ss seO~h " tue DlographeE, on account Oi tne very regular and mefh0dical manner in scripts. A Boston paper says a mai, in that citv s short time since declared that if he did noI get money enough on Saturday night to Iav ms debts, he would commit suicide.--aud the event proved him to be as bad as his word, by putting an end to his life on Saturday night.

 On the 18th inst. young man in Peru, N. Y. named Merrill, put an end to his fife bv hanging himself in field. It is remarkable that on the day of his death, messenger ar- rived from New Hampshire. bearing the news that his mother had killed herself, isn,t one week before m similar way.

 The FSigate United States, Com. Hull. sailed from Valparaiso for ,CoquimbO and the lntermedlos about the 7th of April. She had g mOpttss provision on board, and it was thought that she would go to the Sandwich Islands.

 The news of the death of Com. Macdon- ough had been received, and minute guns were fired on the occasion. Orders have been received at New-York. from tlle Navy Department, to prepare tie irlgate BFandy-wine for sea in ten days. She IS to sail from N.

 The apparent contradictions in the different papers with respect to the hour at which the Declaration of Independence was adopted, and at which it was pEomulgated, can easily be reconciled. It was adopted ny Congress between the hours of l2 and | o'clock. in Tn- dependence Hall; it was first publicly read to the people about o'clock in the affernooh in the State House Yard.

Gdz. formidable Paper.-A new paper has been lately commenced in London,called THe -4ttas," which measures feet inches by 2 feet inches, being double the size of the New York papers, and unquestionably the lar- gest newspaper ever printed.

 The following information has been receiy- ed from the Captain of French corvette from the West Indies, spoken in the British chan nel :-He states that being surrounded by ice several days on the exterior edge of the banks of Newfoundland, he saw the larboard bow of an American ship, bright waist, and billet head, supposed to be about 800 tons burden, and from all appearances she must have been some time in that situation. From the above description, 1t is the general opinion that this must have been the Cricis, Capt. Van Dyke, which sailed from Cowes for New-York, on the 11th of January, and has not since been heard of.-LO'sden paper.

 The fact is curious and worth relating that John Adams was eight years older than Thom- as Jefferson; Thomas Jefferson eight years older than James Madison; James Madison eight years older than James Monroe: and James Monroe eight years older than John Quincy Adams.

 Uncommon Occurence.--At Gloucester. Mass. within few days, all the black martins and a considerable number of the common barn- swallows, have died. The cause is attributed by some to want of food, and by others to disorder.

 LEXINGTON, June ls.

 DeshG's CGse.-The June term of the liar rison Circuit Court commenced at Cynthiana onMOnday last. The case of Isaac B. Desha, we learn, was called the first day of this term ana Oentre summoned to- try him. The whole panel was rejected, each one having formed or expressed an opinion, either from r,s. mor or otherwise, touching the prisoners guilt. The effort to procure jury was con- tinued the second day, but without success, and the trial abandoned for the term. No expectation is now entertained of his ever be- ing again tried in that county. This will in effect acquit him, or keep him a state priso- ner at an annual expense to the public treas,l- ny of something like SSOOO.-Reporter.
