THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 21, 1843. THE WEST UNION MKETINO MESSRS. UAMER, price, McDowell &. co. The resolutions of the meeting at West Union, of which Judye Price was chairman, have, after a little hesitation, found admission into the columns of the Statesman. They had, however, been previously copied by the Cincinnati Enquirer, and made the subject of a savage and uncompromising criticism by Auditor Brougli, who, unlike his coadjutor here, thinks them clear and definito enough. Bam speaks with more reserve, and is evidently perplexed. lie at first looks upon the affair as a somewhat mysterious development," but gives a portion of the gentle-meu engaged with it his endoniement, "as true and faithful democrats." We suspect the State Printer is trying to overreach the Auditor in this matter, there being no good feeling lost between them, and hence the soothing and flattering language of the former towards Meters. Loudon, Dial and Williams, now that the latter has committed himself by denouncing and reviling them in bitter terms. Sum concludes, however, that the resolutions have acquired too much notoriety, as they "are wholly indefinite, and suit one thing about as well as another" that, in short, tlioy really deserve but little attention." Let any man read them over again, and determine for himself how much they are calculated to "suit one thing as well as another!" But notwithstanding the Auditor's bold severity, and the State Printer's twisting and wriggling like a hog in a yoke, our first impressions respecting these resolutions have not been shuken. It Is a family eruption, nowise promissory of accession to the Whig ranks, now or ultimately, though if a division should be temporarily created, our next victory will be an easier one. Mr. I lamer, doubtless, foresees that on its present basis, the party to which he ia attached must full, and he is anxious to place it on a more table foundation. His movement does credit to his sagacity as a party tactician, but excepting on this currency question, with reference to its iipuence on party politics, we see not how he is to be distinguished from the majority of his brethren. What the next top will be, cannot readily be foreseen. The sentiment that " if it high time for the people to take their affair into tlieir oim hnwls? contains a world of truth, and if acted upon in the right spirit might be made productive of salutary results. It is directly opposed to the destructive policy which has produced all our difficulties. Messrs, 1 1 inner, McDowell & Co. are unquestionably deeper casuists than the Columbus junto ; but the junto, at this moment, havo the unthinking and unprincipled portion of the party with them. If wo hear any thing more on this subject, we shall not fail to apprise our readers. RHODE ISLAND. The President has addressed a communication to the Governor of Rhode Island, in reply to representations made by the latter that Uie peace and good order of the State were threatened wiUi violent interruption, in which ho states in very explicit terms, that should an occasion arise requiring Uie interpo sition of Uie Federal Government to preserve the lo cal government from any apprehended attempts to overthrow or subvert it by unlawful means, he ah ill " not be found to shrink from Uie performance of a duty, which white it would be most painful, would at the same time be most imperative." The Piesi- dcut refers, as the rule under which he should feel bound to act, to the 4Ui section of Uie 4Ui article of the Constitution of the United States, in which it is proved among other Uiings, that the General Govern ment shall protect Uie State Governments against invasion and " Domestic violence. It is also declared by Uio act of Congress of 21st of February 7t5. that in cose of an insurrection in any State against Uie government thereof, the President shall have power to call forth Uio militia of any other State to aid in suppressing it And by Uie act of March 3, IH07, he is authorised to employ the land and naval forces of Uie United States for a similar purpose. Gov. King has issued his proclamation with the President's letter annexed, admonishing the people of Rhode Island to govern Uicmselvcs accordingly. This will probably nip the revolution in Uie bud, and save Dutee J. Pierce and his compeers from running Uieir necks into a noose. The intelligence to-day from Rhode Island, is that whilst some of Uie disorganize! are determined to go on with their election despite Uie law of Uie State denouncing penalties therefor, oUiers who have been among the most tcaluus are disposed to pause. There wili be no hostile collision, we are persuaded. MORE WITHDRAWALS. The Lower Sandusky Whig mentions two or three more wiUtdrawats of delegates to Uie Tyler State Convention, who declino Uie honor conferred upon them. Tylerisin is at a remarkably low ebb in Ohio, Tor a State which, according to the veracious and talented editor" of the Old School Republican, is to givo its electoral vote to John Tyler in 1814. The following is Uie notice from the Whig: Mr, David Day, of Woodville, requests us to state, tint the appointment or Imn as deleirnto to the Ad ministration State Convention, to have been held on yesterday, was made without his knowledge or consent ; and that he does not wish to be understood as having left the Whig party, with which he has so long identified. He aUo mokes the samo request in behalf of Mr. Alex. Dat, likewise appointed such delegate. Others have expressed Uienuelvosin like manner. 10th CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. The Whig papers in Mr. Giddinga' district como freighted with Uio proceedings of public meetings composed in moat instances of the men of all parties, who feel indignant at the hasty, ill-advised and un- warrantable action of Uie House, on Uie subject of his resolutions. Mr. etlcr, who volunteered to bo Mr. Butts' catpnw, in offering Uie resolutions of ren. sure, has not gained a great deal of credit even among his own friends, for his subserviency and truckling disposition, nor will the seven Loco Focos who voted to degrade Uieir colleague, Uio Representative of a free State and a free constituency, mako a vast deal of political capital out of the transaction. As evidence of Uie spirit which prevails in Mr. U.'a district, we notice Uie following resolution which was adopted at a county meeting of the citizens of Ashtabula, "irre spective of party, by acclamation. uHesotpedt That the Hon. J. R. Ginntitas on his return to Congress, be and ho is hereby instructed at Uie first ntoment that it shall be in order, to introduco the identical resolutions over apain, and insist Uint Uie House of Representatives act upon Uiem by a direct vote. TRIBUTE OF RESPECT FOR THE 0. a R. Tho Cadii Republican, the efficient Whig paper in Harrison cc, has Uie following complimentary no tice of Uie O. a R. We have marked tho Old School Republican off our exchange list some time since. Itul we still hnd it among our bundle of exchanpea every Monday ni(fht We mostly single out this ojf'tpnnx of Uio family at Columbus and endeavor to palm it upon some whig, conservative or locofoco, but we invariably fail. As we seldom burUien ourselves with it to Uie office, we would solicit Uie editors, in future, to give lis no eause of complaint as wo do not permit such imui io iumo under our nose.

JOHN I. VANMETER, VMimaru 0. J. Pti F.i,rs, Secretary. For Uio Ohio Stale Journal. I Mb. EntTon Bv ffivini? an insertion in vour na- perof Uie subjoined articlo, headed "Fraud in tho Manulacturo ot bait," tram a Cayuga farmer, in Uie February Number of " The Cullivutor," an Agricul tural pupcr, published in the city of Albany, New York, you will corner a Invor on your Agricultural readers in Ohio; all of whom are interested in Uio subject thus brought to the notice of Uie public. J lie growing ot pork and brat la so great a Btnple product of Ohio, Uiat whatever injures their quality when salted, and with it their market value, is a matter of deep moment to the whole farming community, as well as to Uio packers of provisions. It bus long been known, Unit in Uie Salt manufactories of iNew 1 orK, lime is copiously mixed with uie salt-water for tho double purposo of facilitating the process of manufacture and imparting to their Salt a snow white and imposing color. Tho beautiful appearance thus given to the New York Salt, has been a principal means of bringing it into very general favor and use in all the interior of Ohio; the inexerienced farmer naturally inferring that this fine color is evidence of its purity, instead of being an infallible indication of an adulterated article. That the complaint of the Cayuga fanner is well founded, is rendered certain by the fact that Uie Superintendent of Uio New York Willi nes, in his Inst Annual Report, has brought Uiis subject to Uie notice of Uie public authorities, and intornis them uiat uie mode ot mantilucturing Uie fine grained salt in Uiat State is such, Uiat it cannot bo used with safety in salting provisions. In Uie manufacture ol bait on the Muskingum nd in the Hocking valleys, no lime is Ufcd. The Salt is, of course, witiiout Uie imposing appearance Uiat lime impurts to it; but owing to the absence of lime. Uieir Suit of a fair apponrancc may be safely used in packing provisions. Ihe Uhio nmnutacturera have abstained from Uie use of lime in their water, from a conviction Uiat a good name got by bad means enn- not last long, ami irotn a ocnci uint in uie enu me farmers and packers will, in this matter, learn the truth of Uie old adage Uiat "all ia not gold that glitters." The Muskingum and Hocking valleys aro abundantly able to supply Uio whole interior of Uie State with ballot uie very nest quality tor curing provi sions, at the cheap rate of one cent per pound ; and if a steady market could be assured at Uiat price, the manufacture would be immediately enlarged in Ohio to the oxtcnt of the whole consumption of the State. Surely, the Ohio farmer and packer will be satisfied, it a good article ot domestic manufacture can bo made and sent to market for one cent a pound. This can be done ; and in doing it, a good articlo substitu ted tor an adulterated one, it uie legislature and people of Ohio w ill give proper encouragement to the domestic manufacturers by protecting them a-ffainst tho attempts of Uie New Yorkers to obtain favors not granted to others in navigating our canals, and against Uio bounties given by the State of New York to uieir nmmitacturers on Uie Wait brought into Uie Ohio Canal for tho very purpose of breaking down our own industry in this branch of business, and with tho intent, in tho end, to obtuin exclusivo posses'ion or the market on Uieir own terms. In New York, Salt is a Stnte monopoly, tinder Uie con- tro) of the State; but in Ohio, it never can (if Uie manufacture grow up) become a monopoly, because the Suit springs, instead of being Uie prorerty of Uio Mtnte, as in INew lorK.arc Uie property ot numerous individuals, and capable of almost indefinite multiplication. Tho business onco firmly established, Uie competition among the manufacturer will always secure to Uio people a guarantee against monopoly or high price. If Uie manufacture row up at home, it will create an active homo trndo in the exchange of commodities between the manufacturer and tne farmer, reciprocally beneficial to both. To Uie farm er of Uie interior, the manufacturer must look for a supply of food and subsistence for himself and his laborers; whereas, on uio contrary, n alt is import ed from New York, its direct effect is to add to our indebtedness to a Stato which we already owe so largely, by importing from it more Uian we send to it in return, Uiat they aro enabled to raise exchange against us to ten and even fifteen cents on tho dollar, Uiat is to say, the people of New York havo the. same power over the people of Ohio, to shave and oppress thcin as a community, Uiat, in private life, a creditor has over his distressed deblor, who, if ho cannot pay his debt must consent, if his creditor will It to submit to such terms at he may dictate. Now, if Uie people of Ohio supplied their own wanta wiUiin themselves, they would no longer be shaved ten or fifteen or any other por cent If Uiat day shall ever come, it will put an end to our distresses, since, instead of being debtor, we should, by Uie export of our surplus agricultural products, immediately become an independent creditor community. Tho state of Uie times certainly calls loudly upon us to correct una condition oi uunga as laras practicable, by creating within ourselves whatever wo have Uie power to produce, Salt, a necessary of life alike indispen-snble to the poor and tho rich, is one of those articles which we have the means of making in abundance for ourselves. In manufacturing Salt for our own in)' ply, we shall advance one important step towards this salutary ref wu, bv cutting off a drain into Now York from Ohio, of at least two hundred thousand dollars per annum. But to return to Uie Cayuga fanner. His article is as follows: FRAUD IN THE MANI'FACTUHE OF SALT. Mrssrs. Gat i,o no & Ti-rnr.a Permit mo to draw Uio attention of the puhlic, and especially of iaw manors, ana tnoso wiioho duty it is to see Uiat Uie laws are faithfully executed, to an outragcoua imposition, a bant fraud, which is being, or at least has been perpetuated Umn more or less of our citizens in Uie article of salt I have pronounced it a base fraud : it is more ; for, in its operation, it does not only unjustly and dishonestly take from one what rightfully belonged to him, and appropriate it to the use of another, but renders perfectly valueless Uiat which cost much and is worth much in supplying the daily wanta of mankind. The grievance complained of consist in the introduction of so large a quantity of Liino, in Uie manufacturing of Uie article, as to destroy all antiseptic properties in the curing, or preservation of animal food. I am informed Uiat the liberal use of Lime, in Uie manufacturing of salt by , boiling, makes it handsomer and perhaps has a tendency to facilitate the process. It Dial ten little hat tho motive is which induces Uie amalgamation of Lime with this valuable and indispensable article, but all are interested in its effects, 1 will state to you the somewhat expensive experience I have had in Uut matter, u facts are juaily considered the boat arguments. A few weeks since. I put down several barrels of pork, very nice and sweet at the time of packing ; used over one nusnol oi vxii (so caneui to every two hundred pounds of meat, and covered it wiui a vory strong brine. Some three or murweeKB afterwards, upon examination, I found it nearly worthless. The meat appeared to be literally covered with Lime, and is utterly unfit for table use. Unfortunately, I am not Uie only one who has thus been imposed upon. It appears to me Uiat this is a subject Uiat calls for immediate and thorough investigation by Uiu proper auUionties ; and if thoso whose especial duty it is to take cognizance of it omit to do so, then it behoovos Uie People to devise means to nip in Uie bud so vile an imposition and base mlrac-tion of their rights. 1 trust this communication will be sufficient to enlist the attention of those whose immediate provneo and duty it is to remove the cause of complaint Its inijiortanco must be acknowledged by all. Will not Uie editors of our agri cultural paper, bring their aid to the accomplishment ot uie object r The agriculturists are deeply interested. A Faiimei. or Cayuua co. COLLINS AXES. Correspondence of Ihe Marietta IiiiiHigriirer. CoLuifsviLi.e, Conn., July Itli, 18-11. , Tilts village is situated on the Farmington river in the Southerly part of the town of Canton, Here ia Uie very extensive manufactory of the superior axes, known tho world over as M Collins if C'oV These works were commenced in lfc&5 by two brothers, David and Samuel W. Collins, who continued the sole proprietors until ltJ4, when the establishment passed into Uie hands of a company ; though it is still managed principally by these gentlemen. Tho water power is very extensive, and never fails the entire river being under control. Tho work bIiods are sufficiently extensive, and furnished wiUi tools enough to employ iMQ men, who with the machinery would manufacture 1000 axes daily. The present number of men employed is about 100, who make about 500 per day, hach axe pusses through thirteen bauds. The first shop yuu enter contains two ponderous machines where the iron is cut into bars of Uie proper size and weight, the head funned, and tho eye punched. The muehine for punching the eye is the invention of a gentleman employed in Uie establishment, I believe as the principal overseer. Not more than two minutes puss from Uio time the heated bars are placed in tho machine before Uie head of the axe is formed, the eye punched, and it is ready for tho next shop, where Uio steel is put in. About 12 to 14 ounces of steel is used in each axe of the ordinary patterns. They are next passed into Uie hammering shop thence into the tempering shop, and thence into tho grinding shop. In this last a-purUnent they pass through four hands Uio first tone upon which they arc placed being very coarse, and tho last very line. Thore aro twcnty-fuiir grindstones averaging 4000 poundB each. Is hey next go to the polishing shop, then to the hands of the finisher, and so in about two hours, the raw material is inude into a finely tempered and beautifully finished uxe. More recently, the iron used is obtained principally from Salisbury, .'10 miles west, that being considered superior to tho Peniwylvania iron, which has formerly been used. The workmen are principally paid for their Inbor by the piece. The present capital of tho company is ;10U,COO. With one exception they own all the building in tiio plnce. Tho village is laid out with regularity the buildings are of frame uniform size and oil painted white. men u welling house has two tenements, each ot which with a quarter of an acre of ground connected therewith, renu for '. per annum. The house of worship, which is also owned by the company, is a very neat specimen of architecture, and is erected on a beautiful piece of ground a little distance from tho river. A salary of $HU0, per annum is paid the clergyman to raise which the avails of the annual sale of pews is applied, and the balance, if any is necessary it is raised by private subscription, The workmen are nearly all men of strictly temperance principles, and a large majority of tiicm are regular at tendants upon divine service. The grounds about the dwelling of S. W.Collins. Esq- ono of Uie original proprietors and at present the active man of the company, are tastefully orna- menifu wim inniuoery ana nowers, ana his garden enriched with choice fruits. Indeed there is ev idence of tusto and an appearance of cheerfulness tiirough the trWr village which you rarely meet wi h. Messrs. on ms commenced business with a cspitol of vl.V 000.

Lindsay, tho editor ol that on tier, was as saulted by Benj. Hinkson, President Judo of tho aeveii'n juuicini t ircuit, winie in a ourbers shop, and felled to tho floor. Mr. L had just risen from Uie chair after shaving, and had no reason to apprehend an attack. Instead of giving blow for blow, he brought Uie case before the Grand Jury, who found a true bill for assault and battery by the Judge upon the editor, which was tried in the Judged nwncourt The defendant at first plead not fruiity, but before Uie examination of Uie witnesses, he 'reversed his plea to guilty. Tho Judgo defended himself, and gave an account of Uio Presidential campaign of IrMO, and in the most scurrilous stlo according to the Republican. Tho decision of Uie Court had not been given on Uie llith. Hut, whatever that decision may be, it is very ap parent that Uie matter should not rest hero. The vi olator of Uio law ia unfit to adminittcr the law, and, if tho facts are correctly narrated, as we believe them to be, Judge Hinkson ought not to bo allowed to re main on Uio bench. It is due to Uie common safety Uiat the authorities of Uie Stato should look into tins matter, anil nurgo Uie Judicinry of any man who would ao fur forget hi station, tho rcsiectdiie to Uio community and to tho law, as to engage in street brawls, and Uien convert Uie lourt-house into a rum in for roystoring political speeches. There is no excuse or palliation for such conduct, and it will not, wo trust, bo tolerated. Another reflection, too. naturally ariccs upon tiiia matter, and Uiat is, the folly, the positive wickedness, cither of making politics tiin test in selecting our Judges, or allowing them, after they arc chosen, to mingle in any way, wiin the party conflicts ot Uio day. Who would be willing to trust a party hack with a grave question touching life, or reputation, or property r ho could reNpcct a J ttdiciary that would allow political animosities to peer out in Uie Courtroom, or make the Judicial power auxiliary to any political party? An upright Judiciary is vital to a well regulated liberty. They go hand in hand, and the moment corruption steals upon the bench, and Uiat becomes swayed by passion, nr interest, or any oUier consideration than the purpose to enforce the law honestly, that moment all fiopo of order, or free dom, is gone.

Tho Bank of Davton, one of Uie best bankimr in stitutions in Uiis State, has given notice that 15 per cent of the stock will be paid to Stockholders on Monday next, and Uiat dividends will be paid them hereafter in order to close up tho business of the bank. In Uiis case, we believe, like most others in Uie State, a portion of Uie Stock is owned by eastern capitalists, so that Uiis will be another source of draining our Stato of money, tiirotigh Uio wiso legislation of Uie locotocos.

Wo learn that the Zanesville Bank hoe issued a small amount of Post Notes, having eight mo nil is to run. As yet Uicy have not found Uieir way here ; it is probable tiiey will bo readily taken, if they should. To our mind, this step on Uio part of Uie Bank, is entirely inexcusable. That it ib in direct violation of law, is known to all. Oppressive as may be the laws which are banishing our circulating medium and grievous as are public burthens, at this time, the Bunks have no right to transcend their prescribed bounds in order to ward off the natural operations of tiioso laws. It is but right that Uie community understand the legitimate fruits of unwise legislation. Too often have the bunks misled tho public mind, by a reckless disregard of low. In Uius doing they but place farther off Uie firm! remedy for public ills. Re sumption is a farce and mockery, if post notes are to be substituted for specie paying paper. The abovo is from Uiat sterling Whig paper, the McConnellsville Whig Standard. Wo copy it for Uio purpose of saying Uiat we concur with every word ol it Wo ire told that Uio Clinton Bank of tins city, is imitating the bad exumple, and we notice tiie fuct for the double purpose of pronouncing it wrong in every point of view, and of enquiring, why it is that Uie Bank Commissioners have not dis charged Uieir duty by proceeding against the institution according to the requirement of the law. We are opposed to post-notes, rail road and turnpike or ders, town and village shmplusters, and trash of eve ry description, as expedients lending only to break Uio force and ward off Uie consequences of Loco Foco measures, bewilder the public mind as to the causes of our distress, and retard the application of the remedy for Uie evils which have reduced tho country from a sttte of prosjierity to its present weak and prostrate condition. It is in vain to call upon Uie peoplo to re fuss time paper, and we should like to see if Uie law is not potent enough to protect us against the abuio. MENDACITY.

On Monilny morning Inst, about thrco o'clock, va were .wakened by a autlilen and extremely brilliant lilit, which shone through Uio window of our aleeu-injr apartment On opening our eyes, we had a momentary glimpse of a vividly luminous body or trail which almost instantly passed out of sight, and was gone. We were convinced it was a largo meteor, and expected an explosion. Wo waited lioin three to live minutes, when a report burst tiirough the welkin like a piece of heavy ordimnco standing within a short distance. There was nothing in it liko thunder, hut a perfect resemblance to the sound wo have named. It shook the houso very sensibly, as it did others in one inaUnco jarring a tooth brush from the window to tho flour. Its direction was northerly, and the explosion took place, probably, over the lake. We found, in Uie morning, that our citizens gener ally were awakened by the rqiort, though not many saw the splendid object Uiat occasioned it Air. Tracy, Uio stngo sgeut, and Uio stage driver, were at Uie time in die barn, just leaving it with a fresh team, when Uiey saw uie light, and at Ihe same time heard a crackling or crushing noise, liko Unit of a falling tree. The source of light appeared like an oblong body of tire rushing with tremendous velocity through Uie air, and eight or ten inches in diameter. It seemed to approach Uie place where Uiey stood in a curvilinear path, and led one of Uiem to exclaim, Mt will strike Uie barn ! " It however naawd over and disappeared, as it seemed to tliem, about half a mile troin Uie point ol observation. In its course, it gave otf frcuuent sparks, or streak, from the sides, anu Uiis was prubably the occasion of the snapping or grating noise which was heard. Its disappearance wus quae singular as described. The long fiery tail seemed to separate from Uio nucleus or head, and Uio latter rushed on, omitting a dark blue llamc; but Uicru was no division of its body into fr.igmenui, or any Uiing else to indicate a fracture, unless, indeed, Uie vory separation of the fiory and blue portions were Uie result uf Uio explosion.. I he light emitted was nearly bright as daylight at mondiun. Tho shingles on distant houses wero distinctly visible. Air. rwxluti, our 1 ostinaster, woa at Uio Uiue of its passage, assorting tho mail, having two candles to furnish him light; but Uie light of ihe meteor was so great sa to make Uiem appear like burning candles in lull daylight. From all we can gaUier, at least threo minutes must have elapsed between the disspiwarnnce of the meteor and Uio hearing of tho report. Consequently, as sound travels at Uie ralo of Uiirleeu miles a minute, Uie body of Ihe meteor must have been nearly forty miles from us, ciUier in elevation or horiton-tal distances at Uie time of its explosion. Probably it was much higher Uian it apieared to be to Uie gentlemen who w itnessed it The w hole duration of its appearance wu not oiere Uian half a minute, if it was as long. I'osTicaipT. Pinco writing the above, we have conversed wilh Mr. Horace I'almer, who was on hie way from Dunkirk to Una place, when Uie meteor appeared. He was two or Uiree milea from Dunkirk, when he appeared to be instantly surrounded wiUi a must paimuuy vivm ngiitirnm a massot fluid or jelly liko substance which fell around and upon Imn, producing a sulphurous smell, a great ditlicully of breathing, and a feeling of faintuess with a strong sensation of heat. As soon as he could recover from his astonishment, ho perceived tho body of tho meteor passing above him, seeming to bo above a milo high. It Uien apn'arfd to be in diameter about the siie of a large steamboat pipe, nearly a mile in length I Its dimensions varied soon : becoming first much broader, and then waning away in diameter and length until the dinner was reduced to about eight inches, and the latter a fourth of a mile when it separalcd into pieces which fell to Uio earth, and almost immediately he heard tho explosion, which he says was tremendous. On arriving hero in Uie morning, his face had every appearance of having been severely scorched i his eyes wero much affected and ho did not rocovor Irom the ahoek it gavo his system for two or Uiree days. Tim is really a niarvelloin story, but Mr, I'almer is a temperate and an industrious man, and a man of integrity i and wo beliovo that any ono conversing wiUi bun on Uie subject, would be satisfied Uiat be intends no deception) but describes Uio scene, as nearly as possible, as it actually appeared. Probably, howovcr, his agitation at his sudden introduction to such a scene caused the mo-teor to be somewhat nwgnilied to him. Witnesses bow speak of the ci&U which wore given off; pro bsbly one of those sparks fell and enveloped Mr. rainier, in addition to its light, Mr. Palmer states Uiat its passage was accompanied bv a sound like Uiat of a car moving on a rail road, only louder. At Salem, an observer stated the meteor to be " as large as a house" raUier indefinite, but proving it to have been one of extraordinary magnitude. It wag noticed at NorUi-East. Waterford. and Surar Grove, Pa ; Chautauque and other towns in this coun ty. 1 he report was heard also at liutlalo. In (Jhau- tauque, an observer describes it as six or eight inches in uiameter, ana nan a nine lung. w o learn also that it burst about uiree miles be yond Fredonio. or about eighteen from Uiis Dlace. The report is, that a fragment has been found, a foot or more in diameter, but we know not uie original authority of Uie statement. If it did burst where it iB represented tohivedono. and it was seen here until it exploded, its elevation must have been about U5 miles. This is pretty low in comparison with most of them; it would seem from the account of Mr. Palmer, that it was much lower still. Perhaps it was not observed here as long as it might have been from good points of vision. Its course is represented bv all to have been north easterly. We are informed bv a vnumr man in tim vleinitv of Erie that the vivid light produced by the above phenomenon was discovered by him Irom his bed chamber, and that it was immediately succeeded by a loud sound like Uiat of thunder first sharp and piercing, and then a heavy distant rumble which alarmed him very much, as the sky appeared perfect ly clear, tie reported Uie hourot ibj occurrence Uie same as given abovo.

Esu: The dull nionotonv of Uio House has been broken to-duy by a kind ot episode a speech from Mr. Adorns, on the subject of our relations with Great Britain. He never rises to speak on any subject without attracting attention ; but on such a subject as Uiis, all woro oager to hoar, and uiuinoera crowded around mm, that uiey might not lose a word ho should utter. I stated last night Uiat Mr. Wise replipd yesterday, to Mr. Linn of N. V. and Mr. Slade of Vt His wus emphatically a war speech, and standing in the re lation to Mr. Tyler and Uio cabinet Uiat lie does, it was considered indicative of the feeling at tho other end of the avenue, or of a wish existing in that quar ter to stir up a war spirit among the people, to-day .Mr. Charles J. Ingersoll came out with what Mr. Ad ams wittily but aptly termed " a pie ifie. war speech." 1 here were hvo points ot ditterence between us and England, namely : tho N. E. Boundary Uuestinn, Uie Right of Search, tho Carolino atf lir, the Creole Case, and tho Oregon Boundary Uuestinn. On all these England was in the wrong; lie thought there was no need of any war that there would be any war he wished well to Lord Ashburton, would be glad to see him settle matters hero and go home and be promot ed to an Earldom ; but ho advised him to yield every thing umt we dunned and then peace would be preserved. As to a war, he did not think it such un uvil as most peoplo; there many advantages in it As to our not being prepared and all that, he said it had always been uio case Uiat Uie nation worst prepared for war was in the end victorious. The British might burn New York, but then it was as eaiy for us to burn London as for them to burn New ork. As to the right of search, he declared there was no such thing in war or peace. Air. Adams replied cruelly to this speech, but inci dentally also to Air. Wise's. Air. A. had not spoken two minutes before Mr. I. explained, and denied what he had said, and somo altercation took place ns to what he did say, in tho courso of which, Mr. I. got very angry and used the word jkiikV as distinguishing Mr. Aduiu's remarks. Air. A. thus taunted with being an old man, replied with becoming dignity, but with a keenness Ui-it pierced the very joints of Mr. I. and rnado him writhe. Air. A. then went on, only occasionally interrupted by Air. I. whom ho fairly torturod by Uie scorching iruny, sarcasms, and ridicule, which he poured upon him. Ho noticed and ridiculed the idea that tho nation that goes into a war unprepared is sure to como out victorious. He said that Mr. I. had spoken with cold indifference of Uie burning of New Vurk, which he seemed to admit would bo a very probable thing, in case of a war ho was quite reconciled to this event by tho suppo sition that If New Vork was burned, wecould burn London, a city four or five times as large, and thereby settle Uie account with a large balance in our favor. Sir, said Air. A. if thero was a man in Uiis 1 louso who heard the'gentleman from Pa speaking of burning cities, in Ihe manner he did, without a feel ing of indignation and shame, he wanted no inter course with him. Mr. A. dilated upon this burning ol' cities until he had kindled a fire on Air. Ingersoll's head, which if not as icy as Mont Blanc, ruust have lelt a burning sensation. Air. A. said he had attributed some importance to tho remarks from tho gentleman from Pa in connection with the speech from the gentleman from Va., Air. Wise; but he hoped Lird Ashburton would not; lio hoped ho would consider them made for a little ilisplay in Uiis House, tor Homo consumption for 4 Bunkum," and Uiat he would not go home, in con- sequonco of Uiom, but go on with his negotiations with Uiis government, just as if Uiis speech hud never been made. The irony was a dagger Uiat went to Uie soul of Air. I. and made him change color fre quently, though, to do him justice, he ioined in Uie hearty laugh, now and frequently raised by Mr. A. at ills oxpense. In Uio course of his remarks Mr. A. gavo a very interesting history of the negotiation between Uiis Government and Great Britain, in regard to a mutual concession of .earth, which took pluce in Jc I rt li U. Beforo ho left England to assume the duties of Secretary of Stato under Air. Alonroo, Mr. Wilber-forcc, he said, .ought an interview wiUi him ; his ob ject wos to enquire whcUier Uiis Government would ho willing to enter into an arrangement fur a mutual right of search on Uie coast of Africa, for Uie purpose id putting a stun to Ihe slave trade. Air. Adams told him, that such had been the manner in which the Government of England had exercised that right wnicn uiey nau claimed and wo had dcniod, Uiat ho did not think his countrymen would everagreo to any such arrangement; but if Uiey chn.0 they could msko the proposition. Tho proposition was afterwards, while ho wos Secretary of State, made. lie opposed it vigorously and almost alone, in Air. Alonroo s cabinet tho members of Uio cabinet who wero slavo holders, and Air. Alonroo himself, favoring it Both houses of Congress too favored it, and passed reso lutions recommending Uie I'roudent to cntor into the negociaUon. Ho had a conversation with Air. C. F. Mercer on Uiis subject, and so widely did Uiey differ that they had warm words about it: and another member from Virginia, General Alexander SmyUi, auurwariia in a letter to ins constituents, used as an argument against his election to the Presidency, the fact Uiat he waa oposod to abolishing Uie slave trade! He wanted to statu the conversation he (Mr. A.) had had with Gen. Mercor, but Gen. At. posiuvcly forbade him (Gen. S.) to do so, as it was a private ennvorsa-Uon. The resolutions recommending Uie President to enter into tho negotiation for the mutual right of search, passed tins IIouso with but mis negative votes ! Such was the tooling then, on Uiis right of search among slave holders, a light about which we hoar ao much now. Tho negotiation was entered upon; as Secretary of State ho waa Uie organ, and the very reluctant organ of Uie Government in directing our Alinister, Air. Rush, to enter upon it. Air. Rush opened Ihe subject to Air. Georgo Canning, who at once told him to dmw up Uio convention in his own way and ho would sign it Air. Rush did draw it up, and Mr. ('. signed it without dotting an i, or crossing at It cumc hero and wus submitted to tho Senulo: in Uio meiiiitimo, a party hostile to Air. Munroe had sprung up, and there was not the samu disposition to support or gn with the administration. Sjme little alterations were made in Uie Treaty by tho senate, anil it was sent hack to England for ratification : but Air. Canning took umbrage at the alterations alter being drawn up by Uio American Alinister himself, and would not ratily it as altered, and thus it tell through. During this recital. .Mr. A. was listened to with breathless attention, eecinlly by the Southern men, into whoso nunds new light seemed to break many of whom were entirely ignorant that any such nego-ciation had ever taken place. Hut that Air, Adams should then have been m opfioscil to tins search, and tho slaveholders in Air. Monroe's Cabinet should havo been its advocates, was a new phase of Uio subject altogether. It will bo recollected Uiat u.r. Calhoun was one of Uie members of Umt Cabinet Air. Adams aaid that ho saw no ditlicully in settling Uie nuestiun of Uio rk'ht of search. Ho had taken tho correspondence between the two nations on this subject, and had asked himself wherein they dilfered. anil really he could not tell. England did not claim the right of search i sho only claimed the right to visit merchant ships it might be a British vessel, to see Uiat Uiey were not pirates and to see if they hoisted tho American (lag, thatthny had a right to do so. That flag should protect all who had a right to pru'.ectwn undox it ; but it might bo used by Uiose who had no right to use it; and all Uiey claimed, and this we must concede in them, was that they Bhould go on Uie deck of the vessel and she if see were an American vessel. The same right as to all merchantmen which our cruisers meet on Uie ocean, is exercised by us, and by all nations. Air. Ingersoll had spoken of Uie influence which Gov. Cass' pamphlet had had in France, to prevent the ratification of Uie quadruple Treaty in regard to the mutual right of search. Air. A. did not entirely concur in Gov. Cass' views, but if the pamphlet had had any such effects as Air. I. had imputed to it, he very much regretted it. He regretted it, because it was inducing France to act in bad faith. The treuty hud been negotiated bv an authorized nublie ao-eni. and was binding on France, and the refusal to ratify it by Uie French Chambers might involve Europe in a war. But he regretted if any such influence hd been used, on another account ; it was involving us in Uie war which must one of these days, come in Europe, and he wished to keep clear of all narticioa- lion in European affairs. This was Uio policy of Washington and Jcllerson, and it was the truo poli cy of this country. He said that when a war should come, it would not be for the right of search ; but it would oe lor Uie destruction ot Uie dynasty ot Louis Phillippe. That was not avowed by those in France who oposed the ratification of the Treaty, but it was tlieir object nevertheless, Uiore were those in Uie French Chambers who were more hostile to Louis Phillippe than any party in this house were hostile to Martin Van Buren or John Tyler. In speuking of war, in reply to Mr. Ingorsoll's remark Uiat it was not so much of an evil as it was generally considered, Air. A. said Uiat, standing as he did, upon the verge of tho grave, it would matter but little with him personally whether wo had war or peace, but he prayed god to avert such a scourgo from our country. He said he did not ogrco with the sentiment onco given by an ollicer of our navy, when no gave a toast, - our country, may she always bo right; but whether right or wrong, may shoolwavs be successful." He preferred to say, " Our country ; may she always be successful ; but wheUier successful or not may she always be n'gil." At four o'clock Air. Adams gave wny for a motion that the Committee rise, hich wus carried, and tho lloiiBO adjourned. He will continue his remarks to morrow. ARRIVAL OF TIIE GREAT WESTERN. T 'EATY-W.E DA Y8 LA TER FROM EUROPE. The Steam Ship Great Western arrived at New Vork on Sunday, with 70 passengers, having lelt Bristol on tho M instant We are indebted to Uio New Vork Herald and Journal of Commerco for ex tras from which we make up the annexed summary of intelligence: Tho news is important The English have been defeated in Afl'hunistan, having lost six thousand soldiers, and most of tho otficers of the invading army. Advices from Boinbuv to February 1. state thut Cabool has fallen, the wholo British force there, an ounting to six Uiousand men, annihilated ; one enure British regiment, Uie 44lh, erased at one fell swoop from the army list, and live native regiments cut to pieces. Tho ladies of Uie envoy and the ofli-cers, sixteen in number, have been carried into cup- uvity oy uie ruthless Atighans. Mr w imam Blc-Neughtan, envoy to Cabool, had been treacherously assassinated by a son of Dost Alahomed, his head cut otf, paraded Uirough the streets on a pole, and stuck hi uensiou on uio wans oi tuoooi oy tne iniuriated insurgents. 1 hero seems to bo a doubt whether, in tune of peace, England will submit to a war tux, to carry on hostilities in India. The BriUsh are about to send ten thousand trooDs to India. AnniVAt or ME8sr.ivor.Bs with Despatches. Among the passengers bv tho Grout Western were tho following special messengers: Captain W right has despatches for Lord Ashbur ton. Air. Hillard has despatches from Uio American Alinister in London. Air. Do Verigne has despatches for French Min ister at Washington. Mr. Moulton has despatches from Uio Amoncan Alinister at Puris. The Right or Search. The Times of the 30th ult contains Lord Aberdeen's reply to Air. Steven son's noto on Uie right of search, a nd its remarks up on misstate papcr.says: ira Aberdeen begins by disclaiming all responsibility for any expressions used by his predecessor, Lord Palinerston; die then explicitly repeats his former renunciations, on the part of this country, of all claim to a right of search over American vessels in time of peace; and ob serves, Uiat when a vessel is once ascertained to be American, the British cruisers are ordered to abstain from all interference with her, be iht ikiter or other- wise. With American vessels, whatever bo their desti nation, British Cruisers have no pretension in any manner to interfere. Such vessels must be permitted, if engaged in it to enjoy a monopoly of this unhallowed trade, but the British Governinenteoncludea Lord Aberdeen, will never endure Uiat the fraudulent use of the American flag shall extend the iniquity to oUier nations, by whom it is abhorred, and who have entered into solemn treaUcs with Uiis country for its entire suppression." ihe late Alarums of Hertford died worth nearly two millions of money. 1 empeha.ice i InELAk'n. We are sorry to see Sir Robert Peel has stated in Parliament, hat the temperance pledges in Ireland appear to have failed, and Uiat Uio consumption of whiskey had been increasing thero since July last. I.inu. The intelligence hrnught by Uie overland mail is Uie most disastrous which it has ever been the task of historian or journalist to record since Uio foundation of our Indian empire. The summary from Uie Bombay paper, which wo subjoin, crives as clear and full an account of the transactions at Ca bool as tho present stste uf information supplies. The fate of Sir William Hay AlcNughton, will ex- cito in every Englishman feelings ol grief and indignation not to bo repressed. The "Times" correspondent thus describes the indignities to which his remains wero subjected : "The head of Sir William II. AlcNaghten was cut off, and the mouth filled with a portiun of Uio mutilated body it was decorated with the greeu spectacles which Sir William used to wear, and in thut state paraded Uirough Uie town by ordor of Uie son of Dost Alohaniined." Thus fell, in Uio discharge of a great public duty, an amiable man, a gentleman, and a scholar, wluwo os as a public servant is sincorely deplored, and lor whose deuth, by the hands of an assassin and a traitor, the whole ilritish empire must demand, as India lias already done, tho most divided vengeance. Dost Alohatnuicd himself, it appears, is at proaent at Suharunpoor. lie is suictly watched and guara-ed, but othorwiso under no particular restraint So far from having been detected in correspondence with his former subjects, or suspected of exciting Uiem against us, he seems to be severely and deeply an- uuveu ai uio cunuuci Ol nis son. Humor tuithor asserts Umt the whole force I near v fi,lKX) men) in the entrenchment camp at Cabool had been destroyed in Uio endeavor to torco a passage through Ihe defiles to Jcllaliihad. We trust, however, that this will not be confirmed. The force comprised Her AInjesty's 44Ui regiment, three regiments oi me uengai native Inlantry, and I,1IKI cavalry, besides artillery. It seems incredible that a force like llus should be destroyed by Uie insurgent blul- It appears by Uie accounts from the Emrlinh nupers. that the force at Cabool which has been destroyed, consisted of 6,000 men, which, in consequence of supplies having been cut off, wero ill olf for clothing and pinched for food. In this condition thcircanlon-mcnts were surrounded by from 111,000 to l.VlOO of tho Ghilxies. On the If-'d December a battle was fought in which much slaughter took place. Terms woro proposed to the British Uiat they should surren-render their arm., and agree to evacuate the country altogether. The niarned officers and Uieir wives were to be retained as hostages, and returned to Uio British only when they had got beyond Pesltawur, and Dost Alahomtned been restored' to Uiem. The envoy's answer to this was that "death was preterahlo to dishonor, that they trusted to the God of battles, and Uiat in his name they defied them to ronio on." On Christmas day, the envoy, attended by Captains Conolly, Lawrence, Trevor, and Mi Keniio, having gone out, apparently at the request of the insurgent chiefs, to discuss tho tonus of cspitulatinn, an angry interview ensued; it appears probablo that the same insolent terms previously rejected by Uie envoy had boen pressed uiinn him in a manner nioro intolerably offensive than those formerly employed. He appears to nave ireaion uiem with m-oni; high words ensued, when Sir William AIcNaehten wa shot dendnn the spot It is believed by the hands of Ukbar Khan. The terms partially acceded to by Sir Win. AlcNaghten wero yot to bo accepted, if conceded by an army perishing of hunger. They woro to move for Jcllalahad Uirough Uie fearful passes of Khoord Cabool, with the determination of desperato men standing by tho consequences.

Eight political agents havo perished violently amongst Uiose whose all'airs Uiey hud been appointed to arrange. Young Edward Conolly, brother of the traveler, waa shot through the head by the side of Sir Robert Sale, September IA), 1840. Dr. Lord fell at Purwan Durrah, November 2 ; Rattray, his successor, and Dr. Grant his assistant and friend, were killed it Rohistan on the outbreak of Uie present insurrection; Sir William McNagb-ten, Sir Alexander Barnes, Captain John Conolly, (not the traveler, he is at Khiva,) Captain Broadfoot, mm uiBuiuuaiu uuiiies, uavo uccouis vicuins at cabool. FREE TRADE. Vermont is a great wool-growing State. Wool which in I8.W-5 brought from 58 to fc!2 cents a pound, and yielded the grower a handsome profit, is now a drug, at 28 to !)0 cents, yielding no profit. And, without a new tariff, Uiis wool will not command any price after Uie 1st of July, when Uie duties are re duced to tho minimum of the compromise act The Tariff and Free Trade doctrines are extensively con-vossod in Vermont Uie Whigs generally for a tariflV for protection, and revenue Uie Locofocos for free trade, and, consequently, for direct taxation for revenue. The " Spirit of the Age," a Locofoco paper at Woodstock, Uie oUier day, in advocaUng Uie free doctrine, said: " It is a little strange that Uie farmers will got understand this matter. Suppose, to make the subject plain, they sell Uieir wool this year for forty cents per pound und buy their broadcloth for one dollar a yard.

Foreign governments collect s tax of some forty millions a year, more or less, assossed directly on the products of American industry before they can be consumed by Uieir people. This tax or impost duty diminishes Uie pnee thut would be paid to American producers, at least twenty millions of dollars, provided it was not imposed on American exports. This paying twenty millions annually into tne treasuries ot foreign nauons by our citizens, without any thing liko an equivalent, has paralyzed Uieir industry, mado Uieir own national and stato treasuries bankrupt, and created an amount of individual liabilities which noUiing but the expunging operation of a genera bankrupt law can ever cancel.
