Editor The public have already been in. formed, through the medium of your own and other papers, of the intended establishment ofa daily per-sonal communication with New York, to commence with the opening of the rail road to New Haven. The advantages which the business community would de. rive from such facilities, cannot but bo apparent to all and though the experiment is an expensive one, and may by somo be considered ol doubtful success, yet both these considerations should induce the most lib. eral encouragement which the citizens can afford.

Indeed, we are already discovering some important benefits from the announcement that such a thing was in contemplation and the public are now in. formed that newtpoper will be transmitted grade by the same boats, on hoard which one of our merchants, but a few days sirco, was peremptorily forbidden to take a bundle, though his own name was on the wrap, per, merely because it contained, or waa supposed to contain, newspapers. There can bo no doubt that th new manenvre is intended, by withdrawing a material item in tho re. ceipts of Ihe daily expreet, lo break down and defeat that important enterprise. But we trust that it may be unsuccessful.

The public have no assurance that the new arrangement on board the steam boats will bo continued a single month, and past experience teaches this community to expect thut an abandonment of the projected express would be immediately followed by another refusal on tho pari of the New Haven steam boat proprietors to carry newspapers on any terms. But the new project, it permitted lo go into operation, will insure greater promptness, regularity and despatch in this kind of communication than can be obtained in any other wy; and wo hope the projectors may find with the increasing difficulties and obstacles thus thrown in their way, sn increasing disposition on the part of the public, to sustain them at all reason, able sacrifices, in the prosecution of their purpose. Mansneld Mount, Nov. 14, 1839. TO THE CHARTER OAK.

Gather around me ye muses Ye whosoemployment it is to guide tho pen, come now at my call That I may pour forth my numbers in strains that will u'en charm tho Charier Oak, who has long been accustom, ed to listen to eloquence the most sublime. Alas! ye coino not. Well then, wrap thy nk munlle around thee, and let it hide then forever from my view. With, out one touch from thy pen, I can tell my simple story. On the summit of one of Vermont's loftiest, bleakest mountains, I was placed lo battle with the winds and the storms.

Often in playful mood, havo they decked me in a robe of the purest white, or suspended from my branches drops which might vie with the purest pearls. Then the wind would como and sweep them all away, leaving my lassclcd boughs to wave in Irce. dom. From my elevated situation I can look down uptn Ihe changes which are daily occurring, but they affect me not. Time was when I could only look into the dark recesses of the forest, or watch tho verging ahudows which mountain cast upon mountain.

Far different is now the scene. The morning light re. veals to my enraptured view, fiVds and woods inter, per sod with farm-houses and villages, and watered by numerous little rivulets. I cannot forbear to mention the beaulilul river which meanders through the valler at the foot ol my mountain home. Now leaping and foaming over rugged rocks, now flowing peacefully along, now hiding itself in a deep dark dell, now reflecting from its calm pure bosom, the rays of the rising sun.

But, my friend, I shall enjoy this prospect but a little longer. The blood in my veins circulates but slowly, and my heart is growing cold. My verdure will be scattered to tho winds, and my body return to the earth whence ir sprang. And now, my friend, I have completed my task, except to tenderyou my thanks for the kind epistle you sent me; and to wish that when you aro no more, one of your race might be placed upon the spot you now occupy, and receive your name, and be loved for your sake. Yours, Pitch Pine.

The last Raleigh (N. Register of Saturday says that a painful rumor had been in circulation in that city for several days, the amount of which was that tho Hon. Edward Stanley and Win. L. Kennedy, of Beaufort, had gone to Virginia to settle an affair of honor Mr.

K. being the challenger. That piper adds "Just as our paper goes to piess, a report is in circulation, whether true or false wo know not. that the parlies were artes'cd on their way to tha battle ggound and bound over." We regret to learn that three gentlemen of this city, occupying respectable positions in society, were ar. rested snd held to hail on Saturday, upon a chargo of being concerned in fitting out vessels designed to be employed in the slave trade.

Thi case was originally brought and tried, at the last August term of this Court. The prisoner was at that time tried upon two counts, one charging him with committing an assault and battery on Mr. T. L. Wright, and the other count charged him with an assault with intent to kill.

The Jury were then unahl to agree, and the papers taken bsck, and the case continued to the present term. Ileie the State Attorney entered a nolle prosequi as to the second count, and tried him only for the assault and battery in the first count. Verdict, guilty. Counsel for prosecution.

Perkins, for prisoner, himself and C. Chap man, Esq. Ellington School. We learn that at a recent meeting of the stockholders of the Ellington School for boys, it was resolved to change it into an Institution for theedocstion of females. It is expected that measures will soon be adopted to obtain well qualified teachers, and to open the School with such advantages ai will invite tho patronage of such parents as aro desirous ol giving their daughters a thorough, practical education.

correspondence OF THE IiAILT courant. New. Yore, Nov. 19, 183D. Tho distress which exists among all classes in this city exceeds any thing ever known hero, with perhaps the single exception of the panic of '3T.

And it may even be doubted whether, even in the extremity of the pressure which existed at that timo, all the different classes, except the few in no wise engaged in business, shared so universally in the sufforinir. While the merchant, now ns before, is beset with a ruinous inter, est on the one hand, and protests and bankruptcy on the other, the marketman, in the unexampled low prices of his articles, tho laborers, in the almost utter impossibility to obtain employment, and, in fact, all those who depend upon present profits and employment for lhcii livelihood, experience, universally, a greater reduction both in profits and in wages than ever before, and, consequently distress is far more urgent than in any former panic. Some slight idea ol the necessity of those who come from the country to soil at this market, may be inferred from the fact, that rather than return home without obtaining tome price for. their articles, I have seen the nicest Jersey pork sold for five cents per pound, and Newark pippins of the first order, at a dollar, und even less, a barrel. The rale at which these are sold at stalls are in one instance twice, and i.i the other, tbre imm much.

Those are, il is true, but single instances, but they are of every day's occurrence, and cannot continue any length of lime without ruin, poverty, and even death of starvation to those who havo nothing in store for their support. The slate of political aff.irs is regardod by those who process to be well versed in such mailers here, aa decidedly impro ed of lute. Our reverse in what waa once tho impregnable Bay Stale," is looked upon as a matter ot no moment, being but a local remit, and ono which cannot bo regarded as at all affecting tho political integrity of that State, whenever national polilica shall be introduced. I cannot but hope that these views may be justified by the result, hut fiom my own personal observations, I am somewhat disposed to apprehend that, unle-s our friends there shall be dis. posed to manifest far more union and harmony, to retrace as well as they may bo able the steps they have taken astray, and to merge all minor questions in tho one great question of their country's prosperity, or her continued adversity, and ultimate ruin, we must con.

sent to give up Old Massachusetts for a while lo her worship ol false gods. This result may, however, be easily averted. May the good sense of her people see that it is so. To offset the untowa-d news from the east, the politicians of the commercial metropolis regard tho decision which the "sober third thoughts" of the people of the Empire State hive passed upon the measures of Van Bureu, as decisive of the final success of the Whig party in 1840. No president ever yet succeedod with his own State against him.

Besides this, it is the first, except Rhode Island, decided check fhat hs been given to the Destructives in any of tho full elections. The first, but not the most decisive, except so far aa numbers arc concerned. The peninsular Stale, Michi. gan, the State of Wild Cat Banks, and with a Slate constitution expressly constituted with a view ever to keep il in the polluting folds of ngrarianism, has nobly thrown off her thraldom, and afforded one ol the most signal instances of Ihe triumph of principle and right judgment ever achieved by any people. The gain of a new Whig Slate, with a Whig Governor, a Whig legislature, and a Whig Senator in Congress, for the first time since its organization as a Stale, ia certainly enough to raiso the drooping spirits even of the most forlorn.

Hard Times. Many of the manufacturing estab. I.shme..ts of this city have been compelled within a tew flay, to dischargo a large portion of their work, men, ow.ng to the scarcity of money. One otablish. men alone, we understand, was compelled to dismiss nearly one hundred hands on Saturday last.

The elections in New.Yoik, Massachusetts, and Michigan, having passed over, joining further in that line" remains (o be heard from, except the election of members of Congress in the Slate of Mississippi. This also has lakei. place, the result must be known shortly snd every thing henceforward will be done with reference to the session of Congress. There will be a call for the exercise of some skill and ingenuity in shaping the message so ss to meet the exigencies of the occasion. We presume the President will, among other things, give an interesting account of his summer excursion through the State of New.

York, en bueint of public importance, explaining, his usuul frank and unsophisticated man. ner, the oljecls he had in view in undertaking his three months' tour. As these must be presumed to have been of a public nature, free from all personal and selfish objects, but iinporltnt to the general welfare," we have a right to expect a detailed account of the state ol things on the Canada frontior, the conditioo of the military atationa and garrisons, how far the means of defence are sufficient to repel the marauding incursions of the lawless se. tiers and adventurers on the lines, and the appropriation that will be necessary to place every thing in a secure aituation for tho future. As" the State of Main does not lie in the Slate of New.Yoik, snd as the timo during which the absence of the Executive could conveniently bo absent from his public duties at the seat of government was limited, extending to net quite four months, all of which was required lor the due performance of the dutiea which carried him through the Utter Slate, it is to be presumed ho was not able to extend his journey to the north-eastern boundary of the Union.

And this wii rendered less necessary by the fact, that his Excellency Governor Fairfield had so far exhausted his military talents and spirit, that there was but probability of any serious disturb, ances on the Arooblook du ing the ennuing winter. The Executive attention waa therefore exclusively devoted to tho affairs of his nntivo Slate, tle situation and magnitude of which will probably bo fully diplnyej and dilated upon by the able head of the War Depart, ment. For the message, then, the community must wsit with all due patieuco, until the opening ol the session, which will be in a short time, when tho public curiosity will be abundantly satisfied. Banks. The administration papers keep up a constant attack Uon the Bunks.

Ii would be well those who are encaged in tha warfare, would be so frank and obliging as to say how far they are desirous of going in iheir hostility. Do they propose to make a general sweep, and destroy the whole 7 Or, do they mean to acted a few favorites, that will subserve tho purposes of ihe administration, and content themselves with putting down the others! Whoever undertakes either task, will find himself involved in a much busi. net as ha can well turn his hands to. Adopt, for ex. ample, President Vsn Buren's plan of issuing commis-sions of bankruptcy against the Banks whenever they commit, what is called in law, an act of bankraptcy, take them out of the hands of their officers, and put them under the care of assigned, and then see what the slate of things will be.

Every debt duo to the Bank must be collected without delay, and placed in the hands of the sssignoes, and as far as the means will go, to jay debts. Probably in such hands, Banks which would be perfectly safe under the direetors, would not pay fifty per cent, of their debts, while the stockholders would lose all their property vested in the stock. Thua multitudes of by being crowded, would be ruined, the creditors of Banks subjected to immense losses, and the proprietors of tho capitals total losers.

Yesterday, when the confirmation of the news from Michigan reached him, it absolutely cowered his belter part of man, and left him completely prostrate. Thus the gorgeous East room, which wsa wont to ring with the joyous laugh of its occupants, ia now as still and sombre as a vault. The house is emphatically no longer one of joy.

During a lata discussion ofa bill lo increase the juris, diction of justices of the peace, Ihe member from Tipton, a pettifogger by profession, jumped up and exclaimed. Mr. Speaker, if I wore to legislate for the benefit of the breed of dog to which I belong, I would vote for the passage ot this bill Again by way of amendment to a proposition to close an expensive session of the General Assembly at an early day, the same Representative moved, "That the General Assembly will adjourn tine die when they got ready and rot before, any thing in Bill Turner' resolution to the contrary iiotwilliKtandin."
