ITEMS OF UTTElililGENCE. 



Jfullification about to be J^idlijlcd. The " Enforcing 

 Bill," or the Bill to clothe the President with power to 

 annihilate nullification has passed the Senate of the 

 United States, with but a single dissenting vote, that of 

 Mr. Tyler, of Virginia. 



The NOTION of South Carolina. An Address by the 

 Washington Society of South Carolina to the people of 

 that State, has been published, in which its proved that 

 the price which disunion would cost that would-be inde- 

 pendent principality in time of profound peace, would 

 iiot be less than $1,. 500,000 per annum. Moreover South 

 Carolina, with all these expenditures, would be " placed 

 in a situation to invite hostilities, which would plunge 

 her into further pecuniary difRculties." History will 

 record the notion, but will ever be silent as respects the 

 JYation of South Carolina. 



Fire at Liccrpool. On the nightof the 14th of January, 

 fifteen warehouses, and from 10 to 1 200 bales of cotton, 

 and a large amount of other produce, were destroyed by 

 fire. 



The President's Proclamation, relative to South Caro- 

 lina affairs, has been published in the London papers en- 

 tire, and is highly commended as an able and interesting 

 state paper. 



Oporto was bombarded by Don Miguel, on the 7th of 

 January, and much damaged. 



The affairs of the Turkish Sultan are said tobe on the 

 decline, and a grand battle between his forces, and those 

 of the Pacha, of Egypt, is soon expected, which it is 

 thought will decide the fate of the Turkish Empire. 



Cost of NuUifcation. A southern paper asserts that 

 the late preparation of South Carolina to resist the laws of 

 the Union, and to provide peaceable remedies for non-ex- 

 isting grievances, had already cost that State $428,000 ! 

 And all for nothing but to injure themselves in a ten-fold 

 proportion to any injury they can inflict on the Union. 



A Steam Boat, called the Mediterranean, has lately 

 been built at Pittsburgh, which is said to be the largest, 

 swiftest, perhaps the most beautiful steam boat ever con- 

 structed in America, perhaps in the world. She measures 

 in keel 175 feet ; in beam 30 feet ; depth of hold 10 feet; 

 and carries 5814 tons. The whole cost amounts to a 

 sum a little short of $40,000. 



Woollen Manvfactvres. A report which has been made 

 to the House of Representatives in Pennsylvania by the 

 committee on Agriculture,' states the capital vested in 

 woollen manufactories in the United States at $40,000, 

 000. It estimates the capital directly vested in the 

 growth and manufacture of wool at $145,000,000. 



Plymouth County Agricultural Society. The Trustees 

 of this Society have elected Rev. Joseph Richardson of 

 Hingham, as their first Orator, for the next anniversary, 

 and Dr. Anthony Collamore of Pembroke, as second. 



Debt and Credit. A writer in the Boston Courier pro- 

 poses to abolish getting in debt. He says truly , that the 

 present practice of indiscriminate small credits is the 

 great cause of ruin to thousands. "Falsehood, dishon- 

 esty, extravagance, and intemperance, flourish un- 

 der the system." He docs not suppose that the giv- 

 ing of credit can be wholly dispensed with, but thinks a 

 change can be made which would be of great advantage 

 to the community. Oliver Oakwood said the man who 

 invented a Leger deserved to be hung, in effigy-, with his 

 book dangling at his heels. 



yVew York, Providence and Boston Railroad Company. 

 This company is incorporated by the Legislatures of 

 Rhode Island and Connecticut, for the purpose of con- 

 structing a Rail Road from Providence to Stonington- 

 Long Island Sound, ia cpntinuation of the Boston and 



Providence Rail Road. They were induced to carry it 

 to Stonington, from the fact, tliat the harbor of that place 

 is never closed by ice, as that of Providence sometimes is. 



Chinese skinless Oats. This grain was imported into 

 Holland about 4 years ago from China, it has been since 

 introduced into Ireland, and was brought from thence by 

 Mr. Gibbons, to Cape Breton. It is said to yield 20 

 barrels of 296 pounds each, from an Irish acre of ground ; 

 and can be used without grinding, but is better made 

 into meal. It is in its nature very hardy, and well 

 adapted to the climate, and one bushel is equal to three 

 of tlic common kind, for all purposes that oats are used. 

 It should be sown early in May, and will be ripe the 

 latter end of August. 



Some of the above grain can be had at Mr. Edward 

 Warren's, Halifax, N. S. — Halifax Paper. 



Sagacity of a Horse. A few nights since, a girl in 

 Abercorn street, was passing the end of the house where 

 she lives with a horse and cart, when the horse, ail at 

 once, stopped as if it had seen a bogle. It being quite 

 dark, the girl could see nothing, and though she attempt- 

 ed to urge the horse forward, it would not move a step. 

 The girl dismounted to see what was the matter, and to 

 her surprise, found a man lying drunk straight across 

 the path. As soon as he was removed the horse passed 

 quietly on.. — Paisley Advertiser. 



Mr. Clay's JVeiD Tariff Bill. Mr. Clay has introduced 

 a new Tariffbill,' which contemplates a gradual reduction 

 of the duties on imported goods, and the complete re- 

 duction of the tariff to the revenue standard in Septem- 

 ber, 1842. This bill is opposed by Mr. Webster, and 

 other friends of the present Tariff", and it is thought will 

 not pass at least the present session, nor ever while 

 South Carolina preserves her present menacing attitude. 

 — Albany Argus. 



Gales &■ Seaton, editors of the National Intelligencer, 

 have been elected printers to the House of Representa- 

 tives ot the next Congress. 



A melancholy accident occurred at Bath, on Sunday 

 of last week. A young man by the name of Harding, 

 in sport threw a snow-ball at a young man by the name 

 of Donnell, which hit him on the temple and caused in- 

 stant death. Let this serve as a warning. — Hallowell 

 Paper,
