JUNE 22, 1833. WE have received no later Eu- ropean news during the past week. Death of John Randolph—We have copied into our columns to day, a no- tice of this eccentric genius and dis-
00 47
tinguished statesman. When he enter ed Congress, in ’78 he was the youngest \nd at the time of his death, he was the Odest member of the National Legislature. Tomany of the bad passions which beset
huma‘ nature, he was an utter stranger-F. .
He kmw nothing of envy or malice—he was a was-m friend, and a frank, open and magnanimuus foe. His unrivalled elo- quence—-hls most dangeroUs weapon, sar- casm, which he. was accustomed to weild with unequalled afl'ect, made him an antag. onist on the flOOI'Ot'Congr-ess, not less fear- ful than powerful. The confidence reposed in him by his constituents in early life ‘Va; continued almost without interruption to the close of his life, at the advanced age of sixty-one. If he had faults, he was like other men; his virtues and excellencies should alone be remembered, and he had no common share of them. In the same city and near the same spot, where his
youthful efforts rendered his name conspi- ‘
cuous in the councrls of the nation, bya striking coincidence, he finally terminated his earthly existence.
Mr. Randolph, it is said, has provided ‘
for the EMABCIPATION or ALL 1115 suvrs. He has also made provision for the support
of such of them as are children until they l
are able to take care of themselves—and for the aged and infim during life ——E. De- morrat.
Mr. Jameson, the new Attorney Gene- ral for Upper Canada, arrived at New York in the W'apoleon.
It is stated in a late Quebec Gazette, that one hundred thousand bushels of wheat have been taken out of bond in England, for shipment to Canada, and that proba- bly a larger quantity would be sent; that a large quantity of oats, too, was expected, sufficient to affect the price of the article in that market.
Lieutenant Johnson, of the 66th Regi- ment, for a wager of 400 dollars, under- took lately to walk from Fort George', Upper Canada, to the Eagle Tavern, in. Buffalo, and return—a distance of seventy two miles—in eighteen hours; which {eat he performed in seventeen hours, with ap- parent ease, including crossing the Niagra River from Waterloo to Black Rock. The day was very hot and sultry and the roads were much broken up by the previous hea- vy rains.
Quennc,May, 22.-—The number of ves- ,
sale which had arrived at this date last year was 175. At noon, to-da the num— ber on the Exchange books an reported, was only 59. Very few Emigrants have arrived, and accounts from Ireland say that they will not be as numerous as they have been for the last three or four years.
