ingenious device. If we mistake not, his attempts to vifli- fy Col. Young will terminate to his disadvantage. Yea, 40 false are his insinuations, so barren in every thing re sembling candour and liberality, that we fear Mr. Itiggs will Jiave to answer to a tribunal higher in its powers, and ■vriser in its judgm ents, than the one made up of frail hu manity. Canal Damages — Mr. Itiggs, by his silence, admits that he opposed the appropriation which was to pay the dama ges sustained by individuals, by reason of the canal ope rations. So serious a charge we did hope Mr. Riggs would he able to refute ; but he seems to plead guilty. The truth is, Mr. It. carries his politics too far ; his enmity to the canal commissioners has finally made him opposed to the canals. His inconsistencies in this particular are too glaring to require comment.

Smith, of the packet boat Chancellor Kent, informs us that a young lady named Amy Colegrove, from Sardinn, Erie county, put an end to her existence on the night of the 8 th inst. by hanging herself willi a shawl fastened a- round her neck and attached to the top of the door in the ladies’ cabin of said boat. She was not dis covered until morning, when she was found utter ly lifeless, while near\Syracuse. She had for some time shown symptoms of mental derangement, said to be occasioned by some of her friends ob jecting to a contemplated matrimonial union, and she had been sent away, attended by her brother, to prevent her intimated design upon her own life; but she succeeded in eluding the vigilance of her attendant, and finally accomplished the fatal deed.— Palmyra Sentinel. We understand a woman named Jane Livings ton , lately lost her life, while on board of a canal boat, in, consequence of corning in contact with a bridge at Stillwater. She was lying asleep by the side of a hogshead on deck when the acci- Villany . —The Mohawk Herald, published at 1 dent happened. The danger of tier si tuation was Amsterdam, states that on the 12 th instant a Ger- > not discovered until too late, Her head was l.t- man, from Pennsylvania, came over from the ca- 1 era,IJ crushed to pieces. Although a person may nalto that village and applied to some of the \ be Perfe(% sec«l’e wh,1e travelling on the canal, merchants there to have some bills examined, ! Jet to° manJ accidents of this nature occur (amounting to $29) which he said he had just re ceived for a watch from a man on board a canal boat then going east. The bills were 5 ’s of the Orange county bank, 5’s of the Mechanic’s bank, N. Y. 2 ’s of the Geneva bank, and were all pro nounced counterfeit. He then described the man, and a party set off on horseback in pursuit, and in about 7 miles overtook the picket 6 amuei Young, capt. Finland. They hailed the helms man and inquired whether such a man had been on board opposite Amsterdam, and were answer ed in the affirmative. The captain was then in formed of the object of their pursuit, and request ed to lay to for them to come on board. He re turned for answer, that he could not then, but should a short distance below, where he would change horses. Shortly after, the cry of u there he g o e s !” from the passengers, gave notice of his escape. The party on horseback dashed across the canal in pursuit, but being detained a short time to pull down the fence, the fugitive made good his retreat into the woods and evaded pur suit. In ascending the bank of the canal the rogue lost his hat containing his pocket book, in which was about $30 good and $ 7 0 counterfeit money, which was picked up by the captain.— This, very naturally, was claimed by the puisuing party as an indemnity to the honest Dutchman, who is poor and had reluctantly sold his watch to raise some money. But the captain, though of fered aa indemnity against all claimants, by re sponsible persons, refused to relinquish the prize. Such is the substance of the story we learn of the Herald : and if it be true, we know not which to condemn, the counterfeiter or the captain.— Alb. Daily Adv. from sheer carelessness.— ibid.
