Arkansas, and the latter is on his way to Philadelphia.

COURT OF
INQUIRY - The Court of Inquiry, composed of Col. Archer,
Col. Many, and Capt. Young, which some time since assembled at
Cantonment Towson, for the purpose of investigating the matter in
dispute between the Officers of that post and certain citizens of Miller
County, have recently adjourned sine-die. The result of the
investigation has not been made publicly known, but it is generally
understood, that the officers have been acquitted.

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT - A man by the name of Albert Lothrop, a
brick-mason and plasterer by occupation, who had recently been employed
in this place, was unfortunately drowned in the Arkansas, a few nights
since, in attempting to save the life of a fellow creature, whom he
erroneously thought had fallen overboard. He was descending the river in
a canoe, with several other persons, and in drifting in the night, the
canoe ran on a snag, and came near being capsized. - In the confusion of
the moment, several hats were knocked overboard and he, mistaking
something that was said, jumped over to render assistance to one of his
comrades whom he thought had also fallen overboard. The canoe had become
so entangled with the branches of the tree on which she ran that those
left on board were unable to remove her for some time; and, although the
cries of the drowning man were distinctly heard as the current swept him
down stream, they were unable to render him any assistance, until he had
fallen a sacrifice in one of the noblest causes of humanity - that of
endeavoring to rescue from a watery grave the life of a fellow mortal.
Mr. Lothrop was a native of, and recently from, the western part of the
State of New York, and came to this place, a few weeks since, on board
of the steam-boat Spartan.

For Sale Or To Rent
That Large & Commodious
TAVERN STAND
Situate Near The Bank Of The River In
THE TOWN OF LITTLE ROCK,
And formerly occupied by Isaac Watkins
DURING the past year, the buildings have undergone very considerable
repairs, and a convenient DWELLING-HOUSE has been erected for the
accommodation of the family.
There are also on the premises, a well constructed HORSE-MILL, a large
STABLE, and all the other necessary out-buildings.
This stand is the only eligible one in the town, and would be profitable
employment to any person well calculated to keep a first rate Public
House. The town would supply about twenty-five regular Boarders, and the
transient custom of Tavellers, and of persons attending the sessions of
the Superior and Circuit Courts and the General Assembly, will be very
considerable.
For terms, apply to

MATRIMONIAL MAXIMS - Never marry a rich woman without rank, or a
lady of rank without riches; the former will taunt you with the poverty
you experienced before marriage, and the latter will taunt you with the
poverty you feel after.
If you marry one of a number of sisters, you run some risk of being the
slave of the whole; and if you marry an only daughter, especially if she
be an only child, you are sure to be under the espionage of her waiting
maids, and in nine cases out of every ten, to have a petted and peevish
wife into the bargain.
If you mean to be really a domestic man, never marry an ugly woman.
If your wife be seized with a violent fit of kindness, be very careful
what promises you make while it lasts.
Never, if you can help it, marry the daughter either of a devotee or a
notable; the former will eat you up with black beetles and the latter
will ruin with down right economy.
If you follow your wife's voluntary advice, you have a chance of doing
well; when you ask her for it, it is not half so good.
If you are in business and cannot get your breakfast early enough, walk
out without saying a word; breakfast as heartily as you can at a tavern,
and let the bill be sent home to your wife.
If you would live comfortably, always whistle or laugh while your wife
is scolding.
If you wife boasts much of her relations, praise them, but trust them as
little as you can.
If your wife gets into a fury, take yourself off without staying to
pacify her.

[The following communication is published verbatim from the copy
handed to us by the writer, and is charged for our usual rates of
advertising.]
TO THE PUBLIC
THIS is to certify, that ALEXANDER S. WALKER, as the Administrator of
the estate of John Roberts, one of the heirs of the said Thomas Roberts,
deceased, at the Post of Arkansas, that he, the said Alexander S.
Walker, would on the 1st Monday in July, vacate his Letters of
Administration, which he had obtained from the Pulaski Circuit Court, as
the Administrator of the said Thomas Roberts, deceased; and if I, the
said John Roberts, would attend at Little Rock, on the first Monday in
July, that he would vacate the said Letters of Administration, and
deliver the negroes to James Purtel, that he had taken in his
possession, and claiming the same as the property of the said Thomas
Roberts, deceased, and give them to James Purtel. Then I replied -
Colonel Walker, if you will do so, I will attend there on that day. Then
I farther replied, I live at about six hundred miles distance from that
place, which is within three miles of Boonville, in Cooper County, and
if you should disappoint me, you would very much injure me, for
exclusive of my time it would injure me one hundred dollars, and I now
will depend on your word, Colonel Walker.
Then replied Colonel Alexander S. Walker, that you may depend upon my
word as a gentleman - I will do so, and you may come with the confidence
that I will comply with my word.
Then and there I attended at Little Rock, on the day agreed on by myself
and Colonel Alexander S. Walker, expecting him to vacate his Letters of
Administration agreeable to his word; and when it came to the point of
his act, he, the aforesaid, Alexander S. Walker, required of me a bill
of sale for all my right, title, and interest, in and for the negro boy,
that he, the said Alexander S. Walker, had in his possession, that he
took as the property of Thomas Roberts, deceased, which I believe worth
four hundred dollars, as a compensation for so doing. And if Colonel
Walker denies this statement, I can prove it.
As I am not and inhabitant of this Territory, the public may inquire of
the following gentlemen whether I am a man of candor or not, namely -
James Dennis of Little Rock, Stephen Harris, Samuel Copeland, and Thomas
H. Tindall.
John Roberts
