I cannot breathe it.” “We bare breathed it together a long time,” said the old man. “Come, come.” There was a short silence, during which the two spectators approached the bed. The sickmawdrew the hand of his old fellow prisoner* towards him, and pressing it affectionately between both his own, retailed it in his grasp. “I hope,” he gasped after a while so they bent their ears close over the bed to catch the half formed sounds hurcold blue lips gave vent to. “I hope my merciful Judge will bear in mind my heavy punishment on earth. Twenty years, my friend, twenty years in this hid eous grave. My heart broke when my child died, and I could not even kiss him in his little coffin. My loneliness since then, in all this noise and riot, has been very dreadful. May God forgive me! He has seen my solitary, lingering death.” He folded his hands, and murmuring something more that they could not hear, fell into a sleep; only a sleep at first, for they saw him smile. They whispered together for a little time, and the turnkey stooping over the pillow, drew hastily back. “He has got his discharge,” said the man. He had.

This gallant officer, whose death we an nounced last week, had, it is stated, been indisposed for several weeks, first from erysiepelas, and then dropsy. The fol lowing notice accompanies the annunci ation qf his decease in the New York Commercial Advertiser: Our first knowledge of him as an offic er, was during the “restrictive energies” of Mr. Jefferson. In order to enforce the embargo and non-intercourse laws, an armed brig was built on Lake Ontario, called the Oneida, the command of which was **signeil to Woolsey, then a lieuten ant. lie n««t seen mu«Jv» previous sei on th® ocean, and was engaged in the Tripolitan war, with Decatur and others. He remained in the service for years, and was one of the most ac'” ff and efficient officers during the » with Great Britain, under Commo Jore Chaunocy. Several very gallon* o' l **** 3 wore conducted by him with -gnal success. When the U. St®*' B were building the large ships at <4ackett’s Harbor, Woolsey was sent to bring the anchors, cables and rigging from below. The roads at that day were so bad from Rome to Sackott’s Harbor, as to render their transportation by land, all but impracticable. It was therefore de termined, if possible, to take them in the Durham boats through Wood Creek and Oneida Lake, to Oswego, and thence round, keeping the boats close in shore, to Sackett’s Harbor. Ascertaining, how ever, that his intentions had been discov ered by the enemy through the instru mentality of spies, and that the British commander on Lake Ontario was prepar ed to intercept his boats, Woolsey re- 1 sorted to a stratagem which so far threw Sir James Lucas Yec from off his guard, as well nigh to ensure his success. The voyage from Oswego was commenced j prosperously—Woolsey himself preceding j along the shore by land, and watching their movements. When off the mouth of Salmon river, however, a detachment | of the enemy’s flotilla discovered the boats, which were compelled to put into that harbor for shelter, and the naval! stores were hurried on shore, where the, only armed protection consisted of a com pany of riflemen uuder Major Appleton. A detachment of the enemy entered the harbor in pursuit and landed. By ad vice of Woolsey, and under his own con duct the riflemen were placed in ambush, with directions not to fire until the near ! approach of the enemy. The enemy ad-! v a need unconscious of the ambuscade, I until within a convenient distance, when they were received with a destructive fire In a loud voice Woolsey ordered ‘a charge’ whereupon the riflemen rtisltcd impetuous- i )y forward, with loud cheers and holding j their rifles in the position of charge bay onets. Ihe result was the surrender of 1 the enemy at discretion. They were I commanded bv an officer named Popham i of tbc-Brihsli Navy, and an old acquaint ance of Woolsey’s. As Popham camei forward to surrender ins sword, Woolsey exclaimed, “Why, Popham, what on eartii are yon doing up this creek’” After some indifferent reply, and a survey of Woolsey’s force, Popham observed— “ Well, Wooieey, this is the first time I ever heard of riflemen charging bayonets.” The first attempt of the enemy upon Sackett’s Harbor was repelled by Woolsey with the Oneida brig alone. This affair happened early in the war, Before tire U nited States were prepared to take the lake with a squadron He was also in command at Oswego, where the attack of the>British was so brilliantly repulsed, on which occasion he displayed great skill and btavery. He remained in command of the ma rine at Sackett’s Harbor after the close of the war, we believe, until it was determin ed mutually by England and the United States to dismantle and abandon their ■ships upon those waters. He was then transplanted to the ocean service, in which he lias been actively engaged the greater portion of the time since, having been successively in command of the West India station, Pensacola, and the Brazilian squadron. By his decease the country, and serv-1 ice, have alike reason to deplore the loss of one of its bravest and best men. He was in all respects a true-hearted sailor— bold, fearless and full of stratagem as an officer—frank, free, and noble-hearted as a man—and like most sailors, generous to a fault. He has left a family consist ing of the widow and seven children —one of whom is in the navy, and bears his own name. Few men can be called hence who will leave a wider circle of mourning friends than Meiancthon T. Woolsey. Oi'ranu Outang. An Ourang Ou tang recen?*r f imported in* o Salem, in the barque Governor Endicott, was sold by auction a few days since, by Mr. John Tyler, of Boston, for the sum of 81000. A correspondent of the Boston Courier gives the following description of this re markable animal. This animal which is now in this city, is the only surviving one of tlie three, which were procured on the Island of Borneo, in June of 18:57. They were obtained at the request of several physi cians in this country, who wished to ex amine minutely the structure of the ani mal for the benefit of the medical science. It was the original intention to keep them till an opportunity occurred of sending them to America, but the owner being un der the necessity of taking the tour, brought them with him, hoping that one or more might survive the passage for the gratification of the admirers of nature. They were about one, two and three years old, the last a female, and lately from her native forests, and on that ac count an excellent subject for the purpose. 'Phe other two were very docile, having been some time in the hands of the na tives. They were fed at first on boiled rice, with occasionally pieces of sugar cane; but, on observing their attention, especially that of the wild one, was excit ed by the smell of animal food, they were tried, and found to be Tui.J of it. it be ing supposed that they were exolostv <-ty eaters of vegetable food, they were allow ed th® bones from the table merely to sat isfy them. At one time, howovor, some fowls were placed near, and this same wild animal was almost raving to get to them, and though a man was watching them with a huge cane, she succeeded in biting off a part of the fowl, showing her carniverous propensity even when the flesh was in its raw state. They had pieces of fish occasionally, and salt, but seemed hungry for flesh. In this wav they continued till December, when the wild one began to droop, and about the middle of January died, having eaten no thing for two or more weeks. About six weeks alter, the next largest died iu the same way. Their digestion j bad been bad for some time; and their stomach and bowels became so irritable 1 that they could not take tlie blandest flu -lid except water, paragoric even being al most instantly rejected. The third was evidently going in the same way, when it was commenced giving regularly a small bit ol beef, either boiled or raw. His digestion soon became good, his health improved, and he endured the cold and stormy weather on the coast, and is now apparently as hearty as a buck, and is be coming more and more interesting every day. The description given of an animal of tins kind in the Advertiser of the Slli iust., was doubtless correct, but that was a full grown animal, and this is but a child and its actions are childish. The female adopted it lor her own, and treated it as such, usually sitting with one arm around him, while lie grasped her with both his, and at night they slept each lying in the other's arms. When any thing was seen in his eyes or nose she would suck it out, and with all the affection of a mother would kiss the little one many times a day. The surviving animal, is now in this city, is about two years old, stands two feet high when erect, will drink from a cup, taking it by the handle, will pull off his coat at night, and making his bed will cover himself with a blanket. He is very gentle in his manners when pleasant, though violent when enraged, and will often sit for hours on the floor, amusing himself with his playthings, lie is very affectionate to those who treat him kindly, but to colored persons he mani fests the greatest contempt, and even ha tred. lie is very observing of tilings and actions, is foud ol his clothing, especial ly it the colors are gay. 11c coughs, and sneezes, gapes and hiccoughs, laughs and cries very much like a child about otic year old. He is acknowledged by many to he the greatest curiosity ever ottered to ! the public in this country. Garrick’s Size.

The following capital anecdote of the i late Chas. Matthews, is going the rouncis j of the newspapers, as from a London periodical. It has doubtless been much improved by the Atlantic voyage, and London transplanting, though it read quite as well where it originally appeared, J a year or two since, in tlie“Editor’s Table” , of the Knickerbocker: — TWENTY MINUTES. “When 1 was about leaving Liverpool I for America,” I asked the Yankee Cap- \ tain, as we were lying in the stream, vvliat i detained us, that we were not off?—He, answered, ‘the mail sir.’ I enquired when it: was expected ? ‘ln about twenty minutes,’ was the reply. In an hour or two the mail came on board; and when we had moved hut a little distance, then there was another stop. ‘What is this for?’ said I. ‘We are waiting fora pilot,’ quoth the master. ‘llow long before he will be on board?’ was my next question. ‘ln about twenty minutes,’ was the answer again; and so it was all the way over. If there was a gale, it never was calculated to last more then twenty minutes; that space of time was also the estimated dura tion of calm; and one poor fellow, blue and white with active sea sickness, was told to keep good heart, for it might not last more than twenty minutes! When I arrived at New York, after numerous delays, and had become fairly established at my lodg ings, there comes up a waiter in hot haste, with ‘ Mr Mathews! Mr Matthews! you can’t stay here no longer, sa!’ ‘What’s the matter? the reason? why can’t I!' —’Cause, sa, the Sheriff has issued his sash a rarrar, and the red flag is out of the winder, and they’re gwyn’ to sell out, sir!’—begetting’ away in about twenty minutes!’ And thus,continued Matthews in his fretful, querulous manner,‘was it from the moment I set foot in America. Y ou’d hardly believe it, yet I have just returned from calling to see an old friend, who was very kind to me on my former visit. “Where is Mr. B?” said I to the servant — “lie is dead sir!” “Dead! dead! How long since did he deceased?” “I should think about twenty minutes,sir!” was the answer. In short, concluded the inimitable mimic, “there is nothing that cannot he, and is not done, in the United States, in twenty min utes.” Young Women. There is nearly always something of nature’s own gentili ty in every young woman (except, indeed, when they get together and fall a gigling;) it shames us men to see how much sooner they are polished into conversational shape, than our rough masculine angles.

A suit has been lately decided in the Yazoo Circuit Court, Mississippi, which had its origin during the Lynching fever in 1835, and in which the plaintiff, a sufferer from the mob, has obtained a verdict for dam ages to the amount of fifteen thousand dol lars. According to the account of the case, as published in the Manchester Whig, the plaintiff, Justice Sharkey, was a magis trate it the time of the out-breaking.— • He was a large slaveholder, had lived in the country more than thirty years, and possessed an unblemished reputation; and yet, because this justice was not satisfied as to the guilt of an individual brought before him on the charge of being an ac complice in the anticipated insurrection, the mob took it into their heads he was also implicated, and that the proper mode of proceeding would be to Lynch him al so. This, however, says the Whig, “prov ed a difficult undertaking. The resolute justice, who had acted iu accordance with his oath of office, refused to surrender himself to the assailants, andjiarred his door against them, placing himself in a 1 defensive attitude. Tfie party attacked his house by shooting through the door and windows, and Mr. S., with his wife and children, was exposed to an inces sant fire of rifles, the balls passing through the house in various directions. He, however, had his rifle at hand, and made l good his defence, killing one of the party, although badly wounded by a rifle ball in his left arm. It is stated that his bed, in which lay a young child, was literally shot to pieces, and, by a miracle, the child escaped unhurt.” Under such circumstances, it is highly gratify ing to see that justice, though rath er tardy, has at length been meted out. The attacking party have brought them selves under the necessity of paying such damages as will doubtless make them a little cautious hereafter in executing the mandates of Judge Lynch. [New Or leans Picayune. RESULT OF THE GREAT TROT TING MATCH. Three mile heats—either saddle or harness. The trotting match for 810,000, be tween the two celebrated horses Daniel D. Tompkins and Edwin Forrest, that has created so much interest for weeks in the circles of the-turf, came off over the Hunt ing Park Course on Monday, at 12 o’clock. The day was beautiful; and the great re putation of the horses for their former deeds, drew an immense concourse to the course. The stands were crowded to o verflowing, and throngs of men and car riages lined the enclosed space below. It ts estimated ttiai there were ovei 10,000 people upon the ground, and among them were a great number of strangers, attract ed to our city by this match and the races at Camden. This race presented consid erable betting, and in a variety of ways. Many were inclined to support Forrest, though Tompkins was the general favor ite. Previous to the horses being brought upon the ground, several even bets were made; but after they appeared, 100 on Tompkins to 80, was about the propor tion offered, and few takers. The opin ion was, that Forrest was too heavy, and felt rather too u'ell to make a good trot, without breaking, which opinion was fully confirmed before the close of the race. At the regular hour for starting, the horses were called up by the judges, and went off with au even start, Tompkins having the track. They kept abreast un til near the first quarter, when Forrest passed his competitor about one length, w hich distance he kept round to the scroll, on the first mile ; here Tompkins made a push, and lapped him on the second quar ter of the second mile, which position he kept—now gaining a few feet, then fall ing back—and at the scroll Forrest led him about half a length. Tompkins was now put to it, and on the first quarter of the third mile they were nose to nose; but on turning the angle at the corner, Forrest broke, when Tompkins darted a head several lengths, which start he kept for the next half mile, when the rider of Forrest seeing no chance to make up the gap, merely saved his distance, and Tomp kins came in on a moderate trot, winning the first heat. Time—lst mile, 2m. 40s; 2d mile, 2m. 30s; 3d mile, 2m. 48s; whole heat, Bm. 7s. second heat. 1 ompkins was now the favorite, bv odds of 100 to 10, and few takers; and it was quite evident that Forrest was not his match, at the present time, owing to the high order in which he appeared to be. He was therefore put in harness, in hopes that it would prevent his breaking. After the usual time being allowed, the horses came to the scroll, and Tompkins immediately took the lead, which he kept; and at the turn of the first quarter For rest again broke, when Tompkins left him eight or nine lengths, and continued to- iherso.'gu^p, while Forrest con tinued his breaking, at intervals, and on coming in at the second mile was with drawn, thus giving up the purse, and al lowing Tompkins to trot the third mile at his pleasure.

A tragedy of! a painful and appalling character, was re cently perpetrated in the western part of Alabama. The particulars, as recorded in the Lakeville Express, are somewhat to the following effect: “A voting lady of great personal at tractions, the daughter of a farmer in that neighborhood, had formed an ac quaintance with a youth of wild and dis solute habits, and her parents in conse quence forbade him the house, and ex erted themselves to sever the connection, by providing “Miss Julia Maria” with a steady, middle-aged husband. The squire having performed the ceremony, “the happy couple” set off for their home on the borders of the great prairie, and for six months the lady appeared perfectly reconciled to her lot, and exerted herself to love, honor and obey her liege lord. One morning, as the farmer was return ing home with his rifle and dogs, he met his former rival, who accounted for his sudden appearance saying that he had just returned from New Orleans, where lie had made a rare speculation inTexian lands, and that it was his intention to em igrate to his new property, so soon as he had completed some family arrangements. The unsuspicious husband invited his ) friend to pass a day or two with him, say ing, that although he should be obliged to |go to Lakeville the next day, the other could amuse himself until his return by ! shooting the prairie hens, or fencing in a patch of corn, whichever he pleased. The other consented, and returned to the house with the hospitable farmer. The next day, the young man renewed his in timacy with his former sweetheart, and fi nally succeeded in exacting a promise that she would, the next morning, run away with him. The husband, in the ] meantime, bad gone on a tour to the prai i ries, iu search of game, and was notsus i pected to return for several days. He | bad his misgivings, however; and return j ing home late at night, he was a horrified witness of his own dishonor. Without j attempting to disturb the guilty pair, he fired his house in three different places, | the flames creeping through the upper stories, and encircling the roof of his i once happy home. The wretched wo ! man and her paramour were aroused | from their adulterous dreams by the flames, I and rushed to the windows to save them selves by leaping out, but below stood the infuriated husband with his rifle, and the moment the casement was opened he fired with unerring aim, and they both fell amid the burning ruins. Escape. — Yesterday morning between 5 and 6 o’clock, Thomas Rector, who was convicted a few weeks since in Albany of murder, and who was in the city on vt hab eas corpus before the Supreme Court, now sitting here, for thepurpose of obtain ing anew trial, managed to effect his es cape from prison. It appears that the prisoner was confined in a cell in the upper part of the prison, not under the charge of the keeper of the Bridewell, and in the same range cells where two hoys who had the liberty of the hall, they being employed to clean n bout the building, and their cells were not locked. During the night, the prisoner having managed to get off his irons, wrenched off some boards above the door of his cell, which he afterwards .carefully and noiselessly replaced, lie than locked the doors of the cells where the boys slept and secreted himself in a vacent coll, which was not fastened. In the morning when the turnkey went in to call up the boys, lie looked in the cell occupied by Rector, to see if all was safe, and while so looking was seized from behind by the prisoner who after some struggle pushed him into the vacent cell, and having lock ed the door upon the keeper, he marched °'f—The boys being locked in, could render no assistance, and the prisoner had the start of 8 or 10 minutes before the unfortunate turnkey could make himself heard, and give information of the escape. Officers were then despatched in pursuit of him in every direction, but as yet he remains safe. A reward of 500 dollars is offered for his apprehension. No blame, as far as wc can learn, is attached to the turnkey, lie having been taken entirely unawares, and being a small man, was unable to resist the powerful strength of the prisoner.

Avery daring robbery took place in this city, last Saturday evening, which has been the engrossing subject of conversation since its discovery, early yesterday morning. The Bank of the Metropolis, opposite the State Department, was burglariously entered by some daring and accomplished villains, on Saturday night, as is presumed. By means of a light painter’s ladder, the thieves reached the top of ffie bank portico, which fronts on Fifteenth street. Drawing the ladder after them, they placed it on the portico, and as cended the roof of the bank, crossing the bal ustrade. Descending by the sky-light, and forcing two trap doors, the thieves arrived at the bottom of the stairs, when they cut or forced their way through a panel of a door, which communicates with the bank, and which door was lined with sheet-iron. The aperture in the door through which tho thieves forced themselves into the bank is not more than eight or •line inches wide, and sixteen inches long; it is so narrow that, in forcing themselves through it, one or more of the thieves must have scratched themselves and drawn blood, as marks of it were found on the office towel. With a piece of iron, which appears to have been part of an iron rail,(prob ably taken from the railroad,) the thieves suc ceeded in forcing open the book-safe, in which were deposited two mahogany cases of valua ble jewels, silver spoons, &.C., the property of a gentleman now absent from the city, who had left them in the bank for safe-keeping. The valuable contents of these two cases the thieves took away. They next forced open the door of the Cashier’s apartment, which, though the lock was strong and immovable, they easily entered, as the door side was only made of wood. But the main safe, which is on the right of the Cashier’s room, the thieves were unable to penetrate, as the iroqand stone work of which it is constructed defied all at tempts to force it, on the part of the most de termined and resolute robbers. It is probable that the thieves were at work during the whole of Sunday, when the watchmen of the bank were absent. It seems impossible that they could have succeeded in entering the bank if they had carried on their operations, of forc ing sky-lights, trap-doors, and door-panels, while the watchmen were.pn duty. We un derstand that the value of the jewelry and plate stolen from the bank is very considera ble. A reward of SSOO is offered by the bank Directors for the apprehension of the daring villains who have committed the rnhhery. [National Intelligencer. Baltimore, Saturday morning, 0 o’clock. Dear Sir:—The four mile race yesterday over the Central Course was one of the most brilliant contests which ever took place on the turf, and the time of the first heat throws in the shade that of all other races. For the last two miles Balie Peyton and Duane were near ly lapped, and going at an awtul rate. I have hardly time to do more than give you the re sult of the several miles of the heats: First heat —lst mile, - - 157 J.y 2d, “ - - - 155 1-2 3d, “ - - ]57 4th “ - - - 152 1-2 Time of Ist heat, 7 421-2 Second heat— lst mile, - - 154 1-2 2d “ - - - 1 551-2 3d “ - - - 201 4th “ 207 1-2 Time of 2d heat 7 58 1-2 Balie Peyton was rode by a small boy, wha carried 14 lbs. dea l weight, and who was un>- able to hold him an inch. In the second! mile of the first heat he was forced forty yards ahead of Duane, and, as if to test his fullest powers, was rushed up the hill on the- first quarter of the couise at a tremendous pace; indeed, up this bill he himself was most anxious to make a show. On coming out in the last quarter stretch, Diane closed upon him, and at the distance stind was clearly np, whew Ba lie gathered all Lis strength and came l away from him, beating him out half a length. I never before saw such intense feeling among' the spectators at a race course: you could have heard thy flying of a pigeon over the course during the running of the last mile. Before starting the bets were 100 to 30 andl 40 on Duane* and after the Ist heat, he was taken even against Peyton. The latter had run in the lead for the whole four miles with; almost a slack rein, and was much too he looked ts if he had been stuffed with straw’ the night lafore. An effort was mack by his. backers tr get another hoy upon him, but most unfortunately it was unsuccessful. At the start in the second heat Duane got off twenty yards ahead, and Peyton was let loose affor him as if he were running a quar ter race, and before they got up the hill had taken tlielead, and went down the back-stretch with all sail out At the turn his rider nftx him out on the outside of the track, and Du ane slipped in on the inside, and when they reached the stand was ahead again. Here he comnenced another struggle, and up the hill he *ent, again nearly lapping Duane. At the top he took time to blow a little, and trailed Dukne round to the hill, when W went st b'”i‘ agxm with like success. It was very clear the race was now over, and at the ha’lf mile past Duane was taken strongly in hand, and Fey-ton was hardly disposed to make another rush. The pace now became very slow, and on the quarter-stretch home they were brought canter. They could have run it out in 7 50. It was now evident that Peyton had lost the race, and he was drawn. He is ater rifier, and Duane is the worst sort of a cus tomer to meet with any day. What do you think of them? In great haste—no time to. read over.—[New York Spirit of the Times.
