4 J3r The following is the rejoinder ot the Lon don Punch to the story started by the Dorrites— Mr. Van Buren’s “ unterrified democracy” ol Rhode Island and Providence Plantations —that the grievous “algerine laws” of that State com pelled women to do military duty: Bkavtt and Bayonets.—The following para graph has been going the round of the papers: “ Wrongs of Woman.— The militia 'law ot Rhode Island does not exempt females Irom performing military duty, and several have been arrested and confined for disobeying the said law.” Now this is a regular Yankee trick. Jona than well knows that among Britons “ the man who,” as Lord William would say, “ would impose his hand upon a female, unless in the expression of cordiality, is a wretch.” It is evi dently, therefore, Jonathan’s idea, that a corps of American Amazons, in the event of a conflict with British troops, would be sure to carry all before them. He calculates that our gallant soldiers would scorn to strike a woman. His Grace the Duke of Wellington, however, will prove more than a match for Jonathan. Steps, we understand, have already been taken, tor the formation of a female battalion auxiliary to the line; and more than one fair sergeant, of a dashing appearance, and in a white uniform, has been seen in various country towns beating up for recruits. Nay, a very buxom young girl, apparently a tnantua maker, thus attired, passed " Punch’s” office yesterday with a drum, follow ed by a long posse of servant maids with their bonnets trimmed with ribbons, indicative ot en listment. The uniform ot these female regi ments is to be of a very showy character; it be ing reasonably supposed that this circumstance will facilitate their formation. That of the young ladies in the “ Revolt of the Harem” has been judiciously selected by the Commander-in- Chief.and Prince Albert, we are informed is devising a new cap to complete it. The battalion is to consist of800; the ranks to be filled principally from single ladies. The married, however, will not be excluded if their husbands will allow them to enlist; which too many, perhaps, will be ready to do. The whole force is to be commanded by Mrs. Major-Gene ral Smith; and the head of the first company will be Mrs. Colonel Jones. One regiment is to consist’of light cavalry, under Colonel Lady Tompkins; and among the names of the other officers, we may confidently announce that of Miss Comet Brown. We ought not, perhaps, to publish this infor mation, as “ Punch” circulates on the other side of the Atlantic; but we do so, to let Jonathan see that we are prepared for him; and we hope that he will take the hint, and not, presuming on the new stratagem of his, go plunging the world in war. When fair meets fair, then will come the, &c.; and if our country-women arflhiot vic torious any way,—“ Punch” has no nose, and will forfeit his cudgel. Volcanic Eruptions at the Sandwich Is lands.—The Auburn Journal has been favoured with the following extract from a letter from the Rev. Titus Coan, dated ' Hilo, (Sandwich Islands,) May 16, 1843. God is not only working wonders in the moral, and civil, but also in the physical world around us. You have heard of the great volcanic erup tion near our station in 1840. Another scene ot a similar kind has recently taken place about the same distance from us, but in a different direc tion, and directly in the rear of our station. On the 10th of January of the psesent year, just at the dawn of day, we discovered a rapid dis gorgement of liquid fire from near the summit of Manna Loa, at an elevation of 14,000 feet above the sea. This eruption increased from day to day, for several weeks, pouring out vast floods of fiery lava, which spread down the sides of the mountain, and flowed off in broad and burning rivers, throwing a terrific glare upon the heavens, and filling those lofty mountain ous regions with a sheet of light. This spectacle continued from week to week, without any abatement, till the molten flood had progressed twenty or thirty miles down the side of the mountain and across a high plain which stretches between the bases of Manna Loa and Manna Kae. It was not till after many weeks that I was able to visit this scene of terror and of sublimity. At length in company with Mr. Paris, the missionary for Kan, (a station south of Hilo,) I made the attempt. We penetrated through a deep forest stretching between Hilo and the mountain, and reached the molten stream as it flowed over those vast and high regions lying at the base of the mountain. Here we were able to approach the fiery stream and dip and cool its burning fluid, as we would approach the bank of a river and drink of its waters. From this we followed the stream to the top of the mountain, and found its source in a vast crater, ami Ist the eternal snows of those wild and heaven-desolated regions. Down the sides of the mountain the lava had now ceased follow upon its surtaee; but it formed for itself a sub terranean duet, at the depth of fifty or one hun dred feet. This duct was encased with vitrifaction as smooth as glass, and down this fearful channel a river of fire was rushing at the -rate of fifteen or twenty miles an hour from the summit to the foot of the mountain. This subterranean stream we saw distinctly through several large aper tures in the side of the mountain,whiletheburn ing flood i ashed fearfully beneath our feet. Our standing above it was like standing upon ice upon a river while the liquid flood flows under your feet. Our visit was attended with peril and inconceivable fatigue, but we never regretted having made it, and we returned deeply affected with the majesty, the sublimity, the power and love of God, who “ looketh on the earth and it trembleth, who toucheth the hills and they amoke,” whose presence melts the hill, and whose look causes the mountain to flow down. A Tale or a Turkey.—As a certain learned Judge in Mexico, some time since, walked one. morning into Court, he thought he would ex amine whether he was in time for business; and feeling for his repeater, found it was not in his pocket. “As usual,” said he to a friend who accom panied him, as he passed through the crowd near the door—“as usual, I have again left my watch at home under my pillow. He went on the bench and thought no more of it. The Court adjourned and he returned home. As scon as he was quietly seated in his parlor, he bethough him of his timepiece, and turning to his wife, requested her to send for it to their chamber. “ But, my dear Judge,” said she, “ I sent it to you three hours ago?” “ Sent it to me, my dear. Certainly not.” “ Unquestionably,” replied the lady, “ and by the person you sent for it I" “ The person I sent tor it!” echoed the Judge. “Precisely, my dear, the very person you sent for it 1 You had not left home more than an hour, when a well dressed man knocked at the door and requested to see me. He brought one of the very finest turkies I ever saw; and said, that on your way to Court you met an Indian with a number of fowls, and having bought this one, quite a bargain, you had given him a couple of reais to bring it home; with the request that I would have it killed, picked, and put to cool, as you intended to invite your brother Judges to a dish of molle with you tomorrow. — And, ‘ Oh! by-the-way Senorita,’ said he, ‘ his excellency, the Judge, requested me to give your self the trouble to go to your chamber and take his watch from under the pillow, where he says he left it, as usual, this morning, and send it to him by me.’ And, of course, mi querido, I did so.” " You did?” said the Judge. “ Certainly,” said the lady. “ Well " replied his Honor, “ all 1 ean say to you, my dear, is, that you are as great a goose as the bird is turkey. You’ve been robbed, madam —the man was a thief—l never sent tor my watch you’ve been imposed on—and, as a ne- cessary consequence, tie confounded watch lost forever!” The trick was a cunning one; and after a laugh, and the restoration ot the Judge’s good humor by a good dinner, it was resolved actual ly to have the turkey for to-morrow’s dinner, and his Honor’s brothers of the bench to enjoy so dear a morsel. Accordingly, after the adjournment of Court next day, they all repaired to his dwelling, with appetites sharpened by the expectation of a rare repast. Scarcely had they entered the sola and ex changed the ordinary salutations, when the lady brofe forth with congratulations to his Honor upon the recovery of the stolen watch! “ How happy am I,” exclaimed she, “ that the villain was apprehended!” . “Apprehended?” said the Judge, with sur prise. , ~ “Yes; and doubtless convicted, too, by this time,” said his wife. “ You are always talking riddles, replied he. “ Explain yourself, my dear. I know nothing of thief, watch, or conviction.” "It can’t be possible that I have been again deceived,” quoth the lady, but this is the story : “About one o’clock today, a pale, and rather interesting young gentleman, dressed in a seedy suit of black, came to the house in great haste, almost out of breath. He said that he was j ust from Court; that he was one of the clerks; that the great villain who had the audacity to steal your Honor’s watch had just been arrest ed; that the evidence was nearly perfect to con vict him; and all that was required to complete it was * the turkey, 1 which must be brought into Court; and for that he had been sent with a por ter by your express orders.” “ And you gave it to him!” “Ol course 1 did—who could have doubted him, or resisted the orders of a Judge?" “ Watch—and turkey—both gone-—pray, what the devil, madam, are we to do for dinner.” —Branlz Mayer’s Mexico. "The Weaker Vessel."— Some years since a man was tried in the Court of Worcester coun ty, Maryland, on a presentment lor assault and battery on his wife. The wife was introduced as witness against him, and he was fined. Judge M., after he had caused the fine to be entered, administered a lecture to the man to this eftect: “The Court hope you will not be brought before them again for a similar offence. You should always bear in mind that the wife is the weaker vessel.” To which admonition, the man re plied, apparently forgetting his position, “ Blast her, if she be the weaker vessel, why does she carry so much sail?” The bench, bar and by standers were convulsed with laughter.— li.it Put. Henrv Clay.—A Locofoco morning paper has received, through one of its exchanges, a rumor that Mr. Clay has written a letter, with drawing his name as a candidate for the Presi dency ! “No other paper has the news,” though thousands of its kin would go frantic with joy could they find the slightest evidence of its truth. They know perfectly well that Mr. Clay could not withdraw if he would, in the face of the whole Whig party throughout the Union, and they know equally well that with him for their leader, their victory is sure. Henry Clay occupies now the noblest position in the world, that of a man who has outlived calumny. He has, in time past, been slandered and villified beyond any other statesman in the Union, ex cept, perhaps, John Quincy Adams; and now, like that pure and venerable man, he is coming forth out of the turnaee, with not even the smell of fire upon his garments. The power of ma lignant and envious slander often endures through the life time of the injured object of it ; great men have often sunk to their graves while their fame was dimmed by these foul vapors, and it has been left to posterity to vindicate their characters, and build grateful altars to the men their fathers stoned to death. Few, indeed, like Mr. Clay, live to see the black clouds which de traction had gathered around their name, roll away and give place,to the sunlight of a na tion’s love. He may well be made proud by the happiness of his fortune. There is not a man of candor and common intelligence, in the ranks either of his friends or foes, who believes in his heart, one of the foul slanders by which personal and party hatred, in times past, have sought to crush him. He stands before the whole nation, a pure, high minded statesman, always ready to give his best energies to the service of his country, and always willing, if need be, to sacrifice himself and his interests for her well-being. Thanks to the returning justice of public sentiment, this sacrifice is no longer needed. Justice to him is now univer sally felt to be the highest justice to the coun try. His election to the Presidency will both make him the best return for a life devoted to the public service, and secure the peace, pros perity and glory of the Union. The Locofocos know that this is true, and 1 they read in the evidences of public opinion, which daily greet their ears, the proof of their own discomfiture. We care not how long they strive to delude themselves with the belief that Mr. Clay will withdraw: for neither in that way nor any other can they postpone dr defeat his triumphant election.— N. Y. Courier <f- Enquirer. They give it up.—A correspondent of the Summit Beacon, writing from Columbus, after describing most admirably the scenes of the 10th of January, as well as those of the Bth, and com paring them, says, in a concluding paragraph : " Mr. Rodolphus Dickinson, Canal Commis sioner, says, if it were not for the Abolitionists, the Whigs would carry the State next tall by 20,000 majority, and that they win carry it, any how. Mr. D.’s prediction will prove true, abo litionists or no abolitionists, if the spirit mani fested among the Whigs from all parts of the State, be any criterion by which to judge. The Whigs were never more determined to carry an election, than at this present moment, and the Locos know it, to their sorrow.” Considering the source from which this ema nates, it is worth considerable, as indicating the onward, irresistible progress of the good cause. —Ohio Jour. iO'By the politeness of one of the Post Office Express Messengers who had just returned from Boston, where he had been with the mail con taining letters, etc. for the steajher, we were fa vored at a late hour last night with the Boston Atlas, from which we learn that Abbott has been elected to Congress from the 3d District by a majority of 63 voets over all others. So the Massachusetts Delegation is now full. The vote stands for Amos Abbott, Whig, 3,930; Os good, Loco, 3,065; scattering, 802. At the Ist January trial Abbott received 3,132; Mausur, 2,464; scattering 892. Whig gain 277. When the messenger left Boston at 2j o’clock on Thursday, fifteen hundred men wete at work endeavoring to clear away the ice, so as to let the Britannia put to sea, but he thought the chances decidedly against her getting off that day, as the ice was supposed to extend some six or seven miles out.— Tribune, Feb. 3. Important Commercial Decision.—The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, under a writ of error from a Court, have decided that the endorsement of a certificate of deposit in Bank is merely the assignment of the same, and does not make the endorser liable for the amount to the holder, in case the Bank or prin cipal should fail to pay; or, in other words, that such an instrument is not negotiable, like a pro missory note or bill of exchange, but is merely assignable, like a bond or other written con tract, other than regular mercantile paper. Lead Minerals.—Some additional discove iesoflead minerals have lately been made near the boundaries of the counties ot Cole, Miller, and Morgan, in Missouri. They promise to be rich and extensive. They are situated on the waters of the Osage, and about the dividing ridge separating the waters of the Osage from the streams falling into the Missouri. This is a rich mineral region, and the indication ot the mineral leads are very numerous. A number ot leads have been work ed to some extent for some time past, but with very little skill or enterprise.— New Era. From the N. V. Tribune. * The Stranger’s Burial.—There is some thing touching in the simple word stranger, but when is added, burial, the deep fountains of the heart are moved. Yesterday morning was a sunny one. Many a buoyant heart, eager to enjoy so rare a boon on a January day, was impelled to improve its early opening, while, perhaps, scarcely one in the multitude was thinking, thatjin many a habi tation or death was there. Calling at a friend’s, my “ good morning” was answered by “We are in trouble here—a young man boarding with us was brought in a corpse, who Monday morning left us cheerful, and in one short hour fell from a loft and was instantly kfiled,” adding, “ he is a stranger —has no kindred this side the Atlantic.” Touched with this recital, I enquired, “ may I see him ?” The coflin was opened—the friend who unclosed it, with all that apparent sympathy which is so common to relatives, began expiating on his goodness, his amiable deportment, &c., saying, as the tear dropped upon his coffin, “he is a stranger in this country—haslivedwithus since the day we came to this house, and while in health, a few days ago enjoined it upon us that he should be buried decently, and not put into Pot ter’s Field.” " He shall be buried decently ; his employer has promised that all shall be properly done.” In a few hours after, the undertaker, clergy man, and a respectable company of citizens, as} sembled, not to sympathize with wife or chil dren, parents, brothers, or sisters, for none were there. He was a stranger. Three thousand miles ot waler separated all who claimed re lationship, and while the silver-haired man of God was admonishing the young to follow the stranger, they, perhaps, light or joyous or busied in life’s cares, were not so much as sending a thought across the deep, were shrouded in the habiliments of death lay him whom they have loved. The narrow box was closed, the he.arse received it, strangers filled the empty coaches, the footmen followed, and the processsion of strangers moved on. Many an eye was moistened; not with re membrances of joyous days of childhood passed, together around the same hearth and table, but because none of those who loved him then, were here to mourn him now. ] [I turned away and thanked God, that as old as is this blasted world, its frosts had not wholly withered every budding of feeling, every putting forth of kindness, for the isolated stranger, even in the world, pursuing, hurried-city ot New York. Yes, thanks to his employer—thanks to the silver-haired clergyman—thanks to the young men—and thanks to the women, who followed him to his long resting-place. A. Important Arrest.—lt will be remembered that in April last the mail made up at Van Bu ren, Arkansas, was robbed on its way to St. Louis, and that a Mr. Kimmel, who mailed on that occasion S2IOO, was shot the same night.— No trace of the depredators could at this time be found, but it fortunately happened that copies of the bills had been taken by Mr. Kimmel and preserved by his friends; and these bills having been recently put into circulation, prompt meas ures were taken to trace them to the issuers. The result has been that Charles Botstord and George Gage have been arrested on the charge ot committing the robbery, the notes having been clearly traced to the possession of Gage.—- Bolsford was deputy postmaster at Fayetteville when the unfortunate Mr. Kimmel mailed the money, and his great intimacy with Gage has led to the suspicion ot his being connected with the robbery. The present charge against the prisoners is for the robbery alone. The murder will doubtless be the subject of a local inquiry. —N, Y. American. The Days op the Prophet Numbered.— George Munday, the hatless individual who promenades our streets, and denominates him self a “ converted thiet” and a prophet, avoids laboring like other people, and obtains an elee mosynary subsistence from the good nature ot the public. George Munday has been robbed at one fell blow of his canonicals. Like Sam son of old, he has met with his Delilah. He was met last Tuesday evening in a state of in toxication by some mischievous boys up Mar ket street, who cut all his,hair and beard off, leaving him in a queer physical condition. He was taken subsequently into an eating saloon, under the Western Hotel, and afterward sent home.—“ Sic transit gloria” "Munday," may now with truth be said, for the “ Voice of the Prophet” will no finger be heard in the market places; and the amazing solecisms of language with which that sheet continued to provoke our cachinations, are numbered,' like last Summer’s pippins, among the things that were.— Phil. Times, 'lTith. A Token op Civilization.—A writer in one of the English papers, arguing against the often asserted notion that the British, sway in India has been benefical to the conquered people, quaintly but forcibly declares that, should the conquerors now abandon the country, the only memorials of their presence they would leave would be the numerous empty bottles scattered > over the empire.— N. Y. Cour. As we Expected.—The “ Anderson (S. C.) Gazette” gives the following account of the es cape of Chandler Brown, the forger. Such an outrage requires no comment to draw down upon the actors the just indignation of every honest man! Are there no laws in Carolina to punish those who compound a felony ? Chandler Brown.—This counterfeiter pass ed through our village in the stage on his way to Charleston, to undergo his trial. We under stand that on Tuesday morning, al Cedar Springs, in Abbeville, through the culpable negligence of the individuals who had him in charge, and were taking him on without a sin gle iron upon his limbs, he escaped and no ef fort whatever was made to recapture him. The full amount of the money was refunded, togeth er with the reward offered by the Charleston Broker, to the individuals who had him in charge, and they said it would be no gratifica tion to them to have him hung. So justice and the gallows are robbed of their legitimate vic tim. Between this and Pendleton they permit ted him on two occasions to get out of the stage alone and leave it fifty yards. When the dri ver at Cedar Springs told the two persons in the stage that Brown was making off, one of them put his head out ot the window and said—“ Go it Brown, save your neck.” There is but little use m hunting up such scoundrels as Brown, if they are thus permit ted to buy their escape. From the N. Y. Courier <f- Enquirer. Canal across the Isthmus op Panama. — We spoke some days since of the various pro positions that had been made for the constiuc tion of a ship canal across the Isthmus of Pan ama, to unite the Atlantic and Pacific oceans; and alluded to the great importance of such a work, especially to the commercial interests of Europe and America. We see by an article in the last number of the Edinburgh Review, that the enterprize has been undertaken in earnest, that the work has been already contracted and the necessary steps taken for its completion.— The writer ol the article quotes from a pamph let recently printed and privately circulated in Great Britain, the following passage: “By a decree, promulgated at Bogota, the 30th of May, 1838, a privilege was granted by the Congress of New Grenada, for opening a communication between the Atlantic and Paci fic oceans, across the Isthmus ol Panama. That the rights under this decree belong solely and exclusively to the house of Augustus Salomon & Co., of Panama, and to the Granadian gov ernment ; and they have the lighl over all such lands as shall be lound necessary for the forma tion of a canal. That it is to be completed in eight years, but may be extended, if it be found that the work has already commenced, which is actually the case, Messrs. Salomon & Co. hav ing caused a survey to be made of the whole line from Chagres to Panama.” The same pamphlet states that an able French Engineer named Morel, has surveyed the line and established the following facts: “1. That the width of the Isthmus of Pana ma, in a direct line, does not exceed 33 miles. 2. That the chain of mountains terminates at this point, and forms a valley, crossed by nu merous streams. 3. That besides these, three rivers can be made available, the Chagres and Trinidad, which flow into the Atlantic, and the Farfan, in the immediate vicinity of Panama. 4. That the Chagres has deep water at its junc tion with the Trinidad. 5 and 6. That the highest point in the line of the canal is 33 feet, and the length of the line not more than twenty four miles.” And it is added, that about 4000 workmen have already been enrolled. It will be remem bered that some weeks since a paragraph was copied from some London paper, stating that the Messrs > Baring had made a contract with the Republic of Granada for the prosecution of the enterprize. This statement was afterwards contradicted, but we find it contained in a report recently made to the Parisian Academy of Sci ence, by the distinguished savan, M. Arago, who added that Granada had ceded to the con tractors the line required, with 80,000 acres of lapdon the two banks, and 400,000 acres more in the interior. It is not impossible, nor under the circumstanceseven unlikely, that the Messrs. Baring are connected with the Panama House of Salomon & Co., in this great work, the cost of which is estimated by the latter at $3,745,000, and the annual profit at $764,618 —being at the rate of about 22 percent. Though these statements do not afford posi tive evidence that the work has been actually undertaken, they give room for the reasonable presumption that an agitation ot the subject has been commenced in financial and commercial circles, and that steps have been taken which must lead to something definite. Gr The following capital hit is from the London Punch. It is part of a sermon on the text “ Poverty.” “As poverty is the lowest, so it is the most impudent of the whole family of vices. Pride is a gentlemanly failing, and sins sweetly and respectably. It smells of civet, and turning its varnished cheek to the sun, walks abroad in pur ple and fine linen. Nay, it rides in a coach and four; and, in hours of penitential castigation, bolts itself into a pew of best upholstery, and in a fit of humility, lasting at least a couple of hours, calls itself a miserable sinner. Hence, pride at its worst, has its good graces. At all events, it never offends that extraordinary ab straction, public decency; lor though we hear much about it, it is, nevertheless, sometimes as difficult to discover as a city policeman. No, pride, being a vice that is well to do in the world, may be called respectable. Pride keeps a barouche! Drunkenness may, or may not, be respectable, according to its education. When we say education, we mean the peculiar bottle it studies. For the drunkenness that ponders over champagne, is a very different vice to the drunkenness that takes libations from pewter quarterns. “ Arrogance is also a vice that also may have its laudation. It rarely consorts with beggars; but is at least, among that suspicious class, the respectable. Covetousness and avarice are cal led vices; for our part, we have ever thought them amongst the very noblest virtues. And so indeed in their heart of hearts, do nine men out of ten think them. And this is what they do; they give them hard names, and then, to make amends for their seeming harshness, take them to their bosoms, in the same way that a foolish mother, when she sees her baby doing all sorts of household misdemeanors, cries, ‘you little wretch,’ and then catches the child in her arms and covers it with kisses. “ There are a lew other vices that may all of them be turned into passable virtues, if found in good company. Lust, cruelty, selfishness, each and all of these may have a pretty alias— another trifling, musical name for the long ears of biped thistle eaters. But there is one vice— and that vice is poverty —which all men declare to be infamous, incorrigible, incapable of amend ment ; a leper, a wretch, a monster, to be con fined in cabins and cellars, or sent, like a scape goat, into the howling wilderness.” The Pavior’s Dog.—Every one will remem ber the fireman’s dog, which for many years was the constant attendant at a fire, let the dis tance have been ever so great. Another in stance, equally extraordinary, of the devoted ness of one ot the canine species to another oc cupation, may be daily witnessed in the neigh borhood of the borough. The commissioners of pavements of the eastern division of South wark have a number of men constantly employ ed in the parishes of Bermondsey, St. John’s, SL Thomas’s, St. Olave’s, &c., and wherever they are will be seen a brown terrier running about the works they are engaged on, and never leaving till they leave. No one knows where he comes from, where he sleeps, or how he ob ta.ins his food, except what he gets from the men, Whose strange companion he has thus been for no I'ess than eight years. He goes regularly to the tttone yard, near the Greenwich railway, abou t five in the morning in summer, but later in wi.nter, and waits till the men go to their work. But if he should have missed them in anyway, he ptoceeds over the district till he meets with them, and then takes his station by the barro w. No other dog dares approach the spot, or a biped the clothes ot the men. When the labor is over he goes away, but no one knows whe re. As a matter of course, he is a great favorite among the men, and from Mr. Hall, the superintendent, having made his pe culiarities kn own, he has become much noticed. —London pap. er. Striking a .Balance.—Curran, when mas ter of the rolls i n Ireland, was going one day to a levee at the castle. There was a great press of carriages, when, all at once he was startled by the pole of the carriage which followed him, crashing through tine back of his. He hastily put his head out oft.be coach window, crying to his coachman; ‘Stoy', stop, the pole of the car riage behind is driven into us’’ ‘Arrah! then its all right again,your honor,’saidPat exulting ly, ‘ for I’ve just druv my pole into the carriage before.’ This, as a sample of an Irish bull, Curran used to eite as perfect. Advertising.—The ma ss of those attempting to do business have a very imperfect notion of the immense advantages of Advertising. Many a man gives a thousand dollars a year for a fa vorable stand, yet grudges a hundred for adver tising ; not reflecting that a hundred men would be made acquainted with his business through the newspapers, where one would pass and ob serve his store, through in the most favorable location. There are a few who understand this matter and are making fortunes, while thousands around them are toiling in like pursuits barely to live, and often failing in that.—.V. Y. Tribune. The Dead of 1843.—Among the distin guished persons who have died the past year, we perceive the name of Robert Southey, La Motte Fouque, author of “ Undine,” Hahnemann, the founderot the Homcnpathic School; Cassimir Delavigne, the French Poet; Foster, the author of valuable essays; Noah Webster, Washing ton Allston, Hugh S. Legare, Clevenger, the Sculptor, Thomson, the founder of the Thomso nian systenj of medicine, and Dr. Channing. Sydney Smith isafacetious fellow. On Bishop Selwyn leaving England for his diocese of Can nibals, in New Zealand, Sydney took leave of him with tears in his eyes, and in these terms : “ Good bye, Belwyn; I hepe you will net dis agree with the maa that eat* you!” Fitz-boodle’s H int to the Ladies.— W hilst ladies persist in maintaining the strictly defen sive condition, men must naturally, as it were, take the <>; posite line, ili.it of attack; otherwise, il both patties held aloof, there would be no more marriages; and the two hosts wou’d die in their respective inactiion, without evercoiningto a battle. Thus it is evident that as the ladies will not, the men must take the offensive. I for my part, have made in the course of my life, at least a score of chivalrous attacks upon several fortified hearts. Sometimes 1 began my work too late in the season, and winter suddenly came and rendered further labors impossible; some times I have attacked the breach madly, sword in hand, and have been plunged violently from the scaling-ladder into the ditch; sometimes I have made a detachment in the place, when— bang! blows up amine, and sometimes when I have been in the very heart of the citadel—ah, that I should say il!—a sudden panic has struck me, and 1 have run like the British out of Car thagena! One grows tired after a while of such perpetual activity. Is it not lime that the ladies should take an innings? Let us widowers and bachelors form an association to declare, that for the next hundred years we will make love no longer. Let the young women make love to us; let them write us verses; let them ask us to dance, get us ices and cups of tea, and help us on with our cloaks at the hall door; and if they’ are eligible, we may perhaps be induced to yield and to say, “La, Miss Hopkins—l really never —I am so agitated—ask papa!”— Frazer’s Mag azine. Matrimonial.-Tlic Paris Journal des Debats for several days published proposals in behalf of a lady, young and well bred, for an opulent and suitably educated protector. In pursuance of this arrangement, numerous missions were addressed, by return of post, to the protegee of the Journal, the authors of which each received an invitation to repair at mid-day on the 4th of December, to a certain part of the Garden of the Palais Royal, with a boquet of violets in hand, there to meet the mysterious lady. Accordingly between noon and one o’clock, there assembled at the appointed spot, upwards of fifty individuals, belonging to the different classes of society:—tops in varnished boots, men of letters, annuitants, bachelors, officers in both services, young men from the compting houses and the schools, advocates, and auditors of the council of state, artisu, &c.,&c, the gray haired, the beardless, and men ot middle age, all wearing in the button-hole or the hand, a beauti ful boquet of violets,symbolical of the most per fect love, i At one o’clock the lady’ had ijot appeared; at half past one the lovers still lingered, but the embers of their hopes were fast expiring; and at two, they had all disappeared. The rivals kept themselves carefully apart from each other, but some of them were observed, previously to their departure, to cast angry glances towards ths windows of a neighboring case, were through a gauze curtain, one could see a bevy of young women, actresses and danc ing girls, mingling with their joyous libations, smothered peals of merriment, which seemed to be addressed to the amorous expectants in th; garden. . Life in London.—The London correspon dent of the New York Post says: The winter assizes have been distinguished by two or three cases of great atrocity. A la bored named Kettleband, was tried for the mur der of his son, but, in consequence of some un accountable jury freak, was only found guilty of manslaughter. A man named Dobson, was found guilty of the murder of his father, by shooting him, and is left lor execution. It ap peared, however, in the trial, that the father had been an execrable character. He persuaded his son to unlist as a soldier, and afterwards to de sert, and then made the knowledge of his se cret available as a means of plundering the son out of the wages that ought to have gone to sup port his family. A lady named Charlotte Blay den has also been tried for throwing her hus band out of the window ! This case, however, belongs rather to the co mic department. The happy couple had been at the wedding of another happy couple, who had induced Mr. and Mrs. Blayden to “ drink deep ere they departed.” On arriving at home the lady began to scold, and the gentlemen, in order to avoid the noise, opened the window, and put forth his head and shoulders, upon which the enraged lady came belind, and catch ing up his legs, shot him into the street! Fortu nately he- was not killed. The good matured blockhead got into the witness box in order to recommend his wife ]to mercy, and convulsed the court with laughter, by prefacing his recom mendation With a history of Mrs. Blayden’s conjugal irregularities! Death of an infamous Character.— An indivi dual died here a short time since who obtained an unenviable celebrity more than 20 years ago. This was the Bishop of Clogher, who was in dicated for an unnatural crime, committed in St James’London, in 1822, forfeited bail, and fled, was degraded from his ecclesiastical dignity and has never been heard of till now. He kept house, under the assumed name of Thomas Wilson, at No. 4, Salisbury place, Edin burgh, to which he removed four years ago, having previously risided in Glasgow. His mode of living was extremely private, scarcely any visiters being known to enter his dwelling, but it was remarked that the post occasionally brought him letters sealed with coronets. His incognito was wonderfully preserved. It was only known to one or two individuals in the neighbourhood, who kept the secret till after his death. The application for interment was made in the name of Thomas Wilson. There was a plate upon the coffin which he had got prepared some years before, but without any name upon it. It bore a Latin incription, the sense of which was as follows :—“ Here lie the remains of a great sinner, saved by grace, whose hope rests in the atoning sacrifice ot the Lord Jesus Christ.” The preperation of this inscription years before shows that he was deeply penitent. He was very anxious to conceal his true name, having got it carefully obliterated from his books and articles of furniture. He gave in struction that his burial should be in the nearest churchyard, that it should be conducted in the mflst private and plain manner, and at 6 in the morning. His directions were complied with, except in the selection of the ground. His body was drawn to the new cemetry in a hearse with one horse, followed bv five mourners in a one horse coach, at 7 in the morning. Such was the obscure aud humble death and funeral of the Hon. and Rev. Percy Jocelyn, the son of a Peer, who spent the early years of his life in the society of the great, and held one of the highest ecclesiastical dignities in the empire. He was uncle to the present Lord Boden-. Edinburg Scotsman. Clippings from the “ Punch” Almanac for 1844.— Note— By a mean temperature is meant the heat paid for by the day, in second floor lodgings. Revoking a will sometimes occurs when the person plays false, and turns out a knave when he should turn out a trump. Sentiment for the 18th.— The Heroes of Wa terloo ; and may the medal thatadoms the breast of valor, never be pledged for less than it’s worth! The general use of iron hurdles for cattle will in all probability, lead to the adoption of steel pens for sheep—Smithfield Club, 1843. Cooks in some establishments are called " artists,” from the excellent manner in vyhich they can draw poultry. Hints for the “ Portrait of a Gentleman’’—As likenesses are generally taken to oblige intimate acquaintances, we should advise any person who is anxious to gratify a large circle of ad mirers, to sit fora portrait of his back, this be ing the most agreeable phase in which a man can appear to his friends. Maxim— Remember that time is money; but that it does not follow- a man is a capitalist who has a great quantity of it on his hands. Domestic— Toast and Watei* is procured m ■the speediest manner by proposing Father Ma thew’s health at the nearest pump. KingofCandytaken prisoner by Gen. Brown rigg—the soldiers ol King Candy affording him no sucker, Gen.,Br<iwririgg4refcr him. Household— A tenant who owes one quarter and knows if he stays another he must pay dou ble before he can be quits, generally quits first. Bituminous Lake.—Perhaps few of our citi zens are aware that there is a small lake situat ed within one hundred miles of Houston, that is quite similar to the Pitch Lake of Trinidad. This singular lake or pond is situated in Jeffer son county, near the road between Liberty and Beaumont, about twenty miles from the latter' village. The lake is formed of bitumen or as phaltum, and is about a quarter of a mile in cir cumference. In the winter months its surface is hard, and capable of sustaining a person. It is generally covered from November to March with water which is sour to the taste. Owing to this cause it is called, by the people in the vi cinity, the sour pond or sour lake. In the sum mer there is a spring near the middle, where an oil liquid (probably pettoleum) continually boils up from the bottom. This liquid gradually hardens after being exposed to the air and forms a black pitch substance similar to that at the sides ofthe lake. Mr. Butlerof Galveston, who has seen the Pitch Lake of Trinidad, examined a piece of the bitumen obtained from this Lake, and says it is precisely like the bitumen ot Trinidad. This bitumen may at some future day become valuable as a substitute for coal in the formation ofthe gas to light cities. It bums when lighted with a clear bright light, butgives out a very pungent odour. The ancients used bitumen as a cement in the construction <?fwalls or buildings. They also used it in many cases as a substitute for tar or pitch. We believe, however, that little use is now made ot it lor these purposes, even where it is. found most abundant— Houston ( Texas') Telegraph. " Why,” said a Tippecanoe song-singer of eighteen hundred and forty, addressing yesterday one who was at that period a fellow melodist of his—“why, , is it a fact that you have turned Democrat?” “ Y-e-e-s,” said half-ashamed to acknowl- edge his political apostacy. “Why, bless me!" said his friend, "what could have been your motive ?” “My motive ?” said ; “Oh, it was a loco- motive, of course!”■— N. O. Pic. The Norfolk Herald says that orders have been receivsn at the Gasport Navy Yard to fit out ike frigate Constitution for the Bast ladies. The True Spiafi'.—Professor Longfellow, in one of his beautify compositions, in speaking ofthe human heart, i-ays: “What I have seen ofthe world, aud, krnwii ol the history of man kind, teaches me ti look upon the errors of others in sorrow, no in anger. When 1 lake the history of one heart, that has sinned and suffered, and represent to myselfthe struggle and temptation id has passed through; the feverish inquietude,of hope and fear; the pres sure of want; the diirtiou of friends; the scorn ofthe world, that has little charity; the desolation ofthe soul’s sanctuary, and threatening vices within; health gone—happiness gone—even hope, that remains longest, gone—l would fain leave theerringsoul ofinyfe low man with Him from whose hands it came.” Alas, for the mighty dead.’ Robert Morris —a name which, wish those of Washington and Greene, and hardly second to any other in dur Revolutionary annals, the nation they founded has been taught to honor —is arraigned before this generation by the money-article writer of the Evening Post” as one “ whose real services may be well questioned, and who kept growing richer and richer as the nation grew poorer.” And this, and much more, issaid ofthe man who pre-eminently furnished the sinews of war— without the aid of whose personal fortune and credit, it is conceded that Gen. Greene could not have maintained himself in South Carolina, and accomplished there his glorious campaign —simply because Greely & McElrath’s Whig Almanac chronicles the historical fact that Ro bert Morris was the projector and founder ofthe old Bank of North America.; and, in connexion therewith, speaks truly ol Mr. Morris’s inappre ciable services io tire cause ot the Revolution. . We have seen many absurd and wicked man ifestations of bank-hating, but never one more absurd or wicked than this desecration of an historical name.— New York American. A Don.—The editor ot the Raleigh (N. C.) Register says, that the following letter was re cently addressed to a debtor of his acquaintance, and may be considered equal almost to “Paddy’s hint." If it did not effect the desired object, it would be of no use, we think, to write again: “Dear Sir, —Do you ever intend to send me my money or apt Ik- do 1 have to look to some other source’ll* iL Isl do, let me know it; tor I want my money at this time, you had better send it this trip—yes, this trip, not the next, but this. I know you don’t want me to put you to any trouble. Well, then, send my money this trip, I say this trip, and not the next; don’t mis take this trip. I cannot stand it any longer, this is the very trip I want my money.” . Bonaparte’s Heart. “ Imperial Caesar, dead, and turned to clay, May stops hole to keep the wind away.” We see a story going the rounds of the news papers, to the following effect: It is well known that the Emperor Napoleon, on his death-bed, requested his attendants, after death, to take out his heart, embalm it, place it in a silver vessel, and present it to the Empress Maria Louisa. This request was complied with —the heart was placed in a vessel of water for the night—and a young English officer sat up to keep watch. In the course of the night, having fallen asleep, he was aroused by a heavy fall and got up just in time to prevent an enormous Norwegian rat from carrying the precious re lic into his hole and making a meal of it. Only think, the heart of Bonaparte eaten by a rat! Wealth of Ohio.—A correspondent of the Cincinnati Chronicle says:—ln Ohio there are 1559 miles of railroads and canals built atacost ol $15,926,328. In Cincinnati there are butch ered about fifty aeres of hogs. It exports also abont the same number ol acres of whiskey ; deep enough to float a canal boat, and owns nineteen-twentieths of 67 steamboats, costing $1,017,000, 11,298 tons, and employing 1,250 hands. The increase of the west is indeed as tonishing. There have been more buildings elected in Cincinnati during the last tour years than there were in 15 years previous. This year there have been built 1003 buildings—736 of which were brick. Speed of an Ice Boat.—The harbor isclos ed up five or six miles out from the city. Yes terday one of the Ice Boats was running over it in everj’ direction—down toward the ’ii«ht-house back to Long Wharf, then up -; nto the Cove and round and about the st jarp'er as she “ dra°-- ged her slow length along” though the Ice—in every direction. It consists of a little triangu lar platform with skahe irons at each corner, the rudder a Iso forming another iron. A little railing, with a stun'll sail constitutes her outfit, and when runnip.g before the wind yesterday and the previo.as day, she would literally fly, outstripping every thing. It was estimated yes terday thgt she ran at the rate of fifty miles an hour, with a brisk breeze' passing over the mir ror, like ice with irresistible velocity. She is easily managed, and when under full headway, can be brought about in as small a compass as a cab can change its course. Ice boats are used on Lake Champlain, fitted up with runners for the ice or water.— New Haven Courier. Snarling.—For a man to enjoy himself, he must take the world as it is, mixed up with a thousand shades and a thousnnd spots of sun shine, a cloud here and there—a bright sky—a storm to-dav, and a calm to-morrow—the chill piercing winds o’ autumn, and the bland, revi ving breath ot summer. He should realize, too, that he is surrounded by individuals of different dispositions and characters, and take the mass as they are, and not as he fancies they ought to be. He should look up to heaven in'gratitude tor what he enjoys, and not censure God for what he has not granted. Then he will cease fretting and snarling, and not before. If there is one character on this earth who deserves the appel lation of the tool more than another, it mustbe that persons who continually frets and snarls, and neversees a moment’s peace, while surroun ded with every thing to please and instruct. Colleagues.—A curious illustration ofthe severance of friendship and society in this vast maze, London, was exhibited a few days since at one ofthe metropolitan police courts. Most persons are aware that the magistrates at these courts relieve each other by taking it week about, or three days in the week each. One day last week, a magistrateofthe semi-hebdom adal regulation, turning to the chief clerk, ask ed “how is Mr. ,” meaning his fellow- magistrate. The clerk replied thai he was very well; upon which the magistrate added, “I am glad to hear it, as I have not seen him, I think, these three years.” It seems verj’ odd that two persons acting as alternate judges week alter week in the same court, should pass three years of their lives without contiguity, contact, or communion: but such is London. Here are two men who pass a great portion of their lives presi ding in the same court,occupying the same bench fulfilling the same function, ministered to by the same officers, surrounded bv the same familiar faces, and yet Three years elapse without even a chance rencontre between them. Yet they are colleagues. More Mormon Difficulties.—We learn that there was quite an excitement at Carthage yesterday, in consequence ofthe arrest of a citi zen of that place, by a posse of Mormons from Nauvoo, on a charge ot bastarly. The citi zens deciare that the individual shall not be tak en to Nauvoo tor trial, and were under arms in his defence. We do not hear that any fighting was done. The excitement ran high, and may yet result in bloodshed.— Warsaw (III.) Message. Captain William Spencer has resigned his command in the Navy. Thecause, as reported, ill health. The vacancy has been filled by promotion. Captain S. was last in command of the Columbus 74. Good Advice.—A modern author of some celebrity, says: “Il thou canst refrain from i lie visits, and suppress the desire of 1 hearing and new thing,’ thou wilt find not onlv abtindiftt leisure, but convenient opnortmiii-'. for useful meditation.” It is the declaration ot Senecarthai “often as he mingled in the com pany of men, he came out of it less a man than he wen: in." Lj'Stmeol the anti-tariff men contend that the burien of impost duties falls upon the pro ducer, vhile the rest insist that it falls upon the consumer. Surely the burden cannot be very terrible if there is so much difficulty in knowing upon Yhose shoulders it presses.— Louisville Jour. Z Cold and Hunger.—The Montreal pap er speak of great distress among the laborersof Lachine, more than two hundred and fifty per sons hxving been found by a committee with out a morsel to eat, and the thermometer at 20 degrees below freezing point. Aged Twins.—lt is stated in the Barre Gazette, that Elisha and Abijah Sibley, twin bt otheis, are now living in the town of Dana, eighty-fiive years old last August. They have long lired within eighty rods of each other. A woman came to a printing office to beg a paper, "because,” said she, “we like to read the newspapers very much, but our neighbors don’t take none." A man named Thomas Huff, formerly a mail contractor and carrier in Indiana, has been ar rested in Louisville, charged with robbing the mail. A school-master advertises, that he will keep a Sunday school, twice a week—on Tuesday and Saturday. The Sandersville Telescope tells that. A meeting of the Stockholders of the Girard Bank ofPhiladelphia was held in that city on Saturday, at which a committee was appointed to consider the course which it w’ould be prudent and just for the stockholders to adopt in the present condition of the affairs of the Bank—the committee to report to an adjourned meeting to beheld on Tuesday next. A distinguished writer says: “There is but one passage in the Bible where the girls are commanded to kiss the men; and that is in .he golden lule, “ Whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye even so to theta.” Coinage of the Mines of Mexico.—Their total coinage from the year 1535 to 1843, is slated by Braaie Mayer to be *2.068.597,948.
