cents. Three can be made in two days.
A great number of females are employed in
making Mens' and Boys’ Caps. By constant
labor 15 or 18 hours a day they can make from
14 to 25 cents. We are told by an old lady who
has lived by this kind ol work a long time, that
when she begins at sunrise and works till mid-
;Ut she can earn 14 cents a day.
A large majority of these women are Ameri
go born, from the great Middle Class of life,
many of whom have once been in comfortable
and even affluent circumstances, and have been
reduced by (be death or bankruptcy ol husbands
and relatives, and other causes, to such straits.
Many of them are the wives of ship-masters
and other officers of vessels- Others are the
widows of mechanics and poor men, aod have
children, aged mothers and fathers, Ac., to sup
port, by their needle. Manghave drunken hus
bands to add to their burdens and afflictions,
and to darken every faint gleam of sunshine
that domestic affection throws even into the
humblest abode. Others have sick aiid bed-rid
den husbands or children, or perhaps have to
endure the ngony of receiving home a fallen
daughter or an outlawed son suddenly checked
in his career of vice. ,
The manner In which these women live—the
S ualidness and unhealthy location and nature
their habitations—the inadequateness of their
food and clothing—the impossibility of provid
ing for any the slightest rccreatjpn or moral or
intellectual culture, or of educating their chil
dren—can be easily Imagined; but weassurethe
f iublic that it would require an extremely active
magination to conceive the reality.
These.women generally 'keep house’—that is,
they rent a single room, or perhaps two small
rooms, In the upper story ot some poor, ill-con
st rucied/tth ventilated house in a filthy street,
Tonstantlf kept so by the absence of back yard*
and the neglect of the street Inspector—where a
sickening and deadly miasm prevndcs the at
mosphere, and in summer renders it totally un
fit to be inhaled by human lungs, depositing the
seeds of debility nnd disease with every Inspir
ation. In these rooms all the processes of cook
ing, eating, sleeping, washing, working and liv
ing are indiscriminately performed.
‘For these rooms the tenants nevrt- pay less
than three to four and a hnlf dollars per month—
and pay they must and do. Some of the very
worst single garrets, destitute ol close; or con
venience of any kind, and perhaps lighted
oniy by a hole cut in the roof, rent os low as
two dollars n month. Of course every cent ol
the Inmates* earnings Is exhausted ever week,
ond io many cases is not sufficient to buy any
other food than a scanty supply of potatoes ond
Indian meal and molasses for the family.—
When winter comes, therefore, they are desti
tute of the means not only of adding comforta
ble clothing to ibeii' wretched wardrobe*, but of
procuring an ottnee of fuel. Their work, too,
at this season is frequently cut off, and they
are left no rf marce but the Alms-house or a pa u-
per-ticket for bread and roal. Here, too, they
aro too often baolked. TheAlmvhou«e is full
and overrunning—the Public Charities of all
kinds are choking with the fierce assaults of
Shivering and famished Beggary—whnt can
these poor women do 1 IVc are truly told that
when sometimes hunted out by the hand of pri
vate charity they have been found so given
over to hunger and despair ot their repeated re
buffs from the Alravhomc or the overdriven
Commissioners that they had resolved to starve
without further effort. Understand us not os
censoring the directors or distributor* of these
Public Charities. At present we know nothing
but that they do all they can. We shall come
to the facts about them In due time.—Tiibnne,

Alas I for the Republic, and, alas I for the honor
of our State, if such a politician, by such means,
can secure the vote of Georgia.
To Coo* Tomato**.—He that doe* not love
tomatoes is an object of pity. Every art of cook
ing should he employed to inveigle the appe
tite of every man to love a vegetable so whole
some.
Peel a dozen ripe tomatoes,and fry them in
n little sweet butter, (which nine Hoosfers out
often will understand to mean n little clean
lard) together with two or three sliced green
peppers, sprinkle on a little salt; and finally
slice up an onion or two, and let the whole cook
thoroughly. This is the Spanish method of pre
paring them.
Another method, which from long experience
will wear well, is as follows. The directions a re
for a mess of tomatoes amounting to about three
pints when oooked. *
Begin by parboiling two onion*. While this
is doing, peel the tomatoes; which is easily done
after hot water had been poured over them; cut
‘them up and add the onion*; also, a leacnpfall
and a half of bread crumbled fine, a table spoon
full of salt, a heaping lenspoonfull of black pep
per, a lump of butter the size of a turkey’* egg
or about four tablespoonfuls. Beat these tho
roughly together and set them over a slow fire,
gradually to stew. They should cook slowly,
and lor a long time; never le*sthan three hours,
hut the longer the better.- About fifteen minute*
before they are to be used, heat up six eggs and
stir them in, and put them on fresh roals, and
give them one grand boil np, stirring them nil the
time. When so cooked no directions will be
needed bow to eat them.
The art of cooking the tomatoe lie mostly
In cooking them enough. They should be put
to work the first thing after the brerkfast things
are out of the way, even If you do not dine till
three.
Curious Coincidence.—In Pavldson co.(Ten-
Tit* Pilqrim Candidate.—Those persons
who have read the laughable description of the
Standard Bearer," as he entered the classic
city of Athens, and who have contrasted it with
the gold-chain scene in New York, last year,
will not be puzzled to understand the real object
of Mr. McAllister, in his present pilgrimage
to the "Wheat-growing regions." He is, in
plain English, traversing the State in search of
votes. Now, the time has been when such con
duct as this on the part of a candidate for public
office, would have called forth the indignation
of the whole Democratic press, ond exposed the
person guilty of it, to be attacked by the whole
force of the Editorial corps. Few, if any, of
our readers have forgotten the vigorous attacks
which were made upon Mr. Clay do longer
ogo than Iasi year, on this very account. Even
in this city, bis transit was the basis of
some most patriotic bursts from the Democratic
press aud its cot respondents. We will invert
the order of things a little, and give the last of
these precious morsels first. To begin then
with Father Ritcuib himself. The following
from his then paper, the Richmond Enquirer,
we find in Mr. McAllister's organ on the 17th
April, ’44: •
" Pshaw! these shallow devices—and this
preteuee of business, me unworthy of the ge
nius of Henry Clay, instead of advancing his
pretensions, they ouly show that he is unworthy
ol the lolly sialiou ’to which he aspires, l.e
should have remained in "the quiet repose of
Ashland"—and there, If he were really worthy
of honor, the people would have found him, like
Cincinnatus, at tne plough, and thrown the Dic
tator’s mantle over his shoulders. Rut to seek
it, as is now done, and to cover bis real object
under the device of business, is unworthy of
him, and unworthy of the office."
The next article in the reverse order of time,
which strikes us as a little rich, is a communi
cation in Mr. McAllister’s organ, April 3d,
1814. We confess it is not bad doctrine consid
ering its Democratic origin:
"The charge has been made, that Mr. Clay,
a candidate lor the Presidency ol the United
States, is travelling on-on electioneering lour;
an attempt has been inode to refute that charge.
The friends of Mr. Clay, well knew that the
freemen of ibis land, would visit with reproba
tion such a course. The people have been loo
long qccustomcd to regard the Chier Magistra
cy, as mi office that should t>e "neither sought
after nor avoided.” They have been accustom
ed to contemplate the man who, Cincinnatus-
like, would attend to his domestic affairs, until
called from his privacy by the acclaims ol the
people, as Me man to whom the bclin of the ship
of state should be confided, to relish the idea,
that the itincraut politician should be called to
the first office iu their gift, Lleuce the strenuous
efforts of the Whigs to relieve Mr. Clay from
the category in which be is placed. Alter whnt
has transpired within the last few days in this
city, can that gentleman be relieved from the
imputation of itinerating the country, and mak
ing speeches, standing at the same lime before
the people in file attitude of a candidate for the
Presidency^'*
Pursuing oar way along the dusty files of
the organ, we felt rather hurt at finding the fol
lowing, under date of 30th March, copied in a
very racy article from the Charleston Mercury.
The editor says:
"We felt sensibly the degradation to our Re
publican Institutions on Friday last, when we
saw a veteran as Mr. Ciay is, in the servico oi
his country, hawked about as some great beast
of wonder, to catch a few votes for that station
which should be the reward alone of the lofty
Patriot and pure btatesman."
In the organ of March 18th, we again find a
correspondent down upon "Harry of the West,"
on ibis wise:
"When we see n candidate (or one who only
awaits the formal call of his party to be one)
for the Presidency, itinerating the land on the
eve of the election, accepting parly invitations,
what is the necessary intereriee 1 Why, that he
is electioneering. No man of sense belietes that
Mr. Clay’s object is piivale. Every one knows
his journey is connected with other views.—
Now, how stands the case 1 Here is a candid
ate for an exalted station which, in the language
of the aged patriot of the Hermitage, 'should
be neither sought nftcr or avoided,' becoming
an itinerant politician, soliciting by bis pres
ence the 'most sweet voice’ of the people. I*
such conduct to be tolerated 1 Is it dignified 1
Is it sanctioned by precedent! Ought such a
course to receive the countenance of any Re
publican 1 Ought any Democrat, by bis pres
ence, give a sanction to such a procedure! We
have heard in lime* past, of 'travelling Presi
dents’ and ‘travelling Cabinets/ and (although
the charges were then false,) Ilia Federal press
was loud in its denupciatioas of them. But
things arc changed, and hosannas arc now
shouted to the man who, with his eye on the
first office in the Republic, preeeeded by two
travelllr.g political hue sterers, himself comes to
solicit and to conciliate! a people whom he was
ready to crush by detachments of the regular
army of the Union, when those people were
contending for their territorial rights, guaran
tied to them by the solemnities of a treaty."
Now we would like to know what reader can
peruse this paraganph without having bis
thoughts directed instantly to the Attorney Gen
eralship of 1897—to that Utter, which it seems
was written but never sent, and to the tcheat'
grinning speech of 1834, and then back again to
the pilgrim candidate and his broken topped Ba
rouche? "Here is a candidate for an' exalted sta
tion becoralngan itinerant politician,"soliciting
by bis presence the "most sweet voice of the peo
ple." “Is such conduct to be tolerated,” especi
ally by gentlemen who condemned it in Mr.
Clay! "Is it dignified!" "Is It sanctioned by
precedent 1" We trust all those who wish to
understand the true Democratic doctrine on
this point will revert to the above paragraph.
It will enlighten them especially aa to the duty
of voting for itinerating candidates.
But we may be told that these are only ex-
Now this Is what a plain countryman would
call "clinching the nail." Whata parallel may
be drawn between the two men and their ac
tions! When did Mr. McAllister before con
descend to spend his summer in the up-country
of Georgia! If health was his object, why did
he not go to New York, or Federal Massachu
setts, ns has been his custom 1 Could he, in
1834, after accusing the people of the "wheat-
growing regions," with being unsound on the
subject of slavery, hnve pul bis feet in their bor
ders "with head erect." Mr. McAllister goes
now under very "different colours," and is U too
much to suppose that, like Mr. Clay, hi "will
display his tael and talent, In promising offices
to the men, talking flattery to the women, and
kissing children by the score." Is it too much to
suppose that he too, like Mr. Clay, will suffer
from bis former connection with John Quincy
Adams’ administration and that even the "old
cloathes," and "brvken-topped barouche," will not
save him from popular condemnation. If to be
an itinerating candidate in 1844, was sufficient to
call forth such denunciations of Mr. Clay, as we
have presented from the Democratic organ,
what will be said in defence of their own candi
date who has placed himself substantially on
the same predicament! "AlasI for the Re
public, and, alas I for the honor of our Stale, if
such a politician, by such means, can secure
the vote of Georgia."

Complimentary.— 1 The Savannah Georgian,
(says the Chronicle Sentinel,) devotes a col
umn of twatle to our position on the Texas
question, in which the astute editor of that jour
nal, in attempting to charge us with inconsis
tency, manifests either an incompetency to com
prehend why we should yield acquiescence to
the law of the land, or a willul disposition to
misrepresent us. It seems not to have entered
into his enlarged views of patriotism, that we
should not only yield obedience to the const!
tuted authorities of the laud, but manifest a
willingness to support nnd sustain the law by
which Texas was annexed, because forsooth
we have*opposed annexation, without a viola
tion of consistency I We know not what views
the editor entertains of consistency, or indeed,
what, in his opinion, constitutes that jewel, To
our mind, however, it does not amount to a
violation of it, to yield obedience to a law, the
passage of which we have opposed because we
regarded it fraught with evils, particularly to
the South, and indeed, to a greater or less extent
to the Whole Union. We do not, however,
affect to possess the vivid imagination of the
conductor of that organ, not are w« so nccua
tamed to "draw on our fancy for our facts," as
for instance in the following sentence:
"We are well aware that sometime since the
Chronicle & Sentinel headed the information
received of the proceedings in Texat, assenting
to the resolutions of annexation, with a caption
that amounted to 'olorious news,’ or something
of that description."
To this assertion of the Georgian we have but
one reply—it is not true. We entertained no
such feeling and expressed no such sentiment, in
reference to the news, in which the assent of
Texas was announced.
With this brief notice of the Georgian's com
ments on our position we might close, but here
is exhibited in its .article such a marked differ
ence between what the editor affects to admire
in us, and bis practice in the conduct of his
own journal, that we might be regarded as
wanting in courtesy not to notice it particular
ly. In speaking of our course with regard to
the present convare in Georgia, the editor re
marks :
" We are happy to see that this paper (the
Chronicle &. Sentinel) ban scorned the dirty
work which has been done bvsome of its Whig
v.temporaries, it has not filled up its columns
with pitiful slander and humbugs miserably
gotten up. If it has effected no good, it has done
no harm for its cause. If Its pages are not re
plete with Eound arguments, and truthful fact*,
they are not soiled with low abuse, and disgust
ing trash. When the contest Is over, if its Edi
tor will not be able to feel as if he had been
prominent before the people of the State, as the
tupporier of a rotten cause, at least, he will not
be sickened by a retrospect of dirty work, which
can do no good for any party, and must be'a
lasting disgrace to any paper."
For the honor of the press in Georgia, we
should rejoice if, without doing violence to troth,
we could reciprocate the compliment, but (he
daily perusal of the Georgian, which has been
our wont since the commencement oi the can
vass, forbids. And however little the Editor
may thank os for the compliment, candor com
pels us to say, we have seen no paper in Geor
gia, during the present canvas*, In which there
has been *o mirth "dirty work" such "pitiful
slanders," and "humbugs miserably gotten up," so
few "sound arguments," and "truthful facts," or
so much "disgusting trash," that "must be a last
ing disgrace to any paper" as in the Savannah
Georgians and yet that paper affects to admire
the absence of these characteristics in others I
EJpThe steamship John Mckin loft New Or
leans on the evening of the lfith.ttst. for Qal-
veston. "We understand," saya the 'tropic,
"that the Agent of the Government at this port
paid 81,000 to the owners or the McKim to in*
duce them to start her a day in advance of her
usual time. It fa supposed that she carries out
important despateftp.
"The steamship Alabama, we also learn, has
been chartered by the United States Quarter-
master, to convey more Troops, (part of the 7th
Infantry,) to Texas. She is to leave on Wednes-
day next."
American Rail Roads.—The followlog list
of Rail Roads completed and io progress in the
United States, with their length and original
cost, we find in a late number of the "American
Rail Road Journal," and republish as a matter
or general interest. It will be seen that the list
embraces only the Company Rail Roads, and it
is believed to be nearly correct. The aggregate
number of miles is 3,787, nnd the aggregate
cost 8113,908,407. To these should be added
the Columbia (Pa.) Rail Road, 89| mites, cost
84,804,969; aud the Allegheny Portage, 3G|
miles, 81,828,461—making n total of 3,906
miles of Rail in use or nearly completed, the
aggregate cost ol which amounts to 8119,241,-
897. There are now In the United States, in
operation and nearly completed, over 2.000
miles ol Canal, and if we add to these the Rail
Roads recently projected, we shall have nn ag
gregate of more than eight thousand miles of
internal improvements:

of the 15th instant, says: « We were shown the
other day by bis Excellency Gov. Mosely, a
beautiful sample of Sea Island Cotton, the pro
duce of the plantation of R. J. Mays, Esq., of
Madison county. The sample shown us was
as fine an article of this description of Cotton,
as we have ever seen, and pronounced first rate
by competent judges.
" Much of the land in Madison county, we

cultivate it altogether, and succeed admirably.
In Hamilton and Jefferson, we learn it is also
cultivated to some extent, and will in time be
the principal production."

flan, and Statesman, as a proper mark ...
to practice the meanest, the lowest, and the basest
of all arts, the game and archery of calumny, If
the rebuke of "Justfte" is bitter, nnd severely
caustic, U is dcsQrvcd, ond the lash should be ap
plied to all those who stoop so low, as, (when In
want-ot those more honorable) to use the coward
ly weapons of defamation nnd detraction. Why
has Senator Berrien been chosen out for this
low nnd contemptible work! Because he voted
against the joint resolution for the annexation
oi Texas to the United States! Would they
have had him to vote for that measure in viola
tion oi his oath to suppott the Constitution of his
country. It matters not whether it was a viola
tion of that Instrument or not—he believed it to
be so, and so did eight-tenths of the Whig party
in the United Stales. But he has been charged
with being opposed to it upon the ground of
present policy. Suppose It to be true—he was
sustained in this position, by the same eight-
tenth* ofthe Whigs to whom we have alluded.
All of those committed the same treason to the*
country which has been so falsely charged
upon Senator Berrien. The peculiar mode of
annexation is thought to be unconstitutional,
or, the policy of the measure impolitic, nnd
all of them become nt once, according to
Democratic logic, traitors la the Constitution, to
the country, and to the Sindh in particular.
Or, Js Senator Berrien selected ns the object
upon whom the Democratic pres* nnd lenders
can practice these honorable nnd thirilrous art*
of manly opposition, because, he happen* to fa
vor n Tariff lor revenue with Incidental pro
tection ! I* he a traitor for this? If so, whnt
were Washington, nnd Jefferson, Madison,
Monroe nnd Jackson, nil of whom approved a
Tariff of Protection for protection tale l Will
any press, or any man ol the Democratic party
In Georgia deny this statement! They are
challenged to do It! If It I* true, that these rev
olutionary patriots to whom we hnve referred,
did support a Tariff for protection, for open and
avowed protection, whnt will be thought, whnt
ought to Iks thought of those Georgian*, who re
vile nnd slander nn Illustrious Statesman of
their Stale, of whoso tnlents, services, nnd fame,
Georgians should be proud, because he sustains
a modified nnd commendable view of this great
national question, with n view in the protection
of American industry, nnd the prmotlon of’««*
lional prosperity.
Ana, I* not every Whig who thinks with the
Senator, Included‘In the some eategori/ of infamy
oud treason II We nre rejoiced t.i know, thnt
there ore ninny nmong our Democratic friend*
who do not sympathize with such abuse, nnd u ho
can see, that because their neighbors happened
to be opposed to the annexation of Texn*, nnd
to favor a Tariff with incidental protection,
they are therefore, not necessarily the enemies of
the South, or traitor* to their country. Do the
promulgator* of such foul sentiments ihcmselves
believe them! Are they sincere in what they
profess 1
"No; ’tia slander;
Whose edge is sharper than the sword; whoso
tnugue
Outvenoma all the worms of Nile; whose breath
Hides on tho posting winds, and doth belie
All corners of the world."

then enme to the Inst ascent of any danger, and
It was trnly nwftil to see a man attempting to
cllinbnn ovcrhanglngellffnt the distance of 180
feet lYom the bottom of the dreadful abyss that
yawned beneath lilm« while In ascending his
>ark was in some measure downward, and he
had moreover frequently to remove loose stones,
In order to secure a hold for his hand. In making
the first effort either his strength or resolution
failed him, and he returned to the bench nnd
rested. My feelings at this moment were trnly
ndcscrlbable. To see a fellow being poised, as
it were, between heaven and earth, with barely a
possibility of ascent or descent, clinging to the
precarious shrubbery on the side of a lolly pre
cipice, at the base of which I expected every
moment to see him dashed to atoms, produced a
sensation I cannot describe. Some of the more
cautious nnd prudent of the company proposed
sending for ropes by which to draw him up,
which was hardly possible tinder the circum
stances, ns perhaps none of u* had courage suffi
cient to venture down the ravine far enough to
see him on the side where he then was. Never
theless, nfter divesting himself of his bools, and
swinging them around his neck with a hnnd-
kerchict, he made the second effort, in which he
happily succeded, amid our happiest congratu
lations. He was very pale anil in a perfect
tremor when he arrived at the top, from which
he had not entirely recovered before I took my
leave.

American Noaelists.—A correspondent ol
the Nationol Intelligencer, reviewing briefly
the characteristics of American authors, devotes
one number of his series to the Novelists and
Romance writers. The following raeption is
made of the Hon. John P. Kennedy:
"The na'rae of the author of Horse Shoe
Robinson, Swallow Barn, Rob of the Bowl, and
Ciuodlibet, is rarely heard by the lovers of good
literature without a feeling of regret that politics
should have allured from letters one whose
genius and accomplishments fit him so well to
snlne in that field where are won the most en
during as well as the noblest reputations. Mr.
Kennedy is more than any other of his contem
poraries like Washington Irving. He has
much of his graceful expression, quiet humor,
and cheerful philosophy, with more than he of
the constructive faculty. His work* abound in
the best qualities which should distinguish our
American romantic literature, and prove that
the will only is necessary for him to secure a
place among the great authors of our Inn-
guage," '
Burying Alive.—The Baltimore Sun con
tains an article condemnatory of the haste with
which bodies are conveyed to the tomb, in the
course of which a number of testimonies are
adduced in proof of the faetthat burying alive
is much more frequent than the world supposes,
or has any inclination to believe. The evi
dence of a sexton is thus spoken of :—
"We have the testimony of the sexton ol one
or the largest and most respectable congrega
tionsi to this city. He is a man of the most
sterling character, and his word may be re-
1*?« on i? , 8 ulmo ®l confidence. In the course
ol his official duties he has frequently to remove
thecorpsesof the buried persons from their
place ol temporary repose In the public vault,
to be buried In the ground. Ami in doing so|
his custom is to open the coffin and examine tho
corpse. In the course of his ministrations to
the dead, he has discovered that either three or
live bodies, we do not now recollect which is
Die correct number, were turned completely
over on the side—perhaps in one case, the
corpse has been lying breast downward. This
is the experience of a single sexton, and if he
has discovered, say the smallest number, three
upon their sides, how greatly would the number
be increased if all the sextons were in the same
habit, and were to make aJoint report upon the
subject. Surely, the account would be start-
ling of the number burled before life was ex
tinct, if all sextoas were to relate whnt they

Perilous Adventvre—Another Ascent of the
Natural Bridge.—We presume most of our
readers have read the graphic account of the
ascent of the Natural Bridge, in Virginia,
many years ago, hy Col. James LI. Piper, then
n student in Washington College, and at pres
ent a member of the State Senate of Virginia,
hut a* manv persons have regarded the utory n*
fabulous, deeming the achievement absolutely
impossible, it may be necessary to state that
the following account of a second feat of the
kind, is furnished the Lvnchburg Virginian
by an eye witness, who gives the names of nine
gentlemen who also witnessed It.—Baltimore
Republican.
Remarkable Fod—On Saturday, the 26th of
Julv, there being besides myself, several guests
nt the tavern of Mr. Luster, ut the Natural
Bridge, we concluded to walk up and view tltnt
stupendous prodigy of nature, with which
"nought made by human hands can vie"—nnd
accordingly several of us repaired thither, and
after being lost in enchantment for some con
siderable time in gazing up on the far-famed at
tractions, we returned to a small house on the
roadside, between the Bridge and the tavern,
where we were favored with an old paper con
taining an account of the nscenslon or the
Bridge by Mr. Piper many years ago, from the
pen of Dr. Cnruthers. While some of us, en
tirely incredulous, were warmly discussing its
title to credibility, we were suddenly interrupt
ed by the cry, "Some one is climbing the
Bridge!" With the nvldity of men anxious to
maintain their oninion, until convinced of its
falsity by ocular demonstration, we immediate
ly rushed, en masse, to the top of the Bridge,
Mill inwardly doubting the possibility of whnt
the next moment met our astonished *ight—the
ascension of the Bridge) When we arrived
there we found two gentlemen on the Bridge,
who pointed us (o Mr. Shaver, the hero of the
occasion, standing nt the distance of 170 feet
from the ground, on n bench, (as ft is termed,)
apparently too nnrrow to stand upon even with-
out motion. From the testimony of the gentle
men present we learned thnt Mr. Shaver pass
ing by there in the morning, concluded to at
tempt the a*ccn*fon, merely (I suppose) to grat
ify his own curiosity or that of others.
Without any preparation, he immediately
commenced climbing directly under the well
known cedar stomp, about ten or fifteen paces
higher up the stream than the place from whence
Mr. Piper is said to hnva started, nnd Withal a
much more difficult place to ascend, as any one
may ascertain by examination. After going
perpendicularly about thirty feet, he came to a
clump of hushes, where he rested a little and
proceeded on to nnothcr ledge protruding a little
from the main body of the rock; thence directly
up the sleep and rugged ridge lying between the
deep ravins* on each side of the cedar stump,
until he came to the bench, where I first saw
top of the bridge,

hang* tho

Mn. AND Mrs. CAUDI.F. IN TIIR HANDS OF TIIF.
Police.—Our foreign files bring sad Intelligence
for the delighted renders of Mrs. Caudle's Cur
tain Lectures. We learn from our London pa
ne;* that both Mr*. C. and her worse hair hnve
l)cen arrested, exnmlned before Mr. Jnrdine, of
the London Police, nnd Mrs. Caudle commit
ted to prison, from which, moreover, (nnd this
is the saddest part of the whole narrative,! the
entreaties of her beloved anil nffeetlonnle hus
band could not obtain for her the poor boon of
even n temporary releuse.
We may remark that sundry statements have
gone the round* of the press to the effect, that the
lady Mrs. Caudle had no substantive exis
tence, bm was merely n creature of the brain;
nnd ilmt her lectures were never actually de
livered, ns Is nllcdgcd in the reports of those
which hnve found their way into the public
prints. It Is needless to say to those who mny
rend the following report, conrtd from the police
department of the London Times, of July 23d,
that nothing conld be farther Irom the truth.
It seems that Mr. and Mrs. Caudle were
brought before Mr. Jardlne, one of the Justices,
with "qitnrreling nnd creating nn obstruction"
in n public street, nt two o’clock at night, the
hour when Mrs. Cnttdle certainly, to preserve
her reputation as a "powerful pnlilic speaker,”
should hav« l»ccn otherwise engaged. "The
case" any* the Times, "had been deterred, nt
the request of Mr. Caudle, who had a certificate
from Mrs. Caudle's medical attendant, alleging
that she wn* suffering from a sort of mental de
rangement brought on by excessive irritability "
The Times then goes on with Its account of the
proceedings, in the word* following, viz:
On this occasion Mr. Candle ventured, iu hi*
wife’s nfocence, to inform his woiship that his
good Indy "was not always nn angel;" nnd the
proceedings of yesterday afforded n pretty con
clusive demonstration ol the fact.
Long before the case came on Mrs. Caudle
wns heard haranguing her unfortunate partner
in the waiting-room attached to the court, it hav
ing been found irnpo»ib!e to keep her quiet. On
entering the dock she indignantly ordered the
goalcr nqt to lay hi* hand* upon her, and before
any witness had been examined, called upon the
magistrate for permission to address the Court.
It was quite amusing to observe the submissive
hut useless entreaties of Mr. Candle tn Mrs.
Caudle, during the inquiry, to keep the latter
calm.
A constable of the F division stated thnt he
saw Mrs. Caudle, surrounded by several other*,
opposite a public house, having words with her
husband, and, on interfering to prevent an ob
struction ol the way, she behaved with such vio
lence towards him that lie wn* compelled, with
the assistance of another policeman, to conduct
her to the Bow street stntfon. Tho charge
against Mr. Caudle was for interfering on her
behalf.
Mr. Cnttdle was here about to sr.y a word,
but wns instantly stopped by Mrs. Caudle, who
desired him to remain *ilent. Mr. Caudle,
gave wav, ond his wife commenced, In spite of
the interference of the magistrate, who repeat
edly told her thnt the case for the complainant
wn* not finished.
Mrs. Caudle.—Bull insist on speaking be
fore Mr. Caudle, your worship.
The constable said that Mrs. Caudle seemed
'"sir.. Candle.—Tipsy! Grnciou* heavens.
Sir, I nm a most respectable woman, nnd Mr.
Cnuldle has been a most respectable man. It is
true he now' holds a humble situation, but there
was n time when he would have spurned it.
Mr. Car,Jle—Never mind that, now.
Mrs. Caudle.—Now I beg you will not Inter
rupt me, Sir. Please your worship l hnve suf
fered much, very much of Inte from our reduced
position, and on Friday night 1 went into Brydg-
es-street, to see If Mr. Caudle wasn't coming
home, when I heard a woman ask him for half
n crown that ho owed her. Yes, Sir, hnlf a
crown, and I* thnt n respectable thing for a mar
ried man to be found out In doing!
Mr. Caudle again interfered.
Mrs. Cnttdle.—Ah, you may well benshamed
of It. Well, your worship, of course I wns ex
cited, and l told the woman thnt she ought to'be
ashamed of herself; nnd ns n respectable mar
ried woman who had been well brought up,
being now nt the present lime under the doc
tor’s hands, I told Mr. Cnudlc my mind, as I
hnve n right to dft, and always will, your wor
ship. And u’hnt right linn the police to inter
fere between mnn and wife!
Mr. Caudle.—Thai’s enough, my dear:
Mrs. Caudle.—Enough, indeed ; of course it
is, ns yon always say before I hnve spoken n
word. But I never insult any one, your wor
ship, as Mr. Caudle knows, and therefore I can
not bear nn Insult.- But, your worship, Mr.
Caudle mny speak first.
Mr. Caudle observed that, hearing a voice
which he knew to be his wife's, he merely went
out to see whnt wn* the matter.
Mr. Jnrdine.—Are the defendants known !
Mr*. Caudle.—I should think we were, Sir,
nnd If you will allow me to speak, I ——
Mr. Jnrdine.—Do be quint, woman.
Mr*. Caudle.—Very well, Sir, I will be quiet.
As you wont let me speak, of course 1 wont.
But till* I will say—
Mr. Boustand, the clerk.—Will you listen to
the magistrate !
Here some respectably dressed people deposed
* to the peacaldy disposition of Mr. Caudle and
the respectability of Mrs. Cdudle, who it was
stated, suffered from extreme irritability ; and
Mr*. Caudle requested her husband to show the
Court a quantity of hair which she had pulled
from her head that very day.
Mr- Jardlne said that, however respectable
Mr*. Caudle might be, she was evidently an
inveterate talker nnd a most vollent woman.
Mr*. Caudle—A vollent woman !
Mr. Boustand—Don’t interrupt the magis
trate.
Mr. Jnrdine, nfter some further remarks, fined
Mrs.Caudle3/, for assaulting the police nnd crea
ting a disturbance. His worship fined the hus
band li.
Mrs. Caudle was then, with some difficulty,
removed from the dock, declaring that she
would destroy herself in jail nnd thus terminate
her wretched existence. She wished Caudle
good by, forever, and dared him to pay the fine,
and thereby frustrate her intentions, at his
peril.
We envy no mnn hi* perspicacity who can
read this report nnd still persist in believing
Mrs. Caudle’s Curtain Lectures fictitious and
unnnthentic.
The saddest part of this sad story, however, is
yet to come, The Times of the 24ih has the fol
lowing record:
Mr. Francis Caudle, whose lequaclnus belter
half was committed fora month on Tuesday, at
tended to beg a mitigation ofthe fine, In order that -—
confine menu." 1 GOODS.-Junt received
Mr. Jardlne declined Io entertain the applica
tion.
