If the States of this Union are to be degraded in public estimation from their condition of sov ereigns and equal members of this confederacy, and made to bear the same relation to the Fede ral Government that a county does to a State, then the American Revolution was fought in vain, the independence won for tho separate i States has been merged and lost forever, and the- ' people have only changed masters. The des- | potismof old F.ngland could never have become as ruthless as would he the despotism of federal : majorities in this country, eombind upon the log-rollng system against antagonist sections doomed to hopeless minority. The South has always feared consolidation —opposed General Hamilton’s views upon it t in framing the Constitution, and has been unwavering in her polities in favor of State sovereignty, State Rights and Strict Con- : struction. The march of Consolidation and theJ encroachments of Ffdn "sm, haveJbe«WsTeadily fought and beaten ViM*. \fy"lier from the days ot Jefferson to tfe<presei»t time. promises to ho • ic of the new fruits .^-•'ofConstitutional Unionism, as concocted by Messrs. Cobb, Stephens and Toombs at Wash ington City, and introduced into Georgia. Jeffersonian republicanism has received a death’blow among us, if the following doctrines are allowed foothold in the State of Georgia. At a Union meeting iu Dade county, the fol lowing proceedings took place. We publish them in full as we find them in the Columbus E" " (mirer. Union Meeting in Dade. Sept. 2,1851, At a large and respectable meeting of the citi zens of Dado county on this day, Robert M. l’a.- lis was called to the char, and Dr. J. J. Brown acting as secretary. Alter the meeting was duly ' organized, the object ol the meeting was fully and explicity explained by Col. Bob Hawkins. The chair then appointed Frank McKeag, J. Beetnan, Larkin Hendrix, B. L. l’ace, and Hugh 1 McKeag, a committee to draft resolutions. After | retiring a low moments, the committee returned and reported the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted: Resolved. That the county of Dado, as a sover- ! oign comity, in the event that Charles J. McDon ald is elected Governor, and the State should se cede from the Union, will in the exercise of her sovereignty, absolve herself from all connexion < with said State, and annex herself to the State ol Tennessee. On motion, it was requested that the proceed- j jogs of Hits meeting !»o publish- I in the Cuisiil'e Standard The meeting then adjourned. U. M. PARRIS, Ch’ii. Dr. J. J. Bkown, sec'ry. They are introduced as follows by the En quiret: Hurrah foe Dade.—The people of Dade. ! have determined to light the devil with tire, and choke the McDonaldites with their own princi ples. They have resolved in the event Georgia secedes from the Union, to secede from Georgia. They have the same right to secede from the State, that the State has from the Union. So here is distinctly proclaimed the doctrine, and is endorsed by this Union paper, “ A county has us midi right to secede from a State as a State has from the Union.'' 1 This proposition is not original in Dade county. It was asserted by the Southern Banner , (published in the city j where Mr. Cobb resides.) and was taken at the lime as a correct exposition of Air. Cobb's con solidation views. The editor of that paper had read the suppressed letter, and it is presumed, de- ; duced the doctrine from it. Such in fact, is practi cally the result of the coercion doctrine, whether I Mr. Cobb is willing or not to admit that lie meant to assume that position iu his letter. If thirty States have a right to refuse to acknowledge the i independence of a seceding Slate, and to appeal ; to the sword to decide whether she shall be in* j dependent or not, in what respect does the States hold a belter position in the Union than counties in a State. In many respects the position of the States would be more dependent, and with far less reasonable hope of justice and protection. Alien F. Owen. Much of the eloquent denunciation contained in the following editorial from the Savannah Georgian , meets a hearty response from our judg ment and feelings. It contains true American sentiment.-It speaks the voice of a nation whose sense of right and justice, and humanity has been outraged by cold blooded, and shameless official misrepresentation on the part of the President, and by the dastardly recreancy of the A merman Consul to every proper impulse qf manly sym pathy for his unfortunate countrymen so vilely calumniated—so brutally butchered. The,- barbarity and cowardice which kept Owen it, way from the noble Crittenden and his hapiftto comrades, scarcely surpassed in moral atrocity the callousness of heart which kept him aloof from the prison of his countrymen about be ing buried for ten years in the gloomy mines t>f Spain. The force ol' public censure upon Owen should not be broken by the interposition of ollicial nstructions from the President as to how he should deport Iflmself. The President’s pro clamation ,vat> at; atrocious document both as to the rutulesd sjnritjwhich it breathed, and the vile calumny it utb' t against the Cuban liberators. The Consul construed it as placing Iris coun trymen out of the pale of law, even before they had a trial to determine what crime they had j corralled —what law they had violated. They were condemned without trial. But what ingenuity could construe it as placing them out of the pale of humanity. The vilest, the most depraved culprit who 1 ever ended a long career of crime upon the gal- 1 lows, has never been ruled to be so cut off from of his fellow-man, as to be 1111- word of kindness, or a look of eoni code found the or all others dcvolm to |K_; men away 1.0. i, lii.- path of Hfeiai i 'I Me ®reaut C'i'll-• i! !o .i n ■ ■ :V . lil ■’ I'll'n'i Uno 111 ' -l\ <• Bthhis d.praved feelings, and ,Mr. true. him he is. But we 'sorry, iye them capable of approvi A'his course. giiiould be sony to believe thi /e is a singlg/leorgian that is not ready to denounce it as \\iMisgrace to our State, to our country, and to humanity. It is time that the influence which was used to place Mr. Owen in the position he has so signally disgraced, should be set to work for his removal. If he is retained in office, it will prostrate Fillmoreism with the people of Georgia forever. It Cobb, Toombs and Stephens should persist in upholding Fillmoreism with such a load of oblo quy resting on it, they must be inevitably over* I whelmed with it. We have already published the circular of .Mr. Thrasher and the letter which have elicited the comments below. INTELLIGENCE FROM CUBA Mr,. Oh'F.N. No American can read without painful and thril ling interest, the intelligence which we publish from Havana. The circular of Mr. Thrasher, we received from that gentleman, with a request that it should be published. Tiiat and the letter to the New-Orleans Picayune, recite the facts in relation to the confinement, condition, and the sufferings of the captured members of the Lo pez’s brave band. It is not easy to read the letter to the Picayune i without the deepest emotions—partly of satis \ faction partly of shame and indignation. Who : can find words i.n which to condemn the heartless j indifference whichseem to have been manifested ; by the American Consul? Our readers remem- ■ her, that we censured, less seve elv,tha;i others, I his bearing on the occasion of’ lief butchery of j Crittenden’s men. We were Snot disposed lo j • denounce the subordinate, for the crime of his j principal. We felt that the guilt ol their mtu- I der was not that of Mr. Owen, nor enjjftily that : of the Spanish Governor, but of who by j denouncing as adventurers lor ROBIjB vY and I PLUNDER, had given authority to ttvuiia to hang or shoot them. Yes Millard UiM cis not I guiltless of their blood! Fillmore ! claimed them pirates and robbers, 1 surprised that his Consul did not | execution, though we condemned hist^^HßT | indifference. But how stands Mr. Owen now, before the luhlic? How has he borne himself tov\ ids his lelpless. homeless, suffering, imprisone lcouii : trymen—men whose condition and fate aSjealed to him with pathos beyond measure tone™; — | for a word of consolation—for the slightest Vud : ness, —for the smallest attention, —in the niter ! desolation of their hearts and desperatioi oljheir hopes,— and appealed in vain!

His visit to | the prisoners, was to tell them that ‘"the Presi j dent had proclaimed them without the pale of the be , and he could do nothing for them! ' The question is asked, should not efforts ho made to bring about the removal ol an officer so i cjbjtxtioeuble to his countrymen. We say yes— < not however by application to Fillmore —but by the ot ertbrow of the present federal adrninistra | tion which gave him the appointment . —by a rebuke from the people of Georgia to that ad ministration and its supporters—a rebuke to the triumvirate of Toombs. Stephens aud Cobb, by the influence of some, or all of whom, the post was given to Owen. What say the freemen of this State ? What say the voters of this district —of this county—of this city? Are you pre pared to sustain Fillmore’s administration, or anv. party that does sustain it * Are you prepared U. endorse the conduct of Mr. Owen, or of tHe man j who appointed him, or of the men who obtained ! for him the appointment ?

He replied that business required his immediate : return to his residence at Athens. 3tcphc..s or A discussion at P „ , , Vi TT A s’ifield, in Greene county, Hon. U. A. Sr, . i „ „ a, Sihcns .and W. J Vason, Esq., appeared M&t'-GL. .-urn*., , . ‘Sw- Unel ot the Ist inst., ' ; represented as declaring that helloes ..ol desi the position of Unite! States Senator, and A not a ciunfidalo 4-r it. The langiKsArtlo is repoitcd to have used is as follows: 1 shall never boa Senator in Congress, the on ly offices 1 look upon as worthy of my aspirations aie those which are given directly by the people. . 1 have no idea that 1 will ever be even a can didate for Senator. lam sure I never shall be. We had heard it intimated, some time since, that Mr. Toombs wanted the office, and was the man selected by the new coalition to take the place of the Hon. Jno. M. Berrien, in case the Consolidationists carried the Legislature. A few persons of tiiat party arrange matters, in reference lo the disposition of offices, nomi nally at the disposal of the people. But few are let into the secret of these arrangements. JpM 1 - | bly all this was amicably arranged at Washing ton, some months since. We do not undertake to predict how it will turn out. One thing, however, appears to be definitely settled—Judge Berrien is to be displaced, because he has not eu | logized the compromise as wise, liberal and JUST. Quere. If Mr. Allen F. Owen is displaced from the Consulate obtained for him through the influence of Messrs. Toombs, Stephens and Cobb, | what provision will the triumvirate make for j him ! We liave not yet seen as marked a dispo ! sition to repudiate him as has been exhibited in reference to Judge Berrien. For aught that ap i pears, Mr. Owen is ti e least unpopular of the two with the GcmJtituHonal Union dynasty. Uew Tailoring Establishment. We would call attention to the advertisement in this day’s paper of Messrs Farris & Paul, two young men who have commenced business on Broad street, in the store recently occupied by H. I). Newkirk. Mr. Ferris has just returned from the North, with a line stock ot Cloths, Ves tings, Gentlemen's Fixtures, and ready made Clothing. Mr. F. is well known to most of our citizens as one of the best cutters we have among us, and will, no doubt, now that he is in business lor lumself. endeavor to give satisfaction to the patrons of this firm. Mr. Paulis attentive to business and very obliging to custoners. In addition to the above establishment, visitors to our city will find large and well selected stocks of cloths and ready made clothing, at the stores o Messrs. .1. M. Newby & Co. Price & Ingraham Clayton & Bignon, and John Bridges. These houses are so well known, that it is needless for us to say any thing in their favor. The Slave Malinda. —The Washington of Oct. 2d, says : “ This unfortunate wretch, as before stated, was arraigned, tried, and loum guilty, at the late term of our Superior Court of the murder of her mistress. Mrs. Burns, on the 3d of last month. On afternoon she was brought before his Judge Baxter, and received the death, to be executed upon her on Fridv, the 24th day of October inst. Frost. —On Sunday morning last* and agair ; on Monday morning, (says the Griffin Union j of 2d inst.,) we had a light frost in this section It was so light, however, as to do but little harn to the growing cotton. —_— - -- - Wild pigeons have been remarkably nu merous in the region of Plattsburgh, New York, , this season. The roosts of the birds is in a forest, some six miles long and two wide, each tree con- 1 taining from twenty to ’ eighty nests. Compa- j rues of pigeon catchers want out, and have sent j more than one million eight 'hundred thousand birds to the city markets. Sevbff htnjdap! bush els of grain were fed out to them in haitiftg. j i Hauls have been made of 1200 at one time. The j noise made by the birds at their encampment j was so great that persons could not converse five i yards apart. They disappeared on the 17th of j July, taking their flight over the forests North ; i of Vermont, towards Maine. The flight over Plattsburg continue j for several, days, and the poor birds suffered fk n th guns of the cruel. Cn. From llayti. —The schr. Isis, arrived at Bos ton, brings dates from Port an Prince to Septem ber 6th. An English steamer of war was in port, which had previously conveyed the British consul to the Cape, where the Emperor of Hayti now is. Gay times are expected in the capital during the ceremonies of the coronation of the Emperor, which are to take place about Christ mas times. Coffee is scarce and high at Port au Prince. The new crop, which is said to he above the average, has not yet commenced com , ing in. AUGUSTA, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER Early Frost.— We noticed (says the Savan- I nah News of the Ist inst.) the appearance of frost in this city on Saturday night last. A friend informs us that a slight frost fell on Sunday night at Lott’s Creek, Bulloch county. It was not, however, sufficient to injure the vegetation. At the same place on Monday night,-there was a killing frost, by which the cotton, gourd vines, &c. &r., were killed. On the same night, con siderable frost fell at Point Taylor. Isle of Hope, on the seaboard, about nine miles from this city. At 0 o’clock the same morning, the thermometer. in this city, in the open air, stood at 10 degrees; This, we believe, is the first season during thirty years, in which .we have had frost in the month of September. The frost, together with thestorm last month, and the late dry weather, cannot fail to cut off a large portion of the late cotton. The publication of the annual financial state ment of the Austrian Government, which show j ed a deficit of nearly 700,000,000 florins for 1851. I ’52, had caused a panic in the money market of i Vienna. Gold was at a premium of 27 and silver : at 21 per The long anticipated Austrian loan is announced for negotiation, and subscrip tions were to be received from the 9th to the 27th Septemher. The amount is for 85.000.000 florins, about 835,000,000, but the London capi talists were not disposed to embark in the enter prise ; and the loan would, therefore principally be negotiated in Paris, Frankfort, Amsterdam, 'Vienna and Brussels. The steamer Pampero, which lias been made to play so conspicuous a part in the late Cuban expedition, was built in Baltimore, some eigh teen months since, for J. P. Ileiss, Esq. and Lieut. Hunter, of the U. S. Navy. Subsequently, it is said, the latter disposed of his interest in her to the former. The Pampero in the late move ment appeared as the property of L. J. Sigur, Esq., one of the proprietors of the New Orleans; Delta. We now observe in that paper of the I 10th ult.,that Mr. Sigur’s interest in the Deltai had been purchased in June last by Mr. Heiss, ' and the presumption is that the Pampero was ■ taken in payment. From New Brunswick.— We have St. John ' papers to the 25th lilt. There were heavy show- j ers of rain on the 21th, which were very accep- ' table. The drought was beginning to be seri ously felt throughout the Province, no rain of tny consequence having fallen for several weeks.

Not sufficient however to injure the Cotton crops. The crops in the middle portions of the State are represented as being quite un promising. Frost —The Sandersville Georgian of the 30th , ult. says—This hoary visitor made its first appear ance in our County on yesterday morning. It was rather partial, however, as it was seen by byt few of our early risers. It was certainly cold enough for an abundance of it, but the drought wjjich has prevailed for some time, doubtless saved the i farmers from a serious injury in that quarter, j The colton crop has been cut short long since, j j but a heavy fall of frost would seriously affect the pea crop, which by the way is a wonderful help 1 when corn crops are short, as it is believed they ! will be this year. Major John P. Heiss, late of the Washington j Union, has published a letter, denying that he fcLoyvned any interest in the steamer Pampero, or W that he was concerned in getting up the Cuban expedition. The Destruction of Forests by Fire. — The Portland Advertiser, of Wednesday morn- ing, has a letter from Ckerryfield, Me., giving distressing accounts of the spread of fires in the j woods in that vicinity. No less than fifteen different fires were conn- j ted at one time. The inhabitants are occupied a ■ good part of the time in protecting the houses | from destruction. A number of dwellings had been destroyed. The Cutler Company, exten sive owners of forests, will, it is estimated, lose ! $1.30,000, and the losses to individuals will be I very large. The rain of Sunday was not suf ficient to put out the fires, which are still burn ing. Aletter in the Portland Advertiser says that the whole of Hancock county is burned over. The fire has swept over Mount Desert, and de stroyed several houses. Two dwellings in Jonesport had been burned. The dams on the West branch of the Narraguagus were burnt to the bed of the river, and most of the meadow hay on the river was lost. The St. John’s (N. B.) Chronicle of Septem i her 19, remarks.— For the last three days the city has been so completely enveloped in smoke, as almost toex | elude the sight of the sun. The liras are rang ing along shore between this place and St. An drews, several dwellings have been destroyed, as | well as damage done to crops and fences. The Steamers Florida and Brother Jona : than. —These steamers sailed henceon Saturday, 20th inst., and arrived in New York on Tuesday, 23d., the former at 2i, and the latter at 5i o’clock, P. M. The Brother Jonathan ' left nine hours before the Florida, and having arrived three hours after, was therefore beaten 12 hours. The Florida then, having?badly beaten “the fastest steamer in the world,” (vide the Brother Jona than’s adveitisement,) may, we suppose, be con sidered some at going herself .

[Telegraphed for the Baltimore Sun.] Important Fugitive Slave Case—Four Fugitives Ar rested and Delivered to their Owners, &c. Harris ui*rg, Sept. 28, 1851. i One of the most important fugitive slave cases ! that has yet turned up in Pennsylvania, has been disposed of here, in the most summary manner. ! Four alleged fugitive slaves, named John Stou cher, John Bell, Edward Michael, and Fenton Mercer, charged, on oath o! Michael Lentz, pn suspicion of having been participants in the fugi tive slave riot at Christiana, were arrested on , j Friday at Fishersville, in Dauphin county, and j brought to Harrisburg, and committed to prison, i Mr. McAlister,the (J. S. Commissioner, and , James Fox, the District Attorney, admitted the < illegality of the commitment, and immediately , after the discharge of the prisoners er McAlister pointed to them and dedarevfthem in charge of his officers, as fugitive slaves. The U. S. officers then hand-cuffed them in open j court, and conveyed them to the Commissioner’s office, where and examination was held with , closed doors. Several reputable citizens who wefc present during the proceedings, declared in aopen coutt that the manacling of prisoners undff such cir cumstances was an outrage, and Judge Pearson 1 expressed his willingness to arrest the United States officers lor contempt of court if the charge was brought against them. They were yesterday brought before Judge Pearson, on a writ of habeas corpus, when it was | found that there was not the slightest testimony ! to connect them with the Christina outrage, or that they were in that vicinity at the time.— The judge decided the magistrate, who cornmit | ted the defeudents, guilty of the most gross deri lietion of duty in issuing a commitment without j evidence of supposed guilt, and thereupon order ed them all to be discharged. ! tt-appeao,CQuajcting tbe pri- I soners with the Christiana outrage was a mere : pretext to get them committed to the county jail, in order to obtain time to telegraph their alledged owner. ' . j j The examination resulted in the.. being hand : ed over to their owners. Very deep feeling was j engendered in the community, but no violation | of the law occurred. Now York Dr y Goods Market. The Dry Goods 11-porter of Saturday says: j Since our last report the demand for domestic ! dry goods has received a eheck from Ihe failure of I two or three Houses engaged in the manufacture and distribution of goods, and thouah there is no real cause or reason lor alarm, cooAercial confi -1 deuce has been somewhat rp ; As an offset lo this unsettled sta wo. n... gs we have to notice a better feeling in regard to heavy cotton goods, and an advance of 1-4 cent in prices from second hands. Agents now re alise 0 1-2 cents readily, and very favorite styles are engaged ahead, the price to be settled at the time of delivery. -q^. For Woolens the New York hardly so good, but the drought, which Ws ex tended over the whole producing region, must have materially lessened tbe production of all descriptions, 'l ids however, is more perceptible in Satinets, Tweeds, Sheep’s Greys and Fancy Casimeres. In the two last issues of the Reporter we have advised a decline in the demand for Foreign Dry Goods from first hands, and the existence of an active determination among Jobbers to coutiue their purchases to quantities barely sufficient to meet immediate requirements. This determination has been so rigidly adhered to, that in many instances we find heavy mer chants, who in former years were wont to pur ! chase “lines” of favorite styles, now contenting themselves with half packages of the most desi rable. . The receipts during the week have been about 1 the same as last season, but the quantity thrown upon the market aggregates $158,327 less than during the same period in 1819. Should the present prospects tor receipts be realized, the im portations ot Dry Goods will, at the close of the «' .season, exhibit a tailing off of $2,000,009 a $3,- 000,000. Our accounts from Europe are to the 1 lth inst. The shipments at that time were very small, and i radually decreasing. [From (lie N. O. Picayune , 25</i ult. [ Later from Mexico.

The Chamber of Deputies, on motion ot va » rious members, had called on the Secretary ot ) War for information relative to the conduct of i.

The storm has had little or no effect, on the Sea Island crops of this State, which the planters tell me will be much larger than last year, as in some places twice the quantity of land is planted; indeed, I am assured that there is more made than can be picked. On the extreme seaboard of Georgia and coast of Florida, they have suffered somewhat by the gale of the 24th August last, but they say not materially—the weather is fine for picking and maturing the fruit.” Oak Place, Miss., Sept. 26, 1851. ‘‘Our crops are not altogether flourishing.— Some plantations have suffered from drought ; some are finer, and producing more abundantly than ever before.

I think, on the whole, I shall do better than last year, and if the present fine weather continues until 15th Octo ber, I shall secure at least one-third more t han I expect now. From what I have seen of the crops generally, I should suppose the aggregate crop will much exceed that of last year’s ; we are all dqiug better, but not as welt as we once expected, for had my high land had timely rains, I should probably have found it difficult to have gathered all in time for preparing it, and the land for another year.

A lemonless Irishman was observed one eve ning, slicing a potato into his hot whiskey toddy. 11 Why, what are you about 1” inquired Char ley. “It’s punch Pm making, dear,” quietly replied Pat. “And what are you slicing that in for i” “To give it a flavor, honey.” “What ? a potato flavor ?” “Sure, and isn’t a flavor a flavor, whether it’s lemon or pitaty ?” Reading tho Will of the Mercenary Lover. This morning I received a nolo from my affi anced bride, Constance Graham, requesting me to attend at two o’clock'that day at the house ot her late undo in Ilariey street, for the purpose of hearing his will read. I had the greatest pleas ure in complying with this invitation. Though Constance is the prettiest and most amiable girl of my acquaintance, I had determined never to rnarry while her Hncle lived; he had frequently proclaimed her his heiress, but as ficquently took offence at something or at nothing in her beha viour, and bequeathed his wealth to a hospital, prison, or lunatic asylum. 1 felt, quite easy on the present occasion, lor Mrs. Bates, Mr. Gra ham’s housekeeper, had given me information that, only an hour before her master’s death, he had told her he had handsomely provided for Constance. I felt however, that it was my po licy to appear ignorant of that circumstance, Constance being very romantic, and Constance’s mother Very suspicious. At the appointed lime I walked into the draw ing room in Harley street; the very few relatives ot the old gentleman assembled.—There was Constance, looking as Hebe might have looked, if ever Hebe had worn crape and bombazine, Constance’s mother looking very stiff, cross, and uneasy; an elderly female cousin, and a stripling nephew of the deceased. I feared none of them. 1 knew that Mr. Graham disliked his line lady sister-in-law, despised the servility of his elderly cousin, and dreaded the frolics of his stripling nephew. I seated myself by Constance, and in a solt tone began to protest my affection and disinterestedness. “Knowing the caprice of your uncle, my beloved,” I said, “1 have every reason to conclude that I shall hear you are disinherit ed: this, however, will be of little moment to me; f have enough for comfort, though not for luxury, and as the song beautifully says:— “Still fixed in my heart bo it never forgot, That the wealth oflho cottage is love.’ “I fancy, Mr. Chilton,” said Constance’s mother, looking excessively sneering and shrew ish, “that it ispietty well known that iny daugh ter is the sole heiress of her uncle’s wealth.” “Indeed, madam?” 1 replied, with a start of surprise. “I was not aware that any surmise was hazarded concerning the contents of Mr. Graham’s will.” “1 have heard a surmise hazarded,” sharply interrupted the elderly cousin, “that Mr. Graham Was not in his senses when lie made it.” “The mind must be both base and week,” re torted Constance’s mother, “which could give Credence to such a rumor.” Ami forthwith a •sparring dialogue took place between the two ladies, during which 1 whispered to Constance a page of Moore’s jioetry done into prose. Temple now entered the room, the solicitor and intimate friend of the late Mr. Graham; he was a handsome young man, and had presumed at one time to lift his eyes to Constance; he opened the will, and we all became mutely at tentive. Oh, what a disappointment awaited us ! Three thousand pounds were bequeathed to Constance, (this was the old fellow's idea of a handsome provision!) Five hundred pounds to the elderly cousin, ditto to the stripling nephew, small legacies to the servants, and the remainder of his wealth to found a cold water establishment for the reception of those who were not rich enough to pay a giatuity for being half drowned. —Temple read the name of the attesting wit ness, and then refreshed himself with sherry and biscuits. As he was a friend of the family, his presence was no restraint on conversation. “That will ought to be disputed,” said Con stance’s mother, looking very red, “1 do not be lieve Mr. Graham was in his senses, when he made itl” “1 thought,” said the elderly cousin, with a sneer, “that the mind must be both base and weak which could give credence to such a surmise.” “Dear mamma!” said Constance, “do not be discomposed; I am very well contented—l shall not Vie quite a portionless bride.” Constance here held out her delicate white hand tome—l affected not to see it. “My dear Miss Graham." I said, “do not be lieve me so cruel a id selfish as to wish to plunge you into poverty.” “I thought you said that your income was suf ficient for every comfort,” remarked the strip ling nephew. 1 did not condescend to answer him, but con tinued: “No, Constance, though it breaks my heart to do so. I give you back your freedom, saying, in tiro pathetic words of Haynes Bayley, ‘May your lot in life be iiappy, undisturbed by thoughts of me!’ I was just making to the door, leaving Constance lo«king mote like Niobe than llebe, when Temple said, ’I think the party bad better remain till I have read the codicil.” _ I reseated myself in amaze, and Temple forth with read, that the testator, being convinced that lie had received no benefit from tiie cold water system, revoked and rescinded his legacy to it, bequeathing the same to his beloved niece, Cou stance Graham. “Constance! dear Constant*.* 1 . ’ I exclaimed, I in the softest ol tones. But Constance looked i neither like Ilche lior Niobe, bul as stern and i scveie as Medea. I ihen attacked Temple. “Is it legal,” 1 said, “only to read part ol a will?” “I read every word of the will,” lie replied, “and. having greatly fatigued myself by so doing, I trust that it was perlectiy legal to refresh my self with a glass ol sherry before I read the codi cil.” I was going to utter some further remarks, when Constance’s mother said: “Good morning Mr. Chilton!” in a toneol voice which left me no alternative but to echo her leave taking, and I descended the stairs, pursued by a laugh from the party in the drawing-room, returned home in very low spirits, and entered my adventure, or rather misadventure, in my diary, deducing from it this very valuable piece of advice to gentle men in search of fortune: “Never believe that a will is concluded till you have inquired whether there is any codicil to it.” The Happy Family in Hyde Park. Showman (Albert Price) Loquitur: Walk in, .walk in, ladies and gentlemen, and see ibe in terestin’ spectacle ol the united and happy fami ly, showing the wanderful power of human in telligence in subduin’ the ferocious and sanguin ary disposil ins of the liauimal creation. Here you behold ’em livin’ together in peace and armony, like so many industrious bees in a glass ’ive; witch celebrity hedifice was designed a purpose for 'em, by that remarkable talented in diwidgal, Mr. Joseph l’axton. Fust and iour most, in a central situation, you see that mag nanimous quadruped,,the British lion, a lookin’ round about him with a complacent expression of countenance, him being on the best of terms both with hisself and everybody lielse, and feel in’ perfectly satisfied in ins own mind that he is “monarch ol ail ho surveys. ’ Right over agin that noble hanimal, you observe the Gallie cock, between which creatures there lias been suppos ed to exist a natural henmity; but this is a • wul garviror. The courageous bird has now quitted his position, and strutted right in between the pors of the lion, which, though naturaljy a carni veious hanimal, is now, you perceive, 'a-eutin' a loaf of bread, made, I may remark, out of Free trade corn. The cock is pecking crumbs out of the lion’s mouth; witch the generous quadruped no ways begrudges, secin’ as how he is blest with an abundance, and can well afford to bear the small trille. Not far from this humble hexibition of Irater nity, you see the Koossian bear, tiibtdously re ported to have no bo.flf.'s—sP*circumstance dis proved by his remarkable gentleness of disposi tion ami appeite lor plum padding; and there can be little doubt that tis to the salutary change in his diet, he is indebted for the wonderlul improve ment of his temper. In the immediate neigh borhood of the bear of Roosha, you Iw'old the Haustrian and Prooshan heagles, a-billiu like a pair of turtle-doves, and it is probable they would be cooin’ too, but that, owing to a natural im pediment in the construction of the wind-pipe, they are unable to manage. Here is a remarka ble fine specimen ol a London terrier. The lit tle hanimal under his nose is a Hanoverrat. There you have a splendid Spanish bull; a good deal more at home where lie is, I warrant you, than he would be in the hampytheayter at Madrid. There also is a Roman hanimal of the same spe cies, with a brace of British bull-dogs fast asleep alongside of him: may he never go further and fare wus! On the right is the royal Bengal tiger, whose native ferocity has been so completely conker’ll that he is avin’ a game of leapfrog with the Swiss shammy. On the left, the great In dian elephant is amusin’ hissclf by feedin’ the Chinese pig with gingerbread nuts. That large black-lookingEbird yonder, is J the Danish raven; he has got a Turkey pullet under his wing. Yonder snug little friendly party is composed of the rhinoceros and Hippotamus from Hafrica, the Egyptian crocodile, the haligator from the New World, and tiie kangeroo from the Hanti podes. To judge by their actions, they're en gaged in cheerful conversation, arter their fash ion, amongst theirselves; and there's no doubt whatever but wluit they understand each other perfectly well. Eastwards in an elewated situ ation, wery conspicuos, you view a gigantic bird of a rapacious order, which is the famous Ameri can bald eagle, with a bag of breadstuff's in bis daws and a holive branch in his beak, which is the hemblems of that peace and plenty which reigns among the members of this happy and united family.
