On Wednesday morning lul, ns the cars wore about starting from Boston for Providence, tho Eng lishman entered the car nml seated himself nlong side of Mr. Damon, who, from his mnnner and movements, became more satisfied than over thnt all wa* not right with tho stranger, and ho deter mined to satisfy himself whether his suspicion* were just or not. Accordingly, Mr. Dtfmon sue- ceded in detaining the car* nnd despatched a mes senger for officer Coolidge of tiio Boston police, who was soun on tho spot and was directed by Mr. D. to tako tho Englishman iu custody. To tins tho agent of tho lino objected, a* he thought it impossible thoro could be any tiling wrong in a person having so much thannp-nrunceof a gen tleman, and tho officer hesitated whether to at rest him or not, Mr. D. then informed the officer that if there wus any thing wrong iu the matter ho would indemnify him, and insisted ou his taking tho stran ger into custody, which lie finally did. On being questioned tho Englishman said his name was Seaton, and denied having uny baggago with him. A search wn* then made, and a large carpet bag, of grant weight, was found, which was disowned by all the |*assong«r*.

Tho Now York Evening Star—tho Courier, nnd many other “ Whig" papers, stated publicly thnt tj^^uecess nf their pnrtv—the elevation of their candidate to the presidential chair, depended on tho triumph of Mr. Riyes in Virginia. It wm openly admitted that unless the Old Dominion gave a decided majority for Mr. Rives—not an “im practicable" number—that tho hopcBof Mr. Clay were vain. The “ Whigs " were confident qf victory. They hnd no idea of defeat; and, to their mind, Old Vir ginia wns bought and sold to Mr. Clay. Well, what is the result? Mr. Rives is certain ly more distanced in tho Senatorial race than he was before the last trial. Ho now merely exists ns n politician by the sufferance of his former bitter enemies—the “ Whigs." Ho is at their mercy. Never did man fall from such a height as Mr. Rives. • From being ono of the most admired sons of tho democratic party, lie has becomo one of tho most despised, and is even so far gone ns to ho placed beside the nrch-npnstate Talmadoe, ofNcw York— tho greatest political weathercock the Union ever knew. Ho lias nothing to hope for in Virginia, and it i« a question whether he will ho a candidate for the Senate ngniti. He will havo to sell himself, and seal tho bloody contract, ere tho “Whigs” will support him in a body; and then the “ impractica ble*,” tho Conservatives, nnd the Democrats will unite against him, nnd ho is Inst—lost for evor.

Even tiie “ Whig ” papers admit that this is now Mr. Rivej’s unenvied 41 position.” Wo cannot hut ndtnire, howovor, tho tact with which the Star endeavors to got out of tho dilem ma in which its statements havo placed it. Be cause, indeed, a decided mnjority for tho adminis tration lies not been the result of the Virginia contest, it clnims n victory. Now, when it is considered thnf tho “ Whigs " have lost in Congress—in tho Senate —nnd in the House—thnt the Conservative pnrty— Rives men,—have boon cut up to a mere nothing —that the Democrats gained many thousand votes since tho last election, surely tho “ Whig" lendors JUVENILE DEPRAVITY. ^ -Ao confession nf one of the culprits proves that smy cry “give mo hack my legions l" Instead of the disastrous conflagration nt Albany, some time ablurdly shouting victory-! .They havo indeed lost since, wns kindled by three buys, to decide a bet of segars which engine of n certain three would reach tiio fire first.

Tho farmer is invurinbly n politician, and frequently becomes n distinguished man—not, how ever, without n hard straggle with competitors who were nearly his match.
