* *3 ‘.veng«s. The motives lending to this enlns* roptte are of the most singular, as well as in- e xplicable character; and the facts that define its bloody outline, being too unnatural for re* »lity, present a scene of horror which iu the distance of recoding and fading events, will pass into the region of fiction, aud will finally belong to the tales of fancy. It has been elsewhere justly said, that “ll one man had any how slain another, if an ad versary had killed his opposcr, or a woman oc casioned the death of her enemy, even these «riminals would have been capitally punished." II'it, what must be the character of that crime, : where it is perpetrated upon a woman and in fant; the first confiding, the other helpless?— Where that woman is a mother and that infant her child? where that mother and infant are the wife and child of the murderer, and where that murderer disclaims all malice, and profes ses to have been directed by a principle every way opposed to the feelings of hatred! A principle which he had resolved at one time, should he his ruling passion in death, and which nothing hut death should control. I have mentioned these things, by no means to assail or harrow up your feelings, but to remind you that if these obj ects were so dear to you that the idea of leaving or losing them became in tolerable to you, how much should you be con cerned in being prepared to meet them, where the miserable inquietudes of human life, that so disastrously robbed you of them here, will never again disturb that possession of them which certainly awaits your repentant suppli cations. In a few weeks the end which you sought to put to your own existence, will be inevita bly accomplished by the more sure ami steady arm of the law, and you will have to meet the very wife and child you have so suddenly hur ried from time, afid on account of whom, doubt less, you have undergone the keenest suffer ings. You may yet meet these dear objects of your misfortune, these innocent victims of your infatuation, these unconscious instruments of your infamy, under circumstances that may change your despair into hope, your grief into smiles, and your despondency intojuy. Hut this can only be effected by seizing, and that without delay, those consolations which chris tianity is forever tendering to every shade and degree of human delinquency. The outspread and extended arms of mercy, as known thro’ the proffers of our holy religion, are co-exfen s-vc with thr* widest range of guilt. It can not be too gnoat for its charity; it cannot be too broad for its^benevedance; it cannot be too deep for its power, too distrustful for its sincerity, nor too dejected for its solace. As you have but a short time to live, and must live out that brief remnant utterly excluded from every hope of forgiveness here, let me beseech you, by all your hopes of future happiness, by all your wishes to embrace once more your wife and child, by every consideration which can induce you to have the stain of murder washed from your hands, seek to be forgrven. where it will not only be full and free, but where it will come crowned with the most unmixod and enduring to submit to [he "disfranchisement” which the retention of office might impose, or, in other words, that he might be at full liberty to pur sue his "ulterior” operations for the Presiden tial chair. The Prsident we are told, request cd Messrs. Ingham and Branch to resign—and that was done, we presume, to prevent their continuance in office from being construed into a victory over Mr. V.an Burcn. Be this as it may, however, there can be no doubt that the Calhoun correspondence, and the occurrences which grew out of it, constitute ihetrue origin, and genuine explanation, of the recent resigna tions; in all of which we see nothing to regret, except the loss of Mr. Ingham, than whom the President never had a better or sincerer friend, nor the Treasury Department a more practical, able, and indefatigable head. The new cabi net has not yet been officially made known.' and, therefore, we may be permitted to hope that it will be more generally acceptable than the last *" ' ‘ .. ..« » M. Van Burcn, (he Secretary of State, was at the bottom of the whole transaction. To stifle investigation and free inquiry upon the subject, and to divert public attention from the able ex positions of the editor of the U. S. Telegraph, a general war of abuse has been opened against him, by the presses of the country %vho bask in the sunshine of the Secretary’s patronage. From the Albany Evening Journal, of May 5. We are waiting, with folded arms, lor the reasons which induced Mr Van Buren to re sign. Will nobody tell the gaping world why our illustrious fellow-citizen has abandoned a station which he was filling with so much ho nor to himself, and usefulness to the country ? Why has thi3 virtuous Republican—a states man “»or iliy of the best days of Rome” made <t gap in ihe Government which no other person c<pi fill ? \Ve are told, from high sources, that he has acted with "devoted nianuniinify,” and Duke of Gloucester is deeply: impressed with a sense of the danger which the country .would incur hy adopting Earl Grey’s Benthamite con stilution. The Queen is also known to enter tain a very natural antipathy to it. The assertion made in relation fo the senti mentc-flhe King, has been flatly contradicted by the Courier. Some discontent is expressed in London at the delay of the Reform question, till the ICih April. We trust that the lessons of experi- * ibat be will now become “ still more endeared ence will not be thrfivvn away,-but that the Pro- j l ^ ie democracy o•£ his native State.” We are sident, remembering the dangers be has past, i native democrats of New York—proud of her will avoid ‘he causes of fuiure discord and patriotism, and jealous of her honor. VVe are ' ready to throw up our cap and shout huzza, avoid # he collision, by placing men in power who arc entirely uncommitted upon the question of successorship, and who, devoting themselves faithfully to their duties, scrupulously abstain from using the influence of office to promote the views of political aspirants. The question of successorship belongs wholly to the people —they will dispose of it as they please—and any administration which attempts to influence after the manner of the times, if any body will condescend to tell whnt it is for ? We want a reason; and though apparently "thick Us black berries ,” nobody condescends to give them, either voluntarily, or oh eomnulsinn*' either voluntarily, or ** on compulsion.” We have perused, Hnd re-perused, forwards and backwards, Mr. Van Puren’s letter, but to no purpose, lor each reading increases (he puz- or dictate upon this subject, will assuredly It as incomprehensible as Governor only injure itself without benefiitting the in<li■ [Throop’s Thanksgiving Ploclamation.

FROM THE CHARLESTON MERCURY. j The Richmond Enqtlir r lauds Mr Van Bu. j ren’s retirement as an act of voluntary self sa- j crdice, reflecting the highest honor on himself and entitled to the warmest gratitude arid ap probation of ilie country. Now, wo apprehend that this “peace offering,” as the Enquirer calls it, was anv thing but voluntary, in the repose. POLITICAL. strict acccp'ation of that word and that it was not commuted until after mature deliberation upon the necessity that required and the pos- s’ble or probable good that might follow from it. So far from agreeing with the Enquirer, i therefore, that Mr V in Buren has suffered po litical martyrdom for the good of the country, wc only think, on (lie contrary, that he ha* prudently withdrawn from a storm which threatened to overwhelm him, and that be shrewdly calculates to regain the popularity The Clerk’s in the War Departmon have addressed the following letter to Mr, Eaton on his resignation: Department of War, I April 20, 1*31. J I Dear Sir: With emotions of unfeigned re gret, wc have learned that you are about to re- 'irc from this department. The relation we have sustained to each oilier, will therefore soon be dissolved. Permit us (in view of this anticipated sepa ration) to say, that your uniform acts ofkind ness, your bland and courteous deportment in all our intercourse wi'h you, belli private and official, have ma Ic a deep impression up on our hearts, and that, in your retirement from tlie onerous and important dulies you have been called upon to discharge as the head ot this Department, you will carry with you our best wishes for your present and eter nal bajiihnf'ss INTELLIGENCE. I* FROM THE CHARLESTON MERCURY. The Washington papers received yesterday contain no further information respecting th- recent resignation of the Cafonet. We are therefore, still in the dark as to the immediate causes of that extraordihary event. Mr. Van Buren’s loiter throws little or no light upon 1hem. Although written avowedly to explain tho reasons of his withdrawal, it is as mysleri ous and incomprehensible as a Sibylline oracle. He appears, in fact, ta have determined so to mystify his motives Ibfft no one hut himself should be able to understand them. Nor does Mr. E lion’s letter illuminate the subject. We gather from that, nothing more than that he had long wi>hed to retire, and (hat he consider ed the present a favorable opportunity. But why I he present, rather than any other that had past? What"was there that enabled the coun try to dispense with his and Mr. Van Buren’* services better now* than at any former period? Was it that they had become unpopular, and were dragging dowu the administration by their heaviness? Was it that they knew that a large portion of the Jackson party is decidedly oppos ed to them, and that the administration could not go on successfully if they remained in of fice ; were they satisfied, from convincing manifestations of public sentiment, that there was a much greater probability (h it Mr. Van Buren would destroy the President, than that the President could induce his friends to take »ip Mr. Van Buren ns hi* successor, and that therefore there wa9 on absolute necessity for their retirement, in order to save the President from the consequences which would too proba bly have resulted from their continuance ir. pow er? Nothing of this kind appears, indeed, in either of their letters. On ihe contrary, those letters arc evidently intended to create the im pression that their withdrawal was entirely voj unt ary---that the administration was perfectly prosperous and popular—that they had put things in a train which left little or nothing to ba done hy their successor—and that, under these circumstances, they only indulged a na tural and long cherished wish, to retfre, as soon as they could consistently with propriety, and the public interest, to the shades of private life But the fact is (hat they have only made a vir. tue of necessity, and prudently abandoned an administration which could not have gone on harmoniously or successfully, bad they continu ed to exercise influence or power in the general d.rcction of affairs. Public sentiment demanded the sacrifice, and it was offered np to that, and to that alone. The division and distraction ol tho Jackson party, growing out of the efforts of Mr. Van Burcn aud lib editors to destroy Mr. Calhoun—the increased f.©fcfilence& activity ol the partisans of Mr. Clay, consequent upon this unfortunate state ofthings in Hie Jackson rauks—strong sigus of disaffection in Virginia the recent elections in New-York—some ap prehension respecting Pennsylvania—to say nothing of public feeling generally in the South —all showed that a crisis was at hand, which could only be averted by the retirement of those who had been mainly instrumental in pro ducing it. Mr Eaton withdrew first, to save appearances—Mr. Van Buren. followed, from Mr. Randolph —1'oe evening Post contains the following letter from an eminent American, "distinguished in other walks than those ol . ; politics, now employed in a diplomatic station by this apparent act ot m ignarmnity, wbtee he j m |£ r „| in j »• had already lost, and would have continued to | ° * London March 2, 1831. lose, .ad he renamed in office \Y hetber this j In , he C0nr?0 ofa conversation which I had calculation will be realized or not. remains to : rectn){lv Wllh p rinCK Licven, the Russian Am- be seen. l i more «Jo we differ Iroin the E i- » .,u ,> • , . o , , ,, bassador, who was prune minister at Si Peters- quirer in giving credit, as it does, to Mr V;in ... , r ■> , , , , i> r n ft . . * , i burg at the t>me ot Mr. Randolph s pre&enta- Burcn, for all the important and successful no i,, ‘ r ,,,, i, • , • . , , . , ,-4i . {lon I took occasion mqure into the truth gociadons by which the present administration „<•.), l , ? , • i . » a . .i . . °l ihwse reports which have been circulated to is distinguished.

It is dated from the continent, March, 12. The character of the Regent of the Netherlands is particularly interesting:— If Belgium could be, or would, or might be let alone, she has now under 4*er regency the the very best form of government, in her aci.u a! condition, and with the (Tactes) habits and prejudices of her people.

La layette persist ed in his sentiments, Louis Philiipe in this incredulity, which became even arrogant and scornful.

SECOND EARL GREY. The family of Grey, or I): Croy, has been long settled in the north ol England, and ma- o«»rs havo appertained to it in the countv ol Northumberland, from the period of the con quest to the present day. It originally came, as the name imports, from the continent ; and, like other Norman scions, following the for tune* ol William the Bastard, became engraft ed on an English stock. The writer of this article is not prepared to affirm, although he is inclined to suppose, that the Greys took pari witli William HI, at the Revolution; but it ap pears pretty plainly, that they were wings in the reign of George I!, ns one of them served in he office of High Sheriff, in 173G. and that monarch was pleased to bestow a patent of ba ronetage upon him, January 11, I74C: the younger branch, as-will be seen hereafter, bn* been ennobled during the late reign. The bead of his family was created B iron Grey ol Werke, by James 11 ; aud the ancestor of Lord TankerviiSe, bv a marriage with a daughter o! this tauiily, obtained an earldom. Lord Grey Ilnwick was born March 13 1764, and, by the influence of ins family, and he early promise of his own future talents, was returned a member ol the county of Nor (humberlaml in 17C3 At Eaton he was co temporary "iih the late Mr. Bambtou, and the laie Mr Whitbread. Mr Grey was too young for a seat in tbu House of Commons during thu American war. but soon after he look his scat, uniformly tak ing the same side in politics, and voting along with Mr Fox. Ilo was one of that eloquent • ml intrepid party who maintained that Mr. Pitt had oh mined his first official appointment by singular and unconstitutional means; and he was a strenuuus oppositionist during the admi Migration of that minister. In 1806. in consequence of the death of Mr Pitt. Mr Grey ami Jus triends cauic into pow or; Lord Greenville succeeded Mr. Pi t as first Lord of the Treasury ; Lord Henrv Pelly as Chancellor ol the Exchequer. Mr. Fox a* So cretary to the Foreign Department; and Mr Grev First Lord of the Admiralty The un- me!y and lamentable death of the philosophic and patriotic Fox, caused a considerable alte ration in the ministry. Mr. Grey (then Lord Ilo wick, his fothei, Sir Charles Grey, having been created Earl Grey) succeeding him as Se cretary of State for Foreign Affairs. The sud den termination of this ministry is too well known to call for any detail from us ; sultice it to say, that the speech of Lord Ilowick, eluci dating and defending the conduct of hiinsill and friends in introducing the Catholic Q ics lion, was as nervous, clear and convincing an appeal as was ever made in the British Parlia' merit Since (hat period, his lordship lias con stantly opposed the measures of the succeed ing administrations. In the month of Novem ber 1807. Lord Ilowick succeeded, by tho death “f hi* father, to the family estate and tiUes He had led to the altar, on the 18th of Novem ber, 1794, the amiable and eminently, intelli gent daughter of William Brebazon Lord Pun- sonby, then one of the greatest whig families m Ireland; and who presented him with five laughters and six sons. II;s Lordship is tall end graceful in his per son, speaks with great distinctness and propri ety, and delivers speeches with uncommon earnestness, and often with the fervor of elo quence. Glass in Grass.—One of Mr. Coate’s chil dren accidentally discovered that two bonnet Canes rubbed together produced a faint light. The novelty of this phenomenon induced mo to ex.imme it, and 1 found that two does, on collision, produced sparks of light as brilliant as those from the flint and steel. On examin ing the epidermis, 1 found, when it was taken off, that the cane9 no longer gave light on col lision. The epidermis, subjected to chemical a valysi-s, h id all the properties of siiex. Th© similar appearance of the epidermis of reeds, corn, and grasses, induced me to suppose that they contained it in rather larger proportions thao the canes. The corn and grasses contain sufficient potash to form glass with their flint. A vciy pretty experiment may be made use on these plants with tbe blow-pipe: if you take a straw of wheat, barley, or hey, and burn it,- be ginning at the top, and heating the ashes nifh the blue flame, you will obtain a perfect glo bule ol bard glass fit for microscopic exputi.- meuts.—Paris's Lfe of Sir H Davy.

New Imported Fruit Tree. —A letter from J. \\ in ship, Esq. ot Brighton, Mass mentions that he has growing iu his grounds a ti^eten feet high, the produce of the%pod of the Sliep- fierdia or Silver Capped Buffalo Berry Tree, from Council BlulL. It is one of the greatest acquisitions of the Iruil-bcariug kind our coun try can produce; for beauty ot foliage, fulness, goodness, and elegance of fruit, it iTunrivallcd by any new production; the fruit is about the aze of the red Antwerp currant, much rnoro rich to the taste and forms one continued clus ter of fruit on every branch and twig.
