My Wile.
li’.-.-Un lefti-'e recovering from a severe titknm.
1 heard her, O, how cautiously,
Open my bedroom door:
1 heard her steps as noiselessly,
To my couch across the floor,'
I felt her hands ray temples press,
Her lips just touching mine ;
And in my anguish and distress,
Twere sinful to repine.
Our pilgrimage is nearly through
v\ e’vc passed life's mountain s brow ;
1 thought I lov’d her, years ago—
-1 know 1 love her now.
Her face was hovering over mine -
Her warm tears on my cheek ;
lh-r whispered prayer, of thought clivino
Rose fervently but meek ;
Her bosom rested on my arm ;
1 felt its troublous throb ;
1 know the cause of its alarm,
1 knew its source of woe ;
And then the blood my system through,
Came pressing on my Brow—
-1 thought I lov’d her, years ago
1 know 1 love her now.
Thus watch'd that tired and patient oua,
By night as well as day,
lu sadness and almost alone,
Till weeks had passed away ;
Bereft of sleep—deprived of rest—
Oppressed —borne down with care.
Till O; her labors have been bless’d,
l or God has heard her prayer.
Her cheek resumes its wonted glow.
And placid is her brow—
-1 thought 1 lov’d her, years ago -
1 kumv I love her now.
The Snow Sroaii *r Philadelphia and Shw
\ ni;K —lt appears it did not commence snowing
iii Philadelphia until Saturday afternoon, and con
tinued to fall until 4 o'clock on Sunday morning.
The LtAjtr, of 7th iust., savs:
“The snow fell about fifteen inches on a level,
hut in the streets of the city it was piled up in
jdacea five nr six feel high. Though yesterday
was a dav of r.>t, thousands of laborers turned
■ lit to clear the sidewalks, and for a few hours
there was a busy rattling of shovels and brooms,
from strong arms, working with a will. Wages
were good and hands were brisk; many a laborer
. anted the best day's wages received this winter.
The snow hung in ledges over the roofs, and occa
sionally a mass of it, started by the sun’s ravs,
.old descend upon the sidewalks, to the imuii
ii.-iit risk of knocking pedestrians down. The
sleighing is excellent, and by to-day the roads will
ho pretty well broken, so that but little inconve
nience will be experienced by housekeepers front
the storm. If yesterday' had been a dav of busi
ness. the market and milkmen would not have
he at able to sen-.-their customers. The lines of
railroad were all impeded by the snow, not a sin
xde mail line, from any quarter, due on Saturday
night, reached the city in tha usual time.’’
At Vow York, the snow was accompanied bv a
i old, gusty wind. The Herald, of Sunday savs :
" Tie- kind >f storm that raged yesterday is
above all others the most likely to do damage to
the shipping on the coast, as the wind blows on
shore, and the drifting snow makes it impossible
to see the headlands and lighthouses. There will,
■■onsequently, he much anxiety'felt with regard to
vessels at sea for some days to come.’’
Salem. V. J., Jan. 1. —The snow here is a foot
leep. The weather is very cold. This morning
the mer curyjwas 4 below 0.

The Collins Steamers.
The Postmaster General renews, this rear, his '
on extra appropriations, granted by Con- !
gross to the Collins line of steamers, in the follow- |
ing style:
“ In my last annual report 1 referred to the large
amounts annually drawn from the treasury by the
Collins line of steamers, and recommended that
the six months’ notice required by the act of July ,
til, 18.52, should he given. It is not necessary that
1 should again refer to the important fact that the
Collins line of steamer- is receiving from the gov
ernment eight hundred and fifty-eight thousand
dollars for twenty-six trips, while the British gov
ernment paid the Cnnard line eight hundred and
sixtv-six thousand seven hundred dollars for fifty- '
two trips; nor to the injurious effects which the
establishment of this monopoly must have upon 1
the commercial interests of the country.
“ Their original contract entered into by them,
after full consideration, bound them to build five t
steam-hips, to maintain and subsist four passed j
midshipmen and a mail agent, and for the mail :
service they were to receive nineteen thousand two j
hundred and fifty dollars a trip. Congress has re- j
lieved them front that part of the agreement which j
obliged them to maintain the four midshipmen. ,
The Post Office department has not taken advan
tage of the contract which empowers it to send out j
a mail agent, and which obliges the company to j
accommodate and subsist him ; and the company,
instead ol building five steamships, as stipulated j
in their contract, have built but four. With the j
knowledge that the company have built but four j
steamships; that they have been relieved from
two onerous conditions of their contract, one bv
Congress and the other by the action of the Post
Office Department in a spirit of munificence and 1
liberality —on the gist of July, lsr,2, the amount j
of compensation was increased to thirty-three thou- I
sand dollars a trip. Temporary embarrassment, !
caused by the company’s entering into a new en- j
terprise, may have been the cause of this action ou :
the part of Congress; but these reasons can no •
longer resist.
“Apart from the prices fixed in their ovrn contract, i
the sum paid bv the British government is, in my j
opinion, a full equivalent for their service, and it '
is for this reason that 1 agaiu refer to it ; but what- j
ever unexpected outlays there were on the nart of
the cotnpanv. Congress has certainly dealt with
them in a truly liberal and generous spirit. Since
the passage of the act of July 21, 18.12, computing
from phe Ist of January, 1852, the time when the
additional allowance commenced, to the Ist of De
cember, 1855, the company will have received one
million four hundred and two thousand five bun
dled dollars more than they would have been en
titled to for the same amount of service under the
original contract ; and if this period be lengthened,
and the notice not given until March, it will make
one million six hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
Whatever, therefore, were the views Congress
in granting this increased compensation, I cannot
but regard the continuance of it as a mere gratui
ty, destroying all competition on a most important
route, and, like all such appropriations, attended
by more pernicious influences.

Montgomery, Jan. 7. This body re assembled
this day. Hon. George Goldthwaite tendered his
resignation as Judge of the Supreme Court. Da

bills were passed. The day was consumed in the
discus-ion of joint resolutions, introduced by Mr.
Speaker V alker, upon the subject of our Federal
relations. The resolution approving tha Nebras
ka-Kansas act was attacked bv Messrs. Belser and
Cryoi, and very ably sustained bv Messrs. Walker,
Beck and others. The ground of objection was
that t:;e act recognized squatter sovereignty and
allowed foreigners to vote. It was contended in
’.epiv that by the terms of the act, the powers of
ihe Legislative Assembly were limited; and that
the privilege of voting extended onlv to tha first

Lost Baggage.— An. Interfile J Party maybe a
Witness. —The following is the report of a ease
tried in the First District Court, New York, before
Judge Green.
ftot/ait vs. the Camden and Arniboy Railroad
Co. —The plaintilf was a passenger on the defend
ants’ railroad to Philadelphia, in the spring of
1854. He paid his passage here and took a check
for his trunk. When the cars arrived at Philadel
phia he presented his check to the baggage master
and demanded his trunk. It could not DC found
and was not delivered. These facts were sworn
to by the defendants’ baggage master, who re- i
ceived the trunk. It was then proposed to prove I
by the plaintiff the contents of the trunk, out it 1
was objeoted to by Mr. Livingaton, the defend
ants’ counsel, on the ground that the general rail
road act of this State, alhnviug the plaintiff to be
exaimined to prove the contents of his trunk, did
not apply, as the defendants were a foreign cor
poration, and the act in question related exclusive
ly to corporations formed under it.
The judge overruled the objection, and in doing
so stated that, although the railroadact did notap
plv to the case, yet the common law does, that af
ter a party has established the fact by testimony
other thaii his own of the delivery of the trunk,
(which fact the plaintiff lias proved in this case,)
he is a competent witness to prove iis contents for
the reason that the wearing apparel of a traveller
is generally packed by himself, and if he were not
permitted to prove by his own testimony the arti
cles thus jiacked, he would he remediless in the
premises. 1 know the general rule of evidence
would not permit a person to be sworn as a wit
ness in his own behalf, but this from the necessity
of the case is an exception to that rule, y I Green
leaf’s Ev. p. 408, and note; Story on Bail, p. 477. >
I am, therefore, of an opinion, that the plaintiff is
a competent witness to prove the contents of the
trunk in question. The defendants’ counsel ex
cepted to the ruling. The plaintiff then testified
| to its contents and the value, amounting to $83.50,
and there being no further testimony produced on
| either side, judgment was rendered in favor of the
plaintiff for that sum with costs. We understand
j the defendants intend appealing from this deci
sion.
Thh Rulers of Europe.— The Court Calendar of

year. Six sovereigns are as yet unmarried, — ;
three are widowers, and one is divorced; of the
remaining number two have contracted morganatic j

London the Greatest City. —London is now the
| greatest city in the world, and far surpasses all the
| great cities of antiquity. According to Gibbon,
the population of ancient Rome in the height of
j its magnificence, was 1,200,000; Nineveh is esti
: mated to have had 600,000; and Dr. Medhurst sup
i poses that the population of Pekin is about 2,000,-
! 000. The population of London, according to re-
I cent statistics, amounts to 2,500,000 —414,722 hav

sea is not s<> remarkable as the people in its neigh
borhood, who are said to read and write ; have no
idols, are generally serious, solid, sensible people,
and profess to believe iu God, and have no tincture
of Mahommedanism. From whom did they learn
these'things, oris it a traveller’s story?

was so beastly drunk that he had lost all power oflo

good Samaritans who passed that way, lie must
have inevitably perished with cold.
