ent, that n cardinal ascended the pulpit, and began to pr* a.*:*. He was a min abut fifty years old, small o’ future, and his eye s!! ii with deep and sombre light, that made each sinner tremble. His thick, jeUblaek hair lent t<> Ins worn features a yet harder and more deter* tinned expression. .Kerry word lie uttered was revered by the people ; with them lie passed for a holy man, and ad the bishops in ltally tremble before the power of the mottle Hildebrand., dot.lifted to wear the tiara as Grego ry VII. 4 'hi the course hf his sermon, ho spoke thn# : ; In Ger* man ~ a certain count, rich and powerful, and wlijt ap pears,a ; ivargy amongst, his class, a man of good con • science, and who, according to human judgment, always bu an innocent life, died about ten years since. After this cunt, a certain Judy train descended in spirit to the in* httpd regions, and saw the count placedthe uppermost rung -fa ladder. He and escribed this lamer as rising un* touciu and aniid tb? rushing waving flames of the avenging urnace, be; ng. planted thereto jceeive every member of tno san * family who might be sent down’ thither. A H ow’ chaos, a fearful abyss, extended infinitely down- W-D an:l this enormous ladder rose.

A voice answered: ‘Be e.m ( ,t a; domain belonging to the Church at Metz, which om (k this Dili’s aneo.storjO took unlawful possession of; an.i because hm rlcsccodants have all been ‘guilty of the ff s . m ot avarice, the like punishment is decreed to them below.

James stobertson Arnold died in London on Locemoei Ui.i. He wus second son of Benedict Arnold, , V “*“* hjs wde, daughter of Chief Justice Shippen, of iennsylvmnn. i!e entered the corps of Royal Engineers in 17JJ, and served more than half a century. He married V !igi...n, daughter of Bartlett Goodrich, Esq., of the Isle of Wi; ;ht, and tor his military services was created a Knight of Hanover, was appointed aid-de-camp to William IV., and was presented with’a costly sword.” I he :v;ove named officer was the oldest of four children whicli Arnold’s second wife, Miss Shippen, of Philadelphia bore him, viz: James Robertson, Edward, George and So plna. Ilis first wile boro three sons, viz : Benedict, Richard and Henry. Benedict, die oldest was an officer of artillery in the British army, ant!, it ia believed, was compelled to to quit the service; he died young in the West Indies.— Heniy entered the King s service alter his father’s defection, and was a lieutenant of cavalry in the American Region, lie accompanied his father to St John, and was employed in Ins business. He slept in the warehouse near the Lower Love in tin t city, and io.dficd there the night the budding was burned. He lived afterwards at Troy, New York, wi.h his Aunt Hannah, and was engaged in mercantile pur suits. At a subsequent period, he removed to Canada, wnere he is now a man of property. He received half pay ans a grant o! lands from the British government. Rich ard in 1 7dt5 lie was also a lieutenant of cavalry in the American Legion, commanded by his father. In most every particular his history is identical with that of his brother Henry. Persons are still living at St. John who resided there when General Arnold’s store was burned IBe impression was, at the moment, and still is, that the fire was caused by -design, and for the purpose of de frauding a c npany in England, that had under-written upon the merchandise which it contained, to an amount Hr exceeding its worth. These persons differ as to the fact, whether Arnold himself was at St. Jonn, or absent in’ Eng la.id, at the tunc of the fire ; and hence the degree of blame wmen should ! jj attached to the two sons may he uncertain, i eat. both I Jenry and Richard slept in the store on the night cd the coming!ation, and that neither could give a satisfac tory account el t, cause, seems however, to be certain. JtniK • Robert, .on, whore recent death is mentioned a bove, wa-the only one of the four children which the trai tor s second wife bore him, that was born in America. At tiie tune of tjio treason he was a child, and had just reach e ‘ Gc.-t Point from Philadelphia, with his mother. He entered the British army in 17‘.)8, and rose to the rank ol Colonel of Engineers fie was stat on?d at Bermuda from 181 G to K'iS, and from the last i am and year until 16*23, was at llahlax, and the commandu g officer of engineers m Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. While thus in com mand he was at St; John, and on goDg into the house nmlt. i-y -Ins father, in King streei, Chi;h is still standing,) lie wept like a child. He was asm. 11 man, his eyes were or ro-maikanle sharpness, and in lea ure s bore a striking re semblance .to ins father. A gout! ma i who has been in service with him, and was intimate y a *quainted with him, spe;ias of bun in higii terms of con.me idation, and relates that ha lias o!ten heard him express- a strong desire to visit the United States. Since the accession of Queen Victoria he has been one of her Majesty’s aids-de-camp. In 1841 ho. w&3 transferred from the engineer corps, and appointed Major General,’ and a Knight of the Royal Hanoverian Guelph c Order. Edward, me next son, was some years ago in a banking house in England, .George, in 1816, was an officer of dra goons. Sophia— -of her fate nothing is known. It may be aimed, that the first General Arnold’s mother had six chil dfun, of.whom lie and Ids sister Hannah alone lived to the years of maturity. The sister adhered to her brother Ben eaiei throughout Ins eventful and guilty career, and was true to.aim in the da:kest periods of his history. She died at Montague, in Upper Canada, in 1803, and was uniformly siftted, a lady ol excellent qualities of character. English Compensation for Lib or a ted Slaves. Among the awards made by the joint commission, lately m session in London tor the settlement of claims pending Is tween citizens of the I .‘cited States and Great Britain and the governments oi the respective countries, two arc ol’es pcseiol interest to the South. They are for slaves belonging tombzensofthe Southern States, liberated by the British \ v 'est India .I'ithonties. The first is the case ot the biig ('leole—cl.iim for damages for liberating slaves on board this vessel at Bahama Islands, compelled to put in there oil account ot mutiny of the slaves. The commissioners dis agreed on the allowance of the claim, and tne umpire a - to the several claimants the sum 0f5112,130. The persons in Ivicmnond interested and the amounts J due themaio: William H. Goodwin, $20,000; Lumpkin 1 and Lockett $20,000; G. W. Apperson, $15,000; John i Hagan, $5,000. The judgment of the Commission is a just j one, and in an international point of view highly t impor- j taut and gratifying. The other case was that of the brig Enterprise also bound j for is ew Orleans. The case is thus reported in the Lon- i don conespondence of the New Yoilc Post: Brig Enterprise, J. W. Neal and others, owners of slaves on board—claim for damages in liberating slaves on board of said vessel under the iayv§ of Bermuda, when driven into harbor in that island by stress of weather. The commissioners disagreed on the allowance of the claim, and it was referred o tit? umpire, and he awarded to the claimants the sum cl sls,ooo.
