FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 1«. “Our political prospects from the indications of public opinion, arc, as far as I can judge, favora ble. Judge Dougherty is charged, and the report is circulated to his injury, with having signed the memorial paying the interference of the Legis lature, in favor of the proposed “15 gallon law.” It is however, untrue, and it becomes the duty of the press as well as of his friends, to remove this impression at least, as the public mind is peculiar ly sensitive upon the subject.” The above is an extract from a letter from a friend in the country. We presume it is but simple justice to both the candidates for Governor, to say that neither of them have signed the anti retail memorials to the Legislature. Whatever may be their opinions, (and we do not know the opinion ofcither) standing as they do before the people, it would be manifestly improper for them to do so. The successful candidate will be a co ordinate branch of the government with the Le gislature, and should not therefore do any thing to influence the action of the Legislature. The Norfolk Beacon states that the following vessels of war arc lifting out at the Navy Yard, at that place. Frigate Brandywine, Com. Bol ton, destined for the Mediterranean; Sloop of war York Town, recently launched, and the Schr. Grampus, Lt. Com. Paine, for West Indies. The frigate Potomac is in the Dry Dock undergoing repairs. The packet ship Duchess of Orleans, which sailed from Now Yura, for Havre, on Friday, the 9th, took out £90,0(10 in specie. The York Express of Saturday says:—There I is no new feature in the Money Market, except that Specie has fallen, Mexican dollars only command 1 per ct., and half dollars £ per et., — Gold hears little or no premium. More disposi tion is manifested to invest in Stocks 'o day, and things appear a little easier, although they arc exceedingly close. Our friend of the Petersburg Inlelligencer has very properly brought to notice an extraordinary paragrapli in the last Enquirer in reference to Mr. lay. It is nothing less than an exultation on the part of that print, that the Abolitionists of the North have given Mr. Clay some Iruubb about lim views on slavery Wnat will not an unscrupulous "sinker or swimmer” do to prove his fealty to power !—Richmond Whig. From the Petersburg Intelligencer. Mr. Clay. The people of the South have been coaxed and persuaded by every artful manner of means, through the columns of the Richmond Enquirer, to act on the belief that the Abolitionists of the North would not support the re-election of Mr Van Burn it, “the Northern man with Southern principles.” No doubt those artful moans, such as suppressing Mr. Clay’s great speech against the wild and ferocious designs of those fanatics, have been successful in very many instances. But the truth is mighty and will prevail. The Abolitionists will support Mr. Van Buren, or they will take no part in the election. They will not support Mr. Clay. We thank Mr. Ritchie for unwittingly furnishing his readers with the following item of intelligence: 3QQ 0 § “In the meantime, the Abolitionists are giving - the orator some trouble.

Being a ninth extract from the legacy of the late Francis Purcell, P P. of Drumcoolagh. Jim Sullivan was a dacent, honest hoy as you’d find in the seven parishes, an’ he was a beautiful singer, an’ an illcgaut dancer intirely, an’a mighty pleasant hoy in himself; but ho had the divil’g bed luck, for he married for love, an’ av course he never had an asy minute afther. Nell Gorman was the girl he fancied, an’ a beauti ful slip ot a girl she was, jist twinty to the min ute when he married her. She was as round an’ as complate in all her shape as a firkin’ you’d think, an’ her two cheeks was as fat an’ as red, it id open your heart to look at them. Hut beauty is not the thing all through, an’ as beautiful as she was, she had the divil’s tongue, an’ the divil’s temper, an' the divil’s behaviour all out; an’ it was impassible for him to be in the house with her, for while you’d count ten, without havin’ an argument, an’as sure ns she riz an argument with him she’d hit him a wipe iv a skillet or whatever lay next to her hand. Well, this wasn’t at all plasin’ to Jim Sullivan yon may he sure, an’ there was scarce a week that his head wasn’t plaslhered up, or his hack hint double, or his nose swelled as big us a pittaty, with the vi leneu of her timper, an" his heart was scalded everlastinly with her tongue; so lie had no pace or quietness in body or suwl at all at all, with the way she was goin’ on. Well, your honor one eowld snowin'evenin’ he kim in aither his day’s work regulatin’ the men in the farm, an’ he sat down very quiet by the fire, for he had a scrim midge with her in the loomin', an’ all he wanted was an air iv the fire in pace; so divil a word he said but dlircw a stool an’ sat down close to the fire. Well, as soon as the woman saw him, ‘Move aff,’says she,‘an’don't he inthrudin’ an the lire,’ says she. Well, he kept never mindin’, an’ didn't let an to hear a word she was savin’; so she kim over, an’she had a spoon in her hand, an’ sbe took jist the smallest tasie in life iv the boilin’ walher out iv tile pot, an’ she dhropped it down an his shins, an’ with that he let a roar you’d think the roof id fly all' iv the house.— ‘Ho vldyour tongue, you barbarian,’ says she, ‘you'll waken the child,’ says she. ‘An’ if I done right,’ says he, lor the spoonful of boilin’ wather riz him intirely, ‘l’d take yourself,’ says he, ‘an’ I’d slulfyou into the pot an the lire, an’ boil you,’ says he,‘into castor oil,’says he. ‘That’s purty behaviour,’ says she; ‘it’s fine usage you’re giv in’ me, isn’t ill’ says she, geltin’ wickeder eve y minute; ■ Gut before I’m boiled,’says she,‘thry how you like that,' says she ; an’, sure enough, before ho had lime to put up his guard, she hot him a rale terrih o clink iv the iron spoon acrass the jaw. ‘Howld me some iv ye, or I’ll murdher her,’ says he. ‘Will you V says she, an' witli that she hot him another tin times as good as the first. ‘By jahers,’says he, slappin’ himself be hind, ‘that’s the last salute you’ll ever give me,’ says he,‘so take my last hlessin’,’ says he, -you ungovernable haste,’ says he—an’ with that he pulled an his hat an’ walked out iv the door.— Well, she never minded a word he said, for he used to say the something all as one every time she dhrew blood; an’she had no expectation at all but he’d come back by the lime supper id be ready ; but faix the story didn’t go quite so sim ple this time, for while he was walkin’, lonesome enough, down the borheen, with his heartalmost broke with pain, for his shins an’his jaw was mighty troublesome, av course, with the threat meut he got, who did he sec hut Mick Hanlon, his uncle’s sarvint by, ridm’ down, quiet an’ asy, an the ould black horse, with a halter as long as himself. ‘ls that .Mr. Soolivan?’ says the by, as soon as he saw him a good hit all’. ‘To be sure it is, ye spalpeen you,’ says Jim, roarin’ out; ‘what do you want wid me this time a day ?’ says he. ‘Don’t you know me!’ says the gossoon, ‘it’s Mick Hanlon that’s in it,’ says he. ‘Oh, blur an agers, thin, it’s welcome your are, Micky ashore,’ says Jim ; ‘how is all wid the man an’ the woman beyant?’ says he. ‘Oh !’ says Micky, ‘bad enough,’ says he; ‘the ould man’s jist all’ an’ if you don’t hurry like shot,’ says he, ‘he’ll he in glory before you get there,’ says he. ‘lts jokin’ ye are,’ says Jim, sorrowful enough, for he was mighty partial to his uncle intirely. ‘Oh. not in the smallest taste,’ says Micky, the breath was jist out iv him,’ says he, when I left the. farm; an’says lie-‘lake the ould black horse,’ says he, ‘for he’s shore-footed for the road,’ says he, ‘an’ bring Jim Soolivan here.’ says he, ‘for 1 think I’d die asy as I could see him onst,’ says lie. ‘Well,’ says Jim,‘will I have time.’says he, ‘to go back to lire house? for it would be a con solation,’ says he, ‘to tell the had news to the wo man,’ says he, ‘lt’s too late you are already,’ says Micky, ‘so come up behind me, for God’s sake,’ says he,‘an’ don’t waste time;’ an’with that he brought the horse up beside the ditch, an’ Jim Soolivan mounted up behind Micky, an’ they rode all’, an’ tin good miles it was iv a road, an’ at the other side of Keeper intirely ; an’ it was snowin’ so fast that the ould haste could hardly go on at ail at all, an’ the two hys an his back wa-jist. like a snowball alias one, an’ almost fruz an’ smothered at the same time, your honor; an’ they wor both mighty sorrowful intirely, an’ their toes almost dhroppin’ all' wid the. eowld.— An’when Jim got to the farm his uncle was cellin’ an illegantly. an’ he was sillin’up sthrong and warm in the bed, an’ improvin’every minute, an’ no signs av (lyin’ an him at all at all; so he had all bis throuhle fornothiu’. liut this wasn't all, for the snow kein so thick that it was umpas sible to get along the roads at all at all; an’ faix, instead iv geltin’ betther, next mornin’ it was on ly tin times worse; so .Lin had jist to lake it asy, an’ stay wid his uncle autil such limes as the snow i’d melt. Well, your honor, the evenin’ Jim Soolivan wiul away, whin the dark was closin’ in, Nell German, his wife, begind to get mighty uneasy in herself whin she didn’t see him coinin’ back at all; an’ the was cellin’ more an' more frightful in herst II every minute till the dark kein an. an’ divil a taste of her husband was coinin’ at ail at all. “On!” says she, “there’s no use in purlen din', I know, he’s kill himself; he has committed inlanlycidc an himself,” says she. “li .ea dissi- l : pa tod bliggard as he always was,” says she, ■ | “God rest his sow). Oh, liiin, isn't it me an’ o <r ! you, Jim Soolivan. thm a the unfortunate wo ; man," says she, •• for ain’t I eryin' here, an’ isn’t j i he in heaven, the bliggard,” gays she. “ Oh, | volt, voh, is't not at home comfortable with your wife an’ family that you are, Jim Soolivan,” says she, “but in the other world, you amnalhaun. in glory with the saints, I hope,” says she. “It's I, that's the unforthunate female,” says she, “ an’ ■ not yourself, Jim Soolivan,” says she. An’this way she kep an till mornin’, cryin’ an’ lamentin’;: an’ wid the first light she called up all the «»r -vint by r s, an' she tould them to go out an' to sarch every inch iv the ground to find the corpse, “Or I m sure,’ says she, “it’s not to go hide him self he would,” says she. Well, they went, as well as they could rummagin’ through the snow, until, at last, what should they come to, sum enough, hut the corpse of a poor travelling man, | that fell over the quarry the night before by ret- j son ol the snow an’ some licquere he had, may- , bo; but, at any rate, he was as dead as a herrin’,.ij an his face was knocked all to pieces jist like an over-boiled pitaly, glory be to God: an’divil sc; taste of a nose or a chin, or a hill or a hollow (■ from one end av his face to the other, hut was nil > as flat ns a pancake; an’ he was about Jim Soolf ]' Ivan’s size, an’ dhressed out exactly the same;. ! wid a ridin’ coat an’ new cordheroys; so they ; carried him home, an’they were alias sure ns ( daylight it was Jim Soolivan himself, an’ they were wondherin’ he'd do sueli a dirty turn as to go kill himself forspito. Well,your honor, they waked him as well as they could, with what neghbors they could get together, hut by ras in iv the snow, there wasn’t enough gathered to make much diversion ; however it was a plisint wake enough, an’ the churchyard an’ the praist bein’ convanient, as soon as the youngsihers bad their bit iv the fun an’ diversion out iv the corpse, they buried it without a greatdale iv trouble; an’ a'mut three days aflher the burrin', ouldJim Mallow ney. fioin th’ other side of the little bill, her own cousin by the mother’s side—be bad a snug bit of a farm an’ a house close by, by the same to ken—kem walkin’ in to see bow she was in her health, an'he hhrew a chair, and he sot down an’ beginned to convarse her about one thing an’ another, until be got her quiet an’ asy into mid dling’ good humor; an’ as soon as he seen it was time, “I'm wondherin," says he, “Nell Gorman, sieh a handsome, likely, id lie thinkin’ iv’ nothin’ but lamintin’ an’ ihe likes,’ say he, “an’ lingerin’ away her days without any consolation, or get tin’ a husband,’ says he. •Oh,’ says she “isr’s it only three days since I buried the poor man,” says she, “an' isn’t it rather soon to he talkin’ iv marry in’ agin?" “ Divil a taste,” says he, “three rays is jist the time to a minute for cryin’ aflher a husband, an’ there’s no occasion in life to be krepin’ it up ” says be; “an’ besides all that,” says he, ‘Shrovetide is almost over, an’ if ye don’t be srirrin" yourself’an’ lookin' about you, you’ll be late,” say lie, “for this year at any rale, an’ tlial s twelve months lost, an’ who’s to look aflher ll e farm all that lime? ” says he. “It’s th rue sot you, Jim Mallowney,” i-ays she, “but I’m afe.ired the neigbora will all be talkin’ about it,” says she. “D vil's cure to I lie word,” says he. “Ah' who would you advise ?” says she, “Young Andy Curtis is the boy, says he. * He’s a likely hoy in himself,” says she; “an’ as handy a goss. on ai is out,” says he. “Well, thin. Jim Mallowney,” says she, “here’s my hand, an’you may b<' talkin’ to Andy Curtis, an’ if he’s willin’ i’m agn cable—is that enough ?’’ says she. So w ith thalhc made off with himself strait to Andy Cuitis, an’ before three more days was past, the "eddin’ kem an, an’ Nell Gorman an’ Andy Curtis were married as complale as possible; an’ it the wake was plisint, the weddin' was tin limes as ag ecablc, an’ all the neighbors that could make (heir way to it was there, an’ there was three fiddlers an’ lots iv pipers, an ould* Con nor Shamus I lie piper himself was in it—by the same token it was the last weddin’ he ever play ed music at, for the next mornin’ he was goin' home, bein’ mighty hearty an’ plisint in himself, bo was smoothered in the snow, undher the mild castle; an’ by my sowl he was a sore loss to the by's and girl’s twenty miles round, for he was the illiganlest piper, burrin’ the liquer alone, that ever worked a bellows. Well, a week pass ed over smart enough, an’ Nell an' her new hus band was mighty well contintod with one anoth er, for it was too soon for her to begin to regulate him the way she used with poor Jim Soolivan, sotheywor comfortable enough ; but (bis was too good lo last, for the thaw kem an, an’ you may be sure Jim Soolivan didn't loose a minute’s time as soon as the heavy dhrift iv snow was melted enough between him and borne lo let him pass, for he didn’t hear a word iv news from home sinsl be lift it, by rason that no one, good or bad, could thravel at all, with the way the snow was dhrifted. So, one night, when Nell Gorman, an’ her new husband, Andy Curtis, was snug an’ warm in lied, an’ fast asleep, an’ every thing quiet, who should come to the door, sure enough, but Jim Soolivan himself, an’ lie beginned flafin’ the door wid a big blackthorn stick he had, an’ roarin’ out like the divil to open the door, tor he had a dhrop taken. “ What the divil’s the mallher ?” says Andy Curtis wakeuin out iv his sleep. “Who’s balin’ the door?” says Nell: “what’s all (he noise for?” says she. “Who's in it?”says Andy. “It’s me,” says Jim. “Who are you?” says Andy; “what’s your name ?” “Jim Soolivan.” says lie. “By jabers you lie,” says Andy; “Wait til! I get at you,’ says Jim billin’ the door a lick iv the wat tle you’d hear halfmile oIT. It’s him, sure enough,” says Nell ; “I know his speech; it’s his wander in’ sowl that can’t get rest, the crass o’ Christ betune us and harm.” “Let me in,” says Jim, “or I’ll dbrive the doorin a top iv yis. “Jim Soo livan Jim Soolivan,” says Nell, sittin up in the bed, an’ gropin for a quart bottle iv holy walher she used to hang by the back iv the lied, “don’t come in darlin, there's holy walher here,” says she; “but tell me from where you are is there any thing that’s throuhlin’ your poor sinful sowl?” says she. “An’tell me, how many masses’ill make you asy, an’by this crass, I’ll bny you as I many as you want,” says she. “I don’t know what the divil you mane,” says Jim. “Goback,’ ' says she, “go back to glory lor God's sake," says she. “Uivil’s cure to the bit iv me ‘ill go hack to glory, or any where else,” says he, “this blessed 1 night: so open the door at onst, an’ let me in,” i says he. “I’heLord forbid,” says she. “k'y ja i bora you’d betther,” says be, “or u ’ill lie worse )i r I you, ’ says he; and wid that he fell lo wallopin’ 1 j the door till lie was fairly tired, an’ Andy an’ inn | wife crassin’ themgclve- an’ sayin’ their prayers ' j for the bare life all the time. “Jim Soolivan," I says she, as soon ns he was done, “go back, for I god s sake, an’ don’t be freakenin’ me an’ your | poor fatherless childhren,” says she. "Why, you 1 boslhoon you,” say* Jim, - won't you let your husband in,” says he, “to bis own house ?” says J he. “You war rny husband sure enough,” says , she, “but it swell you know, Jim Soolivan,you’re L ’Literally, Cornelius James —the last name em- : ' ployed as a patronyimic. t onnor is used, invatia- ; I bly, in the Louth, as the short name for Cornelius, 1 - or “Grohore."

Och, by the hoky,” says t Jim, “it’s too long I’m makin’ a fool iv myself, ( gostherin wid you outside iv my own door,” t says he, “for it s plane to ho seen,” says he, “you ,* don t know what you’re saying,” an’ no one else \ knows what you mane you unfortunate fool,’ says i he; “so oust for all, open the door quietly,” says ( he. “or by my sowking.

Well, whin Nell an’ Andy I seen he was getting vexed, they beginned to bawl i out their prayers, with the fright, ns if the life . wor lavin’them; an’the more he bate the door, the louder they prayed, until at lust Jim was fair ly tired out. “Bad luck to you,” says he, for a ■ rale divil of a woman, says he; “I cuii’t get any , advantage av you any way ; but wait iHI I get hould iv you. that’s all,’ says he. An’ he turned all fromjlhedoor,an’ wintround to thecow house, an’ settled himself as well us ho cculd in the sthraw; an’he wag tired enough wid the travcl lin’ he had in the day lime, an’ a good dale both ered with what liquor he had taken ; so he was party sure ol steepin’ wherever he thruc himself. But. lie ray soul, it wasn’t the same way with the man an’ the woman in the house—for divil a wink iv sleep, good or bad. could they get at all. wid the fright iv thesperit, as they supposed; an’ with the first light they sint a little gossoon, as fast as he could wag, straight oft’ like u shot, to, he priest,an’ to desire him, for the love ofGoi’i, to come to them an the minute, an’ to bring, if it was {rinsin’ to his raverenee, all the little things he Itae for sayin’ mass, an’savin’ sowls, an’ ha u jshin’ sperits, an’ (reckonin' the divil,an’ the lik es iv that.

Well, there wasn’t a second word to the bar gain; so they paid him the money down, an’ he settled the table out like; an althar, before the door, an’ he settled it out wid all the things ’ne hail wid him; an’ he lit a hit iv a holy candle, un’ he scathered his holy wather right an’ left; an’ he took up a big hook, on’ he wint an read in’ for half an hour, good; an’ whin he kem to the end, he tuck hould iv his little bell, and he h< ginned I to rivg it for the bare life; an’, by my sow), he rung it so well, that he wakened Jim S ulivan in the cow-house, where he was sleepin,’ an’ up he jumped, widout a minute’s delay’an’ mod right for the house, where all the family an’ the priest, an’ the little mass-hoy was assimbled, lay in’ the ghost; an’ as soon as his raverenee seen him coin in’ in at the door, wid the fair fright, he flung the hell at his head, an’ hot him sich a lick iv it in the fmehead, that he sthrctched him an the floor; hut faix he didn’t wait to ax any questions, but he cut round the table as if the divil was afther him, an’out at the door, an’didn’t stop even as much as to mount an his mare, hut leathered away down the borheen as fast as his legs could carry him though the mud was up to his knees, savin’ your presence.

One was death for desertion; a soldier was to be shot. The young Queen read it— paused—looked up to the officer who laid it be fore her, and sard, “Have you nothing to say in behalf of this man!” “Nothing—lie lias deserted three limes,” said t.ie officer. ‘•flunk again, my lerd,'* was her reply “ And,” said the gallant veteran, ns he related the circumstances to his friends, “seeing her Ma jesty so earnest about it, I said he certainly is a had soldier; hut theie was somebody spoke as to his good character, and he may he a good man, for aught I know to to the contrary.” “Oh, thank you for that, a thousand times!” exclaimed tire Queen, and hastily writing “Par doned, in targe letters on the fatal page,she sent k across the table with a hand trembling with | eagerness and beautiful emotion.

"Impossible sir !" exclaimed t oloncl A allace, who had all his life maintained tlie most rigid adherence to obedience—"unpss siblc! hi us see.” Ho then called for a light, pulled the instructions from his pocket, and hav ing read them, said, “Oh.no, not impossible, the order is positive.” The result evinced the effica cy ot the order, and also afforded another proof that implicit oliedience, when accompanied by devoted zeal, will in general overcome every dilli culiy. Atmos cm in i c Resistance to Ktium Tuainh.—This subject seems to be receiving considerable attention among English Engineers. An article in the London Railway Magazine for June, slates that the resistance of the atmosphere to a railway train in rapid motion, not only tends te retards its progress, hut causes the ears to have an oscillating motion. It becomes an im portant question what figure should lie given to the cars, so ns to meet the least resistance. The writer says that projections or recesses on the sides or tops of the ears, increase the atmospher ic, resistance more than would he at, first ima gined. The experiments that have been made, lead to the inference that the resistai.ee may he diminished l>y change of form and arrangement, in a surprising degree. If this can lie done, an immense sa>ing of locomotive power, and the reduction of wear and tear of engines, &c. will be gained. Hollanders make butter which preserved as long as their gin. They use no sail, ■ hut liy careful working and heavy pressure, ab stract every particle of the buttermilk, which is the great cause of rancidity ; and then liy putting the pure oleaginous matter hcrmeticaMy scaled, they secure it against change for a long period ol time, in any climate. Butter purged of moisture either from the milk or dissolved salt, will keep for years, if excluded from the air; and it is shameful that so much had butler should lie sent to market, in every thirty pounds of wl lieh there will lie at least a pint ol fluid to conupt I he whole .mass. . ■ _ / tWhiiame Iruniiinr,, ex-ernpressof Mnxico, is at the White Sulphur Springs, Virginia. In one of Frederick the Great’s battles, the horse ol his nephew was killed by a cannon ball, and it was at first thought the rider was also slain. “Ah !” said the king, riding by without slopping “there is the Prince of Prussia killed—lest Ids saddle and bridle be taken care ol!” “Teddy, mo boy, jisl guess how many cheese there is in this ’ere bag, an faith I II give ye whole five.” “ Five, to be sure,” says Teddy. “ Arrali inusha, by me sowl, bad luck to the man that lould ye!” “Stick no bills here,” as the loafer said to the musquitos. “I’ve got a hilt against yon,’ a s the woodjicck cr said to the apple tree.

I wonder, dear, bow you supposed That I could look so low ; There’s many a one can lie a knot. Who cannot fix a beau. Besides, you must confess, my love, The bargain scarcely fair, Nor never could wc make a match, Although wo made a pair. Marriage, I know, makes one of two; But hero’s the horrid bore, My friends declare if you are one, That I, at least, am four. ’Tis true, the moralists have said That love has got no eyes ; But why should all my sighs he heaved For one who has no size 1 And on our wedding day I’m sure 1 d leave you in the lurch, For you never saw a steeple, dear, In the inside of a church. ’Tis usual for a wife to take Her husband by the arm, But pray excuse me should I hint, A sort of loud alarm, That when I oiler you my arm, That happiness to beg, Your highest effort, dear, would be To take me by the leg. I do admit I wear a glass, Because rny sight’s not good, But were I always quizzing you, I might be counted rude; And though I use a concave lens— By all the gods! I hope My wife will ne’er look up to me Through Herschcl’s telescope. Then fare thee well, my gentle one; I ask no parting kiss ; I must not break rny hack to gain •So exquisite a bliss ! Nor will I weep, lest I should hurt So delicate a flower— The tears that fall from such a height Would l>e a thunder shower. Fareweil! and pray don’t drown yourself In a basin or a tub, For that would lie a sore disgrace To ail tiie Six Feet Club; But if you ever love again, Love on a smaller plan, For why extend to six feet three A life tliat’s but a span I Consignees per Month CaVuiina Kail Hoad. ilAMDuac.
