The Rev. I)r. Hawks, of New York,

’ he related the following story aipfßeg

Among those.” he observed “who

X'This widow was one of the volunteers
■on this errand of mercy. She. was

now rests in an unknown grave, thus
left, her only son, the sole survivor of

upon which he promised to enforce

keep his promise to the people ? “ e
trie/*/*"!, he ‘.vili. We trust that he
wi r il only remonstrate promptly
an<f*9ergeiically against this act ol
British aggression, hut will do some
thing more. The Executive has no
power to declare war. But he has
power to do something better, and
thereby to throw the responsibility of
a war with the United States upon the
British Government; a responsibility
which that Government will not dare
to assume. He can promptly and se
cretly send a minister to the Central
American States, to n gotiate with
each a treaty of annexation to the
United Siates.
As these five Central American
States have had enough of Europe,
and more especially of England we
have little doubt about, the cordial ac
quiescence of each in this object.—
Those Ntates-alone are not strong
enough to repel the piratical aggres
sion ut England and would therefore
rejoice in ihe protection of a much
more powerful nation that would
guarantee jail her local rights. Only
jn the Uiwted States can they fin'd
this nation, and only through annex
ation. indlrporation, can they obtain
such protection, And where would
such annexation leave England, with
all her pputtcaj obiectsJE~-SJiT>, would

Tin-. ’I s <f i*.cs‘t,
Tho lasi number of t lie Democratic I
Review is ornamented (?) with a por-!
trait of Mr. Bennett, of the Herald,
it must he confessed that. Bennell is j
not a handsome man. The Louisville j
Journlil, himself none of the handsom-!
est. pViki s fun al Ids likeness in the !
following pitiless style ;
There’ s one thing we will readily I
admit,] and that is. that, if Bennett's
portrait he correct, he is I lie ugliest of j
the Democratic editors. For awhile
we doubted whether he or a certain j
neighbor of ours is the ugliest mortal, j
but lire twist in the eyes of Bennell
decides the contest in his favor. We
neighbor that there
i- one editol?D>glier than himself in the
Democratic ranks.
Bennett’s portrait is terrific. Such
a thing ought never to he painted or
daguerreotyped. L ought lo he con
sidered a penal offence to make any
thing so revolting to all our ideas ol
propriety. No man has a right to
monopolize so much ugliness. Il Ben
nett’s ugliness could he distributed
over a thousand faces, it would make
each of them intensely, hatefully ugly.
Heought. not to be permitted to iso into
the streets without a blanket over his
awful frontispiece. No ■ > der that
so many of the New York children
die of convulsions, since Bio.ml isper
mitted to walk abroad wiili uncovered
face. W e once heard of a man’s face
that was so ugly that ii was placed on
andirons for the purpose ol frightening
children from the fire with much ell’ect.
No child dared lo approach the andi
rons and the liability to combustion
from such cause was greatly lessened.
If Bennett’s ugly likeness were stamped
on fire-places the effect would be de
cidedly bad, for the children would not
dare to go near enough to the lire to
keep warm and would become frost
bitten and perhaps frozen to death.
We cannot conceive of any reason
why anything should he so ugly as
Bennett. He is uglyer than a half
starved hyena, lie is ugliness per
I'ected. Ther<* is a thoroughness about
his ugliness which defies competition.
Wh-n Mirabeau described himself as
a tiger that had had the small-pox he
placed a very ugly idea in everybody’s
mind, bm it was .•beautiful when com
pared with Bennett’s lace.
It is not the height to which men
are advanced that makes them giddy ;
it is the looking down with contempt
upon those below them.

Death From tiiij Want of Sleep.—
How long can one, live without sleep ?
This question we have never seen ans
werctl. But an authentic communi
cation has been made to a British so
ciety whose field of operations are in
Asia, descriptive of a punishment
which : s peculiar to the original code
o China. I appears from this com
munication, that a Chinese Merchant
had been convicted of murdering his
wile, and was sentenced to die by be
ing totally deprived of the privilege of
going to sleep. This singular and
painful mode of quitting an earthly
existence was carried into execu ion
tit Anmy under the following circum
stances ;
The condemned was placed in pris
on um'er the care of tllre*-of the pol
ice guard, who relieved each other
every alternate hour, and who pie
vented the prisoner lr"m falling aH-mp
for a single moment, night, or day.—
He thus lived for nineteen days, with
out enjoying any sl-op.
At the commencement of the eight
day his .sufferings were so cruel that, he
implored the authorities to grant him
the blessed opportunity of being stran
gulated, garroted. gullotined, hurtled
to death, drowned, quartered shot,
blown up with gunpowder <>r put to
death in any conceivable way which

not go to sleep.

earthly beauty. Now if any Appelles
or artist of any appellation, wished to
make the most indubitable perfect
representation of ugliness, he would
not be compelled to take features from
several very ugly persons, but all he
would bt compelled to do would be t<>
get Bennett’s face, and she enterprise
would be acc mplished.

Rail road, wi ll a capital stock of 812,-

tion of some lew winter months, at
the rate of one, cent per mile. The
Harlem Railroad doe’s the same, and
both roa expect to, sustain themselves
by doing a large, business upon small
profits. To shew that tbe idea is a
lea-able one. the. following calcula
tion has been made ol the compara
nd ivc cost of carrying a small and
large number of passer gers .
” The cost of running a passenger
train with forty passengers a hundred

Would he. only the expense of running

529; while the receipts at one and a
quarter cents rx-r mile, one-half of the ,
above rates, Would be ©102.50 leaving
a nett incoir,e. of $73.50. In like man
tier the cost of a train with one hun

to be only s3l. and the receipts at
one cent per mile would be 3120. icav

from these figures that if low fares in

never forget. “Mr. Eaton (said Gen;
Jackson) has greatly erred in his do

says I had a ‘strong breast-work of
cotton bags.’ There was no! a bag of
cotton on the field sir! 1 had sonic
