I The great Chartist Meeting, sreeably to notire, was held at London on the 10th Inst., and ; although by far the largest meeting ever held in the Metropolis, everything pawed off quietly. ' There were upwards of two hundred thousand neopfe present. The petition was presented to ; e. .. . n. .. .. . . .i i Parliament by the Deputation through Mr. Fergns O'Connel. j The Revolters, overawed for the present by the Government, remained quiet, but active pre- ! parations were going on for a Revolution The goimmttli8 and blacksmiths throughout the couhfFy were mostly engaged in manufacturing ' rtrms, the supply of which was rapidly increas- i ing. The peasantry were everywhere practi-' Ing shooting, and in other respects making themselves acquainted with the use of arms. j The Repeal papers are very violent and contiHi to urge the people to action. j ) connel had an interview with Lord John Ru-wll, and it is said that he asked large con- ; cessions, which the Hon. Lord refused, aud in- , timated that in doing so he only expressed the , Intentions of the Government. ; Denmark commenced a war with the Duchies of Holsteln and Shleswig, and a fierce battle was fought near Fleusbnrgh, in which the Danes were victorious. The loss on both sides was heavy. The Prussian troops were ordered to advance to support Holsteln; and the intention was, should the King of Denmark retaliate by stopping their passige round, to invade his territories. This will undoubtedly lead to warm work between the Danes and Prussians.

City of Mexico, April 8th. An idea seems to have taken possession of the Mexicans relative to the appointment of Mr. Sevier as Minister or Commissioner to Mexico, which is pleasing to them in the extreme, and which, if report be true, is calculated to posiJ pone for awhile an exchange of the ratification 1 1 did not know until yesterday why the Mexicans, I mean those of influence and information, seemed so well pleased that a Commissioner was I coming out from Washington, but a few mo- ' menu conversation with a mitive more candid than general, let me into the secret, i He says it is very generally believed, that Col.

The ! Mexicans are diplomatists by nature, uncruputo truth, and consequently likely to get the Setter of men who, fair thenmlves, believe ll'rs to be so.

They ; r ; a queer people, these greasers. Oue hour the political horizon will look bright and clear, and" the next dark elouds will obscure it, keep ing us, who are unused to such changes, on a constant look out to catch even au idea of what is coming. The same may be said of the press of the country; to-day you will read that but four or five members are needed for a quorum at Queretaro, and to-morrow in the same paper see a sancuiue hows expressed that in the course 0f the next month enough will be preseut to ! proceed to business. jn vipw cf thhlj correspondents must not be Wamed or eemei disciples of Tristam Fickle, If they do not rust to a poillt. u cannot done , ,,, .

The Indiana State Journal, which for a long time has been numbered among the "Taylor or gan has at length abandoned its "first love" ! .. . and now goes it strong for Judge McLean for President. The reasons assigned by the Journal for taking down Taylor and putting up McLean are first, because Gen. Taylor will not consent to receive a nomination nt the hands of a national Convention, and second because he will not agree to stand as the exponent of the doctrines of the whig party. Well, for a political editor tnese are good and sullioicnt reasons. But in this respect is Gen. Taylor more objectionable than Judge McLean? Who can say that the Judge has pledged himself to submit 1o a National Convention, or in the event of his election ! i,.r ii wn. i :i j -. . . . . , by the Whig party he will regard il as his duty t to carry out Whip measures? In 1S31, Mr. McLean was counted os of the '.democratic household, and was put forward for rrwidrntby a portion of the Jackson party in opposition to Mr. Van; but the Little Magician was too many for him, and so completely headed him in the affections of the party, as to frghten the Judge from the track. From the time of this "heading" the friends of the Judge date his return to the Whig ranks. The friends of of the Judge then, somewhat like the friends of j G"n - Taylor now, put him forward as an inde- j . ti. i. -a pendent candidate; and in many of the States, J ' ns in some of the counties, where Jaeksonism completely overslauiihtered every thing else, many members of the Whig party, who held a half a loaf to be better thin no bread, warmly espoused his cause. It was whilst the Judge occupied this position that he addressed a letter to a gentleman in a neighboring county, from which any one who may feel an Interest in the subject may learn the estimation in which Judge M. held national conventions or caucuses. From this letter we make an extract or two for the benefit of our young readers who may not be familiar with the political history of that day 111 "T'y 10 no quesnon ns to wnetner he Tn .,J.e -A a. a- .1.al - 1 . : .... i. . ,... i.ii . .-. ..i mr .ieisi..i u a ...,11. in- t , Convention," Judge McLean snvs: "Whether I shall become a cxndidute or not will depend entirely on the voluntary action of the people. The choice of their public servants in my opinion, belongs to the people, and not to those who, from selfish views, may assume the responsibility of acting for them. "I am opposd lo a National Cn-icus or Convention now, as I was in eighteen hundred and twenty-three, when an attempt was made, thro its influence, to elect a President of the United State. 'A National Convention is contrary fo the established nsages of the democratic party. It has a direct tendency to place the whole politicorrupt influence, the whole action and policy i j ofthognvernmont. We. know that it may be slid in extenuation of this paragraph that the Jndce was at that time spenkintr as a locofoco, and had reference to locofoco national conventions. We are aware of this, but still we do not see how the principle is thereby changed. But where, we ask, as a Whiff, has he spoken differently? Will any I one point us to the public document In which he has given his assent to abide the decision of a tirt.- .- , r .. Whig National Convention, or, in the event of i . , .. .. .. his election anv assurance that he will use his i influence to carry out Whig measures? Even . BR ,te (wp Miev)) no waa rMeA Whig thenO in a letter published in the National Intelligencer of Sept. 30, he says: "I do not desire and would not receive the Presidency if within my reach, ns the instrument of a party. Indeed I should count it no honor to have my name associated with the downward course of our Government, and such j a course is accelerated, by ultra-partyism. To bring back the Government to its old founda-j tions, to restore its lost character, its former purity, energy and elevation would he an achievment second only to thai of Washington an acliievment which would make any individual the favored son of bis country. Of this who would not be prond T And short of this object no honest man can desire the Presidencv." Now we would ask the Indiana State Journal, or any other McLean paper that may chooso to give attention, if Gen. Taylor's recent letters npon the subject of tho Presidency, which havo rrrado him objectfonable as a Whig candidate, are not almost litcra! paraphrases of the paragraph first tbove quoted? Gen. Taylor says he will not be the candidate of a party, and in doing so he but reiterates what Judge McLean has said before him. On the while we think Gen. Taylor's Wh:ggery and reliability in every way equal to that of Judge McLean, and if the Whig party Intend to consult only "expediencyn in selecting a candidate, they had as well take the one as the other.

SZTDriuking water neither makes a man sick, nor in debt, or his wife a widow unless he drinks it too strong with the ardent "Aftrr Tic, the Dclugr." ' These are the prophetic words of Metternich when contemplating his surrender of Austrian power. They are fulfilled all ready. Each steam-bnglet is more wonderful than its predecessor. The wonder grows, where shall be the end of such portentous beginning? "In fifty years," said Napoleon, with the solitary inspiration of St Helena, "Europe wil 1 be Republican or Cossack."

The storm must soon burst over Germany and Italy. The great German heart is sound the warm Italian blood hi alert, and, with Englaud, loosening her cables to the title, and disinclined to interfere, we cannot doubt the issue. Meanwhile our mission is Teace, to feed the combatants for the rights of man. They have tlie human force let us nourish them.

To lisp in a baby style, when the same words, in au 'endearing tone, would please as well; tho reverse should be the voice clear, emphatic, and each syllable distinctly articulated for imitation, 2. To tell of witches, ghosts and goblins; such superstitions, impressed upon young minds, are rarely gotten rid of. 3. To direct children to act like men; whereas it is not often becoming for a little boy lo ape the man, but not only to conform his demeauor to his age; every age has its own peculiar deco-loitsnei-s-New England Galaxy. i

Departed this life, on the morning of Sunday last, after an illnea of three weeks, Mrs. ELIZABETH CLARKSON, wife of C. F.Clarkson, aged 33 years Early in life Mrs. Clarkson became a profes sor of the Christian Religion, and joined the Presbyterian Church, of which she remained member uutil her death. Her life was in all re- ' spects consistent with her profession. Modest t ! and unobtrusive, he was firm In her religious opinions, and regular in the discharge of her christian duties. Her domestic and social qualities endeared her to a large circle of relations and friends, while her modesty, sincerity and kindness of heart commanded the respect of those who were occasionally thrown into her Company. Those who shared her confidence and knew from long intimacy the depth and vigor of her religious principles, cannot doubt thatshe now enjoys the Inheritance of the saints in light. Her departure in the noontide of her life leaves a widowed husband, and four motherlos children, to whom her memory will be precious, and her example a constant incentive to an humble, quiet, uniform christian life. May He who ii til icts us for our good, conduct by his grace and Providence the little family she has lell behind; and in their maturer years, may her children joyfully apply to themselves the beau tiful language of Cowper: 1 'Tis not my boast that I deduce my birth From loins enthroned ,nnd princes of the earth; Cut higher fir my proud pretensions rise, The child of parents passed into the bklcs."
