Skinner, in his "Excursions in India," gives the following instance of the prejudices and ftuperstitions, which, in eome countries prevail, against, women: "It i an nrticle of faith with the orthodox in the eastern countries, that no evil takes place of which a woman is not j the first cause." "Who is she!" a Kaiah was al ways in the habit of asking, whenever a calamity was related to him, however severe cr however trivial. His attendants reported to him one morning that a laborer had fallen from a caflbld when working at Irs palace and had broken his neck. "Who is she" immediately demanded the Rajah. "A man; no woman great Prince!" was tho reply. "Who is she!" repeated with increased anger, was &U the Rajah deigned to utter. In vain did the servants assert the manhood of the laborer. "Bring me instant intelligence what woman caused this acci- i i v , 1 i . i , trated themselves, cried out, "O wise and wonderful Prince!" Well, who is she!" interrupted he. "As the ill-fated laborer was working on the scaffold he was attractod by one of your llifrhnessea damsel?, and gazing upon her, lost his balance and fell to the ground," "You hear now," said the Prince that no acciueui can uappen without a woman m some way being an instrument." Sublimity. Among the editorial paragraphs perpetrated in these times of political excitement and fury, it does one's soul good to meet w ith .-m:ething excellent. Sublimity is sublimity, the world over, f n tbe following specimen from a weekly paper published "up country," the reader will discover "words that burn:' "About 2 o'clock, the fleecy clouds darkened the arched heavens, looking tearfully portentous; and the -roarlnjr of mighty Jove's artillery, gave dreadful note of preparation, and t?.3 red forked lightning's flash, admonished ti to close the cassments, as it ever and anon searched every nook and corner of the town. At length the suspense was for rr 7' a F-1 sus,peT brokc-andhe flof opened , upon torrents poured, until the streets of o torrents of our irood and sober village were washed as clean as a .hntuckct wife's fireside preparing fr a jonricy cake."

The Washington Correspondent cf the Portland Advertiser, thus notices a recent debate in the House of Representatives on the Appropriation bill: "Cambreleng arose, ns grave as a reverend owl, and shook his head, and looked wise, and was sorry to hear the gentleman from Indiana say eo and so. The gentleman from Indiana pricked up his cars and was saucier still. Mr. Polk gave a cut at "the gen

tleman from Indiana and "the crentleman from Pennsylvania" too looked things unutterable, but spoke them in feathery words. And so the debate run on, as water runs down a hill, or the fountain flows in front of the capitol but the there was not much in it, till Col. Crockett arose. Now every pen was dropped every head was aroused every eye was fixed every whisper was hushed! None but orators can throw such a calm over the stormy waters and therefore the Colonel must be an orator. Friends and enemies rallied around. The galleries hurrieJ to the ballustrades and the Colonel began. There are some men whom you cannot report. The Col. is one. His leer you cannot put upon paper his curious drawl; the odd cant of his body, and his self-congratulation. He is an original in every thing, in tiie tone and structure of his sentences; in the force and novelty of his metaphors, and his range of ideas. ''1 thought," said tho Colonel, "when in 162o, the gentleman from New-York (Mr. C.) was for cutting down the oilice of draughtsman, it was reforming a little to got more. It was like the children on the branch of a rrreat tree fish ing with a pin hook to catch minnows. It was like j shearing a hog; great squeal and little wool." j Mr. McDuffie's most potent thunder, llurgs' wit, j llinney's logic, could not have won such a burit ot of applause from magnates of the land. The Col. sat down with delight; and the members here and there gave him a shake of the hand, as they often do when a man does a wonderful thins:." Fort wayne, I a. May 3.

A groat . aeil3tlion was projucct in South Rend on Tuctday week by the arrival of the steamboat Matilda Ihr f,om xcwburvpoit, at tho mouth of the St. Uosepirs River.

Horrible murder. Information was given to Alderman Guier, on Friday evening of the murder of John Flitckcr, who hud resided at the house ol George Gill, Soulhwaik. Alderman Guier promptly communicated with Alderman Longhead, ol Moymiensiiig; who, with police officer McLoan, rrpiireil to th; premises of s ihl Gill, and on reinov.i .u .! n . .t i r . r mg tho earth in tiie cellar, at the depth of-ii feet, discovered a corpse, and at once arrested Gill, the pctson charged with the murder, and apprised the i coroner; who, summoning a jury, chs ntern d the body, and it proved to be that of John Fletche r. Too much praise cannot be given to Alderman Guier and Longhead, for th'.ir promptness in bringing to light this horrible transaction. Tho jury, after a full investigation of tiie case, returned a verdict, that the deceased came to his death by violent blows on tho head, and a stab in the neck, given by tho said Gill U. S. (Jaiette.

.Vovil Feat. Th York (P.) Republican of Wednesday, mentions a novel feat, performed by a enkce, at that place, a few dovs bince. Early in the morning an argumcut took place between a Vankco stranger and a resident of the borough, in relation to the merits of masonry and anti-masonry. At last the opponent of the Yankee becoming somewhat irritated, offered his antagonist five dollars, if he would

it upon a vot ut the door of the Hotel, in the open 'street, and lecture upon anti-masonry from that timo until the scttin:? cf the urn. '1 he l ankee met tho proposition at once; the money being staked, ho mounted, not the rostrum, but the post, and there ho sat reading anti-masonry to a multitude of boy, and now und then to a passing adult. Towards noon ho was offered one dollar and a bottle of wino if he would get down, which he refused. About noon ho was ottered two dollars and a half if he would descend; but he stuck to his bargain until the un had entirely descended the horizon, ami ho obtained his rive dollars before quitting his pott. 1 Fire.

It is Ptrongly suspected to be the work of an incendiary. Indiana .Imerica i, .VayO. 1li-mhu,(Tenn.) April t'L A daring and horrid outrage was perpetrated here lm night.
