COM 71 L W I CATI OX S. The Central Canal and John Carlisle.

The Diiblic have been addressed in the name of Tohn Carlisle, in a communication which was published in the Sentinel dated the Jd of Sept. The object of that publication m to cast censure upon the otticers of State, whose duty it is to take care of the State interest connected with that work. The Canal Ageat is most roughly abused, and charged with neglect and incapacity. To those unacquainted with tue state of facU, thee charges rnajr seem true, and '. -ttref re require some correction. Ju'in Carusle i a miller, and owns & mill at Indi-a;i--:Is, which mill i supplied with water from the laital. II-' leises Iiis water pwer from the State, a.id I am n,fVr!:-d ihut he leases only enough of water power fur f.u-- run of toues, fjr which he pays on ..iudrt-d - ü i i:t".v Jolla-s per year per run. Not-w;tl:-:t j th!;- Mr. tjifii pays for only fr four run of sues i.' and ha im en in tiie habit of using water f r fiv:t ti.e to six run of stones, and refuses t a.-couut or pay for this excess. It is true that the water in the Canal is much impeded by a peculiar grass or moss, wb:ch grows from its bottoms, and which the ingenuity and power of no man has been adequate to remove. This, in a dry time, makes the supply of water uncertain, and somewhat deficient ; but Mr. Carlisle seems to act upon the principle that he must have a full supply for as many run of stones as he chooses to use, let the consequences be what they may to others. When his water gauges have been set by the State Engineer, he has not hesitated to change and enlarge them, and thus appropriate more of the water than his lease called for. Carlisle has been always quarrelling with other water renters, and complaining of State officers and ogtnts, because they objected to his plundering the State at his pleasure, and frequently do them damage. Carlisle lately prevailed upon the State officers to let him make an improvement upon the Canal at the aqueduct over Fall Creek, and he now presents a bill fur three hundred dol lars, for doing the work which other offered to perform for one hundred dollars, which account is suspended, and therefore Carlisle ff.-ls very wrathy, and britig? charges against the State oiheers. Perhaps he would like to be Canal Agent himself, or to have some one appointed who would be subject to his wishes. If he should succeed in eitntr cae, no doubt, from his firmer practices, the public interests would be attended to with a vengeance. From lo.ig indulgence, he has grown impudent, and I now recommend to the next legislature, the enactment of such laws as will make such men as Carlisle feel that they must conform to the stipulations of their leases. If I could or would be the supple instrument of Carlisle in the discharge of my duties, perhaps he would not rail so much at my in competence. I have hitherto treated him as a gentleman, although I well knew that he was continually attempting to impose upon the btate and the people, As to the contract with Mr. Earl for cutting the grass, that contract was let to the lowest bidder by the officers of State, with which contract I had no connexion. I have kept and can exhibit a proper account for every cent of money which I have ever received or paid out, and an account which will probably be fully as acceptable to the public as Carlisle's accounts with his customers generally are. My accounts, toll dishes, measures and weights are seldom disputed or complained of, although my scholarship may not be as thorough as Carlisle's. I shall make no further remarks at present, but content myself by appending the following certificates from gentlemen who are above the reach of Mr. Carlisle's malice, and whose testimony he cannot successfully impeach. Tiie two first certificates, Ncs. 1 and 2, are from two gentlemen who were millers for Carlisle at the time of which they speak. The certificate numbered 3 is from Messrs. West and Perham, who are manufacturers, and are well acquainted With the labor done by me, and the management of work on the Canal. Certificate No. 4 is from the State engineer, a gentleman so well known that his word is conclusive testimony as far as he certifies. Certificate No. 5 is from Wm. Sheets well known as an honorable man. There is also on file in the Auditor's office, a certificate of Mr. Burk, late Agent of the Canal, which bears ample testimony to my exertions, and which compliments me for the manner in which I have managed the works. Take this mass of testimony against the ill-natured remarks of Mr. Carlisle, and if more is required, I can produce the certificates of every water renter as to the fidelity with which I have discharged my duties as Canal Agent on the Central Canal.

He has to my personal knowledge been faithful and attentive in the discharge of bis dunes ; and no perton could, under the circumstance!, have given more satisfaction lo all concerned than he has. I for one protest against his removal knowing that it would not be possible to find any person mare capable, than he his proved himself to be. I opposed Mr. Brown's appointment to said situation (snd merely from bis want of experience and energy as I thought,) and am now bsppy to be able to add my name to a certificate of his industry and care used in the discharge of bis duties, and confess lhat I have been much deceived in my judgment of his qualifications. NATH. WEST. MiiiDH Factobt, 23J May, 1845. Having been called upon this morning by Mr. B. Brown ' express my opinion in regard lo his management as Superintendent of the Central Canal for the past year, I 1a most cheerfully state, thst so far as I am able to judge, 'hat be has endeavored to perform his duty faithfully to the State by every necessary attention to the condition of he works at all times, and that his course of conduct towards the water-renters has been entirely impartial, and iuch as ought to be satisfactory lo every individual conearned. JAMES PERHAM. (Certificate No. 4 ) Ma. D. Crows Sir.- At your request. I state, thst some time during the summer I wss requested by the officers of State to furnish to the lessees of water power at Indianapolis, such plans and specifications as I might derm suitable for a permaneut regulating weir for their mills and when such weirs should he constructed, I was directed to measure to each lessee the amount of water he was entitled lo. I gave plans for SheeU's. Carlisle's, and West's mills. Thee weirs were erected, but the exact fl -at cf water never adjusted, owing to the difficulty of g tting a sufficient bead of water in the Canal. Some four or five weeks since on my return from the railroad, I was informed that the weirs at Carlisle's mills hid been partly torn down, s.) as to draw water from a lower level. This was done as I was informed, on the plea that there was a deficiency of water in the Canal, owing to olwtroctions by grass. - Believing it lo be useless to make any measurement of the water until the weirs could be kept up aa directed, I advised tha Auditor of State to postpone the measurement until a law could be passvd by the next Legislature, giving explicit authority to regulate the whole matter. I have frequently exatninej repairs yea have made on the Canal, and believe tbey were dictated by economy, and a proper regard to the permanent protection of the CanaL Respectfully, T. A. MORRIS. Mb. B. Brow Sir: At your request, I will give you the reasons thst induced me to remove the weir, which had been erected by order of Mr. Morris, Engineer. The board directed that weirs of equal height should be erected at each of iha mills, and lhat the width should be in proportion to the qaantity of water to which each was milled. When the water in the canal is 3 feet, the fall at the paper-m II is 6 J feet, and at Mr. Carlisle's 16 j feet -the former having a breast wheel, and the latter an overshot, so that ibe water to which eich 1 entitled i as 6 j to 11, besides the difference in the kind of wheel, so lhat the width of the weir at the paper mill should be about three times ss wide as that of Mr. Carlisle's, to afford the am amount of power. The weir at the paper mill was constructed about thirty-five feet wide, and at Mr. Carlisle's ab.ot the same width perhaps five foet less. I cai.ed upon Mr. Morris to direct Mr. Carlisle to contract his to the proper dimensions; he informed roe be had directed him to contract ten fet this be failed lo do. During Mr. Morris's absence, the waler f.ileJ in the canal; tb consequence was, that the paper mill was stopped,

measurably, while Mr. C. had full power. During this state of the case, I cal'ed at Mr. Carlu e'e mill and lound five run of stones in full operation. I immediately called on Mr. Harris, Mr. Mayhew being absent, for Iheir interference. He informed me that be doubted whether, under the law, they had any power to control him. I then asked him whether ibey thus would exercise control over me, in relation to the weir, and if they would not, I hould remove one of the logs. He saiJ I was free to act as I pleased. I accordingly removed the weir. Mr. (Carlisle has leased water for four run of stones. He has sit run in h mill, to my personal knowledge; be hs run five pair at a time, and I am informed lhat he has run sis, but of this I know nothing personally. Respectfully, your obedient servant, WM. SHEETS.

The Hon. Hubert J. Walker. There is a portion of the federal prints throughout the Cniun, who have lately mnde this gentleman, and his ofhcul acts as Secretary of the Ireasury, the sub ject of much animadversion. Why he alone from the entire Cabinet of the President, should have been sin gled out for a simultaneous attack by the leading whig papers throughout the country, has created not a little surprise in the mind of those who are unacquainted with the tactics of such papers as the National Intelligencer, the New York Tribune, the Courier and Inquirer, the Express, and others of the same kidney. To such a one the enquiry would be a natural one, why Robert J. Walker should particularly be made the subject of crimination ! To those, however, who are acquainted with whig difficulties with their mode of reasoning upon the subject of partizan warfare, it is not strange, that this gentleman, distinguished as he is in the foremost ranks of the democratic party, beloved and herished as he is by that party I say it is not strange that he should be calumniated and vilified, his private as well as public life, the daily theme of a whig ed.torial. It is a part of the policy of the whig press, in the utter destitution and despair to which the party is now driven, to attack in detail, sensible as they are that nothing can be made out of a general sortie upon the administration. They design to cut it up piece-meal to kill off if possible by a sort of bush righting, its prominent members, and to hold up to the public indignation if they can, by a series of unfounded calumnies, those who enjoy its highest confidence. Hence their late attacks upon Robert J. Walker. They cannot forget, for they know full well, that to him more than any other living man it was owing, that oil was thrown upon the waters in the Baltimore Convention, when that Convention was distracted and divided by the conflicting claims of the distinguished individuals who were in nomination before it. They cannot forget, for they know full well, that to his tact and perseverance it was mainly owing that the two-third rule was adopted by the same convention by which the unanimous nomination of Folk and Dallas, and the consequent success of the democratic party in the last November election was effected. They know full well, that to Robert J. Walker more than to any other individual in the Republic, is the country indebted for the peaceful annexation of Texas, thereby adding another glorious star to the confederacy. Ibey can not forgive, what they know full well, that to his action and management in the United States Senate, to bis skill and tact, it was mainly owing, that the question of annexation, at one time deemed most doubtful on the final vote, was ultimately carried in the Senate by the union of the proposition from the House with that from the Senate in the same resolutions, thus securing the votes of two Senators, without whose votes the resolutions could not have been carried. They cannot forget, that as Secretary of the Treasury it is his duty a duty which he owes to his party and his country, aside from all legislative enactment, to examine the details of the tariff act of 1342 to prune its federal excrepencies, and to report to Congress how and where its details, so unjust and oppressive as they now are, may be so amended, curtailed and reduced, as to bring it to the constitutional standard of a revenue tariff. This duty they know full well he will perform faithfully and ably, without fear, favor, or affection for any interest, sive that of his country. So long therefore as "Iordecai sits at the Kings gate," it availeth them nothing to endeavor to bolster up the fallen fortunes of a bloated aristocracy. They can no longer spoil the people by act of parliament, or rob the community by an indirect taxation for the benefit of a few. What better reasons can a Whig editor give for his abuse of Robert J. Walker! Or what can more endear him to the de mocracy of the Union than an attack from such a quarter 1 L. We feel obliged to the Indianapolis Sentinel, for the very handsome and complimentary terms in which it has been pleased to speak of this paper, but we beg leave to correct a mistake which the editor of that paper has made, (accidentally we suppose.) If he will be so good as to refer to the head of the Princeton Chronicle, he will find thst it is devoted to Agriculture, Literature, General Neirs, and Amusement, and not to any sect or party. Indeed, so far from the Princeton Chronicle being a Democratic paper, we would beg leave to state, that the Editor is as uncompromising a Whig as can be found in all the land. But he does not pretend to advocate either Wiiggery or Democracy, and the Democrat is as welt-orr.e to the use of his columns, in any fair and honorable discussion of politics, as the Whig. The Chronicle is a 6trictly neutral paper, and is conducted on strictly neutral grounds. Although we feel indebted to the Editor of the Sentinel, for Ihe recom mendation which he has been good enough to give us, we hope he will have the kindness to correct this er ror, as it is calculated to mislead the public mind in reference to this paper, or its relative standing to the two parties.

Wabaih Courier. How benighted must the mind of this Whig be, compared with the illumination which shines upon his party generally. After all they have told him, he writes about the people paying. Don't he know that the Whigs just put on a Tariff and make England pay it. In case of war with England, we are going to employ the Whigs to break her up with high duties, and thereby get every dollar of her money, and spend it in whipping her. Nobody on earth could perform this feat, but this editor's party ; and our Government will keep them just for this purpose. The editor must be blinded a little with Democracy. Louisville Dem. 07"ilr. Owen's eulogy on Gen. Jacksov, delivered at Terre Haute, on the 20th of September, is published at length in the Indiana State Sentinel. It is an elo quent and rnost beautiful production, and does honor to the head and heart of its mot able and high-minded author, whose every act shows his worth, and points out his future elevation to the loftiest places within the gift of a people capable of appreciating excellence of the rarest kind. Ohio Statesman. Turpentine Region. We have great advantages in our country that almost every section is distinguished for some valuable production. Thus, the pine barrens of North Carolina are yielding a plentiful harvest of Rosin and Turpentine. Last year the Turpentine distilleries yielded 200,000 barrels Valued at 100,000. In raw material 75,000 barrels were shipped. Tar 20,000 barrels valued at $013,000 from this region alone.

they have been related to us, are about as follows

After some difficulty deceased procured bail, and the case so remained until Monday of last week, when the individual who stood security, becoming alarmed from some cause, went to deceased and told him that he was unwilling to stand bail longer for him, and unless he could rind other security he must go to jail. Deceased then commenced getting ready to come to this place in order to be surrendered into the hands of the Sheriff, but was suddenly taken ill, when a messenger was despatched to this place for Dr. Reed, who on arriving found that deceased had taken a large quantity of laudanum and was rapidly sinking under its effects. The usual antidotes were resorted to, and by close attention and care, his life was saved. On Wednesday the security again went to deceased and expressed his determination to deliver him up to the Sheriff, but while they were making preparations to start to town, he was again taken suddenly ill. He told the friends that it was useless to send for a physician that he had rather die than go to jail, and had taken sufficient corrosive sublimate to kill two men. In two hours he was dead. We understand deceased has a wife living in Madison county, from whom he has been separated for some time. He was about 40 years of age. Xeiccastle la. Courier, Oct. 4. Immense Robbery 28,000 Stoles. A gentleman named Reuben Rowley, of Wrentham, Mass., who came passenger in the steamboat Massachusetts, this morning from Boston, was robbed of his valise and pocket-book, containing $7,8t'0. The money consisted of ten 000 notes, four on the Suffolk Bank, Mass., four on the Merchant's Bank, Mass., and two on the Shawmut Bank, Mass. $6000 on the Wrentham Bank in 100's and 50's ; $10U0 in New York City and State money in tens and fives. The money was contained in five packages of $50(X) each, and one of $2,300. His statement is, that when the boat was near Hurl Gate he was accosted by a young man who invited him to take part of a peach which he had divided for that purpose. Mr. Rowley took the fruit and in a tew minutes alter eating it, he was seized with a sudden sickness and was obliged to receive the assistsnce of his new acquaintance to get down stairs where he fell asleep and so remained until the boat arrived at the wharf in this city, and all the passengers had lett. From this time he lost sight of his quandom friend, w ho it appears had not only picked his pocket during his attentions, but had likewise obtained and made off with his valise which he obtained, from the luggage car, upon arrival at the dock. The supposed thief is a slim well made young man about ö teet Pi inches high, dark hair and eyes, short black whiskers, genteelly dressed in a black dress coat, satin vest, dark drab pants check or plaid He is about 30 years of age, speaks quick and glib in his conversation. The rogue had first accosted Mr. Rowley as he was stepping on board the cars at Boston, and introduced himself as Mr. Southgate. Mr. Rowley offers a reward of 3,000 for the arrest of the rogue and recovery of the property. mt. riowicy is a man or wea:tii, and the money was his own property. .V. I". Police Gazette, IZxtra, Sept. 27. The Stolen Letters. Ad investigation is going on in iNew lork in relation to this criminal proceeding. Certain important facts have been arrived at, In the first place, thfre is no suck publishing compa ny as Cook Co., Boston, and other persons, thererire, were the publishers. It has been established, also, that two individuals of this city, one an ex 'en sive publisher of bibles and prayer-books, and a mem ber of the church, the other a prominent politician mode the original contract with Wm. Taylor, book seller, under the Astor House, for the sale of the work, which was described in advance, by the first of these two parties, as "a political publication, which would bave as great a run as the bishop's book." The work arrived here Sunday morning, in three cases, by Harnden & Co's. express, and was, as every body knows, soon circulated all over the city. The House of Burgess, Stringer f Co., also obtained, thoujrh at a subsequent date, an interest on the sale of the work, and both of these houses (B. S. & Co. and Wm. Taylor) have been served with an injunction from the chancellor to restrain them from paying over the proceeds ot the sales. This will prevent the Der petrators from reaping the pecuniary fruits of such a transaction. The first edition (5000 copies) having been exhausted, a second edition was printed in this city. The two parties who made the original contract with Taylor have been notified to attend before the chief of police, and more developments will be made in the course ot a day or two. A. 1". Eve.

When they assert that no man, however degraded, can think without emotion of the land of his birth, they assert a fact. But what is the inference they deduce from it 1 Why, that men loving the place of tlieir birth so well, must love those tyrannical, oppressive forms of government that forced them ta leave those much loved homes of their childhood, and that made them exiles in a foreign and strange land Strange that these men do not see that so much more as the emigrant loves his native land, he curses the despotism that drove him from it; and this fact wil be accreeited by our readers when they recollect what their consciences will tell them is true, that three-fourths of all emigrants are decided enemies o monarchical forms of government, and display their antipathy to those systems and governments under which they were born, by their generally favorable noerai principles, iinnic again, gentlemen.

From the N. Y. Evening Pott. The WORLD'S CONVENTION will be held in Clinton Hall, and commence its proceedings at 10 o'clock on Wednesday morning, 1st October, when all who are interested in the improvement of the condition of society, irrespective of any of the exist

To accomplish this object. a tun 6dppiy 01 weaun ana a superior character to all are alone required The means to attain both ; universally have been discovered through the late progress of inventions and improvements in the trts and sciences, and these means may be united into one grand practical science, as fixed and certain in its operations as any of the fixed sciences. Of this statement let none doubt, until they have - . ... . 1 honestlv applied tlieir minds to the. investigation of the principles and plans to be proposed ; and as such I result will be most advantageous for all, let no one intrude his more ignorant local prejudices as an obstacle to the attainment of this great permanent good very one endeavor to repress on this prejudices of locality and the preju- j dices of others; for it is these early imbibed prejudices alone, that now stand between men and a high ' degree of physical and mental excellence, and happiness in proportion as this excelleuce shall be attained. But let none suppose that they are not prejudiced. The people of all nations over the world are locally prejudiced, in their sectarian dissensions, in their government and Customs, in their classifications and partisan notions. Ihe Jews, the Chinese, the Hin doos, the Mahomedans, the Pagans aud the Christians, through their endless sectarian divisions, arc one and all strongly locally prejudiced. Each nation is locally prejudiced against all other nations, each race against all other races, each class against every other class, and to some extent, each one against every other, even in the same locality. These local prejudices prevent union and destroy charity, and withoyt union and charity there can be no permanent prosperity, excellence or happiness. All local prejudices emanate alone from ignorance; to remove this ignorance there" must be an entire change in the circumstances by w hich it is hourly perpetrated. The causes cf all local prejudices are known, and under the guidance of this spirit of chari ty and kindness may now be removed, and all of them, without violence or ill-will, abandoned. Those, therefore, who attend the "World's Convention " will be of little use to it unless they come prepared to abandon all that can there be proved to be injurious local prejudices and now formidable obstacles to the introduction of universal charity, mental liberty and kindness. And without these virtues, it will be for ever useless and vain to expect prosperity, excellence and happine-s in society, in this, or in any other part of the world. These virtues can be attained and secured in prac tice only by first, absence of local prejudices ; se cond, a universal good, practical education, freed fiom local prejudices, to ensure a superior character; third, regular systematic beneficial employment, to ensure a surplus of wealth for all ; fourth, a scientific arrangement of external circumstances to compose societies which shall exclude local prejudices, and include superior education and employment ; fifih, local government, without force or fraud, which shall be so constructed that each one under its direction shall be cared for and justly treated. All this may now be accomplished by the World's Contention. Education, employment, no local prejudices, and a government that will care for all, ant act justly to each, on the principle of universal charity and kindness. With these, the future happiness of the world will be permanently secured. A friend to all, ROBERT OWEN, No 11 Fifth avenue, New York. From the Brooklyn Advertiser. A Faithfcl Djg. Some years since, a family residing in one of the Southern States possessed a Newfoundland dog, which conceived n strong friend ship for the little daughter of its owner. This child he used to escort regularly to school, carrying her satchhel in his mouth, and was generally at the door when the hours of her penance were over, to trot along by her side homeward. One day, the girl, having strayed away without the knowledge of her parents, sauntered along to the water, and was amusing herself by walking upon the string pieces of pier. The dog, as usual, her only attendant, and seemed to watch her pranks with much attention and considerable uneasiness. Frequently warned by various persons upon the wharf, to keep further from the edge, she nevertheless, with juvenile waywardness, continued her dangerous pastime, until finally missing her footing, she fell into the water. Instantly the neighborhood was in an uproar ; some ran to loosen a boat, others flung boards into the stream, and sailor present stripped off his jacket and shoes for a plunge after the little castaway. But Towser fully comprehended the matter at a glance, and before it was fairly known that she was in peril, was by the side of his young mistress, had seized her by her floating dress, and was paddling back with his precious burden to the wharf. The generous Jack tar had now only to leap into a ship's yawl hard by, aud pull both of the dripping creatures into it, and deposit them upon the dock in safety. Towser, of course, became more than ever a favorite with the family, and held a very enviable rank above others of his species. As his mistress increased in strength and stature she was never allowed to forget the debt of gratitude due her canine companion, although 6he had outgrown the necessity of calling upon him for further services, so that be slept and grew fat upon his laurels, like some old 6oldier, whose youthful privations and evidences of valor have procured him a pension for the remainder of his pilgrimage. Some five years after this occurrence, the family had resolved upon changing their place of residence fur the city of St. Augustine. The morning of their departure had arrived; the schooner which was to convey them to their new home was casting off from the pier, the very one which had been the scene of Towser's exploit, but he was no where to be found. They whistled and called, but no dog appeared ; the Captain became restive swore he would wait no longer, gave the order, and the craft swept along the waters with a spanking breeze, and was soon a quarter of a mile from the shore. The girl and her father were standing at the stern of tl-.e vessel, looking back upon the city which they had probably left forever, when suddenly Towser was seen running down to the edge of the wharf with something in his mouth. With a glass they discovered that it was his master's pocket handkerchief, which had been dropped somewhere upon the road down to the vessel, and which he recollected, with some compunctions of conscience, that he had sent bis shaggy servant back to look after. The dog looked piteously around upon the bystanders, then to the retreating vessel, ane leaped boldly into the rater. His master immediately pointed out the noble brute to the Captain, and requested him to throw bis vessel into the wind until the animal could near them ; he also offered a large sum if he would drop his boat and pick him up, told him of the manner in which he had preserved the life of his daughter, and again offered him the price of a passage if he would save the faithful creature. The girl joined her entreaties with those of her father, went and implored that her early friend might be rescued ; but the Captain was a savage ; he was deaf to every appeal of humanity kept obstinately on his course, and the better animal of the two followed the vessel, until his strength exhausted, and his generous heart chilled by despair, he sank among the more merciful billows. By heaven! we would have thrown the Captain overboard ! c We cannot go quite as far as that. To be sure, the fellow was not fit to live but then be was much more unfit to die. JV. Y. Advertiser. fjf-It is said that General Almonte maintains an active correspondence with Sinta Anna at Cuba, and emissaries are employed in every direction throughout Mexico, to take advantage of the present disorganized condition nf affair, to invif Ym tn return tA nsenmo ' , tne supreme command.

Breach or Promise. A breach öf promise case was lately tried in England, the damages laid at 1000. The defendant had paid 500 with costs, as he considered that sum equhalent for the lady's disappointment. The counsel, in addressing the Jury for the defence said: "Gentlemen of the Jury, the plaintiff is entitled to damages, and I tell you under his Lordship's correction, if you are cf opinion that she is not entitled to more than 500, after we produce the order made to lodge that money in court, that your verdict ought to be for the defendant. I don't dispute ' never did the right of this lady to get compensation, and his counsel advised him to lodge that sum,

which he thought would have brought this matter to ' an end, and have saved the public investigation, annovins- as it must be to everv one concerned. We may thus sum up the case. This lady has lost a widower of 53, w hose means we will show you are moderate who commands with bis demesne and all something less than .400 a year. She lost him and his fortune, and gets 500. Now what prospect is there before her 1 If he insisted on his rights he might have left her a young widow without any sup port. That is one consideration. He, however, thought, whether right or wrong or his counsel thought that he was not worth more than 000 ( Laughter.) Is there, I ask, a young lady who sees me now and indeed, I had, in this case, a Jury of . . . . . . 1 pretty girls to address (Laughter) and 1 could easily impanel them in this court, my lord. (Loud laughter.) Were you, ladies, in that box, to you I would say no more than this Would you rather have a widower of 53, with five little pledges hanging on his back, with a fortune say of 401 or jo( 0 on hand at your disposals Ladies ot the Jury, have you agreed to your verdict 1 (Great laughter.) There was a famous poet who wrote of a lady you bave read this, my lord. After giving a history of the lady, he described her as rather fond of the male sex (loud laughter) indeed I believe this is a propensity most ladies have (Laughter.) iNow, 6he had to draw a comparison, not between a man of 53 and a girl of 2G, but between a man of 50 und one of 25. The question was asked ; she looked at each and immediately and very candidly said, " I'd rather have two of five and twenty than one of fifty." (Loud laughter.) But, gentlemen of the Jury, the friends of this youns lady think differently. They are of opinion that this widower of 53 should pay for what ! Compensation in damages for the loss she sustained ! Why, I believe the damage she sustained could never be estimated at JLDC'U The Jury retired, and after an absence of nearly half an hour, returned a verdict for plaintiff 700 damages, and sixpence costs. Egyptian Anecdote. The katsheff related the following almost incredible anecdote : Sev eral of the suite, who were present, were, indeed, ready to attest the truth of it, but, whether true or false, it is one which might very properly be inserted in the next edition of Munchausen's book of marvels : It is not long since," began the KatshefF, " that a man from Berbar settled here, and w as well known to all of us. One morning he led his horse to the Nile to w ater, and fastened the rope by which he held it round his arm, and while the animal was quenching, his thirst, he knelt down to prayer. At the moment when he was lying wii.li his face upon the ground, a crocodile attacked the unhappy man, swept him into the water with his tail, and swallowed him. The terrified horse exerted all his strength to run away, and, as the rope which was attached to the arm of his dead ' master, in the stomach of the crocodile, did not snap, and he could not disengage himself from it, the faffrighted animal not only pulled the crocodile itself out of the water, but dragged it over the sand to the door of his own stable, where it was soon killed by the family, who hurried to the spot, and afterwards found the" dead body of the victim entire in the belly of the horrid monster." Prince Pucklur Muskau's Egypt. Crocodiles of the Nile. It is singular that, in certain localities, these animals are much more to be dreaded than in others, and even then, not always in proportion to their larger or smaller numbers. At Assouan, for instance, they have never yet been seen to attack a man, whereas, at Wadi Haifa, the greatest precaution must be taken to avoid them. Near Dongola, again, they are more harmless, though more numerous. It is athrmed that if they have a choice between a black man and a white man, they invariably prefer the latter. Sometimes they pursue people on the land, in which case however, it is only necessary to run round in a circle, when pursuit is impracticable from the great difficulty which they have in turning. Horrible Condition. The single people of Florida are in a dreadful condition. A law exists imposing a most heavy penalty upon any persons who contract matrimony without license granted by the clerk of a county Court. At its last session the Legislature of Florida abolished these Courts without providing any officer to grant licences consequently nobody can be legally married in Florida until a new law is made. Some cynical old bachelor remarks, that the women will call mass meetings and compel the Governor to call an extra session. Quite right if they do. In the meantime, the law of nature being superior to all others, in paramount extremities, the appaling difficulty will, in this awful instance, be overcome, if in no other way, at mass meetings themselves accordto the order of Melchesedech,' or some her ot order. New Orleans Courier. Mexico and a British Protest. The Editor of the Red River Republican says that a gentleman who travelled to Memphis with Ashbel Smith when he descended the river, was informed by that gentleman, that he had 6een a document which was intended to be addressed to Capt. Elliott, on the part of the British government to the government of Mexico, protesting against a declaration of war by the latter. There may be seme truth in this. It is highly probable that the British government would protest against a declaration of war by Mexico, but it seems to us that Mr. Bankhead, the British Minister in Mexico, and not Capt. Elliott, is the proper person to make the protest. Mexican Bombast. The Washington Union siys that the following curious specimen of bombast is from a Tampico paper : "Why are not our valiant troops battling with these Yankes drunk with visky and raw meat, who would let themselves be killed like hogs ! Why have not the enemy's advanced troops perished by the swords and lances of our invincible veterans of the North ! Why should they bo permitted to fortify themselves, in order that, in cold blood, and 60 ingloriously, with their fifteen chambered rifles, they may make us purchase victory dearly!" Tribute or Respect to the Memory of Gen. Jackson, in a Foreign Port. Twenty-one minute guns were fired on the 11th of August, by the United States ship, Jamestown, Commodore Skinner, in obedience to a general order of the Navy Department, at Porto Grande, on the receipt of the intelligence of the death of Gen. Jackson. Upon learning the cause of the salute, the Governor of the Island of St. Vincent, ordered a salute of twenty-one guns to be fired at noon of the same day, from the port of the town of Forto Grande; and the Portuguese colors were hoisted at half mast for a week following the salute. The following lines are found upon a board over a public watering trough, by the road side, in the town or West Boylston, Mass. Ttmpcrance fountain, good as can be, Better far than Rum or Brandy. If this truth excites your fury, Let your Horse be judge and jury. Our Minister to China, Hon. A. H. Everett, could not proceed in the China squadron. He was to sail for New York from Brazil, on the 22d ult., in the Courier, his physicians having advised him to return. The Ticayune tells a story of a snake that swallowed a mule twicei It kicked its way out each time, and finally killed the snake. The mule was brought from the A'icA-apoo tribe of Indians. 07" Vinegar may be very much sharpened by stirring it with a razor strop hm says 44 a razor strop man." KOTIGE.
