Death of the King of Spain. The j demise of this illustrious embroiderer of petticoats will probably lead to new troubles in Spain, if it does not distuib the general peace of Europe. The approaching contest between Don Carlo? and the Queen Regent, will doubtless afford a new pretextbr that fashionable species of non-intervention, hv the aid of which the minor powers of Europe are made to d ju-l as the higher on,!;; plea-c, and deprived of the privilege of setting their own aflhirsin their own way. Another Portugal affair is probably in embryo in Spain, and whoever the nominal bead of the nation maybe, he, or mic, will he little more

than a pageant, while the real authority will be exercised by some .Minister of a roreign power. Ail will be done in the. way of mediation, and non-inter vention, and the right of the nation to cnoose its sovereign be filched awav. under tiie stale pretence of preserving the peace cf Europe. It has become evident (!. at there are no independent powers i..- Europe, except Ru-sa, Austria, P;i;ssi:t, France, and England. These dictate to the rest, and it i- fortunate that their mutual jealousies and conflicting interests prevent a combi nation, which would entirely destroy the independence of the rest.

Covfcicn cf Murrfn: A few days ago, a man died in the vicinity ef Eilesmere, who, on the point of death., confessed his having committed, a mur-d-r twenty years asjo, for whicli a blacksmith, named Preston, was oou after tried, coinicied and ecuied. The murder was commit ted on two aged people, name I Francis Iiruoe and Ann Taylor, who resided at Lmgford, near Drayton. The next morning the deceased were found with their throats cut, and the guilt of Preston was established by a chain of circumstantial evidence. He was known to be poor, and was seen running from the scene o murder on the. rvu-ii!r it took pi ire: the next morning he exhibited a haad fill of gold and bank no(.--. A lick and a hammer, with which the oM man's skull wa fractured, were proved to have been borrowed by him. No doubt M as then fore, entertained of bis guilt. When on the senilbU, he denied any participation of the the murder '"i ,'nur J ii-" ,rr(' in ?b 'bbT'.

It now appears, from the confession o( the dying man. that Preston watched at the door while the murder and robbery were conimitcd: but counselled the robbery should be committed without violence, and was ignorant that the murder had been committed. The murder was perpetrated by two other men. one of whom was the dying man, whose conscience sought relief in the disclosure. Lmvlon Pupi r.

Waste of C. fii in Agricultun. It is estimated that only one-third of the seed-corn sown on the best land grows; the other two-thirds are destroyed. The number of cultivated acre G i e it Britain and Ireland amour.?- to, 47.000,000; 00,000,000 of which are under h" plough. Two-fifths; of the 'alter, or '. 2.000.000 ncre.?, are nnnualiy under the e 'real crops. The average allowance of seed for ! e three kinds of corn may to stated at four bushels and two-thirds per acre. The quantity of seed thus annually sown amounts to 7.0C0.000 quarterly. If two-third of (his quantity are rendered unproductive by some agency which has hitherto been uncontrolled, then 4,6G6,GG0 quarters of corn are annually wasted! The quantity thus lamentably wasted would support more than, 1 ,000,000 of human beings. -Quarterly Journal of Acrirnlturi . if liif. r-..sa' ti-is, ru'Vi.h to .-. :r nn-'mr of ' fr!u fit eircmnhi wlitlir ro'ii--. hrirk I may he tran.mioi (. ?)!(!

The mo.-t remarkable mounds are near St. Louis, on the east side of the Mississippi, consisting 0f two groups. One group is about two miles north of the. Cahokia river, winch empties into the Mississippi near St. Louis. This group is about one mile east of the Mississippi. The other group is about four miles south of the one first mentioned. These ancient works are about one hundred and fifty in number. The upper or northern group resembles in appearance, at a distance from them, a great number of enormous hay-stacks. G'eneraUv circular. lT"mp of (hem of

considerable height, there is space1 enough on their summits for severed hundred men to stand on. The largest of these mounds stands on the very bank of the Cahokia, and to raise this stupendous mound, must have required the constant labor of a thousand men for a long lime. Its shape is that of a parallelogram, 2400 feet in circumference, and ninety feet high. It is composed of alluvsal earth. On the south end is a broad apron about half way down, and from this is a projection fifteen feet wide. The monks of La Trnppc have set

tled near it have used the apron for a kitchen garden, and sown the summit with wheat. This clevatod parallelo gram, running north and south, belongs to the same class of work with ti.so at Marietta, on Paint Creek, near Pc tsmonth, and other spots already descnb ed in (heir appropriate places in this volume. 1 nese interesting remains, so numerous and k-rge, and all occupying only four or live miles square o; territory, clearly indicates the existence of a large town, in former times, in this- neighborhood.

The difficulty was subsequently healed the child was born, and in due time ho.gon to talk: but, when sitting with his father, was invariably silent.

The B-oslon Mercantile Journal selects the following from the Foreign Review for April. 1 32t, as one of the finest passages in the whole range of English literature. The subject treated of, is the Benefit of Printing. "When Tamerlane had finished building his pyramid of seventy thousand human skulls, and was seen standing at the gate of Damascus, glittering with steel, with his battle-axe on his shoulder till his fierce hosts filed out to new victories and carnage, the pale on-lookcr might have fancied that nature was in her death throes for havoc and despair had taken possession of the earth, and the son of manhood seemed setting in seas of blood. Vet it might be on that very gala day of Tamerlane, a litboy was playing nine-pins in the streets ot Mentz, whose history was more important to teem than twenty Tamerlanes! The Tartan Khan with his shaggy demons of the wilderness, passed away like a whirlwind, to be forgotten forever and that German artisan has wrought . bened;, which isjel immeasurably expanding itself, and will continue to expand itself through all countries and all time. What are the conquests and expeditions of the whole corporation of Captains from Walter the Pennyless to Napoleon Bonaparte, compared with the moveable type of Johannes Faust?1' Civil war in Missouri. The St. Louis Republican of the 12th Nov. contains a letter from Oran Hyde, one of the Mormonitcs settled in Jackson county, giving the particulars of several renconters between the Mormonitcs and a mob collected to destroy their property. Several were killed on both sides. Among the latter were two attornics, named II. L- Breazcalc and Mr. Hicks.

THE CULTURE OF DOMESTIC AFFECTIONS. i The editor of the National GazettCj during the recent protracted rain storm, remarked: " Such persons as cannot usefully employ themselves within doors during very inclement spells are now indeed to be pitied; such as can cheerfully work at home, or find gratification in books for any length of time, or improve a period particularly favourable for moral reflections, may make the worst weather on occasion of the richest haivest .and the purest pleasure." There is much excellent philosophy in the above quotations, under which society would rest to editors, if they would use their influence to promote the culture of domestic affection's.1' It has appeared (o us, (hat of all (he

shipwrecks of jame, fortune, and do mestic happiness, nine out of ten are referable to the neglect of the principles of affections. Those means of " pleasure o.nd profit are open to all, but which, like all of earthly arid of heavenly growth, are mainly dependent upon culture. Where true affection (we are not meddling with the novelist's passion of love) where (rue affection has been brought in operation in a family, the vicissitudes of fortune are of jittie account. Sympathy for distress itself will be trivial. The power of affection once attained, is never lost; and its value is enhanced by (he extent of )(s operation. The delights of the domestic circle are of course the aeare.-l and most to be coveted: but the elfe t of their operation is to be marked be vend the hearth' the intercourse of society is touched with its influence, and the circle of benefits is widely extended. If the culture could be liiade general, we might look for its immediate and important inthieo.ee upon society, an object greatly to he desired; but at home, the growth may be certain. The wish will produce the means, and perseverence will insure pcrfectioa io the culture of do.m-,i;c ailections. U. S. (iuzi't,. NIAGARA WHIRLPOOL. 'Ibis whirlpool, which is several miles below the Falls of Niagara, is a large deep basin,about the size of Primrose Hill, at the bark of Chalk Farm, in which the waters of the mighty Si. Lawrence revolve in one perpetual whirl, caused by their being obstructed by an angle of the steep and dieajy banks which overhangs this dreadful place. Mr. Wallace, the blacksmnh, had a son, a line )oulh, who one dav wetit down to the whirlpool, and the current proving too strong for him, he was carried into the whirl. His poor distracted mother sat on the gloomy bank for hours o.nd days, and beheld the body of her own darling carried around in a circle by the water, sometimes disappearing for a time, and thou coming up and revolving upon the surface of his watery grave, and thus continuing for several days, no human aid being available even to obtain his remains. After live or six days, bodies which get into this dismal cauldron are carried down the river. It is usual for persons rafting fin, her from places between the I-'alls and the whirlpool, t ) get off the raft be fa re they come to the basin, first placing the raft in such i position as may best enable it to float down (he stream without being carried into the whirl. On one occasion, however, one of the raftsmen refused to leave the raft he was not afraid, all would go safe; entreaty was unavailing, and the raft, with the unfortunate headstrong man upon it, made its way downwards, and was soon drawn within (he fatal circle, around which for three days o.nd three nights it continued to revolve, all the elforts of a thousand anxious spectators proving unavailing. The continual and sickening motion he underwent, robbed the noor sutferrer of all power to eat sleep he eouiu not a dreadful death was belore his eyes, so much the more terrible that it was protracted night after night in Mien a place. At last a man was found who ventured into the whirl a far as he could with -the hopes of life, a strong rope beinrr tied round hi ml.L die, one end of which was on shore. lie carried a line to throw to (bo i,r succeeded; the agonized sufferer fastened it to the raft, and in this way was urawn on siore, and his life nreservrd.
