I have however to regret that a final

settlement between Holland and Relgium has not yet been etil-eU-d, and that the civil war in Portugal Ul continups.

It will be my object to prevent sivy change in the relations of that empire with other powers, which might endanger its fufne stability. Tiic speech then goes on to speak ci the estimates which have been directed lo be laid before the Commons, w hich are si tied to have been farmed with a view to strict economy, and such reduction as the public service will admit. The distress among the proprietors and occupiers of land is lamented. Tlie state of the country in other respects is represented as affording the most encouraging prospects. The state of behind is adverted to, which is said to I n much more favorable th.m at any period of the last year. A tin d adjustment oi the subject of tithes is recommended. Tb.e attempt to cllbct a repeal of the union, are received by the king with reuret and iiiuigc.ation, and he; expres-es his fixed resolution to maintain theunion inviolate. The usual addresses, echoing tb.e substance of the speech were moved and passed iu the loids unanimously, nnd in the Commons, by a voe of 139 to 23. The duke of Wellington, however, in the house of lords, complained that the speech, contained as liiile as it possibly could, and abo found fault with the foreign policy of the government. In the house of Commons, col. Evans. Mr. Hume and Mr. O'Conn.ell opposed the address, and the two latter moved amendments, which were supported but by a small number of vote s.

Labor is honour ABLE.--The following paragiaph. extracted from the message of (lovernor Davis to the Legislature of this State, is highly creditable to its author. It is the tendency of slavery lo make labour disgraceful and servile, hut of liberty to make it useful and honourable. "While we continue to respect labour while we look upon it as it ic, the j,reat clement that imparts to our country a growth which errors in public policy can scarcely cheek, and to our institutions their overpowering strength: while we hold it to be meritorious and honourable, instead of ser

vile; while we cling to the purity and simplicity of life, which belongs lo this condition, instead of degenerating into

the follies, the vanity, and false hopes, which overgrown wealth often begets;

while we pursue a policy thai wiil give

io this 1 ibor tlie most ample scope and encouragement in all its various occupations, we shall have little occasion lo entertain apprehension for cur free institutions, if we also continue lo provide liberally for the cuiture and im

provement of the mind.1' Boston Pop. In Northiicld, Mass. not long since, there was discovered, under the roots of an ash tree a nest of snakes in a torpid stale, numbering not less than one hundred, end five!

A NEWSPAPER IN A FAMILY. The minds of active children are ever agog after something on which their fancy may rest. This principle of the human faculty never can be salbfied short of enjoyment in something. This ! ing a self evident position, the question fairly arises, what is the hort loo.! for such minds? If we wish their faculties to remain useless, deprive children, as much as posible of all sources of information: teach them that all polish, of whatever kind it maybe, is supeitluous. Then they will cither be drones or vagabonds, according as the bent ol their inclination may lead them. Bui. on (lie contrary, if you would hke to hear tl.e offspring of your charge both active and uselul plate such, incentives before them, as would lead a tender and susceptible mind into a train of useful thought, w hich would so bias future conduct, as to justify the saying cf the wise man, that "train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it." One great source of this bending of tl.e twig may be attributed to the rending of new spapers. There- is not, at any one lime, more mutter placed heft)!..1 a child than he may think lie can peruse in the e.oussc ot a week, after which soon arrives another treat, until it becomes a matter of course, and in proportion to the expansion of the mind of the child, will his eagerness for the successive paper increase. W hen once this thirst for improvement and information has gained an ascendancy, the little fe.olctics and foibles that so frequently disgrace neighborhoods,.-!! in which none but the frivolous and the uncultivated are general ly engaged w ill be done away. At the same time, such children arc more attached to industry: for when the toils of tiie day are over a mental collation awaits the mind at home, in the character of a weekly visitant; and children are r.ot seeking relief from toil, by pera,, ihul.il ing a neighbor's premises. Tl."-o among a great variety of causes that c.vo vd upon us, are the reasons why we wou.'d be vi!ling to direct the attention oi pare'ds to tb.e simple article of a newspaper. fltiizerland Guest.

A Retkeat. Oa .Monday afternoon, as a c arman was harnessing his horse in the rear of 365 Monroe street, the animal evinced a disposition to refuse the admission of the bill between his teeth. The carman struck him a blow over the head w hich caused him to 'back up" against the door of the house, which not being fastened, immediately opened, and Bucephalus wheeled and walked in. The carman followed, and the horse retreated up stairs. The carman followed on again, and the frightened .animal retreated up a second pair ol stairs, .and entered the chamber, lo the no small fright of live or six clever old ladies who were standing around filched discussing the merits ef a new bonnet which had just been biought in from the milliner's. Mui'dcration ! what's that?" said oae of them, :s the animal poked his head lound the corner of the high bed post and smash went the new bonnet on-lo th- floor, w hile the ladies prang to the fiuh; corner of the room. By this tiui.; the carman entered the room, and explained the whole affair. By the assistance of the neighbors, with ropes ccc. the animal was safely conducted down stairs, where he stood for soiuv time, with a most solemn look at the carman as much its to say, 4-I gues, if y ou don't want I should go up stairs ng tin, you'd belter treat me more gently.'" jV.

TRAGICAL EVENT. The following tr.igierd story of a Mormon pieacher is given ay the editor of the Independent Messenger on the authority of a gentleman from the western part cf the state of New Yoik. In a town where the delusion had made numerous converts, thcdUciplinca were summoned to assemble in a wild place, circumjacent to a pond on the water of which a giited older announced that he should w.iik and preach. The bclieveis n- titu d their doubting friends, and great things were anticipated. But it seems th' ie. were a few wicked Linianiles, who secretly set t!i mot ives to make mischief. Choos

ing their oppoi tunity, just before the appointed day of miracles they ascertained, by means cf a raft, that the pond to be Iravcised was extremely shallow,' a thin slice' cf water row ring a common swamp mire. This mire

Vvas found to ho ol a en; ?i-!cney nearly strong enough, except within a &m:tll centra! space, to su-tain tlie weight of a man. They soon di-covercd a line of plank laid in a particular direction completely across the pond, sunk about four inches under the surface of tiicwater. These were so fastened down and locked together, anal o daubed with mild as to be quite imperceptible from the neighboring declivities. They resolved on preventing the miracle bysawing the concealed biidge in pieces, just where it crossed the deepest and most dangerous part of the pond This was done, and every thing left apparently as thty found it. The expected day arrived, the. congregation placed themselves as in an amphitheatre on the surrounding slopes, and the preacher appeared at the edge of tb.e witter. Presently he raised his slentoi ian veice. as he paced his invisible bridge with a step apparently nneaithly. taught and warned (he people. All ears were open, and every eye strained from its socket with astonishment. But alas! just as the miracle worker seemed to have wrought conviction of his divine power in the wondeiing hearts of the multitude, he stepped up n no of the d (ached pieces of plank, sallied sidewise, and instantly plunged, flounder ing and sinking in The watry mire. The mingling shrieks, screams and shouts of the spectators, all in a rush of commotion, were appalling. The s.Cen0 was indescribable. Even those who had spoiled the miracle, were filled with horror, when they actually saw the unJorlunate impostor fin diy disappear. Tiny had not dreamed that their trick would cost him more than the flight, discomfort, and disgrace of being submersed, and after struggling ashore; all along taking ir for granted, that his plank would enable him to swim, however it might treacherously lail him (o walk. Rut the tale closes with the close of his life, and tlie consequent close of Mortnonbni in that vicinity. He sank, and long before the confounded assembly we re in a condition lo afford him relief, perished a victim lo his imposture.

MURDER. On yesterday morning about four o'clock one of the most inhuman murders ever heard of was commited on the opposite side of the river, the circumstances, so far as we could ascertain are these: on Wednesday evening, two travellers stopped at (he tavern of Vincent Owens, Jr. in West Brownsville. ::ot supper and w ent to bed, about four o'clock iu Ihe morning one of them arose and went into the bar-room, and attacked the father of the landlord, aged 9 4 years knocked him down with the poker, and then drew a knife, cut his throat from ear (oear, and in a man nor severed his head from his body. Mr. Owens hearing a noise ran into the room followed by bis daughter, when the assassin struck at him, and gave him a severe gash on Ihe cheek, hc"then attacked his daughter, and nearlv succeeded in cutting her throat also. ' The murderer then made into ihe river and swam clown a considerable distance, and has not since been heard of, whether he sank to the bottom and drowned, and has gone a: it were reeking in human blood, to (he bar of his God, or escaped out of the. river and i running at large upon society we know not, certain it is, that although search has been made, no (nice of him can he found.
