A BBAOTIFBL COMFUMKHT.—On« of the most beautiful compliments we ever read came before our eyes this week.— j, may be old to many,but it will bear repetition: "Reynolds, the celebrated art»$t, painted a portrait of Mrs. Billing* ton, the vocalist, representing her as St. Cecilia—the eves turned toward "•even listening to a choir of •nIe'" '•tatty Introduced on the upper1 part oF the painting. Haydn, »be composer, was present just as Sir Joshua was giving It »h« finishing touch, and his opinion or ita merits was asked by Mrs. ®'J'ln§*°n: resembles you," Haydn, but il has on. *r...
A"d
"h'1
is itl" asked Mrs. Bilhngton, with inquietude, fearful that the artist might take offence. "The painter,'* continued Haydn, "has represented you as listening to the songs of the angels he should have painted the angels listening to your enchanting notes." Flattered by such a compliment, the beautiful Billington threw her arms round Haydn's neck and kissed him." Who would not praise a picture for such a reward?
HEIGHT OP HAFFISBSS.—"I require," said a sage of the tribe of Penubscott, •••but three things to make me happy."— ••What is the first!" inquired a searcher of Wisdom. "Tobacco," was the reply. "What is the second!" "Rum."— "Well, what is the third?" "Why," said the philosopher, contemplatively, *'a little more rum."
DEAD LETTB«S.—Scott is famous for "dead letters"—at any rate, who ever saw one that did not full still-Lorn from his pen.—Boston Times.
Did the letter which he wrote in 1812. asking the passage by Congress of a retaliatory law to meet the esse of the Irish prisoners whom the Britsh were about to hnng as traitors for being found in the U-S. army,fall still-born troin his pen? Say.— Lou. Jew.
BOAT RACING.—-During ibe pant year the boatmen of St. Johns, N. B., challenged the States to row—four men of New Brunswick against any four men in the Union which, after some maneuvering on both sides, has at length been brought to a match.
Mr. Charles Thomas, of No. 63 Whitehallship, has made the arrangement on the part of the New Yorkers for a race of six miles, for the sum of $2,000 aside, to come off on the 7th of October next—the Yorkers to pay the traveling expenses of their opponents from St. John to'this city and back. A forfeit of $50 has been deposited. The parties are restricted as to the number of oars. and not to any length of boat.—iV. Y. Tribune.
WHIPPED TO DEATH.—At St. Josephs, Mo., on the 28th ult., an auctioneer named Wiltard was taken into the woods by several men, and whipped to death, his body was found in a shok- [sic] ingly mutilated condition. The only offence charged against him was, that he had contracted debts which he did not intend to pay. ~~~~~~~
A dandy remarking one summer day that the weather waa SO excessively hot that when he pat his head in a basin of water it fairly boiled, received for reply: 'Then air, you have a calf's head aoup at very little expense*
People who are always talking seatiment have usually not very deep feelings the leas water you have in your kettle the sooner it will boil.
So-so.—1 take it for granted, said Mr. Wiggins, inquiring as to the character of a certain numtto companion, that she is temperate, convernible and willing to make herself agreeable. Quite so, replied Mrs. Figgins. Indeed, 1 never knew so young a person so sociable and so solicitous to plcoBe.
The man who built the Rocky Moun tans thinks if the Mississippi was "wrung out and daied," the people down south would be less liable to colds and catarrhs
Th« Chip PedJers of New, York. Bare-footed, dirty-faced, filthy-clad children, with keen knowing looks, very young in years, but quite old in looks, are met with tn this city at every turn—boys and girls sent out to earn their living either by stealing, or begging, or working—objects of pity to some, of disgust to others, and of wonder to ail. The street-sweep-
my cases, in crime, are numerous tn all parts of the city, most of whom are eithor foreigners or itliiren of foreigners. There is a claim of these children that have hitherto escaped public attention. We refer to the chip vender*. Crowds of them cap be seen every morning at theehip-yards 'along the rivor in front of the Eleventh Ward, from which they emerge with baskets on their heads, filled with chips, and travel through the streets seeking for customers. They are of all agea, from four years upwards, and many of them no doubt, gather a considerable number of pennies in their perambulations. One of these little creatures, a girl six or seven years old. was stopped in the street by a lady, and asked ifahe would like to give up peddling and go home sad live with her. "No," was the prompt and decided answer. "Why noy said the lady.
Because 1 can make mors money soiling chips." This WM no doubt the case, and thU little one already understood her busipese and Its advanta £cs and a oom for table bom*, with healthy ran* innd clothina, w«ni not sufficient attractions to /indue* her i% abandon it.-JV F. Timet.
JUST SO ALL OVB* THB STATE.—We received yesterday a letter from an in telligent gentleman from Butler county, in wnich ho says that the Whigs of Logan and Butler counties are delighted with the nomitution of Scott and will not lose a whig%ue in those two counties, while he will get a good Democrat ic vote. So it is all over the State. A gentleman from Washington county told us yesterday he knew in his neighborhood ten br a dozen Democrats who would support Scc^ In Louisville Scott will receive the votes of more than one hundred Democrat* who never before voted for a Whig! The skies are bright and brightening.—Louisville Courier.
The lawyer editor of a country Whig paper who wrote a very "blind" hand, was frequently annoyed by the compositors inquiries concerning words which they could not decipher. One day a compositor, who was as Hu|e acquainted with the disposition of the editor its with his handwriting, entered the sanctum, and holding the copy before his eyes, inquired what a certain crooked mark stood for. The editor just at that moment, did not wish to be interrupted and exclaimed: 'Goto the devil!*
The compositor retired, not to his satanic majesty, but the printing office —and when the editor read the proofs, had the pleasure of seeing a line in his leading editorial read: "He (Mr. Webster) wilt, in all prob* abit y, go to the devil."
I copy *5? iooked fof, and the crooked nuttfe waa rendered—'be oom* iftfied.*
GLotrcssTBt, August 11, p.m. Arrlrala from the fisheries bring in formation that the schooner C. V. Rag era was hoarded in the bay of Chaleur by the officers of the steamer Devaata tion. The Rogers, together with twenty other schooners, was ordered out of the bay. When about four or five miles from the shore their papers were de mar.ded by the English officers, who looked at them, crushed them In their hands, and threw them on the deck in an insulting manner. The schooners were ordered off in fifteen minutes. An Eastern schooner, taking on water in one of the bays, wss not given time to obtain water. Another Gloucester vessel pu* into Fort Road for harbor. The ofn cers gave ht»r permission to remain, but the people on shore made opposi tion and obliged the officers to order her off immediately*^ is reported that the American schooner was fired into while escaping from the cutter, and the man at the helm was wounded.
PITTSBURG, August 11.
The national convention assembled at ten o'clock. The masonic hall was crowdeJ to excess, there being at least two thousand persons present. There were many unable «o gain admittance.— Samuel Lewis, the chairman, called the convention to order, explaining that the call of the convention meant to ineludo all the friends of freedom, under whatever name they should be known.— Garrett Smith, Lewis Tappan, J. R. Giddings. and other distinguished men were present, with delegates from four slave States.
Judge Spalding, of Ohio, was then called to the chair, and Mr. Booth, of Wisconsin, appointed temporary secretary.
A resolution was offered by Mr. Woodman of Maine, appointing a committee of organization. At this moment a banner was brought into the hall with the following inscription: "No compromise with slaveholding."
Mr. Tappan. of New York, explained that the objection of himself and other anti-slnvery men at first declining to sit tn the convention, arose from the plat form which he did not approve. That matter having been satisfactorily explained, he withdrew his objections, and hoped they would form a platform from which no anti-slavery man could dissent.
Hon. Addison Walker, secretary of State of Massachusetts, addressed the meeting, declaring that the present was the most important era in the history of the party. Whigs and democrats have bowed the knee to the slave power the damnable deed has been done to obtain the crumbs of office. There is no difference between parties who have surrendered the great principles of liberty.

We believe them to have received from their present Instructor, a thorough drilline in this ail important branch of Commercial Education, which, if steadily observed and properly practiced upon, will render them able accountants and valuable citizena, and we would recommend that the following named members of the present class receive Diplomas, to wit:
James B. Weeks, John M. Dorser, Hezekiah W. Roberts, Samuel J. Morris, Joseph R. Haugh, John T. Ferguson, George W. Dorsev, Nicholas McCarty, Jr., Jamea T. Brown, and Tyra Montgomery.
Ana, in conclusion, we would congratulate the citizens of Indiana in now having it in their power to patronize a Home Institution of Commercial Education where aa much information, in as short a time, and at far less expense and anxiety of mind on the part of parenta and guardiana, can, and we believe will be imparted, aa at any other aimilar institution in the west
