The Procession To-morrow, We have before noticed the meetings that have Second, as to Alve i oti tuken place, in order to get up a procession to-mor- row, relative to the conduct of the merchant princes at the Ashburton dinner. And we now see trom the programme, that this movement will contain some novel and curious features, which we much fear will cause it to be turned into ridicule and become a farce. We regret this deeply, The series of insulting movements that were perpetrated at the Ashburton dinner, were such as to call forth the moral sense and just indignation of the people, through the me- dium of the press, in a way that could not be mis understood, or mistaken. And this is still going on in every part of the country which the newspapers can reach. There is moral sublimity—an appropriateness, about this mode of expression on the part of the peo- ple,which far surpasses any pompt, any pageant, any procession, any oratory, or any description of hum- bug whatever. It is the natural and spontaneous mode of mind communicating with mind, through the newspaper press, by which the people of the | Tue Insuur ro sae Paeswwene apres AswsurtoN Dinner.—A great meeting was held in Philadelphia ’ in relation to this subject on Friday last, in the State House Yard, without distinetion of party. General Robert Patterson presided, assisted by a number of Vice Presidents. W. A. Stokes, Esq. proposed a series of resolutions, which he supported in an able speech. They denounce the conduct pursued at the dinner, call for the names of the offenders, and approve of the conduct of Mr. Preserved Fish, who lettthe room. The meeting was also addres-ed by William D. K. Mr. Nunes, Colonel James Page, Colonel J. MaCahan, and Dr. Thomas Dunn English, and closed with thirteen cheers for the President of the United States, and three cheers for Mr. Preserved Fish. We subjoin the resolu. tions :— Whereas, At a public dinner given by Ameri the city of New York, to the Ambassador of th: bh Monarch, when “ The President of the United States” Was prepesed as a toast, the entire company, with the ex- tion of the Ambassador and his suite, sat silent or sneering, thereby insulting and deriding the whole American na: tion, through its Chief Magistrate ; and whereas, nat con- tent with this culpable conduct, in order to publish their baseness to the world, and demonstrate their real feelings, the same men gave three cheers, when a toast was offered “to the Queen of England.” Therefore, We, the People of Philadelphia, without distinction of party, in general town meeting assembled, believing it a duty dueto ourselves and our country, to express, ina public and decided manner, our indignant resentment and contempt of such conduct, do b ‘¢, That while the course of Lord Ashburton and ish Legation was marked by proper manliness y, the conduct of those persons, who called A cans, was recreant to honor and patriot. a spirit of treason to our country’s insti- tutions, worthy the contempt and indignation of all true Republican citizens. And we do furth Resolve, That while we ask the New York editors to publish the names of the actors in the late outrage, that the public may know them, we also desire them ‘todo honor to the manly firmness and patriotic spirit of Pre- served Fish, Esq. who instantly rose on the perpetration ofthe insult, and left the room, declaring that “no Ameri- van hearts beat in that assemblage, or so great an outrage would not be permitted.” And we do furthar Resolve, Thatin attending and acting in this meet ng, all party considerations are negtected—all party strife is ‘Washington Correspondence, Wasuineton Crry, Sept. 8, 1842.

Dear Geverau:— It would amuse you te stroll round the hotels and coffee houses, the boarding establishments and bil- liard rooms, and hear the question pass from one to one, “Who writes Bennett’s correspondence from this city?” Some say it 1s Blair—some Dr. Martin —some Jo. Gales, and others Captaia Tyler himself. Whether any of these conjectures be right or not, you can determine—for myself, Igshall not gratify public curiosity, but shall continue to glass the inci- dents of the place, and “ shoot folly as it flies,” without fear or favor, certain that I shall never “set down aught in malice.” I intend to champion the lovely but abused women of this city, and show how superior they are, in all respects, to the masculine portion of our population. For vir- tue, economy, industry, talent and goodness, there inno sort of comparison. General Harrison made the remark in ten days after his inauguration; he repeated it the day before he died, and Captain Ty- ler is about to establish a new era, by turning out the husbands, dressing them up in aprons and caps, put them to washing potatoes, and place their meek, smart, preity little wives in office. This would be glorious—it would be a new experiment in govern- ment, and would be known in history as the petti- coat dynasty. Let the Captain do this, and his re- election is certain; !et him rally the girls around him and the bishops would be there too—and against such influence, what could Clay with his Durham forgotten—we abandon, for the time,our honest differences of opinion as to men or measures—we cease to be anything but Freemen or tHe Amenica~ R: eupeic, and as such, ounce as recreant to their country’s interests, and traitorous to their countvy’s honor, those whose conduct at the recent public dinner in New York was rather that of British vassels than American citizens, City Intelligence, Axorner Broopy Arrray.—Between 11 and 12 o’clock on Friday night, an altercation took place infront of the premises 180} Mulberry street, be- same and different countries can freely interchange their sentiments, and powerfully combine their feel- ings for a particular purpose, all over the world. Believing this,then, we regret to see men of talent, good sense, and patriotism, connected with that very excellent porter house, the Pewter-Mug, where the beer is always fresh and of first rate body—the porter aways fiaely foaming, and the patriotisin al- ways in a fine and proper state of effervescence, by entering into this arrangement, laying themselves liable to the ridicule of the heartless scoundrels in Wall street, who cannot appreciate true patriotism in any form Itis astonishing to see how few really sensible men there are in the world, al‘hough the old dwell- ing place—this strangely assorted ball has been roll- ing on—rolling on for nearly 6000 years. It is too true that all the fools in the world are not dead yet We do not believe there isa man in that arrange- ment who, if he was alone, would not laugh nearti- ly at the conceit, and yet when they get banded to- gether, they rush eagerly into things that lay them open to ridicule—render them liable to be laughed disliked, as the Union, and Noah, and his oid clo’ cliques, and the miserable cliques in Wall street, are laughed at and hated, and despised, by all parties all over the city. Fasutovaste Movements —Lord Morpeth has re- turned from the Upper Lakes, and is about making the tour of the back setilements of Canada. Mar Yohannan is at Albany,with his able interpreter, Mr Perkins. J. Q Adame and lady were in this city yesterday, but left for home. Gov. Seward was also intown. Mr Forward his returned to Wash ington. The President of the United States will be at the Bedford (Pa ) Springs this week. Miss Tyler is there at present. Mr. Webster is at Marshfield, and will be engaged making chowder the greater part of this week. The British officers who were at Saratoga during the greater part of the season, have nearly all returned te Canada. Some few are com ing on to New Brighton, which is now absut to be- come the centre of attraction for the month of Sep- tember. How's tux Winp 1—After backing and filling for some time, we perceive that the “* New York Ex- press’’ at last comes out boldly against Capt. Tyler,and trong ultra whig ground. A few weeks ago, all the post office printing was taken away from the “Express,” and given to Beach and Noah Of course all those who wish to see the unpaid praises of Capt. Tyler, will look in Noah’s paper for them. How strangely these political men do shift about. It is hardly a year ago that Noah was abusing Capt. Ty- ler in the “ Evening Star,” and now he is his high- est eulogist. The wind bloweth where it listeth ! Tie Arproacuing New York Evection.—The candidates are all in the field, and the contest begun. What are the chances ? It promises to be a prodigi- ous struggle—and whether Bradish or Bouck suc- ceeds, seems somewhat doubtful. We shall think on this subject, and state our views in a day or two. The great point is Harry Clay. Oc Brut. Snownen, “ ladies’ man,” who publishes the Ladies’ Magazine, is a beauty. He has been publishing a lot of private letters written him by Park Benjamin, on matters of poetry and puffery. Why does not Bill publish a few of the billet doux he has received from the pretty girls of the Bowery Theatre? Tom Hamblin will go snacks in the pro- fits of the brochure. cg Capratn Rowert Tyrer is in town from Washington, and is at the Astor House. All office beggars will please to call, leave their cards, and annoy him as muchas possible. The young Captain is @ very amiable man, and can bear a great deal of annoyance Miracutovs Event.—We understand that a gen- tleman, in consequence of the numerous advertise- ments of Sands, the Sarsaparilla man, purchased a bottle of sarsaparilla; and the result was, that it not only cured him, but that it also enabled him to paya note of $1000, and to collect rents to the amount of $250, This is the greatest event that we have yet heard recorded of the sarsaparilla of the present day Tom Carn, AND THE ALGERINES.—Tom Carr is still stirring up a tempest ina teapot about the al- leged insult to himself by some one on the coast of Africa. What is it you want, Tom? Do you want to be sent out a second time, Tom, as Consul to Tangier? If yqu do, come out and say so, and we must see what we can do about having it done Marne Ex.sction.—The annual election in Maine will take place to-morrow. The whig candidate for Governor is Edward Robinson, of Thomaston State Senators and Representatives are to be cho- sen, as well as county officers, viz: County Com. missioners, Clerks of Courts, County Attornies and County Treasurers. Tur Weatner.—The change that has recently taken place in the weather has been very great. The therinometer is frequently down to 50 in the day time. Once again, we have delicious, cooling breezes during the day, and comfortably cold nights, This is the most delightful season of the year; and two months ot the present weather, will save more livesthan all the doctors in the city can. Flannel shirts, woollen stockings, blankets, and other warm sleeping arrangements, are becoming desirable. From Navvoo.—Our last accounts represent the Prophet Joe and the Mormons as going ahead quiet- ly and rapidly. No arrest or delivery has been made.” ‘The storm is over. tween two Irishmen, named John Hurley and John Coakley, which grew out of some ill feeling exist- ing between them, in consequence of Coakley’s having left Hurley’s ernploy, and commenced busi- ness as hatter on hisown hook. The parties were separated by some of the company, but continued abusing each other, until at length John Coakley pulled offhis coat for a fight, and was backed up by his brother Abraham, who was present. In an in- stant, the blood of the Hurleys was up, and the three brothers, James, John, and Charles, went at the Coakleys, who were severely beat, bruised, and kicked by their opponents, and finally cried out that they were stabbed, and one of the witnesses heard Abraham Coakley say, “Ah, Charley, see what you have done.” Alderman Stewart was culled to the scene of the affray, but was pelted off the ground with stones and other missiles, &c. by the belligerents and their friends. The wounded men were carried to the coroner’s office, corner of Spring and Mott streets, where Dr. Archer dressed their wounds. They appeared to have been inflicted with a sharp bowie knife, and John Coakley received three wounds, one on the buttock, one on the left breast, and one inthe head. Abraham was stabbed in the right breast and arm, and his abdomen was much swollen from akick he had received. They are both considered in great danger from their wounds, by Dr. Archer The Hurleys were arrested by officer Alexander Parker, and couveyed to the Upper Police, where they were fully committed by Justice Palmer on the charge. The witnesses that have been exa- mined say they saw no knife used. Attack ox THE Avms House —Yesterday after- noon, three notorious rowdies, named Jim Dunn, Pete Boyle. and Bill Nelson, alias Country, pro ceeded to the Alms House Hospital, at Bellevue, ‘cr the purpose of liberating some females of theit acquaintance, whom the police magistrates had ~een fit to deprive of the liberty of promenading the pave at unseasonable hours fora short period. In this chivalric object they were opposed by Mr. Per- rine, one of the keepers of the establishment, whom the trio very soon initiated in the manly art of self defence, and Country put him in_ bodily fear by flourishing a large dirk at him. Mr. Perrine and bis assistants, after being put hors du combat by the party, escaped from the field, and the former gentleman wended his way to the Upper Police, as bearer of despatches of the foray, and_ his defeat The victors, however, did not accomplish their eb. ject of storming the citadel where their ladye loves were confined, and retired from the field of battle, and proceeded down the Third Avenue until they came to a grocery, whieh they entered, and after drinking to the confusion of all prisons, magistrates, and peace officers, very coolly flogged the jandlord, ind left They next entered the basement of a dwelling, brow beat and abused the lady of the house, and then resumed their march to the city. They were met at Tompkins Market by officer J. 3. Smith, and late a, keeper Ruckle, who after 1 severe fight, succeeded with the aid of some citi- zens, in capturing the whole of the desperate gang, and safely deposited them in the lock-up at the Up: per Police. But Gray Cavent Acatn.—Onr readers will re- collect that some four or five months since a noto- rious burglar, named William D. Gray, alias George Morrison, alias Dean, was arrested on the charge of robbing the dwelling of Stephen Whitney, and the commission of some five or six other burg] e escaped from trial by means of “ straw bail, ' successfully eluded the most strenuous exertions of the Police to again get him in its power. Yester- day morning, about one o’clock, Moses Van Hough- ton, one of the Insurance watch, discovered a man on the stoop of the boot and shoe store of James Lennon, No. 133 Fulton street, who moved off in rather a suspicious manner on his approach. About half-past three, he saw the same individual back again, and found that he wasengaged in attemptin; to force the door with a large chisel, he having al: ready succeeded in drawing out the bolt of the lock, and one of the inside bolts of the door, but his pro- gress was still impeded by a padlock, which he was endeavoring to pry off. The watchman arrested the bold burglar, and on bringing him before the magistrate, he was recognised as the long sought for Bill Gray. He was sent below to answer this and the numerous charges against him, and will not escape so easily again. “Tre Two-Fackp Frencuman.”—We mentioned, under this cameees a few days since, the arrest of a fellow named Frank Burke, alias Chaune~y C. Lar- kins, who had swindled several tradeemen out of goods by reptesenting himself to be both Jerome and Gabriel Ravel. He was introduced by one of the victimised to Mr. Joseph E. Ayres, of 203 Mer- cer street, under the name of Jerome Ravel, as a desirable customer, and Mr. Ayres entrusted him with a gold watch and chain worth $160, which he was to purchase for cash, after he had ascertained its valne. Mr. Ayres, of course, soon discovered he had been imposed on, and employed late peaty keeper Ruckle to recover his property. This indefa- tigablé officer traced Larkins to Albany, where he went, in company with {ke Young, who there as- sumed the name of Frank Fayard, a noted pick- pocket, and with the name, it appears, he adopted the habits of Frank, ashe robbed Larkins 0° Mr. Ayres’ waich, and $85in money, as the latter made affidavit before the Albany magistrates, in which he styles the fictitious Fayard as his clerk. He also passed himself off circus rider, a M.D, &c., smong the Albanians, Young was arrested by the Albany police, but liberated again when Larkins’ arrest in this city was known there. Ruckle re- covered the watch and chain, and returned to the city on Friday night in the steamboat Swallow.— ‘ke Young hanpened to come down in the same ‘oat, and managed to rob Mr. George B. Card, of Lansingburg of a coat, pencil case, and other a cles contained in the pockets, He was at once ar- ested, and onthe arrival of the boat, sent to the pyerteday keep company with his friend Larkins, Evry "liteves —Sebepal of this class were yes- terday ticketed for the peor Sil Sessions at both of- fees; among the number were Margaret Cosgrove, who fancied splendid easy chair belonging to Wil- liam B.

The coroner was cent for to hold an inguest on the body Jast evening, and had not 5 ata late hour. heifers, Van Buren with his putrid cabbages, Cal- houn with his gold mines, or Johnson with his odoriferous mistress, affect? The Captain has had an eye to this movement a long time—for example his selecting granny Jones as his organ, and appointing sundry old women in breeches, to office here and elsewhere. It is cur- rently believed that the majority of the heads of bureaux in the different departments are, really old matrons dressed up in pants, for they are querulous, lazy, imbecile and ignorant. This ia a great mis- take on the part of the Captain—let him put out the old ’uns, send them to the alms house, book them for a porringer of soup every day, and put in their place young, rosy-cheeked, snowy-bosomed, swan- necked, bright-eyed, dimple-chinned women, one smile from whose lips will set the blood circling through one’s veins, and push government a-head with double steam power. This is my great scheme of reform ; it involves no expense ; and if Capt. Ty- ler adopts it, and you devote the Herald, with its 50,000 subscribers, and vast moral, religious, litera- ry, social and political influence to its support, his administration will triumph over all the cliques and factions now banded against it, Black Danis deci- dedly in favor of the projet, and swears that he in- tends to begin it by recalling mother Jenifer, from Vienna, and sending out a Yankee girl, who will pump Metternich out of. every secret in leas than no time. To make a selection, is really the object of his visit down east ; Madame Sears isa prominent appli- cant, but Dan says we are now represented by old women at all the northern courts, and he ia de- termined to appoint a young one. Miss Reynolds may get the appointment. By the way, the divine creature looks more lovely than ever, and hundreds are sighing at her feet. Two or three members of Congress remain here on the pretext of attending to business, but it is the influence of this magnificent woman, that detains them. Buchanan, of Penn- sylvania, was deeply smitten; King, of Alabama, is broken-hearted, and poor Cuthbert actually had a fit. The Reynolds pitied them; she was kind, but how could she love men whose hvads are actually crisped with the frost Chane No, no ! my word for it, when this gifted and amiable lady, does bestow the heaven of her charms, it will be on one who can properly estimate the priceless value, | the incalculable affluence of such « treasure —not on the beau of half a century—the hacknied gallants of every woman who has flirted, and figured, and festivalled in the dissipated circles of the metropolis for twenty years—men, who, however wise in council or elo- quent in debate, would feel exceedingly awkward if they should happen to win a lovely woman, in the god Rae mee of her perfections. I can imagine nothing more silly, and nothing is more certain than the catastrophe that would ensue. My advice to all gentlemen over fifty, particularly if they have lived Albany.

Dear Sin :— One of those beautiful and charming afternoons last week, arm in arm with an entertaining friend, we paid a visit to the Alms House. After we ar- rived and rested awhile, we held a sociable chat with its obliging superintendent, from whom we gathered some knowledge of the various characters, inmates of the establishment. We then strolled throughout the grounds, taking a view of the or- derly arrangement ia which every thing was kept. Ina large square, enclosed by the building, we halted, to look at the singular beings that were walking to and fro. The old, young, halt, blind; lame, ugliness, and uty, vice and virtue, all combined in one satlee Brow, each acting a part in the great drama ot life. ‘e were then ushered [Correspondence of the Herald.)

Eprror :— Our city for the few past days has been without news of peculiar interest, nor is there any thing this morning of moment. Various arrangements are being made to celebrate, appropriately, the coming Twelfth, the Anniversary of the Battle of North Point. Our military generally will be out, besides numerous societies The original and celebrated Washington Temperance Society members are going to York, Pa., to spend the day. There is a ia bene looking up in business. Mer- chants generally inform me that there is manifested a greater disposition to purchase by their customers, Manufaetories are being commenced ina sinali way. The fact is, confidence is being restored.— The banks are anxious to let out their money on good paper. Dear Sir :— I am a constant reader of your paper, and oc- casionally see articles published giving accounts of events that are taking place in this city, but I do not think you are regularly advised, and am induced to send you this as a commencement of a regular correspondence, which will be continued should you wish, cr if you find my letters worth the post- age. Inthe first place, Iam pleased to inform you that your paper is in great demand here, and it would be gratifying to you could you see with what avidity it is demanded when first put on the Bulletin boards at the Merchant’s Reading Rooms. We have enjoyed good weather up to a few weeks since, when a few cases uf yellow fever made their five years here, is to “let the gals alone,” and marry widows or old maids of years nearly equal to theirown. We shall then hear less of divorces, elopements, intrigues and crim. cons.; and society would become eesidealy, more virtuous. There is a considerable stir here—sub rosa as yet —in one of our churches. It is whispered that a minister of the orthodox faith has recently exhibited a strong tendency to Puseyism, which is, in fact, Catholicism; butas he is a man of great influence, many efforts are being secretly made to hush the matter up, and a handsome addition to his salary is talked of ; but where is the needful to come from? You may perhaps call spirits from the vasty deep, like the witch of Endor, you may be able to re- animate the ghastly for rs and visages of the dead, but it requires a more potent spell to raise money in this poverty-stricken city. Congress, by its misera- ble, contemptible vote-catching, ad captandum re- trenchment process, has starved out our clerks, re- duced them to the lowest point at which men can possioly live, as if to ascertain how much human nature can endure, and yet they are compelled to hold on to the little that is left, with the grip of a dying man, Let no man seek a clerkship at Wasl ington ; it isa hard and thankless service—an ol scure and toilsome berth ; poor pene sure to die; and the moment you are installed into office, you may write over your walls the despairing words of Dante, “He who enters here leaves all hope behind.” In very wretchedness the poor clerk, disappointed in Sean of promotion, becomes reckless. He loses heart and works like a machine; his dreams are never realized, and the waters of bitterness overflow his soul. To be successful, he must be the toady of some swollen superior; he must hang on the skirts of an integning Con- gressman, or, more revolting still, play the spy and informer to the party in power; must stoop to tricks that dam up forever the fountains of honor, and bring promotion and infamy and self-degrada- tion hand in hand. If he scorn to do this, and feels the dignity of an honest man, as Pope and Burns felt it, in the noblest creations of their intellect, he 1s doomed to a long life of profitless service, or an early and unhonored tomb. No flowers bloom in his péth, and when the woman he has loved plants one upon his grave, the very pittance that she thus poner employs must deprive her little orphans of ameal! Andfthis is a clerkship, so much sought for, so much envied, at Washington, by those who do not know its horrid detai tter, far better, go out in the forest—to bivouac on some distant lake —to nestle on the flower-scented prairies, and hew outa living from wood and earth, than seek a glit- tering bauble that always disappoints. Why, | once knew a $1000 clerk lay three days a corpse before money enough to provide for his interment could be procured; and his wretched family, an aged mother, two sisters, a wife and seven children—but I will draw a veil ever so much misery, nor detail the vicissitudes that carried some to an early grave, consigred others to the scanty charity of an alms- house, and one, so lovely, so innocent, yet, alas! too easily deceived, to a fate I shudder to think of. She lives yet, aud if her eye falls on these lines, she will recognise in the hand that traces them, one that was once raised to avenge her dishonor, but was stayed by her overwhelming tenderness for the destroyer of her fame. Poor, poor Magdalen ! Your walk now is dreary and desolate ; indred and friends are gone—fled forever the bright brow that only innocence can wear ; and yet in thy des- titution, lost and guilty as you are, you are less cri- minal than many that judge you. T never think of you without wishing that your pilgrimage may close invoking on the false one the curse of heaven; and yet 1 know your meek spirit would reproach me, for your last prayer will be for the betrayer. Such iswoman! Such the sublime and enduring character of her affections, and such, alas! is too often her destiny in thisgiddy metropolis. Yours truly, F.F.F. Og The attractionsat the American Museumhave been doubled this week, as will be seen by the ad- yertisement. An extraordinary variety of amuse- ments are offered here for 25 cents.

The late President and Cashier have been out in the papers endeavouring to do away with the bad impression that the report has given to their characters , but in the opinion of most mer- chants they are only making things worse. The commissioners appeinted to liquidate this concern have commenced suits against President, Cashier, and Directors for mal-administration, and it is to be hoped they will be obliged to make good the losses caused by their mismanagement, to use the softest term. ag The new crop of cotton is arriving very freely ; it is thus far of good quality ; as the usua purcha- sers have net yet made their appearance, the prices obtained for the few aales that have been made can be no criteriou of how it will open when business fairly commences.

The Bistop has, without consulting the members, appointdl a person who is not agreeable to them, and the haye refused to acknowledge him, or pay out an/ funds for his support, or of those priests who may Asist him in his duties. The Bishop, after convening a meeting of all the clergy, has issued whathe calls a pastoral letter, requesting the mem- bersto meet and submit to his will before the 1st of September, under pain of severe steps on his part. ‘They in reply laugh at the idea of excommunication, Xc., in this country, deny his right to hold his office, &c, How it will end, or which pear will conquer, time must tell, though, judging rom the character of the men who compose the Board of Wardens, I am led to think they will get the best of it.

Dixon completed yesterday his great feat of walk- ing seventy-eight successive hours, before a large unbroken company—for he has been watched with an eye of great suspicion, from the moment of the commencement. He was visited during the per- formance of the feat by many hundreds, and up to the last afforded them much merriment by his wit and exuberance of spirits.

The windows were open, and sometimes the cool breeze would play over his fea- tures, which refreshed him much, and threw back his raven curls, displaying one of the finest and most intellectual foreheads we ever saw. The countenance was aitte, familiar, and as we leant over the couch, calling to memory the calendar of names we had known in past years, a thought struck usastowho it could be; perhaps a young man of superior intellect, an adventurer, who, after havin buffeted with the rude storms of adversity, had left home and all that was dear to seek a fortune in the western wilds; lesa once the pride of his famil —the fondest hope of parente—whose boyhood’s days were fullof sunshine, and bright anticipations, only to be blasted in future years by the cold neglect of an unfeeling and heartless world; for when he would speak of his native home, of all the associa- tions connected with it—of brothers and sisters with whom he had passed such happy hours, the big tears would steal down his withered and blanched face, when he would tremblingly say, “Oh! how hard is it for one to die frem among his kindred!” Then quickly the countenance would lighten upas if some faint ray of hope had glanced through the mind. but alas for the vanity of earthly wishes! death had lanted his icy sceptre in the bosom of his victim. ft was useless to repine—and as gazing on that me- lancholy pictnre we could not but drop a tear over poor human nature—in th'nking what shadows we are, and what shadows we pursue. In the same lace were some c~nvalescents.

He asked for food, which when brought, he grasped with aridity, then seated himself ina dark corner on a bundle of straw, where he remained until the door Darar Sir— Last Wednesday a man was discovered on Twelth street, near the canal, in the last agonies of death, having been stabbed in the breast with asmall dirk of knife ; the body was discovered by some butchets who were returning from Portland. No one was nigh at the time the butchers first observed the dying man. After they had loitered there for some five or ten minutes, @ woman approached them crying most piteously for the murder of her husband. The tions, have been offered, as Sarsaparilla. Indeed, many members of the medical’ profession go the h’ of de- aying in toto, the efficacy of this invaluable drug, and they have led to this disbelief of its virtues, by the wretehed mixtures which have been and are at’ present palmed on the public, as genuine extracts of the article. ‘The College desire no stronger and more intelligible proof of the worthlessness of these mixtures, than that evidence which is afforded by the very advertisements of their manufacturers. The frequent extravagant puffs which are thrust before the public, bear on their front the impress of the most impudent quackery.
