NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Wednesday, November 12, 1845. = —— War at Last !—-T and Field against Stock-Jobbers 1 Administration ! Every day brings forth new developinents relative to the importance which the Oregon question will assume in the approaching session of Congress, and every faction and party, including the stock- jobbing cliques, are taking ground rapidly, either for ‘or against the policy of the administration in that We have already alluded to the stock- jobbing journals of Wall street, as taking up a po- sition in reference to this question preparatory to the opening of Congress, and we extract from one of the leading ones—the Courier § Enquirer—ot yesterday, the following important article, which is infused with a feeling and a spirit of bitterness that can exist only in the souls of persons who may be short ot stocks, or whose operations in the board of brokers, or on the Bourse, may be defeated by the uprising of the country in reference to Oregon and the position of Mr. Polk on the all-exeiting question, ‘The appeal to the democracy is formally made by the Union, sir Polk’s hired organ, to stand by the adminis- tration in its plainly avowed purpose to Tefuse all con- n or compromise respecting Oregon. insolence of such an appeal is only equalled by orum in a government paper. enary, paid outof the public purse to ngs of a party chief, thus venture, by impli- tigmatise all who do not belong to its party, to the country? And how conscious must cessio as faith his emp on when they prompted this ap- peul—that they have not a case upon which they can venture to go to the country, and ask its honest, its unbi- ed judgment. é We have in our day seen many imprudent, many false issues made by party papers—but these for the most pert reterred fo local or domestic questions, or interests, but never until now have We seen, on @ great national ques- tion, an issue made on the mere factious ground of party Happily the Union exercises, of its own authority, lit- fluence, and we might smile, but for its insolence sindecorum, at the presumption, that to it, and its belongs all the patriotism of the nation. he country must now bestir itself—if it wish to ayoid being hurried into a war with England. ‘This man- ifesto of the Univn, in addition to previous givings out, in that quarter, render it certain, that the party test is to be applied to the subject of Oregon—and that party in- tereste, aud not those of the republic, are to govern its decision. : Will considerate and patriotic men of the democratic party sanction such a course as this? Is there to be no common grouxd upon which we may all meet as Ameri- cans? No honest and intelligent man of the party in power believes that ina comtest with a foreign govern- Mnent, the whigs will fall behind their opponents, in aught that may conduce to the honor or the welfare of the country. So foul an imputation could only come from a man who is hiaself hired ata price to do any work set before him, and therefore eels that he might be hired to write against what he now supports, as readily as to utter what is now set dowa forkin— or from the poor creatures whom the seething political cauldron has Cast up into high places of which they are unworthy But the appeal being authoritively made to the demo- cracy for Oregon and the whole of Oregon, at once and at every hazard, we join issue with the government pa- per on the appeal, and we too appeal to the democracy not as members of a party—but as Americans—as fair dealing, responsible, Christian men, to come up honestly and frankly to the consideration of this question—and to resolve it, as Common sense, common justice, the inter- , the honor, and the conscience of the country shall direct If alter thirty years of acquiescence on our part in the joint occupation of Oregon, by ourselves with the English—of which the result thus far is, that six Ame- rican to one English settler are established there—and of which, if further prolonged, the not less certain re- sult will be, that in another thirty years or less, the Ame- rican population will possess the country—if in view of such results, it shall on calm examination be deter- mined by Congress and the country, that we must wait no longer, but at once proceed to the exclusive occupa- tion of the whole territory—be it so—but let the matter be first examined culmly So again, if, after inviting, or consenting to, a nego- tiation with Great Britain, for the settlement of the contested claim of ownership—and after the mutual ap- pointment of a minister to conduct that negotiation— thereby necessarily implying that there are room and cause for negotiation—it shall be determined by Con- gress, without the occurrence in the intervening time of any new facts bearing on fhe question of title—to con- sider this negotiation as a nullity—and to seize upon and appropsiate the whole matter in dispute—be it fo— but again we say, let us first examine calmly the whole ground Finally—if in a condition of universal prosperity—of peace, contentment and abundance—when all the cha- es of our nature find full and profitable scope, in multiplying institutions for the succor and consola- tion of those of our brethren, stricken with hopeless disease, or disabled by infirmity or calamity—when schools are sown broadcast over the land, and side by side, churches, wherein is preached that religion h bids us to do unto others as we would they suould nto us—when from generatlon to generation, we do have not known the sound of war—and have no training nor preparations for its perils—if, under such circum- stances, and in relation to a question which can be hono- rably and amicably settled by any disinterested third par- ongress shall determine that the sword must be wn—so be it; but again we call upon Congress, and those whose welfare the action of Congress 18 to effect sy deeply the people—to look well and calmly at the whole question. If after such deliberation and such decision, war must come, it will be found by the democracy and their lead- ers, be they who they may, that when and where honor and country call, he or they among them who shall take the lead of whigs, must, inthe words of the gallant a in Florida, have “their head-quarters in the sad- e” But for the sake of securing the printing of Congress to the venal government organ, the whigs cannot, and we trust the democracy will not, be duped into joining in the war-cry put forth by the Union of Thursday even- ing last. Such is the position at present occupied by the leading organ of the Wall street stock-jobbers. Its views are given with unusual explicitness and de- cision, and the whole significant article is probably intended to give the cue for future operations to other parties throughout the country. Yet it is dif- ficult to know the exact bearing of all these move- ments and elaborate efiorts to operate upon public opinion with reference to the past history of some of the great eras of successful stock-jobbing—a bu- siness which hasengaged some of the greatest in- tellects of modern times, and also employed—e. g. the respectable journalist from whose columns we have extracted the foregoing article—some ot the most shallow-brained of the species ‘The careerof Thiers, the distinguished statesman and historian, aflords a memorable and striking il- lustratien of the success of stock-jobbing operations when conducted by individuals possessed of great political influence and power, and at a period when popular movernents are of that character which ad- mit of their being sagaciously directed. Thiers commenced as a feuilletonist—a newspaper writer —and found his way to the Chamber of Deputies. ‘There he soon distinguished himself, attained the ce ster of a great party leader, and eventually tound himself occupying place of first minister of the government of France. Here was the theatre of those gigantic operations in the stock market, which realized for him and his confederates in the magnificent scheme, fortunes commensurate with the grandeur of their plans. When the differences arose between England and France on questions arising out of the Quintuple Treaty, Thiers stimu- Jated to the utmost the warlike feeling which ani- mated the French people. Public spirit was aroused. A war with England was elamorously demanded ‘Ime government augmented the naval force, and strengthened the publie defences. Louis Phillippe did his part in the matter of the Paris fortifications. Every movement of the government, springing ap- parently from the most patriotic impulses, only in- creased the intensity of the popular excitement in favor of a war. Stocks fell daily. Those in the secret knew well how to operate. Immense trans- actions in the stock market were effected by the confederates, and many millions of francs were pocketed by them. Thiers himself realized a princely fortune ; retired from the ministry at the proper time, and was succeeded by Guizot, who dopted an altogether different line of policy, and ‘hus the scheme was consummated. ‘'n this country, we are at this moment rapidly proaching a crisis similar to that so successfully created and improved by Thiers in France. Mr. Polk may not understand the crisis in this aspect. Bat there may be those about him that understand | 1 very well. Mr. Webster understands it. ‘Che stock-jobbers of Wall street understand it. All these classes are interested in creating a war panic. And these very articles of the Courier and kindred | prints, and the speeches of shrewd whig leaders, who speculate in other things than the éleetions, deprecating a war—declaiming against the war feeling—denouneing the course of the President on the Oregon question, are all designed to stimulate that very spirit which they ostensibly seek to re- pre No better means of irritating the feverish wmpulses of the democracy could be devised than that. And we are quite prepared to see, less than six months, such a war panic, as will “tell” most effectually on stocks of | Sewerage or tux Crry.—The Mayor has sent | all kinds. These ingenious etlorts to stimulate the | message to the Common Council, directing their at" war feeling, may even materially assist in not only | tention to the state of the sewers.

Thiers got out of the business quietly. But the pre- sent case is different. Other influences are at work, other men are at work. The imfluences are less controllable—the men less sagacious, perhaps; less powerful, certainly. Such, then, is the presént position of affairs, and such the obvious tendency of events. The Courier’s articles in this respect become interesting and sig- nificant. It is easy seeing what it aims at and | whose interests it serves. As for settled principle, | our contemporary don’t deal in the article. He has been for and against Texas. He has been for and | against California. He has been for and against Oregon. But to give the devil his due, he has al- ways been tolerably consistent in sticking to such a course as was likely to serve the pocket irrespective of principle,—at least as consistent asa weak head — would let him. We will see with what success those who now have him ‘in hand will use his jour- nal. The stock-jobbing cliques are now fairly at work, the devil as usualat their back, and the events and impulses of the age and the country greatly in their favor. So down go stocks and down goes ho- nesty, and down goes patriotism, and up go rogue- ry, and craft and cunning. Great times these, and turn thou yet again and thou wilt see greater than | these. Tue Srockx-Jossinc Organ in Watt Srreet.— There isa singular nondescript animal, which in- habits a portion of the deserts of Arabia, about the centre of that sandy waste, which possesses a curi- ous character, not mentioned in Buffon’s Natural History, but which is described at large in a chap- ter of the Talmud, of the edition of 795, written by a monk in Upper Egypt, during the Caliphat of the celebrated Mirzah. This animal is something be- tween a man and a monkey, with a little touch of the bull dog about the head. It has a prodigious head—but not much in it—a great quantity of hair round about it, and very extensive extremities.— When there is no dahger, and no apprehensionof danger, the animal becomes very erect, and looks as if it would swallow all the monkeys in that region, and eat up every animal that runs over the desert. But when any real piece of courage peeps over the next hill with a gun, the animal has instinct enough to rush to the first bush, and bury its head amongst the brambles and roots, leaving all its extremities | exposed, just in the manner that the ostrich isaccus- tomed to do, when very hard pursued, so that the traveller has nothing to do but put his ball through the extremities of this animal, and then bag him. This is the way that we mean to do with our highly respectable contemporary of the Courter and Enquirer, the leading stock-jobbing journal of the universe, who has more ignorance, and less sense, and a larger amount of absurdity mixed with his ra- tional faculties, than any other genius connected with the newspaper press. In the Courier of Saturday last, 1t was very grave- ly asserted that Camman & Whitehouse, brokers, of this city, had made a heavy transaction in the stock market, and that they did so under the diree- tion of Corcoran & Riggs, bankers, of Washing- _ ton. We referred, in appropriate terms, to this statement, and quoted it in our paper of Monday.— Well, out comes the Coumer, yesterday, retracts the statement—acknowledges that it had told a false- hood in relation to Corcoran & Riggs, and yet after thus showing its whole extremities, and burying its head in the sand, it has the coolness and absurdity to turn round and say that the Herald published a falsehood! Did ever any one hear of such a blundering blockhead? We made no statement whatever on the subject. We simply quoted the statement of the Courier, for the purpose of ccn- demning it—a statement which the Courier itself acknowledges to be false, and yet, only think of it, the sapient animal has the effrontery to accuse us of publishing a falsehood! Perhaps there never was another instance illustrative of more folly, absurdity and impudence combined, than that now furnished by the Courier in this matter. But all this is quite in keeping with the character of the great stock-job- bing organ. The whole thing arises from the con- fusion of hisideas, anda silliness, which reminds us of the quarrels of schoolboys. One says to ano- ther, “ Your capis on the right side of your head !” “*No, you lie,” shouts the other. ‘You lie,” is quickly retorted—“ you lie”’—* you lie’—and thus it is kept up, just as is the case with our highly re- spectable contemporary of the leading stock-jobbing journal of the universe. In fact, if he would live to the age of Methuselah, he would still be a school bey, with all his ignorance, prejudice, presumption and greenness. IMPROVEMENTS IN THE Crry.—An application has been made to the corporation for permission to open William street through to the head of Chambers street, and also to widen it, so as to make it a com- modious and beautiful thoroughfare. This would, indeed, be a most desirable improvement. Broad- way, below Chambers street, is so crowded by the immense and constant flow of passengers and vehi- cles of all descriptions, that it is exceedingly desir- able to increase the dimensions and conveniences ol the adjacent thoroughfares parallel to it, so as to extend the facilities for the prosecution of all sorts of business in this densely crowded and bustling portion of the city. A splendid block of buildings has been recently erected in William street, by a number of Pearl street jobbers, who intend establishing themselves inthat new locality, Several very fine new build- ings have been erected in the same neighborhood, On the corner of Nassau and John streets, a very spaccous and elegant block of warehouses and stores has been lately erected. A new bank has been opened on the corner of William and Fulton streets ; and Beach intends opening another in the latter street, in the building of which he now occu- pies a portion. We will soon have three or four banks in that streets. It is, indeed, fast becoming one of the greatest business streets in the city, and when the Erie Railroad is completed, and its ferry established at the North Riverend of the street, it will be the great avenue leading to Long Island, Boston, New Jersey, and allthe route traversed by the Erie Railroad. In a very short time, Fulton street will be one of the greatest and handsomest business streets in the United States. Crrricism.—Our contemporary of the Courter gy Enquirer had rather an interesting article yester- day on musical and theatrical criticism, in which he berates. with some apparent discretion,those who run into the ecstatics on the great artists of the day, instead of criticising with nice philosophical acu- men their merits,and treating them as talented men, and not as angels and beings of another world Yet the same critic while he can find fault with such er- rors and such extravagance in others, forgets those which he has himself exhibited in the very same line. On many occasions when private motives and interests operated, we have seen in these very jour- nals, now exclaiming against the transcendental style of criticism, notices of the most extravagant character. We refer particularly to the attempt re- cently made in a certain portion of the newspaper preas here to make a prodigious star of Mr. Mur- dock, who was a very good second-rete artist, with some excellent qualities, and also some very bad points about him. Sreamsnir Gatveston, Captain J. 'T. Wright, left our port yesterday morning, for New Orleans, with the very small compliment of 179 cabin, and 47 steerage passengers, of which nearly one-half were females. The Galveston is to run ona line with the New York between New Orleans and Galveston. She is a fleet and most beautifully formed vessel, and it is ha she will make the passage in six or seven | days. re | various parts of the provinces. civic authonitiesand the community,as the sewerage of the city. One of the very first things which disa- greeably attracts the notice of an intelligent travel- ler on arriving in New York, is the filthy condition of the streets, arising not only from the miserable pavements and negligence of the scavengers, bu; also from the total absence of a proper system of sewerage. Even in Broadway, the principal tho- roughfare, deep open gutters line the street on each side, and at almostevery corner up town the passage of vehicles is rendered a work of no little difficulty and hazard, in consequence of the broad, deep gul- lies which interrupt their progress. But the wretched condition of the city in this respect is known to every body. And yet, year after year, whilst the city has gone on increasing and increasing, the evil | has been allowed to continue and grow. Now that the Croton water has been introduced, and such abundant means of making a good system of sewerage perfectly successful, we trust that the subject will be taken up with promptitude and vigor. The cleanliness, and, of course, the health of the city are dependent, in a great degree, on the construction of properly constructed sewers in all the streets, and the matter should not be any longer neglected. Arming Canapa.—We see in the Canada pa- pers notices of active preparations for war in Several mili- tary buildings are to be immediately erected on the Longueuil shore, and large purchases of land, oppo- site St. Helens, have been made for that purpose. Several barracks also are in process of erection at the Coteau St. Luis, and on the island of St. He- lens. These facts, taken in connection with the | same sort of activity in England and the intention of the English government to increase the military force in Canada, ought not to escape the attention of the administration in Washington. Navat Arrarrs.—It 1s a fact, far from being | agreeable to any one, that the United States have | now no vessel of war in the Mediterranean, the frigate Cumberland, the flag ship for that station, having arrived at Boston last Sunday, and the sloop of war Plymouth having sailed for the Brazils. In times of peace, when no war is in anticipation, the temporary absence of a fleet from any one station may be an unimportant event ; but in times like the present, itis necessary to have as full an exhibition of our naval energy abroad as is possible. Theatricals. Panx Tuarre.—Last evening Mr. and Mrs.a@{ean made their second appearance during this engagement at the Park Theatre. A very full house was in attendance to witness the fine personations of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, by Mr. and M given an elaborate criticism of their delineations of thes characters, and consider it unnecessary to repeat it. This evening the benefit of Mrs. Kean will take place, when the play of “The Strangerwill be performed.

The natural sweetness of “disposition, the remem- brance of and repentance for past misdeeds, which she so beautifully represented, made a deep impression upon the hearts of her audience.

Bowery Tueatne.—The tragedy of “ Julius Cesar,’ as announced for last evening, was postponed, in conse- quence of the illness of Mr. Davenport, who was to have played the part of “Brutus.” The admired and popular tragedy of “ Virginius” was substituted—bringing out an effective caste of character, whose admirable perform. ance, in consideration of the shortness of the time una- voidably allowed for rehearsal—if the company had the advantage of such at all—was highly creditable to them. ‘The splendid Roman costume displayed in the piece—the entire plot—the denoument, is admirably calculated to win upon an auditory, and has ever made this beautiful Kean, We have previously she earth is a humbug—the plancts a humbug— é Ou REWELL -As the bril liant career of Ole Bull in this country draws toa close, erything concerning him becomes interesting.

Ole Bull has taken a leaf from the book of Fanny sler, and made «a speech. Some of the evening papers may call this humbug, but we think it will be found that the people like such humbug.

Success to hem and all such, Laxpinc or an Evernanr.—Our reporter returned to the office between one and two o’clock this morning, after seeing the safe disembarkation of one of the ele- hants of Van Amburg, from the packet ship Toronto ately arrived from England. He thinks it very unrea sonable that after his making a pilgrimage to that distant art of the city where the ship lies, and encountering on Ris way thither sundry carts which emitted villainous odors, the old fool of an elephant should have come ashore Without making the least fuss. "Although our. reporter had no desire that the landing of his elephantahip should have been the occasion of a “sad catastrophe” or “melan choly casuality,” still if, any thing of the Kind occur- red, he was cocked and primed, and had his pencil sharp- ened to dish it up to the readers of this days Herald. As it is, he must be content with saying, that no incident worth recording happened, and the elephant is, by this time, safe at his quarters in Harlem. Poor Fezrow.—We saw last evening a most respec- table looking man, lying stretched at full length on the | steps of the Astor House, ina state of insensible drun- kenness. Upon inquiring who he was, we found that he was a respectable gentleman from Philadelphia, and that | arriving here on business a few days since, fell in with | some friends who made him intoxicated and left him, since which time he has been continually drunk. A friend of his, stopping at the Astor, recognized him, and had him taken care of. Steamer Gauyeston.—This now steamer left the dock at the foot of Clinton street yesterday morning at 10 | o’olock. Alarge crowd of spectators had gathered on the wharf and one of the piers in the vicinity for the pur- pose of seeing her off. She is one of the neate and most beautiful models we ever saw. She is about 600 tons burthen. She is owned by Charles Mor- gan, Eaq., the enterprising proprietor of the steamer ew York, which he has been running for several years between New Orleans and Galveston. Mer hull was built by Wm, H. Brown; her ongino by T. F. Se- cor & Co., and her joiner work was done by that prince of all joiners. Charles M. Simonson. She is fitted up with great taste and elegance. She proceeds from here to Charleston, 8. C.; thence to Havana—thence to Key West, and after that to New Orleans. She will then run permanently between New Orleans and Galveston, ‘exas.

Rat Catenixa.—We saw amost original genius yes" terday passing along the street with a large wirocage filled with rats, who were playing about in all directions | Tunping, leaping, and jumping upon each other's backs, as playful and merry as kittens. The philosopher who them makes a regular business of catching them.— He will undertake to clear rats ont of any establishment. ‘The manner in which he does it, is merely placing a pa- | per, containing some powder, in the cage, when the rate | will all flock to it. He isa genius in his way,and will probably find plenty of employment. Saxe or Cuixese Goons.—The sale of Chinese goods yesterday at the new auction store of Messrs. Draper, Dias & Warren, attracted quite a large crowd. As a general thing the goods were of a very inforior quality and very much disappointed the visitors. Among other articles several shawls were sold which brought the following prices :—1 8-4 embroidered crape $41; 1 7.4 do $1450; 67-4.at $11 each; 5do ai $12. About half the shaws were sold when they were withdrawn on account of the low prices brought. | Arremrten Svicipx.—Officer O’Brien, of the 14th | ward, yesterday called upon to take charge of a erson mamed Augustus A.

Travellers passing through our town occasionally, let the world know through the columns of the Herald that such a place exists, But apart from these transient no- tices, the our goodly burghand burghers make, beyond the narrow limits of the , is rather insignifi-, cant. The time hasbeen w! our various moves on the political, social and religious chess-boards were watched with some degree of interest, and the circle of our influence somewhat extended. Our present obscu- rity, and want of importance, arises mainly, however, | from the want of a government—an ingredient which enters somewhat essentially into the condition and con- uence of any people. ‘The locofoco party did us the honor last fall to elect a chief magistrate ; but since the ii ion, i been a mooted point among curious { f all parties, whether the said chief magistrate is in esse or not. Some assert that Francis R. Skunk hovers round the scenes of his boyhood’s years, down in the far-famed La Trappe ; others believe that to the detriment of all | such small matters as the interests of the Common- wealth, his time is solely occupied in preparing a learned and erudite work, which shall establish to the satisfaction of antiquarians, philologists and heralds in inte! and important all time to come, two deeply cts, which have heretofore been the study and con- sideration of his life. The first of these recondite ‘pro- blems to be demonstrated is, that the aforesaid La Trappe should It with two p's instead of wit been the vulgar custom. The second is, tl known and unclassic name of Shunk is 4 corruption in- cident to our barbarous tongue of Deshcng. The family ipt. at which I have had & peep ex gratia) were originally of Huguenot extrac- tion, and dwelt in the sunny plains of Provenck the land of love and troubadours. The most distingu: ed of the name, who has perpetuated its honor, was Guil laume Deshong, a minstrel of the court of Henri Quatre, and who in an old lay, still oxtant, sang that monarch’s success at the famous battle of Ivry. After the revoca- tion of the edict of Nantes, to avoid the persecution which visited his sect, he fled to this land of religious to- leration, and laid the foundation of their greatness, which has flowed in varied, but uninterrupted channels down to the present time. _ This is certainly a labor of love for our worthy Execu- tive, and prosecuted no doubt con amore—but we would suggest whether the people of Pennsylvania are as deop- ly interested in the genealogy of a family, as they are in the just, energetic, and wise administration of their O- veriment; and whether they pay annually, without ‘receiving even a’ social’ entertainment as an equivalent. The truth is, the affairs of our ancient and beloved commonwealth are in such weak hands, that all parties concur in letting it Linger out its existence unmolested. Jn after times, if the history of our State should be written, the term of Gov. Shunk will be marked as an in- terregnum, to prove how quietly and peaceably wo could live in the absence of a supreme power to direct and control us. The old Keystone is no longer the battle-ground of political strife. The lines of political demarcation once drawn so broadly and wide, no longer exist. The tariff, heretofore considered peculiarly a Pennsylvania institu- tion, excites little or no interest except amongst the iron lors. A weak attempt is making to get up a Conven- tion to meet some time this month, to deter Congress from altering or modifying the present system of duties, espe- cially those in relation to iron. But it is doubtful whether they succeed in raising a corporal’s guard to attend. Our | delegation, both in Senate and House, will no doubt unanimously support the existing tari ply because im | our people have been drilled into the belief that the very bread and butter they devour is the gift of this wonderful Jamp ; and the continuance of those edible supplies rests solely on its perpetuity. Now, our ambitious Solons relying and acting upon tuis delusion, have hung their political destinies to its skirts, and with it they ‘oal is, however, the great sta- ple of Pennsylvania—and its coal’ mines, our trea- fury, to which, and to which alone, we must look for the extinguishment of our blighting debt. [ron is found throughout the Union, and will soon cease to be a monopoly with us. And this cherished interest, which is so securely protected by enormous duties, will be found tofresult in enriching a few without being benefi- cial to the many, but, in fact, burdensome and oppressive This will soon become poccally known, and our narrow-minded great men will be com- pelled to hunt up some other hobby to gull the people and ride into power. ‘The Herald circulates here as elsewhere, amongst in- telligent men and women of all c: »who are anxious he nation and the NG@ULAR CasE.—Tobias Goodwin, aged about — years, died in the Jail at Smithfield, in the neigh- boring county of Johnston, on the 2d of October. He was convicted of murder, at the last Spring Term of the Superior Court for that county. He took an appeal to the last Supreme Court, when the judgment was affirmed, and His Honor, Judge Settle, at the last Term in John- ston, sentenced him to be hung on the 10th of October When the miserable man was brought out to receive hi awful sentence, his haggard form, worn down to a shad- ow by disease—his cadaverous face—! unken and lus- treless eye—excited universal pity. His head was sup- ported by some friends, while the Judgment of Death was pronounced. Honor postponed the execution of his sentence for three weeks, hoping, no doubt, that death would anticipate the sentence of the law. ‘The convict ate nothing for more thana week before his death. It hough he seemed to be in the last stages of consumption, and said that he had no appetite for food. It may be, also, and many suppose it true, that his offence was, in fact, only manslaughter, or homicide of even lighter grade. He had killed his brother in a rencontre, when no one wos present. lie admitted the killing before a witness, but gave no explanation of tke occurrence. The law’ pre- sumes a homicide unexplained, to be murder. A convic | tion for murder was inevitable. And he may have been a victim of a harsh legal presumption. Three days bo- fore his death, when he must have known he could not live even long enough to be hung, he gave to the Sheriff and several other gentlemen, an account of the matter, which might have mado it barely a case of manslaughter —certainly not one of murder. ‘Those who listened to is tale in'the solitude of his dungeon, believed it. But the homicide was proved, and it was unexplained—it was therefore murder, by presumption of law. The Jury, on the testimony, were obliged to convict, and the Judge was obliged to sentence. But is it not awful that such should be the the law ? Ordinarily, in the smallest cases, a man is presumed to be innocent until he is proved to be Guilty. | Hore, when his life is the forfeit, the defendant, who has killed his fellow being, is presumed to be guil- ty of murder, the highest grade of homicide, unless he prove himself innocent! unless he have it in his power to prove circumstances that mitigate the offence. How can he do it, when two are together without witnesses, and ono kills the other? One may attempt to rob the other andjbe killed ; and the slayer ma: hung? Is not not this a propor matter for legislation? Instead of presuming the worst, ought not the presumption to be reversed : ought not the slayer to be presumed to have committed the lighter offence, until proofs fasten upon him the graver crime ?—Raleigh (N.C.) Register, Oct. 31 Tyre Serrinc Macutve.—Several type-setting machines have, within as many past years, been in- 8 made ; yet none have proved of practical importance.— One of these machines has, however, recently been in- vented in Vienna, which is said to have “ glready proved perfectly practical,” and which, itis also fought, will ave an incalculable effect on the periodical press.” Its external structure is like that of a piano, with aset of 121 keys or touches, intwo rows ; the one broad and the other narrow.
