Dr. Ryder, President of the College of the Holy Crogs, in Worcester, Mass., preached in St. Peter’s church, Barclay street, in this city, yesterday. He selected for his text the sixth chap- terof St. John, 52d verse : “If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever.” In the words quoted for your consideration, Dr. Ryder said, you will readily anticipate the divine theme on which I mean to address you; and in the contemplation of this heavenly doctrine, I cannot but figure to myself the position which the Catholic church holds in regard to it, and the object of admira- tion she must thereby be to the christian and philoso. pher. The Catholic church alone believes that, inthe adorable Eucharist, the Saviour has given, under the form of bread and wine, his sacred body and blood, for the ealvation of the world. Inthe Eucharist ia per- petuated the mystery of redemption, by which we are enabled to give to the Almighty God. in this world, that pure homage and worship which he pre-eminently dererves, but which neither in heaven nor on the earth does he receive, except in the Kucharistic sacri- fice of the Catholic church. It is in that God is wor shipped, as he deserves tobe, and that not by the merit of the individual who offers the sacrifice, but b the intrinsic effteacy of the divine oblation, by whic bis name is made glorious fro.1 the rising to the setting of the sun. In contemplating this sacrifice, | cannot but observe that the Catholic church. surrounded like a chaste Susanno, charged by all Jiscordant denomina- tions as the faithless ¢pouse of Christ, as the betrayer of his faith; yet who alone figures to the world the perfvc- tion of the god-man, that he ts devoted to the world, that be has displayed bis ineffable charity and wisdom in the mort ertimable manner [8 that the character of a faitblers spouse? Ix it in human nature that she would forfeit her faith in eulogising him whom she be- trayed? No, it is not. Again, the Catholic church has been accused of introducing this sacrifice of the Eucharist Well, if she has, she is entitied to admira- tion for.so doing. The Catholic churoh has invented the doctrine of the real presence, the doctrine of tran- substantiation, by whion the effments of bread and wine are changed into the body gnd blood of Christ. It is said that this is incompreff@isible, It is incom: prebensible; but yet, for a periou ot eighteen hundred Jeare, the Catholic church has convinced the proudest intellects of the truth of this divine institution, The records of primitive christianity are full of the doc- rine which we are accused of Raving invented Ail the intellect of man has been arraigned against this doctrine, and every effort has been made to subvert it; but yet never, in one solitary instance, hasan argument been adduced against it which the Catholic chucrh has not been able to answer, But the truth is, the Catho- lie church is the faithful spouse of Christ. She has not invented the «cctrines which she propounds to her children ; butit is the revelations which God has made tothat church, She is but the depository of the faith which she has been told to guard, and which she has guarded and will guard, even to the consum- mation of the world. Everything connected with the Euobarist is, therefore. nothing less than revelation de by God to her for the instruction of man; and that onvince you all,and such of mydissenting breth- re within hearing cf me, | will give you a few of the arguments of the Catholic church on'the subject of the real presence ; and for the greater elucidation of it, I will propose to your consideration the language of the Saviour, in which he promises to institute this sacrifice, and will afterwards show that the divine Saviour has really instituted that which he promised, In the sixth chapter of St. John, the first part of which I have already read, he uses such language as is perfectly consistent with the doctrines of the Ca- tholic church, and perfectly incompatible with those | of our dissenting brethren, They believe, in the Ku- charist, that there is nothing but the mere represen- tative of the body and biood cf Christ. The Catholic church. on the other hand, believes that the bread and wine are changed into the real body and blood, con- tinuing under the external form of bread and wine. In the firist place then, our Saviour says, “ The bread I will give is my flesh for the life of the world *? There is no posstbiliey of connecting the person of Christ with mere fait v ? Because, he had already spoken of faith, and is there speaking of that whicn intended togive. That bread which | will give, he 8, implying something for the future, which he in- ded to eetablish. The proposition is convertible. It is identical. It will mean the e, Whether you take the second or the first part. “The bread [ will give is my flesh for the life of the world,” or my flesh tor the life of the world is the bread which I will give. Now, can it be supposed that our divine Saviour meaut his flesh and bleod figuratively? No, and I am free to say, that if he fad said so it would have been absurd, because we have not beem re- deemed by the mere representatives of the body and blood of Christ, but by his real flesh—ead blood If a figure only is intended, then we olivis- tinns must admit that we have been redeemed by @ mere figure. I proceed—“ The Jews, therefore, atrove” among themeelves; taying, how can this man give ug his flesh to eat? ‘here is no mistaking the signification which they applied to the words. They understood him his real flesh and blood. Now, what was the answer of Jesus to those who made thisremark? “ Amen, amen. Unless you eat the fiesh of the Sonof Man and | drink of his blood, you shall not have life in you? There is av answer in keeping with the belief which bo had formed. And. he adds, “He that eateta my flesh and drinketh my blood hath everlasting life, and Does he who eateth the figure of my flesh,&c.? Not at all H becaure the figure is not identical with everlasting life, apd therefore we have a claim,from partaking of the humanity of Goa, to resurrection and an immortalstate hereafter, because the seeds of immortality arein us, Again, he says “ For my flesh is meat, indeed, and my blood is drink, indeed.’’ Will you change thislanguage of the Saviour? Can you change it? Now, take this language as it is. and say whether the Saviour meant only @ figure. It is not a figure, but real flesh and blood which he meant. Again, he says, “ He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood, abidethin me and lin him.” How cana person be said to abide in Christ, if you look upon him only as afigure? But he can abide in you and youin him, when his flesh and blood are partaken imreality. Now, here is the eluci- dation of the doctrine which the Saviour gives—“ As the living father has sent me, and I live by the to he that eateth me the same shall live by me.” I here invoke your attention. and ask you do you believe the divinity of Christ? Of course do. Now our divine Saviour says that he who receives the Eucharist shall live. By what? By figure or in reality ? There is the question. As Christ is God, God isequal to the father, because the same nature is in both, and consequently Christ is the true God as much Father, because the same nature is common to both, and he who partakes of the real flesh and blood part fhim. This is a deciaration which ought to make us feel grateful for exaiting us to be partakers of the flesh and blood of God. Again, “ this is bread that came down from heavea. Not as your fathers manna and are dead, he that eateth this bread shail live for ever.’ Nowthis must not be pass- ed over. Let me personate a Jew for a moment. \our Jesus, | would say, has dec! d he gave you bread su. perior to that which our fathers got in the desert; | my bread is superior, both in figure and in substance | its properties are more in accordance with the divine gift, and it is far superior in reality, We find, on the pages of revelation that the manna, on which the Isrwelites fed for forty yeure, is called the bread of angels, and its properties were wonderful, I would, as a Jew, say, is the bread which you partake of ejital to this manna? Itdoes not descend from heaven except figuratively, The Jew would, therefore, triumph over the divine Savior, and tay that he has failed in his promise to give bread superior to the manna, You annot answer this. but the Catholic can. The bread of the Eucharist of the Catholic church is as superior to'manna as Christ is superior to anything earthly, an‘ thus thy christian would triumph over the Jew. Now the Scripture tells us that he was teaching the people at the time, d therefore, it was in his character aa teacher he ppiied the intelligence which they needed Many, therefore of his disciples, when they heard chia, said, “ This is hard, and who can believe it?” [tis lard to believe that it is the real flesh and blood which is meant, but it is hard only because it is true, because ; but substitute the language of the Church of England and there is no difficulty in it.— Again, it is clear and evident that the divine Saviour meant his body and blood in reality. under the ap- pearance of bread and wine, “But Jesus, knowing teat some of bis disciples murmured, ke.;”’ as much as to say, you doubt what say, not remembering that, a few minutes before, I showed my omnipotence by multiplying the loaves and fishes. What if you thould see me ascend to heaven, would you believe it more readily?

Madame Rachel 1s a character of great impor- tance to Paris at this time, for the French could no more live without theatres than without wine, bread, and some other luxuries which are so fa- shionable here. She plays at the “Theatre Repub- lique,”* where the French design to have the best Thave heard her several times, and no one can fail to see that she possesses performers in Europe. remarkable talent. Here the best French is spoken —itis the standard pronunciation for the world. The court of France, and all the courts of Europe, bow tothe French pronunciation at this theatre. There is very little scenery; the whole interest consists in the remarkable power of the actors,— Some twenty years ago, Madame Rachel wasa little beggar girlin Paris. She appeared upon the Parisian stage in tragedy, at the age of seventeen, and was successful. She now stands at the head of her profession, and holds France and Europe at her command--she commands their purses, their language, and rules their hearts when they come ithin the range of her voice and her action.-- ery night, when she plays, leng processions, called here ‘*queues,” form for each entrance, and extend many yards back, and the earliest gets the first entrance, and the last must go to the end | ot the gueue; for no crowding is permitted. Two and two the queue forms, and stands fer hours waiting for the door to open. Such is the order and precision in Paris, in all these matters, that a person having once taken his place in the queue, can leave it, asking his neighbor to preserve it for him, and no one will attempt to take it; and if he does, a police officer will remove him imme- diately. Ladies and gentlemen stand in these queucs for one or two hours, and sometimes more. An Englieh gentleman said to me, “ Pa- tience, in France, is necessary to obtain a place, and strength, in London.” And such 1s the fact’ Madame Rachel has a younger sister, who is very pretty, who plays exceedingly well ; the sym- pathetic, especially. She cries beautifully, im- plores admirably, and kneels gracefully. Vor these, as well as her good acting in general, she receives abundant applause. But the french au- dience is very severe in its criticisms, and none but a_ first-rate actor can appear upon the stage of this theatre without being instantly hissed off.— In some of the bolder parts of Madame Rachel’s acting, I have seen the entire house in sach rap- tures of apol -use, from the parterre to the amphi- theatre, that her acting, for a minute perhaps, was euspended. I never saw any other actress, or actor achieve such a victory over such an audience. Here the position of such an ac- tress, or actor, is hardly second to that of General Cavaignac himselt—so great 1s the admiration of the French tor such scenes of interest and instruc- tion. The Fiench theatre is a pattern of propri- ety and order for the people of any countrys there is no fourth tier for a certain class of te males—each person has his place in his pox; and every element of disorder and of indegerum is excluded from the house, and no act 18 admitted upon the stage until it has received the approba- tion of the censors, Itis a truth, that whatever may be the private habits of the French, and their manner of cultivating socialism, their public ex- ample 1s a pattern for the world. The only ex- ception to th s remark is their masked balls, and their dances, in the summer, at the “Chateau Rouge,” and other places ot a similar character, upon the ground, where their style of dancing i “rather familiar.” At all these places, the ladie3 atténd as spectators; and atthe masked balls, if they please, they join in the dance and the con- versauion, when ail the impudent, cutting, and bitter things are said that the ingenuity of man or woman can invent. This is etiquette there, at which no one takes offence, for if he does, he soon rerents of it; for there is no mercy shown to him where the young girls dress in pants, Of course queer things are said, and such a scene opens up to view an- other side of the French character, and a funny side it is, too. This side of the picture may be traced throughout France, from the mistresses of the monarchs and the princes, down to the masked ball dancer, dressed in hat and pantaloons, and concealed under an external decorum, generally of remarkable propriety and grace. Vulgar man- | ners, in France, offead against taste; in that view, It 18 exceedingly offensive ; whatever vio- lates public taste and phar receives no favor. There isa time and place for all things, is the French idea. E The Aseembly are proposing 9,000,000 of francs for the poer of Paris, this winter. The Mumster of Finance reports that the expenses of the go- vernment amount to a million of trancsa day, be- yond the income; and at this rate, the govern- ment 1s in condition for seventeen months.

You have the present condition of Germany in a | sentence, when I tell you that the war dogs are howling throughout the very length and breadth of the land. The cry 1s blood, war to the knife, and extermination. The assembly at Frankfort is for- gotten in the scenes of terror that hover over the imperial city of Vienna, and,while Ipenthese lines, | all hearts are filled with the awful forebodings that, in this moment, her palaces, and her treasures of ancient lore, may be crackling in the flames lighted by civil war, or smouldering in the ashes soaked by the bleed of her people. The awful blow has been struck that 1s to decide the fate of Austria and of Germany, and between the races has begun. from the sirocco of the south may kindle the flames that are here eek to burst forth. The radical party of Germany has espoused the cause of the Hungarians againsijthe Sclavoniong, and 130 of the radical members of Frankfort, have sent on an address of sympathy, with five of | their principal men, to the German partyfin Vie na. The intentions of the central power of Frank- fort are as yet unknown ; the crisis is so respon- | sible that no man dares to act, and the case so critical that all precedent and policy fail. Tue | fact that the German part of Austria is represent- ed in Frankfort makes the question of incaleula- ble importance to German interests, and the radi- cal members insist on intervention with German troops. The moderate party seem to think it the duty to consider this a domestic affair as they have hitherto done, and oppose an intervention. The Archduke John and the minister-preside being Austrians, makes the question more dilli- cult for them—it 18 one of twenty millions of Sclavomians against six millions of Germans, for the empire of Austria, and the name that has so long been prominent in the annals of [urope threatens to disappear from her records, Austria must become Sclavonian or crumble into dissolu- tion, The cry of reaction agajnst the move- ments of Jellachich does not give a clear idea of the state of the case; it 18 a war of races, rather than a contest of principle, and the house of Haps- burg, seeing itself threatened with annihilation by the liberal movements of Germany, has thrown itseli into the only arms that can save it. The flight, this ume, is not to inpeacaa loyal as the valleys and the mountains of the Tyrol may be— no, Prague 18 now the seat of the Imperial court, and wil revenge itself on the Germans for the bloed and still gaping wounds of the awful days of June. The Sclavonian members of the Vienna Diet have already protested ggainst the fraction left in Vienna, and are preparing to meet in Braun, the capital of Moravia, or in Prague. The Scla- vonians claim the waters of the Danube, the Sane and the Drave; it is they who claim the shores of the Adriatic and the heights of the Caspathians, and they are Teady tc back these claims with th blood of miliions.”'Thisgis no common question— itis one on Which depénds the fate of a great part of Europe, and a festering abscess which has been ripening for years, and has row burst with a fiend- like tury. here is but one solution to this Gor- dean knot, namely: the annihilation of the Impe- rial femily of Austria, and the dissolution of the empire into its elements ; the archduchy of Aus- tiaand Tyrol, which are German, would then fail to the Germanic Confederation, Hangary, establish an independent government, and Scla- vonia rise as a new member in the great family of nations, These would be the dictates of common sense, but will scarcely be realized until the heads of the Houge of Ha vain are brought to the block.

TWO CENTS. Progue and Moravia to Vienna, and strengthening the Lee of the Croats under Jellachich, and he and Windisch-Gratz will soon have 100,000 men with which to move against the capital and the Hungarians. And these men are not doubtful, for they are not Germans but Sclavonians; with hearts burning with venom, and panting for the combat and vengeance. In the mean while the capital 1s the scene of the wildest disorder, and totally destitute of men equal to the greatness of the mo- ment. The Academic Legion 1s the provisional government, and its precipitation is almost a gua- rantee of ruin. Every man is armed to the teeth, and the city 1s preparing for a siege; but there is no system, no discipline possible in such incohe- rent masses, when called on to face a regularly organized army. ‘Terror 1s in every heart, and no less than 24,000 fugitives have arrived at Prague, and all that can escape fly. The capital of Bohe- mia has become a second Coblentz, and is filled with emigrés. The murder of Latour, the Minister of War, proves that the leaders in Vienna have no com- mand of the forces that they have conjured up, and Ged knows where a second outbreak of popular passion may end. An eye-witness to this fiendish assassination gives the account minutely as fol- lows :—**Latour was seized in his bureau, and his skull fractured with the butt-end of a musket; then dragged down stairs by the heels ; he was shot; his eyes were picked out, and he was then hung to a hook before the entry to the war office. This was not sufficient; he was taken down, stripped naked, and pieces of his body were cut off an paraded to the public by men and women! Finally, his mu- tilated body was hung to a lamp-post in an open square ; the rope broke, and the falling corpse was received with shouts of laughter, and again sus- pended with a stronger cord.” After this, it is. no wonder that the imperial family resolved to fly; especially as the people did not hesitate to deman: the heads of the Archduchess Sophia and the Arch- duke Louis, The Emperor himself 1s so harmless that no one would think of touching him ; but his imbecility is exactly what produced all the diffi- culty in Austria ; the people know too well that the measures of the court do not proceed trom him, but are the result of the intrigues daily spun arouhd him. A long residence in Vienna gave me aa op- portunity of trequently seeing the royal family, and a little sketch may not be unprofitable, at a period when the eyes of all Europe are turned on their fortunes. ‘I'he Emperor 1s but the relic of a man; he was never distinguished for mental capacity in early lite, and, at a later period, a condition of complete mental infirmity seemed to take posses- sion ofhim. The impression made by his features is that of imbecility, without doing him injustice. The Empress is a fine, majestic looking lady, of ordinary powers of mind, but perfectly destitute of the knowledge or the tact to govern. She remains entirely aloot from public life, and is bigotedly de- voted to religion and religious ceremonies. Thus the power passes into other hands than those which are supposed to govern. These are, first, the Arch- duke Louis, uncle of the Emperor, and brother of the celebrated Emperor Francis the Second. He is the man who ruled the empire, with Metternich, until the revolution—a man of the old régzne, re- markable for nothing but for having grown old in the exercise of despotic power, and learned to go- vern by rote, and with an obstinacy which twenty revolutions would not break. The next is the Archduke Francis Charles, brother of the Empe- ror, and successor to the throne ; a man of mode- rate capacities, with no other desire but to have owers sel in the present stormy period. The grand stum- bling-block in the way of the people is his wife, the much dreaded Archduchess Sophia—a Bavari- an princess. Panting to have the imperial honors on her brow, she would hail the abdication ot the Emperor with joy; and, to tell the trath, she 13 the only man in the family. Ambitious and full of in- trgue, she 1s ready to seize any cord that will strengthen her own position and tighten the fetters of, the people. Metternieh’s flight gave her the reins, and she acted under cover jor some time.— She was the mainspring of everything that was done at Innspruck, while the court was there; and since their return she has intrigued with Jellachich and the 1 obility. Her object is to secure the crown at all hazards; but the people know her. The relic of the Diet left at Vienna have aemanded her ban- ishment, and the people were eager for her head. Her success with Jellachich remains to be seen. In the meanwhile, all is anxiety. Vienna has given the impulse, and the tide of revolution threatens to roll on. Berlin is fermenting ; Munich 1s ready to sound the tocsin at the first cry of distress from Vienna; and a few daysmay see the crusades pour- ig toward the shores of the Danube. Russia has broken silence and crossed the Pruth, with a pro- bability that she will join herself withthe Emperor | of Austria and the Sclavonians, against the Ger- mans in Vienna. And then what will Milan do ? What will Radetzky do, with Croats and Hunga- Tians in the same camp? Time alone can tell. The Result of the Presidenti a Canadian Potnt of V {From the Toronto Examiner, Nov, 15.] The hero of Resaca de la Palma, Buena Vista, and Monterey, has become President of the Uni- ted States Republic. The prestige of a military name secured him the nomination, and the whigs, seeking a trumph, by joining their fortunes to his military popularity, have carried him into the President’s chair. Butthe triumph is something different from merely a whig victory, something less than a repudiation of the principles of the de- mocrats. If General Taylor never tully commit- ted himeelf to the principles of the whig party, and never opposed himself to those of the opposite party, he rather owes his electionto the disseve- rance of old party ties, than to the triumph of any He declared himself the candi- Election in wi nominated General Cass, 1t was a question whe- ther he should not be taken up by the democrats. It he had any political principles he concealed them, and either party had something to hope and litde to fearfrom his snecess. The democrats, believing themselves able to elect a man who em- braced all the articles of their political creed,soon decided that it would be unisale to aceept one of unknown or equivocal principles, and their choice fellon General Cass. The whigs, knowing that they could not elect any prominent man of their party—that to run pay Clay was to meet cer- tain defeat—that Daniel Webster was never able to carry more than a single State—selected Gen. Taylor, not for his principles, but with the hope that his popularity would more than balance the deficiency of their party when fairly placed in the scale, without any extraneous adjuncts, against the other great, and, in most instances, success- ful party. General Taylor, thus converted into a make weight, has proved sufficient for the purpose of those who made use of him.— Bow he will draw in party harness, after his re- peated declaraticns that he would not be the can- didate or the President of a party, remains to be seen. Itis already manitest that the party who joined their otherwise desperate fortunes to his po- pularity, now that successhas been secured, will demand of General Taylor that flexibility of cha- racter and complete devotion to the creed of the whigs, which he has pledged himselt before the world to yield to neither whig nor democra Searcely is the fact of his election announced, and | betore the result is definitely ascertained, than the Jeading ive iraanee of the Union demand the repeal of the tariff of 1846. As parties stand at present in Congress, the attempt to revive the tariff of 1842 is a hopeless expedient. The whigs have no more than a nominal majority in the House of Representatives, while they are in a minority in the Senate. Except in the case of the removal by death of some of its members, nearly two years will elapee before any new members be elected to the Senate. Until then the tariff cannot. be dis- turbed. Nor is there any fear that a majority of the protectionists will ever be elected to the Senate. he principle of representation in that house gives each State an equal number of repre- sentatives, two, without reference to the num- ber of inhabitants it may contain. All the new or Western States are decided anti-pto- tectionist, and by their equal influence in the Senate, they prevent the triumph of the sectional Interests of the manufacturing States. The ad- mission of new States will strengthen the tree trade party in the Senate. The whigs will now be very likely to commit a grand mistake. They will regard the election of Gen. Taylor as the tri- umph of the principles of their party. They will mistake the homage paid to the military chieftain for a public devotion to whig principles. This will embolden them to attempt the resuscitation of a protectionist tariff, the exhumation of the Na- tional Bank scheme, vetoed and condemned har- bor bills, and every old issue which the intelli- gence of the country has long since consigned to oblivion. The country, though willing to accept Gen. Taylor as President, is not prepared to assent to these extreme measures; amt that the attempt to carry them will utterly prostrate the party, there 18 evidence in the history of several of the ablest statesmen in the Union to induce the belief. It avails nothing that Daniel Webster and Henry Clay are men of brilliant talents and extraordinary genius; by identitying themselves with unpopular measures, to which they cling with the tenacity of inexorable fanaticism, they sacrificed their chance “of ever gaining the Presidency. Had Gen. Taylor followed in their track, the prestige of a military name would not have sufficed to win for him the highest prize in the gift of the American people. Police Intelligence, “ Serious Affray.”--Under this caption an article appeared in the Herald, of yesterday morning, relative toan émuete in a porter house in Washington street, which stated that a man named John Thompson had his ieg broken. The name of the injured man should have been given Thomas Burke, instead. A man named John Flattery was arrested by officer ream, of the lst ward, and for want of bail committed to pri- son. It was also stated that several gn lege were called upon to attend the man, all of whom refused Such 1s not the fact. Dr. Macgregor was called upon and immediately repaired tothe spot. but finding a total absence of every convenience for setting the limb, which had received a compound fracture, he ad- vieed that the man be at once taken to the hospital, where he could receive the full attention which such anaccident required, He was accordingly taken there Several physicians, however, were called upon, who did refuge to render the necessary aid, Before Justice Lothrop.—The police office, yesterday morning, was not crowded, but still there was a very fair attendance—some few cut faces, bloody noses, and black eyes. Amongst this party was seated a slim looking Irish woman, with rather red face, grey eyes, and brown hair; ber mouth was very compressed with a pair of thin lips, and when she opened her mouth, sho showed the loss of most of her upper front teeth — apparently driven out by the extraordinary length of her tongue—not having suficlent room, This woman was, every few seconds, muttering out—“ You d-—d musquito, you; I'll give you h-Il, yet.” Atlength, the time arrived, and Ellen O’Donnell was called by the magistrate for investigation, and up sho jumped, her eyes flashing fire, and her cheeks like’ fire itself— “That's my name,” said Ellen, looking at the justice, and then at the officer, who is @ man ofsmall stature, and rather juvenile appearance. Evren.—Yes, Judge, that’s the d——n musquito who breught mein ; and [’ll just tell you how it was, ‘The dirty blackguard offered me twenty-five cents to go up an alleyway with him, and because I would n’t do it he brings me to the station house.

Judge, you mus’nt believe him, and if you do believe him, you are no judge anyhow.” All this taik was given by Ellen at the top of her speed, her tongue passing in and out of the aperture made by the loss of her teeth, like the piston rod of a fast locomotive. Macistnate.—I see, Ellen, by your conduct, exactly what you are. I want no better evidence. Eutkn.— Oh, no, by ginger, Judge; I wasn’t any more drunk than I am at this moment, and that he knows d—@ well Maaistrate.—Well, Ellen, I shall have to lock you up until you leave off getting drunk, and giving our officers eo much trouble.

She stood on the defensive, and as the officer approached she let go her right hand which took effect on the oflicer'schin, The other hand caught him by the shirt. Nothing daunted, the offi. cer made a rally, and wentin for the clinch, taking her around the waist, and she in return got him fast by the hair, Laughter increasing in the court officer lifted her rrom her feet, and finding her- self on the removal she struck out her feet at right angles, fastening one against the railing, and ia so doing down they went together (renewed laughter) side by side, the old woman kicking and struggling for the upper position. This she was unable to obtain, the othicer, by a pretty little gymnastic movement, go" his legs over Elien’s, holding her fast, and in this way ined his position. (Great excitement and laughter amongst the loafers) Ellen, finding heraeif over powered, cried out for quarter, aud several other otf. eers went to their aid. She then let go of the officer's id he let her up. She then blessed him with the shocking oaths you could imagine, but was soon ushered down to the Tombs below, where in a solitary cell she can have it all her own way, and thus ended be comical and funny scene between Ellen and the officer. A Detector BowLep Ovr.—Not many months since, three gentlemen of this city found them- svives lounging on the steps of the Astor House, New York, one pleasant afternoon; their countenances as rosy and blooming as Aurora, when it doesn’t rain; and the prominent and paramount ubject in view waa to“ kill Time.” A sturdy old settler is Time, and as tough asa pine knot; he has thrown whole hosts of wrestlers be.ore now, and always comes off victor.
