Jack Frost is decidedly afraid of making his appear- ance in public, and we have abandoned the hope of seeing him in-Paris, for this wiuter. If this state of continues, the trees of the public gardens will soom be in full blossom, and, even as an instance of what ts to take place in that line, the celebrated horse-chestaut tree of the 20th March, 1814, which ‘was oovered with leaves at that tine, when Emporor Napoleon returned from the Island of Biba, is al- ready showing its germs, which aro as big as hen'y eggs. Inthe gardens around Paris the Bengal rose trees are covered with flowers, the almond, peach and apple trees are i: full bloom, and we see arriving trem Marseilles fresh pears and raspberries, and from Perriguex and Bourg, strawberries in small baskets. Artichokes and asparagas are to be bought the market, and new potatoes have been sold last three days ia several places. In the the rain has began to fall since last night, of fine weather and brilliant sun, and the river Seine is overflowing its banks above and below Paria. No doubt the same weather has been experienced in the neighboring departments; and Yhis state of the temperature threatens, in the at- most degree, the harvest of the yoar. In several places the stalks of corn are two feet high, and somo | are blooming. As a matter of course, the learned agricniturists and agronomists have made researches to know | if a like phenomenon has been remarked before, and they have found that the winters of the years 1172, 1829, 1421, 1558, 1572, 1535, 1607, 1659, 1653, and 1807, had been as mild as spring seasons, and that they afforded the most extraordinary irre Flowers of all kinds had been seen in the garéen: ‘The grape vines were blooming in April; and parti- oujarly in 1672, the foliage appeared in January on ‘the trees, and the birds made their nests in l’ebraary. By all this, it seems to me that the planet on | which wer@meliving is an old woman, kaowlag not much what she is about. In the Pyrénées, at Fox and Bayonne, a violent shock of an earthquake was felt on the 5th inst., and a few hours after a snow storm covered the whole country with snow. The gay season of fashionable Paris commenced last night at the Tuileries, and it is to be hoped shat we shall have a short bat good carnival. On the 16th imst., M. Berger, the Prefect of La Seine, | ‘opens the City Hall to 6,000 guests; and on the 25th the Senate of Paris will give a grand ball to the di- plomatic, political, and fashionable world. The toilets of the ladies last night, at the imperial! ball, offered a very brilliant cowp d’a:l, and the most extraordinary disploy of silks, natural and artificial flowers, diamonds, pearls, and other jewels, was H witnessed by the bewildered admirers who had come there to see, and not to shine. Never has luxary been carried to such 2 foolish extent, and it is thought many wise le, that we are near a very terrific phen oft bankrupts : cf ‘ye The Bourse of Paris offers already a terrible prog- nostic of that crisis, fer it is clear that for the last two weeks the stocks of all sorts are falling down with great rapidity. Many ae have been on “change, apd many others are near at hand. This state of things makes us remember the ruin of the system of law, and the ex- seme es roe Quin poix. What next ? ‘evertheless, the mizhty capital of Europe, Paris, is like an ati with a huge stomach to fill. The sta- tistics, just ee ee expenses of the great city during the last year, give the following ficures for the drinks, &«.; swallowed in Paris :—1,2%7, gallons of all sorts of wines; 110,494 gallons of ale and 118,794,499 francs worth of all sorts of catables ‘This is really not too much for Paris, is it’ There hav ‘deen born $9,572 children, male aud female; and the deaths amounted to 51,6, of both sexes. The num- ber of unmarried people is 10,233, divided as follows: Bachelors and maids, 8,062; bachelors and widows, 645; widowers and maids, 1,064; widows and widow- ers, 463, Another curious statistic worth being sons aged 100 years: two aged 101 y 102 years; three 103 years old; two L04 years old; one 105 old; one 117 years old, and, last,a woman named Mme. Douvion, from Candenac, who died in the 120th year of Ler age. The shops which have been built on the Boulevards by the petit merchants of Paris, are slowly disap- —_ from that public thoroughfare, and within a few days (on the isth inet.) they will be totally de- quite encumbered with these wooden buildings.

Every one knows that Mr. Pierce is an honorable man. I¢ remains to know if he will be strong enough to resist the impulsion of his own party.

Let us de- sire that he has both the will and power to do so. ‘Tho Loss of the Packet St. George. INQUIRY INTQTHE CONDUCT OF THE CAPTAIN AND OFFICE HY LOBT AND SAVED. We read in they Débats of the 20th ult. that an investi n held on the 8th Janu- ary, by the United States Consul and merchants at Havre, whither the surviving passengers and crew of the emigrant ship St. George, burned at sea on the 24th December last, were conveyed by the Orlando, into the conduct of Captain Bamiston and his officers in abandoning the burning ship without taking mea- sures to save the passengers. Several witnesses were examined, and the captain himself admitted the fact charged, but alleged that he intended to have re- turned to his vessel, but that he was prevented from doing so bp a severe injury he had received in get- ting into the boat. Mr. Featherstonbaugh, the British Consul, pro- posed the following resolution, which was adopted as the judgment of the court :— Desolved, as the opinion of the Court of Inquiry assembled at the Consulate of Havre, to exunine | into the conduct of the officers of the American mer- | chant ship St. George, lost in her voyage from Havre to New York, Mr. Winslow being President of said | 6 | Speaking to Europe, who has very important in- have a vote on 1 al afluirs ; that only @ suc- | terests to preserve in Aimorica—‘In re not | cessful and brave general should be at the head of | in our relations with the petty snd weal; leave us } 8 : siete ty ‘ Se i ei heir territories hat is no business of | tt government, with the other rals as his ma- | yours.

McCormick. was confined in the House of Refuge, and by his good behavior had more privileges allowed him than the other inmates. ‘homas, with this privilege, mana; to gain the affections of Bridget J. Moran, a hired domestic ia the establishment. McCormick managed to effect his escape, and eluded all endeavors to capture him, until Cupid urged the necessity of sending a letter to “the girl he left behind him.’” This letter came into e possession of Thomas G. Rutherford, Suj tendent of the Hanse of Refugg, The superinten- dent at once availed himself of the opportunity thus offered, to entrap the runaway and lover. A letter was prepared in an assumed hand, and sent to Me- Connick, at Norristown, at which place his letter was directed. The following is a copy of the loving epistie:— August 14, 1862, Tear—I got your letior safe I was glad to got it L have not time to say much I dont expect to stay here but @ few cays I want out to Inek for a place Mrs. R. sea I may go and luck out for 2 or & days Dear ef you can mete me Twill come too Norristown in the trane witch leaves Philadelphia at 3 on Monday in the afternoon dont forget Dont come to the city by 20 means I have a good deal to tel you Direct your letter too Mary Ann Mullen Phils I fere they expeckt romething.

Her brother be- came indignant at the course pursued by the su intendent, and prosecuted him for forgery. Wir. Rutherford was held to bail in $1,000 to answer the charge. On Saturday the case came up on a writ of habeas corpus, and after some sharp remarks by the lawyers, for the defendant and prosecution, Judge Thompson stated the act dil not constitute for; ” and the defendant was therefore discharged. Phila- delphia Register, Feb. 7. Frorma Inptans.—A correspondent of the Jacksonville News, whose communication is lished with the endorsement of the editor of paper, advocates the application of the principle of ‘still hanting” for the removal of the Indians from Florida. We make the following quotations from the communication:—“ The plan ‘which I propose is one that J suggested three years ago, and which, if it had been adopted, would have removed every Indian ia less than three months, and_saved the government at least a million ofdollars. It is this: ‘That the State of Florida shall take the matter in ite own bands, and offer high rewards for killing and capturing the If $1,200 be offered for each war rior captu! ive, $1,000 for each warrior killed, and $500 for each woman or child captured alive— | but few of them will be either killed or captured be- fore the rest will hasten in and surrender at discre- tion. Saas | however, that it might be neces- sary to kill forty of the warriors (one-third of their whole number) before the rest became terrified at being waylaid and “still hunted,” the whole ex- pense would be but $40,000, and this sum the geneml government would be bound to refund. One great advantage in this plan is, that if none be killed nor captured, there will be nothing to psy— its expense will only be commensurate with its suc- cess—and as all other plans, though attended with vast expense, have signally failed, would it not be wice to give this one a trial? It is because they still hunt us thatone hundred of them can make themselves formidable to cighty thousand people. ‘There savages have been for fifteen years laughing at our marching columns, or our puerile diplomacy, regarding us with no more dread than the boy in the apple tree did the old man when he pelted bim with grass.
