Her Mojesty’s government appeared to have farored this fale imprerston regarding the desires of the provle ot Newfoundland, for [was reliably toformed that Me, Oraap- ton. the British Mi er at Warhington, was oot author- ized to asrent to apy proposal on this ‘subject in which this colony should forma part When we coa-ider the sddre-s pared the House in its hart session, praying that | Newrourdlwnd sbovld be ivcluced im avy scheme for re- ciprocal trade whieh her Majesty's goverment wight ne- ‘otiate, and the reply to that sddress Iaid betore the louse on the 24d day of February last, it becomes di cult to understand the motives whieh led hec Majesty’: government to communicate a reply which certaiuly em- bodies no antagoni-m to our views, while the instruc: tiowa to Mr Crampton would appear to be of a totally ad- verse chsiacter. Ivis rot recerssry to dwell on the injurious position that would be assigned to the colony dy the effectuation of a scbeme which would leave her excluded I am happy in feelin, red that Bo conjuncture need now be appreherded.

The i As the report of Qaali —— of in the Constitut om Was the jetition of son and otbers, thet word ‘male’? be 0 from the cou evitution, of Abby B. Alooit and «ther women of Marsachusetts, that they may de allowed to vote on the an.endments that may be made to the constitution :— REPORT: ‘That the petitioners have leave to withdraw. The committee feel that 1n waking this zope they should not ¢o justice to themssives or to the intelligeat and respeetabie retitioners, if they did not frankly siate the reasovs on which their conclusion is founded, The petitioners ack that women may be allowad the right of suffrsge in mattere pertaining to polivical affairs. ‘The request ia a nove! cne and, so far as knowa to the committee the first ever presented to any government or other political organization. At the reqnent of the petitioners, a heariag was grant- ed bein at two different sittings of the commictes, aad ten) attention gt to the argumen*s presented by Forecne of eertiug sad ability, of both pexes, who ap- veared in their Debalf. These persons maintained the following proporitions:— 1, ‘hat women are human beings, and. therefore, have bomen rights, one of which is that of haveng a voice in ihe government uader which they live, and in the enact meut of laws they are bound to obey. 2. That women have interests and rights, which are not, in fact, ard never will be anfficieatly goverr ments in which they ere not alowed apy political influer ce. 2 bet they are taxed. and, therefore, sioce taxation avd the right of representation ar udmitted to be iuse- parable, they have a right to be represented, 4 That +0 iar as education aud general intelligence are concerned, they are as well qualified to exarci-e tne elec- tive franchi-e, as many who now en joy that right. 5. Tht in mental capacity avd moral eadowments, they are not inferior to many who now participate in the aifsira of government 6. That there is nothing in their peculiar position, or appropriate cuties which prevents them from takiog a part in poltical »ffairs. Of the truth or fallacy of these several positions, the committee do not tet! called upon to decide. ‘All questions involving the rights and interests of any part of the buman family, should ever be determined by ste well established and generally recognized principle orfundamental maxim of government, otherwise it can vot be expected that such decision will be regarded as reasonable or satisfactory. U what principle, then, shall the present question be cecidea Y The Deciaration of Independence asserts that ‘all goverpments deyive their just powers from the consent of the goverped.”” By the ** consent of the governed,” yhec mmixtee understand the consent, either express oc implied of the persous ecneered. At the present time, there are, within the Svate of Massachusetts, not far from 200 600 women over twenty.one years of age Of there. lers then two thousand have asked to be admitted to the right of suffrage From this fact, the committee ba‘es right to infer, and also from their psrsonal koow- ledge of the views and feelings of the clus of parsous re- ferred to, that a great majority of the women in davsx- churetts do willingly consens that tae goverament of the State should be, as it hitherto bas been, ia the haads of their fathers, busdands, brothe:s aad seus. Of the cor hag of this conclusion the committee entertain no ow Itmay be said in reply to this, that it cannot be justly inferred. from the -ilance of the women of Massachu-etts, that they do consent to tne present limitations of the right of suffrage. But the committee dso iufer, because they know that the women aforesaid ¢o now. acd always bave enjoyed the right of petition to the fullest exent, and bave often exerci-ed that right in behalf of the un- fortura'e and oppressed. andin aid of many noble and bilanthropie objects of legislation. In one esse. is is be- lieved that more than 50,000 women petitioned tha (iene- ral Court for the enactment of a law for the suppression of the sale of intoxicating drinks. It way be forther urged, that by the same course of rearoping it might be shown that those who are held ia howdsge consent to the laws under which they live. But this is not trne. Slaver have no right of petition, Tany cannot make known their wants to the goverament. Tasy are speechless axd helpless, Their whole existence is a stern ana living protest aguinst the wrongs they safer, and they aze kept in subjection only by the steang aria of power. Iu view of there indisputable facts ia relation to the right of petition in this commonealth, enjoyed dy all ita inbbitante of both sexes, the commictee teal justiied ia deciding that a vast proportion cf the vomen of Maasa- chusetts do consent to their political condition, and, therefore. that the powers exercised by the government of this commonwealth over that clsss of its population sre ‘just powers,” and it is inexpedient for this eonven- tion to take any action in relation thereto.

NATHANIEL CHAPMAN, M. D., OF PHILADELPHIA— PERSONAL RECOLLECTIONS, ETC. Dr, Chapman was a native of Virginia. He com- pleted his medical education at the University of Edinborg, having previously been a student of the celebrated Dr. Benjamin Rush. At the time of his residence in the Scottish capital, its University was at its zenith, and its Professorships were filled with many of the most learned and eminent men of Europe. Among other lights which were then rising above the firmament, with whom the Doctor became in- timately acquainte1, were Proagham and Jeffreys, with whom he continued to correspond for some time after his retarn to America. On his return from Europe he chose Philadelphia for the field of his professional career, whizh, at that time, contained a large number of established phy- sicians of the highest rauk known in the country. To a young man withont fortane, however am- bitious, the prospect of success against such odds must have appeared discouraging. The Doctor, however, wns endowed with genius ofabigh order. He wielded a ready aud able pen, aud was pleasant and eloquent as a speaker. Me possessed, withal, a warm, ardent, and social tem: perament, with a good address, which soon drew around him a large circle of friends, of standing and influence. He employed much of his time in medical com- position, and at an early period published disser- tations on different medical subjects; and at a sub- sequent period put on fuot and edited a medical journal of great merit and usefulness. We have not time to follow the Doctor up through all the gra- dations of his professional advancement. We pre- sume that his biography will be given to the world by some party every way competent to do justice to his memory. The writer of this, though at one time a pupil of the dovtor’s, is not familiar with all the details of his parentage and youth. His acquaintance with him | commenced when he had already reached a very high rank aa a lecturer in the University of Pena- sylvania. 1t may be stated, however, that he mar- ried Miss Biddle, of Philadelphia, the sister of Nicho- las Biddle and of Commodore James Biddle, of the U.S. Navy. trims His first introduction to the University of Pennsyl- yania was as professor of Mateiia Medica aad ‘Therapeutics, in 111. This chair he filled with dis- tinguished success. Though his department em- braced subjects, (the materials of mediciue and their application in the cure of disease,) ordinarily cons‘dered dry in descriptive details, yet the Doctor, by dressing them up ina new aud elegant diction, delivered the same in an earnest and eloqueat manner which imparted a new impulse to the ivhole + science. Materia medica, asa branch of medicine had existed previously as an ill urranged jumble of ‘materials, the good being obscured by the worthfess and obsolete absurdities, curative powers being as- cribed to some remedies which they never possessed, while others really valuable, were undervalued or misunderstood in their method of operation, Indeed, from the imperfect state of cheinistry, at that time, many vaunted remedies were known to contain ma- terialschemically antagonistic, and which could do no more in the human stomach than change or nullify each other. The Doctor, in his lectures, ex- | posed all these incongruities. He brought order out of chaos, rejected the rubbish of the science, elevated | those things that were good, and explained the nature and power of their action. His eloquence as a lecturer drew large classes of students, while some of the lecture rooms were Jess ardently attended, even in departments where both the suljjects and materials were more varied and better suited to oratorical displays yet, the Doe- tor never appeared without a full house, and never went through a lecture without receiving openly expressed applavse from those present. The class almost idolized vim. Lhe student always found in him a generoos aud couliding friend. Whether in health or sickness, pec: distress or otber diffi- culty, they always appealed te hit, from whom Lat never jailed to receive kind counsel, professional aid, and even pecuniery assistance when demanded by | the circumstances of the case. His soul was as big and as warm as his cloguenze was elevated. Being deeply read in Euglish and classical literatare, his lectures were interspersed with tbe happiest quota- tions from both ancient and modern works of merit. He also possessed @ very qnently enlivened his su ieee by amasing anecdotes, particllaly when examining his pupils. Pbis he did to remove their diffidence and to give them con- fidence. . Examining his class one day on angina pectoris, one of them said, that suddenly going up stairs pro- duced a difficulty ef breathing, which was a sign of the existence of the disease. ‘ Very well,” said the Doctor ; and, turning to the next, whe was likely to induce an attack 7 When he, after a moment's reflection, replid, “‘ Going down again, sir.” The Doctor said he was wrong, and tbat he should remember the qnotation from Virgil of Facilis decensus Averni.’ This produced conside- rable merriment among the class. On another occasion he was examining them on materia medica, and asked a student for the botani- cal name of Senna, who promptly replied, ‘ Cassia, Senva.” Be then turned to the dull student, and asked him “from what ey is cassia im- ported 1” Who, after tapping his forehead with the end of his fore finger, which was his custom, as thongh intended to elicit thought, very deliberately rephed, ‘ Cassia, si This produced a hearty laugh. “ Where do you find that country, ud asked the Doctor. ‘‘ itis a new couutry not disco- vered yet, [ suppose, sir” The Doctor, without further remark, passed on. It is proper to state, that the student here referred to was of a very rick family, whose incapacity was such that notwithstand- ing every opportunity, he had .ailed to gain any solid education. Jt seemed as though his friends had merely ented him at the Medical University to keep him out of mischief. He sever passed the ordeal for a diploma, and was not heard of atter- wards as holding any important professional or other ORs ir. Chapman was extremely delicate towards the feelings of young men, and even whea they exposed their ignorance, courtesy and delicacy as to relieve them as tar as possible Jrom immediate embarrassinent. Over uf, be was examining his class on the uy s lectare, he reached a young intelligent Virginian, whom he asked a questiva. Tan sat perfectly damb, and slightly colored in the face; the Doctor seeing his embarrass ment, said ‘| haye no doubt sir, but you fully under- stand the question, yet it so happens that young 1 ee emburrassment of the moment, som times are nuable to give an answer.’ “ That is not my case sir,” promptly answered the young man, * I do not understand the question, si ‘his caused the Doctor to blush in return, who immedidiately discon- tinned the cxamination, and commenced his lectur Ou another occasion, he was exuinining the cliss | on intermittent fever; he had in his interrogatories nearly exhausted his subject -all the usual remed'es had been stated, by first one young man, and thea another, not omitting quinine, cobweb, or arsenic, When all thee bad been given, the Doctor turned the next student, and said, “Suppose, sir, all thea’ remedies failed, what would you do next?” wl would recommend travelling, sir, and a change of air, with water, y? replied the young man: “Very good,” said the Doctor, tarning to the next student, And suppose, sir, all these remedies failed, what would you do next?’ }. The student looked eedingly pozzled, as though he hada mind to say the disease might kill the patient, and be hanged. Yethe did notsny it. He simply re- piled “tbat he did netknow.’ “You should re. comfitud a sea voyage,” said the Doctor. thor ght, sir.” rey mode nf travelling.’ get rid of your po the Doctor, 5) lecture, ‘ Hilo wit end humor shono ont with great brilliancy and effect at t parties, was his custom to throw open bi uge to ft] graduating class, weil as occasionally to the students of his private claws, At th jug parties his ¢o, tional powers ell, sir, you wonld at least good humoredly returued nd wittici ail who appronched We shall never for- get the tbr 4 effect produced on a num ber of students of the graduating ¢ surrounded im in the geatlemen’ chamber of his house.

Chapman, when comparativs young man, was previ in 1816 to the Chair of the Theory and . Practice of Medicine ; one of the most important in the school. This was peculiarly fitted to his genius, avd gave scope his hest flights of true eloquence. This chair he continued to fill with the most eminent success, until 1850, when he resigned, and was afterwards honored with the hono- pay te of Emeritus Professor, of the same depart-, ment. When we first ee the pont, entered few! fhe member also of his private class, he appeared both in the full zenith of h’s manhood and of his fame. He was of moderate statue, of mediun height, with fine intellectual features, and extraordi nary brillianey of eyes, which were of a dark blue color.» Of fine health, and preternatural youthful pearance; at forty, looking like a man of twenty- e years, and his lectures being attended with the greatest popularity. We first heard him in a class | of four hendred students. His work on materia me- dica had been published, and formed a text book. His splendid lectures on the theory and practice of physic have never yet, we believe, been published, though many copies of them were taken down in pales by students, and preserved in a manuseript ‘orm. The faculty with whom he was associated at the period to which we have referred, consisted of physic onanatomy; Hare on ee Gibson on surger; e on materia medica; James on obstetecs, and Chapman on the theory and practice of physic. The examinations for a degree were then quite rigid, and jections of candi- dates for degrees were quent. To pass: the ordeal, required laborious and long continued application to study, with general good conduct. This school was not only the oldest, but at the head + of all other schools on the continent. The rigid course pursued with students told upon their future’ | prospects. Many of the graduates of that period rose to high professional rauk in various of the United . | States. Some of them, also, ‘ame eminent civi- fians, and occupied high positions, both in the army and navy, as well as in political life. And, we pre- | sume, none ever regretted the severe intellectual training necessary to procure a degree to which the | were subjected. “Aud none ever left the school wit | their Gina that did not carry away with them the kindliest recollections of ther eminent teachers. | and especial y of Cr. Chapman. It was a member of this facul'y, Dr. Coxe, who, im | 1816, showed the practicability of establishing ar electric telegraph by the dscomposition of water. ‘The last tine we had the honor of meeting our our old preceptor, Dr. Sipe ‘was on a steamboat. bound from Trenton to Philadelphia, in 1849. He had been to New York, on a sort of travellelt. We found him seated, reading s-me new book. Though we had not met for years, he recognized me without diffcuity. He was then in the “sear and yellow lead,” but healthy and visorous tor his years. Devoting a long and useful life in efforts to. | prolong existence in others, he was fast approach- ing the period of his own exit. One of his most eloqnent lectures we ever heard him deliver was on longevity. He dilated upon the constitution- al signs, upoa which hopes of realizing it were found- | ed, giving many curious illustrations of his: views. | He dwelt upon the intiuence of professional and other ursuits upon tbe duration life.

They were evidently portions of an UBS cabin steamer, and they were Scattered for a mile in extent over water. The scene of the wreck was from three to four miles east of Bois Blanc Island, and almost within sight of Machina: Captain Sweet examined with the utmost care the floating fragments of the wreck, but could discover no human being to tell the story of the terrible catastrophe. It would seem that the steamer must have been blown or broken into a thousand pieces, and it is not likely that a sonl has survived. : * Nothing was Known of it in Mackinac, but Capt. Sweet liad learned that two propellors had passed: | down the lakes but 2 few hours before, one of which he met, and the other, which is supposed to be the Bucephalus, is likely to have been the terribly des- | treyed vessel.
