(From the Gazette de France, March 10 } The newa from St. Petersburg speaks ef the remon- stranoes which are said to have been addressed to the Sew Car, by the noblewe, agaiast the arming of the nerfs. We kuow that this measure, which was comprised in the general armament decreed by the Emperor Nicholas, had not met with opposition. If, as is said, its execu- tion now excites reclamations on the part of the nobili- , it ia without doubt because the resolution to eman- cipate the serfs having been long attri uted to the here- ditary prince, now Emperor, it is feared that the arming of thia clase may be « preparatory step to ite accom ishment. P'Whatever, moreover, may be the reality or gravity of the symptoms of agitation brought to us by fhe German journals, it is evident to all enlghtened men, that the Russian empire is on the eve of great reforms, and that it has ceased to be impregnable to the spirit and ideas of the Went. ‘The réle that Russia bas osscyed to fill duricg » quai ter of acentury. and which consisted in serv: counter weight to revolutionary facts, and as a ward dyke to revolutionary tnundations, . therefore, probably at an end; and we have now only to desire that thls people may de conducted in the path of pro- gress with the wisdom and the force wnich will aloue enable it to avoid the abyssee in which we ourselves have fallen for the last sixty years. ‘The soi-disant conservatives of Hurope will therefore see whetber we were well inspired when we forced our- selves to seek the re establishment and recoafirmation of social order in the principles that really constitute it, auch as justice, equity, respect for all rights, and aatistaction ot all jegitimate interests, whilat’ they placed their hopes in arbitrary measures, in compres- sions, and ina silent and final recourse to a material force, which one day or other could not fail to betray them. It may now he said that the conservative system of Europe, such as it was first conceived by Pitt and Burke, then by M. Metterni:h and his school, and lastly by the statesmen of the reign of Louis Philippe, 1s at present in ite lass term. We bave always hela that coalitions, constituent congresses, amd all those leonine acts of a crowned military force, had-prepared more dis- orders than they bad repaired, Had we shared the il- lusions of the conservatives we would have lost those iUusions when we saw all the kings of Europe, and the Emperor Nicholas himself, recognise in France a family usurpation ismuing from & revolation.

Telegragh, April 2 } On Satusday evening last, about 9 o'clock, our village was the scene of the most terriole ang heart-rending tragedy that han ever fallen to our lot to record. Mr. Wiiliem H Spiller. one of our oldest and most respected citizens, brutally murdered by J, Austin Gi of this county. The circumstances, as we learn, these. Mr. Spitler, in company with five or six t ‘was sitting in the barroom of Boyc’e Hotel, engaged in conversation, and not dreaming of sn atiecs from any quarter, when Graham, wno was sitting near them, aud- erly rove, drew a revolver, and commenced firing at Spiller. At the first fire the concussion ex:inguished the lamp, and the utmost confusion prevailed, but Grabam continued to fire until his revolver was exbiusted. By this time the room was cleared and Mr Spiller had reached the pavement in front of the hotel and fallen, whether from accident or 8 woan! is not known. Grabam pursued him, and «hile he was prostrate upon the pavement. placed the muzzl+ of bis sesond pistol at his head and fired several times, killiag him instantly, and then made his escape. ‘the tiring in the bar room resulted in wounding three other geatiemen—Mr. J. Onear Cox, seriously, but it is thonght not dangerously, and Mr. Conally F. Trigg. of Abing- doa, and Mr. Terry, of this plice, sligntly. As soon an the conrternation and confusion escasioned by the horrid deed bad somewhu* subsited, parties of armed men started ig pursuit of the raffian, and at this time several burdred men are prosecuting the search for him, but we are sorry to. hive to ray that all efforts to capture him have eo far been ‘ruitlens, It was reported this morning that he had been seen about eight miles from town. anda party of twenty-five or thirty «tarted immediately for the neighborhood where he had besn seen, and we hope he may he taken to day. For fear that be should escape beyood tbe limits of the county, we give » cescription of his person;—He is aman of abont forty years of age, large frame, about six feet two or three inches high; with black ua‘! ightly sprinkled with gray, short and rather sandy-colored movataches, a good set of teeth, with a laughing, but not a pleasant countenance, when in conversation, aud ® scar upon either of the neck, a little below the angle of the jaw. Grahom usually drestes genteelly, and when he tle! bad oma black cloth suit black satin vest. A reward of a thousand dollars is offered for his appre- dension. It eee that for some time past a man named Grabam bas been paying his attentions to the daughter ef Mr. Spiller, who is reported to be worth about $200,000. Graham was unsuccessful in bis suit, from the fact that the young lady was engaged to be married toa physician named Dr Hamet. Graham, on account of thia state of things, has been very violent, and threatened to tske the life of his rival the firat oppor- tuvity that offered. City Intelligence.

The question “whether there any boys in the establishment’ was addrossod, i neck.” This completes the catalogue of the points in which icle ia Io! support. We are quite willing to qua- statement by the concession of these points, 60 obviously imaaterial; and we pow state explicitly that with this qualification our article of Saturday 18 precise- ly correct, as is distinotly testitied by the ladies a; Rox- bury, whose tstimony would be conclusive in the strict- est court of justice, and will not less readily command assent before the more liberal tribunal of public opinion. If it were worth while to attemat to add anything to th force ot this auverti might sapport it by an affida. vit sworn wo before a justice of the peace. Here, then, is the eridence, pertinent and conclusi easily obtaiwable, which the commities of inquiry have ne jodie thus much with regard to the truth of the statements which we have already made; but as we intimated on ‘Tuesday, there is a new feature nm the acene which we omitted to describe, and to which we now ask the read: er’s attention. In a small chamber in the houre, one of the boarders, a yous lady, whose parents, we beiieve, reside in the island of ba, but who is herself an American b, brth, speabing’ English perfect!y, lay in her bed itl, During the day the sister superior had been upplying leeches to this svfferer, and the disagreeable operation wis scarcely concluded when the ownibuses drove up anil the numerous party @liyhted. The arlvent of this masculine band caused great terror im the school-room: the children literally screamed with fright, The suporior’s first care was to pacify them ani caim their fears; and next, revol- leoting shat effect this noise and ‘the wnexpected arrival suit have upon her young patient up stairs, the superior peeded to her chamber and vid her not be frightened — warned her that she might be disturbed, and’ advised her to appear to be asleep. On receiving the purty in the parlor below, the sister superior mformec them that one of her pupils was ill, lying abed in her chamber, and requested them to make 46 little noise as possible in approaching that part of the houre. We need not tell our readers how gentlemen of ordinary refinement and dignity weuld have benayod ‘m such a case; our business ts to tell what these visiters did. On reaching the chamber where the girl lay, superior stated the fact. Did the ‘ en’? shrink back? No, they pressed forward. One, it is believed, actually entered the room, and at all proached within twelve inches of 1 chamber is scarcely larger than a closet; the bedstead is 8 small iron structure, and is placed close to the door; 20 that the inquisitore, without actually crossing the threchold, coulc carry their presence into its privacy. What were feelings of that weak and suffering girl ar these men hung over her, we shall not at- tempt to describe. They were not content with the view obtained by the ordinary coor. She saw two wen’s heads peering into the room by another door, which was open, at the foot of the bed. To obtain this view these two “gentlemen” must have ‘over ancther bed which stanis across the 0; door-way in an adjoizing room, We trust their ity was gratified. There is no doubt whatever of the facts abcut this matter, We heard them first indirectly, from oue of the supernumerary visiters, We have since made in- ry, end we have ung ionable and direct evidence. ther than thia, we have seen the yoang lacy herself, a girl of twelve or thirteen years of age. she has now bappily recovered her health and her spirits, and we have from her own lips, the simple jory of her trial. Nobedy could look in the frank, open face of that young girl, as timid and blushing, but with entire self-ponsesrion, she answered the sosetions put her, and doubt one word of the story—and he must be porsessed of an effrontery of which we trust the inquisi- tors have the mosopoly in Massachusetts, not to ourn with indignation to think that such things are not only told, but have actually happened. For oursdives, we confess that we were half abashed of the task we had un. dertaken—Mfandum jubere renovare dolorem—when we found ourselves caly hearing the brief tale of what those men did. Is there a mother in Mastachusetts who can read this recital without shudder, recollecting that the Legiala- ture possesses precively as much (and precisely as little) power to authorize such an invasion of her daughter's sick chamber, in any house in the State? But wo are ashamed to place the disgrace of the affair to the ac- count of want of authority, Where was the courtesy, was the decency, where was the humanity of these men’ Suppose the iliness of the girl had more critical than it was—suppose the superior bad not been able to warn her of the approach of the band of in- quisitors—who will answer for the result or defend the proceeding? Truly, ‘at least, and in Massachusetts, “the age of chivalry is gone.” "A modern Burke might even utter s more bitter lament.

This being Good Friday, mo calendars are issued for the law courts. by the janitor of the building, who heard him stumbling about, and brought him to. . Jamtor—What are you looking for? What do you want? RerorTer—I want the Democratic Republican General Committee. Jasrtor—They don’t meet here. Revorrer—But they do meet here; they have advertis- ed to meet here to-day. E, JaxitoR—I can’t help that; I say they don’t meet ere, Rerorrsn—But I have met them here before; where have they gone to, then? Jaxitok—I can’t tell; [have been asked that question five hundred times before; I am bored todeath with that epquirv. Huponnsn—Why ai they advertige here, thent Janitor ~ I asked eman, snd he said it waa be- caure the committee ated to maintain the beiief throughout the country that they met ia their old quer- tera; they did not like to advertise in new quarters, as if they bad been turned akg Shaken their old rcoms, Revortex—Have they turned away from here, then? JanitoR—I have been ordered to refuse to let them have rcoms here. RePoRTER—Don’t they pay up’ don’t they come down i the eee rare] ought fone flusn. ts, but jaxitoR—Yes, they always pay ly enough, bu’ they injured the tansatry cr the builting, Other tecants | here would not bave them mthe place. I liked them per- sonslly well enough; they were always gentlemanly to me. Neonuld) like to have them here, so far as I am per: nopaliy concerned, but I obey orders, and they are de- nied the buildiog. 5 eee ee did they injure the tenantry of the uilding’ JaniToR—Oh, in various aye. They blocked up the passage below stairs; they smoked, and spit, and talked politics in crowds, which you know is very offensive to some people, Altogether, it was decided to refuse them quarters bere. Rerortsr—You say you dou’t know where they have gone! Janttor—I do not. The reportar then left, fealing convinced that the mo- rality of politicians was certainly questionable when they were refused quarters in a public building because of the association with them injuring the reputation of the house, Sic transit gloria mundi. THE SOFT SHELL GENERAL COMM"TTRR—CUSA TO BE HAD AT ANY SaCRIFICB. A weeting of the Soft Shell (old men’s) General Com- mittee was held last night in Tammany Hall; not, how- ever, in the “coal bole,’’ as beretofore, but in an apart- ment adjoning the bar-room: a very convenient arrange- ment, as the soft shells are a remarkably thirsty set, and require wetting up quite often. * Mr. Robert Kelly presided, and Alfred Chancellor acted as Secretary. After the reading of the miautes, Mr Kxywxpy, of the Niath ward, offered a series of retolutions embracing the following points :— 1, Kndorsing the adminus:ration in all it had done, and in all it was going to do. 2, Concemping Spain for ali her past acts, ani expres- sing a aurpicion that ber future action will not be of & character to please the (soft) democracy. 3. The acquistion of Cabs to bea pisek in the plat- form of the reconstructed democratic party. 4. Urging the administration to take decided measures to comply with the wishes of the democracy; that is, tn endeavoring to speecily annex Cuba. ‘These resolutiops created some little hesitation among the members of the committee, and they were puzzled how toact. The fact was, that though Shephard, Bosse and Mirg were present, neither Captain Rynders, or John Cochrane made their appearance, and as the last named gentlemen ¢o pretty much all the thinking for the com- mittee, and are supposed to speak the seatiments of the acministration, it was thought it would be imprudent to pars recolutions committing them ao decidedly on the Cuba question. A motion was therefore made to re‘er the resolutions to a special committee of three, who should consult with the distinguished wirepullers uf the party, and ascertain tho views-of the administration as to the propriety of passing the reroluticns, Mr. AMBROSE PINNEY opposed the reference. He, for one, was in favor of decided action. The administration dad piainly shown by their past course that they would regard favorably & movement ot this kind in New York. Mr. Tomas Borsk, of the Fourteenth Ward, favored the reference. The resolutions wer+ not in form, and ‘Were, moreover, not in a proper shape to be presented to the public. This was a subject of great importance, apd betore the paity was committed to a course of this | kind. it would be well te have the opinions of the wisest and best men in the democratic ranks upon them Hi the speaker, certain that the day would soon co: when the lone star would be added to the American constellation. (Appl Mr, Doese’s remarks were quite able, and had a decided efiect upon the committee, Mesars. MING and SHXPAKRD urged substantially the sume objections. The motion to refer was at length carried, and Loreozo B. Shepherd, Alexander Ming, and Dan. KE Delevan appointed as a committee to taxe the resolutions ip charge, and make them fuller and more detmite, It is uncerstood that the chairman of the ecmmittee is to open communications with Washington, and ascertain the views of the administration previous | to the next meeting of the committes. ‘The ‘eeling manifested waa decidedly in favor of the speedy acquisition of Cuba at any sacrifice. It is understood that at the next meeting of the com- mittee efforts will be made to have a full attendance And that resolutions will be passed embracing full platform, State and pationsl, for the (over the left) re- united democracy. The committees adjouoned at a late” hour. Married, ¢ On Wednesday +vening, April 4, by the Rev. Mr. Ar- mitage, Wa. H. Ovanvock, to Maxy BE.
