It will be recollected that about two weeks ago Fira Marshal Paker caused the arrest of two men, named De | dace Morriseett and Come Morrissett, brothers, on the charge of purposely setting fire to their crockery store, at No. 288 Greenwich street. The third man si jonedt Was named Jean Baptiste La Rochelle, who was badiy| burned at the time, and was sent to the New York Hos | pital for surgical treatment. } ‘The facts in the case, as appears’by the testimony beford Justice Connolly, shows that the two Morriscetts kept a crockery store at the above named place. Adjoiain; J them was one Joseph Morton, aleo a crockery dealer, thelr stores being only separated by a board partition. Morriesett bad been informed by the landlord that he could not havethe store another year for the crockery, Dosineas; bence an unpleasant feeling existed agaiast Mr. Morton on the part of the Morriseo:ts, they aarivutiog the logs of the store to Morton.

Jemes Kirke Pauldi»: Scarecly had the soil settled over tho grave, or tho sound of the panegyric passed from our ears on the death of one of the celebrated American historians (Washing ton Irving), nor had thoagands of his frieuds and ad- wairers time to recover from the contemplation of the great loss they had sustained, when suddealy death again vieite them, and to day we are caled upoa to record the death of James Kirke Paulding, a contemporary wit! Prescott, Cooper and Irving. This event took place at his late residence at Hyde Park, at midnight on Wednesday. Hoe was anephew of the celebrated John Paulding, the Peekekill farmer, who with Williams and Van Wert ar- rested Major Andre on his return from West Point. He ig algo cousin of Commodore Paulding, of the navy. His brother, William, wasa member of Congress from West, chester county and subsequently, in 1521, was Mayor of New York. He died at Tarrytown, February 11, 1854; and is now followed by the subject of this notice. James Kirke Paulding was born August 22,1779, at Pleasant Valley, in Dutchers county, State of New York. On the conclusion of the Revolutionary war tue family returned to their former residence in the county of Westchester, whence they had been driven by thatevent, and where he received his oduca thon at a country school. At early manhood he took up his abode in the city of New York, whore he resided, with occasional intervals, until some ten years ago, when he Tetired to his country seat at Hyde Park, on the banks of the beautiful Hudson. Having been previougjy acquaint- ed with the Inte Washington Irving, in consequence of a family alliance, an intimacy took placo which resulted in thepetiicntion ‘Of an irregular periodical called Salma g i. _Irving contributed the prose articles, and Pauld- g and William Ti contributed the poetry. Salma. gundi fatirized the follies and ridiculed the humors of the ‘time with great prodigaliiy of wit and uo less exuberance of good nature. Recevtly, in an oration delivered on ‘Washington Irving, the speaker alluded to Salmagunds in the following language :-— It ts fe froliekrome 01 tem; bya aah fe pten "atoees 4 re Tabet ies out the fear of cri yes Of the aut and w ‘this sense of perfect freedom in the ezercise of us Bre badly ore ve makes us still read so much delight; and Paulding, though he has stoce arquired a seq tion by his oiher writings, can hardiy be sald .o have Whiten ‘aoything better than the Dest of those whish ares, erited to hfs pen. This youthful production, contrary to the’e of its authors, became very popular, obtained a wide circu lation, and awakened a of emulation throughout the whole country. It hy been continued indefinitely, had it not been brought to an abrupt conclusion by the re fusal of the publieber to allow the authors any compen- sation. The epiwe collection waa the production of Mr. Paulding and Wasi mn Irving, with the exception of three prose erticles and the poetical epistles which were written by Wiliam Irving, an elder brother of the latter. The success of this now well known work probably de cided the future course of the authors, who, however, in future pursved their avocations separately. In 1813, Mr. Paulding published ‘The siverting History of John Bul! ana Brother Jonathan,” the most popular of al! his satires. mext year a poctical work called “The Lay of tbe Scottih Fiddle,” which was shortly fol: lowed by a prose pamphlet entitled The United States and England,” which was called forth by a criticiem in the London ‘ly Revien, on ‘ Inchiquin’s letters,’’ written by Charles J. Ingersoll, of Philadelpbis. Having passed part of the summer of 1816 in a tour through Vir- ginia, he wrote his ‘ Letters from the South,’ containing interesting sketches of scenery, manners and personal character. In 1818 he published a poem called ‘“ fhe Backwoodsman,”’ sketching the of the emigrant and his family from the old to the new States; in i819, a tecond eries of ‘Salmagundi;” in 1838,’ “ Konigs marke,” a novel, founded on the bistory of the Swedish settlements on the Delaware, the title of which he chang ed in a subsequent edition to that of “ Old Times in tae New World;” in 1824, ‘John Bull in America;” or the New Munchausen;and in 1826, ‘ Merry Tales of Wise Men of Gotham,’’a satire, levelled princtpally at Robert Owen’s system of socialism, the science of crani ology, and the great legal maxim of cavest emptor. After this appeared “The Traveller’s Guide,” or the ‘ New Pilgrim’s Progress,” as he afterwards called it, finding it was mistaken for areal itineracy: ‘‘ The Tales of a Good Wowan, by a Doubtful Gentleman,” and ‘ The Dutch- man’s Fireside,” which ever been regarded as the best of his novels. It is a domestic story, of the old French war. This was follow. ed by “Westward Ho!”—a novel of forest life and Kentucky characters, In 1835 he published a ‘Life of Washington,’? for the use of echools. More recently “Sia. very in the United States,” and two novels, one called “The Old Continental,” the other *‘The Puritan and His Davgbter,”’ which was his last production. At the close of the war of 1814, he resided some time at Washington ag Secretary of the Board of Navy Commissioners, 1828, and for many years afterwards, Navy Apes at New York. From 1837 to 1841 he was Secretary of the Navy, under the Van Buren administration, 9 which he ré tired from public life. Though several of Mr. Paulding’s works have been translated and published abroad, they appear to have been written exclusively for his own coun- trymen, and are not so well known in Europe as those of many jmp cence His collected works embrace twenty five volumes, and his anonymous productions, dis- persed in various periodicals and newspapers, would pro. ‘bably maxe as many more. THE LATE {From the London Times.} Twice within the last few weeks have we recorded in- stances in which veterans of the British army, after ex- hausting the risks ofa life long service in all quarters of the globe, bave expired, full of years and honor, in the very mansions in which they were born. Such stories express the realization of chances almost beyond the bounds of probability, but the whole chronicle of wonder contains vo stronger example than that just now reported from Paris. Marshal Reille, the old soldier of the Empire, whose remains were last’ week escorted to m peaceful tomb in his native @ind, had not only outlived the days assigned to man, but had attained to extreme ago, after a career of dangers which we may safely describe as with- outa parallel. A life of eighty-five years would, in most cages, embrace some strange events, but in the instance before us, it covered such # chain of revolutions and such ‘@ series of wars as no period of the world’s history had ever produced. ‘The boyhood of the soldier who but a few days ago lived to tell of his own adventures, was spent under the old régime of France. He only missed by a month or two being born under Lovis XV., and he actually saw tho whole reign of the unfortunate sovereign who perished on ascafiold He could perfectly remember the Assem- diy of Notables at Vereailles, and, as far as his age went, might have played @ part im any of the scenes through which the ropelation was conducted. As soon, indeed, &s those famous wars commenced which turned the pas ‘sions of democratic France towards views of foreign con- quest, the military services of young Reille commenced giso, nor did they terminate until the swords of all na- tions, after twenty years of conflict, were once more sheathed. It is here that the story prosents go incredible an aspect. Napoleon bad many generais, and they were #il working men, but no officer of the Graud army could baye showu, we believe, an account of ser. vice go extraordinary ag that performed by Relllo Ho ‘was not in Egypt, and he escaped the expedi. tion to Moscow, but with these exceptions he appears to have been fighting and commanding in every country through which the French Beng were carried. He fought against the Duke of By uns: , against Suwarrow, inst Wurmeer, against the Archduke Charles, against Mina, against Hill, and against Wellingtou He fought in Bal. gium, in , in Germany, in Spain, in Flanders. Ho be gan bis campaigns as a suoaltern of infantry under Da mouriez, and ended them in command of a corps d’armee at Waterloo, His ubiquity seems to have brought him into every episode of the war, however peculiar. He a3. sisted at the siege of Toulon, ‘penctrated the blockade at Genoa, beld command the camp of Bou- logne, watched the great leaguer of Stralsun, on fhe part of the Emperor, and was actually on board sbip at one of Villeneuve’s sea fights. He was in the campaign of Valmy, when the French, unconscious of their own power, were protecting their own frontiers. He was in thore of Montenotte, ot Zurich of Jens Friedland, of Wagram, of the Pyrenees, and, after a ca Teer of ger vice on the Peninsula, alone which would have sufficed to create a military reputation, he bore a brave and distinguishea part in the Hundred Days, and finally covered Paria witb bis division against the last advance of the Ailies. From the year 1792 to the year 1816, he can be traced from place to piace; always ip @ post of danger, usually in one of trust: and yet, after confronting in per: f0n the accumulated perils of toia evertful he sur. vived in peace aid quiet to our own days, and witnessed after an jnterval of half a century, the developement of a second empire, It provekes a smile of incredulity or astonishment ‘o Tend of a man whese “retirement from political jife”” had commenced be'ore George III cies General Reilic was forty yeare ofugo when he withdrew, certainly a’ter a fair sbare of experience, from the stri’e and struggles of the world ; but fo little bad his v powers been in jurea by the strain that forty years more remained tobim. “During this period be received tho honors which formed the natural lot of such dignified ease.

Fourscore years would cover all this, and four: £core is HO uncommén age. Nevertheless, the fact is as we describe it. We are involuntsrily led to regard the times of the French Revolution as «disconnected altogether from these of our own generation, and we are surprised accorcingly whep eome venerable specimen of that mar- veilove period is found to bave been living and moving erong ve. The explanation of this fact must be sought in the theory which measures time, not by the lapse of éaye, but by the character and succession of events. In the Jest forty years all people, and Englishmen in particular, bave Itved more than forty years of ordi- nary hfe. Political reforms and scientific discoveries Dave carried us onward at ®@ pace that we can barély recegpise or comprebend our predecessors of 1815.

On the failure of the rising, John Devererx made bis submiesion to the government, and, through the influence of Lord Cornwallis, the then Lord Lien- tenant, who took great interest in him from hig Zor zeceinet afree pardon and remission of all for- feitures, upon the sole condition of remaining abroad some years. This condition wag complied with, and the treat- ment he had received caused a strong attachment to the British rule in the breast of the young rebel. Thisattach~ ment was strongly marked when the Emperor Napoleon offered Mr. D’Evereux a general's commission in the ar- my he was preparing for the invasion of Eogland in the early part of the century, aud suggested that, nthe event of satisfactory service, the old domain of Evereux in Nor- mandy, from which the family took its name, should bo repurchased for bim, and that he should be created. & count of the empire, In the interview with the grost Em- peror when these propos tions were msde, which were peremptorily declined by the young man, who was af great an enthutiast for liberty as he was proud of hig race, D’Evereux informed Napoleon, in reply to the ques- tion whether the D'Evereux were not deacended from the conqueror, tbat, on the contrary, the con was de- scended from them; a spirited remark, w! , a8 well ast his conduct on that occasion generally, caused him to be sought out by Alexander von Humboldt, with whom he ‘was afterwards closely intimate. The principal later event of Jobn D’Evereux’s life was his raising and taking out to South America the Irish Legion, which assisted Bohvar in conquering the independence of the South American republics. Th» later disasters of some of these communities have obscured the recollection of the enthusaem which greeted their birth, evineed alike in the rhetoric of Canning, an? iv the sympathy of the genera) liberal public. What the Englishman Gayon was to the unsuccessful Hungarian insurrection of 1848-9, Jobn a’Evereaux was in gome sort to Venezuela and Nue- ‘va Grapada in 1820 and the enening years. At the date of bis decease he was the senior Lieutenant General of these republice, and in the nominal receipt of a conaidera- ble pension from them. The most ardent enthusiasm for the cause of political, social and religious freedom, &@ rea- diners to draw his sword and strike blow for & wher- ever there was a chance of doing ao, a large share of that aristocratic sentiment which, as was befitting the repre- sentative of so genuine a Norman family, despised Euro- pean despotirm, not merely because it is false and eruel, but because it is a parvenu, an innovation upon the grand Old chivairic freedom of the middle ages—all these things made up a rare and strong character in General @Evereux. Democracy will not do its work tili it has found something like the old formula of its enemy, ‘‘no- Ulesse oblige” —certainly not while it depends for success ip the world, even as do certain of our prophets, upon anything short of the readiness to sacrifice hfe and for- tune in caure, which distinguished the fine old tle- man of whom we have given this brief account.—; Spectator. i Ancient if The i 5 z a i Hi i 5 3 DEATH OF A MILLIONAIRE IN CHARLESTON, 8. C.— LIBFRAL BEQUEST— HOMES FOR THE AGED. From the Charleston Mercury, March 24 } Mr. William Enston, for many years a Jarge dealer im furniture in this city, died very suddenly yesterday morn- ing Mr. Foston was s native of England, but came to this country in early childhood. Jn Philadelphia, where he grew up to manhood, he learned the trade of a chatr- mtker, and after his marriage came to Charleston to fol- low that trade. From this humble begining, by habits of strict industry and attention to business, he one of our wealthiest citizens, and has died possessed of s Froperty of about $2,060,000. Being childless, he has left bis wife a life interest in the estate, and one or two annui- ties to relatives. Upon the death of these parties, the en- tire estate, excepting about $20,000, reverts to the city of Charleston, in trust for charitable purposes,as is more ex- plicitly set forth in the following extract from his will, which was read yesterday:—‘ and at the death of Ss concerned, wherein the amount js not Jeft unquatifiedly sbeolute, ebal! revert back to my eftate at the death of all parties concerned: it is my w'sh and will that the whole fund shall go to the city of Charles for the fc lowing purposes, and under the following provision: to build up a hoepita) for old and infirm persons, none must be admitted under the agept (45) forty-five years, ‘unless in the care of rome great infirmity, some Jameness, zome physical infirmity.
