Mmln thop once a babe of rarth ;
WhdidVt walk in childhood's ways,
Who, in childhood's helpless days,
Wiist by tiMinnn guidance led :
Who in lovinjr care hast said,
"Little oiips, romp tmtn me !"
Praise and prayer I bring to thee.
Holy Chrisl-child ! Thee I bless
For my mother's kind caress,
For the tunny eyes of love
On me 6till where'er I move.
For my stores ct childhood's wraith,
For my safety, for my health,
Fadeless as otir Christmas tree
Let my adoration be1.
Holy Christ-child ! there are those
Treading now these winter snows,
Willi no parent's hand to guide;
None to werp if ill bolide ;
Worthier I am not than they,
Vrt they labor while I play';
Toil, and cold, and hunger, three
Portions sad to children be 1
Holy Christ-child! be their friend?
In their rugged pith attend;
T.ot them dream of thee to-night ;
Sweetly rest till morning-light;
Then nvake to gifts of good,
Kaiment warm and pleasant food;
Grateful let thorn bond the knee
On thy blest nativity !

Dr. Ixiuilun, of Paris, in biu lute work on
pulation, asserts that ancient Home, in her
aiteet spleiidor, contained t,(KK),(l'K) sould.
de la Miille, aud the modem French aca
inicians generally, will scarcely admit that
re ever were more than from 400,(H0 to
0,(K)() inhabitants within the walls of the I
-nal (,'ity. Other anlitpmries arc equally
itradictory. (iibbon and Hume supposed the
nibers to have been 1,000,000. Mr. Jacob,
his history of lite precious metals, has calcu
d litem ut LIKI.OOO; -o did l.rottit r, the
it.biuted comiiicntator on Tacitus. The
i' prufess'ir NiL'hy, in his lloma Autiqua,
ijecturcd that the citizens, strangers, and
ves, with their children, inurt have reached
000,000. Chateaubriand reckons 3,000,000.
tsrus Lispisus and Mengntti computed them
4,000,000. Isaac Yossius allowed the pos
jility of 6,000,000, perhaps, said he, 11,000,
)0. There are still inoie extravagant calcu
'ions on this obscure point of archiology.
nleguchius and several other writers hare ic
ily declared their belief that in the lime of
early Emperors there were conglomerated
the seven hi'js and on the banks of the Ti
j irouml the seven hills, upwards of 'SI ,000,
"Oofhurnati beings. Amidst this ditcrrpan-
of opinions it is probable that the notion of
-,.,000,000 of souls in ancient Home, as main
a'iocd by Dr. Iudon, is that which is the most
correct ; being founded on 10 different statis
tical facts drawn from the ancient authori,
each leading to the same conclusion. In the
year 1IV77, when Gregory XI. was pontiff, the
city of Home contained no more than 17,000
people ! At present the entire numbers do not
exceed IC.0,000. How inutuble are human

The Cumberland Md. Alleghanian saya that
Peter Ilalderman, who was lately convicted in
Baltimore of tho crime of robbing the U. S.
ma J' some ten months, lias mnde a disclosure of
facts C(,.'nuucle(t'''Ci:eft'iln 88 follows :

Shades of Death and then in t'iat Jark
di.mal pluce, take him front the driv era box--tie
him to s tree by the mad aide, and tu.'.'- 'ie
mail ofl'and rob it." Tlmt he, Sides, wh.en
found in that condition, would pay that "three
men came from the shades with black fucrs,
Ftoppcd the horses, tied him in that condition
and robbed the mail."
This proposition Haldetman also declined.
Rut Sides, not being intimidated, determine!
that the mail should he rubbed if he had to do
it entirely himself! Tilings wcnto this way
until February, At this time Ilaldennan
was staying at live tavern of his brother, when
about 11 o'clock in the night the robbery took
plscc. Sides drove tip, stopped the stne bo
fore the door, awl aroused Peter Haldi-rmun;
under the pretence of getting something to
drink. Two persons were bleeping with Ilal
derman, and heard him Kay, "Peter, I want a
grog." The drinking over, and the persons
near the bar flbleep, Sides invited P. liuldrr
man out to the coach On arriving there Sides
then opened the doors 9 nd said, "Now, Pete, is
your time; 1 have no passengers. "
llaldciuiau declined and said he could not
hac any thing to do with it. Sides replied
"Well sir, if om do not, I have another man
who will ; we will rob the mail this night, and
if found out; I'll be d d if I dotit put it upon you,
any how." lfy this time Sides had the mail
out of the stage, and raising it up, threw it up
on the shoulders of Ilalderman, shut the door of
the stage, cracked his whip and put off. Ilal
derman pondered the thing over in his mind,
and finally came to the conclusion that he would
be blamed of the matter t all cveutp, enJ that,
inaemuch as the mail had been given him, he
would see its contents. He proceeded with it
into the woods in the rear of the house, and
there amidst the rocks and trees of the forest,
he raised a fire, end opened the mail and took
from it a little upwards of t.r thousand dollar
in money ! All the checks, drafts and halves
of notes, he burned, with the mail bag and the
balance of its conten u.
That of the money taken he gave Rides
1000, in good money, und kept the balance,
it being in treasury notes and other funds not
so current here. That he kept his money in
the woods until last August, hoping to find an
opportunity to return it ; but the arrest of Sides
cut off this Impe, and ularm drove him to Can
mitt where he was arrested by Mr. Patterson.
Si les says he had part of his money in the gar
den attached to the tavern of Mr. Fairall thnt
he put it in a bottle and sunk the bottle in an
old post hole, here tho fence had been remo
ved. These facts were gotten from Haider
man himself, and ere believed to be true.

A it ft, I Murder III London
We find in the Boston Despatch among the
foreign news per Columbia, an account vt a
shocking murder in Ixrndon.
The lady of Mr. George letter was left, a
Jone by her husband, lor a few days, at" their
liouso in Threiidnecdlo street, as he had busi
ness out of town. On tho second day after bis
depurture, no ol the servants a young man by
the name of Chambers, was reprimanded by
his mistress for som. misdemeanor, but seemed
to be little nflected by it at the time.
At about midnight, after Airs. Letter had re
tired to ref.t, she called up the servants and in
quired whethernny of them had tiicd her door.
Tli'ey protected their ignorance of the matter,
nd ilivn she declared that some one had en-
i.'ea"''ro to open it, but having found it locked,
had Teti'.eu' down stairs. She even heard
him blui.'der' when he reached the landing at
the foot of the '- , , .
One of the soi vai?1 then agreed to sleep in
the entry near the drx,'' of her apartment, and
the lady being thus aesuri rWfed again to
rest. ..
In the course of an hour or two" the eervfint
who slept near the door of Mrs. Letter heard a
groan. lie was in a slight slumt;er at the
time, and it awakened him up. I Io listened at
the door, but hearing nothing further, supposi'tir
that his mistress was restless in her sleep, lay
down again, lie had scarcely c'osrd his ryes
when he became convinced that he heard a btep
in hif nrtmrnt.
lie called several times and received no an
swer lie called up the laundress and related
the circumstances to her : when it was agreed
to force the door. On doing to, they beheld
Mrs. Letter lying half way in the bed, her
IPmi hanging "down nearly to the floor, and her
throat cut from ear to car. The floor was co
vered with clotted blood, and there was evi
dence that some person had slipped down in the
blood whose tracks led distinctly lo a tire-place.
The house was now aroused, and it was soon
perceived that the young Chambers was mis
sing One of the servants set ofl for his mother's
house in Piccadilly, where he was found; his clo
thing was stained in many placrs with blood.
He was arrested in a few minutes afterwards
by the policemen who arrived in company with
Mr. Letter's brother-in-law, although he fought
desperately all the time, and inflicted a dan
gerous wound upon Mr. Robert Smith, one of
the police men, whom he stabbed in the abdo
men with a carving knife.
He has since confessed that he descended in
to the sleeping apartment of his mistress by
way of the chimney, after having found the
door locked, and that he Was actuated purely by
motives of revenge. His parents appear lo
have been once in good circumstances ; but
becoming reduced, young Chambers was put
out to service.

London and is distracted with the iutelligcuce.

The Prwaj ft tl'oul Colon)'.
The history of the penal colony at Australia,
must be regarded as extraordinary. It is situa
ted oil the largest island in the world, and was
visited by Captjin Cook in 1770. Ho then
called it Botany Bay. It was colonized by the
English in 177, rttid a portion of the settlement
is made use ofa a psnal colony for convicts.
In ISH.no fewer ti'jan JKJO ships arrived at

and gr,000,000. The island is '2701.' 'il
long and LJ0O wide. Sydney is the cap.'al,
and has about :Ul,000 inhabitant. At a sale of'
building lots in that town only a few months
back, iylOO per foot wete obtained iii Some
cases, on I others sold at the rate of 8150,000
per acre. The original lots, on which Sydney
is built, were given to the early convicts in the
hope of inducing them to become industrious
aud independent. So lightly were they re
garded by the majority, however, that one,
more far-seeing than the rest, purchased the
whole from his companions tor two puncheon1?

now the widow of, a man named S.itW. At
an early age she was induced, hy rircumstnncpe
to enter as a soldier in the Allohroge Legion,
This was in 1703, and she look pirt at the
seige of Toulon. The next year 6he was re
moved to the 15th Dragoons, ana made the
campaign of Catalonia with the army of the
Kastem Pyrenr-es. When the Convention in
terdicted women from serving, the Generals of
this army obtained a special exception in her
favor.
She was in Bonaparte's campaigns in Italy.
After the battle of Novi she entered the 0th
Dragoons, in which regiment slip followed the
war in Piedmont The First Consul granted
her a pension of !JO0fr. for her distinguished
conduct as a dragoon riurinjr right yrars. In
102 she was again rnrolled in the 9th Dra
goons, wa-i at the battles of Austerlitz and Je

of Berlin.
Irt 110 she went into Spvrt ss one of the
Imperial Guard, and in lli was ma !e prisoner
near Burjos by one of the Cure Mvrino's gu-.
rilla parties, and sent into P.ngland. She re
turned into France in 111, and on the eve of
the 1'niperor's dr-parturc for Waterloo was pre
sented to him in her uniform as a chasreurof

several Marshals and.Generals, attest that she
received a gun shot wound at Toulon, four
sabre wounds in Piedmont, had four horses
killed under her, and saved the lives of General
Noguez and several other officers. She is now

Malebranche joyfully accepted the proposal;
and next day appeared the enterprising opera

scalpels, aaws, tenacula, ligatures, and all the
paraphernalia of the healing art. Malebranche

stolen from a market wagon. A thief took from
a market wagon in the 2d street spice, while
the owner was nway, one of the horses, and
putting on a saddle made off. The farmer re
turned ; but happening to get on the wrong
track, was sadly hindered frorn home. In the
meantime, the thiefcrosscd into Kentucky, and
when at a proper distance, as he thought to a
void detection, offered Hie animal for sale. The
person to whom he offered, said he had one
so much like it '.hat he knew he would trude,

went w ith the fallow to his neighbor's, but the,
