LONGHAIR.
“Does not nature"loach you that if a man 1 \Vear
long hair, it is a shame unto him.”-—’ Thomas Ac
quinas.
For some time 1 have been fearful lest the
other sex should encroach on pur prerogative of
wearing bonnets. Among the many” foolish fash
ions, which oar liege lords have devised, hone are
so absurd and r odibds as tho-practice of,wearing
or what ivas the cause of,it, 1 do. not pretend to 1
know"; but I-suppose it Vas the device of some
shallow paled fop, oi\lhe invention of some crop
eared scoundrel.. - Howeyertho inventor could add
nothing io its-absurdity, orHlie disgust which U
calls forth. Soap-locks are . now consigned to
the vulgar alone. Why then not keep from the
other extreme, and >vear the hair of a decent
length I Do out lords of creation os they term
solves, suppose they make a belter appearance with
a huge,bunc]i. of hair, swelling'tlie head to double
its ordinary dimensions ? Tho.search ; fof.beauty

would b(L-aB-vain, and as ludicrous as
Panza’s search after the renowned master’s,grind

with the wind-mills 1 think that I find
fault with the gentlemen alone for wearing their
,hoir in any. peculiar manner; thete are lady “soap
locks’* as well as male ones;’and, I am as decided
in my censure of these as of long-haired gentle
men, for they are as disgusting and obnoxious.
To prevent, henceforward, gentlemen from attend

itself. Wliat it demands its ..agents must

which distinguish the two great parties, and
which are very slight liaye no importance
as to the solution' of a, question upon which
the public opinion, and the representatives
of the states and of-the Federal Union,
Have pronounced their will unanimously,”
The Courier. Fraiicais considers a war as
imminent, but offers some reflections on the
subject, which do honor to the -writer, and
which are the-niore important, as appearing
in a journal which 'flaa been charged by the
advocates of, the peace policy, with a desire
to put ah end to the;lranquility whiclrhas
so long cxisted.in.Europe, ail'd by which the
United States have so', amply benefited.—
It says— ■
, “VYe hope that on the. eve of a struggle
which would cause a greateffusion of blood,
and which presents no chance of compen
sation for the calamities of war, the two
Governments will give, way to reflection,
and feel some remorse for the passions which
have led to the present danger. France,
indeed, has no reason to be afflicted at the
prospect of a ivar between England and the
United States, for such a war might bo fpr
iis, so far as selfish policy is concerned, a
source of joy and triumph; but ivc must-be
above the paltry suggestions of private in
terests. Viewing the .question on a larger
basis, such p-war .would, interrupt the com
mercial '.relationsWhich connect the- two
continents, and which during the last 25
years have -reached a vast extension', In
this point of view the war would be a ca
lamity for Europe. . War somet’nnes- pro
motes the cause of civilization. Thus the
English .could have rendered .vast,service in
of the people whdin they subjected; ■ So; in
conquering, Algiers, we shall sooner or later
have the power ofdoing good to the uncivi
lized tribes with Whujn we are now Contend
ing. But oti what .principle can a war'bo;
tween the Kn^Hsll^and A mericans be bene-'
ficial? The London journal announces the
intention of stirring up the slaves of the
Southern States,' to revolt; and on the Other
hand, the citizens of New York .and Maine
have probably the intention: of stirring up
revolt amongst-the oppressed French colo
nists in'Cuhada.; On Ibotli. sidcsi then, so-,
cial -war. would be added to foreign war, and
the contest'wtfuld be carried on at the same
time by scaffolds and by cannon. What
an example for the civilized world! If war
should take place between these two nations,
it would not be a war of principle, for there
is no question of right involved, it will he a
conflict prompted by 'ambition and fed by
pride; that is to say, the'most odious spec
tacle that could be offered by human nature.
We will not inquire which of the two coun
tries could do most harm to the other. —They
are both powerful and both persevering and
obstinate in their designs. England has an
incontestable superiority at this moment,
and her blows,would be strong ones. With
11 ships of the line, 14 frigates, and 39
smalleilyessels of war, the United States
would find it difficult to contend against
the most formidable navy of the universe;
but they have sailors and a, warlike popula
tion, and money Will not be wanting,for the
building of'.ship's.
“England has been unfortunate hitherto
in her jvais with the United States, and. hcr
government may desire to-take signal ven
geance.for, the past. The reminiscences of
the,past, on'thd.contrary, raise the pride of

[Fromthe jfahdon Journal of Commerce:]
-Qf all nations in’, the world, France, the
United!- States/and England, have at all
times the most substantial reasons for the'
preservation of peace. _ llutat.present,*thcse
threesfates have special political internal
causes'why they, should- respectively avoid
war as the greatest evil that could, befall
them.. From war, France has to dread-an
olher political' revolution; engaged in a war,
slavery in the United - States becomes a
mighty .political eVil, and the
ble cause of a predial rebellion; while to
this country in war, discontent in’.lreland,

- Wall street was alive this morning with
rumors of. forgeries said to-haye been coni;

of Congress. It turns out that the forgeries
were made on drafts purporting to be drawn
by the Bank of Orleans at Albion, oti the
City Bank of Albany, and that the person
by whom they were negotiated was Charles
F. -Mitchell,He went into Wall street on
Tuesday, and was introduced to several bro
kers whom he persuaded to discount' the
drafts; which were endorsed by'himself.—
Last-evening the drafts were returned from
Albany;.as forgeries, and Mr. Mitchell not
being found at his lodgings, it was presumed
that he had-absconded. , About the same
time letters were received from - Philadel
phia, containing several forged drafts, made
by the’same Bank of Orleans on the Mer
chant’s bank - of this city, and endorsed by
Mitchell. The drafts,- iti botli cases,, were

was elected to Congress in 1836, and re-e

.one of the candidates presented to General
Harrison for the appointment of navy agent
to thisport; -'Failing td succeed/in.this, lie
became am applicant fora place in the Cus

suMKirted in his applications by the whig
parrr, and was understood to be the especial
noraihee of Mr. Fillmore. We do not know
whether the officers- of justice have been
sent in pursuit.of him, but if they have been

■Thd.fullowing extract froni a letter recently
received in this city, from a gentleman of
nigh standing in the literary and diplomatic
circlca of Berlin; dated' Feb; 15; Serves to
show that the Subject lias not belsn lost sight
of.jind is perhaps brought-nearer to-soma,
important decision than the public has been
aware of i “The allies Having obtained their
end (_in Syria] are somewhat at a loss to. dis*
pose of their conquest. They are seriously
thinking of setting up or reviving, a Christian
kingdom at project which
seems to be' received with favor at Vienna.
But then syhat are they to do with the oilier
Christian population of Syria? This is ohe
of the questions which France has asked
them. They are now very anxious to draw
her from the isolated position into which
they have forced herj us they find after all
that they cannot permanently and satisfac
torily settle the East without her concur
rence.' '
Td'those who" have niT opportunity of read -
ing the diplomatic papers, it and
amusing to see the game that is going on, be
tween those faithful,. confiding, and loving
allies,.England And Russia, in attempting to
entice France to favor their respective pro
jects in the'Levant. Under, the pretext of
preserving peace among the different mem
bers of the great Mohammedan family,' they
have put at immediate hazard the peace of
Christendom; and now affect, to be very
much' surprised that.the French should think
of fortifying their capital. * Their rcal.'opinr
ion is in favor of that project as a moans of
giving France additional strength not merely'
for the defensive but for:bfiensive war.—

that police officer Henry S. McDonald, of
the Second Ward, was very, seriously in
jured,last evening between eight, and nine
o’clock, whilst in tlie discharge of hjs duty.,
Being called upon before.watch hours, to ar
rest one.of. the. U. S. soldiers belonging to
Fort'McHenry, who in a state, of,intoxica
tion, was brandishing a sword abd thrusting
it at every one' passing along Wilk street in
the neighborhood of the Causeway—-ho was
turned upon by the infuriated man, who
aimcd several blow's’at him; the third stri
king the officer on the head and inflicting a
horrible cut three inches in length. A
fourth blow from the sword, nearly severed
the thumb and three fingers of one of his
hands; Notwithstandii% the severity of his
wounds, the officer closed with (he despera-,
do, and succeeded in disarming him. He
then proceeded towards the watch houSb
with his prisoner, and on his way thither,
met with a watchman and received assis

house, officer McDonajd sank- from exhaus
tation and. loss of blood. Surgical aid was
procured as speedily as'possible, ami after
having his wounds dressed, the injured man
was taken to his residence, where he now

Atrocious Act.-— An act of singular and
most dibolicat character, was-perpetrated in,
Cambridge Port 'last week-.' The circum
stancesattendingthemse, so ifar as wc havo
been able tqlearn them, are these. A young
man,'named Mortimer Tappan, about twen
ty years, old, (son of the Rev. Mr. Tappan,
an Orthodox' clergyman, residing at Cam
bridge Port) who had Been employed ns
clerk in the store of Messrs; Cushing &
‘Wilkinson, of thia city, had been paying'
his addresses to a young Indy by the namo
of Nancy Felton, the’daughter of a poor but
respectable mechanic of Cambridge Port.—*
The parents of young Tappan,’it is said,’
objected to the match.
On Fast evening, Tappatl called on Miss
Felton,' and invited her to take walk,
which invitation *1 e' accepted. Daring the
walk, 1 he-observed that he had some excel
lent figs, which had been'seht to him by an
uncle or some friend at a distance, and Of
fered her one—which she tooknndcoinmen
ccdeating it, ;■ She soon noticed that it tast
ed very..peculiar, and remarked so to Pap
pan, vyhq replied that the fruit,was a hew
'and very fine kind.,‘She had eaten, about
half the fig; the other half she preserved.
During the walk' she began to fepl ; ill, and
qn-her return home was taken fiolenily sick.
A .■physician was sent for, who; Troth the 1
symptoms manifested, declared that she had
been poisoned. The half of the fig was pro
duoed, and on examination it was found to
contains large quantity of ' Spanish Flies. 1 ’ '
■ On Friday the young Indy continued
dangerously ill, and.on Saturday morning a
warrant was issued. for the arrest of Tap
pan, He was taken and put under $T|OOO
bunds for his appearance before'a JußtictPiti
the afternoon. On examination he was bound
over in the Sum of ®5OO,- for his-appearanco
at. the next term of the Court of- Common
Pleas in Middlesex-county. We ■ under
stand the young lady is stilt severely-ill.--* >
The scoundrel who committed this act wheth
er. with the intent to murder-or for tho
mote hellish purpose of: ruining the charac
ter of ope whom he professed to love, is atilt
at large, and the smallness of the bonds
under which he is put. make it probable that
they will be paid by his friends, and be make
his "escape from justice.— Slat* Demo*
