CINCINNATI, U., .1,111.1, 1545. i#erarj. Who is Responsible? Were you ever poor? I thought not, or you would be more considerate and just to the poor. I wish you hail been poor for a single day—only for one day ; hungry, and without fottd, or money to buy it ; without a place to lay your head, or in debt, for tine last place you lay in; without work and unable to get It, hunting for it from shop to shop, up and down the endless stairs, till your feet were swollen, and burning and blis tered; afraid to tell your trouble and need, lest you should lose favor and friends. One day of such poverty would be enough for you—but you need one. " I overdraw." No. The coloits tire none too deep for woman's poverty, as I have seen it. But the worst poverty is not to be compared or named to the sin which it tempts: De you see that block of old, dark, dingy buildings? I never pas:; it with out . faiutness and sickness of spirit, for I know too well what is behind those dirty, cobwebbed windows. And those attics—my eye lingers there for the pale, sad faces. The city is full of such old shell-like skeleton blocks, and up in their dismal attics you will always find the saddest specimens of womanhood that live. Up in that second attic, right in the window seat, to get the most light upon her work, and a little view of life in the street below, there sgt four months to gether a young and pretty girl, stitching at heavy tailor work all day. Early in the morning before the sun rose, when nothing else was seen astir but the city pigeons and the market men, she was at her toil, and no one ever Saw her pause from it, but for hasty meals and short sleep, and hurried visits to the shops where she obtained work and food. When she glanced into the streets she was drawing through her thread, and the quick glance could not hinder. Her head throbbed at times, as if it would btu•st ; sharp pains smote through her breast, and then came a sinking sense of feebleness, worse than pain, but she sewed on just the same. She was too poor to yield to sickness. She had to work while her hand could move, to pay for her food and shelter. She was a lone thing,„; went out and came in aloue; sat always alone in her sky-window, and if she ever saw any friends it was when she went out; no one came to see her. The, pain in her head grew worse, until it was almost maddening, and she laid down her needle and clasped her hands to her temples, and eyes rested with interest on the cheerful windows across the street. The sun shone into those win dows through beautiful draperies of em broidered lace, and lay soft and mellow on the rich satin and velvet of furni ture and carpet. Then a sweet voice rose and swelled till it met her ear. Once she could sing like that—not now. She could only raise the saddest note now, and that brought tears to spoil her work. It was a gay song she heard, and she saw gay young girls come to the windows, and they were not pale like her, held no hand to the thiobbing head but moved lightly and buoyantly, as if borne up by pleasure. Yet the poor sewing girl shrinks and shivers, and covers her eyes, for" their house inclines unto death, and their paths Unto the dead. None that go unto them return again, neither take they hold on the paths of life." She takes up her needle and plies it briskly again. But her look has not been nu no; The Jezebel who rules in that hob, of sin has long been watching her. ,:-.7:11e. smiles ; she gloats ; the woman-demon ! That such monsters live! and in woman shape, too !—in shape like our blessed mothers—like her whom the Christ called "mother," in his tender love! But they do so live, and in our very midst, and their victims—they are many. Shall I tell you of all the snares that Jezebel, that woman-demon, laid for the poor, overtasked, half-starved, sickening sewing girl ? You can guess them. She did with hellish purpose what you or some other woman would would have done with holiest. "The children of this world are wiser in their generation than the children of light." She showed her kindness with a studied delicacy that could not fail to please, and won her gratitude. She gave her work and full and honest pay, and so lured her within her influence. That attic window is empty now. l'he young girl is gone. She sews no longer, nor is she hungry and lonely more. The roses bloom on her cheek and hex laugh is gay, and her step is light a2ld sylph-like as she floats in syren dances to syren music. But, alas! poor thing! alas! Oh, that she were the honest, half-starved sewing girl still ! " Roses on her cheeks !" Why, they :are false roses. Never more living bloom for her. A " gay laugh" and a hollow .one, that would move a loving heart to tears. They who are like her, laugh :such gay, hollow laughs to keep them selves from tears, but tears are less sad :than their laughter. Her atop IS not always " sylph-like;" it grows alewer and feebler each day and anew mai terrible pain is gnawing .at her breast; and her temples throb ywildly•with wrete. •, If it were •OnlY;With.wear.baeag.!" r 'BxlMustion, as •oneel...Slie • eimps to'''. more tightly :than -;before, in her • white,• jeweled 'autuda; the old pain seem a iwt - - 1,91 u::: , , ~...-. -,...-..? :: "i_i:L•••.1. , .. , .... i... r^..._'l E!. , .... :::-...,•-•!.". 1,...:.E . ,..a . .. - 1 f•>4..:1 .•_. . • :!'

A rare occurrence was the exhibition of wild beasts, hone, monkeys, hyenas, tigers, polar bears and ichneumon, in Balti more, in the early days of which we are writing, yet they came occasion ally, and this time was visited by old Nat Wheat ley, a jolly, weather-beaten boatman, well known in Baltimore as an inveter ate joker, who never let any one get the windward of him.' He was furthermore a stutterer or the first class. Nat visited the menagerie. As he en tered the sliovcnnnl was stirring Up the monkeys, and tormenting the lion, giv ing elaborate descriptions of the various propensities and natural peculiarities of each and all. "Tide, ladies and gentlemen, this, I say is the African lion. A noble beast lie is, ladies and gentlemen; is called the k"ing of the Forest. I have often heard that lie 111211“'S nothing of devouring young creatures of every description when at home in the woods. Certain it is that no other beast can whip him." "\t-lid-mister!" interrupted Wheat ley, - 4-do you say he c-a-an'tbe w-whi whipped " I duz," said the man of lions and tigers. " What w-will you b-het I c-can't fetch a critter what'll whip him?" " I ain't, a betting man at all. But I don't object to malting a small bet to that effect." "1 II het I ca-can fetch Something that will whip him. What say you to a 11-h-hundred d-d-dollarsr Now there were several merchants in the crowd that knew Wheatley well, and were fully convinced that, if the het was made, he was sure of winning, so that he had no difficulty in finding, backers, one of whom told him he would give him ten gallons of rum if he won. 'l'lie menagerie man glanced at his lion. There crouched in his cage, his shaggy mane bristling, and his tail sweeping, the picture of grandeur and majesty. The bribe was tempting, and he felt as sured. " 'etiing, sir, certing ; I have no ob jections to old Hercules taking a bout with any cretur you can fetch." " V,•ry well," said Nat, " it's a bet." The nioney was planked up, and the night was designated for the terrible contliet. 'Phe news was spread over Baltimore, and at an early hour the boxes of the spacious theatre were filled—the pit being cleared for the fray. Expectation was on tiptoe, and it was with great impatience that the crowd awaited the arrival of - Wheatley. He at length entered, bearing a bag or sack on his shoulders, which, as he let on the floor, was observed to contain some re markable hard and heavy substam*. The keeper looked with indignation. , " Where's your animal ?" he inquired. " Th-th-there," said Nat, pointing at the bag with his finger. what is asked the an with increased astonishment. "fh-th-that, la•la-ladies and gentle men," said, Nat gesticulating like the showman, is a wh-wh-whimbaruperl" " A whimbamper," ejaculated the showman. That is certainly a new feature in zoology and anatomy. A wliimbamper ! - Well, let him out; and clear the ring, or old Hercules may make a mouthful of both of you." The keeper was excited. Accordingly Nat raised the bag, holding the aper ture downwards, and out rolled a huge snapping turtle, while the cheers and laughter of the audience made the arches ring. "There he is!" as he tilted the " whimbamper" over with both haw* and set him on his legs. The snappr seemed unconscious of his peril. Wheatley was about leaving the ring, when the keeper swore his lion should never disgrace himself by fighting with such a pitiable foe. "Very well," said Nat, "if y-y-yciu eh-eh-choose to., give me the hundred dollars." "But itis unfair ; "• cried theshowmaii. The audienee - lhterpose'd• taut- ini3iehid upon. the fight. There:was no escape, and the showman reluctantly released the lion, making himself secure on the top of the cage. _ The majestic beast moved slowly round the ring, snuffing and lashing, while every person held their breath in sus pense. Lions are beasts, and this one was not long in discovering the turtle, which lay on the floor, a large and in animate mass. The lion soon brought his nose in close proximity to it, which the turtle not liking, popped out his head and rolled his eyes, while a sort of a. wheeze issued from his savage mouth. The lion jumped back, turned, and made a spring at .the turtle, which was now fully prepared for his re ception. As the lion landed on him the turtle fastened his terrific jaws on his nostrils, rendering him powerless to do harm, yet with activity of limb he bounded around the circle, growled, roared, and lashed himself, but the snapperhung on, seeming to enjoy the ride vastly. " 0-go it, whimbamper!" cried Wheatley from the boxes. The scene was rich. The showman was no less enraged than the lion. And drawing a pistol, he threatened Nat that if he did not call the turtle off he would shoot him. " Ta-ta-take him off yourself!" shout ed Nat in reply. At this critical moment, by dint of losing a portion of his nose, the lion had the luck to shake hisdangerous foe from him, and clearing the space between himself and the cage with a bound, he slunk quietly in, to chew the cud of his defeat in pain. It was a fair fight, all declaring that the " whimbamper" was the victor. The next morning he carried his turtle to market and sold him. So this valiant champion, after conquering the king of beasts, served to make a dinner for Bal timore epicures. The Successful Mechanic Many years ago, ayoung man, a house painter by trade, went to Savannah to start in business for himself. He took a shop, hung out his sign, and looked for customers; hut none came. There appeared to be painters enough in the place already, and his prospects looked dark. What should he do ? Give it up, return to the •'orth, and work as a jour neyman again He was not that kind of a man. If customers would not came fo him he would go to them. Early one morning, with overalls on and paint-pot and brush in hand, all ready for work, he started out and walked briskly through the principal streets as though in haste to commence a day's work, which, indeed, he was. Presently a gentleman stopped him with— "l see you are a painter." " Yes, sir." "Do you do,business on your own ac count?" " Yes, sir." " When eau you do some work for me ?" Mostmen would have answered "right away," but our friend wie,:more,- , lirewil, and replied— "Probably in a week - orsoi" "But I want it done iinweiliatelv." "I would like I o aceoMmoclate you, and will try to; I will send a man by day after to-morrow, or I will come myself." Of course he went himself, and found a long and profitable job on the gentle man's plan which lie completed so well that others noticed it, and were glad to employ him; and in ashort time he was at the head of the largest busi ness of the kind in Savannah. lie has since changed his business, and, were we permitted to name !din, lie would be once recognized as the principal of one of the most innportant manufactur ing establishments in this country. Remember, boys, that he owed his success to perz:CrEictticc, (not cunning, but careful thought), and faithfulness. A Temperance Familj Joe Harris was a whole-souled, merry fellow, and fond of a glass. After living in New Orleans for many years he came to the conclusion of visiting an old uncle, away up in Massachusetts, whom he had not seen for many years. Now there is a difference bet ween New Or leans and Massachusetts iu regard to the use of ardent spirits,„and when Joe arrived there he found 'all the people ardent about temperance; he felt bad, thinking with the old song, that "keep ing the spirits up by pouring the spirits down," was one of the best ways to make time pass, and began to fear, in deed, that he was in a pickle. But on the morning of his arrival, the old man and his sons being out at work, his aunt came to him and said: "You have been li vi lig in the south and no doubt have been in the habit of taking a little something to drink about eleven o'clock. J. keep a little here for medical purposes, but let no one kiiow it, as my husband wants to set the chilihstin a good example." Joe promised, and thinking lie get no more that day, he took, what he expressed it, a " bluster." After he had walked out to the stable who should he meet but his old Uncle. " Well, Joe," said he, " I expect you are accustomed to drink something in New Orleans, but you will find us all temperance here, and for the sake of my sons I don't let them know that I. have brandy about ; but I just keep a little out here for rheumatism. Will you accept a little?" Joe signified his readiness, and took another big horn. He then continued his walk to where the boys where maul ing rails. After conversing for a while one of the cousins said to him " Joe, I expect you would like to have a drink ; as the old folks are down on liquor, we keep some out here to help us work." • Out came the bottle, and down they sat, and by the time he went home to dinner he was as tight as he well could be, and all came from.visiting a "tem perance family." Row French Ladles Bathe At the trades exhibition in Paris, the pretty things are plentiful, and the col lection includes one or two amusing in ventions. Foremost among these is a superb car, drawn by silver swans of gigantic proportions. The car is intend ed for fair bathers. In its fairy network they may recline at their ease, and float upon the waters, and in the waters, buoyed up by the four gallant silver swans, who will bear them safely upon the gentle swell of summer seas. At the fair bather's elbow is a handle that works a screw, and by this screw she may drive her car and her swans at her own sweet will.

She died on Wednesday , last, at' the lidaSe of a friendlin the southeastern part "Of the city, and her-strangely wild pilgrimage is at an end-. The folloWing interesting account of her life we cut from the Phil: culdphia Bulldin: Norah's history is as touching as her course through: ife Was turbulent and fantastic. Her name Via-9 Honora Power. She was the (laughter of a well-to-do farmer in Ireland. While yet but a young girl both her parents died, and she made her home-at-the house of an elder sister, who was married. - Yohng :Condi had been left au annuity of fifty pounds a year by her parents. Her brother-in-law, with whom she had made her home, WaS areckleEs, wasteful fellow, and lie not only squandered the portion of his wife, but also that of her young sister. Things filially becameo desperate with them that their goods were sold and the family was turned out of doors. Norah was a proud spirited lass, and, while unwilling to become a dependent upon her friends, , and asham ed to fill a menial place among those who had known her in her prosperity, she determined to emigrate to this coun try. She came to. Philadelphia, and engaged herself as a servant girl at a boarding school foryoung ladies, which was located at the south-west corner of Third and Walnut streets. . The young Irish girl soon distinguish ed herself by her sober industry, her strict integrity, her morbid antipathy for the male sex tot which she had had such sul experience th rough her worth less brother-in-law), and by her devout ness as a rigid Catholic. The older of our readers will remember the disgrace ful scenes which took place in 1821, in consequence of the differences between Priest I Logan, of St. Mary's Church, and the Bishop of the Diocese. These dif ferences culminated in a riot at the church between the partisans of the two clergymen, and the aid of the police and of the marines from the Navy Yard had to be invoked to quell the dis turbance. Nerah had been the warm advocate of Father Hogan, and she was a witness to the disgraceful scene at the church. She saw armed soldiers take possession ~ r the temple where she was aci•ustomed to worship ; she saw men in furiated by their passons contending for the mast-ry on the spot where her ideal of purity and love was enthronged, and her reason gave way beneath,the shock. The first open indication of insanity given by 'Norah was on'i the morning succeed i ng the Saturday upon which the riot occurred. Early on the morning of Sunday the neighbors were aroused from their slumber by a furious rattling of stones upon the roofs oftheout-huild ing,s of the hounding school where Norah lived. Ipon inquiring, into the cause of the racket it was discovered that the poor girl had gone raving mad, that she was exorcising some imaginary devil through the medium of pebbles, and in voking- to her aid the whole slender of saints, mingling up with them, in the most incongruous manner, her own grandmother. For forty-four years poor Norah has dealt in this same staple conversation. The sonic wild mixture of saints and fiends, of things temporal and spiritual, of !natters practical and uncouth, always blended up strangely with her grand mother, has distinguished the jargon of 2. - •; . orall during all her long, mournful ph.grimage through the flintastic realm into which she entePed upon that sad Saturday evening, in .15.21. Norait's dress was almost as wild and fittastic as her temper ; a man's hat, men's loitg boots, a curiously cut plaid cloak, fastened about the waist by a broad leather girdle, was her usual cos tume. She frequently carried about with 'her a boot-jack, a grid-iron, or soine other uncouth implement, which she would use in her invocations to her grandmother and the saints; and her denunciations of the devil. A naper I ox or a gingham bag, in which she carried suud I matters of rubbish, which were given to her, or which she would pick up in the streets, was her invaria ble companion The writer of this ar ticle, when a boy, has received many a marble, or bit of ribbon, or a fragment of (.n ',wed glass front the receptacles named, as a reward for carefully follow ing Norah in the recital of the Lord's Prayer and the Catholic Creed. Norah, though crazed, was by no means a fool or lacking sagacity. lier wits, although " jangled out of tune, tin harsh,'.' were not destroyed. She knew how to drive a sharp bargain, and while fulfilling her own part of the contrai•t to the very letter, she exacted an equally strict compliance with the terms upon - the part of those whom she dealt with. On one occasion, many years ago, Norah was employed to do sinne work at the Friends' Old Altus house, on Walitut street, above 'Third. The bargain was, that Norah was to have a I'oolll in the building while the work was in progress. She secured the hey of the apartment, and held on to it lier the job was completed. The man- tigers of the institution becoming weary of their wild tenant, remonstrated with her, litAl.liey were met with such a vol ley of saints, grandmothers, and devils, with apustles and martyrs thrown in, that the staid followers of Geo. Fox were glad to beat a retreat. Norali held on to the room for a long time; but she had strict, though wild notions of justice, and she always made it a point to ren der an equivalent fof her room-rent in the shaps of labor. Oddly as it may sound to many, Noah Was a successful collector obilebts. It will, of course, be understood that it was only claims of the most desperate character that were entrusted to her care. But woe betide the debtor who refused to pay a bill that Norah believed to be just: A cousign uw tto purgatory was am °lig them ildest I utt klinient,s which she denounced •tgainst the tielheitynt. Sheltid a way too, of standing upon the sidewalk in front of the place of business of the of- fender, and of setting forth to an admir ing crowd the circumstances of the case, mingling.the whole with saints, devils,. and the ihevitable grandmother. The motley was generally forthcoming after a Mw such visits, and it was promptly paid over by Norah to her principal less he r unassionB. Of late years Norah has shown decid ed traces at the approach of age ; her old firm and springing step grew feeble ; her cheeks became hollow and her brow wrinkled, and her black hair became whitened. Even her eye lost much ,of its old wild fire, and her strange flights of language were less fre quent and more subdued. To the last she wore :her fantastic garb, and until within a short time she might be seen taking her place among the worshippers at St. John's Church, on Thirteenth street. Poor Norah is dead, and she will long he remembered with pity by those who knew her, and talked of in the future as among the most conspicu ous and best-known characters in Phil adelphia during nearly half a century. California Silks The soil and climate of California are admirably adapted to the growth of the mulberry tree in all its desirable vari eties to the breeding and feeding of the silk worm and to the production of silk, more so than almost any European country, owing to the fertility of the soil and dryness of the climate, giving a peculiarly rich and nutritive character, to the leaves of the mulberry tree,whicli imparts a higher, finer and more delicate quality to the silk produced from them.

Whig.l Hit were possible - :for=:the. enemy ,to overcome these States, - and to establish a coerced and noialinal 'Union,' they Would havesucceeded in doing - precisely; the thing most, pernicious to the peace,. prosperity - , and happiness Of both coun tries. It is not inapossilile to consider that, with our independence conceded, there would wake a day, perhaps not remotely, when, with the contiguity Of territory, and general harmony ofinsti tutions and interests, there would arise, even from the fierce contests of the pre sent time, a feeling of mutual respect for the power and spirit of the two peoples, a consequent regard for inter national rights, and, an observance of the proprieties and courtesies that preserve good ueighborship—to. be fol lowed soon by relations of intercourse, commerce and amity—the fruits of which would be security from without, tranquility within, and the rapid ad vanceof each powerin wealth, iniduence, and grandeur. But, from a fOrced and repulsive union, nothing can behuagin ed but perpetual discord and strife, the wearing away -by attrition of all the re sources of the people and the fretting out of all their - manhood. No principle is more deeply rooted in the Southern mind than that the consent of the governed is necessary to the legitimacy of government. The exis tence of a union not assented to, and the exercise of authority by rulers not of their choice would be to our people the constant evidence of their own. deg radation and bondage. They could never become reconciled to them, nor cease 'to struggle against them.— They would transmit M their ehrhiren au undying sense of the wrong and ig nominy entailed by this condition of things, and each new generation would come upon the stage burning with the consciousness that patriotism and honor demanded continued resistance. There would never again be peace, nor the opportunity. for the development of those great elements of prosperity and power with which both countries are so liberally endowed by nature. Society could know no repose—wealth could find no security on this continent, and would gradually and surely lind its way across the Atlantic—industry would lie perverted from the arts of peace to the employments of war—education would cease, from the drain made upon the lecture rooms by the camp—law' would yield to force—public mora Is degen crate, religion sink, and civilization recede. We do not overdraW the picture. There could never he a quiet submission by these people; free by birth, and proud and haughty by instinct and tradition, to the Yankee as a master; and if, by the employment of superior physical force, it were possible to overcome them, it would he necessary to keep that supe rior force always bearing upon theni to hold them down. The North could never disarm; it could never disband its armies ; it Would never be relieved from the neeesidty of keeping-up their numbers and equip ments ; it could never be exempt froth drafts or \vit.'. taxes ; it would find no breathing space in which it might re cover from the exhaustion of the tre mendous struggle in which it has been engaged,and re-adjust its policy and in dustries to the conditions of peace. War would be the normal state—actual con flict, or continual readiness for it. We do not pretend that it would he better with the South. The fact is that the suc cess of the North—seeming success it could only be—would be us to both rf•- CiprUCal destruction ; for, we repeat, our conquerors would never establish quiet here hot by coritilining to apply the force found necessary to overionte us. Subdued, submissive, finally -sub jugated we would never be. The situa tion of the man who had the wolf hy the ears would be the situation of the North. They would not dare to let go their hold, of us and they could not al one to hold On. Looking at it dispassionately, this war was, ou the part of the North, a great mistake, the greatest ever made by a people. They might easily have wade of us friends, the most profitable friends any nation ever had. \Viten they determined to make war on us, it was war with their own pockets, their own bread and butter. llad they been cool enough to reflect, they would have seen that success would still be , ruin.— Even now, they ought to be able to per ceive that persistence in war but involves them more deeply in the vortex of destruction. Much yet remains that might be saved, and time, the great healer, might restore many things that.sectu hopelessly lost— but it is as certain as that night follows day, that, if they go on in their present course, perdition is ahead of them, whether they seem to succeed or not; and we have no idea that they will so much as seem to succeed. Court Etiquette A very curious regulation of the Cham berlain's office, bearing date 1624, touch ing conduct to he observed by cutlets who were invited to dine With all Aus trian Archduke, runs as follows : ".11 is Imperial anti Royal flightless having deigned to invite several olili•ers to dine at ins table, and having had frequent opportunities of observing that the greater part of these officers behavh with the strictest courtesy and good breeding toward each other, and generally cdlYdu et themselves like true and worthy caval iers, nevertheless deems it advisable that the less experienced cadets should have their attention directed to the fol lowing code of regulations: 1. To pre sent their respects to his Imperial and Royal Highness on their arrival, to conie neatly dressed, coat and boots, and nut to enter the room in a half-drunken condition. 2. At tulle they arc not to tilt up their chairs or rock themselves therein, nor stretch their legs at full length. 3. Nor drink after each mouth ful, for if they do they will get tipsy too soon ; nor empty the goblet to the ex tent of more than one-half after each di .11, idol, before drinking therefrom, they should wipe the mouth and mous tache in a cleanly manner. 4. Neither are they to thrust their hands into the dishes, nor to throw the bones under the table. 5. Nor to lick their fingers, nor to expectorate in their plates, nor to wipe their noses on the table-cloth. 6. Nor drink so bestially as to fall from their chairs, and make themselves in capable of walk ing straight." We may well wonder what kind of manners pre vailed at that period among the lower grathis of society when we find a code like the above considered necessary to regulate the behavior of young officers who must have belonged to the noblest families.—Once a Week. Patriotism Practically Tested The Springfield i?(public,in, in an editorial on the various kinds of pa triotism, and the difference between gratitude to our soldiers in the abstract and concrete as developed by the times in which we live, eloquently relates the following incident which occurred with in that paper's own cognizance, and which might perhaps be paralleled by similar occurrences in other partS of the State : " A few days since a train of well fill ed cars was about to leave the Bpring field depot. A wounded soldier, leaning on one crutch and a cane, hobbled into a car in the rear, and looked wistfully up and down its crowded length. Wo men who had worked for the fair lean ed back complacently, in their cushion ed seats. Stout civilians whose liberal ity was known and read of all' men planted themselves more firmly on the plush,looked coolly over the head of the bowed figure in faded army blue. The worn warrior had no, claim. He was used to suffering; what mattered a little more just then? He had risked hislife for these people.; had shed his young . blood that they might sleep quietlyand ride i safety. Could he not stand a little while that they might sit?

He addressed the court as follows : It becomes my painful ddty to Move your Honor for the judgment of the law upon the conviction in the case of the- People vs. Bernard }'riery,convleted on the 17th of February of murder in the first degree. The Recorder—Put the prisonerat the bar. The prisoner, who was seated beside his counsel, 'Messrs. 6edgwiek and Stuart, then rose and stood at the bar. Mr. Henry Vandervoort, the clerk of the court, said: Bernard Friery, may remember that you have hereto fore been indicted for a certain murder and felony by you done and COMIlli tat'd: pO/1 that indictment you were ar raigned, and upon your arraignment pleaded not guilty, and put yourself upon the country for trial, which (701411- ry has found you guilty. What have. you now to say why judgment of death should not he pronounced against you according to law? Friery spoke as follows: I went Into Lazarus' place. I had no intention of harming him. I drank for three or four days,. and did not know what I was . doing. i was always the best or friends with iihn, and never had any falling out with Lim. When the unfortunate man had finished his remarks, Recorder Hoff man addressed him in the following words : Bernard Friery, on the morningof the :id day of January, 15115, in the presence of several witnesses, you stepped up to Henry Lazarus, said he was a Ood little -man," and plunged your dagger in his neck. The blade of it was about seven inches ' ; you drew it from the wound, wiped the blood from it with your ti ngers, remarked that "Harry was a good little noun, but you guessed you had fixed him," and left the room. As you went out in the open air, Henry Lazarus iqissed into the immediate pre sence of his (jod. He had done yoll no harm. It was a reckless, wanton mur der. It showed an utter disregard of human life, and was withoutthe slight est justification. The only plea that could be interposed in your behalf was that you were mad drunk when you struck the blow. Yourcounseldidall for you thateauld be done, but it was in vain for them to struggle against the terrible fauts,which were proven beyond the pos sibility of contradiction. The jury promptly rendered a verdict of guilty of _e( murder in the first degree, and that b verdict consigns you to death upon the gallows. There is a class of men in this city, of whom you may be considered a representative, who have no respect for the laws of God or man. They violate bolll, ill the belief that they can do so with impunity, and it is only when the heavy hand of punishment falls upon them that, they realize their accounta bility to either. It is well for society that there are occasions when such men eau be made to feel that the pemdities of violated law are certain and severe. The thousands who have watched your trial, in the belief that you would escape punishment through some Lech n lean ties of the law, will be taught a lesson when you stand upon the scaffold which they will not soon forget. Your conviction and death will teach them that in law drunkenness is no excuse for crime, and that courts awl jurors have made up their minds that those who carry and use pistols and daggers, and other instruments of death, will be held to the strictest accountability. A few years ago men would shudder when they heard it said, " that man carries a pistol," or ‘' that man carries a dirk," and the wearer of concealed weapons was avoided as a felon, or as an outlaw would be. 'Po-day thousands of men walk the streets of this city armed with revolvers or with knives, perhaps with both. Such men are doubtless sitting in this court room to-day. If they are notheremy words will reach them when I say that henceforth jurors will assn nth e, in the absence of proof to the contrary, that the Mall who carries a deadly -wea pon concealed about his person, does IL for and on purpose of Whence, and not for defence—fur mischief and not for good. I have no de sire, Friery, on this occasion, to say an unnecessary word. But through you and through this opportunity I must speak a word of warning to the thous ands of young men in this metropolis who are travelling the same road through which you have travelled. It is that, road which leads to death in the prison or on the gallows. Let them re menilier your fate and shun it. You have violated the law, and in your con viction the law is vindicated. You had a fair trial before a carefully selected jury. Their verdict was and the punishment is death. In the progress of your case through the appellate courLs that punishment may lie fur a time averted; but rest assured, it must come at let t. You cannot escape it, and it is your duty to prepare fur it. Listen, now, to the judgment of the court, which is:—That you, Bernard Friery, for the murder and felony whereof you stand convicted, lie taken hence to the place from you came, the re to he safely kept and Jetained, and that on Friday, the 31st day of March, between the hours of twelve o' clock, noon, and two o'clock iu the afternoon, you be hanged by the neck until you are dead, and may Chid have mercy on your soul. lEl=l Friery, to the casual observer, did not appear to exhibit any emotion while the Recorder was passing the terrible sentence upon hits. Some would even interpret the expression of his comae nancelas that of stolid indifferenee; Intt a (losers:lndy of hic I,lll)er:intent would show that he has more strength and nerve than mere emotion and a person possessing such an organization, really tee I, more deeply than the external ap pearance would indicate. The Clerk then read the order to the sheriff, Mr. John Kelly, who was in at tendance, directing him to take charge of the prisoner, and to carry out the sentence of the court. it is a remarkable fact that seven weeks ago Henry Lazarus, who came to an untimely death, was alive and in the enjoyment of perfect health, and seven weeks thereafter Bernard Friery, his murderer, is, to all intents and purposes, dead. There has not been a similar in stance in the history of the administra tion of criminal justice in New York,-of where a party charged with murder has been arrested, indicted, tried, con victed and sentenced with such expedi tion, and yet with such a strict regard for the rights of the accused. Such an example must, necessarily, have a wholesome effect upon the community, and convince the lawless portion of New York that the machinery of the courts of justice, operated by upright judges and efficient prosecuting officers, will be -put in motion to punish crime. tirlt has been a habit with all strong governments, after a war is over, and after it has vindicated its poWer,-to ren der the future as little gloomy and its yoke as easy to its subjects as possible; but nothing of this sort comes from the United States. Nothing comes from it to soothe our feelings, nothing to allevi ate the terms of a settlement, if it were possible for such asettlement to be made. It would seem possible that Lincoln might have offered something to a 'peo ple with two hundred thousand soldiers, and such soldiers [applause,] under arms. Could it be probable to him that we could go into the United States gov ernment as rebels, assuming the responsibility of all the blood that has been shed, confessing that we have kept up a wicked and needless war, submitt ing to laws confiscating our property' and taking the lives of our people?—R.

The 'first of the glorlotia event of to day was - witnessed before'daybreaki this morning. As:we:lay at our anchorage, surrountiOdiJythe .blockadera, our at tention was„ attracted by, a lurid and vivid flaSli, for an instant illuminating the - Whole Ni"estern horizon, diseldsing, iii-the'darkness innumerable fragments ying.in all directions, followed by a denap column of smoke and flame, and soon the report of a 'terrible explosion. The glYcick was - discernable in the eet.. Tharnediately after other fires were 4o be seen in several -parts of the , city, and it was supposed that. 6herturn had made his appearance in the rear_ of the City, or that the ,efienly . way evacuating: it waS anxiously we atted• the issue of our speculations. Shortly after:daylight the evacuation of Charlesp34 was discovered by the vi dates on James.lslaud, The agreeable tidings were immediately communi cated to Brigadier General Alexander Schemmelfiunig, and preparations were at once-made for occupation. ,At ten o'clock this morning the city and fortifications were possessed by a portion of General Schemmelfinnig's command -from James and Morris Islands. Lieutenant colonel A. G. 4en nett; Twenty-first United i7itates eolbred troops, and Uolonel Ames, Third Rhode Island artillery, are said to have been the first in the city. The time of theevaeriation is not pre cisely known, though the picket boats in the harbor report unusual stir at Forts Sumter and Moultrie during the entire night, and the last troops are re ported to have left at sic-A. M. In the occupation DO opposition was made by the enemy, and his pickets withdrew upon the appearance of the Union troops. Atter the evacuation a large number of stragglers remained in the city to gratify their propensity for pillage, and only withdrew, bearing their booty with them, when closely pressed by the Union troops. A large number of men took advan tage of the hasty departure of their de camping comrades by secreting them selves in vacated residences, and when fairly certain or their safety, made their appearance in the streets and surrender ed to the first sq uad of Union troops they met; The stories were, as usual, disgust ing and thoroughly satisfied bellicose propensities. The conflagrations which we witness is morning prove to have been the ling of immense quantities of cot and the explosions were caused by rd e destruction of magazines, ware ouses and depots. In one of the latter a large quantity of powder was stored. A train was set and ignited by a rebel soldier, who remained behind for that work. The buildings were tilled with half-famished inhabitants of the city, picking up rice and corn, and it is re ported they were all killed by the force of the explosion or crushed beneath the debris of the tumbling building, There was but one known practical exhibition of the " Moscow '' devotion, and that was in the case of a deluded owner who set his house on tire and took his departure with the rearguard of the enemy. This act of harmless rage, we presume, did not materially embarrass or endanger the occupation by our forces. At daylight the rams in front of the city were blown up ; also ten thirteen inch _Blakely guns of the Wharf battery were burst. The remaining six guns Were spiked and the carriages destroyed. That portion of the city exposed to our shells is almoSt in ruins, and had long been abandoned by its occupants. The buildings were either entirely de molished or so much destroyed as to necessitate entire reconstruction. The streets are filled with rubbish, and here and there a shell or solid shot exhibits the agent of such destruction. The population remaining, in the city consists eutireLy of negroes and the poorer , class of whites. Many of them are said to rejoice greatly in the change of administration. Major General Gillmore left Hilton Head, S. C., in his tlagboat W. W. Coit, for Bull's Bay, at one o'clock this A. M. Upon perceiving indications of the evacuation he pushed immediately up to the city and landed. Capt. H. M. Bragg, of his staff, in a small boat, visited Fort Sumter and placed the national colors on the parapet. There are four colum brads and live howitzers in the fort. A rebel flag, discovered hid under a pile of rubbish, was brought off by Captain Bragg. There are a huge number of guns in the works around the city and in the forts in the harbor. It is also said the approach to the city is lined with torpedoes. -As yet no explosions have been reported. Sherman, with his itinerant army, has already visited Branch vile, Orange burg, Columbia, and Lexington, and continues to prosecute vigorously his journey. It is said he is determined to visit all the coast cities in his tour to Richmond. As we are about taking our departure the fleet presents a magnificent variety of hunting iu the shape of the national colors, insignia of command and signal flags. 'The gallant tars crowd the rig ging, and are freely ventilating their lungs with deep inhalations, and loud huzzas. Trade With Mexico The exports from this port to the ports of Mexico have been for some time on a vastly Increased scale—greater than to any other country except Great Britain —and embracing an Li 11 usually large pro portion of merchandise which gives employment to the mechanical industry and ingenuity of our people. Our export clearances to Mexico, for the past week were valued at au aggregateof about one million, seven hundred thousand dollars (51,700,000), and this is not the first time since the opening of the new that the weekly exports have exceeded a million dollars. The exports of the past week enll.irace "dry goods" to the value of $430,600 ; clothing to the value of 5110,000 ; shoes, $107,300 ; flour, 000 ; hats, $70,000 ; cotton cards, $20,000; corn, $40,000 ; drugs, $30,-100 ; entlee, $100,300; " carriages," $011,000; " hard ware," and "cutlery," $60,000; machin ery, $25,01i0; harness, $7,-100. This suil den demand for these articles from Mex ico has one or two causes—perhaps both. They are designed to be sent across the border to the rebels in the 'Frans-Mis sissippi Department, or they are to fill the Mexican warehouses, preparatory to the disruption ofpeaceful relations with the United States. Which is the lead ing motive in the matter, a very short time will probably determine.— World. St. Louis in Danger A wager of five hundred dollars aside has been made at Alton, Illinois, that if the rise in the river is as great this spring as it was in 1859, the Mississippi would break through into Long Lake, opposite the mouth of the Missouri, and thus leave St. Louis eleven miles train the river. The gentleman who offered to bet is the owner of the land which is being cut through by the current of the Missouri, and he states that less than a quarter of a mile breadth of land only is left as a barrier. It must be remem bered that this spring will see a repe tition of the seven years' flood, and, should; the river break through at the above point, it would render useless the scheme for a railroad bridge, as the pre sent bed of the river could be crossed dry Shdd. The 'Massachusetts - plan of filling her quotas from outside - sources is not a new one. ' 'So • longago as :Nrarch 17,1778, Gen. Washington'wrote to Jame S.
