Ats4 - gccaigow. Ciaige the First, and Sophia of Zell. Historians have generally passed over as of very little moment, the story of the consort of George the First. The following authentic. particulars will in terest many readers : •"Sophia,. at the' time of their mar riage, was only- sixteen years of . age, and was -a princess of great personal charms and mental endowments, yet her attractions did not retain the affections of her husband: After she had brought him a son and a daughter, tie‘neglected his amiable consort, and attached him self to a favorite mistress. . "Such was the situation of Sophia when Count Konigsmark, -a Swedish nobleman, arrived at Hanover: He , was-a man of good figure, and proles., sional gallantry ; had been formerly' enamoured of Sophia at Zell, and was Supposed to have made - some impres sion on.her heart. On the sight of her his passion, which hail_been diminish ed by absence, broke out with increas ing violence ; he had the impudence publicly to renew, his attentions; and as George was absent at the army, he made his solicitations with redoubled aMour. Information of his attachment, and of his success, vhs conveyed to Ernest Augustus ; and one evening, as the Count - came out of her apartment. and was crossing a .passage, he was put to death by persons placed to intercept him, in the presence of the Elector; and tradition still marks the spot where this murder was committlid. Sophia was immediately put under arrest.; and though she solemnly protested her in 'nocenc'e, yet circumstances spoke strongly against her. • "George, who neverloved, his wife, gave implicit credit to the account of her infidelity, as related by his father; consented to tier imprisonment, and ob tained:from the ecclesiastical consistory a divoree, which was passed on the 28th of December, 1694. And even her father, the Duke of Zell, who doat ed on his only daughters, does not seem to - have entertained any doubts of her guilt, for be always continued up on the strictest terms of friendship with Ernest Augustus; and his son-in-law. " The unfortunate Sophia was icon fined in the castle' of Alden, situated on the small river Alter, ia the Duchy of Zell. She, terminated her miserable existence, after-a -long captivity of thir ty-two years r an jhe 13th of November, 1726, in the sixty-first year of her age, or seven months before the death of George the First; and she was an nounced in the " Gazette" under the title of the Electress Dowager of Han over. " During her whole confinement she behaved 'with 'mildness and dignity; and on receiving the sacrament . once every week, never omitted, on that aw ful occasion, making the-most solenin asseverations that she was not guilty of „the crime laid to her charge. Subse quent circumstances have come to light, which appear to justify her memory ; and reports are current in Hanover that ler Character was basely defamed, and that she fell a'sacrifice to the jealousy "and perfidy of the Countess of Platen, favourite mistress of Ernest Augustus. Being enamoured of Count Konigs. mark, who slighted her overtures, jeal ousy took possession oilier breast; she determined to sacrifice both the lover and the princess to her vengeance, and circumstances favored her design. "The prince was absent at the army; Ernest ,Augustus was a man of warm paihionS and violent temper, easily ir ritated, incapable of control. Sophia herself had treated Count Kongismark with regard and attention, and the lov er was hot-headed, self-sufficient, prid ing himself on his personal accomplish ments, and accustomed to succeed in affairs of gallantry. - " Those who .exculpate Sophia as sert either that a common vi t was construed into act of criminality, or that the Countess of Platen, at a late hour, summoned Count 'Comgsmark in the name of the princess, though without her connivance ; that on being introduc ed Sophia was surprised at this intru sion, that on quitting the apartment he was discovered by Ernest Augustus, whom the countess had placed in .the gallery, and was instantly assassinated by, persomi whom she .had suborned for that purpose. _ " Many pesons of credit at . Hanover have riot scrupled, since the death of Ernes; Augustus and George the-First, to express their belief that the imputa tion cast on Sophia was false and un just. It is also reported that her hus band having made an offer of reconcil iation, she gave this noble and disdain ful answer of haughty virtue unconi;, scions of stain: "If what I ammo*. ed ',Cis true, I am unworthy of his bed; and if my accusation is false, he lei un worthp of me. I will not" accept his offers." A GOOD SOCIETY. 411. Boston they have self-examiningsociety." One of the articles of the constitution of the society is as follows ; " That there shall be no public or private meeting of this society on any appointed days, to manage its concerns, or too hear lectures delivered before it; but it shall be the duty of every day, and listen to the lectures of his own conscience." Tem and the British Polity. The' British' policy 'unquestionably is,to"extend' her commerce and her power iheieier, she can plant them; and the statesmen who_have carried on this policy—and. here whigs and tories are one—have never failed on emergen 'cies to figure it out plain that thel.lsacred influences of humanity " and the in terests of her manufacturers are identi fied ! They are identiol when the iron hoof grinds the poor Hindoo to the dust, or when British grenadiers mow down ( the Chinese as the scythe cuts the grass. They have been identical' :all through the centuries of wrong Eng land has inflicted on Ireland. They always will be identical wherever Great Britain deems it necessary to get anew •foothold on any spot on the globe. It was this policy and-this identity of in terest that prompted Palmerston to seize on the golden opportunity for an with Texas.. And in consequence of this alliance the premier will probably avow the right to interfere, and undoubt edly ourination will, we hope to a man, resist , this. right. President Tyler has said. ' , the question is purely American," and we believe he has spoken the voice of Americans. President Monroe de. Glared that no European interference shonld be allowed on this continent; and the declaration, which did - so much to raise our national character, will be adhered to. We shall soon know the course Great Britain will pursue. She goes on adding to her dominion, terri tory after territory, as she has recently conquered Scinde, and no .. right-to in terfere" is claimed on the part of this country. The European_ powers can go on carving nations in pieces and di viding the Spoils, and no 2' right to in terfere" is heard from this country... 7-- And is it to be endured that two indepen dent American nations cannot treat to gether for their mutual ' interests with- out having this arrogant claim thrust in upon them ? If now this great aggran dizing power, Great Britain, sees fit to scowl and bully us, the only effect will be to make ten friends of annexation in this country where there is now o z friend to it. It will not weigh afe t • er in preventing the .. lone star" of ex as from being numbered with th twen ty-six that now fl oat upon the 'spang led banner."—Post. / A FEDERAL Teicx.- 7 , The Federa lists, afraid as ever to c ome out in their true colors; are resorting, to a mean ex pedient to make partizans, out'of men who are either opposed to CLAY, or are indifferent in - Ahe contest. Instead of forming CLAY or BANK clubs, is they ought to do to be honest, the im pudent imposters carry out Bills for the signature of men favorable to a " Tar iff Club," and then, they parade the signers as enrolled under the banner of CLAY. We caution the friends of the Tariff—he staid in Congress till the Bill was about to come up, fighting for the Bank and Banlirupt Bills, and then ". made tracks" for Ashland. He nor his satellites are not to trusted. WHIG Evinrvcc.:--The whigs are trying to clear Mr. Clay of the ..bargain and intrigue," by . producing Mr. Ad ams, one tit the interested parties, as evidence, whom they declare .. would not be guilty of alalsehood." If Mr. Adam's veracity ib of such high order with the whigs, they must certainly endorse the remarks he once made in a letter to Dutee J. Pierce, in which he declared that the whig party were .. bound together only by a cement of hatred to every man of purer princi ples than themselves." A MARFA NEST.-The - Advertiser has found a • mare's nest at last. Mr. Clay, in one of his Northern faced par. agraphs,gives an equivocal endorse ment to the present tariff, and the Ad vertiser seems to be as tickled about it as a boy with a speckled handled pen knife. We don't like to mar our friend's plea Sure but is proper for us to say to those who wish to know, that Mr. Clay, in the same letter, says that the exorbitant parts of the present tariff ought to be repealed.—Newark Post. INCIDENTAL s iPROTECTION.--The Maine Age say Col. Times views on this subject are sound. He is op posed to direct tips, and in favor of supporting government by means , of'? tariff. The want !! of the government require a tariff, Which will be high enough to afford all reasonable protec tion, so that the question may be con sidered as settled. Mr. Clay's declared views are precisely the same as those of Col. Polk." INTERESTINO SPEyram.E.—Punch records among other interesting sights the spectacle of a black cook of an American packet ship. with a face shin ing like a porter bottle, parading one Of the public streets of London with • a beautiful white girl banging on his arm, ith her nurse behind, leading a small mulatto responsibility by the hand 3000 twits !—The - Baltimore Re publican, a daily paper; has published, since the nomination of Polk and U lu, THREE THOUSAND changes froctifederalism to Democracy,,among them are smile of-the most , distinguish ed men in the'nation: This looks like going:ahead with s rush'! ' CrisAP RE-Grtamo.—A gold deter gent has made its appearance in Paris, by which gilt frames may be made as good as new at the cost of a few pence. Niles, 4,• Luau, "tik.;president of Texai, now oti o s vian ip his native§tate, ear. gia, has beep galled tiputi by , the peo ple to give his views on Annexation.— He states frankly, that , . if. Congress, when, it'again assembles; does not pass some treaty of annexation, that the pea-, ple of Texas will despair of ever seeing` it done—that they ,are now laboring under great difficulties—that the publie mind is fast approaching to the deter mination'to purchase peace at any sac rifice, and that they will be driven - to accept such favorable regulations and propositions from England as will place their commercial interests ashore their present depressed condition. CLAY FOR TEXAS-.-THE SOUTORRR FACE.-Mr. Clay has written a letter to the editor of the Tuscaloosa (Ala.) Monitor, in which he says, "personal ly I could have no objection to the an nexation of Texas; but I certainly would not be willing to see the existing Union dissolved, or seriously jeepard ed, for the sake of acquiring Texas."— As no one is wild enough to suppose that there is the slightelt danger to the permanency of the Union from the an nexation of Texas, this, of course, amounts to an open declaration in favor of annexation, and is designed as an off' set to his letter of the 17th of 'April against annexation. This is Clay all over—high tariff views for the / North, and low tariff views for the Southoind anti-Texas views for the ;Worth, and pro-Texas views for the 'outh.

ANECDOTE/ OF TUE PENNSYLVANIA Winsars / INSiJIMECTION.—The march of the Macpherson Blues against the insurgents in 1794.—" An anecdote is related of the citizen soldiers" in this expedition which is worthy of being recorded.. The person referred to was a German by birth, of the name of Koch, and was known in Philadelphia in his day, as a large out-door under writer. He died in some ten or twelve years, since, in Paris, leaving a fdrtune estimated .at' $1,200.000. Mr. Koch like young Shaw, was a private in the Macpherson Blues. It fell to his lot one night to be stationed sentinels over a baggage waggon. The weather t was cold, raw, stormy and wet. This set the sentinel musing. After remaining on post half an hour, be was heard call ing lustily, " Corporal of der guartz— Corporal of der guartz." The corporal came, and inquired what was wanting. Koch wished to -be relieved for a few minutes, having something to say to Macpherson.—He was' gratified, and in a few minutes he stood in the pres ence of the general. " Well, Mr. Koch, what is your pleasure ?" asked Macpherson. " Why. yeneral, I wish to know what may be , der value of dat d—d waggon over which I am ahead nel ?" Howthe devil should I know; Koch?" " Well, somet'ng approzi mative--not to be barticular." " A thousand dollars, perhaps." " Very well, Yeneral Macpherson, I write a shock for der money, and den I will go to beds." G WING IT tri. !—The Gettysburg Republican Compiler says : one of the whig orators of this place declared recently at one-ot their meetings, that !. So sure as General Markle is defeat ed in October, so sure will-Polk carry Pennsylvania in November !" This is significant. There is no intelligent man in the State who entertains the most remote idea of Markle's success." FATTENING FOWLS WITH POTATOES. —There is a great profit in feeding geese, turkies, and fowls of every sort, with potatoes and meal mixed. They will fatten in nearly one half the time that they will on any kind of corn or even meal itself. The potatoe must be bruised fine while hot, and the meal added when the !mush is given to them. • PURSUIT of nurrit.—The mind that is open to conviction, and determined to pursue truth wherever she may guide, will derive lessons, even from its own mist4es, which may prove salutary to itself and to the world. Oh ! how grand is that character that can glory of immutable truth ? TwicE Surrn.N.—A. gentleman, in Shelby county, Ky., fell desperately iu love the other day with a girl, at first sight, and attempted to kiss her, where upon she knocked him down D'!l. Here's the banisters, but where are the stairs?" as the drunken fellow said, when =he felt.his way around the bed stead in the dark.
