&pillion and Burr.
DISAPPOIN run, and all his hopes blighted, as be
believed, by Hamilton's instrumentality, Burr be-
came eager for vengeance. Humiliating was the
contrast between himself and Hamilton, to whom,
in his anger, he was ready to ascribe, not his politi-
cal defeat merely, but his blasted character also.—
Though fallen from his former Station of command
ing influence in the conduct of affairs. • Hamilton
outnumbered, indeed, but too respectable to be de
spised ; while, of his bitter opponents, 'bone, 'with
any pretensions to character or candor, dottbt
his honor or questioned his integrify. Tar, on the
. other habd,;saw himself distrusted ithd inspeited
by every body, and just about to sink into political'
annihilation_ and peConiary ruin. TwO Months

had no great entellect=that, Harnili . On killed or dis
graced, and drub removed out of the way, he might
yet retrieve ilia desperate fortune's.
Among other publecOuns made in the course of
the late contest were two letters by a I:tr. Cooper,
zealoos partisan of Lewis, in one of which it is
alleged that Hamilton had epoken of Barr as a
" dangerous man, who ought not to be busted With
tie reins of government." It the' other 'letter, at
repeating the above statement, Cooper adds,

Burr's curt, rude , and offensive reply began with
intimating thatilamilion'a letter was greatly' defi
cient in that sincerity and delicacy which he pro.
firmed so. much to valcm.• The epithet' in question,
in the common understanding of it, implied dishon.
or, It having' been affixed to Burr's name upon
INunilton's authority, hewn bound , to say whether .
he had authorial it, either directly, or by uttering
expressions or opinions derogatory to eines honor.
• It was apparent from this letter, and it was sub
sequently distinctly stated by Van Ness, that what
Burr required was a general disavowal on the part
of. Hamilton of any intention, in any conversation
,be might ever•have held, to convey impressions
derogatory to-the honor of Burr. •
Granting Burr's right to make this 'extraordinary
inquisition•into Hamilton's confidential conversa
lions. and correspondence, it would have beim quite
out of the gnestion for Hamilton to make any such
disavowal. His practice as a lawyer had given
him full insight into Burr's swindling pecuniary
=suctions, and he tadlong regarded him, in his
private+ arr well u his political character, as a con
summate villain, as reckless and unprincipled ws he
. wag' cool; audacious, and entmprising— , an opinion
tm
which he had found fr ne occasion to express
more or less distinctly hile 'waning his federal
friends against the arts of Barr
. desirous, however, to deprive Barr of any possi
ble azense fOr persisting in his morderons Mien•
thing, Hamilton caused a paper, to be transmitted to
hint; tbrotigk Pendleton, a brother lawyer, who act.
ed as his-friend in this matter, to the effect that, if
properly addresseil—:for Qart's.•eecond letter was
considered too insulting to admit of a reply—he
sbuttld be willing to state that the conversation allu
ded to by Dr. Cooper, so far as he ,could recall it
was *holly in relation to politics, and did not touch
Upon Bitres'irtivate character ; nor should he hesi
ate to make atr equally prompt avowal or disa
tvowal as to any other particular and specific con
versation as to which he might be questioned.
Hut as Burr's only °Neel *as to find "a pretext for
a challenge, since he never eonld here expected
the general disavowal he demanded ; this offer was
pronounced unsatisfactory and a mere evasion; and
again, :a second time, disavowing in the en. me
breath the charge made against - him Of predetermin.
ed hostility, Burr reqttested 'Van-Ness to deliver a
challenge. Even after Redelivery, Hamilton made
a Wither attempt at pacific arrangement in a second
paper, denying any, attempt to evade, or intention
to defy or insult, as hid been insinuated, with par
ticular referetice to the closing paragraph of Ham
ilton's first letter, in Burr's. observations, through
-Van Ness, on Hamilton's first paper. But this sec.
oni paper Van Ness refused to receive, on the
ground that the challenge had beta already given
and accepted. It was insisted, however. on Ham ,
ilton's part, as . the Federal
- Circuit Court was in
session, in which he had many important case
that the meeting ahoold be postponed till the Court
watt over, since he was not . willing,'by any aet- of
his, to expose his cheat! to embarrassment, loss,,or
delay.
THR DCI)6L:
It was not at all in the spirit of the professed du
elist, it was not upon any paltry point of honor, that
Hamilton had accepted.this extraordinary chailen _ e,
by which it was-attempted to hold him answerable
for thenninerous imputations on Burr's characte ,
bandied about in conversation and in the newspa

opposite New York, -were at the OW the . usual
field of these singlo - combats,ther4eltieffy by reason
of the inflamed.state of political feeling, of frequent
occurrence, end very seldom ending'teithont blood
shed. •The day having imen 'fixed, and the hour
appointed at seven °quoit in*the morning, the par
ties met; accompanied only by theirgeconds. The
-barge-men, as well as Dr. Hosackohe surgeon mu ,
-tually a,greed upon, remained, as esual, at a dis
tance', in order, if anyfatal result should occur, not
to be witnesses. The'parties having exchanged sa
lutation, theymconds wageted - the distance- of ten
paces, loaded the pistols ; made the other prelims
nary artungementii and placedthe combatants.—
At the appointed signal, Burr took deliberate aim,
and fired. The ball entered Hamilton's side, and
as he fell his pistol, too, was tmconsziously discharg ,
ed. Burr approached him apparently somewhat
moved ; but on the suggestion of his second, the
surgeon and barge-men already
_approaching, he
tamed and hastened away, Van Ness cooly cover•
ing him from their sight by opening an umbrella.—
The surgeon found Hamilton half lying, hall sitting
on the ground, supported in the arms of hie second.
The pallor of death was on his face. ." Doctor," he
said, ' , this is a mortal wound ;" and, as if over
come by the 'effort of speaking, be swooned quite
away. As he was carried across the river, the
'fresh breeze revived him. His own house being in
the country, he was conveyed at once to the house
of a friend, where be lingerei for twenty-four hours
in great agony, but preserving his composure and
self-command to the last.
• DEATH 01* HAMILTON.
The news of his death, diffused through the city,
produced the greatest excitement. Even that par
ty hostility of which he had been so conspicuous-an
object was quelled for the - moment. All were now
willing to admit that he was not less patriotic than
able, and that in his untimely death—for he was
only in his forty-eighth year—the country had so&
fered an irreparable lose. The general feeling ex
pressed itself in a public ceremony, the mournful
pomp of which the city had never seen equalled. A
funeral oration was delivered in Trinity Church by
Governor Morris, at whose aide, on the , platform
erected for the speakii, stood four eons of, Hamil
ton, between the ages of sixteen and six. Morris
briefly recapitulated Hamilton's public services and
noble virtues—his purity of heart, his rectitude of
intention, his incorruptible integrity. " I charge you
I to protect his lame !" he added ; it is all that he
has left—all that these orphan children will inherit
from their lather. Though he- was ; lsompelled to
abandon public lite, nexer for a moment did he
abandon . . public service. He never lost sight of
pet interests. in his most private and confiden
tial contersations, the single objects of discussion
were your freetiont-erid happiness. You know that
he never courted pier favor by adulation or the sac
rifice of his own judgment. You have seen _him
contending against you, and' saving your dearest in
terests, as it were in spite of yourselves. And yoo
now feel and enjoy file benefits resulting from the
firm energy of his conduct. He was charged with
ambition, and wounded by impotations, lie declar
ed, in the proud independence of his soul, that he
never would accept of any office unless, in a for
eign war,'he should be called on to expose his life
in defence of his country. Ito was ambitious only
of glory ; but he was deeply solicitous for you. For
himself he feared nothing ; but he feared that bad
men might, by false professions, acquire, your eon ,
fidence, and abuse it to your ruin."
In Hamilton's death the Federalists and the coun
t!" experienced a loss second only to that of Wash
ington. Hamilton possessed the: game rare and
lofty qualities, the same just balance of soul, with
k ess, indeed, of Washington's severe simplicity and
awe-inspiring presence, but more of warmth, varie
ty, ornament, anifgrime. It the Done in architec
ture be taken as the symbol of Washington's char
acter, Hamilton's belonged to the same'grand style
as developed in the Corinthian—if less impressive,
more winning. If we add Joy for the lonic, we
have a trio not to be matched, in fact not to be op•
preached, in our history, if, indeed, in any other.

Asiatic Weapons Elf the Exhibition
A discovery was made in the early part of Fri
day by one of the attendants in the India depart
ment of the Exhibition, while) employed m clean
ing some of the India weapon's, which somewhat
terrified the operator. The weapon in cluestion
was a dagger, with gold hilt and handle, and richly
omame ted case; and - while pressing oti one pad
111 the
hurdle somewhat heavily, he was astonish'
'
ed to see what appeared to be the single blade
gredoally expand and-open out into four double.
edged pointed Wades, leaving a spear like' weapon
in the centre of them, with four sharp edges. This
five-bladed weapon , with its twelve sharp edges, is
without exception one of the most mordekonit-rook.:
ing specimens ever seen. In the' edlleations of
this class of weapons there are several other in
strnments of a similar murderous character, among
which may be mentioned a three-bladed knife,
manufactured in the states of Ulwar, the crx.struc.-
tion of which has sorely puzzled many of the most
experienced coders. "The blades are not arranged
in the ordinary manner, fait two of them together,
widi their handles, are concealed in the blade and
handle of the outer or larger one. They are all of
the finest Damascus steel, with exceedingly keen
edger. There is adagg,er with two Wades, also
manufactured at thwar, of the same construction,
and of exceedingly beautiful workmanship. As
fine specimens of ornamentation may also be men
tioned three daggers manufactured in the states of
the Rajah of Joupdore, one from 141epauli one-of
dark steel inlaid with gold from the states of Raj
pootana, two Banneese, and stiletto' or Malacca

The Ameri&tn Expedition entered Wellingt, on's
Sonnd on the 26th of Aug., 185 e, where they met
Capt. Perry with the lady Franklin, and Sophia,
and were afterwards joined by Sir John Rosa and
Commodore Austin. On the Ilefth, Capt. P'erry dis
covered - unmistakable evidence of Franfifin's first
Winter, quarters.—tbree graves with buteriptions on
wooden headboards dating as late as Apri fy 1846.
Their inmates, according to these inscriptions, were
of hie crew—two from the Erebus end one from
he Terror. There were beeWe fragments of tom
canvas, articles of clothing, wood and cordage, un
doubted evidence of a large and long encampment ;
bur affording no indications which worth.: serve as
guides to the seareherS or give,ersuranee to hope
On the Bth of September the-Expedition forced
through the ice to Barbw's bile!, where they liar
rawly escaped being locked in in the ice._ But they
so tar succeeded, and on the I tth reached Griffith's
Island, the ultimate limit of their Western progress,
From this they set sail on the 13th, with the intent.
tiolf of returning to the United States, but were
looked' in, near the mouth of Wellington's Channel.
Here commenced those peritons advbnteres, any
thing cornphrable to whibh, were never endoenter

they were helplessly drifted to 75 2m. N.
lat., and thence drifted again into Lancaster acend,
somewhat, we should say, in a aouth-Masterly di.
rection. The' agitation of the ice elevated the Ad
vance nearly seven feet by the stern and keeled
her 2 feet 8 inches starboanl,. In thA' position she
remained, with stuns slight Changes, for five con
secutive months. And while - in It the depth of wm- -

The polar night fell upon them, and for eighty deys
no rays of solar light- broke upon' them. The
thermometer (Fahrenheit) ranged 4O degrees be.
low zero, and sometimes sank to SO. Early in this
awful, night. (November lith,) the Rescue was
' abandoned, for the purpose of economizing the luel,
and the crews of both vessel' determined to brave
their fate tegether. They every moment expected
the embracing ice would crash the vessel td atcrms;
and consequently stood prepared, sleeping in their
clothes with knapsacks on their backs, to try chances
on the ice, mid storm, and 'terror, and night. For
this terrible trial they had made every preparation;
had provisions sledged and everything in readiness
which might 6e useful for such a journey. They
were then 90 miles from land, and so certainly did
they expect that they should make this aliirming
trial that on two occasions, (Bth December and 23d

physieat exertion, and the care of Divine Provi
dence arrested any' fatal result; and the disease
yielded to a beverage compose of a sort of apple tea
and lemon jute. After entering Bafilirs Bay, Jan.,‘

became stationary and fist in the midst of a vast
plain, of ice, 90 miles from any land. Thestores
materials and cordage were stowed away in, snow
, houses erected on the ice, and encampment \vas
formed, with all the appearance, if not the solidity,
of terra firma. The tables of ice varied' from-three
to eight feet in- thickness.
