A STARTLING CONFESSION We . take the following from the police .re ports in the Philadelphia Press : i • Mordecai Paine,-a saddler doing basiness in South Ninth street, was 4.4.llled_home from his work-shop on Saturday morning, by a messenger who brought the -melancholy in telligence that his wife, Barbara, had taken arsenic for the purpose of committing eide, and was then at the point.. of death.— Ile hastened to her bed-side, and found her in more agony of mind than of body: She declared that there was something On her mind which the vilshed to'confess to him be fore her departure, with the hope of obtain ing his forgiveness. Mr.-Paine, - with great emotion, desired Ileum go on • with the dl4- closure, adding, that she might assure herself of his forgiveness before she had made known her <Allier. " Ah, Mordecai," said she, "you remem ber our largo white pitcher was, brokeb some time ago • 1 pretended to you that the: cat broke it ; that was false, for 1 ttipzielt did I it." 4 " Oh, my dear," said Mr. Paine, : 9 don't concern yourself about stich a trifle.: I ha') forgotten the pitcher, and' it matters not how it was broken." " There is another matter," said 11 after some hesitation. " The six silver which I made you believe were stolen Yankee cloe`k mender ; I pawned •ti raise money to pay the milliner fur d my pia satin bonnet." " Never mind it, my !orb," said 11f;: encouragingly. " I hope heaven wir you' as freely as I di)." lifter a short pause,'Mrs. - P. begat " Your best razor, which you toi;. summer, and made so- much to do , swapped it aWay to a peddler, for a shell Comb." "The deuce wc , 11," said recollecting ; himself," this is till d and can't be amended.

At .Drayt.ol, the conversation often turned upon such topics, and Mr. Ste phenson freelf joined in it. On'oneoceasion an animated conversation took place between himself and Dr. Bucklattd, on one of'hislfitvo rite theories as to the formation of coal; But the result was that_Dr. Blickland;. a Much greater master of tongue fence than StePhen, sub, completely silenced him. Next mOtttiintr c before breakfast, when he was walking in the Wounds, deeply .pondering, Sir Williarti'Fol let came up, and asked him what . he was thinking about. i• "Why, Sir William, I ' , am t,hinkingl over that arguinent I had With Buckland last night. I know 1 am right, and that, if.l had only the command of words which be has, I'd I have beaten 'him." '1 "Let me know-all about it," said Sirl " and, I'll see what I can du for . you." The two sat down_in an Itrbor, where astute lawyer made himself' thoroughly 'ac quainted with-the points of the case; 'entcr int , into it with all the zeal of an 'advocate about" to plead the dearest interests of liis cli ent.,. After, he had mastered- the subject, Sir Wllltam rose 'up, rubbing his hands With glee, and •-aid— " Now' I am ready for 'tin." Sir Robert Peel was made acquainte with the plot, and adroitly introduced the s tbjett of the controversy after dinn'er. The result - wasohat in the argument 'which 'followed, the. man of science was ovehcome by the matt of law ; and Sir William Pollet had, at all points, the mastery over Dr..lßuck 'land.. • "What do you say, Mr. Stephenson," ask ed Sir Robert, laughing.
