' , s ' s i e MEE THE GABLESTEWS WIFE. This rare, because plea sing passage in the do ' • • inestie history of a gameater (we do not mean the having a wife too good for him—which must be • the case with a 1 gamesters who have wives good _ . for anything—but the agreeable surprise which she had prepared for him against his downfall) is rela ted by Goldsmith, in his life of Beau Nasli. /It looks, says Mr. Liegh Hunt, like a page out of cne of Fielding's novels.. We have only to imagine Booth grown less civil, and Amelia remaining what she was, and the incident would have perfect ..ls; suited hen—At Tunbridge, in the year 17.15, Mr. J. Hedges made a very brilliant appearance; he had been Married about two years to a young lady Of great beauty and large fortune; they had, one child, a boy, on whom they bestowed all that affec tion that they could spare from each other. He i - knew nothing of 'gaming, nor seemed to have the • least passion for play; but he was unacquainted' with his own heart; he began by degrees to bet at the table for trifling sums, and his soul took fire at the prospect of immediate gain ; he w as • '. soon surrounded with sharpen, who with calm . rifts lay in ambush for his fortune, and coolly - took advantage of the precipitancy of his pas- His lady perceived the ruin of her family op - punching, but, at first, withoutbeing able to form t any scheme to prevent it. She advised with his brother, who at that time was possessed of a small fellowship at Cambridge. - It was easily seen that • whatever passion tank the lead in her husband's mind, seemed to be fixed there unalterably: it was determined,therefore, to'let him putsue fortune, but previously take measures to prevent the pur suit being fatal Accordingly, every , night this gentleman was a constant attendant ot , thekszard tables; be under stood neither the arts of sharpers, nor even the al - ' lovved strokes ofia connoisseur, yet still he played. The consequenie is obvious ; . he lost his estate, his .equipage, hif wife's jewels, and every other move able thaLiould be parted with, except a repeating • Watch./His agony, upon this occasion, was inex . • pressithe ;be was evenmean enough to ask a gen . • tlernan that satnear, to lend him a few pieces, in order to turn his fortune, but this prudent game / , sten who plainly saw there was no expectations o f being npaid, refused to leod a farthing, alleging a / *inner resolutionlasuinet lending. Hedges was at last furious with the continuance of ill-success, and polling out his watch, asked if any person in the company would set him sixty guineas upon it.— The company were silent: he then demanded fifty-; still no answer : be sunk to forty, thirty, twenty : finding the company still without answering, he cried out, "By heaven it shall never go for less !- and dashed it against the floor ; at the same time attempting to dash out his brains against the mar - ble chimney-piece. • -This last act of desperation' immediately exci ted the attention of the whole company; they in stantly gathered round, and prevented the effect of his passion; and after : he again became cool, he was, permitted to return home, with sullen discon tent to his wife. Upon his entering her apartment. she received bim with her usual tenderness and satisfaction; while he answered her caresses with contempt and severity, his disposition being quite altered with bis misfortunes. "But my dear Jem my," said his wife, "perhaps you don't know the news I have to tell; my mamma's old uncle is dead, the messenger is now in the house, and you know -his estate is settled upon you." This account seemed to increase his agony, and looking angrily at her he cried,"There you are in the wrong,my dear. his estate is not settled upon me." "I beg your pardon,"_ says she, -I really thought it was, at least you always told me so." "No," returned he, " u sore as you and I are to be miserable here, and our children beggars hereafter, I have sold the re version of it this day, and have lost every farthing I got for it at the hazard table." What, all V replied the lady. "Yes, every farthing," returned he; "and 1 owed a thousand pounds more than I have got to pay." Thus speaking, he took a few frantic steps•across the room. When the lady had a little enjoyed his perplexity, " No, my Sear," tried she, "you have lost but a :rile, and you owe nothing; your brother and I have taken care to pre vent the effects of your rashness; and are artu.ily the persons who have won your fortune; we- ern , played proper persons for this purpose who brought their winnings to me. Your money, your equipage, are in my possession, and here I return them to you, from whom they were lately taken. I only ask permission to keep - my jewels, and so keep you, my greatest jewel, from such dangers for the future. Her prudence had the proper effect. He ever after retained a sense of his former follies, and 'never . played again even for amusement. Cure for "the Rattlesnake Bite.—We have seen, indifferent newspapers, several communications testifying to the efficacy of Dr. Lee's cure for the •bit, ofa rattlesnake, by the free use of alchoholic spirits, which was published in this paper some days ego. From one of them, which appeased in the Salem Register, we make the following ex tract : " "A short Southern residence has enabled us to verify the remedy, and add one or two slight hints Aran the subject. The Mississippi Indians, upon be Int bitten by either the rattlesnake or moccasin, imeudtafe/y apply a poultice made of whiskey and sunpowder to the wound, and remain quiet. drink ing freely, however, of the spirit itself The virus, .thus, instead of penetrating the system, is brought to a pustule at the wound, and finally breaks as does a bile, discharging the poison. "The manner by which alcohol was found to be score for such bites is singular. In the Revolu tionary war a regiment of soldiers was stationed at Charleston, South Carolina; one of its members - being thoroughly intoxicated, fell upon a rattle- Ariake, which bit him in many places. The man was carried back to the gnrrison. lay insensible fur some time, and finally recovered both from the ef fect of the liquor and poison. The surgeon of the fort being called to a case shortly after, where the patient was intoxicated at the time of the bite, and ficollecting the former instance, began giving 'whiskey by the pint, at shOrt intervals, and soup made Os patient insensible—that is, dead drunk. He spedily recovered. This fact soon came to be generally known, and now,at the South, the bite of any poisonous reptile is Only considered as in convenient, not dangerous with proper care. The philosophy of the remedy appears to be that the powers of nature are suspended or paralyzed for-the time being, under the influence of intoxica tion, thus refusing to absorb the virus, and lying :in masterly inactivity.' by which the venom kept _upon or near the wound is there discharged, or soon loses its strength." caThe whole present number of ordinary mis sionaries 'in the world is estimated at about 1200 ; and of male and female assistant missionaries, at about 2400, making a total of 3600. The Bible has been printed in 133 languages and dialects, and all but thirty of these tiansla • tions are new, and were made chiefly by missiona ties since the institution of 'the British and For. eigit Bible Society in 1804. " The number of copies of the Bible and Testament which have been is. isued by the Bible,Society, is about thirty millions. Smypathy for Italy.—On Thursday evening, a lithe meeting of the friends of Italian liberty, who care in favor of the noble efforts of Pope' Pius IX. to establish the Constitutional Reform, now in .progress in the Papal States, assembled in the Mower saloon of the. Chinese Museum. John K. Kane acted as President, with a large number of Vice Prelidents. The resolutions, submitted by .Aobert Tyler, and adopted with acclamation, are _brief and,warmly, pertinent to the purpose. Seve ral speeches, were made by distinguished citizens, :and tbs meeting adjourned with cheers for the -Pops. The Guerrilas,—Gen. Scott has adopted the prop er course-tows - rife the villainous guerrilas. "The following is an extract from a recent order: - ".No quarters will' be given to known robbers or murderers, whether called guerrilaspr ranche. ros,and'Whether serving under Mexican commis sions or not.

We do this with the more pleasure, because of the high char. acter which he has secured,lits an honest and con sistent politician, a pludenti and wise statesman, and a most distinguished and talented patriot, not only in the state sshich gavOam birth, but in the whole country—with many: of the most impor tant affairs of which, for mete than thirty years, he has been intimately connected. The talents, the statesmanship, the patriotism of JAMES BUCLIAN•N, are %Veil knoss II both in the United States and in Europe. The prince of Bri tish diplomatists has been t . natle to feel the influ. enceol his powerful mind; aid the administrations of J/CIVION and VAX Brits .it have admitted the potency of his efforts in l[satstaining, the great measures which they aime l d• to establish; chile the records of the countryi , l 'during the List war, furnish indubitable proofs oil his patriotic salon This is the voice of Alltbetly county to her sisters of Pennsylvania: at sci tar as her soi. e may exert an influence the recommendation of her Democracy to thosi' of the Union But Alle,gherty would be sivantMg in courtesy to the balance of the State, if she ikvere to withhold her assent to the will of the majority of the Democrats of Pennsylvania. Her DeMocracy contend for submission to the will of tie majority; and they therefore will be ready, wheis Hie voice of the State shall be heard, to waise their own first choice for the highest office in the talon, if that voice shal I not accord with their own. They love and honor the man of their choice above all others; but this shall not deter them from giving a cordial and efficient support to any other true and tried Demo crat, who may be selected by the State Convention. They do not, however, anticipate such a result. THE ELECTION ON TUESDAY. The result of the City Rdiction on Tuesday is by no means dishearteningrto the Democracy.— Mr. AD•itS, the present incumbent, only leads Dr Kean 7 votes! If Dr. Kirin had received nine additional votes in each wt, be xoull have been elected Mayor. If the vote s of - the City bad been alloned to exercise their ixtvn judgment, Mr. An •ms would have been def ated. by a handsome majority. His friends sverl very vigilant for sev eral days before the election, and made the strong est appeals to the sympathielof the people in his behalf. He was representer i l as being a very poor man—involved in debt ; and another year's salary, it was said, would square hfin with the world. On the other hand, the people here told that Dr. Kann was a wealthy man, and did not care a straw for the office. Arguments andHitories such as these, induced a large number of persons to vote for the re-election of Mr. ADAMi, Vfho really preferred Dr. Kann to that gentleman. Our friends might have secured a majority in the Common Council, by a little additional effort. We have lost four members in the Third Ward, on ac count of scratched tickets.':' This is to be regret ted very much. The Demcicracy have a clear ma jority in that ward—the contest for Mayor fully proves this fact. The Fifth Ward done not.ly, and even exceeded oqr most sanguine expectations. Her demorrocv have covered themoelvea withllory. The Seventh Ward also deserves the highe s t praise. She boa elected two excellent aeMorrats, Messrs. KENT and SII•FTE11. Pittsburgh is becoming more Democratic every year. If our friends contid l ue to persevere, they will eventually gain the as c endancy in the Ci'y Government. LT. COL.S.

The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser says, that nearly a quarter of the m4sage was omitted— much more waa unintelligible and grossly per vetted. Pennsylvania is abeid of New York in tele graphing. Governor Suu4.'s message was sent exclusively to the Gazette, ,Journal, and Post, of this city, and the Bulletin, at Philadelphia, by the same operation, and we bPlieve every , word and figure of the copy made out: at Harrisburgb, was faithfully telegraphed. This is certainly a won derful acb ievempn t. LYCOMING COUNTY.

Resolofd t That we are neither , in favor of sex tending ge restricting the power of the Executite —but believe in sustaining the Constitution as it Resolved, That we consider the present unhappy, stale of Affairs 'iikith Mexico, as chargeable • on, Mexico Alone. The United States could not have avoided war: in justice to hErself and in sustaining. an honorable independence among the civilized nationsof the world. . Rezaloia, That while we admire the indefatiga ble exertions of our worthy President and Cabinet, in striving to bring this war to a speedy and honor rdble close, we cannot, at the same time, refrain. from expressing our disapprobation and contempt for those men, who for party purposes, have abet: ted the cause of their country's enemy, extending to her their sympathy, declaring her cause to'.be . just and holy, and denouncing the United States troops as invaders and assassins. 'We honestly believe, that their treasonable course in this re spect, has been a great means of inspiring •the enemy with confidence, and prolonging the war.

Resolved, That we heartily approve of the In dependent Treasury system, which has so effectu- Idly divorced the government from the Banks, and withdrawn the people's money from the hands of „wealthy merchants and speculating stockholders, "—believing, in the language of Jamas &CHAIM/. that the people's responsible officers are as com petent to take care-of the public revenue, as irre -sponsible banks, over which, neither government nor people have any direct control.

Callan, from the Committee, offered the fol. loveing; Rewired, Thas this convention entertains a jusil t pride in presenting the name of the Hos. JAxzs llcctt-.recto the Democracy of Pennsylvania, for PRESIDENT °, the United States. His character, as a statesman of pre eminent ability is acknowl•. edged and admired throughout the civiliZed Our own national archives, will, in all future time furnish imperishable memorials of liberal and en- lightened gublic policy—of fidelity to the consti tution—of patriotism in defenceof national rights; —of profound learning in the sience of free gov ernment—of uncompromising devotion to the' cause of the people on questions of domestic pot ' icy. His political principles are identified with the doctrines of the J.ll'ersonian school as promul• gated by Madison, Monroe and Jackson. In the halls of Congress, for nearly a quarter of a ceatu ry. the eloquent and fearless advocate of the• Peo ple's mote. In all struggles by the bank aristocra cy to overthrow 'midic liberty, he was in the front ranks of the Democratic party to meet the enemy, i„,44lis report in Senate, on the north eastern boundary question, was unanimously adopted by that august.. body, as an unanswerable argument to the claims, pretensions, and sophistry of the Brifist Minister in relation to the dividing line he tweed the United States and Canada. His public life ii'written upon the brightest pages-of our na tional history. and requires not embellishment from the admiration of political and personal 1 friends. In priva'e life. the friend of our choice, has been i distinguished by blandness, mildness, sincerity and purity. All the elements essential to high and honorable impulses characterize his intercourse with friends and acquaintances. Resolved, That the Convention feel a just pride in the reelection of Governor Strum:, under whose administration fOr the last three years, our State has been most prosperous in every branch ot indus try and enterprise. The State credit has been sus tained .vith all creditors, and the fin snces give as• surance of future ability to meet all demands upon the Treasury. Patriotism, wisdom and prudence have distinguished the administration of Governor Shunk, and his re elertion is but an act of justice to a faithful and efficient public officer. Mr. Kerr, from the same committee, offered the folios ing : Resoletd, That the West is best entitled to the candidate for Canal Commissioner We therefore present from this county, the npme of a sound Pemocrat; C. R. Illness. knowing that his caps city and mural deportment is such, that it gives us pride and pleasure to ask the democrats thro's out the State to confer the nomination on this county, for faithful adherence, on all occasidne, to the principles that best sustain our country. And there is no man more worthy or deserving the confidence of the people, than the gentleman whom we unanimously recommend ; possessing every qualification to make him a valuable and compe tent officer Rirslred, That the amendment offered by Mr. Ashmun, and adopted by the whit majority in Congress, that t• in a war unnecessarily and un constitutionally begun .I.ty the President of the United States, - is a direct and manifest misrepre sentation, which nothing but a malignant heart could conceive. The majority, by sustaining it fully, show their opposition to American princi- ples, in view of their former declarations, to de pride the Army . and Navy of the necessary sup plies. Resolved. Tnat theS I friends of our conntry are in bright contrast to the S 5 enemies of ponulai will, as declared by a former patriotic Congress. The narries and votes of the c4adjutors of Mexico, will be duly remembered, only to be execrated by every lover of America. And especially we would make our acknowledgments to our representative, lion. Moses Hampton, fur his VOTE In sustaining the army, " engaged as they (were) are in defend " ing the rights ane'honor of the nation." We are confident that this vote meets the approval of a majority of his constituents: To prove that fact, wei invite o hig denouncers to call a public meeting, %%here the people can participate. Some discussion followed the reading ofAr Kerr's Resolutions, in which Messrs. Watson, M'Candless, Kerr, and others, participated. The vote was then taken upon the. Preamble and Resolutions offered by the Committee,' and the and the chaii announced them to be carried, unanimously. Co:.
