Those we publish to-day, From Gen. Taylor, though consistent with all he has written on the subject, are neither designed or calculated to present him favorably before a Whig National Convention. The Whig National Conven tion will not need to beg liar a candidate ; nor will its suffrages be tendered to any man who refuses either to accept it • nomination, or " to bn the expo- nent of its principles." Upon this, the New York Earning Pool remarks: We conclude that Gen. Taylor's friend■ can have little hope from the Whigs of this State. That there was, a short time since, a very strong disposition to think of him as a candidate, among some of the most sill New York Whig politicians, there Can be no doubt ; but the paragraph we have quoted is an indication that they arc now looking to another quarter.

The specimen of mal•fonnatinn of which we ore speaking, is a female, and was still-born.

MI who have kind feelings must regret this, though it may indeed be true, that those whom they leave behind are the greatest losers. If there is a heroism in humanity that is holy, it is that displayed by those pure women who leave the gayities and pleasures of the world, and offer themselves a willing sacrifice to thn comfort of the poor and the sick. The man of war is urged into dangers, by an irresistible ambition—a self-love, that heeds not the interests of others,—•ho is led on by flying colors and waving plumes; animated by the rousic,and the shouts of comrades, and the dis ciplined groups in which he moves. But we look in vain for snch motives that impel the " sister' to leave life . anil all its endearments, to the single pur pose of relieving the distresses of poor humanity. This heroism seems to be a feature in the Catho lic Church. It evidences something in ita teachings, its ceremonies and doctrines, that no where else finds a parallel. History, long ages tack, records the devotedness of Christian women ; the alacrity with, which the give up all of earth, in obedience to a gesso of duty and religious obligation. We wish that all sects could boast us much in this behalf as can the Catholics. This, however, prove.: what human nature is; what it might he when called out by true development of passions- -three instincts of the soul which God has implanted within man, as revelators of his will to us. It proves ;hat MI might have a better world," in which a universal henci'iienco would. create a universal brotherhood. 9ss' IVe notice that a Southern paper denounces Pittsburgher for having left without fiettliug his bill.

In this brilliant sign I read my approaching end.” This panic contributed greatly, if we can believe the historians of the,time, to the design Rained by Charles, and which he put in exe cution a few months later, of abdicating in favor of his brother Ferdinand. The famous Halley, the friend of Newton, determined the orbit of this comet, which it has been proved was similar to that followed by a beautiful comet which appeared in 1264. From thence it has been concluded that the' comet of 1556 was a return of the comet of-1264; that this comet employed 292 years in acerinplish ing its revolution round, the sun, and thus it might appear in 1848. It now remains to be seen whether . the comet will contbrm to human provisions or de ceive them ; whether the appearance of identity be a delusion, or the expreasion of a reality.

The sale of spawn for this purpose forms an important branch or trade in China. The Ifshermen collect with care; on the margin and surface, all the gelatinous mat ter that contain spawn of fish, which is then placed in an egg-shell, which has been .fiesh - emptied, through a small Imle t which is then stopped, and the shell is placed under a sitting fowl. In a few days the Chinese break the shell in warm water (warmed by the sun.) The young fish are then 'kept in water unto they are large enongli to be placed in a pond.

The ,Line is progressing rapidly, to Memphis and Nevi 'Orlens. The Kentucky Law, styles it the “Peoples Telegraph Line," and expressly' forbids and com pany from charging higher rates than is charged by the a O'Rielly Western' Telegraph Line," as the Law styles it. The working of this New Orleans,. Line, from Louisville to N'eshville, is under one of the new Telegraph systems which Mr. O'Rielly has secured the right to use, It works admirably. It was invented by MessrP. - :zook and Barnes, chief Telegraphers at Cincinnati. Mr. Zonk was super intendent of the New York and Washington Line.
