and became acquainted-With Mrs. George. Ile en
tertained no suspicion of him until the day. before,
when, unhappily, he had.too much reason for doing
so. On that day -he - (Mr. George) went to Wolver
hampton.on business, and on his return at night, he_
found that his wife had absconded, and his hourte
•had been plundered of a good portion of his furniture
and about fifty pounds in cash. On making inquiries
he found that Wall was also missing, and Mrs. Wall
in a "state of distraction about her child, which the
prisoners had taken with them. In consequence of
some hints he received, he sent after the prisciners to
Hampton, and there they were found, and' a good
portion of the property with them, except the money.
Mm. Wall said, that the evening before Mrs. George
came • to her house and told her that she was going
to s d the evening with a 'Mrs. Lewis, a :school

baby (about fourteen months old) with her. Not

t.i elope, but it appeared Wall wt uld 'not go without
the chill, and Mrs George. adopted the stratagem to
get it. Mr. Gem said he would advise Mr. George
to take pos•-ession of his property and let Mrs. G.
take, her own course. 'Mrs. George said the fifty,
pounds was her own property, which bad been left
to her. Wall was then searched, and between two
and three pounds were found upon him, whit h was
handed over to Mr. George. Mrs. George next un
derwent search. but 410 money was found upon her:
but she acknowledged there was some in a box at
the railway station, and she was taken there for the
purpose of pointing out the box. Mrs. Wall took
possession of her child, and her unfaithful fraction

The Earl of Radnor's Opinion on the Corn-
Laws.-.-A tenant of the Earl of Radnor has sent us
the following communication. lie r ays it must be
highly gratifying to all liberal minds to see such
sentiments imbibed by a man in so high a station,
and communicated for the purpose of doing good to
the poor. His lordship says—. 4 am very desirous
that my opinion should be known that the corn-laws
ale injurious to all classes—to the agriculturists as
well as to the manufacturers—to the yeomen and to
the landlords, too, as well as the laborers. I have
no doubt- whatever on this subject that they injure
every interest gnil every class, and benefit no one,
excepting now and then a gambler or a shiewd ape:
culator ; end I shall be always ready to give whelp
ing hand to their repeal."—(Wiltshire Independl.
Iron Wurks.—The manufacture of iron is advan

Somersetshire, where extensive mills, ponderous
tilting hammers, and vast smelting furnaces, have
been for some time past erecting, and are now near.
ly completed. The quality of the ore raised in the
Brendon-hill has been well tested, and found to be
very superior ; one of the large manufacturing hou
ses at Sheffield, it is said, has taken off the entire
quantity on hand, and contracted for the purchase of
all that may be made in the next twelve months. A
new method of smelting has been adopted at these
works, from the patent of Mr. Sanderson, of Shef
field, the process of which is highly advantageous,
from the celerity and economy combined in the ope
ration.--(Tautiton Courier.
Skating on the Thames.—So intense has been the
frost during the past week, that part of the Thames
called Culham Reach, close to this town (Reading)

dertaking of the viaduct on the Manchester and Bir
mingham Railway was brought to completion, when
Thomas Ashton, Esq., the chairman of the board of
directors, performed the ceremony of laying the last
stone. Many thousand spectators were assembled
to witness the interesting scene. The work itself is
almost beyond the power of words to describe.
No Promotions.—lt is now said that no creations
or proinotions will take place on ocaisioU of the
christening of the Princess Royal.
Rumpred.—lt is rumored that Lord Hill is atout
to retire from the Horse Guards, in consequence of
ill health.
Splendid Christening.—The most splendid royal
christening upon record is that of Henry the Sixth's
only son, Edward; it took place in Westminster
Abbey. and the mantle in which the babe was re
ceived after the immersion cost a sum equal to six
thousand pounds of modern money, being embroid

John FrOst.—The Liverpool correspondent of the
London Standard asserts, on the authority of pri
vate letters and newspapers from Sydney, that John
Frost, the Chattist. who was convicted of high trea

commuted to transportation for life, in consequence
of an informality in the trial, has, since his arrival at

bestowed upon him. . '

now at home for the first unto after leaving it as a!
bride, and who sat smtling ! at. the colloquy.
• I had intended, Clara,' said Edward, •to invite
my friend, William Benson, to visit me this summer,
but am now induced to chmge my mind.'

Clam lai)krti a little confused:---You knots I
wouldn't mind that in your triend though.'
Notwithstanding, I shall not submit him to your
condescension, ' returned Edward, as lie hft her.
The next evening Clara and her sister were sit
ting together in the parlor,—
' In dusk, ere stars were lit, or candles brought;'
the latter looking musingly upon the twilight, and
the former thdughtlessly twanging her guitar. .1 II

said she; .1 know you aro thinking about Henry,
an't you
As she spoke, Edward ushered a gentleman into
the room, introducing---mty sisters, Mrs. Untidy
and Miss Calvert,—my friend, Mr. Demijohn.'
Clara sat for a moment as if thunderstruck, and
then gave a nudge of unmistakable import to Ger
trude, who with her usual lady-like composure bad
commenced addressing the stranger. .1 wonder what
he can look like;' thought she; .his voice at all
events, does not sound :as if it came out of a demi
john.' It was a very melodious, and his reply to her
sister particularly graceful, yet still she feared to
speak, lest a word might bring her ill-suppressed
laugh altogether out with it.
At length the lamps were lighted and Clara eager
ly surveyed the-visitor. He was whst her young la
dy friends would have pronounced .decidedly a very
excellent looking fellow; a Phrase of course too hack
neyed to be taken up by her frOdious lips. His
features were remarkably handsome, and wore an
expression which proved the bumps of mirth conspic
uous on his well developed forehead by no means
misplaced, and which could not fail to be attractive
to a damsel so vivacious as the one engaged in the
scrutiny.
The conversation of the visitor was so fascinating
that Clam's risibility soon yielded to it, and before
an hour, six caught herself wishing from the bottom
of her heart that there should have been cause eo
just to give it rise. 'Poor man! how much he is to
be pitied !' she said to herself, •with conceptions end
sensibilities such as he must huve, to talk as he does,
bow well he must be aware of the ludicrousness' of
his tiame,,and how keenly he must feel it!' end
when he had taken leave fur the night, her compas
sion would not allow her finish the jest she had
thought it necessary to attempt at his expense.
The gentleman called again the next morning..and
Clara was yet more pleased with him by day tight
than she had been the evening before, and by no
means dissatisfied when her brother told her that he
had invited his friend to pass a few days in the fam
ily. 'He is a very interesting man,' said she, and
she•fell into a deep study. A ray Of hope shot across
her mind. Perhaps his first name might be more a
greeable.- She questioned Edward accordingly.
Name again !' returned he, raising his fingei.
I I ain sure I have on excuse for it now,' replied
Clara, almost seriously.
Well, here is his card.
Clara snatched , it eagerly ; 4.loirs M. Dsm-aease

Edward and Gertrude both smiled.
Mr, D—, for so Clara errangaZ his name in her
reveries, goon became domesticated among them.
Edward, a competent judge in matters of that kind,
held his talents and attainments - in high cairn' mien,
Gertrude believed him to be as superior in character
as intellect, and Clara' herself thought him the most
polished gentleman she had ever Seen. He "amnia-,

tainly not -be the care if he remained much longei

Dear Edward, for pity's sake, don't jest now!'
I have no uljection to believe you, but there are

brother, beckoning through a window to his guest,
who immediately joined them; 'and first of all, Ben

yourselves, however, and in half on hour or so I will
be in again to hear your conclusion.
A 'week or two diet, Gertrude received a letter from
Edward, of which a passage rin thus: And lastly.

Toiscco AN u Bar.Ansxt - ves.---At a meeting of the
Tobacco Planters, of Diowiddie co.:Va., the follow
ing resolution was passed That while in a spir
it of peace we Gave submitted to the odious and mo
nopolizing Corn Laces of England. we utterly repu
diate, as revolting to our sense of justice, of the idea
of a longer submission to the enormous and oppres.
sive duties now imposed upon our Tbbacco."
The Pittsburg Advocate respecting the above res•
elution says :-4t strikes us that this is as good an
exemplification of southern feeling for northern inter
ests as can any where be met with. Our very chiv.
alrous neighbors are willing to submit to the bread
stuffs of the north being excluded from Great Brit
ain, kit they utterly repudiate the idea of a longer
submission to the enormous duty, now imposed on
Tobacco :---•.the most valued staple" to use their
own language, ".of nearly two millions of American
freemen." It never entered into, the calculation of
there patriots to consider of how many millions of
freemen breadstuffs forms the omost valued staple."
or bow their interests are affected by "those odious
and monopolizing Laws of England," to which they
appear willing to submit. provided they can obtain a
reduction of the dunes on Tobacco. There is some
thing exceedingly ridiculous about this gasconiding
shalt tobacco by men who are willing to see the
whole manufacturing and agricultural interests of
the north sacrificed to the "odious and monopolizing
laws of England." We care not how soon the
countervailing duties which the tobacco planters de
sire are imposed, but in the name of all that is just
and reasonable, we must protest against the "most'
valued staple" of the north being excluded from the
benefits of any new modification of our Tariff.
ABUSE OS TUE PARDONING POWER.-10 the last
number of the Miners' Journal we expressed our
views pretty freely of Governor Potter's course id
relation to the pardoning in advance, of the infam-j
out editors of that infamous paper. the Magician, in
dicted for libel. • This case of flagrant and grosi
abase of the pardoning power is thus noticed in the
N. Y. Express:— '
The Harrisburg. Pennsylvania, Intelligencer con
runts with deserved, severity , upon .what it calls
"the unwarrantable use of Prerogative" by the Gov
crew of Pennsylvania, in leranting a pardon to
Messrs. Hotter & Cantine, Editors of a paper pub
lished at Harrisburg. called "the Magician," who
had grossly libelled Thaddeus Steven., Esq. and the
Adams County Tippecanoe Chit% whom it charged
with having administered a political sacrament, (a
sort of mock communion) to those 'who, ware flocking
tothe standard.nf Harrison and Reform' . For this
falsehood and 'libel, Mr. Stevens commenced suit
against the Editors, and when. en the 25th ult. the
case was called for trial, the accused- stepped for.
ward **with a PARDON from Mei Governor for the (of
face committed." This pardon..,it !appears. was
grantee before a trial was bad. Or a conviction ob.

Tax Snieninifs'Doo.=.A shepherd who inhah.
ited one of those valleys or giena which intersect the
Grampian mountains, in one of excursions to
look after his flcrCk. happened to 'Carry along with
him one of his children, an infant of three years old.
This is not an unusual practice among the High
landers, who acctraturn their children from . "infancy
to endure the rigiirs of the climate. After trat4ising
his pastures for some time, 'attended by his'ilog, the
shepherd fourr'd himself under the necessity of as
cending a summit at some distance,-to have a moia
extensive view of his range. As the ascent was too
fatiguing for the. child he lell'him on a small plain
at the bottom, with strict injunctions not to stir front
it till his'return. Scarcely, however, had he gained
the„stirtimit, when the horizon was darkened by one
_of'those impenetrable mists whichfrequently descend
'so rapidly amidst. hesomountains. as, in the space
of a leer minutcsolmost to turn day to night. The
anxious father haitened instar r tly back to fi nd his
child; but owing o the unusual darkness, and hie
own trepidation, Unfortunately missed his way in the
descent. After a . fruitless search of many hours, he
discovered that fiehad reached the bottom of the val
ley, and was near: his own co tage. To renew the
search that night ,was equally fruitless and danger
ous; he waslherefore compelled to go home, altho'
he had lost both his child and hisdog, who had at
tended him faithfUlly fur many years. Next morn
ing, by break of day, the shepherd, accompanied by
a band of his neighbors, set out lin search of Lie child ;
but, after a day spent in fruitless fatigue, he was at
last'conmelled, by the approach of night, to descend
from the mountain. Oa his returning home to his
cottage, he fount( that the dog, which he had lust
the day before, had been home; and on receiving 3
piece of cake, had instantly gone off again. Fur se
veral - successive days the shepherd renewed his
search for his child, and still. on returning home dis
appointed in the evening. be found that the uog had
been hoine, and on receiving his usual allowance of
cake-, had instantly disappeared. Struck with this
singular circumstance. he remained nt home one day,
and when the dog as usual deputed with his piece
of cake, he resolved to follow him, and find out the
cause of this strange procedure. The dog led the
way to a cataract at some distance from the spot
where the shepherd bad left his child. The banks
of the cataract almost joined at the top, yet, separa
ted by an abyss otimmense depth, presented that ap
pearance which so often astonishes and appals the
travellers that frequent the Grampian mountains.—
Down one of those rugged and almost perpendicular
descents, the dog began. without hesitation, to make
his way, and at last disappeared by entering into a
cave, the mouth of whi h was almost level with the
c w
torrent. :The shepherd WI difficulty followed; but
on entering the cave, wha ete his emotions when
he beheld his infant eating ith much satisfaction
the cake which the dog had just brought him ; while
the b e lithful animal idond by, eyeing his young charge
with the, utmost cOmplaisance ! From the situation
in which'the child was found, it appeared that he
had wandered to the brink olthe precipice; and then
either fallen or scrambles' down till he reached the
cave. The dog, by means of Iris soma, had traced
him to the spa t; and aftern aids prevented him from
starving ly iving up to him his own daily allow
ance of food. \
GIN. HAnnrsoir IN BALTINOILE.—GeneraI Har
rison arrived in Baltimore on Saturday last. The
Patriot says:—
The President elect arrived in this city on Satur
day afternoon, in the cars from Frederick. He
reached the. Relay; House, about eight miles from
did city, about 2 cr7elock, where he was met by the
Committee of Reception. fie was addressed by T.
Ya , es Walsh, Esq., and welcomed to the hospitali
ties of the city, And made a pertinent and eloquent
response.---He was then placed in a carriage, and es.
carted into the city by an immense body of citizens,
in carriages and on horseback. At the line of the
city, he,was met by the Tippecanoe Clubs, and a
large concourse of citizens. and was tranefered to
an open batouche,:drawn by four white horses, and
the procCssion marched by the route laid down, o
his quarters at the City Hotel. '
Through all the,streets he passe.] he was cheered
by the Mix, no ahie filled the side walko, and the
ladies a Ito crowded rho windows, waved their hand
kerchief's. On turning. into Calvet street ; the crowd
became no dense, that it v as with difficulty that the
carriages which tollowed in the train could pass
through. All the large area from Fayette to Mar
ket street, was crowded, and the throng extended
down Fayette and Monument square, and up Fay
ette street.
When the Tippecanoe Clubs, had pressed their
way to the front of the Hotel, and quiet restored,
Gen. Harrison appeared on a Stand erected at the
corner of the Hotel and -was received with great
cheering. He then made a sheirt speech to the pea
File, expressing his regret that fatigue and want of
rest; forbade his making a morp extended address,
but said that on Monday ho would take occasion to
enter more fully into the questions which now agi
tate the public mind, and on which he will sem be
called td act, in a high official character. He then
took his leave, and again the‘ people sent op three
cheers feir him.
We tire gratified to find that Cen. liarrishn,
though much fatigued, is in the enjoyment of excel
lent health—and that a few days rest will restore
him to all his wonted vigor. I We cannot forbear
noticing that though for new- ready two weeks he
has passed through much fatigue. and has repeated.
Iv addressed large bodies of his I'. How citizens, his
voice at Ins speech, at the Hotel on Saturday, was
clear and sonorous, and it was lie suljeetot remark
that it was heard with wonde distinctness gayer
the greater part of the large a sembly.

WELLINGTON ON era Lsos.—His style - of speak.
Nog is what may be expected from his character—.
plain, simple, straightforward. His sentences are
short and pithy, his languagoclear and lucid, his de.
livery abrupt. When he makes a point, it fairs on
the mind with the force of a sledgehammer. His
voice reminds one of that of an - officer giving the
word of command ; ho lays emphasis. short and
somewhat harsh, en the leading word or Words of
of the sentence, and speaks the rest id an undertone;
The arts and tricks of an orator he wholly disdains.
They are foreign to the genius of his mind. They
would be out of place in his speeches, who depend
for their interest and their value upon their aimpli.
city—their truthfulness—and their donnoon aerate.
For the same sufficient reason, he never attempts
to Impose on the house a fictitious enthusiasm or
a pretended excitement. If the Duke of Wellington
gets excited—and he will sometimes get into a ter
rible passion at, any infringement of constitutional
integrity or breach of.discipline—rtbere is no mistak
ing it for a prepared climax to a speech; hi is com
pletely possessed by the demon. The only action he
aver uses is on such occasions, and then it is almost
convulsive. His arms and legs seem no longer to
be under control—they quiver, and shake, and trem•
ble ; and the clenched fist violently and frequently
struck upon the table, denotes that some very patent
feeling of indignation is, for the time: mastering the
usual calmness of this seMpossesied man. , •
COMISG To THE POINTo—At a recent Dinner
given by Sit John Maxwell ,to his tenants, somewhere
in the Ninth of England, he delivered the following
cool and extraordinary exposition of his views of the
obligations of tenants to make 'their„political opin
ions, or at leait their votes, square with their land
lord's wishes. Although, according to our Berne
erotic notions,- his logic is not very convincing, we
cannot but admire Sir Williams' mode of coming di•
rectly to the point, No beating the devil round the
stump—but out it comes, blunt and John Bull like
"If they could not go along with him in politin

he was changed on this subject; trt- this was not P
the case; and he would just give them an example
of the force and truth of his opinions. There .were
a good many persona who were owners 'of vessels •
belonging to Portwilliam, and .he would suppose
that one who held the largest share of a vessel was
by some means to be excluded from. 'the manage.

on the same principle be would Say.uias bh to have
no voice in the'voles of the tenants of his estate,
where he certainly bad the largest share and inter,
est? Unquestionably the tenants ought to consult
him, for he supposed his views and opinions to be •
for the good of the country." .1 •••• •
In other word,. "Surely, the. hut should ken
