Attempted Suicide by a young Lady.—About
half-past eleven o'clock on Monday r.ight, as police
constable %V. '1 hornton, 80 E. divisiun, was on duty
in South-crescent, Bedford-square, ho saw a young
female sitting, with her head in Ler lap, on the step
of the door of No. Y in the above crescent. Think
ing elle was drowsy from intoxication, he raised her
head and endeavoured to arouse her, when he dis
,:overed that she was in a state of _stupor, and held
firmly grasped in her right hand in ounce phial, la
belled, Laudanum. poison." The policeman, as
sisted by a gentleman residing in Crescent, imme;
diately conveyed:her to the North London Hospital,
in Gower-street, and Dr. Taylor, after having applied
the stomach-punip, stared that the contents
: of the
stomach were highly impregnated with opium; Ev
ery means were afterwards employed to counteract
the effects of the poison, but with so little success
that her recovery is considered extremely doubtful.
No papers were found on her person calculated to
lead to the discrivery of her friends; but from the ap
pearance of her dress, which consisted of a black silk
cloak and gown (nearly new,) a red scarfond straw
bonnet, and from the softness of her hands, there is
no doubt that she is very respectably connected.
The young woman, who is rather above the middle
stature, ofslender form, fair complexion, and about
twenty years of age, is enciente.—London Globe.
Abstraction oloir by Blast Furnaces.--The ab

Canine Sagacfly.— A correspondent says A
farmer of my acquiintnnce, while a sprinkling of snow
covered the ground, left his own house on a business
errand to a neighboring village, distant some three
or four miles. Previous to throwing his plait round
his shoulders, he put a pound note in his pocket, to
meet any accidental expense he might be exposed to
at the claChan. Ile tank a near cut across theifields,
and had well nigh reached the end of his journey,
when, on thrusting his hands into his pocket, (as he
had frequently done before to keep them warm,) he
discovered that the pound note was missing. Won
dering at this, he made careful search, including every
fob in the garments lie wore,•and while thus occu
pied he was engeily eyed by his canine attendant—,
a true colly of the shephertHiamccies. He then
commended retracing his steps; iu the hope of finding
the missing article, and hadmo sooner turned to the
right about a hen his dog bolteilla witiiiße speed of
o grey-hound after a hare. 1111ster Colly seemed to
understand the whale mutter, and, before the farmer
had proceeded far; returned and deposited the note at
his feet. He wais of course caressed for his faithful
services; and however great a favourite before, lib
came a greater favourite than ever.—Dumfries

A LEAP YEAR STORY.
?Demo Tat %VESTIor.
'But why don't you get married I said a bouncing
girl, with a laughing eye, to a smooth faced, inno.
cer.t looking youth, who blushed up to the eyes at
the question,
said the youth, stopping, short with a
gasp, and fixing his eyes upon. vacancy with a pure
zled and foolish expression.
• WFll, go on. you' what r said the fair. cross ques
tioner, almost imiercePtibly inclining nearer to the
young man. 'Now just tell me right straight out,
VoU what?'
.Why, 1-0, pshaw, I don't know !'
'You do, I say you do now; come, I want to
know.'
'O, 1 can't tell you'—
'I say you can:- Wby you know I'll never men
tion it, and you may tell me of course, you knovii
for haven't I always been your friend 1'
'Well, you have, I know,' .replie he beleagured
youth.
'And I'm sure I always thought you liked me,'
went on the maiden in tender and mellow accents.
'O, I do, upon word—yes, iv,deed 1 do, Maria,'
said the unsophisticated youth, very warmly, and he
found that Maria bad unconsciously placed.her hand
in his open palm.;
Then there was a silence.
'And then—well, John said Maria, dropping her
eyes to the ground.
oh—well:r said John, dropping his eyes
and Maria's hand at the same moment.
'l'm pretty sure you Jove- aomebody, John. in
fact,' said Maria, assuming again a tone of raillery,
I know you're in love, and John why don't you tell
me all about it at once 1'
'Well, I'— ,
'Well 1. , 0, you silly mortal, what is there to
be afraid of
'O, it aint because I'm afraid of anything at all,
and I'll—well now, Maria, I will tell you.'
'Well now, John.
, E4l'
.v__
am in love !—now don't tell—you wont, will
you 1' said John, violently seizing Maria by the hand
and looking in her face with a most imploring ex-
presston
Why , of course you knOw, John, I'll never breathe
a woad of it—you know I wont, don't you, John l'
This was spoken in a mellow whisper, and the cher
ry lips of Maria was so near John's ear when she
spoke, that had he turned his head to look at her
there might have occurred an exceedingly dangerous
collision.
Well, Maria,' said John, 'l've told you now, and
so you shall know all about it. I have always thought
a great deal of you, and'—
.Yes, John.'
I am sure that you would do anything that you
could'—
'Yes, John, you know I would.'
.Well, I thought so, and you don't know how
long I've wanted to talk to you about if.
.1 declare, John, I—you might have told me long
ago if you wanted, for I'm sure I never was angry
with you in my life.'
'No, you wasn't; and I have often felt a great
mind to, lore—
.lt's not too late now you know, John.'
'Well, Maria, do you think too young to get
married ?'
'lndeed I do not, John ; and I know it would be
a good thing for you, too, for every body says the
sooner young people are married . the better, when
they are prudent and inclii.ed to love one; unoocr.'
That's just what I think ; and now, Maria; I do
want to gi t married, and if you'll just'—,
'lndeed I will, John, for you know I was always
partial to you, and I've said so often behind your
back.'
Well, I declare I've all along thought you might
object, and that the reason I've always been afraid
to ask you.
.Object ! no, I'd dio first you may ask of me just
anything you pleaSe.'
'And you'll grant it r
Then, Maria, I want you to pop the question for
me to Mary Sullivan, [or . — •

'I always thought you was a fool'

your mother wants you! -0, you—you--you stu

and she gave poot John a slap on the cheek that
sent him reeling. It was noonday, and yet John de
clares he saw myriads of ?tars flashing all around
him, more than he ever saw before in the night time.

Thus, alas, how often are the germs of young af.
fection cast away ! For it is but too true, is David
Crockett beautifully expresses it,

A CURIOUS OFFER OF MARRIAGE.
The subjoined matrimonial notification appeared
lately Ili the Munich Journal :
arn the hereditary possessor of a domain and
newly'-built castle, situated in a beautful part of the
Bavarian forests. The castle, which has many fine
spacious apartments, is surrounded with mountains,
lovely meadows and fields, through which rivulets
wind, woods for the hunt, and streams for angling ;
it stands in a charming valley, wherein the town of
Chain, with its many old towers, castles of ancient
knights, and the ruins of the• remotest ages, inspires
the soul with poetical feelings, But, however de
lightful the spot may be to those Who judge of rural
life by the fables of Virgil, Horace, and Delille, I
think it very melancholy to behold none but myself,
in fine rooms, and to see but my own person reflect
ing in my looking glass. I have, therefore, resolved
to marry as other simpletons, add since it is affirmed
that marriages are made in Heaven, and are but a
lottery, to see what Heaven may have m store for
me, and what fair creature the wheel of fortune may
allot Me.
With this view I submit my wishes to all young
ladies through the medium of the newspapers. The
one I Nish to marry must be between sixteen and
twenty years of age: she must have fine hair, fine
teeth, and beautiful little feet. She must be barn of
honest and good parents, and her fame must be spot:
less. She must dress elegantly, hut plainly, in either
silk or velvet, but no other materials. She must not
wear ear-rings, chains, rings, or any silly ornaments
of that description ; neither must she wear slippers,
cops, ribbons, false hair, etc., etc., nor have her dress
made after existing fashions, riothing being so foolish
as to follow other human heings K as cows follow one
another. She must have her. clothes made and
wear them according to her own taste and fancy,
heedless of what the herd of fashionable women may
say about it. She must know or learn how to ride
and drive. She must never knit, that being a mere
manual occupation to conceal stupidity. She shall
be allowed music only if she be perfect in that a , t, it
being tiresome to listen to the had performers who
annoy visitors in so many houses. She shall be a
mistress of the house in all domestic matters, and I
myself shall be happy to yield to her reasonable
whims, being a great enemy to slavish obedience and
submission, whence, thanks to the Church, all quar
rels and discontent derive their origin ; but she must
accompany me in all my journeys and excursions,
because it is in my opinion a shame that a loan
should go shout day and night, living in splendour
at hotels, whilst his wife is left at home alone, a prey
to ennui. She must not, as is the case with most
married couples, forget what becomes female dignity,
and condescend to be the first to coax her husband,
as many a high-minded lady is Compelled to do, in
order to humour her uncouth lord. Whatever I
have expressed by the word it must " is not slavery,
but a contract and convention entered into for her
real welfare. On the day of her marriage she shall
receive 30,000 florins in Russian or Prussian state
bonds, the interest upon which she will, however, he
obliged to spend as may suit her pleas9 . e, no vice
being metre abominable than avarice; By the con
vention She will never be allowed to danCe, because
I will not see my wife frisk about like an idiot. If
she have' propertyof her own, I will not take it from
her on marrying her ; she shall dispose of it as may
suit her, as well as the interest on her jointure ; but
those interests shall not be capitalised on the princi
ple of the avaricious, nothing in this world being
more stupid than to save for other folks. My princi
ples and wisdom consist in the enjoyment of the
pleasures of life in continual good humor.
I must now say something about myself. I am
70 years old, according to the almanack, but only 25,
judging by my health and strength. I am always
cheerful. I seek for pleasure wherever the strictest
honour admits of it. If, therefore, there exist any
where a handsome young girl willing to bustle about
on horse-back, in travelling, or at home with an old
man, still hale, hearty, and active, she may write to
me, and I will go and meet her, to see tier, and let
her see me, any place within a hundred leagues of
Munich, engaging on my word of honor that her
name never shall be uttered.

understood that Daniel Webster has forwarded to the

Senator from that State ; and the opinion seems to
be general that he will be succeeded by Mr. Rufus
Choate. This gentleman is acknowledged by all
parties to be the second man of New England—as
a jurist and as an advocate equalled only by the il
lustrious statesman whose place he is to occupy in
the national councils. Re is not much more than
thirty-five years old, we'believe ; but for several years
he has enjoyed a distinguished reputatiou as an ora

sound judgment with the most brilliant imagination
and readiness in debate.

E. 31 OT A Lti moat 0 eric L.--We have been repeat
edly asked et late what policy *would likely be per
sued by the new administration in reference to re
movals from Office; and our answer has invariably
been that the question was a supeifluous one, inas
much as General Harrison, both in his speeches and
his letters, had expressed himself in the most pointed
manner on the subject. In order, however, to re
move any doubts which may be still entertained by
a portion of the public, we subjoin an extract from
a sp-ech made by Henry Clay in the senate, on Fri
day last. It was elicited by an insinuation from Se
vier, of A rkansas, that the Whigs (dCmocrats) were
to be proscriptive, and to remove (min office without
cause.—Mr. Clay said that he had never conceived
or uttered such a sentiment in all his life, and he held
it as a despicable one. His opinion was that there
Fhould be but one inquiry In regard to officers, Was
the man honest :Was. he capable? Had he dis
charged the duties devolving upon him with fidelity ?
Had he kept aloof from executive interference ? Had
he not prostituted the duties of his office io party pur
poses 1— II a public officer had done none of these
things, lie should be retained in office, and held up
its an exprnple worthy of support.

site and valuable lands now and long since oWncd
by the United States Government, in Chelsea, have
been pointed out as the most suitable site for the Fur-
pose in the Comity of Suffolk. These lands consist
of from seventy to ninety acres, exclusive of flats;
and fur a long d'asance, border no the water—their
shores being constantly washed by the waves of the
upper Harbar and those of Mystic River. They Ire
nearly oppostie the Navy Yard in Charlestown, and
for the present contain but two or three buildings—
one of which is occupied as a Naval Hospitab—the
Marine Hospital in Chelsea bring situated in soother
part of the town. Ist case it should be determined to
locate the Steam Shipyard above Chelsea Bridge, the
draw of that bridge is to be widened ; and in cake
such Yard should be located so that the Steamers
may be launched at once into the bay, the flats, fromi
the old ferry.ways to the bridge will be,rsold to the
United States.
AO 9.
At first, it was supposed, that the Navy Yard in
Charlestown would answer; but it is understood
that althouch extensive enough for the dry dock,
the barracks; the cable factories, store• houses, and
for the parade grounds, wharves, ship houses, shops
and other public buthlinp,s now in thut yard, yet it
s not, by any means, large enough to allow the Gov
ernment to establish, in addition to all ;hose, the nu
merous structures, and enclosures, indispensably ne
cessary for conducting, upon a great scale, a Miliaria!
Foundry, and an . ample and thoroughly appointed
yard for the construction and repair of Marine En
gines and steam ships of war.
Should this project be carried into execution, as
there are strong reasons to believe it will be, as many
Steamships for the Navy Rill probably bo built in
Boston Harbor, as in any other part ortho Union.

late at night, strolls Carelessly home, goes whistling
up stairs, and is met at the top by hid •dear spouse;
who combs his head and brandishes a broomstick
and uses her voice actively,.that is love in the active
voice. When a pretty girl takes a kiss with perfect
composure, and looks as if she wouldn't care if she
took two or three more, that is passive love.
FACT.-A black fellow lately slipped fell,
while running before an engine on the rail track,and
the whole train passed over him: As soon as the

lustily—.Eh ! locomoky can't kill dis nigger.'

/PONATAIITE . B CFLECRATFD CIIArGE IN THE STREETS .
rF Psi - rm.—lt was now about midday, and the
heads. ot the insurgent columns began to 'deploy in
front of St. foci, near the western end of the Roo
St. licnore, one of the longest weds in Paris.
Nearly opposite that edifice is the nett ow and short
street called the nue du Dauphin, aril the same
street they had cietermined to proceed, nut wetting,
or making small account of, Napoleon, the lion (ter
rible though young ) lying in watt in their path.
There was no parley on either side; the regulars
stood still, but ready for instant action. The artil
lcurs, seemingly rigid us statues, but with burning
mat ales ready for instant use, kept their eyes, fixed
on Napoleon, who stood at their head apparently
impassive, with his peculiar complexion us dearly
pale as monumental marble, his classic features
hardly less rigid in outward scerning.--The FCC..
ti.maires for a short space made a dead bait also,
waiting the order of their commander to advance:
The pause, however,was brief, and the instant the
fatal words "En avant 1 ." had passed the foremast
sectionary officer's lips, and as soon es u forward
movement was made in obedience to the command,
a most terrific hail storm of --grapeshot burst forth
at once upon them from the cannon, as it' from the
mouth of a fire breathing volcano. A very few mo
ments served to make terrificliavoe among their
dense masses. Eaeh several field-piece, placed
with a most .learned spirit by a hand fresh from
Toulon practice, played with most niarvelluos effect.
Every, shot told—not a particle of powder scorned
to be thrown away. The combat, re fact, was well
nigh finished, almost before it could be said to have
begun. One fatal rush was made by the panic.
stricken seetionaires—those who were nearest into
he contiguous church ofSt. Roch. Its sacredwalls
proved no sanctuary to them. Cannon, skilfully
planted in the Rue du Dauphin, raked its nave and
aisle right and left ; and the pavement soon flowed
with their gore. Few, very few, Who there tcok
refuge, escaped with life. Incontinent the Rue St.
Ann behind, and neighboring streets, were encum
bered—choked—with fugitives; jostling. pressing,
bearing each other down in their kanic. All tho
while, nevertheless, the main body @ the sectiona—
ries, still kept advancing from the eastward, help
lessly pressing on, no doubt, from behind; and, as
sum-as its battalions arrived as surely met the same
fate that had already befallen the van. This could
not last long ; in fact, the whole affair did not eccer
py half an hour from beginning to ercl. Our infor
mant visited the'scene of week and murder the
same evening. Scarce one palm of glass remained
whole in any of the surrounding houses—such had
ken the terrible concussion ot the artillery dis
charged in quick succession injso pent• up a neigh
borhood. The whole place (to use his own words)
could only be compared to an immense Asusherie or
slaughter house; the piles of .dead lied not boon, as
yet, sorted' and very few bodies removed—tbeylay
about in hundreds. Most of the doors of the she?*
and houses had been forced in, many literally smash
ed—oh it was a scene of 'awful desolation: No
wonder Bonaparte, -even in his palmitet days. was
scarcely ever acceptable to the majority of thlebouP4
geois.' or ;trading classes of Paris. They had foot
ishly left their counters to take up the musket,.
