AUGUST 25, 1857. fcROWNER’S QUEST LAW, A tragic drama, which, occurred in New York on Friday, has already proceeded to tho closo of Act 11. In the bar-room of a dining saloon in Broadway, an amateur actor hap pened to moot a Tombs lawyer, (of tho spe cies vulgarly called Shyster,), and tho result was a quarrel. The lawyer, a powerful man, struck the actor, who, as tho report states, “ drew a revolver and tired twice in quick suer cession,” at his opponent. The first ball hit the man’s arm, and passed 1 into the breast, in juring tho lungs. The second ball passed through the mouth, and upwards through the head, a part of which was shot off. Tho vie, tim fell to tho floor—a corpse. Tho actor fled, but, soon after, gave himself up. A jury was empauneled, and it was proved that the lawyer had first struck the actor. Tho jury retired for an hour and a half, and returned a verdict, simply stating tho fact that one man “ came to his death by a pistol-shot, fired” by the othor. Tho jury were then discharged with the thanks of tho coroner. ‘ All this time the actor was in custody. His was now brought Into the room, and tho co]- roner addressed him as follows: I “Thejury in this cose hare rendered the fol lowing verdict.” (Heads it and continues.) “From the testimony which is given in this oase, it leaves the matter open, and rshatl, therefore, disoh&rge you upon my ourn responsibility. The oa3o is not • one, in my opinion, whioh could warrant mo to hold you. It is dearly a osse of self-defonce. I shall, however, hand the paper over to tho, grand jury for their future action. You are discharged, sir.” . The actor’s friends gathered around him and congratulated him on bis escape. “Ho seemed much gratified at his release” [hot a little sur prised, too, no doubt,] and came forward an|t shook 'hands with the, coroner, thanking liihi at the same time, for thepatience which he anjl the jury had evinced in the investigation.!’ . The report does not add that the party ad journed to have a friendly drink together,bvjt it isprobable that they did. | ' In thia case it must be observed that the jury gave a verdict of “Manslaughter.'’ Jt ahld hpvwqrd ahoift the man-shooting being ,“clearly, w -case of self-defence,?’ That was 'after , t he jury had’.been discharged and their functions ended. Now, a coroner is ex-officio a magistrate, with power to commit persons oven suspected of guilt. Hero, it is not mere suspicion—it is fact . Tho body of tlio slaughtered victim was itself tho accusing wit ness of tho crime. It bore two wounds—“ tho least a death to nature.” Tho jury, <jn their oaths, had declared that the man who fired the pistol shots bad done the bloody deed. What was the coroner’s action? He had tho prisoner brought in, and road thpt verdict to him. By that time, no doubt, in tho re-action of tho prisoner’s mind, Con science was at work within his bosom. No doubt, also, when 4 ho heard this verdict of “Manslaughter,” his heart throbbed with joy. In the eye of tho law (“Crowner’s qudst law”) he was not denounced as a murderer, with the scaffold in perspective. ,No doubt, too, he began to calculate his chances of boiiig able to procure bail—small chances, it may l)e, if tho newspapor report be true when it said of him and his victim, “ They were woll known about the ton'll. They moved among flic crowd, both male and female, generally denominated as fast,” Ho might doubt which of his tViends “ in tho crowd” wero sufficiently solvent to be accepted as ball. And then, the coroner hav ing informed him what tho damnatory, verdict vtasj proceeded to say that the testimony left the matter open, aftor the jury had thus solemn ly decided on it! “I shall,therefore,discharge you upon my own responsibility. Tho case, is notone, in my opinion, .which could warrant me to hold you; it is clearly a case of self-de fence.” So thought tho coroner. So, it is evident, did not think the jury. Had they formed this opinion of the . testimony, they, would, have, added to the verdict that the said death-sfiots had been fired in self-defence. The coroner, how ever, virtually supersedes the verdict and dis charges the prisoner, promising to hand tlio papers over to the Grand Jury. Wo do not ask any lawyer, but we ask any man of plain and practical common sense, whether this action of tho coroner does not amount, at least, to an error of judgment? We are very chary in imputing wrong motives to any ono, especially to a .publio officer, and only beg to express a doubt whether this amiable coroner is quite a .Solomon. , j , Nor is this all. The coroner is a magistrate. The laws of New York Stele expressly declare it illegal for any man to carry about his persbn dangerous weapons of offence. The prisoner, even supposing that bo had killed his man only in self-defence, had violated the law by being secretly armed with a loaded revolver— doubly loaded, too, for he fired two shots with it “in quick succession.” It appears do us that it was the coroner’s duty, as a magistrate, to. have detained this deadly-weapon carrier, and required him to put in hail to answer the charge of having violated the laws of the State. There have been too numerous in stances of homicide of late, not in New York alone, but in many other places—all eaused by the shcret possession, on the person, of lethal weapons, so ready for instant action that the hand can immediately obey the bidding of im pulsive passion, and—without thought, with out deliberation, almost without intent or ma lice—destroy the life of a fellow-creaturo. So in Italy and Spain, the inhabitants of which are “Children of the sun, with whom reyengo is , virtue,” tne knife, the stiletto, is resdy at hand, and assassination is frequent.' Better than this, surely, is the less hurtful habit practised in England, (and daintily abused for its “bru tality,” in this country,) of settling a dispute by a fair battle with the flats, and ending it, when the beat man wins, by shaking hands. Thin subject of carrying bowie-knives and re volvers is too fruitful and suggestive to be hastily discussed here, at this moment. It is important, becauseit involves the lives of our fellow-creatures arid the very Character of tho country itself. b 'it'nlay be ; notlcod that we have carefully Avoided giving the .name of the actor who 'figures aa the unfortunate .hcrooi. this sad a.

The following article comes to us ftbtu a, woman whose own lifte is tho very best com mentary upon the text of her. discourse^;/She has earned the fight to be heard and regarded ;, for sho lias added to the heroism of enduring the customary disabilities of hor endeavor to overcome them, in a spirit re-! markable for its considerate moderation. j'SJtpJ makes an appeal to, the,democratic principle) for relief, and that principle In powCff hqverf yet turned a deaf ear to jtho demand of-'tljjht.; Men in the pride of place may scorn it, but it' has over been a city.of r e toga for tjsh oppressed.; Pennsylvania has been among tho earliest oCtho States to legislate justly tor the-iftghts-of women in tho,matter of property to which can be secured to them witiiQ'ut'opemng the door to fraud and contusion of rights, remedies. Only in respect to the joint earn-) iugs of husband and wifq, and the' separate camipgs of tho mafrlod woman, .has.tho State failed to provide a protectlbnjpt. tho wife’s rights, and this is a matter of aUCtrfUfficuUy in practice that wo can see as yetbo, Safe and Cer tain policy for accomplishing complete jusfoe. Wo do not boast of our progreSßiye'npss.hut wo do endeavor to do justice, to tho very verge of safe experiment; and as we liavs so littto oi the old-time tyrannies in our civil eddo'to bet proach ourselves with; wo can afford to listen patiently to temperate expostulation, r Ourpeople arc prudent and cautious, because they are practical; but stiil, if any, qne. ean find a hole in our coat, wo aro ready to soeund mend it. We are neither s;> bad, nor -fliinh ourselves so good, that wo cannot, listen tore monstrance; nor aro we afraid to bear'bur faults, as if wo were unable or unwilling to correct them.. Especially is the grgeo of kind and respectful consideration duo to, the claims of women, for whom we legislate'' without allowing them tho right of lrtstJjictiop)r or holding ourselves responsible to them through tho ballot-box. . When women , defiantly organize themselves against us, they must rely upon such power as they- have : for their success; but when they appeal to us, the whole state of the case is changed) then wo owe it. to our own manliness, to justlfcd and right, to do whatever wo may be is our duty. , I If women were fairly and', fully protected from all tho oivil and social wrongs for which men are responsible, we know that they would never complain of their exclusion) pr eiotap tion as we prefer to say, from the .exercise of political power. Therefore, let the lady hi heard for whatever of foal worth-and force there may be in what sho has to say, which, indeed, they should not ask, and which cer tainly will never bp-granted, opposed as it is by so many social and pollticaV obstaclesfand especially by that sense of delicacy and refine ment which isthe characteristic. jbf the gentle Bex.— Ed. Peess. It; 1 . .Healthful activity is a law of ble restlessness in an indicstionof jjssaSe. When there is a toil play of all the powbps, whep action and repose duly.relieve.eaoh qffioa,vju-ii ej;tertml Tuictiergfosof life, it is well witffthe Individual; and well with sooioty; butinaetionand spasmodic' Impulses, perpetual self-oonsoioueness and self-in vestigation,’ dissatisfaction with daily duties, and strife for unattainable objects, prove individual unbealthiness or social error. ‘ Judging by this plain rale, there is evidently a wrong in tho condition of women. Their povttjcm is a subject constantly forcing itself upon oar at tention as something to bo considered and amended; and the freer our state of society beoomos, the more distinctly those complaints are uttered. In the far East, under Mahemmedan rule, wo hoar no voice diroot from the women, hut wrong is just as dearly indicated in the general acknow ledgment of the wickeduess oftho sex. “ I stood at the gate of Hell,” says the Prophet, “andlo! mostof its inmates were women.” “Con sult thorn;” says another, “ and do the contrary of what they advise.” “ Women are deficient in sonso and religion” is ono of the common proverbs. Europe furnishes usstrikingexamplesof feminine discontent. In Germany the Emancipirto Frauen aro Bpokcn of in whispers by womon, and tvith sneers by men. Yet thoro thoy are, & large class under violent protest, who will smoke, wear masculine habiliments, will go about whore they ploaso, and sneer in their turn at the restraints submitted to by their more peaooful sisters. In England tho fordo of rldioulo is brought to bear upon tho rebels; tho caricature of the Hen chartists, which oonvulsod John Bull with a broad grin, proved a potont woapon against the aspiring petticoats.' But'tho expression only cun bechocked, Ihe'iliscont-ont remains, and breaks out from time to time, id tho most unexpooted quarters. Horc, however, in America, whoro women aro troated with tho utmost deference, hero where the state of society is indubitably freer than In any country tho sun over shone Upon—hero arises the most gonoral expressions of discontent, and here, for tho first time, tho discontent shapes itself in a form that for numbors and oharaotor may bo called a party. , Now, that there in solnottiing wrong in a state of things that will permit of so much diaauasion aid dissatisfaction, is cloarly evident. To find out tio exact nature of tho evil may not bo so easy. 411 theories on ono slde or the other in relation to the position of women will be most likely to mislead us. To settle just what a human being ought to do, we must first know what ho is capable of, not only at present, but in the possibilities of tho fu ture; and that is what no human being oan judge of for another, muoh loss for a oiass. It is of no use to say that men and women are differently constituted, therefore thoir work is different; and then proceed to ! plan out their separate lives—tho plan cannot bo worked out from any aueh proposi tion* Wo grant tho dlfforonoo, but there wo must stop. We cannot dogmatise upon,that we eon only learn from it as-its results unfold themselves year by year. 1 As function oannot be inforrod from structure, go destiny cannot he deduced from funotion. No hti* man being was ever wise onougb to pronounce such judgment, for’ tho reason that U requires a know* ledge of cause and effeot, oh acquaintance with exlstenoe in its most intimate relations, and a full comprehension of tho destiny of humanity—know* lodge which no one over yet reached to, and whic|i is rendered impossible, by that gradualncss 0? growth in knowledge, whioh is a law of our na ture. Wo judge of truth by fragments. The highest truth disoovoredby one age has always been over shadowed by the higher truth of a succeeding ago. We never have, and, unless our nature is changed,, we never shall acquire that complete knowledge whioh alone can enable us to fix the destiny of any human being. We run great risk by theorising on human life, and attempting to act on these theories, of violating one great principle of our nature, whioh should be the basis of all human relations, viz: the prinoi* plo of justice. - Each human being must determine bis own des tiny, helped or hindered by the conditions under whioh ho grows. It is our duty as members and guardians of a free society, to see that the natural rights of every individual constituting this society, aro guarantied by our laws; and that the condi tions of growth, viz: means of instruction, opportu nity of employment, acknowledgment oftnorit, aro insured by the customs of society. This is alt that the State eon he expected to do for its members—give freedom and opnortunity, amd let each individual provehis own ability. This inll that women oan ask, and this they .ought to *ve. Lot us seo if they have any just cause of oomplaint in relation to the laws or customs of our country. * Do the laws of the laud secure to women the ex* excise of all natural rights? In answering this question, we must atonce make a broad distinction between married andslnglo women. AYith oh'C' the law places men a4dsingle^yroihep‘ ; nnthfersathe footing.'

Of this the statement of Jefferson may betaken for the authoritative formula, “Civil gov ernment derives Its just powers from the consent of the goveried. 1 ’ Now. it Is not at all apparent that any condition or circuuijlance, conneotod wlth the 'elective fran chise, lies against its exercise by single women, whatover'of policy, or propriety, or' temporary ne cessity may operate against thomufrled. .. But tho municipal-laws depend ’'’absolutely ujhwi public opinion to- this country.' ‘l,Ol PS therefore consider the ntore immodijito, unquestionable, end important 'bearing whioh the oifstdms,'usages, and influential sentiment of sooioty exert upon the con ditlon'bf ivom'on. i> ,1 : . ■■ ,! vd - •.

The result of this wider industrial Ilfo is seoh in greater thoroughness of education, earnest ness of purpose, and individuality of oharooter. .Tho rongo’of employments for women is oxtrorriely limited in Onr oOUiltry. If we except the profession of teaching, tbfl/e are no occupations, but the most menial and subordinate ones, really opon to theijn. An occasional artist, physioian, merchant, asJrono mor, is an cccetitricity to be Stared and wondered 1 at, rather than approved and helped forward. For all suoh exceptional oases there is ho provision for education or Support. * 1 Tho custom which excludes Amorican women from varied employments ' oppresses those who do work, heavily; for when a woman bus won herself an honorable position in any unusual line of life, she is ptUl excluded from the companionship and ‘privileges of tho olass to which she should belong, bpbfeuge her'oourßo is unusual.' which all women have to strug gle with, who attempt to widen the range of ooou patioh for their sex, is in tho highest degree dis couraging; This is ontircly wrong. Strength should not be wasted in seeking an opportunity for growth; it should be reserved for using the oppor tunity to its fullest extent, for growing through it, to the full measure of capacity. * The widening of industrial occupations, the opening of a variety of avenues for the exercise of woman’s thought and labor, is a work dearly de manded by our age; it is required by tho broad prinoiplo of justice to tho individual. Let us welcome, then, every effort which U ear nestly made by women to exercise thoir abilities In any field of honorable labor they may chooso. : Stop the sneer at any effort because it is unusual. If 'it be useful, help it forward, that it may no longer be unusual.

MiBSESSSWfi:, FROM NAHANT, [Correapoadence or Tho Press.] Nauaht, August 22. ■Tho tranquil life at Nahant win make but a .tamo recital compared with your brilliant account of the gayetics of Nowport. But our quiot little peninsula la not without its attractions. Thenatu ral beauties are striking and singular. It is thrust out into the sea like an arm and Set; tho blue water, with its edge of white surf, cnoirelcs it like a sotting of poarl and sapphire; in one direction, you look out upon the open occen, and in others oyer tho ourving bays to the white walls of the dis tant fishing villages—dearer, alaai to the sight than tho smell. All tho aottages—real cottages— have a Swiss air about them, and oven our hotel,, which standson tho finest site oftho whole headland, looks like an enormous ohnlot, wilh its light balco nies and flights of stops. Thu favorito walks are, of course, along the olifflj, which are bolder and more broken than those at Newport, while curious caves, accessible only at low tide, tempt tho foot of the active and adventurous; but the groat amusemont is driving. Every afternoon the beaches and roads between here and Lynn are thronged with barouches, broughams, buggies, phtetons, pony-chaises, and every sort of vobicle, from tho heavy close car riage to the spider-liko trotting-wagon. Troops of equestrians, too, way bo soon to “scud along tho levol sands.” This stream of coaches empties it self into Lynn, wbeDoo it flows off in dlfforont di rections, along shady roads, through trim country places, or into the wild woods. Thero is not much driving to be had on Nahant itself, though a pub lic-spirited gentleman, the owner of the prettiest cottage and flnost grounds here, has done his best to inorease what thore is, by oponiug a road on tho edge of tho oliff, along the whole extent of his property. It is a uoblo picco of work, and would raako a magnificent drive if tho other cottage owners could be induced to follow his oxample, but thoy aro un wliUug to destroy tho cliff walk and the privacy of their own grounds. Nahant Is greatly indebted to this gentleman in many ways. Tho rows of quiver ing aspens that open in vistas along the road side, and the piotnresque avenuo of willows that loads to Lass point—our fishing head-quarters—are all his planting. Earlier in tho summer he devised something for tho amusement of tho inhabitants, scarcely a less benevolent aot than his nursery, gardening, and engineering. On tho huge stones which support tho balustrade of his cliff road were printed a number of disconnected words, which composed, when properly arranged, a complete sen tence. Tho (Edlpua who put thorn properly together was to win a valuable pearl ring which tho magnifi cent riddlo-givcr had deposited with our boat, Mr. Stevens, with a sealed explanation. After a cha ritably long intorval to allow our brains to work out tho puzzle, tho various answers wbioh hud been sent in woro oponed, and tho prito awarded to'a lucky Boston editor, whoso “guess” was the nearosttothe truth. One of tho chief oxoitemeota of tho season has beon tho visit of a codot corps from Boston, who pitched their camp on a lovely rise, oalled Sumot hill, where fpr three days thoy held their ground against wind and weather. Tho little white tents and bright flags, the gay uniforms of the gentlemen militia, and tho light dreasos of the ladies who went to boo the parade and drill, and listen to tho fine band, presented a lively sceno. But tho third evening they marohod off towards Lynu, and wore hidden by the dazzling rays of the setting sun, to wards )?hloh they took thoir way. A oharity fair is just now''absorbing the interest of every one. It is in aid of an institution for the support of siok and superannuated servants. The ladies of Nahant have been working with a will, and succeeded in making a number of very pretty things, whioh have brought in fin© prices, whilo the post office and sales by auction, condnotod with great spirit, have occasioned tho usual amount of fun. We have no regattas not fetes champetre , but many a pleasant pio-nlc and sailing party, and most of tho titled names which you bavo de lighted to enumerate among the visitors at New port arc to be soon in the traveller's book at our hotel.

[For The Press.] THE FASHIONABLE CHURCH What a Rustic Thinks of It, Me9Brs. Editors : Since I commenced my of sight-seeing in this town of yours, I have heard all manner of puffs of-the “ brilliant oratory ” and “ ahinifig totems ” of acertain Roy. Doctor, whosi congregation, comprisod .the bulk-of the intelli gence and, the largest proportion of the and “most resppotable ” families of the city! Moreover, it was said that nothing vulgar ever en tered there; being in one of' the most ’ fashionable precincts, it was hedged iti on eVe'fy slde 'by thi impenetrable barrier of exclusiveness. 1 Expecting a rich intellootual treat, as well ag a gratification of self pride in an aAsooiation with- so much " u wall 4 pecuniary distinction, I spent an extra minute in brushing my beaver, and a loose “ fip ” in getting my .boots blacked, took my old-fashioned hymn book from tho bottom of my oarpet bag and sallied forth one fine Sabbath morning to see and hear for myself. My attention was soon arrested by a long train of carriages drawn up by tho sidewalk. Tho riohly caparisoned horses, the liveried garbs of the drivers, and the high polish of their silver mountings reflected beautifully the rays of tho morning sun. A little furthor observation con vinced me that I was in tho vicinity of the ohuroh in question, for I saw a lot of soucy-looking people ascending the marble steps of a stately edifice within an enclosure. I ascended tho steps, entered the church, and was crowding through to get a convenient seat, when I suddenly encountered a person who sur veyed inefrom head to foot in less time than it re quires me to state it. I tried to look pious, but to no purpose, as piety waa at a discount. He soon had the measure of my dignity, as heseized a small throe-legged stool and told mo to follow him, whioh I did with the greatest meekness up, or rather down the aisle, noarthe stage-pardon me, 1 mean tho pulpit. After taking the seat so generously be stowed, Hooked around to see if thero was a possi bility of crowding any more in, when lo! I found that one-half the pews wero unoccupied. I then thought I had arrived too soon. Now and then a pew owner would arrive, unlock his pew door, and step in with the indifference of a belle in her private box at the Opera. As I survoyed the orimson cush ioned aeatB,and saw their occupants reclining witb -in, I could not help admiring the striking ex hibitions of improvement in religious exercises since the days whon He, “ who spake as never man spako," addressed his “ mixed” audiences of rich aud poor, publicans and pharisees alike, from the hill-aides and fishing smacks of Judea. After all, thought I, science has overcome tho many obstruc tions in tho road to heaven, whioh the ancient proph ots represented as being so formidable; and the nar row way, to walk in which King David found so dif ficult, has been widened, rolled, and is now adorned with suoh beauty that to walk in it is a mere stroll of pleasure; but, like the privato walks in tho en closures of princes, tho “rabble” aro shut out lest they invado the sanotity of cultivated taste. As I behold tho droomy languor of those around me, I concluded that there was still a possibility of going to heaven on cushions, if we could not go thero on “flowery beds of ease.” I was for a moment en chanted with the scone, and tried to realize a fol low fooling by reclining also, forgetting there was nothing behind to support mo, and I was on the point of losing my equilibrium; I then realized the great golf that separated us. Truly, “they who would pass from hence to me could not,” neither could thoy roturn to the oharmed circle after an association with an individual obliged to sit on a thrco-loggod stool. Bolievo me, I felt forlorn. Every man, woman, and dandy scorned to have cast all thoir care on tho minister, however Thelatter creature is oasily attended to, as its moral respon sibility is a matter of doubt among theologians. One profound doctor of divinity, after the most pa tient investigation, came to the conclusion that if It had a soul, thore was but one divided amongst the entire spooios. Fashionable ladies, bloom ing in all the freshness of rouge, expand ing to tho full circumferenco of crinoline, sparkling in all the brilliance of rubies, decked with gold and garnished with ringlets and feathers; retired wino merchants an<l thoso who have not yet rotired; brokers, usurers, bank directors, patent medicated humbug balsam ma kers, and successful politicians, with the haughty corners of their patrician mouths drawn up, all seemed fully assured that the one thing needful which thoy had nogleoted all thoir lives was safely intrusted to the keoping of the minister. Indeed, tho only man, I saw that I believed realized his spnso of duty, and who was waiting to perforin it, was the man leaning on the organ polo. There, thought I, ye exclusives, who dotest vocal music so much, because it distorts your patrician mouths, behold an example worthy your imitation. Poor man! doomed to perpetual subserviency in the church militant, I fear you will have to pluck- the fruit from Life’s fair tree, and draw water for these people, oven on the other side of Jordan. But the grand feature of tho entertainment yet remains to be told. After a musical discord in which the Psalm of David and tho opora of Verdi eaoh strovo for the mastory, and a‘ prayer, lu whioh the ministor rotated some 'things which’ might lead one to suppose the Almighty nevor knew bo fore, the burst of eloquence, anxiously waited for, camefortb. It was something new to me. Insteadof telling us that we fjerp poop .miserable sinners, we were extolled as being capable of anything but creative power. The church, he said, was not to bo a meek institution; but tt towering Colossus, be fore whidh' the' World must- bbw and do homage, When he bf the poor benighted heathen, I. noticed that- be touohdd- the first tender chbrdlof his'congregation, if the application' of handker chiefs to faces was an-indication.

It is the last remnant of the walls of old Westminster Palace, almost just as it j was in the days of King Rufas, of traditional and i fabulous NormuiT hospitality. This glorious old | hall,'with its stirring past history written upon its i walls; and its.lnterlor above with memories of the I deepest historic interest, forms a most I entrance to the new Houses ©^Parliament, : But before entering, let us Unger a space in Pal* i ace Yard, npw forming the square opposite the l entrance to this ancient hnU. This spot has beon rendered ever memorable as the scene of the esc* cutioaof Sir Walter Raleigh, and I never crossed its well-worn glass atones without recalling in iw: \ agination the exoiting scene of that morning I whoa tho brave old knight came from that gloomy | cell in the Tower to die, having proved by his piety and patience during his long confinement, use bis own words— ! “ That stone walls do not a prison make Nor iron bars a cage ; Minds innocent and quiet take That for on hermitage.” I There was an anxious but orderly crowd in Palace Yard on that calm, bright morning of thb 27tb October, 1618. Every window and house-top seemed alive with the, populace of London and its vicinity.’ , ’ ' ] Through the long‘and narrow street by which the 'mournful profession passed from tho tower, on to the place of execution, was one dense struggling .mass, who had come to sep an old man, broken bV. the Btorauof fata, borne onward to bis doom, u was nine in.the, morning when Raleigh ascended the • scaffold, which, draped in blockj lifted skeleton fonu diieotiy in the centre of Palace Yard, .to submit to that ’ cVuel sentence which had been passed fifteen years before. He had"suffered for abma days from Aver and ague: but, lest the weak ness of his body should 1m considered a weakness <* the soal, most brave.old man, be stopped imme diately on arriving, and, addressing the penods about him, said, “ I desire yon will bear with m|* withal, and if I should manifest any weakness, I beseech you to attribute it to my malady, as this is the hour in which it is wont to come.” After some preliminaries, he remarked to his friends about him—“ I have a long journey to go, and must bid you farewell,” and so turned himself about to prepare. Asking the executioner to show him the axe, and the latter appearing to hesitate, he said quickly—“ Prithee let me see, it man; dost thou think lam afraid?” The executioner then hand ing it to him, he ran his finger along the glitter ing edge, and said, smilingly—This is a sharp medicine, but a perfect remedy for all diseases.}' Being asked' by the executioner which way he would lay his head upon the blook. he uttered that memorable bat be&utifal sentence—“ It matters not, so the heart be straight, which way the head lietb;’’and then bonding himself to hia fate— ‘• No man dared to look aloft, . For foar was on every soul; There was another heavy sound. A hush, and then a groan, • And darkness swept across the sky— The work of death was done.” The hoary head that fell upon that scaffold wis carried away in a mourning coach to his disconso late widow, to whom he had addressed those beau tiful and affecting letters from the Tower. Being perfectly embalmed, she kept it by her daring life, and after her death it was placed by the side of his body in tho vault of St Margaret’s Church. A few years ago the vault was opened, and there, still enshrined in Us casket, was found the em balmed head of the poet, philosopher, orator, and sage, possessing tho countenance unimpaired and life-like. Butlotua enter Westminster Hall, on our way to the Chambers of the two Houses of Parliament, and indoing so, recall the leading incidonts in its history. Looked at as a banqueting hall, here have taken place nearly all the coronation feasts of England Hero, too, the ancient Varliaiaents.of the Realm were wont to sit—here Cromwell wps Inaugurated, and hero have taken place the State trials of England, including those of Sir Thomas Moore, Elizabeth's favorito Essex; but, more illus trious than all, Charles tho First, and last of all. coming down to more modern times, Warren Hastings. A largo archway on the left of the farther ex tremity of this hall discloses a stone stair-case, which admits you to the Chamber of St. Stephens. Troad reverently, for you stand on entering hero upon the site of the old House of Commons. The space it occupies is renowned as that of Rome’s old Senate Ilall. Directly facing you as you enter, arch after arch admits you to tho massivo pile boyond. A row of huge pedestals flank the w&U on oithcr side of you, ornamented with statues‘of England’s worthiest and best. There you mhy discern tho furrowed brows of Selden, the hand some, manly face of Hampden, with the rich curls clustering aboulhia massive forehead; the thought ful countenance of Falkland, and tho manly forms of Walpole, Chatham, Fox, Pitt, Sheridan, and Burke, all standing thero in mute majesty upon that very spot which, when living, was the theatre of their world-wide fame. And see how thoso great compartments that soparate the statues are eloquently alive with historic frescoes illustrative of England’s past glories. Here you behold tho sitting of tho Wiltenagemoto, the earliest Saxon Council, and there the feudal system finds an illustration in tho homage of the Barons to William the Conqueror. On the one side you have the crowning of Henry the Seventh at Boswortb, over the dead body of Richard, on tho other side the signing of i\& Magna Charta', here the Reforma tion typified in the inoideqta of Elizabeth receiving tho Biblo in Choapside, while in dose vicinity you notice the stalwart form of Sir Thomas Moore as serting and defending the privileges'of the Com mons against Cardiual Wolsey» Above these splen did frescoes are raqge? of windows, five on a side, of most cathedral-like proportions, filled with the richest stained glass, glowing in amber, violet and ruby hues, “Filling the air around with beauty.” Passing through the magnificent arch at the other end of this superb hall, you find yourself in the Central Rotunda of the pile, and whose exqui site proportions and enriohment excite at once your warmest admiration. It is octagon in shape, and its grained roof, with Us hugo bosses, rival 4 n y specimens of Gothic architecture in England. The massive walls divide the inner' into eight principal divisions. ' Rich clusters of columns rise between esob of the alternating series, and form round the entire hall eight grand hrohes. * Every tMpg.AWUnd breathes an atmosphere of grandeur, richness,; &n£ repose.

Ascend a few, steps, and you a re. looking down apon a spot which , occupies a conspicuous place in the mental vision of the civilised world. It is the new home of that_aogust bo<ly to which England owes much of her liberty—and may I not say, our own country; '&xv ! for it"should 'be remembered it was through’ the withering and indignant elo quence of Chatham, olßurke. and Bane, that the English yfr&s' finally compelled to re e-ognisa the'independence of the colonies. - ' ■« It is .nob easy to describe the chamber where the .House of Cpmmons legislate- It i$ oblong in eh&pe, jvith a > rpof'doping from ;he ede upwards jo a glass surface, but lined with a- ■wainscoting of rich and elaborate delicacy. ‘ The windows are filled with stained glass, of .rather a cloady pattern, while rows of emblazoned shields extend all round *the chamber; ofi, under, and above the gallery, and are the Only gleams of bright color vouchsafed to the House. * A* ghUerj extends on each tide the '1 engfchi of. the ohamber, exclotively tot members Who choose .to leave the floor, and the diplomatic -body, j.wjitlp f there .is one over the Speaker’s chair over them a latticed fpr.ladles, .who Jook through the ban, like ‘the inmates of tonie Eastern Harem.

But returning to the octagon ball by which we gamed entrance to the House of Commons, and .passing through a corresponding corridor, Ukfr that we. have mentioned as leading totheCom xpofiSrWd reach the lobby of the House of Peers. ‘Here one most pause, startled by the magnificence .that surrounds him. Colors glow and gilding burns everywhere around you. The windows are ablase with georgeously stained glass, containing the arms of the English aristocracy. Gold, crimson, *M blue stain the walls that intervene between them ; gilaed crowns and rosea garland the arches, while the roof is heavy with gilded sculptures- A pair of brazen gates, weighing, it U arid, a ton and more* open from this lobby into the House of Peon. Nothing has been left undone that taste could suggest or art perfect, to make this place a visible type of the order to which it belongs. The win dows 'of this 'ehamber ‘are twelve in number, »"d filled with stained gloss of the riehest pattern. The matire ribs of the ceiling are like so many bars of gold. At the upper end of this gorgeous ohamber is the throne—& most sumptuous piece of carved work in wood, heavily gilded, and Urge enough'to contain beneath its light and elegant triple canopies the chief chair for the Queen, and smaller ones for Prince Albert and the Prince of Wales. At each end over the throne, and over the cor responding lofty canopy facing it, three arches of most stately span enshrine frescoes emblematic of some prominent erent in English history from the earliest time to the present, while between tile windows and in each of the four corners, in appro priate niches, are colossal .statues in bronze, gilt, of those brave barons who wranfe the great conci sion of Magna Charta from King John. Hie body cf the House is occupied by sofas for the Peers, of deep crimson. The clerk’s oaken table is in the centre, and the red woolsack of the Chancellor just below the throne. Lord Campbell tells us the origin of this remarkable piece of fund tore. Having premised that there are woolsacks tor the judges and other dignitaries as well as for the Lord Chancellor, he continues: “They are said to have been introdfieed as seats for honorable men, oa t of compliment to the staple manufacture of the realm.” These are the two chambers where the Lords and Commons of Great Britain legislate.

During the last two months a good deal has been done at Cincinnati in the way of contracts for hogs for November delivery. The Price Current of that city says: In toe early part of June, when ii was thought doubtful that even & moderate corn crop could be made, the disposition to make these con tracts was strong and very general throughout the West, and within the last month, when it became apparent that the markets would be entirely clear ed of the old stocks of provisions before the new would come in, tho demand, which had subsided some during theforo part of July, again became more active and prices advanced. During the latter part of June and the fore part of July $6.50 per cwt. seemed to be the prevailing ra-le, and atvrhich we heard of contracts to the ex tent of 7,000 head. During the latter part of July $6.75 was paid for 4,000 head for November delive ry, and $8.50 for the fore part of December. With in the last two weeks about 3,000 head were sold, for November delivery, at $7 per cwt., net. The impression is pretty generally entertained that the pork brought into market early will command high prices. According to-our advices from Illinois there is an active demand for hogs j n that State at $6 net, with more buyera than sellers. ..
