PITIABLE POVERTY
The present Bishop of London will not live, it is
said, at Fulham. The small, though fixed, income'
of the see will not allow of a houso in St. Jnmos’
square and n palace at Fulham.— lllustrated Lon
don News.
Tho will of tho Right Hon. and Right Rev:
Charles James Lord Bishop Blomfield has boon
sworn under £60,000 personalty.— lbid.
Woajtli and poverty are comparative. Tho
Marquis of Westminster, with a daily incomo
of $7,000, looks down with pity,.we presume,
on Lord LvsDnunsT—American boro, by tho
way—who has nothing to live upon except the
$25, pObaycarwithwhiehEngland has gratefully
pensioned him off, as Ex-Chancellor, an office
Which lie held under four Administrations,
anti finally declined to accept, a fifth time,
when pressed on him by Lord Dkhiiv in 1852.
The Dukes of Devonshire, Bnccleugh, Port
land, Athol, Sutherland, and Bedford, whoso
'annual incomes respectively amount front
$1,600,000 to $1,750,000 may pityingly con
template tho hard lot of aueh poor devils ns
Lords Brnos, Eastons,' Dunoannox, Gifpobd,
and KingsXle, none of whom possess as mnclr
as $25,000 a year, indeed, Lord Kixosale,
whoso peerage dates from tho year 1181, is
really so poof, that ho can live only in a small
country houso, on some $2,000 per annum,
with tho satisfaction of knowing that (if the
cost of a proper suit of clothos would not nearly
ruin him,) ho might go to Court, and wear his
hat in the presence, of Queen Victoria. This
was. a. privilege granted to tho first peer 700
years ago, by King Jons, —a similar hereditary
right was conferred, by Henry VIII, on
an ancestor of tho present Lord Forester.
There is a pleasant story on record of the
enforcement of this right on tho part of Lord
Kdkisale. It was soon after tho accession of
George if, who, n German by birth, and bred
upwith grandhotions of etiquette, was astound
ed end angry, at beholding a tail Milesian walk
into his public Drawing Boom, liat on bead, as
independent as if UoownedSt. James’s Palace.
The matter was explained. The monarch sa
luted his hatted subject, tliorcby acknowledg
ing the claim. Lord Kinosalk, his privi
lege conceded,■should have uncovered his
head. He declined doing so until Lord Ches
terfield, tlio most polite man of the time,
courteously accosting him, stated that per-’
haps ho woe unaware that he was covered.
“It is my privilege,” said tho haughty Irish
man. “Wo know that,” answered Chester
field. “You may wear your hat before tho
King, but —before the ladies ?” ]j,ord Kixa
sale blushed, as much os his Milesian blood
would allow, and instantly took off his hat,with
an apologetic bow to the fair demoiselles who
were present.
Enough of this gossip. Wo come back to
our theme. Tho Illustrated London News is
the property of a man of largo wealth—Mr.
Herbert Ikorah, M.P. for Boston, nhd pro
prietor of the quack medicine called “Parr’s
Life Fills,”—who, contrasting his own abun
dance with clerical poverty, speaks witlis ym
pathy ■ and commiseration of the poverty of
tho Bishop of London. Disguiso it as ono
may, Poverty is a bitter draught. Dr. Tait,
the liierareh of London, .was formerly a
schoolmaster, and then, wo believe, not nearly
ao well provided for in the way of income as
he is at present. At one time, as wo know,
ho was only a curate, doing hard duty in a
rural parish, on an income of $3OO per annum.
He lias known, thcreforo, what a small salary
meins. Knowing it, one would wonder at Ids
self-sacrifice in accepting tho mitre, witii the
title of “ My Lord,” a seat in the Honso of
Lords, and the “small, through fixed incomo”
attached to tho bishopric.
How much is that incomo, tho limited amount
of which saddens tho sympathetic spirit of the
Illustrated News ? In the first place, there is
a mansion in st. James’s square, London, tho
ront of which may be $lO,OOO a year.. Next,
the 1 “small, though fixed” income of tho bish
opric is exactly s6B,6oo,—total, $08,600. Too
small an amount for a clergyman to live re
spectably upon,—so small, that tiro present
Bishop hits to. givo up Ids suburban retreat,
that humblo dwelling called “Tho Palace of
Fulham,” cbanningly situated on tho bonks
of the Tliamos.
The lata Bishop, Dr. Blompikid, did not
labor under the disadvantage of a “small, though
fixed incomo.” For nearly thirty years lie
was acting and actual head of the Church of
England, in London. A groat part of the
north-west, end of London happens to belong
to the sec, and the amiable Bishop lmd tlio
pleasure of seeing most of it built upon In Ills
time, —with the agrcoablo result, (from fines,
leases, and renewals,) of throwing between
s2so,oooand $400,000 perannunilnto his purso.
The amount fluctuated, and therefore was not
“fixed, *• but, on the other hand, it was not
“ small.” St. Paul, wo are sure, would have
opened hla eyes, in wonder, at the magnitude
of tho amount.
■ Tho incomo of tho present Bishop of Lon
don ($68,000 a year) would supply tho salaries
of a round dozen of Bishops in tho United
States. Yot the hierarchy in this country, of
whatever denomination, is not inferior, wc be
lieve, in piety, learning, zeal, morals and prac
tical goodness. Tlio Bishop who would com
plain of $68,600 por annum being a “ Small,
though fixed incomo,” deserves to bo remitted
back to his pristine condition of curato, with
8300 per annum. There arc now some 16,000
clergymen of tho Church of England, and a
third of these do hot roceivo $5OO por annum
eaob; while another third do ; uot average
$1,400. ‘ We do not see that the Bishop of
ibpdon is so very much to be pitied, because,
•yn $68,600 a yearj he cannot have “ a house
irt, St. James's Square,' and a palace at Ful
<hi up.” IVhat stately mansions, what splendid
pa laces did the Apostles rosido in 7
. have glanced at this subject, because it
seenus tp glyq tjjo key to. tho stato of religion

GOSPEL MYSTERIES,
A very - learned sermon on tno mysteries of tho
kingdom of Heaven," was prenohod on Sabbath
evoning, August 30th, in the Church of* tho
Epiphany, (Episcopal,) Chestnut and Fifteenth
streets, by Rev. Dr. May, of Virginia.
The toxtsolectod may bo found in tho Gospel
according to Matthow, xiii, 11,12, as follows:
“It is given unto you to know tho mysteries of
the kingdom of Heaven, but to them it is notgivon.
For whosoever both, to him shall ho given, and ho
shall have more abundance: but whosoverhath
not. from him shall bo taken away even that he
hath.” '
Tike sormon which followed—though, perhaps,
too metaphysical in its character to bo generally
appreciated—was one of rare logical merit oa so
nbstruco a topio.
The speaker remarked, in opening, that tho word
mystery, which frequently occurred in the Holy
Scriptures, and especially in tho Now Testament,
had not reference so much to tho inconceivable
dees of tho subjeot, as to the means of communi
cation.
Sorao things there woro which, in their very
nature, could only come to us by revolution, Suoh,
for axampto, were. regenoratiuu, tho trinity, tho
incarnation, tho atonement, Ac. Other things
there woro wbioh could only reach us through tho
qualifying grace of God, nnd such woro tho things
pertaining to tho kingdom of Heaven.
( There wore other gifts and truths for tho recep
tion of which tho grace of God was not absolutely
essential—of the?o woro tho sciences. A large
field of truth and discovery was in them afforded
to tho skeptical and irreligious, equally with tho be
lieving and thodevout. But science and philosophy
could not satisfy tho inquiries of tho soul respect
ing tho kingdom of heavon. Boionco Could teach
fls nothing of tho future state of tho doad. All
tho light we could possibly obtain upon that grqat
subject was to lio found in tho gospolj and there
alone. Tho .time had been when euchknbwtedge
had boon transmitted from God to man direct, as
jwhon God in Edou talked with his creature man
face to f&co. But in man’s fall the Supreme had
retired behind a veil, and sinoe then, whon lie
spoko, it had only been in thunders and darkness,
as in Sinai.
So that revolution had hecomo the only medium
through which man could ho reached by comma*
ideations from God. Yet with the text of tho
Bible nt our disposal, thoro, was a special gift
needed to understand it. Tho God of this world,
wo woro told, bliudod tho eyes of tlmm that boliovo
not. From this it was ovidont that tho difficulty
of understanding tbo text consisted not in its own
insufficiency, but in our blindness. God mustshino
into tbo heart to upon up God in Christ to tho un
derstanding of men;-and 1 tho greatest essential
preparation for tho roccption of this truth, con
sisted in an honest humility on tho part of tho in
quirer. “Godrcshtoth tho proud, but glvokk grace
to the humble,” was tho Gospel statement.
Respecting this mysterious understanding of
things pertaining to tho kingdom of hoove?)} thoro
were two topics presented for our consideration.
First, tho divinity of tho gift itsolf, and secondly,
tho rulo in ncoordnnoo with which it is dispensed.
Nothing could be rnoro self-evident to the Bible
studontthnn,tliaUhodi3oiplo3of Christ had sought
after his instruction, and in this respoct had what
others who woro dopiived of tho Saviour’s instruo
tions had not.
Herein was rovoalcd to us tho koy to our under
standing tho Biblo. Tho want of dcsirt was tho
grent point of deficiency with too many. It was
indeed notorious that many who did not know, did
not cate to know. They took no interest in tho
quostion, and consequently took no pains in its so
lution. This deplorablo indifforonce on the part of
dying wen, was to tho spoakor’s mind a sad, sad
reality.
There was a reprehensible levity manifested on
tho subject of . religion. IVhoovor thought of
laughing over tho dead 7 he would (ink. And yot
to tho reflectivo mind thoro was a grandeur iu tho
conception of otornity, equally solemn. Tho ques
tion, whether wo wore to live when tho body goes
down to tho dust, surely was sufficiently sorious
and important to awakon tho Inquiry of tho most
listless and indifferent.
If revelation was not nil clearly intelligible to
tho mind at the first glnnco, thoro was certainly
enough in it that was intelligible to indnoo serious
reflections. If the inquirer could not proceed,
upon tho solid ground of logic, ho could at least)
glean from It sufficient to induce his conviction ofj
the necessity of cautious procodure ; just ns'a man
in walking through a wilderness might porcoivo
barely light enough to stimulate his oaution.
It was tho madness of folly for weak, blind
mortals to dony tho* existence) of a God, because
they had found no direct proof of His oxistouco.
Even supposing that suoh diroot proof wore abso
lutely necessary for our reasonable belief in ft fin*-
premo Being, an undiscovered infinity would debar!
us from dooiding. No skeptic yot bod gono through
the vale of tho spiritual and discovered the rfcolms
of tho deported, orwingod his flight through distaut
worlds beyond tbo limits of vision; or bad looked to
the outer verge of everlasting space and silonoo,
where tho Almighty might have a field to work In,
and eternity to write his records, and then returned
to tell us “ there is no Godno, never!
And to those who would presumo to pass judg
ment upon this momentous mattor, from.tho more
iinUo ovidonoca around tUoin, ho would say, ‘‘Vain
iunn! mifiorahlo ephemeral) who, iiko tho inscot
of a day, croops to tho outer vorgo of its natal leaf,
fancies it has reached tho. brink of the unirorso,
when a breath of air at tho close of its twonty-four
hours swoops it away for ever.”
Despito all tho linins and ealculationaof gainsay-
Inis inquiroM, thon, God was sti/l posstMt, and
whilo a shadow of possibility remained of Jlia ex
istence, it wus cortainly most unwiso to defy Ilia
requiromouts. Butlhorowas an intorual, novor-
Blnuiboring ovidoneo in every man that could nev or
ho obliterated, no mnttor how much it might bo
soared., Consoioncocould never bo ontiroly silonuod.
Conscience was a pulsation corrcspomHng with
tho central throbs of tho univorso. Yot, conscionco,
acting under tho ban of a poisonous skepticism, was
a treneharous monitor. The man that cauio to us
with a trilling air upon this grave subject, was an
unsafe instructor. Tliophysiclan that should como
to his chnmbor in tho hour of sickness, said tho
speaker, with a trifling indifference as to the yMuo
of his life, could not be the physician for him.
Earnest, serious, honost inquiry respecting this
groat question of tho future, was clearly tho duty
of all. If a man woro about'to romovo perma
nently to some distant land, and as Uo was about
to start, intclligonop should bo brought to him
that tho land whiihor ho was going was fearfully
subject to a fatal contagion, prudence would at
least dictate the wisdom of his haultiug for the
purpose of iuquiriug; and such a rumor there
really had coroo to us from. tho .unknowu future.
Jt was well then for ns to bo sorious. “For,”
continuod tHo spoakor, “ whon wo have mado a
man sorioud dnd thoughtful on tho subject of ro-
Ugion, ho is half converted/’ for this was carry
ing o.ut tho vory, spirit of tho Bihlo.
But to know tho truth., ivo must labor for itr
wisdom was never obtained without had
cost many a suoocssful inquirer his blood. And
above all things, prayor was tho most befitting
prej&r&tion’for thialnquiry, for ouch UlUo depen

understanding' the mysteries of tho kingdom of
Hcarou ’is dispensed—tho groat distinguishing

desire to know, the othor has not; and if we havo
not this dcsiro - , tho truth .shall not bo given us—
then if m> receive not tho truth, the fault is
cloarly with ourselves.
Having aimed to present a connected synopsis
of Hr. May’s discourse, rather than nt preserving
tho rhotorient roundness of his copious sentences,
tho reader will, of courso, recoive tho above more
as a typo of his reasoning, than as a faithful
delineation of his stylo.
SABBATH READING.

With tho pure spirit’s right,
But near, and in the very nourts
Of those who see aright.

Modern Appearance op Athens.—Rov. Dr.
King, iu n lottor from Athens, dated July, 1857,
gives n most graphic and thrilliug descrip
tion of that famous ancient city of learning Jlo
Writes: Fotv of tho places of antiquity so com
pletely retain the outline of their history in their
geography. The hills of Romo nro comparatively
fndwtinguishubJe. The sacred placosof Jerusalem
are the subject of discussion. But about tho locali
ties of Athens there can bo nodisputo. Tho school
boy oven realizes nu Identity which it it impossible
to deny or overlook. * # * * . *
t Perhaps no spot known exorcises tho same indo
eeribablc power as tho Pnyx, with its stiil smooth
and statoly plain, and tho ltamn, from which Pori
clos and Demosthenes addressed the gutherod
crowds of Athens. Hero everything remains in
its original shape. Thoro is an artificial plain on
tho hill-top, back of the Areopagus, which would
contain annudicncoof fivo thousand persons, and
tv stone platform, with steps out in tho rook ou
side, with itafaco perpendicularly resting
on Kiiue two or three long stone stejm-or terraeos,
such ns wo havo seen imitated a score of times
in tho platform of some modern American pulpit.
Here too orators of Greece stood. The gtorios of
t the Acropolis aro on their right in full view. The
beautiful son behind. The plains of Athens nro
spread outboforo. Never wa3 there such a spat
boride; and its wonderful preservation in its origi
nal iorui aud aspect scorns to givo one of the most
rcmarkublo records of Athenian habits and Athe
nian greatness. Immediately In front is the
Areopagus, with the Agora between. Paul’s dis
putes in tho Agora with the inquiring and objecting
philosophers ot Athens led to his required public
appearance before tho pcoplo as a body on Mats
Hill. There stands the rocky eminence, with Us
ascending stops out in the f.ioo of tho rock, whoro
tho Apostle stood, “in the midst of Mat* lliil. n
What a pluco it is to read his noble address!
RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.

correspondence descriptive of their travels, amt
highly interesting in many respects. From ono of
Mr. Cuyler’a letters from Borne, Switzerland,
under dato of August Oth, pub’ishod in tho C/uis

In tho courso of tho proceedings of tho Now
School Presbyterian Convention, wnich closod its
deliberations at Richmond, Va., at 1 o’clock on
Wednesday morning of tbo present week, tho Rov.
Dr. Ross, whoso writings upon tho subject of
slavery havo recently excited so muoli attention,
suggested, among other things, as a basis of union
botween tho Old and New Sohool, that the Old
School must adopt tho viowsof their body on tho
slavory question, ond on which there wero but
three theories: 1. Tho Bin Thoory; 2. ThoToloru*
tion Theory; 8. Tho Ordained Theory.
Tho first was tho theory of tho Abolitionists, and
maintains that slavery is contrury to tho eternal
principles of right and wrong aa laid down in tho
Ditto. The answer to which was. that there is no
principle of right and wrong apart from tho will
of God.
Tho second theory was, that slavery is not a sin
in itself, but always ft condition of natural evil,
not approved, but only tolerated of God, and Mint
ail unuor it should relievo themselves as soon as
possible.
Tho Doctor said ho would defy any man to provo
from tho Bible that God only tolerates slavery.
Tho third viow was, that slavery U oidaincd of
God. as a good in hU l’rovldcneo, to tho master,
to tho slave and to tho community, so long us Jio
, continues it; and according to which theory tho
master was not an outoast nor a subject of pity,
but tho representative of God in a groat work of
boneviilenoc.
Tho toleration viow abovo named was tho Old
School theory; but until its oigumzntlon main*
tained the ordination view, hu did not wish to
join them, nor ad\ocuto a union between the two
bodies.

IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO*
Seizure of another■ Amen can Vessel at Ma

sury—A new Treaty'.ami Loan from the
United States—ltisult to ihi British Flag.
[From the Mexican Extraordinary, August o.]
Tho nows of tho country is interesting and fore
boding to foroign rosidonts.’ Wo should'be sorry
to create unnecessary alarm. But certainly ft
tighter rein will require to be kept over tbo de
pendents and under-administrative officers of this
government, or ft genera! row with foreign nations
must Fiom Mazatlan wo learn that the
late acls against the United States Consul have
boon followed by a seizure of tho captain and crew
of tho schooner Ada, and thoir precipitate eject
ment over tho aides of the vessel. The flag of tho
United States has been torn to piocos, and other
nets committed iu violence to tbo orders of the
United State* Consul, who was in tho discharge of
the duties of his office. The outrage upon tho
residence of hor Britannic Majesty’s Cbargo is
Another oaso that creates fears in the minds of
those who wish the good understanding of Mexico
with othor powors.
.Wo bcsooch tho Govornmont of Mexico ,tbat no
time be lost in manifesting tho proper disposition
in those two coses. Tho first has soVeral similar
on record in this country, but tho latter, fortu
nately, has not. With a true devotion (o the wol
fiuo of Moxico, we hope theso may bo the last
of tho kind, and that President Comonfort will
dircot the propor measures in those and previous
cases.
Tho impoverished condition of the national trea
sury is now confessed by tho official organ. Tbo
fact has Ipng boon a glaring quo to thoso who havo
had tho misfortune to hold orders on the Treasury.
Tho fact may he regarded n 6 alarming in tho pro
sent entangled condition of relations with Spain.
Rut it 13 not the affair of a good business muu to
quietly throw himself down and lament an empty
exohoquer so long as thoro is a chance to replenish
it. Mexico is at present short of ready money.
Can she escape this disagrecahlo position ? And
if so, how ? How, wo ask, is she to raise money 7
We know it does not savor of Iho present sentiment
of Moxico, but wo will answer in the voice of every
thinking man in Moxico, “By making a treaty
with the United- States.’ 1 ''The lUnitou States is
tho only country that will lend motioy to Mexioo.
Epgiund or English capitalists will not lend, for
the reason that the English policy has for a long
time been to withdraw th* capital alrcadv too per
manently invested hero. , Will Fnjqoo lend ? j No;
for tho reason that she has no intwost in lending
money to Mexico.’ Civn money be raised irom
Spain? We think thoro is not a negative suffi
ciently strong in tho English language to answer
thial Well, then, can Mexico raise money from
hor own resources, by an enlightened direot aud
indirect taxation, to defray her current govern
mental expenaor, and pay her just dobts? In the
past it ban not been so; at the present it Is not so;
and wo fear that in tho future it cannot bo so; with
the disordered condition of commerce, internally
and externally. In this condition of affairs it
scorns to be oertsin that monoymust come from
thoso who will lend, and ergo, the United States
must replenish tho present empty troasary of
Mexico. Mexico must havo money, but “at what
priceevery loyal Moxican should ask. IVe be
lieve toe have good authority for saying that
the United States Govern mail is non* about of
fering a loan to Mexico , bat, on the best autho
rity wo say it, without asking anything that will
bo derogatory to tho dignity of Msxioo to grant. 1
Tho instruction* to Mr. Forsyth from his Govern
ment are now on their way from Vera Crux to Uib
city. Wo aro informed by telegraph that tho
ngent of ono of the unsettled questions between the
United States and Mexico has arrived at Vera
Cruz, and will in a few days bo in this capital. He

Horrible Tragedy at the York Hospital
one of me Patients mortally Stabbed by a
Lunatic.
[From the Tribune oT Kept. 4.]
Ycstorday aftornoon, about 3 o’clock, a horrible
tragedy ocerrred at tho Now York Hospital.
Kearney Rogers Wagner, a patient in tho institu
tion, was stabbed by John Mead, u lunatic under
treatment in tho hospital. Tho oircumatances of
tho bloody affair nio as follow: John Mead, a
powerfully built man, a sailor by occupation, who
recently arrived in this oity on hoard tho French
steamor Arago, was scut to tho Now York Hospital
on Wednesday last, from the Custom House, to be
placed undor troutmont for delirium’ tremens.
Mead went to tho hospital unaccompaniod, and was
assigned a bed in tho “delirium tremens ward.”
As ho appeared rational and mild in his behavior,
no particular vraloh was kopt upon his movomonts,
and he received treatment from tho physicians soon
aftor boiug placed in tho ward. At tho hour abovo
mentioned, Mead was seized with a fit of delirium,
and becoming suddenly dosporftte, seized a large
earving-knifo used for outtlng bread in the ward,
which ho brandished about, to tho consternation of
his fellow-patients. In a momont aftor he ran
toward Thomas Walkor, tho nurso, threatening to
out him in pioces. Walker seized a stiok and
parried off tho thrusts mado by Mead, ut the same
time toward tho door, upou reaching
which, he ran into tho hall, and thence to his room,
followed by tho lunatic, who yelled like a demon.
Mead was close upon him, but Walkor hud just time
to reach his private apartment and lock the door,
as tho infuriated man camo up. During tho en
counter in tho ward, Walker rcooivod a cut iu tho
fleshy part of tho arm, but tho wound is not sorious. ,
Doing thwarted in his purpose, Mead returned to
his ward and pitched into afollow-pationt, n sailor,
who was nearly cured, threatening to “oarvo him :
iu small plooos.” Tho lattor sofzodaobalr and
drove Mood from tho room; but ho had no sooner
reached tho hnll than ho darted book again, and
running to a bed upon which Mr. Kearney Rogers
Wagner lay asleep, proceeded in tho coolest man*
nor to dispatch liia victim. Tho first thrust made
by Muad tho blada of tho carving-knife nonetrated
tho right broast, just above tho oollar-boue, and,
taking a downward oourso, inflicted a deep and
ghastly wound. Again ho mado another lunee
with tuo knifo, tho biudo entering between the
third nud fourth Hbs, and, withdrawing it, instaut
ly plunged it into tho breast near tho rightnipple.
A fourth, fifth and sixth timo hostruokat tb’o help
less man, lofliotiug at each blow wounds on tho
arm, ohoek and throat.
The Infliction of theso frightful wounds was tho
work of but afow moments. At tho time Mend
commenced tho savago attack on Wagner, the
upothccary’s boy and three convalescent patients
wore in the ward and gavo tho alarm, which soon
biought Darr&ch, tho Snporindendont, with
eoyorul physicians and a numberof tho inalo nurses
to tho spot, but not till the horrible work above do
tailed had been completed. Mead iustautly bo
enrno quiot and permitted bimsclf to be takou to u
place of confinement in the basement of the institu
tion. All tho necessary medical and surgionl aid
was xondorod tho unfortunate Wagnor, buttliero
is roarcely a hopo entertained of bis recovery, his
injuries boing of so serious a nature.
Wflguor, who is of rospeotablo parentage, was in
tho hospital umi»r treatment for temporary de
lirium. l|o resides in New York, and had but re*
eontly nnived from Charleston, 8. C., where he
hud boon on a visit. Jlh mothor, now in Baltimore,
ami relatives in othor parts of tho country, have
boon notified of the unfortunate affair by telegraph;
but it is extremely doubtful whether they can ar
rive in timo to see him alive.
Information of the matter boiug given at the
Tombs, Justico Connolly prepared a commitment
for Mead, and Into m the evening tho lunatic was
convoyed to prison and looked up.
Fatal Duel,
A correspondent of tho Now York Tiibuue
writing from Napo, (Eciador, 8. A.) undor date of
June 23, details an account of a fatal duel, fought
betwoon Professors W. K ilooro and K C. Fran
ois, both of lowa, and attached to the Western
Scientific Exploring Expedition.
Tho olromnstancei woru as follows; On the arri
val of tho party at Santa Rosa, on the Nopo rivor,
Professor Moore brought charges against Professor
Francis of having deceived him iu point of his
soionlillc acquirements, mid therefore had imposed
on his confidence, insulted the Govornmeut of
Ecuador, and had provod a disgriwo to his adopted
State. Thifllod to achollango on tho part Of Pro
fessor Franois, which was readily accepted by Pro
fossor Moore, and their weapons (doublo-barrollcd
fowling pieces) were hoavily loaded with buck
shot, and the distance agreed upon was five rods.
Friends interfered, but of no avail—the parties
wero dotormined to sottlo their difficulties with
powder. Accordingly on tho 20th of April, thoy
exchanged shots, and the result was the death of
Professor Francis. Tho ehnrgo of Professor Moor©
took effect just below tho region of tho heart,
while that of Professor Franoia merely grased the
head of hU antagonist.
Thus ended one of the most savago duels ever
known in this country.
The application for a writ of error by the
counsel of Charlotto Jones, Fifo and Stewart, con
victed of tho Wilson murder at Pittsburgh, has
boon argued before Judge Lowrle, and the result
was the grsatfug 9? t|» writ of error,

Here is an item that ought to be interesting,
to the Smith family. It appears from statistics,
ore pared with care, and which are perfect!J - relia
ble, that in England and Wales, “every year fire
thousand five hundred and eighty-eight Smithsare
born, four thousand and forty-four Smiths die and
three thousand and five Smiths, determined to* pre
serve tho Smith family from extinction, do mar
ry.’! Tho regular annual increase of Smiths in
those countries is, therefore, at present, one thou
sand five hundred and forty-four. Allowing the
ratio of increase, in proportion to the whole num
ber, to continue the same, and granting that there
arc as many Smiths in this country agin England
and Wales, and that they aro inoreating with equal
rapidity, we may conclude that, at the end of a
few Qeuturies, the Smith family will have- become
a multitude that no man can number, and that the
world wilf be quite ovor-run with Smiths.
