Mr. ItennettM_Rua,in Uthe.
In an article, (MUM first page, We have re
lated some particulnre respeothig an actor of
some notoriety, yet living, who is chiefly re
membered, in Duct locality, en account of the
particular prestige which he considered at
tached to him, by reason of his being pos
sessed of a pow in a church. There aro many
persons, besides Ton &nor, the c 4 fettered
the stage, who speak and act as If
the glciry. _or creation, to each, was " my
paw." - Among these is. Mr. Lutes Gonnos
BENNETT, of the New York Herald, who
lately purchased a quarter•here et land, in
a suburb' of New York, called Washington
Heights, on , which he has eroded one of
the shanties which Cockneys call at a wills."
[By the Way, we recently saw, by a report of
atrial in one of the Aew York courts, that
the said Mr.: BENNETT, having omitted to
pay some , r ot the 'mist of this cottage, bad a
• ,
Verdiet, against him' for the amount due.]
What "my, pew" Was to Mr. _STUART, this
quarter-acre ei with the " Mita," Is to
Mr. BENNETT. Almost every other day, he
-drags, Washington Heights into his amiable
journal; and thinks that, by exalting that lo
cality, he elevateshimself. The way In which
he speaks as "a property.holder" is extreme
! ly freidt,- arid" Shows a viVidity of mind, very
cnri uaiin ' s veterata Who has long since passed
the three score.years and ten which are gene
rally stee'epted ail the average period of human
existence, •
•
The other day, afraid that the avenues and
streets in that district should dolaid out, with
duo.regard to public convenience, and not to
suit the caprices or interest/3'a tr the proper
ty-holdere," Mr. BENNETT broke out; In the
Heraid,lo this effects
" It Would be a orfme against Nature and a sin
against posterity to allow any set of oommissiOnoro
to ran , the beauty of the plats, and change its
hetithy character fate Ow dead level and right
angles of the lower portion of the city, Let at
least ones spot on theialand be awed from the
levelling barbarity of the modem Oaths and Van
dals, consecrated to dielling plaoas, freo from the
dust,' and and noise, and mamma of a
great commercial metropolis. , Those who have
bought-property.hero have not bought it for
iurposes of, speculation—they are merchants,
lawyers, clergymen, doctors, ;professional men— .
many them retired from business, and desiring
to enjoy a life of happy repose—men Of eharae ,
ter and mark, and stake in the community—the
Pits of the city of New York. There are no
'little villains' among them, no broken.down
Wall-straet stock { jobbers who, in their desperation,
deal in dead iuen's bones; but they are auceesaftit
men of business—swag them some successful
editors; They 'are men of education, and taste,
andinalent, and
,rdinement, who do not want to
speoulate in their delightful residences, which
they know how to appreciate and enjoy. This
region is destined soon to surpass in other
respeotsi •as it does now by Nature,
the
Paubourg St. Germain, of Paris, or the West End
of London.' Let Its owners, therefore, at once
proceed to take the necessary stops which we
have pointed out towards securing for themselves
and their children forever the blessings of such
delightful abodea, against." the designs of greedy'
l'haiwies and endures, which era hovering around
to destroy them by turning the laying out of the
streets and avenues into a flagrant job---men who
are ever seeking whom and what they may do.
vour—eeeking to make everything on the earth,
in the earth, and above the earth, Moir lawful
and devoted prey."
The auto-biographical touches in this are
very amusing. Mr. BENNETT desires to enjoy
a life of happy repose—Mr. BENNETT is a man
of character and stake in the community—Mr.
BENNETT boasts himself as one of the flits of
the city of New York—Mr. BENNETT Is not a
" little villain" nor a broken-down Wall-street
stock-jobber, but a successful editor—Mr.
BENNETT (he tells U 9 himself) Is a man of
education, taste, and talent, and refinement,
who appreciates anti enjoys his " willa"—Mr.
Bamsart, to crown all, is afraid that his de.
lightfal abode, standing on a quarter.acre of
land; will be ;aid waste by greedy vultures and
harpies. ',`Here Is "Mypew" all over again.
Those who wish to ascertain Mr. BENNETes
pretensions to rank"among the //it/ and men
of taste, honor, and refinement of New York,
will allow ns ,to refer them to it Memoirs of
JANES GORDON BENNETT and his Times,"
written by that embent journalist, Mr. Iseap
p t rarer.,
s ln page 191 of that interesting
biography will be found Mr. BENNETT'S own
account of a beating be got from Mr. Alms

Ignored the diairate of the personal chastise

If the men of character, and mark, and
note--of education, and taste, and talent, and
refinement—who also aro te property-holders "
on Washington Heights, strike a balance, as
BENNETT did, when personally chastised, we
take leave to doubt, a very little, whether they
really do constitute the ewe of the city of
New York. That's all.
Governor Wise's Letter on the Slavery
Question.
Governor Wean has recently written to
Wrrsrsae F. &wenn,. editor of the Signal,
published at Now. Auburn, Alabama, a paper
that has hoisted his name as a candidate for
the. Presidency—a letter which fills nearly
lhirly closely-printed columns In the Rich
mond Enquirer—pi regard to the slavery con
troversy and the exalting questions in re.
ference to It which are now exciting public
attention. The extreme length of the letter
will prevent Ito general perusal or republica
tion;; but it is nevertheless 'attracting con
siderable attention - from the chinneteristid
ability displayed , in it. We cannot undertake,
in this article, to give even a satisfactory ab.
stract of it; bet some idea of its "lattice may
ho formed by our readers when we state that
Governor WOE announces his opposition to
the doctrine of non-Intervention by Congress
with slavery in the Territories which has
hitherto been advocated by the Democratic
party. He denounces the surrender by Con
gress of its rights and duties on that question
and while he contends that Congress cannot
prohibit slavery in the Territories, he claims
that it is its right and duty to protect it there
against all unfriendly legislation. He denies
the authority of Territorial Legislatures to tax
slaves, or in any way to'prohlbit slavery. His
idea Of Popular Sovereignty is, that it can
only be folly enjoyed at the moment when
State Constitutions are formed, preparatory to
admission into the Union, at which time he
supposes full dominion can be exercised, in
regard to slavery as well as all other subjects.
No contends that the Constitution , guaranties
to slavery in the. Territories all the protection
it requires, but that the power of Congress to
assist in securing such protection should not
be surrendered.
The Squares.
On the very day after THE Passe, echoing
the complaints of the community, strongly pro
tested against Washington Square being kept
locked up, even while Summer is already smi.
ling 'upon ns, in this merry month of nay, the
mythical personages called " the authorities "
took the hint, and threw the gates open,
greatly to the delectation of the juvenile por
tion of society,, who are now able to renew
their .(gronnd.nut) acquaintance with the
squirrels, and admire the violets which stud the
grass, in blae beauty. Franklin Square is also
open, and hundreds of children, aye and of
adults too, have been delightedly watching tho
rainbows which the sunshine makes when,,the
fountains' cast their feathery spray into the
air. Logan Square is also open now, and
much frequented. Rittenhouse Square, ,on
the contrary, continues carefully closed. Per
haps the antique fogyism which directs it, will
open it, somewhat , about Independence Day.
We do not mean to lose sight of those
monstrosities "of non accommodation, the ex
aggerated toadstools which are made to do
duty for seats, but only allow people to porch
themselves upon them, at the risk of getting
a spinal complaint. These monstrosities
must be removed, and proper, substantial,
backed, iron seats put in their place. There
cannot be, and there is not, any plausible pre
text fer continuing thus to inconvenience the
public, by a marvellous ingenuity of non•ac
commodation. No other city in the Union
is disgraced and annoyed by such apologies
for public seats as these.
Letters from Italy.
Tomtorrow we shell publish a tlfth letter from
Italy. The tear I ' l2 :wall described In these
interesting letters, is a pedestrian one, performed
by - a true Philadelphian. In this new letter the
writer desoribes his tramp through the Oorniehe,
frOnC Savona, in view oehhe Alpo, through the

Tim Pike's Peak Gold Mlncs—A. New
Filibuster Movement.
The emigration to Pike's Peak during the
last few months la said. to have been very
largo. Emigrants have flocked them by hun
dreds from many quarters of the Union—some
on foot, with all their WOrldly goods in packs
upon their backs—other's drawing handcarts
containing their little all=whilo the more for
tunate have bad Indian ponies, mules, or ox
teams, to convey to their new homes good
supplies of provisions and mining implementi.
Sufficient time has not yet elapsed to ascer
tain with certainty what degree of success
these hardy eniigrants are likely to meet with
in their search for gold, but a few are said to
have already returned disheartened, and the
fear is expressed that the mining district is
not large and rich enough to pay any consid
erable number of persons for mining. On the
other hand, the Nebraska City News, of the
28d ult., states that two men, who had left the
mines on the 17th of Mareb,-reported that the
miners were making from. $8 to $lO per day
in the Epantah diggings, and that they were in
tine spirits. The Pike's Peak problem is one
of considerable interest to the whole country.
If that gold region proves to be a really rich
and extensive one, its proximity to the densely
populated portions of our country will speedily
fill it with miners, and an immense impetus
will be given to business of all kinds by large
supplids of gold from that quarter. By the
coming fall, we presume, sufficient information
will be obtained to thoroughly test its merits
as a mining region. • . •
It is rumored that a movement is already on
foot, in case the golden dreams of the miners
are not realized at Pike's Peak, to enlist their
energies in a new filibustering movement
against the Mexican States of Sonora and
Chihuahua. The renowned WALKER is in
California, and it is supposed that he Is, as well
as Locicarnaz in Texas, In some way eon
"meted with this movement. A. force of disap
pointed Pike's Peak's gold-hunters, strength
ened by reinforcements from. Texas and Cali
fornia, that would be strong enough to conquer
Mexican opposition, might, it is supposed, bo
raised, and vast quantities of rich lands be dis
tributed to the adventurers as a reward for
their enterprise and courage. The past his
tory of American illibnaterism, however, af
fords no warrant for the hope that such an ex
pedition would prove a profitable one to tho
masses of those engaged in it. It curse seems
to have followed our filibusters wherever they
have gone. They have nearly all been killed
in the ware in which they have been engaged,.
or fallen victims to diseases engendered by
exposure and the malaria of climates to
which they were unaccustomed. No exten
sive movements of mankind have ever been
more successful and profitable than the set
tlement of the new regions of our own count
try, and the development of their exhaustless
resources, under the protecting shield of the
laws and Constitution of the United States,
while misfortune, danger, and death have at
tended all the operations of the filibusters.
Fortunately, opr national domain is so exten
sive that we have at this time, and will have
for years to come, land enough for all who
really need it, and who know how to make
good use of it. Vlore is no good excuse for
an unauthorized American foray upon the Mgr
ritpry of any other nation. Even in many of
the old-established . States land is still cheap
and abundant. There are districts of Penn
sylvaniaowhere land of fair quality can be ob
talned at very low rates. The Territories of
Kansas, Minnesota, Ari,cona, New Mexico,
and Oregon, open up an almost exhanstlegg
field for emigration, to agricultuiists. Ip
California, too, farming is said to be a eery
lucrative business, and tempting inducements
are held out to farmers by that country.
The balls qt nearly all the vast wealth which
this nation now posses es vas gstahlished by
the peaceable and logal colonization of her
Soil ; and we do not doubt that whenever the
expansion of the energies of the country really
requires now territory, the Government will
secure it without "%sooting the risk and danger
of its azinisition upon a few bands of mason
ding adventurers. We impo, therefore, that
tbo now. filibuster expedition contemplated
will pot be engaged in by any considerable
body of AusoFican eitipne. litany of the
minors now at Pike's Peak aro skilful farmers,
and if they are disappointed in gold-digging,
they had much better return homeward, or
vine down upon pre-emption claims in Han
pas, Weineskri, op Afinnegeta, than risk their
lives and wreck their fortunes in feel;.bardy
and dangerous expeditions. We trust, their
hopes of the Pike's Peak region may be rea
lized t bat if they are not, there will be little
likelihood of improving their fortunes if they
place themolves under the guidance of men
who IMP shown thpm;elyes to be as reckless,
end as regardless of the welfare of their fol.
lowers, as qeneral WALKER and his associates.

A late letter from China states a tragical event
that had occurred in hang gong. Tho Mastiff, a
New York ship, waslying in the harbor, when one
morning Oapt. Johnson, the master, missed his
Chinese servant boy - , and also about $75,000 in Eng
lish sovereigns. Naturally ho inferred that the boy
had stolen the money and ran away. liut a week
after the body came upfront the water with a repo
tied about the ueok, showing the boy-had been
strangled, and a piece of Iron attached to the
rope to keep the body down. But it was raised by
an accidental blow on the side of the ship, and
came up as a witness. Murder will out. Throe of
the crew wore imprisoned, one a Frenchman and
the others Irishmen, who were convicted mainly
upon their own statements, and condemned to be

The open-air concerts which annually take place

the mercantile interest of the city, as well as the

ling operations, in which not only the Gevelnment
but numerous private Individuals and firma have
been victimized. Bartlett, who was 1 1 noInerly
lawyer in Now York, woe accepted by Col:Maniere
Etringhrtm anon tire recommendation of 'Bev.
Henry Ward Beecher, at a salary of $BOO te soar.
At the time of entering norm his duties lime, he
was accompanied by his wife and their entire per
sonal effects were contained in a single trunk and
carpet bag t but so shrewdly Sine ha floundered,
that upon returning to New yorlc, last week, un
der peculiar circumstances, which will presently
appear, his goods and chattels amounted to six
truck loads, most of whiela appears to hate been
obtained under false pretences
'Among the losers by bis operations Is a well
known firm of manufacturingjewellers on Wash
ington street, of whom,ho obtained about $lOO in
goods and money; a weliknown music dealer,
who holds one of two notes for $125 each given in
payment for a piano, and a gentleman of State
street, of whom be borrowed $250, and upon whose
claim Bartlett was arrested by Deputy Sheriff
Dearborn, of Charlestown, one day Met week. In
order to escape the meshes of the law, be gave a
bill of sale of the piano, on which be owed $125.
Ile ordered, in the name of Commodore Strlngbatn,
of a stationer in State street, about $450 worth of
Government blanks, inconsideration of the profit
on which ho obtained a dismount of his own note
for a considerable amount.
The evidence of his reecality accumulating too
rapidly for hie safety, Bartlett fled the city en
Thursday law, and his wife, who seems to partake
largely of the peculiarity of her husband, fidincr
ing him seen after, had the assuranee, with the
balance of 13artlett's salary, amounting to about .
$l5, in her pocket, to direct the bushman who
conveyed her to the oars to call on Commodore
Stringham for hie pay,
Since his departure it has been discovered that
Bartlett has obtained several hundred- dollars'
worth of postage stamps, wbioh he has applied to
his own use. and It is whispered that the Govern
ment are further losers through the unaccounta
ble disappearance of some letters connected with
a contract for lumber, in which Bartlett le sup
posed to hare been a gainer. He Is alto said to
limo ordered goods in various places In the name

with which hypochondriacs and insane persons
are oftentimes affected aro not a little emus
ing to the unconcerned spectator, however
uncomfortable they may bo to the, patient
himself. There are many anecdotes respect
ing these illusions related by medical authors.
Marcus Donates informs ea that a baker of
Forma believed he was made of butter, and
on that account would not approach the oven,
lest ho should melt.
The Same author, relates that a person by
the name of Vientiane imagined he was of
such an enormous size, that he could not go
through the door of his apartment.' • His phy
eician gave orders that be should be forcibly
led through it, which was done accordingly,
but not without a fatal effect, ,for .Vicentinue
cried out, as he was forced along, that the flesh
was torn from his hones, and that his limbs
wore broken off, of which terrible impresettm
he died in a few days, accusing those who
conducted him of being his murderers..
Tulpitts toile an that the wife of one Solomon
cialmus fancied she had been dead, but that
God had sent her back to the world without
a heart, for he had kept it in heaven. On this
account she was extremely unhappy, and more
miserable than any creature on earth.
Gruner relates the case of a German student
of theology, by the name'of Ran. Imagining
himself the subject of a Divine call, without
waiting for holy orders, he commenced
preaching. The following is the conclusion
of one of his discourses He who believes
not in witches does not believe in the devil;
he who does not believe in the devil does riot
believe in God ; he who believes not in God
must be damned." • -
Hypochondriacs have sometimes imagined
themselves a frail article of china, and, of
course, have been in constant fear ,of being
dashed, to pieces, by the carelessness of
servants or the forgetfhiness of friends.
Pope, in cc The Cave of Spleen," rthus repre
sents these same breathing articles of brittle
ware : '

One bent ; handle thin, and that the tpuut ;
A plpkin there, like tianter , s trlpad walk! ;

A Cmsounit.--This word is frequenUy made
use of, when some. circumstance is related
which it would be an insult to .the under
standing to believe: It bad its origin as fdl
lows : Two journeymen mechanics were ono
day contending for superiority in the art of
invention, and at length laid a wager which of
them could coin the greatest lie. , When the
stakes were deposited, he that was to begin
swore vehemently that one n3oonlight night ho'
threw a ten penny nail with such force that
it went quite through the body of the moon,
which was thou at tbII. 4 , That's true," said
his opponent;" for I was on the other side at
the very moment, and, with my claw.hammer,
clinched the nail." The last fellow was ad
judged the wager, and, ftom that time, every
outrageous falsehood has been termed it a
clincher." . .
