would advise them to pay a visit to Wheeling, and
they Will soon be accommodated.
Er.sertoe- Nirws:—The papers in New—York-and-
Thiladelphia, describe the anxiety and excitement on
the subject of the Elections as most intense in those
rides, on Sunday last. During all that day, it is said,
there ware large crowds around the bulletin boards of
the various newspaper offices, watching with absorbing
interest, for any thing and every thing like fresh intel
ligence. By the way we were frequently amused, du
ring tiai time the news of the Governor's election was
owning into seethe feverish anxiety manifested by hun
dreds who never took any interest in election returns
before, and did not know exactly where to look for
them. Every vehicle that looked as if it might have
cam twenty miles, Was hailed by anxious news-hunt
ers, and any thing that looked like a stage was sure to
here a crowd after it; eager in the "pursuit of know

vp- It is a most comfortable and consoling reflec
tion, that, let the result of the Presidential election go
as it may, Pennsylvania has elected a Democratic
Governor, and has recorded her solemn and decided
disapprobation of that bad and dangerous men, and
profligate politician, HENRY CLAY. She has nobly
Aimed the blot put upon her proud escutcheon by the
election -of 1840, and the weight and power of her
time-bonored Detnobratic name will not go to aid

Gar. Snusu.—We neglected to mention that Mr.
Shtndt returned home from his Esstern tour in time
so deposite his ballot for Polk and Dallas. We du
wonder how the pitiful scamps who got up the many
slanders upon Mr. SHUNS, now that they ate foiled in
their rascally purposes, can look in the face the manly
and . honetat old democrat whom they have abused, so
-shamefully. The Governor elect is in rule health and
spirits, and seems especially pleased with the present
clattering prospect of electing Polk and Dallas.

light up the city lamps on the night of the great demo_

CONFESSION OF THE MILLERITES
The Midnight Cry, of Friday, turns from sounding
the advent call to a call for funds to live, thus:
Prosisiolu for the Destihtte—As many of our
brethren and sisters have disposed of their substanoe,
and given alms, agreeable to Luke 12:33, in the confi
dem expectation of the speedy earning of the Lord, 1
wish to have immediate provision made for the com
fort and wants of all such persons, and families, by the
advent brethren. We must nut permit them to be
dependent upon the world, ort that portion of the pro
fessed church, whoscoff at our hope. We hope no ap
plication will be made to such in this work of charity.
'As to the wisdom of the course pursued by many
io relation to their temporal affairs we may pot speak
now. We belive that they were sincere, and were de
sirous in the highest degree to glorify God. And now
they must not suffer.
"Let committees of faithful and judicious men be
raised in every city and town, to whom contributions
may be given fur the poor Saints. See Acts 6:1-3:2
Cor 9:1.
Let this matter be attended to at once. "Moe°
hath this world's goods, and meth his brother have
need, and abutted' up his bowels of compassion from
him, bow dwelleth the love of God in him," Some
among us still have this world's goods, and can ren
der present aid to the destitute. I doubt not all will
do their duty. .1 V HIMES.
New York, Oct 26, 1844.
We have been mistaken in a belief to which we
thought ourselves conducted by the wcrd and Spirit,
and Providence of God. But, the, Word stands sure,
however we may err, and the promise is true: "If
any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine
whether it be °Mod." The Lord will lead his obedi
ent children.
For the future, we- have no other plan. except to fol
low the leadings of Providence. The Advent Herald
for October 30, has been received, and from it we copy
the following.
When we issued our last paper of the date of Oct.
16i ti, we gave notice thst as that was the last day of
publi-ation before Oct 22d, the 10th day of the seventh
month, we should make no provision for issuing a paper
the week following; accordingly, last week no paper
was issued from this office. As we then remarked. be
ing shut upin the faith•thatthe Lord would then come
by the sounding of this cry at midnight, during the tar
vying of the vision, when we bad all slumbered and
slept, at the very point where all the periods, accor
ding to our chronology and date of all their commence
meets terminate, we felt called upon to suspend our la
bours, and await the revolt. All the evidence, we saw,
Ipointed to that time, and as we could offer no argument
against that conclusion, we could not disbelive it—it
being , a part of our creed never to doubt without argu
ments upon which to base our doubts. Contrary, how
ever to our expectations, we find that oar time is pair
sad, and that we are still on the shores of mortality;
and that we occupy the time till the Lord comes, we
shall continue to furnish our readers with the "Herald"
the 'little while" it maybe needed.

WILLIAM PANIC
MR. TYSON'S ADDRESS
We are enabled to present to oar readers a brief
iketch of the eloqueet sod interesting address recent
ly delivered by Job It Tyson. Esq. on the occasion of
the celebration by the Historical Society.
Mr Tyson commenced by observing that in com
memorating
the landing of William Penn upon our
shores, the Historical Society of Pennsylvania not only,
complied with the last wishes of the departed ?reel
dent, bet pet formed an act of filial duty; a duty as
spontaneous and pleasing in its discharge, as it was
, high and controlling in its obligations; and that the
anniversary bad an additional claim upon the ogee
ticos of the Society for with the slay was completed a
period of two centuries since the nativity of the illus
trious founder of Pennsylvania. Mr Tyson thencom
mented upon -the social and personal advantages of
Penn. That he was the only sow of Admiral Penn—
was educated in the University of Oaford--possessed
a striking couotenanco—fine person and refined de
meaner—powerful friends—the personal friendship of
a monarch, and the road to eminence and fame was
before him—but that for the sake of high principles,
he spurned all these advantages, and became the ob
ject of a fathees displeasure—the victim of poverty,
the inmate ate jail--and no man, not actuated by a
noble impulse and a conviction of duty, could so far a
bandon the ordinary land marks of human discretion •
or the broad path of worldly honor. The lecturer
would not comment upon the peculiar religious views
which Penn had imbibed—he would consider him as
stn historical personage only. It was well known that
England had been the scene of religious strife, conse
quent upon the Reformation. The Puritans bad ob
tained the ascendancy under Creme ell. ‘ but in turn
submitted to the restoration of Charles and the Eris
copal Church. The strong hand of the Magistiaey
was deemed the only security against error. Non
conformity
to the Church of England was resisted by
fine and imprisonment. The sufferings of the Friends
were greater thnn those of other Dissenters.—Chiefly
through the intercession of Penn and his writings,
500 1
Quakersat one time, and 1200 at another, were releas
ed from the English tails. But it was not for his own
sect he brought forthhis stores of learning and tasked
his great ability. It was for mankind. "Forre," be
sa:d, "might make bypoctites, but would make no
converts.' He appealed in behalf of freedom of re
ligious opinion and practice. The principles upon
which he proceeded bed their origin in the most enlar
ged ideas of human freedom. This apostle of the
' rights of humanity received but a poor return for his
labors. He was often the inmate of a jail for months
together, yet in the extroniity of his darkest hour, he
retained the friendship of such men as Tillotson,Locke
and Sidney. But he died admired, and descended to
the grave, honored as :he benefactor of two hemis
pheres. It was the happy lot of Pennsylvania to have
such a man for its founder—to bare its Constitution
and Laws Gained by one whom, 'pith of freedom had
enlarged with the fetters which bound him. Penn ac
cepted the charter from Charles 2d, and invited the
persecuted non-conformists to follow him to these '
' shores. In England he contended for religious totem
dun only—in his province,for "inequality of religious,
faith and opinion.
One of the great efforts of Penn's labors In Europe
was the removal of tests, as the necessary attribute'
of social freedom. The Constitution of Pennsylvania, I
as a State, adopted almost the language of Peon's
first declaration, in regard to liberty of conscience.- 1
The first gteat act of our country, as a political socie
ty, was to remove forever, the necessity - of religious
tests. The convention which framed the Constitution
of the United States, met in this city. How far the
influence of the genies Lid operated cannot be conjec
tured; but it cannot be questioned that the ideas of '
freedom, which the colony diffused, conjoined with the
spirit the revolution had created, influenced the minds
of the framers of that Instrument. Penn landed at
New Castle, from the good ship Welcome, 162 years
ego this day. Here the Lecturer referred to the ear
ly state of the country at the time of the landing. and
the privations of the first settlers. A few worthy
Swedes, Dutch, and English peopled the margin of
the Delaware—all besides wes an unbroken wilder
ness. The elm which stood bat a few years since In
Kensington, marked the spot of a memorable treaty—
a compact on which Voltaire and the Abbe Baynal
had delighted to dwell in strains of the most raptu
rous panegyric. The memory of tie good Ones yet
survives, not only among the tribes of the Susquehan
na, but among those which people the western shores
of the Mississippi. The lecturer here dwelt upon the
original plan of the city, and the advantages that
would now be derived in the security of property and
peace, had the plan been adhered to—upon the merci;
ful and lenient character of Penn's penal code—his
anxiety in regard to the horrors of English prisons,
and his determination, from the knowledge of his own
and the sufferings of his associates, to remedy this
evil in his province, and hence eventually the establish
ment of the Prison Discipline Society, and the mate-
thy and effectiveness of our Penitentiary systern,l
which bad attracted the admiration of the world.
Mr Tyson referred to the State debt, and observed
that all the glcries of the public prospects were vain,
if they were to be shadowed by the cloud of public
dishonor. It was one earnest recommendation of the
founder to his children, and the desire of his own'
heart, "to owe nothing;" and this sentiment was
sanctified in the affection of every trufgann of Penn
sylvania. He spoke of our great resources, end even
teal ability to pay the debt; and that a brighter day '
was st band. Our limits will not permit a more ex
tended notice of this interesting address.
The speaker, in conclusion, again adverted to the
city of Philadelphia, and remarked that it was from
the steps of that venerable edifice, the Declaration went
forth to the uttermost parts of the earth. It was to
this city the patriots of the revolution returned after
achieving the independence they had declared, to
form a second charter of our liberties—the Constitution
of the United States. Over that eminent convention
sat the venerable Father of his Country, and conducted
to the chair by a son of Pennsylvania--the great finan
cier of the revolution. Herein succession dwelt Wash
ington and Jefferson, and here assembled the Congress
and Senate under the Constitution. The epochs of
1644, 1682, 1776, and 1787, should be inscribed in '
letters of living light upon the historic scroll, they
were so many mementos of the classic grated on which
we dwelt, and called upon us in tones of.the deepest
eloquence to •eberish those virtual which blest it from
the first.

INCIDENT OF THE 17th
While a number of Revolutionary so!diers were
being introduced to Gen Cass, on the 17th, a citizen
of our oirn approached the General, - and addressing
him, asked if he knew him? The General replying
that he did not, he gave thifollowing account of their
first meeting. In the spring of 1819 for Meige was
beseiged by the British and Indians, and the militia
of Ohio were called out to march to the relief of the
'Fein. 'Gen Cass was appointed to the command; six
thousand assembled at Upper Sandusky; from whom
two thousand were selected to proceed on to the fort.
The woods and marshes were filled with water, and a
cold storm of rain had attended them. The com
manding General had not yet arrived, but was daily
expected. On the second day of the march a young
soldier, from exposure to the weather, was taken sick.
Unable to march in-the ranks, be followed along in the
rear. While at a distance behind, attempting, with
difficulty, to keep pace with his comrades, two offi
cers rode up, one of them a stranger. the other the
Colonel of his regiment. On passing him the Colonel
remarked to the officer "General, that poor fellow
there is.sick; be is a d—d good fellow though. for
he refuses to go back, but l'atafraid that the Indians
will scalp nim or the crows pick him, before wo
reach Fort Meigs." The arum- halted, wheeled
round his horse, and dismounted. When the young
soldier came up he addressed him, "my brave bey.
you are sick and tired, I am well and strong, mount my
horse and ride." The soldier hesitated.. "Do not
wait," said the officer, "I am used to walking and will
go on on foot," saying which he assisted him to mount
his horse, ordering him to come •to the General's
tent at night, and then proceeded on foot to join the
army.
At night the "soldiers rode to the place ordered,
where his beeefsetor welisameld him with a smile. add
the young soldier returned his thanks with tears of
gratitude. That officer was Gen Cass, and that young
soldier was the person now addressing him, our, worthy
fellow tamest's, John Lillie. The•general, retriete
boring the circumstances, immediately recognized him.
The meeting was OW of mutual interest. After Mat
ing theincident Mr Laylia remarked, " General, that
act was not done for the world to look upon, ft was
done in the woods with but three to witness it."
Norwalk Exper.
Another. —Our venerable old friend Major Parks,
upon being introduced to Gen Cue, addressed him
with enthusiasm: "General, I thank God that I am
able to see you! I fought by the side of your father,
Jonathan Cass, and your wick., Daniel Casa, at the
battle of Bunker Hill. Your father was an ensign of
the company, and I was Sergeant. We were brothers
together during the war. God bless you, General Cass,
for his sake." The scene can be better imagined than
described. The General was affected with the deepest
emotion at the meeting with the old friend and fellow
soldier of his father, while the aged veteran. with eyes
dimmed, but spirits buoyant, narrated the scenes of,
hardship and of battle through which they passed to.
getber, in the days of danger and strife—the " time
that tried men's souls." lb.
LATER FROM THE SOCIETY ISLANDS
The intelligence received by way of New Bedford,
of another battle between the French and the Natives
of Tahiti, is confirmed by the testimony. of Captain
Davenport, of the whale ship Martha, just arrived at
Newport, R I.
The New Bedford Mercury of Friday contain fur
ther particulars of the action:
June 20th. the natives assembled at Point Venus—
this beirig too near the Bay of Papeite--for general
safety. the Governor again at the head of 400 troops
marched upon them. The natives received intelli
gence of his atoproseh and placed themselves in am
bush. The natives allowed the main body to pass, bat
as the rear guard were passing in front of the English
Mission House, they opened theirfirt in a direct line
with the house. Mr M'Kean. one of the missionaries,
who was walking in his verandah, was struck by a ball
and killed instantly. His death i s
universally regret
ted. He was one of those who have lately come from
England—well educated, and one of the must respec
ted men upon the group. The action was upon the
north side of the Bay of Papeite. The native loss is
unknown. French lose, three killed and five wounded.
At the same time on the youth side, another action
took place, in which the natives were again routed. In
this action, five French were killed and seven wound
ed. Native loss unknown.
Theday following, dreamier* again advanr*d upon
the town, and before they could be met, had succeed
ed in burning the trench Mission House. Chapel, &c.
Inall these actions, it has been impossible to deter
mine with any degree of certainty the native loss.—
They have always been accustomed to remove their
dead during the action, and only those are found upon
the field, who die at point of the bayonet.
The natives are in force on all sides, and the troops
constantly under arms. The Queen had just left the
Island for Borabora.
The natives bad within the last few days seized
three Frenchmen,wbo had been for many years real•
dent upon the island, and were among them; and had
just put them to death by torture that would do credit
to the ingentety of a Ncrth American savage.
(lakes (filinois.)—A recent traveller in speaking
of this "mineral" town says, it is situated on the
northerly side of a bluff, which rises abruptly from
a marsh skirting Fever river. Its form is the segment
of a circle, and it is built on three streets rising one
above the otherso rapidly as to allow scant width for
the carriage way and sidewalks,, and a narrow strip
for the houses and stones between them. The base
of the buildings on the second street is just about on
a level with the tops of those on the front, end in like
manner the third above the second, the whole follow
ing the circular form of the bluffs. This embraces the
business part of the city. A broad deep ravine runs
northwesterly, in, on and around which the dwellings,
containg a large mass of people, are situated. So
little room is afforded for gardening that a man brag
ged of a small enclosure with a few vegetables growing
in it. He said 'it was a garden where one could raise 3
bills of corn and a cabbage.' Some of the lead mines
are within a short distance. That of Whitman and
Rice is very lucrative. Some of the names given to
the diggings are quits wising. There are, forexample,
the Democrat digging, Snake, Red Dog, Beeson, Pin
Hook, Nip and Tuck, Hard Scrable, Upper Coon,
L o wer Coon, Fair Play, Dry Bones, Blackleg, &c.
The value of the lead shipped from Galena alone, da
ring the last year, was one million of dollars, and this
is only one of the great points whets it finds its
outlet—Dubuque.blineral Point and other places, sen
ding large quantities. According to the terms of the
leases, the Government should receive one sigteeeth
of all the lead raised, but as yet the concern has run
them in debt, having never received enough to pay the
agent and other expenses."
The "mineral" is worth, delivered at the smelting
furnace, on the average, $43 per ton. It is a com
mon practice for the miners to sell at the market prix
to the smelters and receive the amount in cash, or a
stipulated weight of lead in the bar. The price of
lead here now is $2,80 to $2.85 per hundred weight.
The Chinese Ladies' Slippers.—A, pair of bean
tifugy wrought satin slippers, embroidered in gold,
and °renown with colored and golden beads, that look
as if they might have been pilfered from a seed-cup
of a bird of Paradise, have been shown us by a friend,
who procured them himself while on a recent visit to
China. Thy are exactly three inches and a quarter in
length, and are cut in the ordinary form of a bootee,
with very high and tapering heels, a la nor grand
mothers, and a steep, chubby instep, which might fit
the foot of a very plump newly-born baby. The shape
and appearance of the slipper is far from ungraceful;
and. although the wearer must of necessity find loco
motion aureately difficult, yet the ensetellateat (we
mast have that word incorporated by act. of Legisla
ture) is no greater nor mere deforming than the fash
imiable conqweisioo of that glorious natural perfection
of symmetry and the true outline of beauty—the fe
male waist. A little- familiarity with the presence of
theie disbar pedalities would render thew, we doubt
not, quite bewitching and irresistible.

A lamentable and unprecedented mortality has
befallen the servants of the Cherokee Nation.—W ith
in less than six months, the seat of the Chief Justice
of dm Supreme court, that of the President of the Na
tional Committee, end those of four Members of the
Council, have been 'vacated by death.
The National Council was to convene at Tahnush,
the seat of government, on the 7th inst. The advocate
promises a full and correct report of the proceedings.
The Os/Tee have returned from their annual visit to
the Buffalo Range. They have been very successful,
having killed a very large number of buffaloes.
A report bad been received that a skirmish took
place, out in the Buffalo Range, in the summer, between
the Little Osages and the Pawnee Mohawks, in which
this former lost one man, and the latter four.
The Advocate says:
A number of emigrants having about twenty wagons
in company, crossed the Arkansas river, near Fort
Smith, some two weeks ago, moving out of Texas to
Missouri.
A young man recently from Texas, informs us that
there is a great scarcity of bread stuffs in Lamar and
the neighboring counties.
Perfect tranquility and order reign throughout our
•country, and, so far as we know, along the whole west
ern frontier.
The National Council of the Choctaw Nation will
meet on Monday next.
We kern front the Advocate that since the report
of Gay. Butler was made out, the numb r of Public
Schools in the Nation has been increased from eleven
to eighteen, which number has beeu in operation du
ring the past year. Such intelligence is truly gratify
ing.
The principal Chief of the Nation receives only
$5OO per annum. Members of the National Council
$3 per day, and Supreme Judges $5 per day, while
their respective bodies are in session. Circuit Judges
receive (P 250 per annum, end District Judges $lOO.
- The report that Commissioners were expected to
arrive for the purpose of dividing the Cherokee Nation,
is discredited by the Advocate, which expresses the
belief that no such commissioners have been appoint

Forger drrested—Suicide.—A man named Jo
seph k..lder, a Clerk in the Bank of England. who
committed a forgery by which he obtained 18,000 in
sovereigns, and fled to this country, was arrested in
Boston on Thursday. and committed to jail; and next
morning he was found dead is his cell, having com
mitted suicide during the night by hanging himself.—
After his arrest he was examined by Solomon Lincoln.
Esq., U. S. Marshal, who found in his possession cer
tificates of Railroad, Bunk and U. S. stock to the
amount of $34,013 88 and 400 sovereigns. He was
apparently about 80years of age. A person supposed
to be an accomplice, by the name of William Burgess,
fur whose arrest a warrant has been issued, was tra
ced to Nabant, from which place he escaped in a boat
without his bat.—lb.
Electioneering Expedients.—The most exception
able feature in the whole electioneering campaign
which will be terminated in Maryland this day, is, the
attempt to enlist a foreign sectarian feeling in the pce
litical strife. We protest against the attempt, as con
trary to justice and dangerous to the country. Here
tofore neither the birth nor the religion of men base
been subjects of political friendship or hostility in this
state; and Catholics and Protestants—natives and a
dopted citizens have voted their sentiments as • con
scientious sense of right dictated, without pausing to
consider whether the candidate for whom they voted
was a native or adopted citizen; a Catholic or a Pro
testnnt. Why should these new elements be introdu
ced into political warfare? Is it desired to carry po
litical animosity to the altars of our God, and to make
us swear enmity toall who do not agree with us in re- ,
ligious belief?. We denounce any such connexion of
religion and politica as destructive of the peace of soci
ety, and the interests of the country. No man should
be called to account fur the religion which he professes.
He is in the exercise of his undoubted right, and is not
to be questioned as to his religion, whether he be Cath
olic or Protestant We caution all parties to beware
how they intermingle religion and politics. It is a
desperate and dangerous expedient, to which none
but the most reckless will resort
Batt. Clipper, Nov .4. ,
Rather hard Boardiag.—There is a singular case
hef,re the U. B. Court in Boston. A sailor named
McFadden charges the master of a Whaling Ship na
med Alden, with confining him "through malice" &c.
seven months in the run of the veuel, and feeding him
all thattime on bread and water. Ibe Post thus pic
tures the story:
"McFadden, a smart young men, about 20 years of
age, after working on a farm and in a factory in Maine,
and in a hotel in Boston, concluded to taste a little of
the "poetry of the sea," and shipped on a whaling var.
1 age. Beingagreen band, he had to be broke in to
the use of handspikes heal repel, and to the digesting
of ses.cookery. Generally speaking, the provisions
on board wbaleships are not quite so appetising as are
used in Boston hotels, nor are handspikes so easy to i
handle as shoe or clothes brushes. And, more that?!
this, captains of while/hips are not always, when at I
sea, so polite to the hands, as are men in authority
ashore. They curse • little and very loud, and occa-
literally use the first to enforce attention to orders. In
all these particulars the Bruce was no exception to the
general average, and McFadden soon got tired of the
cooking, the cursing, and the cuffing, and at Norseby,
Madagascar, he deserted, but was retaken in twenty
lour hours.
After he was taken on board be positively and deli
berately refused to return a duty. The captain gave
him his choice to work, or be confined in the run on
bread and water. He chose the harsh alternative,nnd •
stuck to it seven months, his place of confinement be
ing as far aft in the bold as he could be stowed, and
where becould not even sit upright. By consenting to .
go to work, be could at any time have been released
I from confinment. But be was determined to "tough
it out," and repeatedly rejected the captain's proposi
tion. Occasionally, he wai supplied by the stealth
with some extra food by the cook or others of the
crew, but in the main his diet was bread and water,
and he became very much emaciated and enfeebled,
and is still suffering from the effects of his severe con
finement and longdeprivation of suitable nourishment."
While relating his story on the stand, he appeared
to be desirous of stating things fairlyband the counsel
for the defendant frankly accorded to him this merit—
an important one in a witness testifying in his own
case. The case is not yet decided.
Monongahela Beek Notes.—We have had an op.
portunity of examining some new and beautiful notes
that have just been obtained by the Monongahela
Bank, at Brownsville, Pennsylvania. They are of the
denominations of five, ten, and twenty dollars. The
fives have the figure of a country girl for a vignette.
She is 'sated in the centre of the figure five, end has
a bundle of wheat in her arms. The ends are alio
beautifully embellished. The tens base a country seen*
for a vignette—a group about to take a meal in logic
style, while a wagon and horses are in the back ground.
The twenties have the genius of America for a vignette,
and the right end is embellished with a portrait of
Wasbingtort--the left that of a lady. The engravers,
Toppan, Carpenter & Co., of Philadelphia, enjoy
much reputation for their skill, and deservedly. Their
bank note plates are indeed beautiful, arid defy the in
genuity of the counterfeiter.
Grapkic.—Willis. in his Evening Mirror, describ
ing the great Democratic torchlight procession in New
York on Friday evening, has the following. The last
touch is particularly graphic:—
"A vessel with all sail set was heading up the
Bowery; hundreds of horses with white rums'-cloths
dashed hitherand thither; a fire engine made • superb
show, with a Drummond light on the top and the fire
men in their red shirts and glazed caps; flaming sticks
with boys to them dashed hither and thither; pocket
pistols were discharged; perpetual three cheers were
given for reasons best known to the proposers; the
steps of the "entering wedge" building of the Coite
Francis and American Tract &Party, were triple•
rowed with female spectators, and in the middle of the
street, situated lake a buoy among breakers, a man
quietly sold oysters '"
Thotiottical Quackery of Miss' Cluster.--Chs the
quackery bf-her system of doing tragedy, a most
whimsical and generally accredited anecdote is on
merit While Miss Chester was at York, one even
ing. having to perform a serious scene of Lady Town
ley, in the comedy of the "Provoked Husband," she
I was observed, between the fourth and fifth sets, in •
rather retired part behind the wing,. sobbing And
moaning, and beating her bosom in a must unusual
manner for an actress Dot en 'treas. . One of doe aes
tors very kindly asked her the cause of the grief so
painfully expressed; she replied, not in words, butrape
tionecl him to begone, and then sighed azaf , aioasied
more enthusiastically and viciferously than before.—
The good natured actor, alarmed ate pretty wftaiiiits
grief, entreated her toretire to her dressing room, and
lei the other ladies assist to console her; on which she
suddenly suspended her tones of grief, and snappish
ly exclaimed, "Go along, sir,—leave me—for 1 ant
working up my feelings for the lust scene." This be
came a byeword and a jest among the frequenters of
the green room.—Our Adreues.
Probably.—The following language ii ascribed to
the Duke of Richmond, while Governer of the .Cana
des, and is reported by Mr H G Gates, of Montreal.
who was present when it was utterer':
The Duke, a short time prior to his death, bespeak
ing of the Government of the United States, said: '•lt
was weak, inconsistent and bad, and could not loncen
ist. It will be destroyed; it ought not, and will not
be permitted to exist; for many and great are the evil*
that have originated from the existence of that
government. The curse of the French Revouludea.
and subsequent wars and commotion' in Europe, are
attributed to its example, and so long us it valets,
no mince will be' safe upon his throne and the sove
reigns of Europe are aware of it, and they ever deter

understanding on the subject, and have determined
on the means to accomplish it; and they will evetaireti•
