THE HORSE ABATTOIRS OF PARIS.
Few things are more productive of melancholy than
the Totrittion and fate of horses in the latter days of
Their career. No matter how usefulthey may hove
been, what years of coil they may have endured, we
hod them-at last dismissed without regret, and sold
for a few shillings, or what their mere sk in, flesh, bones
ss ocher pens are worth. Thus, in London, arid al
to in Paris, there are large estahlishments funning the
abattoirs of horses—place., of course, whence all sen
timents of pity are banished, and where the once
steak and heluced animals are deprived of existence,
in the midst of scenes which reflect little credit on
;humanity.
Few men have any idea of the vast extent of the ,
bowl abattoirs at Montraticon, in Paris. To this
place all horses past service are conducted. Worn
usually to skin and bone, they come in strings of
twelve or twenty, are huddled inlo a stable where they
cannot stir, or are left in the open ail, tied to the car.

number of horses, living and dead, are brought to
Momfaucon annually; the winter season, when the

found that thirty-five came to the slaughter-house '

of them came in life. As, in the same year, the total i
number of horses in Paris amounted to 20.500 anti

The Lost Pie.—lt was many years ago, Irate mid
dle aged matron and her maiden sister, on the approach
-of Thanksgiving, were in the midst of preparation for
that annual festival. It was late in the evening ; the
opaciouskitchen seemed all too small for the vast
quantities of delicacies it contained. Often had the
various kinds of pies been drawn from the ample oven,
-and deposited on dresser, table, in admirable confusion.
From early morning to this late hour, had the mistress
of all this good cheer been laboring hard, and DOW she
threw her portly and wearied form into the great arm
chair, to view her treasures. She carefully counted
•iaysr• /maples, and la! one was gone ! She knew the

grew warm with agitation, end it seemed to her that
an unwonted warmth also came from the seat of the
arm chair. She arose to cool bcr body and calm her
troubled spirit, when a acre= from Becky,the mai

CCP The Gazette of yesterday contains an account
of a riot that took place in the vicinity of Georgetown,

disposed citizen. We hope it may hare the effect of
causing the Deacon to pause end reflect on the conic
quences.cf his eforts to induce the people to "fight
on." Here are five lives lost by following the bloody
policy advocated by the Gazette, and we ate appre

among those who, like the edi•or of that journal, think
that the people should "if:kg on --fight ever."
For the sake of peace, we again command our co

somebody.
WHAT WAS Tiff Rat Asorit—ln looking Met the pro
ceedings of the late Whig Convention, that nominated
William .1 Howard for Mayor, we do not find thatthey
said one wend in favor of the Bible. Many citizens
who areattached to the wbig cause, and who were in
duced during the last contest for Governor, to believe
that the whip fah some sincere veneration for the sa
cred valume,thinkit strangethat their Bible zeal should
have evaporated so anon, and that in bringing out their
candidates now, they should net give the public some
assurance that they are still willing to "defend their
Bible and their - Flag" against the wicked "emmissa
ries of the Pope" and the impious infidels who scoff at
all religion. This oversight may do great injury• to Mr
Howard*, prospects, if not corrected.
Imo' The information of the Age, respecting the
nominations in the 3d ward, on last Saturday evening,
is not correct. The nominations were made (flirty
and honorably, and no one who was interested in the
proceedings thought of taking the slightest advantage
of his competitors. Such a silly. misrepresentation as
the Age gives of the proceedings, is a poor set off for
the disorganization that masts in the "Native" faction.
CONCERT of THE DICNOCRATIC GLEE CUM.—This
entertainment was excellent, and reflected much cred
it nn the young gentlemen who took part in it. Some
of them are possessed of musical abilities, far superior
to many singers who travel about the country giving
fashionable concerts, and delighting fashionable audi
ences. Witheyt wishing to be invidious, where ■ll
did so well, we may remark that the young gentlemen
who sang "Hunter, spare that Coon," has a taste and
a talent for singing that might awaken the envy of ma
ny stars in the musical line. Tbe house was not so
full as the friends of the Club could have wished, and
We heard it suggested that they should repeat the per

LATER FROM RIO JANEIRO.
By the brig Fabiu4, Captain White, arrived at this
port on Saturday, we have dates from Rio de Janerie
to t be'2 4di uf October. We Maks rim fellowing extracts
from a /attlear.ebe ratriMA—Buie.
We again vraitupon you with oar monthly advice..
Business of all kinds, this month, has been very active,
both in imports and exports. Large qutintitiet'of
goods have been takenoff, at somewhat improved *i
ces, by almost all the shop-keepers, who. fearing high
er prices after the new tariff 'may be enforced next
month, sod calculating how indifferent they may be in
their payments. have had no hesitation in supplying
themselves with heavy stocks. Under such circuitm•
stances, we are anxious to impress caution in shipping
this way, as we see no probability of there being a
want of any one article, or a demand likely to rise up
to take ea ay the surplus of shipments which have been
made, %khaut any regard to consumption; among
which, flour, ale and porter, wines, oils, and breathes,
may bu most particulat ty noted.
The elections fur the new Chambers, to meet in
January next, have caused partial disturbances in the
provinces. which, we are happy to say, have however,
been subdued by the activity of the gown nnwnt here,
and we have no reason to fear any thing occurring
likely to disturb the general tranquility of tire country.
The war at Rio Grande still continues in thet same
Vale of apathy which has been 'wird for year', and
the rumors of war between ibis and La Plate have
gradually died away. By our last dates from that
quarter. things remained in the same distressing slate,
end at Montevideo there was no business transacting.
Rour.—lmpurtations still continue much above the
current demand, and fresh supplies bays made the old
stork remain without inquiry; large sales have been
made durint the month, both foe consumption and ex•
port ; leaving a stock of 23.000 bbls. in first bands.—
At the moment, it is impossible to effect sales; and sev
eral vessels are daily expected. No improvement is
likely to take place in the article, unless shipments
cease fur at least three months. We quote new Rich
t:nand at 151 a 161 per bill. ; Baltimore 1211 a 191500;
800 bbls. us. Trieste having been sold at 161500 per

■gain.t the same lest year 112,478 herS. This month
there have alrende been shipped to Europe, 46,486
hags ; to the United States 27,089 bags. There era
hardly any of the low qualities on hand ; and 10.000
bags estimated mock in market. Tercels of washed
coffee appear now and then upon the market, but the
prices asked are, in our opinion,exarbitently high, fay
from 41 to 51. We quote superior at 31250 ex. 231;
29 1 s:crling por cwt onboard; good first 21900 ex.

elapsed since we read the manifesto of that caeen

A piece of Cool Roseality.—One day last week,
two respectable looking persons went into the Nord'
River Bank in New York, the Morning News says,
and asked for a blank check, stepped to a desk, when
one of them filled it up to the other's order. The lat
ter Laving endorsed ir, presented it for payment to the
first Teller. That officer not recognizing his face, ins
quired—" This your check, sir?" He answered, "No
—this gentleman's. (turning to his companion,) my
endorsement." The Teller, looking et the respects,
Me appearance, and quite cool manner of the parties,
and supposing it wes some new account, paid the
check, without further delay, being much pressed by
busineos at the moment: and they left the bank. Up.
on inquiry. he found that neither of them had ever bed
any account there. Presuming from the smallness of
the sum and the air and dress of the parties, it must
have been merely a mistake, a message was sent to the
Merchants' Exchange Bank, on the opposite corner,
to inquire if there was not an account there; bat with
a similar result. Nothing more has since been beard
in the matter.
On the 4th of July last, as per the "Yankee Blade,"
a thrilling speech was made at Lancaster, Wisconsin.
The speaker, after stating that Europe, was no war,
that she was a mere obsolete idea in comparison to us,
proceeded in this fashion:—
'•lf young America then in the cradle, strangled the
British Lion, and afterwards bucked John Bull into
the briny gulf of Mexico, with what ease can our coun
try, now in the giant strength of manhood plant its
flag on the shores of the Pacific, seise Quebec and
falter, blockade the English channel, and plant the
stars and stripes upon t h e Tower of London. (Loud
cheerios.) Americans! Remember that your coun
try was born in blond, baptized in gore, cradled in the
war hoop, and bird to the rifle and bowie knife. We
have fort our way up. First came the war of the rev
olution. The colonies cut their way out of it, through
blood and carnage and thunder. They tore their blan
ket wide qping. Onst or twist it looked like a mighty
slim chance: but they cm and seared, and sore, and
*lathered away like blues. (Cheering.)
They grappled ,Tohn Bull like a pack of bull terriers,
They tuck him by the haunches; they grappled his
wore pipe, and at last they made him bellow like
bloody thunder. Washington sheathed the sword.—
The gentle olive branch of peace waved bet greets
and luxuriant foliage in majesty over the shores of
Columbia; and foreigners Rocked in and built their
nests with us aroongits sheltered boughs. But a few
more years had rolled away dawn the railroad track
