the following interesting statemenlxif le frm
iuintc cause of foor Clarke's death:
It M well known that the weakest jxiiut in
Clarke's me4i'a.l (institution, not excepting e-
ven Lis exaggerated itlta f Jiis HM.tical rtipa
city, wan an cMrctnc piisteUKiility in the
matter of tin; 'tender passion. In fact lie was,
or funcied hluistll, always in love with emiue
real or iningitiary charmer ; und withal lie had
a strong inclination to believe the real or ima
ginary charmers as much in luve AMih hiin.
On this subject, rf on no other, lie was decided
ly insane ; and many of us no doubt rciucmtftT
the absurdities he committed and the mortifica
tions .lie was iihjoolcd to, in 'fonniar year, uiw
der the influence of this morbid feeling. It was
at this weak point of his idioyncracy thnt the
person above alluded to assailed him.
To intimations that some .youug and lovely
lady 'had 'looked upon him with interest and fa
vor, poor Clarke always listened with credulous
avidity.; and such intimations were poured in
to lii excitable mind by the person above allu
ded to. The lady :in. question young, beauti
ful and rich- is a daughter of one of our most
luspectdblc families, living in ltroadway ; .of
course we noed scarcely say thut llie-ue'tiuide
of her name was entirely false and unwarran
ted. Hut to Clarke the tale was given as a de
lightful and unquestionable truth; and the un
worthy deception was carried out by ithe tVoi i
calion of a pretended correspondence. ,lu pro
ccss.ol'.time.Clurke iiiilotally became. eager ir
an interview; aud one wnsjirjmisid him. n
the appointed evening .Suturduy, .t'elnuaty Vi
he went to the house in company ith his
deceiving friend ; but on the way the la'.ter.cgn
fessed that he had s;iokeu falsely in claiming
acquaintance witii the lady that he could not
personally effect an introduction -but thai he,
Clarke, was e,peted, and would be admitted
on sending in a token with which the friend
provided him. Arrived ut the door, the decei- j He had led me a. chose of half a mile or more,
vcr hastily withdrew, and, Clarke, in undonbt- wbeni left him busily grazing, ond returned to
itig CQiiIideiwc, requekfd to see the lady, re- ! "ty little solitary bivouac, nnd laid mysef on
plying to the answer that she was engaged, by j "iy bear-ekin and went to sleep,
sending in the token w ith .which lie hud. been - -'la the middle of alio night 1 waked, whilst
furnished. Of course the odmiwsion'hc expect- j I was laying on my baik, and on half opening
ed was denied him, and perhaps with some dc- . my eyes, I was instantly shocked to the soul,

The immediate ,cfv;t .Uxn.CIarke's mind staiiding over jne, and jji the very instant of

that lie was laboring under excitement ukm to

be takwi caro of. It was Uiv;i rraMiiug violent
ly. Bowyer Unik hiui(to:Uie watch-house at

of Uie.JLovpcrs. .He waH.adjniUud,ijto.the ge

king some disturbance and causing no huJe
trouble, was in the course of ilia night, very im-
properly thrust into one of the small .cells in
Uie iwicr, prison, whre ho -remained WHtilUie
xt. day, (Thursday,) at 11 o'clock; Justice
l'urker then heard that he had been taken up,
or,lq8rned jt from the watch returns, and im-

wus standing, naked,, in , the corner of the cell,
up to his ankles in the water, his clothes, which
ho Juidi thrown upon the, floor, w ere literuUv
Leoakud, 04ul ho was shivering with mortal cold ;
but still a wild and raving maniac.
He was instantly removed to a warm bed,
dry clothes were procured for him from the
Carltoivl louse, and as soon us, possible he was
placed, in . a carriage and taken lo tho, Lunatic
Asylum on Black well's Island. There his
maniacal cxci'.euient was so greatthut.it wus

to the quehtious that w ere aked hiin. On lie-
ingjaformed by the physician that he would

Suubury IVurlluinibcrlaud f'o,
was M'iUiiig Mid ready that deatii w ould be
a blessing -and on Saturday inoming at five
o'clock lie expired.
The immediate cause .of ilcnth waserisypelas
of the head, but the rouwte cause wos tindouht
cdly tlie cj.ir'J .artifice played olT iixm him by
the person whose Aianic yve as yet s.upjti'es.
Mr. CiitUn, in his new work on the North A
n eriean lml ans, relates the fjlowing iniere-tinp
aneedoto of his horse "Chailey," aiolile annual ol
the Cain. ox lice wild breed :
Kin this jouriiPiy, .while he and 1 wre twenty-live
days alone, we had much time, and the
best of circumstances, undr ,w,hiei to learn
what w e had as yet overlooked in each .other's
.characters, as well as to draw great pleasure
and .rtal benefit from viat we already had
learned ol each other in our former travels.
'J general y halted ,ui the bank of some lit
tle stream, ut liKif-anyhour of sunset, here
feed .was good for Charley, and whe.ee i could
get wood to kindle my fire, and water for my
coffee. The ftrijt.tltiiig .was to undress 'Charley,'
and drive down his .picket, to ,whioii il.e .was
fastened, to graze over a circle that he could
insorihe ut the end of is In so. 'In tins wise
lie .busily futlihimself until nightfall ; aud alter
my coll'eo was made and drank, I uniformly
moved him tip, with his picket by my head, so
that I could lay uty Jiutid .upon his laso in an
instimt, in case of any nlutni that was liable to
drive'him from me. t)n one of these evenings
when he was pri zing as usua.1, he slipped the
laso over Ins head, and deliberately togk his
supper at his pleasure, wherever he choose to
prefer i', as he was strolling uroind. When
night appro'ichud., I took the luso in iumd nnd
endeavoured to catch him, but I soon saw thai
he was determined to enjoy a little freedom;
and he continually evaded me until dark, w)ieu
I abandoned the pursuit, making up my mind
that I should inevitably lose him, jind be obli

The KiiNslau Serl IIIh t'oiMllllon.,
The follow ing is extracted from a lec

ister lo Russia. Jt pictures to;lheijfe
the character of the Russian Serf. Of
jJUe.tn, there are no less than forty mil
lions, iw.enty of whom belong ,to the
Ktnpcror Nicholas-;
"Imagine a human being ,coycred,

hard wood scoped out, era kind of sock
of pebbled pliable bar k he has hung
at his back a kind of axe or hatchet',
and his extcrio.r is altogether liash',
soiled or dirty, atid repulsive. A may
thus characterized and babied sudden
ly appearing in our streets, ,o,r ,ii anv
part of the country, would avakcn n.t
once a!a,roi and pity, tts .s(n0 escaped
wanderer from the cells .of lunacy or
crime. In the moral aqd mental quali
ties of the Russia n'serf, there are min
gled traits of good and evil, lie is mild
and amiable, but imbecile and servile.
To the profonndest ignorance and vilest
superstition, ihe unites a Chinese imita

frightful extreme of physical exjisury
and privation. lie is coiitqrjt .with a.
block of wood ,or stone for a pillow, a
plank for his .couch, and some black
bread and onions for daily meals. Like
our western savage, he yields al eve.ry
opportunity to allurements of intoxica
ting drpik. -in .the presence ,ot power
he falls prostrate in the dust, propitia-.
ting safety or kindness from this 'supe
jiors,.inthe most disgusting servility.

destiny, he is utterly unconscious tha
there exis'.s happier or.fcircr regions op
the earth, he loye his. country wilh en-,
thusiastic and .utibountled ardor, anl
when .lighting lis battles abroad, he is
almost a .wjliing victim to tlj enemy,
