A case of seduction, fraught iviih'uncominon; interest, was before the sheriUVjury on Mon day evening, for the assessment of damages,1 the defendant having allowed judgment to be taken by default. The parties had sustained the most exemplary character ; both being high ly respectable and well educated.'the defendant having travelled extensively, and being withal a gentleman of winning manners and address. What renders the recital the more painful is the fact that the acquaintance of the parties commenced in a Sunday school, the seducer being the secretary of the school, and the young lady a teacher. We are told that he prosecuted his design upon her for mouths, with all the art of the most accomplished roue, amid the most earnest protestations of honorable designs and the most solemn pledges of mar riage, lie succeeded in winning the affections of his victim to the deepest recesses of her heart, and although, like other villains, having gratified his passion, he has flung her like " a loathsome -weed away," yet she, a. mother now of seven mouths, loves him with all the ardor and singleness of woman's heart. The damages claimed in the declaration we're TEN THOU SAND DOLLARS ; and of so aggravated a character did the sheriff's jury consider the case, after a full examination, that they awar ded the whole amount. Com. Ado. Texas and Mexico. The Southern mail of Tuesday brought us highly interesting intelligence. The advices from Galveston are to the 29th tilt. It seems that Santa Anna has formally proposed a Treaty of Peace with Texas. J. W. Robinson, Esq. arrived at Galveston on the 26th, and was to leave immediately for Washington, to lay be fore his Excellency the President "the basis" upon which the war between Mexico and Texas may possibly be terminated, which basis or propositions emanate from and bear the signature of Gen. Santa Anna, President of Mexico. 1st. It is proposed that Texas should ac knowledge the sovereignty of Mexico. 2d. A general act of amnesty to be passed for past acts in Texas. 3d. Texas to form an independent depart ment of Mexico. 4th. Texas to be represented in the general Congress. 5th. Texas to institute, or originate all local laws, rules and regulations. 6th. No Mexican troops, under any pretext whatever, to be stationed in Texas. Explanation of a Wonder. A communication recently appeared in the Boston Transcript, stating that a deaf and dumb gentleman of Hartford named Leclerc, requested the writer to sit on the opposite side of the room in which they both 'were, and without opening his lips, or using pen or pa per, he (the writer) could communicate his thoughts to the deaf and dumb gentleman, and by crossing the room, find them written on his slate, word for word. This was repeatedly done. The following explanation has since been given : " I was told by the gentleman, to write my thoughts in the air, with my forefinger, as rapidly as I pleased. I did so ; and they were J T accurately wnuen on wiu Mate, ii aecuis, that from long practice in reading the telegraph ic language of the deaf and dumb, this gentle man had acquired a quickness of sight, which enabled him to read the evanescent writing in the air, made by my forefinger. That rapidity of sight was the most wonderful part of the teat. An Experimental Philosopher. A lad of 14 years old attempted to commit suicide by hanging himself, near Buffalo. He was discovered before life was quite extinct. He gave a a reason that he was thinking of the deaih of his father, (who, about six years ago, Jiung himself in Bennington,) and thought he would just try how it would feel to hang by the neck.
