TIVIPORTANT TO EVERY ONE.-STIR LING'S STOMACH PILLS, for Health and Longevity.-- An emir_ent medical writer has remarked, and experience has proved the fact beyond dispute, that those who are attentive to keeping the Stomach and Bowels in proper order, preserve health, prevent disease, and generally attain cheerful and healthy old ago • for that desirable purpose, these PILLS are particularly adapted, being pre pared with the Sulphate of Quinine, and the most choice stomachic and aperient drugs of the Materia Medics. They have, in all cases, proved superior to every other medicine in the cure of stomach and liver complaints, loss of appetite, indigestion, sensation of fulness, and oppression after meals, flatulence, shortness. of breath, spasms, and all disorders ire - ident to the stomach and bowels, and an excellent restorative after any excess or too free indulgence at the table, a s they g sntly purge and cleanse the bowels, strengthen the stomata, improve digestion, and invigorate the whole constitu tion. Females who value good health should never be without them, as they purify the blood, remove obstructions, and give the skin a clear, healthy, and blooming appearance. Persons of a plethoric habit, who are subject to head-ache, giddiness, dimness of sight,- drowsiness, or have too great a flow of blood to the head, should take them frequently. They do not contain mercury, or any ingredient that requires confinement or restriction of diet. They should be kept in every family, as a remedy in cases of sud den Hinds, for, by their prompt administration, cholera morbus, *ramps, spasms, fevers, and other alarming complaints, which too often prove fatal, may be speedily cured or prevented.

Belief in the existence of the fountain of youth, from which those who bathed in its waters gained a pristine energy, was among the speculations of the 15th century ; it will, however, serve as no inapt type of the revivifying powers of art and medicine. Those who, early victims to a morbid imagination, have sought fatally to anticipate the purposes of nature, and have consequently lapsed into a state which brings with it weakened ca pabilities and clouded hopes, may by timely application to profes sional treatment, regain those first, noblest., and best of powers that have been compromised by the criminal propensities of " guilty soli tude." the progress of which is marked by the " lympliatica sone nia' ofPliny, attended with bodily weakness and mental apathy. We may indulge a natural exultation in referring to our daily core respondence with grateful and convalescent patients, not confined to our own country, but diffused over the whole world. For twenty five years has our peculiar treatment in cases of Nervous Debility proved eminently successful, and we have hitherto resisted the earnest solicitations of our patients to publish their cases in a public address: the following, however, has been so urgently pressed upon us by a medical friend, that we have yielded to an importunity suf ficiently excusable by the gratitude it evinces : " Dear Sirs--My fondest hopes are realized ! Accept my most neartfelt thanks ; words are inadequate to express my unbounded gratitude. May you long live to reap the rich reward of your labours in the treatment of that class of diseases which have hitherto baffled the skill of your medical brethren. " Ncv. 1832." Your's, most sincerely, L. H." There are many disorders of the generative system .(which, when tampered with the above, may be termed subsordinate) that are consequent upon the too free and indiscriminate indulgence of the passions, exhibiting in some, debility from excess, in others, the relaxing effects of a tropical climate, and in many, indeed in how many, the various maladies which afflict the student, the misan thrope, the gay, the dissipated, and the libertine. In all these cases our practice, which embraces every grade in society, from the man of rank to him of the humblest sphere, has been uniformly successful ; and as secrcsy belongs to our profession, the most deli cate and diffident may apply without fear or hesitation. MESSRS. GOSS and Co. are to be consulted every day at their residence; and Patients in the remotest part of the Country can be treated successfully on transmitting their report which will be immediately answered; these must contain a remittance for Advice and Medicine, describing minutely the case, which can be forwarded to any part of the wo r ld, h owever di s t an t.. ,No difficulty can 'occur, as the _Medicines will be securely packed, and carefully pretected from observation.

JANUARY 20, 1535, THE FRENCH AND ENGLISH PRESS. (From the Mor;.ing Advertiser.) Our attention has been drawn to an article in the Morning Post of yesterday, imputing the opposition of its contemporary of the Chronicle, as well, we presume, as that of the anti-ministerial press generally,. to the disap• pointment of various pleasant expectancies of Commissioner ships and other good things, the lamentable consequence of the expulsion of a liberal Ministry. The assumption is charitable enough, and might easily be retorted, but let that pass as an argunientum ad hominem which cuts with two edges, if at all, and is the affair of the Chronicle rather than ours. Our object in alluding to the subject is merely by way of peg, to hang some remarks upon, touching the comparative position of the gentlemen of the press here and in France, at present and retrospectively, and their actual position in this country compared with their standi ng some very few years ago. We propose to state facts rather than to raise an argument. Before the Revolution of July the press had attained, and almost monopolized, political power and public opinion in France ; its conductors were looked upon as the equals — na y, more than the equals—of Ministers of State. That great social event only confirmed its importance, and the immediate result was, to raise some of its ablest conductors to the first offices in the Government. Moral influence impartied personal consideration ; and we have - ^c been witness, in high society, when Casimir Pe- Minister, has stood in the circle with than - Prime • 1, onour, whilst Cauebois Le scarcely a satellite to do or ‘lalvandv of mire, then editor of the Constitution,..... were s'ur the Journal des Debars, or Camel, of the N i ationa., • ~ rounded by admiring throngs, hanging with devoted attentio.., , and in silence the most profound, upon the wisdom or the eloquence flowing from their lips. Numberless were the Prefectures, the Sub-prefectures, and other responsible em ployments to which men of the press were elevated, and in many instances most deservedly ; the list would be too nu merous even could we pretend to give it from memory. We shall content ourselves with' selecting a few names which now figure in the Councils, in employments, or in the Chamber of Deputies, since the accession of the Citizen King : M. GUIZOT; formerly one of the Editors of the Globe, is Minister of Public Instruction. The Duc DE BROGLIE, his co-Editor, was lately Minister for Foreign Affairs. M. - TIIIERS, late Editor of the National, is Minister of the interior. M. ETIENNE, Editor of the Constitutionnel, is Vice-Presi lent of the Chamber of Deputies. M. CHATEACERIAND, one of the Editors of the Journal des Debats, and formerly Minister for Foreign Affairs. M. BERTiN, one of the Editors of the Journal des Debats, holds an office. the title of which we forget ; but the duties of which, like those of our Lord Chamberlain, relate to a super intendence of the Theatres and the Opera. M. BA RTIN DE VAL•X, principal Editor of the same journal, was lately Ambassador to the Hague, and has been created a Peer. M. SALVANDY, another Editor of the same journal, is a Member of the Chamber of Deputies. M. LAFITTE, a proprietor and writer in the Journal du Com merce, was three years ago Prime Minister of France, and is now a Member of the Chamber of Deputies. Here we close the account, although there are various other conductors of the press situated as honourably. In England, the press and its managers have been, until of late, most unaccountably depreciated in the social scale. Wielding a power inferior to that of no interest in the State, and perhaps superior to all, vulgar prejudice and the jealousy of the higher powers have alike combined to force them down and keep them down. But the empire of mind will, in the long run, assert its sway. Public opinion begins to do justice, tardily, to an interest and to a class of vital consequence to the great interests of all, because of all the direct voice and undeniable representatives. Justice is slow, but sure, and in the following statement of the prefer ment of men, whose only claims are those of having served the public cause, or the.interests of their party well, faith fully, and ably, there are just grounds for expectation that . the services of a body of men for talent unsurpassed in the empire, for experience and industry rarely equalled, may be still more extensively called into action for the advantage of the nation. Lord BROUGHAM, formerly a Chief Editor of the Edinburgh Review, Lord High Chancellor of England. The Right Hon. J. W. CROXER, one of the Editors of the Quarterly, late Secretary of the - Admiralty. The Right Hon,. F. JEFFREY, Chief Editor of the Edin burgh Review, late Lord Advocate of Scotland. Mr. ROEBUCK, one of the Editors of the Westminster Re view, a Member of Parliament. E. L. BULWER, Esq., late Editor of the Monthly Maga zine, a Member of Parliament. Of the newspaper press, the far higher and more influ ential branch of political literature, the following facts may be recorded : JOHN WALTER, Esq., the Proprietor and late Editor of the Times, a Member of Parliament for a county. Mr. GROTE, Proprietor of the Chronicle, Member for the City of London. Colonel TOREENS, Proprietor and one of the Editors 'of the Globe, Member of Parliament, holding some place beside. Mr. PRAED, Editor of the Morning Post, Member of Par liament and Secretary to the India Board. COBBETT, Editor of the Register, and Member of Parliament. Mr. BAINES, of the Leeds Mercury, Member of Par liament. Mr. COULSON, formerly Editor of the Globe, one of the late Commissioners for inquiring into the Poor Laws.

Besides many others, who have ably served in various commissions and other capacities, which it would take up too much of our space to enumerate. We shall be pardoned, in conclusion, for stating that the Editor of this journal might have been placed in the pre sent Parliament, free of expense, if his ambition had that way tended. The offer was made, and declined. ~.T .W ADMIRAL NA PIE R.—When the enemy's fleet first hove in sight on the sth of July, the breeze was so light that Napier could not get near it, and he asked certain steamers to tow him towards the enemy ; the mercenary captains of which said, " Yes, if you will pay us 2,0001. each." However, •le gallant old fellow, named Wilson, joined the Admiral with a steamer without fee or reward, remained near his Excellency during the action which ensued, ready to tow him out of it, if it had been requisite to haul off to repair damages ; and was afterwards rewarded with a share of prize-money and a long brass gun, with which he used to paddle up to the enemy " end on," blaze away, and " back out " again. A four• knot breeze enabled the Queen's squadron to attack the enemy without the assistance of steamers ; and as the Admiral closed to engage, he called all hands aft on the quarter deck of the Rainha, and pointing to the Miguelite fleet, " Now, my lads," said he " is'nt that a fine sight? Go to your quarters ; I give you half an hour to take them." His Excellency finished his part of the work in half an hour, by flinging himself with his crew on the deck of the Don John, and his coadjutors were not backward in aiding him to finish with the rest of the enemy's ships. Cholera broke out in the fleet soon after the action, the Don John losing 80 men on the voy age to Lisbon from St. Vincent. The patients were laid two and two between the guns in the smaller vessels, and for want of proper medicines, the surgeons bandaged the patients trunks, le and arms, and gave them so me l au d anum . I n the V i ll a Flor, ten out of twenty-five were saved in this way. It ought not to be passed over without notice, the judicious manner in which the Admiral conducted himself after capturing the Mi guelite fleet. Instead of wounding the feelings of the anti constitutional party, when he entered the Tagus, by carrying the prize -flag„ the blue and white of the Queen, over the blue and red of Miguel, he merely hoisted the Queen's colours. He also reinstated in command of their vessels the Miguelite officers who had fought them best ; on which some one re- marked to him, " That's not j u di c i ous ; suppose these men were to turn against you?" " Well," says Napier, "we'll fight them again, that's all." The Admiral sometimes made a triumphal entry to a place, seated on an ass or mule, cocked hat athwart ships, and cutlas by his side. At one of the towns of the Algarve, where the Mayor or Corporation came off to pay him homage, and had prepared a laurel crown for his Ex cellency, he impatiently called out, whilst waiting in the cabin to receive them, " Come, bear a hand with the ceremony." , 1- , ,, . 7 •:••:I,l'Mtjo "e; -' • , ' it: - 7--(37 " --- - - -5,.: PRICE 7D. EAST SURREY ELECTION. The Tories here are now pursuing a new system of tactics. Instead of misrepresenting Mr. Briscoe, as was their plan a few days ago, they are now endeavouring to lower Major Beauclerk in the opinion of the constituency. A hand-bill has been profusely circulated among the elec tors, extravagantly eulogizing Mr. Briscoe and Captain Alsager, and depreciating, in a like proportion, the talents and services of Major Beauclerk. It is to be hoped, how ever, that the electors of East Surrey xvill have good sense enough to see through the paltry manoeuvre, and defeat the cunning machinations of the Tories. Incredible exertions were made during the day to place Mr. Alsager at the head of the Poll. It is generally thought, however, that they yesterday exerted all their strength, and that very few voters will poll for them to-day. The aggre gate state of the poll from Reigate, Kingston, Croydon, and Camberwell, amounted to— Alsager Briscoe..., Beauelerk ... 1,039 871 647 Majority —242 A band of desperate-looking fellows, wearing the colours of Captain Alsager, were Stationed from an early hOur round the hustings at Camberwell, and by their uproar and hootings endeavoured to intimidate the liberal voters. By the exertions, however, of the Returning Officer, order was in some measure restored, and fair play allowed to every voter. At the close of the polling at Camberwell, Major BEAuer4aK:camesforivard, and was received with continued cheering. He said he had reason 'to believe his opponent had brought up his whole strength that day, and had thus been placed at the head of the poll'; but he was happy to state to them that one-half of the electors had not • "-d. He regretted they had held b ac k as th ey h a d Y et P ° " - -ho id • • forward • u ,cromein a manly way and done. Tiles , Jezir, hear.)

He was not disposed to accuse Mr. Alsager or ?;is com mittee, yet it was so, and he could prove it—(Shame)—::: could not, however, believe Mr. Alsager would lend himself to such practices.—(Hear, hear.) He had canvassed Mr. Bosaufoy, of South Lambeth, a gentleman of affluence and independence, and one who was opposed to him at the last election—(hear, hear).L-but on the present occasion he had come forward and supported him, in consequence of the unfair acts of those by whom he was opposed.—(Cheers.) This gentleman was neither a Tory nor a Destructive. He (Major B.) had addressed a large number of the agricul tural electors on Saturday last in the town of Croydon, when they passed a unanimous resolution in his and his col league's favour, promising them their support. He after wards dined with them, and it was gratifying to him to say tile same encouraging support was spontaneously offered. He would assure the gentlemen present, that although he was not the first upon the poll that day, he felt confident that to-morrow would give them a decided majority.— (Cheers.) It was only necessary for their friends to know their situation for their exertions to be secured—(cheers) — he was not one of those wbo retired from the field before he was really beaten.—(Cheers.) Mr. BRISCOE said it was true he did not occupy the same distinguished situation upon the poll which he had done at the last election, yet he bad no doubt of his suc cess. He remembered that, in 1830, on the first day's poll, the opposing candidates had three times the number of himself ; notwithstanding which he beat them.—(Cheers, and "So we will now !") His principles were unchanged, and would continue so.—(Cheers.) They had heard from his Hon. Colleague, the support promised to them by their agricultural friends ; and he had no doubt, if such of their friends as resided in this portion of the county were not strong enough to beat the enemy, w hi c h he knew they were—(Cheers)-their agricultural friends would still bring them in. He b egge d th e y wou ld no t lose one hour in recording their votes. He called upon them to exert them selves in the true cause, and urge their friends and neigh bours to come up to-morrow (this day) and support them, if they felt that their late representatiies had done their duty.—(Cheers.) Mr. FISHER then offered himself to the notice of the meeting, on behalf of Captain Alsager ; but the groans, hootings, and yells, with which he was saluted, prevented us from hearing a single word that he uttered. A meeting of the friends of Mr. Briscoe and Major Beauclerk was afterwards held at the Three 'Funs Tavern, Southwark, Mr. Fox Smith in the chair, when several reso lutions were passed, engaging the meeting to use every ex ertion to secure the return of the reform candidates. Many complaints were made as to the want of organization among the several district committess, and several influen tial gentlemen volunteered to use their utmost endeavours to supply the deficiencies which unfortunately existed. Many hundreds of Reformers have not yet polled ; and notwithstanding the majority which the. Tories possess on the day's poll, the most confident hopes are entertained that Messrs. Briscoe - and Beauclerk will yet be successful. PUBLIC DINNER TO MR. RIPPON, AT GATESHEAD. (Abridged from the Dutham Chronicle of Friday.) On Thursday se'nnight, a public dinner was given to Cuthbert Rippon, Esq., M.P., at Mrs. Calvert's, Half-moon Inn, Gateshead, in honour of his election as representative of the borough of Gateshead, W. H. BROCKETT, Esq., in the chair). The company was highly respectable, and as numerous as could be conveniently accommodated in the room.. The cloth having been removed, the following toasts were given in succession from the Chair, and drank with three times three ; " The King, and may he ever remember that his interests are identified with those of his subjects ;" " The People ;" " The Princess Victoria, and the rest of the Royal Family." The CHAIRMAN then begged leave to propose the health of the Gentleman they had that day elected as their repre sentative in the Commons House of Parliament. CUTHBERT RIBBON, Esq., M.P. rose, amid the most en thusiastic sPplause, and said,—Gentlemen, believe me that I feel as I ought this renewed proof of your kind feeling to wards me. I regard the proceedings of this day, as form ing the proudest period of my short political life. No one more aware of the importance of that crisis in which our countryQnds, and I therefore feel the peculiar force of : renewed confidemZ l by reposing your power in my hands at such a juncture. If you . . regard the state of affairs in thi s country at the present moment.,l think you will concur nortentous prospect with me in this opinion, that a more t The never before discovered itself to any of our get... late Government, whose measures I ever blamed *to.: . their faltering timidity, who were submissive to irresponsible in fluence, and shaped their course with regard to the stream of Court opinion, received at length their death-blow from that power which they should have previously strangled, and became the victims of back-stairs intrigue. The cause of their hesitation was long suspected, their faltering policy was the deserved subject for honest condemnation, the workings of the secret conspiracy against the rights of the people were known to all, and we now see the state machine of mischief in all the hideousness of its exposed deformity. You remember a memorable speech made by the King to the Bishops,—l said then, and I say now, that after that proof of influence and counsel, superior to, and secret from the constitutional advisers of the Crown,it was a duty which the minister owed to himself, his sovereign, and his country, to show that independence of spirit and purpose which was unfortunately not then manifested. No person respects more than I do the constitutional oxercise of the royal pre rogative, and no one more unspararingly condemns the ca pricious abuse of that privilege. Let it be remembered that though the constitution, and the laws, place power in the hands of various persons, still from the chief magistrate to the lowest officer, that power is entrusted to them for one purpose alone, to serve the interest and welfare of the com munity. So long as the late ministers hesitated from car rying into effect the bill for reform, so long as they abstained from performing the duty for which they were appointed, they were honoured with the royal sufferance—but the moment that they evinced a determination to be honest to the people, they received a brief dismissal from office. Now, gentlemen, I maintain that the power placed in the hands of the Sovereign should be used by him, merely to preserve a unity of opinion between the people and his advisers. A ministerial defeat in the House of Commons, or the superior force of an adverse party in that house, confesses at all times to th© Monarch, that the measures of his counsellors are such as meet not the views of the nation declared by the majority of their representatives ; but if ministers are to be dismissed merely to please the whim of one man, to gratify personal partiality or private humour, or satisfy the vengeance - of a tyrannous oligarchy, then see the position in which a statesman would be placed ; he must no longer seek to retain office by the power of. public approbation, but by pandering to the extravagance of a prince, the Ii centiousness of a court, the rapacity of a church, and to the ne !cly cravings of royal parasites. He must be the creature of the court. He must be their minion, and not your set want : he musi propitiate 'his masters by the betrayal of y (Q ur interests : be ,must no longer regard public favour, I#6a( - 1 ( ( UNDER the PATRONAGE of HIS MAJESTY, and AU THORIZED by the LORDS of the TREASURY.

Sir Thomas Piston was one of the most able Go vernors Trinidad ever had. His way of treating debtors that had the means, but wanted the will, to pay, was original ; in stead of undergoing the heavy delay of a Spanish law process, credizors were in the habit of going to Governor Picton ; be ould summon the debtor before him, and ask him if the plain tiff's claim was just; if the defendant answered in the affirms live, Picton rejoined, " Pav him, Sir, immediately ; " perhaps the defendant w ou ld remar k that he had not the money at the moment. " When will you have it, Sir ?" " This day week." " Here," the Governor would say, addressing the plaintiff, " Here is your m one y," at t h e same time paying him himself, and then turning to the defendant he would say, " Take care, Sir, that you produce the money within ten days." This was enough, for few men would venture to trifle with the Gover nor. He had the art of making himself loved and respected by the honest Members of the community and feared by the worthless.—lllonthly Magazine. C~~IL~~li ~~~. but maintain his position by place and power, plunder aro: a pension list. Such, in my opinion, must be the effects. of proceedings such as have lately taken place—but of this fact let our rulers be assured, the people obtain their rights, they will have cheap and good go vernment, with equal laws to all : they seek to obtain them by peaceful reform ; but if they. are withheld by fraud or power, they and their children will wring them from the hands of those who withhold by that other means of Reform, which no man can mention without shudder ing, I mein by revolutionary force. The result of the late measure cannot, I think, have been contemplated by the Monarch ; he has already produced that collision which wag so long feared by him and his advisers, a collision not be tween the representatives, but between the oligarchy and the people. No minister can consent to succeed the Tories but on one primary condition, that he shall have absolute power to create such an influence in the upper house of parliament as shall secure co-operative purpose bet ween,then: and the Commons ; in other words, as shall cause sebmissioi' from the Peers to the people. Come when this may, and it must come soon, you will find me ready to do my.duty. I have stood, and if need be, will fall, in defence of the rights. of my order—the people. Reports are abroad that in the event of the-new Parliament not being pliant to Tory pur poses, that they will again be dissolved. I will not give ear for one moment to so monstrous a notion. -No Monarch can be so weak, no counsellors so treacherous, as to venture on so fatal a course, which would probably ensure the de struction of the peerage and the throne. His Majesty has required your advice. You have tendered it to him through me your representative. Would he dare to tell his people:- that they had been treacherous to themselves in the choice of their delegates, and that In; commanded them to revise their 'choice ? If so, let every constituency who are satis fied with their members, command their remaining in the neighbourhood of Westminster until they had again made return to the new writs, and thus thanking his Majesty for his kind opportunity of re-considering their late resolve, tell him that they had no intention to reverse it. But how would the supplies be furnished during this interregnum of discussion between the crown and the people ? Not one shilling would be suffered to pass holm the public treasury. And then another point - must be settled ; seeing that the present prerogative may be used to the injury of those who confided it, it will be proper to impose -a further limit upois its exercise, thus abridging the power which was delegated tor the public welfare and employed for the common injury. But I scout the very notion of such infatUation.• I 'know that our King has a truly British feeling, and I pray that: he may seek his guidance in the answer to his present; appeal, and not regard the interested whisperings of a •rapa mos and fanatical court. The result of our elections de cides the present fate of liberty in Europe. The electors of these united kingdoms are not only responsible to them selves, but to millions who groan beneath the iron rule of despotism in Poland, Germany, and Italy. Even the cause a s:Lberty in France hovers with anxious fate over the impend ing issue 9f our final struggle. You will be not only the sa viours of your own country, but the deliverers of Europe. The Tory prints te;:ld you of re-action. Sir J. Beckett, at Leeds, pointed to the proof in the coming forward of three Tories to represent the city of London. Look to his proof. and judge him thereby. On the first day's poll the highest. Tory on the list was 920 below the lowest reformer. Is this their best proof of re-action ? I suspect be will find it a reverse progression to his cause. Appeals are now made to wives and daughters by the Standard and other papers, calling upon them to exert their influence to save their husbands and fathers from the destructive consequences Of revolution, and as they are pleased to say, save them from the consequences of their own act. Gentlemen. I look forward with anxiety to our first meeting ; and it it be our fortune to see an amendment, declaratory of ern tire want of confidence by the people in the present minis ters, carried on the first night of the approaching session, I can assure you, that no event could gladden my heart with equal delight to the thundering c h eers o f th e honest representatives of the people proclaiming their victory, and declaring to the Tories their dismissal from power, and their extinction for ever as a party. Gentlemen, I have never yet Been a visitant at court, but on such an oc casion, I should deem it my duty to accompany the Corn• mons of England to present our amended address to hie Majesty ; and I hope that every independent man woulo support, by his presence before the throne, the sentiments and purpose of his constituents. Gentlemen, I can assure you that the feeling of pride in being the representative 0 4 . -. so independent a constituency, -alone supports me in the fatigue of an arduous duty ; believe me, that. a representa tive who faithfully discharges his trust, sacrifices his health. pleasure, and all personal considerations and comforts ; but. these, and every thing, I am ready to yield up, if their sa crifice can in any way serve the interests of my country. Twice have I been honoured with your confidence ; and let me declare to you, that knowing the borough of Gateshead stands foremost for the character of its independent consti tuency, it will be my constant care never to disgrace its choice by discovering the unworthiness of its representa tive. Gentlemen, with sincerity I give you " Prosperity to the borough of Gateshead." The CHAIRS! 1N then proposed the health of Mrs. Rip pon and the family at Stanhope Castle. Mr. RIPPON returned thanks. The following toasts were also drunk :—" The indc pendence of the city of Durham ;" " the Liberty of the Press," &c., &c., and several very excellent songs were sung. The company broke up about ld o'clock, highly gratified with the entertainment ; and the viands, wines, &c., were very creditable to Mrs. Calvert. ATROCIOUS BARBARITY. Perhaps no case in the annals of crime surpasses that which we are about to record for cold-blooded and atrocious barbarity. Immediately back of the Arsenal, and a few steps from the public highway stands a log-house, built ape, occupied by a man of the name of Windham, a gardener, and attendant upon the St. Louis Market. A daughter, 17 or 18 years of age, was, with her father, the only in mates of the house, her mother being dead. Early on Sun day morning last, the attention of a citizen, who haPpene..l to be passing, was attracted to the house by the appearance: of fire issuing from it. On opening the door he found the room filled with a dense smoke, rendering everything inside imperceptible, and perfect silence all around. He imme diately procured a bucket of water, and threw it in the quarter where he supposed the fire to be ; but a voice from the bed directed his efforts to the " chest." This he at last found, picked it up, threw it out of the house, and then extinguished the fire. He next proceeded to kindle a blaze on the hearth, and having done so, a scene of horror: presented itself to his view. Upon the floor, by side, lay the dead body of Miss Windham, and on the beCt the mangled and almost lifeless body of her father. Clots of blood were discovered in every part of the room—tlyt floor was covered with half-consumed papers, taken from the chest, and every thing was in confusion. The investigations in the course of the day brought to light no evidence having the least tendency to criminate any one. It was in te!-;- timony that two distinct reports of a gun were heard about twelve or one o'clock at night ; and the old man thinks the: it was shortly after they went to bed that they were at tacked. A noise being made at the door, the daughter got up, with the intention of opening it. It was supposed that the fire afforded light enough to give the miscreants a dis-- tinct view of her person, and they fired at her through tha window, breaking the pane of glass. The entire load of t, 'L‘ck shot entered tile side of her neck, and she must have fallen ,- . l ead. The murderers then turned the gun upon he.- 4- an aaicr, who was still in bed. The discharge took effect ;n his face, one of tt:" shot passing through the eye to trio .. brain. Life not being extinct, they attacked him with au axe, or some sharp weapon, and gave him several blows o 4 open the chest, and took the money, if there was any ; and the head. They then proceecit:l l to rifle the house ; broke then, to leave no tell-tale of their butchery, threw a coal at fire into the chest, and closed the lid. The plot, as is seen, was almost consummated ; a few minutes more and every thing would have been burnt up.—St. Louis (1117ssoun) Republican, Nov. 16. • On opening the will yesterday of a gentleman, who had expended an extremely handsome fortune, amongst other articles, it contained the following :—" If I had died possesses of a thousand pounds, I would have left it to my dear frien.l„ Mr. Thomas B---; but as I have not sixpence, he must accept the will for the deed." IRELAND, THE FLYING PHENOMENON.—Ire - Iand, the vaulter, was the most extre ordinary naiural jumper ever saw, though I have often seen many who excelled him when aided by the spring-board and other artificial contri vances. I have walked with Ireland, and he has suddenly left my arm, and, with the mere impetus of a couple of spaces,- jumped over a turnpike gate. leaping over the _bar opposite the Surrey Theatre, when going home half tipsy. first attracted attention towards him. -In those days of practi cal joking, he was foremost in frolic ; his animal spirits were great, and he was vain and fond of display. One trick of his was, if he saw a horse held waiting for its rider, to stand beside it, as if uncertain which way he should turn, for ri moment ; and when he saw the rider coming out, to spring • clean over the back of the horse, with a ludicrous appein mice of anxiety to get out of the gentleman's way. What made this seem more singular was, that Ireland always walked off as it he had performed nu extraordinary leap at all, leaving those who had beheld the jump doubting the evidence of their own senses, and liable, of course, to be doubly doubted, if they narrated the occurrence. One of his stage exhibitions was, to throw a summerset over a waggon and eight horses ; over a dozen grenadiers standing at present arms, with fixed bayonets, Sir Thomas Picton, a man of unquestionable courage, went to witness this exhibition ; but when ho saw the men placed, lie trembled like a leaf, and kept his head down while !retai! jumped : nor did he look up till be had first asked, "1-las no done it ?" When assured that he had, he said, " A hattle . s nothing to that." Ireland was ver cr y proud of all this ; hut at l v en e g te t r h a l: z. at y th e e t y fi ri i c a e nth of ly h ll is fa te ga .r et):.—flecords of a Stne 7/2 -
