The Theory Of Dreaming.-A Mr. An

genious theory of dreaming. He enume'
rates no less than seven different states o
sleeping aud waking:
1 /. When the entire brain and nervous
system are buried 10 sleep; lheu there il
total exemption from dreaming.
2. When some OF the mental organs arr
awake, and all the senses are asleep, thei
dreams occur, and seem to be realities.
| 3. When the above condition exists
and The nerves OF voluntary motion ar
also in state Of wakefuiness, tben ma,
occur the rare phenomenon OF somnam
bulism.
a. When one Of the senses is awake
with some of the mental organs, then "
may be conscious, during cur dreams, Q
4 its illusory nature.
| 5. When some of the mental organs ar
asleep, and two or more senses are awake
lthen we can attend to external impressions
and notice the gradual departure Of on
sIumbers.
! q. When we are totally awake, and j
full possession of all our faculties an
powers.
i 4. When under these circumstances "
are so occupied with mental operations 9
not to attend TO the impressions of extei
nal objects; then our reverie deindes U

Some little time since, you noticed the
marriage Of Robert Ice, ESQ. Of Wood
bridge, to Miss Helen kingsland, Of Bar
BADGES Neck. To the autumn OF 1919.

by him for the direct taxes Of l8l6-I7;
but circumstance remains yet 10 be no.
ticed respecting the resumption of those
estates, the like of which You will not
often have an opportunity TO record.
4 MIR. Lee, at the time OF bis marriage,
was in possession Of titles for estates for
feited for taxes at more than $4,000.
Before his marriage be required an ex-
press stipulation from his intended wife,
that he should always permit the redemp-
ton OF those estates, for the taxes, charges,
and interest thereupon, whenever the for
mer owners should be inclined so to re-
deem them.
Comment on an act like this is lost; it
is one Of those transcendant efforts Of the
mind which bespeaks its immortal desti-
nation.

House on Sandy Hook, having on board
ladies and gentlemen Cd party Of pleas
ure from this place. The sloop bad pass

five miles Of the Hook, when most dis
tressing occurrence happened. Some
tacklings having given way, Capt. Crow
ell went out on the bowsprit TO assist 10
righting it, which he accomplished. On
his way back to the deck, from some un-
accountable misstep, he lost bis hold and
fell into the water. The vessel being un.
der easy sail, was hove too, aud every ex-
ertion made TO rescue the captain from
his perilous situation. Several minutes
however elapsed before the small boat was
lowered and could reach him-he was
still floating on the rolling waves--his
body was rescued from watery grave
but the lamp Of natural life was extinguish
ed. Thus suddenly, and Unexpectedly
and 10 the midst of health and hilarity
was fellow mortal arrested by The han6

the company were in moment blighted--
and they returned with the remains o

put in possession of Paris and Bordeaux
papers to the l4th March, containing
London dates, to the 8th, and Madrid to

The Revolution which has been SO

argues very much in favor of enlarged
views, religious, moral, and political, in
that nation.-We find by Madrid arti-
Gle of the end March, that the new
Council who advised and supported the
King in this measure of wisdom and
moderation, consisted of the following
distinguished characters, viz : His Roy
