We have not yet heard whether Mr.. Randolph
has returned from Europe, or whether his
journey has alayed the wrath which filed his
soul during the session of 1855.
Ne,c State Register.-Messrs. Norton s.
Russell of Hartford, have now in press new
State Register, which wilabe completed in
very short time. The publishers appear to
have engaged in this work at the earnest re-
quest Of individuals from different parts of
the state, who have volunteered their asssis-
lance to render the work complete. From
what we have learnt of the pains they have
exerted, we believe the work will be a correct
manual for the state. AS the profits upon
such publication must be necessarily small,
we hope the compilers viii meet with all the
success which their most ardent hopes could
anticipate. The work will be for sale at this
Office, in due season..

be published in Philadelphia, the fisrt number
of which is to appear in March next. Mr..
Walsh, who some years ago edited the Amer
lean Resiewsis said to be editor of the con-
templated work. As he is good classical
scholar, and man of correct taste and great
requirements, this work will richly merit the
patronage of the public. We presume it will
not injure the N. A. Review, as the field is
wide enough for the success. of both, and the
only strife between the two will be for tera-
ry excellence, in which competition the cause
of literature will be advanced, and their utiE-
ty increased.
Murders, both in the old fashioned way of
shooting or stabbing, and in the more genteel
way of duelling, appear to be the order of the
day at the south west. Scarcely paper ar
rives but gives accounts Of violent deaths, cal
culated to shock the feelings Of such as have
not been accustomed to hearing of such things.
We do not pretend to extract those accounts;
five should undertake it, we might keep two
orthree standing paragraphs like the following;
" Another murder was committed in Kentuc-
ky, or Tennessee last week." 1t would not
be necessary to give names and particulars,
and the insertion of one or two like notices ev-
cry week would not be out of place. For this
reason we have thought best not to repeat
them, except when one ofnncommon attroci-
ty is committed. We are aware that this
paragraph presents a gloomy picture of the
state ofssociety at the west; but are conf
dent the coloufing is not too black.
The present condition of the woollen BUSH
ness may be partially estimated from the fol-
lowing-a friend of the editor of this paper,
an eminent inventor and maker of machinery,
and perfectly well acquainted with the manu-
facture of wool, was lately and by accident,
at an auction in one of our principal cities, at
which he unexpectedly purchased about
thousand dollars [selling pricel worth Of Brit
ish woollens, the stock and materials of which,
he believes, must have cost more money in
England, land no Oneis better judge than he is.
He is not dealer in such things-but has laid
them aside for the present, under perfect
assurance that they must greatly adyanee.48

A Paris paper Of Oct. 10, announces the
death of Lieut.. Gen. de Portaing, at the age
| of 80 years. He was, says the Journal Of
Commerce, distinguished officer in the Uni

their independence, where he was highly es-
teemed. -
The Anuconda.-Wc regret to state that
this interesting, nay, though serpent, we
will add beautiful addition to Mr.. Peale's mu-
scum, died on Wednesday night. His death
was occasioned by the unjustifable curiosity
of individuals in keeping him constantly irrita-
ted. and causing him TO spring against the iron
ofhis cage. BY this means his mouth became
GO much injured as to create an inflammation
which produced his death. Mr.. Peale tells
us that he died in the greatest possible agony
writing and twisting, throwing himself up
on his back, tying himself as it were in knots,
and eyincinG commissions in every possible
form: and to administer medicine to his
snakeship, was not considered very desira-
