dency. Nature seems to have lost all hc
charms. The moon and stars lose their lus-
tre-the verdurc of the forest seems veiled
in melancholy hue-the tones of the fcath-
cred songstcrs are inharmonious and sad
land even the murmurings OF the ripping
stream sound in consonance with grief
The presence of friends. who never failed
to inspire delight, loses its influence and
though we still love them, yet, they cannot
subdue the grief that triumphs over the
spirits. Those features on which we oft
dwell with pleasure, although the sparkling
eye and captivating smile are still visible and
admired, are not able to elevate the mind
from its depression. yhe friendly glance
and affectionate tone, though duly estimat-
ed, are impotent in removing the clouds
that hover over us.-The mrth-inspircd
laugh may pour upon the ear, and scenes Of
hilar;ty may surround us, but these lose
their power when cxerted on a gloomy
mind. When "musing melancholy" throws
her heavy clouds over the mind, the features
become fixed by sorrow, the eye loses its
lustre and silence rests upon the lips; and
he who was once gay and volatile, assumes
all the marks Of stupidity and il-nature.

From the National Journal.

The death of the Emperor Alexander, OF
Russia, has been viewed by many OF our CO.
temporaries as an event fraught with I'M
portant consequences We are inclined to
somewhat a different opinion. The treaty
of the Holy Alliance is, it is true, personal
one between monarchs, having been signed
nv their own hands, whichs un usual. Sup"
posng that the new Emperor, Constantine,
should consider himself cxonerated from the
obligations of that compact, the policy OF the
compact itself is founded upon such strong
reasons. in reference to the royal families OF
continental Europe, that even if the treaty of
the Holy Alliance did not exist, it would be
the interest of the crowned heads concerned,
m adhere to the course which it inculcates.
That treaty is, i'll effect, an agreement a.
mone the parties to it, for the preservation,
bv military force, if necessary, OF regal pre-
ropatives, in contempt of the claims OF their
subjects to political justice. The desire OF
the people of their respective domnions. for
the enjoyment of rational liberty, is not less
at this time than it was when the compact
was formed and, it may be fairly pre-
sumcd, that the European sovereisns have
lost none of their feeling for the per-
netuation of the property of their kingdoms
IN their respective families. If, therefore,
the Emperor Constantine be of that despot-
l. tcmper which has been ascribed to him,
the treaty of the Holy Alliance will exactly
suit him and he will, it is most probable,
continue the sanction of Russia to it.
Russian politics, ia relation to Turkey,
rest upon basis totally different from that
of the Holy Alliance. Pursuing the design
Of the empress Catharine, the court of St.
Petersburg has constantly kept in view
the acquisition Of Constantinople, and per-
hans portion of the Turkish provinces in
Fnrope. The main obstacle to Russian am
hilton. in that respect, is the Jealousy Of
Austria, France, and Great Britain. Aus
tria fears IN increase of Russian force OIL her
frontier: France, as the bulwark of the in
depenJence of the south Of Europe, is op-
posed to any further expansion of the for
mida5le northern empire: and Great Brit
ain cannot see with indifference the stride OF
the Russian colossus towards Asia Minor,
which, at no distant day, might induce a
mother step towards India. 1t is these high
interests which hold the cabinet OF ut. Fe-
tersburg in check, and enable the Porte to
resist the menacing encroachments OF hus-
sia. IfAlexander, who was so popular with
his subjects, dared not venture on the enter
prize, it is not likely that Constantine will do
SO.
The protection of the Greeks and their
religions the pretencc on which Russia has
undertaken to interfere with the affairs of
Turkey. But Great Britain, France and
Austria, are not to be deceived by such a
pretext. They know we'll that it is ambi-
ton, and not affection for the Greeks, or
love of religion, that animates the court OF
St. Petersburg in its controversies with the
Diyan. The same motives prevail now as
in the lifetime of Alexander, :or res'st'ng

One day last week, an anonymous letter
was received by druggist of Philadelphia,
informing him that person in his employ
was in the daily practice of roablng him and
taking the property to his own dwelling in
Pine near Sixth street. The letter me''-
toned, that the fellow was in the habit Of
drinking medicated Cortials as drams.-
The druggist took the letter to an Alder
man, who, aftcr examining him on oath, de-
ternined to issue search warrant. This
was done, and between 500 and $1,000 worth
of property, Of various kinds, was recovered
and restored to the Ilghtfnl owner. Among
the property was no less than eighty of God
f-eu's Cordial bottles which had been emp
tied by the fellow who stole them. His
name is Hugh EicAmond, and he is now in
prison, awaiting his trial at the next Mayors
Court.

Chiquio.os, tie Province which they invad-
cd in Upper Peru--it was hoped that rup-
ture bet wecn the two Governments might
have been averted, and their differences am
icably adjusted, by the late mission to Rio
de Janeiro in the person of Mr.. Yrigoyen,
who was sent to negotiate with the Empe-
ror on the question Of the Banda Oriental,
firmly insisting on the claims to that Prov
ince BY this Government, and to accept, on
it's part fproposed--the mediation of Sir
Charles Stewart, the British Ambassador to
the Court of Lisbon and Rio de Janero,
who has recently arrived at the latter place.
--Unfortunately it failed. Mr.. Yrigoyen
left this for Monte Video, on his way to Rio;
and, after making three unsuccessful at
tempts to put to sea from that place, driven
back each time by stress of weather, re-
tarned to this city and declined altogether
the mission. That any events should have
arisen to occasion the least delay was to be
regretted 1t was then undertaken by Mr.
Lynch, Cd Captain Of the Port, who chart
cred brig for his conveyance, and was on
the point of embarking to proceed direct to
Rio with his charge. At this interesting
juncture, on 2lst ultimo, Mr.. Rivadavia ar
rived from Europe. The departure OF Mr.
Lynch was deferred from day to day and
the mission at length was totally abandoned
1t was on the c5th that Congress, after the
most tedious and prolonged deliberations, in
secret session, declared the Oriental Prov
ince re-incorporated with the Republic OF
La Plata, and its Deputy admitted, and
changed the Executive Power with its de-
fence and security. These are proceedings
which are looked upon as tantamount to a
declaration of war with Imperial Brazil.
, The apparent sudden vecrinss in some
and the impulse which seems to be givcr
10 other public measures, are attributed
ia the presence Of Mr.. Ri, adavia, so remar
kablc for his promptaess and energy of char
/ acter.

MURDER.--On Friday morning last, a
bout o'clock, surgical aid was called to the
relief Of "a woman, (the wife of Mr.. Jacob
Ze5ley, an industrious mechanic OF this
place) who had been stabbed by some blood
thirsty villain and was lying weltering in her
blood Upon cxamination,it was found that
the wound, caused by a large instrument,
had been inflicted in the right side; was be-
tween two and three inches in length, and in
the opinion of the physicians at least six
deep. After the wound had been dressed
and the patient little composed, she was
interrogated. as to the event, when she stat
wearing blue roundabout, &c. (describ-
ing his dress and appearance) came into the
house where she was alone with her infant
child. and demanded money, when upon being
informed there was none, he took up a
knife from the breakfast table, which stood
by, plunged it into her side and retreated
through the back door. This was, as near
as we can ascertain, her statement, and upon
the presumption that it was correct, the Bo-
rough Council issued a proclamation sfter-
ing reward for the apprehension OF the as
sassin, Two or three suspicious persons
were apprehentled and carried before her,
believing that if either should be the guilty
person she would be able to identity him
but without success. On Monday a per-
son answering the description given, was ap
nrehended near the Red Lion Tavern, IA few
miles below this Borough, and brought to
town. He was examined before a magis-
trate, and being unable to give correct ac-
count of himself, was conveyed to the pres
ence of his victim, when the instant she saw
him, she pronounced him to be the man who
had committed the act. Her deposition was
taken, and the presumed guilty person is
now in the County Jail at Newcastle. We
lament to state that after lingering about four
days, the unhappy woman expired, which
was Oh the morning Of his commitment.

hope Of the Christian world, with respect to
the independence of Greece, will have been
baffled by coincidence in the policy of GER

Blue LaUs.-The editor the Salem Observer,
gives the following particulars Of trial which
took plaae in Connecticut, in 1861 under that
section Of the blue iatcs which prohibited Kissing.
The offenders were Sarah Tuttle and Jacob Muir
line. 1t appeared in evidence that Sarah drop.
ped her gloves, and Jacob found them. When
Sarah asked for them, Jacob demanded kiss for
his pay, and as the demand did not appear to be
extravagant, Sarah adjusted the matter without
requiring credit. The facts were clearly proved,
and the parties were fined f,ceaty shiilings each.
Had the law been kept in force until this time,
we have no doubt that the Treasury Of Connec-
ticut would have been the richest in the universe
