national mind, and improvements Of even >" me

since the triumph of what is called so,;,, D1'

guard against similar ta.e, by the es,abT.E

the Holy Alliance; she has afforded an adm
rable exempli6cation Of the benefits which A..
from the Monarchical principle
Mark the contrast between Spain and f..
land at the presen. moment. The PeonIr .,
the manufacturing districts have been lone emf
fering the most dreadful privations bu, WI,
the exception of the attempts to break Dove,
looms some months ago, they have remained
proof against all inf1ammatory appeal to them
and little apprehension is entertained of any IN,
terrupton of order, even under the most tryinp
circumstances. In Spain, on the other hand
all is suspicion and fsar. The Governmer,
like traveller in the dark, startles at every
sound Such are the fruits Of governing BY con.
straint, and REFRESHING the circulation Of know

and mutual agreement to fight The bar
keeper overheard their arrange ment which was
to go over to Red Hook, in consequence OF the
recent interruption at Hoboken, and to cross
at seven the mex, morning in the Brooklyn boat
He conveyed intelligence to the fathers OF the
young gentlemen, who managed to be near the
ground before them, and 10 conceal themselves
in an angle Of an old building; and just as the
lads had stripped off coat and vest, in order to
accommodate each others bullet, they sprang
from their hiding places, each armed with a
common cowskn, painted blue. and the doat-
ing fathers so belabored the hides Of their du-
tiful sons, that their courage was cooled in a
few minutes, and they started off towards the
WaIlabout at full speed, leaving Alexander the
black in charge of pistols and forgery On the
whole, such seasonabe interferences are pro-
ductive of much solid benefit; they cool the
blood, restore equanimity to temper, and proba-
bly, prevent grief and funeral expenses. The
young gentlemen are, on the whole, satisfied
with the result.

BREACH OF PROMISE.--At the Court OF
Common Pleas, held in Goshen last week, cause Of
the above description was tried between Dorothy
Ackerson, and VIM. Ellis The case was very
aggravated one. The families on both sides we're
respectabe-the young had courted her
long time and at length under promise of marriage
betrayed her. No attempt was made to injure the
reputation of the young lady; the only defence set
up by the defendants counsel was that he was un-
der age at the time he made the promise. The
Jury returned verdict OF two thousand dollars, for
the plaintiff, being the whole amount laid in the
declaration.
