As soon as he recovered, he ordered the sailor to be brought before him. The sailor appeared not a little frightened concerning the consequences of what he had done. The duke held out his hand, saying, "You are a brave fellow - wish there were more such in the British navy. Neverfear, inan--if ever ] am king, you shall be admiala."

Si,gulor Crcouastonec. "A short time since, a sister and brother met togeth-
 CT in this city, after separation of P years, during which time neither of them
 had ever heard from the other! The pa rents of these personsand another daugh- ter, had been inhabitants of Philadei- phia and died in that city in 1907. In consequence of the embarrassed state in which they left their circumstances, the surviving relatives found 1t necessa-
 ry to separate the children, who were then very young. Two relatives of the
 mother took the two female children to
 distant part of the country, and the boy was taken by friend of the father, to distance from the two females.-
 All three lived and grew up; and each was aware of the fact that a fraternal degree of kindred bound all although the females knew not their brother's a. bode, nor he theirs. One sister now re- sides in Ohio: the other has lived a con- siderable time in this city, where sine is happily married. About two years since, the brother came to reside in this city, and continues to work at his trade:
 during six months his sister lived next door to the house in whichhe stillboards. The sister had many fruitless searches for him, and even went some time since to Philadelphia, to endeayor to find some account of him, but without effect. Fi-

He writes to oone friend to ztake bed at Windsor, when he has q mind to, ,'---and to anoth- CT to come. and dine with him, 'swhen he can't do any thing better with himself.'

THE CONSTITUTION.

Aihb >o@'ci
The indications which reach us from
every quarter, evince the most decided IA
Vor to the new Constitution. These ipdi-
cations we shall continue to observe. and
to note for the information of our readers.
The public favor is, in our opinion, so de-
cided, that all aecessity of discussion is
superseded. Attack does not seem to be
meditatcd from any quartcr, and therefore,
defence is suPerf1uous" So far as we have
heard or observed, -e,-tbis eide the mnnn-
tain, it will be carried by acclamation ;
and MIR. Cooke Of Winchester, in a late
address to tie people of his district, gives
us reason to be confident that every dele
gate to the Convention from the Valley will
sustain it at the polls.
1t gives us great pleasure to Law the fol-
lowing announcement, taken from tina,
valuable and interesting publication, the
(" Virginia Literary Museum" before our
readers. Our situation, in the immediate
vicinity Of that noble institution, the Uni
versity of Virginia, the bequest, so to
speak, of our great Patriot and Statesman,
the best and most consummate act of his
fidelity and ripeness." enables us TO speak
from personal knowledge, and to confirm
if indeed they need. confirmation, the facts
it contaius.-As continuation, we know
that our remarks are superHuous bu, i,
is subject of general interest to our citi.
zens, and this sheet may reach some who
never see the pages of the Museum.
| UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA.,
The representations we ventured &c
make, regarding the future salubrity of thi.

ence 10 similar cases, have, we are happ,
to say, been confirmed to an extent which
we could hardly have anticipated A lthouol

this session than there have ever been
with the exception OF one session-their
general health has been extraordinarily
good, and the freedom from fever greater
than at any previous period. There has
not been solitary case Of continued fever

demic OF last year. The whole OF the re.
gion oft the south western mountains is in.

Before MIR. Benton concluded, no was in
duced TO give way for a motion for adjourn
mcnt and
Tho Senate adjourned till tomorrow.
We must say that this is novel pro-
ceed'ng. We are at a loss to perceive how
the fame Of Bayard is to be purged of the
star" which the statement Of Mr.. Jefferson
IS calculated TO fix or it by the defect OF
recollection in Mr.. Livingston and Gen.
Sn''h-ahd this too often lapse of 80
years. Let it be borne in mind too, tina,
the fact Of which this want of recollection
seems to be considered by the Senator
from Delaware as sufficient reiutation,
is not a day old when Mr.. Jefferson rec
ords it, and that Livingston's statement of
IT to him is confirmed by w. C. Nicholas,
the brother-in-aw of Gen. Smith. Two
suggestions alone are compatible with
Bayard's acquittal. The first implies that
the whole statement is an invention of Mr..
Jefierson's and that in fact no such COM
munIcation was ever made to him by Liv-
'ngston or confirmed by Nicholas. The
o'her that the invention was theirs, and
MIR. Jefferson their crednlous dupe. There
IS, however, another alternative which had
escaped us; and this must credit the in
vvention to the imagination of Gen. Smith.
1t IS not the time or occasion to mince Ian

FOREIGN.

An extraordinary courier passed
through Ancona, on the 18th Of Decem-
Der, from Vienna, charged with important
dispatches both from England and Aus
tria, to the Porte.
Russia is ausmenting her navy rapidly.
On the 9Th of December. the kecis Of
two 74's and a.frigate of 33 guns, were
laid at the new admiralty at St. Peters,
burgh and at Okh,a.
1t has been intensely cold in France.
On Monday the 2Sth of December, a
sentinel who was supposed to have follen
asleep on his post, was found frozen 10
death.
The London Morning Herald of De-
cember "a, says" The proceedings OF
the last three days are not calculated
to increase the popularity of the present
administration -four State prosecutions
against one newspaper, with fifth de-
pending over its devoted head, is macs
ure OF ministerial severity dealt out to
the Press which we believe to be per-
fectly unexampled and, as it is unex-
ampled, so we hope it will remain upon
the records Of British justice without
imitation"
The cold has been very severe in
England. On the 23d of December
Wagons loaded with Ice, were entering
London from all directions.
Extract of private letter Of the 9th
December from Havre-" The Seine is
completely frozen over. The vessels
which left Havre and Honheur yester-
day for Romer have been obliged to
return TO port to avoid the masses of ice
floating on some part of the river-Our
roads are covered with ice, after being
iurrowed by rains. render the passage
of wagons and carts almost impossible.
Thus we have. every reason to fear that
the commerce OF our port, which has
been slack for some time in consequence
Of the prevalence of easterly winds,
will become completely Inactive"
The river below London Bridge pre-
sented on the 3lst December, at one
time, continued sheet of frozen masses
OF ice and snow completely across the
stream. During the week, one half OF
the river Of the Tower had been block
ed up, and channel was opened to
several vessels by cutting through the
shore. On the day above mentioned,
however, it was perceived that those
channels had been frozen up,and the Ten
der ship was entirely insulated. Boats
could not approach it and the ice was
too fragile to venture upon. In this d.
lemma, recourse was had to passing q
line from the ship to the shore, according
TO the plan for saving lives in cases Of
shipwrecked vessels when stranded. A
strong cable was stretched from one Of
| the masts to the Tower wharf, and upor
this box upon rollers was placed, If
which persons and provisions were con.
.iveyed TO and fro by another lines adjust.
