tive. 1t occurred in an alley. back of Maine.st.

Lducr.-Since our last publications, the packet ship Corinthian, Captain Chadwick, has arrived from London.-- lie ieft Portsmouth ofi ii tic 5ti 5 t |; {! brings London papers of the evening oi the lst-being in fact on the score of news, ono day laterthan the advices by the Britannia.-N. !. Com. .Adv.
 The parliamentary would close on the 2d, and that body would assemble on the Sd. A very important and stor. my sessiioi, wis anticipated. Very live ly apprehensions are entertained, that the whigs win not have as long, or as pleasant time in office, as they desire, or the exigencies ofthe country demand. During the recess, it is said the tories have been actively organizing an opPo- sition, and it is feared that such combl- nations have been formed as will great ly embarrass, If we do not overthrow the administration.
 The Courier admits that an opposition has thus been organized, but doubts whether either the Duke of Wellington, or Sir Robert Peel, would carry their opposition to the extent indicated by the Times. The latter journal of Februa- " Ist, pursues the subject, in q tone of evident alarm. It insists that "a Rcforas in Parliament $ the only secauity agdfnst revolutionary ouerthro1u of he Csarch nnd Stote of Englond. Beyond all ques- ton, Gtadds) if the Whig Ministers be not now supported, a Tory Government -or rather bastard Torv-wouid stand :, good chance of immediately succeed ing to oflice."

.Hf. 1aughan.-The Globe of saira- day last says, ssWe transfer from the in- telligencer an account of the tribute of respect paid by the City and Members of Congress to the British Minister.- The country will see in il the spirit of amity which now eharaeterizes the re. lations of two great nations of the same race. No man, We believe, could ever blend more happily, the qualities calcu- lated to restore the severed ties of anee- ton between this country and its kin dred beyond the Atlantic, than Mir. Vaughan. He has all the simplicity of a Republican in his department, and C yinees aliberality in his opinions, which would make him a good representatire of this country in Europe, and ahere- fore, q much favored rcpresentatige of England here. Mir. Vaughan, in leag- ing this country. will take with him the assurance of having inspired with the best feelings, all connected with the ad- ministration of the American Govern ment."

 s'l remember seeing an old paiptno :. an early perodofmy life, in an aIebosssa s'a' which struck me st the time. Tbos., was the Devil, and the Pope, and a Cas dinal-a noble triumviratc-set ronna : candle, which, though they were twistins their mouths into various and fantas,,ss shapes to extinguish, still blazed ans ilickered the more, over the heads of nj. three-sonae were inscribed these wo,as which threw light on the whole sub;oe, 'The candle ot reformation is lia6,ed and we cannot blow ii ouf'--f,ear sss m, laughter.) 1nthe same words declara my firm belief that the candle which,. now lighted in these lands will nevers gain De extinguished. Neither Dev;l Pope, nor Cardinal-neitfier Aristocra,' Penstoner, nor Boroughmonger-.neitbe, Councilman, Deacon, nor Deau of Gnld will never be able to extineuisb ;t
 Daughter and applause.) When tho cup is full, it is well know that one ad ditional drop will make it run oyerN
 And though St. Andrews has only como in at the eleventh hour, sine may. in fact constitute that very drop which may turn the scale in favor Of constitutions, change or reformation. What oron5 attitude forher to present-forher. her centuries on her brow. and boy colleges in her hand-with her one foot on the sea, and the other on the lanS proclaiming aloud that corruption shan be no more--(great applause.)

Persoma1ities.--An English paper gives an account of a brief but very can. did conversation which took place be- tween MT. O'ConnelI and the Marquis of Anglesea, on the subject of personal ities, in which the anxiety of both to spare each others private feelings, and to consider each other solely in q polite. al point of view, was remarkably illus trated. The Irish orator told the Mar. quis, that although strong excitement and regard for his country might induce him to speak of his Lordship in hispub- lie character with some severity, stills naeanf aaothang personal toauards him. To this the Marquis replied, by requesting NIT. O'Conncll in future to be a little more moderate and cool in his political expressions; ;"And,o Said he, "Mr. O'Con. nell, you meg ore day go too far; andll after this warning. you continue as ylo- lent et, should yen come te be haalged. you must not consider it meant as oay ihlas personal tomagdS yout'
