put her in jeopardy. And were it not for the defendant's letter to the plaintiff, in which certainly consent was implied, he would have no hesitency in granting nonsuit. His lord ship wished the public distinctly to under stand what the law was in such cases as the present-that it was decidedly hostile to the practice of wives running from their hus bands. His lordship could not help express ing his disapprobation, in the strongest terms, of the officious metlling of the parents of Mrs Ham, in the present instance; and in exem- plfcation of what the conduct of parent ought to be in such cases, his ordship, with great humor related the following story sIt once upon time so happened that person who had some disHute with his wife, gave her moderate chastiscmcnt-upon which the fair one ran home, and complained to her f'ther The father, pretending to be in desperate rage at the husband, said-what i? has the scoundrel really had the mpudence to beat my daughter ?-wcll, l shall be re- Nengtd upon him, for l am determined to teat his wife; which he did, and sent her home, and was no more troubled with the ouarlels of the parties; and MT Hawey

ChtrografhY.-"lt is generally believed that men of genus do write in very obscure, infirm, or eccentric character; such as Byron, and Chalmers, and Jeffrey, and Bonlparte."
 HERBERT.
 Washington wrote a fair, open, manly, straightforward line-every letter lcgible and distinct, bearing the same relation in the com position of the word that his actions all and singular bore in the formation of his general character-nothing hidden or misterous. lief terson's hand writing was bold and masculine -paitaklng of the c'earness, purity and firm ness of his own great mind. Bonaparte wrote most hidcous and unreadable scrawl-ap- bearing as though while writing he was at :. tempting to dodge an enemy's fre-very lit tie of the generalship about it. Burke's writ ting was most uneven and hurried -lookin as though his thoughts quarreled for uttcrance, and in their struggle put the outer man in Commotion.
 Hamilton wrote light running hand, quite sparing of ink. Cannings penmanship par took of all the chastelcss and classical purity, and at the same time of all the nervousness of his mind. Byron, "stooping to touch the loftiest thought, as though it scarce deserved his verse;" wrote "like very mad," to the great bespatterment of his ruffled shirt, which by the way, we believe, he never wore. We have had our eyes upon the scribblngs of di- vers other poets, diyines, statesmen, warriors, lords, and ladies. But these have long split their last quill, and death subscribed their pa- pers-Finis. We turn from the dead to the living.
 Madison writes fair, firm, upright line, without distinction of hair and body strokes i; and not unlike him writes Marshall. The autograph of J. Q. Adams is neat, manly ard perpendicular. Jackson writes rather d clum- sy, careless hand than otherwise, and yet it is characteristic of his frmness and indepen- dence. James Rents caligraph is perfectly unique--to be compared to nothing this side itself. Brougham writes nasty hand but with good pen and full of ink. Peel writes with stiff pen, but with considerable taste and soberness. Cobbett writes with fury just as he does every thing else. Dr Chal- mers, as if with the feathered end dipped in ink-a real spider scrawl. Webster like hopeful child of the tariff school, giving en- couragement that improvement will follow yer's hand, as though he wished no one could is rigid and scraggy, though tolerably legible. Croly writes with furious, rambling, ex- curslve, but most vigorous paw. Wadsworth, as though he bought ink by the barrel-a downright crowbar hand.-Jetfiey writes as though he wrote against time, with stick dipped in ink-nothing so hideous and unin- telligiblc; vet there is d power and vivacity about it not unlike the man. Crabb's hand writing is neat, elegant, and woman-like; ; and Mrs Hemans' masculine, bold and strong.

Historical Coincidence the CO., mcidences which appear in our history, there is scarcely one ich is more worthy of re- mark, than that relating to the two eras of the past and future commencement of the politi- cal year, and the distinguished individuals who flourished, and who still flourish in the history of this commonwealth. In the first place, by Constitutional majorities of the Le- gslatures of the two past years, and after ani- mated debates it has been decided ad ratifi- ed by the people, that in future, the political year shall commence on the first Wednesday m January, instead of the last "Wednesday in May. It has just been discovered, without hav- ing been noticed in the course of the debate on the amendment, that the frs, election and original commencement of the Government took place on the last We dncsday in May, l631, and consequently that the political year has been measured out from that season of the year, during precisely 200 years; at even end of 200 years, therefore, it has been 50 far as regards the time, accidentally determined to alter the period of commencement, of the political year, from May to January.
 In addition to this even measure of dura- ton tor the regular summer season, it hap pens that his Hon. THOMAS L. WINTHROP, d lineal deseendent of JOHN WINTHROP, first Governor in Massachusetts, Chief Magis- trate in 1851, is now ill 1881, after lapse of two even centuries, the worthy Lieutenant Governor of this State. This is most re- markable occurrence in the history of a truly republican State Nor is this all at this ve- ry period, the Hon. LEvERETT SALToN- STALL, lineal descendent of Sir RICHARD SALToNsTALL, who accompanied Governor Winthrop over to this country more than two hundred years ago, and who was one of the most distinguished of the early settlers, is at this period President of our Senate: on him would devolve the Executive duties, in case of the disability of the Governor and Lieut.. Governor. These coincidences we regard as among the most remarkable in the history of any Republic. Centinei

NIr Rush and HHti- aoHrV.-AlthCugh MT Walsh of the National G ,zette, has here tofore encouraged spirit of opposition to the administration of the general government n which anti-mason"y was blended, we cannt deny ourselves the pleasure of republ shng his remarks, on the letter of MT Rush, be- cause 1t comes from a personal and political friend of MT Rush, and therefore not likely to be governed by strong traits of hostility Reason must prevail in time over deusion, and MT Rush will discover that he has made an unfortunate movement, whatever may have been the object.
 "We have received from different sources, strictures exceedingly severe upon MT Rush's letter concerning Masonry. It is only a few days ago that we could bring ourselves toread this unique production. We regard it as high ly reprehensible, and shall, in due time, treat it accordingly That gentleman has denounc- ed and stigmatzed Me .Amrrican Press is ge- neral, with ferceness of i'vective which indicates great want If judgement as well as temper in the whole question. His charges, moreover, are altogether unjust. With re- gard to the Press, he is a want0n and vio- lent aggressor, against whom the journalists of this country should make common cause. It surprises us that his eXtravagant letter has found favor with any one American editor, except such of the corps as are specially de- voted to political anti-masonry. We have never had any communication with any ma son as such; we know not where the influence of masonry or masons is felt; by m possibili- tv could we be subject or obnoxious to it in the least degree. But we have always en- deavored to circumference and Will ever re- sist, the Anti-Mason;c excitement, as unwor- thy of the reason, justice, probty and candor of the American p .ople
 MT Rush appeared suddenly as new Pe- ter, the Hermit, preaching with tnricus zeal and hyperbol cal rhetoric, a wild crusade against what may be termed hhanfasmago goris, conjured out of d single crime, Teal or sup posed, the work of certain number of fdna- ties or mscreants, winch seems to have been as strongly rcprDbated by the masonic bodies, as by their antagonists. Enormous exagge- ration is the principal trait or leven of his Letter; in the tempest and whIrlwInd ot his passion, he has fallen into pAlpable inconsis- tencies and sophisms; and, as national poli- tician, he seems to have wholly forgotten the interests of Mir Clay, or deemed them utterly insignificant in comparison with other objects. As far as his present Reclamation may be ope- ratve, in the contest between the mere Jack son party and the National Republicans, it must be injurious to the cause of the latter, which is now the most important of our po- ltical concerns. We have never admired MT Rush as political economist, statesman or writer; but we have been accustomed to view him personally with much respect, and we therefore, in common with many of his ac- ouajntancc and well -wishers, sincerely regret the extraordinary leap which he has just made upon stage suitable only for different description of actors"
