The a~ncient poet, Martial hath said, che
that cannot 1--we well to day, will be less qua
iiGed TO 1--we well to. morrow THIS IS an
apt adage, for the heart that is contented with
the lollies Of one day, will scarcely seek to
prevent their repetition the next. A resoiu-
ton 10 reform Is OF little value, unless mne
diatelv acted upon, inasmuch as the passions
are exposed TO the same temptation, and yield
with the same ease rs before, regardless OF
the intention to keep them within restraint.
Procrastlnation is not only "the thief OF time
but the robher OF Virtue, when the hour 10
amend is postponed, the inclination is like
wise DELAYED: a new pleasure invites, and
Virtue Is robbed OF a follower. The wretch
who banquets on a poison, and resigns his
reason to the intoxicating draught, who wal
lows in the mlre of his own creation, is less
qualified for 10 morrow than the present
hour, he is each day deprived of some por-
ton of his mental or bodily faculties, becomes
more dependent upon a degrading habit, and

Polish Heroism.-At the storming oe
Warsaw tho principal battery was Do
Tended by only two bntalions, but with
such bravery as kistory can hardly par
allcl. When it was evident that il could
no longer hold out. several prIvates Of
the artillery seated themselves on pow
der barrels and blew themselves up.
But the conduct Of Gen. Sowinski was
truly heroic having lost one foot, he was,
at his earnest request, seated on chair.
and placed on the altar ofthe desperate
ly defended church, where he continued
to give orders until the last Of his COM
rades vas cut down, when drawing forth
two pistols, he, with one, si,oi Russian
who was rushing upon him, aud. with
the exclamation---"So dies Polish gem
eral !" fired the other through his own
heart.

Useful Discovery by Lady.-It 10

that an important discovery was made
at Copeley, Median county, by lady.
Mr.. Vail, his son, and another person,
were digging well, aud the son having
gone down FIRST, was prostrated on breath
ing the noxious damps below. His fa-
ther descended 10 his relief, and tho
third started for a physician; in the
mean time several ladies assembled at
the place, and ono threw down pail Of
water, most of which fell on the face Of
Mr.. v. who caught breath. rose and
seized the senseless body of his son. got
into the tub, and was drawn up by the
ladies. Water was Immediately applied
to the young man. which in short time
produced symptoms Of returning life.
Mr.. v. in few hours attained his usual
health and strength, and the young man
by medical aid, had SO far recovered as

ing day. The experiment of letting
down lighted candle was made, which
went out Of the distance of six feet FROM
the top of the well; n live chicken was
also let down, and Mt the depth of six
feet animation became suspended; hus
by pouring down water upon il, anima--
ton was Immediately restored. FROM
this it appears, that upon inhaling this
gas, life is only suspended, and that ths
application Of water will restore it; eth

tanned in the water, or fYr some other
caase.

ing, Il6
Lord Althorpe then gave notice that
previous to passing the Bill, it would be
necessary for him to submit some amend
ments. On the 23d, after divi sion on
ar amendment proposed by Colonel Sub
thorpe, which was treated with great lev
ity by the House, Lord John Russell
moved the final passage Of the BILL On
taking the question it was carried by ac-
clamation, and Lords John Russell and
Althorpe were ordered to carry the bill
to the Lords, and request their concur
renee therein.
In regard to the ultimate fate of the
bill, we have at length a glimpse of Off
cial light. Without the creation of a
large number of Peers, it is clear that
the bill stands but small chance in the
Lords, Notwithstanding the willingness of
Lords Harrowby and Wharnclff to al
low it to go to a second reading. But
there is now stronger evidence of a de-
termination on the part of the Ministry to
create batch of Peers, than has at any
time before appeared.
The "True SUM- supposes the crea-
tions are to be looked for imme diately.-
But we think not The Premier will first
ascertain his present strength in the
Lords, before he ventures upon this long
stride towards revolution. The Nor
ming Herald thinks there have been so
many converts among the Peers, that no
more than twenty new ones will be re-
quircd.
FRANcE.-The NouveIliste, a Govern
ment Journal, states, on the authority of
telegraphic dispatches received yester-
day, that tranquility continues to prevail
all over the country.
PoLAND.-A Paris paper of the 24th,
,says:-
The ukasc Of the Emperor Nicholas,
which has been brought, it is stated, to
Warsaw by Marshal Paskewitsch, is ex-
pected daily here. Its object is to divide
the last remnant of Poland into three
Russian provinces. The state of the
Poles in this country not being satisfac-
tory, Mr.. Lafayette, as President of the
Polish Club, has proposed subscription
for them to be opened in every canton of
France.
