WHAT NExT.--We have been inform
ed within few days past, OIL gobd au-
thority, that there is now living in the town
of Providence, a female by tie name of
Maria Snow Cornell. OF her character,
we say nothing, further than TO state what
ought to be known, viz. that there is how
no doubt but, that viewing the whole
case. this is the identical girl spoken of
by the witness on the stand in the trial Of
Avery, as Maria Snow at one place, as
Maria Cornell at another, and as Maria
S. Cornell al third. Thus has the char
acter of Sarah M. Cornell, the unfortu-
nate deceased, been loaded down with the
singularities, the frailties and the crimes
Of another whose name bore resemblance
to hers. Why has this been done? Let
those answer that best know. We do
hope this affair will be thoroughly inves-
tigated and publicly exposed, and the au-
thors Of it made to feel the full weight of
their merited punishment. Lives there
on earth fend, a devil, in human form,
that would or could resort to such meas,
ures for any purpose whatever? If there
be such beings let them be known that
they may be shunned.-FaN RiDer Mon

Why docs not the Monitor tell the
whole story. We have it on authority
which we have no doubt but is quite as
good as that quoted by the Monitor, that
this newly discovered girl at Providence,
is the real Sarah M. Cornell, and the only
one, and that The individual found hang
ing in the stack-yard, was a transient per-
son happening to resemble her. That in
fact the Cornell girl only ran away, leav-
ing the memorandum behind her as alrea-
dy stated. That she proceeded to Prov
idence and secreted herself, to see wheth
err her trap would catch Avery and involve
him in difficulty. The suicide of the
stack-yard happening just as it did, put
the climax upon the adventure, and ac-
compIished all she wished. She has
therefore remained hidden, until finding
that Avery is clear, she now exhibits her
self as trim as on the morning after she
had spunged the young fellow at Thomp-
son.
We advise all those who are fond of i'm,
probabilities, TO believe both these stories.
For ourselves, however, being rather in
credulous. we do not believe either of
them.-N Y. jour. of Commerce.

POETRY.
From the CINCINNATI Advocate.
NOWADAYS.

Alas! how every thing has changed
Since was sweet sixteen,
When all the girls wore home spun frocks
And aprons nice and clean;
With bonnets made of braided straw,
That tied beneath the chin,
And shawls laid neatly on the neck,
And fastened with "a pin.
But now a-days the Indies wear
French gloves and Leghorn hats,
That take up half yard of sky,
In brick-hod shape or flats,
With COWS that do not fall so low
AS such things ought to fall
with waists that you might break IN two,
lhey are SO very small.
irecollect the time when
Rode iathers horse to mill,
Across the meadows, rick, aud field,
And up and down the hill;
Ana when our folks were out at work,
AS true as I'm sinner,
L jumped upon horse bare back,
And carried them their dinner,
Dear me! young ladies nowadays
Would almost faint away,
10 think OF lldlng all alone
In Wagon, chaIse or sleigh,
And as for giving "Pa" his meals;
Or helping "Ma" to bake;
On! SAINTS, 'twould spoil their lilly hands
Though they sometimes make cake.

We find the following in the New York Globe:
 The amount of merchandise of eve y description sold in one year by New York to supply the other cities, towns and villages of the country, from Maine to New-O Orleans, may probably be esti- mated atSlOO,00O,000. This immense amount is partly sold for cash, but prin- cipally on credit. Probably the rest of the country is constantly indebted to New-York over Jyay millions for sup plies.
 On which the Philadelphia United States Gazette says-We believe that Philadelphia sells more ofthe merchan- dize usually denominated ssdry goods" to the western merchants, than does New-Yor!ks, though 1t is probable that a part of the Philadelphia supply is de- rived through the NewYork market.

 Portsmouth, Nop. 3.-The difficulties with regard to the settlement of the Dutch question, apprehended by the in- terposition of Prussia in favor of the King of Holland, are removed. It is now understood that ..,e King of Prus- sia IS not only moi aar'-iiiic to tine resolved measures of coercion of the two Powers (France and England,) against Holland. but that they have his perfect concur renee.
 The Convention ratified by the Eng fish and French Plenipotentiaries, has been ratified by the French Govern ment, and was returned on Saturday, clothed with the necessary formality of an international contract. The condi- tions of this Convention are drawn up with precision.

Any four com panies, that may choose to be joined to- gethcr, will be organized as a battalion under any field officer they may select, from the Regiment or Brigade, out of which such battalion may be formed, and any two hattalions. that may desire to be united, will in like manner be form ed into regiment. Volunteers will only be required 10 do duty in their re- spectve Nplunteercompanies, and arc exeaeEated from ali militia duty, to which they may now be liable. in their respective beats, or in the battalions or regiments 10 which they may now be- long.

 Our papers by Tuesday nights mail an- nounce the receipt of Gov. Haynes Pro- clamation.
 Legislature Report The Committee on Federal Relations, 10 which was referred the Proclamation of
 the President of the United States, have
 had 1t under alteration, and recom-
 mend the adoption of the following res olutions.
 VIM. c. PRESTON, Chairman.
 IeesotUed. That the power vested by the Constitution and laws in the President of the United States, 10 issue his Prociarna- tion, does not authorize him in that mode, to interfere whenever lie may think fit, in the affairs of the respective States, or that II should be used means of promniga- ting executive cxfositions ofth Constitu- ton, with tue sanction of force, thus sn- preceding the action of the other depart ments of the General Government
 Resolued, That 1t IS not competent to tho President of the United States to or der by Procianattvsi, the constituted :,.- thofltIes of State, to repeal their Iegis- !atioEi and that the late attempt ef the President to do so, Is unconstitutional, and manifests disposition 10 arrogate and exercise power utterly destructive ofiib- erty.
 Resoloed, That the opinions of the Pre- sldent Tn regard to the rights of the States are erroneous and dangerous, leading not only to the establishment of consolidated Government, in the stead of OUT free con federacy. but the concentration of all DOW CT in the chief executive. Resoiued, That each State in this Union has the right, whenever it may deem such a course necessary for the preservation of It's liberties or vital interests, to secede, peaceably from the Union, and that there is no constitutional power in the General Government, much less in the Executive Department of that Government, 10 retain such State in the Unicn, by force. Resotued, That the primary and para mount allegiance of tho citizens of the State, native, or adopted, is of right due to this State.
 Resolued, That the declaration of the President of the United States, in lis said Proclamation, of his personal feelings. and relations towards the State of s. Carolina. is rather an appeal to the loyalty of sub 1 jects than to the patriotism of citizens and is blending of official and indisidual cha racter heretofore unknown in our Stafe papers, and revolting to cur conceptions of political proprety.
 Resotoed, That the undisgused indul- gence of personal hostility, in the said Pro clamatiop, would he unworthy tine animal version this Legislature, but for the so- lemn and official form of the instrument which is made it's vehicle. 1 Resolced, That the principles, doctrines and purposes contained in the said Pro clamation, are inconsistent with any just
