HoRRIBLE.-It is not, we believe,
generally known, that rats particu larly
when rendered ravenous by protracted
hunger, will attack the sleeping, and
feed upon human flesh. Yet such is the
fact.-There are many instances on re-
cord of prisoners, when chained to the
floor oftheir dungeons, and the sick in
hospitals, who have, had their feet and
hands .gnawed off by these ferocious an
imals. Children are particularly liable
to be attacked when asleep and there are
frequent instances of infants being maim-
ed for life or even killed by rats. The
following occurred few nights since.
A poor woman who lives in Water
street, above Callowhill, in kitchen eel
lar much infested by rats, (such is the
lot of the poor,) heard her infant in the
course of the night wailing with a faint
and interrupted cry. Wearied with the
toll of the day, and surprising it merely
the fretfulness of infancy, she addressed
h herself again to sleep. Again she was
awakened and hearing the rats TO their
Internal revel, she lighted candle and
hastened to the cradle. The sight that
met her eyes was most frigbtful. A num-
Der of large rats were feeding upon her
infant. The child was already bathed
IN its blood, and ite face and limbs hor-
ribIy mangled by the animals with some
difficulty she drove off the rats, and res
cued her infant. An examination Of It's
wounds which were. numerous and Sc
we're, left little hopes of recovery. The
physician. however, is of opinion, that
though the amputation Of the arm
may be necessary the life of the little
sufferer may be saved.

as dangerous end iusiduous, and we be-
lieve that every person who regards his
individual independence, and that of our

Gen. JacksOn's Scholarship.

Five yeats ago the opposition toEen.
Jackson seriously contended that u was
SO ignorant ofletters, that, he coyd not
spell the most simple words, andAs ev-
idence of the fact, certain letter which
were penned by him in great hase, were
published, showing an omissionbf some
of the requisite letters Of the alphabet
The peaple, however, had confidence in
his integrity, and concluded to spell the
word selection" for him and let him 20
to the head Of his class; and last year
they put out the word "re-slection" Or
him, and the people promptly spelledit.
During his administration, the opp
sition have found that he can spell sope
short pords such as "ysto" "reform" Sc.
and last winter they discovered that ne
could read some long words, such as
qualification" "Proclamation" and the
like. Recently. they have found that he
can spell "public deposits" and the Uni
ted States Bank has been taught that he
can pronounce whole sentence, and the
peo pie say he spoke well. If he pro-
crosses three years longer as he. hasdone
for four or five years past, he viii be
come quite a scholar, for it is said 10 al
ready understands logic or the righ use
of reason, and it is pretty evident, from
the situation Of our foreign relations that
he has some knowledge ofthe Language
and the duties Of foreign nations.
Somebody has said that "every man
has his price"-but the recent struggle
of the mammoth will give the lie to this
doctrine-and if it should succeed in
forcing its way through CongresS, il will
find man at the helm, who will be able
and willing to save the Con stitution at its
last gasp. There is no man on earth
brave enough to approach Andrew Jack
bribe in existence that would call his at
tention for one moment from the great
duty con6ded to him by hi, country.

Rome to tolerate these forms II was

press early in the evening. we are are not
enabled to make any remarks upon it. The
Hall was filed with an attentive audience.
and We think there is no one who was dis.
pleased with the rich entertainment of mu-
sic. Mr.. Friend has been known and adj
mlred as an exquisite singer from his earliest
youth. He has been absent from US some four
or fve years, during which time his voice
has reached state of perfection rarely q
qualled. The sweet modulations of his o;ce
are enchanting Mr.. Friend accompsnies
himself with sweet toned violin, and both
together produce that concord of sweet
sounds" which Shakespeare speaks, when he
says Of
The man that hath no music in himself,

In another part Of this paper will be
found the infamous dan tyrannicaI cate
chism Of the Russian Despot and
vile coadjutors. How inferior must be
the discsrnment of that person, who,
upon reading this creed of the sanctified

not perceive to what desolating calami-

mental in efecting. The true language
OF a tyrant, is this" Let every soul be
