vass. was of the most unrelenting character
Almost wear ago they sent orders for a party
Convention, which assembled accordingly in
December last. and nominated candidate In
opposition To Mr.. Mobiles re election. This no.
minaton they sustained with all the power in
their hands, and, in pursuit Of their ends, tits
averred, even deprived Mr.. Noble of the bene-
fit of the mails in keeping up communication
with his friends. His circulars, in reply to his
opponents, were detained or intercepted, and
DESTROYED, to such an extent, that he oblig
ed to employ horsemen, and despatch them with
his letters in different directions and his friends
were obliged to do the same to communicate
with him. These facts. extraordinary as they
appear, are vouched for to US in such manner
that we cannot doubt them. This Is bringing

4 Miserable Pna-During the speech Of Chs.
j. lngersol', at the Van Buren, meeting in South.
wark on Monday night, he said that the Wings
had raised . dreadful political hurricane, cal
led by the sailors haFFcdRe, but by US, the friends
ofthe administration, described as Hurry C7Gy!"
Mr. Ingerso paused after this effort, antcpat-
ing applause. Not a solitary whisper ensued;
but on the contrary, general expression OF
contempt was uttered throughout the assembly.
We have heard many miserable attempts at
punning in the course Of our brief career, but
this we consider as the most signal failure. For
the truth of our statement. we appeal TO Doctor
Sutherland, or any other individual who was
present at the meeting.-PhH. Ing.

Wac carly nc January
change the principles of that Bill, and substitute
in its stead the one subsequently passed greatly
increasing the vane Of gold!
Immediately upon this determination were
not the Pet Banks in this city and the Govern
ment Brokers' appriscd of it, and directed to pur-
chase upon Joint account all The gold they could
find in market?
Did not the Marquis Of Carmarthan's Bank
purchase under this notice $4,000 of gold, and
did not the entire purchases of the Pets and
Brokers on joint account exceed one million OF
dollars?
When this was accomplished, did not Amos
Kendall draft the Gold Bill subsequently passed
without opposition?
In consequence of the increased value given
to gold by this Bill, did not the firm of Kendall
& Go. receive upwards of $40 600 us their share
of the specuation2
These are all important questions, and should
be promptly answered by the Globe. We pause
for a reply.-N y. COur.

I" Up to Snuf:"-A volume of Italian poems
lately received in the British Metropolis, furn-
lshes fine amusement for the learned wits
Leigh Hunt has shown himself up to snuff in
giving merry Interpretation to some Of these

the lines on SneeZng:
What moment! What doubt,
All my nose, inside and out,
All my thrilling, tickling, caustic,
Pyramid rhnocerostic
Wants to sneeze and cannot do il!
NOW ityearns me, thrills me- stings me,
NOW with rapturous torment rings me,
Now says Sneeze, you foo get through il.
Shee-shee Oh tits most del-ishi
-isht-most del iShi-
Hang it! | shall sneeze till spring1
Snnft's most delicious thing.
