blue-I think shall visit New Haven, and startle
all the fair ones there deeply Professor Omstead
was with the meteors of November. Have they any
moss roses in New Havenl What sort of churches
have they? Have they good poultry? Are the pro-
fessors men Of the world humbugs! Are the stu
dents young rogues Have they good bottled por-
| ter? Is there any abolition under the elm trees!
am painting to know the whole.
EXTENSIVE FRAup.-A NJ Chauvere, a large mo-
ney changer in Paris, has been tried on charge OF
mixing lead with the ingots of silver which passed
through his hands. The fraud so ngenlously
managed that on melting the ingots the lead dlsap-
peared-and Tor hive years the mint and the public at
large had been swindled, to the great profit of the
swinder. 1t at length detected by breaking the
ingots in consequence of information received from
some discharged workmen Of the accused Chauyiere
in his defence admitted the fact, but alleged that it
was more than compensation for the waste and
losses sustained by him in melting the metals After
protracted trial of many days, he found guilty
condemned to years lmprlsonment fine of l5,-
| 600 francs to $4,000 for damages and all the ex-
| penses
| Chauviere was man of no education. Thirty years
| AGO he commenced business a shoe black in the
Porte ST. Denis, afterwards became assistant 10 mo-
ney changer, and by long habits of industry and
wing gained immense riches, the Thirst to increase
| which has betrayed him into the act which lead to
his ruin Apropos-Was the crime Of Chauvere great
than that of many Of those who issue paper no
| capital!
| II THE BosToS Posi- in copying some re-
marks made by US, on Mr. Websters movements
here, says" taken from paper opposed to the ad-
minstration" This is an untruth, and request
the Boston Post the error shall strike
him from exchange list, out Of the pale of
moral accountability. The Herald is opposed, or in
favor of no administration. OF the seven principles
Of the last administration-fve loaves and two small
fishes-we opposed majority of them-of the 81 sin
gle principle" yet developed of the pre,ent-anti-abo
lition-we approve the whole We are an independ-
cnt and rational paper. We support the adminisra
tion when think it deserves support-oppose it,
when it deserves opposition. SO of every party.
We will thank tn. Post to republish this correction
at length, and do us justice.

Where are they now!
Why sir, they have let all their land notes lay
