CHESTER WRIGHT IN INDIA.

Mr.. Walton:-Have the goodness to give
publicity TO the accompanying letter. And
that it may be understood, allow me TO give
some explanation relative TO it.
About twenty years ago Female Juvenile
Missionary Society was formed in this village,
for the support of two heather children inCcy-
Ion, male and female, TO be named Chester
and Charlotte Wright. The Society paid the
requisite sum for this purpose, six years, the
time specified by the Board Of Foreign mis-
sions as being desirable 10 continue such
youths in the mission families; when, the ORR
ginal contributors having become 10 consd-
cradle extent dispersed, the Society was dis
solved. Information was at one time recciv-
cd that n lad had been selected and named,
but that he proved inconstant and was dismiss
sed. think that female child has been cd
uca,ed, but do not now recollect particulars
Very recently The following letter reached this
place, directed 10 the Society; but SO long a
time had elapsed since the dissolution oil the
Society, that it was not, al first, unders God. =
Scarcely one Of those who were active in sus-
tanning the organization is now a resident here
Ii is, however, presumed that such is the re-
spect entertained in this community for theii
former pastor, and such will be the interest
created by this communication from you'll
Just emerging from heathensm, that The
youth of the place will feel a pleasur and
privilege in meeting this appeal, and take
measures accordingly. The lad now named
supplies the place of the former one, and will
doubtless prove worthy of aid. The note al
the close is from one OF the missionaries.

In the Bennington Gazette of July 25,
speaking of The journals OF The last Legisla-
ture, we find the following remarks:
"ll Ohe journals) would show that de-
mocrat moved 10 have The private property
OF the stockholders in our banks and other

the yeas and nays that every democrat was

bove paragraph is totally false; that nei-
Their the Journal of the Senate, House Of
daily papers published at Montpelier during
the last session OF the legiSla afford any
evidence upon which TO ground such a
gross violation of The truth. The igno-
rance and total want OF information exhb-
tied in the article, are no less signal than
the !alsehoods which it contains.

sign his seat as Governor Of N. H., as that
I the private property OF stockholders in our
banks should be holden for the debts of the
banks, none OF which had been chartered
within the last three years. But did a
'democrat" make such proposition, even
to any bill or act Of Incorporation?
Mr. Field, Of Wilmington, proposed to
amend the bill to recIarler the bank of ST.
Adams, SO as 10 make the directors liable
&c. A leading Wing, proposed to amend
The amendment by inserting stockholders in.

was voted down without calling the ayes

Instead of its being true, that Van Blu

ny MARY EMILY JACKSON,
Say-by what ancient race
Thou hast been peopled, City of the Past,
And why thy ruins empires should outlast,
That we may trace
Only where thou hast been, ere Red Man pressed
The savage borders of the mighty West 2
Speak to us from thy walls,
Thou spirit, breathing mildew and decay,
And tell us of nation passed away,
Whose courily halls,
Perchancc, have echoed to the voice of fame
What thou hast been, and why thy mistic namel
Say-why thou sleepest here,
In the far forests where the wild boasts of prey,
Or beings still more rude and fierce than they,
Have made man fear
10 plant his footsteps mid the ruins vast,
Or learn from thee the records Of the Past2
And where the mighty dead, [things2
Now pass'd from earth as pass earth's transient
Where are the sleeping ash - OF thy kings2
And who're have hed
The early founders of an unknown race,
Who made in thee their strong abiding place?
Hadst thou no mastering mind
Within thy towering walls, thy ruin old,
Whose high-wrought deeds thy majesty unfold,
And leave behind
The fragrance of name, that man might know
Who were thy conquering heroes long ago2
Was there no gift of thought
No light of beauty in thy ancient halls? falls
No thirst for fame where mans proud footstep
Till deeds were wrought
Shedding glory that should pass away,
Yet leave their shadows lowering DER decay?
City of days gond by, [deep,
Long hast thou slept mid old woods dark and
Where the broad rivers of the forest sweep!
Yet thou dost lie
Still beautiful in ruins, and we look
Out on thy wreck as on blotted book
IT'S not that we should trace, Thrown,
BY whom thou hast been reared, by whom DER
Or where thy ancient jewellers now have flown,
Mysterious place!
What thou hast been and what we yet may be,
Is all, thou ruin, wo may learn from thee!

Ernst, the celebrated runner of Norway,
whose extraordinary celebrity has often been
alluded to, is at present at Pesth, says tho
Frankfort Journal. He has made tho
journey from Munich to Greece in "a days.
and from Paris to Moscow in Ii days..
He took only 40 days to perform the dis,
lance on foot from Constantinoplc to Cal

fact, were it not fully authenticated. He
returned to Constantinople by crossing
Tartaryp Teheran, and Mount Taurus, and
delivered to count Attetska, ambassador
from Medi to the Ottoman Porte, letter
from Teheran, which he had only eight days
in his possession. In addition to the Scan
