FACTS ARE STUBBORN THINGS.

In printed English table, now before us, a
list is given of the sums of money raised at one
time in eleven different counties in England for
the purpose of transporting three hundred and
t,Oenty paupers TO .Hmerica. The total amount
raised was g2, ,493 or ll,068.92. The several
sums raised in each county are minutev stated.
1t appears that the average amount paid for each
pauper was about 81. Cheap enough! Wonder
if it will cost US less to support them through
life! Their aid at the ballot-boxes, however, may
somewhat diminish that expense if they continue
to be paid the price which zoe hnow was paid to
great numbers of foreigners for their votes last

Influence Of Irishmen at the West.-At the
late election in Chicago, Illinois, an Hishman
was run against na'ire american citizen for
sheriff. and though the Hishman had been bit T
months IN the country, he a0as elected!! Seven
hundred Irishmen were brought up to the polls:
and voted on the occasion! "All the Irish on
the Canal says the Chicago Democrat, . to the
number of fve thousand, voted at the late state
election, though the maority Of them had not
been three months IN .4merica!! They had de-,
clared how they would vote and defed the au-
thorltles and every other power also. What think
you these creatures knew, or what did they care:
about the nature and cost Of our Institutions e.
They lately rushed in body into the town of
Gelena and committed the most attrocious acts.
The citizens were called out under arms to pro-,
tect their property and lives ~. Banner.

Noble LiberaHty.-It will be recollected that
we published, few weeks since the fact, that a
farmer IN Belchertown cleared nearly SIS 900 on
the product of three-fourths of an acre of mnlber-
rles. We have since actually learned another fact
in relation to this individual, which we cannot re-
train giving to the public. The gentleman allud-
ed to makes it practice to give one-ffh of all his
annual income to charitable objects and this
year, having been highly prosperous, his contri-
button in this way, will not be less than tavo
thousand dohars! Is there another case in the
Commonwealth Of equal liberality We have
withheld the name Of this benevolent man because
we suppose his humility and unobtrusiveness
would not covet the vain honor of having his name
trumpeted abroad, in connexon with his noble
llberaliy, which have made known to
the public without his knowledge. Hampshire

MYSTERIOUS DIscovERY.-As some of the la

car house and machine shop, in Shamokin, were
at work, person standing by discovered two
Spanish dollars lying on the ground. Search

raj inches OF the surface Of the earh the skeleton
OF man was discovered, besides sixteen more
Spanish dollars, and some copper coin lying on
heap. pistol ready cooked, and several bullets
were also lying close by. The stock of the pis-
tol had entirely mouldered away. part of

ENGLISH WAR PROSPECTS.

The London United Service Journal, for Sep
tember, contains some speculations upon wars
and rumors of wars, which seem to augur any
thing but peace for the reign of the maiden Queen.
We subjoin an extract:
To whatever quarter of the globe we turn our
eyes, the aspect of our political relations portends
a storm. 1t is the general opinion even Of mode
rate parties in Canada, that war with the States
is imminent, inasmuch as there exists in the latter
party clamorous for hostllities with the mother
country, with view to the seizure of her pro-
vnces; and however pacific the dispositions of
the respective governments and the majority OF
the American citizens may be, still there is vo-
lence IN the evil principle represented by the tur-
bulent minority Of the eudo-Union, which, it is
feared, will act as ''pressure from without in
forcing their government into an aggressive war,
likely to recoil fearfully on themselves. The ad-
justment of the Boundary Question, which i'm
pends, will add fuel to the fame Farther south,
Mexico, which is weak, is threatened with ven
geance for offences which nobody seems to under
stand, by France, which is strong. For the for
mer eyer-shittng and anomalous Republic little,
however, is cared beyond the interruption OF the
commerce which her mines and produce still ena-
BILE her to support.
In the opposite quarter of the globe the cloud
of war lowers on the heights of Herat and dark
ems the eastern horizon. The siege of that place
is conducted by Russian officers, under whose in.
fluence the Persian Court appears to act. and oul
envoy to Persia, Mr. M'Ne, has quilted the
camp of the Shah, and Withdrawn the British
officers attached 10 the Persian service, while q
British force has been sent for precaution to Bu'
shire. The question of war or peace in the Eas
appears actually to rest with one whose expert.
ence, ability, and perfect fitness for his mission
enttle his acts to the full confidence Of his coun.
trymen-we allude to Lieutenant Colonel Sil
Alexander Burnes, whom we rejoice to name
by his new and well deserved style. 1t will be
recollocted that this officer is at present our di
plomatc agent at Cabool, whore he is on the bes
terms with Dost Mahomed and the Afghans.
Germany is uneasy; Holland and Belgium
France and Switzerland scold; and the African
conquests of the French will also, we are persua
ded, involve us, ere long, with that restless ma
ton.
Our object in glancing at these signs of the
times is to call attention to the expediency o
placing and keeping our naval and military es
adjustments on the most liberal and efficient foot
ing; for the truism cannot be too often or toe
earnestly repeated, that the best security for peace
is an attitude of thorough preparation for war.

Because he runy the bell.


The spenetic part of the above paragraph de-
serves no mention from its weakness, and want of
truth and application in this individual instance,
however true 1t may be in others. We therefore
proceed to the next paragraphs:
''Some apology for this may be conceded to
them, in the improper manner, as has appeared to
me and to Others in which the property has lately
been advertised for sale by its proprieors, whose
names have been withheld, while mine has been
presented most prominently to the public, as if
still the owner, and subjected in consequence,
to the inconsiderate and erroneous comments
which have followed. Had the circulation of such
comments been limited to the narrow sphere Of the
community we live in, / should have nothing to
say, satisfied that like the "seed which fell on a
rock, they had perished quickly for lack of mois-
ture.' But, made as they have been, and widely
copied, respectable people, uninformed, now, it
seems, are disposed to believe them. 1t appears
to be necessary, then'to say to you and to others,
that sold the property in question between two
ana three years ago, to company OF gentlemen,
who bought it upon speculation, and that have
% since had no pecuniary interest in it whatever.-
Inc sale was esteemed advantageous by my fami-
~ and friends, and has not been regretted.
In this paragraph he completely exonerates the
press from blame, and shows that it ought to rest
upon the spectators, who drew SO improperly
upon their sympathy and good feeling. And yet
In the following, he INDUCES in strain of sarcasm
and insult towards the same editors for having
evlnced that degree Of sympathy which they could
not but feel and express, believing as they did that
Inc occasion called for it. If the editors were de-

WASTED SYMPATHY.-Some2 2 or 3 years since,
when the rage of speculation was at it's height,
and property had advanced far beyond its intrinsic
value, z. Slgourney, Esq, we suppose we must
give him the title he claims on account of his
wealth, but with us more on account of his gifted
LADY, sold his residence for $22, 900, probably
four times its real, or before supposed value. The
purchasers advertised it for sale, as the former re-
sldence Of Mrs. Sigourney, unhandsomely draw
ing upon public sympathy for the supposed mis-
fortunes which had reduced her to the necessity
of parting with her beautiful residence, unto which
1t was well known she was very much attached.
The editors of papers generally fell into the trap
SO artully spread for them, and which her hus-
band allowed to go uncontradcted, until at length
his pride of purse becoming offended, he has come
out with attack upon the editors in the indie
cent manner contained in his letter to N. P. Willis,
which we give below in paragraphs, as more con-
venlent for the purposes of comment:
.. From the N. Y. Mirror.
TO N. P. Willis, Esq.
DEAR SRA friend has pointed out to me an
article in late New York Mirror from YOUR
pen, to recognize which, has usually afforded me
pleasure, in which my name is used, and the cir
ofmy family adverted to, in manner
which, not being true, can hardly be agreeable
Unluckily for me, it has been somewhat of a FASH
ion OF late, with some gentlemen of the quill,
whose chief ambition is to pen pungent para
graph, no matter whether true or not, to furnish
the empty head something to wonder at, and whose
wit runs ahead of their judgment, to make frequent
illusions to me and my family, in connection with
the sale Of a certain estate in this place which
formerly owned"
AS to Mr.. Sgourney, we do no not think that
any editor of paper, however obscure, would
have thought him worthy of passing mention,
and it has only been his connexon with lydia
Huntley which elevated him into something like
public notice, as the husband of this talented and
accomplished lady, who honored and conferred
distinction upon him by giving him her hand
His claim to distinction, reminds us of these old
