The trial Of DR.. Yaughon, charged with
the murder OF Robt w. Pleasants, has COM
menced in Richmond. The whole of Friday
and Saturday last were consumed in arguing
whether Jacob Shock, the venre-man called
was a good Juror. Mr.. S. stated that he had
formed and expressed an opinion in regard to
the prosecution, from detail of the evidence
which had been communicated to him by a
gentleman who had heard it but that il
sworn us Juror, he could nevertheless give
the prisoner fair and impartial trial. The
counsel for the prisoner, John ID. Munford,
X. G. Scot, and John Tyler contended that
he should be excluded from tho panel, and
James Lyons, on the part Of the Common
wealth, replied-Mr. Tyler takes the place OF
Chapman Johnson, Esq. whose indispostion
prevents his taking part in the trial.
On Monday, Judge Nicholas sustained the
objection Of the counsel of the accused to the
competency of Shock rs a juror. The re-
mainder of the venire were then called, all
nf whom were challenged rercmptoriiy and
the other accepted. A large number of by
ISLANDERS were then called, but at the close
of the day only three jurors were impannel-
led. The Court adjourned the case till We'd

EouAlIry OF THE SfxFs.-The Now York
Journal Of Commerce thus sums up JeW OF
the grievances under which the "lords OF
creation" labor, in The distribution OF powers,
rights, and privileges, between the sexes
The dolcfl account is drawn up IN reply to
those lccturing periectionists of the feminine
gender, who arc reviving the exPlooed
theories OF the Woolstoncralt School, VINO
hold wOnen's conventions, and IN WORD,
profess to believe that all the existing iDstl-
tutions Of society and its present distribution
of rights aud enployments are founded In err.
ror and unsuitable to what the renowned
Stupeo would have termed the fitness oil
things. But hear the Journal OF Commerce,
while, under the caption Of the "rights oil
women" it discourses SO eloquently upon
the wrongs ofmen. Surely our sufferings Is
intolerabIe
THE RIGmrs OF WOMKN.-Some ladies'
have distinguished themselves by declaiming
against tho oppression OF women, which they
say exists in our christian land. They say
women are kept in a condition Of inferiorliy
to men, and that Of right they ought to be
equal. We have been thinking the matter
over, and have come TO the conclusion That
the wrong is quite the other way, and that II
rights ought to be divided half aud half, we
should be for new division. Not on the
ground upon which Miss Griinkc goes, that
men are not women, or permitted to engage
in womcn's occupations, but because, when
the smp!e question Of superiority is at issue,
the men always have to givei up. u ladies
and gentlemen meet OIL the side walk, who
has t. turn out? If there are not seats
enough for all the company, who has to stand
up? When there is danger to face, who
must go forward? If there is curiosity to
crafty, who goes behind? If there is too
much company for the first table, who eats
at the second? Who has always The right
hand and the most respectable position P
We could mention Il hundred other cases, in
which, OH the simple question Of right, every
thing is yielded to woman. But there arc
many cases in which the condition OF men is
still worse. For instance, if on any public
occasion pew at church, or seat any where
be occupied by men ever so respectable, and
aged, a smirky little beauty, trips along and
presents herself at the top Of the seat, and
they must all jump up and clear out as il
they had been shot. Especially ought it Ia
be noticed, that when matrimonial negocia-
tions are to be made, the whole burden OF
performing the delicate and often very en-
barrassing part ofmaking proposals, is thrown
UPON the men, while the women sit and say
no, no, no, as long as they like, and never
say yes until they have mind to. Mrs
Angelina Grimke Weld may show cata-
logue Of eqna! grievances ii she can.

rHe PARKs AND SoUAREs IN Ionic

THE PARIS AND SQUAREs IN LONDON
But what distinguishes London above all
other cities am acquainted wIth,s the parks.
Only fancy, in the midst Of the town, the
most verdant lawns, of very considerable ex-
tent, here and there adorned with picturesque
groups of trees, broken by large pieces of wa
ter, and to complete the rural appearance,
numbers Of sheep and cows feeding on them
then fancy the striking effect Of the great
masses Of architecture, such as the venerable
Westminster Abbey, for instance, rising in
tho distance, above that verdunt world, and
YOU will have some idea of the charm of
these parks. Two of them, the st. James
and the Greek Park, are for the pedestrians
only, but in the two larger ones, Hyde Park
and the Regents Park, there arc, every af-
tcrnoon in the season, hundreds of the most
brilliant cquipages, and troops Of ladies' and
gentlemen on horses, many of which would,
perhaps, delight the eye Of The sculptor OF
celebrated horses head Of the Parthenon, and
these with the crowd Of pedestrians, afford q
most gay aud varied spectacle. The squares
are another popularity of LONDON. There
arc large open squares, surrounded with
houses, the centre being laid open as gar
den, with grass plots and parterres Of flowers,
shrubs, &c. These gardens, nclosed by iron
ratings, are kept in perfect order at the ex.
pcnsc of the labitants of the squares, who
alone have the use Of them. Two Of the
principal, both for extent and the surrounding
houses, arc Grosvcnor Square, and Belgrave
Square, the last of which has been but lately
built DR.. Hagen.

We perceive through a aragraph in Tie

possible necessity Of starting some other par.
ty candidate for tho Presidency, in lieu of Mr..
Van Buren, himself Such course will pre-.
sent curious problem for the party meta.

ever, is significant one, and reminds rs Of o
