Ertorting Charitable Deeds.-For sew
eral nights prior to the l7th inst. band oi
youngsters in New Orleans, sometimes
three and four thousand strong, had been
engaged in making hideous the sleeping
hours of newly married pair, consisting OF
rich old gentleman who had been uniting
himselft to blooming byide.-Gongs, tongsi
tin kettles, frying pans, horns, and all man
ner of instruments and implements where
with the air could be labored with discor-
dant noises, we're put in unceasing requlsl-
ton before the door Of the unhappy pair,
from whom their tormentors demanded a
donation Of $1,000 for the orphan boys
asylum. At the latest dates, both parties
remained inexorable aud the Ultimate re-
suit was the subject Of much speculation
and conjecture.

The trial of" General Sutherland was
commenced by court martial on the 18th
instant, sitting at Toronto, Upper Canads.
The Buffalo Journal has the following ac-
count of his attempt to commit suicide:
A friend, who crossed the Niagara river
yesterday from Waterloo, U. c anada, op-
poste this city, informs us that a letter had
been received by Colonel Kirby, of the
British force stationed at that place, stating
that Sutherland, who has been in close con-
finement at Toronto, On "Wednesday last
complained Of indisposition, and requested
the jallor TO furnish him with some warm
water and materials for writing few let
ters. The request was complied with, and
among the articles was penknife. A SEN
tinel was stationed in the cell with him.
Sutherland soon induced the soldier to lie
down and sleep, when, as it subsequently
appeared, he proceeded to immerse his
fee, and hands in the warm water, and then
deliberate opened the veins at both elbow
and ancle joints. The loss Of blood caus-
ed him to fall on the floor--,he noise nwak-
ening tile guard, the alarm was given, and
medical assistance procured in time to ar
rest the bleeding ahd save the prisoners
life. He has since been removed to one of
the garrison hospitals, and is still under
medical treatment.
The Palladium states that the four Amer
leans taken in arms at Hickory Island, nf-
ter the wiud-up of the French Creek, affair,
are to be tried at Kingston, under the same
act with Sutherland.

Lore Loeks.-A very old fashion seems
to have been revived among our modern
|" blndes," no more or less than the wearing
of long lock Of hair on the left temple.
This was the prevailing fashion, in the
reign of James |. and the ladies' gave to II
the name of the lore {" lock" as they often
clipt off lock as Keepsake of love. The
fashion expired with Charles to be revv-
ed during the popular reign of Victoria.

Steamboat John ". Richmond. This
splendid vessel is i'll rapid progress Of
completion. Her cabins are nearly finish
ed and the carpenters work is drawing to n
close. Her boiler, cylinder, and most of
the machinery has been placed in her and
she will probably be ready for service the
fore part of May. We believe it is conce-
ded that this boat is one of the finest mod
els which has ever been put aHoat; and
certainly she appears almost as though she
would fly through the water without a pro-
pelling power. Being something over two
hundred feet long, with her boiler on deck,
her cabins will afford the most spacious &C
connodations and all about her seems
expressly calculated for safety, speed, aud
comfort.
She has powerful engine, with stroke
of feet; and her paddle wheels are 2i4
feet in diameter. She was modelled and
built hv Col. John S. Eddy; her cabin
work is done by Messrs. Talman and Buck
Lin; and her engine is constructed by
Messrs. Babcock and Co. The whole is
honorable to our city. Success to the en-
erpri,e.-Providence Courier.

The Wechdnie.-If there is any man in
society upon whom we look with esteem
and admiration it is the honest and indus
trious mechanic, who by his own unaided
exertion has established for himself re-
spectacle station in society; who commen-
cling in poverty, by his skill and assiduity
surmounis every prejudice, and sue.
ceeds in establishing for himself a reputa-
ton whose value is enhanced for those who
come after him. Such man we prize as
the noblest work of which human nature is
capable, the highest production she can
boast. And let it ever be borne in mind by
the young mechanic just entering on the
stage OF active life, let it ever live at the
foundation, and be the moving spring Of all
his efforts, that this situation he must strive
to attain. 1t can be attained by all. I'm
firing industry and virtuous ambition,
never fail of their reward. They never
were yet exeried in vain, and never will be,
while honesty and justice are left in the hu-
man heart.
