New HAMpsnIRE.-The late election
in this state has resulted as we had reason
to expect, in the re.eection of Gov. Hill,
but by majority so small as to leave
"his little excelency" no occasion for
exul'a'ion. One pull more and The Gra-
mite State is redeemed. So posra,e and
powerless have the Wings been 10 New
Hampshire for the last ten years that they
have had no organization whatever, and
have allowed every thing to 60 by default
Therefore the Tories have almost always
carried the entire council, the entire
Senate. and five six,hs of The House. The
present Tory majority in the state is only
ABOUT three thousand. while the Wings
have carried five Of the twelve Seno ors,
and, according to the Statesman, ma
jori,y Of the representatives. This, how
ever, is denied by the Patriot, which
claims majority Of l2 or Is. Concord,
Portsmouth, Dover, Nashua, Kcenc, and
most Of the olhc. business towns have
elected Wing members. The majority
against Hill in his own town was l6O,
while Keene gave Mr.. Wilson rising OF
300 majority. Men are generally pretty
well appreciated about home. The whin
net goin since the last contested election is
more than six thousand. Speaking Of ,hi.

FROM ENGLAND.-The news Of the affair at
Schlosser, (eceived AT Liverpool Feb lst by the

sage to Congress on the subject, and Gov. Marcy's
Message 10 The N. Y. Legislature, had created a
good deal Of sensation in Eng land. The minise.

the Courier, put right construction upon these
Messages, and evnce also disposition to treat tho
affair complained Of according to its merits. In
like manner Lord GleneIs, The British Minister,
declared in the House Of Lords, that if on the 70.

Our tory neighbors who breathe blue fl and smoke

as well as with large philosophical
views--with all descriptions Of the
country SO graphic, visions of prosper

and in style so lofty and eloquent,
that it created the greatest sensation
in his enlightened assembly, When
he taught the truth, he thrilled them
with his eloquence. While he touch-
ed our vanity, he rebuked our neglect.
While he paid the highest compliments
to the political character of the State,
he did not spare that want of enterprise
which suffered so many treasures to

IHE GRATEFUL SAILoR.-A few
weeks since the following scene was
witnessed at Sunday school taughtin
small building in Schuylkill Front,
near Arch street, Philadelphia, which
has been long occupied as place for
gratuitous religious instruction.
After the conclusion of the exercises,
sailor belonging to the navy, who
had appeared to stroll in accidentally.
asked permission to say few words,
which being granted, he stated that
twenty-one years ago he had been
taught to read in that room, and as he
remembered to have heard at that
time that it required some money to
supply the school with books and for
other necessary expenses, he wished
to present three dollars, which he at
once paid. He further Stated, that as
he was about to leave the country with
the exploring expedition with the pros.
pect of being absent at least three
years, he would leaye an order by
which the school would receive fly
cents every month as long as he was
away.
This is noble contribution, and q
better reward to the teachers of that
sailor than if they had received large
salaries for their services. How ma.
ny ofthose whoare under obligations to
Sunday schools remember them with
such sincere gratitude. Sunday School

A CARD PARTY.-lt is related OF
Madame du Deffan, that three of her
friends brought card table to her
bedside, at her request, in her last
illness she taking hand. As she
happened to die in the midst of an in
teresting game, her partner played
dummy for her, and thus the three
quietly played it out, and settled the
stakes before they called the servants
to notify them of the very inopportune
demise of their mistress. This is a
tough story, but we can believe 1t, or
any other respecting gamblers which
comes within the range of possibility.
Gambling deadens the perceptions OF
right and wrong, blunts the sensibili-
ties, destroys pity, sympathy, and
other human emotions.

Monday were to day presented in the

to be sacred. One Of these petitions
asks for the repeal of the laws which
prohibi ordinary labor on the Sab

ing clergymen from performing the
marriage contract and from acting as
inspectors of public schools. In reply
10 an inquiry OF Mr.. Taylor, as to
