THE HOUSE.

The Baltimore American thus aludes to the late
disorganized state of the House OF Representatives
We have head of travellers in fog who having
lost their way found themselves after much dgent
locomotion at the point they started from There Is
also record the adventurous journey of Tony
LUMpKiN when he turned coachman who drove forty
good miles in the of concentrc circles, giving
his passengers at the time taste of every ditch
in the neighborhood Nor forget the notable
xpedton of the King of France and his thirty thou
sand men. But the best smlle Is to be found in the
voyage Of Ulysses who having got the loan Of breeze
from Eolus the same being compressed into bag, it
happened that by some precptate or careless hand
ling stopper out too soon and the whole fleet
after being driven to and fro for days, forced
at last in shattered condition back into port.
1t is not every man that should be trusted with
breeze, a certain honorable gentleman from Massa-
chusetts ought to know II is thing to let II loose
and another thing TO regulate it aterwards-he latter
requiring genius of no ordinary power

MIR WEBSTER

The Nsic Orleans Be says the mass Of the adj
minis,ratlon here elsewhere in the extreme South
as well as IN Massachusetts, and New York repose the
most implicit confidence IN Daniel Webster, and ho-
nestly believe that no ADLER purer could have
been selected from among the nation to fulfil the i'm
portant functions entrusted TO him

Several persons, lrshmen and negroes have been
arrested in the vicinity of New Orleans on suspicion
Of being concerned in the supposed piracy and murder
on board the ship Charles. Some think that the old
pirate Laite, who has been living at Paraguay has
returned again to his congenia pusuits
The New Orleans Courier says: if no act OF yilainv
too atrocous for the marked progress of vice
we may well feel surprise that pirates waited so long
and having thus waited at last commenced within
sight OF the shore The sckly dead has be
gun along the shores of the Mexican Gulf and few
prizes of much value may be looked for now Again
there is the u s. squadron and more than one cruzer
Of France and Eng land in the Gulf through which
pirate would have TO run the gauntlet the moment his
first depIedatons should be bruited abroad So that
admitting captains and filters pirates to be pos
sessed ofthe least discernment can hardly magn
they would choose the Gulf Of Mexico for the scene OF
their operations during summer. Still, folly and
knavery-crme and short-si ghtedness- are by no
means rare companions, we will not presume to say
that the case Of the Charles may not offer an instance
OF piracy.

ern paper in speaking Of the progress Of the exami-
nation going on at West Point, remarks that "the
Board usual, is composed of distinguished citizens
from every part of the u. S." This compliment is
certainly due TO the members of the present Board OF

anything other than partzan services rendered by

ously incorrect
Though there are usually, and have ever been, so
far as we are informed many distinguished and meri-
torious men among the visitors yet there were last

among them utterly incapable of experimenting the

Mr.. Henry Coolrijge Of birmingham, Mass,
very worthy young man, died on Saturday,
in consequence, as his physicians suppose, of
poison communicated TO his blood by a razor
with which he shaved himself soon after he had
shaved the face of his deceased father.
The father was patriot of the revolution, n
pcnsioner. and advanced beyond the age Of cgh-
ty, and in shaving the face Of the corpse tic Ia
zor drew little 5iood The son, without wpng
the razor, made use Of it TO shave his own face,
on which he also drew a little blood, and he
made use Oft the same ather and brush which ne
had used on the corpse. Soon after his face be-
came much swollen and he gradually grew worse
for about ten days, being much of that time in
great torture, till he died.
1t is certainly possible, and it seems probable,
that particle Of the putrd matter from the face
of the corpse was communicated to the blood of
the living, and that it operated with as much
malignity as the virus by which the small pox is
propagated.

The Louisville Journal states that two or three
weeks ago three hundred foreign emigrants arri-
we'd at the Balze, below New Orleans. The
city authorities, hearing Of their arrival, and anx-
ious that they should not fall victims to the yellow
fever, sent a deputation, warning them not to en-.
ter Tie city, and offering to furnish them with the
means of subsistence until the pestilence should
subsde. The emgrants thought that it was all
Yankee trick. 1--WE arc told" said they to the
doputation, ''that we can make three dollars day
in New Orleans. IL the authorities will pay us
that, we will stay where we are ; If not, not."-
The poor fellows FASTENED to the city; and, at
the last dates, it is said that not one of them was
living.
