SuiclDn.--Joseph p. Peters, manulaciu-
rer and vender of Peters celebrated pills
and lozenges, committed suicide on Satur-
day night, by strangling himself with his
pocket handkerchief in his room at the board
ing-house OF Mr.. George Ruck, No. le7
Liberty street, New York. Deceased, it
seems, had been for several years IN poor
health, and of late has been very much de-
pressed in spirits. One day last week he
purchased some prussic acid for the purpose
Of destroying himself, but was prevented
by some of his friends, who became acqain-
ted with the fact, To whom he stated that
he was very much embarrassed in his pecu-
MARY affairs, from which it was impossible
Tor HIM ever to he extricated. He was
man or about thirty or thirty-five years OF
age, and of temperate habits. On Satur-
day night he retired as usual, and on Sun
day morning was found dead in his bed
chamber, having strangled himself with his
handkerchief by attaching il to bedpoSt,
his legs resting upon the floor. A letter
was found in his room addressed to his wife,
who is "a, present Portsmouth, Rhode ISL
and.
The coroner held an inquest upon the
body, and the jury rendered verdict OF
suicide by hanging himself with handker-
chief while in fit OF temporary derungc-
ment.

of Representatives. Of the United States OF
America, in Congress assembled, That in
all cases when any entry has been made,
under the pre-emption laws, of land which
was public land, subject to sale at the date
of such entry, and when patents for the
same have not been issued from the Cen
eral Land Office, because of the original
tract claimed, or the float arising therefrom
exceeding the quantity specified in the law,
or when the adjudication has been made
by the receiver and the clerk of the regis
ter, acting in the stead of the register, or
when the proof upon which the claim is
founded is not in the form, nor full as to
all the facts required by law, but substan-
italy so, such entries and sales are hereby
confirmed, and patents shall be issued

Would pallid be from memory's rays;
little thought thine eye Of blue
Had eught beam or glance untrue.
There was time where at thy side
At set Of sun or even tide,
With lovelit eye, and trusting smile,
The moments passed all free from guile.
But now that eye to me is cold,
To me those lips do not unfold,
That smile, like Heaven, once SO true,
Departed is as morning dew.
Yet still for thee heaves this lone breast
And still art thou, life's only zest;
Remembrance whispers days of yorc.'

And the blighted hopes mourn!

Dear Sir: We hatter ourselves tina, YOU will re-
eognise our names, as those who were students Of
william and Mary, and will remember US as Of the
number who were IN the habit OF resorting 10 your
conVefsauon rs source OF instruction, political
and constitutional law. We trus, that YOU need
no assurance Of our gratitude for the benefits that
we have derived from your society; yetit giyes M
pleasure 10 say how much we ,Rave been indebted
70 you for those views Of the Constitution OF the
United States, in which We have been enabled IN
see how fully it deserved the admiration of the
world, aud that sentiment Of devotion 10 il which
Il was always, on such occasions, your sndeavor TO
inspire.
You will Judge our surprise at seeing that you
nave been accused Of sentiment the very reverse
OF this, and moreover, that you are charged with
attempts TO inuse the same mschievous sentiment
into the minds ofourseIves and those who were oDr
iellow-siudenIs. We beg, therefore, 10 be allowed
70 bear our testimony against this charge. In do
ing so, wo declare, unhesitatingly, that you have
uniformly taught US 10 consider the Federal Con.
s!tuuon, interpreted and considered in its true Eede.
ratve character and spirit, as The very best form Of
Government IN the world; tina. you have laugh, US
10 cherish II as such, and 10 quad il against all
violation or abuse. From you, too, we have learn
ed TO believe that all attempts to increase the DOW.
ers OF the General Government, and 10 add 10 lie
intensity OF action, would have the effect of loosen
lng us hod on the affections Of the People. and
tnaI, instead Of securing rs perpetuy, such things
would hasten its dissolution. In this view. and
from the very love OF union, you taught us 10 rsss,
all attempts to draw the bond Of union SO tjpht os
70 endanger lIs disruption. That this might be the
ehsct OF such attempt we were made 10 see. bv
reason that their success would result in the arb.
trary and unsuitable tyranny Of an irresponsible
majority not restrained by those sympaihies which
generally psTrads small communities from abuses NJ
power, IN comparison with which, tho evils OF die.
union would look like blessings. That disun.on Is
better than greit central power, presiJing with
uncontrolled sway over a great consolidated empire,
we certainly did learn from you. But il is equally
true that you taught Us to consider the Union
established by The Constitution rs the greatest DO
H'e1i tlssSing ever eHj ysd by any People.
We arc AZ loss TO understand how any can
have 50 mlsapprehended you as 10 render necessary
this account Of your sentiments, os inculcated or
our minds. Il seems that it may be 20, and hence
wo tender his testimony along with our grateful
Acknowledgements and the assurance Of our IN
changeable esteem, admiration and confidence.

Tour obedient servants,
