from Lyons. sWhat is her business?

The trembling girl, %perceiving Ma

CASE OF JOHN C.. CoLT.-Major
Noah, of the N. Y. Union, in speak
ing of the cast of Colt, says:
1T has been frequently our misfor-
tune, if we ought to givei it that term,
10 differ with able ~jurists, as to the
application of the term malice pre-
penSe to the crime OF murder. We
never could sanction the prevailing
doctrine OF inferring malice in cases
of sudden quarrel, where malice
could only be inferred by the fact,
that the murderer might have had
time to reflect before he struck the
fatal blow, Malice aforethought, we
believe TO be the cool, calm, preme.
dated determination 10 commit a
murder-the slng!eing out of a VIC
tim, and the ioregone conclusion and
determination 10 inflict the wrong.
..ln all cases Of murder, cool, de-
liberate murder, with malice prepense,
we must seek for a motiUe, tor with
out a motire there can be no williul
murder, though there may be man.
slaughter. Now, in examining close
ly all the testimony produced on the
trial of Colt, we are unable to dlScov-
err what motiue he could have had to
murder Adams. He owed Adams a
trininp debt for which Adams had
security in his hands, and Colt had
ample means to pay; besides killing a
man does not cancel a debt, and in
these days, when the. payment of
debt is so easily evaded: who would
stain his hands in blood to get rid of
his creditor? Besides, it was in evi.
dence that Adams went to Colt in a
state of excitement TO demand pay
ment of the debt, and ila quarrel &C.
Cured, blows were interchanged, and
death ensued, it is difficult TO infer
wilful and deliberate murder from the
position and all the circumstances OF
the case. Had Colt enticed Adams
to his lodgings, there picked a quar-
rel with him and killed him, dellber-
ate murder might have been Inferred;
but such did not appear in evidence.
If, therefore, the circumstances OF
the case could be considered by the
Court of Errors, instead OF mere points
of law, they would result in ordering
a new trial; as it is, however, we
have no reason to expect that as far
as the power of the Court extends
his fate can be ayerted."

NAPOLEON.

The following, is the concluding stanza o
a beautiful poem by Wallace, on the 'Child O
Destiny."-Gaz.
His race was run.-from out the deep
Where mortal form hath never trod-
He heard a voice which babe him sleep
1t was the m of a God.
His race was run.-but never more,
While planets line creations shore,
Shall men forget the sun which rose
With a fiery front and blazing robe
To rouse them from their long rePose,
And strew their corpses DER the GLOBE
For oh! if all the grief and bright
Which it has scattered down on man
Since first its pestilential flight
From beings's sable shore began
Upon one canvass broad and high
Could be by painters pencil hurrd'
That canvass hung into the sky
Would with its margin sweep the world.

to my journey. Ihad not been four.
and-twenty hours in Paris, when
found him in the coffee-room at
Meurice's, having exhausted Calais,
and determining to see a little more
of the world In two days Iset out
for Vienna with dispatches. My
first day was spent in the ambassa-
doris bureau, my second in rambling
through the curiosities Of that very
curious city. In the evening, hap
pening to step into coffee-bouse on
the Prater, I saw my Birmingham
friend calmly discussinghis coffee and
cigar. He told me that, having seen
Paris in twelve hours, he thought that
he might as well annex Vienna to his
route, and have it to say that he had
seen something which his townsmen
had not seen. In another week |
was on my way TO Greece, | found
him engaged in a boxing match with
a Greek among the pillars Of the
P%arthenon. The combat having ceas-
ed, much to the disadvantage of the
red.capped and rogueish countryman
of Achilles, the man of buttons told
me that he had been driven out of
Vienna on finding it crowded with
his townsmen, and hat he was about
to leave Greece for the same reason.
We then parted, as | presumed, for
the last time; but crossing Egypt on
my way to India, and turning off the
road to see the Pyramids. what should
! see at the foot of the Pyramid Of
Cheops but my travelling friend once
more! His story was still the same.
Sick of being hunted down by his
countrymen, he had thrown himself
into the first steamboat that passed
the Pirnus; it was bound for Alexan-
dria. When found him, he was in
extreme i'll temperate only habita-
ole nut in the neighborhood being hir-
ed a week before by a party Of his
indefa,igable townsmen, He was
then in doubt whether he should 90
to India or Abyssinia, determined to
have it 10 say that he had seen some
part CT the world by himself, yet al
most making up his mind TO the err
tainty of finding some hutton-making
friend, already anticipating him,
whether he pitched his tent on the
summit Of the Himalaya, or watered
his camel ut the sources of the Nile.

FIELDING II. CULP.

Nc age has been SO characterized
by a diffused intelligence as the age
in which we live. Its remaining ig-
norance and folly may be sufficiently
humiliating; but its amount of knowl-
edge and culture is unprecedented in
the history of the human family. If
we look TO past times, even to the
spaces which have been rendered
most conspicuous by the works of
genius and the progress Of civiliation,
we see, in general, the civilization Of
a class rather than of a people, and
the intelligence and dominance Of q
few, contrasted with the ignorance
and subsection of The many. Such
has ever been the state Of things in
the East. and such, in a degree little
unprecedented in modern times, was
the condition Of society even in
Greece and Rome. Throughout the
ancient world, authors were a class,
and their readers were a class, the
people at large possessing little SYM
pathy with either. Even the arts
We're arls,ocratic rather than popular.

spect to The wealth and power Of men

social state of the people subject to
that authority. The majority were
slaves, and 4 small minority only
could read. Need we say morei
