The CONTEMPORARIES EMBLEM OF
WHiGGERY.-Mr Fisher, in the course Of
his eloquent remarks, at the west end Of
the Fifth street Market House, on Mon
day evening, in aIusion to the live coon
which presided at the other end Of the
market, said that he fully concurred
with the wings IN the propriety Of select
ing that filthy, cowarGly, thieying ami
NAL, as the emblematic Representation OF
their principles. 1t is particularly APP
propriate now, when the wings are freed
beyond redemption in almost every State
Of the Union. They have been driven
from nook to corner, from every hole
where they were won't to hide themselves,
and now the democracy have got them
safe up tree; and they may as we'll
come down and die peaceably, ASIDE shot
at and killed. Mr. Fisher remarked that
there were other resemblances. The

ROMANCE IN REAL L1FE.-The Paris
Globe furnishes the following Neapolitan
romance: The Countess Mufinli was
left rich aud beautiful widow, at the
age Of twenty two. lnnumerable suit
ers came, but Duke de Hermello was the
only one whose signs were reciprocated.
Their union was agreed upon, una de-
terred till the tenn OF widowhood had ex-
pired. One day, at fete, the young
countess took the fancy Of consulting q
fortune-teller, who was there for the en-
tertainmcn, Of The guests. He, as usual,
examined the lines Of her hand, and,
with troubled countenance, aud tremu
lous voice, said, '.Lady, you are at the
gate OF the templn of happiness, but you
will never pass over its threshold and
will die in despair The lady was deep
" affected by this prediction. and all the
affectionate soothings Of her lover were
scarcely adequate to restore her mind to
tranquility. Time and passion, however,
had obliterated the impression; when the
Duke de Hermello wen. on visit to
Rome and the Countess retired to con.
vent anxiously waiting his return. DAYS,
weeks, and months elapsed without the
re-appearance Of her betrothed. At las.
came from him the following cruel cpis-
Ties Madame! we deceiyedourselve in

friends This was the stroke Of fate,
for on finishing the letter she sank to the
ground, aud was taken up Iileless
corpse. On the sans evening her faith
er left Naples for Rome, and FIVE days
after the Duke de Hsrmello received
three poinard wounds as he was getting
into his carriage, and expired on the spot.
The ministers Of justice in both countries
are engaged in investigating these tragi-
cal events. which have occasloned the
deepest emotion in many noble families.
