GREAT PRESENCE OF MIND.

WHAT valuable faculty it is to have
presence of mind under critical circumstan.
ces. The following interesting instance
from the N, Y Herald, is one among ma.
ny in which it has preserved human being
from cruel death. Dr-,the physi-
clan in charge of the Lunatic Asylum on
Blackwell's Island, has been in the habit Of
amusing him daily in fishing for bass and
porgies in the Hurlgate' his crew being gen.
orally imposed Of inmates Of the Asylum
who were SO far recovered as to be allowed
The recreation Of such trips. A few days
since he took with him "Admiral Bill" an
old seamen, who has been confined their
many years, and from the peculiar feature
Of his insanity, has been generally styled
.'Admiral," unlilhe now answers to no otis
er appellation. Bill had the stroke oar, and
being Of stalwart frame, he urged the boat
along, making the crew work with will.
The doctor, who is of rather diminutive
stature, was seated quietly in the ste IN
sheets; with the liller ropes in his hand
watching with much delight the motions Of
Admiral BilI-when suddenly heobserved

Holding him out over the side, Bill deman'

The men had rested on their oars watching
the issue, and the current was carrying the

presence Of mind in az instant, the doclol
fixed his eyes upon The maniac, and saw tht
necessity for immediate action. "Bill

in the sheets, took up the oar, and in fev

dent has three sons, all spoken If as men
possessing knowledge Of the world, aud fair
talents. John, II is said, has all his fathers
knowledge Of the world and gentlemanly
manner and address, with great deal more
wit and humor. He married the daughter
Of distinguished judge in Albany, whose
talents and accomplishments are not SUR
passed by those Of any other lady in the
country. She is in declining health, and,
with her husband, is about to visit the West
India Islands, with view to its restoration.
Abraham, the eldest son, is an amiable man,
but has not half the talent of John. He
married the daughter Of wealthy planter
of South Carolina, and thus inherits for>
tune of probably $l50,0OO. Smith Van
Buren, is probably the closest thinker and
ablest writer Of the three, but he is not so
much man Of the world as John. He is
united to highly respectable lady Of Alba
ny, who will also bring him large fortune.
In the way of fortune, they all seem to be-
pretty well provided for.
OCCUPATION We believe no one can
be healthy and happy without occupation,
some regular employment or profession.
The life Of an idler is always restless and
unsatisfactory one, and .killing time tho
most laborious Of all work. Every ono
who prefers cheerful and commended mind
/ to the horror Of mental ennui, should employ
his talents in some reputable calling.

REVLNUE OF GREAT BRITAIN.

From The revenue accounts made up last
month we find that The net increase upon
the year ending at that time was upwards Il
four mil ions sterling. The English papers
show that this increase is from income and
not from capital. &
The working oflhe income tax-in Ro
bert Peel's fayorite measure--seems to
tickle certain Tories wonderfully. Before
it's adoption the failure Of the revenue TO
meet the expenditures Of the government
md the absolute impossibilty Of creating
any sinking fund to lessen the debt was
like thorn in their eide The adoption Of
a measure which struck Fl portion Of the
interest at the outset, and increased SO sud>
denly the revenue Of the kingdom, was a
God send hailed .wi,hlno ordinary pleasure
Ii may apparently work well, but the
strength and increased action England feels
from il, seems to us like that which results
from sudden simulant. We never knew
a government to sustain itself long on such
a measure. This exhaustion Of ex'raordi-
nary measures in times Of peace leaves no
resource for the greater emergencies Of war.
The most curious thing, however, in the
revenue accouts IL, that there has been an
increase in the exercise the last quarter,
Notwithstanding the temperance movement
We cannot account for the fact that the ex !.
else returns should give an increase tho last
quarter Of fl40.000, making at that rate
nearly fl,OOO,000 year. Father Math-
ew, we supposed, would reduce this matters

English politicians themselves.
