RUNAWAY March FRUsTRArED.-We learn from
Capt Townley, Of the steamer America, that soon
after his boat left the wharf at Toronto the clerk in
formed him that certain lady on board, deemed re-

lHr honM PUNISHMENT or PARRicpr-Tbe As
sertion Is often made-and sometimes by people who
ought 10 Know better-that the Romans had no nun
ishment Tor parrcide, II having entered into
their thoughts that any could be guilty of so nv
ful a crime. The Romans were not such sci Of
spoones as this view Of the matter would make them
out TO be. They were horde Of precious rasoals
and were up TO any yilsny. There wa. no crime
which they were not capable of magning-nonc
which ihey did not commit in the course OF their
long, bloody, perfdious career. They knew that
parricide was Tar from being Of impossible occur
renee. So they provided punishment for IL and
one Of an extremely odd character. The ncrson
convicted Of pnrricide tied up in sack in vbicb

Various other authorities there are for IT, The 6r.,
parrricide in Rome, rs said to have been committed
after the conclusion Of the second Pinlc war, and
the hrst matricde much later. But there Is no rei-
ance TO be placed upon the statements Of the Romans
themselves on such matters In lying they exeellcd
all the nations OF antiquity and had any scrupos
about falsifyiDg history IN order 10 make their oon

ever had any right TO claim. They had all the vices

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.

We learn from passenger just from the West,
that on his way to this city, when approaching the
base of Laurel Hill Mountain, the attention OF the
passengers in the stage arrested by great noise
on the descent of the road and agitation of the
trees, as if some mammoth animal were forcing his
way down through the underwood with awful pre-
cipltalion The stage was stopped, and all hands
FASTENED to the spot where the effect had ceased, and
there discovered large transportation wagon, cap
sized and much broken with two of the horses
vet attached and the driver lying in much suffering
beneath the saddle horse, which seemed unable to
rise. The poor just able to speak, and
stated that there lady in the wagon whom he
heard groan a moment before, and directed them to
help her first. The wagon was accordingly examn-
ed and the unhappy woman discovered under guam
tty Of merchandise, barrel of satpetre lying upon
her breast her breastbone being apparently crushed
in, and she in a dying condition. On attempting to
remove the man, the horse by sudden struggle In an
attempt to RISE rolled him again and injured him
more than he had been before. Every attention was
given that the circumstances admitted, and provision
was made for the unforlunates before they left
The accident occurred in consequence of the giving
way of the brake while the horses were descending
at a trot, and the weight pressing them, drove
them into gallop, finally overturned the wagon,
which rolling the edge descended the precipi-
rise of the mountain, with the result as above
descrbed-BaL. Sun.

HON. DAVID UENSUAW

When this distinguished gentleman was invited by
the President TO take seat in his Cabinet the writer
OF this was on visit TO the orange groves Of the sun
ny south; that, however, did not prevent him from
hsing the appointment with peculiar sensations OF
delight We lave intimately known his admirable
fitness for any station TO which he might be called by
the President, or the people perfectly fami-
liar with his gigantic powers of mind, having some
years ago fought for months with bm for the attain
ments of the same great object. We kno,o all obo,tf
him-and feel that we have been sadly neglecful Of
our duty in not having, at a much earlier period
raised our shield OF appreciation to ward off the POI
soned arrows hurled at his bosom by the base beer
Of the Washington Globe. The assaults of that pa
per upon this wellknown, ong-,ried and un1inchlng
champion OF true Democracy, are as astonishing as
they are malignant and nexcusable. We are i'm
measurably happy TO perceive that these wanton and
unprovoked attacks are dsapproyed by nearly all the
respectable Democratic papers in the counry-parti-
cularly in New England, where Mr.. Henshaw is best
known and of course most highly esteemed
We are well aware that Mr.. Henshaw needs no
word Of commentator defence a, our hands in
ho;e portions OF the country where he is known and

MR.. RANTOUL.

We have seen a paragraph in the Bay State
Democrat which state. that the Navy Depart
ment had been rendered Mr.. Rantoul. OF Massa-
chusetts, and that it had been declined, because
Mr.. r.. would not accept ctiice from President
Tyler.
We are authorized TO say that the tender was
saying that Mr.. X. did not authorize or counte-
nance the publication of the rumor, for we are
quite sure that he is no opponent ofthe Admin

by Democrats from President Tyler.
