HENRY II. CANNON, ESQ, formerly

his age, leaving an only sister and many
relatives and friends to deplore his early
departure from the stage of life and use

ance, "a fame not soon to be forgotten by
The people of Delaware. As editor of
the Delaware Republican, and previously
as editor OF paper in Sussex county, he
was idolized by his friends and respected
by his opponents. As an opponent, he

the hope of regaining his health, and has
since been merchandising near the Brick

FROM HAYTI.

A letter from Hayt, dated 29lh April,
published in the Journal of Commerce,
has the following commercial intelli-
gence:
Business goes on very slowly. We
have not much coffee coming in. Not
withstanding provisions are scarce in our
market, and can obtain good prices
Flour and Goldfish are well sold for cash.
We have here no behring's, no lard, no
chcesc-all these articles are sold at high
prices. don't know whether they will
keep up long; ! think that the arrival Of
one or two American vessels will bring
them down.
The new Government seems we'll dis
posed to favor the Hay items who are car
rying on trade. They are speaking of
lavoring our flag, and of diminishing the
duties on provisions, and on our own pro-
duce"

Comets.

Thus discourses the Baltimore Clipper
on the subject of Comets, &c:
All globes are magpetlsed bodies, and
all the effect which comet conld pro-
duce by an approach to our earth would
be, to add to or subtract from the earth SO
much electricity as would establish the e.
quilibrium between the two bodies-when
they would repel each other. Hence all
fears of being destroyed by cont act with
comets are groundless and foolish. They
may produce an unhealthy condition of
the atmosphere by Withdrawing from it
portion of the electrict huid-and we
suspect that examination will prove this
to have been the case The subject is at
least worthy of investigation; for, if our
suggestion be sustained, then the remedy
for atmospheric diseases, such as the cho-
lera, will be more readily ascer,alned, and
the sacrifice of human life be diminish

A Tragic Scene.-Amonsst the many
heart-renhering details that have been
given in the foreign journals Of the sad ef-
fects of the earthquake at Guadalupe,
We find the following in letter published
in the Paris Constitutional. After de.
scribing many disastrous occurrences,
the writer says:
Suddenly behed the lilelcss body Of
a man in the prime o(Iite, and near him
a beautiful young woman. She appear
ed absorbed in grief; one could almost im-
agine her a marble figure weeping over
tomb. In her cheeks was still discern
ibie the faint blush of a rose and smile
was on her lips-and yet she was dead!
A young girl, to escape from certain
death, rushed out from her fathers house,
but, at the moment when she considered
herself safe, house fell near her, and
part of the ruins held her firmly to the
spot by the lower extremities. She CAL
led loudly for help, the more so as the
flames appeared advancing with a g-
ants pace. A soldier endeavor ed to ex-
tricate her, but in vain. She then be-
sought him to cut off her two legs, in
order to save her from the fire which had
already reached her. The soldier yield
ing to her entreates drew his sword and
prepared to cut the legs, when, his heart.
failing him, he fled. The young girl was
soon consumed

A SAD AND AFFECTING INCL
DENT.

The New York Tribune relates the
following, which gives touching instance
Of the result of depravily and crime: "On
our way from Philadelphia to this city
on Friday last, upon our return from Bal
timore, our attention was arrested by the
appearance of a fellow passenger, who
CHANGED to sit near us III the cars. lie
was apparently not over 30, dressed in
coarse and seedy garments, and evident
ly in the last stage of consumption. u
pom his face was stamped the seal of death
more clearly and terribly than we have e.
yer seen it upon another living counten-
ance. He was wasted to skeleton, and
the livid paleness of a corpse had driven
from his face every hue of health and life.
His eyes were restless, and glared with
dull but eager stare upon what was pass
ing around him. We did not hear him
speak till we had reached Jersey city and
then upon the ferry-boat, we observed
him talking to number of gentlemen,
who. were standing around him. He
spoke feebly, but with great earnestness
and excitement, He said he had just
been released from the Penitentiary in
Pennsylvania, where he had been long
time confined. He had never before con-
tessed his shame, but now, he said, he
could not help it. He had been great
villain in his life; but said he, as his {, rs
swan in tears, and his thin, blue lips quiv-
cred with emotion. that's all past and
have got to die in day or two. His
mother, he said, lived at No.-Greenwich
street; he had not seen her for many
years, and the only favor he asked oil
God or man was, that he might reach her
home and die in her arms. He seemed
in. a perfect agony Of apprehension lest
the police officers Of the city should see
him as he landed, and detan him till ii
should be too late to see his mother
They all knew him, he said to be great
rogue, and if somebody did not aid him,
he knco he should die in the City Prison
instead of his mothers house. lie seem
ed greatly relieved and truly thankful
when several gentlemen offered to send
him at once to her residence. We know
not what became of him, but think i,
scarcely possible that he should be living
now. But who can picture either the JOY
or the agony of that last meeting between
the widowed mother and her wretched
son, coming from the dungeon to her arms
only to be laid somewhat more gently in
the grave? The excitement of the hope
of meeting her seemed to be all that kept
him alive; and it appeared scarcely pos
sible that his feeble frame could survive
the excitement of the meeting ITSELF"
