The fine packet ship Queen Of the West, Capt.
Woodhouse, arrived at New York on Tuesday
night from Liverpool, with advces to the 9th ult.

This packet experienced very severe weather
the passage lost foretopmast, eplit sails, &c.
There is very little news in the papers.
Cotton had remained without change, but firm.
On the 9th, previous to the sailing of the Queen
Of the West 1900 bales had been sold at the

RAvAGEs OF SMALL Pox-FATAL DECEPTION
We learn from the Memphis CTenn) Eagle that
the people of De Soto county, Mississippi, are
dreadfully afflicted with the Small Pox, with
which they have been innocmated by Steam
Doctor. An individual very improperly quissed
the latter by telling him that the only way to OBJ
tain Vaccine matter was to take the small por vi-
rus and mix it with new milk. The Steamer did
so, and with the most lamentable results. Seve-
raj persons have died of the disease. A travelling
preacher obtained some of the same material, and
innoculated twenty or thirty persons The result
has been dreadful in the extreme. The whole
country is in the most painful alarm and conster-
nation And all TO crafty some contemplate fell
lows desire to quiz!

Mr. Editor: Yesterday the Wings of Mercer

their just indignation at the proceedings Of the
late Loco Legislature, whosignalized themselves
by the most outrageous system of Gerrymand-
ering of counties, townships, and cities, ever
practised in New Jersey. The worst walls of
their wrath were visited on the Wings of Tren-

cut up into four wards, for the express purpose
Of giving the Locos the control of two certain,

The Globe has this strange tale: When
Bonapart died at ST. Helena, it was well
known that his heart was extracted with the
design of being preserved. The British
physician who had charge Of that wondrous
organ had deposited ii in "A silves basin, a.
mong water, and retired to rest, leaving two
tapcrs burning beside it in his chamber
While lying thus awake, he heard during the
silence of the night, first ruslIng noise,
then plunge among the water in the basin,
and then the sound of an object falling with
IA rebound on the noor-al occurring with
the quickness of thought. The DR.. sprang
from his bed, and the cause of the intrusion
was soon explained; it was an enormous rat
dragging the heart of Bonaparte to its hole.
A few moments more, and that which before
had been too vast in its ambition to be sa,is-
fled will, the sovereignty Of Continental Eu-
rope, would have been found even IN more
degrading position than the dust of Cesar
stopping beer barrett would have been
devoured as the supper Of a rat"

CHILDHOOD.

What can be a truer picture Of man in crea
ton, than the position of child in its own home!
How silently, yet how surely does the domestic
rule control him, dating his rising and his rest,
his going out and coming in, apportionng his du
ties, his mIr'h, ordering secretly the very cur
rent Of his thoughts, whether it sparkle with
gladness or overflow with tears. Yet how rarely
has he any painful scene Of the constraining
force which is every momen, on him. Hemmed
in on every side by power more vigiIant than
the most jealous despo,sm yet look at his open
brow, and say whether C ea,ure was more free
and why! Not because childish minds are
destitute of self-will--ihat would seduce them
10 'ransgression--but because where reverence
and love make melody in the heart, the temper
is charmed and sleeps.
Light, therefore, the weight of the circum.
ambient atmosphere upon the body is the pres.
ence of home duty upon the child easy by the
consistency and completeness with which it shuts
him in; insepcrabe from The vital elements Of
his being. His life is an exchange of obedience
for protection; he gives submission, and is shell
tered. Folded in the arms of an unspeakablc
affection, he is screened from the anxiety Of self
care, and yet he is left alone upon the iut1nile
plain Of existence. to choose path by the lus.
tire Of his own wisdom but i, is led gently on
by the unextingushed lamp OF a fathers eXpe.
renee, and the meek starlight Of mother
love. In strangeness and danger, how close he
keeps to the head that leads him: in doubt how
he looks up to interpret the eye that speaks lt
him: in loss and lowncss, with what cries he
sits down to lameN his freedom. He asks, bu
claims nothing: his momentary forwardnes
siilled, perhaps, by mere word and if not yet
his spontaneous return, after an interval, to hi
accustomed ways, confesses that in the order o
obedience is the ,rurst liberty.
