BABE, THE PIRATE.-ATTEMPTA AT AssAssIHA-
TON AND SUIcrpE.-!The New York Herald of
Monday states, that on Saturday afternoon,
Tucker, the colored barber Of Centre street, near
Franklin, in that city, proceeded to the city
prison, to remove the beard of Babe, the pirate,
who is sentenced to be hung on the 7th Of next
month. He placed his lather box in one pocket,
and razor in another, and entered the cell of
Babe, as usual, to perform the necessary duty.
One Of the keepers closed the outer door to keep
all safe and retired to his post on the causeway,
in the centre of the corridor No sooner had
Tucker entered the cell, than Babe, who is
very athletic man, Sc zed him by the throat, and,
with an herculean effort, forced him against the
wall, and demanded his razor, saying that his
time had come, and he was determined to cut
his (Tucker's) throat, and then conclude the
tragic act by performing the same operation
upon himself" The barber refused to give up
the razor, and called loudly for help, which
brought the keeper to the cell, when Babe burst
into a loud laugh, and said it was joke. Tuck
err, the barber, thinks it no joke, but the keeper
does, and if such tricks permitted in the city
prison, we presume the Colt affair is set down
as joke also.

DEATH OF MR.. BIDDLE.

Nicholas Biddle died at his residence, Andalu-
STA, near Philadelphia, on Tuesday morning about
o'clock. We do not know what disease was
the immediate cause of his death, but believe, de-
preston of spirits had much agency in his decease
Few men have been more distinguished in this
country than Mr.. Bddle: no man ever exercised
greater power within his peculiar sphere, and no
one ever had better opportunity to know how
far power purchases respect and Difference, and
the loss of it changes the faces and manners of
men toward its former possessor.
r In the day of his strength, when he was the
dispenser Of tavors, and held the destinies Of
thousands daily in his hand, Mr.. Biddle was in
truth the money king, and like other kings, re-
ceived the homage and heard the adulation Of
those whom he held in his power. In the day
OF his adversely, these parasites took their re-
venge upon him for the servility they had
shown, by kicking and taunting the dead lion.
If his abilities were great, SO were his mistakes
and if rewarded beyond measure for the former,
he was pursued beyond the line of retributive
justice for the latter. He has gone! Let the
good he has done speak for him, and not the evil
attributed to him,

NEW JERSEY DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION
for the Nomination of seven Delegates to the
Baltimore Convention. this head the N.
Y. Standard (Cass paper details the proceedings
at Trenton ON the 22d. The organization of the
convention was decidedly Van Buren,, but when
the ballot came, it was seen that the complex
ion of the convention was thoroughly anti-Van
Buren,, and the Standard says
"Strong efforts were made in the committee
OF thirty-fuur to appoint both General Wall and
his son-in-law, Governor Vroom, both strong Van
Buren, men, as senatorial delegates, but, on the
first ballot, Col. Edsall, an interchangeable friend
to General Cass, was unanimously elected On
the second ballot, both Wall and Vroom were
again run, and both beaten by Mr.. Thompson.
On the ballot for an alternative, Gen. Wall was
again run, and was distanced both by Joseph C..
Potts and DR.. Craig. These two latter gentle
men are strong anti-Van Buren, men.
"Our readers will now see that our fears as
to the motives for calling this State Convention,
were not groundless. Such was the determine
ton Of the people that their rights should not be
usurped, that the delegates from the district
composed Of the counties of Morris, Somerset
and Middlesex, instructed their delegates to vote
TOR General Cass at Baltimore"

EXPENSE OF MEDICAL DEGREE IN PARis.-
Stewart computes the whole expenses incident
to obtaining degree from the Paris faculty at
eleven hundred francs, or about 1920. These,
too, are divided between the four years, so that
the annual payments are but very nconsderable.
The following are the respective items of ex-
penses:
Fifteen inscriptions Of so francs, $50
One (the last) ditto, 35
Remuneration to professors for attend
ance on five examinations, 30 francs
OIL each occasion, $50

EARTHQUAKE BEGGARs.-There are several
fellows going about town pretending that they are
Italians, driven from their homes by earthquakes,
&c. They have plenty of certificates for who
should lack for names, now that SO many persons
sign their own or other peoples as they think will
produce the best effect. If there are any of our
citizens who have not been sufficiently humbug-
ged already, we advise them to give to these beg
gars.--N Y. Jour. Com.
We had visit from one of these beggars the
other day, and, although, as usual he could not
speak English, we noticed that he understood it
very readily. He had the old stereotyped certf-
cate of respectable citizens Of the U. States"
captain Of the vessel" in which he came over,
and of "the U. s. Consul" &c, reams of which
may be purchased of " certificate makers" in New
York, at small advance on the cost Of the paper.
Look out for them, they generally give this city
passing visit.
