apparently cut off by the burning stable!
and buildings by which it was surrounded
the screams of child were heard pro
ceeding from the upper story Of the
house. The crowd seemed paralyzeo
with horror as the difficulties of approach
ing presented themselves, and the pit
eous shrieks of the child rang louder and
louder upon the ear The cries ofthe
child, thank God, were not heard in vain
they rang an alarum in the heart of the
yong sailor, and every generous emotion
was awakened. Springing forward, the
noble fellow dashed through the flames,
mounted the burning stair case, and in a
few moments the loud cheers of the ad-
hiring crowd proclaimed that child and
delverer were both safe. -BrookLyn Dai.

d. J. Child is filling the columns OF
( the Anti Slavery Standard with an at
tempt to Justify his anticipated vote for
Henry Clay. We give a specimen Of
his reasoning Says he:
Il do not know an abolitiOnist who
think would support man for the pres
idency merely because he is an abolition
list. Then is it not inconsistent to oppose
one merely because he is STAKEHOLDER !?
The reasoning is as superficial in the one
case as the other
A powerful argument suppose we
make use of it in another case. How
would this sound ?'I do not know a
merchant, who think would employ a
clerk merely cause be does not steal
Then is it not inconsistent to reject one
merely because he is thief? The rea-
son is as superficial in the one case as
the other
Or this: do not know of teacher
who think would employ an usher in
his school merely because he is a man Of
education. Then is it not inconsistent
to reject one merely because be is an
ignoramus p SC.
Mr. Child is certainly man of some
ability, and his unfortunate logic is to be
charged rather to the badness of his caus
than TO any intellectual deficiency in
himself - Christian Freeman.

The accouchTeut OF the Queen, which
took place on the S h instant, is sn event
for which our readers in the western
world s-iIl have been prepared. Her
Majesty has given birth to prince, whose
title, as The second male offspring, will be
of course, the Duke OF York albeit ru.
mours prevail that the little stranger, in
compliment TO the memory to her majes-
,y's father, is 10 rejoice in the soubrquel
uf the Duke OF Kent. For the rumour
there appears 10 be little foundation. Nor
is the matter worthy of notice, beyond the
interests which custom attaches to the
most trifing affairs of crowned heods.-
As proof of the excellence of the Roy
al Mothers constitution, it is stated that a
few hours before the accouc hment. aud
knowing it to be approaching, she singn-

own hand,so as not to interrupt the nee.

will have prolific family IS more than
probable, and although princes and prin-
cesses are very expensive luxuries, yet so
I attached is John Bull to the monarch;cal
principle, that he will willingly pay with
on: grumbIing for all that heaven may
send him. During the present reign, he
is likel y to have as many as he can de-
sire. When the Queens marriage took
place, Mr. O'Connell expressed a hope
that the young Sovereign might have as
many children as his grandmother--lwo
-anG-twenty; and present appearances iu-
dictate that such consummation is far
from being impossible.
Two reports, relative 10 the Post-office
espionage, were laid before Parliament
last week, and their contents have afford
