To THE EDITOR OF THE n. Y. HERALD
DEAR SIR -

No person can question the extraordinary fell
citousness Of the quotation wherewith one OF the
counsel for the defence concluded his appeal to the
Jury, in the recent case Of Amelia Norman and it
is with great dfidence that suggest that its APP
plicabllliy might, perhaps, have been little i'm
proved by trifiing alteration in the last verse.
To read thus
When lovely woman stoops to folly,
And finds too late that men betray,
What charm can sooth her melancholy
What art wash her guilt away
The only way her guilt to cover,
(Since our criminal laws wont nab him)
To give repentance to her lover,
And reach his bosom--is TO stab him.
Perhaps this alteration, too, may have some
effect in stimulating Legislators 10 action upon
the numerous petitions in regard to licentiousness,
which now cover their tables. Yours, b.

LIGHT HOUSES AND LIGHT HuMBuGs.-We have
received the official documents relative to the
light houses our coast. 1t appears that many of
the lights are recommended to be put out, and
others to be lighted. Our light houses are very
much like our post roads and mail arrangements;
there Is not oil enough in the lamps on our coast,
nor grease enough on the axe-trees of our mail
coaches. Hence our vessels go ashore, and the
mails don't arrive.

ANOTHER THEOLOGICAL CONTROVERSY .-The
NcD York Evamgelia Presbyterian,) and the
Christian Register (Unitaran,) are discussing the
doctrine Of the atonement. The Evangelist denies
that Christ suffered and died for the mere purpose
of setting an example, and uses the following extra
ordinary language in reference to the subject, in
problem addressed to the Unitarians -
Besides what is the example which the suferngs and
death OF Christ aordl 1t is the example Of innocent

To MAKE Coop COFFEE, ON THE FRENCH
! PLAN.--Flrst procure the best coffee in
the market; wash it very clean, and roast
it to the color Of a golden brown but not a
deeper shade by any means. Then take
the whites OF three eggs to each pound OF
coffee, mix very carefully with the coffee
while warm, and Immediately transfer
to earthern vessels, tying over with
bIadders, to render them air-tight. Take
from these vessels sufficient coffee for
one making only at a time, grind it,
place ltln fine muslin bag, suspend it
about midway in the pot, turn on the
boiling water, and put on the cover, To-
prevent the escape of steam. By this
mode the coffee will be very strong, but it
is best TO reduce it by the addition of
bolIlng-hot milk, when it will form a
most delicious beverage, very rdiffer rent
indeed from that which is produced by
boiling the ground coffee in water. And
TO be convinced of the fact, that by the
above method, which is simply infusion,
all the virtues OF the coffee may be ob-
tanned, it is only necessary to take the
dregs left in the bag, and boil them in
water for considerable time; the result
will be, a black, bitter, nauseous, lever.
