POWERS. TILE SCULPTOR

as a matter of intcrcst.-NorM Americdn.
The death OF Mr.. Carey grieves me more
than l can tell, or YOU would perhaps believe,
and what adds to my grief and makes the cir
cumstance still more sad to me, is, that the
bust OF "Proserpinc' upon which | had spent
so much pains and time, arrived too late TO be
seen by him. ! did my best to have it done
sooner, but the difficulty of procuring work
men TO execute TO a certain crtent, my works,
has all along perplexed me. Theie are plenty
OF them, but find but few of them capable
oil performing precisely what | wish them To
do. Besides had previously commenced a.
mother Tor Mr.. Carey, which | had laid aside.
mainly because it had no basket attached To
it.

COMPANIONS FOR ENGLISH NOBILITY.

An English newspaper says that Jackson,
the pugilist, who recently died at the age of
II, and who was the teacher of Byron. "and
u great many other men," was considered, Gin
language and demeanor, a fit companion for
many oi the English nobility" This reminds
us OF old Governor Strong, OF Massachusetts,,
who, when a neighbor said that he could read
the Governors handwriting as easily as he
could read print, replied that he considered it
no great compliment. According to English
testimony, many of the English mobility are
sharpers and cheats, both at the turf ard ga
ming-table; and for such we doubt not that
Jackson was a fit companion. The successor
oil Brummel TO the sceptre of London fashion,
Lord somebody or other, dressed by spunging
his tailors. Stultz employed him, as he did
Brummel, for a walking block. and furnished
him with garments gratis. Therefore he did
not cheat Stultz, who merely secured all the
apes ot fashion by thus bribing the lion. But
what besides the meanest, the most contempt
iblc, the most spunging and fraudulent spirit
could have induced the noble beneficiary TO
submit TO the degradation of such u contractl
A man with the least dignity of character
would have sooner worn the coarsest dress,
and paid for it by the sweat of his brow
With such a creature as this lord, this sprig
OF English nobility, such a scientific and fash
lonable ruffian as Jackson, who got his bread
and his reputation by battering the visage OF
a fellow creature, must have been "a ''fit com-
panion."
The Marquis Of Waterford, another and
celebrated specimen of English nobility
WHO was distinguished i'm New York for beins
locked up in the watch-house for attempting
TO twist oil the knockers and bell handles o
street doors, and, with a couple of Englisl
companions, was kicked out of a steamboat
by the captain for intruding upon the ladies
cabin, and had his skull fractured In Norwa,
Tor assaulting a Waterman, and was, in al
respects, a low-bred, proGigate debauchee
was also among the ''many OF the English no.
bility' for whom Jackson the pugilist was 1
eft companion" We wish that all the En-.
glish p~ugilists and horse jockeys in our coun.
try would go homie TO their ''it companions

a LONG STITCH.--Some time about the
lst OF July last, a lady of Springfield, Mass.
% years OF age, accidentally introduced a fine
sewing needle into her hand, which was bro
ken oil, leaving about half its length between
the numb and iore-linger, in a direction to-
wards the middle or palm of the left hand.
a physician was requested to extract il, but
as there was so little pain or inconvenience
arising from it, ne advised to let it remain
rather than cut among the tendons for it. In
a very few days all trouble and apprehension
Were over in regard to it; about the last of
September, she felt some pain in the right side
OF the abdomen and just above the hip, which
she conceived 10 be a spasm, and began rub
bing it with her hand, when directly the
needle came forth and was extracted. The
broken point was about rs of an inch in
length, and its fine polish had suffered but
little from corrosion. The course which the
needle took in making this circuitous journey
Is entirely unknown to her. The distance
it travelled in about three months could not
be much less than -four feet, its nearest course:
but for ought known might have wandered
twice that distance before it appeared at that
point from which it was eXtracted.-N. y.
