FoReERIEs AND DEATH. The New York
True Sun relates the following painful instance
of death consequent upon the commission Of
several forgeries.
On Tuesday night, 26th ult., Mr.. Edward
Cornwall, merchant, of Poughkeapsie, came to
this city to make purchases, was taken sudden
y sick on Thursday, died on Friday morning,
and his remains were taken home on the even
ing of that day. On Sunday his funeral was
attended by large number of citizens, and by
the members of the different Lodges of Odd
Fellows, Of one of which he was a member
Since his funeral circumstances of most pain
tui nature, in relation to forgeries committed
by him, have come to light. 1t is aseertained
that money has been obtained at our banks
and of individuals, on forged notes and other
papers. On several of the notes there are one
or two forged endorsers, and one real endorser
The bank therefore will not lose; but the real
endorser, who supposed himself safe when he
gave his name, because there were other sub
stantial endorsers before him, will be the suffer-
er. The forgeres are said to amount to $4,000
or $4,000. He had besides, borrowed several
hundred dollars of different persons, which,
probably, will be entirely lost to the lenders,
and some of the cases are hard ones Mr.
Cornwall was knswn to be in Strengthened cir
cumstances, but never suspected until these
sad Developments have been made. 1t is now
generally supposed that he committed suicide
by taking laudanum or some active poison.

.HesSrS. EdtorS:-In the article headed "The
Proper Spirit in your paper of yesterday,
find much to approve, as reform is no doubt
needed at this time in regard TO our expendi-
lures, both State and city. And | do hope,
that since you have taken up the subject in
such good earnest, that you will not forget to
urge the "curtaiment Of all unnecessary ex-
penses, in conducting our corporation affairs
The state tex is but % cents in the hundred
dollars, whilst the city tax is about three times
that amouRt. Therefore, we-Ghould exert our
selves, not only TO save the state something,
but the city also. Why it was that the Nav
or's salaryswas increased by the last Council,
and new offices created to drain from the trea-
snry large sums of money, and new and costly
warehouses erected for the accommodation
of oafers, cannot divine, unless the osage ia
thers' thought the "people at large" were not
oppressed by heavy taxes" and were in condi-
ton to ''feather the nests'' Of a certain num-
Der of "ths constituency If "charitv should
begin at home," why not rStorm? If we will
not use economy in our municipal affairs, with
what grace can we urge it upon the people of
the State Surely, with none at ali. Then
let the citizens of Baltimore demand of every
aspirant for the honor of seat in the CITY
Council, that lie twill vote for reduction Of
salaries and the adjustment of useless Offices"
and sunless he reply unequiyocally in the ai:-
firmatve, let his name be stricken from the
ticket" A large number Of the city offices
could, to say the least, be as well filled with a
much less salary attached, as they are at pre-
sent. Then let US all, "without respect to par
ty," move forward i'll the good work of ire
form," commencing at home, and push jealous
ly ON until our great aim is accomplished.

"good things" of the season, will be particular
in their directions to their agent, otherwise, in
nine cases out of ten, they may find their way
to our neghbors. We were little surprised
on Saturday in being called upon for an empty
basket, when, in very truth, we had seen Meth

crafty their sweet tooth out of other baskets
than ours; and will, at least, return it when
empty.

PERILoUs .4nother .4sceat q
the Natural Bridge. We presume most of our
readers have read the graphic account of the
ascent of the Natural Bridge in Virginia, many
years ago, by Col James II. Piper, then stu
dent in Washington College, and at present a
member of the State Senate of Virginia, but
as many persons have regarded the story as ia
bilious, deeming the achievement absolutely
impossible, it may be necessary to state that
the following account Of second feat of the
kind, is furnished the Lynchburg Virginian by
an eye witness, who gives the names of nine
gentlemen who also witnessed it.
Remarkable Feat On Saturday, the 26th Of
July, there being, besides myself, several
guests at the tavern of Mr. Luster, at the Ma
tural Bridge, we concluded TO walk up and
view that stupendous prodigy of nature, with
which thought made by human hands can vie''
and accordingly several Of US repaired Thu
ther, and after being lost in enchantment for
some considerable time in gazing up on the far
famed attractions, we returned to small house
on the road side, between the Bridge and the
tavern, where we were favored with an old pa
per containing an account of the ascension OF
the bridge by Mr.. Piper many years ago, from
the pen of DR.. Caruthers. While some of us,
entirely incredulous, were warmly discussing
its title to credblity, we were suddenly inter-
rupted by the cry, "Some one is climbing the
Bridge" With the avidity of men anxious to
maintain their opinion, until convinced of its
falsity by ocular demonstration, we immedi-
ately rushed, en- masse, to the top of the Bridge,
still nwardly doubling the possibility of what
the next moment met our astonished sight
the ascension of the Bridge! When we arriv-
ed there we found two gentlemen on the
Bridge, who pointed us to MIR. Shaver, the he
no of the occasion, standing at the distance OF
ITO feet from the ground, on bench, Gas it is
termed, } apparently too narrow to stand upon
even without motion. From the testimony OF
the gentlemen present we learned that MIR.
Shaver, passing by there in the morning, con-
cluded to attempt the ascension, merely q sup
pose) to crafty his own curiosity or that OF
others.
Without any preparation, he Immediately
commenced climbing directly under the well

Secs and Observation-Disclosures and sub-dv-
sions without limit--and those too, with the
most curious names and soubriquets. Imagine
to yourselves what must be the belief of Whis-
tie Dipper or Come-Outer, or Shorter, or
New Fangler-for "of such is the Kingdom of
Heaven in this place. Not only so, but one
poor fellow deacon, think-who could not
tind it in his heart to believe as any one else
ever believed before him, had set up "on his
own hook, ;" and deals damnation around with
liberal hand, fluent tongue, and loud voice,
to all within his reach, without favor or aflec-
ton, and almost without the hope of reward
except in the world to come--unless sundry
small contributions stuck into the ever present
plate can be considered a fair equivalent for the
exhaustion he undergoes really sytnpathized
with him, his eXertons were so great, and barring
little murder done to the Queens English,
his sermons might have passed as guiltteSS en-
tirely, for it did no other harm than fatigue his
hearers. What a strange diarrhGl of words
affiicts some men! How they can talk for hours
without originating an idea or attracting a mo-
ment's attention. 1t is wise provision in ma :
ture, though,
For as in bodies, so in souls we find.
What wants in spirit, often filed with wind.
Our deacon, however, { or rather our verbal
diarrhGa,) was blessed with a pair of stentori-
an lungs, aud had at least, the merit of keep
ing us awake, which, unfortunately, we could
not compass on the Sunday previous, when
we had TO succomk to the greatest opiate we
ever took. Our consolation was, that others
set us the example and began to snore in uni
son with the preachers perids, before we dared
to nod. What a rubbing of eyes and yawning
with some, what symptoms Of relief with 9TH
ers, took place as the word "Amen" fell from
the pastors mouth. Bless him! we shall not
''sleep' under his preaching again, shortly
Our religious fit has seized us so strongly that
we have exhausted the limits of our paper, and
must bid you farewell for the present, with all
the blessings of "Whstle-Dipper'-

A Quaker WEDDING. The Orchard street
meeting house, in New York, on Friday, was
the scene of a wedding which the Tribune thus
describes
To accommodate the parties and spare the
blushing bride the necessity of facing large
congregation, special meeting was in this in
stance appointed, which was attended only by
a small circle of relatives and acquaintance OF
the bride and bridegroom, few elderly Friends
and small number Of youth whose interest in
matrimonial scenes would not allow them to be
absent About o'clock, P. nj. the Senior por-
ton of the audience took their places one af-
ter another on the 'hgh seats while Juniors
were scattered in different parts of the house.
The fathers looked so grave that stranger
would be likely to suspect 5that they had as
sembled for funeral rather than wedding
Soon, however, the bride and bridegroom came
in with their friends and took seat facing the
assembly. The mother of the bride sat beside
her daughter, while the bridegroom was sup
ported by member of the matrimonial com
mittee. After a silence which lasted some 90
minutes, the aged Friend at the head of the
meeting arose and said: 81 would not inter-
fere improperly in the matter for which we have
come together, but / apprehend this to be a
suitable time for our friends to proceed" The
bridegroom and bride now drew their white
kids, and taking each other by the hand stood
up before the audience. The bridegroom then
said calm voice, but with evident emotion,
"ln the presence of the Lord and these wit
nesses take - to be my wife, promising
by Divine assistance to be unto her faithful
and affectionate husband until separated by
DEATH" The bride, in tones that bespoke the
deep affection of her heart, then made the
same declaration in respect to him on whom
she had bestowed her hand. The twain hav-
ing thus been made one, resumed their seats
The marriage covenant was then placed before
them, when they proceeded to ratify their
union by aflixing their signatures. The friends
ofthe newly married pair appended their names
to the document as witnesses, and thus ended
the Quaker Wedding
