A NEW MoDE OF SETTLING HosTrlI-
TIEs.-One Of the most novel notions we
have encountered Cor some time, is con.
tanned in late London paper, in giving
very fair hit at the war spirit which is con-
sdered to prevail in this country The
writer takes it for granted ,ha; the ques-
tons now in dispute between England and
America cannot tie settled definitely, until
each country has spent much treasure, and
poured forth large quantity Of blood. 1t
is therefore suggested that mutual under
standing take place with the two govern
ments. and the expense Of fitting on, hos
tile forces be prevented, and the war car
ried on after the following fashion, viz
'.For the English Government to under
take to level Liverpool with the ground on
condition ,ha, the u, S. Government, de-
stroy New York!-for England TO bombnrd
Bristol. and America 20 burn BALTIMORE
and SO with all the cities on the senboard,
Until sufficient mutual injury has been e!-
fected, after which the two governments
could settle the matters in dispute by ne
gotiation and treatyw d r
And this after all seems very reasona-

Some men have singular modes of show
ing their love and attachment TO their wives,
but 1t seems 10 US that one of the clearest
exhibitions of Oddly in This respect recent
" manifested itself in Genoa. one of the
southern towns OF this country. As the
matter comes tc US, upon the most unaues
tlonabIo authority, it is as follows
On the evening OF "Wednesday the 5ii
ms, a Mr.. Lorenzs Patrick, who, by the
way; has always been considered a very
good, kind sort Of a man, and who was new
er known as she declares 10 say cross

thIng-aiier having assisted her in getting
their TWO children asleep, went into the
wood house, as was his wont, to bring in an
armful or two of wood.
While out, however, he called to his wife
to come into the woodhouse, as hen had
got into the well, and he wished her assist
ance in getting tout. After making some lit
lie effort, by lowering the bucket, in the
hope that the fowl would thus be induced
10 cling to the rope or bucket, he called to
her to see what she could do. She accor-
ding y took hold Off the rope, he at the time
standing by the windlass-and while she
was leaning over the curb, he, without III
tering ii word, caught her by the feet and
plunged her over head first into The we'll
which is not far from % feet deep, the wa
ter coming up within some feet ofihe plat.
form. When she went into the water she
did not let 60 of the rope, but went down
the length of it, and then caine M the rope
and got out of the water with her feet upon
the stone, and screamed for help.
The monster then got hight 1.-THE one
which they had, having been pu, out when
she went mo the Wen, aud next took a
board and undertook 10 Jam her down into
The water. Sue sad, ..Lorenzo, for Gods
sake don't murder mel" and he replied 81
won't" He then got over INTO the curb and
let himself down SO as 10 put his feet Oh
her legs aud tried to push her feet from the
stone on which they were placed. Now
size clenched fast hold OF MS plntA!oons, and
by his heip raised herself so that she got

out OF the well, and taking his knife, cut oil

good Characters.
Patrick Was arrested but made his escape
on Sunday night following, and is yet a,

It appears to be one of the most deliberate
cold-blooded transactions of which we have
ever heard. For some weeks before, he had
been very busy in collecting debts. but has
scarcely been known TO pay farthing on

the foul deed attempted has been long pre-
