IN anguish, with which Mr.. Biddle in
Braddee's defence, electrified the crowded
auditory, had been unlaithlul to her
VOWS, and married another during Brad
Ideo's imprisonment. lie was not made
acquainted with the fact, and for the five
years he was in confinement, he was
fond of an opportunity Of talking about
"his wife and children lie spoke OF
them in terms Of warm affection; and I'M
doubtedIy his desire 10 recover his Iiber-
ty vas stimulated by an attachment to
them; even after he became aware that he
must soon die, he desired 10 beat liberty,
even t it we're to die in a barn, to the end,
that he might not die a prisoner. But so
soon as he learned the conduct o. his wife,
he instantly ceased to wish for freedom.
1t was the final blow TO the poor con-
Wet, the unexpected thrust, like that
which extorted the memorable ct tul
Brute, commanding surrender; and poor
fellow, he gave up at once. He never
alter mentioned wife or child, or desired
to move beyond the limits Of his cell.
The name of his wife was avoided with
an iron will, although for the previous
years Of his confinement, it had been
pleasant, and hopeful theme.

whether Braddee could read or write
In his last illness, it was satisfactorily
ascerlaned that he could do neither, al

Braddee died penitent, it is believed: :

The news by the late arrival, the Cam.
brIa, is decidedly pacific in its character
ne rupture of the negotiation between
the British minister at Washington, and
our Secretary of State, did not seem 10
engage near so much of Sir Robert PeeI's
earnest attention, as the exciting topics of
England S internal policy. He seemed to
regret, IN passing alusion 10 the circum
stance, that Mr.. Pakenham had not felt
himself authorized to accept the proposi-
tion made TO him by Mr.. Polk, 10 divide
the territory; or rather had moi felt him

would be preserved, and this question am

We give place to-day to the recent act
OF the Legislature, changing the labor in
the ;he peniterliary. 1t was received by
PlaudIts, acclamations and the thunders
OF cannon by the mechanics of our CITY,
And they now desire us to present to the ir
brethren throughout; the State, their
thanks and admiration for the high NOR
al stand they assumed in their behalf on
THIS queston,-a stand that falsifes the
assumption that men are essentially sell
llsh, and lnsensible to all that does not
Immediately concern them. But for the
warm interest that the mechanics mani
tested throughout the State, and in por
TONS where convict labor did not imme
dlately affect them, they are sensible that
the Legislature would not, at this time
have been aroused to an effectual and de-
clslye action. They congratulate their
brethren upon the achievement, S a proud
era IN the history of the State and its
mechanic lnterest--an interest interwo.
ven and identified with the true prospect
ty OF every coumry. To some of our
mechanics, who deeply and efectualIy in
terested themselves in this matter, and
with whom penitentary competition did
not come into immediate conflict, the class
owe much. Among these our friend
james Smith is conspicuous. We hone
the mechanics in this and neighborinp
