But the debate in the Senate to-day richer than
all this. II was decidedly rich and revelatory.

The Duke of Wellington should have died years
ago, and the world would have given him more Gre

him what he Is. Ii Is the unf1lnching soldiers,
chosen from the yeomanry of England, that made
him the hero of Wateroo-and he repays their
vices like all other ingrates, by starving the widows
and orphans OF those who bled to buy his lame

In England is now to be fought between the agricul-
tural interests, and the manufacturing and CONNER

these matters have been partially struck with the
verhcadon OF Mr. C.Edwards Testers prophecy, in
his Condition and Fate of England, published in
1872, which was then looked upon wild and CHI
merlca will extract passage from that work,

talent and perception, regarded the political con-

Sir Robert Peel sees. too, that the financial condition

The District attorneys Death-Ihe Small Por-
Public Aiarm-7ne Father Donelan's Chrlstian
Conduct Haccination-Dr. Lane of the House of
Representation Busy, &C., &c.
Our esteemed fellow citizen, James Hoban, Esq,
the District Attorney for this district died last night
after short sickness, at his residence. The official
report OF his disease, is that it was pleursy, while
there is countervailing that he died Of the
small pox, of which there had been several cases IN
his neghborhood, and OF which there are far
greater number OF cases still existing than could
under any circumstances desire.
The funeral oil Mr. Hoban takes place tomorrow;
and though his corpse would be almost universally
attended to the grave, were there fear Of his dis
ease, or alleged disease, yet such Is the alarm OF
our citizens OF the contaglon, that we apprehend
there will be but thin procession.
We here take occasion to note instance OF
Christian charity, that ought not to be suffered
pass uncommended. The Rev Mr.. Donelan, OF st
Matthew's Church, (Catholic) recently attended,
day after day, poor family in one Of the back
streets OF this city, where man died a lew days
ago OF the small pox in Its most horrid symptoms.
Father Donelan administered to this wretched man
while sick of this dreadful infection, attended him
when he died, and afterwards when the two sisters
OF the deceased were seized OF the disease,
with the physician, their only viser and friend. 1t
is conduct like this which proves in the crucble the
truth of the Christians professlon-in facing conta
gi0n ana ueatn, IN the nnlstIatiOnb OF dHectoh anu
religious consolation. All honor to Father Donelan,
say we. May he live thousand years. We like
such men. they are an honor to their calling, and
blessing to humanity.
Our Board OF Health have prepared ample means
for the vaccination of the poor the city hospital
and hundreds have awaited themselves OF the pre-
ventive. Dr. Lane, sergeant-atarms OF the House,
meantime wasindustriously employed to-day IN his
official room at the capitol in the vaccination OF the
members, and there were dozen waiting win
sleeve rolled up, when we accdently dropped IN Tor
moment this morning. The excitement about the
small pox is even greater than that upon the Oregon
question The board of health, however, assure Us
that the pestlIence is subsiding.
At about six O'Clock this evening, regular North
east snow storm commenced and is now prevailing,
AZ il TO insure OF general blockade OF the rail
roads from New England to North Carolina We
expect however, thai our advic-s oi this date will
