Thames. Ii was proved that The prisoner

seat in one OF The recesses of London bridge

times, apparently in great mental agony, pie

his boat at the time, under the bridge the
unfortunate lad. who was not more than III
teen years OF age, must have been drowned.
The prisoners, who was deeply aiiecaed, said
he sincerely regretted line offence OF which
he had been gully. and declared that nothing
should ever induce him 10 make an attempt
Of the kind again.
The sympathies of all present were strong
ly excited by the briet history OF the poor
boy. He had been for some time in the
employment OF respectable working jew
eler, who had a very high opinion of his in
tegriIy, steadiasness and talent, but his
mother was cursed with the love of The gin
bottle. She had, however never disgraced
him by calling at his employers house until
the day ON which he afterwards plunged
into the river, and then she made her appear
ance in state of inioxicaton, and with
very much disfgured face, al The place in
which he was performing his duty. He went
home at dinner time and found her in the
same dreadful condition. He could not eai

vice would not ouly increase, but that his
employer would suspect that he might be in

shown SO rad an example, and thrown him

master said he placed unbounded confidence
in the prisoner, and was convinced that he
was proof against the authority of bad ex

father of the prisoner confirmed the account
given by The employer. The mother, TOO,
was present. Her appearance bore ies,imo

shedding tears. The boy was handed over

interesting passage occurs in late letter
from Paris, published in the Boston Atlas:

from Paris, published in the Boston Atlas:
A strange and ghostly spectacle came ath-
wari our gay and busy streets, on the anni-
versary OF the death Of the emperor Napole-
on. The few remaining relics of that great
army, sound and whole enough to walk, as
sembIed beneath the columns of the Place

lnvalIds, to celebrate mass IN honor of his
name. cannot describe to you the effect
Of this assemblage of wilhered specifies, ai-
tired in the uniform of iheregiment TO which
they had belonged II seems as if each had
issued from the tomb, or risen from the bat
tie field, wherein they had once been left
roiling in The sun OF siitFening in The SNOW
The procession passed without exciting the
least enthusiasm, the crowd followed il in
silence aud in awe. The church was hung
with black and the places round the altar re-
served for The veterans of The Guard. OF whom
three and twenty yet remain. The celebra

GEN. TAYLoRs letter to the Hon. J. IREDELL,
which we published the other day, expressed
its warm approval OF the esprit of moderation
in political opinions" which, in his view,
characterizes the following resolution, be-
ing one of those adopted at the Raleigh
meeting, to which Gen. TAYLOR, alludes in
his letter:
Resolucd, unanimously, That we cordially
ratify this nomination, and the more rea Oily
because it was not accomplished by the schemes
combinat tons, and intrigues OF unprincipled
partisans; and we do hereby pledge Ourselves
to exert all honorable means for ensuring Gen
Taylor election by triumphant majority oil
the people. And though the Wing party are
more conidentlyapealed to for the accomplish
ment of this patriotic purpose, we desire to
see patriots and republicans of North Carolina
united in it, no matter by what party
names they have been designated heretofore
! We say this more cheeriully because we are
assured that Gen. Zachary Taylor, though q
true Wing, would be the President of the ma
ton, and not of mere party, endeavoring tC
act at all times independent of party domino
ton, and administering the Government indie
pendent of party schemes; that he would TAXI
the Constitution for his PLATFORM and, guided
by it, as il was acted upon by WASHINGTON
and our earlier Presidents, he would respect
and carry out, not seek to overawe and contro
the will of the People as legitimately express
ed through their representatives in Congress
upon domestic policy. If the republicans o
North Carolina have not lost the character o
their sires and abandoned the faith of rs, w
rely upon their cooperation. We confident
" believe tney have not degenerated, and there
fore pledge North Carolina to the defence @

A KEEN DrALrR-On the Fourth Of july

A KEEN DEALER.-On the Fourth OF July
last, among the large number of citizens
who went from this city 10 Jefferson Bar
ricks, by steam boat, on pleasure excur.
sion, were several retail clothing merchants,
who, whilst seeking enjoyment, also had an
eye TO ihelr own pecuniary welfare, and can
vassed energelically for their establishments.
One OF the number, very active, indeed, was
seen talking 10 number OF the volunteers.
who had just returned from Mexico, and
were abont being mustered out of the SER
vice and paid off. A soldier who paid more
attention TO The dealer Than the others. was
taken one side, aud the advantages, nav, the
necessity of purchasing cIolhing flon The.
very cheap and substantial store belonging
TO said dealer was sufficiently espaiiaied up
on. The soldier finally promised to come
up 10 the CITY the next day and look al his
goods, and the retailer left him, delighted al
his success.
True TO his promise the soldado arrived
IN the city next morning, and was met by his
friend, the clothier, in the street, and escor-
led by him in style TO his store. A fine suit
of clothes was selected, ned on, and found
TO iii admirably. All this lime The soldier
was somewhat perplexed, and could not I'M
derstand the meaning olsp many kind aiten-
tons. Whilst The proprelors in the store
were admiring the beauty Of the fiji. and the
improvement made in his appearance, he in
formed them that he could not pay for The
clothing that he was merely soldier in the
United States service. They assured him
that il did moi make the least difference in
the world he could pay i, after he was dis
charged; they were not in a hurry for the
money, if he would only br NJ some of his
friends with him to purchase of them. The
newly rugged out one finally departed, at the
same time promising faithfully To pay for tie
clothing when he got bis discharge. In The
afternoon ofihe same day, the worthy mer-
chants were thundersruck, on learning from
comrade Of the soldier, that The latter as
not volunteer, bat regular soldier, who
had enlisted three months previously, for five
years, and who consequently would be dis
charged in four years and nine munlhs!
