n DAGGER CoNsTTUTIoN.-Accord-
ing to Lord Cloncurry, there were (wheth-
er there be now or not) those who looked
upon the revenge of the dagger as 8
charter right of the Constitution. He
says in his recently published "Recollec-
tions:"
"There were among the Russian resi-
dents two remarkable characters; one
was Orloff, the favorite of the Empress
Catharine, whom frequently met at Ma
pies, and the other the Prince Potemkin,
son of the more celebrated owner of that
name. The introduction of the Musco-
vite element made a strange mixture in
our society; where, as sometimes happen
ed, discussions arose that brought the
habitual, steady, English love of freedom
in conflict Of argument, with the fierce
barbarian vigor of the Russian; and that,
too, in presence of the polished feeble
ness eff some noble subject of the church.
al shall never forget one Of these oc
casions, when, the comparative merits of
democracy and despotism being under
debate, the risk of mischief Mt the hands
of a senseless and ill-conditioned tyrant
was urged as more than counterpoise
for the good that could be done by be-
nevolent and wise autocrat. Against
that risk, exclaimed Count Pahlen, who
was present, I'VE have safeguard
Here is the Constitution of Russia and,
starting up, he closed the argument by
drawing a dagger from his pocket, and
flinging it upon the table with an earnest
ness and energy that left no doubt of his
personal Willingness to put that sharp
constitutional remedy in operation, should
a wrong requiring it arise within its cog
nisance."

REMARKABLE ROCK.

One Of the most remarkable rocks of
which we have any knowledge, has lately
been discoveredi in the middle of the in
land sea, Lake Superior BY gentle
man who has lately returned from Cop
per Harbor, we learn that shaft of trap
rock has very lately been discovered, RI
sing in the lake from 15O to 200 miles
from land, and ascending above the sur
face of the water a distance of not above
four feet. What renders it more extraor
dinary is, that it stands alone, and all
around it, so far as examinations have
been made, no bottom has been reached
by any of the lead lines used on the lake:
and the point of the rock itself does net
exceed an area of more than six or seven
feet square, and as far as observation of It
has extended, it does not appear to en-
large III size as it desccnds. II has al.
ready, he states, become q source of
alarm to the mariners who navigate the
lake, who take special care in passing, TO
give it as wide berth as possible. It is
too small--too remote and dangerous to
admit Of light, and therefore its rezaoval

that henceforward all great naval ques-

THE SOUTHERN MOVEMENT IN NEW
YoRK.-Thc New York correspondent of
the Philadelphia Ledger says.
"rhe ominous outgivings of the Wash
ington letter-writers, respecting the con-
templated movement of the Southern
members of Congress, incoherent and i'm
probable as they may be, are not without
an effect here. Most people are looking
forward to a crisis, but none are yet bold
enough to look at disunion straight in the
face The rumor that seven of the slave
States have resolved to secede, in the
event Of the passage of the Proviso, has
been repeated so often, within the few
days past, and by men who arc in posi-
ton to know what they are talking about,
that the public mind is made uneasy and
excited. Who dares to calculate the
mighty revolution our trade and COM
merce would have to undergo, in the event
of such calamity? This is the first con-
sequence considered by men who deal in
cotton and corn-its political results are
left to the masses, less under the influence
Of dollars and cents.
The n. Y. Journal of Commerce does
not believe the predicted deficit in the
revenue, it says:
Less than FIVE months of the two
years during which this alarming defici
is to occnr have yet to elapsed, to that ii
the main, the announcement of defci
Of 5 or 90 millions in the two years, i,
little less than prediction by the enc
mics Of the present tariff. The same mel
predicted, when the same tariff passed il
to law, that the revenue would fall ia
below that of the tariff of ls43. The It
suit proved them false prophets then; w
trust it will do so now

HE rs DEAD.

Yes-the friend who was by our side
but yesterday-whose laugh was as loud
as our own, and whose spirits were as
light as the most active--is now dressed
in the habiliments of the tomb. His voice
will enliven no moreno more will his
presence cheer--no more will 10Y and
gladness spring up in the hearts of those
who were wont TO be relieved from the
benevolence of his heart. He is dead.
He has looked his last on field and flower
spoken the last kind word and given the
last kiss of affection. The flowers of
spring will bloom and wither upon his
grave--the birds will sing above his rest
ing place, and the merry voices of child
rem will float upon the air-but the sieep-
erwill not awake till the sound of the arch
angels trump shall call the dead to life.
May we learn useful lesson from the
sudden departure of one who SO recently
was engaged in the active scenes of life.
May we SO live, thas if called as suddenly
from the pursuits of time, we may be pre-
pared for that better world where the
weary are forever at rest.
