Mr. Mackay, an English barrister, has
published his travels in the United States.
The following is an extract in relation to
the beauty of American women:
d" There are two points in which it is
seldom equalled, never excelled-the
classic clasteness and delicacy Of the fea-
lures and the smallness and eXquisitive
symmetry of the extremities. In the lat
ter respect, particularly, the American
ladies are singularly fortunate. L have
seldom seen one, delcately brought up,
who had not a fine hand. The feet are
also generally very small and exquisitive-
ly moulded, particularly those of a Mary
land girl; who well aware of their attrac-
tiveness has thousand little coquettish
ways of her own OF temptlngly exhibiting
them. That IN which the American Wo-
men are most deficient is roundness of
figure. But it is a mistake to suppose
that well rounded forms are not to be
found in America Whilst this is the
characteristic of English beauty, 1t is not
so prominent feature in America. In
New England, in the mountainous dis
tricts of Pennsylvania and Maryland, and
the central valley of Virginia, the female
form is, generally speaking. as well
rounded and developed as it is here !;
whilst a New England complexion Is, in
nine cases out of ten, a match for an
English one. This, however, cannot be
said of American ladies as class. They
are, in the majority of'cases over delicate
and languid defect chiefly superlnduc-
ed by their want of exercise. An Eng
lish girl will 90 through as much exer-
else in forenoon, without dreaming of
fatigue, as an American will in day,
and be overcome by the eXertion. 1t is
also true, that American is more evanes-
cent than English beauty, particularly in
the South, where it seems to fade ere it
has we'll bloomed. But it is much more
lasting in the north and northeast a re-
mark which will apply to the wole re-
gion north of the Potomac, and east of
the Lakes: and [ have known instances
of Philadelphia beauty as lovely and en-
during as any that our own hardy climate
can produce

The Board can further state that the disease is
considerably modified, and decidedly more man

INVASION IN CANADA.--The Boston
Herald processes to have received disclo-
sures concerning a contemplated revolu-
ton in an invasion of the Canadas,
which has been fo: some time past agita-
ted, as we'll in the United States as III the
neighborlng provinces of the British
Kingdom. 1t says many OF the officers
Of the volunteers, who served III the Um-
ted States il Mexico, are diseiplinng and
armng large body of men for this pur-
pose They are employed by g commit
tee of Canada association The drill
lings or organizations of forces, 1T says,
are nightly going on III Boston. The fol-
lowing paragraph is curious, and the rea-
der may believe as much OF 1t and the
above statement as seems probable
That any number of American officers
are engaged in such scheme we do not
believe, and the whole is doubtless gross
eXaggeratlon:
GA large portion of the funds collected
during the repeal agitation in this coun-
try, which, owing 70 the failure OF the
Irish in their contemplated insurrectlon,
was never sent to Ireland, is now IN the
hands of the committee, and, together
with contributions which are freq uently
made by those who first projected the
movement, and those who have since
Joined it, constitute the means employed
in carrying out this plan of operations
The most prominent of the leaders of this
undertaking are number of Irish patrl-
OTIS, who have been obliged to flee their
country to escape the political persecu-
ton of the British Crown"

Power OF HABIr-In a very interest
ING work, " Household Education, by
Miss Martineau, is the following strange
illustration of habit:
An American infant was carried off
by the Indians and reared by an Indian
mother. as her own. Of course he grew
up in all the savage customs, especially
in their admiration in the scalps of the
enemy. BY and by, he was brought
back TO civilization, was educated and
became a clergyman. He acquitted
himself honorably and seemed happy in
his vocation. But some years after, he
was located near the seat of war between
England and the United States, and went
out on one occasion in his professional
black and white to witness a fight
When he returned, a gentleman noticed
his flush look and hurried manner, and
remarked to him that there was blood on
his shirt. The young man crossed his
hands firmly on his breast and his friend
supposing it was to conceal a wound,
pulled open the shirt. and saw between
it and the breast bloody scalp. Il
could not help it," cried the victim of
habit, and run instantly back to Indian
life, and never more appeared among the
whites

THE PATENT OFFICE ROBBERY.

We have already announced the arrest
of Jacob Shuster alias Tom Hand, at
Philadelphia, on the charge OF having
stolen the Government jewels from the
Patent Office:
The handwriting of Shuster was testi-
fed to by police officer Smith, OF New
Y ork, who produced several letters which
he had written, and, among others, one
to Recorder Morris, of New York. The
Judge, upon the evidence, committed the
accused, and gave an order for his remova.
to Washington City, to await his trial.
In the letter received by ex-President
Polk, in the same handwriting, and Of
fered to restore them providing he, the
President, would take the publication OF
certain advertisements from the New
York Police Gazette. Jim Webb, who
is also in prison at New York, on suspl-
cion of being party to the plumber OF
the Government jewels, hints to the U.
States District Attorney that he will dl-
vulge all information necessaryto recover
the lost treasure, on certain conditions,
which he will name one of which is, that
he will be set at liberty, and have GER
tain sum of money given him.
In addition to this, which we take from
the Baltimore Sun, we find the following
in the same paper The Suns Washing
ton correspondent. says:
Connected with the recent develop
ments by the Police Gazette in relation
to this matter, and the correspondence
stated to have taken place between the

AN A~NTI-sLAvERY HlNT.-La Rosa, the
Mexican Minister, has been writing a letter
giving his views Of the best overland route
to the gold region, and of the treatment ira
vellers may expect TO receive on their way
thilher through the Mexican territories. He
says,
"Iudeed, the emigrants, let them be of
what nation they may, will find in the laws
and authorities Of Mexico a complete gnaran-
tee for their lives, for their goods, and for
every thing that can, according to the LdCs Of
NericO, be considered property"
Shareholders will probably be careful not
to carry their slaves with them if they take
that rout, lest it should be found that the
laws of Mexico do not consider human beings
property.

Zachary l..

Next Sunday week is the 4th of March, and
were it not that this goddess nation is too Pi-
Gus to desecrate the day by a Presidential in
augural, Zachary Taylor would then COM
mence his rel On. But on Monday he will
be ordained President by title, but king in
authority, elected by a small minority of the
people, and ruling by The grace Of slavery
The legal voters who have been led by prin-
ciple to dislranchise themselves, the women
who are nonentilies in political matters, and
the negroes who are less than nothing accord
ing to the American standard, are, on that
day, 10 be transferred from one master to an
other, with or without their consent, like live
stock of the South.
A slaveholding President of the Demo
cratic United States! That will sound as
strange to future generations-common as
it is now-as satanic seraphs, pious devils,
angelic imps do to the present. And it will
seem stranger still to those of future days TO
read that holy men made it their religious duty
10 vote for this Louisiana planter and slave
dealer, and that some who said they loved
freedom, grew hoarse in shouting hallelujahs
TO his name. We thank fortune, or princi
pie rather, that he is lot our President, tina.
we did not play at pitch and toss TO see whose
candidate should have The distinguished hon.
or of being the sworn hound of slavery. Tc
such as did-the Wings, Democrats, and
Free Soilers-we wish them all the ploTy
that belongs to their " journeyman throat,cut
ter" and boss woman-whipper.
We rather think Zachary is the last Presi-
dent the slave-bound North and slave-claim-
ing South will ever elect. If disgust with
the Union and a desire 10 see it abolished
continues to spread in the same ratio the
coming, as ii has the past four years, by the
expiration of that time the Union and slave
ry will both be abolished and buried in a
common grave.
