TIE BEAUTY OF AMERICAN WoMEN.-
Mr.. Mackay, an English barris,er, has
published his travels in the United States.
The following is an extract in relation TO
the beauty Of American women:
"There are two poinls in which il is
seldom equaIled, never eycelIed-he elias.
sic chasteness and delicacy Of the features,
and the smaIness and exquisite symmetry
Of the extremi'es. In the latter respect,
particularly, the American ladies are sim
gularly Fortunate. have seldom seen one,
delicately brought up, who had not fine
hand. The feet are so generally very
small aud exQuis,ely moulded, particular
ly those Of Maryland girl; who well
aware of their a,lractiveuess. has lhous-
and little coquetlish ways Of her own Of
templinsly exhibiting them. That in which
the American women are most deficient is
rouudness ofdsure. Butt is a mistake TO
suppose that well rounded (nrms are not to
be found in America. Whilst this is the
characteristic of English beauty, it is not
so prominent feature in America. In
New England. in the MOUNTAINOUS districts
of Pennsylvania aud Maryland, and in the
central valley Of Virginia, the female fsm
is generally speaking, as well rounded and
developed as it is here; willis, New Eng
land complexion is, in nine cases out of
ten, match for an English one. This,
however, cannot be said of lhe American
ladies as class. They are, in the ma
jorty OF cases, over delicate and aneuid;
defect chiefly superinduccd by their
want "fexercise. An English girl will go
through as much exercise in forenoon,
without dreaming Of fatigue, as an Amer-
can will in day, and be overcome by the
exerlion. 1t is also true, that American
is more evanesceut than English beauty,
particularly in the South. where it seems

more lasting in the North aud northeast;

OBITUARY..

Death in search of his prey could not have
seized upon one whose dissolution would
have been productive Of more universal sor.
row and regret than did the death of FRAN

lrct on the 18th inst, at the residence OF
her aunt, Mrs. Matilda Addison, i'll The 18th
year Of her age.
The deceased met with the misfortune TO

aunt, and truly was she an aficcliona,o and
obedient niece. She has left behind her 10

heavy one-if the remarks Of dying subject
are at all relyable-eqdally great must be
her gain by the exchange. She was but in
the bud of life when overtaken by death, still
she had been a member OF the Baptist Church
some years; and notwithstanding she wasiof
a lively and an agreeable turn and tempera.
ment she was always disinclined to 60 beyond
what she regarded the duty of D christian
and professed member Of Chrst's Church.
She spoke frequently Of death and its con-
sequences during her short but severe and
punful illness, with will Of perfect resigna-
ton and an assurance Of future happiness
But few hours before her passage through
the dark valley, though lighted up to her by
faith in Christ, she expressed considerable
surprise al friend present for presumlng to
doubt her willingness TO leave this earthly

her upon this subject. Poor Fanny, (as we

THE MISSISSIPPI.

The New Orleans Della, of the 10Th
, inst, says: I'VE yesterday took a ride
along the river as far as Carrolton, and
found the I.evee in pretty much the same
condition it was ten days or fortnight
since. In fact, !or that distance there does
not appear 10 have been imminent danger

weak The bature extends SO far onl as to
break the force of the current, and still the
waller before it reaches the embankmenl.
Above Carrollon, as far as MIR. Hoey's
premises. the part where the greatest dau-
ger was apprehended. is now deemed Sc
cure, since the construction OF the back
lcvee. In :he stage of the water there has
been no material change since The river
reached 'its maximum height. 1t varies
with the wind-one ,day falling few in

) On Wednesday, ir consequence of The
luling of The soulherly winds, which had
prevailed, it fell but very few inches
but fresh breeze sprnging up from tho
same direction yesterday, i, again resumed
It's height. Few. fear an overflow of scri-
Gus character; but when The river begins
to fall a land slide may occur. 1t is 10 be
hoped, however, The belief that the Only
danger exists between Cafrolton aud flo-
ey's may be verified. aud The precautions
which have been used. prevent such dis
aster."
The Vieksburs Sentinel OF The 18th inst.
says:
"The river was on a stand or rising
very slowly yesterday. Boats from above
report the Mississippi rising very rapidly

rapidly. l, is the opinion of many that the
water will be still higher than j, has been,
and that 10 cotton will be made on the
river plantations"
The Memphis Enquirer oflhe l0'hsays :
1--WE learn that all the rivers above are
on the rise; The Missouri particularly. The
Mississippi is rising very rapidly here. We
learn from below tha, strong npprehensions
were entertained Of most disastrous over
flow. Breakers bad occurred in the levee
at different points. and some paris Of the
country were already submerged. This
new rise going down upon the other before
it has had time TO run off, we fear will
prove awfully destructive"

Canadian Politics.

The tone of Canadian politics has sensibly
moderated. The excitement oil angry opposition
which led TO acts of riot and disorder, when Lord
Elgin disappointed the hopes and inf1amed the
resentment of the Tories by approving the hated In
demnity Bill has abated very much; at least the ex-
pressions of hostile purpose have lost all their
defnitensss and much of their iierceness. During
the tendency of an odous measure. the language
of opposition is unguarded. Men make, for the
sake of Intimidation, definite threats of resortlng
to measures of resentment for redress, just such
az thew believe most dstasteful to the majority
But when the act they have resisted has been ac-
complished, and they are called to act coolly on
their professions in full view of the consequences,
the time for deberation has come, and the most ex-
cited are rarely ready to carry out literally half of
what thew threatened The disloyal and revo-
lutionary language with which the Tory opposition
in Canada resisted the passage Of the Indemnity
Bill, not more really the echo of their thoughts
in hostility to the British connection, than the
riongs which followed its passage, in which the
Governor was peted and the Government House
burned, We're a real attempt at civil war. Both
were incidents of hot party struggle-the tenn
porary outbreaks of a domestic conflict OF pre-
JUDGES and passions-whch are by no means to be
TAKEN as indicative OF prenleuidieu purposes , ho
limited threat of annexation to the United States,
which was occasionally employed by the Tory OPP
position is too plainly bald attempt at intimida-
ton. 1t proceeded from the most virulent haters of
the government here the very men who have made
themselves conspicuous for the extreme rancor of
their anti-republicanism. The Liberals, who were
the friends of the bill, contain within themselves
all Of the Canadian population who have any
friendly feelings towards our political institutions.
The full conviction that this Tory talk was affected,
doubtless had its effect in making the Liberals more
ressute in carrying through their measures. They
had no fear OF any Tory combination, in earnest,
TO escape from liberal government in Canada,
by seeking a connexion with the United States.
Nor do they believe the Government at home
sufficiently weak to be driven by such device, to
restore the Tories to power in Canada-the object,
alter all, of their struggle.
We do not believe that anything arising directly
out of these disturbances, will bring about annexa-
tlon, or proposal for annexation. Still they will
have their influence in preparing the way for such
consummation hereafter-in setting the public
mind TO work on the subject, actively and mces-
sanity; in prompting inquiries and suggesting CON-
Hrlsone, and investigating principles and interests,
wh!eh will hasten and mature public will In Can
