vored with the perusal of letter from Bath, Eng
land, dated the 2lst ultimo, which brings the mel
ancholy intelligence of the death OF Maurice Power,
the son Of the late and much admired Tyrone Power.
He died of cholera at Bath-it Is presumed though
not distinctly stated-on the 18th instant after an
illness Of only twelve hours. lie leaves a mother,

EDWARD H. C. GRIFFIN, the post-office clerk who
arrested in Rochester a charge of robbing
the mails in the Rochester post Office, has been dis
charged by Mr.. Fayrsr, the United States commits
soner. His examination occupied two days, and
close and rigid, and was brought to close at
10 O'Clock "Wednesday night. The commits
soner took till O'Clock yesterday afternoon to
render his decision in the case. He stated it had
been proved that Griffin had always sustained an
excellent character previous to his arrest, and that
it was not shown that he had bad associates Evil
dence ofthis character, the commissioner remarked
tended to rebut the evidence introduced by the
prosecution. All the evidence that had been intro
duced was merely cirounstantial and the Prosecu-
ton did not pretend that they had any direct or
positive evidence of his guilt When the decision
Of dischargs was announced, there was loud and
peated applause by the bystanders, who pressed
around to congratulate Griffin. The young man
was much overcome by his feelings, and left the
room with his father and friends.
While we are sincerely glad that the innocence
of this young man has been maintained, hope
that additional efforts will be made to detect the
guilty parties

few weeks since, +. w Thomas, esq, delivered
lecture in this city, on the early struggles Of
eminent men," Ii was of his happiest efforts.
The subject was we'll chosen, suited 10 the times
and to popular taste The lecture was replete with
the treasures of Mr.. Thomass well-stored mind
arranged with the skill Of disciplined thought and
delivered with the graces of chaste elocution. IL
chained attention throughout, and closed with the
most pleasing impressions.
The peculiar character Of our institutions is cal
cuated TO create public men, and to evolve the great
elements of character that give enduring reputa-
ton. Such men belong to history, and constitute
a partof national reputation and become national
property,
The early struggles Of eminent men are full of
instructive lessons that go through successive gem
erations guides and warnings. They are les
sons in all the departments of mind, and build up
monuments of fame to stimulate honorable amb-
ton.
To make such men theme of popular address,
is to touch the chords that vibrate TO a wholesome
patriotism and commendabc pride.
Many persons who heard this lecture would be
gratifed to hear it again; and many who had not
the pleasure of being present at its delivery, would
be gratfed to have the opportunity of its nstruc-
ton s.
