nrifiSh India.

By the late news il appears that England has annexed the whole of panjaub to her domiaiens, notwithstanding her great horror of conquest, go yirtuously manifested last year. When Texas, an independent people, applied for union under the stars ard stripes, and when none had right to gainsay it but Inc United States, the moral of all England was shockingly outraged, and Brother Jonathan was denounced as a common sinner. The London Times was excessively scandalized at the depravity of this country and read lectures daily on the distressing subject. Now, England has, by force annexed lOo,eOo square miles and 5000, 900 of people 10 her possessions and these journals congratulate their country upon the interesting achievement They show that il absolutely necessity to preserve the tranquility of India and secure their own property in that country. The morality of the achievement Is not discussed Better say nothing that subject, after all said about Texas and Mexico. Indeed, their tirade about the late war is the most shameless exhibition o:hypoc- Fsy that the world ever witnessed; equaled by Inc Devils quoting scripture and reading homiIies on veraciiy. History will do justice 10 this country in the late with Mexico and all parties will be ashamed Of the slanderoas Of party in the  United States and their allies in other countries. No country engage in war with more terrible energy than that of the United States yet thers is none more ayerse to it, as shown by our whOlc history; and none InagnanimOus and forbearing with so much power to svenge.
 The conduct of England. however. toward the sikhs will surprise no one. She has only repeated wha, she has done thousand times before. Her motto is to get all she by force or fraud, or any Osaer means, and hold what she gets by the same means as long as possible. Being now likely to lose Canada she Is making up for the loss by more annexation ia India. which she retain for centuries t0 come.
 We do nos regret the event, however. It will be no disadvantage to India ia the end. The sword carries civilization along with it. It Is sad means O! improvement, which neither viriae nor religion sanctions, but the effect follows. Those who em- Ploy the means should have no credit for the result

The Mischief of q Jest.

The Boston Herald gives the following account of Milton W. streeter, now lying under sentence of death, in Massachusetts for the murder Of hIs wife
 Slrscter is a man of low order of intellect, and almost entirely governed by the animal pas sions He married his wife. Elvirs IIoagh,on after a months courship. and was for several months most fondy attached 10 her--sc much so. we un- derstand, that he could no, bear 10 see any one render to her the most common attentions withoal exhibiting the utmoss jealousy. This trait was observed by his townsmen, aud scme of them made 1t poia, to work upon his suspicious nature by seeming 10 be upon the most intimate terms with his wife. Ws were told that man named Bacon. doing business in the Island of Cuba, visited South bridge few months before the commission Of the murder, and either having discovered or been in- formed of Streeters jealous disposition, set himself to work to excite his suspicious of the chastity of his wife 10 the highest degree To this end he took lodgings in tavern nearly opposite the house oc- eupied by Streeter, and used every method in his power to insnuste that lie was in unlawful communication with Mrs. $. Sreeter observed this, and watched his house and wife with the ui- most vigilance, often negecting his occupation for that purpose; but he made no discoveries warrant
 ing certain belief that his wife was unfaithful to him with this individual.
 1t is said that some of his townsmen were &C., custoned, from time 70 time, 10 give him half a dollar or so and request him to give if to his wife, pretending that they were indebted to her in that amount for some work done by her for them. Such things these, long had rendered Sreeter nervous and irritable in the extreme and he firmly believed Mrs. Streeter had been guilty of ndelity to his bed; he had. therefore, threatened her with severe measures unless she satisfied him of her n- nocence, and had carried razor to bed with him several times, for the purpose of terrifying her into confession; but, instead of confessing anything, she finally complained to justice of the peace thai she considered her life endangered by any further cohabitation with him, and he was therefore put under bonds to keep the Peace and was also ordered to separate from his wife and leave tbe State'' These rude and remorseiess jokers, adds the Ma. tionai Iutelligeneer, have the satisfaction Oi knowing that their fine sport has been purchased by the death of one human being at the hands of a murderer, and is yet to be further paid for by the death of another on the scaffold.

 MORNING MEDITATIONs.

 Let Taylor preach upon a morning breezy, How well to rise while night and larks arc flying. For my part, getting up seems not so easy,
 By half. as tyiaS. What if the lark hes carol in the sky, Soaring beyondIhe sight to find him out Wherefore am to rise at such ilyi
 i'm not trout. Talk not to me of bees. and such like huns, They smell of sweet herbs at the morning prime; Only lie lOag enough, and bed bccomes
 A bed of time. To me Dan Pbg5us and his ears arc nsaghi, His stceds that paw impatientiy about, Let them enjoy. say l. as horses ought.
 The first turn out. Right beautiful the dewy meads appear, Besprinkled by the rosy fingered girl- What theR--if prefer my pillow dear
 To early pearl' My stomach l. not ruled by other mems. And, grambting for season, quaintly begs- Wherefore should the uiiser rise before the hens
 Have laid their eggs. Why from comfortable pillow start, To see faint flushes in the east awakenl A fig, say, for any streaky part,
 Excepting bacon. An early riser. Mr. Gray has grown, Who used to haste the dewy grass among, To mee, the san upon the upland lawn
 Well, he died young With chairwomen such early hours agree, And sweeps that earn betimes their bite and sup, But I'm no climbing boy, and will not be
 All uP-all up Sc here I'll lie, my morning calls deferring, Tilt something nearer 10 the stroke of noon; \ man that's fond precOciOusiy Of stirring,

As bright sun descending beyond the sofi wave,
 Whose lingering beams mark its pathway of light, So sank he to rest in patriots grave,
 His good deeds remaining effulgent and bright Like pillar he stood in the sunlight of Tias.
 While Fame brighies, isurels encircled his brow The chief of a nation whose fair, sunny cline,
 Is darkened by shadows that hang OCT il now. Hsvoics which once heart with delight,
 Is hushed in the silence and shades of the tomb; But like the sweet Cerus, that blooms in the night
 His virtues, so brilliant shine outt thro' the gloom. Oh calm be the rest of the statesman. whose praise
 On history's page, with lustre will shine; That borrows its brightness from glorys pure rays
 And giids great name in America's shrine.

The N. Y. Evening Post gives, from a foreign paper, the following curious item of news:
 The POpe's state carriage, a most gorgeous vehicle, commenced by Leo XII, finished by Gregory XVI, and retouched by Plus K Ut an expense altogether of 2i,0O0 scudI, t5,O0Oi was yesterday conveyed in great pOmp from the Vatican to the Franciscan Convent of Ara Golf, on the CapitOline hill, where it was formally made over to the monks, to serve exclusively for the reyered image of the infant Jesus, when carried to visit the sick and dying in various parts of the city This image, considered by it's beneficial results 10 bc of tho most miraculous that Rome possesses, has nevertheless hitherto been borne on it's charitable missions in an exceedingly shabby coach that the soldiers of the corps de sqre seldom recognized the equPpage in time to present before il had gone by; but yesterday afternoon the good citizens and their wives wept with delight on behoIding the sanfo bGmbino, attended by the guardian mOuks, installed in all the sPendors of the papal carriage and proceeding triumphantly down the Corso to visit the sick and wounded at the hospital of San Giasecmo."
 The Pope might ride along with the image if be would only cOnfne himself to his religion, but the people are resolved not to have humbug in both church and State.

LOUISIANA.

The Picayune of the 18th instant gives returns
from 40 parishes Qrom four of them, however
upon reporD which show majority for Declouet
Wing, over Walker, Democrat, of SOY; in the
same parishes Taylor got majority over Cass Of
1924. Ten parishes, yet to be heard from, gave
Cass 593.
The Bee is probably correct in concluding stha
Walker is chosen by less than 300, and that Ken
ner and Bordelon, the Wing candidates for Lieut.
Governor and Auditor, are both elected; that the
Senate will be Democratic, and the House Wing
and that it is uncertain which will have majority
on joint ballot"
The Bee, of the 18th, says of the Congressional
election;
"The first second and third districts are unchanged
ia sere Loc9} has about seven HUNDRED majority tbe
ffrsf Conrad W) about SIX huadred SIXTY in the
BY the smallest majority he has ever received We think
less than halt the usual strength OF his party But one
parish in the fourth district has been heard fron-St
Martin This is the residence of Morse the Locofocc
candidate, and he is only beaten by Ogden (W) lis
votes.
The fourth district gave Taylor 22l majority
oyer Cass. st. Martin parish gave Taylor 2l6-
In nine parishes of the fourth district, Declouet
gets 1877 over Walker; in the remaining ten, con-
stitutng all the parishes of the State not heard
FROM Cass, as stated above, had 593 maiority.-
From these facts, the election of Morse seems al
least to be uncertain.
