hours from Cholera. The death of Mr. Mi

our whole town which time only can remove.
A eulogy from us is unnecessary. He will
long be remembered by all who knew him.
He has left a wife (who is thus doubIy attic

The Three De.pots.

1t is an old saying that ''when rogues
fall out honest men come to their rights, "
The Muscoyite, the Austrian and the OF
toman have done what they could to keep
mankind out of their rights, and the gene
raj impression seems to be that a falling
out among them might afford profitable
verifcation of the old proverb. There
would be sympathy for Turkey were the
Gear to attack her in the present conJunc-
ture, because, so far as right and wrong
are concerned in the special case, the
Gear would be the aggressor. For the
Turk, as Turk, we can have little sympa-
thy. All that is not slave in HIM Is tyrant.
Much superhuous laudation has been be-
slowed upon the Porte for the stand 1t has
taken in refusing to gave up the exiies OF
Widen. Ii is a noble, humane, chival-
rous act. as the journalists inform us. Let
the Mussulman have his due when he does
a noble deed; but there is nothing to IN
duce us to think that there was any talk of
philanthropy in the divan when il was de-
cided to say .'no" to the Gar The
Turks certainly care nothing for Kossuth,
nor would they lift finger to save him
from the scaffold, were It not that the mat
ter touch@s@.eir political rights and their
national dignity. They have thrown their
shield over the fugitive-not for the rea-
son that they sympathize with his cause,
but to repel the encroachment OF hated
rival. The Sultan has heretofore made
the same demands OF Austria and Russia
which those powers are now making of
him. We have already referred to the
case of Russia at the time OF the Greek in
surrection. In recent instance of a rebel
hon in the Turkish province OF Serbia, the
Hospodar of that country, Prince Michael
Obrenovich, fled into the Austrian territory.
The Porte in vain demanded OF Meter
nich's government either his extradltlon or
his dismissal from the Austrian territories.
II is also well known that the leader OF the
present instruction in Bosnia, having
formerly been guilty of political offences
against the Porte, took shelter in Croatia.
The Turkish authorities applied to the Aus
trian government of the day for his extra.
dition in vain, for he was allowed to re-
main in the Austrian territory until the
storm had blown over.
Ii is also a singular fact that, in the Pc
lish revolution, Russia never required Aus
tria or Prussia to render up the exiles tina
had taken refuge in those countries; ant
the peremptory bearing now assumed to
wards the Porte is the more preposterou
and inexcusable. Every thing shows tina
the demand of the Gar was hasty and in
considerate, and that the general voice o
Europe will call upon him TO desist. Aus
tria herself cannot heartily second him ii
an obstinate persistence upon this point

Muscovites to Constantinope.-Bostor

The Tower CHAPEL.-One of the most eloquent
passages in Macaulay's History is that in which he
describes ST. Peters chapel, IN the Tower, where so
many illustrious victims of English tyranny lie
buried The paragraph occurs in the closing part
OF the account of the execution OF the unhappy Duke
of Monmouth
"The head and body were placed in coffin COW
cred with black velvet, and We're laid privately
under the communion table of st. Peters chapel, in
the Tower. Within four years the pavement of that
chancel was again disturbed, and hard by the re-
mains of Monmouth were laid the remains OF Jei
rles In truth there Is no sadder spot on the earth
than that little cemetery Death is there associated,
not as in Westminster Abbey and st. Paul's, with
genius and virtue, with public veneration and with
unpershabe renown; not, as IN our humble.t
churches and churchyards with every thing that Is
most endearing in social and domestic charities,
but with whatever is darkest in human destiny,
with the savage triumph OF implacable enemies,
with the Inconsistency, the ingratitude, the coward
ice of friends, with all the miseries OF fallen great
ness and of blighted fame.
"Thither have been carried, through successive
ages, by the rude hands of jaiers, without one
mourner following, the bleeding relics OF men who
had been the captains OF armies the leaders OF par
ties, the oracles of scuates, and the ornaments of
courts. Thither was borne, before the window
where Jane Gray was praying, the mangled corpse
of Guilford Dudley. Edward Seymour, duke of
Somerset, and protector OF the realm reposes there
by the brother whom he murdered. There has
mouldered away the headlcss trunk of John Fisher,
bishop of Rochester, and cardinal of ST. Vitalis,
man worthy to have lived in better age, and to
Lave died in a better cause. There are laid John
Dudley, duke of Northumberland Lord High Adj
mlral, and Thomas Cromwell, earl OF Essex, Lord
High Treasurer. There, too, is another Essex, on
whom nature and fortune had lavished all their
bounties in vain; and whom valor, grace, genius,
royal favor, popular applause, conducted to an ig-
nominious doom Not far of sleep two chiefs Of the
great house of Howard, Thomas, fourth duke Of
Norfolk, and Philip, eleventh earl of Arundel.
Here and there, among the thick graves of unquiet
and aspiring statesmen, lie more delicate sufferers
Margaret of Salisbury the last of the proud of
Plantagenet, and those two fair queens who per-
ished by the jealous rage of Henry. Such was the
dust with which the dust of Monmouth mingled

We have private advices from the seat
of government of Illinois to the 2lst inst.
The excitement among the Locofoco mem
bers is said to be greater than at any pre-
vious period of the history of that State,
growing out of the election of United
States Senator The two Houses are COM
posed of one hundred members, in the
aggregate of which seventy are Loco
focos and thirty are Wings. The can
didates are Breese, McClernand, and
Shields, with the chances in favor Of
McCernand, he having twenty-six reia-
Bile votes to 60 into caucus with. Our in
formant writes that it was in contempla-
ton to drop Breese, in which event the
Hon. Robert Smith, late member Of Con-
gress, would be taken up, which might
give an entire new face to things.
Judge Douglass was at Springfield, using
his influence to its utmost in favor OF Mr..
McClernand.

country their permanent abode, and buoyed up
with strong hope of finding in this hemisphere

they were unable TO acquire in the i'll fated isle

ing them. The substance of them may be
given hereafter.
Mr.. Van Swearingen moved that the re-
solutions be adopted Great confusion,
and calls for the ''question.
Mr.. Blennerhassett took the floor, and
asked the privilege of saying word.
AT this point the tumult became so great
that it was impossible for speaker to be
heard Cries of ''question," "Green,"
''Blennel hassett." mingled with Kisses,
applause and laughter, drowned the voice
of the chairman, so that he was unable to
be heard by those nearest the stand
Several gentlemen took thestand for the
purpose of restoring quiet, but their appeals
were unheard, so continuous was the cla-
NOR for and against the resolutions. At
no time, for the space of an hour and a
quarter, was it possible for dozen words
to be heard from any Of the many gentle
men who attempted to speak. Mr. Green
during this time maintained the speakers
stand, endeavoring to be heard in continu-
alton OF his remarks. but every effort was
unsuccessful. A police force was finally
procured, by whose presence order was
secured and maintained, and Mr.. Green
proceeded with his remarks. The resolu
tons of the committee were announced as
passed, but at what period, during the con-
fusion, action was had upon them. we
were unable to hear.
Mr.. Green proceeded with his remarks
amidst cat-calls, whistling, Kisses, clap
ping. and all kinds Of noises and confusion
He, however, bore the interruption with
great patience and apparent good feeling.
But little OF what he said was heard by
those not in his immediate vicinity.
When Mr.. Green concluded, the meet
ing adjourned Mr.. Bennerhassett, for
mery leading Soft, and opponent Of Ben
ton, was loudly called for, and addressed
the meeting. He protested against the
resolutions passed by the meeting being
taken as the expression Of the opinions of
the Democracy of St. Louis. He was in
terrupted by Judge Krum and Mr.. Van
Swearingen, and when we left he was still
defending the man he had but short time
ago bitterly denounced.
