A BRUTAL PARENT.

There is, in this city man whose fortune, in
real and personal estate, is valued at three hun
dred thousand dollars, and whose daughter now
earns her daily bread and that for her two child.

each The repnted cause of this enlargement

years ago, the daughter Of Mr. -, fell victim
to the false promise and honied words of the son
OF one OF our ship owners-they eloped to New
YORK, there lived for some time as man and wife
ana hnally the young man became disspated cut

tress and full OF horrors, he enlisted in the u. S.
Marine Corps, and went Southwest from whence
he never returned. The poor girl, riendless and
alone, in city like New York, soon became ap-
priced OF the real horror and wretchedness of her
situation, wrote, plead, begged and PRAYED her
rich father TO forgive, forget, and take her home.
Her prayers and supplications fell upon heart
of steel, and as last resource, she went-to the
AmshoHse.
The young mother survived the blow, and when
able to leave the charitable institution with her
little child, she did so, and by recommend ton of
one OF the Matrons OF the Almshouse, the out
cast girl sought the dwelling of poor seamstress
in remote street, where she piled her needle for
two years, patiently and laborlously- though in
the meantime she frequntIy wrote pentent and
touching letters to the parent, and at length an
answer came.
She finally gave favor to the addresses of
young man whose acquaintance she had formed i,
and they were duly married This match proved
unhapPy-the husband proved brutal, abusive
and lndolent-and the poor woman now found her.

TO take her children, dispose of her little effects
and return TO Boston, throw herself upon the
mercy OF her father and all would certainly be
forgotten. This advice, the poor girl followed:
returned home, after an abaence of nearly four
years, so changed, so worn, faded and heart torn,
that none who had seen the bright eyed girl of
eighteen, would have recognized the woman of
twenty-five.

A NOBLE ANSWER. The Review Of the
Mexican War by Judge Jay, is one OF the most
valuable historical compendiums ever published
1t would undoubtedly have received the $50 prize
offered by the American Peace Society for the
best review, had it been written with less egard
TO candor and truthtulness. The committee were
quite unanimous for giving it the prize until one
OF the number discovered few pages that he
thought, as he said, might "furnish capital for
the Free Soilers," and Judge Jay was written to
upon the subject, the committee intimated that if
these Objectionable pages were stricken cut he
could have the prize. We do not know the pre-
else acords OF his reply but the purport of it was,
"that he Cudge jay wrote the review with
sincere desire TO subserve the cause OF truth, not
to get the prize, and that he had no amendment
to make" That was noble, and the rapid sale of
the book shows how truly the sincerity Of the
author is esteemed by his countrymen

BEAUTIFUL ALLUsIoN. The parents of La.
MARITIME were married at the very commencement
OF the French Revolution. They loved each
other devotedly; and in the quiet of love and do
mestic seclusion, they ceased to regard the tor
gotten thunder-cloud that lowered over them.
They were not aware of their danger, and OF the
train OF mlseries that awaited them. In allusion
to their situation and feelings, the son, in his
Condolences" page 20, eloquently says"

low which had been torn by the tempest's hand
from the parent trunk, floating in the morning

her nest, as it dritted down the toaming stream
and the male on the wing followed the wreck,

CHINA.
The Emperor had refused to carry outthe stip-
ulations OF the two treaties which provide that
Canton should be open to foreigners. In the
communication of Seu, the Governor of Canton
to Mr. Bonham, he says the Emperor had deter
mined that as as the people Of Canton have re.
fused to receive foreigners into the town, how
can he force and opposite course to the people.
From the nature of the proclamation, it is quite
plain that the authorities were prepared to resist
the entrance of the foreigners into the city; but a
great sacrifice of human blood has been averted
by Lord Palmerston having given special direc-
tons that nothing more should be done than re-
port the reputation of the treaty to him.
The large naval force which had assembled in
the Canton river to protect the English interests,
has all dispersed.
