minutes, she complained of a burning in

the body. She said it was a stimulant,
and, in short, she just told the name ofthe
article, (capsicum.) The pulse was redu-
ced in number fifteen to the minute in 4.
bout fifteen minutes. An active cathartc
was now placed in her hands, enveloped
IN paper, so as 10 conceal from her its

said il was a cathartc, and in about thirty
minutes it operated on her bowels. At

.AnecdOte Of Chalmers.

A person we'll known in Glasgow for
superior talent and scientific attainments,
but withal for a tinge of skepticism in
religion, was et'by an old companion
hurrying to the Iron church, while the
bells were ringing for the afternoon SER
vice.
"Come," said his friend, and hear
Chalmers"
81 shall do no such thing" was the
reply. "Do you think | would trouble
myself to hear mailman -
You had better Judge for yourself by
coming for once" And, taking his arm.
thew were both speedily seated in the
densely crowded church. What was the
establishment of the skeptical gentleman,
when the Doctor gave out for his text;
Il am not mad, most noble Festus, but
sneak the words of truth and soberness. "
He felt that his false judgement OF the
preacher was rebuked, as 1t were, by
voice from heaven and the sermon which
he heard, the object OF which was to Tx
the charge of madness where 1t ought to
be fixed, on those, who, believing IN a
future world, continue to live without
God and without hope, while It was
shown that truth and soberness were only
with those who act according TO their be-
lief and profession Of the gospel, was adj
mirably fitted for deepening the impress
sion made by the text, and for removing
the flimsy arguments of philosophy so
called" From that day forth, the gen
teman became constant nearer OF Dr.
Chalmers, a confirmed believer IN the
doctrines, and steady performer OF the
duties of the Christian faith.
1t occasionally happened, about this
time, that Professor Young, OF the Greek
chair in the University, man OF great
learning and genius, ofsingular metaphyss-
ical ucunaen, was led 10 the Iron church
from his unbounded admiration OF DIR.
Chalmers, and nothing could more strong
" mark the power of the preachers elo-
Guence, than the effect it produced upon
that distinguished individual. HIS mas
s;ve countenance at first became radiant
with intellectual delight; then as the
Doctor warmed in his discourse, II swell
ed out under intense excitement. Ills
Inns which Peters Letters" describe as
having the grimness OF oiacKsmi'n
vice, were pulled out and drawn IN win
nrodioious force and velocity: till at
length, fairly overpowered by the magic
Influence of the preacher, be threw his
head backwards, his expansive chest
heayed, till the termination OF a thrilling
paragraph, which afforded the congrega,
lion q momentary breathing time, allowed
him TO remove and clear his sPectacles,
in nrepara,ion for another burst of elo-
ouence. --Church MGgd-lne.

Mahon's History Of England, which will
comprise the first years ofour Revolution

Our publishers, if the work does not win

DISTINGUISHED CUBAN NIsITORs.--Thc
Countess of Alcoy, wife of the Cuban
Governor, it is reported, was 10 leave
Havana in the Georgia for the United
states. for the benefit of an invalid daugh-
ter's health, but the plan was given up.

is coming TO Washington on State affairs.
II is rumored that these distinguished per-
sonages will have placed at their dispo-
sition national vessel. So we gather
from Havana letter Of the Sd instant, to
the Tribune, which adds:
The familiarity with our people Incl
dent TO travel, and the comforts of tho
land, will have tendency to amelorate
those prejudices which prevent the attain
ment of good for the two antagonIstlc COM
munities, as the press here determines
they shall be. The Countess is as ele-
waited in moral and intellectual character
as in social position.

A Voice from the "Tenth Legion.

The Union Mass Meeting held in this
place on Saturday last, was quite an en-
thusas,ic meeting. At an early hour the
people began to throng our streets. Ban
ners and flags with appropriate notices
were displayed at different points on the
main street. The New Market Band en-
livened the day with excellent and soul
stirring music. From ten 10 twelve hun
dred freemen assembled in the majesty
of their strength and asserted their devo-
ton to our free institutions and the sta
bilitv of this confederacy of States. We
hail it as a glorious demonstration Of the
"Tenth Legion" on all subjects Of grave
import, especially such as have tendency
to endanger the permanency of,he Union.
The spirit of harmony and Cancellation
for the sake of liberty and peace, charac-
terized the deliberations of the meeting.
They were prudently and calmly acted
upon. The sentiment was unanimous,
both for the Union and Compromise for
the sake of The Union. The action Of the
meeting on the preamble and resolutions
reflect high credit on the committee, of
which Mr.. Salyards was Chairman, show
Jig that they had prepared them in accor.

The Philadelphia papers contain some
account of quite row between the BaII-
moreans and the colored waters al Cape
May, in which the latter were totally rou-
ted. 1t appears that one Of the waters,
during bali at the Atlantic Hotel, insult
ed one of the Ballimoreans, and when the
ball was over, he knocked the waiter down.
The servants to the number of one hun
dred rushed TO his rescue, and the BaIli-
moreans came to the assistance of their
townsnan. There was quite a number
of bruised heads and faces on both sides,
but the negroes were finally routed, and
order restored.

Universal Suffrage and the
Mixed Basis.

mlACu
Our readers are no doubt aware that all
The candidates for the Convention have
declared themselves in favor of The extern
sion of the Right Of Suffrage, with certain
necessary qualifications as 10 age resi-
dence, &c. The principle upon which
This change in our organic law is urged
by them all, is that Of the political equal
itu of all men in community. So far,
so good. We yield our ready assent TO
the proposed change, and the correctness
of the principle which suggests It, buI
when some Of those, who are soliciting
the suffrages of the people. advocate the
adoption OF the combined Basis of Repre-
sentation-the Basis Of Population and
Property, we beg leave 10 dissent from
them. With what consistency can any
man advocate both propositions ! In one
he affirms a principle; in the other he
denies it. In the first he gives to every
man an equal voice, an equal influence in
the affairs of the State; in the other he
DESTROYS that equality. What practical
advantage is it to one, if he is allowed 10
vote, and vet that vote be not entitled to
its proper weightin the enactment of laws
which are to govern all alike. Such a
privilege is but a shadow without the sub
stance. Those who support both meas
ures are certainly guilty of gross and pal
pable inconsistency. In advocating the
extension of Suffrage, they keep the
word of promise to the ear" in urging
the adoption of the Mixed Basis, they
" break it to the hope"
Will the Republican voters of this dis
trict sustain doctrine so Anti-RepubIican,
ave, so Monarchical, for it is nothing less
than relic derived from the English sys-
tenn of Representation, in which property
has the controlling power! Why should
Virginia alone Of all the States in this
Confederacy be so tenacious of these arls-
tocratic notions of England ? Let her
discard this as she has others, and she
can then compete with her sister States
in the race for greatness and renown.
In what we have said, we do not wish
to be understood as cOntending that prop.
erty should not nave its proper protection;
all we mean to say is that we do not think
it should be regarded as an element in the
distribution of political power in the State.
We are willing to see it properly surroun.

In these, the ancients certainly far ex-
ceeded the moderns. Sir Humphrey
Davy made many efforts 10 an?lyze the
celebrated Tyrian purple OF the East ;
but these efforts were without success.
He declared he could not discover of
what il was composed. The Naples
yellow, too, though less known was much
used, and the ar. Of making it is now en-
,irely gone. The Tyrian purple is the
rolor Of many houses Of Pompeil, and
they look as fresh as just painted:
The colors of Titan are equally as
vivid and beautiful as when first laid on
by The great artist, while those of Sir
Joshua Reynolds already look chaIky
and dead. And Sir Joshua himself con-
iessed, after making i, the study Of his

Passage of the Texas Boundary Bill

We are gratiied TO have it in ou1
power to announce to our readers, tie
passage of the Bill introduced into the
Senate by Mr.. Pearce of Maryland, fol-
The adjustment Of the Texas Boundary
question. The Bill provides for the pay
ment TO Texas of ten millions of dollars,
in consideration Of her REIMBURSEMENT oil
the territory in dispute. We infer from
the fact that Houston and Rusk, the Tex
as Senators, voted for it, that Texas will
accept the provisions of the Bill, as we
have no doubt they have been consulting
public opinion in their own State. Now
that this question has been disposed of,
we may hope for speedy settlement OF
the whole matter which has, for so long
a period, occupied the time of Congress
to the exclusion of all other business. We
have always regarded ii as the greatest
barrier TO the adjustment Of the difficulties
which have surrounded Congress during
the eight months past. lthas been pro-
life source of agitation, and the public
will be to that extent relieved by the pas
sage of Mr.. Pearce's Bill. We annex the
