A Curious Relic.

MIR. Thompson, who is compositor in the
Courier office in this city, has in his possession
very interesting historical relic-a small en-
broidered cambria pocket handkerchief, which
was used by Charles |. upon the scaffold, and
which is stained with his blood. hcame orig
inally from John Fenwicke, who was major of
cavalry in Cromwell's army, and in that ca
pacity required to be present at the execution
fthe unhappy monarch. The relic passed
from his family to that of Jacob Lyell, whose
wife emigratcd to New Jersey near the close
of the seventeenth century, and was connected
with the Fenwicke family. She gave it to her
daughters, who kept it with the greatest care,
and at their death, it passed into another branch
of the family and has finally come into pos
session of Mr.. Thompson. Its authenticity
seems to be clearly traced and proved beyond
doubt. The handkerchief is of small size, and
the figure of the Scottish thistle is embroidered
around the edges. Upon one corner is very
small figure of a crown. 1t is thickly stained
with dark spots, some of which are as large as
dollar-the other smaller. The linen is con-
siderably discolored by time. Itscems to have
been ironed but not washed.-N. Y. Posi-.

Paine's Hydro electric nj Light.

A correspondent of the New York Tribune,
under date of Northampton, Mass, June Sd,
says
The reality and practical utility Of Mr.
Paine S discovery and invention, so far at least
as the production of light is concerned-and
perhaps the same may be said of heat also
have been most fully and satisfactorily tested
The principle, applied as prescribed, inallibly
produces the promised results; so that the time
may be regarded as not distant, when the whale
may securely sport in his native ocean, when
the coal-beds of the earth may rest forever un-
disturbed, and the forests, whose end was to
be burned may be said to have outlived their
doom.
Very recently, Mr.. Paine has received a
communication from Sir George Cayley, Pres
ident of the Royal Polytechnic Institution of
London, through Rev. DR.. EcVickar Of New
York, in which Sir George says that he has
learned from the American papers that the dis
covery referred to has been made that he had
for years been convinced, and had predicted,
that the time was approaching when the COM
ponents Of water would be separated and con-
verted to practical purposes; and desiring to be
Informed to the fact of such discovery
having been made, and if so, soliciting in behalf
of the Royal Polytechnic Institution, the honor
of being the medium of its first introduction in
to England.

and Mr.. Tomlins, the gentleman who had ac-
companied Mrs. Harrington, and myself, strove
to soothe the females. Alas ! saw in that
poor woman's eyes the deep revelation of a
cureless sorrow Her son might even attain
to wealth and consideration in the land to which
he was being sent, but she was stricken down
forever by the sting of disgrace. Her heart.
that nobody could see, was sobbing and bleed
ing within her poor bosom, that concealed from
all but one eye, the darkness of troubled cur
rents.
A few short months, and Mrs. Harrington
was in the grave. She had borne up until she
heard that Edward had landed in Australia
and, blessing him, and hoping that he would
become better and wiser man, she died
leaving her daughters to struggle for subsis-
tence with their needles. The disgrace Of
that brothers crime clung to them through
life. Goodness, suffering, and beauty were
insufficient to preserve them in that society in
which they had been reared, and in which the
bounty OF their relatives might have preserved
them. They were the sisters of convict,
whose presence in the house of relative, re-
called a disgraceful connection. They were
pitied at first, then Stunned, and finally neg
lected, because of their accidental relationship.
Could the man who tottcrs on the verge of
criminality, only realize the sublime saying of
the Roman orator, that man does not live for
himself alone how cautiously would he draw
back from the dark gulf of temptation If
every man could only recollect that even the
most trivial word or casual deed, spoken or
transacted upon this earth, floats upon the
stream of life, and vibrates into the ocean of
eternity, operating through numberless beings,
perhaps, who have been impressed by him,
surely he would guard each word and deed,
as he guards his grosser legacy of gold, and
would take care that it should be pure and
true.

British Quaksrlsm and Anti.Slayery.

RIcHARD ID. WEBB, member of the so.
ciety of Friends in Dublin, Ireland, writes
as follows to the National A. s. Standard
His description of the quality of the preva-
lent 0uakerisn and Anti-sloyery of Great
Britain Is true TO the life:
This Is the time of the Friends YEARLY
Meeting here. Among other papers that
were read was a long Address to Soyereipns
ana other rulers IN Europe and elsewhere
on the slave Trade and Slavery. The first
part was IKE sermon-the latter part was
toieraDiy iorcible, as compared with other
documents proceeding from the same source.
The address was signed by one, and is in
process oi presentation by another of those
friends VINO were sent out few years ago to
the Unlteu states TO induce the Anti-Slave-
ry friends OF Indiana TO give up their Sc
cesslon, and quietly submit themselves un-
condlionaIly to the larger body. You re-
member the Anti-Slnvery Friends were COM
PEELED to secede for having taken the ad-
vice to act boldly and individually on the
slave's behalf--which had been given in re-
peated epistles by those very head men who
now came out eating their own words-and
who, as Tar as heard, did not speak word
in the United States in behalf of the slaves.
This plan Of addressing kings and great men
is their iayorite way of going to work-and
when they get courteous reception they
think they have effected a wonderful deal
for the Anti-Slavery cause. They have lit
tie idea at appealing directly to the people,
and the result is that although an Anti-Sla-
very sentiment pervades England, il is so
little founded upon an accurate apprehen-
sion of the extent TO which the pro-slavery
spirit corrupts Church and State and social
life in the United Stntes that one crafty and
unscrupulous pro-savery American can do
more mischief in one conversation than the
British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society do
of good in a twelvemonth. 1t is my opinion
that the Committee of the British and For
cign Anti-Savery Society do more harm
than good TO the cause. They collect the
contributions of those generous people who
take no trouble about the distributions of
their donotions-they support their secre-
tary and his officers and they do little or
nothing to inform and enlighten the public
mind as 10 the tremendous position of Sla-

ton met May 10th, was in session eight days,
framed the Constitution, and laid it before the

that month of May, the Constitution had been
voted on and adopted, and long before this the
Legislature has been chosen, Senators elected,

SuIcIDE OF A SLAvE.-Just before the arri-
val of the mail boat yesterday, colored
man was discovered on board, under circum-
stances which induced the Captain to believe
that he was a runaway slave. Upon ques-
tioning him, the Captain became confirmed
in his suspicious, and had him conveyed
across the river in the yawl to Kentucky, to
be lodged in Jail, until the owner should be
found. Before the hands could make fast
the boat, to the Covington wharf, the negro,
after declaring that he would die sooner than
return to his master, jumped from the stern
of tho yawl, and drowned. All efforts to
rescue him proved unayaiing.-Cincinnati
