that he had vacated his seat in order TO assume the

In like manner, lot Richard Golden be nomi-

tation being great, he should Of course receive
salary commensurate TO the advantages he fore
goes in renouncing his present calling. Who can tell
how many more broad acres, the proceeds Of penny
subscriptions, await his career as an agitator? To
such a man the guIlibe land we live in presents a

Between money, and the benefits that would re-

absorption of Richard Golden, there is no common

When Fox declared, in his place in Parliament,
that he admired ''the new constitution of France
the most stupendous and glorious edifice of lib
erty which has been erected on the foundations Of
human integrity in any age country" he com
mitted an outrage upon his own reputation for sa-
gacity which subsequent wisdom could obliterate.
So, in like manner, when Sir Robert Peel rose to
pollute his lips with an encomium upon the most
persevering, subtle, unscrupulous, and successful
agitator of the present age, he committed fauz
pas that time and circumstances bid fair to stereo-
type.

railroad accident was occasioned last evening
by the wall in Bergen Hill being carried down on
the track by the storm, about one hundred yards
east of the Paterson depot, just before the Ramapo
train came up from Jersey City, which stopped,
of course. The FIVE p. m. New Brunswick train
came up Immediately after, and the engine was re-
versed as soon as il was perceived that the other
train had stopped but on account Of the slippery
state Of the track though the speed was considera
bly, retarded the engine Of the latter ran into the
rear car of the Ramapo train, damaging the engine
and one car of the New Brunswick train but, for
tunately, no passengers were injured. The brake
man, Pierce Regain, had some flesh wounds on his
legs, but no bones broken, and is expected to do
well. The train was detained about two hours.

MUSICAL ENTERTANMENT.-By reference to our
advertising columns, it will be perceived that the
Campanalogians, Stciss BelI-ringrs, under the
direction Of their talented leader, Hem FREEBERTs
HYsER, have announced a series of musical enter
tainments at Odd Fellows Hall the present week,
commencing this evening. The reputation which

by their chaste select, and at the same time novel
entertainments leaves no room TO doubt that the

their spring trade. The weather having become

who neglect on the one hand, refuse the other

SwINpLISG.-A German was arrested in this city
last week, for obtaining goods from one OF the
clothing stores on Pennsylvania avenue under false
pretences; and ON an investigation of the matter
before Justice Dom, on Saturday last. he was dis
charged, the evidence not being sufficiently strong,
under the present law, 10 send him TO further trial,

perfidious bark

REJECTED vALKsrIsEs.- very large number OF
Valentines passed through the post Office yesterday
or were distributed by the penny postrnen. We
understand there an increase over last year in
those received at the post Office although falling
of in the number left by the penny post. Many
costly Valentines, in elegant envelopes and on
which the postage had been paid, were refused by
the persons TO whom they were addressed; and we
learn that upwards Of four hundred Valentines,
thus rejected were returned to the poet Office The
practice Of some stupid young coxcombs Of sending
impertinent or indecent missves, under the dis
guise Of Valentines, has doubt, resulted in in
ducing many families 10 exclude all Valentines
without distinction, indeed il would be difficult
10 say whether insult were not couched under a
richly embroidered envelope as well as under one
Of coarssr texture. The fellow, who will avail him
self Of the license of the anniversary insult lady
or wound her feelings, must be a very irredeema-
BILE species Of blackguard.
One word 10 the vendors OF Valentines They
injure their own business by selling those wretched
caricatures intended only to insult the recipient.
The really tasteful aud unexceptionable Valentine
IL excluded because Of the bad one and thus the
custom falls into disfavor and desuetudc, and the
demands falls off II these missives were shaped
only in spirit consistent with friendship and per-
feet respect, there would not be quite 30 many re-
jected Valentines at the post Office the 18th Of
