e4r We would invite the attention of our
readers to the advertisement of the New Eng
land Art Union, in another column. 1t is
probably understood that this institution was
incorporated for the purpose of encouraging
American artists, and to hold out inducements
for excelling in the productions of genius
This alone renders it an institution worthy of
public beneicence, but on this ground it lays
no claims. Subscribers, paving five dollars are
not only entitled to share in the distribution,
but to an engraving, usually worth the money.
The engraving for subscribers for 1851 is from
Allstons saul and the Witch of Endor"-
The Painting is allowed by all to be one of the
finest of our great artists works. The story is
admirably told the witch, with her divining
rod has struck the magic circle, within which
the ghost of Samuel appears. On the opposite
side of the picture stands the kirg paralyzed
with fear, while in the distance are seen two
soldiers fleeing with horror from the scene.
Subscriptions received by Sawyer s. Magoun.

VIRGINIA.-The difficulties between Eastern
and W estern Virginia, have been adjusted in
the Convention now engaged in forming new
Constitution, by compromise upon the follow
ing basis = -. s..
l. The House of Delegates shall consist Of
$50 members, 50 to be chosen from the West,
and 6S from the East, making Western ma
iority of IA.
2. The Senate shall consist of SO members,
80 from the East, and 20 from West, making an
Eastern majority of 10. l a.i. -.4.r
8. In 1866, the Legislature shall reapportion
representation in both houses, but if it cannot
agree upon a reapportionmcnt, or from any
cause fails to make one, the sense of tie quail
fed voters is to be taken whether the two
houses, or either of them, shall be apportioned
upon the basis of the number of voters. or upon
mixed basis of numbers and property, Gnclu-
ding slaves) as at present.

Naval Anecs1Ote,


When Macdonough was First Licuten-
Captain Smith, u circumstance occurred
in the harbor Of Gibraltar, sufficiently in
dicative Of the frmncss and decision Of his
character. An American merchant brig
came TO anchor near tho Unitod States vcs-
sci. Macdonough, in the absence of Cap
tain Smith. who had gone on shore, saw
boat from British frigntc bonrd the brig
and take from her man. He Instantly
manned and armed his brig. and pursued
the British boat. which he overlook just q
il reached The frigaIc, and without ccremo-
ny took the impressed man into his own
boat. The frigatc's boat was twice tho
force of his own; but the uct was 20 bold ~
To astound the Lieutenant who commun-
ded the press gang, and no resistance wns
offered.
When the affair was made known to the
British captain, !c came on board the Sircn
IN great rage. and inquired how he dared
to take n man from his boat.
Macdonongh replied that the man was
an American seaman, and was under the
protection of the flag of the United Suites,
and that il was his duty TO protect him.
The Captain, withn vollcy Of oaths swors
he would bring his irigatc alongside the 81
rcn and sink her
"l'lat you may do" said Macdonough.
but while she swims the man you will not
have"
The English captain told Macdonongh
that he wasa young hair Drained fellow,
