the Sophomore class in defiance of this rule,
attended the Court last Tuesday, and were
suspended in consequence. Sume words up-
on the subject occurring, to-day, between a
student aud one Of the professors, the stu,

the largest and most enthusiastic conventio on
of the people ever held in that city. The res-
outions go strong for the Union, and even re-
pudiate dissolution last resort. They de-
clare that no grievance could warrant such a
rupture. The lat resolution sets forth that it
is the deliberate opinion of the meeting that on
the faithful execution of the Fugitive Slave
law. depends the preservation of our much low
ed confederacy. They resolved to support no
man for the Presidency who was not for the

THsrLrNe Incident. On Tuesday last,
during the height of the storm, a washer
woman residing in the basement OF a house
corner of London and Decatur streets, East
Boston, went 10 another section of that par
of the city, to do some work, leaving behind
her an infant and another child only four
years of age, whom she locked in her room.
About half-past l l o'clock, having finished
her work, she started for home, and in going
along Liverpool street she found the tide SO
nigh that she could go no further. Turning
INTO London street she found her passage in
that direction also impeded by the high
water.
Her anxiety for the safety of her little ones
now became great in The extreme, and obser-
wing two men padding about in boat, she
made known TO them her situation. They
took her on board and rowed to her house,
which they found surrounded with the rising
water, and with all possible haste, they
broke open the door of the basement, where
they found the TWO children safe in cradle,
the eldest sitting up 10 one end, and the
infant lying down in the other.
The feelings of the mother can better be
ina gincd than described, when it is known
that the cradle was floating on the water,
which had filed the room to within less than
two feet OF the ceiling.-Jour.

The Slave Trade I'm Braztl.

The Emperor of Brazil, in his speech to the
Chambers on the 30th ult., declared that the
almost entire extinction of the slave trade had
been effected, by the vigorous enforcement of
the law of 4th September last, and invoked their
cooperation to prevent its resuscitation. A
letter dated Rio Janeiro, 18th ult, says:-
THE Government is determined to put down
this infamous traffic, and will spare no one who
may commit himself. The Brazilian war stea-
mer Thetis gave chase to q slave schooner,
which, off the bar of Itabapoana, succeeded in
landing her cargo-abont $50. The junior Off
Ger commanding a small detachment on that
part of the coast, was offered $4,000 (e75O, J
by the smuggleIs, which he refused, and took
possession of the blacks, who were brought
hither in the Thetis. The name of a recently
created Portuguese baron is mentioned connec.
ted with this affair and if it can be proved thai
he is compromised, the rigor of the law will be
enforced

The Wing Nominations,

The Lancaster Wing Convention on Tuesday
24th inst, nominated for the Office of Governor
"m- F. Johnston. This is as we expected, and
therefore is not news of much note Johnston
with few leading abolition Wings is perhaps
popular, but with the national Wings of this
State his nomination does not meet with gene
raj favor He is known to be opposed to the
adjustment measures of the last Congress. or
at least part of them, and therefore is not q
friend of the Union, and we place him along
side of such political tricksters, demagogues
and ''higher law" men as Seward and Fish of
New York, Wade of Ohio, and Quincy of Mas
sachusetts. The American" published at
Harrisburg is his orgcn, and says that mo man
who voted for tax on hneal inheritances should
be supported by the people of Pennsylvania. -

TIMES IN one day an ITS most Objectionable shane.

'eTaty has the organ out of Its own mouth con-
de"aned tkeir candidate. He cannot touch Bipler
ior the very reason that his popularity is not so
great with the People, and on them every man
must rely who expects to be elected
The candidate for Canal Commissioner was
not nominated for the office last on account of
MS very unfortunate Uote against supplies to the
army. Read In another column the facts con-
cerning him. He will be defeated bv about
10000.
For Judges of the Supreme Court they have
Richard Coulter, of Westmoreland, VIM. Nj.
Merideth, of Philadelphia, Wm Jessup, of
Susquehanna, George Chambers, of Franklin.
and Joshua A Comfy, of Montour. Judge
Coulter is not popular because he opposed Gen.
Markle when he was the Wing candidate for
Governor, and assisted in defeating him. Mer-
ldeth is a man of considerable ability. but his
connection with the Galphin Cabinet as Secre-
tary OF the Treasury has rendered his name
universally odious to the people, and many
wings here say they cannot support him. Jes-
sup is said to be a strong abolitionist and is Of
course friend of Gov. Johnston The people
cannot support a man of that kind Comfy and
Chambers, the first lawyer and the latte,
lately appointed judge, are men of clever capa.
city, but in legal learning and research the
whole ticket is an impotent one, and does no
carry with it the confidence of the party.
The Democratic nominations are much better
ana abler men, and as such the people will
support them. So look out Mr.. Wings for the
deieat OF your whole State ticket next fall by
real Jackson majority.
