AZ A supplement to the Liverpool
Journal, of the 18th ult,, devotes a col
umn to the recent correspondence bet
ween Mr.. Husemann, the Austrian
Minister at Washington, and the Amer
lean Secretary of State. After giving
an outline Of the controversy, including
several extracts frcm Mr.. Webster's let
ter, the Journal winds up as follows:
"In this way the Republic is practis-
ing the phraseology in which, by-and-by,
she is to dictate TO dcspotism, and cheer
on everywhere the friends of civilization
truth, and freedom. In this diplomatic
'sct to- however, Mr.. Webster has the
best side of he argument, for he has the
'law on his side while there is a fresh
ness about his courtesy that surprises
and pleases. Congress was delighted
with the maniness of the foreign sccre-
tary and il seems the unwecome laugh
ter NJ Hulsemann's notes excited, reach
ed the attentive ears Of the representa-
tives Of Russia and Austria, both of
whom were in the House"

EXCHANGING PuLPrrs.-A few miles
below Poughkcepsie there now lives
and has lived for several years past, n
worll y clergyman, man, however, very
short in stature. Upon a certain Sun
day, about eight years ago, this clergy
man was invited by the pastor of n
church in that village, 10 ill his pulpit
for the day. The invitation was ac-
cepted, and on Sunday morning saw
The Mr.--in the pulpit. Now II
happened that The pulpit was very high
one, and accordingly nearly hid the poor
little clergyman from view. However,
the congregation, out OF respect, man
aged TO keep their countenances, and
with over pious faces seemed religious
ly anxious for the text They were no
obliged to wait long, for a nose and two
little eyes suddenly appeared over the
top ofthe pulpit, and a in squeaking'
tremulous voice proclaimed in nasal tones
tnt tCAl bC VI goou ,ieSi, ~ - i : "
not afraid" A general roar of laugh
ter followed the announcements the
clergyman became confused, and turned
all sorts OF colors. Many, in general
uproar, left the church, and it was a
long time before the minister was ena
bled to proceed with his sermon, so
abruptly broken of.

RHODE ISLAND SENATOR. The Prov
idence Journal, in reference to th,: cleo
ton OF Charles Il. James. Democrat. to
the Senate Of the United States. by the
General Assembly OF Rhode leland.
says IA more shameless ireachery never
disgraced the annals of any party il the
State: and states that fourteen Whigs
must have voted for Gen. James; il
adds" But their names will be known.
The Wings of the State, the outraged
constituencies whose confidence has
been betrayed, have right TO know the
names Of the men who have done it,
We shall be mistaken il the Whig
members who are innocent ofthis trans
action, do not promptly place themselves
right before the public. They owe it t.
their constituents, and 10 .heir own rep
utatons."
We have been informed that the
friends Of Mr.. Simmons have constant.
ly refused 10 go into caucus, and abide
by the nomination there made. We do
not know what may be thought iu
Rhode Island, of such n refusal on the
part of the portion of the Whig men,
bers of Legislature, to abide by the
decision of the majority in making nom.
inatlons, but we are confident there 10
not another New England state, nor a
central one, in which such proc ceeding
would for moment be tolerated by the
Wings. What influence the New York '
Irlbnne's articles in favor of Simmons,
may have had in the premises, is not
stated. The result is an unfortunate
one to whomsoever it is to be attributed.

,Ls@it is said that William the Con-
qucrcr introduced into England what
was called Troy weight, from Troyes. Il
town in the province Of Champagne. The
English were dissatisfied with it, be-
cause the pound did not weigh SO much
as the pound then in use in England
Hence came the term droir du pOise
which was medium between the French
and the ancient English weight.

Of Ma lame Dudevant's worst novel,
"lndiana." At one time, during their
short stay, Sands went to Charlcstowns
and consulted La Roy Sunderland
Their conversation, according TO the tes-
timony of all who were acquainted with
them, was quite intelligent, especially
that ofSands, who evidently had been
well broughtup. Their intention. they
said. was TO remain at the North for six
months, and then TO return to Ohio,
via New Orleans. In the mean time
they desired TO drive deep into the mya-
teres of the spiri, world, and the young
er desired to prepare to teach the Sci

The pauper there was nobody 10 assert

the time had gone by, when hogging
should be resorted to. even 10 make
I children better. The spirit Of the age
was against it, as unnatural, barbarious,
and inc ticctive.
Mr.. Porter sustained the motion in an
able speech. The kind of punishment
which the bill allowed in certain cases
had already been abolished in our navy
and in most Of our public schools. 1t
was shameful that it should be retained
in our management of ofpaupers. 1t did
no good, but only created hate and "a
spirit of revenge, II was humiliatng
anl wrong, and he believed, wholly un-
necessary. IL had been shown that
those naval commanders, as Stockton
and others, who never reeorted to it.
were most successful in sustaining a
perfect discipline; while nogging there
had uniformly been found to create ne
cessity for it. He thought we could
safely dispen,e with ii in every depart
ment Of life, and thatwe certainly should
dispense with itin he treatment of those
whose first great offence was poverty.
MIR. Ames defended the bill and op-
posed the amendment at some length
He thought the keepers OF paupcr chill
dren should be allowed TO correct them
under the same regulations which ap-
piled 10 parents and children. He had

and he was satisfied that no method Of
correction was better than that usually
adopted by the father for his child. Tie
was not sure that corporal punishment
should be applied to children more than
twelve or fourteen years of age. but he
lclt confident that proper discipline could
not be maintained in asyIums, any more
than in flmIIes. without occasional re-
sort TO it.
Mr.. Crans'on SPOKE briefly against
the motion.
