Crime In "Fortune- makingv England.

A recent number of "Dickens Household
Words" draws frightful picture of crime in
the rural districts of Eugland-'Awful visits OF

that people were most brutally ignorant in the

their hopes. spoke of the necessity AS We'll
a. propdety, Of conclating this class, and that
!, MS one, was disposed TO make concessions to
them as to the time Of State action For the
purpose OF harmonizng all the friends OF resist
ance, was disposed to watt but not Indefinite
ly. The work must be consummated by the
convention elect, and not postponed longer than
the period of its political existence. To this
end, | suggested that the day of assembling
the convention should be fixed on the first OF
April, May, or June next, which would extend
the duration OF its political power until cor
responding period in the year 1858. This
would allow the most ample time for the hopes
of the resistance wing of the cooperation party
to be fully tested and il no demonstration Of
Southern corporation should by that time be
made, these patriotic men would unite with the
seccssionists, to vindica the honor, the rights
and independence of South Carolina.
In the meantime was not in favor of the
convention being inactive, but thought that it
should engage alone n active preparations, and
that it should at once adopt some decisive and
irrev0cabe measures towards secession. Some
of these measures briefly limited at. My sole
motive for temporary delay, was to obtain har-
mony. 1t was a concession to those who
were not quite ready. For these considerations,
was in hopes that the more moderate counsels
would prevail, and keep in check those who
were for the secession of the State 30 soon MS
the convention could be called together. These
are the views which expressed on that occasion
on that part of the subject, and which en-
bodied in letter addressed to public meeting

political fanaticsm upon any party, or body of
men, in South Carolina. do not know that
such opprobrium can justly attach to any party
in this State, unless, indeed, it be to those who
for love and in awe of the great Idol of Wash

South Carolina down from her lofty position,
and plunge her into state of weakness aud dis
grace, which will make her the laughing stock
of her sister States, North and South and render
her forever mpotent to do any act for the vindi-
cation finer rights and the recovery of her indie
pendence.

letter. | could not be quiet, and suffer the i'm
preston to exist that had aimed a blow feeble
though it might beg at this able, fearless, patro-
tic champion of South Carolina.

JENNY LIND AND HER ADMIRERS AT THE
FALLs.--The vulgar curiosity which follows this
poor woman wherever she goes, must be excess
sively annoying to her, and is rendered douby
so in not being shown only by the lower classes,
but even by those whose position at least should
prevent their exercising quite so much petty in
quisitiveness. An incident which occurred on
Sunday evening at the Falls, will serve to illus
trate this miserable propensity, and may serve
as a lesson to future inquirers into Jenny's pri-
vate habits.
Miss Lind's private apartments at the Clifton
open upon the balcony facing the river, by
French windows, reaching to the floor. To pre-
vent unseemly intrusions, against which expe-
rience has taught her to guard, she had sus-
pended sheet against the window, which ex-
tempore curtain, not being sufficiently long
barely reached to within a 70 OF of the ground
leaving that space open to sightseers.
An exceedingly fashionable party, from some
of the cities was staying at the Clifton, who had
by their exclusiveness and pretension, excited
great remark. Among them were a young mar
and two very pretty ladies. Late on Sunday
evening, when the balconies were apparently de-
serted, by all but them, these three exclusives
strutted towards the window of Jennys room,
and seeing no one near, paid their homage TO the
cynosure by dropping on their ha Is and knees.
and peeping under the curtain While in this
evesdropping position, gentleman, well known
in this city, passed with his wife upon his arm,
and, his good sense being shocked at the paltry
exhibition, he remarked, as if to his companion,
but loud enough for the spying fashionables to
hear; "Good Heavens, my dearl these young
ladies' must be very anxious to see the gentleman
in that ruom prepare for bed !" The tiny scream
and rapid evasion which succeeded upon this
well put rebuke cannot be written, but we are
assured that they "occassioned considerable
mirth at the time" This was an actual occur
renee, and is only one, probably, among thous-
and that have combined to disgust Miss Lind
with the adulations of impertinent people

SLAVERY AND SuFFERrEG.-The last number
of the Westminster Repie,o has an able article
upon the extension Of slavery, which, in an i'm

Poison IN CANDLEs.--To detect arsenic in
candles, take piece Of gold coin, or a gold col
lar or sleeve button, and suspend it over the fame
of candle, Zone or two inches above,) taking
care not to make the metal anything like red
hot After being thus suspended for a few
minutes, cool and rub the piece, and the sub
lined arsenic will be found deposited on the
polished surface of the gold. IL will be ANAL
gamated with il, and exhibit a white metallic
lustre like inferior silver plate.
The writer has tried the experiment on
patent sperm candles, and found the surface Of
the gold button well plated with arsenic; in so
mnch that he declines using that article again.
Any person may satisfy himself on the subject.
IL is well known that arsenic is used very ex-
tensvely in the manufacture of all, or most Of
the various sorts Of hard composition candles,
under whatever name they assume. The COM
mnnity ought TO have some protection against
this mode Of disseminating poison, Richmond

GOLD FTsHrNe IN HUNGARY.-The Gazette de
Breslau says that when Georgey retrcated from
Comore towards the Thesis, in the summer of
lS49, he took with him seventeen wagons laden
with god ore, which had been sequ tered by
the commission of national defence to prevent
their falling into the hands of the Austrians.
Upon arriving at the marshy banks Of the Thesis,
il was found difficult to convey the wagons
across without delaying the movements Of the
army, and they were thrown into the YER The
director of mines in Upper Hungary has now or
panized force of miners and engineers with the
hope of recovering the greater portion of the
treasure, seeing that the specific gravity of the
ore will most probably have prevented its being
carried away by the current The value of the
golden mineral thrown into the Thesis is esti-
mated, without exaggeration, at from three To
four hundred thousand dollars

CHRISTIAN REslGNATIoN.-Some years ago,
there lived in the interior of Connecticut an old
farmer, whose name has since been made fami-
liar to the nation by the distinction of one of his
sons, and who was famous, far and wide, for
his hard drinking and his wit. On one occasion
under the pressure of an unusually large brick,
which accidentally got into his hat at the village
inn, the old man strayed into the graveyard near
his residence, where he found the navigation
somewhat rougher than he was prepared for
The consequence was, that before he got far, he
stumbled headlong between two wel-rounded
graves, which were lying in his path, where he
found that IL was easier for man in his situa
ton to lie down than il was to get up. After
several Intellectual efforts, and leaning now upon
one of the graves, and now upon the other for
the support he required, he fell back, and throw
ing his hands out over the sods which covered
the remains of his nearest neighbors, he ex-
claimed, We'll never mind;' TsuPpose zoe shall
