HENRY S. GEYER-The ST. Louis In
,elligencer speaks Of Mr.. Geyer. the
Wing Senator who has Just been elect
ed 10y the Legislature Of Missouri. in the
following complimentary terms. He is a
lawyer residing in St. Louis, of the first
abilities:
ability Of the highest order-attain-
ments rarely surpassed-that individual
knowledge of men, their motives and
actions, acquired in the large and sue
cessful practice for many years Of that
profession which is the best school for
public meu--an ample and through
knowledge of the political history, condi-
ton, and wants of the country-a patri
otism earnest and wide as the whole
Union-a character unblemished and
pure; surely these constitute some title to
the public favor, some fitness for public
trusts. All of these requisites, we can
assert without fear of contradiction, are
to be found in the candidate presented by
the Wings"

AS UsUAL.-Mr. Clay signed the pledge
against lending his support to any oppo-

wished to- reopen Them as issues. Mr..
Cass refused to sign that pledge, saying
that his sentiments were before the peo-
Pile, and it was unnecessary for him. So
were Mr.. Clay's sentiments, but he has
no hesitation in signing the pledge. He
looked to his country Gen. Cass (who
has not lacked patrlotism) looked to his
party. A very great man could afford to
do what moderately great one could not.

credit upon the patriotic originaters oi

tract between northern and southern

depends the fate of the Union, and tina,
no attempt to interfere with any portion

ENGLAND AND CANADA NeU En-
terprtse.-A book of $50 pages has been
published in London, with plates and a
map of North America down to the 10th
degree of north latitude, detailing the
plan of railroad across Nova Scotia and
the Canadas from Halifax to the Pacific.
The idea is magnificent The route
from Halifax to Quebec is already sur
veyed. The distance from England to
China by this proposed road is shown to
be fifteen hundred miles shorter than the
nearest route across the United States.
The cost of the road is estimated at G14.-
100000, averaging $4,000 mile. To
build it 10000 convicts are to he set a.:
work at once, paupers are to be sent over
and Canada is to be raised TO great Dig
nifty in the United Kingdom. Five mil
lions of people can be spared from Eng
land, Ireland, and Scotland. to settle
along the route and populate it to the
Pacific. The scheme is to relieve Great
Britain of her pauper burdens. regene-
rate the old monarchy, aud establish her
firmly on the American continent. JON

SINGULAR PUNIsHMENT.-A Mr.. Lytou
has lately made communication to the
Asiatc Society of London, descriptive ol
mode of punishment peculiar to the
criminal code of China:
A Chinese merchant, named Hiam-ly,
accused and convicted Of having killed
his wife, was sentenced to die by the to-
tai deprivation of sleep. The execution
took place at Annoy in the month of June
last. The condemned was placed in
prison under the surveillance of three
guardians who relieved each other every
alternate hour, and who prevented him
from taking any sleep, night or day. He
lived thus for thirteen days, without hav-
ing slept for single minute. AT the
commencement of the eighth day his
sufferings were so great that he begged
as favor, that they would kill him
by strangulation.
