RoBBER CAUGHT ny A KIss.--A fe nights
since, after the family Of Mr.. Fitch, on Broad
way, had retired to rest, fellow, named Richard
Smith, having by some means got into the
house, entered the sleeping apartment of a
young lady, and riAed the drivers of bureau
of its contents, consisting of some thirty dollars
in mony, a'gold chain, and other articles of jew
elry Thus Ear the transaction was exceedingly
commonplace but not content with his acqus-
ton of valuabes, the impudent rascal could not
think of parting with their fair owner without
leaving her some token of his nocturnal visit.
So stepping up to the bed where she lay enfol-
ded in the arms Of Morpheus, he imprinted on
her ruby lips one parting kiss. Whether it was
the report that must necessarily have followed
one of the right sort, or something else that
awakened her, we did not learn, but ere the
sentimental scamp could beat retreat, the fair
hand Of the damsel was found gripping the skirt
of his coat, while her voice called loudly for
help. The house was soon aroused, and Mr..
Smith arrested and consigned to the calaboose,
to repent at leisure his untimely effort to do the
agreeable--N Louis, Mo- InteAigencer Maya

H-In the May No. of DE Bow's Reriew We
find the following interesting anecdote in rea-
ton to Mr.. CALHOUN, the full particulars OF
which have never before been given. The incl
dent is equally honorable 10 all parties concerned
and the deicacy with which the net was
performed is characteristic of the place and the
people From an interesting biographical sketch
of HENRY w. CONNER, We extract the follow
ing passages
A short time before Mr.. CALHoUNs death, and
about the time it was ascertaned that he was
declining, it was resolved by a number of pub
lic-spirited gentlemen, to raise by subscription
among themselves, a sum of money sufficient TO
pay off some debts, that, in his devotion to the
public interests, he had been obliged to contract
and furnish him with ample funds to travel to
Europe. The design was to demand il of him
as duty to his State, to quit Congress for
time, and go abroad. He died before they had
made up the amount, or communicated with him
upon the subject. The total sum raised was
near 100000. The venerable Judge Huger, II.
Gourdin, and NJ. Conner, were the movers in
the matter, aud acted as the trustees
In communicating their action to Mrs. Cal
houn, the committee very decately say
SIN this hope, his many friends deemed it a
privilege to do their part towards freeing his mind
as far as it was possible from every care, both Of
public and private nature, and they united in
raising quiet, and without his knowledge, n sum
Of money, not only adequate to the payment Of
his debts in this State, but sufficient also to enable
him to travel for his health, could he have been
prevailed on to do so. By liquidating his debts
without any previous int,matlon to him Of their
design, they had hoped to have reconciled their
course to his high and fas,dious Of indepen-
dence, and to have induced him to yield to their
earnest wish for his temporary, if not permanent
retirement, from the arena Of public life.
"His sudden and lamented death defeated al
their plans, and disappointed all their hopes.
But though denied the qualification OF present
ing to him this offering Of their gratitude and sfTec
ton, they still claim the privilege Of rendering
the dead the tribute Of their profound veneratior
and sincere attachment by turning to you, tn,
mother Of his children, the object of his pure, no
bic, devoted and constant affection, and the chic
mourner over the sad event, that has filled ever,
Carolina heart with sorrow, and respectfully an,
nfectionately claim that they may regard you Al
the representative of him they 80 highly revered
and that you will accept, for your own use, tn
sum which has been raised, and which is in tn
hands of the committee to be paid over to you

TEE AFRICAN Lros TRApE.--From a case re-
Gently submitted to the Court of Appeal, in Al
giers, 1t appears that there are persons who make
a regular business Of catching and dealing in
lions. One of these, NJ. Ottavi, Of Constantine
was, few days ago, condemned to pay NJ. Her
bert, the keeper of travelling menagerie in
Normandy, one thousand francs, for having put
him to the expense Of visiting Constantine, on
the promise to sell him two fine lions, though
on his arrival il turned out that he had sold the
animals TO another person, and had not been
able to replace them. In the course Of the pro-
ceeJings il was stated that lions are becoming
very scarce in Algeria, the approach Of men hav-
ing driven them to seek refuge nearer the desert.

COMMERCIAL SUMMARY.
A favorable change occurred 10 the Liverpool
cotton market on the 18th ut., there being a
considerable demand with sales Of 1000 bales,
1000 of which were for expectations. The
accounts of the state Of trade from the prcvinces
are more favorable, but business has been some

were firm upon London, with prospect If an ad-
vance.
At the corn market at Mark Lane, the up
ward tendency OF prices continued, the advance
on English grain being 81 to IS per quarter.
Flour held firmly. Floating cargoes of wheat
inquired for in consequence of the frmness of

English funds firm, but unchanged in price.
Railway shares weak. Foreign funds unaltered.

LIVERPOOL Corn MARKET, May 2O.--Ai this

more plentiful of late, were rather easier to buy
than on Friday, but still I'd per As lbs. and Sd
