ASEcpoTE or Doc.-There is an eating
house in Fulton street, which is kept by Messrs
Johnson g. Rogers, and which is largely patron
lied. Three times day, among the other null
ttude of hungry animals is seen to enter, with
perfect self-possession and apparent ease, a fine,
stately Newfoundland dog, who is a regular
boarder lie lives in the ncighborhood, but is
fed at this establishment Whether he regu-
lates his hours by the illumined time piece of the
city hall or not, is unknown; but his puuctuaI-

until he arrives at his own premises. He is a
gentIemanly dog, and adopts the ussges of civil
lied society. There are very few dogs anywhere
that can excel him in good department and cor

lady was Miss Barnum. Nearly every person
on the wharf was by this time packed in the
narrow street in front Of the house occupied by
Miss Lind. She was repeatedly called for, as
was Mr.. Barnum. An Immense cheer went up
when old Mime. Pontalba good naturally pre-
scented herself on the balcony, when Jenny Lind
was called out, and smiled and bowed her thanks
to the laughing multitude.
! Just then small dirty looking hack drove
up to the door. No one noticed it, and many
wished it out of the way The door opened,
and lady, escorted by Il gentleman with gold
lace band around his cap, got out. Some in
quisitive individuals who began, from frequent
dlsappointments, to believe that Jenny Lind did
not exist, asked her in fit of desperation,
:" Are you Jenny Lind 7" Yes | am Jenny
Lind" said she, disappearing through the door.
The news was quickly spread, and the cheers
and calls again became yociterous.
As in duty bound, we stood in the densely
packed crowd as close to the scene of operations
as possible, watching and listening. We never
saw so many persons together who so much bore
the appearance of being all engaged in carrying
out an excellent joke. The greatest good humor
prevailed, and the people seemed more bent on
getting some fun out of the thing than to have
any other more serious purpose. Each man was
astonshed to see his neighbor there, and one
half the crowd appeared to wonder what the
| other half came to see and do.
Suddenly Jenny Lind played the crowd an
other trick, and came hastily out on the second
story balcony, where few could see her She
waved her handkerchief energetically at the
| shouting multitude for moment. aud then dis
appeared as quickly as she came The ladies'
were ppointed-threerfour Of the lockers
on were di-appointed and it was amidst n gen

dispersed. 90

What Makes the Man /,

The celebrated Goethe thus defines the chief
quality that makes two-legged biped, a man:
The longer live, the more certain am that
the great difference between men, and the great
and insignificant, is energy-invincbe detcrmi-
nation--an honest purpose once fixed, and then
death or victory. The quality will do anything
in the world; and no talents, no circumstances
no opportunity, will make two-Iegged creature
"a man without it.

The examination Of Elizur Wright was pro-
ceeded with before Commissioner HaIle,t Wright
is charged with abettng in the escape Of Shadrack
Wilkins. At the opening, Lunt moved that the
proclamation Of the President, relative to the riot,
be read by the United States marshal. Sewel
objected on the ground of its being only tele-
graph despatch, which was no proof whatever, Of
its authenticity. Commissioner Hallett ex-
pressed nstonishment that any citizen should ridi-
Guile a proclamation from the Chief Magistrate Of
the United States, in favor of maintaining its
laws. He then ordered the reading Of the docu-
ment, which was done. The examination then
continued

and on being denied admttance into the court
house, they ridiculed the officers, but did no vio-
lence, large police force being about the court

The Albany (Ga.) Patriot thus refers to the
recent correspondence between Governor Means
and the British consul

STATE CONNECTION wITH FOREIGN GOVERN
MsSrs.-The recent correspondence between the
Governor of South Carolina and the British con.
sui for Charleston, on the subject of State laws
for the Imprisonment Of colored seamen, has
created quite an excitement among the Northern
newspapers
They treat the subject with great seriousness,
and virtually charge the British government
with an insult to the Union, and South Carolina
with q violation of her federal relations, which
are little short of treason. These half hedged
politicians suppose that the United States gov
eminent will demand an explanation of the
British government require an immediate with
drawa OF the communications, n cessation of
intercourse, and finally, that the United States
government will assume the authority and com
pei South Carolina--if she thinks proper-to
admit British negro seamen into her ports with
out molestation.
The great question involved in this discussion
is,-can the several States hold intercourse as
sovereigns, with other sovereign and foreign
powers
The answer is too plain tn require discussion
so far as the States themselves are sovereign,
or in respect to all powers which they have not
delegated to the federal government in the Con
stitution, so FAR, and as respects such reserved
or undelegated powers, they may hold commu-
mention as soveregns with any power on earth,
or do such other things as to the sovereign will
Of the State may seem best. In regard to the
particular case under consideration, the federal
government has no power to exercise any con-
troll over South Caroin---she may exclude free
negroes or any other class Of men which she
may deem to be dangerous to her institutions.
