house the night previous.
Objection being made, Mr. Fendall said the OBJ
Jcct OF the examination was TO show an act OF rea
soning on the part of the prisoner on the night OF
the murder. On that night it had been proved the
prisoner asked to be taken before Mr.. Lenox. The
object now was to prove circumstance which had
occurred previously, and which would induce
sensible man to desire to be taken before Mr.
Lenox.
After argument. the Court ruled the testimony
inadrnissbe.
Mr.. Lenor.-His conversation on that day was
not OF suihcent extent to be considered as test OF
insanity. Ills conversation wns perfectly sane and
rational. His manner calm and proper.

the hundreds OF others whom may have had con-

The substance of what took place was follows:
He mentioned TO me that he was Mr.. Day, who had
been before me at the watch house the night pre-
vious. asked him If he had been before the chief
of police He said | told him he ought 10

ON SEEING AuDuBoNs BIRDS OF AME lCA,

aPainting is silent music" so said one
Whose prose is sweetest painting. Audubon!
Thou Raphael of great Natures woods and seas
Thy living forms and hues, thy plants, thy trees
Bring deathlesS music from the houseess waste
The Immortality of truth and taste
Thou givest bright accents 10 the volceless sod;
And all Thy pictures are mute h mus TO God.
Why hast thou power to bear the untravelid soul
Through farthest vi DIS, DER oceans stormy roll ;
And, to the prisoner Of disease, BRING home
The homeless birds of oceans roaring foam;
But that Thy skill might bid the desert sing
The sun-bright plumage of the Amighiy's wing
With his own hues thy splendid Tyre is strung;
For genius speaks the universal tongue.
IsCome," cries the bigo,, black with pride and
& Come and hear me-the Word OF God IS mine.
@But l." saith He, who paves.w with suns his car,
And makes The storm his coursers from aiar,
And, with a glance Of his all-dazzling eye.
Smites into crashing fire the boundpss sky
81 syeak in this swift spa-bird's spt akingeyfs,
These passion-shivpr'd plumes, these lucid dyes
This beauty is my language! in this breeze
whisper lpye 10 forests and The seas;
81 sneak in this lone fower-this dew-dr"p cold
That hornets sling-yon scrpent's neck Of gold ;
These are my accents. Hear them! aid behold
How well my prophet-spoken truth agrees
With the dread truth and mystery of these
Sad, heauiles, grand. love-warbed mysteries!'
Yes. Audubon. and men shall tead in thee
His language, wIten for eternity;
And if, immorialin IFS thoughts the soul
; hall live in heaven. and spur ir lol.bs control.
Angels shall ranscrbr. with pens Of fire,
Thy forms Of Natures terror, love, and ir'.,
Thy COPIED words of G,d--when deatb-struck
SUNS expire.

President Louis Napoleon has discontinued
his official soirees, and the summer migration of

the coolness of the weather. We can scarcely
recognise the season, when fires are necessary
or comfortable morning and night. This capital
is all the gayer, and has never seen larger
influx Of strangers or pocketed more foreign
money. Gold pieces of twenty franks are now

eB The Philadelphia North American re-
proaches us for saying that Governor JOHNSTON
vetoed the bill repeating the law prohibiting the
use of Pennsylvania jais for the detention of
fugitive slaves. The North American says he
only abstained from signing it, and hence it
failed to become law. Well, the pocket veto
is as much of a veto, nay more, than any other
For any other may be defeated by two-thirds
vote, but that cannot.
The North American publishes the defence
of Governor JOHNSTON in his speech. He says
that the law which that bill undertook to repeal,
had been in force four years, and the last legis-
lature only wanted to repeal it at the close of
tho session. Well if the legislature was dila-
tory, it is reason why the governor should be
prompt And the discussion of the subject had
Pervaded the whole country for a long time, 30
there was no reasonable pretence of being taken
