An EXCITING SCENE.-The Providence Mir
ror gives the following account of a thrilling
scene which occurred in the Court room in that
city, on Wednesday last Ann Sullivan was
brought before the Court for trial fo- an alleged
assault on the 9Th of November last upon
Charles + Rhodes, with intent to kill. Ann has,
since the commission OF the act, alleged that
Rhodes had seduced and abandoned her, which
acts led to the assa alt. Since her confinement
in Jail she has shown unmistakable signs of in
sanity upon the point of her seduction.
At 20 minutes past 10 o'clock she entered the
Court room in charge of the Jailor, and attend
by Mrs. Aplin, one of the benevolent ladies who
have charge of the institution for the pro-
lection of friendless females, and took seat in
front of the Court and Jury. The case of he
State vs. Ann Sullivan was then called by the
clerk, when the Attorney General called the
name of Charles F. Rhodes, who stepped for
ward near the Attorney Generals Table. The
moment he came in sight of Ann, she uttered
most wild and frantic scream, swearing at the
same time that all she wanted was to kill the
abandoned wretch who had betrayed and seduc-
ed her-at this moment she became frenziod that
it was with diific uy that she could be restrain
cd.
II was most heart-rendered scene, and not
few present were seen to shed tears her wild
and frantic conduct was only restrained when
Rhodes was removed to more distant part of
the Court House, and out of her sight The
Court and Counsels for the different parties held
a consultation which resulted in the discharge of
the witness, and the continuance of the indict-
mcnt. In the meantime the unfortunate girl
was put under the care of DIR. Ray the superin-
tending Physician of the Butler Insane Hospital,
and thus ended one of the most exciting scenes
which it has been our fortune to witness for
long time, and one which we never desire to be-
hold again.

Who ARE Youn ARIsrocRArs.-Twentyy years
ago this one. butchcred. that one made candles;
another sold cheese and butter; fourth carried on
a distillery; another was contractor on canals !;
others were merchants and mechanics. They
are acquainted with both ends Of society-as their
children will be after them, though it will not do
to say 30 out loud. For often you shall find that
these toiling worms hatch butterflies and they live
about year.
Death brings division OF property; and it brings
new financicrs; the old agent is discharged; the
young gentleman takes his revenues, and begins
to travcl-towards poverty, which ho reaches be-
fore death or his children do, il he do not. So
that in fact though there ia sort Of moncycd rank,

men UP score Of years will bring them all down,
and send their children again TO labor. The father
grubs, and grows rich; his children strut, and use
the money their children inherit the pride, and
go to sbiftless poverty; their children, renvigo-
rated by fresh plebcian blood, and by the smell Of
the clod, come up again. Thus society, like tree,
draws its sap from the earth changes it into leaves

AN ENoLIsHMAN's OPINIoN OF STATE OF
POPULAR EDUCATION IN THE UNITED SrATEs.-Mr.
Golden, who is always happy in illustration was,
on this subject, particularly instructive at the
Leeds Mechanics Institute meeting, few weeks
since. "You have heard" he said, something
about the state of education in America The thing
which struck me most, in travelling through the
of the people there above the condition Of the same
class of people in this country. [Hear, hear /
say, if aman visits the United States, and travels
through that country If he leaves this land thinking
himsefa Dcmoc rat but 10 in reality thing else,
he will come back from the United States a real,
thorough Tory. He will find his preudices and
suscepibilities shocked by the rubbing of his ell
bows against the really mechanic class Of that
country, in the steamboat, the railway carriage,
a mere kid glove Democrat, and have real sym
pathy with the mass of the people, he will come back
what he was in reality when he set outa real aris-
tocrat. Hear, hear But If he goes there desi-
rous really to ascertain whether the people there
elevated above the working classes OF all other
places in the world, he will como back delighted
with the social state Of America. Applause. |
What struck me most Of all was, that did not find
in the Now England States of America any class
corresponding with the masses of the working
classes in our agricultural aud manufacturing
towns. Really they are raised infinitely above US;
indeed, have hesitation in saying that the mass
OF the people, whether employed in the workshop
or upon the land, in the States of New England.
are as much elevated by their education, and the
largencss and clearness Of their ideas, above the
same class in England, as that class in England
are raised above the same class in Austria proper"
No doubt much Of this is owing to the democratic
institutions of America; but much is also owing to
the habit of reading, which cheap newspapers have
introduced.
