On Friday last, Mr.. Giddings asked the unan-
nous consent Of the House to introduce the fol-
lowing resolution:
Resolved, That the President be requested to
inform the House (if consistent with the public
INTEREST," whether subject of the British crown
being also member of the British Parliament,
has recently been assaulted in Springfield, Mass
achusetts, and his personal security endangered
by the citizens Of that State, in violation Of our
treaty stipulations with the government of Great
Britain. Objected to.
Mr. Giddings said that he should seek an ear
" opportunity to bring this subject before the
House.
There is no doubt but that the indignities offer
ed Geo. Thompson Esq NJ. P, in Springfield
Mass. were violations OF our treaty stipulations
with Great Britain. That they were offered by
the doughfaces and minons of the Slave power
is equally obvious. Whether Great Britain peck
cts the insult from the U. S. as easily as the
North pockets them from the South, remains to
be seen.

According to a statistical comparison of 5000
cases of suicide which have occurred at Paris
during the space of "a years, it appears that pre-
meditated suicides generally take plac9 there a.
bout the break of day, or during the night; and
that unprecedented or impulsive suicide, occurs
mostly during the day time. Children. old men
and woman, for the most part, commit sncide
by hanging or sufFocation. The greatest num-
Der of suicides occurs from the age of 20 to 80
years, and from 40 to 80. The annual average
of suicides in Paris is 300.

having laws or officers, unless the officers have
pluck enough to enforce the laws He must
be man Of decision Of character. who can cav
les, or no, when there is occasion for it, and
that positively and without contingencies. As
ne IS Chief Of the Police, he must be watchful
and interested, by day and BY night AS he is
President OF the Board OF Health, he mnst be
man that won't take his bag and baggage and
lice tor the country, should the cholera happen
10 come among us-you want man who is vii.
ling to live usofulIy, and not afraid to die in the
path OF duty. As he is Overseer of the Poor, he
should be man with bowels, discreet and eco
nomicol-tho duty Of the Mayor in this respect
IS responsible and arduous, he should be- equal
to it,
The other officers Of the city ought also to be
capable and efficient if we wish to succeed and
prosper in our civil relations.
There is 10 question but that the democratic
party can furnish all these officers of the right
stamp. We hope that such will be put in NOM
lnat'on. If, however, the good sense of the COM
munity should be outraged by any nomination
not fit to be made" we hope they will resent it
by clecting better man.

RUM AND ROWEygsvy

On Sunday last, the peace and quiet of the day
was disturbed by the rioting and fighting of the
drunken
Hugh Mccormick, who is very clever fell
low, when he is Hugh, seems to be the hero in
this row. He started it seems, for some eggs
and FISH in the morning, which he obtained at
some grocery, and on his way home stopped at
the very respectable establishment kept by Pat
rick McCune, where he wished to swap his fish
and eggs for serpent, which, itsecms, be effect
ed-vcry soon the serpent bit him and left him
crazy--then fight commenced between him
and man by the name ofRafferty, in which, we
understand, Hugh got tho worst of ii, coming off
with severe cut upon his lip, which bled
enough to dye bis shirt from top to bottom
Hugh now feels enlivened and desperate, and
brandlshes sticks of wood to the great detriment
of glass and sash; in fact, he stove ont all the
windows in the front part the building. Soon
Sheriff Allen arrives and takes him to the Cour,
House basement, where the Doctor dresses his
wound, aud clean clothes cover him, and he is
left TO become himself again.
Wealways feel sorry for Hugh when he meets
any man who hates him bad enough to let him
have liquor.
