BEM's GALLANTRY TO THE FAIR SEx.--Bem,
although shy and reserved, was the most gallant
Of men in his Difference to females. Lady Ho-
ratio Weston, the wife of an Engshman in the
Austrian service, had been placed by her hus
band for safety, in the fortress of Harrisburg, and
on the retreat of the Austrian troops ircu
Krostadt of course had followed the army while
she was left behind.
At Captain Westons request, Nj. Colqnhoun
our consul-general at Bucharest, sent his ser
want with letter, to Al BEN to let him enter
Harrisburg, and bring lady Horatio away.
Benz not only complied, but sent up his own
carriage, paid her every attention in his power,
and appointed an officer of hus ars, Baron Isoi-
ka, to sec her safely to the frontier.
To the widow of The Austrian Maj. St Quen-
tin, who was in Klausenburg, Bem not only gave
passports to enable her to leave the country,
but requested her to make use of his purse to
any extent she might wish
TO the widow of Count Mices his letter Of
coincidence was a most beautiful and touching
proof of his kindness of heart and decacy Of
fee ling.
Nor did such qualities, united to his heroic
courage, and crowned with the halo of success
(Which we fear has always something to do with
the mattcr) fail to win him the hearts of the
ladies of Transylvania. After the taking Of
HermaBstadt, they presented him with beauti-
ful Turkish sabre, formerly won by Prince
Ratchotzky, worked splendid housings for his
steed, and overwhelmed him with fetes and
speeches. At the same time they presented to
Baron Kemeny richly ornamented buzogany,
or antique staff of command, which had been
once used by his ancestor Prince Remeny, and
bore his name on the handle, with the date l640.

GENERAL ScoTr's OPINION OF AMIN Bly,
The Toledo Blade tells the following character
istic anecdote
When the Turkish ambassador was introduced
to General Scott, his interpreter said
"Ths is General Scott, the hero of Lundy's
Lane-and the officer that whipped the Mex
cans, and'--
"Stop, stop" rerlied Amin l'ey, arres'ine
the interpreter in the midst Of his speech. and
he made some remarks to the interpreter in the
Turkish language, which that individual thus
rendered to the General,
lie stopped me, General, to say that he
knew you--that you are the greatest General
in the world"
After moments pause, the General turned
to friend standing by, and in the tlandesi
manner observed: " He is a very intelligent
gentleman"

court, the jury in the case of Sloat VS.. Spring
ct al, returned verdict that VIM. Woodwork
was the inventor of the planning machine in
lS28-that the re-issuing of the patent in l845
chine used by the defendants is an Infringement
of the amended patent. The question had been
tried in every circuit court in the Union, and
had been decided in each, that Woodwork was
the inventor. Judge Grier hoped to hear no

sy- The Richmond WING, and some other

sB Inc hlehmond wing, and some other
discoveries of mares nests. have been agitated
and aggravated Mt story of their own manufac-
ture, that Sir HESRy BULwER, the British min
lister, had gone to South Carolina TO negotiate
treaty of alliance with her
1t turns out that instead of doing that, he has
been engaged in conspiracy, or compromise,
with a set of jovml Seotchmen in New York, to
appropriate and divide the fish, fiesh fowl fruits,
pastries, and wines Of that luxurious city.
1t is evident that Sir HENRY, instead of form
ing an alliance with South Carolina, is aiming
to strengthen the British empire by union with
the North, well knowing that Southern con-
federacy, controlling the cotton crops and the
mouth of the Mississippi, would regulate the
number of shirts and loaves of bread that John
Bull consumes. Sir HENRY has therefore gone
to New York to see how far old England can
rely on the Northern States for supplies and he
has very naturally tested the quality of her pro-
ductions at grand dinner.
We hope neither Great Britain nor the North
will be alarmed The South will permit bo th
of them to live. She wants Great Britain to do
her finer manufactures, and the North the
coarser. She will want to use them both, and
will treat both of them wel---if they behave
themselves.

THE EMIGRATION TO THE UNITED STATES.
II the beginning Of the last elk, (says a
Dublin letter of the 9Th inst.,) so great was the
influx Of emigran,s at this port, that of the
agent houses advanced the fares for passages
to New York and New Orleans; but on Friday
the former rates were restored. Every day the
quays are crowded by farmers, small traders,
and their families, securing passages across the
Atlantic. Generally they appear to be people
in comfortable circumstances, presenting no
trace whatever of poverty or the effects of fam
inc, and there are amongst them many healthy,
cheerful looking young men and women, appa-
rently rejoicing at the prospect opened OF leaving
their native country for America. One OF the
principal agents Informed me, on Friday last
that the emigrants of this year are persons of a
superior clAs to those who left in previous
years, and that there are few of poor or very
needy class amongst them. The humblcst class
of the emigrants proceed by steamers to Liver
pool where they take shipping for some Ameri-
can port AS an evidence Of the great extent of
emigration from Ulster, as well as the other
provinces, the Do,rnpdtrick Recorder mentions
that no less than fifty persons left that vicinity
on Thursday last for Belfast, on their way to
America. Emigration has recommended from
several of the poor-lahor unions, at the expense
of the rate-payers and arrangements are ~ pro-
gress for sending out an additional number of
young women from the work houses, by gov
crnment ypssels to Australia.

THE CENSUS OF lS50.-There has
as yet, been no official repot Of the
census OF 1850, of the several States
but complete re,urns,it is understood
have been received at the Census
Burean, in Washington. The Re.
public publishes a table prepared al
the Bureau, which, it is believed, is
correct. Sufficiently so, it is pre-.
sumed, TO enable il to be decided how
many representatives each State will
have in Congress, under the appor-
tionment provided by the bill which
passed the last Congress. This table
in the Republic makes total Popula-
ton in the States of 1927 ,OS5 free
and 3,l73,90 slaves; s;-in the terri
tories and the District of Columbia
I60, ,S24 free and 1857 slaves. This
gives a population in the States, the
District and the territories Of 90
0S7, 500 free and 3.l79,5S9 slaves,
making total of 23,267 ,498.
The representation or federal pop
ulation, as shown by this statement,
according 20 the provision OF the
Constitution, is 2I,S32,625, which
makes the ratio OF representation
93.7O2. This will give2lS members
of Congress among the States, and
allow Is to be divided among the
States having the largest fractional
excess.-BdIt. Patriot. rr

With low rising shrubs, and rich Low ely fow-

For here we each felt the high sense Of duty,
To lead US to Thee, and to love Thy good

Then thy blessed influence % let it be with

How TO CURE YOUR CoRNs.-
Chambers Journal says that you can
relieve and finally cure corns by
pairing them some, and applying with
the finger, sweet oil, which should
be done on getting up in the morning,

night. Corn doctors are considered
great humbugs, as they frequently
make them more irritable.

FROM NICARAGUA The New York Herald
states on the authority of private adyce. that the
British Government has at length recalled Mr..
Chatfeld, its agent in Central America. |. ais o
learns there is reason to believe that the corps of
engineers in the employ of the company for build
ing great ship canal the Isthmus, have
made four distinct surveys of four distinct routes,
and that the one which has been determined upon
affords every facility for constructing canal, such
as is proposed, at far less cost than it was orgi-
'naily expected the work would occasion In a
short time the labor Of digging will be begun.
The terminus of the line viii not be- as at first
intended, at Realjo. The same company are
opening communication between the two oceans
via the San Juan river and lake Nicaragua, for
the transportation of passengers. An engineer
has been sent to remove the rocks in the river by
blasting, and it is said that the rapids may be over
come by steamboat running at the rate of twelve
miles an hour. Steamers are prepared to be placed
on the river and lake, and the company expected
to be ready in sixty days to contract for the con-
veyance Of passengers from New York to San
