freedom 10 the memory of Chatham, for
having been just to America, by opposing
the stamp act, which awoke your nation to
resistance.
Now, the people of England think, as
once Pitt, the elder thought, and honors
with deep reverence the memory of your
Washington.
But suppose the England of Lord Chat

Stars had moi yet risen on msnkInd's sky

Let me hope, cir. tina. Hungsry's unmer-

where your Washington stood, a second

of his life. The wills which now listen to
my humble words, listened to the words of
his republican virtue, immortal by their very

PRESENTATION OF THE IRISH DEPUTA-
TONS TO PRESIDENT FILLMORE. - The
large depulalion Of Irish citizens, from Bal
tmore, which proceeded to Washington city,
on Thursday, to present to The President
the numerously signed petition, asking his
kindly offices in behalf of Smith OBfIen,
Meagher, Mitchell, and their companions in
exile, was received in the East Room. Dr.
Chaisly, of Baltimore, and Mr.. niece oil
Boston each addressed the President. TO
whom he replied, stating that deeply as he
sympalhised with the exiles, there could be
no official interference on the part Of our
Government.
He referred to the case Of Washington
and Lafay cite, between whom there was a
great love and attachment, of course but
when the latter was imprisoned in foreign
country, Washington laid down the princi-
pie Of no official Interference. The Presl-
dent said that he would consult the Cabinet,
and whatever could be done unofficial y
would be done.
The addresses were very handsome, but
brief, and were received with lrequen, de-
monstrations Of applause, which were. how
ever, suppressed by the marshals. Blu, on
the front porlico three hearty cheers were
given for the President.

NEARLY FRozE TO DEArH.-Capt. SHINES, who
lives at Pope's Creek Landing, in this county, and
a negro man, attempted on Monday of last week
to cross the Potomac river in an open boat. They
had rowed about half way, when their boat be-
came fastened in the drifting ice, and in this peril
Gus situation they remained until Tuesday evening
having been exposed Sc hours to the coldes
weather we have had this winter! The only mean:
they had of keeping themselves from freezing tc
death, was small oven, in which they kept lit
tie fire by breaking off such portions of their boat
as could be spared. They got ashore at Swan
Point, by crawling upon the ice, after having
passed hours of intense suffering waiting for the
ice to freeze sufficiently strong to bear them
Both Of them are badly frost bitten,

stance of no little ingenuity on the part Of
some emigraut. Immediately alongside of
the road was what purported to be grave,
prepared with more than usual care, hav-
ing headboard on which was painted the
name and age Of the deceased, the time of
his death, and the part OF the country from
which he came. | afterwards ascertained
that this was only ruse' to conceal the
fact that the grave, instead Of containing
the mortal remains of human being, had
been made safe receptacle for divers
casks of brandy, which the owner could
carry no further. He afterwards sold his
liquors to some traders further on, who, by
his description of its locality found it with
out difficulty"

HUMAN FAT, CANDLES AND SoAP.-When
the cemetery of the Innocents, of Paris,
was removed outside 9th barriers, the
buried corpses, which had accumulated to
the depth Of sixty feet, were found to
great extent apparently converted into fat.
The substance of the skin, cellular tissue
and tendons, all the soft part and even the
bones, had completely disappeared, leaving
only the fat which, resisting longest the
influence of decay (oxygen) remained in
the form of margaric acid. This human fat
was employed, to the extent of many tons,
by the soap boilers and tallow chambers of
Paris for the manufacture Of soap and can
dies. The French are people of the fin
est sentiment and they certainly carried
the quality to charming point Of reflection
in receiving light from candles made out Of
the bodies of their fathers.
