HEAVY FoRGERY.-We learn from the New
York Tribune that calling himself John
Brain, an Englishman, arrested on Saturday,
for passing to Messrs. A. Lester & Co., merchants
ofNew York, for goods sold but not delivered,
certificate for "a shares of stock Of the Boston and
Worcester Railroad Co., amounting to So, 400 ;also,
sealed package, which he stated to contain lO4
shares of Boston and Maine Railroad, and other
stocks, the value of which was about $40, 1000. -
Messrs Lester &. Co.. suspecting the character of
the stock, sent copy Of the certificate (whout the
knowledge of Brain) Immediately upon its being pre-
scented to them, to the President of the Boston and
Worcester Railroad Co., asking if it was genuine.
the President, deeming the matter of sufficient
Importance to require prompt investigation, went to
N. York Immediately, Messrs. Lester & Co., de-
tanned Brain until the arrival of the President, who
upon seeing the certificate, pronounced it forgery
The sealed package was then opened, and found to
contain only cancelled checks, on a large London
Banking House. Brain represented himself as hav.
ing extensive business connections and as being in
partnership, with persons of great wealth. He was
committed for further examination.

LAMARTINE ON THE CoUP D'ETAT-In the
Pays, Lamartine's paper, the following remarks are
found the cause of the present state of affairs in
France:
At present we raise our voices neither to approve
nor TO protest. We feel that all discussion is impos-
sible, not only because the government would not
permit il, but because own conscience would
prevent US. What we every day asked for was that
France should be saved from the crisis which await
ed her in 1852. The Assembly chung with obstinacy
to the law of May 81, aud that body has ceased to
exist. The Assembly persisted precisely from two
causes, the disastrous effects of which we had in
vain attempted to parayse; the law of Nav 81 des-
troyed the majority, and socialism destroyed the
minority. Between the law of May 81 and socialism
there were the republic and universal suffrage, and
It is precisely these two words which we're invoked
by Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, TO dissolve the As.
sembly, and thus to DESTROY the constitution We
were marching forward TO caasrophes amid these
two currents OF passions, ambitions, rancors and
hareds, the believing of which scarcely permitted
some 'hie y, = - T -,
lssa' seen 4 Heard, II the law OF May 81 had been
repealed, il The revision of the constitution had been
accepted by the minority, if all parties had consented
to do what Louis Napoleon Bonaparte had just done
himself that is, to allow the people TO decde-we
are convinced that what has happened would never
have occurred. We accuse no one; for were we to
commence, should be obliged, perhaps, to accuse
every one The present situation is not our work.
We have not desired it, but take il as it is and
with the desire, as public men, to fulfil all the duties
which It imposes. The assembly is dissolved, and
the constitution has disappeared. But their remain
two great things the republic and universal suffrage
There remains, also, what desire to preserve and
defend above all things, namely-FIance.

French women.

The Paris correspondent of the Charles
ton Evening News. writes =
Ladies dine publicly at the restaurants
this may be seen at almost any OF the more
fashionable ones. Sometimes it is not even
necessary to go inside these establishments
to see the fair sex, tor every pleasant day
they may be seen seated in front OF the
doors in the open street, engaged in the
delectable occupation Of slipping coffee
wine, and frequently something stronger
than either. / should not like to assert
that this was very aristocratic custom,
but have nevertheless seen many fashion
able dresses both inside of the coffee houses
and outside, and understand that many
ladies of respectabillty are in the habit OF
visiting them, but always attended by hus-
band, brother or father; no other relative
is allowed here to accompany lady singly
anywhere, day or night, so that an unmar-
ried lady having no domestic occupation is
not able to amuse herself by going to a
concert or an afternoon walk with "my
cousin" These are restrictions which our
barbarous state of morality has not yet found
it necessary to adopt, and nothing better
indicates the relative degree of female vlr-
Tue and modesty in the two countries.

The randolph Negroes.

A writer in the Baltimore Patriot, who is
travelling in Ohio, gives this account ofthe
Randolph negroes, who, it will be remem-
bered, were driven from their homes which
had been procured for them by the whites:
"Troy, about twenty miles from Dayton,
is small and rather dilapidated town be-
between this place and Piqua. Along the
canal are majority of the Randolph ne
groes. 1t was in the adjoining county of
Mercer, that the large tract of land was pur-
chased for their settlement. from which
they were forcibly elected by the white in
habitants. The condition of these poor
creatures is bad commentary on the MIS-
cradle policy of emancipating negroes, and
allowing them to remain in this country
The majority of these once valuable SER
wants, are now worthless beasts upon the
community among whom they are located,
and often want for the common riecessaries
of life. heard several express an ardent
wish to return to the shores Of Roanoke a.
gain, where they had plenty, and did not
know what it was to suffer for want"

The Chances ofLife.

Among the interesting facts developed by
the recent census, are some in relation 10
the laws that govern life and death. They
are based upon returns from the State of
Maryland, and comparison with previous
ones. The calculation it Is unnecessary to
explain, but the result is table from which
we gather the following illustrations -

year, the system seems to acquire more
strength, and the number of deaths rapidly

klGlcl HAYS ~

A good anecdote is told of the veteran
policeman, when he was crier of the Court
of Sessions. The room was usually warm,
and he was very apt in the afternoon &C
drop away in doza. On one occasion,
while the Recorder was charging a jury,
the old man snored, quite audlbly' An Of
fcer immedlatcly y whispered in his ear
"Uncle Jacob, some one is snoring, and
disturbing The court.'
Up jumped Hays, and with his stentori-
an lungs cried out
"Silence there must be no snoring in
court % And turning to the Recorder he
said "You can 60 on now without inter-
ruption."
The story is sometimes told of him, that
being awakened one day by peal OF thun-
der, he cried out Silence !!

Suffering i'm London.

Upon an average person out of 20 OF
the inhabitants of this luxurious metropolis
is every day destitute of food and employ
ment, and every night without place for
shelter or repose. 1t is amentable fact
that in this very town of London alone, the
centre and core of British civilization, 1O0,-
600 persons are every day without food,
save it be the precarious produce of a pas
sing job or crime. 1t is stated IN the
Register Generals annual report OF lS49,
"that nearly one human being died weekly
in this wealthy metropolls,from actual star
vation." In the correspondent report ol
1851 we find that % adults died from star.
vation, and 252 infants from want of breast
milk or want of food. In the month of De-
cember, 1851, fre adults died from starva'
ton, and % infants from inanltion.
