Whereas the best interests of the coun-

judice to the public service, from the EXceu-
tive to the people; and whereas the appoint
ment of more than twenty thousand deputy
postmasters constitutes the largest branch OF
that vast patronage: Be it therefore
"Resolred, That the committee on the
Judiciary be instructed to report, within
thirty days. an amendment to the Constitu,
tion, by which Congress shall be empowered
to provide, as far as practicable, for the
election of deputy postmasters by the quail
fled voters in the respective localities III
which post Offices are situated: Prorided
That If, in the opinion of said committee
Congress has already such constitutions!
power, said committee shall, instead Of said
amendment, report, within the time afore-
said, bill to effect aforesaid object"

GREAT ARTIFICIAL HARBoR.--The British
government are constructing at Dover an arti6-
cial harbor for the safety of shipping. 1t is to
consist of a space of seven hundred acres, it is
to be enclosed by a wall more than two miles
in length more than half of which space will
secure a depth Of water from 80 to AZ feet at
the lowest tide. The wall will be 95 feet wide
at the bottom, and fifty at top; the sides will
be Is feet thick, and consist of immense blocks
of solid stone, the middle is filled with artificial
stone or concrete. The foundation of this stu
penduous work is now laying by companies of
men who remain several hours, with diving
bells, under water. The gigantic display of
human power and skill will, when fully compile.
ted, cost more than two millions sterling.

A ROMANTIC SUIcIDE-A man named Pat
rick Bartlett recently committed suicide in Pike
county, Ala, by hanging himself soon after bis
marriage. The Troy Palladium says:
He had been in love with young lady, but
was prevented, by some means, from marrying
her, and welded another. Soon after his mar
riage, he carried his wife to see his parents,
and there met the young lady, his former love,
to whom he appeared to have been devotedly
attached. Their feelings upon meeting over
come their sense of propriety, and they rushed
into each Others arms, embraced, and were mel
ted to tears. This seems to have revived, in a
ten fold degree, his love for her-and after car
rying his wife back to her parents, said that he
would go to Troy and mail letter, which he
had written-but it appears he came to the de-
termination on the way to destroy himself,
which he did, in the manner above described.
