The North British Repiew for May 1852, hn
been received and for sale by Messrs TAYLOR
t. MAuRY 1t contains seven or eight articles
on subjects Of great interest, and affords quite
relief to the mind that is nsuseated by the re

plunge.

The census OF France has been published
Tn. population has been set down at 80 78l
628, from which it appears that the increase
since 1916 has been much less than in former
proporrionale periods. The diminution ia sc-
counted for by the emigration to South America
and California, and by fewer marriages having
been contracted In tho late troublous times.

edition of the Reports Of Chancellor Wythe
The work is edited 10y Mr.. B. B Minor former
ly editor OF the Southern Literary Messenger,
| Mr. Wythe's remains now lie in st. John's
church yard, of this city, without stone or
slab to mnrk the place.
Ia the Wing is published very interesting
letter from Mr.. Clay, addressed to Mr. Minor,
| respecting Chancellor Wythe. 1t will be read
with much interest by the public, now that its
illustrious author, and former pupil of the dis
tinguished chancellor. is passing rapidly away
from the earth. Mr.. Clay, who acted as amanu-
enss to Wyihe, wrote out the reports, which
are now to re republished, with his own hand.
Mr. Clay says:
| alt is painful to reAec, that a nan so pure,
80 upright, so learned, so distinguished and he
| loved. should have net with an unnatural death.
| The event d not occur until several years after

Kentucky and of courre | am not able from
personal knowledge, to relate any of the circum-
stances which attended it. OF these, however

occurrence He had grand nephew, youth
scarcely, believe, IF mature age, to whom, by
| his last will and testament, written by me upon
his dictation, before my departure from Rich.

the greater part of his estate. That youth poi
soned him, and others-bltck members of his
household--by putt g arsenic into pot in

paper which had contained the sr,enc WIS found
on the floor of the kitchen. The coffee having
been drank by the chancellor and his servants,
The poison developed its usual effects. The
chancellor lived long enough to send frr his
neighbor, NJ jor William Daval, and got him to
write another will for him, di,nheriting the un-
grateful and guilty grand nephew, and making
/ other disposition of his estate "-RIchmond En-
