That paper says:
zone boorish chap arrived in town on Satur-
day, quartered himself at the Mansion House
and dispatched the potter with letter to Mrs.
Goldschmidt, conveying the astounding intelli-
gence that If she did not Immediately send
him ten thousand dollars, he should be obliged
TO go INTO insolvency! Another equally stupid
but more modest chap informed her that his
grandmother bore the name of Jenny Lind in
whole or in part and requested 5000 or 1000

three thousand would give him good start

The following resolutions were presented:

| Almost duel took place at the Northern Ho-
tel, IN Cortandt street, few days since
Among the guests at the dinner table, was lady
| ''falr and forty," who had lately returned from
the golden shores of the Pacific, and the CONVEX
sation turning upon the late "Womans Right's''
movement, the lady took an active part in the
discussion She did not think it was woman's
only duty ''to love her lord with all her heart
and the baby as herself, and to bake good Bread"
and after diating at some length on the wrongs
OF the sex, she made various statements CON
corning the state of the question in California.
A gentleman on the opposite side of the table
questioned the correctness of some of the state
ments,-the lady reiterated her previous asser-
tlons and her opponent retorted by intimating
In plain terms that she was telling falsehoods.-

that he should give her immediate satisfaction
-"dlstance five PAGES to wheel and fire at the
word" The masculine declined the contest,
and again the feminine darted from the room.
Understanding her opponent to say that he did
not like pistols, and having the bump of accom-
mediation largely developed, she made a rapid
passage to her room, and returned with ''broad-
swords for two," and he was again invited to
trial of skill, without shield or bucker. The
gentleman cast one look to Heaven and another
at the door. A quick calculation showed him
that he might not reach the upper regions, and
SO he made forthe door, which he passed through
In time to have it closed on the avenging
sword, and the almost frantic woman that was

since, and the lady is now on her way to her

IMPORTS OLE DRY GOODS

In our statement othe receipts odry goods this port
for January noticed decline from tile corresponding
month OF the previous year. of 81 445 88 in the amount
entered at the port, and of ST. in the amount
thrown upon the market This falling OF had been an
tclpated by those who believe that foreign trade will
regulate itself without the otcious interference of Go
yernment but was opposed to the predictions of the
Secretary OF the Treasury and his high tariff organs in
this city The decline about 20 per the whole
amount and we expressed our belief that it would
be continued through the two succeeding MONTHS
This was met by the proteconists with the assertion
that the imports for January were lighter only because
three steamers then due had arrived and that the
comparative receipts for February would confirm their
theory We present today the statement for the month
just expiring in which appears that the amount rece
vedls $l's7s,796 less than i'll February 1851
Total entered at the port $7oo21ol S5l233o5
Total thrown upon market 7,o02594 59l2,2e7
Owing to the falling off in the receipts the stock in
warehouse has been essened, and the quantity thrown
upon the market is therefore only 900 297 behind
the amount for last year. The total actually arrxed at
the port however is thus shown be 81 per cent be-
low the receipts for February 1851.

GAs."-Under this caption, the South Car,

Southern Rights paper-calls attention to the
following paragraph in Mr.. Buchanan's ''admi-
rable' letter to the Richmond Committee:
You are pleased to refer in favorable term,
to my recent conduct sat home, in defence OF
the federal constitution and laws" This was
an easy and agreeable task because the people
of Pennsylvania have ever been as loyal and
faithful to the Constitution, the Union and the
rights of the sovereign States of which it is
composed, as the people of the ancient domin-

course in my native State, would, therefore,
have been to resist the strong current of enlght-

"CHEvALIER ."-Thurlow Weed,
Esq, the editor of the Albany Evening Journal
In his last letter from Genoa enlightens the pub
lie still farther as to the case of Mr.. Henry
Wycoff. 1t seems that by the laws of Sardinia,
prisoner is denied the benefit of counsel, and
kept entirely secluded until the testimony
against him has all been taken. This was a
slow process, and for three weeks Wycoff was
left quite alone to contemplate the chances of
going for ten or fifteen years to the galleys Fl
naly, Mr.. Baker, the American Consul GOT
that the American Government, whose dignity
had been insulted by his imprisonment, was
bound to see him righted, and insisted $50 saws
Mr.. Weed) upon making his case national af-
fair. Wycoff at first rejected the ordinary
means OF defence, but has since concluded to en-
ploy Counsel. His fate is still in doubt, though
an effort is making to place his defence upon
grounds that will let him off with years i'm
prisonment. He talks much of his relations and
employments as public functionary, and tells
queer things about his former connections with
the New Y ork Herald. Those, however, (adds
the writer) are not of character to be repeated,
whether true or false.
Miss Gamble, the lady whom the "Chev-
aller' endeavoured forcibly to marry, is we
learn from the New York Express, the daugh-
ter OF Colonel John G. Gamble, of Florida,
and formerly of this city, not of Philadelphia,
as stated by Mr.. Weed in his first let
ter. She was taken to London, while mere
child, by her aunt Mrs. Dunlop, the sister of
Col. Gamble, and adopted by Mr.. and Mrs. Dun
lop, they having no children. Mr.. Dunlop was
wealthy merchant, and for many years in the
Virginia trade. Miss Gamble has many con-
nexions in this city and State, as we'll as in Flo
rida.

say was communicated by 1.-The regular tee-

duel, because he fears God more than man.
The reason is honorable to him. and is probably
sincerely given. But it certainly should follow,
that man holding to these just views of duty

violation ofthem, and should not employ such

We have heard inquiries made, saws the New

We have heard inquiries made, says the New
York Times, as to the distinguished American
referred to by Mr.. Webster in his discourse be-
fore the Historical Society, as being engaged
upon history of Greece. We have no direct
knowledge upon the subject; but we think it
altogether likely that Rufus Choate-s the GEN
tleman alluded to. He is known to be one of
the ripest and most thorough Greek scholars in
the United States; and in spite of his very ex-
tensive law practice and his other multifarious
and exacting engagements, he is constant and
severe student of Greek literature and history.
We have heard it stated on good authority that
he has made, within a few years past, a new
transaction of Thucidides not with any intention
of publishing it, but as means of making him
self more familiar with the structure of that
great writer's style as well as with the spirit
and character the events narrated We hope
we are not mistaken in supposing Mr.. Webster's
remark to indicate that we may look at no dis
tant day for Grecian history from his pen.

NOTE THE BRIGHT HOURS ONLY"

NJ Z L AAttAA1
A lesson in itself sublime,
A lesson worth enshrining.
Is this: Il take no heed of time
Save when the sun is shining"
These motto-words dial bore,
And wisdom never teaches
To human hearts a better lore
Than this short sentence breaches.
As life is sometimes bright and fair,
And sometimes dark and lonely,
Let US forget its pain aud care,
And note its bright hours only.
There is no grove ON earths broad chart
But has some bird to eheerit;
So hope sings ON, in every heart,
Although we may not hearit'
And ifto-day the heavy wing
OF sorrow is expressing,
Perchance to-morrows sun VIII DrlnS
The weary heart a blessing.
For life is sometimes bright and tar,
And sometimes dark and lonely;
Then let's forget its toll and care,
And note its bright hours only.
We bid the joyous moments haste,
And then forget their glitter:
We take the cup of life, and taste
No portion but the bitter;
But we shouldteach our hearts to deem
Its sweetest drops the strongest;
And pleasant hours should ever seem
To hnger round us longest.
As life is sometimes bright and fair,
And sometimes dark and lonely,
Let us forget its toll and care,
And note its bright hours only.
Though darkest shadows Of the night,
Are Just before the morning;
Then let us wait the coming light,
All boding phantoms scorningi
And while we'er passing on the tide
OF Times fast ebbing river,
Let's pluck the blossoms by its side,
And bless the gracious giver.
As life is sometimes bright and fair,
And sometimes dark and lonely,
We should forget its pain and care,
And note its bright hours only.

Quite scene is said to have occurred in the
Rhode Island Senate on the last day of the re-
cent session. According to the Providence
journal, the Governor was converslng with the
Clerk upon some business before the Senate,
when the Lieutenant Governor, Mr.. Lawrence,
VERY recently New York politician) rose to
speak, and they continued their conversation
After few words, the Lieutenant Governor
said in a somewhat hurried and irritated man
ner, "Mr Clerk, Mr.. Clerk, Mr.. Clerk! If you
have any thing to say to His Excellency, or if
His Excellsncy hasany thing to say to you, when
you have finished, | will go on. beg you to I'M
derstand thaty ouinterrupt me. !" Gov. Allen turn
ed around, with surprise, raped upon his silver
snuff-box, took pinch of snuff, and informed the
Lieut.. Governor that the Clerk was conversing
with him at his request and upon matters before
the Senate. After some further words, which
were not distinctly understood, he added, land I
wish you distinctly to understand, sir, that am
the presiding officer ofths body" and further adj
ded that when he was speaking it was for the
other members to remain silent.

70 The Washington Telegraph states that
Henry OReilly, of Geographic celebrity, is
now earnestly engaged in promoting the pro-
ject of extending the wires to the Pacific, and
is sanguine of being able to have them in opera
ton to San Francisco within eighteen months,
provided Congress shall respond favoraby to his
memorial.
'He seeks no pecuniary aid, but simply pur-
poses to supersede the present system of forts,
at long distances, with large garrisons, by es-
tablishing stockades twenty miles apart, each of
twenty dragons. He proposes that two or
three soldiers shall ride daily each way from
each stockade, so as to transport daily express
letter mail across the continent, while at the
same time protecting and comforting emigrants
and settlers along the public domain, and thus
incidentally furnishing all the protection which
the telegraph will require. Seemingly, this is
avery ingenious and practicable mode of secu-
ring great national object, with comparatively
small expense. The distance between Missou-
II and San Francisco is alone $500 miles. The
mail service, conducted with military precision,
therefrom ought to be accomplished in from
twelve to fourteen days.
