gi Ira Mayhem, Esq, correspondent OF
the Monroe (Mich) Commercial, writing from
this city under date of Sept. 9th thps discourses
of Dubuque
"Wbat the city of Detroit is to the State of
Michigan, Milwaukee to Wisconsin, is the city
Of Dubuque to the State o! iowa. This city
and Milwaukee are each situated on the navi-
gable waters that constitute the eastern boun
Diary ofthe States in which they resp 'ctvely
located. Dubuque is situated on the east side
Of the Sta,e, on the western shore Of the great
Father of Waters, about half degree north of
Monroe, or Chicago. The bottom lands Of the
Mississippi at this point are considerably eleva.
ted. and efficiently extensive 20 constitute an
ample site for large city. Still, the CITY plat in
cludes range of high bluffs, from which very
fine views may be had, both of the city, and of
the river for miles above and below. Some of
these bluffs are already improved, and occupied
by splendid private residences, and others are in
progress.
The following passage in regard to the NAPLES
House is very well and justly said:
This house is kept by mine host Messrs liar
yey & Brother, formerly Of Monroe, and more
recently ofthe Railroad Eating House, at White
Pigeon. 1t affords me great pleasure to inform
the readers of the Commercial, and their nu
merous friends through Southern Michigan
that they here fully maintain the well earned
reputation which they there so reilly deserve
ed, and which was universally accredited to
them. /. is now six weeks since 1 lett Chit

through Illinois and Wisconsin, | have no.
where found so well kept house as this
The NAPLES House Of Dubuque, kept by
Messrs Harvey and Brother, deservedly ranks
among the first class hotels IF the eastern cities.
The interests Of the Mich. Sou and N !. R.R
would evidently be promoted by oiirrng in
ducernents to return to their former post al
White Pigeon. They, at an early period es-
tabli-hed for it the reputation of being unsur.
passed, if ROT unequalled, by any r. R. Eating
House in the United States. And now, with
their larger experience. they could not fail to
Te-esiabsh for it, adopt the expressive phra:
seology of western advertisers-the reputation
of being an IA, NJ. |" establishment.

the wagon in tim, the unfortunate young man
supposed that all was right, and proceeded to
descend the hill without making a halt.-The
heavily loaded wagon soon gained velocity
that rendered il impossible for the mules 10 hold

under the wheels, one OF which passed diagnn-

lungs into most shocking manner. Although
thus MORALLY injured, soon as the wagon had

The CONVICTION OF KIssANE THE FoRG Err
We have before noticed the second convic.
ton Of Kissane, Of Cincinnati for forgery con
nected with the Martha Washington affair
The scene in Court upon the rendition Of the
verdict is thus described by the Cincinnati
Times.
The Courtroom was dimly lighted, the night
without was dark and stormy, as if in unison
rought in to hear the decision of those twelve
men upon whom his future destiny hung, and
with whom his every worldly expectation res
ted.
Kissane looked full of hope, as he stood up
before those jurymen, and gazed 6xedly at
them, as if he " ould read their sentence as it
was uttered The awful word "guil,y" fell
upon his ear, as much upon his soul, which
seemed to shrivel before that fearful sound. Ev-
cry ray of hope died in his countenance; he
started aud gazed wildly AROUND as if to seek
for protection, and sunk overp,wered beneath
the unanticipatsd blow. He grasped nervously
the arm Of his counsel, Judge Walker, who
had struggled 81 nobly in bis defence, and who
had fought SO bravely. though in vain, against
the dark and impending fate which awaited him,
and exclaiming, in a trembling ard appalling
tone g That is aorong, Judge! Is Hearcn IS
my pitness, did not do 1t - burst into an
agony of tears.
Each spectator in that Courtroom fei, a
thrill Of wo, in that painful and awful silence,
dead as the hope Of the unfortunate who weep
ing like child before them.
