A Mrs. Bride, of Lowell, is in Jail at New
Haven for leaving her babe, male child a.
bout fortnight old, in the ladies' saloon at
the railroad depot, in that city, on Thanks
giving day. Her anxiety to get rid of her
child may lind its solution in the fact that
her husband is in California; he may not, like
the husband of the loyal Irish woman in
Troy, have written home.

FRANCE AND ESeLASD on THE Russo
TURKISH WAR.-The New York Herald
gives the principal features of a treaty said
to hive been signed by Count Walewski and
Lord Clarendonon the part of their respec-
tive governments, which are tG the effect that
Russia must evacuate the Principalities or
take the hazard of'war with France and Eng
land combined. Iflhis be true, the decided
action and the neutrality-suspicious. of the
Turks have had their effect uIpn their allies.
France and England finding tIiat they are re-
solved to defend themselves, and having done
it to some extent successfully, have been in
duced to take positive action in their favor
This action, if taken, will inevitably restrain
Russia within her own territories. but it will
probably prolong the war. England having
been relieved 10y the news from India, can
now afford to operate in Europe, and the
three powers combined, are Il match for the
rest of Europe. Russia, il she makes peace,
must give up her prestige, and the formidable
power of the Cossack will no longer be the
terror of the old ciyilised world. If she con-
tinues the conflict, none can tell what will
come of it, although the issue can hardly be
favorable TO her. The arbtrament of the
sword often proves widely different from
what has been anticipated by the wisest.-
Dipolnatists, Generals and Statesmen, may
lay their plans, but as has been said by a
celebrated historian, single blunder of n
single fool may disarange them all, and open
to view results which none Of us have
dreamed of

A MICHIGAN JUpCE.-There used to be n
Judge in the southern part Of Michigan, who
had one expression under which he cloakcd
all his ignorance and perplcxities, and that
was, that he 'must decide according to the
principles of substantial justice" On one
occasion culprit was undergoing his trial
for petit larceny. The offender was an old
one, and every one believed him guilty, bnt
the evidence was Iamentably deficient. After
the arguments were closed, the Judge rose to
charge the jury. He had determined to have
the fellow convicted, but lie could not for,ify
his purpose by the facts and the law. AT
last, after flounderng about for long time,
he closed in the following summary manner:
"Gentemen, You must never lose sight of
substantial justice. That is the end of all
law. The evidence may be rather deficient
in this ease, but, gentlemen, You ought, |
think, keep ia view the eternal principles OF
substantial justice. Gentlemen, think this
man ought to be convicted. He is a id
rascal-he stole my wool all last winter-and
| think you had better bring him in guilty
any how"

sin and its immediate consequence, death, has

appalling messenger, Death-the Brighter OF
youthful hopes and aspirations-the blnster
of mans mature deliberations-has invaded
our land with unprecedented fatality, which
is painfully attcsted by our many decimated
cities; but he in his insatiate and unrelenting
progress stopped not there, for his ruthless
hand has again visited our fraternity and we
are summoned to mourn the loss of worthy
member, whose character was unblemished,
whose life was exemplary, whose integrity
ana probity were nsurpassed-thereiore, ms
an act of tribute to our departed brother,
Robert W. MALONE,
Resolyed That we, the members of the
Eroalethean Society, assemble in the public
Hall on Saturday, January Tth 1854, for the
purpose of paying our last and most decorous
tribute of respect to our deceased brother.
Resolred, That we select Thomas b. Matlock
rs n suitable member to deliver an appropri-
ate address commemorative Of his life and
death.
ReSolved, That we express our profound re-
cret for the lamented dead, and our heartfelt
coincidence with the surviving relatives and
friends of our deceased brother who partici-
pated in our discussions of moral, political,
historical and metaphysical subjects
Resolved That each member of this Society
wear the usual badge of mourning thirty days.
ResolCed, That the parents of the deceased
be furnished with copy of the above; lso,
