ing your portrait in the beginning, and from reading
your address to your friends at the end of it. When
we feel under obligations to those who have contrib
uted to our information and amusement we are nat
urally desirous to possess a knowledge Of them of
their appearance, of the features Of their counten-
ance and of the character and habits of their mind
which we can acquire. You have placed your mum
erous readers lat least you have me, if NAV not
speak for them) under those obligations; and the
number of your valuable work now before me, in
some degree, satisfies the desire to which have anu-
ded.
have become quite familiar with the Magazine
and Review, and have hesitation in expressing
humble opinion that it is emnently entitled to the
public regard and support It collects and arranges
in good order, large amount of valuable statistical
and other information, highly useful not only to the
merchant but to the statesman, to the cutivator of
the earth, to the manufacturer, to the mariner in
short to all classes of the business and reading com.
munity.
Entertaining this opinion, I am glad that it has
been, and hope That it may continue to be- literally
patronized.
Offering you cordial assurances of my esteem and
regard am truly your friend and obedient servant

Gals that was ever published. To the merchant it

Iarity -" 1t may be very wise to see
both sides Of a question and 10 he more anx-
ious about what can be said against you
than what can be said for you, but the
fact is that the object of most men in
buying newspaper is to enjoy the state
ment Of their own inarticulate notions in
the shape of artistical development and
expression. A reader never so thorough
~ enjoys paper as when he can say,
That is exactly what I have said my
self and he always tries to buy that
paper which Gun give to his own opinions
an air Of the greatest point and wisdom.
1t is looking into 4 mirror which tells
him, not the superficial aspect, SO made
quate to the expression of his real beauty
and dignity, but that inner truth which is
a more perfect portrait of the whole

GENERAL HAYNAU'S CoRrSE.-A most
extraordinary account has reached us in
a private letter in Vienna to a high per-
sonage here, and has been the talk Of our
salons for the last few days. 1t appears
that the circumstance of the death Of
General Haynau presented phenome-
non of the most awful kind on record.
For many days after death the warmth
Of life yet fingered in the right arm and
left leg of the corpse, which remained
limp and moist, even bleeding slightly
when pricked.
No delusion, notwithstanding, could be
maintained as to the reality of death, for
the other parts of the body were COM
pTetely mortified, and interment became
necessary before the limbs above men,
toned had become either stiff or cold.
The writer Of the letter mentioned that
this strange circumstance has produced
the greatest awe in the minds Of those
who witnessed il, and that the emperor
had been so impressed with it that his
physicians had strictly forbidden the
subject to be alluded to in his presence.

There was quite respectable meeting
at the Court House, on Tuesday last, of
gentlemen from all parts of the county,
interested in the formation of Jockey
Club. Several subscriptions were readi-

spirit manifested, there seems no doubt
of the complete success of the under

The FRAHLrN FUND.-The 1000
left by DR.. Franklin to the city Of Boston,
to be let at an interest to young unmar-
Tied artizans in sums not exceeding EGO
sterling, now amounts to SIS, 2S0.55.
Franklin estimated that IT would reach
$581,640 in one hundred years, but
owing to losses it will probably reach
about 100000. One provision of the
will was that when the fund should
amount to 1851 $40, half million dol
lars should be appropriated to some
public works, which should be Judged to
be of the most general utility to the
inhabitants Of Boston. The loans are
now rarely applied for at all, and it is
proposed that the fund be deposited in
The Massachusetts Hospital Life Tnsur-
ance Co, and in the Savings Banks of

EARTHQUAKE IN WHEELfEG.-Thc
Wheeling Times says:%%
a slight shock Of an earthquake was
felt in Wheeling on Monday, about Is
minutes past 9 o'clock, A. NJ. 1t was SO
sensibly felt in all directions, and shook
the building occupied by the Linslcy In
stitute so violently, that the teachers
fearing its fall, dismissed The scholars.
No sound was heard, we believe, and al
though the rocking of the earth was but
momentary, it was so sudden and power
full as to excite alarm.
We copied yesterday note from the
Washington Republic, that shock of an
earthquake was felt in that city on Mon

appears from the above, it was felt in
Wheeling.-We have heard of no one
who felt it here.-BaH. Patriot.
