The Arctic Expedition. SC.

The New York Journal OF Commerce, in
publishing the contradiction 10 the statement
that the Hon. John P. Kennedy, Secretary
Of the Navy, had conferred upon Dr. Kane
the appointment by bsevet, accompanies it
with the following appropriate remarks:
II is, however, true that DR.. Kane has been
appointed to the commend OF the expedition,
while at the same time he is charged with
other duties Of scientific investigation and
inquiry. We do not remember any previous
instance in which our own Government has
assigned medical officer, 10 a duty not
within his actual profession. DR.. Rae, Sur
geons Richardson and McCormic--the best
among the British Arctic Explorers belong
to the medical arm; and tits not uncommon
in other services to extend 10 individuals
such recognition Of peculiar fitness, DR..
Kane has reason, therefore, to feel graiified at
this solitary departure from rountine in our
own.
This appointment, moreover, is due to The
very liberal views ofthe Secretary, of the Ma
Wy, as to the extension OF scientific inquiry.
Now is it simply compliment to DR.. Kane;
for in service like that to which he is APP
pointed, when every month counts, it is a
gain to combine the duties of medical off.

No less than four learned bodies have pass
ed resolutions ccmmendatory to the liberality
Of the Secretary Of the Navy in promoting
physical research. But for him, the Survey,

been a merely photographic affair Of lead

a Man named MoRRls FoRcHHElMER was
arrested and brought before ESQ, Snellbaker
yesterday on charge OF obtaining goods un-
der false pfetences TO the amount Of 81, 900,
from Frederick Nugent, Portsmouth, in Sci
OTTO county. He was sent up TO Portsmouth
for trial, in the custody Of an officer. Gin.
Nonpafeil
MI. =. was brought up to Portsmouth,
tried and acquitted. lfMr. N. had arrested
his son.in-law he might have sustained an
.sction, covering the charge Of obtaining
goods under false pretences. "-Repnblican.
We know nothing Of the matter spoken
ofabove, but believe that Mr.. Forchheinner,
who resided in this place some two years,
and with whom we are we'll acquainted, is
incapable Of committing any such dishonor-
able action as the one imputed to him by the
Nonpafeil. His trial and immediate acquit-
tai is evidence enough, at any rate, that he
is not guilty Of the charge brought against
him, The affair being considered good
joke by Mr.. F.s friends, has only resulted in
little pleasantly at his expense.

A Clerical culprit.

A clergyman is now in prison at Ovid,
Senica N. York, confined on q charge made
against him by the overseers of the poor for
the seduction Of a young girl, the dougter Of
his sexton, who became the mother OF child,
The Whig says:
His case was tried before the county Court
at Ovid, sometime in August last. On this
occasion the girl was subjected 10 most Sc
we're. and ariful examination by Noxon, but
sustained herself to the entire satisfaction Of
the public. The proofs elected were entire
ly convincing of the clergyman's guilt. The
clergyman is man of wealth,
Pts. Since writing the above we have
learned that the girl has died from the effects
of fever brought on, doubtless, by the ex-
citement, anxiety and modification incident
to her situation.
She bore her sicknes with christian resig-
nation and met the King of Terrors with
firmness, declaring to the last the truth ofall
her former assertions in regard 10 the seduc-
ton. Thus ends an unfortunate affair.---
This young lady bore an unspotted reputa.

Ger, She is no more--while on the othel

MASSACRE OF Nuns AT PANS. ~ A conlmu-
nifty Of nuns, with their abbess, were all con-
dcmned to the gaillotiue while the fury OF the
French revolution was at its height. Many Of
these victslDs were young and beautiful, and
most Of them possessed angelic voices, and as
they passed to execution, attired in their monas-
tic habits, through the stormy streets Of Paris,
they raised the hymn Of Veni Creator. They
had never been heard to sing it so diyinely, and
the celestial chorus ceased nor for moment,
moi when they asceneed the steps of the scaf-
fold, nor while the work of death was going
on, though ii became feeble as one alter the
other fell under the guillotine; and al last it
was sustained by but one voice, which was that
of the abbess, but that at length ceased also,
when she in turn, submitted TO the fatal stroke,
