sn;yit of the Press.

The Nail of yesterday, in the course of a
leader upon the Administration, remarks that
Franklin Pierce was elected President on the
ground that he was preeminently orthodox
and reliable upon the Compromise Question,
and that the result of his election has been
that he has appointed enemies of the Com
promise to the principal and the best offices
of the Government.
The Enquirer rebukes the alleged factious
and cavilling course of the Wing press with
reference to the course of the present AID.
ministration.
The lphtg comments upon the opinion of q
Vienna correspondent of the London Times
that the Russian Emperor is not combining his
ambitious schemes to Turkey but is looking
to the acquisition of China. The Wing
thinks that the ordering of 10000 men to Fin
land by the Emperor of Russia, and his pro-
hibition of the expectation of grain from that
country may be regarded as demonstration
upon Denmark and the Sound, with a view to
be master of the Baltic. Such comprehen-
sive schemes, it suggests, may be too great
to be consummated by any one power-and
the effort to achieve them may entail gene
raj failure.

SAD CALAMITY-Seldom have we been more
painfully excited than by hearing the sad tidings
received yesterday morning that the family Of Mr..
William Hall had been thrown into irremediable
sorrow by the less of mother and daughter. IN
single moment, and in the mids. of seeming en-
joyment During the summer the family OF Mr..
Hall has resided in the house of Col Minge, at
Point Clear, TO which they retired two or three
weeks ago, in the vain hope OF restoring SICK
child After this loss the family still continued at
the Point where they enjoyed the finest health,
from constant bathing and wholesome exercl5e.-
Late on the evening of Thursday Mrs Nlliiain
Hall was bathing, as was the constant custom, with
her sister nlaw, and her own daughter, Caroline,
an interesting girl, aboutten years old. This sweet
little creature, In the fresh enjoyment OF the wafer
and youthful spirits, ventured little too far In
an instant maternal affection, in ts elt-sacrheing
spirit, drove the alarmed parent TO the rescue OF
of the poor child; but, being equally unable TO re-
sist the deep water, parent and child perished TO-
gether TO picture the sorrows OF that bereaVed
family were as useless az Impossible. Seven or
phans yet survive to mourn a mothers loss, Sc
cond sister gone Mobile Register.

Meagher Festival.

Sner FeSClVa1s 70.
A large social party of ladies and gentle
men, friends of the Irish Patriot and orator,
greeted with cordial welcome the distin-
guished visitor at the Burnet House, Cincin-
natl, on the 9Th of January. After the lee
ture delivered by him before the Library
Association, he was introduced to the festive
assembly, who were assembled around the
well filled table, and addressed in neat
speech by P. Mallon, Esq, President of the
United Irish Association of Cincinnati
After the cloth had been removed, Mr..
Mallon, the President, announced the first
regular toast, viz:
l. The Guest Of the Eueinng - THOMAS
FRANCIS MEAGHER-Gifted with high ge-
MUS, and born to an enviably fortune, he
sacrificed both to aid suffering People, as
piring to Liberty.
AS hero and martyr he is doubly en-
titled to the symprthies of this Republic
to the sympathies of Americans because he
is the victim of that power, against which
they were so happily victorious-to the SYM
pathies of Irishmen, because he imperrilled
his life, and suffered martyrdom in behalf
of their native land.
His name is engraved on the pages of the
worlds history. and is enthroned in the
hearts of all who love liberty, and honor
martyrs
To this toast Mr.. Meagher responed in an
eloquent acknowledgement of the compli-
ment paid him, and Of his devotion to the
Constitution of the United States. and his
determination to become citizen of this
land of liberty.
