England on the floor of Congress, COM

and a warmth even greater than their own
His %eloquence was great. and was found
ed on classical models. Some critics have
objected to his style as being too much in
imitation Of certain great models, and
therefore not good, all limitations being
necessarily vicious. Be this as it may.
his boldness made him always handle i'm
portant subjects in such a manner as was
sure to command profound attention and
deep respect. Several eminent members
of Congress. who had reigned supreme
for years in that body, were overthrown as
the results of their combats with him. On
one occasion-we think it was the passage
OF the tariff compromise act Of l833-he
did no. hesitate to assail Mr.. Clay, then at
the zenith Of his power over the party oil

Horrible.

The Baltimore lines gives the follow.
ing account of a deplorable tragedy in
that city:
The south-easter section of our city
was yesterday the scene of an intense ex-
element. resulting from a shattered intel
lect and the murderous %promptings Of a
diseased imagination. Mrs. Sarah Ann
Bourne, residing in CRANKY street, between
Exeter and High, since the birth of her
fourth child, several weeks ago. has al
most constantly been the victim Of q
strange species Of m%ononania, which
manifested itself in the most touching
terms of endearment towards her children.
in one moment.Nand in hurrying towards
them in the next, the widest phantasies
of desperation and death. The latter
ebon-clouded mood appeared to pervade
the brain OF the unfortunate lady on Thurs
day evening. when she proceeded to the
Drug Store. on N. L. corner of high and
Baltimore streets, where she purchased a
large quantity Of laudanum ands chloro-
form.
With this poisonous compound. she.
proceeded home, and, some hours after
midnight yesterday morning, left the side
of her sleeping, un%suspecting partner, anu
poured this poisonous compound down
the throat of the eldest child, a healthy,
bright-eyed boy, some s years old, her lit
tie daughter W. years younger, her infant
just ushered into this breathing world: and
then concluded the terrible tragedy by
draining the last poisonous dregs herself.
Her husband, awaking some time after,
discovered the terrible truth, and immedi-
ately summoned Drs. Tharp and Hardy
to the scene of death and suffering. By
the immediate application Of electricity,
emetics, and other remedies, the infant
and little girl were rescued, for the present.
from their deathly doom. The bright-eyed
promising boy, just entering upon the
Threshold of youthful promise, soon
brcathed his last from the effect of the
poison; whilst the unfortunate mother is
lettering on the verge OF death, totally IN
conscious Of her desperate ~poison-deal-
ing course Of conduct. Better, perhaps,
it will be, that death ensues ere dethroned
reason resumes its sway and the dread
full results Of maniac rashness breaks with
heart-rending effect upon her awakened
mind. Coroner Rountree, last evening,
held an inquest over the poisoned boy, and
the Jury rendered a verdict in accordance
with the melancholy facts elected in the
investigation. The name Of the bereaved
father is Mr.. James Bourne, who is en-
gagged in the hat business, in Baltimore
street, a few doors west Of Light street.

NAVAL ANECDoTE.--The Richmond Mail gives
the following anecdotes illustrative of the sport of
our Jack Tars
When Commodore Hull commanded in the Medi-
terranean, he one day called the attention of fa-
vorite old quartermaster to large English frigate
which was in sight, and which was maneuvrig most
beautifully. The old Commodore who was some
what of wag in his way, drily observed to the quar-
termaster: How splendidly that ship is Landled
none Of as could handle a ship in that uray" The
weather-beaen old sailor made no reply, but after
looking sternly and fxedly through his glass at the
British vessel, he descended to the berth deck
Presently deputation of sailors, with the quarter
master at their head, appeared at the mainmast,
and requested interview with Commodore Hull.
The Commodore went forward when the spokesman
of the company thus addressed him
Commodore Hull, we understand that you have
said that nobody on board this ship can man0uvre
vessel like that British frigate. We have come
here TO say that we're willing to bet years pay
that we can outmanoeuvre her, and, after that's done
Well bet another years pay that can lick her in
ten minutes.
The proposition was made in perfect earnestness
1t is scarcely necessary to add that the Commodore
good naturedly declined it.
On another occasion, the crew of Captain Downs
ship, lying at Port Mahon, learning that the
French Admiral, in one of his reports had called
American sailors cannibals,'' waited upon Captain
Downs in a body and insisted that he should chal-
lenge the Frenchman to take his ship outside the
harbor, and give satisfaction for the insult. 1t
with great difficulty that Capt. Lowns convinced
them that he possessed no authority for such
