THE MARTHA WAsHISGToN.-The exam
ination of this case is progressing slowly, the
evidence elected on the part of the prosecu-
ton was such as to excite the most intense
interest. The evidence for the defence has
commenced, and is of such nature as to
tend to clear the accused, and show the trans
action to be fair upon its face, though the
question is by no means clear or free from
suspicion. The dying deposition of Fily,
respecting the confessions of the other part
ners is the strong point on the part of the
prosecution. Filly's deposition, is entirely
ex-parte and it remains to be seen what
weight it will hwe. We had intended giving
the evidence at length, but our limits forbid.

HEALTH OF THE Hon. VIM. r. KING.-A
Washington correspondent of the New York
Tribune, writing under date of the lst inst.
says;
The Vice President elect, Hon. VIM. r.
King, is still confined to his room, and the
fact cannot be disguised that he is alarmingly
i'll. His most intimate friends entertain no
hope of his recovery, but his distressing
ough may be relieved, and his life proons ed
! by making HE contemplated trip to the
"Queen of the Antilles"
Col. King is an amiable and courteous
gentleman, and he has proved himself an able,
dignified, and impartial presiding officer.
He will not take passage in a mail steamer
from Norfolk for Havana, as was conte III
plated, but will go on board the United States
steamship Fulton, at this place, which vessel
wi pfocee- to Havana direct.
The Hon. John Bragg of Alabama, vaIu-
ed and esteemed friend of Col. X, yesterday
address d a letter to the Secretary of the
Navy, handsomely presenting Col. KS ac-
know Judgements to him for his kindness in
ordering the Fulton here to convey him to
Norfolk, informing him that it was the opn-
| ion of his physician that it would be unsafe
w ouoJ0S' Mo P"1iOhI W INC ihSon'chichoc vi
/ a transfer from one ship to another, the dis
comforts and annoyances to which he would
be necessarl y exposed in crowded Chagres
packet, and thatit would be better for him to
remain here unless some other arrangement
could be made by which these difficulties
could be avoided.
Dir. Kennedy answered the letter of Judge
Bragg promptly, feelingly, and eloquently.-
He informed Judge B. that he would with
pleasure order the Fulton to Washington
and place her at the disposal of Col. X. tc
proceed to Havana on any day he might
name. This kind offer was acknow ledgeC
and accepted, and the steamer will be here
OH Tuesday next. The letter of the Seere
tary is credtable to the head and heart of it;
author, and anticipate the pleasure of tians

Editorial Fortunately.

The following dialogue once occurred in
an editors sanctum in England. A distin-
guished editor was in his study. A long,
thin, and ghostly- visaged gentleman was
announced. With an asthmatic voice, but
in q tone of civility,-for otherwise the
editor would have transfxed him with a
fiery paragraph the next morning,-the
stranger said
"Sir, your journal of yesterday contained
false information
Impossible, sir. But tell me to what
you allude."
"You said that Mr.. NJ had been
"True."
''Condemned,"
every true
"Hung."
"Most true"
SHOW, sir, am the gentleman himself"
''Impossible."
81 assure you it is fact; and now l
hope that you will contradict what you
have alleged"
"By no means, sir"
Chow, what do you mean? You are de-
ranged"
81 may be so, sir, but will not do it."
81 will complain to magistrate.
GAS you please; but never retract. The
most that can do for you is to announce
that the rope broke, and that you are now
in perfect health. have my principles,
sir; I never deceive"

THE GREAT BRITISH QUARTERLIES
4 AND BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE.

l. AND BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE
Important reduction in the rates of post
age! LEONARD SCOTT & Co., No. "a,
Gold street, New York, continues to publish
the following British Periodicals, viz:
The London Quarterly review, (Conser-
vative,)
The Edinburgh Review, (Whig.)
The North British Review, Free Church,
The Westminster Review, liberal, and
Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, TORY,
Those Reprints have now been in sue
cessful operation in this country for twenty
years, and their circulation is constantly
on the increase, notwithstanding the COM
petition they encounter from American pc
riodicals Of a similar class, and from nu-
merous Eclectics ahd Magazines made up
Of selections from foreign periodicals.
This fact shows clearly the high estimation
in which they aBe held by the intelligent
reading public, and affords guarantee
that they are established on a firm basis,
and will be continued without interruption.
Although these works are distinguished
by the political shades above indicated, yet
but q small portion of their contents is de-
voted to political subjects. 1t is their
literary character which gives them their
chief value, and in that they stand con-
fessedly far above all other journals of
their class. Blackwood, still under the
mastery guidance of Christopher North,
maintains its ancient celebrity, and is at
this time, unusually attractive from the
serial works of Bulwer and other literary
notables, written for that magazine, and
first appearing in its columns both in Great
Britain and the United States. Such works
as I" The Caxtons' and MY New Novel"
(both by Bulwer,) "My Peninsular Medal"
g The Green Hand" and other serials, of
which numerous rival editions are issued
by the leading publishers in this country
have to be reprinted by those publishers
from the pages of Blackwood, after it has
been issued by Messrs. Scott & Co., SO that
subscribers to the reprint of that Magazine
may always rely on having the earliest
reading OF those fascinating tales.
