Prince Albert and the English Public.

Prince Albert and the English Public.
The London correspondent of the " 7.
Tribune, writes as follows:
Twas able to see the State procession of
the Queen to open Parliament, as itpassed
the House Guards. The Turkish Embas-
sador was received with loud cheers and
hurrahs Prince Albert, whose counte-
nance was deadly pale, was furiously his
sed by the crowds on both sides of the
streets, while the Queen was pairing of her
usual salutes and morbidly smiled at the
unwonted manifestations of popular dis
content. In previous letter I have re-
duced the bertmovementto its true
dimensions, proving it to be mere party
trick. The public demonstration is, new
ertheless, of a very grave character, as it
proves the ostensible loyalty of the Brit
ish people to be a mere conventional for
mality, a ceremonious affectation which
cannot Withstand the slightest shock
Probably it may induce the Grown to dis
miss Ministry, the anti-national policy
of which threatens to endangerits own Sc
curity.

@This story, SO fraught with mean
ING, we have often met with, but it will
bear frequent REPETITION. Will our little
readers con it over:
A father, whose son was addicted to
some vicious propensities, bade the boy
drive nail into certain post whenever
he committed fault; and agreed that a
nail should be drawn out wheneyre he COR
rected an error. In process of time the
post was completely filed with nails.
The youth became alarmed at the ex-
tent of his indiscretion, and set about re-
forming himself One by one, the nails
were drawn out, and the noble father COM
mended his noble, self-dening heroism, in
freeing himself from his faults.
"They are all drawn OUT said the par
ent.
The boy looked sad, and there was a
whole volume fo practical wisdom in his
sadness. With heavy heart he re-
piled:
"True, father, but the scars are there
still"

Aaron Burr,S Wife.


The Paris Patrie of late date has the
following:
At the last Tuilleries bell, the brilliant
toilette of a stranger, with an incredible
number of diamonds, attracted the atten-
ton of all present. In moment the at
tention was changed to the most intense
curiosity, when Louis Napoleon was OBJ
served to accost the lady, and remain
some moments in conversation. The lady,
enigma was soon solved. The lady was
the widow of Mr.. Aaron Burr, formerly
Vice President of the United States, with
whom Louis Napoleon was on terms ofin
timacy whilst in that country, and at the
end of fifteen years he had recognized the
widow of his old American friend.
This probably alludes to Madame Jumel.
the wealthy second wife of Col. Burr. who
obtained divorce from him a few years
previous to his decease. She large
landed estate on the Island of Malta.

the duties of religion Such was the
state OF affairs, when Senacherib, king of
Assyria approached Pelusium, with the
intention of invading Egypt. Sethon,
aware of the danger which MANAGED him,
and that his only safety consisted in ac-
quiring the aid of the maltreated soldiers
sought now to soothe their resentment.
but in vain
They firmly refused to take up arms in
his defence. The royal priest, as is the
custom of men, when unable to help him.
self, sought for the assistance of superior
Power, whom he implored in the utmost
detection of mind, not to forsake him in
this time of great danger. While he was
in the temple, as the tradition informs us,
he fell into deep sleep, during which it
seemed to him that the God stood at his
side, and exhorted him to courage; prom
islng that if he would GO out to meet the
Assyrians, he should obtain complete vic
tory over them. Relying on this promise,
Sethon assembled together promiscuous
body of mechanics, shopkeers, and labor
ers, and with this undiciplined multitude,
went out to meet the formidable host o1
Assyrla. But 10! the very night after his
arrival at Pelusium, an infinite number ot
6eld-rats entered the enemy's camp gnaw
ed the quiyers and shield straps to pieces
When Sethon on the next morning
found the Assyrians disarmed and hasti
ly retreating, he pursued them with grea
slaughter.
In commemoration of this miraculou.
event, there was a stand statute of thi.
king erected in the temple of Vulcan
with rat in one of his hands, utterins
these words from his mouth: Whoever be
holds me, let him be pious.
1t is curious to observe how miraculous
in ancient times generally happened, il
aid of those, who were the favorites O
the priests. There can be no doubt
pestilential disease saved Egypt, as vel
as Judea, from being subdued by Sennac
cherib, and we are bound TO admit, tha
this check upon the plans of the Assyri
an monarch took place in consequence Q
the will of Providence, but we are not
therefore obliged to believe the spuriou
stories of falsifying priests.
This was the invasionof Senacherib an
the destruction of his army as recorde
in the eighteenth and nineteenth chapters c
second Kings, and the thirty chap
ter of Isiah, of which I have given fur
ther account in the history of Judah an
Israel.

THE BRITISH INSULT TO Mr.. BUCHANAN.
--Telegraphic adyices from Washington,
of the 24th inst, say:
There is rumor current that Mr.. Bu-
chanan will return home soon, disguised
with his treatment by British officials in
thematter of his refusal to appear in Court
costume.
We hope our Government will resent
the indignity offered to our Minister, by
suspending all diplomatic intercourse with
Great Britain, until that nation comedies

privileges we accord to her Minister in

his aching head in both hands.

RAILROADS IN MAssAcHUsETTs.-The

that they have already been multiplied
to such an extant that it is impossible to
invest additional capital in these enterprises
at least for some time to come.

Short Sermons.
The editor of the Boston Transcript goes
in for short sermons Hear him:
s'The oldest clergyman in Boston who
has been the esteemed and beloved pastor
of large society for more than a gener-
ton, has averaged about fifteen minutes
in the delivery of his sermons during the
forty years of his ministry We once
heard him preach an impressive sermon
twelve minutes in length. Those who have
ever listened to his rich, musical voice, and
heard his lessons of wisdom and instruc-
ton, have always been impressed by his
short, butyery comprehensive diseourses.
1t is rare talent to be able to make a
short speech, and we regard it as quite
a gift to be able, as some men can, to say
more in fifteen minutes than others are
able to do in an hour How compre-
hensive and yet how shorts that Sermon
of the Great Teacher! And with what
brivity did the Savior compose the Lords
Prayer. The length of a sermon, address
or praper, is the last test we should insti-
tute Of his true value. fz

SHOES AND LEATHER.-The Wheeling
Gazette has been shown letter from a
gentleman now at the east, who says that
throughout Massachusetts, and all the
Eastern markets, shoes have advanced
from 96 to 55per cent on last years pri-
ces, and leather of all kinds has advanced
100 per cent. The cause of the advance
in leather is found in the non importation
of hides. @ 1

The Meeting Of Congress.

The meeting Of the present, Congress presents. for

ties in both branches Of Congress Ia the Senate the
members stood f,cenfy-three Wings and hirty-nine
Democrats Ia the House Of Representatives they
stood eighfy.seren Wings TO hundred aud forty
one Democrats, with five cassed Freesoilers. The
elections in the year 1858, before the Administration
had been tried by the people, still added its maori-
~, and very much decreased the strength Of the oppo-
tion.
We have not yet seen 4 complete list Of the men,
beers elected To the present Congress- but enough
known to tell sad tale for the Administration
Of General Pierce In the Senate, where
changes cannot readily take place, owing to the
length Of the term, only thirtysfour Democrats

most favorable circumstances, for the Democracy
In the House Of Representatives the recent e,c-
tons in eighteen States Of the Union have reversed
the order OF things in those States from that of s5out
