COLD WEATHER ON PRINCE EDwARI

COLD WEATHER ON PRINCE EDWARD
IsLAND.-A letter from that Island
under date Of March 7, states that the
weathet has been extremely cold on
the Island, and numbers have been
frozen. Mr.. Price, Colonial Treasur-
er, lost his way on the preceding
Thursday uight, in fearful storm, and
was badly frozen. all Of his fingers
are to be cut off. Three horned cat
tie and one horse were frozen stiff in

Hon. J. J. CR1rENDEN.-The trial
of Mr.. Matthew F. Ward, for the Kill
ling of Mr.. Butler, will take place at
Elizabethtown, Ky, on the 18th Of
this month. We learn that the dis
tinguished ex-Attorney General, John
j. Crittenden has volunteered his ser
vices to defend Mr.. Ward, circum-
stance which, considering the strong
party antagonism that has always ex-
listed between Mr.. Crittenden and Mr..
Ward, is highly creditable to the heart
of Mr.. G., and justifies the belief that
the case Of Mr.. Mathew +. Ward, can
not be the outrageous act which so
many have sought to make it appear.

NAv1oAToR's 1sLANDs.-The Sar
Francisco Herald, Of March 18th
says:
The clipper ship Rover's Bride
sails to-day for Australia, touching at
the Navigator's or Friendly Islands.
Among the passengers is DR.. Van
Camp, U. s. Commercial Agent for
the Islands, who goes out with his
family to take up his residence at
Apia. These Islands are every day
becoming Of more Importance as de-
pots for our whaling feet, and vessels
on the way between California and
Australia. They contain population
of 15O,00O-full double that of the
Sandwich islands, with number of
excellent harbors, and supplies sulii-
cient for the wants of all the vessels
that may touch there. The natives
are hospitable and Kind to strangers,
and far superior to the Kanakas in
physical, and moral and mental quail
ties. The missionaries have laoored
with great success in improving the
condition of these people q, 900 Of
whom can now read and write. AZ an
evidence Of their advancement, it is
said that no less than six thousand
Bibles were distributed anong them.
We understand that the U. 8. sloop-
of-war St. Marys has been ordered by
the Department to visit these Islands
and the groups adjoining, and keep
sharp lookout that the American in
terests are not jeoparded by foreign
encroachments.

r1n Philadelphia, there is now
q regulation Of the Fire Department,
whereby ropes are stretched across
streets entering upon the fire, SO as to
prevent idlers who are attracted to the
scene by curiosity, from getting in the
way Of the fireman. A good append
age to this arrangement, would be a
small engine to squirt muddy water
on them. for no man has any business
at a fire, unless he is willing to do
something towards arresting its prog.
ress, and saving the property.

This has become very popular way
Of money making. 1t is difficult to
discover in modern lecturers, which Of
the two passions predominant, and
stimulate them to travel; whether it Is
the love Of money, or the love Of glory.
They always keep company however,
and it is difficult to discriminate. We
blame no man for wanting to put his
talent (if he have any to the best adj
count; and the plan Of travelling
about is very commcndable. Nova
days to obtain notoriety as an orator,
all necessary, for man to do, is to
persuade himself that he is eloquent,
and march off to glory.
Something, should never be done
for nothing" this is good principle,
and therefore people should not expect
to know, what great truths great lectur-
ers have discovered, without paying
for them. This is suggested by the
following newspaper extract:

SEARCH FOR A Wlrg.-From the
Richmond Va, Wing we learn that a
Yankee traveller is in that city search
ing for lis wife. Hc says that on his
way from California. about three
months ago, in company with his wife.
he delayed 4 few weeks in Mississippi,
with view Of examining. that por.
ton ofthe country, and settling there if
he could discover q suitable location.
In the reconnoitre be lost his wife, by
some accident, or she lost him, it does
not matter which. and after fruitlcss
searches for her, be betook himself TO
his native place, Massachusetts,, be-
lieving she might have nude her way
there. Finding, upon his arrival, she
was not within the four corners Of that
State, he resolved to return to Missis-
sippi, and there renew his search.
Before leaving home, however, he
made solemn vow not to taste a sim
gle morsel Of food until he should find
her. He seemed very much detected.
and it was known that he had eaten
nothing during the three days which
be had remained at Richmond.
