CRoMwELL.-A person in England, la:ely
rumaging among his family documents, found
written on the back Of an old deed some words
indicating that pot of gold was buried in a
certain place in the garden. 1t was first re-
garded as hoax, but on digging in the spot an
iron pot came to light, containing fifteen thousand
guineas, and scrap Of parchment, much de-
cayed, on which was written: "the devil shall

THE BLACK WARRIoR-The Washington cor
respondent Of the New York Times, writing
unier date of March O1Sf eor..

The BLACK WARRIoR.-The Washington cor
respondent of the New York Times, writing
under date Of March 21st, says:
"Waren Winslow was sentas a special bearer
of dispatches to Spain, in the steamer which
left New York on Saturday last. The messen-
ger which arrived here from the Captain Gen.
eral of Cuba to the Spanish legation, has ac-
complished nothing. There are a variety of
reasons assigned for this failure, but probably,
the true. cause is to be found in the want of
official or diplomatic authority on the part of
the messenger. His proposition, it is under
stood, partook more of the nature of an offer
for the payment of damages for the losses in
CURED, as in any ordinary commercial transac-
ton, than of reparation for national offence,
and was, consequently, not such an offer as our
government could accept as there were other
and much graver national questions involved,
beyond the mere amount Of private damages
sustained The response to the dispatches just
sent out will be awaited with more than ordi-
nary solcitude; and it is as well to repeat, that
unless the temper of Congress on this subject
is essentially modified during the time which
must necessarily elapse before this response can
be received, you may expect something to fly
besides feathers

THE TARIrr.-The Washington correspondent
of the Charleston Standard, writes as follows
concerning the chances for modification of
the present tariff:
5" 1t may be taken for granted now, think,
that Congress will not attempt to disturb the
tariff at the present session. As informed
you two months ago, nearly, the Committee of
Ways and Means did draw up and have printed
a new tariff act which was referred to the Sec
rotary of the Treasury for his consideration
But since then, circumstances have transpired
that lead many of the friends of strict revenue
tariff to doubt the propriety of any modification
at this time, and while nothing has been definite
ly determined upon, there is an evident indis-
position in the House, or on the part of the
Committee of Ways and Means, to move in the
matter. The Gadsden treaty, if ratified, will
take atsleast seventeen millions out of the Urea
sury at once. The purchase of Cube, which is
looked upon as a by no means improbable event
in the early future, would require many mil
lions more. The passage of homestead bill
would reduce the revenue of itself, at least
million per annum; and the millions would
necessarily flow like water, should we happen
to get in any way involved in the general war
now threatning to break out in Europe. These
considerations lead members Of the administra-
ton, as well as members of the House, to be
contended with a postponement of the tariff
question at least until next winter.

EFFECTS OF WRONG SpELL1NG.-Not long
since, gentleman, thena chorister, of a certain
choir in Vermont, wrote to a certain publisher
in Boston for copy of that popular singing book
entitled "The Ancient Tyre" In his COM
munication he used the following language
I" Please send me the Ancient Liar well bound. {"
The publisher, in answer to his request, replied
=" My Dear SRI do not doubt but that the
Ancient Liar; he who has been ga liar from the
beginning has been, and still is, in Boston !;
but it will be difficult to comply with your re-
quest, for the reason that Boston influence is SO
strongly in his favor, it will be impossible to

BoNAPARTE's POVERTY IN EARLY LIFE
Mr.. Theirs in his history of the consulate
recltes some very strange and previously
unknown particulars respecting the early
life and penury of Napoleon Bonaparte.
1t appears that after he had obtained a
snbaltern's commission in the French ser.
vice by his skill and daring at Toulon, he
lived in Paris in obscure lodgings, and in
such extreme poverty that he was often
without the means of paying ten sous, item
cents for his dinner, and frequently went
without any. He was under the necessity
of borrowing small sums, and even worn
out clothes from his acquaintance. He
and his brother Louis, afterwards King of
Holland, had at one time only coat be-
tween them, SO that the brothers could only
go out alternately, time and time about. At
this crisis, the chief benefactor of the future
Empire and conqueror sat whose mighty
name the earth grew PALE" was the actor
Ialma, who often gave him wood and money.
Napoleon's face afterwards so famed for its
classical mould was during that period of
starvation, harsh and angular in its Inca
ments with projecting cheek bones.
His meagre fare brought on an unpleasant
cataneous disease. Of a type so verulent and
malignant, that it took all the skill and as
siduily of his accomplished physician, Cor
visar, to expel it, after duration of more
than ten years. s--.-.
The squaIlid beggar then the splendid
Emperor aiterwartls-the threadbare habli-
ment, and imperial mantle-,he howell and
the place-the meagre food and the gorge
Gus banquet-the friendship Of poor actor
the hommage and terror of poor actor
an exile and and prisoner. Such are the
ups and dows Of this changeful life, such
are the life and shadows of the great and
mighty. -

the Inequalities of that city to Ex-Presiden
Fillmore. The Register remarks:
When he was candidate for the SURFACES O
the people; when he was the active participant
In political movements; when he propounde,
policies and dispensed patronage-we found, O.
thought we found in the honest indulgence O
Characteristic American freedom of thought
many glaring imperfections, many weak point
o. salient errors in his public character.
We did not like the circumstances under
which he was elected to the Vice Presidency, OF
the elements which secured his success. We
had no faith in him, as national man; VIC
thought him sectional and fanatical and have
ever disliked the party opinions which we be.
Ieved him to entertain. l7}
But we are bound to confess that our fears
and apprehensions were agreeably disappointed
during Mr. Fillmore's administration. He ex-
hibited an amount Of ability, solidity Of Judge
ment, deliberate prudence, and an enlarged
and comprehensive patriotism, which we had
not awarded to him. Much of this world, un-
questionably, have arisen from the Matchmaking
influences of the ofice-but it would be q mar
row and liberal spirit, to deny it also to the
merits of the man. His better nature, the
nobler qualities of his head and heart, which
hadnot reached their full expansation in the
earlcar days Of his Congressional career-were
drawn forth in the sunshine Of his high position,
and answered to its imposing responsibilities
end demands. He made, in short, far better
hesident than we anticipated, and entitled
himself, when all his antecedents and counter
ladnences are considered, to no small share Of
ne gratitude Of the American people. q.
