THEODORE Parker. The Washington Star
says of this clergyman
" Such men as this crazy Mr.. Parker have.
lived In every age and cline. They answer
the excellent purpose in this country Of escape
valves for the craziness, envy, malice, and
jealousy Of a very large class Of over bilious
folks. They are, in fact, the mouth pieces of
that tribe"

CONVICTION AND SUICIDE OF DR.. GARDINER.
The jury in the case of DR.. Gardiner, who has
been on trial at Washington, for fraud on the
Government, by claiming and obtaining a
large sum of money for an alleged silver mine
in Mexico, returned verdict Of guilty, on Fri
day morning last. The Court passed sentence
the highest allowed by law-namely, ten
wears Imprisonment in the Penitentiary. DIR.
Gardiner had appeared perfectly tranquil uni
the verdict of guilty was pronounced, when he
evinced deep agitation. He was remanded to
his cell, where he committed suicide. The
particulare we learn are as follows On en-
iering The cell where he was confined, he was
observed 10 drink some water throwing his
head back, and il is supposed he took strych-
nine pill. He was seized with commissions al
most Immediately afterwards, giving a letter
to his brother Charles Gardiner, remarking
that he was "goIng before Judge who would
not pronounce him guilty." and expired in
great agony. He was SO years old; had the
education and manners of genilemrn, and
was engaged to be married to lady in George
town.

Shinhnilders Convention.

Shipbuilding in our State has becOme one Of
our great interests We have probably two
hundred and fifty shipbuilders in Maine, and
build more Ships, Briggs and Barks than all the
rest 81 the United STATES.
The tonnage built in The State the last year
will not fall short Of Two hundred thousand
tons, equal to twelve millions Of dollars.
Maine ships are at this day preferred by the
New York merchants to ships built in that
city.
A few years ago and The New York ships
were famous for their symmetrical proportions,
magni6cence and beanly-the world Over--but
the New York builders must soon snccumb to
superior artists from the pine tree State.
Our builders are getting to understand their
interests and are destined as class to hold
prominent place in society. We understand
they are to have convention composed Of the
shipbulders in the State at Bath-prubably The
first week in April % adopt some rule Of adj
measurement and for the promotion of the art
in all lis branches.
Success, say we, to our enterprising builders
who seem to be determined to adopt the State

The Gadsden Treaty.

The Gadsden Treaty with Mexico has been
published. By this treaty, the United States
comes into possession Of large extent Of fer
tile lands in Mexico, and certain disputed
boundaries are substantially fixed. The
Treaty has been sent to the Senate, accompa-
MED by message from the President. The
N. Y. Times, (whig,) speaking Of the motives
for the Treaty and the advantages to be gained
by its ratification, says
!" We do not suppose the narrow view of
securing an accession of fertile lands consti-
tuted the sole or the principal motive of the
acquisition. Higher issues had to be recon-
ciled and in effecting this on the basis Of a
new boundary, unless we are much misn-
formed. the United States have secured one
with imposing military salients, capable of
defence, and so far in advance of the hostile
Indians as to quiet all apprehensions of future
savage outbreaks in that quarter. A position
or place of deposit is also secured on the Gulf
of California, together with the navigation of
that gulf for all time to come. The whole
eastern valley of the Colorado is obtained, and
practical highway, now much used by our
emigrating citizens between the Atlantic
States and those on the Pacific, is included in
the between thirty and forty millions acres Of
land gained by the acquisition"
