In reply to a complaint of the cost of cler-
gymen's salaries, friend of the clergy per
tincntly inquiries:
'Did such croakers ever think that it cost
thirty-ive millions of dollars to pay the sal
aries of American lawyers; that twenty mil
lions of dollars are paid out annually to keep
our criminals, and ten millions of dollars to
keep the dogs in the midst of US alive, while
only six millions of dollars arc spent annu-

In youth the conversation of our women is
apt to be trifing and insipid, and in middle
age is too often confined to complaints of
health and the scandal of the day Lively
conversation, upon instructive and elevating
topics, is but little practieed, but whenever
it is found it gives charm to the society of
females which nothing else can 1t tri-

g Amende Honorable originated in
Franco in the ninth century. 1t was first an
Infamous punishment inflicted on traitors
and sacriligious persons. The offender was
delivered into the hands of the hangman,
his shirt was stripped of, rope put about
his neck, and taper in his hand; he was
then led into court, and was obliged to pray
pardon of Col, the King, and the country.
Death or banishmcnt often followed. Amen-
de honorable, nowadays IS a mere racanta-
ton or an acknowledgement to the injured
parties.

J. Clancy Jones was brought to-day ex-
pressly to deny the right of the people of q
Territory, so long as it remains Territory,
TO exclude or to abolish Slavery. Kentucky
Cox brought up several Michigan Members
to testify that Cass and Stuart advocated
the Nebraska Bill on the stump as an Anti
Slavery measure. Similar testimony was
given as to the Speeches of Senator Pugh
and others like him in Ohio Georgia Cobb
made set speech against sectionalism and
the sectional party supporting Mr.. Banks;
whereupon Ohio Campbell read from the
House Journal the resolves for Texas annex
alton expressly excluding Slavery from all of
Texas north of the Missouri line and pro-
hibiting Slavery forever in States formed
therefrom. Campbell quoted Cobb's vote
for this exclusion, and insisted that if our
position is sectional and unconstitutional
Cobb's and the Democratic party'swas equal
ly so. Cobb promised to explain at some
future time.
A street fight occurred this afternoon be-
tween Ex-Governor, William Smith, Mem

The British government has succeeded in
obtaining new loan Of sixteen millions sterl-
ing, on terms considered favorable; more so
than was expected, even by the government
ITSELF The loan is raised on a very novel plan
The principal Of the loan is a fixed permanent
amount, without amy term named for its re-
demption, but with the addition Of an annuity,
terminable in thirty years. The bidders we're
invited to name the amount Of the terminable
annuity the contractors would be willing 10 take
for making the loan. Only one bid was made,
and that by the house of Rothschild, who re.
ceived the contract at fl0O sterling for three
per cent. stock identical with consols, and four
teen shillings and sixpence sterling annuity for
thirty years from the 9th Of April. The gov
eminent thus is to receive f100 sterling for
flOO stock, and is to pay interest at three per
cent per annum till the loan be redeemed,
and Ids. Cd per cent per annum for thirty
years.

1t is as idle to deny that water freezes or fire

Why, when abolitionized should southern

There is no sympathy, no congeniality between

have to do in order to be convinced that North

is to open their eyes and read, to unstop their

things, that while these hypocrites may affec
