Bulwer's Argument against the Stamp
Duty.

Sir Edward Lytton Bulwer, in his speech on
the stamp duty, remarked, You have been
led to infer that the American press is left in
the hands of ignorant adventures, whereas,
the remarkable popularity Of that press is,-it
embraces nearly all the intellect of that coun-
try. There is scarcely statesman of emf
hence, an author of fame who does not con-
tribute to the American periodical press"
The same speech contained the following, in
regard to the Spectator :-"Once there existed
a penny daily pap, r-it was called the Specta-
tor. Hear, hear. Addison and Steele were
its contributors. 1t did more to refine the
manners of the people than half the books in
the British Museum. Hear, hear. Sudden
ly a penny tax was put on that penny paper,
and so one fatal morning the most graceful in
structor that ever brought philosophy to the
Preside, had vanished from the homes of men.
Hear, hear. A penny tax suficed to extin-
gush the Spectator, and divorce that exquis-
lite alliance which genius had established be-
tween mirth and virtue" Loud cheers.

Partic ularsI of the Last Earthquake al
BrOusSa.

On the evening of the 10th ut., shortly be-
fore o'clock, two or three violent shocks of
earthquake were felt at BrOussa, and caused
universal terror among the inhabitants. Every
one called to mind the fearful scenes which
had occurred hardly month SINCE and was
struck with the apprehension of the coming
calamity, unhappily only too fully realized. In
five minutes from that time every public build
ing in BrouSsa was heap of ruins.
Complete details of the catastrophe are still
wanting, but it must be said, in brief, that the
city is destroycd--fire having devOured what
relics the earthquake had left. Among other
noble monuments that have persisted, is the
magnificent mosque of Oulou-Djami, the pride
of the city. Two mnarets of this edifcc were
overthrow in the former earthquake, and the
cupOla cracked. 1t is now wrecked from top
to bottom, leaving nothing but pile of
crumbled stones, amidst which the celebrated
trubles of the first Sultan are buried. All the
other mosques have experienced like fate.
No stOne-b built house in BrOussa has resisted
the terrible shock. Enormous masses of earth
and rock were detached from the TANKS of the
mountain, above the upper streets Of the place,
and rolled down upon the Jews quarter, whose
destruction they completed.
As to the wooden houses, which escaped
with less damage from the earthquake they
have been destroyed almost totally by con-
fagraton. The flames broke forth at many
points simultaneously, about o'clock, and are
still raging. The scene is awful. The bazaar,
and the whole quarter Of the city around it,
presents nothing but heaps of smouldering
ashes The European quarter has suffered the
least The houses of the Franks are built in
the plain, and have, in many instances, with.
stood the shock. But what misery is around
us on every side. If the government does not
afford assistance promptly and energetically,
hundreds of families who are left destitute OF
food, shelter or clothing, must perish miserably
The conflagration still RACES, 18th at nOon;)
the night has been fearful. Shocks of earth
quake have not ceased to be felt and are still
recurring. More than one hundred and fifty
have been counted of greater or less violence
The population seem paralyzed with terror
and are plunged in a state of indescribable
stupor. The number of vic inns it is impossible
to reckon. Who, indeed, can give an account
of them?
News has arrived that the village of Tikindj
situated about league from Broussa, has been
totally destroyed. Several hamlets and farm
houses in the vicinity are also reported to
have been wrecked by the CONFUSION.

Anecdotes OF Louis Napoleon and the
Empress Eugenie.

The Paris correspondent of the London
Chronicle, writing on the oath OF April, says
The immediate departure of the Emperor for
the Crimea, is looked upon as q certainty, and
the following little anecdOte in reference to the
voyage has caused much conversation While
the Emperor was in London, at one of the d.
plomatic receptions, Mr.. Buchanan, the Minis
ter of the United States, resident in London,
was invited by the Emperor to visit the Uni
versal Exposition Mr.. Buchanan replied that
he was very soon about to return to the Unit
ed States, which would render his visit difficult
of accomplishment. The Emperor having re-
marked that steam had abridged the distance
very much, MIR. Buchanan observed, 4" Yes, it
is not so far from Washington to Paris US from
Paris to the Crimea, whittier l hear it is the
intention of your Majesty to proceed" To
this home thrust, the Emperor merely replied,
ooh t. at is an affair of my own, of which no
one knows anything
In the Paris correspondence of the Precurs-
or d AnverS, under date Of the 25th ult, we
find the following
The Empress is enchanted at the idea of her
visit to the East, and she is proud to find that
the Emperor has ended by gaining every ONT
over to his side. The journey to England ia.
tigued her greatly; but she always endeavor-
ed to conceal its effects, from an apprehension
that the Emperor would not consent to take
her with him to the East. Whenever the
sense of fatigue Overpowered her, she fastened
to say that that which tired her most was the
continued efforts in public to which she was
condemned. Yesterday evening, as she was
speaking with enthusiasm of her approaching
departure for the East, she added that there
was only one thing that troubled her, in con
nection with this Journey, and that was the
idea of her stopping at Coustantinople. "What
would you do at Sebastopol?" inquired thu
Emperor, would you accompany me about o.
horseback p NO." replied the Empress, "bu1
wherever there is suffering to assuage, have
not women sublime duty to fulfil. Whilst
you would be at the head of your soldiers,
would be be leader of those meritOrious womer
who visit the battle field to attend upon and
console the wounded"

ANEcDorE OF Scorr.-Sir Walter was new.
er wanting in something pleasant to say, even
on the most trivial occasions. Calling one
day at Huntly Burn, soon after the settlement
of his friend in that house, and observing a
fine honeysuckle in full blossom over the door,
he congratulated Miss Ferguson on its appear
ance. She remarked that it was the kind
called trumpet honeysuckle, from the form of
the flower. "Weel," said Scott, "yell never
come out o your ain door without a flourish
O trumpets.'

Santiago Sacked by Robbers.

BY the arrival of the clipper schooner Sine
on Draper from Mazatlan, which vessel arrived
on the 18th inst, we learn that the country is
in a state of rebellion, and completely overrun
with robbers and it is almost impossible for
any person to travel by land without beng
molested. Santiago had been sacked by a
band of robbers, and it YVES reported that some
of the inha bitants had been murdered, and the
females carried off,
This bond of marauders proceeded up the
river to a village, and committed the same
depredations. A body of the citizens followed
and overlook them; fight ensued, which re-
suited i'll the defeat of the pursuing party, who
were compelled to surrender, being promised
that their lives should be spared by SO doing
but, after laying down their arms, they were
killed, with the exception of one man, who es-
capped. Great excitement prevailed at Teple,
where an attack was apprehended from the
banditti.
Troops were arriving from the neighboring
towns to protect the place. The stage was
stopped one leauge from San Bias, and robbed.
Mr.. Fanhorn, who came passenger on the
Simeon Draper, had purchased number OF
horses and cattle for the purpose of bringing
them to this country. He was overtaken by
the government troops, his stock taken from
him, and himself thrown into prison, and was
unable to obtain any redress from the author

A JEALOUS WIFE-An anecdote is related
of wife who was very jealous of her husband,
who was worthy member of the Masons.-
One evening bundle came to the house, mark
ed for him, and labelled Private" Of course
this was sufficient for female curiosity, and
therefore she INDUCED in an inspection. Hor-
ror of horrors! Blankets, babys linen, birds
eye, ETC., greeted her astonished eyesight, and
dreams of two families Hoated through her
brain. The husband soon came in, and after
tea when his wife discovered in his eye the
treachery of his conduct, as she supposed, he
took the bundle, and went Out--but not alone,
for the jealous wife was on his track. The
faithlesS husband little imagined that she who
supposed herself foully wronged was lowering
after him. He stepped into the house of a
friend, who also Joined him, carrying small
bundle. The wife became doubly excited, for
prospect OF having companion in misery did
not impress her with the idea of division of
her grief, but only an addition to it. She fol-
lowed closely, and soon halted before small
tenement which they entered Here she paused
to hold council of war. What tactics to
follow she was in doubt, but determined to
storm the citadel she knocked, and hastily
brushed by the little child, and in second
burst upon the astonishcd husband, the embod-
iment of injured innocence. Her feelings were
about to express themselves when the scene
before her caused her to reflect. A poor wo-
man on q sick bed, babe not old enough for
christening, child in crib, two little girls
| in bed met her eye. She read the story at
a glance, and returned home under escort OF
her lord and his friend, who assured her that
she had discovered the great secret of Mason
ry. She never arrived at false conclusion
from appearances again.
