UNPREMEDITATED ELoQUENCE.-Asa an
example of powerful unprecedented elo-
quence, may be given short answer Of
Curran, the Irish orator, to certain
Judge Robinson--."the author of many
scurrilous pamphlets upon one
occasion when the barrister was arguing
case before him, had the impudence to
reproach Curran for his poverty, by tell
ing him that he expected "his law library
was rather contracted"
at is true, my lord, +" said Curran, with
dignifed respect, "that I am posr; and the
circumstance has certainly somewhat cur
tailed my library; my books are not nu-
merous, but they are select, and 1 hope
they have been perused with proper dispo-
sition. 1 have prepared myself for this
high profession, rather by the study of
good works, than by the composition Of
a great many bad ones. | am not ashau-
ed of my poverty; but | should be asham-
ed of my wealth, could l have stopped to
acquire it by servility and corruption. II
l rise not in rank, l shall at least be hon
est: and should | ever cease to be so, ma
ny an example shows me that an ill-gained
reputation, by making me more conspic-
uous, would only make me the more uni
versally and the more deservedly contemp-
tible. .''-Bro,sgham.

MORE ABOUT RIFLE-SHoT CANNON. Mr.. J
w. Cochran, OF the United States, is now in
this country superintending a series of expert
mcnts with bis new rifle-shot for cannon. The
shot is conical in form, having two spiral holes
which diverging from the anex, are brought
to the surface again at point near the base.
BY this ingenious contrivance, the shot, as it
passes through the air, acquires rotary mo.
tion, the same as would be impaired by rifing
the cannon itself. There is also an arrange.
msnt atSthc base Of the shot for stopping the
windage. Mr. Cochran has applied the same
principle to shot for The common mu ket, which
it is believed, viii prove as elective as the
ri6ed barrel. The same gentleman has rceciy
ed orders from Government for number OF
canEon,shot on a new principle, which secures
uniformity in cooling by the use Of cone.-
The strength and beauty Of the casting is
greatly enhanced by this method. and it is un-
derstood that it is to be applied universally in
all our fouDdrics-Er.

PRINcE MURAT AT BoRDENTowx.-
This is pre-emiuently the age of political
vicissitudes. A few years ago there was
an obese loafer at Bordentown, N. j.. who
used so drink with fellows about town. and
borrow two shillings at time from the
gentlemen Of the place while his wife kert
most respectable school, and his aristo-
cratic looking daughter was the cynosure
OF all eyes at church. Now this same
free and easy idler, whose scores at fht'
Bordertown shops were unpaid few
months ago, and probably are still, has
got up mimic court in the shadow Of the
Tullieries, and is followed by retinuc Of
Italian eziles-hc and they believing that,
ere long, the seeptre of Naples will be in
his grasp, as King Murat the Second. -

ELoPEMENT.-We stated on Wednes-
day, says the Troy Courier, that woman
recently arrived at Chicago, from Kansas,
with the dead body of her husband, which
she was taking East for burial, and that
on the route she fell in with young man
and Oh their arrival at Chicago, they went
OFT together, leaving the dead body of the
husband in the depot. But it seems that
the latter part of the statement was erro-
neous, for the woman forwarded the dead
body on, and it arrived with her new hus-
band on Monday, and the funeral of the
deceased husband was held at Waterford
on Tuesday last.

BEAUTIFUL AND TRUE.-In late ar
ticle in Fraser's Magazine this brief hut
beautiful passage occurs: Education does
not commence with the alphabet. 1t be-
gins with mothers look with fathers
smile ofapprobation, or sign ofrepreof-
with sisters gentle pressure Of the hand,
or brothers noble act Of forbearance-
with handsful of flowers in green and dai
sy meadoW--with bird nests admired. but
not touchcd-with creeping ants, and al
most impcrceptible emmets-with hum
ming bees and glass bec-hives-with pleas
ant walks in shady lanes, and with thot's
directed in sweet and kindly tones, and
words to mature to acts of benevelence, TO
deeds ofyirtue, and to the source of all
good, TO God himself.7'
