For the Shield. The Departed Year.

The Year has nearly breathed its last its fears and hopes-burthenedwith the groans and sighs of broken hearts, and friendships severed-alI have gone!
 Never will it return. No power save the Almighty, Who rolls the wheels of universe along the brow of eternity, and Who spans eternal years, can obliterate it from the i'm mortal volume of the worlds account.
 o, with what devastating hand the Year has swept the earth Thousands who hailed it's morning freshness with gladness, have gone, never again to return.
 The departed Year! How have we i'm proved it's precious moments? The future will never fill up the chasm of ourpast lives. We cannot recall the past. How little we estimate our time!
 Gone-by Year though gone, not lost ! The page where can be traced the recording angels pen, anl which contains the history of our lives, is marked with imperishable lines, that can never be efaced.
 Hail departing Time! How swiftly 1t flies As it journeys onward to eternity, it's fingers impereeptibly tarnish the check of loveliness, and trace deep furrows on the brow of care.
 It floats on the secret wings of the wind, and with godlike majesty diHuses life and death around-beneath.
 Each passing moment-every departing year-is but pulsation of its might, one beat of its plume, bearing us into eternity The wheel of destiny rolls in the obscurlty of the future; let us improve the present, and reIolce Tn the hope that points us to the joys beyond this transitory scene, to that bright world where no dial marks the feet ing hOurs-where shadows never come to dim the skles-where no hopes are blighted, no hearts are torn with anguish, nor sighs nor groans are uttered.

 A NEW STAPLE.-Our commercial report this morning notices the en- gagement of a ship of 800 tons to take a full cargo of cotton seed to Providence, R. l., where the article IS to be turned into oil and oil cake.
 An extensive factory for extract ing the seed of cotton is already in operation in Rhode Island, and we un- derstand that one or two companies are forming in Boston with the object of getting up similar establishments there.
 This is an enterprise in which the South IS deeply interested, promising, as 1t does, to convert an article hith- erto almost worse than useless, into one of great commercial value.-TN 0. Picayune, 25th.

WASHINGTON. Dec. ,

The President certainly has created
 sensation by means of his Message, .1+bonoh not one of the most agreea- iIo S character. It continues to be de- pDnnnoed, in the boldest language, by ,on who stand high as leaders of the nsmocratic Party, and even some [,embers of Pierce's own Cabinet shrug ,Ioir shoulders ominously when the .biect is mentioned,
 The friends of A1r. Buchanan, who badhoped that the sectional excitement of the last few months would die away before the 4th of March next, are firm in the conviction that Pierce had the deliberate purpose of kicking up row for the annoyance of his successor.
 Postmaster Campbell had assured his Pennsylvania friends that the Mes sage would be very soothing in regard to Kansas and Slavery, and calculated to smooth the way for the new Ad- ministration. This he honestly sup posed; but Jefferson Davis got the Presidents ear, and put the brim- stone into his ink when Campbell and Marcy were away.
 The Democratic members of Con- gross from Virginia strongly condemn the action of the members of the Elec- toraI College of that State in recon mending Ex-G Governor Floyd for a pc stion in Mr. Buchanan's Cabinet.
 A fact, derived from undoubted au- thority, is that MT. Buchanan has ex- pressed desire to have the benefit of Gov. Wise's counsel, and has offered him any station within his Cabinet, but the Governor has declined the tender thus made.

 Sc, to c gentleman of M5s cjty, as h0gjng occurred in has 0aCn PYact5ce.
 A few years since a man of high was tried in England on a charge of forging 8 will, in which it was discovered he had an indirect inter- est to a large amount. NIr. Warren was the associate prosecuting attor- ney, and the case was tried before Lord Denman.
 The prisoner being arraigned and the formalites gone through with, the prosecutor. placing his thumb over the seal, held up the will and demanded of the prisoner if he seen the testator sign the instrument, to which he promptly answered, he had.
 And did you sign it at his request as subscribing witness?'
 II did"
 'NWas 1t sealed with red or blach wax?"
 "With red wax
 "Did you see him seal it with red wax?7
 'I did"
 Where was the testator when he signed and sealed this wiIl?''
 ''In his bed"
 "Pray, how long piece ofwax did he use?"
 "About three or four inches long,"
 "Who gave the testator that piece ofwax?'
 'I did,"
 '|Where did you get it?''
 From the drawer of his desk.'
 ',How did he light that piece of wax?"
 "With a candle"
 ''Where did that piece of candle come from"'
 II got it out of a cupboard in his room."
 How long was that piece of can dIe?''
 ''Perhaps four or five inchesIong.' 2
 "Nho lit that piece of candIe?''
 q lit it."
 "With what?"
 "With a match"
 "Where did you get that match?"
 "0n the mantle shelf in the room. "
 Here Warren paused, and fixed his large deep blue eyes upon the prisQ- ner, he held the willu,o above his head, Lis thumb stiIi resting upon the seal , and said in solemn, measured tone:
 '.Now sir, upon your solemn oath, you saw the testator sign that will he signed it in his bed-at his request you signed, as a subscribing witness you saw him seal it-it was with red wax he sealed it-a piece of wax, two three or four inches long-he lit that wax with a piece of candle which you procured for him from a cupboavd- you lit that candle by a match which you found on the mantle shelt."
 T did,"
 "Once more, sir-upon your sol emn oath, yOu did2"
 T did,."
