a CHANCE FOR LrrE.-In speaking of the sign
ing of Fife, Stewart and Charlotte Jones death
warrants the Pittsburg Journal says:
The Governor has appointed the 18th of Feb
mary for the execution of Charlotte and Fife,
and the 10th for that of Stewart. The appoint
ment OF the 26th for the hanging of Stewart
wonld seem to have been an afterthought, If we
Judge from the erasure in the date of the war
rant, of which there is indisputable evidence
The delay is judiciouS. 1t is doubtless to give
Charlotte and Fife an opportunity of reiterating
on the scafFold their statements ofthe outlines
of Stewart Whether they will do so, remains
to be seen, and Gov. Pollock appears to have
some doubts oft. TAsydO I, Steleart Oitt haze
a chance FOR his life. We do not apprehend
that any sympathy will be excited in the COM
munity for Charlotte Jones. Everybody is con-
WINGED that she was the leading spirit In the
murder, and had it not beensfor her the crime
would probably never have been PerPetrated;-
We would sooner sign a petition for the pardon
of Fife, guilty as he acknowledges himself to be,
than for Charlotte Jones. Both alike deserve
death on The gallowS-

SCENES A. THE OPENING OF PARLIANcNT.-The
London correspondence of the Philadelphia
American, writing of the opening of Parliament
on the Sd inst, says:
The day was fine, and throughout the line OF
route from Buckingham Palace to the House of
Peers the accustomed ~asSemblage ofsight-seers
eongregated, the female sex being in a strong
majority, owing to the expectation which pre-.
vailed, and which was not disappointed, that
the Prince of Prussia, the bridegroom elect OF
the Princes Royal, would take part in the pro-
c~eSSiOn.
The Queen and Prince Consort were received
with the usual demonstrations; the Princess
Royal also was warmly noticed, and the Prince
ofPrussia was declared to be by feminine critics,
n mice, handsome FyOung fellow" The scene
at the House, of Lords was both interesting and
imposing. The array Of peers robed in scarlet
and ermine, the brilliant dresses ofthe peeresses
%crowding the galleries-too many, by the way
CARRIED in solemn black, announcing the loss of
near and dear relations in India-the extremely
full attendance of the diplomatic body in their
gorgeous dresses, the SiameSe ambassadors
being among the number, and the splendid uni
forms of many officers present rendered the
coup d'Gil at once striking and magnificent
The arrival of the Queen, conducted by the
Prince Consort, was the occasion of the display
of testimonies ofprofound respect from all parts
of the House, and as soon as her majesty was
seated the we'll known hubbub and rush i'm pc
cuiiar quarter, announced the approach of the
Commons" or members of the lower House, n
circumstance which her majesty usually greets
with a smile, as though she much enjoyed the
"scrOudging" for places actively going on among
the representatives of the 'people.n-Amid the
deepset silence the Qneen read the anxiously ex-
pected speech.

T~UCEERuAN, THE MAI. RoBBEa-This indi-
vidual is still confined in Jail at New Haven,
Connecticut, awaiting his examination. His
wife continues to visit him every Saturday, and
remains by his side until the succeeding Monday
morning, when she returns home to New York.
1t is stated that nearly every day brings to Ii hit
new evidence against him. A correspondent Of
the Boston Journrl writes:
The evidence against him comes from Witness
eS scattered all over the country, some of them
residing even as far soutI as New Orleans, and
the calling Of them all together at the trial, will
involve the government in a heavy expense; still
no effort will be spared to obtain his conviction,
although to fully accomplish this it will be need
cd only to obtain such cvienee as can be had in
Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Albany
In these cities the government say that proof
enough and to spare can be had to establish
his entire guilt beyond j shadow of doubt
The mail agent has worked night and day in
collecting these proofs; and now says ne Is ready
for the trial He has receive varied information
as TO the contents of the distracted Philadelphia
mails, and is satisfied that the amount of remit
tanceS contained in all of them and destroyed by
Tuckerman, will amount To fully 100000. OF
course the booty has worked no benefit to the
robber, as the remmittanceS were in notes and
drafts, but the amount of distrust and uncertain
ty which such tampering with n means of con-
veyance, generally regarded as safe, has created
in the mercantile community, Is beyond calcu-
lation. and most fortunate is it that the depreda-
tor has been checked in his evil ways.

ADVENTURES IN AnkANsAs.-The Arkansas
Eagle hits off in the following very personal
terms a class of adventures "infesting'' that
State:
a fellow comes over here; halls from Mem
phis, or somewhere else; advertises as resi-
dent" something-of somewhere; sfs making a
short stay in the village; everybody would do
well to call at his rooms" &c. This is the pre-
face; and upon the strength of it he gets a little
work to do, dresses himself up 80 kill" on a cred
it; gets board on a credit; liquor, cigars, tobac-
CO, fine brandy in bottlcS-ali on u credit; char
ges exorbitantly for his work, of course; tnejob
-ex-tra-or-di-Ra:ry job; must have cash, never
does n credit business. Things rock along so
for awhile; confidence is 'fnlly established, and
this bundle of imposition, brass and r~aScality
feels the pulse of good folks, and finding call
right" takes a jaunt into the country ''Cor few
days." wants the benefit of the country air; gets
a conveyance to some point, and-there's the

New York BoorASD SHOE TRADE.-The trade
doing at present is strictly ola retail character.
\ few out-oftown merchants, having the "need-
full within reach, have been looking through
the market for the purpose of picking up cheap
lots. Aside from this, the trade has worn a
gloomy aspect, Manufacturing has not taken
any positive start, all parties being timorous OF
proceeding freely at present. at the eastward,
we notice a more general disposition to resume
operations. Our leather market has, in conse-
quence, been favorably affected by an increased
demand from that quarter. Collections from
the South and Southwest are very fair, but from
the West they are by no means liberal. The
accounts from the country represent the stocks
as being much reduced. The export demand
for boots and shoes continues very fair, chiefly
for Inlifornia. Heavy work. particularly grain
boots, is rather frmer in price. For Australia,
but very little is going forward; the latest nd
vices give discouraging accounts Of the depres-
sion in prices and the large stocks pressing for
sales.-Ere. Post.

PERSECUTION OF THE PAEIs PREss.-The re-
cent acts ofseverity against the press in France
have caused no little dissatisfaction in the pub
lie mind. a Paris letter thus refers to the pub
lie feeling awakened by the suspension of the
popular Journal, La Prose, in Paris:
1.-The public say, 'We arc every day told by
the official press of the stability ofthe govern
ment, of its standing on the broad basis Of uni
versal suffrage, and of the hold it has on the af-
fections and the loyalty of the people, who live
contented, prosperous and happy under its
sway.
"ff all this be true, we ask, where is the ne
cessity to suppress, BY, one stroke of the pen,
of an article, more or less ineligible, in an eve
ming paper? a government so firmly establish
ed cannot be seriously menaced by ar %effusion
which, had it not been thus arbitrarily visited
would have been forgotten the next day. Can
it be, after all, that the Constitutional and the
Pays, those pillars of the state, not to speak of
the extra auxiliary, the Patrie, are mistaken
when they tell US from day to day that the i'm
perial rule is beyond the reach of contingent
cles?:"

OPESTSG OF THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN OF
1sG0.-A letter in the Philadelphia Erening
Badetin, from Washington City, contains the
following paragraph:
Some facts have come to my knowledge with
in the past few days, which throw considerable
light upon the recent policy OF the Administra-
ton. Most people have expected the President
20 pursue a straightforward, independent and
patriotic course, because, they say, he has at.
tanned the summit Of his ambition, and does not
look forward to a second term Of office. have
satisfactory information that there is already q
strong combination II te0diHg Democrats form
ell J0r the purpose Cf bringing Hr. Buchanan
%.roredri as Il candidate for reelection. Wheth-
er the President himself is privy to this arrange
ment cannot, of course, be ascertained, at
present; but upon the supPOsition that hc gives
it his cOuntenanee, the non .committalism of his
message and his extraordinary anxiety to concili-
ate the iire-eating extremists of the South will
be easily explained. Some Of those who arc
most prominent in the movement, who, by the
way, are principal cXponentS of ultra-SOuthern
sentiment, aver that Mr.. Buchanan will be by
far the most available candidate for the slave
holding interest, and they design to hold the
combinations, thus early formed, over the heads
of Douglas, Walker, Wise, Dickinson and the
other aspirants. The probabilities arc, that in
many respects the remainder of Mr.. Buchanan's
Administration will resemble that Of Mr.. Pierce,
in being marked by a succession Of petty in
trigues for reelection, all Of which are doomed,
beyond peradvcnture, to ultimate defeat. A
second term is an absolete idea in our politics.
