ness Mary, Duchess of Gloucester, expir.
ed yesterday morning, at the age of 81.
She was born on the 25 of April, I776,
and consequently had long passed the Or
dinary limit of human life. 1t is impossi
bic not to feel that the extinction by the
death of this Royal lady of family placed
IN so eminent station is noteworthy
event. There were thirteen children born
from the marriage of George III. with
Queen Charlote-George, Prince of Wales
afterwards George ~; Frederick, Duke
of ork; William, Duke of Clarence, af-
forwards William ~; Edward, Duke of
Kent; Ernest, Duke of Cumberland, after
wards King Of Hanover; Augustus, Duke
of Sussex; Adolphus, the Duke of Cam
bridge. or the six daughters three died
unmarried, and three were married. The
names III the order of birth stand thus:-
The Princess Royal, Charlotte Augusta,
who married the King of Wuriemburg;
the Princess Augusta, who died unmarried:
The Princess Elizabeth, who was married

Princess Mary, the lady just dead, who

he went, he felt in his pocket for wadding,
and without looking at the paper, down he
rammed it. Having reached the spot he
fired away, when all at once he felt some
mlsgivings as TO The character of the wad-

we'd that he had used a small roll of bank
notes in his vest pocket of the value of
$50. Rather dear shot.-FfedcrickS-

Pleasant Afair.-The Harrisburg Tele-
graph says large number of the personal
and political friends of Gen. Simon Cameron,
called on him on the 22d, at his rooms, in
Brady's Hotel, for the purpose of enjoying
social tete-a-tete, and burying in the past all
unpleasant feelings that May have heretofore
prevailed. The Ceneral received them all
with his accustomed blandness, and seemed
to be unusually happy throughout the entire
day. Many gentlemen who had, during s.
great Fart of the present session, been his
most bitter enemies, met him at this time,
and united in renewing their professions of
mutual friendship.

A SLAVES IDEA OF SPIRITUAL
SALVATION.

SALVATION.
The following anecdote is from Ohm
sted's "Seaboard Slave-Stales: p
A slave, who was F'professor," plagued
his master very much by his persistence
in certain immoral practices, and he re-
quested a clergyman to converse with him,
and try to reform hun. The clergyman
did so; and endeavored TO bring the terrors
of the law to bear upon his conscience.
Look yeah, massa,' said the blacksli-
der, "don't de Scripture say. Dem who
believe and is baptized shall be saved?' -
"Ce:tainly,' the clergyman answered;
and went on TO explain and expound the
passage; bat the slave interrupted him
again.
"Jus you tell me now, massa, don't the
good book say desc words: Dem as be-
lieves and is baPtize shall be save;' want
to know dat
''Yes; but"
Oats all | want TO know, sar: now.
watts the use O talkin' to me! You amt
going TO make bleve wat de blessed Lord
says ant so, not eff you try forever.'
The clergyman again attempted to ex-
plain but the negro would not allow him,
and as often as he got back to the judgment
day, or was charging him with sin, and
demanding reformation, he would interrupt
him IN the same way.
'De Scriptures say, if man believe
and be baptize, he shalI-he shall be save.
Now, massa minister, done believe and
done bapiize, an shall be SaUed Sartia-
dere's no use takin', SIR
BRANDY; IFS MANUFACTURE.
The following account from the Toronto
Colonist, Of the death Of man from tast-
ing poison used in manufacturing brandy
from raw spirits conveys lis own moral:
At about Il o'clock, Thursday morning,
clerk in the employ of Mr.. Wright, IL
qlor manufacturer, at Brampton, left the
store for the purpose of manufacturing
quantity of brandy from raw spirits. He
took with him preparation used for this
purpose-by some called essence of BRAN
dy. The preparation was placed on the
table in the warehouse, and the deceased
Mr. Morris,) after preparing portion Of
the liquor, returned to tie store, and took
glass of ale with some friends from To-
ronlo. He had scarcely returned from the
store to his former occupation more than
five minutes, before the porter ran into the
store, in great alarm, exclaiming, "Mr Nor
rls has been tasting the essence of brandy,
aid it has killed him. On those present
running TO the spot it was found that the
report was too true; the sufferer had mad
vertently tasted few drops of the drug,
which is nearly allied to prussic acid, and
instant death was the consequence of this
unhappy mistake. An inquest was held in
the afternoon; but the verdict of the jury
was not given at the time the cars left Bramp-
ton. Mr. Morris was very we'll educa-
ted young man of highly respectable fami-
ly in GIoucestershire, England.

General News.

The people OF New York like an excitement and
1cM have one The municipal difficulties have been
god-send to the papers, but have played the deuce
with General William Walker, who came at bad
time Fernando Wood is the hero of the hour, and
the City Hall presents a battlefield more exciting
thin Rvas. Still poor Walker is run after by re-
porters and dagueneotype men who want his head
for their gaIlaries big fuss in New York means
very little save that the crowd have got new show
Some years ago, we in Charlotte a Frenchman
named Boncard, a rather dIsspated person, who was
teaching French Some year or two after. or per-
haps more, Boncard came to Wilmington, and we
believe stayed here sometime He SAID he was fe-
formed and steady, and so on How long he remain
ed we forget. for we paid attention 10 his move
ments but it does strike that he left under some
charge or other but the circumstances also forget
as we had forgotten that there even was such man
until in glancing over the last Hlllsboro' Recorder
We found the following:-
We see in the Chapel Hill Gazette notice of a
pamphlet purporng to be the dying confession of NJ
DeBoncard, Frenchman by birth, who came to this
country some years ago and protested 20 teach French.
He al this place short time, and is we'll remem-
bered by some OF citizens 1t is st ted that he
committed five MURDERS guilty Of bgamv in
three cases, besides robberies seductOns
and petty villanies." part of these crimes is said
TO have been committed in Wilmington. He was
finally executed in New Orleans for the murder of
Creciia Fornett his mistress, who for his sake had
murdered her own husband.
Boneard or he called himself, DeBoncard, atlri-
butes his career to Lottery Tickets, upon which he
spent his own money and then stole ard swindled to
get more to 60 the same way. Lottery gambling is
certainly bad enough, but we hardly think it could
make BCncard any worse than his own mean nature
had made him.

many interesting articles among which North Caro-
lima "lllustrated" by Porte Crayon" can net be
counted Oat of some eighteen pictures or illusra-

any particular reference to North Carolina The
rest are from Lossings Field Book Of the Revolution,
portraits of Revolutionary leaders not North Carroll
nians-n fact pictures that the Harpers had on hand
and had already used for other purposes.
Porte Crayon is gentleman of talent and of fine
taste, and do justice to any subject, but neither
he nor his publishers do justice to themselves in this
trumped up affair. The rest of the Magazine is bet
ter and is worth twenty-five cents. The North Caro-
lima part is worth nothing.

was carried on, was totally destroyed and dwelling

The loss is estimated at about SIS 500, of which &c.
500 is covered by insurance
