A sSGuLAs FAsclNAT1oS.-An English paper
relates the following unaccountable occurrence:
s'one of the most singular instances in con-
nection with material thugs, exists in the case
of young man who, not very long ago, visited
a large iron mandatory. He stood opposite

its perfect, regular strokes. at first it was
beating immense Jumps of crimson metal into
thick black sheets. but the supply becoming
exhausted at length it only descended on the

,ently onsts motion, then he followed its strokes
with corresponding motion of his head; then
his left arm moved to the same tune and finally,
he deliberately placed his fist upon the anvil,
and in an instantit was smitten to Jelly. The.
only explanation he could afford was, that he
felt an impulse TODD it, that he knew he should
be disabled, that he saw all the consequences in
misty kind Of manner, but that he still felt the
power within above sense and reason-a morbid
impulse. in fact to which he succumbed, aud by

Mexican Negotiations.

The treaty Mr.. Butterfcld has in charge IS a
postal Arrangement, with some important CONNER
cial concessions, concluded by ourlate Envoy, but
which, owing to the disturbed condition of Mexl-
CO. could not receive the ratification of the Presl-
dents substitute before. This We alluded to last
summer. With this valuable instrument, when
secures weekly mail to every port in the Me1i-
can Gulf. with the coasting trade to American
tonnage, the messenger, Col. Burter6eld, is said
to have in charge another convention, which pur-
ports TO loan fifteen millions Of dollars to Mexico
three of which are to be reserved to pay that
amount of American claims against the Republic;
and private advices from the capital intimate tnat
five millions of the loan are to be paid to British
subjects, to satisfy, most probably, the monoPo-

been imposed ON poor, spoiled Mexico by British

We are unwilling to believe that the retiring
administration will attempt to foist so dangerous
precedent on the foreign relations Of the United

such negotiation, if concluded and approved by
the retiring President, will receive the cold shoul-

A MERCHANT CowHIDED BY A CALIFORNIA WID-
ow.-A few evenings ago cowhiding affair e1-
traordinary took place at one of the fashionable
boarding houses in New York. 1t appears, from
the Tribune, that there was some SO boarders,
including merchants with their wives and children,
and several clerks. Among the females was
charming ssCalifornia widow" about whom one
of the merchant boarders had put in circulation
some unpleasant reports. The Tribune says:
The lady paid no attention to the reports until
one of a more virulent nature than the rest was
circulated when she made up her mind to cowhide
the individual, and communicated her intention
to some of the other boarders whom she counted
as her friends. She had set the day and time at
the dinner table.
The day arrived, but for some reason the dinner
was later than usual an occurrence that caused a
more general assembiage Of the family. The bell
at length sounded, and owing to the ~lateness OF
the hour great haste was made by all to the din
ner table. About so persons were already seated
and among them the merchant-unsuspecting
merchant In few moments the injured woman
entered. She approached the merchant and de-
manded before the company a retraction of the
scandalous reports he had circulated, and an
apology.
Refusing to retract or apologize, she drew from
the folds of her dress strong cowhide, which she

So severe were the blows that his face was com.
pletely marked lengthwise and crosswise with red
lines Some of the ladies screamed, and were
sorely agitated, and many of the gentlemen re-
monstrated; but the lady paid no attention, but
still dealt her blows vigorously upon the head Of
the offending merchant. At length one of the gen.
tiemen interfercd and wrcsted the cowhide from
her hand The victim was removed to his room,
where he was confined several DAYS, in conse-
quence of the mutation of the physiog.
