United States. Kosxutii's letter is dated
Pittsba-g, Pa, Jan. -, 1852, and he thus
speaks Of the kindness shown him BY oar peo-
pie:
sDEAR Sra: You have heard what recep-
ton have met with in America. They have
bored me with triumphant entries. and invita-
tons. and addresses, but by submitting To this
ANNOYING part of my mission, had the oppor-
tunity Of drawing their attention to their for
eign policy. have spoken tO the masses, and
with the leading men with those now in Office,
and with those who are to go into Office; and
though am not sanguine at all, can tell
Won. in strictest confidence, that have succec-
Cled already. 50 Gar, that even the present Wing
Cabinet has given orders tn strengthen the
present Mediterranean squadron, aud that in
case Of new rising, America will go the same

public attention to the state Of Turkey and
Turkey the Sultan have become standing

The END OF 1--WE have fair weather at
last the sun shown out brightly yesterday
(rnemorable) morning, and "all nature smiled, +"
as the poets have it. Men smiled toc-every
body rcjuiced at the close of the long siege Of
damp, rainy, gloomy, and depressing period Of
wet That we are not completely drowned
out, is simply because forty days of continuous
rain do not necessarily make a deluge; though
in this respect we are more fortunate than
many, for a large part of the South has been
disastrousy flooded, and the Western prairies
are full of water Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and
Missouri have suffered most.
The 27th instant was the .fortieth rainy day
in April AMI May-just the length of ancient
Noal's experience in hydraulics-and though
at the cnd of this period we do not look upon
u similar scene ot desoation and ruin, yet like
him we regard the abatement Of the waters
with satisfaction. This long and remarkable
"term" is however, not without precedent, as
we learn from the following memorandum in
Watson's Annals of Philadelphia:
May, 1856, vol. 2, page S61.
Remarkable for the absence Of the sun for
two weeks, and constantly damp or rainy
weather, which continued for forty-two days,
being all the time cold northeast storm, and
no light of the sun.'-N. i. Jor. C0n., Sdt-

EDUCATION OF JoHS WEsLET.-Peculiar
care was taken Of John Wesley's religious ed
ucation by his mother, which, with the habit
ual and fervent pcty of both his parents, and
his own surprising preservation, at an age
when he was perfectly capable of remembering
all the circumstances, combined to foster IN the
child that disposition which afterwards dcvel-
oped itself with such force, and which produced
such important effects. At an early age. John
was sent to the Charter House, where he suf-
fered nnder the tyranny which the el'lcr boys
are permitted to exercise The boys of the
higher forms were then in the practice of tax
ing their portion Of meat from the younger
ones, by the law of the strongest; and during
a great part of the time that Wesley remained
there small daily portion of bread was his
only foOd lie strictly performed an injunc-
tion of his fathers, that he should run around
the Cliarter-House green three times every
morning. Here, for his regularity, application

master. DIR. Walker; and through life he re-
taincd SO great predilcction for the place, that
nn his annual visit to London he made it Gus
tom to walk through the scenes Of his boy
limbs School Days Of Eminent Hen.
TREATIES Nor YET RATIFrED.-The Cass-
Yrisarri treaty, reported ratified by the Nj
caragua Legislature, was, by last accounts,
still under consideration by that body, Presi-
dent Martinez having returned it for amend
ment, objecting to the occupation Of the transit
route by the United States troops under the
conditions proposed in one of the CLASSES. The
feeling in Nicaragua against the treaty was
very strong, and the French agent was exert
ing his influence against its ratification. In
New Granada the Cass-Herran treaty is not
yet ratified. Whilst some American politicians
consider the treaty as virtually defeated by the
alterations made in that instrument, the New
Granadian representatives look on it as virtu-
ally adopted in its original integrity, namely
bv an acknowledgment of the right of full sat-
isfaction to individuals for losses sustained du-
ring the Panama riots. 1t is insisted on by the
New GranaGians that the clauses which related
to the acquisition of territcry by the United
States government in its executive capacity
the right of guarding the Isthmus transit, and
others Of a similar character, were extraneous,
and would involve New Granada in entang-
ling political complications with other foreign
countries.
SILAs WRIGHr's WEALTH.-The daily
Wisconsin. edited by Cramer. formerly of Al
bany speaking of the wealth Of the most emf
nent American statesmen, concludes his list
with the following references to Silas Wright:
Silas Wright, with his estate Of $4,000, was
really wealtllicr than many others are with
500, 900. He owed no man anything; he
met his obligations with the utmost prompt
ness, and never indulged in any luxury that
he could not pay for. He was model Of
Republican simplicity. 1t should also be un-
tlerstood that he was not mean in saving
money.
There was something glorious in witnessing
a great statesman like Silas Wright, never
asking pecuniary favor-or even accepting
one, yet possessing only an income that could
support him and his wife in frugality. When
he was elected Governor of the great State Of
New York, he was known to be too poor TO
furnish his house. His rich friends 60 togeth-
er and without his knowledge made up sub
scription which was rendered to him as a gift,
in order to furnish his mansion. This he res
pectfuily but kindly declined.
