Suicide of Henry Wm. Herbert.

The New York Evening Post is rather severe on the memory of this well known author.- That paper says:
 He left behind him letter, showing that he was not in sound frame of mind, Of suicide ever is) and that, for reasons too we'll known to his acquaintances, life had become to him burden more than he could bear.
 The man who has thus dishonorably term- mated a not very honorable career, was the eldest son of the Rev. William Herbert the Dean of Manchester, England, and through him inherited the blood of the noble English houses of Pembroke and Percy. He was born in 1907, and graduated at Cambridge in 1829 In 1881 he came to this country for reasons which have never transpired, but which are supposed to have materially affected the intercourse which subssted thereafter between himself and the rest of his family. He taught Greek in MT. Huddart's school, in the neighborhood of this city, eight years and since then has been fer tile contributor to magazines. and the author of several popular novels and sporting books His works on the wild game and field sports of this country are among the best books of the kind evee published. His treaties on the horse. published last winter, is the most elaborate work that he has left behind him. He was a very accomplished classical scholar, and pos sessed an uncommonly wide range of nforma- tion, gleaned from every department of itera- ture and from extensive personal observation. He had also capacity for literary labor which was marvellous. Not long after his arrival ip this country, he married very attractive lady in Maine, who has since died. We see by his letter that he married again, about three months since. He was uninfortunate in his habits and temper, and it is apparent, from the letter be has left behind him. that. in the last hours of his life, he was the victim of both. he resided at place which he named the "Cedars," near Newark, purchased for him by his friends in England, and settled upon him without the power of alienation.

A Tale of Horrors.

Gov Melville, of Mississippi is charged by the FlckSburg Southron with having pardoned out of the penitentiary a man named Dyson, who had assassinated another man named Nelms, for which he was simply sentenced to the prison for fifteen years. That paper says of the criminal:
 " He waylaid his victim, with whom he had deadly feud; brought him down at the first shot, and then, emerging from his hiding place, taunted his living victim with words of insult and reproach, and finally concluded by placing the muzzle of his gun to the boIy of Nems and firm" second time. This produced in stant death, and so close was tho gun to the victim that the flesh of the murdered man was burnt by the explosion. Having completed the work of slaug ghter, he deliberately mounted his horse, rode to the house of NelmS, called his wife ou.. informed her Re hal murdered her husband, and directed her where to find his manged corpse!
 Dyson is d blood stained, blood thirsty, incar- nate fend tie is uot d man, but terocious tiger, and Governor Melville had no more right uD turn such beast loose upon the con- muiilty than he has to open the cage of a whole caravan of tigers. His antecedents are well known, too and they should have forbidden all hope of executive clemeney. The murder of Nelms was not his first taste of blood. He had previously, in a base and cowardIy manner, murdered a lawyer named Moss, of De Soto county, by shooting him in the back as Moss rode from bim. He had murdered three of his own negroes, and one of them in manner so horribly appalling as to cause the death of his own wife. This case occurred at his own table, and the victim of his iendish rage was a woman. Taking offence at something the wo- man did, or omitted to do, while waiting at the table, he rose, drew bowie-knife, and, with a single blow, ripped her open. His wife swoou- ed, and when she awoke to consciousness he had cut the negro's heart out, and, with it upon his knife, he thrust t in her face! She swooned again, and the result of her horror and fright broughton convulsions, from the effects of which she soon diedi''

Ing Tn the enhanced price of the commodities Will tolerate an expenditure of SlO0,000OO0 much more patiently than one of S5OOOOOOO when each one has to pay his ascertaned share directly from his own pocket Economy here must be procured by vigilance among the con stltuency. As long as the constituency are in- different on this subject the representatives will be carried along uuresistingly in the vortex of extrsvagance.
 Another objection to the present system is the large expenditure necessary in the present mode of collecting the revenue. in pavinc the army Of employees engaged in the present rev. ehue service m building costly structures in Varlons paris of the United States, and in main- tanlng custom houses which do not nav tber own expenses.
 Upon this point we would call attention +o the following facts The direct cost of colleoting the revenue from customs in the last fiscal year ending June 30, 1857, S64,l71,O ,O34 O5. was S3, ,552,359 50 employing three thousand and eShty-elsht officers. This Is independent of the cost of the custom houses and revenue cut terS, the lntersst upon which would largely in- crease the sum.
