THE PRICE OF A KIss.-We translate from the
Courier des Eots Uni8, of Nov. %, the following
little speculation, truly French, light, witty and
amusing.
"What is the legal price of kiss, when the par
ties have agreed on sum by previous contract?
Seven years since, remember a magistrate at
Louisville, Kentucky condemned young fellow to
pay married lady So damages for a kiss he had
taken As 1t is not to be imagined that kissing is
cheaper in Kentucky than in New York. we must
believe that the valuation of the Louisville magis-
trate was so ow only because the kiss taken in
an adrot and delicate manner. James Sutherland
! of New York, would have come off equally WELL il
he had shown himself eqaay expert with the Ken
lucky gallant But, having attempted to snatch
kiss from Mrs. BOlman, No. II James street in tha
absence of her husband, he performed his task in
manner so rude, green and awkward, that the LADY
justly indignant, made complaint before Justice
Voorhees,. The Justice, after hearing all the pros
and cons, condemned the defendant to paw the fair
plaintiff $50, by way OF compensation. Tins, bv
the latest decisions, the following are the legal
prices OF this delicious article: The kissing Of a
married lady if adroitly managed, S5; if awkward.

RETURN OF MR.. vOORHIES-CONSERyA
TIVE SENTIMENTS

The Indianapolis Sentinel makes the following
statement touching the return of Mess-s. Voorhes
and Mcdonald, (who came to Charlestown as cnun-
sci for Cook and their report of their treatment at
Charestown and the proceedings of the Court there
The Sentinel takes occasion to express some very
sound opinions.
Hon. J. f. Mcdonald and Hon. D. W. Voorhies
returned home from Charlestown on Friday nj ght
last. The public already advised of the convic-
tiou of young Cook upon the indictments for muir
der and nsurrectiOn and the sentence of the Court
that he should be hung on the 18th of December
Messrs. Mcdonald and Voorhies desire us to state
that from the time of their arrival to their depar-
ture, they had every attention and kindness shown
them by the citizens of Charlestown and vicinity
and the old-fashioned Virginia hospitality, for which
the people of that portion of the State are distn-
guished, was everywhere extended to them. They
speak of Judge Parker as a courteous gentle
man, upright and able, and that be administers
his court with great dignity and strict impartaity
The trial of the prisoners was fair much latitude
was allowed IN the defense could be, and the Vir-
ginia lawyers allotted to the prisoners made all the
defence that the cases were capable of-manifesting
IN their conduct of them both ability and earnest
ness. The prisoners themselves admit the fairness
of their trials, and the humanity and Kindness with
which they are treated. The promptness of the
trials accidental, the court being in session at
the time of the outbreak. This fact, however does
not initiate against the fairness of the trials nor
is it presumable that any different result would
have been reached, if they had longer been de-
layed.
Inc evidence against the prisoners was most di-
rect and conclusive, and, with the execution of
Cook, they were arrested while violating the laws
and committing the offences for which they were
convicted and are to be punished. The prisoners
can offer no justification for this wicked attempt to
incite servie insurrection. They had no personal
wrongs to avenge. The act on their part was vol
untary, and they voluntarily assumed all the conse-
quences of a failure They can make no appeal for
sympathy which should find response Whatever
may be the moral responsibility of those who hold
and teach the 'irrepressble conflict doctrine for
the acts of these misguided men, that is no apology
which the prisoners offer for their crime There
is too much morbid sensibility in the public mind
for criminals, and too much willingness to rel ak
| that maintenance of law and justice, upon which
rests public peace, security and good order. Our
pity for those who voluntarily disregard law, should
not lead any so far as to be willing that criminals
should go unpunished for their crimes We all owe
different duty to society. We have not doubt
but that the sober verdict of the people of the
try will justify the punishment decreed to the Har.

The STEAMER GREAT EAsrERY.-It is at last
decided that the mammoth steamer is
notwithstanding her great size by no means
exempt from the ills that ordinary ships are heir
to. The directors having decided that the vessel
should 60 to Southampton, there to receive the fin
ishing touches necessary to her completion she left
Holyhead harbor on the third instant. In steering
clear of the Welsh coast, the Great Eastern put out
far enough to sea to give those on board taste of
life on the ocean wave 1t was supposed that the
steamer would ride upon the waves without rolling
or pitching like ordinary vessels, but this antcipa-
ton was doomed to disappointment On the 4th the
chairs and tables began to be unsteady to reel to
and fro like drunken man, and be at their wits
ends. Then the crockerv followed, and cups sau-
GERS and dishes rushed furiously to destruction
against the pantry walls and were dashed to pieces
like potters vessel. About five o'clock in the
afternoon giant wave came surging on towards
the bows, and struck the Great Eastern with a
loud boom, sending its green waters in heavy
lump clear over the forward buwarks, and drench-
ing the men on deck. Thus did old Neptune bap-
tie the gigantic steamer, exactly two wears from
the day on which Mr.. Brunei baptized her on the
Thames.
1t was also proved by this trial trip that the
Great Eastern will require three hundred tons of
coal day, to make her go at the rate of fifteen and
half knots an hour. So, on the whole, it nav be
questioned whether her gigantic size is not after
all, the chief and only merit of the mammoth
steamer.

THE MOORISH REPLY.
PRAISE TO THE One GOI

To the Charge dA6aires Of the Queen of Spain:
We nave received your letter of Yesterday (l6th
OF October), and we have understood its contents:
and we are much astonished at all you have stated
therein, for it is not in accordance with that
which you had told US in our interviews with YOU
nor in your previous letters.
We have been empowered as we told Won To
settle those demands that you mentioned in your
letters OF the 9TH September and 5th October; and
we further agreed, in our letter of the 18th of
Rabea, the first that you should occupy the high
ground requisite for the defence and security of
your town, but not for any other view You
had stated to us, in conversation, that YOU sup
posed that high ground might even be within the
marked boundary. We are not acquainted what
is the site you call Sierra BuIlones but if it be
the place which persons have told us it is, viz,
about three hours journey from Ceuta, we have
no authority or power to make such concession
Such Il demand must be referred to the Sultan
and a suitable term named to enable us to refer
the matter to his Majesty, who is at Maknas, and
that his Majesty has time tC consider it and to
reply.
We do not conceal from you our extreme surprise
that you should have written to US as YOU have
done, after the friendly manner we have acted-ac-
cedlng to demand after demand, on three different
occasions, solely with the object Of satisfying you
Should you break off relations and declare war
as you have stated, because we did not cede that
which we have no power or authority from the Sui
tan to grant, we shall protest against YOU tor all
the consequences that may happen now and here
after.
We have to repeat, however, we adhere to the
engagement we have made to fulfil the demands
mentioned to you in our letters, but not according
to the construction you choose to put upon our
words in your letter, for we have no power to
make such concessions. Peace!

ORIGIN OF THE FeANErNG PRIvrLEGE--To
the Editors Of the National h,telfgencer In
the twentv-third volume of the Parliamentary
History of England is the following very curious
anecdote concerning this privilege. 1t occurred in
the debate the Post Office bill in the wear 1860
" Col. Titus reported the bill for the settlement
of the post office, with the amendments.
"Sir Walter Earle delivered proviso for the
letters OF all members of Parliament to 60 free,
during their sittings.
"Sir Heneage Finch said it was poor mendicant
proviso, and below the honor of the House
"Mr. Pyne spoke also against the provso. Mr.
Brinkley, Mr.. Boscawen, Sir George Downing, and
Serieant Charlton for it; the latter saying: 'The
Councils letters went Free
"The question being called for the Speaker, Sir
Harbottle Grimstone, unwilling to put it, say
ing he ashamed of it: nevertheless the proviso
was carried and made part of the bill, which was
ordered to be engrossed.
"The Lords subsequently disagreed to this pro-
viso, and it was ultimately thrown out
cat a subsequent period, however, both Houses
did not feel it below their honor to secure to them
selves this exemption from postage"
