A YOUTHFUL RoGUE.-A short time since an
italian lad, aged Is years, appeared OF the resi-
dence of Commodore Reed, in Clinton Street,
and stated that he was in great distress. The
lad, who was almost destitute of clothing stated
that his name was Felice Creachi, and that he
had a wealthy father residing in Leghorn.-
Mrs. Reed became deeply interested in the boys
recital, and took him in and furnished him with
clothing, and offered him home. He had not
been there long, however, before he stole a
pocket-book and several other articles which be-
longed to his benefactress. He was detected,
but, after making some fair promises of amend
ment, he was forgiven. He afterwards INDUCED
in his thieving propensity and after filing his
trunk with clothing, he was handed over to Mr.
Sloan, the superintendent iofthe newsboy's lodg
ing house, and shortly after his arrival there he
robbed Mrs Sloan, Of $25 after which he made
his escape.
Information was given at the central police
station, and on Thursday evening Lieut.. Hen
derson arrested the rascal. Upon searching his
trunk, piece of black cloth, which he acknow-
lodged as belonging to Mrs. Reed, was found;
also gold thimble and several ornaments, the
property of his benefactress. The ungrateful
rogue was sent to the house of refuge yesterday
morning. He bids fair to be follower in the
footsteps of his notorious countryman, Cancemi.

A FILIBUsTER JoKE.-The sailors of the fill
buster schooner Susan deserted before the vessel
got out of the bay. There were none but lands
men on board, except the captain and it is ira
ditional at sea that it is not easy to convert
landsman into a sailor at short notice. The sea
dogs have phrases of their own, which are Greek
to the others. To o5yiate this defect Captain
Maury took novel and ingenious expedient.-
Every man on board, we suppose, knew how to
play cards. and the captain, taking advantage Of
this skill, tied card to each the ropes of the
vessel. The order then ran somewhat in this
fashion i" Haul on the ace of hearts Let
go the king of diamonds!" Delay on the
deuce of spades +" &c. By this means the ex-
temporised soon got the hang of the ropes, and
affairs went on pretty smoothly.

so, that on the 9Th Of August a celebration of the

bers of both houses of Parliament, and TIE most
distinguished engineers and scientific men. The
engines, and both screw and p~addle-wheelS were
SET in motion for the first time, and the result was
satisfactory in the highest degree, and far beyond
expectation. Lord Stanley proposed q toast of
success to the Great Eastern, and painted in glow

Burnett, the engineer, and Scott Russell, the bull
der, were toasted, but the former was absent from

SOME TRUTH.

Senator Douglass recently made a speech at
Pittsburgh, from which we take the following ex-
tract.
the Constitution, and I will sustain it as long as |
live. There is no doctrine so dangerous to liberty
as that a man may break a law when he doesn't
like it. 1t is as bad at the South as at the North.
slaves from Africa. but they follow your example,
and it is your fault that they do it. You have set
the example in refusing to catch their fugitive
slaves. There is but one line of duty, that is to
enforce the laws as we find them on the statute
books"
There is q point in the above which anti-slavery
politicians will find it rather difficult to get over
for if it is right for the people here to break q law
which they don't like, the people of the South
have certainly as good a right to break q law
which doesn't suit them.
