Mr.. RICHARD CoBDEN wrote from his retreat
at Midhurst, few days before his cmbarka-
ton for this country, to the Secretary of the Ma
tional Ballot Society, letter of encouragement
and counsel.
In this letter he "cxperimentally" alluded
to the common lot Of all Reformers-viz mis-
representation and unkindness from the stotu
quo-the let alone party. lie says:
watching from my retirement Mr.. Bright's
progress, l am struck with the similarity of the
ordeal he has gone through to that which un-
derwont in the earlier stage of the League agi-
tation the same Misrepresentation of his mo-
tives and misstatemont of his argument; tho
same affected horror his designs on monarch
church, aristocracy, and property, which he
now undergoes, I also went through and if he
should persevere for a few years, until his plan
in its main features, becomes law, as it assu-
redly will do, then he will experience, rs did -,
the pleasanter side of the ordeal. q It
is true that l am about to carry out the inten-

MECHANICAL TALK.-The boarders were
pleased to say that they were glad to see mo
back. One of them ventured a compliment,
viz: that talked as if believed what 1 said
This was apparently considered something un-
usual, by its being mentioned.
One who means to talk with entire sincerity,
I said, always feels himself in danger of two
things, namely: An affectation of bluntness,
like that of which Cornwall accuses Kent in
Lear" and actual rudeness. What a man
wants to do in talking with stranger, is to get
and to give as much of the best and most real
life that belong to the two takers as the time
will let him. Life is short, and conversation
apt to run to mere words
Mr.. Hue, think it is, who tells us some very
good stories about the way in which two Chi
nese gentlemen cOntrive to keep long talk
without saying word which has any meaning
in it. Something likethis is occasionally heard
ON this side of the Great Wall.
The best Chinese takers know are some
pretty women whom I meet from time to time,
Pleasant, airy, complimentary, the little fakes
of aattery glimmerng in their talk like the bits
of gold-leaf in eau-de-vie dc Dantzic; their ac-
cents flowing on in a soft ripple-never a wave
and never a calm words nicely fitted, but never
a coloIed phrase or a light epithet
| they turn the air into syllables so gracefully
that we find meaning for the music they make
as we find faces in the Goals and fairy palaces il
| the clouds.
There is something very odd, though, abou
this mechanical talk.-AtIantic Monthly.

A MODERN ADoNIs.-Upon our most fash
ionable promenade yesterday, an incident oc-
Cured which reminded us somewhat of the
classical story of Venus and Adonis but it
was ludicrous as the other was poetic. A fe-
male, rather young and not entirely unhand-
some, was seen following with rapid steps a
somewhat dilapidated specimen of the other
sex, and shouting, "Steve! Io! Steve! Steve p
But Steve heard not, OF did not wish to hear
orevery time she called he accelerated his pace,
until at length reaching Elm street, he suddenly
turned the corner and disappeared. She might
have warbled in his car the ancient song,
"Come back, Steven, Como back" or told a
tale of love that would thrill almost any heart
but his; yet, like Adonis, he the boredom
hated of encrcling arms and thought as he ran
from one he would escape the other. We arc
not sure, and therefore can not venture to as.
sert he was not right.

Oratoro of "Pensacola" " which is founded on North
American tradition and is rcplcte with incident and

be-a gentleman throughout every scene Every
point which was attempted was clearly made-n de-
tail 1t was complete, in conception just The read

orgnal but in all it superlativey good, if not
positively great. We have neither time inclina-

ask readers to dothemseves the justice to his

THE following matter was prepared for yes
terday's issue, but was unavoidably crowded
out. As THE PRESS" falls into the hands of
a number of persons who read no other paper,
we give it for their benefit.
Fire near house occupied by
a man named James Hart, located between the
Brighton House and Cumminsvillc, was fred
by an inccndiary night before last, but was ex-
tinguishcd without much damage. Suspicion
rests to some extent upon servant whom he
had discharged, and who was heard during
the day to threaten to set it on fire. The loss
will hardly reach $1OO.
Nan accidentally Shot.-Day before yester
day, about o'clock, serious accident occur
red near Cumminsville. A couple of men were
shooting at a mark, when one of them, named
Mearcy, while adjusting the target was shot
in the side and thigh, and wounded quite
badly. His injuries are quite painful, and will
confne him to the house for some time.
Dead Bodies Fomd.-A man named John
Kinch, upon the bank of the river, about six
miles above Newport, on Saturday last, found
kee which contained the dead bodies of two
infants-one of male child, which was per-
feet, and apparently about three months old
the other female, somewhat younger, which,
besides being otherwise considerably mutilated,
was headless. A jury was summoned to the
"Hay field Farm" on which the bodies were
found, by Justice Nigan, who acted in the ca
pacity of Coroner, which, after an inquest, rem
dered verdict of death by some means un-
known to the jury. They bore evident marks
of having undergone post-mortem examina-
ton, and were buried on the roadside near
the spot where they were found.

LAW REPORT.
SUPERIOR COuRT-

CONSTRUCTION OF WILL.-Cosbey and others
Us. James Clark and others, executors. Judge
Storer delivered an opinion in this case--a pc
tition filed to obtain a construction of clause
in the will of Daniel Lee. The testator di-
rects, that after the death Of his wife, his ex-
ecutors should sell his farm, in Sycamore
Township, and proceeds of sale to be paid out
in pursuance Of specific legacies to a number of
persons, as to whose right there is no question
The will then proceeds "I direct that the
remainder of the proceeds of the sale of the
aforesaid farm be equally divided, share and
share alike between the heirs of Samuel Cos
hey, my brother-in-law." The plaintiffs
claim to be entitled to the remainder of the
estate, in the hands of the executors, as residu-
ary legatees, alleging that they are embraced
in the description "0f heirs" The executors
state that they believe the testator intended to
bestow his bounty on the plaintiffs, and, if it
be legal, have no objection so to dispose of the
property.
The plaintiffs being then alive, and we'll
known by the testator, were not the " heirs" OF
Samuel Cosbey, as he was still in being, nor
could they at his death derive a title through
him--as he took no interest directly or indi-
rectly-but they were, nevertheless, the appa-
rent heirs, and may be all regarded as coming
within the meaning of the term.
The Court had no doubt that upon principle
as well as authority, they were permitted tc
substitute the word " "children /" for that ol
"heirs," in the clause in question, without the
violation of any legal principle or giving any
forced or unwarrantable meaning to the term
In so doing they were satisfied they were bu
carrying out and vindicating the testator's in
tention. A decree would be accordingly en-.

POLICE COuRT.-Judge Pruden returned yes
terday to his prosy round of duties, and dis
posed of a large number of cases of drunken
ness, assault and battery, &C., all of which
were without special interest Among them,
however, was one in which Mr. Charles Barras
was tho defendant. A fellow named Joseph
Brown, who was engaged in some capacity in
the store-rooms in the lower part Of the Opera
House, day before yesterday, found his way to
one of the upper stories, contrary to the ex'
press orders of the manager. According to
his statement he had been assaulted, and no
wished to have his wrongs redressed. Mr..
Bnrras, however, said that he found Brown
rather amorously inclined toward some scrub
bing women who were engaged in the building,
and ordered him out of the house. Later he
saw him practicing theatrical attitudes before
o looking glass in the ladies reception-room,
and gave, as an excuse, that he was looking for
a broom. 1t did not appear probable, however,
to the manager that any such article was to
be found in the glass, and he called an officer,
wno is employed about the building, to show
the aforesaid into tho street. GAS for the
charge of assault" said Mr.. Barras, "that is
simply ridi culous; the gentleman's face shows
that, for when assault any person generally
leave my mark" The Judge thought the case
had not been made out, and discharged it,
much to the chagrin of Brown, who vowed to
"carry it up"

ALLEGED TEMPORARY INsANITY.-A young
lady, of respectable connexions, whose husband
has been absent in California several years, was
before the Probate Court, yesterday afternoon,
an affidavit alleging that she was insane having
been placed on file by some of her friends. 1t
was stated that she had on one or two occasions
attempted suicide, while absent from the city,
and, after she had been brought back and taken
to her fathers house, had escaped, and in a
state of mind so detected and unhappy as to
create apprehensions for her safety. She is the
mother of fine little boy, about seven years
old, and is possessed of considerable property
in her own right. She was sent temporarily to
the Asylum.

SUICIDE OF A CINCINNATIAN IN CALIFORNIA.
A Cincinnatian, named William Mclaughlin,
who had been fer some time engaged at the
diggings on Frazer River, returned to Marys-
vile recently, quite melancholy, and committed
self obstruction by tying bag of sand, or a
stone, about his neck and throwing himself in
the Yuba River. This unfortunate circnm-
stance will be much regretted by those who
knew him here. No cause is assigned for the
sad act except long-continued pecuniary en-
barrassment.
