EsA- Much has been said about the Knight
hood of Judge Halliburton, better known as
Sam Slick, of Slickvile" The Philadelphia
Press, ono of whose editors is familiar with the
details q English affairs, gives the following
history of this individual
Judge Halliburton, formerly of Nova Scotia,
too we'll known as the author of The Clock
maker, or the Sayings and Doings of Samuel
Slick, of SlickviIle," and other popular works,
principally relating to British North America,
has been returned to Parliament in England,
and will probably be a strong aid to Lord Der
by's Administration. He has been elected ".
P. for the borough of Launceston, in Cornwall,
which is so much the property of the Duke of
Northumberland, that the 43S electors whom it
contains, cut of a population of 5000, invaria-
bly, return whatever nominee his Grace pleases
to submit to their favorable attention. He en-
tiers Parliament at rather an advanced age
somewhat about 60, we believe-but is an ex-
celent speaker, shrewd and ready and will
probably distinguish himself in his new sphere
of action. The New York Times says that he
has been made g. c. B.. or something of that
sort, by Queen Victoria, which will entite him
hereafter to be called Sir Samuel. He is not
6. c. B., knight Grand Cross of the Order of
the Bath,) but simple Knight, created by Let
tiers Patent, and his designation is Sir Thomas
Chandler Halliburton"

YANKEE INQUIsITIvENEss.-The Newport Meas

:" Duncan Pell, Esq, has just commenced the
erection of new fence in front of his mansion
on Mary street, in this city. On one of the posts
is the following, in manuscript:
"' The proposed fence is to be 60 feet long
81 feet rails and coping; to be finished this
week Mr.. Eaton is the carpenter, and Mr.
Fludder the mason. The work is to be done by

the sequel:
L" 1t was on the first night of the to- be dry
month of May lS59-the month of flowers and
bamy zephyrs, passional attraction, green peas
and other afinities-that Duncan Pell lay buri-

rapping aroused him. 1t was continued. Rap,

pounding away at the door, As Pell looked
from the window, the form cried aloud:

R83 A lady entered Broadway stage dal
or two since, and took seat beside an elegant
ly dressed man, upon whose third finger was
large brilliant of great cost. She was judgl
of diamonds, and sat admiring it for some min
utes. On alighting from the bus at Tiffany s
whittier she was bound she found that he
pocket-book had been stolen while she sat il
the stage. Upon describing the elegant gen.
tleman, he was at once set down as the opera
tor, but the bus had gone on, and among hun.
dred in the street, the lady could not have pick
ed it out moment after she left it. In despair
she mourned the loss of her cash, about $50
and abstractedly feeling in her empty pocket
her finger caught a ring which did not belong
to her. Drawing it out, it proved to be the
identical one she had seen and admired, which
had slipped from the finger of the rascal wher
he lad his hand in her pocket. Tiffany told th'
lady it could not have cost less than $500.

Miss T----, of Washington
he New York Tribune SAYS /:

The New York Tribune says
Miss T., known on the turf at Paris as the fair
Amazon of Washington, was so brilliant at the
races on her horse, jet black save a white star
on the forehead, that her appearance was hailed
everywhere with admiration and applause. A
more lovely person cannot be imagined she
guides playfully the most redoubtable courser
Beelzebub, the name of Miss T.s horse, is so un-
tameable and ferocious, that no rider can mount
him, no groom guide or stall him. He has al
ready killed an Englishman, named Thomas
Dixon, who undertook to groom him in the
stable. Rarey was poweress to tame this ter
nble animal. Three persons only can approach
Beelzebub'; the first is Miss T., herself To her
Beelzebub is as plant, gentle and affectionate,
as q King Charles spaniel He follows her, he
fawns- On her, and kneels that she may mount
him. He neighs when she approaches. He is
proud and happy to carry her. He paws, he
caracoes, he curvets; he never tries to unseat
her. He obeys her word without ever exhibit
ing the least impatience. Miss T. reciprocates
all the affection which her beautiful horse ex-
hibits, and loves him as friend
9he two other persons who can approach
Beelzebub are two young ladies of sixteen and
eighteen years, Jenny and Kitty Wilkinson
But Beelzebub only suffers them and shows
them no attachment Jenny and Kitty act as
Srooms 10 oeeizeouoi they iced and curry him
and walk him in the morning. Jenny the young
est of these sisters, slight looking child whose
womanly figure is not yet developed, is dressed
as groom, and follows Miss T. every time Miss
T. pays visits on horseback, for no other person
can hold Beelzebub by the bride when his mis-
tress dism0unts For the rest, Miss T. is a
charming young person, and has no need to
ride Beelsehub to be admired. She is a hand
s,'ne girl of the happy age of fresh, brilliant,
',ni nerthful looks.
Her figure is beautiful without being slight
she has dark. luxuriant hair. large flashing black
ayes. beautiful arms, pure complexion, clear
and isir; her chest well rounded, her hand
small and delicate as that of princess painted
by Velaquez, her foot is neat and very firm, her
voice clear and sonorous. She breathes all the
life and fire of 2l summers. Add to this that
her soul is worthy of this outside-a soul noble
and devoted heart passionate with generous
ideas. She has much cleverness and great
courage.
This young lady, this American, who brings
to her husband dover of six hundred thousand
francs, will soon marry one of the most inteli-
gent of the French generals She will follow
her husband to Italy. She will make what may
be facetiously termed her nuptial campaign
Beelzebub will go along. The soldiers admire
this fine woman, and the fine horse.

INDIANS EXAMINING THE g SWIFT WAGoNn-A
correspondent who has recently crossed from
the Pacific on the overland route, says: The
Indians of the Cherokee nation are very anxious
to have the route through their territory. They
call the mail coach the swift wagon A dep
utation from the heads of the nation have wait
ed upon the Great Chief Butter6eld of the
swift wagon, as they call him, and asked him
to run the wagons through their country. They
are rich and great slave holders, owning more
niggers then their neighbors in Arkansas. Their
country is beautiful one. They are jealous of
the whites, fearing-it is probable-that they
will be driven from their homes. The Canaan
ches and interior Indians, look upon the swift
wagon with great curiosity and wonder. They
have shown no malice or ill will as yet. Some
six hundred of them lately stopped the mail
coach and surrounded it. They wished to see
the swift wagon and what WAS in it, They
detained it five or six hours, until each had in
spected it-looked under the seats-turned over
the mail bags-felt of them-looked at the
wheels, poles, harness and trappings, to their
satisfaction, with many an interjection Ugh p
ugh 7 They then told the conductor to go on
with the swift wagon here many an ugh =
was grunted with satisfaction but, ugh no
raitroad-no railroadr and all grunted hearty
ugh! of appreciation and comment"

RopBrvo BRIDE OF HER BEp-The St. Lo

RoBBING BRIDE OF HER BED.-The st. Louis
Democrat is responsible for the following:
"At Layers boarding house in St. Louis, an
unusually merry wedding came off on Tuesday
night, and the dance was prolonged till past one
in the morning. The bride and groom then re-
paired to their apartment, but-horribie visu =
the bed and bedding had been sacrilegiously
stolen from the nuptial bedstead Some vim
dictive wretch had gained felonious ingress at
the rear, and effected robbery unparalleled in
the history of matrimony. It is coniectured that
so fell vengeance could only have been devised
and executed by some disappointed lover of the
bride.
"Lives there man with soul so dead
Who never to himself hath said,"
The scamp who stole that bridal bed
Deserves to live and die unwed,
With maidens old TO punch his head.

AN OLD ANEcDoTE CoRgECTED.-Sir Walter
Scott and his lady, it is said, were one day
walking across common. 1t CHANGED that
near them some lambs were skipping and play
ing most delightfully."-. Scott remarked, "what
charming sight" observing at the same time
that the poets had always most appropriately
taken the lamb as the emblem of innocence
Yes" said his wife, 81 was always very fond
OF them-tcith mint sauce" This story rests
know not on what authority, but it was told to
snow how utterly uncongenial were the tastes
OF o'r Walter Scott and his lady. 1t is evident
however, that what she said, if she ever said it,
was ment only as a joke-the love of which, as
Is wei known, was prominent trait in her

DANGERS OF PHoToGRAPHY-Ma Mademoiselle x,
young heiress of Lyons, was lately affanced
by her parents to a gentleman she had never
seen. Familiar only with the hand writing OF
her lover, she received, one day, nicely sealed
package, containing an ardent love letter, and
a daguerrotvpe likeness. Reading first the
epistle, with which she was charmed she un-
sealed the well enveloped accompaniment; and,
what was her horror at finding only the likeness
of a wrinkled old man Believing herself to be
the victim of a vile bargain, like too many of
her sex in France she concealed her agony for
some days, till on a visit to her parents, she at
last opened her heart to them. She showed
them the portrait, which they Immediately re-
cognized as venerable uncle of the young gen.
tleman, who (they happened to know had his
daguerrotype taken at the same time and place.
1t was at once explained. The amorous nephew
had enclosed the wrong likeness in his letter.
But, by this very possible blunder, the despair
ing young lady had been very nearly driven to
suicide. Beware, lovers, who are having your
likenesses taken. Beware, ladies, as 10 the

kossUTH IN SARDINIA.-A letter from Turin
says; k"ssuth, of whom no one has heard in
England for some time, or even here, is secretly
al work IN Sardinia, where he is ncognto, and
holding communication by means of emissares
with the Hungarian portion of the army-one
third OF tn, whole, and the very troops which
formerly defeated the Austrians under his an
thority, and which have been removed to Italy.
in order to keep them far as possible from
their native land. Here they have been frater-
nizing with the Italians through the instrument
tality of Kossuth, and probably will revolt in q
body at last. Already there is division and dis
sension between the Austrian and Hungarian
commanders, and that is another reason whici
accounts for the tardy movements of the Aus
trian troops

LAUGA BOYS, LAUGH.-Dr Griffiths, when
President of Andover Theological Seminary,
convened the students in his room one evening,
and told them that he bad observed that they
were all growing thin and dyspeptic from a
neglect of the duty of laughter, and be insisted
upon it that they should ge through company
drill in it, then and there. The doctor was an
immense man, with great amplitude of chest,
and most ministerial manner. Here" be said
to the first, "you must practice; now hear me )
and bursting into a sonorous laugh, he fairly
obliged his pupils one by one, to join, till all
were convused. THAT will do for once" said
the doctor; :" and now mind you keep it up"
The Shasta courier., 1859-07-09

THE PERMANESCE OF WEALTH.-Take the sim
gle fact of its alleged uncertain tenure and tran.
STORY character. In old times, when men were
all the time fighting and robbing each other
in those tropical countries where the Sabeans
and the Chaideans stole all a mans cattle and
camels, and there were frightful tornadoes and
rains of FIRE from heaven, it was true enough
that riches took wings to themselves, not unfre-
quently in very unexpected way. But, with
common prudence in investments, it is not so
now. In fact, there is nothing earthly that
lasts so well, on the whole, as money. A mans
learning dies with, him; even his virtues fade
cut ofremembrance but the dividends on the
stocks he bequeaths to his children live and
keep his memory green.

LO NDON N
CLUB HOUSE GIN.
TO THE PUBLIC.

TN S CELEBRATED GIN-pretending to
Il nothing but what it is, viz: pure and un-
adulterated article, and assuming no artificial
merits Of what it is not, some of its rival imi-
tators do-alter five years of public approval
and very extensive sales in California has been
pronounced by the public to be superior, not on
y as beverage of general use, to any other ar
ticle competing against it, but is
UnrivaIIed in its Medical Efficiency
in most cases of complaint. To persons travel
ing in these days of rapid transit from East to
West North to South, who are constantly chang
ing their water as well as their climate; who are
drinking, indeed, dozen kinds of water in ev-
cry twenty-four hours, and each draft contain
ing some property acting in chemical antagonism
to the preceding one, thereby causing an unnat-
ural degree of excitement to the stomach-it is
positively and absolutely necessary to use a
counteractng agent. From the fact that the
"London Club House Gfnv
is prepared expressly to meet such exigencies,
and to act as we know it will act, as an anti
dote, confidently prescribe it as the very best
article in the country. The name of " Aromatic
Scheidam Schnapps" has never been attached
in any way TO this article. In first presenting
the
"London Club House Ginn
to the public, my aim to give them pure
and unadulterated article of Gin, and to call it
by its right name. The success attending its
introduction aud extensive sale in California is
sufficient guarantee of the high appreciation
of the article by consumers.
Various parties have from time to time put up
and shipped to California an article which they
call "Club House Gin My Gin, which has
gained such reputation in California, is brand
ed on the cases,

Walkers March.
BY sKERB.

Fling free to the tempest the blaze of our idol,
The star of the first for ambition fell,
Spread it wide to the wind, fitting shrine of the
bridal
Where Couqnest weds Rapine, the chosen OF
hell
Like the meteor of tenor (7) it floats Ger the
mountain,
While spirits congenial unite meath its fold
Brave hearts, who IL quaf deeply from life's
crimson fountain,
To the triumph of Walker-to glory and gold
Like vultures that swoop where the red tide is
streaming,
Like wolves to the careas they draw to the
host
From Atlantic's fair shore, with its myried life
teaming,
To the gem-sparkling sands ofthefar western
coast
From the SHOWS of the North, from the South's
broad savannah,
The wild steppes of Texas, the bare hills OF
Maine,
The outlaws of virtue convene meath the banner
Whose dark folds float freest DER Anarchy s
reign.
But not all alone do they welcome their standard.
Lol where yon dark train, on the wings of the
air,
Sweeps on to their meeting whose sable brow'd
vanguard
Is stamped with signet of wrath and despair,
No loved trumpet marshals, cleaning swords
rattle,
No flag waves above them, nor plumed leaders
guide
But where those armed warriors are mastering
for battle,
En silence and gloom these array by their side.
'Tis the gathering spirits who, eager for glory,
The red path Of conquest un6aunted have trod,
To pour out their hearts blood in sacrifice CORY,
Proud martyrs of freedom on the altar of
Fraud
From yon Isthmus, yet smoking with outrage
and slaughter,
From Mexiques sands red with the blood of
the brave
From yon isle in the blue sea, bright gem of the
water,
Where heroes lives gushed DER the chains of
the slave.
They gather once more, at the call of the demon
Who pointed to fame while he crushed them to
DUST
To marshal those slaves. with the birthright of
freemen,
Who have how'd to the fetters of carnage and
lust
And far, where the hosts to the dread conflict
muster,
Where the clouds fly thick and the red
death fire glows,
In the gore and the groans of the lost Filibuster
Shall these sad spirits soothe them to peace
and repose.
