DIR. CHEEvER's LECTURE.-Rev. Dr. Chee-
yer of New York, delivered the closing lecture
of the course before the Mechanics Associa-
ton last evening, at Mechanics Hall, on "The
Eloquence and Patriotism of Lord Erskine."
There was very large audience, considering
the weather. The lecture was one of the
ablest, most brilliant and instructive that our
citizens have had the opportunity of hearing.
1t occupied an hour and threequarters in the
delivery, and was listened to with the
most marked attention as the speaker
portrayed in mastery style the strong
points in the career of that eloquent and dis
tinguished advocate of human rights, in Eng
land, Lord Erskine. Commencing with his
birth, in 1850, he carried the audience through
his history, to the periods of those memorable
triumphs at the bar, which have won him such
universal fame, as the defender of the liberties
of the people and the right ofjuries against the
usurpations of the courts and the crown.
The illusions, in the course of the lecture,
to some of the distinguished doughface politi-
clans of this country, as contrasted with men
of the stamp of Erskine, were well put, and
well received by the audience.

% We knock under and give up; we are
dumbfounded, and don't know what to say.
We have, first and last, had many hard things
said of us, many cruel things, and many un-
grace we could, to much vituperation, and
have been called all sorts of hard names but
we did not dream that it would ever come to
this. The New York Times of yesterday says

Think of that To be called an organ of this

THE WASHINGTON TRAGEDY is a sad COM
mentary on social life in the Federal Metropo-
lis. The parties occupied as high position
as the average of persons attached to families
of public men in the city. Yet the grossest
criminality existed among them, and had so
existed for an unknown period. By a train of
fortuitous circumstances it is brought to light
and similar circumstances may expose crime
as great in circles as little suspected. The
result is, the public morals of the city are i'm
peached, and even the national fame is dis
graced. There is probably no more dangerous
place in this country than Washington, to either
man OF woman who does not possess chastity,
sobriety, and integrity of the sternest character
We regret to see certain journals of general
respectability not only paliate the crime of
Mr. Sickles, but even justify it. We acknowl-
edge the provocation to have been very great
perhaps as great as could exist-but we can
not countenance the idea that man may take
the law into his own hands and punish whom
soeyer he may deem guilty of its infraction.
There is no safety to person or property but
under the egis of the laws, and he who does
not acknowledge and practise this, may well
be regarded as dangerous citizen.

PRESENTATIONS. - The members of the
juvenile Sabbath School connected with the
Park Street Church, of this city, to the num-
Der of about seventy-fve, visited the residence
of their pastor, Rev. Chester Field, on We'd
nesday afternoon last, when the class of which
a little daughter of Mr.. Field, ten years of age,
is member, presented her with an elegant
copy of the Bible. The presentation speech
was made by little girl of Mr.. John Q. May
nard, in behalf of the class, and Miss Field re-
sponded in an appropriate manner, expressive
of her thanks for the gift After partaking of
a collation., the remainder of the afternoon was
spent ina social and agreeable manner, gener-
ally, by the little folks.
A little son of Mr.. Field was also presented,
on the occasion, with a beautifully bound an
nual, by the members Of his class.

JUDICIAL DIGNITY IN FLoRIDA-A queer
Judicial proceeding has lately come off in Flor
ida. Judge Pearson, one of the Associate JUS
tices Of the Supreme Court of Florida, was alb
sent at late session of the Court in Tallahas-
see, and we understand that Chief Justice
Baltzell issued writ and placed it in the hands
OF the Sheriff. directing him to proceed to the
residence of Justice Pearson, arrest him, and
bring him before the Chief Justice. The
Sheriff obeyed instructions-went to Judge
Pearson, and told him his busir IS, whereupon
Judge Z. very quietly told him he could order
nm 70 prison for contempt, but would not do
so under the circumstances, and requested him
TO tell Chief Justice Baltzell he would come to
Tallahassee at his convenience. We should
be glad to hear more Of this novel proceeding

Mr.. Editor: Dear Sir On reading an ar
ticle in your paper of the 28th of February, on
Tobacco Chewing" it brought home a fact
to my mind, which has induced some to de-
sist, and might still induce others, if chewers
generally knew with what adherence they are
approached by some who do not use the
weed !"
In the Spring of 18-, was located in bust
ness in the town of W, one of the most
prospering towns in the Commonwealth. NV
circle of associates was small, and whenever
new conner arrived in town, took pains to
seek him out and cultivate his acquaintance, if
it was worth cultivating. At this time there
was vacancy in one of the counting-rooms of
the renowned s. Manufacturing Company,
which was filled by young man, whom
shall call c.. AS soon as c. arrived
here, / sought him out and found him to be an
affable, Intelligent young man, and of prepos-
sessing appearance. He was first-class ac-
countant, and man in whom the town took
apride-in fact, he was just such man as
came up to my standard, and, of course, was
admitted into the circle of my friends. Our
friendship soon ripened into intimacy Months
rolled on, and nothing occurred in the least to
interrupt the regular course of our fellowship
NOT even the fact, that, in the meantime,
had taken into partnership young lady Of
las this is another subject will drop i'll C.
had been an old tobacco-chewer, but had aban.
doned the habit previous to his coming to w.
Alas, for poor c., his propensity for the
vile stuff was so strong, that, in a weak mo.
ment, his resolutions gave way, and the ac-
cursed habit was renewed with more vigor
than ever before. Here our friendship ceased.
for would sooner approach a skunk than a
man whose breath is polluted by the vile odor
from the tobacco quid. Mr. Editor am but
one OF thousand such. OBSERVER.

MARRIAGE ExTRAoRDrNARY.-At the close
of the exhibition of the Arabian giant, at the
Theatre, last evening, Charles Hersey, Esq,
was summoned to meet an exigency caused by
the unexpected arrival of the bride expectant
of his Highness, from Montreal The mar
riage ceremony was to have been consumma-
ted in Boston, but it was prevented by "cir-
cumstances beyond their control" The bride
groom, Mr.. Derouth X Goshon, was born in
Asia, is twenty-one years of age, weighs four
hundred and seventeen pounds, and is by pro-
fession an engineer, as we learn from glimpse
at the marriage certificate. The bride, Miss
Celestia N. Townes, is native of Montreal,
twenty-four years of age, of modest physique,
and weighs one hundred and fifteen pounds.
We do not learn that the exhibition is to be in
terrupted by the interesting event.

ITALIAN ExILEs.-About sixty men, from
the prisons of Naples, are now on their way to
this country, and may be expected to arrive
soon. They are banished by the King. The
idea of a European monarch sending prisoners
to the United States may not meet the popular
will of our countrymen, but no prejudice should
exist against the unfortunate exiles. They
are not criminals in the popular acceptation of
that term. They were imprisoned for "politi-
cal offences" which means that they were too
arden&lovers of liberty to suit the atmosphere
of Naples. Some of them have been lying in
loathsome dungeons four or five years, and
none of them less than half of that period
There are among them, doubtless, men of re-
fnement and intelligence, who cannot fail to
become valuable citizens of our Republic. We
trust cordial welcome may be extended to
these unfortunates on their arrival upon our
shores

A HORRIBLE MURDER.-A fiendish murder
was perpetyated in Cohoes, Tuesday night, by
one Michael O'Brien, an Irish workman in
Simmons Axe Factory. O'Brien was in the
habit of drinking freely, and when drunk, of
quarrelling and fighting with his wife. Last
night high words and sounds of scuffling were
heard proceeding from his house, but they had
been so frequent before, that they attracted
little attention and no interference. After
otsIrTsuay morning Some oI ure nCIgnpors
coming to the house, found it all quiet and no
signs OF any living person about it. Pushing
open the door they beheld horrible spectacle.
OBrien's wife lay dead upon the floor hacked
and mangled with savage brutality. Her head
had apparently been cut open with an axe or
hatchet. Her throat was severed with deep
Jagged wound, looking as if made by the stab
OF knife. There were deep indentations
and bruises on her-breast; the ribs broken in,
as II by blows from club. Both arm bones
were broken, and the corpse otherwise fear
fully mutilated.
The murderer tfor her husband can hardly
be doubted to be guilty of the crime) has dis
appeared. No traces have been found of him.
and he has doubtless sought safety in flight
The officers are, however, diligently engaged
in terreting him out

SINeULAR.-Ten days since, a lad of ten
years, residing in Mendon, had fall and drove
a small wooden shaft into his thigh. The in
jury was not considered serious, and no ply
sician was called. Some days after, the boy
complained of pain in the back, and soon
swelling, the size of hens egg, made its ap-
pearance near the backbone. Dr. Allen, of
Woonsocket, was called and Ianced the tumor
on Wednesday. 1t discharged freely, and
among the matter he noticed dark substance
which, on examination, proved to be piece of
the boys trowsers, which had been forced into
the body by the shaft. Thus the shaft, which
was supposed to have made only a shallow
wound, must have passed nearly through the
body ; and it is remarkable that in its pas
sage, it did not rupture some vessel and cause
instant death. The lad is now doing we'll

The GREAT EASTERN STEAMsHIP.-The
London Times of the 18th ult. has the follow
ing item relating to the mammoth steamship
Great Eastern
Yesterday the first step towards prepar-
ing this vessel for sea was made, by hoisting
in the main shaft of the paddle engines-one
of the largest and finest specimens of forged
iron work which has ever been completed for
steam machinery in this country. The weight
of the whole mass was few hundred weights
under forty TONS Measures had been taken
to ascertain if depositing such mass of dead
weight on the extreme edge of the deck made
any difference in the vessels trim, but not the
slightest alteration was perceptible. To-day
the rudder weighing twenty eight tons, will
also be removed from Mr.. Scott RusselPs yard
and placed in a barge alongside the Great East
ern The present main shaft is the fourth one
which has been made for the colossal engines
of this vessel. The first three were failures
but the last one, made by the Lancefield Forge
| Company, near Glasgow, is, as we have said,
the finest specimen ofwrought iron work of its
kind that has ever been produced in this Or any
other country.
| 1t is not probable that the other works ne
cessary for fitting the vessel for sea will COM
mence before the end Of the present month,
when the contractors will be bound under pen
alties to have all finished in five months from
the time of commencing operations"

LARGE SLAVE EXODUS FROM Missouri
Seventy fugitive slaves from Missouri, passed
through Grinnell, Iowa, on the 21st of Feb,
on their way to QSeen Victorias dominions.-
They had heard that Missouri would shortly
become Free State, and concluded that their
services would not be needed much longer,
made up their minds not to put any impedi.
ments IN the way Of making her free by re-
naming; They said that they had worked for
White folks great many years for nothing,
and thought it was about time to be doing
something for themselves. They were well
provided with shooting irons to defend their
liberty against Democratic kidnappers, who
claim that people have no rights which white
men are bound to respect

Captain Kruse, ship-master, some weeks
since, entered first-cass carriage at the Lime
house station of the Blackwell railway. on his
way to London, and had scarcely seated him
self, when well-dressed man entered the same
carriage and took a seat opposite The train
was no sooner in motion than Capt. Kruse's
fellow passenger addressed him, and said !:
There is some dirt on your face-some black /;
allow ME to wipe it off" Capt. Kruse nodded
assent. The stranger advanced tSwards him
with handkerchief in his hand, and put it on
the face of the captain, who Immediately be-
came insensible, and did not return to state
OF consciousness until the train reached Lon
don, when he found himself alone in the car
rage and missed his pocket book, containing
