THE world is pretty generally agreed in
the opinion that q man is justified in tax
ing the life of his wife's seducer. In or
der to his justification, however, he should
act under the conviction that the party is
in reality seducer, not mere paramour
He who continues to live with detected
demirep, has little right to complain at
the multiplication of her omors; and to
overlook one act of unchastity is to part
with the title to take extreme vengeance
on another. 1t is probable that, in the
recent affair at Washington, the act of
the homicide was prompted quite as much
by an unwholesome thirst for notoriety rs
by desire to vindicate his own honor;
and the circumstances of the case bear
the appearance rather of melancholy
farce, than an act Of dignifed justice
But if justifable, it is not advisable, GER
tainly, in every case, for man to kill the
lover of his wife. If he intends to live
WIFI nef llleGNdTu, HG mtlSJ uO 81 upon
the presumption that it was through
weakness, and not through wickedness,
that she was overcome; and in that state
of things the punishment of the other
party is necessary, and his absence de-
sirable But if, on the other hand, he
looks upon her as wicked, and is deter
mined to put her away, why stain hi
hands with human blood? 1t is not ;
subject of public sorrow in the case il
question, or in any other, thatthe detected
offender is destroyed. He who embark
in the perilous trade takes his life in hi
hand, and voluntarily exposes himself t.
alltheregularand irregular consequences
but it does not follow that because h.
merits death, it is either advisable, or nc
cessary to the honor of the party injured
to inAict it; and in most cases it will b
found that in doing so he damages him
self.

DEATH OF RoBERT WALsH.--Letters by the
Canada bring us intelligence Of the decease of
this well Unknown gentleman, at his residence, in
Paris, on the 7th ult. His disease was dyp-
liberia. Until within a very brief period of
his death Mr.. Walsh continued his active hab-
its, rising at five O'Clock in the morning, and
devoting the day to literary labors. We take
from the letter of our Paris correspondent the
following passage relative to the sad event:
"Robert Walsh, formerly Consul General for
the United States at this capital, expired on
Monday last, at his residence, in the Faubourg
st. Honore, and his body this morning was
carried to the Church Of ST. Philippe, to receive
the last rites of the Remish Church, Of which
he was q member.
"In Paris, almost his adopted country, for a
period of twenty-five years Mr.. Walsh has oc-
cupied a distinguished position in political So
ciety He was at once one of the Oldest resi-
dent Americans in this city, and the most gem
orally known in French circles. He died at
the ripe age of seyenty-six years, having re-
tanned his Intellectual powers undiminished to
the Philadelphia North American.

as appearance indicated, was about to make an
end Of her. He was excessively greved at the
prospect, aud out of pure desire to be employed
