when message was brought to my chambers
in the temple from woman said 10 be dying
in st. Bartholomew hospital 1t was Mary
Strugnell; who, when in a state Of intoxica-
tion, had fallen down in front Of n carriage, as
she was crossing near Holborn Hill, and had
both her legs broken. She was dying miser.-
ably, and had sent for me TO make full con
fession relative to Wilson'S murder Arm
srongs account was perfectly correct. The
deed was committed by Pearcc, and they were
packing up their plunder when they were start
led by the unexpected return of the Armstrong;
Pearce, snatchng up a bundle and port
,manteau, escaped by the window she had not
nerve enough to attempt II, and erawed back
to her bedroom, where she, watching the do
ings of the farmer through the chinks Of the
PASSAGE concoctcd the story which convicted
the prisoners pcarce, thinking himself pur-
sued, too heavily encountered for rapid flight,
left the portmanteau as described, intending TO
call for it in the morning, if his fears proved
groundless lie, however, had not courage to
RISK calling again. ana made the best OF ms
way TO London. He was now in Newgatc un-
der sentence of death for burglary, accompani-
ed by personal violence to the inmates Of the
dwelling he and his gang had entered androb-
bed. took care to have the deposition of the
dying wretch put into proper form; and there
suit was, after great deal of petitioning and
worrying of ofauthorities, full pardon for both
Armstrong and his wife. They sold Craig Farm,
and removed to some otherpart of the country,
where, never troubled myself to inquire
Deeply grateful was TO be ableat last to wash
my hands of an affair which had cost me so
much anxiety and yexation; albeit the lessonit
afforded me of not coming hastily to cenclu-
sions even when the truth seems, as it were,
upon the surface of the matter, has not been, |

Of calm Autumn day; the sun had just sci
behind the distant hills and left Il glow in the
sky which bathcd the whole scene in gold
through the open door and windows the young
couple might have looked out upon one of the
sweetest scenes that human eyes ever gazed
upon but their gold was all within, and they
thought of nothing but each other. The de-
| lighted husband had noticed when he sat down
to his little supper table, that it was graced BY
pair of gorgeous China tea pots, which struck
him as altogether out of keeping with the styl,

nanny home indeed would be
This changing world Of ours
If men would only pluck the sweets
Which cluster on lies flowers
# each unto Ills neighbors said
Let us our anger smother,
And look with plying eyes upon
The frailtics ofa brother
That If we diner in our faith,
II will not prove the night
If fnnerv words come 10 our lips
And we fall out and fight.
No no. but IL would rather be
Eepronch unto our name
And bring upon the Christian cause
The burning brand of shame
What though the coat which we may wear
Be ragged, soilcd, and torn
And we are greeted by the world
IA he who's humbly born.
Yet should we not rctaliate,
But take them by the hand,
And show that noble, generous deeds
not clo,hing-makes the man.
When angry words rise from our lips,
We should from them refraini
And ponder well before we give
An crring brother pain.
Remembering what the spirit says
aFrom ont its home in heayeni
That they who never here forgive
May never be forgiven.

FRoM CntNA.-In the memoranda Of the
schooner Page, which arrived Sunday from
Japan, is the following, from which it would
appear that the Chinese, frightened at the
warlike demonstrations Of England France
have concluded to come to terms:
The steamer Yag TIE, with news from
China TO April 10th, reports that the Chinese
nave concluded to pay the English and
French Governments their expenses and to
allow Ambassadors in future to row them
selves up Whatever river they wish, either
fresh or saIt--to have no war.
The above is the latest inteligence from,
China. By the ship Starr King, with ad-
vices from IIongkong to April 7th, we have
the following:
The preparation of the allies for the war
continues on grand scale. The war sbins
Adventure, Scout, and Simeon, and several
transports, had left Hongkong for Chusan

ST. LOUIS CORRESPONDENCE.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-. April Goth

oT. LOUIS, Dlo, April 29th
Heenan is now the subject of the eulogies
Of every bar room and not few private
narors. His praises are shouted over the
trimming glass, and softly and sweetlv ex-
messed in the elegant boudoir. The hatters
ore preparing to honor the pugslstic hero to
some novel title" and the haberdashers in
some symbolic "choker." The ladies will
soon wear Heenan on their feet, and Heenans
around their necks. They will have Heenan
lelts and Heenan stomachers, and Ieenan
caiters and Heenan hoops. The streets
we're full of people talking about the fight
and it was almost an impossiLility tc get to
the Republican office for the crowd that as
sembled around the bulletin board, reading
the Dispatch containing the particulars of the
fight Nothing is said about the Charleston
Convention, the fight having thrown it in
the shade.
The news from the Charleston Convention
shows that there is disposition on the part
fine Southern fire eaters to choke off Doug
las and the Cincinnati Platform.
Strange as it may seem, the Washington
Constitution has declared in favor of Doug
las, and says it will support him. 1t is now
also reported that Jeemes Buchanan is in
favor of the nomination of Mr.. Douglas
oMte a change having come over the spirit
If his dream. 1t is evident that the old
man has come TO the conclusion that it is far
better to support Douglas than to have the
party swamped in November next.
Mr.. Hunter of Virginia, is regarded as the
compromise candidate, after few ballots
have been given and no choice being made
But Hunter is not the man for the North
west. and, should he be nominated, will not
receive the support that would be given to
Mr. Douglas. The Northwest las become of
some importance and demands some respect
from the other States, and no candidate but
a man from that section will receive a hearty
support
As soon as | ascertain who the nominee is
] will inform you Immediately by express.
Ny time is up and am compelled to close

AH.-The Bulletin gets the following in
formation from the Secretary of the Ameri-
can Legation in China: Speaking of Chinese
names, the All which so often figures on our
police records seems to be not name, but
simply particle TO indicate that the name
which follows it is that of person. They
have no words exclusively used for the name
Of persons. Hence, every man bears the
name of some thing-of some object in ma
ture or work of art. The hearer would net
know that man was referred to, when his
name were called, unless the All precedes it
The Qua which is used to follow the names of
persons is equivalent to our word Esquire,
and is a token ofrespect and courtesy.

CHINESE IN BRITIsH CoLUMBrA.-The indi-
cations are that in a short time the mines in
British Columbia will be overrun by Chinese.
Not long ago, the Hebe arrived at Victoria

about seven vessels were either on their wav

from the following extract of New York
