Escape Of the Duke of Norfoll.

The trial of the Duke came on. Thirty years
before this he had been the great soldier of Eng
land. He had always conquered by land or by
sea-for the services were not at that time d
vided-and especially had served under his father
at the great battle of Flodden, which so weakened
the power of Scotland that she could Eeyer more
cope on equal terms with her more powerful
sister. ==s
But all these services were forgotten; forgotten
also was the obedience, we may almost call it SER
Witty, displayed by this chief of the Howards to
the caprices and wishes Of the king. We wish we
could forget them too. for they are the only blots
upon his character. Out of an oyerstgained feel
ing of the duty of submission, he had acquiesced
in the execution of his two nieces, Anne Boleyn
and Catherine Howard, the wives of the tyrant
| who was now intent on his own destruction.
| With clingng to life, which was, perhaps natu-
raj at his years, he begged for pardon, confessed
| guilt where no guilt existed, in hopes of sottening
| the obdurate heart of his destroyer, and found
services, submission, confession, supphcation, all
| in vain,
On the 2sth of January an order was sent to the
| lieutenant of the Tower for his execution on the
| following morning. What gloom was in the
Dukes chamber that night we need not say; what
grief to find his white hairs dishonored his petition
disregarded his son murdered almost before his
eyes, and the hour approaching that was to carry
him to the fatal block. But there was another
chamber that night that was as full Of gloom as
the prisoners dungeon in the Tower. On stately
bed lay sufferer groaning with pain, and tor
mented, as we may suppose, with the upbraidmgs
| of an uneasy conscience. Fretful irritable and
| unsubdued, it was the King who was now wrest-
| ling with DEATH With trembling hands his wife
| administered the opiates recommended to soothe
his pain the page at the door counted the cries of
anguish without sigh of compassion ; and silently
the physician went through the ceremony of feel
ing the pulse, and could give prospect of recoy
ery Here were two men, the tyrant and the VIC
tim, both struggling with the terrible hour. Gray
dawn began to light up the turret tops of the Tow
er it also rested on the roof of the palace, at
Westminster. The early morn was to see the
Duke of Norfolk fall before the stroke of the exc
cutioner; but before that time q surer blow fell
upon the exhausted tyrant. A hurried noise oi
feet sounded at the prisoners door, the key is
turned, voice gives him the the King is
dead, and the Duke was saved. 1t shows how
completely these crueltes were the work of tht
individual King, that his decease was the sigma
for the abrogaton of law the sentence wa:
never carried into execution, and in peace anf
quiet the remainder of the emancipated prisoners
days were passed. [Blackwood.

New YORK Posr-oFFroE DEFALoATIoN.-T Gov
ernment seems to be in fair way to lose the entire
amount (si05 ,0O0) of the defalcaIion of the late
postmaster of the city of New York. After the
flight of Mr.. Fowler the Government attached the
property Of George Law and Gustavus "A. Conover,
who we're the sureties of Fowler in the sum of
SIS ,oOO The demand for payment was resisted by
these gentlemen, however, on the ground that the
bonds were void by reason of their not having been
signed by Oliver Charlick, as was pledged by Mr..
Fowler. To substantate this fact, a commissioner
was sent to Havana to obtain the testimony Of Mr..
| Fowler.
| Mr.. FoWler's statement has been received, from
which it appears that in requesting Mr. Conoyer to
| become his surety he mentioned the names of
Messrs. Law and Charek, and in requesting the
/ name of Mr.. Law he mentioned those OF Messrs.
| Charlick and Conoyer. Owing to the absence OF
Mr. Charck from the city, his signature was not
| affixed when the others signed, and the bond was
forwarded to Washington with only the names oi
Fowler, Law and Conover attached, opposite three
SEALS leaving blank space opposite the fourth
seal. This premature delivery was unauthorized
by Messrs. Law and Conoyer, and it would appear
that these gentlemen were keptin ignorance of tht
| incompeteness of the bond until the fact was dis
closed to them after the defalcation Mr.. Fowler
saws he did not think his sureties would ever b,
ealled upon as he considered he had propert.

Condition of the Press In New York.


"Pink," the correspondent Of the Charleston
Courier, gives the following items about the New
York papers:
wrote the other day respecting case in the
Courts, where the fact could not be established
that James Gordon Bennett was the proprietor of
the New York Herald. OF one thing am sure
Mr.. Bennett gets very heavy income from ms
paper, whether he be the proprietor or not The
profits Of the establishment for the last two years,
have ranged from S75 900 to $4,000 per annum.
No wonder, then that the editor and Proprietor
can live like a prince.
Next to the Herald, I think the Journal of Com
merce is the best paying paper in the city. Usu-
ally the partners divide 81 600 week, not allow
ing the money to accumulate in bank. The Tri-
bune think is worth perhaps $4,000 year, bui
then it is divided up among SO many persons-edi
tors, foremen, paper manufacturers, spectators il
coal mines and bank direetors-that no one person
gets much. Greeley, who does the most work
gets the least pay. His salary outside OF his inter
est, is $40 week, while Dana (the ungrammatleal
receives $50 a week.
The Times is beginning to pay very well. Ths
chief editor, Mr. Raymond, affords to live in fine
style, better, perhaps, than any of his brethren

The World, at one cent has sunk already ove
$37 000 but It continues to buffet the pillows OF ad

The Sun is not what it was. Its light has beel
considerably diminished, since journal four time
its size (the Word) has been sold for one cent. 1t
profits now do not exceed $4,000 or $4,000.
The Courier and Enquirer has also fallen into tn
scar and yellow leaf of declining life. Its attemn
to start an evening edition, called the Star, was
lamentable and disastrous failure, and involve
considerable loss. The Courier and Enquirer Is n
longer the peer of the journal Of Commerce
while one is going up the other is going down, a
though the latter has the State patronage.

1t is hardly necessary to refer to the talk on the
flags yesterday. Though there were late adyices
from England that is, the Persia's advices to the
27th ultimo--they were of disappointing nature;
an advance in cotton was expected The storm
accounts produced very little effect on the Liver
pool flags. However, the Persia is proyerbial for
bringing unfavorable intelligence. The political
advices have no influence, neither for veal or woe
There are two or three quotations for consols,
which are about as much regarded as the buzzing
of mosquitoes. The harvest accounts are deemed
favorable. They cause some depression on this
side. All information pertaining to breadstutfs and
provisions as received is decidedly unfayorable
A decree had been issued by the Emperor of
France raising the price of tobacco. Great coun-
try where the ruler can raise or depress the price
of greatly consumptiye article. Finally, the
Persia's intelligence adyices all round, had no
influence on the market. The great exchange
market continues against drawees of bills, buyers
of cotton restricting sales, and with an accumula
ting stock, buyers and operators do not seem in
clined to move-they appear TO be waiting for
greater facilities in placing exchange. 1t is mani
fest that we must have addition to the coin in
