The DrAru OF RsxpRASr PEALr.-

The DEArB OF RsMpRASr PEALE.--
Our readers will read with regret
the announcement Of the death of
the venerable artist, Rembrant
Pealc. lie was almost the last
connecting link between our own
and Revolutionary times. Since
the death Of Gilbert Stuart he WAS
the only artist who had painted a
portrait of Washington from life,
and up 60 the last month he has
been reproducing copies ofhis ia
nous aud invaluable work. lie re-
tanned his faculties to the last, and
his enjoyment Of art never dimip'
ished. The last time we met him
was before Church's Niagara
and his appreciation was as keen
and vivid and his praise as gener
GUS a. if he were still . youth. His
decease will be mourned by q large
circle of friends. He was in the
SD year Of his age.--PAiiadelphic

A SrAxrsm Gsm or ras FrRsr Wa.
rEn.--The Epoca, Of Madrid, Of the
18th ult, at hand by the last mail,
quotes the following with great gusto
from Ei Espanof de Ambos Nun
dos. ....
The Morning Chronicle, a paper
usually well we'll informed in regard
TO French movements, says that the
object Of the visit Of the Emperor Of
the French to the Queen Of Spain, Is
to urge the adoption Of some energet-
10 measure for the suppression Of the
slave trade. II will be observed that
il Is the Emperor himself who has un-
dertaken this mission. The same pa.
per says that the journey Of Lord
Granville TO Spain has the same OBJ
jeot, to exact, supplicate, demand the
suppression Of this great scandal. II
this be true, we hope the Spanish
government will speak out with all
It's energy, TO both missions, ,ha. ],
may be seen who is really responsible
for the traffic, and treat rs il deserves,
the unworthy hypocrisy which insist.
on accusing Spain, when it is known
that the United States are alone 70.
sponsible for the traffic, and that to
them the application should really be
made to suppress il. The occasion is
good one for the Spanish govern
ment, once for all, to put an end to
this persecution, which originated in
a cowardIy tolsrstiou of and miserable
Difference to the United States.

SNAKE Another exhibition of tho
skill of the mongoose in killing snakes took place
on the Melbourne IIippodrome on the Oath Do
ccmher. Tho snakes were all large, in full yigor
and most tenacious of life. Tho instinct Of tho
mongoose displayed Immediately on being
placed in view of thcir quarry. Without u MOI
mcnts hesitation they each made for their rospec-
tive snnkcs head, fastened Mt ONE, and in spite Of
all tho writings and conyulsions of the reptiles,
maintained their grip until they had annihiatcd
the power OF using tho poison fnngs. Some unbo-
levers amongst tho spectators yentured to i'm
pugn tho venomous properties of the snakes,
which Gro then and there removed, examined
before witnesses nnd found not wanting. Ono
gentleman took handful of them homo with
him. but whether for culinary or scientific purpo-
scs is not stated. The relentless hatred .borno by
the mongoose to tho snake was admirably cxcm-
piicd when tho dead reptiles were removod.-
Both the iehncumons followed tho man who took
them away. and sat with nosc erect and ears
prieked Tor some time, in expectancy Of another
feast. Neither of tho little creatures was tho
leost hurt although between them six or eight
yonomous snakes were destroyed. - Australian
