The Washington Star, of the 25tb,
says
The President Of The United States
has been enjoying unusual good health
during bis sojourn at Bedford, and e1.
presses himself greatly pleased with
his visit. This brief relaxation from
official cares has given to him a buoy
aucy Of spirits remarkable for one Of
his age, and one having in keeping
such important trusts. He contem-

TRADE BErwEES BosroN AND New
ORtEAss.-The Boston Commercial
Bulletin says
There Is no point in the business
Of Boston where the general effect
Of the numerous Western railroads
is 30 palpable as in that of the
packet lines between here and
New Orleans. The trade reached
its eliminating point about the
year iB46 At that time John o.
u. Minot, Esq, Whose name will
always he associated with the best
days of the New Orleans bnsiness)
had a line Of packets running from
Long Wharf, Messrs. Allen "
Weltob one from Rowe's Wharf, and
John Fairfield Il Co, occasionally
sent out a ship from Lewis Wharf.
u was not unfrequently the case
TRAIT Mr.. Mipot loaded and cleared
three and four vessels month, in
the months of August and Septem-
Der, and frequently loaded two and
three at a time.
Now IL is difficult to ill an ordi-
nary ship in four and five weeks.
This change in trade is not owing
TO The falling of in the general bus
mess, but because the railroads
carry freight now almost to New
Orleans, and the packets are dc.
pendent upon ice, stone, coarse
freight. and whatever ia limited to
the exact market OF New Orleans.
The latter will be largely increased
when the line Of steamers begin to
run. and the New Orleans merchant
can then make all his purchases at
our market, and ship them on equal
terms with New York.

The SUICIDE or SBINDLER.-
Bsitbazar Shindler, whose suicide We
published yesterday, was young man
Of twenty-four years Of age, and 10
supposed to have been led to self.des.
truction from grief at the desertion
Of his wife, whom he had passionately
loved, but who left him TO live with a
German musician in this city. He
met an old man named John Swigle
on the levee, at half past eleven o'clock
Tuesday night, and given him tho
direction Of his father in 81. Louis,
asked Swipglo 10 write concerning
him. lie then asked the old man to
come aboard the ship Congress, at the
foot Of Hospital street, as bo wishes to
zee friend who was on board. Shin.
dler went on board, leaving Swigle
on the ganway, and then taking off
his hat and coat, be mounted tho buI.
warks Swingle called to him, but
he paid no heed, and instantly leaped
into tho river. Swigle called for help
and then sat down and cried like a
child. The mate Of the ship ran on
deck, but Sbindler did not rise, nor
has his body been rcsoovered as yet.

lie informs tho public that "all over

Baton Rouge, caught anegrc AIMED Law
renee, belonging TO n, A. Castle Esq., Of
this city. The hoy had run away from his
m ss,er the day before. On capturing him,
the man tied the neero's hands behind

Of Francis Bonsilvin, white hey, about
thirteen years Of age. Francis was charged
20 bring him 70 this place by the river,

shortly after leaving the mouth Of the
bayou, Francis Gays the negro got mp, and
made towards him, threatening to turn
the stiE over II he did not land, and put
him ashore. The young man says he re-
fused TO land aud succeeded In getting the
negro TO cit down again. The negro, made
a second attempt, aud attempted to kick
the lad In the river, whereupon he seised
the gun and shot him. The load lodged
in the right aide near the shoulder, and
death must have ensusd almost imme-

LET IIlm M TsEHAseEp.-Tbe Press

LET UIa M REHAseED.-Tbe Press
of the North, IL oil on blaze Of ex-
citement, at an announcement
made In the New York Leader of
the 25th ulto., which runs some.
what in this wise :
There IL now no further use in
conoealing that A. w. Hicks, who
was ostensibly executed for piracy
on the 18th ult., is still alive though
In q dangerous state, but likely to
recover the full use of his faculties
aud limbs. The sight Of bis left eye
IL gone. and his left arm aud leg
continue paralyzed; but, apart from
these injuries it would appear that
he has suffered nothing" II is said
that Hicks was pulled Mp only u
feet, and suspended only III min
utes, being afterwards restored by
the electro-obemical bath.
Premise, that the statement IN
true-and IL does not wear this
compile xion---the law should claim
the william and rebang him. The
degree of responsibility resting on
the shoulders Of the men who have
galvanized into life this monster,
can be leisurely determined. To
our mind they should he hanged
with him. We have had enough
Of Hicks the Pirate" If he should
be called back to life, IL will be n
serious reflection on the Press itself,
because il will argue. lack Of in.
veptiop on it's part; ability to Gre
ate pirates at pleasure, to feed the
nav Of the multitude.
There in no doubt. the story of
his galvanizstion, has originated
in the brain Of some sensation wri.
ter for the mommoth press. Per
, haps the biographer Of Hicks-wbo
is doing his life mp, that his only
brother may gain an honest living
from the sale Of IL, has had a hint
thrown him, that such a story
about his coming back TO life, would
furnish . vastly romantic finishing
chapter and cause the book to have
a better run. Verify, if there were
special interfereuces Of Divine
Providence in this, ss in the day OF
Sodon; the people who get up such
denominations, would be swept ou'
of existence.

TuE Social AND Moral CosDI.
TON or THE JApANEsE.--From an
interesting letter Of Il. II. Dana, Jr.,
now 10 japan, to the New Nork Eren.
ing Post, we make the following ex.
tracts
The social and moral condition Of
the Japanese, presents curious prob
lens, and what seem TO us 20 be sno.
males. That sense Of property which
suggests peatness in the person and
the house, the table and the bed, is to
be recouciled with an absence or ig-
norauce Of modesty uuequaled among
any people who have made the 6rst
steps In civilization.
We are TO understand how IL is
that q people who in al classes punish
adultery in the wife by death or per.
petual ignomiuy, and in the upper
classes guard the honor Of a daughter
with the sword, should take their
wives-yes, even the gentry and no
bles--from the jorogas. No people
are more neat 10 their persons, bath
ing daily-the poorest Of them-in
winter as we'll as summer, and warm
baths ss are frequent here as drinking
shops in England and America. Yet
tho sexes battle together, and tho
baths and the platforms on which they
dry and dress themselves are M open
to the sight Of every passer.by as our
butchers shop. Not only is the veil
between the sexes rent, but the veil
which protects other deceusies Of life.
The maxim seems TO be that whatever
is necessary TO DO done, or is known
to exist, there bc no attempt to con.
ceal.
Again, while you are relieved from
the offensive sights Of abandoned wo-
men who beset the streets of English
and American cities, the jorogas are
legalized and made as respectable as
possible. There, foundlings or the
daughters Of the poor or unfortunate,
or needy, or less scrupulous, are bound
as apprentices, and are educated ac-
cording to the style and degree Of the
establishment, in the necessary learn
ing and in the accomplishments as at
boarding schools. From these places
were the prices over the doors furnish
the only restrictions upon the admis
sion of all men, are to come many Of
the confidential servants, and, in ca
ses not afew nor disreputably esteemed
the wives aud mothers Of the better
classes.
