Qncen Victoria,
From the ambiguous language of the Lon
don journals, it is impossible to judge OF the
exact value of the reports in circulation rela
tive TO queen Victoria.
IT is, in fact, only physical difficulty which
has superinduced, in her majesty's case, de-
gree Of melancholy that nothing not even the
delightful intercourse with her family, can
overcome! Has the death OF the duchess OF
Kent revived in the grand daughter of George
the third train oil thought which has more
than once engaged her attention since she
came to the throne of Great Britain.
To speak more clearly, is it true, as some
alarmed Presby already murmer, that
the queen is not very far from Icing CONVEX
ted to the Catholic faith.
Our neighbors on the other side of the chan
mel urge these questions with so mnch persis.
tence that we may ourselves refer to the sub
ject without being accused of any act of i'm
propriety
The fact itself, independent of its mere dog
matte value, is vastly important poll icaly ;
since the British constitution imposes upon
the Sovereign and Protestant faith, and the
conversion OF queen Victoria would be equiv
alent to an abdcaton of the crown.

The 1nrnnitx of roIIx Frlseh.


This unfortunate woman, whose case was so
long pending i'll the coarts, and attracted so
much attention in legal and medical walks,
has not yet been removed from Sing Sing pris
on to the Insane Asylum at Utica, but il is
expected she soon will be. 1t will be remem
bered that she was convicted, in Genesee coun.
ty, in August, 1859, of the murder, by poison,
Of her little daughter, Frances, a pretty child
nine wears OF age, and that she was indicted
also forpoiSoning her husband, and another
child.
She has been an inmate of the prison hos
pial for a long time, and the peculiar fits of
epilepsy, or Of an epileptiform character to
which she has been subjec. ior many Yeas,
have REQUIRED at intervals, with increasing
violence. She is quiet and does not require
confinement but is regarded as insane. The
inteiig gent Matron of the prison says that cher
reason has not returned to her for one instant"
In the face Of much local prejudice and
scepticism, those eminent and experienced
ply sicians and superintendent of the insane,
DR.. George Cook, of Canandaigua, and DIR.
Edward Hall, OF Auburn, threw the first salts
factory light on the mental and physical all
ments OF this wretched woman, and supplied
in some degree at least a solution to the I'M
natural and revolving crimes with which She
was charged. Science and skill turned 10 the
mind partially unsound and affected by pecu.
liar female maadies and weaknesses, for the
explanation OF conduct otherwise unnecessary,
so extraordinary and so atrocious. Many good
and kind persons protested tibet no sane wife
and mother would murder her offspring with
out some well hefped motive or reason to i'm
pei her. Treating her as a perfectly rational
person, it was well nigh impossible to believe
her guilty. Regarding her as a woman par
tially--and when affected by certain passions
and instincts-insane, the key to her sad and
SHOCKING history is furnished. Even those at
first the NEST backward in believing her any
thing short of a being totally depraved, feel
relieved i'll contemplating her case in the as
pect in which it was presented to. Governor
Morgan by DIR. Hall, who concluded his
report to him by stating that had attention
been earlier called to her peculiar mental and
bodily in6rmities, "she would have been re.
garded as an object of pity and compassion,
instead of horror and AVERSION"
Humanity has to thank Governor Morgan
that this poor woman fills a ward in some hos,
pital or asylum, instead of passing over the
scaffod to Il murderess's grave.

The Dog In the Sky.
The following martial ode, which we tax
from Vanity Fair. has the true ring of ste
joined TO the staccato of drum and trumpet :
What are you, celestial RACER,
That, around the welkin ring,
Worries poor old URsA-MAJoR,
With speed bewildering!
Are you playful, are YOU SIRIUS,
Ra6id bloodhound, fierce for prey,
Ready in your thirst delirious
To lick up the Milky Way!
l. for one, fast believer
In the astral signs and types,
See, in you the great Retriever
OF our wounded Stars and Stripes.
Hank the crashing,
Hank the gnashing
CannonS boom and warriors cry!
Sail up, sail up,
Keep your tail up,
Yellow Wal-Dog of the Sky!

Dog of Mars come 10 my whistler
When the northern bands unite,
And the spearing irons brstle,
Show your mettle for the Right!
Northward as see you vending
In the spangled paths afar,
Northward, ever, bending, tending,
Mystic watcher of the war!
/. for one, fast believer
In the astral signs and types,
Welcome you, y! great Retriever
OF our glorious Stars and Stripes
Hank the cashing,
Hark the slashing,
Sabre's ring and soldiers cry!
Sail up, sail up,
Keep your tail up,
