STRENGTH THE AMERICAN CONSTITUTION
AND GovERNMENT.-The Liverpool Post of
late date observes:
d Perhaps, rightly considered, the present
movement is a palpable proof of the strength
of the American Constitution. There is
something like rank rebellion in South Caro-
lima. Civil war is talked OF, and the Gov
eminent is inactive or trimming, yet every
thing goes on as if nothing was the matter.
Trade is brisk, the banks are liberal, and
money tolerably plentiful. In any other
country there would be a commercial panic,
a cessation of dealing, and a terrible alarm.
The army would be called out, the national
forces augmented, and any number of sus-
pected persons in prison.
But Jonathan acknowledges no alarm,
and, if not Indifferent TO the result seems to
care very little what it may be. The free
States are quite strong enough to stand
alone; and while people talk Of North and
South, they seem TO forget that, greater than
both, there is a mighty West, drawing with
its happier influence the resources of the
North and South. Treason and rebellion
are, therefore, merely incidents in a Repub-
lie so vast, and are to be extinguished rather
by neglect than by force. There will be any
quantity of talk, but probably no fighting.

According to the New Orleans True Delta,
the Balize pilots are in tight place. Under
the orders Of the Governor of Louisiana,
who appears to be getting ready to emulate
the violence of Governor Piekens, the pilots
are forbidden to bring in any American YES
sci of war. The True Della sets forth the
unpleasant alternative; ''If vessel of war
bearing the American flag, should overhaul
pilot-boat in the Gulf, the probability is,
that the pilot will have to go on board the
vessel Of war, or the pilot-bOat and all hands
will be sunk. When the pilot gets on board
the vessel of war, the next probability is,
that his attention will be called to the yard
arm, with the emphatic hint that if he does
notdo his duty faithfully, he will have to dan
gle in the air. If this be not placing the
Balize pilots in tight box, we don't know
what is ~

Another English View of American Dis
union and the South. .-

union and the South. .-.
The London Times, of the 18th inst, says
of this country and the South
We are so accustomed to look upon the
United States as q country of education, and
to acknowledge our own inferiority on this
point that it requires some effort to realize
the fact that the enlightenment which exists
in New England gradually fades as the
traveller moves southwark, till, in South
Carolina and Alabama, the class which
governs is really hardly more instructed
than the Irish peasantfy.
These men are not the great slave-owners,
but poor, proud, lazy, excitable and violent
class, ever ready with knife and revolver,
and hating the negro and his Northern
friends with equal hatred. These men, pos
sessed with the idea that the triumph of the
Black Republicans meant an armed pro-
paganda in favor of abolition, rose in un-
reasoning violence at the first news of Mr..
Lincoln election. The richer citizens did
not approve, but could not stem, the move
ment. The regular politicians thought il
wiser to go with the stream.
With thousands of maddened white men,
each expecting the negroes of his plantation
to commit some atrocious act before the mex
morning, and crying for separation from the
Northern abettors of murder and pillage, the
moderate party had no chance. The hope o
the Unionists is that this frenzy is on thu
wane, and that the conservative minority
will soon have an opportunity of acting il
the separate States. This may, perhaps, b.
eventually the case, but the anticipations o
the North seem, for the present, somewha
too sanguine. The South has gone so fa
that selfesteem will forbid its return, unles
it receives concessions very humiliating Il
its opponents. r.H

IMPROVED SHIPs CoMPAssRs.-An i'm
proved compass, lately brought forward, has
for its object the overcoming of local attracss
tion on shipboard-there being in the
ordinary, compass avery perceptible'devia-
tion produced by bringing piece of iron or
steel into the neighborhood of the needle
The amount of deviation depends upon the
quantity of iron and the nearness of its posi-
ton. To prevent this, English vessels are
subjected to an expensive process to COM
pensate for these local attractions. Still, the
compensation is not reliable, for the most
careful adjustment may be neutralized by a
thoughtless change in the position of the at
tractive force. -.-
To this cause many accidents are attributs-
BILE; and they are particularly to be dreaded
in the case Of iron steamers, and other iron
and steel ships because the polarity of the
iron of the ship is liable to be disturbed by
strains, conclusions from the waves, and a
variety Of causes not under control. To pre-
vent this action of the iron of the ship, or of
cables, bolts, &C., upon the needle, the COM
pass in question has its needle enYeloped
with guard against these local attractions,
in such manner as at the same time not to
prevent its sensibility to terrestrial magnet

A Great SpeecIfAhe Result of GalIautry-
Lord BrOugham's Compliment to Beauty.

The London Critic says; l. .......
We have heard-and the story has an air
of mbldnce-that one day, as Brougham
was leaving the House of Lords, he met a
friend who was proudly escorting two very
handsome young ladies'. "Ah, Brougham,h
was his greeting, 81 am sorry you are leav-
ing, because my fair young friends had made
up their minds to hear you address the
House" "Then," retorted Brougham, cast
ing an eye of admiration upon the expectant
audience, "they shall not be disappointed )"
and forthwith he returned into his accus-
toned place among the Peers, while the la.
dies were escorted to the gallery.
Lord Melbourne was then in office; aud
when the first pause in the proceedings oc-
CURED, up jumps Brougham, with question
upon some intricate matter of foreign policy.
The poor Premier smiled amably, but hope
lessly he is not acquainted with the facts !;
no notice has been given of the question; he
is very sorry, but must inquire for informa-
ton. This was all that Brougham required.
Once more he rises; but this, time with that
terrible frown upon his brow, and that rug
ged voice with which he knew so well no W
to crush an opponent.
A phillippic against the incapacity of the
minister, the negligence with which public
affairs were conducted, the shameless su-
pineness and Indifference manifested by the
ADVISERS OF the queen, was poured forth
with all the rough, strong, rapid eloquence
of which this man alone was capable. Lord
Melbourne cowed in his seat; the rumors of
this great speech brought loungers from the
Commons to listen to what seemed the death
blow of the ministry; Queen Victoria herself
beard what was going. on, and trembled for
her amiable minister.
A leading article appeared in next morn
ing's Times, treating the speech as some
thing of the last importance; and it was
only made, after all, to please pair of pretty
women in the gallery, who took it as they
would any other tribute of homage to their
beauty-a bouquet, box at the opera, a
whitebait dinner, or a new bonnet.

WEARING CotKADEs AN OLD FASHION Re-
vIyED.-The present fashion ofwearing cock
AIDES is the revival of a custom much in
vogue in this country when John Adams
was President. The friends of Mr.. Adams
adopted the black cockade as the distinguish
ing badge, and men by an unconscious i'm
pulse looked to the hat of every one they
met, rather than at his face, to see whether
might determine whether to regard him as a
friend or an enemy. Party spirit ran very
high in those times; friendships were broken
by political differences between intimate
friends, and men who had been acquaint-
ances all their lives, crossed the street to
avoid meeting each other.

TIE MYSTERIOUS PANTALooNs AND THE
PERPLExED HUsBAND.-The Fort Wayne
Qnd.l Times says, few days ago, gentle
man Of that city, whose business makes it
necessary for him to be absent great por-
ton Of the time, Unexpectedly returned home
at night, and his wife informed him that
there was no light in the room, and re-
quested him to retire to bed, which he did.
After he had turned in, he began to feel very
unwell, and as he had felt so for some days,
thought it prudent to apply remedy inn
mediately, and accordingly arose, dressed
himself, and proceeded to the drugstore.
Having purchased the proper medicine, he
put his hand in his pocket for his pocket,
book and was surprised to come in contact
with what he supposed was change, but on
bringing it to the light he found handful
of gold; he felt in the other pocket, and with
the same result. He then, for the first time,
examined the outside of his apparel, and was
still more surprised that his presented quite
q different appearance from those worn
during the day. On counting the gold, be
found $40O in his possession. When he again
reached home every thing was quiet, and the
pants he had taken off few moments before
were gone. .aIi.a.
We have heard thisstory often before; but
it may be true, nevertheless, as such peculiar
cases are by no means Of unfrequent occur

SYMPATHY THE CAUSE OF DYsPEPsIA.--A

that one reason why SO many people have

unaffectedness in all she does. She is a
musician, too, it is said. From her earliest
childhood her teachers were German, and at
the age of ten or eleven she could play SON

piano. Afterward, when the rare treasure
of her voice claimed especial culture, she
was initiated into the songs of Schubert and

In Denmark, though the Danes are well in-

that epilepsy is durable by drinking the
blood of an executed malefactor. Capital
punishment in Denmark is by decapitation

hand around the scaifold ready to quaff the
red blood As it flows from the still quivering
body of the malefactor.
