the popular choice. His public COM
Imunications were models for their
comprehension, their brevity, their
precision, the weight of their senti-
ments and the felicity Of their express
sion. A single brief sentence on
some important topic relating to eth
er National or State affairs often con-
tanned all which by many writer's
would be said in a succession of par
agraphs.
Though naturally retiring in his
habits and moderate in his speech, he
was of heartily genial disposition,
and his manner to all who called up
on him, either on business pertaining
to his Office or for an interchange of
friendly sentiment, was eminently
courteous and considerable. Some
times, too, when the occasion served,
the usual gravity of his manner was
enlivened by sparkles of quiet humor,
which gave charming warmth to his
conversation. We do not believe
any Governor of the State was ever
more thoroughly respected by all the
members of the Legislature, or by the
people at large, than was Governor
Royce. .....
With the close of his Office as Gov
ernor, his career as a public man was
ended. The natural infrmities of
age kept him thereafter at home, aloof
from the public eye, yet his interest
in the public affairs during the great
trials which the nation has had to go
through with of late years, continued
undated. His feelings were ever
those which belongs to the christian
lawyer, patriot aud statesman. The
younger men Of the present day, those
whose active life had hardly begun
before the major part of his was end
ed, can hardly realize the weight of
good influence which the State receiv-
ed from the subject of our notice.
The older men, those more familiar
| with the public men Of early years,
will realize it deeply. His death, at
the ripe age Of eighty-three, brings in
to narrow compass indeed, the list
of those who survive from the group
of eminent men who, in the past gene
ration, either on the bench, in the
! chief executive Office, or in any Of The
; responsible Offices and professions il
! the State, added largely to its credi
: and prosperity, and more than repaid
the people all the honor and respec
/ which was ever bestowed upon then
by their constituents.-Bm Burlington

although it may be a matter of
surprise to our readers, it is never
theless true that Messrs. Heidenheim-
er d Co. of this city have just received
a consignment Of coolies, direct from
China. They were shipped direct to
this port under ordinary bills of la
ding, and are regarded by the firm as
simple merchandise, to be sold for
freight and charges. Two-thirds Of
these persons are females, one of
whom is said to be very beautiful
They are to be disposed of at auc
