His Last Exhibitions as United States Minister
More Maudlin Sentiments and NIisrepre-
sentatlOns.
George W. Smalley, the Tribune correspondent
located in London writes on the Sd instant:-
occasions some comments which / wish President
Grant could hear. Among all our old enemies, who
for the last six months have been Mr. Reyerdy john
sons warmest friends, there is open eXultation.
They say he is not to be recalled after all That is
not perhaps of much consequence, since they will be,
as usual, abundantly comforted by the result They
say also that even If recalled, his recall
after so long delay will imply neither dis
graGe 5S and @ his nor cond"c That nS of
consequence, and would have been well If it could
have been anticipated by the President and pre-
that the retention of Mr. Johnson for month as
minister under Grants administration is national
misfortune. 1t throws doubt on the position 1t per-
mits Mr.. Johnsons friends to assert with show OF
reason, that the American press mlsrepresented
President Grants views IN sppeto respect to rr Mr.;
say, and think they have right TO say, that the
delay in removing him is an Endorsement of his
course Minister. OF course know 1t is not so
meaIlt. | know that three monthsago nobody was
more indignant at the humiliations put upon this
country by Mr.. johnson than General Grant |
opinion: and | know, also, the reason alleged
dGr hout the the delS law I0'of and t6s
Presidents reported determination TO make
movals while that dispute is unsettled. But English
men neither know nor care for such details They
LOOK at the facts They see Mr. johnson still Minister
Minister for a month after the Inauguration OF
for the instant reputation of Mr.. Andrew Johnsons
envoy They chuckle over it, and when they and
MIR Reverdy johnson get merry together over their
wine things are said which think President Grant,
if he knew them, would put a stop to, even at the
risk of conceding point in his struggle with the
Senate Before this letter can be read in America,
suppose and hope the removal will have been made.
NV complaint may seem in that case TO have come
after the grievance is removed, but / will endure
that reproach. The removal now cannot do for
what it would have done three weeks ago. The hands
can;t he nut back on the clock. There is a
month during which Mr.. Reverdy johnson
mas had some right to say he was here
ministration. He has improved that opportu-
nitv to make that administration responsible for
some of his most odious and degrading exhibi-
tiOns This week he has been speaking mt New
castle again repeating his maudlIn utterances of
an affection that does not exist except in his eX-
cited fancy, and of that desira for compromising
inst claims which the whole American nation
has repudiated with energy. President Grant
ought not to have exposed us again to that hui
tniliatiOn.

The Hinnesota Tragedy.

On the 10th instant, the funeral of the murdered
members OF the Grey family took place in st. Paul's,
MINI. After the services were concluded, the rea-
tives OF the maniac who committed the frightful
tragedy visited him in his cell.
Towards the latter part OF the interview he casped
his manacled hands together, and, raising them up,
il taking oath, said: "Oh, done the deed; God
Almighty is going to punish me; can't get out of it !;
God il my Judge didn't know what was doing -
One OF the neighbOrs bent over him and tried TO
soothe him by assuring him that everybody under
stood that he didn't know what he was doing, and
that he was not held responsible for his acts. He
only replied in Respondent tone of voice cit was
my fault, and God will punish me- was sick before
that, and took some medicine that DIR. Wiley gave
me. don't know whether 1t did me good or harm. :"
At this juncture he called out, "Where is Malone?"
zone OF his nearest neighbors). Malone
stepped forward and shook hands with him.
me out hang me- punish me; cant
repent done the deed, done it that morning, hit
her with the grubbng hoe, done it and can't get out
OF it." He was evidently becoming quite excited
and his friends thought best TO bid him goodbye
His father advised him TO be quiet and good, ana
promised to come and see him every day.
Just as they went out he said:-"Oh, | want
10 go; don't want TO live any longer; got up and
went down in the morning 10 see about the cattle.
She came out and got the grub hoe and hit her. and
then had to go right through They pointing TO the
door out of which his relatives had just gomez are all
Innocent not one OF them was near or knew any,

removed from his feet before they should tear his
legs off After the visitors retired he became calm
AGAIN and remained so until evening.

Saturday April H. 1850 z

Our local banks are daily gaining slightly on
their country exchanges, and are lending some
what more freely, but the brokers continue to be
the chief recipients of their favors, and the i'm
provement in the market, in consequence is
more likely to escape the public notice.
The lenders of the sidewalk are not slow in
taking advantage of the reserved policy of the
banks, and make every effort to produce the i'm
preston that currency is scarce, in order to
obtain special rates. The impression prevails i'm
some quarters that these street venders of money
are, like the Italian organ-grinders, merely in
termediary agents for other parties who are
either ashamed of the transaction
or afraid of the usury law, and who
negotiate loans on so-caled commission. Be
this as 1t may, the street rates continue exorbi-
tant, and are very trying to men engaged in le-
gitimate business, who can ill afford to nav the
eXactlons or do without accommodation. This
state OF things will continue until the banks see
hit to return to legitimate course, of which
however, at present there are no symptoms

Caught in the Act.

The celebrated Professor Porson was
once travelling In a stage coach where
young Oxonian, fresh from college, was
amusing his companions with a variety o
talk, and amongst other things. with q
quotation, rs he said, from SOpliOcles. A
Greek quotation, and In stage, too, rous
cd the slumbcring professor from a naI
which no was taking In snug corner OF
the vehicle. Shaking his ears AMI rub
bling lis eyes, he said, Il think, young gen
tleu,an, you favored US just now with a
quotation from SophOclcs; do not hap
pen TO rccollect 1t there
oh, sir replied the tyro, TO whom the
Professor was personally unknown, the
quotation Is word for word rs have rc-
peatcd Il, and from Sophocles, too; but ]
suspect, sir, 1t Is some time since you were
at college, T ,.rr..-
The professor, applying his hand TO his
great coat pocket. and taking out small
pocket-cdition OF Sophocles, quietly asked
him II he would be kind enough to show
him the passage In question In that little
book.
After running the pages for some time.
he rcplicd-'Upon second thoughts,
now recollect that the passage Is In Eu.
ripidJs.'
Then perhaps, SIR said the professor,
putting his hand again into his pocket,
and handing him n similar edition Of Eu-
ripidcs, .you will be so good as to lind Il
for me In that little book ftl
The young oxonlan again returned to
his task, but with no better success, nut
tcring, however, 10 himself, vow never
