ARCTIC PANoRAMA-LAsT NIGHTs. The
curiosity among all classes TO see Failing's
great Panorama Of the Arctic Regions con-
tinues unabated There is fascination
about exhibitions of this kind in general
which is almost irresistible, but when the
work is truly meritorious as in the present
case, it is doubly 80. To sit quietly on your
seat and see faithful daguerreotype of an
almost unknown zone noiselessly unfolded
to view, and quietly glide by with its "mOv-
ing accidents" in the shape of mountains of
ice, its regions of eternal snow, and its won~
derful phenomena of various kinds, is suffi,
cient to tempt any one from his ireside,
and call forth the admiration of every Lover
Of Nature. We do not wonder that the Arc.
tic Panorama is so immensely popular. 1t
speaks in alanguage which all can under,
stand, and is equally instructive to the ig'
norsnt and the lettered, the child and the
parent, the old and the young Ii sings to
us new song, which is none the less beau,
tiful because it has comparatively an nn.
known theme.

The trial of Siekles, for the killing of Key
commenced in Washington, on the 4th CT
April. last. The Atlantic papers are full Of
the details.


In the examination Of proposed jurors, the
great majority of the married men had expires
sed so decided a sympathy with Sckles. that
they were at once rejected. From appear
ancos, we should judge that the jury must
have been composed at last, for the most
part, of single men, although it may turn out
differently.


Public opinion. at the commencement of
the trial, seemed vastly to preponderate in
favor of Sickles. In fact, public opinion in
such cases always does preponderate in favor
of the slayer of the seducer. We have never
known an instance to the contrary Even
the lowest libertines will Justify the husband
in killing the man who wrongs him, while
they do not blame the seducer himself be-
cause, they consider that the seducer takes
his chances for life or death when he enters
upon the undertaking, He must expect to
incur great risk and danger and, ifhe is dis
covered he must defend himself as best he
may They do not blame the seducer, nor
do they blame the husband for avtnging him
self Such is the creed of The very worst
libertines-so that ubic sentiment must OPP
crate strongly in favor Of Sickles, in any
event whatever, for the very men, who would
have done precisely as did Philip Barton Key,
would vote for the aequittal of Sickles for
killing him.


The larger number ofpuLlic journals have
justified Sickles, and predict his triumphant
acquittal. A few, however, are vehemently
denunciatory of his conduct. They say that
he was not the man to avenge with blood
trespass of this kind, because he had been
guilty of the same offences himself They
Furthermore say that Mrs Sickles was not
the woman for whom such a vengeance
should have been taken, and they pretend to
predict that it will appear upon trial that she
the sedueer of her; that, by her beauty and
fascinatons, she led him on to the eavowal of
passion which was natural in man ofloose
morals and an ardent nature, and, that like
a syren upon the sea bound rocks she allured
him to his destruction.


The evidence in this case will be read with
profound interest over the whole Union. The
next steamer will bring the full details.

" Mr. President the small progress we have made az
ter four or five weeks close attendance and continual
reasoning with each other, different sentiments on
almost every question-sevtfal OF the last producing
many noes as ayess methinks, melancholy proof of
the impertectiOn OF the human understanding.


We, indeed, seem to feel want Of political wisdom
since we have been running about in search of It, We
have gone back TO ancient history for morals OF Govern
ment and examined the forms of those which, having
been formed with the seeds of their dissOlJtiOn
no longer exist. And we have viewed modern States
all around Europe, but find none OF their constitutions
suitable to our circumstances. In this situation OF the
assembly, cropping were, in the dark to find political
truth, and able to distinguish it when presented
to US, how has it happend, Sir that have not
thought of humbly applying to the Father of Light to
illuminate our understandings? In the beginning OF
the contest with Great Britain, when we were sensible
of danger, had daily prayer this room for DiUlne
prote tlon Our prayers, sir heard and they
graciOusly answered.


"AI of who were engaged in the struggle must have
observed frequent instances Of experimenting PrOvl
dence in our favor. TO that kind Providence owe
the happy opportunity of consulting In peace on the
means of establishing future national felicity And
have now forgotten that powerful friend? Or do
we imagine that we no longer need his assistance?
q have lived, sir, long time, and the longer live
the more convincing proofs see OF this truthhdt God
goternS the affairs Of men and if sparrow cannot tall
to the ground without His notice. is it probable that
Empire rise without His aid? We have been
sured sir in the sacred writings that except the Lord
build the house, they labor in vain who build it,
firmly believe this and also believe that without His
concurrDg aid shall succeed in this political building
no better than the builders of Babel We shall be divi
ded by little partial local interests projects will
be confounded and ourselves shall become reprOach
and byword down to future ages. And what is worse
mankind may hereafter from this unfortunate instance
despair OF establishing governments by human wisdom,
and leave it to chance, and conquest.


a. therefore, beg leave to move that henceforh prayers
imporing the assistance Of Heaven, and blessings on
deliberations be held in this assembly every morn
ing before proceed business and that more
of the clergy OF this city be requested to oate in that
service"


The motion was carried and thus inaugurated
the custom OF having prayers at the opening Of the
sons of both houses Of Congress.

takes -four from this 10 the identical ports
from which she brought that. She brought
flour here last week, and she last night took
four hundred barrels to Cobourgor Port Hope

from white Canadian wheat for the Eastern
market. and goes by rail to fill orders from the
Massachusetts, towns The -four exported is
an Inferior article made at our mills, from
western spring wheat, and is destined tor the
Montreal market where 1t Is sold to the Lower
Canadian French, who pay as much for mid

is carried through from Rochester TO Montreal
for forty cents per barrel. There is direct wa

railroad competition is SO great that -four is

shooting forth green blades, bright, beautiful,

nothing that SO pleased US with its beauty

burr was found dried and opened; the differ
ent circles were sprinkled with grass seed,
and it was placed in a wine glass, with water
in as above. In few days the moisture
and nourishment gave the burr life and
health, the different circles closed ard bur
led within themselves the grass seed, and a
few days more gave to the seed life, sprout,
and growth, and now a pyramid of living
green, beautifully relieved by the sombre
hue of the burr, is the result-as pretty and
