.Mrs. Hamilton, from their first acquaint-
ance, and took every opportunity to evince
the force and sincerity_of his attachment ;
thatnt one time he flattered himself with
the idea that his passion was -reciprocated ;
but that afterwards Mrs. I-Iamilton became
cool and reserved towards him. This ren-

during which be wasted all his money, and
poverty and despair,
to Mrs. Hamilton, and implored her to mar-
ry him.-—She_i"efused; but with kindness
almost‘ angelic, offered him any pecuniary
consolation in her power to bestow. She
was niovedby pity, but could n_ot conipel
her affections. The confession in this part
is full_ of warm and ardent language in
her praise. 7
The despair and desperation of Clough,
as he declares, were only increased by
these kiiidiiesses on the part of Mrs‘. Ham-
ilton.—-His pride was humbled, while his
burning regard. was fanned into intenser
flame. On" the fatal day oftlie murder, his
feelings had reached a pitch of poignant
aiiguisli which beggars discription, and he
retired sick and wearied to his_,chamber. —
He says he did not call Mrs. Hamilton
in the room—thut she came of her own
accord, supposing him suffering from ill-
ness, and with the design to cou_ncel and
console him. Feeling that her life was in
danger, he requested her to leave the apart-
ment ; which she did,but returned again.
He was then overpowerd by faintness, but
was sitting up. On a recommendation
‘ from Mrs. H. that he should lie down a-
gain, in which she- ‘offered to assist him, he
placed his left arm‘ on her shoulder for sup-
: port, and then, as he declares all conscious-
iiess deserted him. He found that li_e had
. stabbed her once; and then, with suddenly
, rercovered senses, but under an irresistible
; impulse, he repeated the deadly thrust a-
. gain, again .and again l” _
In conclusion, he said that he bowed to
"the sentencet of the law: that the trial
, was fair and impartial; and the Jury and
Court were just in adjudging him to death.

of property. A reaction then takes place

they become once more united." “In all

The Bitter Bz'ttcn.——A few days ago, as
one of our Mcrcliaiit Tailors in Market
street was patiently waiting the calls of cus-
tomers, a robust, honest loolcing fbllow,
steppedinto the shop, who looked as though
he needed an outfit, his liabiliments being
rather worse for wear.—After the usual
enquiries as to prices &.c. be concluded
to rig himself with a new suit. Ile daf-
fed liisold coat and vest, and very soon
found substitutes for them among the
various samples spread out before him by
the accommodating supplier. Having
found pantalooiis that pleased him, he
walked into the back room to see wheth-
er they were of sufiicient length and
lireadtlifivliicli being the case, he very un-
ceremonioiiiily kicked his old ones out of the
way, and made for the back window. eVVith
wonderful dexterity lieleaped over the dif-
ferent walls, wood piles and high fcnccs
that obstructed his progress, and was
soon farther than “speaking distance”
from the tailor’s shop and his tattered rags
Tlic honest shop-keeper began to wonder
at his delay, and proceednd to the room
where he had left his customer; but 10!
the bird had flown, and left “not a wreck
behind,” save his tliread-bare brceclies-—
. no very profitable exchange for the ab-
sent new suit. He in vaiiilooked through
the window for the rascal, or peered into
his own or the adjoining yards, and very
soon made up his mind‘ that he might
as well set down customer and cloths as
“among the missing.” After thus dispos-
ing of the abseiitecs. he very naturally
and mechanically proceeded to ransack
the pockets of the old trowsers which
were left, where he soon found a pocket-
book, forgotten, doubtless, by the gentle-
man in his haste to secure the spoils,
upon opening which his glad eyes were
greeted by the cheering sight of baiik-
notes. \Vlien he uiirolled them, he couiit-
ed ten dollars——thrce dollars more than the
garments were worth which the unfortunate
rogue ran of with .'——N. York pa.
Pufs Erronz'ous.——A few days ago, Mr.
Robert Montgomery, whose new poem is
at presant undergoing cross-examination,
sent a note to a certain editor in the Strand
to the following effect :-—“Dcar sir, I trust
you will oblige me with a few pufis for my
woman.” The note was directed Mr.
Strand ; and was delivered, through the
ignorance of the Mercury, into the hands
of ii pasty cook of the same name in» the
same street. He also dealt in puffs, like
(and yet not lik) his name sake; but feel‘-
ing at less as to the quantity required, and
moreover, understanding that the said Mer-
cury had no cash whercwitli to pay, lie at
once indired the following reply.—“Mr.—
begs to thank, Mr. R. Montgomery for his
order, shall be happy to supply his woman
with any number of puffs as soon as the
money is sent." \Ve are indebted for this
Whimsical anecdote to a correspondent who

that he has in possession the original note

1lIelanchol_i/ Accidcnt.—-A very melan-
choly accident occurred at" Quincy, Mass.
a few days since, which hasslirouded aper-
tion of the inhabitants in mourning and
gloom. As a retailer was rolling, a hogs-
lieadof rum into his store, the head came
out and awful to relate, the whole was lost,
in the presence of many waiting and thirsty
customers. A similar distressing occur-
rence took place in tliis"City a few days
since, which, though not so extensive in its
miserable effects, was nevertheless, attend-
ed with, if possible, more aggravating cir-
cumstances, A man went into a store and
got his jug filled .with. the good creature,
and, making a misstep as he came -out,
fell, and in a moment both the jug and -its
contents were lost_foi'cver. Astonislied at
the unexpected occurrence, and cliagrined
at the loss he had sustained, he jumped up,
and in a tone that would melt the heart of
a stone, enquired "Mr. , have you got
another" jug 'l”—Hartford Review. -
A most shocking murder was committed
in the village of Christina, Del. on the eve-
ning of the 3d inst. The perpetrator of
the deed is named Thomas \Valsli. He
became enraged for some trifling cause, at
a female named Priscilla Thomas-and
after deliberately loading his musket. with a
her.
‘her, lietook aim and fired. The charge
took effect just above the knee, and nearly
severed the limb from the body, which
caused her death in about thirty minutes.
W'alsli immediately surrendered himself up
to a magistrate, was examined, and com-
mitted to the jail of the county, to await
his -trial in November next. He manifested
the most perfect indifference relative to" the
crime he had committed, and the conse-
quences which await hini. The parties
both resided within a few miles of Christi-
ana, and neither of them had previously
sustained a very good character.-—PIia.

CH1. ERA IN‘ THE VVEST.
Tliecholera seems to have almost disap-
peared in Kentucky and the states farther
sautli, but it is spreading in Ohio and Illi-
nois. It still clings to Cuba.
. _ PENNSYLVANIA. ; ,
I’i't!sl;2trg.—_On the 30th ult.*;tl.ie Board
of consulting Physicians announced that
but three deaths from Cholera had occur-
red in the city within the week-—-inaknig
fifty-one deaths since the 11th of June.‘ it
. ‘ oiiio. '
C'olumbus.—Up to the “30ilI. the number
of cases that have occurred in the Peniten-
tiary was 29, of whom 7 died. From 705'.
to 100 of the prisoners had-been affected
more or less with diarrhoea, which general-
ly yielded to prompt means. The whole
number"-of convicts ‘is 203. At the latest
dates the disease wasabating in the town,
only three or four deaths having occurred
in the last. three or four days. .
Chil1'cothc.—-Tlie disease has visited
Chilicotlie and other townson '‘ the Sciotu,
but not in and aggravated form. During
the eight days ending the 28th ult there
liadbeen 18 cases, and fmm 5 to 10 deaths.

_ _ ’ 5 ILLINOIS AND: iuissoimi. ‘ .
The disease has again made its appear-
ance at Carroltoii, and several
have occurred. There have also been sev-
eral deaths in the country ,coiitiguous. In. ,
Bclleville it still continues, and among its
victims is Gov. Edwards. In Quincy the re
have been l3,deaths since the commence-
ment. In Jacksonville its progress is slow
but the disease still continues.‘ There have
zeiis. In St Charles, Illa. it bids fair to
be distructive as at Palmyra. At the latest
dates there had been 50 cases at that place. /1
niississirri.
Natchcz.—The first case of cholera at
Natchez made its appearance on the 27th
there were 143 deuths—77 from the chole-
ra, viz. 27 whites, and 50 blacks.
' _ ALABAMA. _
John Rudd, well known in Alabdma, as
a trainer of horses, died of cholera about 6
miles from Huntsville, on the 7th inst. It
appears that but a very few days before
his death, he had killed a gentleman in
Slielbyville, by the name of 1 Marshall, with
a stone, and at the time he was seized with
the cholera, he was endeavoring to escape --
from justice. , - ’ 5
