The scene was affecting beyond description, and all hearts seemed to float in floods of tears.

James Morgan and Julia Walling- ford, now devotedly pious, were selected as groomsman and bride-’s maid, and par- son Grundy never felt a clearer conscience in joining; ‘two willing hearts together,’ Robert El- lison felt that his earthly bliss was per- fected, and line felt art humble and inex- pressible satisfaction with her circumstan- ces; and it. was the unanimous suffrage of the whole company that they were the handsoiiiest, the worthiest, and happiest couple they had ever seen. Jane and her mother now exchanged their humble cottage for the splendid ‘mansionof Esquire Ellison, while all the villagers blessed her, and rejoiced in the singular and happy change in her fortune; but Sarah Saunders always sighs when she thinks of the Village Dress-maker. Debt of tlie ./Imericzm. Board.—“ This miserable monster,” as Dr. Cox called it, seems to be in a fair way of being effect- ually disposed of. A number of individ- uals have certainly shown a liberality that is truly honorable l0 themselves, at the- same time that it is most gratifying to the friends of missions. ‘l he contributions of a few persons ip Boston amount to $3,- 900. Twenly.one in other towns in Mas. sachusctts have given $4,500. In Hart- ford, three gentlemen have subscribed $2,200, and in Norwich two have become responsible for $1,000. Six individuals in New York city have given $2,950, and six more in other parts of the State ‘have assumed the payment of $1,350. In New Jersey three persons have promised $650; in Maine three have contributed $350; four in New Hampshire have subscribed $600; and four in Vermont have tendered $550. The effort which was commenced at the annual meeting, we hear is going forward very promisingly. The churches in Norwich raised a liberal sum last Sab- bath.—Bos'on Tr-xv. The In—'ernrz/ional Postage Treatg/.—It is understood that, in accordance with the arrangements concluded between Mr. Bancroft on the part of the Uitited States and the British Government, the rate of postage to be charged on half ounce , let- ters sent in steamers of both nations, will be for the carriage across the Atlantic twenty cents, for delivery at the Post Of- fice two cents, and for the inlatid trans- portation at the rate t-,harged for domestic letters. So that a letter addressed at Liv erpool to Philadelphia, and brought by a steamer plying between Liverpool and New York,wonld be charged twenty-seven cents, of which twenty would be paid to the steamer bringing it, whether British or American. The Act of June 27th, 18-1-4, empowers the Post Master General to carry the new arrangement into operation, without waiting for further legislative action. N. Y. Jour. of Com. To mark Names on.

Slavery in Vz'rgt'm'a.—A New England mechanic, who has recently tnade a visit to Virginia, sets down his first impressions of Slavery in a letter to a friend at Boston, in the words given below. After record- ing his ideas of the warm hospitality of the people, and the beauty of the country, and alluding to the state of business, he scys—“ Slavery is the curse of the land. The negroes are the masters. They are well fed and well clothed, are free from care, and are treated with kindness which they repay by idleness, the most wasteful extravagance and provoking insolence.-— Slavery appears to me to be a well-arrang- ed system of destruction to the whites, and its greatest moral evil, after all, is to lie f0U"<l in its name, The negro has the best of it, and the master feels the fact.” Largest Soy//2e Jllanufaclory in the World.-—At North \Vayne, in Maine, is situated the Scythe Manufacturing estab- lishment of Reuben B. Dunn, Esq., the largest of the kind in the world. 'l he es- tablishment consists, besides warehouses, furnishing shops, &c. of three principal buildings for manufacturing,two of which are one hundred and forty-fotir feet each in length. In these. and in departments connected with the establishment, ate em- ployed about one hundred men, many of whom have familiis settled at the place. A flourishing village has grown up within a few years, and is rapidly increasing.- Twelve thousand dozen scythes are annu- ally manufactured, to produce which are required 4-50.000 lbs. of iron, 75,000 lbs. of steel, l,‘.20() tons of hard coal, 10,000 bushels of charcoal, [00 tons of grind- stones, and half a ton of horax. The last article is used in the process of welding. The establishment is to be enlarged so as to ttirn out 17,(‘.00 dczen scythes annually. Recovered Lake.—A singular accident occurred on the Michigan Central Railway. It became necessary to carry a grading or embankment of fifteen feet high, across a low piece of ground, containing about 100 acres, nearly dry enough for plowlantl. VVhen they had progressed with the gra- ding for some distance, it became too heavy for the soil to support, the crust of the earth broke in, and the embankment sunk down into seventynine feet of water! It appears that the piece of ground had been a lake. but had collected a soil of roots, peat, muck, &c., on its surface, ap- parently from ten to fifteen thick, which had become hardened and dry enough for fartn purposes. A writer in the Advocate of Peace esti- mates thatseventy thousand men in various capacities were sent to Mexico during the war, and that the lives of not less than thirty thousand have been lost either by sickness or in battle. The ruin of char- acter, morals and health, to those who survive, cannot be estimated. The news- papers continually announce the death of returned volunteers, some from diseases contracted in the camp, others from intem- perance, and some from suicide.

Ireland.—M’Manus, O’Donnohue, and Meagher, were sentenced to death on .Vlonday the 23d of October, as O'Brien had been previously, but We are glad to learn by an article in the London Titties that none of them are to be executed. The following are some of the speeches made on that occasion: SPEECH or l\’I’l\'IA-.\'tJs. Mr M’Manus then spoke as follows :- My Lords, I trust I am enough of :1 Chris- tian and enough of a_ man to understand the awful. f‘CS”)unsii)ility of the question that lla-S been put tome My Loids, standing on this tny uativesoil—-standing in an Irish Court of Justice, and before the Irish Na- tion—-l have much to say why sentence of death or the sentence of the law should not be pronounced upon me; but, my Lords, on entering this Court, I placed my life- and what is of much more importance to tne, my honor—in the hands of two advo- cates; and, my Lords, ifI had ten thou- sand lives and ten" thousand honors,Iwould be content to place them under the watch- ful and glorious genius of the one and the liigli legal ability of the other. My Lords, :,jI,am content in that regard. I have some- thing to say which no advocate, however anxious, can utter for me. I have this to say, my Lords, that whatever part I may have taken through any struggle for my country’s independence-—whatever part I may have acted in that short career—l stand before your Lordships now with a free heart and with a light conscience, ieatly to abide the issue of your sentence And now, my Lords, perhaps this is the fitest titne that I might put one sentiment on record, and it is this——standing as I do between the dock and the scafl'old—it may be now or to-tnor- row, or it may he never; but whatever the result may be, I have this sentiment to put on record, that in any part I have taken, I have not been actuated by animosity to Englishmen, for I have spent some of the happiest and most prosperous days of my life there, and in no part of my career have I been actuated by enmity to Englishmen, however much Iinay have felt the injustice"- of English rule in this Island. My Lords, I have nothing more to say. It is_ not for having loved England less, but for having loved Ireland more, that I stand now before you. SPEECH or IVIEAGHER. Mr. Meagher then, with great fluency and remarkable firmness of manner, thus addressed their Lordships : “It is my inzention to say a few words. I desire that the last act of a proceeding which has occupied so much of the public time should be of short duration, nor have I the indeltcate wish to close the dreary cer- emony of astate prosecution with a vain display of words. Did I fear that hereaf- ter, when I shall be no more, the countryl have tried to serve would think ill of me, I mightindeed avail myself of this"“§oletnn moment to vindicate my sentiments and my conduct. But I have no such fear. The country will judge of these sentiments, and that conduct, in a light,'I think far- differ- ent front that in which thejury by which I have been convicted ' have viewed them ; and perhaps the sentence you, my Lords, are about to pronounce, will he remember- ed only as the severe and solemn attestation of my rectitude and truth. Whatever may be the languagein which that sentence will be spoken, I know that my fate will meet with that sympathy, and that my memory will be honored. In speaking thus, accuse tne not, my Lords, of an indecorons pre- sumption. To the efforts I have made for what Iconceived to be a just and noble cause, I ascribe no vain importance; nor do Iclaim for them any high reward. But so it happens, and it will ever so happen, that they who have tried to serve their country, no matter how weak their efibits may have been, are sure to receive the thanks and blessings of its people. ith the country, then,_I leave my memory, mv ‘sentiments, my acts, proudly feeling that they require no vindication from me this day A jury of my countrymen, it is true, have found tne guilty of the crime of which Iwas indicted. For this I entertain not the slightest feeling of resentment against them ; influenced as they must have been by the charge of the Lord Chief Justice, they, perhaps, could have returned no other verdict. , _ What of that charge P Any strong ob- servations upon it I sincerely feel would ill befit the soleninity of this scene; but I would earnestly beseech of you, my Lord —you, who preside upon that bench- when the prejudices and the passions of this hour have passed away, to appeal to your own conscience, and ask of it—was your charge, as it ought to have been-, im- partial and indifferent" between the subject and the Crown ? My lords,you may deetn this language unbecoming in me,'and per- chance it may seal my fate ; but I am here to speak the trulh, whatever it may cost.

Even here—-- here where the thief, the libertine, the tour- de_rer,_"have left their fo_otprin'ts in _the dust, —-here in this spot,‘ where the shadow of death surrounds me, and from which I see an early grave in an unanointed soil ‘open to receive me—even here, encircled by these terrors, that hope which beckoned me to _the perilous sea on which I have been wrecked, still consoles, anitnates and en,- raptures me. No! I do not despair of my poor old country-—her. peace, her liberty, her glory. For that country I can now do no more than bid her hope. To lift this is- land np+to make her a benefactor to hu- manity instead of what she is,.—the meanest beggar in the world-—to restore to her her native powers and her ancient constitution ——this has been my ambition, and this am- bition has been my crime Judged by the law of England, I know this crime entails the penalty of death. - But the history of Ireland explains my crime and justifies it. Judged by that history, I am no criminal-- [and, turning round toward his fellow pris- oner, M’Manus,]—-you are no criminal- [and to O’Donoghue]——you are no crimi- nal, and we deserve no punishment. Judged by that history, -the treason of which I have been convicted, loses all its guilt---is s_anctified as a duty---will be ennobled as a sacrifice. With these sentiments, my Lords, I await the sentence of the Court. Having done what I- feel to be my duty---having spoken now, as I’ did on every occasion during my short life, what Ifelt to be the truth. I :;>J,=, bid farewell to the coutitry of nay birth, my P3_55l°"a am! my dea!l”i---that country whose "'l5l‘0l‘l'J!‘.(-s have invoked my sympathies- whose factions I sought to still---whose in- tellect I prompted to a lofty aim---whose freedom has been my fatal dream. I offer to that country, as a pledge of the love I bear her, and the sincerity with which I lliought, and spoke, and struggled for her freedom, the life of a young heart ; and with that life all the hopes, the honors, the endearments of a happy and an honorable . lwme. Pronounce, then, my Lords, the sentence which the law directs, and I trust I will be prepared to hear it, and meet its execution. I trust, too,*.hat Iishull be pre- pared, with a pure heart to appear before a higher tribunal---a tribunal where a Judge of infinite goodness, as well as of infinite justice, will preside; and where, my Lords, many, many of the judgments of this world will be reversed ” F/‘uncc.——The new Cabinet of Gen.

The indi- vidual referred to, is a son of the Rev. Mr. H AXGHT, instead of “Hoit” as the Journal has it. This truly wonderful case will no doubt -give rise. to tnuch interesting metaphysical dis- 'quisit;ion, among scientific men. The story runs thus ; ‘ About nineteen years, ago, Mr. Hoit of '~ \Vilton, Conn. than it t'emat'kably good student ‘hm ll’ mlglll 3‘ the 33""? lime form Pllfliin his Collegeiate course, was suddenly depri- or the Italian DWI’ wlllch the Kmg Or? ved of his reason and memory. In these cir- lcumstances, his father. Rev. Mr. Holt, sent hitn lto Dr. Chaplin, of Cambridge, Mass. The Dr l said there was no relief for him at that time,- bnt at the age of thirty six or seven, there would, be a change; that the brain was too much expanded for the cranium, and there would, at that age, be a 6..‘0l1_tl't1cl.l0rl, which fa- ther and family saw their hopes peremtorilyl deferred for nineteen years. That time hasl recently expired, and to their great joy the prophecy is fulfilled. The man began to in- _ quire for his books as if he had just laid them ‘down, and resumed his mathematical studies? where he left them . There was no trace‘ on his mind of this long blank ofhis life, or of any-' thing which has occurred in it, and he did not know that he was almost forty years of age.
