"" A True Lawyer. —-Alexander Hamilton
was once applied to, as counsel, by a man
having the guardianship of sevral orphans,
who would, on coming of age, succeed to a
large and valuable estate, of which there was
it material defect in the title-deeds, known
only to the guardian. who wanted to have
the estate vested i-n himself. Hamilton no-
ted down the fa-ithless executor’s statement,
and then said to hi-m,‘Settle with these un-
happy infants honorably to the last cent, or I
i will huntyou from your skin like a bare.’
The advice was strictly followed. and the
man who gave it was an ornament to the
bar, and the age he lived in.

"Escape at Francis Meagher from
Val! Diemanfil ,L8..nd.
The New York Herald gives the follow-
ing account of the escape of Meagherr _
“Mr. Meagher had the partial liberty of n
tic‘l'set~of leave at the time he escaped, but
did not violate its condition. It ran as follows
“ l undertake not to escape from the colony as
long as I hold this ticket of leave.’ Hav-
ing madb previous preparations for his flight
.11 fleet horse saddled in his stable, and well-
armed with"pistols._he addressed-ti letter td
the magistrate of Ross,about twenty miles
distant,'and a township of the district out of
which he was not permitted to go. The
place in which he resided was the wild bush
In this letter he returned his ticket of leave,
and said that he would remain at his house.
that day till twelve oclozk, when the leave
expired, in order to give the authorities an
opportvnity of arresting him if they could.
When the magistrate read the letter he was
astounded. and he immediately ordered the
Chief of Police, who happened to be pres-
ent, to proceed at once to arrest him. The
Chief of Police replied that he would not
do any such thing, as he was an Irishman,
and that young gentleman was an Irisliman.
‘But you must do it,’ replied the magistrate.
‘Faith, I won't,’ replied the Irishman, ‘I will
resign first.‘ ‘But I will not accept your
resignation.’ ‘Then if you don’t, you may
let it alone, butl will not arrest young Mea-
gher.’ The magistrate gave it up as a bad
case, and rode immediately to another station
in search of police. Meantime, the Irish
Chief of Police set out for the mines, and
thought he could make more money in dig-
ging gold than in arresting brave Irish patri-
ots. Such is one of the first fruits of the
gold discovery in Australia-the escape of
the brilliant Meagher. Gold, after all, is
uselulin its way. Meagher waited. for six
hours after the time, in order not to give the
British authorities any excuse for saying he
had violated his pledge. He was accompa-
nied and assisted by the young English set-
tlers, wlfo supplied him with horses and had
horses themselves. They proposed to wait
till the police came, and kill them. But
Mengher thought it unnecessary to shed
blood,but waited till the police came, and
kept his friends waiting at a short distance.
The moment the police tmtered the house,
he passed out another door,and mounting his
horse, came round to the front of the house,
and within pistol shot, and told them to ar-
rest him if they could. In the next moment
he put spurs to his horse, and, with his
friends was soon out of sight. They travel-
led over 180 miles without ha-ll, having re-
lays of horses on thc‘way. They at length
reiiched, uutnolested, =1 lonely spot upon the
sea-coast, where, according to previous _ar-
rangements, a whale boat was waiting and
bore him off in safety’. He had no concert
with William Smith O’Brien, or John
Mitchell, and acted entirely on his own res-
ponsibility. They were entirely ignorant of
his intentions.”
Mr. Meaghcr arrived in New York on
Wednesday night in the brig Acorn from
Pei-nambuco He kept himself perfectly
incog until Thursday, when he stepped into
the law office of Mr. Richard O‘Goi-man,
Jr., and Mr. John B. Dillon (also lrish ex-
iles) and took them completely by surprise
He then took lodgings at the residence of
Mr. O‘Gorn'ian in Brooklyn, and on Friday
night was waited upon by the Irish Regi-
ment and a large number of citizens. He
appeared on the balcony and made :1 speech
. Mr. Meaghcr gives the most extraordina-
ry account of the gold excitement in Aus-
tralia. The precious mettil is found in vast
quantities, and persons of every description
are fiirsiiking their usual avocations, and go-
ing to the mines. The police and the turn-
keys of thejails have fled, and the local nu-
thorities were offering from $3 to $5 per day
to induce them t0:ake their place. He cal-
culates that in one year this gold discovery
will effect a revolution in Australia. The
colonists are by no means loyal subjt=cts.—-
Thcy are beginning to take it into their
heads to do something like what the men of
Boston once did with British tea.

Tallow em a. Pzmple.—-Last week at Hull
a young man Win. Heich, having a pimple
on his face that was rather sore, put some
iallow on it one night previous to going to
bed; mortifieation ensued, which ended in
his death, although the affected part was cut
away. The candlestick was a brass one
andn quantity of verdigris had formed on
the top of it, but wliethermortification resul-
ted from the tallow purely can hardly be
said, bnt this painful i-ncidci-rt should act as
another caution against the practice of ap-
plying candle tallovr to sores. We have
heard of two or three instances it-ttely where
injurious consequences have followed such a
use of t-allow, and it is as well the public
should know that some chandler.-i are in the
habit of mixing arsenic in their tallow, to
improve the appearance of their candles.

1lIr. Clay.-'I‘he following, paragraph,
from the New York Express, givesa touch-
ing account ofthe state of Mr Clay’s health.
He knows that death is not fat off, and is
prepared for the summons, come when ‘ it
may. He felt and for a while tliatthc pleas-
ure of reading was denied him, and does not
retain so large an interest in public afiiiirs
as when in better health, though he is now
read to every day by his son. The world,
he says, is naturally becoming more and
more contracted to his view, and as day af-
ter day passes away, the vision of life grad-
ually recedes and opens a prospect of a bet-
ter world beyond the grave. The occasion-
al glimpses of restoration-—-a strong pulse,
or a quieter rest at night——ext-.ite no hope
or wish to prolong his life, and on several
occasions he has told his physician that he
has no desire to live. His prostratitm of
body has not touched his mind and one fea-
ture of his lcebleness is, that he cannot sup-
port himself,-and is notallowcd to walk even
with the support of others. Dr. Jackson
told him recently, that if he stood erect he
would faint,aiid if he should faint, he would
breath no more. “Why is this P” said Mr.
Clay. “Because. there is not enough of vi-
tality in the heart to give circulation to the
blood.” “lies it come to this?” said Mr.
And seeing the necessity, he has 0
-himself to be borne like a child, to‘ and from
his bed.
LARGE \VEBi"l‘ER. MEETING.
The Wliigs of Maine held a large and en-
thusiastic Webster meeting, at Portlniid, on
the 3d inst., at which ineeting after‘ several
other speakers Iiiiid occupied the stand, Samuel
St. John, Esq., of our County was called out
by Hon. John A. Poor.
He said his friend Mr. Poor had made a
“ poor" selection, for he never made ii speech
or addressed a political body in his life. He
found himself ‘much in the same situation
that Father Taylor did when recently called
out before the immense gathering in Faneuil
Hall. He had lived seventeen years in Bus-
ton, and Daniel Webster had been his Pres-
idential cnntlidate all the while.. Mr. St.
John said he dated still further back, for he
first knew Daniel Webster in i830, two days
before be crushed millification, and Daniel
Webstr had been his President ever since.-
[Cheers] Ho hal recently traveled through
the New England States and ns for South as’
Virginia, and he expressed his honest and
firm conviction that Daniel Webster was al-
ready elected Presiileiit inihe hcnats of the
people. [Cheers] He believed in an over-
ruling Providence, and religiously believed
that God had ordained DanEel Webster to el-
evate this nation tea lil‘glXF‘l‘ pinnacle offame
and greatness than any nation has ever yet
attained. He had met some of his old friends
from the Pine State, who at heart were as
good Webster men as himself, but \vl'r0 said
they must go for availability. Alliitling to
the argument of availability, he said that any
man who had traveled the same extent of
country which he had recently, and did not
come to th'c‘c'3-nclueion that the terms Daniel‘
Webster and availability were synonimous,
had not common sense. He concluded by
reading a note he had received from a school
girl of seventeen, to whorrr he had" transmit-
ted an autograph of Mr. Webster. It wfia
fine touching letter.

The \‘Vhig Nafionai Cdbniicntioil‘.
- This body is to meet nextiweek, and the re-
sponsibility restiiig upon it is gienf. Our
readers are, perlinps, aware that our preferen-
ces for the \Vhig candidate for the Presidency
are decidedly in favor of D.uvu-:1. “fl-2BS'l‘lZll.'
though we hold ourselves ready to"susti'iiii the
nominee of the Convention’. ’
But, at the present time, and under the
present: circumstances, we earnestly ask of the
Wliigs of the country. where in their ranks
another such man its Wi:as'rit:n can be found.
It is not saying too much to nffirm that the
civil glory of this nation for the past thirty
years has been attained by his exertions iriore
than by any other cause wlintever. So long as
the English language shall endure, will this
genius, the learning, the patriotism. the elo-
quence of DANII-:1. Wnnsrnit be known and
honored t.Iiroug'noiit the world.
\-Ve are well aware that availability rntlier
than‘ talent is considered in nominating conven-
tioiispbut upon the more point: of availability
we assert nnd believe that Mr‘ W6l)SIeI' stands
in it better position than any one else who has
been named as ncandidiite. Is there in the
United States a main whose tinirits ought to
arouse the energy and enlliusinsni of every
honest man, like that of D/i:\'ii-:1. Wizaswiznl
\Ve think there is not, and we most earnestly
urge upon such members of the Convention as
may chance to cast tlieir eyes over this para;
graph to beiir in mind that in New England. at
least, no man can secure so large it Whig. vote
