ty of your conduct. Has it-.not~becn‘d_e-

not been the opinion of rooster-kind for
ages, and is it not therefore undeniable;
that (after disinterestedness) the only
lhlllg, needful to the female. character is
excessive modesty? A true hen is so
strictly and severely virtuous, that the
slightest attempt , at intimacy from one
of an improper sex, though disguised
beneath the specious mask of friendship,
wil: excite in her breast the extremes:
aversion and horror. On the contrary,
what. do I find to he the case in re:-gar’-l.

ing unexpectedly from a little party, 1

Mrs. Biddy gets fidgety on her nest.

Silence for half an hour.

M7'r. Biddy, (in gentle desperation.)
" My dear, do you think you would mind
looking to the nest a minute, while I run
and pick up a little bit of something I-
I havn’t taken a mouthful to day."

O.C- Esq., (starting up in doubt.)-
“ Madam, have I heard aright? Do I
understand that you have distinctly of-
fered to shift upon your husband the lit-
tle duties of the domestic nest? Are
you going to step from your sphere, mad-
am? have I not again and again im-.
pressed upon your mind, that female sel-
fishness alone is at the bottom of these
impious doctrines '3 And what, on ',thc

ness : a true hen glories in little crosses

and trials; for without temptation she -

perceives that there can be no _virt,u_.e ;,
without trials, nopatience; without af-
fliction, no resignation; which is always
so lovely in the female character.‘ true
hen, situated_ as you are, would not only,
rejoice that Providence had seen fit to
parfect her with trials, but with the‘
beautiful self abnegation which can nev_
er be so strenuously inculcated but by
rooster-kind, would set herself to plati-
ning new sacri,fice"s; lsay a true hen,
in your aittlation, instead of sneaking
from her littlehduties, would contrive
some plan, (if only by reaching out her
head and picking the earth around her,)
for supplying her hu§Iiatid’s little wants.

The Lost Ticket, or a Frenchman
"in at Stew. " , _

In returning from a trip to the Lakes

:4. few days since, I witnessed a little af-
fair that makes quite an item in my note.
book, and may amuse your readers. ' Af-
:er a weiry drive, in a procession of 12
«=.arriages,tliat moved solemnly for twelve
hours over as many miles of beautiful
.-aunt;-y, we pulled up in front of the"
'“ National," in Springfield, at ialiout. 9

kept that beautiful little town in "atdense-‘
ly populated state, so much t"o,"'tha"t. the

sixty or seventy passengers that I coiiht-' I

-ed as travelling cotnpanions; could not
find beds to rest their weary limbs upon,
but were forced to take" carpet ‘bags,
trunks, ‘juleps, until the cars for Cinci-
natti would give us more comfortable
quarters. Among the rest, -a little
Frenchman, whose baggage consisted of
a qnacrly shaped hat-box and a faded
silk umbrella, moved restleaely about
with the box in one hand and the um-
brella ill thctother, pouring forth an un.
interrupted stream of incompreh ensible
Englisli, in a way ‘sufficiently ludicrous"
to amuse two crowds. Suddenly the
little garlic worshipper disco'vel~"ed‘-, to his
utter dismay, that he had losf‘liis ticket
purchased at Buffalo, and warranted to
carry him through to the‘Hcnrie [louse-
in Cincinnati.-n ‘ Here was a predicament!
and in the consternation of the moment-
he dropped both-hat-box“ arid‘ "ufriltrclla,
and vociferated loudly, and ii1'a? "'r3:‘~z'or'--
grinding tone, for the stage agent. "-"I 

“ Vere is de stage agent ? Vere «I

L , "glad to get rid ofihis torment-
or onany terms; "I tvillfreplace your

So saying‘ he steppedup to one of the
attxchees of“-"the circus, procured "a tick"-
'e_t-, and hand:-d:it "to the spirited, F tench-
man‘. Poor Frcnchy took the square‘
piece of pasteboard, marked "Box," ‘and
supposing all "right, pu"t"it carefully in
his pocket"-book--i-gathering up his ‘list’-
box andumbrella, and reacliing tbs‘ “ho-"

of the parlor floor urioccupied.’ Stretch
ing himself "out-at full -length he was
soon in the land of dreams, where ‘no

In the -morning soon“ after ’’breakfast,

and tearing" along at nbreak‘-neck "speed.
Frcnchy at close to me, and jabberéd in-
cessantly- Shortly after,-' the conductor
entered, ‘.with the usual salutation of
" Tickets, gentlemen.” Ourlittle ‘friend
opened his pocket-book, took ‘out the
ticket he had-received the night before,
and presented it-,.to- the conductor.

" This is not the ‘right-"ticket, sir.”

'3 He ees no dc right ticket! yea saire,
he is de right ticket ; »I. have "get him

‘.‘ I know nothing about your connec-

Prince Albert. '

The accusations against the consort of the
Queen, say: the Cour-ant, begin to assume quite
a tangible form, and evidently are notthe mere
ebullition: ofjealousy against" German influence.
He has, unquestionably‘, used -his power over
the Queen’: afiection: to further the cause of
the Russian despot in the British councils, and
has given the weight of ble station to the Co-
bourg interest in Europe. - =

The London Morning Herald of Dec.-29, con-
tains a list of serious and grave charges against
Prince Albert that may possibly be made the
object of parliamentary investigafion. That
charges are : fit-st, that the Prince I: always and
invariably present when the Queen rcceivcuher
ministers, and is not then a‘ silent listener but
takes an active and often shading’ part in the
deliberations which, from his station, he has no
‘legal right to do. The needs‘ say: st} rtoben
Peel first encouragodintorference,,probably.be-

" cause he saw it gratified the Queen. Lord fiel-

bournc, when Prime Minister, never sufilcrodlt.

It is charged against hint, in the second place
that he interfere: with the foreign diplontncy
of the nation, vvflfitlng letter: and jlvlng" instruc-
tion: to foreign minister: privately, and with-
out consultation with the Secretary of Foreign
Afi°alr:, thus interfering often with his policy
and lending dlplotnatiat abroad to an uncertain
course of action. This interference, so contro.
ryto all the English custom: and laws, In more
generally exsi-cissd rcrpsctlng the dsstlny of
the Cobourg fatally In all It: branches.

In the third place, he is openly charged with
conveying secretlnformation to, bl: friend: on
the continent of what is going on in the English
court. Louis Napoleon's hostility lo England
iseold to be owin"g3tc‘hi: getting psaucsction of
sonic of this secret correspondence of Prince
Albert':. -

They likewise‘ assert that It is notorious that
Lord Palrnerston, when in the Foreign Ollce,
was never allowed by the Prince to Item! abroad
a despatoh, until be had seen it. Sometimes
the lllnlstcr refused and considerable delay took
place, which injured the success ofthe negotia-
tion. Lord Palmerston could not explain to
Parliament the cause of this delay and had
therefore to bear the blame. ._

There is much feelingin England against the
exercise of such a sccrct and irresponsible influ-
ence over the affair: of state. The English peo-
ple understand the principle: of freedom well
enough to make their Ministers responsible to
the Parliament and thus to themselves, but
here is a controlling power which they can
hardly reach.

England, who styles himself ‘ A Poor Wealeyln.’

The Lost.

‘overbbard from the unfortunate steamer San
Lllrancimo and lost, were Isjor Taylor and
‘Lieu. Smith. Both had been stationed at Fort
Trumbull, New London, for fiv: years, and
were highly respected in that city, by all who
knew them. Hajor Taylor was accotnpanicd by

He cnys-—-'* The steamer Georgima
packet running between this city, Mont-
gomery and Alabama River, took fire
last night at the end of the Jefferson and
Lake Pontchartrain Railroad and was
destroyed with 2. large number of lives.
The particulars as near as could be a.=_
The steamer

1,031 bales of cotton, had arrived at the
lake end of the Jefferson and Lake Pont-
chartrain Railroad at ten minutes after
I0 o’clocl: last. night. Just as she was
landing at the wharf of the railroad, and
before the boat could be made fast at the
wharf, a fire was discovered near the boi-
lers and before the alarm could be given
the entire boat was enveloped in flames.
There was a large number of passengers
mainly emigrants from Georgia, bound
to Texas, via this city. These emigrants
had a large quantity of baggage, some 43
mules, a large number of slaves, and a
considerable amount of money in specie.
The baggage, all the mules and specie
were lost, as also all the cotton, furni-
ture and other freight. , _, , _ _

The number of passengers, including
slaves, is stated to have been 185. ,The,
officers, crew, steward, and the . hands
are said to hrve numbered 41. ‘Up to
the time I left the wharf, it was ascer-
tained tbat all the officers, as usual. were
saved, and only three of the stewards
were missing. Of the passengers, 67 are
yet missing, mostly slaves; but as many
of the passengers may have been saved
and not reported themselves, there is no
certainty of the number of live: lost.--.
Many persons think the loss does not ex
cecc thirty-eight, but others estimate the
lost over fifty. Many persons lost their
lives by jumping overboard, and a large
number who have been saved are seri-
ously injured by leaping from the hurri-
cane roof of the .-tearner to tbs wharf of
the Railroad Company.

A part of the passengers were in their
berths at the time the fire broke out, but
I could not learn that any were burnt, al-
though there is a report that an old gen-
tleman by the name of Jackson was lost
in that manner.

The fire extended from the steamer to
the longwharf and warehouses of the
Railroad Company, destroying about 250
to 300 feet of the wharf, which has been
built at an immense cost, as also the
warehouses. In the warehouses was a
large quantity of bacon, pork, lard, flour
and other products, intended for the sten-
mer Ellen, for Mobile, all of whish was
destroyed. About 150 to 200 bales of
cotton, which had been landed from the
steamer Ellen, were destroyed.

 

Romanism in IreZ:md.—-A recent
number of the Dublin "Nation,", in a
"long editorial article, makes the follow-
ing remarkable admissions:

I “ The Irish nation is fast dissolving, as
the Jewish nation disso'ved before the
curse of God—as the Carthagcnian na-
tion dissolved before the sword of Rome

before the face of the white mam‘ Ile-
land is ceasing to be a Roman Cat -
lic nation. Priest Fitzgerald, in a re-
cent speech, admits. ‘Our nation and
our church are perishing.' An organ
::.y:,—"-‘Shall the soupsrs and tract dis-
tributors accomplish the work which all
the force of Englahd for three hundred
years has been unable to effect.’ "

Again :

"We are afraid that neither the priest,
hood nor the people of this country have
any idea of the system of proselytism car-
ried on under their eyes. It: agents
and emist-arie:-—-from the wealthy-
fanatics of Exeter Hall down to the
meanest Bible reader in Connaught—are
continually at work, and God only knows
the evil thcyuhave wrought. It is time-
and God knows there is full cause to
preach a crusade against it. It has had
an incalculable success."
