"Do you we those men t" said be, " Oiey nr our executioners. It is they who inflict the puiiitliineiil ol the knout, which you have doubtless nfien heard of." 1 looked at the two n.en ; they were t ill end robust, aiul al together liieir nppearsncn resembled the common class of the Russian penmntry ; the one hud a black and the oilier a red beard. They wore loose cloth pantaloons, with boots druwn over them. The other portions of their dress consisted of a colored striped blouse, ami a sort of cloth caeao k, open in front, nnd covering their bark and shoul ders. That which displeased mo. most in them was a certain air of gaiety and self salisfitciion, which I could not reconcile with Iheir barbarous When thev had advanced clone to , where we were standing, the aid de rump directed my attention to a packet which each id them cur ried under Ins leli arm. !" h'mt wid he " wimufyou liko to examine it ?" f re plieM in the affirmslive. ; The aid do cariip having addressed to the exe cuttonert xomo words in Ro?sio, they saluted me wittt tefpecii and, advancing to a table io the nettibule, unrolled their packet).

Ktw Monthly Maga zine, Singular Story. The following story was in circulutiun st Pensdiiring the Ih of November. It is said the parties art oi the buhe-4 respeoiaoili. ly, and that the secret of tbeir names is know ooly tb a very few: - A foreign gentleman and his wife were in the habit of dining almnu daily at a lasbiooable restaur rant iu the Palais Ruyul. Alter a time the waiters began to. nus iwuclea of plate; not olworviug al first, but afterwards remarking that it was the ail ver.torks alone, and not the spoons or other things, which disappeared. Their suspicion at length fell ou the two foreigners, and were communicated to the master of the establishment, ile rejected the i .ea, liom the respectable appearance of the parties, who always dined' sumptuously aud pud liberally. As Uie waiters persisted in (heir notions, the restaurateur di-ected them lo serve plate with a peculiar mark fur lliu table ot the suspected parlies. This was doue twice, slid twice a . lurk was mi Ming. Ou Hie killer sAioa he directed one ol ihe waiters to.follow the guetiesmi ascertain llieir abode and character. They were found to be Americana, living in splendid fuitiisbed apart- nionis, at 1000 Irancaa month, were retried by the conciererie t be peojdu uY,weal.lbajit a ing all their accouuts wuu the utmoslegulau. ly. Tins being coinuiunicated to tlie restaurateur, he weut tu the parlies, aud iu reserved termtcUim ed a fork, which had a short time before been b atracttd. The husband, who atone spoke French, was highly indigtiatii, declared that be had tilled ftMrtyiMHid thai he and all his Umily were above suspicion ThrrTsfaTr positive proofs, and if what was abstracted was not given up to him, he would apply to the police. On this the gentlemen held a conversation with his wife, which became warm, sad al length ended in her producing the iork, which she had still wrapped up io her shawl. On receiving it, the restaurateur mlormed 'he American (hat this was nut all, for similar articles, lo the value of oho thousand francs, had been abstracted, and he was convinced by Ihe same hands. The' grieved and astounded gentle man immediately paid (his sura, earnestly request. ing the restaurateur to as ure him whether it was all thai he had loet. Tins he did, and then retired, expressing-his vexation at the untowsrd incident, and his conviction that it arose solely from an uo happy monomunia the gentleman, in his tum, thanking the taller for the delicecy of his conduct A few days afterwards the foreigners left Paris, and returuvd to their own country. It has since been aicerlailied thai Ihe lady destroyed the am. cles, severally, almost immediately after she had taken theur. Ariilocratical Skredneu. An English rnper says lhal a certain nohln duke paid h visit to the Sia ine.se hoys.

' EXTREMES MEET. The thairmao of the Committee of Ways and Means (Mr. Fillmore) has introduceM a bill. for the extension of tlie loan of twelve millions to " twelve er "and for " for a addition thereto of ve mUioiu.m On this the Bodo Courier observe : "This bill will probably pass. It is not easy to see how the Government can otherwise continue its operations. We do not eee any serious objeo tiuoa lo it. In one view, it may receive the active aupport of tha-Pro(eeti(uu$t: Should the txigen eiet of the Government' require atony store loam, Government will toon nee4 a tariff of dutiet to pre tide for the payment of the interett of the pttblic debt, that will be fuite high enough to atuwer all the withet of the ayosf ardent advocahi of protet lion. The enemies of protection are willing to . las imports far revenue, and thus perhaps protec tion may he indirectly obtained. We shall be glad lo get protection for domestic labor by protection in any way." The doctrine of Federalism that a public debt is a public blessing, is here very frankly avowed, and the reasons for" it presented. The " tzigenqet of ihe (rorernment (which require loans, and create a 'National debt) will eoon need a ttiriff of dutiet to provide for the paynentof the interett of the pub tie debt, that will be quite bigh enough to answer all the wishee of the most ardent advocate of pro tection." Here the mystery is revealed end this explains, too, why the publie land fund is to be distributed. This resource would go a great way to relieve Ihe exigencies of Government, and do away with the necessity of accumulating loans, or, at all events, of levying bigh duties to meet ihe interest. But as the seventeen million now pro posed, would not sufficiently raise the debt,' at once to answer the ends of the H noTBcnontrrs," we have another project for an increase of the Nation "&t deb m .by milli nt, and immediately. It is the project to buy an interest in all the railroads of the United States for the use of the mails. On this proposition, we have a Congress of the corporations now in session in the City, which will presently Womrt its budget to the Congress of the Union. This, will, doubtless, be the creation of a new fund ing system, which will give the railroad corpora lions a share io the national sovereignly by creating fur them a perpetual, right in the taxes, jaod a control oyer the revenues of the country. We doubt, exceedingly, whether these corporate au thorities will consent (b come into hotch-pot with the Government in taking their share of the public revenue. We think it not improbable that they will insist on setting apart a separate and perma ncnt and inalienable luud to meet tbeir demaudion the Treasury. ' But no matter in what way the Uovernment is cut nil from its national resources, whether in the distribution of the land fund or other " Weftaat tff Jialribuie c ones alrailenedfoMre a high tsifl w '"e consequence, and, in Ihe cod, u the iBtereslol Ihe publte tlebt will be qurte high enough to answer all Ihe wishes of the most ardent advocates of protection."

In pursuance of previous notice, a publie meet, ing of the Democratic Party of Mecklenburg was held at the Courthouse in Charlotte, on Saturday the 1st of January, 1842. The meeting was large and enthumastic, and was organised by the ap pointment of Dr. Stephen fox as Chairmao, and . IF. Hampton, Secretary. The Chairman brief, ly explained Ihe object of tlie meeting; end, on motion ol Col. Jonn bloaji, appointed John Walk er, John Kirk. C. T. Alexander. JrCoL. J. Slon and J.

Wn.EU.aa wascalled upon to address the meet. ing, which he did in a very effective and humoroeja speech of about half an pour in length. At the conclusion of bis remarks, the Committee through Mr. Hakfton, reported the following," which met the unanimous approbat ou of the meeting. A frequent recurrence to the fundamental prin ciple, of our institutions, and a scrutinizing exam ination of the conduct and measures of those, ageols lo whom the management of Uovernment is intrusted, aa well as the priuciples of those seeking " public office, are enjoined upon as not only by the advice of the patriots whose wisdom framed our system of Government, but by oar duty to our selves and to poeleritv. A tree oeonle should ha jealodt of their righia, and resist at the threshold the slightest attempt of their agena to usurp un delegated powers. These considerations constrain us at this time lo express freely our views on a variety ol measures ol National and State pqltcy, wnicn laieiy agnaieo, ana some ol which yet agi tate the public mind. In Ihe first place, We regard the Extra Session called by the Whigs immediately on reaching power, as unwise io policy and prompted by corrupt and wicked mo. tivee as unprecedented in it oppressive aud ly. ranical rules, unconstitutional laws, and profligate waste, of the public money, and should remain forever as a stigma upon its author.
