NO. 32. Corruption In English Elections Much is said in the British journals of the practice of " unseating" members of Parliament a mode of ejectment quite unknown in the history of the federal or State legislatures of this country. Thirteen mem bers of Parliament have already been " unseated," and, from present appearances, many more are likely to meet the same fate in other words, to be expelled from the House for procuring their election through bribery and other illegitimate influences. This is what is meant by" unseating' a member. The phrase is a delicate synonyme for expulsion. From developments recently made before special committees of the Houfe, it seems that the practice of bribing the ' honorable and independent" constitu encies of England is almost of universal prevalence. The Times boldly avers that faithful and thorough in vestigation would " unseat" at least "one half of the House of Commons, while it expresses the opinion that, out of 656, the total number of members, at least 600 are indebted to some corrupt agency for their elec tion. A member of the Derby administration The Min ister of War was publicly censured fo'r corrUpt tam pering with the electoral body. The Spectator is in dignant at the disgraceful practice, and fives the fol lowing sarcastic advice to members: Till they have cleaned their House of this foul stain, we venture to suggest that they should prefix dis and similar nega tives to the ordinary epithets they so bespatter one an other with ; and so far as their preliminary careers is concerned, the public will not dispute that the rfshon orable member for Swillborough, the tingallant admi ral, the member for Cheatem, the ignoble lord, the member for Guzzletown, would be far more appropri ate and candid titles of courtesy." This is a severe but not unmerited rebuke. The evidence before the committees exhibits the dishonorable, ungal'ant, and ignoble members of Parliament, as well as their wor thy constituencies, in very unenviable and disgraceful associations It is amusing to see the various shifts, crafty devi ces, and ingenious subterfuges, by which the corrupt purchase of votes is sought to be concealed. One elec tor goes into his sister's chamber, looks on the bed, and there finds ten pounds He knows not whence the money came, nor whose it is, but pockets it and votes right. Another elector backs into a room with his hands behind him. and comes out again with mo ney in his palm. Of course he is ignorant of his gen erous benefactor. Another elector buys cattle of one of the candidates at unaccountable low prices, or at very high prices, with an indefinite credit. By all such expedients do the honorable members of Parlia ment contrive to cloak the bribery and corruption by which they secure their seats. Of course they are ig norant of the unworthy acts of their agents; they on ly know that in the end the representation of a borough costs a pretty round sum. Various remedies, more or less stringent, are sug gested for the suppression of this growing evil. It is evident that it is not enough merely to disfranchise the borough or " unseat" the member. An extension of the riht of suffrage and the substitution of the bal lot-box for the poll, would doubtless work the cure. This is the remedy proposed by the liberals; but with very little chance of success; the public sentiment of Great Britain is not ripe for the reform. Wash. Un. Highway of the Ocean. Ail article in Chambers' Journal, entitled " Steam around the Cape," contains the following explanatory remarks: " Persons who do not pay special attention to nau tical matters are likely enough to suppose that, con sidering the large number of vessels at sea, the sur face of the great ocean must be doited over, almost in every part, with the sails of the countless fleet. This, however, is not the case; the ocean, like the land, has its frequented highways and its wide regions of lone liness. If an observer, furni-hed with a forty-Her-schel-telescope power of vision, could be elevated to a height great enough to give him a view of the whole At antic, he would be struck by beholding hun dreds of vessels following one another upon certain lines along a very irresrular course, while over a very large portion of the surface not a sail would be visi ble. "Thus he would see the ships which leave this country for the Cape or India pursue at the first a south-westerly course until they reached the neigh borhood of Madeira, then keep more directly to the south, at a safe distance from the African coast, until they crossed the line ; then stretch away again to the south-west, in the direction of South America, till the' gain the zone of westerly winds; vand finally, making a rather sharp turn into these winds, go bow ling along before them to the eastward till they arrive at the Cape, or elso, if so directed, pass to the south ward of it. " On the return voyage a similar circuitous route is pursued, although ihe courses are in some extent re versed, the widest circuit, or deviation from the direct line, being made in the northern instead of t'e south ern hemisphere. In the extensive spaces on either side of these frequented routes few vessels will be seen. Here and there an African trader might occa sionally be perceived, dodging from port to port ; or a slaver scud ling swiftly across the ocean perhaps with a royal cruiser following steadily upon her track, like a fierce bloodhound in pursuit." Horrors ol the Northern Cities Within the last week or two, the annals of crime in the Northern cities have been swelling by some of the blackest and most startling deeds. We have seen the rare ex ample of a son giving his testimony against his father, and convicting him of a horrible murder, in Philadel phia, followed by another son giving his testimony in New York against his father, and that father the murderer of his own wife in the most brutal manner. Then there is the mother in New York, strangling her babe, from shame of its complexion, it being the offspring of amalgamation. Then, horror of horrors, we have the mother endeavoring to destroy her little hoy, three years old, because he had nothing to give him to eat, and had rather kill him than see him suffer! These horrors are under the very noses of those self-styled philanthropists who are ever busying themselves in the behalf of the poor slave who does not know what misery is unil begets into their hands! Let these look around them. The Greeks are all out doors !" A Bear Shot with a Candle. A few days ago," says the Toronto Colonist, " a large bear, owned by Mr. Privat, who resides on the Peninsula, opposite Toronto, was shot in rather a novel manner a com mon candle having been put in place of a ball into the gun. The candle entered immediately behind the ear, and almost instantly deprived the animal of life. The carcase was afterwards exhibited by the purchaser, Mr. Steers, at the corner of the market block. It was very fat, and was about four years old. We have no noubt but Mr. Steers will do well by his purchase." AT. Y. Spirit of the Times Etiquette A correspondent of the New York Tribune, writing from Havana, thus notices the cer emony attending a turn out to a fire in that city : " A Spaniard, who arrived at the place soon after the fire shewed itself, found the firemen of the place ranged in front of the building inactive, while the flames were devouring everything in their way. He asked why they did not commence to extinguish the fire They replied that their chief had not come, and they were waiting his commands. In a quarter of an hour the chief appeared, and all the other au thorities, military and civil, in their uniforms, as stiff as starch. Then came the calling of the muster-roll. The flames had now gutted the building, and done other damage, and a party of French sol diers, from two men-of-war, with their engines, had put the surrounding buildings out of danger, leaving to the noisy and much applauded Spanish chiefs and their crew, the harmless embers to extinguish." An American, named P. E. Ha!l. is Vice-Principal of the new college which tha British authorities ha?e instituted at , Benares, India. 4 He has spent seven jeargin Hindustan, studying the Sanscrit language, and is said to be a very learned and accomplished man. .

Flet cb - ; er Woodward, of Syracuse, to Miss Susan Deniru in the Buffilo Republic of the 29th ult. The 4 guar dian' alluded to is 'Jack Winans,' a very gnod coroie actor, and step-fathei of Susan and Kate Denin? It has been frequently intimated thai , he exercised very strict guardianship over bis beautiful and. lam ented step daughters, and the failure of Alias Susan to receive the letters of Mr. Woodward gives a strong, coloring to the rumor. It appears the courtship, so far as the lady was concerned, was very bjief,fl uf she nevertheless married a gentleman of excel en: character and amiable disposition, and the young couple have the best wishes of hosts of friend in thi community, for their future prosperity nnd ,happv ness : " . - -,. ; ; sjia"f, Our city was the scene of an . exciting affair yes terday, the general outlines of which we consider of sufficient public interest to give in detail. " Miss Susan Denin, the handsome and clever ytrung nctrc8s, yesterday became Mrs F. Woodward, hav-' Ing been married rather unexpectedly. It appear that Mr. W., who is a gentleman from Syracuse, in excellent business and affluent circumstances,- has for a year or more been in love with Miss Denifi.1-3 He has followed her from place to place,4 has writ ten her letter after letter, but liila nfe'vef been 'able to make her acquaintance, and his letters werefrey er received, it now seems, by the young lady. Oft' Saturday, it is reputed, Miss Denin bad some- disa greement with her step-father and guardian 'Yes terday mo-ning the friendly relations between them had not been re-umed, which young W. tried to turn to his own ndvantnge. His father, at his re quest, called on Miss u.s guardian, she navmg hn- ished her eighteenth year, and proposed the n mar- riage of his son and Miss D , offering, it is said, t g've the guardian a large sum ($5,000 is named) for any prospective loss he might sustain. Thi. was refused.. Young W. then gave a domestic $50 to" carry a note to Miss D , during her guardian's tem porary absence. The colored gentleman. proved a faithful Ganymede, and delivered the missive. Miss D. sent for the writer she had never seen him; He arrived at her room door, when she met nira " " Do you want to marry me ? Are you in earn est was her salutation. , , . ; " I do, and will." u Send for a priest." The Rev. Mr. Sheldon answered tho summons, Mr. Warren and his lady and some other friends were present, and the ceremony was performed. ,..? The party, consisting of the happy couple, the sister, Miss Kate Den'n, and the governess of ' thf young lady, left on the cars last evening for the east. We learn that the new couple will again make this city a visit in about two weeks. , There are divers rumors as to the conduct of her' guardian, which we do not deem necessary to pub lish, if true, and we know nothing of their truth or falsity. . .. - We are informed that the statement in relation to the interference of Mr. Woodward father is with out foundation. The party passed -through,, Syra-; cuse on the 29th ult., on their way to New " York -: They were accompanied by the mother of the bride , groom. ...... ; Contemplated Marriage of Miss Julia Dean -The Cincinnati Times of the 27th ult. says thai Miss Julia Dean is boon to become the wife of Mr." Thomas D. Jones. Mr. Jones is an accomplished gentleman, and a promising young sculptor, of Cin cinnati. , A Immensity of Space. '; : This extract from a paper of De Quin cy's on Lord Ross's Telescope, and the wonderful nature of its revelations, is well worthy of perusal ; It is partly a translation from that most remarkable of German writers, Jean Paul P-ichter, and presents to the mind an idea of the vastness of spaee,' which is truly startling and sublime. . f - r God called up from dreams a man into the vesti bule of heaven, saying, come thou hither , and see the glory of my house." And to the eertnnte that stood around his throne, he said, "Tnke h?fu , and undress him from his robes of flesh ; cleanse bis vision, and put a new breath into his nostrils ; only touch not with any change his human . heart th5, heart that weeps and trembles.'' It was done ; ami with a mighty angel for his guide, the man stood ready for his infinite voyage ; and from the'terraers of heaven, without sound or farewell, at once they wheeled away into endless space. Sometimes with the solemn flight of angel wing they fled through Zaararphs of darkness, through wilderness of denth. that divided the worlds of life ; sometimes they "swept s over frontiers, that were quickening under prophet-? ic motions from God. Then from a distance that is., counted only in heaven, light dawned for a tinm,'. through a sleepy film; by unutterable pace the light' swept to them, they by unutterable pace to the light; in a moment the rushing of plane s-was upon them; in a moment the blazings of suns was around them Then came eternities of twilight, that revealed but were not revealed. To the right hand and to the left towered mighty; constellations, that by self-repetitions and answer-' from afar, that by counter positions, built; up tri . umphant gates whose architraves, whose archway- horizontal, upright rested, rose at attitudes, by ip mi that seemed ghostly from ingnitude. With 0 it measure were the architraves, past number were ? the archways, beyond memory , the gates. Within were utairs that scaled the eternities above, that de scended to the eternities below; above was belpw,; below them was above to the man stripped of grav. itat'ng body ; depth was swallowed up in height i surmountable, height was swallowed up in depth unfathomable. Suddenly as thus they rode from infinite, suddenly as thus they titled over abyma-.. worlds, a mighty cry arose that systems more mys-) terio is, that worlds more bi lowy other heights,. ) and other depths were coming, were at band. J; Then the man sighed and stooged, shuddend nnd wept. His overladen heart uttered itself in tears and he said, " Angel, I will go no further For. the spirit of man aches with this infinity. Insuffer- able is the glory of God. Let me lie down in ;thes grave from the persecutions of the infinite ; for end 1 see there is none." And from all ; the lifteningi stars that shone around issued a choral voice ? ''The ; man speaks truly, end there is none that ever yet uv heard of." End is there none?" the angel sol emnly d -manded. " Is there indeed no end ? ' And is this the soirow that kills you ?' . But no voice , answered, that he might answer himself. Then the angel threw up his glorious hands to the heavens.' saying, il End is there none to the universe of God ? Lo! also there is no beginning." 4 ,,') .i The Boston Journal tells a story of Gen. Pierce to this purport : The President had appointed, on the recommendation of two United States Senators, a ' man to office, who was so exhilerated that be gave loose to his appetite and became intoxicated. ,a This 5 fact coming to the knowledge of thea parties wb ; had recommended him, they asked for his removal ' from office but thfc request the President refused to accede to, remarking to them as follows: , liV- 'But if I were to remove hfru now, the conse : quence would be inevitable ruin to him , The sham 5 and disappointment attending his dismissal-from 1 office under these circumstances Would lead him tn ': find solace in the intoxicating bowl, and he would become a confirmed inebriate; whereas, if this con- h versationis rep- ated to bim, he may. and probably will reform, and become a sober and exemplary, cit izen. I 6hall not remove him from office for this of , fence but this, as it has been the first, so it will 1 the last time I can forgive him," r .1 . . Returning the Compliment Mr. M arch, sVeak ing of the relief sent to Madeira from JBoston, say' : '"i " Long after , those who will be ; kept alive by it shall have gone to their last homes, the very name . of Boston will be almost worshipped by Madeira." i v This is only returning the compliment, ; for rhe came of Madeira has. for, a long UmeUbeen almost v worshipped by the solid men of Boston. The above appears in the Providence Journal. Tf
