a lend'd a tbi"g to do, auflh as no commin
uian could concf ive of, ani such as no man,
miuon or uncommon, ever did, that I know
of 00 eo large scale I refer tc the man who,
in the mid-t of life an I pro. perity, takes half
a million oat of bis epit-), pays it over and
consecrates it to tbe intellectual culture of
bis fe'low citizens. He never to touch it
agaiu taken right out of his fortune, no
Hio e titliingof an income, but the solid cap
ital, itself a gret fortune. Heroism I call
it. Who eve did auch a thing before! How
many eu'd conceive of its bene done ?
j How many comprehend it now it is don ? it
1 is ao much above the level of tbe woild's ev
ery day thought and practice. A magnifi
cent heroism it is It will take the world a
I.ng tie to grow np even to a comprehen
sion of it. Liberal things are done every
day, but where is the match of that!" .

Jewish Priest in his temple, or titled Roman

slavery wa' ail" abrat bim, neither He nor His
Apostles ever preached an abolition sermon.
The slavery Cnrist saw daily was that under
which a master could sell a slave, work him a
many hours as he pleased, or put him to death

Slave- lealers usually accompanied an army, aud

PREPARATION FOR THE PASSOVER.
The annual observance of this institution,
(""hicb the Bible reader need not be told dates
back t" the period of the exodus of the children
of Israel from the land of the Pharaohs,) com
mences this year on Wed nesd ly, the 8th of April,
and the Jewish population of the world are already
m iking preparations for its celebration. The
p'e'iminary requisite is to obtain tbe "'unleavqt
ed bread " Of this the Louisvile Journ-l says :
This Matzot cak is baked almost exclusively
in the city of New York, ard thence sent to all
portl-ns of the country. It is made sole'y of the
lie.- wheat flour and pure water. A certain
quanti'y of water is added to a certain weight of
Hour. It -s mixed up, not kneeded as the house
wife or ordinary baer does common dough, with
the hands, nor yet as the pilot bread baker does,
" with his feet" but broken with a sort of a
lever, one end is raided up and down by a boy
whoif s upon it and springs himself up and down
verv much as boy do who phty 'see saw." The
dough, after beinq broken,, undergoes a rolling
p-oess, betwe-n two sets of rolle-s. It is then
placed npn tbe feed board of an apparatus sira
ilr to a cracker machine, and, it is then snbject
eo. to another rolling, after which it; falls upon a
linen bu.k apron, wt ich carries it:along under

Result of "astt Legislation. The
National Lvel'ige icer mentions an omission,
resnl iug from the h'sty legislation of the
i tt Congress, which isof no little importance.
It uppear that although the committee of
wais uod uicaus liad reported an item of three
u- udred and sixty thousand do'lars for the
national armories, no such item appears in
tfce la-, and h mauufact"re of arms for tbe
current year must be considerably curtailed,
or the financial ingenuity of the War Dep-trt- t
ment must te exercised to nnd a method of
borrow'ng from some other fund.

i
sermons, t ither for some member of the congrega

There ia no abatement of excitememV ;At 3 o'chick,
the boJy of the Rev Mr. Booker, Baptist miDis
tcr, was placed at the foot of the pulpit in bis own
church in Park-street. The . funeral ser-nonj
wbi"h was preached by tbe. Rev. Mr. Harpar,
was listened to with breathless attention by a large
and sorrowing congregation. The church" was
raped in blak. After the sermon the f uoerai took
place; th b"dy was attended to the cemetery by
a large assemblage. Asseveral of the unfortunate
passsangers were buried to-day; the scene at the
cemetery was gloomy and sorrowfu' in the ex
treme " Ex-councilman Donald Stuart's remain
were conveyed to St. Mary's cemetery ,the bishops
being at the head of rb.e processtn; which could
not have comprised 'ess than 80 carriages, bsid--s
housands of ped-strians. , jMr". Stevensoa re
mains and those of Mr. Henderson were couvey
h to "tha , BnrTinsrton cemeterv "toother, and
followed by! a still larger dumber of carriages.'
Indeed, tbe procession of carriages could scarcely
have been less than two miles long. Hamilt-m

yesterday. The spectacle of a whole city in
mourning was Strang and thrilling in the ex-,

Thb Scene inside the Last Cab. It seems
that notwithstanding the pe-pendicular position
in which thig car went down into tbe canal, rno-t
of the passengers retained their seats until the
car struck the bottom. Oue gentleman, who i
now no more, stated on Saturday afternoon; that
be and the rest all kept their seats, as it seemed
to him, unaccountably Although tbisoTCum
stance adm'ts of ao easy explanation, according
to natural laws, wheU the sudden shook occurred
consequent on the termination of the leap f 60
fee, the seats were all joIfed from this position.
The gentleman alluded to said he was perfeoMy
oonscious of the seat above bim, and its occupant,
intently striking that on which he wat, and

Th House of Assemblv of. Canada has ap
pointed a committee of investigation to inquire
into the cause of the accident. - ; , . ., .
Hamilton, March 23. The engine which was
fsuVimerged in the late accideut at tbe Desjardins
Canal w;is raised to day, and the bridge, which:
is now repaired, was tested. The , engine was
raised by pullies nd derricks; to the top of the
water. The forward truck on the right side of
the engine was broken fT. From the position of
the engine as it lay on its p'de at tfe bottom of
the canal, it seems impossible that the wheel was
broken off by the fall. Everything goes to show
that the ax'e was broken on the bridge or very
near it, and that the fall of the bridge ""as from
the concussion. The bridge, was tested to-day
with thre heavy English engines - and hardlv
any vibration was perceptible.'
The South Producing Its own Negeo
Iinstrels A Lilliputian band of negro
mnstrls has been formed in Sontb Carolina.
It i9 composed of. negTo slaves, the eldest be
ing not more than thirteen year of age , aid
seldom have we seen so - much talent and
musical, artiatical culture as these boys pos
sess. They are rare wonders in themselves,
and well deserve the patronage of the South.
Their proficiency in muic is but a proof of
th acknowledged talents all our slaves have
for that pleasing art ; and their success should
stimulate ail our planters to have negro
Dands of their own, as they afford a source of
pleasing amusement, both- to the slaves and
the;r owners. , 1
The Charleston Meron.Ty learns, from an
authentic source, that Col. j P. Richardson,
of Sampler District, it. Siath Carolina, the
ownr of the wonderful prodigies of musio,
which compose this band, has placed them
at the dispo8.il of two of hU friends, who in

offer, for the purpose of talcing them on a tour
through the slaveholding States of the Union
The first concert wiU be eiveti n Columbia,
after which they will perform in Charleston,

Zimmerman, the Million aire.- Sacu'l
Zimmerman, who was killed by the Great
Western Railrrad accident, wa s a native of
Huntingdon county, Pa. y but fo r some tirrie
resided at Niagara Falls, owns the 'Clifton
House, and at the time of his death, wa es
timated. to be worth at 1 ea.it a million of dol
lars Mr. Zimmerman . less tiian twenty !
years ago worked at his trade, which we be,
lieve, was that of a blacksmith' in the cen
tral part of this State. He, how ever, pulled
np stakes one fine morning, turn ed his face
toward the setting sun, and hi b family in
Pennsylvania, lost sight of him e ntirely. In
the meantime a younger brother, by frugally
taking care of his earnings, was enabled to
start a coach line between Spruce Creek and
Williamsburg, consisting of a f oar-wheeled
vehicle and two horses, which he drove' hitu
sslf. Several years ago a gentlem an stopped
at Spruce Creek and desired to be? driven; to
Williamsburg, but there being no other pas
senger, the proprietor of the aforesaid Mine"
at first objected. He .nevertheless consent
ed, and when the stranger got oat he handed
him instead of the usual fare thei 3e dol
lars a three hundred dollar biU. This be-
gaa to open Bill's eyes to the importance of
his passenger, and he soon discovered that
he was no other than his brother Sam, so
disguised in good clothes that a thirty miles
ride had not nndeceived him. Subsequently
the now wealthy banker bought bis poorer
brother a farm worth $5,000 in Hli aois, on
which he now resides. Pittsbure Past. .;

There are numerous other Deniocrats jus' as worthy

If Mr, Bcohanak intends to carry out the pol

Tobacco. It is assumed by British ita
tisticians that the yearly consumption of to
bacco in Great Britain and Ireland amounts
to 26,000 tons ; about one-half of which, It
is supposed, is smuggled, owning to the ex
cessive duties (upwards of 1,000 per cent.)
levied on the article under the tariff ay stem
of that kingdom. The quantity of cigars
and snuff imported does not exceed two or
three hundred weight per annum. '
