' -A' deeper glance into her sou W'wiU how that a beaty reality of sorrow wss spreading, by de grees, a dark cloud over t lie splendor ot her yonthfal dreams. like early evening, it came over the path of tbe young pilgrim of life ; and earnestly, but in rain, she endeavored to escape it. The air was dimmed as by a heavy fall ot now ; darkness increased, and it. became night. And to the depth of that endless winter night, she heard lamenting voices frouT the eaat. and from the west; from plant end animal i from dy ing natare and despairing humanity; and she saw life, wil all it beiuty. ita iuve,iis throbbing heart, buried alive beneath a cbill covering of ice. Heaven seemed dark and void ; there eeemed to her no eyes, even as there waa no heart. All wis dead, or, rather, all was dying excepting- There it a significant picture, at the commence ment, in every mythology. I a the beginning, there is a bright and Warm, and divine principle which allies itself to, darkness; and fmtn this Union of .light and darkness of fires snd tears -proceeds, a God. I believe that some hiug similar to this takes place in every hunun bein? who is bora to a deeper life; and something similar took place in her who writes these tines. Looking at her a few years later, it will be seen that a great change has taken place in her. Her eyes have long been filled with tears of un speakable joy ; she is like one who has risen from the grave to a new life. What has cu.ed this great change 1 - Have Iter splendid youthful dreams been, accomplished I Is she a heroine ! Has she! become victorious in beauty, or in re nown r No; nothing of this kind. The illu skws of youth are past the seaaon of youth is over. And ret she hi again rttunir ! fr there is freedom in the depth of her soul, and let there be light has been spoken above its dark chaos ; and the light haa penetrated the darkneMrand illuminated the night, whilst, with her eye fixed upon that light, she has exclaimed with the tears of joy, Death, where is tby a ting ! Grave, where ia thy victory !' - Many a grave since then has - been opened to receive those whom she tenderly loved ; many a pang haa been felt since then ; but the heart throbs joyfully, snd the' dark night Is over. Yes, it is over ; but not the fruit which it has torue ; for there are certain flawers which first unfold in the darkness; so it is also in the midnight hours of great suffering ; the human soul opens itself to the light of eternal stars. If it be desired to bear anything of my wri tings, it maybe said they began in the eighth year or my age, when I apostrophised the moon in French rersea, and that daring tbe great er part of my yonthvl continued to write ia the same sublime strain. 1 wrote under the impulse of restless youthful feelings. ' I wrote in order to write. Afterwards I siezed the pen under the iofiaeace of another motive, and I wrote that which I had read. At th present time, when I stand on the verge of tbe autumn of my life, I still see the same objects which surrounded me in tbe early days of my spring, and 1 sm so happy as still to possess, oat of many dear ones, a beloved moth er and sister. The mountains whirh surround our dwelling, and apoa which Guutus Adl- f bus assembled his troops, before be went as de iverer to Germany, appear, to me not lets beau tiful than they were inihe days of my childhood; they have increased, ia interesC. ior '1 am now better acquainted with their grasses and. their flowers.

Frtmthe Scientific' Rtperh There exists a race of men who, according to I the report of certain travellers, are originally of Jffel the report of certain travellers, are originally of the Inngdomof Uondar, or of others, who say they inhabit Soudan in. the South, whose Zoological eharacteristics are remafkable.They hare a tail- like appendage formed by the elongation of the rertebrai column, ana tney are tne last link m the I human race." 1 he tuave mercants cannot disnose 1 of them without difficulty, so bad is their reputa- rr i i - .

I nis race oi men is very lar Denina that of which Fourier dreamed, and which was, some day to become the type of manly beauty, morally and physically. M. Du Couret, who was in Mecca in tbe year 1843. saw an individual of the species we have just mentioned, and belonging, he was told, to the breed of Ghilanes in the South. Though it be not the first time that we hare heard of the race of men spoken of, who are furnished with tails, ne vertheless the fact is not suffieieotly common lo take away its interest. We will, therefore, enter somewhat in detail upon this strange organic manifestation. " I inhabited Mecca in 1&42," sap M. Du Couret, "and being often at the house of. an Emir with whom I was intimate, I Spoke to him of the Ghilane race, and told him how much the Europeans doubted of the existence of men with tails, that is to say, the retebral col umn elongated-externally. In order to convince me of the reality of the species, the Emir ordered before me one of his slaves called Belial, who was about thirty years ok), who had tad, and who be longed to this tribe. On surveying this man I was thoroughly convinced. He spoke Arabic well, and appeared rather intelligent. He told me that in this country, far beyond the jSennar, which he had crossed,' they spoke a different language ; this, for want of practice, he had entirely forgotten ; that of his compatriots, whom he estimated at 30 or 40 thousand, some worshipped the sun, the moon or stars ; others, the serpent and the sources 1 of an immense river, in which they immolated their vicums probably the mouth of the Nile that they ate with delight raw flesh, as bloody as possible, and that they loved human flesh, above all things Uhat, after their battles with the neighbor ing tribes, they slaughtered and devoured their pri soners without disunction of age or sex, but that the women and children were preferable, the flesh being more delicate. This Ghilane had become a devout Mussulman and had lived 15 years in the Holy City. The fondness, the necessity, eren for raw flesh (it re ally was a want for him) did not fail to return up on him ; and his master, therefore, by a precau tion, nerer failed; when this fit was on him, to provide him with an enormous piece of raw mut ton, which he consumed ravenously, before every body. This desire for raw flesh showed itself pe riodically ; sometimes twice a week. Being ask ed why he did not try to correct such a habit, he answered with great frankness : ' I have often tried to overcome this appetite, which I received from my father and mother. In my country, great and small, young and old J live in this man- ier, besides eating nesn, irutts and vegetables. If my master neglected to supply this require ment of my nature, I am sure I could not resist the desire which possesses me of devouring some thing, and I should cause great sorrow by falling on some person too weak to contend with me an infant for example.' Having asked him to al low me to see him naked, (for 1 wished to sketch him) he resisted for a long time, but finally yield ed, on receiving the promise of an entirely new dress, which I was to send him, and he came pri vately to my house, where he took off the scanty shirt of coarse blue linen which he were. I was thus enabled to contemplate him quite at my ease, and to paint his portrait, without exposing him to the punishment which would have been inflicted on him, if he had been detected by his fanatical and superstitious master." The drawing made under these circumstances has been placed under the eyes of the Academy. Mabbls asd LucesTOMB Qvaaaics.

The Nevr York Express, of Sa turday afternoon, fire the following account of the closing scenes thai morning. In; the Astor Opera House trials. $ :HAt the opening r the court, this raorau, Mr. Cornell, in behaltof his client, Adriance, read a deposition made by the defendant, that he had been drawn into the crowd by , the passing of -the multitude, and was arrested ; that he did not wear lher dress alleged to be "worn J that he went to the scene through curiosity j that, he did not attempt to rescue a prisoner as stated, and that the charges against him are not true. , , . v . sr - The other prisoners also7 put in a plea of defence. Mr. Smith, on the part of Mr. Judson; wished to hare lime to prepare a bill of exceptions. , " witti-Tne application on the part of J udson has been laid before, but it is only m extreme ca ses allowed. He would not grant it. Judson, on being asked what he had to say, re nhd ? May if Pltmt lAs Court I hare something to say,having unwillinglv been made a prisoner here, by "a.band of men I never . saw before I cn- tered this court. J hare something to say, too, on behalf of the poof boys who sit here mere boys who were selected for arrest because tney naa no mnnT tn fp pfiiinsrl i . ... fHere the court intemosed. : and reminded Jud son that he was permitted to answer for himself only, and not fofothersv . I will say something in my own defence. Were I guilty of the crimes, of . which I hare been con victed in this court, I should cover my face with a blush on my cheek, and hide my head -in sname and despair. But, I hare affidavits to show that men in that jury box went there prejudiced against me. 1 am prepared to show that one of these ju rors, Mr. Page, said before be came here, that we all ought lo be hanged. -Two other jurors came thereafter very peremptory challenges, expres sing strong personal preiudices against me, which I hare not been allowed opportunity to combat. But I bow to the supremacy of the laws. This is the first time I was ever before arraigned in a court of justice. Though accused of being a murderer and a seducer, never before hare 1 been nlaced before iudse or jury. If I hare been a mur derer or a seducer, whr was I permitted so long to run at large ? Why was I not arrested before I My character has been vindictively assailed, as man never was before assailed. I hare been pro- nouueed a scoundrel of the deepest dve. and all the testimonr of good character which I might produce, has been passed by silently and unheed ed. I might offer letters from men high in office and enjoying the confidence and respect of the country, to prove what my character is, and what the value of the services I have rendered my coun try from childhood up. But your verdict is given, and I am here to go wherever the court please to send me. 1 feel it, howerer, a duty I owe to my friends that my character should not be wantonly assailed, without one word of defence from ray own lips. And if I am not permitted to defend it here, thank God, I can at least speak to the pub lic through the press. And, sir, (addressing the Judge,) I have not been tried by a friendly jury, nor by an unprejudiced court. I go to meet my fate, as the martyrs of old went to the stake. Pro- nounce your sentence l ask no favors ot you now. When Judson had concluded his remarks, the other prisoners were called on for any reasons they might hare why the sentence should not be pro nounced on them. They were all mute, and the Judge proceeded to address them. Commenting on the position of the prisoners, Bennett, Math ews, Douglas, and O'Neil, in favor of whom many mitigating circumstances had appeared, he stated that in consideration of their youth and social po sition, the fact that several of them had been pro ven to bestow a portion of their daily earnings on feeble and aged relatives, the majesty of the law appeared to nave been sufficiently vindicated by their conviction, and therefore the minimum pun ishment consistent with the discharge of the du ties of the court would be inflicted, and they would be sentenced each to a confinement of thirty days in the city prison. In relation to Adriance, the case was not at all similar; aggravating circumstances appeared, con spicuous among which was the fact that he had resisted the officers. He appeared to be one of those persons on whom punishment produces a salutary effect, and therefore he was sentenced to three months confinement in the penitentiary. Green an older mau than the first prisoners appeared guilty in the form of the indictment, but from the fact of his good character, proven by his having remained since his arrival in the country in the employment of one individual, was senten ced to the penitentiary for one month. The pris oner Hosack did not appear, and the sole remain ing one was Judson. Judge Daly said in relation to this individual, that he appeared to have created the riot, and to have shrunk only from the responsibility, not from crime ; that the recklessness of his conduct was unprecedented, and that there was reason to justify a suspicion that yet a higher crime, arson, had been meditated without regard to the danger of the lives of the crowd within the theatre. No mitigating circumstance appeared, and therefore the maxim u m punishment was awarded. He felt most impressively the inadequacy of his power to enforce the majesty of that law of which he was the official, but imposed the utmost penaltr rm m it permitted. Judson was sentenced to be coufin ed in the penitentiarr for one year, to pay a fine of 250, and to stand committed until the amerce ment should be paid. A statement is going the rounds of the Opposi tion press that an angry correspondence has arisen between this Government and: the British Charge d'Afiairs, Mr. Crampton, about the British claim tn th Mnaniiifo I Vtacf. Thf Whnlf StorV IS A sheer invention. In this respect it is very much like another ridiculous storr circulated by the Demo --t . j t t n cratic press, that tbe Secretary ol Stats naa aa vis ed that Madame Poussin ahould not be received at the Presidents'a and that Mr. Poussin resented it by insulting the Gorernment. It is hardly ne cessary to say that there is no foundation whatev er for such a statement, or for any part of it. There were no unkind feelings between Mr. Pous sin and any member of the Cabinet. The sole cause of our Government taxing onence xs to ne fyund in the correspondence of Mr. Poussin aione. The, Opposition papers hare been filled with other fabrications, which we hardly deem worthy of notice: such as, that Washington's Farewell Address has been sent as part of the instructions to our Foreign Ministers, that tbe Cabinet is divi ded and not harmonious in its action, &c. All this kind of trasli, we suppose, will continue to circulate till after the elections, with a hundred other calumnies upon the President and his Cabi net, which the good sense of the public will ena ble it to detect, in spite of ail the etforts of reckless penny-a-liners and unscrupulous politicians.

If no other provision is made for I he support of those who art mads dependent bit him, it may be his duty to make the sacrifice j .but this Is s ne cessity which might be easily obviated by procu rinff for tho minister a Ilia insurance policy. Much a provision for his umiiy wouiu relieve a minister of much anxiety, which is a great bin dranco to his usefulness. Borne down by such solicitude, much of the sympathy that should contribute to his efficiency in his work, is divert ed Into this channel, opened by the affections, snd is lost to the cause of Christ. It .would be greatly to the interest of the churches lo relieve their ministers of such a bur den and hindrance. Mot of the churches can afford to do this. It is not said that every chureh ought to do it, but most of them can very well raise the small sum necessary to place the fami ly of the minister beyond the reach of want, or of entire dependence on h kindness of friend. Or, if tt is not expedient lor tbe whole congrega tion to do thic, a few friends may make up an an nual subscription that shall meet the case. Most ministers are too poor to procure this benefit lor themselves ; much more are tbey too poor to do without it. (i is one which they will almost certainly need,- if tbey have liiniltes. They must die at some time, and it is to be ex pected that some of their families will survive them, to receive the benefit of the insurance. And what would more effectually attach a minis tcr to his people, or his people to him. than such an act of kindness that affords pcoteclion to his dearest interests ! The calamity of leaving a helpless familr un provided for, is one ol the sorest that can afflict ihe dying bed nf the sell-denying minister. His profession closes to him the avenues to wealth, as it does tbe paths nf political ambition. There is scarcely any other method, except that of life assurance, in which he can possibly lay up a com- netencr for his family, alter his decease, snd often his circumstances aliunol forbid this. It should be borne in mind that such generosity on the part of their people would remove one of the great temptations to leave their profession, snd seek in remunerating pursuits a satisfactory sup- Dort. and adequate provision fur the future com- lort of those most dear tn theiu. Let the church es awake to the importance of this subject, and the ministry will show the benefit of tt.

Their terms and conditions are well worthy tbe consideration of Ministers of tbe Gospel. B. 4- NAVAL SALVAGE. STBONQ CASE IX POINT. It really seems that a French man-of-war de manded and received salvage tor service done merchant vessel stranded on the very rock upon which the Eugenie was run. The law of nations bearing upon this point has already been cited, and the Washington Republic now presents a particular case, which is more conclusive from the fact that its location is identical with the stranding of the Eugenie. It is an official letter to the Navy Department, as touows : Brooklyn, N. Yn Sept. 25, 1849 Sir Having observed in the public prints that M. Poussia, the French Minister, was very much shocked that Commander Carpender ahould have claimed salvage for getting a French vessel off the reef near Vera Cruz, after she had been abandoned by ber com man J er, I take tbe liberty to inform the Department, that, in the early part of 1S30, 1 was at tached to the United States aloop-of-war Peacock, snd while lying at the island of Sacrifictos, near Vera Crux, in company with ths French corvette Ceres, and English brig-of-wir Fairy, at dalight one morning we discovered a vessel on one of ths reefs off that part, with a signal of distress flying. Boats were immediately despatched from the three vessels to render aasistnce. On arriving at the vessel, she proved to be the English brig Ant, fron London, bound to Vera Crus After using every exertion, we could not succeed in getting ber off. The cap tain of the brig, seeing that it was a hopeless case, abandoned her, and requested that wo should save the cargo, if possible. We commenced ths work snd labored for three or four days. Tbe officers snd men, with ths boats from tbe French corvette, saved goods to the amount of St 9.000 ; those from the En glish brig, S23.0U0 ; and those from the Peacock, over S19U.000.

He has resided along time in this country tn whose service he was. as an officer of the corps of Topographical Engineers ; is said to' be deci dedly partial to the United estates snc toourn stitutions, and is, moreover, a good republican, or so thought to be From him, then, of all the di plomatic agents at Washington, should we nave the least expected, by word or deed, a departure from the rules of propriety and punctilio thai regulate the intercourse between governments and the foreign agents accredited to them.1 We know not how this matter is to end; but com what muiiy, the honor of the country must be maintained. The Democratic papers seem to thick they serve a Dart v. if not a patriotic purpose, by cir culating the most ridiculous stories, intended to create the impression that Geo. Taylor is a rery ignorant and foolish old man. One of the moat absurd of these pretended anecdotes, the rery preposterouscesso4 which evinces its own fabul ousness, and indicates tbe worth of the whole ot this kind of Democratic material, is now going the rounds of the opposition press. It sppeared in the Enquirer of yesterday, and tn the Peters burg Republican, of Wednesday last. We copy tt in order to insert s just rebuke from tbe Peters burr Intelligencer:-Ktch.

Taylor to be, their Chief Magistrate. We presume that he would confess the com, and admit that a majority of his countrymen were 'a set of ssses ! l his is the amount or his democracy.
