CCThere has been a serious Revolt in
Harvard University. Most of the Sopho

Students have addressed the public.
The Students' address charges "the
President with expressing ill-will towards
the Southern students, and desiring to
exclude from the benefits of ihe college
all but New Englanders. Another sub
ject of grave complaint is the course of
the faculty in having recourse to the civil

J'But au rlvoir. The press of lids
:itv he described, in reference to the
subject, as being not only unjust and illib
eral, but, as he feared, venal. If the im
putation is intended to apply to this pa
per, we can assure the reverend gentle
man, that with whatever respect we may
heretofore have regarded him, it will not
be increased by a charge so reckless and
unjust. Even thequalifieation of I fear
scarcely rescues it from the epithet of
false.
The incongruities in his address were
numerous and palpable. lie denied the
xox populi doctrine, and yet asserted the
indomitable power of public opinion, and
grounded thereon the hopes of its swav
in eliecting immediate emancipation. .
He denied thai there were one thousand
colonists in Liberia, ami considered the
colonization scheme as an impracticable
theoretic enterprise, and yet, in the course
of remarks, observed that "God was the
greatest theorist in the universe." We
were somewhat startled by the boldness,
not to sav irreverence of such a remark:
but we were still more astounded by his
assertion that "Jesus Christ was a col
ored man.'1
The epithet of colored has been adopted
from courtesy on the part of the whites, in
kindness to ihe feelings of the blacks.
But colored men, black men, and negro
men, after all, mean the same thing.
The result is, that Dr. Cox alleges that
our Saviour was a negro an averment
as revolting to the moral sense of the
community, as it is distant from historic
truth. Our Saviour was born in Judea
and every body knows that the distinc
tive features of the Jewish and African
races are altogether dissimilar. The
former have never possessed the splay
foot, ihe crooked shin, the thick lips, the
crisped wool, the fnetor, or any other of
those marks of the Cush origin that dis
tinguish the latter. They were utterly
distinct from the Egyptians, even in the
days of their bondage. In all respects
they were a distant and peculiar people.
They were kept distinct while in Egypt,
mid in the establishment of their civil
policy, by God himself, they were set a
part forever, as a peculiar and isolated
people hedged up on every side, and
by every legal form, and in all the cere
monials of their complicated rites of
worship, to prevent their mingling' with

Grtat Loss of Lice. We published
afew days ago, says a New York pa
pr, a list of ten vessels lost on their way
K Quebec, with 456 lives. The last
Mmtreal Gazette contains an additional
li of the loss of eight other vessels and
wh 243 lives, making a total loss of
cijiteen vessels and 740 lives within a

Ctnmerce justly remarks that either cra
zy ships were employed, or that they
wei commanded by incompetent men.

Police. Office. Many of our readers
recollect Antoint Alalapar, and not a
few of them have painful reason to re
member him, when in confederacy with
a joint stock company of swindlers, he
ilourished as President of the Marble
Bank, and passed off upon our unsuspec
ting citizens an enormous amount of its
worthless notes. Less fortunate than
some of his associates, Malapar has drain
ed the cup of adversity to the very dregs.

Yesterday, while Mr. Justice Lowndes
was presiding, a miserable object, with
hands and face begrimed with dirt, and
whose whole appearance indicated the
extreme of distress, made application for
assistance. W 1 1 rt t is it vou want, Mala
par? said the magistrate. "A shirt to
cover my nakedness," replied the pauper,
"or if Viu refuse me that favor, clap me
in a coffin right away and bury me in
Potters Field, for that after all will be the
best." "You shall be better provided for,"
said the worthy Justice, who instantly
made out an order for his admission into
the Alms House. Ar. Y. Cour.

Sudden Death. An awfully impres
sive death occurred at the dinner table of
the City Hotel, yesterday. Charles
Baldwin, Esq., a gentleman, extensively
known and admired for his patriotism,
talent, and purity of character, was smit
ten with the icy hand of death, while, ap
parently in the best of health and vigor.
It appears he had taken his seat at ihe
table, and when in the act of handing Jus
plate, he fell back in his chair, and died
without the least appearance of pain.
His transmigration from the cares and
troubles of this world, was instantaneous.
His loss is seriously deplored by a vast
assemblage of personal friends and ac
quaintances. Ar. Y. Star.

store would probably have fallen a victim

Horrible Rail lload Accident. We
give the following particulars of a sad ac
cident upon the Columbia Rail road com
mencing at Philadelphia; we derive the
information from the Gazette of that city,
of yesterday afternoon.
"This morning a dreadful accident
happened on the inclined plane of the
Columbia Rail road, on ihe west side of
the Schuylkill river. Several burden
cars iaden with iron, were passing up the
plane, followed by a number of passen
ger cars, while other cars were at the
bottom of the plane in waiting. The
rope employed for raising the cars, being;
insufficient to sustain the immense weight,
broke, and precipitated the whole train
upon those remaining below. The ve
locity of their descent occasioned an aw
ful concussion; the passengers were
thrown out in every direction, and many
were horribly mutilated and bruised.
The extent of the accident was not known
when our informant left the spot, but
throe or four persons dreadfully wounded,
had been borne off to the hospital." ib
Siamese Twins. Our village hag
been gratified with a sight of the far
famed phenomenon which has so much
puzzled Physiologists, and astonished
the rest of the world. The curiosity
consists in two completely formed human
bodies being indissolubly bound together
with a strong cartilageoous substance a
bout eight inches in circumference, and a
bout 4 inches long, also in the perfect
coincidence of the motions and in the
facility of which they each perform the
ordinary functions of life. We have not
time or disposition to add our speculations
to the mass of wisdom and nonsense
which has been written about this singu
lar freak of nature; they who wish more
minute information can be gratified by
procuring a historical and scientific trea
tise which the twins have had published,
and have for sale and for the perfect ac
curacy of the historical part of which they
vouch. We advise every curious visitor
to procure one of these pamphlets, as
without it one's curiosity is only irritated
and left unsatisfied.
The Siamese brothers were brought to
this country in August 1829, by Capt.
Coffin, of Newburyport, Mass. under a
contract with the mother, which we are
sorry to learn has not been fulfilled by
him. In November following, they were
taken to England, where they remained
18 months, after which time they came
back to this country, and have visited
most of the States of the Union (this be
ing the 21st.) They are now 23 years,
old, and of course are their own men,
acting as the law expresses it "for their
own behoof and emolument." They
speak the English language with ease
and distinctness, and from what we can
infer are more than ordinarily sprightly
in intellect.
We learn from them, that they intend
making a tour through the whole State.
They intend to be in Raleigh on the 4th
of July next: In the mean time, they will
visit the following places, Salem, Ger
manton. Wentworth, Leaksville, Yancy
ville, Roxborough, Oxford, Louisburg
and possibly Chapel Hill at the com
mencement. Balisb unj Paper.

is however, an American by adoption,
and an American we believe in all his
feeling..
