Matthew Our attention is next directed to Matthew, standing at the left of Feler. Judicious and calm, intelligent and energetic, this faithful follower of our Lord is filled with deep and solemn reflection. His head is somewhat averted from, though he is not inattentive to, the present glorious event. Judas Jscariot. Sly, artful, and active, mean and deceitful, a disguised, closo, subtle quel ist, without great depth of mind, is the general character ol this masterly head of him who could kiss lo betray.

He is lurking; behind, observing all thai passes; nut thut he cures for the poor or diseased, but because it is his business to be present, as he bears the purse of this holy family. From the history, it may be supposed, he went the next morning, or very soon after the occurrence heie represented, to treat with the priests relative to betiayiug Ins Lord; as the time chosen for th's picture appears lobe about five days previous to tha awful catastrophe that closed ihe life of Jestis. The "other Apostles Are admirable heads, finely diversified, and expressive of solemn contemplation, menial vigor, and calmness. They are alike unembarrassed iu mind, and unshackled by any gaudy occou-tretnent of attire; we see simple nature under divine instruction the character of unsophisticated men of sound understanding. ns.

Tbe petitioner has been violently, grossly abused, and we should interpose shield for her protection. This petition, er is legally within ihe limits of this Slate. She had been told by the judicial authority 1 New York, (liat she was at liberty lo go where she chose to go. She has como here, anil mukes and substantiates a claim which we are bound to notice. There is another point, of some importance in the case.

We have had a committee at work upon the petition for more than a week. They have given a report very nearly unanimous (it should have been entirely so) and il is the duly of this House, unless good and sound reasons be given to the contrary, to sustain that report. In conclusion he thought the interests of the public, the maintenance of law for the protection of our citizens, demanded the favorable action of the House. Mr. Perkins said it had been said the petitioner came to Stamford to reside with her friends, and made some enquiries of the committee on that sub ect.

He said he knew.he commenced ibis discussion under great disadvantage and that he knew Ihe considerations which he urged were against the kindlier feelings of our nature. Hut nt ill he thought, lhat as legislators, or rather as judges and jurors, we should look at the subject calmly and deliberately, and enquire whre the proper remedy should be sought. Ile did not propose to uo over the grounds over which he went in the morning. Had they been met, he should have willingly left the mailer lo the consideration of the House. Allusions had been made to precedents.

The whole length anil breadth of these precedents seemed to be ihe case of Mrs. Willard. That was no precedent for him, for he voted against it. Rut because that case passed through this House without discussion, shall it be said we are to let all other cases pass in the same way. He exceedingly regretted the course taken in that case and there-fore should not feel bound to observe silence in relation to this case, ne referred to what had been said about the respond, ent's being bound to Keep the peace, and showed that it was nothing which should at all influence the action of this Legislature.

He said she had a remedy elsewhere. She has not tried that. The Priest and the Levite have not yet passed by, and left us to perform the duty of the goo I Samaritan. He also discussed Ihe subject, of ti regard which would be given 10 Ihe legislative action of this state in other states, and claimed that, if in a case like this, the House should pass an act tianscending their powers, oilier states would regard the record of, such doings as so much waste paper. This state has no jurisdiction whatever beyond its own limits.

It issaid, that whether New York regards action, is of no consequence. 1 think it is of vast consequence. If we go out of our own limits, and interfere with contracts which do not be. long to our jurisdiction, which belong to the tribunals of other States, our acts will nut ba recognized. He entertained as high a respect for the committee as any man; bnl the report of a committee does not bind tha action of ihis House.

The object of submitting such matters lo a committee is to bring the evidence before the House in a condensed form, He fui thor discussed the subject wilh great clearness nnd ability. After some remark by Mr. Foster (which we will give on Monday) in favor of the resolution, the vote on its passage was taken by Yeas 3iid Nays as follows: Yeas 135 Nays 31. So the resolution was passed and repurt accepted. Bill for a publio act to divide the city of Hartford into aix wards for the election of officers, read read second time by its title.

Mr. Niles from Windsor moved its reference to the committee on incorporations other than banks. Mr. Perkins moved the indefinite postponement of the bill and of ihe motion of reference. He said it could but be received with surprise.

At the heel of ihe session, on the very day on which the committee had repo ted that the Legislature might adjourn, this bill is introduced. Hecould only characietize il as a disgraceful proceeding on the part of every individual engaged in it. Mr. Abel said there was not a gentleman here who believed that this bill could be passed at this session, unless we stay here a much longer time than we intend to do. He hoped the subject would be postponed before they left the House.

Previous question on the motion of postponement, moved and sustained; subject indefinitely postponed. Report of committee on banks upon the memorial of the Norwich Savings Socie laid 011 the table afterwards taken up and accepted. Several resolutions were offered relative to the adjournment of the House finally a resolution passed lo adjourn tine die on Wednesday morning next.

From the Portsmouth Journal. ENCOURAGE VOIR OWN." Wo (hust live and learn," my dear, said Franklin to his young wife, when ha taw her bemoaning a new coffee-pot melted dowu on the hot stove. She never forgot Ler impression on teeing the brilliant article leaning first like the tower of Pisa, and then sinking into obscurity, like a rich inun renting from business to become a mere shining lump of ruins; nor did the forget the remark. Neither was she less mindful of another favorite sentiment of her Franklin:" Economy is so legibly written on all the works of creation, it is a virtue which no one should deep ice." Every opportunity that offered for the exorcise of this virtue waa duly improved. The cellar-door never opened without exhibiting an evidence of it for behind it hung a huge memento in the thnpe of a rag-bag, of about a bushel capacity an open recepticle for every little abred of cloth.

Now and then it would receive a larger deposite in the shape of an old dress which riad undergone the mutations of fashion as well as sundry rents from the door-catch and having become too fragile by frequent ablutions, was in consequence passed to this last depository of all things' cottou. These last deposits, however, were not usually made in a moment nor always without a sigh. The recollection ofits good fit Us once bright colors where it had been worn, a 11 seemed to plead that it might once again renew its age in a bed covering. It is brought to the test, it won't bear is the verdict, and it consigned to its resting place. In the course of a year the ponderous bag gradually fills to overflowing and as true economy does notcon-ist in hoarding up, but rather in tinning every thing to the best account, Lucy is on a lookout for a market for her stock.

There is a rap at tho door. Do you want to buy any tin ware, Believe notio day have more now than we I ike to keep B'Jt I have some of the best you ever saw all made by machinery, and cheap as dirt. Just look at thia cake box all planished bright as a looking What do you ask for it Only a dollar, in ig or cash, seventy-five At the sound of the rags, the long collecting stock eouies over her miud and the cake box being a desirable article, she cnnculdes to take it, and the rag bag is hung in the pedlar's steelyards. 'Just twenty pounds, inarm at a rent and a half a pound they come to thirty cents. So I want seventy cents to make us The burden of the rag bag was removed from her mind, and the shining purchase was before her so the seventy cents were paid without much calculation, and after answering in the negative the inquiry Nothing else inarm I' he departed to gather up all the rags in the neighborhood.

Lucy closed the door, placed her purchase in the closet, and hung up the empty rag-bag for re filling. When Mr. Franklin had seated himself by the fireside that evening, conning over as usual the events of the day, he remarked I think, Lucy, I have received a lesson to day, which will make me more careful hereafter. Well, Frank, you know we must live and ao let me hear what it is. When I was sitting at my desk to day, making out bills, a Jew travelling merchant came in and offered me, some superior steel pens of bis own as he said, at nine shillings a groce.

I thought I could not get them cheaper ol an importer and mi I took a groce. A few hours after I chanced tos'ep into a store near tlarket square, and who should I see but the same Jew merchant packing up a dozen boxes of pens he had just 'purchased! But what made mo feel bad waa to learn that the fellow bad to pay only seventy-five cents per groee lor them. What! said Lucy, did you pay the Jew double pi ice for importing only from Market square to your shop I did ao, indeed, but will never do it again, that's certain and the only way to be secure from such knaves, is to make a rule, which you may wiite down and atick op over the mantle piece ITER TO FOBCHASK AS ARTICLE OF A TRAVKLLIKO FXCrLA WHICH CAN BE OBTAIN AD AT A REGULAR STORE. There must be one exception to thin rule, Frank I must add' Except when tee pay iu oil Better not add it. Lucy, sooner bum your rags.

Burn my rags? why wheie is your economy, Frank? I guess you will thin rags are of some value when you eee what 1 have purchased with them to day. (Tbe closet now opens and the cake-box makes its appearauce.) Do you think now our old rags are ofno value. Mr. was a little abashed, and was almost disposed to accede to the exception. How many pounds of rags did you give, my dear for that splendid affair? The price was one dollar in rags, or seventy-five cents in cash.

As I wanted to trade away the rags I concluded to pay for it in that way. They weighed 20 pounds not quite so much as I expected, and so 1 paid him seventy cents to make up the dollar. And so, Lucy, he has got your rags fur lest tlinu quarter of a cent a pound if his prico of the article is right but its real value at our towu shops is only fifty cents. So you see thatyou have not only given your ragsaway, but twenty cants beside Now is it not better to bum your rags than deal with a pedlar Vou are right, Frank, I will stick up the motto without ttny exceptions. But I can't consent to burn tbe rags; I'll tell you what I will do If you will ait down and with one of youi jtUi pent write a letter to the printer, warning everybody not to deal with travelling pedlars, you may say in that Mrs.

Lucy will end htm all her old rags for five years. Tell bim to put HARTFORD DAILY COURANT. SATURDAY, JUNE 3. D4II.T COURANT, Si PER AK'SHSI. WEEKI.1 $2 New II vest Ward Bill.

Never was there such a bill submitted to the consideration of a legislative body, at occupied our House of Representatives, Thursday afternoon, relating to the division of the city of New Haven into wards. It was a miserable, wretched foundling, "sent into the world not half made up," taken into the'guardianship of the State fathers, and after terribly hard usage in the House, was continued over to yesterday morning, when it was finally galvanized into lire, by the previous question," and so far ns the House has any power, is now the law for the regulation of their City elections. The measure was a harsh, oppressive, tyrannical one forced upon the city of New Haven against their wishes, so far as can be determined, without their having any direct action on the subject. One of the members from the town of New Haven stated, in the debate upon that subject, that he did not believe one third ol the voters of the city demanded any such luw, or would sustain it, if called to act upon the subject. But what was this, to the majority iu the Hoiisef What cared they for the wishes of a majority of the electors of that city An object was to bogained, by some hungry ambitious aspirants, and it was no matter whether the change was demanded by a majority of the citizens, or no.

A dead-set, irresponsible majority had the power to force this unwelcome thing upon the shoulders of New Haven, and therefore they exercised it, regardless of the wishes for they were unknown) of the citizens, caring not whether the best interests demand such radical change, in the organiza tion of their city government. Aside fiom the haste with which the bill was foiced through the House, they committed the strange, glaring inconsistency, of refusing to hear a petition for this very object, on the ground that it was an adversary petition, and required notice to be given to the city and yet in quick succession to that vote, in hot haste, they accomplished the same object, by a bilf for a public act, emanating from nobody knows whom, called for by no action of any body of men, the child of a factions nmbition to control the action of that city. Noble majority! admirable, wise legislators, will you condescend to tella humble people, what great and powerful necessity weighed on your consciences, to demand at your hand an unshapen public act, when you had just decided not to entertain a petition for the same object, because the City of New Huven had received no such notice as was due to her, to enable her express a public wish, or make preparation to resist the highhanded injustice. You are wiser than former legislator and in ihe bold and original phrase of one of our Democratic Governor's. we live in times unknown to tho ancients." To day, it would be well to try your hand, at dividing the city of New London, as the public interest probably requires the change.

But let us not do injustice, to any man. Some, of the party majority in the House, threw off the shackles, and voted against this bill so full of flagrant wrong to the 1 city ot New Haven. IU The Times is fiiJI of fault-finding, and complains of the course pursued by some members on Ihe presentation of the Report respecting Capital Punishment. Mr. Waterbury, from the minority of the committee, stated to the House the condition and circumstances under which the report of the majority came into the House, that the understanding of members was, that when it was prepared, it should be read over in full committee, to give the minority full opportunity to prepare counter report, if they should deem it necessary.

Tho first intimation on the subject which they had after that wns the submitting of the report of the majority a course not only unparliamentary, but entirely uncotirteous toward the minority. This i the account of the whole matter, mid for stating this to the House, Waterbury is tauntingly said by the Times, to be in favor of a barbuious rather than a Christian law." This course of treating gentlemen who differ from them is characteristic, and full of incivility toward the member of the minority. It was said, the other day, by one of the dominant party in the House, (it was a great step for him to take certainly,) that" minorities have rights." For this acknowledgement we were duly thankful. But it must have been the confession of an unguarded moment. For it is entirely forgotien iu Ihe proceedings, when the majority have a favorite object to accomplish.

If every project of theirs is to be crowded through witii all possible haste by men dragooned into service, and a minority member to be browbeaten for entertaining a doubt about their doings, let it be understood. Bullet it not be done in the same bieath which proclaims that "sjiinorities have rights." We do want to see one instance in which the practice of this tough shod majority corresponds with their precepts. Due Respect for the Sabbath. We lately saw an article slating that a Lieut, of the frigate U. States, which arrived at Oahu, (one of the Sandwich Islands) on a Sabbath in last December, went ashore to arrange for a salute, but the Governor sunt word that he was at divine worship, and it must be deferred till the next day.

This rebuke must have been felt, we think, by the otB-cers of our frigate, and should be received by the whole nation. The Governor of a people ho were oulya few yeurs ago in a savage state, and who have become civ ilized by the labors of missionaries from our midst, rebuking us for our disregard of ihe Sabbath! What a spectacle The religious and moral newspapers in the city of New York have ofteu had occasion to complain of the practice of returning the salutes of foreign government vessels when they arrive in that port on the feabbath, and it is to be hoped that the proper authority will order it to be discontinued, not only there, but throughout the Navy. ET We have been requested to caution our citizens against a polishing powder which person is peddling through our streets, and which is composed in part of quicksilver. It makes a very beautiful polish on silver, but it is not enduring, and is ruinous to all metals. Not only so, but it is dangerous to use for domestic purposes articles which have been polished by it.

Our informant says he came near being salivated, from eating with a spoon which had beeu rubbed by this powder. The weather continues very cold for the season. Yesterday morning there was a heavy frost jo this vicinity, and we learn that beans and eaily vegetables are in many places entirely cutoff. There was mow within aix miles of Philadelphia on Thursday. Connertimt egislcunrc.

REPORTED FOR THE DAILY COURANT. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Friday Horning, June 2. House assembled at A. M.

Prayer by Kev. AJr. Hodgson. Journal of yesterday read. Yeas and Nays taken the call for tlie previous question, on the bill to divide ihecitr New flaven, (pending yesterday) when it was carried by a vote of 94 to 74.

Yeas and Nays ordered on the main question Yeas 97, Nays 80, so the bill passed, and report of committee accepted. Resolution appointing Henry Sill justice of the peace for the county of I lart lord; mused. Resolution appointing Jnm A. Rogers, A. C.

Crocker for the district of Gozrah passed. Mr Perkins made a statement of facts relative to the case of Daniel p. Tyler, who was rejected by the House the other day, as a candidate for justice of the peace.

Com mil tee on divorces on the petition of Manha E. Miller for a divorce from Charlfs F. Miller reported favorably, with a bill in form dissolving the connection. Mr. Curtis (from the committee) made a statement to the House, of the facts detailed, and the views of the committee upon the case, (some outline of which we hope to give in our next, together with ihe remarks of Mr.

1'e kins, in opposition to the report.) Adjourned. Afternoon. House came together at 2 o'clock. Report of the divorce committee on the petition of Mrs. Miller resumed.

Mr. Hill, of Weston, said he should not go intoa history of the evidence, but stale the reasons for the vote he should give. Generally, he was opposed to the granting of ivorces but this he thoupht a case entitled to consideration. The husband has been following the petitioner, committing upon her a series of outrages unnarnlleled. Tho Jaws of the different places where he followed her, have been found inadequate to her protection.

She cum? to this State to seek rest from the abuse of this husband But his perseverance and revenge followed her. and found her in the Mite of Connecticut. He comes wilh his coach and fmr, and by force carries her away. Plainly wilh such intention as no human being ought to entertain 10 ile vote her to the most vile and unholy purposes. We are bound to protect her, and what protection can we give adequate to the circumstances of the case, exceept to divorce the parties 1 If any other persons, similaily situated should coma into our Stale, herever they may come from, he would also dsisolve the marriage contract in every such case.

Mr. Galpin looked upon the obligations entered into in the 1 marriage contract, much more binding than an indenture, or I the articles of a copartnership. But there are some cases where there may be necessity for an action. In this rase there are two questions one of jurisdiction, and Ihe other, as to the merits of the case. lie listened with interest to the remarks of the gentleman from Hartford, but had not become satisfied with his view of the case.

There were outrages, and efforts to blast the reputation of the petitioner, of such a kind that if any reason could ever exist lor a divorce, that case is the present. Mr. Stiles snid the only reason why he said a word to the House upon the subject, was in consequence of some things I which he had heard during the intermission, relative to the remedies which the petitioner already has. It is said she can I have her husband imprisoned if he be guilty of outrage. Hut con mother hoi the father of her child Site wilim only lo be liberated, tliat her hie may ba free from dai ger.

Upon the question of jurisdiction, be alluded lo Ihe case of Mrs. Yates, and said, that the that these annas considerations were not given then, but reserved fir this occasion, was wery peculiar." Sufficient reasons have been offered lor the divorce by his oris, within the limits of this Slate. lie called upon the feelings of any member who was a father, or who had a sister liable in any way to bo a victim of such abuse, to say whether it be not a case for our action, lie should vote for thedivorce. Mr. Allyn snid that the petitioner was forced from tho State of New York to this Slate, for-protect ion, from a series of revolting outrages.

And our soil should be sacred to the protection of all who escape here for protection. She came here for a quiet residence and we should a I lord it. After she had taken her residence in this Slate, she was 'olio wed by this cruelly, unworthy the character and feelings of any one, claiming the name of husband. r. Richmond said he could but regret thai? the idea should be pressed upon the Assembly, by the gentleman from Hartford, in the forenoon, that we ought not to intorlere with this subject because she might find relief elsewhere.

The argument of the gentleman reminded him of the man who went from Jorusalem to Jericho and fel among thieves. Ho should lift up both hands for the divorce. Mr. Willey said that when a case of this description is brought before this tribunal, it stands upon its own peculiar meuts. lie knew no law in reinuon to tins tribunal, winch required the act for which divorce is asked, to have been committal in this State.

In cases given to the jurisdiction of the Superior Court, ich limits are given. A female residing on the borders of New York flees into this Stale for protection, shall we not protect her? If the whole series ot acts in one Stalo and another makes out good ground for divorce, we should grant il. Under ihe cruelly and outrage committed in this case, as shown by the statement of ihe chairman, he acquiesced in the repoit ol ihe commute. Mr. Warren from Ashlord.

although well satisfied that the case might be one which required a divorce, still lie thought it beyond our jurisdiction and for that reason, he as opposed lo granting ihe divorce. The Speaker called Mr. Palmer to thechair. r. Ferris stated some facia in relation to the case and opposed iheilivorce.onthegroundof warttof jurisdiction.

Air. Hillings (the Hon. Speaker) said an apology might be due to the House, after the attention hich the House had already given ti subject, for troubling them further. tha apology was found in ihe great importance of the case not to the parties, but to the interests of the Slate. He would only speak of the public importance Inch belongs to the case.

He would not allude to tlie former history of the parties as that had already been done by gentlemen, for whom it might be more appropriate than for himself, as he did not deem 11 his duty to interfere in any such question merely concerning tlie interests of the parties, or in any action which was designed to punish ihe respondent, if he had been guilty of rong. lie took no such view of the caseiut he thought there was a duly in the present case, owed to the public to the maintenance ol the authority of our own laws, and the protection of all who are legally within our jurisdiction. For hat purpose she enme 10 Stamford, we are not 10 enquire. Suppose she came there, as has been said, for the purpose of obtaining a divorce she was still entitled to the protection of of our laws, and her petition was entitled lo as full consideration as though she had come for any puriose. He would not allude to itieslande.sby hich the respondent had endeavored to defame her character She was laken by force from Stamford and carried to the State of New York under circumstances such that it is a miracle that she is not now a maniac.

The husband subsequently carried her away with the declared intention of carrying her lo Martinique, for purposes which it is unnecessary here to detail. Through ihe Providential interference of certain citizens of Norfolk, she was rescued from such a futo. He then detailed further facts which brought this case ithin the jurisdictkin of the Slate This boding the case let ns examine and see whether llie facts in evidence belbre ihe House are sufficient 10 justify the interference of this body. If she had been a slave from tlie south and received such treatment as this petitioner 11 Jece'v House would arise in mass, for her protection. Hefound rKiihiiigintheconsiitut.on forbidding Ihe interference ol the House, in a motter like the present.

In reference to ihe law of the Superior Court, the power given to that Courtto grant divorces is limiied to3or4cases. From time immemorial, this body have told the Court that in certain cases, they reed not wait three years, before granting a divorce. If we have delegated that authority to them, may we not exercise it ourselves 1 He found in this very law, an analogy lor tlie action now demanded of this House. But it is said, the Stale of Yoik will not recognize the act ol this Legislature. Be it so, we liave no concern with that.

11 it be true that we liave the constitutional right, and other Stntes choose lo disregard tho acts of I his Slate, we are not responsible for Mint result Mr. B. said the laws of this Stale have been most outrageously violated, and lie put his claim I for the action of this House upon broad and public ground and not merely upon the consequences to the parties befor Occupation of the Sandwich Islands br Great Britain. By tho arrival of the Architect yesterday, we received the official announcement of the occupation of the Sandwich Islands by the British. Differences having arisen between the royal authorities of those Islands and the British Consul, Mr Simpson, ihe Hon.

George Paulet, Captain of H. B.M. frigate Curysfort. made a peremptory demand upon the Governor of Oahu fo a personal interview with 'he King of the Islands. This was done on the 1 1th of February last and the King was at once sent for.

He declined a personal interview, but delegated Dr. Judd to negnciate. Upon this Lord George becomes indignant, and on the 17th February he sends an ultimatum 10 the King, threatening immediate resort to force unless certain conditions propounded by him, six in number were acceded to by the 10th, Sunday. In his reply on the I81I1 the King accedes to all of them though under protest, and names on his part Sir George Sampson and William Richards to negociate directly with Ihe Enclish government, for the arrangement of all the points of difference. Lord George replies by naming 2 o'clock on the some day for an interchange of salutes, and demanding an hour to be named on Monday, the 10th Feb.

for receiving himself mid H. 15. Majesty's representative. The King named 1 1 o'clock A- M. The presentation was made, we pre some, but the next we hear of the affair is an appeal of the King to his subjects, dated Feb.

25th, stating that he is in difficulties, but that he hopes for the best when jus-lice can be done him in England, Bearing the sairio 1 date appears a formol cession on the pari of his 1 majesty (named Kamehameha HI.) of the whole group of the Sandwich Islands lo Lord George Paulet, representing Great Britain, which cession is slated to be made in consequence of the impossibility of acceding to the demands of Lord George. Terms are annexed lo the cession, guaranteeing the security of the natives: a provincial government, mixed of natives and the English the enjoyment of their existing legal lights, tho continuance of the native revenue service condi-lionally a stipulation that the titles to lands in the Islands shall remain in the natives hands, until the receipt of notification from Great Britain of the arrangements which may be made there; and lastly, the liilfilinent of the existing engagement of the native King and Premier. iV.

A young lawyer of thia city, possessing talent iu his profession, but little pecuniary ability to start swimmingly into life, by one of those singular chances which are as rare as they are fortunate, has suddenly, as we learn, become tho possessor of a large estate, the attainment of which is indeed remarkable. One day, which seems to have been marked iu his calendar as especially propitious and smiling, a laboring Irishman entered his office to consult him upon particular business, foi which he had been refused the advice of other piofessional gentlemen. Pursuing the necessary details, he drew fiom his pocket sundry documents unconnected wilh the original matter in reference, which, exciting the attention of the lawyer, proved lo be certificates of deposite for a large sum of money in the bank of Dublin, ihe value of which was previously unknown to his client.

This appearance of things naturally enough atlruCling" professional observation, an examination was subsequently resulted in the fact that property to the amount of 60,000 had been deposited lo the creditof the hitherto poor laborer in ihe bank, and in establishing his title also loa large landed estate in Ohio which was valued at $1,700,000, and bequeathed to the Irishman by the will ol a wealthy bnl unknown relative. The gratitude and generosity of the Hibernian nation are well known; but. with a liberality which is uot generally manifested, except in cases of sudden and unexpected accession lo fortune, the now wealthy client insisted upon relinquishing all claim to the landed property of which he had become possessed in favor of his lawyer, reserving to himself only Ihe personal estate 111 itself a fortune. The money has in part been withdrawn from the bank of Dublin, and we understand that 15,000 came out to this country in one of the late steamers, the removal of the deposites" probably being in favor of some one of onr American banks. It is stated that this matter, which has resulted so fortunately, has been in process of settlement for several months, the lawyer himself having joumeyed to the El Dorado of the West in prosecution of the special business of his generous client.and having returned wilh a portion of the income derived from the large property there held in possession.

Boston Transcript. A Hoax. The Worcester (Mass.) Cataract says ihe story that has been going the rounds of Ihe papers in relation to the Siamese Twins, is all a hoax. We apprehend the Worcester paper says more than it knows. We have seen a lettei from the gentleman under whose care the Siamese Twins have been living, fully confirming the leport orthoir marriaee; the story therefore is not'a hoax, 'but absolutelytiue.AT.

Y. Trib Painting of t'lirist healing lh Sick in ihe Temple. Description of a portion of ihe sick and principal characters, its represented on West's large and valuable Painting now exhibiting at Gilman's Hull, in this city. The Sick Man. Rendered gray by, Ihe ravages of disease, is a most admirable representation of so deploia-ble a condition.

He appears to be under the iminedialo influence of tho omnipotent word, though his countenance wears the expression of long continued suffering. The sick man's wile, who is evidently a Jewess, is seen bearing her husband's crutch she is exerting her affectionate eloquence, and pointing to the object of her solicitude; tenderness, distress, and the most earnest supplication, are finely blended in herworn and haggard countenance, unconscious of the glad tidings that await her. Her child participating 111 ihe prevailing emotions of his mother, is innocently looking at the Savior. A beautiful Jewtps. presenting hit Sick Infant accompanied by its GrattdmuiJter.

This passage of the picture, including die above three figures, is addressed to every leeliug heart; but especially to parents who have seen their child, in that enily period of lile, brought near to death by sudden illness, when eveiy child like action is at an end, and the aching head lies exhausted and pining on its best earthly home; Ihe correct and vigorous mind of our artist lias here brought forward all the teuderest traits of such a scene. He has given the titter helplessness and relaxed look of suffering innocence. 7Vi Rickety Boy and his Mother. The artist hasshown the greatest judgment in ihe introduction of this figure, yet couceuing the most disgusting feutures of the case; at the same time that sufficient is seen in the old look, nnd the form of every feature, in the large joints of the hand feebly grasping a crutch, to inform us fully of the nature of the calamity. His mother is anxiously pressing him forward to be healed.

The Blind Girl nnd her Parents. The expression of the pain suffered by this object of parental solicitude, is managed with great dexterity, so as not lo disturb the beauty of her features; she seems lo be afflicted with some disorder in that teuder organ, the eye, which has caused blindness. Her character is thai of exquisite sensibility though young she partakes of the intellectual superiority of her father and mother, accompanying her, which, together with Ihe hope of being cured, produces ait approach to-vards calmness of conn, tenaiice. notwithstanding her bodily pain. Her mother, in a kneeling posture, is supporting her daughter.

-The father, who is tenderly holding the head of his daughter between his hands, piesents the firmness of a naiuially dignified and elevated character. The Apostle John. The person of John is young, manly, and of a firm, though pensive character of an elevated mind a suiiable couipanion in the most exalted friendship his expressmn is that of profound thought, in sympathetic agreement with his Divine Master. His eyes indicate frequent weeping. Like his Lord, lit his degree, the general scene of things at this eventful period affects bis mind.

The Apostle Peter. Iu the head of this apostle we have a uiosi striking representation of thai forward and affectionate, but ill applied, and erroneous zeal, which always distinguished him during the life of his Master. He seems grieved and offended, that the priests and the Jewish people at large, will not consider the overwhelming evidence displayed belore them that this is the Christ; and thus ins natural disposition predominates. This is evidently that hasty personage, apt to err yet,.
