But the most singular portion of Jaques Jasmin's history was, that the piece of gold which he had received from his cousin at the epoch of their parting had partly been, he said, the means of making his fortune. This struck M. Jasmin as one of the most extraor dinary circumstances he had ever heard, and

that for a long time afterwards he mentioned it to every one he knew as a great natural curiosity; for, he observed, there must have been some virtue in the gold: it could not have happened otherwise; so at least says Madame Jasmin.

M. Jasmin had heard himself called a mean hypocrite; and being naturally good-tempered, and inclined to make allowances for the blighted hopes of a disappointed heir, he had borne this unjust treatment with the greatest equanimity. But there are limits to endurance; and when M. Legros ventured on making the audacious remark above re-made so deep an impression on his imagination, corded, M. Jasmin started to his feet in a fit of ungovernable fury, and seized on the object nearest to him, with the firm intention of throwing it at M. Legros' head.

As it has been discovered, in the Rue St. Denis, that his only fortune consists in an annuity which must die with him, and that, consequently, he has no property to bequeath, his importance is very much diminished; but it is pleasant to reflect that his temper is greatly improved.

ENGLISH AND AMERICAN SHIPS.-The following appears in a late number of the New York Journal of Commerce:-"It is a strange fact, that while we have many English ships in port, American vessels obtain 6d. and 9d. per barrel-bulk more freight than they do. An English merchant offered the other day on 'Change, 3s. 6d. per barrel-bulk to an American owner, who could not take the flour; and an English captain standing by offered to take it at 3s., and then at 2s. 9d.; but the merchan. would

The most desperate exertions to save them. Some of complaints we hear made first are against their ships, the leading merchants of the town were foremost in and second against the captains and crews. The the efforts to rescue the drowning men from the terships, it is said, are not so well put together, nor of so good timber. But the chief difficulty is the bad repute which, either truly or falsely, has fallen upon the captains and crews during the two or three months in which so many English ships have been here. The report is spread that English captains and their crews are intemperate; for this reason there is no certainty that a ship will go to sea after she is loaded, or that the captain, mates, or crew can be found in a condition to do business. It is said, that after the news of O'Connell's death, a good many British captains were drunk for two or three days, by way of a wake for O'Connell. These are the stories, and the English ships will do little here until the matter is cleared up. The American captains and mates are now universally sober business men. They are now to be relied upon, and so much superior to the reputation which the English have acquired, that merchants and underwriters make a difference which must drive the English from the ocean, unless they get a better character. We hope they will do so. There will be business enough to occupy all the ships which can be found at leisure.

They vied with the hardy whalemen in venturing into the surf, each with a rope fastened round his body, by which he was to be drawn ashore the moment he had got hold of one of the shipwrecked mariners. Several of the English sailors were thus drawn almost senseless upon the beach, where they were caught up in the arms of strong men, and conveyed into the town. Every door was and warm clothes, and warm sympathies, and every opened, and every fireside ready for their reception; comfort that kindness could dictate, were in profuse requisition to make them at home. The details of the disaster were rehearsed, and all the hair's-breadth escapes of those on ship and shore. An eminent merchant, who had perilled his life in the surf in plucking from its fierce eddy a struggling sailor, was relating his adventure at his fireside, with his little daughter on his knee, when the little thing, looking into the father's face, with its earnest eyes full of tears, asked, in all the simplicity of a child's heart, "Why did the people work so hard to save the British sailors, if they want to go to war and kill them?" It was a word fitly spoken; and it passed around from house to house, and from heart to heart, and many were made thoughtful by the child's question.-Elihu Burritt.

UNION OF MEDICAL REPRINTS.

2. To receive numbers of the complainants' republication to the value of $1000.

How, or at what rate, the $1000 was to be determined, does not appear-there was the cost price, the trade price, and the subscription price of each publisher. At which of these four sums were the libellants to have the Review? How were they to dispose of them?-by sale at the counter?-by getting up another subscription list to dispose of them? That would come in collision with the agreement alleged by the complainant.

We shall not be surprised if this extraordinary and groundless compulsory attempt on the part of the New York publishers, have the effect to increase the Messrs. Zieber & Co.'s list twenty fold-as medical men will plainly see what a speculation the Messrs. Woods hoped to make out of their patronage, at $5 per year, when the Messrs. Zieber & Co. make a handsome profit on the same work, perhaps better printed, at $3!

THE great injunction case of Richard and George S. Wood, of New York, vs. G. B. Zieber & Co., of Philadelphia, in the United States Circuit Court of this district, of which we made a notice last week, was decided on Friday last. The facts were these The Messrs. Woods were the republishers in this country of the Medico-Chirurgical Review, at $5 per annum; the Messrs. Zieber and Co. of the British and Foreign Medical Review, at $3. It The case, which lasted three days, was most ably was announced in Europe in July last, that in Jan- argued by G. M. Wharton and Wm. M.

The speeches of their contemporaries, and proposed either to sell of both the latter gentlemen were considered as their own list or buy the Messrs. Woods'.

Offers were made by the Woods, opposing counsel, "the skill, ingenuity, legal learnso totally inadequate to the value of the work, that ing, power and eloquence displayed in the defence, they were at once rejected by Zieber & Co., who could not be surpassed." Mr. Hirst, who is comdetermined to go on and publish their cheaper edi-paratively a young lawyer, has made himself a firsttion at the old rate of $3; and they at once de- class legal reputation by this case. The motion for spatched agents to Europe, to effect an arrangement the injunction, it has been seen, was refused. with the London publishers, by which they would obtain the sheets of the journal in advance of any other house. Mr. Zieber, happening to be in New York on business for his firm, was met by both the Woods on board the ferry-boat, as he was leaving the city. One of them came on with him as far as New Brunswick, urging him to make a sale to them of his list of subscribers. This he refused to do, or even give them a refusal of his work, although he left the matter open to them, in case they would wish to buy without, however, engaging to sell out at all, unless their offer, $1000, to be paid in successive numbers of the new Review, should meet with the approbation of his firm. Some further correspondence ensued, in which Zieber & Co. declined to sell to the Woods on any terms, believing that no equitable arrangement could be made with them. The Woods then came on to this city, and brought a bill in equity to compel a specific performance of an imaginary contract which they said was developed in these letters, supporting them by the oath of Mr. Richard Wood and another witness, who swore that Mr. Zieber did not deny that the contract was made on the occasion of Mr. Wood's visit to Zieber & Co., by advice of his counsel. This was rebutted by the testimony of no less than six witnesses, who heard all that passed, all of whom swore that Mr. Wood's witness was not present at the time the conversation occurred, and that the facts of that conversation were directly the converse of what he and one of the plaintiffs asserted. The case, however, was a very nice one. Judge Kane delivered his opinion, of which we give an abstract of the most important points: It was evident that the parties had been in negotiation, and the affidavits of the complainants went far towards showing an agreement, but those of the respondents were so pointed and powerful as entirely to destroy their effects, and throw the court solely upon the written evidence, and with which evidence before him he was bound to refuse an injunction.

As to the terms of the contract, he was left altogether in doubt, as they were not even contained in the letters.

Supposing, however, that the propositions between the parties were settled into a contract, what was it on the part of Zieber & Co. ?

1. To sell their list, engage in the publication of no other work which might compete with the British Foreign Medico and Chirurgical Review.

HABITS OF AN INTERESTING CLASS OF THE NEW YORK POPULATION.-Yesterday morning, as a gentleman was entering University place from an intersecting street, he encountered a herd of eighteen swine, driven by an Irishman. To the question what he was going to do with his bristly charge, Paddy answered that he was driving them down town to get their living like other gentlemen. It seems that in the upper part of the town, where this class of our population most abounds, the supply of food in the gutters is not equal to the demand. Their owners, therefore, conduct them to places where there is less competition-to

"Fresh fields and pastures new."

Some of them pick up a subsistence in Broadway, where, in the intervals of their repasts, they promenade with the well-dressed throng that walk up and down that noble thoroughfare. Some disperse themselves into the parallel streets, Nassau, William, and Pearl, and feed luxuriously in the open spaces of Burling slip, the foot of Maiden lane, and Old slip. Others, again, hold their banquets about the corner groceries in Greenwich street, and a few adventure even to pursue their researches in the less promising gutters of Wall street. In the evening they are collected and driven home to their pens in the upper part of the city.

One thing is pretty clear, namely, that the owners of these animals must have discovered the art of driving a pig, which some philosophers have pronounced impossible--N. Y. Evening Post.

CORRESPONDENCE.

So Mr. Calhoun is against the acquisition of territory from Mexico! "The full soul loatheth the honeycomb." Texas is enough. Or can it be that he is willing to fix our boundary at the Sa

bine!

If any one man made the war which we are all so anxious to be rid of, that man is Mr. Calhoun. He drove the annexation in the last moments of Mr. Tyler; he drove it heels over head, for fear that Mr. Polk might be cautious about the manner of doing it. He drove it by a new reading of the constitution, which was against the opinion of almost everybody. Bitterly strict in his construction of the constitution, the only rule, so far as we can see, by which he interprets it, is, that it gives power to do whatever he likes, and nothing more. He determined to annex first and negotiate afterwards. And he found fault with Mr. Polk for not managing the quarrel which he left him, in a way to please the author of it.

If Mexico were ever to listen to reason about Texas, her ears would have been more open before the formal annexation was completed.

Whether it was possible, after that act was done,

all that he wants, he will magnanimously decline

more.

But there is an old story, which may serve as an illustration of the difficulty now arising.

In days of yore, when temperance was not so strictly construed as now, a worthy deacon used to mix a soothing draught for himself and family every evening. He put in the sugar, and the limes, and, alas! the spirit; and then adding the water, he raised the bowl to his lips, to see whether it was properly compounded. It seemed that it always required some change in one ingredient. He always found it so strong that it made him say Hem!! and add more water before he passed the bowl to his family. This had gone on for some time, till his eldest son, who was approaching to man's estate, one night intercepted the pitcher on its way, and grasping the bowl, said, "Father, let me cry Hem! too."

We copy, on the same subject, part of the Washington correspondence of the Philadelphia Ledger:

No man knows better than Mr. Calhoun, that no part of Mexico could ever become a slaveholding State. This is his motive, and sole motive, for his be acquired to prevent the abolition of slavery, so Recollect, he avowed that Texas must contrary from the reasons of others; but now his object is to get up a great agitation on the subject

past course.

of slavery, and to prevent the acquisition of any Mexican territory; because he knows that with, or without the Wilmot proviso, it will be free terri

tory.

What a commentary this is upon forcing the Wilmot proviso, which, whilst it will not, in the slightest degree, affect the question of slavery in Mexico, will prevent the acquisition of any Mexican territory, and thereby carry out Mr. Calhoun's object in preventing the introduction of any more free States into the Union. Do not the Wilmot proviso men clearly perceive that they are playing into the hands of Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Holmes, and that, by insisting on the proviso, which can have no practical effect, they enable Mr. Calhoun to accomplish his object, which, as I have just observed, is to prevent any more free States from being brought into the Union.

The question now asked is, will the North stand this? And will they permit the doctrine, that whilst slaveholding territory in Texas or elsewhere may be added to the Union, Mexico or any portion of it shall not be annexed, simply because it now is, and with or without the Wilmot proviso will necessarily continue to be, non-slaveholding? The nullifying or South Carolina platform is this: add slaveholding States whenever you can get them from new territory; but keep out all new territory, whether it be North or South, out of which free States will voluntarily come into the Union. Hence Mr. Calhoun's resolutions immediately succeeding Mr. Dickinson's, which override the Wilmot proviso, (because it is unnecessary,) and leave the Mexican States to come in as they themselves may desire, with or without slavery; knowing that they have no slavery now, nor will have it with or without any proviso, but that they will, as free States, come into the Union. Such is the anti-national and anti-American platform of Mr. Calhoun and the nullifiers.

And here I would warn the people of the North, if they would acquire Mexico or any portion of it, to examine well the practical consequences of the Wilmot proviso, before they make up their minds on the subject. Mexico will be non-slaveholding with or without it; but it may defeat the acquisition of territory, which would certainly not further the cause of freedom. Let my readers bear in mind that as a part of the same scheme, Mr. Calhoun defeated last year, by the slave question, the organization of a territorial government in Oregon. The reason is plain. He would drive Oregon out of the Union, because it can never be organized into slaveholding States.

It is thought by many persons that the throne of Mexico would be so dangerous and so worthless to a French prince, that the wary and sagacious Louis Philippe cannot have any thought of securing it.

In so reasoning, they forget that this aged monarch risks a European war, and has damaged his own character, to build up a succession to the throne of Spain for the Duke de Montpensier; a succession that would be violently opposed in Spain itself, unless some extraordinary inducement could be offered to make it popular.

For the purpose of increasing his "availability," we cannot imagine a more tempting bribe to Spain than the return of her old colonies.

There may be no truth in the suspicion of French interference, but this view of the case makes it not unlikely that it has been thought of, and it will be long before we forget M. Guizot's speculations about the "balance of power" in America.

OUR correspondent, the native of Ireland, whe finds fault with the article "Paddiana," as erroneous, must remember that one is not obliged to swear to the truth of a joke, any more than of a song. We advise him to treat it as he says he does the Irish articles in Punch. He will not suspect

But I beg you to observe another thing. Mr. Calhoun's resolutions go to prevent the possibility of our ever obtaining the Canadas. He tells Great Britain, in so many words: "If we should go to war with you, and conquer the Canadas, it will break up our government to hold an inch of that territory." Mr. Calhoun's object is to prevent the acquisition of Mexican territory now, and Canadian us of any want of interest in Ireland. There must territory hereafter; while, under the Texas resolutions, he will carve four new slaveholding States out of Texas, and thereby obtain a perpetual majority in the Senate of the Union, and prevent the admission of any more free States.

North and South, lead to the peaceful disappearance of slavery, not by legislation, but through natural causes, which must, in time, produce this result.

If Mexico were slaveholding territory as Texas was, who does not know that Mr. Calhoun would be amongst the foremost for immediate and total annexation. Mr Calhoun was once a man of two ideas-the tariff and slavery; now that the tariff is settled, he is a man of one idea-slavery! slavery! slavery!
