When a gang of juvonile bullies go prowling about of a summer morning, and disposed for a fight, thoy haply meet an inoffensive little urchin, to whom tho foremost of tho gang makes some such remark us, Oho you're tho fellow that wanted to fight me tho other day, ain't you Of courso tho reply is in the negativo tho urchin's eyes having been innocent of tho bully, from the day oach was born. then, I lie, do I Tako that rejoins tho young ruffian, 'pitching into' tho peaceful ono who is lucky if ho escapos with whole bones: The manufacturers, aiders and abettors of the present circulating medium of this country, (as great an incubus on its young energies, as impure air to The Old Black Widow. A narrative the truth of whose essentials is vouched for by the Editor of this print.) Soma years ago. (and not many, either) an aged black woman, a widow, occupied a basemont in one of tho streets leading down to the North river, in Now York city.

She had employment from a number of families who hired her at intervals to cook, nurse, and wash for thoin 'and in this way sho gained a very decent living. If we remcmbor right, tho old creature had no child, or any neai relation, but was quite alone in the world, and lived when at home, in the most solitary manner. Sho always had her room and humble furniture as clean as a new glove, and was remarkable every where for her neatness, agreeable ways, and good humor and all this at an age closely bordering on sevouty. Opposite to where this ancient female lived, was a row of stables for horsos, cabs, private vehicles on livery, and such like. At any hour of tho day and evening, groups of hostlers and stout stablo boys were working or lounging about there and tho cars of the passer by could hardly fail to hear joking and laughter, and often coarso oaths and indecent ribaldry.

Tho old black woman, smoking her pipo of an evening, at her door on tho opposite side of the way, suffered considerable annoyance from their swearing and obscenity. She was a pious woman, not merely in profession but practice, and faithfully tried to worship God, and walk in the paths of duty. For several weeks at intervals she had noticed a barefooted young girl of twelve or thirteen years, strolling about, and frequently stopping at the stables. This girl was a deaf mute, the daughter of a wretched intemperate couple in the neighborhood, who were letting her grow up as tho weeds grow. With 110 caro and guidance for her young steps, she had before her the darkest and dreariest of prospects.

The following compose tho delegation to represent the Seventh Ward in tho county convention to be held at Flatbush this afternoon Charles A. Denili Henry Wilson, Louis Duflon, and Bernard Lynch Mr. Boyle tho teacher of Potman's system of Phonography, is extensively engaged, in pursu ance of recent permission from the Board of Educa tion, in instructing the pupils of the various public schools in the city, in that art. This he does free of expense to tho pupils. He relies for a return of his arduous labors, upon the notoriety which this plan, and also a public exhibition iu Brooklyn, and N.

Y. of his more accomplished pupils will afford him to form hereafter, profitable privato classos. In short address which Mr. Boyle mado to the Board of Education, he pledged himself to confer upon his pupils in the public schools in the courso of six weeks a proficiency in phonograpy which would en able them to accomplish what uouo of the host stenographic reporters in New York can do. If this bo the case, his instructions are of the most val uablo nature, and his gratuitous exertions, in Brook lyn are deserving of all praise.

Itr Our friend of the Star seriously inquires vnether errors in orthography aro a sufficient causo for bringing contempt upon the magisterial office. We fancy he did not read the commitment which he alludes to, with much attention. If he had, he wouia nave discovered somo informalities in it of moro consequence than mere misspelling. The document was so constructed that no criminal of the deepest dyo could bo held under a similar one. Hence the dismissal of the woman who was committed under it.

If wo had not thought that the document thoroughly explained itself, wo should have assumed that task ourselves.

Gliddou will this ovening deliver the second of his very interesting lectures on tho subject of Egyptian antiquities. Bj The rowdy Jolly who was mentioned yesterday as having been arrested for wantonly and outrageously attacking soveral inoffousive and peaceable citizens as they were walkiDg along tho thoroughfares of our city tho provious evoning, was suffered by our police authorities to settle the matter with the persons so assaultod, for a consideration, and suffered to depart otherwiso unmolested. If this is to bo the course pursued with such ruffians, it is time our citizens should know it, and keep themselves prepared to meto out condign and sufficient punishment on the spot, when euch outrages are committed. Some assaults it is proper to settle in this mode and others call for somo personal restraint of those who commit them, lt strikes us the above case is among the latter. We think that the Common Council deserve great credit for passing the resolution, ot their last of If the election of Young," says a contemporary, "proves the State of New York Whig, the election of Mr.

Gardiner proves it Democratic." Indeed it is curious to take a calm survey of the elements that ontercd into the lato election the contradictory elements and speculate on the manner in which. that mighty power, the power of tho people, vibratos to and fro, and is swayed by a mil lion, invisible influences. Aerologisls tell 11s of several paramount causes which bring about stupendous motion in the atmosphere, producing wide effects 011 climate raising gales, tempests and so on but add that thero aro constantly at work numberless little yet most potent other causes, which override tho first, and so, oven by their chaos, produce, a result which cannot be traced to its beginnings at all Quito after this sort havo been the causes of the political result in (he lato Stato election here and in the lato elections elsewhere, except in Ohio and Massachusetts. Ono county in this Stato gives Young (Whig) for Governor, SO 1 majority, and Gardiner (Dem.) for Lt. Governor, 1100 majority.

Several othor counties voted pretty much in the samo way or at least, with as much defiance to the or diuary dividing linos in politics. Amid all this chaotic jumble amid Whig victories amid tho extravagant joy of the successful taction, and the depression of thoso weaker vessels' of Democracy who havo not faith in the people we for our part see tho serene heavens shining clear and bright above aburc the clout! just the samo as ever. If we bido our time, and stick toour principles, wo shall reap the harvest. It is not yet ripo for us, but the grain is already filling in the ear and a few storms will but make it the harder and etoutcr. TVno slinli pmclicc law Perhaps ono prominent had point in the Old Judicial System was never more vividly illustrated than in Mr.

Justice Branson's twist of the article in the New Constitution, which was put there to break down the monopoly of legal practice and which Judge B. rules into a restricting of the practice still moro merely by a quirk of words Tho Albany Atlas alluding to this, says: The Supreme Court was beginning to give constructions of the Constitution of 1821, when the new instrument was framed. 1 ney navo started earlier with tho Constitution of 4G, anticipating even ils existence. This first deci sion, which clearly overrules tho intention of the Convention that framed tho instrument, is a sample oi tne tondoncy of judicial construction, by a non elective court, of a popular Constitution.

Some writer in tho Mirror Bpeamug ot stutt written by noble lords and and published in British monthlies, alludes to the stuff published in the American monthlies, and adds: "tho only point of difference that wo can discover between tho British and American twaddle, is that whereas tho foreigners are cunning enough to scribblo anonymously, the domestic maut ufacturor apponds his and her name to tho commodity in staring capitals: Professor 3.

By a telegraphic despatch of last evening from tho Buffalo Courier, wo learn that the entire Congressional de legation is democratic, as in the present Congress, and that most of the members of the House, and all but two of the Senators, are ditto.

Genius of a Republican Peoplo on the other, como in conflict the latter having been outraged by tho former in every way that honesty and confidence can be outraged it is the former which lifts its brazen front, and assumes to be the aggrioved party, and calls on the peoplo to come up and stand up in behalf of it, the poor inofiensivo thing so wantonly attacked Tho favorers of the Paper sys tem paint tho Representative of tho people, (tho government,) as the bully, and Paper as a dear innocent which is subjected to its assaults and this in the face of tho records of this nation, ever since it has been a nation. Out on such monstrous assumption Wednesday's N. Y.

Sun says: "Tho Brooklyn Eagle adheres to tho Sub Treasury; Ho says he views 1840 in its bearing on 1844. Very well. Nothing brought about the results of '44 so rapidly as the efforts of tho Whig party to establish a National Bank in '41. Tho bank question was not agitated by Whigs in '40, nor was the Sub Treasury agitated by the Democrats in '44, but no sooner did both get into power than they attempted to force their favorito measures upon tho country. Never were greater insults offered to an intelligent people.

The whole Union had said We condemn all your National Bank projects, whothor in the shape of Sub Troasury or U. S. Banks." Parties replied, But you must have them wo havo the power and wo will compel you to swallow the dose." The Eagle knows the rest. If its friends think they can swim past 184S with this millstone round their necks, then of courso Congress will not repeal the Sub Treasury next mouth." say the Sub Treasury question was agitated 111 18 14 commendation of it was publicly made by tho Convention that nominated Mr. Polk and by quite every Democratic Address from State Conventions, provious to tho oxciling election in the fall and in the Democratic press, and by Democratic speakers.

As to a National Bank, that was considered settled by an overwhelming negative, (and is settled.) As to the pet' system, let us see the man who will openly come out and argue in its favor who will stand tho fire of facts against it, from tho unsuccessful trial which Gen. Jackson made of it after tho Removal of tho Deposites down to the present period For tho method of keeping the Public Funds, then, it wore hard to say how they can be kept, other than by tho Independent Treasury plan. (As to "National Bank projects in the shape of a Sub Treasury," wo are content to let tho Sun have the benefit of its assertion about them when it can prove that any human being ever thought of such a ridiculous inconsistency.) But behind all this outside objection strip it of tho superficial guise which the attack wears wo see that tho principal ground of the fight has been, and is, i7ie specie requiring and paying sections of the New Bill. It is a contest between Paper, and Money that is Money And here we would throw in a word episodical. No one has any objection to Paper Money that gaius its way on the strength of its own reality, and without special favor the Paper of Banks doing a sound business, conducted by upright men, as many of our Banks really do and aro.

But let them carry on that business with out any connection with th connection docs not bless either the bank that gives or tho bank that takes. Such is but fair to all parties and many far seeing men think it likely to be all tho better to a true banking business The contest, as wo said, is between the circumstances of real Money and Paper. It is alleged that tho discountenanciuir of Paoor hv its not for Government dues will break it and yet we laucy all will acknowledge that that part of tho circulating medium which rests 011 no solider basis than the mere willingness of people to pass it in and out, ought to But it will not break good paper it will prop it the more. It will keep that continual flow of tho precious metals througk the business channels or the country, which will check the dangerous expansions of illy controlled banks. It will command moro uniformity in the value of things.

It will leave capital, enterprise, and natural advantages, to spring forth in a proper and wholesome way, without the lever taint or the succeeding ague chill, which our past and present most contemptible monetary system not only allows but makes To tho humbug cries of There not being gold and silver enough in the world," of Locking up the people's money in dark vaults," with all the fine flings at tho operation of tho law tricks to delude the ignorant we havo no wish to rejoin We think we can assure the Sun, however, that whether tho Democratic party sink or swim in 1848, it will never abandon this cardinal point of its doctrines.

of her future years, but degradation, misery, and crimo Tho old black widow had many anxious thoughts about this little girl, and shuddered at tho fate which seemed prepared for her. She at last determined to make an effort in behalf of tho hapless one. She had heard of the institu tious provided for the deaf and dumb, and how tho sealed avenues of the senses are almost opened to them again there. Upon making inquiry, she found that iu the case of her young neighbor, the pay ment of a certain sum of monoy, (two hundred dollars, we think it was,) would be necessary, pro paratory to hor admission into tho Now York Insti tution. Whether any payment was required after this, wo have forgotten, but the sum in advance was indispensable.

The old woman had got quite well acquainted with the child, and discovered in her that quickuess and acuteness for which her unfortunate kind arc remarkable. She determined to savo her to turn her path aside from darkness to light. Day after day then, and night after night, whenever her work would permit, went forth the old woman, with papers and letters, to beg subscriptions from the charitable, for that most holy object. Among tho families where she was known, sho always succeeded in getting something sometimes half a dol lar, sometimes two and in a fow iustances five, ana oven ten dollars. But where she was a stran ger, sho rarely received auy answer to her request except a rude denial, or a contemptuous sneer.

Most of them suspected her story to bo a fabrication although she had provided herself with incontest iblo proofs of its truth, which she always carried with her. It seemed a hopeless effort, and yet she persevered contributing from her owif. scanty means every cent that she could spare. Need wo say mat neaven blessed this poor creature's sacred work that sho succeeded in gotting the 1 requisite sum, and that tho girl was soon afterwards placed an inmate of the asylum? Whether the aged widow yet lives in her basement, and what has happened since in the life of the girl, wo know not. In all that wo have ever heard or read, we do not know a better refutation of those scowling dogma tists who resolve all the actions of mankind into a gross motive of pleasing the abstract self.

The Generals of Monterey. In looking over its exchanges the True Sun encountered tho two annexed paragraphs, travelling in different sections of the Union, and wide apart. It has thought it would hitch them togothcr, and trot the pair out be fore its readers. A correspondent of the Baltimore American relates tho following incident of tho capitulation at Monterey. Tho bearer of the flair of truce DroDoserl or.

render of tho town, allowing them to remove all tho puonc properly (jeu. 1 ayor asked an uncondition al surrender of every thing quite a difference. They had from 8 to 12 o'clock to answer. At 12 they sent for Gen. Taylor.

After exhausting his pa tienco with diplomacy, and Ampudia had declared he was in no way straightened to submission, Gen. Taylor said Sir, 1 hold your town, yourself, and your army, in the hollow of my hand, and you know it; the conference is closed. In thirty minutes you shall hear from, my batteries." He took his hat to leavo the room Ampudia called him back and submitted. This was told me in person by Geu Taylor, and is strictly true, of courso. A correspondent of tho New Orleans Times writing from Monterey under date of 30lh Sept.

says I had occasion to go on a matter of business with several officers, to call on Gen. Ampudia: wo found his quarters finely furnished, his tables loaded with fruit, wine, and segars while in an adjoining apartment were soen several women gaudily uui pii suuiauoii co mm ne merely bowed, standing with his hands in his breeches, with a white jacket on, and an unlit sogar in his mouth, and asked what wo wanted, without even extending to us tho courtesy of a seat, much less to partake of the viands on his sumptuous table. He was evidently drunk, and no doubt had been, from nil appearance, beastly so tho night before Ho is a largo man, of full six feet, inclined to corpulency, with little, shrewd, cunning black eyos indicative of deceit, intrigue, and libertinism he wore an imperial fcwifc Ui UtttlU UH I lit! UIIII1. The right sort of stuff. Some fifteen years ago two strangers met on Charleston bridge.

One was a young man fresh and greon from the country, with his wardrobe in a bundlo under his arm and the other a resident of the city. For some reason not easily explained, thoy halted and held something like the following talk. Country Lad." Sir, do you know any place where I can get anything to do Citizen. I dou't know that I Ho QUI ot employment aro you seeking for Country Lad." Well I'm not particular. I calculated on touching school, when I left home but they told me back here, that they thoucht I con nt get one about here.

Do you know of any stable where they want a hand?" rinaing the country boy was ready for anythiufr tho way of work, tho irentleman tnlH ho thought he might get employment as a haud cart mau and chor man. and hid him It wub not Ion? after thin i nannl the young man sought out his adviser, and thanked him for helping him to a ulacc.

He is now reputed to he worth from 50,000 to 75,000 dollars. So much for energy and persoverence, with a.
