The deeper the shaft is sunk, the richer and more abundant becomes tiie ore T he B arnburners . — The following extrac from the address read by Mr. Cambreling at the great meeting of the Barnburners in New York, is an exposition of the issue between them and the Hunkers : Our State having been disfranchised, our Demo cracy insulted, and your delegates virtually ex cluded, without even the reception of their creden tials, we declined taking seat* in the Baltimore Convention, and resolved on recommending to the Democracy of New York to send Delegates to a Convention at L'tica oil the 22d June. Tlie Llerno racy of the Empire State can never, with honor, support tlie nominee of a Convention which dis franchises our State — they can never, until they abandon the principles of Tiiomas JefTersrfti, vote for any candidate for tlie Presidency who is pledged to veto any and every bill prohibiting the introduc tion of slavery into free territory; and they never, without disgracing themselves, unite with the Conservatives of this State, who have declared in a Convention of the Union, that they would ne ver consult, nor act in any manner whatever, with the representatives of the Democracy of New York The Baltimore Convention lias proclaimed to the world that it can elect its candidate without New Vork. It has made the issue—let the Old Guard respond to this declaration, and meet the issue fear lessly and triumphantly now, as they did in 1800, in defending the imperishable principles of Thomas Jefferson.

They state that they overtook a party of Pawnees, fell upon their rear and murder ed three men, six women and two children, and then retreated immediately. The reasons they as sign for this outrage upon their neighbors, is that the Pawnees had stolen their horses.— St. Joseph (Mo.) Adventure, 2d insi. A J uryman E xtraordinary .—A jury of "good men and true " was summoned to sit in inquest over tlie body of a man who had hung himself. The evidence being gone through, it was for the jury to decide whether in their profound judgment, it was a case of felo de se or temporary insanity. It ap peared that when the deceased was discovered, he was dangling from a tree, without a coat, the said garment being on the ground at his feet. One jury man said lie could not see how the man could have been sufficiently composed to take off his coat if lie had been insane, and therefore his opinion was, that the verdi«t ought to be felo de se. A second juryman said that madmen had been known, when they were determined to fight, not only to take off their own coats, but their opponents also; and, therefore, he thought it might be a case of delirium tremens. A third said he could not conceive it. pos sible for a man in his senses to hang himself at all. Ajiourth said that it was all nonsense, for he had known men to hang themselves to save Jack Ketch the trouble. So one said one thing and another an other, till atlast the question was settled by a know ing looking juryman, who had listened attentively to the discussion, and who said: "Gentlemen of the jury Î the question appears to me to be, not as to whether the man look off his coat, for of this there seems to be no doubt, but whether he took it off before he hung himself, or aflervxirds. Verdict, deexeled insanity. The Zoological Society has recently accomplished a piece of wonderful liberality in th ' rowing open to the public the entire collection of animals at a low - charge , instead of going through the farce of in - sisting on a Fellow ' s order , ( and almost any fellow would do .) with the accompanying charge of one shilling . We understand that the authorities of the Stock Exchange are about to throw open to the public their celebrated collection of living bulls and bears , at a low figure . The bulls will go through their wonderful feats of tossing up , by way of illus - tration of the gambling spirit that pervades the stock exchange ; and it is intended also to combine a choice collection of stags , being the small remnant of this breed that happened to lie preserved after the famous panic in tne railway share market .— Funch. M usical .—Under the liead of " They Won't lie Quiet," Punch has a word for the musical critics: " Judging by tlie papers, our friends the musical critics evidently intend to tie tiie death of us. A year ago they nearly killed us with their learning, and their elaborate exposition of A, w ith its corres ponding semitones, forming a major fifth, w ith a minor fourth, and being equivalent to an octavo and a half oi the diatonic scale, with eight sharps in the oar, and a tlat on the fourth crotchet. We did sur M\e all this erudition, somehow or other, but now we are about to be morally assassinated in another way, and the. first blow that has been struck at us consists in the announcement that " Tamburini's \ oice proved itseli, at a recent concert, exactly what it used lo be m his youngest and best days."' Now, we don I deny the justice of comparing Tamburini's voice to what it w^as in his " best"' days, but if it is like what it was in iiis "youngest" days, lie must have had, for a new born baby, one of the most as tounding baritones ever listened to. Our experi ence of infant vocalization leads us to believe, that any one's voice, in his youngest days, is a some what disagreeable compound of tlie creaking of a door and the whining of a cat ; but, if the critic is to be believed, Tamburini came into the world troll ing out Largonl Factotum, or thundering forth Non jiius Andrni, with all the force he ever in his best days was known to throw into them." " Bill, what's the nieanin' of all that readin' on the red ribbon strung out of that old feller'» mouth," said an Illinois volunteer loa comrade, pointing to the motto E Pluribus Unum, upon th« scroll in the beak of the eagle, on the flag of his company. 1 don't know zacly, Jake," sail I his companion inarms, "but I beam the schoolmaster of our town say that it meant hi \i tine of 'em !" " Well, lie ain't nothin' shorter, boss !" Some ill-natured lellow 1 asks : Who ever saw a lady that when questioned on tlie subject, did not say her dress was " very loose indeed," or that sliei " did not lace at all." 03-" Don't you think my dress much too long?" asked Seraphina, the youngest of the seven, of old Roger. " Don't cut it, miss, even if it is ; 1 beg of you as a friend not to cut it," said the old man se riously. " Why not ?" inquired she timidly. "Be cause, miss, I remember a difficulty of my own once under like circumstances, which was a source of much shame to me. Overtaken by a sever» shower far from home, I was terribly drenched, and a new pair of sheepskin inexpressibles that I wore, tied close at tlie knee, as was the fashion then, re ceived the dripping streams from my body, and, dis tended like a bad case of tlie dropsy, fell below my calves ; like your dress they were too long, anil I cut them off at the knee. But the warm sun soon came out, and the sheepskin contracted ; inch by inch I felt it creeping up my legs ; and by the tima I got home you may be sure I was a sight to behold. Don't cut it, miss, unless you feel perfectly sure it will not shrink more." There was a smile at tha old gentleman's delicacy in the matter, but ther« could be no fear of danger, and they didn't see how the cases were parallel at all.— Boston Post. D ecidedly E mphatic .—After the nomination of General Cass, the different States were called upon through their delegates, to give in their adhesion, when Mr. Griffin, who spoke for Kentucky, said: Kentucky—Mr. Griffin—The power of Henry Clay iB broken. I wish that God may eternally damn me if his power is riot broken up. (Roar* of laughter, hisses, cheers, "order N ovel T ravelling M achine .—-An ingenious mechanic, of Manchester, England, (Mr. Archibald Farrie,) lias invented a machine for travelling, which was tried in that town lately. It started from Great Ancoats street, and proceeded through Port street and Stevenson square into Piccadilly ; and from thence down Moseley street, Peter street, Deansgate, and back again up Market street lo An coats. The carriage was stopped every now and then to allow parties to inspect tiie movement of tha machine, the working of which appeared to causa the driver only a slight muscular effort, aided by manual dexterity. The machine weighs 8 cwt., has no cranks, and has been worked by one man up an incline of three inches in the yard, while twelve persons were in it. A skilful driver can make it go at a comfortably rapid rate. T he M odel B aby .—it is the image of its father, unless it is the very picture of its mother. It is tha best tempered little tiling in the world, never crying but in tlie middle of the night, or screaming but when it is being washed, it is astonishing how quiet it is whilst feeding. It understands everything, and proves its love for learning by tearing the leave» out of every book, ajid grasping with both hands at the engravings. It is the cleverest child that was ever horn, and says " papa," or something very hke it, when scarcely a month old. It takes early to lulling whiskers, preferring those of strangers. It las only one complaint, and that is the wind ; hut it is frequently troubled with it. It is the most won derful child that was everseen,and would swallow both its liny fists, if it was not for a habit of chok ing. It dislikes leaving home, rarely stopping on a isit longer than a day. It lias a strange hostility for its nurse's caps and nose, which it will clutch and hold with savage tenacity if in the least offend It is never happy butin its mother's arms, especially if it is being nursed by a gentleman. It prefers the floor to the cradle, which it never sto|« in longer than it can help. It is very playful, de lighting m pulling the table-cloth off', or knocking the china ornaments off the mantelpiece, or upset ting its food on somebody's lap. it invents a new "unguage of its own, almost before it can speak, liich is perfectly intelligible to its parents, though leek to every one else. It is not fond of public entertainments, invariably crying liefore it has been at one five minutes. It dislikes treachery in any shape, and repels the spoonful of sugar if it fancies there is a powder at the bottom of it. Medicine is its greatest horror, next to cold water. It iias no particular love for dress, generally tearing to pieces any handsome piece of finery, lace especially, as soon as it is put on. It inquires deeply into every thing, and is very penetrating in the construction of a drum, the economy of a work box, or the ana tomy of a doll, which it likes all the better without any head or arms. It has an intuitive hatred of a ioctor, and fights with all its legs, and hands, and first teeth, against Iiis endearments. It has a most extraordinary taste for colors, imbibing them greedi ly in every shape, more e; |>eeially from the wooden tenants of Noah's Ark, which are to be found in the mouth of every baby. In fact, there never was a hi Id like it, and the Model Baby proves this by surviving the thousand and one experiments of rival grannies arid mothers-in-law, and outliving, to tha athletic age of kilts and bare legs, the villanoiw compounds of Godfrey and iMlby, and the whole poison chest of Elixirs, Carminatives, Cordials, and Pills, which babies are physically heir to.— ing Mirror. Louis Philippe, a French paper , Lc Journal des Ville et Cam p a gnes , gives the following details of tiie ex - king : The sums which Louis Philippe has disposed of his exile , are not so large as is commonly be - lieved . It is true , that from 1830 to 1834, he invest - ed largely at London and in the United States ; but since 1834, persuaded that he had established his lyriasty on a firm foundation , he withdrew a por - ion of " these investments , to fund them in France . 1' he ex - king left behind more than 30,000,000 debts . His fortune is , however , of collossal dimensions . • Vfter deducting the debts it can lie valued 2f>0.000, OOOi '.; the estates of the family having greatly im - proved in value since 1830. Louis Philippe left Ii» personal affairs in the greatest disorder . Never as a royal household so badly regulated as his n ; the interior of which resembled the affaira of the country .

In the single cellar of Neuilly , there were 75,000 bottles , containing 150 kinds of wine , and a supply of 2-1,000 candles , for the service of the chateau. Louis Philipfie owed everywhere , for it was h 14 custom to pay as seldom as possible ."
