A SKETCH. The on!v event with which famil iarly does not produce indifference is Deaih. The only event certain to occur to all men, is the very one from which nature most universally recoils in horror. The witnessing does not render it less hideou?; the impossibility of avoiding t less terri ble. ' To all, to the brave ns to the iimm, to tne wcaK as to tlio strong, to the christian as to the wicked; the parting of soul and body is an awful, an overwhelming event. The heart is palsied, the mind stnggers in the vain effort to comprehend its import or to grasp its result. "That great change which cometh upon all men." finds all men alike unknowing of it nature. Faith may be firm, hope un wavering; but knowledge is denied u, and we leap into the grave ignorant of the scenes which shall hail our wakirg. We have seen a number ol deaths -not mnny, for we have no taste for the horrible yet we never saw the stern messenger met with se frightful a mixture of defunce and awe, cnur age which would have proudly con fronted a living foe, and abject dread of an unknown and avenging future, than in the case of a man whose last moments we watched on an occasion not very remote. We were walking along Jefferson street one evening, when we were met by a friend, a physician, who sug gested to us a visit to a "queer patient" of his, as he called him, who was lying on a flat boat, or sort of Ark, tied up at the upper landing After threading our way through numerous piles of lumber and wares, and over a rickety foot-path of planks connecting the deck with ihe shore, we (ound ourselves in the cabin of the mntaA iirifli miw.h Knnrla was nnrlinllv illnmiriPil liv n tnl , vw eniinifi sinrx in n tint llf nnl n lew r-. - imouldering embers, halt extinguish ed, upon a aort of extemporaneous hearth near the stern. A few crazy chairs, a table, and here and there piles of household goods, bedding, &.C., were the sole contents of the cabin, if we except a bunk or cot bedstead placed about mid-ship, and from which occasional deep, half-suppresse d groans announced both the presence and the anguish of the patient. Removing tho candle from its place the Doctor proceeded to the bed side, and the smoky light fell full upon the features of the dying man, for such he evidently was. On the opposite side stood a woman, his wife as we cor rectly connected, holding an infant tome tii months old in her arms, and ,by turns answering tho questions ol the Doctor and soothing the fretful nessofthe child. She was by no means a heroine for a romance, her red eyes and face, and her relaxed, expressionless features indicating too plainly the effect of gross intemper ance or an originally degraded intel lect and a coarse person. "He has'nt spoke none, sir, since you were here afore, but he keeps groanin' all the time. I don't see what good it docs to do that neither," she added grulllv, giving no amicable glance at the sufferer. After some trouble the physician obtained an account of the symptoms of a more satisfactory character. He examined the patient carefully, the latter eyeing him with intense eager ness, yet without speaking a word. At length the Doctor restored the arm to its place, after counting the pulse, and taking a chair he motioned to us to follow his example. His look if mnniiH.r wctu nut ivsat ui'u sick man. He saw in them the with drawal of all hope, and with a cry that spoke volumes of despair, turned over to die. The woman seated herself at the foot of the bed, and there watched with stupid indifference tho gradual unlosing of the cords of life, snapping one by one. A few moments of labored and stentorous breathing on the part of the patient were followed by a wild, mad dencd effort of vigor, the last struggle of exhausted naturo. Raising himself on his elbow he glared fiercely at the physician. Well T he shrieked, rather than said, what shall I take t Speak! 1 can pay youl Give me medicine I Why the ft 1( don't you do something V Th IWtnr made no answer. You don't mean that you can tfr nothing tor me, do you i i ou aon i give me up, do you? Come now, l)octor,' he added, with a gastly at tempt to smile, 'don't try to scare met You see you can't do it. Give me gomathing to cure the pain here, and here, and here and he pressed his bands on as many diffeient portions of his almost paralyzed person. After a brief interval of silence, during which he did not seem to ex pect an answer, he demanded with startling vehemence, and in a voice unnaturally deep and cavernous. You don't mean that I am dying, eh V It is my duty to say, sir, that you have not five minutes to live, replied the distressed physician. The sufferer glared at him with a cold, stony, look for a moment, and then turning his gaze round they encountered the face ol his wile. What do you here? Away with her. D n her, but for her I would not be as I am.' Here the frightened child commenced screaming. 'Take the brat away 1 Can't I even die in peat;e?' he added savagely, and with a look that proved that had he the power he would soon have quieted its complaints forever. To die !' he continued, as he fell back on his bed, 'well, what of that T Every body has to die, and ! among the rest but not now. not now Doctor, you must save me. Who snys I must die J No, no, I am better a'ready; I will get up!' and he made an abortive attempt to rise, falling helplessly bnck. 'Is there a preacher in this pla:e? A preacher! What do I want with him? No, no none of that trumpery for me. I'll die game, that 1 will,' and he glared around him with an expression of ghastly exultation. 'It can't be true. what the parsons tell us about but if it is!' and the poor wretch hid his face in the bedclothes and ' moaned with horror. 'Doctor, can you pray, or you?' he continued after a pause, 'pray for me then! for m :! But no d n your prayers they can do me no good it's too late now besides, who's afraid? If I must die, I must, and I'll die 'ike like like A hopeless, despairing creature !' one might have added, as he rolled over on his side and with a fain!, con vulsive strugele. was dead. We hurried from the cabin horror struck at what we had witnessed; and we have thought a description of the scene might not prove unwelcome to some who do not reflect upon the real frequency of such in our midst or the lesons which they teach. Memphis Appeal. The New York Courier & Enquir er has tho following explanation of the retirement of Lord ralniersU from the British ministry "Lord Palmerston's retiring from! the British ministry, appears to have excited very great ottention in Eng land; and speculation is life as usual, as to its cause. Now let us guess a little as to what it means. Two years ago, we were on the verge of "war with England in relation to Nicaragua; but the public knew nothing of it. The question then was in London, whether Palmerston should or should not retire, on the ground that he was so committed, that there could not possibly .1 bat. a satisfactory nrrangemeot with this country in re lation to the Mosquito question, if he continued in the Cabinet. We know more on this subject than it is prudent to write. Suffice it to say, that the attempt was made to settle the Mos quito question with us, and still retain Lord Palmerston in the Cabinet. "Well.the attempt has failed, .as it was predicted it inevitably must do; and now, when the demands, of our Administration in connection with the Prometheus affair, are presented in Downing street, the old question arises 'Shall we retain Palmerston and go to war with the United States, or thrust him out and preserve the peace of the world ?' The decision has been in favor of peace, and Pah merston has retired.'' Washington, Jan. 7. Senate. The chair laid before the Senate yesterday the following mes sage from the President, which was referred to the Committee on Finance: To the Senate of the United States : I transmit to the Senate a report of the Secretary of Stale relative to the prisoners belonging to the expedition of Lopez, who were taken prisoners in Cuba and afterwards sent to Spain, and who have now been pardoned and released by her Catholic Majesty. The appropriation, the expediency of which is suggested in the report, 1 cordially commend to the considera tion of Congress, with the single ad ditional suggestion, that, to be availa ble, it shf ulcTbe promptly made. MILLARD FILLMORE. Jan. 5, 1852. Tn the President of the United . The Secretary of State has the honor to acknowledge a copy of the despatch ol the lath uit., aaaressen to this Department by Mr. Barringer, ti.e Minister of the United States at Madrid, announcing the pardon and release, by Her Catholic Majesty, of the prisoners taken in Cuba in the a v rtA i I inn A f I.onez. and afterwards Pnt to SDain: together with copies of several accompanying papers. The Secretary ol state suggests to the President the propriety of recom mending to Congress the expediency of making an appropriation for the purpose of defraying the expenses which may have been, or may be, incurred in administering to the nc ccss:ties of those persons while in Syain, and their return to the U. S. Their condition is torlnrn and de plorable, and such as calls for immc diate relief. Respectfully submitted. DANILL WEBSTER. HENRY CLAY. Tom Marshal,1, in a late letter to the Louisville Journal, thus holds forth in relation to Mr. Clay. "He owes less of his commanding inUuences to other men than any great leader 1 have ever known or ol whom I have ever read, fie consults no- bodv, leans upon nobody, he fears no body. He wears nature's patenP of nobility lorever upon his brow. He stalks among men with an unanswer able and never doubting air of com mand. His sweeping and imperial pride, his indomitable will, his un quailing courage challenge from all submission or combat. With him there can be no neutrality. Death, tribute or the knout, is his motto. Great in speech, great in action, his greatness is all his own. tie is independent alike of history or the schools he knows little of cither and despises both his ambition. his spirit and his eloquence ore all great, natural and entirely his own. If he is like any body, he does not know it. He has never studied mod els, and if he had, his pride would res cue him from the fault of imitation. He stands among men in towering and barbaric grandeur, and all the hardened rudeness of perfect original ity, independent of the polish and be yond the reach ol art. His vast out line and grand but undefined propor tions, liken him to a huge mass ol granite torn in some convulsion ol nature from a mountain's side, which any effort of the chisel could only dis figure, and which no instrument in the sculptor's studio could grasp or comprehend. One thousand ions of tobacco are annually squirted over the face of creation, and twenty tons ol ivory are worn out chewing the weed eyery seven years. The following we find among the intelligence from Mexico in the New Oi leans Crescent: On the 1st December a portion of the inhabitants of Zacatlan seized upon Vicente M. Garcia and Manuel Burgos, curates of that place, and also Manuel Gomez, who endeavored to assist the priests in defending them selves, carried them to the banks of an adjacent river, bent them to death with clubs and threw their corpses into the river. Avarice The accumulation of wealth for its own sake, brings with it its own punishment, in the drying up of every fount of human affection withi.i us, in the disruption of every tie with which the charities of life are bound, and in the conversion of the heart into a substance 'harder than the nether millstone.' Female Doctors. The first com mencement for conferring the Degree of M D in the female Medica! College, was held at the Musical fund Hall, Philadelphia, on last Wednesday. The exercises were very interesting, and witnessed by a large and intel ligent audience. Eight ladies had the degree of M D conferred upon them: Mrs. Hannah E Longshore, of Phila; Miss Anna M Longshore, f Bucks County; Mrs. Angenetta A Hunt, of New York; Mrs. Martha M Swain, of Boston; Ann Preston, Phoebe Way, and Susannah II Ellis, all of Chester County; and Mrs. Frances G Mitchell, cf Philadelphia. OBITUARY. "The trees of their leaves may be reft In winter alone on the hill But still a fond few will be left, To flatter and cling to them still." Though applied lo the condition of the forest, yet how mournfully applicable are these lines lothe condition oJ the human family, save ill is exception; Ihe irees have rpgulat seasons to be stripped of their ver dure, yet 'All seasons are thine, 0!

Death may enter the quiet family circle and snatch from their embrace, a cherished son or daughter, yet there remain those who will cheer and so lace them in their ultimate descent to Ihe tomb. Thece reflections were elicited by the death of Hooh Chesnut, son of James Chesnutt, Esq., in the 20ih year of his age. lie has fallen a victim of that dread scourge of humanity, known by Physicians under the title of Typhoid or Winter Fe ver.
