? Fatalism.—By Mathew Ca*ey.
Moreau de St. Mery, a French exile, who kept
a Book-store in Philadelphia,was a decided be
liever in destiny. He observed, in a conversa
tion which I once held with him on this subject,
that one man might fall out of a three story w ln
dow and be slightly, if at all hurt-while ano
ther, in crossing a gutter, or coming down stairs
would fall down and break a leg or an arm.—
In proof of his doctrine, he mentioned many of
his own remarkable escapes, ot which l remem
ber but two: On one occasion, he had been con
demned, <fc was on his way to the guillotine, when
one of the Guarde Nationale,—(a journeyman
printer, to whom Moreau had done some kind
iiess,)—took hold of him, and asked, ‘What do
vou here?*—crying aloud, at the same time,
; This man is a good citizen,—I know him well.’
Seizing him by the arm, he dragged him from
among the crowd of victims, at a moment when
he appeared to be on the verge of eternity.
At another time, he was at Brest, waiting for
a wind to sail for this country, having become
very highly obnoxious to the ruling powers. It
had blowed for several days west. At length it
veered about, and blew favorable for his voyage.
The captain, resolved to profit by it, sent a bell
man through the city to summon the passengeis
to come aboard without delay. St. Mery was
seated at a table, eating his dinner, but rose
from his seat when he heard the bell, although
he had but half finished his meal. The ship
immediately got under way. She had not been
out more than an hour, when a mandate arriv
ed from Paris to arrest Moreau, and bring him
to that city for trial, at a time when trial and
condemnation were nearly synonimous: A ves
sel was sent in pursuit, but was unable to over
take him. Thus a life hung by the thread of an
hour’s duration ot the wind in a favorable quar
ter. _
Punishment fob smoking in the srREET.-Burnes
in his travels in Central Asia, in his description
of Bokhara, a large city, states, “ You may open
ly purchase tobacco, and all the most approved
apparatus for inhaling it; yet if seen smoking in
public, you are straightway dragged before the
cadee, punished oy stripes, or paraded on a don
key with a blackened face, as a warning to oth
ers.” This is a good hint to Europeans; for the
prevalence of smoking in the streets of our towns
is a great nuisance. Mathews, in his recent bud
get, has a hit at the common practice, and says,
“ the dandies darken London by smoking cigars
in the streets.”
DIED.
On the 27th ult., near Wythe Ct. House, Va..
In the 50th year of his age, Col. John G. Stuart,
late of King George county, Vn. It was but a
few weeks since, we saw him in health, and spirits,
though saddened at parting with the cherished
friends of his youth, braced to a manly tone, by
a sense of duty, set out, with his amiable fami
ly for the South West carrying with him the af
fectionate respect of all who knew him. He haJ
reached Wythe county, when disease arrested
him. and in a few days burned his flattering pros
pects and ardent hopes in the grave.
He was a warm and generous hearted man,
proverbial for his hospitality, and kindness of
disposition. We wish not to indulge in studied
eulogy—one fact will bear testimony to the hold
he had upon the affections of the people who
knew him best: the citizens of King George, on
the eve of his departure, gave him a Public Din
ner—a testimony of respect, which, however
prostituted for political purposes, in the instance
under consideration, conveyed a compliment to
a private citizen, of which any one might be
proud. To all his old friends and neighbors the
nofvs of his death has occasioned the deepest
sorrow — Fred. Arena.
• [In recording the death of the lamented gen
tleman whose character is so well sketched in
the above article, we may be allowed to offer
our humble tribute to his memory. Col. Stuart
was deservedly popular. The very model of a
Virgina gentleman —with all that gaiety, socia
bility. kindness, hospitality and politeness, which
belong to the old school, he won the affections
of the young, while he secured the esteem of
the more aged. Mount Stuart (his residence)
was, emphatically, the seat of hospitality; and
many who read theie lines will, no doubt, sigh,
as we do, over the remembrance of the happy
hours tt^re spent with its noble hearted pro
prietor.
Col. Stuart had represented his county in the
Legislature of the State, and, for the last few
years of his life, was Clerk of the county. His
friends loved him as one of die best of men and
kindest of neighbors. In all the relations of
life, he sustained the most exalted character;
and when he left King George for Alabama, he
left not an enemy in the world behind him.
The death of such a man may well occasion
aocrow. To all who knew him, the event will
be the cause of the deepest regret.]
At Norfolk, on Monday evening, Lieutenant
William Taylor, of the United States Navy.—
Lieut. TayJor was a native of Lunenburg coun

riod. During the Jate war he was for a time at

The principal topic of discussion was the me

closing, moved to strike out the enacting clause

cluded, took the floor, and, after proceeding for
a few moments, in answer to Mr. Hardin, gave
way to a motion by Mr. Coulter that the com
