The venerable editor of the National Intelligencer, ina lengthy notice of the death of Gen. Rusk, late U. S. Senator from Texas, pays the following handsome and glowing tribute to the memory of that distinguished statesman : He was one of the most hospitable men that ever lived. No one in want ever applied to him in vain. He wasa friend to the widow and erpban, and made it a rule never to charge either for any legal advice or services. He was not ambitious. His whole aim seemed to be to do right and all the good he could to every one. He was, too, a firm believer im the Bible, and read it often and thoroughly. To the poor he was an ever constant and warm friend. Many & poor person in this city, asin other places, will miss bim, and long remember with the liveliest feelings of gratitude his kindness and unwearying exertions to help and assist them.— . During his long senatorial service he never permitted any one to wse his senatorial frank, or to use it himself, except strictly in the discharge of his official privilege. In his whole character he wasemphatically one of nature’s noblemen “on whom every god had seemed to set his seal . to give the world assurances of a man.’’ Inall the relations of life, as husband, father, neighbor, friend, warrior or statesmen, entirely exemplary towards others ; yet, as “there is uene perfect, no, not oue,”’ he had his faults, and fell by his own hand, in a temporary fit of insanity, produced by excessive grief for the loss of his . devoted wife, a lady of rare excellence and piety, who had married him in early life, and followed his fortunes with pride and devotion in all his struggles to fertune and fame, and to whom he was truly devoted. Whilst in the dis. . charge ef his public duties hie mind was drawn . ewer from his irreparable loss, but on returning home, amidst hia associations, his thoughts constantly dwelt upon the absent one, which . cast a gloom like a shadow over his whole ex. istence, impossible for him to expel, and which ended in iusanity and suicide’ But ‘The boast of heraldry, the ponypof power And.all that beauty, all that wealth ere gave, Await alike the inevitable hour ; The paths of glory lead but to the grave.” . The English Dictionary. Few English readers can have failed to be struck, while turning over the pages of this dic. tionary, with the large proportion of words in it . which are strange to him, and which, if not . wholly undomesticated or become obselete. are . rarely met with in the whole course of the literature of theday. The Dublin University Magfound in the dictionasy, which rarely, if ever, . . enter intdé either the spoken or written language . of the present day : Dictionary English is something. very differ. lent not only from common colloquial English, . . but even from that of ordinary written composition. Instead of about 40,000 words, there is . probably no single author in the language frem . whose works, however voluminous, so many as . 10,000 words could be collected. Of the 40,. . 000 words there are many more than one-half . that are only employed, if they are ever employed at all, on the rarest occasions. We should any of us be surprised to find, if we . counted them, with how small a number of words we manage to express all that we have to say, either with our lips or even with the pen. Our common literary English probably hardly . extends to 10,000 words, our common spoken . azine, in the following paragraph, undertakes to . . indicate approximately the propertion of words where he passed the Iast years of his life in a Mr. Delane of the London Times. The N. Y. Journal of Commerce gives an interesting sketch of the late Mr. F, A. Delane, formerly manager of the J.ondon Times, and to whom mere than to any other individual that journal was indebted for its celebrity : He was not the editor of the journal, and rarely wrote in its pages; but he was what is termed the commercial manager, and superintended all its business details, By him it was that that vast system of correspondence which has.enabled the Zimes to throw out its net-work throughout the globe, was organized. He it was who instituted or invented those marvelous dispatches and expresses which enabled the leading London journal to outstrip all others in England, and on almost all important occasions to even anticipate the Government itself. Wherever any intelligence of moment was to be gleaned, a special correspondent was instantly dispatched; if any important political event or meeting came off at Edinburg or Glasgow, or in any part of the British dominions within five hundred miles of the metropolis, reporters were sent, and transcribed their notes while return. ing in a post-ebaise at the rate of twenty miles an hour. This was before railways were instituted. “Mr. Delane stood at the head of his depart. . ment of the London Times for upwards of aquarterof acentury, exhibiting a vast knowled of political affairs and mercantile events. He . it was who discovered and euccesafully exposed that gigantio scheme of swindling which was intended to embrace all Europe within its meabes, and ultimately to extend to America too,— The design was frustrated at an expense ef many thousand pounds by the above ramed journal, and so grateful did the mercantile community feel, "that they subscribed a large sum to be presented to the paper by way of testimonial, The proprieters, however, declined accepting it for their own personal use, remaining contented with an inscription on a slab in front of the office door, and turning over the rest of the subscription for the founding of scholarship in one of the leading Baglish Universities, bearing the name of tne Zimes.”’ Jnfortunately, in the years 1845-6, Mr. Delane became involved in what was then termed the Railway mania, and in conjunction with Mr. Alsage, who wrote the city articles, specuInted deeply; and some stock having through their instrumentality been raised to a fictitious height of three or four per cent, above its real value, both, though considered the main pillars . of the journal, were dismissed in an bour. Mr. . Alsage cut his throat. Mr. Delane went over to an opposition journal, the London Chronicle, and, after sinking a large sum ef money in that es. tablishment, it was disposed of to its present conductors, avd Mr. Delane retired to Norwell, small situation connected with a provincial county court. A son of Mr. Delane occupies a . post on the London Times, which is said te be almost similar to that of his late father. It was the son of Mr. Delane who recently made a brief tour to this country. IsRakLitxs IN Hixpoostan.—The Israelites in England have sent an address to their brethren in the Bombay army, exhorting them to remain true to the interests of the British Crowa.— Apropos of this, the Abendzeitung of New York publishes the following extract from Hasse)’s Geography : “In Malabar alone there are twenty thou. sand Jews, and in the remainder of the Penin. sula their number is proportionably great.— . . English hardly to 5,000. And the proportion . 000 than it isin the 40,000. . 000 words, or thereabouts, standing in the dic. tionaries, that are very rarely or never used, . . even in writing, between 20,000 and 25,000 may . . be of French and Latin extracgion. If we assume 22,000 to be so, that will leave 5,000 Teu. . tonic words in common use; and in our literary . . English, taken at 10,000 words, those that are . . non-Roman will thus amount to about half. Of! . that half 4,000 words may be current in eur ‘spoken language. which will therefore be . genuine English for four-fifths of ite entire ex. . tent. It will consist of about 4,000 Gothic and the . 1,000 Roman words. . Rey. Mr. Seudder, of India, in a letter to the ‘Christian Intelligencer, gives the following instance ef heroism, called forth by the Indian mutinies : . Yet Americans never be ashamed that Eng. lishmen are their forefathers. England is a no‘ble country. Her sons are heroes and her daughters are heroines. This rebellion has brought out decds that deserve to be associated . with those valorous actions which we, with throbbing pulses, read inhistory. Iu one place, . of native or home-grown words is undoubtedly . the period of the Babylonian captivity. They very much higher in both the 5,000 and the 10,-. assert that a portion of the tribe of Manassas, Perhaps of the 30,. after three years wandering, finally settled in . They date their presence in Hindoostan from India, to the number of twenty thousand families, Growing in favor among the Hindoos, they in a short time increased to eighty thousand families, and were soon powerful enough to establish the kingdom of Cranganore, upon the coast of Malabar. Here they flourished for some years, under a republican form of govern. being in a repub ment. presided over by two chiefs. They still retain their chronicles in the Hebrew language, which are said to commence with the reign of Nebuchadnezzer. This people are known as “White Jews.’ There are also “Black WHOLE NO, 224. Onx or THE Oatus.—A Justice of the Peace not far from Mud Springs, says the Placerville Argus, recently tried « case of assault and battery, wherein a Chivaman was plaintiff and a colored individual the defendant. In the course of the investigetion the Justice administered the follewing form of oath te the Chinaman, which made the spectators, Chinaman, and defendant, ‘tremble in their boots’ during the ceremony: “You de solemnly svar, inthe pr of God Almighty, that you will tell the trath in ve case reget on — ng, and if you ee you wpe to rowned on your way to Canton, oon go to hell and be dapeed.” San Disco Iypians.—A correspondent of the San Francisco Herald, says: “The San Diego Indians are a miserable, harmless race. y live on melons, pumpkins, acorns, eto., and are fast dwindling away. An incident occurred in this tribe, but a short time age, which will, no doubt, surprise you, A white man was traveling with one of them, and had lain down to sleep. The Indian killed him, and teok possession of his horse. The other Indians arrested, tried and hung him without any interference of the whites, Murpers in Napa Counry.—The Napa Reporter learns that the bedy of Henry Milis was found on the 16th ult., near his tent on ‘the divide, between Russian river and Big Valley. There was a ball wound in his bead, oc the marks of ariata en hie neek, He was herdin cattle there, aud an Indian who was engag with him, has disappeared. The body of another man, name not given, was found lately in the same vicinity, shockingly mutilated. Farau Arrray.—A fatal affray occurred at Michigan Bluffs, in Placer county, Jan, 10th, between two men, on account of a dispute over agame of cards, One of them. whose name was James Mitcher, drew a knife and advanced upon his antagonist, named Dennis McCarty, who warned him off and fired one shot with a revolver, without effect, Mitcher continued anvenotn g, when MeCarty fired ngaim and killed m.

Tue Uncerramties or Juries.—It isan old and trite saying that the Jaw is very uncertain, . but all lawyers agree that juries are even more juncertain than the law. A case occurred ino the Court of Sessions yesterday afternoon exemplyfying the correctness of the latter proposition. A person was on trial for violation of the law, in selling goods at suction without a proper license, and the case was given to a jury . under instructions from the Courts as regards the law, which were very strong against the ac. eused. While the illustrious jury were out, the . counsel for the defendant agreed with the Pros. eenting Attorney to allow the jury to bring in . a verdict of guilty, so well satisfied was he that . his client had no show, but just as the word was . being sent, the jury came in, and reported their utter inability to agree—standing six for ac. quittal to six for conviction. The announce. ment created no little astonishment as well as . amusement, not only to the Court and Bar, but . to the defendant, and while it proves that juries will sometimes return verdicts contrary to both the law and evidence; it should be a warning to lawyers, never to give up a case, no matter . how desperate, until they have heard from the jury.—Sac.

The good lady was shocked at the boy’s profanity, and, giv‘ing him a box on tha ear, exclaimed, ‘What! . dost thou read the pewepapes with the Bible twang’’’ Many a minister has a twang or tone for the pulpit that he never uses in conversation. Ifa lawyer at the bar should address the jury in the preaching tone, he would make them Jaugh when he wished them to weep. Preaching should be done in the ordinary tone, such . es used between man and man; but many prea. ehers pitch on a key so variant from their nat. ural voice that they would not be recognized . unless they could be seen. InrorMaTION Wantep.—The Los Angeles Star, says that a boy named Thomas J. Loveall, aged about twelve years, and from Johnson county, Mo., has just arrived at Los Angeles from the plains, in search of his father, Hiram Loveall. .

Alone, and on foot. the little fellow pureued his journey, sleeping by the road side, and often be . without food for days together. He thinks his father intended to proceed to Russian River. When last heard of, he was in —r witha Dr. Freeman. Any information of Mr. Loveall’s whereabouts, may be directed to either the editor of the Star, or . to Dr. Thomas Foster, of Los Angeles, The horror . ment arrived in Colusi the very night of his escape, Gov.

The venerable editor of the National Intelligencer, ina lengthy notice of the death of Gen. Rusk, late U. S. Senator from Texas, pays the following handsome and glowing tribute to the memory of that distinguished statesman :

He was one of the most hospitable men that ever lived. No one in want ever applied to him in vain. He wasa friend to the widow and erpban, and made it a rule never to charge either for any legal advice or services. He was not ambitious. His whole aim seemed to be to do right and all the good he could to every one. He was, too, a firm believer im the Bible, and read it often and thoroughly. To the poor he was an ever constant and warm friend. Many & poor person in this city, asin other places, will miss bim, and long remember with the liveliest feelings of gratitude his kindness and unwearying exertions to help and assist them.— . During his long senatorial service he never permitted any one to wse his senatorial frank, or to use it himself, except strictly in the discharge of his official privilege. In his whole character he wasemphatically one of nature’s noblemen “on whom every god had seemed to set his seal . to give the world assurances of a man.’’ Inall the relations of life, as husband, father, neighbor, friend, warrior or statesmen, entirely exemplary towards others ; yet, as “there is uene perfect, no, not oue,”’ he had his faults, and fell by his own hand, in a temporary fit of insanity, produced by excessive grief for the loss of his . devoted wife, a lady of rare excellence and piety, who had married him in early life, and followed his fortunes with pride and devotion in all his struggles to fertune and fame, and to whom he was truly devoted. Whilst in the dis. . charge ef his public duties hie mind was drawn . ewer from his irreparable loss, but on returning home, amidst hia associations, his thoughts constantly dwelt upon the absent one, which . cast a gloom like a shadow over his whole ex. istence, impossible for him to expel, and which ended in iusanity and suicide’ But ‘The boast of heraldry, the ponypof power And.all that beauty, all that wealth ere gave, Await alike the inevitable hour ; The paths of glory lead but to the grave.” . The English Dictionary. Few English readers can have failed to be struck, while turning over the pages of this dic. tionary, with the large proportion of words in it . which are strange to him, and which, if not . wholly undomesticated or become obselete. are . rarely met with in the whole course of the literature of theday. The Dublin University Magfound in the dictionasy, which rarely, if ever, . . enter intdé either the spoken or written language . of the present day : Dictionary English is something. very differ. lent not only from common colloquial English, . . but even from that of ordinary written composition. Instead of about 40,000 words, there is . probably no single author in the language frem . whose works, however voluminous, so many as . 10,000 words could be collected. Of the 40,. . 000 words there are many more than one-half . that are only employed, if they are ever employed at all, on the rarest occasions. We should any of us be surprised to find, if we . counted them, with how small a number of words we manage to express all that we have to say, either with our lips or even with the pen. Our common literary English probably hardly . extends to 10,000 words, our common spoken . azine, in the following paragraph, undertakes to . . indicate approximately the propertion of words where he passed the Iast years of his life in a Mr. Delane of the London Times. The N. Y. Journal of Commerce gives an interesting sketch of the late Mr. F, A. Delane, formerly manager of the J.ondon Times, and to whom mere than to any other individual that journal was indebted for its celebrity : He was not the editor of the journal, and rarely wrote in its pages; but he was what is termed the commercial manager, and superintended all its business details, By him it was that that vast system of correspondence which has.enabled the Zimes to throw out its net-work throughout the globe, was organized. He it was who instituted or invented those marvelous dispatches and expresses which enabled the leading London journal to outstrip all others in England, and on almost all important occasions to even anticipate the Government itself. Wherever any intelligence of moment was to be gleaned, a special correspondent was instantly dispatched; if any important political event or meeting came off at Edinburg or Glasgow, or in any part of the British dominions within five hundred miles of the metropolis, reporters were sent, and transcribed their notes while return. ing in a post-ebaise at the rate of twenty miles an hour. This was before railways were instituted. “Mr. Delane stood at the head of his depart. . ment of the London Times for upwards of aquarterof acentury, exhibiting a vast knowled of political affairs and mercantile events. He . it was who discovered and euccesafully exposed that gigantio scheme of swindling which was intended to embrace all Europe within its meabes, and ultimately to extend to America too,— The design was frustrated at an expense ef many thousand pounds by the above ramed journal, and so grateful did the mercantile community feel, "that they subscribed a large sum to be presented to the paper by way of testimonial, The proprieters, however, declined accepting it for their own personal use, remaining contented with an inscription on a slab in front of the office door, and turning over the rest of the subscription for the founding of scholarship in one of the leading Baglish Universities, bearing the name of tne Zimes.”’ Jnfortunately, in the years 1845-6, Mr. Delane became involved in what was then termed the Railway mania, and in conjunction with Mr. Alsage, who wrote the city articles, specuInted deeply; and some stock having through their instrumentality been raised to a fictitious height of three or four per cent, above its real value, both, though considered the main pillars . of the journal, were dismissed in an bour. Mr. . Alsage cut his throat. Mr. Delane went over to an opposition journal, the London Chronicle, and, after sinking a large sum ef money in that es. tablishment, it was disposed of to its present conductors, avd Mr. Delane retired to Norwell, small situation connected with a provincial county court. A son of Mr. Delane occupies a . post on the London Times, which is said te be almost similar to that of his late father. It was the son of Mr. Delane who recently made a brief tour to this country. IsRakLitxs IN Hixpoostan.—The Israelites in England have sent an address to their brethren in the Bombay army, exhorting them to remain true to the interests of the British Crowa.— Apropos of this, the Abendzeitung of New York publishes the following extract from Hasse)’s Geography : “In Malabar alone there are twenty thou. sand Jews, and in the remainder of the Penin. sula their number is proportionably great.— . . English hardly to 5,000. And the proportion . 000 than it isin the 40,000. . 000 words, or thereabouts, standing in the dic. tionaries, that are very rarely or never used, . . even in writing, between 20,000 and 25,000 may . . be of French and Latin extracgion. If we assume 22,000 to be so, that will leave 5,000 Teu. . tonic words in common use; and in our literary . . English, taken at 10,000 words, those that are . . non-Roman will thus amount to about half. Of! . that half 4,000 words may be current in eur ‘spoken language. which will therefore be . genuine English for four-fifths of ite entire ex. . tent. It will consist of about 4,000 Gothic and the . 1,000 Roman words. . Rey. Mr. Seudder, of India, in a letter to the ‘Christian Intelligencer, gives the following instance ef heroism, called forth by the Indian mutinies : . Yet Americans never be ashamed that Eng. lishmen are their forefathers. England is a no‘ble country. Her sons are heroes and her daughters are heroines. This rebellion has brought out decds that deserve to be associated . with those valorous actions which we, with throbbing pulses, read inhistory. Iu one place, . of native or home-grown words is undoubtedly . the period of the Babylonian captivity. They very much higher in both the 5,000 and the 10,-. assert that a portion of the tribe of Manassas, Perhaps of the 30,. after three years wandering, finally settled in . They date their presence in Hindoostan from India, to the number of twenty thousand families, Growing in favor among the Hindoos, they in a short time increased to eighty thousand families, and were soon powerful enough to establish the kingdom of Cranganore, upon the coast of Malabar. Here they flourished for some years, under a republican form of govern. being in a repub ment. presided over by two chiefs. They still retain their chronicles in the Hebrew language, which are said to commence with the reign of Nebuchadnezzer. This people are known as “White Jews.’ There are also “Black WHOLE NO, 224. Onx or THE Oatus.—A Justice of the Peace not far from Mud Springs, says the Placerville Argus, recently tried « case of assault and battery, wherein a Chivaman was plaintiff and a colored individual the defendant. In the course of the investigetion the Justice administered the follewing form of oath te the Chinaman, which made the spectators, Chinaman, and defendant, ‘tremble in their boots’ during the ceremony: “You de solemnly svar, inthe pr of God Almighty, that you will tell the trath in ve case reget on — ng, and if you ee you wpe to rowned on your way to Canton, oon go to hell and be dapeed.” San Disco Iypians.—A correspondent of the San Francisco Herald, says: “The San Diego Indians are a miserable, harmless race. y live on melons, pumpkins, acorns, eto., and are fast dwindling away. An incident occurred in this tribe, but a short time age, which will, no doubt, surprise you, A white man was traveling with one of them, and had lain down to sleep. The Indian killed him, and teok possession of his horse. The other Indians arrested, tried and hung him without any interference of the whites, Murpers in Napa Counry.—The Napa Reporter learns that the bedy of Henry Milis was found on the 16th ult., near his tent on ‘the divide, between Russian river and Big Valley. There was a ball wound in his bead, oc the marks of ariata en hie neek, He was herdin cattle there, aud an Indian who was engag with him, has disappeared. The body of another man, name not given, was found lately in the same vicinity, shockingly mutilated. Farau Arrray.—A fatal affray occurred at Michigan Bluffs, in Placer county, Jan, 10th, between two men, on account of a dispute over agame of cards, One of them. whose name was James Mitcher, drew a knife and advanced upon his antagonist, named Dennis McCarty, who warned him off and fired one shot with a revolver, without effect, Mitcher continued anvenotn g, when MeCarty fired ngaim and killed m. Tas Mint CLosep.—Mr. Hempstead, Superintendent of the Branch Mint, has given notice that from and after the 19th inst., no buliion will be received for coinage until further notice, The coiving and refining Tepartbante have been closed for a short time in order to put in new steam boilers.

Tue Uncerramties or Juries.—It isan old and trite saying that the Jaw is very uncertain, . but all lawyers agree that juries are even more juncertain than the law. A case occurred ino the Court of Sessions yesterday afternoon exemplyfying the correctness of the latter proposition. A person was on trial for violation of the law, in selling goods at suction without a proper license, and the case was given to a jury . under instructions from the Courts as regards the law, which were very strong against the ac. eused. While the illustrious jury were out, the . counsel for the defendant agreed with the Pros. eenting Attorney to allow the jury to bring in . a verdict of guilty, so well satisfied was he that . his client had no show, but just as the word was . being sent, the jury came in, and reported their utter inability to agree—standing six for ac. quittal to six for conviction. The announce. ment created no little astonishment as well as . amusement, not only to the Court and Bar, but . to the defendant, and while it proves that juries will sometimes return verdicts contrary to both the law and evidence; it should be a warning to lawyers, never to give up a case, no matter . how desperate, until they have heard from the jury.—Sac.

The good lady was shocked at the boy’s profanity, and, giv‘ing him a box on tha ear, exclaimed, ‘What! . dost thou read the pewepapes with the Bible twang’’’ Many a minister has a twang or tone for the pulpit that he never uses in conversation. Ifa lawyer at the bar should address the jury in the preaching tone, he would make them Jaugh when he wished them to weep. Preaching should be done in the ordinary tone, such . es used between man and man; but many prea. ehers pitch on a key so variant from their nat. ural voice that they would not be recognized . unless they could be seen.
