MISCELLANEOUS. Excitenent in Canada-A Corpse Stotdt by Medical Students. A .most sacrilegious outrage was perpe trated in Canada last week, the particu lars of which are thus given by the Mon treal papers. "Ou Tuesday and Wed -nesday lastthe Englisb village at Chain bly became the scene of no small excite ment,'it having come to the knowledge of the inhabitants that the remains of the late Barrack Sergeant- Campbell. which had been iterretd a few days previous,. with military honors, in the Catholic ce metery in the French 'village, had been dug up and dragged from their last res ting-place by some young "aspirants" to the Scalpel, who--were finishing -their -studies under.the village Saogrado. - So little pains bad these.midnight robbers of human flesh, taken to conceal their atro cipus act, that oaethe family of- the'decea sed-going early on the morning after the day'dfiuterilient to visittbe 'grave, they discoverpditn.uiteniated; the coffin and windingshieeptbrown'aside, and marks of - bairand brood on the high well that the : body bad been dragged over. The late ergeant Campbell was a fine old soldier 4 vbo'had served many years in the fif {teei'h Regiment, and that: coips leav ing Canada, be was transferred to the 85th Regt... to complete his service; having done:s' he retired with a-hand some pension of one shilling and (enpence a day..and was soon :after: appointed.to the: Barrack. Sergeantry' of the Cavalry Barracks, Chumbly. -"He was personally respected, and has left a large family to depire his loss--chiefly girls. Their mo therihas for some :years, been confined and helpless. During Tuesday, every effort was made to discover the stolen re mains, and if possible to trace the mid night marauders to their haunts. Suspi cion. at last pointed to an. old - desolate looking house, which % as 'formerly the Seigniory house and which, in truth, had the general appearance, of a' "Burking hoase." The officers of the garrison consequent ly applied to the magistrates for a search warrant, which -was immediately granted. The cave was forced open, and a set of dark damp slimy dungeons were exposed to view; lights tieing procured. a sort of meat safe was discovered in the corner of the vault (which'was-not more than three feet high,} and in.-this corner was. heaped the inugled. remains of the old soldier. A roie was round the neck of the corpse, with which it had-.been dragged from the .grave.. The.sight was shocking and de .grading beyond belief. It being dark lea the-remains were discovered, it was decidedthey should not be reinterred be fore the following day,-aud a couple of sentries were.furnished from the garrison to protect the mangled corpse from fur ther-insult.-The following day being a te day,'no workman could.be found to a fresh colfiu;-and it was late in the ;'beforea shell coffin wasbrought to the spot, when the garrison, a funeral-party, the uuaic, and all the other oflicers, were waitiug to- escort the veteran's remains once more tothe grave.. The whole of the English .inhabitants. and also a few - of the respectable French ones,, who -had hear'dolhe atrocity, were -also in wait ing to escort the -remains to the grave, evinciug, at once, the respect in which the memory of the deceased was held and the borror in which they-held the authors of. this diabolical sacrilege. 'The body was carried. by tbe non-commiissionedi .o1icers~ofthe.7.ist.Regimnent. *A little before dark the party reached the old military burying ground, where a good deed grave. had been dug. 'This old cejgeiery..a.; close to the foot and under the survyiellance of a s.entry. The mortal remains of Sergeani Gampbell were once more consigned td their last -resting place. TIhe old -military burnal grousid. which fobr years has been laid w'aste, is, it is un derstood, to- be enclosed and 'p-lisadoed. This-ts as ii should-. be. for the least the soldier col - expect, after sacrificing hit best energies and life in the service of hit Sttvereign-and country,' in the four quar. ters of the globe, -subject to every vicissi* tude of cimze, is --that when cousigned ts the grave, his remains should lie honored -and undisturbed. - Recorder's Court-Frst Muni :ipalityj M'Purder a& ea.-Uur readers inay re miember that on the' arrival in our.porto0 tiieship (ceole, Capt, Dillingham, from Bordeaux, we mentionred that a wonutL S-had b~een assassinated at sea by one of the deekr parpengers, that 'the murderer bat -been'irrested, on ain affidavit of the Cap. - tain. .T'hist affair ulidor went examinariot: -esterday before tecorder'G(enois.

An Accomplished Thief.-One' of our merchams was recenly relieved of several articles of his goods et 'a.. little' less-".han "cost and charges," by as' 9h'rewd and well liyed piece of accomplished'villany as we: have feceptly heard of. "-The-thein entered the merehant's store, and. repre sented and introiluced.himself to be a gen tleman whom. the. merchant had.-tieen ex pecting from the countrj for several days, to'purchase.goods;' haviug received a let ter from a friend informing him that his neighbor would .visit Memphis soon, to ptchasehis plantatiot.supplies, and on dorsiug'forbhis responsibility, :told himh he would be a valuable. ustomer, therogue represented thimself' as; Mr. - -The .merchant of course had ~no, cause of suspi cion, and Mr.- thief .was' bowed to and treated as merchants generally do such thinks, was shown all sorts of .goods -in less thain no *time, and was extremely careful to buy. cheap, and spaingly, Which better enabled him. to carry. on his vjlaiuy. .A 'ine piece of cloth being shown him--O no," said he, "I just want something to knock about the'-plantation in;. don't want anything fine.": And 'so he purchased a-pretty slarge bill. The merchant thinking he had so rich a custo= mer,'and withal so prudent 'a buyer, be thought-himself of an extra 'six-barralled patent pistol so -show him as a curiosity. It caught the eye and" fancy of the plain planter amazingly; it was exactly the thing he had been looking for, having, as he said. a difficulty on hand with a neigh. bor, which might prove to be a-very tra gical one. I am sorry it is out of order, said the merchant, but I will send it out and have it fixed in a few moments. -Don't put yourself to that trouble," re plied our accommodating hero, I am going right past-the very door, and will 'take it myself ; and,.as it rains, Igmight as well slip on the overcoit, and take the um brella; be so-kind as to ,have my 'bill made out by:the time I can step down to Howard's to -ge( the money for a couple of loads of Couon -I this morning sold him; -and as it rains, I'll take the umbrel la also.'

They went to Lawson's house, entered. and 'one of them struck hit with a stick.

They-are universally respected for their piety, uprightness, and general Christian virtues. We believe that Ger manown it somewhat. peculiar in the lon gevity of its worthy inhabitants. May they all live a thousand years. Men and Gentlemen Women and Ladies. -Somebody makes the followviug singular distinctions among tlse several classes of society: "Men are quarried from the liv ing rock-with a thunderbolt. Gentle-nen are iotlded- as the potters' clay, by the dainty fingers of fashion. Women are spontauletus growth of a waran and rich soil, where the wind hloivs freely, and the heart feels-the visitings of God's ever changeable weather. Ladies are the off spring of a hot bed-the growth of a green house; tended and 'atchedt, lest the winds of heaven may visit Their faces too roughly till they are good for nothing as woman at any rate as wives or as mothers." Almost Perpetual Motton.-We copied a paragtaph recently describing a 12 month clock exhibited at the Fairof the New York Institute, ibe invention of a Mr. Crane. We possess .a townsman whose powers of invention in thi- line of Art, far surpass. es the ingenuity of Mr. Crane. Francis Stein, Clock and Watch maker, in meeting street. opposite the United States Court House had ntantufactured in Charleston only a year ago, a Clock, that ran for one yar without winding up; this Clock was its own petndulumi and gave on its face, thte timtes at London, P.ar ris and Chariestoti, it was rallied out for sixty chatnces at live dollars each, and is now in Ettgland.. Mr. Stein is working at present - t clock which is moved by a spring and e also lbe propelled lby weight' ~it has only four wheels, and its mechanismn -is very simple ; it tmakes only 4 3 4 evo lutions (luring the termt of 10 years, andl it need nbot be wountd 01) int that ti.ne.-M r. Stein avers that if he puts an addbitional wheel into this clock, with one hundredl !eeth,' it wvill go one-hitndredl years with tein woundl up,~atnd nevertheless the hewhonle Clock n ants nitly five lbs. weight to he kept going. MIr. Stein will have a ~clock of thte aboveo description ready in fotur mnonths timne, and will theti give all friends of curious mnechsanismn an opportu tit; 'o judge for themselves.

We once more call the attention of our die tant Delinquent Subscribers to a settlement of their accounts, some ofwhinh has been forward ed them six months ago, and of which there has been no imore nonce taken, than .if they were blank paper. The troubles and cares o a proprietor of a newspaper is bad enongh a the best, but to he weekly catering for a num. ber of subscribers hundreds of miles distant from him, who must know his want of the needful, and who i-efnses to forward theiryearly stipend, knowing, on account of the smallness of the demand. the difliculty of collecting it, is not only hard, but shows a disposition on the part of the subscriber to act dishonest. After havingwaited so long, and not wishing to act rashly towards any of our patrons, we will now inform them, that all those who have received their .ccounts from this office, during the past spring and sumner, by mail, and have never attended to answering them, that those which remain unanswered on the lot day of February next, will have their names erased from our list, and placed upon a black list which we in tend publishing monthly. 0 The Hon.

In the first place I voted for the law s a member of the Legislature, and, of course, believed it constitutional. In the second I was employed by the South Carolina Association twenty years ago to maintain its validity in the ease of an English negro and did so upon rounds which have now become deeply inter esting. as the question Is once more agitated. As this argument was printed twenty yeats ago, it is no way effected by an appointment to which my previous assent was notsought. and which I have not accepted; and I now request its re-publication, both as conclusive reason foi declining any communication from abroad, and a defence such as it is of the propriety and cotitutionality of the faw of the State.

Bridge Tolls.-We see by a resolution of the City Council of Angusta, Ga., that the reduction in the rates of toll over the Bridge, has produced a serious diminu tion in the revenue derived from the Bridge. They have therefore resolved, that from and after the 1st day of Decem ber next, the tolls for passing the bridge be restored to the rates which were in force on the first Jay of September last with the exeeptiou of toll for foot passen) gers, which is to retmatt at two cents from day-lighit until 9 o'clock P.
