Departure of Missionaries. --A scene of unusual interest took place on Commercial wharf this morning, on the occasion of the departure of two bands of Missionaries, on the fine ship Sea King, for Madras and Calcutta. For the Ceylon Mission, under the care of the American Board, there were Nathan Ward, M. D., and wife, Rev. John C. Smith and wife, Rev. J. A. Bates; and for the Methodist Mission in India, under the patronage of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Rev. Mr. Jackson and wife, Rev. Mr. Hauser. A very large congregation of their friends, and others interested in the missions, assembled to see them off. Religious services were held on board, which were conducted by Bishop Baker. After the ship left the wharf the audience on shore joined in singing the missionary hymn.-- Boston Journal,30th.

Voters, attention --The question is asked, "On whom shall we unite?" We should unite upon some man who we unite?" We should unite upon some man who is a true son of the Union; some man who, while he has maintained all of our rights, has respected and conceded the rights of other sections; some man who, like Washington and Jackson, has regarded the union of these States as embracing their liberty, their glory, their peace and their Happiness. And such a man is John Bell. Unite upon him and you may have a United South, a United North, a United east. a United West. Union men, unite on John Bell." no 3--1t

General Jackson's wife — her last hours — her tomb. The new volume of Mr. Parton's "Life of Andrew Jackson," has the following account of the death of the General's wife: On Monday evening, the evening before the twenty-third, her disease appeared to take a decided turn for the better, and she then so earnestly entreated the General to prepare for the fatigues of to-morrow by having a night of undisturbed sleep, that he consented at last to go into an adjoining room and lie down on the sofa. The doctor was still in the house. Hanash and George were to sit up with their mistress. At nine o'clock the General bade her good night, went into the next room, and took off his coat preparatory to lying down. He had been gone about five minutes; Mrs. Jackson was then, for the first time, removed from her bed that it might be re-arranged for the night. While sitting in a chair, supported in the arms of Hanush, she uttered a long, lond, Inarticulate cry, which was immediately follow

In 1835 pictorial hand-bills, and inflammatory appeals, were circulated extensively throughout the South, of a character to excite the passions of the slaves; and, in the language of General Jackson, "to stimulate them to insurrection, and produce all the horrors of a servile war." This agitation has ever since been continued by the public press, by the proceedings of State and county conventions, and by abolition sermons and lectures. States would be endangered by the Constitution.--The truth is, that it was not until many years after the origin of the Federal Government that such a proposition was first advanced.--It was then met and refuted by the conclusive arguments of Gen. Jackson, who in his message of 16th January, 1833, transmitting the nullifying ordinance of South Carolina to Congress, employs the following language:--"The right of the people of a single State to absolve themselves at will, and without the consent
