A Makkid Individual.—A scamp Uteiy escaped from the French Police, whose ideas of roguery roust have been an afterthought in his life ; else he would not have taken so much pains to aid the officer* to advertise and identify him The advertisement offering a reward thus de scribes him: “He is tattooed upon his breast with an altar, surmounted by a bust and three columns; ipon the left arm a weeping willow, a dove, a star, an eltar supporting two hearts, over which are two doves, holding a crown, the po'traits of a man and woman, a wheel, two bracelets, two branches of a tree, and a compass; on the left thumb a star, and on the middle fingeraring; on the right arm he has an altar surmounted by a cu| id holding a flag, and over it a death’s head, with the words, Hatred, Vengeance, Death ,- a two portraits, as on the left arm, a wheel a braert let, a heart pierced with two swords, a dagge| and two pistols, A heart pierced with an arroig is tattooed on his 'ight thumb.’’ f Aliases could not benefit this gentleman much; at any rate. The only trouble in identify ing such a chap would be that of reading stub a long list of hieoglyphics by copy. Cooper aoai.v it the Field We underj stand that the distinguished Mi. Fcnnimore Coop er has instituted a suit against Mr. Benjamin, o| . the New World newspaper, fol a libel, laying hif| damages at >SOOO. It is surprising to what art immense extent the novelist’s character has beens damaged, if we may take his own word far it? If he can only realize from all his suits, he mayi abandon novel writing, and live en grannd stg-\ near at his seat at Cooperstown, contemplating! his ancestral cabbage garden. The objectionable* matter, we suppose, was contained in a review off the novelist’s last publication, the name of which, does not now occur to us. We believe' that it| was a work of fiction, of some fashion, but its| precise character lias quite escaped our recollec-| tion.—A*. Y. Cour. Sf Enquirer. | • } Interesting Incidents.— On the 19th off April, 1775, Captain Isaac Davis, of Massachu-I setts, was killed by the British at Concord. The first American officer that fell in the war of the ' Revolution. 5 On the 11th of May, 1775, information of that memorable event was sent by express, from Georgetown, S. C. by Paul Trapier, S. Wragg, ; P. Trapier, jr. and Anthony Banneau, to the I committee of intelligence, in Charleston, to the i care of Win. Henry Drayton, esq. On the 11th of May, 1840, sixty-five years | thereafter, the Hon. Mr. Preston, of South Caro- i hna, advocated with great power and eloquence, in the Senate of the U. S. the granting of a pen •ion to the widow of Captain Davis, then in the 94th year of her age—and Mr. Calhoun opposed it. Granted, 31 to 9.— N. Y. Express. Curious Custom.—When Poland was a kingdom, some of its laws and customs were odd enough. When any person was convicted i ot having slandered, another, he was obliged in open court to prostrate himself on the ground, lying between the extended logs of the party whom he had unjustly accused, and there to con* fess. with a loud voice, that in publishing or as serting what he had asserted against him, he had Led like a dog ! and then at three several and distinct limes, tn hark as loud as he could, after the fashion of the animal he had just mentioned' A Mirror of Beauty.—Queen Elizabeth, admiring the elegance of the Marquis Villade Medina, a Spanish nobleman, complitnenler him on it, begging at the same time, to know who possessed the heart of so accomplished a cavalier! ** Madam,’ said he, “a lover risks l.vo much on such an occasion; but your maje>ty’s will is law. Excuse me, however, if I fear to name her; but request your majesty’s acceptance ol her portrait.” He sent her a looking glass. COMMERCIAL.

FYMHE djties of this Institution,under the direc- JL tion of Dr. Elias Marks and Rev. Well ington H. Tyler, will be resumed on the first October ensuing. Twenty-two years of past service is the p'edge which one 0 the above-named individuals offers, for that which is forthcoming. He is enabled, from personal acquaintance, to testify as to 'he superior qualifications of Mr. T. The following, among other testimonials, are offered : “i*Jr. Wellington 11. Tyler is a graduate of this College After taking his first degree, he went to Kentucky, where he proved himself to be an able and faithful teacher of youth. Being invited to take a tutorship here, he returned and discharged the duties of hi* office with great credit to himself and advantage to the Institution. Since then, he has studied Theology in the Andover Seminary, and is now a very acceptable preacher of the Gos pel. It affords me great pleasure to recommend him to the public, as a man of high moral and Christian character, and peifectly well qualified to take charge of any Academy or High School, where his services may be wanted. H Humphrey, Pres. Amherst College, Sept. 16, 1839.” “Amherst College, Sept. 20, 1839. This may certify, That the subscriber is well acquainted with the Rev. Wellington 11. Tyler, having known him as a member of this College, of which he is an alumnus, and afterwards as a Tutor in the College, and since a? a licensed preacher resident in this place ; and 1 take great pleasure in recommending him to the public confidence as a Christian and a minister, and also as a scholar and gentleman, highly qualified by his abilities, attain ments, and general character, to superintend the instruction of youth of either sex in ary of our literary institutions. N. W.Fiske Prof Int. and Mor. Phi’y.” Mrs. T is amply recommended by the Principals of the Troy Female Seminary, and also by Profs. Yates of Union College, and Joslin of the New York University. The Principals of the Institute, in the discharge of the highly responsible duties which will devolve upon them, will aim at practical results, and at tempt rather to qualify those submitted to their care for the duties of real life, than to gain for them the admiration too often bestowed upon »-r --raticgenius and fanciful attainments. The former requires the symmetrical developtment of all the faculties which make up the mental and moral constitutions, and, under no circumstances of future life, will it leave the pupil in the coimition of a traveller, who should receive for his guidance a map of a different country from that in which he is lo travel. They will aim at permanent results. The pow er and the habit of reasoning are worth more than any number of the result- of otheis’ reasonii g; the love 01 knowledge and a mind well disciplined and directed for future acquisitions, are a greater blessing than any amount of knowledge without such guaranties for its perpetuity and increase, as a living fountain is worth more than a stagnant reservoir of however great dimensions. They will aim, in short, at combining, in the highest practicable degree, the advantages of home • education with those which, in the general, can only be enjoyed abroad, where many are brought togetherlor the same object at concentrating the endearments of home,iis social sentiments and its proprieties of file—for the improvement and the enjoyment of those who may thus be removed from the danger of being injuriously involved in fash ionable dissipation, or being too early occupied I with distracting domestic cares and avocations. It will be percc.ved that the new arrangement loaves the identity of the Institute untouched. It • will he the same in its objects and aims—the same in its internal arrangements, in its religious aspects and in the sentiments of its conductors, as they regard the domestic institutions of the South.— Hence the propriety of omitting here much that must otherwise have been detailed at large, res pecting our arrangements and the advantages of them —matters, which have already and repeatedly , been submitted to the notice of the public, and as it would seem, met their approbation. The regular Terra of the institute consists of nine months, commencing on the Ist of October, and terminating on the last day cf June. Term divided into tu o Sessions.of four and a half months each. Second Session commences on the second Monday in February, terminating on the last day of June. It is every way desirable that pupils should enter , at the commencement of the Term ; they will however, be received a) any period *f the Tern/ and charged only for the unexpired portion of the Term. The Institution will be open five days of the - week, during the hours of recitation, from 6 a m. . to 5 p m. to the inspection of patrons and those interested in the cause of Female Education. No expenditures will be made for pupils, for books, stationary, postage, and necessary articles such as shoes, &c. unless an advance is made in deposite, for the same. All letters to Principals must be post-paid. We recommend to patrons and others to post-pay their letters, addressed to the inmates of the In stitute, in order to anticipate errors of double post age upon the part of Postmasters. TERMS.

PEDIGREE. J. R. H. Acklin, Esq. of Huntsville, Alabama, certifies as follows : —“ Tom Tunstall was foaled mine on the 29th May, 1831. His dam was High land Mary .and her dam a full-blooded Archie mare; tne sire of Highland Mary was old PacoleG Tom Tunstall was sired by old Pacific, and he by old Sir Archie. This is as far as lam able to go, tho’ I am satisfied Tom Tunstall has descended from as good a stock as any horse in the United States. — He was a race horse of the first order, but I tear will never be able to make a first rate race again, owing to his leg; it was injured when a three year old, in training, as I believe. By addressing Har dy Cbyer, Gallatin, Tennessee,you can get a full pedigree of the dam of Tom Tunstall.” The same Mr. Hardy Cryer certifies thus: —“ Highland Mary combined as many or more rich crosses of thorougn breds than any maie ever raised in Tennessee.— She was got by the noted horse Pacolet, the son of imported Citizen ; her dam Rosey Carey by Sir ' Archie ; grand-dam Saily Jones by the imported horse Traveller, called Big Ben or Charlemaine, 1 (son of O’Kellex’s Eclipse, and one of the purest ; importations of the last century;) great grand-dam by the imported horse Wrangler;great-great-grand- ( dam O’Possum by imported Shark; great-great great-grand-dam by the celebrated American quar tet race horse, Goode’s old Twigg; great-great- , great-great-grand-dam by imported Fearnaught; j great-great-great-great-great-grand-dam by Lee’s { old Mark Anthony out of a mare by imported Mon key.” On the sire’s side it is deemed unnecessary s to trace beyond Sir Archie.
