As soon as judg ment was. pronounced, Mr. Fauluier, one of the masters of the deaf and dumb institution, addressed the crim inal in the language of signs, and ex plained to him that a superior justice ■ had rendered invalid the first judg ment; but that chains, the galleys, and sufferings, would be the consequence, should he fall anew into error. No thing could be more interesting *and animated than this pantomime; par ticularly when he raised his hand in sign of taking an oath, it became - al- : most affecting; for the young Hue, as if electrified, followed immediately the movement of his master; and in the act of repentance, made a silent promise, heard only by the Being to whom it was addressed, but which the magistrates accepted as an oath; and perhaps it was one of the purest ever offered; at least the countenance of the offender brightened into a sublime expression, as he internally uttered it, as if conscious of the sacredness of the act. The whole scene was a lesson to those gifted with the use of speech, w'lo so often call the Deity as witness to words they never intend to keep.” European Politics.—The Paris Con stitutional, oi Sept. 5th, solves the great problem of European politics by the following summary process:— “The Mediterranean consists of two large lakes, the Black Sea, including the sea of Asoph, and the Mediterra nean, properly so called. The latter is freely traversed by all nations, and is the former to be forever a sort of maritime culde sac., into which nobody can penetrate 1 without the permission of the Grand Turk? Russia will un doubtedly make herself mistress pf both the Asiatic and European shores and open it to the commerce of all na tions. It. is so absurd to expect that it should remain a sort of lake, on which fleets may exercise, without ever coming out of it, that we cannot be surprised that Russia should con tinually use her efforts to alter it.— The difficulty is, to place Constanti nople in the hands of a neutral Power, strong enough to make itself respect ed, and European enough to guaran tee of a free passage to all European nations. The establishment of anoth er Greek Empire seems to me im practicable. In its present state Greece cannot form a power indepen dent of Russia and Austria, and capa ble of resisting the Asiatic Moslems Moreover, the passage of the Dardan elles would no more be free than present. Sooner or later Russia will liave Constantinople, and when that is the case, the passage will be guaran teed; for she has so strong an interest in this, that she will give bounties on foreign trade to attract it to the Black Sea. AH nations do whrit. they an to induce a conflux of foreign vessels in their own ports. Austria, if she wish es to be popular in Europe, should take off Turkey all she can; should extend her narrow seaboard to Alba nia from the Adriatic, and not trouble herself with Italy. Austria may thus keep Russia in check; shiv arid Ger many cart raise a million of soldiers. If Europe were threatened, they would be its advanced guard, and ifit came to blows, France, with her thir ty millions of inhabitants, would sup port them. In the midst of anarchy she conquered the whole Europe with a Constitutional Government which she begins to comprehend ns she enjoys its advantages. She has nothing to fear. Henceforth, playing a noble part, she will one day save that Eu rope she desired to conquer. Jour.

WINNEBAGO INDIANS. On Monday (in N. Y.j there was a grand military parade, Gen. Morton commanding, to give the Indian Chiefs an opportunity to view a specimen of the physical force of the country.— They appeared to he gratified, espe cially wjth the horsemen. An arrange ment was made to have the cannon discharged at the moment the Indians were passing them in the rear without their being apprised of the intention, to|soe what effect it would produce; and- strange as it may seem, they did not move a muscle, or appear to re gard it. At the conclusion of the pa rade the Chiefs assembled at the Gov ernor’s room in the City Hall, where were present the Mayor and other officers of the City Government. Af ter partaking of a simple collation, the Chief Nankaw, (or Wood) addressed the Mayor in a short speech or talk. We have been favored by Col. Kin- gie with the substance of it, as fol lows:— •Father! the chiefs of my nation, now before you, with myself, are very glad to see you. We are glad also to see your peace officers (Alderman, &c.) and your war chiefs (the milita- y officers) around you, and to hold you fast by the hand. We thank the Gretjt Spirit above for giving uS so Icar a sky, to-day to meet you and your young warriors—We thank you for the milk (meaning cider, &c.) and bread which you have helped us to, and we shall keep in our breasts your kindness to us to-dny. So good by.” The Chiefs left the city yesterday morning in the steam-boat for Phila delphia, on their way to the Seat of Government.—/. of Com.. They were found guil/y, and sentenced to be hanged on the/26th of Decem ber next. In the c/se of the Indians imprisoned for the murder of Meth ods and his family,/ near Lake Pepin, in 1824, a nolle prosequi was entered, and the prisoners discharged. Two other Indians imprisoned for firing up on the keel boats on the 30th June, 1827. were also discharged, no bills having been found against them. Indians in Upper Canada.—-A Meth odist Missionary writes from Credit iiiver, under dateof20tii September, 1828, as follows; “The Indians here have now got their tract of land surveyed* and div ided into portions for each family, so that we hope to see them improve more in agriculture next season. They have completed three eornfort- able dwelling houses this year, &. have four more building by individual exer tion,without pecuniary aid|fi omany ope although they are under the necessity of continually exerting theinsewes to obtain the means of subsistence from day to day. Two of them hare raised and harvested five or six acres each of excellent wheat, which is the first fruits of their labour in that kind of grain; and their crops of corn and po tatoes are abundant, according to the quantity of ground cultivated.” or infiiagifitude to the stln himself.— So the comet which in the year 1652, Revilius observed, did not seem less than the moon, though it had not so Wright a splendor” “According to some of the Parisian astronomers, the comet 1833 will approach so near the earth, (within 13,290 leagues) as to raise, by its attraction, the tide of the ocean above the highest mountains in Eu rope.

Corporal Thomas Gloyd and musician Glenn, preceded the party thirty or forty yards; when six miles from,their post, thoSc in the rear heard the report of a gun. followed by the exclamation “O God 1 am killed!” The party know ing that neither Gloyd nor Glenn had a gun, concluded they were attacked by enemies, & returned to the garrison* After stating the facts, a detachment of twenty men was ordered out by Ma jor Burch, under L. Casy, who return ed with the corpses of Gloyd and Glenn, the former being marked with a ball and many arrows, and the lat ter with arrows only. The alarm was given, and the garrison with citizens and friendly Indians, amounting to a- bout forty men, pursued the murder ers, overtook them tb© fourth day en- TI1E TUSCARORAS. The Ttisearoras, it is well known to most of your readers, live within few miles of the great Niagara catar act, and consist of obout forty families, and probably one hundred and fifty souls. They have had a missionary station among them for better than twenty years, being one of the first, that engaged the attention of the New York Missionary Society- The tribe has ever been small since their emi gration from North-Caroiina; and by reason of the evils which have ever befallen the Indian tribes in their cir cumstances, are still, it is to be fear ed, growing less and less. Now, although the missionaries have not been permitted at this station to accomplish all their hearts’ desire a- monz this little community of immor tals. they have still been permitted to rejoice over some souls which have been converted from the error of their ways. They have seen a few hum ble follow ers of Christ for thefce seve ral years adorning their profession; and some they have seen die in the faith, and calmly sleep in Jesus. If they have not been able to banish in temperance,that foul blot upon our own national character, from their village, they have been the instruments of re claiming some from its power, and keeping back others from its conse quent disgrace and ruin, who, but for their warning, would in all probability have Sunken to the lowest pitch of brutal sensuality. A little church of sixteen members still remain, whose orderly walk and conversation, in the main, goes to show that the gospel trumpet has not sounded in vain through their mountain. The missionary teacher, Mr. John Elliot, has an inter- ing School of thirty'children, who have learned to read the word of God in a short time. A very neat and comfort able (djapel has been recently finished principally by the labours and contri butions of the Indians themsplves which is to be consecrated to the worship of God in a veiy few days.— West. Rcc To write a beautiful hand (says the Village Record) is among the elegant accomplishments: to write a plain le gible hand is but decent and respect ful to those who have to read the writing. To scrawl pigeon tracks pot-hook and trammel fashion, tortur ing plain English into heathen Greek, is detestable, and when it can be pre vented, absolutely unpardonable. Power of the Countenance.—One of the Editors of the Youth’s Companion states the following fact, which he re cently witnessed while on a visit at the Hartford Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb:—“Mr. Gallaudct, the Princi pal of the Asylum, remarked that he would endeavor to communicate a dis tinct idea by changes of the countenance, without the use of the arms or fingers, lie would not promise that he should succeed; but he would make the trial. Mr. G. signified to the pupils what, he wished to do, which excited a smile at his novelty. (He told us that the idea was a description of the Judgment of the great Day.) He then folded his arms, stood erect, and, by a most sur prising flexibility of muscles, was en abled to communicate his meaning, so that two of the pupils wrote the sen tence, In the Day of Judgment, all mankind will he assembled, and the righteous and wicked will he separat ed before Christ, the Son of God.’ Dimensions of Noah's Ark.—An aft- cient record say9, the length of the Ark was 104 miles, breadth 17 miles, height 10 miles!—How much larger was it than the top off Mount Arrarat on which it rested ?
