All the writer had to do was to pay the postage 1 1 New York, and it was duly irans. nutted to Europe by the first packet. This ar rangement has been changed, so far at regards the transmission of letters by the steam ships.— The postage must not only bo paid to Now York in advance, but to Europe in advance, at the rate of twenty-live cents for each envelope, before they will bo taken. This was a serious incon venience to many persons, who vvish.d to corres pond with their friends in Eurapc. inasmuch as many have no acquaintances in New York in whom they could confide, tc attend to the trims,, mission of a communication This inconveni ence early claimed the attention of a number of the postmasters, ami application was made by the postmaster of Philadelphia to the Postmaster General, for instructions in the premises, as to whether postmasters might receive both posta ges, &c. &c.

Ghatitudk.—What Ameiiean can read, with out deep emotion, the following anecdote from Stephens’ “Incidents of Travel in Greece, &c.” “At Kalainaki, while walking along the shore, a Greek vvho.spoko the lingua Pianca came from on board one of tho little caiques, and, when he learned that I was tin American, described to me the scene that had taken place on that beach upon the arrival of provisions from America; when thousands of miserable beings who had lied from the blaze of their dwellings, and lived for months upon plants and roots; gray headed men, mothers with infants at their breasts, ema cia cd with hunger and almost frantic with des pair. came down from their mountain retreats lo receive the welcome relief. He might tvcll re member the scene, far lie had been one of tho starving people; and be took me to his house, and showed me his wife and lour children, now neatly ail grown, telling me that they had all hecn rescued from death hy the generosity of my countrymen. Ido not know why, hut in those countries it did not seem unmanly for a bearded and whiskered man to weep; 1 fell any thing but contempt for him when, with his heart overflowing and his eyes filled with tears, lie told me, when I returned home, to say to my country men that I had seen and talked with a recipient of their bounty; and though tho Greeks might never repay us, they could never forget what wo had done lor them. I remembered the excite ment in our country in their behalf, in colleges and schools, from the grey bearded Senator to the prat ling school boy, and reflected that, per haps, my mite, cast can lessly upon the waters, had saved from the extremity of misery this grateful family. I wished that the cold-blooded prudence which would have checked our honest enthusiasm in favor of a people, under calamities and horrors, worse than ever fell to the lot of man struggling to lie free, could have listened to the gratitude nf tins Greek family. With deep interest I bade them farewell, and telling my guide to follow with my horse, walked over to tho foot of the mountain,” Neglecting the Antkctant.vr.—Some very whimsical instances of this occur continually, es pccially in the answers of witnesses, when given literally as they speak.

It is extracted bom the otfi. cial record, which is directed to bo transmitted it) the Executive by tlio Courts of Oyer and Terminer.—lt is a wise and humane provis ion of our criminal law. Tim slaves, not hav ing the benelif of atria. l y J my, nor beforo the judges of Ihe General Conn; but as they are tried before the Magistrates of tlio County Couits, who.-e sentence for good or for ill is conclusive, it was thought proper and humane to transmit the record of the trial to the Ex ecutive of tlio Commonwealth —who might, if they saw Id, interpose their province of mercy to reprieve, to pardon, or to commute tlio sentence of demit into transportation, (as, is frequently the case.) ilut, in the present instance, the record is so dark, and bloody, that no effort has been made to soften the sen tence —and there is no prospect of the Execu tive interfering to change the decision of the Court. The Court of Oyer ami Terminer was hold in the county of Ca'h, on the 22ml August, for the trial of Andrew, Lucindaund Caroline, slaves belonging to George Mayse, E q., who were charged with the murder of Margaret and Mary Mayse, the daughters of Mr. Mayse, Nino Magistrates on the Bench. The to lowing evidence was introduced in behalf of the Prosecution:—Caroline, the slave of Mr. Mayso. testified, that on (lie 10th of August, iho two prisoners (Andrew and Lucinda) told her they would show her a good blackberry patch that evening, and La-- cinda told Lor she must bring Mary and Mar garet Mayse with her, and she would slio.v them the blackberries. Whilst on her way to meet the children returning from school/ she (Caroline) met with Andrew, who told her to make haste and bring the children up to the Big Gate, and he would'show them the black berries. She went on and met the children, and took them on with her, up a short distance from the gate; a route different from that on which they had usually relumed from school. They met with Andrew and Lucinda—An drew leaning against the fence on the nide next the road, and Lucinda standing near him. The witness then asked Andrew, where the lackberry pa'cii was. Me made no reply, but seized Mary, and Lucinda, coming up, and tools hold of Mary by the head, and stood be hind her, whilst Andrew stood on one side and cut her throat with a newlooking shoe* knife. The poor little girl staggered around and fell down—whereupon the other little girl Margaret started to run, but Andrew soon caught her and brought her hack—and Lu cinda hold her, whilst Andrew cut her throat in like manner. After the murders, the pri soners got over.tho fence into the bushes— while the witness ran towards the house; hut becoming exhausted, she vvaa comp?!!?'.! 1n slop, and Andrew passed her, with Ifs shirt j sleeves rolled up, ami went on to the well on the opposite side of the yard, and washed his hands and arms. The witness declared that she was prevented, by' her fears of being mur dered herself, from disclosing tlio event to her mistress immediately upon getting to the house. Lucinda is her mother, and told hor she would be hung ifslic told anything about it. Miss Mary Jane Piornoy, another witness in behalf of the Commonwealth, stated that the little girls were let out of school nt her father's house about 5 o’clock on the evening of the 10. h of August—that, upon taking a long walk soon after, and returning to her fa ther’:-yard, she saw Lucinda and a black boy together approaching leisurely in the direction of her father’s house; Lucinda inquired it the little girls were there, and stated that they had no! got home; ami her mistress had be come uneasy about them. The Witness then with olhcrs went in search of the children— and Lucinda suggested that they might have been drowned in crossing the run. The wit ness replied that it was not deep enough. Lu cinda insis’td that it. was, and that Miss P.’s brother could go down to see. On geng along the road, they discovered tlio Hacks of the children towards the gate, and Caroline led the way, saying that they might he at the Blackberry patch. Caroline went on, until si e got to the gale, and began to look aboe*. and soon pointed out the children lying on the road side, a little beyond the gate—and ex claimed, ‘ There they ho, dead” Warwick Plotney confirmed his sister’s statements. Miss Hurah M’Elvco, who took the usual road t he children went, in search of them, also gave in her testimony, which wus not very relevant. Mrs. Eleanor Ptomey joined tiia hu rt for the ciiiiJretl, and made similar statements. Mrs. Sarah Mayge, liic mother of the c’j’’- drnn, also gave in her testimony. She stated, that Mary was in her eighth year, and Marga ret in her seventh. Early in the day, Lucin da asked leave of her to go for blackberries.— Some lime it: the afternoon she asked Lucin da if she intended to go ; but L. ra d she would wait until the children returned from school, and she would take them along with her, and | the witness refused to let them go for fear of accidents. In the course of the evening she was struck with the singular countenance of the woman, ns she held her pan of blackber ries. and inquired what was the matter with her] The woman gave no immediate answer, but turned towards the door, where she stop ped, and remarked that site was waiting for the pan. Mrs. M. gave other statements of facts, which it is not necessary to recapitulate. (It appears, that during the perpetration of th ■ murder, the girl Cnro ine had an infant child of Mr. Mayse in her arms, fjiic (Mrs M) stated, in the course of her examination, that the prisoners were both incensed against tLo,r master, and both ol thorn had made threats.— Lucinda declared that neither her master nor any other man should ever whip her—if they did, there would ho murder committed, for she would as soon die one death as another. A few days before the murder, Lucinda’s mas ter had attempted to wh j) her, hut she got away from him. Andrew also made threats, and said he would do something lo make Ids mae’ersill him, for ho would not live with him. Mr. M. had, a lew days before (he mur der, bought him a now cowhide, and placed it so they might see it, in order lo alarm thru:-;, and nuke them heller, but ho had not used it.

It appears from all accounts, that the fnini ly liad been very indulgent towards the slaves —that the want ot authority operated upon suck two malignant ami reckless spirits, so as to produce the perpetration of two of the most cold-blooded and atrocious murders which the present day has produced It thrills the blood of every humane person, to see two such ten der am! helpless imi-ccnts fall victims to the demon-like passions of two such fiends. From Historical Xh'tchcs of Old Paint,‘is. Lumai .lo d:i Vinci.—The East Supper. One day, when the Passion Week had just begun, was walking in llio beauti ful gardens near Milan. ilia mind was port, dering on the subject of his painting. The spring had already awaked tiie young blos soms from their winter’s sleep, and the trees and hedges were crowned with the fresh fol iage of the season. “I will paint the scene sacred to onr Lc-d !” lie exclaimed--''his last supper witi) Ins disciples. Would that my pencil were equal to the subject !” The sun wu ; just setting as ho returned home, bin mind filled with the vastness of the project. Unconsciously, ho arrived at ilic cloister ofthe Dominicans: the pealing tones of the organ si ruck upon Ids ear, while the lof ty roof of tho church resounded with the chain of the monks. The solemn sound had stilled i the tumult of h:n breast,and h s heart was till- i cf! v -•!> irp pile ami deeply roll gone emotions.) I »()li, tluni,” he cried, ‘who so? 'ho r* nH ) of the human nature, which is so sinful and j passionate in me, how shall my feeble hand j portray Iby glory ! Plow shall 1 pa nt Uni! sorrowful night when the apostles gathered around I hoe !” As ho dw ht on the subject, it gradually ex panded to his mind; lie behold Ihe long table, and Ihe Saviour m ihe midst of).is disciples— the last rays of evening shiningon his head— a mild radiance beaming from his eyes, when he exclaimed,‘’Verily 1 say unto you, one of yon shall betray me.” And with what beauty did the group spr ng to light under the petted inspired by su h emu lion ! How fresh, and yet how soft the col oring ! But it was indeed an arduous task. — Spring hud conic round, and two of tho heads yet remained unfinished—the Saviour’s and that of Judas—the one because his soul trem bled to approach it—the oilier because the beautiful purity of Ids own spirit shrank in horror from the task of per! ray mg lily such a visage. in vain Lionanlo sat. before Ids easel, with his pencil in his hand, and prayed for divine inspiration to paint the .Saviour of the world. His touch was cold and formal. Where was the heavenly benevolence (hat irradiated his sac pitying forgiveness toward the apos tle who ho knew would deny him —the glance of divine sorrow, unmixed with auger, winch he cast upon Ins betrayer l And tho contrast of the traitor, how was he ever to portray it worthily I The last week arrived, and the heads were yet unfinished. ‘‘.Dust thou know llio conditions ?** exclaim ed the exuding monk —‘ success or death ;so said the duke, and his word is never recalled,” “I know them well,” replied Leonardo, in a despairing tone. “Then hasten on Ihy work ” said the dotn inican. “Is life so worthiest* that thou const not afford a daub of thy brush to sae ill— As well might the mighty discovery of paint ing have slumbered if it will not do theu this sludil service. Home, lend mo thy brush—to morrow is the day—l will furnish I hue with a head, and perhaps it may save thine own,” fistoning upon him a searching glance, with a flashing expression ol conscious power and ■ triumph. ‘•Ha.'” exclaimed Lionardo, “! lliank tlicc, ' good sir prior, for this last offer —thou hast indeed inspired me.” Ho hastened to the refectory, closed and secure d the door, and through the rest of that day, and the whole .solitude of that last night, ■ sat almost without intermission at, the glori ' ons work which Ims immortalized him. Tho head of Judas was completed buloro the shades of night came on ; but that, of the Saviour still remained. There was the beautiful rnai— tho locks parted on the forehead—but all else of llio face was a blank. He felt ihe task be. yoml his power! vet Ins generous spirit would not profane his own idem, nor degrade h:s art, • by an unworthy |:orfoniianc".

Now ; indeed, the work was noon d mpletul. The next morning Lionardo did not make Ins appearance, nor was any reply returned to llie applications (,l the prior at the door. It was the day on which the picture was to bo cxiiiblled, and his remorseless enemy exulted in the belief that, in bis despair, he had sought the (ate of the dud ;s he had lound himself in competent to depict. At length the hour arrived, and the Duke Sfor/a, accompanied by the principal nobility <d Millan, proceeded in state to the Domini can monastery, and gave orders that the rebec lory should bo thrown open. The picture, which was upon the wall at one end, was con cc:»k (l by a curtain; and the artist stood with Ins eyes cast down, and an expression of deep dejection. There was a confused murmur of voices. Curiosity and eager expectation were expressed in every countenance hut that of the prior’,-; on his sat triumphant revenge; (lie picture, he was confident, was unfinished in the most important figures, as he had him sell seen it so on the preceding day. “l.ct the curtain he withdrawn,”’ said the duke. Lionardo moved not—the deep emotion of the artist rendered him poweiJess. The dominican, unable to comprehend such feelings, was confirmed in the belief that the " ilhdravving of’lhe < in-lain would be the death warrant of I Jonardo; he hastily seized the titling, and by a sudden pull Ihc’ciirtnin open ed, and the List Supper of Lionardo da Vinci stood revealed to llie world. >,’ola sound iaru few moments broke (he ' 1 11 ' ,?s 'bat prevailed; at length murmurs ot applause were heard, increasing, as the infill cnce of the glorious work Idl fuller upon (he enlhiisiastick minds of the Ilalians, to raptures, she duke arose and stood before l.ioimrdo. ‘‘Well, noble Florentine, bast limit atoned for thy fault; 1 am proud to forgive I lice all.

Hut why, holy father,” said be to (he prior, who still stood motionless and pale, before the picture—“why stand you speechless there—see you not how nobly be has redeemed bis pledge?” All eyes were turned upon the dominican— then to the figure of .Indus. Suddenly they exclaimed with one voice, “It is be! it is he!” The brothers and monks of the cloister, who detested the prior, repeated—‘‘Yes, it is he—the Judas Iscariot who betrayed bis mas ter!” A her the first surprise was over, suppressed laughter was heard. Bale with rage, the do ininicaii retreated behind the crowd, and made bis escape to bis cell, with the emotions of a demon (pulled before the radiant power of an angel’s divinity, ami the reflection Unit henceforth he must go down to posterity as a second Judas! r l he resemblance was perfect. And where now was Lionardo da Vinci—he who stood conspicuous among the nobles of die land—he whose might of genius had cast high birth and worldly honours into obscurity? Wow, surely, was the hour of his triumph! Alas, no! he stood humbled and depressed; bitter tears bedewed bis cheeks; and when the cry was repealed again and again, “It is die prior!” lie hastily (putted the presence of the duke, and in die soliiiot- ..*• i.i. ■.».* 1 mem, m> itUkucuM, in an agony of repentance, 1 “O Andrea, my mastei !” lie exclaimed, “how I have I sinned against thy memory, our art, land my own soul!

All (locked to sec it, and his renown was at its zenith, lie shunned the applause, and in a humble spirit devoted himself to the pursuit of a nobler triumph than lie hadalready achiev ed—the triumph over himself. This is the history of that celebrated paint ing, the l.ast Supper of Lionardo da Vinci, which is familiar to all, from the innumerable copies distributed through every civilized country, by the pencil ami the burin.
