A Hew Advertisement,
A New Year, and a New Inducement, for sub
scribing to the Weekly Messenger !
THE cheapest and decidedly the most pop
ular Family Newspaper in the U Slates,
with a circulation of many thousand subscrib
ers The American Wf.f.ki.y Messenger is
published every Wednesday, on beautiful white
paper, of the largest class, at s'2 per annum, or
ten subscriptions for $lO.
Its contents are adapted to the wants of the ]
Farmer, Mechanic, Tradesman, Agriculturist j
Merchant and Manufacturer.
This Journal was commenced on the first of j
January last, and, without any previous effort j
to herald its success, went into immediate and !
rapid circulation. Such was the unprecedent-1
ed popularity which attended its projection !
that, in about six months from the period it
was first issued, not less than fifteen thousand
names were embraced on its subscription lists',
which have been ever since constantly and
rapidly increasing, and now bid fair to super
cede in extent and stability every other pub
lication which hasexisted in the literary world.
It is generally conceded that the contents of]
the Messenger embraces as much origimul •
matter as any other periodical of the present '
day. The diffusion of useful and wholesome
iniormation, with a view to the cultivation of a
correct knowledge of Polite Literature, is the
chief object at which it aims. Arrangements
have been entered into, by which the publish
er will be assisted in the editorial department
by the talents of three or four gentlemen of j
distinguished abilities—and it is intended to
introduce several important improvements,
which will bespeak additional popularity for
its columns.
As the character and leading features of this j
Journal are well known throughout the United
States, it will be superfluous to enter into a ,
recital ot the same. The season is approach- j
ing, however, when the reading public are ex-,
pccted to make their selections for the nextl
year, and we deem it advisable, therefore, to
furnish a brief and explicit statement of our
4erms, which we hope will prove satisfactory,!
and be implicitly observed :
A ten dollar bill,forwarded by mail, postage j
paid, will pay for ten copies of the Messenger i
for one year ! A five dollar bill, forwarded by j
mail, postage paid, will pay for four copies for \
one year ! Two dollars, paid in advance, is .
the price of an individual subscription for one j
year One dollar, in advance , will pay for a j
single subscription for six months only.
A five dollar note will pay one year's sub-1
scription to the Weekly Messenger and also ,

The human mind—that lofty thing!
The palace and the throne,
Where reason sits, a sceptered kino-,

Oh ! who with silent step shall trace
Tlie borders of that haunted place,
Nor in his weakness own
That mystery and marvel bind
That lofty thing—the human mind!

The human heart—that restless thing!
The tempter and the tried;
The joyous, yet the suffering—
The source of pain and pride;

The seat of love, the lair of hate—
Self-stung, self-deified !
Yet do we bless thee as thou art,
Thou restless thing—the human heart!

The human soul—that startling thing!
Mysterious and sublime !
The angel sleeping on the wing
Worn by the scoffs of time—
The beautiful, the veiled, the bound,
The earth enslaved, the glory-crowned,
The stricken in its prime !
* From heaven in tears to earth it stole,
That startling thing—the human soul!

And this is man—Oh ! ask of him,
The gifted and forgiven—
While o’er his vision, drear and dim,
The wrecks of time are driven;
If pride or passion in their power,
Can chain the tide or charm the hour,
Or stand in place of heaven?
He bends the brow, he bows the knee—

How to make a Newspaper popular.
A few years after the commencement of the
Columbian Centinel in Boston, Mr. Russell, its
editor and publisher, finding that the profits
arising therefrom were not sufficient to defray
his expenses, applied to Mr. Barrell (one of
the most popular merchants of his time,) for
advice as to the course he had best pursue in
the very unpleasant which he was
placed. He informed Mr. B. of the particulars
of his situation in his usual plain, honest man
ner, saying that his expenses were so much on
the increase, and his profits so small, that, he
thought he should be obliged to give up his
paper and seek his fortune elsew here. Mr.
Barrell immediately remarked, that his (Mr.
R’s) case was not so desperate as he imagined
it to be, and recommended him to lash some of
the most powerful characters of the day in the
most severe terms in his columns, which
course he felt sure would not only bring his
paper into more notice than it then was, but
greatly add to his subscription list and
increase the patronage of advertisers. Mr.
Russell replied that such a course would be
repugnant to his feelings, but as ho had al
ways considered Mr. Barrell as a warm friend,
and a man of superior judgment, he would
take his advice into serious consideration. On
the morning of the next publication of the
Centinel, when Mr Barrell went into State
street, he observed almost every one with eyes
and mouths wide open, as if he was a monster
in human shape; and could not solve the mys
tery of their looks until a gentleman asked
him why Mr. Russell had lashed him so un
mercifully in his paper of that day? Mr. B.
at once stepped into an insurance office—read
the paper—and as he progressed in the article
| about himself, he waxed warmer and warmer,
till at length, in a high dudgeon, he found his
way to the Centinel office, when he demanded
of the editor in round set terms, why he had
treated him so infamously. M*t Russell repli
ed, that as Mr. B. appeared agitated, he had
better be seated until he became cool and col
lected, and then he would satisfy him to his
heart’s content. After looking to the affairs of
the office, Mr. Russell appeared before Mr.
Barrell with a low bow, and offered the follow
ing explanation: “Sir, you well know that I
have ever esteemed you to be my most valued
friend, and in whose good judgment I have ev
er had the most implicit confidence—for in my
! utmost need, I applied to you for advice, which
j you cheerfully gave to me. At that time it is
true, that the course which you marked out for
| me, was repugnant to my feelings, but after
J mature deliberation, I was satisfied that it
would have the desired effect, and determined
]to pursue it. Then I had to select a subject,
! after looking around among our townsmen, I
I could not find one whose unexceptionable
‘character, exalted standing and extensive tise
-1 fulness, were equal to your own. I therefore
1 selected you as the first object of attack, If a
i man cannot take a liberty with a friend, w ith
! whom the devil can he?”
The above recipe for making a newspajver
profitable, by scurrilously abusing its best
friends, may be very successful in Boston.
But we are informed that it is in no wise
adapted to these more Southern latitudes, and
that, in the instance of a Darien newspaper, it
proved most signally unsuccessful.

The following is related of Sir Colin Camp
bell, by an English paper:
Sir Colin Campbell. —About six weeks
before the battle of Assaye, General Wellesley
thought it necessary to obtain javssession of
an important fort, named Aiimednugger. It
wus taken by a most gallant escalade; in the
i thick of the assult General Wellesley saw a
young officer, who had reached the top of the
; “very |ofty wall,” thrust off by the enemy, and
; falling through the air from a great height.
| Gen. Wellesley had little doubt that he must
[ have been severely wounded, if not killed by
[ the fall; but hastened to enquire the name and
| fate of the gallant young fellow, and had the
' satisfaction of seeing him in a moment after,
comparatively little injured, again mounting to
the assault. Next morning the General sent
for him, offered to attach him to his staff as
brigade major, and from that hour, through all
his fields and fortunes, even to the conquest of
Paris, continued him, in his personal family and
friendship, and used sometimes to say that the
first time he had ever seen him was in the air:
that young officer is now Sir Colin Campbell,
knight commander of the Bath, a Major Gen
eral in the army, and Governor of Nova Scotia
PIRACY AND MURDER.
[From a letter by the Great Western.]
‘‘The coppered brig Braganza, from
Philadelphia, Capt. Jolly,’or Fnrly, left
Philadelphia on the Bth of July last, with
a cargo of sugar and logwood, bound for
Genoa. About three weeks afterward,
when the vessel was in the Atlantic, a
mutiny was raised by a part of the crew,
being four of the sailors arrived here, viz:
Cornelius Willems (surnamed Wilhelm
Hamburger,) from Holstein; John Adams
(who hung himself in prison the day on
which he was arrested;) Joseph Verbrug
gen, from Belgium; Hans Kundoen, from
Schleswig; the fifth James'Danveys, from
Aberavon, Glamorganshire, a boy of 1G
or 18 years, has been inactive,* and will
in all probability prove innocent.
“The captain was beaten and wounded,
thrown overboard and drowned under hor
rible circumstances. The mate, Vande
Sluess, was nearly wounded to death, and
afterwards died on board the vessel; the
second mate, Moire, after having heen
thrown overboaid, mounted the vessel
again, and reached the cabin, where he
was then locked up, together with the
captain’s wife, (Mary,) Mr. Deal, from
Philadelphia, the owner of the vessel and
perhaps of the cargo too, and Mrs. Deal,
his wife, and kept prisoners during a se’-
niglit, as well as the cook, called Brown,
a negro, who was locked up in the fore
castle. The mutineers intended to suffo
cate the four persons in the cabin, but left
or failed doing so, and afterwards agreed
to let them live, and to leave them, togeth
er with the negro, to the mercy of the
waves in the long boat, on their swearing
never to denounce them.
“This was executed, and the said five
persons left the Braganza in the beginning
of August, in the long boat, at about 75
miles from Europe, with sufficient provi
sions for three weeks, a compass, boat’s
sails, &.c. no vessel being then in view,
but the weather was fine, and the Braganza
having seen several sails the same day, it
may be hoped that the boat was picked up
by one of them. The mutineers now
steered to the North Sea, w'ith the inten
tion of sinking the vessel at a convenient
period in the neighborhood of the Elbe,
but were prevented from doing so by run
ning on shore on this coast. The vessel
has been unloaded by coasters from sever
al quarters, and part of her cargo has been
delivered to the authorities, the remainder
has been stolen, together with the stores,
&.c. of the vessel.
“Both of the mates were subjects of the
U. States.”
The boat noticed above, was picked up
on the 12th of August, by the brig Hilder,
with five persons in her, and carried into
Greenock. Their names were Mr. G. A.
Diehl and lady; Mrs. Furley, the Captain’s
wife; the second mate, Mr. Moir, and the
cook of the brig.
Patrick Henry, in the course of a
debate in the Virginia Convention on the
adoption ofthe Federal Constitution, said:
“Tell me where and when did freedom
exist, when the purse, and sword were giv
en up from the People? Unless a miracle
in human affairs shall interpose, no nation
ever did, or ever can, retain its liberty
after the loss of the sword and the purse.
“I object, too, against the* immense
patronage of the President, because it
places in his hands the means of corrup
tion, and of distributing throughout the
country a band of retainers in the shape
of judges, revenue officers, and others,
which renders him irresistible in any
scheme of ambition that he might medi
tate against the liberties of the country.
“I object to the whole gang of federal
officers. *********
Gentlemen, depend upon it, this power
may work sorely on your necks.”
To Salt Bitter. Beat very well up
together, in a marblfc morter, half a pound
of common salt, 4 ounces saltpetre, and 4
ounces loaf sugar. To every pound of
newly made butter, (the milk being well
drawn off by beating,) put an ounce of
the mixed powder—incorporate it well,
and put the butter in pots for keeping.—
In about a month—not before, it will be
fit for use; and it will continue for ten
years as good as butter newly made.

A worthy surgeon dentist was lately
making a YVhig speech in one of the in

Le Chapeau de Paille.—An amusing
instance of the blunders of our transatlan
tic contemporaries, is contained in the
following notice in the London Court
Journal:
Her Majesty looked unusually well,
and appeared to he in excellent health
and spirits. Her Majesty wore on this oc
casion the elegant hat lately sent to her
!by the State of Massachusetts, through
their honorable representative, Carl King,
Esq. which came by the Great Western.
This truly beautiful hat is made of a grass
peculiar to that State, called June grass,
on account of its springing up and decay
ing in that month. The hat was univer
sally admired by all the ladies in attend
ance on her Majesty, who very graciously
allowed each of them to try it on, they all
expressing a great desire to avail them
selves of the first opportunity they ever
had of wearing an American hat. We
calculate, as brother Jonathan would say,
that if the hats usually worn in the State
of Massachusetts are all as handsome as
the one sent to Her Majesty, that the
young ladies must be worth looking at.
Horse Flesh as Food. It has been
said and we believe truly, that if the meat i
of four different animals, he similarly pre-1
pared, neither gorinand nor epicure can
specificate them. Cookery changes the
semblance of all articles of food; and the
attainment of excellence in that art has
heen, and is, productive of much gratifi
cation to mankind. Bv the use of condi
ments, an imitated dish, may deceive those
accustomed to the original, as mock-turtle
soup, mutton for venison, cat for hare, &,c.
But it is stated on good authority, that
the flush of the horse, can by no means,
(in etting) be distinguished from that of
the ox. In Paris, during the years 1803,
1811, and 1817, times when meat of all
kinds was extravagantly expensive, lar<re
quantities of horse flesh was sold as food.
In 1825, a committee appointed to exam
ine the meat stalls, actually proposed to
Government, to permit, under certain reg-!
illations, the sale of horse meat, as human J
food. In Denmark, the public sale of
horse flesh, is authorized. The liver,
was iruch esteemed, by tLe French sol
diers, during the Russian campaign. As-j
ter the battles of Eylau and of Eslingen,
the wounded were fed upon horse flesh'
for several days. Baron Larrey partook!
of the fare, and says, “Ce bouillon fat |
d’unetres bonne qunlite.” M. Ducliatelet
informs, that at the slaughter house situat-j
cd at Montfaucon, 13,000 horses are kill- j
ed annually. There are other establish-!
ment> for the same purpose, in different
parts of the city, the proprietors of which
have nade immense fortunes. M. Ducliat-;
elet aithor of a work on Public »yg ieiu\
was eminently qualified to write upon that]
[subject, having been (or years one of the
most efficient of the council of health,
and havitig visited in person almost every
hole and corner of Paris; public sew'ers,
slaughter houses, dissecting rooms; the
shofs and abodes of workmen engaged in
taming, preparing glue, music strings,
&c—the lay-stalls, obstructed vaults; in
shoit every place disgusting and offensive,
| for the purpose of improving the health pol
i ice of Paris. It would seem from his j
I work that horse meat, is not the only conn- j
j teneit of daily food, but that cats and dogs ]
ioccasionally furnish a repast for Parisian]
I citizens; he often having observed, (while
| visiting the establishments, appropriated to j
tbt skinning of these animals) a number
■ ofthem, “ouverts, depouilles, et trousses
! avec soin, tout prets enfm a faire cuire,
pair le repas, auquel ils devaient servir”—
dressed and prepared to he cut up for the j
pot or the spit. He seems inclined to]
permit the sale of horse flesh. He tells us
tint many of the men, employed in the!
great slaughter house at Montfaucon, use,
it constantly, and they do not suffer any
bad effects from the practice.
Ancient Carthage. Sir Grenville
Temple, who lately arrived at Malta from
Tunis, on board the Ottoman frigate Su
rieb, has employed himself, for the last
s.x months, in making excavations on the j
classic soil of Carthage—a city, the mere
mention of whose name awakens in the
basom of every scholar a thousand recol
lections of glory which onee adorned the
mistress of the African seas, and the im
mortal rival of the Roman republic. His
labors have been well rewarded by the
peculiarly interesting discoveries he has
made. Among them we may notice that
! oa the site of the temple of Ganath, or |
i Juno Caclcstis, the great protecting divin
, ity of Carthage, he found about 700 coins,
! and various objects of glass and earthen
ware. But the most remarkable, and per
. haps least expected of his discoveries, is
that of a villa, situated on the sea shore,
and buried fifteen feet under ground.
Eight rooms .are completely cleared, and
their size and decorations prove that the
house belonged to a wealthy personage.
I he walls are painted, and the floors are
beautifully paved in mosaic, in the same
manner as those at Pompeii and Hercula
neum, representing a great variety of sub
jects, such as marine deities, both male
; and female, different species of sea fish,
! marine plants, a vessel with female figures
I dancing on deck, and surrounded by ad
-1 miring warriors; other portions represent
| lions, horses, leopards, tigers, deers, ze
' bras, bears, gazelles, hares, herons, and
the like. Ten human skeletons, appar
ently those slain during the assault of the
city, were found in the different chambers.
[Sir Grenville also discovered in another
house, other mosaics of great interest:
these represent gladiators contending in ,
the arena with wild beasts, and over each
man is written his name. In another part
are seen horse races, and men breaking in
young horses. [

Passionate Obstinacy. —A woman by
the nainq of Philips, residing at Newport,
England, has recently given a most re
markable instance of unbridled passion
when her vv ill was opposed by her husband.
She wished to attend a fashionable fair
given for the benefit of anew church.
Her husband thought she was wanted at
home to look after her domestic affairs
and objected. Upon which she swore,
that if he did not allow her to go, she
would immediately chop off’ her finger.
The threat was of course treated with con
tempt, but strange to say, she carried her
intention into effect, and no sooner was
one off than a second shared the same fate;
vv hen.withthe most extraordinary persever
ance, she exclaimed, “here’s go at hand.”
The hatchet, the instrument used, im
mediately fell just below the wrist, and
severed the whole of the tendons, but
without injuring the bono. A surgeon
was sent for, and the woman was destin
ed to undergo a second infliction by hav
ing the stumps of both amputated, vwid
her hand was dressed. After the operation
was performed she told the surgeon she
was sorry to lose her fingers, but she
would do the same thing again, if her hus
band put any restraint on her inclinations!
An Actual Scene after Battle.—
The battle of Soldin between the Russians

learn in whose favor the battle had turned.
Toward evening seven hundred Russians
