[From the Baltimore Chronicle.] ON THE APPROACH OF SPRING. I love to see gay Spring with rosy robe. Come tripping forth like some all beauteous bride ; The fairest goddess of the green gay globe, With all her daughters dancing at her side. First comes the lovely April with her showers, Weeping o’er March who sleeps in Winter's tomb ; Along her path are seen the earliest flowers, Which Nature bids in beauty’s bowers to bloom. Then May, with gaudy garlands for the grave Os aged April, comes in roses dress’d ;. Delicious fruits around her .'air brow wave, And sweetest odours issue from her breast. I love thee Spring, I love thee for thy flowers, That oft adorn the brow of Beauty fair; I love thee for thy green and shady bowers, j Where laughing Love escapes from pale 1 despair. I love thee that thou art an emblem bright Os beanty, ere her bosom sorrow knows ; Os youth,.ere care hath dimm'd the brilliant light Os his gay heart, and fill’d it with life's woes. Milford Baku. iff I K C E L E A If I. Horrors of Duelling. —ln 1807 the 71st Regiment was stationed at Armagh. Major Campbell, while sitting after dinner j one day at the mess table, had a slight Lmarrel with Captain Boyd about the mode ■if giving a particular word of command. After the altercation the Major went home, drank tea with his wife, and having made some arrangements, returned to the hotel where the mess was held. He ordered 1 lights into a small room, and then sent a message to Captain Boyd, that he wished to speak to him. Boyd shortly entered the apartment, the door of which was in stantly closed. In a few minutes shots were heard, and the waiters, rushing in, found Boyd writhing on the ground, mor tally wounded. Lieutenant Macpherson, who was accidentally at hand, hurried to the spot, and was witness to the conversa tion which weighed with such fatal effect agaist Campbell on his trial. He heard Major Campbell say, “On the word of a dying man, was every thing fair?” Boyd replied, “Campbell, you have hurried me. You are a bad man.” The Major repeat ed the question, with still greater earnest ness, and Boyd again answered, “Oh! my —Campbell you know I wanted to wait and have friends.” The Major repeated his question a third time adding, “Did you ! not say* you were ready?” To this Boyd ; | assented, but, as before, added, “Camp-: | bell, you are a bad man.” Hesubsequent j ly declared he forgave the Major, and ex pressed great sympathy for his situation. The real circumstances of the duel are few and simple. When Boyd entered the room, he complained of the sudden j ness with which he had been summoned j from the parade ground, and expressed a wish that the matter should be deferred | until friends were provided. The Major ! made a passionate answer, accompanied by ! a threat of proclaiming Boyd a coward, un less he instantly made his choice of the pistols that were produced, and took his stand in the corner of the room. Boyd, it is said, continued to remonstrate until he was cut short by Campbell’s stern question, “Are you ready?” and his agita tion prevented him from having an equal | chance. Campbell made his escape from j Ireland, and resided for several months, : under a feigned name at Chelsea; but his i mind became so uneasy that he resolved to surrender himself and take his trial.— j The duel had been the theme of much con- 1 versation, and the privacy of the rencontre j gave room for the invention of calumnious ! reports, which the Major’s flight tended to j confirm. He was first cousin to Lord I Breadalban; and his surrender, instead of, being viewed as the result of penitence] and remorse, was regarded by too many as I 1 a mockery and bravado of justice. Utter-1 ly false as the case was, Campbell confirm-1 ed the prejudices against him by incau- j tiotisly and very imprudently declaring,! i“He was shure the verdict would be man-i i slaughter.” The misrepresentation of those innocent words produced a strong effect on the minds of the Presbyterians of Armagh. His modest and contrite deport ment on his trial, and the excellent char acter given of him by officers of the high est rank, went far toward turning the table in his favor. But one of the witnesses for the defence is said to have exhibited a I dictatorial air, as if his simple word would J decide the verdict, and this circumstance is reported to have had a fatal influence. The verdict was “guihy of murder,” with a recommendation to mercy on the : ground of good character only. Sentence ■of death was pronounced, but, by great [exertions, respite was obtained; and Mrs. Campbell, who was tenderly attached to i her husband, resolved to proceed to Lon don and solicit the royal mercy. She has i tened to the sea coast; but found that uii j expected circumstances threatened to frus trate her hopes. Steamboats were not yet in use. It blew a perfect hurricane; and no reward would attempt the captain of any vessel to venture to sea. While ] she was running up and down the shore in a distracted state, she met a few hum ; ble fishermen, and those poor fellows no sooner heard the cause of her agony than i they offered her their services and their i boat, in which she actually crossed the j channel. Her brave companions not only j refused to receive any reward, but attend led her to the coach office and followed her several miles o;i the road, pr,tying Cod to bless her with success. On arriv ; ing at Windsor with her petition, it was past eight o’clock and the King had re tired to his apartment; but the Queen com passionating the afflicted wife, presented the memorial that night, and Mrs. Camp bell received the kindest attention from the whole of the royal family. The case was anxiously debated in the Council, but, alter a full review of the circumstances, it was finally resolved that the law should take its course, notwithstanding the ertrea ties of the devoted wife. Mrs. Campbell in the mean time, proceeded to Scotland, cheered with the hope of obtaining, at j least another respite. She reached Ayr, , her paternal home, on the very morning 1 that her husband's corpse was brought I thither, to repose in the sepulchre of his ! ancestors. When Major Campbell heard that his fate was decided, he prepared to i meet his death with the fortitude of a sol- I dier, and the resignation of a Christian.— A change had come over the public mind, ■ and universal sorrow flfr his fate had taken the place of the prejudices, which inac i curate reports of the duel had produced, j By a strange concurrence of circumstan i ces his own regiment mounted guard round the scaffold. A vast multitude oc cupied every spot from which a view of the place of execution could he obtained. The crowds displayed the unusual show of all the gentry from the neighboring country assembled in deep mourning.— Precisely at noon Major Campbell appear ! ed on the platform, supported by his fath er in law. Instantly the brave Highland ers took off their military bonnets, and, with streaming eyes, joined in prayer for the spirit about to be parted from its mor tal frame. The vast crowd stood uncover ed in solemn silence, so that the grating of the falling drop was heard to its remotest extremity. One groan from the thousands of spectators, for an instant, broke the profound silence, and proclaimed that all was over.—[U. S. Service Journal. Affecting Anecdote of tub Stage. Mr. John Palmer, well known as an actor on the London boards, terminated bis dra matic career and bis life on the Liverpool stage, in 1793. On the morning of the day on which he was to have performed the “Stranger,” he received the distress ing intelligence of the death of his second son, a youth in whom his dearest hopes were centered, and whose amiable manners had brought into action the tenderest af fections of a parent. The play, in conse quence of this, was deferred; and during the interval, he had in vain endeavored to calm the agitation of his mind. The success"with which he performed the part called for a second representation, in which he fell a sacrifice to the poignancy of his own feelings, and in which the au dience were doomed to witness a catastro phe which was truly melancholy. In the fourth act, Baron Steinfort obtains an in terview with the Stranger, whom he dis covered to be bis old friend. He prevails on him to relate the cause of his seclusion from the world; in this relation the feel ings o f Mr. Pal tner were visibly much ag itated; and at the moment he mentioned his w.fu and children, having uttered, (as in the character) “O God! O God! there is another and a better world!” he fell lifeless on the stage. The audience supposed for a moment his fall was nothing more than a studied addition to the part; but seeing him carried off'in deadly stiffness, the ut most astonishment and terror become de picted in every countenance." Tbe fife less corpse was conveyed from the stage into the Medical assistance was immediately procured; his veins were opened, but they yielded not a single drop of blood; and every other means of resusci tation were bad recourse to, without effect. The gentlemen of the faculty finding eve-' ry endeavor ineffectual, formally announc ed his death. j One of the greatest comforts which a man can enjoy in this life, arises from an in ward assurance of his own integrity, and the consciousness of doing his duty, and fulfilling the wishes, injunctions and in terests of those, present or absent, whom he loves. He who has not this comfort is without either the hope of a Christian,! or the excuse of an Infidel A Hard case. —An ex-postmaster in I Georgia, who recently resigned his office ! j has made an amusing exposition. He 1 says, that his receipts as Postmaster were nothing at all; though he was expected to! do the drudgery of the party, and that when he had been officiating about a mouth, the Department drew on him for 850, which he charitably furnished. Shortly afterwards, when there were not live dollars of the public money in his hands, the Department drew on him for •850 more, which he also furnished. Hearing subsequently, that a third requi sition was about to be made, he backed out from bis official dignity as precipit j aiely as possible. This was a hard case. Phe closest parallel to it that we have ever seen, was that of a large stage trav eller over a muddy road in New Jersey. Soon after starting, one of the stage wheels dropped into a mud-hole, and the passenger at the solicitation of the dri ] ver, got a fence rail and helped to pry it ; out. “I guess,” said the driver, after 1 the job was finished, “you mought as well j ! bring that ere rail along with you, there’s ! ■ another hole ahead.” Accordingly the trav- 1 eller, not in the best humor, trudged : along half a mile on foot under the pon derous rail, and again relieved the wheel. He was now about to take his scat in the vehicle, but the driver called out to him: “There’s another hole younder—l guess : you’ll have to take that ere rail along with you, and, as the road is muddy, you’d better go a foot.” “Look ye, sir,” thundered the traveller at last, provoked beyond endurance—“go to the devil with your oid stage! I’ve no objection at all to walking, but as for paying stagefare , for the privilege of walking the whole distance with a big rail on my shoulder— ; I shall do no such thing!”—[Louisville Journal. Timber vs. Iron. —The greatest ri valry exists between the builders of tim ber steamboats and iron steamboats. The \ former declares that vessels built of dry fir have a decided superiority over those ]of iron, and are ninety-eight times as ! strong in direct tension, seventy eight times las strong in direct thrust, and eighty-six times as in lateral straining, and are also they allege, decidedly superior in durabil ity, speed, stability, cost, price, strength, elacticity, and require a much less draught of water. So convinced is one builder of this, that lie has issued circulars chal lenging in sums from .£IOO to =£looo to builders of iron steamboats to produce one of the same engine power per ton nage, to compete in the above qualities with a wooden built steamer of equal tonnage.— -[English paper. Sayings from tiif. Talmud. —When .Esop n answer to the question put him by Cliilo, “what God was doing?” said “that he was depressing • the proud and exalting the humble,” the reply was con sidered as most admirable. But the same sentiments are to be found in the Men rash, though expressed, ns usual with the Jewish writers, in the form of a story; it runs thus:—A matron once asked Rah* hi Jose, ‘ln how many days did God cre ate the world?’ ‘ln six days,’ replied rab bi, as it is written, ‘ln six days God made the heavens and the earth.’—‘But;’ con tinued she, ‘what is he doing now?’—‘Oh!’ replied the rabbi, ‘he makes ladders on which he causes the poor to ascend, and the rich to descend,’ or in other words, he exalts the lowly, and depresses the haughty.” There was discovered on an ancient tombstone Greek words to the following purpose: —“I was not, and I became! lam not, but shall he.” The same thought is expressed in the follow ing reply of Rabbi Gabiha to a sceptic. A free thinker once said to Rabbi Gabiha, “Ye fools who believe in a resurrection, see ve not that the living die? how then can you believe that the dead shall live?” “Sil ly man!” replied Gabiha, thou believest in a creation—well then if what never be fore existed exists, why may not that which once existed exist again?”— [Good bugh’s Lectures on Biblical Literature.

[TERMS *3 IX ADVANCE. NUMBER 43. Tiif. ParisjGamdling Houses. —Tho action brought by a banker against the farmer-general of the lately closed gambl ing houses to recover 107,340 francs, lost at Frascati’s by one of his clerks, has elicited much curious information. After the evidence, proving that upwards of 730,000 persons were admitted, and SCO,- 000,000 francs yearly play ed in the seven “hells,” the defendant labored to show that if exulting bulletins were hourly trans mitted to him, announcing], the arrival of high players and their successive losses, his paternal solicitude exclude all such as his contract with the city of Paris prohib ited him from receiving. Thus, in 1837, the last year of the existence of these cred itable establishments, 49,403 persons wero rejected, viz: 19,710 minors, 6,346 stu dents, 105 door-keepers, or office-messen gers, 118 females in male attire, 11,058 servants and workmen, 1,910 intoxicated men, 8,125 ill-dressed persons, 1,130 stop ped by the police. The admission and ex clusions were superintended by eleven commissioners, appointed by the farmer general, whose combined vigilance and sagacity could scarcely frustrate the stra tagems resorted to by gamblers. Thus, one day, an old gentleman, with a snow white wig, spectacles over his nose, and his decayed frame propped by a gold-head ed cane, turned out, on closer examination, to be a very young and very pretty wo man. On another occasion, a blind gen tleman was led by bis valet cfc chamber. when the latter p.-.ved a student of the ecclesiastical seminary. A clerk of M. M. Berthond’s firm contrived to get in un perceived. On his exhibiting a bundle of bank-notes, he was questioned, and his employers being sent for, they recovered 45,000f. M. Milleret recovered in the same manner 80,000, w hich a confidential agent of his bank was about to gamble with, and the late Duke de Duras, on re ceiving due notice, hastened to one of tho Palais Royal houses, in time to intercept a sum which one of his servants was trans ferring from his muster’s pocket to the coffers of the state, city of Paris. Publirationof the Laws. —The Georgia papers are filled with the Acts, which wero passed at the recent session of the Geor gia Legislature. We are pleased to see this. The law which authorises and pays for the publication of all the Acts of As sembly in that State, is most excellent. — We recommend the passage ofsuchalaw, iu South Carolina. Besides benefiting that most useful class of citizens, the Prin ters, this law would be of great advantage to the public at large. It is certainly of great concernment to every citizen, to know what has been done by the men, wliomjie has refected for bis representa tives. How is he to know, unless the acts of those representatives are published in the newspapers? According to the pres ent system, printers generally publish only a list of the acts. It cannot be ex pected that they should publish the pro ceedings of the Legislature at full length, without remuneration, to the exclusion of other matter, for which they are paid. It argues well for the intelligence oi anv country, to have the acts of its government, made known to its citizens. In the early ages of the Roman Republic, the laws were carefully concealed from the Plebei ans, by the Patricians, in order to keep the common people in iguorauce, and to strengthen their own power. A* the peo ple become more enlightened, and more sensible of their own rights, the laws which were enacted, were made public. Affairs thus continued, until the overthrow of the Republic, and the commencement of Imperial power, under Augustus. The arts and polite literature, indeed flourish ed under the Emperors for a season, but the laws were only known to the people, in their despotic oppression. Liberty was at an end, and a night of barbarism shortly envoloped the world. In our own days, we find th.at it is the policy of all arbitra ry governments, to keep the people in ig norance of the laws. Look at Russia! Her fifty millions know nothing of Jaws, save from the ukases of her irresponsible Autocrat; and even these are -perverted and construed, by the magistrates and pet ty governors, to the oppression of the peo ple. Great Britain, and our own country are indebted for ailtheir high intelligence, and indomitable spirit of liberty, to. the publicity which is given to the acts of their governments.—[Edgeljeld (S.
