Larkin is a stout Mulatto fellow, about 28 years of ago, 5 feet 6 to 9 inches high—he has a scar on his right cheek, also some marks of small pox about his face, particularly on his nose, also a large scar from an axe on his foot, near the great toe. Larkn has rather a feeble voice for a man of his stature. Cato is a black fellow, an African by birth, he is a stout, square built fellow, about 4 feet 4 to 6 inches high—has the mark of his tribe on his breast, he is like wise ruptured, and has a very large mouth. Dick is a small black, well set fellow, also an African by birth, with a round face and down cast look, easily confused when interrogated; there is also a singular appearance about his mouth when alarmed. The above three fel lows were bought of the estate of Jno. H. Mo rel, in March 1836, and formerly lived at the Cottonham Plantation, Bryan Cos. They are also well acquainted in and about Savannah.

Mar 30—lOw POETRY. , [For the Brunswick Advocate.] A FRAGMENT. It was the hour of midnight; and within A chamber burned a solitary lamp, Shedding its light upon a scene of woe And desolation; while the pale cold light Os the wan moon fell dimly on the floor, Its rays commingling with its brighter beams, Making the scene more dreary; upon a couch Clothed in the white habiliments of death, Which seemed a very mockery to the heart Os the lone watcher in that silent hour, — Contrasting with the gloomy darkness of her breast, There lay, in the last dreamless sleep, a form Which breathed but yesterday the breath of life. The last faint throbbing of the pulse was o'er, And the closed eyes were sleeping with decay; The lips which oft gave utterance to the thoughts, Which thronged within the chambers of the brain Os him who slumbered, opened now no more; Death's fearful fiat was upon them all. Beside him knelt, clad in the garb of sorrow, A female form—her eyes were dim with watch- . in 2- And grief was pictured on her pallid cheek, Down which flowed freely sorrow's hallowed tear; She knelt in prayer—and from her heart arose A lervent supplication to her God, That he would look in mercy on the one Who lay before her and receive his spirit; Short period was it since his bridal hour, When love had yielded to his heart delight, And hope had lighted with its brilliant ray The vista of his after years. When all The dreams which blessed him were of happi ness— With one fond heart to share his weal or woe; Death blighted all his visions in their bloom And hushed to rest the passions of his soul, And she, who was as yet a blooming bride, Rich in the treasures of mutual love, Wag doomed in youth to wear tho widow's weeds, And mourn the loss of him who wag the sun Os her existence—and sorrow met her, As in the early spring time of the year, A wintry blast assails some blooming flower, And stamps i(s beauties with the hues of woe; But in that moment, as she knelt in prayer, Beside the cold form of the one she loved, And asked for mercy for the sleeper's soul At the Almighty’s hands; may He who ever Looks down with pity on the heart where grief Hath reared its throne amid the blighted wreck Os hopes and happiness,—impart a ray Os comfort and of gladness to her spirit, That she may bear with fortitude the stroke That severs in the spring time of their lives Two hearts united in the bonds of lovs, And shield her pathway with protecting arm Amid the ills she yet may suffer, as She goes alone upon her pilgrimage. Brunswick, May 1839. W. B. R. MIS CELLANY. Bf. it ever so humble there’s no place like Home. —We think the annals of prisons will hardly furnish a parallel to the following facts, for which we are in debted to a correspondent:— About the year 1820, James Osborne, of Sherman, in this county, was convicted upon a charge for assault and battery, and sentenced to pay a small fine and cost. — The precise amount of the whole we do not recollect, but it was quite inconsider able. The amount not being paid, he was committed to the jail in Danbury, where he remained eighteen years. As the law has stood during that period, he could be discharged from his imprison ment, only upon either paying the fine and cost, or giving his note for the amount.— This he ever steadily refused to do. The judges of the County Court, the sheriffs, and state’s attornies have all endeavored to get rid of him, and to persuade him to ex ecute the note, for without the note, neith er one nor all of them had any authority to release him. But a’’ has been in vain and he has remained a tenant of the prison. During the session of the legislature in May last, a representation of these facts was made to that body, and a resolution passed ordering him to be forthwith releas ed unconditionally. Even then he refus ed to leave the jail apd was forcibly turn ed out. He returned to his native place, but friends and acquaintances, with only a few exceptions, had disappeared. Some had removed, and others were no longer among the living; and he found there places occupied by another generation of men. He was a stranger in the land of his fath ers, and sighed for his former habitation within the walls of the prison. He wan dered about for a few months, and in Oc tober last returned to the jail in Danbury and sought admission. The jailer receiv ed him and there he now is, occupying one of the cells of the jail, and paying the keeper two dollars per week for his entertainment.—[Norwalk Gazette. | London Eating House—Anecdote—- While upon the Jeremy Diddler subject,! j it may not be amiss to mention an amusing circumstance which took place in an eat ing-house in town. A poor Frenchman (it was in the winter) entered one merely for the purpose of warming himself at the fire; he was in too great distress to think of any indulgence in the good things there smoking in profusion, save such as might be inhaled by his olfactory nerve. While engaged in rubbing his half-starved, bony bands before a good fire, the master of the bouse came up, and said— “ Wont you take something?” ‘‘l tank you.sare,’’ was the reply. “What will you take?” “What you please?” “We have some very nice roast turkey i and sausages; will you like that?” “I lank you, I sail like him vere mooch.” j “Sit down here, and I will bring it you.” j The Frenchman was accordingly usher- j ed into a box, and the turkey and dressings placed before him. Os whatever lie was! asked to partake, he partook. He ate j bountifully, and washed it down with some! good wine. Poor fellow! he had not l known such a meal before for many a long 1 day. The proprietor thought he had a i good customer; his mortification and dis ! appointment were extreme, when, on pre senting his bill, the Frenchman said, j “1 have no money, sure.” “No money?” “No.” “Then what the devil did you come in to my house, and order such a dinner for?” j “Pardon, you mistake; I came here to j warm myself—you come to me and ask! me if I will take nothing; I say ‘I tank j you;’ you say ‘What will you take?’ I re spond ‘What you please;’ you bring me dc | turkey, de sausage, de tart, de puding, dc j cheese, and de wine; I no ask you for them, | you ask me will I take, and I can no re-: fuse. The master of the house, who was something of a humorist, and who was al- ; so struck with the Frenchman’s gaunt 1 and poverty stricken figure, suffered him to depart. But great was his astonishment seeing, a short time afterwards, another Frenchman enter, who, upon being asked what he would take, likewise replied, “What you please.” “Oh, oh,” exclaim ed the landlord, “I forgave the other be cause he was an original; but you, fellow, are a mere copyist, I shall kick you into the street,” which he did accordingly. It appeared that the poor premier French man had met an acquaintance and told him of his adventure at the eating house, the poor starved acquaintance hastened to the spot already feasting in imagination on de licacies innumerable, and little dreaming of the unpleasant denouement which the cruel Fates had in reserve for him. The Origin of confining Jurors from Meat and Drink. —The Gothic nations were famous of old, in Europe, for the quantities of food and drink which they consumed. The ancients in England, were remarkable for their hearty meals. Gluttony and drunkenness were so very common, that those vices were not thought disgraceful; and Tactitus represents the former as capable of being as easily over come by strong drink as by arms. In temperance was so general and habitual, that no one was thought to be fit for se rious business after dinner; and under this persuasion it was enacted in the laws, that judges should hear and determine causes fasting; and not eifter dinner. An Italian author, in his “Antiquities,” plainly affirms that this regulation was framed for the purpose of avoiding the unsouud decrees consequent upon intox ication; and Dr. Gilbert Stuart, very pa tiently and ingeniously observes, in his “Historical Dissertation concerning the Antiquary of the British Constitution,” that from the propensity of the older Bri tains to indulge excessively in eating and drinking has proceeded the restriction up on jurors and jurymen, to refrain from meat and drink, and to be even held in custody, until they had agreed upon their verdict. Not long since, the school committee of a certain New England city, discovered that one of the masters they employed, spent as many hours, each day, in making candle-boxes, as he spent in school; —or, as he might possibly have stated the case, he worked six hours a day on his own wood, and six hours on, theirs. This be ing discovered, the committee summoned the master before them for solemn admo nition. After being arraigned, and hearing his indictment, and being expeeted to plead guilty and promise amendment, he replied to the following effect. “Gentle men, it is an old saying, that like begets ■ like. The smallness of your hearts begets j the smallness of my salary, and the lean i,,ess of your souls begets the leanness of !my bones. If I spent all my time in at- I tempting to fill the knowledge-boxes of | your children, without making candle-box jes for myself, my soul would not have the | means of keeping its earthly box together | six mouths longer.” “If we cannot alter things Why then we’ll change their names sir.” In days of yore when drinking flip was l fashionable mode of dissipation, a wor-' thy old gentleman came near losing his life by its excessive use. While danger thus stared him in the face he uttered a most solemn vow that if he recovered, be never would taste another drop of flip. Health returned, and with it his former appetite. Self-denial coold not long main tain the supremacy. “Cuff,” said lie one day to a favorite and favored slave, “bring me a mug of beer.” “Yes massa.” “Put in a little old Jamaica, Cuff.” "Yes mas sa.” “Now drop in some sugar.” “Yes massa.” “Cuff, set it down on the hearth and stick the hot end of the andiron in it.” Cuff paused a little. “Massa, mo thought you swear you drink no more flip.” “This is not flip Cuff; you may call it warm sweetened beer with a little rum in it.” “Yes massa, me berry tick led to —but—but—” “But what, you black rascal ?” “Me bery much afraid debbei set it down flip.”—[Barre (Mass) Gazette. True Charity. —One of the most beau tiful instances of the considerate kind ness of true charity with which we are acquainted, is that of the benevolent Dr. Wilson of England. He once discover ed a clergyman at Bath, who, as he was informed, was sick and poor, at the s*me time oppressed with the care of maintain ing a numerous family. In the evening he gave a friend fifty pounds, requesting he would deliver it in the most delicate manner, and as from an unknown person. The friend replied, “I will wait upon him early in the morning.” "You will oblige me, sir, by calling directly. Think of whai importance a good night’s rest may be to that poor man.”—[Charleston Register. In a recent interview with a young cler gyman, settled in a country village, who has several small children, he declared, that after a deep consideration of the sub ject, after an examination of all those argu ments by which men so often flatter them selves, that they have done their duty, when they have only subserved their inter est or consulted their convenience, lie had come to the conclusion, th?*. it was his duty to send his children to the common district school of the village. “If,” said he, “I am really one of my church and of my people, then the school which 1 assist iu providing for their children, is as good for mine as for them. I shall not he so likely to watch over the school, to exert myself for its advancement, to look after the manners of the children, to cultivate their good affections, to preserve them from bad habits, from the vices of lying, profanity, obscenity, if my own children j are not among them. Such is- human nn jture, that I dare not trust my own ability to perform my duty, if I set my own inter est in opposition to theirs, or sever the con nexion between them.” A writer in the London Magazine, speaking of Liverpool as a place of busi ness, very properly gives it, in certain respects, the preference over London. The commerce of the first mentioned place lias, it would seem, doubled itself within twelve years, and so rapid is the increase that, notwithstanding the most strenuous exertions to keep pace with it, the shipping accommodations are not suf ficient for the demand. The quay at Liv erpool extends along the river for about two miles and a half, and is every where indented by large docks which are so full that ships arriving from sea are frequent ly forced to remain in the river at con siderable risk. An immense dock has lately been constructed, the cost of which has already been a million of pounds ster ling. The revenue from the customs contributed by Liverpool is four millions sterling annually, and its export trado ex ceeds even that of London. As may bn supposed, the habits of the Liverpool peo ple are peculiarly business like. Every one has the air of being actively occupied and instead of malls and public walks for the purposes of lounging, the eye of the traveller rests upon establishments con nected with commerce, and streets filled with busy passengers, the quickness of w hose gait bespeaks the urgency of their occupation.—[Balt. American. The Great Western. —lt is said that the late passage is (he greatest triumphjhis ship has achieved. For two weeks it blew constant heavy gales, with a tremendous dead sea on from the West, and for much of the time the gale amounted to a hur ricane. The ship pitched dreadfully, sometimes the wheel house nearly under, and yet not one moment did her engine cease to work nor a screw or bolt loosen in any part of the machinery. A person at any time could sit quietly in the cabin, and at no moment was it considered that there was the least danger. A few pad dles were one night lorn away by a float ing log it is thought, as there was much drift wood at sea. [TERMS *3 IN ADVANCE. NUMBER 48. [From the Philadelphia World.] On Wednesday afternoon, while Cow* modore Elliott was coming in the rail road cars to this city to attend the Court of In quiry to be lield at the Navy Yard a per son who is called Major M’Donalo, of Louisiana spoke very disrespectfully of Generals Gaines and Jesup, and of the commanding officers of the Nary, and es pecially Com. Elliott, whom he represent ed as a coward in the battle of LakeJE rie, .Hid a tyrant in the Mediterranean—Com. Elliott observed that he was mistaken in the facts, that a Court of Inquiry upon the battle of L ike Erie, iu 1818, the record of which was now in the Navy Depart ment, had settled the case very differ ently. Major M’Donald denied this and con tinued his vituperations of Com. Elliott. The latter then announced himself, aud remarked that if Mr. Al’Donaid were a gentleman, he would refer the dispute to another opportunity: not wishing to dis turb the ladies in the car. Com. Elli ott then requested a gentleman in an un dertone, to deliver his card to M’Donald, with a request that he would not leave the city till he heard from the Commodore. He refused to receive the card, ard con tinued his abuse. When the car stopppd in Broad-street, several gentlemen requested the Commo dore to take no notice of this man, as he seemed unworthy of if, or if he did, mere ly to give him a caning. He replied that I such was his intention, but that he first J wished to make a gentleman of the man, |by the offer of his card; and that as he ind refused that, a caning was duw. He then approached M’Donald and struck him with the cane. A scuffle ensued, in which M’Donald's cane was broken to pieces, and Elliott’s broken near the end. M'Donnld seizing one end of Elliott’s cane, drew off the sheath from tho sword. Some gentlemen present apprehending that the Commodore would wouud him, seized his arm, but released him on his saying that he should not injure, but rnere j ly flog his adversary. They then released him, and ho pursu ed M’Donald, who ran off, calling names 1 while the Commodore applied his blows. | The Commodore then returned, and pro ceeded to iiis lodgings at General Irvine's j in High street. We obtained this account throogb a gentleman who came iu the cars; witness ed the whole affair, and stated it to some Naval officers at the Mansion the account of the battle is corroborated |by information which we obtained at the rail road depot. Ablactation. —The printing for the principal Executive Departments at Wash ington, which has been done by the Globe I publishers, for some yenrs past, at their own prices, and at a clear profit of 10 or 12,000 dollars a year, is this year to be done by cou'ract, in pursuance of a late law of Congress to that effect. The Mad isonian of this morning states that tho printing for the present year has already been contracted for, by others competent to the duty, at prices far below those which the Globe editors offered to do it at, though these rejected offers on their part were themselves far below (be prices which the eoncern had heretofore charged for doing it. Thus one may see where one leak has existed heretofore of tho public money; and few, if any, will regret that this leak has been stopped, except the Globe owners thturMi«lv.es, wWatc thus j deprived of a portion of their accustomed j pap. Alluding to this loss of ten or twelve ! thousand dollars a year of clear profit, the Madisonian says: “Verily, the dynasty of the Globe approaches its end."—[Balti more Patriot.
