EXTRACTS FROM THE ‘DIARY
OF AN INVALID’
State of Society in Italy. — May 16/A.
After six days of continued travel
ling, a short season ol repose succeeds
as an agreeable vicissitude. Let me
employ a portion of it, in recording
niy impressions of the moral and po
litical state of the country, in which
1 have been sojourning.
The discontent of the people, par
ticularly in the Papal and Neapoli
tan states, is loud and open; for,
though the liberty of the press is un
known, they inuulge in the fullest
freedom of speech, in.canvassing the
conduct of their rulers. There is in
deed ample cause for discontent;
the people seem every day more im
patient of the civil and ecclesiastical
oppressions, to which they are sub
jected;—and a revolution is the com
mon topic of conversation. If there
were any rational hope of a revolu
tion bringing improvement, it would
be difficult not to wish for a revolu
tion in Italy.
A revolution, however, to be pro
ductive of benefit, ought to be effect
ed by the quiet operation of public
opinion; that is, of the virtuous and
well informed part of the public; and
this would be, not revolution, but
reform—the best way of preventing
a revolution, in the modern sense of
that term. But where shall we look,
in Italv, for the elements of such a
reform? There can be but little hope
of its political amelioration, till some
improvement has taken place in its
moral condition. How can any
thing great or good be expected from
a people, where the state of society
is so depraved, as to tolerate the cav
uliere servente system ? a system,
which sanctions the public display of
apparent, if not real, infidelity to the
most important and religious engage
ment of domestic life And yet,
constituted as society is in Italy, this
system ought perhaps to excite little
surprise. For, marriage is here,
for the moat part, a mere arrange
ment of convenience; and the par
ties often meet, for the first time, at
the foot of the altar. An Italian docs
not expect from such an union, the
happiness of home, with the whole
train of domestic charities which an
Englishman associates with the mar
riage state; the spes animi credula
niutui is certainty not the hope of an
Italian husband, and the Cavaieire
rubs him of nothing, which he is not
quite content to spare.
It is indeed, nine times iivten, to
the fault of the husband, that the in
fidelity of the wife is to be ascribed.
This is a reflection I have often
made to Italian men, who have al
ways seemed disposed to admit the
truth of it, but the truth is better at
tested by the exemplary conduct of
those women, whose husbands take
upon themselves to perform the offices
of affection, that are ordinarily lef t
to the Cavaliere. An Italian said to
me one day, ‘Una donna ha sempre
tnsogno d’appoggiarsi ad un uomo !
If she cannot repose her cares and
her confidence in the bosom of her
husband, is it very surprising that she
should seek some other support ?
Consider the character of the Italian
woman. Ardent and impassioned;
jealous of admiration, enthusiastic
alike in live or in lescntment, she
a trembling alive to the provocations
which she has so often to endure from
the open neglect and infidelity of the
man, who has sworn to love and pro
tcct her.
The spretffi injuria form® is an
in-ult which has provoked colder
constitutions than the Italian, to re
taliate. What indeed is there to re
strain her ? a sense of duty r there
is no such sense, An Italian woman
is accustomed to consider the con
jugal duties as strictly reciprocal,
and Would laugh to scorn, as tame
and slavish submission, the meek and
gentle spirit which prompted the re
ply of the ‘divine Desdemona’—
‘Unkindness mny do much;
And his unkiudncss may defeat my life,
liut never taint my love.'
And while there is so little to re
strain, the effect of example is to en
courage her to follow the bent of her
inclinations; and she is attended by a
licensed seducer, privileged to ap
proachherat all hours, and at full li
berty to avail himself of all the aid
that importunity and opportunity can
lend him, for the accomplishment of
his purpose.
These observations can only he
meant to apply to the higher classes
of society, to which the Cavaliere
system is confined; and it must not.
i»e supposed.even amongst these,that
there are not many examples of do
me tic virtue and domestic happi
ness; —or that husbands and wivgs
may not be found in Italy, asinothci
places, fondly and faithfully attach
ed to each other. Nor is it always
a criminal connection that subsists
a lady and her Cavaliere,
4
though it is generally supposed to be
so; but, many instances might be
cited, where it is well known that it
is not.
There is indeed a sort of mysti
’ cism in the tender passion, as it
seems always to have existed in this
country, which it is difficult to under
stand or explain. Platonic love, in
the verses of Petrarch, it indeed
Petrarch’s love were Platonic,glow’s
with a rapturous warmth, which of
ten speaks the very language of a
grosser feeling; while the most de
praved of all passions has been cloth
ed with a tenderness and delicacy of
sentiment ami expression, which
would seem to belong only to our pu
rest affections. Witness Horace’s
address to Ligurians:—
Sect cur heu Ligurine, cur,
1 Manat rara iiieas Incryina per penas?
Cur facunik parum dccoio,
I Inter verba cadet Lingua silentio?
"What can be more tender, unless
it be Pope’s beautiful imitation*
5 Hot why ah ! lel| me all! too clear !
, Steals down thy' check tli' involuntary
1 tear ?
- Why words so flowing, thoughts so free,
- Stop or turn nonsense at one glance ol
. thee? c-
But to return; —the Cavaieire sys
-1 tern must ever remain the great rnor
■ al blot in the Italian character,
and yet, this system, founded as it is
• in the violation of all laws and feel
• ing, has its own peculiar regulations,
: which it would be an unpardonable
I breach of etiquette to transgress,
I The lady must not have children by
t her paramour, at least, the notoriety
; of such a fact would be attended with
F the loss of reputation. What can
, be said of a slate of society that can
: tolerate such things, but, ‘ reform it
altogether.’
I am afraid the morals of England
will not derive much benefit from
familiarizing our country women to
hear these connexions talked oft*, as
they constantly are, without censure
or sm prise. It would be impossible,
however, to introduce the system in
to England, as it exists here.
Few Englishmen will be found to
bear the yoke that is here imposed
on a Cavaieire. An Italian, without
pursuit or profession, may find in
this philandering drudgery a plea
sant mode of employing his time :
but in England, politics and fiedd
sports, would if no better feelings or
principles should oppose its intro
duction, be in themselves sufficient to
interfere with such a system of female
supremacy. But; though much may
be feared from familiarity with vice,
I would rather hope, that a nearer
contemplation of its evil consequen
ces will induce them to cling with
closer affect ion to the moral habits
and institutions of their own country,
where the value of virtue and fideli
ty is still felt, and appreciated as it
ought to be; and to cultivate with
increasing vigilance all those obser
vances, which have been wisely sot
up as bulwarks to defend and secure
the parity of the domestic sanctuary
I remember. Fuller says, ‘ Tra
vel not beyond the Alps. Mr As
cliam did thank God, that he was Out
nine days in Italy; wherein he saw
in one city more liberty to sin, than
in London he had ever heard of in
nine years. That some ©four gentry
have gone thither and returned
thence without infection, I more
praise God, that their adventure’
If he entertained apprehensions for
the ‘ travel tainted' gentry of his
time, we may well feel anxiety for
ladies of our own, feeling as we must,
that it is to the female virtues of
England we should look, not only for
the happiness of our homes, but also
for the support of that national cha
acter. which has led to all our nati
onal greatness; for the character of
a nation is ever mainly determined by
(he institutions of domestic life; and
it Is to the influence of maternal
precept and maternal example upon
the mind of childhood, that all the
best virtues of manhood may ulti
mately be traced.
( The following is a beautiful and
glowing description.)
May 19th. An evening at Fiesolo,
which is situated on a commanding
eminence, about three miles distant
from Florence. The country is now
in the highest beauty. Spring is the
season tor Italy. We have little
Spring orsummer in England,—ex
cept in Thompson’s Seasons. Cli
mate, ifit do not constitute the hap
piness, is a very important ingredi
ent in the comfort ol life. An even
ingor night, in an Italian villa, at
this season of nightingales, and
moonlight, is a most delicious treat.
Mow could Shakspeare write as he
has dune, without having been in
Italy ? Some of his garden scenes
breathe the very life of reality. And
yet if he had been here, I think he
would not have omitted an allusion
to the fire fly, a little flitting insect,
that adds much to the charm of the
scene. The whole garden is illumi
nated by myriads ol these sparkling
lights, sprinkled about with as much
profusion us spangles on a ladies
gown. There is something delight
fully pleasant in the voluptuous lan
guor„ which the soft air of an Ital
ian evening occasions; and then the I
splendour of an Italian sun set
shall never forget the impressions
made upon me bjr a particular even
ing. The sun had just gone down,
leaving the whole sky dyed with the
richest tints of crimson, while the
virgin snows of distant mountains
were suffused with blushes ol‘ce
lestial rosy red}’ when from an op
pusite quarter of the heavens, there
seemed to rise another sun,as large
as bright, and as glowing as that
which had just departed. It was
the moon at (he full; and the illusion
was so complete’ that it requried
some few moments to convince me
that I was not in Fairy Land,

EDUCATION OF WOMEN.
The expediency of cultivating the
intellect of man is pretty well settled
at .the present day, and it seems dif
ficult to imagine why that of woman
should be neglected. If it have si
milar powers and equal strength, it
is as deserving of care, and will re
piijt care as well: if it he weaker
and narrower, it needs the mote to
be strengthened, enlarged, and dis
ciplined. If (he purposes of socie
ty and of life would be promoted by
the establishment of domestic slave
ry, then every spark of intellectual
light in the female Helot should he
carefully extinguished ; just as birds
in a cage are blinded, that they may
not look upon the forests and fields,
the blue heavens & the green earth,
& long to be abroad upon the air, till
melancholy should stop their song.
Bat religion and polio j alike revolt
at this. Man's best happiness, like
charity, begins at home and, like
that, is apt to stay there ; and home
is sure to be just what the wife may
make it. Now if it were true
that a woman, who can do any
thing besides making a pudding or
mending a stocking, docs these ne
cessary tilings less willingly and
well, than one who can do nothing
else; if it were true, as certainly
it is not, that a wife submits to con
jugal authority, just in proportion
as she is ignorant and uncultivated,
how can the great purpose of mar
riage, the mutual and reciprocal im
piovement of the moral and intel
lectual natures of the sexes, be pro
moted by a union upon such unequal
terms ; and what must w e think of u
husband “ asscz orguilleuscinent
modeste,” to wish from his wife an
unquestioning obedience, instead of
a sympathy of thought, and feeling?
It is sometimes urged that, if a wo
man’s mind be much enlarged, and
hei taste refined, she is apt to think
differently of the duties of life, to
require different pleasures from the
rest of her sex ; that her feelings
leave the channels which the insti
tutions of society have marked for
■ hem, and run not, and bring her
usefulness and happiness into dan
ger. Now the plain answer to this
*s, that these evils happen, not be
cause tier reason was cultivated, but
because it was not cultivated well ;
and because the taste and intellect
of women generally do not receive
'>ue culture

NEW YEA ft.
We respectfully congratulate our Pa
trons upon the return of another Annual
Jubilee
The close of a Year elicits from the
considerate mind many serious and impor
tant re flections. How have we improved,
or mis Improved our Time? Have we gar
ner’d it op, and like judicious economists
made the most of it?—or, have we, like
senseless profligates, lavished it in idle
ness and dissipation amidst the blandish
ments of fashionable fol ly ? If we have, it
is time to stop in our ruinous career—to
exercise some self discipline—to aim, at
least, a< reformation:—
“Time !—Eternity!
“’Tii Ihiie, mi, -measur’d, ruin Imlf mankind."
Does the syren voice of Pleasure lure
us to her arms? beware her seductions!—
like the Basilisk, she charms but to des
troy. Her bed of roses is covered with
them*—and the smile that brightens her
countenance is but the hectic flush of mo
ral disease! Then, beware, beware, her
seductions.
What is in the womb of futurity? Who
can tell? It may be fraught with go*d —it
may be fraught with evil. If good, do not
let ns abuse it, but receive the dispensa*
tion with gratitude—ls evil, let usremem
her that “Adversity wears a precious jew
el in her head”, and endeavor, like the
amiable Goldsmith, “to draw upon Con
tent for the deficiences of Fortune.”
MliS. FRENCH.
Our Musical Amateurs, and nil who
love the “ harmony of sweet sounds,” will
he pleased to hear that this amiable wo
man, and enchanting Vocalist has arrived
in our City, and announces her first Con
cert for this evening. We hazard nothing
in saying that the taste and liberality of
Auousta, will be particularly exercised
on Ibis occasion.
As we have not had the pleasure of
hearing Mrs. F. we cannot, critically,
speak of her performance. But, from
the numerous and respectable commen
dations which we have seen, we have no
hesitation in sajing, that the most san
guine expectations will be realised.
The following remarks Jfrom the Co
lumbia South-Carolina Stale Gazette, wil*
shew the reception Mrs. F. met with, in
the Capitol of that polite and literary
State.
The amateurs of vocal music must have
been amply gratified, the last evening, in
the extraordinary performance of Mrs.
Fii em u. It exhibited a full ex-amplifica
tion of that Lean ideal to which (he voca
list has so frequently aspired. Mrs.
French is no copyist. Her style of sing
i ig has nothing of the manner of Storac
chi or Calilini, or of the artificial warb
ling* of Uraham or Incledon. Her voice
has great depth and compass, along with
astonishing sweetness and clear intona
tion. It resembled more the tones of
some wind imminent, except that its
tine inflexions anti appealing cadences
were beyond any thing we ever heard
Indeed, where is the instrument, formed
by the art of man, that can, with all its
symphonies, convey to the feelings, even
a faint resemblance of that simple vocal
melody, which, while it conveys the finest
sentiments to the heart, tells us, that the
human voice, independent of language,
■stlie representation of the inward man.
“Down tin Burn, Davie Love,” was
warbled forth with all the Doric sweet
ness of Scotish ininistrelsy. We thought
her happy in her Gaelic dialect, and in
those “ melting numbers, long drawn
out,” peculiar to the music of the coun
trymen of Burns and Al'en Ramsay.—
“ Love sound the Trumpet of Joy,” ex
hibited a chaste specimen of the Bravu
ra. Indeed, were we disposed to dwell
upon the peculiar excellence of each of
Mrs. F’s. effusions, we should trespass
upon that space which we have herein
assigned to ourselves. We would mere,
iy notice, in concluding, that Mrs. F’s
enunciation is distinct and sonorous, and
that her pronunciation is pure, without
fastidiousness-

Case of Randall
On Tuesday, at a Court of Oyer and
Terminer, held at the City Hall, before
Win W. Van Ness, one of the Justices of
the Supreme Court of Judicature of trie
state, C, D. Golden Mayor, Peter A. Jay
Recorder, ami Samuel Tooker, one of the
Aldermen of this city, came on the trial
of Dr Arnnah Randall, indicted for the
murder ofllenry G. Dish row, one of the
con. - ■ ibles of the Tenth Ward, The fol
lowing is an outline of the case as it ap
peared in evidence. An execution had
issued out of one of the ward courts a
gainst the prisoner, and delivered to an
officer by the name of Slawson, who
with another person, went to the house
of Randall on the 18th of November last.
On informing the prisoner the nature u r
his errand, he stated, that it was not in his
power to pay the amount *hen hut that
he would pay it on that day week. The
officer then left the house -isitlinvi making
the levy. On the 251 h, he went again to
the house, and once or twice previous to
the 28th, but could not gain admittance;
at which time he spoke to a woman at the
window, who, on the trial, turned oat to
he the prisoner’s wife, She al’cged'tliat he
had not received the money where he ex
pected, and some other excuses, which in
duced the officer to suspect that some
trick would be played him, and determin
ed to enter the house. Accordingly he
hroko open the hack door, when lie was
immediately ordered by the prisoner to
leave his house, at the same time ap
proaching him with a hatchet in his hand.
The officer, with the person with him,
and who was the witness in the case, re
treated—the prisoner following them—
and when they had nearly reached the last
step to the door, the prisoner aimed a
blow at the head of the officer, with the
hatchet, which he warded off'with his
arm, in which he received a dreadful
wound. The witness immediatly took the
officer to a surgeon, with whom he left ■
him, and proceeded towards the Police
office for authority to apprehend the pri
soner. On his way thither he stopped at
the 7ih & 10th wards district court, where
he met several officers of the Police, who
told him that he might arrest the prisoner
without a warrant. Accordingly, he with,
Henry G. Disbrow, the deceased, consta
ble of the 10th ward, with some other
persons, proceeded to the house of the
prisoner, and immediately broke open the
door without first demanding entrance,
at least it did not satisfactorily appear that ,
he did so. On entering the house he dis
covered an axe, which he took possession
of, supposing it to be ‘the weapon with
which the prisoner bad wounded Slav son.
At this time the prisoner «-i, 0
