He went to tho windows of those who slept, And over each pane like a fairy crept, Wherever he breathed, wherever he stepped, By the light of the moon, were seen Most beautiful things. There were flowers and trees, There were bevies of birds, and swarms of beci.— There were cities, thrones, temples and towers! and these All pictured in silver sheen. i But he did one thing that was hardly fair; He went to the cupboard, and finding there, That oil had forgotten for him to prepare, "Now, just to set them a thinking, I’ll bite this basket of fruit,” said he; “This bloated pitcher I’ll bite in three!

Wo learn that the tragedy entitled The Moor ish Bride, (the production of an American ladf' which obtained the Pelby prize of 8500, will soon produced on the Philadelphia boards. The great merit of this tragedy makes us particularly glad that it is to be first acted in this city. Judg- mg from_ the impression which a perusal of the manuscript has left upon our minds, we should anticipate decisive success and permanent popu larity for it in case it be well represented. What has all merit for the closet, may not be perfectly adapted for the stage ; we regard this compost tion as calculated to win favor evory where. ■ ■ Nat. Gaz.

In a New York paper, we find tho following: Caution.—A schoolmaster in Rensselaer couu ty, New York, has been fined one thousand dol lars for kissing one of his femalepupils. Tho case of the gallant, gay Lothario, is thus wittily sketched by another contemporary: A Hard Case.—A Yankee schoolmaster—a teacher of Chirography—not long since located himself in Rensselaer county, New York, and commenced a school under the most favorablo auspices. He gathered around him a score of pupils, most of whom were of the fairer order of creation. One, in particular, was we understand, a very angel in features; one of our beautiful country maidens, which spring up in their seclu sion, fair as the wild flowers in their nativo val- lies. As might have been oxpected she played iniquity with the heart of the schoolmaster. Day after day he sat by her side,—guided her taper fingers, and felt her dark tresses lightly sweep ing his cheek, as she loaned with him towards the manuscript. It was too much—human philoso- >hy could not stand it. Iu a luckless moment, to pressed his lips to her cheek, and imprinted upon it one of those kisses in which " The lip lingers like some bee Sipping a favorite flower.” And tvhat think you, gentle reader, was tho re sult of all this? Why—the unfortunate chirogra- pher was prosecuted for his lecture on kissing, and turned adrift with a fine of 81000 hanging over his shoulders, liko tho pack of Bunyan’s pilgrim. Far be it from ns to undervalue the charms of tho youug lady; but really, if she sets such an exorbitant price upon her cheek, it will bo a long day wo opine, before sho has ano ther opportunity to exact it. Singular Conflict.—Last week, Mrs. Savago of tho Bluo Bell Inn, Market Place, Newark, hoariug a great noise in the stables belonging to tho house, which are situated at the top oftho yard, proceeded cautiously, and opened tnedoor, when to her astonishment, she beheld a most ter rible engagement betpreen ono of her heus and a large male rat, which continued for somo lime, but ended in favor of the hen, who killed Ute rat. Nothing could exceed the fury of the attacks of the hen, which tlie rat could not evade, nor could it get away, although it attempted several times, for whenever it run, she seized it by the neck, flung it back, and then pouncing upon it with her beak, tore tho flesh every time. It is supposed the engagement arose from tho rat at tempting to seizo one oftho ben’s chickens as it passed aloug, when the hon, not considering her own danger, immediately flew at tho rat, and placing herself bciwccu it and tlie chickens, kept him from them uutil he was destroyed.—Staro- ford Champion ■ A large Apple.—Wo have been shown a very largo Apple, which weighed 23 ounces and meas ured 15} inches in circumference. The apple appeared to be perfectly sound, and was or the kind called Pound Sweeting. It was from the farm of Mr. Gcorgo T. Wager, of Brunswick, in this county.—Portland Advertiser. New Virtues of Gold.—hi. Magendie has mado a favorable report to the Royal Academy of Sci ences of Paris on the efficacy of gold "in acting favorably on tho digestive organs, without weak ening tho patient, and at tho same time producing an exliiliration of spirits." (We had supposed, by the bye, that tins was an old discovery.] Ho says, there are "four ways in which jt may be aacantageously administered. First, metallic gold reduced to a state of extreme division; second, the oxide of* chloride with potash; third, the ox ide of gold with tin; fourth, the pcrchlorido of gold and sodium. Of these the last b by far tho most powerful. It is applied by mixing three p arts of tlie percbloride of gold and sodium with nine parts of any inert powder, and administer ed by way of friction on tho tongue, in doses, va- rymg according to circumstances, from one-thir tieth to one third of a grain per day. As much as a grain has been given with safety, but this requires care. This is the least expensive of all , tbe preparations of gold.” These applications ere made in cases of syphilis, in lieu of mercury; of which the work professes to give several strik ing and well reported cases. New light is thus continually breakiug in upon us from the labors of scientific men. The wav in which it was most frequently and certainly administered, to the advantage of the patient, and for tho cxhili- ration of his spirits, was quantum suf. of a dose applied to tho palms of his hands. The great difficulties in these cases, was to know, first, how much was proper for a dose, and secondly, where it was to be obtained.—Richmond Compiler, In tho year 1818, tho first attempt was made to establish a systematic intercourse by sea between this City and New Orleans, by putting up one small ship as a regular trader. Thu fall, tue arrangements of tho lines will include twenty fine ships, besides a great number of transient vessels.—New York Paper. The bandit Nat Turner.—We understand (says tho Richmond Enquirer of the 18th inst.) by a letter from Fincaslle of tho 12th instant, that a negro man named Billy, belonging to Mr. Ken- nelly, was arrested on tho 10th inst. on a charge of being concerned with Nat Turner in raising an insurrection iu Botetourt county. He was carri ed before an examining court tho next day and sent on for further trial. It was generally sup posed, that Nat had been in tho neighborhood for several days before ho was seen on Prico’s Mountain. Tho testimony against Billy was not very cloar, but “I think (says our corrcspoudcnt) he only wanted an opportunity to do mischief.” “I called at Mr. Price's os I came over the mountain, on Monday last, to see the book and clothes taken from tho negro supposed to be Nat Turner. Mr. Price told me that a few days af ter he was seen, somo freo negroes from the neighborhood came to his house to make ar rangements to set out immediately for Ohio, which induced him to bcliove Nat was among them. He accordingly equipped himself, and re paired to the free negroes’ house. Several of them told him a negro man had been there, and described him as agreeing almost directly with tho Governor’s description of Nat Turner. Mr. Price shewed me a coat and book taken from him. The coat was a blue cloth one, such as are gen ed and standing collar. In tho book was writ ten “Mcsbeck Turner”—and in another placo "richman whether, bis book”—tho latter in a negro or child’s manner of writing, and I think intended for Richmond Wheeler—probably somo negro’s name. IIo has not been heard of sinco that timo." Supposed death of Nat Turner.—Wo arc favor ed (says tho Richmond Compiler of tho 17th in stant) with the following letter addressed to the Governor, received by the last western mnil: t Lewisburg, October 11. Dear Sir—I have received information [to me] so convincing of the fact that Nat Turner has been drowned in attempting to cross New Rivor, and believing it will be some satisfaction to tho public to know that the wretch has been mnished by tho justice of the Deity for his of fence, I think it proper to communicate tho cir cumstances to you. It appears that, after es caping from tho two hunters on Price's Mountain, he was routed at the Gap Mills in Monroe, and seen bv several persons between that and Bow- ycr’s Ferry, where ho called on tho 25th ult. to get over the river. Mr. Bibb, the ferryman, de manded bis pass and asked him some questions, at which he broke and took up the river. Some uine or ten days after, a drowned person was seen floating by tho Ferry. Mr. Bibb and somo of his neighbors followed, and got him out somo six or eight miles below. He had in his pockets and about him a large knife, [Spanish] dirk, pis tol, and something like a diamond.* Mr. Bibb recognized this person to bo tho same, who call ed to cross the river—and all with whom I have conversed agree, that if it were Nat Turner who was seen on Price’s Blountoin, it was he who has been drowned; aud that ho suits the description given in your Excellency’s proclamation in every particular, except tho knot on bis arm, which was not examined. Very respectfully, your most obedient servant, GEORGE ALDERSON. To the Governor of Virginia. * Another letter speaks of (t as a watch. guard kept up night and day. A white woman was arrested at North West Fork Bridge, (about twenty-two miles from this placo) under tho fol lowing circumstoncos: "A black man communicated to Dr. Nichob (our representative) and Mr. Kcnnon, that there was a white woman from Philadelphia, sent to instruct tho negroes how they might succoed iu their conspiracy. Ho told them that ho know ho was not a witness against a white person, but that if they would come to his house that evening, (she was to bo there) they should hear for them selves. Thoy did so, and heard what sho had to say: she told tho black man that if they wonted arms, to write on to the Bishop of the Bcthlemito Church in Philadelphia, and ho would furnish them, together with such advice as thoy might want in their undertaking. She was immediate ly secured and sent to this place and lodged in jail to await her trial." Free Negroes.—Petitions to tho legislature are circulating for signatures in Virginia, calling the attention of that body to the subject of freo ne groes, and suggesting the propriety of adopting measures for their removal from the State. Tho recent movements of tho people of color in Virginia and North Carolina, have justly a- wakened public attention to that class of popula tion, and nave produced a general convictiou that congress should seriously take tho subject of co lonization in hand. A correspondent of tho Rich mond Whig recommends the appropriation oftho surplus revenuo (after tho national debt shall have been paid) to this object, and wo cheerfully respond to tho recommendation, for we believe that tho money could not bo better expended.— The sovcral legislatures of the slave-holding States would doubtless co-operate with congress. —Baltimore American. Correspondence oftho N. Y. American Advocate Newburyport.—This town previous to the war employed -a large amount of tonnage in the for eign trade, but sho suffered severely in conse quence of it, in common with other places, whoso principal business consisted in freighting their ships "to distant climes.” It contains aboutsev- en thousand inhabitants, and iB fast gaining its lost ground. It is situate at tho mouth of tho Mcrrimac, on tho right bank of that river, and being built on tho "hillsido," presents a livoly and pleasing appearance.

A company of enterprising gentlemen have commenced the manufacture of hosiery in oil their variety; and the factory is in the centre o f the town. Tho machinery is the invention of a clergyman, and was causod by seeing his “lady lovo” knitting in the common Way.

Some of the work shown was very fino and beautiful. Stock ings aro also manufactured by machinery in Philadelphia, but there b no regular establishment there for that purpose. There aro probably one hundred looms in use, but tboy are scattered through tho city. There are two in Reed street in your city. In Boston there is a regular estab lishment of twcuty-eignt looms.

About fivo miles from here the towns of Ams- bury and Salisbury are divided bythePowaw, a small riverwhich empties into tlie Mcrrimac near by. On this stream there are two extensive Flannel manufactories. The ono in Amsbury runs 2600 spindles, 55 looms, employs 200 hands, three-fifths of whom aro females, and turn out 325 pieces of forty-six yards each, weekly, w 777,400 yards annually; and consumes nearly 300,00011)9. of wool.
