Torture was applied in the case of Jan
Hobbes ; he had been guilty of theft, and
his guiit-cleaily appeared in evidence, but
it seemed to be necessary* beforo he could

extorted from him by torture.
Hendrick Jansen,“ for scandalizing” the

Tobacco.— -This plant was successfully
cultivated on Manhatten Island, so that as
as the sth of August, 1638, two in
spectors were appointed to inspect *• tobac
co, cultivated here tor exportation, ” arid
on the 19th of August, 1638, an order was
passed, stating, ‘“that the high character
our tobacco had obtained in foreign coun
tries, ” required heavy penalties to be in
flicted on those who adulterated that artic

imposed on all tobacco exported.

From the Evening Post.
This morning;we have been shewn a
beautiful ceder snuffbox, inlaid with gold,
which has been presented by the Duke of
Yoik, to the Rev. Mr. Dema'cst, of Tap
pan, in token of the grateful sense which
the Duke entertains of his respectful atten
tion to the remains of the late Major An
dre,’ which were disinterred from his
g’ ttud*. The cedsr, out of which the box
is curved, grew upon the grave and was
wnt to England with the sarcophagus,
which contained the bones of the;dcceased.
The following is a copy of the inscription
inside the lid ;
From
His Royal Highness the Duke of York,
To mark his sense

From the Richmond Compiler, June 5.
• BRACEBRIDGE HALL.”
This new work from the pen of Wash
ington Irvine is likely to have a great run
in spite of its costly price. It consists ot ‘
two small volumes* very elegantly printed
like the Sketch Book. But the price in
Philadelphia is gs—and in this city per
haps it is more. We regret this circum
stance; because it cuts off a great many
from the pleasure of reading the effusions
of his genius. It is a Luxury of Litera
ture, which is accessible to the rich ; it is
a pleasure that from the poor is “ quite cut
off.”
The work must be read by those who can
afford to pay for it—for it is the production
of a fine genius, who has,contrived even to
suddue the violent prejudices, which were
entartained against American Literature
amongst the English people. He is among
the most popular Writers of the age; for his
descriptions are amongst the most striking
we have ever seen; his style is, as he choos
es to vary it, both r.umorous and pathetic,
Hein in the particularity of his paintings
the Crabbe of modern prose writers.
Bracebridge Hall consists of a series of
sketches. Some of them are too low, like
those of Crabbe; but they have a force
from their very minuteness and resem
blance to nature* which nothing but the
most critical and comprehensive observer
coold possible reach* What will thevrea
der think, for instance, of his description of
a dull inn on a rainy Sabbath day f Eve
ry part of it secmß elaborately drawn from
the life; but are there not many features
which might well have been spared ?
A Northern Editor has noticed the facts,
that Mr. Irvine preserves all his love for
America, but he contrives to pay some ve
ry dextrous compliments to English preju
dices. For instance, how adroit is the fol
lowing.; and yet when strictly (analyzed,
into what mere sophistry does it resolve
itself!
“Brought up, says Mr. Irvine, as I have
been, in Republican habits and principles,
I can feel nothing of the servile reverence.
for titled ran/c merely because it is titled.
—But I trust lam neither churl nor bigot
in my creed. Ido see and feel, how her
editary distinction, when it falls to the
lot of a generous mind* may elevate that
mind into true nobility, it is one of the
effects of hereditary rank, when it falls
thus hapily, that it multiplies the duties,
and as it were, extends the existence .f
the possessor. He. does not think himself
a mere individual life in creation, respon
sible only for his own brief term of being.—
He carries back his existence in proud re
collection, and he extends it forward in
honorable anticipation. He lives with his
ancestry, and lie ißes with his posterity.”
ca^ni ateiiu. pi’ with
the various and multiplied relations which
a republic creates between her citizens and
he* self * with the energy which is inspired
by the cuiiciousnesS of that importance to
which his own exertions and merits nay
raise the citizen of a republic, and Who
will compare a self-raised Washington and
Jefferson with a man who derives conse
quence from titles and birth? Nay,
even in England how do all the nobility
sink by the side of Chatham and of Shake
spear ? We do not admire this courteous
spirit in Mr. Irvine—lt might well be
limited without injuring the nerit of his
works: An American would prefer to see
in his cuuutrymen a less ductile disposi
tion.
