From the United Stoics Literary Gazette. LOVE ASLEEP. Wake him not . he dreams of bliss; His little lips put. forth a kiss; His arms, entwined in virgin grace, Seem linked in beautiful einorace. He smiles. —and on his opening lip Might saints refresh and angels sip; He blushes, —'tis the rosv light That morning wears on leaving n*rht. He sighs,—'tis not the sigh of wo ; He onlv sighs that he may know If kindred sighs another move, For mutual sighs are sighs of love. He speaks,—it is his dear ones name ; He whispers, —still it is the same ; The imprisoned accents strive in vain, They murmur through his lips agam. He wakes 1 the silly little boy, To break the mirror thus of joy ; He wakes to sorrow 7 , and in pain , Oh ! Love renew 7 thy dreams again. THE SISTER S By Mrs. Hemans. sne sleeps !—But not the free and sunny sleep That lifhtly on the brow of childhood lies ; Though happy be her rest, and soft, and deep, Yet, ‘ere it sunk upon her shadowed eyes, Thoughts of past scenes and kindred graves o'er swept I Her soul's mock stillness —she had prayed & wept. And now in visions to her couch they come, The early lost—the beautiful—the dead— That unto her bequeath’d a mournful home, W here with their voices all sweet laughter fled, They rise—the sisters o hei youth arise, As from the world where no frail blossom dies. And well the sleeper knows them not of earth — I Not as they were when binding up the flowers, Telling w 7 ild legends round the winter hearth, . Braiding their long fair hair for festal hours; j These things are past, a spiritual gleam, A solemn glory robes them in that dream. Yet if the glee of life’s fresh budding years, In those pure spirits can no more be read, Thence, too, hath sorrow melted—and the tears Which o’er their mother's holy dust they shed Are all effaced : there earth hath left no sign, . Save its deep love retouching every line. But oh, more soft, more tender, breathiug more A thought of pity than in vanished days ; While hov’ring silently and brightly o’er The lone one’s head, they meet her spirit's gaze; With their immortal eyes they seem to say, “ Yet sister—still we love thee—come away !” ’Twill fade, the radiant dream ! and will she not Wake with more painful yearning at her heart ? Will not her home seem yet a lonelier spot, Her tasks more sad, when those Dright shadow 7 * part ? And the green summer after them look dim, And sorrow’s tone be in the bird's wild hymn ? But let her hope be strong ! and let the dead Visit her soul in heaven’s calm beauty still! Be their names utter’d, be their memory spread Yet round the place they never more may fill ! AH is not over with earth’s broken tie— Where —where sfipuld sister’s love, if not on high? THE MOTHER TO HER CHILD. One kiss my boy, upon thy cheek— That cheek so young and bright, And once again I’d hear thee speak Thy softly lisped “good night.” Then rest, and not a shade of earth Can cloud thy slumber fair; Dark dreams from worldly cares have birth And thou hast nought of care ; O, why might not life s silver tide With thee thus ever smoothly glide ? Who gazes on the bloom of May, Nor sighs that all will wither ? And yet the blossom must decay, * Ere we the fruit may gather; And life's sweet morning buds of joy, Like spring flowers soon depart; And thou must change, yet wear, my boy, Life’s freshness in thy heart; Pure feelings, like the flower's perfume, Embalm the memory of its bloom. Man's lot, “ dominion o’* r the earth’’— Maketh his sinews strong, And that proud lot will lead thee forth, All ardent mid the throng : Life’s onward path is wrapped in night, And dangers are its fame ; Ambition holds its eagle flight, And spurns at quiet’s name ; And pleasure’s siren songs entice, And flowers conceal the precipice. O, wilt thou wander, then, my boy ? Away, ye idle fears ! Why shroud our sun of present joy, In clouds of future years ? There’s One will watch thee, tho’ I sleep, Where morning never shone ; There’s One thy faltering steps can keep, Would’st thou His voice were known ? Then list, amid the world's wild din, Tlie still small voice thy heart within. Instant death by Lightning. —On Tuesday the 10th inst. about 11 o'clock, A. M. Martin Shelly, aon of John Shelly, was struck dead by lightning at his father’s residence, two miles west of James town. We understand, that young Mr. Shelly was up stairs fixing a window near the chimney, where the rain was beating in from the violence of the storm, that his sister was standing near him, and another person in the same apartment; his sister was considerably shocked and fell, but re ceived no injury ; the other person not affected. (Jrecnsb. Fat.

York Commercial Advertiser. LATEST FROM ENGLAND. Three o'clock. We stop the press to announce the arrival of the packet ship Birmingham, Capt. Harris, from Liverpool, whence she sailed on the 13th of May , and to which date the Editors of the Commercial Advertiser have received files of English papers and Lloyd’s Lists. The Catholic Question was brought forward in the House of Commons, on the evening of the Bth ultimo, by Sir Francis Burdett. The Baronet s opening speech occupies eight columns and a half of dose print in the Courier. He concluded by moving “ that the House resolve itself into a com mittee to consider the state oi the laws affecting His Majesty’s Roman Catholic subjects in Great Britain and Ireland, with a view to such a final and conciliatory adjustment as may be conducive to the peace and strength of the united kingdom, to the’ stability of the Protestant establishment, and to the general satisfaction and concord of all classes of His Majesty’s subjects.” The motion was seconded by Mr. Brougham. The Solicitor- General followed in opposition to the motion, and Mr. Spencer Percival and Mr. M*. Fitzgerald sup-; ported it. Mr. O. Moore spoke against the mo tion, and having concluded his remarks, the debate was adjourned over to the evening of the Hth. On the 9th, the debate was renewed, and seve ral gentlemen spoke,, 4he principal of whom were Sir James Mackintosh in favor of the motion, and Mr. Secretary Peel against it. The debate was ! then adjourned over to the 10th. i lie House is very fuH, and it is calculated that the i division will be very close. I The report that Lord Palmerston has been ap pointed Governor of Jamaica, is contradicted. The bill for the repeal of the Corporation and Test acts, has received the Royal assent. Don Pedro, of Portugal, is involving his country every way. The Courier declares s tli<it the Con stitution is, in fact, abolished ; the Regency has , been destroyed; and Don Miguel has, in tact and J in deed, if not in words, assumed the crown. I M’nirs of the East. —There are no later dates from Constantinople,’ or the Pruth and Danube, than were received yesterday irfthe Paris papers; but there are a few additional particulars oi same dates, and we are enabled to add the opinions of ! the London Courier. The news from those ro- I gions continues of a warlike complexion. Ere this s ! the Russian armies are supposed to have crossed i the Pruth ; but there is not any certain intelli gence of the event having actually taken place. The most active preparations are making by the Russian army. Pontoniers are busily con structing bridges, and reinforcements of horse and foot are drawing nearer the Pruth. It is supposed that a double operation will take place at, the same time—that whilst the Russians on the Pruth will take possession of the Principalities, the Grand Army will cross the Danube and Reni and Ismael. „ The Courier of May 9, says: “The accounts which arrived here yesterday from Constantinople, have disappointed those who still clung to the hope that the peace of Europe might be preserved by the adoption of a more moderate tone on the part of the Sultan. He is determined upon war, and though he is acquainted with the sentiments of the allied powers, he still ,thinks they will not suffer the Turkish Empire to be destroyed. 1 his 1 is the substance of the last advices that, have been received by the way of Vienna, and to the know ledge of this determination we may probably im pute the change which is rumoured to have taken place in the European's plan of operations. It was supposed that he would, in the first instance, content himself with occupying the Principalities, and would not immediately cross the Danube. It is said now, however, that he will occupy the Principalities, and pass the Danube at the same time—pushing on towards Constantinople as quickly as possible.” The same paper says, it is pretended, in a Vienna article of April 26, to attribute the supposed delay in the Russian operations to the refusal of the Courts of London and Paris to fulfil a condition to which they had previously bound themselves, viz: the blockade of the Dardanelles—a refusal which had obliged Russia to change her plan of opera tions. There is not the least foundation for this statement. The only cause of delay if there has been any, is the backwardness of the season. London, M*. r 10. Half past seven.—We have heard it affirmed this morning, in a very respectable quarter that af ter crossing the Pruth by the Russian army on the 27th ult. a communication was forwarded to Oon stantinople, on the part of the Emperor, with pro positions, on a compliance with which by the Sul tan the further advance of the troops into t ie Tur kish territory would be prevented, fusse propo sitions are said to relate principally to tnree points: Ist, Reparation for injury sustained in sending a way Russian subjects from Constantinople, and for the seizure of cargoes of Russian vessels. 2d, Security against future recurrence of such inju ries. hd, The fulfilment of those conditions, on behalf of Greece, demanded by the three allied powers, in virtue of the treaty of the 6th of July, 1627. These statements are entitled to notice, be cause they are derived from sources of generally correct information ; but they are so much at va riance with probability, that it is impossible to place any absolute reliance on them ; and if these very moderate propositions should ultimately prove to have been made, it will rather lead to doubts of the sincerity of Russia, than the convic tion that her intentions with regard to Turkey have undergone so material a change. According to the German papers, the Russian army that was in Persia, is to move towards Rze rum, in the Asiatic Dominions of the Sultan. The acquisition of the Turkish fortresses in the land of the Kurds, will be essential importance to the Rus sians. LATEST FROM FRANCE. By the arrival ol the snip Pallas, Capt. Brown, from Havre, our New York cor respondents are in possession ot Havre dates to the 9th, and Paris to the Bth ult. inclusive The English intelligence has been anticipated From the New York morning papers of yesterday, we make the following extracts. — Phil. Gaz. TURKISH AFFAIRS By the latest dates from Constantinople, the Sultan is as resolute as ever. A Euro pean agent had requsted the Reis Etlendi to explain the Hatti-Scheriff ol December 20, in a sense less offensive to Russia, but received for answer that the language ol the Porte in that manifesto was nothing but the truth, and that any other language would be derogatory to its digimy. This is plain speaking, after the threatening ap proach of the Russian legions to the Tur kish frontier. The Sultan is represented as immoveable in his resolution, although the grandees of his empire are somewhat alarmed at the aspect of affairs. It is said that the Pachas now at Constantinople had petitioned the Sultan to avoid war if pos sible, but he and his generals were prepar ing for battle, and would not listen to them. It is stated (from Odessa) that the Rus sians have been making military examina tions in the gulf of Sisopolis, and they in tend to act from its shores against Coustan tinople and also the northern Turkish ar my—and that they have laid an embargo upon vessels of all nations, interdicting the VVhite as well as the Black Sea. A Tartar had arrived at Constantinople from the Dutch Consul at Smyrna, to the Dutch Minister resident. This Tartar had left Smyrna immediately after an aid of Gen. Guilleimnot reached that place The Reis Effendi demanded the nature of the message from the Dutch minister, but he refused to give any explanation! The accounts of the Pacha of Egypt having ordered his son to evacuate the JVlo rea, is not confirmed ; he has renewed his assurances of fidelity to the Sultan. An article dated Paris May B,says that the campaign is opened—that the Russian army was to cross the Pruth on the 27th of April; that the operations were to com mence with the seige of Bradaw and Ga latz. It is also stated that Nicholas was to issue a proclamation, and at the same time to address a 4 letter to the Grand Vizier, containing his ultimatum M. Minciaki, Russian charge at Bucha rest, has sent his family from that place, fearing a surprise from tne Turks In quietude and alarm augmented hourly at the latest dates from Bucharest. The Gazette de Augsborough gives the following speech of the Reis Eflfendi to the French Consul—Now tho Russian policy is unveiled instead of one war, she announ ces two ; the first for her own particular interest, the second for the pretended paci fication of Greece . Things must needs come to this point, to open the eyes of the European powers. The Sultan is constantly with his troops, partaking the same food, and exercising them constantly. His favorite manoeuvres are the charge lor his cavalry, and the at tack, in column, for his infantry. According to the Gazette de Augsburgh, the Divan firmly believed that France and England were about to declare themselves anew, allies ol the Porte. It may be so. An article from the frontier* of Bosnia, : dated April 8. says that a Capidschi Pacha arrived there on that day, and ordered the j Capanaks of Bosnia to report themcelves to ; him. The result of the interview between him and them divulged the object of this measure All the members of the Catho lic and Greek clergy departed to surrender | themselves at Salaros. A circumstance so J unexpected created alarm in both Christi- j ans and Turks. News from Odessa, announced great ac tivity in the military opeiations of the Rus- i sian army. FRANCK/ The Count Je Seze, the first President of the Court of Cassation, (who has just died of a lingering malady,) is spoken of in warm terms by the Paris Journals. He was itfe ad/ocate of Louis If), and distin guished himself in the defence of that un fortunate monarch. The arrival of Prince Ypsilanti is an nounced at Paris. The Universal Gazette of Lyons gives the following news from Toulon : “ That tiie troops, supposed to he desdued for the Morea, are about to take possession of the Balerrie Isles, ceded by Ferdinand 7th, in payment of the debt due from Spain to France; and that the Prince of Polignac is to smooths away all the difficulties raised by England on this subject.’ The author ity of me Gazette is doubted by the editor of the Havre Journal. The Chamber of Deputies is engaged in animated discussions, attended by the usual quantity of murmurs, movements, and great excitements. -Gen. La Fayette is announced as Piesi dent <f tne first Bureau de Chambre. Measures have just been taken by the French government, to puisne closely the Algerine corsairs that cruise off the coast of Sardinia. A few days ago one of them w<s sunk and another captured and sent to Toulon. A Berlin letter of the 25th ult, says — “ We understand that the I7th was the day fixed for the workmen to begin the bridges foi effecting the passage of the Pruth : and between the 22d and 28h all the troops are to he concentrated and ready to march. In the principalities apprehensions prevail that a Turkish corps will enter them for the sake of plunder before the Russians ar rive.” The following is an extract of a letter from M. Eynard dated Geneva, April £9 “ Colonel de Heideck writes me from Na poli di Romania, under date of March 8, that “affairs in Greece begin to wear a flourishing aspect now that Count Capo d’ Istria is at the head of the Government; confidence begins to be restored, and the creation of a national bank, into which con siderable sums have been already paid,will tend to consolidate the public credit, espe cially if he Powers, as we are led to hope, should assist this credit. Napoli di Roma nia is under my command, and the order so happily restored I shall take care to mainioin.’ The King of Bavaria has granted to Col. de Heideck, leave of ab sence for another year, in order that he mav continue to devote himself to the Greek cause. The funeral of the Count de Seze took ptace at Paris on the sth. i etlers from Lisbon state that Don Mi guel has abandoned his intention ol assum ing the title of King. A Lyons paper, states that when the Greeks were expelled from Scio, a consi derable number of Hellenists who had taken refuge in the house of the Dutch Consul were massacred, and the Consul himself put to death. M. de Chateaubriand is said to have re ceived the appointment of ambassador to Rome in place of the Duke de Laval, who is to go ti Vienna. A letter from Marseilles mentions, that a national ship had just sailed from Toulon, bound to the Morea, subject to the direc tion of Capo d’lstria, having on board mi litary intendanls, military, civil, and geo graphical engineers, and officers of artillery. The Toulon government expedition had not yet sailed. ‘The Moniteur contains a royal ordinance of the 4th, which calls into active service the reserve of the conscripts of 1825 and 1826. The day fixed for their departure from their respective homes is June 15th In consequence of this order, by which 120,000 men are called into active service, decline was expected, but the price vl Stocks has maintained its ground steadily. From Lisbon intelligence bad been re ceived to April 22. It appears that affairs remained in th ir. former state. The In-j fant was disposed to resist the instances of his mother, and to defer the execution of her projects. The Constitutionalists were still the objects of the outrages o their ad versaries. A violent quarrel had taken place the preceding Sunday, in the cum i of St Roche. The Constitutionalists be ing pursed after mass, defended themselves, shouting at the same time, “ long hve Don Pedro,” and there was great difficulty m separating the combatants. An epidemic had broken out in the Jesu it College at Madrid. The disease was communicated to one of the Royal Infants by his governor. The Infant Francis had left the Capital with ins family, in order to escape the contagion. From the Milledgeville Journal. The Judiciary. —The chief objection that has been urged against the present sys tem, is the want of uniformity in the deci sions of our tribunals. Each cucuit lms been said to have its own code of law, its own rules of practice, and its own system ol decisions. Our laws are necessarily impertect, tor they partake of the imperfections of all earthly things. They are to be expounded ; and where the intention of the legislature is at all obscure, or doubtful, it must be as certained with as much care as possib e, and defined with precision. This task —a very important one, and lull oi heavy les ponsihilities —is performed by eight men, ; entirely independent of each other, and ir responsible to any power, but public opin- I ion, the legislature, and their own consci ! ences Tncy have different modes ol think ing and acting. They see, perhaps, the very same thing, in totally different lights. They judge of tho intention of the framers of the laws by different rules, and where an ! appeal to facts is made for the purpose ol ascertaining that intention, it may so hap ! pen, that the same facts may not be pre sented to them, or the facts may he tiie same, and yet come before them distorted by passion or prejudice—very slightly even though it be, vet sufficiently so to produce perhaps insensibly a strong impression on their minds. Hence the very same provision of a law, in the course of the discharge of their func tions, may be brought before them in their different circuits The same points may be made by counsel : the same facts may be proved in connexion with the case to which the law is to be applied. Yet fr om the causes which have been mentioned the decisions involving perhaps property to an immense amount, may be widely dil ferent Hence what is law in one circuit is not law in another. This is the case, as regards the different circuits. But once in three years our judges in the same circuit are probably changed. Hence, in the same circuit, what was law under one man’s ad ministration is not law under that of ano ther. That which was lasv three years ago may not bo law now. What was law yes terday may not be law to-morrow, particu larly if an elecliou of judges intervene. So that in truth we have no law at all, if we take the term law to mean a permanent and i uniform rule of action. li, m this state ol things, wt> were to attempt to give a defini tion of the term, it might be said to mean eight different , separate , and independent , rules ol action on the same state of facts, which rules are permanent and uniform in themselves , only so long as the judge shall remain ol the same opinion, and for the space of three years, at farthest. Our state is proverbial for the fickleness of its legislation. It is meant by this, that important laws are often passed, and as of ten modified or repealed before the people, on w hom they are to operate, whose inter ests are to be affected, and whose conduct is to be affected by them, are well acquain ted with their provisions. It was but tne other day, that a plain countryman of ex cellent sense, who was engaged in the dis tribution of the acts of the last legislature, remarked in our office that it was useless to send cut all these books, for next year many of the laws they contained would per haps be repealed or altered. This showed very clearly in what light he was in the ha bit of regarding them. Though perhaps, just at that moment, the consideration that he had made a very hard bargain may have had some agency in prompting the remark. Some persons hav** compared these books to almanacs And the comparison is as ap propriate as any thing could be. It runs on all fours. Poet or rhetorician never mane a better. The great uncertainty, arising from these causes alone, in regard to what the law is one would think, would be an inconvenience scarely to be endured. But when to this issuperadded the uncertainty in regard Jo these laws, arising from the dif ferent construction put upon them by eight different, and independent expositors, the inconvenience becomes absolutely intole rable. Knowing that these grievous evils do exist—feeling the full force of them al most every day—finding that it is next to impossible to ascertain precisely what the law is, under the present system (and they can,jot avoid finding it out) —and under standing that the igrorance of the law fur nishes no excuse for the transgression of it, it is really a most remarkable thing that the people have so long, and so patiently en dured evils of such magnitude. It cannot be accounted for, unless it be referred to the sentiment adverted to in the beginning of these remarks, that the times were not suitable for reform. To attribute it to any thing else, would be to charge them with an indifference to their personal interests alto gether inexcusable. The picture we have drawn is by no means too highly colored. There is no ex aggeration about it. Every man who has attended to the administration of justice in our state, can bear witness to the accuracy of it. Many a man has felt the truth of it, in that most sensitive of all nerves —his pocket. In this extiemely uncertain state of things, what enn be more common than that a man should undertake to recover what he believes to be- his WolaJod rigim understate Jir\ from counsel or otherv,. that decisions have been repeatedly to suit his case exactly : and yet, idler ii ; , most patient investigation befuie the court and after spending large sums of money [,! doomed to find that the decision court is against him. Feeling peiluqj strongly thatfjustice is on his side, he-is ah. posed to • eliove that it has been denied him and he appeals from the decision.—. And to what does he appeal ? From Pluij,, drunk to Philip sober No. IJ is case rather worse than that. He appeals jY,, n , onejudge and jury to the-same judge and t different jury, res mg his case thee pi,, haps on a little different state of the f H , 1(J but precisely the same construction of th 0 law. This is mere mockery—the show justice, without un atom of substance. Ami so sensible are some men of this, that w () have heard of instances in which they have retrained altogether from the prosecufin, of causes in which common sense proclaim, ed that justice and equity were on their side, declaring that they would just assooq Stake the issue on the cast of a die, ns g 0 into our courts as they are at present orga nised; thus preferring to submit to mani fest, and perhaps serious injury, rather than avail themselves of the only means of rr, dress .furnished them by their While others of warmer temperament u>u der high excitement, regardless of conse quences, have been impelled to take redress into their own hands, thus disturbing the public peace, outraging public decorum,de basing the standard ol public morals, ami bringing upon themselves and their famil ies, evils incalculable. These remarks are written current cal amo ; —they are intended to bo geueiai— nothing like special personal allusion is io he understood in them. Much that has been suggested is perhaps already familiar to our readers. But familiar as it may be, it cumiot be too often repeated. Tk° Shull and Face. —Dr. Abernethy has his own particular way of saying things, and all that he does say is interestin').—. The following is au extract from one of his lectures. “ There is something to be mentioned to yon respecting the general form of the skull. Dr. Hunter and Camper turned their minds to it about the same time, and, I believe, without either knowing the in tention of the other. Camper drew a lino from the most projecting part of the fore head to the most projecting part of the up per jaw ; this he called a facial line- tins is Camper '* facial line. Now if you draw another hue through that in a horizontal manner, so as to pass from the base of tin nose along the opening of the ear, you will then have an angle—the two lines will have nearly all the brain betweeu them; and the greater the angle, of course the larger the brain. Here is the skull of an African—theangle is veiy small, recedes more and more from the perpendicular to wards the horizontal line. H3ie is a differ ent sort of skull, where the lines intersect each other at nearly right angles. Li this way Camper distinguished between varie ties of mankind and animals. I have bees sometimes talking to an artist over these specimens of statues left us by the ancients; what is the reason that we see in thera something that always fascinates us, at the same time that we see every thing exagge rated in them ? The ancients did exagge rate in their statues ; but theu there was so much delicacy, so much grace in ther ex aggeration, that you did not see it but )ou were fascinated ; their foreheads, toe in stance Look at them, and you see them coming forward—they overhang the rest of the face. You see they do not shelve away —they are broad and expanded. Animats, the brutes, have scarcely foreheads; the monkey s forehead, you see, recedes; and here is the djg’s forehead—it falls back completely. The ancients, therefore, with reason, gave a full projecting forehead to their statues, to dignify them—to mark, as it were, ihe striking difference there was between man and other animals. Now, the eyebrow is quite peculiar to man; no other animal has it —mark that. What did the ancients do ! Why they laboured that part of the human countenance with extraordi nary care ; for it is a part that is, in a par ticular manner, adapted to convey expres sion. The eyes, too, they managed in tho same way. Some of the inferior animate have their eyes so brought forward on th# surface of the face, that they can see side ways—they can see around them, and ewft behind them. That’s the case with the hare; tire poor timid animal car see behind him ; and so constantly does he keep looking backwards when pursued, that he will rush upon an obstacle right before him, and, as some* times happens in the chase, will absolutely break bis neck by the force with which h® rushes against it Now, this looking sid’* ways, at and about one, is the sign of a su 5 * pick us disposition. The ancients kne* this, and what did they do? They gave t® the faces of their statues eyes that looked straightly and directly on you—that look ca sternly forwards ; and ihey did this iu uf ‘ der to convey to the beholder that the bri* finals foil the very reverse of timidity* appreheusion, anti suspicion.
