Under this lugubrious title. Major Noah, of the New-York Enquirer, publishes the following list of griev ances, from which it seems he fears his friends will kill him with, kindness. It is only in the city of Ncw-York where Editors of newspapers are in danger of being surfeited on turtle soup and Madeira, or oyster suppers: —in other places, after cudgelling their brains until they become as •dry as the remainder biscuit,’ Edi tors are left to suck their paws, like the bears, or what is about the same tiling, are compelled to live on promises, or thank you, sir The miseries of Printers and Edi tors have been frequently detailed to the world, and are too numerous to repeat ; but there is anew misery to which they are subjected, and which threatens to be most fatal— namely : being killed with kindness, stuffed to death with good things, plunged into turtle soup and drown ed in punch or claret. Scarcely a day elapses without finding a few bil lets doux on our * elbow-chair’ run ning thus: Ofiy The ‘ Goose and Gridiron’ "ill be happy to see the Editor this evening, to partake of oysters, ter rapins and partridges Hoboken Club gives anothe r dividend to-morrow, at Turtle Grove.

After publishing the above list ot invitations, our Iriend Buckingham, the able and indefatigable Editor ol the jVeic England Galaxy, and also of the Boston Courier daily pa per) thus indignantly hold th forth:- Now mark the difference between New -York and Boston.

Verdy these tilings ought not so to be. If g ntlement long tor such blessed no toriety as can be obtained from com plimentary paragraphs in the n ivs papers, they must be more civil to the printers, those ‘ honest chroni clers’ of the times. For one, toe have come to a resolution to do no thing in this way hereafter without a quid pro quo, or at least the offer of some kind of a quid. Ship-launches house-warmings, sign-raisings, cor ner-stone-laying, and such like, will we notice hereafter, when, and only when, we are invited to partake of the appropriate and customary colla tion. Gentlemen stage-proprietors, who wish a word or two said in favour of the superior speed and accommo dation of their respective lines, must send us a ticket for one trip gratis. Our friends who are about to enter the happy state of matrimony, we shall not tax with an invitation to be present at the ceremony; that can be dispensed with; but we shall publish no blessed change in their circumstances that is not acompani cd with a pretty generous slice of the wedding cake. Wc may possi bly, as a piece of every-dav informa tion, si!}’, ‘ Married in this town, Mr. A. B. toM iss C. D.’ but such a bar-! ren annunciation suits the taste of a very few persons. Every body wish es. i.. these cases, that the printer should be particular, and likes to see a paragraph in some degree pro portionate to the magnitude of the event, as thus : ' Married last eve ning, at the mansion of A. B. Esq by the Rev. C. D., E. F. Esq. mer chant of this city, to Miss G. 11., on ly daughter of the late Hon. I. K.’ kc. kc. There is another misery to us edi tors of Boston, which is a crying grievance : Authors and publishers expect us to notice their works as they issue from the press, but it never perhaps entered their heads that to procuro a favorable notice tiiev should send each of us a copy. No—they are angry if wc are silent, and angrier still if we do not buy the : r books ; they first shave us, (for who would not shave us) for our money and then expect to use our razor to shave others. This topic is becoming serious, and we are reminded by a circular which now lies on our desk, that it is time to treat it in a serious way. This circular is from the Boston Li brary, stating among other things, that ‘ several years having elapsed Miice any notice of it wss circulated, its condition is not generally known,’ and finally asks our attention, and that of our friends to the subject. W herefore should xce give our atten tion, and that of our friends to this circular? The income of our labors does not authorise the purchase of a share in the library for ourselves or family, and if we arc not a stock holder, the attention of our friends, or the money of our friends, (which is all that is meant) can do ws no good.—The treasures of literature and science contained in the Boston Library are as useless to us, as if they were in the imperial library at Pekin. If, in the course of our la bors as editor we should wish to ex amine a date, or refer to a historical fact, (and as many such cases occur in a year) to settle doubt, or to en lighten ignorance, we cannot avad ourself of the books and documents in the Boston Library ; they are to us as utterly unapproachable, and would continue so, though wc could persuade every friend we have in the world to become a stockholder. So it is with the Athcneuin—the most valuable collection of books in the United States an institution for which Boston has become generally celebrated—but which is of no more benefit to the citizens of Boston, generally, than it is to tliose of tbi imperial city above mentioned. I would hardly be believed in sotn other cities, if it were told, that r>< more than a fiftieth, and perhaps n tore than a hundredth part, of « i itizeus receive the slightest benci rum this superb collection ; y othing is more true. It is one he most aristocratic institutions or country ; and we never bar -certaincd that it has been of an other service, than to grat» llx tibicruut artes, pacisquc imponcre morem, parcere subjectis et debellare superbos.— Vikgil. Milledgeville, Tuesday, February G, 1827. fy the pride of some of the block head proprietors, who often introduce visiters from distant places, to look at books which they themseiv s never read, and to admire the pro ductions of wisdom, learning and inspiration, which they cannot under stand. Tbo printers of this place, we believe, have been pretty hand somely taxed to enrich the library oi tins institution, but we never learnt that their benefaction had been re ciprocated. If it is any advantage to have newspapers, and to have them well conducted, it is certainly good policy to grant to editors such facilities as can be granted, when the accommo dation costs nothing. Above all, individuals, societies, or corporations who seek the advantage of gratui tous notices, ought to reciprocate the favour; and if they have libraries, let them open the doors of their res pective institutions to editors, at least so far as to authorise them to make references and extracts, when they wish to do so, for the purpose of correction and illustration.-A/*. Rep. j Arren—we too. MISS LIVERMORE. Our readers may have observed in our columns, recently, notices ol Miss Livermore’s intention to preach at the Capitol and elsewhere. Our engagements have not allowed us to attend her preaching, had we wished to do so. Those, who have heard her, speak highly of her natural gifts, and some are even enraptur ed by her eloquence. Among the latter is the esteemed Lady who is the author of the following Letter, of which we have been allowed to take a copy for publication It is addressed to the daughter of the writer, who resides in a distant part of th country. "Washington*, 9th Jan. 1827 J\ly Beloved Child: —l witnessed a scene yesterday, so novel and im pressive, that I cannot forbear at tempting a description of it. I say attempting, for the sensibilities were more strongly affected than the senses, cons quently a just delinea t*»n is very difficult. It had been rumored for some week -, that a wo man of considerable pretensions had solicited in vain for permission to preach in the Representative Hail at (he Capitol. So you sec, after all the professions of veneration for our sex, made by mankind, when tested by their acts they say “What good thing can come out of Nazareth.” Thanks to the Christian Pastors of Georgetown; thev invited her to their Churches, from whence the fame eloquence spread through the City curiosity prevaled over illiberal prejudice, and she was invi ted to preach at the Capitol. W attended at an early hour, and found the ball lobby, and gallery, so com pletely tilled that it was almost im possible to get admission: And I am told the avenue itself was full of persons excluded. When I looked round and saw the numerous audience, greater than 1 had ever seen on any firmer occa sion, I trembled for the yet unseen female who was to address them.— At lenght she appeared, attended by a friend. Her figure is good, her height somewhat above medio crity, her face pale, perhaps some would say plain, but pleasing, and indicative of great serenity and goodness. They were both' dress ed in a style so simple and neat, you would have taken them for Quakers. She asceneded the Speaker’s Chair, and her friend seated herself by her. She commenced, in the usual man ner, by prayer and singing. She then read the 112th psalm in a voice somewhat hurried and tremu lous, and selected her text from 2d Samu 1, 23d chap, part of the 3d and all of the 4th verses—“He that ru ieth over men must be “just, ruling “in the fear of God. And he shall "be as the light of the morning, "when the sun riseth, even a morn “ing without clouds, as the tender “grass springing out of the earth by “clear shining after rain.” The President, and many mem bers of Congress, were present.— From her text, you will readily per ceive her address was intended prin cipally for the rulers ofthe nation.— But she embraced the whole multi tude— he rulers of schools—the ru lers cf families: and, as individuals, the rulers of our passions. Her language was correct, per ttasive, and, judging by mv own feelings, the ptofound attention and vmpathy ofthe audience, extreme eloquent. Many wept even sob mg. C. first yielded to tho gen r.il impression, and even 1, although • used to the melting mood, 1, who •ought my heart was seared by af •ction, and niy eyes dried by wcep *r found that heart relenting, aod oso eyes dissolving in a, trickling »ia'" j Judging, as I said, by my own feelings, and I have no other test, 1 should say she is the most eloquen. preacher I have listened to since the days of Mr Waddell. But no language can do justice to the pathos of her singing. F.*>r when she closed by singing a hymn, that might with propriety be termed a prayer, in which she asks the di vine perfections of each sacred char acter recorded in Scripture, her voice was so melodious, and her face beamed with such heavenly good ness, as to resemble a transfigura tion, and you were compelled to ac cord them all to her. I could have listened from morn till noon, and from noon till dewy eve of Summer’s day. It savoured more of inspira tion than any thing I ever witnessed; and to enjoy the frame of mind which I think she does, I would relinquish the world. Call this rhapsody if you will: but would to God you had! heard her! I think you would have \ felt as I did, and I may add, as I now ; do.” National Int. j , When nonce celebrated actress | made her cnire as Lady Toienley, j some rears since in Dublin, three high-bred women of fashion in the stage-box grossly annoyed her by talking loud, coughing, kc. The actress, greatly distressed, stopped, burst into tears, and r tired. The ladies unabashed, for a moment en joyed their triumph, when a great uproar ensued, arid go on go on, was heard from all parts of the house At length a young collegian jumped on one ot the benches in the middle ot the pit, and exclaimed to the au dience, "My friends who are abou: me are determined that the play shall not go on, till those three drun ken gentlemen in women’s cloths leave the stage-box.” This address was universally applauded, and the amnzonians retired in the utmost confusion, amidst the shouts and hisses of the spectators. INTERESTING TRAIN OK INCIDENTS. If the reader has ever read the account of which the following is {the substance abridged, as it has ap jpenred in various papers, he will not regret to be presented with it again in this concise form. The ac count is given by Rev. Leigh Rich mond, as having been related by a minister in a meeting of the British and Foreign Bible Society. A drunk ard was one day staggering in drink on the brink ol tbe sea His little son by him, three years of age, be ing very hnngry, solicited him for something to cat. The miserable tat her, conscious of his poverty, and ofthe criminal cause of it, in a kind of rage, occasioned by his intempe rance and despair, hurled the little innocent into the sea, and made off with himself. The poor lit i 1 suf ferer finding a floating plank by his side ou the water, clung to it. The wind soon wafted him with the plank out to soa. A British man of war passing by, discovered the plank and child ; and a sailor at the risk of his lile, plunged iuto the sea, and brought him on board, lie could iulorm little more than his name was Jack, They gave him the name of poor Jack. He’ grew up on board that man of war, behaved well, and gained the love of all the officers and men.—lie became an officer of the sick and wounded department. During an action in the late war, an aged man came under his care, near ly in a dying state lie was all kindness and attention to the suffer ing stranger, but could not save his lit . The aged parent was dying ; and thus addressed this kind young officer. ‘For the great attention I you have shown me, I give you this only treasure 1 am possessed of— (presenting uim with a bible bearing the stamp of the British and Foreign Bible Society.) It was given me bv a iady ; —has been the means of my conversion ; and iias been a great comfort to me.—Read it ; it will lead you in the way you should go.” lie went on* to confess the wicked ness and profligacy of his life before the reception of his bible : and among other enormities, how he once cast a little son three years old into the s a, because he cried to him lor needed food! The young officer inquired of him the time and place, and found here was his own history Reader, judge if you can, of his feel ings, Jo recognize in this dying old man, his own father, dying a peni tent under his care ! And judge of the feelings cf tile dying penitent, to fird that this same k : ml young stranger was his son, the very son whom he had thus plunged into the sea; and had ao idea but he him immediately perished !

On closing this story, the minister in the meeting of the Bible Society, bowed to the Chairman, and said, “ Sir, I am poor Jack.”. Nantucket, Oct. 21. Curiosities of Penamanship. —Wc have just examined some specimens i of chirography, executed by a female ot this town, which, for ingenuity surpass every thing of the kind, pro bably in this country-they arc imita tions of typography, so exactly re rcmbling the impressio sos types about the size of long primer, as to mock the nicest scrutiny. What is more remarkable however, and which will scarcely be believed, some of the specimens consist of three books, comprising nearly 200 pages duodecimo, of closely and ac curately printed matter, all the work of the pen! Whatever may be thought of so. singular a taste, these ' productions are certainly most aston ishing monuments of patience, ex hibiting the powers of that wonder ful instrument the pen, in a very ex- ' t traordinary manner.— lnquirer. Creat ripple. —Mr, Samuo Rice, of New-Salem, Mass, gathered from a tree in his orchard this year, an apple, which weighed one pound and five ounces. —Gazette Geneva, April 21.—A lit(lr* piece of news was published here a few days ago of a very piquant nature, the details of all the horrors lately committed in a village of the Can ton of Zurick, by a troop of fanatics. It describes a sad state of libertinism, and ferocity. A young woman, who had lived for some time a very irregular life, persuaded herself, all at once, that God demanded her life to obtain, at the price of her blood, the salvation of sinners. Sho sue ceeded in making her family adopt this idea. One of her sisters, under her tuition, devoted herself also to death. They armed the hands of their pareuts and friends, and ex pired slowly under their blows. According to their express, com mands, they were fixed io crucifixes and their executioners waited pa tiently for three days in expectation oi their resurrection, agreeable to the assurances of the young pro phetess. The murderers, and their accomplices, to the number oi eleven having among them the father, a brother, sisters, and the lover of the principal, have been condemned to imprisonment and hard labor for life, or for a period of years in proportion as they took a more or less active part in the horrid scene of carnage. The house where this deed was per petrated has been demolished, and it has been forbidden to build an other on the spot. From au English pnprr.

From the eighth Report of the American Asylum for the deaf and dumb, at Hartford Con. Extract iroin a paper, written by a young la dy of 27 years of age, giving some o! h' r opinions belbre she had receiv ed instruction:— /i hat I thought of the sun, moon and stars, before 1 came to the Asylum. I wished to look at the sun which was very brilliant as the gold, but I could not see it. I thought the sun was like a man who was a soldier.- lie wore his crimson dress, and stood on the sun, while he governed over all mankind every day. I was much troubled by the heat of the sun. I told my sister that lie was very cru el to us, and I wanted to touch him, hut 1 was disappointed, because l was too far from him. While the sun was coming up, I pursued to catch him in tbo east, hut I could riot do it. I believed that ho was very artful. 1 was playing in the garden in the summer without a bon- net. My friends told mo that hti would make mo black, and I did not | believe about it. There was rcu j son that lie could make the brown cloth on the grass white They were excited to laugh. In the after , noon, the clouds began to become very black and I considered that the sun was melted wit h the lightning. The thunder was heard, and I could feel it. He threw a large ball, go ing down the sky. Then the sun set v, as running under the earth, and he became the moon all night. In (lie morning he held a large candle which was hot all day, while he was walking towards the west. I sat on the door* of the house in the evts oing pleasantly, and I looked up the new moon going down the west. A few days ago, when I ivas walk ing alone to the neighborhood, the halt moon followed me, and I did not wish her to come. I thought I was deal and dumb, and she was very curious. The moon was full, and became the darkness in her face like a picture. I asked my friends what was the matter with her? They said that they did not knowlwhat. When l went to my chamber, I extinguish ed a candle and was afraid of her, and 1 shut the window all night, be cause I disliked to be seen by her.— I was very anxious to take refuge.— I advised her not to folhv me, but she was still obstinate. When it was dark, the moon would not come up all night, and l was gl:ul to hear of it. There were many stars in the sky which was very pleasant. Why did they stay there? I talked with my soul, and it was necessary that they lived. I went out of the house and [ contemplated that they had large parties pleasantly in the eve ning. They were riding, while they held their beautiful candles with their eves. When I was a girl, I frequently went away, and w as struck ! to look up a star which was going I into fire with fear.—l thought it ! was like a gun, and I ran and-enter jcd to call my sister to see the star. 1 asked her w hat was the matter with it? She answered that it would kill me. I was very afraid of it, and I told her that I would go away no more in the evening. I looked up the sky, and called my friends to see the milky way. I said, “some body covered there with the cloth." I truely saw a comet which was fallen from the sky, and I trembled with terror. I wondered that I had never seen it before. I expected i that some nation was hurried with 1 fire in the distant country. 1 did not know who made these, and I was very ignorant not to think that God was a creator of the uuiversc.
