^Hawkins having been conveyed to St. Au*

\Vo regret to afnto that on Sunday lost,
the 24th May, Wm, Allison M’Rea, Esq
whilst lie was passing along tlio street about
fl o’clock in I ho ovening, roceived tlio con
teutH of two loaded guns in his body. On
the second fire lie fell, and was taken into
the firtt house, and expired in n fnw hours
nftor. A corunor’d inquest was held over
hfs body, whose verdict was as follows
“ We, tho Jurors, duly sworn to examine
the body of Win. Allison M’Reo, now lying
dead before tip, and report tho canto of bin
death, do say, that on a caroful examination,
we find that he had received eight wounds in
liii right arm,night wounds in his right groin,
hip and (high ; six in tlio left groin, hip and
thigh, and tlml in our opinion they were the
causoofhis death,and from tliooividonco bc-

Wm. A. Burt, a citizen of Michigan, has
recently invented a machine for printing (ot

of the space of a common piano forte, and a
young lady, acated at it, and employed iu
printing a letter or card of invitation, would
appear in tho ismo attitude as in playing
upon her piano forte. It will require a few

The pout Tannahill is justly celebrated for
his many sweet Scottish songs. Ilis short
life of poverty and unfortunate death are
probably known only to tlio peasantry of his
own country nnd the curious in biography.
Poor Tannahill. stunt? with indignntiou from
a sense of mortified prido. and, as ho con
ceived, hopes blasted irremediably, rushed
from a merry circle where he lind spent the
^Levrning. and'rashly put an end to all his
s ^^barthly troubles by drowning himself near the
place of bis nativity.
Many months previous to his death he had
become gloomy nnd abstracted, nnd contem
plated self-destruction with n fearful cohipo-
sure. The following words solemnly ad
dressed, and written by n brother poet on the
evo of committing a similar act, wore ever on
bis tongue:
*?• " so rffit.nni
" Good Heavens! the niyutory of life captain,
, Nor lot me think I hour the load in vain, *
I.est, with the tedious journey cheerless grown,
Urg’d by despair, I throw die burden down.”
Tuniialiill long had been theepprjof way
wnrd fate, occasioned, in some ddgroe, by
faults within liinrse f; hut more particularly
by the npathy and remissness of his country
men, who, with all their boosted generosity
neglected him. Like mo6t poets, ho was
sensitive to excess, and deadly jealous of his
fair fame Always suspicious of the motives
of bis patrons, ho was reserved nnd unamia-
blo before thorn ,f .TIint they-should look
down on him ns nn object for their commise
ration, or entertain him aft they would a paid
creature for their amusement, was to his
haughty spirit mortifying in tho extreme;
and, rather than submit.to the humiliating
caprice of patronage broadly assumed, he
chose to clasp poverty to his aching heart,
and, in tho ragged nbodo of misery, was
pleased to utter those brilliant strains of im
agery and sentiment which have beguiled
many a weary hour, and yet shall enliven the
socinl circles in his native land (if there be
any thing in immortality) to the *• crack of
doom ”
The cause for irritation which immediately
preceded his act of self-deft ruction was a
supposed insult given by one of his associate*
on the fatal evening. Talent will always
create envy. and. consequently, beget one
mies, who will soizo opportune moments to
mortify and annoy. This is according to hu
man “nature, nnd poor Tannahill ought to
have estimated it with tho mind of a philoso
pher; hut. unfortunately for himself, he car
ri«>d within his bosom the heart of a poet,
ticmhlingly " ali\o all o’er” with a high sense
of honorable feeling, rendered still more in
tense by a vivid imagination.
Of his songs none have been more univer
sally esteemed than bis “ Jessie the Flower of
Dumblane ” Tho beautiful imagery of the
erec nnd the p ainlivu sw eo.ncru* of the ai»%*
gained it nn immediate popularity, which
promises to be ns lasting as the language in
which it was written.
The fair subject of this song was a bonnie
lassie in Dumblane. Her family wero of
poor extraction, and Jessie was cuutcnted
with a peasant’s lot. When .Tannahill
became acquainted with her. eho was in her
* teens,” a slight dimple checked, happy las
eio ; her hair yellow colored ami luxuriant;
her eyes large and full overflowing with tho
voluputuus languor which is so becoming in
young blue eyes with golden lariies. The
•inge which lit up her oval cheok wa^-deli
cate and evancscont, and h r pulpy lips nub
bled with bliss ag sbo gave utterance to her
heart.
Tannahill was struck with her beauty,
and, ns in all things ho was enthusiastical.
became forthwith, her arlcnt worshipper.—
But her heart was not to be won Young,
thoughtless, panting to know and see the
world 6he left her poor amo'irante “ to con
songs to hi* mistress* eyebrows,” n hilr. she
recklessly rambled among tho flowery meads
of Dumblane, or of an evening sang his in*
spired^verses to him with the most mortify
ing nonchalance. This was a twofold mis
cry to the sensitive poet. A creature so

The verses, too, aro indebted to his critical acumen, me

sweetly elegant, so dear to him,so very love
ly and innocent, and yet withal, so encased
in insensibility as apparently neither to be
conscious of the beauty of tho versos trom
blingon her dulcet tongue, nor caring fo
the carcases of her lover. ’Twas too much;
to mark all this, and feci it with tho Toolings
of a poet, was the acme of misery.
But tho "Flower of Dumblane” was not
that unfeeling, unimnginat.og being which
Tannahill pictured her. She was a creature
all feeling, ell imagination, although tho
bard hod not that in his person or minnera
to engage her attention or to arrest her fan
cy. Tho youog affections aro not to bo con
trolled. Love, all mighty Love, must be
free, el*o it censes to bo love. Tannahill
was plain in hia person, and uncouth in hta
manners, ajid expressed discontentment at
tho cruel disappointments which it had been
his unhappy fate almost invariably to encoun
ter. Jessie, on tho contrary .looked upon the
world as abrilliant spectacle yet to be seen &
enjoyed; a* a vast Paradise full of tho beauty
of heaven & earth, where men walked forth in
the image of their Creator, invested with his
attributes, and whero women trod proudly a-
m'dst thwlovely creation, an angel venerated
and adored. To express dissatisfaction un
der all these circumstances was to her mind,
tho extravaganco of a misanthrope, tho mad
ness of a real lover of misery, ond a sufficient
cause for her not to respect him. Both view
ed tho world through a falso medium, and
their deduction*, although at variance, gave
nolor to their minds and accelerated their
fate.
Jessio could not comprehend what appear
ed to her the folly other suitor. She relish
cd not his sickly sentiment; and as all wo
man kind ever did so, Bho scorned a cooing
lover. Tho bard was driven to despair, and,
summoning up an unwonted energy of mind,
departed, and left his adorwl to her youthful
aberrations
Soon after this period, the song of “Jessie,
the Flower of Dumblane,” together with the
music, was published : and became a public
favorite ; it was sung every whore, in thca
treB and at parties ; a world of praiso wns
showered upon it from woman’s fl ittcring
lips, and mon became mad to know tho ador
ed subject of tlio lay. In a short period it
wasvdiscovered. Jessie Monteith, the pret
ly peasant of Dumblane, was the favored
one. From all quarters young men and
bachelors flocked to see her nnd her own
'ijFX were curious nnd critical. Many promi
'sing youths paid thtiir addresses to her and
experienced the same reccptiou as her firpt
lover. Nevertheless, nt last poor Jessie be*
came foully enamoured. A rakish spark,
from Mid Lolhinn adorned with education,
being uf polished manners, and confident
from wealth and superiority of rank gained
her young affections 8ho too credulously
trusted in hi» unhallowed professions The
ardour of first love overcame her better
judgment, aud abandoning herse'fto Invo ol
passion, she made nn imprudent escape from
the protection of her parents and soon sound
hereli in elegant apartment* near the city
of Edinburgh.
Tim song of neglected Tannahill was to
bis Jessie both a glory and a curse : while u
brought her into notice and enhanced hei
beauty, it laid the foundation for her final
destruction. Popularity is a dangerous ele
vat ion. whether the object of it be n pearant
oraprinoe: temptations crowd around it
and snares are laid on evry hand. Who
wquld bo eminent, said a distinguished cmlo
of popularity, if they knew tin* peril. » •
madness aod distraction of mind to which th>
Crenturo of the popular breath i* exp 'S*’d !
When the poet heard of t iC fate of In* be
loved Jessie, his heart almost burst with
rnontnl agony- and working himself into tin
enthusiastic frenzy of inspiration, poured
fortlj a torrent of song more glowing nnd en
orgctic than ever before dropt in burning
accents from his tongue It is to he lom< n
ted, that in a fit of disgust, lie afterwards
destroyed those poetic records of his passioo
and resentment.
Era three years had resolved their triple
circuit after Jessie left her father’s homo,
she was a changed woman. Iler pnromour
had forsaken her. She was destituto in her
splendid habitation. Her blue eyes looked
pitiful on all things around her ; her oval
cheeks were indented by tho hand of misery,
and her faco nnd parson presented tho pic
ture of on unhappy, butM-MaiaM* being.—
How changed was the figure clothed in silk,
which moved on tho banks of the Forth,from
the happy, lively girl in Dumblane, dresB
ed in the rustic garb of a peasant! But
this is a subject too painful to dwell on : let
us hasten to the catastrophe.
It was on an afternoon in July, a boautiful
sunny afternoon, tho air was calm and pure.
The twin islands nf the Forth, like vast em
ernlds set in a lake of silver, rose splendidly
o’er the shining water, which now and then
gurgled nnd mantled round their bases.—
Fifeshirc was spread forth like a map, her
liuodred inland villages and cots tranquil
ly sleeping in tho sunshine. Tho din of
the artiean’s hammers in Kirknld) «$• Querns
ferry «inoto the still air ; and Dll inform line’s
apron’d inhabitants scattered forth their
whitened webs beneath tho noon tide sun.—
On the opposite shore. Leith disgorged her
black smoke, which rolled slowly in volume

grey bulwarks in air ; & Arthui’s Sent ro,-e

cborussos of thr fishermen like hymns to the
great spirit of the waters, ascended over
Newhaveti ; and down from Grainsmouth.
ligh'ly booming o’er the tide, floated the tall
bark Tho world seemed steeped in happi
ness. But there wa* one. a wandering one,
nn outcast, wretched and despairing, amidst
all this loudjness ; her bosom was cold and
dark, no ray could penetrate its depths; the
sun Rhone not fo: her, nor did nature smile
around hut to inflict a more exquisite pang
on the unfortunate.
Her steps were broken and hurried. She
now approached the water’s edge, and then
receded. No human creature was near to
disturb her purpose—all was quietness and
privacy; but there was an Eye from above
who watched all. Jessie Monteith,—how
mournfully sounds that name at this crisis!
But Jessie.sat herself down, and removing a
shawl and bonnet from her person, and taking
a string of pearl from her marble seeming
neck, and a gold ring, which she kissed
eagerly, from her taper Singer, she cast up
her streaming eyes, meekly imploring the
forgiveness of Heaven on him, the cause of
her shame and death. Scarce offering a
prayer for herself, she breathed forth the
names of her disconsolate parents, and ere
the eye oould follow her she disappeared in
the pure stream.
The sun shone on; the greon of the earth
