We have been quite amused at an editorial
paragraph in a late Boston Galaxy, followed
by a lettor from Savannah, said to be from
a lady, conjuring up “chimeras dire, 11 in rola
tion to Borne recent events in our city. The
alarm of the lady we can readily find an a
pology for, in Ibe norvooa excitability and
timidity of borsex, bgt for an Editor who
cpnthualond himself to the propsgation of
etrpb preposterous fears, we esn fool no olbor
sentiment than pity for hiaidiosyncracy and
qontempt for his ignorance.
Mr. Stophanini haa arrived at New York

Tnr PJittxrKTaiitf.-sBy ills rqpBrt of
tho Ios|SKtors of the Penilentiery, an ab
stract of which we published e day ot two
ainco, it appears that llicy have attended
faithfully to the duties of llitir ofiirn. It is
to be regretted Hint in its original formation,
e better plan had not bcon pursued, for the
purpose of separating the convicts from each
other after their daily work. Solitary con
finement haa bfieo adopted in all I he well re
gulated prisons in the Eastern Slates, and in
its effects has been found most beneficial.
Its adoption too would toko away (ho prinei
pal, we may say almost the only ground,upon
which tho system ie opposed. With “oil its
irnporfeclions on ite head,’’ however, we trust
thoro is no danger (o bo apprehended from
the attacks mode upon it in ibis era of light
and improvement. Tho argument drawn
from tbo Imperfections or abuses of o system
fur its destruction is too unfair and tao weak
to have effect with those who reflect sod
judge for themselves, and decidefromhonest
conviction.
Tbo friends of the Penitentiary system in
Ibis Slato, (and we aro sorry to say it baa CD-
cmiea any svhero,) do not pretend to say It
it perfect, or that it baa anewered the purpose
for which it wos established in every respect;
but they do eay that the system itself, carried
proporly into execution, will ho found aa ef
fectual as any can be made, in tbo reclama
tion of offenders apd the prevention of crime.
It is, however, eeiabliBhed—and wo might
content ourselves with w.th tho simple reply
to those’,who would swoop it from the face
of the earth, that until wo are shewn a belter
sybtom, we shall not destroy this. Will tho
opponents of this humane mode of punish
ment which has become en honorable foelure
of Ihe Pge, say that tho whipping post, the
branding iron and tho gibbet, ore more likely
to reform, than confinement and labor t or
that the justice oflho country can be en
forced without expense f They will not ; t
and if not, then we say, admitting all they
ask, even that Penitentiary punishment nei
ther reforms tho criminal, nor saves coy of
thooxpeose of the prisoners, (list it is prefer
able, if for no othsr reason, than that corpo
ral and publio punishments deprave tho mind,
of Ibe rising generation, end demorolize the
community, hy rendering them familiar with
flio moat important original article in
most newspapers in inserted directly under
the editorial head—and hence haa been term
ed the "leading article ” The Now York
Evening Post has adopted another phraseol
ogy, aod terms this, using a technical term,
(tho insertion of a pioce of lead between the
lines.) the leaded article." Tbia is certain
ly wrong—for how will it apply lo thoBe edi
torial articles which aro not leaded as is cos-
lomary with some nowrpapers—or with what
prnpri. ty can one xttide he termed by way
of distinction leadirl. when it is customary
with almost all newrpnpert (the P iet among
others) to lead many aiticios tirnlcr the edito

worthy of a conspicuous insertion, either quo
led from other papers, or simple matters of
fact, for which it is not customary to give

If we recollect aright the same print once on

A Boston paper states that “Le Comman
deer Forlade L’Azumbuja has presented his
credentials, at Washington, as Charge of Af
fairs from Portugal, and that, from causes
connected with tho present unsettled state of
affairs in Portugal, ho haa not yot been accrc.

try, appointed by Don Pedro, have been dis
placed aud others cannot bu commissioned

above individual is no doubt tho same men
tioned so long ago as last winter aa waiting a 1
Washington for a recognition. It is a deli*
cate question at present to dotermino who is
in fact tho sovereign of Portugal. Don Pe_

tho crown; but it is in possession of another,
and consistently with the settled principles of
tho laws of nations, whatever bo the charac

,T Court decorum. — An Ohio paper, in allu
ding to tho opening of the Court of Common

teclly into loud conversation, aud smoking

The ladies were so anxious to hear the
Catholic debate in Parliament that 1G Peer
csea mounted the roof, around a vetilator,
through whicu they looked down upon tbo
House. Their desire to hear must have been
sincere as they themselves were excluded
from being seen. Among them was the Ducb-
esa of Richmond, who, to secure a placo,took
hor porch upon.tho roof an hour and a half

Rights up Pasbenpers.—A dispute has
taken placo in tho Boston papers between
certain Missionaries, and Capt. Blinn, com
rnanderofa vessel which was chartered by
them, for the conveyance of themsclvss and
goods to the Sandwich Islands. A writer on
behalf of the latter quotes tho following ex
tract from the opinion of the Circuit Court
of the United Stales, at Boston, in a similar
case
“ The authority of a master at eea is ne
cessarily summary, and often absolute. For
the,lime, ho exercises the rights of sovereign
control; and obedience to Ids will, ond oven
o hi ! cnpricc* becomes almost indispensable.
U lif* chores to perform his duties, or to ox*
urt Ins office, in a harsh, intemperate, or op
pressive manner, lie can seldom be resisted
hy physical or moral force; and therefore,
in a limited sense, he may be said to hold the
lives aud personal welfare of all on board, in
a great measure, under his arbitrary discre*
tiou. He is nevertheless responsible to the
law; ahd if he is guilty of gross abuse and
oppression, I hope it will never bo found,
that courts of justice arc slow in visiting him
in the shape of damages, witfi an appropri
ate punishment.
In respect to passengers, the case of the
master is one of peculiar responsibility and
delicacy. Their contract with him is not
for mdre ship room and personal existenco,
on board ; but for reasonable food, comforts,
necessaries aod kindness. It is a stipulation
not for toleration merely, but for that decen
cy of demeanor, which constitutes the charm
of social life ; for that attention, which miti
gates evils, without reluctance ; and that
promptitude, which administers aid in dis
tress. In respect to females, it proceeds yet
farther; it includes an implied stipulation
against general obscenity, &c.”
After stating several ways, in which a
captain msy inflict evils upon passengers by
acts of unkindness, tho learned judgo pro
ceeds:
“It is intimated,that all these acts,though
wrong in morals, aro yet acts which the law
does not punish; that if the person ia un
touched, if the acta do not amount to nn as*
sanlt ntid battery, they are not to he redress-
ed. The law looks on thorn aa unworthy of
its cognizance. The master is at liberty to
inflict the most severe menial sufferings in
the most tyrannical manner, and yet, if he
tvithhqlds a blow, tho victim may bo crushed
by his nnkindness. He commits nothing
within the reach of civil jurisprudence. My
opinion is, that the law involves no such ab
Burdity. It is rational and just. It gives
compensation for mental sufferings, occasion
ed by acts of wanton injustice, equally
whether they operate by way of direct or of
consequential injuries. Id each case the
contfact of the passengers for tho voyage i6
in substanco violated ; and the wrong is to be
Jfbdressed as a cause of damage. I do not
say, that every slight aberration from pro
priety or duty, or that every act of unkind*
ness, nr passionate folly, is to be visited with
punishment; but if the whole course of con
duct be.oppressive and malicious, if habitual
immodesty is accompanied by habitual cruel
ty, it would be a reproach to the law, if it
could not award some recompense.—JIIa&Qti's
Report, vol. 3, p. 245—247.”
The decision of the court was, that the de
fendant should pay $400 damages, (which
was his share of the passage money,) and
costa of suit.
Sayings—A gentleman popping his head
through a tailor’s shop window, exclaimed—
“ What o’clock is it by yo.ur lapboard
upon which the tailor lifted up bis lapboard
and struck him a blow on the head, answer
ing—«♦ It bad just struck one.”
On asking an old man to sign the peti
tion from Sanquhar, against granting fprther
concession lo tho Catholic claims, he replied,
“ Na, na,! I dinna liko them!” Wcel,
weel,” said the other, “ that’s the very rea
son yo Bhould sign lor !” “ Na na ! I’ll no
sign, I tell ye, I dmna like them ; and I’ll
hae naothing ado wi’ them in ony shape.”

Thoso “horrible monitors bated of GodB
and Men,” the duns appear to have haunted
a poor man at Rochester, in tho State of New
York, so effectually, as to have reduced him
to the desperate course of meeting them face
to face for a certain portion of tho day, pro
vided they will give him the remainder to the
enjoyment of un dunned peace* He makes
the proposition, that in order to savo time
and unnecessary troublo, he will stand one
hour each day for one week at a certain corn
er of the town; where all who feel anxious to
harrasa his quiet by asking impertinent ques
tions, may have the opportunity of a hearing,
always providing, that the remainder of each
day shall not be disturbed by applications of
any hind. No doubt it is very impertinent'
to be asked for money and very inconvenient
too sometimes.
Governor Houston.—The my sterious
and apparently causeless resignation of Gov.
Houston, has been a subject of considerable
speculation and surmise among politicians.—
His address to the people of Tennessee was
of a singular character; and calculated to
excite public curiosity as to the motives and
circumstances that induced him to resign his
office. The following is an extract of a let
ter from a gentleman in Tennessee to a friend
in Pittsburgh, and ns it contains 6ome hints
and explanations in reference to this subject,
wo have requested, and obtained, leave to
publish it—Statesman.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in
Nashville to his friend in this City, dated
“ May Gth 1829.—“Samuel Houston, gov, of
Tenucssee, and a candidate for re-election,
and who wos lately married to Miss Allen,
has parted from his wife, and endeavored to
fix a stigma of the blackest kind upon her
characterho accused her of infidelity and
charged her with other gross and disreputa
ble actions. IJis wifo would have nothing to
eay to him after the first intimation of wbat
bo bad dono. This, it is said, brought him
to n sense of what he was about. After en
treating her to make it up, which she would
not do, ho left Nashville for Texas.
The following answer haB boon addressed
by tlA Executive of South Carolina, to the
Counsel of Shadrack Jacobs, who (liko Go-
vecor Wall) was convicted of a murder com
mitted twenty years before
Columbia, 3d June, 1829.
Dear Sir—I have considered your letter,
enclosing a copy of the indictment, convic
tion, and recommendation by the jury to
mercy, of Shadrack Jacobs, for the murder
of Andrew Feaster—together with the re
port of the presiding judge and a letter from
the convict. It appears that no important
legal questions were involcd in this case : it
was a question of fact, who killed Feaster ?
Which being established was clearly mur
der in that person. The evidence was fair
ly murder in that person. The evidence was
fairly submitted, liberally & humanely com*
mooted on by the residing Judge. The evi
dence as to tho agent in this bloody deed,
was sufficient to satisfy the jury; it was
sufficient to satisfy an enligtheond court
accustomed to consider and weigh its force
and effect—one, not lees distinguiBod for its
learning, than its independence and humani
ty in reviowing criminal trials.
In the application to this department for a
pardon, the principal reliance is upon the
recommendation of the jury, who tried the
convict. The recommendation in such a
ca8o, while it proves their sympathies, as men,
shows how little their judgments, as di^pen
a6rs of justice, were influenced thereby.
Knowing, that thoso who pronounce the
last and most dreadful sentence upon life,
cannot but feel tho responsibility to be great,
and have their sensibilities awakened to the
highest pitch of human kindness, I cannot
respect a recomendation from them ns
much, as if they had been indifferent
spectators at tbo trial. Indeed, I should
consider it as extremely impolitic, to permit
the public to believe, that the recommenda
tion of the jury to mercy, without stating the
precise ground of it, should influence the ex
ecutivo. However salutary in a particular
case such# recommendation might prove, I
cannot but regard it as ultimately hazarding
the rights of the accused.
Such is the humanity of our law, that if
any one man of the jury docs not asscul to
the prisoner’s guilt, he is acquitted If a re
commendation to mercy could be regarded
as likely to have an authoratalivc influence,
it would be readily substituted as a compro
mise of a dobtful case.
In the case now before me, tbo prisoner
urges this consideration. I do not know.nor
can I assume, that such was the fact here.—
The jury ought not to have supposed, in a
case of great enormity,if they established the
indentity of the criminal, that the course of

Interesting from Matanzas.—To Captain
Porter, of tho sohr. Little William, arrived
on Saturday evening from Matanzas, we are
indebted for a file of tho Redactor Mercan
tile of that place to the 2d inst. inclusive.
We learn from one oflho papers, that Lt.
Shearer, of H. B. M. schr. Monkey, arrived
at that port, states that ho had read in a Ja
maica paper, a notice of the arrival in that
Island of the crow of the American brig
JVew Priscilla. It will be recollected that
the New Priscilla was fallen in with on
the 14th of February last abandoned, sup
posed to have been taken by pirates and all
hor crew murdered. She subsequently drift
ed on Andiros Island, whero she was board
ed by wreckers, aud taken to Nassau. The
New Priscilla, Copt. Hart, sailed from this
port for Havana on tho 3d Feb. ; nothing
having been heard of her officera.aud crew
since she sailed, all hopes qf their safety
wore long since extinct with their friends in
this city. We congratulate them on this
gleam of hope, and sincerely trust that it
may be fully realised. There ib certainly
good reason to believe that Lieutenant
Shearer did not mistake what he saw,
as he knew of the finding of tho New
Priscilla, of her abandonment, and of the to
tal ignorance of thoir friends as to tho fate of
her crew—and must have bad his attention
particularly drawn to the notice in the Ja
maica paper.
From a Ma'onzns paper* wo learn that
H. B. M. schr. Monkey, Lieut. Shearer, ar
rived at that port on tho 10th ult. having in
company the schr. Portrait, of Wilmington,
lumber loaded, fallen in with on the Baha
ma Bank, abandoned by her captain and
crew, leaving only the Bon of the captain od
board. Capt. Foster of the Portrait, taking
the Monkey for a pirate, took to his boat and
went on board a ship a short distance off —
Captain Porter,and a passenger in the Little
William, state tho circumstances as they
beard them at Matanzas, similar to the a-
bove, except that the son of Captain Foster,
when asked by the boarding officer of the
Monkey why he did not go in the boat, Bta
ted that he preferred encountering pirates,
linn risk drowning in an open boat, with a
high wind and rough sea, so far from land.
They also state that the Portrait was from
New York, bound for Matanzas, ond that
Captain Foster and his crew, in the boat,
reached Havana without difficulty. Capt.
F. arrived at Matanzas to claim his vessel,
justbefor the Little William sailed, and it
was supposed it would bo given up without
much difficulty,a8 tho Monkey while in chase,
and when boardiug the Portrait, omitted to
shew her colors.
It ib timo that such conduct on the part of
the small cruisers should bo put a stop to.
This is the third instance, within a short
time, that American Merchant vessels have
been chased by British armed schooners, and
the second where their equivocal behaviour
has induced thes grew to abandon their ves
sola.

Antigua. —The summer of 182( ; , I
on the Island of Antigua The yellow fevei
committed its annual ravages. Among the
number ofils victims, waa a young American,
whose nmiable manners, had endeared him to
the little circle in which I visited. To alle
viate his sufferings, a few hours before his
death, the physician administered a powerful
opiate, and he sunk into a short, but tranquil
slumber,from which ho awoke to agonies that
terminated only with life. During this brief
repose, he bad a dream,—of his home ; ond
tho affecting manner in which it was related
drew tears from all who heord him. I have
made it the subject of the following lines:—
O, tell me not ’twas all a’dream,
For though these fires consume my brain,
I stray’d along the clear, coo! stream
That winds around niy native plain.
I breath’d the pure, reviving air
That’s born upon the mountninhigh; ,
I saw health’s roseate offspring there,
And hopo beam’d bright in every eye.
I saw the home of early years—
The scenes in childhood lov’d so well
The soft-cy’d maid whose melting tears,
At parting, on my bosom fell.
But, oh! these scenes forevqr o’er,
Beneath a torrid, sickly sky,
Upon a distant, friendless, shore
I’m doom’d in early life to die ;
And no fond, weeping sister’s care
Will close these dim and raylcss eyes.
No tender mother’s Iow-brcatn?d prayer
Will mingle with m£ t patting signs:
And, oh, my father ne’er will see
The distant grave in which I sleep
Tho maid from childhood door to me
Will never o’ertny ashes weep.
Deep in my heart is death’s cold chill,
Tne scenes of earth rccedo from view:—
Friends of tny youth,'I love you still,
And breathe my dying prayer for you.

Italian Lotion or Tincture of
Pearls
F 6R Improving, preserving and beautify
ing the Complexion—This admirable
compound has stood the best of all tests (that
of experience) and proved itself the most ef
fectual and valuable cosmetic yet discovered,
for removing Pimples, Spots, Freckles. Red
ness of the Skio, and all cutaneous eruptions,
imparting to the Bkin tho most delectable
fairness In cbbc of Scrofula, Salt Rheum,
and various other liumorB, it. has been used
with peculiar success. Gentlemen whose
faces are rendered tender by shaving, will
find it excellent beyond,precedent, for ame
liorating and removing the unpleasant harsh,
ness caused by tbe operation. Those persons
whose avocations expose them to intense sc-
lir heat and severe winds, will find that aa
occasional application of this valuable com*
pound will afford the most soothing reliof, as
it removes the unpleasant sensation caused
by either. It.has not been deemed requisita
to offer a long recapitulation of its many vir
tues, as its admirable properties are too well
known and too justly appreciated to require
it. But as there are many vile and spurious
cosmetics offered to the public, ob possessing
virtues of vital importance, it may not be
uselees to remark that the * Italian Lotion*
has been used by thousands, both in Europe
and America, with entire success, and far
exceeding their anticipations. It not only
renders tbe Bkin beautifully soft and clear,
but by repeated applications it promotes a
general exercise of those important functions
ofthe skio, which are of primary importance
to those who wish to attain and preserve a
beautiful complexion, and doas not contain
any of, those pernicious ingredients, which
are the basis of most cosmetics now in nse.—
Certificates of its complete efficacy can bo
shown to any who wish, either in English,
French, Spanish or Italian.
