Tho following anecdote founded oil fact, may
bo related in illustration A young gentleman,
whoso name was Lowry, had been • roue lit up
without tho intervention of a nursery maid, he-
causo his parents had experienced the sadcouse-
qucucos of friglitiiing children. They resolved
that the dawn of their sou’s reason should not be
overcast by tile night of superstition, and that lie
shoud uot become the slave of imaginary terrors,
lie was watched hv Ins mother, aud instructed
by his father, with the greatest attention, uutil
tlio ago of fourteen, lie then passed into the
world, aud, as ho grow up occasionally heard
from the tongues of the ignorant, the avowal of
foqrs to which he was a stranger. lie smiled at
their tales, and laughed at the most horrifying ill
cidents, they passed lightly across his mind; the
time was past for mental degradation to ho fixed.
A ghost was no more than a fairy. a griffin, a
sphynx, ora punch. They were all productions
of various imaginations.
Mr. Lowry, when about twenty years of age,
chanced to lie at Hampton Court at a time when
the place was crowded to excess. It chanced al
so, that »lm chambermaid at the Toy Inn had a
relative who was left in care of a suit of apart
ments in the palace. The girl to oblige Mr.
Lowry, and to put a trifle into her relation’s pock
et, arranged the affair. The suit of apartments
was in tho from, on the loft of the ancient part
built by Cardinal Woolsy. Tho entrance was by
a stair, in the cloister surrounding the first quad-
rauglc.
To this lodging, about midnight, Mr Lowry was
conducted by the Roots of the Inr, and delivered
into the care of old .Mary, the Chambermaid’s
aunt, who in order to render all comfortable as
possible, had lighted afire in the principal cham
ber, and placed a wax light on the table, Mr-
Lowry was shown in, with assurance that all was
perfectly aired, and bacto good night. Ho pro
ceeded to inspect his room which was spacious,
hiving tan estry in different compartments of the
walls, a lofty bed, with old fashioned damasked
furniture, and the floor covered with modern car
peting. Uc sat down by the fire, and made a

EXECUTION OF THE SPANISH PI
RATES. | ..
Thursday. June II, 1835. _
Pursuant to previous arrangements, Captain
Don Pedro Gilbert, and Juan Montenegro. Man
uel Castillo, Angel Gaicia and Manuel Bows,
were vesterdnv summoned to prepare for their
immediate execution, agreeably to their sentence,
having while belonging to tho Schr. Panda, com
mitted piracy, by robbing tho brig Mexican, of
$20,000, and afterwards attempting to destroy
the crew and all evidence of their crime, by set
ting fire to the vessel. It is understood, that when
tho prisoners became thoroughly convinced that
there was no longer any ground to hope for a
further respite, they entered into mutual arrange
ment to commit suicidejiu Wednesday night.——
Angel Garcia made tho first attempt in the eve
ning, Lv trving to open the veins in each arm,
with a‘fragment of bottle, but was discovered be
fore Ito could effect his purpose and a strict guard
‘was afterwards maintained upon all of them dur
ing tho remainder of the night, and every thing
removed with which they might be supposed to
renew any attempt upon their own lives. Yester
day morning, however, nbont 9 o’clock, while
the avenues of tlic jail resounded with the heavy
steps of a host of acting marshals, and the “busy
note of preparation,” struck solemnly upon the
ears of the spectators within reach of its echo,
Royga succeeded in inflicting a deep gash on the
leftside of his neck, with a piece of tin. TL-a of
ficer’s eye had been withdrawn from him scarce
ly a minute, before he was discovered lying on
his pallet, with a peculiar trembling of his knees,
which induced the officer to examine if any thing
had suddeuly happened to him. They found him
covered with blood, and nearly insensible: med
ical aid was at hand, anti the wound was imme
diately sewed up, Royga. who had fainted from
loss of blood, uever revived again. Two Catho
lic clergymen, the Rev. Mr. Varclla. a Spanish
gentleman, aud a paster of tho Spanish congre
gation at New York, and the Rev. Sir. Curtin,
of this city, were iu close attendance upon the
prisoners during the whole morning; and a quar
ter past tcii under the escort of tho Marshal aud
his deputies, accompanied them to the gallows,
erected on an insulated angle of laud iu the rear
of the jail.
When the procession arrived at the foot of the
ladder, leading up to the platform of the gallows,
the Rev. Mr Varella, looking directly atCapt. Gil
berl said—.“Spaniards, ascend to heaven.” Gil
bert mounted with a quick step aud was followed
by his comrades at a more moderate pace, but
without the least imperceptible indication of hes-
taucy. Royga, unconscious of his situation aud
drstitiy, was carried up in a chair.and sea’ed be
neath the rope prepared for hitn. Gilbert Mon
tenegro, Garcia, and Casliilo, all smiled sundued-
ly as they took tbeir appointed stations on the
platform. Judging only from Gilbert’s air. car
riage, and unembarrassed eye, as he glanced at
the surrounding multitude, and surveyed the me
chanism of his shameful death, lie- might have
well beeu mistaken for ati officer ill attendance,
instead of one of the doomed. With the excep
tion of repeating his prayers after tho clorgymun.
he spoke hut little. Soon after he ascertained

Some hundred or two, forgetful of the ap
preach of the rising tide, posted themselves, quite
early, on the foundation of a branch ol the Low
ell Railroad, aud unable to retreat, as the crowd
on shore increased iu density, they were compelled
to retain their position, till the flowing tide came
up qvcti above their knee. About a dozen were
hemmed i: to a core or up ro their middle in mud

CONVENTION.
Yesterday the State Rights Convention will
have met at .Milledgeville; iu a few days the
re-uk of their deliberations will be kuowu. The
Nuliifiers are perfectly justifiable in resorting to
any means, fair and honorable, for the purpose
of advancing their principles, and concentrating
the votes of all their adherents. We consider
Conventions as ainoug the fair aud honorable
means that can be employed. We shall not.
therefore say ought against the object which led
to the convocation of this Convention. If the
Nullifiersc.iit succeed by such me jins, we shall
not ccumre nor reproach them for the adoption;
we shall blame the Union men for being toolulte
warm, aud too confident iu the strength of their
party. Rut are the Union ram lukewarm and
too confident ? It maybe uot the case. On the
first Wednesday in July, tho Union Conveution
is to assemble at Milledgeville, hud certaiuly the
proceedings of that body, will result iu the con
centration of the votes of the party, and unanimi
ty in the support of candidates for Governor and
Congress. If this result cau be obtaiiicd, the
Uuiou party cannot be defeated, however uuniii-
mous may he the uullifiersin their support of can
didates. and iiowever effective may bo the con
centration of all their forces.
Rut it is our opinion that the Nullificrs cannot
succeed in concentrating all ihc votes of the par
ty which has assumed the name of Stato Rights.
The resolutions adopted at Milledgeville, are con
sidered by a great majority of the Stale Rights
party, as containing the fundamental principles of
tho party, aud ihe essence of nullification. To
those resolutions some of the most alilo aud distin
guished members of tho state rights party have
.publicly dist'ented. In several counties delegates
to the convention have been appointed, with in
structions to vole only for the nomination of can
didates who will have subscribed, without reser
vation. to the resolutions adopted at Milledgeville
as the creed of the party. How, then, can
uu.'iiiimitv be created with such disordantinateri-
als. and among men who entertain such opposite
principles ? Gov. Gilmer and several other most
.imminent members of the state rights party, have
unequivocally dissented from the most esseutail
paints of tho nullification doctrine of the parly
to v. Inch they appear to belong. Can they be
nominated as candidates for Governor or Con
gress? And if nominated by a majority of the
convention, can they be supported by the genuine
.■ml original nnUifiers of the party ? This is to us
doubtful, as these nnUifiers appear determined to
swim or sink with their principles, and to remain
in a glorious minority, until the veil which now
covers the eves of the people, shall drop, and the
L. auty of nullification will Ira discovered by an
admiring multitude. If tbc nullificrs and stato
rights men cannot harmonize and. but with great
difficulty, concentrate the votes of their party,
the Union men have to regret that unanimity
may not prevail, in every instauce, in the sup
port of candidates for ail the offices which will re
quire tho sanction of the people by their votes.
Rut the division in the Union ranks cannot mate
rially effect the result of any election, inasmuch
a* the dissenter* are small iu number and do not
exercise much influence with the general mass of
tho party. The members of the Union party
are more fortunate than their opponents, in the
causes ofdivisiou am mg theinselveg. Fundamen
tal principles, and doctrinal points, divide the
iiullilii-rs and stare rights men, while tho division
in the union ranks spring more from the support
of men for office, than from a difference iu the
principles and the creed of the party. Itis to us
then very obvious, that with the uuilifiers and
state rights men, the breach which exists between
them cannot easily be repaired, while the differ
ences existing between the union men, cannot
effect the general result of their measures, because
only a very small portion of them can withdraw
from the action of the party.
The proceedings of both conventions. State
Rights .i! -.1 Union, will very shortly be before the
people, who will be able to judge of them as their
feelings will dictate, and to approve that of them
all which they w ill think best, and most conduc
ive to the welfare aud future prosperity of the

GOV. FORSYTH AND GOV..CASS.
Itis protended, in the opposition prints, that
these gentlemen are about to resign their stations
i:i the cabinet. Tho fabricators and circulators
of this false rumor, have seen it contradicted ; hut
as the two Secretaries have goue to their res
pective homes, it furnishes some color for their
imposition, and they therefore, ring the changes
upon it. supposing that it will have some effect
both at home and abroad, iu giving the appear
ance of au unsettled condition of the public Ad
ministration.
Wo again pronounce this story of the opposi
tion utterly groundless and without pretext—and
without even a circumstance, tending in the slight
est degree, to make probable tho event suggested
as'about to take placo. So far from returning
Irarae with a view of final resignation, both the
Secretary of State and Secretary at War have
visited their respective residences to prepare
for an indefinite absence from their homes.
Gov. Cass, we understand, has gone to Detroit
to lay out his estate in lots for sale, so that the
city may he extended. Mr. Forsyth who. ac
cepted his station after a loug session of Con
gress. aud who had not before returned to visit
his estate recently went to make the necessary
arrangements for a protracted residence in this
city.
Both these geutlemen have the entire confi
dence of the President, and tjiey cherish for him,
.ve know the warmest personal aud political at
tachment.— Globe.

who were both taken ftom the stage bleeding
from the mouth and nose; one of them it was
thought with au arm fractured. Similar results
from carelessness are quite frequent, and it be
comes our duty, in order to put a check to them,
to make them public, that travellers may be on
their guard.

$23,000 OF DARIEN MONEY FOUND.
We understand that $21,000 of tho principal
bills of the Bank of Darien, and two thousand of
the I^ranch in this city, lately stolen from the
Bank, was found this morning ainoug some cot
ton bales on Jones’ wharf, by a negro drayman.
From the fact that this cotton was only lauded 2
days since, stud of its being examined on yester

is no doubt thal the money must have been pla

THE TRIAL OF GEORGE R. HARDEN.
Ou Monday afternoon, about half past five
o’clock, the Jury returned into Court with tbeir
Verdict, finding; the prisouer guilty of the murder
of the late James Wise. This trial commenced
ou Monday morning the 8th inst. aud terminated
at the time before stated. When it is' taken in
to consideration the time consumed, nearly three
days, in obtaining au unexceptionable Jury of
twelve men, together with numerous witnesses
examined, we may pronounce it one of the most
lengthy aud laborious trials that has ever occur
red iu this couuty. Tho Counsel for the Prisoner,
were—John M. Clark, M. Hall .McAllister, M.
She Rail, Sen. and Win. Law Esquires :—For
the State—John' Milieu. Levy S. D’Lyon, and
Wm. II. Stiles, (Solicitor General) Esquires.
Our engagements were such as to prevent us
from attending tho Court auy one day since the
trial, but from wh{it we leant, the trial was con
ducted by his Counsel with every effort which ta
lent and ingenuity could devise. Judge Nicoll,
who presided, aware that a humau being was be
fore him, whoso life stood on the cast, gave eve
ry scope which justice, patience, humanity and
the administration of the laws of his couutry af
forded; but the deed had been committed, and
the evidence too strong to change the crime, aud
the Jury discharged tho dniy which their oaths
and couscieuccs deniauded, and returned a ver
dict of guilty.
Oil tho part of the State, Attorneys displayed
their knowledge and talents, and acquitted them
selves with every justice to those by whom they
wore employed.
We are promised a synopsis of the trial for pub
lication, aud shall endeavor to obtaiu an outline
of the charge to the Jury, made by His Honor the
Judge. Should wo succeed in it, both will ap
pear at the same time.—Savannah Republican.
their task ended, they V'ere convinced tha; such
steps would be taken by Americans as would ex-
puuge every trace of a misunderstanding which
ought uever to have existed. The Chamber of
Deputies had understood the feeliLgs of Ministers
on this point, and had consequently inserted in
the text of the bill a clause to which Ministers had
agreed. Another amen, ment which had been
rejected at the suggestion of the Government,
the object of it having been to subject to pn blici-
ty the explanations which the French Govern
ment had a right to expect from the Government
of the U. States. Ministers were of the opinion
that the dignity of France should be satisfied, but
at the same time thought that the satisfaction must
be offered in a raaUuet 1 honorable to both na
tions.
'Phis is avery unsatisfactory summary more es
pecially when taken in connexion with the fol
lowing paragraph from the Rational of April

“Several Journals' have announced that tho
American Indemnity Bill would be brought to the
Chamber of Peers without the amendment of Gen
Valaze. To-day it was presented to the Cham
ber, and the minister boldly asserted that the a-
meudmenl of the Deputies was the expression of
his own feelings on the subject. Never said he.

millions to America, wi'hout having previously
obtained some satisfaction fortbe words and man

It is further asserted by the Paris opposition
Journals, that the amendment of General Valaze
had caused dissatisfaction to Mr Livingston; and
the Courier Francois asserts, ns it says, upon Mr.
Livingston’s own authority, that the arrival ol
that gentleman at Washington will be the begin-

HAVRE, April 25.
The Constitution left here yesterday for Spit-
head to water, and will return by the 28th, when
Mr. Livingston will embark in her fortbe United
States.
The Rational, however, does nm believe in far

made to-day to the Chamber, how matters are
to bemauaged. The Minister begins by stating
that all diplomatic intercourse has ceased be
tween the two powers since each has. recalled its
Envoy. Tile satisfaction, according to the Min
ister will proceed from the Government who shall
be the first to renew the interrupted intercourse
France will uot make the advances; she is firmly
determined on waiting until America shall take
the initiative of the overture, because her dignity
imperiously requires it; but she will consider
herself satisfied by the United States being the
first to come forward, because her moderation
and magnanimity demand it.
“Those are idle, pompous, and empty words
The American Government is evidently in a sit-
uatiou to bo the first to speak. The vote of the
Chamber will have informed it that it lias 25
millions to receive, with the interest mm since
the ratification of the treaty, and that the payment
of the same is to be effected in live yearly :nst d-
ments. The Americans will,In till prohahili'y.
forward a receipt, or draw a bill fi r the In sr fiiiL.
and iu so doing it will not humble itself much.
The French government will pay that fifth, aim
declare itself satisfied. Rehold what the haugh
ty erjiose, read to-day to the Chamber of Peers,
promises to the couutry.”
Tho Ameiicau frigate Constitution, which had
been represented to have proceeded to Cones to
take in water for her homeward voyage, had
goue to Cherbnrg. and had displayed i. ore po
liteness there than at Havre, for wo find that she
saluted the batteries aud King'sships in the form

by the Ministerial Journals with au air of impor
tance, which clearly shows how seriously the
American question continues to be regarded *at the

about naval armaments, said to be ordered at

about an average crop will lie made. Theft*
crop is believed to be unusually fine. / r ,* Cr
Corn looks well, and is al out «s forward aj'nn.

spring. With seasonable showers, we nm ca'
culate on a plentiful harvest. Of Cotton, alar,

and late frosts have operated against good stamk

many parts of the State, have produced serioia
injury t» the crops. So tthat with the probable
dangers from caterpillars, droughts, rust, storm,

than expected.
Quite a sudden change was experienced in the

\\ v have seen enough in the opposition p»P frs '
when treating of the Baltimore or Union Conven
tions, to put u- forever out of conceit of these lo
se mb I ages, allowing one half only that is said of
them to bo true. Though the system is ridiculed
and stygtnafized w hen resorted to by their op-
poucuis, the N’uliifitrs still cling to it themselves.
Nothing cau be fairer, than for them to hold s
