The morning of trial came. The fogs of that dismal month spread like a daik veil over our earth. There was no benfcty in the landscape, no light in the heavens and no hope in tlie heart. The judges tnok their places: a irowd of wretched delinquents came to receive their doom. e suppose it to he a refinement of modern days, that men are not punished for their crimes, hut only to deter others from committing them. This court of Henry's seemed to think other- . w ise; there was all the array of human passion in the judges as w ell as in the judged. On one hand, r. cream fear abjured his creed; on anoth er, heroism braved alt eontingenciej, courting the pile,and the stake, with even passionate de sire ; and the pile and the stake were given with stern and unrelenting cruelty. At length there stood at the bar an aged man and a youthful girl; the long white hair of otic fell loosely over the shoulders, and unshaded a face wrinkled as much by care as bv age ; the dark locks of the other wee braided overacotiu tesance clouded by sorrow, and wet with tears. The mockery of trial went on. Jt was easy t# prove what even the criminal did nit attempt to gainsay. The aged merchant avowed hi fidelity to the pope as a true son of the church, denied the supremacy of Henry, over any part of the fokl and thus sealed his doom. There was an awful stillness through the court; stillness the precursor of doom—broken only by the sobs of the weeping girl, as she clung to her father’s arm. Howbeit, the expected sentence was interrupted; there came a sudden rush, fresh attendants thronged the court ‘Room for Lord Cromwell! room for Lord Cron well!’ and tiie vicar-general came in his pomp and his state, with all the insignia ol office, to assume his place of pre-eminence at that ‘ribunal. Notes of the proceedings were laid bofore Lord Cromwell.— lie was tohl of the intended sentence, and he made a gesture of approbation. A gleam of hope Jtal dawned upon the Italian girl as Lord Crom wel. entered, fshe watched his countenance while he read; it was stern, indicative of calm determination; but there were linos in it that spoke more of mistaken duty than innate cruelty. Yet, when the vicar-general gave Ins token of as sent, the steel entered Emilia's soul, and a sob, the veriest accent of despair, rang through the court, and where i? met with a human heart, pierced through all the cruelty and oppre 'sion that armed it, and struck upon some of the nat ural feelings that divided men from monsters.— That sound struck upon Lord Cromwell's ear, his eve sought tb** place whence it proceeded ; it tested on Emilia and her father. A strange emo tion passed over the face of the stern judge-—a perfect stillness followed. Lord Cromwell broke the silence.—Fie glanced over the notes that had been handed to hint, speak ing in a low voice, apparently to himself—‘From Italy—a merchant—Milan—-ruined by the wars—- jv, those Milan wars were owing to Clement’s ambition, and Charles’s knavery—the loss of substance—to England to reclaim an old indebt ment.’ Lord Cromwell’s eye rested once more ti >on the mcichant and his daughter. ‘Ye are of Italy —from Milan ; is that your birthplace.’ We are Tuscans,’ lcplied the Merchant, ‘o Lucca ; and oh ! noble lord, if there is ir.< rcy in litis land, show it now to this uohapj y girl.’ •To both, or to neither!’ exclaimed the gir ; *ve wifi live, or we will lie togeter!’ The vicar-geceral made answer to niether.— He rose abruptly J at a sign given by him, the proper officer dcc’arod tha court adjourned ; «hc sufferers were hurried back to their cells— souse went whither they would—others, whither »|hey would not; but ail dispersed. 'A faint and solitary light gf»nccd from a chink of <fhe prison—it came from the narrow cell of the Italian merchant and his daughter. The girl slept—ay slept. Sleep does not al ways leave the wretched, to light on his unsullied with a tear. Reader, hast thou known intense misery, and canst thou not remember b"<* thou hast felt and wept, and agonized, until the very excitement of thy misery were out the body's power of endurance, and sleep, like a torper, a lethargy, bound thee in its chains ? Into such a sleep had Emilia fallen ; she was lying on that prison lDor. her face pale as if ready for the grave, the tears yet resting on her checks, and over her sat the merchant leaning, asking himself whether, treasure that she was, and had ever bec:f to him, he could wish that sleep to be the sleep of death. The clanking of a key caught the merchant’s ear; a gentle step entered their prison. The father’s first thought was for his child. He made a motion to enjoin silence; it was obeyed ; his visiter advanced with a quiet tread ; the merchant looked upon him with wonder. Surely— -no— and yet could it be ? that his judge—Lord Crom well. the vicar-general, stood before him—and stood, not with threatening in his eye—-not with denunciations on h's lip, but took his stand on the’other side of poor Emilia, gazing on her with nn eye in which tenderness and compassion were conspicuous. Amazement bound up the (acuities of the mer tihant. He seemed to himself as one that dream • Awake, gentle girl, awake,’f said Lord Crom ■*V*>ll, as he stooped over Emilia. ‘Let me hear <*»v voiee one# mofe as it sounded in miafi ear in .nrtler day*.’ like gmute tecetrts fell too lightly to break the «i" that rfer.ry slumber; aod the merchant, iiwluse fears, feelings and confusion formed n per- Aci;t chaos, stooping over his child, suddenly ■“•jjwofc* “her with the cry of‘Emilia!

She half raised her ■welf from her recumbent posture into a kneeling one, shadowing tier dazzled eves with her land, it#r sfreami ig hdr falling fnwdtl efteottfer o r°r her shoulder, and thus resting at the feet of her judge. ‘Look ou me, Emilia!’ said Lord Cromwell. And eucoura -ed by the gentle accent*. h he raised her tear-swoilon eyes to his face. As she did so, the vicar-ge icr.-d lilted from Ins brow his plumed cap, and ieve and« and the perfect outline of his fea tures. Ami Emilia gazed as if spellbound, until gradually shades ui doubt, of wonder, of recog nition. came struggling over her countenance, tiii I finally, in a voice of passionate amazement, she exclaimed ; ‘it is the same ! It is our sick soldier gue-t.’ *Ev. n-o,’said Lord Cromwell, ‘even so. tnv dear and gentle nurse. He who was then the pour dependent on your bounty, receiving from yourchanty lus daily bread as an alms haththisday presiiled over the issues of life and death, as your judge; but fear not Emilia; the sight of thee, gentle girl, comes like the memory of youth ar.d kindly thoughts across the sterner mood that bath lately darkened ov-t me. They whose voice may influence the destiny of a nation, grad ually loose the memory of gentler thoughts. It may he, Providence h ull sent thee to melt me back again into a sober nature.

Thou art here; and how hast ill >u been welcomed! to a prison, and well t.igii to death. Rut the poor soldier hath a home ; come thou and thy father, and share it.’ An hour' v. ho dare prophesy its events? At the beginning of that hour, the merchant and his daughter had been the sorrowful captives of a prison : at is close, they were the treasured guests of a palace. A DEATH-BEI) CONFESSION OF \ MURDERER. About forty years ago a great sensation was created in Liverpool by the murder of a cenile man of high respectability. The body was bound by a watchman in an upright position, support ed by railings which fenced a shipwright's yard on land now funning part of the east quay of the PrinccVdock. On examination it was discovered that the deceased had met with his death by a fracture of the skull, executed with a blunt instru ment. A reward was offered by the mayor, and, in consequence, information was given to the pul ic, tint the deceased gentleman was in tl e habit of visiting a female hi tlw neighborhood of the place where the body was found ; and on the ap prehension of that female, a watch was ta • from lie-r person which was proved to he thepiop erty of ths deceased, and so satisfactory wa his fact with some corroborant circumstances, thru the prisoner was committed for trial. A stable keeper or groom who was in the habit of going, 1 y the decased’s orders, to fetch his watch which he ha.i on some occasion forgotten or purposely left w ith the prisoner, having casually read i a newspaper that part ol the evidence respecting the watch, gave such information to the .nngis trate that the prisoner was released. The mu stables were on the continual look out to discov er the murderer, hut without effect ; and from that time to this, the friends hf the deceased, who are now of the first standing in Liverpool in point of wealth and respectability, are ignorant the cause of the murder and of t tie murderer. The person who confessed the murder was the widow of the murderer, who haul been dead manv years, i lie confession was to the following effect That she was standing at the door of her house, and the deseased passing by, being in a state of intoxication, caught bold of her; she ran info the front parlor, and he with her, she called out. and her husband, who was a pilot, happening to come in at the moment, took up the poker anil killed the deceased at one blow ; when he saw 'he dreadful effect of the act, he wept most bit terly. In the course of an hour, he v.nd his wife began to think how the body should be disposed of, when the wife hit upon the plan of taking the li'-’dy out between 12 and 1 o’clock at night very dark and rearing it against the railings, where it was found by the watchman. She lifted the corpse on her husband’s back and lie carried it a distance of 200 or 300 yards. They put out all the lights iti the house immediately, and went to lied, but from the agitated state of their feelings, they neither could slcepon that norformany nights afterward. The police examined all the houses about, and o:i one occasion theirs, but fortunate ly, -he said her husband was ont on dnty in the pilot boat, otherwise, she thinks, as this terror was so great he would have discovered his guilt bv his agitated manner. She often determined, after her husband died, to confess all the cironni staoces to the relations of the deceased who was a single man, but she was afraid she would be deemed a principal iu the murder, and put upon her t»i;i?. She died on the same day slie related these facts.— Liverpool Standard. The Murderers rs Isaacs. —Col. Daniel N.

The following coiiinimunicatiou is from a gen tleman who has been succesfully engaged iu the cuirure ofsilk lor several years, and tbe informa tion which lie gives, may be relied upon as cor rect ; it is very important to beginners, and will save them much troublesome inquiry. In the spring of 1835, we had tbe pleasure ol examining a lot ofsilk raised and reeled by Mr. Smith, and even at that early period, after comparing it with the best specimens of Italian silk in the market it was pronounced by good judges to be a su perior article. It was sold to a manufacturer for seven dollars a pound, when the best icifxirted silk wa> selling for lour dollars. To the Editor of the Yankee Farmer : Dear Sir-—As I have been engaged for several years in the business ol growing silk, I am par ticularly interested, and also feel interested for those who may beengaged in the same. I there fore oflerfor communication in your valuable pa per, the following as tbe result of my experi ence : I have fed worms to some extent for the sev en past years ; at the first the business was perfect ly new, and consequently we had ever? thing to ica-D from experience; and I have ascertained to ivy own satisfaction, that being supplied with Mu merry trees which will product both daily and late teed, the time to commence hatching the eggs is tl.e first of June. 1 commence, therefore as soon as the leaf begins to unfold, which is gen erally the first week in June, by exposing a quan tity of eggs to the uir; and I continue to expose them for hatching every ten days, until the first of August; in this way 1 have successive crops, which will take the’ feed as it grows and also require about the same amount of labor through the season, which is far preferable to having a large crop of worms, which at first will require bat she help of one or two, and the age, require twenty or more. When the worms begin to ap pear, which is generally early in the morning, I place on them tender leaves, to which they will soon adhere ; 1 then draw them off upon a pa per and keep each day’s hatching by themselves, placing the day of the month upon the paper,— rev a cocooner almost any outbuilding will an swer the purpose. 1 build try shelves in a simple manner, by ma king use of two inch scanfling for posts; J nail on slats to receive the shelves, one foot apart, giv ing them four feet in width at tbs bottom, making each shelftwo inches narrower as I ascend, that, the worms falling I'rom one. shelf may lodge on the next below. We remove the worms from the li’ter immediately after the first, second third and fourth moultings, and also when they are rea dy to wind their cocoons, we remove them to she!> es prepared. < After trying the various methods in use for the : accommodation of the worm to wind, we experi mented withstraw in variousways, and the result ol our experience, have found that the best me thod for using it, is to cut rye straw one inch and a half longer than the di c tr nee between the shelves, tying it in bunches, of some twenty in a bnneb, from one to two inches from the bottom ; placing them between the shelves and spreading them at the top. 1 have practised putting upstraw in this way, the two past seasons, and find the worms will wind in them very readily, and the cocoons are gathered with the greatest ease and neatness. With regard to reeling, I consider ii important m >t the cocoon shook! be reeled before it become necessary to stifle the chrysalis—for this tftev will yield more silk, and it is stronger and moi’e nice. 1 have practised reding in this way the two past seasons, and therefore judge for myself. I offer this for publication for the benefit of those who are going into the business of growing silk, and who have had no experience. Respectfully yours, TIMOTHY SMITH. Afnherst. Mas, Dec. 2d, 1838.

The Baden eofu abont which so modi fuss is being made, is nothing more than corn thus selected fora long series of years, where two or more ears grew upon a stalk. By select ing yonr seed thus, you will soon have the Ba den corn. Perhaps the size of the ear—the smallness of the cob—-the shape and soundness of grains should be made an object of as much care as the number of cars on a stalk. By taking care to bring'corn to maturity as soon as possible an pulling it soon as it is ripe enough to save, you may have early corn and visa versa.

J UNITED STATES SENATE MEMORIAL op MART A HELENA AMERICA VESPUCCI. , Pitying a demotion of public land and that she mart hr admitted to the rights of citizenship. Ordered , That so much thereof as relates j 0 public land be referred to the Committee on Pub lic Lands; that so much as relates to the rights of citizenship be referred to the Committee onthe Judiciary : and that it be printed in the original French, with an English translation. To the Congress of the United States: Maria Helena America Vespucci, a descendant of the celebrated Amerieus Vespucius, of an il lustrious family of Florence, is now in America —in the United States. She has been obliged to quit her country on account ofhe political op inions. She has separated herself from her family in order to avoid drawing upon them the displeas ure of their Government. She is now alone, with out country, without family, and without pro tection. America Vespucci quitted Florence on the 4th of October, 1834, and has been traveling from country to country without a resting place, (ap pul) without security, sustained only by the in ternal conviftion of having performed a duty to her country. After many difficulties she arrived in France. There she found an asylum.— The good Queen of the French restored her to courage by granting her protection (even) s 0 far as to permit her to travel under the auspices O' re nch flag. But this generosity does not give her a country; this protection does not bestow upon lmr the title of a citizen. The details of the life of a voting female, out of her country, would be too long to relate. Ev ery person ofdelicate feelings may imagine her sad and painful situation. She is now in this quarter of the globe, which has been baptizedfSby her ansestor : by him who has bequeathed to it his imperishable name, and who rffay be said to have at the same time lles sw *♦ Item heaven ; for this nation thpngh vtftrogt is already one of tbe first iu the world. It is ore* perousand rich ;it is his name that it bears.- And it, moreover, Americus Ycspucius be re aid ed as one of those old fuller mariners feugz perea narius,) whom civilized nations take So much pleasure in rewarding lor their former se°r vices iu the persons of their descendants, to whom should America Vespucci apply it not to Amer ica, which now possesses superiority and strength on the ocean ? 6 America Vespucci will make no demand on the American Government. Those who make demauds are presumed to have rights to be established or justice to claim. She has neither—She knows that the Americans have been magnanimous to wards all who have rendered servicvs to the na tion ; that they have been generous towards all who have done a noble act tor their country -and that they have moreover, granted protection’ and even assistance to emigrants from other nations. There is none but a Veapucius who has given his name to a quarter of the globe. Will tho Americans do nothing for the descendant of Am ericus ? She desires a country she seeks a land that will receive her as a friend. Slie has a name that is sli her inheritance, all her fortune. Mav this hospitable nation grant her a corner of land to which it is so riesi, and may the iit| e 0 p citizen be bestowed upon the poor emigrant. If An erit us Yespucitis were now alive the A mermans would rush in crowds to offer him hon ors and rewards. In the. nineieenth century niff this civilized nation forget that in the veins ofhis descendants flows the same blood ? America Vespucci collected all her little fortune to reach tfe;s country ; new she desires only to make known her position to the Congress of this great nation, feeling confident that the Americans'will never abandon her. She will not ask, having no other claim than that of bearing the name of America but she will receive a gift from the uation bv which she hopes not robe regarded as a stranger. 'I bat "ill not humiliate her Suchaii act of generesi tv will console her feelings, honor her name, flatter tier family, and even her c ountry. Yhr’ iriits ol a nation always honor ihc.se who receive them. When the world shjiil know that the A nierican nation hasrioue an an ot gcneiosiiv in favor of the descendant ot Vcsptich.s will' not the approb ition of all man kind he a glorious reemr.pese ?
