Lavmg been so disposed, in tuo bustle ot un loading, by means which nobody could pretend to understand. The guard, with a halt'fright ened look, approached the awful object, and soon placed it with the other things on board the ferry-boat. On our landing at Dundee pier, the proprietor of the trunk saw so well after it himself, that it was evident no accident was for this time to be expected. However, it appeared that this was only a lull to our attention. The tall gentleman was to go to Aberdeen bv a coach then just about to start from Merchant's live, while 1, for tny part, was to proceed by another coach, which was about to proceed from the same place to Perth. A great bustle took place in the narrow street at the inn door, and some of] tny later follow-travellers were getting into the one coach, and some into the other. The Aber deen coach was soonest prepared to start, and, just as the guard cried ‘ all’s right,’ the long fig- ; ure devolved from the window, and said, in an anxious tone of voice, • Guard, have you got my trunk?’ • Your trunk, sir, cried the man; * what like j is your trunk ? we have nothing here but bags and baskets.’ • Heavan preserve me ?’ exclaimed the unfor tunate gentleman, and burst out of the coach. It immediately appeared that the trunk had been deposited by mistake in the Perth, instead ofthe Aberdeen coach ; and unless the owner find spoken, it would have been, in less than an Lour, half way up the Carse of Gowric. A transfer was immediately made, to the no small amusement of myself and one or two other per sons in both coaches who had witnessed its pre vious misadventures on the road through File. Seeing a friend on the Aberdeen vehicle, I took an opportunity of privately requesting that he would, on arriving at his destination, send me an account by post of all the further mistakes and dangers which were sure to befall the trunk in the course of the journey. To this he agreed und, about a week after, l received the fol lowing letter: “ Dear , M All went well with mvseU, my fellow-travel lers, and the Trunk, till we got a few miles on this side of Stonehaven, when, just as we were passing one oft'ie boggle-i parts of the whole of that boggy road, as unfortunate lurch threw us over upon one side, and t’.e exterior passen gers, along with several heavy articles of lug gage, were all projected several yards off into the morass. As the place was rather soft, no body was much hurt; but, after every thing had again been put to tights, the tall man put some two thirds of himself through theccach window, tn his usual manner, ami asked the guard if he was sure his trunk was safe in the boot. “ ‘Oh, sir !’ cried the gnard, as if a desperate idea had at that mom*nt rushed into his mind, the trunk was on the top. Has nobody seen it lying about any where ?’ ” “ ‘lf it be a trunk ye’re locking after,’ cried a rustic, very coolly, ‘ I saw it sink into that well ce of a quarter of an hour syne.’ “ Oh ! exclaimed the distracted owner, ‘ my —where is the place, 6ho\v me where it disap-1 p cared.’ “ The place being pointed out, he rushed madly up to it, and seemed as if he would have plunged into the watery profound to search for his lost property, or die in the attempt. Being informed that the bogs in this part of the country were perfectly bottomless, he soon saw how vain every endeavour of that kind would be , and so he was with difficulty induced to resume bis place in the coach, loudly threatening, how ever, to make the proprietors of the vehicle pay sweetly for his loss. “ What was in the trunk, I have not been able to learn. Perhaps the title-deeds of an estate were among the contents: perhaps it was only filled with bricks and rags, in order to impose upon the inkcepers. In all likelihood, the mysterious object is still descending and descending, like the angel’s hatchet in Rabbini cal story, down the groundless abyss ; in which case its contents will not probably be revealed t:!l a great many things of more importance and equal mystery are made plain.” The Hermit and the Vision. —lt is told of a religious rpclu?c, who in tho early ages of Chris tianity, betook himself to a cave in Upper Egypt which in the times of the Pharaohs, had been a depository for mummies that he praved there morning noon and night, eating only of the dates which some neighboring trees afforded, and drinking of the water of the Nile. At length the hermit became weary of life, and then “he prayed still more earnestly. After this duty one day he fell asleep, and the vision of an angel appeared to him in a dream, commanding him to rise and cut down a neigh boring palm tree, and make a rope of its fibres, and after it was done, the angel would appear I to him again—The hermit awoke, and instantly opplicd himself to obey the vision. He travelled about, from place to place, ma cy days before he could procure an axe; and during this journey, he felt happier than he had been for many years. His prayers were now short and few; but what they wanted in length and number, they out measured in fervency. Having returned with the axe, he cut down the tree; and, with mot h labor and assiduity do r ing several days, prepared the fibres to make i the rope; and, after a continuance of daily oc- 1 enpation for some weeks completed the com-1 iiiand. The vision that night appeared to the hermit, i as promised, and thus addressed him: “You are now no longer weary of life, but happy. 1 Know then, that man was made lor labor; and prayer also is his duty; the one as well as the other is assential to his well-being. Arise in ♦he morning, take the cord, and with it gird up thy loins, and go forth into the world; and let it be a memorial to thee, of what God exoects from man, if he would be blessed with happiness on earth.” An Amusing Anecdote of Kean, as related T.C. Grattan, 15^:— | “He had never, 1 believe, vet disappointed a London audience, but on one occasion. The circumstances of this he often related to me. He had gone to dine somewhere about ten miles from town, with some old friends of early days, players, of course, fully intending to be at the theatre in time for the evening’s per formance. But temptation and the bottle were too strong for him; lie outstayed bis time, got drunk and lost all recollection of Shakspeare, Shylock, Drury Lane, and die duties they i entailed on hiiu. llis friends, frightened at the ■ indiscretion they had caused, despatched Kean’s ! servant with his empty chariot, and a well l formed storv, that the horses had been fright— ] ened, near th village where Kean had dined, | at a flock of geese by the road-side; that the 1 carriage was upset, and the unfortunate trage daia's shoulder dislocated. The story was : repeated from the stage by the manager; and ; the rising indignation ot the audience (who had suffered the entertainments to be commen ced by the farce, was instantly calmed down into cotnmisseration and regret. The follow ing morning, Kean was shocked nnd bewildered at discovering the truth of his situation. But how must his embarras-unent have been increased on learning that several gentlemen had already arrived from town to : make anxious inquiries for him? He jumped out of bed, and to his infinite affright, he saw amongst the carriages those of Sir Francis Burdetr, Mr. Whitbread, and others o£ his leading friend, whose regaid tor him brought them so see his situation in person. Luckily for him, his old associates, the actors, had, with great presence of mind and practised effrontery, carried on the deception of the previous night. The village apothecary lent himself to it, and with a grave countenance, confirmed the report, and Kean himself was obliged to become a party, nolens volens, in the hoax. Ilis chamber was accordingly darkened, his face whitened, his arm bandaged. A few of the most dis tinguished inquirers were admitted to his bed side; ::o one discovered the cheat; and, to crown it completely,he appeared in an incredible short time, on the boards of Old Drury again, the public being carefully informed that his respect and gratitude toward them urged him to risk the exertion, notwithstanding his imperfect convalescence and to go through arduous parts of Richard, Macbeth, and Othello, on three successive nights, with his arm in a sling!” Genius in Prison. —lt was in prison that Boethius composed his excellent work on the consolations of philosophy ; it was in prison that Goldsmith wrote his * Vicar of Wakefield;’ it was in prison that Cervantes wrote‘Don’ Quixote’ —which laughed knight errantry out of j Europe; it was in prison that Charles I. com- j posed that excellent work, the ‘ Portraiture of a Christian King:’ it was in prison that Grotius wrote his ‘ Commentary on Saint Matthew; it | was in prison that Buchanan composed his ex cellent ‘Paraphrase on the Psalms of David; it was in prison that Daniel Defoe wrote his ‘Robinson Crusoe,’ (he offered it to a book seller for ten pounds, which that liberal en in prison that Sir Walter Raleigh wrote his ‘History of the World;’ it was in prison that Voltaire sketched the plan and composed most of the poem of SThe Ilenriade;’ it was in prison that Howler wrote most of his ‘Familiar Let ters;’ it was in prison that Elizabeth of Eng land and her victim Mary Queen of Scots, wrote their best poems; it was in prison that Margaret ofFrance (wife of Henry IV.) wrote an ‘apology for the irregularity of her conduct;’ it was in prison that Sir John Pettus wrote the book on metals, called ‘Fleta Minoi;’ it was in prison that Tasso wrote some of his most affect ing poems.

Id to the dictations of an ambitious chieftain, | whoso known rule of right, is to usurp powei s nevergran : ted, and use military coercion to establish his ambi tious mandates, and vindictive decrees. But have we, the bumble Editors of “a public Journal, dared to complain of any tiling, 0 matter what, that Gen Jackson does. Have we ventured the assertion, that tho President can do wrong; dare we to complain if the Ge noral Government should pm shackles around our necks, winch our fathers spilt their blood to unrivit If we lis ten to the general out-door clamor, among those who have neither discretion to judge, nor nerve to resist, we should certainly be constrained to believe, that whatever the General done was right, without looking to tlm ,„t ----tcr in issue, or the modusoptrmda of settling the difficulty. But wc have read the Constitution of the United States,” we have read the compact entered into, at the time the states joined in the general confederacy, and we are taught to believe, that the slates severally, have reserved ‘ to themselves, the right at least, of passing laws for their j municipal regulation, and if so, can they be denied this ‘ right within their borders; then, why is the right of ju- i risdiction acknowledged; for why grant the power of ex- ’ tending laws over acountry which lias no one within its limits to execute them, nor subjectssufficieullysusceptible of reason,to be beneiitted by their enforcement. Alabama, like every other state in the union, who owes no kingly allegiance, nor pays rio English fealty to General Jack son’s crown, has extended her laws over her whole state; apart of which, seems to be inhabited by an Indian po pulation, who it appears, have entered into a treaty with the General Government, by which they have disposed of their right of occupancy to the unsettled parts of the country generally, and have secured to themselves, cer tain boundaries by way of reserves, and before the Ge-j nera! Government proceeded to sell the lands, as has , been the custom ia each cases. The state in its sovo ‘ rttgn capacity,baa goncon to tttfUle the vacant parts ot the country not included in said reserves; has organized counties, &c. &c. And after all this has been don.', the people selling, reasonably expecting that the usual facili ties would be granted them in obtaining their improve ments & possessions, at government prices, and that they would be in part rewarded, for the many privations of set ling anew country, hut is it so. Wc see a different spi rit prevails in Washington; wc hear of a band of marau ders called United States troops, going through that country, shooting down whoever dares question their authority or doubts the power of General Jackson to do just what he pleases; destroying the property, and abus. ing the persons of the inhabitants cl the country, in a | manner shocking to human nature, and disgraceful to the very name of republicanism. Are these a part of the sweet fruits of ihe Union ? Aic these the liberties which cost the best blood the country ever did or ever will pro duce?

In consideration of this cession, they receive from the United States an equal quantity of land on the west side ofthe Missis sippi, and one million of dollars to be paid in • various ways—one hundred thousand dollars in goods, to be paid a part now, and a part next year ; one hundred and fifty thousand to be ap plied to the liquidation of claims against them: one hundred thousand to be given to half breeds, in lieu of reserves, which have been applied for and not granted,and to quiet the Ckippawas to a ] part ofthe lands purchased last year ofthe Me nornonies ; two hundred and eighty thousand to be paid in annual payments of fourteen thous and dollars, for twenty years ; the balance to be applied to purposes of education, building mills, purchasing agricultural implements, &e. Stren uous efforts have been made by the commission ers to purchase the reserves in the peninsula, hut so far without success ; their efforts are still continued, and may yet be successful’.” A letter of a subsequent date states, that on the 27th a treaty was concluded with the St. Joseph Indians by which they cede their reserve at Not-a.wasepa, and the one on the St. Joseph, opposite Niles. One hundred thousand dollars was added to the sum previously agreed to be paid to the other portion of the tribe, and they ail share alike.
