He that is glorious in appearance, walking in the greatness of his strength! It i3 thy Prince, O Zion ! Christian, it is your Loud !

Never did the returning sun usher in a day so glorious!—it was the ju bilee of the universe. The morning stars sung together, tfnd ail the sons of God shou ted aloud for joy ; the father of mercy look ed down from his throne in the heavens; with complacency he beheld his world re stored ; he saw his 1 work that it was good. Then did the desert rejoice, the face of na ture gladdened before him ; when the bles sings of (he Eternal descended, as the dew from heaven, for refreshing of the nations.” THE MISSIONARY. * MOUNT ZION, FRIDAY, MARCH 16, 1821. The mutability of human’ affairs has ever been the fruitful theme of the moralist. Almost every page of Revelation declares the uncertainty of all earthly possessions, and every day’s experience evinces that all the pleasures and enjoyments of this world art fleeting and evanescent. IJ.e who will call to mind the events which have come within the sphere of his own observation in the course of a few years, will see how great and how many are the changes which time has produced even iu tiie limited circle in which he has been called to act. In such a review he might trace ’he ravages of death, mark the progress of pros perity or adversity in the varying circumstances of his acquaintance, and see how quickly the fashion of this world flieth away. The world at large presents a more extended field’for observa tion, and history is principally employed in re cording the revolutions which take place in it, the rise and decline of empires, and the eleva tion and the fall of. the most conspicuous actors on the stage of human life. This liability to change has been inseparable from all terrestrial objects; ever since sin entered into our world to mar the beauty and destroy the harmony of crea tion, and thus it will continue till this earth shall be annihilated, and time shall be no more. Look forward into futurity, and anticipate some of those events which must inevitably occur; how changed j will be the aspect of things, aud how great the contrast with the present moment. Anew race of beings will be seen to occupy the places of the present generation. The gay and the giddy who ■now flutter and rejoice in the possession of their short lived pleasure, will have given place to others alike gay and giddy, arid who are follow ing them to death, to judgment and to eternity with the same rapidity. Those who are now basking in the sunshine of prosperity, who bless themselves on account of the abundance of their wealth, who add house to house and field to field, will be found to occupy nothing more than the narrow house that is appointed for all the living, while others now buried in poverty and obscurity will have arrived to equal opulence. Those who now possess the honoqrs of this world, who rank among the wise and great, will have descended from tiieir'elevation, while others now unknown to fame will arise to.command the plaudit of the w orld. The man of virtue aud the man of vice will have received the retributions of eternity, and have been succeeded by others who will be-, come the heirs of glory or perdition. This proneness to mutabilily is not confined to the circumstances of individuals, for it is also ex emplified in the history of every nation that has ever existed. YVe need not labour to prove or illustrate this remark, for every one who has read his Bible, or is the least conversant with history, has sufficient evidence of its truth. Os many em pires that once flourished in power and splendour, scarce a vestige now remains, and of those that (row continue it may be said that their present re sembles in no respect their former condition. But we may pass by other nations to anticipate what may be the future destiny of our own happy coun tiy. The light to he derived fYom.the experience of near six thousand years, if followed, may cause this nation to be the happiest, and to endure the longest of any upon which the sun has as yet shone. If trusting to divine guidance, and rely ing upon divine protection, the many millions who will hereafter inhabit its wide extended re gions may perpetuate the liberty and the happi. ness that is now enjoy* and. Sach pleasing ex pectations however appear #n some measure vi sionary, when we consider what has been the fate rtf other nations, and when we view the signs of times. Amidst the decay of publick and pri vate virtue, in the prevalence of ambition, sel fishness and sectional jealousies, we cannot cal \ dilate upon the durabilify of this repuhlick. If righteousness alone exalteth a nation, where is to he found the proof of our future exaltation ? Not in the piety and virtue of the present generation, nor in a disposition to raise monos religion to places of power and trust, but if at all it is among the faithful few j'or whose sake, He whosetteth up and putteth down nations, may preserve our country her freedom and her rights to the latest posterity. The vicissitudes to which individuals and na tions are exposed, furnish useful lessons of moral instruction to all who will regard them. Those who look for changes will be the best prepared for them, am) as their hopes of earthly good will not be raised too high, they will the more cheer fully submit to disappointments. It is hut few, however, who act so wise a part. The great ma jority of mankind live heedless and unconcerned about futurity, and apprehend 110 evil till they are called to experience it. In vain to them does vice exhibit its thousands of wretched vic tims whom she has consigned to the regions of misery and despair, and in vain dogs pleasure di play her (ruin of those whom she has lured from the paths of virtue, of honour and happiness, for they eagerly enlist under the same banners, un mindful of the end of their course. By these the voice of experience, of reasou and of conscience is silenced, and the warnings and intreaties of religion are unheeded and disregarded. Such are only awakened to a sense of their folly when it is forever too late, when the time of life and the day of grace are passed by, and the realities of eterni ty are opened to their view. It is a consoling reflection that among the many changes which take place in the world, some are for the better. The trophies of redeeming graefc are uumerous and increasing. Means are in ope ration calculated to renovate the face of the moral world. The light of revelation now shines in countries which have been immured for centu ries in the darkness of heathenism. Civil and religious liberty are more extensively enjoyed than at any former period. YVe have the assur ances of a still brighter day, when all the nations of this world shall become the nations of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. However we may be distressed by the changes which happen around us, we have the consolation of-believing that the Being who governs, controls and directs the uni verse, also controls and directs all events, and that they will be made to promote the greatest good and happiness of all intelligent beings, * Samuel Sturgea, Esq.

From the Charleston Times, Feb. 28. , Horrid Murder! —The annexed communica tion has been on hand several days, and its pub lication delayed until we should hear from the author, relative to its authenticity. He is now in town, and ready to vouch for its correctness in every particular. YVhilst our readers must, with us, shudder at the bloody recital, they must also rejoise, as we sincerely do, that few such monsters disgrace our state. .The arm of ven geance must, from the crying of this wretch’s guilt, soon overtake him. To the .Editor of the Times. Sir—l was riding on Monday morning last, in the upper part of Prince William’s Parish, (Beau fort District) and saw a number of people assem bled round a dead body, lying in a field near the road side. On inquiry, I found that they com posed a jury of inquest, called to investigate the cause and manner of the death of the body before them, which was that of a negro, shockingly mangled and disfigured. It appeared, from the evidence of an aged lady, mother-in-law to the owner an & meurder r of the | negro, that the unfortunate slave hud been sick j some days, and on the Saturday previous, was in i the kitchen; thation stepping out of the door, ! she saw her son-in-law dragging him, prostrate, I into the kitchen, swearing that he would “ finish I the rascalthat, from the great effusion of blood jin the yard, and the motionless insensibility of I the negro, she believed he was already dead, and told his master so; that he swore it was nothing but 1 stubborn hypocrisy, which he would soon force out of him—and, calling for some boiling water, threw it into the his victim. Find ing all his endeavours to re-animate the body in effectual, he crushed his skull with an axe ! The verdict of the jury, was, “ That life deceas ed came to his death, in consequence of sundry blows of an axe, inflicted on bis neck and head by the hands of his master, Samuel Lewis.” Immediately after the perpetration of this hor rid deed, I.ewis mounted his horse, rode to some of his neighbours who were indebted to him, and after making some collections, went off and has not yet returned. His wife, an amiable woman, lately the mother of a smiling infant, lies sick, even unto death. My blood ran cold in my veins, as I cast a last look on the helpless victim of infuriated arro gance. His fellow servants, (perhaps his rela tives) had prepared a rude coffin, and were mournfully proceeding to restore him to the dust, whence we are taken, and to which we must all return. Wretched, wretched man ! his crime is traced in bloody characters, which years of penitence can scarce efface. An outcast from mankind, he bears the mark of bis crime on his forehead— he shrinks from the scnlinizing eye of innocence. Cain bad a Mahala, to Boften in some measure, the gnawings of the worm that never dieth, but that consolation is denied him—she, who perhaps would have forsaken father and mother to have shared his sorrows—she, whose prayfers, with his,’ 171 might have gained peace; to his soul, ,1111] pardon | to his sins—may, ere now, he an inmate of the tomb. Even the mild pages of the gospel breathe ven-1 geance against the, murderer; and did not the sacred nature of my duties forbid my interference in political and legislative matters, metbiuks I could point out a blacmablc lenience in our crirn- - inal code. • . A PREACHER! Feb. 20, 1820. From, the Columbia (5. C.) Telescope, March 6. Important Invention. —All persons, in any way > conversant with steam boats, have Jong been con-, vinped, that they never would become profitable j until some simplification of the machinery should ! greatly lessen the original cost, make the engine much lighter, as well as less bulky, and diminish very materially the consumption’of fuel. Such a simplification we belive to have taken place. Mr. Minus YVard, an ingenious townsman of ours, has contrived to dispense with almost every article of machinery except thy boiler, the cylinder, and the water wheel. He places the cylinder within the water wheel itself. It revolves upon its own cen tre of grayity; but its centre of revolution is dif ferent from that of the revolution of the water wheel. The piston-rod is the pitman-rod. It operates directly upon the wheel ; and while it forces that around, is itself carried around. The steam passes through the gudgeon on which the wheel revolves ; and is conduced ta and from the cylinder by means of tubes and stationary and rotary valves. The reader will, of course, con ceive but an imperfect idea of the machine from j any verbal description; and more especially, 1 from one so brief as this. Mr. YY’ard has for the use of his particular friends, a detailed specification of all its parts; and we hope, Mr. Cline, that in a future number, you will be able to give his pamphlet entire. Many will doubtless say, “ All this looks very well upon paper; but has the thing been tried ? wilt it work I will it go?” To this question we think Mr. YVard made a very satisfactory answer a few days since. Having completed a model of his machine, it was attached to the toiler of Col. I Blaiiding’9 engine; arid, in spite of various sinis -1 trous predictions, the thing did work , and did go, with an ease and veldcity, which, wt believe, as tonished all present. Os course, Mr. YVard has not been Vo improvi dent as to neglect the proper means of procuring to himself a patent. We hope he will be abun dantly rewarded for this singular display ofinge uuity ; and that, as Fulton enjoys the reputation of first carrying navigation by steam into exten sive practice, the name of YVard will stand re corded to posterity as the man who so far simpli fied the machinery as to make the business profit able. Frrim the Boston Palladium, March 2. From Halifax. —By the Packet schooner Cher ub, captain Athearn, from Halifax, papers to the 1 20th ult. have been received. Mr. Topliff was favoured with several Jamaica papers from his correspondent at Halifax, and the following copy of a letter. Jamaica, Jan. 24. j Extract of a letter 1 from Panama, received by 11. M ship Nautilus, from Porto Cabello. t “ On the night of 12th of Nov. tiie boats of the j Independent squadron, under Lord Cochrane, 1 succeeded in cutting out of the port of Callao a ; j 36 gun frigate. The British frigate Hyperion, and ‘ , the American frigate Macedonian, were at anchor • there at the time ; and a the boats [2l] approach ed the Spanish frigate, some of them, ’being hailed, said they belonged to the Macedonian. Lord •C. is said to have been severely wounded. “On he following day a boat from the Mace- \ | do,.ian went on shore, when the greater part of I her crew were murdered; end Capt. Dowries,who was up at Lima (7 miles distant) was under the necessity of applying to the Vice Roy to get an escort ofsoo men to conduct him on board his ship, the inhabitants were so incensed at the sup posed assistance.granted to the boats.” | The late arrival at Baltimore fron Chagres, I Jan. 27, and the passenger who left Panama on I the 18th of Jan.—although they brought the re j port of the capture of the Spanish frigate, made no mention of tins rumour concerning the Mace donian, or any part of it. YVe learn bv late letters from England, that ] Messrs. Perkins and Fairman, the American ar- I tists who went out to that country at ‘he instance of the British government, have at lat obtained the contra* 1 for e; graving the Bills for the Bank ; of England ; and are now engaged in carrying the object into effect. In noticing the 1000 subscribers erased from ! the subscription list of the Federal Republican for delinquency, the American Watchman says— “ Let their names be published, that any future proprietor may be guarded against their injustice.” I Hon.

The laws which have been recently adopted by our legislature, foi taxing store keepers, steam boats and stages, fur the purpose of establishing a j college in Newark, turns out to be, generally,! vefy unpopular.

Gray,) Black and; YVhitely .were burnt in effigy, in consequence of \ the share which they took in support if it, and it is stated that a similar expression of ‘disapproba tion is contemplated in this place, but (or the credit of the borough we hoyethat nothing of the kind will be attempted. However obioxious the conduct of any individual may be, an expression of disapprobation, by the violation of hw and or der can never produce any beneficial effect. Delaware Gaz. Ballimore , Feb. 9. A society composed of free people of colour haS been formed in this city under the narae of the Maryland Haylian Company, having far its object - an inquiry into the expediency o!” the emigration of persons of coloui from the United States to the Repuhlick of Hayti. An agent was accordingly appointed -to proceed to Port au- Prince, who has made a report of his observations. Anew mode of apprehending thieves has been resorted to in England. Some of the officers'of the Police have disguised themselves as geatle men, and wish a large bunch of seals dangling about, to which a number of sharp fish-hooks are fastened,’have paraded the. puhlick streets. One of the officers, thus equipped, had been picked up hy two nymphs. One of them stole hisjpocket hook, which had been emptied.for the piupose, whilst the other made a grub at his seals, and was hooked fast. They were both takeu tp the office and committed. According to a statement lately presented to the legislature, it appears, that the Boston Ranks ! have in circulation notes to the amount of only’ $1,223,023—and that they have on hand in gold | and silver, $2,454,891, S3—nearly two dollars of specie to one of paper. A letter to the F.ditor of the Petersburg Intel ligencer, from a friend at Washington, after des- ! cribing the extraordinary scene in the house of representatives oil the occasion of counting the votes for president and vice president, concludes with the following curious relation : | “A singular Incident as an accompaniment of the whole, may he considered as worthy of no j <jce. The sitting was protracted til! after caudle- I light. ‘The day had been exceedingly foggy, still, 1 apd dark. Directly after sunset the wind sprung ! up from the west and blew a gale. The national : flag was flying as usual from the summit of the ’ capitol during the whole day’s session. Late at night to the great surprise and astonishment of all who saw it, the flag was yet flying and violently agitated by the stregnth of the wind. The moon shone with extraordinary brightness, except that j its beams were occasionally intercepted by a suc cession of uncommonly white fleecy clouds, car | ried with immense impetuosity through the at mosphere. On inquiring the next day how the flag came to be in the situation described, the of ficers of the house whose business it was to strike it at the moment of adjournment, declared tlmt they found it impossible to do so in consequence of the halyards and colours being confined to the staff in such a manner that it could not be made to work without sending someone aloft, which was deemed 1 too hazardous at that time of night, and during euch a storm. The next day it was gotten down, and on examination the colours were found greatly damaged,and .one stripe torn off! What would the immortal author of the tragedy of Julius Caesar have done with such inci dents, if they had had happened in Rome.” “ Honest Thieves!" —On Friday night, the store No. 15 North Front street, was entered, and articles to a trifling amount stolen therefrom, be sides fifty dollars Augusta Bridge notes, and a few five dollar Silver Lake notes, believed to be spu rious—Also, halves of 150 dollars sundry bank notes. % This morning a letter inclosing the latter was received through the post office, of which the fol lowing is a copy: “ Friday evening, 12 o’clock at night. Sir — l am very sorry that your notes were only halves, as I was very much in want of money, but as they would not suit me I think proper to i send you them hack, so if you are satisfied I must—l would much rather they would have been whole ones. RINALDO RINALDINI.” The owners of the half notes consider thera | selves hound, to return their thanks to Kinaido ! Rinaldini for his polite attention—he has funiish • ed proof that he did not wish to inflict injury : without any corresponding advantage to himself. If the post office thieves who stole the corres ! ponding halves (but who are no doubt above the : mealiness of entering a store at night, for the purpose of robbery) w'oulJ take a hint from their inferiours in’ the profession, the remaining halves, which can he of no use to the holders, would be thankfully received and - gratefully acknowledged. The letter, and inclosure, alluded to, was put into the Kaskaskia post office some months ago, addressed to a house in this city, but has never come to hand. [Phil. Gaz. Buffalo, Jan. 30. Singular Occurrence. —On Monday week a stranger crossing the Niagara from Qoeenstowu i to Lewistown, on the ice, leading iiis horse, when two thirds of the distance across, turned his 1 head to see his horse, when behold! he had only i the bridle in his hand. Being only a short dis tance below the Devil's Hole, and persuaded 1 nothing but the arch demon himself could have so , suddenly caused the horse to vanish, he ran with | astonishing agility the residue of the distance to i the American shore. The fac* was, the ice in several places had parted for 3 or 4 feet, and I caused chasms from 15 to 20 feet deep, down to 1 the water, and those {daces had been filled up by ’ the ferrymen sufficiently wide to admit sleighs crossing with safety ; this person must have cros sed very near the edge of one of them, and the bridle being probably sliglAly placed on the j horse’s head, slipped off when the horse fell and disappeared. * Kentucky Shooting. —On Newyear’s day, there was a shooting match in the vicinity of Lexington, Kentucky, in which six Riflemen were engaged, ‘each of whom shot eleven times, and he who placed the six nearest balls to the centre, was the winner. Distance one hundred and five yards, off hand. The prize was won by Mr. M’Connell, a | native of Fayette county, who placed seven balls 1 within an inch of the cross.

[E.Porf. A poor culprit, of the name of Gabriel Rolette, who was conv'cted at a late quarter sessions in Canada, for stealing blank bank notes, and sen tenced to receive a publick whipping, appears to have been peculiarly unfortunate in his several applications for pardon and indulgence. On re ceiving his sentence, Gabriel prayed hard with the judge to be allowed to fiud a substitute, to receive the ccrporal The hutnw bus nature of this application ought to have re taxed the severity of the magistrate, but it had no effect. A second application, to be whipped in the dark , was equally unsuccessful; the poor fel low was compelled, in propria personae, and in open day, to submit to the degrading punishment.

And L'Auriot, the French Missionary who had been 27 years at Pekin, is expelled from the country. He arrived at Can-’ ton yesterday.” The following singular method of administering an oath is practised atjiongthe Chinese. A china saucer is placed in tRe hauds of the individual to be sworn, and the person administering the oath exclaims, “ You shall tell the truth and the whole truth; for the saucer is cracked, and if you do not tell the truth, your body, cracked like the saucer, shall be dashed in pieces.” On which the witness dashes the saucer to the ground, and breaks it to pieces.
