THE CONCERT OF PRATER.
“ Wh* it (hit that comefh out of the totUemett
likt pillars ts smoke, perfumed icilh myrrh and
frankincense, with all powders of the merchant .”
Say, what are those columns of smoke which arise,
Prom-the wilderness upward they move,
Majestick and grand, how they darkeu the skies,
Which unfold to receive them above.
These pillars of smoke, thus ascending above,
Shedding fragrant perfhme through the air,
Are the offerings of Faith and the incense of Love
From the Church, at her Concert for Prayer.
From the four winds of heaven these odours as
cend,
Though between them the wide waters roll—
lb the vials of heaven, all happily blend,
’ And are answered with peaee to the soul.
But numbers, alas! who profess to believe,
Refuse by their presence to share
In the blessings and comforts that Christians re
ceive
At the grand monthly Concert for Frayer.
MISCELLNAY.
From the Boston Centinel.

REVOLUTIONARY RECORD.
Mr. Russell —On reading in your last
Wednesday’* Centinel an extract from Mr.
Knapp's biography of Warren, [republished
in the Missionary of Oct. I.] it reminded me
of some circumstances not mentioned by
him, which occurred at the “ Old South,
on the sth of Marcb?l77s, which was the
anniversary of the massacre of several in
habitants of the town of Boston by the Bri
tish troops in 7770.
Mr. Hancock had delivered an oration
the preceding year on the same occasion,
in the course of which he made the follow
ing observations :
“ Standing armies are sometimes (I would
by no means say generally, much less uni
versally) composed of persons who have
rendered themselves unfit to live in civil
society; who have no other motives of
conduct than those which a desire of the
present gratification of their passions sug
gest ; who have no properly in any coun
try ; men who have lost or given up their
own liberties, and envy those who en
joy liberty ; who are equally indifferent to
the glory of a George or a Louis ; who, for
the addition of one penny a day to their wa
ges, would desert f com the Christian cross,and
fight under the crescent of the Turkish Sultan, j
From such men as these, what has not a state I
to fear ? With snch as these usurping Ccesar
passed the Rubicon ; with such as these he
humbled mighty Rome, and forced the mis
tress of the world to own a master in a traitor.
These are the men whom sceptred Rob
bers now employ to frustrate (he designs of
God, and render vain the bounties which
hi* gracious hand pours indiscriminately
upon his creatures. By these the misera
ble slaves in Turkey. Persia and many oth
er extensive countries, are rendered truly
wretched, though their air is salubrious,
and iheir soil luxuriously fertile. By these,
France and Spain, though blessed by nature
with all that administers to the convenience
of life, have been reduced to that contemp
tible state in which they now appear; and,
by these Britain ——!!! but if I was pos
sessed of the gift of prophecy, I dart not , ex
cept by Divine command, unfold the leaves on
which the dest ny of that once powerful king
dom is inscribed .”
At ihat time there were no British troop*
in Boston; four regiments, however,short
ly afterwards arrived, the officers of which
expressed the most decided detestation of
the above inserted quotation, and n3 Mr.
Knapp says, u threatened vengeance on
any orator, who should dare to repeat such
sentiments.” When Warren delivered hi?
oration th* following year, in defiance of
those threat*, the British army had been
re-enforced to nearly ten thousand men, aud
more than an hundred yf the officers atten
ded, secretly armed, for the put pose of tak
ing revenge, on the utterance of any senti
ment, which should he obnoxious to thefp.
The writer of this article was standing
in the broad aisle, near the upper end, and
saw Captain Chapman, of (be Royal Welsh
Fusileers, on the lowest step of the pulpit
stairs, playing with three pistol bullets, in his
right hand, and occasionally casting looks
of contempt on the orator, but more partic
ularly on William Cooper, Esq. the town
clerk, who was seated near him-directly
under the pulpit. Mr. Cooper-maintained
a firm and undaunted countenance, and re-
turned his lookwwvith disdain. I never look
baCk upon that scene without horroiir in
the contemplation of the dauger we were
then in, of a much more horrid massacre
than the one we were then commemora
ting. A trifle lighter than air would base
deluged that church-in blood. When I re
flect on the irritated state of the minds of
both parties, it has always been a wonder
to me that the war did mot commence on
that
The 47fh regimenl (it was supposed by de
sign) parsed the church at this time, the
drums beating with redoubled force. The
regiment was commanded by the infamous
Colonel Nesbit, who, a few days after, caus
ed innocent man to be tarred and fealh-
and carted through the principal
Street in open day, and beaded the party
HIMSELF!!! followed by some grenadier*
and the whole band of the regiment, in de
fiance of that law which he was ostensibly
•eDt to protect.
After the orator had made some remarks
Oh the BMSiacre of the 6th Match, ITW,
be said—
“ And could it have been conceived that
we again should have seen a British army
in our land, sent to enforce obedience to
acts of parliament destructive of our liber
ty ? Bat the royal ear, far distant from this
western world, has been assaulted by tbe
tongue of slander ; and villains, traitorous
alike to king and country, have prevailed
upon a gracious prince to clothe his coun
tenance with wrath, and to erect the hostile
banner against a people ever affectionate
and loyal to him and his illustrious prede
cessors of the house of Hanover. Our
streets are again filled with armed men;
our harbour is crowded with ships of war;
but these cannot intimidate us; our liberty
must be preserved; it is far dearer than
life, we hold it even dear as our allegiance;
we must defend it against the attacks of
friends as well as enemies; we cannot suf
fer even Britons to ravish it from us.”
While this sentence was repealing, Cap
tain Chapman exclaimed— Fie! Fie! It
was at first supposed that fire was cried,
which occasioned a momentary disturbance
—when William Cooper rose from hi*
chair, and with a voice truly Steutorian,
vociferated that “there waa fire, but the fire
of envy, burning in the hearts of our enemies ,
which he hoped soon to see extinguished ;”
looking with indignation on Chapman,
Hawkeshaw and other officers who were,
near him.
I could enlarge on this subject, Mr. Rus
sel, but as I have already extended my re
marks beyond my original intentions, and I
fey encroached or your patience, I will

INTERESTING ANECDOTE
Os the celebrated Captain Smith, -the Father of
Virginia, taken from a small history of the U.
States by Griinsiiaw.
A character so distinguished in the annals
ofVirgioia, so marked by nature, with those
bold traits Os spirit and genius, arrests tbe
historian’s pen, and claims a more than or
dinary notice, a degree of attention in some
measure apportioned to the transactions
with which he is associated.
Capt. John Smith, the father ofVirginta,
was born of an ancient family, in 1579, at
Willoughby, in Lincolnshire, England, and
educated in the schools of Alfred and Louth.
His parents, who died when -he was only
in his 13th year, left him a small estate ;
which, however, through his #wn want of
economy,and the inattention of his guardians
soon became inadequate to his support. He
then accompanied a son of the famous lord
Willoughby into France ; and, after re
maining there a short time, returned to his
} relations, who gave hitn a few shillings, out
; of his own estate, as a sort of acquittance
| from any further demands.
He next served for 9ome years in the
j Low Countries against the Spaniards. —
j Thence passing over to Scotland, he re
mained there a short time amongst his
friends, hut weary of the successive intem
perance of company, in which he had nev
er felt delight, he retired vith a faithful
servant into the midst of an extensive for
est ; and on the margin of a little brook,
entwined an arbour of boughs, in which he
lay, with no other bed than leaves, no oth
er covering except his ordinary dress. His i
study consisted of Machiaval's Art of War, 1
and Marcus Aurelius ; his exercise, a good j
horse, with his Isnce and ring ; his food;
the deer, the rambling inhabitant of the
wood. Satiated at length, by retirement,
he allowed himself again to intermingle in
society, was agaiu disgusted, and entered
into the wars against the Spaniard*; but
abhorring a contest in which one Christian
was employed in the slaughter of another,
he determined to use his sword iq a cause
more congenial with his feelings.
Accordingly, after various misfortunes
and extraoWinary roman'ick adventures,
he joined the Hungarian army, at that time
fighting, under the banners of Austria,
against the Turks. By his ingenious strat
agems, he contributed highly to his party’s
success; and when encamped before the
walls of Regall, in Transylvania, he had an
opportunity of distinguishing himself in a
singular adventure. So much time had
been spent by the Christians in erecting
batteries, that the Turks were apprehen
sive lest their enemy would depart without
making an assault upon the towD, and
thereby prevent them gaining honour in
the repulse ; an honour the more desira
ble, as mauy ladies of exalted rank were
anxious observers of the seige, and longed,
after so much delay, to see some “ court
like pastime.”
in that chivalrous age, whenever a sol
dier fought under the. patronage of a fa
vourite mistress, to request was to ensure
performance. A Turkish noble immedi
ately challenged any captain of the besieg
ing army to single combat, “ for each oth
er’s head.” The Champion was appoint
ed by lot, and fate selected the intrepid
Smith. The combat soon commenced, and
soon the Turk paid the forfeit of hisiiead ;
the ladies were desirous of another trial,
and again the undaunted Smith was re- j
warded with a head ; tbe request was re-;
ppated, and the -issue was the same. Short
ly afterwards, he aided in taking the place
hy storm ; and for his former exploits,which
nothing but the manners of tbe age can pal
i liate, his name was enrolled in the lieral
dick records of Transylvania, with the ap
■ propriate armorial bearing of the three
: Turk’s heads.
PETRIFACTION.
It is a question of considerable impor
tance among naturalists, to ascertain the i
time employed by nature in petrifying bod- 1
its of an ordinary size. Leopold I. Empe
rour of Germany, was desirous that some
steps should be taken for deciding this ques
tion. The Chevalier de Baillu, director of
his cabinet of natural history and some oth
er naturalists conceived the idea of making
researches tfhich might brow iome light |
on the subject. All nioirn geographer*
and historians agree in string that certain
pillars seen in Danube, in iervia, near Bel
grade, are the remains of he bridge which
Trajan constructed overtfst river. It was
presumed that these pilhrs, having beep
preserved for so many Hgi, must be petri
fied, and that they would furnish some in
formation respecting the tune which nature
employs in changing wood into 9toue. Tbe
Emperour, wishing to satisfy his curiosity,
ordered his Ambassador at the court of
Constantinople, to ask permission to take
up from the Danube one of the pillars of
Trajan’s bridge. It was granted, and one
of the pillars was accordingly taken up,
from which it appeared that tbe petrifac
tion had advanced nu farther than three
quarters of an nich in the space of 1500
years.
When the foundations of the cityofQue
beck, in Canada, were dug up, a petrified
savage was found among the last beds to
which the workmen proceeded. Although
it was impossible to form any judgment of
the time at which this man had been buried
under the ruins, yet his quiver and arrows
were in good preservation. In digging a
lead mine in Derbyshire, in 1744, a human
skeleton was found among stag’s horns. It
is impossible to sy how many ages this
carcass had lain there. In 1695, the entire
-keleton of an elephant was dug up id
Thuringia, in Germany ; and some time be
fore, the petrified skeleton of a crocodile
was found in the mihes of that country.
About tfhe beginning: of tbe last century,
the Curate of Slaega p, in the Swedish
province of Schonen. and several of bis pa
rishioners, digging turf in a drained marshy
soil, found some feet below the surface of
the ground, an entire cart with the skele
tons of the horses and carter. It is pre
sumed that there had once been a lake or
pond on that spot, and that *he carter had
perished in attempting to cross over upon
the ice.
By the falling down of a piece of the cliff,
on Walton shore near Harwich, the skele
ton of an enormous animal was discovered,
measuring nearly thirty feet in length.
Some of the bones were nearly as large as
a man’s body, and six or seven feet long;
the cavities which contained the marrow,
were large enough to admit tbe introduc
tion of a man’* arm; the-hones on being
handled, broke to piece*. One of the mo
lar teeth was carried to Colchester, by Mr.
VV. Jackson, who took it from the spot, in
whose possession it now is; it weighs seven
pounds, is of a square form, and grinding
surface ; it is studded with several zigzag
rows of lamin®, •hich seems t* denote
that it belonged to a carniverous animal, j
There were more (eeth which were unfor-!
tunately broken, one of which weighed
twelve pounds. It is probable that the
tusks will be found, by searching further i
into the cliff, or amongst the earth which
has fallen down. Tbe above skeleton is
supposed to belong to an animal of the same
species as that called the Mammoth; the ;
remains of which have bees found in North t
America, Great Tarttry, &c.
A labourer in a stoie quarry in the vil- :
lage of Pautin, near Paris, having detach- |
ed a large block of stone, found in the mid
dle, a skeleton of a nm, petrified. Each !
part of the stone contained a perfect half of’
the animal; the parti were very distinct.’
The block was dug out of natural rock, at j
the depth of 30 feet from the summit of
the quarry. A petrifaction so curious, was
immediately deposited in the Museum of
Natural History. [London paper.
Simplicity and Integrity of the Swiss Mom
•taineers.
A peasant named Frantz, came one eve
ning to look for Gasper, who was mowing
a meadow, and said, “my friend, this is hay
harvest. Thou knowest that we have a
dispute about this meadow; w know not
to whom It properly belongs. To decide
the question, I have collected tbe judges at
Schwitz—come, then, tomorrow with me,
before them.” “ Thou seest, Frantz, that
1 have mowed the meadow—i cannot be
absent.” “ And I cannot send away the
judges, who have fixed on the day—in
deed, we should have known to whom it
belonged before it was mown.” They had
some little controversy on the subject, and
at last, Gaspersaid, “ 1 will tell thee what
thoushaltdo: go tomorrow to Schwitz:
give thejudgesmy reasons and thine—and
I shall save the trouble of going myself.”
On this agreement Frantz went to plead
forand against himself, and drew out the
reasons on both sides as well as he could.
When the judges had decided, he went to
Gasper—“ the meadow is thine—the sen
tence is in thy favour.”
People the earth with such men, and
happiness will dwell there.
BANEFI'L SPIRIT OF WAR.
44 The writtrs of the day have been loud
in their invectives against Napoleon for the
selfishness and utter disregard of life which
he manifested in common with all lovers of
war. Without seeking to extenuate his
faults or eulogize his merits, we may ob
serve, that h perhaps endeavoured to ele
vate himself above the rest of mankind by
stifling all feelings which he. partook in
common with them. He affected to be a
man apart from bis fellow creatures, turn
ing the passioni of men to the completion of
his own purposes, but himself beyond their
control. Accordingly we do not hear that
he wept at the bloody Borodino, or
that he sympathised with the sufferers of
Moscow. He looked upon these events
with the cold eye of apolitical calculator,
to whom the loss of an army was as an er
rour in his arithmetical process. It would
have been in better ttfte, no doubt, to have
deplored the extinction of 300,000 fellow
beings in the horrible campaign in Russia,
than to have exclaimed, while rubbiog his
’ hands over the fire os hi* way homewards,
“this id pleasanter than Moscow.” But
Xerxes wept when viewing his immense
army ; he reflected that not one of such a
multitude would survive a hundred years.
And yet we do not find that Xerxes desisted
from his idle attempts to enslave Greece.
In fact the kindlier feelings of humanity
seem incompatible with such a calling- I
Where blood is to be poured out as water,
and human life is as grass before the sickle,
the edge of sensibility must be blunted,and j
the best feelings of our nature uptorn.”

AFFAIR AT PENSACOLA.
The following may be considered as the official
account of the transaction between Gov. Jack
son and Col. Calluva.
Pensacola, Aug. 22, 1821. _
Sir— Pursuant to your official order of this
date, we proceeded to tke house of Col. Cullava,
who was absent, but on again returning to his
hause shortly after, we found him accompanied
by a number of Spanish officers, clothed with
their aide arms, and Mr. John Innerarity on the
porch. The demand was formally made of the
documents enumerated in your order, and per
emptorily refused ; when he was informed that his
refusal would be considered as setting at defiance
the authority exercised by you as Governour of
the Floridas in the execution of the laws: and
they were again demanded and the consequences
of refusal on his part enumerated, but in which
he still persisted ; and we were about taking our
leave to prepare for the final execution of your
order when Col. Callava desired that if we would
furnish him with a copy of the memorandum set
ting forth the documents required, he would de
livortbem to us, to which we assented. The Al
caite, 11. M. Bruckenridge, accordingly waited on
him -with a copy of the memorandum herewith
accompanied, and informed him that he would
call in two hours for the reception of the docu
ments as promised. YV-e proceeded at the
appointed time and found the gate and front
part of the house closed -! the former we opened
by removing a bar, and on reaching the latter, a
considerable stir seemed to be making in tbe
house ; we knocked several times without re
ceiving any answer, when admittance was de
manded in the name of tbe Governour, in three
instances still without reply. The-guard was
then ordered to advance and form in front of the
hoiue, and part detached to the rear, when it
was discovered that the back door was open, and
several Spanish officers, with Mr. lunararity, one
of your cabildo, were on the porch. We inquired
for C*l. Callava, to which we were answered
they did not kuow where he was—lights were
procured, and the rooms searched, when Col.
Callava was found in his bed divested of his coat.
Demand was then made of the documents, agree
ably to his promise, and to our astonishment they
were still refused, and several attempts made on
his part to show that he was not amenable to the
laws. To which he was answered that the Gov
ernour was in the execution of the laws bound to
demand the papers, as they appertained to the
rights and property of individuals resident in Pen
sacola, and that formal complaint had been made
I that they were improperly withheld, and that the
i Governour knew no distinction between Col.
I CalJavn and any other man under his government.
We then proposed that col. Callava would deliv
er the papers, and he should have our receipt for
them, which was also refused : we then again de
manded them, reiterating our sentiments that his
refusal would be viewed as an open act of mutiny
to the civil authority exercised in the Floridas,
and that he must expect the consequences. He
persisted to refuse, and the officer ol the guard
was ordered to take him and Fullarat, his steward,
into custody, and bring them before your Excel
lency, which is now done- We would add, in
conclusion, that coL Callava repeatedly asserted
that he would not be taken out ofhis house alive,
but he seemed to act without muoh difficulty
when tbe guard was ordered to prime and load.
A corporal and three men were detached to re
main and guard the house of col. Callava, and to
prevent the removal of the boxes which had con
tained the documents, and which Mr. Bracken
ridge reoognized in bis bedroom. From tbe rela
tion in which Mr. Innerarity 9tands in this busi
ness, together with the interest taken on tbe side
of cel. Callava, and at the same time exercising
the functions of one of the cabildo of this city,
we deem it an indispensable duty to recommend
that your excellency will fill his place in the coun
cil with a character who will manifest a proper
respect for the diguity of the laws, and you their
executive. We have the honour to be, &c.
