From tWN. Y. Com. Adtertwer.
TO YEAR. v
Thou desolate aftd dying year!
Emblem of transitory mao,
Whose wearisome and wild career,
Like thine, is bounded to a span;
It seams hot as a little da;
Since nature smil'd upon thy birth.
And Spring came forth in fair array,
To dance upon the joyous earth.
Sad alteration—now how lone—
How rerdureless is nature’s breast,
Where ruin makes his empire known,
In Autfunn’s yellow vesture drest;
The sprightly bird whose carol sweet
Broke on the breath of early day—
The Summer flowers sfee loved to greet —
The bird—the flowers—Oh, where are'they ?
Thou desolate and dying year !
Yet lovely in thy lifelessness,
As beauty stretch’d upon the bier
In death's clay-cold and dark caress ;
There’s loveliness in thy decay,
Which breathes, which lingers round thee still,
Like memory’s mild and cheering ray
Beaming upon the night of ill.
Yet—yet, the radiance is not gone
Which shed a richness o’er the scene,
Which smil’d upon the golden dawn
When skies were brilliant and serene—
O still a melancholy smile
Gleams upon nature's aspect fair,
To charm the eye a little while
Ere ruin spreads bis mantle there!
Thou desolate and dying year !
Since Time entwin’d thy vernal wreath,
How often Love hath shed the tear
And knelt beside the bed of death :
How many hearts that lightly sprung
When Joy was blooming but to die,
Their finest chords by death unstrung,
Have yielded life’s expiring sigh,
And pillow’d low beneath the clay.
Have ceas’d to melt, to breathe, to burn—
The proud—the gentle, and the gay
Gather’d unto the mouldering urn—
Whilst freshly flowed the frequent tear
For love bereft—affection fled—
For all that were our blessings here,
The lov’d—the lost—the sainted dead I
Thou desolate and dying year !
The musing spirit finds in thee
Lessons impressive and severe,
Os deep and stern morality—
Thou teachest how the germ of youth
Which blooms in being’s dawuing day,
Planted by nature—rear’d by truth—
Withers like thee in dark decay.
Promise of yonth ! fair as the form
Os heaven’s benign and golden bow,
Thy smiling arch begirds the storm,
And sheds a light on every Woe ; !
Hope wakes for thee, and to her tongue, j ‘
A tone of melody is given,
As if her magick voice were strung
With the empyrean fire of heaven.
And Love—which never can expire,
Whose origin is from on high,
Throws o’er thy morn a ray of fits
From the pure fountains of the sky ;
That ray which glows and hr.ghtens still
Unchang'd, eternal and dirjne ;
Where seraphs own its M£y thrill,
And bow before its gleaming shrine.
Thou desolate aud/lyingyear 1
Prophetick of out final fall,
Thy buds are gt>ne—thy leaves are sear,
Thy beauties shrouded in the pall ;
And ail thy garniture that shed
A brilliancy upon thy prime,
Hath, a mo ming vision, fled
Unto the expanded grave of Time.
7/uae ! time ! In thy triumphal flight
/How all life’s phantom’s fleet away—
The smile of hope, and young delight,
Fame’s meteor beam, and fancy’s ray,
They fade—and on thy heaving tide
r Rolling its stormy waves afar,
Are borne the wrecks of human pride v
The broken wrecks of fortune's war.
Therein disorder,dark and wild
Are seen the fabricks once so high,
Which mortal vanity had piled
As emblems of Eternity !
And deem’d the stately piles whose forms
Frown’d in their majesty sublime,
Would stand unshaken by the storms
That gather’d round* the brow of Time 1
* # * *
Oh ! thus hath life its even-tide
Os sorrow—loneliness—and grief—
And thur divested of its pride
It withers like the yellow leaf:
Oh; such is life’s autumnal bower
When plunder’d of its summer bloom—
And such is life’s autumnal hour
Which heralds man unto and tomb.

MISCELLANY.
PENITENTIARY SYSTEM.
‘"[Extracts from tbe North American Review.]
The remedy for the evils of tbe present
[Penitentiary] system most frequently sug
gested, and most strongly confided in by i
some persons, is, to Testore the good old I
system of Hogging, branding, pillorying,
gibbettiag, &c. Sic. Now, without admit
ting, for a moment, the possibility of such
a return to ancient barbarism, such a retro
grade step from civilization, let us examine;
la little into the operation of sues p<w
meats,and aee whether in point of utility
as todiaioishlng the amount of crime, they
will bear a comparison with the modern
system oflabour and seclusion,imperfect as
these latter may be. By the old code, n
convict, for a small crime, was punished
with imprisonment and whipping. As to
imprisonment, which, under that system
kept the prisoners rotting in idleness, we
presume that it will be admitted by every
one,that whilst the prisoner is incarcerated,
. it is better that he should be kept at hard
labour ; the old method of simple impris
onment, which formed a part of the sen
tence of every criminal, we shall therefore
‘consider as abandoned even by the most
strenuous advocates of the old laws, and we
shall only speak of the personal inflictions.
To commence with whipping—not to dwell
on its inconsistency under a free govern
ment, what is the effect on the criminal who
has committed some offence for which he
is sentenced to hard labour for two years ?
In former times he would have been im
prisoned a shorter period, and receive 50
lashes. After being openly exhibited as a
spectacle of the lowest infamy, with a
smarting back and famished belly, he is
turned loose, to do what ?—to find employ
ment ?—who will give it to him ?—No,
smarting with infamy, and shunned by ev
ery one, he must commence bis depreda
tions, with increased brutality of feeling. If
he should be confiued at hard labour for 2
years, he will at least have been kept from”
mischief during that time ; he may, as some
have done, see the folly of his course, and
coming out with less notoriety of infamy,
he stands a better chance to procure some
employment, if he has a disposition-to be
honest. But in this case of corporal inflic
tion, we have only taken the first stage
which presents the least difficulty. The
convict who has received fifty stripes for a
first offence, commits a second ; there must
be some gradation in the sentence; fifty
lashes were not sufficient, he must take a
hundred. But his chance for employment
is no better ; he must live ; he is brought
forward a third time—there must be some 1
proportion in the punishment, he is senten
ced to five hundred lashes—but this be
comes torture, and it is in vain to propose
it; no legislature in this country would Ii- 1
ten to it for a moment. Now by the pres- j
ent system, the same criminal for his second
offence might have been sent, (at least in >
Massachusetts,) to the state prison for ten !
years ;if he survived this, and became guil <
tv a third time, he would be sent there for 1
life, be made to labour for his subsistence, f
the publiclt would be safe from his depre- j
dations, without having his back or their t
feelings lacerated by the infliction of t o'. <
ture. t
One striking advantage to publick 1
by the labour plan of punishment, and <
: which seems hardly appreciated, is, that 1
the culprit being hut ‘up for a length of <
time, at least during that time, the publick ‘
are protected from his depredations. Sup- *
posior even, that he could be made to earn 1
no’iimg during his confinement, it would be <
r. saving to the community. If a neigh- ’
bourhood were infested by a wolf that kept
them in continual alarm, and whose indis- ,
criminate ravages might do them the great- i
est mischief, would not the inhabitants pre- i
fer feeding him with even merino sheep, if J
he could be shut up, rather than run the ‘
risk and feel the anxiety of bis midnight j
prowling ? ;
To return to the other inflictions that ac- f
company the whipping system, the pillory, ‘
the branding irons, &c. these must be resor- 1
ted to where whipping alone is not enough; ]
but we think it useless to discuss these por- i
tions of exploded barbarity, which a virtu- l
ous and humnue people will never again 1
suffer to be exhibited among them, and •
shall offer only one femark on the cruelty
and stupidity of the practice of branding, a
genuine relick of the dark and ferocious
ages. We ask what can be more cruel an<l
stupid than this punishment, if the criminal
is ever to be set at liberty, and what more
superfluous, if he is not ? A wretch is dis
charged with an indelible “mark, to warn
every human being against him, to inspire
horrour at his first aspect, and to condemn
him inevitably to become a desperate out
law. The only excusable pretext for it
would be, when applied to atrocious crimin
als condemned for life, so that they might
be known every where if they made their
escape; but this purpose may be effected
in other ways without resorting to this bru
tal expedient.
There are some persons who thick that
the meliorated code does not inspire suffi
cient terror, and that there would be few
er crimes if there were more executions.
Nothing can be more mistaken than this
opinion, and no one position in relation to
this subject more capable of being proved
by facts, than t)iat crimes have heen most
abundant in those countries where sanguin
ary inflictions have been most frequent;
that violent crimes have decreased in pro
portion, as capital punishments have been
diminished; and that so far, as the fear of
punishment can operate to prevent the
commission of offences, it is the certainty
and not the severity that produces the ef
fect. It is also absurd to talk of multiply
ing executions, in the present state of pub-
I lick feeling ; it is useless to recommend
hanging criminals for theft or forgery,
when the repugnance to capital punishment
is so deep and universal, that even in a
clear case of is always some
solicitude lest a jury should not have firm
ness enough to bring in a verdict of guilty.
! The feeling against the punishment of death
I* 3 very strong, and the class of persons who
I hold that human tribunals have no right to
| take away the life of a man in any case,
whether they be wrong or right in their
opinion is certainly increasing.
Reflecting minds will not fail to perceive,
that this sentiment against, all violent
and bratal chastisements, and all execu
wttf a much wider scope than the
mere consideration, shout a few guilty
wretches who have perpetrated atrocious
crimes. Those who ire opposed to taking
sway life in any case, assert that perpetual
incarceration, with all privations that may
be made to accompary it, is the most se
vere of all punishments, and far more
dreadful than any tint can be directed
against life and limb:—that violent puni
tions were the invention ot barbarous ages,
and were ca!culated:o perpetuate the spirit
they harmonized with: —that a thorough
feeling of religious humility, and a proper
reverence for Almighty providence, for
bids the destruction of what he alone could
rreate; —that the exhibition of every act of
violence engenders harsh and ferocious
feelings, and when this is exhibited under
the formality and sanction of the laws, its
influence is more deleterious, than even
the sudden effects of private passiop ; that
the infliction of stripes, torture and death,
even or the most odious criminals, has a
direct tendency to degrade human na
ture that the abolition of capital punish
ments is of far other importance, than the
life of a miserable convict which may be
almost wholly worthless; that in getting
rid of all these acts of legal vengeance
which cut off criminals in a violent manner,
you raise the value of human life; and the
ultimate tendency of the system is, to dis
courage war and all the forms of violence,
by which human life is considered as insig
nificant, and to be wasted with impunity.
These persons contend, that the whole
spirit and the ultimate eod of Christianity is
to banish all deeds of violence; and that
the laws are contradictory to it, and infec
ted with arcient barbarism, until their ex
ample, which has the most commanding in
fluence, shall consider the life of the mean
est and most guilty human being, as sacred,
and its-destruction under any circumstances,
as unjustifiable.
Whatever extravagance there may be
in these opinions, there can be no doubt,
that their adherents are increasing in this
country ; and that a disposition to do away
all public displays of corporal inflictions,
and to lessen the number of capital punish
ments, is gaining ground in all countries
where any principles of liberty, or any ex
ercise of publick opinion have an influence
on the administration of civil government.
The existence of this disposition is shewn
in a variety of ways, and where the laws
are not modified to meet it, a spirit will be
engendered to counteract them. It is one
of the highest qualifications in a legislator
to be abla to perceive and to guide the feel
ing of his age ; and if his views fall behind
it- he will be no more than a mere attorney
or scrivener, compiling new regulations on
the basis of superannuated precedents, and
all his laboured enactments will be practi
cally evaded. If the publick think any
punishment too severe, juries will refuse to
convict the criminal; and many offenders
will escape from being prosecuted at all, or
from being convicted if they are, when the
penalties are more severe than the feelings
of society require or will endure.
* “ A cruel criminal code is the parent of pu
sillanimity. A nation broken to cruel punish
ments becomes dastardly aud contemptible. For
in nations, as well as individuals, cruelty is al
ways attended by cowardice. It is the parent of
slavery, tn every government we find the genius
of freedom depressed in proportion to the san
guinary spirit of the laws. It is hostile to the
prosperity of nations as well as to the dignity and
virtue of men. The laws which Draco framed
for Athens are said emphatically to have been
written in blood. What did they produce? Ar
aggravation of those very calamities which they
were intended to remove. A scene of the great
est and most complicated distress was according
ly exhibited by the miserable Athenians, till they
found relief in the wisdom and moderation of So
lon.” Wilson's charge at a Circuit Court in
Maryland , 1791.
SINGULAR STRATAGEM.
Freni Sully'a Memoirs.
The manner in which Fescamp [a garrison in
France taken in the year 1593] was surprised is
so remarkable that it well deserves a particular
recital here. When this fort was taken by Birori
from the league, there was in the garrison that
was turned out of it, a gentleman called Bois-rose,
a man of sense and courage, and remarkable for
uncommon strength of body, who making an ex
act observation of the fiVce he left, and having
concerted his scheme, contrived to get two sol
diers whom he had bound to his interest, to be
received into the new garrison which was put into
Fescamp by the royalists. That side of the fort
next the sea is a perpendicular rock, about six
hundred feet high, the bottom of which, for about
the height of twelve feet, is continually washed
by the sea, except four or five days in the ygar,
during the utmost recess of the sea, when for the
space of three or four hours, it leaves 15 or
20 fathoms of dry sand at the foot of the rock.
Bois-rose, who found it impossible by any other J
way to surprise a garrison, who guarded with ,
great care a place lately taken, did not doubt of
accomplishing his design, if he could enter by that l
side which was thought inaccessible ; this he en-1
deavoured to perform by the following contri
vance.
He had agreed dpon a signal with the two sol- 1
diers whom he had gained over, and one of them ;
waited for it continually upon the top of the rock
where he posted himself during the whole time
that it was low water. Bois-rose, taking the op
portunity of a very dark night, came, with fifty
resolute men, chosen from amongst the sailors, in
two large boats, to the foot of the rock. He had
provided himself with a thick cable, equal in
length to the height of the rock, and tying knots
at equal distances, run short sticks through, to
serve to support the men as they climbed. The
soldier whom he had gained, having waited six
months for the signal, no sooner perceived it, ■
than he let down a cord from the top of the prcci- j
pice, to which those below fastened the cable j |
by which means it was drawn up to the top, and j
secured in. an opening ill the battlement with a!
strong iron crow run through a staple made for j
that purpose. Bois-rose giving the lead to two!
sergeants, whose courage he was well convinced
of, ordered the fifty men to mount the ladder in
the same manner, one after another, with their
weapons tied round their bodies, himself bringing
up the rear, to take away all hope of returning;
which indeed soon became impossible, for before
they had ascended half way, the tea rising more
than six feet, carried off their'boats, and set their
cable The impossibility of withdrawing
from a difficult enterprise, is not always a security
against fear, when the danger appears almost in
evitatye. If flje m.ind repretents to itself Jhese
fifty men, suspended between heaven and earth,
in the midst of darkness, trusting their safety ton
machine so insecure, that the least want of enu
tion, (lie treachery of a mercenary soldier, or the
slightest fear might precipitate them into theliby ss
of the sea, or dash them against the rocks ; add
to this, the noise of the waves, the height of the
rock, their weariness and exhausted spirits, it will
not appear surprising, that the boldest among
them trembled, as in effect be who was toremost
did. Tliis sergeant telling the next man that
Ids heart failed him, Bois-rose, to whom this
discourse passed from mouth to mouth, uud
who perceived the truth f it by their advancing
1 no higher, crept over the bodies of those thrit were
I before him, advising each to keep firm, and got
• up to the foremost, whose spirits he at first en-
I deavonred to animate ; but finding that gentle
ness would not prevail, he obliged him to mount,
by pricking him in the back with his poniard : and
doubtless it he had not obeyed him, he would
have precipitated him into the sea. At length,
! with incredible labour and fatigue, the whole
| troop got to the top of the rock, a little before 5
’ the break of day, and were introduced by the two i
i soldiers into the castle, where they began to
I slaughter without mercy the centinels and the
! guard ; sleep delivered up nearly the whole gar
’ rison an easy prey to the enemy, who kill-.d all I
j that resisted, and thus possessed themselves of
the fort.
Natural production of Washington's Likeness.
A letter has been published in the Franklin Ga
zette, from James Allen, Esq. dated at Harper’s
Ferry, (Va.) giving an account of an excellent
profile of the illustrious Washington, formed in j
the stupendous rocks which overhang the l’oto
mack, situated high up the promontory on the
Maryland side of the river, looking northward. I
Such, adds the writer, was tlies worth of the man,
that nature, proud of iter choicest productions of
excellence, has caused even rocks to identify his
visage, that succeeding generations may venerate
and hold him in grateful remembrance.
Lctndost, Oct. 19.
The British Empire. —We inserted a para- 1
graph yesttrday, estimating the population of the
British Empire (including under that name its col
onies and possessions in America, the West Indies, -
the East Indies, on the coast of Africa, &c.) at
95,220,000 souls. The Russian, .the next highest
in the scale of civilized nations, contains 50,000,
000 ; France, about 00,000,000; uud Austria an j
equal number. The Roman Empire, in all its
glory, contained 120,000,000, one half of whom
were slaves. When we compare its situation
with that of the British Empire, in wealth, resour
ces, and industry, the arts, sciences, commerce,
and agriculture, the preponderance of the latter
in the scale of nations and empires, is great and
most remarkable. The tonnage employed in the
merchant service is about 2,640,000 tons for
Great Britain ; the exports, £51,000,000 (inclu
ding £l 1,000,000 foreign and colonial) : and im
ports £36,000,000. The navy during the last
war consisted of one thousand ships of war ; the
seamen at present in the merchant service are
about 174,000 ; the gross revenue of the state
£57,000,000. The capital of the Empire con
tains 1,200,000 persons, the same number which
Rome contained in the days of her greatest
strength. The value of fixecHor landed property
in Great Britain, as calculated by. Mr. Pitt, in
1797, was £1,600,000,000; and it may now be
fairly taken at £2,000,000,000. The cotton
manufactures of the country are immense, and
reach, in the exports, to 20,000,000, nearly one
half of the whole. In short, taking every thing
into consideration, the British Empire, in power
and strength, may be stated as the greatest that
ever existed on earth, as it far surpasses them all,
in knowledge, moral character and worth. On
her dominions the sun never sets ; before his ev
ening rays leave the spires of Quebeck, his morn
ing beams have shone three hours on Port Jack
son, and while sinking from the waters of Lake
Superiour, his eye opens upon those of the Gan
ges.
The royal squadron, in its recent visit to the
French coast, had reached mid-channel, when
his majesty, who was alternately viewing Dover
and Calais, by-nn unceremonious twist of the an
cle, most ungraciously took measure .of his ma
jestick peison on the deck. This created a mo
mentary bustle around him, aud to the anxious in
quiries for the cause, a sailor who was perched in
the mizen top, replied, “ His Majesty has just
found himself half seas, over.”
A shopkeeper at Doncaster had fbr hi3 virtues
obtained the name of the little rascal. A stranger
asked him why this appellation had been given
him? “To distinguish me from the test of my
trade,!’ qnolh he, “ who are all great rascals.”
