THE NEW YORK WEEKLY’ WHIG.
THE Second Annual Volume of The New
York Weely Whig is this day submitted to
its patrons and the public. During the brief year of
its existence, it has bee favorably re* eived, and now
enjoys a steadily increasing patronage and sale of 5 to
6,000 copies per week.
The Political character of The Whig is fully indi
cated by its title. It will support the cause of Consti
tutional Liberty, Social Order, and the Supremacy of
the Laws with its whole heart and soul, and expose
corruption, peculation, Jacobinism, disorganization,’
and demagoguism in high places, with omealy-mouth

‘ THERE IS NO STAR.’

There is no star in heaven so bright
As that dark eye of thine ;
The gems that gild the crown of night
With paler lustre shine !
I’d leave the fairest things of art
To gaze upon that face
And faultless form, whose every part
Is redolent of grace.
Thy step is like the wild gazelle":*,
As firm, and light, and free ;
And beauty, like a spirit, dwells,
Enchanting gisl, with thee !
I love—oh, who could ever view
That face and form divine,
Nor feel, when first that smile he knew,
His heart was wholly thine.

THE GHOST.—A TRUE STORY.
Gentle reader, did you ever see a ghost ?
Nay, don’t laugh and turn up your lip so
scornfully! I know what you would sav—
‘ ignorance, superstition,’ and so on ; but first
read the following awful and veracious story,
and if you then affect incredulity, you are
litlle better than an infidel. Be’ it known
then, that I have, from my very childhood,
been a firm believer in the existence and ap
pearance ot those mischievous creatures who,
not being encumbered with bodies, frisk
about at their pleasure, whisking through
keyholes, and frightening old woman and
children out of their wits. Nay, I myself
have seen ghosts without number; but the
most awful visitation of the kind I have ever
experienced was the one I am about to re
cord.
In the winter of 1834, I was a gentleman
of three outs —out of cash, out of credit, and
out of elbows; all my valuables had long
since departed, and I was at length com
pelled to sell my books, when (he ‘ Wealth of
Nations’ relieved the poverty of an individual
I was fast losing mv porlly rotundity of fig
ure and rubicundity of visage, and felt that
if I did not speedily raise the wind, the wind
would ineviiably raise me, so lank and mea
gre had I become ; my ‘ clothes, like a lady’s
loose gown hung about me,’ and my purse
dearly demonstrated the philosophical prob
i If™ of the exislence of a vacuum. To add
I to mv troubles, sundry suspicious looking
j characters (who, like pettifogging lawyers,
practised in the * lower Courts’ and narrow
alleys of the city) in rough great coats and
top boots, with bludgeons under their arms,
had lately been prowling about my lodgings,
making the kindest'inquiries of my neighbors
concerning me ; in fact so far did they enry
their politeness, that they even called upon
me several! times and expressed a most
friendly anxiety to see me. Not having any
particular desire to exchange the luxurious
sofa in- my little parlor for Ihc less agreeable
bench of our Lord and King, all these cir
cumstances warned me ofthe necessity of an
immediate change of quarters, especially as I
saw that I could expect no quarter from my
enemies, when, as I was rather gloomily pon
dering over my ticklish situation, an old
school fellow offered me an apartment in an
ancient mansion of h:s in , with an in
junction to stay there as long as I pleased.
I accordingly despatched mv baggage bv
coach (leaving behind me one baggage who
had assisted in bringing me to mv present
state,) and stealing out sltly in the evening, I
hurried on to the Swan with two necks? to
take my own passage. I presently observed
a rascally fellow following me with prodigious
strides. I mended my pace; fie ditf the
same, until I was at length obliged to lake
fairly (or rather foully) to my heels, and run
for my life. I turned and twisted about like
a live eel in a frying pan, through street -and
alleys innumerable, aud at length succeeded
in distancing my inveterate pursuer, and
reached the office out of breath, just as the
coach was starting. I jumped info’ it, the
guard blew his horn, and away we went, like
•he wind. In the overflowing jnv of my
heart, at my clever escape, I related the ad
venture to my fellow travellers, who laughed
heartily at it, and none more than a frtde
ferret-eved fellow, with a snub nose, and a
green bag, who continued for some minutes
to indulge himself in an internal chuckle which
displeased me mightily, more especially when
the guard informed me, with a knowing wink
and a nudge in the side, that he was a petti
fogging lawyer, living in the very parish to
which I was bound. However, there was
no help for it, though I offered the coachman
a *-o ereign to spill him and break the little
v’Ja n’s neck.
f’ was late in the following evening when I
reached the place of mv destination; and lired
and dispirited, I requested the old woman left
in charge of the house to show me mv cham
ber. The room to which she led me was a
large, gloomy apartment, wainscolted from
roof to ceiling, with black oak, with a huge
open chimney, in which a wood fire was
burning, though, like Dr. Parr, it seemed
much addicted to smoking. In one corner;
stood a bed of an antique fashion, the posts
of which were carved into a hideous repre
sentation of an uncouth shapeless monster,
and overhung with curtains of faded dam
ask, almost black with age and smoke.—
Too much wearied to pay any attention;
to such matters, and wishing my cicerone
good night, I was preparing to undress, j
when I observed that she hesitated, ns if
wishing, yet fearing, to communicate some-1
thing. At length she said that I must not he
alarmed if I heard strange noises in the night,
as the house had been haunted (here she
crossed herself devoutly) ever since hisdealh, j
by the ghost of the last proprietor, who had |
hung himself in that very chamber, in a fit
of despair, at having been beaten in a bout
of cudgel playing, by a neighboring Squire.
Here was a pleasant subject to think of in
the night! and most heartily did I consign
the garrulous old woman to a place 4 not to
be mentioned among Christians,’ f (>r not hav
ing kept her ghost story lor tier own peculiar
solace; hut I was now fairly in for it, and
was besides too proud to hetray the least
symptom of apprehension. When I was left
alone I paused lor some tinlc to consider the
course I should pursue, and then trimmi g
the lamp which burned provokinglv dull, and
stirring up the fire. I seated rnvself in rn an
tique., high-backed arm cbal at ‘ :
book that lav on thr ih: 1
j mig} t get
j book proved to be a history oi ghost-.-, devils
j an d spirits, white, blue and gray, yet there,
was a fascination in the subject, and an in-
. terestin its horrible details, that compelled
me to read on to tl.e following effect: ‘ And
one night, as the aforesaid Thomas Gunn
. was lying on his bed, his spirit mightiiv.
troubled by reason of his great sinfulness, it
came to pass that he heard a strajige and
fearsome noise as of one clanking a huge
chain, and white he was considering what
the meaning of this might be, a heavy thing
came lumbering up.the sftirs, whereupon—
I had read thus far. when, to my horror and
consternation, there arose a dull rattling
sound in a distant part of the house. My
hair stood erect, my breath came short and
quick, and my tongue clove to tny mouth.—
The sound came nearer and nearer, and I
could distinctly hear dor after door opfn and
shut, along the whole range of apartments,
leading to mine! I was petrified terror,
and vainly attempted to my chair;
nearer came that tearful sound and yet near
er, and I strove in vain to whisper a prayer;
the dopr of the next room \v3T opened and
immediately shut again; the next moment
the handle of my room door rattled and
moved ; I gasped for breath ; slowly the door
opened, swinging steadily back, and mv
straining eyes were fixed upon a figure which
appeared in the door wav ; it was that of a
man, about fifty years of age, ihough
features were dim and indistinct, habTted in
an old fashioned suit of a snuff color, with
breeches and top hoots, and in its hand it
grasped a tbrmidable cudgel, such as that
which had been tbe occasion of the death of
the late proprietor, f was nearly fainting as
the figure continued to fix its dull set even
upon me without moving or uttering a sound.
For one. minute he continued to survev me,,
and then slowly he crossed the fhfeshold and
advanced towards me—l could not stir—my
eyes were bursting from their sockets, my
reason was fast failing me, and I felt that I
was rapidly becoming idiotic, while that un
earthly form still advanced closer and doser,
until’ it was within a yard of me. Still, with
out speaking, or turning awav its eye, it
raised its arm, and at length uttered in deep,
sepulchral tones, that thrilled through nav
very bones, ‘ I takes you up for debt, and here
be the writ!! /’
And so it was, dear reader; I was fairly
caught. The hard-hearted villain had track
ed me to the coach office, took his passage
bv the next coach, and meeting the little pet
tifogger, bad learned the place of mv con
cealment. An open window bad afforded
him free admission, and my own childish ter
ror prevented me from escaping*
From (lie New York Herald.
THE ARTS IN PARIS.
A morning lounge of no slight gratification
is now to he found in the exhibition of mod<-
ern artists, lately opened at the Louvre. So
dense, however, is the crowd which the libe
rality of the arrangements of this country ad
mits gratis and uncontrolled to this display
of national talent, that for the first week or
two it was almost a matter of impossibility to
regard with ease the most, or even catch n>
glimpse of many of the pictures so as to form
an opinion of their worth. Horace Vernet
leads the way this year in the size and as
sumed importance of the pictures, if not iu
merit; and his three grand pictures of the
taking of Constantine, destined for the muse
um at Versailles, which, however loose and
wsshy, certainly contain much of his acknow
ledged genius, occupy almost a whole-side of
the great entrance. The ‘Charivari* lately
published a [caricature Jof this rapid artist,
which, independent of its truth of resemb
lance, gave an admirable idea of the spirit of
his historical pictures, in representing him
boldly dashing off a dozen pictures at once,
mounted on horseboek, and at full gallop.—
Delaroche, whose pictures created so much
effect last year at Somerset House, is absent
entirely from tbe arena this year, to the great
regret of all hrs admirers; and Delacroix has
but two pictures, the jury of selection, who
are accused in this circumstance of pnrtv
spirit by some of the public prints, which
take up every thing in a political light, and
and envy and jealousy by others, having re
fused three of his productions. Ary Scheffer,
with bis varied, but powerful style, so richly
poetical in all be produces; Decamps, so bril
liant in coloring, and so bold; Gudia, in his
admirable sea pieces and naval combats; and
Biard, in hrs amusing and well painted scenes
from comic life, have all contributed to en
rich tbe salon according to their respective
style .and falent. At a cursory view, perhaps,
this year’s exhibition may not appear so ge
nerally good as many which have preceded
it; but this is a judgment so universally firm
ed every succeeding year, and so eomtnonfv
adopted bv every critic, on bis first visit, that,
were it to be believed, France must be inevi
tnhly proclaimed in a rapid deeline of talent,
when there is no doubt that it has %ot been

‘ Be it ever so humble there's no place like
home.' —W e think the annals of prison* vvill
hardly furnish a parallel to the following facts,
for which we are indebted to a correspond’
enl :
About the year 1729, James Osborne, of
1 Sherman, in this county, was convicted up< n
a charge for assault and battery, and sen
tenced to pay a snqall fine and cost. The
precise amount of the whole we do not recol
lect, but it was quite inconsiderable. The
amount not being paid, he was committed to
the jail in Danbury, where he remained eigh
’ teen years. As the law has stood during that
j period, he could be discharged from his im
prisonment, only upon either paying the line
! and cost, or giving his note for the amount'..
This fie ever steadily refused to do. The
judges of the County Court, the Sheriffs, and
Slate’s Attornies have all endeavorsd to get
rio’ of him, and.to per uade him to execute the
note, neither one nor ail of them had anv au
thority to release him. But a!! has been in
vain, aad he has remained a tenant of the
prison.
During the session of the Legislature in
May last, a representation of these fact* was
made to that body, and a resolution passed
ordering him to be forthwith released uncon
ditionally. Even then he refused to leave
the jail, and was forcibly turned out. He
returned to his native place, but friends and
acquaintances, with only a few exceptions,
had disappeared. Some had removed, and
were no longer among the living; and he
found iheir places occupied bv another gene
ration of men. He was a stranger in the
land of his fathers, and sighed for his former
habitation within the walls of the prison. He
wandered about for a few monihs. and in
October last returned'to the jail in Danbury
and sought admission- The jailer received
! him and there he now is, occupying one of
the cells of the jail, ar J paying the keeper
two dolls is per veek tor his entertain” •:
