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 ed phraseology or craven spirit. It will call knavery and hypocrisy by their right names, and hold them up to the contempt of a deceived and despoiled people. Briefly, it will labor to restore the good old days when integrity and ability were the chief passports to public station, and when high functionaries seriously implica ted in peculation and gross neglect of duty would have scorned io hold office an hour until the charges were on trial disproved and overthrown. It will fearlessly contend for honesty, fidelity, and true Republicanism. It will war against the corrupting influence of Execu tive Patronage, the seductions of Power and Expedi ency, and earnestly Contend for genuine Retrench ment and Reform. In its non-political features, The Whig will strive to be instructive, useful and entertaining. The News of the Dav will be carefully made up from an ample list of Exchanges in this country and in Europe, aid ed by a valuable Foreign Correspondence. Regular reports of commercial transactions will be given, with a Review of the Markets, Bank Note Table, &c. &c. The greatest vigilance will be used to afford a view of whatever is transpiring throughout the worl I. Fi nally, as large aportion of the paper (about one-fourth) will fie devoted to original and selected literature as can possibly be spared from the more pressing de mands of the times. In short, no labor or zeal will be spared to render it universally interesting and accepta ble. The New York Weekly Whig will henceforth be- issued every Saturday on a large imperial sheet of good paper in the Quarto form (eight ample pages to a number) suitable tor preservation and binding, at Three Dollars per annum ; Five Dollars for two co pies, and at that rate for any larger number. No sub scription will be received without payment in advance, nor will any paper be sent after the period of such subscription has expired. Our patrons may therefore he assured that they will not be troubled to stop their papers when they shall no longer want them. Please ad.trrss, J. GREGG WILSON & CO.

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. From the Southern Literary Messenger; LEADING APES IN H * * * . patty’s retort.* ‘ Ah, know you not,’ said Martha’s beau, Whom she that morn had sent a-packing— ‘ The doom that in the realm below Awaits lone ladies, husbands lacking ?

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 in more Vigorous health for many years past —flourishing and likely to flourish’in its cul ture of the arts. ‘ 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” •: •Yonvalk Crve-r . y ear „id ,mck, ami follow it where tie ivas j fawned.
