This drama is a tale of crinfie, sorrow, and re morse—the hero and heroine, the once gay Mark Redland, now Murdock the robber ; Rose Briarlv, erst the pride of the village, the Rob ber’s Wife. Alas! how changed their appear nnce and condition —their complexions stained, their hair dyed ; —the miserable tenants of a wretched hovel, bearing the Semblance of :m inn, to lure the unwary traveller to plunder and ou'rage. The first critne of Rose was disobe dience: her father, to retrieve a ruined fortune, had journeyed to a for conn'ry, leaving his daughter in the care of an old friend, who had promised her protection during his absence. In defiance of duty she married his bitterest foe— the man who had robbed him, and who (though then she knew it not) was an outlaw and a fel lon. Poverty and mutual reproach followed this act ofdisobedience ; and Rose, without hav ing lifted the dagger against the defenceless stranger, was Still the passive agent.of her hus band’s crimes, the sharer of his confidence and guilt. Murdock is the chief of a gang of coin ers, among whom is sawney Mac/Tle, whose vo cation is that of a guide to decoy travellers to the Fox and Goose. This rogue, by virte of a golden ingot, has brought considerable wealth to the common stock —Ins plan is to pretend ig norance of its real value, and offer it for sale to some gull, whos 'cupidity cannot Withstand the : temptation of taking advantage of a clown who 1 sells it as brass : and in truth Sawney keeps 1 his word, for while the bargain is being struck, he dexterously contrives to substitute in its place a similar-looking wedge of the baser metal, which the purchaser unsuspectingly receives ; and thus the golden ingot is a continual mine of Wealth to the gang. Travellers are on the road ; and under the sure guidance of Sawney Macfile, they reach the too o:ninous sign of the Fox an 1 Goose. The one, a 'stranger, return ing to his native village after a long absence ; the other, his attorney, to bear witness (when every body thinks him dead and buried) that his client is not his own ghost, A portmanteau — Murdock volunteers his services to take charge of it, which the stranger declines— pistols! — they must be disposed of, or tint booty is doubt ful. Seated “in the worst inn’s worst room,” surrounded with dilapidated finery, the stronger begins the oft repeated tale of his woes ; but the lawyer, whose throat is as dry as a barris ter’s brief, and whose stomach is as empty as the courts in a long vacation, threatens to enter an action against the larder —and so wretched are its contents, that the attorney, baffled in every attempt to eat, contents himself with grumbling ; and his weary client, seeing there is no other method of allaying it, resolves to s ! cep away his appetite. Sawney Macfile, watching his op portunity, plays off his old trick of the ingot ; and Lawyer Pen fuddle is very pleasantly cheat edout of five guineas in the hope of gain iutr fif ty. At this moment Rose appears on the gallery passage, and descending into the room, encoun ters the attorney. She fixes her eyes up. on him as if she would search infolds very— pocket. Ho retires from her keerr glance to look after his steed, and leaves her alone with the sleeping stranger. She cautiously ap proaches to remove the pistols and sees the port, manteau. Gracious heaven ! can it be ? —She drops on her knees to examine it—the buckles the straps —and yet so many years have pass ed, the recollection may not bo trusted. She turns her eyes on the stranger —his face is cov ered —the suspense is horrible —with a trem bling hand she draws away the handkerchief — she shrieks aloud —the stranger starts from his slumber, and, seizing his pistols, demand the cause of the outcry. She resumes her pre sence of mind—she remembered him in bis na tive village, and from his long absence, thought him dead. She entreats him once more to com pose himself to sleep ; she will sit at the thresh old of his door, nor again disturb him, though ’ her brain be on fire. He regards her with sym pnthy — once, indeed, there was a gentle crea ture 'who proffered all these kind attentions—he had a daughter ; but she had neglected and for got him, and gone he knew not whither. Lose now relates her oten unhappy story, between which and the stranger’s there is a remarkable coincidence. She had been a disobedient child, and her father—if he still lived —lived but to curse her. Impossible a father curse his child ? No, no!—The stranger rushes towards her prizes intensely, and parts the hair on her fore head —alas', ’twas a trick of fancy—the dark coun'enance and raven locks are not those of his child. One question more —if his daughter had married his enemv, would—would he for give her? Never! —Her heart is smote, and she fell senseless into his arms. Among the many dupes of Sawnev Macfile’s ingot, is Larry O’Gig, an Irish adventurer, who in travelling through these parts, had paid the accustomed tribute to Sawney’s ingenuity for teaching the difference betwixt gold and brass ! Determined to hunt out the impostor, he had commenced a search with two officers of jus- tice, and the first party he meets is Mr. Penfud die, who, from the singular communicativeness of O’Gig, discovers that he has also been play ed the like trick. The scene is enlivened with ’the Irishman’s brogue, the lawyer’s vexation, and a ruse performed by Sawney in person, which places Penfuddle in custody of the civil power, as a ring-dropper and rogue. The stranger having determined to sot forth on his journey, it is debated between Murdock and a brother ruffian how he is to be disposed of. Rose, driven to desperation by the im; end ing danger, declares to her husband that, if he or his confederates give the old man one evil eye, or one ruffian thought, he shall die the death of the dog. Mutual recriminations and defiances pass between them ; and Murdock, excited to a pitch of fury, swears, thatpf her father were alive again, he would dare a thou sand deaths to enjoy measure of revenge! He whispers the ruffian his instructions—in ten nu tates the deed shall be done. When Rose drew the handkerchief from the face of the sleeping s'ranger, she discovered with horror and amazement the features of her father! Hence the start of terror —the shriek —the over whelming remorse, that convulsed her frame, and laid her (though he knew it not) a penitent at his feet. Not a moment is to be lost—she informs him of the design against his life, and concerts means to save it. Murdock and Ro dov now enter —she feigns sleep—is this the way to keep watch ? They examine the pistols which are harmless, for the charges arc drawn. She is commanded to leave the room—resist ance is vain—she, however contrives to dart behind the window-curtain, and watch their movements. The robbers break open the port manteau. in which they discover a purse and some letters; during this, Rose gently turns the table round upon its centre, which reverses the situation of the unloaded pistols, and those of Iter husband —she makes a sign, and the strang er, having the hitler within his reach, seizes them. Murdock now proceeds to examine the letters —can it he ?—Briarl v still living ]—Then rs ho within his grasp ! The stranger rushed forth at the exclamation —Murdock snaps the unloaded pistol at him—he is foiled —the gang enter —when Larry O’Gig appears most oppor tunely with his huge shilelah, and Murdock finding till is lost, dashes through the window, j followed bv the Irishman. Shots are fired from : without —a pause of terror and anxiety ensues —O’Gig returns, triumphantly bearing Rose in bis arms —the grateful father once more embra ces his penitent child—the robber has fallen. A Clerical Factotum. —Under this head a correspondent of the London Spectator has ex hibited some of the many abuses which exist in the government of Upper Canada. The expo sition is intended to unmask the avaricious con duct of the stipendiaries of the 4 /Established Church,’ in the American colonies. The wri ter commences with the 4 honorable and venera ble Archdeacon Stuacuax,’ rtf York, who bolus the following offices, and receives their emolu ments. Ist. He is perpetual President of the Board of Education, which entitles him to a sa lary from government. 2d. He is a Legisla tive Counsellor, and one of the most active to ry politicians in America- 3d. He is Rector and Parish Priest of tiic Church of England at; York, for which, in addition to his salary, ho has obtained several grants, which he has leas ed out at an immense profit. 4 : h. He is an ac-. t!ve member of the Executive Council of the Province and receives a compensation as such. sth. He is a missionary of the society for pro moting Christian knowledge, and in this capaci ty receives £278, a year by vo‘e of the Imperi al Parliament. 6'h. Me is one of the principal stockholders of the Bank of Upper Canada, holding several hundred shares in that institu tion. In connexion with his other offices, he sits at the board, as a director of tlie bank, re gulating its discounts ! 7th. He is a member of the clergy corporation for regulating the pro ceeds of a seventh of all the lands of Upper Canada hitherto applied to the use of the 4 Es tablished Church.’ 6th. He is a Justice of the Peace, empowered to act as such in every coun tv in the province, and paid by fees. 9th. He is President for life of the University of King’s College. The manner in which the affairs of this institution have been managed has given so great dissatisfaction to the inhabitants of the Province, that three successive Parliaments have unanimously petitioned to the King for redress —but without success. 1 Oth. He is a member of the College Council. 11th. He is a mem ber of the Colonial Land Council. 12th. He is Senior member of eleven Boards of Educa tion, situated in each district of the Colony. 13th. He is a member of the board of Commis sioners for settling titles to estates, and ns such paid by foes. 14th. He is Acrhdeacon of York in the bishoprick of Quebec, and diocese of Canterbury—receiving therefore £3OO a year. He is also aD. D. 15th. He is a Trustee of' the Royal Institution. Lastly, he is a first rate land jobber and speculator annually clearing many thousand dollars that wav. The open bribery practised at elections in England has often been spoken of. It seems not to have been less freely resorted to in choos ing Vnembers fora Reformed House of Commons than before. The Bristol Mercury gives a print ofa 4 a bribery box” that has been freely resort ed toon the occasion of the late election there, and adds the following note : Al a house, Xo. 8, in King street, the parlor window wasdarkened by the shutters within hav ing been closed with the exception of the lower row of panes in the centre : these were whitened over, except one, which had been removed, and a sliding pannel put in its place. At this pan nel, tiic Blue voter, after he had pulled, tapped : and on its being raised sufficiently high to admit his band, be thrust in his election scrip properly authenticated and received in return a check containing the name of an individual on whom he was to cell for the price of his degradation : and this was practised in the open street, in the face ofa crowd throughout the whole of Thurs day. A Quaker named Pease has been returned to Parliament from South Durham, but he has mis givings, it would seem, from the annexed para graph, about taking the oaths. ° A member of the Society of Friends, by name Joseph Pease, has been placed at the head of the rwdl and returned for the southern division of the county of Durham. He is a man of consider able wealth and of great influence in that part of the county, as this election proves —there be ing in Southern Durham a vast number of per sons who wear the same garb, and profess the same doc rines, as their honorable representa tive. Mr. Joseph Pease, however, has some appre hensions as to his reception in the House ot Commons. He may not court, but he obviously anticipate* martyrdom.—He told the electors that 44 he was well aware that he must go through much persecution tn their cause, and that he should not be surprized if the Sergeant at Arms be ordered to take him into custody.” These fears take their rise in Mr. Joseph Pease’s honest and conscientious repugnance to take the necessary oaths. He declares that he cannot take an oath—that the taking of oaths is unlawful —and that he is resolved to contest their expediency with the Speaker, at the haz ard of being removed from the House by the Sergeant rt Arms.— N.

THE controversy between the City, and the T trus tees pf the Academy, having become one of some interest to the citizens, the City Council have deemed it advisable togive this ?hort notice to the public, of their, reasons for the above Ordinance, and the necessity which called for it. The City Council have been advised and believhd, that when Augusta was laid out and planned by the pro prieto’y government, the common was defined and ap pended to the town, for the common benefit of the let holders, and citizens, as the word “ town common,” itself seems to import. , That being thus appropriated<*.o the public, or com-, mon use of the citizens, this right has never been taken from them by the legislature, or abandoned by them selves. Nor has any act been passed interfering with the rigf-t.of common in the citizens, except at their own request, or for their supposed benefit. That the power to lease given to the trustees, war to lease for seven years, and has long since expired, and, being then given to promote the health ot the city, at the request of the citifeens, should not now i be exercised, when experience has shewn that the enclosure would most probably be injurious to the health cf the city, and is therefore opposed to the wishes of the citizens. That the City Council, have not abandoned the rights of the citizens by paying for a few years for their'own property, in ignorance or neglect of the rights of the citizens, which they failed until recently to investigate. That this neglect is less extraordinary than the un warrantable assumption of a fee simple title in the trus tees, when m fact they never were appointed any thing more than the mere agents of the state to lease. That the trusteesare themselves conscious that they have no legal title to the common, is sufficiently man itested by the desperate step recently taken by them, of causing the common to be run out as vacant Land, under the law securing head rights. The City Council acting only as the guardians of the rights of the citizens, expect their reasonable co-opera tion in the mairttainance of their rights.

March 12, 1833 6tw 77 PROPOSALS ~~ FOR ENLARGING AND IMPROVING THE SDUTHBHIM BANNER, A Papet now published Weekly in Athens, Geo. npHE rafid increase of population, wealth and Intel PL ligence of Western Georgia, have prompted the Editors, of tie “ Southern Banner,” in Jrder to keep pace with tie improvement of the times —to lay before their friend; and patrons, the,folio wing proposals : They intuid abent the first of February next, to publish the “ Banntf” on a large imperial sheet—not inferior in size or style of execution, to any now published in the State —foTthe accomplishment of which purpose, they have ordered from New-York an entire .Hew set of mate, rials. The Editors deem it unnecessary at this late day, to enter into a minute detail of their political creed—they would deem it bat a work of supererogation. Suffice, it to say, their best efforts will always be directed (by dis seminating correct principles, religious, moral and political) to the advancement of the interest, honor and happiness of the people—particularly that portion of them comprising the Western and North Western sec tion of the State; and to whom they mainly look for pat ronr.ge and support. The patronage of the Banner is now respectable, but not sufficient to meet the increase of expenditure that must necessarily occur, in effecting the improvements contemplated. They are sanguine, however, in the hope, that a liberal public will yield to their efforts, that support and encouragement, upon which they alone must rely, for the successful accomplishment of an un dertaking so responsible. TERMS. The price of subscription will be the same as.here tofore—viz : $3,00 per annum in advance, or $4,00 if payment is delayed until after the year expires.

Letters, post paid, addressed to the Editors, or to Albon Chase, Publisher, will receive prompt attention. ALBON CHASE. . ALFRED M. NISBET. Athens, Dec. 8, 1332, , POTTER’S CELEBRATED OATHOEICON.
