If the highest truth. Vile cannot stop to
consider the matter. How few are aware
that Christianity is.a call to freedom—a
call to happiness. \Vould we but listen, it
would break-these very chains whose gall-
ing wounds \ve have been opening; it
would allay these feverish anxieties; it
would restore to us contentment ; it would
legitimate our pleasures; it would re-es-
tablish, or for the first time build, our
homes; it would give our children parents
and us parents children ; it would teach
us that happiness resides ever in the sim-
ple and impartial bounties of God-in a
domestic lovc———in social intercourse-in
generous sympathy--in a mind pleased
with little things-in
our various innocent tastes——in
nature—in thought——in doing good. VVe
meanwhile barter the substance for the
sliadow—delve for the means instead of
quietly enjoying the end——keep up appear-
ances, deceive others with the
happiness, and fall at length from the top
oflife’s laborious gains into our graves,
worn out with anxieties that have befitted
no one, and carrying neither the recollec-
tion nor the ca'pacH,y of happiness with us
ir.-to- a spi'ritu_a-l existence.

Sla-.'e of the Police in Il:fe:zz'co.-—VVe see
it stated in some of the newspapers, that
the Mexican robbers treated the Represen-
tatives of-Great Britain and the United
States with u'nbccoming severity; that
they left the renowned British captain
stariding in his shirt, and gave our minis-
ter a thrashing into the bargain.
, The story does the “gentlemen of the
road” some injustice. Paul Clifford has’
given to the “minions ofthc moon,” univer-
sally, the character of courtly gentleman;
and no where do they deserve their good
name more than in Mexico. Governor
Shannon himself has favored us with a
pleasant account of his road side interview
with them, and assures us that this con-
duct towards himself was marked by
that characteristic politeness for which
they enjoy such well deserved celebrity.
The governor had theluck to be robbed,
both on his way to the capital and on his
return from it.
The scene of his interview with them,
was some leagues east of the city of Pu-
ebla, where the road, not wide enough for
two coaches to pass, runs for a quarter of
a mile through a baraanca, or ravine, cut
like a canal with perpendiculzir sidcs.——-
The stage was accompaniedby an escort,
furnished him by the .l\Iiexi(:an government.
But a few moments before they entered
the‘ ravine, the captain ofthe escort then
rode up’, and informed him that he had
passed the haunts ofthe robbers, and was
no longer in any danger from them; and,
having received the customary “grr1t1:fica-
lion,” retired. From what imine;liatc!yaf-
=ier took plai:e,tlierc is reason to suspect a
full understanding anda collusion between
the guard and the robbers. Five minutes
afterwards, while the travellers were still
congratulating each other upon having
"passed through all the dangers of the
road llnSCfl‘tll':‘(l, the stage suddenly stop-
ped in the middle of the ravine, and seven
or eight big muzzlcd carbines at once en-
lightened them as to the treachery of thier
escort, and reminded them of the muta-
bilily of ounces from the purses of travel-
lers to the pockets of the road side gentry.
They were politely invited to a conference
on foot, and, making a merit of ncccssiiy,
descended from the stage with as good a
grace as possible. The ceremony of
searching trunls and ‘handing over’ then
began. While it lasted, Gov. Shannon
had an opportunity of observing the tac-
tics of his new- acquaintances. Around
the stage were fourteen in number, all
masked and well armed, each with a car-
bine, a long knife, and a sword, and pis-
tols suspended in belts around the waist.
Seven remained on horseback, with carbine
levclled,ready for action in case of resisi-
ance. The others dismouiited,to search for
and select the booty. In the distance were
some fifteen or twenty Others, stationed as
sentinels. The search was continued with
great order and decorum, and accompan-
ied with all the politest phrases of the
Spanish language. When it' was over,
having duly i1(l:llli‘C(.l COL’. Slianm)n’s (lress
sword, and expressed their approbation of
its workmanship, they returned it to him,
together with his papers. Then with ma-
ny apologies for the detention they had
caused him, they took their leave; not,
however, until they had asked for him the
blessing of God, and invoflcd in his behalf
the protection of the Blessed Virgin, “our
Lady of Gi1uda;’ou])e.”
Another more amusing scene took place
immedia‘.ely afterwards. They had parted
with the first banditti but a few moments,
when another set appeared in the road.
The conductor of the stage, however con-
tinued to drive on; adrcssing them, en ]?!lS-
sant, with incxprcssible izmvc/c and mirth
in his manner, telling them that, unfortu-
nately, thvy were rather too late; that the
spoiled, and the goods rifled.
Gov. Shannon lost, probably, on both
expeditions, in money, clothes, Eco. to the
amount of $500 or :T;3o‘0O.— i'V_zis/2. Um'm.
Cause of Me I?cvoliztz'o72.—lii Tudor’s
Life of Otis the following fact is related:
“When President Adams was Minister
at the Court of St. James, he often saw his
countryman \V<.-st, the late President of
the Royal Academy. Mr. West. always
retained a strong and unyielding afllection
for his native Lind. Mr. West one day
asked Mr. Adams ifbe should like to ta c
l a walk with him and see the cause of the
American Revolution. The minister hav.
ing known something of this matter, smi-
led at the proposal, but told him that he
should be glad to see the cause of the
American Revolution, and to take a walk
with his friend West any where. The
next morning hecallcd according to agree-
ment, and took Mr. Adams into Hyde
Park, to a spot near the Serpentine River,
where he gave him the following narrative,
. —-The King came to the throne a young
man, surrouniled with flattering courticrs;
one of whose frequent topics it was, to de-
claim against the meanness of his palace
which was wholly unworthy of a in=;:uarch
of‘ sucltn county as England. '1 hey said
there was not -.1 sovereign in Europe who
was lodged so pool-ly——that his sorry,
dingy old brick palace of St. James, look-
ed like a stable, and that he ought to build
a palace suitable to his kingdom. The
king was fond ofurchitecture, and would
_ therefore listen to suggestions which were
in fact all true. This spot you see here
was selected for the site, between this and
this point, which was marked out. The
1,-ing applied to his ministers on the sub-
ject ; they inquired what sum would be
wanted by his majesty, who said that he
would begin with a million. They stated
ibe expenses of the war, and the poverty
of the treasury, but that his majesty’s wish-
es should be taken into full consideration.
Some time afterwards the king was infor-
med that the wants of the treasury were
too urgent to admit of a supply from their
present means, but that a revenue might
be raised in America, to supply all the
king’s wishes. This suggestion was follow-
ed up, and the king was in this way first
led to consider and then to consent to
work had been alieady done to their hand ;-
the robbery was just over, ‘me market‘
_. .
Polly Bo_di'ne.—-The Supreme Court, in
session at Utica, ordered a new, trial in
the case of Polly Bodine. They‘ allowed,
we understand, almost every point of hel‘
counsel. The ruling of the Judge, in em-
paneling the Jury that a Juror, in order to
show bias, must have ‘entertained soup-
thinr_r more than a mere vague impressioi,
was incorrect——-as was also the point that
her not liavingexplaiiied where she ads
on the night of the fire was a circumstzmgc
which the Jury were at liberty to consll-
er, &c. The new trial will take place, Ie
understand in New York. Difliculty hills
arisen as to the expense oftlie last triz,
amounting to some thousands. of dollars,
as to whether New York or Richmnrd
county is to pay it. None of the expo‘;-
ses of that trial have yet been paid. 5

Dcsperatrz .r7tlac/2:.-—At Savannali, Geol-1
gia, on Vi-'ednesday last, Mr.John H. Crav-
ford was attacked by an aligator \Vl1ll}t
hauling a seine. The Savaniiah Clouriyr
says : —‘The alligator seized him by tie
thigh, and before his hold could be brokm
he succeeded in laeerating it very SCVCl'l'
ly in several places. '1 here-.were severil
men in company having fire arms, but
could not shoot the crocodile without. er.‘
dangering the life of Mr. Crawford, wlp
after a desperate struggle, succeeded in
forcing him to relax his hold, by putting
his fingers in the aggressor’s eyes, and
thus inaking him wish, if he could not as:
for, ‘fair play and no gouging’ The
wounds received by Mr. C. altliough se-
vere, are not considered dangerous.’

One of our most enterprising farmers

above, rather than below the average ratio.
Co-rn, which did looked well, is shriveled and
curled, and must soon ifno relief comes, be be-
yond hope for a full crop.
Oats, w-liicli had felt the fornier dry weather’
were recovering from its effects, and began to

Bye is good. During the fine Iiarrestl.-'/lg
wsai/ier of last week. several fields were got in‘
and many others cradled, and the present wcclr:
will prol.--.ibl_v see many or quite the whole crop‘
housed. It is well headed and filled.
Pututars, are cc-ming on finely, but a continu-
ancc of the present vrcallicr will very soon cause’

the crop will be at least a usual one.

Some pieces that were sown t'.'Ill_V are up, but
oftlie crop, nothing can yet be told. We should
ihink that there has been more than a usual
amount sown. Our farmers are turning thcirat-
ieniion to the work of ditching and reclaiming
their low scanipy lands, and gi~nci‘ally use this
for the first crop, wliicli accounts in some means‘
ure for the large amount sown.
The heat (lUXll'g the last two days oflast week
and the first oftlie present, was intense. The
mercury on Suntlay, which was the hottest
day ofihe season, ranged as high as ninety six
and eight, in ilxe shade. ’
The condiiion of our gardens under such a_
state oftliiugs can readily be conceived.
Op/illialmic O,::cral[on.——An operation was
performed last week, by Dr. Knight of New
Haven, in the presence of the medical gentle-
men cftliis p'ace,upon the eye (lie has but one)
of Benjamin Bishop, an elderly gentleman ofthe
north-west disirict. It consisted of i‘Cll20l"ll'lg

operation, we are informed, was very successful-

illC patient discovcr'cd light upcu thcrinstant of
the change, before the means for excluding it
had been applied. The operation cccupicdibut
a few minutes.
Poor. MtTcIn:Li..——\Ve are not sorry to hear
that liisdonlic}-'ship, Henry A. i~‘.iii:hcll, Esq. of
Stamford, after years of party servitude and
drudgery, which have brought no other reward
than that ofcold neglect and siiutcd commisera-
iiori, has been by some unacconntal.le party to-
lcn!i.ig,snaIclicd from perinry and desiitution,
andlprovidcd with a siiuation in the Boston (‘us-
tcnillr.-iise, under it salary of some 31,500 a
year. Having cu:livcd all influexice and si.-lfrc-
spcc.t,as well as the respect ofolhcrs, his situa-
tion could excite no other feelings than those of
liumauiiy. W'c are therefore gratified,both that
his needy circumstances have been relieved, and
that ihe cribbagc has leen given to one so pow-
rless for evil. \Ve shall part with him with
reluctance for we shall not, we fear, soon have
his place supplied with so good a subject for
pleasanir_v, or one that could unwittingly add so
much to advance neigliborhocd and local party
interests. I-low our Siamford neighbors will get
along uilhout an embo lymentand but of their
democracy, we cannot readily see. Indeed, we
are somewhat apprehensive that this state of
things will produce achange in their fotunes,
and ihai they will be compelled to witness are!-
rograde movement in their political prospc_cts.—-
bliould this unfortunately, he the case, we will
not be backward in using our efforts to relieve
them, by sending over a very competent person
occasioned by the loss ofbis Donkeyship.

FUGITIVE SLAVES.—-About 100 slaves, belong-

effect their freedom by escape. They took up-
Lheir march for Pennsylvania. The movement
of so large a body excited considerable conster_
nation along their route, and the citizens ofa.
place called Rockville, together with the milita-
ry, turned out with guns and pistols to arresttbe
fugitives, and as they refused to allow themselves‘
to be captured peacibly, they were_firei.l. upon.-
