Among them remnants of humanity, for instance, there is the body of a pions gentlewoman, who, while she eontiourd above ground, shunned the eyes of men to the reemors of • convent. But the veil of death has not bee* respected. She stands the very first no the memo's list of posthumous rarities, and one of the meat valnable appendages of less office. She is ?us boned treasure. Her sapless cheeks yield him a larger rent than some acres of 'rabic land : end. what NI worse, now that she cannot repel the imps tatiors, he culls her to her fare "The Old - Nun." In ennt of fact, l nuclei-stn.:el that her age was one bundled and eleven, not including the forty years that have elapsed since her second burial in St. &Otis, as has been often ohsrrvrd, is a thorough I, aid levels all distinctions. It is so in this place. Beside the Null there sleeps, not a vener. • ale shbess, o► timid novice, or meek and holy friar, but an athletic young felon of the 17th cen tury, who had shed a brother's blood, and was sentenced for the offence to the close custody of St. &lichsn's vaults. This was about one hundred and thirty years ago. The offender belonged to■ family at some consideration. which accounts for his bring fiend in such respectable society. The preservative quality of these walls is various in its operation than subjects of different ages and votiwitutions. With regard to the latter, however, it does not appear that persons who had been tern. pirate livers enjoy anj peculiar privileges. The departed toper resists deci as sturdily as the as retie; supplying Captain Morris with another reason fair. to till his glass spin." But it is Itimertained that children are decomposed almost as .sapidly here as elsewhere. Of this. a touching iilleatratinia occurs in the case of a female who died *4 about a century ago, and was depo lkited to St. Michels's. Her infant was laid in her • aka'. The mother is still tolerably perfrct ; exem• pifyiog, by her attitude, the parental 4 , passion Amply. in rlestli;" but the child has long rioce usgits4 noisy from her embrace. I inqui.er! her moil trairitherr mortified to find that it has sot been preretord. sut I WAS chiefly affected by the relics of two rpersnno. of whom the world has unfortunately • hoard too meteh—the ill-fated brothers, Joh., and 'Henry Sheures. I had been told that they were kfre, and the torment the light of the toper fell Ammo the spot they occupy, I quickly recognised • by one or two circumstances that forcibly re called the close of thcir career: the headless trunks. frost the remains of the coarse, unadorned, penal shells. to which it seemed necessary to public jus tice that they should be consigned. Henry's head was lying by his brother's side; John'. had oot been completely detached by the blow of the exe cotioner: one of the ligaments of the neck still connects it with the body. I knew nothing, of these victims of ill-limed enthusiasm, except from histo rical report; but the companion of my visit to these grave had been their contemporary and friend, sod he paid their memories the tribute of some Leers; which. even at this distance of time. it would not be prudent to shed in • less privileged place. He lingered long beside them, and seemed to find it sad gratification in raiding several par. voila.* connected with their fates. Many of the ecerdotes that he mentioned have been already published. Two or three that interested me. I had net heard before. "It was not to be expected," he said, " that such a man as John Shearer could have escaped the destiny that betel him. His doom was fixed several years before his death. His passion for freedom. as he understood it. was incu rable; for it was consecrated by its association with soother passim,. to which every thing seemed justi fiable. You have heard of the once celebrated Mademoiselle Therousue. John Sheyre6 was in Palle et the commeocement of the Revolution, and was introduced to her. She was an extraordioary creature; wild, imperious. and isotonic in her pat mitre paroxysm.; but, iu her netural intervals, • laimurtiful and is.ctilating woman. He became deeply enamoured or her. and nut the less so for the pellucid enthaelasai that would have levelled another. I tease beard that he assisted in the um- form of the national gourd at the storming of the Beattie, and that he encountered the p.rtl as • mewls of recommending himself to the ohjrct of his admiration. She returned that sentiment, but As would not listen to lei suit. When he tendered • proposal of marriage, she produced • pitta I, and tbre•tened to.lay bitn'tiesd if he renewed the sub ject. This I had from himself. But her rigour sot ►=tiugutsh his passion. He returned to Ireland full of her image, mud, I suspect, nut with ' east a hope that the success of the fatal enterprise to which he embarked might procure him, at a lata►e day, e. more fstProtrable hearing ; but of this nod all his other boors. you see (pointing to his ►emain+F, the lamentable issue."

Tlw brat proem he met was Henry Shears, pallid, treswolme, and almost gasp ing for breath. He ask►d what hart haopetted ; Sheares, with looks and tones imprirting extraor dinary lierturbation, implored him, if he valued his life. to turn back. II WAD with some difficulty that the inter►ogato► conk) oht4ito so intelligible •ecount of the cause and extent of the dancer. As won as he had a►certained the fact, lie fixed hi. eye on Sit , and said. ' Mr. Sh , I know more of some matters than yon may he aware of; take a friend's advice, and has , . no snore to do with politics; you have not nerves. Sir, for the business you have engaged in.' Bat the infatuation of the times, and the influence of his brother's character and example prevailed. When the catastrophe eitrue,John Sheares felt, when tow late, that he should have offered the same advice. This reflection imbittered his last moments. It elm called forth some generous traits that deserve to be remembered. His appeal to the court in behalf of his brother, as given in the report of the trial, is • model of natural pathos; but I know of nothing more pathetic in conduct than a previous scene, which Curran once described to tue as he had witnessed it. When Curran visited them in prison to receive instructions fur their de feece, John Sheares rushed forward, and embracing his knees, implored him to intercede for Henry; for himself, he offered to plead guilty; to die at an hour's notice; to reveal all that he knew. with the exception of names; to do any thing that might be fairly required of him, provided the Government would consent to spare his brother." The preserving power of the vaults of St. Mi. clisn's was long ascribed by popular superstition to the peculiar holine►s of the ground, but modern philosophy has unwrought the miracle, by explain. tog. on chemical principles, the cause of the phe nomenon: " Water is • sore dr toyer of your whore s• 11 dead body." The walls and soil of these vaults ' abound with carbouate of lime and argillaceous earth ; a compound that absorb, the moieure which is necessary to the potrefactive process. In all weathers the place is perfectly flee from damp. The consequence is, that animal matter exposed to ouch an atmosphere, though tt undergoes important chemical changes, and stem ceases to be strictly flesh, yet retains, for a length of time. its external propoitioos. I had occasion to observe a circum stance that proves the uncommon dryness of the air. Ooe of the recesses, which is lessened up. is the burial-place of a [wide family. Ott looking through the grating of the door, we 1111 M two or three coronets glittering from the remote extremity of the cell, as brightly us if they hid been polished up the day before. The anemias,' assured us that it was more than a year since airy one had entered the place. He inserted a taper wirten the grating to give us a fuller view, when his statement war corroborated by the appearauce of ail ample canopy of er.bweb.'extending from wall to wall of this chamber of death. and which it insist have coat the artificers many a weary dry and night to weave. A curtain of the same sepulchral gauze overhung the spot where the Shearesea rest. I had seen the catacombs of Paris, but I was more interested, and made to feel more for others and myself, in the vaults of S.. Michan's. lii the eatacombs the eye or the heart fiirds nnthing indi vidual to rest upon ; your sympathy is dispersed over myriads of anonymous skull, sod thigh-bones, and these fantastically arranged into melodramatic combinations, as if the Graces have ■ny business under gronnd; and after death has picked us to the bone, our skeletons must be broken up and shuffled into attitudes conforming to the immutable prin ciples of Parisian taste. I could never heave a sigh while promenading between those neatly trimmed hedge-rows of human bones; I thought, of and pitied the workmen more than the materials. But at St. Michan's I felt that I was really in • sepul chre. and surrounded by the dead. The very ab sence of neatness in their distribution, and of re spectful observance towards them, was • source of instructive rrflexion, by forewarning me of my ces sation of personal importance when I shall cease to breathe. Every kick the sexton gave • chance skull or two that stopped the way, had its moral : it was as good as the festive usage in old Egypt, of handing round an image of death from guest to guest, to the words of— " Drink sod be merry, for such you shall Dr." In the absence of such a custom now, I know of nothing more calculated to bring down the pride of any one that piques himself too much upon his flesh and blood, thou an occasional conversation in a church-yard with • sexton or gravedigger, on the subject of their trade. It is very well es lung as a man has a certain allowance of mind and must-Its at his disposal, and can strut, and talk. and look big. and hum fragments of bravuras, sod he seen n o w and then in a tandem, and resort to the other me thods of comrnandiug wine deference to his l' rsonal identity; but when once this important personage becomes motioultes. cold, and tongue-tied. and. unable to remonstrate, is seised by the undertaker. and, as the Irish phrase is, •' is put to bed with e shovel," farewell human respect !—" out of sight, out of miud :" Ws epitaph, if he list !eft sleets to buy one, may, for a while, keep up • little bustle about his name, but a short dialogue with • sexton of afiertime►, over the scattered fragments of his ex setence, will afford a pretty accurate measure of the degree of real imignificauce into which he has sub sided. This is munifyitig; but it is among the sources of our highest interests. Certainly, it is ouly natural that we should look to some future compensation fur our minds, in return for the many insults their old companions are sure to sutra when they ere out by to protect them: it were au ititoltr i able prospect otherwise.

EXPEDITION TO YHE ROCKY MOUNTAINS. • Extracts from ohs Rietery of the Expedition Cola Pitte tormlo to the Rocky Meantime, is the year 1819, under the eioinetand of Major Leat. [From the National Gazelle.) On the 14th Octobe►, four hundred Omawhew ',idioms assembled at Camp Missouri. Major Oloalion addressed them i au appropriate speech, stating the reasons for their being celled to council, upon which Ongpasiotege, the Big filk, arose, and after shaking by hand each of the whites present, placed hie rnhe of otter skins and his mockasons under the fret of the agent, whom he addressed to the following effect, as his language was interpreted by Mr. Dougherty : "He had beard that his father wished to see , him, and he hail wished to see and hear the words of his father, ever since he I chant he was aseesdiag the river. He was informed last fall of his being at the river Platte, and, as Ise could not thew go to see hies. he had sow clime to visit him; sad here am 1, my father. All these yams preigle you see 'mood you here are yours; altbough they are poor and trilling, yet they are children. I have always loved the whites siuee I first , remember to have seen them, and this affection increases with my age. All my esti.. love the white*, and always have loved them. Assesaget all the gond things of this world, I place the whites first. But it appears that there are maay notions that live nearer to you than 1 , that do sot love you, though you have done more for them than you have dose for me. When they meet with you, they flatter you, is order to get preemie from yes, notwithstanding which, they would not hesitate to kill some of your people on their way home. Scone of them shake bands with you in a friendly manner, whilst their hands are yet stained with your blood; and if you examine your own hands, my father, 1 think you would hod some of it adhering to them yet. For my part, my father, 1 am proud to boast, that any bands are deem. Never has oat of my nation Waisted Ms hands with the blood of a white loss. I do not uodersiaod, my father, your merle of 'resting those well who treat you ill. It is true, I know that you have more sense than what I have, but I cornett woderstand it. I have heard that the Parruees have been to use you, a nation that has killed rob. bed, and insulted your people. I was also informed that you feasted them, and at their departure put weapons in their hands. 1 should not be surprised to hear that those very weapons were stained with white man's blood, trefoil, they reached the Pawnee village. This is what I carroot uuderetsed. This circumstance led me to believe, that if you treated those that have injured you so well, you surely would treat your poor children the Onairwhaws, who have sever dose harm to your people, with much kindness also. But I am afraid the transaction will have a bad effect cm my young mew. When they beard of Americas troops aft-end ing this river they retried and respected them. But I am fearful that this transaction will throw them of their guard, make them lose their respect for you, and cause them to do sometbiug that they would sot otherwise have done, and thus create trouble and difference Selects us. You said, my father, that tho e troops do wet come to harm we. I c.a•ider them all my brothers sod friends. So far from 'kicking they come to Here me, I regard them as my shield, to gaud me against bad nations arrived me. You say that if ever there is a difference between us, that it will be our holt; but I hope not, my Giber. I nowt Air& that the °maw haws will off e asy indignity to your people, sow that they have sees all those troops, she. they have sot harmed individuals who have resided years in their village appro. tented, alibeugh we were then less ealighteiced than we now are. Some thatch, my father, that you have brought all these warriors here to take our land from us, but I do sot believe It. Fur although lam but a poor simple Indian, yet I know that this laud will Not suit your farmers; if I eves, thought your hearts bad enough to take the land, I would not fear it, sal know there is sot wood enough ea it for the use of the whiles. Too might settle along this river where timber is to belonad; hat we eels satrap get wood enough is our country to make our little fres. There is one dolor I fear, my father; my station is coming down here to bunt this sister, and If you seed out your soldiers to hunt also, they will drive off all the game, and our women and children will starve. We have lamed of the ascent of the troops up this river ever sines last fall; and we have been told by other Dittoes that If they chaste to meet with soy squaws unprotected they ravish them. But, my father, we shall Room know if this is true or sot, because, having but little to eat, our squaws will be obliged to go out Into the prairies to dig roots-1 shall trust tapas, and sot hesitate to let them go." He also observed that he could got see the necessity of statioring so sassy troops here, as they had so out to oppose; he thought it &Moak that they should go higher up the river, to chestier those refractory ludians who will not hetes to oar words. "There Is one thing, my father," be observed, "which I wish you to inform me of. We have heard of your tying op and whipping iedividush of several 'ratings as you ascended this river. What is the offnee which will subject us to this pouisliment 1 wish to know, that I may inform my people, that they may be on their guard." He then observed, that all his children were poor, and that they had come with the expectation of receiv ing something from their father. . _ This speech, contrary to the usual mode of Indian orator., was eommeoced in a low tone, the voice gradually rising as the speaker proceeded. until it attained its roll intonation. Several speakers subsequently went forward and delivered their sentiments, generally alluding to the circumstance of our treating those who injure us kindly, and negleciiug our friends. Ta-sone, the White Dote, spoke with the allusion, and added— M Look at sae, my father; look at my hands, examine me well; lam a wild man, burn in the prairie" And auhs.•- gnently—" I told you, my father, to look at me, that you might see if there is say of the blood of your people opus me. Some, whose hands have been stained with blood, . . . . socleavour tu wash it off, bat some of it will still remits." It is proper to mention, as explanatory of some of the allusions in the above speeches, that the Paw. 'tees, at the conclusion of their council, had been invited to dine at Camp Missouri, and that msay of their chiefs were there presented with sabres, as I before stated. It was to this circumstance that the •hove-mentioned apelike's had reference, as bein g inexplicable to them, as it seemed us if we wished to conciliste the good will of those evil doers through fear ; and }et they could hardly accuse us of fear, surrounded as we were by so formidable an array of troops.
