This unfortunate youth was so affected with the loss of his liberty, and at being detained from home, and all that was dear to him, that, before his companions returned to school, he died broken-hearted. in memory of this melancholy incident, the Scholars of Winchester Sebool, or College, attended by the master, chaplains, organist, and choristers, have an annual procession, and walk three times round the pillar, or tree, to which their unhappy fellow-collegian was chained, chaunting, as they proceed. Latin verses, of which the above is a translation. The following verses, written by a Kentucky Poet, have ap peared in some of the American papers, and attributed to Miss Fanny Kemble, merely to gain notoriety for them : The following beautiful Stanzas, from the pen of Miss FRANci 9 ANN KEMELE, were communicated to the Editor of the United States Gazette : • When yon mournfully rivet your tear-laden eye, That hart seen the last sunset of dope pass away. On some bright orb, that seems through the still Sapphire sky, In beauty and splendor to roll on its way : Oh remember, this earth, if boheld from afar, Would seem wrapt in a halo as clear and as bright As the pure silver radiance enshrining yon star, Where your spirit is eagerly soaring to-night. AO at this very moment, perhaps, some poor heart, That is aching and breaking in that distant sphere, Gaies dolVn en this dark world, and longs to depart Fium its own dismal home, to a brighter one here. e3''ARIETs. Every body recollects "the Massacre of Peterloo," in the year 1819, which gave to Henry Hunt, Esq. his day of noto riety. A reference to by gone events is always a curious, amusing, and instructive lesson. We delight in reproducing the opinions on passing events of those who are gifted with sufficient common sense (a commodity that John Bull perio dically discards as sheer folly) to keep aloof from the follies of the day. In September, 1819, Madame Piozzi, in one of her letters, dated London, says:-- " I thought London was to have run mad last week; but the fever of reform is not yet hot enough. You will see that the great men who think they are making Hunt and Co. their tools to pull down one set of ministers, and put up another set which they , can command, will themselves at length be used as tools by the multitude, who are honest in the avowal of their mean ing, however absurd. They mean, like the wise men of Go them, to pull the pins out of London-bridge, and oil theM. And I remember wondering, when a baby, why that was thought so very foolish a project; for I doubted not but they wanted sotnething, as we say, to be done to them! Indeed a later adventure showed me how cautiously a work of reforma tion must be conducted : an old wall we wished to repair, down in Denbighshire, was all overgrown with ivy: 'Cut it away,' said we. 'But,' replied an experienced workman, it has grasped the stones it loosened at the beginning; and if We Init it away, the whole will drop to pieces: the ivy now helps to support itself.' So I recollected the more serious allegory of the corn and tares, and let the business rest."—.Picazianci.

THE MERRY MAIDENS AND THEIR PIPERS.—In the parish of Rivkin, in Cornwall, is a small circle of nineteen upright stones,. called The Merry Maidens, from the received tradition, that nineteen unmarried young women were transformed into these. figures, for dancing and singing on a Sunday. The stones are about four fe e t in height, and five feet from each other; 'Mid. at a little distance from them are two taller stone;, called the Pipers, as being supposed to represent the musicians who played to the tunes to which the Merry Maidens danced.— Orchestra Anecdotes. THE CLASSICAL TOWN DRUMMER OF DUNDEE.—This worthy personage paid the debt . of nature a short time ago, and his library has been brought over to Edinburgh for sale. We have Seen a catalogue of his books, which would do honour to a bib lioinaniac of the second or third magnitude.. There are up whids of—What do you think ?-1500 volumes, and these are not made up of Tom Thumbs, Blue Beards, or Little Glnss Slippers; but of the most classical, scientific, and valuable tomes in the living and dead languages. There are a greet number in Latin, and. not a few in Hebrew, Greek, Arabic, Syriac, Bt-e. NOr were,these books selected for show alone ) as many ire; for Daniel APCormiek was a man of much reading, and an excellent linguist withal, as the following anecdote will attest:—A vacancy having occurred in the Greek professorship of St. Andrew's, a candidate applied to the Provost of Diindee, soliciting his interest at the forthcoming election. The Pro vost, honest man, told the applicant be was unfit to judge of his qualifications, not being much skilled in the 'Greek language, but that he would 'Cause the town drumther to examine him, and if found qualified, he should then have the Provost's support. A messenger was accordingly despatched for Daniel, who cate chised the candidate in presence of the Magistrate ) and found his knowledge of Greek such, that he pronounced him incina petent to teach the Hellenic language and letters! Daniel, like most learned, men, was a pluralist, for besides his principal office of town &rummer, he was alie town crier, which situation he frequently Miide a safety-valve to his superabundant hunlour and wit, to the - great aniuseruent of the aizens. the local prints have not made us, sufficiently acquainted with thi s iii rular man's history, to kßow , how a scholar of his status held so oW - a place in the kale °t i ckle honours.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDAh TUE LONDON' PRESS. (FROM THE MORNING HERALD.) We have occasionally called the attention of the public to the oppressive and unconstitutional system of arrest and imprisonment for debt. We say unconstitutional, because the present system o 1 arrest and imprisonment is of corn paritively recent origin. By the common law, in order to recover a debt, (no matter the amount,) a summons was first taken out, and if the ;defendant could not be served, or, if served, did not appear, a writ of Capias is sued, by which the sheriffcould take the defendant where ever he might find him ; butthis caption was cured by en tering an appearance, and was only in the nature of a contempt of court. No doubt this system gave rise to much vexation ; in consequence of which, in 1725, the common law was abandoned, and an act (12th Geo. 1., c. 29), commonly called Lord Beauchamp's Act, was passed " to prevent trivolous and vexatious arrests," by which no one could be arrested for any sum under £lO, or with out making an affidavit of such debt. This act, which was only temporary, was made perpetual by the 21st Geo. 11., cap. 3. In the year 1811 (51st George 111., cap. 124) the sum was raised to £l5, with the exception of bills of exchange; and in the year 1827 (7th and Bth Geo. IV., cap. 71) the sum was increased to £2O, without any ex ception whatever; and thus stands the law at present. It was said by Mr. Bearcroft, one of the ablest lawyers of the day, that he scarcely knew an instance where the sta tute law had been called in to aid supposed evils in the common law, but the remedy was generally worse than the disease—many persons may think Lord Beauchamp's act gives proof of this assertion ; but the situation of the unfortunate debtor has been rendered much more griev ous by recent enactments. The Currency, or Peel's Bill, undoubtedly reduced the means of all debtors having any effects whatever to dis charge their obligations, while the amount of the obliga tion itself continued the same. But the legislature, -in stead of viewing the matter in this light, have, since the alterationin the currency, actually increased the severity of the statute law as regards the relative situation..of debtor and creditor. Many an unfortunate debtor, at a great sacrifice and risk, has been induced to appear to process and go to trial, in the hope that, during the vacation, and before execution could issue, he might be enabled, by his own exertions, through the medium of friends, or some other clinging anticipation, to satisfy the demands of his credi tor. This resource is now cut off, for, by the act (1 'Will. IV., c. 7,) the judge is enabled, immediately after ver dict, to certify his opinion, so that a writ of immediate execution may issue ; and by a subsequent statute (2 Will. IV., c. 39) proceedings go on at all times, whether in term or vacation, except between the 12th of August and the 24th of October ; so that the unfortunate debtor has now no resting-•place. All hope of resources is destroyed, for time, which was the essence of that hope, is now ut terly denied him. It. is the boast of Englishmen that our laws and insti tutions are founded upon the principles of freedom and equality; but we cannot help thinking it would puzzle some of these persons, after perambulating our extensive prisons, to prove the truth of their assertions. We have been for some time. of opinion that it was impossible, in the present depressed state of the country, that the cruel ty, oppression, and injustice of these laws could be suffered to continue in their present state. It has, therefore, af forded us great satisfaction to find that a notice was given on Friday last, by the Solicitor-General, of his intention, the first open day after the Easter holy clays, to introduce a bill " touching the imprisonment for debt, and the law of debtor and creditor." This proposition, having the aid and support of the 'Government, founded also in jus tice and humanity, must be acceptable to the people, and is a measure that will tend greatly to raise the reformed Parliament in public estimation. establishment. The Belgian question was to be settled -the Protocol-grinding is still hard at work. • Poland— noble, glorious, magnificent, &c. &c. &c.—Poland was to be freed from the gripe of the Emperor of Russia—it is firmer in his clutch than ever. We may thank the inter minable Irish question that the Bank and India Company have not been attacked. Nothing will be more perni cious to all interests concerned, than the accomplishment of Whig promises in either of these cases. But still, the promises were made to the gaping, wide-mouthed, wad dling frog, whose croakings had carried Reform—and there has not been a single step towards fulfilling them. To be sure, we are to have a shower of blessings when the Budget comes.—We shall see. And is Althorp the man to bring in the Budget ? We doubt it. We confess that we scarcely believe in his illness—it must have come on in a great hurry—for there he was, as stout and chuckle-headed on Wednesday morning, in the early part of the business; and the sick ness seized him, and Poulett Thomson too, just in time to save them from giving a vote on the factory system. We are, therefore, strongly of opinion, that the illness is political, and intended as a pretext for giving up office. We are quite certain he would have done so long ago, if they could have found anybody to fill his place—but where is the man ? Look through all the Whig ranks, and he is not to be found. Heavens! what a satire on any party, that it does not contain in it a successor to Althorp ! It is true, nevertheless; and what is more, if the man were found, is his return to Parliament sure ? Not the least. The practice has always been that one Under- Secretary of State for the Colonies should be in the House—there was Howick, our friend Twiss, &c. &c.— but the case is altered now. There is not a constituency in England which a ministerial man could now face with any probability of success—and accordingly M. Lefebvre —(who the duce is he ? A great arithmetician, we un derstand, like Michael Cassio ; but where was he picked up ? What has he done ? Who knows anything about him ?)—and accordingly, we say, M. Lefebvre does not aspire to parliamentary honours. We hope that they will push Ellice out of Coventry—and if he does not get in for that place, where else can he get in ? "Itis a remarkable fact," said the Times, a few days ago, " that all the elections since the reform bill have been against the ministeral candidates ;" but it is not more remarkable than true. The fact is, that the country is sick of the grasping, quacking, jobbing, griping set, and go they must. Having once gone, the old Whigs, as a body, will never return; there may be modification, and dovetail ings, but the Brookes's gang will never again enter office en masse. (FROM THE JOHN BULL.) In these days of retrenchment and reform, the slightest indication of ministerial attention to the wants and wishes of the people ought to be regarded with admiration, and received with gratitude—we are to-day enabled to record three instances of carefulness and economy, which will no doubt elicit the applause and command the approbation of all our readers. , The first is this :—Upon the anniversary of the acces sion of our KINGS, it has been, from time immemorial, customary, at Pendennis Castle in Cornwall, to fire a Royal salute ; it so happened, on the 26th of June, last year, that the government of the Castle, owing to the death of Mr. FENWICE, was vacant, and the senior officer in rank was a veteran artilleryman of the name of Ru . s- SELL—this old soldier had been for many yea rs on duty at Pendennis, and conceiving it to be his duty to do as ever had been done before, he fired the customary salute in honour of the birth-day of his SOVEREIGN. When he made his report to the Ordnance Office in London of what he had done, he received a reprimand for his conduct, and notice, that unless the amount of expense incurred for the salute (31..85.) was paid to Mr. GREEN SLADE, the store-keeper At Falmouth, he would forthwith be dismissed. Remonstrance was vain ; and although the poor old man had the advantage of being both Rus sELL—which he is by name—and GREY—which he is by nature—it availed him nothing, and the three pounds eight shillings were paid. This circumstance, besides marking the rigid care of our Government in taking care of the pence, has also the merit of punishing a loyal sol dier for doing what he thought his duty, and for exhibit ing his loyalty and respect for his SOVEREIGN. The second instance, which, as faras loyalty and respect to the SOVEREIGN are concerned, is rather more particular (because an omission was ordered), occurred on the same day at Plymouth, where, although a salute was fired from the battery, the customary feu de joie of the troops was dispensed with, as a matter of economy. • The third instance which we shall cite occurred also in the ordnance department at the same place. It ap pears that, upon a principle of carefulness, two cats have always been kept in the storehouses in he citadel, for the purpose of protecting His Majesty's stores from the depredations of rats and mice and such small deer. Cats —although they have nine lives, and, in garrisons, some times nine tails—cannot maintain their lives without eating, and—this is all serious and true, reader—the storekeeper has been in the habit of charging in his ac counts the sum of ninepence per week for cats'.meat— which, according to Cocker, amounts, when divided be tween the two watchful animals, to no more than one halfpenny per day each—will it be believed that when the storekeeper's estimates were this year returned to him, lie was informed that " the allowance for cats'-meat must be reduced to sixpence per week, every economy being requisite ;" and, accordingly, Tom and. Tabby of H. M. Royal Artillery at Plymouth, have been put upon the reduced allowance. It is, perhaps, natural that, under Lord Grey's government, when so many favours are heaped upon rats, that the cats should be thus abridged ; but it seems hard, that while thebipeds of Downing-street, are benefitting so materially by the acquirement of new lights, that the quadrupeds at Plymouth should be so rigidly curtailed of their old ones. For the veracity of these statements we are able to vouch, as will no doubt the storeiceepers at the places named ; and, above all, the ill-used bombardier at Pen dennis. EFFECTS OF KISSING A YOUNG LADY.—Our legislature have had quite an animated debate upon the legal consequences of a married man kissing an unmarried lady. As the same question appears to have engaged a co-ordinate branch of our govern ment—the Supreme judicial tribunal of OhiO—and as there are a great many married men and ' unmarr i e d women w i t hi n th e. limits of this State, we deem it advisable to notice this ease with some particularity, especially, as it must be borne in mind that ignorantta legts neminem excusat. It appears that in 1822, Mr. Jeremiah Moore married Miss Polly Prough. In 1825 they began to grow tired of each other, and thetr chains gradu ally losing their silken lustre, he husband soon afterwards, very ungallantly, solicited the Supreme Court to grant him a divorce from his said wife Polly. 'prom the legislative debate, to which we are referring, we learn that the application was re fused on the following ground:—While the parties were living together in a state of amicable indifference, they attended a party in a neighbour's house, which had assembled to boil ap ple butter. In the course of the evening, •' Mr. Moore laid his sleeves around the shoulders of a young woman, while sit ting at the fire-side •in company with others, and, drawing her up in his arms, gore her a kiss." This fact being made known to the Supreme Court, they refused to loosen Mr. Moore's ma trimonial chains. From this it is to be inferred, that there is in Ohio neither statute n or common l aw au th o rising married men to kiss unmarried women. Mr. Moore not satisfied with the. Supreme Court, has made his appeal to the legislature, and at our last dates the question was pending before that body. :the speakers were discussing the ethics of kissing, and censur ing the Supreme Court for their decision. As the.matter is one of vast imp or t a n ce , an d as i t aff or d s a fi ne fi e ld f or ii ne speec h es, it is altogether uncertain when our august 'legislators will re turn to the body of their constituents.---Cincinnati Chrortiele. (FROM'THE AGE.) Parliament I—God bless it I—has taken holidays unto itself, and we are to be deprived of the pleasure of its agreeable company for another week. We must endea vour to live under the affliction. It has carried one measure in more than two months ; and that has been so completely mangled and bungled during its progress through the house, that its "Mother would not know its child." Nothing else whatever has it done, except prate, prate, prate—in which accomplishment, indeed, it surpassed any other assembly on record. We suppose it will just be as industrious when it comes back to us again. Croker, in a very clever and smart article in the Quar terly just published, has a sharp analysis of this Par liament.—The most common observation," says the Ex-Secretary, " that we hear in every society, and read in every journal, is, that the Reform Bill has disap pointed everybody. Yet we believe that the truth is, that the Reform Bill has disappointed nobody. Sure we are, it has not disappointed us. The new Parlia ment is composed, and is working, exactly as all the leaders of the conservative party—and as we, humble fol lowers in that honourable train, predicted; and the avowed partisans of the bill, who so loudly complain that they have been disappointed, make theolight mistake of - confounding their premises with their prognostics." He proceeds then to prove, that " the Whigs or Ministerial ists, with purblind selfishness, W believed that it would en able them to plunder the Tories of politica.' power, and to continue themselves in office for a session or two—and they have not been disappointed; the longer-sig-hted,Ra dicals saw that, by playing the temporary game of the Whigs, they were laying the foundations of their own not distant supremacy, and that the first step towards a-uorn plete dernocratical revolution was, to have a House of Commons whichshould bring its e lf i n t o contempt, and all old and constituted authorities into odium and peril—and have they been disappointed ?" We shall answer—they have not. The Whig House of Commons is the most thoroughly despised House that ever sat in St. Stephen's; and, to use the words of Sir John Cam Hobhouse, " it would-be felt as a sort of national triumph, if they were to be taken by the ears and thrown into the Thames." This was said when Sir John was a flaming patriot —an annual speaker against flogging—a deeply sympathizing sniveller over the me lancholy misfortunes of the harassed Hibernians, kept down by harsh laws, prohibiting murder and other fro lics of the same kind—An 'short, When Mr, Hobhouse had no idea that he was to scale the treasury bench, and pocket six or seven, thousand a year at the easy price of unsaying in office all he had ever said out of it. The Working cf this Reformed Parliament has shown to the people, that all the fine things that were promised them were merely thrown out in delusion. The distress of the country was forced —absolutely forced by Attwood, on the House, almost in the teeth of its forms—it was met by the previous question. The horrors of the fac tory system are not to be abated. No !—the Refortned Parliament has granted the mill-owners tithe to collect. evidence, by .a majority of one—that amoun ti ng , in f act , to throwi n g- L or d Ashley's Bill over the Session.
