ed + Il capture OF an Amfrcln by a
Spanish vessel, aud the Spanish Judge
legaliziug the act. The Judicial utpg-
rity of Spanish Judge Is something
like thu bravery or Don uuxotc, as the
following fact, within our knowledge, will
atte-t An American WAS imprisoned nj
Madrid ON some trIlmg occasion and fell
low citizen Went unceremonlouslY To the
Juigr, aud Offered him bribe of Two oun-
ccs, &22) 10 release him. The Judge AcW
into trrrihlr ragr-ialkrd Of his honor
and dignity, ana finally threatened 10 com
nit the American with his companion, for
during 10 bride him. The American 4
hrmId, begged pardon most profoundly,
and apologlzcd, on the ground that he mis-
took ii for a custom, The Judge on the
explanation, pdrdoned him. The Broker,
ransactlng thc-busness of the American,
met him on the Pardo next day
How came YOU" SAID he, " TO We so in
discreet as TO attempt TO bride one of our
Judges He told me this morning of it,
aud laughed at YOU simplicity" Now"
said the broker, " | bride him daily, but it
won't answer for you TO make the expert
mcnt Give me the two ounces one | will
keep, the other viii give the jndge, and
you shall have an order for your friends

lions two cases of imprisonment for debt
ia that city, for which We fear parallels
could be found IN other cities. They are
as follow
"The first is Of 4 man, probably fifty
years of age whose residence is in the state
of New York, where he has family. On
casual visit TO Baltimore, hc WAS arrest
here for debt amounting TO Str doliars
and some cents; being unable 10 pay or
give security, he was committed 10 prison,
where he has already been confined nine-
ty-eight days his creditor has paid for his
support, in prison, upwards OF ttpetUe dol
lars.
The other case is Of sick Iemoie, Sc
renfeea yearS ofage, who has been confn-
ed for upwards Of two weeks past, for
utbl DtlNtFn alA 'ih seven ubliai&s Al
though IN i'll health, her accommodations
are similar to those Of the aged male debt
or. Food and fuel are carefully supplied
by the Sheriff, but clothing, bed, or even
a blanket are not allowed by law to the
unfortunate debtor"
REMARKS.
Do we live in Christian community,
where humanity and charity are the first
Of attributes Is there no person 10 the
good city of Baltimore, who will step for
ward and pay the above trinng sums, and
release the unfortunate prisoners The
names Of the creditors should be published,
in order that men 50 cruel and oppressive
should be stunned. MAJ. adp.

The Loieyer's patroR--Sant Eyona, a
lawyer of Britain, went TO Rome To entreat
the Pope to give the lawyers patron the
Pope replied, that he knew of 10 saint not
disposed Of to some other Profession
His holiness proposed, however 10 Saint
Esona that he should go round the church
Of San Giouauni d. Latoraao, blind
fold, and after saying a certain number
Of Ave Marias, the first saint he should lay
hold of should be his patron. This the
good old lawyer undertook, & at the end Of
his Ave Marias, stopped at the alter of ST.
Michael, where he laid hold, not of the
saint-but unfortunately Of the Deu1l, TN
