An Englishman who was present at Havre when
the Soi-disdnH heir of Louis XVI la nded Their. from
New ork, gave some particulars, from which it
appears that His Majesty sustained the dignity of
'I"narch very well during the passage. Having
some disagreement with the mate, "he threa,rned
to Imprison him, their arrival, and to have the
sailors made captains" This was in character:
ont he made premature disclosure of his DIau.-
"tavins unluckily gone into a coffee shop, and
called for two soils worth of brandy, he could no
longer withhold his intentions. The police were
informed of their new master, and being willing
10 exchange hun tor their old one, they pat his Ma
Jcsty INTO prison, where he is likely cinuiu With
out bail or mainprize."

The Mayors Court this forenoon passed SEN

and Aaron Adams, all blacks, for having in the
month vi Sept. last, with other cpourcd persons,
attempted to rescue from the ShetT's officers,
a black man, who had been re committed to pri.

Hiram smith and his wife Maria Smith were
each sentenced to 10 months nprisunment aud
each fined so with costs; Aaron Adams and
John Hyde were sentenced 60 , months impri
sonment, and each fined $50 and the costs o'
prosecution.
In publishing these sentences. we would re-
mark that the National lnteligcnccr is in error,
when 1T states that Fugitive slaves" have been
'toroiby rescued by free Negroes" in this city,
The facts are that an attempt to rescue was made
and successfully resisted
The above are ali the persons who have been
convicted, and the above are the pmishmcnts
awarded; punisllmenls which ii Is believed will
be found sufficient To deter any similar attcmpt
at rescue in this city, Dem. Press.

Changing of .Nrmes.-In the New York Lee
gislature bill was introduced changing the
name OF Harriet Jane Perkins to Harriet Jane
Winter, and concluded with resolution that
from and after the passing of tho act the said
Harriet Jane Perkins should take the name OF
Harriet Jane Winter, and no othcr.n The New
York American informs us that
"Mr. Hayden, of Oswego, who by the bye
bears strong resemblance in person and in his
mode of speaking to our junior senator in Con
gress, moved to strike out the words land no
other" on the ground that should the lady hap
pen hereafter to be married, the affirmative and
Peremptory terms of the statute might place her
and her husband relatively in rather awkward
predicanent. The motion prevailed; but the
Speaker suggested another di(culty-that if she
should happen to marry man by the name of
Wmter, her condition would not be relieved bv
the bill. Mr.. GoOdell, the ex-speal1er, remark
ed that such was the usual phraseology in like
cases, whereupon Mr.. Crolius no further press
Ell hIs suggestion. The bill passed as amended.
ana poor Miss Harriet was left to an intcr:nin-
able endurance of all the rigours of Winter.~

But memory marks it well.

And earth must be my bed.

And though thy sun in youth has set.

to lift any letter from the post office, unless it be

afford to pay postage upon every complaint which
may arise through the failure of the mails. We are
particular IN mailing the " GARLASD,' and if it fails
to reach its destination, the blame surely rests upon
others, and there can be justice in burdening US

THE POETS BRIDAL DAY SONG.
BY ALLAN CUNNINGHAM,

BY ALLAN CUNNINGHAM.
O my loves like the steadfast sun,
Or streams that deepen as they run;
Nor hoary hairs, nor forty years,
Nor moments between ghs and tears,-
Nor nights of thought, nor days of pain,
Nor dreams of glory dreamed in vain,-
Nor mrth, nor sweetest song which flows
TO sober joys and soften woes,
Can make my heart or fancy fee
One moment, my sweet wife, from thee
Fen while muse, see thee sit,
In maiden bloom and matron wit
Far, gentle as when first sued,
Ye seem, but of sedater mood,
Yet my heart leaps as fond for thee
Aswhen, beneath Arbigland tree,
We strayed and wooed and thought the moon
Set on the an hour too soon,
Or fingered mid the falling dew,
When looks were fond and words were few
Though see smiling at thy feet
Five sons and fair daughter sweet
And time and care and brth-tme woes
Have dImmed thine eyes, and touched thy rose,
To thee and thoughts of thee belong
All that charms me of tale or song;
When words come down like dews unsought
With CLEANS of deep enthusiast thought,
And Fancy in her heaven flies free
They come, my love, they come from thee.
o, when more thought we gave Of old
To silver than some give to gold;
Twas sweet to sit and ponder DER
What things should deck our humble bower
Twas sweet to pull, in hope, with thee.
The golden fruit from Fortunes tree
And sweeter still to choose and Irvine
A garland for these locks Of thine
A song-wreath which may grace my Jean,
While rivers flow and woods are green.
At times there come, as come they ought
Grave moments of sedater thought
When Fortune frowns, nor lends our night
One CLEAN of her nconstant light;
And hope that decks the PEASANTS bower,
Shines like the rainbow through the shower
o then see, while seated nigh,
4 mothers heart shine in thine eye;
And proud resolve and purpose meek,
Speak Of thee more than words can speak :;
! think the welded wife of mine
The best of all that's not divine
The ladies' garland. [volume] (Harpers-Ferry, Va. [W. Va.]) 1824-1828, 1825-02-26
SUBRIUS FLAVIUS.

The Roman tribune, Subrius FlaVlus,
being impeached for having conspired
against the life of the Emperor Nero, not
only owned the charge, but glored in it.
Upon the emperor's asking him what
provocation he had given him to plot his
death " Because | abhorred thee" said
Flavius, " though there was not in the
whole army one more Zealously attached
to thee than |, so long as thou didst one
rt affection; but began to hate thee
when thou becarnest the murderer of thy
mother, the murderer of thy brother and
wife, a charioteer, a comedian, an incen-
diary, and tyrant. Tacitus says, that
the whole conspiracy afforded nothing
which proved SO bitter and pungent to
Nero as this reproach. He ordered Fla
vius to be Immediately put to death,
which he suffered with amazing intrepi-
dity. When the executioner desired him
to stretch out his neck valiantly, he re-
piled, 81 wish thou mayest strike as va
liantly."
