PLEASURE.

Pleasure is TO women what the sun is TO
the flower; ifmoderately enjoyed, it beau
tifes, it refreshens, and it improves; if i'm
moderately enjoyed. it withers, violates,
aud destroys. But the duties Of domestic
life, exercised as they must be in retire
ment, and calling forth all the sensibilities
of the female, are, perhaps, as necessary to
the full developing of her charms as the
shade and the shower ere to the rose, con-

which like ray of celestial fire, animate

of your estate, and was able to avoid sale for
about two years, within which time you were ex-
pected home; but as you CONTINUED still abroad,
and the proceeds of the farm being sufficient to
meet all the demands, and il being uncertain al
what time you might return, and some OF your Gre
di,ors being themselves pressed for money, /
thought il best to advertise some OF your property
Tor sale. accordingly advertised your large tract
OF land in Kentucky, and your land IN this county
that lay above Charlottesville. Not being able TO
Get a bid for the Kentucky land, was obliged 10
sell the tract of land above Charlottesville, which
contained, a. well as my memory serves me-, TO
something like nine hundred and fifty acres, on
which the University navy stands, and which
sold for five or SIX dollars the acre The amount
| am confident, did not exceed six dollars. AT
the timeI sold tina, land conceived it TO be worth
more, but being obliged TO have part in cash
for the payment OF one OF your debts, could at
that time do no better, and acting al the same
time agreeable to your instructions to make sa-
crhcs rather than let your creditors suffer. Had
you been able at that time 10 have advanced me
the sum of two thousand dollars, am confident
could have made the creditors easy, and not been
oblselto sell the land, and perhaps less sum than
tina, would have been Sufficient.
You also wished to know of me the difference
III the price of the land that sold, whereon the
University is now fxed-tha, is, the difference in
the present prices. Having rot been here for some
time, can oHiy state 'he present prices from IN

sold to Wm. q. Garner on the road near th,

ternoon, delivered into tina custody ofNCo. Harris,
Marshal of the district, and committed to jail for
examination. The prisoners were hand-cutfed,
and proceeded in one carriage, and the Witnesses
in another, both accompanied by the hlarsbal's
officers.
The examination Of these prisoners took place
yesterday, at IL o'clock, in the Court House, be-
fore the Hon. Judge Davis. After being freed
from their irons, the charge against them read
and on being asked what they had to say to it,
Marchant admitted, tina, he had killed the mate,
but did il in his defence; and Colson raade no
denial or avowsl TO the charge. The Court, as
we understood, did not think it necessary TO ex-
anime witness in the case; and on Marchanl's
expressing wish to hear what the witnesses had
TO say the subject the Judge remarked, that the
prisoners were not then on trial, but an examina-
ton to ascertain if they ought to be held TO take
their trial, Of which sufficient evidence appeared,
and that it proper, therefore that the evidence
should be first submitted to the Grand Jury. lie
then informed them, that the Circuit Court would
be adjourned to Tuesday next week, on which
day the Grand Jury would be summoned TO attend;
and should il prefer bills OF indictment against
them, they would have ,hr-. days to prepare for
trial; and further, if they unable to employ
counsel in their defesce, it would be competent
Tor the Court 10 assign them counsel, should they
request 1t. The prisoners were then remanded,
and beng again ironed, were conducted to prison,
| as were also the witnesses.
The prompt delivery of the above prisoners by
the British Government at the early request Of the
President of the United States, is strong evidence
OF the comfy existing between the two nations.
This Isl we believe, the first instance of the kind
which has occurred between the two counties

Britain, negotiated by Mr.. Jay, there pro-
vision for the mutual delivery of muIderers; bu
since the expiration OF that treaty no arrans
