husband, bu, she positively refused it; at last,
finding that he could not prevail on her to touch
the Cruel. he was Obliged to tell her that her

of them on board, but Being little suspi-

them from his vessel and escaped the danger

The following is the introductory chapter,
or preamble, to the "System of Penal Law, pre-
pared for the State Of Louisiana" under its au-
thority, by Edward Livingston, l.. =. D. 1t
contains the genuine principles upon which
penal laws should be founded; and the whole
system is a noble effort Of genius and humanity
equally honorable to the individual and the
State. Louisiana, both in her civil and penal
codes, has set bright example for the imita-
ton of the other States.
No act OF legislation can be, or ought to be,
immutable. Changes are required by the alte-
ration OF circumstances; amendments, by the
imperfection Of all human institutions; bu I, laws
ought never to be changed without great DELHI
Grafton, and due consideration, as well of the
reasons on which they were founded, as of the
circumstances under which they were enacted.
tits therefore proper, in the formation Of new
laws, TO state clearly the motives for making
them, and the principles BY which the trainers
were governed in their enactment. Without
knowledge of these, future legislatures cannot
perform the task of amendment, and there can
be neither consistency in legislation, ner uni
formity in the Interpretation Of laws.
For these reasons, the general assembly OF
the state OF Louisiana declare, that their objects
in establishing the following code, are
To remove doubts relative to the authority
of any parts Of the penal law Of the different ma
tions by which this state, before Its indepen-
dence, was governed
To embody into one law and to arrange into

From Belps London Weekly Messsngsro of the 1M May.
MISERABLE CASE OF A WEAVER.
Related by Mr.. Hunter, in the Court of Common Coun
Gil.
Mr.. Hunter, in enforcing the object of the
meeting (the relief OF the distressed weavers)
related the following case of poor weaver in
Manch, ster, for the truth Of which he could
vouch, as the statement came from respecta-
BILE manufacturer Of that town:
GA very worthy poor weaver applied to his
master about three weeks since, begging ear
nestly 70: work, stating that he was IN great
want, and would thankfully do any thing for
the means of supporting his existence. His
master assured him he did not want any more
goods, his stock being very heavy, without "a
ny sale, and that he could not give out more
work to any one The man pressed very much,
and at length his master said, "Wel, Jonathan,
if it is absolutely necessary for you to weave
piece to prevent you from starving, will let
you have it; but cannot give you more than Is.
for il IS. is the regular price, for really do
not want any more goods made up for long
time to come "Let me have it, master, beg,
(said the poor MANY whatever you pay me for
il, pray lei me have it, The piece was given
TO him to weave, and at the end of two days he
broughtit home, and on carrying it TO his mas
ter begged him to give him Is. cd. for it, say
ing how much he was distressed for money
His master paid him the Is cd. and the man
went away. The master feeling very uncom-
Portable about the poor man, thinking that the
earnestness of his manner must arise from ex-
cessive want, determined following him
home. He went to the cottage of the weaver,
and found the wife alone in the lower room,
making little cruel over poor fire "Well,
Mary" said the master, where is your hus-
band?" ooh, sir, he is just come in from your
house, and being very faint and weary, he is
just gone to lie down in his bed" 81 will 90
up and see him, Nary" and Immediately he
went to the upper room, where he saw the poor
man lying on his bed, just in the agonies of
death, with his mouth open, and his hands
clasped; and after a short CONFUSION ne expir-
ed The master was very much distressed, and
came down stairs, hoping to be able to save the
wife, who was in very emaciated condition;
she had jus. poured the cruel into basin, in
tending TO carry it up to her husband. The
MISTER said, come, Mary, take little yourself

GREECE.

I'd In that city:
GREECE.
Hailho,y cline. where Science rear'd her throne
And kindred arts like consultations shone;
Ere from the fostering VOLTS earesses dread'
Rome, savage infant, rear'd her rival head
Nurse of the bard, the hero and the sage,
Though long the victim of 0ppression's rage,
Enslav't and fetter'd by the Paynim tlrong.
Sworn foes to science and unknown to song,
Inmockery crown'd with prosecutions thorn,
And crush'd till courage from despair was born,
We see thee bursting from thy lingering trance,
Snatch the dark helm and pose the quivering lance,
From gather'd rust thine ancient armour clear,
And with thy clarion wake the warriors ear.
Rear as at salamis thy lofty crest
Pluck the red garland from Platea's breast!
Still Marathon that victor shout retains
Whose earthquake echo shook thousand plains.
Still for thy temples Leuctra's laurel blooms,
And buried heroes rend their vaulted tombs,-
With lightning glance the fields of blood explore,
And stalk impervous where the life tides pour.
With awful smile the impetuous souls survey,
With airy shield protect their dauntless way
Their whispered voice unearthly rage inspires,
And bids the sons be worthy of their sires
Lo! peaceful shades from blest Elysium throng,
In spectral ranks to guard the land ofsong,
Predict with with ring curse the foemen's doom,
And blend The crescent with the Persian plume.
Dark frown the Stagyrite, with brow of thought
Glitles the meek martyr from his hemlock drought,
The vine-clad Team rears his sparkling bowl,
And quaffs deep vengeance on the Moslem soul;
Indignant Pericles with naughty pain
Marks the. usurpang mosque, and turban'd train,
Fast by the Parthenon sad Phdias signs,
And scornfu Homer rolls his sghtess eyes,
Hurls tunefu curses ON the insulting foe,
And bids anew the flames of Illon glow
Hail land sublimei-array'd in classic robe,
Mankind thy pupil, and thy school the globe
Thronss taught by thee, with filal ardor wait
Thy doubtful struggle with disastrous fate.
Yet one there was, who not with passire song
Beheid thy conflict or bemoan'd thy wrong
Bold to thine aid, the Tyre and sword he brought,
And doubly srm'd, thy front of danger sought,
Rear'd thy red banner DER the Egean wave,
Unseard his Golfers, and his spirit gave
Cold rests his heart within thy hallow'd bowers,
And Hslle's maidens wreath its urn with flowers.
Genius Of Greece who drank his latest sigh,
Raise towards the Queen of Isles thy mournfu eye,
She marks the sons who near her sceptre crowd,
Stern to their sins, but of their talents proud
Say '.tor my sake thy Maynard bard forgive,
Since bound with mine his deafness name shall live
Breathe DER his sacred tomb one sorrowing sigh,
And in his glory let his frailties die" H.

THE RUSSIAN SENATE.

The following description OF the constitution
and powers of this body, is from private let
ter in the Frankfort Journal Of the Sd May
"Having been settled in Russia for quarter
OF century, and having returned only lew
weeks ago 10 my native place, on family busi.
ness, find il difficult to conceive, when l read
the newspapers, how the much enlightened
countries Of Europe can have remained so lg-
norant as they are, Of the most simple and no.
,orious facts relative to the institutions oil my
adopted country Recoectng the memorable
events which principally under the late reign,
have drawn Russia and the other States OF the
Continent nearer together, might be allowed
to believe, that knowledge Of the Russian ma
ton and government, formerly confined :oa few
travellers, was now generally diffused among
we'll informed persons. But now see, more
than ever, that there are impressions which
most men do not easily renounce, viz. those
which leave on their minds, ideas attached to
certain denominations Thus, for instance, the
English papers, and after them the French,
which translate them, continually describe the
Senate Of ST Petersburgh as a representative
body. for no other reason certainly than that 1t
bears the name of Senate. They seem to be ig-
norant that the members Of that body, named
by the Sovereign, paid by him, and remoVeanie
at his pleasure, have, N their collective capaci
~, none OF the elements OF representative
body; and besides il is evident, that tribunal,
the business of which is 10 Judge in civil or
criminal affairs, to take cognisance OF, and to
publish the Ukases Of the Emperor, and 10 con-
troll in one Of its sections only by the accounts
and contracts of some Of the functionaries OF the
Government, has in its nature no concern with
the ordinary affairs of the internal administra-
ton, or with the alterations and improvements
Of which it may be susceptible. The first are
conhded TO Committee ofthe Ministers, which
sits at St. Petersburgh. AS for the plans re-
la,iye to the administration to measures to be
adopted on important occasions, the discussion
of them is reserved 10 the Council Of State, call
ed the Council of the Empire, when the Sover-
eien is pleased 10 ask the advice OF its mem
bers This Council is also Court Of Appeal,
to decide in the last instance, on causes already
brought. before the Senate, when the decision
has not had in its favour two-thirds OF the votes
or when the Emperor orders them to be recon-
sidcred Yet neither the Council OF the En-
pire, notwithstanding its high rank among the
Public Funo tlonaries, nor the Senate, have the
smallest share in the deliberations on matters
relating to foreign policy, which depend exclu-
sively on the will Of the Sovereign.
at is evident, therefore, that the pretended
counsels given by the Senators for the preser-
walton Of peace, with which the Public journals
have been filled, and their opinions respecting
the legitimacy Of the instruction OF the Greeks,
must appear quite absurd to all readers who
have some acquaintance with the Russian Gov
crnment."
