KISSING. week or two since we
mentioned the circumstance that Miss
Hays had been taken up in Philadelphia
for kissing a young man in the street.
This reminds the editor of the Boston
News Of a circumstance which occur
red IN that city in old Tea Party
times, Just before the breaking out of
the revolution. The captain of a shin
that traded between Boston and Liver
pool. arrived from the latter city on a
Sunday, having been six months from
home. When the ship was seen coming
up the harbor, the people focked to
Long Wharf, and among the rest the
captains wife to meet her husband, who
on meeting kissed her, for which the
selectmen had him publicly whipped.
The captain bore it with Christian for
ttude and resignation; and having got
ready TO depart again with his family
on board, he dropped down below the
castle where he came to an anchor. and
waited the arrival of the selectmen.
whom he had invited to take dinner with
him. They came and were sumptuous-
iy entertained until the evening was far
spent, when they took their leave of
the captains family and assembled 10 the
deck, where they were met by the boat
swain and all hands; the captain remark
ing that he could not think of final
parting until he had repaid them the
great obligations they had laid him I'M
der, for saluting his wife when he met
her on the wharf, after long absence.
They were each compelled to strip in
turn, be tied up, and take thirtv-nine
lashes, we'll laid on, with the cat. After
winch, they were put in the boat. and
politely wished pleasant trip TO Town.

Important from NTaxico.

BY the schooner Wafer Witch. which
sailed from Vera Cruz Oh the S.h inst
intelligence has been received o. an inn
port very disastrous to the cause OF
Federalism. Our only hope is that Il
may turn to be a false rumor. ON the
9th instant an express reached Vera
CRUZ from the interior bringing intor-
nation that a pitched battle had been
fought IN the neighborhoOd Of Pueb.a.
between the army of the Government
and the Fedlra.Ists. in which the latter
sustained a total defeat with immense
loss, followed BY the dispersion OF their
forces. Gen. MeXia. it ) said, was cap
turcd AMI afterward shot by order Of
Santa Anna. The two o-her leaders ln
the instruction, Generals Urea and
EscaIaCa effected their escape. The
government troops were under the com
mand Of General Valencia If the re-
port be true, the effect Of this victory
will be TO restore temporary quiet Ia
Mexico. After 50 signal a defeat. and
the loss OF their most efficient leader
the Federalists will not be able Ionrar
TO Pr0crastlnate the struggle. ProbabIv
the fugitive chieftains may seek safety
BY flight TO this country. But the i'm
preston is strong that Mexico cannot
long enjoy an exemption from civil war.
She carries within her own bosom the
elements Of discord, the working Of
which, like the throes of a volcano. are
sure to produce commissions. The truth
is, that there is a lamentabIe want 81
common honesty among the leading
men of Mexico. They are as unscrg-
pulous, Profligate, rapacious aud desri-I
tute Of moral principles as pirates
Their chief aim in getting into power
IS to enjoy The opportunity Of plliaging
the public treasury. Hence a constant
is going on between the rob
1ers that are in power and those who
are out.

naglne themselves so firmly seated in /

His eye, beaming with wrath, fell up
on the stranger who regarded his with
ering chances with the most provoking
indifFerence-and who paused not a mo-
ment in his recitatAn, but continued 10
repeat the maddening words, '.thirteen
yotesl thirteen votes! thirteen votes -
The indignant Martyr next caught a
sight of Mr.. Smiths .countenance, con-
vulsed with lmghter. "What is the
meaning Of this sir,n said ne in a voice
Of thunder. But the only reply he re-
ceived was from the mouth of the stran-
ger, who, with the most irritating peril
nacity. continued to bawl, even louder
than before, "thirteen votes! thirteen
votesi thirteen votesn'
Martyr then advanced towards the
stranger, his frame absolutely quivering
it'll rage. .Who are you, scoundrel, -
demanded be in the most imPerious man
ner, land how dare you insult me in
this way?'
The stranger thought the rage Of Mar
tyn was counterleited, and a ruse OF
Smiths to win the wager; and the an
swer to his question, shouted out 10 a still
louder voice than before, was thirteen
votes. thirteen votes, thirteen votes"
Il will not put up with this insult"
screamed Martyr. doubling up his fist
and putting himself in attitude.
Thirteen votes, thirteen votes. thir-
teen votes" vociferated the stranger at
the top Of his lungs.
"If you repeat those words again |
will knock YOU down, you rascal" said
the infatuated Martyr, with a howl Of
desperation.
The stranger felt somewhat indignant
at being addressed in this rude and IN
manner, bat was determin-
ed to win the wager, and raising his
voice, bawled with the lungs ofas'entor,
''thirteen votes, thirteen votes, thirteen
votes''
"Take that then for your insoIcnce,"
shrieked Martyr, suting the action to
the word, and giving the luckIess trav-
eller box on the ear, which LAID him
PROSTATE on the floor.
But as the stranger fell, his yell Of
surprise, anger and agony took the
sound of thirteen votes, thirteen votes,
thirteen votesw
Highly exasperated at what he con-
ceived to be a base and unfair contri-
vance to cheat him out Of his wager,
he stranger rose in great dudgeon, still
,xcIaiming in voice which a boatswain
n a hurricane might have envied, ''thir-
cen votes, thirteen votes, thirteen votes"
md fell peIl nell upon poor Martyr, !
pounding him without mercy, and bel !
owing out between every blow, 'thir-
cen votes, thirteen votes, thirteen
otesr'
The traveller finally kicked Martyr
ut of the room, and as he closed the /
cor upon the unIucky illegal voter, he
boxed to his watch--saw that the ff-
zen minutes had already expired-gave
loud and exuIting shout of ''hirteen
0tes, thirteen UoteS, thirteen roteS!!"
'hch made the welkin ring again
INK exhausted in a chair, and claimed

THE subscriber would take this opportu-
u nifty to inform his friends, and the com
munty in general. that he is now two hun
dred and four years old, and now keeps the
above named establishment, which is bean
tlfuly situated on Wolcott street, opposite
the upper steamboat landing. being the
most convenient place for travellers to call
at, going to any part of the United States
or Europe, by land or water, this side of
the Rocky Mountains, he fatters himself,
that having one hundred and seven years
experience in tavern keeping, and this es-
tablishment without rent, also, his supplies
on credit, he can afford his bills cheaper
than any other man Of his age. His liquors
will be of the lalest and most approved pat
terms, such as Arthur Tappan's percussion
wine, old Monongahely, &c., and small
quantity of the surplus liquors from old
Capt. Noah's ship Ark, the flavor of which
Is very fine, in consequence of its great age.
And further, he would return his most sin
cere thanks, to all those who have seen fit
to favor him with call, and even to those
that have gone by.
