SINGULAR TAsTE.-The Philade.phla
Forum states that an English gentleman Of
education, add, so far as We know, of ir-
reproachable character, left England some
eighteen months since. with the intention
OF spending some years in solitary cell
IN one OF our prisons. He applied at the
Eastern Penitentiary, but was denied ad
mission He insisted upon pIace in the
cells, and while he averred that he abhorr.
ed inc Iuea OF committing a crime, stated
that he would do so TO insure the accom-
pIlshment OF his wishes. He was, of course,
arrested upon his threat, and required by
the Mayor, to give bail. ln defaul, of bail
he was committed to the Moyamensing
prison. where he has remained thirteen
months. The prison doors are, and have
long been opened to him, bat he refuses 10
leave his cell; and as his daily labor sup
ports him. he is permitted 10 remain. He
IS IN the full possession of his faculties: is
cheerful, and performs all the labor of an
ordinary convict. But though engaged
len hours each day at the loom, he pursucs
his. mathematical and other studies with
great perseverance and energy. He con.
verses with great intelligence, and is obvi.
ously, from education and association. q
gentleman. This is a>singular instance
OF voluntary and self-nficted penance, il
such 1t be; and the satisfaction which il
seems to confer upon lis subject, prove:
that the discipline of tina, excellent ins,itu
lion is far from cruel.

The trials of MIR. O'Connell and others
have been concluded, and each OF the Ira
vcrsers has been found guilty, but the SEN
fences have been deferred until next term.
In the mean time Mr.. O'Connell has made
his way up to London and taken his place
in the House of Commons The state of
affairs in Ireland is somewhat changed
since the verdict was given. There is less
excitement, and apparently disposition
on the part Of the leading repea!ers 10
"sneak" out of the front ranks. The Re-
peal Association, however, continues 70
hold weekly meetings at the Cancellation
Hall. At the meeting on the 18th ul,imo,
Tom Steele in the chair, Mr.. w. S. O'Bri-
en-, NJ. P. proposed a petition to parliament
setting forth the facts connected with the
late state trials, for general adoption The
motion was carried unanimously, and il
was ordered that copies should be sent to
every parish in Ireland for signature.
Another measure adopted was the sever.
ence OF all connection between the Asso.
citation and the Arbitration Courts, and a
recommendation to settle among themselves
the disputes and differences by arbitrator,
TO be in each case chosen by the parties
themselves, without any reference whatso
ever 10 the Repeal Association.
AT the meeting on the Goth, the chain
was occupied by John O'Connell, Esq, NJ
P. He addressed the meeting at conside
rable length, expressing his gratitude te
the people of England for the deep feeling
of sympathy which they had manifested
towards the traversers. and the feeling o.
indignation which had been stirred up by
the unfair conduc: of government toward,
them. He referred to the reception of hi:
father at the Anti Corn-Law League meet
ing, which was the mos, enthusiastic hi
ever witnessed in his life He rapidly re
viewed the progress of the Irish debate, ant
concluded by observing, tha, as the Libe
raj members of the Imperial Parliamen
were powerIess to carry their good wishe
and intentions into effect, they must still
exert themselves to carry Repeal by eve
ry lawful means left them.
A letter wos read from Mr.. D. O'Connell
in which the same sentiments were express
ed, and concluded by stating. that as tn,
course of the debate showed that Irelan,
had nothing to hope but from the restora
ton OF her own Parliament, they shout
continue with renewed efforts TO carr,
peacefully their object. The meeting wa
also addressed by Smith OBJ rien and Tho

From the Christian Reflector.
THOMAS JEFFERSON on WAR

What might be done pih ,rhat rar costs,
-"Had the money which has been spen,
in the present war, (l795) been employed
in making roads, and constructing canals
of navigation and irrigation through the
country, not house in the Highlands oil
Scotland, or the mountains Of Auvergne,
would have been without boat at its door.
a rill of water III every field, and road
to its market town. Had the money we
have ourselves lost by the lawful depreda-
tons of all the belligerent powers been en-
p,oyed in the same way, what commun-
cations would have been opened of roads
and waters. Yet, were We to 60 10 war
for redress, we should only plunge deeper
into loss, and disable ourselves fer half a
century more, attaining the same end. A
war would cost US more than would cut
through the lsthmus Of Darien; and that of
Suez might have been opened with what
a single year has seen thrown ava, upon
the Rock Of Gibraltar. These truths are
palpable, and must, in the progress of time,
have their influence on the minds and con.
duct of nations"
These remarks, though tinctured some
what with Jefferson's well known skepti-
cism. are much clearer and stronger than
could have been expected from such a man;
and the following contrast, though not de-
signed by himself as such, between Napo-
leon ard William Peen, will furnish a still
more striking exhibition of his pacific
views and feelings.
Jefersoa's final estimate Of Penn and
Napoleon, Of the peace man and the rar-
rior.-Alluding to the commemoration OF
Penn's arrival in this country, he says: ~
learn with sincere pleasure, that day will
be set apart for rendering honors so justly
due 10 the greatest lawgver the world has
ever produced; the first in ancient or mo-
dern times, who has laid the foundation OF
government onthe pure and unadJlturated
principles OF Peace, of Reason, and Right:

In letter addressed to John Adam af-
ter the downfall of Napoleon, he exclains,

his inflated career! What sample of the |
