cal Sketches Of American citizens who have become
llustrious in the service OF the country Every por

mad enduring monument 10 the great men OF he Re
public.
Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, collecting Portraits National Gal

work believed TO be superior TO any that have
been taken. In the Accomplishment. Of this grea,
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men Mr.. Brady's
reputation has been too long established TO need any

highest the works OF art, glowing with tie soul

The dra wings and engraving, Of D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans or taste TO be fully
equal and In some respects superior 10 those OF the
best artists OF London and Paris AID every i'm
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm

undertaking, that is publication may make in
he progress of American Art, and by grouping the
lustrious OF the Union together, consolidate il
still more firmly.
As no work of this kind has appeared in America.
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place 1t
beyond the reach Of most Of citizens, the publish
ers have resolved 10 merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,

A Singular Nuisance.

Among the law reports in our English
files, we notice one Of a case, on the Home
Circuit, of very singular and amusing char
acter.. The action was for nuisance, brought
by merchant, just retired from business,
against neighbor who caused number Of
scaffolds to be erected on his land, contigu-
Gus 10 the plaintiffs premises, from which
were suspended string Of ten kettles, tea
boards, watering pots, horse collars, horses
and bullocks' heads, and figure representing
Maria Manning, the murderess. This trump
cry was not only hideous 10 the sight, but its
clatter in the wind was SO unearthly that the
simple people of the country were afraid to
pass the spot in the night without the pro-
lection of policeman. To give the court
better idea Of the merits of the case, a
large box containing model of the nuisance,
was brought in, and the contents were no
sooner exhibited than the whole court was
convulsed with laughter. The venerable
Lord Chief Justice, joined in the chorus, and
observed that the model ought to 60 to the ex-
hibition. The counsellor thedefendant 'caved
in at once, and only pleaded for little mer-
cy, If in such case any mercy were possible.
The jury, after deliberating about half an
hour, gave f500 damages to the plaintiff.

The New Constitution.

By this time our readers have thoroughly
studied the new Constitution, upon The adoption
or rejection Of which they are toyote on the
nth last. We hope they have.decidsd to support
it for many reasons. lst--because it provides
for the election Of State officers, judges Of
Courts, &c, by the people, from whom they de-
rive their power. 2nd--because it provides fol
the equal taxation Of all property, whether in
dividual OF corporate. 3rd- because il prohib-
its the granting Of special charters, and provides
that general laws shall be passed by which any
and all may derive the benefits of associated
action, which will save the State thousands Of
dollars per annum 4th-because it provides
for the protection Of private property against
corporate companies, which have formerly had
the privilege Of taking such property without
paying in many instances an equivalent 4th-
because provides judiciary system calcula-
ted TO bring justice nearer every mans door,
thereby saving the people from endless vexa-
ton, litigation and expense; 6th-because nc
more debts can be contracted by the State be-
yond limited amount, thus forever preventing
reputation or burthensome taxation 7th--be-
cause, en- the whole it is much better than the
old one, and we never expect to see a constitu-
ton adopted that will please all and sth-
because it can be amended at any time with very
little delay and expense.
