From Mrs. Hale' a Magazine. Physical Education of Woman. We propose to offer few remark upon the physical education of woman; that culture of the corporeal power, which alone can enable tier to perform the duties of life with pleasure to herself and profit to others. That a vigorous exercise of mind depend upon a wholesome condition of the various organs of the human frame, we need not contend.

Some rare instances are found where the intellectual power seems to gleam, like the consuming fire of the bird of fable, when muter is returning fast to ns destined decay but the whole h'story of our race affords proof that well sustained mental vigor exists only in conjunction with good habits of diet and exercis. which give a healthy tone to all th functions of animal life. Not only the power, but the quiet and complacency of the mind, depend upon physical health. A great proportion of the fretfulnewt, irritability, and nervous excitement, which render individuals, and sometimes families wretched. Brine from disease; and tin disease is too often caused by habits, adopted and continued through ignorance or a perverse folly.

If action are wic ed, as they are injurious, then are those ferns les wicked, who disregard the dictates of nature, and severe in practice which not only render themselves burthens uDon society, but too frequently entail mise ries upon other, for which, soma day, they will be called to a at vt re repentance. A very few of the pmmui nt causes of vitiated animal powers are all that we can now mention. 1 lie nrxt vvc hall advert to, is impropriety of dress. An important fact to hedilisentlv consul rred. by those who have the charsenf infanta i.

that th nr esscs of breathing and digesting are mainly assisted v. if not dependent on he vieorou action of muscles. Ivinz up in the surface, as it were, of the body and these are the two grand functions of orir inized life. In whatever war they are check ed, life becomes less perfect, and the organization iuelf is speedily impaired, so that it cannot be restored, in fact, restoration is far less important than prevention, in philosophical consideration of ttie subject. To ensure free respiration and digestion, it is manifest that the great organ to which those duties are allotted.

should have the ability to carry on their several operations according to the economy of nature. The lungs and the stomach dnpend on the muscles which are spcrad over the chest, both beloro and behind, to as sit their action. Those muscles must be in constant activity if they nrc inoperative, the internal organs lose a part of their power to support the demands made upon them, in their several capacities. A long train of nervous, dyspeptic and other compliant follow the weakness of the stomach, and consumption is the terrific destroyer of these victims, in later generations, to weakness of the lunes. The first step, ns must be apparent, to secure a vigorous condition of the growing frame, is to give full freedom to all those pans which assist the action of vital organs, and to encourage thoir uevelopcment bv appropriate exercises.

All mus cles may be made more powerful hv judicious exertion and those of the breast and shoulders, require it more than anv others thev are the h't to exhibit symptom of weakness if neelccted: nnd thev ore the most im portant. Look nt a eirl hose exercise is limited to nn occasional promenade, or nn occasional dance you will find her shoulder round, and her body stoopin or you will perceive that in the ohsenrof all muscular ability to sit straight, fashionable dress has intervened to correct the deformity produced by idleness The complaint is often heard, that females are weak without the support of dn ss. The fact is, they have taken from the frame its uniform action, and have transferred to articles of apparel, those duties which belong entirely to the muscles Gk! created for cert iin well known definite purposes. A female who canuot sit erect, and remain so with ease, without the assistance of artificial means, hns so long trifled with her constitution, that muscle after muscle will yield action after action will cease: ihe first indication of the cominz evil is weakness of some particular part the next is confined disorder of the digestive organs, or consumption. By the fashion of modern times, the che is encased in a species of apparel which forbids all motion of the muscles around it the shoulders nje kept in the same resolute position the body can bend neither forw ard nor backwards, nor sideways the muscles are compre tightly upon the bones and this innction and pressure itroduce absorption for nature, as she creates nothing to be useless, so she refuses to suppert and nourish any tiling whose use has been discerned, ine muscie "i any part, particularly those of the htdy.

weaken when disturbed, and after the vital enerev has begun todepart. a moderate degtc of pressure will hasten their till scarcely the vestige of a muscle is left. The vital actions depending in a great measure upon them, become feeble, and disease, deep sealed, perliops irradicahle. may be discovered in every look nnd motion Ages of inter misery would lie too little tor the punishment of him who made the fashionable orld In lieve tlmt a small waist is rssenti to heutilv. That belief introduced a mode of dress which the voice of leil thousand thunders would not repel.

Thnt dress ul solulely prevents all useful exercise; and the victim ol high life, is practised upon by the mantua niaker, lill she is deserted by her own vital power, and, having communicated disease to her offspring, and ndered all her friends uncomfortable by her constant ailnvs repininsrs, and uselessness, she sinks to an untimely grave. We shudder while we write the melancholy truth but we do not use the language of exaggeration. Our aim is to tell the plainest fact in the simplest language, being anxious to be intelligible rather than To prevent the evils anil terrible diseases mentioned, these things are absolutely necessary. 1st. Freedom ot motion from youth upward.A most ol all in that period of life when the animal organs are nearly developed and are alout to take lorm, and consistency, as the growing process is suspended, that will render any chance more difficult, Sufficiency of motion, which, by calling upon all the parts tor their due proportion of assistance will cause their doe equality, ami to aid or counter halance each other, till exquisite beau twa riifinlmred in symmetrical Dronortions.

glow ing comoUxion. and sparkling eves. 3d. Well regula ted diet; but this is foreigu to the topics under immedi ate consideration. II iw much of the uneasiness manifested children their restlessness, crying, and consequent sickness, is occasioned by improper restrictions ol dress, no one can toll Tht nnin should follow a compression of the in fantile organs, just laboring to attain a strong and correct action, is but a natural result and without doubt.

sickness and fits too often arise from the remote cause of imnrnner management on the part of the nurses, in regard to dress alone. Every part of the youthful frame should he unconstrained, but especially the chest it compression must be resorted to. tor elegance and fash ion sake, let it he the fashion to hiud the hands and feet, and not the viscera on which life more immediately (tprwnrf. As the child continues to grow, the importance of varied and energelic exercise in the developemeni of the vital rjortion of our Ira me is altogether in dexible. If the arms and shoulders are sufferee, to remain idle, a contraction of the chest is the i consequence the shoulders approach each other in front, a consiant pressure is exerted upon the tunes, and serious consequences ensue, i In kind of evil is sometimes remedied by a back board, which may draw the shoulders back, to be sure, but will only add to the com im? misfortune.

The pressure of the hoanl mion ihe h.iek. nod tho manner in which it is confined, serve to injure the muscles of the back, so that, without external support. Ine Doay must dciiu. ior ward. and.

as it were, double up. compressing all vital oreans. in a most dangerous manner. Lt 11 oe uis tincllv remembered that the body is kept upright, in conside aMe measure, by the power ot muscles ot the hack, which, in a health condition, are large and strong; and that any compression continued, tend to weaken, and may. it in a high degree, destroy them altogether.

Stooping, therefore, is symptom ol weak ness of muscles of the back. The common remedy is a case formed in part of wood and whalebone, draw on. tisullv and stifllv round the chest, that not only tooDinir but all other motions are impossible. The patient. for the moment artifice is required, in sup port of the human frame, there is disease, the patient may be straitened out, but the consequences of taking the work of nature out of her own control are manifested bv the nale countenance, the difficult respi ration, the loathsome aonettte.

the neivous irritability the ineanacitv to arduous fatigue, the cough, the hectic, the consumption, and last of all, to close the history of thwarted nature, the early grave. Consumption is sometimes caused by hereditaay com mur.icatiyn. but more often by inactive habits, and the consequent pressure which is adopted by all the fashionables, to redeem the bodv from a bent posture and it can be avoided in almost all cases by a careful ad istment of exercise and diet, giving fair play to all Ihe part. Some consumptives are tormeii wun contracieo chests, a peculiar conformation, hereditary derived, and the only course to save them from the deslroytr, is to institute such habits in early life, as will tend to expand llio box, if we may so say. in which the vital organs are deposited.

Two thiucsare needed in Boalon. nnd per haps evcrv where else. One is a woman, who. with the spirit of Miss Wrig'it. but in a holy cause, will learn to jnious.rate the anatomy of the chest and abdo men, at least, of ail females, that they may know for themselves, as well as for their offspring, more man tney win nutieve without seeing and teeiing.

to the wounded side of the Redeemer. Men may write but people will not read or cannot understand and there is obvious impropriety in anatomical lectures delivered by men to classes of females but if a properly educated woman, of strong mind and heart, would undertake such a task in behalf of her sex, she wuuld de serve the appellation of Apostle of usefulness to a misguided generation. The other needful thing is a sys tem ofcalislhenic exercises ui a proper place, with proper apparatus and under scientific and practical in structor. Our opinion is, that it people die of consumption, it is in most case by foul play either the person commits suicide, or is the victim of murderous manage ment on the part of others. Thus far we have noticed only indigestion and coi sumption but here is another disease scarcely less for midable, and quite as fatal in its worst cases we mean distortion of the spine.

The spine or backbone. as it is commonly called, is composed ol a great number of small bono, bound together with surlaces nearly flat, between which is a soft substance, that operates ot the same time to hold them fast, and to break any jar, which nuM oraduce serious effect upon a solid column Now, these small bones or are kept in their true longitudinal direction, in a great measure uy me muscles of the lck and it is by reason of those muscles that we keep the erect posture and if they become weakened, either on one or both sides, the column is liibletodeviate.eithersidewvysoroutwards, producing an elevation of one shoulder, so often seen, or a humped bock, which is the most terrible and often the most fatal form of the disease. If a voune girl's muscles have not been strengthened by exercise, and it she has a habit of lotuug upon one side, or sleeping upon one siue, ine inevitable consequence is that the spinal column being bent and having nothing to restore it, it must remain in the wrong direction. After it has for a long time been accustomed to its unnatural situation, hi that the sur round ng pan have taken a Corresponding condition, a cure is exceedingly ditUcalt. In the first place, the column must be straightened, and the muscles of the short aide extended the ribs will then come to their true po siuon, and by careful management, it is possible so to restore the vigor of the frame, that life ill be rendered comfortable, and prolonged in its lieauty and grace.

We have already pointed out the means of prevention it only lemairu to say a lew words on the method of cure. And here we feci bound to say, that the gratitude of the whole community is diiD to Doctor Grigg, of this city, for his extensive and valuable researches in the mysteries of this subject. He has studied the apparatus and machinery of past times and of ot tier countries, tod has combined the best points of all in a species of bedstead, in which machinery is so arranged, aa to afford the desirable effect in restoring the true con dition of the body. ur. (ingg's machine is reprweiiieu ui head of this article, and it will be seen, that PPhes an easy process of extension by means of the inclined plene, which divides, and sepa.ates the lower portion i 1 1 V.

nnur tiding downwards, to exienu me iiuuy, mro part ith the hsad and snoutoers, retain tneir position. This extension may be increased or diminished by raising or lowering the bed of which the plane is formed so that the patient may be perpendicularly suspended. or suffered to lie horizontally, or placed in any interme diate position, according to the seventy ot means requir ed and all this in the most convenient manner Mercise is also introduced for the raising and lowering ol the bed, men requires exertion on the pait ol tne pnuem. being accomplished by a cord passing over the wheel. which is drawn by the hand.

Friction is aiterwaros applied to excite the muscles by the patient hersel I or a friend, as may be niot suitable, and by perseverance a cure even of an obstinate case may be effected, while nail incipient stages of thediseuso it isspeeoy ana cer tain. Many more things deserve notice in tne construc tion nf fhi and useful aouar. but it 1 8Ut ficient lo say. tnat one of our most distinguished surgeons has pronounced it the beet of which he has any knowledge. We trust that while Dr.

Grigg labors thus successfully to understand ar.d overcome this scourge ot the fa shionable world." the opportunity will not be disre garded to avail of his ability hv all who are sutlerers in this ease; and we shall be most happy if our remarks are so adapted to the want nf the times, a to induce any persons to avoid or to eradicate tne disease ot wnicn we have spoken, before it be too late. The moment an inclination to one side is perceived, or that one shoulder or shoulder blade gain the predominance over the other, then is the time to apply the remedy, and to avoid pernicious habits. 1T31TI1TG POST. MONDAY, MARCH 21. Bank Rcbhery The City Eank, in Wall street, was entered by means of false keys, sometime after closing the bank on Saturday evening and Monday morning.

and robbed, as near as can be ascertained, of near two hundred thousand dollars in bank bills, and two hundred Spanish doubloons. Sixty nine thousand five hundred dollars of this amount were in bill of country banks. None of the notes lodged for collection, checks, or any other sureties held by the bank are missing. There are no marks of violence perceptible on any ihe doors leading into the bank, or on those leading to the vaults. Active measures were immediately adopted the Rr.ird of Directors to trace out the villains, but we do not learn that they have, as yet.

made any discovery which enables them to direct their pursuit lo any one given point. So ingenious hsve thieves become of laic, it would really seem that locks are no security And as lo the city watch. nUUIlim in. ii whose duty it is to guard our property by night, the iu meroiis recent robin tie show that there is little dependence to be on them The bank has offered the iullowing reward. 85000 REWAilD.

The City Bank of this city having been entered by means of false keys, between Saturday afternoon. 19th int. and Monday morning. 21st. and robbed of a large amount of bank notes the above reward is ottered lor ihe recovery of the property, and a proportionate sum for any part.

The following comprises the hole amount ol the robbery, including deposites for safe keeping About $10,000, notes of the I.insingburgh Bank. 20,000, do. Morris Canal Bank Company. 2,500, 3,000, 2,000, 2,000, do. Kmland Bank, Vermont, do.

Orange County Bank, do. Newburgh Bank, do. Morris Bank, New Jersey. A large amount of the notes ol tne uniereiii this city. Also 200 Spanish Doubloons.

No collection notes, checks, or any other securities held bv Ihe Bank. The floors ol" the Bank and vault were found on Monday morning, closet! and locket! as usual. 11. A. WORTH, Cosh'r New York, March 2 1st, 1S31.

tt We have heard that a few days since it was dis covered by the derangement of the books, papers and furniture lhat another Banking House in Wall street imd been entered by false keys, but the villains were not able to penetrate the vault which contained the mo ney. Perhaps this was only a preparatory visit, to as certain how tho land lay. and take a cast ol tne iock lo the vault, for a more bold operation. We understand, that two or three unsuccessful at tempts were made on ooiurtiay uigm to mm Maiden lane wiih false keys, in doing which the warus of the locks were twisted and bent, and the locks spoiled. Tl.e nartv string themselves the National Republi i 1 1 MunMHl an cans, alias mev iay pany, signed by Clarkson Crolins, in relation to the pproaching election of members of the Corporation.

It i a thorough going party document, tne suosinneuoi hich is, that the affairs of the city have not been well managiJ by the Common Council, and that the only remedy is to elect a set of members from the Clay pariy. Arenrdine to the doctrine of the address, nobody can properly superintend our municipal matters, unless he is for Henry Clay no person i fit to decide uisjn the opening ol a new street, or on the repaviog of an old no mau is fit to look to the Alms House, the re nitentiary, or the Bridewell, unless he is for Henry i I. 1 Clay the Clay men should dislriouie an ine uou make all the contracts for the c.ty the very oil with which our streets are lighted should smell of Heury Clay in short, all the honesty, intelligence, aim taieni is on the side of the Clay party, and the oniy way to have the affairs of the city conducted ith tolerable ho nea.y, judgment, ami economy, is iw dates as Ihe Clay party shall propose. The address, we observe, admits that the late charter hprk was a Dau one ma; it mu i upon public expenditures, nor provide an adequate system of responsibility and that the new one supplies these deficiencies. This is what, forour part, we have always said but it seems to be a new discovery of the Nutionals.

We remember that the changes in the char l. ni.ii nilmittpH ter, necessary anti imporiani ns unj to be, were vehemently opposed in journals belonging to the Clay party. Then every thing was pn per and right things were well enough as they were there was no necessity for an alteration. XNow, it seems, another d.trine is convenient. The truth is, that the is about to expire, were too unlimited and arbitrary in their nature not to be liable to great abuses it would indeed be next to a miracle that such powers should be always properly exercised.

The only safe way is lo limit the pow. rs. to impose check i up haste, and to remove temptations to extravagant expend tur. and then our city affair will be safe in the hand of men of ordinary integrity. This has been doue, and we smuiu hope that men could be found, who will exetcise uprightly and discreetly the functions of Common Council men under the new charter, without resorting to a litt I II of candidates proposed by an ouscure uw beer politicians, hose zeal for ihe public welfare muy be resolved into an itcu for ufiice.

But the pleasaritest part of the address relates to the Secretary rf State, Mr. Van Buren. By putting a sti of Clay members into the Common Council, it urged thai shall get rid or the domination or the becreta of State, who. by means of his central juntas, has so long ruled with a rod of iron." This is reserved, a sort of knock duw argument, for the conclusion oi the address. The Secretary of Slate is the universal bug bear of the Clay party.

He is responsible for every ihing that goes wrong, or can be imagined to go wrong. We dare say the more zealous ant! thorough going of that fac ion believe that he causes their rheumatisms and colics that he occasionally amuses himself with giving them a twinge of the gout or amoming headach that through his mean ihe small pox was introduced into our city and that, if the truth was known, he had a hand in producing the late bard winter. We copy below, from the National Intelligencer of ilurJay last an account of the opinion of the Supreme Court of the United State, in the case of the Cherokee nation, versus the Slate of Georgia. This decision will be perused with lively satisfaction by our readers, who cannot have forgotten ihe note of exultation which was sounded by the opposition papers, when Mr. Wirt's opinion, and his letter lo Governor Gilmer, were published and their confident anticipations of the overthrow of the stale of Gaorgia.

The decision of the Supreme Court confirms the wisdom and justice of the view taken by the Execuliveon tlie subject. The ground of trie Court ia identical with that of General Jackson, and may be justly considered another strong evidence of his clear discriminating good sense which governs his views in the different matters of national concernment which come before him. When the ii junction ws sued for by the Cherokee, we were exultingly told by the opposition papers, that the poor Indians would at last have justice done them that tb arrogant and usurping spirit of Georgia would he humbled IbeEx eculive compelled to resort to measures to stay the highhanded course of that stale. What is the result The Indian. im nreived i us lice.

Their ridiculous and party animosity, were sensible that it most be treated by I the highest judicial tribunal of the nation. The Supreme Court tells them, that they an not foreign nation in the sense of the Constitution, but "domestic, dependent nations, in slate of pupilage." The absurd doctrine that a foreign savage nation, may exist within the heart of a state, independent of her jurisdiction totally irresponsible to her laws is set at rest. The argument of Mr. Wirt, a sketch of winch we published in our last Friday's paper, as well as his pre viously published opinion, was founded expressly on the ground that the Cherokee were foreign sinle, neither owing allegiance to the United Slates, to Georgia, nor to any other power. The decision of the Court strays, at one fell swoop, the whole foundation of hi argument, and the superstructure of co 'ine goes with it.

Not only so, but even if the Cherokee were a for eign independent power, the Court could not exercise jurisdiction. For the Court to undertake to arbitrate such questions, would be to assume a political power not intended to be vested in it." Thus, Mr. Wirt is told that he has attempted to sustain his case on grounds ultt rly false, and that were they even true, they would avail him nothing. The reader will see by the article from the Intelligencer, that the Court intimated that cases involving the right of individuals to their land might come up before that tribunal. This is very right.

No one has ever doubled that the Indiana ought to be and would be protected in their right of property. No attempt has, to our knowledge, ever been made to invade or dispossess them of that right. What said Gen. Jackson in his first message on that subject 'Their emigration should be voluntary, (we quote the language of lhat excellent state paper)" for it would be as cruel as unjust to compel the aborigines to aban don the graves of their fathers and seek a home in a distant land. But they should be distinctly inlormed that if they remain ithin the limits of the state they must be subject to their laws In return for their obedience, as individual, they will, withoutdoubt, be protected in the enjoy ment of those possessions which they have improved by their industry." Such has been the uniform language of the Government.

The Cherokee have been told frequently and tzplicitly, that their claim to be considered an indepeu dent.nition could not and would not be recognised, but that the faith of treaties should be preserved, and ihey be protected in the enjoyment of their property. The benevolence, as well as the justice and wisdom of the course taken and recommended by (General Jackson, has been admitted by foreign nations; and would never have been denied here, but for the advancement ol cuds altogether distinct from real sympathy for the red men. The opposition will now have lo change their key. The supreme tribunal of the nation is happily above the control ol such motives and prejudices as have led the outcry against Ihe Chief Magistrate, and tho intem perate censures of the course pursued by Georgia. That state, for the mere exercise of an unquestionable attribute of her sovereignty, ha been much vilified l.er chief men have been held up to public reprehension a merciless tyrants, and their firmness and iiidejiendence ba been cal ed by the harshest names.

The Supreme Court has been exultmgly pointed at as the tr.bunal hich was to set all right which was to exalt tlie Indian, and humble his oppressor and we shall see," the opposition prints have exultingly exclaimed, if a state will dare resist il award, or the Chief Magistrate of tlie nation reluae lo carry it into effect by forceof arms.if necessary." We trust that they, ho were so kindly solicitious that all due delerence and obedience should be yielded lo the Supreme Court, while hugged themselves in the belref that its decision would be in favor of the Indians, will, now lhat the question is decided the other way, show that they were sincere in llieir professions of resp ot for that tribu nal. We look to see hat some of our contemporaries who have uttered a greul many hard thing ou this subject for three or four months back which they will not care to have cast up to them now ill say ol the decision which we now proceed to copy. from the Rational Intelligencer, March 19. Georgia and the Cherokee The Supreme Court of the United Stales leriuiiuiied it annual se sion yesterday. Among the decisions pronounced previous to the ad journment, was one upon lue application, on the part of the Cherokee nut ion, for an injunction to stay certain proceeding of the Slaieof Georgia.

Thed.cision of the Court was an unequivocal denial of the injunction. The opinion of the Court was read by Chief Justice Marshall, and is therefore to be presumed to be irom hi luminous mind and pen. We have not been able to obtain it for publication, anxiously a we desired lo do so. We heard il read, however, nnd shall venture i. far to report the ground of as to state, that ihe Court disclaims jurisdiction of the case, on the ground that the Cherokee nation is not a fort tgn nation, in the sense of the Constitution.

These Indian nations, it is the opinion of a majority of Ihe Court, are not sove re gna, independent ol the sovereignty oi tne uuiieu States, but domestic dependent nations, in a state of pupilage to the United States, or in a relation corresponding to that which wants have lo their guardians. The Supreme Court, therelbre, cannot lake cognizance of cases to hich it is sought tu make theru parties as nations. With respect to the right of the Cherukees, however, as individuals, to the land guarantied tu them, it was pretty distinctly intimated, in the opinion of the Court, that there is a mode by hich they may be brought before the Supreme Court for adjudication. Ttie Opinion went on lo say, that, if the objection lo entertaining jurisdiction in thu case were not fatal lo the application, there were other grounds on Inch an application for the interference of this Court in the case would encounter grave objections. If jurisdiction was exercised in the case, it must le on the ground lhat Ihe Cherokee ire a foreign nation and Ihe relation be tween foreign rowers and tne frt tte are placed in the charge ofa different branch of the Government.

For this Ctiurl lo undertake to arbitrate such questions, would be to assume a political power not intei.ded lo be vested in il. it were true, as argued, that the Ct jro kee Nation is oppressed by the Stale of Georgia. A c. A c. it not to this Court (the Opinion concluded,) but to other tribunals, to assert their rights and redress their wrongs.

Mr. Justice Baldwin delivered a very long separate opinion, agreeing entirely in the conclusion low hit the majority ot the Court had arrived, but not concurring in the views taken in the Opinion which had been read. Mr. Justice Johnson also delivered a separate opnuon on the question. Our oion opinion on the subject is ofliltle consequence: but the reasoning of the Court upon the Constitutional provisions bearing upon the case appeared to us to be conclusive.

The Baltimore Republican says The Court were divided on the question. The Chief Justice, and Justices Johnson. McLean, ami Baldwin, against Justices Thompson and Story." Our readers will find on the first page of our paper power allowed tlieJCorporation.under thecharter which of toayt the substance of Mr. Selden's remarks in the House of Assembly on the bill to abolish imprisonment for debt, which we had given out for publication before we received the note from a correspondent requesting that it might appear in our columns as a corrective of the inaccurate and defective reports of the speech in circulation Mr. Dunlap's Attack on the Louvre.

The historical picture by Mr. Dunlap, representing the Attack on the Louvre during the late French Revolution, is just com I leted and is now exhibiting to the public at the National Gallery over the Arcade Baths, in Chambers street We were permitted to see this picture while yet in an unfinished state, and the design appeared to us striking and spirited. The artist has availed himself of all the helps that could be had to make it an authen representation of this memorable event. The facade of Ihe Louvre and the bridge, both accurately delineated, the youliis of the polytechnic school, the national guards, the genu (Tarmts, all in their proper costume, make the picture almost a Jac simile of the very scene which must have taken place, and cause it to satisfy the curiosity while it fills the imagination of the spec With great pleasure we give place to the follow ing communication. WOODCOCK.

Mr. Editor. The fallowing brief report of a trial which took p.ace on Saturday last. (19th March.) for a violation of the law for the preservation of game, is transmitted for publication, trusting that a perusal of it will deter others from similar transgressions. Those who are so reckless as to destroy ihe woodcock (as well as partridge, dec.) at thia particular season of the year, should be aware that not only our Corporation ordinances are against the practice, but that there is also an express statute of the slate of New York rendering it penal, so that the offender will not have even Ihe chance of eluding which has sometimes happened in cases where contradiction has been supposed to ex ist between the statutes and our municipal regulations.

It may likewise not be amiss to stale for the information of mercenary sportsmen, that an association of gentlemen exists in this city, as well as in many of the adjacent counties. sho are determined to use all legal means for the punishment of auch infractions. Those also who may be in the habit of purchasing thia delicate species of game for their own tables, ought to be aware that by the statute they are deemed equally culpable with those who kill and bring this article of food to market. They should particularly bear in roipd that it ia at this season of the year these birds are to be obtained only by destroying them while actually on their nests, or while seeking sustenance for their young the destruction therefore of the mother in such cases, ia ne i. denied.

Their pretension to be I cessarily followed by the 1. of all the progeny. It is i. i. treated, as intelligent said by Wilson in his celebrated work on Ornithology, rDreiUdice.ndnlwbckledby that the Wooden (Scolryox Minor) arrive, in the commencement of March, sometimes earlier, and Be gins to lay soon afterwards, consequently the practice complained of.

the diminution of lha speciea, is mani festly a privation to the pmlaW of the epicure, as wen aa detrimental to the pleasure of the legitimate sports man. It will be remarked that in this trial, the cautious manner ih hich the birds were offered for sale, and the great diCiculty of inducing some of the witnesses to give their testimony, did not benefit the defendant. The Corporation of New York vs. Hart. ueiore Wheaton, Esq.

Justice or the First District Court. Msrch 19. 1821. This action was brought to recover the penalty of $10, for an alleged violation of an ordinance which declares, "That no person shall bring into, or offer, or expose for sale in any public market or other place in this city, any Woodcock, between Ihe first day of February and the first day of July, in any year, under the penalty of ten dollars for each offence. Mr.

was first sworn aa a witness, but noth ine could be elicited from his examination. 1 wo or three other witnesses were examined without effect Mr. as sworn, and testified that on Tuesday morning the 15th March, he was in the Fulton market, and saw the defendant there hile near him the wit ness heard the defendant offer woodcocks tor sate, at two different time to two different individuals, the defendant stating that they were fresh and good. The witness did not see the birds, but had no doubt they were locked up in a box near the defendant. Here Mr.

i. 1.., B. was again called, and being presseti 10 truth, was compelled to admit, that he brought down from Hempstead on Tuesday morning a parcel of woodcocks, which he sold to the defendant at Brooklyn, and received from him his pr.ee therefor. Upon this testimony the cause "was submitted to the Judge, who without hesitation, decided that the defendant was guilty of a violation of the ordinance, and accordingly aw arded judgment agonist him for the penolty and costs. Free Trade" must excuse us for refusing to publish his communication.

We can see no more impropriety in the friends to the tariff and what is called the "American System," in New York, giving a dinner to Mr. Webster, by ay of encouraging him to persevere and uphold their inlerr sts.thon there would be in the fiiends of Free Trade at Boston giving Mr. Cambreleng a dinner if he should happen to be on a visit to the quarters of sound principles and literature. The Baltimore papers informs us that last Thursday morning they had a fall of snow, hich was followed by a high ind, approaching almost to a hurricane. A letter from Harrisburgof 17, says, A snow storm has iust arrived express from the mountains, and the ground is now covered." It forcibly reminds ns of the truth of the old adage, "that March comes inlikea lamb, but goes out like a lion." A fire broke out on Sunday morning, the 13th inst.

the distillery of Messrs. R. A. Handyside, at the Ruisseau Mi.n, in the suburbs of Montreal, which terminated in the complete destruction ol their exten 1 years. sive and valuable premises.

The property was insured at the Quebec Agency Office for 2250, on the buildings, stock and machinery, and a policy of a similar nature for 2000 at the Phenix Fire Insurance Company.

Washington. March i7th 1831. By the return of the ship Carolinian, the brig Volador and the schooner Zembuca, Irom Liberia, despatches have been received from the Colony up to the first of February. The Colonial Agent writes, that on his return to Africa, he found Ihe affairs of the Colony in a more prosperous condition than he had ventuied lo anticipate that more than iiveiity five substantial sione or trame buildings had been trected at Monrovia during his absence, and that others were in progress; that the spirit of improvement seems to have p. rvaded all classes; that agriculture is receiving more attention, and lhat the settlers generally seecied resolved to developt the resources of the Country.

Two of the Colonists, Messrs. Francis Taylor tnd Frederick James, were about to depart on an exploring expedition into the interior, and would probably be absent six or eight months. Another of the native Chiefs hail placed himself and his people under the protection of the Colony, and tw other chief were seeking the same and ready to submit to the Laws of the Colony. They deem it a great privilege to he allowed to call themselves American. Mea ures have been taken to estabhsh Schools in all the settlements, and the Colonists appear ready and desirous of contributing to their support.

trei harmony and peace appear to prevail among the seniors and a determination to fulfil, by their industry, enu i prize and public spirit, the hopes and expectation ol their friends in thi country. The change of climate effected more severely than usual, the emigrants by the (who had Buffered by the Measles during their voyage) and about twenty out of the one hundred and six. who had embarked, had died all the others were in a fair way of recovery. We are pained lo he obliged lo announce the deaths of the ife and child of the Rev. Benjamin Rush Skinner, the Baptist Missionary, ho took passage in the Carolinian.

We rejoice to slate that the Swiss Missionaries are now in theeiijovment of good health. The brig Volador arrived with Dr. Todsen who will reside at present at Caldwell, lo which place Ihe emigrants by the Volador re immediately removed. The conduct of the Captains of the Carolinian and Volador, is spoken of in high terms, and Ihe attentions of the officers of the Colony to their important duties, have been unremitted.

LEGISLATURE Of NEW 1'WK. IN SENATE Saturday, March 19. Mr. Bronson, from the committee appointed at tlie last session of the Legislature to examine the charge preferred by S. M.

Hopkins against Elam Lyndes, late keeper of the Sing Sing State Prison, made a very long report upon that sunject. i ne report entirely exnone rates Mr. Lyndes from all the charges against him, and concludes by stating, that nothing has been discovered which in the least derogated from his high and well earned reputation, as connected with our penitentiary system. Double the usual number of copies were ordered printed. Bill read a third time and passed Respecting the qualifications of voters for charter officers in the city of New York.

HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY Saturday, March 19. Petitions Of John Griscora and others of N. York, to incorporate the society for the encouragement of" tithful domestic servants of the corporation of New York, that the powers of the Manhattan Company lo supply said city with water, be repealed, and that the same powers be vested in the memorialists. Bill read a third time and passed To incorporate the New York Whalina Company, ayes 98, noes 4. Mr.

Stil well, from the select committee to whom was referred the bill to abolish imprisonment for debt, reported the same with sundry amendments, which were ordered printed. HOSPITAL FOR SEAMEN. The committee of the whole. Mr. Love in the chair, again took up the bill to provide lor sick and disabled seamen.

The amendment proposed by Mr. Livingston, to the udditiona I section offered by Mr. Otis, was under consideration. The additional section declares lhat $8000 shall be annually appropriated towards the sup rx.rt of ihe house of refuse in the city of New York, from ihe lax on passengers entering that purl. The amendment provides that in case this tax is insullicient.

in any year, to defray the expenses of the quarantine establishment and pay ibis 9SO00, the deficit shall be paid out ol ihe state treasury. A long and interesting discussion ensued, in which several members took part. Messrs. Curtis. Myers, Livingston.

Spencer and Otis advocated the amendment to the additional section. Messrs. Turrill and Selden opposed the amendment and Ihe section. Messrs. Edmonds and Birdsall were in favor of the additional section without the amendment.

Messis. Morgan, Harrison and Cnppen gave several statements and explanations with regard to the quarantine establishment, the fund from which il is supported, the amount of it expenditure for the lost ten year, and the sum paid from the mariners towards loe support of the house of refuge. The amend, ment was finally adopted, and the section as amended, nSHripd alr.

The committee rose and reported without taking the question on this section, and obtained leave to sil again. Adjourned. From the Journal of Commerce. Sentence Day Joseph Houston, attorney at law. a young man of prepossessing exterior, convicted by his own confession, of stealing a valuable cloak from the lity Hotel, tne property ot John K.

Marshall, was on Saturday put to the bar of Ihe Court of Sesnions to receive sentence. The Recorder remarked to him he now stood before the community as a disgraced and ruined man. Educated lo a noble and liberal profession, which would have given him an elevated rank in life blessed with friend of the highest respectability and wealth in the county of Orange, and possessing an appearance and address that were calculated to lull all suspicion he had prostituted all his advantages, and descended to the meanness of going to a house of public resort and committing depredations upon tbe inmates, in order to supply the demands created by his extravagance and vice. The spectacle was painful and distressing. Nurtured front infancy by parents ho fondly dreamed that the summer moraine of hia vesrs Would be bright and joyous, and inspired by tbe hope that' bit tourse in life wouia oe inev comtort and solace in old age, ne had commenced a career of crime and prosecuted it as if resolved on self destruction, until he bad fairly planted a worm in tneir nearta, whose gnawinga would cease only with death.

The law made no distinction between man and man. The Court bad it in their power to send Qin pnb.n i hnt the case in which be stood a criminal was not the only one oi his offences. there were five other bargee whicn nsa wlun Ik. nf hi, ffUllt WS tl nnki'in therefore reouireu. ha imprisoned in tne State Prison at Sing Sing, at hard labor, for the term ot five yean.

Jameii Johnaon. alias Simpson, who pleaded gunty to the charge of picking the pocket of Dr. J. Smith was put to the bar. The Recorder told him ne was a pickpocket of ihe most adroit and daring character, unit anolhnr inuanra of a man of good address and education throw ing himself aw ay.

His wife, a wnan of good manners, had interceded in his behalf, but Ihe Court were urged to discharge their duty by tne powerful consideration that il the guilty were "5ed unpunished, the innocent must be sacrificed, toucn as ihe increase of crime that it as impossible to preserve social order without arming the criminal laws with all their energy, and it was their judgment therefore that he be confined in the Siale Prison, at hard la bor, for the term of five years. While the Kecoroer speaking, his wile nearly fainted, and was carried out ol Court by the officers in attendance. George I. Jenkins was brought to the bar. The Ke corder observed lo him lhat he had been convicted on two indictments for obtaining money by false and ulent lepresentstions.

He had. in July UM, cheated Lr. Hyde out of 81400, and in February last, Capl. sum i. lent mat Cant.

Bedell had been imposed on without the caution on his part that he ought to have exeicised; but he was approached rjy the prisoner in an artful manner, with a aVne had bought property in Elizabeth street for which he could sell lor 932 OIIO.

The prool ol guilt was so clear, that the Jury returned tueir verdici mmm In the case of Mr. Hyde, there was developed an artful synera of fraud, so complete and well contrived as to mrow iuHiBv in.r.....

He had known the prisoner, Jen kins, when a boy, and meeting bira by accident, was assured by him that he had been very successlul in nu unman nf wealth and resnt ctabil nv ir mnrocKiiiHl ihat he owned a lot on hich he purposed to erect a gun factory, nnd exhibiting the same receipt for money paid, prevailed on Mr. Hyde lo lend him in an iino iifinlprl moment, the sum of $1400.

Not snriJfieH with these Gentlemen, he had insli gated his counel lo pour out a profusion of abuse on their herds and they had thrown out imputations which the witnesses, smarting under their losse, were compelled lo sit and endure. The entire transaction disclos ed so artful a scene of iniquity, that the Court, in justice to the parties and Ihe community, leittnemseives caueu on to give the prisoner Ihe full measure of punishment nlLiuu! hi Hi Inu. nml ilu refore adiudzed him to an imnrisonment ol" six vears in the Stale Prison.

The Alma house at Calverton. three miles from the City, was reported to be on fire, to which the firemen with Ihe engines proceeded with their accustomed alacrity.
