Rossignolle was the most wonderful of all the species which in my experience have flooded the stage. His ability lays not in simply imitating the human voice, (the common province of human vertriloquists, and the most attainable,) but those of all birds and beasts, and all noises whether natural or mechanical. It was difficult to say which was most to be admired in his organ its astounding powTer or its minute liquidity; for he could give you as correct j an idea of the sawing of a'huge piece of timber, as of the song of a linnet. His entertainment was divided into three parts with two appropriate scenes, which he carried with him: the first represented an aviary and menagerie, in which he personated the keeper and as he approached every animal or bird, gave its distinct growl or whistle; the next was the interior of a works! lop, in which he pretended to be making boxes and imitated the sounds of all the implements employed. These were rendered characteristic by his dress, and somcwliat humorousvby his broken English exclamations. But the third and perhaps most ordinary scene was his performance on a violin without strings, of a variety of difficult music. Here the allusion exceeds conjecture ; and what too was most delightful, all Plymouth came to partake in it. Rossignolle was a fellow of very humorous ideas; he had met with adventures in all quarters of Europe, which it was his sole amusement to recount. Among the number, one that occurred to him on the road from Exeter to Plymouth was not the least whimsical. He had taken his place in the night coach, but by a mistake or connivance was expelled to the outside. The night was very dark and soon after the coach set oil it began to rain, which in regard to Devonshire, is to say that the water came down like a cataract. Being neither provided with a great coat or umbrella, he naturally envied the situation of those who sat under him. To desire their comfort, was but another throb with him to endeavor to obtain it; and in the depth of his roguery, there fore, as well as distress, he resolved upon the following expedient. He was the only passenger outside, and his location being the dicky, the coachman at the other extremity of the vehicle was incapable of ;pceping through the blanket of the dark' upon his doings. He pretended to hug and hush a child in his arms, whose fretful whine he commenced and increased till it cut the drums of the other passengers cars like a razor. Two of these persons happened to be females, one of whom was a mother, and the otiier expected to be.. They instantly exclaimed, 'Dear me! there, a poor child on the roof, in this rain ; let us take it in."5 The males, as gentlemen and christians, were compelled to acquiesce;: so down went the sash, and out went a lady's head and shoulders to address Rossignolle. "Here, my good woman, give me the child P "No, no," said the latter, mimicking the voice of a female, "mine littlo dear Adolphinc shall not go from her mamma;'" and then he commenced another series of soprano notes, (interspersed with an abundance of bassd hush-a-bvest more intolerable than tli3

former. 4Kjood heavens P said the humane female to her companion; "its a barbarous Frenchwoman J Shell kill the poor little thing." Then leaning out of the window again! "Give-me the child, good woman, will you? it will catch it's death! Here, coachman, stop! stop V "Stop. Ma'am!" said Jehu,. "bless your soul! did you ever hear of such a thing in sich a rain as this? And if I did stop, the youngun on the dicky would frighten the cattle." Roignollc now protended'to get into a passion with the child and scold it';. at which the women opened upon, him; the gentlemen swore; and between the squalling, growling, screaming, and threatening, a dchghtful tumult endued. The ilialogue. as he described it, then ran in the following uvmiier: Child, squalling 'Ya, ya !'

Rossignolle 'I will trow vou into de mud !' Woman 'What docs she say?' Child 'Ya, ya, ya!' Rossignolle 'Wont you be hush? I trow vou away.' Woman 'Oh you wretch!' Child 'Ya, ya, ya!' Rossignolle 'Here den, cot dam! he in de poodle!' Ifpm suiting the action to the word, he made a noise as if he had actually deposited the infant in a ditch, the cries of which grew fainter as the coach passed on. The uproar that now ensued in the vehicle, would have done credit to a St. Giles's watch-house on St. Patrick's day. The women yelled and the men thumped the roof with thensticks, and swore out of the windows. -'Stop, coachman, stop! murder! murder! she's killed the child! she's thrown it into the ditch! will you stop, coachman ?' 'in three minutes Alarm,' lie replied, 'to change horses.' 'But there's a child lying on the road!' Til send some one from the inn to pick it up, Marm; I musn't lose time between the stages.' The torrent of abuse was now turned on the coachman; and one of ihe passenger?, who was a lawyer, swore that if the child died he would prosecute the former for manslaughter and the mother for murder. On arriving at the inn, Rossignolle jumped down, and ran into the kitchen to dry himself. The house was thrown instantly into confusion ; the French woman was ordered to be seized; lanterns lighted, and a party set oil" to retrace the road, headed by the humane lawyer. No infant, however, was to be found ; and after groping about till they were all thoroughly drenched, they returned to the inn. The lawyer was then told that the Frenchwoman had made her escape, and that anodic gentleman had taken her place in now out of sight. the coach, which was From the Camden Mail.. JOE BUNKER'S STORY. I kind a reckon none of you ever heard of Deby Snook, caze its a tarnation great secrete, and if her brother, Abe, was to ever know I told any tiling, or let that cat out of the bag, you sec it's jist as like as not he'd cut my sneezer, by hooky. Deby is a menstress nice gal, she's about as slick as an elephant's tusk, mind I tell you. I seed her at church one day fixed up kinder prettv snug so says I to myself, I reckon that amta slow kind of a bit of furnaturc, and darn my seal skin pumps, if I don't buck up to her next First-day she's a dreadful nice gal I tell you. Well I guess next First-day 1 was jist as slick as any chap you ever seed; I put on a spanking -new hat, brown coat, with a new pair of check pants, and slid into them are new seal skin pumps, what josh Wax made me out of dog skin, caze I sold him a painted cat skin for otter hide, I guess he dident get much cut of me, any hew. After church I got along side of Deby and ax'd her to take my arm; I reckon she did, a little too quck so on we walked. Says I, Deby, I've come to the termination of what I say she ; why of getting getting what ? says she. Darn my pumps if I could tell her what I ment, all the time, (between you and I, unkle Sam's pump nuzzle,) that I'd like to get married. Well we walked on a little further, and says I, Deby I mean . . i . TT T to sit up with you to night, now do you know ? says she. I reckon that kinder stuck me ; but 1 said, darn my pumps if I don't o on we walked till we came home. Her aunt was gone to bed, and she says, Mr. Bunker, sit down. Well you see I thought I would whilst she was gitting her lixups off, but as she passed me she took tli3 chair that was behind me into her room well feeling pretty kinder tired, I sot down by gum, Tf I dident sit plump cowallish right down on Dcbv's aunt's cat; I reckon 1 squashed her into a mashed hat in a little less than no time. Well you see I always was reckoned a pretty slick koonfor a trade, so I sliped the cat into my hat, and that arc cat skin brought me a little better than eight and two pence. In comes Deby, and I pulled her into my lap She kinder "figgitcd, but ye sec I knew that was the nature of the animal, and so I hung on. Well I reckon she set still arter a w hile, and I told her I had a kind of notion of having her. Well you sec that made her turn kinder red. and she says. aunt savs vou arc too wild. That roused me up a little, and I said, I guess your aunt aint much judge of goods. W ell then Deby tried to swoon, caze she heard the old woman coming like a streak of chalk. Joe, says she, you better go; well I reckon 1 had, siys I; so out of the window I jumpt where do you suppose I lit? on the ground? no, but right into the old woman's saft soap tub; I did by golly. I reckon I felt kind of nasty, I guess I did; I shouldent wonder if I got out a little in a hurry, and streaked it home a little loo quick, I reckon. AYcll, bless you, 1 lost nothing by it, I told my wash woman 1 should deduct ten cents, for mv clothes was already soaped, and she I said, she guessed I might. The next time I seed Deby, she said, if I ever told about coram c to see her, her brother would walk into me like a streak of grease, in less tlian no time.

From BhicJurooiVs Magazine1. SINGULAR CRIMINAL CASE. t the commencement of the lSth centuno torture was still in vogue in tiie rv, when.- v, fho arm of justice had north of Germa.., ud luHg been cornreached a robber, who i.. ""''ciiiitV of a mitting depreciations in tno . jnntence of deatu wa2J pronounced upon him, and on the 15th of August lS01,he was conducted to the place of execution, where the gibbet awaited him. The prisoner moved from the prison thro' the streets, which, as well as the doors and windows of the houses, were filled with spectators. The culprit, nothing daunted, made his salutations cn all sides; and in passing through a narrow street, he perceived a journeyman locksmith, whom lie had formerly known by name and reputation, looking out of a lower window. Moved by the sight, this man had drawn his attention by ejaculating, "I should like to know- how such a hardened sinner must feel under the gallows!" No Sooner had the criminal heard these words, than absorbed in thought, lie seemed to take no farther notice of the crowd which accompanied him, and with down cast looks pursued ins way out of the town gate. The clergyman who attcnded, and against whose exhortations he had hitherto obstinately closed his heart, conceived a better spirit had at length awoke in him, that he had repented of his misdeeds, and that it was now time to prepare him for eternity. The worthy divine, however, perceived but too soon that not another word was to be gained from him. All the pains he took proved in vain, so that on his arrival on the gallows, ho was compelled to deliver him up to the executioner, with these words: "I have done my duty; forgive him, O niy Saviour, and be merciful unto him! AmcnP The executioner was about to put the fatal cord around his neck; when he suddenly roused himself, and cried, "Stop! what have I hitherto thought myself bound to conceal, respecting my accomplices, I will now disclose to the judges, since I clearly see that there is no hope of pardon for me. Death dissolves all tics in this world, and before I leave it forever,-1 will rid it of one dangerous wretch." Tiie judge, who was present, and to whom this circumstance was immediately reported, approached the scaffold; and after he had heard the denunciation from the lips of the delinquent, the execution of the sentence was deferred and the criminal conducted hack to prison. Here he was anew examined the same day, and declared that. R. the locksmith, above mentioned, had been one of his most trusty accomplices, and been concerned with him in the perpetration of many robberies and murders. The man was forthwith apprehended, and as he persisted in the protestation of his innocence, he was confronted with the culprit. The precision with which the latter slated to the accused, time, place, and many other particulars, and the firmness with wnicn no iookcu mm in uiu wui:, tumpvw, disconcerted the poor fellow, and excited more and more the suspicion of the judges, which was farther strengthened by the consideration, tliat there was no imaginable motive which could have induced the criminal to prefer a false charge. The extreme dismay of the accused, was probably a principal circumstance in confirming the judges that the locksmith was really an accomplice of the convict. The judges, who were almost morally certain of the guilt of the accused, had the less hesitation to recur to the torture, for the purpose of wringing from him a confession. lie was delivered over the same night to the executioner: but unable to endure the torments of the internal contrivances, he declared befoio the expiration of the first quarter of an hour, that lie was guutv. iviier uus uinciuu, c"5 judges lost no time in pronouncing sentence, J J i ill .1.! which purported, that lie snouid suner tnc same fate as his accomplice; but as lie had performed only a subordinate part in the crimes which they had committed together, he should be executed first. Amid the tolling of the bells and crowds of spectators, the train once more proceeded to the place of execution, and having reached it, the executioner's assistants were about to throw the cord over the head of the supposed accomplice, when his accuser, who stood by, again cried as on the former occasion, '-StopP adding, i:I wish to speak once more to the judge,let me be conducted to him." The members of the trihunal being again assembled at the foot of the scaffold, the presiding judge ascended to hear what the delinquent had to say. In a loud voice that could be heard by the whole throng, he thus addressed him: '-This locksmith, sir, whom I accused, is perfectly innocent, and my charge against him was a false and malicious invention. You will no doubt be surprised and at a loss to conceive, what could have induced me, in the last moments of my life, to play such a trick- Learn, then, 1 nf'mv norm notices WOmiscd to rescue me from prison. As no attempt had been made when I stood here the first time, I could not help thinking that some unforeseen obstacle must have prevented them from keeping their promise, and that if I could but gain time, they might still carry, it into c fleet; for we keep our word to each other, even though the way of it3 fulfilment Lav through hell itself. In this conviction, I "bethought me,, on the morning, that I was brought hither, of means to de for tey execution. Among the tln neeasion, I crowd arawn together on nod this man at a window.

Now, however, I sec that I must not reckon any longer on my associates, being firmly convinced that they have sulVcrcd somewhere or other, the fate which here awaits me, I have therefore resolved to follow them, after doing this inquisitive fellow," pointing to the smith ''the favor to gratify his wish before my end: for now he knows by experience how'a man cls irhcn he Hands beneath the "allows r r ,, mounted the hdderand snhmirtrd quietly to his iate '-'0 innocent locksmith "paid dearlv loi the loud utterance of his harmless wish.

The whole scene was so indiscribably ludicrous, that, for the first time in the pulpit, an involuntary smile forced itself upon the countenance of the preacher. The unexpected intrusion of so unpalatablo a mouthful, awoke the sleeper, and he was never known to indulge in that practice afterwards. Old Tlicy.
