The king, after having previously investigated the" matter, and found Hejec guilty of the most savage crimes, ordered him to be exposed on the rack, and the severest torture inflicted on him. He accordingly suffered the utmost rigour of the law; his beard was shaved without water, and with a blunt raz.T, his nose was slit open, and a black cord passed through it; he was placed on an ass, holding the tail, and carried through all the bazaars, amidst the ridicule of the spectators: he underwent the severe punishment of the bastinado on the main road Ghaysery,his eyes were plucked out, his ears cut off, his body was branded with red-hot iron, and he was compelled to eat his own ordure."

From the Natiannl Journal. PERSIA. The following isan instance of the ciuel oppressions practised under a despotic government, and the summary justice which sometimes overtakes them. A communication from Persia states the partic ulars ofan attrocious murder at Ispahan. The deed was committed on the body of Simon H vrapiet, a respectable American, by the orders of llajee Hashim Khan, the? Chief of a tribe of Shirhohccs. The scene of the outrage was the convent of Julpha, one of the suburbs of Ispahan. Mr. Ilvrapiet was first seized by the servants of the Kaluu and forcibly tied up at the gate of the Convent. The Bishop of the religious establishment solicited pardon in vain; he and the other clergy being driven back into the Church, nhile the !.aphs victim was Mint with a muket. The head was thrown into a pit, and the bodv mu'ilated. The following is an ex had of a letter alluding to this attrocity : "1 am hripp) to send you the intelligent o of the an ival of the king of Persia t I-pahan. Mis majesty entered the city with great honors, and visited Julpha on

In making out the above, a number ofarticlcs, forming small sums, such as oats, flaxseed, hoop poles, &x. were omitted, but which, in the aggregate, would amount to 0 or $7,000. The price set to each article is what is supposed the average price
received for it, when taken to market: some of which are probably put at under
prices; none, we believe, too high. To carrv this produce to market, some
thing like twenty flat boats were employed,
at an average price of one hundred dollars each. These boats were generally built by our own citizens; and the hands employed to navigate them, resided principally in the county : so that the greater part of the money expended for the exportation, was put in circulation in the county, among our industrious and enterprising citizens.

Hayti. Since our last, says the Maine Intelligencer, we have seen other letters from Hayti, which lessen, in no degree, the dark-coloured picture, wc then drew, of Haytien affairs. The letters state, that nothing but the personal influence at Geir. M aguy who commands in the Norths has prevented the blacks from breaking 0,1, in open rebellion, against the government, and seizing the property, if not sacrificing the lives of the whites and mulattoes.

We remark the -following passlpj'ih the number of thrEdtntjurcb Revtiw (6s) last received: ' ' " "We have, the strongest grounds for concluding, that the population of Ireland has doubled in the last 30 years; and we must believe farther, that it is, at this moment, increasing at the same rate. If the seven millions of IrUh of 1821, shall become fourteen millions in 1851, while the population of Ei;tondi doubles only in eighty years, that oflreland willbe-nearly equal in 1851. Lcoking at this quciiian as its affects the lower orders of Ireland, it pre seats nothing but what is most gloomy and terrific: for in place of any prospect of their condition becoming better, it seems manifestly tending to become worse." Two sorts of blessings. "It is a great blessing to possess what one wishes," said some one to an ancient philosopher, who replied, "It is a greater blessing, still, not to desire what one does not possess."

The rieh and poor. The rich have the most meat; the poor have the bestapetite. The rich lay the softest; the poor sleep the soundest.; The poor have health; the rich have delicacies. The rich hangthemelves through fear of poverty; the poor, (such as have always been poor,) laugh and sing, and love their wives tdo well to put their necks into the noose. Justice Abbott lately decided, in the Court of King's Bench, that a tenant hr.3 no right to remove trees aqd shrubbery planted by himself on the premises which he occupies. JVat. Journal. Lawrexcebcrgh, July 1. Dark Business. On yesterday evening, as c ur citizens were rctireing to bed, a tremendous cry of Murder, Murder! 7aa heard, and a man seen running up High street like a fury, with a rope attached to one of his arms. A number of the citizens immediately collected to inquire the cause of the disturbance, when it was found to proceed from a black man. When interrogated, he stated that he had been confined in Mr. Charles L. Brasher's Hatter shop in this town, from the middle of the afternoon, till that time, 10 o'clock; that Benjamin and George Brasher, and John T. Bishop, hall visited him through the afternoon, and told him they were going to take him into Kentuckv to his master;
that they would start at night and travel till morning; and that they knew his master, and he should own one in Kentucky. To all this he was to nod amen, or fare worse. . The above is the substance of the negro's story, in relation to the men before named; and whether true or false, it is strongly coroboratcd by circumstances. At all events.thereisno doubt about the negro's having been tied by some person and beaten to make him keep quiet. The negro states he is Tree; came from Virginia: and that his name is Andrcvr Shields. It is of no consequence whether this is true or false, our laws define the mode of reclaiming slaves, which is simple and easy to understand; and any person who shall take any human being out of the state, bv force or otherwise, without con?, forming to them, ought to suffer to the estent of the law' Tor kidnapping. We arc sorry that circumstances should require such an article from us; but so it is, and duty says it is right. fnd. Palladium. PRODUCE.
