SHAME.

The folijoinccl report i from the Journal of Commerce: fear of the Xcwspapert'.A laughable" il luitration of how much uewFpaper notoriety i dreaded, by the most dissolute character, oc curred at the pohec office on Saturday evtrmg.i

A little greyneaucu oiu woman, appaiei.eu mlllllch bruisi, her frkull I

the most wretched rags, and whose appearance wat altogether the ery jieronihclion of poverty and drunkenness, was brought up by one of the city marshal', for having committed some misdemeanor in the street. The magiittate ha vtng heard the olliceT's complaint, took up a commitment to tend her to prison, and asked her her name in order to fill it up. For lome time she made no answer, until after being ask ed her name everal times, she at lat, with much seeming reluctance, said that it wat Mary Somtrs. Magistrate Is that your real name? Prisoner No sir. Magistrate Wht i it then? Prisoner Ann Simmons, sir. Magistrate Is this your real name? Ptisoner No sir. Magistrate My good woman, do not be trifling with me; tell your real name? Priioner Ye? sir. Magiftrate What is it? Prisoner Marv O'Connor. Magistrate Is that your real name? Prisoner No sir. Magistrate Will you or will you not tell me your real name? Prisoner Yes sir. Magistrate What is it? Prisoner Judy Fitzsimmons. Magistrate Well, I suppose I have journamr at hst? Prisoner No sir. Magistrate What do you mean by such conduct? Prisoner Why, sir, I am afraid that if I give my real name, it will be put into the news: i per. As the magistrate could not get her to tell her real name, he was obliged to commit the as Mrs. , and she went off to piison compara lively contented, as she knew her name could not be put into the newspapers." And let no one think lightly of the objections of Mrs. ; there is hope of her while one park of shame, one remnant of regard for public estimation, one little grain of early feeling, not to say principle, is left there is hope. Af fectionate attention, wholesale dicipline. careful seclusion and religious aid, might save the wo man who though smitten with drunkenness and consequent squallid poverty, yet has sensitive nes enough to startle at the public registration of her nrme amonj the outcast dissolute. This is the ground of the hope, that though the root wax old in the earth, and the stock die in the gronnd, at the scent of water it will bud. But where are they w ho, for the love of virtue and the soul of this almost abandoned one, will min ister to her in prison, and fan within her bosom the last dimming spark that gleams in the ashes of her principles? U. S. Gazette Painting on glass. A Brussels paper mentions the discovery of a manuscript bearing the date of lo'J7, which explain the ancient method of extracting colors from metals, min erals, herbs, and flowers, for the purpose of painting on glass. It also shows the manner in which those colors are to be applied, and describes the way in which the glass, destined to receive the colors is to be prepared. The discovery of this process is of some interest; for, after all the modern discoveries in chem istry, there are colors to he found in ancient stained glass, which we cannot approach. Inoculating Cheese. -What will the ingenui ty of man contrive? A method has been dis covered of inoculating cheese, or in other words, of transplanting the character of an old cheese into a new one. I his rather cun o is scheme is brought forward as a communica ion to the Agricultural Journal for March, by John Kobinson, L;q. Secretary of the Roy at Society of Edinburgh. u If it he required,' says he, " to communicate to a new cheese the flavor and appearance of an old, it may be done by the insertion in the new chesee of portions of the old one containing blue mold. Tnc little scoup which is used in taking sam pies of cheese is a ready made means of performing the operation, by interchanging ten or a dozen rolls which it extracts, and placing them so as to disseminate the gerrnofthe blue mould all over the cheese. A new Stilton cheese treated in this way, and well covered vtp Irom the air for or a few weeks, will become egnated with the mould, and thoroughly imDrcL'natei! generally with a flavor hardly to bedistinguishcd from the old. I have somlimes treated half a Lancas shire cheese in this way, and have half in Us natural state, and have left the other h been much amused with the remarks of my friends on the striking superioity of the Eng lish over the Scotch one." If the ingenious plan be found really successful on repeated trials by others, Mr. Kobinson will derserve tmr thanks for bringing it forward. New pout, (Indiana) Sth mo 1831. East evening between eight and nine o' clock, we were called upon to witness the most appalling scene that ever occurred with in my knowledge. A stroke ol lightning fell on the house occupied by Jchtel Hull (brick i 4l., C f i . m;iM-i j luiriuii nooi x.iiu.iiuiaii, wnose wite lay sick of a fever, and many of the citizens were there waiting to see her expire; and painful to relate, the electric fluid struck two of the number down to rise no more; and in tomething Ices than an hour, J.

I hare this instant heard that Jack Brigg's negroes have refused to work this morning, and that he has been obliged (o send for Colonel Bush. There have been serious disturbances in Demarara, Trindad, and I may say in every other Island. Gilbert arrived yesterday, and when he left on the 11th the negroes on the west coast of Esseqnibo were almost in a state of open rebellion, insomuch that the Governor had been obliged to go down witii a grenadier company -.of 00 men. Melancholy death. The dead body of a man was lately found about ten miles south of rort Wyne, Indiana, w hich is supposed to have been in the same situation several several weeks. It was in such a state of decomposition that it could not be recognised: but il appeared to have been that of a man aboi.t SO years of age, and 5 feet 7 inches high. He had on a pair ofjeans pan taloons, and striped ewtnsdown vest; no papers of any descnption nor any money found about hnn. One of the nuors.at the inouest held o ver him, recognized the pantaloon as a pair he bad sold to a stranger some months ago. It is conjectured that the unfortunate man had fallen sick while travelling, and left the road in search of water, and had probably lit.gcied in the place where he was found, for two or three days before death put an end to his sufferings: the bushes, in two or three places, were twisted and tied together, so as to form a screen or shel ter, which it is probable be had done to shield himself from the rays of the sun. iOTICI?9 To the heirs and legal rc-rcscntalhcs of HiinniHaskell, deceased, late of Craig township, Switzerland county, state of Indiana, and to all other persons interested.

Under this title, .Mr. William Pearson of this city has commenced an enterprise which we really think deserving of great success. It is n publication which in the shape of a quarto newspaper cr magazine, is intended to furnish the public with a copy of a great number of the most approved and elegant works of English literature. The publication contains 1G pages quarto, and is somewhat larger than the London Weekly Magazine 'I ho paper on whicli it is printed is not merely beautiful to the eye, but is of the very best quality, and sized, so that one may write on it without blotting. The typography is at once neat and legible, and the whole style of the execution has far more the appea ranee of London than New York. To show the reader at what a cheap rale, a library may be procurred through the means of this publication, we may mention I fiat the first number contains the whole of Makcnzies Man of Feeling, a fourth part of Gold smiths Vicar of Wakefield ; f ir all of which the price is sixpence. From what we know respecting ihis novel and laudable euteprise, we have tiic ricatest confidence that the selection of works f r the 15i:rrnLic of Letters will always be submitted to the decision of gentlemen of such standing in literature, as to ensure that only the worthiest productions will find a place in it. Evening Post. We have intended, as each succcessive number appeared, to notice this judicious publication. To those who are not appused of the plan upon w birh it is conducted, it is merly necessary to ob:stvo, 'ht it is a weekly issue of a beauiifully ;i il.' d tpiarto sheet at six cents a number, each iii!.:r. r containing one or m re octavo volumes. tt in n it is added that ' The Man of Feeling,' and The Vicar of Wakefield,' two of the finest clas sics in our language, may thus le bad lor Izi cents, it will be seen, that both from thetruetaste nd the liberality with which it is conducted, there can be no publication whicli promises belter to diffuse abroad a knowledge of the models of olite literature than the Republic of t otters. The last number published contains ' The Tales of the Hall,' by Crabbe, one of the most vigorous of modern writers. His style, indeed though stri kingly original, is often overdone; and his sub jects are of so coarse a character as frequently to leave a harsh and unpleasant impression upon the reader, but there is ever n troth to nature in her humblest guise, which renders his minute delin eations and skilful oi.ssiclions of character inval uable. " Yr?r York American. " We have before us the first numbers of the Republic of Letters, a publication of the design and scope of which the reader may remember we took some notice several weeks ago. In these three numbers, each of sixteen small quarto pages, are contained the whole of Makenzie's Man of Peeling, the whole of the Vicar of Wakefield, and more than half of Crabbe's best work, iho Pales of the Hall. These works in the ordinary hape, occupy four or five duodecimo voluums, and could not be procured at from less than three to five dollars. In the Ileoublic of Letters they occupy three numbeis of a paper the size of th;s journal, as folded lor delivery, and arc old at the prodigious low price of eighteen cents. This making literature cheap indeed, and depriving poverty of all excuse for ignorance. And let it not be supposed that this extraordinary cheapness is ittained bv printing the work on poor materials. On the contrary, the t j pograpl.y is uncommonly icautiful, and the paper is of a quality much su perior to what is commonly used in book printing, even the best Boston editions. It is as white as snow, is composed either wholly, or in great part. of linen and may be written upon as smo'hlv md fluently as the sheet on which we are iodising ibis article, which is on Gibiin's besi." Eveniii" Vo.st. " A weekly publication, bearing to the above 'itlcs, has been undeitaken by Mr Pearson. I he design of the work is to place in I ho hands if all the old si ind.ird works', which are now gen erally leierit-d tons the acme? of polite literature; a course of feuding, parlicolaily followed by those desiious of inoulcatiiif; a correct taste. The un dertaking is desirous of inculcating a corrrect tas'.e. The undertaking is deserving, arid should meet with a liberal patronage. Each number contains 1(5 pages of closely printed mailer; the typographical execution of hich is unsurpassed ; ho oiice is only sixpence being by far the cheapest, as well as most useful publication that baryet appeared. The present ni.mber contains Rlakcr z'e's M in of Fcolinjj, and part of Gold.-milh's Vicar of Wakefield." Evening Star. 'Under this tide, Mr. William Pearson has commenced a weekly Periodical, which is certainly the cheapest that ever oamo to our notice. It i-i intended to embrace only s'nndaid works. IThe first number contains iMakcnzie's Mm of jio tbe English language, and c st but three dollars. The piper and typography arc besides cxccreni." Courier and Enquirer.
