JOSEPH FTJSSF.LL, No. 2, North Fourth Street, Philadelphia. A FREE AND EASY PLACE FOR PRISONERS. — Luke Nolan, ol Ulica, N. Y., lias for nearly a week been on trial, on a charge of larceny.— On the 12th instant, about noon, the Utica Herald says, thejudge charged the jury, and they retired to deliberate, when one of the most extraordinary escapes we have ever heard of took place. During the momentary confusion in the court, occasioned by the close of the trial, and the jury leaving the room, the prisoner, who sat within the bar, arose and walked out of the Court room. The constable very politely opened the door, and the criminal walked out nobody saying a word ! He passed down stairs into the street, and went—nobody knows where. Several ol the city officers were called to the service, and were making an industrious but fruitless search at last accounts. Altogether this is the joke of the season.— Imagine a criminal sitting but a few feet fiotn the Sheriff, surrounded by constables, walking leliberalely out of the court room while the jury are deliberating upon his case, and that, too, under the very eye of a justice on the bench ? We understand that the jury, alter being out five minutes, found the prisoner guilty. On their return they could not render their verdict, of course, as the law requires the prisoner to be present, and they were discharged from the further consideration of the case. K7-A BUTCHER'S SHOP IN PARIS.—A consid erable crowd some few days back, presssed round a new butcher's esteblishment at the corner of the Rue Tronchet and the Rue Neuve des-Methurms. Upwards of thirty metres in length, it is entirely filled up with white marble on supports of porphyry. The counter is also of white marble on silver cary atidi-s. A fountain of water six feet in diameter, plavs in the centre of the shop, and vases of flowers and shrubs are disposed about with a certain degree of taste. Thirty-nine persons are employed in the establishment, which offers each morning for saie 20 oxen, 20 calves, and 60 sheep. The great novel feature of this establishment is that, while professing to sell cheaper than any other shoo in Paris, it delivers with each parcel of meat a ticket which entitles the buyer to a share in the profits at the end of the month. It is reported that thrifty fathers of families are now forcing their appetites to eat enormous quantities of meat in the idea that they are thereby laying up portions for their daughters. stand up !

CG*"No paper discontinued until all arrearages are paiatof oet-wvai who nan tle manliness to denounce the disorganizes to tlieir teeth. But Mr. Kerr accomplised one object at least, and that was to cut loose from tile parasites, and to shew his contempt lor both the men and the movement. Mr. Kerr told them he would support the candidates nominated by the legally constituted Convention of the 16th of March; whilst the parasites, bv theii resolutions, solemnly resol ved they would not. Who can doubt for a moment now, that the object of this Mass Mee ting was not to disorganize the party, and to declare war to the knife against its organization and its candidates ? The men who can doubt, after til is un-qui vocal and shameless audacity, would not believe "though one rose from the dead" and proclaimed it on the house-tops. Since writing the above, we received the following communication from Mr. Kerr.— II irrisburg Union. To the Editors of the Patriot and Union : GENTLEMEN :—Tfie published proceedings in your paper does me injustice. The tempora ry Chairman I consider honest enough to se lect officers, but in no instance or in no way, have I ever acted or sanctioned opposition to the regularly nominated candidates. I regaid it the duty ol all Democrats to support the nominees of the March Convention. I was willing that Governor Packer's ad ministration should be fully endorsed. But fur tlietr ban that 1 could not act with the destruc tive spirits who met to spit out their venom on the PiesiJetit. The address and resolutions are of such a nature that I could not sanction. Had the President Mr. McKinney not ruled me out of order, at the bidding of Mr. Forney, 1 would have shown that their aim was the destruction of the partv. Men who are drifting into the vortex of our enemies cannot teach me lessons. There was nothing left for me to do but to vote against their proceedings and withdraw my name from their Convention. Democrats, who have not been disappointed, will act with their usual integrity by sustain ing the ticket of the regular Convention. I will here remark that I ain under uo per sonal obligations to President Buchanan or Governor Packer. I have sustained them be cause the Democracy placed them in power— disregarding petty malice from interested sources. Truly &.C., STATE HOUSE, April 14th. R. H. KEP.R. No hope for Pri.nltrs. When Dr. Franklin's mother-in-law first discovered that the young man had a hanker ing for her daughter, that good old lady said she did not know so well about giving her daughter to a printer; there was already two printing offices in the United Slates and she wasn't certain the country would support them. It was plain young Franklin would depend for his support upon the profits of a third, and tnis was rather a doubtful case. If such an objec tion was urged to a would-be son-in-law when there were but two printing offices in the U nited States, how can a printer hope to get a wife now, when the Dresent census shows the number to be 15,067. [CF"The worst kind ot fare for a man to live on is wat-fare. Andrew Jackson. The following anecdotes of this stern, brave, sell-reliant hero, are from the New York Cen tury. We know they will be perused with j interest : J The first extract shows how the noble old chief dealt with difficulties with other nations : ! The French Government, it will be remem ' bered, alter agreeing to pay twenty-five mil lions of francs to the United States'as an in demnity for aggression on our commerce, failed to perform its engagements. General Jackson, _jn tjis message of 1821, denounced their course, and called upon Congress to' stand by him in an unflinching demand for the performance of the treaty by which the indemnity was esta blished. The French Government then made appropriations for the payment of the money, but took offence at the tone of the message, and demanded an apology or explanation. The situation was serious. The money was ready to be paid, and the only prerequisite was a gracelul gloss in the next annual message to the straight forward, downright tone of that which had preceeded it. The Cabinet met and de liberated; the draft of the new message was laid before them; the French question was ta ken up in its order, and there was somed'scus sion among the Secretaries. While they delib erate, their Chief seized his pen and wrote a single sentence, condensed as a cartrjd'e, solid as a cannon ball, pointed as a bavorief— "T/ie honor of vty country shall never be s/.tin ed by any apology from me for the statement of truth and performance of duty ." This en ded the debate. The sequel is well known; th" indemnity was paid, and amicably paid. The Century relates the incident of* the at tempt to assassinate the old warrior while he was standing on the portico of the Capitol at Washington, and then gives us this amusing re miniscence : More ludicrous than this was an attack that never was made, the story of which the Gene ral used to tell with a keen relish of its humor. A certain .Mississippi politician, of some note, opposed him bitterly before and alter his elec tion to the Presidency. During the former period Genual Jackson had, in some public speech or remark, expressed his opinions ol this gentleman, in very strong Saxon: the in dignant politician vowed vengeance, gave out that he meant to chastise the General the next time he met him, published his intentions with such assiduity, that the threat reached the Hermitage and- of the subject of the rned-tated chastisement.

The quick eye of the old sol dier detected on the back seat his pugnacious id versary. The General drew himself up, and ;tood conspicuous in the doorway, awaiting the promised attack. The passengers descended, arte by one, but when it came to our Mississip oian, strange to say. he kept his seat, declined jetting out, and was driven to the stables, where tie quietly remained until the hour tor depar ;ure, sending into the tavern by one of the host ers fora julep, with which he regaled himself it a safe distance from clanger. W r e have room for only another : The spirit which we associate with the age >t chivalry is reproduced in all brave men.— lackson prided himself on his loyal devotion to he fair sex. No hostilities or rivalries, military or political, interfered with its dis play. Mr. Clay's speech on the Seminole war, ielivered in the House ol Representatives in the winter 1819, denouncing, as a flagrant instance if military insubordination, created a wide ireach and very Litter feeling between thein. The General was afterwards on his way to Washington, to take his seat in the Senate of United States, and happening to pass Mr. Clay's aouse, he was asked by one of his companions f he had any objections to stop and pay a visit 0 Mrs. Clay. His prompt reply was "No. I lave no quarrels with the ladies," and he lccordintjly alighted at the door and paid his respects to the wife of the most'pmmineut of his apponenfs and the most powerful of his de nunciators. Devotion Helps Intellect. AUk nowledge relates more or less directly to the character and works of God. All the sciences are developments of his attributes.— Astronomy, mathematics, natural and mental philosophy, Soc., are but so many ways in which the laws ot God's great empire is made known to us. The child at school learning the simplest combination of numbers, and the philosopher who soars to the sublimest height 01 science, are alike conversant with the works ol God. The intellect of the one may be to the other as half a dozen rays to the full beams ofthesun ; but yet, it is what God is, or what God has done, that occupies the attention of both. Now, as it is God's works that occupy the intellectual powers, so it is most reasonable to suppose that those who come to the study of these works, or, in other words, engage in any intellectual pursuits, if they bring a right state of heart towards God, will enjoy peculiar advantages tor success. The mind, being in happy harmony with Him will move with vigor and power. A cheering sense ol his favor will animate it. Each intellectual attainment, is a new discovery of a Being chosen already as the heart's ideal of supreme goood; it is the perception ol'some new andlove ly feature in the face of a friend. "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." son ol Erin, while hunting rabbits came across a jackass in the woods, and shot htm, "By mv sowl and St. Patrick ! I've kilt I the father of all rabbits !" exclaimed he. WHOLE \mi)ER 3847.

DEATH OF THE OLDEST MAN IN PENNSYLVA NIA.—We learn from an exchange that Mr. Timothy Sweeney, died in Fairview township, Butler county, recently, at the advanced age of one hundred and twenty-two years. The deceased was born in the year 1737, in Cara tian, parish of Ardfeit, county of Kerry, Ire land, and emigrated to this country in 1837, being then one hundred years old. He was never known to have an houi's sickness even up to the day of his death, but was always re markably stout and healthy, having the full use ol all his faculties to the last, with a delicacy ol hearing and a quickness of perception that werereally miraculous in one who had journey ed so far beyond the allotted bounds of eaitbiy existence.

Mr. Forney is holding a convention on his own account in Pennsylvania, I assisted by sore-headed Mr. Hickman, and sun dry Black Republicans; and, strange to say, neither Forney nor any of his followers s.*em to be suited with "the Administration."
