' , Sunbury, April 8, 1818 jm ."! i A CLERGYMAN TAKEN lit AND DONfi FOR The boat from Albany 'landed r6n ilie pir,"Iast Tuesda hiorhin,' an Jiinocent, unsophisticated clergyman from the Western part of the State, Svho had never been in this city before, and of course knew nothing of the vicious habits of . the 'elephant.?,.'. The clergyman stood on the pier, with his carpet bag in his hand, and a wondrous expression on his mild countenance,' When he was es- !)ied by a Jehu, who was on the look out bf a fare.- " ' r ' ; - ''.-.Si (..;! . 'Cokh, sir V says Jehu, touching his hat respectfully, and looking demurely. H . .: ies, my menu,' ine clergy map replied, . wakjfjg(,sv4ddenly, from his reverie,. 'Jt d5 want a c'oftdi,'' : '. A All tight, sir, come this way," and Jehu s-.-iZCP i"c C&rpet , bag, to which its owner clung and was aliased through' the crowd to a rickety old machine,' which the driver called a coach." " ' ! ' ' ! 'Where toj sir "T says Jehu." ' 1 ' ' J 'To any respectable public house -1 am a stranger here.' !i : . ji . ; , ; I'll cary you to the best one in town the hotel where rooms have been taken for the King of France. .. ,. : Bless me,' said the clergyman, 'is the ex King of France coming over T -I didn't hear of that.'., . r 'Expected next steamer, sir who would have been here before, only he waited to see if the Queen of England wouldn't want to come alon too.' . : Ah,' said the clergyman, we live in ex citing times.' 1 .' We don't do anything else, sir,' res ponded Jehu, as he jumped on the box and applied the whip to his miserable nags. To what den of thieves the rascally coach man carried our country friend, we cannot say, since the victim was unable to describe the place or its locality to the police. But it was opposite a dity looking building, that he was put down by the driver, who then demanded three dollars fare. Three dollars." exclaimed the good cler gyman, why, a neighbor of mine said that the rates were fixed by law, and that I would have to pay only three shillings to ride a mile in the city.' ..,,... O, that was before the news of the French revolution came ; wages have riz since then, and the law now is for every man to get as much as he can, and keep all he gets, and we go in for that law we do., 'But, my friend, if I had known that you would have demanded so much, I should have walked.' 'Taint safe for strangers to walk in the city ten to one they'll meet the elephant.' Mi'et the elephant I dont understand you.' ; By this time, according to the clergy man's account, the knave, must have tired of fooling with his victim, for he answered saucily 'I cant stop to talk with you pay me my three dollars and let me go.' The country gentleman, unsuspicious an hour before of such tricks, yet felt that he was being cheated, and mildly declined to pay the money. ' Then you must go before a magistrate,' cried Jehu in a rage. Willingly and if the magistrate says that your charge is right, I will pay it.' 'Better pay it now and save the costs of courts.' . 'The costs of court ! will a justice of the peace charge anything for answering a sin gle question I 'A single question : 11 you eo to law with mt we,n have a regular trial, accord ins to the new constitution ; I'll have a ju ry of twelve men, if they can be got, or six any how,' answered the hackman. The clergyman endeavored to compro mise with the Jehu, but a new idea had en tered into the rascal's head, and he now not only demanded three dollars fare, but extra pay for the delay. The victim con cluded to see the magistrate, and he re-entered the hack and was driven off, where he could not tell ; but his description of the scene which followed was ludicrous e nough. . , . i I was introduced to the magistrate, who shook hands with me, asked the hackman what was the nature of the charge, and shook his head when told that 1 would not pay three dollars for riding from the steam boat to the hotel. I asked him if the charge was iust? He said that the new law was not clear to his apprehension, and that a ju ry must decide the matter ; and he thanked God that under the new constitution the iurv were iudsres of the law and the fact. and he did'nt care a a n lor an me oencn es in the Supreme Courtthen he walked away with the drivelS aW tald me that I must consider myself a prisoner -anui nne case was adiudicated.i I asked him for my carpet bag; .

Finally the case was giren to the jury a ter a very long charge from the judge, in which he said that whatever might be their verdict, they must remember that I was a clergyman who- had heretofore borne an excellent character, and that J was entitled to the benefit of a doubt, if there was such a thing In the case, which he felt obliged to say he doubted.' However,1 he referred thein to the new constitution, and 'the whole duty of man' an excellent work as .J knew, Sua then sent tnem out for consultatipnrr-' It was afternoon when the jury -borne in with a verdict for the plaintiff.

I was then allowed to depart, the court given me an order on the chief of police for my carpet bag.' " This was the story of the country cler gyman, related with child like simplicity at the chiefs office, where he presented the order for his bag, and was informed that he had been grossly imposed upon. The knaves into whose hands he fell had amused themselves, for nearly an entire day, with their victim, before they plucked him. V. Despatch. . SYNOPSIS OF ASTOR'S W ILL. BEQUESTS. . t .;.

Improvement on Faber'm , , j t,)t i b In- ' The celebrated speaking figure of Faber exhibited In Philadelphia mdre than a year ago, as, it appear) been improved upon oy Dr. Lube, of Angsbnrg Germany. A German paper Jhos describes it: I ''. ! c.n-w. ; This wonderful Automaton is the invention of our ingenious townsman, Dr. Lube, who kindly admitted us to his laboratory, to wit ness its extraordinary feats..;. When we' en tered, the Doctor was seated at a sort of cabi net, having a kev-board, some whit Wmflar to that Of a' piano forte,' arranged o.i one side of it ' and nearly in the centre of thet room sat a fashionably dressed gentleman, who rose and bowed as we entered. Our salutations wiih the' Doctor Tjeing Wer,"!he 5ntrbijuc9c the gentleman to us as Sir. Eisenbrass, who po-1 litely wished us "good morning," and re mained standing unlll we were seated, then 1 quietly Sank into a seat him'self, '. At first our conversation was upon ' the or dinary topics of the day 1VIr. Eisenbrass ' joining in with an occasional remark, but to which the - Doctor paid little attention, and kept amusing himself with the keys of the instrument at which ho was seated, yet without producing any sound. This surprised us, and we observed to the Doctor, "that his instrument did not seem inclined to be musi cal this morning." This brought a laugh from the Doctor, which was immediately echoed by his friend in such an unearthly and comical manner, that we could not refrain from laughing also although we felt that it was at our own expense, ; i As soon as we became a little calm, the Doctor rose from his sent, and tuking us kind ly by the hand, said :, "Pardon me, my dear j friend, for having played an innocent prank upon you. Mr. Eisenbrass is the Automation I invited you here to see ; and being the first who has seen it, I could not resist a sort of paternal desire of showing it off, as foud parents always do their first-born children." '. We looked at the Doctor then at Mr. Ei senbrass, and again at the Doctor, to see If h was quizzing us There sat Mr. E. im moveable, with his eyes fixed upon the floor, hile the Doctor seemed bursting with de light. ' We looked again, "I see," said he, "you are incredulous ; let mo convince you" and seating himself on the instalment again, and touching the keys, Mr. E. immediately, be en in 3 animated, ami luugUod and talked quite fluently. We now observed quite a thick buudlc of line covered wire extending from the cabinet to the chair of Mr. Eisenbrass. The Doctor then ro.se and explained the whole affair to us. When Professor Fuber completed his speaking automation, (a par ticular account of which we gave a year or two since,) Dr. Lube conceived the idea of constructing an artificial man, and placing within it a modification of the apparatus of Professor Faber, to be operated by voltaic electricity ; but intended " to imitate to a greater extent the power of speech than the Professor had done. The idea onco concei ved, was immediately acted upon. :Tke bones of a human subject were procured, aud cloth- id with a complete muscular system, com posed of vulcanized caoutchouc. The con- sumate anatomical knowledge of Dr. Lube enabled him to do this with great success ; at the same time adding a perfect system of nerves made of line platinum, .wjrp, covered with silk. It is undoubtedly-know n to most of our readers that the muscles of animals act by an enlargement or contraction in the middle, produced by the will acting through the nertesi . . , ' ' These efforts were imitated, by placing in the centre of each musio electric magnet, witkLdelicate machinery attached, to beAvork ed :by galvanic currents through the platinum wires or nerves, which were connected with the battery, and the key board tf the instru ment above referred to. So all that was ne. cessary to produce a certain action in the figure, or make it give forth particular sounds was to1 touch the required key os in certain descriptions of telegraphs, and the required result was sure to follow. As a matter of course, the accomplishment ot all this was a thing of no. small difficulty, and ordinary minds would have shrunk from it. - But Dr. Lube, with a zeal and perservance worthy of all imitation, has mastered every obstacle, and produced a work that will place bis name far up on the scroll of Fame. t - ' ' ' ' ? -f " A Alphabet or Shobt Rules Well worth Remtmbrin' --Mleni well to your business.

TRIAL OT GENERAL PILLOW. ; , "H The New Orleans Delta contains a full re port ot the trial of Gen. Pillow, up to April 13th, the twenty-fifth 'day of the session of the court. The whole eVidence1, in its pres ent stage, is to prove that General Pillow does not deserve the credit of planning the battle of Contreras. The details are too long for the crowded state of our colums and We therefore give a synopsis, embracing some of the points of interest : r ' ''Captain Taylor's testimony was very clear, ly against the claim of Gen. Pillow, of having planned the battle of Contreras. ' He says, "I asked him ihe night before the battle how things looked. He replied badly. He said the position was very strong, too strong to be attacked, and that he was going to report that fact to Gen Scott, . ady'sieTg him to leave it, and get in tna'rcar of San Antonio." Ra ther a strange opinion Tor one who had plan ned the attack Lieut. Beauregard testifiedhal, in a , con: sulfation of general and stitfT officer, at Tie dad, Gen Scort. expressed a decided .prefer ence for attacking Chapultepec, iii preference to the Gurita of San Autonia, but that Con. Pillow preferred un attack on the latter, al though on the evening before he had said to him that the time for attacking the latter had passed. John H Peoples, of the American Star, gave some details of a conversation betweeti himself aud Gen. Pillow, in reference to Mr People's previous notice of intention to pub lish the Leonidas letter, with such comments as he thought it deserved. Gen. Pillow said to him You must recollect, as I said before, that I never forget my frieuds nor forgive my ene mies. At that time the late Capt. Smith, 3d Infantry, came in, and the conversation stop ped. After Capt. Smith had left the room, I asked Gen. Pillow if he would allow me to take that letter which he hud addressed, but not sent to me, that ho could shape a contra diction, as he authorised, from. He reminded me again, when I got up to leave the room) that he was Becond in command, and if Gen. Scott should go home, or anything were to happen him, he then would take command of the army. . The substance of Lieut. Tilton's testimony is comprised in the following paragraph : On or about the 22d of Sept., I, together with another officer, paid a visit of ceremony to Gen. Pillow. Upon that occasion, the con vejsation turned upon the battles preceding our entrance into the city. Major OenT Pil low stated to us that the battle of Molino del Rey was au unfortunate affair ; ho informed us that he hud lost 860 men, which loss we (meaning the general officers) sedulously con cealed from the army, lest it might have a dispiriting effect on the men, and that Gen. Scott was stunned or paralysed by this loss ; and consequently, upon himself as second in command, devolved the subsequent move, meuts or words to that eflect : I do not re collect exactly the words used. I . was also given to understand at the same lime, ..by Gen. Pillow, that the conception, as well as the execution, of the assault upon Chapulte pec, originated with himself. With the ex ception of some personal compliments on our sejvej and the Voliigeur regiment, .that was; I believe, the substance of the conversation Mr. Trist thus runs a tristful thrust at Gen. P:e claims to the honors of the victory of the 20th August. They had been in Gen. Scott's room on the night of the 19th, engaged in consultation respecting; the contemplated bat tie of the morrow. Mr. T. says: The company dropped off until at a very late hour of the night, when preparations were made y Gen; Scott to go to bed, and he had a bed made in his room also for Gen Pillow. Upon leaving the room to go to my own, Gen i Pillow followed me, and went with me to my room. He then, in a very solemn tone, seid to me, ;This is goiug to be a failure." I answered that things had cer tainly not looked very bright at nightfall, but my own spirits had been very much raised by Capt. Lee's arrival, and the information brought with him. Can. Pillow did not no tico my remark, but, in a tone ant! maipier implying that I had interrupted , linn, went on to say, that "I call on you now to remem ber, and bear me witness hereafter, that I have had .nothing to 4h with ." At that time, I looked upon these words as the dying chage of, a inaq who expected to be killed next day, and m a manner corresponding to that expression, I made him a .promise, as well as i recollect, "I will not forget." He then began some further remarks in the same strain, giving his views of what onght to be done. Mr. Trist further testified, that at a meet ing of many general officers, about the 11th of September, Gen. Scott was in favor of at. tacking Chapultepec, but that Gen. Pillow was very reserved. Furthermore, that about the same time Gen; Pilkw expressed to him bjs 'deoided opinion that there should be no more active operaUons until ine army was reinforced.'1 He also testifies that Gen. Soot t was not cast down nor irresolute after the af fair of Mou6y(M Rey, a stated by Gen. Pillow, though he was much grieved at the lo'sVof -rftaky personal friends. He says I reoolteot, rsxrtioularly, Martin Sport -was one of them. His mind, in other respects, was pieewsly what I have always known it to be, in regard to all operations of lbs' amy, but aH day In receiving reports, and comparing views, perfectly clear and collected. 11 there wm My difference between his. eondition then and en farmer occasion, he was mote animated. i .i:.!,: Ps,The tesUmoney of Mr, Trist . went princi-' pally to exculpate Gen, Scott from the impu tation cast upon him by Gen, Pillow, of hav ing made an 'experiment" in the affair of Molino del Rey. i Mr. Trist, it would eeern) was hot altogether cool in his manner, as the President of the Court requested that he Would cive his evidence with less of arjirit and torjeand hatred, fee, ' . , . The subjoined extract from the testimony of Capt. Huger, on the evening of the 20th, after the battlei it would be well to comnare with the one quoted above ,tllo testimony of Mr. Trist, given late at night bv Gen. Pillow. just before the battle ' I rode up to him to congratulate him on his safety and the success of the day( which had turned out as well as we could haVo wished from tho propects of the previous night. The General replied, "Yes sir, I am getting along ery well ;. 1 llad arranged all mv . nlaus. which have been mi.ni...fnllu .-nrrln,! nd.Oeiij Scott is perfectly satisfied with it." ine subjoined quotation from tha same witness, Capt. ll., only agrees with the opin ion entertained by every sensible nml candid mind in this, country, respecting the euertrv of the brave old General who has done so much with so meagre means in Mexico. Q. Hail the witness many official or other interview with General Scott between the 7th nd the 19th of September, and what was the impression received by witness on those occasions, regarding said cott's energy com pared with earlier occasions in the cam paign t ' A. I have had frdqlienl interviews with General Scott during the stated time J and as tho occasion required any great energy, I think he always displayed as ninth or more energy, both of mind and body, us 1 observed on lesser occasions. Lieut. Beeman testified that Mai. Burns denied positively to him having been the au thor of tho Leonidas letter.

Pillow's name was introduced in the chorus, tho whole written and adapted to the beautiful air of Jim Crow. Lieut. McConnell thus speaks in answer to a question when and where he saw Gen eral Pillow at the battle of Chapultepec. He states the time twenty minutes after the place had fallen, that Gen. Pillow was carried into the works. "When I was near the building, I saw Gen. Pillow borne along on the backs of somo soldiers. I remomber it was at this, time that they were carrying him along, for t stop ped a moment to look at hiin, and seeing that he did not appear to suffer much hurt, and remembering a circumstance which happen ed some time previous, I passed on thinking he was but slightly hurt." The testimony of Lieut. Simpson goes merely to confirm that of Lieut. McComfel!, as to the time that elapsed after the fall of Chapbltepec before the arrival of Gen. Pillc'r, in a blanket, at the castle. ' It was thought that the Court of Inquiry would soon adjourn to the United States, where are many of those whoso testimony is considered important.

After swaggering about the room for a few minutes, he cried out and challen ged any man in the room to drop money with him, one piece at a time, mid tha one whose purse held out the longest should take the whole and treat tho company. No one at first appeared to'act!ept his challenge which only tended to render the fop more inflated with an idea of his .superior wealth, and ha became trie more earnest ; at longlh a rusty looking, but shrewd old farmer observed, if no one else would except of his offer he would doit.
