lett Aiasaniello as their leader, under the title of 'Cap

Thfr,fult act of his authority was to break open the pri
,uas.aiut inundate the city with their infamous inhabi
twilit; and 3 thousand outrages were the natural con
setpienties of this rash step. Houses were pillaged and
innocent persons put to death; while the incidental ex
idesion ea magazine of g-unpowder arravated the (Hs.
Asters of the day. The viceroy, who had taken shelter
in t 1 Castel Nuovo,attempted to garrison and strength
..m.its fortifications, as well as those of St. Elmo and

oltiii.irtops,,,although joined by the militia, were found

aggravated by accidental causes, soon returned.
rpttiettle time previous to the breaking out of the
instuyectiom the city of Naples had been molested by
certain predatory hands, which the police had found it
self unable to repress; and which now united under a
common bead to join the standard of Alasaniello.—
Perrorse, ono of its chief captains, had formerly been
his intimate associate, and was now intrusted with the
pristmer . ' a of the insurgent party; but this !mai having
beets won over by a bribe from the Duke of Alatalone,
not sally suffered the Duke to escape, but agreed for the
tardier sum of 12,000 ducats, to assassinate Masani
clic:4 in this attempt be was to be seconded by anoth
er brigand named Polembe; and at a general meeting of
the *nide in the Piazza del Popolo, the banditti, to
the
.amount of 500, suddenly appeared among them, on
itorsaltack'und completely armed. Ma.saniello instant
ly required them to dismount. that their numbers might
not extant) alarm tu the minds of the citizens; but their
captain refused to obey the command, while seven of
his isrquebusiers fired at Masaniello, and so nearly ef
feeted.their purpese that the halls perforated his dress.
Irritated .by this act of treachery,the populace return
ed the firet, and having killed thirty of the banditti,
droveille remainder into an adjoining church, where,
regardless of the sanctity of the place, they pursued
the work of death even to the very steps of the altar.
The "Ashes were darkened by the discliarg4 of musketry,
and ihe pavement was covered with 'gore.
SeAlltious, indeed, were tha isrsurgenti in defence
of their favorite Capo dal Popolo, that some of the bati

thatithe duke of Matalone and his brother, Dun Jo

destruction of Masaniello, Don Joseph was seized and

street' 3f Naples streamed with the blood of its nristo
cracie.aisd the conflagration of its scattered palaces
rendeet,ther scene yet more appalling.
Theilierposition of the Cardinal Filomarino, Arch
bishop of Niples, was now entreated by the Viceroy,
and it was judged expedient that a personal negotia
tion should take ph= between the three. Masaidellu
was pireseied toexchange his mariner's jacket for a
snit of"cleth of silver, and to proceed, mounted on a
charger splendidly caparisoned, to the church of Our
Lady of Carmel; where the articles of a proposedebar
.er were publicly read to the people. From thened'
'hey moved towards the fortress of Castel Nuevo, to
neat the Duke of Areas, and the insurgent populace
rowding after the procession soon filled its spacious
courtyard .. In the midst of political discussion
mbicistasiargi, litaisaniello, wilting to convince the vice
ray ithd thecoortiers present of his influence over the
mails of the Neapolitans—showed himself at a win
dow of the nabinett'and the mob, notwithstanding .its
lane of tededuicriis excitement; subsided into the most
t. ir esthless stillness on a mere motion of his hand. At
(mother eignal. - tatise::bells of the city were tolled, as

With these honors, however, and the abandonment
of the humble condition of life, the right; of which he
had so energeticallv defended, the fortunes of Massani
elloappear to have. r , ceised their death-blow. The
fiery temperament and that audacious courage which
had suggested hi, resistance to the despotism of the
Spanish government. hut which were unrestrained by
the influence of education, or the lessons of historical
experience, became irritated to frenzy by apprehen
sions of treachery, arising from the conspiracy already
orgnnized by the Duke ut Matalone. Exhausted by

public heaped upon himself mid his family on
this occasion by the haughty, Duke of Arcos appeared
to have unsettled his mind.
On rho following ,lay, a thousa:el obsurditi.ss oa the
part of the insurgent captain interrupted the discharge

that the principal posts cf the city should he resigned

naturally declined this tit:ceremonious invitation, but

wine called Lachrynhr Ch rya threw
hiinst.if into the sra with his clothes on, and anni:ed
himself by Awinnnin2; !ill at length his state drunken

_Meanwhile, the populace, disgusted •his intempe
rance. and beginning to pet cei Yr that a null so utter
ly lit flipalde of self-government was unworthy of being
intrusted with the guardianshiliot their liberties, formed
a new c mspiracy against hie life; even his own pa Ili
sun4 and attendants were compelled to secure him by
cords during the night,in order to prevent the cons , -
quetires of his brutal intoxication. H :personal friend:,
indeed, expressed their conviction that the frenzy of
their beloved chief.. had been produced by deleterious
drugs, seen tly administered at the instigation of the
ro2 ; alist party, but the early records of his life prove him
to have been constititionally subject to mental derange

open to 1 7 ,• eff'ect's of extraordinary elevation and pros

On the 10th day of the insurrection, Masaniello es
caped from the durance imposed on him by those about
his person; and rushing into the church 01 the Carmel

celehratit.o of mass, he ascended the pulpit, and with a
crucifix in his band, harangued the 4audienc:i, com

the penpie fist:nail with contempt to his ravings; and
the Carmelite priests having ft tic ilily withdrawn him '

THE SCHOOL APPIWPRIATIOS.—The Venango Dem
ocrat, in eng . riting rnAtlet'3 'hat hotild be reformed
during the next seF•siuti of the Legi,lature, make; the
following remark,:
"But to come more direct to amare important point,
we conceive that the commonwealth in her present
embarrassed and ahnost BankrUpt conditias, would be
perfectly justifiable in withholding for a short peri.sl,
say 5 years, from the Comnion school fond, the annual
appio riatiemoftwoh und , eliiousanddollars,which
the people have to pay indirectly in taxes, besides an
• equal amount collected directly as school taxes. Much
as we admire a general system of education, and high
as we value the intelligence of community, yet it does
forcibly occur to our mind, that we should be in public,
as in private affairs, "just before we are generous."—
In lopping off this one item of expenditure, too million
of dollars will be saved to the people in five years,
which in prosperous times would be no trifle, and much
less in these Bankrupt and repudiating times."
We differ entirely from our Venango friend in this
seLsestion, and think that there are but few who will
agree with him. From the manner in which the School
System has hcea sustAtined by the people of Pennsyl
vania. we feel perfectly safe in saving that no embar
rassment will ever induce them to approve any propo
sition that would tend to curtail its usefulness. Every
good citizen would rather be trebly taxed to meet the
enga;emeats of the state, than that the system which
is now shed.ling the lights of knowledge on the minds
of thou-ainL wit, otherwise might remain in the gros
sest ignorance, should be retarded in its beneficent de
sign. Like all systems of human origin, it may beim-
I perfect in its (-Ivo eve iem, er fall somewhat short of its
original design: but that our common school system has
b een p ro d; le tivc ofincalculable benefit to thousands, is
a fact which will certainly nut be denied, at this time
of day. It is a strange system of reform that would
propose to benefit the state by checking the progress
of education, and rather than ray a few dollars for the
maintenance of Common Schools, subject the cominuni
ty to all the evils and crimes which necessarily spring
from an ignorant state of society. We hope our friend
of the Democrat will reconsider his 'suggestions,' end
find something more worthy the support of the "power
ful newspaper family," than a project that would do
much to render their existence unnecessary.

FOR PRESIDENT,
Lrsca Lear.--The colored people of Ohio are be.
ginning to imitate the practices the more refined
white population. The following artick, from the
Cincinnati Cinnmercial, shows that they have adopted
one of our most approved and fashionable amusements:
"Not king - since the colored people of Springfield in
this state, lynched a colored man named McDonald,
from Highland county, whom they found employed by
some Kentucky slaveholders at $2,00 per day, to make
himself acquainted with the stations and routes of those
who aid runaway slaves in their transit to the lake, all
of which information he was to report to his employers.
It is said he entered this state in the spring and was
Vansanted along the whole line by the ''liberty party."
He has remained in the North ever since, weaning
himself into the secrets of this semi-masonic institu
tion. Recently he f nerd it convenient to return S,nith,
but his true character became known in the North, and
letters were written to different points in this region to
the colored people to be on the alert and capture the
spy. At Urbana an arrangement was made to seize
him; but he got wind of the matter and came on to
Springfield. From here he was transported 15 miles
north on the "line" when he was recognized and let
go. lie returned again to Sprin2.field, when his color
ed brethren took measures to deal with him according
to Judge Lynch, and after night they took hint to a lone
place,organized a lynch cuurt, sentenced him to receive
thirty-nine lashes on the bare back, and forthwith eXP
cwed the sentence! McDonald was then turned loose
with his face towards Canada, the land of white slaves
and black freemen, and giving him ten paces start,
told him to nin for it, and if caught he should have "a
hundred and twenty." MeDenuld has not since been
s e en or heard from. The violated law will be fully
vindicated, as the whole matter was immediately hru't
before the Grand Jury of the county."
THE Vic;.; PREUDV.NCY.—The Advocatt! of Satur
day has a long article urging the nomination of the
Hon. Ilstru.ta Dzsttr, on the Whig ticker, fur the
Vice Presidency. It claims his nominatiqn as an act of
justice to Pennsylvania from her sister states, and sets
forth his peculiar fitness for the station in forcible lan
guage. That Pennsylvania has claims, and will tir;e
then, we have no doubt, but we arc equally certain that
M'. Defif.v i net her fto °rite, Der will s h e b e sat i,fi c a
with secondary favors. The democracy have long 6lace
designated the fiverite of the honest yeomanry of the
Keystone, and feeling conscious of their claim:: to the
first office in the gift of the people, they will nut compro
mise their rights by accepting the second. The Pre
sidontial candidate or nothing, is the feeling of every
honest Pennsylvanian, and front present indications
throughout the country, there is good gromel to sup
pose that their wish will be gratified.

oil of vitriol. They then went down Frout street, be

him and destroyed the warps in his loom. They after

COUNTERFEITS ON THE BANK OF MISSOURI.—WeII
executed ten dollar counterfeit bills are in circulation
in the counties around Independence, \ lissouri, and in
the South part of the state down to the line. The pa

terfeiters are thought to be engaged in circulating this
sort of money, and also of twenty dollar bills, which
have been noticed before. It will be well enough to
keep a look out for bad money.

thus justly compliments the sterling democracy of that
district: "The 10th Congressional district, composed
of the countie3 or Northampton, Carbon, Mouroe,Pike

ocratic Canal Commissioners of any in the state. It

"Lewis Fassitt, recently a uhltaiber of the Sopho
more Class, in Yale College, arrived in this city yester
' day noon, in company with his brothers from Phila
delphia. The esteemed Father of young Fasscu, as
well as his brothers have thus acted most judiciously
in the matter, and by El ready and prompt return of the
offender, they have done much to disarm popular pre
judice, as well as to show that they cheerfully will a
bide the result, be it what it may.
"Distinguishedlegal counsel has been I etained, and
an examination will probably be had to-day. If so,
we shall publish the fact to-morrow. Young Fassitt
has voluntarily returned to the scene of his wrong-do
ing, and now he will throw himself upon a jury of his
countrymen. God grant him a speedy and hon °ruble
Oliver lance."

The corn mandan t of a Portuguese fort, seated under
a splendid canopy, in a richly ornamented saloon, re
ceived an African envoy, whom he lid not invite to sit
down. The envoy made a sign—instantly two of his
slaves placed their hands upon the floor. and their backs
served him for a seat. "Your King," said the com
mander, "is he as powerful as our King?" "My King,"
replied the negro, "has a hundred servants like the
King of Portugal, a th iusand like thee, and one like me,"
and instantly departed.

EXPENSE OF FUNERALS IN A CITY—EMBEL`-
; LISHMENT OF BURIAL GROUNDS, &ie."
The amusing N. Y. correspoudeet oflhe Nationel
Intelligeocer makes his letters interestiniln going oat
of the common highway for subjects upon which to
treat. The sight of an improved "iile-preserring
collie exhibited in the New York Fair, led him to
make some inquiries of an undertaker, from whimi ho
obtained the information which follows: from funerals
it was but a step to grove yards, his lucubrations upon
which we are sure will be read with instruction and
pleasure. But we will let him speak forhirnself:
"Incidentally Mr. D. informed me that a respecta
ble funeral in New York costs from two hundred to
eight hundred being rather more expeusively
done in New York and Boston than in any other city
' except New Orleans, (where they say a man may of
' ford to live Who cannot afford to die.) In Philadel
phia they make the coffin with a sloping roof, which,
he rem irked is inconvenient for packing in vaults,
though it seems accommodated to the one epitaph of
the Romans—sit ill{ terra leris. They line their cof
fins more expensiVely in Philadelphia titan elsewhere
—with satin or velvet instead of flannel—and bury
the dead in silk stockings and white gloves. IVs have
not yet arrived at the ceremony of hired mourners, as
in England, nor of plumes.tu the hearse and horses.
Notwithstanding the incredulity of my friend the un
dertaker, however, asphyxia; or a suspension of life,
with all the appearance of death, is certified to in ma
ny instances, and carefully provided for in someceun
tries. In Frankfurt, Germany, the dead man is raid in
a wel l- room and his hands fastened for three
days t a bell-pull. The Romans cut uhf one of tbefm
gers before bunting !he corpse or otherwise bestbwing
it out of sight. The Egyptians made sure by embalm-
ing. and other nations by frequent washing and anoint- !
in;. Medical books say we should wait three days in I
winter and two in summer, before interring the dead. j
It has been suggested that there should be a public of-
fiver who should carefully examine the body and give a j
certificate, without which the burial should - be illegal.
"The embellishment of burial grounds is one of the
most beautiful and commendable features of our time
and country. There always seemed to racier toomuch
I horror connected with the common idea of deport and
but ial. The Morivians make Hower gardens of their !
grave yards, and inscribe upon the stone at the head of
the buried man the "thu day he came hithor and the
day he went home"—his birth day and time of death.
This is clothing with the proper aspect an event whieh
is only an unlinking of a chain, no part of which can
decay—the spirit to return to its fountain and the body
to be reproduced in other forms of life—and it is a cu
rious thing that most Christians represent Death as a
frightful skeleton, while the Greeks, who bad no hap
piness in their hereafter, painted him as a sleeping
child or a beautiful youth. Death in the East was for
merly attributed to the attachment oft particular dei
ty, who took his favorite to a better w.. 11,1; to the love
of Aurora, if the death happened in the i:turaing: of
Selene, if it happened at night; of the wate.-nymphs,
if drowned; of Jupiter, if killed by lightning. 'fbe ca
verns whew the martyrs were laid were called "cham
bers of repose." And this, surely, is the butter impres
sign to give to death to those whose minds are.foim
ing. Query— whethera society for the purpose dem
bellishing cemeteries and brightening all the common
surroundings of death and burial would nut he wor
thy the attention of some philanthropic enthusiast?—
The soletnnities connected with a future life need not
make the gate to it always so dreadful; and, fur one, I
should be content to put the separation of soul and bo
dy on a level with the unlinking of a friendship or a
change ()pi 71 ion —e roeting a cenotaph for eitherof - the
three ebung.s, us the l':.timgoreans did to the memory
of those who hdi their But this is more tin es
say than an epistle.
