Scene at the British Court on the Recogni
tion of the American Incbpendence.
Soon after my arrival in England, Laving
received at tho Insurance office, one hundred
guineas, on the event of relieving Gibralter,
and dining the same day with Copeley, the
distinguished painter, who is a Bostoniaa by
birth, I determined to devote the sum to a
portrait of myself. The painting was finish
ed in a most' admirable style, except the
"back-ground, in which Copeley designed to
re rc-cut a ship bearing to America the intel
ligence of the acknowledgment of the Inde
pendence, with a sun just rising upon the
stripes of the Union, streaming from her
gaft". All was complete, save the flag, which
Copeley did not esteem prudent to hoist under
present circumstances, as Lis gallery is a con
stant resort of the royal family and the nobility.
I dined with the artist on the glorious Cftli
of December, 3732, after listening with him
to thj speech of the King, formally receiving
and recognizing the United states of A
Vmer-
ica as one of the nations cf the earth
vious to dining, and immediately after our
return from the House of Lords; La invited
me into Lis studio, and there with a bold
band a rn.i.-tcr touch and an American
heart, attached to-the ship the stars and
stripea. This wr.s, I imagine, the first Amer
ican flag hoisted in old England, on canvas!
At an early hour on the fifth of December,
lTiI, in confoi mlty with previous arrange
ment, I was conducted by the Earl of Ferrers
to the very dour. lie whispered, "(Jet as
near the throue as yen can ; fear nothing."
I Ji t so, and found myself exactly in front of
it, c lb-jv to elbow with the celebrated Admi
ral Lor. I Howe. The lords were promiscu
ously standing s I entered. It was a dark
and foggy day, and the windows being eleva
ted, and constructed in the antiquated style,
with !cadcu bars to contain the diamond cut
pan. of glass, augmented the gloom. The
wul'd ivfie hang with dark tapestry, repre
- s'-ntin the defeat cf the ripanihh Armanla.
I hid the pleasure of recognizing in the crowd
.f .-u.ctkiors, Copeley, and West the painter,
vr.;;i so;ii-j American ladies. I also noticed
some dejected American lo3-al"sts in the group
After waiting nearly two hours, the approaclr
of the king was announced by a tremendous
roir f artillery. lie entered by a small
door ou the left of the throne, and immedi
ately seated himself upon the chair of state,
in a graceful attitude, with his right foot
upon a stool lie was clothed in roj'al robes.
Apparently agitated he drew from his pocket
the scroll containing his speech. The Com
inous were summoned, and after the bustle of
their entrance had subsided, he proceeded to
. read his speech.
I was near the king, and watched with
intense iaterest, every tone of his voice and
every emotion of his countenance. It was a
moment of thrilling and dignified exultation.
After some general and usual remarks, he
continued. " I lost no time in giving the
, necessary orders to prohibit the further pros
ecution of ouejsive war upon the continent of
North America. Adopting, as my inclination
will always lead me to do, with decision and
effect, whatever I collect to be the sense of
my parliament, and my people, I have pointed
all my views and measures in Europe as in
North America, to the entire and cordial
reconciliation with the Colouies. Finding it
indispensible to the attainment of this object,
I did not hesitate io go to the full length of
the powers vested in mo, and oner to declare
them" Here he paused, and was in evident
agitation, either embarrassed in reading his
address by the darkness of the room, or effec
ted b' a very natural emotion. In a moment
he resumed "And offer to declare then free
and independent States. In thus admitting
their separation from the crown of these king
doms. I have sacrificed every consideration of
my own to the wishes and opinions of my
people. I make it my humble and ardent
prayer to almighty God that Great Iritain
may not feci the evils which result from so
reat a dismemberment of the empire, and
that America may be free from the calamities
which Lave formerly proved, in the mother
country. Low essential monarcLy is to the en-
joyment of constitutional liberty lleligion,
ianguage, interest, and affection may, and I
iiopo will yet prove a bond of permanent
union between the two countries."
It is remarked that George III. is celebra
ted for reading his speeches in a distant, free,
iud impressive manner On this occasion he
was evidently embarrassed; ho hesitated,
choked, and executed the painful duties of
the occasion with an ill grace that does not
Lelong to him. I cannot adequately portray
my sensations in the progress of this address.
Every artery beat high with my American
blood ! It was impossible not to revert to the
opposite shores of the Atlantic, and not to
review, in my mind's eye, the misery and woe
I had myself witnessed in several stages of
the contest, and the wide spread desolation
resulting from the stubbornness of this very
king, now so prostrate, but who had turned a
deaf ear to our humble and importunate pe
titions for relief. Leaving the House, I jos
tled Copeley and West, who, I thought, were
enjoying the rich political repast of the day,
and noticing tho anguish and despair depicted
in the long visages of our American Tories.
The Dark Lantern Mystery to he Investiga
ted. Governor T W. Ligon, of Maryland, in
his annual message to tho Legislature, recom
mended as a fit subject for its attention an ex
amination into the existence of secret political
societies, which have for their purposes " the
subversion of the well-established and deeply
cherished principles of our government." Mr.
Kennedy, an American member from Balti
more, was appointed Chairman of the Commit
tee, (the Legislature being also largely of the
same complexion,") to investigate the matter,
!, .i.iocl o Wfr tr, ihr Governor in-
omrmif he could sire any information con-
auinncr it ue could ive any
ceruing the existence ot secret political socie
ties having such objects in view as intimated
in the message. His Excellency immediately
replied, thauking the Legislature for its prompt
action, and then goes ou (o say, "I am cred
ibly informed by ft large number of citizous
that iu their opinion and belief there exists
now within this State numerous societies of a
secret character, whose object and purpose is
to prevent the election or appointment to ofiice
of any person belonging to the Roman Catho
lic Church, or who is not a native born citi
zen of the United States : that iu such secret
associations, councils or lodges, oaths, pledges
ami nlili.T-inons fire administered to effect this
obj:ct." He further susgests that the com- ! pamlanus tree. Here again, the ground was

Constitution of the North Carolina State Coun
cil, adopted Junuary 18th, 1855 ;" an Address
adopted in the State Council of Massachusetts,
June 29th, 1855; resolves of the State Couu
cil of South Carolina, adopted at a meeting
held at Charleston, August 1-lth, 1S55, cop
ies of which papers, I regret, I have not at
hand to lay before you. I have no-doubt,
however, the committees will be able, if they
desire it, to procure them. I would further
respectfully suggest that you summon before
ycu the delegates from this State to the Con
vention said to have been held at the city of
Cincinnati about tho close of the 3'ear 1S5 L.
and also the delegates from this State to the.
National Council held at the city of Philadel
phia in the month of June lat. This last
body, whose proceedings arc said to have been
conducted in secret, issued what purports to
bj a platform of principles to which I would
respectfully refer you. I do so, because in
the eighth section of said publication the poli
cy of the Roman Catholic Church in cur coun
try is denounced as aggressive, and an organ
ized political resistance to those of tho Catho
lic faith plainly indicated and encouraged ;
thus introducing " religious issues into the
field of political agitation." The 14th section j
of this platform declares " that all the prin- j
ci jilts of the order shall be hcarrforth every i
where openly avowed and that each member ;
shall be at liberty to make known the existence
of the order, and the fact that be is himself a
member, and it recommend that there lie no
concealment of the jlaces of met. tin j of subor
dinate councils."
Gov. Ligon has now given the Park Lan
tern Committee a chance to make a clean
breast of it ; but we don't imagine that they
will do any such thing. They would make
more headway if their lalors were to investi
gate nunneries aud peep into the bed-rooms and
uuder the beds of the sisters. What has be
come of Joseph Hiss and Mrs. Patterson ?
How Ape3 Catch Crabs.
A traveller in Java relates the following
amuseing scene, which he witnessed in the
company of some of the natives :
After walking close up to the old campaign,
they were upon the point of turning back,
when a young feliow emerged from the thiek
ct, and said a few words to the mandoor.
The latter turned with a laugh to Frank, and
asked him if Le Lad ever seen the apes catch
crabs. Frank replied in the negative, aud
the mandoor taking his hand, led him gently
and cautiously through the deserted village,
to a spot which the young follow had pointed
out, and where the old man had formerly
planted hedges, rendering it an easy task for
them to approach unobserved.
At length they reached the boundary of
the former settlement a dry, sandy soil, strip
of beach, where all vegetation ceased, aud
only a single tall pandanus tree, whose roots
were thickly interlaced with creeping plants,
formed as it were the advanced posts of the
vegetable kiugdom. Behind this they crawl
ed along, and cautiously raising their heads,
they saw several apes, and at a distauce of
two or three hundred paces, who were pertly
lookiug for something as they walked up and
down the beach, while others stood motion
less. 1
It was the long tailed, black variety, and
Frank was beginning to regret that he had
not his telescope with him, to watch the mo
tions of these strange beings more closely,
when one of them, a tremendous large fellow,
began to draw nearer to them. Carefully ex
amining the ground, over which he went with
all fours, he stood at intervals to scratch him
self, or to snap at some insect that buzzed
around him.
He came so close that Frank faucied that
he must scent them, and give the alarm to
the other monkeys, when suddenly passing
over a little elevation covered with withered
reedy grass, he here discovered a party of
crabs, parading up and down on the hot sand.
With a bound he was amongst them, but not
quick enough to catch a siugle one ; for the
crabs, though apparently so clumsy, darted
like lightning into a quantity of small holes
or cavities, which made the ground here re
semble a seive, and the ape could not thrust
Lis paws after them, for the orifice was too
narrow.
Tho mandoor nudged Frank gently to draw
Lis attention, and they eaw the ape, after
crawling once or twice up and down the small
strip of land, and peeping into the various
holes, with his nose close to the ground, sud
denly seating himself very gravely by one of
them, which he fancied most suitable. He
then brought round his long tail to the front, j
thrust the end of it into the cavity, until he j
met with an obstacle, and suddenly made a i
face which so amused Frank, that he wouia
have laughed loudly, Lad not the mandoor
raised his finger warningly and directly the
ape drew out his extraordinary line with a
jerk. At the end of it, h wever, hung the
desired booty, a fat crab by one of its claws,
and swinging it round on the ground with
! such violence as
to it loose its hold, he
took it in bis L.ft paw, picked uP a stone with
the rtiier, and alter cracking tne sueii, ae
vourcd tho savory contents with evident sat
if action.
Four or five he thus caught in succession , J
on each occasion when the crab nipped him,
making a face of heroic resi-jnation and pain,
but each time ho was successful, and be must
have found in tho daint' dish, and the re
venge for the nip, abundant satisfaction for
the pain he endured, or else he would not
Lave set to work again so soon.
Thus then the ape, quite engaged with the
snort, and without taKinr nis eves on tue
j ground, cad apprc
! ty paces of the p:
reached to within about tweu-
party concealed behind the
; wnn signs oi me iuu?i eager aucuuuu.
! The iiiHiir. however, lasted longer than he
The
anticipated ;
but being already well Slied by
his i)ast successful hauls, he pulled up his
knees, laid his arms upon them, bowed up his
head, and half-closing Lis eyes, Le assumed
such a resigned and yet exquisitely comical
face, as only an ape is capable of putting on
under these circumstances. .
ut his quiet was destined to be disturbed
in a manner as unsuspecting as it was cruel.
Ue must have discerned some very interest-
n
object iu the clouds, for he was staring up
there fixcdlv. when ho uttered a loud yell,
left hold of his knees, felt wilb both Laods for
his tail, and made a bound in the air, as if
the ground under him was growing red hot.
At the end of his tail, however, hung a gigan
tic crab, torn with desperate energy from his
hiding place, and Frank, who could restrain
himself no longer, then burst into a loud
laugh.
The mandoor at first retained his gravity ;
but when the ape, alarmed by
tac strange
sound, looked up and saw men.
and then
bounded away at
full speed, with his tormen-
tor still
dancling at the end of bis tail, tho
r.1
man could no louder refrain either, and
they both laughed till the tears ran down
their cheeks.
The ape, in the meanwhile, flew across the
narrow strip of sand, followed by all the others,
towards the jungle, and in a moment after,
not a single one was visible.
. A Fiece of Legal Advice.
The ancient town of Pennes, in France, is
a phice famous for law. To visit llennes
without getting advice of some sort, seemed
absurd to the country people round about.
It happened one day that a farmer named
Bernard, havicg come to this town on busi
ness, bethought himself that he had a few
Lours to spare, it would be well to get the ad
vice of a good lawyer. He had often heard
of a lawyer Foy, who was in such repute that
people believed a lawsuit gained when he un
dertook the cause. The countryman went to
the office, and after waiting some time, was
admitted to an interview. He told the law
yer that having heard so much about him,
and Lapnening to be in town, he thought he
would call aud consult him.
" You wish to bring an action, perhaps,"
replied the lawyer.
"O, no' p pli 'd the farmer, " I am at
peace with all tin- w--;-!.."
" Then it is a Beitioment of property that
you waut, is it ":"
" Excuse me, Mr Lawyer, my family and
I have never made a divisioi, seeing that we
draw from the same well, as the saying is "
" It is, then, to get me to uegotiafe a pur-
chase or a sale that you have come." I
" Oh, no, I am neither rich enough to pur- j
chase nrr poor enougn to scl." !
" Will 3-011 tell me, then, what you do j
want of me said the lawyer iu a tone of sur- ;
prise.
" Why, I have already told you, Mr. Law- j
yer," replied Bernard ; " I want your advice. S
I mean to pay for it, of course." j
The lawyer smiled, and taking pen and pa- j
per, asked the countryman his name. j
"Peter Bernard," replied th.- countryman, :
quite happy that the lawyer at leugth 1 nder
stood what he wanted.
" Y'our age ?"
" Thirty years, or very near it."
" Your vocation V"'
"What's that?" ;
" What do you do for a living?"
" Oh ! thatfis what it means is it ? Why,
I'm a farmer." !
The lawyer wrote wo lines, folded the pa- '
per, and handed it to his client. !
" Is it finished already T said the firmer. !
"Well aud good? What is to be the '
price of that advice, Mr. Lawyer ?"
" Three francs."
Bernard paid the money and took his leave,
delighted that Le Lad made use of his oppor-
i c 1 - e .

of the day. Meanwhile the Lay Lad been cut
two days, and was completely made. One
of Lis men come aud asked Lim if they should
draw in.
What, this evening ' exclaimed the far-
inev's wife
who Lad come to her husband.
' It would be a pity to begin the work so
late, since it can be done as well to-morrow."
Bernard was uncertain which way to decide.
Suddenly he recollected that he had the law
yer's advice in his pocket.
" Wait a minute," he exclaimed ; ' I have
an advice, and a famous one too, that I paid
three francs for ; it ought to tell us what to
do. Here, wife, ee what it says ; you can

"That's it," exclaimed J'ernard, as if a ray
of light had cleared up all Lis doubts. Come
bo quick ! get the carts and away ! Come
boys, come girls all . to the hay field ! It
shall not be said that I bought a three franc
opinion to inake no use of it. I will follow
the lawyers advice.
Bernard himself set the example by leading

j foresight of the lawyer.

was found that the river had overflowed, and
carried away all the Lay that hud been left iu
the fields.
The crops of the neighboring farmers were
j completely destroyed Bernard alone had not
1 sunered. me success oi u;s urst experiment
gave him such faith in the advice of the law
yer, that, from that time forth he adopted it
as his rule of cenduct, and became consequent
ly, one of the itost prosperous farmers in the
country. I hope that my readers will take
the hint from his success, and " never put oif
till to-morrow, what you can do to-day."

Whigs used to try to fix on the people so hard.
1 fact. Uncle Jake was a uimicrat from the
top of his bed to the .sole of his feet, aud
from one side all thro' to the other, aud Aunt
Nancy, his wife, was just as rambunctious on
the subject as himself, only a little more so.
Now. Mr. Eastman, I don't like to expose
Uncle Juke, but the thing is so good, I'll
have to tell you all about it.
Last Summer ihar cum into our settlement
a nice yoaug man, sent out. as I larnt. from

Ja!:c uoed he was a reglar lingtailed No-Not.h-in.
They dun the olo man at nite, and arrv
it was all over he started home, an' as he
went along his miud was full of misgivins,
how could Le face the ole 'omau ? What
would Ginral Jackson say if he was a alive?
How could he meet his old Dimicratic friends
agin? and he suddenly recollected that Tie ;
Union, (the old watchman on the tower of j
our Pelitical Ziou, as he used to call your
paper,) was opposed to it. All these things 1
begiu to work in Uncle Jake's mind, till by !
the time he got ho.ae ho was iu a powerful
swivet.
He found Aunt Nancy a sitting up fur
him, aii' Unkle Jake ho never was ashamed
to meet afore.

" Nuthio much," sea Uncle Jake I don't

that he couldn't uo longer vote his old ticket,

he groaned in spirit.
Aunt Nancy waked him up, skeered to
