At the mandate of the emperer.Csigitie. A. D. 329., there assembledi Withipii . walls, a greater num. ber of 'ChiistianOinisters than the world had ever -before seen together. From the splendid cities of Asia—from the caves of remote Europe, and the burning sands of Africa, three hundred and eighteen Bishops and a large number of Priests and Deacons and LattY.rnen. assembled in council, upon the welihre of the Christian Church, and established the celebtated declaration of faith called the "Nicene Creed." It is said that the appearance of this city, after you have ascended the hills whicketnbosam it, is of the most striking and romantic char acter. An extensive and beautiful plain greets the eye—mapped by streams of wa• ter and scenery of the most pleasing aspect In its centre the waters of the famous Lake Ascanius repose, fringed with the en livened green of the forest trees, so luxuri- antly beautiful in thisimpical climate. At the extremity of this lake is situated the large and beautiful city of Nice. Its walls are six miles in circumference. and are of an imposing height--from 25 to :30f1., and 14 feet thick at the base, and bid fair to continue for centuries. They are mantled as usual with parapets and battlements, and the walk upon the summit is beautiful. The entrance is by three gates, the one inside the other, and richly ornamented with basso relievos. The second or centre gate is magnificent in size and rich workmanship, with frieze cornices, and all ornaments which mark the pure age of architecture, and is in a perfect state of preservation.— There is an inscription on the frieze of the ghte, intimating its erection by Adrian.-- The whole exterior is imposing, and would plainly tell the most indifferent observer that he was in the neigherhood of one of the largest cities. The traveller would wonder on his approach to the spot, at the circum • s t ance of meeting none of the inhabitants of this great city without its gates. But this wonder would be changed to amazement when on entering its walls he finds neither house, nor inhabitants, nor even the remains of either of them! The whole enclosure is one vast solitude! Of the splendid palaces, marble fountains, paved courts, magnificent ampitheatres, termless baths, and innumerable dwellings, which once filled the great and populous city, not a vestige remains; the only trace that build- ings have existed within this large space, are the walls of Greek inscriptions and figures worked like embroidery in small stones. There is also a spot on which frag ments of a large building vet remain, which is said to be the palace of Constantine.— From the fragments which yet strew the spot little donbt can be entertained of these being the remains of the celebrated palace. Here met those holy men of Christendom— the illustrious disciples of the sainted dead; and through their declaration of faith —their creed yet remains—their bones whiten ev ery land—their names are lost, and the magnificent and rime-defying' palace in which they assembled, has now crumbled to its native dust. Nay, even the vast and populous city in which they mi t, has been swept away with a besom of destruction from the face of the earth. The moral is a striking one, and no language of mine would do it justice. FASIIION.—The fashion that the ladies of some of our cities have - of walking upon their toea, is shid to have grown out of the custom of combing the hair up behind and turning it over to the forehead. A lady who was considered a model of filsbion, on a certain occasion combed her hair so firmly forward, that her heels could not touch the ground, and in this way made her appear ance in. public. The next Sabbath morn ing all the female tribe might be seen minc ing to church on the tip end of their toes. "I WISH NO OTHER HERALD, NO OTHER SPEAKER 'OP HY LIVING ACTIONS, TO KEEP MINE HONOR.

He married the only daughter of the late Sir Colquhoun Grant, who was reconciled to the match a short time before his death, and left to Mr ( Sheridan and his wile the bulk of his fortune —amounting to some thousands annually, with the seat in Dorset. The Into. deplo• sable event, we regret to learn, has preyed deeply on the mind and health of the unfor. tunate lady. The expose and details of the trial were kept from her, we understand, as much as possible; but the whole could not be concealed, and violent hysteric fits suc ceeded, during which she called wildly s uptiff her husband and her children. TO ihe'for mer she is said to have written, bOth before and subsequent to the trial, declaring in the most solemn manner, the falsehood of the charges made against her--alluding, sus touching bequ tenderness, to their early love an, bated last h , proud edges the cop caluni for his disabu not see her, at least to write; and give sm distant hope of fondness and.ieconcillltA A letter from her to the nom' defenM is also mentioned, in which gig reproaches him, it is said, most bitterly, for his protrac., ted visits, and their melancholy disaatrous results! She paints the misery and ruin , wailed up 'Avhile she had passed:the, ordeal unsceparated from her hus band-bereftoflier children—blasted before. the world—and dependent, even for a home' and shelter, upon the affection of her brother --she contrasts his years and experience with her youth, and asks what atonement can he make het? This letter, written in a paroxontv of despair, is said to be full of , mournina• recollections of lost domestic hap furless and peace, with the fondest affection for her husband and children. What his answer has been, we do not know; but there is no human heart but such an appeal must penetrate- Alas, when he remembers what she once was, arid what now she is, his feel tugs may he vended. almost in the same lan guage as Burk's eloquent and affected re• miniscnce of the fatal Marie Antoinette.— He must say— "lt is now somewhat more than ten years since first I saw her--haopy in her Ws-, band's affection and confidence, and the de votion of numerous friends. She was then raidiant in youth and beauty. I saw her .decorating and cheering the elevated sphere she just b. gan to move in; glittering like the morning star, full of life and happiness and joy. Oh, what a revolution! and what a heart must I have to contemplate, without emotion, that elevation and that fall! Little did I dream. that when she added titles of admiration to those of distant respectful love, that she shout° ever be obliged , to carry the sharp antidote against disgrace concealed in that bosom; little did I dream that I should have lived to see such disasters fallen upon her, in a nation of gallant men, in a nation of men of honor. I .thought a hundred swords must have leaped from their scabbards, to avenge even a look that threatened her with insult—but the age of chivalry is gone." Sdch was Burk's impassioned lament over the fallen Queen ~of France. It may be overstrained in the present instance, but the subject of our present regret, was, and is, a lovely and an accomplished woman. er fate is a hard one—tor indiscretion and perhaps some personal vanity, seem to have been her utmost failings: and through the villainy of a crew of wretches she is visited with the worst consequences of actual guilt. It has been truly said, that indiscretion of ten draws down more suffering and ruin than positive vice. Laerteis tells his sister Ophelia— " The chariest maid is prodigal enough If she unmask her beauty. to the moon." Her husband's praise is the only flattery a married woman should listen to. "Ce n'est que le premier pas qui couto." The first step is the most perilous, and too often leads to an abyss no woman would tempt if placed at once before her In the present case, a jury of twelve intelligent and respect able men, have pronounced the wretched accuser of Mrs. Norton unworthy of belief, and recorded a verdict of innocence. We shall be anxious to see the final result of this decision; for it is impossible, when we re• member the obligations and station of both parties, that things can remain as they are. A MATCH BROKEN. -A few months ago a middle aged widower, whose legs are longer than his head—and who !gas sung songs in Washington, fell in love with a pretty young girl, young enough to be his grand daughter, but old enough in mind to be his mother. She was rather surprised at the old fel. low's paying his addresses to her, but being loud of a joke, she encouraged them to some extent. The widower brougnt her a variety of presents—some expensive--some otherwise —hut all of them indicating little or no taste. Among others, one evi:ning he brought Ma ria a very pretty musical box. She was a sensible and intellectual girl, and upon the music box being presented to her, she could not help allowing a sarcastic leer at the ends of her black eye, and rnund the edges of her lively little. mouth. Maria eet it a going on the table. It played merrily its set of tunes. "Mr. Smith," said Maria, Sit sounds low it in not loud enough. ".Ntit loUd enou g h—my love— , put it on something hollow, and the notes will sound much louder. • “Do you think eol” said Maria. ' ""Certainly love!" stud Mr, IV:dotter Smith. Maria,. with an arch look that spoke vol umes, took up the box—re-scythe tune— and placed it plump on the forehead of her devot"d admirer. The family circle around —father, mother, Ellen, Jane, Matilda, Rosa, ToM, Peter, EliirrY,'Earriet, Oblides, 'Ann, all; burst into a laugk at this sally of Maria's. -Mr. Widower Smith found out what.

From the New Yorker Mathanieg Carpenter vs. Merrill Coburn. An action for slander, in which the above were the parties. was brought to issue the past week, before the Circuit Court in this city, Judge Edwards presiding, which in volved some points of interest, especially to those engaged in the publication of newspa pers,and incidentally to their worthy coadju• tors in the dissemination of knowledge, the Postmasters. We have therefore taken some pains to acquaint ourselves with the facts of the case and the circumstances on which it was founded--which are briefly as follows: In September, 1834, Mr. Nathaniel Car. penter of this city visited thecounty ofJefrer son, N Y. in the capacity of Agent for the New-York Advertiser, and with the design of collecting sundry sums due that concern from citizens of the aforesaid county. As is not by any means unusual with persons in his line of business, he obtained plenty of nonpayment, and various were the frivolous excuses therefor which filled the measure of his patience without filling his pocket. One had no means of paying; another never in tended to pay; a third had gone to make populous the sometime solitudes of Michi gan, &c. &c. But not the least vexatious of these trials of temper were those which were connected with the manifest and man. ifold delinquencies or downright knavery of sundry among the hopeful brotherhood of Postmasters. (We are sure no honest mem ber of the fraternity will consider this a per sonal reflection) Among his accounts was one against Mr. Abraham Vedder, Felt's Mills, for the semi-weekly Advertiser from Jan. 1826, to. July, 1831—five years and ,a half—nothing paid.-It h.id finally been stop pad by the publishers,who had become tired of their patron. Mr. Carpenter now learned that the subscriber, had left the vicinity in the spring of 1F127! and that the paper had since been received and , apparently apprn priated by the Postmaster. He very natu. . rally made a call upon that functionary for information. lie wail informed by the official that- Mr. Vedder had repeatedly been notifi ed that the paper continued to come. to the office, and had pramisedto hairs itstOpeed. {Mr. Vedder denies this, but that is of no consequence.) Re was.asked why he had not notified the Publiskers. He replied that he was under no obligations to do so'--he had notified the subreriber, and that was sufficient. He refused to say what had be come of the papers. Mr. Carpenter was obliged to take this for an answer; but, find ing several instances of the kind, one upon another. in the region, he at length resolved to try the validity of such reasons for cozen ing a publisher out of his paper, and accord ingly brought his action against Mr, Post master Coburn for the value of the paper; lost through his neglect ofduty, if not by his improper appropriation to his own use. The defendant obtained one adjournment—then another—and Mr. Carpenter, whose busi ness would not permit his awaiting the plea sure of the functionary, at length made affidavit to the facts within his knowledge, including the admissions of the P. M. to be used when the latter could be broughtto trial, and departed on his collecting tour. The next day after his departure, he wasarres led at Ogdensburgh, eighty miles• distant, on a charge of perjury! .preferred by the P. M. defendant, and founded on the matter of his affidavit aforesaid.. fie was brilug)tt. back to Watertown, examined before a jus tice,arid held to bail to answer to the charge before the next session of the Court of Oyer and. Terminer. On the examination, Ce bu rn and his wife swore that they had notified . the publishers about the paper,nnd that they told Mr, Carpenter so. A hired man of the P. M. also swore to the latter assertion; but it was proved by Mrs. C. on-cross-examina tion that he had not heard the conversation which he professed• to relate.. The case bo- gm to look dark for Mr. Cnrpenter, who was advised by. his attorney to accept a compromise proposed by the Postmaster, who offered to withdraw the criminal suit if he would abandon thetcivil one. Mr. Car penter was infikti Llef7aleinsi r dering his repu tat ion involyed,:dWOilsue;bf the controver 'sy. In the m1E14:4048 perplexity, he was informed that Coburn had made the sante admissions - to others asto himself—that .he had never notified tlielibblishers—boasting that it was not his duty to do so, and that they might help themselviii. This _put a a new face on the ntjt; and, after , ,elcßeri : encing great diffictilif m'compelling this;at- , - tendance of witneases, who were the per sonal friends and 'dependents of Coburn, he tit length - found: himself.. on safe grdund again. .The conbtehle *ha served the war. rant on Coburn testified that the latter insist ed to him that ho bad notified Vedder, whirls was all he could do. and denied that he was bound to notify the publishers—de clanng that he would go doivn to Water. town, and it the law was against him would settle the demand. Mr- Amasa Fuller, a neighbor of Coburn in 1828-30, also testi- fied that Coburn had often stated to . him at the time that he had not notifiedthe pub lishers_!and argued that'he:iias not bound to Il do. e for some time took the paper at secondhand of Coburn and paid him there- for. The admissions of Coburn were made to Mr. Fuller in repeated conversa tions, at different intervals. This testimony was given on the civil suit, which was final ly withdrawn by the attorney of Mr. Car penter, in his absence, on the strength o false represeigations made on the part of the defendant. The material fact, that Coburn had not notified the publishers and repeat edly asserted that it was not his duty to do so, is abundantly substantiated by several persons,--among them Mr. Vedder, and Mr. George %Vinants, who also vibited that section as a Collecting Agent, Mr. Com stock, Editor of the Ballston Spa Gazette, will also testify- that he Sentlis paper to the Felt's Mills Post Office to Mr• Vedder for years alter the latter had left the place, and never received any notice to discontinue And yet, in his defei.ce on the civil action, and in his complaint against Carpenter, Postmaster Coburn set up the pretense that he had notified the publishers of. the Daily Advertizer, and never admitted the contrary to any one! The prosecution for perjury against Mr. Carpenter was finally abandoned by Coburn —the Court having already discharged the recognizances of Carpenter on the motion of Hon. Micah Sterling, who declared it the most disgracefill prosecution ever attempted in the Court—seconded by Joshua A.Spen cer, -Esq. and other members of the bar. The Court acceded to . the request without hesitation; and this was the last of the Post master's complaint for perjury. But that functionary having repeatedly accused Mr. Carpenter of that crime before entire stran gers to the latter, to the manifest injury of his reputation and business. he immediately commenced an action for the defamation, which was ultimately brought to trial in this city on Tuesday of this week. It will readily be 'conceived that it was utterly im- possible to bring into Glen a third ofthe facts • which ought to be within the knOw• edge of the Jury—the deferidOnt merely pleading the general issue and net a jus►ifi cation. It was attempted on the part ofthe defence to connect the affair in some way with politics, as though every impeachment of the conduct of a petty Postmaster was an attack, on -the. political party to which he chooses to attach himself. Under the nar• row rules which regulate the admission of testimony in a case of this nature, it is ques tionable whether the Court and jury—utter strangers to the whole transaction—could have any just idea of the iniquity of the pro:), ceeding on the part of the defendant., Judge Edwards, however, charged the jury deci- dedly in favor ofexemplary damages. The jury returned a sealed verdict for 0e- plan tiff, Three Hundred clad Fifty Dollars. ~. a•~: . • ,To [VCIL. • • .;•-•' CHINA.. ,, Of • • • dencies, embracing the grey it v' * t f ever brought under one learn froin time to: tinnoropeCurititlit: titulars, notwithstanding the rig41,4i.*1:..' , :' ‘tt , of foreigners from everytitY, and ery port ' except . 0000.
