A REDTARICABLE OITY•
The city of NICE, so interesting to the
Christian for the celebrated conned once
held there, and the artist for the beautiful
fragments yet remaining of Ancient splen
dor, now shares with many of its compeers,
the dust of niikl9e. 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.

Mrs. Norton has left her brother's seat,

much as possible; but the whole could not

ceeded, during which she called wildly s uptiff

--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

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.
