DAILY CRESCENT. [From the Philadelphia North American.]

J O H N M I T C H E L . The deed of infamy is «lone,

And, England ! kindling at thy shame. The soul of every free-born one

Must breathe a curse upon thy name !— By ev ery heart that beats for right—

By every heart whose hate is stirred. When tyrants preach their creed ol might.

Thy name must ever be abhorred !

The deed is done ! and he who stood, With dauntless heart, to plead the cause

Of freedom, and lus country's good. Is crushed beneath a tyrant's laws !

Tran>poited f rom his fellow men, A convict, o'er the rugged main—

His hand, that whilome grasped the pen. Now fettered with a felon's chain .

And shall man thus be crushed to earth-Shall all his rights lie swept away,

F'or merely daring to give birth To his own thoughts, and to obey

The voice which bids him to be free— The voice of Nature and of God !

Must he for this a martyr be. And scourged beueath oppression's rod ?

No î from a million spirits yet The shout of triumph will be sent.

As they, in mighty phalanx met. Shall bid the captive's bonds be rent.

And swear that while one pulse remains-While life one throb of strength affords—

Man shall not thus be found in chain* For uttering a PATRIOT'S words !

[From the Franklin (La.) Banner.) A F i s h S t o r y .

Some few years since there lived in this remote re­gion a gentleman-somewhat ambitious of sustaining the character of atonish élégant, remarkable for the beauty of his nut-brown hair, stylish in the cut oi his whiskers anil dress, foopisli in manner, and though past ihe time at which one cuts their wis-d'im teeth, being far advanced in the forties, he had by aid of all the concomitants of the toilet utmost persuaded himself'that he was scarcely outof his 'teens.

Fund of the society of our pretty Creole girls,* no party, ball, or pic-nic occurred without hjs all-im­portant aid, and he was generally considered par excellence the Indies' man of our village.

His love of gaiety and the amusements of our youth did not militate however with duties («elT imposed) that were more congenial with the opin­ions of the older heads of the place ; and in the ab­sence of the ilinerarit minister of the circuit, he would on the Sabhalh day invade the pulpit and read to the congregation the beautiful lilurgy of the Episcopal faitli with all the gravity of a down-east deacon. This obtained for him the soubriquet of Parson IÎ.

Among other amusements of the Stimmer season fîtes champêtre came in vogue. They were held by moonlight on the shell banks that skirt Lake. Chite-inacfies, some few miles distant from this place. The Creole ladies would there assemble, enjoy mu­sic and the dance, sail upon the lake's surface, par­take of the delicacies provided for the occasion, enjoy the sparkle of w it that would flow in as great profusion as the champagne, and intoxicate the beaus more with the bright glances of their brilliant black eyes than by the bumpers of generous wine they quaffed with them, and to crown the whole, the ladies, garnished in their bathing dresses and accompanied by the gentlemen, would venture into the wavy flood and disport themselves as Nt>iades, enjoying a refreshing plunge into the moonlit waters.

Parson B. upon one occasion ventured out with these, nymphs of the lake, and 'midst their shouts of laughter and encouragement to each other, car­ried away by his youthful exuberance of delight, and being but a short distance from a group of these Naiades, suddenly disappeared beneath t!i« surface of the water. Anon, an old man rose in the centre of the throng of Tritunesses, on whose bald head drops of lucent water glistened in the moon's bright rays, like dew drops of diamonds.

Alarmed at this strange and sudden apparition in their midst, with one shriek they turned to reach the shore, while Parson B., abashed at the unex­pected disclosure of the want of Hirsute covering for his bald pate, after vainly searching for the ar­tificial appendage to his upper story, enveloped his head in a bandanna 'kerchief and made the best of his way home, avoiding the unmerciful sallies of wit anil mirth caused by this unfortunate dénoue­ment.

1 do not vouch for its authenticity, but the fisher­men who resort to the lake for sport assert that every catfish taken in its waters since that time, wears u wig ! LIVE OAK.

* En passant, let nie remark no rejrion is so celebrïteil for the ureal, beauty of the Creole sirls as is our own mucli la-voreil Atiakayias.

QUEER ANSWERS.—Dr. Cooke Taylor, at a re­cent meeting of the British Association, gave an account of the course pursued at Trinity College, Dublin, as to the viva voce examination of students on entering. ON one occasion, the Rev. John Mar­tin was examining a class in hydrostatics, and asked a not very popular student :

*' Mr. Spencer, what would be the consequence if I thrust you into a pond

The examiner's object being to test the student's knowledge of the law that water rises in proportion to the body immersed. The student not being able to give a solution to the question, it was put to his neighbor :

" What would be the consequence if I thrust Mr. Spencer into a |wuid ?"

" 'l'on my word, sir," was the reply, " I think it would be of little consequence, indeed."

Another student being examined on Locke, he spoke of our relation to the Deity as that which we most neglect, was asked :

" What relations do we most neglect ?" The youth very coolly answered, " Poor rela­

tions !"

LATER FROM THE BRITISH WEST INDIES—The Coolit Si/stem.— The bark Ann Smith, Captain Barnes, arrived yesterday from Demerara. with files of the Guiana Times to the 3d inst. The plan adopted some time since, of importing the miserable creatures of India to her West India colonies, un­der the name of Coolies, or plantation laborers, is beginning to show symptoms not at all conducive of good to the society of the colonies.

Kvery paper we receive from the British West India possessions dwells more or less upon the in­jurious efleet of the practice of importing worthless creatures among them, who are, at the best, but paupers, and as such, a burden upon the people.

A recent Jamaica paper urges the feasibility , and even the necessity of an entire abrogation of the system. At Demerara, on the *2fith of May. Farl (irey proposes to erect rural hospitals for the accom­modation of tlie people, anil coolly argues the pro­priety of maintaining them by a tax levied indis­criminately on all dwelling-houses within the col­ony. The proposition appears to have met with opposition.—N. V. Herald, June 20.

LATEST NEWS FROM BRITISH GUIANA.—Files of the Royal Gazette and other papers, from Brit­ish Guiana, to June, have the following :

Business continues in a deplorably dull state, es-pecially among dry goods merchants, and in pro­visions, sales can only lie effected to a limited ex­tent. Breadstofls are firm, and flour slightly un­proved.

Two ships had arrived from India with Coolies, and one from Sierra Leone with Africans. The number of Coolies imported was 570—of Africans 202. The bark Montezuma, from ork, ar-ri veil at the port of Demerara on May 29th.

The new Admiral, Earl of Dundonald had ar­rived out on board the line-of-battle-ship Wellesly, in good health. Vice-Admiral Sir I rancis W. Austen was to embark on board the nag-ship Vin­dictive, and sail for England ori the 5th list.

A scheme has lately been started in Berbice for the purpose of Irving how cheaply land may be sub-soil drained for sugar cultivation, and, as a necessary consequence, the use of brute, instead ol manual labor,in the operations of agriculture.

The late Governor was about to leave lor Eng­

land. _ —

BRITISH OATH OF OFFICE.—In the British House of Parliament, on the 1st inst., Lord Jolin Russell gave notice that he llould, on the following Monday, bring in a bill to amend the oath required from members on taking their seats. This amend­ment is to strike out the words " on the faith of a , JI0-

An Old Chronicle of the City. The Abbé Leseur lived in the same century

with the sad-fated Maria Henrietta—the extolleit ofBossuet—the beautiful sister of Louis XIII. lie-was curate of the Church of St. Mederic, or, as it is now called, St. Mery, which stands upon the cor­ner where the dirty Rue des Lombards crosses th« Rue St. Martin-—a corner around which more blood was spilled iu the days of the last Revolution than in almost any other quarter of Paris. It is a queer old Gothic building, with rich tracery aliout it* windows ; but the w alls are stained with the damps of three or four centuries, and the outside is heavily scarred by the bullets that flew around it in 1*32-

The people who say mass at St. Mery to-day art* of the vilest population of the city ; the beggars who loiter at ils ste|>s are the most w retched of lieggars; and the priests who assist at the wor­ship at St. Mery are, if one may judge from their looks, the worst of priests.

It was different in the time of the good Abbé I-eseur ; for then there were rich houses even along the Rue St. Antoine, and noble lords and ladies came to say their prayers at the shrine of St. Mederic.

The Abbe was dozing one evening, for he had stayed later than was his wont in his confessional box, when he was aroused by the rustling ol a dress just beside him. Turning his eyes to the grating through which he hail listened to the confessions of his backslidden people, he saw the delicate, je w­elled hand of a lady clinging to Ihe liars. The Abbé put his head nearer to the grating, to see who was the owner of the fair hand. ' He saw a light, graceful form, and presently met the eyes, bending earnestly on his own, of the lovely Mademoiselle-d'Estral, daughter of the powerful Baron d'Estral— she who had been long tlie sweetest lamb ol Iii» flock.

Now it had been some time rumored in the city, and the rumor had come lo tlie Abbe's ears—-for there w ere gossips then, as there are gossips now— that the beautiful Isabel d'Estral was bound by her father's oath to marry Chevalier Verhais.

" Methinks it is somewhat late for Mademoi­selle," said the Abbe. " What can she wish at such an hour !" " Your blessing, Father," said the girl, firmly. " It is always yours, child ; but tell me first why

at this hour ?" " 1 want your blessing ; there ix no time for words;

why 1 dare not tell," "Then, child, 1 dare not hies» y^u." " And you will not?" " 1 cannot"—-and the Abbé heard the slep of

Mademoiselle moving from the confessional. He opened his box, and, overtaking her before she had reached the door, drew her into one of the »id» chapels which may yet be seen each side the great aisle of St. Mery.

" Mademoiselle,'' said the Abbe.solemnly, you have some strange purpose in your thought. Is it right that it slay unrevealed !"

The form of the daughter of d'Estral tremble^ under the touch of the Abbe.

it strange 1 want your blessing, good rather, to-night is my last on earth V

The Abbé trembled in his turn. " It cannot be. " Itmust be," said the d'Estral, " > ou know th»

Baron^-that he does not yield." " And you will not obey, child Î" " Never ; you know the Cliey^lier Yf*rl!ftls--V!'l|!f

do you ask " And the nuptials " Are fixed for to-morro\v night," " Child, I pan serve yot|." " With your blessing, Father," " Nay—not yet ; 1 wjll conceal you whsrt* not

even the powerful Riiron cap find you." Mademoiselle hesitated a moment-— then lifted th«

hand'or the Abbé to her lips. The Abbé threw his clofik oyer her, »nd thoy

passed out. " s Along the ditp streets^-there were no lamps

then—they passed, keeping close in the shadow of the houses. Many people inet them ; one only hail knownjor saluted the Abbé. Nope knew, or seemeil to know, Mademoiselle.

Turning into a dark by-way, out of what 1» now the Rue St. Antoine, they stole cautiously iu th« direction of the frowning towers of the Basti le, At length the Abbé stopped at a low door in an abut« ment of the outer walls, and leading his charge through a low, dark passage, left her in a little room at the end, in the guardianship of an old woman, his foster-mother. •

Two days thereafter it was noised through, the city that Isabel d'Estral, the beautiful daughter of the Baron of the name, had suddenly disappeared tlie night 'before the one set for lier marriage with the Chevalier Verhais. The Baron had marie for many days unsuccessful search and vain inquiries in every direction—lie had gflèred rewards for the smallest tidings, and had given descriptions of the person of his daughter. At length there appeared one who had seen a female figure, of the form des­cribed, passing along the Rue St. Antoine at a lato hour on the same day upon which Mademoiselle d'Estral disappeared ; and he further testified that she was in company with a man in the dress of a priest. Another gave testimony to having seen the curate of the. Church of St. Mederic on the even­ing in question, and in company with a female; and, what was doubly suspicious, the curate himself had been recognized in the Rue St. Antoine. None had ever before suspected the Abbé Leseur of wrong-doing. The Archbishop summoned him to appear at Notre Dame.

Two persons appeared, who swore to the fact of seeing the Abbé Leseur walking with a lady in the Rue St. Antoine, upon the evening of the disap-pearance of the daughter of the Baron. There was, however, no evidence to identify this lady with Mademoiselle Estral. Still, to the surprise of all, the Abbé frankly avowed that the person with whom he had been seen was none other than the missing daughter of the Baron. He would tell no­thing more.

The Baron was powerful both at courtaud in the old palace of Nptre Dame. The next day, the Abbé liseur was shown his dungeon in the Bas-tile. Al intervals,for a month, he. was urged to re­veal the hiding place of Mademoiselle, but he stea­dily refused every solicitation.

A year passed away, and the Abbé was Mill in his dungeon ; a new curate sat in the confessional stall of St. Mederic. Meantime the Chevalier Ver­hais bad gone out of the kingdom—still, nothing was heard of the lost Isabel.

Three years after, and there had been great changes at the court; the Baron was no longer powerful ; a new governor was set over the Bastile, and it was crowded with prisoners of state. Both the lost daughter of d'Estral and the Abbé, were nearly forgotten.

A lad came one evenine, and demanded to see the old Abbé Leseur ; and w hen the turnkey came to close the cells for the night, he asked 10 stop with the Abbé. There was little care of such a prisoner, and the lad stayed in the cell.

An hour after, when it had grown dark, the turn­keys in the great hall of the castle were startled by a piercing shriek. They searched the cells and the dungeon of the Abbé was found empty; but out of the window was hanging a broken lander of ropes, and below there appeared something moving upon the edge of the fosse.

They ran down with torches: they found the poor Abbé crushed to death by the fall. The lad had just strength enough to say the curate was in­nocent and fainted. They tore open his doublet, to give hirn air, and found, to their astonishment, that it was a woman. They put the torches close to her face, and one of the by-staiiders cried out that it was Mademoiselle d'Estral. The prior girl opened her eyes at the sound, seemed recalling her sense«, uttered a faint shriek, and fell dead upon the body of the Abbé.

The remains of the poor Abbé were buried in the cloisters of the ol.I palace that stood behind Notre Dame ; and, if it is not removed, you can still read upon a slab in the |iavement of the Church of St. Mary the name of Isabel d'Estral.
