It was not in crowded saloons that .Air. | m " i u . r _..r i._ L-rawioru cuuiu mua .uuy hivli v us uu cr wished to meet frim?as a dear and long esteemed friend. JTe therefore invited him into the country, and fixed on a morning for na his breakfasting with him in asocial and t*a{ domestic manner. . The only company invited to meet him ^ at Mr. Crawford's house, was a family living ^ ( on the adjoining farm, intimate friends, as well as near neighbors. Judge \ , the Comptroller, was to bring Layfayetle . out in his carriage, while his son and pri. vate secretary were to follow in another. When these arrangements were made known by Mr. Crawford to his family, pa some difficulties were started. " We have but one parlor, and that we must breakfast in." " That is of no consequence," re. 5 plied Mr. C. "The company can sit with me in my chamber until breakfast is rea- ua, <*y." (th(; " But it is so small it will not hold one ; wi half the company." at 1 "Well, the weather is delightful; they | C(j can sit in the piazza, or walk about the I . , grounds." _ j 44 Rut. nana.' observed one of the daugh. i ' ? . i ! F ters, " we have neither our plate or china here; nothing but our Liverpool sef" , " Far more suitable, child, for this house, < than the china or plate woiiid be." ! SJJj u La, papa, I do not believe Gen. La- j n)n fayette could eat with steel forks." | V0I " True," answered Mr. Crawford ; " I . of do believe you must send into the city for ,j;s our silver forks. I believe th y arc indis- }1C pensable." esc " And the silver dishes and waiters, j t'.)r papa." I c0| " Pshaw!" interrupted the father, " all i wa that would be nonsense." " Dut," observed the neighbor lady, who j y0, happened to be present, " I presume you j ja(] will send for a French cook." < pin "Indeed,I will do no such thine." said ! ? 1 the good lady ot the house. " My fine \ firicd chicken, and corn bread, are better I ]J in themselves, and will be greater rarities to | tai him, than any dishes the French cook could ; va prepare." ! an Mr. Crawford sat smiling at the prolong, j tcl cd discussion, on similar points, between i tje the ladies, but settled the matter by saying, j m 4 4 My dear, let the breakfast suit the house ; j *n the plainer the better. Lafayette is coming , ' to visit his old friend,?not the Secretary \ v.( of the Treasury." 0"n And plain the breakfast was, as any j American farmer need to give ; but at the j same time as excellent and abundant as ' s0 any Virginia planter could desire?. And i pa every one knows what a Virginia break- j tj1( fast is ; of what a variety of meats, (nc- W( ver forgetting fried chickens and ham) and bread and cakes of all kinds, that are made 1 jn of wheat, Indian meal, or rice, I scarce- ! j]C ly believe a Scotch breakfast, or a; French dejeuner a la fourchette, can ex- ! ceed it. The morning was as bright as uncloud- | * ? +\. cd sunshine, a blue sky and green carin , rc could make it; the atmosphere was almost I sparkling, and the spirits were exhilarated ^ bv its freshness and elasticity. j ^ The little company, consisting of Mr. 1 Crawford's family, and that of his neigh, i lor friend, were sitting in the piazza, en- .. joying the morning air and the scene, when the barouche and four and the attendant \ , carriage, drove into the grounds. Mr. C. i advanced to the steps of the piazza, with s0 his wife and eight children close around j " him, and received Lafayette, not as the fr' guest of the nation, but as his old familiar friend. The General threw his arms * round Mr. Crawford's neck, pressed him to ; c> his bosom, and, a la Francaisc, kissed his 1)( cheeks. Mrs. Crowford and the children j ^ were then introduced, and individually and ; t'1 cordially greeted, when a general introduc- j m tion followed. j J1 Mr. Crawford led-the way into bis chant- Ie w nnrt inok his oldeasv chair. An arm \ v< UVI J v chair was offered Lafayette, but spying J st . out a tow nursery chair that stood by the w hearth, lie drew it close to Air. Crawford, n< and sitting down by his side on his low seat, took his hand, and looked up in bis face in j a fond, familiar manner, which only those j di who liavo seen Lafayette with his much be- U! loved friends, can form an idea of?so ca- st ressing, so affectionate. ! tl The mistress and her female friends . hi withdrew to the breakfast room ; the een. : oi tlemcn walked out in the piazza ; and the S friends were left to enjoy a tctc a tcte, after tl: their long and eventful separation. it The breakfast was served, the company bi surrounded the hospitable board. ? Now," st thought one oi the ladies, who kept a di- a< ary, " now shall I hear conversation worth ci recording ; I shall have an almost sublime tl ?at least on interesting page to my dia. 1 si ry." She not only opened her ears, but I her eyes, that she might drink in tho sense : U of every word that fell from the great man's ; V Vps. Well, and what did she bear ? No- 1 a ling ihat was very wise or very witty, it i inst be acknowledged ; nothing that would c EFord matter for a record sue'1 as she ex- 1 scted. i " Will vou have tea or coffee, Gene- I tl?" * 1 " Tea, madam?tea, if you please. I)o { an remember, my dear Crawford, what i tcellent tea we used to get from May ? c fell, my friend, May still lives in Rue de t ?, where he lived when you and I got a ir tea from him.

It is excellent." a " At La Grange we have no better ; j, y daughters always churn the butter evy morning at the breakfast table." " At the breakfast table ?" q " ics, Madame, iu a beautiful little Chi- a chum, given thetn by a friend. It is the u shion in Paris for the ladies every morn, j t to churn their butter at table, and so 0 i fashion found its way to La Grange, id it is wonderful with what a variety of t( autiful forms and fancies this pretty toy ^ embellished?for these churns are but _ 0When a pause occurred in this chitchat, ^ gentleman present inquired of Gen. La. ^ ; .tte whether Baron Hamboldt was in I c< ris. 9 T 31 "Yes, sir, I left him there, as fond ofi I yv ;h places as ever." " Baron Hamboldt fond of high places ?" j j11 "Just so," replied the General; "he ' 3 climed to the highest he could find, in 11 : sixth story, I believe, of tfie house m icrc lie lodges." The company smiled this play on words. " In fact, he want- P' to get as far above the crowd as he n( jld?out of its nois and tumult, and irefore choose his apartment as high as 10 ? a< Ui*:m A He is a great favorite with his king, I w i 10101," observed Mr. Crawford. ^ !< No sovereign was ever so proud of a K( jject,"answered the General. "He has w ide him his high Chambcrlum, and when, 31 :i remember, Crawford?when the King ol Prusia was in paris, he would never ^ pense vith his attendance, so proud was c< of him. But tlie Baron, when he could sc :ape and retreat to his solitary room, and c< ow off his robes of office, felt himscll L mpleteiy happy. The good Hamboldt ai s never meant for a courtier." al At last the breakfast was over; the tli ting gentlemen accompanied the young pi lies in a ramble through the grounds, and w ding a swing suspended from a branch of m ilgL amusfid ihniusclves With SW'inxr. lii r, until the carriages were announced, la ifayette's time was limited.

Clark and Silas Butler. This was an action to recover damages Dm the defendants as common curriers, r the loss of sundry horses, wagons &c., ^ liich were on board the ferry boat Jack- . n, when she was sunk last summer by nning in collision with the steam boat oston, in the East river. It was en- . savored to be shown that there was ncg;cncc an the part of the defendants, and ,'idcnce was adduced, from which it ap>ared that the occurrence took place c hile the ferry boat was on her first trip j iat morning and that it was made at a ( uch later hour than usual. Some of the N laintifts' w itnesses also deposed that when s aving Brooklyn the ferry boat moved t Dry slowly, and when she was about to r art, the ferry master made observations f hich tended to show that the boat bad j at got up sufficient quantity of steam.? ? 1 reply to this, however, the ferry master ( aposcd that the boat being late was an or- j inary occurrence, and although he bad f sed the observations imputed to him, to ( isfy the impatience of the passengers, i ic boat went off as well as usual, and in 1 is opinion she had her ordinary quantity J f steam up when she left Brooklyn.? | everal witnesses were examined as to I ic condition of the ferry boat from which i appeared that although she was an old 1 oat, and bad formerly been a horse boat, < ic was nevertheless as strong and as well 1 hipted for a ferry boat as most of the oth- < r ferry boat on the river, and had been 1 loroughly repaired a few months before 1 te was lost. { In relation to the occurrence, it appeared ] > have been the result of pure accident. 1 Hicn the ferry boat was about half way ' cros* the river. sbo saw the Boston com- ' ng down the river toward her and in or- h ler to aveid a collision with her, the ferry n joat altered her course and turned her head n 'p the river, and her broadside towards Sew York. The Boston came between c ler and New York, and when nearly op- f1 )0site to her, sheered a little from the shore u n order to to avoid a small boat that was n :oming out. This movement of the Bos^ J on brought her suddenly into contrctwith . i strong tide, which propelled her towards 11 he ferry boat, and although her engines rerc stopped as speedily as possible, her P iow struck the laboard side of the ferry ls oat, and sunk her almost immediately. It was contended on the part of the deendants, that in the first place, the own- P rs of a mere ferry boat cannot be held lia- ,in le as common carriers; and socondh. &1 liat they were not guilty of neligence, Ul nd that the occurrence was the result of l( !. ~ i-1 iieviiciuit; utciueui. Amount of damages claimed, 8650. , The Court in charging the jury said: 0 ^he questions of law involved in this case* re of so nice a character, that thev wilT*? ndoubtedlv be reviewed by another Court. ? t is however my duty to give you the law n the subject. Common carriers arc persons who habi- | rally carry goods, and get payment for t oing so. The doctrine relative to com- ge ion carriers, applies only to the carriers t f property, but not those who carry per- QI >ns. Sloops sailing between Albany and a* few York, tow boats and steamboats, are aj immon carriers as they carry our goods ad baggage for hire. The rules of law hich apply to property and passengers, re different, If you go on board a steam- w aat, and that your person is injured, you ^ ave an action on account of it, but you m iust prove negligence, and if you do, you cc ive a right to recover. But if your pro- 0j erty is lost, it is not necessary to show h( Pgligence; it is sufficient to prove the loss tit (your property, and unless it has Deen th st by means of public enemies; or the th :t of God, such as lightning or a gust of th ind, you can recover for the property el lough you are unable to show any negli- 0 mce.?These are the principles of law pi hich apply to common carriers and which w -e in accordance with the common law cz : England, & the statute law of thisState. of mong the class of men called common pe irriers, all elementary writers have clas- ht id ferrymen. They must be therefore lu insidered as common carriers, until the in egislature alters the law on the subject, p< i event which docs not appear likely, as in pi 1 the alterations which they have made w ley have left that untouched. If it was c< roper that such should have been the law T hen we had only sail boats, it is still ki ore necessary now that we have steam- di aats. and making ferrymen subject to tiie fo w as common carriers, ami iinhlo* under 111 2rtain enactments, for injury done to per>n or property, must have a beneficial tl( fleet, not only as regards the community w t large, but on themselves also, as for w leir own interest they will take care to w eep good boats, manned with the lest ai ten, and the most skilkful engineers. Applving these principles of the law to i I tr ic case before you, you win consoer whether the loss was occasioned by the < ct of God or the enemies of the country; *!' ut surely suppositions arc of course out 11 f the question. The property was lost sl y two boats coming in collision. Itmay 0 e that the Boston was in fault, and that ^ he struck the ferry boat on purpose, but . ven that will not excuse the ferrymer, if hey are common carriers, and I havs no icsitation in telling you they are. I deem it due to the defendant to jay, hat there is no question of fact for you to ^ lecide on, it is entirely a question of aw, ^ nd you have only to say how much the _ diantiffs are entitled to. You will of ^ ourse do justice to the defendants, md p mdcavor to ascertain as near as possble ^ tow much they have a right to pay the ^ daintiffs. tj Verdict for the plaintiffs, $625.

T>, 1 fOlll U1C DLLll* lillUTiirji ix> HUII^IUUO ;uuguiiuv< q MEMORANDA OF FOREIGN TRAVEL. $ BY R. J. BRECKINRIDGE. r It is difficult to fix a precise date to the r iommeiicoment oftliat period of declension n pure religion, which during the last con- r ury was observable ever all the earth ; and ^ vhich, especially towards its close, relap. ;ed into almost universal infidelity or her. :sy. It is probable that we should rather egard these sad catastrophics as being so ar isolated in eacli country as to have jcculiar causes and separate dates, as well is diverse manifestations in each ; agreeing )nly in the general fact of forsaking God, ind in the special one of wandering far ^ rom him, in proprotion as they knew little )f his truth before. The Catholics of Italy ire exhibited, by all witnesses, and especial- J y in the personal memoirs of the Bishop of ihstoia, as sunk into the lowest condition of * pollution and superstition?tiioseof France iccamc a horrid model of ferocious athesrn. The Episcopal church of England j became essentially heretical?taking its ^ )wn articles as the rule of judgment?and j rvhile its clergy openly exceeded the men < }f the world in " sumptuous living," they J ^reached, (when they preached at all,) Af- r ninian, Pelagian, and Arian errors. The established church of Scotland died, and ^ piety went out from their midst, leaving Dnly a barren orthodoxy and a cold externa! Jcccncy of life. In the United States we f felt the same withering influences, and ex- ] libited the same varied results. To tf iorth, Unitarianism grew up while in th niddle and southern states Deism becani lie common sentiment. The previoi ondition of Massachusetts made itcertaii larch away from God she would he Socir ?n ; while that of Virginia, after an equi larch forced iier into condition of mor easonable buttless religious skepticism iven the mercies of God lavished societie 1 such conditions, blessed as they were i le geaerals points, were liable to unusut erversions, differing according to the es ting conditions. Thus a wide and tru wival of religion in New England endec > a lementable degree, in all sorts of meta hysical heresies?which still disturb thi linds of men ; while in the west, the sam< ifts were perverted into extravagant am inatural system, regarding social life hich are still exhibited among those callei shaking quakers." There is a great principle at the botfon * all these varying results?a principle liversal in the providence of God, as in jenced by. or influencing leium in iritual dealings with mankind. The con tion in which we are, is the uniform basi: 'that which is to follow. The influence )plied, of necessity produce some resuli id whether good or bad, it is akin to th< ate on which they acted. The gospel it If either melts or hardens, and the eterni before us will assume, in its most glorious most aggravated aspect, no other char :ter, to each separate spirit, than the etern developement, perhaps, ofthat with whicl emerged from its state of trial, into etor *>' . As with each separate individual, so als< ith communities, the beginnings are mon stant from the final result, than we com only imagine. I suppose that the fina tuse, humanly speaking of that awful stati * society in France, which obscured witl )rror the real benefits of the first revolu )n, is to be sought at least as far back a c revocation of the edict of Nantz, mor an a century before its eruption, and tha e brutal licentiousness of that nobles an< erg}', under the regency of the Duke o rtoorta thr? finishincr tnimh. nnd si - ? > Spared the people, that the actual result ere inevitable, under the given state of th< tse.

No spot of earth has exhibited mor 11 .1 _ r..i j i : _r torougmy mis muurmui ucucusiuu ui ic !jion than the republic of Geneva; nor ha nv illustrated more forcibly, at the sam me, the truth of the principles alread ated. For although Geneva has thoi ughl/ shaken ofF the peculiar doctrine hich were so long her glory, the long an lesscd influence which her civil and relij >us institutions had exerted, put her in ondition to make her fall without commc on, without bloodshed?without *he dot uction of public morals, and to preserv fter it, many of those habitudes, of whic te spirit and life were gone. And wht *as not less important, retained her in tatc easily accessible to those previous it uences, which in Geneva, as throughout a 'rotestant Christendom, are repairing tli reaches of Zion, and restoring her lo cauty. I would speak briefly of bol iiese events. [ISSIONARY SOCIETY OF THE M2TH0DIJ EPISCOPAL CHURCH.

"There is often more of the [coquette town in an affected plainness than in a wdry finery; she is always clean, without eciseuess or affectation. Her gravity is gentle thoughtfulness that soften* the atures without discomposing them: she in lually grave. "Her smiles are inexpressible. "Her voice is a low, soft music; not rmed to rule in public assemblies, but to larm those who can distinguish a com* my from a crowd; it has this advantage, du must come close to her to hear it. "To describe her body describes her tind; one is the transcript of the other, [er understanding is not shown in the iriety of matters it exerts itself on, but in ie rroodness of the choice she makes. o ? lie docs not display it so much in saying r doing striking things, as in avoiding such' s she ought net to lay or do, "She discovers the right an^ wrong of lings not by reasoning, but sagacity; most 'omen, and many good ones, have a loseness and something selfish in their ispositions; she has a true generosity of jmper; the mo9t extravagant cannot be iore unbounded in their liberality, the lore caatious in the distribution.

"She has a steady and firm mind, which ikes no more from the female characteri tan the solidity of marble does from its oiish and lustre. "She has such virtue as makes us value le truly great of our own sex; she has all ie winning graces that make us love even le faults we see in the weak and beautiful f hers.
