It is difficult to conceive of such a human devil as Cenci, her unnatural father is represented to have been; a Borgia could not mate him! But, though driven to mad ness by his cfuslty, and the suspicion of his incestuous passion, Deatriee was neither de- filed, nor goaded to murder. Mcth her moral and physical endurance was nothing short of miraculous ; it was the injured exasperated wife, her step mother. who alone incited the assassination of the monster. Yet thc whole family—his wife, two sors and his daughter—were executed together, after having endured horrid tortures to wring from them ali a confession of participation in adeed, w eno at least of the euffering party w ‘norant of, until arrested on sus- pone So great was the excitement of the toman populace against the condemnation of Beatrice, that on her way to the scaffold three attempts wero made by concerted bands of yourg ion to rescue her from the officers’ hands. On the eve of the fatal day she sat meditating her doom sointently, that for some time she did not notice a young man who had bribed the jailor to admit him in the cell, for the purpose of making a sketch of her. Her appearance at this moment is thus described : ‘Beatrice had risen from her miserable pal let, but unlike the wretched inmate of a dun- geon, resembled a being from a brighter sphere. Her largo brown eyes were of a liquid softness, her forchead broad and clear, her countenance of angelic purity, mysteriously beautiful. Around her head a fold of white muslin had been carelessly wrapped, from whence in rich luxuriance fell her fair and waving hair. Profound sorrow and recent vodily anguish imparted an air of touching sensibility to her lovely features.’’ Suddenly turning, she discovered a stranger, seated, with pencil and paper in hand, looking ear- nestly at her; it was Guido Reni. She de- taanded who he was and what he did there The frank young artist told his name and ob ject, when, after a moment’s bi tion, Beat- rice replied : “Signor Guido, your graainame and my sad story may make my portrait in- teresting, and the picture will awaken com. passion if you write on one of its angles the word tznocent.’’ Thus was birth given to an inspired picture, which, to contemplate, is it- seli worth a visit to Rome; ‘which, once seen, haunts the memory a8 a supernatural mys- tery—as the beautiful apparition cf sublime- ted auffering.

It was eb that he had taken a dislike to one of the boys, apd had dismiezed him from school for an undue cause— for “kissing the girls.”’ The rejoinder is, that the act was done after school hours, in the hall, and that the master “needn't have made so much fuss about it, ‘cause he set the example, and tried to do jist the same thing hisself!’’ This completely turned the tables. The stern commissioners considered that if it was right to dismiss the boy for kissing the girls in the hall, it was equally proper to dis- miss the master for “‘trying”’ to kiss the girls on the stairs, the assertion that he did so “try”” being sustained by competent testimony.—<A/- bany Argus A Scarite Porsontxe Case —In the trial, before the Circuit Court, Boston, of Captain Lendholm, of ship Josephine, for assaults upon his crew, some “78 rp hegee are develo; =: It appears that dari ie from > eatin ke Boston, posi of prey ao crew caused a certain powder to be put in the Cap- tain’s coffee, which produced , and thet the Captain, eupposing the crew intended to poison him, resorted to the severe modes of punishment from which the indictments origi - nated.

There seems to be consider- able doubt as to whether it was poisonous or not, but the opinion of the physicians indt- cated that if poisonous, it was an animal poi- son, possibly extracted from serpents. Tae Crepucity or THE Staves —One of the editors of the Courrier des Etas Unis. writing from Montgomery county, Tenn , says of the slaves who have been engaged in tne recent conspiracies : ‘ The credulity of these poor people is such that, in the belief of the whites who excite them, they imagine that Col. Fremont with a large army is waiting at the mouth of the River Cumberland until the night of the 234 or 24th of December has arrived. Then all this army will help todeliver theslave:. They have been struck by the sudden swelling of the river, and attribute this circumstance to the great assemblage of men and ships at its mou'h. Certain slaves are so greatly imbued with this fable, that I have seen them smile while they are being whipped, and have beard them say that Fremont and his men can bear the blows they receive.
