A LESSON FOR JURORS.
A ju dge, who lately travelled the north
west circuit of Ireland came to the trial of
a cause in which most of the local consn-
quenccs of certain demagogues in the
neighbourhood were concerned ; it was a
case of a landlord's persecution against a
poor man , his tenant , for assault and bat-
terry committed on the person of the pros-
ecutor,by the defendant, in the preserva-
tion of his only child ,an innocent and
beautiful little girl from ravishment. When
the poor man was brought into court the
prosecutor appeared and swore most man-
fully to every article in the indictment. He
was cross examined by the Jurors, who
were composed of honest tradesmen and
farmers. The poor man had no lawyers
to tell his story ;he pleaded his own cause
he pleaded not to the fancy, but to the
heart. The jury found him not guilty.
The court was enraged ,& the surrounding
spectators, gladdened to exultation ,uttered
a shout of applause. The Jud ge told the
jury they must go back to the jury room
and reconsider the matter ; adding, he
was surprised they could presume to re-
turn so infamous a verdict. Thejury bow-
ed, went back and in a quarter ofan hour
returned, when the foreman, a venerable
old man , thus addressed the bench ;"My
lord in compliance to your desire, we
went back to our jury room ; but as we
found no reason to alter our verdict we
return it us before not guilty- We hear
your lordshipsextrordinary language of re-
proof we do not accept it as properly or
warrantably applying to us. It is true my
lord, that we ourselves, individuall y con-
sidered in our private capacities, may be
poor & insignificant men,therefore in that
light , we claim nothing out of this box
above the common regards of our humble
but honest stations ; but my lord assem-
bled here as ajury, we cannot be insensi-
ble to the great and constitutional impor-
tance of the department , we now fill ; we
fee/, my lord that we areappnintfid ns you
are, by the law and the constitution , not
only as an impartial tribunal to judge be-
tween the king and his subjects the offen-
ded and offender, but we act in a still
greater confidence, for we form as a jury
the barrier of the people against the pos-
sible influence, prejudice, passion or cor-
ruption of the bench. To you my 1ord,
meeting you within these walls,I, for my
own part, might possibly measure my
respects by your private virtues ;but the
moment I am enclosed in this place, your
private character is invisible ; for it is, in
my eyes, veiled in your official one, and
to open conduct in that only cun we look .
This jury my lord , does notjn this bus-
iness, presume to offer to that bench, the
smallest degree of disrespect, much less of
insult *
, we pay it the respect one tribunal
should pay to another, for the common
honor of botfar ¦This jury, my lord did
not arraign that bench with partiality,
prejudice, infamous decision, nor yet with
influence,passion, corruption , oppression ,
or tyranny—no we looked to it as the
mercy seat of royalty, as the sanctuary of
truth and justice. Srill, my lord, we can-
not blot from our mjntls the records of
our old school books, nor erase the early
inscriptions written on our intellects and
memories. Hence w&inust be mindful
that monarchs and judges are but fallible
mortals, that tyrants have sat on thrones,
and that the mercy seat of morality, and
the sanctuary of justice, have been pollu-
ted by a Tassillian, a Scraggs, and a Jeff-
ries. [Here was a frown from the bench.
Nay, my lord^am a free born subject
of Ireland, a member of the constitution;
nay, I am now higher, for I am the repre-
sentative thereof. •
I therefore claim for myself and fellow
jurors, the liberty of speech ;and if I am
refused it here, I shall resume it nt the
door of this court house, and tell them
why I am delivering it in this place.—
[Here the bench assumed complacency.]
I say my lord we have notliimg to do
with your private character , we know
you are here only in that of a jud ge .and
as such we woull respect you ;—you
know nothing of Us but as a jury ; and in
that situation we should look to you for
reciprocal respect,because we know of
no man,however high his title or his rank
in whom the law or the constitution
would warrant an unprovoked insult to-
wards the tribunal in whom the people
have vested the most dearest , nnd most
valuable privilege they possess. 1 before
said, my lord,that we are here met, not
Individuall y, nor do we assume pre-emi-
nence , but in the sacred character of a
jury, we should be wanting in reverence
to the constitution itself if we did not

regards it. We sit here, my lord sworn
to give a verdict according to our con-
sciences,and the best of our opinions, on
the evidence before us. We have in our
minds, acquitted our duty as honest men.
If we have erred we are answerable, not
to that bench, nor to the king who placed
you there,but to a higher power the kino
OP KINO S!"
The bench was dumb ,the box silent ;
but approbation was murmured through-
out the crowd ;—and the poor man was
discharged.
To illustrate the extraordinary virtue
and independence disp layed by the above
jury, would require more than ordinary
talents ; suffice it to say, that it ought to
be instilled into the mind ,and the lesson
engraven on the heart of every man , that
he may be prepared for that exulted sta-
tion.

This publication has now been estab-
lished more than a year, and the objects
proposed ,and the course pursued , are
two well known , to require a word from
us on that subject. Our only design at
present is to solicit that increase of pat-
ronage which we trust our work de-
serves,and which we shall continue our
endeavours to merit.
Testimonials in favour of the Constel-
lation are dail y returning upon us, in
the shape of numberless requests forex-
change from our brothers of the press, in
flattering notices of its quality, and copi-
ous extracts from its pages. But with all
these demonstrations of regard which de-
light the car and please the eye, some
more tangible proof of admiration—a
proof which especially commends itself to
the sense of feeling, in the shape of silver
dollars or bank bills , accompany ing the
command—' Send me your paper !
'—
would be most acceptable.
In saying this, we would not be under-
stood,as complaining of a want of patron-
age. On the contrary, we are bound tc
say it is very flattering, and is steadil y on
on the increase. But like a man who im-
patientl y watches the growth of a young
and thrifty elm , which is to afford him
shelter and comfort, we wish it to increase
faster.
The form of the CONSTELLATION
was changed at the commencement of the
present volume, from the folio to the quar-
to, which renders it convenient for preser-
vation and binding. It is also printed on
a larger sheet than during the first
year. With these improvements and the
engagement ofan additional Editor of ac-
knowledged talent , we cannot help think-
ing our paper at the low price of three dol-
lars ,as well worthy of patronage as any
other now before the public.

THE FIRST STEAMHOAT.
It may surprise many of our readers to
learn , lhat the first Steamboat which ever
floated upon American waters, originated
in its design and accomplishment , with a
native of the Connecticut Valley. In
1785,John Fitch, a native of East Wind-
sor, Conn, conceived the design of app ly-
ing steam-power to propelling vessels,
but being indi gent in his circumstances
and meeting with innumerable obstacles,
solicited Congress to aid him in his de-
sign,but scepticism and doubt prevailed
over his solicitatations , and assistance was
denied ; not being discouraged, he suc-
ceeded in forming a company in Phila-
delphia, and after unwearied exertions,
his first rude attempt was launched into
tin; Delaware , in the year 1789 ; his ed-
ucation had been imperfect , but his strong
mind and habits of industry assisted him
in perfecting his boat ; the idea of wheels
had not occurred to him ,but oars, work-
ing in frame were substituted , and his ex-
periment was tested.
Fitch was regarded as an enthusiast
and a visionary man , and many looked
upon his attempt with ridicule and cold-
ness, but his success, propitious thus far,
was to be met with humiliating misfor-
tunes ; liis IJoat completed wit/i the fixed
belief of its final success, sailed for Bur-
lington 20 miles, nnd as she approached
the wharf , the Boiler burst. Chagrined
and mortified she was towed back to the
the latter city, and after unweared efforts
a new boiler was procured , and she again
sailed for Burlington , but for some cause
she only made three miles an hour, and
the expense of procuring another machin-
ery, being too great his friends were dis-
couraged , Fitch disheartened , and the en-
terprise was abandoned. The boat was
left to rot at the docks.
. lhus it will be seen that the efforts of
genius and cnterprise ,if unaccompanied by
wealth, too often suffer and languish , and
frequently are abandoned and lost to the
world , from the scepticism of the public
mind with regard to improvements and
inventions of doubtful utility ; Fitch de-
pressed in spirit , wearied with unappre-
ciated exertion and oppressed by creditors
was seized with the Yellow Fever, am
died in 1793 ; he continued in his faith
unshaken to the last ,that sleam boat nav-
igation would finally be successful, and it
was only from want of pecuniary resour-
ces, that he did not complete what was
left for the triump hant genius of Fulton to
accomplish. A friend has furnished us a
little genealogical history of Fitch and
his ancestors, which may be relied on as
accurate ;Joseph Fitch who settled early
in Northampton , wns great grandfathet to
John Fitch,the subject of the above no-
tice, and projector of the first Steam
Boat ;John's father lived in East Wind-
sor, Conn, whose name was Joseph ; he
was second cousin to Thomas Fitch ,
Governor of Connecticut from 1704 to
Ij6l. Ebenezer Filch, who now resides
at Hartford was first cousin to John , who
would be 88 years of age if he was now
living. So it appears, the first Inventor
of Steam Boats had his early origin in
the neighboring village of Hatfield.—IV.

Carria ge of Live Stock on the Rail-
way.—On Thursday last the Railway
Company began to convey a new class of
passengers. On that day forty nine Irish
pigs quitted Liverpool in one carriage,
and arrived safely at Manchester after a
most noisy journey. The respectable
quadrupeds evidentl y did not like the new
mode of travelling, und passing throug h
the tunnel made an outcry which ' echoed
through the hollow dark abyss,nnd star-
tled all within hearing. Since that time
upwards of three hundred of the tuskey
herd hnve made the same j ourney, being
probabl y the first set of pigs that ever
travelled in a locomotive since the crea-
tion of the world. The fare of a pig is
eighteen pence, being not quite half the
fare of a pig driver. The Company will
begin to carry cattle very shortly, sev-
eral commodious carriages having been
fitted up.—English pape r.
Intelligence of Birds.—A gentleman a
few doors west of us relates the following:
—A son of his, in ihe early part of the
season, put up a cage in his garden , inten-
ded for the blue bird. Soon after it was
completed , a pair of wrens paid it a visit
and being pleased with the tenement,took
possession, and commenced building a
nest. Before however the nest was com.
pleted,a pair of blue birds arrived—laid
claim to the cage, and after a hard battle,
succeeded in ousting the wrens, and forth-
with completed a neston a plan of their
own. But the male wren was a bird of
spirit,and not disposed to submit tamely
to the injury , some days after , watching
his opportnnity when his antagonist was
away, he entered the cage and commen-
ced rolling the eggs out of the nest. He
had thrown out but one, when the blue*
bird discovered him and with loud cries
made an immediate attack . The wren
sought safety in a neighbouring currant
bush,and by his activity in dodging about
among the branches and on the ground ,
succeeded in eluding his enraged adver-
sary. The bluebird gave up the chase,
and returned to examine the condition of
the nest. The egg had luckil y fallen on
a soft brd , and was not broken. And
after a carefu l examination , returned it
safely to the ne&l.—Caiskilt Recorder.
There was a frost in Eng land on the 6th
of May—the thermometer , in several pla-
ces fell to 20,being G degrees below the
freezing point. The accounts from vari-
ous parts of the country state that this
frost has done serious damage.
A Frenchman having a violent pain in
the breast and stomach , went to a physi-
cian for relief. The doctor inquiring
where his trouble Jay, the Frenchman
with a dolorous accent , lay ing his hand
on his breast , said " Vy sare, I have one
very bud pain in my pormanlca u." He
had confused the sound between it and the
chest.
Recipe.—A new discovery to prevent
Bugs and Worms from destroy ings vines.
Loosen the dirt about the vines, an d scat-
ter a drachm of sul phur in each hill and
then work it in by slightly moving the
earth. This has been tried and found an
tiTiictual protection for vines against all
kind of bugs and worms, thoug h both are
so numerous at this season of the year.
Sullivan Mercury.
Boarding school.—The New York
Constellation says—Young ladies should
never be sent to u boarding school. It is
Wad enough for boys to be congregated
together by hundreds , under one roof, but
to young ladies the consequences are most
pernicious. There, they must learn to
put off that delicacy of feeling, that mai-
den modesty, which like the sensitive
plant ,shrinks from contact with others.
They assume a boldness of manner, a
forwardnes of address, at once display ing
& unnatural. There, the worst passions of
the human breast arc roused into action :
envy, vanity, jealously and hatred. The
amiable qualities of the heart arc neglec-
ted and forgotten. There domestic fire-
side enjoyments lose their attractions ;
and pomp, show, affectation ,coquetry and
love of excitement take their place.
How to p lease your f riends.—Go to
India , stay there 20 years, work hard ,
get money, save it, come home—bring
with you a store of wealth , and n diseased
liver,visit your friends, make n will, pro-
vide for them all—then die—what a pru-
dent , good, generous, kind hearted soul
you will be.

Mr. edit or—
As I am a constant attendant on pub-
lic worship, a short time since I went to
meeting as usual, nnd you may jud ge,
what was my surprise and astonishment,
when I beheld un ignorant, unqualified
youth, a mere stripling, occupying the
pulpit of our house of public worship.
Comparing himself to St. Peter, and the
rest of the Apostles; and other ministers
(those who differ from him in leligious-
creed) to the high Priests and Jews, who
opposed the work of reformation. As
be was considered an intruder, he had
been forbidden to preach in said meeting-
house, and to this he evinced great dissat-
isfaction, saying he had been forbidden to
preach in the temple,&c. But, sir, the
fact is this, the rev'd divine that would
be, is no less a character, than n reformer
or one who has taken to himself a name,
which I shall question whether it should
be applied to him, and if it is, I cannot
see the reason why it should, for his fruits
(nnd it is by their fruits ye shall know
them) do not show unyflhing like to ref-
ormation, but on thecomrary, we see him
crowding himself, into other people's
meeting-houses, and sowing the seeds of
discord and endeavouring to break up the
Society. Preaching at other men's ap-
pointments, and this he has some trouble
to effect. An observer, will accordingly
see him in the pulpit, an hour or more be-
fore the usual time of service,and as soon
as he can collecttwo or three hearers,he
begins his lingo or pretended service,and
when the regular hour for service to com-
mencearrives,the minister who expects to
preach for his congregm\on,flnds to his ut-
ter astonishment, his pulpit occupied,by a
man of little reputation, who has set him-
self up to be a preacher of the Gospel.
Denouncing every domination , except
his own, (the regularArgyman does not
escape, even in the Mwse where he has
preached for years, to the satisfaction of
those who have attended on his ministry,)
without being abused with as much scur-
rility as is possible to be made use of.
But sir, let us inquire, who this great
character is; is he a gentleman ? no ;—
is he the son of a gtttllemun ? we doubt
it; and for these reasons ; first, because
he does not know what belongs to good
manners 5 secondly, his deportment does
not bespeak the gentleman, or a good in-
habitant ; but , as grange as it is true,the
divine (that would be) has succeeded
in making a few dupes by his intrigues,
but they are generally weak minded , who
are exactly under the control of their
wives, (they are not the only ones) that
attempt to speak in public , put them-
selves in an attitude ,where they can have
the management of their husbands mouths.
"Oh,"exclaims one, "that my husband
only had my tongue, for he cannot talk
half fast enough with his own." This,
Mr. Editor, is a brief history of the con-
duct of the people who style themselves
reformers, and if they continue to prac-
tice their tricks and cunning among us,
they shall hear nenin from Expositor.
