It comprises 2,200 acres ; about one moiety of which is arable, and the improvement exhi- bited by a considerable proportion of which strikingly denmon- strates its capacity for a very high degree of fertlity from the use of marl, which abounds in various convenient points. The balance is in timber and pasture. The buildings of every descrip- tim are sufficiently large and commodious, the site beautiful, and the neighborhood scarcely surpassed in Virginia; and, although not exempt from that class of diseases usually incident to tide- water, this objection loses much of its force in the consideration that they are brief in their duration, mild in their character, and that a refuge, convenient and of a security which the experience ofmany years has proved to be almost absolute, is afforded in the vicinity of the Rappahannock Academy or .the town of Port I oyal, between which it is equi distant two and a half miles. The only condition required of the purchaser will be security for the punc- tual payment of the interest upon such amount as he may choose to leave unpaid. Possession given when desired, and the premi- ses and terms shown, in my absence, by my manager Mr. Jeter, or my neighbors, Philip Lightioot or John Taylor,'.Esqrs. JOHN H. BERNARD, may 11-w6mcp Port Royal, Caroline county, Va. P. S. Admonished that the above is not sufficiently taking to invite that inspection to which he would rather refer such details as are sometimes set forth with much pomp; and with a view to give to the objection stated only its due prominence, the following is subjoined. In a period of nearly thirty years no single instance is recollected of disease at all referable to climate, terminating fatally either in the family of the subscriber or those of his mana- gers; neither amongst the negroes, with the exception of a few children and two house servants (recently purchased) some twenty years ago. A house in the town of Port Royal (to which the estate is adjacent) beautifully situated on the river, long the residence of different members of his family, whose health has at no time sus- tained the slightest interruption, would be included with the above. Few establishments in this county combine more of comfort and embellishment, or more varied attractions, and such as would only be relinquished for paramount considerations. may 31 J. H. BERNARD HEAP BOOKS.-P. TAYLOR has on hand a large and valuable collection of Books in every branch of Litera- ture, Science, and Art, Law, Medicine and Surgery, Theology, History, Botany and Agriculture, Classical Literature and Trans- lations, Poetry and the Drama, Geology and Mineralogy, Chem- istry, Mathematics, and all other of the Practical Sciences, which he offers for sale at extremely low prices-many of them at cost, some of them at less than cost, and in every case at the low- est price at which the same can be purchased in any nf the North- ern cities. Purchasers ordering from a distance may rely on finding this to be the case. The advertiser purchases little from the North- ern booksellers, but chiefly at the trade sales, (wholesale auc- tions,) where they lay in their supplies, and at the same prices with them. He is able, therefore, to sell at as small an advance as any bookseller any where in the United States, and willing to do so. This is known to all those who have taken the trouble to ascertain the fact. Foreign editions he imports direct from London and Paris, buying them for cash in advance in those cities, and they are not sold for lower prices any where in the United States than in his establishment. A good collection of French books will be found with the ad- vertiser, to which additions are constantly made. Also, a few of the best authors in the Spanish, Italian, and German languages, with the best books of instruction in each, while on the subjects of History, Naval and Military Science and Service, Geology and Mineralogy, Currency, Finance, and Legislation, and on Engi- neering, Architecture, and Mechanics, in all their various brsnch- es, as good collections are probably not for sale in the United States as those which may be found at his store. Orders from a distance, it may he relied upon, will be promptly attended to, and upon the same terms as if the purchaser were upon the spot. Uka, Stationery, and Periodicals, or any thing else, imported to oer from London end Paris. july 18-cp SANDS'S SARSAPARILLA. MPROVEMENT in whatever regards the happiness and welfare of our race is constantly on the march to perfection, and with each succeeding day some new problem is solved or some profound secretrevealed, having an importantand direct bear- ing over man's highest destinies. If we take a retrospective view over the past twenty years, how is the mind struck with wonder! What rapid strides has science made in every departmentof civil- ized life, particularly in that which relates to the knowledge of the human system in health and disease I How valuable and indis- pensable are the curative means recently discovered through the agency of chemistry How does the imagination kindle and our admiration glow at the ingenuity, the near approach to the stand- ard of perfection of the present time I Through the elaborate investigations of Physiology, or the science of life, and the pa- thology of prevalent diseases, much valuable practical knowledge has ben gained. In consequence of becoming acquainted with the organization, the elements of the various tissues and struc- tures of the system, remedies have been sought after and discov- ered exactly adapted t) combine with, neutralize, and expel mor- bific matter, the cause of disease, and substitute healthy action in its place. The beautiful simplicity of this mode of treatment is not only suggested by the pathology of diseases, not only grateful to the sufferer, but perfectly in consonance with the operations of nature, and satisfactory to the views and reasoning of every in- telligent reflecting mind. It is thus that Sands's Sarsaparilla, a scientific combination of essential principles of the most valuable vegetable substances, operates upon the system. The Sarsapa- rilla is combined with the most effectual aids, the most salutary productions, the most potent samples of the vegetable kingdom; and its unprecedented success in the restoration to health of those who had long pined under the most distressing chronic maladies, has given it an exalted character, furnishing as it does evidence of its own intrinsic value, and recommending it to the afflicted in terms the afflicted only can know. It bas long been a most important desideratum in the practice of medicine to obtain a remedy similar to this-one that would act on the liver, sto- mach, and bowels with all the precision and potency of mineral preparations, yet without any of their deleterious effects upon the vital powers of the system. The attention of the reader is respectfully called to thie follow- ing certificates. However great achievements have heretofore been made by the use of this invaluable medicine, yet daily ex- perience shows results still more remarkable. The proprietors here avail themselves of the opportunity of saying it is a source of constant satisfaction that they fire made the means of relieving such an amount of suffering. NxWARK, N J. DECEMBSn 13, 1842. Messrs. Sands: Gentlemen: Words cannot expressed the gratitude I feel for your treatment to me, a stranger, suffering under one of the most loathsome diseases that nature is capable ot bearing. The disease with which I was afflicted commenced with inflammation of the eyes, in the year 1836, which caused almost total bliindness. For this I was treated and finally relieved, but the remedies were such as to cause the development of a scrofu- lous affection on my left arm near the elbow. The pain extended from the shoulder to the end of my fingers, and for two years my sufferings were beyond description. I tried various remedies and consulted different physicians in New York, and amongst them the late Doctor Bushe, who told me the disease of the arm was caused by the large quantity of mercury taken to cure the inflammation of my eyes. My sufferings continued, the arm enlarged, tumors formed in different places, and in a few months discharged, making ten running ulcers at one time; some above and some below the elbow, and the discharge was so offensive that no person could bear to be in the room where I was. I then applied to another distinguished physician, who told me amputation of the arm was the only thing that could save my life, as it was impossible to cure so dreadful a disease ; but, as 1 was unwilling to consent to it, he recommended me to use Swaim's Panacea freely, which I did without deriving but little benefit. For three years I was unable to raise my hand to my head or comb my hair ; and the scrofula now made its appearance on my head, destroying the bone in different places, causing extensive ulcerations, and I fear- ed it might reach and destroy the brain ; the head swelled very much, accompanied with violent pain : numerous external reme- dies were recommended, but they did no good. About a year sinco I was taken severely ill with a swelling of the body from head to foot, so that 1 was entirely helpless. The doctor advised me togo te the hospital, for he did not understand my case. For the last few months I had been afflicted with a severe pain in both sides, at times so hard I could scarcely get my breath. A hacking cough constantly annoyed me, and this, combined with other maladies, rendered me trtly miserable. Such, gentlemen, had been my situation for seven years of my life, when I com- menced the use ef your Sarsaparilla ; but as my case was con- sidered hopeless, and the near prospect of a speedy dissolution seemed inevitable, I felt but little encouragement to persevere. The persuasion of friends induced me to try your medicine, which in a few days produced a great change in my system gen- erally by causing an appetite, relieving the pains, and giving me strength. As success inspires confidence, I was encouraged to persevere. My pains grew easier, my strength returned, food relished, the elders healed, new flesh formed, and I once more felt within me that I might get well. 1 have now used the Sar- saparilla about two months and am like a different being. The arm that was to be amputated has entirely healed-a thing that seemed impossible. I can scarcely believe the evidence of my own eyes, but such is the fact; and it is now as useful as at any period of my life, and my general health is better than it has been for years past. Health I what magic in the word, how many thousands have sought it in foreign lands and sunny climes, and have sought in vain I Yet it came to me when I had given up to die; and as I feel the pulsations of health coursing through my veins, my whole heart and soul go forth in fervent gratitude to the Author of all our sure mercies that he has been graciously pleased to bless the means made use of. Truly have you proved yourself the good Samaritan to the afflicted; for next to my Creator my life is in- debted to you, or rather the use of your invaluable Sarsaparilla. The value of such a medicine is countless beyond price-money cannot pay for it. I have been raised from death, I may say, for my friends and myself thought it impossible 1 could recover. And now, gentlemen, suffer me to add another proof, certified, too, by my friends and guardians, as a just acknowledgment of the virtues of your health-restoring Sarsaparilla. That the af flicted may also use it,'and enjoy the benefits it alone can confer, ia the heartfelt, fervent wish of their and your friend, MARTHA CONLIN. I know Martha Conlin, and believe what she states in this do- cument to be perfectly true. JOHN POWER Vicar General of New York, Rector of St. Peter's Church. Given, at New York, this 14th day of December, 1842. I know Martha Conlin, and have known of her suffering illness. tJOHN DUBOIS, Bishop of New York.

I will cheerfully give any particulars in relation to hier case to those who may wish further information. Sr. ELIZABETH, Superior of the Roman Catholic Orphan Asylum, Prince street, N.

Alderman 10th Ward ofthe city of New York. Martha Conlin has lived in my family the last thirteen years, and I hereby certify the foregoing statement made by herself is correct. MARY B. LLOYD, No. 604, Broad st., Newark, N. J. WONDERFUL EFFECTS OF SANDS'S SARSAPARILLA IN NORWICH, connN.) Read the following from Mrs. William Phillips, who has long resided at the Falls. The facts are well known to all the old re- sidents in that part of the city : Messrs A. B. Sands & Co.: Sirs : Most gratefully do I em- brace this opportunity for stating to you the great relief I obtained from the use of your Sarsaparilla. I shall also be happy, through you, to publish to all who are afflicted, as 1 lately was, the account of my unexpected, and even for a long while despaired of, cure. Mine is a painful story; and trying and sickening as is the narra- tise of it, for the sake of many who may be so surely relieved, I will briefly yet accurately state it. Nineteen years ago last April a fit of sickness left me with an erysipelas eruption. Dropsicalcollections immediately took place over the entire surface of my body, causing such an enlargement that it was necess, ry to add a half yard to the size of my dresses around the waist. Next followed upon my limbs ulcers, painful beyond description. For years, both in summer and winter, the only mitigation of my suffering was found in pouring upon those parts cold water. From my limbs the pain extended over my whole body. There was literally for me no rest by day or by night. Upon lying down these pains would shoot through my sys- tem and compel me to arise, and for hours together walk the house, so that I was almost entirely deprived of sleep. During this time the erysipelas continued active and the ulcers enlarged, and so deeply have these eaten, that for two and a half years they have been subject tobleeding. During these almost twenty years 1 have consulted many physicians. These have called my dis- ease-as it was attended with an obstinate cough, and a steady and active pain in my side-a dropsical consumption; and though they have been skilful practitioners, they were not able to afford my case only partial relief. I had many other difficulties, too complicated to describe. I have also used many of the medicines that have been recommended as infallible cures for this disease, yet these all failed, and I was most emphatically growing worse. In this critical condition, given up by friends, and expecting for myself relief only in death, I was, by the timely interposition of a kind Providence, furnished with your to me invaluable Sarsa- parilla. A single bottle gave me an assurance of health, which for twenty years I had not once felt. Upon taking the second bottle my enlargement diminished, and in twelve days from the 8th of Octoberwhen I commenced taking your Sarsaparilla, I was able to enjoy sleep undressed by night, as refreshing as any I ever enjoyed when in perfect health. Besides, I was in this short time relieved from all those excruciating and unalleviated pains that had afflicted my days, as well as robbed me of my nights' repose. The ulcers upon my limbs are healed, the ery- sipelas cured, and my size reduced nearly to my former measure. Thus much do I feel it a privilege to testify to the efficacy of your health-restoring Sarsaparilla. A thousand thanks, sirs, from one whose comfort and whose hope of future health are due, un- der God, to your instrumentality.

WASHINGTON HIGH SCHOOL for YOUNG GENTLEMEN.-The subscribers having been in- duced to believe that, notwithstanding the numerous schools now in the city, a scholastic institute, which should offer to young gentlemen peculiar advantages for acquiring a knowledge atonce sound and practical of the Latin, Greek, French, and Spanish languages, and whose advantages for instruction in Mathematics, Belles Lettres, &o. should be inferior to those of no other, would meet with support and encouragement, have resolved to unite their energies and abilities in an effort to establish in Washington such an institution. Of their qualifications for the accomplishment of such an enter- prise, and of their competency to conduct a school of this charac- ter in all its departments, they would prefer that parents should judge Irom actual experiment and personal observation, rather than from any description of their own. To induce parents, then, to entrust to their care, for a limited time, their sons or wards, with a view to the experiment alluded to, they have published a prospectus embracing a full view of their modle of instruction and discipline, of the course of studies to be pursued, and containing terms, testimonials, &c. To this prospectus, copies of which may be procured at Mr. Farnham's bookstore, they respectfully call the attention of pa- rents, and beg leave only to state that a period of nearly twenty years has elapsed since they completed their studies at their re- spective universities, and entered upon the duties of that profes- sion in the practice of which they have been constantly engaged ; that this office was originally assumed by them, not as a tempo- rary measure, not as a means of support while waiting or prepar- ing for some other station, nor as a last resort after a failure in other projects or pursuits, but as their first and unbiassed choice ;- that it has since been practised, not because it presented to them fairer prospects for fame or emoluments than other vocations to which they might have devoted their talents and acquirements, but simply because they preferred this profession to any other.

FOR iM NATIONAL INTILLIOEICER, Mess. EnITOis: Having recently seen in your paper of May 18 a communication relating to the climate of East Flo- rida, dated St. Augustine, (E. F.) May 1, 1843, signed" A Physician," the writer of this article, having had abundant experience of the effects of the climate on the human consti- tution, asks a plae in your valuable paper for the purpose of noticing the numerous erroneous statements contained in Physician's communication. I may now be stated (says Physician) without the fear ' of refutation that, in salubrity of climate, in tfrtility of soil, Sin valueof productions, and in the facility with which its pro- s duotions can be transported to market, East Florida ranks 'foremost of all the Southern States." The present remarks will be confined to one item of the above quotation, salubrity of climate. The great salubrity of this climate (continues Physician) is now incontrovertibly established by the data which a most harassing war of seven years' duration affords. Our army in Florida during this period averaged about 6,000 men. These men had been gathered from every clime; they march 'ed in every sewon; they bivouacked in every district; they were subjected to such hardships, privations, and exposures aS are most likely to produce disease; and yet, notwith- Sstanding all this, the proportion of deaths which occurred in the Florida army (including those killed in battle) during the first four years of the war (the most mortal period) was as but one to two, compared with those of the southwestern o division of our army in which the troops were stationed in comfortable quarters I This important fact is proved by -statistics in the Surgeon General's office, and was officially , reported three years ago by Surgeon General LAWsoN." Is East Florida as healthy as represented by Ptysician 'V It is proposed to examine this question and submit it to the latest of documentary evidence. The reports of the Surgeon General in 1839 and 1840 having been appealed to, a liberal ose will be made, in the discussion of this question, of the annual reports of the Surgeon General during the existence of Indian hostilities; but let us first examine the situation of she "southwestern division of our army in which the troops Were stationedd in comfortable quarters " Forts Gibson and Smith, on the Arkansas, have always ten notoriously unhealthy. The former, characterized by the Surgeon General as an "exceedingly unhealthy position," was the rendezvous for the troops intended'to act on the southwestern prairies in the summer of 1834. It is not ne- cessary to follow out the arduous campaign of that year. The following, briefly, were some of the principal causes of the severe sickness and great mortality. Nearly all the troops were composed of newly enlisted recruits from the North, and they were on hard duty in the whole of the previous winter, encamped in tents during the intensely cold weather of that season, the thermometer at one time falling to 8 deg. In the next summer they were on kard service on the prairies, the thermometer ranging from 90 to 110 deg., and at one time to 116 deg. at Fort Gibson; through the whole year they were destitute of vegetables, and the common ration of the soldier particularly flour, was of inferior quality; in short, there have scarcely been more causes of disease superadded to the insa- lubrious atmosphere of a malarial district than in this section of country in 1834. A short review of the services rendered by this division of our army for a series of years will be sufficient. Let us com- mence with 1832, though for years previous the duties of a soldier on this frontier had been no child's play. In this year (1832) the Black Hawk war broke out, when the troops of the southwestern division, as well as those more immediately concerned, were in motion; in 1833 two detachments went from Fort Gibson, one in pursuit of some Pawnees, and the other to cut roads for the Choctaws : the hardships and suf- ferings of 1834 will not soon be forgotten; in 1835 several expeditions were made from various posts at the west and southwest; and in every subsequent year more or less ser- vice in the field has been performed, in escorting traders and for other purposes. The quarters speak for themselves. On this frontier they are all constructed of logs newly cut from the forest, which in a few years, become a source of disease. Those at For, Gibson at this period (1834) were the worst in the whole army; they were not fit for condemned criminals. At the end of the fourth quarter of 1834, Surgeon Dz CAMP report, ed them as not well calculated to preserve the health of the troops. "Built of perishable materials," says Dr. De Camp, "many of them in the most temporary manner, with small and illy ventilated rooms, the roofs are now worn out, and many of the logs decayed." So long ago as 1833a medical board, of which Dr. THoMAS Laweos (now Surgapn Gene- ral) was president, reported the bad state of thequarters and their entire unfitness for the troops. So much for no duty and "comnfrfable quarter- It thus appears that service at the west and southwest has been in times past no sinecure, and the assertions of Physician are calculated to do great in- justice te this portion of our army. Our army in Florida, it is asserted, averaged about 6,000 men. According to the army medical statistics, the strength of the whole army of Florida during the first three years of the war (1836,-'37,-'38) did not amount at any time to more than 4,478 men, and to so high a number only in the month of May, 183M. The mean strength of the whole army of Florida for the four first years of the war is exhibited in the following table: 1836 1,345 1837 2,753 1838 3,218 1839 3,160 Aggregate 10,476-average 2,619. During a part of 1840 the mean strength was less than that of the previous year. In the three last months of that year and the first half of 1841 it was rather greater; but at no time did the troops amount to 5,000 men, and the average number during the whole war, making the most liberal allow. dance, was less than 3,000. Let us now look at the Surgeon General's reports. Those for the first three years of the war (1836, 1837, and 1838) contain littleiof statistical detail relating to the Florida army alone, that of 1836 only stating that twenty fatal cases oc- curred in the third quarter at Camp Call, Suwannee Oldtown, "principally from yellow, remittent, and congestive fevers." The reports of 1837 and 1838 do not enter into details con- nected with the troops of Florida ; but this is not essentially important, as the later ones are amply sufficient for the wri- ter's purpose. We now come to the reports of 1839 and 1840-the point d'appuiofall "Physician's" arguments and assertions. It is proposed to examine them in a forthcoming number, to compare the portion on which Physician rests with other parts of the same report, and to notice the subsequent annual reports of the Surgeon General. In my future numbers it will be made to appear, from the Surgeon General's reports and other sources, that the troops in East Florida suffered exceedingly during the whole war from diseases incident to the climate; that the inhabitants were obnoxious to the same diseases as the troops, and from the same causes ; in short, it will be shown that almost the entire peninsula, so far from being healthy) is and will continue to be positively unkhelthy. PHYSICIAN SECOND. A Hoes TuLtaoopE.-Mr. PAINE has furnished to the Worcester Palladium a description of a telescope which he is constructing, the tube being forty-eight feet long and four feet in diameter. This enormous tube, made of Russia iron, is supported on a cast-iron frame like the sides of a heavy gun carriage, and the frame is made to traverse, by means of wheels and pinions, on a circular railway eighteen feet in diameter. The concave mirror at the power end of the tube is forty-six inches in diameter and its focal length is forty feet; the lenses are six inches and a quarter in diameter. Mr. PAINE says: "It is Well known that aberration of rays is the result of a very high magnifying power; and this optical fact has led many to assert that distinct telescopic action is limited to some twelve or eighteen hundred powers; for in order to obtain a highly magnified image of an object, without aberration, a combination of lenses is requisite; and it is evident that the more dense a medium becomes the more faint the reflection ef the image passing through it will appear. The only part of the instrument which we claim as our own is the form and combination of the lenses, which, so far' from being limited by eighteen hundred powers, claims a mag- nifying power of eleven thousand. The mirrors, which are by far the most difficult part of the work, are finished, together with the lenses, and also all the small apparatus."

Scarcely a week passes but some amateur poolet sends us his "compliments" inscribed upon a blank leaf of a volume of verses, of which he begs our acceptance. Several shelves in our library, therefore, are filled with an accumulation of pre- sentation copies, which-ungrateful as the assertion may ap- pear-we have never been able to put to any advantageous use. Coleridge, we believe, was wont to observe, that he never dipped into a book, be it ever so stupid, without deri- ving from it some new fact or suggestion. We, alas, have not been so fortunate with our piles of amateur poetry. We have perused the most readable, glanced at the least practica- ble, in vain, and nothing new has presented itself, even in errors. They all bear abundant evidence that their authors have become inspired by some great prototype; and wherever Byron, Moore, or Scott lead, there they enthusiastically fol- low. To so indiscriminating a pitch is admiration of their fa- vorite masters carried, that, with the most affectionate zeal, they copy even their faults; while, in trying to imitate beau- ties, they too often turn the sublimity of their models into their own bathos. These may seem to our numerous benefactors of poetry- books very hard words; but they nevertheless express what in nine cases out of ten is the truth-we might add, the me- lancholy truth ; for it is with feelings akin to melancholy that we view the masses of misapplied intellectual labor which are ranged upon our library shelves, exhibiting as they do in al- most every volume a certain amount of literary talent, which, had it been bent in a better but humbler direction, would have been of essential service to the individual himself and perhaps to mankind in general. With these views, we would venture ohe or two remarks, by way of warning and advice, to those who have mistaken a taste for the poetry of others for the ability to write poetry of their own. The generality of probationary rhymers appear to be of three kinds: those who have all theyearnings after poetic fame, and possibly some genuine poetical feelings, without the re- quisite knowledge of literary composition as an art to put their ideas in an intelligible shape. Secondly, rhymers of ultra-classical education, who have intently studied the art of poetry, but are not fortunate in possessing natural genius up- on which to exercise it. Thirdly, of the less literate among the middle and upper classes, who have received the ordinary education of gentlemen. The first mentioned section of amateur poets may be well represented by an individual, whom we shafir suppose to be a person in comparatively humble life and has received a plain education. He employs his spare time in reading; and, hap- pening to light, perhaps by accident, upon the works of By- ron, he conceives an enthusiastic admiration for them, and is henceforth bitten with a poetical mania. This develops itself in a constant habit of writing verses, and, though igno- rant of the elements of literary composition, he is soon es- tablished as a poet amongst his acquaintance. Thus, like a certain class of people which shall be nameless, he rushes in "where angels fear to tread." Had he conceived the same enthusiastic yearning after music, he would have commenced his career by learning his notes; if, for painting, he would have begun with the study of drawing; but the poetical as- pirant sets up as a master of his art at once. At the first flight he soars above the commonplace rudi- ments of literature. The dry details of grammar, and the previous practice of prose composition, he considers utterly beneath the high vocation of the inspired poet. He plunges into the middle of things-poetic immediately, and not know- ing his way, soon loses himself in a fog of simile or sinks in- to a slough of incomprehensible jargon. Nor does the mis- chief end here; it extends to his external circumstances. When the victim of supposititious inspiration has collected a sufficient number of his lucubrations to fill a volume, he moves heaven and earth to appear in print. To effect his darling object he dips into his scanty purse to pay his printers, and their supplementary satellites, stationers and bookbinders. Some of the volumes before us show that the most strenuous and painful efforts have been made before the actual goal of publication could be reached. One of our volumes-mani- festly commenced with an unusually limited capital-contains two sorts of paper, which gives rise to the suspicion that a hard-hearted stationer had stopped the supplies, and that the work was delayed till a more confiding paper-dealer could be found. A second conceals very bad print under smart cloth covers, with Dutch metal ornaments. A third contains a heavy page of errata, with an apology for any other errors which may have escaped what the author is pleased to call his "vigilance." In short, all these volumes present external evidences of having been subjected to trying difficulties while struggling into existence. Their authors have clearly set their lives upon the cast; but what has been the hazard of the die V" Alas! the reverse of what they expected. The golden dreams of fame and fortune which cheered on the poet during his fierce struggles with the press have been reversed rather than realized. Out of five hundred copies not fifty have been sold; perhaps not twenty, perhaps nriot even one. As the greater number of these books emanate from a comparative humble sphere, many an unfortunate youth thus involves his first step in life in serious pecuniary difficulties or severe privations. Some of our readers are doubtless impatient to ask, is the poetical faculty in humble life to be entirely repressed I Our answer is, by no means; but encouraged by proper means and directed to proper ends. The first step for the aspirant to take is to obtain knowledge ; and if he have a spark of true genius, that.he will procure, in spite of every obstacle, as Burns and Hogg did. He will teach himself; he will study the great book of Nature that he may afterwards illu- minate it by his imagination; he will be continually storing up in his mind the great facts that surround him, that he may afterwards spread them abroad to others in a more captiva- ting form than they came to him. To be able to accom- plish this, he will study the elements of his native lan- guage, so as to put words to their right uses, and in their proper places. He will never indulge in the wanderings of mere fancy, but make it subservient to his own experience of nature, that his imagination may impart a strong light and a captivating aspect to truth. He will perceive that to such a purpose all surpassing geniuses have been dedicated. Milton illustrated the great truths of Holy Writ; Shakepeare either drew his inspiration from history-which is the nearest re- presentative of the truths of the past that can be obtained- or, when he engrafted his characters upon fiction, the charac- ters themselves were truths-faithful specimens of mankind, derived from an unceasing study of human nature: Byron's greatest poem, "Childe Harold," may be described as a book of travels in verse, and therefore as a series of facts clothed in the radiant garb of poety. The same may be said of Ro- gers's Italy :" and Thompson's Seasons," perhaps the most charming poem of the eighteenth century, was construct- ed after a patient examination of nature and rural life and scenery. Thus we see that the greatest poets were men who had acquired a considerable fund of information; and who- ever would become a great poet, must tread in their steps, and acquire knowledge. Nor is this a difficult matter, even for persons in humble grades of life. The poems under con- sideration, though they exhibit a very low state of poety in the minds of their authors, show ingenuity, perseverance, and other valuable qualities, which, if applied to the acquisi- tion of some solid branch of knowledge, would doubtless, in that, ensure success. If Ferguson had made verses about the stars, instead of vigorously investigating their nature and positions, so far from becoming a great astronomer, he would have remained a cow-boy, or, what is worse, have sunk into a bad poet. With these remarks we take leave of the mare humble amateur poets, to approach those members of the rhythmatical aristocracy whose elegant volumes grace another division of our shelves. The authors of this part of our collection are evidently in affluent worldly circumstances, if we may judge from the expensive attire in which their muse appears in public. That stage on the road to fame, from the author's study to the half-way house, or publisher's shop, has mani- festly been paved with gold. No struggles appear to have impeded the progress of these handsome volumes through the press; and they form the most brilliant shelf of books in our library. The bindings are elegant, the typography faultless, and the paper hot-pressed. Externally, they revel in all the glories of embossed covers, of profusely gilt edges and backs; internally, "rivers of type flow through meadows of margin;" whilst the matter is hardly less elegant than the manner. Most of the subjects chosen by each section of educated ama- teur poets are above the least suspicion of vulgarity. Their views of the universe, the moon and stars, the soul, immor- tality, paradise, human passion, love, despair, revenge, and all the other subjects patented for poety, are of the genteelest and most delicate kind; so as to be quite proper for introduc- tion into polite society. Whenever an attempt is made to is even more the case than with the humbler class of poetical amateurs; because they have read mere extensively, and have consequently a larger stock ot second hand ideas on hand. And this brings us to consider more minutely the second division of the subject, or the classically learned genera of amateur versifiers, who carry their love of the ancients, so far that they recoil with apparent intention from indulging their readers with a new thought, even if they possess one. Some of the volumes we have looked over are by graduates of uni- versities, and nothing can exceed the purity of their style or the correctness of their metres. Hence these ultra classical bards must be regarded as antipodes to the unlettered poets we commenced with. All the sacrifices of the one are made at the shrine of art, of which the other possess none. No- thing can exceed the propriety of the epithets, the formality of the alliterations, the exactitude of the rhymes. The prosodyy is in general mathematically true, the numbers ap- pearing to have been told off into feet by means of rigid scan- ning. Art with this section of aspirants is every thing; nature and enthusiasm nothing. If, from the flint of their mathematical minds, a spark of poetical fire be accidentally struck out, it is sure to be smothered by the wet blanket of a musty prosodial rule or philological difficulty. Still, it is pos- sible to read such works, because they exhibit at least one essential of poetry; while the lucubrations of their antipodes, possessing none at all, are decidedly unreadable; for which reason we have not been able, with satisfaction to ourselves, to quote specimens of their muse. We now pass, thirdly, to the well-informed amateur poets- the mob of gentlemen who write with ease." Their poems are usually printed for private distribution, and sent round to their friends, from whom the donors generally receive expres- sions of praise, that often embolden them to send copies to the critics, which perhaps accounts for the number ef pri- vately-printed volumes in our collection. Should the com- mendation bestowed by private friendship be echoed by the press, a bolder step is taken. A new title-page is printed, a new preface written, and the work is regularly published. In excuse for so great a venture, it is generally stated that it was made at the suggestion of several discriminating, but per- haps too partial friends." This discriminating partiality is not often shared by the public, for we never heard of a genuine second edition of such works. The authors, wanting both the rough vigor of illiterate, and the artistic knowledge of classical versifiers, usually produce a sort of drawing-room poem, which has in it nothing to provoke praise, censure, nor indeed any thing but sleep. This class is made up of dilet- tante travellers, soldiers, and naval officers, who, having seen strange places, wonderful sieges, or horrible shipwrecks, feel inspired to write poems upon them. On the other hand, there are many tasteless minds who employ their leisure in culti- vating literary pursuits, and in occasionally throwing off an epigram or a sonnet for the amusement of their family circle, who at length tease them into publishing. These are de- cidedly the byst poets of their kind. We cannot take leave of this subject more prettily than by saying a few words on lady amateur posts. Thevolumes which they have done us the honor to forward, we prize and cherish with becoming gallantry. Nor are we less interested with their contents; for, taking them as a whole, we find them infinitely superior to the efforts of our own sex. There are many reasons for this superiority ; so many, and all so likely to involve us in a dull metaphysical discussion, that we have neither room nor inclination to state them. But we may just remark, that surely there is nothing which tends to enhance the graces of woman more effectually than a true taste for poetry, provided it be not indulged at the expense of her or- dinary duties; we say a true taste, because we are sorry to perceive that some of our female friends have mistaken a sickly sentimentality for genuine poetry. Such exceptions are, however, happily few. Finally, we entreat amateur poets of every age, sex, and condition, to study nature, instead of dreaming about her; and when they have acquired the materials of poetry, (know- ledge,) to possess themselves of its necessary implement, (art;) and, provided they are blessed with enthusiasm and genius, they will become good poets. Without at least some of these requisites, they must continue, we fear, very bad ones. The quantity of readable poetry being much greater now than it was fifty years ago, it is correspondingly difficult for a poet to stand out in relief from the mass, and-to make an impres- sion. The spread of education has improved the intellectual taste of the public, which has grown so critical that nothing short of high merit will please. In this state of affairs, we in all kindness would recommend our poetically-inclined friends to turn their mental energies to better account than hammer- ing crude ideas into verses. There is scarcely a district of country which does not offer something worthy of noting down and describing, be it even for private recreation and literary discipline. The Natural History of Selbourne," one of the most pleasing books that was ever published, is exactly of this nature. Now, it is in the power of almost Iecery person to write such a book, though not so cleverly and poetically, perhaps, as the Rev. Gilbert White. Would, therefore, our amateur-poets favor us with works of this class, or the printed result of any branch of useful investigation in sober and sensible prose, we shall not only feel grateful, but do all in our power to advance their views; they would also advance their own ; for, having stored up a fund of knowledge, their imaginations would take a healthy and vigorous tone, their poetical faculties would expand and brighten, and they would become poets in the best signification of that much- abused word.

An interesting meeting tisk place last werk at Rendsburgh of all the editors of newspapers and periodical publicati.ms nol the Duchies of Sleswick abd Holstein. The meeting was held fur the purpose of agreeing upon a petition to the Es- tates of the two duchies, soon to be assembled, to abolish or modify the laws regulating the press. A petition for the en- tire abolition of censorship was agreed upon by thirty-two votes against thirty, which shows that the two duchies, con- taining a population of about 700,000 people, support sixty- two daily papers and periodical publications. This, we be- lieve, is even a.greater proportion than in any part of the Uni- ted States, although the geographers of that country mark the maps of Denmark and several parts of Germany, as well as Russia, with only a plough, which means civilized, and the map of their own happy country with the emblem of a press, which is to express enlightened. The accounts of the markets in the Presidencies and China contain nothing to cheer the expectations of our manufactu- rers, who are in general complaining that the activity which had begun to show itself had again relapsed. The India markets are not, however, overloaded; but there is a want of money at Calcutta, which has had its influence on all des- criptions of property, and each party appears to have conclu- ded his necessary purchases for the season. Besides which the China demand has ceased to be as extensive as naturally took place on the first turn of events following our military successes.-Globe. The general tone of the letters received by the leading houses in town from India varies in no material degree from the commercial summaries given by the Indian press, but in almost every instance there are special instructions given to guard against excess in the shipment of certain specified ar- ticles.-Standard. EXTRAORDINARY LEAP.-On Friday afternoon a most ex- traordinary leap was made by a horse attached to a stanhope. The animal had been left by the owner at Mr. Dobson's door, near Guy's Hospital, without any one to mind him. The horse was frightened by something passing, and started off at a full gallop. At the end of St. Thomas's street is a high gate, with iron spikes three or four inches long on the top. This he cleared without touching it, but was thrown down by the concussion of the gig against the bar. It is wonderful that no lives were lost, as many children were playing about. The horse was only injured in his hind legs. THE MILLBANK PRISON.-In the Millbank Prison act is the following merciful provision : And be it enacted that no convict in the custody of the Governor of the Millbank Prison shall be dismissed from the said prison at the end or other determination of his or her term, if he or she shall then labor under any acute or dangerous distemper, unless at his or her request; and when such convict shall be finally discharged, such decent clothing and such assistance in money or otherwise, as shall be judged proper by one of her Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State, shall be given to such convict. EXTRAODINARY FiSH.-A man named Hawtry, who was trolling a short time since in the Thames, at Clewer, near Windsor, hooked one of the largest pikes ever caught in the river; and after skilfully" playing" with the pike for upwards of an hour and a half, he at length landed it safely on the bank, but not without considerable difficulty, being alone and unprovided with so necessary an aid as a landing net. This enormous fish, which has just been stuffed as a great curiosi- ty, weighed upwards of 30 lbs., and is three feet seven inches and a half in length! Mr. Mills, banker of Lombard street, who was spinning" in the Thames from a punt on Satur- day last, caught, in the course of the afternoon, between Windsor and Datchet bridges, three splendid trout, in beau- tiful condition, which weighed upwards of 25 lbs. A barbel was also hooked and landed near Datchet, two feet ten inches long, and weighing 24 lbs. MELANCHOLY EVENT.-The following is an extract from a letter received yesterday from Gibraltar, dated June 21 : This beautiful bay, I regret to state, has been the scene of a most distressing accident, involving the loss of five lives, Last week a party was formed by some ladies and gentlemen residing here to visit Algesirason the 18th instant, intending, to spend the day there, and to return in the evening. The party consisted of four daughters and two sons of Mr. J. Francis, Miss Cruikshank, daughter ef the Quartermaster of 79th Highlanders, Mr. and Miss Maxted, Messrs. W. and J. King, and Messrs. Crusoe and Elms. They started about half past seven in the morning, from the New Mole, in a ferry boat, accompanied by a boatman and two boys. The weather being rather rough some of the ladies became alarm- ed, and at their request were relanded ; but, unfortunately, Miss Cruikshank, from a desire to see Algesiras, conquered her fears, and remained on board. The approach to Algesi- ras in a westerly wind is very dangerous, and requires great skill and caution, which it appears the people in charge of the boat did not possess; the boat consequently capsized, and the whole party were immersed in the water. The catastro. phe was observed by the masters of two vessels lying near, the British Queen and the Bremidon, both of whom sent their boats to render assistance. They picked up most of the party, but I regret to state that Mr. Elms and one of the boys were drowned, and their bodies are not yet found. Three of the party were conveyed on board one of the above mentioned vessels, and means were resorted to to recover them, which proved successful in two cases, but the third died. Miss Cruikshank and another of the party, I learn, are since dead, making in all five persons who have lost their lives by this unfortunate accident. But for the timely assistance rendered by Captains Evans and Orfeur, to both of whom great praise is due, the whole party would have perished.-Sun. SUNoULAR IMPOSTUaRE.-On Monday a circumstance oc- curred in St. Alban's which caused no little amusement. A young gentleman of dashing exterior took a place in the St. Alban's coach, and gave his name as Lawrence Yeel. On the road down, his fellow travellers, proud of having in their company a son of the noble Baronet who holds the reins of Government, paid him every honor. The youth in return delighted them with numberless interesting stories gleaned in his travels. Drink, of which he partook freely, at last made him more communicative, and he stated that he had run away from college and was going to have a spree. On his arrival at St. Alban's, the news soon spread that a son of Sir Robert was among them, and the people congregated to have a view of him. He continued to drink, until at last the potent poison-quite overcame him," and he was taken to the Veru- lam Armns, where he was comfortably bedded. The land- lady, thinking that she might get into trouble if she harbored him, sent for Mr. Coles, a medical friend, who went to him for the purpose of advising his immediate return. The in- terview, however, convinced Mr. Coles that he was no son of Sir Robert's, but an imposter, and he immediately was given into custody. A private hearing of the case took place at the Town Hall, when it turned out that my gentleman was no gentleman at all, but a lady. She stated that she had es- caped from a nunnery in France with 200; that being nearly exhausted, she was for making her way back, and the disguise was assumed to protect her from insult. Her name did not transpire, nor could it be got from her, and the gene- ral opinion amongst medical men was that she was decidedly insane. On being taken to the Station-house, she knelt dawn and prayed for the poor idiots composing the Common Council, which strengthened the opinion. She was kept in custody only one night, and the inspector walked her out of the borough amid the laughter of the inhabitants. She was left on the road to Northampton, where she expected to arrive on Wednesday. Her appearance is any thing but preposses- sing.- Globe. TAM RACSURN.-The farfamed Hermit of the Ark died on Friday, the 23d ultimo, in the 74th year of his age. He was a man of robust and athletic frame, and of very eccentric manners; many thousands of spectators have been attracted to his solitary cot, which he has occupied since the death of his father, in 1807; at which time he became the sole proprie- tor, He was distinguished for nothing remarkable till the memorable lawsuit, about twenty-eight yeers ago, with a neighboring proprietor, regarding the closing up of a road through his grounds, leading to Holm Head, better known by the name of the Ark, to which, by use and woat, he con- ceived he had a right, and which, by an adverse decision, led him to the strange resolution not to cut his hair, nor shave his beard, nor change his clothing, till justice was done-a resolution most faithfully kept till his death. About two months ago he became somewhat seriously indisposed, and was attended for some time by Dr. Mitchell, of Dalwhirran, and ultimately by Dr. Miller, of Kilmarnock. From the commencement he was apprehensive of-death, and by the advice of a friend was induced, three weeks since, to make a d'eed of settlement, by which he deprived, owing to some for- mer quarrel, the heir at law of the property, but which, he not having survived sixty days, falls to the ground. The rul- ing passion, the love of money, was strong in death. Al- though attended by several clergymen from Kilmarnock, he never manifested any visible change pf mind. Shortly before his death, when asked by a friend to shave his beard, he re- plied, "No I never till I get justice done. His beard, his almost entire stock in trade, was the chief source of his reve- nue, which, by parsimony and avarice, was very considerable, having left 2,4001. besides his property. On Tuesday he was interred in Stewarton churchyard, a numerous retinue as- sembling to witness the foneral,-Ayr Advertiser.

I climbed our little slope to see The great folk pass, and there was he! He wore a small cocked hat that day, And a plain riding-coat of gray. Near him I trembled; but he said, Bon jour my dear; how do you do 7 -He spoke to you, good grandmamma! You say he spoke to you. A year from thence, by chance I came One day to Paris, and I found him Rolling in state to Notre Dame With all his splendid cotrt around him. And how rejoiced the people were To see the hero passing there I And then, they said, the very skies Looked smiling on his pageantries, He had a gracious look and smile, And Heaven had sent an infant boy. -What joy for you, good grandmamma! Oh 1 what a time for joy 1 When foes marched over poor Champagne, He, boldly braving thousand dangers, Seemed singly fighting to sustain The war against the invading strangers. One evening at this very hour, I heard a knocking at the door; I opened-Saints! 'twas he again! A feeble escort all his train. He sat here where you see me sit, And talked of war with thoughtful air. -Did he sit there, good grandmamma I And did he sit just there I I brought some wine at his desire, And our brown loaf I well remember; He dried his clothes, and soon the fire Inclined his heavy eyes to slumber.

Long time they looked for him, and none Would deem he was forever gone; They said, he's sailed beyond the seas, Strange lands shall hear his victories I But oh I how sorrowful I felt When the sad tale was told aright I -God bless you, dear, good grandmamma !

Thecloods which haves, u long darkened the horizon are breaking away; and we have hope, and we think good reason to believe, that the time isat hand when many works which have been suspended in consequence of the great depres- sion in the business of the country will be again resumed, and, we hope, carried to successful completion, and thus renew for- mer confidence in railroads as a means of increasing business as well as for investment of capital. Entertaining these views, the Editors of the Journal are en- deavoring to make it useful to the cause and to those whose Inter- esus are identified with its success. But in order to be able to accomplish their object, they call upon all who are interested in the progress and success of internal improvements to give their aid in sustaining the Railroad Journal-the first periodical estab- lished with a direct view of promoting internal improvements. It has labored long-it does not, however, become us to say with what effect-in the cause; and now, like the cause itself, it asks the united efforts of its friends to carry it triumphantly through. We ask your subscription at $2 a year, in advance; and, if yeu have occasion to advertise in relation torailroads, or railroad machinery, mechanical business, new inventions, or scientific books, we solicit your advertisement at 65 a year, or fifty cents a single insertion for twelve lines ; and we respectfully suggest to railroad compa- nies the propriety of taking a number of copies to distribute among their engine men and mechanics. At any rate we ask your subscription and your hearty co-operation in extending its circulation and in contributing to its pages. The early possession of information in relation to the operation of the different railroads is of great importance to us, and we will thank you to forward to us always your reports, including the declaration of dividends, and the introduction of any new im- provement or article of traffic which has or may grow up in con- sequence of the construction of your road. In short, we desire you to furnish us with any and all information in relation to this vast and growing interest that may be useful to others and to the Journal. And lastly, as well as firstly, though not of least im- portance, we request each present subscriber to send in two or six additional names, with five or ten dollars, and thus reduce the cost of his own subscription and benefit us at the same time. We call particularly upon railroad companies and locomotive manu- facturers and stockholders thus to subscribe. N. B. We ask as a special favor of each railroad company a copy of their present rates for freight and passengers per mile, or through, as compared with 1841, that we may form a table, giving at one view the charges on all the railroads in the United States; and of those companies which have not sent their last reports we solicit a copy.

Liberty and Union, now and forever, one and inseparable." FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, 1843. JOHN B. LAMAR, one of the Representatives elect to Congress from the State of GEORGIA, has resigned. A new election will doubtless be order- ed, at which the Whigs will present a candidate for the purpose solely of defeating the candidate who may be set up by their political adversaries; the ground taken by the Whigs of Georgia being that the election for Congress which has been held by general ticket is void, and of course all supplemen- tary elections which may be made in the same man- ner are void, being in defiance of the act of Con- gress requiring the elections to be made by districts The counties of Nash and Edgecomb, in North Carolina, contain 5,694 white persons over 20 years of age; of .whom 2,631 can neither read nor write. In 1839, when the act to establish common schools was passed, Edgecomb county rejected it by a vote of 1,075 to 165.

The extra session of the Legislature of this State, which commenced on the 10th ultimo, was brought to a close by adjournment on the 26th. It does not appear that during this brief session any law of ur- gent public necessity was passed. A bill for laying off the State into four Congres- sional districts received the sanction of the Senate, S but was lost in the House for want of sufficient strength in its favor to suspend the rules of pro- ceeding to allow of its consideration in that body. It is said, however, that,Vven if this bill had made its way through the Legislature, a majority of whose members were in favor of it, it would have been vetoed by the Governor. A law was enacted providing a summary process for winding up the banks in the State by writ of quo warranto-and another, providing for the col- lection of the revenue of the State, which abolishes the office of tax collector and devolves the duties of said office upon the sheriffs of the several counties. The Southron" of the 26th ultimo thus no- tices the close of the session : "The long agony is over t The people's immortal repre- sentatives have marched up the hill and marched down again, by order of his excellency Governor TILOHMAN M. TUCKER. "Our first impressions in relation to the calling of the Legislature have been strengthened from day to day. We at first believed, and still believe, that the principal objects were to harmonize the Democracy, to sanction the new ticket, and to get certain individuals into nomination for high station. The secondary objects were to pass laws in relation to the Vice Chancellor's Court and the collection of the revenue. They failed to harmonize the Democracy, and made strenu- ons efforts, by way of offset, to create dissensions in the ranks of the Whigs and bond-paying Democrats, by the introduc- tion of a variety of cunningly devised bills, out of which po- litical capital could be made. Such efforts were boldly met and fully exposed, and although the movers were lashed suffi- ciently to make men of ordinary feeling hang their heads, yet they and the village leaders will endeavor to manufacture political capital out of the movements of the wire-pullers of the Legislature. "All of this day and night the two Houses have been at loggerheads. The Senate passed a bill for laying off the State into Congressional districts. The same bill came up for consideration in the House. The rule is that such bills shall lie on the table for one day. Upon a motion to suspend the rule the vote was taken, and, although there was a majority in favor of the bill, yet the House refused to suspend, thus cutting off all chance for districting the State. By way of retaliation, the Senate refused to pass the appro- priation bill. Much ill feeling existed. The Senate was angry because the House was not sufficiently respectful, and the House was equally piqued because the Senate would not pass the spl'ropriation bill. The members of both Houses took good are to secure for themselves their per diem allow. ance. Between eleven and twelve o'clock the Legislature adjourned." ' Mr. ADAMS, on his route homeward from the western part of New York, was entertained in a very handsome manner by the people of Pittsfield and vicinity. He was addressed on his arrival by the Hon. GoaRor N. BRInoC, who alluded, in eloquent terms, to his long and distinguished public ser- vices. Mr. ADAMts, in reply, (as we learn from the Albany Evening Journal,) spoke of the scenes amidst which he had passed his early youth, and of the influence which they ex- erted in forming his character and shaping his purposes. "In 1775," said he, the minute men from a hundred towns in the province were marching at a moment's warning to the scene of opening war; many of them called at my father's house in Quincy (then Braintree) and received the hospitali- ty of Jotn ADAMa. All were lodged in the house which the house would contain; others in the barns and wherever they could find a place. There was then in my father's kitchen some dozen or two of pewter spoons, and I well recollect going into the kitchen and seeing some of the men engaged in run- ning those spoons into bullets for the use of the troops. Do you wonder," said he, that a boy of seven years of age, who witnessed this scene, should be a patriot t" OFFICIAL IMMUMITY.-Judge COccENs, senior Judge of the New Orleans City Court, a short time ago delivered an elaborate opinion upon a case that had been some days under investigation before him.

Freret Alderman of the Second Municipality, who were arraigned for assault and battery, oppression, misdemeanor in office, and false imprisonment-chargei which grew out of an effort on their part to suppress a disturbance at a public house, * wherein one of the disputants, having resisted their authority, was forcibly arrested aad conveyed to the calaboose, and there detained for the night. The Judge says (quoting good au- thority) that the question is not whether the act done might, on full investigation, be foend to be strictly right, but whether It proceeded from dishonest, oppresive, or corrupt motives. Assuming, therefore, from the evidence before him, that nei- ther the Mayor nor the Alderman were influenced by dis- honest, oppressive, or corrupt motives, but wete acting as coanservators of the public peace, by virtue of their official authority, he rules that the testimony does not bring them within the pale of the criminal law; that the main ground for a criminal prosecution does not exist; and that although they may have erred and exceeded the strict bounds of their official duty, still their rectitude of purpose-for such he as- sumes to be their governing motives-will protect them at least from being arraigned at the bar of the Criminal Court. EFRPscrT O' FaarHT.-Robert Mills, of Barneville, relates to the St. Clairoville Gazette that while riding over a high bridge his horse took fright and backed off, falling some six- teen or eighteen feet. He had been laboring under disease for tome time; but, when he got up, unhurt by the fall, every symptom of his complaint had left his body. A person was arrested at St. Louis on the 4th instant on a charge of theft, and admitted to bail in the sum of 92,000. He was a clerk in the store of Mr. Gabriel S. Chouteau. Mr. C. having frequently missed sums of money from his drawer, had placed a loaded pistol in it so as to detect the thief. Soon after Mr. C. left the store, the report of the pis- tol was beard; and this clerk being found on the ground, his -face black with powder, and the money scattered over the fioor, left no doubt as to the depredator. CAUTION TO SPoRTSMEN.-About 9 o'clock last Wednes. day evening as the train of cars from Portland, on the upper route, were a short distance this side of Haverhill, a bullet passed through one of them, breaking a small hole in the glass on each side. -No report of a gun was heard, bat those pre- sent say that it could have been nothing else; and it issuppos- ad that it was the accidental and careless shot of some sports- pian. Luckily no pearson was injured. THE NORTHEAST BOUNDARY. A correspondent of the Bangor Courier gives the following information respecting the proceedings of the commissioners on the frontiers: The six commissioners appointed by the respective Le- gislatures of Massachusetts and Maine to quiet the settlers upon the disputed territory, by giving them deeds under the provisions of the Ashburton treaty, commenced their labors about six weeks since at the upper end of the Madawaska settlement, near the mouth of the St. Francis. They have finished, I understand, as far down as Fort Kent, at which place they have suspended operations, and have adjourned to meet again after the election. They intend to finish their Business in the Madawaska settlement the present year. It will take another year to finish upon the Aroostook. "The commissioners upon the demarcation of the boundary line are now progressing rapidly in their business, and are making up for their delay in the spring. I understand that the survey of the river St. John is nearly completed from. the Grand Falls to the mouth of the St. Francis. A party of purveyors is at work near lake Pohenagunook, and another party has ascended to the headwaters of the St. John. Six parties are at work upon the line between the monument and the St. John, amounting in all to about one hundred men. Two parties are at the north end of the line, two parties at the south end, and the other two near Fort Fairfield. The distance is about seventy-eight miles, and all the parties to- gether advance about one mile each day. They clear out a passage fifteen feet upon each side of the line, cutting down the trees smooth with the ground. The line trees are cut upon the spot, and the stumps left standing. I am told that this line is a very crooked one. In one place there is a square offset of about forty rods. The whole line appears to be a suc- cession of curves, with a general inclination to the westward. I am told that a part of the distance was run through with a pocket compass. It was a great pity that Major Graham's line was not adopted, as that was mathematically straight, and could always be identified. The British Commissioner, Col. Estecourt, appears to be an energetic man and of business habits, and is constantly engaged in hastening the progress of the survey. Some persons asked him how many yeaIrs it would take to finish the survey. He replied that he did not estimate the time by years but in months, and he thought it would be completed sooner than was generally anticipated. At the time the British Commissioner travelled up the boun- dary line on foot at the head of his party, the American Commissioner very comfortably rode up in the stage. A stranger was asking, a short time since, of a Provincial if he knew where the American commissioner was. 0 yes, was the answer, I know very well. He has engaged to carry the mail from Houlton to the Grand Falls. I have seen him driving several times." THE EXTRADITION CASE. After the receipt at New York of the order from the Executive department of the General Govern- ment for the delivery of Mrs. GILMOUR to the Bri- tish authorities, an application was made by her counsel to Judge BETTS, of the United States Dis- trict Court of New York, for a writ of habeas cor- pus in the case,-which elicited from the Judge the following decision : nla the matter of Christiana Cochran, otherwise Gilmour, on ap- plication for the allowance of a writ of habeas corpus: I am of opinion that the 10th article of the Treaty of Wash- ington, concluded August 9th, 1842, is, under the second subdivision of the sixth article of the Constitution of the Uni- ted States, in force as a subsisting law of the land, and is ac- cordingly to be observed and executed by the judicial authori- ties of the country. I am of opinion that a Commissioner appointed by a Circuit of the United States, pursuant to the acts of Congress in that behalf, is, by force of the act of Congress of August 23d, 184%, empowered to perform the functions pointed out by the 10,h article of the said treaty. I am of opinion that it is not competent for a Judge of the United States, in vacation, to revise on habeas corpus the ad- judication of such commissioner as to the sufficiency of the proof of criminality of a party charged before him. I am of opinion that a writ of habeas corpus cannot be rightfully allowed for the purpose of inquiring into the legality of a warrant emanating from the Executive branch of the Government, intended to surrender a person duly committed to a Marshal of the United States to the authorities of Great Britain, under the provisions of the tenth article of the said treaty, before the party shall be thereby actually transferred to and detained in such British custody within the Unit- ed States. I accordingly refuse to allow the habeas corpus prayed for in this case. SAML. R. BETTS, U. S. Judge, &c. Ntw YoRKu, AuousT 12,1843. PERIODICAL PRESS. We copy the following remarks on the Periodical Press of this country from an article in Hunt's Merchants' Magazine" for July, on the Progress of Population and Wealth in the United States in Fifty Years," by Professor TUCKER, of the Univer- sity of Virginia : There is yet another source of popular instruction-the periodical press-which is noticed by the census as a branch of manufacturing industry, and which is exclusively occu pied, not only with worldly affairs, but with the events of the passing hour. It keeps every part of the country informed of all that has occurred in every other that is likely to touch men's interests or their sympathies-volcanoes, earthquakes, tempests, conflagrations, and explosions. Nor, in attending to the vast, does it overlook the minute. No form of human suffering escapes its notice, from the miseries ofowar, pesti- lence, and famine, to the failure of a merchant or the loss of a pocket-book. Every discovery in science or art, every im- provement in husbandry or household economy, in medicine or cosmetics, real or supposed, is immediately proclaimed, as are all achievements in any pursuit of life, whether in catch- ing whales or shooting squirrels, or in riding, running, jump ing, or walking. There can scarcely an overgrown ox or hog make its appearance on a farm, or even an extraordinary apple or turnip, but their fame is heralded through the land. Here we learn every legislative measure, from that which es- tablishes a tariff to that which gives a pension-every election or appointment, from a president to a postmaster-the state of the market, the crops, and the weather. Not a snow is suf- fered to fall, or a very hot or very cold day to appear, without being recorded. We may here learn what every man in every city pays fur his loaf or his beefsteak, and what he gives, in fact, for almost all he eats, drinks, and wears. Here deaths and marriages, crimes and follies, fashions and amusements, exhibit the busy, ever-changing drama of human life. Here, too, we meet with the speculations of wisdom and science, the effusions of sentiment, and the sallies of wit; and it is not too much to say that the jest that has been uttered in Boston or Louisville is, in little more than a week, repeated in every town in the United States, or that the wisdom or the pleasantry, the ribaldry or the coarseness exhibited in one of the Halls of Congress, is made by the periodical press to give pleasure or dtetaste to one hundred thousand readers. Nor is its agency limited to our own concerns. It has eyes to see and ears to hear all that is said and done in every part of the globe; and the most secluded hermit, if he only takes a newspaper, sees, as in a telescope, and often as in a mirror, every thing that is transacted in the most distant re- gions; nor can any thing memorable befall any considerable part of our species that it is not forthwith communicated with the speed of steam to the whole civilized world. The newspaper press is tbu a most potent engine, both for good and evil. It too often ministers to some of our wont passions, and lends new force to party intolerance and party injustice. Incenditque animum dictis, atque aggerat iras." But its benefits are incalculably greater. By communicating all that is passing in the bustling world around us, whether it be little or great, virtue or crime, useful or pernicious, plea- surable or painful, without those exaggerations and forced congruities which we meet with in other forms of literature, it imparts much of the same knowledge of men and things as experience and observation. Its novelties give zest to life. It affords occupation to the idle, and recreation for the indus- trious. It saves one man from torpor, and relieves another from care. Even in its errors, it unconsciously renders a homage to virtue by imputing guilt to those it attacks, and praising none to whom it does not impute merit and moral ex- cellence. Let us hope that it will in time, without losing any of its usefulness, less often offend against good taste and good manners, and show more fairness in political controversy. According to the census of 1840 there were then in the United States 130 daily newspapers, 1,142 issued weekly, and 125 twice or thrice a week, besides 227 other periodical pub- lications. Such a diffusion of intelligence and information has never existed in any other country or age." A SUMPTVARY LAw.-One of the far-famed and much abused sumptuary laws of the Massachusetts C9lony was passed in the year 1651. The Legislature say: "We cannot, but to our grief, take notice that intolerable excess and bravery bhath crept in upon us, and especially among people of mean condition, to the dishonor of our God, the scandal of our profession, the con- sumption of our estatales, and altogether unsuitable to our poiertv." The court ihen says: 'That no person whose visible means does not exceed 200 shall wear any gold or silver lace, or gold and silver buttons, or silk hoods or scarfs.' The selectmen were to take notice of those who in the cost- liness of trir dress exceeded their abilities; especially those that woe rbianda and great bogpts." I THE SUPREMACY OF LAWS.,, It is the duty of every American citizen sacredly to sustain law. Earth has never seen a despot who rode upon a more fiery steed, or swayed a more bloody sceptre, or who trampled upon human rights with a more callous- heart, than Anarchy. It is in anarchy that death on the pale horse may find an appropriate antitype. Law is the essence of the Deity, the genius of the Bible, the guardian angel of humanity. No matter what the public excitement-no mat- ter how intense the irritation, that hand is indeed suicidal that would unlash the bloodhounds of an- archy for retribution. When those furies sweep the streets, like the midnight's howling storm, they are all undistinguished in the object of their desola- tion. Now the brothel is torn to fragments, and now the refined dwelling of piety is sacked and burned. The grog-shop blazes to-day-the temper- ance hall to-morrow. Now is demolished the the- atre-Satan's temple ; and now the church-God's sanctuary. The Catholic priest is hunted by the mob this week, the Protestant clergyman the next. To-day it is this editor who has perpetrated the atrocious crime of expressing an unpopular opinion -and to-morrow it is his neighbor who receives paternal chastisement from these blind furies who have usurped the guardianship of the press, and whom that very press may have warmed and nursed into life and venom. Let, then, the sentiment be as immovable as the eternal granite of the Rocky Mountains, that law MUST BE AND SHALL BE SUSTAINED. Let it be un- derstood that Government has resistless resources which it can and will bring into requisition, if need- ful, for the protection of its citizens. Let every true patriot hold himself a volunteer-a minute-miln to defend Law; and for her defence let him hold pledged life, fortune, and sacred honor. When we contemplate the gathering millions fill- ing our land, the mental darkness and sensual pas- sions of such vast multitudes, the diversity in for- t1ine which industry, talent, and that success which is above all human control, will necessarily produce, the variety of opinions and interests which must prevail, we cannot magnify the importance of sus- taining inviolable law.-Rev. J. C. Abbot. THE STAGE OF LIFE. We have seen a copy of an address delivered at the late commencement of St. Mary's College, Bal- timore, before the Reading-room and Calocagathian Societies, by JOHN H. B. LATROBE, Esq. The address is a felicitous one, inculcating sound senti- ments in a lively and engaging style. As a speci- men of the performance, we copy the introductory portion, which is as follows.-Boston Daily Adv. "It is now many years since, that, with all the anxiety of youthful curiosity, I sat for the first time in a crowded thea- tre, gazing upon the broad unbroken curtain, which with tantalizing immobility continued to conceal, long after the hour appointed for its rising, the world that lay behind it from the gaze of the expectant audience. Unnoticed were the forms of loveliness in the boxes around me. The hun- dred blazing lights that shone from chandelier and girandole served to illuminate for my eyes nothing but "the dark green expanse that shut out from me the future of that evening. The music of the orchestra was all unheeded ; or, mingling with the din of my own thoughts, served but to increase the eager excitement which the eve of a long anticipated enjoy- ment had most effectually produced. At length, when the noisy clamor of others as impatient as myself, and the hurried completion of the scenic arrangements warned the prompter to his duty, the tinkling of the bell, surpassing then in its music to my ears the brilliant overture, once and then again was heard, and with slow and imposing movement the curtain gathered up its folds, and the first scene of Aladdin and his lamp was presented to our view. "There is not one among my hearers who is not acquaint- ed with the Eastern legend upon which this drama has Its foundation and I therefore need not dwell upon the delight of so young a spectator as I then was, to see how easily wealth was acquired and wishes were gratified by the rub- bing of the old lamp, which brought forth its slave to do the bidding of its master. At length the play was over and the curtain fell; but for many a long day afterwards there passed through my waking and my sleeping dreams the gorgeous processions and the fairy scenes of Aladdin and his lamp.i "Years later, and when the boy had grown to be a man, curiosity led me behind the scenes of the same theatre during the progress of a representation ; and I saw for the first time the machinery by which the stage performed its miracles. Rough uncouth men in every day dresses, who used harsh language and discordant oaths, thrust forward the forest or the cliff, the cavern or the palace, or shook the canvass waves, or turned the painted cylinder that played the waterfall, at the bidding of a little insignificant being Who gave his orders in peevish discontented tones from a close confined corner, and who rang, with long and unclean fingers, and with im- patient jerk, the little bell whose sounds had been to my youthful ears almost celestial music. And then, the persons of the drama moved but at his bidding and with his specta- cles far down upon his nose, and his head almost touching the ragged pamphlet that contained the play, he prompted the imperfect memories of the men and women who were murdering Shakspeare for the edification of the public. And then, all behind the scenes took place in a dark unwholesome atmosphere, where untrimmed lamps sent up black wreaths of fetid smoke, that slowly and gloomily ascended to those upper portions of the theatre where turpentine was burned to imitate the lightning's flash, and heavy balls of iron, rolling through long troughs, became, at the prompterts bidding, the representatives of the thunderbolt. I am sure I need not say that if time had not previously modified my early enthusiasm, this visit to the theatre would most certainly have done so. "The application of the foregoing suggests itself. You are all of you, my young friends, anxious expectants of the rising of the curtain which now Conceals from you a world behind it. 'The only difference is, that the world which you are so eager to gaze upon is not, like the other, made up of paint and canvass and tinsel, and filled with mere machines of men and women, but the living thinking world of real life, blazing in the sunbeams or shadowed by the clouds- glorious in its fields and forests and its silvery waters-rich in its sunken mines-richer still in the wealth that man's hand gathers from its teeming surface. The actors on these scenes obey no prompter's bidding. They are their own free agents for good or evil, working out their own everlasting des- tiny. The processions here are not of pasteboard puppets or of ragged idlers; they are of thousands upon thousands gathered together by the ambition or the pride of man. Sometimes they move in the shape of glittering armies; sometimes in garb of peace they commemorate the triumphs of virtue and religion; but in whatever characters they appear, they have all the strong interest of reality. "From all this you are yet as.remote as was the pictured pageant from the youthful visitor of the theatre. But your imaginations are as busy as his was with regard to the view to be exhibited when the curtain shall be lifted up; and you too will require, as he did, to stand behind the scenes, before the true value of all that appeared, at first sight, so gay and captivating can be accurately ascertained. It is behind the scenes, too, that you will in a short time find yourselves; for the period will be brief before you will become actors upon the stage. The drama in which you perform will be one of improvisation, however. There will be no playwright to di- rect your exits and your entrances.' Circumstances operat- ing upon your own free will must control your action; and the catastrophe, under Providence, must depend upon the virtue, the talent, the industry, and courage of each particular individual. You are now, my young friends, probationers for the active business of life." EXTRAORDINARY DZATH.-Last week a child about sixteen months old, son of Mr. Leggett, plasterer, of Springfield, Illi- nois, was drowned in a tub of water standing in the yard. The mother was in the house at the time, and had not missed the child out of her sight more than ten or fifteen minutes; when, on searching for it, she saw its little frock floating on the surface and its head under the water. On removing the body it wasfound to be quite dead. WM G. KNIGHT, a member of the London bar, who ab- sconded in January, 1841, and came to this country with a large amount of money, the proceeds of sundry forged bills of exchange which he sold in London, has been recently arrest- ed in Iowa, by James Young, of the Philadelphia police. MEXICO. By late journals received from this Republic it appears that President SANTA ANNA is seriously occupied in efforts to accomplish important amelio- rations in public affairs. He has published a de- cree directing economical reforms in the organiza- tion of the army, and is otherwise endeavoring to bring,.the expenses of his administration within the revenue. A decree of the 26th June declares, 1st, that all amnesties conceded by the head of the Govern- ment shall only discharge those that are the objects of them so far as they are amenable to political of- fences, without impairing the rights of third parties against such offenders. 2Jly. That the property taken by the mili- tary and others during revolutions shall be delivered up to those legally entitled to its possession, unless the property be of a perishable nature. The political and judicial authorities of the country to whom applications may be made for restitu- tion of property so seized, shall see that justice be done to the parties, and shall be responsible for all damages done to the legitimate possessors whose rights may be clearly estab- lished. A decree anterior to the foregoing, dated Tacubaya, 19th June, regulates the election of members of Congress con- formably to the new political organization of the Republic. Primary elections are directed to be held throughout the Republic on the second Sunday of August; secondary elec- tions on the first Sunday of September; and all the electo- ral colleges are to meet on the last Sunday of the same month, in the capitals of the several departments, for the purpose of organizing preparatory to the election of deputies to Congress and their substitutes, which latter electiofi is ordered for the first Sunday in October. The election of forty-two Senators is to take place on the first day of Octo- ber, by the assemblies of the several departments, in con- formity with the 167th article of the new Constitution. The election of the President of the Republic, according to the 84th article of that instrument, is fixed for the first of November following. This election is also required to be made by the local departments in their primary assemblies, The representatives to both branches of Congress are re- quired to repair to the capital from the 1st to the 12th of December ensuing. The Reginerador of Oajaca announces that a new mine has been discovered in that department. A letter from Topic announces that on the 2d of June the authorities of that city caused to be burnt 257 pieces of unbleached cottons, which were seized at theustom.-house. The costs, fine, and duties paid by the individual who in- troduced it amounted to the sum of 87,000.-N. 0. Courier. MARRIAGES. On Sunday evening, by the Rev. JOHN C.

One-third the quantity of Beef and one-third the quantity of Pork must be packed in half barrels, and contain one hundred pounds nett weight of each, as the case may be. The barrels and half barrels must be made of the best season- ed white oak or white eak staves and heading; if of the former, to be not less than three-fourths of an inch thick ; if of the lat- ter, to be not less than ene inch thick for barrels, and three- fourths of an inch for half barrels, and to be hooped at least three-fourths over with the best white oak or hickory hoops.

EDITORs: I read with pleasure a brief communi- cation in your paper of yesterday touching the fine sailing qualities of our old Washington-built ship, the Columbus; and, before I proceed, will render to you my mite of thanks for the interest you have always taken in giving publicity to every thing concerning the United States Navy; its vast im- portance to us as a commercial nation; its influence abroad, where the many formerly hostile but now peaceful competi- tions with the more nupmerous but not more scientific or skil- ful thunderers of the deep of other nations, always come off most creditable to our own. Besides, when there is a dearth of naval news, and parents and friends are overhauling the various papers of our sea-ports for intelligence of the where- abouts of our numerous craft afloat, and the health and be- havior of their several officers and crews, in vain, here, with the suddenness of a "white squall," we have in the '" Na- tional Intelligencer," as if by magic, in the shape of a "letter from on board" such a ship, the latest possible and most satis- factory history of the present, as well as the recent past, of all her man and measures. Indeed, it has repeatedly appeared to my mind that you were a beeper up" of such matters for the express gratification of the thousand readers of your paper who, like myself, have friefids and relatives upon the great deep; and for such kindness I present you my humble and hearty acknowledgments. I would barely say that, as regards the relative sailing qualities of the ship "Columbus" and the frigate "Congress,"' (which latter vessel is complimented merely en passant by the writer of the letter referred to,) the two ships and another (the Puebla) sailed from Mahon in company on the 11th of November last, and on the 15th the Commodore made signal for the Congress" logo ahead and make out Spezzia Light; immediately the same sail was put on the Congress that the Columbus had, and in four hours afterwards the latter was twelve miles astern!I During the passage from Mahon to Genoa, the Congress passed the Columbus with about half the sail set that the Columbus had; and she would have to taken nearly all sail to keep her station-which was astern of the Commodore. I admire this honorable rivalry of ships and seamen its s'entraident-and am happy to hear that the old Columbus has so much improved in her sailing. Yours, TRIDENT. 1-A stated meeting of the Medical Department of the National Instilute will be held at the Patent Office this even- ing at 8 o'clock. dug 15 MARCUS C. BUCK, Secretary.

On one of the streams there is a large and productive meadow. The improvements are extensive, consist- ing of a dwelling-house, which is large and commodious, a two- story frame building adjacent, a factory within a fewyards of the mansion, with three large rooms and a cellar, a kitchen with four rooms, a number of calins with stone chimneys, two large stables and a large barn, all in good repair and conveniently lo- cated. There are besides the above other necessary out-build- ings. The garden is large, handsome, and productive ; in fine, the subscribers believe that it will well compare with any estate in the county for beauty ofscenery, (commending an extensive and beautiful view of the Blue Ridge and Rapid-Ann Valley,) fertility of soil, salubrity of climate, and convenience of location. The subscribers will also sell on the same day another tract containg 560 acres, lying in the Piney Woods," about four miles from Willis Grove.

R. McCulloch, Esq. in 2 . '.m.. 8vo. In which the articles relating to the United States i.mt '.e re-written and greatly multiplied and extended and adapted to the present con- ditIon of the country and t0 the wants of its citizens. By Daniel Haskel, A. M. late President of the University of Vermont. In 18 or 20 numbers at 25 cents each. Such a work is greatly needed in the United States st the pre- sent time. The existing Gazetteers are generally old and to a degree antiquated. Geography is a science which in its own na ture, beyond most others, is progressive. Changes are constant- ly taking place oIn the condition of the world and of its inhabitants; the various parts of the earth are continually more extensively ex plored ; and to exhibit its changes and the new and valuable in- formation which is perpetually developed requires new works on this subject. The English language has never been adorned by a more valu- able work of this kind than the new and splendid work of McCul- loch. The fullness with which each article is written, the cleoar- ness of the arrangements throughout, and the vast surface travers- ed under each head, and in every department of inquiry essenml to the undertaking, contribute to the production of the most lunit nous body of information concerning geography, statistics, and history, and all matters necessary to their elucidation, that has ever been brought together in a shape so perspicuous and acces- sible. Such a publication, which can be referred to on the instant for any subject embraced in its pages, is indispensable to all li- braries, and must completely supersede every previous attempt to popularize and reduce within convenient limits these various classes of information. The first number of the above is lat issued from the press and may be examined at the bookstore of P. TAYLOR. The work can travel through the mails at the rate of magazine postage only.

It has and will continue to be the aim of the Editor and Pro- prietor of the Merchants' Magazine to avoid every thing of a par- ty, political, or sectional bias or bearing in the conduct of the work-opening its pages to the free and fair discussion of antago- nistic doctrines connected with the great interests of Commerce, Agriculture, Manufactures, and the Currency. The Merchants' Magazine is published on the first of every month, at five dollars per annum, payable in advance. Apply to F.
