A Ventriloquist Treating his Friends to a Serenade of tut-*. There happened to be only foiir bed rooms in the house; the best of course was occupied by Miss Madonna, the second hy Plumplee, the third by Mr. Beagle, and the fourth by the servant; but that ;n which Mr. Beagle s ept was a double bedded room, and Valentino ujcl therefore, to make his election between the spine-bed and the sofa. Os course the former was preferred, and as preference seemed highly satisfactory tu Mr.' Beagle himself, they passed the remainder ol the evening very pleasantly togetber.iand in due time retired. Valentine, on having his bed pointed out to him, darted between the sheets Lj the space of a minute. so» as Mr. Jonas Beagle facetiously ob served, he had but to shade himiu If, and every thing came off; when as he did pot by any means feel drowsy at the time, he fancied that he might as well amuse his companion for ifn f.our or so as not. He, therefore, turned the tiling seriously over in his mind, while Mr. Dea;|e was quietly undressing himself, being anxiousfor that gentle man to extinguish the light before he commenced operations. ‘Now for a beautiful night’s I rest,’ observed Mr. Jonas IJeagle to himself as jie put out the light with a tranquil mind; and u|rned in with a groat degree of comfort. • * Mew ! —mew I” cried Valentijie softly throw ing his voice under the l ed of Mb Beagle. ‘ Hish !—curse that cat!’ c u>d Mr. Beagle, 4 Wemu .i have you out at all events, my lady." And Mr. Beagle at once slipped but of bed, and having opened the door cried ‘hfsh !’ again ern phaiically. and threw his breccias towards the spot as an additional inducement for the cat to ‘ stand not on the order of her ao?ng,’ when Mr. Valentine repeated the ery, and made it appear 10 proceed from the stairs, Mr, Beagle thanked heaven she was gone, closed the door and very carefully groped his way again into lad. •Mew !—nievv !—mew !’ cried, (Valentine, just as M . Beagle had again comfortably composed himself. ‘ What 1 are you there still madam'?” enqui red that gentleman in a highly sarcastic tone, •! thought you had been turned od( madam. Do you hear this witch of a cal'?’ he continued, ad dressing Valentine with vieyy of conferring upon him the honorable office oh Tyler for the timebeing; but Valentine replied with a deep heavy snore, and began to mew again with addi tional emphasis. i ‘ Well, I don’t have a treat evjery day, it is true; hut if this isn’t one, why Ipi out in my reckoning, that’s all!’observed Mj. Jonas Beagle slipping again out of bed. ‘1 doijt much like to handle you my lady, but if did.j I’d of course give you physic !’ and lie * hishiid !’ again with consummate violence, and contitlued to ‘hish!’ Itntil Valentine scratched the bed-post sharply, a feat which inspired Mr. Beagle; with the con viction of its being the distuibir *,f his peace in the act of decamping when he threw the pillow very energetically towards the ijoor, which he dosed, and then returned to his l>ed in triumph. The moment, however he ha I comfortably tuck ed himself up again he missed the pillow he had converted into an instrument of vengeance, and as that was an article without which he could not even hope to go to sleep, he hud of course to turn out again to fetch it. * How many more times. I wonder,’ he obser ved to himself,‘shall I have to i,et out of this blessed bed tonight? Exercise is certainly a comfort, and veiy conducive to health ; hut such exercise as this—why where have you got V he added, addresing the pillow, which, with all the sweeping action of his feci lie w as for some time unable to find— * Oh, here you aid, sir, arc you V and he picked up the object of fss search and gave it several severe blows in the belly ; when, having reinstated himself between the sheets, he exclaimed in a su Iden tone, ‘ NA ell, let’s try again!’ <|i Now, Mr. Jonas Beagle was a .man who pri ded himself especially upon the liveliness of his temper. His boast that nothing ijould put him in a passion, and a* he had less thjiti most of his co-temporaries, to vex him, he hat} certainly been able, in the absence of all cause (for irritation, to preserve his equanimity. As a. perfect natural matter of course he invariably alJrjbuted the ab sence of such cause to the imiajtp amiability of his disposition; and marvelled tbfu men, men ot sense and discernment, should so ?or forget what was justly expected of them as reasonable beings us to suffer themselves to he tortured by excite ment. ina-much albeit as human nature and diffi culties arc insepcrable, human nature is suffi ciently potent not only to battle wit h those diffi culties, hut overcome them. It Mr. Jonas Bea gle had had to contend against many cl ihc ills flesh and blood is heir, he in all probability woo'd have acted like the majority us Ins fellow men ; but as he had met with very lew; and those few had not been of a very serious complexion, he could affoid to be deeply philosophical on the sub ject, and felt himself, competent! of course, to frame laws by which the tempers; \ of men in the aggregate should be governed. | <«> did, however feel, when he violently smote the pillow. that the little ebullition partook somewhat I of the nature of passion, and just commenced reproaching hitn selt for having indulged in that fittle-ebullition, when Valentine cried, ‘rneyow l\ —* pit !—mey ow!’ I ‘ Hallo !’exclaimed Mr. Jonas*; Beagle, ‘here again !’ i j * Mew !’ cried Valentine in a somewhat higher kp y- : . * What, another one come to contribute to the harmony of the evening!’ * Mevow !—meyovv !’ cried \ a.online in a key still higher. \ ‘ Well, how many more ol vou ?*’ inquired Mr. Beagle. “You will be able to get op a con cert hy-and-hy ;’ and Valentine began to spit and swear with gn at felicity. ‘Swear away, you beauties!’Miried Mr. Jonas Beagle, as be iistend to this vollrybof feline oaths; • I only wish that I was not so n.urh airaid of you lor your sakes. At it again ? ell this is a blessing. * Don’t you hear lues* devils of cals !’ he cried, anxious not to have a|i the tun him self; hot Valentine recommenced- snoring very loudly. 4 Well, this is particularly pleasant, he continued as he situp in bed. ■ D->n t you hear? M hat a com orl it is to he a! !e t sleep soundly . which remarkable observation w ajsi doubtless pro voked by the no less remarkable fafet that the sp.t '■u,g and swearing became more ,\n«l more des perate. ‘ What’s to be done ?’ ho inquired very pointed’y. * What’s to be done?’ my breeches ate right m the midst of them a|l . I can’t got °bt now ; they’d tear the very lit! !i oil my legs ; R nJ that fellow there sleeps like u . top. Hallo! Do you mean to sav vou don t fv-ear these cats, how they’re going it ?’ Vuleulineicerlainly meant b> say no such thing, for the wot lo ol the time that lie was not engaged in meyowing and spit ting, he was diligently occupied in snoring, which had a very good effect, and served to fill up the intervals exceedingly wel . length the patience of Mr. Jonas Beagle began to evaporate; for the hostile animals con tinued to battle apparently with great despera t!°n. He, therefore threw a pillow with great v °icnce into the hed of his companion, and so loudly, that Valentine, teeling that it V4 ° u *d be perfect nonsense for him to pretend to he asleep any longer, began to yawn very natu raiiy. and then to cry out “who’s there l ” ••’T.sl!” shouted Mr. Jonas Beagle “Don’t yon hear the e witches of cats?” ‘ 'lish ! cried Valentine, “ why there arc two I of them!” Iwo 1 said Mr. Beagle, more likely two-and i twenty! Ive turned out a dozen myself. There’s a swarm, a whole colony of them here, and I know no more about striking a light than a fool.’ ‘ Oh, never mind,’ said Valentine ; ‘ let’s go to sleep, they'll be quiet hy and bye.’ ‘ It’* all very fine to say let’s go to sleep, hut who’s to do it?’ cried Beagle, emphatically. ‘ Curse the cat's! I wish there warn’t a cat under heaven. Ido with all my soul! They’re such spiieiul vermin too, when they happen to he put out, and there’s one of them in a passion, I know by her spitting, confound her ! I wish from the bottom of rny heart it was the very last spit she had in her.” V, hile Mr. Jonas Beagle was indulging in these highly appropriate observations, Valentine was laboring with great energy in the production ot the various biller cries which are peculiarly characteristic of the feline race ; and for a man who possessed but a very slight knowledge of the grammatical construction of the language of that race, it roust in justice be said, that he developed a degree of that fluency, which did him great credit. He purred, and mewed, and cried, and swore, and spit, until the peispiration oozed from every pore, and made the sin ets as wet as if they had been ‘damped for the mangle.’ M hat on earth are we to do ?’ enquired Plum pice, I myself, have a horror of cats.’ J he same to me, and many ot ’em?’ observed Mr. Beagle, ‘ let’s wake that young fellow, per haps he don’t mind them.’ ‘ Hallo !’ cried Plumplee. ‘ Hul-lo! shouted Beagle;’ but as neither could make any impression upon Valentine, and as both were afrat . to get off the bed, to shake him, they proceeded to roil up the blankets and sheets into Dal 1- and to pelt him with infinite zeal. 4 M bo’s there ? \\ hat’s the matter?’ cried A alcntine, at length, in the coolest tone imagina ble, although his exertions had made him sweet like a tinker. ‘For Heaven’s sake, my dear young friend,’ said Mr. Plutnplee, ‘do assist us in turning these cats out.’ 4 Cats! Where are they ? Hish!’ cried Valen tine.’ 4 Oh. that’s of no use whatever. I have tried the hishing business myself. All the hishing in the world won’t do. They must he beaten out; you're not afraid of them are you !” ‘ Alraid of them : afraid of a few cats!’ ex claimed \ alenline with tlie assumption of some considerable magnanimity, ‘where are they?” ‘ Under my bed.’ replied Beagle. ‘There’s a brave fellow. Break their blessed necks!’ and A alcntine leaped out ol bed, and after striking at the imaginary animals very furiously with the bolster, he hissed with violence and scratched across the grain of the boards in humble imita tion of those domestic creatures scampering out of a room when he rushed to the door, and pro ceeded to make a very forlorn meyewing die grad ually away at the bottom of the stairs. ‘Thank Heaven I they are all gone at last,’ cried Mr. Beagle, ‘we shall he able to get a little rest now I suppose;’ and alter very minutely surveying every corner of the room in which it was possible for one of them to have lingered, he lighted his candle, bade Plumplee good night, and begged him to go immediately to Miss Ma donna, who had been calling for an explanation very anxiously below. As soon as Plumplee had departed, Valentine assisted Beagle to remake his bed; and when they had accomplished this highly important business with the skill and dexterity of a couple of thor ough-bred chamber-maids, the light was again extinguished, and Mr. Beagle very naturally made up his mind to have a six hours’ sound and uninterrupted sleep. He had, however,scarcely closed his eyes when the mewing was renewed, and as he had not the smallest disposition to lis ten to sounds so familiar to his ear, he started up at once and exclaimed, ‘I wish I may die it they are out now. Here’s one of them left! added he addressing Valentine, but Valentine having taken a deep inspiration, answered only by respiring with a prolonged gargling sound. ‘He’s off again hy the laving Jove!’ continued Beagle. ‘I never heard of any one sleeping so soundly. Hol lo my good fellow, ho!—Fast as afour-ycar-old? Won’t you be quiet, you witch ? Are you deter mined not to let me have a wink ofsleepto-nigh ? She must be in the cupboard; I must have over looked her; and yet I don’t see howl could. Oh! keep the thing up dear! Don’t let me rest;’ and he fumbled about for his box, and having taken a hearty pinch of snuff, began to turn the thing se riously over in his mind and to make a second person of himself, byway of having under the circumstances, a companion with whom he could advise, and if necessary remonstrate. ‘ Well, what’s to be done now?’ enquired he of the second person thus established. ‘What’s Jo be the next step, Jonas? It’s of no use at all, you know: we can't go to sleep; we may just as well try to get a kick at the moon—nor must we again disturb— Hish, you ; Jonas, Jonas, keep your temper, my boy!—keep your temper. Don't let a contemptu.le cat put you out!’—and Mr. Beagle look another pinch of snuff, trom which he apparently derived a great degree of consolation—‘What, at it again!’ he continued, ‘1 wish I had the wringing of your neck off mad am ! You want to pul me in a passion; but you wont, vou can’t do it! therefore, don’t lay that flattering unction to your soul!— Well, Jonas, how are we to act ? Sha 1 \vc sit here all night, or take up our bed and walk, Jonas? —eh ? Jonas was so struck with the expediency of the latter course, that he apparently urged its imme diate adoption; for Mr. Beagle, in the first place, half dressed himself in bod, and in the next, threw the counterpane, a blanket, and a sheet over his shoulder; when, tucking a pillow and a bolster under his arm, he said, ‘We’ll leave you to your own conscience, madam; good night, and left the room with the view ot seeking repose up on the sofa. Valentine was asloni-hed at the coolness dis played by Mr. Beagle throughout the entire tran saction; and after reproaching the spirit of mis j hies that was within him, and striving byway of punishment to disturb his own repose, and succeeded too as well as the monks of old did when they inflicted the scourge upon —he proceeded to justifjk himself upon tnc that his object was to learn the .rue charaeiers of men, and being perfectly satisfied with that jus tification, went soundly and solemnly asleep. In tl: e morning, of course, nothing but tales of hoiror went down, Mr. Plumplee told his with the air of a man conscious of having been in>pi red with the spirit of valor; and Miss Madonna told hers w ith great feeling and effect; but when Beagle began to explain to them how he had been persecuted, they forgot their own, and laugh ed heartily at his, which was certainly, under the circumstances, exceedingly reprehensible, howev er naturally, philosophers may hold it to be for the risible tacult#s of men to be provoked by the little vexati others endure.

Cotton —Since our review of Saturday morning last, the Cotton market has been in a more dull and inactive state than we have known it to be during the present season, the sales for the three days having only averaged about 900 bales per day. This want of animation in the market may be at tributed in some degree to the limited stock on sale, particularly of Lousiana and Mississippi cot tons, for which descriptions there is still the great est inquiry, but the scarcity of vessels and con tinued high rates of frieght, and the unwillingness of holders to yield any material concessions, may be mentioned as the most prominent causes, as buyers no longer seem disposed to operate exten sively at such full prices as have lately prevailed. Some of the sales made yesterday showed a slight downward tendency in the market, but formerquo tations have, one the whole, been fully sustained, and we therefore continue them unaltered.

The stock on the Le vee is "moderate, and is almost entirely in second hands, who hold firmly at the improvement above noticed, and in most instances claim a further slight advance on strictly prime qualities ; indeed, we are advised of one sale of 30 hhds very choice at a fraction above our highest figure. Inferior and middling qualities are in but little request, and remain at about our former figures. There is some inquiry for lots on plantation, and we under stand otiers have been made for several crops, but we cannot learn that any transactions have been closed since our last. , Molasses —The Levee has a rather better supply, but no improvement has taken place in the de mand, which is confined to limited transactions. Prices, however, remain the same as last quoted— say IS al9 cents per gallon in barrels. We have heard of no sales on plantation for some days past. Whiskey —The receipts, since our last report, have been unusually large, while only a moderate demand has existed, and the consequence has been a decline from the prices then cur- We now quote Rectified at 23 a 24 cents per gallon. Mobile, June 11, 1840. The market was uncommonly dull yesterday, and we heard of no transactions. We have dates of Ist June from New York. The Cotton market was firm at previous quotations. Sales reached 9000 bales for the week ending Saturday the 30th, at from 6J a 12 cents. Cotton —Since our last we have received 3,405 bales, and shipped 26,940 bales, leaving a stock on hand not cleared, of 115,182 bales. The receipts since the Ist of October last, are 443.537 bales, and the exports, 329,553 bales. Last season, at the corresponding period, the receipts were 251,591 bales; exports 234,144, and the stock on hand, not cleared 17,-506 bales. The appearance of the market has been quite uninteresting during the week, and has continued very quiet; the great scarcity of shipping, and the light stocks on sale, contributing to this end. It is presumed that, together with the receipts of the week, there are nut to exceed 7 or 8,000 bales on sale. Yesterday there was rather more animation, but sales were small. Holders advanced their pre tensions in some instances, and the market may be considered firm at our quotations. LIVERPOOL CLASSIFICATION. Good and fine nominal.
