The whole broad earth is beautiful To minds atiuned aright. And wheresoe’er my feet are turned, A smile has met ray sight. The city with its bustling walk. Its splendor, wealth and power, A ramble hy the riverside, A passing summer flower; The meadow green, the ocean swell, The forest waving tree, Are gilts of God, and speak in tones Os kindness unto me. And oh, where’er my lot is cast. Where’er my footsteps roam, If those I love are near to me, Thai spot is still my home. OH TURN TllO*lt: l-AKs* A WAV. Oh! turn those dear,dear,eyes away, My cheek with love is blushing, And though a smile may o’er it play. My eyes with tears are gushing. Oh! look n<»t in m\ eyes, love. They tell a tale 100 true; m bee not my blushes rise, love. Nor listen to my sighs, love, For blushes, sighs and eyes, love. All speak—all speak of you. As it takes great occasions to pi ace great men before the world, so does the exalted character of a measure tend to elicit noble and inspiring sentiments from its advocates. The despatch of vessels with stores of relief sent by this govern meet to alleviate the sufferings of Ireland was contemplated by Mr. Crittenden, in this beautiful language. Nothing more pure yet more graphic could have been said. J •• ’Twould he a glorious spectacle to f see the floating instruments of dealh, their decks no longer frowning with the in struments of destruction, hut wafting sub stantial evidences of a nation’s good will to the afflicted of another nation. This contemplation has been followed up with equal pathos and power, hy a writer in the New York Express , as fol lows: “ ’Twoiitd be a glorious spectacle,” When hearts with joy might weep, To seed our gallant stars and stripes Float freely o’er the deep. To feel a famine stricken land From our abundant store. And show the brave true Irish heart We prize it as of yore, And ever may our warlike sons Remember! that to save. Isstill the noblest attribute Os men, this side the grave. [From Neal's Saturday Gazette.] Anr Ocrlnnd Journey, &c. By Sir George Simpson. Lea & Blanchard are about to issue one of the most interesting books of travels that has ever been published. We speak by the card, having read the work in the sheets. It is the journey of Sir George Simpson from London round the world, bv a track never before perhaps accom- i ptished in one continuous journey hy any traveller, certainly hy none who has given the world his journal. From Montreal he went down the St. Lawrence, and when water communication ceased, trav elled on horseback and in other modes over the broadest part of this continent to the Hudson Bay Company’s posts on the P acific. Thence he visited California, \ and afterwards explored the intricate steam navigation of the North-west down •and among the Russian Possessions. Then beginning at the extreme point of IRu-ssia in Asia, he travelled by various •conveyances through Siberia and the denser peopled parts of Russia to Moscow, thence to St. Petersburg!) and thence to London. Over all this immense line he carried the eye of a keen observer, and a practical naan. His observations are shrewd, always interesting, often amus- , ing, and full of practical information. | , Siberia seems quite a tolerable country; ; , and its people, the Intermixture of exiles : notwithstanding, are better than those nearer the large cities. The rough and j laborious incidents of the long journey; I the fare oflhe various inhabitants of what, 1 ] measured by miles, amounts to nearly | , half the globe; the characteristic and ! . illustrative" anecdote, related in an off- , hand and pleasant manner, make this one I of the best and pleasantest books of the ; kind we ever met. The following ex- | tracts relative to California will be ac- ! ceptable to the reader; I - ‘•Of the women, with their witchery of j manner it is not easy, or rather it is not < possible, for a stranger to speak with impartiality, inasmuch as our self-love is naturally enlisted in favor of those, who, in every look, tone and gesture, have ap parently no other end in view than the pleasure of pleasing us. With regard, however!© their physical charms, as dis linguished from the adventitious accom plishments of education, it is difficult even for a willing pen to exaggerate. Inde- | pendently of feeling or motion,their spark ling eyes and glossy hair are in them- ; selves sufficient to negative the idea of tameness or insipidity; while tl>eir sylph liks forms evolve fresh graces at every j step, and their eloquent features eclipse | their own inherent comeliness by the higher beauty of expression. Though doubtless fully conscious of their attract tions, yet the women of California, to their credit be it spoken, do not ‘before their mirrors count the lime,’ being, on the contrary, by far the more industrious half of the population. In California such a tiling as a white servant is absolutely unknown, inasmuch as neither man nor woman will barter freedom in a country, where provisions are actually a drug and clothes almost a supeiflinty; and ac cordingly, in the absence of intelligent assistance, the first ladies of the province, more particularly when treated, as they too seldom are by natve husbands, with kindness and consideration, discharge all the lighter duties of their householde with cheerfulness and pride. Nor does their plain and simple dress savor much of the labor of tlie toilet. They wear a gown ! sufficiently short to display their neatly turned foot and ankle in their white stock j ings and black shoes, while perversely enough they bandage their heads in a i hauk'erchief so as to conceal all their ; hair except single loops on either cheek; j round their shoulders, moreover thev j twist or swathe a shawl, throwing over I ry all, when they walk or go to mass, lire ‘beautiful and mysterious mantilla.’ ‘•'Fhe men are generally tall and hand some, while their dress is far more showy and elaborate than that of the women.— Round a broad-brimmed hat is tied a par. ti-colored cord or handkerchief; a shirt, vv Inch is usually of the finest linen,displays on the breast a profusion of lace and em broidery; and over the shirt is thrown a cotton or silk jacket of the gayest hues, with froags on ihe bade, and a regiment of buttons on the breasts and cuffs. To come next to the nether man, the panta loons arc split on the outside from the hip to the foot, with a row of buttons on either edge of the opening, which is laced to geilier nearly down to the knee; round the waist is a silken belt, which, to say nothing of its value as an ornament, serves the utilitarian purpose of bracing up the inexpressibles; and underneath, through the flaps aforesaid, there peer out a pair of full linen drawers and a boot of un tanned deerskin, the boot on the right leg invariably forming the scabbard for that constant companion, the knife. But onr dashing friend, to lie appreciafed by the reader, must be placed on horseback, the quadruped being generally as gay as his master. The saddle, which is encum bered with trappings, rises both before and behind, while at either side there swings a wooden shovel byway of stirrup.— Thus comfortably deposited on his easy chair and pair of foot-stools, the human half of the centaur propels the whole machine by means of enormous spurs with rowels to match, setting rain at defiance from head to heel, without the help of any of your patent waterproofs. To say nothing of the broad brimmed hat, his legs are protected by a pair of goatskins, which are attached to (he sad dle-bow and tied round the waist, while his body is covered by a blanket of about eight feel by five, with a hole in the centre for Ihe head. This blanket or scrape appears to be to the vanity of the men What the bed is to that of the women. It varies in price from five dollars to a hundred, sixty dollars being the ordinary rate for a fine onet it is made of cloth of the most showy colors, sometimes trimmed with velvet, and embroidered with go!d. With such painted and gilded horse men, anything like industry is, of course, out of the question; and accordingly they spend their time from morning to night in billiard-playing and horse-racing, aggravat ing the evils of idleness by ruinously heavy bets. “In a word, the Californians are a happy people, possessing the means of physical pleasure to the full, and knowing no higher kind of enjoyment. Their happiness cer tainly is not such as an Englishman can cov et, though perhaps a Californian may with reason disparage much of what passes under the name in England, the accumulating of wealth for its own sake, the humoring of (he caprices of fashion, and the embittering even of the luxuries of life by blended feel ings of envy and pride. But whatever may be the merits or the demerits of Californian happiness, the good folks thrive upon it. They live long, warding off the marks ofage for a period unusual even in some less trying cli mates, and with regard to the women, litis is the more remarkable, inasmuch as they are subjected to the wearing effect of early wedlock, sometimes married at thirteen, and seldom remaining single after sixteen. In the matter of good looks, both sexes mere ly give nature fair play, scouting as well the cares as the toils of life.” [From the Nashville Union.] liow Oiilics increase ihe Revenue; This is a proposition which itje advo cates of protection in this country have derided as absurd at the same time they denied it as untrue. Yet we find the fa mous champion of free trade,in England proclaiming the same as true, and forti fying bis assertions with facts. In the early part of the month of Janua ry, a public dinner was given to Mr. Cob den in Genoa. At this dinner he made a speech of which we present the following extract to the attention of our readers: “There is a great lesson to be learned bv government—a lesson as yet learned but by two nations—which will teach them how to increase their revenues by lessen ing their custom duties, a process which augments the population, wealth and commerce of a nation, and thus increases its ability to contribute to the revenue of the State. I will give vou a fact or two in illustration of what 1 mean. The U. States of America enjoy probably the most moderate tariff in the world, in that country nine-tenths of the revenue is de rived from the customs. In England, where for the last quarter ofa century we have been marching in the path of free trade, one-tbird of our enormous income is yielded by the customs. In France— which has yet to take the first step in the reform of its tariff—-one tenth only of the taxes is raised from this source. And in Spain, w here the restrictive system reigns supreme, so small a fraction as one-thir teenth of the revenue is all that is raised at the custom houses. If I were to take other countries I could show, that in pro portion as they depart from the principles of free trade, they dimish the resources of their treasury. Seeing, then, that the interests of the governments and the peo pie are identical in this matter, 1 feel con fident in the extension of sound commer cial principles every where. 1 need not * remind you, gentlemen, that the removal of commercial restrictions must promote the interests of Genoa. Nature has given you a deep and capacious port in a sea i that is not famous for good harbors. Your merchants possess capital and enterprise, | your sailors have always been renowned for their courage, sobriety and persever- 1 ! a nee. 1 do not forget that from among ! them sprung that great and daring genius , who sailed upon the discovery of a new j world. You have all the elements of j commercial greatness, and require only J tree scope lor your energies to achieve the j highest prosperity for your beautiful city; | a prosperity which will be du able, bo- j cause it is based upon the principles of Justice and humanity. ,; Mere is a happy commentary on the foregoing, being a statement sent to Con gress by the Secretary of the Treasury, of the gross receipt, from the customs at six principal ports for three months under the old Tariff, compared with the receipts tit the same points tor the same period un- I del* the new tariff .

Savannah, we understand is expected to ar rive in this city early this week, and will give a course of Lectures on the above in teresting subject. The Mobile Advertiser. We are not personally acquainted with the Editor of this paper, and only have known i him through his editorial lucubrations, as a violent partizan. But lie has recently forced himself upon our attention in away which I we cannot allow to pass unnoticed. In pub lishing in his paper of the 27th ultimo, some remarks of our’s upon Mr. Clay, suggested by the loss lie has sustained in the death of his son, on the field of battle, | the editor has taken occasion to ascribe mo tives to us which show him to be incapable himself of generous emotions, or an honest motive for any political act. We are very gratuitously charged with insincerity, and j party designs in the language of compliment ; which wc used in rcferencelo the great Ken tuckian. We will not deign to discuss the j plausibility of such an accusation. It is I absurd on its face. But we must set down j a man as being one of a very little soul, who j cannot conceive of an editor sincerely adrnir- | ing a political opponent, and giving him . credit for patriotism, though differing 1010 ccblo from his political opinions. The vile motives attributed to us, could only spring from a man essentially a black guard by nature and education. In what manner the Constitutionalist may have con ducted the political campaign in 1844, we i shall not now discuss. That was before we became its editor. But we will vouch for our gentlemanly and respected predecessor, that be deported himself and conducted his i paper with a manly and honorable fairness. Because lie opposed Mr. Clay and his opin ions, he did not consider it necessary, or a part of his editorial duty ‘-to blacken his repu- j tation and to blight his fair fame,” He warred i against his opinions—not his character. Nor was it in character with him to pursue any political opponent “with violent abuse and vindictive persecution.” That mode of con conducting a press is reserved for such spirits as the editor of the Mobile Advertiser, who possesses no other ingredient in his composi tion but malignity, to give energy to his edi torials, and who is unconscious of such a state of feeling as an honest opposition to men \ from principle, unmingled with personal bit- | lernees and hatred. Such a man is incapable of just sentiments—is a stranger to generous emotions, and would never tell the truth of a political opponent unless he could profit by it. He therefore ascribes to others the same disgraceful motives that would surely influ ence himself. He is a blind and silly bigot who bates a man because be differs from him in political opinions—and a most arrant knave who will deliberately calumniate him to gain a politi cal object. We are disposed to think that the editor of the Mobile Advertiser is a little of both, from the facility wi.h which he can accuse another of acting from such bad im pulses. We have never considered that among the requisites of being a political editor, vve were never to admire a great man, if an opponent — never to believe him capable of a patriotic act or motive—or ifthe pages of our country’s his tory emblazon bis patriotism in limes of for eign war and national peril, too bright for concealment, to view any grateful allusion to 1 it. as treason to party and therefore improper. When we wish to pay a compliment to a great man, who is a Whig, we shall not first ask leave of such creatures as the editor of the Mobile Advertiser. We shall neither do sire their approbation, or fear their displea- , sure. OTWe think the following remarks of the Federal Union, especially worthy of consid- ; eration. We commend them to our readers, and hope that they may not pass unheeded. The Federal Union deserves its large and in creasing patronage. We hope that its pros perous career will continue unchecked. We are gratified to perceive by several re- I cent paragraphs in Democratic papers in | Georgia, that the Democrats are arousing ! themselves to the importance of sustaining their press, and are in this respect beginning intake pattern after their energetic oppo- | nents, the Whigs. Deiuocmli c New spa pers. We make our acknowledgments to the Democracy of Oglethorpe for the flattering 1 notice of this Journal, found in the proceed- | bigs of their meeting, in another column.— | I 'Flie measure they recoyimend—the exten- | j sive dissemination of Democratic papers, is j one which must commend itself to the favor- j able consideration of all, who have confi- j den'ce in their principles, and who expect to i secure their triumph. To be prompted load j the people must know the dangers impending over them; to he able to act wisely, harmoni ■ onsly and efficiently, they must be enabled jto act intelligently. 'J’he press is theengine upon which they must rely. There are j thousands of Democrats in the Slate who i i take no papers nf their political creed, and , I who consequently have no means of becom i ing acquainted with its practical operations; of the tacts and argnmen's to sustain, or the 1 assaults upon if. The consequence is, thev are unable to wield the influence which it is in their power to command. The Whigs act more wisely. Their pa pers are extensively circulated, hy far, more generally taken. Their poison is widely ex tended. If counteracted, Democrats in this respect must imitate their example. They j must send the antidote to destroy or neu- j , tralize the band. The accession to onr subscription list within the last few weeks, of scores, indeed ; we may say hundreds, is ominous of anew ! and better state of filings. Our Democra- j tic cotemporaries we hope, have been favor ed with similar omens. Let the people know i what are the principles of the Democracy and properly understand them, and they will be appreciated and sustained. Fire in (fritflii, (fa. A slip from the office of the Georgia Jes- ! fersonian ot the 28th u 11., gives an account j of an appalling fire which occurred in that 1 place on the 27th, by which a number of i store houses were consumed. The Masonic | Hall and several other buildings were blown . up to stop the progress of the flames.—'The | Whig office was considerably damaged by removal, and Mr. Latimer of the same, much injured in removing a portion of the Press. The following is a list of (he sufferers:— Mr. Wright, Mr. McNeil, White & John son, Woolen, Leak, Shulman, Shannon, Martin, Shackelford. Lewis, Burr and Cherry, have all lost largely, some their entire all, ; unless insured. Mr. Lewis, we understand, j was insured on his stock, at SIO,OOO, and the store house was also insured. The Masonic Hall premises and Mr. Wooten’s were also insured. We know of no other insurances. Messrs. Stern, Block, Dorsey &■ Knott, Hill, Brewer, Wtiite & Hicks, Word, Mur ray and others, suffered considerable by the damage to their goods by removal. Honor " to Commodore Conner. We understand, says the Philadelphia Pen nsylvanian, that the dinner offered to Com modore Conner lias been accepted, and will be largely attended by influential citizens of \ both parties. 4'he day has i?ot yet been fixed, i As a testimonial of the high honor enter- I tained of tiie distinguished services of Com modore Conner, vve learn, says the Pennsyl vanian, that lie has been offered by the Sec retary of tiie Navy, speaking for the Presi dent the responsible position of Chief of the Bureau of Construction, Equipment and Repair, This offer was accompanied by a letter of the most complimentary character.

Yesterday forenoon a great feat was a chieved by Mr. Allen at the Alhambra or bowling saloon. With twelve balls rolled he counted 300, making twelve successive ten strikes. The alleys are 84 feet in length, and the pins are not so easily knocked down as on Frank’s alleys in New York, which we learn are but 75 feet long. St. Louis, in the far West, and all the cities of the North, East, and South, nay all points of the compass, must acknowl edge themselves beaten.

CHARLESTON. 3lay J.— Cotton —The cof* ton market, for several days prior to our report of the ojth ult, had been in a depressed state; and w hen we closed our quotations on Friday, prices were in favor of purchasers; the week under review, however, shows quite an opposite slate of affairs, ow ing to tlie favorable intelligence receiv ed from the other side. Yesterday the transac tions were limited to 320 bales at the prices pre vailing on Tuesday Although there is a w ide margin between our quotations and those ruling in the principal European markets at the time of the sailing of the Cambria, holders have that abiding confidence in this staple, both on account of the great deficiency in the aggregate receipts, and the comparatively light stock on sale, w hich seems to be so perfectly under their control, that they have refused to meet purchasers at any abatement in prices, who on the other hand, have during the last three days evinced a spirit of determination not to submit to the demands of factors, to any ex tent at all events; and we look forward to a very quiet market until vve shall receive the advices per the Caledonia, which was to have left Liver pool on or about the 20th ult. The sales since our last foot up 5600 bales against the receipt in the same time of 5961 bales. The actual transactions are as follows:—39 bales at 104; 52 at 101; 166 at 101; 123 at I0y; 706 at 11; 80 at 11J; 92at 114; 281 at 11*; 1214 at HI; 168 at Ilf; 1864 at Ilf; 29 at D j; 658 at 12; 43 at 12j; and 46 bales at 124 cents. The following quotations will correspond w ith the improvement which has taken place during the week just brought to a close, viz:—ordinary to good ordinary 10* a ID; middling fair 11* a Hi; fair and lolly fair 12a 12*; and choice 124. Corn. —The recent foreign accounts has com pletely unsettled the Corn market. Purchasers demand a heavier concession than holders are willing to make, and the market throughout the week has consequently been very quiet. Small parrels of country have been sold at 90c., which is a decline of sc. on the prices previously paid. Our quotations for the present are nominal. There have been no arrivals from North Carolina since our last. The receipts per the Rail Road com prise 9200 bushels. Flour. —The recent accounts brought over by the Cambria, seems also to have completely un hinged the I’lour market. There has been some little inquiry for the article, at prices, however, to w Inch holders refused to submit; and the transac* tions have been confined to small lots Flour, at prices ranging from 64 to $74 pjS|barreL We have lor the present erased all quotanons, ex cept for the description noticed above. Received per Rail Road 550 barrels. Freights. —There is nothing offering to either Liverpool or Havre, and quotations are altogether nominal.

MACON, April 29.— Cotton. —The favorable newr by the Cambria, caused an advance of 4 a cent in this market, and we quote extremes at 104 all* cents.
