I 'Tor-some day* past, our citizens have been in ■ state of much anxiety respecting the falo of Kiveral vessels-(list were on their way to, or ■oming from ports South of Charleston, that were but during the late gale. | .Yesterday afternoon’s Southern mail brought lit a Slip-from eur< Correspondent of the Darien WEelegraph, inserted below, which communicates ■the distressing intelligence of the entire loss of tone of them, the Schc. S. 8 .Mills, Capt. Elt- Juair, and. melancholy to relate, but one individ ual was saved out nfall on hoard. The S. S. Mills bailed.fro it St. Augustine for this port on Satur day .week last, with a number of passengers, the tosmes of which are not known here—hut from She account gtven fay tire person saved, there could mot have been as many passengers as was at first ■opposed. OfEce of the Telegraph, 7 Dxhiex, Ado. 11. S SBHIPWRECK—'FOURTEEN LIVES LOST, r ATriend has favored us with the following:— ■The seaman, Mr. Cote, is in this city at present, sand substantiates4be account, ? Sr. SiM««’s Acc. 9.—A sailor by the name jof Braham Cote, who says that he is, as ho be lieves, the .only survivor of the St. Augustine schr. B. S. Mills, of 90 tons burden, hound to Charleston, and upset oIT Jekyl I la id, in 7 fathoms water, and ail perish but himself Tois melancholy disaster occurred during the gale on Sunday, the 6tb instant, about 11 o’clock in the morning. There were on board, fifteen in all, imong whom were one white woman and two Blacks, all drowned, in the cabin. Mr. Cole reached the middle of Jekyl Island about an hour tfter sunset, on a spar. The lost he saw of the wreck at was bottom op, and the Captain, Mate and two black seamen, were on her bottom, and two other men in the boat, which was full of wa ter. Soon after the boat passed by him with fpobody in it. There was a schooner in sight ,wh<w she upset, and run down upon her, but as die believes saved none of the crew. They were )i|te himself, floating about, that is those not al ready drowned. It was too rough too keep a .boat on the top of tpe waves. Ho remained on Jekyl Island »U night, not knowing that the Is land waa inhabited, and seeing the Light House, he came to tha north and of it, and finding a plack, launched himself upon the sound, and with a paddle be found on the bank, paddled him* self across, taking the last of the flood .tide, and landed near Mr. King’*. Sev«r%> fragments of the wreck bae cone ashore along the beach, together with the foremast, broke below the cap. The schooner was in bal last, two days from St. Augustine, and command ed by Captain Elyman. The crops have suffered much by the late gale; | that, with the severe drought, wilt make our crops short. Ttie poor fellow came ashore naked, ha* r ving torn his clothes off while afloat, that the sur ges might not have so much hold of him, and thinks that is what saved him. T. B. King, Esq. and his ovetseer, Mr. Redding, clothed him and treated him with great kindness. JOHN GOULD. We learn that one of the passengers was a , Clergyman from Charleston* Dxbi.xo Rohbkrt —On Sunday night the 6th inst. Mr. Gabriel Capers who was returning home in a buggy about four miles from this city, was knocked down by 2 white men,who were on horse back, and robbed. We learn that while on the road, before dark, he discovered them, they follow ed him two or three miles. When near home, if being very dark and rainy one of them rode up to him, and gave him a very severe blow on the head with a stick—in consequence of which ho fell to the ground senseless, where ho probably remained and hour or more. His trunk was bfo ken open and rubbed of 135 dollars of silver, and five dollais were also laked from his pocket. He. at length recovered his senses and got to his house Ho still suffers severely from the Wound. No clue has vet been developed by which the robbers could be identified. Such a case of highway rob bery has never before occurred to our knowledge in this vicinity. —Macon Messenger, From the Savannah Georgian, August 17 FROM FLORIDA. We are indebted to our correspondent for the information contained in the following letters. “Fort Kino, Fi.o. > August 3d, 1837.5 “The celebrated John Hicks, (Tuckcbatchea hajo) whose death I saw announced in a paper some days ago, came in this morning with two other Indians. He says (bat he has been hunt ing on his way from Fort Mellon, and that he left there ten days ago; expected to find the chiefs here, and has no doubt but that they will be here in a day or two, or he should not have come in; thinks that Powe.l, (Oskeola ) will accompany them; that he is still at the camp, near Fort Mel lon. lie furthet states that the Indians are suf fering very much from sickness and that they are destitute of provisions, that they are obliged to scatter themselves over the Country to get game; thinks that the delay is owing to Holatoochce’s being so lar off, near Charlotte Harbor, and his family that the warriors have strict orders not to fire a hostile gun, and as he cannot have provisions here, askeil permission to en camp at a pond 4 miles off and at the old agency for the purpose of hunting until the chiefs come in. Says that Sam Jones, (Apiakee) is now in clined for peace, that at one time he thought he would rather die in the woods than to shake hands with a white man.” “Black Cheek, Bth Aug. 1837. “Above you have all that is worth communica ting. The frontier, as well as every pari of the Territory,is perfectly quiet and secure.—You may rest assured that the Indians will commit no out rages, and that they will emigrate as soon as the season will warrant their undertaking the jour ney with safety. “There are two regiments of mounted volun teers being mustered into service. It is pleasing to see ibe alacrity with which the citizens here come forward to enrol themselves, upon the n ccnt call made by the Commanding General lor volunteers, and it shews conclusively the estima tion in which General Jessup is held by the peo ple. The volunteers from East Florida have rendered valuable services, and behaved them selves like soldiers; and the regulars will always' be happy to attest to their bravery and good con duct. But while conceding this much, I regret m to say that no part of the above compliment can apply to the Middle or Western Floridians.— Tltey have on all occasions evinced an indifference and apathy wholly unaccountable.” “Four Kixo, E. F., Bth August, 1837. “Since my last communication to you on the subject of Indians, I have to report the arrival of two suli-Chicfs from Fort Mellon, Tuskanuckee and Chictoah car; —men that are sent on all oc casions hy Co-e-hajo and others, when they have business to transact, as lam informed by Paddy Catr. “They say thecaltledrivert across the St Johns were 20 in number;—that the Chiefs, as soon as they knew it sent them off, with orders to .drive back every Indian and to sec that no deprepati ns were committed—that they have huen engaged in hunting up and sending backlndians tor 10 or 12 days. Tltat the cattle were drives off hy Indians who had left thcCamp without the knowledge of the Chiefs. “Tuskanuckee proceeds as far as Micanopy to-day, for the purpose of going out with some Creeks from that post to hunt up some Indians reported as doing mischief in that vicinity.—lie says he left before my Kiessage to the Chiefs was known —that he had no doubt hut that they will be in. Eight hoslilcs are encamped by my permission four miles South of this near a pond— and Hicks, with two others, between this and the agency} these are all the Camps and all the Indians known to be North of the line. “Since writing the above, a party of six Mi kasuckys from Towel’s Camp have arrived:— they started in company with the Chief Co-e-ha jo,—Ya-hajo, (the brother in law of Powcl.j and Uonese, Tustcnu jee. They will beat the Camp across the Ocklawaha, probably this evening, and come in to-morrow, or, as the streams on the trail are very high, their arrival may lie delayed 24 hours beyond this calculation. They are a depu tation, and after seeing them, I shall send a spe cial express.” “Black Creek, E.F. Aug. 10th, 1837. “Above you have authentic information from . the interior, and I assure you, from information derived from every part of the Territory, it is cer tain that there are no depredations committed by the Indians—They will emigrate in the fail. It is folly to think otherwise, as the Indians cun sec for themselves, and they find that we are prepar ed at all points to give them a warm reception. This is owing to (he energy and vigilance of the Commanding General.—Had he, (as many offi cers believe he ought to have done) surrounded anil made pr.soners Micanopy, Jumper, and olh ers encamped near Tampa, he would have lost the influence of the first named Chief, who h.id 500 devoted warriors in his hand. The act would have been highly extolled and shed some glory on the General, hut Florida would have hied at every pore. —General Jesup examined the suh jeet in all its hearings, saw the advantages and disadvantages of the sc p recommended by some, bui, discarding every selfish consideration—he adopted the course which was for the good of the country. “Allow me to call your attention t) the absence horn duty, of all (one exceptedo Field Officers of Artillery, and five sixths of the company officers of Artillery, and two thirds of the company officers of Infantry, Scarcely one officer to a company, some instances when one officer commands two companies The subject has been frequently brought before the Executive and no corrective applied. It is to he hoped that Mr. Poinsett, will lookto the subject, audit is believed that the proper officers have withheld this information irom him as well as from tha President. Some time ago, application was made for a few officers, for Ordinance duty in Florida, and the request rejected. Yet we see noticed in the papers, of officers conducting regat ta’s on the Potomac ; superintending fire works ’ in the President’s square, &c. dec.—Something must be done, as there are scarcely officers en ough in health, to look after tbs men.

Her top-gallant yards were torn away, main-mast shivered, and glancing, as it were, from which, the bolt next struck the bow sprit, wh ch, we learn, waa splintered to pieccs.- Some other damage was done, but no lives lost. —•Mobile Examiner, From the Mobile Mercantile A bvertisef, Aug. 16. SrtiAMEOAT Explosion. —The steamboat Car olinc, Capt, Griffin, on her way from New Or leans to this city hurst her boiler, near the Dog River bar, yesterday evening. Capt. Griffin des patched a messenger over land, for assitance, front whom we learned that the [toilers were both hursted, and the chimneys thrown down.— The steersman was terribly scslclod, and not expected to survive. The cook had not been found. Five or six passengers were re ported as dead or badly scalded. The steam boat Fox, Capt Gayle went down about 5 o’clock to the assistance of the sufferers. P. S. Since the above was writen.the Caroline has reaced the city, in low of the Fox, whose enterprising managers deserves great credit for their promptness on this occasion. We learn the following parliciuars. The Caroline blew up at 1 o’clock, P. M.— only one boiler burst. Mr. Levi, the engineer, badly ecalded, but is expected to recover. Mr. John Smith, the steersman, died while coming up. Two negroes, deck passengers, were dtowned. There were 5 cabin passengers, none of whom received any injury. Five firemen, McCatly, Hart, Crawley, Corn, McClintick, badly scalded. “Fallino Stars or Meteors. — On Wed nesday night the 9th inst. a considerable display of this kind took place in the heavens. For sev eral hours, from one to a dozen could be constant ly seen shooting towards every point of the com pass, at various angles, and often horizontally, In many cases they were very near the earth, representing a more spark and shooting with great velocity—-and again they wore in appearance equal to stars of tha largest magnitude, leaving a long train after them, which was sometimes visi ble for two minutes. Most of them were of a yellowish, or fi one color—but one we noticed of the vety largest size of a deep red, one which which moved off slowly and rnajeslicaly with a brilliant train. We noticed them from one to three o’clock, but are told that they commenced early in the night.—,l/acon Messenger, From the Southern Recorder. The miserable dependence of the South, in re gard to all that is connected with commercial cn terprize, has long been to us a subject ul astonish ment and mortification. 'lJjie South furnishes the products for which the articles of foreign com merce are exchanged,and the North reaps all the profits of the exchanges. Why is this? Is it that the South possesses not intelligence sufficient to conduct the usual opeta lions of commerce? Is it our humiliating condi tion, that we are compelled, by our own stupidi ty, to employ our northern brethren to sell our products for us in a foreign market, and purchase for us, in return, the supplies necessary for our wants and comfort? Neither of these causes for our inertness will be admitted. Is it that we lack capital to carry on the necessary objects of com merce? Our product itself, when diverted IH oCtr own ports, will supply the capital required. Is it because we have not southern ports of sufficient extent and capabilities, to enable us to supply our wants? Experience proves this nut to be the case; fur it is even within our own remembrance, yes, within twenty years, when Savannah alone purcha cd the crop of Georgia, and supplied by importation our citizens with all her goods. And wc wil. assert, without the fear of confutation, that the peop'o were as well supplied then ns they are now. That they received, in proportion, as much for their cotton, and that our country mer chants received greater, far greater facilities, in the way of credit and accommohation, titan they do at this day. Ami why cannot this he done now? This is an important enquiry, and should arrest the attention ot every citizen of the Stale. That ships of burthen, amply sufficient for all commercial purposes, can conic and go to and from Savannah (for instance) is demonstrated, because they do so now, and have been doing so for a century. That the port of Savannah will not answer for the purposes of the commerce of the Slate, on (he score of health, is sufficiently re futed by the reply, that it has answered most ad mirahly all the commercial purposes of the Slate, at a time too, when, from the absence of the dry culture system, and other causes, this port wasde cidcdly less salubrious than it is at present.— That Savannah can export the cotton raised in Georgia, is shown by the fact, that for the rrldst part, the cotton raised In the State is now shipped from that port. In brief, then, we believe we may assume, from the (wo facts, Ist, that Savan nah has heretofore admirably performed the bu siness of importing lor the Stale, and 2d,thntslie even now transports the cotton of Georgia either to a European or northern market; that she pos sesses all the requisites, sr) far as a port is con cerned, to do the importing and exporting busi ness of the State. ~ The signal advantages of possessing rttlr own port, and doing our own business arc so striking, that it would seem to be totally unnecessary to dwell upon them. Every farmer must see, that if he sells his cotton in Savannah, to one who buys it for the English market, he will obtain for it the highest price which the foreign market will war rant, deducting the paying for the trouble and ex pense of sending it there. If he sells it in Savan nah to one who purchases tor the New York mar ket, he must expect to deduct from the former price the amount of the expense and trouble of sending it to New York, as well as the charge of the New Yorker fur his expense and trouble in re-shipping it to Europe. It is clear, then, that he must obtain more for his cotton at the place of exportation, in his own Slate,l oan if reshipped to another port, and resold before it finds its ulti mate port of destinat on. It is no less obvious, that the goods purchased by the farmer must he obtained cheaper. What is the process at present of the purchase of im ported goods at the North? The importer brings the goods from Europe; he sells them with his profit added, to the jobber; he again sells them, with his advance, both upon the first cost and the profit of the importer; or, in other words, he makes his profit on his own purchase, in selling them so the Southern merchant. The Southern i merchant sells them to the farmer with his ad ■ vance. upon the first cost, and both the importer’s ' and jobber’s profit, making a beautiful system of compound profit, before the goods get into the hands of the cotton grower at all. But this is not all, the Southern merchant must be paid his • own expenses in going and coming, as well as i tbs freight of an additional voyage for the goods , from New York to some southern port, making a I very clever addition W the compound amount aforesaid. No* is this ’all—he kao-vs that he will ue have to pay for suitable funds to make his pay >ir ment in New York when it becomes due,am? tin# is must lie added to the already, in ail conscience, i’c sufficiently swelled aggregate If we imported ;|. our own gnods.lhe niardiant of the interior would ar purchase directly from the importer, paying him r- only the fitsl profit spoken of. Proof of this; he e- did so when Savannah was the importing city for tn Georgia, and he esn do so again. The cry of c. heavy rates of exchange will not be heard, when d; we sell our cotton and buy our goods nt our own id port; it would he as wise to expect hills upon the v. cotton grower in the interior to be above par, ns J bills upon the exporter and importer to be so. It would seem then, that if it is demonstrable of that we have the ports, and that by using them y for our own purposes, we shall obtain more for - our produce, and pay less for our goods, that no -0 thing more need he said. It would seem that the II argument was exhausted, and that all we had not* e to do, was to stand to our interests. But we have »• only glanced at the important results of the «ys s, tern wc advocate, the t -erne is almost inexhaus tible. We arc aware that we have extended this article sufficiently already, hut we cannot close is it without the general remark, that hy the system i. recommended, Georgia, in addition to all (hat has n been said, would be enriched hy the profits of Iter it own laborers. All the wealth accumulated by ■- the transactions of commerce, instead ofhuilding - up Londons at the North, would serve to build I. up New Yorks at the South. In a word, the profits of our own commerce would bp added to, instead of -withdrawn from the wealth of tha State. It shall be our business to urge upon our rca ■ dors this important subject. That it is praclicn -1 hie, experience has proved. That it can again ' be accomplished, wc do not think it will he difft -1 cultas readily to dcmonstra c. But if there be 1 any radical defects, in the port of Savannah, it ia " hoped that in Brunswick, Georgia will find une 1 altogether suitable. Wc address ourselves in our 1 remarks especially to our agricultural readers, he- 1 ■ cause they are most deeply interested in the is ■ sue. We need not inform the intelligence of this 1 • porlionofour readers, that in these duplicate and 1 triplicate tariffs upon both our exports and im -1 ports, the ultimate effect falls on their shoulders ; I 1 or, in other words, that for the cxp‘ nces of the i whole process, they have eventually to pay the i 1 piper. From the Savannah Georgian. The Report of the Secretary oi the Trcas- < ury shows, that the Foreign Imports ul near- t ly ali the Northern Stales exceed their For. 1 , eign Exports of domestic production* by Jhe ( to seven limes ; and that the amount of the < Forego Imports ofthe respective Southern t States are by six to nineteen limes under the * amount of their respective Foreign Exports, i. 1 e. that nearly each Northern Slate imports " from Jive to six times more than their exports • can pay fur; and that each of the Southern Slates imports from six to nineteen times less S than their Exports would pay for. Hence the * Exports of the Southern States goto pay for the imports of the Northern Slates. This : would be well enough tl we consumed no more ( than our Foreign imports, since the surplus g would be expended in the improvement of our ■ country and m the farther developement of a its resources. But unfortunately such is not f the fact; we allow our Northern brethren to t import for us, and pay for the import through c our means, deducting in the course ofthe Iran- c saction, a certain portion for the advancement ), ol their own Interests, the developement of |, their country, and the i, provement of their „ posterity. Is not their country belter tmpro- t red than ours ? Do not the resources of our i country require developing more than theirs ! 1 And are wc so rich us not to require that pur- I tion of our income which they deduct for ad- i dilimniJ freights, insurances, wharfages, por- i tugOr, exchanges, nnd profits? All of which I can be saved by the direct importation into our own seaports. If we are so richor so comen- ‘ ted,and so generous as to part with thesewith- c out reluctance, is it not proper that we should i be just to our country and our posterity, be- J tore we are generous to those of others. If ’ wo have a right to fotego any advantages 1 ourselves, we have no right to deprive our J prosperity ot their results. Let us arouse our selves to the View ol our present condition and the great advantages held oul by our country | to the faithful performance of onr duly to ( posterity, in developing every resource in such ( manner as to give our children every udvan- , tage, and to tnake litem pround of their coun- E try, witen ttiey compare it with other coun- j trigs more highly improved. Until we have , done this, we have no right to allow others to t enjoy the advantages w.licit nature and na- l tore’s God Inis placed in our hands. Have i we equal means of education with others? have we equal facilities and cum orts ot living and . improvement? Have we artificial advantages equal with other countries? These questions { must be answered in the negitive. Our being young us a State, is no reason for indifference on these points; but if this be the cause that we do not enjoy them, it is at ‘ the same time the reason why we should leel , it strongly incumbent upon us, to seize every means which is placed in our power, to ad vance the improvement of ourselves and our country—they are given fur that purpose, and ‘ it will be culpable to neglect them—to neglect ' them, would give our posterity a right, to as- 1 sail our chancters, and disturb, by their com- 1 plaints, the slumbers of our graves. The con sequences of allowing the North to import fur us, are more serious than they appear at first 1 view. Tltey cannot know our wauls as well j as we do otirselves—the desire of gain and j the excitement of profits urge greater supplies 1 than are needed—hence miscalculations and overtrading with all their evil consequences to the whole country. The difficulties of In ternal Exchanges arise from tins concentra- i tion ofthe business in New York,the amounts i are and will be so much increased that the t difficulties or losses in effectifig them will b - i come immense. Already have the Northern- | importers and dealers yielded to 6a 7 and 10 ' per cent, discount, added to the interest on 1 | the notes and drafts for whieh they sell their i . goods; and if their capital enable them to 1 ! await the maturity, they still have to encottn- ' , ter high premiums to transfer their money 1 home. Who pays these large discounts mid | premiums 7 Noi the Importer nor the Dea , ler but the Southern consumer. Some will . say here that a greaißank hasbeen wanting; if we had one.llten would the Devil only be whip r peel around the stump, and the Southerner be I' still made to pay more than the direct impor i ter. Farther, if we tue United Stales per ; mit our importations and exchanges to he con > centrated at one point, we shall b ; subjecting 1 ourselves to every difficulty which may arise ■ at titat point, ake ourselves co-ptrlners in their miscalculations and over trading-, and partakers in their losses and misfortunes. i We slntl) be stretching from thence an elec ■ trical chain which will carry every shock to 4 all parts or the country. Let onr statesmen 4 look well to this point, and apply preventives j in the regulation of a Bittk, while the people * examine it as to the importations* These 5 present, difficulties, nnd the present tribute 5 paid are but the beginning—they arc small in I comparison to what they will be as our court try advance*, and her consumption increases. We are opening new routes to extensive mar -0 ket«; unless we import for ourselves and those s markets, others must reap the great advanta* , ges of our labors. g What preve.tt* us from importing for our * selves! Ifthecomract on of our Batikiorlhe • smatlnew of their capital*, or the want of the it individuiJ capital destroyed in the greet fire II |at mir geiporChav* heretofore been the dißfct/f • ;y, it ran lie removed. Tim capital ie now iin the country—if not in the hands of those > t -ho would engage in the business, and if not 1 tally sufficient to supply the markets now I opening to us. it can be provided, if we will 1 only arouse ouraelvee 'o the task, and make ! such arrangements os will invite it to tins 1 channel. It cannot he unknown to those con- versant with the State of Georgia, that there J is not much surplus capital for which ern | ployment is desired; hut is the opinion of | many tint the importing trade to which I alluded, would be a tempting object of profit and patiiotism, and that a sufficient amount qt capital might he concentrated by the pas sage of a law, inviting limited partnerships, and this might induce Foreign and Northern as well as Souther capital lobe thus invested. The leading otgect of the law should be to unite cdpital and skill, ( intelligence , prudence and vigilance ) with security in order to encourage those departments of business, which the wants and interests of the Slate require, and in which there is not and cannot be engaged, a sufficient cyof individual capital, while there are so many other openings fur its employment. — This subject has been matter of private nnd public discussion, and it is presumed there may bo action on the subject by the Legisla ture, which would meet universal approbation of resulting in a law, providing for limited partnerships. Such la vs are not uncommon, and in effect are daily seen. New-York,Mas sachusetts, and other great countries have such laws, and it is one of the great cau ses of thelr’proeperily. It is the harness by which the whole United States have been hitched to the car of New-York. The present disorganized state of trade is an auspicious movement to slip off’ the harness. Give us such a one and we will buckle in the upper and lower country as the leaders, and England and the West, as the wheel horses to the ear of Georgia, and then we may start on tlio road of prosperity, and with our Rail Roads completed wo may witness our goods, lading in the ports in Liverpool ami Havre— mounted on our Rail Roads Cara—and landed in the groat marts ofthe Far West. A. GEORGIAN. | The accession of another female to the throne I ot Great Britain is a subject which is at present J exciting much interest. The reigns of Queen ■ Elizabeth and G}“ecn Anne were among the most glorious in the British annals, and the five years of Mary were too remarkable ever to be forgot ten. The future appears so eventful that the I successor of the late king cannot fail to fill a distinguished place in history. The following is an abstract of an article published some lime since in the London Athcnoum. \ The princess Alexandria Victory is the only child of die Duke of Kent, fourth sou of Geo go c 111., by Victoria Maria Louisa, Princess Dowager I of Luningcn, sister of Prince Leopold. The v Duke of Kent was always with the exception per- 11 Imps of the Duke of Sussex, the most popular of '! the royal family and was conspicuous from his active benevolence, and protection of charitable institutions. She waa born on the 24 May, 1819, fi and within a few months afterwards lost her ■ father, who died of tiifiamation brought on by sit ting too long in wet clothes. The Princess lias consequently been under the aole care of her ex- I cellenl mother from her infancy; and it is well U known that no molher has more anxiously stud- " led to inculcate on her daughter’s mind a due sense of moral and religious duties, and the prac tice of kindness, gentleness, and forbearance to *ll those ab nit her, than has the Dutchess of Kent towards her precious charge. Her studies have been pursued with as unremitting attention I us her health would bear: she is quick in acqui ring. languages, and speaks fluently English, I French and Gcrman;and is well read in history. 1 The Pfincesa’s governess (an appointment which is chit fly a matter of from in accordance to pre- „ cedents) is the Dutchess of Northumberland; her n preceptor, the Rev. Mr. Davies, her music mas ter, Mr. Sale, ami her instructor in the English law and constitution, Professor Amos of the London University, who attends regularly to give the Princess lessons in this important branch of knowledge. The princess has fine eyes, and a fiorlJ com plexion and strongly resembles the lamented Princess Charlotte both in countenance and manner. She is inclined to ho stout rather than tall. Her disposition is spoken very favorably of and he; good humor never fails her, though she is riot much in the habit of associating with young ladies of her own age but leads on the whole a secluded life. If from ali that is known, therefore of this interesting personage during her yet short career there is every reason to induce us to look with confidence to her administration. I American Present to Victoria —A ( London paper ii.ehtions that “ n very elegant | port folio waa presented to the Princess Vic- d tom, on her late birth day, of gold and silver ri leadicr, richly embossed, nnd presenting to ! the eye every appearance of being composed [' of the precious metals, by Mr. A. Jiickacti Al- n |en, of Boston—being an invention of his own. t Th royal family have accordingly resolved « to patronize this new preparation of leather. 1 An eastern editor asks us, whctlierAmos Ken dall ever attempted to get revenge for the hoisc whipping which he received in Frankfort. Cer tainly not. Amos always pretended lhai he was too magnanimous to notice what, pasted behind > hit buck. — Prentice. j The administration, in turning its late snmer- j, set upon the subject of banking and the currency, t fell upon its head. Its skull was fractured and e its neck dislocated by the accident, but fortunate- 1 ly it sustained no other injury.— lb. THE WALTZ. BT WASIIISOTOS IHVINO.
