* Our disapprobation ol the appointment of
William N. Bishop to the responsible ofiice of
one of the Clerkships in the Central Bank,
is well known to our readers. Our opinion of
that man and that appointment remain un
changed. Wc yet look upon it as a disgrace to
the Smte of Georgia, and an indelille blot upon
the public as well as private reputation of the
power that conferred it, because they were fully
apprised of the innumerable outrageous otlences
charged upon him,however “polite" and “affable"
his manners and conduct may no v be, or
however “ efficient" he may be in the discharge
of its various duties. At un early period of the
Murray county difficulties we saw, with pain
and mortification a fixed determination in
some of our leading Union friends, lo sustain
his conduct, and promote his ambitious aspira
lions at the risk of eveiy hazzard. for the
(purpose, then, of disabusing a false estimate ot
his moral worth, and f>r the purpose ot saving
the Union parly from the reproaches and odium
his elevation would justly bring upon it, we were
induced tu give publicity lo his conduct. »ct our
repeated warnings were treated as the idle winds. ,
Our worst anticipations at that lima, ns the Uni
on party will now bear ample testimony, have
been too truly verified. (Seeing then, a portion
of our Union friends rushing “Gehu like”
against light ami knowledge lo destruction, we fell
disjiosed, for a while nl least, lo give them up to

the utmost of our ability, the principles of the

LIFE INSURANCE.
Mr. Editor—Few persons, I believe, or at least
few of those to whom such a facility is most val
uable, arc acquainted with the great advantages
and benign influences of Life Insurance. This
facility, too, is new among us; and the recent ad
vertisement of the Georgia Insurance and Trust
Company had just suggested to me the propriety
of calling public attention to the suirject, when I
met, in Waldic’s Literary Omnibus of Philadel
phia, with the following pertinent rcmarks.which,
as they will serve that purpose heller, probably,
than any of my own, you will oblige me by in
serting in your able and widely circulated journal.
I would suggest to the Company,the propriety
of publishing their rates of insurance, after the
manner of the Northern olfices, which would
doubtless have its influence on many, who may
otherwise be deterred from enquiring by a fear of
their being beyond their means or convenience.
P.
Life Insurance.— All men think nil men
mortal but themselves.” “No man believes his
own life will bo.short.” The precarious nature
of the tenure of human existence is a theme of
every day recurrence, yet very few think that it
is applicable tu them. While they enjoy health
and spiriis, they do nut lieueve death can be near;
tlie numerous accidents daily recorded do not
cause them to ibiuk that il ran be possible they
should meet a similar destiny—and not until
some striking example of it aiiiong-t their imme
di.ile acquaintance, a sudden loss of a near rein
li»e, or some rctnaikalde escape nr attack of dis
ease in their own persons, are they aroused from
their lethargic state, to the danger of delay, and
lo the importance of arranging their pecuniary
affairs in anticipation of that event.
The late and present pecuniary embarrassments
of the mercantile world, and the consequent dc
ragement in every thing connected with it, and
through them, of most other branches of trade,
and industry, show conclusively the necessity of
making provision for dependents that shall be be
yond the contiol/if reverses^ n trade or commerce,
and against a contingency which, when it hap
pens, is irremediable—beyond which no recovery
of a disastrous step can be made.
The nature and advantages of Life Insurance
as affording lo persons in every station in society
an easy and efficient mode of securing lo their
relative-, friends, and successors, a certain pro
perty lo their decease, arc daily becoming hotter
understood, and when the subject sliaM become
entirely familiar, its merits will be fully apprecia
ted, and every individual whose means of sup
porting Ids family and dependin'* would t ease at
Ids death, will fuel il advisable, if nm incuuiltent
upon him, to effect an insurance upon his life
No plan that could Ire devised call Ire hotter
adapted lo the wants and silualimi of the great
majority of the coimmmiiy—it commends itself
so directly to that situation, that it is surprising
how it should heretofore have been so long neg
lected, and which can only have arisen from a
want of the necessary information on the subject.
For instance, bow can a poison who has but lit
lie means beyond bis miiiii.il support, leave bis
family or dependents a inmnlenaiiee after lie is
gone! To aeciiinulaie a smilcieiv fund for the
purpose by laying up his savings, he must live
many yeal r- hot slionld tie rile sm.it his purpose
is d.lealed. and bis family wi lomt support. By
insuring ids life, be accomplishes his object at
once, mid as effeclually as if lie hail alread . lived
the full average of human life and made the uc
cumulation without any loss. In fire insurance,
no one now things of laving by money to rebuild
his house in case of lire, because he knows it is
very doulitlnl whether he would live to effect il;
but goes to the office. With how much more
force then dues the same course apply lo life in
surance in the minds of oil reflecting |icrsons: af
ter our services and exertions are absolutely lost
to those wc hold deur.aud there can be no reco»e
ry ina pecuniary view, as in she case of fire when
wc survive again lo remedy the loss.
A creditor might through its means recover a
debt that he may otherwise never obtain should
his debtor die without paying him: or a debi
tor, who has no means hut his own exertions
to pay his creditor, might insure his life lo se
cure the payment, and by so doing show a pro
per regard for his character for prudence and
justice.
An heir, by will or otherwise, depending U)ion
the contingency of life, can make the expectance
certain through insurance, and thus have it in his
power to bestow or bequest the amount although
lie should never conic in possession of it.
Merchants or others engaged in trade, or in
any enterprise harrowing to the mind from the
ncccssitv ofhaving (heir means in the hands of
debtors, may providfe against the hazards of com
merce, by having an insurance beyond the con
trol of the fluctuations incident to their calling,
thereby abating the anxiety ol mind they must
otherwise feci.
But chiefly as a means of leaving a support lo
widows and orphans it stands pre-eminent, and'
becomes with many a very near approach lo a
duty they owe them: and as in fire insurance no
company or person would he willing lo lake she
risk of insuring a house on fire, so neither would
one insure a file attacked by disease, in all human
probability fatal—in health then is the time to
piuvide with the least expense and difficulty fora
contingency that must happen.

c From, the N. O. True American
j New Era in Steam Navigation.—We cal
' the most marked and particular attention of mu
readers to the following extract of a letter (Von
Francis B. Ogden, Esq., our able consul in Li
t verpool, addressed to his enlcrpiiziiig friend
James H. Caldwell, of our city. Il treats of a
subject destined to work a scientific revolution,
a in the succcs of which all our citizens are more
s or less concerned. Il is an application of steam
. power in such a condensed and convenient form,
( that with it our ships may navigate the seas in dc
-1 i fiance of calms if not of storms, and that too with-
I i out any sensible diminution to their capacity of
[ carrying,or any change in their construction, rig
, ging or steering. We called attention to this
subject during the past winter, as being in pro
’ gross, but as we now can point to its entire and
• complete fulfilment, we trust it will receive the
- attention it so fully deserves.
Liverpool July 21,1837.
Dear Caldwell:—l promised you some lime
' since the result of an experment about to lie made
3 ; with a new mode of applying steam power, to
-1 wards which I had advanced the means to the
r very ingenious inventor, Caption Erieson, and
f f r which we have secured patents in this country
ami in the United Stales. I am happy now in
j informing you that it has been successful beyond
Imy most sanguine expectation, and that there
, docs not remain a doubt on my mind but it is
5 destined to effect a revolution in steam naviga
, lion, particularly as adapted lo the ocean,
f The most important feautuics of this invention,
t and that which will no donbt recommend it most
, for practical use, is its perfect applicability to or
. dinary sea-going vessels, without in (he least
l interfering with their sailing properties, and
, without loading them down with machinery.—
I The hulk and weight of such a locomotive en
gine as is in use on every raihoad, is all that will
. he req fired to give a ship of six or seven hun*
dred ions the | ower ol moving at the rate of five
{ miles an hour in a calm; —let the wind do the
I rest, amt you have the most ported mode of pro
gress that can be devised. -'hould your "Ocean
Steam Navigation Company” bo carried into cf
. feci it would only he necessary in the first place
' lo purchase, or have built, just such a ship as
would lie well adapted in every other respect lo
the trade of New Orleans; let her be sent out to
this place with cargo; and in one month, (time
having been previously given lo gel the machine
ry in preparation) she can be fitted out with an
engine and propeller that will certainly give her
five, miles an hour; and that at an expense not
to exceed fifteen hundred pounds sterling. This
invention is simply the application of the power
as God has done it in the fish; and if yoa- have
ever seen one leap out of the water, you will have
had an instance of its wonderful effect. You
must be aware that the principal source of the
loss of power in the wheel us now applied
ovei iheside, is from the imperfect, resistance of
the water. When the wheels me m.ik'ng twelve
miles an hour, the boat is thought to lie doing
well If she goes eight; tlie other four ore eonsc
quently dead i.,-'—the power being expended in
giving motion lo the back wuieT instead oi the boa*.
Whereas in (he new application, when tunning
lighi with our little boat at the late of eleven
miles an hour, we could perceive no calculable
difference between her speed mid that of tlie pro
pcller; and w illi the Toronto in tow, the difference
was only as 710 10. Out liille boat, the “Fran
cis B. Ogden,” on first going into the Thames
received from the waterman t lie name of the “fy
ing devil" and she well deserved it On the
day after her lowing the Toronto, I gave a party
at Greenwich, when she look down a company of
twenty in a large barge astern. These gentlemen
were principally scientific men, inched lor the
puipose; and one and all declared that they were
perfectly satisfied with the result, and that it must
inevitably supen-edc every other kind of wheel.—
There is a short description ofil in the magazine
I enclose; and ns there will yet be. more said on
the subject, I will wait until then (ogive you fur
ther information.
I am, dear Sir, in baste,
Yours, truly,
FR’S. B. OGDEN.
A'ola Jlene. —ln our next wc will give a more
complete description oftbe engine and its powers,
extracted C om the London Mechanics’ Magazine,
together with the certificate of the I’ilot and Mule
of the Toronto, who were on board during the
passage down tbo Thames. Wc feel satisfied
that this is (he commencement ol an entirely new
era in sieam navigalon, specially as applicable to
sea voyages and river lowing. The small size of
the engine, its trifling consumption of fuel, its cap
ability of being moved above or below the deck,
and easy applicability to every sized craft, render
it one of the greatest improvements of the age.

Fiiday, P. M.—The Collector lias addressed a

him 10 postpone the sale of goods that have been
in Public Store three months and more,and which
are subject to cash duties; whether any indul

be paid or the goods sold, the amount of debt due
to the Government from ibis source and from sus
pended Bonds, will be, on the Ist of September,
five millions of dollars. Much anxiety is mani

Our readers, no doubt, all feel, with oursolve
• a deep interest in the developementofa itifferenei
of opinion amongst the friends of the adntinis
, ; (ration upon the currency question. Wc walcli
I its portentous signs, wc confess, almost with a

I for the present, from its embarrassments.
Wo have had occasion, more than once lately,
to call the public attention to the language held
J by the organ of the Van Buren party in New
York, the Times. That paper is assuming a
[ (told, manly and independent tone. It does not
[ hesitate to eh ek the arrogant assumptions of the
Glolte, and open y denies that upon the currency
[ question the latter speaks the sentiments of Mr.
Van Buren. On Thursday the Times referring
to the Globe’s denunciation of the bn mess class
| es of the country, indulges in the following strain
of semi excommunication.
| “ The Globe has long been said to be the Ex
ecutive organ at Washington. Whether this
was true or otherwise in times past, we shall not
here make any inquiry, neither is it in any de
gree material. We only mean to say that wc
do not believe the Globe in this mat er exptesses
the views ofMr. Van Boren. Wc shall he slow,
very slow, to believe that President Van Buren
has in any way countenanced the Globe in ma
king the denunciations alluded to, or that he has
lent his name or influence 4o the doctrines which
they inculcate.
The denunciation nfthe hankers and business
• classes of the city of New York, is a sweeping
denunciation of tlie whole State, its government
and people. And it is, es|teeially, a denunciation
of the Republican Tarty, because lltcy are the
majority, and were foremost in 'he adoption of
the legislative measures to sustain the bankers
ami (lie business classes, and through them the
whole community #l o, for they were all nvolvcd
in the common danger.—The less we hear of that
kind of radical denunciation therefore the better,
and we repeal again, that wc do nut believe Pre
sident Van Buren has, in any way, countenanced
the sentiments »o put forth in the Globe.”

CONGRESS—PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE.
Congte-s meets on the 4lh day of September,
• being ibe first Monday.
Il is desirable that every Whig should lie in his
place on the first dnv oftbe session.
The New York Star thus sjicaks of the Mes
sage of Gen. Jackson’s successor:
The vUrssage. —“The chkkl of thirty-six fa
thers," we mean the President's message, is look
ed for with great interest, ns indicating the course
of Mr. Van Buren and his confidential friends,
that is to say if he commits himselt so far as lo
entrust any one with his real views.
Kendall, his Grand Vizier, is now in this city,
ostensibly to look after post office concerns, but
in reality to pick up opinions among the faithful,
who are in groat trouble. His visit is lo measure
’ thcfoiecof the Loco Foco parly in Tammany
] Hall, and sec how a compromise can be cllcclcd.
Mr. Butler has been on a similar mission for a
fortnight,picking up opinions. Mr. Silas Wright
is in the North and Guv. Mnrey in the West, all
picking up opinions ‘ What will Mrs. Grundy
• sag”—‘‘wh it docs Mrs. Grundy say," and “what
ca t Mre. Grundy say.” A broad and patriotic
vie v of the comb lion ol the country is not con si
, dered necessary by these patriots, it is only “how
will this remedy or that remedy a licet our party
—our individual interest, and keep us in power.”
The President’s message is ol no consequence
at all. He will endeavor to prove that the bank
rupt condition of the country arises from eery
other cause than the right one, via, the despotic
acts of (he administration. He will denounce a I
Banks, and particularly a National Bank; he will
recommend a Treasury Exchequer Note Bank, a
union of the purse and sword, and he knows full
well that Congress will not adopt the proposition,
hut he redeems thereby his personal pledge to the
powers that scaled him in the Presidential chair,
ami after having submitted bis proposition, lie
will leave it for his opponents and recusant

Z THE ILLNESS OF WILLIAM IV—THE
DUTCHESS OF KENT—AND THE
PRINCESS VICTORIA.
Ta the Editors of the N< io York Duiht Express:
PARIS, June 1!), 1837.
Gentleman, —I have often been struck
s with the account, which is recorded in the
“twelfth”chapter nfihe “fi'si” bud; of Sa.nn
el, of the “wi-kedneas of the people in chous
mg a king! Samuel addressed himself to ali
sec ties great tiling which the Led will do
~ beliire ynnr eyes. Is it not wheat liarvest to
r. day! I wdl call unto the Lord, and he shall
i. send iliunder and rain; that ye may perceive
a and sea ill it your wickedness is great which
ye have done in the sight, of the Lord, in ask-
J ingynu a king. So Samuel called unto the
t Lord; and the Lordsont thunder and rain that
day; and all the people greatly feared the
, Lord and Samuel. And all the people said
I unto Samuel, pray for thy servants unto the
r Lord thy God, that we die not; for we have ad
> ded nolo all our sins tins evil, to ask us a
• king!!" Ido not cite the rest of the chapter
! because it mere'y amounts to this, that Samu
el exhorted the people to follow the Lord, and
■ serve him with all their heart—and promised
' to pray for them, notwithstanding their sin in
having chosen a king, assuring them, that, in
1 spite of all their wickedness lie had no doubt
that God having chosen them for his people,
' would not for that sin alone forsake them. So
kings were introduced into the world—and it
is specially recorded, that it was a great sin
and wickedness to have asked for tlie first
, one! The history of all subsequent kings
(without exception) lias confirmed the truth
of Ibis statement—and many a time have the
inhabitants of this world of ours regretted, ,
“that they had added unto all their sms, the
sinofaskin; a king.”
1 wish some one well versed in ancient and
modern history, and having a few leisure hours
cadi day on his hands, would write the “His
tory of Kings,” from Saul downwards. It
should be short and succinct, and should point
out simply the leading crimes of cadi reign, &
the evils both national and general to which
they led. Ls motto should he, “For we have
added unto all our sins this evil—'o ask us a
king!!” I do not think, however, that all blam"
isto bo thrown upon the kings; some portion
belongs to the people. As it, was with Ibo cbiU
dren jf Israel, who “asked” for a King so it is
even in modern times. There are multitudes
who ask for kings still ! When tlie U Ig u"s
made their revolution in 1830, they asked for
a king—and they had Leopold ! VViion the
> Greeks shook oft - the Turkish yoke, they ask
ed for n king—and they bad Oilio ! When
1 the Spaniards rose in 1820 and ’23, they ask
ed for a king—and they bad Ferdinand 7ib.
of blessed memory ! —and when Ibev rose in
1831, they asked for a Queen —an J a pre
cious choice they made in the person of Chris
tina! When the Portuguese broke lhc ; r
bands—and snapped the cords and ilm chains
which bound them—they asked for a Queen
—and they l*id their request answered in
, Donna M iria, who devotes her life to seeking
. how to violate the engagements she has con*
, traded—and how to overthrow the Cousli'u
i tion to which she has sworn. When the
French rose “en masse," in 1830, they first
of all cried “Fire la llepnblnjne —but the
i rich and the timid advanced, and they “asked
for a King !” Their request was soon com
plied with—for there is always an aspirant to
the Throne to be found at a mnine it's notice!
He is always more ready for tlie peop'e, ilian
the people arc fur him. So tlie French were
persuaded into the belict that they could have
a cit.zo.i king ! A Republican king. A pop
, nl ir king ! A cheap king ! Do ne ! that
was the best joke of nil! Vesilhe people
' —tlie French people—alter 40 years of revo
lution—vere persuaded to beheu* in a Cheap
King ! They have been well paid off for
I their folly—but they nre not cured. Oh no,
J if to morrow Louis Philip should die, Ihe
, French, like the children of Israel, would
1 still “add unto their sms ibis evil, to ask a
, new King."
i And as it is in France so it is in England—
. and rather worse. The English nre so inmi
• archical, that now the King is ill, they will
1 neither dance, nor sing, nor give large pur.
' ties, nor amuse themselves witu any oilier son
■ of pleasure than that of reading me insqi.d
■ ami stupid bullelins of his four Pnysiciaus.

Ned."
William IV. is a moderate lory, and In
only tolerated Lord Melbourne in order t
avoid being surrounded by the Radicals. Th
U Duke of Cumberland and the Queen hat
done all they could to persuade William IV
u to return to the Tories. They succeedei
once, but it was such a failure, when Si
Roh't Pool was beaten in his own House o
4 Commons, that the King Ins not been tempt
i, cd to try it again. Toe Duke of Sussex
. wearied of being all his hie in the Opposition
. has been very quiet during the reign of hit
. In "liter anil has generally approved of all thal
I has been done. The Duke of Cambridge it
, Victory of Hanover, bm on (he death of Wil
, ham IV, he will ho supplanted, since the
Duke of Cumberland will then he king o
that eoinury, inasmuch us the throne of Hum.
over can never be pessessed by a woman.
This separation of the throne of Hanover from
that of Great Britain will not lead to any im.
portant changer, either in Hanover or in Ger.
many. The Hanoverians, like the English arc
essentially monarchical, and provided they
are not tearfully oppressed by the Duke of
Cumberland, they will not revolt. Should
the Princess Victoria unexpectedly die, and
I so die without issue, and her uncle of Cum
herlaml be still living, he would ascend the
throne, and be King of Great Britain and
Hanover.
The Dulchoss of Kent is a very worthy wo
man, according to the degree of light she has re
ceived, and according to the position of life in
which she has been placed. An honest son of a
notorious | ickpocket would really ho almost an
iiiionuilv. Wc must not expect too much from
princess and prin-esses, when wc see Itow the peo
ple are in a buriy'lo make them kings and queens.
Thu Dutchess of Kent is absorbed in her daugh
ter. She has wished lo make her a quiet, Sensi
ble, virtuous young wom.in—and I believe she
has succeeded. Her mind is as pure us Iter per
son—and the Princess Victoria would, I am con
vinced, render most happy any English gentle
man to whom she might ho united hy the lies of
mariiago. But is she capable of ascending the
throne ! Why not 1 Sue has quite us much, I
if not more capacity, than any of her uncles,aunts,
or cousins! with perhaps the sole exception o
the Duke Sussex, who is an admirable scholar,
as well as a very excellent man. Besides, what
great talent is required to be it k'ng or a queen !
Look at Ihe histories of all kings and queens from
Sml downwards, and tell mo where can lie mot
with (he histories of such block heads in any oilier,
nay, in all the other ranks of life 1 It has been
perhaps unu of ihe greatest mercies for mankind,
that kings and queens hare been "so stupid.”
If they had been clever us well as wicked, there
would have been no peace for those who “ asked
for a king.”
The Dutchess of Kent has kept her duughlher
exclusively English. She has not allowed her
to ho surrounded by Petrosians, Hanoverians, ot
Germans, She kept her indued n good deal “up
in the corner”—and the Tories complain that
she has not hud enough of her own way, consider
ing the probabilities there were that s,.c Would be
railed on to ascend the tlirnnv at nil early period
of her life. There is no way, however of pleasing
the Tories. If she had been brought up less stiii
ply, and had gone much into Society, and hud
seen all parties, they would have accused the
Dutchess of Kent of allowing her daughter lo 1*
approached by the radical puny, and of exposing
her to the seductions of popularity, and the love
of applause. They would also have said that
the Dutchess of Kent wished lo have her daughter
popular at the oxpenie of the reigning monarch.
She has done otherwise. At Tunbridge Wells,'
or al other quiet spots, she has spent a good por
tion ol her days with Iter daughter, and has de
voted a greater part of her life lo reading and re
flection. The Tories soy that the Princess Vie
loria is a Radical ; that is to say, she is not a
Tory ; that is to say, she is disposed to reform,
bin not lo revolution : that is lo say, she will ml
reject the claims of the dissenrers—oflho Roman'
Catholics ; or of Ireland, for the sake of maintain
ing * conic uni conle” the supremacy of the
Church of England. But is the Princess Vic
toria prepared to reform Ihe House of l.ords—to
cleanse out the Augean stable, and by an infuioiis
of young and vigorous peers, willt young and vi
gorous notions —to neutralize the influence of
the old aristociacy of the coun ry ! 1 think' rtlH*
I feel convinced not. No. no—lbe Princess
Victoria cannot be a Radical! For she cannot
lie a llutlicnl and ex;icct to be u Queen. A
“ lladicul Queen” would he just as absurd an
i,| ctt as the nonsensical notion of u “ Citizen
King." To radicalize in England, would be
lo root up Ihe privileges, immense income, poCt,
and authority of lint Crow n. How (hen can (he
Princess Victoria lie expected o commit suicide
on her own power and authority.
But to which pary will the Princes* Victmia
address herself when she ascends the throne! T«.
the aVisiocracy! To the democracy! Or to bolh!
Will she become a Tory, and Imve Sit Robert
PeM and the Duke of Wellington for Iter guides!
Or to lord Domain, anil Ihe radical party of ihe
country! Or will she lake ami Idle course, and
appeal to I. ml Sian ey, Sir James Graham, and
die Duke of Richmond, and endeavour lo form a
coalilton caltinei/ The long eonliiiiianco in of
fiee of Lord Melbourne and ol Lord Palmerston,
with their oflt nil supporters, is. I take it, t/i/tfe
impossible. They hate seen their day. They
have run their race. They have done their best
mil their best has bo it very bid.
The general elections which will take place
within a given time after the demise of the
' crown, will probably decide the young Queen ns
Ito the line of conduct site shall pursue. But in
TfitMßM!! limu sl>e must come to a
cUinn. fjoifKrdKc "mustTbc Minister while the
elections arc taking place —and the Minister who
shall then he in power, will of course influence
these elections.
Will then the young Queen resolve on contin
uing the present men in office until the result ol
the elections shall be known! This would be
most absurd! Far bcNler would il be for her,to
choose a Tory, ora radical Ministry at once—
and let the electors of Great Britain be called on
to approve or lo condemn the choice. Then would
she lie aware of the slate ot die opinion, al least
ol ihe elector tl body —and her future measures
might be regulated accordingly.
' But will tlie Princess Victoria reform Ibe
House of Lords —shorten the parliament—con
’ sent to the vote by ballot, and order it lo be intro
duccil as a government measure—grant Ilie de
• inandsoflhc Roman- Catholics and Ireland—ol
. the dissenters and the hater* of all monopolies in
