Tun Revenue.—We understand th at the
amount of duties secured at the Custom Mouse
in this city for the first quarter of the cur
rent year, was about 85,500,000, and that
since the present law went into operation, the
monthly amount here has been one million of
dollars. So that if the importations which
have taken place since the 4th of March shall
prove a fair average, the receipts in New
York for a year from that time will be twelve
millions of dollars.
From these principles it would appear that
1 m cring duties does not necessarily decrease
the revenue. We have no exact data by
which to ascertain the fact, but presume there
can be little doubt that, when it is considered
that tea and coffee now come in duty free,
as well as many other articles, the increase
of importation has been considerable in some
vpreies of merchandize, otherwise the duties
could not amount to a million of dollars per
month—Mcr. Adv.
iNSANITt IN TIIE UNITED STATES.—Dr.
Rrighan, in his addenda to Spurzheim’s
work, says that, in 1812, it was ascertained
that there were 10U0 deranged persons in Con.
noriicut, or one to 2(i2 of the inhabitants
This is enormous. The proportion in Scot
land is only one to 575.
In New York, eight ycar3 ago, thcYc were
reported to be 819 lunatics, and 1421 idiots,
or about one to 700 inhabitants; but this re
turn is believed to have been deficient. If it
be not so, there is much less insanity in that
State than in several others.
It was reported, by a committee of our
Legislature, last January, that in 68 towns in
Massachusetts, containing a population of
214,327, there were 1G8 lunatics and 111 idi
ots in public confinement. This would make
over 600 to the whole State, or one to 1000 ;
but undoubtedly, as Dr. Brigham suggests,
one half or more of this unfortunate'class,
ere under private management. He thinks
that an accurate inquiry would exhibit per
haps twice the number just named. The wri
ter. on the whole, comes to the conclusion
that there is more insanity in this country, in
proportion to our population, than in any other
,>n the (llobe. The causes alleged <%re the
general excitement of intellect and passions,
owing to our tircc institutions—premature ed
ucation of children, and especially girls—and
finally intemperance to a vast extent. It is
a curious fact that great revolutions, that is,
periods of great and general excitement, have
always multiplied this disorder. This was
the case with the Irish rebellion, with our
own and the French revolutions, and with the
reformers of Luther.—lioston Journal,
that the consumption of more than double the
quantity of cumbustible matter yielded less
light. This last circumstance proves the ad
vantage of snuffing candles frequently, both
as regards the quantity of light and the econ
omy of the practice.—Mathew's Compendium.
Drought.—We regret to hear that the
crops in this section of the country have sus
tained serious and permanent injury, in con
sequence of the excessive drought which has
| prevailed for some weeks. To what extent
the country has suffered is as yet impossible
to ascertain ; though in the immediate vicin
ity of this place, its disastrous effects are
i iow visible on the com and cotton crops.
1 Ye trust that it has not been general over
tl e State. Our latest accounts from the
YV r estem District afforded favorable represen-
tat ions of the prospects of the planter in that
qut rter.—Nashville Republican.

PUIVILEGES OF THE SEXES IN ENGLAND.
The ages of male and female in England are
different for different purposes : A male at 12
years old may takethc oath of allegiance: at 14
is at years of discretion, and may consent or
disagree to marriage—may choose his guar
dian, and if his discretion be proved, may
take a testament of his personal estate ; at
seventeen, may he an executor; andattwen-
ty-ono is at his own disposal, and may alien
bis lands, goods and chattels. A female at
seven years may be betrothed, or given in
marriage; at nine is entitled to dower: at
twelve is at years of maturity, and may con-
sent or disagree to marriage, and if proved
»o have sufficient discretion, may bequeath
her personal estate; at fourteen is at years
cf legal discretion, and may choose a guardi
an ; at seventeen may be executrix : and at
twenty-one may dispose of herself and lands.
that full age in male or female, is twenty-
one years, who till that time, is styled an in
fant in law. Scotland agrees with England
in this point.—A Barrister's Introduction to
the Laws of England.
An Immense Estate—We extract the
following from the news books at the North-
cm Liberties Free Admission News Rooms of
yesterday.
“We noticed a few days ago a rumor
which prevailed in this city, that the Chancel
lor of New York had decided in favor of the
claimants in the important case of the Trinity
Church, which has been contested in law for
many years; and which involves property to
the amount of twenty five millions of dollars;
one of the principal heirs to which we learn,
is Mr. George Brewer, of Kensington, in
this city, an elderly gentleman, in moderate
circumstances, formerly a cleTk in the old
United Stales Bank. It is stated that they
have made a claim to 130 acres more, situa
ted in the centre of the city of New York,
which, with the other lands, will not only em
body the church, but its revenues, as well as
some of the most valuable real estates in that
city. This property has been a subject of
dispute ever since the close of the American
revolution.”—Phil. Chron.
Advantage of Snuffing Candles.—
Count Rumford made various experiments to
ascertain the relative expense of different in-
flammable substances for the production of
light, and the results were, that a good wax
candle, properly snuffed and burned with a
clear bright flame, consumed, 100 parts in
weight; a good tallow candle, burning under
the same circumstances, consumed 101; but
a similar tallow candle, burning very dim L
from the want of snuffing, consumed 229, so
Ccr.Timenccmcnt—This literary feast or festival,
which is annually served up by our University, to the
good p 3iiple of the State, has once more passed by
undistin jniishcd from those which have preceded it,
only perhaps, by the richness of the repast and the
numbers and respectability of those who partook
of it.
There it; nothing that so conclusively proves to
our minds f.he growing importance and favor of
Franklin College with the people of Georgia, than
the increasf ng interest which from year to year seems
to be manifested by them, towards its public exercises
on Commencement occasions.
The crov/d which flocked to our Village to wit
ness them o n tho late occasion, has been rarely if ev
or surpassed, either as regards numbers or respecta
bility; and never, we believe, so far as respects good
feeling and devotion to the prosperity of the Institu
tion.
From tho Mountains and from the Sea Coast—
from the Eas t and from the West, camo the Divine,
the Lawyer, the devotee to the Arts and Sciences,
the Planter, ‘the Yeoman—and last, though not least
in rich profusion, “ Heaven’s last best gift,” to unito
together in tho common cause of literature, and by
their presence and countenance to advance the inter
est and respectability of their now favored and flour
shing University. We do not pretend to say, how.
ever, that this was the paramount object, of all who
attended the late Commencement; but do believe
there were few indeed, so exclusively devoted to per
sonal or party aggrandizement as not to have felt in
some degree tho all pervading influence which actu
ated the multitude, or who left us without breathing
a parting benediction for the prosperity and success
of Franklin College.
Politicians and religious sectarians may continue
to quarrel and squabble on other subjects, but we be.
lievc the day has now arrived when the University of
Geogia has ceased to be influenced or affected by their
bickerings. All parties and all sects, with credit to
their feelings as men, and to their liberality as pub
lic bodies, seem to have mutually agreed to place it
on its proper footing—on a middle ground where they
can all meet as citizens of the State, and in a com.
mon cause and on a common altar, offer up their sac
rifices unpolluted by that distrust and jealousy which
so unfortunately enters into other matters connected
with the public interest.
The Commencement Sermon was delivered on the
Sabbath to a large and respectable audience of citi
zens and strangers, by the Rev. Dr. lVaddcl, former
ly President of the University.
On Monday there were no exercises of a public na<
ture. A meeting of the Board of Trustees took place
for the transaction of business; the results of its de
liberations, however, we have not yet learned.
On Tuesday the Junior Class exhibited before
large, and wo believe, a gratified and delighted au
dience. The following are tho names of the young
gentlemen who engaged in the exercises, and the
subjects upon which they spoke:
H. L. Benving, P. K. S*.—The triumphs of Reason.
H. Cobb, P. K. S.—Tho peculiar motives to intel
lcctual exertion in Ameiica.
H. V. Johnson’, P. K. S.—Should the classics con-
stituto an essential part of a liberal education ?
J. Milledge, P. K. S.—The noblest motive is the
public good.
F. J. Walker, P. K. S.—Imprisonment for Debt.
A. Reese, D. S.—Why things are so.
On Wednesday, Commencement day, Addresses
were delivered by the following gentlemen;
J. C. Cozby, D. S.' (2d Honor)—Latin Salntatory.
P. Clacton, D. S Fame.
W. H. Harris, D. S.—Powers of man and vicissi
tudes of his existence.
A. P. Powers, P. K. S.—Triumph of Free Princi
ples.
C. R. Ketchum, P. K- S. (3d Honor)—-Influence of
moral feeling on the Intellect.
A. G. Foster, D. S.—Tho propriety* of an equal
distribution of Property.
J. S. W. Pinckaru, D. S.—•‘The tnio state of eve
ry nation is the state of common life.”
J. II. George, P. K. S.—Manual Labor.
B. E. Habersham, P. K. S. (3d Honor)—Utility of
Metaphysics.
J. J. Gresiiam, P. K. S. (1st Honor)—Valedictory.
After the delivery of tho public addresses, tho de
gree of A. B. vv i8 conferred on the following young
gentlemen composing the graduating class :
Philip Clayton—Athens.
James C. Cozby—Abbeville, S. C.
Adam G. Foster—Green.
Bedney Franklin—Athens.
James F. W. Freeman—Savannah.
James H. George—Jones.
John T. Grant—Athens.
John J. Gresham—Burke.
B. Elliot Habersham—Savannah.
Edward R. Harden—Athens.
Vim. H. Harris—Abbeville, S. C.
Daniel Ingles—Whitesborough, N. Y.
Golden R. Ketchum—Augusta.
Jas. S. W. Pinckard—Monroe.
Abner P. Powers—Monroe.
Henry Saunders—Crawford.
Degrees of A. M. were conferred on John S. Dob
bins, John Floyd, Marcus Aurelius Franklin, James
Watkins Harris, Geo. L. Holmes, Henry Kneeland,
Felix M’Kinne, Sami. Rutherford, Ebenezer Starnes,
Wm. W. Wiggins, George M’Duffie Vance, and
George F. Pierce, Alumni of this College, and on
Dr. Jacob G. M’Whorter, a graduate of Princeton
College.
With regard to tho whole exercises, we have heard
but one sentiment expressed by those with whom we
have conversed on the subject, viz : that they reflect
ed unusual credit on the Institution, and were well
calculated to raise it high in the aficctions and the
confidence of the public. We understand that 22
have been examined and admitted into College; a
much larger number than usual.
ET Among the distinguished individuals who fa
vored the late commencement with their presence,
were Gov. Lumpkin, the Hon. Wm. II. Crawford,
Col. Troup, the Hon. George R. Gilmer, and tho
Hon. Geo. McDuffie of South Carolina. Tho polit
ical friends of tho latter gentleman, we understand,
gave him a public dinner on Wednesday afternoon.
On which occasion, it is said the South Carolina
Champion delivered an eloquent address.
3 J" Tho Hon. A. S. Clayton addressed the public
week or two since through the Georgia Journal,
contradicting a report in circulation, giving to a mon
ied transaction of his with the Bonk of the United
States, a coloring well calculated to injure his integ
rity as a Statesman and his purity as a man.
We were not among those who gave currency to
the report, yet we deem it a duty we owe both to him
and the public, as public journalists, to state, that
his explanation of the transaction is, to our minds,
perfectly satisfactory.
and extremely painful; but he sustained it with
Christian patience, and with the most perfect resig
nation to the will of God. Not a murmuring word
did he utter from the first to the last, because, “ amidst
outward affliction ho felt Christ within” to support
and comfort huq.
The writer of this very feeble and imperfect tribute
of respect to tho memory of the deceased, visited him
on the morning before his death, and remained with
him until the hoar of his dissolution, and while strict,
ly “ marking tho perfect men, and beholding the up.
right” he saw to the joy of his heart, and the further
confirmation of his faith in the truth and importance
of our holy Religion, that “ the end of such a man
is peace.” His blessed Redeemer was constantly
with him: and evon in the agonies of death, when
asked by a weeping friend who stood by, whether he
felt resigned, he answered in a weak though very
emphatic tone, yes I do perfectly. Thus “ it is well
with the righteous both in time and eternity.”
Mr. Thomas has left a widow and six small chil
dren, liesides a number of friends and relations, to
mourn their irreparable loss, which to him is infinite
and eternal gain.—[Commuwcoted.\

PUBLIC MEETING.
At a meeting of a large number of tho citizens of
Hall County, held agreeably to previous notice at the
Court House iu Gainesville, on Monday the 5th day
of August 1833; Nchcmiah Garrison, Esq.was chosen
Chairman and James Law Secretary ; after which,
Major R. Mitchel rose and in a brief and explicit 1
manner, made known the object of the meeting—
when Major S. Clark introduced some resolutions
for tho adoption of the meeting. Other resolutions
were then offered to the meeting as a substitute for
Major Clark’s, by Major Mitchell. In support of tho
substitute, Major Mitchell submitted his views ‘ at
large, and was followed by Mr. R. Thornton in sup
port of the substitute. Joseph Dunnagan, Esq. next
in order, addressed tho meeting in support of the
original resolutions, am],was succeeded on the same
side by II. L. Sims, Esq. Wm. H. Underwood, Esq.
then addressed the meeting at considerable length in
favor of ’ tho substitute. He was followed by Maj.
Clark and Gen. Bates, who advocated the original
resolutions. The speakers having concluded, it was
proposed to take the sense of the meeting by a divis
ion of the whole—and on counting it was found there
was a majority in favor of the substitute, which was
accordingly adopted.
PREAMBLE AND RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas, in common with many of the republican
and patriotic citizens of Georgia, we havo for a long
time most anxiously desired a reduction of our Leg.
islature and a just equalization of our representation,
and still believe that public interest imperiously de
mands such an alteration of onr Constitution as will
effect the desired end, yet we cannot believe a reduc
tion which places the minority in rule over the ma
jority in the State, is just, republican, or can be ap
proved by any but those who have forgotten or con
temn the cherished principle, that all men are by na.
ture equal.
YY’e hold tho late proceedings of the Convention
which assembled at MilledgeviUe for the purpose of
amending our Constitution, as noxious to liberty, sub.
versive of equal rights and deserving alike the exe
cration of the poor man, as well os him on whom for
tune has smiled.
Be it therefore Resolved, That we feel deeply in-
dignant at the proceedings of said Convention, and
view the proposed amendment, as illiberal, and un
worthy tho ago in which we live.

Thomas, though not so extensively known, yet he
was highly respected by all who knew him, and were
capable of duly appreciating real worth. He was
lover of his species, and the exercise of his philan
thropy knew no other bounds, than those prescribed
by impossibility itself. In the fall of 1829, he was
