Havre, March, 183?. [Correspondence of the Transcript] I have seen a guidebook somewhere which calls this clever little sea port (at the mouth of the Seine) “ unc grande belle riche et forte vllle maratimeand some body else gives it the modest title of the Liv erpool of France. It only shows how uncom mercial, a3 well as how vain, a people the French are. It is true, however, nbtwithstand ing the ludicrous mal-apropos of these preten sions, that Havre is a commercial, busy, thrifty little town ;,thc most strictly mercantile ma rine depot probably in the kingdom—which, you will bear in mind, is not saying a great deal. This pre-eminence it owes to its situa tion on the river, and. its proximity both to Paris and the sea. It being on the western coast also has given it an opportunity in the Colonial trade, and more latterly in the Amer ican, for you do not need to be informed tint our business is transacted mostly with this port. An American will notice the ships of his countrymen here, in the basins, at once, in the midst of all these heterogeneous and fan tastic craft. I read with some pleasure in deed the familiar names of Boston and Salem on the sterns of the finest of these vessels, for the first time in France. As for the new pack et, Burgundy, which lay at the dock’s edge, ready for sea, (having just made her passage 4n fifteen days) there is no end to the admira tion she seems to receive. The French have crowded on board ever since her arrival, and they declare, after an examination, that they should not have believed such a ship could be made. She is, in fact, perhaps as fine a pack et as we have; her measurement over 800 cus tom house tons, with«plendid accommodations for more than sixty passengers in the cabin alone. It cannot but gratify an American abroad, to find so flattering an estimate enter tained of the science and skill of his country men, and especially to see it so justly deserv ed. Havre, in the old world, is called a young place, being only about 1150 years advanced in life, which in Europe of course is a mere chick. The business here, what with the ports of wines, brandies, silks, &c. is considerable, and larger in proportion to the population, undoubtedly than in any other city of France; the number of inhabitants-being only abont 25,000. It is the only place in the country within my knowledge, where even the majority of the people had the air of being honafde employed. In other places the mar vel has been to me, how “ all this multitude” could continue to live without apparently hav ing any thing to wear, to eat, or to do; and the more I see of them the more always the wonder grows. Here, alone, it is not so. There is a real business done here : by whom matters not much to me; the majority is French, I presume; but the mixture of various foreigners among them, and the communica tion with foreign nations so great, that the bus iness habit they have at last fallen into may be considered more foreign than French. Havre is a kind of commercial school for the nation, where Englishmen, Dutchmen, and Americans have been the teachers. The natives are the pupils. If they make clever ones in this case it does not after all make against the theory that their national- character is an uncommer cial, an unpractical, and unbusiness one, as I have formerly described it It only shows that under good auspices, and strong stimulus, the French can and will attempt and accomplish almost what they please; and that we knew before. Nobody suspects them of stolidity. Their difficulty is the reverse rather. They arc too quick more than too slow. Tiicir ex citability makes them volatile; and it is only special circumstances and severe drilling that will counteract this tendency to fly off. They must be “ broke hi” to business, as they are at Havre ; and then kept in, as you keep a wild colt in a luggage-wagoa, with blinders on, and a load behind him, f ill lugging and tugging subdue his spirits and the dancing disposition is fairly figged out of him. Whether it is quite out of the good Havre people yet, l have soinn doubt. The Cases are rather suspicious again. Twenty large ones in this little town, with as many hotels besides ! And then the “ Patisserie” —the “ Pavfumerie” —tho “ Coiffeurs”—the “ Magazins des Modes” —the “ Confiseries”—the “ Eau-de-vie” —the flashy “ Bijouterie”—and the trash and trifles, in a word, of every description ; it is vanity of vanities indeed. St ill they make a business of it, such as it is, and a brisk one. This am bitious little “Rue do Paris” is a thorough fire that would do no dishonor to New York itself, and might be taken at a little distance for a long slice of that busy city, inserted in Havre by some mistake. And an Omnibus, too, they have, as well as a Steamboat, at last. 1 should be really tempted to give them credit for some practicability after all, in spite of tho Confiseries and the Cases—but alas! I have but to stroll ten minutes out of town, and seb the country people go out and come in; the undrifted—the natives—the real French. I notice the milk boys and girls for example, with their huge square wooden hampers of tin jars, filled in with straw, on horseback, and they themselves on top of that; and such hor ses and harnesses to boot! Every thing in the way of business, in fact, is done in the most awkward, shabby, shiftless manner. No im provements are introduced from age to age. No advantage is taken from foreign example, and they will not reflect for themselves. They are not a working people. They can walk, (lance, dress, fiddle, fence, fight, sing, and, above all things, talk ; but to do any thing, is out of their fine. Look at the provinces. Look at Paris. Look at the agriculture, the manu factures, the commerce, of these thirty mil lions of brilliant w ine drinkers, and of this magnificent empire of France. Nay, look at the houses, the furniture, the smallest things— every thing. Look at those, and consider their history, and be convinced. No! Ask for tho French at the festivals: give them a Revolu tion to work out in three days, and to bo slaves ever after, ( as an Indian hunts down a deer,! and then lies idle a month;) talk of glory and | liberty to them; call them“aux armes! aux j arincs!”—aye, give them all Europe to conquer but Napoleon to lead—and there are the I French. But do not ask them to work! I must not let my essay-mania prevent mo from reminding you that' Havre is the birth place of Bernard in St rierre. It need not be feared, however, that the French frill forget it, though you should, 'lTey never let you for get any thing of the kind. The house is still standing here, with a marble tablet let into its from wall, as in the case of the houses of Fon tonelle and Corneille at Rouen, and of the one also at Tloulngne, which I might have montion ied before, whore the famous Gil Itias man, Lo page, was not bom, but died; which, with the f now men, of course, is all the same, let the I'tvontv have credit for the Skirfii. Sophist.—Tho Gorman papers give an amusing account of the successful dex terity of a young author at Berlin, who by the skilful management of his powers of reasoning, contrived to cany off two prizes which had been offered by learned bodies for the best es says upon the opposite sides of the same ques tion. The subject in contention was that of what is called the homir.opathic system in med icine—a subject upon which the medical men very generally throughout the continent appear now to be fairly at loggerheads. The faculty of medicine at Riga, it seems, lately offered a prize of 100 ducats for the host treatisies upon, and in favor of, the system in question. The faculty of Medicine at St. Petersburg, on the other hand, and about the same time, offered a prize of GO golden Fredericks for tho strong est proofs that it was a delusion. Under these circumstances a smart young surgeon at Ber lin stepped forward, and incognito to both, by treating his subject to suit their different tastes, succeeded in assuring the doctors of Riga that eonirropathy w as not a system of quackery, and of convincing those of St Petersburg that it was. As the candidate-essays were anony mous, and very little direct intercourse be tween the two societies, it was of course not known that the favorite reasoner cut with a two-edged sword ; but now that the discovery has been made, it has subjected those learned doctors to very general banter* throughout Germany, Grrat natural Curiosity. Professor Emmons, in his report on the Geology of tho Northern Counties of New' York, thus de scribes the appearance of a great curiosity in the State. “ ‘The Notch,’ about five miles from the Iron works at Newcomb is next to the falls of Nia gara, the greatest natural curiosity in the state, and is well worth a visit from the lovers of magnificent scenery. It is an immense gorge or chasm furnishing a passage through these high mountains. On one side a preci pice of solid rock rises perpendipjjlary by measurement, from 10 to 200 feet, and on the other side a steep mountain attains an eleva tion of 5000 feet—the north branch of the Hud son, and the south branch of the Ausable, both rise iu tills gorge, the former flow ing south,the latter north, the tw 7 o streams being so near to each other at these sources that during freshets their waters mingle. Even the fragments of rock, says the professor, lying in this notch arc wonderful for size, one measured 41 feet wide, and 34 feet high—it is quadangular in form, and will weigh about 5000 tons, and is only one among hundreds of the same size. It is from facts like these that we learn what migh ty forces have operated in former times.” England— By an Englishman. The con flict now going on, will, 1 verily believe, end in the triumph of the Aristocracy. The mid dling classes m-e afraid of revolution. Sir R. Peel is the imn for the shopkeepers. The rabble even like him better than they do Lord Melbourne. The English arc so afraid of com motion—real insurrection—real revolution and bloodshed. The English love discussion— love petitioning—love election banquets—and conservatine or radical dinners —(both nearly alike) —and if John Bull can but have a vent for his spleen and ill humor, he will put np with more insult, and pay more taxes, than any other being under the sun. [O. P. Q’s Letter. The following is a copy of a letter from the King of the Sandwich Islands, granting per mission to publish a newspaper in his domin ions : - “ To Stephen D. Mackintosh, Honolulu Oahu. I assent to the letter which you sent me. It affords me pleasure to sec tho works of other lands and things that are new. If I was there, i should very much desire to sec. I have said to Kinau, make Printing Presses. My thought is ended. Love to you and Reynolds. By King Jvauikoaouli.” A Drunken Man Hanged ry Mistake. We learn from the New* Hampshire States man, that on Friday, the sth instant, tho neigh bors of Samuel Carr, of Antrim, N. 11. were called by an alarm of distress to his house.— Two of them, very respectable gentlemen, en tered the house, and found Carr heating his wife w ith a chair, which he had nearly shatter ed to atoms upon her person. They imme diately secured the lawless and cruel monster, tied his hands, and in order to secure him in , the house till the proper authority could lake , him in custody, they fastened a rope about his neck, and secured it to some immovable object, and wont in pursuit of tho municipal authori ties of the town. Carr was left alone in a room, where they found him on their return a corpse! He had fallen down in such a man ner, being drunk, as to produce strangulation. No blame is attached to his neighbors, by those acquainted with the circumstances. A good story is told of a stranger in Paris, who was standing lately at tho door of the Opera Comiquo, waiting for admission, lie felt a hand placed on his watch-pocket, imme diately found that his watch was not there.— Turning round to the person behind him, and seizing him by the arm, he ordered him to re turn his watch. The man immediately gave him a watch and disappeared. On returning home after the performance, the stranger was much astonished to find his watch hanging up in his room. He had forgotton to take it with him, and had received from the thief the watch of some other person, which had just been stolen. * New Proposition in Surgery. A cor respondent of the New York Express, announ ces his ability to cure consumption, by cutting away the deceased lungs ! The reasons upon which tho writer in the; Express founds his assurance of the feasibility ■ of this mode of cure, are: First—a man can; breathe and retain his good health with one of his lungs only. Secondly—nature sometimes i effects a cure by drying up one of the lungs,! and this is the only method in which she does effect a cure. Thirdly—the operation is ncith- and or difficult nor dangerous. And fourthly, the diseased lung may he wholly removed, if neces sary. ’ I j • i j M’llc Mars, the Eempilerrui of the flowers j that bloom in the halls of tho Drama, hastf at ' the green age of G 5, we believe, renewed with M.

The preface to Dr. Jackson’s Report on the Geology Os Maine | concludes with the following sentence: “The world has its history written on its | strata; a history so interesting, that the most i splendid fictions of the human imagination sink into insignificance when compared with it, i in the same measure as all human productions | must, when compared to the eternal works of | the Creator.” Celeste, a dancing straglcr now flourishing ! in tho West, states in a letter to a Boston edi | tor that the good people of Mobile, New Or ; leans, &c. have paid her the sum of timity four thousand dollars in the short space of ntne | tij days, for amusing them with the shake of I her tinney feet. We wonder how much a poor I woman could obtain there by honest industry !in tho same length of time ? But as times are i hard this may not be a fair question.—[Colum- I bus Enquirer. j Florida Sewing Silk.

It has been calculated that ifthe capital of the United States Bank (35 millions) were in one cubic block of gold, it would measure on each side about 50 1-2 inches; and its weight would be upwards of 63 tons.

The Indians come into Tampa Bay ve ry slowly, and indeed it is very doubtful whether they can be all removed to their destined abode before the fall of the year. The numerous herde of cattle and horses they possess, renders time indispensable to collect them, besides the very accepta ble rations at present issued to them from the U. S. stores, induces me rationally to conclude, that they are by no means anx ious to emigrate. Peace we crave, plen ty they have ; so let it be until the fall, when they must and shall go.

Jle speaks our language with fluency, is correct in his deportment and rather polished in his manners; the latter acquirement has obtained for him admit tance into some of our most respectable families—lie is fond of the society of the ladies, and loses no opportunity to visit them—in fact, for an Indian, he is nrara avis. They both belong to the Regiment of friendly Creeks now in the service of tlie U. States. No News. It is now a long time that we are without news from Europe, espec ially for this season of the year, while there has been a considerable prevalence of easterly winds. The next intelligence is awaited with anxiety by the mercantile community. The effect of the intelligence in England of the disastrous state of af fairs here, is yet to be learned, and the question whether the heavy failures in this country are to be followed by the failure of important houses connected with the commerce of this country, is yet to be determined. There must also be much uncertainty as to the effect which the recent events may have had in various olher ways. Many persons expect to hear that the intelligence from this country will have produced very important effects on the state of affairs in England, and even that the Bank of England may be under the necessity of adopting the course of the banks here in stopping specie payment. We do not see sufficient reasons for ex pecting such a result, though there can be no doubt that the depression of commer cial affairs here, will be very seriously felt in its effects on the trade of Great Britain. —[Boston Advertiser. Steamboat Racing. —The meeting at Natchez held on the occasion of the disas ter to the steamboat Ben Sherrod, referred to in yesterday’s paper, passed a number of resolutions, among which were recom mendations to the Legislature of the State to adopt measures <Ur prohibiting steam boat racing, and other acts of imprudence, rashness and ignorance on the part of commanders and officers of steamboats, by which the lives of passengers ,are put in danger ; and also a recommendation to the Legislatures of other States, bor dering on tho Mississrpi and Ohio rivers, and to Congress,if necessary, to cooperate in the adoption of such measures as shall remedy the evils complained of. They passed resolutions also, censuring in the strongest terms the conduct of the cap tains of the Ben Sherrod and the Alton, and complimenting the prompt, energetic, and humane conduct of the captains and crews of the Columbus and Statesman. They appointed committees, to prepare a memorial to the Legislature, and to ob tain signatures of the citizens to it, and al so to procure subscriptions for the relief of the sufferers by the disaster.

Smith's new Brick Machine, inventedhy Calvin Waterman, now in operation in this place, take pleasure in resommending it to the public. Tlie fact of its performance 13 its best recommendation. We timed it, and find that with new moulds and inexperienced hands', it made al the rate of two thousand three hund red and sixty-eight brick per hour. By mould ing ten hours in a day. it would therefore turn out twenty-three thousand six hundred per day. It requires six boys to bear off, and four tossed the moulds, Ac together with four grow® men. Thus fourteen hands are sufficient to make llie above named quantity of the most beautiful brick per day.’ JOHN SPRINGER, . DAVID F.
