From the New York Sunday Mofning News. Rev. Mr. Milton, late of Newbury fort. We promised in our notice of this ec centric divine, published a few weeks since, to give our readers some additional anecdotes, illustrative of those peculiarities of character which that notice developed to some extent; and this promice we hasten to perform: From some cause or other, Mr. Milton had conceived a very strong prejudice against that unfortunate race of beings who have, of late, proved the source of so much angry discussion in our country—the colored population of the land. He could not abide the sight or hearing of negroes. It seemed an innate, instinctive aversion. When abolition began to be dis cussed in Massachusetts, the arrival of a color ed preacher at Newburyport was deemed quite an event by the immediatists—-for there was a band of them there—and as Mr. Miltfen’s church ivas the largest in the town, the use of the pulpit was solicited, as the rostrum upon which this “ gentleman offcolor” should display his eloquence. Mr. Milton addressed the ap plicant something as foliows-“Go to my church and tell the committee what you want. The house is theirs to do as they like with; if they give consent, my opinion is of no consequence. But just mention, while you are about it, if you please, that if that nigger preaches in my pul pit, I never go into it again.” The discourse was elsewhere delivered. Mr. Milton was no great lover of innovations. He was an old school divine, as well as an old school man. He loved moral reforms, and aid ed them by advice and counsel, as well as by the best and purest example. But he did not like the forcing system, so characteristic of our own times, and so illustrative of tire phrenic tone of our national character in such matters. Thus he came slowly into the great temper ance discussion; and was never a friend to those protracted seasons of church going, in tended to produce artificial revivals, and forced conversions. As to the slavery question he avoided it and shunned it, as if there were con tamination in any kind of contact with it— Speaking of all these subjects as characteris ing “ the times we live in,” Mr. Milton once remarked, “ When I came into the pulpit, and for years after, religion used to be the princi pal topic preached upon; now, it is all rum and niggers!” Very certain it is, there was no room in Mr. Milton’s heart, kind as it was ever to those of his own colot, for the reception of those, who, as Cowper says, ‘Were guilty of a skin, notcolored like his ow.n’ A minister of the Congregational order one day presented to him “the Rev. Mr. ,” who was described by the introducer, as “ brother ,of the African church, in .” Look ing suddenly around at the introducer, the ec centric preacher somewhat severely replied, “I had always thought that all my mother’s children were white, sir!” You could not make the old man love a black; and it was a prejudice “fire could not melt out of him.” There "was many years ago a disposition on the part of some portion of Mr. Milton’s con gregation—a fancy that is periodical in almost all old fashioned parishes of the congregafi§Bi al order—to hold talk, prayer meetings, exhor tations, and relations of experiences—any body who chooses, being for the time, the spokesman for the edification of the rest A demonstra tion of this kind once developed itself in the church, on a Sunday morning, immediately af ter a discourse of the old pastor. Someone of the parishioners, feeling suddenly moved to speak on the matter in hand, got up, and com menced an extemporate harangue to tire rest of the congregation. Whereupon Mr. Milton, looking over the pulpit through his spestacles, and ascertaining the locality and name of the aspiring orator, peremptorily bade him to be seated. The delinquent did so; and that was the end of lay preaching in the old two steep led church in Temple street Sometimes, his eccentricity in the pulpit seem ed almost to trench on the sacred duties of his calling. Yet, when investigated, and his real meaning understood,the seeming impiety would be found to assume the aspect of a misappre hension, on the part of the hearer, of the thoughts and intents of the preacher. One striking case in point occurs to our recollection. .Two notes, requesting an interest of two fam ilies in the prayers of the congregation, were offered on the same Sunday morning, and were read as usual, before the prayer was commenc ed, by Mr. Milton. One was an offer of thanks to the Throne of Grace, for the rescue from a watery grave of one who had passed the me ridian of life without being of the least service to Society, but rather being even a burthen up on it, in consequence of his vices and bad ex ample. The other was a prayer that the fam ily offering it might derive improvement and blessing from the death of a fine, promising youth, whose life had been full of hope, and whose future career had been looked forward to with pride and confidence, by a wide circle of devoted friends. This death had occurred in consequence of the same casualty as that which gave occasion for the other note. Mr. Milton, in noticing these two incidents in prayer, dwelt at length, and with particularity, upon the darkness and inscrutableness of that providence, which could take so valuable a life out of the world, and leave behind a substitute so miserable. The oddity consisted in the precise language in which the preacher couch ed his remonstrances with the Deity ; and is related to us by an auditor of the prayer, as having sounded very much more like a chiding, than a blessing, of the hand that gives and takes away. Yet this was only manner—and tho’ it exposed him to frequent misapprehen sions, ‘in all this sinned he not with his mouth,’ any more than with his heart Peace to the good old man! “After life’s fitful fever he sleeps well; Malice domestic, nothing Can touch him further,” One oe the Causes. A writer in the New York Evening Post declares that during the last five years twenty millions of dollars have been expended by merchants of that city in the purchase of luxuries, to pamper the appe tite for display of finery of foreign growth or manufacture, which have been a positive inju ry to their health and morals, which are now of no value except as mementos of their folly, or as beacons to point out to others the shoals on which they have stranded. Besides this sum, twenty millions more have been expen ded by the same men among the mechanics and manufactures of New York for ornamen tal work of various kinds, which persons of real wealth alone are justified in buying, and ti»e effect of this unnatural stimulus is already beginning to be seen in a petition presented to the city council by 238 journeyman out of em ployment and destitute of bread. There are also about 10,000 persons in that city deprived of the means of obtaining their daily bread, wives and children of mechanics, recently en gaged in the manufacture of fancy work for these fancied nabobs. The men were enticed by high wages, bestowed by that false liberal ity which generally accompanies wealth ob tained without labor, to jngage in this busi ness, which now falls ground with its frail supporters, and their occupation is gone. There are also instances of mechanics having on hand large quantities of goods, made by order of some of the fancied nabobs'in an ex clusive style, which are now lejt unsaleable on their hand. Others, and those not a few, have paid the mechanics for the furniture of their splendid houses in notes which are now little better than so much waste paper—and the unprecedented number of auction sales of furniture, in the catalogues of jsome of which is shamelessly protruded the extravagant cost£ discourages many manufacturers of less cost ly goods, and they are consequently dischar ging their journeymen. This is only the ef fect on one branch Os industry. It would be no difficult matter for any one who would in vestigate other branches of industry affected by the present pressure, to trace most of the evils that hang over them to the extravagance of men living beyond their means. This is a dreadful picture of the efforts of the extrav agance of one portion of a community opera ting upon the other and more numerous por tions. We have heard of one of these soap bubble nobles in New York who paid $20,000 for the furniture and decorations of one room, one whole side of which was a continuous looking-glass, the plates of which were im ported from France at a cost, .which would startle some of the minor princes of Europe. These $20,000 were the cost of fitting up one room only. The rest of his house was fur nished in a corresponding style of splendor and magnificence. When this same bankrupt aristocrat gave dinners on great occasion, when he wanted to exhibit his finery to some gretit man from Europe—or rather rich man—for rich and great are synonymous terms in the vocabulary of these learned and well-bred parvenus—or when he expected to astonish his own less ostentatious countrymen and to excite their admiration and envy, his dinner table was covered with gold plalf, which had been procured at Paris or London at an ex pense which would make the first nobleman of England pause. From Florida. We learn from a passen ger arrived yesterday in the Steamboat San tee, Capt Poinsett, from Black Creek, that a skinnish took place, about ten days since, on the West side of the Suwannee, between a company of mounted Floridians, under the command of Col. Mills, and about 25 Indi ans, supposed to be Creeks. The bodies of two of the latter killed were found and marks of blood were discovered of others wounded, or killed, that were taken away by the Indians. Two ponies wfcre also taken. One of the whites is said to have been wounded. Our informant derived his information from Col. Warrem, at Jacksonville, who had just received a letter from Col. Mills, giving the above information, as the Santee was about leaving the wharf, and may be relied on as cor rect. We have obtained no other information by this arrival. [Savannah Republican. [From the Albahy Evening Journal Extra.] J uly 7th, half past 4 P. M. Disastrous Boat Wreck! The.passen gers of the Rail Road from Utica this after noon, bring information that the steamboat Monroe, which left Buffalo on the 19th ultimo, was lost on the Upper Lakes. The Monroe had between ,‘SOO and 400 passengers, but few of whom, survived. [From the New York Journal of Commerce.] Reported great loss of lives on the Lakf.s. Gentlemen who arrived this morning direct from the West, state that a report had been received at Utica by letter, from a gen tleman in Michigan to his father, that the steamer Monroe, which left Buffalo on the 19th of June, for Chicago, with five hundred passengers, had gone upon a rock somewhere in the Upper Lakes, and all on board had per ished. The report was brought by Indians from the immediate scene of the disaster, and there is reason to hope that it may prove false, yet great anxiety will be felt until the truth is certainly known. The letter says “the Indians have come in and stated this.” The Monroe is a beautiful boat of five hundred tons burthen. Suspected Piracy. —A clinker built boat, apparently English, with three men on board, with several trunks on board, and plenty of sovereigns, left Barnegat, L. I. a few days since. They reported that they were from Sa vannah, and wanted to buy a sloop. It was suspected that they had robbed some English vessel, and perhaps murdered the crew. Mediterranean Squadron. The frigate Constitution and schooner Shark sailed from Port Mahon, April 23, for Marseilles, to take on board Gov. Cass, and taproceed thence to Egypt and Syria. The frigate U. States arriv ed at Malaga from Mahon May 8, and sailed from Gibraltar on the 9th. She was at Gib raltar on the 15th, officers and crew all well. Rev. James Everett of this city, Chaplain of the Constitution, died at Mahon April 11. [Boston Adv. Post Offices in Georgia.

Women and men of retiring timidity are cowards only in dangers which affect themselves, but the first to rescue when others are endangered, BRUNSWICK ADVOCATE* Farms of England. —The farms ire regularly laid out in squares and paral lelograms of from two to forty acres, and in general they are laid down as smooth and lev* as the roller can make them. Here is % luxuriant wheat field, and there a fine meadow, and next a rich pasture, and there busy preparations for putting in potatoes or turnips ; and there barley or oats just shooting up from the dark and rich soil. But scarcely a rod of fence, such as we .meet every where in the Uni ted States of America, do you see in your 200 miles ride from Liverpool to the metropolis. All is hawthorn ; and these hedges, which are for the most part neat ly trimmed about the gardens and farm houses, and by the road side, add more to the beauty of the country than any de scription can picture upon the mind. The common method of making the hedges is this : First, a ridge is thrown up, perhaps a foot from the level of the field which is to be fenced off. the the young thorn is to be planted in two paralel rows, about a foot or eighteen inches apart. —The growth is now very rapid ; but when it lias attained the height of four or five feet in about as many years, it becomes so dense no domestic animal would think of breaking through it. The .-leaf is small, deeply verdant, and beautifully serrated. In the month of May these hedges are clothed with a white fragrant blossom, very much resembling that of the thorns of our own country, and it that the honeysuckle and other vrir flowers unfold their wild hues and mingle their sweetness with the hawthorn.—ln tae hedges, trees, such as the oak, the elm, and the horse c'nesnut, are planted, some times in rows near together, but often fir apart, so that each one rises and waves by itself over the humble but not less char ming growth below. Single trees of great age, and very large, are sprinkled here and there in every direction, and every now and then you catch a glimpse in the distance of a grove or circular clump which adds not a little to the beauty of the landscape.—[Humphrey’s Tour. An Ossified Man. In the museum at Dublin there is a skeleton of one Clerk, a nature of the city of Cork, whom they call the Ossified Man, one of the greatest curiosities of nature. It is the carcass of a man entirely ossified in his life time, living in that condition several years. Those that knew him before this surpri sing alteration affirm he had been a young man of great strength and agility. He felt the first symptom of this surprising change sometime after he had lain all night in the fields, after a debauch, till by degrees every part grew into a bony substance, excepting his skin, eyes and intestines. His joints settled in such a manner that no ligament had its proper operation ; he could not lie down nor rise up without assistance. He had at last no j bend in his body ; yet when he was pla ced upright, like a statue of stone, lie could stand but could not move in the least. Ilis teeth were joined and formed into one entire bone, therefore a hole was broken through them to convey liquid sub stance for his nourishment. The tongue lost its use, and his sight left him some time before he expired. An interesting anecdote of Lord Ken yon’s sensibility was related in the British House of Commons, by Mr. Morris, in the debates of 1811. Os the that gentleman had been an eye-witness. On the home circuit, lie said, some years since, a young woman was tried for hav ing stolen to the amount of forty shillings in a dwelling house. It was her first of fence, and was attended with many cir cumstances of extenuation. The prose cutor appeared, as he stated, from a sense of duty; the witnesses very reluctantly gave their evidence and the jury still more re luctantly their verdict of guilty. The judge passed sentence of death. She in stantly fell lifeless at the bar ! Lord Ken yon, whose sensibility was not impaired by the sad duties of his office, cried out, in great agitation, from the bench—“l don’t mean to hang you ! Will nobody tell her I don’t mean to hang her ?” I then felt, he justly added, as I now feel, that this was passing sentence, not on the prisoner, hut on the law.—[Law Maga zine. The Emperor a Smuggler. When Mr. Fox came to Paris, at the period of the grand exhibition of the products of French industry,which took place in 1802, on the esplanade of the invalides, what most surprised him was the low price of certain objects of cutlery. He purchased twelve dozen of razors of the manufac ture of Theirs, near Clermont, at one franc a piece. The emperor valued as highly the ex cellent quality oFthe English razors as Fox did the cheapness of the French. He who had pronounced suchsevere pen alties against smuggling ; he who had un dertaken to shut up the continent against English commerce, who every year cau sed to be burnt at immense cost, all the | products of English manufacture, taken at sea or seized by the officers of the cus-, toms, undertook himself to smuggle, for the purpose of procuring some English razors and English soap. 1 have seen razors bought for the em peror at Burmingham, at two guineas a piece ; at least they were charged to„him at that price. .AVe have in France at the present day handsomer ones, and at least, as good, for six francs. Os six dozen! purchased for the emperor J»e recei ved four dozen ; the rest a mong the persons charged with the opera tion. Life in tub Countjry. This is a dull, cold, gloomy vale, this world of ours ; at leasts*So say a majority of the people who live in it. And our fellow travel ers on the high road of life are a set of mfean, selfish beings, barren of sympathy, whose hearts and friendships arc as changeful ns. the inoon, and whose only afin is to find wherewith to fill their pock ets, &,c. This picture of the world, may in some points be true. But, thank hea ven, this ‘vale of tears,’ has some bright spots in it ; and now and then we do fall in with a person, whose heart is fraught ■ with sympathy and free from selfishness, j The village of******, is one of the ! bright spots alluded to ; and here Henry Stevens, an old and fast friend of mine resides : he is all that one can wish in a friend. I say this impartially. True lie is an enthusiast in some things, and 1 like him the better for it. For your plodding matter-of-fact, go-just-so sort of people are no favorites of mine. Stevens i! a lover of nature. He has an eye for its beauty and sublimity, an ear for its mu sic, and a mind for its philosophy. Ilis eye will find beauty, where, perhaps, an other’s would in vacancy ; and his ear will hear music in the rustle of leaves, in the low creeping of the underwind a mongst the fresh grass, and in the mon otonous wash of the blue waves over the j shore pebbles, which, perhaps, ‘would strike unheeded on another’s ear ; and a verdant leaf, or a blade of grass teaches his heart the goodness and perfection of God’s work. Algiers under the French. We found ourjelves after we passed the gate, in the broadest street of the town ; the houses right and left were in ruins, the I rench had thrown them down to increase the width of the street ; everywhere the stones and rubbish lay about, the trans port ol which caused unceasing tumult. The porters, five or six for one object mostly ran along ; and those who did not look before them, ran an imminent risk of being knocked down, particularly by the long beams which some of them car ried on their heads. Costumes of every kind surrounded us—black Kabylesfrom Mount Atlas, in white cloaks ; Moors in splendid many-colored dresses ; Negroes in harlequin jackets, embroidered all over with bright variegated flowers and stars : elegant French officers ; Suaves and Sap his in Oriental French uniform ; Parisan waiting maids and Moorish matrons, the latter covered with linen in such a way that only their eyes are visible, and look ing exactly like corpses rissn from the bed of death to gaze upon the living. Jewesses, their feet naked, only wear ing sandals, but in recompense glitteiing all over in gold, and having on their tuy ans three feet long, made of fillagree ; all these different costumes swarmed in the streets, intermingling with a strange medley of animals.—[Scinilassa in Afri ca by Prince Pucklar Muskau. Great and deep Preachers. An hon est countryman once told me (says the ltev. J. Edmondson) that he had heard the Rev. Mr. , in the city of London. llovv did you like him ?” “Oh, Sir, he is the greatest man I ever heard ; for I could not understand one half of what lie said.” Did you hear Dr. f “Yes Sir.”— How did you like him ? “Not at all; for any body may understand what he says.” A gentleman being visited by a friend highly praised his preacher, and recom mended his friend to accompany him and hear hint. At the close of the service, Hie gentleman asked him how he liked him, saying, “Is he not a deep preacher.” His friend replied, “I remember on one oc casion, by the banks of the river, where I saw some little boys bathing. Some trees growing on the opposite bank made the river appear dark and dismal. One of the boys however, venturing over, called his companions to join him, on which one of them replied, “I dare not, it’s deep.”— “No, replied the other, “it’s not deep only dark.'* The gentleman’s friend left him to make the application. Retort Affectionate.— ‘What ever made you marry that dowdy,’ said a moth er to her son: ‘Because you always told ine to pick a wife like my mother,’ was the dutiful reply.

We timed it, and find that with new moulds and inexperienced it made at 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 tun out twenty -three thousand six hundred per It requires six boys to bear off, and four to apM the moulds, &c.—together with four grown men. Thus fourteen hands are sufficient Jto make the above named quantity of tlie moot beautiful brick per day. JOHN SHUHQ-SR, . * DAVID |WVILS%. T Macon, April 14, 1837.
