It is not often that our attention is invited to any theory connected with money that is interesting, or profitable. To be. able to write well on such a subject, when we have now so few goyd writers of any kind, is rather a singul '.r and reputable occupation. The author of the. following piece, to my liumhle conception, writes no " bl v j and I have not a doubt, if he had money he would act so. From the Nine- Hampshire G.uette. IF I HAD MONEY, „ v 1 woald nay off all my bills. 1 would not let the industrious man tulfer. I would not be annoyed my self by having a bill thrust into my face every other hour nor would 1 annoy the diffident feelings of a Worthy man, by compelling him to importune mo for money he wanted, and which he ought lo have. If Inad M oney, I would relieve t'lie wants of the poor in my own neighborhood. I would endeavor to reconcile the unfortunate to (he lot t- of the sick atjd aged. The depres sed, the dejected, the miserable, should Hud a friend, and if ,1 could not prevent their misfortunes or alle viate their distresses, I would at least encourage them to the practice of virtue, by such assistance as I could rentier them, were it nothing more than good advice and kind treatment. If Ilt d money, I would deliver the orphan, the widow, and (he op pressed li’utn the fangs of tho cruel, the mercenary and unprincipled. 1 would hear the story ol their wrongs and they should find redress. If I had money, I would not spend it in vain ostentation. I would not spend it at (heatr.es, or horse races; taverns or billiard tables, trainings or routs; but after paying my just debts,! would'devote what I drought I Ought to afford’ to the real practi cal purposes of charity and mercy; to the afflicted; to the smitten; to the p>*or in heart; to the good and the j unfortunate of the ; human lamiiv; apart from all motives of interest,ali pride, of display and bigotry of opin ion If 1 had money, I would not spend '.ti,t dissipation, making myself the ‘eject for SOOttN, to point*its “ ua moving finger” at.

I would en deavor to promote his prosperity in the world, and if his good conduct entitled him to a reward, I would reward him; but I would not call him by own name out ot charity, because I should fear that lie would laugh at me when he should come to years ol discretion, and ascribe my charity to ostentation. if 1 had Money, I would loan some to tout*.; and industiious mechanics and others who were rooom mended by honesty and good conduct, If I had Money, and were an ohi bachelor, I would inn Ice the most ol life I could, and be M.-vIIRiKD: en joying in their season the gilts ol providence, and the blessings ol do mestic felicity, and not eke out a solitary and miserable existence like a superannuated popish liiar.

Frnu the .American Sentinel. HIGHLY INTRIIESTIN& FACT. Messrs Frick id Co. In my late researches for informa tion, I have not met with any article which lias so deeply interested my mind, as the following account of the behaviour of a person born blind, up on receiving his sight at twenty years of age,by the operation fan Ocrulist, I think you cannot afford a greater gratification or treat, to your nume rous readers, than by giving it a place in your useful Sentinel. Your’s respectfully, LECTOR. The operator, Dr Grant, having observed the eyes of his patient, and convinced his relatives and friends, that it was highly probable he could remove the obstacle which prevented his sight; all his acquaintance, who had any curiosity tube present, when one of full age and understanding waste receive a new sense, assem Died themselves on this occasion, hut were desired to observe profound si lence in case sight was restored, in order to let the patient make his own observations, without the ad vantage of discovering his friends by their voices. Among many others, (he mother, brethren ami sisters, and a young lady, for whom he had formed a particular attachment, were present. The operation was performed with great skill, so that sight was instantly produced. When the patient, first received the dawn of light there appeared such an exstacy in his action, that he seemed ready to swoon away in the surprise of joy and wonder. The surgeon stood before him with his instruments in his hands The pa tient observed him from head to font, and then surveyed himself as care fully, and compiling the doctor to himself, he observed, both their hand.- were exactly alike, except the iustru inents, which he took for part of the doctor’s hands. W hen he had con tinued in this amazement for seve ral minutes, his mother could no lon ger bear the agitation of so many pas sions as thronged upon her, but fell upon his neck, crying out, “ my son, my sou!” The young gentleman knew her voice, and could sav no more than, “Oh me, are you my dear mother?’, and fainted ! On his recovery, he heard the voice of his dear tamale friend, whir!) had a sur prising effect upon him. Having called her to him, he appeared to view her with admiration and delight; nid then asked her what had been done to him ? \V hither said he am I carried P Is all (his about me, the dungs which I have heard so often of.

When they saw his difficulty, they told him, that till he became better acquainted j with his new being, he servant still lead-him. ing presented to Him, he V '-M what sort of a creafure to he before he had seen swered, “ he believed ' I irge as himself, bat that he was the < same sort of a creature.” i The rumor of this sudden change ] made all the neighbors throng to see < him. As he saw the crowd gathering, ( he asked his physician “ how many there were in all to be seen ?” His 1 physician replied, that it would be i very proper for him to return to his late condition, and sufier his eyes to be covered fora few days, uutil they should receive strength, for he might well remember that by degrees he had, by little and little, come to the strength he had at present, in his a bility of walking, and moving and that it was the same thing with his eyes, which, he said, would loose the power of continuing to him that won derful transport he was now in, ex cept he would be contented to lay ‘aside the use oftlicm, till he became strong enough to bear the light with out so much feeling as he underwent at present. With much reluctance lie was prevailed upon to have his eyes covered, in which condition they kept him in a dark room, till it was proper to let the organ receive its objects without further precau tion. Alter several days, it was thought proper to unbind his head, and the young lady he was attached to, was instructed to perform this kind oflice, in order to endear her still more to him, by so interesting a circumstance ; and that he might moderate his 'exstacies by the per suasion of a voice, which had so much power over him as her,s ever had. When she began to take the bandage from ItiS eyes, she addressed him as follows; “William, I am now talcing the binding off, in order to give you sight, but when I consider what I am do ing. I tremble with the apprehension, that though I have from my child hood loved you, dark as you were, and thought you had conceived a strong attachment for me, yet you will find there is such a thing as beau ty, which may ensnare you into a thousand passions of which you are now innocent, and take you from >ne forever But before I put myself to that hazard, tell mein what manner that love you always professed to me, entered into your heart, for its usual admission is at the eyes. The young gentleman answered, “ dear Lydia, if, by seeing, I am to 1 loose the soft pantings which 1 have ■ always felt when I heard your voice; ’ if lam no more to distinguish the • step of her 1 love, when she approach ' es me, bat to change that sweet and frequent pleasure for such an amaze ment as I experienced the little time I lately saw; or if I am to have r anything besides, which may take I from me the sense I have of what ap peared hurst pleasing to me at that j time, (which apparation it seems was | you) pull out these eyes before they , lead me to be ungrateful to you, or undo myself. I wish for them but to see you, pluck them from their sockets, it they are to make me for get you.” Lydia was extremely satisfied and delighted with these assurances, and , pleased herself with playing with hi> , perplexities for a few moments, when she withdrew the bandage, and gave him sight, to his inexpressible joy and satisfaction. In.all his- conversation with her he manifested but very faint ideas of airy thing which had not been re ceived at the ears. 1 • ■■■ , ... ■ — - LrJefvhm England. Charleston, December 19. By the fine fast sailing ship South*- Boston, Campbell, in 43 days from /Liverpool, we this morning received papers to the Sd ult, inclusive. The trial of the queen had not yet terminated—The Bill of Pains and Penalties was pressed to a second reading in the House of Lords. The lebate had lasted two days, in the course of which the Lord Chancellor avowed his conviction of her guilt, even though the whole of the evidence given by Italian witnesses, should be overlooked. He was followed by Lord Erskinc, who spoke for some time against the Bill, and in defence of the Queen’s innocence; but Was at length so much overcome from indis position that he could not proceed— and when contrasting the evidence of Majochi with that given by Dr. Holland, his Lordship suddenly stop ped, and soon after fell forward up on the table in a senseless state The anxiety of the whole house was instantly aroused, the windows were thrown open, the Lord Chancellor, Earl of Liverpool, and Karl Grey and Carnarvon, with Lord Holland, and Mr, Barron Carrow, hastened to his assistance; and succeeded in raising him up, but his speech and color were gone They then became se riously alarmed, and immediately proceeded to convey aim out of tlu house, into an adjoining room, wharf j medical aid was immediately procu- divided id opinion as totne tinST re sultsaflhg triad. The Gentlemen, passengers in the snip, appear to be generally of the opinion that the ' Queen will be acquitted. ( The circumstance of (he Prince of Saxe Coburg, and the Duke of Sus sex, calling upon her Majesty, goes further to induce a belief that she will be acquitted, than any thing \vc have seen since the commencement of the trial.

Tbs Extracts which follow, are from Commercial Houses of the fii>t respectability, to their correspon dents here : LIVERPOOL, Nov 3.—Since the receipt of the letters by’the Amity from New York, with the confirma tory accounts of the abundance ot the new crop of Cotton, there has been evidently an increased disposi tion on the part of the holders, to set'; and although We cannot quote an ac tual reduction, we think that purcha ses might be made upon rather lower terms than our present quotation of Uplands,Band 12d. Good Sea Is land Cotton has been sold at 18id,” « Nov. 3.—Our Cotton market lias been heavy throughout the week, the sales of all sorts amount to 6500 bags, and prices o r Dementia id per lb. lower; whilst other sorts are with out alteration.” Nov. 4. The dcftiaiid for cotton has been inconsiderable this week, in comparison with the two preceding ones, and owing to the increased anx iety on the part of the holders to sell, business has been done m some in stances below our quotations, (Up land, ord. to mid, 9$ to lOd ; fair to good, 10i to Iti] particularly as it respects tniddlit g and low qualities of Uplands, but not to an extent es tablishing a decline ul prices. In Sea Islands the sales for the last six days amount to 150 bags onljr. Or leans have been taken more freely and at full prices. From a statement of the import of cotton in the pre sent year up to the Ist inst. contrast ed with that of the corresponding period of last year, the increase ot 1820 appears to be 90,764 Bags. “ The transactions in Carolina Rice are unimportant. The price of Tar [lßs.] is maintained, owing to its scarcity ; but it is believed that a li initted import would immediately reduce it. The transactions in tur pentine have been considerable at the quotations ford, to mid. 9 and 10s.; two thirds and upwards soft, 10s 3d. and 11s] Bees Wax, 13 1.10 s. per 112 lbs.” Nov 4. Ido not expect to see cottons improve, for the stocks on hand must still be heavy—and with abundant croj>s with you, towards the summer we shall probably see Up lands Id. bower than at present, not withstanding the great consumption. Rice I think may experience a good sale, as there is little here to inter fere with the new supplies,” “Nov. 5. Wchad expected that when the heavy import ceased, we should have obtained an advance in the price of cotton, but we now be gin to despair of any improvement. If Uplands come down to 12 or 14 cents there will be a chance of doing some good, and Sea Islands at 20 to 26 cents, according to quality. Our stock of the latter is still very large, and we cun aft ord to give up a good deal of the new crop to gales and rains, of which much is said in late letters. Prices may possibly revive a little, should the accounts of the damage be confirmed, but we cannot think that higher than our present rates can be calculated or. under any circumstances. There is very little demand for the article, and no busi ness doing either in fine goods or yarns. Os Uplands, the sales of the last tew days [about 2000 bags;] have been at various prices, from 9d. to mostlv at 10(1. to 10£d.” ■LUm.-! 1 J '■ 11 ■— Georgia, Warren County.

Among the strangers within the bar of the House es Representatives yesterday, was Commodore Hamuli Tucker, from the State of Maine, who was one of the elec tors for that state, and was sent to this City with the votes for President and Vice President, being betweeh 70 ami 80 years of age, and having performed a journey of more than 600 miles in less than five days. This gentleman was in the naval service of the United States during the whole of the Revolutionary War, and ear ned the late President Adams to Europe in the Boston frigata on his first embassy thither. In point of bravery and patri otism, Captain Tucker is,,said to have been second lo none in the nation} for he took from the enemy 62 sail of vessels, having on board upwards of 600 pieces of eanndn and more than 3000 men Mr Hill, of Maine, we are informed was about to submit a resolution to admit him within the House of Representatives, but, upon examination, he found that Congress, after the close of the war, pas sfid an unanimous vote of thanks to Com. Tucker, for the services he had rendered his country, which brought him within the standing rule of the House, so that a special order was unnecessary. Ib. ELECTION OF PRESIDENT. From the Essex Register of December 6. Familiar occurrences lose their novelty, and cease to be viewed with the interest they deserve, and to obtain the attention their importance demands. On this day our cou%rv exhibits a lesson which no other ageor nation has ever witnessed.— Can it be credited, that ten millions of freemen this day, by their electors, assem bled in the electoral colleges of this wide, ly extended nation, choose the two First Magistrates of the land? There is no mus tering of troops, no thunder of artillery, no revelry nor song, no bloodshed or des truction—even our public prints are si lent, and not one person in an hundred knows of the election of the day, The candidates for these offices will probably receive an unanimous vote. Yet they have no army to back their pretensions, no public patronage to purchase votes — for no person holding an office of honor, profit, or trust, can be an elector. Our country too has been engaged, deeply en gaged, in party brawls, and the candidates for office are nut men who have purchas ed popularity by that neutral station be tween parties which conciliates the good will of all. Not such are the candidates} they are men who have entered the breach, who have stormed the fortress, and who have stood fearless and unyield ing amidst the tempests As party and the storms of war. In other nations and ages the choice of tho ruler has been the epoch of war, bloodshed and confusion. It has been celebrated with pomp and splendor, and the mere coronation of a monarch costs more than the annual expenses of our nation. Yet our •political blessings, like health. Heaven’s best gift to man, hardly claim our attention. As \vc must experience sickness to know the value of health, so ive must transfer our views to other nations to learn the true value of our political institutions. Let us then look back to tiie country whose institutions re semble most nearly our own—to our pa rent nation, the land that contains the tombs of our ancestors*—to that nation, of which, but half a century since, we formed a component part, and of which we should have continued to this time a member, but for our glorious revolution. How strong the contrast! Thank God for that revolu tion that separates us from all share and lot in this scene of confusion and pollution! Thanks to those heroes and sages whose wisdom and valor have secured, on the rock of ages, the foundation of ouv liber ties! Long may their memories live in the recollection of future ages, and prove the, falsity of the declaration “ that Repub lics have no gratitude ”/ We have no less thanks to give for the excellence of our institutions, than for our fortunate selection of those who were to regulate the machinery of the nation. The father of his country and the leader of its victorious armies, Wasiiixotow, at the two first elections, received the undivided suf frages of this happy people. At (he third election Adams was chosen, the eloquent and powerfttl advocate of the rights of man,' and the fearless, independent amt successftil minister of his country in fo reign courts, during the revolutionary war. The fourth and fifth election placed at the helm of state Jkffkksoic, from whose eloquent pen proceeded the Declaration of our Independence. The sixtn and se venth election gave the chair of state to Maimsox, to whom we are principally in debted for our National Constitution. The eighth and last election was in favor of him who will again this day receive an un divided vote, MojrnoE, the young soldier in the War of the Revolution, and heroic Secretary in the late war, who, in qujt- ennspicuou^ni whose scenes we.e falling; htit whose last •n an 'elevated »Utc and prosperty. ‘ ni * o^i The Ass in ih(ii* r j nt ; Office. from the Mimfrifrl I fern’.
