FHOM Tin* NEW ENGLAND MAO A W*F« Ff.bl.lHl AND SENTIMENT. TJiei'e are two men of my aequain tanei, nfneariy the same age, properly, uud standing in society, one of whom is a man of Feeling, and llte other.', man ol Sentiment. Sentiment is rather a more gifted iiiun than Feeling, writes ami talks well, and on no subject does he write or speak r.o ollen and so well, us cn the du ly of doing good to each other. Feeling never wrote a paragraph in the tiewspa pers, nor spoke where ten people could hear him; hut there is not a cellar or e garret in Broad-street, that hi; lias not been into, ami there arc hundreds of peo ple that pray for him e\ery day of their lives. .Sentiment is the admi atioii of ids acquaintances; Feeling, the delight of his friends. No heller illustration can be given of the difference between them, limn was shown in their conduct ou one imri icnlar occasion. A mutual friend m theirs line! died suddenly, under circum stances of peculiar ttflticion, and ieavi a large I'nmly nearly de-diinte.

A case was called in our Superior Court, on Monday last, when, one of the counsel being ab sent (pone, as was supposed, to offer bis devo tions at the shrine of Hymen,) another of the counsel mentioned bis absence, and snggested that the case sliou'd therefore be laid over. Tbo Judge (who understood it to have been said, that the absence was caused by indisposition,) replied, that inasmuch as Col. was indis [Kised, the case might bo passed: coun sellor observed, that lie could not say that Col. was absent from indisposition, unless a tendency to matrimony might be considered as a disease. “Ob certainly not (said the Judge, veiy promptly,) and one might rather expect that such a tendency would incline him to Court." COTTON MARKETS. By the arrival of the Ur. barque'George Wil kinson, at Charleston, we have ad vices bum Eu rope to the 3d ult. The Live,pool Cotton maiket remained in the same dull slate, as noticed in our f .finer report, and as tbo advices received there,at that period, t orn this country, represented the growth of Colton in tbo United Slates, in 1831, to have been at least 1,100,000 bales, with an excess oC tbu old c.op, in ibis conntry, compare with the Slock of the previous year, on the Ist of Get. of about 100,00(1 bales, there was little, if any prospect, of an immediate improvement in pri ces. Holders of Cotton manifested a disposition to press sales, and lbe consequence was, that in some instances, a reduction of an £d was sub milted to. The sales of the week weio 14,360 bales—lmports 9,640. Tbu im, oiisof Cotton into Liverpool, f.om the Ist Jan., 1831, lo Ist Dec., were 750,000 bales, against 730,000 during the same ~e.iod the pre vious season. Os American Colton, there ap-' pears lo have been no difference in the imports during the first eleven months of each year, be ing 037,000 bales. It is probable that the im ports of Cotton into Liverpool, during the month ol Doc. 1831, were considerably less than dur ing the corresponding month of tbo previous year. The Cholera was extending in England; 14 new casus were reported in Sunderland, and 3 in NcwCastle, on the 28ihNov. The advices from Havre, of 2.1 ult. represent Cotton us being rather ou the decline. —We give the following extract of a letter, dated Dec. Ist: “Our p. esent Slock is reduced to 14,000 bales, but prices have declined, during the last two days, I to Ij centimes, on United Stales 'short slu lo.” Advices from New York continue unfivu.ta ble for shi; ments of Cotton to that market, tbo l the slock is re. resented as being light, ami but few choice parcels fur sale. Quotations of the new crop, 8a 10 els., dull. Sftice the receipt of the lalo advices from Eu lope.lbo Charleston end Savannah Cotton mar kels have been dull, but without producing tiny essu» ; ial change in prices. Tne quotations are 8,; a in both markets. Shipping has become more plenty, and it is probable'Fi eights will de cline a little. Tins may produce activity in those markets, in a few days. Our advices from Mobile are to the 22d inst. The receipts of Cotton into that market, since the Ist Oct., bad been 35,305 bales.

RICHMOND SUPERIOR COURT. Our Supremo Court is still sitting, this being the fourth week of the present session, which closes, wo believe, to-day. By an excellent ar rangement of the Judge, in occupying the whole ol last week with Special Jury business, and keeping the Potit Jury till this week, the ses sion bas thus been extended one week longer than usual; and by ibis moan, with great indus try and perseverance, ami keeping the Court open each day, from 10 A. M. till 5 P. M. with out adjourning for dinner, and longer occasion ally, as the cases unfinished at the latter hour required it, bis Honor bas succeeded in calling, and trying, crery case on the Dockets, not dis missed or laid over by the parties, according to tbo proper forms oflavv—thus giving every suit or, under duo regard to the rights of the oppo site party, an opportunity of tryiug his cause &■ of obtaining justice —a result wbichjluts never before occurred within our memory, or proba bly that of any member of our. Bar. And in attaining this end, wo undeistand be lias sat, iu one instance, nearly thirteen hours together, without the lea t sustenance.—lt is well known that we have never entertained partiality for Judge Holt either cs a politician or 8 Judge— 1 'hough we have always highly respected him as a gentleman) in private life -and we still honest ly retain the same ('reference for his predocos sor.and lute opponent, openly expressed both be fore and at the election—but this shall never in duce us to vvilhliold'from him, that justice which is due to him and every one else, despite of all our own and other's individual preferences or opinions. And, when we relied u on the se quent distressing consequences of delays of jus tice— amounting, often, to an entire prevention, if not refilsal, of it—and the great individual in conveniences, lu-ises, and piivation-q additional legal, and other ex eases, &.c. &c. neccssaiily arising from the attendance of suitors and wit nes-es, session after session, for yeats, without eflecl—and upon the consequent salutary nature and results ot the example set by tbo Judge an example which cannot well be disregarded or unimitated hereafter, either by himself or any one else we cannot ref.ain from awarding to it the highest praise, as a solid and substantial benefit to the community.—This is but justice— that justice which we desire to extend lo every man—and whatever may ho our individual or jiaily pieferences or opinions, wo trust they will never render us insensible lo the errors of our friends, or tho merits of our opponents, or disin clined impartially lo censure the one or applaud tho other. And if they ever should, we shall be at once unworthy of our profession and the con fidence of the | üblie, the honest mui intelligent poition of which, we arc sensible, care nothing, and should not, for the opinions wo express, far ther than for the intrinsic matter of the opinions themselves, without reference to the pc.son who expresses them.

The mail closes directly,and I have not time to give particulu: s.” Since writing the above, a gcnticiHxn of this city handed us the following extract of a letter on this subject,received from a friend in Columbus. “Onyesterday,(23d inst.)

Woolfolk walked seven steps towards tbo crowd of spectators,& said ‘he has killed me.” The blood gushed out of bis mouth; bo viewed it attentively —laid him self upon the ground, and expired immediately, without having again spoken.” A RUM CANDIDATE. \V ti find Hie following precious announcement in the “ Isifayelle Frcc-Prcss,” published in La fayette, Indiana; from wh eh one might suppose, that the “Independent rulers ” oflmliana,judge of the merits mid qualifications of iheir candidates by lire quantity of HUM they “roll out”—believ ing, doubtless, that Athas lire most sense him self, who has tho strongest disposition lo nj,.k« fools and brutes ofolbcrs, and the most menus of effecting it—or else, that the editor, who is an 1 Anti-Jackson man, published it, very significant- I ly and properly, as the best mode of disgracing ! the “Jackson candidate,” and defeating his election. Surely (hopeople of Indiana so besotted, so lost to decency and self-respect, as lo give their suffrages only to men who thus openly minister to then disgrace and then own— ap| euling to their beastly propensities, lather than to their virtue and intelligence, as men, and freemen. “Mr. Sfma.ns—You are authorized te an nounce RtuifF.N Putnam as the JACKSON can didate lor comity Recorder: And moreover, I bat, 1 will roll out a Barrel of RUM on tbu dav of election. Respectfully, REUBEN PUI if vM. Lafayette, Dec. 23, 1831.” W i would recommend to the consideration of • Ibo editor of the Lafayette Free I*, ess, the “Jackson candidate,” and the people of Indiana, the following proceedings of the Quarterly Conference for Spaita Ci-cuil, held at Green’s Veeting House, on the 17th till, which we copy from the Hancock Advertiser: “Whereas, the practice of (Ja did,ales for ' la ces in the gift of tiio prople, tie. ...g to nroinrito their election, is an evil (w« believe of no or dinaiy magnitude, producing n denior .-izing ef fect on society generally, and rendo.ng the candidates themselves unworllir lo be li: i rep resentatives of a civilized, much more of a Christian people; a practice illegal in itself, and altogether contrary lo the princij les of Christi anity, and the Republican institutions of onr country: and, whereas, it is believed that this alarming evil cat; only be cheeked by tbo united efforts of the temperate and patiiotic generally, and of tbs followers of our Lord Jesus Christ particularly ; therefore, “Resulted, That lintoafior we will cot support any man, for any post or placn, at an election, who shall be guilty of the practice of treating, nr using any other unlawful means to pioinoic his election. “ Resulted, That the Rev. James L. Daniel, the Rev.

Tim horse is expected hero by the first of March. Editors of papers throughout this State will likely serve a good object, by copying this notice. Washington Macs. FROM THK CHIRLESTON MKBCUftr. The annual celebration of the Columbia Ty pographical Society look place recently at Wash ington. Several members of Congress, editors of (tapers, See. attended by invitation. We have been struck with the following part of Mr. Ver pbmek’s speech, in which nn entertaining refer ence is made to Dr. Franklin’s Chapel, | robahly new to many of onr readeis, anti an incident re lated of a compositor, not more honorable lo tho individual alluded to, than interesting in itself, and calculated to excite Ihe industry and awaken llte ambition of the craft: “Amongst the earliest recollections of my boyish days, lie said, were tho amusing and in structive incidents of the early life of Benjamin 1 franklin, as related by himself; and one of the laanb i circumstances which most struck and excited my boyish imagimition in that beautiful narra'- live, was that of hi* calling the office in which lie wo:ked in London, a Chapel, acoo-ding to tlie traditionary please of English printers. p j s u term that h,is gone much mil of use. I have since learnt, on this side of the Atlantic. In this Chapel, however, about which, our great philo. sopher and patriot printer fust excited rny <u. riosity, it has been the (in tunc, 1 think the good fortune, of my life, to have since passed many ho.ns. These were hou s which 1 sometimes used to Balter myself might he useful to others they wore certainly always agreeable and inter esting Ur myself. I was there very early and very f c prently struck wiih the general liiiclli. gence and info motion of the craft; and 1 was often delighted with the native talent, the lito raiy nc.prircineni, the liberal principles, and the ardent minds of many of them with whom I there became uc juainte'd. 1 there made many ac piaintanecs amongst your fiaternity, v.hom I shall always r ememher with resjiect and kind ness, and not u few friends whom I hortor (l iid esteem. I h ive received amongst thorn the best offices, as a friend—(nor can 1 forget it,) aid suggestions, co reelions, us an author.
