A London oorreapondenl of the New Yttrk Cou rier ond Enquirer write* at follows:— “1 promised in my laat, to offer a few remarks respecting the effects of the Savings Bank upon the publio funds. The amount of tho notional debt of this country i* upwards of £900,000,000. It is not generally known that this immense amount stands in the names ofonly 280.000 pertona. The population of Great Britian may be estimated, in round numbers, at 25.000.000; so that her debt is £32 for every inhabitant! These 25,000,000 are tuxed to poy the interest due on this immense amount to this very small number of fundholders ; and the Government of this country long since dis. covered that, if internal disturbances should sug gest tho question of payment or nonpayment, iu physical strength at least the fundholder would have little chance against the array of people who have no fellmvfeoling with him. Accordingly, in 1810, when die national debt was rapidly uccumulnling, we find that savings hanks and societies of similar nature. I cgnn lo receive the Governme' l sanction. From that time to the present those hanks have multiplied and increased, and there now stands in the numes of the commissioners of those instuu. lions nearly £25.000,000 of the public debt, be. longing to 800,000 individual depositors and 18,. 000 charitable institutions and friendly societies — Supposing each society to number 150 members, ihete would be a grand total of one million of peo ple of the poorer classes who are interested in up- hulding the national debt, and this number is hourly increasing. “The secret of the matter rests in the fact that tiie Government nllows one per cent, per annum about fifteen years.

Camphor Spirits.—There is both convenience amlecnnomy iu preparing liquid camphor yourself; and no house should be without it. Buy two ounces of gum camphor, und a pint and a half of spirits of wine (uleoliol). Break up the camphor, pick it dun, and put it into a large glass bottle or jur— oiiti with a glass snipper will he best—pour on the aieotiul, and cork it closely, tying a piece of kid leather over the top. Next day you will find the camphor entirely dissolved. For present conve nience, transfer u portion of it to small bottles or phials, ft buying phials, it is best always to get llie abort wide ones that will stand steudily by them sehes. To take camphor us a remedy for faint lieu,pour u lew drops into a half u winegluss ol water; stir it n little, and drink it. Camphor is excellent lo sprinkle ultoul a sick-room. It is well to keep jim second large bottle a somewhat differ •ill preparation lube used in bathing the forehead lur nervous headache, or as an embrocation for rheuintitic pains. For these purposes, instead ol dissolving me camphor in alcohol only, pour on it spirits of wine und whiskey mixed in equal propor liuiu. 1 | IU s diluted, it will cuuse less irritution lo his skin. Cure/or ike Teller.—Obtain at a druggist’s an outlet of sulphurel of polush. Be careful to ask Inrthis article precisely. Put the sulphuret into * ar 8° glass jar, and pour on it a quart of cold soft »»ter, Stup it tightly, und leave it lo dissolve. Illu y be mure convenient ufterwards to transfer randier buttles. Cure musl be luken lo keep closely corked. To use it, pour a liltle into a cup ‘ud dipping in it a soft sponge, bathe tile eruption •hit it five or six limes a duy.

The First Wedding.—MujorNoalt tints pleas antly ami philosophica l!'discourses upon the “first wedding.” He says :— “We like short courtships, and in this, Adam act ed like a sensible man—he fell asleep a bachelor and awoke to find hitnself a married mun. He ap pears to huve popped the quoslion almost immedi ately after meeting Md'l.e Eve, and she, without any flirtation or shyness,gave him a kiss and herself. Of that first kiss in this world we have Imd, how. ever, our own thoughts, and sometimes inn poeti cal mood have wished we were the man ‘what did it ’ But the deed is done—the chance was Adam’s and lie improved it. “We like the notion of getting married in a gar den. It is in good taste. We like a private wed ding. Adam’s was private. No envious beaux 9re there ; no croaking old ntuids ; no chatter ing nunts and grumbling grandmothers. The birds of Heaven wuro the minstrels, and the glad sky filing its lights upon the scene. One tiling about the first wedding brings queer tilings to us, in spite of its Scriptural truth. Adam nnd his w ife were rather young to be married— some two or three days old, according to the sagest peculations cf theologians—mere babies—larger but not older—without experience, without a house, without a pot or kettle, nothing but love nnd Eden.’’ Moorish Estimates of Female Beauty.—Four things iu a woman should ho black, the hair, the eyebrows, their lashes, and the iris of the eyes ; four sliuuld be white, the complexion, the white of the eyes, the teeth und legs; four red, the tongue, the lips, the middle uf the cheeks, and tho gums ; four long, the beck, the fingers, the nrtns, and the legs, fuur round, the head, the neck, the arms, and the ankles ; four wide, the forehead, the eyes, the bosom and llie tiips ; four delicate, tiie nose, the eyebrows, tho lips, and fingers ; four ample, the lower part of llie back, tiie thighs, tiie calves of the legs, and the knees ; four small, llie ears, the breasts, the bunds, and the feet .—Drummond Hay’s Western Barbary. A Market for Wives.—In the district of Bern- in Sootiar, a mountainous country, inhabited entire ly by llie Berber tribes of Morocco, there is one place where, during the fair, a bailer of a very cu rious kind takes place. This fair is held only once er holders of the public funds. That is in say, it pays four per cent, instead of three, thus losing not more than £200,000 per annum, and blinding by strong personal interest one million of people to sustain the public faith. “Without saying any tiling ns to strict prnctica. bilily in detail, it is impossible to avoid inquiring what would have been tiie effect upon our linn-pay- ingStntea of such u system ns this. If poor people, having a few spare dollars, had been induced to put their money io a saving bank, with the knowledge that this money was Tit re ility invented in Stnle stock, can it for a moment he supposed that such depositors would have returned to their respective Legislature men of repudiation principles? No.— They would have been so many preachers of hon esty and punctuality. ‘•In Eiig'and, besides the advantage politically effected by the savings hank measure, n very great mornl good has been achieved. It has been ascr- tained that the man who has once found his way to the savings bank on a Saturday evening, forgets the way tu the ginshop ; and thut.ns tl»u number of depositors in n village increase, so do llie poor and llio poor rates diminish.” Not to be “Done.”—A pleasant correspondent of a Boston paper, writing from New Orleans, gives tiie following incident : You can buy nothing in New Orleans, (which is llie case I believe in most Southern and Western cities.) for less than n ‘‘picayune,” one-sixteenth of a dollar. Coppers are hardly known, nnd dimes and “ninepences” (Boston currency) pass indis- criminntely for “bits,” or one eighth of a dollar.— I was amused at a little incident which I saw on hoard one of the Western boats. A man from the North tried to pass ten coppers upon n “sucker” (a native of Indiana) for a dime. “What ho they V’ inquired the sucker, turning over the coppers in unfeigned ignorance. “1 calculate they’re cents,” replied the Norther ner—“can’t you read ?” "I reckon not,” said the oilier; '‘and what's more, old boss. I ullow I don’t want lo. What is cents, mister 7” “I vow lo judges,” said tiie New Englander, “you are worse Ilian the heathen ! Cents is money, sar- tiu! Ten of thorn air worth one dime. L'o >’t you s o it says there ‘E Plurihus Uuuni’—that’s the Latin for ‘Hail Columbia !’ and here it’s inscribed ‘one Male Coquetry —Male coquetry is much more inexcusable than female, as well as more perni cious. Very few men will give themselves the trouble to gain or retain uny woman’s affection, unless limy have views on them either of an honor able or di(honorable kind. Men employed in the pursuit of business, ambition or pleasure, will not give themselves the trouble to engage woman’s af fections merely from the vanity of conquest, and of triumphing over the heart of an innocent and de fenceless girl. A man uf parts, sentiment and address, if lie lnys aside nil regard lo trutn and humanity, may engage the hearts of fifty women at llie same time, and may, likewise, conduct his coquetry with so much art ns to put it out of toe power of any of them to specify n single expreation that could be said to be directly expressive of love. This ambiguity of belinviuur, Ibis art of keeping one in suspense, is llie great surety of coquetry iu both sexes. It is the more cruel in men because they can carry it to what length they please, and continue it as long as they please, without the wo. man being «o mnrli at liberty lo compluin or expos tulate ; whereas, men can breuk their chains and force women to explain whenever they become im patient of their situation. But as a woman in this country may eusily prevent the first impressions o( love, every motive ol prudence and delicacy should muko her guard her heart against them, till such time as she Iras received the most convincing proofs of the attachment of a man of such merit as will ! justify n reciprocal regard. She should studiously ’labour to possess such high principles of honor and j geiiero-iiy as will render her incapable of deceiving ‘ und ut the same time possess that acute discern. J nienl «Inch may secure Iter against being deceived. ! Treatment of others.—“ In age, in infancy, from ollier’s aid is all our hope.” This is there, mark of a famous writer, and it may be added, “ as we treat otlters, so generally will we be treated in return.” We are upl to love those who ill-treul and ilespitefully use us. For our own sakes then we should exercise courtesy nnd kindness to those u round us, it lid whom we meet with in our duily walks in life, always remembering, if only in a sel fish view, that it may he in the power even of the mouse, ut some lime or oilier, to be of service even 0 the lion. VV’e should, therefore, bold no person in contempt. In our apprehension of character, on, and ul those entitled lo our familiar regard, we should endeavor to study the uclions und the heart rather than ho governed and influenced by the mere surface. All cannot be beautiful, but all can be good, und nil can cultivate those virtues and graces which render life happy. The pleasant smile,im pelled by the known friendly heart, is always wol. tome, no matter ns lo tho peculiar formation of the lips that wear it, or the face that beams with its pleasantness. Uewaru of Honesty.—-A touching little Story. 1 hero is something in female honor, or virtue, in ■i woman, which charms as much us honesty in a man; and both are so i n re, and at the sutne time so inestimable, that this celebrated distich of our mor nl bard will equndy apply to either— “A Wit’s n feather, and a Chiefs a rod, An honest mini’s llie noblest work of God.” Tiie Cardinal Fames, who was very properly utned the Patron of the Poor, gave public audience once u week lo indigent persons in his neighbor hood, und distributed his bounty among them nccor.

A woman of genteel address, hut in a dejected, forlorn condition, prssented her- self one day with her daughter, a beautiful creature thout fifteen years old.belure this liberal ecclesias- [fbomthen. y.sun.] On relation* withChUat When it was first contemplated loopen commer cial relations with China, it was contended that wo enjoyed a very lucrative as well as tranquil inter course with that Country; and it wasquestionoble whether any direct intercourse with that Govern ment would tend to strengthen the amicable feel ings, which at present existed, and be long as wa paid our debts our intercourse would be uninter rupted. The Administration took a different and more national view of the question, and the Presi. dent considered that it was unbecoming the digni ty as well as the interest of this Country, to allow the subject of commercial intercourse between the United Stales and any Nation, lo rest upon a con tingency, or auflbrance. Our flag, which was seen in every sea, should be made lo cover its own sov ereignty, nnd not seek the protection of any other power. It was ulso considered, that the war de clared and waged by Great Britain against China, although succeeded by a treaty of peace and com- tnerciul alliance, lefi a very nntural feeling of ill will and distrust towards the English, which would manifest itself in a more favorable consideration towards the United States; and the election of a sensible and discreet citizen, familiar with com merce, to open friendly relations with the cctcia- tiul Empire, will no doubt be productive of the ve ry best results. We understand that our goodl friends the English, have been at considerable pains to impress upon the Chinese Ministers, that a visit of Mr. Cushing to l’ekin, may be constru ed into unfriendly feeling towards litem, nnd a mark of distinct partiality for the Americans, and they may succeed in preventing the visit of the Minister to the interior; but nt the same lime,can not prevent the adoption of a commercial treaty, negociated with the commissioner Keying. Even at llio time of Lord Macartney’s embassy, there was great difficulty in bis procuring permission to visit Pekin ; sucli is the nature of their non-inter course pulicy. It issupposed that somo of tlio re cent outbrakes in Canton by the rabble, which man ifested itself by an attack on tiie American flag-staff*, were instigated by persons under English influence-, but this at least is poor pulicy, because should any event tend to interrupt llieir commercial intercourse with China, it is the interest of Grent Britain tip sustain friendly relations between the Chinese and this country, and thus keep up their supplies indi rectly. Every thing seems to favor the impression that we are to have a valuable trade with China in Teas, Silks, Drugs, &c., &c-, and no efforts will ho neglected to secure a favorable treaty. With the enterprise which invariably characterises our merchants, we understand that a line ol iron vessels, with propellers, of the size of those now trading between Philadelphia and Ne ,v York, will be estab lished to run between Canton and Suez, at the head of the Red Seu. The fine Teas and Silks brought by those vessels, will be transported over land lo Cairo, nnd down the Niles to Alexandria, where the cargoes will be transhipped to this country, making the voyage ill 60 days from Canton lo tho U. Slates our government having already adopted the necessary measures to procure permission for the over land trade. The canal from Suez to the Nile, may soon be completed, or a rail road across llie Peninsula will greatly facilitate the direct inter- course with China and the East Indies. Our poli cy is distinctly commercial, and wo have the ele ments of rivaling the most successful countrios on earth. England is the only powor which takes the lead of us, and in our rapid strides wo may soon he up to her. ll is a subject on which we must never sleep. (raoa m mmom mm.] The Csttsa Osf ■ A brisf history Wlb* AsMrteu CoUM trad* far ths year furnishes facto which an wall worthy bo- lag mod* matter of saaord. It is tfalad that the spring of 1843 was fat* and ua propitious for plant- iug, but n was not taM August that the subnet of tho crop attracted attention. Tho month of Bop lorn be r waa tba lime wbon prices first advanssd oa lb* opinion that the crop would bo abort, and ths busi ness transacted on thia assumption caused an im provement of three quarter* of a et. per pound. A check, however, waa subsequently given to apoe- ion by the success at tending the gathering, and the little impression produced on our side of tho Atlantic by the movement. Price* having need, ed iu their former level, no material ehango took place till November, when the advioe of heavy and continuous raina io the principal southern States having acted upon the New Orleans and neighbor ing markets, created much speculation, and the resuh was, that quotations rapidly, advanced, ex port* were restricted, and stocks accumulated in the south. It waa now that estimate* of the crop were first ventured an; 1,600,000 bales were said to be about the quantity, while even the meal san guine admitted that 1,850,000 bales waa a fair av* erage, and hence it was calculated, certainly, that the English and other transatlantic markets would be forced up, and a large profit made out of the foreign consumer. From the middle of November to the middle of January the condition of affairs continued, and in New York on the 12th of the latter month the highest point was attained, • Look hear, stranger,” responded tho sucker, putting tho thumb of Ids right bund into bis car, nnd inclining his fingers forward, to indicate that lie considered llie other a jackass ; “you may run that a year, and is chiefly resorted lo for the purpose ol , 8|(w on a ‘hoosier’ or ‘wolverine,’ but I’m dod roll- bachelors finding wives, married men adding to ; g j jf you Yankee me with the conlusive stuff."

We are reluctant to tell a story that may offend the sex, but the following, which we find in the Evening Mirror, is so indelibly impress ed with llie stamp of truth, that wo cannot consent to overlook it. A traveller lately on the North river oveiheard two Indies in an adjoining state-room, who kept in cessantly calling upon that indispensable Figaro, the “steward,” "Steward !” called one in a smoth ered voice, as if of inlenso suffering, “do come and open this window, or I shall die !” The win dow was accordingly opened ; hut directly the oth er lady exclaimed,“Steward ! do come and shut this window, or / shall die !” This, too, wss obeyed, when the first order wns repeated, followed by the other in the same terms ; and this continued until tilings began to grow serious, and tho poor steward commenced turning very red, nnd perspiring with vexation. At this moment a gentleman, who had been u quiet observer of the scene, cried out in a loud voice,“Steward, why don’t you wait upon tho ladies there ? sliui the window till one of them is dead, and then open it and finish the other!’’ Chinese Museum.—We understand that John R. Peters, Jr. has availed himself of the fucilites af. forded by his connection with Mr. Cushing’s ein- bassy, to procure an extensive Chinese Museum— indeed one more varied and complete than the cele brated collection by Mr. Dunn. This splendid represemaiion of the arts and pecularilies of mill ions of the most ancient and curious people on earth is expected lo arrive in New York somo time dur ing llie coming winter. This only extensive Clii- nese Museum in the world, except Dunn’s in Lon- dun. will udd greatly to the attraction of our city. N.Y. Post- fair uplands being quoted at 10$ cents to 10) cents, and fuir Orleans at 11 cent* to 11) coots per pound. The first re-action produced in the American mar ket was by the new* received on tiie lttth of Janu ary from Liverpool of a alight decline in that town, the advices slating that the Manchester spinner*, insleod of boing willing to pay a ipeoulativo price for the staple, or even the advance already estab. lislied, wore combining together, not only to pre vent the market going higher, but lo effect a reduc tion. The decline in price wae, however, but tern, porary, and at the beginning of February the feel ing in favor of advance was again predominant.^ On (lie 20th of February, Liverpool accounts' were received in New York, stating that fair up lands had reached 8d, and fair Orleans 6)d per lb., with the report of the extensive ealos which had taken place in that town during the latter part of January, the quantity disposed of during the week ending the 3rd of February amounting to 103,500 Utiles exceeding by,8,660 bales the memorable week ending the 23d of April, 1825, and the greateit amount ever sold in the same time. It appear*, however, this intelligence did not create the wished for stimulus, and prices drooped under the dieap. pointment prevailing. The steamer that left for Engluiid on the 1st of Murch took out increased estimates of crops, and the amount was roundly mated as being 2,000,000 bale* which, with posi tive orders to sell at the market price, under thn (teculiar feeling in America ana England^ soon brought the fall that some time previously, hail threatened to occur; In America it was evident thut prices could not be much longer supported* since the total receipts of the article amounted toi 1,181,094 bales, while the total exports were only 4.19,882 bales, uf which but 282,474 bale* had beam shippid in Groat Britain, the stocks in all the ports In the meanwhile having run up 620,994 bale*, of which New Yurk alone held 152,000 bales, Tha- consequence of this position of affairs was, that a general desire te sell became apparent, and the de cline in the New York market in the month of March was fully l)d. per lb. In the month of April prices further declined, the Liverpool ac- counts showing the effects of the increased estim ates, and the large shipments making for export from America. During the month of May, June, and July, prices remained without material altera* lien, tiie fluctuation not exceeding )c. per pound. Since August a further fall has taken pluce of l)c. per pound, the result of the unusually heavy stocks, and the fluttering prospects of the next ernp. It is said, and most truly, that the fluctuations here ex hibited satisfactorily demonstrate the folly of trans acting business on the faith of the early estimate* liicii are from time to time made of the crop, and those probably the production of interested parties, who are ready to seize every opportunity they can, lit whatever risk or cost, lo make an advantageous market for themselves. The total receipt* for cot. ton forthuyenr 1843-4 have amounted to 2,030,- 409 hales. Tne manufacturers of America have taken for llieir own consumption during the year 340.744 bales, which is an increase of21,615 bales compared with last year. Many new mille are suid to have been built, and more are in course of of erection, which is made the foundation of an opinion that the domestic consumption of the Uni ted Slates is destined in fuluro to exercise a much greater influence upon tho price of the raw materi al than lias hitherto been tiie case. Shooting by Accident.—“Plaso your lordship’s honor und glory,” replied Tim, “I shuttho liure by accident.” “By accident,” remarked Captain— O’Hailoran. “By accident," continued the postil- linn. "I was firing at a bush, and the beast ran across my aim, nil of Iiis own uccord.” “The gamekeeper tells n different story,” replied his lordship. “Och ! don’t put faith in what that man says,” said Tim Ryan, “when lie never cares about sp'uking the truth, any how.

Tiie Fair Sex in Amehica.— You seldom see an \merican Indy accompanied in her walks, rides or Irivcs, except on Sundays, by a gentleman. It iuuiJ bo a waste of lime, und, consequently, u use- ess expenditure uf money, to indulgo in the gentle I tnd refining society of llio female sex- Young, lolictilo anJ pretty women are most unprotected, hid in tiie guyest colors. I believe they are not Icnieduny uf the innocent enjoyments procured by I less and female society, and they may bn seen racing the streets, from store to stare, uud from innrding bouse to boarding house, shopping and ■tying visits. This custom of young married wo- non not having a homo of their own, but inhabit ing those nests of gossip, called boarding houses, seems to me injudicious and reprehensible. Tiie young American wifo and they marry when almost children—is thus left all day without the society of Iter husband or the protection of his presence. Her conversation is limited in tiie vicious details ol scandal, or the insipid twaddle of dress, and in e place where all huve a right to enter, the good and well disposed woman most frequently come in con tact with many who, had she possessed a home of her own, would never iinvo been admitted to her presence.—Mrs. Houston's Texas and Ike Gulf of Mexico.

Revolutionary Navy,—In the Revolution, tiro American Navy appears lo have attained the great est strength not long after Ihe commencement of llio contest. In October, 1770, there were twenty- lour captains, commsnding vessels of from ten to thirty two guns. Alter that period, the few uddi. lions were insufficient to compensate for the loss. But iu 1778, and thenceforward through the wur, the travel power of France was on the sido of the United Slates, and that party supplied the wnul of a maritime force of our own. What I would do.—If i possessed tiie most valuable tilings in the world, and was about to will them away, tiie following would be my plan of dis- tribulion : I would give lo llio world truth and friendship, which nru very scarce. I would give an additional portion of truth to law. yers, traders, und merchants. I would give lo physician* skill and learning. I would give to printers llieir pay. To gossip women, short longues.

Murray, sen of tiie respected gentleman who for so many years filled llie office of American Consul at Liverpool, has recently been making a successful experiment iu the growth of cotton, at his residence, Lissard, near the mouth of the Mersey, on tho Cheshire side. A fine speci men of Sea Island was exhibited, a few days linck in the exchange News-rooms; It con sisted of two bulbs, one open, exhibiting a beautiful cotton, tiie other closed. The cotton looked so nat. tiral, so much like a sample taken from a bag, that several gentlemen refused to believe that it belong ed to tiie plant to which it wa* attached ; and one of them was so perliniclous in hi* skepticism, that Mr. Jones, the respected Master of the Exchange, tore open the closed bulb, and exhibited, to his asloo. ishment, similar cotton, in its natural prison. It is kept in a temperature of ubout 80 Important discovery.—J.
