Reward of Honesty.—A touching little Story. There is something in female honesty which charm* as much a* honesty in a man, and both are so rare, and at the same lime to inestimable, that the cele. brated distich of our moral bard will equally apply lo either: “A wit’s a feather, anti, a cliiafs a rod; An honest man's the noblest work of God.” [FROM THE PRESBYTERIAN ADVOCATE.] An Interesting Narrative. Mr. Editor—For the particulars of the following 'liadenu. I » m obliged to Mr Grimes, an older iiit to church of Lower Buffalo, i have hastily penn 7ihem, hoping that they might please and profi ' aiders. What churches now exert .them Mirfti as much to sustain the gospel 1 Our story will carry ihe reader back a little ethao gf t y years, when all north of the Ohio ,ircr wss an almost unbroken wilderness—tht ■nterious red man’s home. Oil the other side t lold sod hardy band from beyond the mountain! hid built their log cabins and were trying to sub- due the wilderness. To them every "hour was full of peril. The In- dims would often cross the liver, steal their chil. dree and horses, and kill and scalp any victim vbo eame in their way. They worked in the field with weapons at their side, and on the Sabbath met in the grove of the rude log church to hear the word of God with their rifles in their hands. To preach to these settlers, Mr. Joseph Smith, a Presbyterian minister, had left his parental home east of the mountains. He, it was said, was the se. eoad minister who had crossed the Monongahela rirer, He settled in Washington county, Penn., and became the pastor of the Cross Creek and Up- per Buffalo congregations, dividing his time between them. He found them a willing and united people, but still unable to pay him a salary which would •upport his family. He, in common with all tho early ministers, must cultivate a farm. He pur. chasedone on credit, proposing to pay for it with the salary pledged to him by his people. Years passed away. The pastor was unpaid. Lillie or no money was in circulation. W heut was abundant, but there was no market. It could aot be sold for more than twelve and a half cents incash. Even their Balt had to be brought across Ibe mountains on pack horses—was worth eight dollars per bushel, and twenty one busheis of wheat were often given for one of salt. The time came when the last payment must be Bade,and Mr; Smith was told he must pay or leave his farm. Three years’ salary was now due Croat his people. Forwant of this his land, his improvements upon lt,aod bis hopes of remaining among a beloved people, must be ahandoned. The people were celled together and the case laid before them.— They were greatly moved. Counsel from on high was sought. Plan after plan was proposed aud ibtodoned. The congregations were unable to pay the tithe of their debts, and no money could b« borrowed. la despair they adjourned to meet again the fol. loving week. In the meantime it was ascertained theta Mr. Moore who owned the only mill in tho Country, would grind for them wheat on moderate terms. At the next meeting it was resolved to Cany their wheat to Mr. Moore’s mill. Some C 60 bushels, some more. This was carried fifteen to twenty six miles on horses to the mill. la a month word came that the flour was ready to goto market. Again the people were called to- gelhor. After an earnest prayer, the question was aeked, who will run the flour to New Orleans,— This waea startling question. The work was per il'Ui to (lie extreme. Months must pass before the adventurer could hope to return, even though hie journey should be fortunate. Nearly all the way wae a wilderness; and gloomy tales had been told of the treacherous Indian. More than one boet’ecrew had gone on that journey and came back no more. Who then would endure the toil and brnve the dinner? None volunteered. The young shrunk back, and tho middle aged had their excuse. Their last •clieme teemed likely to fail. At length a hoary beaded man,an elder in the church, sixty-four years #fage, arose, and to the astonishment of the assern. bly said,“Hear am I, send me.” The deepest faeliag at once pervaded the whole assembly. To *ne tbeir venerated elder thus devote himself for their good, melted them all to tears, They gather. *d Hound old father Smiley to learn that his resolu, Uon was indeed taken; that rather than lose their pnator.he would brave dunger, toil and even death. After aoine delay and trouble two young men were sed by hope of a large reward to go as his as- •■atoms. A day was appointed for starling. The young ••dold from far and near, from love to father Snail- *Mad their deep interest in the object of his mis ^°*i gathered together, and with their pastor at •Mir bead eame down from the church, fifteen miles •wayae the bank of the river, to bid tho old man ®mw«||.

More than nine months passed, and no word *•*• back from father Smiley. Many a prayer ■•d been breathed for him ; but what had been hiw "***as unknown. Another Sabbath came. The Nple camo together for worship, and there on his •••s beach before the preacher, composed and de- ™*r HI father Smiley. After the services, tho H*ple were requested to meet early in tho week to ®** , tba report. All cume again. ^ftor thank* had been rendered to God for his return, father Smiley arose nnd told his story; j*Jlthe Lord had prospered hi* mission ; that he 7**dd his flour for twenty seven dollars per bar- f*' »«d then got safaly buck. Ho then drew n *y|e puns, and poured upon the table a larger pile "gold than most of tlin spectators had ever seen nor*. The young men were paid ench a hun Father Smiley was asked his char Phillips the Singer.—Comfort for the tall Son f York.—When Phillips—we mean the Phillips, and not that Phillips, who was killod on the Man chester railroad—when Phillips, Henry Phillips the bullud monger, wus at Natchez a few weeks ago, “the light of other days” could not shiue. In his perambulations, however, he came across a friend of ours—one of the lights of these days in sober truth—who hearing the vocal wonder speak of fish- ing, proposed to him an excursion to a neighboring preserve, where he might exercise his function in the angling line without stint or alarm for the ex. tinction of the finny tribe. The admiration of Donizetti and the envy of the singing world, from Lablache to the Mocking-bird, was not murderous. )y inclined ; but in consideration of the politeness shown him, condescended to blow a crescendo on the trumpet to the therqe of his own renowfn. We observe in a late number of the “Spirit,” a notice of the style in whicli this strain was done. In the midst of the conversation our friend asked ihe mu- aicul giraffe some question about Porter, ‘the Tull son of York*’ To his astonishment Phillips was oblivious of that distinguished individual; but lest his ignorance might be a mere syncope of the me mory, he turned to his valet and addressed him thus: . •W-e-b-b,’ (the follow’s nanio was Webb, but his master called it hesitatingly, as though he had for- gotton that also,) ‘W-e.b-b, do I-er know Porter?’ Webb pondered upon the inquiry with profes sional sagacity, and at length iuformed his master that he knew not the man The best of the joke is, Phillips is more indebted to Porter of the Spirit of the Times, for his repu tation in this country, than he is to nature. Shortly afterthis specimen of cockney affectation Phillips, finding that the citizens of Nnlchez hud no intention oi pressing him to repeat a concert he had given there, although he made himself conve it ient to solicitation, betook himself to Jackson, with the double purpose of honoring the capital of tho State and astonishing the authorities—legisla tive, judicial and executive—then and there in the act of making, deciding and administering the laws He engaged tile theatre for two nights for his own proper and exclusive use, and distributed his circu lars with the gravity of a man who had made up his mil id to administer two doses of melody, at the pe ril of salivating the town. It so befell thut upon the night of his first concert the Governor of Mis sissippi gave a "blow out,” and of course his Ex cellency’s entertainment attracted the whole popu lation—it being a free snap. Phillips was left alone in his glory, the loot-lights comprising the brighter portion of the audience, and the griffins and other iabulous paintings on the boxes making up the remainder. The next morning Phillips’ economical views got the better of his determina* to repeat his concert; as his resolution did not ex tend to the rashness of renting a whole theatre to sing songs to the scene-shifter. In this change of mood, he met the gentleman of whom he hired the theatre, and forthwith asked lo be released from the second night’s rent. Hereupon something like the following dialogue took q-jee : > ‘Mr. Phillip’s the Governor’s party interferred with your concert last night; but,’ he continued, in order to relieve the mortification of the artist, ‘if you give another I think it will be well attended.’ ‘When were the Gqvernor’s tickets issued V in quired Phillips after a short pause*’ •Monday evening.’ ‘Why my cards,’ retorted Phillips with some in dignation,‘were issued in the morning, and I have known the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland lo put offa party frequently on my account.’ •Well, Mr. Phillips,’ remarked the gentleman, a little out of humor at the arrogance of tho adven turer, ‘all I have got to say is, that if the Lold Lieutenant of Ireland is a d—d fool, the Governor of Mississippi isn’t.’ If the connecting pipe ofa high-pressure steam, engine had burst in the midst of an orchestral per formance, it could not have produced greater con- fusion in the harmony of sounds, than Ibis reply didin the ideas of Mr. Phillips. He made a six bar rest, hummed something in “A minor,’ played * retreating solo with such vigor and precision that nothing was hoard of him until ho issued a procla. mation in the Cincinnati papers protesting thut he was not that Phillips who was killed on the Man. Chester railroad, but the Henry Phillips who had just made a musical tour through tho Southern Slates with distinguished success.—N. Orleans Pi cayune . The Cardinal Fames, who was very properly named the patron of the poor, gave public audience ence a week to indigent persons in his neighbor hood, and distributed hi* abundance to them ac cording to their wants. A woman of genteel ad dress, hut in a dejected, und forlorn condition, pre. sented herself one day with Iter daughter, a beauti ful creature about fifteen years old, before this lib— erul ecclesiastic. "My lord,” said she, “the rent of ray house (five crowns) has been due some days, ana my landlord threatens to turn me into the street, unless he is paid within the week. Have the goodness, my Lord Cardinal, to interpose your sacred authority, till by our industry we can satisfy the demand of our persecutors.” The Cardinal wrote a billet, which he put into the petitioner’s hand, nnd said," Go to my steward with this paper, and receive from him five crowns. But the steward, on presenting the document, paid down fifty. The woinun absolutely refused to re ceive mure than five, alleging that his eminence gave her to expect no more, and that it must be a mistake. Both were so convinced of acting liter ally according to order, that it was mutually agreed to refer the matter to the cardinal himself. “It is true,” suid he, “there must be a mistake. Give me the paper, and I will rectify it.” He re. turned the billet thus certified to the woman saying —“So much candor nnd honesty deserve recom pense. Hero I have ordered you a thousand crowns. What you can spare of it lay up as a dowry for your daughter in nmrringe. and regard my donation as the blessing of God on the upright disposition of a pure mind.” [fan* THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCES.] , The Ten-Hour System. {For the right^uiiderstamlnvg bf the following I tud'espril, it is proper to state that an order has I stcly been issued to the severul Executive depart. i nents, under tho sign manual of the President, for l he revival und enforcement upon Ihe clerks in the p ublic offices of wlml is familiarly called the toil. h our system.—Editors.] Messrs.

Slio came to France , and some years afterwards she married Dr. Sup, the King’s physician, whose excoilent heart and cultivated mind had greator charms for her than the laurels of the conquerer. In the course of our conversation witli Eugene Sue, it would not have been easy to avoid speaking of the “Wandering Jew," and the danger that attended the bold act of unmasking so mischievous and powerful a body as the Jesuits. He informed us that they had made fruitless attempts to intimidate him by anonymous letters—those fatal weapons with which they in flicted on Villemain the blows from which his health will probably never recover. Ho alto made us acquainted with some of the disclosures which he is daily receiving, respecting the perfidious intrigues and the dark machinations of the above named re verend brotherhood. Ho is in the continual re ceipt of correspondence from Prussia and Belgi um ; and the .Swiss Cantons, in which there is a great feeling of hostility to the encroaching spirit of the fraternity, propose sending to Eugene Sue a testimonial of their sympathy.

The Curtain Lecturers, so very laughable, and true to nature, and so extensively copied in this country, were written by Mr. Blanchard while his wife was lying at the point of death and his heart was filled with anguish. Little does the reader who laughs over a brilliant sally of wit, or a highly humorous essay, know of the feelings of the writer, nor dream that the brain which gives birth to such Mo- mus-liko fancy that ‘sets the table in a roar,’ aches with the most intense despair, Poor Bianchard was remarkable for his high social qualities ; his companionable spirit, and Ins free and easy dispo. silion. He was notorious for neatness of dress, always looking, says a friend who writes to us, as though just from a baud box.” He cut his throat, poor fellow, while in a slate of delirium.

Tho Ducdu Broglie, tho French Commissioner, Ims arrived in London, and witli Dr. Lushington, commenced al once tlie discussion of thu negotia tions on tlie right of search. The substitute pro. posed is the blockade of tho coast of Africa by the two powers, joined, of course, lo llie squadron of the United Slates already there. AII hope of the missing packet ships, tlie Eng land nnd tlie United Stntcs, is gone. On tho 5lh ult. the Seine was frozen over at Par. is ; tile ice was strong enough to sustain tlie weight of carriages. In the British House of Lords on tho 14th ult. on the motion for n third reading of the Jewish disa. bilities lull, tlie Duke of Cambridge took occusion to express liis cordial concurrence in that measure aud to pronounce a high eulogy on the benevolence of some members of tho Jewish pursuasiou. The bill was read a third time and passed. In the House of Commons, on llie 10th ult. Mr. Goulbuni stuted that it was not the intentions of government to make any present ulieration in tho duties on tobacco, Texas—Oregon—President Polk's Inaugural.— Intelligence of tlie tiiiul pnssngo of the Texas An- nexution Resolutions readied London on the 2fith March, as did also tlie inaugural Address of Prits- ident Polk. The reception given to them in the British capitoi is indicated in the extracts which follow : From the London Times of March 27. Tlie consent ol Congress to tho annexation of Texas is an event so long expected, that tlie ques. tion of its justice Ims gradually merged in tho vis ion of its certainty. There was a linio when tlie most enlightened and thoughtful men of tlie Union could venture lo entertain usiroug moral objection against it; and their arguments are nn recurd. It was clear, however, that the muss of liie Union, its newest and must active elements, wore in favor of the measure. Their eyes were always reverting to Texas. Texas unappropriated, like indepen. dent Mcgnra within sight of Athens, wus the eye. sore of tlie Union ; nut hut tlml there ure other eyesores to llie ambitious gaze of that people.— Whatever they see they love, whatever they love they covet, whatever they covet they expect and endeavor to obtain. But Texas was tho first tiling in their way, and formed tlie bold foreground of their hopes. Texas adjacent, revolted, independent, still menaced and molested hv tlie weak and impo litic ruler’s whose yoke it Imd broken, ulrendy peo pled und governed by llie citizens of tlie l)iiion,or adventurers of tlie sumo language or principles, was nil acquisition absolutely necessury, not so much to the happiness, as to the very comlnrt. tlie ease, the sleep, tiic digestion, of certainly more limn half llie republic. Tlie only part of llie business, there, on which there could he nuy surprise, would be llie particular time and manner which republican wisdom und taste would select for llie acquisition. To an Eu ropean understanding there is something quite gro. tesque in tlie time and manner actually adopted.— The Congress conies to this momentous decision in tho very point of time between tho two president ships. Mr. Tyler completes liis career with u de termination which lie cannot have llie smallest share in carrying out, and Mr. I’ollt will be engaged throughout tlie whole term in tlie arduous execution of a project imposed upon him at tho first moment of his olficial existence. Tlie former President, us lie approaches his end, seems horror struck at llie thought of leaving his four years u blank in his country’s annals. From the Times of March 28. In tlie liiuugurul address delivered by the new President on the 4tli of March, wo find faithfully re produced all llie worst characteristics of tlie Am erican statesmen who have been in power since the withdrawal of Mr. Webster from the Cubinet of Washington. If Mr. Polk waschosen as tlie tho- rough representative of tlie party which makes sluvery, repudiation, and foreign aggression, its cluims to distinction, we are bound to acknowledge tlmt ho has not swerved from tlie intentions of his constituents. Ills language oai all those subjects lias the same unblushing impudenco which belong ed to Ids predecessors, uud which we had fondly im agined that no one else could rival ; but in liis mouth it bus this serious exaggeration, that, it con vinces us ho is prepared to begin where tho others leave off We hud carefully guarded ourselves against any preconceptions hostile to Mr. Polk ;— and we had endeavored to pursuade ourselves dial we should find more moderation in his own conduct than in that of his adherents, but tlie indulgent il lusion is completely dispelled by the first words he utters; and the anxiety which »at incessantly awaked by Mr. Tyler’s strange and incongruous efforts is rendered infinitely greater by declarations from the new President of at least equal violence, and we fear much more significance. One of the first sentiment*uttered by Mr. Polk, after an *xordium,in which “ the most admirable aod wisest system of human mind*” receive* a vo. ry amp]* panegyric, “I* that of a d**P itfWt •• A*, scheme* and agitation* of mltguWvd person*. whose object i* th* destruction ot domestic institu tions existing in other section* of lb* country .”— A mongst other nation* lb* expression “domestic in. stitutions” designates all that i* most sacred among men ; Jn the United Stale* it expresses that «tut« of bondage which i* most abhorred by the free— that system of slavery which other countries hav* practised, which tome have renounced, which *11 deplore, but which the politician* of America have alone the courage to eulogize and defend. Mr. Polk reserves hit compassion, however, for other objects. “Happy would it be,” lays he, “for indebted 8tates if they were freed from their lia bilities, many of which were inoeutiously co'mract- ed.” Tlnlt sentiment will, indeed, find an echo in every debtor's goal all over tho world! Wo who feel lor slaves more than for slave-owner*, are apt to think unpaid creditors even more lo be pitied than profligate debtors; but in the New World these things are reversed. “The sound mor^l and honorable feeling of the people of the indebted .States cannot be questioned,” says the Pnei lent, hut, whilst sympathies and eulogies are showered upon them, what, without one recent exception, is become of their unpaid dividends? After two such paragraph* as these,our readers will not be surprised at any thing that may follow, more especially with reference to the foreign rela tions of tho Union. A lie repeated after it has been contradicted, and scouted by all well informed and honest men, is a lie raised to a higher power—tK. square of a lie. Mr. Tyler intimated in a message some time ugo, thut doubts were entertained by some whether Texas had not originally formed-part of the territory of the United States, and been im properly alienated from them ; but Mr. Polk reso lutely ulfirms that “Texas wae once a part of our country, was unwisely ceded away lo a foreign power, is now independent, and possesses an un doubted right to mergo her sovereignly in ours.”— The whole assertion is utterly groundless—first, because Texas formed no part of Loutsi ma when sold by France, and secondly, because the bounda ry treaty with Spain concluded in 1819 definitely wiped out all such equivocal claims forover. But in this discussion no argument is practicable; the wolf is resolved on seizing liis prey, and it signifies but little that the lamb stood drinking lowor down the brook. M r. Polk holds somewhat similar, though less pre. cine, language, as to tho Oregon territory. He pledges himself at the very outset oi his career, and with knowledge that negotiations aro actually going on between his Cabinet aud Great Britain, thnttiie American title to the country of tlie Ore gon is clear and unquestionable. But it may spare time likely lo be consumed in a very unprofitable discussion, if we cxpiess an opinion, ut least us de. cided ns liis own, that in spite of his marauders, und what lie terms liis constitutional rights, llie ter ritory of the Oregon will never bo wrested from the British Crown, to which it belongs, hut by war. Mr. Polk avers, that to enlarge the limits of the Union is to extend tlie dominions of peace over ad ditional territories and increasing millions ; but he will find that when they are so far extended ns to include tlie rightful possessions of the British cm. pire, they will encounter the hostility and the roso. iution of a people not inferior to the populace of the United Stu'es in spirit or in resources. Tho London Chronicle of the 27th makes a great noise about the Texas Resolutions—hut only for the suite of having a fling at the present Ministry und giving a little glorification lo Lord Palmerston, it snys : “ Wc confess lhat'we are much more mortified i than surprised to find this question terminated, liktt all others in which the Tory administration Imd to combat the arts or the ambition of foreign and ri val powers, that is by the total discomfiture of Brit, isli interests nnd views, whether dictuted by leel. ings of justice, of security, or of humanity. Tho question of the independence or absorption of Texas wae handed over to the Tory Government as aJair fieldfor the exertion of tlieir diplomatic skill nnd iho hundred means at a government’s disposal for tho working out of its onds. In these tho To ry Government lias most miserably failed. Tlie American Government have decided upon tlie annexation of this immense country containing :3()0,009 square miles, and are about to establish over tlmt region tlieir system of slave-cultivation. It was, indeed, a question of life and death to Amer ican slavery, which if confined to its own exhausted soils, must have declined, and met a natural death al no incalculable interval of time,* but whicli now. liuving secured to it most ample room nnd rootr- cannot be expected to pause till it fills the whole territory to the Pacific, and deluges tho New World, from which it hud been partly stayed or driven, witli its flood of misery and crime. “There were a variety of means at nn English Minister’s disposul—Mexican fears, Texan inter- ests, American horror of slavery and of planter denomination.” The Standard of courso thinks thut the Britisli Ministry did well not lo take any decided course of opposition, for which it assigns divers good reasons. For instance— if the Texans, about 60,000 white inhabitants, are desirous to incorporate themselves in the North ern union, we do not see who has either the right or tlie power to hinder them—still less can we guess u motive for interfering in the matter, for it is much better for all parlies—tho United States excepted—that the South Western Territory should be open to all attacks und reprisals provoked by the United States, than that it should serve the purpose of tlie republic, under the disguise of u false inde. pendenceand neutrality. With reference to the Oregon question,llio Stan dard Bays : It is not impossible that the Stutes may linvo enough to do in putting Texas in order, to give us time to look about us. At all events, we trust that our ministers will not give them any help, by a rush departure from tho “somnolent and silent system,” which, inconvenient as it may be for newspapers and opposition orators, is often of wonderful utili ty in diplomacy as well as in war. A conversation took place in the House of Com. moos in reference to the Oregon Territory Mr. Roebuck, the member from Bath, formerly con nected with Canada, and who has given some at. toot ion to American affairs, “thought thut if the case was properly looked into, it would be seen al once that the United Slates had no just claim West of tlie Rocky Mountains, and that the conduct uf the House of Representatives in that matter was enough to rouse indignation. Sir Robert Peel, in reply, suid that Mr. Roebuck would see that tlie re. laiions of England were net with the House of Rep resentatives, but with the American Executive.— He quite agreed that whilst negothialiona wore pen ding. nothing could be more unseemly than to use any language of blusteror menace ; but whilst for* bearing to do so, he hoped the House would not in* for that her Majesty’s government were not deeply sensible of the importance oflhe subject. Auolh. cr member asked Sir Robert Peel if he had seen the work on California, by M. de Mofras—n scien tific gentleman sent out by the French government, nnd in which,after stating that he had examined the Orpgon question, M. de Mofras says of the English claim—“II faut avouez qua celts fois la raison et la croit sonl de leur cote*” Comets.—A letter from Dr. South, of the Green wich Observatory, dated March lOth.says,— “On the 7th of February last, s comet making <he third how visible in the Heavens, was discern ed at Naples in the constellation Fridanu**, by two astronomers, the one being Dr. Peter*, of Denmark the other Mr. Cooper, late member fur the county of Sligo.” The new proprietor* of Ihe Mstdisonian, have fixed on the name of the « United State* Journal," for that paper,under which the title it will be issued from tnd after ibe let of lfey next. mm*
