The King and the Catholics.—lt i s stated in some of the London papers, that the late protract, td \ isit ol Lord Eldon to the King, was made at tie instance of His Majesty, from a desire to ar gue the Catholic Question with the late distin guished Lord Chancellor. Dut the discussion, it is a sorted, did not produce any change whatever in the mind of the King, or in that of the venera ble Peer. Nor, on the other hand, was there any abatement in the regard which the King has al ways manifested for his old and faithful Minister. A meeting has been recently held in Boston to devise measures to enforce the more speedy col lection of debts, to lessen the expenses thereof, to ‘ prevent the sacrifice of debtors’ property, and to ‘ provide some means of punishing fraudulent debt- j ors. Nine gentlemen, it is said, were appointed to 1 consider the subject fully and make report to ; another meeting to be held by them when ready to present the result of their reflections for con sideration. James Murray, of Kennebunk-port, has been convicted at York, Me. of murdering his wife while he was drunk, some months since, by plac ing a hot bake-kettle cover upon her back. A runaway pair celebrated the rites of matri mony in this city, observes the Boston Galaxy, a week or too since. They lived, dove-like, in bonds ol wedlock for the space of one hour! when i the fair prisoner of Ilyinen absconded. The groom \ was almost distracted at the loss of—not his bride, but for the money paid for the license ! ! ThueP it is— “Man wants but little here below, Nor wants that little long.” The Protestant. This is an interesting ‘ book, though it indicates no uncommon power in Hie writer. Indeed, a work could scarcely fail to be so, that portrayed, with any thing like truth, the rapid changes of • policy isi the government during the brief and gentle reign of ilie Sixth Edward, the ‘ terrible administration of the bloody Mary, and the sodden accession of Protestant | Bpss. Most of the scenes are laid in the 1 reign of the merciless Mary ; and tliou history proves thev are none too horrible 1 for truth, they aie often too much so for the mind and nerves of the reader. We gitfo the following extract, because it is free j from any painful interest.— Mass. Jour. ‘ Lei me examine this old serving man,’ i said Friar John; ‘for I see he is cunning. 1 j ’ Were you ever enjoined by your master to go to confession! did he ever confess you himself? 1 4 in truth be did, replied Abel; 4 for I remember when the ale turned sour, and nobody cared to say bow it came to pass, master got the truth out of me, so I told him that it lacked by some pounds the right qu • ritily of bops. 1 4 Pshaw !’ exclaim ed Friar John, 4 1 do not ask you about ale and hops-— did h(? ever bid you seek a ghostly father for the confession of year sinsl’ * Master never let us servants talk .bout ghostly things in his house,’ replied Abel; 4 for he said that such stories did but ilighten the maidens; and as to sins, the Lord help the man who is free from them l 1 4 Why, what a fellow have we to deal with here, said Thornton; ‘let me try if I can make any thing out of him.* ‘ Did you, A bel, ever hear your master read the mass! 1 4 Thai’s a point I can’t so well answer, 1 said Abel, after a monem’s pause ; * for mass be ing a latin lingo, I don’t know what is, or is not, mass. I often hear master & mistress Rose read together out of a big book, in a strange tongue; and it might be latin or mass ; all one for me, for i could not un- i del-stand it ’ 4 You will get nothing out of a sly old fox like that, unless you give him a taste of the j question, 1 said Harpsficld } 4 that is a thing which m akes a man understand any lan guage afier first trial. 1 4 li may do so with the Spanish; but Englishmen are less apt scholars, replied Abel. 4 But what have you been taught to believe by your master, old man !’asked Fridi John. 4 Do you be lieve in God ? 4 1 do, most truly, 1 auswer <:d Abel solemnly; and he bowed his head as he spoke. 4 Do you believe in the De vil! 1 4 As plain as if I saw him before my eyes, 1 said Abel ; and looked the Friar full hi the face. 4 You may question this man yourself Thornton,’ said Friar John ; he is too ignorant for me to deal with. 1 4 Speak up sirrah—have you been .taught to respect the laws! 1 inquired Sir John Baker; 4 do you respect the Queen, and the Clergy, & the Justices of the Peace !’ 4 I respect them all,* replied old Abel ; and though a Justice of the Peace might bear the laws in paniers on his back, like an ass, still I respect them ; and he bowed with the utmost reverence to Sir John, as he spoke. The Justice puff ed, hut did not like to understand the old Kentish man: and Thornton, finding noth ing could he made of such a witness, once injure addressed Owen YVilford— 4 What service did you perform in your church ! speak plainly.’ 4 Be silent, my dear fath er, 1 said Edward Wilford 4 these men will betray you. I hear the movements of a pen upon paper behind the arras. Seme one is concealed, taking notes of the exam ination. 1 4 Who dares accuse us of such baseness! 1 said Thornton. 4 None but a beast would ’ answered old Abel; <fc catch ing hold of the arras, with a low, 4 Inst Piu clier, hist —the dog instantly sprang and fiercely attacked someone concealed there. There was a deep growl, and the loud cry. 4 Help me ! help! or I shall be throN tied, and n dead man!* Sir John Biker jumped up, but his weight overpowered him ; and he tumbled towards the chimney, puffing and blowing, and su'earing all the oaths lie ever heard from Bonner, in his hottest gusts of passion. Thornton threat ened to make the insult a Star Chamber business. Harpsfietd roared out for brand ing in the hand, putting to the rack, and SAVANNAH , THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 28, 1829. committing to Mundy Hole, all in one breath. Friar John said nothing, hut glan ced his dark eye upon Edward Wilford, with peculiar malignity The Notary sneaked out of his hidden place, his go\Vn and tippet tattered by his contest with t/ie victorious dog. The blushes of defeat were concealed; for his ink horn had been overturned upon his face and heard; and if blackness be the natural color of the devil, Lawyer Cluny might well have been mistaken for the piince of darkness. In the confusion, Abel Allen managed to open the door, and publicly called out, ‘Come off, Pinciter—come off, I say!’ and away rau the noble terrier, after his maslei’s heels, as fast as his four legs would carry him, hearing triumphantly in his mouth the sheet of paper he had won from the discomfitted party. “Self Love and Social are the same.’ So the Poet sung, and so the business of life exemplifies in a thousand cases For in stance, our own vocation! No remark is more true than the following profound max im set forth by the Lexington Reporter: Advertising.— Perhaps the best money ever paid by the people in business of any sort, is that which is paid for Adveitise- i ments.’ 1 Does the reader require any proof!— Here is a case in point, from the files of the Boston Statesman: “Denefits of Advertising. —Sometime last week, a young man brought in a notice, stating that he had lost a wallet, with a con siderable amount of money. This morn ing, the identical wallet was left with us, by another young man, whose honesty we spent half an hour in admiring Mr Dra per can have the wallet by calling at our counting room. 1 * When we recommend, therefore, copious j advertising to the public, have wo our own interest in view alone! Isit not equally ad vantageous to the public itself? How can you so well bring together the demand and the supply; those wUoioant, and those who have an article; the master and the servant; the employer and the agent; the loser and the finder; those who have something which they wish to part with, and those who have lost something which they wish to re gain! Thus it is, indeed that the whole circle ol our wants, or of our possessions, is made known, and the buyer and the sel ler, with other correlatives, are brought to gether in the shortest possible times. Do you want shoes—you lcok among the ad vertising sons of Crispin Have they shoes to sell on the best terms—they throw them at once into die newspapers. Indeed, in Old England, some who want wives, and some who want husbands advertise their several wants, and are sometimes introduc ed to each other by the the Printer’s Devil. Thus it is, that the great varieties of desires I and supplies are brought together like a dovetailed piece of carpentry. Who, then, will deny that in many cases the best mo ney laid out is for advertising. Spending is the true economy of the public at large— as we will boldly maintain to the end of the chaptei!— Richmond Compiler. APPEARANCE OF ROTHSCHILD. Fn m the 44 Second Judgment of Babylon the Great , 1 by the author of 44 Babylon the Great.” Sceptic; go to the Royal Exchange al most any morning, and among some score of persons, whose appearance will not ve ry greatl) elevate your notions of the digni ty and grace of human nature, you will see someone whose face and figure alike baf fled your powers of description, and his whole man and manner make you instiuct* ively repeat the vulgar terastich— “ I do not like thee Doctor Fell, The reason why, I cannot tell: The fact itself I feel full well— I do not like thee Doctor Fell.” The thing before you stands cold less, and apparently speculationless, as the pillar of salt into which the avaricious spouse of the Patriarch was turned ; and while you start with wonder at what it can be or mean, you pursue *he association, and think upon the fire;and brimstone that were rained down. It is a human being of no very Apollo-like form or face. Short, squai, with its shoul ders drawn up to its ears, and its hands del vpd into its breeches pockets. The hue of its face is a mixture of brickdust and saffron, and the texture seems that of the skin of a dead frog. There is a rigdity and tension in the features, too, which would make you fancy, if you did not see that were not ihe fact, that someone from behind was pinch ing it with a pair of hot tongs, and that it were either ashamed or afraid to tell. Eyes are usually denominated the windows of the soul ; but here you would conclude that the windows we re false ones, or that there was no soul to look out of them. There comes comes not one pencil of light from the in terior, neither is there one scintillation of that which comes from without reflection in any direction. The whole pu’s yau in mind of 44 a skin to let.” and you wonder why it stands upright, without at least some thing within. By and by, another figuie comes up to it. It then steps two paces n side, and the m*st inquisitive glauce that ever you saw, and a glance more inquisi tive than you would have thought of, is drawn out of the ere while fixed and lead en eye, as if one were drawing a sword from a scabbard. The visiting figure, which has the appearance of coming by accident, <fc not by design stops but a second or two; in the course of which looks are exchanged, which though you cannot translate, you feel must be of most important meaning.— After these, the eyes are sheathed up again, and the figure resumes its stony posture, — During the morning, numbers of visiters come, all of whom meet with a similar le r’epiion and vanish in a similar manner— and last of all, the figure itself vanishes, leaving you utterly at a loss as to what can be its nature and functions. That singulsr figure is Nathan Myres Rothschild, the Jew? who holds the purse to all the kings on the continent, and opens or closes it just as he lists; and who upon certain occasions, has been supposed to have more influence in this country, than the proudest and most wealthy of its nobles —perhaps more influence than the two Houses of Parliament taken together.—He takes that post, to be in the midst of his scoufes ; those visitors who appear to come casually, are all there by appointment.- They communicate iht-ir information, re ceive their instructions, and hasten to act; and probably at each application of them to the grand calculating machine, it was wil led that a million of money should change masters, or that a potentate who calls him self absolute, should alter his purpose, dis miss his minister, or change the system of his politics. Ungainly as his eternal man is, and detached as it seems from business, and incapable of thought, it is the case of perhaps the most curious, and certainly the most powerful calculating machine that ever existed. The prodigies of calculation* which have from time to time been exhibited, all sink into nothing befv re this one They could play with numbers, in a manner wonderful enough, no doubt ; but their play was un productive, was nothing but a meteor roar* vel to be soon forgot ; but this wields the purse of the world, and by means of that, all the power in it —Along, too, with the intuitive magic of numbers which this sin gular being possesses, there must be a ma gic over the passions of men ; but what it is, or how it works, the possessor will not tel), and no body else can. Even this secrecy, however, forcible, and fell as it is, cannot last forever. The former high priests of mammon have suf fered reverses, have been swept of all their wealth, driven to despair, and perished by their own hands, and therefore the man who lives upon the produce of his own dai ly industry, must be more happy, and may he more secure than Rothschild the Jew, amid all his wealth and power. So much for the very name of the remnant of Jecob. Tories’ Purchase. —At a meeting of the settlers on Forbes 1 Purchase, east of the Ocklccknee, it was resolved that every ef fort he made to sustain the title of the Uni led States to it, and that a committee be appointed to carry the above resolution in to effect. M. G. Wykoff, J. Brinson, atid T. J. Greene, Esqs. were appointed, who will meet at the Planters’ Hotel, in Talla hassee, on the 2d Monday in June, to con sult with other committees on this subject. Tallahassee Floridian. The f#lowing is a letter from a gentle man residing in Jackson County, to his Excellency Win. P. Duval. The success of Col. Robinson, in the cultivation of su gar, afford the most flattening presages of the future prosperity of Florida, and might to be sufficient to satisfy the minds of all interested in the present experiments of our planters.— Tallahassee Floridian . Cinpot.A, April 20, 1829. Sir —l have delayed writing to you con cerning my experiments in sugar-making, in order to witness the process of draining and to make an experiment in distilling, and am happy to state that the result of both has been to my complete satisfaction. Having lately seen an incorrect state ment in one of the Tallahassee papers, cal culated to deceive or discourage persons abroad, who might wish to embark in the business, I feel it my duty to state facts that may be relied on. I was late in commencing my operations and was.almost entirely destitute of know ledge on the subject, yet from sixteen acres of land I have manulactured eighty barrels of sugar, and 1,000 gallons of molasses.— After my people had acquired some skill and experience in the process, 1 laid off one square acre from which we put up 9 1-2 barrels of excellent sugar, though at that time my mill was out of repair being injured in the coggs I am now engaged in distilling some bad sugar, injured cane juice and molasses. The spirits obtained are of a much better quality than I expected—the amount I am not yet fully able to state, but am of the opinion that it will he the most profitable part of the crop. That cane is the proper staple of this country, I entertain not the least doubt.— It is only necessary to plant earlv—say in October or November, and to take in the crop by the first day of January. Very respectfully, yours, Jacob Robinson. CHINESE RAZORS JUST received by the ship Oglethorpe a supply of these celebrated Razors. It is well known to those who have a general knowledge of the Oriental countries that the Chinese and Japanese are deservedly celebrated for a profound acquain tance with the Arts and Sciences, in fact, in many instances, surpass in a high degree, what Euro peans have as yet been able to accomplish. This is found to be the case in the very useful and ne cessary article of Razors; and travellers from the countries have so frequently represented the ex traordinary advantages that the Chinese Razors have over all others, that the proprietors have, at a considerable expense, formed a connexion w ith a celebrated manufacturer in Pekin, to finable them to have a regular suppl/ of blades, stamped with the maker's name, and made in a suitable form for the use of that part of the world w here the chin is the part of the human body and not the head, (as in China, Ac.) to undgergo the opera tion of shaving.

It admirably opens and purges the head, strength ens the nerves, revives the spirits, and has a most grateful aromatic smell. It removes Drowsiness, Sleepiness, Giddiness, ann Vapours; relieves Dimness of the Eyes; is excellent in curing recent Deafness; and has been of great service in Hysteric and Paralytic com plaints; and in restoring the Memory when im paired by disorders of the head. It is also extremely proper for persons who visit the sick, or go into unwholesome rooms oi unhealthy places, and hot climates, as it fortifies the head against noxious exhalations and infec tious air. A pinch or two may be taken at any time, and indeed several in a day; but for a cold, or stoppage in the head, a pinch or two should be taken just boforo going to bed. Those who are in the habit of taking much of the common snuffs, (and thereby injure both head and stomach,) are desired to mix some of this Ce phalic Snuff with them, and their bad effects will, in a great, measures be prevented.
