Later From Europe.
By the packet ship Rochester, Capt. Wood
house, from Liverpool, we have London papers
to the sth ult. The latter are two days later than
before received, and contain further accounts
from India and China, fully corroborating the
intelligence from that quarter brought us by the
last steamship. There seems still some uncer
tainty about the ratification of the Treaty dicta
ted to China by the English forces. Some speak
•f it as positively ratified by the Emperor; oth
ers, that a messenger had returned from Pekin,
and that the Emperor had expressed his full ac
quiescence to the terms of the treaty at any
rate it see jns to be considered equivalent to a rat
ification, and no apprehensions are expressed in
any quarter, that he is not acting with sincerity.
Somewhat later intelligence from Cabool is
given, which we copy. It will be seen that the
successes of the British continue. Honors and
rewards are lavished by the Governor General
ot India on the officers and men who have been
engaged in the late campaign. The news,
which we at first doubted, that an Ambassador
would be sent from China to England, appears to
be true, at least, the London Times has a lead
ing article, having reference to such mission.
Sufficient time has not elapsed since the date
ot our last accounts to allow ot any further ma

fairs. There are, however, accounts one day la

generally encouraging.

The news received from China by express
through Paris, and published in a second edition
of the Times, came too late in the city to have
any effect upon the stock markets, though it is
viewed as favorable.
Our ordinary monthly expresses from Mar-
Miltea in anticipation of the Overland Mail
tMlkd us last night.
ißrings intelligence from Bombay to the Ist
of November, and entirely confirms not only
the glorious news brought by the late intermedi
ate mail, but that published in our second edi
tion of Saturday.
The proceedings of the British armies in the
neighborhood of Cabul have been eminently
successful. The whole of the British prison
ers have been liberated from the hands of the
Afghans. Their number was 21 officers, 9 la
dies and 12 children, with 51 European soldiers,
2 clerks and 4 women, making in all 109 per
sons, who had suffered the horrors of captivity
from thd 10th of January to the 31st and 27th of
Sept. The meeting between the veteran Gen.
Sale and his wife and daughter is described as
highly affecting.
On the arrival of Gen. Nott's division at Ca
bul, the resolution adopted by the British Gov
ernment to destroy all the Atighan strong holds
was carried into execution. An expeditionary
corps of about 4,000 men was sent to demolish
the strong forts of Istalif and Chareekar. On
the 29th of September, General McCaskill and
Brigadiers Turlock and Stacy, who commanded
this force, were met by a strong body of Af
ghans, led on by Ameen Oola and 16 of their
most determined chiefs, who sought to delend
Istalif. This town consisted of masses of hous
es built on the slope of a mountain, in the rear
ot which were lofty eminences shutting in a de
file leading to Turkistan. Tne number of its
inhabitants exceeded 15,000, who, from their de
fences and the difficulties ot approach, consid
ered their position unassailable. The great
partof the plunder seized last January from the
British was placed there, and the Chiefs kept
•heir wives and families in it, and many also of
those who had escaped from Cabul had sought
refuge there. The British troops soon made
themselves masters of the town, driving the
enemy before them with considerable slaughter.
Two brass field pieces were taken. The lossto
the victors consisted in one officer (Lieutenant
Evans, of Her Majesty's 41st Regiment) killed,
and four wounded. The demolition of the forts
was immediately begun. The expedition, af
ter the destruction of Chareekar, was expected
to return immediately to Cabul.
The notorious Akhbar Khan was a wanderer
in Kohisti; On learning that all the prison
ers, save C. <•:. Bygrave whom he had in im
mediate attendance upon himself, had been sur
rendered to the British authorities, he came to
the resolutions to send in that officer also. Capt.
Bvgrave was allowed to Gen. Pollock’s camp on
Miking a letter from Akhbar Khan to the British
General. That letter is stated to contain an in
quire as to what the British intended to do with
his father and family. It is farther asserted that
Akhbar Khan had. lost all his influence with
the Affghans, particularly since he had refused
to place himself at their head during the battle
of Tczeen, although called upon to do so. Te
zeen was the battle fought on the 13th of Sep
tember, and which decided the fate of Cabul.
One of the duties performed by the British
was the interment of the skeletons’of those who
had fallen during the fatal retreat of January
last. The number did not exceed 400 or 500.
Several of these melancholy remains w’ere re
cognizable. It is further stated, that very many
of the native soldiers and of the Hindoos who
had accompanied the troops during the fatal re
peat, have come into the British cantonments.

Early Egyptian History.
The following sketch of a lecture upon this
interesting subject, recently delivered in Boston
by Mr. Gliddons, an oriental traveller, who
has spent twenty-three years in the vallej’ of the
Nile, is from the Boston “Bulletin.”
“The lecture was principally devoted to the
subject of Chronology, and the great difference
between long established chronologies and the
deductions made from interpretations of hiero
glyphic inscriptions and tablets in Egy pt. Thus
witn regard to the three great events mentioned
in the Bible, the Creation, the Deluge, and the
Exodus of the Israelites, there are at present in
existence three hundred different published eras,
all conflicting with each other. In consequence
of this great discrepancy, the precise time of
Mosess has never been satisfactorily defined—
nor do we find as yet among the Egyptians any
record of the Jew's, although every known le
gend has been translated. For instance, twen
ty-six several dates for the siege of Troy, hare
been at various times discovered and maintain
ed, between which is the vast difference of three
hundred and sixty-six years. Seventeen dates
have been variously asserted for the overthrow
of Nincvah, the earliest being eight hundred
and ninety-six, and the latest, five hundred and
ninety-six years before Christ.
The principal argument against the veracity
of Sacred Chronology, is the. fact, that the He
brew Bible was corrupted bytlie Jews to throw
the early prophecies concerning the Messiah out
of date.
Till the year six hundred before Christ, we
can find no record or evidence concerning earlier
history, except in the; Bible; anff'to solve the
enigmas, and to illumine the gloom in which
Egypt and her archives are wrapped, has been
the indefatigable and praise-worthy labor of
Champollion, and his succeeding hieroglyph
isls. For the few past years, in no country has
the pen been so busy as in Egypt, and discovery
after discovery are amply repaying the labor and
the difficulty. It is true that the legends of
Egypt are liable to misinterpretation, but they
are certainly more worthy of credence than Bi
blical authority, for in the one case, we may con
sult the original, and in the other, we cannot.
In regard to ail the various chronological ta
bles now extant, Mr. Gliddon gave a decided
preference to that of Septuagent, which was
compiled by order of Ptolemy, by seventy learn
ed men, two hundred and lofty years before the
Christian era, and originally inscribed on parch
mentand in letters of gold. Concerning tne va
rying accounts of the great number of histori
ans, who have from time to time written upon
early Egypt, but few arc entitled to credit; but
the works of Herodotus and Diodorous, partic
ularly came in direct conflict with hieroglyphic
records. And it is no matter of wonder, for
these persons tarried but a short time in Egypt,
and then their principa 1 information was gleaned
from low bred menials, the wonder aud splendor
of whose statements, sometimes depended upon
the credulity of their hearers, or upon the amount
of remuneration for their trouble.”
The St; Louis Era publishes the following
letter from a farmer in a neighboring county,
which shows how effectually the hard money
system is working in Missouri:
“If I send my corn to the market, sir, it will
not nett me over 8 cents a bushel, and possibly
not that. If hay, it will not much more than
pay for the hauling, and so of other commodi
ties. Potatoes have been sold under the ham
mer for 30 cents a barrel, barrel and all. Now,
sir, supposing me to owe you sls, and I should
undertake to pay it by sluff from my farm:—
How much com will it take,} Ans. 187 J bush
els. How many potatoes 1 Ans. 50 bands—
or, rather, 126 bushels potatoes, and 50 barrels
to hold them. Mr. Editor, I can’t afford this,
and you must hold olftill your old friend gets in
funds.”
Awful Epidemic.—We regret to learn that
the town of Day, in this county, is afflicted with
a terrible epidemic, (the black tongue,) which
had at the last accounts, deceased some twenty
or thirty of the inhabitants, and was still raging
with fearful fatality. Eliphas M. Day, Super
visor of that town, together with three or four
members of his family, report says, are among
the victims of this dreadful malady. Further
than this, wc have not learned.— Saratoga Senti

New Microscope.—The celebrated optician,
Mr. Carey of London, ha. recently constructed
for the Polytechnic Institution, a new oxy
hydrogen microscojie of immense power. The
vast improvement which has been eifected in this
singularly-interesting scientific instrument may
be estimated, when it is known that formerly the
utmost power of microscopes did not magnify
objects more than lour or five thousand times,
whereas the microscope in question consists of
six powers, increasing from one hundred and
thirty times io sell nlyfour millions of times. The
application ofthe oxy-hydrogen light, which
is now too generally known to require descrip
tion, produces an intensely brilliant flood of rays
upon a disc twcnty-seve» teet in diainater. Up
on tins disc the minutest objects are magnified
.to a monstrous size. The eyes of a common
housc-flv, which a pin’s point would cover, is
so magnified as to cover the entire disc, its seven
hundred and fifty tenses appearing like the regu
lar spots in a large carpet hung against the wall.
The wings of loeusr;. the sting of the common

Ambition.—l cannot be
The meek and gentle thing that thou wouldst have me.
The. wren is happy on its humble spray:
But the fierce eagle revels in the storm,
Terror and tempest darken in his path;
He gambols mid the thunder; mocks the bolt
That flashes by his red, unshrinking eye ?
And, sternly ioyful, screams amid tne din;
Then shake the torrent from his vigorous wing.
And soars above the storm, and looks and laughs,
Down nn its struggling terrors. Safety still
Rewards ignoble ease. Be mine the storm!

With beaming sun ana azure sky;
Rich in varieties of song,
And Howers that lure the butterfly;
Yet it has not the heartfelt mirth,
Which flows around the Winter Hearth.

That tempt the truant heart to roam,
But its chill breath the dream destroys.
And turns it back again to home.
There are no dearer ties on earth,

There, kindled souls are glowing near,
And kindred smiles are fondly given,
They seen! so bright when all is drear,
They raise the grateful heart to Heaven;
And holy is the simple mirth,

Oh! land of beauty—sun-lit Italy!
How often do I fondly think of thee,
And of the days gone by—
Then, then, art still the same—the gay —the bright—
Fair Nature sheds o’er thee a lasting light,
But changed, alas! am I; —
For busy’ care hath put youth’s kindling joys m flight.
And the companions of my youthful dayt
They, too, like me, are chang’d, or pass’d away—
Gone, like a summer’s brsath.
The teeming mind’s worn out—its fervor cold—
And bounding youth is hoarv grown and old,
Or wrapt in chilly death!
1 nave departed hence, like a tale that’s told.
Still, in mv waningyears, I’ll think of thee,
Sweet land, where Music, Love and Poetry,
Have fix’d their common throne;
Thy dear remembrance sheds a ray serene
Over the clouded heart the well known scene,
Os early pleasures flown,
Return again, and make e’en wintry memory green?

The Massacre of Bloody Brook.—The
parish of South Deerfield is situated just at the
entrance of the Pocumtock, or Deerfield valley,
at the northern base of Sugar Loaf mountain,
the cone of which, composed of red sandstone,
rises to the heightli of six hundred and fifty feet,
cutting off the prospect towards the east. The
inconsiderable stream called Bloody Brook
Hows sluggishly thro’ the village, escaping to
the river around the southern base of the Sugar
Loaf It was here that the cruel massacre of
Captain Lathrop and ninety colonists, by the
Indians took place on the 18th of September,
1675. The victims of that awful tragedy were
taken by surprise. Capt. Lathrop and his com
mand of 88 men had been with a party of team
sters to the Pocumtuck flats to bring the wheat
recently harvested and stacked in the fields by
the people of Deerfield, who immediately after
wards had been driven by the Indians down to
Hatfield, where there was a small garrison. Ar
riving at the brook which they that day baptised
with blood, in the middle of a bright afternoon,
they stopped to refresh. The forest trees were
covered with gi’ape vines to the tops, and the
vines were loaded with clusters us ripened
grapes, large and rich to behold. The tempta
tion was too great for resistance. Not dreaming
that the savage foe was even at that moment
lurking within bow shot to take advantage of
the least incaution; soldiers and teamsters alike
dropped their weapons, and sprang open the
trees to pluck the luscious fruit. In a moment
the wild war-whoop rang through the forest, fol
lowed by a heavy rattle of musketry, which
brought many of the party dead and wounded
to the earth at the first fire. The scene that fol
lowed was appalling:
“ Instant through hill and copse arobC
Plumes and spears and bended bows :
On right and left, above, below,
Sprang up, at once, the lurking foe.
From shlagles gray their lances start;
The bracken-bush sent forth the dart:
The rushes and the willow wand,
Bristled with tomahawk and brand ;
And every tuft of broom gave life.
To painted warrior armed for strife.”
But though ambuscaded and surprised by a
force so vastly superior in numbers, and taken
at such disadvantage, Lathrop’s men were not
defeated without a struggle—fierce—hand to
hand. Ninety of the colonists, including four
teen of the teamsters, were killed; only seven or
eight escaped—all the wounded being massacred
by the Indians on the termination of the unequal
contest. Before the savages had quite comple
ted their butcheries, however, the fortunes of
the day were changed by the timely arrival of
Captain Moseley, from Hadley, who, hearing
the firing, marched his forces with all possible
celerity from the garrison to the field of action.
The Indians in turn were surprised while strip
ping the slain, and a deadly and well directed
fire caused a suspension of that part of their
work. Moseley was, in a few minutes after
wards, reinforced by Major Treat, from Con
necticut, with a body of one hundred men, in
cluding a number of Pequod and Mohegan In
dians, who had arrived at the adjacent town of
Northfield, on the morning of that day, and who
had also been attracted to the field of blood by
the firing.
Before these, combined forces lite Indians
were compelled to flee, leaving ninety-six of
their warriors dead. The story of this tragedy
has gathered interest in the neighborhood with
the lapse of years. About forty years after the
event, a rude monumental slab was erected to
the memory of Lathrop and his fellow victims;
and the different owners and occupants of the
land had caused the tablet to be removed so ma
ny times that there, was danger that the place of
sepulture would be lost. A search being made
in 1835, the remains were found and a celebra
tion was had. A new monument was erected,
which was completed in 1838. It is of marble,
six feet square at the base, and about twenty
feet in height.
The loss ot Mosely and Treat was very tri
fling. At the close of the fight they marched
north to Deerfield for the night—returning to the
battle-field on the following day to bury the dead.
On that day, also, the Indians showed themselves
on the western side of the Pocumtuck river, dis
played the garments they had taken from La
throp’s men byway of bravado. But they did
not renew the attack.— Col. Stone’s Historical
Tour. ■
Gallantry.—Col. R. M. Johnson, ina recent
speech, says, “I will stand by the men when
they are right, but I will stand by the women
right or wrong,” That’s right, Colonel.
Original Letter from Sir Walter Scott.
—ln the agreeable pages ofthe “Editor’s Table,”
in the January number of the Knickerbocker, we
find an original letter from Scott, dated “Abbots
ford, 2d April, 1842.” It was addressed to a

writer a copy ofthe “History of New York,”
by Irving. The letter is as follows—My Dear
Silt I beg you to accept my best thanks for the
uncommon degree of entertainment which 1 have
received from the most excellently jocose his
tory of New York. lam sensible that as a
stranger to American parties and politics, I must
lose much of the concealed satire of the piece :
but I must own that looking at the simple and
obvious meaning only, I have never read any
thing so closely resembling the style of Dean
Swift as the annals of Diedrich Knickerbocker.
I have been employed these fexv evenings in
reading them aloud to Mrs. Scott andtwo ladies
who are guests, and our sides have been al>
solutciy sore with laughing. [ think, too, there
are passages which indicate ‘ that the author
possesses powers ot a ditierent kind, and has
some touches which remind me much ofSteine.
I beg you will have the kindness to let me know
when Mr. Irving takes pen in hand again, for
assuredly I shall expect a very great treat, which
I may chance never to hear of, hut through vour
kindness. Believe me, dear Sir.

The Bankrupt Law Nullified without
Ceremony.-Tlic Justices ofthe Peace in Logan
county, Va., being 12 in number, held ameeting
recently at which they resolved that they will pay
no attention to the Bankrupt Law, so far as re
gards voluntary bankruptcy, but “in the per
formance of their duties as magistrates, will con
tinue to give judgements and executions as if the
law had never passed, being satisfied that it is

r A French Tailor's Dhbct. -An ambitious
knight ofthe needle, who was endowed by na
; ture with “a soul above buttons,” determined
once that he would incontinently go upon the
t stage. “All the world’s a stage,” and conse
quently all men are actors, so why hasn’t a
1 French tailor’just as much right to sport the !
, buskin as any other gentleman of exalted ideas?
The gorgeous butteiflv is but a crawling worm
until its variegated wings expand, and why may J
not our intellectual spirits of the earth toil in "
lowly obscurity as tailors and cobblers before .
the living spark within them kindles and bursts
forth in its destined blaze of splendor?
Now, to sustain as far as possible the dignity
of our hero, we may remark that should even 4
' the Talma start into reviviscence to strut upon
American boards, delivering Shaksperean
blank verse in broken English, it is altogether
probable his enactment of tragedy would be a
very merry affair. An actor may conceive a 1
part well, and “conception is a blessing,” but
to embody and develops are two other shoes, as
maybe said in Macadamised French. Some
times a very sensible reader may be utterly at
fault in manner and execution, though, indeed,
many actors are better at execution than any 2
thing else. It is not wonderful, then, that a tai
lor, or any other aspiring craftsman, might lie
exceadingly amusing in the character of Ham
let, and yei be a man of parts not to be laughed
at.
Hamlet was the character chosen by the new
tragedian for his debut, and in due time he com
menced his preliminary rehearsals with the •’
company. Actors are very great rogues.—
There was scarcely a lady or gentleman on the
stage but advised the tailor to cut out some cer
tain passage from his part, and when he arrived
at the well-known words—•
“When he himself may his quietus make 4
With a bare bodkin !"
every soul in the company assured him that
needle made the proper reading! His recitation
of this great soliloquy at rehearsal produced a
most exquisite half hour’s fun among the wags
of players, and it ran somewhat in this fashion:
To be, or no to be—dat is one question;— I
• Wethair 'tis most good for still to oaufi-ir
De arrows from d« slings of Malheur fortune, 1
Or take one sen of trouble in our arms,
And by oppose to make finish of all.
To die ;—yes, go to sleep
Aha 1 yes, very good—to sleep away
De headache and de too sand- -
Here the stage manager ventured to inquire '
whether the author did not mean heart-ache in
stead of head-ache, but Monsieur le Failleur read
ily explained, that, as Hamlet has just been al
luding to his sufferings of mind, he must mean
head, and the printer no doubt made the mistake.
So the tragedian wetAn:
The head-ache, and the tousan’ natural knocks
Dat we have got to come to.— Ah, mon Dieu I ‘ ~
It is to be pray for. To die; —yes, go to sleep ; ,!
Ha! vot suppose I dream? yes, dat’a de scratch. J
Ah ha 1 de midnight monster reverie,
Dat come ven we ’ave shovel’d off our life,
To shake »ur paws! Dat is wot make
Some people live so long, and no like to die,
I vould rather be bullfrog, and go Kchung ' —
[Ah, no, I am wrong, 1 have got mix in Othel
lo. Pardon— excuse me.)
The prompter set him right, and he went on, 4
but soon got utterly confused:
Who would bear to be whip wid thorns—
[No, I am go wrong and forget.]
For who would bear—yes—to groan,
And get in perspiration—
[l do not like dat word sweat —somebody tell
me it is no ywlite.] j
To get in perspiration—yec — —1
Wen he may make heself very much quiet ?
Vith one leetle bodkin ?
Here he was told to say needle; he seemed to
dislike both words, and concluded to use jack- '
knife on his own hook.
In this way he amused the whole company A
during his rehearsals, and ot course the whole .
audience on the evening of his debut. Never
was there an assembly so delighted in a theatre
as was the one that witnessed the French tai lot ’s
debut in Hamlet 1 And never was there such a 1
“done over tailor," so completely s ored up, as
was our poor hero on the night of his first ap- 1
pearance on any stage !—Phuw?ic. ‘
Reduction or Salaries in Alabama. — '
Within the last twodays, a bill has passed both
blanches of the Legislature, teducingthe salary’
of the Governor from $3 560 to $2,500; that of

to $2,250 each, to include the labor of reporting ,
their decisions; the salaries ofthe Circuit. Judg- .

Another Steamboat .Shagged.—We are in- ;
formed that while the steamer Oconee, which 1
took on board a considerable quantity of cotton 1
from this place last week, was descending the
river, ran upon a snag and received some inju- ,
ry. The cotton on Ixiard, with the exception of
that in the hold, was thrown overboard, and,
consequently, will be mote or less damaged.— ■
We regret this accident, more particularly, as
one lot ol this cotton was intended fur the in
spection of the Apalachicola Premium Com
mittee. — Fort Gairws Moderator of the \Oth.
A Late Hour.—An intoxicated gentlemen
who was imprudently exposing himself to the
probabilty of a severe cold by lying on a turnpike
road with the gate open, hearingthe village bells
ring for fire, counted “11, 12, 13,14, 15,” when
he exclaimed, “d—me if it isn’t later than I ever
knew it!”
Newspapers,
Much depends on the supporters ofa news,
paper whether it is conducted with spirit or in
terest; if they are negligent in their payment,
the Editor’s ambition is broken down—he works
‘ at a thankless and unprofitable task; he becomes
■ discouraged and careless—his paper looses its
' pith and interest, it dies. But 011 the contrary,
if his subscribers are of the right sort ; if they
' are punctual, liberal hearted fellows; always in
advance in the subscription list—taking ait in
terest in increasing the number of his subscri
bers; now and then speaking a good word for
. his paper; cheering him in his course by smiles
of approbation; with such subscribers as these,
; one would forswear comfort, ease, leisure—
‘ every thing that could possibly step between him
■ and gratification of every laudible desire 011 the
I part of his subscribers: the editor would know
no other pleasure tlyan their satisfaction.—How
r much then can the supporters of a newspaper
’ do to make it interesting and respectable, iu
’ deed, without concurrent efforts on their part,
the publisher ol a paper will not, cannot bestow
the attention whlclt is necessary to make it what
it should be.
’ Perhaps our readers may have policed that
some times we make a much better paper than
we can make at other times. And what is tlie
?. reason ! Why’ because sometimes we are en
couraged to do it. Some one pays us his sub
scription in advance, and perhaps brings or sends
J us a few subscribers, 7*That't> the secret; that is
' the true way to support a newspaper.
I More of the Grizzles.—Everybody remetn
’ bers the story about Widow Grizzle, her drown
p ed husband and setting the body for eels, that
, went the rounds ofthe newspapers three or four
’ months since. We now learn from the Boston
Post that Mrs. Grizzle had an only sister; that
’ sister is now a widow also; her lord died lately ot
] the colic. In the midst of his most acute bodily
pain, after the hand ot death had touched him,
and whjle writhing in agony, his gentle wife
I said to him; “Well Mr. Scitlook, you needn’t
. kick round so and wear the sheets all out, ifyott
are adying!”
’ Sebmon for Oldjßachblors.—The Hartford
Mirror contains a lay sermon for the special ben-
I efit ofthe Bachelor’s Club, founded on the fol
l lowing text
And they called Rebecca and said unto hgr. wilt
thou go with this man, and she said I will go.”—
t Genesis 34:5,8.
1 In those times, ceremony, formality, and sen
-1 timent were altogether unknown. Rebecca was
a good girl, and jumped at the first good oflet.
We would have picked out a better to preach
before the honoraale and venerable fraternity,
> viz:
• “Jucob kissed Rachael.”
That is something substantial for bachelors to
r say grace over; the other text was for the bene
’ fit of Rebecca altogether.
“Jacob kissed Rachael,
I’ And lilted up Li» voice and wept.”
How pathetic I The fael is time and the sash
; ions make strange inroads upon poor human na-
■ ture. Here was Jacob scouring the country to
1 look for a wife, and on a fine sunny day, in the
1 valley of Padanarara, he saw her at a distance,
■ drawing water from a well, being barefooted; and
1 without ceremony he ran towards her, and in the
•' language of the Good Book, “kissed her, and
1 lifted up his voice and wept.” We have no ac
count that Rachael boxed his ears for his rude-
1 ness, as in these days of simplicity and innocence
5 she would have done, particularly in -good socie-
- ty."
1 Old Timcs.—ln 1627, there were bin rhirty
s seven ploughs in all Massachusetts, and the use
' of these agricultural implements was not tami
‘ liar to all the planters. From the annals of
1 Salem, it appears in that year it was agreed by
‘ thetown to grant Richardson Hutchinson twenty
1 acres of land in addition to his share, on condi
tion “he get up ploughing.”
1643. The court order, that at the election of
assistant, four Indian beans should be used in
stead of paper, the white to be the affirmative,
r and the black negative.
1 1647. The court order t hat if any young man
r attempt to address a young woman without the
; consent ofher parents, or in the case of their ab-
- seace ofthe County Court, he shall be fined
-for the first offence, XlO for the second, and be
- imprisoned for the third.
s 16|9- Matthew Stanly was tried for drawing
s in the affeciiops of John Tarbox’.-; daughter
5 without the consent of her parents: convicted,
1 and fined Xs—fees, 2s 6d. Three married wo-
- men were fined 5s each for scolding.

great boots, but was acquitted.— National rEgis.

Washington Albton—Dr. Pope recently
delivered a lecture before the St. Louis Lyceum
on Painting and Sculpture. The Organ thus
notices Alston, bi-caqse tig- lecture. l ; did not al
lude to him. “We are sorrtv to hear ng men
tion in this canueelion of ly'ashingstvu .jlston,
who has been pronounced by an able judge in
these matters, the jirst Hiring artist. In the his
tory of theartj. his name has sited rare lustre
upon South Carolina, the State of his birth, and
Massachusetts the one of his adaption. Verging
towards three-score, he has been engaged tor
fifteen or twenty years upon a single picture,
“Belshazzar’s Feast,” which will rover an im
mense surface, and which, if ever completed,
his friends believe w ill exalt him totberank
of the greatest painters of past time. But if
never completed, he w ill leave works already
finished, which will establish his claim to be
called the greatest historical painter since West.
Alston is a go-si example to show, that our
country can prolit' e artists of the highest order
without the patronage of the g- ne'al govern
ment.

The Sibt ith.—Bnt blessings and ten thous
and blessing be upon that day, and let myriads
of thanks stream up to the throne of God for his
divine and regenerating gift to man! As I have
sat in some flowery dale, with the sweetness of
May around me, on a week-day, I hare thought
of the millions of immortal creatures, toiling
far their daily life in factories and shops, amid
the whirl of machinery and Ihe greedy craving
of gain, and suddenly, that gulden interval of
time has laid before me in its brightness—a
time, and a perpetually recurring time, in which
the iron grasp of earthlv tyranny is loosed, and
Peace, Faith and Freedom, the angqlsof God,
come down and walk amopg men. Ten thous
and blessings on this day—the friend of man and
beast I The bigot would rob it of its healthful
freedom, oil the one hand, and coop man up in
his dungeons, and cause i>tm to walk with down
cast eves and demure steps; apd the libertine
would desecrate all its sober decorum on the
other —God and the sound heart and sterling
sense of our countrymen preserve it from both
of these evils.— Howitt.
From the N. O. 'Tropic qf the 10dt Jan.
I,ale from Yucatan.
By the schooner Freeland, Capt. Smith, from
Campeachy, we have new sto the 3d inst. The
Freeland came out in spite of the Mexican
blockade, and escaped unhurt. We have in
our possession the fragment of a bomb, weigh
ing about four pounds, which tell upon the Free
land’s deck. It is capital “head-ache timber,”
but luckily it came in contact with no heads,
otherwise there might have been a “coolness”
created.
The fighting is going on constantly, but thus
far the advantages are decidedly in favor of the
Yucatecos. They are defending their “altars
and their homes” in gallant style. In every en
counter the Mexicans are repulsed; besides,
their men are dying daily of the yellow fever,
and those who do not die are constantly desert
ing. The Yucatecos are in fine spirits, deter
mined to light while they have a man able to
pull the trigger. We think the Mexicans will
find this a hard bargain, and retire in disgust.
The following translations from Campeachy
papers will be found interesting.
The “Independiente” newspaper, under date
of December 27, says:
“On Sunday morning last, Brigadier General
Santiago Iman entered Merida with a column
of 500 men from the eastward, all volunteers,
the majority of them veteran soldiers, who bum
with a desire to encounter the enemies of the
liberty and rights of Yucatan. Upwards of
2000 volunteers had presented themselves to this
General, but it was impossible to accept the ser
vices of all of them, as he had received orders
to return with the number already composing
the column.”
The “Boletin del Espiritu del Siglo,” under
date of Dec. 31, says:
‘Yesterday evening, in spile of the efforts of
the hostile fleet, an American brig from Boston,
entered our port, having on board, among other
useful articles, a large quantity of flour. The
blockade ■will not kill us by hunger.”
The same paper, of the”2Bth Dec., speaks of
the bombardment in the following manner:
“The grape shot are flying continually, and
considering the lavish hand with which they are
showered down upon us, there cannot be many
more letl. This will be much regretted by our
men, oa account of the gusto u ith which they
have enjoyed the sport. Thus far, thank God,
the only damages sustained, has been by our ed
ifices, which can be easily repaired."
Very earl}’ on the morning of the 27th Dec.,
before daylight, a party of Mexicans attempted
to force their way into Campeachv through the
suburb San Roman, but they were gallantly re
pulsed, several of them being slain, and many
muskets and implements of war captured.
Desertions still continue from the Mexican
army to the forces of the Yucatecos.
We havereceived a document,printed in Span
ish and signed by a large number of names, da
ted “Campeachy, Dec. 5, 1812,” inviting “all
unfortunate Mexicans, oppressed by the despot
ism of Gen. Minon, who led them against 5 uc
atan to perish miserably by the rigor of the cli
mate and the invincible swords of the brave men
who battle for the righteous cause of their na
tive land, to forsake their hateful and tyranni
cal banner—to come like friends and brothers
among a hospitable people, by whom they will
be received with open arms, and where they
will enjoy peace, liberty and plenty.”
A New Bonnet.—The Picayune says “Kiss
me quick,” is the name of a very pretty and a
very inviting bonnet, just introduced into the
fashionable world of Williamsport, Pa. It is
said that the gentlemen find them very conve
nient, and the ladies the most exquisite bonnet
that has been worn for years. Shouldn't won
der!
Straps.—Dr. Smith, of the Medical and Sur
gical Journal, says:—“These tight straps under
the feet, when the leg is flexed, press the knee
pan so forcibly into the cavity of the joint that
it is by no means strange there are numerous
’complaints of weak knees, rheumatic pains and
soreness of the muscles.” The girls will have
to wage war against pantaloon straps, in retalia
tion for the corset crusade.
Slaver Captured.—A Portuguese schooner
with about 509 slaves on board, was earned into
Sierra Leone, November 3d, by a British cruizer.

AUGUSTA MARKET.
Monday Evening, January 16.
Cotion.— Our stock of Cotton is daily increasing
by heavy arrivals by the rah road, the river and
by wagon?, and is not much decreafifd by ship
ments, as but little is -nld. Our market is in
quite a dull state, and pricesare hut a shade high
er than they were previous to the Chinese new®.
We quote the following as the going rates: infe
rior to ordinary 4j a 4j; middling to middling fair
5 a s|; fair to good fair 5j a 6J; choice 6| a 7 cts.
Money— We have no change to notice in Ex
change?. Central Bank notes are in little better
demand. A large amount was bought on Satur
day at 36 a37 J per cent discount. A sale of about
12000 in State 6 percent Stocks was mqtte at
from 42 to 43 c< n(s.
Havre, December R?
Colton— The universal excitement produced on
the other side of the Channel, by the accounts of
the favorable termination of the war with China,
having begun to subside, although they have
since been fully confirmed, and the sudden im
pulse imparted by the expectation of a speedy re
turn to prosperity in business generally, having
in some degree died away, all traces of the anima
tion that was created in our market, which had
partaken of the improved feeling, have entirety
disappeared, and the transactions during the past
week have fallen tar short of those wh|ch had
previously taken place. Tty* buying throughout
has been on a very rcstijcted scaled scale, with
not th° slightest symptom of speculative spirit
apparent, and holders who had before maintained
a firm attitude, and rather evinced a disposition
to raise their pretensions, are now willing sellers
at current rates. This decrease in the demand,
almost as unlooked for as the revival that had so
unexpectedly sprung up, has nevertheless caused
no alteration k in paces, whtyh are however but
feebly supported, and Uy? aspect of thjngs upon
the whole cannot be considered as discouraging.
Our Jaiejjt advjces front the United States, which
are to 17th uh., by the steamer via England, state
that|the weather has been propitious to the new
crop, and the anticipations held our of an abund
ant production, tend in some nieasuie to check
ufH-iations to an> large extent; but tbw l>eing as
yet partly conjectural, is not like materially tu af
fect our market which i* more Immediately in
fluenced by the fluctuations in Liverpool' and
Manchester.
Haver, December 8.
The advices frty.t your side, announcing a con
tinuation of favorable weather for the cotton
crop, have had a bad effect on our market and
counterbalanced the good news from China and
India.
Holders *hov» themselves desirous to sell and
buyers remain timid, so that nansaetion- are biq.
limited, notwithstanding prices receded to
their former point, for low and middling qualities.
Good qualities ‘ are |qv<yr ewn. partleuiaily for
Georgia of which some cargoes oi' the new crop
are landed, and we shall no doubt have a proper*
tionatu decline for Louisiana? when one or two
ships now in port have finished unloading.
The sales since the Ist inst. up to yesterday in
clusively, amount to 4000 bags. The arrivals be
ing the same, our stock remains ro 131,00bhags.
Wi’h the prqapve* of a < rop of tv.o millions of
bales, and the low prices on your side, we do not
iiiee the probability of ourpti es remaining even
at their present level.
At Liverpool the demand continues active ar

Havre, December 8.
The demand for Cotton has ermtinued pretty
regular since our lasi advices; but towards the
end of last week, the prices were slacker, buyers
having availed of some disposition shown on the
part of holders to realize, in order to obtain better
bargains—to-day, however, the market is again
firmer, in consequence of continued good ac
counts from Liverpool.
Liverpool, December 5.
Cotton.— On Saturday the sales were very’large,
amounting to 10,000 bales, of which speculators
took 3000 bales. To-day the market has been
rather quiet, not more than 4000 bales having been
sold. The buyer has a greater choice of cotton,
hut there is no change to notice in the prices of
any description.
Liverpool, December 7.
The sales on Thursday last were 7000 bales,
(4000 taken on speculation); Friday 8000, (3500
on speculation); Saturday 10,000, 3500 on specu
lation) ; Monday 4000; Tuesday 25(X), and to-day
3000. The demand during the last few days has
fallen off very considerably, and there is less ani
mation in the market. In prices, however, Fri
day's rates have been steadily maintained, gene
rally; East India may be obtained perhaps a shade
lower. The import of the week amounts to 22,403
bales.
N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
Livebpool, December 7.
The cotton market is very quiet this week, and
prices are barely supported, with moderate arri
vals.

The anhnatod deitand noticed last week con
tinued at the opening of the market, and ordinary
to fair American brought an advance of fd per lb;
but since the arrival of the American steamers,
with accounts of the probability of the crop of
cotton excei’ding the estimate previously formed,
holdershave become more anxious to realise, and
the improvement has not been sustained. The
business of the week, however, has been large,
amounting to 17.050 bales, (of which 13,600 A

100 Surat for export,) and comprise 410 Sea Is

Cotton — A moderate business has been done in
Upland since onr last. At the close of the last,
and in the ea r ly part of the present week, there
was a good attendance of buyers, and the quota
tions given in our review of the 7th inst. were
well maintained; but for the past two days the
market has been rather quiet, some having refused
to operate at present prices; such orders, howev
er, as have been execui<t, have been at the cu-J
rent rates paid in the early part of the week.
The receipts are 10,153 bags, and the sales in the
same time 7748 bags, as follows:—10 al 5; 72 at

J?ire —The transactions in this article since uur

ket very unsettled; the operations however have
generally been in favor of the buyer. The re
ceipts of the week are 247.5 tierces, and the sales
in the same time 1598 tierces, at the following
prices, viz: 37 at 1|; 124 at I|| 80 at 1 15-16; 263

pressed state. The stock has been considerably
augmented since our last. We have heard of no
sales beyond limited transactions f6r city con
sumption. We have for the present erased quo

Bacon— The transactions in Bacon continue
very limited. Wc heard of the sale of a email lot
of Baltimore new sides from the wharf at 6; a lot
Western was received this week, very little of
which has changed hands.
l<ard We are without any transactions to re
port.
Salt Several lots changed hands from on ship
board in the early pan of the week, nt prices rang
ing from 135 to 140. There is none now afloat,
and we have for the present erased quotations.—
The receipts of the week are 11,140 bushels from
St. Übes, which have not yet been sold.
Sun an— The receipts of the week have been
706 hhds Louisiana, a small portion of which has
changed hands at prices ranging from 4f to 5} per
lb., and a store lot 4f. We have no sales in any
other description to report.
Coffee --There has been some inquiry for Cuba
and Rio- -but the transactions have heeneonfjned
to small lots from second hands, for the country
trade, and for city consumption.
Mnlassts —Th* receipts of the week have been
20 tierc* * and 1909 bbls coastwise. There has
been some inquiry for New Orh ans, and about
1000 bbls have changed hands. We quote 18 cts
as a fair criterion of the market. A small lot Cu
ba from store brought 17 cents per gallon.
Frcighto -To Liverpool |d a 11-lh for cotton in

bales Svh Island; leaving on hand, inclusive of

stock of 30,279 hales Upland, and 1060 bales Sea
Island cotton, against 13,398 bales’Upland and
1578 bah •> Sea Island, at the same period last
year.
The transactions of the week were moderate in
conseqiu ncc of the limited stock for sale, and the
market doaea heavily at a decline which is esti
mated by some dealers at ] cent, and may be
mainly attributed to the limited opportunities af
forded for slipping, there being at present only
two disengaged vessels in port.
The cargo of the ship Nathaniel Hooper, far
Liverpool, is not included in our estimate of ex
ports; as the report was received after closing our
