THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 1.
The June Convention.
The spirit manifested by the Whigs through
out the State, in the appointment of delegates to
the Gubernatorial Convention, is nighly C9lll
- mendable, and augurs well for the success of
our cause. We are much pleased, too, to sea
that in almost every county, the most discreet,
able, and influential men, have been placed in
nomination; and, we may safely infer, that no
similar body in Georgia has ever embodied
more talent than will this Convention. Thus
constituted, the Convention will assemble un
der the most favorable auspices lor good; and
we know too well the spirit which will animate
such a Ixdy of intelligent and high-minded
Whigs, to doubt that their deliberations will be
characterised by wisdom, moderation, and a
most earnest desire to secure the zealous co-op
eration of every true Whig throughout Georgia,
for the support of the nomination. We have,
on a former occasion, expressed our views of
the duties which every member of that Conven
tion should feel bound, by the highest obliga
tions to his country, his principles and himself,
to observe, and we sincerely hope they may not.
have passed unobserved or unheeded. This is
an important crisis to the Whigs of Georgia,
and it would, therefore, be highly impolitic 16r
members to suffer themselves influenced in their
action by personal considerationsofany charac
ter whatever. But one feeling should animate
the bosom of every delegate, and that should be
to select the strongest candidate, be he whom he
may, without regard to his location in this or
that section of the State. Certainly, we need
not add another word on a subject, with the du
ties and responsibilities of which, all who will
be called on to act upon it, are so familiar. Let
us, then, conclude with an earnest appeal to the
Whigs of Georgia, to act worthy of themselves,
their cause and the great principles at stake in
this momentous contest, —select a standard bear
er equal to the emergency, and victory will
again crown your efforts.
Escape of Couvlets.
From a hand-bill of C. H. Nelson, Principal
Keeper, we perceive that ten convicts escaped
from the Penitentiary in Milledgevile on the
evening of the 29th ult.,—for which a reward of
five hundred dollars is offered, or fifty dollars for
either of them. We did not learn by what
means they effected their escape—their names
John Rambo or Fambro, Enoch Nichols, Ja
cob .Tipton, Daniel Graham, John Frances,
George W. Crowder, Calvin Stewart, Philip
Lee, James Ward, Thomas Wilson.
Boat Snagged.
We have omitted to notice before, because we
. had not obtained authentic information, thatthe
steamer St. John was snagged a few miles be
low this city on her passage down, with a cargo
of 3000 bushels of Corn. The Com will be a
total loss on the Insurance office, but we learn
that the injury sustained by the boat will be ea
sily repaired.

A voice from Murray.
At a recent meeting of the Whigs of Murray
county, convened for the purpose of appointing
delegates to the June Convention, the follow
ing, among other resolutions, was adopted:
Resolved, That whilst we entertain a decided
preference for the Hon. George W. Craw ford,
* and would, bv all commendable means, endea
vor Co cause him to be chosen as the candidate
of our party, we will, nevertheless, retrain from
giving any specific instructions to our delegates,
as to the individual for whose nomination they
shall vole; and leave them to the exercise of a
sound judgment and discretion, after their arri
* val at the Convention.

Destructive Fire in Tallahassee.
It is with feelings of pain; we announce this
morning the destruction oi another city by fire.
It is but a short time since we recorded the seri
ous conflagration, by which a sarge portion of
Wilmington was destroyed. By the following
letter received last evening by Mr. Schley, from
the Post Master at Tallahassee, it will be seen
that that city has also been laid in ashes:
Post Office, Tallahassee, Flor. _ 1
Thursday Evening, May 25M, 1843, J
S| R: —A conflagration commenced in this
place at abcuit 4 o’clock this evening, and al this
present writing, (9 o’clock,) the greater part of
the town is in ruins.
Every business bouse in the place has been
destroyed, and with them the Post Office. I
succeeded in saving the .contents of the office,
but every thing is in such a state of confusion,
that it is impossible to assort the mail that should
leave on to-morrow morning. The fire is now
apparently subdued, or rather has exhausted it
self by the destruction of every thing it could
reach, and no danger of its spreading further is
apprehended.
If suitable accomodations .can be obtained a
mail will be despatched on Sunday morning.
Your obedient servant,
MILES NASH, P. M.
We have been favorer! by Wm. Daggett,
Esq., who arrived in town last evening from
Tallahassee, with some further particulars
which we annex. The fire was first discovered
in the back buildings of the Washington Hall,
which was burnt. This building was situated
near the capital, and the fire extended on both
sides of Main street, to the Court House. Every
store in the city was destroyed. Os the three
printing offices one was saved—that of the Star,
the Sentinel and the Floridian offices, were burn
ed.
It is supposed that there were at least two hun
dred and fitiv buildings with most of their con
tents destroyed. It was impossible to save
many of the goods in the stores, the fire made
such rapid progress, and those that were saved
were mostly in a damaged state. Several buil
dings were'blown up, and two or three negroes
lost their lives.
The loss is estimated at $300,000. There
has been no rain for six weeks, in consequence
of which the buildings had become so dry that
they burned like tinder.
Breedlove, Jewell and Rynders, says the N.
Orleans Bee of the 26th in-tant, the individuals
arrested in Washington a short time since,
charged with being implicated in the robbery of
Treasury Notes from the Customhouse in New
Orleans, in July last, arrived in this city yester
day, under the charge of Capl. Harper and offi
cer Cottom, of the Second Municipality. They
are at present confined in the Baronne street
prison. We understand that a grand jury will
be immediately summoned by the U. S. Mar
shal, for the purpose of investigating the whole
affair. It should have been done some time
since, as many important witnesses have alrea
dy left the 'city.
We have since learned that the prisonerswill
be examined on Saturday, before Recorder
Baldwin.
Prentice, of the Louisville Journal, has
made a sui generis ot using up his political op
ponents. Take for instance the following exco
riating notice of a new locofoco paper:
We have received the first number of a new
daily paper published in Cincinnati. It will
be, if it lives long enough to get its eyes open,
the organ of the barn-burners. It is thoroughly
locofoco. It minces nothing in its capacious
mouth. It says one of the objects to which it
will be devnted is the "’exposure of political
falsehood.” True to this object, it exposes a
good deal of falsehood in its first number. For
instance, it says that Van Buren and Johnson
were "cheated out of their election in 1840.”
Who cheated them? The people. Does this
slanderer of the people fancy that they are so
silly as to cheat themselves! Pythagoras, an
ancient, and Thomas Carlyle, a modern philo
sopher, insist that a lie cannot live. We be
lieve them, and therefore predict a speedy ex
tinction of the small flickeringot vitality in this
Mercury.
"Jim, do you believe in ghosts ?” asked a
fellow yesterday of another, who was taking a

Repudiation in Maryland.
The Baltimore American says, a Democratic
meeting was held at Bel-Air on the 18th ult. to
consider the subject of the State’s debt. It was
addressed by William P. Maulsby and Otho
. Scott, Esqrn., both members of the Senate of
Maryland. The resolutions adopted by the
meeting are signed as a part of the proceedings,
by Alexander Norris, President, Henry Maca
fee and William L. Forwood, Vice Presidents,
and Joshua R. Nelson, Secretary.
We subjoin the following resolutions, which
were adopted on the occasion, to show to the
true friends of the commonwealth, to the uphol
ders of honor and integrity, that there is need of
earnest and determined action on their part if
they would accomplish anything in the purpose
to which they are devoted. Words and profes
sions are out of place now’ on this subject; they
will not avail to pay our debts. If the national
guarantee for State indebtedness, based on the
public lands, is desirable, it must be sought af
ter and demanded in such a manner that it can
not be withheld. We shall not stop to point
c ut the absurdities, to use no harsher term, into
which the Harford repudiators have fallen, but
submit their resolutions to our readers without
present further comment.
Whereas, the past injudicious legislation of
this State, has involved us in a debt far beyond
the ability of the people to pay, and any attempt
to coerce its payment by direct taxation, would
oppress the people beyond the power of endur
ance.
Therefore, it is resolved that the people are
unable to pay the present direct lax, as a perma
nent exaction. .
Resolved, That if the present direct tax, was
punctually paid through all future times, it
would not save the credit and honor of the State,
because the yearly interest on the public debt
is twice as much as the direct tax.
Resolved, That we now owe for interest which
is in arrear and unpaid, about one million and
a half of dollars, and that the interest which an
nually accrues, is about six hundred thousand
dollars.
Resolved, That the proceeds of the direct tax,
if this oppressive system is continued, will not,
in less (han five years, pay the interest now due,
so, that by the the time the interest now due is
paid by the present direct tax, we shall owe
three millions tor interest, which will accrue
while we are paying what we now’ owe.
Resolved, That it is manifest, that as the pre
sent direct tax only pays half the interest, the
longer the system is continued, the more we shall
be in debt.
Resolved, That the people are unable to pay,
even for a single year, a direct tax equal to the
interest on the debt, —that there is not as much
money in circulation as would pay such a tax.
R solved, That althoughevery one is in favor of
such a sale of the public works as would relieve
the people from their burdens; still the law pass
ed by the Whigs at the last session, deserves the
severest reprobation from every friend of the
people or its public creditors. The law fur
nisnes noground to hope, that any sale can be
made whereby our taxes can be lessened; on the
contrary, its only effect, if not arrested in its
execution, will be to strip the people of ev
ery portion of the works which is valua
ble, for the benefit of wealthy associations
of speculators, without diminishing in the slight
est degree, that portion of the public debt which
is now oppressing the people.
Resolved, That several of the counties have
neglected or refused to pay any direct tax, and
that all the counties ought to oppose in a con
stitutional and legal manner, the payment ofthe
same.
Resolved, That the people of this country, at
their next election, ought to express their disap
probation of this oppressive system »f exaction,
and come out openly for Repeal.
3T> The Milledgeville Journal of Tuesday
says:—Fisher Brown and John Harrison, the
two individuals alluded to by us, some weeks
since, as having been arrested for passing coun
terfeit Central Bank bills, were tried and con
victed at the last Superior Court in Sumter
county. Brown was sentenced to the Peniten
tiary for the term of seven, and Harrison for
four years.
jrV Here is a rich gem,—as beautiful as it is
true, and conveys a wholesome admonition not
to judge too harshly the failings of others.
The Heart. —The little 1 have seen of the
world, and know of the history of mankind,
teaches me to look upon the errors of others in
sorrow, not of anger. When I take the history j
of the poor heart that has sinned and suffered,
and represent to myself the struggles and tempta
tions it has passed through; the bright pulsa
tions of joy; the feverish inquietude of hope and
tear; the pressure«of want; the desertion es
friends; the scorn of the world that has little
charity; the desolation ol tlte-soul’s sanctuary,
and threatening vices within; health gone—l
would fain leave the erring soul of my fellow
man with hint :rom whose hands it came.
Money Market, week ending May 27.
The change in public feeling, which Jias been
so clearly evinced in she rapid advance that has
taken place in state stocks of all descriptions,
as well as others more local in their character,
is not unworthy of attention as connected with a
subject of deep interest to every American citi
zen. We mean the moral obligation upon the
people of the several Slates to provide lor and
pay the debts contracted by them, whether the
avails have been received in full, or the money
expended advantageously, or not.
The upward tendency of the stock market i»
still maintained, and the great abundance of
money induces a general belief that a further
advance may take place. The low rates of in
terest now prevailing are unparalleled in the
history of the country; loans are readily made
at 4 ct, and from present appearances even 3
4g ct will be submitted to before the Summer is
over. Business is less active among the mer
cantile portion ofthe community, but it is anti
cipated that the Fall transactions will be larger,
and that the dissemination ot the large amounts
of specie, now held in the Atlantic cities,
throughout the country, will induce a better
feeling and afford a good and substantial basis
for new and profitable business, both to the
banks and to individuals. The sales to-day at
the stock exchange have been to a very large
amount, and at greatly improved rates. At the
public stock exchange the sales have also been
unusually large. United States sixes for 1862
closed al 115. which is an improvement of 2 V
ct. $75,000 of this deset iption was disposed of.

Serious Steamboat Collision.
We regret to say that a serious collision took
place early yesterday morning between the
Queen and Lord Sydenham steamers, while per
lorming their usual trips between Quebec and
Montreal. The Lord Sydenham left this port
at her usual hour on Monday’ evening, carrying
the mail and a fair average of cabin and steer
age passengers. At about half past two o'clock
on the following morning, when a litlle below
Machiche, she came in contact with the Queen,
which was making the upward trip.
At the time of the collision the Lord Syden
ham was going down on the North side of the
channel, and the Queen coming up on the South.
The atmosphere was dense with fog, and the
boats were almost on board one another before
the danger was seen by either. As soon as the
pilot ol tne Lord Sydenham perceived the other
steamboat approaching, he rang the bell to stop
the engine; but too late to avoid the disaster
that followed. On the vessels coining in con
tact, (which they did immediately,) the Lord
Sydenham struck the Queen on’tne larboard
side, with such violence that she almost imme
diately went down tn 17 fee. water, her promen
ade deck being just left visible: and the com
mander of the Sydenham, who had turned to
render assistance, finding that his vessel was
sinking, was obliged to make for the shore andt
run her aground, where she now lies in 12 feet
water.
There are a great many reports abroad res
pecting lives having been lost, but we are as
sured that these are exaggerations. It is known
from the books of the Queen, which have been
saved, that no cabin passengers are missing.—
There were, we understand, about fifty in the
steerage, and of these it is hoped that all will yet
be accounted for.
The situation of the passengers in the Queen,
many of whom were below immersed in water,
was frightful in the extreme, and some conside
rable time elapsed before they were relieved by
the Lumber Merchant, which was on her way
down, and the Lady Colbome, coming up with
the mail. It wasthen found necessary to break
open the deck in order to get them out. •
From the Montreal Courier of Thursday
We hear nothing farther respecting the un
fortunate collision between the Queen and Sy
denham. The Montreal brought up the mail
yesterday morning, and left again with it last
evening. She reports that several schooners
were alongside the sunken vessels. A strong
suspicion exists in the minds of some of the
passengers that several lives have been lost, but
this cannot be ascertained till the Queen has
b*en raised.
We understand that the Queen has settled
deeper since she first went down, and that she is
now in 20 feet w-ater. The Lord Sydenham is,
of course, in a much more favorable position,
and we understand that Capt. Armstrong is of
opinion that he will have her in port in the
course of eight or ten days.
Some of the passengers on board the Queen
had a most providential escape from death.—
One lady was for half an hour with the water
to within a few inches of her mouth, expecting
every moment to be suffocated. Another fe
male, a servant girl in the employ of Henry
Pemberton, Esq., of Quebec, saved two of her
master's children by placing them on her shoul
ders, and keeping them in that position for two
hours, when an opening was made through the
upper deck. In several other instances parties
owed their lives to chances that seemed mirac
ulous.
The Man ofthe House.
The “Georgia (Rome) Courier" copies, with
our remarks, the anecdote of ofthe
Hgft.se,’’ and tells the following story, which is
too good to be lost:
A friend of ours tells the story differently.
He was passing a “clearing" in Cobb county,
and rode up to the Cabin in the centre of it to
procure some refreshments. There was con
siderable noise within, and it was not until af
ter several efforts that he made himself heard.—
At last, a little red-headed, freckle-faced, bare
footed “atom of sovereignty” presented himself
at the door apparently much excited. “Are you
the master ofthe house,” was as usual the pref
atory inquiry. “Wait there a little, stranger,
and I’ll let you know.” Our friend sat patient
ly upon his horse; the scuffling recommenced,
and after some minutes, out swaggered the lit
tle lord of creation with his arms akimbo, eve
ry movement en grand seignieur, and replied to
the question “Well, I jisi is. I've ben a settlin
that pint.” Whether this hero should occupy a
higher station in society than the ancient, nu
merous and highly intelligent classof the “hen
pecked,” the Editor of the Chronicle is in a po
sition impartially to determine.
The Seventeenth of June—Bunker Hill
—and Daniel Webster. —The N.Y. Com
mercial Advertiser says:—The anniversary of
the battle of Bunker Hill—the 17th of June —
and the commemoration on that day also of the
completion of the monument erected on that
ever memorable mound, will assemble a vast
concourse of our fellow citizens.
Since the day ofthe battle, no event will have
called together there more love of country, more
purity ol purpose. The day and the events are
of themselves always sufficient to gather there
a great multitude filled with patriotic emotion;
but this particular anniversary will be coupled
with additional interest.
Daniel Webster will be there, and will de
liver an address on the occasion. What an oc
casion! What a theme for such a man! What
spectacle can be more sublime?
Daniel Webster—standing at the base of that
finished obelisk of native granite—the lofty pin
nacle of which towers to the clouds, and whose
firm foundation rests on the identical spot whese
W arren’s blood and the blood of kindred spirits
was freely shed in defence of civil liberty, and
law’, and human freedom!
Daniel Webster, standing there, addressing
the assembled multitude around that national
rostrum!
An Irishman’s Idea of,America — Its Cli
mate, Freedom and Food.— The following good
story is told by a friend of the late Mr. Power,
in the New Mirror. The scene is laid in a New
York counting-house, on a roasting hot day in
August, the author and Power sitting together
and talking:
As we were thus passing the time, in walked
a genuine Paddy, about fifty years of age, with
out coat or waistcoat, having knee-breeches,
(his stockings hanging loosely on his legs) and
thick brogues on his feet. The perspiration ran
down his honest face as he very humbly said—
“ Will you allow a poor man to lake a sate,
tor the love of God?”
“Yes, my good fellow; sit down. What is
the matter with you?”
“Oh, sur, sure I’m roasted to death intirely in
this divil ol a climate!”
“You’re a stranger, then. Pray how long
have you been here?”
“Six weeks too long, sur. Yisterday six weeks
I landed.”
“And what do you intend to do? We can’t
help the heat, you know.”
“Why sur, that’s what brings me to yer hon
or. I see in the papers that you ha ve a ship goin’
to Belfast next week, and," with the blessin’ of
God, meselt and me ould woman, and five child
iier, will go back in her, ii yer honorable is rason
able in expinses.” ,
“Take my advice and try the country for one
year;—the heat >vill be over next month. What
on earth drives you back so speedly?”
“Oh ! sur, shure I’m returning quickly in re
gard of a great fright I took. Last Sunday morn
ing after mass at the Cathedral, I walked through
the burying ground to read the tombstones—and
I read over a thousand of them—all Irishmen—
and divil a higher than thirty years 1 saw al all
bartin’ one that was forty, and shure I’m oulder
than that meselt 1”
“Well, if you are, you need not be alarmed,
as you will never die at forty 1”
“Oh, I know that, sur; but, thank heaven, it
was not in this country I grew so ould!”
“ But, my good fellow, recollect you are now
in a free country; and, it you return to Ireland
you go back to a land of slavery.”
“A free counthry!’ exclaimed he, with deep
irony, “be me soul, you’re right! Faith, it is a
free counthry, sure enough; for if a poor man
has neither shoes nor stockings, there’s no one
to prevent him from going barefoot in the sthreets.
No divil a one 1 A free counthry— oh, isn’t it ?”
“Well,” said I, “you must at least admit that
the people here are more respectable, and better
clad and led, than the people in Ireland.”
“Is it the j.eople you’re talking about? Be
tne sowl, 1 don’t think they’re Christians at all!
Shure when I’m walking the sthreets, it I bid a
man the time of day, or say, ‘ God bless yon, 1 as
we do at home, instead of answering me with
YAc same to you,’ he just gives a nod of his head,
and says 'hunk!' Now, the divjl a bit ot meself
knows what 'hunk' manes—it aint English or
Irish, but some heathenish sound; and that’s all
I can get from them 1”
“Yeu must confess, atleast,” I rejoined, “that
the people live belter here than they do in Ire
land—they have meat three times a day, and
plenty to drink.”
“Faith, thin, if they ’have mate, haven’t they
to pay well tor it ? Mate, indeed! Shure, whin
I go to market to buy something for the wife and
childfer, may be ’tis a pair of chickens I a.r for,
and they give me two weenoy things no bigger
than an Irish lark, for which they ma te me pay
five shillings—not a mouthful apiece for us;
and thin if I pick out a head of cabbag?, they
give me one no bigger than me fist, and ax six
pence for it! Why, sur, in my farm in the
county of Meith, 1 raised cabbages! One of
them would be as big as all the books in your
office ! Divil a pot in Ireland could hould two
of them ; and 1 might hawk it through the coun
ty and wouldn’t get more than a halt-penny lor
it. And thin the pralees! Oh, murther! Shure
what they call pralees here is all leather, and
melts in your mouth; no maily taste at all! Sure
the hunger ain’t kill if we ate a pot full ; and ’tis
dying we are for want ot the natural food!’’
“And thin, sur,” added he, after a deep sigh,
“when a poor man dies here, they tell me they
charge him fifteen dollars foropening his grave!
Oh! God forgive them! —only think of my farm
where I paid four guineas an acre tint, and
there was as good a quarter ot an acre in it a
burying ground, and sure I let any man be buried
there that liked, and charged him divil a penny
at all! By my sowl, a poor man cannot afford
to die in this free country, and so I’ll go home
and lay my poor bones in ould Ireland!
“Troth, sir, it’s a strange country, and so if
your honor will only take the thrifle of money
we’ve left, and give us a ticket to the captain,
the blessings of St. Patrick be with you, and I’ll
•bgage I’ll remember you in my prayers every
day till I get home!”
He and his family actually embarked on board
the “good ship John Dickinson, Captain Baush,’
for Belfast, where they safely arrived after a pas
sage of twenty days.
CONTEMPT.
sv n. e. irllllg.
The following out-burst of mingled poetry
and philosophy, contains one of the most pro
found and invaluable lessons which man can
learn:—
I have unlearned contempt. It is the sin
That i> engendered earliest in the soul,
And doth beset it like a poison-worm,
Feeding on all its beauty. As it steals
Into the bosom, you may see the light
Os the clear, heavenly eye grow cold and dim,
And the fine upright glory of the brow
Cleud with mistrust, and the unfettered lip,
That v as as free and changeful as the wind,
Even with the sadness redolent in love,
Curled with the iciness of constant scorn,
It eats it; io the mind till it pollute.*
All its pure fountains. Feeling, reason, taste •
Breathe ui its chill corruption. Every sense
That could convey a pleasure is benumbed,
And the bright human being, that was made
Full of rich, warm affections, and with power
To look through all things lovely up to God,
Is changed into a cold and doubting friend,
With but one use for reason — to despise!
Oh ! if there is one law above the rest.
Written in wisdom—if there is a word
That I would trace as with a pen of fire
Upon the unsunn’d temper of a child—
If there is any thing that keeps the mind
Open to angel visits, and repels
The ministry of ill— 'tie human lore !
God has made nothing worthy of contempt.
The smallest pebble in the well of truth
Has its peculiar meaning, and will stand
When man’s best monuments have passed away,
The law of Heaven is love, and though its name
Has been usurped by passion, and profaned
To its unholy uses throughout all time,
Still the eternal principle is pure ;
And in these deep affections Qiat we feel
Omnipotent within us, we but see
The lavish measure in which love is given ;
And in the yearning tenderness of a child
For every bird that sings above his head,
And every creature feeding on the hills,
And every tree, and flower, and running brook,
We see how every thing was m:de to love ;
And any they err who, m a world like this,
Find any thing to hate but human pride.
THE WORLD AS IT IS.
The world is not so bad a world.
As some would like to make it;
Though whether good, or whether bad,
Depends on how we take it.
For if we scold and fret all day,
From dewy morn till even,
This world will ne’er ass ord to man
A foretaste here of heaven.
This world in truth’s as good a world
As e’er was known to any
Who have not seen another yet,
And these are very many;
And if the men. and women too,
Have plenty of employment,
Those surely must be hard to please
Who cannot find enjoyment.
This world is quite a clever world,
In rain or pleasant weather.
If people would but learn to live
In harmony together;
Nor seek to burst the kindly bond
By love and peace cemented,
And learn that best of lessons yet,
To always be centented.
Then were the world a pleasant world,
And pleasant folks were in it,
* The day would pass most pleasantly
To those who thus begin it;
And all the nameless grievances
Brought on by bon owed troubles,
Would prove, a* certainly they are,
A mass of empty bubble* 1
Rightly answered. —The N. O. Bee of
Thursday last makes the following spicy retort
upon a writer in ong ofthe papers of that city:
A writer in the Republican over the signature
of “Aberdeen,” wishes to know how this paper,
among others, can reconcile it with a proper sen
timent of what is due to a friendly and kindred
nation, to be constantly harping upon the atro
cious designs, insatiable ambition and domineer
ing spirit of England?
We answer for ourselves, that it is because
England is continually hopping upon us—that
she has away of “making tree" with her rela
tions that is not quite agreeable—that we are
gening to be too big to be spanked and put to
bed o’nights by our 'some time mother.’
“Aberdeen” thinks that it is sheer Christian
good nature in British subjects that induces
them to patronise papers that speak their senti
ments openly respecting the conduct of their
government. A north side of Tweed man (as
we suppose “Aberdeen” to be) might possibly
“speer” into the cost of independence in com
menting upon the policy of foreign cabinets, but
such considerations are not likely to affect
American citizens.
If British subjects subscribe for papers that do
not mince matters, when they treat ofthose meas
ures of England that bear imperiously upon
American interests, it is we suppose, because
they admire that quality of patriotism that re
gards one's own country above all other things
in discussing the policies of foreign powers.
We do not seriously object to such support, (if
it be any) being placed upon the ground of “phi
lanthropy," as we do not desire to be colonised
just now.
From the Lady's World of Fashion.
The Emir’s Daughter*
“Sing again, Christian,” said the Emir’s
daughter to the Captive who knelt at her feet.
“What shall I sing?” asked the minstrel,
starting from a reverie, and carelessslj’ running
his fingers over the instrument, giving utter
ance to a prelude of wild but exquisitely melo
dious tqnes.
“Shall I sing of war, or of love, or,” and his
voice became suddenly sad, “of captivity.”
• The princess turned her large dark eyes, on
the speaker, and involuntarily sighed, for phe
felt how much that little ward meant.
“No—no, not of captivity—sing of some gay
er theme—let—let it ba of love,” she, continued,
and the blood mounted to her forehead as she
spoke.
“There is but one song I remember of that
kind,” replied the minstrel in a saabut musical
voice, whose softened accents told how grateful
he felt for the sympathy of the maiden. “There
is but one song of that kind I remember, and it
is of my own tar off home. Lady, I know not
that I can sing it, for it fills my heart with tears
when I think of it now, but your wish is my
law,” and again running his fingers over the in
strument, he evoked a strain of melody that
might have been from the stars.
The maiden leaned her hand on her face to
listen; and as she reclined thus, the minstrel
thought he had never seen anything so beauti
ful. Her brow was as smooth as marble; her
mouth and chin cut in the most exquisite pro
portions, while her long lashes drooping over
her eyes gave them the depth of shaded water.
If there was majesty in that face, there was al
so grace. If the classic features made it for a
moment seem stern, the kind smile and softened
look of the eyes relieved you instantly from the
feeling. And now’, as she gazed on the min
strel, there was adewy tenderness in those full
dark orbs which might have said volumes to
him if he had noticed them closely, which per
haps he did. He raised his head and spoke:
“The words are my own language, but the
music you can understand.”
The princess nodded, and he began. The
song was mournful, and before the minstrel had
finished, he had drawn tears into the eyes of the
listener, merely by the touching pathos of his
voice. A pause ensued.
“Sir minstrel!” she said suddenly, “you pine
for your country —do you not?”
“Can I forget the home where I was born, or
the churchyard where my father sleeps?” he
answered sadly. Again there was a pause, and
there seemed a struggle in the lady’s bosom.—
When she spoke, there was a deep emotion in
her voice.
“And would you run the peril of reachingthe
Christian camp, if your escape thence was con
nived at ?”
“Dearlady, yes!”
“You shall go To-night, there, will be one
at the seaward postern—you are allowed the
freedom ot the interior—the gate will be opened
for you, and a boat at hand. And may the God
you worship bless and preserve you”—and she
turned away to hide her tears.
A new light broke in on the minstrel. Could
it be that he was beloved? Was this the cause
ofthe kindness with which he had been treated?
With a sudden hope, he was about to fling him
self at the feet of the princess, when one of her
father’s eunichs entered the apartment, and he
was forced to resume his instrument in order to
conceal his emotions. No further opportunity
to speak with his mistress occurred during the
day, and he left her presence towards the even
ing in despair.
Should he avail himself of her offer to es
cape ? If he were certain of her love, nothing
could induce him to fly without her; but did she
love him ? This question the captive could not
answer. Harassed with doubts, he saw the ap
pointed hour arrive without having come to any
conclusion. A new hope now arose. He
would meet his mistress at the postern. Alas!
there was no one there but an eunich, whom she
had bribed, who was perversely silent. The
minstrel was still in doubts, when lights were
seen in the garden, advancing towards the pos
tern. No tjme was to be lost. The. eunich
pushed him into the boat, the crew of w-hich in
stantly rowed off from the land; and the cap
tive, yielding to hie fate, bade iarewell forever
to the Emir’s daughter.
But he could not forget her. Even alter arri
ving at the Christian camp, and resuming his
round, (for all had thought him dead,) his only
thought was ofthe Saracen beauty; and long he
lingered in Palestine, when his interest should
have called him home, hoping to heat ofher, but
despair at length took possession of him, and he
returned sadly to Europe, where the fairest ladies
of his owm gay province strove in vain to win
him by their smiles.
Oh 1 had lie known the agony with W’hich the
Emir’s daughter watched, from her tower, his
departure—had he been told how, day by day,
she sought to glean some intelligence of his ar
rival at the Christian camp, he would have left
his broad possessions at once, and found his way
back to her, through a thousand perils, rather
than she should consider him ungrateiul. But
little did he imagine the sacrifice she had made
Since the first day she had seen the pale but sti.l
noble-looking captive, she had surrendered to
him her heart; and theoffer of his freedom sprang
from the heroic wish to see him happy, even at
the sacrifice of his company. Had he spoken
his love then, and she almost w-ished he would,
lew words would have induced her to sacrifice
father, country, and faith, to follow him ; but he
was silent, and she feared her love was despised.
Still, her noble heart refused to take its revenge
.by interrupting his escape; but she watched his
departure, hoping to the last that he would com
municate with her; and when she could no more
catch the shadowy figure of the receding boat,
she flung herself on her cushions, and wept as
if her heart would break. From that dav, her
attendants noticed that she grew paler and thin
ner, as if some secret malady was eatingout her
life. But none suspected the truthr
In the proud castle of Limoges sat the owner
leaning his head on his hand. He was thinking
ofher who had set him free from Moslem slave
ry, and when he recalled her beauty and gentle
ness, he felt as if it would be no sacrifice to sur
render houses and lauds and knightly honors, to
be again the captive minstrel at her feet, enjoy
ing her smiles and her sympathy, even though
denied her love.
“It is in vain,” he said; “ I can find no hap
piness here. Beauty ha' no charms for me. I
will go again to Palestine, and ne.'er return un
til I see her.” He was about to summon his
squire, when that individual entered the roam.
“There is a page, my lord,” he said, “with
out, who wishes to see you on urgent business.”
“Let him enter.”
A youth, apparently of Italian origin, appear
ed and stood humbly at the door, until the knight
signed him to advance. The page looked at
the squire, when his master, understanding the
hint, ordered him to leave the room. Then has
tily advancing the youth threw’ off his hat, and
exposed to view a countenance ot singularly
feminine beauty for one ot his sex.
“Henri! Henri!” said the page, and bursting
into tears, fell at the knight’s feet.
“My own Zenora !” and the knight clasped
her to his bosom; for it was the Emir’s daugh
ter. “And how did you thread your way thro’
such innumerable dangers ?” the knight asked,
using her own tongue, when after weeping long
upon his bosom, she was somewhat composed.
“I know net. Your God—for him I now serve
—protected me. I fled, bearing with me a tew
jewels, determined to seek you out, and be your
minstrel as you have been mine. I assumed
this disguise, and knowing nothing of your lan
guage but your name and nation, found my way
hither, where for thiee months. I have wander
ed up and down, repeating Henry de Limoges.
At length a jewel of some price induced a man
to bring me hither, and now—now may I be
your minstrel, anything?—only do not send me
away.”
“You shall be my own brideand so it was:
and never in Languedoc was a more beautiful
couple than the Count- de Limoges and the
Emir’s daughter.
A Good Symptom.—Following the example
of the State, the Democracy of Springfield, the
capital of Illinois, has attempted to carry out
the doctrine of repudiation in regard to the pub
lic debt of the town, amounting to the sum of
$33,334. One half of the amount is due to citi
zens of the town, who had advanced the money
in good faith to the corporation. The Governor
©f the State, and the State printer, are both ac
tive in theii exertions to swindle their creditors.
But not so the people. Indignant at the knav
ish design, they turned out with commendable
spirit, and repudiated the repudiators— electing
an entire Whig municipal government. A
bright page, this, in the political history of that
Slate.—A’. Y. Cam.

JAMES ifALL,
may 4-w6t ROBERT D CODYJ
By an extra brought by this morning’s mail,
from the office of the Tallahassee Star, dated
May 27, we have received the following addi
tional particulars ol the late disastrous fire in
that city:
Dreadful Conflagration.
Oa Thursday last, there occurred in this city
one of the most sweeping fires that perhaps ever
overwhelmed any city with perfect and entire
ruin. The fire commenced at the house known
as the Washington Hall, on the eastern side of
the capital, and in the south eastern quarter of
the city. The wind was very’ fresh at the time,"
and the flames spread northwardly with tearful
rapidity. A vacant lot, and the fire-proof dwel
ling of Mr. Cutter prevented its extending south
wardly. To its progress on the north, the nar
row street, called Lafayette street, presented no
hairier. It soon caught the low buildings occu
pied as a carriage maker’s shop, the dwelling ot
Mr. Watson, Judge Gibson, and approached
the red store of Capt. Bond. The efforts made
to arrest its progress were impotent and futile.
The terrible element had arisen in its power,
and the feeble strength of man was as nothing
before it. It crossed Pensacola street, swspt
the entire block occupied by the Messrs. Hack
ley and E. W. Dorsey, Auctioneeis, by the
Fiori lian Office, and others. Every exertion,
which the means within reach and the time al
lowed, were used to prevent the flames being
communicated to the buildings on the west side
of Monroe street, but in vain ; many roofs were
fired at once, and the fire fully’ established itsell
in the block between Monroe street on the east,
Adams street on the west, and the entire busi
ness portion of the city before it on the north.
And such was the fearful rapidity with which
the flames were driven forward, that but a few
goods could be saved from the numerous stores
which lined both sides of Monroe street, and
the cross streets, Jefferson and Clinton streets.
Owing to the great protection which the trees
on both sides of Adams street furnished, the
citizens were enabled by great exertion, to pre
vent the fire’s crossing’ this street westwardly.
The two story brick dwelling of R. Hayward,
Esq., the three story’ trick building of C. E.
Bartlett, and the Union Bank, and the Bank of
Florida, were all in great danger, and saved
only by extraordinary efforts. To the north
ward, the flames rushed on without impedi
ment, till they found nothing further to prey
on, in the vacancy' of Court House square.—
On the Eastern side of Monroe street, every
thing was swept till it reached the dwelling of
Dr. Randolph, where its further progress was
arrested. The Court House was several times
on fire, but those on the alert were fortunate
enough to extinguish the flames before they had
gathered strength. The fire broke out about 5
o’clock, P. M. and was arrested beforeß, solhat
all this destruction occurred in the short space
of three hours.
Below, is a list of the houses burnt, so far as
recollected. A committee lias been appointed
to ascertain the amount of individual losses,
and the aggregate loss; but as yet we can form
but a vague opinion. It must be heavy, and in
these times of general hardship and pressure,
will fall with peculiar severity, en several indi
viduals. Some have lost their all. They rose
up that morning in the confidence of wealth—
rich in this world's goods. Before the sun went
down, all their earthly possessions had past a
way—without the means being left for the pur
chase of necessary food for a single day. In
this condition are several helpless widows and
their orphan children. Those who hare been
spared in this trying calamity, should remember
their brothers who have fallen under the sever
ity of heaven’s chastisement.

Since writing the above, we learn, that from
investigations, had before the committee, it is
evident that the Joss, sustained by our citizens
cannot be kss than half a million of dollars. Il
is probable they have much exceeded that a
mount. The whole business portion of the city
has been swept away.—Not a store of any kind
was left. It is not certainly known whether the
fire was the work of an incendiary, or was the
result of accident.
