We find the following communication in the
Charleston Courier of yesterday.
“There is'a scheme on foot to make our city
responsible for the bonds of the Georgia R JR.
Company to the enormous sum of about 5500,-
000 no public notice of this business has as
yet been given, and our citizens may wake up
one oi these mornings, and find the above nam
ed sum fastened upon them, in the shape of an
endorsement on the bonds of a corporation
which has its existence in another State.
It is time that our citizens were awake to this
preposterous scheme, which under the guise of
a patriotic devotion to the welfare of Charlestotf,
promises a certain responsibility to an enormous
amount for the uncertain hope of gaining the
trade of East Tennessee. Let the public look
to this matter.’’

we believe are, and ought to be, entertained by a
vast majority of our fellow-citizens throughout
our extended country.
Resolved, That we deem the principles and

liberty.

Fatal Frost.—Th* frost which wejiredicted
in our yesterday’s paper came last night, sure
enough and with fatal eff*ct upon nearly or
qaite all the gardens in the city. Bushand pole
beans, cucumbers and melons are generally cut
down. Grapes and other fruits we believe are
but slightly, it at all injured. The damage to
vegetables generally will be very serious in this
region, and much more so in the interior of the
state, where the frosts are always more severe
than on the sea board. The thermometer this
morning at sun rise was down to 34 degrees—
within 4 of the freezing point.
From the Boston Mercantile Journal of 2d.
Another Frost.—There was another frost
last night in this vicinity, which must have done
much damage to vegetation in some places, and
we fear that the Indian corn will be seriously in
jured. The thermometer this morning at sun
rise was at 36. Pretty well down for June.
From the Trenton N. J. Gazette of 2d.
Frost in June.—We had a heavy frost last
night, and expect ice and snow in a few days.
We advise the people to get their sleighs ready,
and have their sleigh-bells polished. The sales

At 9 o’clock there was a small snow storm,
and through the day overcoats and thick mittens
were in as great use as in December.
This morning, June 2, at sunrise, the ther
mometer stood at 32 degrees, freezing point.
At Skaneatles and Buifalo on Thursday snow
fell and the papers say the temperature was
what might be expected during a snow storm.
The U. S. Schooner Grampus.—We copied
a day or two ago a paragraph from the Albany
Journal, in which it was stated that letters had
been received from Lieut. Gansevoort, announ
cing that the Grampus had sailed on a distant
cruise, with secret orders, and would not there
fore be heard from for some time. We regret
to learn, however, that this information is inaexu
rate. The Grampus sailed from Charleston
early in March, with orders to Com. Slewart,
commanding the Home Squadron, to which she
was attached, to cruise between Cape St. Johns
and Cape Hatteras until her provisions were
exhausted, and then pul into Norfolk. As no
tidings have been received of her having been
spoken, and as her provisions taust have been
exhausted long ago, there is too much reason to
fear that the vessel is lost, and that her officers
and crew have found a sailor’s grave in the deep
of the ocean.— N. Y. American.
The friends ot the officers on board the U. S.
schooner Grampus, feeling naturally anxious
for their fate, in consequence of no tidings being
received from that vessel for two months past,
have made inquiry at the Naw Department tor
information that would relieve their fears. For
the information of the relatives and triends of
all on board, we are requested to state that no
official intelligence of any kind has reached the
Department from the Grampus since she sailed
from the Chesapeake, on or about the 20th Feb
ruary last. Her cruising ground was along the
coast between Cape Hatteras and the St. Johns,
in Florida; and her orders were to return to
Norfolk for supplies as soon as her stores began
to run short.— Madisonian.
.The Weather—Crops.—From Florida,
South Carolina, and some parts of this'State,
says the Fort Gaines (Ga.) Moderator accounts
have reached us of long continued drouths. —
In this section ot country, since the warm weath
er actually set in, the season has been as propiti
ous to the Planter, and crops look as promising,
though not quite as fin ward, as in previous
years.
Ballooning.—Mr. Wise, the celebrated ®ro
naut, in a late balloon ascension from Carlisle,
Pa., varied the performances in rather a daring
manner. Upon arriving at Centre Square, he
divested himself of every particle of clothing
except his pantaloons, and detaching the car
from the balloon to make the weight as light as
possible took his seal on a narrow board attached
to the cords of the balloon, and giving the signal
to “let go,” shot away like an arrow from the
bow, and nearly in a straight line, leaving be
hind him hundreds who were amazed at the sin
gular boldness ot the daring feat. He ascended
nearly' a mile, and was fast fading from sight,
when he began to descend, and actually alight
ed about two squares from the place of starting.

A Remarkable Man.—Ata temperance meet
ing recently held in Alabama, Col. Lahmanous
ky, who had been twenty-three years a soldier in
the army of Napoleon Bonaparte, addressed the
meeting. He arose before the audience, tall,
erect and vigorous, withtheglowof health in his
face, and said: “You see before you a man sev
enty-nine years old. 1 have fought two hun
dred battles, have fourteen wounds on my body,
have lived thirty days on horse flesh, with the
bark of trees for my bread, snow and ice for my
drink, the canopy of heaven for my covering,
without stockings or shoes on my feet, and with
only a few rags for my clothing.—ln the deserts
of Egypt. I have marched for days with a burn
ing sun upon my naked head, feet blistered in
the scorching sand, and with eyes, nostrils and
mouth filled with dust, and with a thirst so tor
menting that I have torn open the veins of my
arm and sucked my own blood! Do you ask
how I could survive all these horrors I I answer
that next to the kind providence of God, I owe
my preservation, my health and vigor, to this,
that I never drank a drop of spirilous liquor in my
life,” — and he continued, “Barron Larry, chief
of the medical staff ot the French Army, has
staled it as a fact that the six thousand survivors
who safely returned from Egypt, were all men
who abstained from, the use of ardent spirits.”

Remarkable Antiquities.
Natchez, May 17th 1843.
Since I wrote to you I had an opportunity of
seeing some of the curi .us remains which have
been disinterred in this neighborhood. With
that view, I accepted an invitation a few days
ago to visit Washington college, where they are
collected and preserved. Dr. Dickinson, of this
cily, and Mr. Wailes, of Washington, deserve
great credit for the antiquarian zeal with which
they are pursuing the history ot the perished
race which once inhabited this region.—Their
labors have been rewarded by the discovery of
some wonderful remains, which tell the story of
a race possessing many arts, and much more
improved than any of the aboriginal tribes with
whose history we are acquainted.
There are in the collection goblets of classical
form which bear no resemblance to any thing
known to our Indians. Several curious weap
ons of war, drinking cups, and tools, the use of
which does not appear, are in the collection.
Some of the latter were found in ploughed fields,
but the remains generally were found by re
peated searches among the ancient mounds, or
purial places of the authors.
Dr. Dickenson has also found the bones of
some large animal now un mown, in his search
es in the Mammoth Ravine, so called from the
number of bones which have been found there.
This skeleton was found in a pit of blue marl
from 30 to 40 feet deep, containing sea shells, pet
rified wood and various fossil remains. The
bones were loose, but after patient search he
found nearly’ the entire skeleton within a circum
ference of 20 feet.
To give you some idea of the creature, it is
only necessary to say that one of the ribs, oi
which there are 16, is twe feet long and nearly
two inches wide. The lore leg is 5 feet long,
and terminates in a foot with 3or 4 claws. The
toes, which incl tiding the claws, are 13 inches in
length, have each 4 joints, from that which con
nects them with the leg. It is eviden from the
appearance of the skull, which measures 18 by
11 inches, that those were originally tusks and e
proboscis.
Altogether it is one of the most curious of all
the remains that have been exhumed in the val
ley of the Mississippi. Dr. D. will, 1 presume,
publish a full scientific description in some ap
propriate Journal for the benefit of naturalists
and the antiquary.
The iveather is delightful but not so warm as
I expected. Vegetation is very forward, and all
things rejoice in the opening summer but the
planter and the money-hunter of the North.
Business is far from being as it should be.
Yours &c. J. R. B.
The Bangor Whig of the 23d inst. has the
following article under its editorial head:
Animal Magnetism—A Home Case and a
Strong One.—Ar. operation has been perform
ed in this city which goes far to establish the
fact that there is something in Mesmerism, be
yond all dispute. Mrs. Davis, of Eddington,
has suffered for some time with a tumor in the
right shoulder, and was advised by her physi
cian to have it removed. While thinking upon
the subject, she heard of Animal Magnetism,
and came into the city several days since to
have its effects tried upon her.
Mr. Wm. E. Small, of this city, who has re
cently been practicing Magnetism among his
friends and found to be a successful magnetiser,
was called upon and succeeded in mesmerising
or in putting her into the magnetic sleep. This
was repeated several times within a few days,
when the physician and several friends met lor
the purpose of removing the tumor by a surgi
cal operation. The excitement of the prepara
tion, Mrs. Davis remarked, was so great that
she doubted whether Mr. Small would be able
to Mesmerise her sufficiently for enduring the
operation.
Mr. Small commenced magnetising her, and
in eleven minutes she fell asleep and the opera
tion was continued as much longer, when the
Surgeon Dr. George B. Rich, made an incision
in the shoulder, over the tumor, of about two
inches in length, and inserted a hook into the
tumor which was about the size of a hen’s egg,
and dissected it out and dressed the wound.
During the operation, Mrs. Davis manifest
ed some slight uneasiness like a person in a
troubled dream, and one or two slight spasms
in the opposite arm. On being taken out of the
sleep she was told that they’ had not been able to
extract her tumor, to which she replied that she
bad feared they would not as she was so much
excited about it. She was at length apprised of
the result, of which she was previously quite
unconscious, and the only sensation of which
she was in any way conscious, was that ofbe
ing asleep and wishing to wake up but not be
ing able. Nor had she suffered any pain up to
last evening.
We have this statement, substantially, from
those who were present; and the parties are of
the highest respectability’ and have no motive
for an erroneous statement.
The Female.—The following natural and
true description of the Parental comfort derived
from Female children, is from a Speech of Bur
rows, an eminent Irish lawyer:—
“The love of offspring—the most forcible of
all our instincts—is even stronger toward the
female than the male child. It is wise it should
be so—it is more required. There is no pillow,
on which the hear, of a Parent, anguished by
sickness or by sorrow, can so sweetly repose as
on the bosoni of an affectionate daughter. Her
attentions are unceasing. She is utterly incapa
ble of remaining inactive. The boy may afford
occasional comfort and pride to his family; they
may catch glory from his celebrity and derive
support of his acquisitions; but he never com
municates the solid and unceasing comforts of
life, which are derived only from the care and
tender solicitude of the female child. She
seems destined by Providence to be the perpetual
solace and happiness oi her Parent. Even after
her marriage, her filial affections are unimpair
ed. She may git e her hand and heart to her
husband, but still she may share her cares and
attentions with her Parent, without a pang of
jealousy or distrust from him. He only looks
on them as the assured pledge of fidelity, and the
unerring evidence of a good disposition.”
A Scotchman’s Opinion of the jErial
Machine.—The Ayr Advertiser gives the fol
lowing brief dialogue:
"Wha’think ye, Tomtnae, o’this new fan
gled project o’ fleein’ through the air like a wild
duck? Is na it a most extraordinar’ thing, tnon?”
“Naething vera startlin’ aboot it ava, Archie.
Auid an a’ as I am, I expect to live to see the
day when, wi’ a wee steam engine aneath my
oxter, and a pennyworth o’ coals in my coat
pouch, I may tak a trip to Kilmarnock, and
come back within hauf an hour! Wonderfu’!
Naething would surprise me noo-a-days, git it
werena an advertisement frae the mon in the
moon, o’ ‘Furnished lodgins to let,’ or a project
to big a hauf-way hoose atwern his domicile
and the yirth!”
Dislike to Double Names.—Frederick the
Great had a particular dislike to double or com
pound names. An old nobleman once solicited
permission, in compliance with the will of ;
lady who had left him a large fortune, to ad
her name to his own. “The man has a name
already,” replied Frederick; “what does he
want with two?” General Zaremba had a long
Polish name. The king had heard of it, an
one day said to him: “What is your propei
name, Zaremba!” The General repeated it at
full length. “Why,” exclaimed Frederick
“the devil himself has not sucha name.” “No
your Majesty,” replied Zaremba drily, “butthen
he does not belong to my family.”
From the Dublin University Magazine.
A Queen for a Day.
On a cold rainy day in the month of April,
1791, a post-chaise with four horses was seen to
travel the road between Lons-le-Saulnier and
Besancon. Two persons occupied the carriage
—one of them, a tall, handsome and elegant
looking figure, reclined alone in the back, while
in the front was seated a young woman whose
dress and manner at once bespoke the waiting
maid.
“What o’clock is it?” asked the mistress of
the maid.
“Four o’clock, madame.”
“We shall never arrive—the postillions are
frightfully slow.”
“The road is very bad, madame.”
“What a horrible delay—l am sure my nerves
would play me some disagreeable trick; de
tained three days at Lons-le-Saulnier, ill and
unfit to continue my route, with m uch serious
reasons to wish it ended; and to add to my mis
ery, to go on slowly; I believe at each change
of horses they have given me the most misera
ble beasts possible to procure.”
“But, madame, unfortunately we are gallop
ing the whole way, for the jolts are enough to
dislocate our joints; it is your uneasiness and
impatience prevents your feeling it. This
country is pretty, but the day is so wet —I am
sure that young man who follows us finds we
go too fast.”
“How I is he there still ?”
“Yes, madame, but a lew paces from the car
riage; he has nut lost an inch of ground. He
is a very good horseman.”
“He must be a most determined idler to make
a journey of seven or eight leagus, in weather
like this.”
“Say rather, madame, that he must be. very
much in love.”
"He must be mad to follow a person whom
he. scarcely has seen and never spoken to.”
“It only proves that they still have a remnant
of chivalry in the provinces. 1 should: like to
see our fashionables of Versailles or Paris gal
lop in that way in weather like this, and a road
bad enough to break one’s neck; trust me they
do not give themselves much trouble, they are
expert at talking nonsense, or in following up
an easy intrigue, but most assuredly they would
not do as this honest provincial.”
“And they are perfectly right, for what can
this young man gain, but a broken back or a
pleurisy.”
“Poor fellow!”
“You pity him Suzanne: has he bought you
over?”
“You know me too well, madame, to suspect
such a thing, the chevalier ”
“Ah 1 it is a cnevalier?”
“Did 1 not tell you so, and moreover, before
you tore his letter, you read them, and they
were signed; his name is De Maillettes, and 61
a good family.”
“Why, this is a conquest really flattering.”
“He saw you enter the inn at Lons-le-Saul
nier, he saw you again when he went to the
window, and he fell in love with you. You
must know, madame, there are hearts in the
world capable of love at first sight, and you
should neither be offended nor surprised at hav
ing inspired a sudden passion.”
“But I hope you have been discreet. You
have not told him who lam? You know that
1 have good reasons for preseiving the incognito
in this journey; it is for that reason 1 uiti not
permit the Due de L , the Marquisde C ,
nor any of my faithful ‘vassals’ to attend me.”
“Be assured he knows no more than any one
else; and it is not his fault, for he did not spare :
questions. I answered him as I did every one
else, that you were called Madame de Pryne,.
and that you travelled for pleasure. But this
did not satisfy him, his curiosity was strong e
nough to make him shake a purse of gold, hop
ing the sound of it would make me mere com
municative. When he saw that his offers:
wounded my delicacy, that my discretion was
incorruptible, he tried conjectures; no doubt,
said he, it is person of consequence, whom the
troubles and misfortunes of France have oblig
ed to seek safety in flight, but I shall follow her
to the end of the world.”
“You see that this foolish fellow will end by
compromising me.”
They stopped to change horses, and after a
moment’s silence Suzanne recommenced the
conversation—
“ See,” said she, “this poor cavalier, who still
pursues us, and bears his wetting with a pa- '
lienee quite praiseworthy,”
“Does it still continue to rain?” replied Ma
dame Pryne. Then drawing the glove off her
white and beautifully formed hand, coverei with
diamonds, she ran her fingers through the curls
of her fair hair, arranged the lace of her cap,
and notwithstanding the rain, leaned her head a
little out of the window ot the cart iage, so true is
it that zeal, devotion, and obstinacy, are always
rewarded in the end. .
“Where are we?” asked the handsome travel
ler to the postillion.
“At Naux.”
“And the next stage?”
“Jougne.”
“Is it a good place to step?”
“Certainly, a town of seven thousand souls,
and at the hotel of the Lion d’Aigenl you are as
well treated as in a palace.”
“That will do very well.”
In this little dialogue the words were for the
nostillion, and the look for the Chevalier, for
Madame de Pryne was not a woman without
pity, and after this act of charity she closed the
carriage window.
“Does madame intend to pass the night at
Jouge?” asked Suzanne.
“No, no, we shall continue our journey to
night; you know I ought to be at Bensancon to
morrow morning; we shall only stop for supper
at the Lion d’Argent, where you are as well
treated as in a palace, and then we shall contin
ue our route.”
Scarcely were the two travellers seated at a
table in the fpmous inn ot Lion it’Argent, when a
functionary wealing a tri-colored scarf entered
the dining room and fixed upon Madame de
Pryne a scrutinizing look, and seemed to com
pare the features with something written on a
paper which he held in his hand. After this ex
amination, by which he seemed profoundly oc
cupied, the functionary, who was no less than
the mayor of Jougne, desired the travellers to
show Kim their passports.
Madame de Pryne seemed embarrassed—
“ Could you not spare us sir,” said she, “this
formality; all our papers are shut up in our port
manteau.”
“I am very sorry,” drily replied the officer,
“but no one can avoid submitting to a procedure
so important at present in this country. Your
trunks must be opened.” And notwithstanding
the ill humor shown by the ladies, the trunks
were taken from the carriage, and brought into
the great room of the Lion d’Argent.. The lar
gest was first opened, and what was the aston
ishment of the mayor on finding a tolerably
large bag full of gold.
“ W hat is this?” cried the officer, astounding.
“You see very well, sir,” replied Madame de
Pryne, smiling; “they are louisanddouble louis.
Is it not allowable to carry such, travelling?”
“That’s as it may be, madame—there appears
tne to be a very large amount!”
“Oh! but thirty thousand francs at most.”
“Thirty thousand francs lock very like emi
gration.”
“Indeed, do you think so?”
“Oh ! you are quite right to affect indiffer
ence: but I am not so easily deceived.”
“I see that there is no necessity for my inter
ference, for you seem to manage very well tor
yourself.”
“A truce to raillery, if you please madame:
my character and the insignia oi my office must
be respected.”
“Believe me, sir, they have my most profound
respect.”
‘■Very well, madame; but with your permis
sion I must continue my examination.”
“Just as you please, sir.”
The Mayor of Jougne was going to reply,
when in lifting a linen cloth, he saw a quantity
of rich embroidery, and drew from the portman
teau two dresses covered with gold; and a velvet
cloak, trimmed with ermine, and fastened with
a clasp of diamonds.
“Ha!” said he, “these coincide exactly with
my suspicious."
“Will you be good enough to tell me what
these same suspicions may be?”
“Confess first that the name of Pryne, which
you have written in the book of the inn, is a
feigned one.”
“I acknowledge it.”
“That’s enough—you need not tell me any
more.”
“Where is the harm in travelling under a
feigned name, when the incognito conceals no
thing wrong?”
“We shall see that, madame.”
“Let us end this scene, sir; I will show you
my passport.”
“’Tis not worth ■while; your passport signi
fies nothing to me now, and I will dispense with
your showing it. Doubtless, it is easy enough
to procure false papers—but stay, here we have
enough to confound dissimulation, and destroy
the mystery with which you try to surround
yourself.”
And as he spoke he lifted his arms triumph
antly in .he air, holding in one hand a crown,
and in the other a sceptre of gold.
“There is no doubt now; I know who you
are.”
“You will perhaps tell me then?”
“Marie Antoinette of Austria!”
“The Queen!”
“Yes, madatne; and you wish to emigrate to
Switzerland. I was prepared for you.”
“Really, you knew that the Queen, Marie
Antoinette, intended to make her escape and
pass through here?”
“Certainly; they auspactedyour intentions at
Paris, and sent we word, and you see that my
vigilance did not sleep. And now in the name
of the law I arrest you.”
“Without further proofs?”
“I need no other.”
_ “And if 1 again beg of you to examine my
nassrorts?”
“’Tis useless; what signifies a passport?”
“Then nothing will shake your conviction?”
“Ni thing, madame.”
“In that case, sir, I must submit.”
Suzanne had several times attempted to in
erruft the conversation, but with an imperious
gesture her mistress commanded her silence.
The Queen and her maid were now lodgedin
he best apartment of the Lion d’Argent, wit!
entinels placed at theii door; the tattoo wa
jeat; all the influential persons of the place
were summoned; the national guard were under
arms, and the local authorities established them
selves in the large room of the inn. When all
•the notabilities of-Jougnewere united, they dire
liberated upon what they should do in a case of
such political consequence. A forfeits dema
gogue, the chief of their party, commenced
speaking in these terms:—
“Citizens—We have just made a great cap
ture; but as a famous general once said, it is
not enough to conquer, you must profit by the
victory. In a few days the eyes of all France
will be upon us; for proud Jougne is one in the
number of illustrious cities which belong to
history. Let us raise ourselves to the grandeur
ot our new position, and let us merit the appro
bation ot the nation which shall soon behold us;
may the wisdom ol Cato and the patriotism of
Brutus inspire us; may our decision be thought
worthy to be placed side by side with the sub
lime sentences of the Greek Areopagus and the
Roman senate. ’Tis thus I propose:—the pa
triots of Jougne shall form themselves into a
battalion, place Marie Antoinette of Austria in
the middle of the ranks, and conduct her to the
bar of the national assembly; each of us to car
ry one of the insignia of royalty that we
have arrested in flight—this sceptre, this crown,
this royal mantle, and all this golden frippe y
which wound our republican eyes: we shall
place our spoils upon the altar of our country,
and we shall return gloriously to oui firesides,
after having received the felicitations ot our
brothers and the thanks of liberty. And that it
should cost nothing to the nation, I demand that
the thirty thousand trancs seized upon the fugi
tive should be employed in paying the expenses
of our journey.”
This speech caused a great sensation; but
the more moderate, who always spoiled the fin
est flights, proposed and carried, by a majority
of voices, that they should await the orders ot
the national assembly.
At this moment, the Chevalier de Mailettes,
who had been delayed by a fall, arrived in the
l.'otel of the Lion d'Argent, wet, splashed, and
w earied.—The first thing he asked on entering
wa «, had they seen two ladies pass in a yellow
carriage ? At this question, the landlord seized
him .by the collar, and dragged him before the
comm ittee.
“Wl ?o are you ?” said the president. “What
is your,aame?”
“Isidoi ede Maillettes.”
“What; Appointment do you hold under those
persons, for whom you asked on your arrival
here?”
“I don’t kn ow them.”
“You don’t know them, and you pursue them
in this fashion• You don’t know them and yet
you seek them I An unhappy attempt to con
ceal the truth I”
“I don’t unde.’stand you, sir.”
“Undoubtedly,” said the chief of the Jacobins
of Jougne, “this man conceals-Masreal name
and rank ; he is some noble ofYt’rehilles—the
Prince of Lambtille or Polignac, perhaps the
Count d’Artois himself, secretly returned to
France—search him.”
They found upon the chevalier four louis, a
w’atch, and a love-letter folded, sealed, but with
out an address; this letter was the object of pro
found examination.
They sought to find a mysterious and politi
cal meaning in the phrases of gallantry which
it contained, but it was time lost; for the gov
ernment of Jousne did not understand the sci
ence of interpretation.
“We shall send this letter to the national as
sembly,” said the president, “who will, perhaps,
be more fortunate than we are, and find a key
to those tender hieroglyphics.”
“Can you deny, sir, that this letter was for
the Queen ?”
“What Queen?”
“Deceit is use'ess; we came here lo arrest
Marie Antoinette .if Austria.”
“Arrest! here! The Queen, Marie Antoin
ette ?”
“Yes, you seeconce alment is out of the ques
tion, and ’twould be better lor your own sake,
to hide nothing from us. What can you tell us
of our prisoner?”
“Me ? I have not seen her.”
“You still persist in you r absurd system, and
declare that you do not kno w the persons whom
you asked alter on coming i nto the inn ?”
“ What! the lady in the yel.'ow carriage whom
I have followed all the way ft otn Lons-le-Saul
nier, the Quern ot France?”
“Citizen,” replied the presi dent in a stern
voice, “I suspect you wish to t nock us; but if
so, know that we shall make you repent of it.”
As the chevalier did not reply, they thought
it useless to question him farther,: tnd determin
ed on keeping him a prisoner.
When they had decided the fate of the chev
alier, tney sought the Queen to in form her oi
their determination with regard to h.tr
“Our Secretary,” says the orator, * ‘indites at
this moment a letter to the national assembly.
You must remain a prisoner here until the re
turn of the messenger, who will depa-t in an
hour.”
“I also have written to the national assem
bly,” replied the Queen; “will you h ive lhe
goodness to forward my letter with yours ?”
“Willingly; and until we receive a reply
from Paris, thirty-six francs a day shall .bi: al
lowed for your expenses, taken from the money
found in your possession, and twenty-four for
the lady who accompanied you, and for rite
young man who has just arrived.”
“A young man, did you say ? It must be the
unhappy Chevalier de Maillettes.”
“Tis such he calls himsell; but we have no
doubt it is only assumed to conceal a name of
more importance. There is nothing to prevent
your seeing this person; if you wish, he shall
come to your roc tn.”
“1 wish it much,” replied the Queen; and
then added, in a dignified manner, “you may
retire, gentlemen.”
The moment after, De Maillettes entered the
room, pale and trembling. The Queen receiv
ed him with a gracious dignity: while he knelt
to her, and taking het hand, which she held out
to him, touched it respectfully with his lips.
“Will your majesty deign to pardon the te
merity of my pursuit?” said he, humbly. “My
ignorance niust be my excuse.”
“I pardon you, sir; and see nothing in your
conduct but an exalted devotion to our royal
person.”
“Put it to the proof, madame, and I shall
brave the greatest danger to show myself worthy
your clemency.”
“Wei., chevalier, you have not long to wait
an opportunity to show your zeal; the town is
in an uproar, the people surround the inn; get
rid of them, for they worry me with their noisq.”
The chevalier went out and returned in a
quarter of an hour, saying—
“ Your majesty’s orders are obeyed. The
crowd is dispersed.”
“I shall not forget this service,” said the
Queen; “and I h. pe one day to be able to repay
it, and give you a place at my court when I re
gain my proper rank ; in the meantime I make
you my chamberlain; and now 1 beg of you to
order tny supper, for I am—shall I confess it—
uncommonly hungry.”
“ What! at such a moment, and after such
cruel emotions! your majesty can feel hungry ?
Wltat grandeur of soul!”
“‘The soul has very li'tle to do in this affair.
Onder three covers, one for me, one for tny faith
ful Suzanne, and one for j’ourself. We shall all
sit p together, all difference of ranks shall be for
go tten in our misfortunes. We will not hold to
the etiquette of Versailles at the hotel of the
L.ion <i’ Argent. Above all things take care and
let the champaigne be well iced.”
The repast was delightful—the Queen put
'her companions at their ease by telling them
that she wished to banish all ceremony, and pass
the time as pleasantly as possible. Suzanne
begged the chevalier to relate his history, which
the young man did with much simplicity.
“I belong to this country,” said the chevalier,
“and was twenty years old last Easter Monday.
My father died in the king’s service, and my
mother intended me for the church; for I had
an elder brother—Achilles—who was destined
to maintain the familj' honors; unfortunately
the poor fellow was rather quarrelsome, and was
killed in a duel. I was then taken from my
studies, launched into the world where I quick
ly forgot all I had learned, and entered eagerly
into the folly and dissipation usual with young
men. I got into debt and difficulty, wasobliged
to leave tny property and live at Lons-le-Saul
nier, of which I was well weary. 1 had just re
solved to go to Paris. When you appeared,
then my former projects vanished ; I thought of
but one person, of whose rank I was ignorant—
I need not add how I followed you on horseback,
and became prisoner with yourself.”
The next morning, when the Queen awoke,
Suzanne told her that the ante-room was full of
visitors who had been there from day-light, and
wished to pay their homage.
“Really, Suzanne! but are they of sufficient
rank for that ?”
“Here is a list ot their names.”
The names were those of the highest nobility,
who courageously came to render homage io
persecuted royalty.
The Queen received them with a touching
kindness of manner, and reproached them mild
ly for the imprudent step they had taken. “I
thank you,” she said “and feel deeply thegener
ous exp ression of your loyalty; but I must in
sist upon your not exposing yourselves further
by remaining with me.”
The Queen’s remonstrance were useless.
Such was the zeal of enthusiasm of those who
surrounded her, that tney insisted on forming a
court in the Lion d’Argent, and it was only by
choosing four of the number that she could pre
vail on the rest to leave her.
These four persons, Suzanne, and the Cheva
lier-De Maillettes, formed the society of the
Queen who excited their admiration bv her
grace, her constant serenity and gaity, so re
markable under the circumstances in which sha
was placed.
Meanwhile the mayor and committee of pub
lic safety of Jougne sent each day to the nation
al assembly of Jougne a bulletin with a detailed
account of the manner in which the prisoner oc
cupied her time.
“To-day,” said the bulletin, “the Queen rose
at ten o’clock; at twelve she dined with a very
good appetite, with the persons who composed
her suite; after dinner her majesty wished to be
alone, she paced her chamber in a state of agita
tion, pronouncing words which we could not
catch the exact meaning of. Bourthold, who is
a man of information, pronounces them blank
verses. At three o’clock the Queen demanded
her attendants, and played a game of ‘reversis’
with the Abbe de Blanzy, the president Du Ri
oois, and Madlle Casterville ; at five o’clock
her majesty stopped playing, and conversed in
an under tone with the sai-dii ■ant cfhevalier de
Maillettes, when the conversation Ipfecame gen
eral, anil they talked gaily on fijvolbus subjects
—al eight o’clock the citizen de Mfoiret read a
lecture in a loud voice—at nine o’clock supper
was served which lasted til midnight—at twelve
the Queen retired to her apartment.”
This state ofthings lasted five days, when the
Baron de Moiret who passed a portion of his
time out of the hotel, took the Queen aside, and
said to her. “All is ready for your escape.
Our friends have re-united secretly, and a hun
dred thousand crowns are at my disposal. I
have bribed the sentinels, and at midnight a post
chaise will wait Ibryou at the end of the street.
My’ measures are taken, so that we can pass out
of the city, and across the frontier without dan
ger—to-morrow your majesty can dine at Fri
bourg.”
“No,” replied the Queen. “To-morrow I
shall set out for Besancon or for Paris; for 'tis
to-morrow the reply of the national assembly
will arrive, and tny fate will then be decided. I
have no confidence in the result, and I do not
wish to fly; it would but serve to expose my
friends to new dangers, and you liave already
done enough lor me.”
The messenger having arrived from Paris
with despatches for the authorities of Jougne,
the committee assembled and requested her ma
jesty might be present at the opening of the let
ter. This letter addressed to the mayor of Jougne
ran thus .
“Citizen—We would have you to kno v that
Maria Antoinette of Austria has not quitted
Paris; and we would recommend your setting
your prisoner at liberty, Mademoiselle Sainvaj,
actress of the Theatre Francaise, who is ex
pected at Bensancon, where she is to give sev
eral representations."
“Mademoiselle Sainval,” cried the worthies
of Jougne. "So, madame, you have teen mys
tifying us all this time!”
“Gentlemen,” replied Mademoiselle Sainval.
“I am Queen, Queen of Pontus, of Palmyra, of
Babylon, of Carthage, of Tyre, and of twenty
other Kingdoms of tragedy’. Is it,my fault it
the mayor of Jougne lias taken the diadem of
Melpomene for the crown of France? You
mystify yourselves; nothing could dispel your
absurd error, and I submitted. You wished to
raise you.selves in history, and vou have only
made yourselves ridiculous: I recommend you
lo be more circumspect in future, and, with the
permission of the national assembly, 1 will now
order post horses, resigning a part which I have
played in spite of myself; to-morrow I shall re
sume my own, only be assured the play-bill of
Besancon shall explain the cause of my delay.
Good morning g”ntlemen.”
After having given vent to tljL lively sally',
Mademoiselle Sainval turned rds her cour
tiers — <
“I owe yoti,” sa idsbe
conduct in
and by which I hoped to render service to the
august person who alone has a right to it. If
the Queen were to escape, and p?ss through here,
as it is supposed, 1 think they will be in no hur
ry to detain her. Finally, ladies, you hare not
lowered yourselves by being in my company;
though I belong to the theatre, I have noble blood
tn my veins; my name is Alziari de Roquefort,
and my family one of the most influential in the
province.”
Then addressing Monsieur de Maillettes, she
added —“As to you, chevalier, this affair may
perhaps teach you not to run foolishly after ad
ventures on the high way. I promised you a
flace at my court when 1 regained my throne;
shall keep my word, my court is the comedic
Francaise; and when you come to Paris, the
best box in it shall be at your service.”
From the Cincinnati Republican.
Anthony M ay tie.
The actions of this distinguished citizen and
successful warrior are so intimately blended
with the early history of the West, especially of
this State, that we present a few desultory re
marks on his- ancestors and early and civil life,
studiously avoiding any allusion to his splendid
military achievements as they are incorporated
in the histories of the Revolutionary war, and
the Indian wars of the west.
The ancestors of our hero resided, originally,
in Yorkshire, England. His grandfather, early
in life, emigrated to the county of it icklow,
Ireland, and commanded under King William
a squadron of Dragoons at the memorable battle
of Boyne. An ardent attachment to republican
principles prompted him in 1722, to migrate to.
North America, with his family, consisting of
four sons, all of whom were well educated in
Ireland, their native country. He purchased,
in 1724, an extensive real estate in the county
of Chester, in the State, then the Province of
Pennsylvania, a portion of which he assigned to
each of bis children.
The youngest son, Isaac, father of the Amer
ican General, was a man of vigorous intellect,
enterprise and industry. He represented, re
peatedly, the county of Chester in the Provin
cial Legislature, and as a commissioned officer
frequently distin.uished himself in expeditions
against the Indians. Aller a longlife, spent
usefully in the service of his country, be diedin
1774, leaving one son and two daughters.
This son, Anthony, whoa: life reflects such
lustre on the historical pages of ou- country,
was born in Chester county, Pennsylvania, on
the Ist of January, 1745.
Early in life, he was committed to the care*
and tuition of fils uneie, Gabriel Wayne, who
was regarded as possessing considerable erudi
tion and menial energy.
Anthony also received the notice and advice
of Dr. Franklin. He embarked nt March, 1765,
being in hi»2lstyear, for Nova Beotia, to exe
cute the arduous and responsible duties ol the
agency of a population company. He married
in the year 1767, the daughter of Mr. Bartholo
mew Penrose, an eminent met chant ol Phila
delphia, and established himself on a farm in his
native country. From this period until 1774,
he applied himself to agriculture and practical
surveying. Early in 1774, he was appointed
one of the provincial deputies who were chosen
by the different counties to take into considera
tion the alarming state ol affairs between Great
Britain and the colonies. Shortly alter, he was
elected a member of the assembly which met at
the city of Philadelphia, and whose patriotic and
spirited proceedings excited in the other States,
honorable and powerful emulation.
In the summer of 1775, he was appointed a
member of the committee of safety, associated
with Dr. Franklin, John Dickenson, and other
eminent citizens. Under the old constitution ol
Pennsylvania, which was ratified in 1776, there
was a general representative body, selected from
the towr«- and townships called the Council of
Censors, of which, in lhe first year oi the peace,
he was elected a member. The term of a Cen
sor was limited to one year, and immediately
after the expirationoi that period, he was retur
ned by his native county to a seat in the Gene
ral /Assembly of the State, in which he served
during the sessions of 1781 and ’BS.
The State of Georgia, in 1782, complimented
him with a very valuable landed estate in con
sideration of his public services, as well as to
hold out the inducement to him to become a cit
izen of that State when the war should have clo
sed. We have already alluded to his patrimo
nial property in Ins native State; being thus un
der obligations of gratitude to both these States,
he resolved to spend a portion of his time in
each. His personal attendance was thereby so
much divided betweenlhese States, that it after
watds became a question for congressional de
cision, whether his domicile was in Georgia or
Pennsylvania.
He was elected, however, by his fellow-citi
zens of Pennsylvania, in 1787, one of the mem
bers of the co tvention, which was to decide up
on the adopt-’on ofthe Constitution of the Unit
ed States. The citizens of Georgia also regard
ed him as their fellow-citizen, elected trim in
1791, a member of the United States Congress.
This election, after an animated discussion,
was set aside—upon which, President Wash
ington nominated him to the Senate of the U.
States, as Major General, and ol course Milita
ry Commander-in-Chief of the United States
Army, which was confirmed by that body; and
in April, 1792, he received his commission.
The particular object of this appointment was
to bring lo a close the war with the confederat
ed tribes of Ind*antf which had aj long aged on
the then Northwestern frontiet. ■ The successful
prosecution of this warand its glorious termin
ation, are known to almost every school boy in
the West.
Extraordinary Recognition.—One day last
week a singular circumstance occurred in
Wombwell’s Royal tnanagerie, corroborative ol
the retentive memory said to be possessed by
this most vicious oi the forest tribe--the tiger.
A sailor who had been loitering here and there
to admire, and identify some of the animals
with some of those he had seen in distant climes,
was attracted by the strange noise made by a
liger, who seemed to be irritated beyond endu
rance. Jack, somewhat ala r med, sought the
keeper to inquire the cause of so singular a dis
play of feeling, which be remarked, became
more boisterous the nearer he approached the
animal; the keeper replied that the behavior of
the tiger indicated either that he was vastly
pleased or annoyed; upon this the sailor again
approached the den, and alter gazing at the ti
ger for a few minutes, during which the animal
became frantic with seeming rage, lashing his
tail against his sides and giving utterance to the
most frightful bellowings, discovered the tiger
to be the same animal brought to England under
the especial care of the weather beaten tar. It
now became Jack’s turn to be delightecf as it
appeared the tiger was, in thus recognising his
old friend; and, after making repeated applica
tions to be permitted to enter the den tor the pur
pose, as he said, of “shaking a fist” with the
beautiful animal, lie was suffered so to do; the
iton door was opened, and in jumped Jack to
the delight ot himself and striped friend, and the
astonishment of the lookers on. The affection
of the animal was now shown by canessingand
licking the pleased sailor, whom he seemed to
welcome with the heartiest satisfaction; and
tvhen the honest tar left the den, the anguish of
the animal appeared insupportable.— English

scene in the. Reeouder’s Court, in which an hon

of drunkenness, gives the reasons, in his own
beautiful vernacular, lor tasting the intoxica
ting cup.
Recorder— (to the prisoner)—“How came you
to get so drunk?"
Sailor— “ Well, Lord love your honor, that’s
more nor I well knows. 1 met, you sees, with
an old shipmate that 1 hadn’t seen foi several
years. We went, of coutse, to take a glass ot
grog together; we then began to coin pare reck
oning and read over log-books, and while at
this, glass followed glass. Neither of us, it ap
peared, made very prosperous voyages. Sal,
my old shipmate’s sweetheart—that tie left after
him when he went on his last voyage to India,
and who promised to splice braces with him on
Ins return —cut the fastenings while he was
away, and beat out with a lubberly tailor.—
And my Bess—poor girl! with whom I hoped
to harbor for life—she didn’t run away with a
tailor—oh, no—but her timbers, your honor,
was too weak for this stormy wo:Id, and though
she was as trim anti pretty a craft as was ever
moored in a fellow’s heart, she sunk —into the
grave!—while I was on my last whaling voy
age. The telling of these things to one ano
ther, your honor, made our hearts springa leak,
like, and we took grog byway of caulking, to
stop it.”
The Recorder asked the police officer if he
was offensive, or had insulted any person. Toe
officer said he was not; but he was staggering
along the side-walk, scarcely able to walk, ana
was singing—
*‘A tar he is a jolly dog—
He loves his la»s and he likes his grog.”
“Well, then,” said the Recorder, “1 shall dis
miss him. But,” saiil he, addressing the pri
soner, “if you should be brought up again, I
shall send you to the calaboose.”
“Don’t fear that, your honor; I’ll keep a look
out ahead for breakers hereafter while I'm in tne
city. You shan’t find me hauled up again by
such a piratical-looking wrecker as this hete”
—alluding to the officer.
He then drew two dollars from the pocket of
his blue jacket, paid jail fees, and crowded sail
out of the office.

A Bird Ventriloquist.
Granville, (N. C.) May 29, 1843.
Messrs. Gales &. Seaton: On a visit to Ox
ford, in this county, a tew weeks since, I was
shown a chicken with four feet, and a terrapin
with two heads; the former, which we must
call a quadruped, and the latter a young janus,
were both in good health and doing well. But
one of the greatest natural curiosities which 1
have ever seen is a redbreast, which has taken
up its residence in the grove of Rev. Josiah
Crudup, a gentleman in whose family I arn now
living. This bird, which, in size, shape, and
colot, resembles the common redbreast, not on
ly sings very sweetly, but frequently erows like
a domestic cock. Its note generally is that of a
young cock just learning to crow, though it
sometimes sounds like old chanticleer himself,
when heard on a still morning at a distance of
about half orthree quarters ‘fa mile. But he
most singulartrait in its character appears tube
that of a ventriloquist. This was first discov
ered by Mr. Crudup, who noticed it perched on
a tree not far distant working its mouth, but
could detect no sound. He observed another
bird not far distant, which he supposed to be the
one which was singing and crowing, but has
since discoveredhis mistake. I have just been
listening to it, in company with several ot ,er
gentlemen. One moment, his voice appears to
be in one part of the grove, the next it seems to
be exactly in an opposite direction. Had these
Tacts come within the limits of my observation,
I should have felt considerable hesitancy in
spreadingthein before the public; but I will not
only pledge my honor as a Christian minister
for the truth of these statements, but can prove
them by several others who have witnessed the
same facts which I here disclose.
Yours, very respectfully, L.K. Willie.
The Two Roses.—Beingwith my friend in a
garden, we gathered each of us a rose. He han
dled his tenderly, smell of it but -eldom and
sparingly. I always kept mine lo my nose, or
squeezed it in my hand, whereby in u short time
it lost its color and sweetness, but his still re
tnained as sweet and as fragrant as if it had
been growing on its own root. The roses, said
I, are the true emblems of the best and sweete-t
enjoyment in the world, which being moderate
ly and cautiously used and enjoyed, may for a
long time yield sweetness ta the possessor of
them; but if once the affections seize to greedily
upon them and squeeze too hard, they quickly
wither in our hands, and we loose the comfort ol
them. It is a point of excellent wisdom to keep
the golden bridle of moderation upon the affec
tions.—Flavel.
gj’lt was quite amusing a day or two since,
to see a white man sawing a co,ti of wood,
while a black fellow stood looking on, w ith his
hands in his pockets, giving directions, viz:—
'“Put dat ’tick a leetle larder to <ic mi tole ob de

and saw dem bote logedder! Lipt up dal log
up, out ob de gutter. Saw away faster, you -la

longed just now stepped up and asked Pom ey
why the white man was doing the work which'
he (the black) had engaged to do! Said Pomp.
“Cause me hire him for de job.” “Ah! and
and how much do you give him?” “Four and
six pence.” How is that? You are to have
but four shillings the usual price. “Oh! nebb i
mind, it's wort sixpence tobegemman, I He will!”

Great Fire at Taunton.—We learn thro,
the Boston Mercantile Journal ol Thursday,
that a great fne occurred at Taunton, Mass., o.i
Wednesday evening, by vliich an immense
amount of property was destroyed. Ihe intel
ligence is copied into the Journal from an extra
of the Taunton Whig, which we have not seen.
The fire broke out in the dry goods store of John
O. Burt, at about half past 8 o’clock and spread
with such rapidity, says the account, "that all
the buildings on the south side of Al. in treet,
between Brewer’s block and the Crocker House,
were either consumed or destrove.: to prevent
the further ravages of the fire. Ten buildings
have been destroyed in five hours.”

MAY.
Oh, ihis is the beautiful month of May,
The season of birds and of ilowei -,
The young and the lovely are out and away
’Mid the up-springing grass and the dlossouis at play;
Oh, many a heart will be happy to-day,
In this beautiful region ot ours.
Sweet April, the frail, the capriciously bright,
Hath passed like the loveiy away :
Yet we mourn not her absence, for swift at her Hight
Sprung forth her young sister, an angel of light,
And fair as a sunbeam that dazzles the • irjit.
Is beautiful, beautiful May.
What scenes of delight, what swe. t visions she brings.
Os freshness, of gladness and mirth.
Os fair sunny glades, where the butler-cup springs,
Os cool gushing fountains, of rese-tinted wings.
Os birds, bees and blossoms, all beautiful things,
Whose brightness rejoices the earth.
How fair is the landscape ! o’er hill top and glade,
What swift-varying colors are ron- d
The shadow now sunshine, the sunshine now shade,
Their light-shifting hues for the green earth have made
A garment resplendent with dew gem-, o’erlaid —
A light-woven tissue of gold 1
Ob, yes! lovely May. the enchant inzly ir.
Is here with her beams and her Howers :
Their mini o-.i-lixe garments the biosi-n-is now wear,
And all in their health-giving odots may share,
For the breath of their sweetness is out on the air—
Those children of sunbeams and showers.
The fragrant magnolia in loveliness drest,
The lilac’s more delicate hue,
The violet half opening its azure-hued vest,
Just kissed by a sunbeam, its innocent gned.
The light-floating cloudlets, like spirits at rest,
All pictured in motionless blue—
These brighten the landscape, and softly unroll
Their splendors by land and by sea ;
They steal o’er the heart with a magic control,
That lightens the bosom and freshens the soul:
Oh I this is the charm that enhances the whole,
And makes them so lovely to rne.
How sweet when the month’s in the flush of its prime,
To hear, as we wander alone.
Some bird’s sudden song from the sweet-scented lime,
And catch the low gush of its exquisie chime,
And set it to music, and turn it to rhyme,
With a spirit as light as its own.
And sweet to recline ’neath the emerald-robed trees,
Where fairy-like footsteps have trod,
With the lull of the waters, the hum of the bees,
Melting into the spirit, delicious degrees
Os exquisite softness ! In moments’ like these
I have walked with the angels of God.
Sweet season of love, when the fairy queen trips
At eve thro’ the star-lighted grove ;
What vows are now breathed where the honey-bee sips’
What cheeks, whose bright beauties the roses e< hpse,
Are crimson'd with blushes ! What rose-tinted lips
Are moist with the kisses of love !
Yet loveliest of mouths ! with the praises I sing,
Thy glories are passing away.
With the dew from the blosso .1, the bird on the wing ;
Yet round thee a garland poetic I fling;
Sweet sister of April! young child ol tne spring I
Oh beautiful, beautiful May I

to 8750 bales, of whic h 49->0 were Upland and Florida
at s|fd) 8| cents; Z 450 Mobile at 5} fa) 9, and 1350 New

Tne news by the Acadia has not as yet had the ef

as compared with Saturday last, show some advance in
the better descriptions, and we revise our quotations to
conform.

“Havre, May 16.
The last accounts from the U. o. of the back
wardness of the season, and consequent appre
hension of a short Cotton crop lor next season,
coupled with the belter advices from Liveipool,
have produced quite an excitement ia our mar
ket, with an advance of 2 a 3f. Owing to raiiiur
umavorable advices from the interior, there has
oeen, however, less doing lor the last two days.
Yarns and goods are accumulating, and pi ices de
ciiniug, which circumstance wid tend t«» chcCA
any gradual improvement. A lot of 13U bales
Uplands was so d yesterd iy at 631, classed on lhe
4th February last, 10 bales petit courant, 60 nates
bon ord., 55 bales ord. and 5 ales ties orc; woith
at the tune 60 a 61f. Now, the loss on this tran
saction wou.d not have been greater by Selling on
arrival at the latter piices. Should the next
news from the U. S. be more explicit as to the
probability ot a short crop for 1843—’44, another
start in our prices may be expected.”
“Havre, May 17.
The market closes dull to-day, tae accounts
from the interior n«»t being altogether satisfacto
ry. The spinners being well supplied, are doing
vVcry thing in their power to prevent an advance’
Liverpool, May IS.
The business in our Cotton ma.ket has been to
considerable extent since the last steamer sailed,
p iiti ula.ly last week, with an advance of Jd per
10. in prices. Tne consumers, however, have
bought very moderately, the weight of the busi
ness having been to speculators, whose operations |
it is thought have been mainly iauuced b> the ac
counts 01 the backward season tor planting the
next Alnerican crop, and the consequent pruDabh
ity of itsprovuiga oi i.i.ashed one. The npucu
iative demand has, however, been in a great meas
ure suspended since the loth instant, when we re
ceived three weeks later accounts by the Stea.■ .er
cl the Ist instant, which, on the whole, St em io
lay less stress on lhe probable consequences of the
oac.vward season than the previous accounts, and
they also shew the continued heavy shipments
from lhe American ports to this country. >Vc at- •
tribute the check of the speculative demand to ,
these causes, and it leaves lhe market i 1 a qui. t;
if not rather languid state; but as there is slid a
i;>ir extent of business going on, say about oUOO
oak s per day and not near so large a quantity pres
sing on the market as was the case some weeks
ago, the above advance is just sustained, though
it would not b? possible to sell largely without
submitting to some reduction. The business tor
tne weekended sth instant amounted to 41,2.0
bales, of which 12,000 were taken on speculation
and 3000 iorexport, and for the week endtd icth
instant the sales were 40,600 bales, ot which 32,-
000 were to speculatorsanu 1000 f r export.
Os the latter week’s business 6070 were Upland
at 3i a 5g ; 26,900 Orkans at 31 a 6$ ; 7760 Ala
bama anu Mobile al 3| a 5 ; and 140 dea island
at 7} a 20d pci lb.
'l he transaclio is for five clays to this evening
are estimated at about 20,000 oaks, of which a- |
bout 9000 h%vc been tai-.un on specula Jun, chief
ly die Iwo first days. We quote Upland 3« a of,
lair 4|; Mobile 3| a SA, laii ; Orleans 3A a bi,
fair 4 ;; and Tennessee and Alabama 3| a 4£u p v i
lb. The winds have been unfavorable for a.riv
als for more than t< n days, keeping out many
cotton s«’ips now past due; but the slock in this
port is about 70j,060 bales, against b~b,ouU to
same period last season. The s .oc* of American
is about 592,000, being an increase oj 16u,i00
bales. Trade at Manchester is thought (o bv ra
thei icss active than sometime ago, out stln in a
satis actory state, with moderate stocks 01 Goous
and Yarns.
Liverpool, May 18.
Since we last addressed you, cution has at
tracted tile attention of speculators, who bought,
du/ing one week, 31,700 oales; but as the t.aoeiiid
not take even their usual supply, the auvance was
by no means general. As the speculation was
founded on the chance of a reduced crop next
year, it effected most the infuiior qualities, and
American Cotton before wu. ih only 2fu, sold at
3{-d per ib, the advance diminishing as the quali
ty improved. Alter the ariival of the steame. our
market became more quiet and seemed inclined
t > give way, out has since again become firm.—
The luture course of our market must in a mea
sure depend upon theacc. u is we receive oi the
prospect of the coming crop, and of the exports
to Great Britain. According to the accuun’s just
received, and calculating the crop at 2 00 m., there
remains 100 m. a 700 m. bales oi the last crop
sii.l undisposed of; the exports to Great ihitain
being aheady 1111 m. bales; if we recd re apr -
poi donate quantity of tne remainder our market
vs ill have dinicuity in sustai/.ing so laigc an ex
cess bf supply over consumption. Th. sale of
Sea Island Cotton went off very heavily, most of
i' bJ.;g withdrawn; the large quantity offered has
had a bad effect on our market. Prices rre fully
id per lb lower than they were two m m hs ago.
The demana for stained is interfere., with by the
very low price of Egyptian; really prime stained
is saleable.
In Manchester the demand for goods for export
continues, but there is no imther improvement
in the home trade; the Yarn market also contin
ues dull, and the large proportion us Goods and
yarns which are now barely covering themselves,
has a tendency to check any i npr Yemeni in the
price of the raw mataiial. To th? 12th inst., the
import of Cotton was, 1843, 818,700 : ales; 1-42
625,261 bale£. Stock, 1843, 73i?OU; 181., 6.7,800
bales. Taken tor consumption, 1843, 465,.19
bales; weekly 24,434 bales; 184., 397,800 bales,
we kiy 20,937 bales. Expo.t, 1313. 23 0/0 bales;
1842, ’~8,650 bales. Speculation, 1843, 101. -CO
bdus; 1842, 59,800 bales. Since that dak, the
sales have been 27,500 bales, 9.50 bales of which
were on speculation, and 600 bales for export.—
Import, 24,722 bales. Our market closes very
firmly, particularly in the lower qualities.

We cut lhe following from a late number oithe
Providence Journal, and are informe . it is from
the pen of a lady 01 distinguished reputation:
Dll. McMUNN’S ELIXIJ OF OPIUM.
Oh, Doctor McMunn, dear Doct r McMunn,
Without your Elixir, what should 1 have done ?
And I’ve no h sitaiiun, now I’ve begun,
To say that Dame Nature had never a son
So favored 01 Heaven, so wise as this one ;
’Twoulo be capital mn—
Forgive the bad pun—
If some of his Opium were sent to Canton.
J suffered by night, and I stiff red by day,
Till tiiis blessed Elixir was thrown in a.y way;
And I never shall cease lor the Doctor tu pray,
Till these eyes- have grown dim, md this hair has
grown grey ;
For I never dared hope that this body of clay,
Could ever be propped in such masterly way ;
And now I will say,
To be sick is but play,
While Dr. McMunn is my hope and my stay.
And I speak quite in earnest, and nothing in fun.
When I say, that ol all DoCtuis under tne sun,
That glory, anu h moi, and riches, h ivu won,
Hace olu Father Time on his mcu-h use has run,
Thereis not one equal to Ductoi McMunn;
No, , ot one in twenty,
With npstiums a plenty,
Could do hau the goad his Elixir has done.
’Tis good for a fever, and good for a cold ;
’Tis good for the young, and good for the old
’'j is good ft.; the li.i.id, .11(1 good lor the ;ok ; *
The hall of its virtues have never been told.
’Tis better than silver, and better than gold;
’Tis the very best medicine that ever was sold;
’Twill put you to skep,
In a Bl umber so d. ep
You u ill not b roused by the voice of a scold.
I’ve no doubt in my mind, it has saved many
lives
As I know it prolonged that of old Dr. Ives;
Froniiis use, Dr. Hulse, too, affirms he derives
Such rtliel, that e’en in consuinpti.m he thriv s.
W hata pity it had not been known to poor Liv«.s I
The one who in Hades unceasingly strives,
With his thirst and his anguish, he would not so
soon
Have cried out for water,
Which tie hadn’t oughteb
Expect, any more than the Man in the Moon.
‘Tis strange that so many a learned M. D.
So veiy unwise and uns ilful will be,
As to use the Morphine when it does not agree
With the nerves 01 one haifof the people we see,
And when Dr. McMui 11 to thcii use is sofiee
L.h sav ns and s w .11 dmt listen to me,
A lesson I’d teach,
Ot importance to each,
How this anodyne suits every ill to a T.
I have tested its virtues when horribly blue,
And well do 1 know all the good it can do—
How soon it wfil ease when a man’s in a stew ;
And Iv’e only to say, that I wish people knew
What wonders it works in the Tic Doloreaux,
And how soon it rellexes Hysteria too;
How it works likeacharm,
And never does harm,
And makesone feel so delightfully calm.
13* The reader will observe by reference to our
adve.rising columns that Messis. Haviland, Ris
ley ik Co have this charming medicine for sale.

ire imposed upon in consequent e. These imitu

unskilful mechanics, and are no better than the
irdinary trusses.
Be careful when purchasing Trusses purporting
to be Hull’s, to examine lhe back pad of Hull’s
Trusses, to seeil they are endorsed by Dr. Hull in
writing. None ate genuine, or to be relied upon
as good, without the signature of Amos G. Hull.
