A SERMOS
Pbuohkd in St. PdePs Protestant Episcopal
Church for Seamen. New Orleans. November
25. 1349, by Rev- Charlks W. Whitau., (Epis
copalian )
1. Con. 1. 20 —“ Where is the wise 7 where is the
serf!. 7 where is the disputes of this world 1 Hath
not God made foolish the wisdom of Ibis world 7”
From the time of the conversion of this great
Apostle, when he was on his way from Jeru
salem to Damascus, breathing out threatening*
and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord,
nothing could exceed his devotion, zeal, energy
and perseverance. No sooner was he relieved
by Annanias, from the blindness which struck
him, when he was arrested in the career of
blood and vengeance, by the solemn question,
“ Saul, Saul, why nersecutestthou tne 7” lan
he straightway preached Christ in the syna
gogues, affirming that be was the Son of God.
Driveu from Damascus by the persecution
of the Jews who thirsted for hie blood and
“ took counsel to kill him, he travelled througlt
out nearly all Palestine, preaching boldly in the
name of the Lord Jesus Christ, establishing
and organizing Christian Churches. From
Palestine he proceeded through Syria to Mace
donia, and while he was in Greece, visited
Athens and Corinth, and many other parts of
that celebrated country of antiquity.
Guided and protected by the providence of
God who had raised him up for a special pur
pose, be at last reached Rome, after enduring
persecutions, fatigue, labor, anxiety and dan
ger. in every form and shape, by land and by
sea, under which, human nature must have
succumbed, unless sustained in a special man
ner, by the grace of God.
The original Apostles who accompanied our
Redeemer during his short but eventful minis
try on this earth, were illiterate men, unknown
to fame and called from the lowest class of so
ciety. Si. Paul, on the contrary, was by binh
a Pharisee, the sect which constituted the no
bles in Jerusalem, similar to the Patricians in
Rome. Educated a lawyer under the tni
t'oo of the ablest masters, he was also skilled in
several languages, and in all the learning
drawn from Egypt, Chaldea, and the east gen
erally, that from the time of Moses, had been
gradually accumulating in Jerusalem, enrich
ing and swelling the Jewish records.
- —Under these circumstances, audgAdteover,
gifted with a mind of no ordinary frnwer, and
being a profit nd logician; it is nowonder that
he was deemed worthy of being admitted into
controversy with the ablest philosophers of
Greece, who could not but admire his talents
and learning, although they might despise and
reject the religious doctrines which he taught
with such ability and zeal.
The Sacred History informs us that, while
Paul waited at Athens for Timotheus, and Silas,
“ his spirit was stirred within him, when he
saw the whole city given to idolatry.’’—
“ Therefore disputed be in the synagogues with
Jews, and with devout persons, and in the mar
ket daily, with them that met with him.”
His fame could not be limited to the market
place, it soon reached the academic groves and
philosophical halls, as we learn from this very
interesting history. Then certain philosophers
of the Epicureans and Stoics encountered
him.” Paul finding, however, that he could
make but little impression in Athens, where the
pride of reason and philosophy, were too po
tent for even bis powerful reasoning and burn
ing eloquence, he departed from among them.
Passing over the admirable episde to the Ro
mans, we come to our text, which is part of
an epistle to the Corinthians, from Philippi.
That the text may be well understood, [ shall,
in the first place, present you with a brief analy
sis of some of the words which it contains.
‘•Where is the wise 1” We have ample
reason to believe, that while in Athens and
other cities of Greece, Bt. Paul became ac
quainted with all the different schools of
philosophy whic 1, at that time flourished.—
The original Greek word from which “wise”
is translated, is sophos. It is important to
know this, because the word philosophy is
derived from it, signifying literally, a lover of
wisdom. But this is not the sense in which
the Apostle employed the term sophos. He
evidently alluded to a class of teachers which
flourished in Greece in the fifth century be
fore the Christian era, who had assumed the
name of Sophists at the instigation of learned
pride. The most celebrated for talents and
eloquence among them were contemporary
with Pericles and Socrates. Brilliant as the
Sophists appear when viewed as men acquain
ted with all the learning of their age, and suc
cessfully extending its limits, they were at the
same time deserving of abhorrence, for the un
blushing effrontery with which they set them
selves up for the sole possessors of all wisdom,
human and divine.
Thi • abused their knowledge to gratify their
avark-' ad preached irreligion and immorali
ty—au. ning whatever was held dear and
sacred by the people. They denied the exist
ence of any God. and attributed every thing
to chance, and all religion to the invention of
some artful individual.
With such vices, such bold and daring infi
delily, and such pride, all abominations iu the
sight of a Holy God—and in view of the aw
ful judgments which the inspired prophets of
the Most High had threatened against such
doctrines and practices, well might the Apos
tle ask,“Whore is the wise 7” On what foun
dation does he standi What hope can be en
tertain 1 What are his prospects for eterni
ty!
‘1 he next question alludes to the scribes.—
“Where is the scribe f” These were men
high in authority, and of great repute amongst
the Jaws. Their duty was to write down
what was spoken by the inspired prophets,
and to preserve the records with the greatest
possible care. They ranked amongst the
princes of Israel. In the First Book ofKings,
4th chapter, we read—“Bo Solomon was king
over all Israel. And these were the princes
which he had: Azariah the son of Zadock the
priest: Elihoreph and Ahiah, the sone of Shi
«ha. scribes."
Now let us see what our Lord says of this
privileged class, which ranked next to the
high priest—“ Then spake Jesus to the multi
tude and to his disciples, saying, the Scribes
and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat; all there
fore whatsoever they bid you observe, that ob
serve and do, but do not ye after their works;
for they say, and do not. They bind heavy
burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them
on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will
not muve them with one of their finger.
But all their works they do for to be seen of
men; make broad their phylacteries, and en
large the borders oftheir garments; and l ive
the uppermost rooms at leasts, and their chief
seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the
markets, and to be called of men. Rabbi, rab
bi"—which signifies master. And again—
"Wo unto you, Scribes an i Pharisees, hypo
crites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaien
against men; for ye neither go in yourselves,
neither suffer ye them that are entering to go
in. Wo unto you Scribes and Pharisees, hy
pocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and
for a pretence make long prayers; there! r«
ye shall receive the greater damnation. Wo
unto you Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
for ye compass sea and land to make one
proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him
two fold more the child of hell than your
selves."
This is bat a small par’ of the fearful de
uunciatioiu that issued from the lips of <>nr
Lord, a* recorded in the 23d chapter of 8t
Matthew’s Gospel. And how great, how ag
gravated. must have been the iniquity and in
fidelity which extorted from the mild, the mer
ciful and compassionate Saviour, such a
scathing rebuke!
Having shown who the Scribes were, and
what was their character, we can readily un
deretaud that the question, “Where is the
Scribe 7” baa the same significant meaning as
the preceding. “Where is the wise!”
Having for the present disposed of these
two classes, we come to the third which is ihe
last to be considered under the first head of this
discourse
“Where is the dispnter of this world!" It
is very probable that the Apostle here alludes
to the disciples of Pyrrho, the fouuder of the
ancient skeptical school. He left no writings;
but from the works of his followers, we le.ren
tbe peculiar principles of his school of philoso
phy They admitted nothing, they doubled
every proposition, observing, what you say
may or may not b* true. They strove rather
to overthrow other philosophical structures,
than to build up one of their own. In thia
eeose they were literally lira disputers of the
age is winch they lived, as they denied every
thing, and disputed inch by meh tbe progress
which other philosophers were making in wis
dam and natural science. This is a most dan
gerous form of infidelity, and it was particu
larly so with this class, as while they account
ed all knowledge utterly useless, they consid
ered virtue alone as valuable.
But there was another sect to whom St.
Paul may have alluded: the Dogmatists, who
kept society in an uproar with never-eeasiiig
contention*. As the Pyrvhonist* were calm
acd placid in their demeanor, the Dogmatists
were bold, forward and clamorous, sneering
ai wtmi they could not rafale, and ridiculing
what they did no: care to understand. These
were probably the person* of whom it is writ
ten iu the 18th verse of the 17th chapter of the
Acts of the Apostles, after the encounter of
the Apostle with the Stoic* and Epicureans—
“ And some said, what will this babbler say 7"
—condemning him before they had fairly beard
him.
Il i* then evident, that tbe three classes spt.k
,h* ,exl “ '*'• Wise, tbe Scribe, and
the Dispnter of thia world, were either by ptu
cruse or *v owed iufidele; men puffed up with
lh «p , ‘d* of human reawn, reiving on their
aolf-rigbteoesae** and .» Steeled by prejudice
and blinded by vanity, as to be tmpervmus to
the glorious light ol train, which the Apo.tle
W M dashing upon their mental vision. We
lean, from hiwory. that from the time 3t. Paul
lived, sock men have ever existed—the avow
ed ewemrts of God and his Son leva- Christ,
end oi the holy religion which is contained in
the Old. but especially in the New Testament;
and such will always be the case, until alt mun
kind abait be converted and reconciled to
God, by true repentance towards Him, and
pare.siacore and active faith in the blessed
Redeemer
Having disposed of ear first point of inqui
ry. I proceed to remark, that reason is, in the
<?»**,hcatmn of living entities on this earth,
the distinguishing feature of man. But it ean
be eastlv shown, that it alone w no safe guide
for mam a* a free or moral agent. An artsy
ol piulosophers and learned mao might he
cited, who have affirmed that reason was *uffi
c«*M to devise for the whale human nee. a.
Standard of morality, and a system of faith —:
What evidence have we of it! Nene, abac
tateir non* In Cteero'e celebrated work. Dt
N.twns Dsontm. (of the oarer* of God) in
which he reviews all the systems and creed* ot
the sages at d phito*opb*r* of antiquity, there
is a fair op: ortaeity es estimating what, at that
period of i e world reason wga able to acm-rn
Montaigne, an eminent French writer of the
last century, observes io the first volume of
his essays, that the said work of Cicero p-c
sentssueh a chaos of contradictions and absur
dities. that any man of common sense living
in modern times, could not but blush to think
that such degrading and disgusting nonsense
had ever been inculcated under the sacred
garb of philosophy and reason ; and allusion
is here made to what was taught in the schools
of philosophy to the favored lew, and not to
the superstitious belief of the multitude.
If this entrenchment of the sufficiency of
reason be carried, we .ball probably be told
that man is governed by the law of nature,
which, it is affirmed, is an unerring and all- >
sufficient guide for man. It is admitted that
the law of nature governs in the mere animal,
in the vegetable, in the mineral and chemical
departments. The laws of nature are fixed
and certain, and if man were under such laws,
he would act with all the certainty that apper
tains to the inferior classes. But such is not
the case. What is pronounced to be evil in
one country, is considered lawful and proper
in another; what is deemed a high virtue
among savages, is abhorred as a vice in civil
ized society.
Amongst the Spartans, the act of stealing :
was not considered in itself wrong, provided
it was concealed; it only became a moral of
fence when discovered. Was it reason, or a
law of nature, that impelled certain people of
old to sacrifice their children by fire to Mo
loch, an imaginary deity 7—or another na
tion, boasting of high civilization, to expose
old and infirm persons to perish amidst the
storms of heaven, on the bleak crest of some
sterile mountain! Was it reason, or a law of
nature, that dictated the exposure of deformed
infants on rugged, solitary hills, to be devour
ed by wolves or vultures !
Again, is there any law of nature which
sanctions the practice of Hindoo mothers, who
throw their tender offspring into the voracious
jaws of crocodiles, who are ever prowling sul
lenly along the shores of the sacred Ganges
awaiting their prey !
In fact, whatever the good disposition of
enlightened men, and lhe evil propensities and
ignorance of other men, (who recognize no
other law than the law of nature) incline them
to do, is to them the dictate oi the law of na
ture. But this confounds all distinction be
tween right and wrong, and between virtue
and vice
So absurd is such a belief in a philosophical
point of view, that the celebrated Jean Jac
ques Rousseau, who did not believe in revela
tion, preferred instinct to reason, as being
more certain in its operations; and for the
same cause he advocated the savage, in pre
ference to civilized life.
It is conceded that amongst lhe ancient
philosophers, there were some few amiable
and virtuous men, who had an indistinct be
lief, (probably handed down by tradition,) in
the unity of the God-head; yet their doctrines,
and teachings, and influence had very little ef
fect even on their immediate followers; on the
mass of the population, none whatever.—
With them, the reign of ignorance, idolatry,
superstition, and sensual gratification remain
ed undisturbed, until the Sun of Righteous
ness, with healing in hie wings—overpower
ing the darkness of ages, and scattering the
mists and dreams of error, folly, and super
stition—arose, to cheer, purify, regenerate
and redeem the moral and religious world.
Il is proper also to remark, that iu our days
there are professed unbelievers in Revelation,
who are nevertheless amiable and honest, true
and just men, so far as they can be judged by
their fellow-men. But for one such, there will
be found a hundred who are open to all the
denunciations of our Lord against the workers
of iniquity—men who are perverse and obdu
rate, rebels against the authority of heaven,
who are plungeddeep in vice and crime, and
enemies to the human race, as well as of God
the Father, and the Eternal Son.
You see, then, brethren, most clearly, that
unassisted, reason never was sufficient to pro
mote morality on earth; or to turn a sinner
from the error of bis way ; or to devise a ra
tional and efficient system of faith; and we
have abundant reason to believe that such will
ever be the case. What follows! The ne
cessity of a revelation from God. Hear what
the Apostle says—“For after that in lhe wis
dom of God the world by wisdom knew not
God, it pleased God by the foolishness of
preaching (that is, the Gospel) to save them
that believe.”
And this leads me in the last place to the
consideration of lhe latter part of the text —
“Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of
this world!"
Whenever men in any age of the woild.
and in any part thereof, have rejected the
heavenly light, they have invariably blunder
ed on iu ever-increasing darkness, plunged
into all kinds of sin and iniquity, become m re
and more alienated from God their Heavenly
Father, and more assimilated to lhe brute < re
atioft—impulses of fierce passions go ver ring
them far more often than the suggestion;- of
reason, until the pleadings and monitions ..nd
checks of conscience, that heavenly moni> >r,
which may be called the representative of
Deity in the soul of man, becomes totally un
heeded. When this downward point is rea :h
--ed—and there is great danger of its being
reached by every unconverted sinner that per
sist. in rebellion against the authority of the
Almighty—l shudder at the contemplation of
the impending doom The door of mercy
may then be closed ; the day of grace so long
misspent, may return no more; prayers and
tears and sighs may no longer avail; lhe Holy
Spirit may have taken its everlasting flight;
there may be remorse, but not repentance
But t stop, for the picture is too painful to
dwell upon, the fate too terrible to trace to its
consummation Do we not now all see mid
comprehend, what me Apostle means when
he puts the question —“Hath not God made
foolish the wisdom of this world!” In other
words, does not the finite wisdom of man ap
pear as folly, when compared with the infinite
wisdom of the Eternal God !
We have seen what human wisdom, unen
lightened by Divine Truth, has been able to
accomplish for the happiness of man. The
scene from age to age is one dark, monoton
ous and melancholy picture of man created in
the image of God, totally alienated from his
Creator; worshipping idols the workmanship
of his own hands | debauched in morals: a
prey to temptation; and greedy and reckless
in sensual gratification.
What has the wisdom of this world taught
us respecting its origin, our duty, our true al
legiance. our final destiny! It leaves the
darkness of midnight to brood over the whole
subject.
Man is by nature a religions being. lie has
(siiperadded to others) a religious instinct.—
He baa a craving after immortality. He will
worship something in the heavens, on lhe
earth, or in the sea; human wisdom will here
lead him astray. The philosophy of this world
will only perplex and confound him. and
make him more restless in the contemplation
of the mysteries and absurdities to which he
clings, although he cannot comprehend them,
and they cannot satisfy him.
What consolation does human reason or hu
man philosophy oiler to the afflicted mourner,
who stands beside the yawning grave that is
about to receive the mortal remains of all that
was so fondly loved on earth 1 How cold,
how gloomy, how hideous that grave, which
to the unbeliever proclaims eternal sleep—
eternal separation!
.Man cannot minister to such deep rooted
sorrow, nor pluck from memory the harrow
ing thought—Gone! gone! gone I for ever!
Alaa! that dear being Iso much loved, who
was the sold, the life, lhe idol of my earllilv
paradise, I shall see no more—commune with
no mere.
Brethren, it is not strange that men possess
ed of such strong natural affections, and who
can derived no comfort from systems us hu
man philosophy, to cheer them under such
deep atSictiou as for a time almost unseals
reason, —is it not strange. I repeat, that such
should refuse the proffered mercy of God
through our Lord Jesus Christ—the pardon of
all their sins—that sweet peace which the
world can neither give nor take away—that
heavenly consolauon, that is more than balm
to the bleeding heart and shattered brain 7
The blessed Saviour has said, “Ye will not
come unto me. dial ye may have life ” It is
100 true, we see instances of it every day.
What can be the cause of such strange delu
sion t Pride—Pride is the stumbling-block.
The Apostle, in the chapter from which the
text is taken, observe* distinctly, “that the
world by wisdom, knew not God;" from
which he argues the necessity of revelation
and preaching. •’ For the Jews require a sign,
and the Greeks seek after wisdom; but we
preach Christ crucified, unto the Jew* a stum
bling-block, and unto tbe Greeks foolishness ;
but unto them which are called, both Jews and
Greeks. Christ the power of God, and the
wisdom of God." The pride af-tfte JewPw.nr
most signally mortified by the birth of Jesus
Christ in a manger, by the poverty in which he
lived, after he commenced his public ministry,
by the low standing in society of his disciphrs
and immediate followers. They expected a
Messiah who would gratify their natural pnde,
by universal conquest, by a splendor far ex
ceeding Solomon * of whose kingdom there
should be no sod.
Equally was the pride of the Greek, aroused
at the idea of being taught philosophy by a
despised Jew. Brethren, until this pride' i*
completely conquered, and superseded by
humility, the preaching of the Gospel will be
to you. either a stumbling-block or foolishness.
Yon will remain in error, in darkness, in sin,
until, when you least expect it and without
the lightest preparation, you will depart ibis
life, to stand your chance without a Redeemer,
Mediator, or Advocate, before the tribunal of
your deeply offended and insulted Judge.
Have you thought of this issue! Are you
prepared tor it t If not at present, God grant
chat yon may be. ere it is too late.
In conclusion, i will briefly consider the
way in which God has made foolish the wis
dom of this world. We have already seen
that human reason and philosophy, have offer
ed no system of faith in morals or religion,
that can satisfy the cravings of the immortal
soul; or illumine the darkness and unveil tbe
mystery, in which the fate of our never-dying
•oul is involved
Revelation however, is equal to the task,
and carries us far beyond our fondest and
wildest conjectures. Instead of an “ un
known G»d"—tbe inscriptiou on an altar in
Athens—Revelation tells us of a Supreme

Bascoh’s Eloquenok.—lt was a day of ex
ceeding beauty, that last Sunday in May, 1832
—a day of soft balmy air, and sunshine bright
and glorious as the smile of a god. Before ten
o’clock everv pew and every seat in the spa
cious church was filled to overflowing. The
whole population of Lawrenceborough, a
lovely little town on the Ohio river, in Indiana,
appeared to have turned out to hear “thegreat
orator” from Lexington, whose fame had trav
elled in advance of his coming. Il was his
first visit to that State, and heuce the general
anxiety to witness his effort. All eyes were
turned to the door and (as the winged minutes
flew away) with many signs of disappoint
ment, as no one entered to answer the circum
stantial description of his person which had the
previous day been published in the papers.
The hour of eleven arrived, and the well
known parsun of the station began the devo
tional exercises by singing and prayer. At
this the token of vexation increased with all, and
with a portion of the audience, so far as to a
mount to positive rudeness “ What!” they
wispered to each other half aloud, “is it only
old Allen Wiley who is going to hold forth
after all !”
At length the prayer was ended, and Parson
Wiley resumed his seat, when a form hitherto
concealed by the mahogany front of the pul
pit, suddenly emerged from behind it, and
stood fur more than two minutes erect, silent,
and motionless as a statue. At this apparition
every individual in the immense throng started
and every heart thrilled with a nameless emo
tion—it so struck the senses, and there was
such eloquence in his attitude, his immobility,
nay in his very silence.
His figure was of perfect symmetry; his
features of classic mould ; his brow pure Gre
cian in its outlines,, and surrounded with a fine
circle of jet black hair. His countenance
seemed intensely intellectual, without the slight
est perceptible trace of animal passion; but
his eyes n the moment, were dreamy, expres
sionless. and seton empty space, as if he were
totally unconscious of any presence other,
than the ideal of his own deep thoughts. His
dress was of the richest cioth, and made in the
latest eut of the fashion. If it had a fault, one
might say it was loaded with two glittering
a profusion of ornaments for good taste.
Presently he raised his right hand with a ges
ture of impetuous haste ; and pressed his fin
gers on his pale forehead, as if to assist the
brain in its mighty labors of thought ; and then
instantly announced his text from the book of
Revelations—“ Behold! I make all things new.”
Without preface or apology—those flimsy
crutches of lame preachers—he pierced at
once into the heart of his subject, and then
took wings and flew away on a whirlwind of
fiery words. His voice from the commence
ment, rolled, and pealed, and rang like the
beautifully modulated music of some won
drous organ, alternating with crashes of tre
menduous power that seemed to jar the walls
of the building as if an avalanch were rushing
out of lhe clouds. Now it sunk to a wild wail,
mellow and plaintive as a funeral chime; again
it swelled to the steady roar of a hurricane, if
a hurricane indeed could be attuned to such
octaves of harmony; and then it would break
out in successive thunder claps, causing the
very hair to rise on the hearer’s head, and the
warm marrow to creep,as it were, in its bones.
The effect was aided too, by the orator’s ges
ticulation—now gracefully as the airy circles
of a butterfly in the air; and anon, grand to
sublimity, and urgent as the swoop of the ea
gle climbing lhe heights of the storm cloud.
His eye—al the outset, as we have said, dim
and dreamy—now burned, and flashed, and
lightened, till, aided by the allusions of fancy
and lhe scene it appeared to dart arrows of
flame around the assembly.
As the mighty magician went on, the entire
multitude seemed charged with electricity.
Here and there single individuals began to
rise involuntarily to their feet ; then rose by
twos and threes ; next a dozen sprang up at
once ; and finally, lhe whole living, throbbing,
enthusiastic mass might be seen stand
ing as one man, with fixed, straining eyeballs,
devouring tne speaker with a gaze , with half
parted lips, and teeth clenched by attention.
The excitement was measureless, and yet too
profound for any species of utterance. Not a
sigh, not a whisper was beard. Nothing could
be heard save the voice of the orator; and du
ring the intervals of his pauses the fall of a pin
would have been audible.
His subject 100, was unique as his manner.
His theme was—“ The future eternity of mat
ter; its natural capacity for indefinite and glo
rious changes ; and lhe possible splendor of the
new heavens and earth.” His method of dis
cussion was purely rational and scientific—
that is to say, by analysis. A lew of his inim
itable touches linger in my recollection to the
present hour He inferred the beauty of
which all. even the coarsest matter t» eepable,
from the following illustration :
"Chemistry, with its fie tongue of the gal
vanic battery teaches that the starry diamond
m the crown of kings, and the black carbon
which the peasant treads beneath his feet, are
both composed of the same identical elements,
analysis also proves that a chief ingredient in
limestone is carbon. I'hen let the burning
breath of God pass overall the limestone of
earth, and bid its old mossy layers chrystallize
into new beauty ; and Io! at the Almighty fiat,
the mountain ranges flash into living gems,
with a lustre that renders midnight noon, and
eclipses all the stars !”
He urged the same view by another exam
ple still better adapted to popular apprehen
sion.
“ Look yonder," said the impassioned ora
tor, pointing with a motionless finger towards
the lofty ceiling, as if it were the sky. “See
that wrathful thunder cloud—the fiery bed of
the lightnings and hissing hail—the cradle of
tempests and floods I What can be more
dark, more dreary, more dreadful 7 Say,
scoffing sceptic, is it capable of any beanty 7
You pronounce, ‘ No.’ Well, very well ;
but behold, while the sneering denial curls your
proud lips, the sun with hie sword oflight shears
through the sea of vapors in the west, and laughs
in your incredulous face with his fine golden eye
Now, look again at the thunder cloud ! See
where it was blackest and fullest of gloom, the

Export, to Caidronm*.—-The New York
Herald publishes a list of articles exported
from that port to California during the year
1849, and the first two months of tbe present
year. It stales that the amount of merchan
dize sent from New York alone will realize
in that region not lees than fifteen millions of
dollars —a sum a little beyond the whole amount
of gold hitherto received from California. In
the list published by the Herald, tbe parts of
Houses are numbered by thousands. In build
ing materials there are some large items. Over
four millions of feet of lumber are classed in
one of these; and over a million of shingle*
in another item. Besides these, two hundred
thousand “pioees” and fifty thousand “pack
_ages" of the former, and a thousand 'bnndjf *“
ot the latter are noted Timber, dressed
boards, lath*, joist*, brick and all other de
scriptions of building materials are found in
large item*. Six hotels, ten complete store*,
nine ten-pin alleys, three hundred and seventy
two frame houses, fifty-nine iron house*, seven
portable house*, twenty-nine galvanized iron
houses, one large galvanized iron shop, and
axMacredible number of parts of houses, both
afteood and of iron have been sent forward
The exports of Brandy end other liquors,
and also of bread have oeen large. On com
paring the list of exports far 1846 with that for
the two month* past, we find that the increase
bas been, on the average, very considerable,
and that the wants of the Californians are call
ing out articles which were little thought of in
the first excitement of this great commercial
agitation. “In fact,” says the Herald, “judg
ing from the whole point de two furnished by
this list of exports, we have reason to believe
that tbo Californians are determined to sustain
all the habits, tastes, feelings, enterprise, and
all tbe concomitants of civilization, in their
love for pork. bean*. Connecticut broom*,
and sarsaparilla.”
Boston, too, continue* to send large quanti
ties of almost every description of merchan
dize to tbe land of gold, while her exports of
lumber and building materials to the same des
tination rival those of New York in variety and
number. From the 25th ult. to the 10th inst.,
inclusive, the quantity of lumber sent out, ac
cording to the JonruoL was 2.423.500 feel; of
shingle*. 1,591.790; of clapboard*. 54 980 feet,
and 599 packages; of timber, 185,000 feet; of
laths, 100.800, besides 600 bandies; and of
bricks. 340,100. Besides these, we notice a
large quantity of parts of house frames, and
of doors, windows window-frames, &c , dtc.
Two large bouses, complete, are also among
the items.
The whole number of vessels of all classes
cleared from the Atlantic ports of the Union
for California, from February 19ih to March
llth. inclusive, is 56. of which 15 were ships,
15 were barques, 16 were brigs. 8 were schoo
ners and 2 were steamships. Os these clear

The recent Annual Report of lhe Eastern
(Mass.) Railroadshows that the whole number
of passengers carried over the road and its
branches, during the year 1849, has been
1,049 114, from whom an income of $404,061.-
68 has been received. From 70,348 tone of
freight ou the road and its branches, the in
come has been $63,912,79. Tne parcel post
has yielded an income of $6 489,28 ; the U.
S. mail, $8,434, other matters $8,345,92. —
The income of the property of the Road has
been $26,085 52—making the whole income of

leaving a net income of $333,948,97. Os
this amount, $285,430.08 has been applied to
interest and dividends. The actual surplus

been regularly eight per cent, per annum.
Useful Invention,—-The New York Tribune
peaks of a new box for railroad car wheels,
which, it is said, overcomes many of the disad
vantages of those now in general use. It re
quires, we are told, neither oil nor grease, and
never heats; and the fusion is so slight that a
car furnished with them and loaded with iron,
was easily moved by one man ; while, with lhe
common boxes, the strength of six men would
have been required. Several railroad compa
nies are experimenting for the purpose of
thoroughly testing the invention.

CHARLESTON, March22.—loMon —The Col
ton market, just prior to the date of our last report,
was very quiet; the fair and fully fair qualities, at the
time, were nominally worth ilf a 11 )c. The mar
ket presented no new feature on Friday last—the
first day of the week under review—the transactions
having been confined to a few hundred bales; on
Saturday, however, a good deal of attention was
drawn towards the article, and the sates during the
day were rather extensive than otherwise, and hold
ers obtained prices they were unable to realize on the
previous day. A good demand also prevailed on
Monday, and prices were further strengthened and
even stimulated by favorable accounts from the New
York market, and at the close of business on that day
the market was reported belter, prices having rallied
about }c. from the lowest point of the preceding week.
On Tuesday the market again relapsed into a quiet
state, owing to the stringent demands of sellers. On
Wednesday, however, some few of them yielded a
point and a mo 1 erat el y fair business was done at a
shade reduction. Yesterday the trans actions were
again limited, owing in part to the unpleasant fctate
of the weadier, but more particularly to the position
which holders generally assumed in relation to prices.
Having obtained an advance in the early part of the
week, they have struggled from day to day to sus
tain the market, which has materially inter fared
with operations. Prices wre unsettled towards the
close of the week, but the subjoined quotations will '
approximate as near as possible to the present value
o* the article. Th * transactions of the week may be
summed up at 7,259 bates, against the receipt iu the
same time of 5,170 bales. The sales were 216 bales
at 10} ; 35 at 10 9 16; 115 at 10} ; 34 at 10 11-16;
402 at 10} ; 100 at 10 13-16; 856 at 10}; 1,141 at

Ilf; 664 at Hi; 496 at Ilf; 526 at Ilf; 336 at
11}; 716 at 12; and 30 bales at 12} cts. We quote
ordinary to good ordinary 10} a 10} ; middling to
good middling 10} all}; middling fair 11} a 11} ;
lair and lolly fair 11) a 12; and good fair and choice
12} cents. There has been a very fair demand for
the different descriptions classed under the head ol
Long Cotton at about the prices paid the previous
week. The sales foot up about 500 bales.

Rice.— There has been a fair demand for the dif
ferent qualities of this article during the week. The
transactions have been at extremes ranging from 2}
to S3} per hundred pounds; the bulk of the sales,
however, ha vs been made within the range of 3) a
s3}.
Com. — There have been no arrivals this week.—
We omit quotations.
Oats.— The comparatively heavy receipts recent
ly. have depressed the market, and prices have re
ceded 3 a 4c. per bushel. About 5,000 bushels
Virginia, held over from tbe previous week, have
been sold at 37 cents, and 1 000 bushels Maryland,
received since our last, changed hae'fa at 36c.
Hay.— Some 200 Dales North River, received
since our last, have been sold on terms not made
public. There have been no arrivals of Eastern for
some time back.
Hour.- The Flour market has ueen depressed
throughout ;be week just brought to a close. The
only transactions of any magnitude was the sale of
300 bbls. Baltimore at #s} per barrel. There has
been added, since our last report, to our previous
fill! supply upwards of 1,600 barrels.
Salt. — There have been received this week about
7000 sacks, which have changed hands, at prices
ranging from 70 to 75c. per sack, which is s decline
on the transactions of the preceding week.
Bacon.— All descriptions of Ba con have been very
much neglected since our last report. and so limited
have been the transactioo that we find it impossible
to give quotations with any degree of accuracy.
Lard. — The only transactions time has cwue to
our knowledge was tbesale of 20 half bbls, prime
North Carolina, which brought 7fc. c ah.
and Rape. — Nothing dene.
Sufwra- -The receipts during the previous fort
nigta, have thrown a heavy supply on tbe-YBarke*.
and the trade being wed supplied, th* demand du
ring tbe week lias been limned. The market is de
pressed and prices for Louisiana and Museovado de
scriptions have a decided downward tendency. Tbe
t «uiMM of the week has been confined to the sale of
164 hbds. Muscovado new crop, of good quality and
very dry at s}; and about 40 hhds. Ixwitun* at
t.rices rongi ng from 4} to 5} c. Tbe receipts of tbe

sidered nominal. *fhe receipts are 34 casks and
76 bbls. Cuba, 3300 do. Rio. direct, and 375 bags
Coastwise.
Molasses.— The Molasses market has also been de
serted this week. The trade has been fully supplied
by previous receipts, and hence the stagnation in the
market. Cuba was offered at 180,, but refused.
There have been no transactions in New Orleans, and
we quote nominally 27 a 28c. There have been no
arrivals of Muscovado or Trinidad, and we have for
the present erased quotations. Aleut 32 bbls, and 6
tieices Florida sold at 28c. The arrivals are 160 hhds.,
23 tierces., and 37 bbls, from lhe West Indies, and
300 bbls. New Orleans.

rent at the close of the present week, viz :—To New

On Wednesday following lhe close of our last
weekly report, there was a fair inquiry and the day’s
operations summed up 1161 bales; on Thursday the
sales were 1798 ; on Friday 702; on Saturday 380;
on Monday 529, and yesterday 837. Prices were
irregular in the first part of the week and transac
tions were not relied upon as a guide to fix rates. On
Saturday and Monday prices were firmer each day,
and yesterday an advance of a quarter of a cent was
obtained from the sales of the day previous. The
advance during the week has been fully J cent, and

BROWN’S CANTHARIDINS BLIS
TERING TISSUE. —This elegant Vesicating
Tissue, which owes its blistering properties solely to
Cantharidine, has been in extensive use for several
years, and is overcoming the prejudice entertained
by the Prolewion against new and proprietary pre
parations. Its superiority may be stated as follows;
1st —It is equally vesicant with the common Em
p last rum Lytra*.
2d—lt is cheaper, i. e. will blister more surface at
less cost.
3d —lt is more cleanly and readily applied.
4th—lt never produces strangury or troublesome
after-sores.

writes: “ Under its influence I have seen the ema

- and exchange his early mornings of intense suffering
e and distressing cough for the sound repose which
alone accompanies sound health.”
: DR. WAKE, of Liverpool, says: “I regard Hob-
: tings’ Syrup of Naphtha as one of the firrt medical
» discoveries of any age, and consider its agency in
< curing consumption as established beyond all doubt
3 or question.” A single bottle will prove its efficacy.
- All the proprietor asks is the trial of one bottle, the
f action of which will prove to tbe patient the virtue of
• this med Line. Coughs, colds, bronchitis, decline,
asthma, night sweats, and spitting of blood, are
< cured in a surprisingly short of time; the se
f verest colds having yielded to the treatment of the
: Naphtha Syrup in the short space of forty-eight

. MAGNIN’S LUCINA CORDIAL OR
THE ELIXIR OF LOVE.
This is tbe only actual remedy ever discovered for
Impotency, General Debility, Nocturnal Emiasions,
s and all diseases occasioned by certain secret fatbits;
3 and many of the nostrums recently recommended for
s tbe same complaints are worthless imitations which
: its unrivalled excellence, fame, and popularity have
- brought into the market. The medical faculty of
f Europe and the United States, are unanimous in their
i recommendations of the Lucina Cordial, and have
r not given tbeir sanction in a siogh;, instance that has
r been aultient Icalca,'to any otlier cbifijjouotl for me
same purpose. The nature of the maladies relieved
, by the Lucina Cordial, are generally such as to leave
, the publication «f certificates of cures out of the
t quest on, or the proprietor could procure a host of (he
r most conclusive Übstimony to show that the great re
h putation which it enjoys was not accidentally obtain
d ed, but is firmly bared upon its positive, ana appa-
- rently miraculous virtues. In all directions are to
d be found (he happy patents of healthy offspring,
who would not have been so, but for this extraordina
ry preparation. And it is equally potent in theanany
y diseases for which it is recommended. Objection
-t has been naturally made to the price of the Lucina
4- Cordial; because the trash that has been thrown in
ij to the market in opposition foil, is sold cheaper; but
} the fact is that the cordial cannot be afforded for less,
e and ought to be much dearer, as many of the ingre
. dients which compose it are among the costliest
e things in nature ; whereas the others are made up of
cheap drugs worth but little in money, and less in
ra merit; and it is a fact, that at least one of the getters
g up of these same mixtures, makes it a point to add
one bottle of the Lncina Cordial to a given number
tJ of gallons of his compound, so as to give it some lit
t de tone and virtue and thus solace his conscience.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
j The Louisville Journal says; “ Dr. Rogers’s LIV
ERWORT and TAR not only gives immediate re
lief in Coughs and Colds, but from the testimouy of
I men of the highest standing here and elsewhere, it
is making some very remarkable cures of Consump

Breast, Spitting of Blood, Whooping-Cough, and all
5 Lung Complaints, which, if neglected, usually ter
> minate in Consumption; and the certificates attached
to the advertisements would seem fully to justify this
statement.”
LIVERWORT.
This Plant has, for many years, been found to be
j of singular virtue in the cure of Affections of the

j sessed great power in arresting bleeding at the Lungs,
