Yee, praying. The street* were crowded with

Mnafl chapel been beaieged, en that it was difficult ;

little larger than a fair-sized room , models of ships
were suspended in it, and it was tastefully decorated

its past voyage were surmounted,and borne faces
were collected on tbe beach to welcome it in
The chapel was dark, dark even in the daytime
Tbe windows were sombre wito their stained glaes,
aud tbe ornaments, cases of relics, images, and pic
tures, raised against Inern, further obstructed tbe
light; It never was wholly dark, for the high can
dies on tbe altar were kept continually burning,
and numberless collections of miniature tapers were
lighted up by tbe kneeling women. From sunrise
till latent night the chape! wae receiving and pour
ing forth its crowds. The sailor men and boys
would oome in, sink on their knees before one or
other of the images, Bt. Andrew,or St. Peter, or the
Virgin, and remain there, still as death, for a couple
of minutes, praying to tbe saint. They then crossed
themselves and passed out, and the short prayer
would last must of them until tbeir return, when
they would go into the same chapel and offer as
brief thanks. Tbe women remained kneeling
longer their orayers were chiefly for a “bon voy
age’ ’ and safe‘ret urn, tbe mens for a good haul of
cod. Not half the people who crowded there, on
the few evenings preceding the boats’ departure,
could get an entrance into the chapel, therefore
many were content to kneel outside, on the enclosed
space of waste ground around it, and there pray.
They all managed to steal a look, through tbe open
door, at whichever image they patronised, bowed
to it, make the sign of the cross, anil so departed In
glided a lady into the chapel this evening
at the dusk.hour She looked of superior class and
was handsomely but quietly dressed. She drew
aside to the remotest obscurity of the chapel en
trance, and leaned against the bar that was placed
there to guard the paintings, waiting till her turn
should come to push in with the stream H-e was
a middle aged woman, and must once have been
beautiful but her features looked clouded with care.
A young woman followed her in the neat drese of a
French domestic servant, wearing the universal
dark cloth cloak, and a close snow-white cap. Ibe
lady was anxious to look about her and to gossip,
so she .topped at the entrance. Presently an ac
quaintance came up, another woman servant, who

[ a work of difficulty, and Henry Yorke exercised his

pe ip'e unnecessarily, I will send John home with
i you.”
! “That y u won’t. I would jump over tbe pier

| “Hoeh! Bea good boy.”

It was a telling question, innocently put. And he
with the white teeth, who was following close be
hind. saw that ber very neck was in a glow.
“I do” continued Harry. “It is so nice to sail
over tbe sea. I’ll be a sailor when I grow up.”
“Nice to sail over tbe sea cried Miss Sherring
ton. “IJon’t you remember how ill you were, only
era sing here from London TANARUS”
“But that was the nasty steamer made me. Ido
mean to be a sailor, Elizabeth, and 111 bring you
lots of things home from foreign countries. Mam
ma thinks I only say it to tease her, when I want
aiiytiUDg that she won't give me.”
Every inch of tbe ground, toward the extremity
of the pier, was contested for, that being tbe be-t
gazing place T e sea was calm and lovely, the
light wind, whicii served to spread the sails, scarce
ly ruffling it; more than thirty boats were already
out, studding ibe marine landscape, and the morn
ing sun shone brightly on their canvas, as they skim
med over the water Miss Sherrington was strug
gling on, when a crash and shouting below, and a
worse press than ever to the side of tbe pier, sug
gested that soni“ untoward accident bad occurred.
The Rushing Water, in going out of harbor, had,
by some mishap or mismanagement, wmcli none
on board could account for, struck against tbe end
of the pier The boy, Paul, had been left for a sin
gle moment near the rudder; conld he have mis
chievously altered the boat's course ?
“What damage is done ?” inquired Miss Sherring
ton, of a bystander, a fisherman.
“Not much—as tar as I can see. They will have
to put back, though, till the evening’s tide, and give
be* a haul over.”
•’Hood morning, Miss Sherrington. You are out
early.”
She turned sharply round at the voice, to encoun
ter Mr. Yorke and his glistening teeth. He was a
man of large fortune, a relation of her mother’s late
husband, and Miss Sherrington had good cause to
suspect that his sojourn iu the French town had
herself for its motive power. Siie hud no objection
in the world to his admiration, had fiirted with
him quite ns much as she had fiirted Mr. Jau
son , whether she would equally well receive auy
warmer token of his favor, remained to be proved.
“We < line to see tbe boats out,” she said, giving
him ber band.
“1 should scarcely have thought a fleet ot paltry
lishing-boats would have been sufficient attraction
to call a young lady from her bed.”
“fill, Mr. Yorke 1 Look at the numbers of Eng
lish around ; nearly every one we kuow is here. It
is a sight which has the charm of novelty for many
of us.”
“I see your friend, young Janson s courage has
n it failed him at the last, as I prophesied it would.
We shall be rid of him for a time.”
“For good, probably,” she replied, with the ut
most apparent indifference. “Before he returns, we
shall no doubt have left for home.”
“1 hope so. I wonder at Mrs. Yorke a having
brought you here at all. These contiuental towns
are n .t desirable.”
“ Her motive was Henry’s improvement m
French,” laughed Miss Sherrington.
“And, that he muy gain facility in speaking it, she
sends him to the college,” observed Mr Yorke,
“where he mixes with a dozen other English boys,
and they abuse each other all day in geuuiue (Queen’s
English.” ...
‘We art. not going to asnociate with those pige ot
of French beggars,” interposed Master Yorke, shak
ing hack his pretty courts in token of scorn.
“Pigs!” echoed the gentleman. “You are polite,
sir.”
“At any rate it is what they are always calling
us.” retorted the lad. “Oroa coehons Anglais.”
Mi Yorke left them, and Elizabeth and her bro
ther had quilted the pier, and were passing through
thu old tortified gates, where throe or four lads,
older than himself,came up to hold a conference
with llarry. It. appeared to be productive of some
pleasurable excitement , for he turned to his sister
with sparkling eyes and au eager taee,
“Elizabeth, may I go out fishing?”
“Fishing, no 1 . You would send mamma into a
fever. You know she never allows you to go near
tiie water.
“There is no danger, Mist Sherrington,” spoke up
one of the iuviters, a boy of fifteen or sixteen. “We
are going up the eanal in a boat for a mile or two,
and then shall land and fish. He can’t come to any
harm ; we are accustomed to the management of a
boat, and we have got our provisions with us. We
mean to make a day of it.”
“it is impossible that I can allow him to go,” re
plied Miss Sherribgton lie can ask Lis mamma if
he likes, but I am sure it will be useless.”
“It’s a shame, then !” exclaimed Henry. “lean
never do anylhtng that 1 like. Won’t I when I get
bigger, though!”
He walked sullenly by his sister's side until they
reached the streets. As they were pasaiug the col
lege, one or two boys were going in at the scholars’
eutrauce, and the old church clock, further off,
ohimi-d out nine.
“ I shall go in to school now,” said Henry.
“Nonsense,” returned his sister; “you have not
had votir breakfast.”
“ 1 don’t want any. I don't want to be marked
late. It’s your fault tor stopping so long upon tbe
pier. So, good by Elizabeth.
“ Good by,” Bhesepeated, scarcely heediug his de
parture, or what she said, lor at that moment Ed
ward Janson uppeared, crossing the street, having
landed from the Hushing Water, and the sight made
her oblivious to every tiling else.
At six o'clock, when they assembled to dinner,
Henry was tiiiisiug. Mrs. ‘Yorke supposed he was
kept in at school, not au unfrequent occurrence,
and began dinner with a very bad grace. She in
quired of John what time he went back to school
after luncheon; she and Miss Sherrington having
been out in the middle of the day.
“ Master Henry did not come home to luncheon,
ma'am.”
Mrs. Yorke was indignant. “No breaklast, aud
keep him from two meals besides!” she uttered.—
“ It is enough to throw him into a consumption.—
Tho master must be a bear. Go at once and bring
the child home, John ; bring him home by force if
they object and threaten them with the police. I’ll
suinmues that master before the Criminal Tribunal.
Send somebody in here, to wait., while you go.
Tbe footman went leisurely enough to the col
lege : but he tore back agaiu at full speed. Mas
ter Yorke had noi been near tiie school that day,
and he was to be punished for it on the morrow.
“Not near the school!'’ repeated the alarmed
Mrs. Yorke. “Elizabeth you told me ycu left him
there.” ~
“So I did. I saw him run to the gates, I—l think
1 saw him enter,” she added, more hesitatingly,
trying to remember whether she did or not.
“You think 1 What do you mean by that V de
manded Mrs. Yorke, who really cared nothing for
her daughter, in comparison with her eon. “You
saw him, or you did not.”
“He never van have gone off with those boys .
suddenly exclaimed K.lizabeth, in alarm, remember,
ing the fishing expedition.
“What boys I Why don’t you speak plain ?”
“Jones anil Anson, and a few more English lads,
were going up tbe canal in a boat, to fish, aud wan
ted Harry to go with them,” explained Miss Sher
rington. “I refused, of course.”
“ Then he is sure to be gone, and if be is drowned
you will have been tbe cause.” screamed Mrs
Yorke, iu agitation. “After such a thing as that
put iuto his head, you ought to have brought him
home, aud kept him there. You know what he is.”
There was no further peace. Mrs. Yorke not only
sent about the town, but went herself, to the houses
of the boys’ parents, aud to every place where there
was a possibility of hearing of him. The other pa
rents were alarmed now. With some difficulty,
they discovered which canal the young gentlemen
had favored with their company, aud bent their
Steps to it in a body, Sir. Jones carrying a lantern,
for it was dark then. They had not proceeded along
its banks many minutes, when they encountered a
small army of half a dozen, looking bke drowned
rats. It proved to be the young gentlemen theui
sejves. who had all beeu in the water, through the
upsetting of the boat.
“ Wlwrets Henry ?” asked Mrs. Yorke. trembling
so that she could scarcely put the question. “ Has
he been with you ?”
“Yes he nas beeu with us/’
“ Where is he ? Oh, where ia he r
“He was in the boat when it capsized. Wee&u t
make out where he is. Tin sure he scrambled out.
Miss Sherrington wae very pale. “ llow are you

“I am positive I saw him,” cried Tbiiip Anson,
•‘and l spoke to him. I said to him, ‘That was a

answered, ‘By Jove, if it wasn't 1* ”
“No, it was me answered you that, Phil, inter

“Well, I'm positive he U out,” reioiued Phil An
son, “for 1 know I saw him. and hisbair had got the
curi out of it, and was hanging down straight.”
“Did any of the rest of you see him V* inquired
Mis* Sherrington, in painful suspense.
All ike bo>2 began talking together. The result
to be gathered was that they could not be sure
whether he was out or not. it was all such a scram
ble at the time, and nearly dark.
“Oh, mamma,” implored Miss Sherrington, “do
not despair.*’ But Mrs. Mrs. Yorke had fainted
away, and was lying oo lbs towing-path.

It was a terrible misfortune. Independent of ‘die
xiw'ktuphoiy loss of the child, independent of the
Don-fecovry of his body, it was a deep misfortune
in a pecuniary point of view. With her son's

Mr Yorke wa* rich.
“Give me till to mo!row, and you shall have an
tamper, u she said to him “This ha* come upon
me *uddenly.”
4 “Very well. liemember, Elizabeth, that during
the suspense I shall neither eat nor sleep. I shall
have neither peace nor rest. Be my wife, and your
risve .hall be a dream of love.
“A dream of love she bitterly repeated, as he
left ber. “For him, perhaps : not for me.”
She remained ia her room till evenine, commuu
ini: with herself, and then she sought Mrs. Yorke,
saying she wished to consult her.
“I am not worth ooasul'ing now,” wasthe queru
iotis answer. “My epirits are gone, my hear: is
broken.”
• Mr. Yorke wants me to marry him.”
“Mr Yorke” returned her mother, somewhat
aroused. ‘ Has be asked you?”
“Y’es. Today.”
“TheD you are more lucky than you dese-ve ”
“I do not know whether to acceptor reject him.
‘ Keject him!” fiercely interposed Mrs. Yorke;
you are oat of your senses. With his fine fortune,
his position, his amiability——”
“1 she amiable ?*’ asked Elizabeth. “He puzz.es
me at times.”
“What puzzles you ?’
“His words I don’t understand them. And the
expreeeion of his countenance.’’
“Had you not better set up for a phrenologist 1
or whatever they call the charlatans who pretend to
read faces, sarcastically retorted Mrs Y’orke.
“Mamma, listen. If I do accept of him, it will be
because I am unhappy here.”
“I’ray why should there be an ‘if in the matter at
all ? W’hy should you heeita'e, or think of rejecting
him?”
Because Ido not love him,” answered Eliza
beth, in alow tone. “Hike Mr. Yorke, but it le
quires more than liking to marry a man :or ought
to.”
“Oh, if you are going to run on about romance
and sentiment, Ido not understand it,’ returned
Mia. Yorke. “I never did more than “like’ my two
husbands, yet I wae happy with them My love
was wasted on somebody else; when I was almost a
dhild.’
“Wae it?” cried Elizabeth, eagerly.
“It was. And was over and done with before I
married, and I did not make the less good wife. It
is so with ninety-nine women out of every hundred,
and tbeir wedded lives are all the happier for their
early romance being over. Romance and reality
do not work well together, Elizabeth. You are in
experienced, child.”
She was beginning to think so.
“I give you my advice, Elizabeth, and I give it
for your happiness . marry Mr Y'orke, and be
thankful. I! Ject him, and pass your after life in
repining, in self reproach at your own folly.”
Mr. Yorke received tbe answer he wished for.—
They were to be married in England, in Autumn,
but the preparations were at once commenced.
They both wished Mrs. Yorke to go home immedi
ately, but she would not; perhaps some vague
hope of recovering, even yet, the child's body,
chained her to the plane. The last week in August
waa fixed for their departure, and August at length
came in.
Tiie fishing-basts began to retu n from Iceland,
laden with their spoil; by twos, by threes, by little
fleets of them, bv ones. At length all were in save
two, the Belle Helene and the Rushing Water
These two delayed much, and a report got about,
nobody knew how, for it was certainly without
foundation, that the Rushing Water was wrecked.
Mies Sherrington, in spite of herself and her be
trothal, heard the evil fear with a sickening heart,
and locked out for it in secret more yearningly than
any one.
Or than any, save one. For if her anxiety was
great, what was it compared with that of poor Mrs.
Janson? One day, it was on a Friday, Therese
had gone to the fish market to purchase the usual
last day's dinner, when in the midst of her squally
bargaining with the fish-vendor, newa flew about
the market that one of the two missing boats was
signalled—it was thought to be the Rushing Wa
ter. Hashing the disputed fish back ou the woman’s
board, away went Therese to her mistress, and
without circumlocution announced that the Rush
ing Water was making the harbor.
Mrs. Janson w ent down to the port. The boat
was in, and being moored to the side. La Belle
Helene. She asked the crew news of the Rushing
Water, but they had not seen her on their passage
home. Yet the Rushing Water bad been one of the
first boats to leave Iceland.
Disheartening news. As Mrs. Janson went back
again, with a heavy step, she encountered Miss
Sherrington.
“Young lady, go home and pray,” she said, in her
abrupt, stem manner; “pray that you may not hav6
causea his death, as well as his misery. Stay upon
your knees until Heaven shall be pleased to hear
you, as lam going to do. There is little hope now.”
“I heard the Rushing Water had come in this
morning,” faltered Mies Sherrington. t
“So did I. But it proves to be the Helene. Aud
tiie Rushing Water left Iceland days before her.”
She passed on with her pale, severe face, and
Elizabeth Sherrington continued her way.
The days went on, five or six of them. Mrs.
Yorke aud Miss Sherrington were sitting in the twi
light, the latter expecting Mr. Yorke, whom Bhe was
trying, with all her might and main, to like better,
as a dutiful bride elect should, when one of the ser
vants came in, and said a gentleman was asking to
see her.
“Me ! To see me V demanded Elizabeth.
“A gentleman sailor, Miss. I think it is Mr. Jan
son. He says, will you allow him a minute’s con
versation 7”
“<)h, mamma 1” she uttered. “Mr. Janson 1 TLen
the Rushing Water must be safe in.”
Mrs. Yorke made some indistinct reply. Her
thoughts were buried in other things. What, to
h r, was the safety of the Rushing Water.
Elizabeth passed through the ante-room and en
tered the one where lie had been shown. He was
in his sailor’s attire, his glazed hst in his hand,
looking, or Elizabeth thought so, handsomer than
ever.
“Then you are iu safety! ’ she exclaimed, grasp
ing his haud ill her agitated thankfulness, perhaps
for his mother's sake, but forgetful at tbe moment,
of Mr. Yorke and the whole world. “We have
beeu counting you as among the lost.”
“Our homeward voyage has been bad, perilous,
unlucky altogether, save that we have ultimately
arrived. Miss Sherrington, I hear that you have
been mourning Harry as dead.”
“Y'es, yes. Oh yes!”
“He is safe, lie has been with us.”
She did not scream; she suppressed it. Then
she thought he in st be dreaming : or thnt she was.
“He got in.o some trouble, fell iuto the water, and
was afraid to go home,” proceeded Mr. Janson.
“That mischievous imp. Paul, encountered him ill
his wet plight, brought him on board, coiled him up
under some sails and rope, and twentyfour hours af
ter we left port Master Harry came out. I wished
the captsin to put back, but he laughed at me ; so
he had to go with us, and I have taken care of him.
Paul says Harry bribed him with a five franc piece,
three for himself, and two to give to a messenger to
take word to his mother where he had gone ; but
since 1 landed, an hour ago. I have heard that you
and Mrs. Yorke thought him dead; therefore no
messuge could have been brought you. I thought
it well to ask to see you, that the news may be bro
ken to Mrs. Yorke.
“Ob! how shall we over thank you ?” she uttei
ed, attributing all the good to Mr. Jansou, in her
ooufused feelings ofjoy. “Where is Harry ?”
“Waiting just inside the case at the next door un
til I send for him, and being made a lion of.”
Miss Sherrington went into the drawing-room,
which was almost dark then, and knelt down beside
her mother’s chair.
“Mamma 1 mamma 1 I have some joyful news to
tell you. You will not faint if I tell it.
What news will ever be joyful to me agaiu,
Elizabeth ? What ia the matter with you, that
you kneel in that strange manner ? How you
tremble 1”
“Mamma—suppose I have news to tell you about
Harry ? That—he—ia—found f”
“Is it ? is it?” excitedly uttered Mrs. Ycrke.
It 1 She was thinking of the dead Harry ; not the
living one.
“Not‘it,’ mamma. lie. Could you bear for me
to tell you that he ia in life—safe—well ?”
“Elizabeth, what do you mean ?” faintly uttered
Mrs. Y'orke.
“He is, be ia. Dearest mamma, he has been out
with Mr. Janson in the Rushing Water.”
She did not continue. For the door had opened
and a happy lad stood peeping in, in a nondescript
attire, composed partly of his own things, partly of
Paul’s. He was browned with the sea air, taller
than before, and his fair curls were wild aud en
tangled. With a cry, he Hew into his mother's
arms, and she sobbed upon his neck and kissed his
pretty face and his untidy hair, and strained him'to
her as if she could never let him go again.
“Mrs. Y'orke, will you forgive my saying that I
think you will find him a more dutiful boy than he
used to be ?” said Mr. Janson, who had follow ed
him iu. “He has had to rough it, and he now knows
the value of a happy home and a mother s love. I
have taken upou myself to discipline him, too; I
have kept him from the sailors, so far as was practi
cable, and rea 1 him lessons on his faults, and I be
lieve you will find him changed for tbe better.”
“Oh yes, indeed, mamma,” sobted the lad. “I
know now how naughty I was, and I will try and
never grieve you and Elizabeth again.”
“Mr. Janson,” cried the mother, rising andspeak
ing iu impassioned tones, “how can I reward you
for the joy that you have brought me this night ?
If you asked me for my life in repayment, I almost
think it shou’d be yours.”
She left the room as she spoke, anxious to be
alone, and Harry followed her. Miss Sherrington
was lost in thought,
“Philip Ansbn has held to it, to this day, that
Harry was saved.’ she exclaimed. “He persisted
in declaring that he saw him, after Harry scram
bled out of the water.”
“And now that my task is done, I have only to
take my leave,” observed Mr. Janson, holding’out
his hand. “This house was an interdicted place to
me before I left; I concluded that it was so still.”
Miss Sherrington put her hand in his, and burst
into tears.
He held it, and looked at her. “Elizabeth, what
do those tears mean ? That you hate me, as you
did before 7”
“I never hated you. It was the contrary. lam
very miserable.”
“I went this voyage,” he whispered, “striving to
hate, or, rather, to forget you. I come from it, lov
ing yeu more than ever. The child's being on board,

saw him, could I forget you ? My dearest, why I

EfialUh Reflection* on the Strength of Ameri- j
ca—A Times Editorial.
The speech of Mr Dallas at the America celebra- j
tion in London, attracted attention in England, not !
so much by what he said as by what he left unsaid, i
The Times makes it the occasion for a very inter- j
eating article on the United States, which we re- i
publish as follows ;
We have Young England and Young France, and j
YouDg I tall, and other youths of note and preten
tion in the Old World. They are, however, but the j
bright hallucination.- cf old or middle age. Y’oung ]
England is nothing more than the old buck who, j
with a wig and false teeth, with white trowsers,
white coat and light hat. dreams of perpetual youth,
and, so dreaming, is Knocked over by a sudden re
turn of his old gout or rheumatism Thre is only
one really new nationality in the world, like young
Greece, or the sturdy and mutinous rabble that
Romulus gathered around the Palatine. It is
Y'oung America. It is the lion's cub—strong, clum
sy, playful and harmless, till provoked, when savage
nature shows itself rudely aud unpleasantly. Y'oung
Amei ica is the yourg gentleman just come to hia j
property, with an abundance of animal spirits, with
health, wilh much money and credit; with all the
elements for a good start. Hia future, even on this
side of the grave, ia infinite and inexhaustible. Do
what he will, he can never get through his money,
his time, his friends, his vigor—everything. He
may for the present do what he pleases. A few j
years’ riotous indulgence, a few madcap adventures,
a"y number of questionable friends of all sorts, any
rate of expenditure, will leave a remainder ample
for all the purposes of ordinary life. It will be time
to be wise ten years hence, or twenty years hence.
What too. if he has to pay for it at forty or fifty 1 —
That is very remote. So, let tbe future take case of
itself.
This is the calculation on which many a young
Lord commences that brilliant career which forms
so frequent and so croininent a feature in British
social life. How he blazes and flares for ten years !
What a jolly life he leads ! How he rises from
scrape to scrape, still unscathed, exciting the hopes
of his friends, and baffling the auguries of the cy
nical! He is a cat of nine lives. Nothing harms
him. With what stamnia he meets illness, loss, hos
tility, and even disgrace 1 But meanwhile he is
steadily and surely drawiug upon his capital. He
is draining his stock of money, health, strength,
credit, time, and friends This is his i pportunity,
and this his way of using it. In ten or fifteen years
at the latest he awakes from his dream to the sad
dest of certainties. He has wasted the spring of
his life, and there remains a barren summer, an un
profitable autumn and a dreary winter. For fifty
long years, if he haply lives so lODg, he will have to
brood on the titter recollections of a wasted youth
Tnis is the too common career of Young England
in its personal and individual sense. What if it
ehouid .be the career of that Young England deno
minated from its estate Young America ?
We owe indeed, an apology for thia warning.—
We are told that England aud America are no long
er mother and daughter, but sisters. Well, we are
at least the elder sister, and, as we cannot give our
selves all the airs of youth, we may as well claim
the benefit of seniority. So, listen to us, Mr. Dal
las. Be advised, Young America. We admit that
your position and your prospects are splendid. We
edmit that for a considerable time you are likely to
have it ail your own way, and that you may do a
great deal without being called to account for it.—
You have now, it appears, got finally rid of that
remnant of your tutelage, the right of visit, as well
as the right of search. This is a great emancipation.
Young Hopeful will now have a latch-key ; his let
ters will not be opened or his boxes overhauled.—
He will not be asked about his frieuds, his bills, his
amusements, hie occupations. Young America will
now take or lend his flag ail over the world. From
zone to zone and Pole to Pole, the Stripes and Stars
will proclaim perfect freedom to every trade or pro
fession that may choose to assume them. Slavers,
pirates, or auy worse trade, if it can be discovered,
may now carry “the grand principles of American
independence, conquering ana to conquer all over
the world.” Wherever we go, across the vast
breadth of the Atlantic that glorious banner will
proclaim a sacred immunity. As for the ulterior
designs avowed by those who followed Mr Dallas
at Monday’s festivity, they do not rest on the can
dor of this or that convivial orator. YV e know well
enough what Yuucg America wants, and we know
also that where there is a will there is a way. The
present object of our admiration is the newly
achieved triumph of American independence, and
the inexhaustible opportunities and resources of this
unequalled child of fortune.
With the greateet respect for Mr. Dallas, how
ever, with the most brotherly affection for Y'oung
America, and the most cordial wish for her rea! im
provement and legitimate progress, we regret some
omissions iu this important declaration, as it seems
to be considered. The description of Young Ame
rica's position, and prospects is confined to her ter
ritorial, material and polit cal improvement, and
the probability of her political principles extending
over the world. Not a word of her readiness to do
nobly for herself, that which has been hitherto in
tended by the clumsy und annoying interference of
Old England. Is Young America wholly indiffer
ent to the moral character of her flag, and to the
nature of the principles on which the whole world
is to be reformed ? In the silence of the speakers
on Monday upou thisjimportant point, we are left to
fear that the Stars and Stripes will henceforth be
not so much the American flag as the flag of univer
sal dishonor and crime. If this is what Young Ame
rica deliberately contemplates we must withdraw
our congratulations. She has splendid resources
and opportunities, but they are to be used, not
abused; and this va3t earth itself is too small, time
itself too short, for the waste of this golden inheri
tance Nobody ever yet made an ill use of youth,
liberty, health, wealth and strength without biterly
rueiug it afterwards, and perhaps reproaching those
who assisted or connived. Now is the time to
mould the manhood of this great nation. The sap
ling is still tender, the wax is still pliant, the first
heat of the metal is still on it.
If America will now choose to exercise upon her
self that discipline which England, perhaps pre
sumptuously, has been attempting to usurp over
her, then we seethe beginning of that moral ele
ment, that self respect, which shall strengthen aud
ennoble her exuberance of animal vigor and ma
terial wealth. It is time this great heirshould become
his own tutor and guardian. He will do that which
others cannot do for him, and which they cannot
make him do, will America secure its own flag from
the most horrible desecration or will it act like the
vulgar upstart who buys armorial bearings at the
Herald College, and rejects the code of honor ? Mr.
Dallas pleaded illness on Monday ; perhaps he for
got this part of his address and others did not feel it
their business to say what belonged to him alone.
Let him take an early opportunity to inform the
world what are the principles which are now to go
forth, conquering and to conquer, all over the world,
and whether they include universal immunity for
whatever crimes may be perpetrated under the
Stars and Stripes.
The Ikon Tkade of the World.— The annual
production ot crude iron throughout the world is
estimated at 6,000,000 tons. Os this Great Britain
produces 3,000,000, France 750,000, Prussia 300,000,
Austria flat),000, Belgium AOO,OOO, Russia 200,000,
Sweden 150,00(1, the lesser German States 100, ‘OO,
the United States 750,000, and other countries 300,-
000.
It is thus seeu that one-half of the iron of the world
issues from the forges of Great Britain, and that the
arnuuut produced iu the Uuited Slates—although
large, as compared with other countries—is small
when contrasted with that of Great Britain. Is this
likely to continue ? Those who are best informed
upou thia subject, are of the opinion that the must
favorable locations are at present fully occupied,
and that it the iron trade of Great Britain is des
tined to a further increase, it must be by bringing
into use the iron deposits of Ireland, which have
hitherto been, for the most part, entirely neglected.
Iu the United States, on the contrary, the depos
its are on bo gigantic a scale, and ars so universally
diffused, that a production, such as that at present
enjoyed by England would scarcely make an im
pression upou them. Indeed, there is no subject
which strikes the scientific observer iu this country
with greater wonder, than that of the immense
mineral deposits, heaped up in the ranges of moun
tains which traverse the entire length of tbe Ameri
can continent, the most useful of which, as well as
the most widely diffused, is iron.
England, although the largest producer of iron,
is far from making the best. Tbe Russian and Swe
dish bears a higher reputation, and commands a
greater market price. While something is due to
the ores of special localities, yet much is referable
to a slovenly system, which the abundant materials
of England has led them to adopt, and which wo
have but too fail hfully imitated.
Mr. J. K. Blackwell, in a paper read before the
British Society of Arts, which attracted much no
tice, called attention to this subject, and stated that
at the Industrial exhibition held in Paris, the iron
of other countries was greatly superior to that of
England, aud that the comparison was by no means
calculated to increase the reputation of their manu
factures. The manufacture of iron is strictly a
chemical process, and the energies of other coun
tries have been directed to the attainment of a
high degree of scientific knowledge, in its fabrica
tion, iu which they had been successful, and hence
the results spoken of by Mr. Blackwell, as manifest
ed at the Paris Industrial Exhibition
Iron is found in several combinations, as the
black oxyde, red heinetite, brown hemetita, brown
ochre, but by far the most widely diffused and
available combinations are, the carbonite, brown
spar and ispathose ores, aDd the black band of
Scotland. All this widely diffused class is suscepti
ble of two divisions, viz.: the crystalline, which oc.
cure in beds in primary rocks; and the lithoid,
which is an incident to coal measures, and is re
markable for the facility with which it may be re
duced. It furnishes the basis for nearly the whole
of the enormous yield of Great Britain, and is used
extensively in France and the United States.
All these are reduced to iron by a process called
smelting, and upon the care with which this is con
ducted the value of the iron greatly- depends. It is
to this primary process that Mr. Blackwell particu
larly refers when he gives the continental iron a
superiority over the English He, however, finds
that trom one cause or another, most of the Euro
pean Stales must rather diminish than increase
their iron production, and confidently turns to Eng
land and America as the two great iron-producing
countries of the world. If bis views of the limited
capacity of the other governments of the world to
produce iron are correct, it is easy to see that the
vast increase in the consumption of iron induced
by European and American railways, and in the
domestic arts, thp supply wi.i soon fall far short of
the demand. and the price will be proportionally en
hanced. The available capacity of England is al
ready taxed to its uttermost, all that can be expected
from it is that the annual production shall not be
diminished. In this dilemma, the eye naturally
turns to the United States, where nature has piled
up. with a more bountiful hand than in any other j
part of the globe, all the materials necessary for the [
fabrication of iron. Art has already made many of j
these available by means of railroads and canals, j
and is yearly adding to their development.— Balt.

The Supreme Court. —Aft era long, laborious
and exciting eession, closed itau labors on Saturday
night last. The case of Malinda Winn, against the
Macon dc Western Railroad, being an action for
damages for injuries to a child, has been affirmed. —
The verdict of the Jury in the Court below, was for
seven thousand dollars. This case has before
the Court two or three times, and has created no
jittle interest in our community. The action grew
cat of the accident which occurred on the Mscon &
Western Railroad several years ago, about twelve :
miles above Macon, in which two children and the
driver of a carriage were killed, and Mrs. Winn and
the child now surviving, were seriously injured.
In the case of the Bill holder of tbe Planters and
Mechanics’ Bank, ve Alexander J. Roberson, from
Columbus, the Court have decided. ‘.Judge Lump
kin dissenting; that ali suits against the Back cr its
Stockholders, terminate with the expiration of the
Bank Charter. The Charter of the Planters’ and ;
Mechanics’ Bank having expired in 1857, toe stock- j
holders are thus released from ail liability to pay j
the bills and other debts of the Bank. Without i
pretending to discuss whether this decision be well ,
founded or not in law, we appeal to the next Legis
lature to pass an act making the Banks and Stock- ;
holders liable to suit after the expiration of the char- .
ter. If thia ia not done and the decision of the
Court as stated above, ia to be the law, it is an in
vitation to ail Banks, to expand their circulation, in
crease their debts, make way with their assets, and
when the charter expires, the credulous Bill holder
may whistle for bis money. When a private citi
xen dies, hie debts do not die with him, but hia es ;
tate is liable for the last farthing. Why should a ;
Bank be released after death trom the payment of
its debts ? This decision may be founded in law.
but its justice e emphatically deny. The Racks
should not enjoy privileges and immunities of ex
emption from liabilities, other than the humblest citi
zee and the law which gives such exemption,
should be repealed; and we cali the attention of
the Legislature te this subject, hoping that at the
next eeeeivQ, “justice will be done though the hea
vens tall.’’ We understand that Mr. Dougherty as
counsel, has about two hundred cases pending in
Muscogee Court against the Stockholders of broken
Banks, but by this decisi m, they all go by the board.
The decision in this case changes thejndgment of
the Court as rendered when Judge* Warner and
Nisbet were on the Bench, when the same question
came before them in a similar case. So we go

COMMERCIAL.
CHARLEST ON, July 30.— Cotton— Since the close of
last week, tue it-arket has been very much neglected,
and the sales in the past three d*ys have been limited,
and prices at the close of the week may be said to be
altogether nomii tal. This position of affairs is largely
attributed to the withdrawal of buyers, who have been,
until a very late date, operating for Spanish account,
anx l who have sr.iuuned ani strengthened prices. The
receipts s nee 01 ir kffjkaacii 2699 ba.es, and the sales in
the same time Low to Strict Middling. 121
#I2J: Good and Middling Fair. 13gc
Au-e—There hasroro a very good inquiry for this arti
cle, prices have further improved, ard the market closed
at a decided advance of ic. from the lowest pnint. The
sales show a range of figures extending from s2* to $3?
hundred.
Com— The receipts by Railroad since last comprise
11,500 bushels, the bulk of which was contracted for by
dealers to arrive, who expect still further supplies
These contracts, as was to have been expected, have
ha- J a depressing influence on prices, and recent transac
tions m other descriptions Lave by no means come up to
the expectations of consignees It was most generally
conceded yesterday, that the present value of Country
Corn is fixed at Si'& eo cents & bushel, which includes
—The week have been limit€d to
103 ti bushels As we have no transactions to report, we
haveno quotations to offer.
Flour— The re eipts since our last have been limited
to some 1169 barrels, the bulk of which is classed super
fine. and readily commands from its scarcity $5; ami s•>
i for barrels, and $3 for sacks.
Sugar —The again relapsed Into a
quiet'state. Prices ever, are firm, and holders seem
to have an abiding confidence that the recent advance
will not onlv be sugjfced. but that prices will fuither
improve. Time, must settle this question
We learn that scxn£9 bbls - außhed were sold at prices
ranging from 111 to life , ....
Molassss—' There has bei n a aecided improvement m
the demand this week, and upwards of 300 bb!s. N \v
Orleans have been sold at prices ranging from 36 to 38c.
# gallon. There was also a movement in Cuba, aud 100
hhds. were sold, but the terras have not been made pub-
I —Some little attention has also been directed to
thia article, and upwards of 500 bag; Rio have changed
hands, at pr ees ranging from 1H to 12c.
Stock*—We have passed through another quiet week,
and find it quite a difficult task in the present stageaut
state of the market to arrange a list of prices that will
suit the views of both parses ; we have made the effort,
however, and would refer to our table for the result.
Exchanges —There is very little paper making, and
the a.-arcity of Sterling Bills has further advanced the
rates. Our Banking institutions have not, we believe,
paid over !i cent, premium, but transactions have
been made out doors above this rate.
Freigfds— There are no sc tied rates to any point, and
parties to a contract make the best arrangements that
circumstances will permit.

THE CELEBRATED HOLLAND REMEDY FOR
DYSPEPSIA,
DISEASE OF THE KIDNEYS,
LIVER COMPLAINT,
WEAKNESS OF ANV KIND,
FEVER AND AGUE,
And the various affections consequent upon disordered
STOMACH OR LIVER,
Such as Indigestion. Acidity of the Stomach, Colicky
Pains, Heart burn, Loss of Appetite. Despondency, Cos
tiveness, Blind and Bleeding Piles. In all Nervous,
Rheumatic, and Neuralgic Affections, it has in numerous
instances proved highly beneficial, aud in others effeq}
ed a decided cure.
This is a purely vegetable compound, prepared on
strictly scientific principles, after he manner of the
celebrated Holland Professor, Hoe- have. Because of
its great success in most of the European .States, its in
troduction into the United States was intendi and more
especially for those o! our fa herland scattered here and
there over the face of this mighty country. Meeting
with great success among them, 1 now offer it to the
American public, knowing that its truly wonderful me
dicinal virtues must be acknowledge'!
It is particularly recommended to those persons whose
constitutions may have been impaired by ibe continu
ous use of ardent spirits, or oiler forms of dissipation.
Generally instantaneous in effect, it finds its way di
rectly to the sea* of life, thrilling and quickening every
nerve, raising up the drooping spirit, and, in fact, infusin'*
new health and vigor in the system.
NOTICE. —Whoever expects to find this a beverage
will be disappointed ; bnt to the sick, weak and low
spirited, it will prove a grateful aromatic cordial, pos
seted of singular remedial properties.
CAUTION!
The great popularity of this delightful Aroma has in
duced many imitations, which the public should guard
against purchasing. Be not persuaded to buy anything
else until you have given Boerhave s Holland Bitters :i
fair trial. One bottle will convince you how infinitely
superior to all these imitations.
