Os another feature of this portion of the j Message wo shall forbear, out of the respect, due to the station of its author, to speak in the language which in our opinion it de serves. Wc refer to the intimation that “the pretext which this relation [the ‘State debts to foreigners] affords to foreigners to scrutinize the management of our domes tie affairs, if not actually to intermeddle with //i'.'W, presents a snhi’ ct tar carncs- atten tion, not. to say of serious tilurni. < h--s prooitiaiion of the genius of Locntbeoism, at the expense of the national charae'er, is utterly beneath the dignity of the Presi dential officer. We had intended to remark upon the interference with the concerns of the States, begun in the Executive communications of last year, continued iu the Message now be fore us, and the repetition, with variations, of tho doctrine, peculiar to this Adminis tration, that die people expect too much from the Government wlr-n they expect the Government to do any thing for their benefit; but wc must leave these topics to another tim ■ if not in other hands. There ,s one statement in the Message, however, which we must take the time ne co „•? ?-• con*. *\-—t .W d”v that “a National Lank wuj repU mers of tho Constitution as mcompatio. • with die rights of ill States and the Peo ple”—the same persons having, indeed, whilst in the Congress of the OidConf ‘dera tion, themselves established a National Bank. And wo assert that if, as the Mes sage says, a National Bank has from the beginning been regarded “by large portions of our fellow-citizens” as unconsti tutional, it has been regarded in a very dif ferent light by larger portions of our fel low-citizens, who have not only onco hut twice established such an institution and afterwards sustained a id upheld it by their votes. The Chamber of Commerce of this city, at a meeting on the 13th ult,., adopted es olutions censuring the practice ofsampling Cotton, as usually pursued here, by cut ting across the halo and extracting a large quantity, causing loss in weight, and inju ring the reputation of our cotton in a for eign market. They recommend that the practice be discontinued. Another prac tice, considered alike in jurious to the plant er and pure-baser, weighing of cotton on the wharves, as soon as landed, is also re commended to be discontinued ; and ii is suggested to the factors that they have their cotton weighed after the sale ant / on the de livery, instead of the former mode. The difficulties and losses, which frequently take place, from weighing wet or damaged cotton,will thus b ; obviated, & justice more equally administered to both buyer and seller.— Mobile Planter's Journal. New-Otii.eans, Dec. 17. FROM TEXAS. We arc indebted to the polite attention of Mr. Shaw, of the steam packet New- York, for Galveston papers to th; 13th in stant, inclusive. The Galveston peopl are rejoicing over the supposed recogni tion of Texas by England. Mr. Treat, the agent of the Mexican Government, on his return from Mexico, died on board the schooner of war San Antonio, on the 29th ult. his remains were brought to Galves ton, and interred with appropriate ceremo nies. We find the following in tho Galveston Courier of tiro 13th : ‘ Houston- house, Dee. 6th, — 3 o’clock P. M. “Marshall Busby has just a.tested the absconding Postmaster f.orn New Orleans. Mr. McQueen —and liar- him in safe keep ing. He is a fine looking man, and there appears to be some sympathy in his behalf, but what will be his fate 1 am unable to decide. It does Texas credit however to show such promptitude in tho arrest of fu gitives from justice in the United States.” The treacherous attempt of Canales to massacie his Texian auxiliaries, is spoken of by the Texians in terms of fitting indig nation. Congress has indefinitely postponed tho bill < < iiting a system of bankruptcy and regulating the collection of foreign debts. The salary of the Chief Justice oftli- Re public has been fixed at $3,000. A res olution has been passed h tho House of Representatives, directingthe military com mittee to inquire into the expediency of au thorizing the President to accept of the ser vices of 5,000 men, for the invasion of Mexico, allowing .hem to have what they take from tho enemy, and a league ofiand out of any they may conquer. A large quantity of sugar has been made on the Colorado th's season.— Bee. Froth the Knoxville Times. UNION BETWEEN THE EPISCO PALIANS AND METHODISTS. The Philadelphia Christian Observer says, that Bishop Smith of the Episcopal Clin ch in Kentucky, had addressed a let ter to tne Clergy of tho Kentucky Confer ence of the Methodist Church, proposing a union of the two denominations in one Church. Ho says, that to bring it about lie “would be cheerfully willing to adopt a modified Itineracy, Love Feast, and Class Meet' .its, and to take sc'a gradual, hut prospective me asures for re-union as should shock no man’s prejudices;” and hat, “on the part of the Methodists, all that would be necessary, would be a gradual return to U. r ’st- of some Form of Common prayer, and a slight concession to the Episcopa lians upon tho question of a succession in the Episcopacy.” Timely Advice. —Timon, die misan thrope, one day as-vended the rostrum, and thus adciessed tho people:—“Athenians, I have a small piece of ground on which I mean to build—there is a fig tree on it, which I must cut down-,—several citizens have hanged themselves on this tree, and if any of you desire to do the same, I now give you notice that you have not a mo ment to lose.” The Frankin ’ Privilege. —The Postmas ter General,says, during three weeks last summer in which an account was taken, there wore 22,038 free letters and packets sent from the Executive Departments, 29,- 363 free letters from members of Congress and 392,238 public documents and other franked packets, making in all 434,603. The public documents and packets from Congress weighed 82,609 lbs. Taking this as the average of the seas'on of thirty three weeks, it would appear that the free letters and packets sent from-the office in Washington during the late session of Con gress, amounted to 4,781,35!); and the two cents allowed to postmasters for the delivery of free hit ro would be $35,627. It may be estimated, Ko says, that there has been abstract.-d from the revenue the last veer, in the allowance of the two cents t<> postma- tors for die delivery of free letters and packets, amt the two cents paid for advertising free letters, tho sum of #150.- 009. Yesterday, an hour or two before t!i - usual hour of meeting of 1 louse of Repre sentatives, the gorgeous Chandafier which has been lately suspended in the Hall,with ; 1 ft s I'xlures and appendages, jell to the ll,kh . .

An hour or two later, had it fallen, it might have caused die death or wounding ot ma ny members. In consequence of tho confusion caused in the Hall by this accident, the House ad journed soon after meeting. This Chanda!ic-r was of American manu facture, weighed over seen thousand pounds, and cost -lor five thousand dollars. It wasthi’feen feet in diameter, coi. aincd 78 argand burners, and is said to have been ornamented by 2,650 c ut glass lustres, and 3,096 cut glass spangles.— National intel ligencer of the 19//i. The Remains of Napoleon. —The Bos ton Daily Advertiser of yesterday says:— The ship Calumi nt, Captain Sherve, which arrived at this port yesterday f.um Canton, left St. Helena Get. 24. On the 18th, the ceremony of exhumation, ot the remains of Napoleon took place with great parade.— The body, which on his death was embalm : tsd by French chemists, was found in a state ; of complete preservation, the features be ing preserved. It will be remembered that ; Napoleon died May 5, 1921. The body was conveyed oil board the- Belle Poule, which with the Favorite, sailed for France on the 19th. These ships sailed from : France July 7, and arrived at St. Helena Oct.

The latter is determined to clki!- lenge the former, but their friends cannot a gree as to the distance. The young lady, I it is further stated, for the sake of quiet, is willing to take them in a lump, but her lawyer says she will be indicted for biga my. AN INCIDENT. It is staled in the St. Louis Bulletin that after the national salute, one gun for Ohio, and one for old Kentuck, had been fired, on tiie day of the celebration, Captain Griins ley, tho master of ceremonies, gave an or der that tho largest gun be heavily char ged, and that it be fired in honor of Gener al Jackson’s military services. The gun was loaded “fire” given—the torch was ap plied—and strange, as it may appear, the p- v. Jer refused to perform its office—it flashed in the “ pan.” Tho cry was then “ prime it again, and give it to Old Tip.” The gun was reprimed—torch applied— and it seemed as if all the elements of earth, joy and exultation mingled in its bursting discharge. It was the heaviest gun lired all day. Literary Statistic.— ln the library of Mr. Rogers, the poet, at his house in St. James’ Place, London, is the original a greement between Milton and his publisher Samuel Symons, in 166 C, for the copyright of “ Paradise Lost.” Jtis written on one pay- of foolscap, signed hv the contrac ting parties, and witnessed by “John Fish er,” and “Benjamin Green, servant to Mr. Milton.” The autograph of the poet, not withstanding his blindness, is remarkably regular and distinct. This interesting re lic, wc need hardly say, is carefully pre . rved by its distinguished owner: it is framed and glazed, and occupies a promi nent place on the walls of the classical j & hospitable mansion of the Poet of Memo ry Mr. Rogers, wc believe, gave seventy j guineas for this relic ! For the poem itself, ■ Milton received ten pounds,'five being paid in advance, and the other five at the expi ration of two years, when 1300 copies Lad been sold. For each edition, not exceed ing 1500 copies, 5 pounds were to be paid, but in seven years the poet died, and the , widow disposed of all her “right, title, and interest” in the work for an additional sum of eleven pounds. Thus the whole copyright of “ Paradise Lost” brought to the author and his family seventeen pounds and tho bit of paper on which the agree ment was written was sold and eagerly purchas ’d for seventy guineas! Milton was more than fifty years of age, blind, infirm i and solitary, when he began the composi j tion of his great epic. At a similar ad vanced peiiod of life, Sir Walter Scott, struck with misfortune, entered into an en i gagement to liquidate, by his literary exer tions, a debt of j£ 120,000. Milton rested his long cherished hopes of lasting fame upon the work thus late begun ; Scott staked bis character and reputation upon tho fulfilment of his last engagement.— Bold entered with characteristic ardor upon their tasks, and, amid the pressure of in creasing ago and infirmity, never lost sight of their anticipated reward. In scvei years, Milton completed Ins divine poem, i ami 1 eld in his hand his passport to immor tality. In seven years, Scott, had paid all but one-sixth of his enormous load of debt. 1 The prize was within view, independence seemed almost in Lis grasp ; but lie had overtasked his strength, and disease, soon to be followed by death, came like an arm’ and man; soon closed the superhuman strug gle. When will the annals of literature react'd again two such instances of heroic determination, under such adverse circum stances, united to the highest creative genius, and crowned with such marvellous results?— lnverness < ‘otiricr. Discovert/ of the use of Alcohol. —The following curious account of the first use made of alcoholic liquors, is translated from a French work, entitled Lc Someur Soiree. “Who, at the time when an Arabian Chemist, devoted to the search after a uni versal solvent, bv means of which ho could transmute lie tais, discovered alcohol, could have determined the result o f that discov ery upon the morality an i prosperity ot mankind ? It did not really issue from the domain of chemistry till toward the end of the thirteen h century, when they began in Spain and italv |o sell the spirits of wine, tinctured with certain herbs, as a powerful remedy in various diseases. Later still, the Genoese extracted a spirituous liquor from grain. Passing it oil’ as a powerful specific, they sold it in small phials at a ■ h p. : •(', t"’der (lie name of aqua vitae, w.-'-r o: O’ •[!,. . Til I Iho ( ltd of the 19tb century, il was eons-. :• i m I as a nn dieine, and sold only by ‘.lie apmli cearies. About that time the thought was suggested, of furnishing it to miners, who labored in 11n mines of’ Hungary, ai a pre servative against heat and damp. Th” custom almost at the same time was intro duced into Ireland. “Among the ordinances of Henry VIII. is one which prohibits more :!ii’n one manufacturer of spirituous liqu is to establish himself in the towns. In the reign of Mary, an act of Parliament, which describes a liquor of which it Is injurious t i drink for daily use,prohibits entirely any distilling. We, however, find, some years after, the English soldiers who supported i the cause of Holland, in the Low Coun -1 tries, drinking it as a cordial. This is the commencement of the period from which is dated its manufacture on a large scale both in England and on the Continent. In Eng land, however, the use of beer prevailed with the people till the reign of W illiam and Alary, when, the government having 1 encouraged distillation by various meas ures, the consumption of spirits became ex cessive. Smollet says, that the retailers of brandy Invited passengers, by signs placed over their shops, to drink for the trilie of a penny,—adding, “that for two pi ncc they ; could make themselves drank, and that ; they could furnish with straw those who wee in that state, to lie upon until they recover.” Mr. Editor, —Please to announce the subjoined ticket for Justices of the Inferior Court, to be chosen on Monday next. 11.

Bickkxs, Bulwee, Talfouris Mittorp, Ains worth, Dewey, Sedgwick, lainfellow, have few compeers in their time and . few are worthy of being ranked vvi h them. it was not to be wondered at that llio Nf.w World became a great favorite with the into'- ligent and reading public. There was onlv one objection made to it —and that was to its size.— The Folio form was the most popular but not most convenient for those, who considered the works which it contained too valuable to be thrown aside. For such reader.-, the Quar'o was commenced in J une last, and for such it will be continued. For the new volume, commencing in January, we ask the subscriptions of all lovers of pure and elegant literature throughout the country. U cask them too to favor us with their names im mediately, that we may wit fall short of the num ber that it ill be required in this form. The rc:i sonableness cl this request will bo understood whan we state that orders are every day receiv ed .hr back numbers which cannot be supplied. Ten tunes the i iibccription price would now 1 - cheerfully paid by those, who delayed to .-eml early orders. The scarcity of old numbers is an admirable proof of their value ; in them are con tained works sold for sixpence and one shilling, which cost i:i the original editions cue dollar and sometimes five dollars. The New World will be conducted as ir has bee i, with those improvements anil additions, v.hicli time.and experience have not tailed I” suggest. It will he complete in all the depart ments of a first rale literary journal. From the extensive acquaintance enjoyed by the Editors with all (lie best writers and critics of the coun try, this will be no very diiiicult task, it wid continue to be- .iked by Park Benjamin and Epes Sargent.
