(Ictit in a University, took a walk one day
with n piol'essor, who was commonly called
** tlm student's Iriend,” such was tho kind
ness to the young men, whose office it was to
instruct.
While, they were walking together, and
ihn pidlessor was seeking to lead the convol
ution to grave subjects, they saw a pair of old
shoes lying in their path, which they sup
posed to belong to a poor man who was at
work m the field dose by, and who had
neatly finished his day's work.
Tlm young student turned to the professor
saying—
'• Lm us play the man a hick: we will
hide Ins shoes, and conceal ourselves behind
those hushes, and watch to see Ins perplexity
when ho cannot find them.
' My dear friend.' anstvetml the professor,
'we must never amuse ourselves at the ex
pense of the poor. Hut you are rich, and
yop tiny fiive youtselfa much greater plea
sure hy means ol tin-poor man. l*ut a dol
lar into e tch shoe, and then we will hide out- ,
selves.'
The student did so, and then placed him
self with the ptofessor behind the bushes
close by, through winch they could easily
wa'Cli the laborer, and see whatever wonder
or joy In; might express,
i This pom man soon finished his work and
came across the field to the path, where he
, had lull Iris coat and shoes. While lie put
oil tlm coat, he slipped one foot into one of
his bIioqs ; but feeling something hard, lie
stooped down and found the dollar. Aston
ishment and wonder were seen upon his
1 countenance, lie gay.**d upon tlu'dollar, turn
ed it around, and looked again and again;
then he looked aiotnid him on all soles, hill
I could see no one. Now he put the money in
his pocket, and proceeded to put on the oilier
i shoe; but how great was his astonishment
when lie found ill" other dollar! His feelings
j overcame him, In* fell upon Ins knees, look
ed up to heaven and utteml aloud a feivant
thanksgiving, in which In* spoke of his wife,
sick and helpless, and his children wiilmiii

I known hand would save trout perishing.
Tho young man stood there deeply nfi’ec•

MINOR MORALS OF THE MEXICANS.
[Special Correapondenee of tlie Picayune.]
CAMAROo, August 26, 1846.
Editors of the Picayune—I have been
walking about town this evening, looking at
the Mexicans as they were “doing up their
chores" for (he night. A little back I rum the
pla/.a. the streets were filled with herds of
goats nnd sheep. They herd these two use
ful animals together, and they seem so much
attached to each other, that “separating the
sheep from the goats" would be as hard work
in Mexico as drawing a correct dividing line
between the Indian and Castilian races.—
These Mexicans tire a primitive people in
their habits. They plough their fields with
crooked sticks drawn by oxen, with slicks for
yokes, lashed to their horns. They grind
their corn and mix the dough both in one
operation, the only instance in which they go
ahead of the Americans, nnd bake nnd eat it,
all at one sitting. The idea of sitting down
before a dish of whole corn, ami cat tying
away a portion of it hi my stomach, on tising,
was novel to me, but l have frequently done
it here. At sundown (he women tutu out
with their earthen jars, to bring drinking wa
ter from tlie river, and the streets are filled
with them. I am told by some of my bache
lor friends, ou whose taste 1 can rely, that
there is always “ a right smart sprinkling" of
pretty feel and ankles displayed on such oc
casions, but not being a judge of such mat
ters, my attention i* always tlirucied to the
jars, which are primitive enough, and remind
me of the women mentioned in sacred histo
ry—of Rebecca, etc. From sunrise until 10
o'clock in (lie morning the watei's edge is
lined with females washing clothes. About
8 o'clock, A. M m the water contains a great
many of them of all ages, bathing. This
morning I lose very early in order to go down
anti bathe before the scuoras and seuorttas
were out. After selecting an obscure place,
I plunged in, and was enjoying the refresh
ing element, when I beard female voices de
scending tlie steep bank to the very nook I
bail chosen ! There was no escape, foi there
was no other landing place in a hundred yards;
my clothes were on shore, and might bo
c.utied oil*; there was a strong eddy to pasts;
I was caught: An empty barrel was fastened
by a string to the shore, and l retreated be
hind ihn (loaiing bulwark, merely peeping
over, to sec who was coming. A young
“lady," about eighteen, with two small girls,
do-cetided to tho water's edge, within six feet
of me, and looked at my clothes. “ Vcslidos,
Americanos/" said one of the little gitls,
pointing to my clothes. I raised my head
suddenly above thu barrel, hoping to frighten
them away, hut to my surprise tlie fair seuo-
nta, inMcad of being startled, very politely
bid me “ buenus dius," and all hands began
to show unmistakable signs of joining me in
my aquatic exercise. This rendered me
desperate, and forgetting every tiling like
gallantly, l sang out “ Tamos! vamos/•' at
them, hut they only laughed at my poor ef
fort at Spanish, and went on with their pre
parations. The only way in which l could
get rid of them was by spattering them with
water and mud, aud crying “ Tamos." In
stances of this kind occur here every day. t

intelligence—The markets, Sfc. &fc».
The steam ihip Cambria, Captain Judkins,
arrived at Boston at about 8 o'clock (hi*
morning. Thi* fact wm immediately an
nounced to us over the lightniog line. ’
She sailed from Liverpool on tho 4th in
stant, and her news is therefore helf ■ month
later.
The intelligence, in a commercial point of
view, ia of the highest importance.
The price of Cotton had advanced suffi
cient ly to increase the value of one whole crop
upwards of five millions of dollars.
There had been an improvement in the
prices of Grain, with an excellent demand.
One mercantile firm in Limeriok, has tent
out for a dozen cargoes of Indieo corn.
The Cambria brings ooe hundred and
thirty-three passengers—one hundred aod

Hon. Washington Irving, our late mioieter
to Spain, nnd D. Maynard, Esq., bearer of
despatches; Rev. E. Kirk, Rev. Dr. Dewitt,
nnd the celebrated " Cruikshanke," the cari
caturist.
The Chamber of Deputies opened on the
17t!i ultimo, with the usual speech from the
throne, which was received by’ the steamer
of the 19th of August. The proceedings of
the Chambers have since been confined to
the verification of the election oi each Depu
ty. When this ia completed they will re
turn an answer to the King's speech to which
the Peer* have already *eni up their reply.
Joseph Henry, who fired at the King on
the 29th July, has been tried by the Peeta,
found guilty aud was condemned to work io
the galleys for life. No doubt is entertaioed
that the fellow is insane. His MSS. letters
nnd his conduct prove it. During the trial
lie expressed a wish to be condemned to
death; but a new Slate policy towards these
regicides has prevented the realization of this
ambitious desire for " hero woiahip.”
Considerable discussion has taken place io
the French journals relative to the reoegl
alterations in the American tariff.
The Constitulioncllhioks the tariff still too
high, and enforces on the American govern
ment the necessity of establishing docks and
•'entre pots."
The grain crops have been gathered in the
Biitisli Island, the general impression is that
wheat will be an average yield. Oats tho
same, Potatoes, owing to disease, are every
where a fa.lure.
The news from America announcing tbit
the American government had made over
tures of peace to the republic of Mexico,
caused n great change in the aspect of Mexi
can affairs, and produced quite a revolution
iu the market value of that stock.
The Biink of England has lowered its rate
of interest to 3 per cent, nnd the effect has
been visible in improving the pi ice ot public
funds. This movement gives greater facili
ties to trade, anil is intended to obviate all
evil consequences of the fuilute in the potato
crop. Iu thus acting, the directors have in
curred some censure, counterbalanced by n
