U «p,red the hearts of the patria M.jj of old who tar*
B neci their wives by the swea <lf their venerated
brows. | •
Courtship is a very curious process, and has a
most singular influence on if sj who are su' ject
to it. It sti ;ds over tie stern e;ss of man’s brow
$ the placidity of hope. It < iiajugcs the hoa se
tones of the lip into melody a sj>tl as the breath
ings of the ‘sweet south.' It ofjens the obdurate
heart of man, and transmutes idijat was rough and
f coarse into genileness ami t njerness. I have
f known men who lor years liijd pissed among
those who knew them for tou hjami gnarled suh
: stances, incapable of a smile epaf sympathy. sud
sdenly changed by the influence <d love into devo
f tees as soft and as plastic to the impressions of a
! glance or a word as a lady ev’r practiced her fas-
I cinations uj»on. —Much cand ; r j res not general
i ly characterize a courtship. -B ich party endea
vors to impress the other wit a sense of its own
i inapproachable excellence t id perfection, and
; each one assumes a charactei which is supposed
[ best adopted to tlie produclic b of such ile.usi m.
It is frequently an atfair of « icitery. The gen
tleman endeavors to make th ; 1 uly believe he has
no thought which is not subfile, nor an impulse
which is not generous and npbli-; an 1 she strives
to delude him into ttie opini lu jhat she is a com
bination of all that is truthful; gintle, and elegant.
With such soil illusions pluyfiuj; on the eye, the
twain enter into the ‘blessed |sli|te of matrimony,’
to dream awhile.and then toiw; Ue to a conscious
ness of having been mistakeri. This is frequent
ly the course pursued during ourtship, and the
result that transpires after |ni irriage; although
neither the one nor the olhtjr | osition is by any
means universally true. Th|it persons should be
as open as day during the pj-ri >d of their court
ship, has always been my op|nt m as well as mv
practice; for there is no disajjpt inlment rn <re ut
terly withering to our hopes,} tl an that whiedi as
sures us that t..e object on wjiicn we have lavish
ed the opulence of our affeclticjns is less worthy
than we fondly dreamed it t| h|?.

An Hovest Attoiivet.—.in attorney, on the
marriage of his son. gave hi n oOOu end handed
|| him over a chancery suit with some common law
actions. About uvo years & s ft«rwaids the son as
ked his father for more husiheijs. “Why. I gave
you that capital chancery sufit.l' replied the father,
••ami then you have got a g pafmnny new clients,
what more can you want 1”j i*Yes, sir,” replied
the son, but I have wound Jup the chancery
suit, and given my client great satisfaction, ami
he is in possession of .he esta e.” “What, you
improvident fool,” rejoined llhe father, indignantly,
“that suit was in my family twenty-five years,
and would have continued eta :js much I mger if I
hid kep' it. 1 shall not encvuijage such a fellow.”
The sequel of the story is tpaf t’.e father died a
few years afterwards in |orhp trative poverty,

now retired on an estate vvhicli he purchased, and

Thk Water of the Dfhr Sea.—To my verv
agreeable surprise. I found he shore, fine, smooth,
gravelly, and deepening ve y .slowly, so that a per
son might wade in for one distance. There
was a long the shore drift |v.» >J, most of it sm ii!,
but still larger than any I I'i djsceu on the Jordan.
-Th s would seem to inuaj'ie that somevviie.e
on the shores there is morj- timber than we found
on the spot we visited. Th water was not only ve
ry salt, but it was likewise exceedingly bitter,as
much as most travellers hi .e stated. The great
density of the water was amply proved by its
power to bear up th ’ body, .■ Tiicre is some truth
in the saying that it requijesjan effort to keep the
feet and legs und.-r, so as to use them with advan
| tage in swimming. I could he on my back in the
water, with my head, bajiJs and feet all out at
the same time and remaiif thus as long as I plea
-11 «»ed, without inaking any . tion whatever; this
| I could not do in any otlger water that I have
* been in. Still it is carry, g the matter 100 far,
and beyond the truth, whim it is said to be so hea
vy or so dead, that it nevlr pises in waves, hut
always lies smooth and let the wind
blow as it will. The d|ifllwooJ thrown out is
evidence to the contrary. —Alters on Palestine

Liverpool, March, 23.
The arrivals during the week have been heavy
owingto a change of wind, and the disposition to
effect sales being very general, thi market has be
come flat at a deelie of }d per lb for the better
qualities, and }d for the middling and ordii-ary des
criptions of American. Brazil is wituoul change,
and Surat, if any thing, is rather higher. The bu
siness of the week amour.ts to 20.170 bales, (of
which 1200 American arc on speculation, and’ 8.50
American for export.l and comprises 16 ) Sea Isl
and at 13d to 23d. with 60 Stained at 5d to 12d;
4770 Bowed s}d to 6id; 1900 Mobile, Alabama
end Tennesse, ojd to 6;;d; 10,000 New Orleans,
s}d to 7}d. The sales to-day amount to 5000 bags!
at steady prices. Cotton is freely brought on the
market for sa eas soon as lan led. 500 Surat at
4f Ito sd, and the remainder, principally Ameri
can, s}d to 7d per lb. On Saturday 2500
were sold.

The sales to day amount to 1500 bales without
change in prices.
Havre, March 23d.
Cottons. —lmmediately after the publication of
our preceding circular, the Sy Me-dc-Grasse, from
New-York, came in with advices to 17th u!t. the
tenor of w ich, coupled with the previous unfavor
able intelligence from the interior, and the reserve
generally shown by dealers, created a farther down
ward tendency in our market. The decline on
American Cottons during the week, was conse
quently 11 a 2, whilst the purchases were confined
merely to strict necessities. There has however
been a tolerably fair export demand, owing to the
low prices here compared with Liverpool, and a
good amount of business was transacted for foreign
markets; the sales were mostly in the qualities
ranging from 75f to 80.
March 24.
No feature deserving particular notice has occur
red in our Cotton market. The demand forborne
use continues limited. The sales yesterday were
900 bales, half of which for export, and mostly in
Upland at S( f a S4f. To-day the aspect of the
market is tiie same, and notwithstanding the low'
prices oi the raw' material, traders are reluctant
to operate. The receipts within two days are 4000
bales.
Some Up'ands (petit courant) wmre run ofTat 81 f
a S 1,501. and a lot of 301 bales do.) bon ordinaire
and petit courant.) at 79f. But notwithstanding
that riie aspect of trade, upon the whole, is far
from en ivening, and that the high cost of Grain
weighs heavily on the working classes, which will
consequently in a great measure art as a drawback
on the consumption of Cotton goods, it cannot be
said that buyers appear over-anxious to realise; it
V'ou'd rather seem that they are looking forward
to a line spring season, which, if attended bv pros
pects of an abundant harvest wi l undoubtedly re
store activity to the manufacturing departments,
and give a new impulse to specu'ation. A partial
change of weather brought in several arriva s last
w't ek, but the wind has once more veered to the
eastward. We received on Saturday last, via Kn
g and. New York dates to 23 ultimo, which have
not produced any farther change in our rates.
The sales from loth to 23d March were 6,035
bales, viz: 3144 bales New Orleans, duty paid,f63

PEDIGREE.
J R. H. Acklin, Esq. of Huntsville, Alabama,
certifies as follows :—‘Tom'! unstall was foaled
mine on the 29th May, 1831. His dam was High
land Mary and her dam a full-blooded Archie mare;
tne sire of Highland Mary was old Pacolef. Tom
Tunstall was sired by o d Pacific, and he by old
Sir Archie. This is as far as lam able to go, tho’
j I am satisfied Tom Tunstall has descended fiomas
good a stuck as any horse in the United States.—
He was a race horse of the first order, but I lear
will never be able to make a first rate race again,
owing to his leg; it was injured when a three year
old, in training, as I believe. By addressing Har
dy Cryer. Gallatin, Tennessee,you can get a ful!
i pedigree of the dam of Tom Tunstall,” The same
| Mr. Hardy Cryer certifies thus :—“ Highland Ma/y
j combined as many or more rich crosses of thorougn
' breds than any maie ever raised in Tennessee.—
1 She wa« got by the noted horse Pacolet, the son of
impoited Citizen ; her dam Bosey Carey by Sir
j Archie; grand-darn Saily Jones by the imported
; horse Traveller, ca,led Big Hen or Charlemaine,
(son of O’Kelle; ’s Eclipse, and one of the purest
importations of the last century;) great grand-dam
by the imported horse Wrangier;greaf-great-grand
dam O’Possum by imported Shark; great-great
great-grand-dam by the celebrated American quar
ter race horse, Goode’s old Twigg; great-great
greal-great-grand-dam by imported Fearnaught;
great-great-great-great-<£ieat-grand dam by Lee’s
old Mark Anthony outof a mare by imported Mon
key.” Gn the she’s side it is deemed unnecessary
to trace beyond Sir Archie. It is presumed none
will require a purer or better atto=te I pedegree! —
