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|?. Destrotixo Insects bt'clmomiie.—ln the Irish Ganlerners Magazine, it |s staled, not only that decoctions of the leav s| of the common Camomile will destroy jbut that nothing ■ contributes so much to the health of a garden as a number of Camomile plants lispersed through it. No green house or hot hou e should ever be without earn mile in a green or, dried state ; either the stalks or the flowers will mswer. It is a singular fact, that :f a plant is i roopingand appa rently dying, in nine cases but of ten it will recover if you place a plan-t of camomile near it. i | 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, fv while the s m continued tofcooduct his business S honorably and uprightly foi, fifteen years, and has now retired on an estate vvhicli he purchased, and where he resides, respected :at|d esteemed by all ; who know him. | I Suffrage iv Fu *kck.-|~lj'lance contains 33 millions of people, and has fill'o,ooo voters. No man can vote who does not pay ”00 francs annual tax. There are now t ree parties opposed to this system. One goes for universal suffrage, but the delegates to be chosen by < ieciors. A second is for a moderate extension of thp right, and a third contends for universal sulfi afge without any res triction. || j v Govirnohs looking up. —His excellency Isaac Hill, for six years nv rmer of the Senate of the United States, and suk. for several vears Governor of the Co nmonwccllh of New | Hampshire, has become ecstolr of a weekly paper * called “ The Farmer's Frieinid’ We congratulate bi n on his promotion, and p int to the case as il luslrativeof the maxim, tha industry and applica lion lead to success.— U, Gazette * r A f Thk Water of the Dfhr Sea.—To my verv agreeable surprise.

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.

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.

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.

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.
