The Census of JKichmoiid Cimuty.
In the Constitutionalist of Monday ve observed
a statement of the census of Richmond County,
which puts down the population at 1 i ,1:68 :ouls.
In this result we have not been disappointed, the
duties were neglected until the last i: ew weeks,
and then they were entered upon by various per
sons, and the result proves that ma-jy families
have have been overlooked. This subject was
casually mentioned in our office yestsijday among
a few gentlemen, and there were tfupe heads of
families present, and we doubt not thexf are many
more, who had never been called on. A?nd yet it is
by such a census as this, taken in such 4 way, that
Georgia must submit to her apportionment of rep
resentation in Congress. \
The legislature.
This body was organized on Monday last, by the
election of the Hon. Thomas Stocks, of Green
County President of the Senate, and the Hon.
Charles J. Jenkins, of this city, Speaker of the
House of Representatives. We have later ac
counts.
The Charleston Courier of yesterday says:—The
Northern Mail due yesterday, was onl} iV m Wel
don, N. C.
Passengers brought on the New York Herald of
Friday, and the Baltimore Republican of Saturday,
but we find nothing in them of importance.
The only information that could be given as to
the result of the election in Pennsylvania was,
that the city of Philadelphia proper, had gone for
the Whigs, but the majority was not known.
Advertising.—On this subject Lord Prouhham
sayS, (and certainly he is a very sensible person,)
that the advantages of advertising are hot fully
appreciated by men who have just entered into
business for themselves. If they are anxious to
become known —receive patronage and acquire
property —they must advertise freely, it is the
only proper mode to be pursued, and is a sure
guarantee to success. Them’s our sentiments.”

From Texas.
The steam packet ship Savannah, Capt. 'Wade’
arrived yesterday morning from Galveston, bring
ing us dates from the new Republic to the 23
inst. We find the following news in our files*
The Austin Sentinel of a late date contains the
following extract of a letter, dated
i.p,A Vit.t.a us nos Jacates, Sejn. 20.
“Sir—An express arrived at the head juarters
of the Federal army, yesterday from Montere,
"bringing information th?t Gen. Lrrea was 12
miles from the city of Mexico, in moraeruary ex
pectation of being attacked by the united forces
of Bustamente and Gen. Santa Anna, who had
foimed an alliance to sustain centralism.
“The Texian fleet had been at Yucatan; they
were received as a national fleet; the ptvus were
illuminated, and one of the grandest and most
splendid festivals ever known in the country was
given to the officers of the Texian fleet in Cam
peachy. The Federalists of \ ucalan end Cam
peachy are anxious to form an alliance with
Texas.
“ Col. Jordon sent an express a few days ago
to Gen. Canales, to march with all expedition to
the Rio Grande; that Gen. Reyas was within 39
miles of him, with 700 men, with orders from
Arista to attack him forthwith ; but thsit he was
in such a position that General Reyas could not
do it.
“Canales is determined to attack Reyas as
soon as he can unite his forces with tho;«; under
Col. Jordan, which will now be in a fi;w days.
His force amounts to 400 Americans, sod 600
Mexicans.
[The letter says the rifles have done their du
ty before this.']
“ Gen. Reyas asserts, on the authority: of Go
mez Farrias, the present President of Mexico,
that the independence of Texas would; be ac
knowledged before the expiration of six months,
by Mexico. [
“ I have a letter from Montere, from an old
acquaintance, which makes the same assertion.
He is just from the city of Mexico. If you have
any speculations on hand, push them—unless
Gen. Urrea meets with a defeat, and as yet ail is
in his favor.” I
We have a private letter from Galveston, writ
ten on the 23d, which states that the Igouston
Morning Star, received the previous day, c ontain
ed information, direct from the West, tc? this ef
fect: “That Arista was marching up .the Rio
Grande (this side) in pursuit of a division of the
Federalists, (probably those under Col. Jordon.)
when Canales with the remainder, fell u*»on his
rear, and the other party wheeled and slacked
him in front. In a short time Arista capitulated
surrendering all his baggage, six cannt.r;, and
1,200 men. One of the provisions of tho capit
ulation was, that Matamoras should be rU once
given up to the Federalists.”
The Austin Sentinel says—“We have been
informed by a gentlemen from San Anlor jo, that
the Federal cause in Northern Mexico Sis still
flourishing; and that they have every prospect 01
ultimate success. Col. Seguin has been Ssnder
ed the office of Brigadier General in the federal
army, and he is now awaittng orders on ijie Me

probable he will resign his seat in the Senate o.

From Havana —By the brig Apalachicola,
Capt. Thompson, we have received our files of
Havana papers to the 17th instant, and have
been obligingly favored with extracts from private
letters, which we publish to day 7 .
The Diario claims for tfie Prince of Anglono
the meed of praise for the impartial, correct, and
efficient discharge of his official duties as Gov.
General. Among his efforts to ameliorate the
condition of the unfortunate, is mentioned the
Asylum for Orphan children, which he is buil
ding ; he is relaxing the prison discipline, especi
ally where they are confined for political offences;
delighting the gay world by improving the pub
lic promenades, rearing fountains and planting
groves—encouraging the sciences, by liberal do
nations to the societies in aid of the purchase
of apparatus, &c. &c.
A new weekly periodical, to be called “The
Repertory of Useful Knowledge,” is about to be
issued in Havana. Its terms ot subscription arc
rather novel. It is to be published by the Savings
Bank, lately established there. The price of sub
scription is $6 per annum—two of which are
deemed to be the actual cost of the work, and the
remaining $4 are to be deposited in the Bank
to the credit of the subscriber, who is to receive
6 percent, interest. It is calculated and announ
ced to the public, that each subscriber can receive
the work for twelve years, and have his 72 dol
lars in his pocket at the end of the term.
A medical Journal is about to be published.
It is to be issued weekly; and it is remarked by
the Editor, that a good work of the kind is much
needed, as quackery is more general there than
in any place in the world.
Expenses of Matrimony. —We copy the fol
lowing from the Noticioso of the 1 Ith. A han
some and discreet lady has politely communica
ted to us the following interesting calculation :
Expellees of marrying in Havana. Ist. A man
whose fortune does not allow him to keep a gig,
but has a mere cabin, with three windows to the
street, the expence will bo §2OO0 —to buy two

that it is not aisolutely safe to marry at all with

that the bachelor-state is stil dearer. We have
an old proverb which says “the best always costs
the most.”
Last Card. — Quere? Is the conspiracy of the
New York Locofocos the last Card, 01 oniy a part
of the last deal. Some think the last card is the
civil war of the Globe. The Whigs will come
out high, low, and game; ail that will be left to the
Locos in the knave.
Census of Baltimore. —We learn from N.
Snider Esq. Marshal, that the census of the City
of Baltimore has been completed, and that the
total population is 101,490 souls—being an in
crease of 20,865 since 1830,
llulwer’s Eugene Aram.
Bulwer has issued a new edition of his ro
mance founded on the well known incidents in
the life of Eugene Aram. The novelist has en
riched the edition with fresh matter, and we ex
tract the following Preface as worthy of perusal :
The strange history of Eugene Aram had ex
cited my interest and winder long before the
present work was composed or conceived. It so
happened, that during his residence at Lynn, his ;
reputation for learning had atti acted the notice !
of my grandfather—a country gentleman living
in the same county, and of more intelligence and
accomplishments than, at that day, usually cha
racterised his class. Aram frequently visited at
Heydon (my grandfather’s house,) and gave les
sons, probably in no very elevated branches of
erudition, to the younger members of the family.
This I chanced to hear when I was on a visit in
Norfolk, some two years before this novel was j
published, and it tended to increase the interest
with which I had previously speculated on the
phenomena of a trial which, lake it altogether, is
perhaps the most remarkable in the register of;
English crime. I endeavored to collect such anec
dotes of Aram’s life and manners as tradition and .
hearsay still kept afloat. These anecdotes were
so far uniform that they all concurred in repre
senting him is a person who, till the detection of
the crime for which he was sentenced, had ap
peared of the mildest character and the most un
exceplionale morals. An invariable gentleness
and patience in his mod 3 of tuition—qualities
then very uncommon at schools —had made him
so beloved by his pupils at Lynn, that, in after
life, there was scarcely one of them who did not
persist in the belief of his innocence. His per
sonal and moral peculiarities', as described in
these pages, are such as were related to me by
many who had heard him described by his con
temporaries: the calm beniern countenance —the
delicate health—the thoughtful stoop —the noise
less step —the custom, not uncommon with scho
lars and absent men, of muttering to himself—a
singular eloquence in conversation, when once
roused from silence—an active tenderness and
charity to the poor, with whom he was always
ready to share his own scanty means—an appa
rent disregard to money, except when employed
in the purchase of books—an utter indifference
to the ambition that usually accompanies self
taught talent, whether to better the condition or
to increase the repute ; —these and other traits of
the character portrayed in the novel, are, as far
I can rely on my information, faithful to the fea
tures of the original. That a man thus described
—so benevolent that he would rob his own to
administer to the necessities of another, so hu
mane that he would turn aside from the worm in
his path—should have been guilty of the foulest
of human crimes, a murder, for the sake of gain ;
that a crime thus committed should have been so
episodical and apart from the rest of his career,
that, however it might rankle in his conscience,
it should never have hardened his nature; that,
through a life of some duration, none of the er
rors, none of the which would seem essen
tially to belong to a character capable of a deed
so black from motives apparently so sordid,*
should have been discovered or suspected ; —all
this presents an anomaly in human conduct so
rare and surprising, that it would be difficult to
find any subject more adapted for that metaphy
sical speculation and analysis, in order to indulge
which, fiction, whether in the drama or the high
er class of romance, seeks its materials and
grounds its lessons in the chronicles of passion
* ‘ For I put wholly out of the question the ex
cuse of j ealousy, as unsupported by any evidence
—never hinted at by Aram himself (at least on
any sulfa i. nt author: ty } — and at variance with the
only fact which the trial establishes, viz: that the
robbery was the crime planned, and the cause,
whether accidental or otherwise, of the murder.
and ciime. The guilt of Eugene Aram is » ,l
that of a vulgar ruffian ; it leads to views and
considerations vitally and wholly distinct from
those with which profligate knavery or bru
tal cruelty and revolt, and displease us in the
literature of Newgate and the Hulks. His crime
does, in fact, belong to those startling p aradoxes
which the poetry of ail countries, and especially
of our own, has always delighted to contemplate
and examine. Whenever crime appears the ab
beration and monstrous product of a great inti ■-
lect, or of a nature ordinarily virtuous, it becomes
not only the subject for genius, which deals with
passions, to describe, but a problem for philoso
phy, which deals with actions, to investigate and
solve:—hence the Macheths and Richards, the
Fagos and Othelios. My regret, therefore, is not
that I chose a subject unworthy of elevated fic
tion, but that such a subject did notoceur ro some
one capable of treating it as it deserves; and I
| never felt this more strongly than when the late
Mr. Godwin (in conversing with me after the
publication of this romance) observed that * he
had always thought the story of Eugene Aram
peculiarly adapted for fiction, and that he had
more than «nce entertained the notion of making
it the foundation of a novel.’ I can well con
ceive what depth and power that gloomy record
would have taken from the dark and inquiring
genius of the author of ‘ Caleb VV illiarns.’
In fact, the crime and trial in Eugene Aram
arrested the alten.ion and engaged the conjeciures
of many of the most eminent men of his own time.
His guilt or innocence was the matter of strong
contest; and so keen and so enduring was the
sensation cheated by an event so completely dis
tinct from the ordinary annals of human crime,
that even History turned aside from the sonorous
narrative of the struggles of parties and the feuds
of kings, to commemoiate the learning and the
guilt of the humble schoolmaster of Lynn. Did
I want any other answer to (he animadversions of
commonplace criticism, it might be sufficient to
say that w hat the historian relates, the novelist
has little right to disdain. Before entering on this
romance, I examined with some care the probabili
ties of Aram’s guilt; for I need scarcely, perhaps,
observe, that the legal evidence against him is
extremely deficient—furnished almost entirely by
one (Houseman) confessedly and accomplice ot
the crime, and a partner in the booty ; and that,
in the present day, a man tried upon evidence so
scanty and ssupicious would unquestionably es
cape conviction. Nevertheless, I must frankly
own that the moral evidence appeared to be more
convincing than the legal; and, though not with
out some doubt, which, in common with many,
I still entertain of the real facts of the murder, I
adopted that view which, at all events, was the
best suited to the higher purposes of fiction. On
the whole, I still think that if the crime were com
mitted by Aram, the motive was not very far re
moved from one which led recently to a remarka
ble murder in Spain. A priest in that country,
wholly absorbed in learned pursuits, and apparent
ly of spoiless life, confessed that, being debarred
by extreme poverty from prosecuting a study
which had become the sole passion of his exis
tence, he had reasoned himself into the uehef that
it would be admissible to rob a very dissolute,
worthless man, if he applied the money so obtain
ed to the acquisition of a knowledge which he
he could not otherwise acquire, and which he
held to be profitable to mankind. Unfortunately,
the dissolute rich man was not willing to be rob
ed for so excellent a purpose: be was armed and
he resisted—a struggle ensued, and the crime of
homicide was added to that of robbery. The
robbery was premeditated . the murder was ac
cidental. But he who would accept somesirnilar
interpretation of Aram’s crime, must, to compre
hend fully the lessons which belong to so terrible
a picture of frenzy and gout, consider also the
physical circumstances and condidition of the
criminal at that time; severe illness—intense la
bour ot the brain—poverty bordering upon famine
—the mind prcternaturally at work, devising
schemes, and excuses, to arriue at the means for
ends ardently desired. And all tins duly consider
ed, the reader may see the crime bodying itself
out from the shades and chimeras of a horrible
hallucination—the aw ful dream of a brief but
deliriousandconvulseddisea.se. It is thus only
that we can account for the contradiction of one
deed at war with a whole life—blasting, indeed,
for ever the happiness but making little revolu
tion in the pursuits and disposition of the charact
er. No one who has examined with caro and
tcoughtfulness the aspect of Life and Nature, but
must allow that, in the contemplation ol such a
spectacle, great and most moral truths must force
themselves on the notice and sink deep into the
heart. The entanglements of human reasoning;
the influence of circumstance upon deeds; the
perversion that may be made, by one selt-palter
with the Fiend, of elements the most, glorious ;
the secret effect of conscience in frustrating all
for which the crime was done—leaving genius
without hope, knowledge without fruit—deaden
ing bcnevdence into mechanism—tainting love
itself with terror and suspicion ; —such reflections
—leading, with subtler minds, to many more vast
and complicated theorems in the consideration of
our nature, social and individual—arise out of the
one great moral of man’s energy to purpose and
nothingness to will, which the story of Eugene
Aram (were it but adequately treated) could not
fail to convey.”
Reverses of Foktcxe. —The U. S. Marshal
who has just completed the census of Cincinnati,
mentions these incidents:
I met a man who had ruined himself by in
temperance, and was subsisting on charity, that I
knew in Pittsburgh in the year 1815, owner of a
fine property and store worth 50,000 dollars at
that time. The property alone, F have no doubt,
would since have brought 150,000 dollars.
I found in the person of a day laborer in one
of our foundries, a man who had once owned a
large iron establishment in Scotland on the Car
ron side. He had become involved with others,
and had become thereby insolvent. My sympa
thies were the more strongly excited here from
the simple dignity which forbore repining or com
plaint the family manifested in the case.
I found also the widow of a distinguished pro
fessor in an Eastern College, who wss at the time
eating her humble supper with her daughter, un
der such circumstances of penury, that their ve
ry table was formed of a board laid across an old
barrel.
I have found in the city two cases of disparity
of age between the oldest and youngest brother,
worthy of notice. In one instance the oldest
brother was 69 the youngest 25. In the other

one brother was 46 and the other 2,

And her prophets find honor in every land ;
While Erin, poor Erin, still set in the foam
Os old ocean, yet weeps ’ncath despotic command.
She’s the biith place of genius, but never the home;
She still rocks tire cradle, but builds not the dome;
Ever, like rhe green jewel, dispensing her rays.
Though a diadem slave for a conqueror’s gaze.
Yet proud and yet bright shall thy destiny be,
First flower of the earth, and first gem of the sea !

26 0 30c. Old is now entirely neglected and will
barely realize|2oc. gallon.
Flour. —During the last few days the transac
tions in the Flour market have been rather limited
owing in some measure to a disposition on the part
of holders to obtain an advance on our former quo
tations. In this they have partly succeeded, and
some small sales have been effected at $4 75 ; and
this is however no criterion of the actual state of
the market, as large lots can easily be purchased
at $4 50, which is now the current price for super
fine. A few sales to arrive have been made at
this rate. Some considerable oiders for the West
indies are here, but buyers defer executing them
in the expectation of a decline, which will no
doubt ensue, should the reports of a rise in the Ohio
which will be the means of bringing considera
ble supplies, prove to be coirect.
Bacon. —The demand is confined principally to
small lots for city consumption and p antation
use, and the market is quiet, with a downward ten
dency of prices. As is the case with pork, holders
are by no means desiious oi keeping their stock
and are very willing to sell at our quotations.
Hams, canvassed, 13 0 . uncanvassed are
scare, at 12^ —Sides, o 10c.—Shoulders,8 OS$,
Whiskey . — I his article has undergone a fur
ther decline since our last and sales from store are
now effected at 21c., but several holders refuse to
et go at these rates. On the Levee we notice a
sale of 40U barrels, at from 19 0 20c. gallon.
