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 the New Crleans Picayune. From Texas. The steam packet ship Savannah, Capt.

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.

From the New Orleans Bulletin. 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.

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.

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.
