Tlie rale of iuterfcst may be considered
as composed of two elements—
1. The real price of money,
2. The premium of the risk that arises
from lending.
1. The real price of money is deter
mined by die profitable application that
can be made of it ; it consequently varies
with the state of the market ; being regu
lated, as all market prices aie, by the op
posing pi incifdes of demand and supply:
die demand being grounded upon the pro
fits of business, or speculation, the supply
upon the quantity, of disposable capital*
tin own into the market. Tho high rate
of this portion of interest is the best proof
of commercial and general prosperity,
since it arises from brisk tiade, extending
market;, and high profits.
2. T hc second element of interest is of
a different character. It is the premium
pail to the lender against the risk of delay
or loss. In loans to tiie government this
portion of interest may be said to disap
pear, and die rate to sink to its first por
tion, or the real value of money grounded

may bo considered correct.
“ This distinguished critic is a native
of Edinburgh, and the son of one of the
Deputy Clerks of Session in Scotland.—
lie was born on die 23d of Ociober, 1773
arid was educated partly at the University
of Glasgow, and partly at Oxford. After
completing his education, lie was called to
the Bar in 1795. In 1801, Mr, Jeffrey
maried Miss C. Wilson, daughter of the
Professor of Church History in the Uni
versity of St. Andrews; and aft ir her
death, married Miss Charlotte Wilkes, of
New-York, the niece of the celebrated
John Wilkes, 6c has had by her one child.
He was ns active member of the Deba

amount, according to the varying grades
of risk. This, then fore, has its natural
and fair value as well as the former, and is
as little a proper subject for arbitrary lim
itations.
The original grounds for the interfe
rence of government on this subject were
two, hotli founded upon error.
The first was a religious prejudice
grounded upon bigoted interpretation of
a municipal provision of the Jewish code,
which led the governments of Christen-

or usury (for the terms are not equivalent)
of money lent, as an unchristian practice,
and permissible, therefore, only to the
Jews. This prejudice lost its hold nndei
the influence of the Reformation, an ! in
i 546 interest was first permitted in Eu
rope.
The second i.s a prejudice equally un
founded, but ofmore scientific pretensions.
It arose from 'he fallacy of regarding mo
ney alone as wealth, and the interest of
monov as so much extorted from the ear- j and such
niu :s of ilie industrious. TIence, the bold- j presions,
ersof money were invidiously regarded as
men pursuing theirown interest to the det

Mr. Jeffrey, notwithstanding the power
of his mind, and his reputation as a writer
was a long time in getting into practice,
and it was not until within a few years
that he succeeded at the Bar of his native
country, in a manner commensurate with
liis learning and splendid talents. In
1802-3, he became the projector and
Editor of the Edinburgh Review which
has since been so widely circulated, and
so justly praised for the eloquence, learn-
ning,vivacity, and terseness of the articles
i‘ contained. He is considered, as a crini-

Uourt, as unrivalled, and though his pro
nunciation is verydefective being a mix
ture of Province English and undigni
fied Scotch, his elocution is so overpow
ering & rapid—-his illustrations so happy—
his masses of thought so successive, and
flashes of mind so brilliant and dazzling
•bat all who listen are delighted, and look
upon him as one of the most gifted of
speakers. There is such a playfulness in
nis wit, such richness Id his imagination,
choice and beauty in his ex-
and such depth and force
and energy in his reasoning, that no
one can hear him without admiration and
deli'dit. Mr. Jeffrey is said, however, to

people see what we are doing; let them
know that it is neither more nor less than

knew well his friend from Delaware (Mr.
McLine) was. willing that all his conduct
in regard to the Presidential question,
should be exhibited before the public, and
that it was principle alone, which had sug
gested his remarks ”

importance, said Mr. Buchanan, is the

My readers will bear in mind that the
above remarks were delivered on tho 2d
day of Feb. 18-25, only thirty four days
after Mr. Buchanan made liis communica
tion to Gen. Jackson, and when the whole
circumstance of the transaction were fresh
upon liis memory, and that it was upon
the subject too, of the Presidential elec
tice of liis officers, and they, even as his
comrades, felt as if deprived of a brother.
The soldiers retired—and, as I saw them
walk mournfully away, casting back many
a lingering look on the newly heaped up
! mound, I asked myself if such were the
j heroes who had carried the fame of the
American arms to the farthest bounds of
the earth—if men, who could not witness,
without the deepest emotion, the burial
of a comrade, could ever have rushed to
the charge. I knew that they had : and
even at a moment of this kind, which ge
nerally brings humility along with it, I
was proud of mv countrymen, I rejoiced
to see that those who could fight ardently,
could also grieve bitterly. But such have
always been the feelings and sentiments
of an American soldier.

when the countenance seems to be lighted
with the smiles of revelry. The most tri

the silent monitory voice that bids them
look beyond the short moments of time.
There are seasons when serious thoughts
come rushing home to the mind, and re
collections of the past tell us that the joys
of earth are delusive. Who can wander
amidst die silent mansions of the dead,

The following anecdote, illustrative of
tiie well known amenity of manners and
good natured politenessof our distinguish
ed countryman, Sir Walter Scott is cur
rent among our writers. An English gen
tleman and his lady lately arrived some
where irt the neighbourhood of Abbottsford
and being naturally anxious to behold its
ownor, sent a card to him, stating that thry
had come from a distant part of England,
solely on purposo to see the great ‘Lion
of the North’ and earnestly requested the: Extract of a letter from Puerto Cabdio, /:

and broke the other, on being called

none other than that of Morgan. Ti •
are persons, however, who entertainstror
doubts whether the body found is actuafi
that of Morgan—especially as it was found
so far from the spot where comrpon f ;trn [

Morgan was drowned in the neighborhood
of Fort Niagara. Our opinion'has hecu
that he was daowhed above the fid]/
“twenty-five, or thirty miles from fort Ni
agara, on the British side.” And the
place where the body under consideration
was discovered, is about forty miles this
side of the month of Niagara river.
Since writing the foregoing we hp.v
seen several letters from Rochester, whirii
slate briefly that ‘Morgan’s body, has beet
found.” And a gentleman lias called op-
on us who arrived from the West last eve-
ping. He states that the body found was
interred on the 12th instant, before suspi
cions were excited that it might he lint of
Morgan. It was afterwards disinterred,
Mrs. Morgan and oil ers sent for, as sta
ted above. The Committee from Rnrh-

place, went out to the examination. Mr-

As a critic, Mr. Jeffrey’s* merits are e-
qually prominent. He has struck out an
original mode of reviewing, which pleased
went to deprive his friend and candidate,
General Jackson, of an election, where he
would have compromised his honor by
averring that it'had “ no existence,” and
that he “ entertained no fear of corrup
tion ?” I would ask, would it not have
been more congenial with his duty to him
self, liis country, and his God, to have

ask, is it probable that a gentleman who is

the mice caught in traps, and was after
wards seen to catch them as they ventured
from their holes, till at length the whole
house was cleared of these vermin, except,
as is believed a single one. It has fre
quently been seen in pursuit of ibis solitary
mouse, and the little fugitive, which takes
refuge behind the ingle, has a part of its
fur singed off. From the service it ren
ders, the family kindly protect the rat,
and it runs about and gambols among them
on the floor without the least uneasiness.
It sometimes disappears for a week or ten
days, and it is supposed that, in these in
tervals, it visits the stackyards in its pro

Jews Harps.—A Mr. Eulentsein, a
professor of the Spanish Guitar, in Lon
don, has improved this simple instrument
in such a manner as to be able to produce
from it full and fine harmonies, and com
binations of tones, which have excited
much admiration. He has arrived at this
perfection by inventing a method » hereby
four barps can be used at the same time.
He connects them by a silk thread, and
places two on each side, where they are
held between the lips. The four tongues
are struck at the same time, or singly, and
the breath acts upon them so as to vary
and prolong the notes in a delightful man
ner. The music thus produced, has been
compared to that of the Eolian Hr)rp,and
to some tones of the finest musical snuff
boxes—while it sometimes swells forth
with the richest melody of a distant choir.

Weilcly Review.
What difference! ’tis like time to eterni

ceptions, as I do the puny ideas which
engender them ; and am generally so
struck with the great works of nature, that
for my own part, if I could help it, I ne

against the French sublime in this instance
of it, is this—that the grandeur is more in
the tcord; and less in the thing. No

OHIO.—We see in many of the Jack-
son papers in this state, articles headed
“ Ohio for Jackson the object of then;
is to encourage and reanimate the flagging
spiri.’s of the General’s friends at home.
It is folly, and worse ilian delusion to hope
for the vote of Ohio for Jackson. Thr
states elect by general ticket, and
the mass, the great body of the peonle are
in favor of the “ domestic system,” ami
the administration. They cannot “ Inok
look on blood and carnage with compo
sure.” There are eight counties on what
is called the Western Reserve,- and we
have no hesitation in saying that nine-
tenths of the people in these eight coun
ties, are for the administration. The
editor of the Courier, printed in Portage
county, and who is an intelligent member
of the assembly of that state in his last pa
per says, that “ On the Western Reserve
it is well known that no person unfriend!
to the present administration could possi
bly be elected to either branch of the le
gislature. Where there is the least pro
bability of success, the Jacksonians will
use their utmost exertions to elect mem
bers friendly to the election of General
Jackson to the Presidency with a view (as
some of the Jackson papers assert) of
having the General nominated by a ma
jority of ihe next legislature. Their ex
ertions to effect this object, must be alto
gether fruitless—for we are well assured
that at least two-thirds of the next legisla
ture of Ohio, will be in favor of the re-
election of Mr. Adam*. There are seven

of service have not yet expired, twelve
