Wo perceive frequent notices in the Northern papers, of severe weather dur ing the last month, particularly in the early pvt elf it, in all the States north of os, from Georgia to Maine. In our more favored region however, we have been j happily exempt fronythese inclemencies ; j aod with the exception of a few short j Spoils, which gendered fires' agreeable, but which were unattended by frost; we have enjoyed our usual share of spring Weather, from iTte middle of February to the present period. The Spring how ever, has been more than commonly cool and rainy, while the winter was remarka bly open and mild. Though wo had sev eral blaCk'frosTs, the Plantain, Banana, and Lime, and other tender plants, rqg main uninjured, while the Olive, and thtr *• unfading Orange,” flourish through all seasons, as in their native soil. The Plantain and Lime w-ili bear fruit this year, notwithstanding the fr ezingwea:h* er which we had in January and the lat ter part of December. It is indeed a pe* culiarity of our climate, that certainly presents a curious fact in Meteorology, that we have occasionally, mild black frosts, in a temperature attended by ice, which yet produces none of its usual ef fects upon vegetation, as is exemplified by the singular facts above stated. While the climate is characterized by this pre vailing mildness, its geoeral salubrity is no less remarkable; and is illustrated by facts deserving the attention of Invalids, as well as our neighbors, of the lower parts of Georgia and South-Carolina,who are compelled to resort during the sum mer months, to the North, or to interior situations and Pine-land settlements— whore, though they may escape sickness, they are put to much extra expenso, and are exposedjo the same oppressive tem perature that prevails in the unhealthy locations from which they are thus com. pelled to retreat. While St. Augustine -presents equal advantages in point of health, with any of the situations to which they now periodically resort ; the ameni ty of its climate, its refreshing sea-breez es, and shady orange groves, would ren der it a far more agreeable summer resi dence, titan any other place within their reach. The lowness of Rents here also, and the general cheapness of living give it a preference over those more fashiona ble resorts, where the Soiflhcrn Planter now spends so much both of his money and time, when he might economize the "one, and pass the other more agreeably among his Florida neighbors.' The ex traordinary degree of health enjoyed by the inhabitants* and particularly children .in the place, is certainty a circnmsrance Weil calculated to engage the attention of Parents, who would here find a security ftit their offspring, and enjoy a compara tive exemption from those anxieties and bereavmeuts which in less favored cli> mates, to often render these interest ing objects, a source of unhappiness rather than a biessiog.—An eminent physician of South-Carolina wbo lesided and practised for more than three years in this place, has stated to the writer of these remarks, that he met with but three cases of Croup in that time, and none of the putrid sore throat that car ry off so many children in other parts of our country ; and expressed his surprise at the uniform degree of health enjoyed by the junior part of the population, who form so large an over.-propoi.Uoo of the inhabitants of our city. Hence there is no other place in the South so eligible for a seat of learning, as our Southern youth would here preserve 'hat peculiar habit and constitution which affords a pro tection against the diseases of warm lati tude# ; a security they lose by being pla ced at our northern colleges, from whence they often return only to fail fic tion to their naliye climates. The want of those facilities for travelling which exist io other paits of cur country* has alone, wo believe, prevented opr Terri tory from being resorted to in summer, as it has hitherto been in winter ; and we rejoice that this obstacle is now about to bo removed by the establishment of a steamboat to ran between this and Charleston, and which is expected to commmenco her trips by nest Novem ber.—Through the exertions our able Delegate, Col White, laFfo ap propriations have been made, during the late session of Congress, for the im provement and embellishment of the city, which will soon exhibit, wo trust, an improved aspect, and unite the beauty that belongs to health, to its other advan tages. ' Most navigators have made mention of the extraordinary size of the women in the Sandwich Islands ; but the remark is by uo means of universal application, and it should be limited to the family of the Evis , including males and females. As it re spects the Utter* their volume of body does not arise, as may bo generally con ceived, from mere fist as it is the case in Peru, and particularly in the province of Atequipa, or amongst us -Europeans, but from the enormous size of their bones.— With a portly's ature, varying from 6feet two to six feet five inches, they are gifted wit h a rotundity of’flesh of corresponding proportions. In spite of their copper colored complexions and super-masculine make, 1 they pdfsess* in many instances, very considerable persooa! charms; alas ! that their hands and feet should be as large again as the largest I ever met with in Europe. It is. not a little amusing to see (hem on horseback cantering over the ground ; they sit a stride like men, and wear neither stocking or other coverings, but scanty trowsers made of mulber y strips interwoven. When afflicted with corpulency, they grow to such a stupen cous size, as to sink under the load ; and in this s’.itp, have no alternative but to drag out existence at‘full length.’ This was particularly observable io ilio case of ihe Governor’s lady who was, in this Re spect a perfect monster.— -Athenanm. From the Carolina Watchman. JOHN QUINCY ADAMS. We once disliked Mr Adam 9 very much as a politician, but when he was beaten by the present incumbent, we were much disposed tn venerate him as we had done his predecessors after they bed quit their office and retired to tho shades of private life. These and their memories, the country had beou disposed to hail as things that had been purified by the ordeal of party rage, and thereafter was to be held sacred from use except on tho most solemn occasions. When Mr Adams broke through this sanctified observance, by stepping|in]tnediately from his high offi ce into tho polluted current of politics, IWo were aggrieved at tho^ciicumstanco, Hiut when we thought we perceived in him a disposition to erect-himselfas a barrier beteen the angry waves of party on the agitation of the Tariff in 1832, we were cheered at the prospect; we were willing to regard the emergency ns one of those "fin which only an ExPresident should ex pose If s name aod character to nse: And had Mr. Adams borne himself throughout as the opening of his new career of poli tics seemed to promise, the oation would have pardoned the condescension. They had already,begun to hail him as a-veteran Staiesmaajabfrvo thestrifo of faction, ex tending the influence of a nationalized patriotism over the whole country ", but the session in which he mado this fair beginning, was not over be ore he chose to dash these hopes with disappointment He joined in with the unrelenting tariff majority to vote down the |priuciples of co’iipsomise, which he had himself pro posed, A which had for a moment cheer ed the hearts of the Southern people as with a glmpse of sunshine. Since that, to the preseniftitne, his course has marked him for a little minded, narrow-hearted contracted partisan—venting his unavail ing spleen upon his former adversaries, long after his party had dropped him and they fain would forget him if he was npt constantly thrusting his infirmities on-the public gaze. -' We have been induced to these remarks from becoming satisfied that Mr Adams, unread poem Uermot McMorragb, was designed as a satire on General Jackson; when t ome of the obscure passage of that monument of dullness are cauvassed, we must be excused for believing the charge coming ns it does from Mr A’s friends; though ail must confess that it is a "dim distant” allusion. Ho should write Horse under his picture when' be attemps to print again. We likewise advert to Mr. Adams Re port on the subject of Manufactures,which we think every friend of his in the world must regret. Under the skreon of a Con gressional Report; he throws out a tirade of vast longitude, the main object of which, is to Vent his spite agaiust the man whom the people had preferred to him as President, and to prevent him from taking credit for measures which he cannot help approving. We pass by without particular notice, the gross and frivolous personalities in Mr Adams* Bank Repori, because we highly approve es :he general scope aud tenor of that production, and because we wish not to uo or say any thing that might affect the cause in behalf of which he is writing. We care not either to notice minutely his behaviour in the House of Representatives, when he childishly and obstinately refused either to vote on a question after the House had refused to excuse him, or leave his seat as he might have done without inconvenience or cen* sure. . \ But the perverse a “<l and rancorous temper of Mr. A. is so manifest in an article lately published in the Intelligen cer, addressed to Mr. Livingston, that we ask the indulgence of onr readers in 9 remark or We premisb that we* are not of the Masonic order, and there fore, what we sav will be at least, thought candid. We regard the party in politics based upon opposition to this Society, as the most perfectly devoid of element of any that we over hoard or read ©C We have not been wilTiog to loin in the bad opinion agaiost this Institution, because of the madjexcesses of some of its mem bers in unenligbteoed parts of the coun try, or of the perversions of its ordin ances. We have seen nothing practical ly of its bad effects in the community, where we have witnessed its existence ; and judging from the life aud conversa tion of those belonging to lodges, with; whom we have btreu acqu oted, we are far from surmising any thing io the na-s ture of Masouary unfriendly to virtue or morality. That they have done muclv good wo are ready to believe, bat the very i genius of their Institution forbids them frotg blazoning forth their charities and deeds of social virtue; indeed, we may say, that these virtues when unmixed, are alwavs enosteniatious. These areaof&t ences which we think every fair mind should draw; but granting that all that has been charged is true—-how opposition to it’should become the-Nucleus to a political piy-ty, seems to us' most extraordinary; such a fact seems more properly referable to the days of Philip and Mary of Eng land, when heretics were burnt for opin ion’s sake; but for one who had been edu cated a Gentlemtfn and a Christian, who hadgone through the gradation of high offices even to the Presidency, in the most informed Nation, in the most pol ished era of the world’s History, should join in with this party, and force an- oc casion to stigmatise and denounce an or der of men scattered over the world,flt of whose principles he could know nothing, but from one who admits he is perjured in the verv disclosure, is most sfrange. Mr Livingston in 1830, on the occasion of his being installed High Priest of the Royal Arch Chapter of Masons in the U. States, delivered an addross, in which we can perceive nothing remarkable ei ther way—Three year* afterwards Mr. A. takes up this address, and in commen ting on it, takes caro to lavish abuse on the Masons in the most acrimonious terms. He indulges in childish taunts—coarse personal reflections and very hobbling efforts at ridicule; the chief force of which consists in repeating about one dozen times in the space of two columns, Mr. Living ston’s Masonic, tide of General, Grand High Priest of the General Royal Arch, Chapter of the United States.—The first reflection of any dispassionate reader of (his letter is, that Mr. Adams is verging onhissoccnd childhood. It is a most strange and unbecoming affair throughout, and which wo are sure Mr. Livingston will Dot think himself at all required to notico’ Wo hope those remarks will not be understood as reforing in any degree to political or party manors. Mr. Adams has no party, but of late, he has borne himself with so much cherlishness and 11- liberality in every thing he has done, that we deem him the fair subject of newspa per remark' From the Philadelphia Sentinel. Mr. COOPER'-It is to be hope ,1% at the public will welcome and ratifiy the laudable generosity of the Managers of the Wdlout street Theatre in their plan for solacing Mr. Cooper’s distress by an exemplary benefit. We learn that bis own illncft throughout a large part oi the last twelve months, snperadded to the illness aod deatu of his excellent wife, have thrown the usual means of sub sistence; and that a large, iutoi-esiing, and helpless family (six daughters) accustom ed to plenty, ate in piesent need. ’ For five and thirty years, if we are not misin formed, this veteran tragedian has figured upon the topmost round of the American stage; till, at last, that decline which spaies none, has overtaken him, end his athletic and handsome person is no longer what it was once. To such an old ser vant the community will not be unkind. He has credentials in private life, besides professional distinction, to recommend him; singleness and manliness of charac ter, scrupulous integrity, strong sense oi honor, and a constant, sincere attachment to the republican principles of this his ad opted country. If he had been mose pru dent and saving, he might now be above want. But economy is hardly a histrionic virtue: and circumstanced as an eminent actor is, separated from the greater part of-the better part of society, some allow ance may be justly made for extravagance. A free and expensive bospstality is per haps the best channel through which to keep open an equal intercourse with those whose acquaintance is desirable, as their ,countenance is all important. At his pleas ant Villa on the Delaware, Mr. Cooper with his charming wife, for many years contributed largely to the pleasures of the numerous visiters of Bristol; and it is only one more of the continually recurring mo ments qf vicissitude and mortality which surround Us all, that a numerous, innocent and bereaved family are become the only and the mournful inhabitants of a mansion long given to joy and entertainmont. The proposed benefit will be a relief to them which they probably as little imagined till very lately they ever should want, as it will be a proof of the sympathetic feadi ness of the play-going portion of this city to bestow, in the least oppressive way, their never failing beiteficence. [lf we were to hdd to -the above, it would bo to recommend to Mr. Coo*«b to pass through the various cities of the country from Portland to New-Orleans, take "a farewell benefit” at each place and then retire from the stage forever.— fn this way, through the generous spirit of his countrymen, he would acquire a fund sufficient, it is to be hoped, to make him comfortable for the remainder of his life. This is a course, we believe, usual ly adopted by verteran actors id Europe, Ed. Balt. Patriot .] From the North American Review. * THE PROGRESS OF SOCIETY The view we have taken of revolutions, as connected with our own, furnishes mat ter of useful, as well as pleasing reflec tion. Jft o can invite the present genera tion, whose countenances are lit up by the fair light of freedom, to stand upon the eminence which Providence has assigned them, and to look back upou the history of their race. They will find in all other men fellow-laborers and brethren, part ners in a common smuggle, pressing for ward to a -common end. They will learn from the scene, to repress the vain thought, which would impure to their own Revolu tion alow*, the liberty they enjoy. They will learn their indebtedness to past gen-' erattons* The fathers of our Resolution ■were indeed, noble meo,-generous, high souied men* Never forgotten, ever hon ored be iheir names. Bui they stand not alone, the sole pillars of freedom. They were but the associatceof the great lead ers of other revolutions. They took up the work,'where these had left it, and to these, therefore, with them, is tho honor due. And they, too, who are apprehensive, that man's cause may yet be lost, —that he may yet fall from the height, which ho has reached,—may gather ©herring confidence from the scene which has been displayed. Tney will discover that free dom is not the mere bubble of a moment, blown up to deceive, and then to burst and disappear. They will learn, that ii is the grand result of all things,—that as it has been striving for ages, it shall en dure for ages, permanent and everlasting. We would bid those, then, who are trem bling for the fate of liberty, to look upon the history race and be encourag ed. Shall W glorious sun. which has so long been tfurmouming the clouds that ob cured his rising, and which has Just bro-. ken forth in brilliancy, above thorn,-shell it go down again, > hence it rose,--—its course unfinished, —the world in darkness? Shall it not rather ride upward to its mer idian, in a bright and unclouded path, il lumine rho universe, and if it descend at all, sink placidly in tho west, only when time shall cease? We believe it will be thus. It is the voice of history. We have*left ourselves no room to speak of the revolutions, that have suc ceeded our own; and we need none. They have been clearly the manifestations of the same principles, which vve have trac ed through history, too intimately connec ted with our own Revolution, to require extended comment. They tell the same stcry, which we have learned front their predecessors, that there is a power in man, which will struggle on till it # completes its work; a power, which, though sometime* rash and misguided, is yet strong, in the end, for good. They aro parts, therefore, of the same series we have been consider ing. In this view, they should be consid ered, In this view, their temporary evils can be overlooked. We can hail their piinciples, as the same for which past gen erations and even ourselves have labored, and therein can argue for them eventual success. We would, that these principles might triumph without convulsions, that reason might supersede the sword. But this may not be at present. Other revo lutions must be met and passed through. We can but pray that the leaders of them may be just, true, patriotic, and disinter ested, —not, however, because vTe believe that the result is in their hands* There is a higher power, which has watched o ver, aud will continue to watch offer that result. But the leaders may do much to shorten or prolong the struggle. We pray, therefore, that they may be patriots in deed, —and that the time may soon come, when in the history of mankind shall be read the perfect triumph of freedom, reli gion and right. mi. From'the Richmomi Enquirer, April 19. THE CAUSE OF IRELAND. Every generous American heart must sympathize with O'Connell and Bulwer in their exertions for staying that oppres sive bill, which the British ministers are urging on to put down even the right of petition among -the unfortunate Irishmen. God send that noble aod persecuted peo ple a happy deliverance !—and give them back their own parliament—subsisting in place of the present odious Union,, a Cunstituiiou which will confer upon them the benefits of the Federal system.—Mr. O’Connell, at the close ofhis late speech in the House of Commons, thus charac terises the abominable features wf the proposed bill; “If they wished the connection of this country with Ireland to be beneficial to the latter, let them conciliate the people. They ha.l granted emancipation be know, but not until 29 years after it was promi sed, and 29 years after an Irish parlia ment must necessarily have granted it.— And after all the suffering and the wrongs of the Irish people, that house was now kind enough to give them that bill, by which tho trial by jury was abolished, courts-martial for the ordinary legal tri bunals, individual liberty annihilated, the Habeas Corpus Act suspended, and accu sed persons put on the necessity of pro ving their innocence. That was the act they gave the Irish people, and at the same time talked of putting down the-agi tation of the repeal of the Union. That never could be put down until justice was done to Ireland. The present genera tion might be destroyed; tbeir Robespi errean measures might sweep away the existing population ; but the indignant soul of Ireland they eould not annihilate.— There was a time when a ray of hope dawned upon Ireland. It was when the present reformed Parliament first assem bled. The Irish people knew that every man in that house haJ now his constitu ents, and was influenced by the public feeling. They hoped that their grievan ces would be redressed, and he still trus *ed that hope would not prove delusive. (Cheers.) Which is right?— Goverofr Hay no in his address to Ex-Governor Hnroiliton, on the occasion of presenting the colours to the volunteers of Charleston, speaks of tho “promptitude, unanimity and zeal, which, if equalled, has sorely never been surpassed (with which) the people of South Carolina at the first trumpet call, flew to her standard and voluntarily devoted their lives and fortunes to her defence.”—Ex- Governor Hamilton in reply to Governor Hayoe compliments his “Excellency,” “who in tho dark hour of a starless night, when South Carolina seemed tube deser ted by the whole world, rent in twain by dissensions among her very children , whose only rivalry ought to have been who could have loved and served her best , stood at your post of duty, cool, collected and undismayed.” Gov. H. commends the unanimity of S. Carolina.—Ex-Gov. H.laments her dissentions.XVhich 4s right ? FIRE IN CUMBERLAND. A letter from Mr. S.'Chaftes, editor of the Cumberland Civilian, received at the Office of the Baltimore Patriot, furnishes the following particulars of the late fire in this once flourishing town. It is dated April 15:—“I hasten to inform you of the calamitous fire, which occurred to onr town yesterday. The fire broke out a bout 10 o’clock, P. M. and before many minutes, not less than 15 or 20 houses were iff a blaze. It commenced in a cabinet maker’s shop in the north part of tho centre of the town, and, the wind be ing high, it soon communicated to other buildings, and was not checked in its rav- ages until about seventy-five houses,com prising the very heart of our town, were in complete ruins, and more than that number of families are now without homes, most of them not saving even more than the cldthiug upon their backs. 1 have not time to give you a list even of the principal sufferers. Our loss is great —but one store remains in the town, (Bruce & Beall's) aud their loss is con siderable; (be three principal Hotels are burnt, and both printing offices. Most of the houses burnt were biick and 2 story log buildings.” Extract of another letter to a gentleman in Baltimore, dated Cumberland, April 15, 1833. “ I arrived here jnst in time to wit ness one of the most awful conflagra tions, and perhaps the most destructive, that has ever befallen any town in our country. There are at least 140 houses burnt to the ground. Every tavern and store is consumed—many did not even save their wearing apparel. I hope the bonevojence of Baltimore will do muGb for us ; I think if tha matter improperly re presented to them, they will do some thing for nur distressed inhabitants. The loss is estimated at 271,000 dollars. Extract of -a letter from General L&fatettz to n gentleman of Philadelphia, dated 28ih Feb ruary, 1833: “ I thank you for your letters ; ihey are more and more necessary to mo.

It must not be believ ed tiiat the glory of each party consists in tho triumph of its opinions. It is quite the contrary. The friends of America will rejoice when they see both parties animated by a spirit of conciliation. is in this point of view that the patriots of Europe consider this business. They would wish to contrast the internal policy of the Unitod States with the violent mea sures, for instance, that the British Min istry have lately proposed in Parliament with regard to Ireland. They would wish to be able to say—" See the differ ence between the political system of the Uuited States and that of the Europe an Governments, even of those who pretend to act on principles of liberal ism !” This view of the subject is of great importance, and ought to strike our citizens of all parties arfll of all opinions. It is right that there should be a diversity of sentiment, respecting Stale Rights on the one hand, and the powers of the Na tional Government on tho other—this is necessary for tho maintenance and pre servation of the Constitution. But the thing must not be carried too fer on either side. My anxiety, I may say my anguish , will not be at an end until I shall.know that all is amicably settled. The spirit of mutual concession that will produce such a result, will bo more honorable in the eyes of all tho friends of Liberty in Europe.”— Nat. Gazette.
