H Another battle had taken place between the

IKutlej. The British acknowledge a loss of nine
ty-three officers and 2,500 men killed and woun-

The Markets. —Up to the 2d of March the Cot

Sir the week amounting to 50,000 bales, at an
advance upon the quotations by the America.
Subsequent to that date, the disastrous intelli
gence from India, and the advices by the Niaga

yg The Cholera. —This disease still exists at
New Orleans, where all classes are subject to its
Stack. There were 204 deaths by cholera in
tfiat ci'y during the week ending on the 17th
inst., 104 of whom were natives of Ireland.
■ Four deaths by this disease occurred during
Hie same time at Nashville, Tenn.
H Dr. Graves, one of the most eminent of the
JBnglish physicians, asserts that the cholera is
Hmtagious. lie strongly recommends tlie use of
of lead. He says:
■ “ A scruple of the acetate is combined with a
of opium, and divided into twelve pills,
»nd of these one is to be given every half-hour,
Intil the rice-water discharges from the stomach
•nd rectum begins to diminish. In all cases
where medicine promised any chance of relief
tins remedy was attended with the very best ef
p:cts. It gradually checked the discharges from
, Jhe bowels, and stopped the vomiting.—The
JBlcetate of lead will succeed when all other ns-
Jjringents fail. Dr. Thom, Surgeon of the BG'th
®vgiment, speaks highly of the acetate, combin
ed with morphia, in the treatment of'cholera.”

Spring Bonnets. —The New York correspon
dent of the Philadelphia American, states that
the new Parisian bonnet is a trifle smaller, and
less broadly arched over the forehead than those
of last winter. The materials are, of course, of
the lightest description short of positive diaphony
—which is held in reserve for a midsummer and
Newport. The outside embellishments consist
of a single bunch of small fresh spring flowers,
orasingle blush rose. Inside, a flowery laby
rinth clings gracefully and caressingly to the
downy cheek. The favorite colors of the new
bonnet are pink and white—indeed nothing else
is strictly allowable, and as nine-tenths of all
the well-dressed ladies on promenade wear green
mantillas, and half of them green dresses as well*
the effect of these pink and white bonnets, with
their delicious trimmings, is indescribably charm
ing. Everywhere the eye is refreshed with the
tender contrast of soft green and blushing pinki
save when, here and there, it reposed for a mo
ment on a snow white bonnet,curving gracefully
as a sea shell around a face beautiful as Aphro
dite.
Splitting Paper —The following account
from the London Globe shows that the operation
of splitting paper has been performed in a man
ner quite alarming to those whose wealth con.
sists in Banknotes:
“The governor and directors of the Bank of
England having been informed of the extraordin
ary ingenuity of Mr Baldwin, and that he was
able to split not only a newspaper but a bank
note, sent for hun in order to test his skill. That
liis task might be as difficult as possible, they
picked him out one of the £i notes, which are
printed on paper much thinner than notes of the
present day, and told him to split it if he could
Mr. Baldwin took the note, home with him, and
returned it the next day in the state he had prom
ised. The paper was not in the slightest degree
torn, and seemed as though it had but just come
from the manufactory, so little was its looks
affected by the operation- The directors re
munerated Mr. Baldwin for bis trouble, but could
notelict from him the means he employed. The
discovery is considered of much importance in
connection with the paper curency oftliecountry.
Palpitation of the Heart. —Professor Par
ker of the New York College of Physicians and
Surgeons at a recent clinical lecture,examined a
man who was troubled with palpitation of the
heart. No physical signs of organic disease of
the heart were detected, and hence the Professor
concluded that all the cardaric disturbance was
purely functional, depending on deragement of
the digestive organs,caused by the use of tobacco,
tea, and coffee, and confinement within doors.
The patient was recommended to throw away
tobacco, tea, and coffee, to adopt a plain and
who esonie diet, and to take regular exercise,
which course oftreatment would restore him to
his wonted good health.
Drunkenness. —The fact that drunkenness
perpetuates its influence from parents to their
children, lias long been observed by reflecting,
philsopliical minds. “ If," says Burton, in his
Anatomy of Melancholy, “ a drunken man has
a child, it will never likely have a good brain.”
“ It is remarkable,” says Dr. Darwin, “ that all
the diseases from drinking spirituous or fermen
ted liquors, are liable to become hereditary,
even to the third generation, gradually increas
ing, if the course be continued, till the family
becomes extinct." Even at so remote a period
us Plato's, he remarked the deteriorating influ
ence of parental indulgence upon tie offspring ;
and Plutarch says with impressive bluntness,
“ Ehri gignunt ebrios ,” —drunkards produce
drunkards.
Labor in the U- States. —M. De Tocque.
ville has recently published an article, entitled
“ All Honest Labor is Honorable,” in which he
remarks : —“ In the United States opinion is not
against, but in favor of the dignity oflabor. There
a rich man feels constrained by public opinon to
devote his leisure to some industrial or commer
cial buisiucss, or some public duties. He would
expect to fall into disrepute, if be passed his life
only in living. It is in order to escape this
obligation to work that so many rich Americans
come to Europe ; here they find fragments of
aristocratic society, among whom it is yet credi
table to do nothing, or have nothing to do."
Barren Soils. —This term is often used, and
is supposed by many to mean a soil incapable of
being rendered fertile. No such soil exists.
Barren then is only applicable when intended
to convey the idea of soil which in its present
state, will not repay the cultivator.
The unproductiveness may arise from many
causes but none of them are without a remedy.
If from a deficiency of some of the earths let
them be added ; if from an excess or deficiency
of either animal or vegetable matters, the fault is
easily corrected; if from stagnant water, either
underdrain or subsoil, as may be required ; if
sand, clay, or chalk be deficient, add them ; if
either be in excess, add the other two. Peaty
soils are generally reclaimed by draining alone ;
sometimes paring and burning are necessay to
induce decomposition of organic matter in ex
cess. The same result can be obtained in most
nr all cases by tho addition of the salt and lime
preparation which have been recommended for
composts. When soils are found to he incom
petent to produce any special crops required, the
farmer should have them analysed and then
compare their integrents with those of such soils
ns do produce the required crop readily. The
differences will point out the means which must
naturally be resorted to for the purpose of re
storing their fertility.
To Drive awav Rats. —The Boston Culti
vator states that Sir. Pierce, of Milton, pounded
up potash and strewed it around the rat holes,
and rubbed some on the sides of the boards and
under parts where they came through. The
next night heard squeaking among them, which
he supposed was from the caustic nature of the
potash that got among their hair nr their bare
feet. They disappeard, and he has not been
troubled with them since that timo, which was
nearly a year ago.
ITEMS!
DTP An exchange paper gives a motto'from
Hamlet for emigrants to California, as follows :
“ A pick-axe and a spade, a spade ;
Aye, and a winding-sheet."
Qj’Professor Wines recently advertised a gra
tuitous lecture at Newark, N. J., on the Theory
of Government. At the hour ofcommencement
the audience being very small, be administered
the following pungent rebuke : “ Plato, when
delivering lectures in Athens, sometimes had
Aristotle for his only hearer ; on which occa
sion he was accustomed to proceed with his lec
ture ns usual, remarking that when he had Aris
totle for a hearer, he had the better half of Athens.
On the same principle, I may congratulate my
self on my audience this evening.’’
ETlt has been happily said, in reference to
the certainty of death and of immortality :
“An angel's arm can’t keep us from the grave;
Legions of angels can't confine us there.”
O’Laughter is the vent of any sudden joy
that strikes upon the mind, which being too vol
atile and strong breaks out in the tremor of the
voice. The poets make use of this metaphor
when they describe nature in her richest dress,
for beauty is never so lovely as when adorned
with a smile, and conversation never sits easier
upon us, than when we now and then discharge
ourselves in a symphony of laughter, which may
not improperly be called the chorus of conver
sation.—Steele.
O’ Leisure and solitude are the best effects of
riches, because mother of thought. Both are
avoided by most rich rnen, who seek company
and business, which are signs of being weary of
themselves.— Sir W. Temple.
ty It is no inconsiderable part of wisdom, to
know how much of an evil ought to be tolerated ;
lest, by attempting a degree of purity impracti
cable in degenerate times and manners,instead of
cutting off the subsisting ill-practices, new cor.
ruptions might be produced for the concealment
and security of the old.— Burke.
iuP Be always in hostility against vices, and
perfect harmony with thyself. Now to compass
these thou art only to keep up an agreement be
tween thy words and thoughts, thy actions and
words, and thy desires and actions.
Hj’ Let thy thoughts and observations be com
mitted to writting every night, and so, in a short
time, thou wilt have a book of produce and ex
perience of thy own making. How many fine
thoughts hath the best of us forgotten.
O* If any shall willingly offer thee an injury,
let him know thou canst see it; but withal, let
him know thou scorn it too ; unless it be of such
a nature that the bearing of it is an offence and
mischief to another.
O’ The attachments of mere mirth, are but
the shadows of that true friendship of which the
sincere affections of the heart are the substance
Burton.
O’ What has pleased, and continues to please,
is likely to please again—hence are derived the
rules of art; and on this immovable foundation,
they must forever stand.— J. Reynolds.
O’ There is nothing more certain than that
every man would be a wit, if be could, and not
withstanding pedants of a pretended depth and
solidity, are apt to deny the writing of a polite
author as flash and froth, they ail of them show,
upon occasion, that they would spare no pains
to arrive at the character of those whom they
seem to despise.— Addison.
O’ Man is a creature very inconsistent with
himself: the greatest heroes are sometimes fear
ful, the sprightliest wits at some hours dull; and
the greatest politicians on some occasions whim
sical. But I shall not pretend to palliate or ex
cuse the matter, for I find by a calculation of my
own nativity, that I cannot bold out with any
toleiable wit, longer than two minutes after
twelve of the clock at night, between the 18th
and 19th of next month.— Tatlcr.
Against our peace we are our will :
Amidst our plenty something still
For horses, houses, pictures, planting,
To thee, to me, to him is wanting.
That cruel something unpossessed,
Corrodes and leavens all the rest,
That something if we could obtain,
Would soon create a future pain.— Prior.
O’ It is the same with understanding as with
eyes—to a certain size and make just so much
light as is necessary, and no more. Whatever
is beyoud brings darkness and confusion.—
Shaftesbury.
O’ A life of duty is the only cheerful life—
for all joy springs from the affections; and it is
the great law of nature, that without good deeds
all good affection dies, and the heart becomes ut
terly desolate. The external world, too, then
loses all its beauty; poetry fades away from
earth for what is poetry but the reflection of all
pure and sweet, all high and lofty thoughts?
But where duty is—
“ Flowers laugh beneath her in their beds,
And fragrance in her footing treads;
She doth preserve the stars from wrong,
And the eternal heavens, thro' her, are fresh
and strong."
ITT’ Keep your eye upward, then inward, and
then forward. By following these three simple
rules, your feet may be kept from falling, your
eyes from tears, and your souls from death.
These rules are the way to contentment, cheer
fulness, happiness, and usefulness. Diligently
and prayerfully observed, they will lead to ever
lasting peace. Try them.
Bj* The wind and the waves may beat against
a rock, planted in a troubled sea, but it remains
unmoved. Be you like that rock, young man.
\ ice may entice, and the song and the cup may
invite. Bew’are. Stand firmly at your post. Let
your principles shine forth unobscured. There
is glory in the thought that you have resisted
temptation and conquered. Your bright exam
ple will be to the world what the light-house is
to the mariner upon the sea-shore. It will guide
hundreds to the port of virtue and safety.
ITRcd was always the Nattonal color of the
Northmen, and continues still in Denmark and
England, the distinctive color of their military
dress. It was so of the headmen and people of
distinction in Norway in the eleventh century.
The Methodist Church Property Ques
tion.—The New York Commercial savs: We
learn that the Baltimore Annual Conference of
the Methodist Episcopal Church, the first in ro
tation, has unanimously passed a resolution au
thorizing and recommending that the property
question, in dispute between the Northern and
Southern branches of the Church, be submitted
to arbitration. Should the annual conferences
follow the example, audit seems to be generally
expected that they will, the constitutional diffi
culty will be removed. The South having made
preparations for commencing a suit to establish
their claim, will have incurred some expenses,
but probably this will be a matter of arrange
ment should an amicable adjustment of the other
difficulty be agreed upon.
Poisoned Tors.—lt has been elicited that
many children's toys, sold in London, are pre
pared and ornamented with substances highly
deleterious and prejudicial to the health. Tlie
white imitation rabbits, in particular, are dusted
over with a preparation of arsenic and lead.
Liable as children are to put toys to their mouths,
great care should, we think, he taken to prevent
any poisonous vehicle being employed in their
manufacture
Electro-Magnetism. —Professor Page, who
recently obtained from Congress an appropriation
of $20,000, to enable him to continue his experi
ments in testing, in Washington city, the appli
cability of the electro-magnetic power machin
ery, has constructed an engine, by which a cyl
inder printing press is driven as well as if steam
was the moving power. Some persons doubt
its practicability as a propelling power for boats
and cars.
in’The citizens of McMinnville, ( Tenn. )
have taken steps to connect that place by a
branch with the Chattanooga railroad. The es
timated cost of the work is SIBO,OOO, of which
$50,000 was subscribed up to the 7th instant,
and the list rapidly increasing.
Jj’T’hc Senate of the United States having
acted upon all the nominations submitted by the
President, and being informed by him that he
had no further communication to make, adjourn

Aerial Navigation. —The inventors of the
serial locomotive, Messsrs. Porter and and Rcb
john, announce that it will leave New York on
the 15th April, in its first flight to California.
The price of passage is fixed at SSO, including
board, and the trip is expected to be made in
calm weather it two days—against head winds
in five days.
Important Discovery. A discovery lias
been made by Messers. Tyer & Helm, of New
Jersey, for vulcanizing India rubber without
injury to the fabrics, by a substance chemically
uniting with rubber, and free from tlie injurious
effects arising from the use of lead. A fabric is
thus obtained insoluble not affected by cold, and
capable of withstanding heat as high as 350 de
grees.
O-TheFree Negro Bill has passed the Legisla
ture of Delaware. It empowers the magistrates
of the State to arrest all free negroes who have
no apparent occupation or means of living, and
hire them out for a term of service not exceeding
a year.
Singular Cause of Illness —Mr. Wm. B.
Scarfe, a respectable citizen of Pittsburg, while
dressing, a few days since, stuck the point of a
common pin into one of his fingers, since which
time he has been racked with excruciating pains.
The Gazette says that faint hopes are entertain
ed of his recovery.
Gold and Wisdom. —The following anthem
was sung lately in Trinity church, New York :
Surely thore is a place for the silver, and a
place for gold where they tind it.
But where shall wisdom be found .?—and
where is the place of understanding ?
Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither
is it found in the land oftlie living.
The depth saith, it is not in me ; and the sea
saith, it is nor with me.
It cannot be gotten for gold,neither shall silver
be weighed for the price thereof.
No mention shall bo made ofcoral,or of pearls :
for the price of wisdom is above rubies.
Whence, then, cometh wisdom ?—and where
is the place of understanding ?
Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living.
God understandeth the way thereof, and He
knoweth the place thereof.
And unto man He said, Behold, the fear of the
Lord, that is wisdom ; and to depart from evil
is understanding.
Fire. —The Presbyterian Church and commo
dious building adjacent, occupied as the “Quin
cy Male and Female Academy,” were entirely
destroyed by firs on tho 23d inst, which was
suppose to have been set to the church by a ne
