The daisy* smiles as with the break of day Hopes, and welcomes the approaching sun, The rose, with blushes on its youthful cheeks, Expands,—and silver'd over with morning dew, It scatters round its odorous perfume ; And shall not man rejoice at Spring s approach, When all around him smile with mirth and joy ? When vegetation in its language speaks, And brute creation joins the grateful theme Shall mas not praise ? Oh, let not man be dumb ! For him this universal earth was made— For him the forest rears its mighty oak, And ocean teems the treasures of rich lands ; For Arm the feathered songster full of joy A concert form, so musical and sweet;— And in subjection to His mighty will, The earth and all that it contains is laid ! For 7iim Hoes Spring appear “in pride of youth,” And Summer bcametli forth its golden rays; So Autumn comes with measured steps and slow, And hoary Winter last makes his approach : All these bring good to man : —let man rejoice !

April 2G, 1549. Last night, while the Legislative As setnbly were in session, engaged in dis cussing the Judiciary bill, a loud shout gave evidence that a riot was fomenting outside. In a momentstonos were thrown in through the windows, and many of the members rushed behind the Speaker’s chair. Volies of stones continued to be thrown in incessantly; the benches occu pied by members of the House, and the galleries appropriated to spectators, wore soon deserted, many of the gentlemen fly ing up stairs to the library, lit a short time the only member vi ible was Mr. Ste tensou, (a tory, from Prince Edward, of the minority, with McNah, Sherwood, &c.) who had placed himself on a bench be tween two windows, and eyed the havoc without flinching. For some time the stones were thrown only from the front ofthe building, but the windows in the rear were in a shoit time attacked, and few left unbroken in the whole range. A slight cessation of the disturbances then occurring, several mem bers ventured into the chamber form the Lobby [a large apartment richly adorned with pictures, between the Assembly and Chamber and the chamber of the Legis lative Council,] but the rioters recommen ced iheir attack, and the House was again speedly cleared—not a member left in it. The stones continued to he hurled in through the shattered windows with fear ful violence. At last the cry was raised in the direction of the Library, ‘They come !’ and those who had taken refuge there rush ed along the centre of the chamber, disap pearing behind the Speaker’s chair [ whence there is a passage leading to other par sos the building, or out of it into the street.] The Lobby at that end was crowded with members and clerks. About a dozen of persons armed with sticks now entreated the Assembly Chamber,one ofwhom walk ed up the steps and seated himself in the Speaker’s chair, while another looked round, muttering something about dissol ving Parliament. Some of these fellows commenced destroying all before them, and as the elegant gas lights near the ceil ing were beyond reach, sticks were thrown at the glass globes till they were broken. One fellow then visited the front row of the members’ benches, and struck down all their papers to the ground with his stick; another tore up the benches and threw them into the open space in the centre, jumping upon and breaking them into pei ces. * * * The Parliment House and other building are totally destroyed. From the .V. F. Commercial Adeertiser. OUTBREAK IN MONTREAL. Montreal, April 26. Affairs have reached a crisis soonor than was anticipated in this city. At a late hour yesterday afternoon the Governor General went down the Legis lative Council and sanctioned forty-eight bi Is, among which was sneaked that of tire rebellion losses. Upon this being made known to the mob ou'side, the Governor, on entering his car riage, was pelted with rotten eggs, dirt, &c., amidst a shower of which the Yice ltoyal Cortege drove off. An egg struck His Excellency in the face. In a few hours the excitement of the city became uncontrollable, and by seven o’clock printed notices of a mass meeting to be immediately held in the C'uimp dc Mars were issued. Persons were com missioned to alarm the people by driving through the streets in calaches with laige bills. The fire bells were also brought in'o execution. At 45 o’clock, a crowd of 4000 persons or more assembled, and after strong reso lutions had been passed, theory was raised “to the Parliament buildings /” The en raged multitude immediately rushed at a run through the streets, and by 9 o’clock the first stone was thrown through a win dow into the midst of the Legislative As sembly, at the lime in full session. A constant shower was kept up into the i windows till everything was smashed. In the meantime the members assetn ' bled in the lobby. A band of 2-5 of the leaders of the mob rushed into the Chambers, and one having placed himself in the Speaker’s chair, an nounced—“ Gentlemen, the French Par liament is dissolved.’’ They then bolted with the mace to pre soift it to Sir Allan McNab, at Donne gana’s Hotel. The cry of site was now raised, audit was soon found that the Parliament Hou ses were in flames in a hundred places. The fli c spread with great rapidity, and in half an hour the buildings were one sheet of flames. The mob had now augmented to 7000, and the burning buildings were surveyed with stoical indifference on the part of the spectators. At first the firemen refused to play, and only attempted to save the buildings close by. Everything has been lost—all the ar chives and records of the colonies for sev eral hundred years. Not SIOO worth of property has been saved. The military were called out and were received with loud cheers on the part of the mob. No fresh disturbances up the present hour have taken place. The population of all classes and creeds bad determined to stand by the acts of the past night. The windows of Mr. Hincks’s house were broken by a small section of the rio ters. Military guards were placed during the night over all the houses of the Ministers. No lives were lost. Sir Allen McNab, the Hon. W. W. Badgley* and G. B. Turner, Esq., one of (lie editors of the Montreal Courier, were cut out of the Parliament House with axes. A message sent to Monklands, the Gov ernor’s residence, about four miles from the city, and the Governor and family im mediately came into the town and are now at Donnegana’s. A council was held during the night. One hundred and forty-eight warrants for arrest were issued, among whom it is men tioned are the names of Messrs. Mont gomery, Mack Heward, and F. Smith. The St. Andrew’s Society met this mor ning to expel Lord Elgin as patron of the Society. No news yet from the upper Provinces. Telegraphed for the Charleston Courier. Saturday, April 2S. Advices from Montreal of Saturday, state that the excitement in that city con tinues, and much lawless violence has ta ken place. The consequence has been that the Government bad ordered out five hundred French constables, which gave a fresh impulse to the already inflamed re bels. Twenty English gentlemen encounter ed three constables in the streets, and u row ensued. Shots were fired, and two persons were wounded, but not mortally. The Government, for the preservation of the peace of the city, had disarmed the constables. Meet ngs bad been held, and petitions to the Queen got up for the recal of Loul Elgin, and to disavow the Rebellion In demnity Bill. The hotels and garrison were under arms, and cannon were plan ted in the streets, which had the effect of queling the out-break for the time being. Rumors of riots at Kingston, Toronto, and other places, were rife, but no au thenticated particulars are given. Non-intercourse Advocated in N. Carolina. —The lion. A. W. Venable, a member of Congress from North Carolina, recently addressed his cons ituents at Van ceyvillo, in which, according to the Milton Chronicle, he proclaimed the following doctrine : “ Mr. Venable, after discussing Aboli tionism, Disunion, &c. &c. * came out boldly for each State in the South to pass laws to prevent Northern men from col lecting debts in the South—to prohibit Northern ships from coining into Southern ports—and if a Northern ship at any time chanced to be caught in a Southern port, Mr. Venable says, confiscate the pro perty.’” This is going even further than the ad vocates of non-intercourse in this State are disposed to, for it will be remembered that tiie proposition made in Camden was on ly for a voluntary withdrawal of inter course, and the proposition submitted by Mr. Treadewell to the Committee ofSafe ty here, was for prohibiting the lawyers only from collecting such claims. Mr. Venable is a gentleman of weight and influence in North Carolina, and his advocacy of such extreme measures, a mounting in fact to a virtual dissolution of the Union, proves that South Carolina is by no means in advance of her Southern sisters in this matter as has been preten ded.—[Columbia (S. C.) Telegraph. “ Job Printing!

Yesterday, at 11 o’clock, the Sword vo ted by the Legislature of Virginia to Ma jor General Taylor, (now President of the L nited States,) in honor of ihe distinguish ed courage and conduct displayed by him in his victorious achievements in Mexico, was presented to him. at the Presidential Manson, by the Committee of distinguished citizens of Virginia whose names have been already mentioned. The Committee having been introduced to the President by Mr. Preston, Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Daniel, in behalf of the Committee, addressed the President in the following terms ; General : In the name of Virginia, we are deputed to present to you a Sword, On it is inscribed, in enduridg characters, her message of affectionate approbation. “Presented by Virginia to her distinguish ed son, Major General Zachary Taylor, for his gallantry and good conduct at the battles of Palo Alto, Resaca de la Palma, Monterey, and Buena Vista.” To the modest ear of manly worth we know that the language of personal eulogy, however sincere and well deserved, is al ways unpleasing. But there are occasions and this is one, when the full heart may speak out—when, anticipating the impar tial judgement of history, it may, without offending propriety, render to exalted ser vices performed by the living that trib ute which treasure cannot purchase nor power extort —the spontaneous homage of a free, enliglited, and greateful people. Palo Alto, Resca de la Palma, Monte rey, and Buena Vista! What mingled emotious of joy and melancholy are exci ted by these names ! Os grief for the “ Brave wlio sank to rest, By all their country’s wishes blest”— of exultation at the proud achievements of the living on those glorious fields. Sir, you cannot know, how, at the first threatened shock of arms on the Rio Grande when, to the general surprise, and without a sign of warning, that gallant little band under your command, poorly appointed, few in numbers—many of whom had never met an enemy-was seen opposed to an overwhelming face, of triple its own numbers, the very flower of the Mexican army : when, to all, great loss seemed in vitable, to many its entire destruction not improbable : when,in pause of excited ex pectation, the very heart of the nation s'.ood still. “ And the bravest held his breath for a time von cannot know, I say, what an electric thrill of exultation shot through that heart when the news came to us that you had triumphed ; that victory had impressed upon your standard that prestige which could never afterwards desert it. At Monterey ! What fresh emotions of pride and satisfaction swelled up in that heart when the world beheld with admir ing eyes, not alone the valor of the soldier —the wisdom of nature and well consid ered counsels—but that brighter exhibi tion of grateness which spared woman, in her weakness and childhood in us help lessess, and could mercifully temper the splendors of victory with a still more glo rious humanity. Buena Vista ! It is afield that will live in story wi h the Pass of Thermopylae. \\ here else was vic'ory ever achieved against such fearful odds ! And when we consider the circumstances under which you courted the conflict—the intrepid boldness of a postion assumed against the uninstructed counsels of superiors, the wisdom of which was vindicated by com plete success; when we regard the conse quences. personal to the officer—political and military—which would have flowed from disaster to our arms; or, looking to the Mexican side, think of the momentous issue to the commander,struggling for ex istence at home, and setting all upon a cast, perhaps diere are few events in our annals of deeper interest and importance to the snldier or statesman who would study well the history of his country. Sir, it was for the sterling qualities of head and heart displayed on these occa sions of uncommon trial that the nation has learned to look to you as one in whose hand its destinies will be safe; who will again illustrate in its history that the suc cessful warrior may yet be the wise and moderate and prudent statesmen ; and exemplify again that truth, so full of mor al beauty, that “ Peace hath her victories, No less renowned than war.” May your Administration, sir, redound to the honor and prosperity of our belov ed country ; and, that well over, in retire ment may the evening of a well spent life be as serene and happy as i;s noon is bright and glorious! It remains to deliver to you this, the bright gift of Virginia, our common moth er ; a cherished possession to yourself— an heirloom of fame to be transmitted to those who will come after you. Well won, we know it will be worthily worn in the spirit of that sentiment with which the Father of his country bequeathed the sword which achieved its liberties—never to be drawn but in that country’s defence, and never sheathed until that object he obtained. Gen. Taylor replied to this address as follows : Gentlemen :— 1 recieve, with emotions of profound respect and gratitude, the sword voted by the Legislature of the State of Virginia, which you have been deputed to present in her name. It need hardly he said that this token of approbation and of confidence bears with it unusual interest and value. It is from the State of my extraction and nativity—a State distinguished throughout the Ameri can annals for the abilities, the valor, and the patriotism of her children, and which yields to none in devotion to the cause of constitutional liberty. This offering of her representrtives will be cherished with jealous care, and handed down as a preci ous inheritance to my children. You allude to the services which have had the good fortune to elict the approval of my countrymen. The recent campaigns in Mexico, so far as military combinations and the actions of commanders are con cerned. have now become matters of his tory ; but no history can fitly record the sufferings, the privations, and courage and the constancy of the common soldier. To the steadiness and discipline of the rank and file, ably led as they were by the pla toon and regimental officers, our success must be mainly ascribed. Without such officers and such men, no inspiration, no good fortune, could have averted disgrace from our arms. I beg through you to com’ey to the able and distinguished Governor of Virginia, to the Legislature, and to the people of the State over which he worthily presides, my most sincere and heartfelt acknowledg ments for ihe high honor I have this day recieved, and allow me to present to you, gen lemen, my thanks for the very hand some manner in which you have discharg ed the trust confided lo you.

Sharp Repartee.— “ Why is it,” said Mr. TANARUS., a distinguished lawyer of a city of New England, to his friend, Mr. H., a clergyman of high reputation in the same place ; “ why is it, that you ministers, who are professedly the light of the world, are always quarrelling with each other; while we lawyers, wicked as we are represented to be, are remarkable for our courtesy, and seldom disagree among ourselves I” Is it possible that so fine and classical a scholar as yourself, Mr. TANARUS., should be under the necessity of asking that ques tion ? Hear what an answer Milton gives you: “ Devil, with devil damned, Firm concord holds! Men only, disagree.” Howto be Happy. —Said a venerable farmer, some eighty years of age, to a re lative who lately visited him, “ I have li ved on this farm for more than half a cen tury. 1 have no desire to change my resi dence as long as I live on earth. 1 have no wish to be any richer than I now am. 1 have worshipped the God of my fathers with the same people for more than forty years During that period I have rarely been absent from the sanctuary on the Sabbath, and never have lost but one com munion season. I have never been con fined to my bed by sicknessfor a single day. The blessings of God have been richly spread around me, and I have made up my mind long ago, that if I wished to he any happier, I must hare more religiov," —[ A. Y. Observer. NEWSPAPER PATRONAGE. The following article which we copy from the Cincinnati Gazette, contains more ti uth than poetry. The only way for news paper publishers to rid themselves of such customers, is to do business exclusively on the cash principle, or to keep a Black List anti publish defaulters: “ This thing called newspaper patron age is a curious thing. It is composed of as many colors as a rainbow, and is as changeable as a chamelion. “ One man subscribes for a newspaper and pays for it in advance, with the proud satisfaction that it is his own. He hands in an advertisement, asks the price and pays for it.—This is newspaper patron age. “ Another man says, please put my name on your list of subscribers ; and goes off without as much as having said pay once. He asks you to advertise, but he says nothing about pay for it. Time passess, your patience is exhausted and you dun him. He flies in a passion, perhaps pays, perhaps not. “ Another man has been a subscriber a long time. He becomes tired of you, and wants change. Thinks be wants an Eas tern paper. Tells the post-master to dis continue, and one of his papers is return ed to you, marked ‘ refused.’ Paying up f r it is among the last of his thoughts, be sides, he wants his money to send to an Eastern pnblisher. “ After a time you look over his account, and see a bill of ‘ balance due.’ But does be pay it cheerfully and freely ? We leave him to answer. This too, is news paper patronage. “Another man lives near you—never took your paper—it is too small—don’t like the editor, don’t like the politics—too whiggish, or too something else—yet goes regularly to his neighbors and reads his by a good fire—finds fault with its con tents, disputes its positions, and quarrels with its type. Occasionally sees an arti cle lie likes—saves half a dime and begs a number. This, too, is newspaper pat ronage. “ Another sports a fine horse, or per haps a pair of them—is always seen with whip in hand and spur on foot—single man—no use for him to take a newspaper —knows enough. Finally, he concludes to get married —does so—sends a notice of the fact with a ‘please publish and send me half dozen copies.’ This done, does he ever pay for notice or papers! No, but surely you don’t charge for such things 1 This too, is newspaper patron age. “ Another man (bless you, it does us good to see such a man) comes and says, the year for which I have paid is about to expire, and I want to pay for another. He does so, and retires. Reader, is not newspaper patronage a curious thing I And in that great day, when honest men get the reward due to their honesty, which say you of those enu merated above will obtain that reward ] Now it will be seen, that while certain kinds of patronage are the very life and esence of a newspaper, there are certain other kinds that will kill a paper stone dead.” Duty. —A life of duty is the only cheer ful life, for all joy springs from the 3ffec tions ; and it is the great law of nature that without gooddeedsall good affection dies, and the heart becomes utterly desolate. The external world, too, then loses all its beauty ; poeny fades away from earth, for what is poetry but the recollection of all pure and sweet, all high and lofty thoughts 1 But were duty is— *• Flowers iaugii 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. The Foreign News. —The Charleston Mer cury says : ‘-In the quotations for Fair Upland Colton we perceive that it is placed in the Balti" more papers at 4§, agreeing in this with our des patch, which we took the liberty of altering to 4§, under the impression that it was a mistake, and to make it conform to the alleged decline of J a ;J. Upon comparing all the accounts, we are induced to believe that the decline was only on qualities below Fair, and on Fair Orleans. The Sun has the following comparative statement of the quotations by the Europa and Cambria : April 7 April 14. Fair Upland, 4|jd. Fair Upland, 4tjd. Fair Mobile, ■ 4§d. Fair Mobile, 4jjd. Fair New Orleans, 4Jd. Fair New Orleans 4|d. Sales, 26,000. Sales, 22,000. If these quotations should be verified by the full accounts, they show a firmness in the Cot ton market under the pressure of the heavy re ceipts at Liverpool, the breaking out of hostili ties in the North of Europe, the ad vance in Bread stuffs, and the panic which generally affects busi ness men under such circumstances, and which is almost most active at the commencement! which could hardly have been anticipated. It will also be perceived by our telegraph despatch that at Havre, Cotton had also advanced with a brisk demand. Holding its own, as it has done, under these untoward circumstances, it would be hazarding but little to predict an advance, when the intelligence reaches Europe of the wide-spreading blight with which the recent frost has devastated the entire Cotton growing region of this country, and which renders it highly improbable that an average crop will be made the ensuing season. It should also be borne in mind,that at the last advances, notwith standing the heavy receipts at Liverpool, the stock had accumulated very slightly, and that there was on hand but little more than equal three months’ consumption, which would go but a short wav in suppl vjng the deficiency of a short crop MACON, G A .
