evolution of the carbonic acid, which

wooden filtering frames.— The sulphate of lime
whilb is deposited is finally used as a mauure,
it Ming first washed with water, and the water

half the volume, when it is a second time

dry Utardli yields about 100 parts of sugar, which
is obtained by concentrating the syrup to 36 de

At the end of two days crystallized sugar is found
in the casks and some liquid syrup, which is
drawn oft'by the tap or faucett. In some facto

drawn oft’ into tinned copper vessels. This way

Home Correspondence.
It may be expected from us, that we reply to
the question propounded to us by Miss “Betsey
8.,” in our last, viz: if the “Old Maids'’ could
do anything to make the world believe them
happy? Our settled conviction is, that they
cannot. The world has been “born and brought
up” in their present belief, and it would take
more eloquence than that of Cicero, and more
reasoning than that of Locke, to influence their
n.inds to the contrary. For our own part, there
may be—we confess some doubt, however, up
on the subject—such a thing as a happy old maid,
and one contented with her lot. We do not,
for that reason, recommend a trial of the experi
ment to our female friends. But, in connec
tion, we have a letter front a young gentleman
in a somewhat dangerous condition, which will
he more entertaining than anything wc can
write. Our readers will perceive that he was
laboring under an occasional absence of mind,
for while addressing himself mainly to us, he
slips in a broken sentence, as if he were writing
to his “ladye-love” : indeed, every now and
then, we come to a line written in a fine hand
and with much care, while the remainder is
coarse and negligent. We would recommend
him, if he does not fancy our advice to be a bil
let doux from his sweetheart, to study “Vattel’s
Law of Nations,” to the exclusion of novels and
romances, for one month, and we assure him
that, at the end of that time, he will be in a
much better slate of mind, and be far more like
ly to gain his suit.
LETTER NO. 11.
From a Young Gentleman in Love.
Bachelor’s Solitude, June,’49.
Mr. Editor —Dear Sir —( Suscct Ada!) — I
I have take my pen sir, (my dear girl,) to inform
you that (I am still your constant iover, my ado
rable Ada !) I am at the present time laboring
under intense mental excitement. Perhaps you
know (I will send you a beautiful iced cake, as
soon as the boy returns) that I flatter myself
in being the object of the affection of the divi
nest piece of humanity in the world, (and just
so soon as Joe comes, I will put up the music
box for you) but last night, sir, at the concert,
she happened to catch Talley C s eyes, and (I
am going to the ball to-night) lie came immedi
ately over, and sat down by the side of us. He
(do you intend to go?) commenced talking with
her, and I couldn’t get a chance to slip in a sin
gle word without (will you accept of my compa
ny there ?) Talfty’s speaking up so fist that I
had to give up in despair. Now sir, I wouldn’t
offend him for the world, for (you haven’t pro
mised to go with Talley, have you?) he is my
best friend, and we have always lived like (go
ing, please let me know by sending round a
note) brothers; but really I am afraid that he
will (deprive me of the pleasure of your attend
ance) break into iny arrangements very consid
erably. lam not the man to be jealons of ano
ther, nor would I complain of (your talking to
Talley in the least) a rival's success, were I not
firmly convinced that if (you don’t go with me
to-night, my dear Ada) 1 should fail in gaining
the hand of my adorable, angelic enamorata, I
would (shoot myself in despair, I assure you)
be rendered perfectly miserable for the rest of
my life. Please (return an answer immediately)
give me what advice you can on the subject, and
he assured that I am your (constant lover)
Friend and patron,

Attempt to Assassinatc the Queen or
I^ngland. —Shortly after six o’clock, on the
e venidg of the 19th, her Majesty and Prince Al
bert, whilst returning in an open landau from
Hyde Park down Constitution Hill to Bucking,
ham Palace, a laboring man, wearing a white
flannel jacket, and bearing all the appearance
of a mechanic, fired a pistol at the Queen from
wiihin ihe railings of the Green Park, whilst
the carriage was passing the curve of the hill
close to the Triumphal Arch.
The Queen and the Prince did not appear ve
ry much alarmed, and the carriage, on the or
der of the Queen, proceeded to the palace.—
Both were uninjured.
The miscreant, who is an Irishman, named
John Hamilton, was immediately seized by one
of the Park keepers and by a soldier who jumped
over the rails.
The pistol is believed, was loaded with pow
der alone. He was immediately taken to King
street station. The greatest excitement pre
vailed in the metropolis. The man, \fho is

RELIGIOUS MEBIT YTIOSS—SO. VI.
VIEW or the promised land.
It is very gratifying to an carlhiy traveller, j
when he becomes weary and faint on the road,
to meet one but lately from his point of destina
tion. How eagerly does he enquire of the new
comer, concerning the situation, beauty, and
agrecableness of the country which lie had just
left. And how rejoiced is his heart, when he
gets a good word of news from his friends in that
distant land : to hear that they anxiously await
Ilia arrival; that all things arc in readiness for
his reception ; and if the friend should happen
to bring a message from those near and dear to
him, how attentively docs he listen to every
sentence as it falls from the lips of the speaker,
or pore over the contents of the cheering epistle
And when they separate, the traveller journeys
on, with his heart light and happy, and his bo
dy invigorated, and lie feels fully prepared to
overcome the difficulties and dangers of the tra
vel. But ere long, it may be, his heart begins
to fail him : the length of the journey, the wa*
ter courses to be forded, the mountains to be
passed, and the perils upon the way, fill him
with consternation and doubt—then he opens
the lotter from his friends ahead, and he reads
carefully every expression of pleasure at, or de
sire for, his approach. Again, lie is comforted,
and the mountains of danger dwindle down to
sandhills, the foaming rivers become but gentle
rivulets—all things make him once more cheer
ful and contented.
Just so is it with the Spiritual Traveller.—
Bowed down through the manifold temptations
of the world, and weary with the burden of du
ty, he begins to doubt—and doubt introduces
hitn to despair. Oh, how hard the Christian’s
l°f '■ —thus does he begin to murmur—l cannot
longer bear my crosses : the stopping-place is
100 far ahead ! Heaven is out of sight, so I
must tarry here, in this delightful grove of harm,
less pleasure, and throw off for a season the
heat and burden of the day ! Toil-worn pilgrim
on the road to glory ! is this your language ? arc
you just ready to turn aside—even for a moment
—from the straight and narrow path ? Do not
so ! Look ahead : yonder in the distance—take
out your Telescope of Faith, rub the dust from
the glass, and place it to your spiritual eye—far
away, riding in the chariot of love and mercy,
comes a messenger of good to you. See him, as
he catches a glimpse of your desponding counte
nance, how he quickens his pace, and stretches
out his arms to meet you! It is the blessed
Comforter, which our glorious Savior promised
to send us, with the balm of consolation in his
hand, and the Word of Strength and Power in
his company. That is a happy meetiug, poor
downcast Soul! There arc four of you ; look
around, you have not seen them all yet ; you
have a larger company than you imagine. On
your right, ready to lift up Ilis arm of power in
your defence, stands the great Being, the Maker
of the universe ; with one hand, lie holds the
earth, and the starry worlds of the upper firma
ment, and the other he presents to you—is it not
strong enough to uphold you? Just there, in
his meek and lowly countenance, you may read
the language of him who spake as never man
spake : lie came into the world, was murdered
by your fellow-creatures, in order to purchase
a reconciliation with his Father for you—is he
not willing to lend you aid ? Overshadowing
you, is the Spirit, ready to infuse his consoling
nature into your wouTMR-tl Soul—can he not give
you comfort? And ther« you are* dragging a
load of sin upon your back ! You are starving
in the very midst of a feast : dying for wani Cf
strength, when Omnipotence is within your
reach! Courage, weak fainting traveller ! put
forth the hand of Faith and touch the hem of Je
sus’garment, and he will show the Father his
bleeding hands and side, and the Triune God
will instantaneously strengthen and sustain you.
I read in the Bible—a letter written by God.
and directed to my Eoul—that the children of
Israel, as a judicial punishment for their mur
murings against the hand that brought them out
of bondage in Egypt, were suffered to wander
up and down in the wilderness forty years. Al
though the Lord had rained fire and hail upon
the land of Pharoab, for their sakes ; had smit
ten their masters with plagues; 'had slain the
first-born of the Egyptians to procure their liber
ty ; had brought them out from the midst of
their task-masters, guiding them by a pillar of
cloud by day, and a pillar of lire hy night ; had
severed the waves es the sen, and made them to
pass through on dry ground ; had destroyed their
enemies in the midst of the waters; had drawn
drink for them, when dry and thirsty, from the
rocks in the wilderness ; had rained manna for
bread, and quails for meat, in large supplies
from Heaven : notwithstanding, at the first ap
pearance of danger, the faithfess Israelites com
plained against their God, and accused Him of
injustice. And then the Almighty sentenced
that whole generation to die in the wilderness.
But Moses, when he was “old, and stricken in
years,”—he having been denied the privilege of
entering the promise-land, as a punishment for
his presumptuous sin—was led up by the Spirit
to the top of Mount Pisgah, and there the Lord
showed him the land ofCan.-mn, the land flow
ing with milk and honey, which was promised
to all the seed of Abraham.
And so, bceausc of their manifold sins and
ti ansgressions, the people of God are now wan
dering about in the wilderness of sin. But here
and there a solitary pilgrim reaches the top of the
spiritual mountain—and how does his heart leap
for joy, when, by faith, his trusting eye scans
the illimitable fields ofglory ! The gentle bree
zes, fresh from the flowery jflains of his eternal
home, kiss his cheeks, and f*n his sultry brow
witli their cool refreshing breath. Fain would
his soul forever dwell on that celestial height,
where his mind is filled with purity and love,
and his thoughts, drawn off from the considera
tion of transitory, fleeting, changing, dying ob
jects, dwell in uninterrupted communion with
the Father of lights, and where his Soul bathes
in the life-giving rays which burst forth in ex
ceeding brilliancy from the everlasting Throne
of love and mercy. My Soul! would that thy
Good Shepherd would lead thee to the summit
of thy Spiritual Pisgah, and there make thee to
build a habitation, whilst thou art being prepared
for higher joys above, and wiiiie oil earth, to
dwell in perfect peace! ZAO.
Wheat Crop. — The Marietta Advocate of
the 21st inst. says: “The frequent heavy and
almost daily ra.ins prevailing in this neighbor’
hood since the commencement of the wheat har
vest until very recently, have been extremely
unfavorable to securing property what was made.
Upon inquiry of some of our farmers, as to the
yield of the wheat crop now coming in, wc learn
that while some have never made a better than
the presant one, others estimate their return at
three fourths, one half or one fourth of the a
inount usually made. One who is a close ob
server and in whose judgment we have the high
est confidence, states it to be his decided opin
ion that there are now in Georgia fuily as many
bushels of wheat as at the harvest of last year.—
This opinion wc know is at variance with the
general impression of a comparative failure in
the crop. A few weeks will enable us to judge
better ol ilie correctness of this impression.’’
Rcssian Railway.— The Railroad Journal !
of 2d instant contains an account of this double ]
Railroad, undertaken by Nicholas, to connect
the two chiefeities of Russia. The distance is j
four hundred and twenty miles ; the work was]
entrusted to Col. Geo. W. Whistler, an Ameri.
can, who died recently, after having accom
plished 4 large portion of the work. The Em
peror employed another American to complete
the work, on which Messrs. Harrison, Wiiians,
and Eastwick have a contract of more than four
millions of dollars. They have already furnish
ed, of Russian manufacture, one hundred and
sixty-two locomotive engines, seventy-two pas
senger cars, two thousand five hundred and
eighty freight cars, and two carriages eighty feet
long for tiie imperial family. The whole line
is laid double, and the journey can he perform
ed in ten hours when the road is completed.—
Forty millions of dollars, or less than the Croton
Works have cost New York, is the estimate for
the railroad and locomotives.

1 lie gencrat health enjoyed by the citizens of
Macon is, probably, without a parallel in any
community of its size in the Union. To insure
this blessing, a general state of cleanliness du
ring the summer mouths should he rigorously

hy called upon to report the names of two citi. |
zens for each square in the city, whose duty it
shall he to co-operate with the Aldermen and
Board of Health, to examine, at least once a
week, until the 10th of October, all yards and
cellars, and to require tiie instant removal from
the city of all nuisances and filth calculated to
engender disease. Occupants of houses are
called upon to cause their premises to ho thor
oughly cleansed and ventilated ; and it is farther
suggested, that the yards and cellars having
been cleansed, should be sprinkled with liine or
some other disinfecting agent. Those who are
[ aware of the existence of nuisances of any kind,
i likely to become dangerous to the health of the
j city, should lose no time in reporting the same
!to the Mayor. Proper vigilance will he cxcr
