Bomrastrs AMD his Boots.—There is trouble brewing In South Carolina. The reat of the Union does not aeetn to be awaru of it—but there is no doubt of the fact Tho penial warmth of the Spring, Instead of animating her more kind, ly sympathies, seems only to ferment theaapof her asperity. Her patriotism and her palmcttocs become gfreen together. Tho temperature of her heroic ardor rises with the mercury, and by the time of the dog days she will be equally ready lor the hydrophobia or a fight. The newspapers of South Carolina are talking of CotttmHleee of Safety and Correspondence, non-intercourse, confiscation, and such revolu tionary things. All this la very alarming; yet ■tacit ia the apathy of the public mind that we ob serve no airne of a wholcsomo terror anywhere. The little State ia quite in earnest; yet the public rt&rnVWtotd'.iYlHfrdhM fear nabody would care about U. Dut, iu, Jvff own part, inch it the admiration we cherish for chlvajhr that it ia always sure of our applause even though it appears mounted only on the stump, or figures nowhere but upon paper. It may bo a perversity of taste, but we must confess that our Idea of a hero is the greater in propor tion as hit statute ia lnsa; we prefer Oen. Thumb to the Belgian giant; and cannot imagine a per fect champion except in high-heeled boots, and of auch attitude only tost he wonld have to stand on tip-toe to puli an adversary's nose. South Carolina U rcmarkablo for ; racverance in wrath. She varies only in the aspects of it. She will not be in a good humor on any terms. Her nose, like her musket, ia always cocked. She would consider it an abandonment of dignity to ? Ut on an afluble look, and Stato rights would be n danger if ahe should once relax into a smile. The price of liberty ia eternal vigilance—and following effect: " The people of .Oils Stale may, after due delib eration and reflection, adopt a atrict non-inter- course In ttadeand commerce,a* regards UieNi rth- ero States. This, if adopted, would doubtless have tho same effect, but to Make it thoroughly effec tiye it,rpo*t receive the full consent of the mau of ou{ people. It must be adopted only after mature and calm deliberation. We want to see no storm raised within our own confines; we would deprecate any measure that would array ono portion of the people of this State against the other, either in sentiment qr action. What ever course is .deemed desirable, to be of any avaII, it must be Adopted with tho greatest unani mity. “When ••agitation" was necessary to arouse the people. It was our duty to be diligent in the matter. . Now that the people have taken the ini tiative in their district meetings, our duty, and the duty of the press throughout the State, we be- lievetobethe securing of perfect harmony and unauimity of opinion In their further acts end de liberations. To this task the South Carolinian will apply itself, and will endeavor to avoid the agitation of any scheme which might carry with in itself the elements of its own destruction, and consequently defeat our purposes. "Confiscation" of the property of tho people of the North has boen hinted at and suggested. We believe such a proposition wholly indefensible at this time. It is an extreme measure, and should only be adopt- od at Ihi last extremity. And is there any man of common sense who does not know that auch a procedure would at once involve us in civil war? Better, far better, would it be for the whole South calmly to avow their determination to withdraw from th*ooaJa«Ur»ejr saddtfln* th« limit*of* n,» Republic. "Tho course to be pursued—the mode of action to be adopted—is now, we consider, entirely in the hands of the Committees of Safety and Cor respondence.' They must get to work. The people did not appoint them 1 under any other ex pectation but that they would %eork. We feel con fident they will not abuse the solemn trust com mitted to their charge, and that we will hear from them at an early day. "Our time or umits will not permit us to consider the non-intercourse proposition to-day; we will do so probably hereafter. We believe the suggestion to bo a good one; and that no better means could be usodto bring the people of tbc North to their senses,- But it must be the voluntary sacrifice of the whole people, and must be the policy of two • or more Slates to render it successful to any great extent." It is lamentable that with a heart so set upon treason tills unfortunate commonwealth should never find her way to it. The Tantalus of States, she pines within sight of what she longs for yet cannot reach. She is always batfied when she B lots rebellion, and cannot by any accident atom ic upon it. The disclosure ia given forth, how ever, that it "must be the policy of two or more States to render it successful to any greatextent." There is the drawback. She would willingly break into the citadel of the Union and despoil ft of Us treasures, but sho cannot venture without an accomplice: she must bare "a centre-bit and a boy." But thus for she sits alone in the realms of non-Contout. The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle, one of the best papers of the South, gives some wholesome advice to tho little termagant State, which the latter, of course, will not follow. The Chronfclo intimates that the best way to establish a proper degree of non-intercourse with the North is for tho people pf South-Carolina to manufac ture for themselves every article now made for them in New England; that anti-abolition resolu tions will not prevent t£e State from losing a representative under the ratio of the next census; and it has the temerity to add that a cart load of good manure is worth more to the commonwealth than a thousand such resolutions. The idea! Stato rights and guano, liberty and lime—that it should cotno to this! Disdainful chivalry ex pands his offended nostrils. Bui U la fui llier added that "the trade and com merce of a small aggregate of deserted, desolated cotton plantations"—meaning thereby the mag nanimous State, of South Carolina—"will be of little consequence to the rest of the Unionand that instead of exporting so many emigrants and their proporty, for which no return whatever is left behind, South Carolina should take measures to invite immigrants with their capital, their in dustry and their enterprise, to come and settle permaneqtly within her limits. But, as we have said, this advice will not be followod—at least uot yet. South Carolina will stick to her two stonli politics and cottoni and as the latter foils off a will cultivate the other more largely. She will manufacture nothing but resolutions. In propor* tion as she loses her representatives in Congress, tbose.thst remain, like the Sybilline books, will increase in importance as the number grows less: if but one should be left, the whole State would scarcely be large enough to hold him; if all should disappear, ahe would be represented in the lower House, as -he already U in the Senate, by *a gi gantic shadow. Universal Suitraok.—The "Courrier dec Etats Unis" tells a good story of a veteran of the Empire, an ex-soldier of some eighty-nine years of age, who insisted upon marching a league or sofo deposits his vote for the Napoleonic candl dale,- His friends and family opposed him on itc- count of his age and infirmities, but nothing could shake his patriotic determination. Upon his return he' met one of his neighbors, who en* qulrod why he had not voted. ."Not voted!" roared the Imperial velerim. "1 did) I-marphcd all tho way down to the town and whenjeame to a public building with a crevice, into which a lot of young fellows were depositing their ballots, I threw in mine." .The old man had polled his vote in the letter box df the Poll Office. Srir-Appreciation.—An Irish laborer plung ed into fiie river and hauled out a gentleman who wu accidentally drowning y the gentleman re warded Pat with a sixpence, "Well," said the dripping miser, seeing Pat’ doubtful pause," ain’t you satisfied? Do yoi think you ought to have morirt V* ."Och!" answered the poor fellow looking hard, at tho ono itc hod rescued,’ "I think I’m over paid!" ' Q3- The Western Mail had not arrived when the Pott Office closed last evening. Cticurr Coust op thb United States.—'The regular Spring term of this Court for the South ern District of Georgia, which was to have com menced in this city yesterday, stands adjourned to, Monday, the 93d Inst. Christ Church.—At an election for Wardens and Vestrymen held at the Church yesterday, Wx. B. Bulloch and Wu. P. Hujrrat were elect ed Wardens, and Wu. Thornh Williams, Rost. Hasirsham, Richd. R. Cutler, John M. Ber rien, James Potter, Norman Wallace, and Jacob Waldsuro were elected Vestrymen. 8t. John’s Church.—At an election for War dens and Vestrymen held si the Church yesterday, Rost. M. Chaslton and G. R. Hrnduceson were elected Wardens; and Jos. S. Fay, Wm. II. Bulloch, R. G. Gvebard, John E. Ward, John W. Nevitt, Geo. S. Haedino, Dr. T. Stewardson, and Wm. B. Giles, Vestrymen. The Southern Liter art Messenger for April has been promptly received. The Editor, In no ticing new works, pays the following compliment to one of our fellow-townsmen, who had sent him a copy of the MSS. of the late Col. Hawkins, a portion of the "Collections of the Georgia His torical Society": . "We are indebted to our excellent friend, Mr. I. K. Tefft, whose seal in historical rcaeaich has made his name well-known on both aides of the Atlantic, for a copy of this useful publication. Tho present number contains a vast deal of curl- taken from MSS. of the late Colonel Beniamin Hawkins, the earliest Agent of the United States for Indian Affairs. The Societv is indebted for tho use of these MSS. to Mr. Teffl, its Correspond ing Secretary, undef whose guidance the Institu tion itself has attained a proud eminence among the scientific corporations of America." Col. Jambs 8. Calhoun.—It gives us pleasure to annoqnce the appointment of Col. Calhoun, of Columbus, to be Indian Agent at Santa Fe, in New Mexico. His knowledge of the Mexican and Indian character, no less than his energy and en larged experience among men, eminently qualify him for 0te post to which the administration has called him. ID* The Marietta Helicon, of the 6th Inst., con tains the following libera! sentiments, which we take much pleasure in commending to our citi- sens, and especially our business men: Savannah Directory.—On dismissing from our advertising columns our long list of Savannah patrons, whose time has expired, we experience sincere regret. They form a prominent part and parcel of that peculiar spot in %e8rgia, in the prosperity of which w# have ever felt the deepest inlet est. To aid in promoting her advancement, and in building her up to what she is destined to become, a Urge commercial emporium, will at all times constitute one of our most pleasing duties. Mueh prejudice has prevailed against Savannsb and its inhabitants, which we are proud to any is yielding to a better feeling. And we are certain that wo haxard nothing in saying that were all Georgians as well acquainted with tofo as we are, their prejudices would soon become changed into partUllUes. She is the proper outlet for the trade of the State—give it to her, and she will soon be s city of which we niay well be proud. She has bestowed on us a liberal patronage, for which she has our grateful thanks and best wishes; and whether her patronage to us individually, be con< tlnued or withdrawn, will not affect our desire to witness her prosperity. The Slavesy Question among the Chebo- kees.—The feud in the MethodUt Episcopal church, North and South, has appeared In the Cherokee county, in a moat rancorouts shape. The Southern church have auppueu tue uuernkees with pastors for some years, but the church North, according to the Cherokee 'Advocate, of the 36th February, sent another paator, who arrived in duo time. The Advocate says: "No religious meeting* can be held at night without a riot. . Mr. Gurley attempted it at a private house, where, it was supposed, he intend ed, to lecture hia disciples secretly, upon matters which he deemed prudent not to broach in the public congregation. The house was surrounded by a mob, Mr. Gurley compelled to flee, and the meeting broken up. The windows of our new brick church have been dashed to pieces, the stoves torn down, and the interior of the church thrown into the wildest disorder.. Hence acts of retaliation follow. The excitement hasgotamong the irreligious portion of the nation, and matters must come to a crisis shortly." New Caufobnia Pares.—James M. Cbane, Ek,. , of Richmond, has lasuod proposals for pub lishing ••The California Whig," at San Francisco. Persona wishing to subscribe or advertise can do so by sending their names to Hon. W. W. Sea. ton, or Col. M. Thompson, Washington; Hon. Henbt Meigs and Gen. Adonibam Ciiandlze, New-York. Oty* ^any desire to know why a ship is called the, we answer fn the words of s witty contempo rary, "because the rigging costs more than the Hon. B. A. Biolack.—It is stated on the author ity of letters from Wilkesbarre, that the family of the Hon. B. A. Bidlack, the American charge d’affaires at Bogota, have letters from him dated the 12tb January?in which he speaks of his health as being excellent. Tho Bogota papers contain no reference to bis death, which was reported to have taken place on the tilth of January. The news was brought to New York by the captain of vessel from Savsnilla. Stsanoe Case or Bioamy.—A strange case of bigamy has just come to light in Brooklyn, in volving the peace of a respectable family. The Adverlittr says: " The husband of a very amiable lady, and father of a numerous progeny of children, sud denly became enamoured of a young girl, many years his junior, and, in defiance of the law, (but without making known to her hia situation.) married her. They havo since continued to live together in apparent harmony and rontcAtmsnt, ana he has occasionally called upon hia first wife, and visited hia children, one of whom is married. This most singular condition of things has been concealed from li# public eye with greatcare until very recently, when a circumstance occur red which will probably result in bringing the whole affair before the public. Should such de velopments take place as we anticipate, they will indeed show that ’truth is stranger than fic tion.’ ” Guatemala and the United States.—The New-York Exprttt noticing the appointment of E. G. Squires as Charge to Guatemala, says :— "The Secretory of State, as we understand, in this case, steps out of the rule established, that ho would make no changes in the diplomatic agents of this country till the end of the fiscal year, for two purposes; the flrat, and the main one, to have a representative of this country in Nicaragua, to secure the right of way for a ship canal through Lake Nicaragua and Lake Leon; and second, in order to have there a ^gentleman, who will be directly useful to his country, as a •tudeni of Indian antiquities It was at one time in contemplation to abolish the mission, as the Government there is pretty well broken up; but the necessity of hiving the right of way for i ship equal, makes this now ono of the most im portant missions we have." Curious~Sweas!N0.-—In lawsuits between Rus sians and Ostyaks, it is still the custom, at Bere- soy, to bring into court a bead of a bear; and this animal, which ia supposed to be omniscient, is there appealed to as a witness to the Ostyaks. In ■wearing, they make tiie gesture of eating, and call upou the bear to devour them in liko manner, if they do not tell the truth. Business in Egypt.—During the past year 2347 passengers traversed Egypt on their route to and from India; and the total number of travel lers who visited Egypt amounted to 3007. Tho foreign merchandise which passed through the country was valued at 1,888,830 dollars. The specie 2,366,400 dollars. A half of one per cent transit duty is levied on goods by the government for the protection afforded in the passage. South Carolina.—Wo have occasionally re ferred to tho grandiloquence and self-importance of the people of Carolina; and in doing so, it bos been our object to show them to themselves m others sometimes see them. For such an object, tlie instrument of rldiculs baa generally been fouud efficacious elsewhere, and it is one which we have not hesitated to uao. But there is a yet more serious aspect uudyr which wo have attempt ed to consider the mutual relations of Carolina and Georgia. We have contended, do now, and shall ever contend, against any an ogatlonof superiority on the part of South Carolina, and against her exer cising any controul whatever over our Internal af fairs. There is a sect in fids State too much accus tomed to took up to Carolina, as though weiwere in some measure a dependent province of that8tsto. We have felt a pressure from Carolina in our Halls of Legislation, and we are sensible now of attempts ou the part of her cltisens to influence opinion along the linee of our Rail-Roads. We have copied more than one article from the North ern papers which gave to them the credit of con. ■tructing our lines of Rail-Road, when the whole world ought to know the truth, that they have never expended one cent for that object—Uiat ourllnes of in- ternalimproveinents are solely the resultof our own enterprise and of our own legislation. Only re cently we have seen Mr. Secretary Walkee, at a public banquet in Charleston, toast the citixcns of that town for extending their lines of Rail-Road through Georgia to Tennessee.. Now and then we find an internal agitation in this State, which may too often be traced to the baleful influence exer cised by Mr. Calhoun and his associates over certain of our members of Congress. All these things we deprecate. The people of Georgia should think aud act for themselves. Georiria should lead Carolina—and not follow her, aud but for out party divisions we should witness tome amendment in thl* regard. Unity of action does wonders for Carolina—almost as much as the internal improvements and produc tions of Georgia, without the aid of which she would be insignificant indeed. As might be expected, some of our Carolina friends have shown some sensitiveness at our course. This we regret, because we have never been actuated by any feelings of animosity towards their State; but it never happened otherwise, and never will, that an independent press did not give occasional offence. We have made these few ob servations by way of introduction to a caustic ar ticle which we this day publish from the Balti more American—one of the ablest and fairest papers in the United States. Our object in re publishing it is not to give offence, but to show that some of the best thinkers and best writers of the day are going further than ourselves In the vein of ridicule. The article has been so univer sally copied in Virginia and elsewhere, that we may be excused for doing the same thing. Almost an Answis.—We have called on our amiable neighbour for some weeks consecutively to tell ua plainly, whether he approved of Mr! Calhoun’s Address or Mr. Coss’e. We have adopted all manner of tactic* to iuduce him to give a manly, straightforward answer, but with out success. In yesterday’s paper he makes a sickly effort at reply, but its delphic tones amount to nothing. One would suppose, after reading the article, that the Editor had adopted Tally- band’s principle—to use words, not to convey our Ideas, but to conceal them. He has evidently pur sued tho non-committal policy—an art which ho probably learned some years ago when Mastin' Van Buben was his beau ideal of s politician. IIo evidently attempts to create the impression that he Is answearing our questions, when in deed nothing is farther from his Intentions.- But this will not do; we wish the Georgian to speak out as becomes a journal untrammelled by fear or power, and let the public know what his opinions, his "idea#" are, and not treat Uiem to an article of dry and barren words. He has been denouncing Southern Whigs and presses, for inomlM paat. Ibr nol nnillnf *>llh Mr- f • ■ unn«. ancf has even accused them of an attempt to pre pare the public mind for the passage of the Wil- mot Proviso. It so turns out that Mr. Cods de clined to act with Mr. Calhoun; and if the Whigs were wrong, he must bo also. Both Mr v Calhoun and Mr. Cos* cannot be right; the one promulgates one address, and the second a totally different one; forty five Southern Dem crate agree upon the first, while Mr. Cobb, with three or four others, declare by their conduct that it is not fit to be laid before the American people. They eschew It, as biing unworthy of their adhe sion. Now as Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Cobs, the sun and the comet of Southern "agitators," occu py such antagonistic positions, and as Messrs. Stephens and Toombs have been so bitterly de- nounced for refusing their sanction of the Mani festo, we wish to know how the Georgian will ex cuse "the distinguished Congressman from the 6th District," for failing to do what he has abused others for failing to do! We have an object in view in desiring an explicit answer to this and our former questions, which will be made apparent shoujd our amtable neighbor ever make up his mind to return one. One thing has been gained by this controversy: tho Georgian has been forced to assume ■ more rational tone in regard to tho Slavery question. If left alone now, we think he would droptheaub- jeet altogether; for every blow that he strikes must fall either upon the great Carolinian and his co adjutors, or upon the "distinguished Congress' man," who chose to issue an address of his own. As a proof of this change, we need only extract the followihg passage from bis article of yester* day. "Upon sober reflection, it will be discovered that the great distinction, at last, in principle, be tween the Southern Senators and Representatives in Washington upon tho slave question, was real ly between those who believed that a time for ac tlon, on the part of the South, had arrived, and those who maintained that it had not.” We are truly glad that he has, indulged in little ••eober reflection,” and hope that it may be productive of good by inducing him to do so more frequently for the future than it has been his cus tom heretofore. tbs highet happiness which Is in reserve in the to com*. It cannot be that roan is a mere machine, destined to move over the surfaoe of tho earth for a certain period, and then to become ex tinct. Th’e noble qualities of-.hU mind, hia feel ings, affections, and aspirations after a higher destiny, all impress him with the conviction, that there is a ftilure and more elevated existence. The universality of this conviction Is In favor of Its truth; and before it is yielded, stronger evi dence must be produced, than is tobe found in the experiment* oi Mr. SMEE,or the reasoning of the author of the Verges of Creation. A Veteran Coat.-A day or two since two of the oldest citixcns of Baltimore met on the street, nnd after passing the usual salutations, the fol lowing conversation ensued: "Mr. R.»” said one of tho parties, »"it strikes me that the coat you now wear has been In service a long time;’’ to which Mr. R. responded in the affirmative, add ing that it had been to him a moet faithful gar ment. Upon fttrlher inquiry he added, "tho coat which you now see I purchased In the year ISIS, thirty-six yeare since, of thoUte Robert Benson! for which I paid $6*.” The coat ia in the real antique style, of blue cloth snd furnished with large bras* buttoue, endfromprcsentappearances Is In pretty good order even at this late day.— What will the young bucks jf the city sty to this, many of whom obtain a halfdosen coats annual ly, and think it fa not extramgant? And, what will the tailors say? Appointments by thel’rrriilrnt and Heads of CofieriorsqfCHSfoms. John J. Walker, Mobil* vice Jas. E. Saunders. Isaiah D. Hart, St. John’s Florida, vico Charles Dy Wm.

Mr. Alfred Smee, the surgeon to the Bank of Bn; land, aud inventor of the battery which bears ' name, hns announced important discoveries ... annimal electricity. By a test, which he terms electro-voltaic, He has satisfied himself that the terminations of the sensor nerves are po»Ulv«> poles of a voltaic circuit, while the muscular substance is the negative pole. The sensor nerves are the telegraphs whififi carry tho sensation to the brain, and the motor nerves carry back tho volition to the muscles. Tho brain he infers to consist of five distinct voltaic circles, which, upon theoretical grounds, he believes to be sufficient to account for all mental phenomena. Mr. Smee has succeeded in making artificial electrical fish and artificial muscular substance. The bare announcement of such a discovery must put the whole medical world upon the alert, and in their hands, for the E rrant, we leave it. Should Mr. Smec’s views b confirmed by other investigators,lie will estab lish an imperishable name in the records *f phys iological science." The Courier publishes some remarks by a cor- respondent, in denial of the accuracy of (he posi tions assumed by Mr. Smee. One of his posi tions, (remarks the^iltimore Clipper,) it appears to us, strikes at the future existence of the soul«of man; and should not, tborefore, be received true, unless such evidence can bo exhibited in favor, ns will silence all doubt.' We allqde to sentence—"the brain, be infers, to consist of distinct voltaic circles, which, upon theoretical grounds, he believes to bo sufficient to account for all mental phenomena.” Now, If we rightly understand this sentence, it means, that the mind of man fa nothing more than the result of gal vanic action. It has no separate or distinct exist ence or identity, end fa a mere effect of certain ma terial combinations, and-of course dire when these combinations cease to act. To this conclusion we hope we shall never come; for lhe moet pleas ing contemplation, of the orrant life is, that Arab Danoino.— 1 The dinner having been de voured to the last fragment, dancing succeeded. Sotno scruples had to be overcome before tho women would join, as there were other tribes, be sides their own, presentpand when at length, by the exertions of Mr. Hormuid Rassam, this diffi culty was overcome, they made up different sets. Those who did not take an aotlve ehare in the, amusements seated themselves on the gross, and formed* large circle around tho dancers. The Sheikhs remained on the sofas and divans. The dance of the Arabs, the Debke, as it fa called, re sembles in some respect that of the Albanians, and those who perform in it are scarcely less vehement in their gestures, or leu extravagant in their excitement, than those wild mountaineers. They form a circle, holding one another by the hand, and, moving slowly- round at first, go through a shuffling step with'their feet, twisting their bodies Into various attitudes. As the music K 'ckens. their movements are more active; they mp with their feet, yell their war-cry, >nd . M jjj hurry round tho musicians. The osef (ho women ere not without grace; but sa they insist on wrapping themselves in their coarse cloaks before they join In the danco, their forms, which the simple Arab shirt so well (displays, are entirely concealed. When those who formed the Debke were completely exhausted by their exertions, they joined the look ers on, and seated themselves on the ground.— Two warriors of different tribes, furnished with shields and drawn scimitars, then entered the cir cle and went through the sword dance. At the music quickened, the excitement of the perform ers increased- The bystanders at length were obliged to interfere, and to deprive the combatants of their weapons, which were replaced by stout staves. With these they belaboured one another unmercifully to the great enjoyment of the crowd. On every succeufurhit, the tribe to which the one who dealt it belongi*! set up their wsr.crv and shouts of applause, whilst tns women deaf ened us with the ehrill ••thalehl,” a noise made by a combined motion of the tongue, throat and hand, vibrated rapidly over the mouth. When an Arab or a Kurd hears the tahlehl he almost loses his senses through excitement, and fa ready lo commit any desperate act. A party of Kur- sh jesters from the mountains, entertained the Arabs, with performances and imitations more a- musing then refined. They were received with s louts of laughter.

Edilort:—The public should be made aware that a new attempt fa about to be made to run a line of wharf-beade on the 8outh aide of Hutchinson's Island. It has already been declared that such a measure, if carried out, would be in- jurioua to the navigation of the River; and would embrace, for individual benefit, a very considera ble portion of the public domain. A little enquiry into the matter by those who feel interested in this important subject, vis: the navigation of the River, will put them in possession of the facta of the case, and suggest the proper means of pre vention. The intention of tills article fa to awaken public attention.

They are well written and free from the bitter prejudices which aclm to be pecu liar to the greater part of architectural writers, One of the essays on Polychromatic decoration fa especially entitled to praise; the last number of the Literary World contained an essay on Shop Fronts from which we make the following extract: There are two manners upon which shop fronts should be arranged, no matter what the "style 1 may bo that is cnosen for their details, and these two general arrangements admit of all varieties of style. One or other of theso should be follow ed, if we wish a consistent, harmonious whole, and both of them ran so be treated as to present that variety and consanguinity in tho parts upon which the perfection of the whole depends. The first of these is to throw back the front above the store, so as to leave the lower portion, or the shop front,projecting, and thus to relieve it entirely of the burden of the mass above. A very mod erate receding would suffice for this, and might be so arranged that the weight of the wall would fall over the lino of tho recessed door ways, now so generally in use, from the advan tage of giving a "return" of the windows on each side of the door. The jambs of this doorway coulc then be of iron, and would support the lintel bear ing the front above, and the unsightly columns which at present disfigure the show windows, would be got rid of. Perfect freedom of desif for tiie shop front would thus bo obtained, t "solids" or supports bclongingto it could bo at tenuated to tho lost degree orvisibility, without any hurt to the eyes from the ponderous moss of the front above, which could be satisfactorily sup posed to find its support by an interior continua tion to the ground. The moet delicate, the most elaborate display of the art could bo exhibited, for a clear field would be given to invention, and that without reference to thefacade above, for under tiiia arrangement the whole shop front would be but a projected showcase, and would bo but prolongation of the interior fittings, with which * ' ’* with thi ‘ should harmonize rather than v. the front above. Beautiful specimens of design, suitable for shop fronts in this manner, may bo seen In London, some in the Elizabethan, others in the Louie XIV. and Renuisaance styles, though not all projected in the way we have described. One thing fa es sential in the treatment of such designs, namely, that these shop fronts should not support any thing; altlmugh a balcony. fbr the convenience of the second floor front, might be appropriately obtained, if consistently woven in with the gene ral design. A whole block of shops constructed in this wty, would ha^e a beautiful appearunce, and greatly Improve the aspect of the street, as it would thus to widened by the depth of the rei above the shop front.

(born at Psssau) who had shown bis rapacity fur gormandizing in rndny houses at Hanover. This wonderful man has as early as his third year eaten stones to appease his hunger. His parents, and even his grandmother had Men stone-eaters. According to the judicial doqlara tion of his wife, ho was never satisfied, excepl when he mixed stones with his food, of which Ire had constantly a supply about him. Yes, he was once about going to Holland, and having heard that stone* were not plenty there, he took several hundred weight with him. Thi* man was always huugry, fltid therefore, ate the whole night. Tno longest interval from satiety hunger again, was one hour and a half, was able to consume at one meal seventeen her ring, as many quarts of beer, without taking into the account an equal portion of bread.— Atone time he ate two calves, one boiled, tho other roasted, in the space of eight hours. At Brunswick, he eta at the castle, twenty-five pounds of roasted beef, besides having eaten be fore, five portions in a refectory. He also ati other things, such ns metals, and felt, yot he would not cat cat-fish, towards which ho nad unconquerable aversion. Krolonicker, who v_ in his youth a soldier, when quartered, on ac- count of his unheard of appetite, was counted at eight men. Ufa wonderful, but his passion for eating onco saved Ida life!. for in an engagement he was struck by a bullet in tho abdomen, bul this being full or stones, the ball rebounded, &nc ho wo* but slightly wounded. After his death it was found by dissection that his bowels container a multitude of metals and some flesh; also pound and a half of stones.—Exchange Paper.

It aims too much at mere accomplishments, neglocts that which is lastingly useful, and tends to producos heartless, artificial character. It fa truo there are endless " ’ologics" In which the ladles now dc- ight; plenty of arts and sciences which fashion nsists they must be taught, and of dialect which they love to patter; but it fa for show, not for ser vice. we fear, that these things ore learned. With allour respect for them we must say we deem the moulding of tho heart, the education of the character, tube infinitely more important. The mothers of the most celebrated men have been far more remarkable for strength of character than for genius or acquirement—a strength of charac ter which is not incompatible with Teminlno soft- ness of feeling. This education of character does not st all preclude intellectual education; we only ask that women should learn to use their minds as well os thejr memories, and the heart ccep up that "communication with the head, which ip modern belles, fa os irregular as the transmission of the mails." All systems, however, by which young women are taught to move their limbs according to the rule of art. to enter a room with a studied diffi dence, and to scat themselves in a chair with measured action snd studied grace, should be utterly exploded; for they are only calculated to cecp perpetually to their minds the degrading dea that they are preparing for the great mar- ret of the world. Real propriety oi demeanor springs only from the mind; fashionable schools teach but its counterfeit, while they forbid to be ingenuous. In such places the whole of ear- *“ life fa spent Id getting rid of nature, and in le acquirement of artifice, till the heart and mind are no more like that for which they were at first intended, than the tree which some labori ous cit has trained into the shape of a pea cock fa like that which haa grown up in all the vigorous luxuraiqgp of its native forest. Some minds there are nature eo strong and elastic as to rclnund from the pressure of such an education into the region of natural enthusiasm and innocent true-hearted ness, but the mass are so moulded that they are but pasteboard, whnle- bone and buckram things, creatures of puffery and artifice, whose every word, look and fret, every thing they do, is but a trick of eustom. Weil hns it been said of one who "finfaned her education" at such an establishment, that "when the martlet, her dayt of happiness are gone."

At a meeting of the Board of Directors, the following Preamblo and Resolutions were passed: Whkreas, The Capital stock of this Company subscribed is only 02,650,000. of which fa paid in tho sum of 02,649,165, whilr " * ' •tructing am its books accotmtft. , 0218,314 29, which ha* at various times been ta ken from the Reserved Fund or earnings of the Company: And, Whcsbab, There fa still a Reserved Fund of 0160,861 26. of which at least 0100,000 baa been invested in the Road and ita equipments, showing that the sum of 0318,814 29 has been of necessity taken from the Road earnings for want of an adequate capital, instead of being divided among the Stockholders, a system, which in the present condition of things should cease; And, whereas, this Board considers that the said sum of 02,660,000 at which the investment now stands upon the books of the Company as below tiie fair cash value of the Rood* ana equipments, without further additions to them; And, whereat, the rapidly increasing business of the Road has made it the duty of this Board, as,itis the manifest interest of tbeCotnpany to meet it by contracting for 6,600 tons of rails, to relay tho flat bar portion of the track, involving with other outlays an investment of 0460,000; And, whereas, it fa manifestly unjust to the B resent Stockholders, if it can be avoided, that ie said expenditure (being for construction and permament improvements, and s far different matter from repairs) should fall on them by the absorption of the earnings of their capital, in stead of dividing the same, more especially so, when the present investment is worth fully dollar for dollar, the sum at which it stands charged; And whereas, it is evident from the past snd present, that tho road on its present footing, can annually «**ru atlcMt eight prr rent on a capital of 03,000,000, having earned 91-3 per cent on its ^resent capital last year, and os so far the ratio of increase this year snows still better things; And whereas, when its capabilities are increased ind its condition improved by the new iron, thus lessening wear and tear of machinery, cost of re pairs, and expedition* business, the ratio of nett earnings must be atnl greater; Retolved, therefore.
