Book Notices,
Elementary Sketches of Moral Philosophy .-.delivered
at the Royal Institution. By the late ltev. Sydney
Smith, M. A. New York: Haute* & BnoTiiEaS.
Those sketches of lectures are evidently unfinished,
but like everything iron) the pen of their learned and
eccentric author, they bear tho impress of ahold and
original mind. We cannot better express ourwwn
opinion ot the book, which we have read vvitli great
pleasure, than by giving die following extract trem
a letter from Lord Jeffbev, to the widow of the uu-
thor, written only a few days previous to the death
of the former. His Lordship says: "The hook seems
to me to be full of good sense, acuteness und right
iccling—very clearly and pleasingly written—ami
with such au admirable mixture of logical intrepidi
ty, with the absence ol all dogmatism, as is rarely met
with in the conduct of such discussions." Lord Jef-
fbbv had, ou a cursory view of MS. on c former occa
sion, hdvised against the publication of these lectures,
but in his letter to Mrs. Smith, he rever-es his form
er decision, and adds: •• My lira impression is, that,
with tew exceptions, they will do him (the author.)
as much credit as anything ho ever wrote; and pro
duce on the whole, a stronger impression of the force
and vivaefty of his intellect, as well as a truer and
more engaging view ot his character, than most of
whut the world has yet seen of his writings."

Tlio North Beginning to Feel—-“Condition
of the Northern Cotton Manufacturers.
A writer in the Boston Advertiser, who seems well
to understand the subject lie discusses, declares there
has been no profit realized from the manufacture of
conrso cotton goods for tho last twenty months.—
There wonld have hern profits, ho odds, if the row
cotton had been sold and not manufactured. Tho
riso in goods has been but three cents a pound, while
the rise in. cotton lias been six. Wo quote from some
of his statistics s
Cost per pound.

Tile nominal market price of these goods is now 7}
cents on 8 months credit; but in fuct they cannot bo
sold freely at 7j cents, which, after deducting inter
est, guaranty, coimniasions, freight and insurance,
will he reduced to 0 85 cents, showing a difference of
GO-lOOtbs of a cent between their cost and the present
value.
The product of n mill of 15.000 spindles (requiring
$50,000 capital) should he 130,000 yards a Week, or
3,380,000 yards for six months, on which, at the pre
sent prices, there must bn a loss of $29,200. The
drillings and shirtings will produce about the same
result.
The writer declares thnt machinery, with the pre
sent prices of the raw material, cannot • bo worked
to advantage; that the stock of goods on hand hits
never been larger; thut one Company could he
mimed which has on hand the whole productions of
seven months, and another with goods amounting
to eight millions of yards of cloth, or thirteen thou
sand hales, and worth nearly halt a million of dol
lars.
Cotton has risen from 6 to 13 1-2 cents, and tho
causes are three: 1st, the short crop of last year, ami
the bud prospects of the present year: 2d, the cheap
ness of mouey in England, which has stimulated spec-
ula'ion; and 3d. tho European consumption caused
by the revival of trade. There is, ssys the writer, no
prospect ot relief from present embarrassment, par
ticularly on account of tho short crop, and the fact
that heavy amounts of goods are in tho hands o*
manufacturers, city dealers, ami country merchants.
High prices also add to the embarrassment, and the
past over-production of these coarse cotton goods at
home. In the South, though the amount ot machine
ry is still small, the increase has been very rapid dur
ing the last four years.

Mr. Editor —Had you taken a trip from here to Au
gusta last spring, in any ono of our fiira steamers, you
would have teen the cane on all sides perfectly dead,
and the top of each cane having its supply of sued.
The cano seeda irregularly, hub whenover It doea go
to seed, it dios, in tho same manner us auy other small
grain.
I recollect reading some years ago an account pub-
lished by the surveyors who ran the lino cither be
tween Virginia nnd North Carolina, or between North
nnd South Carolina,' previous to the American Revo
lution, in which it wus stated that in their first survey
they passed through cane-brakes which were almost
impassable. Beforo the survey was finished, how
ever, something occurred in tlio mother country to
prevent its completion. Upon their return a few
years afterwards, the cam: in tlieso cane-brakes wap
all dead. They imagined tlio woods had been on fire-
Upon inquiry however, they learned frutn the abo
rigines, thnt tho caoo seeded about once in twenty
years, and then died down to the ground. On my
tiip up the river last May, i noticed pltnty of young
cane perfectly green, about Jtuee high.

Unsophisticated F.ditobs,—The Somerset Visi
ter. published in tho interior of Pennsylvania, says
that the people of New York have been tiirown into a
great cxdt^monc by the appearance among them, of
‘ one JancLind, from Sweden,” who sings a good
song, ami has, in consequence been captured by Bar
men and brought to this country. Au editor in the
same enlightened part of t ie world, acknowledges
the receipt of a “ copy ot Shukspeuro, a poet who, it
mill be readily remembered, was noted for his origin
ality und sentiment.”
Li/” The Ohio Colonization Society has purchased
a tract ot territory on tire Coast of Africa, with a view
ot settling it as far as practic ible with colored emigrants
irom thut State. Ohio being ou tho borders of the
slave States, receives a large amount of runaways and
emancipated slaves, in anticipation of future evils
from an undue proporti n of thut class of population,
they favor the colonization project as best for both
whites and blacks.

Short time einoe the Messenger had a sweopl ng article

question and in tlio Telegraph of Tuesday vve find
the following! What does it menu 1
Wo will simply state in reply to the remarks of
the Messenger of Wednesday last, that for any thing
wo have written or may hereafter write, deemed
personally offensive'to tho Editor of that paper or
any other gentleman, wo hold ourselves ready at all
times,to respond in those columns orclsewhere to any
rails that may b i made upon us.
Sin je the above was In type wc have received
the Messenger of yesterday, which liaa the following:
In response to th* abovo, we will merely say. that
having fixed the brand of falsehood where it belongs,
we do not consider ourselves bound, by either the
dictates of humanity, or the laws of chivalry;, to rub
it in. We never follow a "game" unless "it is worth
the candle.” As to bandying epithets, wc will not do
It. In that department we must turn the editor ot the
Telegraph over to a well known eastern cotempora
ry, between whom and himself, it seems to lie under
stood that words are to betaken strictly in a Pickwick
ian sense.
The gentlemen certainly mean something.

In the valley of tho Mississippi there are 89,000 spin
dles, 56.000 of which nre engaged on heavy sheetings,
and the remainder upon No. 14 yarn. The South
ern nnd Western mills consume 89,000 bales, or one-
ninth of the entire consumption of tho country. In
Massachusetts, since the depression in 1843, there
has been, in the larger, towns alette, an increase of
218.000 spindles for the manufacture of course cot
tons, nearly all pf which ure owned in Bo-don.
The writer declares that the only remedy for the
existing embarrassments is to stop production, and
not to resume until there shall lie some greater re
duction in tlie price of cotton, than either two or three
cents a pound. The rame writer also declares, that,
until wages arc restored to the standard of 1814, there
cim be no profit in the manufacture of coarse cottons;
and he urges that there should bo an end to the work
until there is redress.
Remarking on these suggestions of the writer, the
New York Ezpress says: “ He desires an impossibil
ity—the stopping of all the mills for six mouths, the
effect of which would be such un enhancement on the
price of goods as would paya profit on tho whole
stuck, create a reduction in the price of cotton, and
relieve the market. We are now sending coarse cot
tons to Great Britain, and need not fear competition
from that quarter.” The Express thinks “ the cheap
ness of manufacture’’ is the great cause of the depres'
sion, and that over production, the high price of cot
ton nnd the glutted markets, are only incidents id tlio
aggregate of evils complained of by the manufactur
ers.
There is another incident to which neither the
writer in the Advertiser nor the editor of tho Ecprcss,
though they allude to it, attach sufficient Importance;
and thnt is the rapidly increasing production of
course cotton goods.at the South. > It is the supply of
the homo market by Southern mills witli better nnd
cheaper goods—goods that command tlio market
wherever they aro introduced, that is working this
great change in the manufnetut ing interests of the
Eastern and Northern States. -Jt is the hum of
Southern spindles thnt is silencing those ot tho North,
and it is this that will close the doors of the North
ern Mills, not for six months, but for all time. The
South having been forced ton now field of onto r-
priso must make the best of it. nnd with her mani
fold advantages will command the liinrket, with hoi
coarse fabrics at least, nnd supply not only her own
consumption, hut that of the great West and even
tho North itself. It lias bectf demonstrated that n
pound of cotton can he tnken from first hands here
mid rendered into sheeting or osnnhurgs ready for
the merchant’s counter, at the same coBt that it will
require to lay tho same amount of cotton down at
the door of the manufacturer in Lowell, New Eng.
'end, or Manchester, Old England. Cottons of this
character are now manufactured in South Carolina
and Georgia, and sent to New York for a market,
where they are* afterwards purchased by our mer
chants and brought back to supply our own con
sumption. But the day will come wheif we will
have a great market of our own, to which northern
merchants will come to purchase the products of our,
Cotton Looms. As our factories continue to pros
per, and ns more capital is invested in the business
ourinnnufacturers will be enabled to bold their goods,
instead of hurrying them o!f to northern factors,
and Savannah and Cltartoston will’export bale* of
cotton goods to the markets of Europe and tho North
as they now do their Imles ot raw cotton .
It is time that the Northern manufacturers should
bogin to look this matter ill tlio face; pil'd to under
stand its true bearings. They should not overlook the
fact that all the causes which they have assigned for
the press nt depression of their interests are equally
oporative against manufactures at the South, and yet
while they are closing their mills, new ones are almost
daily going into operation at the South, encouraged
by the great success which has attondpd those ulrou •
dy established. No tariff that can be enacted can ov
er re establish the preponderance of Northern maim
fni-turing interests over those of the South. They
may ns well attempt to yiake the cotton itself grow on
the granite hills of Massachusetts under a high protec
tive tariff better than it does on our own genial soil.
The day of their hot-hou-o prosperity is passed
They must incest their capital in Southern Factories
'fthry would continue to reap the profits which they
have heretofore enjoyed, from the business of manu
facturing cottnn goods They must do this or retire
from the field of competition.
A Statue Washed Ashobe. During the heavy
gale of Suturduy ot last week, a box containing a
marble stutue was washed ashore at Fire Island,about
four mil's from the wreck ot the Elizabeth. It is
tile naked figure of a boy standing in a tub of grapes,
which measures ten inches in height, and eighteen
incite* across. The boy holds a bunch of grapes,
eight inches long, in his right hand—his left rusts on
his h:p ; his face inclines to the leit, and his right
toot is balanced on his toe. The height of the statue,
with the tub, is four feet four inches. The .tub is a
very natural representation,tilled to overflowing with
grapes. The whole is in a good condition, having
been well secured in a strong box, five feet five inches
high, and two deep.

ST Washington letter writers occasionally gel
moon-struck. The correspondent of the Philadelphia
Ledger, speaking of this ssmo moon thnt is nuw sup
plying tho place of out gue lights, thus delivers him
self :
Soft as the down’6f zephyr’s wing—if we may be
allowed poetic indulgence—tiro the days and evenings
ulmut this time. By their latiee casements the young
anil beautiful will gaze upon Luna's meandering*
along the deep blue leavens, and dream over
the joys, wanderings, ar.l many, perhaps, never to
be eradicated scenes of navel aim homestead loiter
mgs. Summer has faded and gone, and soon again
the nipping, eager air of autumn and chilling blasts
of winter will east thair sombre mantles over these
almost fairy-like scenes around us : the bright green
mantle ot vernal lice will pass away into tile dull ami
seedy complexi nofa lime-honored und sunburnt
garment. And such islife—sucii the rapid transit of
time to eternity.
No wonder the moon hus wore such a bright face
fur the few nigh s pact. Being femuuiue, she is not
insensible to flattery
The Indian Tribes.
Before tlie annexation to tlie United States of any
of the Mexican territory, or the acquisition of Ore
gun, the whole number of Indians inhabiting the fed- |
oral limits, and dependent upon the bounty of tlio t
general gavernment, wus about 150,000. Now tve
have many times that number, tile majority tribes of
which are pr. datory in their habits, and totally un
qualified to inh bit with our original tribes, whose
progress in civilization and humanity lias been so
steady and flutter in. to the welfare of our border
life. The Cnmanches especially, the must blood
thirsty mid fereeious of all the savage .bands which
renin the continent, are to be feared and put down be
cause, while they number about 80 000 strong, inclin
ing the tribes under the jurisdiction of Mexico, their
acts are generally the vilest and least open to pun
ishment.
From returns received at the Home Department
the question is clear, that the government will hereaf
ter be troubled with :ur barbarous brethren to an ex ■
tent little dreamed ot at the moment, for then- inoral
condition is such that a change for the better is al
most beyond the pale of possibility, while their in
creasing depredations indicate how necessary it is
for early action, if we wish to avoid a second Semi
nole war, another waste of $80,000,1X10, and the sac
rifice of thirty thousand lives. Our own Indians,
with very few exceptions, had become tamed and
submissive, and we applied the unction to our hearts
that massacres and conflagrations were at an end, but
after following us through the subjoined enumeration,
and reflecting that but tlie original 150.000 are semi-
civilized, and the acquired residue still blend with
their habits their native cruelty und hostility to the
whites, die reader will perceive, that upon tile very
first occasion, depending upon future contingencies,
wewillhuvearecnpitulatioiioftho.se evds, only to
be dreaded from an untamed und savage enemy.
■ The writer then proceeds to enumerate various
tribes of Indians embraced Within tho fipw territory
acquired Irom Mexico, in Oregon and Texas, show-
big tlie aggregate to Le 293,992; and then proceeds as
foil ws:
D -d o -ting the original 150.000 from 293.992, and
we have 14.1992 who are quite ns barbarous as they
wi re three hundred years ago, nnd prone to the same
cruelties. Add to the 143.992, one-third of our own
Indians, and we have 200.000 savages to contend witli
upon our frontier!, not including those of the Califor
nia*, which may soon give rise to the utmost watch
fulness upon the part of the goVirmnent to'keep in

In 1848 und the first half 1849 the price of Georgia
Cotton was from 3} toad, per lb averaging about 4}d.
At the close of 1849 prices were 5| to 6fd. Notwith
standing this great advance the actual consumption nnd
I l ade sustained no diminution. At the end of January,
’50, Cotton had risen to 61 to7.Jd. The average de.
liveries uf Cotton for consumption from April 1 to
Aug. I, had risen to 37,348 per week in spite of the
steady and large increase of price. Mills which had
been working short time resumed full work, though
the price of Georgia Cotton reached 8} in July, '50.
Tlie great rise in tlie price of Cotton hus reduced
very much tlie quantity of heavy coarse goods made,
and of course tile quantity ot cloth made Irom n giv
en weight of Cutton lias been greatly increased, und
with this tlie amount of employ moot has increased.
Aud it is admitted thnt till: price of yarns and goods
has been more satisfactory in 1850 than it whs in 1849,
notwithstanding the great advance in the raw mate

Corn Laws, und the tree trade measures which have
opened new markets, and extended old markets for
British manufactures. Stocks in United .States 141,

!”F Dr. Francis Parkmun. says the lioetbii TlmSs,

Professor Webster h few days before his death. It is
added, that the response was not whut, under the
circumstances, it should have been—expressing!
doubts of the truth of Professor W’s confession, and
exhibiting n sp rit of unfnrgiveness, which very
sur ly embittered tho Inst hours of the unfortunate

—The convent, which was ready for tlie reception of
pupils, soys tlie N. Orleans Delta,.took lire at It) o'
clock Oil the morning of the 27th ult., and was burned
to the ground, everything having been lost. On the

A mulatto-boy belonging to Mr. P. was suspected and
Deficiency 185,010 hales.
nnd on the continent it is well known that there
was no stock in hands of spinners or merchants.
1 lie deficiency in the grain and potato crops of
Great Britain and tile continent, anticipated as a con
trolling influence to keep down the price of Cotton.
According to the calculations now mude, the aver

Acros3 the Channel. The channel between
France anil England, has at length been spanned by
the telegraph wires. They extend from Shukspear’s
Cliff, one mile from Dover to Cape Grilles, twelve
miles southwest from Ctilias. The distance be
tween the points ig but 18 miles, but to allow for
unequalness of bottom, there are 23 miles of wire.
The English papers state that this new 1 means ot
communicating across the straits has awakened some
serious consideration on ’change. The talk was that
the electric telegraph must greatly alter tlie mode of
transacting business throughout Europe.
Cranberries.—A gentleman in Norfolk county
Muss., who is lurgely engaged in tlie cultivation of
this fruit, gets, it is said, 150 to 400 bushels per ucre
Irom upluud; and the berries raised by cultivation
are two or three times ns lnrge ns the wild fruit. Near
ly any kind of soil will answer. The Newark Daily
Advertiser has tho Inflowing anecdote, respecting- tlie
first appearance of the Cranberry in England :
We believe they had not the cranberry twenty years
ngo in England, for a gentleman ot Boston, wishing
to make an agreeable present to his friend in that
country, sent him a barrel uf them. Some months
afterwards, h letter came acknowledging tlie dona
tion with inuiiy thanks, hut remarking, thut owing
to tlie length of the voyage, they had turned u little
sour before arrival; but still, with sugiiteon tbem,
they were found quite palatable, taken in small quan
titles with tea. Another barrel' was forwarded, of
course, witli directions to stow them with sugar. We
inter, theretore, from their being eaten raw, thnt it
was then, whatever it may be now, u fruit unknown
to Island Agriculture.
