Let such as uro rich be thankful far their Wealth, (if it hath been hon. cstly come by;) and let such as are poor be thank- tul that they have no such charge upon their souls. Let old tolks be thankfull'or theirvrisdom in know ing that young folks are fools -, and let young ones be thankful that they may live to see the time when they may use the same privilege. Let lean folks bo thankful for their spare ribs, which are not a burthen lu the harvest-Geld ; fat folks may laugh at lean ones, and grow fattor every day. Let married tolks be thankful for blessings both little and great • let bache lore and old malda be thankful for the, privilege of kissing other folk's babies, and creel good may it do them. Let no man look upon a turkey to-day, and say “This, also,1i vanity.” What is the life ot man with- ohtenfature comforts, and the stomach of the son of man'with no aid from the tin kitchen ? Despise not the day of small things, while there are pullets on the aplt, and let every fowl have fair play, between the taws of thy philosophy.

But we can assure the editor, that we are not to be the least disconcerted by his calling us names or“makiug faces at us.” The time has been when such things, would have made us feel ,very bad, but though we have not heard it thunder os often as he has, we are yet too old to beaunoyetlby such juvenile warfare- jgp" One of the most striking facts of the times is the great increase In the population of Georgia, as denoted by the recent census. It exceeds that of any State in the Lniou. and has been, since 1840, for ty five per centum. Whether this fact is a cause or a consequence of diversified Industrial pursuits, or whether it results from the central situation of the State, would be something which it would be agreea- hie to Know, (says the Mobile Tribune.) One thing, however,, it doe* prove, namely, that slave institu tions are not necessarily anti-progressive in thoir ef fects on wealth and population, PhtuLATioN of Augusta.—The AuguBta Republic says the population of that city will reach over l!!t.000— H being an increase of frotn 35 to 40 per cent since, the census taken in 1845. Caaifobma Senator—We see it stated that Hon,, M. H. McAllister, recently of this State, ia spoken of as a prominent candidate for U. S. Senator, in place of Mr. Fremont, whose term shortly ex pires. <• Those periodicals are the criticnl censors of the British scholastic and literary world. By their criti cisms, they aid readerB in tho addition ot stand ard valuable books ; and by the epitomes which they present, often obviate the necessity of consulting works too voluminous for general examination. They fill a place which American magazines cannot supply ; for they discuss topics relating more strict ly to the affairs, political, religious, scientific, and liternry.of the continent of Europe. They are con ducted by tho best talent of Great Britain ; and are engaged with the miist important questions which in terest or agitate the civilized world. Whoever sub scribes to them all, may read the ablest representa tives of the principal parties into which the peoplo of Great Britain are divided." THE EDINBURGH BEVIEW is the exponent, of the Whig party in Great Britain, having from its commenc -ment advocated Freedom and tho rights of the people. The leaders of the To ry party, at whom thn thunders of its eloquence were especially directed, finding it too powerful an Insftu- ment to bo resisted by ordinary means, established tho “Quarterly,” or as it is distinguished among the Americun Reprints, THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW, whereby to counteract that influence which its pow erful rival exerted agninst thoir measures. Men of tho highest literary rank, as well as digni taries civil and ecclesiastic, have contributed and continue to contribute to the pages of these works. THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW. This able lournal was established under tho patron age and support of the ultra-liberals, so styled, of the British House of Commons. It has ever been espe- claUy devoted to the great topics which interest the mass of the people. Its pages have been rife, it will be remembered with a series of powerful arti lee. tend ing to the reduction ofTory and exclusive privileges, hereditary rights, kingly prerogatives, 4c. Not on ly has its articles ever been directed against the afore-mentioned abuses; the work has also maintain ed an unrelenting crusade against the alliance of Church and State, thus virtually seeking to abolish tho “Parliamentary Religion" of England and event ually to remove the still existing remnants of feudal ism, which continue to afflict the British nation. In many particulars, the Westminster Review espouses a political laith closely allied to that of our own country, and therefore we may, without any extra ordinary effort of charity, be induced to cherish it as sn exotic worthy of being engrafted into our more genial soil. THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW is a work of more recent origin than those already described—but is nevertheless, destined to occupy as prominent a place in the Republic of Letters. The basis of this Journal is the evangelism oi the Nine teeuth century ; It is not ultra in its views on any one of the grand departments of human knowledge at the same timo it never drifts from its moorings on the shores of the pure Evangelical religion of the Bible. Nor will it fail to compare moat favorably with every other cotemporary in the amount of tap ent, energy, and spirit, enlisted on its side. It is not to be considered strictly a Theological Re view, tor topics of every • kind calculated to occupy and interest the well cultivated mind are introduced BLACKWOOD'S EDINBUBGH MAGAZINE is less exclusive in its character than the works al ready noticed; its contents may be considered under the general heads of classical literature, biography, narratives historical and fictitious, poetry, critical analyses of new works, Ate,, 4c. The high order- ofita disquisitions has long rendered it proudly dis Mis. Bell Murtin.who recently died in New York city, immediately on her arrival in a sailing vesssel lrom Ireland. Mrs. Martin was tho daughter and heir of Thos. Martin, M. P., of liallinaliinch Castle, in tho County of Galway. She was born to nn immense in heritance, exceding in extent an entire kingdom of some of the German princes,and yielding a yearly in come, above all expenses, of some £5,000 or $25,000. Such were her circumstances and prospects five years ago. In two years time the potato rot, famine, pestilence, tho claims of money lenders, and the agency of British laws, reduced this lady of fortune and almost princely rank, to absolute penury. Her whole estate was brought into the Encumbered Es tate Court and advertised for private sale, and she herself compelled to go forth as a wandei cr with out a home. The Mail says ot thia sad history- " Never was hard fute loss deserved; for her un tiring and active benevolence had been devoted from her childhood to the comtort and relief of those who suffered, and her powerful and original mind was in cessantly employed in devising means of LATEST DATES.

This may, and it may not, bo so. At present the banks of South Carolina are in e very sound condition, and pertectly able to redeem their bills, so far as we know. It cannot be disguised, however, that the course which is being pursued in toatstate at present,must materially injure the credit of her banks, unless it be speedily stop ped. At present, however, we see no reason to re fuse the bills of the South Carolina banks.—Knox- vM&Register. We designed alluding to this subject ourself, but the Register has applied the corrective to the unwar rantable attempt that has been made in certain quar ters to depreciate the currency of South Carolina, which we believe since the foundation of the Govern ment has ranked second to that of no other State in the Union. If Carolina politics aro at a discount in Georgia aqd Tennessee, her money, nevertheless, passes current. How favorably the magnanimity of toe Register, a Btrong Union print, contrasts with the petty malignity of those who have labored to ant on foot a rumor to the injury ef the people of a sister State. It seems that there are meu whose political principles are dictated by their persona) interests and prejudices rather than by the convictions of their judgments.
