Wo devoutly believe that mea aw growing more humane, charitable and tender ii their relations with each other, Bcarcely a day pastes that we do not see or hear of some act of klaanoas, self-devotion or char* ity which adorns the character of the Individual, White It elowatee that of humanity. Nor do we al ways look for these beautiful manifestations in benev olent institutions, subscription lists, generous lega cies, or rich endowments. The charity which " suf- fereth long and Is kind," "which vaunteth not itself," " which thlnketh no evil," is as frequently found among the humble and depressing scenes of poverty —in the "short and simple annals of the poor." Oharioe Dickins is right in choosing his heroes and heroines among the poor victims who swarm in the crowded work-house, in the noisome prison, in the pestilent atmosphere of St. Giles. From tho lowest haunts of human misery there wells up unceasingly a living fountain of goodness to make glad the hearts of men. Poor little ragged Jo of Tom-all-AIono’s flee ing timidity from the rigors of society and of the po lice, yet with a heart full of love and humaneness— we have only to open our eyes to sec such swarming on every corner or the streets. Parochial-fed Oliver Twists, withstanding temptation to the last; gentle loving souls like miserable Smike; starved “ Marchi onesses " overrunning with womanly pity and ten derness—these are no Actions, but pictures—realities of every day life. We have no sympathy with the crusty and ill-tem pered aphorism which announces universal depravi ty. Hardly a poor emigrant wanders on our snores but could tell a tale of self-denial, of patience under long suffering, of good feeling, showing itself in acts rather than words—which would give the lie to such ao inhuman doctrine. Let us look at our own circle of poor acquaintances, and see daily examples which we might be proud to Imitate. Don’t wo see fathers toiling manfally, in season and out of season, that their Tittle ones may have the necsslties of life—mo thers robbing themselves to gratify the depraved ap petite .of their drunken or debauched sons; dirty, bare-footed boys supporting their little sisters, and leading them gently by the hand through the crowded street f There ore romances—if wo did but know them—going on ail around ua, more replete with ten derness and humanity than any that Dickens ever wrote. And yet we have been so long taught to be lieve in unleavened wickedness, that when wo Bee such things we doubt our own sonscs, and ask—Is this life, or are we in Utopia? Even the arid and barren walks of business aro daily refreshed with little acta of courtesy, and kind ness,and self-sacrifice, falling refreshingly, like the gentle rain from heaven, and twice blessing, bless ing him who gives and him who takes. The hard heartedness or Wall street is proverbial ; but human nature is the name everywhere, and always has re deeming features. " The cares of this life and the deceitfulness of riches " may cboko the divine seed for a time, but they cannot kill it. There are always some Gheerrible Brothers holding out helping hands to distressed clerks, to strangling young men just entering upon life. Don't we constatly rely upon the good offices of others ? Is there a day in the year that we don’t ask and receive some favor? It was only yesterday that we heard a tale ofbeneficenco on the part of a crusty old business man in South street, that would moisten the eye aud gladden the heart of a Jew. The humanizing tendencies of an advancing civili sation are felt everywhere. Tho good time is com ing I Mon are growing better because they can’t heTp it, if they would. Tho humanitary influences of the day act directly and potently upon every man’s heart. Even tho law ianeoomfna humane, ond wo hear no more of the barbarous punishments which disgraced the enlightened reign of Queen Elizabeth. The Pilory and the whipping-post, foul dungeons, in famous tortures of the body before death, and mutila tions afterwards, live only in books. The poor sui cide is no longer buried on a cross-road with a stake through his heart. Even the murderer is allowed all the favors which humanity can afford, and is accom panied to the scaffold with tho sympathies of the whole community. Drunkenness Is beginning to bo regarded as a disease ; and the idiot and tho blind, the deaf and tbe insane, are lodged in palaces erected by the State. Hospitals, churches, free schools, and benevolent institutions of all sorts, are living rnonu- meats that all men aro brothors, and that the great Uw of horaanlty Is Love. We wish men had more confidence in themselves, greater faith in their own goodness. Wo gain noth ing by constantly telling each other of our deplorable ■ and unmitigated wickedness. Theologians apeak iu vatu to that old tuno of depravity—for we don’t be lieve them, nor never will. If we thought ourselves so ignoble we would not chooso to live. It was only the vain pride of the Pharisee who thanked God he was better than other men that was condemned by our Savior. But the charity which "honeth all things, believeth all things," which cherishes a profound faith that the discords of life can never drown the di vine sources of Harmony which God baa placed in the breast of each one or us, is, after all, the best Re ligion and tbe beat Philosophy.

Several Interesting letters to tho Secretary, from Methodist Indian Missionaries, are published. It seems that in North Carolina there Is a community of 710 Cherokees, who own 17,000 acres. This does not embrace half of their land, tho other portion bcin, left out by reason of the deeds not being recordci They have 1,440 acres improved, which, at tho State price,Ib worth $8,640. They own 83 horses, 105 milch cows, 45 working oxen, 135 other cattlo, 416 Bheep, 616 swine. Their farming utensils are valued at $573. They produce annually 16,366 bushels of corn, 319 bnshels of beans, 343 bushels of Irish potatoes, 1,000 bushels of sweet potatoes. This settlement of Indians also has $27360 of monoy at Interest They havetbelrown blacksmiths,gunsmiths, wheelwrights, and their females have learned to manufacture their clothing. Tholr grist mill was made by one of them- selves. Their lands aro situated at tho baso of the great Iron or Sraooky Mountain, are productive, and the atmosphere is is one of tho healthiest on tho globe. Eminent gentlemen of North Carolina say too Indians are fast improving in tho knowledge of tbe mechanic art* and agriculture ; and in sobriety tboy are equal to, if not in advance of, tho white pop ulation of the State, while tboir moral and religions Improvement Is very apparent. They have also in creased in population, os the last censas Bhows. The Sooiety is doing much good and Ib in a flour ishing condition.

His stay In this country will bo about three months. Spioidb op tiir Bishop op Worcester’s Chap lain.—'Tho Rev. II. J. Stevenson,M. A.. Vicar of Hal low, and oxamining chaplain to the Bishop Worces ter, committed sulcido, on Friday morning, under deeply distressing circumstances. It appears that the reverend gentleman had beon for some timo past suffering under severe mental depression, and was In the habit of getting out or bed shortly after midnight to take some stimulating draught. This he did on Friday morning, and in a moment afterwards seized a razor and drew it across his throat. He expired before his wife (who witnessed the act) could reach him. The reverend gentleman held tbe vicarage of Hallow, with $1200 a year, and was also a prebenda ry of Worcester Cathedral. It is a remarkable cir cumstance that no fewer than four clergymen havo committed suicide during the last week or ten days, namely, the Rev. H. J. Stevenson, the Hon. and Rev. A. P. Perceval (formerly one of her Majesty’s chap lains), the Rev. Humphrey Jackson, B. D., Fellow ol St. John's College, Cambridge, and rector of Holt, and the Rev. John Mayor, B.D., of Lincoln’s College, Oxford.—English paper. A Missionary Deified.—In 1832, Mr. and Mrs. Todd were sent out os missionaries of the American Board to the Tamil people. Mrs. Todd died in 1835, at Doviapatam. Rev. Mr. Taylor, of the Madison Mission, being at that placo in February last, visited her grave to see if the mouuraent was in repair. On reaching the spot, what was his concern, to find that lamps aro burned, sacrifices made and prayers offered to this servant of Christ, and that miracles were commonly reported to havo been wrought there l Ho thought ho would put a fence round the grove ; but then ho considered that this would confirm tho no tion of its sanctity. lie next thought of having the remains removed to tho mission cemetery at Madu ra ; but this would not enlighten tho minds of tho people. "My conclusion," ho says, “was to lot it remain, and report tho facts to tho people of God in America.” __ There aro in tho United States, 36,000 houses of public worship, capable of accommodating 13,849,896 persons (only one-balf the actual population,) and valued at $86,316,639. Tiie Methodists have tho largest number of churches of any other denomina tion, the whole amounting to.1200; the Baptists havo nearly 900, and so down to the Swedonborgians, who havo only 16.—Ch. Cour. Tho attention of men of scionce, in Paris, has beon drown to an extraordinary discovery made in a neigh boring department. A grave digger, in throwing up Borne earth, came upon a body in a state of perfect preservation. On examination it proved to do that of an individual buried thirty-seven years ago. Ho had died from tho effects of the bite of a mad dog.— The shroud and the coffin had fallen to dust, but the body remained intact This la the third exhumation made within twenty years, of bodies of the victims of hydrophobia, under similar circumstances; and it would really seem that they are beyond the reach of decomposition. The registry of deaths was consult ed, aud no mention or the embaimentofthe body was found.—Ch. Cour. Tryino Situation for a Mother.—A few days since, n daughter of Mr. Isaiah bawtelle, or Belgrade, Me., about two years old, fell into a well, eighteen feet deep. The mother was informed ol tho accident, but when she arrived, tho little one had sunk in four feet of water. She ran to a neighbor’s, twenty rods or more, for assistance, but found none. Returning, she lowered tho well-polo to tbe bottom, aud brought the child to the surface, the little thing clinging to the pole with its hands. Tho mother raised it a few feet, when its hold relaxed, and it ngain sank. Again she lowered the pole, which coming in contact with tho little hands, it was taken with a death grasp,and tho child thus drawn up twenty feet, to its mother's arras. Notwithstanding it was apparently dead at the time, by proper exertions it was restored to life. A Busy Pay Day.—A profligate young fellow, a son of a lawyer of Borne eminence in Rhode Island, on a certain muster inspection-day, purchased a horse or an ignorant farmer, and engaged to pay for it on tho next inspection-day. He gave a note j but instead of inspection, he inserted tho word resurrection, ma king it payablo on tho reBurrcction-dny. When the inspection-day had come, and the farmer, unsuspicious of the trick, supposed tho note to be duo, ho called upon the young man for payment. The latter expressed great astonishment that lie should call on him before the note was out. “ But it Is out," said tho farmer, " you promised to pay me tho next inspection-day; the timo has come, and I want my money." "If you look at the note again,” said tho „ 0 man, cooiy," you will find it has a very long while to rnn yet." The farmer was sure tho note was duo or ought to be; but, on spoiling it over carefully, be fouud, to bis astonishment, that itwasnot duo till tho resurrec tion-day. Ho remonstrated with tho young scape grace ; but all to no purpose, and he finally laid tho case before bis father, the lawyer. Tbe latter took his son aside and told him he had better settle the thing at once. " For,” said I10," though tho day is far distant, you aro in a fair way to have business enough on your hands that day without having your notes to settle.” Tho advice was taken. Tragic Scene.—At St. Louis, a few days ago, Mr. Conrad Sleeter, (a German,) a stonecutter, returned homo from hi* daily work, and, after a few words with his wife, called his children, nine in number, round him, and, taking a pistol, placed the muzzle in his mouth, and tho next moment fell to tho floor a mangled corps. Terrible Stroke of Liohtninq.—We regret to learn that a brother of Warren Cooley, of this city, was instantlv killed by lightning, on Tuesday morn ing last, at Peoria, Wyoming county. The deceased Francis Cooley, was standing iu his Btore, filling a camphene can, when tho lightning entered at the back of the building, struck him near the head, and passed out through hia heel, entirely stripping him of his clothes, and causing instant death. Mrs. Cooley and her sister were sitting at the timo, about a table, in a room over the store; and tho top of tho table was separated from its legs in an instant. Two per sons in the store at the time; one, a young man, standing near the door, was tossed into tho stroot, a distance of neatly twonty feet; tho other, a lady, was prostrated and rendered senseless; bnt neither were seriously Injured. Tho deceased was about 30 years of ago, and married, but without children.— Utica Herald. Fiust Fruits of the Grabt Coal Fraud.—Tho mines and effects of tho Brothers Payne have been seized under a judgment—taken on judgment bond of Messrs. Newell, Sturdevaut A Co., for forty-six thousand dollars—4oublo tho amount, wo suppose, of the debt, the creditors probably anticipating other claims to pour In from the Injured parties. Tbe Reading company is understood to havo tho means of detecting every ton of which they and the customers ot tho guilty miners have been defrauded; so that, so soon as the accounts are summed up, there will be a general pushing of refundment. The trade aeem to tmnk It the money Ib paid back, none of the sufferers will prosecute criminally, unless obliged to do so.

SontNCi, with New York dates to Wednesday after noon, arrived yesterday. Just as tho Florida, Captain Woodhull, was taking her departure. By reference to our abip news column it will be seen that both the Imports and exports by these two steamere afford evidence of tho business and pleasure of our citizens, tor In addition to foil freights of raorohandlso, etc., the cabins and state-rooms go woll filled, to the mu tual pleasure and profit of all oonoorned. Tho Purser of the Alabama will please accept our acknowledgments for usual favors. Tho editor of the Romo (Go.) Southerner acknowl edges the receipt of four apparently matured bolls of Cotton, on tho 14th instant, from the hands of Messrs. James Curry and Tuomas Lumpkin. Of course this Is no Indication of tho goueral condition of the crop in tlmt section. Bishop Ives.—A paragraph is going tho rounds of the nowspapor press, and which wo have also oopied, to tho effect that Bishop Ivsa had notified his wife, that being about to outer tho Catholic Priesthood, she must regard their coujugel bonds henceforth and for- evor dissolved. In copying tho paragraph wo sup posed the separation to bo consented to by Mrs. Ives, in order that tho marriage relationship should be no Impediment to tho chosen courso of tho late Bishop. Wo are now satisfied tho whole statement is incor rect, inasmuch as by the rules of the Catholic Church a wifo caunot bo so put away. Nothing but the death of the wifo caunbsolvo tho husband from his mar riage obligation, aud until so absolved ho cannot be allowed tho orders of priosthood. A further ruloof tho church is that oven in the case of lawful dlVorco, for cause, neither party Is again allowed to marry. If this lattor fact was also tho statute law of tbe land wo havo no doubt its influence would bo sal utary In more ways than one. Gent.St.John B.L.Skinner,of Clinton County, N.

Macon, Ga., July 15th, 1853. Messrs. Editors .-—Presuming a short notice of the recent commencement of tho Femnle College here, would not be unluteresting to your reader*, I hereby give you a ihort account of the more prominent parts of it: The attendance was amaller than is usual, and tbe bright faces and sparkling eyes that wo were wont to behold in such largo profusion, were, for the most part,absent, giving to tbe spectators, however, more opportunity of admiring those who graced tho occasion by their presence. The examination of the classes was, as usual, attended by a brilliant throng, who seemed much interested in the advancement of the girls; but, on Wednesday, tlio gradu ating clai* road their compositions in tbe Methodist Church, and as this is regarded as tho trial tost of their accomplish ments. many a heart beat rapidly, and many a throb of restloss anxiety roso within tho b.-easts of tho fair young graduates. The salutatory was a vory flue composition, and wsb road with a liquid closr voico. Tho composition of " Woman’s Rights ” was a most excellent thing, and the claim which the fair orator preferred for tho free and inde pendent exercise of woman's judgment, and her rights in tho scale of social civilization, was warmly responded to, although tho fair and Blunder form of tlie speaker was proof that Woman’s Right was Man’s Protection: at the conclu sion she remarked, that 11 Woman’s destiny was onward— that she would yet wield tho broomstick as scoptro, and bind tho fragments of this glorious Union together with apron strings.” The loud applause with which this was followed was peremptorily sllonced by tho President, who evidenced great fear of applause, because, I presume, he recolvcs so little of it. although tbe trustees of tho church, ns he stated, had only consented to its uso on that condi tion. I know not tlie reason that induces men to such starched views, aVfor myself, I cannot boliove it eithor con trary to scripturo or morality. Tlie compositions were all good, and generally well read; and the graco and action observed, showed their training to be not only mental, but also for tho propor development of the natural gracos. On tho socond dny’s reading, there was less timidity shown then on tho preceding day, and finely written com- positions, ranging from " grave to gay,” wore read with great clearness. Tlie sunny land of Florida being beauti fully represented ; and indeed wo may not wonder at the brilliant beauties that deck our collcgo halls from that loved land, for tho sun of heaven never unfolded a lovellor blossom within her borders than some of the fair and radi ant beauties that havo been nurtured beneath its rays: •‘the world without tho biblo” would be no loss sad a pic ture than Florida without such flowers. “ Old Bachelors ” was denounced as unprofitable, by a smart young girl, and mony on old fellow might hare joyfully exclaimed : “ If thy hand lay mo low, Then is pleasure in tho blow ! ” But a Tew minutes had scarco elapsod ere an advocate, as eloquent as Horienala, and as bright as tho daughter* of Delos, roso up to praise him; oh, how tho withered heart must hare leaped in felicity at the swoet cadonce of such an advocate. A very boautiful composition was road on “ Woman’s Relation to tho Temperance Cause,” by 11 bril liant star from tho Columbus constellation. Tho Valedic tory was fino in its conception and delivery; seldom liavo we heard a production of more merit j it was chaste in dic tion and ornate In style, without profusion; full of tho moat thrilling pathos, that melted In harmony from the lips of tho speaker. Tho exercises closed hy an addresH from Hon. H. V. John son. It was a finished production, and bore tho impress of a master hand. Tho duties and responsibilities of woman Were eloquently and graphically delinlated—tho relations she boro as mother and wifo chastely nnd beautifully drawn —philosophy and belles-lettres sparkled in every sentiment —and marriage as the aim of happiness, and the necessity for a choice, not originating in sordid views of wealth or distinction, but in congeniality o'f sentiment and tastes, forcibly impressed. Mr. Johnson is not an orator, but for force and perspicuity, brilliant thoughts and chastely fin ished metaphors, delivered in a strong, impressive manner, imbued with enrnostness and zeal, ho stands unrivalled ; he lacks tho Impassioned fire and kindling fancy, the free dom and the fluency, which tho truo orator hath, Tho sermon of l>r. Cross was a very excellent production —abounding with the liveliest imagery and the gorgeous docorations of a classic mind. Tho whole affair was one long to bo remembered by the spectators for its interesting incidents; and by the young girls, who havo just launched on life’s voyage, after years have sped over them “ ns the greonest spot In memory’s wauto,” mav the world for them be unclouded with care, nnd may it be radiant whh joy, and hopo glitter along tho waters over which they glide : “ And may their llfo forever prove.

Puiladeu’hia, July 13—President Pierce took a rido through the city at an early hoar this morning, and spent a couple of hours in receiving tho saluta tions of our citizens, who thronged to Independent Hall in great numbers. At 11 o'clock tho President nnd his suite took their departure, en route for New York. At Burlington aud Bristol, New Jersey, ho was greeted by largo as semblages of tho people, who nad gathered from many miles around. He mado but a brief stop, how ever, and returned tho salutations extended to him in a graceful manner. At Bordontown tho President was joined by Gov. Fort, and received an enthusiastic greeting from tho people. At half past 12 o'olock; tho train reached Trenton, whore a civic and military procession was in waiting. Tho President was welcomed to the city and proceed ed on horse back, by the side of Gov. Fort.auational salute of 21 guns Doing fired from a neighboring height. lie was conducted to tho Court Houso amid much enthusiasm, where many ladies were assembled. Chief Justice Grecno welcomed tho President in an appropriate Bpeech, to which he eloqueutly respond ed. Mr. Cusbiug also delivered a brief address.

The following is the note addressed by Count Nes selrode to Reschid Pascha, to which we have already referrcl: St. Petersburg, May 31.1853. Sm-The Emperor, iny august master, 1ms just been irforraed that liis ambassador has been under tho neiessity of leaving Constantinople, In conse quence of the peremptory refusal of the Porte to take towards the Imperial Government of Russia the smallest engagement of a noture to ro-ossuro itjol the protective intentions of the Ottoman Government, with rejard to the orthodox worship and churches iu Turkey It is After a fruitless sojourn of three months—after having exhausted, by word of mouth and by writing, all tho: truth, benevolence, nnd a spirit of concilia tion could dictate—it is, finally, after having endeav ored tomeet (teenager) all the scruples of the Porte by successive modifications to which ho had consent ed in tie terms and the form of the guarantees which ho wasinstrnctsd to demand—that Prince Mcnschi- koff win compelled to take tho determination which tho Errperor learns with sorrow, but of which ho could bit entirely approve. Your Excellency is too enlightened not to foresee tho conseqnenco of tho interruption of our relations with tho government of his highness. You are too devoted to the true and permanent interests of your sovereign and his Empire not to feel a profound re gret in prevision 0!' tlie events which may follow, and tho respjnsibllity of which must rest entirely on those wiD provoke them. Thus, in addrcss.np this letter to-day to your Ex cellency, my only object is to put it in your power, in so far as it is still possible, to render a most im portant service to your sovereign. Place once more the real situation of afiaira before his highness: ex plain to him the noderation and tlie justice of the demand of Russia; the very great insult done to the Emperor by oppsing to hia intentions, which havo constantly been friendly aud generous, unfounded mistrust and inexcusable refusals. The dignity of hi* Majesty, the interests of hia Em pire, tho voico of bis conscience, do not permit him to accept such proceedings in return for those which he baa had, and itlll wishes to entertain, with Tur key. He must leak to obtain their reparation, and to provide agninai their recurrence in future. In a few weeks the troops will receive tho order to cross the froitiers of tho empire, not to wage war, which it ia rqiugnant to his Majesty to undertake against a Sovereign who it has always pleased him to consider a simere ally, but to obtain tnoBe material guarantees uitil the moment when brought to more equitable son intents, tho Ottoman Government will give to Rnssil the moral securities which she baa in vain deraandtl for two years her representatives at Constantlnopo.nnd in the last instance, by her am bassador. The draft tf the noto which Princo Menschikoff I iresented to Jou is in your hands. Let your Excel- ency hasten,after having obtained tho consent of bis Highness .ho Sultan, to sign that note, sans van- antes, aud to ransmit it without delay to our ambas sador at Odcsn, where ho still sojourns. I earnestly lope that at this dccissive moment the counsel which I address to your Excellency, with tho confidence wih which youv enlightened views and patriotism incites me, will bo appreciated by you and by your olleagues in tho Divan ; and tlmt, In the interest o! peace, which wo ought all to bo equal ly desirous ofmaintaining, it will bo adopted wituout hesitation, anl without delay. I am, A?. Nesselrode. TURKEY. The rumor #mt a loan is to bo negotiated for Tur key under theauapicca of England and Franco in not correct. Tho dfficulties that havo sprung up between tlie fort and tlie Netherlands had been promptly ad justed by the French aud English ministers at Con stantinople, The Turkish fleet is concentrated at tho northern extremity of tie Bosphorous, from Thempia to the Black Sea, anl consists of thirty-five ships, two of them three-deckers, three two-deckers, two frigates, four corvette,eight brigs, and eight steamers. This force will be increased by eight ships recalled from other stations, and eight others which are in course of equipment at \hc arsenal. The preparations by laud do not cease far a moment. The correspondent of the London Morning Chron icle says that tho Porte, emboldened by the presence of the allied fleets, had followed up Its rejection of the Russian ultimatum by a demand for armed inter vention addressed to the other four great powers of Europe. Thil statement wants confirmation. From Viema, June 28, it was stated that on tho 17th, M. do Brlabine. the last member of the Russian legation, toot his departure. Before leaving, he caused all the records of tho Embassy to be put on board the steamer that was to convey him to Odessa. By a dispatch from Trieste, Juno 29th, received at London, July 1st, announcing the arrival of tho Lloyd steamer from Constantinople with news to tho 20th, M. Baibine’s leaving is confirmed. The finnan guaranteeing the rights and privileges of tho different religions bodies, was read on the 12th ult., in all the Patriarchates and synagogues. It was well received, and addresses were voted to the Sultan, thanking him for the protection, offered to liberty of worship. Merchant shipping is more wanted than ever at Constantinople and the Black Sea ports. Freights still rising. FRANCE. The Emperor has been reviewing tho troops en camped at Sutory. He was accompanied by tho Em press and tho Duke and Duchess ot Alba. There la no news of striking Importance. The Constitution^ mentions that merchandize, now prohibited, will be admitted for exhibition at tho show of 1853—will he allowed to be exported without charge, or may be sold in France, on mayraent of a duty of 30 per cent. M. Pereigny, the Minister of the Interior, summon ed tho proprietors and editors of the Paris jonrnals, to a conversation lately. In courso of tbe interview tho minister stated that tho government intended to relax rather than increase tlie restrictions of tho press. The announcement was of courso, received with satisfaction. It is necessary to odd, that tho consorshlp of the pre*9, which Formed one of tho branches of the late police department, is now at tached to tho Ministry of tho Interior. Admiral Laruase has been saporseedod la tho com mand of the Mediterranean fleet by Vice Admiral Hamelin. It is said that Laruase is thus degraded for having been twenty-four hours later than tho Brit ish Admiral in bringing up his ships to the Bay of Besika. Letters from Havre mention that the late levy of seamen for the Navy, has caused a scarcity In the merchant service, and wages had risen from 50 fr. to 60 francs por month. Wright, Gandy & Co’s Circular. Per Arabia.] Liverpool July 1,1863. Wo refer to our circular adricos per America, under date of 24th ult, at which period our Cotton market doled qui etly, with a plentiful supply offering. Saturday’s business opened with a good demand in expectation that tbo Ameri can accounts then looked for would excite more activity, aud some Urge purchases wore made early in tho day.

On Monday tho inquiry was general, although not large, resulting in estimated satos of 7.000 bnlos, without alteration in prices. Continental political advices gave a check to tho operations of Tuesday, which were limited to 6,000 bales,holders evincing more anxiety to realize. Tho transactions on Wednesday wore increased to 8,000 bales by tbo tempting Inducements held out to purchasers.

Litter from Mexico. By the arrival of the steamship Texas, Capt.Placo, we havo received files of paper* from Vera Cruz to tho 8th Inst., aud from tbe city of‘Mexico to tho 2ad inst.,Inclusive. The question of the boundary of New Mexico Is a continual aubjcct of discussion. The rumor that Col. Gadsden, Minister Plenipotentiary, boa been in structed to offor a pecuniary indemnity to Moxioo for the Meallla Volley, does not seem to give much satis faction. Moxioo appears thoroughly determined to claim the Manilla valley. Mr. Jalazar Harregul.ohiof of tlie Mexican Boundary Commission, has, wo learn from tho Trait D'Union, sent to the Supreme Gov ernment a long and interesting work on tho subject, in which lie maintains with great ability that the claim of Mexico to the territory in dispute is incon- testiblo, and results from tho stipulations of tho trea ty of Gundaloupe. Ho says that iio will resign Ids commission forthwith, it the Mcxioau government yields a single tittle to the pretensions of Gen. Lane. On the Southern portion of tho Republic, near Gua temala, occurrences have recently taken placo calcu lated to alarm tho Moxicim Government. In conso- quenco of tho disorders prevailing in Chiapas from Intestine commotions several villages have annexed thomsolves to tho Republio or Guatemala. Already three thousand fugitives have passed over into Guate mala. Santa Anna arrivod at Tacubaya on tho 21st ult., wliefe he was received with marked demonstrations of enthusiasm. In tlie evening tho entire town was Illuminated. Tacubaya, since It has become the resi dence of Santa Anna, is a sort of Miolaturo Varaeil- les, where Ministers and official councils are held. On tho 10th ult., Santa Anna issued a decree grant ing an amnesty to all tho soldiers who becamo vol untary prisoners to tho American army during the late war. The persons embraced in this decree are dostined for tho frontier States of tlie North, to Rerve In tho army, and redeem by future good conduct, their dost offence. In consequence' of tills decree, tho junta of qualification is changed to a junta of puri fication. The Universal officially declares that unbroken tranquility aud peace exist in every part of the Re public. According to tbo Siglo the projects of farming the public revenues, and creating a National Bank, after undergoing renewed discussion, bavo boon definitely rejected. The Marquis Rivors, Minister plenipotentiary from Spain, lias been cordially received by tlie President. Tho people of Sonora are still disquieted by appre hensions of nn invasion of their territory. The Universal donies the truth of a report that Mr. Haro y Taraariz has resigned tho offico of Minis ter of Franco. Tho Government has suspended its prosecution of the individuals accused of taking part in the revolu tion of Jalisco. Many of those who arc now in prin on, will, therefore, be set at liberty, and placed under the protection of the several Commandants General. A publication has beon made of tlie import and export trade of Mexico with the United States, from 1829 to 1851. It has fluctuated greatly, and lias in tho main steadily abated. In 1829, for instance, tlie imports were $5,926,761 and the exports$2,231.151.— In 1832, tho former reached nine and a half millions, and the latter nine millions; in 1851, tho importa tions had fallen to $1,804,770 and the export trade to $14581,763. Tte States aro hereafter prohibited from granting naturalization papers to foreigners, tho privilege be ing reserved to tlie President alone. Mr. Levasscur, tlie French Minister to Mexico, left that city on tbo 1st, cr» rou/e for Europe. Ho arriv ed at New Orleans os a passenger on board tho Texas. Santa Anna appears to be sedulously engaged in providing offices for his adherents. Decrees have been issued organizing Cabinet Coun cils, and establishing tbe Internal Economy of the Na tional Palace. A Theatrical Commission, or corps of Censors, has been appointed. Both the Cholera and Yellow Fever prevail exten sively at Vera Cruz. Tho former exists likewise at Julapa, but thus fur has confined its ravages to the poorer classes. A great seal of tho State lias been ordered to lie prepared. Several projects for establishing proper mail routes, for paving and draining the Capital and for other laudable anil useful projects, have been pre sented to the Government. The Indians in Chihuahua,on the 23d May, attack ed two Mexicans, wounded ono and carried off hia daughter. The next day the savages were pursued, overtaken, defeated and their prisoner and booty re covered. Similar outrages have been perpetrated in other parts of the same State.

A New York correspondent gives the following glimpso at the surroundings of the Palace: This is Crystal Palace week—that is to say, this is the week the Palace is expected to “ open." Ac cordingly, ail is hurry ond bustle up in that neigh borhood. Tho boarding houses arc in a state of great oxcitemont, fixing up accommodations, and tlie city railroads every trip are literally loaded with humans, from tbo country, going up to get a glimpse of " the elephant.” The man that exhibits the pig with six legs, is making money fast, while his neighbor, the clmp that shows tlie mammoth oxen, in a “ ranch " near by, says lie has made moiomonoy the few days past than tho original cost of the miinmls. Tlie rattlesnake monger is also in ccstocics, as is also tbe woman who Bhows up the " giant babies ’’ at three cents a peep. Grog Hows in little oceans all around and about, as if in opposition to the Croton water reservoir, near by. Then there aro dance houses, and places where the little joker is going all the while, relieving the green ’uns of their ready money, and laughing to scorn tho praiseworthy exertions of tho American Society for the Suppression of Gambling. As tor tho Palace itself, a gentleman of tho Press, who visited the interior this morning, soya tho pic ture presented is ono of superlative confusion and chaos. Boxes and bundles are piled up from pit to dome, nnd the trumpery “ from all nations ’’ that lie scattered all about the entrances, makes one wonder where they are going to put it—and to wonder tbe more especially, how they aro going to create any sort of order out of so much disorder, by tho 14th. High Price of Negroes. Wo know not to what cause to attribute it, but bet ter prices have been oU'ered by traders for this de scription of property, than we havo ever before known. Negro fellows of very ordinary appearance, are bringing ono thousand dollars very readily.— Women are selling for very largo prices, varying from Heven hundred to ono thousand dollars. Boys weighing about fifty pounds, can be sold for about five hundred dollars. This is tho time for selling, if any one is so disposed.—Anderson Gazette. We would also remark, that about tho samo state of things exists in this town, aud the prospect is, that negroes are going still higher. We know of ono broker, (Mr. M. Co dy,) who sold a number of no groes last week, men and women, at prices ranging from $825 to $1,200; and wo learn that lie has also sold men, without any trade, as high as $1,300- II realy seems that there Is to be no stop to the rise.— This species of property is at least 20 per cent high er now, (in the dull season of the year,) than it was last January, when every body seemed to bo In the market making preparations for the present year.— What negroes will bring next January, it is impossi ble for mortal man to say. An intimate acquaintance of ours had occasion on Saturday last ot buying a houso girl, and the price was only the small sum of $1,000.— Wilmington Journal, 12th. The Physical Condition of JUIncks North and South. Tho Richmond Examiner publishes an interesting statistical article, contrasting the physical condition of tho free blacks of the North, ana the slaves of the South. The Examiner Bays : In Maine, there are 1355 free blacks, of whom 94 are insauo—one to fourteen! In Louisiana, there were 45 insane out of 103,194 slaves—one in every four thousand three hundred and ten. In Massachusetts, the ratio of iusaoity among tho free negroes was one to every 43. In Virginia, 1 to 1286. In Missouri, 1 to 979. In Illinois, 1 to 47. Tho census of 1850 show ed that there was one blind person to every 2445 whites, 1 blind to every 2645 Blaves, whilst among tho free colored persons of the Paradise of tho Abolition ists at tbe North, there is one blind to every eight hundred and seventy. There ia one idiot to every 1040 alaveB, and one idiot to every 436 free blacks ut tho North 1 The total of afflicted, of blind, deaf, dumb, idiotic, and insane among slaves at the South, is one to every 1057—while .these horrid maladies are en dured among tho free blacks of tho North, tinder tho care of Gerrit Smith, Garrison, Aunt Harriet, and Douglass, in tho ratio of one to every three hundred and eleven! A Good Toast.—" The Ladies—Our stars before marriago, and our stripes after." It is not a good toast, and tho fool who gave it ought to bo hustled out of society. The ladies are our stars always—before and alter marriage. They are tho stars that lead us on to tho brighter, bettor deeds—stars that throw gleams of joy and happiness over life’s dark pathway.

Tho common consent of all who liavo used Barry'h Tri- copherus. whether for tho improvement ami invigoration of tlie hair, or for eruptions, outs, bruises. Ac., places it at the hoa«l all preparations Intended for the tike purposes. This is no Ill-considered assertion. Figures and facts bear it out. Tho sales nverngo a million of bottles a year: the receipts, in cash, $100,000. This year the business will exceed that amount. The number of orders which dally arrivo at tho depot and manufactory, 137 Broadway, New York, address ed to Professor Barry, enclosing cash, and requiring imme diate attention, would scarcely be bclievod. Tho wholesale demand is from 2.000 to 3,000 bottles a day, probably ex ceeding that of all tho other bair preparations conjoined. Tlie popularity of tho nrticle everywhere, nnd the liberal terms to dealers, combino to increase its sales with great rapidity ; nnd improvements in Its composition, made at considerable expense, adds to its reputation as well or in trinsic value.
