Ia ahj thing more admirably calculated to bring rldioule upon Savannah * than a charge made by one ol her leading Journals, that a member ol the Legis lature who Uvea (by the usually travelled route) near ly tour hundred mllea from ue, In toting upon an ap propriation to a road scarcely less remote, was actua ted by hostlly to Savannah I Is Savannah tho State of Georgia t Is It not preposterous to say that a voto upon ft measure In which she was not named, and In whleb she was certainly far leas Interested than many other portions of Georgia, was given through hostility to her? Why not say that It was through enmity to Augusta or Charleston that Se ward opposed this Immense expenditure ? Both those cities are as much interested in the condition of the State road as this. Such reasoning is calculated to do Savannah a much greater Injury than Col. Se ward. Take a parallel case—Tho Republican has proclaim ed the deep interest which Savannah feels in the com pletion of the Girard and Mobilo road. Suppose a proposition Is introduced into our Legislature, at its next session, to give a half million of dollars to that enterprise, and some member from Lowndes county or Camden county votes against it, woe bo to him, if he ever aspires to represent Savannah in the Congress of the United States? That vote, according to the Rc- publican, will prove him the enemy of this city, and consequently to be repudiated by her, whenever ap pealed to for her support. We know not what Col. Seward’s reasons were for opposing the gift of half a million to the State road. We do not think it important to inquire. It is not, however, difficult to conceive of reasons which ret might have deemed sufficient, had wo been in his place—the representative of Thomas county. We should probably have argued thus—" Georgia lias al ready spent three or four millions of dollars to open a communication by which six or eight of her north western counties can reach an Atlantic port. That communication has been opened, and those counties, (though the road la not a perfect one) have been in calculably beneflttou by it. Ought not something to bo now done for a region tliut pays more taxes than they, which is more remote than they ever were, from the markets of the world,—of larger extent, and yet has never had ono dollar from the pnblio treasu ry with which to build it a highway.” It scenis not incredible to us that Col. Seward and other re prcsentatives from Southern Georgia reasoned in this wise—and voted without stopping to think once of the Savannah Republican and the city which it ia do ing so little to serve. But our neighbor has further evidence of Col. Se ward’s enmity. Tho members of the last Legisla ture were invited to visit Savannah and Col. Seward did not come i Is the Republican sure that he did send an excuse" compliments and regrets?” If it were necessary—surely it is not—we should mention that we have been informed that ho was pre vented by sickness from accepting the city’s invita tion. Lastly. Wo have brought forward, again, Colonel Seward's support of the Brunswick road, and it is hinted that at a Railroad meeting held in Thomas- villa, last February, be said or did something very unfriendly to Savannah. On this point, at present, we do no more than ask that if Col. Seward did or said anything, on that occasion, which is to be used against him, let it bo forthcoming now, while there is time for investigation, explanation, or for rebutting testimony, if there be any. We want nothing of the kind kept back until the eve of the election. Hon esty and fair dealing require that whatever charges are to bo made, and whatever evidence is to be ad duced, be brought forward now. If they aro not—if they are suppressed until too late for Col. Hhward to defend himself, tho publio will not bo Blow in deci ding upon their character and the character of those who would deliberately play Buch a game. All the Talents t The Republican, in a very solemn address to the •• voters of this Congressional District,” tells them Mr. Bartow ia much superior to Col. Seward. Of course he is 1 Being a Whig, how could he bo other wise ? Belonging to the party which has all the de cency, all the talents, all the wealth, and all tho re spectability—who would think of comparing any Democrat with him ? We put the question to our readers—did they ever hear of a Whig who was not a much wiser and a far better man than his Demo cratic opponent ? Mr. Jefferson, according to fed eral Whig authority, was but a visionary and a dream er, while John Adams was a great statesman: Gen. Jackson an Ignoramus as compared with Quincy Adame : James K. Pole, a third-rate politician— Henry Clay an unrivalled orator: Franklin Pierce, nobody—Winfield Scott, an all-conquering hero. Yet the people of this country were such fools as to prefer Tom. Jefferson to John Adams, An drew Jackson to John Quincy, James K. Polk to Henry Clay, and Franklin Pierce to Gen. Scott i Having themselves no principles which they would not sacrifice for office, Wny ot the Whig leaders can not, for their lives, comprehend the reason why tho people, through devotion to Democratic principles, should prefer plain men, like Jackson,and Polk and Pierce, to scholars, and orators, and heroes—like Adams and Clay and Scott. Yet so it has been, is now, and will probably continue to be. But the oth er day, Tennessee elected as her Governor ono who, ten years Bince, was a tailor—Andy Johnson* a very plain man, over bis competitor, one of tho finest pub lio speakers in tho West. Now all this is as utter foolishness to the intellectual, refined and aristocratic circles of Wbiggory as were tho simple principles of the Gospel to tho cultivated Greeks of tho days of St. Paul. That a man liko James Seward, born in the piney woods, of parents too poor to send him to school after ho was ten years of age, left to struggle on, without friends, without weultb, without educa tion, other than be could acquire by the light of pino knots—that he, after having fought his way to the position of tho first lawyer In South-western Georgia, should, while acknowledging and lamenting tho want of early advantages, presume to bo a candidate, in opposition to a gentleman of city birth, college edu cation, aristocratic associations and superior oratory, doubtless greatly surprises the editors of the Savan nah Republican. They are, for aught wc know, as much astonished as was Sir Leicester Didlock at learning that the son of his housekeeper, a mere iron monger, bad been Invited to be a candidate for the Home o( Commons; “ a remarkable example of the confusion into which the present age has fallen; of the obliteration of landmarks, the opening of flood gates, and the uprooting of distinctions.” Yet, suppose the people, who preferred Polk to so great a man as Olay, and Pierce to so great a men as Scott, shall prefer James L. Seward to so great a man as Mr. Bartow—what is to be done about it ?— Will the Republican toll us? If we only bad an Al gerine Law, to keep men from voting who own less - than a thousand dollars worth of property, the thing might be easily prevented. Can’t Mr. Jenkins, if made Governor, be induced to give us the benefit of aneb a law in this Congressional District ? Bat that , would oome too late for the present contest Upon the whole, oar opinion Is, that a majority of the voters of this District have determined to send Col. Seward to Congress—and will do it—despite the opposition of tho Republican. New Cotton—The first bale of new cotton which has reached this city, directly from the planter, was received yesterday from the plantation of Samuel Maner, Esq., Bobertville, 8. C. It was consigned to Mr. 8. Solomons. Fire faiths by snn-stroko occurred in New York, bn.t|>e llth instant, and soveral on the previous day.

House’s Printing Telegraph. Tho Richmond TVmn Is rqjqlclng at the proapoct of the early extension of House’s Printing Telegraph line, as tor South as Petersburg. We wish most hesttily that Its proprietors could be persuaded to extend it as far Bouth as Savannah-yes and from t hU city to New Orleans. Wo believe that If It wore brought here the telegraphing from this place would bo Increased fouhfold—to the satisfaction and ad. vantogo of all our business men. Is not this matter worthy the attention of the merchants and press of this city. Perhaps ajolntcflbrt on the part of Char leston and SavaunaU might accomplish something for both. Yellow Fever on the Joun Cummins.—Dr. Dkm- err, the health officer of this port, yesterday visited tho ship John Cummins, in Cockspur Roads, and fouud tho steward, ono of tho two men heretofore al luded to, in a dying condition, while the other is not considered out of danger. All necessary provisions have been made for the comfort of the sick, and the safety of others ou board, who are not allowed to communicate with any porson off tho vessel, except the health officer of the port. No new cases have occurred. The Hon. Joseph W. J ackson was yesterday duly qualified, before tho JuBtico of the Interior Court, os Judge of the Supremo Court of the Eastern District of this State, vice Hon. Henry R. Jackson resigned. The Poor Celestials.—Several bcnovoiontly in clined geutiomen of tho city of New York liavo taken it upon themselves to collect funds to enablo tho Chlncso Dramatic Company to return to China. The Mirror says their wardrobe will be redeemed and sold for what it will bring; their expenses at the Shakes peare Hotel paid, and their passage home guaranteed, It is estimated that $5,000 will relieve them of ail lia bilities and dispatch them on their voyage. This is ccrtaiuiy more creditablo than to consign them to the charities of Blackwell's Island. Arrival of the Auousta—Tho U. S. M. steam ship Augusta, Capt. Lyon, arrived at an early hour yesterday morning, bringing New York dates of Sat urday. For some reason we did not receive our full mails by this arrival. The steamship Washington, Captain Fitch, sailed from New York on Saturday lost, for Southampton and Bremen, taking, among her passengers, the Spanish Minister, Chevalier Calderon de la Barca and family. Steamship Savannah. v-Tho Now York Times, in last Saturday’s notico of the exhibition at tho Crystal Palace, says: "Among tlio curiosities introduced yesterday Is the cylinder of tho Savannah steamship, tho first vessel that ever crossed tho Atlantic by steam, in 1817.— This cylinder is six feet and a half in length, and forty inches in diameter, and is exhibited by the pro prietors of the Atlautio Works in this city. Tho cyl inder has a creed bearing what purports to be a fac simile of a sliver tea-kettle, presented by Lord Lyne- doch to Captain Rogers, of the Savannah, nt St. Pe tersburg, when his Lordsuip was British Ambassador, at tile time of the Savannah's visit to Europe. Wc would recommend that the creed be renewed, and made a fac-simile, as the present one has two errors iu the name of Lord Lynedocb—the k being left out, and tho lost letter is rnado k iustead of n,a fact noted by Lady Ellesmere at her Iqst visit. The tea-kettle, with the original papers, are on exhibition nt the Palace. There is a beautiful oscillating cylinder, fur nished by the Allaire Works, that will compare with any engine-work iu tho world. This splendid speci men of mechanical skill stands by the side of the old pioneer cylinder of the Savannah." Foreign Items by the Africa. London, July 30. The rebels captured Amoy on tho l'Jth of May, af ter a severe fight. They are most friendly to foreign ers, and protected the factories and British Consulate. They profess a desire to trade in all articles except opium. Any decisive success on the part of tho rebels in the North would apparently cause a gradual rise, and lead to a convulsion of the Empire. An attempt to re-take Amoy had tailed. Tho North China Herald of May 7 Bays : " It is understood that the steamer of the United States Japan Squadroo, nowin port, will shortly sail for Japan, and be joined there hv the other v*»«wl<« nr the squadron. Commodore Perry, we hear, will hoist - ills flagon board the Susquehanna on Monday May 9. He is accompanied by Dr. S. W. Williams, of Canton, os interpreter. The Peruvian bark Caprice, has been chartered by the Commodore as the despatch vessel to the Japan Expedition. A correspondent of the London News, says that ‘the Sultan has now 290,01)0 men under arms, a number sufficient to detent the troops of the Czar, which are being decimated by typhus fever, and pri vations of all sorts.” Don Jose de lu Concha, has presented to the Span ish Government a memoir on the political,state, gov- 'eminent and administration of Cuba, and had re quested permission to publish it. On the 20tl» the boxes containing Gioberti’s man uscripts were opened at Turin, by his literary execu tors and selections from them will be published. A lady mronaut, named Emma Verdler, fell from a balloon the other day. at Monteamileu, and was killed. Lord Rutbvcn, a Scottish nobleman, is dead. The London Police are demanding more pay, and threaten to strike as tho Manchester lorco did, if their demands arc refused. Dr. Newman has handed over the balance of his defence fund, £3600, to tho new Roman University in Ireland, with the exception of a tew hundred pounds to one of tho English religious houses. The Census, The Richmond Enquirer says : " We are gratified, as will bo the whole country, to learn that the elabo rate statistics of the Census of 1830 arc now in the hands of the public printer, and are being passed through them with all the rapidity that the extensive machinery and manual power of tho office will admit. They will ho embraced in a single quarto volumo, similar in appearance to those of the Congressional Globe, of 1600 or 1700 pages, in a clear and elegant type, on bcantifui paper, and with an admirable tab ular arrangement. The binding will be neat and sub stantial, and the entire volume of a size very conve nient for handling and for reference, and in this, as well as In other respects, contrasting faborably with the other documents published by order of govern ment. The Appendix includes brief and condensed notes, necessary to the understanding or explanation of the text, or to account for any of its deficiencies, and the introductory chapter comprises the aggre gate for tho United States, their comparison with those of other census returns, and with the returns of foreign countries. Some remarks follow upon the f ilan of the census, in the preparation of which circu- are have been freely sent out by Mr. DeBow to mem bers of Congress and to others, to guard as far as pos sible against tho chances of error, or to furnish, if possible, tho means ofits detection. •* The arrangement or the census is such that the States and Territories can be detached, if desired, from the volumo, thoir statistical results being de veloped in every iuatance separately, in tho following tabular forms : I. Population by Counties—Classification of Ages and Color—aggregate. II. Population by subdivision of counties. Ilf. Natives of the population. IV. Births, Marriages, Deaths, Dwellings, and Families. V. Progress of population from 1700 to 1830. VI. Deaf and Dumb, Blind. Insane and Idiotic. Ylf. Colleges, Academies, Schools, Ac. VIII. Attending Schools during the year, as return ed by families. IX. Adults iu tho State who cunnot read and write. X. Professions, occupations, and trades of tho male population. XL Agriculture, farms, and implements, stock, products, home manufactures, Ac. XII.

The Washington Union copies from tha Times the narrative of the long imprisonment and final escape of Capt, Walter M. Gibson, and appends the follow ing remark*: From the same source we Ieam that an investiga tion was commenced by Mr. Webster, as Secretary of State, but that it waa arrested by his death, we take for certain that Captain Gibson's rights, as an American citizen, will receive due consideration from the present Administration ; and that they will be adjusted according to tho strict rulos of international law. It is much to bo regretted, however, that the Investigation was not prosecuted to a conclusion da ring the into Administration, whilst Captain Gibson was auflering the horrors of a Dutch dungeon. Of coarse, wo cannot venture an opinion os to the result ot such negotiations as may be put on foot. To form *n opinion on the exparte narrative of Captain Gib son would be premature: but we have no hesitation in saying that bis narrative make* out a proper case for examination and investigation by our Government, and we have as little hesitation in saying that what ever may be fonnd to be the rights or Captain Gibson in the premises, our Government will seo that full reparation is made. If the investigation, however, shall show that, by ton laws or nations, Captain Gib son bad placed himself in a condition in which his rights, as an American citizen, were forfeited, onr Government will be bonnd so to determine. With the facts now before ns, wo can venture no opinion as to the result; but wo content ousclves with the confident prediction that every jot and title of Capt. Gibson’s rights will be vigorously gqarded and pro tected by tue Administration. lor the .fa mi about the dopot, tod, with the lntofanof of * potty ■official, raised hls cano and MruoOlm. T^ raan waa about to take (ustioo Into bla Own hands, but the fallow claimed the protection or his master and his suite, who, or oourse. all took his part, and supposed their diplomatic character would enable him to get off with Impunity. . , , 4 , Mr. 8mlth, tho Conductor and Agent, immediately waited on tho Minister in the oar, stated tho case, and olvilly but Urmly remarked that auoh an uuprovoked outrage coutd not be tolerated here; and wound up by expreaslng the hope that the Minister would end the builtioM, os ho easily could, by apologizing. The Minister smiled. Apologizoi Did Monsieur It Conductor know whom he was addressing? It was M. Alexandre Bodlsco, Ambassador of the Em peror of Russia i „ Mr. Smith coolly ronlled that If he was the Empe ror ot Russia himself, he was entitled to an apology. And he added that, until he got it, that train would atop where it was, in the Syracuse Depot. Great was the Indignation of the circle, when tills audacious speech was trausiated all round it, and it was found that diplomatic proceedings were bo sud denly brought to a Btoud-etlll. Terrible oaths wore sworn at the conductor, the railroad, the company, the country, the—everybody I Bat, as they were all in Russinn, thoy did not hurt anybody. " I order this train to go on I” said tho Envoy Ex traordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, stopping out on the platform. Tho passengea stared. Tho by standers winked at each other. The little pop-corn and candy boys opened their eyes wide at tho inuu with the long heard, and thought ho must be crazy, But the train did not huilgo an inch. " I order this train to go on l” repeated M. Bodlsco, bringing Ids cams vehemently down on tho platform, by way of emphasis. No result. The smoke curled lazily up from tho locomotive, and the firemen and engineer leaned back on tho wood pile, to onjoy tho fun. Fortunately at this moment a Washington acquain tance, wiio happened to bo on board, came out, and undertook to exulain American customs to the Am bassador. A long colloquy ensued in some foreign fongue, which nobody understood. Tho upshot of it was. however, that a handsome and courteous apolo gy was tendered and received—the Minister adding that Ills ignorance of the language and customs of the country had led him into a mistake. Tho whistle sounded, the bell rung, and away went tho train, car rying two or three wiser people out of Syracuse than it brought in half an hour before. It is barely possible that M. Bodisco’s labors with tho press may terminate in a similar way. After all, it is tho education, not the man, that is to blame. M. Bodlsco is a sensible and accomplished gentleman,os such things go in Russia. There, his requirements would bo treated as perfectly reasonable and proper. Persons go and stop, nt tho bidding of high Diplo matists. Here, however, high Diplomatists oflener come and go at tho bidding of the press. Carriage Iloatl to Mount Washington, The surveys for tho carriage road to the summit or Mount Washington have bo fur progressed as to de monstrate, In the opinion of Mr.Ricker, the engineer, the entire practicability ot tho undertaking, Over one-half of the elevation can bo overcome in a dis tance of four miles, the steepest gradient required being one foot vertical to eight feet horizontal—the grades varying from 1 to 8 to 1 to 20. Mr. Stephenson, at Gorham, spoke in terms of ad miration of tho project, pronouncing the scheme en tirely feasible—lie having prepared tho plans for a still greater work of the same character over the Ap- pcnincs. Mr. Stephenson expressed the belief that the amount of travel to the summit of Mount Washing ton would yet require the use of a railway, worked by horse power, laid on the same grades, with fre quent rests, using tho chip or rachct to hold the trains •when tho curs are not in motion. We aro informed that the enterprise is now made certain, and the intention is to commence work the present year, immediately on the completion of the surveys.—Portland State of Maine. Uncertainty of the Law. A laughable illustration of the heading of this article occurred in Illinois lately, as will be seen by the following, from the Peoria News: " Mr. B. was out hunting with his rifle, and cros sing tho field of Mr. C., a Frenchman, C’s large dog attacked him savagely, while C. stood looking on, without attempting to call off his dog. B., getting out of patience, shot the dog, aud lie fell apparently dead. C., in high dudgeon, forthwith got out a war rant, mid had B. arrested for killing his dog—swore to tho killing, and was corroborated hy two of his neighbors, who were present nt tho shooting. The magistrate fined B. ten dollars and costs, which amounted to about ten more. B. paid Ids fine and costs, and when the parties got home from the trial the dog had got home also, and was not killed, li. then got out a warrant against the Frenchman and his two associates for perjury, in swearing B. had killed his dog. They were frightened, and made peace with B.—paid him back Ids twenty dollars and ten more for his trouble, and no trial was had ; nnd when the parties returned homo from the last suit, lo 1 the dog was dead.” Urtenough’s Group or Statues. w. M.v l.aa.Li.Xtu U,v MuJuooa of Mr. Mills whn is intrusted with tho patting up of Greenough’s group of marble statues lately received at tlio Navy Yard, for tlio following descriptive information os to tho group. This group is the workmanship ot the cele brated American sculptor Greenough, and is to he placed on the basis of the greut staircaso of the Capi tol at Washington. The group is composed of the civilized man nnd the savage, of tho woman with her son in her arms, nnd of a dog. It represents the civilized man, strong in moral and physical power, surprising nnd seizing a savage, and, by inspiring in him n sentiment or humanity, hinders him from committing the barbarity of killing tho son of a poor woman. An irregular mass of rock forms the pedestal of the group. The civilized man and the snvage are to be placed in the centre of tlio pedestal. On the right will stand tho mother and her sou; aud on the left will bo placed the dog. It was the intention of the illustrious artist to su porintoud, in person, the erection or the group, in order to retouch and give a lust hand to the mother and the dog on the spot, and then set the rock and pieces ot marblo, enclosed in boxes for tlio purpose, so os to form only one group, inducing tho beholder to believe that the whole was formed of one piece Next to the greut artist, the most appropriate person to superintend tho erection was Mr. Mills, and we have no doubt that he will carry out successfully the design which Mr. Greenough was prevented from ex ecuting by the hand of death.—Wash. Union. A Wonderful Ego.—Our friend, Mr. Lyons, the principal of the well known educational institute At Tarry town, has just shown us a curious ami indeed wondertul egg, laid by a common fowl on his famu li is double, the outer shell measuring about seven inches in circumference longitudinally, nnd being of course about the size of a goose's egg. The inner one is almost of the ordinary size of a hen’s. The outer one had a large yolk, and tho inner one two yolks. The hen often lays two eggs a day.—N. Y. Commercial. Up to 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, no less than 30 deaths were reported at the Coroner's office. Of these upwards of20 were caused by the excessive heat of the weather. The coroners were busily engaged during day in holding inquisitions npon the bodies. Of those who died on Thursday, many inquisitions will have to bo deferred until to-day.—Jv. I’. Express 13/A.

The Statutes of niort-innin wore declared not to npply to a person in her condition. Tlio case is regarded as important not only for the consequences resulting pecuniarily, but as making void,so far as tlio law can, tho vow of pov erty taken hy professed nuns. Tho decision will make some noiso iu tho world, and is taken to the British House of Lords on appeal Arrest of a Postmaster fob Rorbino the Mail.—For some years past depredations have been committed upon the U.

By enclosing a ten dollar bill, marked privately, in a letter, Mr. Chapman most ollcctually caught tho bird. Mr. John Foults, postmaster at Moltrie Station, on tho C. A I’. R. It., nine miles below Alliance, in a day or two passed that identical bill on a railroad conductor. Mr. Chapman, accompanied by U. S. Marshall Fitch, proceeded to Moltrie Station, where thoy learned that Mr. Foults was serving at New Lisbon, Columbiana Co., as a grand juror. They proceeded to that place, and mndo tho arrest, and placing the prisoner in a boggy returned to Alliance. The prisoner is a man of property, and has served postmaster a number of years. He was terribly footed when arrested.—Cleveland Plain dealer. A Thoroughly Educated People—In the State of New Hampshire—with a population ot 315,000— there aro but seventy-six persons between tho ages of fourteen and twenty-one, who are unable to read or write, a fact which shows sufficiently the educational advancement of that State, where the people are prob ably better educated than any where in the Union.— There are ninety thonsand pupils on tho school lists, seventy thousand of whom attended the winter schools; and tlio whole number persons between the nges or Tour and fourteen, not attending school at all, is but 3,530. A Singular Fact.—A marriage solemnized in South Carolina is Indissoluble either by consent of the parties, or by the judgment of any foreign tribunal, or statute of any foreigp Legislature.

Death on the Railroad.—At the Colombia train of cars were passing a bridge near tho forks of the road on Sunduy murulng fast, a sudden jar arrested tile attention of the engineer, the ears were stopped, and the body of a negro uinn found lying with his head and rluht arm over the culvert or the bridge.— Hu was perfectly dead at the time, the cars having ran (from Ids left hip) transversely across the body over tho rlghtHhouldcr. Upon examination, we learn that a wound on the rteht side was discovered, sup posed to have been Inflicted by a kulfe.

" Mary,” said George, " next summer I will not have a garden. Our pretty tree is dylug, and I won’t love another tree ns long as I live. I will Imvc a bird next summer, and that will stay all winter.” " George, don’t you remember my beautiful canary ? It died in the middle or tho summer, and we planted bright flowers in tho ground where we buried it. My bird did not live as lung as the tree.” " Well, I don’t see as we can lovo any thing. Dear little brother,died before the bird, and I loved him better than any bird, or tree, or flower. Oh, I wish we could have something to love that wouldn’t die!” The day passed. During the school-hours George nnd Mary had almost forgotten that their tree wus dying; but at evening, ns they drew their chairs to tho table where thoir mother was sitting, and began to arrange the seeds they had been gathering, tlio re membrance of the treo came upon them. *• Mother," said Mury, " you may give these seeds to cousin John ; I never want another garden." " Yes,” added Guorge, pushing tho papers in which ho bad carefully folded them towards Ids mother, " you may give them all away. If I could find some seeds of a tree that would never fade, I should like then to have a garden. I wonder, mother, if there ever was such a garden ?” " Yes, George, I bavo read of a garden where the trees never die." " A real,garden.mother?" " Yes, iny son. In tho middle of the garden,I have been told, there runs a pure river of water, clcur as crystal, and on each Hide of tho river is tho tree of life—a treo that never fades. That garden is Heaven. There you may lovo, and love forever. There will be no dentil—no fading there. Lot your treasure be in the tree of life, nnd you will liave’sometldng to which your hearts can cling without fear,nnd without disap pointment. Lovo the Saviour here, and he will pre pare you to dwell in those green pastures,aud beside those still wuters." A Canine Critic, An amusing story is told of a young Parisian ar tist, who lately painted a portrait of a Duchess, with which her friends were not satisfied, declaring that it was totally unlike. The painter, however, was con vinced that be had succeeded admirably, aud propos ed Hint the question of resemblance or no resem blance should be left to a little dog belonging to the Ducliess, which was agreed to. Accordingly the pic ture was sent to the hotel of the lady the next day, and a large party assembled to witness the test. The dog wss culled in, and no sooner did ho see the por trait then ho sprang upon it, licked it nil over, and sliowed'every demonstration of tho gratest Joy. The triumph of the painter was complete, nnd all present insisted that the picture had >"•»«» a-ot»u«Lutl (lining the night, which was actually so, the artist having rubbed it over with a thin coating ntlard !

" but I thought it must be a good one, as I found it in the Bible." •* Found it in the Bible!'’ quoth the gentleman.— " Pray in what part of the Bible did you And it?" The old lady took down her Bible with the utmost revercuco, and turning to the text, read as follows " Moreover the dog came and licked his sores." *’ There,'' said she triumphantly, •* have I not tho highest authority for the name ?” Domestic Animals in the United States.—Ac cording to the census returns tha number of horses in the United States, nt the last enumeration, was 4,335,- 358,or in about tlio proportion ofone to five of the in habitants.

The demand continues active, chiefly for the payment of duties on the heavy importation* which, thus far. for the present month, far exceed tluiseof nny previous vear. It Is apprehended that the foreign trade, for the current year, must result In a heavy balance against this country, which enn only be liquidated by a large export of coin. In view of this, ami the rather expanded condition of the Banks, the adoption of a more prudent policy by Ihese in stitution* cannot be otherwise than salutary; and the ne- cessl'y of a more frequent expose of their condition will produce more uniformity of action.
