In this work the author has done himself and the

we may be allowed to Judge from the somewhat hasty
glaoeo we bare given Its p&e. Too many cases
similar to those related, have, for a series of years,
passed under the observation of the writer hereof to
doubt the life-like pictures drawn by Hr. Robinson in
the work before us ; and tho contrast presented
In looking abroad upon the low-born and Bervllo
classes that now surround us Is a great relief to the eye
aud heart. We commenced “ Hot Corn,” or the " Life
Beenes” to the Southern reader, as presenting most
faithfully drawn pictures of life in N. York among the
poor; and by which the evils of Southern Negro bon
dage^ often *o pathetically set forth, are thrown
deeply Into tl' nhade. For sale by J.M. Cooper 4 Co.,

The Thlfohassee Journal, of the 10th, publishes a
tabular statement showing tho condition of the Fi
nances of the State, prepared by tbe Comptroller,
accompanied by a statement from the Treasurer giv
ing the Items of disbursement during tho fiscal year
dosed on the 31st October. From these exhibits it
will be seen, says the Journal, that tho total amount
of revenue proper from all sources has been $57,102,-

813 38 paid on account of Indian hostilities, and to
defray the expenses of the last General Assembly.

a day or two since, has been passing a short time In

Tub Cibcl’s.—The Circus continues to attract th«

proven eminently successful, judging from tho throng
nightly in attendance. An afternoon performance
takes place to-day, doors opening at two o’clock.

P.M., a pair of valuable grey horses, attached to an
unloaded dray, backed off Messrs. Claohorn 4 Gun-

Tbe accident was said to result from tho Inexperience
of the driver having them In charge. Tboy belonged

striking disparity botween tbe numbers of persons
who neither read nor write In those State® respective

nor write, against only 40.070 In New York, which

We send you the speech made by Mr. 8tell, the President
of tbe Senate, when called upon to give the csstlni vote in
the Bird ease:
'* The position, Gentlemen, that I occupy Is an unpleasant
ono—the occasion is a tad one. Doubtless, tbe reasons
which operate upon tbe minds of Legislators are reasons of
sufficient magnltudo to justify tho vote by each respectively
given. Tlioie reasons operated In tho other branch of the
General Assombly, as well as tills. It It needless to allude
to outdoor Influences, but still it may be proper for me to
remark that It Is my good fortune never to have known the
unfortunate Individual or the decased. It ts perhaps fortu
nate that I havo mlugted but little in society in that part of
the State, whore prejudices or partialities may havo oxlstod)
I thereforefeel free from undue Influences. My course as a
Senator has beon uniformly to sustain the decision of the
eourts by my votos j never having voted for a pardon un
less facts or circumstances of an extenuating chaiaoter
had been brought to light, which wero not duly considered
on the trial. But here I am very differently situated i hero
standing, as I do, charged with the solemn responsibility of
easting the docidtng vote whore the llfo of a human being
Is suspended upon it—the House of Representatives hav
ing passed the WU for tils pardon under the solemn convic
tion of their rectitude, and Senators hero acting under
similar solemnities, in the exercise of a sound discretion
and wise Judgment, stand equally divided—In every analo
gous case within my recollection, tho vote of tho presiding
officer having been cast on the side of mercy. I, therefore,
In conformity to the established usages, cast my rote In
the affirmative. Tho bill is pnssod.’*

Tho Destruction or llnrper & 15 rot her*’ Es
tablishment.
Tho destruction or tho imtuenae publishing estab-
linhment of Mesara. Harper A; Brothers, wilt probnbly
bo felt by a greater number of persons, and over a
larger extent of country, than any similar disaster
wldnb has ever befallen any single business concern.
Over six hundred persons, with three or four tlnms-
sand dependent npon them, will bo for a time thrown
out of employmentand on immense portion of the
Uuited States whom thoy have lor so many years
supplied with hooks, will find that supply for a time
suspended. Their own loss, as tho statement in
another part of this morning’s Times will show, is
enormous—falling very little, if at all, short of a mil
lion or dollars. Tho 6atne energy and enterprise, how
ever, by which this vast establishment was originally
built up, will unquestionably suflico to restore it. Wo
understand that no delay will be lost in recommenc
ing their business, with such facilities as they may be
able to procure, and in providing whatever is neces
sary to carry it forward upon tho scale as hitherto.—
Their stereotype plates arc all saved, and the main
tiling necessary to the restoration of their principal
business, is the construction of machinery and the re-
erection of tho buildings.
There is no firm among us which can count more
certainly upon the best wishes of the nubile at large,
under such a calamity, than tho Harpers. Their

Tho Mirror of tbe 12th saysHaving Buffered
from a lire some ten years since, tho Harpers had
taken extraordinary precutlons to prevent the recur
rence of such calamity. They had a largo atenm
boiler in the cellar; no other fire was ever allowed to
be used about tbe building in any form. The gas
lights were so arranged as to bo perfectly safo. All
the buildings were heated with steam pipes, and, in
stead of tho charcoal furnaces generally used in
bindery establishment* for heating the tools,
burners had been provided to take their place.
It is necessary to clean the ink rollers used in the
Adams presses; and this can be done most effectually
by employing eamphenc. In order to render tho use
of this perfectly safe, a small room had been provided
on the third door of the lower building on Pearl-
street, adjoining the press room, so ns to be easy of
access from It. This room had beon carefully lined
with zinc. The campheno used was kept in shallow
iron pans, and the paper, rags, 4c., with which it whh
applied, of conrso were scattered about the room. It
seems that a Plumber was employed In this room on
Saturday to make somo repairs ; and In the course of
his work he had occasion to use a light. He lit an oil
lamp and threw the match into one of the camplicne
nans, supposing it to bo water. It blazed up instant
ly, burst through the partitions, aud swept with tre
mendous fury through tho entire range of bull dings.
This occurred at li o’clock; and In less than two
hours the ontlre establishment was in rains.
nemarkable Case of Supposed Petrifaction.
There arrived, within a few da vs, at the depot of
tho Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, lu this city, an ob*
loug box representatvd to contain a corpse, and It
struck us as somewhat singular 5 It weighed 550
pounds,according to the freight charges upon It. Cu
rious to know something more about this mysterious
box than tho external marks indicated, we instituted
aotno inquiries, and derived the following information
which, as wo got it from pretty good authority, wo
are inclined to consider correct until we shall receive
• bolter explanation:
The wite of a gentlemon living in Nelson connty,
in this State, died some four yean ago, end was in
terred in the usual mannor. Being a native of Wood
ford connty, Kentucky, she had requested, before her
death, to be harried beside her kindred and in
tho home of hor childhood. From accident or de
lay, her request was not complied with until quite
recently tier relations caused her remains to be
disinterred, when they were found to be flrthe extra
ordinary weight mentioned above, aver Jive hundred
jtoundt. At the time of her death her weight was
about 110 pounds. Only tbe Toot of tho coffin, which
was still in a good state of preservation, was broken
open, when her feet were found to be in a perfect
state of petrifaction, tho stone partaking of the char
acter or tbe hardest limestone formations In tbe local
ity orths grave. The inference is that tbe whole
body is thus completely petrified. The gentleman in
charge of tbe remains Is having them conveyed to
Woodford county, Kentucky, according to the request
ot tbe deceased,— Whaling Intelligencer.
9 r Fattening Hogs on Wheat.—On

20 bnsbels dsmaged wheat and killed thorn and found,

ful uniforms, and being fine looking men, of elegant

Commander Ingraham.—We learn that this gen*
tlomau’a friends have very recently applied to tho
Secretary or the Novy, to Induce him to order a com
mander to the Mediterranean to relieve Commander
Ingraham .whoso health is In suoh condition an Justly
to alarm them. Tbe application docs not coine from
him, we apprehend, though ho, too, cnncoWea that
his health requires speedy relief from hi* present du
ties. Wo take it for granted that, under the circum
stances, Secretary Dobbin will comply with the re
quest of his friends, as soon os his successor in tho
command of tho St, Louis can bo solected.
Tho Autum nnd Its Lessons.
All that is CArtbly must fade. This is an anitnal les
son taught by the tailing leaf, tho withering Treat, tho
silenco which pervndes the*air, and the wreck and
decay oTvegetation, os each recurring Autumn as
sumes hor reign. Another Autumn la npon us now.
The tassels of the corn are dead, and the husks of the
standing care havo lost their last burden. Small yel
low leaves, that havo exhausted their vitality before
the advent of tho frost, are droppingone by one (Vom
tho trees. Flower stalks, that but a few short weeks
since stood green and growing, bearing proudly up
their wealth and floral beauty, now stand stark and
dead. The intimations.of approaching dissolution
rests upon all vegetation, yet, upon these scenes, the
fruits of Autumn aro spread up on every side. Ap
ples bend from the bough, nuts wait on the trees for
tho loosening fingers of the frost, wains go creaking
homes laden with homely roots, the granaries, are al
ready tilled, and soon, housed and garnered the pro
duct of the year will await tho grateful use of ipan
and animal.
All that is earthly must fade. •• Wo all do fade
ns tho lear.” Man has his spring, his summer,
his autumn, and Ids winter. Some leaves wait not
for the frost, nnd fall early, hut we do not grow
crisp and dry with age. and wo who grow golden nnd
glorious in the frosts of time, must all alike follow
them to the earth. There arc worm-eated fruits and
blasted core-ears in the fields of humanity, ns to the
fields of vegetation. The good ones only can find a
place in the store-house of tho great husbandman.—
The lesson of the autumn bears upon and illustrates
the whole subject oi the close of human life. The
year is but a hollow farce without the fruit av the
grand result. A human life in its autumn, in which
is seen no fruit, betrays a perversion so foul that it
might make an angel weep, nnd as the angels look
down upon tho world, may they find graces which
blush like apples among the leaves, characters well
filled out nnd clean from all impurity, true wisdom
filling all the store-houses, and the seeds of an Im
mortal llfo perfected, und ready to be unfolded in
Those emlaating gardens.
Where angels walk aud aerapus are the wardens.
Mr. Thackeray and “Mr. Washington.”
Mr. Thackeray publishes tho following letter in tho
London Times, of Wednesday :
Sir Allow me a word of explanation in answer
to a strange chargu which has been brought against
mein tho united States, and which your New York
correspondent hus made public iu this couutry.
lu the first number of a periodical story which I
am now publishing, appears a sentence, in which 1
should never have thought of finding any harm, un
til it had been discovered by some critics over the wa
ter. The fatal words are these—
‘ When pigtails grew on tho backs of the Britbish
gentry, and their wives wore cushions on their heads,
over which they tied their own huir. and disguised it
with powder aud pomatum ; when Ministers went in
their stare and orders to the House of Commons, and
the orators of tho Opposition attacked nightly the
noble lord in the blue ribband ; when Mr. Washing
ton was heading the rebels, with a courage, It must
be confessed, worthy ol a better cause,—there came
to Loudon, out of a northern country. Mr.,” 4c.
This paragraph has been interpreted in America as
1 insult to Washington nnd tile whole Union ; and,
rrom ttio radnens a«<i 8r„vitj>. with whicjivmir cor
respondent quotes certain of my words, Tt is avtaenv
he, too, thinks they have an iusolcut and mulicious
meaning.
Having published the American critic’s comment,
permit the author of a faulty sentence to Bay what ho
did mean, aud to add the obvious moral of tho apo
logue, which has been so oddly constructed. I am
speaking of a young apprentice comiugup to London
between the years 1770-SO, and want to depict a few
figures of the last century. (Tho illustrated h?ad-
letter of the chapter was intended to represent Ho
garth’s industrious apprentice.) I fancy tho old so
ciety with its hoops aud powder—Barre or Fox thun
dering at Lord North asleep on tne Trensury-bcnch—
the news readers ut the coffee-rooms talking over the
paper, and owning that this Mr. Washington, who
was leading the rebels, was a very courageous soldier,
nnd worthy of a batter cause thun fighting against
King George. Tho images are at least natural, and
pretty consecutive. 1776—the people in London in
’76—tho Lords and House of Commons in ’76—Lord
North—'Washington—what the people thought about
Washington.—I ani thinking about '76. Where, iu
the name of common sense, is the insult to 1853?
The satire, if satire there be, applies to us at home,
who eslted Washington “Mr. Washington,” as we
palled FredcncK tinFtirout •• tho Protestant Hero,”
or Napoleon •• tho Corsican tyrant," or •• ueuurui
Uoimporte.” Need I say that our officers were in
structed (until they were taught better manners) to
call Washington “ Mr. Washington,” aud that the
Americans were called rebels during the whole of
that contest? Rebels!—or course they were rebels ;
nnd I should like to know what native American
would not have been a rebel in that cause?
As irony is dangerous, and has hurt the feelings of
kind friends whom I would uot wish tooflend, let me
say, in perfect fnith and gravity, that 1 think the
cause for which Washington fought entirely just nnd
right, nnd the champion the very noblest, purest,
bravest, best of God’s men.
I am, sir,your very faithful servant,
Athcnrcum, Nov. 2*2. \V. M. Thackeray.
Turk’s Island Salt.—Mr. JII. Bcrrett, Vice-Con-
sul of the Uuited States at Turks Maud, asserts that
the statements of there being au unusual scarcity of
salt at that place are entirely without Inundation. He
says that when he left the Island, on the 2d Novem
ber last, there was not less than 300,000 bushels of
salt of.tlio finest quality on tho island. As this is the
principal article of export from that place, it may be
important to the mercantile community to make this
correction.
Mortality.—The wbolo number of deaths in this
city, last week, was 375. Nino of them were caused
by cholera. The cholira victims were mostly immi
