think this a more interesting number than
any we have seen. It is late in making its
appearance ; but this is caused by circum

number, the work shall appear promptly on
the first of each month. After an exam

The July number of this monthly is also
on our table. It again comes to hand with
out an engraving; but we have no doubt
thepatronsofthe work will excuse this trifling
omission, as the “Topographical Sketch”
which was prepared to accompany it is pub
lished. We give the editor’s excuse for the
omission :
“in our last we promised a Plate in this number, and
we did so bona fide, nothing doubling that we should
redeem the promise; and it is wiih deep regret and
mortification that we fail to do so; of the cause of which
failure we have a few words to say.
“ When the first plate was published we made a con*
tract with our Engravers for a second plate in June,
and in May remitted one third of the stipulated price,
promising to remit the remainder before the delivery of
•he plate —which was to be on the 25th ultimo. After
the issue of our June number, and just as we were on
the eve of sending the. final remittance, we received
word from the Engravers that nothing had been done
‘0 the plate, because the whole amount was not then
received!!
“We were taken by surprise, but it was then too
late to remedy the evil, and in consequence we have
no plate ready, although we have published the Typo
graphical Sketch which was prepared to accompany
it; and wc are compelled also to announce that no
other plate can be issued in this volume, as it is entirely
<oo late to make anew contract nnd have any work
faithfully executed in season.”
So soon as we can find time to peruse the
number before us, wc will give our opinion
of its contents.

TITLES.
No people in the world boast so much of
their equality as Americans; and yet, iu no
other country is there half the struggle for
social distinction, or half the envy and dis
trust existing between the high and low.
For with all our vaunted equality, we have
extremes in the grades of distinction which
divide the multitude as widely from each
other, as in other countries the noble is se
parated from the plebian. It is true vve
have no standing titled orders, guarded by
the factitious aid of government, whose
honors, irrespective of merit, descend to a
lineage of blood made noble by the “divine
right of kirfgs.” We have no crowns or
coronets, or stars or garters —and the path
to wealth and honor is perhaps as equally
open to all, as in this age of the world is
practicable; still we have an aristocracy,
and of course the inferior orders, until we
come to the off-cast, who is courted before
election, and afterwards kicked aside, until
on a similar occasion; he is reinstated as one
of the “sovereignty.” But however much
a man may pride himself upon his elevation,
the son of his obscure neighbor, will, in all
probability, by personal energy and merit,
attain a rank from which he will look down
upon those who inherit his own name.
Wealth and fame must in our country, be
earned to be kept; and it is because personal
exertion will secure those objects of life,
which are so dearly prized, that we are all
so eager in their pursuit. This republican
(?) passion for distinction, is no where, except
in a desire for wealth, seen so plainly, as in
our fondness of titles : republican titles, of
course, such as among equals raise one above
another. We have multiplied these marks
of distinction, until Colonels, Majors and
’Squires are as thick as fleas in Florida, and
every aspiring youth who has arrived at the
dignity of Mister, calls on the ladies, and
owns a razor, considers himself the lawful
expectant of one of these titles—at least
Squire, and perhaps Colonel. But of all
the prefixes which it is the misfortune of a
man to have fastened to his name, we con
sider ‘Squire, the most perfect mockery;
and, speaking phrenologically, we should
say that a man who is ambitious of this title,
must have “ love of approbation very large,”
and a most frightful “ depression” in the
region of “ common sense.” Occasionally,
perhaps, we may meet with an embryo law
yer with less brains than vanity, who having
read a few pages of “ Blackstone,” and at
tended Court once br twice as a “ student
of Law,” feels somewhat inflated on having
his titular honor acknowledged by his ac
quaintances as they accost him; but with
these exceptions, this is a distinction, which
human ambition, grovelling as it is, will
scarcely stoop to attain. Such, however, is
the rage for titles that a man who pretends
to a decent character, and does not receive
this title, especially on being addressed by
letter, is as great an anomaly as a dog with
out a tail. Os a “ Georgia Major” we hard
ly know what to say. He is certainly a ve
ry notorious personage, and his notoriety
we consider quite unenviable. The “ Pica
yune” has said, with more wit than truth,
and not much of either, that in Georgia if
a man kills a rattlesnake the exploit secures
him a title of Major, and if he kills a thou
sand, he becomes a General; but the mis
fortune is, that all the applicant has to do in
many cases, is, to signify’ his willingness to
receive the title, and it is conferred viva
voce. We have more honorary Majors than
there are who hold commissions. These
military dignitaries have been so much the
subject of comment in different parts of the
Union, and the source of so much merri
ment, that from a respect we have for our
State, we refrain from any further remark.
Colonels are of some higher dignity. On
parade, he is frequently the highest officer
who is seen in his “ regimentals.” He has
the command and speaks the word of author
ity. He is the “ lion” of the muster-day.
When we hear a stranger addressed as
Colonel, we conclude he is a man of at least
some respectability, and we are apt to ap
proach him with more deference than if he
had been addressed as plain Mister. We
also usually find those gentlemen who have
obtained this title by common consent, with
out having held the office, possessed of dig
nified mien and established reputation. A
lady whose husband has this title, is ad
dressed as Mrs. Colonel A., or Mrs. Colonel
8., and we believe the ladies consider it as
a compliment, and are pleased with it; but
should a lady whose husband glories in the
title of ’Squire, or Major, be addressed as
Mrs, ’Squire A., or Mrs. Major 8., the re
sult would be a call from her husband for an
“ explanation.” This, wc consider conclu
sive ou the subject of the higher dignity of
Colonel; but the abundance of any thing
diminishes its value, and we have altogether
too thick a sprinkling of Colonels in Geor
gia, for them to sustain tbeirdignity. Their
title passers with great currency, but still is
very much depreciated
We have some other thoughts on the sub
ject of titles which we will offer at a future
time.

London, July sth, 1342.
Rumors are rife in London of dissensions
amongthe Conservative party, and that there
is even a serious difference of opinion in the
Cabinet arising out of the Poor Law Bill,
and certain of Sir Robert’s propositions in
the House of Commons.
A serious breach is reported to exist be
tween the right honorable baronet at the
head of the government, and the noble lord
who presides over the Colonial department.
This has been more than suspected for some
time ; and recent circumstances seem to il
lustrate and strengthen the fact of its exis
tence. The manner in which Lord Stan
ley Was put down by Sir Robert Peel in the
House of Commons, in the act of rising to
speak on an important question, with his
papers arranged, and his notes prepared for
a set speech, made a strong impression on
the House. The Premier was of course
submitted to : but the effect upon the Colo
nial Secretary was manifest. The indignity
was too marked to be forgotten or forgiven.
The British Parliament is at present oc
cupied with a discussion on the appalling
and increasing distress throughout the coun

for going into a committee of supply, a series
of resolutions to the effect that parliament
should not be prorogued without an inquiry
being instituted as to the extent of the dis

relief.
Latest accounts from Batavia speak in

and entirely destroying some of the finest

Some insurrectionary movements at Fi

The south and west of Franco had suffer
ed much from extreme drought. At the
last accounts, one or two mild rains, extend
ing over most of the parched districts, had
served to allay the fears of the inhabitants of
the total annihilation of the crops; but the
injury done was in a measure past remedy,
and want and deptivation must of course be
felt by the poorer classes.
The tribunal of Bilboa bad passed judg
ment on several iudividuals concerned in

Pardon so Francis—Another attach up
on the Queen. —The couvict Francis, who
fired at the Queen, has been reprieved.
There does exist a doubt that the pistol was
loaded with a destructive substance. He
still asset ts that he had not intended to in
jure her Majesty, but did it with a view to
get provided with a home for life similar to
that of Oxford. He will be transpoited for
life to a penal settlement.
The announcement of his reprieve bad
scarcely been made known wheti the public
were alarmed by a report that another and
exactly similar attempt had been made up
on her- Majesty’s life. The details are al
most too farcical for notice. It appears that
as the royal cortege was returning on Sun
day from the Chapel Royal, in St. James’
to Buckingham’s Palace, a deformed youth
presented and snapped an old rusty pistol
at the carriage in which her Majesty was
seated. He was seized by another youth
who wrested the weapon from his hand, but
the policeman in attendance refused to take
him in charge, believing it to be a hoax, on
which he was permitted to escape. He was
apprehended m the course of the day, when
it was discovered that he had recently and
repeatedly been heard to say that he ad
mired the conduct of Francis, and regretted
that he had not succeeded in his attempt;
that Francis was a brave fellow, and he
wished he had been in Francis’s place, for
he would do for the Queen; that he had a
prime air-gun and pistol, and he would use
them in the same cause. The pistol had an
old flint, lock with a screw and rifle barrel.
Upon detaching the barrel, which was done
with some difficulty, from the screw having
become exceedingly rusty, owing to its long
disuse, there were found in it a portion of
very coarse powder, a piece of tobacco-pipe,
and some paper wadding. His motive is
supposed to be the same as that of Francis.
The Overland Mail—lndia and China. —
The Indian mail arrived at Marseilleson the
29th of June. The following telegraphic
despatch reached London on Friday:—Gen
eral Pollock bad joined Sir It. Sale at Jel
lalabad, re-establishing on his march the
authority of Thomas Khan Sullpoora. He
was to march on Cabul as soon as he was
joined by Colonel Boulton. General Eng
land had re-united troops, forced the passes
and joined General Nott at Candahar. Cap
tain M’Kenzie had arrived at Jellalabad,
with offers from Akbar Khan, release his
prisoners on conditions. The answer was
not known. General Elphiustone died on
the 23d of April.
The accounts from China arc interesting.
On the 18th of March, the Chinese, 10,000
or 12,000 strong, tried to retake Ningpo,
while another force attacked Chiughae. In
both instances they were repulsed with con
siderable los3.
It was remarked that all the Chinese sol
diers left dead at Ningpo and Chiughae had
a few dollars about them. It is supposed
from this that a gratuity was issued to them
immediately before they attacked the city,
in order to induce them to advance. It is
said that the Emperor has ordered that the
provinces which are the seat of war shall
defray the whole of its expenses. We may
conclude, therefore, that the Cabinet of Pe
kin do not conceive it necessary to make a
great national effort against their foes. The
inhabitants of the invaded provinces are
naturally disinclined to bear the whole
of the heavy pecuniary charges ne
cessary for carrying on hostilities. The
consequence is that the Chinese army to the
south of the Hangchow river is in want of
pay and destitute of supplies, from which
cause the troops were in such a state of in
subordination that it was expected they
would shortly disband themselves.
The death of Shah Sonjah, is nlso con
firmed; he fell by the baud of ZemaunKhan,
brother of Dost Hohammed. The most
satisfactory intelligence had been received
of the Cabul prisoners. Capt. M’Kensie,
one of their number had been permitted by
Akhbur Khan to visit the camp at Jelalla
bad on parole, as the bearer of despatches
from Major Potlinger, and to treat for the
ransom of his companions. He brought
news of the death of Gen. Elphinstone on
the 23d of April. The other prisoners were
doing well, and had been treated with kind
ness. An enormous sum is demanded for
their ransom.
Sir Henry Potlinger continued at Macao.
The destruction of the garrison Ghuznee
is confirmed. Colonel Palmer left the cita
del on the 26th of March, and took up his
quarters in a portion of the town. There,
as in the case of Cabul, the Ghaznces, ap
parently without orders, attacked the troops,
and a frightful slaughter ensued. The lead
er of the insurgents, Shumshoodeen, inter
fered, and took the officers under his pro
tection, and they are described as now liv
ing as prisoners in the citadel. About 100
only of the Sepoys are supposed to have es
caped.
A letter from Bombay states that all the
British prisoners taken at Ghuznee had
been put to the sword. Other letters of a
later date, however make no mention of the
circumstance.
Hungary.— The Augsburg Gazette states
that on the 9th of June a disturbance of a
serious nature broke out in the city of Pesth,
in Hungary, occasioned by the discontent of
the journeymen tailors respecting a differ
ence with their masters of the corporation
in the matter of a savings’ bank. Sixteen
hundred of these men refused to work, and
marched in a body out of the town. Some
cavplry was sent against them, and forty
were brought in as prisoners. Immediately
an attempt at rescue was made by the jour
neymen and populace. The town house,
which contains the prison, was attacked-*-its
windows demolished—and the lights in the
streets destroyed. The military were oblig
ed to act, and many were wounded on both
sides. The next day 3,000 shoemakers had
threatened to join the tailors, and much ap
prehension was entertained for the tranquili
ty of the town.
The riots continued on thellfb, and were
only appeased by the magistrates consent
ing to the release of the prisoners, except
ing three, however. According to the Lcip
sic Gazette, about thirty persons have been
maimed or wounded in this disturbance.
