The horrible feelings produced by com- P '.e abstinence have been lately recorded in a number of HufelaiuPs Journal der f Practischen tleilkunde. The substance of v the case is as follows :—A German mer- S chant, aged 32, depressed by severe rever ses of fortune, and the consequent slights of his relatives, formed the resolution of' destroying himself by abstinence. VYilh this view he repaired, on the 15th Septem ber, 1818, to an unfrequented wood, where he constructed a hut of boughs, and remain ed without food till the 3d ot October fol ' lowing. At this period lie was found by the landlord of a neighbouring pot-house,J still alive, but very feeble, speecliless and| insensible. Broth, with the yolk ofamgg, was given him. He swallowed it with dif ficulty, and died immediately. In the pocket of the unfortunate man was found a journal, written in pencil sin gular in its kind, and remarkable as a nar t' Tative of his feelings and sentiments. It begins thus :—“ The generous philanthro pist, who shall otic day find me here after my death, is requested to inter me ; and in consideration of this service, to keep my clothes, purse, knife, and letter case. 1 moreover observe, that I am no suicide, but have died of hunger, because, through wick ed men, I have lust the jvhole of my very considerable property, and am unwilling to become a burthen to my friends.’? Fhe en suing remark is dated September the 17th, the second day of abstinence ; —“ I yet live; but how have I been soaked during the night, and how cold it has been ! Oh God ! when will my sufferings terminate! ! No human being has for three days been seen here : only some birds.” The next extract continues—“ And again, three days, and I have been so soaked during the night, thqt my clothes to-day are not dry. How hard is this, no one knows : and my last hour must soon arrive. Doubtless, during the neavy rain, ;i little water has got into my throat ; but the thirst is not to be slak ed with water ; moreover, I have had none even of this for six days, since I am no longer able to move from the place. Yes terday, for the first time during the eternity which, alas ! I hare already passed here, a man approached me within the distance of eight or ten paces. He was certainly a shepherd. 1 him in silence ; and he returned it in the same manner. Proba bly he will find me after my death ! “ Finally, 1 here protest, before the all wise God, that, -notwithstanding all the misfortunes which I have suffered from my (youth, I yet die very unwillingly ; although necessity has imperiously driven me to it. Nevertheless I pray for it. Father, forgive him; for he knows not what he does! More can I not write, for faintness and spasms , and this will be the last.

The rapid advance of our great staple, 1 mentioned in our last, has produced great excitement in this market. The mercan- ' tile public is now anxiously looking for fur ther accounts from Europe ; and till they arrive, we ean expect nothing decisive in regard to Cotton. Speculations have been* extensive ; and such an eagerness has been I, felt to invest as much as possible, Ljefore!] ifurther accounts, that the cash in market has been wonderfully reduced. At pre- ' sent, there is an almost unexampled scar-i* city of money. Cotton purchasers hold on' to their investments, and though prices do not materially fall, there have been lew ac- j tual sales for a day or two. We sincerely; 1 hope our friends in the market may have yet better accounts ; and that their pros-', pects of a gulden harvest, so brilliant a . week since, may not be disappointed. —aOtt- The Right Rev. Dr. England has paid us another visit, partly with a view, as wet understand, to examine the Seminary, es tablished here under his auspices. Phis iti faut institution is, we believe, in a promis ing state. The examination of the pupils is said to have been creditable to them and their teachers; and the public exhibition, at the Catholic Church, on Wednesday even ing. was highly gratifying to a crowded au idience. The result of the examination was |declaret| by the Bishop, who gave honorary certificates to such young gentlemen as had distinguished themselves. The principal exercise of the evening was a forensic dis pute, on the comparative advantages of a monarchical and a republican form of go vernment. The disputants did themselves ,great credit, and their addresses were re ceived with frequent hurs s of appl iuse. We hope that Bishop England’s next visit will be a longer one, and that we may then have abetter opportunity of listening to his kindling eloquence, than was now af forded us. A series of numbers has appeared in the Savannah Georgian, on the subject of land lotteries, at which we lately hinted. We are glad to see able pens engaged against 1 this most injudicious appropriation of public ‘ property ; and we hope the public mind will ' be prepared, by the efforts of a free press, | and the exertions of independent, influenti ral men, to alter it. At present, we decline : saying more, than to refer our readers to : the Georgian. Wo may, hereafter, resume the subject. ' The official report from the Topograplu cal Bureau of the U. S. by J, Eoberdeau of , the Engineer. Department, on the 10th Jan uary last makes the quantity of land in this • state, not ceded to the U. States by Indians, as nearly as could be computed from a re- I view of former calculations nd the possess ion of more correct documents than had pre viously been referred to, nine million five hundred and thirty-seven thousand nine hun , dred and twenty square acres, of which , 5,292,160 were m possession of the Chero , kees and 4,245,760 of the Creeks. The Cherokee country yet to be ceded to Georgia [ is consequently more extensive than theim i portant territory lately acquired from the j Creeks, but it i$ perhaps less valuable, as I much, ol the former is mountains and not , adapted to the production of cotton. Milledgeville Recorder. The pole boat Eclipse, on her passage i from Milledgeville to Darien,when off Plu m mer’s Landing, took fire, a few days since, -by which a considerable quanity of Cotton 1 was destroyed. There were, it is said, 431 • bags on board, about 200 of which were consumed or much injured. About g6OOO was insured. It is said that the fire com menced at top, and that the boat and the Cotton lowest down were not injured. The quantity totally consumed is said to be a ’ bout ninety bales. [.Saw. Georgian. The waters of Augustine Creek, about ‘ 9i miles from Savannah, on the Augusta road, have risen to such a height in conse . quence of the late rains, as to render the bridge now under repair, impassible. The passage can be made by turning off at the nine mile stone, and again entering (he road at the ten, or vice versa . [Jbid. Charleston, April IS. I lie Pilot Boats Caroline and Cora, have been despatched to the West-Indies from this port, for purposes of speculation in Su gar and Coftee. A number of fast sailing vessels have al so been sent out from Baltimore for the W. Indies on the same purpose ; as high as g 25 were offered .for seamen in that place. Six expresses were dispatched from Sa vannah for Augusta and the West, when* Jthe news _ol tint late rise in the Liverpool* Market was known ; some for the purpose of speculating in Cotton, and others to make the news public. A letter from Havre of the slh March, by (he Cadmus at New-York, says Cotton has risen at that place in consequence of a Liverpool House buying up nearly one half of the stock on hand (5000 bales on speculation.—Prices were, Georgia 29 a 32 sous, Louisiana 34 a 36, Tennessee and Mobile 29 a 32. The last Western Mail brings usanac- Icount of the death of the Hon. Return Jona [than Meigs, lute Post-Master General of the United States, a firm and consistent ! patriot, and an upright and honorable man. He has, in his life, filled many trusts of high responsibility, such as Delegate to [Congress, Judge of the United Stales, Gov ernor of the State of Ohio in the arduous period of the (ate war, and Senator of the United States from that State. It not a great man, he was a truly good and estlina ible one. He died at Marietta, on the morn ling of the 29th of March, j On the evening of the cjay preceding, (lied, at Clai*|iurg, Va. Hon. John G. Jackson, son-m-law of Governor Meigs, at the time of his death District Judge of the United States for the Western District of Virginia. The simultaneousness of the death of these gentlemen, so nearly con nected, has something in it very remarka ble. Gov. Jackson has occupied impor tant stations in life ; and we shall avail' ourselves of an article in the Clarksburg pa per. more particularly to notice them. He was in the 48th year of his age, and has left a wife and several children to mourn [their loss, [..Vaf. Inf. ~ ATTENTION!
