True, but cannot he make many of those articles which he now purchases"with cash 1 the production of which, would be more profitable than raising cotton at five or six cents per pound. He now makes mord cotton than can be consumed and at a loosing price ; and he buys every thing but cotton. .* ' Is it not apparent, that he is pursuing a ruinous policy ?

The Rochester Telegraph says there is no longer reason to hope for her safety. All on board must have perish ed. The passengers were a lady from Os wego, her two children, sister, and father. The crew consisted of Captain JohnRogers, and three hands. Long Speeches — Mr. Jefferson has said, li I consider the speeches of Livy, Sallust, and Tacitus s pre-eminent specimens of logic, taste, and that sententious brevity which using not a word to spare* leaves not a moment for inattention to the hearer. Am plification is the jwee of modern oratory. It is an insult to an assembjy^pf reasonable men, disgusting and revoltirfg^nstead of per suading. Speeches measured by the hour, die with the hour” These words should be written in letters of gold, and placed over the Speaker’s chair in every Legislative body in the country. Dredging Machine.—Judge Wright, the Civil Engineer of New-.York in a letter upon the subject ofrimprovrtig the navigation of the North River, near Albany, mentipns the following machine, which should any thing of the kind bo-necessary in improving the navigation of the Savannah, might* on pro per .examination, perhaps, be considered worthy of adoption. “ The Directors of the Chesapeake and Delaware Caned have lately built a dredging machine, which is moved by an eight horse power steam engine. It is made with ma chinery on both sides, s<f as to have both worked at the same time, if neccessary. It has been used bat little—but from that lit tle I can say that with good management, it can take up wfifi l^e .two sides 100 cubic yardsjbf eafth in 8 or 10 feet water, and de posit it in boats along side, in one hour. * I have believed that a good dredging machine would, in. two or three months, cut a passage through ^tlie Overslough shoal of 90 to 100 feet depth in water.”-—Georgian. In consequence of the fire which took place in Division-street on Wednesday, the keeper 5f the menagerie in the Bowery, be tween the former street and Bayard, was ob liged to remove his live Stock, pro tem. elsewhere.

The subordi nate quadrupeds could not, of course, but em ulate so striking a pattern of good behaviour: and the whole business was done with a fa r cility, and a safety to the people around, which were rather to have been hoped than anticipated.—JV*.

The A letter received from a friend this morn ing, touching newspaper affairs, after refer- ing to s previous letter which the writer supposes might have fallen into evil hands, contains the Toll owing humorous admonition to all whom it might concern :—0^*To any “ rascally postmaster,” or the deputy of any such, who may have opened this letter with the hope of a little pitiful plunder:—You see, sir knave, that you are disappointed ! Now I advise you, for once, to do an hon est deed. Seal this up again with all due care, and forward it on by the next mail. What, sir ! don’t you see what a world of vexation you will be guilty of creating by detaining this! Shame on your knavery! never broach a letter again without being sure of your mark. But of all things never break the seal of a letter addressed to an Editor. Why, villian—instead of a bank note, you may stumble upon great secrets, on their way to be published; or may rob the printer and the world of some learned and laborious essay, worth more than a re mittance for ten years arrearages ! If you find money be assured it will riot be enough to pay you for one hour’s pricking of a guil- ty^conscience. Besides—the meanness of robbing; 8 printer!!—He that will do this should have some unheard-of-punishment contrived to equal the enormity of the crime. The poor fellows have trouble enough in all conscience, without having the very spoons overset in their way to their gaping mouths! Go to, man; repent and be honest; or if you must plunder, rob letters of the brokers and lottery dealers. The act will savour more of just retribution. Again I say- touch not the sacred seal of a Printer!—ib.

Messrs. Editors,—Allow me a comer of your paper, and li I also will shew my opinion” on the Tariff. 1st. I believe that it is in a great measure owing to Domestic Manufactures that goods are at this time so low in this country, ancf that they are lower by 25 per cent, than they would be if we had no large, factories. If any one doubts it, let him reflect on the very low price of satiuetts, calicoes; sKirt- ings, &c. occasioned, undoubtedly, by ddp^-*^ mestic competition. 2d. I believe trade will be increased ten^ fold, as far as relates to woollen goods, by the passage ofthe bjll now before the U. 8- Senate. Does any one doubt that a great increase of business must be occasioned.by raising, transporting, carding, spinning ,and preparing the wool, and making it into cloth, together with all the necessary materials connected with the manufacture of the ar ticle ? 1 say, does any one doubt that this will make a great increase of business T and does any merchant believe that his trade in selling will be less, because the goods may ' be manufactured in our own, instead of a foreign country'! Instead Of ten, it would not be extravagant to say, business would be increased One hundred fold. 3d. Of all classes of our countrymen, I believe our brethren of the Southern states have the least reason to complain of the, new duties as proposed by the bill under consideration. Do you ask the proof?-—I answer that it is well known to all who are acquainted with the course of trade in the South, that their wants require but a very small proportion of goods of the middl qualities, such as are principally “ this bill. It is known that quire goods prin coarsest quality the four irilf are not at all Which come will be made ^ consequently,^lijby wiU s«*rcely be affected Lastly. While I am Writing {and, by the bye, it is qui(e a thing with me to write for a newspaper) a$& that we merchants have lo contain of;; of quite as much consequence to tie as tho success of domostic.mriBufactures; I allude to the evils growing out of the auction monopoly, the continuance of which, I con sider a standing reproach to the rulers of our country. The effect of these evils is, that we American merchants have to stand back and see nearly all Foreign goods im ported by foreigners—British goods by Bri tish men, Scotch goods by Scotch men* Irish linens by Irish men, French goods by French men, and so on through the whole catalogue, with the exception of China goods; and how long it may be before the Chinese will also come in for their share and push us still further back, the Lord only knows. A MERCHANT. J ST;. Mr. Mathias Snyder, in an advertisement, offered to, construct such an automation as Maelzel is at present exhibiting.. To this the latter replies*:—“I am somewhat incli ned to. think yjornfeasoiilike the vulgar and uninformed mechanics, who imagine' all thingsj^be easy until they have attempted their copstructkm! The ingenious and the learned have admired the machine which can articulate sounds. I cannot say the same of the ignorant. As you offer largely, you may perhaps accomplish small things. I will not ask you to construct such a ma chine as my trumpeter, but to make the smallest and least difficult of all my mechan ical contrivances. If you will make a puppet of any size whatever, which will say mama and papa as distinctly as mine, in the course of one month from this day, a thing which I can do in three days. I will give you $500 for it. If you cannot do this, you will permit me to consider you a mere boas ter. If you accomplish it I shall beg pardon of the public for exhibiting as a curiosity, what is so easily obtained. I profess to exhibit what is not to be found in the world, except in my possession, and of my inven tion, and I now offer you a good price for the trouble of undeceiving me, if it is in your power.” [By an answer on the part of Mr. Sny der, it appears he has accepted the banter.] It is a circumstance of rather curious co incidence, that, on the same day of Iasi week, the popular branches of the Legis- tures of the States of Virginia and Mary land should each have been engaged in ex pelling one of their members; for tbe^ same cause, and that the vote against the expul sion should, in each case, have been just two, against the otherwise unanimous vote of the two Houses. The ground of' expul sion was that the expelled members were Ministers of the Gospel, who are, by the Constitution of each State, disqualified from being members of the- Legislature.

A society has been formed in the No..... under the name of the American Society for the promotion of Temperance. Seven thou sand dollars have been subscribed in Boston for the object, which is specially “ to per suade the sober part of the community to continue sober by avoiding entirely the use of intoxicating liquors.”—Drunkards, \ye presume, are deemed irreclaimable. A duel was fought at New-Orleans on the 4th February. The parties were Mr. Pay- son and Mr. Stagdon. The latter was kil led on the first fire; the former it is stated had fought a few days previous.
