Mercantile Character.— We have been fa vored with a copy of the lecture delivered before the Mercantile Library Company of Philadelphia, on the Ist of November last,by lire Hon.

We regret that our limits prevent us from giving more than the fol lowing.— Pkif. f»(j. “ The commercial class, without attempting s more precise de-cription, may be said to include all those who stand between the producer and the con sumer, and in any way aid in the circulation and exchanges of mankind. What a large class it is ! How great a space it occupies! What an influence it has upon our social condition, and upon the mo ral lone of the community ! From the smallest establishment in the interior, where an assortmenl is kept of every kind of ware, seemingly the most incongruous—foreign and domestic, for health and for sickness, for the animal and intellectual nature —food, raiment, books, medicine, and all other commodities likely to he wanted at this the lasi *tvge of distribution, and where, too, com tierce it still in its e ementary state, being carried on in pan by barter) from this little country bazar, up to th< t, atore louses of the great shipping merchant, aod >* * be officer of the money operator*, where the large concerns of rade are managed, through all the in l*» termediate stages, what a quantity the ;e is of ma chinery, and what an amount of human agency, in t, '-essantlyat work * it pervades all society ;it is ie t)>e overpowering employment; it meets you every m where—on the land and on the water. The lofty ’j spar and the white sail, soliciting the impulsive ie power of the wind, the slow-moving boat, the ra pid steamer, with its columns of dark smoke span gled with stars of lire, the lumbering wagon, and the flying car—these, and thousands besides, arc the implements of commerce, perpetually in mo tion, and making ti e civilize I world voi al with their mighty din. And who, and what, are the hu e man agents engaged in this pervading employment* e They are our countrymen, our fel.ow-citizens, our fathers, brothers, sons—nay, our sisters and our n daughters, too; for females, whom chiistian civili ■ zation every where exalts, lind becoming and lit * occupation in many ofits multifarious departments. * Merchants are spread over the land They stand especial!; on the margin of the ocean, and reaching ' eut their hands to distant regions, form the chief connecting link with other nations and people; so that whi eby their weight, their numbers, and the wealth they manage, they powerfully influence so ciety at home they in a great ineasuie stamp the 1 impression of its ciia acter abroad. Are they just, faithful, true to their eng igements, obedient to the principle of sound morality, prudent, industrious, m a word, wise in true wisdom, which teaches to seek lawful ends by lawful and honorable means, and to spurn ail others, however tempting; arc they such, they give a good name to their country and to their city, and impart the f agiancc of their well -1 earned reputation to all around them. The veiy air seems perfumed by their virtue Should they, unhappily, be the reverse of a.I this—faith ess, heedless, rash, eager in the pursuit oi gain; and le gardless of the methods of reaching it, they dishon- I or and disgrace their neighborhood, and shed upon it the odium of their own misconduct. Nor will such misconduct fail to poison and corrupt the com munity they live in. Dishonesty and tiick in the commercial class must lead to dishonesty and trick in those who deal with them. If the sci er employ s rata gem and art to deceive the buyer, the buyer will ipsort to stratagem and art in self-defence, un til at length the point of honour will be who can most successfully deceive and cheat his neighbour ” From the New Orleans Aum of the 7th.

Literary Messenger. T. W. White, respectfully informs the patrons of the “ Southern Literary Messenger,” and the public generally, that the issue of the next So. of that periodical is necessarily delayed beyond the usual time of publication. The recent holidays, and a damage which has occurred to the press on which the Lessengei is struck oif, have retarded the business of his office. He wou d further men tion that the publishing of an important essay up on the‘’Rights of the Slaveholding States, and the 1 owners of slave property, under die Constitution E of the L’nited Mates,” from the pen of Cunw’ay j Robinson, Esq., of this city, has also postponed the appearance of the Messenger. He believes, how- i ever, that the value and inleiest of this paper will fully a one for the delay, being anxious to pre- i sent the whole essay at the same time to the pub- | lie, and aware that the issue of his periodical would be late for the month of January, he has concluded to publish the January and February numbers to gether His patrons will, therefore, receive a double number, or the numbers for two months un der one cover The putilisher flatters himself, that both in typographical and literary excel dice, the two coming numbers will equal, if not exceed, any that he has ever given to the public, besides the important essay already mentioned, and which possesses such a peculiar interest at the present time, they will contain a notice of the recent at tack unon Dr. obanning in the (-Edinburgh Review, from the pen of a Baltimore in. A second paper upon the Smi’lisoninn Institute. San Marino, from the pen of 11. T. Tuckerm m, Esq.; The Worthies of V irginia; Gleanings from New England History; Rights of Authors; Moral and Mental Portraits, No. 1, being a notice of Wil iam Cullen Bryant; Isabelle de Ca'tios,a talc of Spanish Romance; a humorous story, entitled Airs. Shooter’s Party; a sketch of the character of Cord Byron; An Inci dent of the War ol 1812-M4—a true stop ; Simm’s Early Lays, No. II; Bcminiscemes of the British at Hollingbrook; Homines Apud Infernos; a poeti cal article, entitled Imri, or the Bride of the Fallen Star; and an elaborate and critical notice of Mur ray’s Travels, from the pen of an accomplished scholar; intere-ting Sketch of Canova, translated from the Italian, by M. Morgan, M. D., Surgeon U. S. Navy. Besides several notices of new publica tions. He trusts that this will furnish a satisfactory apology for his delay; and that the next volume of the Messenger will rontinuc to warrant the patro nage and commendation which have been hereto fore kindly bestowed upon it. T. W. W. calculates to issue this double number of the Messenger on or before the Ist day of Feb ruary. Uichmo id, Va., January 10, 1840. A Parson’s Story.

But let n ’thing, except being bed-rid den, prevent you from exercising thatinestimable privilege, the elective franchise. Never disgrace yourself by an absence from the polls, under the unjustifiable, fallacious plea, that your single vote is oi no consequence. Some of the most impor tant measures of legislative bodies, here and else where, have been carried by majorities of one, two, or three. The vote on the abdication of James 11, and the elevation of William and Maiy to the throne of Great Britain, was carried by a majority of two— -51 to 49! ! Let this be an unceasing warning to \ou of the importance of a vote or two. Never have to reproach yourself, that a profligate man has been elected or u bad measure adopted through your absence from this sacred duty. Consignees per South Carolina Kail Komi.

Carolina. as a ‘ full feathered democrat.’ His evidence, therefore I against the party in power cannot he controvert ed- Three years ago, he thus spoke of it on the floor of Congress: “Sir," said Mr. Pickens, “sycophancy and ser r- vilify have taken the place of all the heroic and manly virtues. The rooks, together with obscene . b rds, have peeked themselves in the high placss of the land, and we sit here beneath surrounded daily with their filth and corruption.” “This gentleman.” [Mr. Cambreleng] said Mr. Pickens, -‘has said this nation had been convert ed into a great gambling house. He asked, who had brought it to this condition ? The party now in power—a "Her. a more degraded, a more , corrupt set of WRETCHES never lived. The contempt of all pledges, man-worshipping, office seeking. &c. had wrought a distinct change in the principles of this gentleman.” MARRIED, On the 15th inst., at the residence of Jesse P. Green.

In our report of Saturday morning lust, we stated that the Cotton market exhibited a drooping appear ance at the time our inquiries teimmated on the evening previous, but the transactions of that day, which amounted to about 30- 0 bales,did not show any further material change in prices. By Sunday’s mail we were put in possession of advices from Liverpool to the 2 d, and from Havre to the 17th November, brought to New fork by the packet ship South America. 'I he transactions in Cotton at Liverpool so a few days subsequent to the 16th, (the date of our former advices,) are repotted as having been rather extensive, with an improvement of $ to sd. per lb.; but afterwards, the demand having considerably subsided, prices went back to their former po-ition—say 7$ a 7 jd. for fair. At Havre there had been a tolerably fair business doing in Cotton, but, owing to the dull state of trade generally, and to the doubts enter tained by most importers in regard to the future course of business, prices had receded from 2 to 3 centimes. These accounts, so far as we can learn, have had no perceptible effect on our market. The sales of Monday. which reached to fully 7500 bales, were at undeviating prices, as were those of yesterday, which however did not amount to more than 1009 bales. The supply of the finer grades of Cotton is but small at present, and the stock of all sorts on sale is moderate for the season. The sales of the three days are about 12000 bales, which we notice as follows, viz: 70 bales Louisiana and Mississippi at cents ;21at8;14 at S£ ; 412 at 9k ; 212 at 8; 107 at 8j; 36 at 6s; 58 at 7i;g369' at 8§ ; 68 at 8£ ; 43 at 6} ; 1600 at 8, ; 800 at 8; 1130 at B;sißat 8$ ; 280 at 10$ ;30al 8$ ; 200 at 8? ; 33 ot 9i ; 60 at 8A; “33 at 8; 220 at 9; 42 atß|; 41 at 8; 700at8f; 1300 at 8g; 730 at 8$ ; 91 at 8g; 79 at 9; 400 at 9 ; 50 at 9 ; 416 at 9$ ; 230 at 10J ; 326 at 7J ; 159 at 9$ cents; and 140 Texas at 7$ cents.
