NICHOLAS NICKLEBY.
One who knew the Athenian, wall, dwertbrd
them aa those who “•pool thehr time In nwHWf
e|*e, hut either to tell or to hear aome new thing."
I Inman nature la said to be Us* same in all ages, and
the description of the Athenians it applicable to
the men of the .prerent day. The reading public,
In a pre-eminent degren, desire '• tome new thing."
Tho elegnnl classics of the Augustan age of Eng
land are allowed to remain upon the .helve, of tho
library,covered with dust, while almoit every kind
of jejune in.ignificance which issue* from thepreia
is read, because it is new. Life la too short, and
time loo valuable, to allow ui to search a bushel of
chaff for a grain of wheau Even the classic novels
of Scott, which wore the rage of dm day of their
publication, have lost rmich of dieir interest with
their novelty; nnd instead of being read by million.,
are not read by hundreds. The Romans enacted
sumptuary law., which regulated rim expense* of
tho citizen*. It would be well for tho development
of the inind of man if law. could be established di
recting tho bonk* to bo rend.
Thu Author of tho work, the name of which is
plnccd at the beginning of this article, is one of the
best writers of tho day. I do not recollect any page
of his numerous productions, which n mother would
hesitate to place in the hands uf her daughter. In
this respect ho differs from Bulwer, whoso power
nod imaginative mind facinnto* the reader, and
makes him nlmost insensible to the immoralities of
some of hi* works. Dirhem does not portray an
Alice, brought up in ignorance and isolation, pos
sessing every charm of feature and person, yot lost
to that sense of tho preset vation of character, which
without education, woman is taught by the instincts
of her nnture—ho does not tench that woman may

lulu tho ssnctnnry of woninn’s affections, and, sor-
punt-like, robbing Iter of Utnt jewel, without which
sho is "poor indeed,"—!thus teaching the monofthe

possession of which the very foundations of society
rus|. Let lids bo established as the doctrino of the
day, and tlicre will not be wanting those who will
" like nnotlier Helen, fireonothnr Troy."
I do out design to comment on the other works of
Hox. 1 will not institute a comparison between
Oliver Twist and Nicholas Nlckluby. Each is the
work of a master *, but I think Nicholas Nieklcby the
IhiU. Tho excellences of this work are various.—
Tho plot Is good, tho interest of which is not des
troyed by tho extravagance which abounds in mnny
of its coteinpornries. The author excels in the de
scription of tho beauties of nnture. As I do not de
sign to review this work, I will only instance n
part of one of tho enrly numlmrs—The Three Sis
ters of York. This is a tale of deep pathos and ex
ceeding bounty-—u tale in which nature is clothed
ih her loveliest charms, and woman pencilled with
n Inanity which mokes her surpass the liliy of the
vnllcy ; and tho social and domestic affections por
trayed iu a manner that disposes us almnsito be
lieve t lint Heaven may he found on earth: but which
clo.es with tho stern realities that belong to tho lot
of man.
Dickons is n follower of the great master of hu
man chnmctor—tho hidden vprings of human ac
tion. Ido not any lin oqiiols, or oven npproacho.
Shaktpcntt. Perhaps the great dramatist of Eng
land will not hnvo an equal in all coming time. But
thu author of Nicholas Nieklcby draws most admir
able portraits | and his characters, under all circum
stances, act tliolr proper part. Squeer* is a mean
und cruel jiudagogon—ami of necessity a coward,
tho cuuso cruel and mean. Smiko is an admirable
example of helplessness, .offering under oppression
—manifesting under all Ills lowliness, traits of char
acter, which, if properly developed, ounlt human
unturo. Lord Frederick and Sir Mulberry uniform
ly uet as iftlio world nnd nil tiling, in it, were made
lor their sixicial gratification. Their entire charac
ter i* continued in the lino of Huruco, " nati con.u-
mere frugo. tome."
Ralph Nieklcby is always a most consummate
villain, willing to saerifico his lorely niece to titled
profligacy, in order to gratify that most debasing of
nil nujsioii., tho love of money for its own sake,
and not fertile comforts it enable, us to enjoy, or
tho good itonnhlos u. to offcct In connection with
his character we may well exclaim that
«-~»our*cd |nv« of g Id. f-r whose sake

Nicholas and Kate are almost (Kirfoct characters:

*(ho Montreal Courier of June llrii, give* an nc-
count ofthe burning of I ho John Bull one of the
largest steam hunts on tlioSl. Lawrence, whlrii oc
curred ut Lavallrle, about eight mile from Sand.
When ilia lire was first diraovorod, it had burst
through tho dock over rite larboard engine, with
such fi.ry that any attempt 10 arras: it* progress was
doomed usoh-.s, and it was llmn-furo immediately
decided to run the linnt as near the shore as the
depth ofthe water would admit. In ilia mean time,
tlio bunts were luwi-red, nnd got randy to convey the
passengers on shore. Capt Humlltun, of the D-y-
one, wliu.a vessul was in tow ofthe stonin-r, with
Ills men and bodls rendered llio most prui.ewortiiy
und esNOiilial service, lotuking the in..sengers front
tlio burning wreck. (
It was a must frt'rtunnto clrcnmMnnoo that hi.
vessel was in tow at the time. a. n largo number of
llio.u onboard are undoubtedly Indebted to the me
ritorious exertiun. of the Captain for their lives, a.
tho steamer's boats were Inadequate to convey nil
on shore before tlio boat was wrapped in flames
from stem to stern. Tho paisnngi-r.—cabin nnd
deck—were safely lamb’d, with tlio exception of
thntu who Imqied overboard. One of tho engineer.,
it it said, is ml.ring. We believe tho whole or the
cargo is lost, os also the passenger*’ luggage. Thu
passengers were in bed when tim accident happen
ed, ami sumo of them escaped with only their night
clothes. •
The John Bull wn», peihapi. tho most valuable
steamboat In North America. She cost tlio propri
etors npoaid* of 22,000/. and was only insured for
3,0001.
There were only nbuut 12 cabin passengers, in
cluding 2 or 3 ladies, one of w hom, a Mis. Ross,
was accidentally diown-d by failing between two of
the small bunt* after .lie was taken from the wreck.
Mr*. M'Cord, tho wife of W. K. M'Cord, Esq, was
a nns-ongcr,-md escaped with her night clothes
only. The remainder of 1 he passenger* lost every
thing but wlintthoy had on. The number of steer
age pa.M-ngcit lost was not learned whan these
gentleman left. F rtunatnly there wero only about
GO on board. Tlio limit was ran ashore in about
10 feet of water, and the engine, continued working
till alio was nenily consumed.
A it g.Ns as Can. van to Mxxtco -About the I*,
of May, n caravan with forty men nnd eighteen wat
guns, besides a number of mulos, left Van Buron, in
tho State of Arkansas, fitted out by Messrs. Pickett
and Grogg, of that place, bound on a land voyage to
Chihuahua, in the Republic of Mexico, with" an as
sorted stock of merchandise, principally dry gomls.
AImoii forty U, S7 Dragoons under tliocommaod of
Lieut. Bowman, were to moot thorn at Camp
Holmes on the Cmadinn, 130 mile* west of Fort
Gibson, to escort the caravan a portion of its jour
ney through the country of tlio wild Indians.
Tim dD'nnco from Van Buren to Chihuahua; is
about 700 milt*; but a. that town it not a port of
entry, thersravnn will necessarily first perform a
journey to Santa Fe, nearly 600 mile# out of it*
way, in order to enter their goods at tire custom
lw>u*e. 8uliable representations were made to tho
M.-xicnn Minister at Washington during the late
se.siuii of Congress, and there is every prospect of
Chihuahua being soon made a port of entry, which
will greatly facilitate tho transmission of merchan
dise to that portion of the Mexican dominion.,
whore thny must bo greatly needed—the recent
blockade hy rim French liuving been the means of
keeping tho whole country dciitutn of the necessa

the cursa which hoi alighted upon their fathers,

among tho crowd of the priests and die rubble who
insulted the son of man; scourged him t6 ignominy

thay soothod him under afflictions. A women of
Bethany poured on hit.head the precious ointment
which she kept in a vtso of Alabaster; tho sinner
anointed his feet with a perfumed oil, and wiped
them with h*r hair. Christ, on hi# part, extended
hit grtce nnd mercy to the Jeweites; be raised from
the dead the ton ofthe widow of Nain, and Mal

thing like e fair idea ofthe capita) embarked in ono
of these conoem*. The cause of this may he In
part explained. The hop and malt rooms are na
tural and obvious quarters for tho employment of
the wealth of these brewing houses. But tho fund*
ofthe sqtno parties areabtoriied also In lo*tobvious
wnv*;
The most ofthe licensed brewing houses In the
city ore connected with somo brewing comnanyor
nnotlier, and hence are called " tied houses." The
brewers advance loans to tho publican nn tho secu
rity of bislease, and from the moinont thnt necessity
or any other cause tempts him tnacc-pt such aloon,
he it bound to the lending party. Indeed, tho ad
vance is made on tbe open and direct condition that
bo shall sell the lender's liquor nnd hi* alone. The
pnblican, iq short, becomes a mere retail agent for
the behoof of one particulrr company. They clap
theitsign above hit door, and he con no longer fair
ly call the house hit own.
The quantity of money thus lent out by th- Lon
don bft-wer* is enormous. One house nlono, we
know from good authority, has more than 200,000
pounds so employed. Perbnps the reader will
have a still butter kiwi of the extent to which this
system is unrriod, when ho is told thnt a single
brow-houso has ten thousand pounds worth of sign
boards stuck up over London—rating those arti
cles, of course, at thoir cost price*. This explains
what n stranger in tho metropolis is at first very
much struck with, tho numberof large board* with
" Whitebrood's Entire," •* Meux’n Double Defined,"
pr " Combo and Dulafiuld's Brown Stout House,"
that meet tho eyo in ovory part of London. These
signs are of such site a* to extdhd usually from side
to side uf die building on which they nro placed, nnd
ifa house presents too ends, or even three to public
view, the massive letters adorn them ull. Such
hoards cost front fifteen to twenty pound* a piece,
so that eight or nine iiu. dredof tnom amount to tho
»v.m total stall'd 5 nnd some breweries have that
number of them up, in ono quart* and another of
tho great city.
This mudu of advertising may look expensive,but
it has it*advantages. It is porman -iit, nnd readily
points out to the favorers of particular brewing
houses, whore their favorite stout is to Ihj found-

Tho stables of ono of these establishment*, wlion
filled witli their allotted tenants, constitute ono of
the very finest sights, thnt can Ihj seen nntlie whole

All in Your Era.—A good story was rolatod to
us to-day, by a member of the bar, who wa* counsel
for ono of the parties. A short time ainco, Capt.
II. sailed from tho United States on a foreign voy
age, with n black crew, and somo days before his
arrival at Liverpool chastised one of thorn, for diso
bedience, somewhat severely. The mnn, however,
resumed his duty, and continued to perform it until
they arrived at Liverpool, apparently uninjured—
an able bodied and uncomplaining men; but at Liv-'
erpool ho deserted, and tho Cnptain heard no more
of nim until his arrival at Boston, long after the
whole affair had escaped from his memory. A pro
fessional letter from Court street announced to him
tho existence of a claim against him for damages.
Inquiry connected the claim with tho above facts,
and informed Capt. H. for the first time thnt he
had deprived hi* man of one of his eyes, and Jack
■tood there, sure enough, shorn of one of his lustrous
oibs—a living attestation to the Captain’s severity
and cruelty. Captain H. who, by tho way, seemed
to bo a kindly and gentlemanly Now Englander,
felt deeply hurt and grieved in his mind, and ex
pressed the regret ho then felt, and ever must foel,
that ho bad caused the poor sailor so severe a loss,
nnd finally compromised the matter by a remunera
tion of $200, paid to Jack’s counsel. Ho then re
turned to his vessel, and, impressed with asense of
pain at the remembrance ofiho injury, and of plea
sure and ease at the thought of having in a measure
repaired Bra loss, and secured himself from farther
molestation on account of it,, related to his mates
and men tho whole affair, and when he called to thoir
miodi the time, occasion, and the perton, the mon
informed him that Jack was blind In one eye when
he shipped—the tame identical eyo for the loss of
which bo had just recovered |2001 Jack, however,
was gono^on a spree, and none of the money could
be recovered. A momentary regret was occasioned
aa we reflected on tbe triumph of villanv, but a
smile gathered on our brow, and we could not for
bear a hearty laugh at Jack’s dishonest shrewdness.

THE SILK CULTURE.
Mr. Morris Bollock, the enteiprizing Tlirowstcr
ofGUtgow, has arrived in the Great Western, and
has prureedrd to I’itisylvania county, in this Suite,
where he proposes to establish a large Mulhciry
plantation, a Cocoonery, and a Filatu e for reeling
the silk. He has availed himself of the Act of As
sembly of 1833, ami has already become a quhti
citizen of (lie Suite, for the purposeof holding lands.
We had the pleasure of witnessing an inieruiing
interview on Friday evening between Mr. Pollock
and Mr. D’Humergue. They agree in their views
of the best murmur of conducting the silk business
in the United Slati-s. They think that Virginia is
calculated to Iro it great silk State; but that -he
ought tu^nnfine herseliat present to tbe raising of
the Mulberry nnd lira worm, and of reeiingthe silk
from the Cocoons—and thut it )# probably best to
estuhlish largo Filatures, which uillfurni-h amai-
kol fur the Uncuons, and supersede tho necessity nf
each silkcultnrist having a reel of hit own—and
that it is holler I'm us to export thoraw tilk, M l:e
mnriufnciUied in Euru|ie. Mr. Pollock seem* 10
imssuss great knowludge. of his subject; and to
show the most liberal ilispusitiun to communicate it
to other*, and to encuunigu the enterprise* in lh>*
Slate.- He was much surprise ! by the ncrounts
that were given him of tho active and prolific quali
ties ofthe Munis Multii-ouii*. Hohns brought nut
witlihlmn({U:intity of the white Italian Mulberry;
nnd presiinn-il, that he could no! got hi* cocoonery
in operation bvfore tho third year—but the charac
ter oflhoMu.'tlcntilf* will enable him to go 10 work
much sooner. Mr. D'Homcrguo kasalso great ex-
perienro in tho business. Hu is a decided enthu-
sinsi; hut at the same time prudent and considerate.
From the elortlent* ofc ilouiatiun, with which he
furnished us ox Frida , it appears that, barring all
accidents, nnd with cocooneries economically built
and properly conducted, each acre of ground w ill
produce a not profit of at leait $200. In fuct, ho
contend* lliat it will bn 11 inure profilnhie busines-

Ten Dollars per annum, unless a majority of our
Daily subscribers desire otherwise, believing, ns we
do, that such an arrangement is desired by e com
munity as largo ns that of Savannah. Tho
former nrmngement of an intermission of tlirao to

but Charleston has fwo Daily morning papers, and

THE FOURTH OF JULY.
Every mall brings us details of nrrnngomonts hav.
ing been entered into, even in ovory country village,
for the celebration of tho ever-glorious anniversary
of our country's birth ns a nation.
What is the city of Oglkthorfe, to dn on this
occasion? Will she not show some of the spark*
of her anciont firo 7 Or will she permit the blood
'* that flowed like rain," in tho "times that tried
men's souls," on her ensanguined plains, to' rise in
judgment against her—nnd reproach her sota with
their degeneracy 7 Shades of Greene—of Pu
laski, forbid it. No such slur shall be cast on
her fair escutcheon.
Should tlio people at large decline celebrating
the day—which we will not believe until tbe day
passes—there is our new Historical 8oclety, which
numbers amongst its members nearly all the taleht
of our city, and a good.'y portion of tho talent of
our State. Let it not suffer tho day to pass without
some notice. Tho Library Society—the Union So
ciety—the St. Andrew's, and the Hibornion Society,
would, no doubt, co-oporate.
Last year, the over to bo deplored catiistrophh-of
tho Pulatki, wrapped our citizens in sorrow—and
they could not, with justice to feelings that did
them honor, enter into the celebration of the day,
as it, at nil times, deserves.
This year, we have abundant reason to be ibank-
fol. Providence ho* bestowed many favors on us.
No calamity has occurred to mar our-joy. Ou^
great public wurk, tha Central Rail Road, has prix^
grossed with astonishing rapidity—a spirit of enter
prise has been awake nod among our citizens, and
they are op and doing. Let us, then, rest from our
labors on iho approaching FOUKTH—that day of
days—which is narked in our annals in letters thllt
'pan#wft*^<L , ^n#h'Srday, let us rejoice foftho
blessing* wo eqjoy, and hand down to posterity,
tho sentiment* and the fooling# that actuate tho
Citizen* of Savannah in 1839—the 63d year of
Independence. Let not our children see'such ft
day passed over in sullen silence. It was not so on
thrf exciting 4th July, 1776.
Great Fire at Antwerp,—An Antwerp paper
of tbe 17th of April, contains tho annexed para

burg, and in less than an brtir and a half,

were thrown into misery.—The fire was just extin
guished when the accounts left.
