OYSTERS.
Reader, do you like tlniL testaceous fish, yelrpt

not. Wo comm’.ramto ilinio residents beymd the
mountains who cannot enjoy them in tlndr palmy
atnto. They tiro nt this annson, tho ipiintusionco of
ull tltosn eniinnls which brasilio in tho waters,
and which man draws from their recesses to admin
ister to bis comforts. A luxury )• tho oyster, and
yet ills the poor man’s food. It i», like tliu light uf
Heaven, enjoytul by nil. Ruw, baked, rousted,
boiiod, stewml, or fried, or c ••sly, it lias in peculiar
flavor. Designed by 11 kind Provldnncn to In* eaten,
matt lias endeavoured to invent new tnndes of pre
paring them fertile pain to. Variety is tho bp'co
of llfo, nml so it is in I lei culinary preparation of
tills shell li*h.
But wo have prefaced ennui>h. We morely In
tended to ask the render If let bud ever visited thn
City Hotel Lunch aline Reed's Oyster llnuso.
Cnpt. Wilthergor W a best in himself, but with
Reed, os bis Deputy, who knows how to prepare nn
oyiter, so that it seems to soy—come and eat me,
lie is a host of bests.
Wa wonder If the Cnplsitt lets much of that
Thiitlo brand. It is like Love to tint Fair of crea
tion—the champagne of life. But a truco to
wonders.
Reader, go nml son.
There, in sweet strains of kindred music blending,
All the home voices meat at day’s dcaliuet
One are those tones, as from on* heart nscontllng—
Tbare laughs my homo—Sad stronger, whore is

Far o'er the dt serts and the tombs n way;

And fond hearts wail my stop—but whurc

And what is homo? and where hut with the living?
Happy thou art, and soasnst gate on time;

At tho low whisper of his country's name?

And, dying, led to tyrants all Ida hate,
Piled uji in death before oppression's gate?

Tho Banks in Savannah still pay specie. They
have fi-und it advisable recently, to refuse
specie to Brokers ,nnd to those Banks who having
tltem.ielves suspended, havo strived t» use tho notes
of tho specie paying Banks merely for their own
benefit, without consulting tho interests of thepub-
lic generally.
Specio Ims not been refused, we mo advised,
individuals for thu iuciiiiy of chungoor to promote
public convenience, but to those who deul in it as
merciinmlisn, and extract it from Bank vault*, tint'
they may turn a penny, (though their conduct
may cripple tho Bonks in tbeir operations, nod de.
pi I vo the community of thoir usual faciliiic*,) it lias
In on denied.
Tlto Recorder, wn are sure, will correct its state

{From the Recorder.)
" Tl»»* Bank* in Suvnnnnli have stopped specio

"Mr. Bynum appealed to Mr. G-ir’and to with
draw me motion f-r tho previous question, as he
hail Imh*ii attacked hy throe gentlemen on the oppi^

The distance of my seat from the memW front
North Carolina, and Ute u.uul want id order In tho

Still, n regard for tl* kind opinion of friends, end
a respect lor myself, wliicli 1 hope ever to retain,
requires that I should define my position in relulion
tu tha member from North Carolina.
Since tho 7ili day of June, I83fl, (• day which
that mombfir no doubt wrll rnmembrreil,) I have
purpo-ely aviddod noticing any thing ha might sny,
nr in any mnnner coming in contact with him, well
knowing th-it no lanrc's are to be gained where
oven victory wound ho a disgrace. Under these
circumstances, tny friend* need fori no approhen
•ion nn tny account. But to prevent misunder
standing, and (Injustice tu mvsolf, I desire it tobo
nlfoumi(>rst*-od,tiiat if, upon any occairinn, I have,
or hereafter may, wound the feelings of any gentle
man, I "hull always hold mytelfbound to make un
honorable atonement, or meet him in an honornhlo
way; but lie mudlm n gentleman worthy the notlco
of nn honuroble man.
Mr. Bynum snid he ro*o to reply to th** ro.

on him, nnd wnx then followed up by his colleague
and others; although the gentleman hud said lie had
biin down a particular rule for himself to pursuo.
since ihem- mor.tble 7th of June, 1836, nnd llm
course was to hnvo nothing to do with me; and, to
uvuid mo in ilebutn. Sir, such was the id miciil
course that I hud luid down for myself to pursue 10
winds that gentleman, end several others with

Mr. Bynum said that thu nii'inber hud asked for

and could be relied 011, lie had no i-lij- htion to tin-

Mr. Stanly wits again understood to sny thut

Maryland, which ho conceived needed some notlco.
Hu suid it wu* usual with him to cultivate with

Mr. Bymon snid that this piano wns not thu

REAL THOUGH ROMANTIC.
An nn-cdoto'hnx recently circulated in tho Fats-
bnurg St. Germain,which, though romantic, is net
tho mss authentic. Two families, well known in
the nristociuric world, nnd hearing tlm names of
S y und M—nl, were si'pnrnt' d, not only by
iioliticnl Inured, hutnlso by prlvule in'erests, a
lawsuit of groat moment ponding between them.—-
They detested mm another cordially, in n stylo in
deed worthy of the Montague- and Capulcts. M.
Jb y. juh, a young Muster of Requests in
tbo Council of Stato, chanced to meat Mme do
M id in 11 drawing rpom, wit limit knowing her.
Ho thought her 11 charming young widow, for shn
wild n widow, paid her n-siilumts attention, and
followed Iter every whom. Mine do M- nl, who
hml observed td* assiduity, ro-p-mded to It in such
a manner as not to deprive him of nil hope. A
very willy woman, well aware of tho enmity exis
ting between the families, had amused herself by
protracting the mutual orruroftw** fins who udored
0110 unother. Sho had contrived to give the youth
n fictitious nntna witli the Juliet, and the young
widow liu-l nbo been introduced under u fuiso ntio
to tin* Romeo of the Council uf Stnto. All was
procerd ng in tlm most prosperous manner; tho
lover- met, adored 0110 another, and swore etitor- .
mil attachment, always at tlu* house of tbo Indy
who unjuJRd Irt intr gin*. One day, however, tliu
truth came out, when M. 1I0S y nnd Mme
dc M——nl discovered that they wore bluer ene
mies. Whnt was 10 l*o dune? The young gentle-
tnau wonld willingly have mode the first .-dvancca
towards a reconciliation, hut he dreaded u repulse.
Tho handsome widow, on the other hand, foil much
moroatleciiou than hostility m her heart, but cuuld
only wait fur tl*n overture* oi a beloved fm*. Nei
ther being willing to make tin* lira advances,the in
tercourse was suspended, and ennui and in Inncho-
ly prevailed on both sides. In a short timn,however,
tho youth’s love seemed to liavo vanished, nudmudw
room for the old hereditary hatred. M de 3—y
gnve his-whole attention to the lawsuit pending
between tho families. After the most desperato
effort* he won it, and iberebv ruined Mme do M
nl. The handsome widow, still less concern
ed nbottt the loss of her fnrtuiiPS, than hurt at the
conduct of her Into worshipper, wns preparing to
quit Furls and retire lot" th • family of her hushnnd
when M. «lo S———y waited **n her to her great*
n«tnni*limcni, and demanding her hand, assured
her that lie hid gained po**e*.ion other property
only that he might be nMe in ro-tnre it to hnr. Tlio
marriage took place eight day* ngo, at tho church
