POETRY. ' FREE TRADE. Free Trade, like religion, hath doctrine* of love, And the promise of plenty and health : It proclaim*, while the angels look down from above, The marriage of labor and wealth. Free Trade, like religion, hath doctrin cs of peace, Universal as God's vital air; And thron’d o'er doomed evil, He hails iu increase, While hi* enemies only despair. Fy all who their blood on truth's altars resign'd, To enfranchise a sin-tetter'd race ! Our sons shall be free'd—from the corse of the hlin J And redeem'd from the bonds of the base. The ark of our triumph, far, far as seas roll, Shall rideoe’r the wealth-freighted waves; The chain’d of the drones be the chainlcss in soul, And tyrants made men by their slaves. The Hall of our Fathers—with Ucav’n for its dome. A ml the steps of its portals the sea— Os labor and comfort will then be the home, And tiie temple where worship the free. From the Glasgow (Scotland,) Chartist Circular. THE POOR MAN’S WEDDING. I wed thee, girl, as poor men wed, To share a lot of toil anti care, No gems will deck our bridal bed, But Love will straw his roses there. No cringing slaves, no menial throng, Will seek our nuptial hovel's thatch ; No steeds will bear us swift along— For ours is not a Coburg* match ! I did not seek thee for thy gold, For wealth thy fancy might bestow ; My love was not a feeling sold, For e'en a* I am, poor art thou. I wooed not with a longue to wish ; The lust of Mammon lent no art; I do not wed thee to he rich—- For mine is not a Coburg heart! Tli at dost not take me to thy arm*, By State necessity impelled, While condescension yields thy charm*, To be with humble reverence held. I choose thee my poor lot to cheer, To shed a radiance o’er my life, And not to frown or domineer— For thou art not a Coburg wife. When thine the pleasing hope shall give That soon a pledge will bless our love, That in another we shall live— Another pii 7 - .I ourselves above— No Court physician will be t'ee’d (Puffed in the public prints) to watch, Lest r.o.np mishap should spoil the breed— For is not a Coburg match! And when our infant’s ciy s heard— Sweet music to a parent's ear— No fl ittery foul, no pomp absurd, Will greet the little stranger hero. The public money will not keep Our babe, by princely titles styled ! Peers will not rock that babe to sleep- For ours will 1* no Coburg child ! Oh. no ! our union will not bear The seal of interest—stamp of shame! But \ et aur lot will be more fair Than those who boast a higher name. For to unite us two, at least, No eroaningpeople si;ihs and smarts! No nation's l;TJil's S|irt'ah nTir laasr— For ours, love, arc n t Royal hearts I •Coburg was the former tide of die Queen's hus band. SC'. ' -■■-■■■■■ From the Philadelphia Saturday Courier. DANIEL O’CONNELL. We presume we cannot offer a more acceptable thing- in the present state of j England, Ireland, Repeal and public opinion, than a lit:lo sketch of the early | personal history of the conspicuous agi tator, O'Connell. “lie is descended from an ancient Ci tholie family of the county of Kerry, and was in his youth intended for the priest hood. lie was early sent for his educa tion to Jesuits’ College at St. Omer, and, on finishing bis studies there, immediate ly avowed his preference for the law. He accordingly studied in the Middle Temple, and, in 17'H, was admitted to practice at the Irish bar, which had just been opened to Catholics, llis success in bis profession was rapid. It has been said of him, that “he is in the greatest request in jury cases, where lie is in his element. A Dublin jury forms the twelve stringed harp upon which, above all things, he delights (o play. His powers as a nisi prius advocate are numerous, and always at command. His skill in condhctingdefences in the Crown Court is remarkable. Here his versatility seems to approach nearer to inconsistency than in any other department of his practice. Habitually bold and sanguine every where else, he is in these cases a model of prudence and caution. Rapid in his usual cross-examination, here he never puts a hasty, especially a hazardous ques tion."’ He received a silk gown in the latter part of 1831. At the same time that Mr. O’Connell became one of the well known advocates of the Irish bar, be was not less eminent in the political assemblies of his countrymen, in which lie displayed a power, earnestness and firmness that soon rendered him the lead er of the Irish Catholics. Indeed, his exertions seem to have been of the most laborious nature. Rising early for calm and profound study, disposing of a ma-s of business before the Courts, which would seem sufficient to exhaust the strength of a common constitution, he would often pass the rest of ihe day in some popular meeting, and the evening at a public dinner, iu both of which he was required to address his audience: and the next morning would find hini early engaged in new labors. For about thirty years he has been ihe zealous and active partisan of his oppressed country men, nnd has acted a leading part in rill the efforts which they have made for an admission to the rights of British subjects. The Catholic Board, and the Catholic Association, which were formed in 1823, and suppressed in 1549, were much in debted to liis services for their influence. I:i consequence of his having applied the reproac lin-j cpitliet of corpo raiw t t« ill# Dublin corporation, which i was opposed to the Catholic claims, he j became involved in a duel, in winch bis ! antagonist fell. A dispute, which soon after arose between him and Mr. Peel, when the latter was Secretary for Ireland, j also led to an appointment, which, hav i ing become public, the parlies were pre vented from meeting by the authorities ; they agreed, however, to meet on the j continent, but, Mr. O’Connell was arrest ed in London, and held to bail before the | King’s Bench. The measures which lie i considered necessary for the relief of his ! country, were a repeal of the union, and :of the Catholic disabilities. Previous to | the passage of the relief bill, lie had de | elated that he considered it possible for j 1 him to sit in Parliament : he was accord- j I ingly elected member tor Clare, but did | not attempt to take bis sent until after | the passage of the bill, when he was rc ! quired to take the usual oaths of nllcgi- : I ance, supremacy and abjuration, lie 1 j claimed the benefit of the bill, but it was j decided that lie was not entitled to the j advantages of its provisions, and he was , j not permitted to sit. He was afterwards, 1 ! however, re-elected, and took his seat ac ! cordingly. 111 lb3o, he moved, on sev- j j eral occasions, for leave to bring in bills , I for extending the privileges of Catholics, ’ and also a bill lor reforming the abuses j of Parliamentary representation,, declar i mg himself in favor of universal suffrage, voting by ballot, and triennial Parlia ments ; but his plans met with little sup- . port.” i For the last ten years he has occupied j an important position in the eye ot the j public of the United Kingdom, and his movements arc familiar to all. MANUFACTURE OF SMALL FEET. Capt. Bingham, in his “Expedition to China,” gives an interesting account of the manufacture of small feet in Chusan : Dining our stay at this anchorage, we made constant trips to the surrounding islands, in one of which—at Tea Island —we had an opportunity of examining minutely the far-lamed little female feet. I had been purchasing a pretty little pair of satin shoes, for about half a dollar, at one of the Chinese farm-houses, where we were su non tided by several men, wo men and children. By signs we express ed a wish to see the little foot of a really good looking woman of the party. Our signs were quickly understood, but, pro bably, from her being a matron, it was not considered quite becoming for her to comply with our desire, as she would not consent to show 11s her feet; but a very pretty, interesting girl of about !G was placed on a stool for the purpose of, gratifying our curiosity. At first she was j very bashful, and appeared not to like I exposing her Cinderella-like slipper, hut j the shine of anew and very bright 100- j pec soon overcame tier delicacy, when she commenced unwinding die upper j bandage which passes around the leg, and j over a tongue which comes up from the J heel. The shoe was .then removed, and the second bandage taken off, which did for a stocking; the turns round the toes j aiKi ailfries being very tignt, and Keeping ] all in place. On the naked foot being exposed to view, we were agreeably surprised at finding it delicately white and clean, for I we fully expected to have found it other- j wise, from the known habits of most of the Chinese. The leg, from the knee downward, was much wasted ; the foot appeared as if broken 11 p at the instep, while the four small toes were bent flat and pressed under the foot, the great toe only being allowed to retain its natural position. By the breaking of the instep a high arch is formed between ihe heel and toe, enabling the individual to step with them on an even surface ; in this respect materially differing from die Can ton and Maccao ladies; for with them the instep is not interfered with, but a very high heel is substituted, thus bring ing the point of the great toe to the ground. When our Canton eompradore was shown a Chusan shoe, the exclamation was “ He-yaw ! how can walkec so fash ion ?” nor could he be convinced that such was tiie case. The toes doubled under the foot I have been describing, could only be removed by the hand sufficiently to show that they were not actually grown into the foot. 1 have often been astonished at seeing how well the women contrived to walk on their tiny pedals. Their g»;t is not unlike the little mincing walk of the French ladies; they were constantly to be seen going out without the aid of imy stick and I have often seen them at ffa cao contending against a fresh breeze, wilb tt tolerable good sized umbrella up. The little children, as they scrambled away before us, balanced themselves with their arms extended, and reminded one much of an old hen, between walking in id flying. The fbllmn'njr singular account is cop ied from tiie Newfoundland I’ost : ‘The sea shall give up its Dead.’ —On leaving; the harbor ofSf. Mary’s a short time since, the people in the boat saw a large red chest on tiie water, to ward which they directed their boat’s course, and succeeded in obtaining the chest. 4 nis, on being opened, was found to contain the corpse of a young and beau* din! female, clothed in a rich silk dress, and having three solid gold rings upon Iter fingers. And this was all that could he learned concerning her; who she had been, or the circumstances of her dentil remain to us still sealed; it is most like ij, however, that the fair young creature had died at sea, and her body been com mitted to the waters of the deep, which thus have yielded it up again. It only remains for us to add that the chest, with the body in it, just as it lay wnen first opened, was consigned to the grave with the appropriate and solemn riUotfl Chintisu bum!, iu Su Alary's. THREE bAD HABITS There are three weaknesses in our hab its which are very common, and which have a very prejudicial influence on our welfare. The first is giving way to the ease or indulgence of the moment, instead of doing at once what ought 10 be done. This practice almost diminislie the ben eficial effects of our actions, and often leads us lo abstain from action altogeth er; as, for instance, if at this season of the year there is a gleam of sunshine, of which we feel we ought to take dvan tage, but we have not the resolution to leave at the moment a comfortable seat or an attractive occupation, wc miss the most favorable opj>orUtility, and, perhaps, at last justify ourselves in remaining in door on the ground that the time for ex ercise is past. Children should be told to do nothing but what is reasonable, but they should bo taught to do what they are told at once. The second weakness is, when we have made a good resolution, and have partially failed m executing it, we are very apt to abandon it altogether. For instance, if a person who has been accustomed to rise at ten, resolves to rise at (>, and after a few successful attempts happens to sleep till 7, there is great dan ger that he will relapse into his former habit, and probably even go beyond it, and lie till noon, ft is the same with re gard to resolutions as to economy, or tem perance, or any thing else ; if we cannot do ail we intend, or make one siip, wo are apt to give it up entirely. Now, what we should aim at is, always to do the best wc can under existing circumstances, and then our progress, with the exception of slight interruptions, would lie continual. The third and last weakness alluded to, is the practice of eating and drinking things because they are on the table, and especially when they are to be paid for. How seldom it happens that two men leave a few glasses of wine in a decan ter at a coffee-house, though ihey have both had enough ; and the consequence of not doing so, is frequently to order a fresh supply ; but, at any rate, even the first excess is pernicious. Excess, how ever slight, either in solids or liquids, deranges the powers of digestion, and of course diminishes the full benefit of any meal. Avery small quantity will cause the differ* nee between spending tiie re mainder of the day profitably or agreea bly, and in mdoltnce and dissipation. A LO A Ol HAIR. Few things in this weary world are so delightful as keepsakes. Nor do they ever, to my heart at least, nor to my eyes, lore their tender, powerful charms. How ' slight, how small, how tiny a memorial, ■ saves a beloved one from oblivion—worn j on the linger, or close to the heart, espe cially if she he dead. No thought is so insupportable as that of entire, total, blind forgetfulness-—when the creature that on< e laughed, and sung, and wept to us close by our side, or in our arms, is as if her smiles, her voice, her tears, her kisses, had never been. She and them all swallowed up m the dafK noth ingness ol ihe dust. Os all keepsakes, memorials, relics most dearly, most devotedly do I love a a little lock of hair ; and oh ! when the head it beautified is long mouldered in the dust, how spiritual seems <he undy ing guTs.vm'.v's of the sole remaining ring let ! All else gone to nothing, save and exempt the soft, smooth, burnished and glorious fragttv lit ot the apparrellmg that once hung iti ciouds and sun si one over an .angel's brow. Aye, n lock of heir is far better then any picture ; it is*part of the beloved ob } ct her elf, it belongs to the to the tresses that often, long ago, may have been dis hevelled like a shower of sunbeams, over your I eating breast! But now sol emn thoughts sadden the beauty once so bright-so refulgent; the longer you gaze on it the more and more it seems to say uphraidingly, “ eep’st thou no more for me ?*’ and indeed, a tear, true to the imperishable affections in which all na ture seems to rejoice, bears witness, that the oliject to which it yearned is no more forgotten, now that she has been dead for many, many long weary days, months, years, than she was forgotten during one hour of absence that Mine lise a passing sound between us and the sunshine of her living—her loving smiles. Indian Cotton. The falling off, says the New York Express, in the sup ply of Indian cotton, imported into Eng land, will vary considerable. In 1544, the quantity rt ached 355,000 bales ; this year, 1813, it is estimated that the quan tity will not l« over 20O,(K)0 bales. This is an item of considerable importance in estimating ihe stock of cotton in Europe, as the supply must be made up from the growth of the United States. Coupon it ions.— Napoleon, giving his opinion once, on this matter, said : “A company places great advantages in the hands of a few individuals who may attend very well to their interests, while they neglect those of the mass. Thus, every company soon degenerates into an oligarchy. It is always the friends of power, to which it is ready to lend their assistance. In this point of view, companies were exclusively suited lo old times and old systems. Free trade, on the contrary, is favorable to the inter ests of all classes; its excites imagination and arouses the activity of the people, it is identical with equality, and naturally leads to independence. In this respect, it is most iu union with our modern sys tem. “After the treaty of Amiens,” said Napoleon, “I had the grand question thoroughly discussed before me, and at great length—l heard both statesmen and commercial men, and my opinion was in favor of five trade and against monopo lies.” TRUE COURAGE. M hen ail the blandishments oflifeare gone, iLi co.v.M J;*'.!;—the bxive live on. From the Wishington City Spectator. WOMEN IN THE NORTH. The Boston seamstresses held another m eting on Tuesday afternoon. From ! facts stated at the meeting, it was clearly established, says the Post, that, generally, these woincti have to work from 10 to 18 hours to earn twenty cents, and that they did not average 13 cents a day, ta king the week through, although they worked from morning till bed time, with out attending to any thing else. — Boston paper. Here is a state of social slavery, by which hundreds and thousands of our fair country-women are annually hur ried to a premature grave, attracting neither sympathy nor relief from the false and vicious philanthropy which flourish es so rankly among our Northern breth ren. African slavery in the South, so far as health and labor is concerned, is a blessing compared to it. Shut up, all winter, in narrow rooms, a half dozen gathered around a small stove, with bent shoulders and pale faces, these sisters of our race, from morning until late at night, ply their exhausting toil. Instead of the free tread and noble bloom, which is the rightful inheritance of the daughters of New England, look at that poor creature, as she slams to the door, and gathering her worn cloak around her, stoops her thin form to the blast. She coughs as she passes. The keen air has pierced into her lungs, and the spring flowers will blossom over her grave ! Poor woman ! in barbarism or in civ ilization, thou art alike a victim or a slave! In the former, man is thy mas ter : in the latter, society, with its glided inequalities and crushing destitution, leaves thee no alternative but to suffer or die. Weak thing of sensibility, and purity, and love ! thy very excellencies and virtues shall bring thee no compas sion, no relief; but only hasten thee on, by its smothered yearnings, to die only true resting place of all who “labor and are heavy laden”—the bosom ff our God. Ho careth for thee, although the cold winds or colder charities o: an unfeeling world, sweep over thy desolate and un protected breast. 111 Him is pity, and m Hi in is peace. The number of national schools in Ireland has increased since 1841, from ‘4,337, to 4.741 , and the number of chil dren taught, from 418,140 to 320,794. There were received at Albany this season, by way of the Erie Canal, from the commencement of navigation up to the Ist inst., 1,441,851 barrels of Flour, and 500,305 bushels of Wheat.

Thia work lias now been .a year before the public, ! during- which period irs reputation ha* been so suc cessfully established, and ii* circulation widely extended, as to justify the hope and belief that it will long continue to he one of the principal organs of Souiheru Political Interests, and one of the chief or naments of Southern Literature. The brilliant character of the late Southern Review shed around Charleston and the South, a halo v% hicli will not soon he forcroiten ; the Southern Quarterly has risen, af ter many toilsome efforts, from its ashes, and it is trusted that it will prove itself a worthy successor of the glory of the former. Nothing more is now re quisite to ensure it3 permanence than the continued and cordial support of the inhabitants of the South ern portions of the Union; and an appeal is confi dently made to the generous and patriotic feelings of s!l Southerners, not to suffer the present Review to languish from the want of that sustenance which they car. so well afford. In its political uharactcr this Review will he Dem ocratic, and while avoiding carefully schims merely local in their nature, it will s*re uously uphold South • ern Interests, and advocate all questions of natio* al importance with boldness and freedom. It is not in tended, however, absolutely to exclude all articles maintaining principles different from oUr own; hut if otherwise worthy of admission, *hey will he inserted with a notice that the Editors do not hold themselves responsible for the doctrines alleged. All religious discussions of a sectarian nature will be sedu ntsly eschewed, and the Review will preserve a perfect imparialitv towards all religious denominations. The work will be printed on the best paper, and with the best type, and every exertion will he made to render it worthy of the patronage of the public generally. It will he issued quarterly from Charles ton, in January, April, July and October; and arrange ments have been made, since its ro timbal to this city, to insure the regular and punctual delivery of every number a 8 it appears, so that no disappointment may hare after arise from any failure in this respect. Mr. Ritchie having withdrawn from the work, the Subscrher, in order that more time and attention may be devoted to its improvement, and to the accu racy and excellence of each number, has associated with himself in the Editorial management of the Review, that distinguished scholar, G. Fbedebick Holmes, Esq. of Orangeburg, and every effort will he made on the part of both to give every satisfaction to its patrons. Inconsequence of the removal of the Southern Review to Charleston, rnd the reduction in the ex penses of printing and publishing attendant thereon, the price of the work will henceforward be reduced from Ten Dollars to Five Dollars, payable annually in advance. The fifth number, which will com mence another year, will appear early in January, 1943, for which abundant material have been already procured. Many of the heat writers and most pro found scholars of the country have already pledged themselves to furnish articles for the ensuing year, and the list of contributors is daily increasing in talent, in respectability and in number.
