A ‘friend and fellow-citizen’ of ours (says the Knickerbocker for Octoner) — Ins tr instated, so far as published, a se rial novel, just jow making 1 a great noise • n the literary circles of the French cap ftal.cnlitku Ecc Mysteries de Paris,' by Eugene Sue. Premising that our readers '■fill soon have an opportunity of perusing in an English translation some of the most striking of the very remarka ble sketches of this Dickens of France, we shall content ourselves for the present with a single extract, embodying a sim p!e, but as it strikes us, a very touching and impressive scene. The Rodolphe of the passage below is a German prince, who has come to Paris, and who goes forth in disguise to seek out worthy ob jects of benevolence. lie encounters in La, Cite,' a quarter of the town occupied by the most abandoned classes, a girl of beautiful, melancholy countenance,called in the peculiar language of the inhabi tants, ‘La GoHaleuse ,’ or ‘ Fleur de Marie,' who turns out, in the subsequent progress of the story, to be a child of his own, who he supposed to be dead, but who in fact h id been left in the streets by her nurses, lie proposes to take her into tire country with him; and the effects which local objects produce upon her mind is very beautifully described in the little episode of ‘The Rose-bush,’ which will be found in the opening of the story. The whole tale forcibly illustrates what a French metropolitan contemporary terms the ‘ inequisable imagination’ of Eugene Sue , ‘ I believe you, andjl Thank you ; but answer me frankly : is it equally agreea ble what pari of the country we go to V ‘ Oh, it is all the same to me, Monsieur Rodolphe,as long as it is the country ;it is so pleasant; the pure air is so good to breathe! Do you know that for five months I have been no farther than the flower market, and if the ogresse ever allowed ms to go out of the Cite, it was because she had confidence in me 7 ‘ And when you came to this market, was it to buy flowers?’ ‘ Oh, no : 1 had no money ; I only came to see them ; to inhale their rich perfume. >-'or tlie haif hour that the ogresse allow ed me to pass on the quai during mar ket days, 1 was so happy that I forgot all.’ ‘ And when you returned to the or gresse—to those horrid streets?’ ‘ I came back more sorrowful fVtn when l set out. I choked down my tears, that I might not receive a beating. I tell you what it was at the market which made m* envious, oh ! very envi zws; it was lo sec the little 'ouvrieres,' so neatly clad, going off so gaily with a tine pot of flowers in their arms !’ • 1 am sure, if you had only had some flowers in your window, they would have been companions for you.’ ‘ It is very true what you say, Monsieur Rcdolphe. Imagine: one day the ogresse at her fete, knowing my love for flowers, gave me a little rose-bush. If you could only know how happy l was ! I was no louver lonesome ! 1 could not keep trom looking at rny rose-bush. 1 amused my self in counting its leaves, its flowers. . . But the air is so bad in La Cite that at the end of two days it began to fade. . . But you’ll laugh at me, Monsieur Ro dolphe ?’ ‘ No, no ! Go on ! go on !’ ‘ Well then, I asked permission from the ovresse to take my bush out for an airing ; yes, as I would have taken out a child. I brought it to the quai; I thought to myself, that being in company with other flowers, in this fine and balmy air, would do it good. 1 moistened its poor withered leaves with the pure water of the fountain, and then I warmed it awhile in the sun. I)ear little rose-tree 1 it never saw the sun in La Cite, for in our street it comes no lower than the roof. At length I returned ; and 1 assure you, Monsieur Rodolphe, that my rose-bush lived perhaps ten days longer than it would have done without the airings.’ 1 J believe it; but when it died ! —that must have been a great loss to you.’ ‘ I wept for it; 1 was very sorry. . . Beside, Monsieur Rodolphe, since you understand how one can love flbwers, I can tell it to you. Well, I felt grateful for to it. Ah! now this time you are laughing at me!’ ‘ No, no ! I love, I adore flowers ; and thus 1 can comprehend all the foolish things they cause one to commit,or which they inspire.’ % ‘ Eh bien !’ ‘I felt grateful to this poor rose-bush, for having flowered so prettily for me—such a one as me!’ The gou aleuse held down her head and became purple with shame. ‘Poor child ! with this consciousness of your horrible position, you must have often . . . .’ ‘ Had a wish to put an end to it ? Is it not so, Monsieur Rodolphe V said la Gotialeuse, interrupting her companion. > ‘ Oh ! yes ; more than once 1 have looked at the Seine from the parapet. But then I turned to the flowers, the sun, and I said to myself, ‘ The river will always be there . . . . lam only sixteen . . . who knows?’ ‘When you said, ‘ Who knows V you had a hope ?’ ‘ Yes.’ ‘ And what did you hope for ?’ ‘I do not know. 1 hoped—yes, I ho ped, ‘ malgre mol.' At those moments, it seemed to me that my fate was not mer ited ; that there was some good left in me. I said to myself, ‘ I have been very much troubled,but at least. 1 have never harmed any one. . . if I had only had someone to counsel me, I should not he where l am. That dissipated my sorrow a little. After all, 1 must confess that these thoughts occurred oftener after the loss of my rose-bush,’ added la Goualeuse, in a solemn manner, which made Rodolphe smile. * 1 This great grief always . . .’ ‘ Yes ; took here !’—anil la Coualcuse drew from her pocket a little packet care fully tied with a pink favor. ‘ You have preserved it !’ ‘ I think so! it is all 1 possess in the word.’ ‘ How ! have you nothing you can call your own ?’ ‘ Nothing.’ ‘ But this coral necklace !‘ ‘ It belongs to the ogresse.’ ‘ How !do you not own a rag ?—a hat ? —a handkerchief?’ ‘No, nothing; nothing but the dry leaves of my withered rose-bush ; it is on this account I prize it so much.’ ‘ At each word the astonishment of Ro dolphe was redoubled. He onld not comprehend this frightful slavery, this horrible sale of [soul and body lor a wretched shelter, a few tatterad clothes, and impure nourishment. They arrived at the ‘ Quai aux Fears.' A carriage was in waiting. Ro dolphe assisted his companion to get in, and after placing himself at her side, said tc the coachman : ‘To Saint Denis ; I will tell you di rectly which road to take.’ The horses started ; the sun was radi ant; the sky without a cloud : but the cold was a little sharp, and the air circu lated briskly, through the open windows of the carriage. * * * * * * At this moment they drew near to Sain Ouen, at the juncture of the road to Saint Denis and the Cheinin de la Re volte. ‘ Notwithstanding the monotonous ap pearance of the country, Flenr-de-Marie was so delighted at seeing the fields, that forgetting the thoughts which sad reflec tions had awakened in her mind, her charming face brightened up ; she leaued out of the window, and cried : ‘ Monsieur Rodolphe ! what delight! . Fields ! and thickets ! If you would only let me alight! The weather is so fine ! 1 would like so much to ruu m the mead ows !’ ‘We will take a ran, my child.— Coachman, stop!’ ‘ How ! you also, Monsieur Rodo’plic !’ ‘ I also! yes, we will make it a holiday.’ ‘ What happiness ! Monsieur Ro dolphe !’ And Rodolphe and Flenr-de-Marie, hand in hand, ran over the new-mown field until they were out of breath. To attempt to describe the little gam bols, the joyous shouts, the fresh delight of Fleur-de-Marie would be impossible. Poor gazelle ! for so lonu’ time a prisoner, site breathed the pure air with intoxica tion. She came, she went, she ran, she stopped, always with new transports. — At tlie sight of seveial ttills of daises, and some marigolds, spread by tne first frosts of approaching winter, she could not re frain from fresh exclamations of delight. She did not leave a single flower, but gleaned the whole meadow. After hav ing thus ran over the fields—soon tired, being unaccustomed to so much exercise —the young girl pausing to take breath, seated herself on the trunk of a tree, which lay prostrate near a deep ditch. The fair and transparent complexion of Fleur-de-Marie, ordinarily too pale, was now shaded with the most lively color. Her large blue eyes shone sweetly ; her rosy mouth, half-open, disclosed her pearl-like teeth ; and her heart throbbing under the little orange shawl, she kept one hand on her bosom as if to compress its pulsations,’while with the other she extended to Rodolphe theflowers she had gathered. Nothing could be more charm ing than the innocent, joyous expression, which shone in that lovely face. As soon as she could speak, she said to Rodolphe with touching naivete: ‘ How kind is the Bon Dieu lor hav ing giveh Us such a fine day !’ ‘ A tear came to the eyes of Rodolphe, as he heard this poor abandoned, despis ed, lost creature, without home, without bread, offering thus a cry of joy and thanks to the Creator, for the enjoy ment of a ray of sunshine and the sight of a meadow ! Fire and M ater-Proof Cement. —To half a pint of milk put an equal quantity of vinegar, in order to curdle it; then separate the curd from the whey, and mix the whey with four or five eggs, beating the whole well together. When it is well mixed, add a little quick-lime through a sieve, until it has acquired the consistence of a thick paste. With this cement, brokerwvessels and cracks of all kinds may be mended. It dries quickly, and resists the action of water, as well as a considerable degree of fire.—Mechan ic's Own Booh. To WASH WOOLI.EN GOODS. — The art of washing woollen goods so as to prevent them from shrinking is one of the desiderata in domestic economy wor thy of being recorded ; and it is, there fore, with a satisfaction we explain this simple process to our readers. All de scriptions of woollen goods should be washed in very hot water with soap; and, as soon as the article is cleansed, immerse it in cold water; let it then be hung up to dry. —Nashville Agricultu rist. Recipe.— The fumes of brimstone are useful in removing stains of linen, &c.—thus, if a red rose be held in fnmbs of a brimstone match, the color will soon begin to change, and at length tlie flower will become white. By the same pro cess, fruit stains or iron moulds may be removed from linen or cotton clothes, if the spots be previously moistened with water. Beautiful experiment avith a plant.— The Brooklyn News gives the following interesting bit of information: “Cut a small branch of oleander from a thrifty plant, place it in a vial partly fill ed with rain water, so that the lower end of the branch may be immersed about half an inch in water. Place this in the sun in an open room, and in about fifteen or twenty days small roots will shoot out from the end of the branch, presenting a beautiful appearance. After these roots have extended two or three incites, the branch may be set out in moist earth, and if frequently watered, it will grew rapidly, and soon form a! large thrifty stock. Ladies who are fond of flowers may easily propagate olean ders in this manner, and in a few months multiply these beautiful plants to an in definite extent.” Hydraulics. —A man has been fined fifteen dollars in Troy, for whipping a journeyman with a stout piece of rate hide. This Ephraim has entered in tile Star as a case of hide-raw-licks. Ivory Nut. —A nut has recently been brought to England, and a few of them thence to this” country, resembling the horse-chesnut in its c-x’terior appearance, but the interior is solid, and white, as hard as ivory, and resembles the ele phant’s tooih so exactly that none would suspect it of being any thing else. It is so hard as to receive a polish even supe rior to ivory and can only be cut in a lathe. When taken from the tree it is a milky pulp, and may be reduced to that state again in warm water. We have a sample of the article on our desk, made into a match box.— Jour, of Commerce. A Goon Match. —“ How has yocr daughter mar ried, Mr4. Sanliorn; pretty well, 1 hope!” “Very well, I thank you Mrs. Turk. Her husband wears ruffles on his shirt, a long-tail coat, leads the Singing at Church, and exjiccts to be made Cai>tain in the Militia V’ What essence is most pleasant to a gentleman popping the question ? Why. ucqui-esseaee, gentle reader. LOVE. Ah, list not to tlie crimson bird, That sings on yonder vine; There is a voice of sweeter note— ’Tis thine, sweet Love, ‘lis thine. Ah. gaze not on the fir-off stars, Which richest gems outshine; There is a gem of purer light— ’ Tis thine, sweet Love, ’tis thine. Ah, smile not on the sunny glow, Where rose and lily twine; There is a blush of softer hue— ’Tis thine, sweet Love, ’tis thine. My evening and my morning star — My song-bird on the bough— My summer flower of softest dye— Art thou, sweet Love, art thou ! CIRCULAR. Tlie time has arrived, when, it lias become neces sary for the Friends of Free Trade lo unite in sus taining their cause. The commercial community and agricultural pop ulation of the country, have been subjected to the operation of an unequal and unjust Tariff Law. A law, admitted by its framers and advocates, to have been hastily devised and hurriedly acted on, forced through Congress at the close of an extra session, and adopted by a single casting vote. A law, which makes lorced loans train importers, in the way of cash duties, amounting on an average to 30 per cent, of their capital A law, which by heavily taxing ma terials used in ship building, being equal lo S3 per ton, which, on a vessel of 600 tons, amounts to the enormous sum of 83,500 is driving our ships from the foreign carrying trade. Foreign and cheaper built vessels monopolize to a great extent, the business which was formerly done by our ships. The friends of Free Trade, contend that justice to the Merchants, Ship Builders, ami Ship Owners, and to the Farmers of the country, demands an immedi ate modification opt his oppressive Tariff Law. They contend, that, the Agricultural and Commercial in terests of the United States are indissolubly united. That, the prosperity and extension of tiade and com merce, necessarily promotes the extension and pros perity of agriculture. They believe the power granted to Congress by the Constitution, to regulate commerce, was not in tended to he used for its destruction. They believe it bad policy for the government, in time of profound peace, under pretence of passing a revenue bill, to pass a bill destroying revenue, and then borrow money with which to carry on the gov ernment, and at the same time laying the foundation of a large public debt. They believe a crisis has been reached in the af fairs of the country, when these measures must be met, resisted aud overcome, by the united aud effi cient action of the friends of free trade. From the signs of the times, should the advocates of commercial restriction and unequal taxation, suc ceed in electing their candidate for the Presidency, the disastrous result will be, that we shall have the severe grievances of which we justly complain, fas tened upon us as the permanent policy of the coun- try. To avoid an event fraught with such evil conse quences, it behooves us to unite with others in the support of a Free Trade Candidate for the Presiden cy. The time for action is short. In a few more months, an individual may be selected, as President, whose opinions, power and influence, might be fear fully exerted against us. Or one, whose views, feel ings and opinions coincide with our own. Something should be done. Ai the present time, the Press ot this city occupies a position unfavorable to tlie success of our cause. The necessity for a new paper is evident, from the fact that at present, none ot the papers of this city advocate to the full extent, and with sullicicnt energy and zeal, the piiu ciples for which w e contend. A paper of this character seems at the present juncture indispensable. It should be in its ends and aims, essentially a Free Trade paper; and at the same time, advocate the claims to otiice, of men in whose ! undisguised principles, we might place the most im plicit confidence. A Committee of Free Trade Gentlemen, have been organized to solicit subscriptions from persons disposed lo contribute means, towards starting in ibis city, as soon as practicable, anew Cohrereial aud Free Trade paper, with the intention, at the same time of lendim* its honest and fair support for the Presidency, to the candidate w hose opinions are well known to be favorable to a liberal Commercial policy. Writers of acknowledged ability, zeal and indus try, will have charge of tlie Editorial columns. Talents of the highest order will be engaged to take charge of the respective Departments of the paper. The state of the Money Market, with Reports of Banks, Incorporated Joint Stock Companies, Procee dings of Congress, and of State Legislatures, in re lation to all financial affairs, with regular tables of Exchange Domestic and Foreign, combined with general groupings of all monetary movements taking place in all parts of the civilized world, will form a permanent feature of the paper. Another department of the paper will be devoted to information concerning the state of the principal Markets of the world for Agricultural products. Cor respondence will also be established with the farm ing and planting districts of the interior, in order to obtain tlie latest news of tlie extent aud prospects of the growing crops.

Believing the present to be a crisis too important to tiie interests of the . emocratic party to allow any press devoted toils cause to sink for want of support, the subscriber has, at the instance of many friends, con sented to assume the editorial guidance of the Peters burg Republican. Recognizing in the late temporary defeat of D moc raey the necessity of recurrence for future success to the fundamental principles of States’ Rights, and their strict application to all Federal issues. The Republi can will neither in itself exhibit laxity of political faith, nor tolerate its indulgence in others, but will undevia tingly adhere to the noble principles, as admirably em bodied by one of our distinguished Statesmen—‘Free trade; low duties ;no debt; seperation from Banks; economy; retrenchment; and strict adherance to the Constitution.” The successful maintenance and permanent estab lishment of this wt-e and just system of measures must greatly depend on the judicious selection of the l>emo cratic candidate lor the next Presidency, and believing the amplest guarantee of these ini|>ortant ends to be afforded by the eminent abilities and unsulfied faith of JOHN C. CALHOUN, the Republican will advocate his claims to tlie nomination of the National Conven tion. These claims will lie cnlitrced w ith due respect to the preferences of others, and the cordial support of this press will be given to the Nominee of a Conven tion so assembled as to he general, and so constituted as to give a clear expression to the will of the majority. The Petersburg Ri publican will, as heretofore, be published three tunes a week, at Five Dollars per an num, aiways payablSin advance.

PROS P R C T U S OF THE SOUTHERN QUARTERLY REVIEW. This work has now been a year before the public, during* which period its reputation has been so suc cessfully established, and its circulation so widely extended, as to justify the hope and belief that it will long continue to be one of the principal organs of Soiulicru 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 which will not soon he forgotten ; the Southern Quarterly ha3 risen, af ter many toilsome efforts, from its ashes, and it b trusted that it will prove itself a worthy successor if the glory of the former. Nothing more is now re quisite to ensure its permanence than the continued and cordial support of the inhabitants ol the South ern portions ot the Union; and an appeal is confi dently made to the generous and patriotic feelings of all Southerners, not to suffer the present Review to languish from the want of that sustenance which they can so well afford. In its political character this Review will be Dem ocratic, and while avoiding carefully schiind merely local in their nature, it will strenuously uphold South ern Interests, and advocate all questions of national importance with boldness and freedom. It is not in tended, however, absolutely to exclude all articles maintaining principles difleYent from our own; but if otherwise worthy of admission, they will be inserted w ith a notice that the Editors do not hold themselves responsible for the doctrinek alleged. All religious discussions of a sectarian nature will be scduously eschewed, and the Review will preserve a perfect impartiality towards all religious denominations. Tire 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; andariange* ments have been made, since its remobal to this city» to insure the regular and punctual of every number a3 it appears, so that no disappointment tnay hareafter arise from any failure in this respect. Mr. Ritchie having withdraw n from the work, the Subscrher, in order that more time and attention may he devoted to its improvement, and to the accu racy arid excellence of cacti number, has associated with himseH in tire Editorial management of the Review, that distinguished scholar, G. F*edebic* HoLMfcs, Esq. of Orangeburg, and every effort will be made on the partol both to give every satisfaction to its patrons. Inconsequence of the removal of the Soutn* rn Review to Charleston, and the reduction in the cx* pensesof printing and publishing attendant thereon, the price of the work will henceforward be reduce from Ten Dollars to Five Dollars, payable annual 1 ) in advance. The fifth number, which will coni* mcnce another year, will appear early it* January, 1943, for which abundant material have been already procure and. Many of the best writers end most p ro ' found scholars of the country have already pledg'd themselves to furnish articles for the ensuing year, and the list of contributors is daily increasing lo talent, in respectability and in number.
