Your letter received to-day—couldn't help it: hope you arc satisfied. We are indebted to D. W. Sutherland, Esq., for a copy of the London Times and Supple ment, of the 22d ult. The late hour at which it was received, precludes the making any extracts to-day. We hope, however, to get out something ot interest for to-morrow’s Journal. We are indebted to the Hon. R. M. Charl ton for a copy of the “ Report of the Secretary of War, communicating, in compliance with a resolu tion of the Senate, a recomioisance of the Gulf of California and the Colorado River, by Lieut. Derby.” At a meeting of the Savannah Mutual Loan Association held last night, five thousand dollars of the funds of the institution were sold at prices rang ing from 441 to 47.1 per cent premium We hope our readers will not pass over “Niagara” on our last page. The measure is less smooth and polished than it might have been, but the originality, depth of thought, and strength, which it possesses, amply atone for its inconditeness. By the-bye, while alludiDg to this column, will our read era do us the favor to notice it occasionally. We are trying to make it one of the best portions of the Journal, by discreet, and careful selections, and it will continue to claim our strict attention. Silver Cup Presentation. The Presentation ofa Silver Cup to Wm. L. Clark, Esq., announced in our paper of yesterday, came off at the appointed time and place. We clip the following interesting account of a portion of the ceremonies from the Daily News of this morning : “ The Cup was presented, in behalf of the work inen, by Mr. William Yonge, with the following ad* dress. “ Sirln beliulf of the Mechanics under your im mediate charge, 1 present you with this Cup as a to * ken of their high esteem and regard for you as a gen tlemanjand a Mechanic,and we sincerely hope it may be a stimulus to greater exertions on your part. Do not be despirited because fortune has rfr owned upon you, for she is but a fickle mistress, and may smile upon you again'and restore you to the hearts of those who sympathize with you. Hoping this may be the case, we will patiently await and endeavor to prove by our exertions, we are not unworthy such a foreman To which Mr. Clark replied as follows : “Gentlemen :—Words cannot express the feel ings with which I receive this token of your regard- It is very gratifying, under the peculiar circumstan ces which causes me to leave you. to find the hand of sympathy so freely extended to me. Believe me, that this day will never be forgotten by me, and whenever a feeling of disappointment arises in ray mind, it will be driven away by the recoF t : is of those who have seen fit to present mr this beautiful Cup, as a mark of their favor a m. Our Rook Table. *• The Upter Ten Thousand,” by Charles Astor Bristed. New York. Stringer Sc Townsend, (pa per, 275 pages.) These brilliant sketches of American Society, orig inally published in Frazer’s Magazine, have been collected and bound by Messrs. Stringer Sc Town send. They are crisp, sparkling, racy; strung upon the thread of a story strong enough to connect and bind them together, yet of insufficient interest to depreciate the merit of any sketch by itself. The Upper Ten Thousand was written for the English market, where rapid sales, admiration and encomi um attended it. It has done more towards opening the eyes of Mr. Bull, and counteracting ihe Trollope and Dickens injustice to America, than anything yet printed. We commend it to the lovers of wit, fancy and fashion. Jules Janin has never written anything better, and if Mr. Bristed would only go to Paris, he could mahe a fortune in a very short time as a feuilletoniste. The Panama Herald says that in consequence of the competition between the 6tearae is Golden Gate and Winfield Scott, on their last trip to San Francisco, many passengers were taken at $25 each A voyage of 4000 milesfoi SOS and found !

Marcy and his Command. —The editor of the St. Louis Courier has seen a letter from an officer stationed at Fort Wacuita, Cherokee Na tion, of July 11th, which tully confirms the accounts of the terrible massacre of Captain Marcy and his whole command, by the Camanches.

McClellan of the Engineers, 60 men, 4 officers, 2 citizens and 12 teamsters. Monument of Aaron Burr.— Tito Princeton Whig says that a neat and plaininonurn-nt ble I has beeuerecto l over tue grave ol Aaron Bn wteiy.

Resign Munchausen !“ thy occupation’s gone!” We could easier spend that $240,000 than swallow it. New Article of Import !—Seventeen German babies arrived at New York from Havre last week.

A great improvement—hope to see it adopted in this country. A girl has been fined $5 in New Orleans for kissing a gentleman ! A good subject for astirin the Woman’s Rights Convention. We always thought that kissing was an inalienable right. Query ? Will not this case put u dumper on the practice ? The mail between Nashville and Louisville on the 23d ult., was robbed of $13,000 in drafts, and on the 27th ult. of $30,000 in money, drafts, &.c. Hope it won’t do the robber any more good than a home in some penitentiary. Gold bearing quartz, and native copper have been brought to light in Western Michigan, at the Holland colony.

From the West Indies.— Dates to 15th July.— The penal colony established by decree of Louis Na poleon is exciting some interest—Rozale and St. Jo seph Islands are inhabited by about 1500 transports. This is however, merely a temporary location—the political offenders (?) will be placed on one of the Romire Islands, nearer to Cayenne. Nothing more cf interest. Northumberland Bridge at Sunbury, Pa., has been hurled from its abutments into the river by a violent tornado on the.29th ult. No lives lost.

A letter in the Journal ot Commerce says that the “Peruvian government have authorized the companies to do|SO.” England it seems has ques tioned the right of Peru to sanction the scheme,and tne government have sent a body of troops, a war steamer and an armed brig to the Isiands to protect the rights of Peru. A prospective kettle of fish this what a grasping old chap John Bull is ! Foreign News per Niagara. From the Halifax (N. S.) Correspondence of the Charleston Courier. At a yacht race at Cows the America was dis tanced 2 minutes and 3 seconds by the Arrow. The French papers are filled with accounts of the reception of Louis Napoleon at Strasburg: the most striking thing in the reception was a cavalcade of 1,- 200 peasants, as an escort to 120 car loads of young girls, the prettiest in their respective villages, and dressed in their holiday costumes. Each car was decorated with flowers, aad inscriptions testifying their devotion to the President. All the other cere monies were on the same extensive scale. It is es timated that 20,000 strangers were attracted to Stras bourg by the fete. The Debats strongly advocates the establishment of a line of French tran-sAtlantic steam ships. A semi monthly line is projected to Martinique, terminating in a branch via Huvana to Mexico, and another from Martinique to Chagres. Another line between France, Brazil,and La Plata is strongly recomended. Marseilles papers state that the President will vis‘ it that city between the 15th and 20th September.— It is also stated that he will embrace the opportuni ty of visiting Algiers, accompanied by General St. Arnaud, who will take command of the expedition in the Kabyia. It is reported that soon alter the President’s re turn from Strasbourg, the contemplat’ and modifica tion of the Ministry will take place, by the appoint ment of Droyn de L’Huys as Minister of Foreign Affairs ; M. Turgot, Minister of State ; and Magne, of the Public Works. Turin papers give the particulars respecting the recent arrests in Milan and other cities. About 60 persons were arrested in the province of Mantua, among them the Arch-Priest of Rivia and six other clergymen. The Opinione of Turin mentions the arrest, on suspicion of liberalism, of Count Tancred Mosto with six other young men of honorable families in Tarrera. The warrants were issued, not by t.e Pontifical Authorities, but by a Civil Austrian Com missioner sitting nt Bologna. A letter from Rome of the 10th ult., has the follow ing : “The long pending trial of the Amazarilla brigands who spread terror in th *. late revolution of Lingazala and its environs, has been at last and three of tbe Chiefs have been sentenced to death. “It is state! thatthe Pope is much disappointed with the conduct of the Archbishop of Paris; what for, is not(Known.” A shock of an earthquake, lasting fire seconds, was felt at Spezzia at 9 o’clock on the morning of the 13th. Amichi, a man noted for his ultra-royal zeal, was found dead, pierced with 62 slugs, at Bologna. A letter from Naples, without date, mentions the arrival there of the American squadron, en route for Greece. The Courtesies of Life.— The way to make your self pleasing to others is to show that you care for them. The whole world is like the miller of Mans field, “ who cared for nobody—no not he—because nobody cared for him and the whole world will serve you so if you give them the same cause. Let every one, therefore, see that you do car for them by showing them what Sterne so happily calls, ‘ the small, sweet courtesies of life”—those courtesies in which there is no parade ; whose voice is too still to tease, and which manifest themselves by tender and affectionate look-, and little, kind acts of attention ; giving others the preference in every little enjoyment at the table, in the field, walking, sitting or standing. This is the spirit that gives to your time of life, and your sex, its sweetness. It constitutes the sum total ot all the witchcrfat ot woman. Let the world see that your first care is for yourself, and you will spread the solitude of the Upas trees around you— and in the same way, be the emanation ofa pois-m which kills all the kindly juices cf affection in its neighborhood. Such a girl may be admired for her understanding and accomplishments, but she will never be beloved. Theseeds of love can nevergrow but under the warm and genial influence of kind feeling and affectionate manners. Vivacity goes a great way in young persons. It calls attention to her who displays it; und, fit then be found associated with a generous sensibility, its irresistible. On the contrary,if it be found in alliance with n cold, haugh ty, 6ellish heart, it produces no further effect, ex. cept an adverse one. Attend to this, my daughter It flows from a heart that feels for you all the anx’ iety a parent can feel, and not without the hope whbh constitutes the parent’s highest happiness. Death of Didot, the Printer —II. nri Didot, cf the family whose names are in the imprint of eo many thousand standard French books, recently died in Paris. The Paris correspondent ofthe Intelligen • cer. in his letter ofthe 12th of July, says : “I will conclude my letter to day by a notice of the death ofllenri Didot, one of the oldest and most distinguished ofthe printers and publishers of France. He died at the age ot eighty-seven—the oldest of the famous family Didot, which has been famous during several generations for its eminence in these protes sions. Henri Didot was made a member of the Le gion of Honor for his invention of ihe Polyamatype foundry; and it was he who, ia company with his cousin, designed and engraved the assignats emitted by the Constituent, the Legislative Assembly, and the Convention from 1790 to 1793.” Catholic Bishop of New Brunswick. —The Bu 11b for the consecration ot the Very Rev.

Crittenden has consented to delivers eulogy on Henry Clay ou the 29th of December.— Query ; where at ? Rev. E. G. Wood, in the opening prayer of servi ces at Fairfield, Indiana, after prayer for the General Government prayed for the Governor of the state, and thus for the Legislature : “ And the Lord have mercy on our legislator Spare their lives until they may return to their homes, and then put it into the hearts of the people to keep them there, and return men of temperate habits and sentiments who will do some good.”— N. Y. Post. “ Poor old General Debility,” exclaimed Mrs Part ington, it is surprising how long he lives and what sympathy he excites—the papers are full of remedies for him ” Old Men. —They are indeed long shadows and their evening 9un lies eold upon the earth, but they point towards the morning. Kosftuthiiina. (From Kossuth’s American Speeches.) “Noman, ladies and gentlemen, i9 independent of his fellow-men. No nation, however powerful can be regarded to be independent of other nations. Put the richest, the strongest, the most powerful man, only for a single week, into a position to be exclud ed from all intercourse with the members of his family, his fellow-citizens of the city and country in which he lives, and only look to the consequence. What would become of this man 1 Quite the same is also true in respect to nations.” “Whatever may be the fate of man. one stamp he always bears on his brow—that which the mother’s hand impressed upon the soul of the child. The smile of your lips can make a hero out of the coward—and a generous man out of the egotist ; one word from you inspires the youth to noble re solutions ; the lustre ol your eyes is the fairest re ward for the toils of life You can even blow up the feeble spark of energy in the breast of broken age. teat once more it may blaze up in a noble, u generous deed, before it dies.” “I am like a wandering bird. lam worse than a wandering bird. He may return to his summer home. I have no home on earth ! Here, at New York, I felt almost at hrine. But “Forward” is my call, aud I must part. I part with the hope that the sympathy which I have met here is the trumpet sound of resurrection to my nat’ve land ; I pai r with the hope that, having found here a short, transitory home, will bring me yet back to my own byli ved home, that my ashes may yet mix with the dust oi 1 my native soil. Ladies, remember Hungary, and farewell!” “ When the day arrives that the nations of Europe 6hall be free, then that principle of brotherly Jove, which was restricted to private life, will come in'o the international relations of one country in another; and, therefore, I believe that we, in Hungary and’ Europe, arc now about to struggle, not only for the prinsiples of religious liberty, but’also to struggle in deed for the triumph of Christianity—for I believe that the victory ol freedom will elevate that princi ple of love which is the basis of Christanity—then it will not only be restricted to individuals, but will be the rule lor governments and between nations ” “ When in the mids t of a busy day, the watehful cares of a guardian ange! throw some flowers ot joy in the thorny way of man, he gathers them up with thanks, a cheerful thrill quivers through his heart, like the melody of an jEolian harp ; but the earnest duties of life soon claim his attention and his cares. The melodious thrill dies away, and on he inusteo, and on he goes, joyless, cheerless, and cold, every fibre of his heart bent to the earnest duties of the day But when the hard work of the day is done, and the stress of mind for a moment subsides, then the heart again claims its right, and the tender fin gers of our memory gather up again the violets of j joy which the guardian threw in our way ; and we i look at them with so much joy, we cherish them as the favorite gilts of life—we are so “lad—as glad as j the child on Christmas eve. These are the happiest j moments of man’s life. But we are not noiy, not | eloquent, we are silent, almost mute, like nature in ; a midsummer’s night, reposing from the burning j heat of the day.” i The Failings of Gifted Men. —lt is a singu lar circumstance that many men of genius have ex hibited obvious marks of human frailty. Pope was an epicure, and would lie in a bed at Lord Boling broke’s for days, unless he was told there were stewed lampreys for dinner, when he rose instantly ana came to the table. Even Sir Isaac Newton gave credit to the idle nonsense of judicial astrolo gy—he who tir*t calculated the distance ofthe stars, and revealed the lawn of motion by which tbe Su preme Being organizeJ and keeps in their orbits unnumbered worlds—he who had revealed tbe mysteries ol tbe stars themselves. Dryden, Sir Isaac Newton’s comemporary, believed in the same absurdity. The great Duke of Marborough, when visited by Prince Eugene on the night before a battle, when no doubt the two generals were in con sultation upon a measure that might decide tbe fate of an empire, waj heard to call his servant toac count for lighting up tour candles in his tent upon thcoccasion, and was once actually seen on horse back darning his own gloves. Ilobbes, who wrote the “Leviathan,"’a deist in creed, had a most extra -1 ordinary belief in spirits and apparitions. Loek, the philosopher, the matter-ot-lact Locke, who wrote, and in fact established the decision of things by the rule of right reason, laying down the rule itself—ho delighted in romances and revelled in works of fiction. What was the great Lord Veru lutn ? Alas ! too truly, “the wisest, greatest and meanest ol Mankind.” As for Martin Luther, the relorrner, he was so passionate and unchristian like, that he struck his friends, Mclanctiion in particular, and perhaps would have burned him as readily as an inquisitor in those days would have burned a hero ic, in tbe pai oxyisms of his rage. Cardinal Richelieu, the minister ofa great empire, believed in the calculation of nativities. Sir Thomas Moore burned the heretic to whom in his wrhings he gave full liberty of conscience. Alexander the Great was a drunkard, and slew his triend iu his cups. Ciesar sullied the glory of bis talen ts by the desire of gos erning his country despotically, and died the victim of his ambition, though one of the wisest, most ac complished, and humane ot conquerors. But we are traveling too far back for examples which should be taken from latter times. Tasso believed in his good angel, and was often observed to converse with what be fancied was a spirit or demon, which he declared he saw. Raphael, the most gifted artist the world ever possessed, died at the age of thirty seven,.his constitution weakened by his irregular living. Dr. Samuel Johnson was notoriously su perstitious. Sir Christopher Wren, who built St. Paul’s Cathedral, was a belierer in dreams. lie had n pleurisy once being in Paris, and dreamed that he was in a place wh *re pnlm trees grew, and that a woman in romantic |dres s gave him some dates. He next day be sent for some dat€*s. in the lull belie! of their revealed virtues, and they cured him. Dr. Hally had the same superstitious belief. Melancthon believed in dreams or apparitions, and used to say that one came to him in his study, and told him bid Guynoeus, his friend, to go away for some time, as the inquisition sought his life. His Iriend went away in consequence, and thus, by ac cident, really saved his life. Addison was fond of the bottle, and 19 said to have shortened his days by it. Burns, the poet, was a horrid drinker, and there can be no doubt, wore out his constitution by his convivialty. Goldsmith was a gambler, and the victim ot fraudulence. Prior was the dupe ofa com mon woman, whom he believed to be an angel. Garrick, was as vain ns any woman, and equally loved flattery and Kneller’u vanity was such that nothing was too gross fer him to swullow.
