From the European Magazine.
Translation of t Manuscript found in ■ case
containing a Human Skeleton:—
Behold this ruin t 'twos a skull
Once ofetherial spirit full!
This narrow cell, was life’s retreat!
This space was thought's mysterious seat!
What beauteous pictures fill'd this spot!
What dreamt of pleasure, long forgot!
Nor love, nor joy, nor hope, nor fear.
Have led one trace, or recurd here!
Beneath this mouldering canopy,
Once hung the bright and busy eye
But start not, nt the dismal void!
If social love Dial eye employed,
If with no lawless fire it gleamed, ,
But through the dciv ofkiiuliiBSs Learned
That eye shall bo forever bright
When stars and situ* lure lost their light.
Hare in this silent cavern hung
The ready, swill, and tuneful tongue,
if falsehoods hotiev it disdained,
And where it could not praise was chained
* Ifbold in virtues cause itspoke,
Yet gehtle concord never broke,
That tuiiBfiil tniigiio shall plead for thee
When death uuveiUetcinity.
Say, did there fingers delvo the mine
Or with its envied rubies shine I
To hew ilia rock, nr wear the gem
Can nothing now avail to ilieuir
But if the page of truth they sought,
Or comlbrlm the moutiier (nought.
These hands a richer meed shell claim
Tlmu all that wuiis on wealth or fame.
Anils it whether hare or she d
These feet the path of duty trad.
If Horn the howersorjny they fled
To soothe ufiliction's humble bed.
If Grandeur's guilty bribo they spurned,
And homo to virtue's lap returned t
Th-so feel with Angel's wings shall vie,
And tread the palace of the sky. V.
"hunting IN I NO!A.

Hawking iu India. In those who are not bent
upon the extermination of beasts of pfey. is one
of the must exhilarating tilings in the world, nod
the eport is peculiarly suited to lumijiiiie partici
pation. To holies, hog hunting isofcourse quite
outjoflhe question, end (here ore few whose
nervescould stand against the terror and carnage
of an expedition ngaittsl ligers, to snv nothing of
the fatigue to be encountered in n chase which
Iroquemly lasts four hours under e burning sun.
Hawking, where there is less excitement, may
lie relimpiiahed at pleasure, and the pursuit of
game leads the puny into wildernesses far remo
ved from the dwelling of man. The aylvnn den
izens of the aoi! are seen in their native hanntsi
the majestic nylghau, roused at the approach of
intruders, scours across the plain.'or crashes
through tiie honghaafa neighboring thicket:
holds of antelopes are span grazing, nnd at eve
ry step the elephant puts up some beautiful bird
•r some strange and interesting uuimnl; wolves
and faeari may lie delected stealing utrion mare
secluded covert, whilst the porcupine mtera its
shrill cry of alarm, and tin monkey gibbera at
the pax-irig pageant.
Wild geese afford the best »port; they soar
exceedingly^ high and frequently hid defiance to
th« fiilcmi’* adventurous wings. Smaller birde,
partridge* especially, have tin chance of escape,
and wh«H appearing on the edge of those batin'
like volley#, which so frequently diversify the
plnin* of India.their capture inteenio great advan
tage from the back of an elephant, as the tpecln*
tot can look down upon the whole scene ; and
following the flight of the hawk along the steep
where the frightened partridge hnrrie* for shel
ter, observe the fatal precision ofhsaim, and see
him pounce directly on the victim, which he
bears to th r falconet in his claw. In some parts
of the. country, the largest description of the
hawk is trainel .*> the chase, nnd its murdeioiis
talons are directed against antelopes and the
smaller kinds of deer ; itjlari* at the head of the
quarry, blinds nnd confuses it with its flapping
wings, team it with its beak mid claws, and final
ly succeeds in depriving it of life. This is not.
however, a cnjnmon exhibition, and is seldom
witnessed except nt the courts of native princes.
Hunting with cheetahs (leopards) is more com
monly practised; but though the manoeuvres of
the cat-like pursuer are ezcdedingly curious mid
interesting, as they rievelope the nature and ha
bits of the animal, there is nothing noblo. gener
ous, or exhiliraling in the sport. The cheetahs,
f looded like haws, are secured by n slight harness
o.n -platform fastened on a bullock-cart; the
beeper holds the beast in his hand, and those who
wish to obtain a good view, of the chase, take a
seat beside the driver.
. Antelopes, accustomed to the sight of Lu'locks, I
will permit them to make a much nearer ap
proach than any less familiar animal. When the
carts have arrived at a prudent distance from
the herd, the driver halts, the cheetahs are un
loosed, and espying (he herd, they drop silently
from the vehicle, taking care to clioose the con
trary side from that oil which the deer are feed
ing. They, steal, crouching along the ground,
•ereeninj’ themselves behind every bush, hillock
or tuft ot glass which may occur in their way,
. pausipg occasionally when there seems to be a-
Djr danger of ally, prerfiuture alarm; each has
singled out his victim, and measuring the dis
tance with an experienced ey *,tl:ey dart forward
with a sudden bound. Two or three springs
■ insure success or disappointment; the victor a-
lights upon Ins prey. But if a threatened ante
lope should have the good fortune to escape the
first attempt, no second attempt is made ; the
cheetah returns growling and in ill humor to his
keeper; hehni lost his advantage, and sullenly
relinquishes a field which must he won fairly by
strength and-speed.
The poorer class of natives, who take up the
, occupation of hunters for their o w n subsistence,
or pecuniary emoluments, sometimes avail them
selves of the services of a bullock in approach-
• . ing within shot of a herd of antelope*. Theirs
isa tiiutter of business, not of excitement, and
they have no idea of allowing o chance to the.
:;' t) objects of their pursuit. A bullock is carefully
trained for the pn/pose, and when his education
is completed, ho makes a quiet entrance into the
j tingles, followed closely bv his master, who
contrives to screen himself completely behind
the animal. The bullock grazes carelessly as
he advances, making circuitous nnd apparently
unpremeditated movements; at lust he arrives
• at a convenient dUtanco without having disturb
ed the unconscious herd; he thou stands still,
the shikaree, or hunter fixes his clumsy match
lock along the b»cl$ of the animal, nnd still uu-
veen* takes unerring aim; down drops the devo
ted aiitelupft, nnd away fly the rest of the herd,
dispersed and out of sight fit an instant. .Euro
peans rarely witness this kind of sport, if such
it may jm culled; hut it sometimes fulls to the lot
of a solitary traveller, who froni some elevation
obtains mi extensive view over a Wide plain, to
have an opportunity of winching the singular
innhceuv/e^tfiufk*yodUy thwdtmrr and u.ieoutb
euu
Whew the weapons nt baud nro luefficknt
for open wirftii%» Minngzms um»l supply the
dace of more genetons hostility? and oven An
glo Indians are sometimes compelled to adopt
native arts, and when the nssistanceorelephants
cannot bo procured, they will cnndescehd to lay
a bait for a tiger, and sit patiently in a tree until
tho fieite animal shall repair to his evening re
past, and then they can shoot him while, In Ian*
cied security, he is indulging his appetite; others,
disdaining such imwarlike defences, will en
counter a tiger singly on horseback. This i* or
course a very difficult and dangerous enterprise;
few steeds, however noblo. can be brought to
fnce nn enemy of which they entertain an in
stinctive dread. The vicinity of a tiger is often
discovered by the distress and terror exhibited
by horses, whichevqn in theirstablelhave known
to fall into fits of trembling and perspiration,oc
casioned by thoir secret conviction that their loo
la at head; and when a horse is found suflicient-
ty .courageous to encoiuitet so terrible a savage,
the most extraordinary activity, coolness, pro
senco of mind, accuracy of eye and strength or
arm, are necessary to ensure the victory. The
hunter,after pulling up the tiger, wheel* round
him in a circle at full speed, never permuting.
In the rapidity of Ins movement*, a tingle mo
ment for tho final •ptlngt and when the tiger,
bewildered nnd dazzled, offers an unguarded

tiiroua spirits delighting iu thu excitement pro
duced by the wild mid dangerous sports of In

i.MPORTANT INFORMATION.
We lay before onr lenders this afternoon, the
following information which we received lYom
onr Correspondent, by yesterday's express mail.
We would state that whatever may bo consider
ed as to its Importance, it comes from an undoubt
ed source, end such, from the situation and op
portunities of our Correspondent, leuves no
room to question. We are promised weekly re
ports from the same quarter as to passing events
in that city, which we shall not omit to lay be
fore our renders, as soon ns received.
In partial confirmation of the statement of our
Correspondent, ivo extract from a slip from the
office of the New York Herald of the same date,
the following
‘•Specie retains its stand, ns will be observed
below. By tho Oxford cume $30,000 in sove
reigns. the first of the great movement* wo pre
dicted a few days ago. When the news of our
fU'pensiun* shall have reached England, the
flood of coin into this country will be immense.
And all for the purposo of being vested in our
depreciated bank paper, to buy up cottons.—
Tiie amount by the Oxford, wo learn, goes to
Savannah."
“Nkw York, 11th July—3 P. M.
"Stocks have fallen in consequence of tho
news from England. U. S. Rnnk Shares open
ed to-day at 110, and closed at 106£, fur account.
All other Stocks have suffered ut proportion.—
8pecie commands a steady price. Mexican dol
lars HI. Utile has been done to-day in coin,
however.
"Heavy speculations are abont to bo opened
in the Cotton business, South. Tho Oxford
brought out $30,000 in Sovereigns, to be ex
changed for Georgia money, and to be sent to
yonr City, for investment in Cotton. The next
packets will bring out large amounts for the
sanio purpose. By this timely notice, holders
may be enabled to defeat those schemes, and get
n fair price for their Staple. Bo assured that n
dead set will be made by these speculators on
S ivannah. No other news of moment. Wull-

A CUD FOIl TJIE ABOLITIONISTS TO
chew.
The Montgomery Alabama Journal of the 12th
nut. says—"A negro belonging to a gentleman
offthis place, returned to his master, on Sunday
evening last, after an absence of twelve tears.
He states that he was enticed away by a white
man, who carried him to Cincinnati, Ohio, where
hs has been living ever since as n freeman and
in a most miserable condition; and he (ms now
voluntarily returned to his owner fully satisfle
of the humbuggery of Abolitionists' declarations.'*
ID* We learn (says the St Louis Republican,)
that drafts from the Secretary of tbe Treasury
for the third instalment of the surplus money,
to which MissouriisentiUed,hnve been received
by the proper officer at Jefferson. They are
drawn upon the Commercial Bank ofCincinnaii
and the Lawronceburg bunk of Indiana; and
the alternative is left to the State to take paper,
in case specie cannot be obtained, or to suffer
the draft to go to protest. #
fly The Tollahasae Floridian of the 8th inst,
says—"An express from San Pedro arrived last
evening, with despatches to the Governor, from
Capt. R. D. Bradley, commanding the Madi
son county troops, giving an account of a spirit
ed scout made by a party under his command,
from the 29th ultimo to the 3d inst., in pursuit
of a band 6f Indians which had crossed the Su
wannee, and been plundering the plantations
and stock of the settlers in Madison. Tbe Indi
ans were closely trailed acrosa the Suwannee
several miles, and three different parties attack
ed. In every instance the Floridians whipped
them, and forced them to fly to the hammocks.—
Capt. B. recovered considerable of the plunder
ed property, retook several cattle, mules, «&c,
and captured several ponies and packs. Two
Indians were killed and scalped, and it is known
several others wero severely wounded. The
notorious anil cruel chief John Hicks, the mur
derer of Mrs. Wallace and her family, it
thought, Iras met his just fate. Several of the
party fired upon and badly wounded on Indian
greatly resembling him, bat he escaped into a
hammock, anil could not be found. Fortunate
ly, none ofCapt. B's. command received injury
from the Indian rifles, although Mr. A. Good-
win had his horse shot from under him, and was
hurl by his fill. Capt B. and his officers and
men are entitled to great credit for their gullant-
r m . intrep d ty and activity.

LATE FROM ENGLAND.
On Saturday last wo received slips from our

UNITED STATES.
The intelligence received by the IIimcor, which
arrived here ou Monday, is even uiure unfavor
able than auy preceding nows from America.—
Failures were or daily occurrence, and the whole
commercial community was ill a state of com-
r ilete disorganization. It was decided at a pub
ic meeting of the merchant* of New York, that
a deputation should proceed to Washington for
Uie purpnseof having ah interview with the Pie-
sideut on the subject of the existing distress.—
The deputation was requested to urge upon him
three thing*—the repeal of the "Specie Circu
lar"; the reinuwion, fora time,'ofthe Custom
House bonds; and the necessity of convening
oxirn meeting of Congress in the present deplora
ble state of Uie country. To the first and lust of
these propositions, the President returned a de
cided negative. Willi regard to enforcing tho
Custom Houso duties, ilie President promised to
give the matter his best consideration, and re
turn an answer through the Collector at New
York. Tho I'rcsiden; refused to soe the deputa
tion, und the communications on either side were
made in writing. The apathy of the new Presi
dent bud excited, necessarily, a strong feeling of
indignation ; and, iu truth, the Americans Imve
some reasou to feel dissatisfied. Na govern
ment iu tho world stands in so proud a position
as the American executive—none so uble to re
state effectually the all but bankrupt.statu of the
country’s commerce. While the government is
wullowiug iu useless wealth, and Uio public rev
enue far exceed* tho current expenditure—while
squabble* loud and lengthy have arisen in Con
gress end elsewhere respecting the appropria-
tionof what is termed the “Surplus Revenue,"
it is a lee tie too bad lor the Chief Magistrate of a
great nation to ait quiet and indifferent at the al
most universal rum which eveiy where sur*
rounds him, when he possesses the means, if he
had the inclination, to mitigate its severity.—
Look at the conduct oftlio Bunk of England to
wards tho American houses ill this country—es
tablishments to which she could not fuel favora
bly disposed—ami contrast her disinterestedness
with tho apathy of tiie American President to-
waidi the mislbrtuhei of his own countrymen.
Tp the latter, the comparison is by no means
complimentary. ,
At New York, a run bad commenced upon
tho Banks. An establishment culled die "Dry
Dock Bunk" hud suspended payment, utid an
other, “the Mechanics' Batik" had been juopnrd
iscd. The latter, however had been enabled to
resume. Io this geiioral state of alarm, the
Sha r cs of the United States Bank, which a few
weeks before were as high as 119 had receded
to 101 and were even os low as 96. Cotton and
every kind of produce was totally unsaleable.
This intelligence was considered so gloomy,
but withal so important, that two expresses leu
Liverpool fur London on the'arrival of the Rns-
coe. At the very uiouient the advices reached
the Metropolis, the Directors of the Buqk of Eng
land were considering the propriety of extend-
American
doe ply involved with Am erica—and one of tlio
argelt importers of cotton in this great com
mercial mart—immediately suspended payment.
Connected «a this establishment Is with oilier
firms of more or less importance, wo cannot
view tho consequence* but with feelings of a-
larm. We are now, it is to he feared, only ar
riving at the "beginning of iho end."
Or course the disastrous news from tho Uni
ted States produced nsmious re-oefum on tho
London Stack Exchange; in regard to American
secutities, the new bonds of Uie Bank of Uie U.
States.
These bonds were done on iho l*t, at OP, those
of the Morris Corral ntO^i u 08. •
Slatcqf Trade.—There was n pretty active de
mand for Yarn prior to the receipt of the advj-
ces froiiiAmjYicu on Tuesday morning, which
threw a considerable damp upon Iho market; hut
tho article appears to bo wonted to considera
ble extent for ex pot t; mid It was not difficult to
effect sales on Tuesday, at a trifling reduction
of price. For goods, generally, there Is very
little demand, and most descriptions wero sold
on Tuesday ut lower pricos tlwn wore ever be
fore known. We understand, however; that
there Isafiiir business doing in the country trade;
and the silk manufacture, which had suffered
S rent depression, has now become tolerably nc-

Spain,—Tho new* front 8pain is yet very in
decisive. Don Carlo* and his brother Don Se-
bastion, with the main army, had quitted their
mountain fastnesses, and were moviug south
east. on the liue of the Ebro, threatening atth*
same time Cutnlonla and Madrid. The uvowed
ohjet toftho movement was to dcirond upon
Madrid, from whoich.howver.he i* still at a great
distance, and though a few mounted brigutnls,
like tho bauds of Gomez and Cabrera, may
traverse n country like Spain with great rapidity.
U is n very different business for an army wi.lr
its materiel. At the latestadvices, he had nutsiic-
ccnded in crossing the Ebro; and ou its banks,
it was expected the great struggle would take
place* The Queen’s general* were hastily
tallowing him from the nortltern provinces, one
nn the iftlili nil., Iriharren, with a port of her
forces, overtook him at a towri called iluescu.
and attacked him. Iribarren was beaten off,
himself Iribnrren, in his despatch, says that the
Cnrlists lost 400 men; but, as he does not stnte
hi* own loss, it was probably more considerable.
The action however, seems to have arrostad the
expedition, fur the two princes wore fortifying
themselves on the ground Urey occupied. When
the rest of the Queen’* forces come up, we shall
probubly hear of more decisive events.
St. Skbastiar. Mny25.
Though it whs positively known more than
five days ago that the Cnrhsts had removed all
their artillery from Tolosa.ettd that their force,
in this neighhoihood does not exeeed eight bat
talions, yet Espnrtero, with an overtvhelming
fiirco of upwards pf 20,000 effective troops lias
not moved one pace forward since the 14ur inst.
though his outposts have been estoblshed since
that day nt tho village of Urvieta, only two small

ing and profiting by favorable occasions, ut a
striking peculiarity in the National character, and'
scorns to ho still more peculiarly the failing of
Gen. Espartero. General Evans and Colonel
Wytdo have, iti* said, been strongly urging him
to take advantage of the golden occasion now
offered to him by the absence of Don Sebastian
and the hulk of tho* Cailist army, of getting
possession of the remaining strong holds, aud
completely pushing them outofthisand the con-
tiguons provinces.
Bordeaux, May 29 —The object of Iribnrren
in'attackiug tho Cnrlist expedition nt Huesca
was to draw it into the plain, where his cnvalry
could net with advantage. Without being able
to indicate precisely the direction which the In
fante will take, we shall observe that everything
announces that his first movement win be on
Bnrbosiro, where he will be reinforced by the
Catalonian bands, after which he wilL pass the
Ebro, in thedirection of Alcaniz, where he will
ho joined by Cubrca. It will be only afler hev.

iiig thoir asssistance to the l
i houses, al
ready propped up by them, to the end of the
year. But the intelligence by the Roscoe ap
peared so alarming that they broke up without
coining to auy decision. Two or three day*
have since been spent in profitless discussion,
and the lutest advice* from Loudon, of
Thursday evening say, that then the Directors of
the Bank had parted without agreeing a* to their
future movements. Both the Liverpool and
London packets of the 1st inst. have been detain
ed to carry out their ultimatum. The existing
state of dungs in America ha* produced, on the
London Stock Exchange, a serious re action in
the price of the bond* of the Bank of the United
Stales, recently transmitted to this country.
Since the above was written, wo have ascer
tained that the Directors of the Bank of Eng
land have declined to support the embnrrnxsed
American houses beyond the lime originally a-
greed upon—tiie 1st of June* The Director*
have had several meetings on the subject, and
the Bauk parlour has been the scene of protract
ed and angry discussion. They met, we under
stand, on Thursday afternoon, and, after remain
ing in deliberation fora length of time, adjourn
ed to 6 o'clock, when they again assembled and
continued in deliberation until nfier 8 o’clock,
when they camo to the determination, in conse
quence of tho present critical stnte of the mone
tary mailers, both bore and in the United States,
of withholding any further support from the A-
merican firms, which they hnd previously guar
anteed tostipport for nspecified period. Thnt
period having expired, they were determined
itat to incur uuy further responsibility.
Tho resolution on the part of the Directors of
the Bank of England, had necessarily produced
a great sensation umoug the monied interest of
London, to whom it hud become known. Mr.
Glynn, a London banker of great eminence, im
mediately posted down to Birmingham with the
intelligence, and on his arrival there had tlio
good fortune to meet with a party, of gentlemen
belonging to the Grand Junction Railway, who
had been making an excursion along the line.
The party immeliately proceeded to Liverpool
with the important new* in their possession, nnd
it became known on ’Change bofore the arrival
of the'evening papers. Tho effect of tbm intel
ligence soon manifested itself. An establishment

this country which could adopt, nhder the cir

a purpose, to be looked upon in the most chari
table light, must be set down ns palpably igito

is a marked case of the kind. And we inny ho
allowed to express our regret, that Mr Van Bn-

Of ail the remedies fur "herd times’’ tlinthnvo
yet metotir observation, the best is contained in
tlio following unnnymotis paragraph:
"When yon are obliged' to obtain credit foi
your slock, be very careful to whom you apply
—as a creditor who i> himself “in die screwa,"
may ruin you. Novel gat credit for small sums
—not for any nun in different places—better
otve whet you are obliged to owe at one place,
end tonne man. Everyman to whom you owe
five dollars, will trouble you as much if tint more,
than ilia one to whom you owe a hundred. It is
easier to satisfy one ranit thnn twenty. Give to
yonr best customers only short credit, end when
■I lias expired,coiled promptly. Bedeligentin
your business—faiihful in your word—moder
ate in yuiir expenditures—temperate in'yottr ha.

Resort to Force.—We cony the following well
merited denunciation of a lata pttplic atop, from
a paper that has observed a strict neutrality ps to
party topics and contests, tiie Richmond Compi

worthy of being denounced, we mean riot, ea
may wall bo aupposed, to condemn a body of
pyivnte citizens for declariug that they stand pre
pared tn defend wills arms the acts (however ty
rannical) that they applaud in the government.
What we vehoinentjy condemn end execrate, is
the gross violniionafitll duty nnd of their entire

llteso citizens for being ready to nnsheath the

proceeding, which they and theirs denounce aa

their political opponents.

taken ky certain citizens of Philadelphia, and onr

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. June?.
The demand fur Cotton received a little check
on Monday, ill consequence nl* the gloomy nc-
coiinta received on tiiat day from America! but,
on lha whole, wa have lint] a good enquiry and
stoutly market throughout Iho week, which clo
ses ut nbnut jd advance oil American descrip
tions previous rates for other kinds. As
the rear 1829 is now frequently referred to aa
ilia lowest point recorded of tlio market as re
gards pricos, in comparing tlio quotations and ‘
stock at this period of tiiat year with our present
supply and prices, we linvo only to remark, that
tiro weakly consumption of 1839 was estimated
at 14,331 Lags, and that of Inst year 19,463 bags!
it is needless to observe, thnt f|ie pressure upon
prices during tho former yenr was the result of
a large supply nnd relatively ararJI consumption,
whilst on tlio present intension tlio existing de
rangement of money innttcr* is the primary
cause of our presont low rates; and until this
}to*stire is entirety removed, wa cannot liopa
o Imvo any permanent improvement in the mar
ket. Speculators Imvo taken 9000 American
and 400 Sural! nnd exporters 1900 American,
