Neither poverty nor toil, pain nor sickness, disappointment nor the loss of friend v— neither, norail of tlmse together, have caused so nnnv hours of bitterness iu this sorrowing world, as ill-temper, ft is the scorpion among the pas sions—-its stings the deepest, the most envenomed won i ls that are indicted on human happiness!” "I rather think von are right, Horace,” said Mr. Atkins, after sitting fora few minute, in si lent ahstraetiou—“l rather think you arc right; and if so,” lie playfully added, “1 really sympa thize with you 011 account of Ahby’s unhappy temper!” “Abhy’s unhappy temper!” repeated dir.

Imagine your own wife so disfigured! Is not the picture horri ble ? Who ever imagined .a woman as she should be, without investing her with meekness, gentle ness, patience, forb *aranco as the genuine charac teristics of her se\ ? When destitute of these, she denies her nature—counteracts the very design of her creation!” “But you w ill grant,” said Mr. Atkins, “that some women are horn with much stronger passions than others: will you make no allowance lor these ?” “Not the least,” said Mr. Chauncey. “I have no belief in ungovernable passions. I would as soon excuse a thief for his stealing, or a drunkard tor his. intemperance, as a sensible woman for in dulging a bad temper, on the score of natural in firmity. At the point of danger, a double guard must lie placed. Every woman owes this, not on ly to herself, hut to her friends. She was made to lighten care; to soothe corroded feelings; to console the nlilicted ; to sympathize with the suf fering; and, by her gentle iniluence, to allay the stormy and conflicting elements that agitate tiie more rugged nature of man! Instead of this, shall she permit her own angry passions to be the vvliirl w ind that shall raise the storm ? The woman who docs this, should be disowned of her sex, like those who abandon themselves to any other vicious in clination. An ill tempered man is a tyrant;— but an ill -tempered woman is a monster!” Choice of Xames.—Wc were once acquainted with a couple who made choice of the most noted names of the day for all their children, some half a dozen, and the proud mother of the yong Gracchi, w’ould take every occasion, when strangers were within hearing to“eall the roll” of the “great folks,” in something like the following manner : “You. Martha Washington come here this mo ment and mind Andrew Jackson & William Shak speare while Arthur Wellington helps Napoleon Bonaparte, over the mud puddle, ami then run ■and call your daddy to dinner!” Rather Personal. —A witness was examined before a judge iu a slander, who required him to repeat the precise words spoken.

The Approaching Coronation. —Active prepar- j tinu; are being made for this august ceremony. The etiquette to bo observed on the occasion (tor in the crowning of a female sovereign there are forms different from those which are part of the ceremonial when the sovereign is a king) arc now under the consideration «*f the Huto .if Norfolk antrthe oilier oiticials of tiie Heralds College, it is supposed that the forthcoming coronation w ill outvie in splendor and magnificence even the tar-famed one of George IV -, which, v. iien the : mat number of foreign princes and nobles who re to "race it with their presence is taken in to consideration, seems far from unlikely. The Em peror of Austria will send over 20 Hungarian no blemen (chiefs of ancient houses) and it is rumored iu circles likely to know the facts,that Prussia, Rus sia and Prance will be also represented bv a depu tatioti of their principal noblesse. To add greater eclat, if possible, to the occurrence, the new order, which it has long been in the contem plation of government to institute in place of the viuojphic distinction, now in the gift of the Kin<r oi 'Hanover, will be established, and its first batch of knights created. The crown with which the youthful brow of our sovereign is to be invested will be anew one, made expressly for the occasion, an 1 in its structure very different from the im perial diadem, having no colond stones whatever, the only jewels in it being diamonds of the first wa ter, and the. golileu band, from which the bars spring, representing the national emblems intet wiivii with oak foliage, the fleur-de-lis being total ly omitted. The court trades people are begin ning to tie very busy, the orders for new coronets, velvets, furs, and other paraphernalia of a corona tion being very extensive. Columbus.— We extract the following from a Genoa letter of recent date:—“The real locality of the birth-place of Christopher Columbus Ims not been hitherto known. The biographers of this illustrious navigator, who all agree that he was born in the .Stale of Genoa, differ as to the exact local ity. All doubts on this subject is now r ‘moved. Isnardi, the famous Piedmontese Archeologist, lias discovered in archives of Genoa authentic proof that Columbus was born at Colognetto, iu the repu blic of Genoa. It consists in a letter written by the government of that state, dated 6th November, 1080, to their ambassador, Doria, at Madrid, in wife li the following passage occurs: ‘Christopher i ’ohimbus of Colognetto, an illustrious man, as you ought to know, being in Spain, has ordered bv his wilt that a house shall be built at Genoa, which shall bear his name, and lias instituted a fund for the preservation of this building, etc. etc.” STEAMBOAT MOSELLE. Adoitional Particulars. Thursday, April 20. 1 o’clock, P. M. We have just returned from the scene of horror occa sioned by the explosion, and the account before published, instead of being in the slightest degree exaggerated, (as lias the dreadful reality.) The fragments of human bodies are now lying scatter ed along the shore, and we saw the corpses of many so mang! ’d and torn, that they bear scarce ly any resemblance to the human form. We also ‘•aw several with their heads and arms entirely plown o f ; others with only part of the head destroyed, and others with their lower extrem ities shivered to an apparent jelly. Fragments of the boilers, and other portions of the boat, were thrown from fifty to two hundred yards on the shore some of them having passed entirely over the two rows of building on the street, and a portion of the boilers tearing away the gable end of a stable, situated high up the steep hill, in rear of the hous ses, at least 200 yards from the boat. Other parts of the boat were driven entirely through a large house on the street, entering through the windows on one side and passing out at the other, it ispossf tiveiy stated, that one man was picked up this mor ning on the Kentucky side, having been blown completely across the river. The wreck of the boat lies near the steam Wa ter Works, (about .‘l-4 of a mile below where the accident occurred,) having her chimneys and about half of her upper cabin above the water. A great many persons are employed in gathering the bodies, freight, dec. Only four bodies have to-day been taken from the boat, viz a German woman and her 2 children, and another small boy. The num ber of dead and mangled bodies, altogether, that have been recovered, is about twenty, as nearly as has yet been ascertained. A number of persons, severely wounded, have been sent to the hospitals, but whose names we have not heard. One young man by the name of Edward Sexton, from Con necticut, wc saw in a neighboring house, dreadfully scalded ; but Ills physician thinks he will certainly get well. The lower deck of the boat is yet entirely tinder water, and when the boat shall be raised, a very large number of persons, it is expected, will be found. There are no doubt more persons lost than we stated. We conversed, a while ago, with Mr. Broadwell, the agent of the boat, who says possi tivelv, that thine were ninety-five deck passengers, and thirty-five cabin, whose names w'ere entered on the boat’s register at Pittsburg, Wheeling and other towns on the river above this place, for Louis ville, Ft. Louis and other places below. Here then are one hundred and thirty passengers that must have been on board, exclusive of the very large number who took passage at this place. The boat was unusually crow ded, and Mr. Broadwell thinks the w hole number on board, at the time of the accident, cannot be hut little, if anv, short of Til KKK HUNDRED persons!—From the host information we can gather it does not appear that more than 30 or 40 of this number are known to have been rescued. It is therefore probable, that the w hole number drowned or destroyed is some where in the neighborhood of TWO HUN DRED < >K TWO HDNDRED AND THIRTY o. x IOR 1 \ PERSONS ! It is impossible that any accurate detail of the dead and missing can ever he made, or the precise number ascertain ed. Avery large portion of them were deck pas sengers, w hose humble sphere in life, will preclude the possibility of finding out their names. Cincinnati Whig. BlocX'ade of 'M-cx iran. Ports.- The Mexican gov ernment now finds itself in an awkward predica ment, with an inexorable creditor thundering at its gates for the payment of its just debts, and not a dollar in the treasury to meet the demand.

From the current ot public events which have been occurring for the last- few months, anil par ticularly very recently, which prove beyond all question that Mr. Vau Buren is totally out of the question, in relation to the next Presidential term, we are almost disposed to discontinue our series of facts in further proof of his utter unfitness, for the office, so far as the South has any concern in the matter. So iar as regards Mr. Van Buren and the next picsidency, it would indeed be labbr lost, as a!! danger of such a misfortune to the country is at an end. Bui to stop the misrepresentation on this subject, which some of our cotemporaries in Georgia are still, with a fatuity and recklessness altogether unparalleled, dbqnsed to impose upon the credulous aud uninformed, we shall at least subserve the cause of truth, and do a seiviccto our own,citizens, by continuing the series of such facts and circumstances as cannot be mistaken, and which will effectually prevent imposition up on flic public mind, iti regard to the vital subject of our domestic institutions. The following talk to the Washington Globe, is taken from the Pennsylvania Fan >jvv, an ar rant and run-mad abolition print; but a friend of the Admini tr.ulon, anil an accredited icrit r for t’.io Democratic Review, a review, by the by, got up and sustained by the patronage of the administra tion, aud which finds friends and subscribers in every State i.i the Union, win style themselves Democratic K*. publicans—a mere party tool, got up for party purposes. The facts which this writer so forcibly brings to view, showing the connection of the friends of the administration nt the north with the prevailing and pervading spirit of that region in regard to our do mestic institutions, are so perfectly unanswerable and overpowering, that lie must be something greatly worse than stupid, who after reading them will yet pretend to be unconvinced 011 the point at issue. The candid of all parties, we have no doubt, w ill say that the tacts exhibited settles the question beyond doubt and beyond question, now and forever. We will detain our readers 110 long er from the extract referred to: From the Pennsylvania Freeman. We do not pretend to understand the character of modern democracy better than the Globe, its accreditted ahd official organ. Tiie statements of that paper in regard to the treachery of the great body of “the party” to the principles of old fash ioned democracy, is we fear, too true. But one thing is certain—in its ext reme anxiety to secure the favor of the slave-holding South, it lias over looked a multitude of important facts, tending to show that the principles of emancipation have found a resting place even under the banners of modern democracy. The Globe speaks of the anti-slavery resolutions of the Vermont and Mas sachusetts Legislatures, as Whig resolutions.— Now is this the fact? The Van Buren candidates for Secretary of State and Lieut. Governor of Vermont, were both officers of Anti-Slavery so cieties. The resolutions in question, received the vote of both parties in the Legislature. The two last democratic. Van Buren Conventions of that State, have openly expressed abolition principles. Some of the most active and influential members of the Van Buren party iu the State, are local a gents of the American Anti-Slavery Society.— How is it in Massachusetts ? The Massachusetts Legislature contained last year more than 200 Van Buren members; of these only sir voted against the “firebrand” resolutions. The Senate even went beyond the House; and the Hon. Seth Whitcinarsh, who headed the Van Buren clecto rial ticket was one of the most eloquent and able advocates of abolition at its board. Hon. F. Bow man, another Van Buren member, said that he be lieved the resolutions would be the means of dis solving the Union, hut that he should nevertheless give them his ro.e. Was the Editor of the Globe, aware that the and an Buren candidate for Congress in Boston, at the last election was Aniasa Walker, a man almost as notorious for his Abolitionism as Win. Loyd Garrison? Did be know that the Hon. George Bancroft, recently appointed collec tor ot the port ot Boston, lias long been an aboli tionist—and that on the fourth of July, 18.16, he maintained the incendiary doctrine before the as sembled democracy of Hampden county? Has the Editor read the letters of Judge Morton, Alex ander 11. Everett, and the democratic candidates tortlie Senate, in Massachusetts, to the inquiries of Abolitionists ? Does he know that a large pro portion ot the Van Buren papers of the State, are favorable to Abolition ? “1 hen look at Rhode Island. Who introduc ed a gag law into the Legislature of that State ? A V big—and Dutee J. Pierce, the Van Buren leader in the State, used his influence acainst it. The letter of Pierce, at 1 lie late election, to Win. M. Chtice, Secretary of the anti-slavery Society, is lull ot ultra “fanaticism,” and would condemn him before any court of Judge Lynch. Even Gov. Hill of New Hampshire, who bears about his own person the democracy of the State, tells the Abolitionists in a recent letter, that lie is in favor of a State law, contravening the law of Con gress. and granting a jury trial to persons claimed as fugitive slaves. “\Y hat has the Globe to say in reference to the abolition tendencies ol the able organ of the party in New York—the Evening Post? What of the combined democracy and Abolition of William Lffcgett—the ablest delender which has yet ap peared of the Sub-Treasury Scheme? What of r how as Morris, the Van Buren Senator of Ohio, and the only manly advocate of immediate aboli tion at the Senate board ? But enough. \Y e commend the above facts to the Editor ot the Globe, as evidence that tbe Nor thern and Eastern friends of Martin Van Buren, arc not all prepared to be sold in the Southern market—and that however powerful may be the machinery of party, truth is stronger than all.” From the Southern Recorder, Our political opponents of the press in this State, have almost charged the opponents of Air. Van Buren at the South, as abolitionists. How stands the ease now ? How manv slave holding States are for, and how many against Mr. Van Buren. Let us spe. There is against him, Ma ryland 1, Virginia 3, (we have no doubt) North Carolina 3, South Carolina 4, Georgia 5, Tennes see 6, Mississippi 7, Kentucky 8. Leaving per haps to Mr. Van Duren, Alabama 1, Louisiana Q y and Missouri 3. Three for, and eight slavehold ing States against the present administration, Surely, if to go against Mr. Van Buren is to go against our domestic institutions, the great body of the States most deeply concerned iu the mat ter, is most singularly blind to ils own vital inter ests. \Y’c have one question to ask of our cotempo rarv of tbe Constitutionalist, viz: to rejoice at Air. Vau llureu’s overthrow in Y irginia and Ali-- sissippi. does it constitute criminal Whig rejoic ing, übout u’hioU our cotni¥*|».»rury ha« recently SO much complained—or is it rejoicing with our brethren, both in regard to general politics, and especially iu regard to our common interest iu our peculiar domestic institutions? From the Columbus Enquirer. CONGRESS. What they are doing in this uugifft body is rather bevond the reach of mortal ken. The session is far advanced, and nothing, so far as we can discover, has yet been transacted calculated to advance the great interests of the country, or elevate the char acter ol the legislative body. One endless strug gle for party ascendency, one ir-cessant strife for the poor triumphs of an hour, marks the conduct of those whose business it is, at this deplorable crisis, to aid in the advancement of their coun try’s' good. Are men selected from the great body of the people and clothed with the delegated au thority of their constituents for no other purpose than to do battle for particular political chieltaus, whilst the public service is neglected and forgot ten? We put the question, with due respect, to our readers, and would ask them it the services of our own immediate representatives, in Congress for tbe few years past liav • been worth their per diem allowance ? Y’.’hat have tie y done or said, with one or two exceptions, that was worthy the chu.acieror conducive to the interests of the State ? What could they do? Ah, that's the question ? The most of them cox 'd do the bidding of tiie i'i’esi lent and the party, ami follow the scent of the “loaves and fishes,” with wills as good and nose as sure as the pack of a Virginia fox hunter; but beyond this they made no pretensions, and dared not go. A large majority of the Adminis tration members, with the same servility and the same nosedntss after places, and honors, and “loaves and fishes,” have kept equal pace in this race of loss and gain with our miserable crew, and hence instead of originating and perfecting liberal and enlightened measures in this heaviest trial through which the country has passed, instead of taking enlarged and comprehensive views of national pol icy, and reducing the results of a repuclirttn gov ernment, they have frittered away their time, and exhausted wliat little ingenuity their feeble talents could supply, in bolstering up n sinking adminis tration and irritating a suffering people, by petty schemes of low ambition and hollow hearted pre tences at untried expedients. YYith such conduct and such men the nation has become disgusted. So far as this State is concerned, a large p< rtion of her citizens have no just right to complain. In a misguided moment of high political excite ment they discarded their talented and faithful representatives, substituting others destitute ofa bilities, unknown for any thing except devotion to party, and undistinguished for any public service. —These men were selected to carry to Wash ington the delegated democratic principles of their cortituents—implicit obedience to the orders of the President, ami faithful co-workman ship with the service crew around him. They done their work as far as they ha I capacity to un derstand their orders, and rendered the best ac count they could of their faithful stewardship. Notwithstanding all this, their feebleness has been so apparent, their want of capacity so manifest, and the jeers of the country rat insufferable,’ that most of them have retired iu “dignified disgust” and the remainder have.been kick and by their late Convention into the “no bile of next week.”— These tilings were, to say the least of them, ex tremely unkind, and may serve as a warning to the present Van Buren nominees, should they he so unfortunate as to be elected, of what may be their future fate. Hereafter we will endenvor to take n peen at the pretentions of the new candidates of the and emocra cy, in order to see whether the State is likely to be much beuefitted by their election. From the Macon .1 Tcssenger. We notice the following singular article in the New Haven (Conn.) Hearld of May 7th. The purport of this “Cherokee Memorial” is not stated, but can be readily guessed, from the number that have already been sent to Washington. It might be suggested to these memorialists, if it would not be as well for them, and better for the country if they were to attend to their own business, and leave the execution of the laws and treaties, un disturbed to the proper authorities ! But we know tlierc are people in that vicinity, who are not content unless they can have a large share in tlie supervision of their neighbors concerns; and that all advice would be lost on them. For their satisfaction, we can inform them, that the Treaty with the Cher okees is now being put in execution, and will be carried out to tbe let.er—and that these good memoralists will have to walk over Georgia bayo nets before it will be deviated from in the smallest fraction. But few days will elapse before the ra tion will be on their way to the West of the Mis sissippi. It will be seen that the memorialists have but three days grace from the “last day of signing,” to the day when the Indians were to commence emigrating. The same paper also savs that “their country is about to be overrun by barbarians. CHEEROKEE MEMORIAL. Last day of Signing. — Citizens who intend to sign the Cherokee Memorial are desired to call in the course of to-morrow, (Tuesday.) as they arc to be forwarded on Wednesday. Memorials arc lodged at the following places: B. & W. Noyes’ Bookstore, in Ohapol-st. L. H. Young’s Bookstore, Exchange Place. The Athenemn, Exchange Place.

Bradley A: Canfield’s store, corner of YYooster and East street.— Connecticut Herald, The V ashington Spy complains with great justice, of a piece of infamous trickery practiced upon it, most probably by the notorious William Garrison. ! Ins man in his paper pretends that the Southern Spy was sent him, w ith a polite re quest to exchange. The Editor of the Spy puts himsell to the unnecessary trouble of denying the matter; tve say unnecessary trouble, for sure ly the friends of the Spy cannot believe such a charge, and judging by ourselves, we know 'hat the opponents ol the Spy, are sure that it is onlv one of the many falsehoods which issue from the same Mint. Such calumnies can meet with but one feeling in Georgia, by all parties—that of the most sovereign contempt. Our cotemporary of the Spv, as well as its coadjutors of the press, may aud do", (as we think,) unfortunately differ very w ideiy with ourselves and the party with which Ho me associated 011 most political subjects; but on the subject of utter and uncompromising hostility to the incendiaries of the day. th*‘re is but one feeling in Geer., a. and we dare say, fe’t by none in a stronger oegree ihau our Washington cotei.,- porary.— Recorder. Recognition of Tc.iian Independence by En gland— The consequent of ■ t <f Annexation and i,ss to the United States ofthc commerce of thin young imt growing Republic. — We have been lavored with the perusal ofa letter from London, dated the loth of February last, which affords much information in regard to the subjects which head tins article. We would promise that the writer of the letter had every opportunity jf correct information, and that whatever ho says is en titled to the most explicit confidence. It is stated that the most friendly dispositions were evinced by the British government towards Texas. '1 nat the delay in recognition has resulted main ly from the outbreaking of the Canadian revolu tion. Another cause igp.ed for tli<‘ delay, was the expectation that Mexico would have invaded Texas during tbe past winter—the government believing that if ever :m invasion was attempted, it would be at 1 Uni time or never. The writei ev] -a -scs every confidence ot a re cognition this spring, if no invasion bv Mexico should tr.ko place. It is remarked further, that the Radical or O'Connell party, oppose the tic knuwEdgement, of Texiau independence on anti . Every or abolition principles. Thus v.e see that the tnnatieal prejudices which induce the Nortli e 11 and Eastern liiembcrs of the union to oppose tiie annexation oi Texas operate against the Young republic every where—which circumstance should speak volumes to the Southern and slave holding States, it might be demonstrated with logical certainty, that the annexation of Texas is to them iudi.-’X'Usahle; and that upon it derails the permanence of slavery institutions in the South ern States: otherwise,the increasing numbers of northern and eastern bigots, fanatics, abolitionists and pseudo-philaiithopists may and will inflict, iu a few years, upon the slave-holding States, the same injustice which similar measures have wrought on Jamaica and other slavehohling Brit ish 1 esse. 1 ions, viz : abolish slavery and establish the abominable apprentice system. But here we may be wrong. They cannot e maneipate our slaves, but they may cause the next,greatest evil: their vexatious intermeddling, and provocations, and insolence, might force the South to a dissolution of the Union. It is more overstated by the same writer, that whether Tex ian Independence he recognized or rot. commer cial relations are about being established between England and Texas, ou the most liberal policy of reciprocity. This again will defeat annexation. The policy of Texas, being almost exclusively a planting country, will lead to a low tariff if not to an entire system of free trade. Eng'and will then find it to lier advantage to monopolize the cotton of that republic, exchanging lier manufac tures without paving any duty upon them; ami Texas will of course prefer receiving FnTsh manufactures direct from Km.hi-l rather than from this country, after they have paid no average (tuiy ol more than 20 per cent. 'Under these cir cumstances, the advantage of remaining indepen dent, will force itself upon Texas! Her proposi tion to annex herself, will he withdrawn—which will cause to the l . 8. the loss ot the immense •md valuable trad ot v :ti aver—and leave the Southern inc niin ,sos the confederal yto the mer cy of fanatical disors anizevs at the North. Cannot—will not the Northern fanatics them selves be themselves brought to see the importance ol annexation ? and will not the South he untiring and uncompromising in their efforts to promote that object—-or wait till it be forever too late? M e appeal to them on the subjec t with all the fervor ofa conviction resulting from a belief of the indispensable necessity of annexation to the prosperity, if not to the permanence, of our polit ical in: titutions. Application lias also been made, we learn from the same letter, to the French court, through the representative at London, where but little doubt is entertained of the immediate ae knovvedgment of Texiau independence by France. Com. Bulletin. Defence rs Southern Rights.— It has been the unanimous warning ot the Southern members in Congress, that the South has t< o long slum bered over the volcano ot Abolitionism, which had been secretly planting its fire under the foun dation of our republic.
