-4IIIUVJL OF THE CREDIT WES
TERN.
Fight days later fson. Europe.
The steam-ship Great Western, Cap
lain Matthews, from Liverpool, arrived at
her berth in the East River, about lu o’-
clock Saturday evening.
By this arrival we have our usual files
of papers from London up to and inclu
ding the 11th instant, Liverpool papers ol
ilie 12th, Paris dates of tiie 9th, and Dub
lin and Havre dates of the 10th.
The Western brings 139 passengers.
She has had favorable weather —made
the passage in fourteen days and 13 hours.
The wheat markets of London and Li
verpool are inactive. By the average re
turns ofthe kingdom, made up to Thurs
day, the duties remained uualtered. Pre
vious rates have been reluctantly paid.
The cheese which came to hand by the
Great Western was in excellent order,
and sold readily at the quotations. In
deed, so growing is the feeling in favor of
American provisions generally that it
pr anises to become one ofthe most tliri
■v ig trades between the two countries.
The vessels now sailing for Hmerica,
t, *es but few goods. Shipments being
few, freights are consequently low.
In American bond* there has been but
little doing, and they remain unaltered in
value.
Money has been in increasing demand
—first rates bills are two and a half to two
and three quarters, and others three to
five per cent.
Mr. Marble, the American Comedian,
continues to grow in favor with (he Cock
neys.
Pending the visit ofthe “Citizen King*
to his Royal Sister of England, news has
arrived from Tahiti of some additional
indignity which the French had put upon
an English officer.
The affairs of Tahiti are reduced to |
their relative importance; they have noli
ceased to excite regret, but they do not a- i
waken any fears of a warlike character, j
Anew charge has been brought by the
times against Mr. Gibbs, the Lord Mayor
elect for the city of London, for having
mal-appropriated funds which came into
his possession asexecufor under a will.
The lady ot Mr. Pritchard, late British
Consul at Tahiti landed in Cove on the
3rd instant from llie Cape Breton, Kerr,
master from Valparaiso.
The accounts from Berlin, state that
tiic King had given a dinner, to which
were invited all the grand dignitaries of
the Christian churches, and also thegrand
rabbi ol the Jews. This is the first time
that a rabbi has had the honor conferred
on him.
Thursday was kept by the congregation
at St. Bride’s Church Liverpool, as a day
of thanksgiving for the Lie abundant har
vest.
of the most remarkable features ot i
the daV is tfid speculation which is now
going forward in new railway projects,;
and of the numberand extent ot these pro
jects, the crowded co.'uimis of the Lon
don nad country papers nu'>rd d*uly evi
dence. It has been staled by persons
practically acquainted with the sgbj-ct,
that the railway acts obtained from ti.'*
Legislature during the last session of Par
liament will require for the completion of
the undertakings within a trifle of twelve;
millions sterling—sixty millions of dollars
but if all the parties who propose going to
Parliament in the next session, succeed at;
least six limes that amount of money will
be abstracted from the ordinary channel..
of trade!
Speculation if of course rife as to the
subjects which will engage the attention
of the batch of politicians who are now
enjoying the Queen’s hospitalities in her
favorite residence; but probably nothing
beyond speculation will transpire. Isa
more cordial and friendly feeling is likely
to Sjsring upon the part of the French to
wards the English people, the visit will
not have been in vain. Every event, how
ever, in a free country, is made to bear a
political impress, and there is reason to
apprehend that the stability of M. Guizot's
cabinet will not be increased by bis ac
companying the King.
Some of the London Clubs have adop
ted, it is said, at the suggestion of the Rev.
Sidney Smith, the plan of rejecting for
complimentary admission or as members,
the citizens oi the repudiating States iu
America.
Charles Kemble has returned to
Manchester, to complete a second engage- i
ment at the Athenaeum of that town.
The English Churchman, a religious'
publication of the traclarian school, thus)
notices the Queen’s appearance at the vil- j
lage church of Blair Athol. Her Majesty
has for the nonce turned Presbyterian.
This may be good policy, according to
Lord Aberdeen’s notions, but it is bad
eburchmanship.
The accounts from the manufacturing
districts present nothing striking. Busi
ness is certainly not worse. In Manches
ter rather more activity prevailed on the
last market day, and prices were looking
up. Not the least cheering feature is the
revenue return for the quarter ending
Thursday, which is the most gratifying
character.
It is consolatory to find that in the Posi
Office, the great accumulation of pennies j
has advanced .£32,000 on the year, and;
no less than «£40,00$ on the quarter.
Mr. Cole, Vice-president of the Total
Abstinence Society, Washington, has been
delivering lectures in favor of temperance 1
in Liverpool, lie is about returning toj
the United States.
The vessel having on board the Roman
Catholic Bishop, the Nuns and others,
which sailed some time ago from Brest
for the Sandwich Islands, had not arrived
at the date of the last accounts. Rumors
prevailed in the South Seas that she had
foundered off Cape Horn.
On the Stk inst. Dr. Svmons, who w as
opposed by the Puseyites, was elected
Vice Chancellor of Oxford University by
a majority of 882 to 189.
The tfnzzetie of Tuesday nolle#* the
further prorogation of Parliament from
Thursday, Oct. 10, to Thursday the 12th
of December.
The Journal de Havre of the sth Inst,
mentions the deathjof Mr. Gordon, the
British Consul at that place.
The Papal government has rejected the
proposition of an English company to con

Six miles of atmospheric railway, from
the Dartmouth Arms to Croydon, will, it
is expected, be ready in May mxt.
The Hugsburg Gazette mentions the
probability of a matrimonial alliance be
tween Prince George of Cambridge and
the Grand Duches* Olga of Russia —one
ol the results of the late Journey to Eng
land ol the Russian Czar. The young
prince is heir presumptive to the crown!
of Hanover.
The arrival in England of Louis Phil-*
iippe and his minister, M. Guizot, on a vi- I
sit to Queen Victoria, is the primary at-j
traction of the week. The reception j
which the French monarch experienced
at landing was hearty arid fervent; and j
from the time of his selling foot on British]
soil, until he found himself in the royal I
apartments of Windsor Castle, his progress 1
resembled an ovation.
Whether the visit will add to the popu- I
larily of Louis Pliillippe amongst his own ]
subjects is questionable; but no doubt ex-■
isls that it will encrcnse the number of his '
well-wishers on this side the channel.
THE BIBLE AND THE CONTINEN
TAL CONGRESS.
The following extract 1 was permitted
to make from an oration delivered on the!
4th of July last, by ProfessorG. W. Ben
edict,of the University of Vermont. The
facts in relation to the Bible were new to
me, and I presume will be so to many of
your readers. Recent discussions have
given them interest and importance, and
I hope you will find a place for them in'
your paper.
“Every one at all acquainted with the]
history oi*the Revolution, remembers the!
stirring events ofthe summer of 1777. Ti-
O j
condeongu had fallen into Ibe hands of]
the British, with the capture ordestruc-j
tioti of a large, amount of military stores;
land means of war. Burgoyncwas pas-]
[sing down with a great force to j in the;
[forces of the enemy which had possession ;
ofthe Hudson. The unpropitious battle
of Brandywine was fought, Philadelphia
v as threatened, and indeed fell into the
power es the enemy, and Congress was
!obliged to leave that city and its vicinity
!to avoid being made prisoners. All this
i was before the end of September. Indeed I
they passed a resolution to adjourn, if it j
[should be needful, on the 14th of that'
|month, and they left the city precipitate-]
|!v in consequence of a despatch from Gen.!
j Washington, intimating the propriety of;
[doing so, which came to hand after ad
journment on the 18th. They convened
'the ne>’t time at Lancaster, from which
place ti'.'ey again temoved their sessions;
| to York, slii. 1 further in the interior of Penn- i
j sylvania. 1 mo.''li''n these circumstances
<oilv to bring clear ly before your minds!
ihe darkness of that iiOUf, and that all
may realize that the transaction which 1
| was about to relate, was not of an >“.e ’I 10 *,
'incut,when Congress could find noib'ivg;
j else to occupy their thoughts with. On!
[the lllh of that month, a despatch was]
brought to Congress, that the enemy was
advancing not much over a day’s march
from Philadelphia, and the general action
of Brandywine actually began before night
that same day; yet the most noticeable item
of business on the journal of Congress
for tbat day is a report on the subject of
j supplying the countty with Bibles, llteon
] ly alternative proposed being the importa
tion of types and suitable paper for an edi
] Lion of thirty thousand copies, at an esti
mated cost (>110,2721 10s., with consider
able hazard and delay, or the purchase a-1
broad of books already made. “The use ]
ofthe Bible,” says the committee, “is so!
universal, and its importancesogreat, that;
that your committee refer the above to the;
consideration ol'Congress, and if Congress:
shall not think it expedient Poorder the'
importation of types and paper, the Com-]
mitloe recommend that Congress will or-;
der the Committee of Commerceto im-l
port twenty thousand Bibles from Holland
Scotland, or elsewhere, into the different j
ports oft lie States ofthe Union.” “Where-]
upon,” continues the journal, “it was mo-'
veil that the Committee of Commerce he
directed to import twenty thousand copies
ofthe Bible,” which was determined in
the affirmative by a vote of more than two
to one of all the delegates, and about three
itooneof those then present. In 1752
was published the first American edition
of the Bihle. A memorial on the subject
by the publisher, Robert Aitkin, was pre
sented to Congress in 1731, which was re
ferred to a committee. Their report, in
j which they speak of having given their
i personal attention to the progress of the
! work—the modest but commendatory re
! port of the chaplain ofCongress, under the
direction of that Committee, or rather in
conformity to this eainast request, scruti
nized the accuracy of the printing—and
the action of Congress thereon, are spread
upon the journal for September 12, 1752.
The result was a resolution of Congress,
recommending the edition to the inhabi
tants of the United States, and authorizing
the publisher to publish their recommen
dation iuthe manner which he might think
proper.”
ADVICE TO MAIDENS.
That classical song which commences
with “O take your time,Miss Lucy,” has
proved very disastrous to young ladies
who have been controlled by it. Every
rhing is done iu a hurry in this world ;
therefore get married as quickly as possi
bl*. Husband* are like bird*, it you
don’t bring them down at once, they are off.
] Love i* an idea: beef is a reality.—
I The idea you can get along without; the
I beef you must have. I>o not, then, allow
'any refined sentimentalism to interfere
with what judicious and calculating pa
rents call an advantageous settlement,
i Young girls will have twinges of the
heart-strings, we know, but these are like
other complaints incidental to youth, they
Igo awav suddenly without any bad ef
fects. Dyspepsia often produces melan
choly, which is attributed to disappointed
.affections; but bran-bread and apple-sauce
will speedily remove this complaint.
Some girls have imaginations so lender
that they believe themselves in love with
every man who says a civil word to them.
These unfortunate creatures should use
the shower-bath every morning, and take
frequent exercise on horseback.
Romance should he confined to circu
lating libraries and boarding schools; it is
well enough in these places, but out of
them it is sadly in the way. It is very
apt to take bread and butter out of one’s
mouth, and it is a curious fact in ‘physics,’]
that though love causes the heart to swell,
it never fills an empty stomach.
If a man falls in love with you, instead
of ascertaining the color of his eyes, find
out the length of his purse; instead of!
asking his age, get a list of his effects. 11]
these make a goodly appearance, never]
mind his looks, but conclude the bargain
at once. You will learn to love him when
you feel the necessity of such a passion.
In the meantime endure him.
There used to be man}' Alonzos and
Melissas in the world, and there was
much misery in consequence. Now-a
ilnys, people are more sensible. They
have an eye to the real; they are matter
of fact, and see more substantial comfort
in a well-furnished home, than a dozen
sonnets; more beauty in a bountifully sup
plied table, than a score of love-letters.
All this betrays a good deal of sound
sense, which maiden’s would do well to
profit by.— Noah's Messenger.
RESEARCHES IN EGYPT.
The Boston Transcript publishes the
following interesting items, derived from
i the private correspondence of Mr. Glici-!
'don, received by the last steamer.
Dr. Lepsius with the Prussian eommis-i
j sion was expected at Philos-—lst Cataract,
—by tbe end of August, having tormina-]
j ted those invaluable explorations of Ethi-]
|opia that have reduced the fabled antiqui-]
ty of Me role Monuments to intelligible
limits, commencing about the 2-slh Dy
nasty, nr 700 B. C. They had opened
one of tiie Ethiopian Pyramids, and found
a few unimportant relics of a modern
dale. The Prussians will remain some
six months at Thebes, to reinspect known
hieroglyphieal data, and to make such
corrections and additions as will probably
{leave nothing above ground undetermin
ed. When Thebes has been satisfactori
ly concluded, they will descend to Cairo,
iand execute Heliopolis, where the rise ol
j the alluvial soil has covered immense re
mains. Sometime next year the party
will proceed to Syria and thence to Asia
Minor, to search lor the tablets recording
.the Asiatic victories of Sesostris, three of
j which are known to exist.
The Russian government had commen
jced its labors among the tombs around
the Pyramids of Memphis. They will
(copy Egyptian monuments along (lie Nile
;up to the 2d cataract. Mens. Prisse, a
[gentleman who has resided eighteen years
;in Egypt, the last ten of which have been
.(Jeyoted to monumental researches, lias
JbfcPgb* bas-reliefs of the famed gen
ealogical .chamber of Karnae, to Paris,
and presentee them to the French govern
ment. The Sceti“ in this chamber rep
resents Tliotmes B. (Rossellini’s Chro
nology—B.C. 1740) Oi?eilog to fifty-eight
of his Pharaonic predecessors, the ar
rangement of which is yet a ,py?tery un
solved. As the reward of the n.hofS of
Mens. Prisse. the munificent French gov
ernment is about to send liitn hack to tliCi
valley of the Nile to prosecute his hiero
iglyphical explorations fir three years—
[and he was in London when the Acadia!
I left, making preparations.
1 The French Royal Academy has pro-1
posed a gold medal for the best disserta-’
jtion on the Dynasties of Manetho, which
! will excite the keenest competition among
] hieroglyphieal savans; and great will be the
; laurels of time, who comes in second best. 1
The Syro-Egyptian Society of London 1
] is in full activity, about to publish tablets, [
i inscriptions, &c.
Tbe profound Sinalogue, Hierologist, j
and universally erudite scholar, Birch, of;
the British Museum, corresponding se
cretary of the Archaeological Institute of!
Rome, had completed his researches on!
the language and writings of the Egyp
tians; and, if Lepsius ami Panthier have)
llie honor of" establishing wbat may be
termed the ‘organic hiws’ of human pro-]
gross in the art of writing, to Birch will]
be the merit of determining the various
ages of its advance in Egypt, from the!
earliest pictorial sign to the introduction
and exclusive adoption of purely alpha-!
helical characters, such as we now use.
Mr. Osborne, of Leeds, author of the
“Antiquities of Egypt,” illustrative of the
| sacred Scriptures, was progressing with
his researches into early hieroglyphica!
geography in elucidation of the Mosaic re
cords. This subject has long formed the
private study of Mr.Gliddon, who informs
us that it opens a vast untrodden field of
inquiry into ethnology, history and geo
graphy. Mr.Gliddon’s occupations com
pel him to defer the publication of his‘
own extensive collections of hierpglyphi- i
cal names with the 10th chapter of Gen
esis, offering strange confirmations of the
science and accuracy of Moses, and he
cordially hails a fellow-laborer in the same
thorny, though intensely curious field.
Mr. Bonoini having accompanied Ma
homrned AH’s two sons in their visit to
Paris, was expected in London to put
forth his recent examinations of ancient
»n.J modern Egypt.

I While on the other hhud it w ill, so far as our Inmi

Constitution, ihercbv ensuring the rights nil tie se

Suffice it tossy, dial ihe Journal will It- a Demo

men and Democratic measures.
; Although the Journal will lie a political paper*
! yet, in order that it may also be agreeable to the
general-reader, its columns will always be open ft* -
i such items of intelligence as will be interesting to'
the Farmer, the M« reliant, the Mechanic, &c. Ag
