THE SERENADE.
Last Wednesday night, was one of unusual beau
ty and splendor. A bright, elastic and balmy at
mosphere, sported around the earth. Madam
Luna, from her star-spangled canopy, threw down
upon us a glorious stream of her rich, but mild ef
fulgence. It was a beautiful ior sleep.
It was such a night as Byron, whilst sitting on
the “Bridge of Sighs,” in Venice, and listening
to the chaunt of some romantic gondolier, would
have loved to describe. We enjoyed it. Who
did not 1 Our ctrcets soon became an animated
promenade —for, lured by the enchanting scene,
the philosophic as well as the enthusiastic lovers
of nature, were abroad and revelling in her
charms. The Orchestra of the travelling Mena
gerie of Messrs. J. B. Green & Cos. added to the
enchanting character of the evening. YV e were
retiring'to rest, when the plaintive notes of
*■ Home, sweet Home!” fell in that delightful
and mournful cadence upon our ear, which both
the air, and the words, of that fine effusion, are so
well calculated to umpire. The instruments were
few —(a Kent Bugle, a Clarionet, and two or
three Violins,) but they were in the hands of
masters. They soon attracted an admiring group
of our amateur citizens, who lingered arcuxrd the
accommodating performers, until
Peep’d o’r the brow of the far eastern hills.”
If was then that a son of the “ Emerald Isle,”
known by the insignia of the “ Eaglf. and Harp,”
who had been silently enjoying the performance
of the evening, cried out with true Hibernian hos
pitality, “ Jirrah, Mr, Musiciautrs! will ye. not be
after corning in and welting your whittles, now? ”
They did so— : and the company retired; —not,
however, before we caught an old crony of ours,
(who was never known to read two lines that jin
gled together,) perpetrating a veritable quotation
from Shakspeare.: It was something about
i The man who has no music in his soul,” &c.
COTTON.

From this tabular statement, some data may tfi
had ot the relative produce of the different Cotton
growing states. It will show the flood of wealtf
which the industry and productiveness of the
.Southern States, are continually pouring upon
IS> ew- x ork. It should, at the same time convince
our Northern brethren that their prosperity’ are
materially dependent upon our resources, and that
their best policy would be to advocate their libe
ral and unrestricted commerce.
ROBBERY.
A report, it will be remembered by many of
our readers, has been circulated that our towns
man, Mr. Munroe (now on a visit to Cuba for his
health.) had been robbed. The statement is con
firmed by a letter of recent date from that gentle
man to his friend in this place, which details at
some length the particulars as they occurred.
The substance of the affair is, that Mr. M. and
his lady, accompanied by a guide, were riding on
horseback, on a somewhat secluded road near Ma
tanzas, when they were attacked by two armed
Spaniards; one of whom and Mr. M. had a severe
struggle, which resulted in the wresting from Mr.
M. one of his pistols, which had been ineffectual
ly snapped at the robber. Mr. M’s pocket was
rifled of its contents, consisting of about three
ounces of gold, and some silver. The robbers
endeavored to break into their trunks, but were
deterred by the timely’ arrival of persons, who
were brought to their assistance. The robbers
escaped, and fled to the woods.
MR. WIRT.
This distinguished Jurist, in the case of “ The
Cherokee Nation vs. the State of Georgia,” is
said to have received a fee of Ten Thousand Dol
lars. It would be derogatory to the high charac
ter of the ex-Attorney-General to suppose, that he
promoted the conflict intended to have been waged
against us, through any motive other than that
which springs from equitable and philanthropic
feeling. No one should presume that he would
prostitute the dignity of an enlightened and hu
mane jurisconsult, to the pettifogging resources
of a hacknied barrister. Taking this for granted,
and viewing as we ought to view, the miserable
condition of the poor and persecuted Indians, we
have no hesitancy in saying, (judging from the
eloquent ivritings and speeches of the honorable
gentleman, which so pathetically describe and
deplore their wretched and impoverished state) that
he will magnanimously refund to them the
amount of his fee, with interest! —“O, temporal”
But, seriously—Mr. Wirt must either be ignor
ant that there is such an article as the 11th, to the
amendments of the Constitution of the Uniied
States; or, he must have been actuated, in the
conspicuous stand which he took in the case allu
ded to, by the less,amiable, we will not say, mer
cenary motives of his profession.

AS EVENING SCENE.
“It is the hour, when from the boughs
The nightingales sweet voice is heard;
It is the hour, when lover’s vows
Seem sweet in every whisper’d word.”
’Tvas such an hour, I wander’d forth amaz’d
At Nature’s grandeur—and in rapture gaz’d
Upon the scene, which none but thoughts sublime
Could e’er awaken. If it were a crime,
The guilt be mine, to worship and adore,
The works of nature on an eve like this,
When every spot seem’d consecrated bliss,
And where, in seeking joy, man could not hope
for more.
Hush! hark, what sounds salute my earl
Have I one kindred spirit here.'
’Tis true, but oh! a form so fair,
She’s not of earth!—and yet I’ll dare
To speak to her, and by a name
Of my own world, tho’ it were shame.
Lady! I prythee stay and hear
My melancholy tale —’twill cheer
Perhaps, your bosom’s desolation,
If thou too art a being of creation.
Speak to me, Lady! let our souls unite
in sympathetic union with each other;
Oh, let me not despairingly invite
Compassion for those feelings, which, to
smother
I’ve often tried in vain. Thank Heaven,
She turns! Oh, let me be forgiven.
IVhat does she say]—Jehu! 1 mercy cry—
*T tink you’d know do Nigger by de white ob
de eye”! LOTHARIO.
For the Macon Advertiser.
THE STEAM BOAT.
She walks the water like a thing of life,
And seems to dare the elements to strife.
There is something in the very look of a
Steam Boat calculated to excite peculiar ad
miration. W hether we regard it as the off
spring of an improved genius, or as a mere
every day conveyance, we seldom behold one
without a throb of exultation. To see her
moving onwards, upon the bosom of the pla
cid deep, bellowing forth her short and asth
matic breathings, she seems more like a nat
ural phenomenon, than the triumphant effort
of art. Being completely the abode of good
fellowship and friendly intercourse, her inte
rior establishment presents someting like a
miniature of life. It is here, that the lover
of human character may learn to compare its
diversities, and test the dispositions of his fel
low man, entirely freed from the stiffness and
singularity of affected sociability. Every man
in a Steam Boat is peculiarly at home; and the
odd mixture of different Countenances, and of
different tempers, gives a pleasing cast to the
appearance as well as converse of the motlv
assemblage. There is little distinction in
manners, and still less in the feelings of the 1
passengers. Each regards himself a* a kind j
of helpmate to the sociability of the other, |
and a studious desire of accommodating our
selves to the situation of those around us,
softens down much of that distant politeness,
so prevalent among strange faces. A simi
larity of situation, and an unity of pleasure,
seem to level all distinctions and to assimilate
i all feelings; brings down the proud to hum
i bleness, and exalts the modest to intiiiiaev:
and following still further the dictates cf be
nevolence and friendship, prompts all to that
general effort to please, which takes its rise
in the heart, and ends in the diffusion of its
charities.
I have ever thought that mankind is better
I in proportion as th lr pursuits are assimilated.
i o know that our fellow beings draw the
nourishment of their joys from the same source
h^il^ urse l v ’t s, and to feel that the pursuit of
%jdßheers the prospect of the other, takes
•cßgyßnnqh of the tedium of an otherwise ve
ry troublesome life. This is finely exempli
fied in a Sram Boat.
On ?teppilp( into th:s floating Caravansary,
we at once ljccl the freedom of undisguised
hitt/course, and there is an air of liberal so
ciab’ilijy in every one’s manner, which ren
ders you perfectly at ease. Every fifing around
bears so much the look of gentility andgood
living, that the most capricious temperament
cannot fail to be satisfied. The laughter
loving face of the bluff Captain—the smoky
countenance of the joking Engineer—the im
portant glances of the staid Pilot, Jooki -g as
it the soul ot Paul Jones was imbedded with
in him—the smirking officiousness of the well
dressed Steward—and the still more agreea
ble singularity of the greasy Cook—make you
every way sensible of at once a pleasing com
pany, a quick trip, and pleasant fare.
On looking about you, and catching the
features of your fellow passengers, you be
hold a familiar countenance in every one near
you. Your iuncy pictures a resemblance to
some former friend or associate in every one’s
look or gesture, and you see an imaginary
connexion in every stranger you gaze upon.
You are forcibly reminded that the portly grey
headed gentleman in spectacles, is greatly
like your old Uncle, who used to give you
holyday presents—and the old lady, in the
blue satin headdress, who sets peeping at the
Irish Doctor, is very like aunt Tabitha, when
old Sam Snaggs, the school master, used to
come a courting. You cannot but think too,
that the bright eyed Miss, who lolls on the
sofa, chewing hei fan, strongly resembles a
certain young lady of your acquaintance; only
not quite so fair, and has bad teeth—but, as
for the little Frenchman in the grey coat, he
is the very picture of the old fellow" who sells
snuff at the corner of Blue Bottle Alley.
Your imagination is th is continually help
ing you along in the formation of your ac
quaintances, and you become irresistably set
tled in good company before you arc aware
of the change.
In this way you journey happily onward,
with a mind as peaceful as the calm river that
flows beneath you, and a heart as light and
unconscious as the buoyant atmosphere you
breathe. And when, at last, your fellow pas
sengers begin to drop off, as the end of their
several stages arrive, you feel as if you were
separating from friends whom years had made
valuable- There is loneliness in the mere
idea of parting with even the acquaintances
of an hour; and when the heart becomes dila
ted with the full tide of social feeling, the
pang i3 indescribable which follows the divi
sion of our intercourse. It is thus with life.
Infanc), youth, and manhood, roll on, and find
us surrounded by friends and relatives whose
very existence seems coeval with our ow r n.
T me seems, in their society, to fly upon gil.
ded wings. Your days move merrily on with
renewed pleasures, and if ever noticed, it is
only that we may rejoice at the joys of the
past and anticipate the delights of the future.
But w hen other days bring other changes,
and the associates you loved drop one by one
into the lonesome tomb, memory, at all other
times a blessing, proves then doubly a curse:
and if at all you think of the hour, when
“Slow through the church-yard path you saw
them borne,"
it is only to gaze at the pangs w’hich consume
you, as the flame loves to brighten over the
misery of its ow T n desolation.

Cotton. —The Cotton trade of Great Bri
tain presents an increase within the half cen
tury, wholly unprecedented in the annals of
commerce; and great as it has been, it is sup
posed to be yet capable of considerable ex
tension. The following brief outline may be
sufficient to give an adequate idea of its im
, portance; and those who are more immediate
! ly interested in its details, will have no diffi
culty in obtaining them from the many valu
able statements on the subject which have re
cently issued from Liverpool.
The average quantity of Cotton Wool im
ported into Great Britain during the first five
years of tho 18th century, [I7OO to 1705,]
amounted to £1,170,981,’0n1y; and so late
even as 17G0, the estimated value of all the
cotton goods, manufactured in Great Britain
in the course of the year, was but £200,000.
From that period, however, the trade began
to increase rapidly; and in 1924, the late Mr.
Iluskisr-un stated in the House of Commons
his belief, that the value of goods then man
ufactured in Great Britain was £33,500,000.
Assuming that to liavo been the fact, the
amount cannot now be less than £54,000,000,
and it is calculated that this branch affords
employment for capital to the extent of
£IOO,OOO stg.
In 1780, the supplies of Cotton Wool were
derived from tho following sources—From the
British West Indies, lbs. 5,000,000
French and Spanish Colonk s 5,500,000
Dutch Colonics, i ,000,090
Portuguese Colonies, 2,000,000
Smyrna and Turkey 5,000,000
19,900,000
Ox about 05,000 bales
And previously to the year 1790, North Ame
rica did not furnish a single pound weight;
whereas the crop theje, in the past year, has
been equal to 202,000,000 lbs or 97 000(1
bale-.
Little inrd that hi.-
majcsly’s Government w ill abolish the duty
on printed goods, a tax which is comparative
ly very unproductive to the Treasury, con
sidering the restrictions which it imposes up
on trade. There is also another branch which
is perhaps capable of considerable extension,
should trade with China be thrown open, viz'
Hie export of cotton goods, to the East Indies,
which has already been rapidly on the in
crease.

1G DAYS LATER FROM LIV ERPOOL,
j AND VERY IMPORTANT FROM POLAND.
SURRENDER OF WARS A W.
YVe have been favored by a commercial
friend, with the Liverpool Journal, of the
12th of March, sent up by the Captain of the
ship Tecumseh, which passed the bar yester
day, bound from that port for Savannah. >
IHE FALL OF W ARSAW, afteradcs
p< rate but unavailing struggle on the part of
the unfortunate Poles, is the intelligence of
most absorbing interest contained in this
Liverpool paper. The melancholy details
of their short but bloody campaign, will be
found amongst our extracts.
Avery large public meeting was held in
Liverpool, on the sth March, at which Res
olutions were passed, tendering to Ministers
the support of the pi ople of that town in the
arduous struggle in which they were engugec
against the factions of the country.
The Liverpool paper we have, does not
coptuin any thing relative to the new duty on
Cotton. We presume the subject has been
settled, and that the amount and the manner,
ol levying the duty, was previously reported.
Parliamentary Reform. —After a protracted
debate of7 nights, leave was given to brimr
in the Reform Bill, and w ith three dissenting
votes only, it was read a first time. A speech
made by Mr. OConnel, in the course of his
debate, is highly spoken of in the Liverpool
Journal. It says, the “Agitaior has redeem*
ed himself in the estimation of the British
public ; and it would be unfair, since we did
not hesitate to censure, to refuse his conduct,
at the present moment, the praise which the
members of Parliament and the London press
have so justly bestowed on it.”
By the ministerial plan of Reform, Lan
cashire will obtain an addition of eight new
members, and will lose three of its old ones.
In future, Newton will return no members,
and Clitheroe will only return one instead ol
two. The members added, will be two for
the County, two for Manchester, and one each
for Blackburn, Warrington, Bolton, and Stock
port. Yorkshire will be deprived of nine
members, and gain eight. Cornwall will ob
tain two additional County members, and be
deprived of about thirty representatives of
Borouglis. Wiltshire will ..fare pretty much
in the same manner. Cheshire will lose none
and gain four.
“We regret to state that the official ac
counts have been receivedthis day by Govern
ment of the surrender of Warsaw, after the
defeat by the Russians, of the Polish army.
“ The armistice which had been entered
into for the purpose of burying the dead on
the first battle having expired, hostilities were
renewed on the 2Gth ult. on which day, ami
on the 27th, there was much hard fighting,
with considerable loss on both sides. The
Poles behaved as gallantly as in their previ
ous affair, but being unequal in number to
their adversaries, they were at length com
pelled to give way. Determined, however,
to make their retreat in as good order as pos
sible, they set fire to Praga, in order to inter
rupt for a time the advance of the Russians.
Praga was thus destroyed. On the 28th, the
municipal authorities" of Warsaw, finding
themselves no longer protected by their brave
army, and being unable, from the nature ol
the city, to prevent the entry of the Russians, I
held a meeting, at which it was resolved to
surrender at discretion. They waited upon
the Russian Commander, to signify their sub
mission; and the Russian troops immediately
entered the capital.
“The surrender of Warsaw does not neces
sarily imply the complete success of the Rus
sian arms, as regards the war in Poland; but
our own impression is decidedly that it would
be utterly impossible for the Polish army, iri
the absence ofu complete national movement
which does not appear to exist, to hold out
with any prospect of success; consequently,
we consider the question of Polish Indepen
dence, for a time at least, at an end.
“ There is reason however to believe that
the Emperor of Russia will, in the hour of vic
tory, he more generous than lie was merciful
m the hour of combat, and that the blood of
the brave Poles who have fallen may not have
been shed in vain. It will he some consola
tion to find this hope realized, although we
trust sincerely, that the statesmen of this and
of a neighboring country, will never forge*,
that every Stride taken by Russia, is an en
croachment upon tho principle of liberty, and
that generosity after conquest, rather increa
ses than diminishes tho influence of that
power.”
News of the weeh.— The news from the Con
tinent this week, though sufficiently hostile;
is somewhat scanty. The insurrection in

it is the work of infidelity. Strangers are

any parade as to the principles of .he (rainea •

by Drayton, Livingston, Madison and the friends
in the South, jhe perpetuation and stability of
which union will be its grand cud and aim.
V\ hile the subscriber thus announces his polit

Press in the spirit of that forbearance and lsber
ality not inconsistent with integrity of principle
and inflexibility of purpose.
