“Jimmy’s Address to his Swate-lleart, on
Presenting her with a Ring,” bytho "River
Bard,” is “na sao bod,” as the Scotch people said
of Mrs. Siddons’s acting at Edinburgh :
Lady, swate lady, the trifle I give
Has a small aportnro in the centre;
Bo little, indade, one would scarcely believe
That your swate taper finger could enter.
But amatourß tell mo it never will do
To pick out a ring for a beauty,
11 uloss you divido your opiniou by two,
And allow for tho ‘‘shrinkage and duty.”
I toll you this faot. that you cloarly may soo
My motivo in choosing this size, dear;
And to show at once that it novor could bo
The consideration of prico, doar;
Yet I fairly confess, when I purchased tho thing,
And promised to pay for the samo,
I blossod you for wearing a very small ring,
And 1 thought a large hand was a shame.
Os coorse you'll porsaive there's a gem in this ring,
Which I think exceedingly chasto,
A diamond to mo is a hard looking thing,
But, bodad 1 there's a gloiy in paste!
And with caro it will wear just oxactly as long,
And niver grow dirty or dingy;
And as for tho strength, thruo, a diamond is strong,
But a man is no man if ho'a stingy.
And oh ! may you wear it ontircly out, doar!
In short, woar it for iver and iver;
And when ye have finished your gadding about hare,
Return it unsoilod to tbo giver:
For gams are unheeded in huaren, I trust,
Where one is as rich as another;
In that placo your jewels would certainly rust,
And melt all to paices in t'other 1
Tbo generosity of our 11 Bard ” is quite equal to
that of tho London lovor, who, when asked by tho
inamorata with whom he hod quarreled to return
her presents of jewolry, and so forth, said, among
other things:
"That brooch, which onoo your bosom wore,
(You said you had it from your mothor,)
Which, when you gave it to mo, you sworo
For life you d love mo, and no other:
Canst thou forgot the pleasnnt mum
When in my breast thou first didst stick it?
I can't reatoro it—it’s in pawn,
But. base deceiver! there’, thq ticket!'’
Now that was what wo call " doing the hnndsomo
thing.” Ho " gave her all ho could; no more.”—

Tne time of the closing of the great London
exhibition remained fixed for the 11th inst.—
The Commissioners had given formal notice on
the 26th to Messrs. Fox and Henderson, of their
intention to have the building removed. This
notice, is not regarded as conclusive as to the
fate of the building, but given to keep the pow
ers of the original contract in force. Its actual
late will probably remain in suspense until
Parliament reassembles. An impression gains
ground, however, that the building will finally
be removed from the Park.
The Roman Catholic Defence Association has

The Markets.
Liverpool, Oct. 4.— Cotton. —The market
has been dull and flat since the sailing of the
Atlantic on the Ist. Sales for consumption have
fallen off considerably; middling qualities are
nearly an eighth lower; ordinary and inferior

(From the N. Y. Express.)
The remedy for bad peaches, to which from a
sense of public observation alone we called pub
lic attention the other day, has been published in
all parts of the country, and attracted the notice
due to a matter ol so much importance to fruit
growers and eaters. Having seen the complete
ness of the cure, and the ease and the certainty
of the remedy for the Peach Grub, which results
not only in a complete renovation of the tree, but
in a corresponding transformation of the fruit, —
we felt bound to inform our readers ol the luxury
in store for those who grow or consume, in its
perfect state, the most delicious of all our Ameri
can fruit*. In reply to a multitude of enquiries
made since the publication in the Express, Mr.
Lewis, of Washington, (to whom the public are
indebted for the chemical preparation,) has pre
pared the following circular, which we copy for
the information of our readers :
To the Editors:
Washington, D. C., Sept. 28, 1851.
Finding it impracticable to answer by letter
the numerous inquiries respectingthe remedy for
the Peach Grub, I have prepared this circular,
in which you will doubtless find the information
desired. Os its efficacy there can be no ques
tion. No grub can be found on any tree to which
it has been applied; for if the paint reaches
them, it kills them immediately. If it cannot
reach them, their ingress is closed by it, and they
die for lack of air; but it will generally find them,
as it is one of the most subtile of liquid*.
Trees apparently in a dying condition have
been revived and bore fine fruit this season.
It is well to apply it to those trees not in fest
ed, to prevent their becoming so.
All other fruit trees are benefitted by a simi
lar application. An ordinary sized tree will re
quire less than half a pint. The earth should be
removed from about the trunk of the tree down
to the upper roots, and the paint applied with a
common brush from three inches above the
ground down to the roots, and some little mixed
with the earth near the tree. Any roots that
may he exposed should be painted. After a few
weeks the earth should be partially returned.
The time to apply it is just as soon as it can
reach the orchard in any and all seasons, for the
sooner that which is taking the “life blood’’of
the tree is destroyed the better, especially as the
tree requires all their vigor to stand the cold of
winter, and nothing less than all is requisite in
spring and summer to perfect good fruit.
The cost is small compared with the benefit,
as the fruit is much improved in quantity and
quality. Our Company sell it now for six dol
lars a barrel of thirty-two gallons, and deliver it
on board steam or sailing vessels, canal boats at
Georgetown, or cars, as the case may be—though
they are rather indifferent to the sale of it in
this form, as it pays better to make it into paint
for other purposes.
The prices will be more likely to increase than
decrease, as the demand is increasing and the
supply ofthe material decreasing.
lou may keep it forty years if you choose;
only see that your barrels do not leak, that the
bungs are in, and the barrels under cover.
Any further communication will be cheerfully
communicated by letter. I could add the testi
mony of those that have used it, but you having
seen the declaration of others, is the reason you
ask mine. The freight to New-York is 35 cts.
per barrel, to Baltimore 20 cents, Richmond
about 50, and from these places you will be like
ly to know.
Respectfully yours, J. C. Lewis.
Business in Europe.—As regards the gene
ral position of business, the feeling to-day in the
city was very satisfactory. Money, apparently
is becoming more easy, and the continued reports
of large and steady transactions at Manchester,
and of full employment throughout the provinces
generally, create a degree of confidence which
promises well for the approaching winter. It is
seen also, that the abundant harvest asd other
causes warrant an anticipation of a steady in
crease during the next few months, of the bul
lion in the Bank of England. This increase is
likely to be derived from two sources; impor
tation from abroad, and the liberation of part of
the large quantity at present in the hands ofthe
public. The existing note circulation is precise
ly what it was at the corresponding period of
last year, when the bank rate of-intere t was 2J
per cent, and when cotton was 30 to 40 per cent
above its present price, with produce of most
other descriptions comparatively high. Contrast
ed with September 1849, it shows an excess of
£1,500,000.
After the close of the Exhibition, therefore,
the return ot a considerable amount of cein is not
improbable. At the same time, while the total
of bullion is now higher than at any period since
January, it is clear that not only is the drain
from the continent and the East, which has so
long counteracted the large receipts from New
York, terminated, but that France, Holland, and j
Belgium may furnish henceforth some additions |
to our supply. The duration of this condition
of affairs will be promoted, moreover, by the
low price of most articles of import, which are
likely for some months to discourage foreign
shippers. Under these circumstances, as the in
ternal prosperity of the country is certain to
cause a continuance of the steady consumption of
articles of food and luxury, while a diminution in
the demand for breadstuiffs may relatively in
crease that for other necessaries, there is every
reason to hope that any large stocks now hang
ing over the produce markets, may be gradually
disposed of without even occasioning in that
quarter an aggravation of heavy losses with
which recent speculations have been attended.

New Publications.
We have the following new and interesting
publications from the press of Harper & Broth
ers, New York:
The Lilly and the Bek; an Apologuo of the
Crystal Palace. By Samuol Warren, F. K. 8.,
author of Diary of a Physician, Ac.
This is a quaint and enigmatical little book,
both in style and substance. The distinguished
name of the author will secure for it leaders.—
We confess, however, that we have risen from
its perusal more puzzled than pleased.
There are, however, in it passages of much
power and sublimity. Many of the notes are in
teresting and instructive.
Bulk and Misrule of the English in Ameri
ca ; by tho author of Sam Slick, tho Clock-Maker.
This work is historical in its character, anu
contains a great deal of interesting information
upon the early political history of the British
Colonies in this country—especially of those
thirteen Colonies which achieved their independ
ence in the American Revolution.
Forest Life and Forest Trees; comprising
W inter Caiup-I.ifo among tho Loggers, and wild
wood adventure, with descriptions of hunting op
erations on tho various rivers of Maine and Now
Brunswick. By John S. Springer.
This is a work of the most interesting charac
ter. It contains some thrilling narratives of
personal adventure. It imparts also much useful
information on the subjects of which it treats.
The Ladv and the Priest ; a Novel, by Mrs.
Maberly, author of “ Loontino,” “ Fashion," Ac.
No. 17 of Lossing's Pictorial Field Book of the Rev
olution.
The above are for sale by Thomas Richards A
Son, and by J. A. Carrie & Co.
The hark Emily, from Rio Janeiro, at Phila.
delphia, with dates to the 31st of August, reports
that coffee was quite scarce, and but little ex
pected from the interior. American provisions
abundant. The U. S. steamer Susquehanna
would sail for the East Indies in a day or two.
Several sharp earthquake shocks were felt on
the Bth ult. at Trinidad, Port Spain, causing
damage to buildings, splitting walls, &c. Houses
were completely deserted, and the streets and,
squares crowded by the alarmed people.
Dates from Surinim to the 25th of August, re
ceived at New York, contain intelligence that
the Yellow Fever, which had prevailed there
with such destructive effects, had subsided.
A drought of almost unprecedented duration
is prevailing throughout the South West, which
threatens a great monetary pressure among the
merchants in that section of country, front the
impossibility of getting produce to market and
making payments.
The Syracuse Outrage.
The following prophecy, so signally falsified
lately at Syracuse, is thus brought to public at
tention by the Mobile Tribune:
Daniel Webster may be a great expounder,
but he is no prophet. In a speech delivered at
Syracuse, on the 26th ol May, he thus spoke of
the fugitive slave law:
“ Depend upon it, the law will be executed in
the spirit and to its letter. It will be executed
in all the great cities— here in Syracuse, in the
midst of the next anti-slavery Convention, if the
occasion shall arise.”
Mr. Webster is not, by any means, the first
conspicuous man who has miscalculated the effi
cacy of the compromise.
This outrage, however, does not see n to dis
turb the equanimity of the consolidation party
of Georgia, or extort from their organs any ex
pression of doubt as to the faithful execution of
the fugitive slave law. If it is not faithfully ex
ecuted, they are pledged to secede. The next
move of that party will doubtless be to crawfish
from that position. The Southern Sentinel thus
calls attention to the beautiful manner in which
the “.final adjustment'‘ , operates for the South
which gained by it such a “victory.”
The State Register , (Albany, N. Y.) thus con
denses the history of the recent “failure” to ex
ecute the fugitive slave law, at Syracuse, iu that
State:
“ A prisoner in the hands of the deputy mar
shal of the United States, was rescued from his cus
tody in the presence of a United States judicial offi
cer, before whom an examination was progress
ing. He was, however, recaptured, and taken
before the same officer, aid there the further hear
ing of the matter was interrupted by an invasion
of the police office, which was broken into, the
officers of the government stoned, shot at, injured,
aud their prisoner forcibly wrested from custody
and carried off. This was undoubtedly the work
of both negroes and aboliliomsts. ,,
We ask pardon for suggesting the query to the
Georgia Platform Legislature, soon to meet at
Milledgeville, how many more such evidences
are required to satisfy them that the fugitive
slave law cannot be “laithfully” executed ? Did
the Georgia Convention mean what it said in
the resolution, that the preservation ot the Union
depended upon the execution of that law ? Will
Georgia Union men wait till their Northern
brethren have stolen all our negroes before they
conclude that this feature of the compromise is a
humbug?
Suppose the federal tax-gatherers had been
“stoned, shot and injured,” in their effort to col
lect the customs in Charleston, S. C., what would
the government have done ? What would South
ern Union presses have said ? “Treason 1”
would We been thundered from the capital, and
“Treason !” would have been shouted by every
Union from the St. Lawrence to the Rio
Grande.
We might, if we wished, fill this entire sheet
with the details of scenes like that which has
just been enacted at Syracuse within the past
two months, but of what use would such recitals
be ? Thousands of slaves have escaped into the
Northern States since the enactment of the fugi
tive bill,and not one in a hundred of them have
been recovered; and yet we are told of Northern
, devotios to the compromise!
Our Governmental Departments have received
official mformation from San Francisco that let
ters frequently reach there with the envelopes
partly torn off, and the address mutilated, in con
sequence of the practice of using sealing-wax to
secure the envelopes. In passing through the
tropics, the wax is invariably melted so as to de
stroy ail sembla«ce of a seal, and not unfrequent
ly so a» to adhere to the letter beneath it, and
cause toe injury or destruction of the address in
separating the two. The Post Master General
therefore recommends to all persons having cor
respondence with California, and other parts of
the coistof the Pacific Ocean, to discontinue the
use of wax in sealing their letters or other pa
pers.
Outrage on an American Abroad.—Pri
vate letters announce that Gen. Averill, of St.
Johnsville, N. Y., who is now travelling in Eu

Father Mathew administered the Temper
ance pledge to over four thousand persons on
Sunday at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, New-York.
He continues his labors every morning during

The Washington Rejtublic says, that the three
sides of the basement walls of both the north
and the south wings of the Capitol have attained
a height of about ten feet. This branch of the
work will probably pe completed by the close of
Autumn, and be ready for the setting ofthe mar.
ble, which, the Republic learns, will be prepared
during the Winter, so as lo make an early com
mencement in the ensuing Spring
The Kossuth Fund. —The Mayor ofN. York
received on Tuesday a telegraphic dispatch from
Cincinnati, informing him that J. Smead, Esq.
of that city had contributed SI,OOO to the Kos
suth Fund. Professor Anderson was to have
given a performance at Tripler’s Hall, the entire
proceeds of which are to be devoted to the same
purpose.
Going Back. —Nearly two hundred steerage
passengers, who had recently immigrated to this
country, sailed for Liverpool from New York on
Friday in tho ship Ashburton. It is said the
owners were unable to accommodate about fifty
others who applied for passage.
Startling Disclosures.— A New York pa
per says that Wilton, former man of business of
Barnum, is about to publish some startling dis
closures as to certain transactions connected
with the Lind concerts.
Esquimaux Dogs. —On one day no less than
seven of Jtlie Esqimaux dogs died on board the
Exploring vessels at New York, and the two
remaining ones are not expected to live. Change
of climate i 3 supposed to be the cause.
The Divorce Case of Mr. Edwin Forrest,

Verdict against a Railroad Company.—
Before Judge Daly, at New York, in the case of
Jno. G. Hunt against the New Haven Railroad
Company, for damages of $50,000, on Saturday
morning,the jury awarded the plaintiff $3,000'
The damages sued for, were in consequence of
the loss of a step-daughter, who was killed on
the New Haven railroad some months ago, by a
collision between a train of cars and the wagon
in which she was riding.
The Post Master General has recenty estab
lished the following Post Offices in Georgia.

The Spanish Papers publish a list of the killed
and wounded among the Spanish soldiers in the
battles. The killed amount to 58, the wounded
166, bruised B—total8 —total 245.
More Whisky is shipped from Cincinnati than
from any other port in the Union. Large quan
tities, however, are retained for home consump
tion, as the records of mortality show.
Gen. Houston authorizes the Washington Union
to declare that the affair of “Donnelson,” of Tex
as, is fictitious, and that the Presidential corres
pondence is a hoax.
Great Southern Mail. —The Post Office De
partment is endeavoring to make arrangements
which will expedite the great Southern Mail. It
is said that the saving of the hours which are
now lost at Petersburg, Va., will practically place
the correspondence between Baltimore and the
South twenty-four hours ahead of the existing
arrangements.
Queen of Spain Wants War. —The N. York
Sun, on the authority of a private letter from
Madrid, states that her august ladyship, the Queen
of Spain, in reply to a petition from a Cuban, for
certain concessions to that ill-governed island,
said she deeply regretted that she was not the
mistress of her own desires, or she would at once
declare war against the U. States, come what
might. It is well there are some wiser people
than herself in the limits of her dominions, or the
poor dear little stupid might be accommodated to
her heart’s content. It is real charity to deny
her gracious majesty the indulgence of her whim
on this occasion. The desire for war, however,
is said to be universal in Spain, by the same wri
ter,
Cheap Gas in London.—The Secretary of|
the Gas Consumers’ Company, at a meeting held

quality at a maximum price of 4s. per 1,000 feet,
to limit the dividend to a maximum of 10 per ;
cent., and all other profits beyond 10 per cent., to 1
be applied to the reduction of the price. The
capital required would be £120,000, the prelimin- |
ary expenses out of their own pockets. Mary- !

The Cuban Question in Spain.
On this general subject, the London Leader
says: —
"Magnificent, magniloquent, and magnanimous
Spain thinks, in her simplicity, that the Stripes
and Stars may be compelled to lower to the nag
ofthe bloody streak upon a golden field. Effete
Spain thinks she can compete in arms with the
young giant of the west, and beat him even on
the ocean! Let her try.
“In the Heraldo ofthe 14th,there is an article,
thoroughly Spanish, and thoroughly absurd. War
is inevitable, it says, between Spain and the U.
States. The prospect of the war does not intimi
date Spaniards. They would 'gain much’ and
lose nothing.” Proceed Heraldo:
“It might be that even then we should not pos
sess a navy equal in strength to that of the U.
States; but we are not going to fight general ac
tions ; no the war will be waged by privateers,
and the services of our men-of-war will be con
fined to protecting them, watching our coasts,
and co-operating expeditions occasionally. In
this description of warfare we should have an
immense advantage over the U. States; for by
offering letters of marque to all comers, which are
letters of credit upon fortune, payable at sight,
we should find privateers, not only among the
Catalonians and Majorcans, who are the best in
the world, but also in England and the Philip
pine Islands, our last expedition against Zolo
having deprived its inhabitants of the profession
of piracy they previously exercised. We should
even find them in the States ofthe Union, through
the rivalries of commerce, and because avarice
is a bad adviser, and often makes people iorget
their duty when it is opposed to their interest.
'What would the Government ofthe United
States do then ? What would become of the com
merce of this country ? Its vessels would be in
danger every where, even upon the coasts of the
Union ; trade would be paralysed, and the inter
ests of commerce would rise against an unjust
and sterile war. And what could be opposed to
this plan of operations? Nothing; absolutely
nothing. They might try the system of convoys ;
but would there be sufficient men-of-war, con
sidering all things ? Certainly not. But this is
not the only harm we could do the U. States. If
our privateers tear from them the trade of the
Indies, we likewise, who hold the key of the
Mediterranean, could prevent the passage of their
vessels by only stationing in the waters of Cadiz
and Centa a few steamers.
‘ln fine, the United States would suffer a block
ade and only escape ruin by submission .’
“Simple Spain thinks the States could muster
only a few privateers, and that these would take
nothing, as there is nothing to take. Besides,
Spain would make a terrible ‘demonstration’ of
strength calculated to make her ‘respected in fu
ture.’
“Yes, war for us would bean advantage—we
should gain in it a reputation which we require,
as well as wealth, of which we have not a super
fluity. It is not, then, for us to think of the re
sult of hostilities; the question is whether we
ought to provoke them. Because, if by sea we
possess these advantages against a nation ac
counted more powerful than us, by land these
advantages are much greater, because there we
cede to none in strength.”
Bravo, Heraldo! An expedition from the
U. States Government against Cuba would only
end in affording the Spanish soldiers ‘the amuse
ment of man-hunting.’ And, even ifthe Spanish
forces were beaten in the field from the impreg
nable forts of El Morra and La Cabania a few
lines on a bit of poper would let loose 500.000
negroes, ‘who would put an end to all the white
race except the Spaniards.' 1 Exquisite credulity.
‘Spain would indeed lose the precious jewel
she possesses in America; but the United States
would have made it a present to the barbarians
of Africa after seeing her navy shattered, her
trade annihilated, and a great part of her army
destroyed.’
And so the rodomontade of dear hopeful Bom
bastes continues:
‘Let our Government take this into account,
and not hesitate in the path of patriotism. Let
it look upon war as inevitable, and prepare for
it, albeit ample satisfaction is obtained for the
present; because we have already said that, some
day or other, the Government of the U. States
will be forced into hostilities by the populace,
which’ demands vengence for the pirates shot in
Cuba, unless it joins it voluntarily.’ ’
A Great Man’s Preference. —l envy no
quality of mind or intellect in others—not ge
nius, power, wit, or fancy; but if I could choose
what would be most delightful, and I believe
most useful to me, I should prefer a firm religious
belief to every other blessing, for it makes fife a
discipline of goodness, creates new hopes when
all earthly hopes vanish, and throws over the de
cay, the destruction of existence, the most gor
geous of all lights; awakens life even in death ;
aud from corruption and decay, calls up beauty
and divinity ; makes an instrument of torture
and of shame the ladder of ascent to paradise; and
far above all combination of earthly hopes, calls
up the most delightful visions, palms and ama
ranths, the garden of the blessed; the security of
everlasting joys, where the sensualist and the
sceptic view only gloom, decay, and annihilation.
—Sir Humphrey Davy.
Usefulness. —ls confined to no station, and
it is astonishing how much good may be done,
and what may be effected by limited means,
united with benevolence of heart and activity of
mind.
We heard a good story told of a rustic youth
and a country girl, who sat facing each other at
the supper-table of a husking party. The youth, j
smitten with the charms of the beautiful maid, j
only vented his passion in sly looks,and now and j
then touching Patty’s toe with his foot under '
the table. The girl, either fearful of the purity !
of her stockings, or determined to make the
youth express what he appeared so warmly to j
feel, bore with his advances a little while in <
silence, when she cried out—“ Look here, if you j
love me, tell me so; but don’t dirty my stock
ings.”
Two Irishmen passing through a wood found
a gun. They never having seen a weapon of
the kind, thought it was a musical instrument
and determined ,to practice. Partick advised
Jamy to blow in themuzzel, while he played
on the kays.’ The result was that Jamy lost his
brains,

With our Saviour, little children are the chosen em
blems of purity ; and nnless we become as one of them,
we can, in no wise, inherit the kingdom of Heaven. To
the believer in our holy religion, there is, therefor*,
abundant cause for consolation. God takes them to
Himself—and, clad in the garments of a higher right
eousness, they bocome as angels of light and glory. He
plucks, as He pleases, the buds and flowers of earth ; but
those which He transplants to His heavenly garden, re
ceive a lustre and brilliance wnich never fade—and the
greenest fruits He preserves, to all eternity, in unspeak
able sweetness.
