So sang a poet, whose writings bear all
the ease and delicacy of “learned leisure,”
» artd vet betray his constant aptitude to mo
ralize upon, and give a pithy turn to, matters j
* in themselves frequently v ulgar and of every \
day occurrence. His spirit appears to have j
, betyt always on Hie watch to strike out a !
moral, or a pretty gleam of poetry, from even i
a pebble on the road-side. He would have
worked the Billowing touching paragraph
into innumerable beauties, begetting a “hun
dred similes,” and each a glittering coin for
the exchequer of Apollo.
Amongst a great many miracles attribut
ed to Abdul Radir Ghilan, the founderof the
order of the Kalandi, is the following, which,
however, if it do not savour much of the mi
raculous, at least discovers an aptness and
delicacy of imagination, not always to be
found in the opium-loving Mahometan. It
is related of Abdul Radir Ghilan, once
coming to Babylon, to inhabit amongst tiie
other superstitious persons and Sanlcnes (a
gross epicurean order) of that city, they hear
ing of iiis approach, went forth to meet him,
one of them carrying in his hand a dish filled j
with water; from whence they would infer, !
that as that dish was full to the brim, so as !
to be capable of containing no more, so their
city whs so replenished with learned and re- j
ligious persons, that there was no place to
receive him: whereupon our sagacious Ab
dul, being desirous of confuting this hiero
glyphic, whereby they would excuse the
courtesy of due hospitality, stretched his
arras first towards heaven, and then bowed
down and gathered a rose-leaf, which he laid
on the water, ihen almost overflowing the
dish. Now Abdul, by this piece of ingenui
ty not only confuted the parable of the chur
lish and sordid Babylonians, but also so im
pressed them with a sense of his greatness,
that they registered the effort of Abdul as a
miracle of wisdom, and bringing him into
their city with triumph, made him the supe
rior of all their orders.
We might very reasonably make the above
incident serve as an every-day memento —a
record to spur us on to moral and intellectual
cultivation. How frequently do we proceed
more than half-way towards the completion
.of a valuable undertaking, when, making a
sudden halt, we think enough has been done,
imagining further effort useless, and even
impossible. Our endeavours, like the dish
full of water, are rising to the brim; they
seem completed to over-running, and yet
they would bear something—a rose-leaf pla
ced upon them would make our triumph
most complete. Is it sufficient that we give
excellent advice to those who “the primrose
paths of dalliance tread?” Is it sufficient that
we steep them to the very lips in apothegm
and moral exhortation? No! There yet wants
•omething to crown the labour—the rose-leaf
of example. We may hastily pass an object
of ciiarify, and with our best wishes to alle
viate the suffe rings of the unfortunate, suffer
not ourselves to take the trouble of retracing
our path to confront the petitioner. Oh,
what are charitable feelings, although over
flowing the heart, unless they bear upon
them something else than theoretical benevo
lence!—let us place upon them the odorous
rose-leaf of practice. When the bigotry, the
persecution, the uncharitableness of mankind
is poured down on some devoted head, let us
not mingle in the overwhelming torrent; let
us not add to its strength, but yield up a
sweet and cheering offering, the rose-leaf of
compassion. When we feel ourselves sink
ing beneath the waters of affliction, let us
not give ourselves, with reckless indifference,
to the potency of that which oppresses us;
but rather let the beauty arid the perfume of
hope be seen in a rose-leaf upon the flood, a
leaf in which our spirit may sail securely,
although the lightning flashes from above,
and the earth trembles from beneath.
We might pursue this subject to any
length, without tear of being charged with
repetition, from a want of apt similitudes.
'Flie matter is a most fertile and beautiful
one; but we proffer it thus briefly, that it may
excite useful reflection, rather than by a
needless verbosity out-weary it. A simple
stone, the record of a sentence, will some
times awaken deeper attention than a gigan
tic edifice and a finely turned homily. The
brief exhortation, “Remember thou art a
man,” must sometimes have reached with
greater force, the heart of the monarch of
| old, than if lie had assembled his priests., his
! magicians and his soothsayers, to hold forth
on the stale of m rtality, and on uH- earth’s
vanities.

CHARLES FCN, May B— Cotton. —The
Cotton market has on the whole been rather quit t
since our report ofthe Ist inst., as ttie transactions
do not exceed 3000 bales. On Saturday last,
and during Monday and Tuesday ofthe present
week, a moderately fair demand prevailed for the
atticle, but purchasers were unwilling to extend
their operationsowing to the full prices required;
and when we closed our inquiries on the latter
day preparatory to making up our semi-weekly re
port. the transactions had not exceeded 1500 a
i IGOt) hales at tlie qoutations ot the previous week.
| As the week drew to a close, the higs prices dc-
I tnanded f.»r the article continued to lie the pre
' dominant feature ofthe market, and holders were
! more successful than at an earlier period. Uu
| Wedrusday and yesterday—toi nothing was done
i on Thuisday, as it was a holyday—some 1500
| hales changed hands at improved rates, and at
I the close of business yosterday prices ranged an
Ito jc. above thosecurrent this day week. The
receipts since our last reach 6218 bales. The
I actual t ransactions in the same time are as fol
i lows; —61 hales at 10|; 310 at 11; 135 at 11 j, 435
jat 111; 305 at 1U; 208 at I If; 300 at 111; 72 at
| 11£;339 at 12; 200 at 12[; and 638 hales at 12£c.
I See quotations. Between 2 anil 300 bales of
Long Cutton have been sold this week —inferior
| and common from 21 to 26c; and minding fine
! and fine 34 a 38c.
{ Corn.-- The Corn market has continued
j throughout the week in the same inanimate state,
j as noticed in our previous report. Nothing has
been taken for export; and those who purchase
i for re-sale, do not seem disposed to touch the ar
! icle at present asking prices; and for the present
quotations are nomial. Received by Hull Road
7000 bushels.
lliy —There has been received since our last
between 6 and 700 bundles of North River, and
IJJ bundles Cistern Hay. Some 5000 bundles
of the former have hi cn sold at prices within the i
i range of our quotations. The latter was taken j
j by a dealer at $1 25 per 100 lbs.
Flour. —The transactions of the week have been
I confined principally to the sale at auction of about
; BUU barrels Western, received from a vessel w hich
i pul into our port in distress. They were sold at
i prices ranging from 64 to $64; the bulk, however,
i were taken at the. former price. A few small lots
of country descriptions, good brands, have chang
ed hands at from 64 a $7 per barrel, but it is im
possible to move the common brands at even 6 a
$64 per barrel. In the other descriptions we have
no sales to report.
Sugars —O tr Sugar market continues in a very
languid and depressed state, and holders find it
impossible to negotiate sales unless at very low
prices. Upwards 0f312 hhds. of fair quality Mils
| covado description were offered at auction on Wed
nesday last: —l5O lihds. in one lot, and 160 hhds.
in another—B6 hhds. of the former were sold at
from 7 to 64; and 40 hhcß. of the latter m G4c.
Holders of Louisiana are not offering their stacks.
Received this w eek from the West ladies 59 Hhds.,
4 hhls. and 18 boxes.
Bacon. —We have no change to notice. The
transactions of the week have teen limited, but at
prices within llie range of our quotations.
Salt —Contrary to the belief of dealers general
ly, there is a great scarcity of Salt in the market,
and prices have consequently advanced. We quote
by the 100 sacks 110; and smaller lots have been
sold at 115 a 120 per sack.
Freights. — There is nothing doing in Foreign
Freights; am we have thought it advisable i t pre
sent to erase all quotations. ’There is no change
in coastwise rates, and we quote as formerly, to
New York, Colton, square bags, 4c., and sl4 per
tierce for Rice; and to Boston, Colton, tc. and
§1,25 per tierce for Rice.
SAVANNAH, May S--Colton. Arrived
since the29th ult., 1,424 bales Upland, (822 ;»er
Road, 602 from Augusta, and landings on the
river,) and 211 bales Sea Islands. ‘l’he exports
for same period have been 2,4452 bales Upland
and 98 Sea islands, leaving a stock on hand and
on shipboard not cleared, 0t20,747 bales Upland
and 3 952 Sea Islands, against 27,288 bales Up
land and 1,213 Sea Islands, at same lime last year.
We h ave no change to notice in the market |
this week. The transactions have been light in
consequence of the unwillingness of sellers to
operate till after the receipt of the accounts per
Caledonia, now daily expected. On Monday
night, intelligience was received from Liverpool,
two days later, per steamer Sarah Sands, at New
York. That market had undergone no change,
but remained steady at the priccscurrcot on the
departure of the Cambria,
The business this week has been principally
for shipment to the North. In tact we hoar of no
transactions on foreign account. There are only
tao vessels up for toreign port*, b« tli of which
are nearly full. We continue our quotations of
la-'t week, with the remark that the market closes
lino:
Inferior, none.
Ord. to good ord. Ole.
IVI i i. to good mid. 11 (a) life.

Round bales of a similar quality are ie per lb

The sales of the week are only 1333 bales, at llie
following particulars: 2 at 10; 19 at IDj; 15al lot;
56 at 10i; 47 at lc|; 107 at PI; 3.3 at 11; JUI at
1 !i; 186 at 1U; 45 at HI; 32> at 114; 75 at Hi;
and 48 bales ai 1 I |c per lb.
The stock of cotton in this port is reduced to a
bout2U.UUU bales, and tiie receipis continue to fall
off. This week they are only 1425 bales against
4866 bales corresponding period lasi year. The
falling off in the receipts at all tne ports up to the
latest dates, amounts to 2 10,046 bales.
Rue. —There is but lit tie doing in the Rice mar
ket, and no change fruin our quotations of last
week. The waul of facilities for shipment has a
tendency to stagnate the market. The only trans
actions we hear of are : 20 casks at $3,5U, and 130
do. at $3,874 per iOO pounds.
Corn. —There have been sales of upwards of 2,-
000 bushels in lots of from 50 bushels to sto bush
els, at 85 toB7 cts. per bushel. We understrnd a
large lot was bargained for yesterday at 80cts. per
i bushel, but could not learn the particulars. Re
i tails at 9octs. per bushel.
Flour. —The stock of Georgia Flour is accumu
lating in consequence of there being no means of
shipping it. The sales are confined to city con
sumption, and are too small to particularize.
Groceries —The business of the week has been
confined to the retail trade, at prices within tiie
range of our quotations. We quote Molasses, Cu
ha, new crop, 23 a i 5 cts. per gallon; .New Or
leans, do., 36 a 374; Kio Coffee, 84 a Blc. per lb.;
Sugar, Porto Rico and fSI. Croix, 74 a 10; New

port. Sales of Bacon Sides have been rnatlt at 9c
per lb. We quote Hams 10 a 12; Shoulders 64 a
8, and Sides 84 a 9c. per Jb.
Hay. —No cargo sales this week. New York
retails from store at sli, at.d Eastern at Si I per
10U pounds.
Bagging. —This article has further advanced
'flie slock for sale is light, and holders firm. We
doubt if it could be pun based now, even at our
quotations, although we hear of no sales beyond
those figUKMK
Exchange. —The rate for Sterling continues at
54 per cent prem. Domestic also remains as last
quoted. The Banks sell Sight Checks on tiie North
ern cities at 4 pr cent. prem. They purchase
