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.

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.

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.

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.
