Th» age » decidedly HtiUlnriau. Nothin
catches the Argns-eyr of public ntlcmioii, In
what is met in the onset with the interrogate
"ciu t»no for what good was it designed
No matter whether it he the MKbmt.y theory .
an enthusiastic mind, or a plain every-day fa
deduced from known premises, so that it be a
rayed in tho garb of novelty, the same porlct
loua question ia surely to he elicited.
Isa Kail road to he constructed,or a Canal can
wated, the topography must first he tseertained
the principles of Mathematics and Mechanic
applied, and the calculation ascertained to th
lithe of a dollar as ta the probable cost. A
this is well — and speaks loudly for the activity
the industry, and the enterprize of our tvondet
working ago. But amid tins general coinmotior
this impetuous fervour of bmineis, may then
not be some little danger that less attention In
paid to tho cultivation of our intellectual pow
era. than the importance of tho subject de
tnands.
•‘The Juice et utile" of the AncicnU were
thought to contain tho vety “elixir" of humar
enjoyment, therefore, every energy of tho sou
was exerted in the prosecution of both combiner
in the same object. In modern limes the gi t o
every action seems to be centred altogether in
the utile while the dulce is left in the shade, ui
follows the former at a remote distance.
Tho desire of happiness, no doubt sways eve
ry human breast. But how different arc the
paths which men have pursued, in all ages ol the
world, for its attainment. Here our entrusts his
frail hark to tho tempest-tossed ocean—there, an
other explores the devious wilds, and untrodden
solitudes of the Western forests; or scours the
boundless plains of the groat Prairo, or ascends
the rugged mountain in search of hidden trea
•urea. The devotee of science, sends forth his
ardent soul in pursuit of knowledge—he gazes
on the stars of Heaven with admiration, or
views the glowing landscape with cxtacica ol
joy. He feed* tho immortal part of his nature
and enables it to interpret, the hycroglipb' c won _
tiers of the universe. By far tho greater part ol
mankind, however, make the acquisition of wealth,
the broad highway l' happiness ; while tho few,
who luvj sought it in the embellishment of their
Itt'iuis, and in the more refined pursuits of intel
lectual pleasure, hive been looked upon as vision
ary theorists following Utopian shadows. But
lest this opinion might mislead those who are
vascillating in their dotarmination whether to
cultivate the material or immaterial part of thcii
nature, let Ut for a moment compare the relative
merits of wealth with those of inontal employ
ments for the attainment of happiness.
Tho superiority of mind over matter, is
a fact so evident as not to admit of a doubt.—
The man who seeks for wealth alone, expects his
solo happiness from that source. Ho is absorbed
in the acquisition of his darling idol. Ho spends
his ds/s and his nights in meditating how lie
shall accumulate tho greatest quantity of the gol
den dust. His ruling passion exhibits itself on eve
ry occasion. By habit, Ilia desire of wealth degen
erates into disease —a monomania. He becomes
selfish, covetous, miserly. Ho disrelishes the
enjoyments of society, because he is incapable
of entertaining or ot being entertained. Ho
lives solitary and unsocial, and therefore misera
ble. Tho golden-god eternally blaze* before his
eyes, and waking or sleeping, his mind broods on
his troublesome treasures. Is tho picture 100 gla
ring ! There are thousand* of such cases in the
world. All this toil is for happiness ! Tho man
who is thus infatuated, never dreams that he has
a subtle essence within his own bosom, which
he must first cul. «ato, before lasting enjoyment
can be secured. He totally neglects the educa
tion of the immortal mind—that spark which was
lighted by the fiat of uncreated wisdom—that
spaik which must bo nurtured, augmented, and
refined, before a man can luxuriate in rational
felicity !
On the other hand, look al the facilities for en
joyment posseseed by him, who has a well disci
plined, and cultivated mind. Ask the man that
has knell at tho hallowed shrine of gonitis, and
lasted the sweets of ancient loro, who has wasted
bis midnight taper in holding communion with
the “ mighty dead”—
- “ those starry lights of vi.tao
That diffuse through the dark depth of time,
Their vivid flame"—
who has been fired with the sublime strains of
blind Minanities, or revelled in the living page of
the Mantuan bard, or bowed with reverential ad
miration before tho sublime philosophy ol New
ton, and Bacon, and Locke—ask such an one
whether wealth could purchase from him these
•oul-ciu«pltiring pleasures! What a noble tri
bute to (ho superiority of mind was paid to Dio
g nics the Cynic, by Alexander the Grout, when
Iw confessed that were I not Alexander—l \aould
be Diogones. Yes! he, whose triumphal cha
riot had passed over the bowed necks of subdued
millions —whose laurel wreath was ginned with
victories—who had hurled his eagle-standards
" o’er a prostrate world,” even amid all tho splen'
did trophies of his pomp, and power, and glory,
dbl not consider it beneath his humanity to make
tho above observation to one who lived in a tub,
but who possessed a mind that defied the blasts
of ad versity, ami triumphed in the might of his
philosophy!
We often bear it reiterated, that wealth is
power. Admit it. When wealth is joined with
judgment and high mental endowments, so that
.proper means may be directed to proper cuds, it
then becomes almost omnipotent. And this
union of matter and mind, (so to speak) is the
appropriate sphere in which wealth may be suc
cessfully and beneficially employed. And when
thus exerted, it may bs made subservient to our
comfort, our convenience, and our happiness
Out let us an able that power which the posses
•ion of woalth ntone so triumphantly claims. Is
it a power of mind over mind? Is it allied to
the Ood-like faculty of reason 1 Does it give the
‘•wisdom to foresee, the genius to direct, and the
valor to uphold” the destinies of a nation T Does
It claim the power to calm the troubled ocean of
impetuous and unbridled passion 1 Can it still
the phrenziod tumult of popular excitement 1 In
<ae, does it give man lire power to know himself
—which is tho climax of all human wisdom—
that wisdom which Socrates instilled into the voulh
«fbye-gone ages?
Doe* wealth, abstractly considered, givo toil*
qioeecssor all, or any of those ennobling quntilies
which w# have Just enumerated 1 If so—lb'-'ir;
dadoed should its acquisition be tho exalted end
of all attainment,—the very temple of-KSppiness,
before whose hallowed shrine men ani anjrh

credit gone, and produce of every description going

At a late hour this morning, the packet ship

t GREAT BRITAIN.
The bill for the abolition of church rates had
been introduced by Lord Melbourne, in tho House
of Lords. It provides.
I I. That the land revenues of tho Archbishops,
. Bishops, deans and chapters iStc, shall be raana
, ged by a board of 11 commissioners, including
Ihc two Archbishops and tho Bishop of London.
9 [The Archbishop of Canterbury, for himself, his
“ brother of York, and the Bishop of London, pro
r tested against tho measure, on the 9th of Mareh,
( and declared most emphatically that nothing short
of an act of Parliament should compel them la
accept the office of commissioner. Tho Bishop
9 of London opposed the bill also, with exceeding
i warmth and bitterness.]
. S. Leases to be granted for 31 years, rack-rent.
3. Tho income to form a general fund, for tho
payment of tho allowance to lire chnrch dignita
-1 lies, &c
--4. Church rates to be abolished.
5. Visitation foes abolished.
6- Dissenters to he exempted from acting as
church-wardens.
7. Pews to bo rented, and the rents applied to'
the service of tho church.
These arc the principal provisions. There are
many others, which no have not time to notice
this evening.
Vast numbers of petitions were constantly
pouring in, both fur and against the abolition of
tho church-rates.
Tho Times declares with great confidence that
tho hill had received its quietus.
Mr. Buckingham moved for leave to bring for
ward a lull for the heller regulation of tho mer
cantile marine, with a view to the prevention of
shipwrecks.—He slated thattho loss by shipwreck
of British vessels, in one year, was three millions
sterling accompanied hy the greater loss of a thou
sand lives. The committee ol investigation which
hail been appointed on this subject, ascribed this
dreadful extent of loss, I. to the defective construc
tion and strength of British strips, as compared
with those of other nations : 8. want of skill in
captains and mates , and 3. deficiency of tackle.
A more powerful remote cause, he thought, was
the system of insurances, which tended to make
owners of ship and cargo indifferent to tho safety
of cither, and tempted them to prefer cheap ships
to good ones.
lie proposed that a marine hoard should he
formed, of seven members, four having had ex
perience as commanders, either in the naval or
mercantile service, one a master ship-builder, one
a professor of astronomy and hydrography, and
one person of legal knowledge. The motion gave
rise to a debate of considerable length and great
'iiierc:!, which we are compelled to leave untou
cljcJ to-day, and leave was given to bring ia tho
bill.
Mr. Hoy again introduced the subject ofTexas
hy moving for copies of all correspondence be
tween lire governments of Mexico and Great
Britain, and between those of Great Britain and,
the United States, from the Ist of March, 1836,
having reference thereto. Wo give a short ex
tract from his speech, to show its general tenor.
“ He said that the rc..'®nt conduct of the United
S. with reference to that province was a subject
of too great importance to he overlooked hy the
British House of Commons, He IrauP vc <l the A
mcriean Union to ho actuated by a desire cll ‘
crouching upon the dominions of adjoining paw’*
ers in a soutlhcrn direction. The interest of tho
British colonies, situated in the Caribbean Sea,
might become seriously sffected in the event of
these encroachments being made; anil ho, throne
never could consent to the United States extend
ing their boundary so as to occupy Texas, and
ultimately perhaps, to gain poscsston of Mexico.
Under no circumstances could he give his sanc
tion to rhis occupation.
Tho Americans had said that Cuba was so im
portant an island that no European nation, ex
cept Spain, should be permitted to take poscssiou
of it. He (Mr. B. Hoy) would say, on the other
hand, that the province of Texas was u province
so important by its position to the commerce and
naval power of this country,as well as to the inde
pendence of Mexico, that upon no condition what
ever should he allow it to come into the possession
of any American power, with the exception of
Mexico. When Mexico declared herself an inde
pendent state, Mr. Canning had entered into a
treaty with that country, hy which the Mexicans
consented to abolish slavery in their dominions
This stipulation with regard to the abolition of
slavery having been mutually agreed to between
tho contracting parlies, Groat Britain was
bound to co-operate with Mexico, for the purpose
of securing the desired abolition. It was, however
quite notorious that an importation of slaves to
an enormous extent had been recently carried on
from the United States into Texas.
If a procedure of this nature were suffered to
continue, there was nothing binding in treaties
and Ihc immediate abrogation of tho treaty in
question would he the most proper c-ouse to pur
sue. Could America, ho would ask, be persumed
unacquainted with (ho provisions of a treaty
which was not made in secret, and of which she
thus exhibited her utter disregard 1 It could not
be for a moment doubled that Texas was included
m the arrangement; and yet the President of the
of tho United States did not think it necessary to
prevent his subjects train carrying on tho slave
trade within the limits of Texas, and even assist
; ing the revolted slaves in every mode which lay
; within their power. The Iron- gentleman then
alluded to the President’s Ul 'ssage to tho Senate
: of the United States which, spoke of “peremtorily
' demanding an snangotnenl” from the Mexican ■
1 i/ncnmient. Wt;at was lire nature of that do-j

>, ern states, and form a part of the Union.
Lord Palmerston replied, that the hon. gcntlc
nian had not made Out a sufficient case tor the
.1 production oi the correspondence, He admitted
- the importance of the subject, hut affirmed that
the government of the United Stales had acted
e in relation to it, with perfect honor and fairness;
i- and maintained that in the present state of the
t case, there was no ground for the interference of
y England, or for the ptoduclion of the corres
pondence.
c Mr. Ward made the amende to Mr. Forsyth
s the AmericanSccretary of State, whom he had
s formerly charged with having an interest in
Texas lands by which his public conduct had
if been influenced ; hut was now bound to say that
i- having received a communication on the subject
i, from Mr. Forsyth, through a mutual friend, he
was perfectly satisfied that there was no founda
• lion for the charge.
Mr. OVonncll made a speech, reiterating his
- often repeated abuse of this country, but admit
ting that its government “ had behaved with
common decency in reference to Texas.”
The motion was negatived, by a vole of 4)
I, to " 8 -.
t Ministers were subsequently defeated on a
motion for leave to bring in a bill “ to repeal that
portion of the reform act, which requires the pay-
I merit of taxes ar,d rates, in cities and boroughs,
as the condition of registration.” They opposed
. it, hut it was catricd by a majority of 18.

t Fortunes can now be made by those who have
capital. At present prices buyers can afford to
J store and wait the issue of the present times. That
the revulsion is just begun, every indication
proves. In Hinds county, Mississippi, more than
a thousand suits have been brought. Tho citi

believed that it will work well, and that it will
induce capitalists who are now shaving at 3 and :
3 per cent., a month to invest in geod Stocks, by I
which they can obtain from 3to 13 percent, per ■
annum. The enormous rate of interest that is
now paid is eating up tho vitals of the community, 1
and neither industry nor regular business can j
possibly stand such enormous shaves. The tra- ,
ding community had hotter he without the facili- i
tics of trade than to pay thirty to sixty per cent. 1
a year for thorn.
The Shfficld arrived to day; she sailed from j
Liverpool, on the 13th of March. The Cotton \
market had declined. Tho Money market had, j |
however, improved, and things looked better in : I
London. It was feared by many of our met- ■
chants that this packet would bring the failures '
of certain bankers in London, and in consequence
a vast amount of bills would return upon us—
which is not the fact. Private letters that we
have soon, give the names of three hankers, oi ,
high credit, who have had to ask aid and who i
have received it from the Bank of England. It <
was, no doubt, to avoid giving these names that 1
the Barings issued their circular, which is inge- J
naral terms, that they could not recover the bills i,
of agents, or bills drawn by partners residing in S t
this country. Taking this to bo the fact, the Ba- j 1
rings aro iiot only justified, but it is a tender; <
mode of avoiding giving the names of houses 1 1
that might he injurious to them. The Money j ‘

WALL STREET, April 5.
The pressure in the money market continues
without any abulemant. Instead of being bcltcred
it seems worse than ever. There is now no regu
larity in its action—all is impulse, hesiiancy
doubt, alarm. It is almost impossible to give any,
definite statement of the price of money, and the
rale of negotiating commercial paper. Wall street
ties lost its balance wheel, and every thing now
moves by fits and starts. Private loans on paper
aro nearly at an end. In spile of the relief grantee
by the Philadelphia and New York banks the
failures continue. On Monday at least half a
dozen houses caarc down, and one large import
ing house among the number,—Yesterday, owing
to the heavy payments to be made it was feared
more failures had taken place, hut they will not
bo generally known till today.
From the New York Herald.
MONEY MARKET.
Thursday, April 0.
Difficulty is accumulating on difficulty—evil
on evil—disorder on disorder. Every hit of the
once clear blue atmosphere of Wall street is as
gloomy as ever. The famous relief measures
have ‘•melted into thin air.” Yesterday, early in
the day, an arrival, cfg7t/’days later, was announc
• ed, bringing dates to the 13th ult. The news
was eagerly devoured, such as it was. A slight
advance had taken place in tho English stock
market—money in London was represented to he
a little easier—but the cotton market in Liver
pool had receded gos a penny. It was evidently
seen by these facts, that the action of the Bank
of England continued with unabated force on
American produce. As cotton fell, the London
money market got easy, and public securities ad
vanced. This news created a fresh intimidation
and alarm in Wall street.
Coupled with the action of the legislature at
Albany, and the intimations of the government
at Washington, the depression in tho stock and
money markets assumed a deeper hue and a
gloomier aspect.
From the columns of tho “Globe” wc have an
informal announcement of the feelings and inten
tions of the President and his cabinet. It ap
pears that the United Slates Executive and his
honorable ministry view tho attempts made at re
lief, and the efforts of tho merchants of N. York
to pay their honest debts to England, as a merely
corrupt coalition with the aristocracy of a foreign
land. By this novel process of reasoning, we are
given to understand that the democracy at Wash
ington means to break, to fail, to smash and to pay
3 or 3 cents on the dollar. The editor of the gov
ernment paper and one of the members of ths
cabiaet have, therefore, in times past given preg
nant evidences of their democracy, as examples
for all future generations to follow—at a humble
distance, however—without the resumption to
reach the fullest glory of the originals. One paid
a debt of if 14,000, in Kentucky, with §338, and
another, on a debt of §1.500, paid nothing.
The general inference gathered from this im
perfect revelation of the intentions of the govern
ment, is, that the Executive has not yet seen dis
tress enough to be convinced of the necessity of
calling Congress together, or of any financial ac
tion within tho legitimate authority of the Execu
tive alone.
Thus stand affairs at Washington. In Albany
/flatters are worse. Yesterday, early in the day,
intelligence was received in Wall street, that the
law prohibiting any loans foa a higher interest
than 7 per cent, otherwise called the abolition
of usury, bad passed tho House of Assembly. This
single movement perhaps created a greater and
deeper sensation than the bad news from England
and the worse from Washington, Tho entire
suppression of all loans, except at tho legal inter
est, at once put a stop to all discounts—all nego
lalions—all private efforts to raise money.
Bombining all these influences together, rite
effect was tremendous in Wall street. United
Slates Bank sterling post notes fell to par, and
Mortis Canal Bonds were offered at 85 per cent
discount from the face. Few would touch them.
Stocks at once fell the effects of these accumula
ted disorders. United States Bank fell 3 per cent
and the fancy stocks in an equal ratio. The
transactions also arc very inconsiderable.
The failures continue at greater rales per day
than ever took place in the history of commerce
in the United Stales. On Tuesday, as wc feared,
probably a dozen houses come to the ground. A
large importing house, together with several mer
chants and oncl atge builder, fell yesterday —a
dozen in all. We learn also, that one principle
house was also obliged to suspened yesterday,
with a largo surplus of assets on hand. The
course of legislation at Albany—the sullen mys
tery of the Executive at Washington, and the
continued reaction in the English money market
have entirely destroyed the negotiations of the
best commercial paper. Several large house
offered the best paper in the street. They were
met with the remark “the usury law will pass—
the usury law will pass.” At one of the banks
on Tuesday, JifCu-hv; Holes lay over and tho
greater portion Were protested, Wo have yet no
means of asccriaining the amount of destruction
yesterday, but we shall probably know to day.
In the midst of thesu commercial calamities,
every day adds to the number of workmen thrown
out of employment. Yesterday and the day be
fore, probably 500 were discharged, and during
the week we should not be surprised to learn
that 2000 had been added our list of idlers.
The wages of labor is falling, and in a month
the prices of 1033 will prevail all over. Yet, in
the midst of this general fall in price, there is an
effort made by the Wall street corrupt press to
create a panic about the crop of wheat, and thus
to keep up the price of flour, when it ought to be
premilted to fall as every other article is falling.

state of the money raarke*. both m Europe and the
Northern mid Southern seen*.' o3o * United Stales,
has nearly closed all business transactions; confi
dence must bo restored, before we can expect any
change. Tho Banks of our city have .route forward
to relieve the present pressure in our marks', ns tar
as they prudently can, but our business seaso. -1 hav
ing far advanced, and the storks of Cotton in evpry
section of the Southern States being large, it is pro
blematical whether their interposition will retain
present prices; wo think not—and to effect sales, a
further reduction must besubmitted to. Prices range
at this period from 10 a 14 cents, and it must be a
very superior lot, to obtain the latter price.

Colton —The pressure upon the cotton market hat
continued unabated throughout tho week, and prices
daily ol American sorts have given way under the
anxiety of holders to effect sales. Our quotations
generally are f to I lower—but this redaction does
not give the buyers confidence. As this has been
destroyed solely by the imsltlcd stale of pecuniary
transactions, it will not be again re established until
the money market resumes a greater degree of regu
larity and stoadinos-. All other descriptions have
dec kited iu the same rate as the American, but with
little facility of sales even at this depression ; 1150
