It will be seen byrference loan advertisement in our columns to-day, of the Trustees for sustaining the blind of this State, capable of education, at the Institutions for the blind in the States of Ohio or Ken'.ucky, that liberal and ample provision has been made by the Legislature 'of our State on this subject; and the only maiier to be apprehen? ded is, that all those who are blessed with sight and who may even notice the advertisement, and learn thus the facility with which our blind may be educated, will not personfilly intelest themselves in searching out the unfortunate blind of their vicinity, and having applications made without delay to the Trustees for their instruction. The State Journal says: We bave no doubt the Editors of papers in the State will cordially do their part towards awakening public attention to the subject; but does it not devolve on Ministers of the Gospel, Gentlemen of the Bar, Merchants, County officers, and all men to take a personal interest iu carrying out the benevolent designs of the Legislature? Let it be known then, that provision has been made by revenue, most, cheet fully paid by the people, for the instruction of the blind ot tins state, capable of receiving an education, (where friends are unable to pay for them,) "for the cuhivation of their intellects, for the training of their moral natures, and for imparting to them trades, which will enable them to gain a livelihood by houest and independent industrv; that those blind chil dren, who have hitherto been dependent and helples3.burdens upon their friends, will be sustained by ihe Stale at Institutions in the adjoining Stitcs in successful operation,vhere their wants are provided for, their peculiar privations meets with appropriate care, where in sickness ihey are tenderly nursed, and in health their happiness is promoted, and their characters carefully developed: and from thence they tetnrn to their friends, well-train ed for self-support: intelligent and happy.' For all particulars, in regard to the applications for pupils, information can be found bv caliinsr at the Auditor's office in pji-li county--as is stated iu the advertisement Michigao has more than her share of this world's greatness in Congress, with Cass in the Senate and Ctipman in the" House. The latter has been recently roakmg a speech up on the Oregon question. The correspondent . of the Boston Journal relates "How Chipman of Michigan the illustri ous electrified for a full hour the house and and galleries, now, in restrainless eloquence, ssservating once more, that the present sys tem ot education "had perveiited Ihe designs or i rovidence, aud made man a Whig" now f ; pasionately imploring Hon. gentlemen "not to go loo iar in tne middle extreme, and to bewar lest in avoiding Scylla they steered right into carry bobus, which continued 'he, when a shout of laughter had somewhat subsided, "I will not now stay to translate. Mr. Chairman," said he, in an ecstacy of pa triotism, "If there war a Biitish frigate down in that 'ar Potomac river, loaded up to her Capitol, while I am now addressing you, and was required to give up one square yard of Oregon, or, sir, one peble Hint the mighty ' waves of the Pacific have washed into the form of an oblong triangle, I would say, sir, Fire! Fire, sir!'

NEWS BY THE CAMBRIA. We give below the most interesting portions of the late news from England brought by the Cambra, It is considered at the East highly gratifying. From Wilmer Sf Smith's European Times, Feb. 4. The Steamship Cambria, commanded by our excellent and esteemed friend, Captain Judkins, lakes out to day the most important and gratifying intelligence that ever left the shores of Great Britain;- Sir Robert Peel England's powerful and "brilliant Ministerhas developed his future commercial policy.

It is at once simple and comprehensive: and under its operation the exchange of commo dities between this country (England) and .iwt tri. nt i. tne uunea states win oe carrieu to an extent, and will be mutually productive of advantages, greater, to quote not irreverently, the words of the sacred volume "than the eye nam yet seen, or me heart hath con ceived." The new scheme embraces, with a full sense of their importance, the principles of Iree trade repudiate all protection for commerce, manufactures aud agriculture; admits corn, duty free, at the end of three years, with a scale, in the interim, which will probably oscillate between, four aud six shillings per quarter, and at once admits Indian corn and buckwheat free of all duty whatever. , To the details of this great measure we earnestly entreat the attention of our commercial readers. We beg to refer them to the speech itself, and to our remarks upon it. Great Britain, at the present moment, is in a blaze of excitement; men talk and think of nothing else; they have set their hearts upon securing the great fiscal scheme, for the regeneration of the country, which the Premier has laid before Parliament, and they desire to curtail the period fixed for the total extinction of the corn laws. The friends of peace and progression, on this side of the water, hope earnestly and .sincerely hope that the new policy will bind America to us by the ties ot amity, brotherhood and iuterest, and that the miserable .squabbling about a barren waste will give way to more liberal, civilized, and comprehensive views. Ihe immediate effects of the new tariffon the most prominent articles of American exports we have noticed elsewhere. Altogeth er the subject in its various phrases, is the most important that ever crossed the Atlan tic since the introduction of ocean navigation; and all that is now wanting is for the Government and people of the United States to meet us in a kindred spirit and in the true epirit of commerce and of friendship forget the past, and run in generous race of mutu al happiness and prosperity for the future.

SIR ROBERT PEEl's SPEECH. Parliament met on the 22d of January and was opened by the Queen in person. Her Majesty's speech which we give below is not at all beligerent, and is as follows: Mir Lords and Gentlemen: It gives me great satisfaction to meet you in Parliament, and to have the opportunity of recurring to your assistance and advice. i continue 40 receive from my allies, and from other Foreign Powers, the strongest as surrance of the desire to cultivate the most friendly relations with this- country. I re joice that in concert with the Emperor of Russia, and through the success of our joint meditation, I have been enabled to adjust the differences which had long prevailed be tween the Ottoman Porte aud the King ol Persia, and had seriously endangedthe tran quihty of the East. For several years a des olating and sanguinary warlare had afflicted the States of the Iljo de la Plata. The commerce of all nations has been interrupted, and acts of barbarity have been committed, unknown to the practice of a civilied people In conjunction with the King of the French, i am endeavoring to effect a pacihcat.ion ol those States. The Convention concluded with France, in the course of last year, for the more ettectual suppression of the slave trade, is about to be carried into immediate execution .by the active co-operatron of the two powers on the coast of Africa. Jt is my desire that our preseut union, and the good, understanding which so happily exists between us, may always be enjoyed to promote the interests of humanity, and to se cure the peace of the world. I regret thai the conflicting claims of Great Britain and the United stales in respect to the territory on the North Western coast of America, al though they have been made the subject of repeated negotiation, still remains unsettled You may be assured that no effort consistent with national honor shall be wanting on my part to bring this qaestiou to an early and peaceful termination. Gentlemen of the House of Commons. The estimates lor the year will be laid be fore you at an early period. Although I am deeply sensible of the importance of etiforc iug economy in all branches of the expendi ture, yet I have been compelled, by a due regard to the exigencies of the public service and to the state of our naval and military establishments, to propose some increase in the estimates which provide for their efiici encv. Mu Lords and Gentlemen I have observ ed, with deep regret, the very frequent in stances in which the crime of deliberate as sassination has . been ot late committed in frelnt-i't It tirJU ha vmir rlnlif fri trnnairlAr whether any measures can be deyised cal-

culated to give increased protection to life and to bring to justice the perpetrators of so dreadful a crime. I hive to jament that, in consequence of t lie failure of the potato crop in several purls of the Uuited Kingdom.there will be a deficient supply of an article of food which forms the chief subsistence of great numbers of my people. The disease by which the plant has been effected has prevailed to the utmost extent in Ireland. 1 have adopted all such precautions as it was in my power to adopt for ihe purpose of alleviating thesufferings which may be caused by this calamity, and I shall confiden Jy rely on your co-operation in devising such other means for efleciing the same benevolent purposes as may require the sanction of ihe Legislature. I have had great satisfaction in giving my assent to the measures which you have presented to me from time, calctited to extend commerce and to siimulatedo-

mestic skill and industry, by the repeal -of prohibitory, and the relaxation of protective, dnlies. The prosperous state ol the Reve-

you have pursued. I recommend you to takecouut of any thing in the aspect of affairs,

into your eaily consioeraiion whether the with reference to the United states, that Her principles on which you h.tve acted may not Majesty's Government made this increase.with advantage be yet more extensively ap; He, for his part, had for some time thought plied, whether it may not be in your power, that the efficiency of the military force of this

alter a careful ieview of the existing dutiesountry at its present amount was too much

upon many article?, the produce or manufac ture of other countries to make such further reductions and remissions as may tend to insure the continuance of the great benefits to which I have, adverled, and, by enlarging our commercial Intercourse, to strengthen tne bonds of unity with Foreign Powers. Any measures which you may adopt for effecting these great objects will, I am convinced, be accompanied by such precautions as shall prevent permanent loss to the reve nue, or injurious results to any of ihe great interests ot the country. I have full reliance on your just and dispassinate consideration of matters so deeply affecting the public welfare. It is my earnest prayer that with the blesjings of Divine Providence on your councils, you may be enabled to promote friendly feelings between different classes of my jects, provide additional security lor the continuance of peace, and to maintain con tentment and happiness at home, by increas ing the comlorls of ihe great body of my peo pie. On the next day in the House of Com-! mons, Mr. Hume introduced the relations of Ureat JJritain and the United Slates. He said he hoped the Prime Minister would be able to preserve ihe eood understanding 0 0 which existed between ihe two nations. It was in The power, he said, of England and France to preserve ihe peace of the world. He approved heartily of the Queen's recommendation of an increase of the naval and military force of the country, which he was sure would meet the anorohatinn nf Houseaiidiiiianlie expressrjmne"Triore gratification with this "when he found the chief magistrate of a great country, from whom he expected better things, venture to set at naught all those rules and regulations which civilized nations observed towards each other ." Sir Robt. Peel responded to this as fol lows: "I never entertained the slightest (mora(tension that any contrast between the lan guage in her majesty's speech in reference to those tinlortunate disputes that still prevail between this country and Ameiicn, and that which has been used by the chief magistrate of the United States, would have been made in this House. I never thought that that could be mistaken or misrepresented. Wn have no hesitation in announcing our sincere desire, for the interest of this country, for the interest ot the United States, aud for the in terests of the civilized world, in continuing lo strain every effort which is coniisteniJwith national honor, for the purpose of amicably terminating those disputes. Hear. ' I never had any apprehension that our intentions or. our language would be misrepresented; and the speech which the lion, frentloman (Mr. Hume.) the uniform and consistent ad . H H1H l vocal e of the strictest economy, has just mude confirms me that my anticipations will not be disuppoimed. Cheers. And if any proposal -which her majesty's Government may leel it their duly to make for the maintenance of essential rights, or of ihe national honor, shall be responded to and supported by this House, then let me not be mistaken. I think it would be the greatest misfortune if a contest about the Oregon between two such powers as England and the U. States could not, by the exercise of moderation and good ser.f e, by brought to a perfectl) honorable and satisfactory conclusion." (Hear.) Lord John Russell ihe next day alluded to the same subject, and said he wished for some explaination of the passage in the speech referring to the Oregon questionsHe concurred with others in thinking peace with the United Slates extremely desirable. He proceeded as follows: Bat certain statements had been put forth in America, and had been reported to have been made to the Congress of the United Slates, which made it desirable that some explination should be given on the subjact. He had thought the President of the United Mates had last year made declarations to Congress on this subject which were not cnn. formable to the usage of civilized countries or 10 tne inenoiy relations ot the two states: but it would appear, however, that a propo sition for a compromise had been made from the President lo her Majesty's government, and he (Lord John llussell) conceived that ihe proposition had changed the state of the question. The proposition itself might be satisfactory or not satisfactory ; but. having been made, it did appear to him to require a statement from those in authority in this country of the terms on which they would be satisfied to settle this question. That proposition, as he undetstood. had not been received by her Majesty's government, but had been declared to be totally inadmissible by

cr Minister in America. He (Lord John isscll) confessed he thought that was a hasiproceeding on the part of the representa te of her Majesty in the United States. It what he wished to ask was, whether the igotiations had recommenced ot were go yon? lie was not desirous that the pairs should be presented to the House: he ts willing to leave the negotiation in the inds of her Majesty's government until they

uld stale that a saiisfacrory result had been lained, before he asked for any information the particular stale of the negotiations.he word with respect to what had fallen rm the honorable member from Montrose fer Majesty tequired the attention of the ouse to the increase in the estimates which rovided for the efficiency of the military and aval services. He could well understand that with the inTeased possessions of this country abroad iiid the consequently increased demands on he services of our military and naval forces n every part of the world, there misfit be hing threatened on any side; and. he trusted hat it was on these grounds, and not unacried, and that too much was demanded from hat force. He next referred to the interference of the French and English in the afftirs of the Argentine Republic. He expressed some doubt whether the alleged acis of batbaritv orowng out of the existing hostilities there, would institute sufficient ground for such iatqrlerence, and expressed a wish for information an this subject. Sir Robert Peel said he was not prepared to gve an 8,,8wer 10 the questions that had been jut in regard to Oregon he made the following ery imporiHiil declarations: 'Willi regard to the Oregon ttrrilory.'I Iitve o statu thai a preposition was made by Mr. 3uchanan, with ihe authority of the President of .he United Slates, to Mr. Pakrnliain, and the proposal so made suggests a division of the ter-sub-luave been accented I cannot av.

Whether or not that proposal oahl to Air. raken I (1 111 lUUUjgllh 1 1 1 1 ItllllO IIVJUU . d C C LF 1 I II I f likely to be acceptable, that he did not feel h im -self warranted in transmitting the proposal to the government at home; anl on signilying this to Mr. Buchanan, the latter immediately stated ttiai the proposals was withdrawn. This is the state of the negotiation at present, so far as I am informed, respecting the proposal submitted by Mr. Buchanan. 1 have the highest opinion of Mr. Pakenliam ; I have the greatest respect for his talents and the greatest confidencs in his judgement, yet 1 must say it would have been belter had lie transmitted thai proposal to the home Government lor their consideration, and if found in ilselt unsatisfactory it might have formed the to nidation lor a further proposal. (Hear,) Since that period this country has again repeated to the United Slates their offer ot referring the matter to arbitration, but no answer lias yet been received te the proposal eo made. FKANCE. M. Guizot has noticed the remarks ot Mr. Polk's niessege relative to war and Texas. - M. Guizot had accordingly felt surprised at ibeJanpuaae used by the President in his message, aTla tTf tiag ctnfnroorro tv ni a..y in reply for France, an entire independence ot action. .Ho next examined the commercial reasons which had ind uced Francs to recognize the independence ol Texas in 1838, and rendered her anxious lo m limain it in 1845. The political considerations had been ot a still greater weight. There were at present, he said, firee powerlul nations intent on aggrandizing beyo.id measure their territories England, Russia and the United States. France was not extending her dominions. In Africa she had made a conquest it was her honor and interest to preserve, but the bounds ot which she would not overstep. It was of the highest importance to France that those three nations should balance each other's power, and that none of them should obtain a preponderating influence. She was consequently interested in protecting the independence of the American States. UI8ASTCB TO TBB FCGNCH IN A LGEBI A. The French papers give an account of a horrid disaster winch overt 10k a iJetacnment of the French army in the province af Consiantine. in the midst ota arge plain, the column was overtaken by a heavy tail of enow, wlnclt continued two days, in which the poor fellows were obliged to bivouac.

The bonds of Indiana are now rated at 42 cents to the dollars in New York. The NewYork Morning News, in view of this fct, makes the following calculation as to the profits of an investment in Indiana bonds: A great feature of the markeis is the reviving credits of the States. Illinois promptly paid the li mill lax levied in cash to commerce paymentson an account of the Stale interest in July, 184G. The State of Indiana has passed a similar law, aud its bonds at present piices offer the best investment ; that is lo say, for $120 a bond may be purchased having 3U0 bank interest to January, 1847, making together .$1,300. In 1813 he will receive trom the State $25 interest, which on his outlay of $120 is o per cent, per annum. He has also a demaud upon the canal revenues for a similar sum. IT the canal .yields no revenue up to 1S53, he then will have stock for 1 ,390, with the arrearage of six instalments of $25 each, making $150 added, being $1,450, on which thereafter he gets 5 per cent per annum, or $72 per annum, or 17i per cent, for his outlay; or he will, aP.er getting 6 per cent, for his money, receive at the end of six years $1,450 for $420 expended. Beauty of Irish Females. Du Solle, in his last letter to the Philadelphia Tnnaa, dated at Dauhlin, says : The muu renders a promenade somewhat unpleasant; bul; has caused us 10 notice to day one thing that it may not seem improper to mention the ladies iu walking, raise their apparel still higher than they do iu London. Nor have they ny reason. generally speaking, to ashamed ol that same, (you see we have caught the Hiberniaism already) for their boots are small and prettily made and they fit them! Speaking of Irish women, let us add, while we think ot it, that we met. with more really handsome faces in one hour's walk this morning on the Grand Parade, and along St. Patrick street, than we beheld during a three weeks sojurn in Englaud. A highly grecoi'ul carriage .seems too common . And even among Ihe humble, scan tily-clotlied girls in the markets, or those hard-working ones that go staggering under the weight of large tubs on their heads, or larger baakeia strapped to their shoulders, we observe much of the elements of female beauty."

(fc-The following Irom the Baltimore

American, of the 23rd. is full of sound sense : The United States and Great Bri tain -The recent intelligence from Eng land of Sir Robert Peel's' proposed reduction of duties upon breadstuff's and ptovi sion, seems to be generally regarded as indicative of an early and an amicable seltlement of the territorial difficulties between that Government and our own. The truih appears to he that there is a double game going on, in which each party seeks to gain its ends by putting the o;heron the back, according to the Paul Clifford m;ixim that "insinivaiion is better than fluster." For example Our Adrnin'siral'on pro poses to break down the protective system in order that England, fascinated by ihe prize of the rich market of the Uni ted Slates, may be unwilling to risk the loss of it on any account. She will not g to war with us--such is ihe inference but will find some plausible pretext lor yielding the whole of Oregon with as good grace as possible. Gorged with the spoils of our manufactures and artisans, ' like an overfed vulture, she will cast a sleepy eye towards the far distant valley of the Columbia, and not trouble herself to do more than lazily flap her wing at the loss of prospective feast in that quarter, while a richer banquet lies be-, fore her here. "Suppose," says the Union "that Congress should reduce the rates of duties and thus open the American ports to the introduction of English goods; upon ihe piesumption that commercial advantages of such consequence lo Great Britain would be duly appreciated.it is reasonable, likewise, to believe that she would be particularly anxious to preserve them.'' Or to put the supposiiion iu another and more direct form viz: that by the reduction of our rates of duiies Great Britain "should be influenced peaceably to concede what we demand" then ihe whole system of po litic strategy is seen at once. On the other hand, Sir Robert Peel, not to be outdone in generous courtesy and benevolence, no sooner perceives the' movement on this side of the -water than he suddenly resolves to change his whole policy. The corn laws ate logo; Indian corn and buck wheat, bacon and pork, great agricul tural staples of the West, are to be admitted into Great Britain free of Duty; and now it will be seen, argues the shrewed minister, whether those rampant Democrats' in the Uniied States generally, and in theMississipni vallev Dirliciilarlv, will venture again lo raise the crv of the "whole of Oregon or none," and lose the British market for their provisions by a war to resist and repel British pretensions in the Oregon. Such is the game of check and counter check. The administration here would g;iin credit for bold, de ided, fearless action: ii would draw to itself the national admiration for its hish spirit and thorough American lone ; it claims the whole of Oregon a s Amer icaa soil, part and parcel of the heritage of freemen; rejects arbitration and every mode of adjusting the coutroversy which might involve a partition of the territory or a doubt as to our title, war speeches are male; the patriotic sentiments of the people is appealed to and the democracy are especially summoned to stand by this bold and fearless Administration. In the meantime, however, it makes no preparation for war; lakes no mea sures to enloice its title to Oregon against the adverse claims of England; but whispers across the water, sotto voce, "You need not be alarmed, Sir Robert, at the fuss we are making: we do not iutend to hurl a hair of your wig. This Oregon country is no great things, any way, and to you it is of no account whatever. Bat we can make immense capital by getting it, to please our people. The Baltimore convention said it was ours, and we must have it. Make some pretext for giving it up, my dear sir, and in return you shall have the whole Union, Oregon and all, as a market for your goods A gentleman ofyour s-igacity cannot fail to )erceive what a bargain England would have in this arrangement, by which she would exchange a distant hunting ground in which a few wild animals are' her prey, for a great country -where she can run down at pleasure a multitude of rival manufactures, who, by the way, are mostly Whigs, and equally odious. Sir Roben, lo both of us." The amount of self-glorificatiou which would be appropriated by Mr. Polk and his partisans if Oegon up to the line of 54 40' should be thus acquired; the exultations which would be uttered over the humiliation of England at her apparrent intimidation who cannot imagine them? Or, rather, who can imagine them? But Mr. Joiiu Bull, though a great trader, is also as a landed gentleman he is very le-j nacious of his territorial pretensions. He 1 apt to be scrupulous, moreover on a point of honor, and possesses au obstinacy whicu renders him very reluctant lo swallow his own words, or to draw back bis foot when he has once put it forward. He has announced publicly he has rights in Oregon which be will maintain. Doubtless it would be a great thing lo get possession of ihe United Slates' market and break up ;he American system of rival manufacturers. London would illuminate and Manchester run wild with joy. Theie is a vast trade coming 011 between ihe West Pacific coisi and China and the East Indies, and besides, it would look loo much like backing out. Possibly the American market may begot and a foot in Oregon preserved too. The tactics of the British ministry, in pursuance of some such conclusion as this, have been already mentioned. And now what is to be the issne of this dealing and double dealing this backing and filling to get the weaiher gauge? Will the Administration compromise the Oregon question for the sake of the free admission of Indian corn, pork, and bacon into the British ports, or will it adhere to its exclusive claim and trust everything to the unwillingness of England to forfeit the advantages of a great market tor her goods here under a reduced American tariff? The question, which of the two parties shall give up territorial rights (each considering that it has such righjs) for commercial advantages still remains unanswered; and to this question we do not find in the late intelligence from Engine any materials out of which to frame a satisfactory answer.

From the Louisville Journal. English and American Tariff Policies

ll is well thai ihe people of this country should have a clear preception of the effect of the step towards free traae, which seems about to be laken in England and the United Slates, upon the industrial interests of. the two countries respectively. England has fur centuries pursued most rigidly and thoroughly the policy ofprotecting her home industry, and it requires an analysis ' of her present commercial project to determine whether iri point of fact lier concession to" free trade is an abandonment of that policy, or a compulsory selection between her two leading interests, manufacturing and agri-' cultural an adroil movement in behalf of. the former, which is unquestionably her predominating interest. Up to a recent date,' England attempted to give equal protection to boih ihose interests, or, in more accurate language,she attempted to maintain hermanufactuiing ascendancy, and at ihe same time secure lo her farmers ihe monopoly of the home supply of provisions. This policy has caused manufacturing rivals to spring up in seveial quarters of the globs, and within the. last few years she has beheld the United Slates not 'only supplying our home demand for many manutaclures, but competing with her in the supply of the world. Finding at length that she could not continue to be the works! op of the globe without cheap provisions to feed her operatives, seeing her manufacturing ascendancy departing, actually el bowed out of some of her principal markeis by Yankee entetprise and ingenuity backed by cheap food, she is al last compelled to de clare in fuvor of manufactures upon which her nsceiidancy and glory must rest or forever depart. The concession of free-lrade in England is indeed the abandonment of protection to her lauded interests, but at the same time, it is the best possible protection to her manufacturing interests. There never was a doubt on this side of the water that this is her true policy, and our manufacturers have seen the advantage which the contrary policy gave them. But that policy was adhered to until we have become emphatically a manufacturing people, until avast manufacturing interest has arisen in the United States. It is now a question of ihe highest importance to deteimine whether we'shall be induced, by a compulsory liberality on the part of England, solo modify our own commercial regulations as to hazard or mateiially impair those interests. . Our true rivalry with England is in manufactures The difference between the two countries is ibis. England's concession lo lieerirade, is protection to her manufacturesjour concession to fiee-tradeis a blow lo our manufactures. English freetrade strengthens her manufacturing interests and Vends to give them predominance over those of all other .nations: American "fiff-lrsrlf? imnairs A rrreriaii mann taMnrin(T interests end tends to promote, those of her rival. It remains to be seen whether the people of this country can be cheated iuto an abandonment of their own interests, and into a policy eminently calculated to promote the interests of theirirteat manufaduiingand commeicial rival. The compensation offered by Sir Robert Peel to the farming interests of England, viz: the free iutiofuction of Indh.n corn ;s .bod lor cattle, is'aiiogeiher illusory. It is calculated to deceive the -people of this country as well as his own. We Stated yesterday that a large amount of Indian corn 'will bo exported, bul on reflection we have ubflonbl lhat opinion was eiroueous. The article CHnuot be exported to England, except during one or two months of the year, without damage. Il can never, from its peculiar liability Jo swell and spoil from heat and moisture, become an article of heavy exportation, unless indeed some process be discovered to preserve it without injuring iis quality. The prospect is lhat we shall lose at least as much in the home demand lor agiicultural products as we shall gain in ihe foreign, by auy modification ofour tariff tending to repress manufacturing industry al borne aud promote it abroad. It has become a question simply where the manufacturing shall be done -wheiher al home, by our own citizens and with our owu capital;at home,where ihe provisions are produced to feed ihe operatives; or abroSid, to the advantage of foreigners, and where the provisions musl be brought from a country three to four thousand miles distant.. Is it cheaper, is it better for the public interest, for ihe people of the United Slates lo patronise foreign work-shops, and send their provisions thousand -of miles lo exchange for clothing, or to have work-shops at their very doors from which, by ihe same process of exchange, to obtain their supplies of manufactures? Good or Bad Fortune. When Louis Phillipe was in this country, obtaining a scanty living by teaching school, he fell in loe withaiadyin Philadelphia, who was favorably disposed; but her parents could not consent to her marrying a schoolmaster, however illuslraous his origin. The lady suppo ses at this day lhat she missed a crown. She is mistaken. When these royal scions marry an honest American lady, they never elevate her to the throne, ifeyen they can reach it. She is considered of loo mean origin, and is divorced, to prepare for a Queen of royal blood. Il is birth, not merit. When Jerome Bonaparte visited this country, ihe poorest of his race, he married a Baltimore lady of great respectability, but when made king of Westphalia, she was not permitted to share his elevation, but was divorced, and sent home. Our women should always remember that they marry the only legimate sovereigns when giving their hands lo American citizens. Ar. F. Sun. NEW SPRIMJ AND SUMMER GOODS, ine ;ew ana 1 neap More of J.
