First of all, is old Harry Clay-r-r-old in teputaUop, though not so in age. There he sits, a far off to the right, behind Dan. Webster whose noble forehead reminds johe of an old Roman castle, aimed with veteran troops, and impregnable to all the assaults of the enemy—there he is, tall and ipajesiic-^-peichaps, however, I should not have said majestic, since his feet are rare-Jcr-sly resting upon his de*k. Various printed reports are under them no great sign, I fancy, of the value he puts upon fhcfii. What a lofty forehead he has! with the eye, the nose, the cheek of an Indian Prophet. 11'»« hands are clashed—his brow fixed, and with his cbin resting on his breast, he is ruminating some great national question. 1 like his mouth prodigiously—in fact it is a prodigious mouthas wide and as smooth as a Connecticut cl:tm«hc!l and then it contains within it words as smooth and as slippery as a clamshell's meat, Ah! something has brought him to his feet. "Mr. President!" What a sort, silvery, simple utterance he gives the word, What a fine six fool figured fellow! His gestures, too, so natural—now lifting them with on easy motion to his head, and now they meet like his conelisten, in one roncentercd point. But, he is Ojily suggesting to the Senate—the question before it, is not one of great moment (Rise Harry would do the business in quite a difTerent?tyle. If the honor, the reputation, lite interest of the country were at stake, lie would make you feel every sort of way from the maddened indignation of the sou), down to the calm sunshine of the heart. 5 To Use one of his own images, he would '%1* cense to crawl along with the snail like progress of the sluggish Mississippi craAs!f matt,waiting on the aid of wind but, supelike the noble steamboat,dashprow every impediinent,be down all opposition.

He perceives his fault be repeats his proposition, "Do you observe, sir! am 1 right/" It is self-evident!! Again tbey are on the same track. What a cloud of thought to Webster's brow! It is gathering slowly, only to burst like an electric shock in some pointed rcfily. But Calhoun has built up hisargument with too much cau (top. He has banged out conductors on all sides of it.

In society of any kind he Is more at home than any man with whom 1 have ever met. He has all the accomplishments of Lord Boluigbroke stamped into the mould of nature. 1 wish from my soul, that he had a better voice—J»is stoop I could easily excuse.

By his side, you observe a tall, portly ooking person—with a playful eye, and countenance ripe with eloquence. lie is Preston, the other Senator from S. Caroina—decidedly the first oeator in the Senate, so far as mere oratory-goes. If you had never been told so,you way have traced his relationship to Patrick Henry, in the full blooded veins of his forehead. He js grace all over—und^that awkward hump in the shoulder is all affectation. But as Davie Crockett would s$y,

4,he

working agin nature"—he cannot do it. Did you ever hear I'reston when animated? then you recollect lus peculiar powers. Just like a cataract—now dashing and tumbling precipitously along, sweeping in its course, eafth, tree and rock and now, flouting like a gentle stream over spangled sands glittering under the gorgeous rainbows of tbe ppray above. His language, his gesture, his figure arcwtll poetry. He is the Apollo Belvidere a&tlie Senate. I tin re but one reason to urge why he uhould change his wig -—its redness. In all other respects, it is the most graceful auxiliary to his eloquence imaginable. Behold him! In Ihe most maddened strain, he is bringing down the severest maledictions on the heads of the present administration. His hands are raised convulsively with what terrible effect they are brought to hit head the whole man shrink from the grasp and his whole body has paused in attitude of the most breathless silcnce. Now, allot that was trick trick from the beginning to the ending it was planned artd executed chiefly to adjust his wig, which, in the warmth of his argument had slipped from its proper position. Thfe great fault of Preston is that he speaks too much. Great men sometimes fritter away their abilities by making It too common. Let him take care.

That amiable, thrifty looking personage to the right of Preston, is Forsyth of Georgia. He has on a brown coat,and Nankeen pantaloons, wove in Rhode Island, out of cotton from hiscrwn plantation in Georgia. He smiles complacently now but,now more so than ever he has in pocket an appointrfitont to the office of Secretary of State. His hair which is very full, is suffered to grow too long, and his whiskers, which are pray, he should most assuredly cutofl,if he does not wish to resemble Afartin too much. He speaks well, and is the ablest administration man in the Senate. He can catch a wink from the Vice Presidents? quick as mink. S

Behind Forsyth, yourcje can't help resting upon a plump, tobacco chewing, jolly looking fellow, in figure like a bottle oi best Burgundy—all the world oyer. I do not wish to insinuate that he drinks the aforementionG/j article, though one might naturally enough

venture

upon such a pre

sumption, from the rubicunuity of his face. This i« honest Felix Grundy honest as the easiest handled tool of the President. *To thfe right of Felix, is a thin long noaed, straight forwnrd old gentleman, with a voice seldom above a whisper, but always audible. He speaks well, and was owe the friend,but now the enemy of the udmiiiiftrotion.

Away off yonder, in a seat under the gaflery, sits keen, black-eyed man a pedlar in appearance, busy with his pen. He is writing a speech in reply to some one. He never speaks extempore, and cannot even make a ipotion without first putting it on pnper. 1 mention him for his singularity not because he takes any conspicuous stand in the Senate. He is lame, sad im.ps as much in bis person as he does in bis pditkau He is Isaac Hill, the man, as Davy Crockett has it,

raoH THE SOUTUEBN AGMCL'Wl'll A LIST. OX TUB MANAGEMENT OF HORSES wiirijsrr TRAVELLING, As it if your request,! will now endea vol* to say something about the treatment of a horse upon a journey, though I assure you that you haveffaveiled much more than I have. I will, however, say how I would treat my nags. t:'

It is of great importance that the horse be in good condition before the journey commences— not very fat: he shall tat nothing but the most solid food for sometime before you start nothing light or green for nine out of ten will founder if Ted on green food. Early in the morning give a lew swallows of water for some horses will not eat without, particularly if feverish at night.. Give thrqe quarts of corn soon after the water he should not be limited in fodder, but let him have it'before him from the time he is put up at night till you start. Give hiin «s much water as lie will drink bu/ore you start travel slowly for the first hoer, for many horses are foundered from the body becoming hot, when full ofceld water^ust as when the reverse happens, filling the body with cold water when it is hot. Give about a gallon ofcold water frequently, for by giving a small quantity often, the stomach is kept more cool,and there is less danger.

Twice or three times during the day, put about a pint of corn-meal and a little salt into the water, and stir it well in. Whenever you water on the road, move off the horse immediately, to slqnd still after drinking is very wrong. -When you stop for any time, say an hour or so, do not water I'll 2'0U going o'flw I never give cbrn during the day—three or four quarts of oats may be given, and fodder or hay, for the quantity he will cat will not injure him. In hot, dusty weather, it is very gratifying to the horse to wash or wipe the face, and the inside of the nostrils with a sponge and cold water, and if you add a little vinegar it is better —do this at the time of and DSfore watering. When you slop for the night let the horse'go into a lot to wallow, and walk about for half an hour, then let a fey bundles of fodder or hay be given him while he is rubbed, curried, and brushed, and afterwards as plentifully as he can be given. When cool have his legs washed with soap and cold water, and the feet picked out, and then let ljim have his fill of water, but without salt. Becarel^ that the horse alwajs eats some fodder before he gels his corn: giye a strong large horse eight quarts of corn at night, or as many ears as are equal to it—it is better to feed on the ear than to shell it, as Ihe horse eats not so fast, and will perhaps eat less. If the corn is hew, give out half the quantity, always give oats in the morning if to be got six quarts will not injure a horse. If the horse gets galled, wash the parts with strong whiske) and water. 1 yodr horse becomes dull and heavy on the journey, or looses his appetite, tie a lump of gum assafcetida on his bit, covered or wrapped in a strong rag. This may be continued for the whole journey, and I believe prevents his taking any distemper if put with sick horses, or in stables where ^lp have been: it is also a w*eventalive of founder.

Horses sometimes get Inmeon fhe roacl without any apparent cause. It is generally from being improperly shod. There ire such various notion? as to the treatment of a hor§p when foundered, that it is difficult to know what to say upon the subject. I would bleed freely from the neck— give a pint ol whiskey, with a little'warin water and molasses, with a lump of alum about the siase of a nutmeg dissolved in it, and urge the horse on his journey. TT B*' jl

POTATOES.—Try it—Those who are fond of baked or roasted potatoes, will be gratified by trying the following method

Place thern clean on the bottom of a bake pan or keltic, dispersing with the cover—hang them oyer the fire, and shovel the conls on them. It will be as quick and as cheap as any other method of cooking them and they are not so soggy as when baked under the cover, nor burnt as they commonly arc when roasted on the hearth and the flavor will be excellent.

Immediately several persons ran to the place, and found a man with his throat cut, his head bruised, and stripped of all his clothe® and a perron was observed to ran from the plate and take refuge in an adjoining yard he was compelled, however, to rvtreat thence and jumped into the dock here, after several attempts to dive and hide himself, he was taken.

The nalure of the Turkish little known to people generally, as the Ttekish character. Some of its parts are curious enough.

The Turksinsist on the unity of Godfi They believe that the Saviour was die son of the Virgin Mary, arid was conceived by the "Rauah," which is the breath or spirit of God. They believe that he was a great prophet—that he had the power of perfor ming miricles-*-lhathe foretold the coming ofMahomet, who is also no more than a prophet.* They believe that Christ shall cometojudge tbe world—that he will reign forty years in Damascus,during which time Anti-Chfist shall arise,after whose destruction, Christ shall ascend into Heaven, and then the day of judgement shall be held. They believe that the Gospel was sent to Jesus as the^Law was sent to Moses, and the Psalins to David, 1

They believe in all the Prophets of the Old Testament—thef believe in Paradise, in Hell, but not in Purgatory. Instead of this, they have a place calle ^Aiaff' to be inhabited by those who have led an insignificant life, in which the good and evil are tfbout equally balanced. The Paradise of Mahomet is sensual lovely gardens, fair fruits, fresh fountains, flowing rivers of milk & wine, the sotig of the llouris— every thing is addressed to the senses. So it is also with theii Hell-rrlhe picked are to drink scalding water, and to eat the bitter fruit of Zacon. Still, awhile they have hopes, if ihcirJitifh reproof against torment, after all their sins are waghed away in the waters of SolzaboicI, they are admitted into Paradise. But^o those who have no faith, the fires of Hell,are eternal. The Turks believe injalalism* as is well known it is this, in connexion with the reward of Paradise to those who die in battle, which makes the Ottoman soldier a formidable foe-*—JV. Y. Courier* &

A ROYAL BANKRUPT.

'A meeting of the creditors of Sjr Windham Anstrulher,Bart. took place on Thursday and a splendid meeting at was! It will be recollected that'Capt. Anstruther, formerly of the Guards, and the first love of Vestris after her separation from her husband, became so reduced by his fashionable and expensive tollies, that he for some years subsisted by playing at the Ma* gate and other provincial theatres, under the name of Beresford, on £1 per week. The accidental death of his nephew, a boy at Eton, suddenly elevated him to the Baronetcy, with a fortune ol £11*000 per annunrt^and iundcy personals. This unexpected frcatf of fortune occurred about 3 I ears since and, will it be believed that, in

Tm€hf+»irt^nncmikhs, the Bacooct baa con-

tr trived to dissipate neaily his whole rental, and also enthral himsejf with £60,000 bill «nd bond debts, beside the simple contract debtsfi There is another unhappy sprig of fashion mixed up in the' bill transactions, also a former lover of Vestris, whose friends will, yve hope, interfeie to save him from disgrace. Out of the wreck, all that is now left for Sir W.

Anstruther's creditors

is £2,100 per annum, scarcely enough to pay the interest on the bills,and out of this he wishes his creditors to allow him £1,000 per m^Him. His personal effects at West raw House, Scotland, may, it is said, prodqee- fj 10,000 or 13,000 more and this is all the duped creditors enn hope for. The following are among theclaimauU at Ihe meeting on ThursdayMr. Woojlatt, £6500 Messrs. lloulditch £1500 Mr. Fean, £3500 Mr. K. Lewis, £*2500 Mr. Charters, £2300 Mr. Backett,£ L600:Mr. Alexander Simple,:-£1015: Mr. Paul, £1000 Mr. L. Law*..£1000 Mr. Melz, £l000 Mcssrs. Braithwait & Jones.£?00 Messrs. Adams & Hooper, £850 Mr. Aland.£2000 Sir R. C. Glynn, £250 Mr. Anderly, £*250 Mr. Lovers, £500 a)l on over due bills. Besides all the Sheriffs officers, Mr. A. Sfamson, Mr. Wilkinson, of PiccadiHy Mr. Gibbon, of Clerkenwell Mr. G&lschide, of the Haymarket, ajso hold nt least £33,000 billsf to which is to be added the list of tradesmen for furniture, wines, horses, tailofs, hoot-makers, etc., which no doubt will not be exaggerated to alhount to a sum of 30,000* more. Thus the total of his present debts, after having made away with about 11,000/ per annijm, there remains for himself to live, and creditors, to t^e amount of near 100,000/ 2400/ a year during his life only, etc. No chicken neither for he is 43years old!

A HEARTLESS Scou*nitKL»—The following facts appear in the New York Gazette of Fri4«y,in the shape of apommu* nkation from a highly respectable mechanic, through whose aid the lady alluded to was restored to her parents in Philadel-phia:-—On the I3thtnsft an imposter,calling himself Robert S. Ellison, was married to a yejy respectable lady of Philadelphia, with the consent of her parents.— Pleading urgent business in New York, he induced her to set out with bim immediately and,after travelling nH night, they arrived in this city and took lodgings in a* respectable boarding house, fie then went out, but shortly after returned, and unknown to any of tbe family, decamped with bis own and his wife's bagsage, leaving her among total strangers, without any money though it appears he had with him between five and six4Rous&n4 dollars in gold. The writer adds:—*Tbe plain an varnished tale of vyrtuoos girl soon fourx£ her friends, who assisted her in retumingte herhnene. The rascal, abdet ihe 4*69med name of Robert Morris, is now on his passage to Liverpool in tbe patkel ship AIjaXyto the Mcerage."

Til£ FAITHLKSS Ht SBAND. There is no suffering more acute thqn that felt by an affectionate and sensitive mind, mourning over the violation of nuptial vows. The suffering is not confined to the unhappy'woman, in the dwelling of Ipoverty, who at tbo midnight hour, teem? oles, as she hears the approaching footstep^ of her drunken husband. You may go into many an elegantly furnished abode, and find the brokenhearted wife and mother surrounded by every external comfort, and yet in solitude, in silence, and tears. There is nothing will compensate for the neglect of those we love. *41 have seen," says a quaint writer, "the accomplished wife, before twenty moons had waned since she changed her name, sitting alone and solitary ns the sparrow on the housetop. Perhaps her health was now so delicate that the nourshing care of her partner was almost necessary to her existence but he was gone away to some political, literary, to ome dissipated club. Perhaps he returns at midnight breathing the fumes of wine, and steaming with the smoak of segars."%

You call htm a brute who breaks his wife's head so he is also a brute who breaks her herrt and how many an unhappy wife sits friendless and alone, during ull the hours of the evening, and even of the night, when her faithless husband is seeking pleasure in ether society. How painful must be her reflections thus finding her fondest anticipations, disappointed, and the fireside,at which. ih#hoped to be blessed witlfsympathy and society, deserted and desolate. That man deserves not the generous affections of a wife, who will not invite her love by the respects and honor of personal attention. It is not a few gaudy trinkets and occasional frenks of fondness that can give your* wife a happy heart, and make her home a happy one. There mutt boreal substantial kindness, t|}e unequfvocal evidence of love for the society and joy of home.

It is not unfreqoently that a wife mourns over the alienated affections of her husband, when she has made no effort herself to strengthen and increase his attachment. She thinks because he once loved her, he ought always to love her, and she neglects those attentions which first enchained his heart. Many a wife is thus the cause of her own neglect and sorrow. That woman deserves not a husband's generous love, who will not greet him with smiles as he returns from the labors of the day who will not try to chain him to his home by the sweet enchantments of a™ cheerful room and a cheerful heart. There is not one man iu a thousand, so unfeeling as to withstand such an inflUcnce^nd, break away from such a home,

Yearly Epistle of the "Friends."—The yearly epistle of this respectable body of Christians has just appeared. Among other things it notices tho passing of an act, whereby the "affirmation" of the people called Quakers is deemed equivalent to the oath of other Christians, and this recognition of civil rights was viewed by the meeting as a matter of gratitude. In that part of the epistle which may be termed their report, it appears that during the past year the ".sufferings1'of their body resident in England amounted to £11,007, pr,in other woids, t!)*M they have been mulcted in that sum for tythes and other ecclesiastical claims. The society are exhorted to intermeddle as.littleas possible wilh political matters, and to manifest their loyalty as heretofore to the King and-his Government, so far as they can do &o with a good conscience. A suitable admonition is also giyrtn to the youth of their congregations, and especially those who are engaged as commercial travellers, cautioning them againstcomformity to the world. Fipally, there in in powerful nppeal to the Friends to extend their charity and bounty more liberally to the sick and poor of eycry sect |n (beir respective neighborhood.
