"Now," says I, "how uo you make that square with your present notions." "Why the fact is." says he, "it is pretty tuff work to make the notions of one lime fit the notions ofanothcr time but I do say it never will do to have anothersuch a Bank, for it is pretty nigh all owned by foreign aristocrats, and that never will do in a democratic country—it is downright awful and Mr. Bucchanan and Mr. Benton and all the good democrats tn Congreas, »ay it will be the ruin of the country."

Oar advices from Alexandria nre to the34tlli ult.and we nre in possession of journals and advices, from Malta. to the S8ih.

The intelligence from China is as gratifying as it is important, and it is especially satisfactory because it bears with it this grt-at zest—it was unexpected: so little importance ban been attached to the progress announced hy the last overland mail to have been made by the Chinese expedition. It apoears, however, that the Chinese quest ion is thoroughly settled—that the occupation of Chnsnn. and the proceedings of Admiral Elliot have brought the Emperor of Chins to his senses, snd that he hasnffered tosend plenipotentiaries to Canton or Ningpo. for the arrangement of all matters in difference with Great Britain.

Shortly after the capture of Chusan, Admiral Elliot, in proceeding to the Pecho river, was met hv a mandarin of the third rank of the Chtnese empire, though some accounts sav hv the Emperor himself, while others affirm that Admiral Elliot had arrived at Pekin.and had an audience of the Emperor.

Not only do our passions and prejudices induce us to look upon objects in '.he light most favorable to our wishes, but thev also deceive us in showing

objects where thev do not exist. A storv is told of a curateaphorism.Theyhad heard it, and saidthatthemoon was inhabited and telescope in hand, were anxiously reconnoitring its inhabitants. "If I do not deceive myself, said the lady, "I preceive two figures they approach each other they are without douht two lovers, happy in each other's affection." "Poh! Madame, cried the curate, those two shadows that you imagine to he lovera, are two steeples of cathedrals." This story is our history. We see only those things we are desirous of seeing on the earth, as in the moon, different passions show us either lovers or cathedral Bteeples. Delusion is a necessary effect ot our prejudices, nnd its force is in proportion to :he blindesss into which they plunge us.

HE undersigned has leased, for a umber of years, the well-known and old establishedTavern Stand, in town of Terre-Haute, formerly known as the

Eagle and Lion," kept by Capt. JAMES WASSON, and is now prepared for the reception of company During the late non-occupancy of the house, it has undergone a very extenaive and thorough repair, and it now offers many advantages not heretofore possessed by it at any former period. Its contiguity to thesteam boat landing, and its central position in regard to the busies of the town, muatalwaya make it a disirabllocatton to those in any way connected with that buainess. Attached to it are large and extensive stables, which it is my determination to place under the control of careful and attentive persons, in whose hands the horses of travellers and others will be faithfully attended to. In all the departments of the establishment, I design to see that order and regularity is preserved, added to faithful and prompt attention to the gtieota of the House. With these assurances. I offer the IS ation al Hotel to the patronage of the public.
