Extract of a letter from an Old j Maid to the editor of the Ben-; nintrton Gazette, dated the 1st instant. I belong to that respectable sis terhood vulgarly denominated ; u

years, exercised the professions of a mantua maker and tayloress, i have had as good an opportunity to observe the habits of people round their family firesides as any j body could have, and I do assure you on the veracity of a spinster. that ol all the unhappy marriages, that T have witnessed, at least 9 out of 10 of them, are caused by bad husbands, men who arc un worthy of the sacred title.

Extract from the Private Life aid Conversations tf the Em peror rsapolcon at . Ih lcna. Speaking on the subject of crimes, the Emperor remarked to Las Casus. My code alone, from its simplicity, has been more ben eiicial to France than the whole mass of laws which preceded it. My schools and my system of nuai nisuur.uon are preparing ncnerations et unknown. Thus, during my reign, crimes were rapidly diminishing; while, on the contrary, with our neighbors in England, thev have been increa sing to a frightful degree. This alone is sufficient to enable any onetofoun a decisive judgment of the respective governments. - Look at the United States. where, without any apparent foice ! or etiort, every thing noes on pi perously; every one is happy ami contented; and this is because tiie public wUhes and interests ...... i.. , ait, in iaut, ine ruling power Place the same government at vanance with the will and interests ol its inhabitants, and you would soon see what disturbance, trouble, and confusion, and, above all, what an increase of crimes would ensue. M When I acquired the supreme direction of affairs, it was w ished that 1 might become a Washington. Words Cost nnthinrr mwl no doubt those who were 5 ...... UHU so reato cxpios the wish, did so without any knowledge nf timnc places, persons, or things. Had I . n - been in America, I would willincr ly have been a Washington and I snould have had little merit in so being, lor I do not see how I could reasonably have acted otheiwise. Jjut, had Washington been in France, exposed to

cd Washington. It was only in a Congress of Kins?, in the midst

of Kings yielding or subdued, that I could become so. There, eration, disinterestedness, and wisdow. I could not reasonably attain to this but by means of the universal dictatorship. To this I aspired; can that be thought a t It T) . 1 crime." Uan it De neiicvea, that, to resign this authoiitv, would have been beyond the powers of human nature? Sylla, glutted with crimes, dared to abdicate, pursued by human execration ! hat motive could have checked me, who would have been followed only bv blessings ? But it remained for me to conquer at Moscow. How many will hereafter regret my disasters and tny fall ! But to require prematurely of me that sacrifice, for which the time had not arrived, was a vulgar absurdity; that was not my way. 1 repeat, it remained for me to conquer at Moscow !" He that does not give his son a trade or a profession, learns him to be a knav e, and perhaps a thief. This, moic especially holds good as resppcts the children of the poor. Poor children that are brought up neither to a trade, nor any regular occupation at e laid ti.der a sort of necessity to become rogues for a livelihood. COLUMBIA RIVER.

Coa:-t of America May 27th 1822 "It was my intention to have availed myself of the land conveyance across the continent in the transmission of this letter, but the courier had departed, and this with other letters must wait mv arrival in Canton. The Columbia River is the most unpleasant navigation I ever experienced. We ueie imploded seven days in warping our ship among shoals and sands, in opposition to winds, tides, hail and rain. The establishment here is called Fort George, and belongs to the English, but a number of Ameiiean merchants belonging to the North West Association reside here, Fort Geo'ge contains an Agent, styled Governorand two clerks, a few tradesmen and about a bundled laborers principally Canadians, who traffic with the natives for skins, with the produce which we bring here. The skins we carry to Canton. The appearance of the Indians here does not materially differ from what you have seen. The overland conveyance to which I alluded, is over the Stony Mountains, through the R rim v '.Lake into LakeSupcrior, and thence to Montreal." C. JJnccy & G. II. C Sullivan.
