only by some one in the company
crying ou% in a stentorian voice. ' Drink
ever drink and smoke." When thev have
taken as much beer as they desire, they
separate to reti*rn to their lodgings, or to
go in quest of some mischief. That quarrels
and fights of all sorts should take place,
is only what might be expected. And yet
the greater number may generally be said
to be studious, and many profoundly so.'
There is very little religious influence
exerted by the professors in these universities
By far the greater part are supposed
to caro very little for religion?Many of
them class Christianity with those religious
systems wh.ch time has abolished. 4 In
one of the most distinguished universities in
all Germany, out of some sixty prolessors,
regular and irregular, not mere than fifeen
or twenty are at all in the habit of going to
any church whatever. Very few even of
the theological professors ever pray with
their classes. There are, however, some
such men as Proof. Tholuck, who take the
deepest interest in promoting real piety
among tiieir pupils. O si sic omnes ! In
this most important respect our AmerL
can colleges, theological schools, and
academies, have infinitely the advantage
over the German univerities and gymnasia."
Most of the universities have larger libraries
than any in the United States. Some
have libraries of 100,000 volumes. Tnose
of Munich and Berlin contain between 3

Honest Grant.?The immediate ancestor
of Lord Gl?ne!g was among his commercial
connexions known by t.ie familiar
honor ible cognomen of "Honest Charles
Grant," and which he acquired by the following
circumstances:?
At an early pariud of his career as a
merchant, the tide of wealth, which had
gradually flowed in upon him, suddenly
ebbed, and left him stranded, having lost
all but reputation, which remained unim
peached and unsullied When his atTatrs
were wound up, such was the confidence
which his integrity, thus tested, had produced,
that he again commenced business,
and was eminently successful. The first
use he made of his newly-acquired wealth
was to pay the whole of his former creditors
in full, with interest 0:1 their respective
debts, although ih *y had legally 11 > claim
on him, having accepted the composition,
and given him a full discharge. Tnis was
not all. lie was guardian to the ch.Uren
of an eminent civilian, and iho property of
this family had boon swallowed up in the
general wreck. He not only repaid this
sum with (uteres*, but at a subsequent pe.
riod he considered that, as a faithful guardun,
he was bound to improve his trust by
all possible means, and that on this principle
the family entitled to compound interest
lor the whole lime, which, :u the then very
high rate of interest in India, amounted to
a very considerable sum. He computed
the amount and actually paid the whole additional
sum to the family, and this at a time
when his own family was by no means fully
provided for, and when in uu ordinary
inind, their claims would have successfully

Printing For the B/n I.?A sight of the
most imeres ing description that can well
be imagined, was exhibited in the 11 gii
Church, Glasgow, on Sunday. Ail the
young inmates, male and female, of ta*
Blind Asylum, appeared together at t. e
service?for the first time in this* part of the
country--with their own newly-printed
raiseJ letter Psalm Books. Wnen the
Psalm was given out, they se -mod generally
to find the place wiih us much fucdity us
their next neighbours who were blesse i with
O ,
vision ; and it was most gratifying to ob.
serve that they could foliow the line with
perfect precision.
Tae ancient Greek and Roman table.
?Tne difference between the diet of .he an.
cients and that of as moderns, is very striking.
The ancient Greeks an J Romans
used no alcoholic liquor, it being unknown
to them ; nor coffee, nor tea, nor chocolate,
noi sugar, nor even butter ; for Galen
informs us he haJ seen bu ter but once in
fiis life. They were ignorant of the greater
number of our trophica: spices, as clove,
nutmng, mace, ginger, Jamaica pepper,
cayane, pimento. Tiiey used neither buck1
_ I? f t ; j.
wneai nor r rcucn ouans, iur spuiuiu, nor
sago, tap oca, sulep. urtow root, nor potato
or its varieties ; nor even the common, but
a sort of marsh grown bean ; nor many ot
our fruits, as the tamarind, orange, nor
American maize. On the other baud, t ey
ate substances which we now neglect?the
mallow, the herb ox tongue, the sweet
acorn, the lupin. Tney used greatly rtd_
ish, lettuce sorrel. They liked the llesh of
wild ases, of little dogs, of the dormouse,
of the fox, of the bear. They eat the fl^'sh
of paroquets, and other rare birds, and lizards.
They were fond of a great many
fish, and shell fish, which we now hold in
no esteem. They employed as seasonings
rue and assafcetida,?Dr. Dick's Diet, and
Regimen.
Great expectations aru entertained, in
Mississippi, of bunding up a city en the
Gulf ol Mexico, as t!ic commercial emporium
of the Southwest, particularly of that
State. The Free Trader, of Natchez, as.
sures us that " neither New Orleans, Mobile,
Pensacola nor Charleston, can hold
competition with the vast natural advantagesof
Mississippi city as a seaport of the
first magnitude and having given it this
lofty cnaracter, very naturally adds, that
;t will be always "a matter of surprise" that
it was not sooner appropriated. It is situated
on the main land near Bolixi Bay, and,
as described, was formed by Nature to be
positively the greatest port in the world.
So say the Mississippians.
t Captain Chase, of the Engineer Crops,
whose untiring and liberal enterprises in
behalf of Pensacola sro ?o we!' Known, has,
however, a word to say \et in behalf of that
port as the greatest seaport on the Gulf. A
long communication, published by him in rite
[ Pensaco'u Gazette, reiterates the grounds
i of his confidence in the future supremacy
: of Pensucola.?Mobile Commercial Regis\itr.
J The Book making Business.?The fol
j lowing is an extract from a lecture on
' printing, delivered some time since before
the Portsmouth Lyceum, and afterward
published. After speaking of the establishment
of the Harpers, at New.York, tha
author says, " At Braitleboro', in our sister
state, Vermont, is one which is deserving
i of notice. The printing establishment there
: keeps in operation [several] power presses.
Connected with it is a pap r null aj
' one end, and a book bindery at the oth<T,

mortal mini. So rapid is the process that
| rags have been received at that mill in the
; morning. manufactured into paper, and
printed before night. The * Comprchensive
Commentary" is now printing at that
i establishment. When it it is complied, it
will have consumed fifteen thousand reams
of paper. Think not that the woolen or
i the cctton manufactures are tiie only ones
[which benefit the agriculturalist.] for this
i one work will use ttie amount ofa thousand
j bales of cotton in paper?and will have re.
; quired the skims of sixty thousand sheep
I lor its binding !
We understand that during the five years
I ending with the present, there will have
been published at this establishment about
! one hundred and sixty thousand imperial oc:
tavo volumes, averaging more than eight
| hundred pages each ? These volumes
I contain each more matter than ten of the
'average of those issued by the Harpers.

" The result of Mr. Clay's opposition to

subject of general congratulation. The c
bill may be ' now considered ns defeated. ,
j Mr. Clay, nlone, nnd unaided bv a single r
: Senator, lias fought this battle against a r
: host of antagonists, and has gained a vie- j t
I tory as unexpected as it is brilliant and im- j j
I portant in its results. The Administration j (
i have attempted to make this measure a J |
' party measure, and force it through as | j
J such. It is not a measure for the promo- | (
| tion of the true interests of the new States, j
j but for the advancement of the interests of;

Governor Seward's Message is n sensible ;1

about politics, and confines his suggestions ,(
' to matters of State policy.
He treats the subject of internal inu I
1 j provement with liberal and enlarged views. '
I J and urges the Legislature 10 prompt action '
t in developing the resources of the State. I
He recommends the Legislature to call
i upon the General Government for the 1
: fourth instalment of the surplus revenue,
and to insist that the money already depos- ^
j ited with the States be d.vesttd of its char- 1
f acter as a loan.

! The general banking law is highly ap- j c
proveif. Under it thirty.two associations j

Execution.?On Friday last Cardinal |
tnd Duquettee, two of the prisoners con- \

lotico of the execution in the Montreal
IVanscript, we judge that the extreme sen
ence of the law will be visited upon com- '
nrutively few of the prisoners. The case
)f these two men is aggravated by the fact !
hat they were deeply concerned in th? j
irst rebellion, and wero among those par- j

THE State Temperance Society of South tJ
Carolina, at the late Anniversary Meet,
ing, in Columbia, resolved to establish if practicable,
a Weekly Newspaper, devoted to
the cause of Temperance. The Executive i .
Committee, whose duty it is to carry this 1
resolution into effect, beg leave to address the 1
several Societies and individuals, in the State ! I
engaged in this good cause, upon this interes-1 a
ting snbject. >> j _
The mci easing prevalence and ruinous b
effects of the use of intoxicating liquors, call
loudly for some decisive measures to rouec
public a'tcr.'ion to this direful evil, *?.r.d uuito
lecounsilg and efforts ol the bcnevplei# and
atriotic, in arresting its progre*4. means
eem more wisely adapted to accotnplls h
heir purpose, than such a dissemminatiou of
icts and statements upon the subject as
/ould be effected by such a publication. T.ie
ibours, experience and investigation of the
riends of Temperance in the NdrthetofStatee,
lave accumulated treasures of knowledge and
argumeuts in ths cause. But these valua
le materials are excluded from our community.
by their being mingled with speculations
lostile in our domestic institutions. The
vay therefore, in which the interesting details
ind powerful rea-ontngs, contained in the
Temperance publications of the north, can be
riven to the public here, is through the columns
if the proposed paper. It is thus manifest
hat the best interests of our State, and the
irogrcssof the Temperance Reformation so
itally important to pubiic safety and happiness
^ill be mast effectually promoted by a general
ircUi^tion of the Temperance Advocate.
The fofo wing plan will regulate the publicaion.
It will contain?
I Origi.Jtl communications, and domestic
itelligence restive to thd general subject of
ntemperance.
II. Copious extracts from Books, Pamphlets
nd Newspapers, published hi other States to
iroinoto the Temperance cause.
III. A weekly summary of general and donestic
news, prices current, &c.
As the friends of Temperance, the expected
atrons of this Pap*r, beiong to different polit-.al
parties and religious denominations, all
hscussions wof a controversial or sectarian
haracter, both a a to politics and religion, will
e scrupulously exclud *d.
The general design of the publication is to
irnish every family in the State, desirous of
btaining it, with full imforrnarion and authenc
documents as to direful evle of In'etnperuce,
and the necessity of Reformation.
As the commencement of such a Publ.ica-*
an only be warranted by a large subscription
strong appeal is made to th1 officers of Tenarance
Societies, and the fneods of the cause

Practical and useful knowledge

should be hailed with universal satisfaction,
nd it is a cheering reflection that the doors

s to be debared. The success that has
ttended the dissemmination of the Penny
lagazine, has induced the proprietors to issue
lis prospectus for the publication of the
imerican Journal of Scientific and Useful
knowledge, and it is hoped that its merit will
e such as to entitle it to a liberal patronage,
'ithout clashing with the interests of others,
