"The world has its history written on its
strata ; a history so interesting, that the most1
splendid fictions of the human imagination
sink into insignificance when compared with
it, in the same measure as all human productions
must, when compared with the
eternal works of '.he Creator."
Deaf Smith of Texas.?From a young
man recently returned to this city from
Texas, who was for some considerable
time in Smith's company, we learn that
this eccentric individual was originally
from Catskill, in this State?that he went
into that country w.hen it was all a wilderness.
lie -ha-s been there upwards of
twenty years, and from having been n
hunter and a trapper, he made himself
familiar with every nook and corner of
the country, lie is about fitly years of
age, has married a Mexican woman and
has a numerous family. -He neither aspires
to nor will accept of any office, although
he has had many offers, lie has
,proved himself to bo a man of extraordinary
courage in many encounters, and
great rcliunce is placed in his judgment,
llis name is Erasttis S nith, but ho is
known more entcnsively as Deaf Smith,
. frotn his being inflicted with thai infirmity.

Lord Bacon has somewhere remarked j
that reading makes a full man, speaking a

An old Stager.?In the cotton spin- ]
ning mill in. Aberdeen, one very remarkable
person was lately pointed out to a
gentleman, viz: Betty Robinson, aged 03, i
who has been 30 years whoeler "in this ' 1
mill, and has always worked on the Kaing ?i
spot. This year, the floor on which she j .m
has so long stood, was found to have been i
worn through and through by her feet, i <
down to the joist beam. She is at this i
moment in good health. |<
As I?kpedient.?A letter from Mobile j
says " The Banks and Merchants of this
place are about sending an agent to Li- .
verpool to receive a ml sell all Cottons
shipped from this port, and the Banks j
have agreed to discountbills drawn on this (
agent or agents, predicted on shipments (
of Cotton; the Cotton to be valued, and
three fourths of the value will be discoun

Tremendous IIaii, Storm.?The Macon
Telegraph of Tuesday last says:?1
44YVe understand that a severe hail storm I
passed th ough Houston county, 8 miles I

the hail was knee deep at that time in the
hedges of the fences, and thai Mr. Brown
walked over his field duectly after and
affirms that the hail must have been \ Z inches
deep all over his plantation. Other
industrious and persevering citizens ol
Houston, we doubt not, have suil'ercd seriously.'*
Town Making?An Anecdote.?Those
who have been 10 the "far west," where
towns are made up in a night, (on paper)
duiu i'i mi nwur, ami ouiit up 111 a week, have
seen the arts ot speculators, make a map of
the surr ninding country, laying down liailroads
and Canals, all centering in the town;
which is thus demonstrated to be the tuture
emporium of the West.'
The following anecdote takes oft* this
practice of the town selling to a T. We
copy it from a Rochester, New York pa- j
per.
A fellow who had observed all the sellers
of land, and seen all the ranai9, Kail-roads,
which had been built on paper, brought (
anohleeow to one .of the Laqd Office*, and

Amusing Anecdote.?Two negroes employed
by a farmer, were sent to the barn
to work, where they found a large steel trap
which had been set 6ome time previous for
rats Not knowing the use of the trap, they
began to examine it. "What he for, Cuff ?"
asked Sambo. "Don't know, only bab got

It is amusing to observe the infinite variety

body was regularly embalmed, and, the \
papyrus being placed upon bis breast, was i
deposited in a red granite rase and laid in i
a tomb prepared for the purpose. Some (
year-s after a Frenchman bought the relic ]
rogish- Arabs and conv-eyed it to Paris, ,
delight with having in his possession what <
he supposed could be 'nothing less than a i
Pharoah. A party of learned persons \i
having been invited to attend the ceremo- j
ny of unrolling, alter some hundred of J
yards of fine linen had been taken away, i
the papyrus was discovered, which in j
plain English declared the deceased to 1

BiiAvtNc.?It is said that ih consequence
of the unsual. length of the faces of the

The Man of Integrity is one who J
makes it his constant rule, to follow the j
road of duty, according as the word of t
God, and the voice of his conscience, r
point it out to him. He is not guided
merely, by affections, which may some- J
times give the color Qf virtue,to a loose f
and unstable character. The upright man j,
is guided hv a fixed principle of mind, .

which determines nrm to esteem nothing t
but what is honorable, and to abhor whatever
is base or unworthy, in moral conduct.
Hence we find him ever the same
at all times ; the trusty friend, the affectionate-relation,
the conscientious man of
business, the pious worshipper, the publicspirited
citizen. He assumes no borrowed
appearance. He seeks 110 mask to
cover him, for he acts no studied part ;
but he is indeed wli it be appears to l>e?
full of truth, candor and humanity. In
all his pursuits, be knows no path but the
fair and direct one ; and would much rather
fail of success, than attain it by reproachful
means. He never shows us a
smiling countenance while he meditates
evil against us in his heart, lie never,
praises us among our friends, and then
joins in traducing us among our enemies.]
We shall never find one part of his character
at variance with another. In his
manners he is simple and unaffected ; in
all his proceedings, open and consistent.
I envy no quality of the mind or intellect
in others ; not genius,' power, wit, or
fancy : but if I could choose what would
he most delightful and I believe most useful

?While travelling through the state of j

lie.pipes, and the dense clouds of black
nnoke, which came from them, and also
i.? n..': ?

his ohl negro. As (lie Locomotive apiroached

Tho eventful crisis at urhich affairs have
arrived,- causes' every branch of commerce
to be considerably"affi&cted. . The ^repeated
stoppages of large and respectable firms
occasion considerable alarm, and as may *
naturally be supposed, prevent mercantile.-'
men entering into engagements, or'intresting
capital in any article of commerce.-? ' We
have therefore had a considerable
dearth jtif business in all our wholesale
departments, both consumers. an<T speculators
appear afraid to come info the mar.
kei'at present, notwithstanding the low
prices to which' almost all articles have
declined, being in expectation that lower
rates will yet be established. Two of the .
largest and most respectable houses, in
the East India trade have suspended spcpnyrtierit'durj
g the'past week, Which has
added much to the glOom that previously .
pervaded every department. *
* The imports particularly of East India
pilkducc have been.considerable since our

The'hioney market has been considerably
tranquilizer! by the arrival of 500,0001.
of Unitpfl States Bank and other American
bonds. This paper is a novelty in
our market, has excited much attention, .
and has been the subject of much conversation.
The bonds are drawn at twelve
months (late, and are payable at London,
Amsterdam and Par if. The United States
Bank Bunds bear no interest?those of
other American banks bear interest at 6
per cent. These bunds have secured con?:.i

niKuiumc .'investment 01 capuai in mem :
those of the United States Hank, which it
must be remembered bear no interest,
have been done, at 94 to 94 1-2'for the
l()()l. bond?-those of the hank's bearing
interest at (> per cent, have been done at
98. There have been conflicting opinions
in circulation as to the ul'.iu ate effect of
tlio introduction of such paper here; but
whatever difference of sentiment may obtain
on litis point, there-can be but one as
to the rfleet already produced by that in-.'
jtfoduclio'h. These bonds ha\'c tranquilizer!
the minds ?tf numbers, rftid have bait-*
isbed a considerable portion of that increased,
perplexity and alarm which previously
filled the money market'. JS'or is.
this surprising, when it is considered that
they will he if necessary to the extent of
10,000,000 of dollars. Nobody appears to
have the slightest, doubt of the solidity of
ilie United States llank ; indeed the commercial
and monetary character of the U.
States is one of solidity, as such it is generally
esteemed ; and in fact, this is the
principal feature of the United States in
every thing. That country is one of vasfr
capabilities and great promise, and every
year it is rapidly progressing in every thing
that must ultimately make it a great natidn.
It is the most formidable rival with
which the country has (o contend, and it
will require a constant and vigorous exercrcise
of all the immense resources and
.experience which the countrv 'possesses, to
proven! the "f Inilcd Slates from occupying
our position iti scale of'nations; We will
not speculate now upon the effects likely to
he produced in our monetary and mercantile
markets by these bank bonds, but we
will instance 'them as they are thrown out
in the working "of things. '
Since tine arrival of these bonds at Liverpool
a marked improvement has taken
place in matters there?the accounts are
better from the.north although there have
been some heavy'failures?and cotton has
advanced in the Liverpool market in the
fare of very large imports. The advices
also from the .manufacturing Districts '
come'bcttcr, and the face of things has
evinced a change for the belter. There
has been ru>'perceptible difference in the
amount of-money in circulation here, and.
the discount houses have done noihibg
under 4 3-4 to 5 per cent..
FROM LIVERPOOL.?The racket
ship England, Capt White* from Liver- .
pool, has put us in possession of London
papers to the morning of the 2d and Liverpool
to the 3d of May. The accounts
from London are only a few hours later
than our -previous advices, and furnish
nothing of interest. Th? commercial and

the proper heads. . .
In the II ouse of Lords, on the 1st May
Lord John Itussel and other members of
the lower house appeared at the bar, and
on the part of the House of Commons
requested a conference with their loFdship6
upon matters of high Importance relating
to the government of the provinces of
Lower Canada. '
On the motion of the Earl of Shaftsbury,
their lordships agreed to the cone
ieience, tircrted it to be.held in the com- *
mittee r lum, No. 5, and appointed as
managers on their own part; the Duke of
Richmond, the Earl of Shaftsbury, the
Earl of Albemarle, the Earl of Rochester,
the Bishop of E!y, Lord Glenelg* and
Stafford.
The managers went to the conference;
