FRIENDSHIP.
bX T. B. DORWIO.
In boyhood'* artless days our ftieuda are many.
We (hare each other'H thought* a* freely then
As com mo u games, and, ever, joyous dreamt*
Picture the future, brighter still awl brighter;
Ourselves alone, of all the world, unchanged,
Or grown more dear in friendship!
Tear* pass on?
And boyhood's laughing face wears sober manhood.
What talc hath Time to tell f
We hard forgotten t
The comrades loved before. Each fur himself
Perchance hath sought what *11 around are seeking,
Wealth, fame; and this pursuit absorbs him quite.
Yet other years pass on. Bad, tottering Ago?
Yea, sad, though wealth and fame are his at last?
Remembers him, still vaguely, onoe ho had
Fond, bright-eyed friends, who made him happy-?happy 1
Would he were so again! Where are they now ?
lie learns the history of some on tombstones;
Of others by report; some dead?all gone,
To meet no more on earth. And pale and tearful,
But with a smile anon athwart his features,
lie thinks of that near home, where Friendship lives,
And all tlui loved and lost shall bo restored!

ARRIVAL OP THE STEAMER BALTIC.
Seven day* later from Europe.
England ? France? German Affairs?India?
China ? The Markets ? Advance in Cotton ?r
Firmness in Breadstuff's??Provisions Looking
up, t$"C.
The Baltimore Sun of this morning, with
characteristic promptness, tarnished to its read
ers the prominent items of news brought by the
steamer Baltic, which arrived at New York at
seven o'clock last evening.
England.?The Papal bill has been so modi
fied as to be acknowledged by no party; yet it
still occupies the time of the House of Com
mons.
France.?The correspondence of the London
Times says it is impossible to deny that a reac
tionary movement is evident among certain
legitimist circles in the Faubourg St. Germain,
to accept a prolongation of the President's
powers, ' The Steele, in reference to the circu
lation of rumors that France Would assume a
warlike position on the German question, says:
" So long as a good understanding exists with
England, thertTcan be no war on any such ac
count"
A council of the ministers was held at Elysee.
The news from Berlin, Dresden, and Vienna was
the principal subject of discussion. The council
decided that instructions should be given to the
French minister at Vienna, Informing him of the
attitude France will take should a contest arise'
between the great German powers. The views
of the King of Prussia met with sympathy in
the council. The Moniteur states that the Pre
sident had received a communication from the
Emperor of Prussia, notifying him of the mar
riage of his niece with the Prince, George of
Mecklenburg.
Germany.?Fresh complications have arisen
in Germany. Prussia and Austria no longer act
in concert, and the secondary States coincide
with neither one nor the other.
Prussia supports the pretensions of the small
States, which Austria opposes.
The conference at Dresden had not been re
sumed, though the day of sitting was past. At
their former meeting Mons. De Montneufle and
Dc Schwomberg, the delegates from the two sov
ereigns, fixed upon a plan of arranging the for
mation of the Central Government, leaving
nothing wanting but the ratification by the sov
ereigns. On Montneufle's. return to Berlin he
found his Dresden adversaries had not been in
active at Berlin with the King, and the aspect
of nff'airs was entirely changed. The King's
news were entiroly different from what they
were when he left him. Frederick William in
dulges in visions of ambition, and regards this
ns a favorable time for a rupture with Austria,
broken as she is in power, and her armies di
minished. The determination of the second
Dresden conference sapported the views of Sax
ony, Wcrtemburg, Bavaria, and Hanover, while
the proceedings of the conference in relation to
the German Power* presents a powerful obsta
cle to the ascendency of Austria. This seemed
to favor the point of establishing a ceatfcxlora
tion which may revive the hopes of the national
party, which threatens to increase the rapture
between the cabinets of Vienna and Berlin.
It is believed that Prince Swancnbur^ has
sent an official reply to the King of Wertem
burg, stating that this sovereign prince, instead
of being opposed to his views, coincides with
them, but docs not think the time has come to
carry out the project of a German confederacy.
India.?The overland mail from Hindo&tan.
and the Indian mail, arrived at Sue* on 4th of
March, with 70 passengers. The Bombay jour
nals announce the surrender of Fort Dahrowr,
in Dislam's dominions, on the 4th of February.
A portion of the Prince's territory has been
made over to the East India Company, as an
equivalent for a debt of 00,000 pounds due the
Punjaub.
Four hundred and fifty miles of canals nre
under construction.
The sum of 10,000 pounds sterling has been
stolen from the Oriental bank.
Commercial affairs have improved in Bombay.
The import market is brisk. No incrensa in
prices. The high price of cotton is produced
by holdcre l>eing indisposed to sell. No ohange
in other aaticlos.
Money market improved.
Freights from Bombay to I^rerpool and Lon
don ?2 ils. to ?2 os., and upward tendency.
Exthaage on London, six months' sight,

The commercial prospects in Calcutta and
India gonerally are better.
China.?The death of Commissioner Linn is
confirmed. '
Fears are entertained of another insurrection
in the disturbed Chinese provinces. The health
of the troops at Hong Kong has been much im
proved. An extensive band of smugglers has
been discovered there.
A new race of Jews has been discovered 450
miles from Pekin by a London missionary.
THK MARKETS.
LiVEnrom., March 21.?We have to report a
better feeling in our cotton market since the

FIDGETY PEOPLE.
w^!ier0.i.ar? People whom one occasionally
mocts.with m tiie world, who are in a state of
perpetual fidget and puckcr. Every tiling goes
wrong with them. They aro always in trouble.
Now, it us the weather, which is too hot; or, at
another time, too cold. The dust blows into
their eyes, or there is "that horrid rain," or
that broiling sun," or "that Scotch mist."
They are as ill to please about the weather as a
laraer; it is never to thoir liking, and never
will bo. Tlioy "never s??h a BUJZ"
not a day s tine weather;" and they go back
to antiquity for comfort?" it was not so in our
youngor days."
Fidgety people are rarely well. They have
generally^ "a headache," or "spasms," or
nen es, or something of that sort; they can
blc i? thelr Wa^? trou
ble. Most of their friends nxo ill; this one has
the gout " ?o bad;" another has ihe rheumaE
w threatened with consumption ?
V " a family of their acquaint
wh?8e chll,(lren have not got measles, hoop
ng-cough. scarlet fever, or some other of the
thousand ills which infantine flesh is heir to.
hey are curiously solioitous about the health
o every body; this one is exhorted "not to
dunk too much cold water," another "not to
the draught," a third is advised to "wear
flannels ; and they have great doctors at their
fingers ends whom they can quote in their
support. They have read Buehi and CnW
J?* their fidgets npon their descrip
tions of diseases of all sorts. They offer to
furnish recipes for pills, draughts, and lini
ments ; and if you would believe them, your
life depends on taking their advice forthwith
To sit at meals with such people is enough
to give one the dyspepsia. The chimney has
been smoking, and the soot has got into the
soup; the fish is overdone, and the mutton is
underdone; the potatoes have had tho disease,
tho sauce is not of the right sort, the jelly is
candied the pastry is fusty, the grapes are
sour. Every thing is wrong. The cook must
be disposed of; Betty stands talking too long
at the back gate. The poultry-woman muBt be '
changed, the potato-man discarded. There will
be a clean sweep. But things are never other
wise. The fidgety person remains unchanged,
and goes fidgeting along to the end of the chap
ter ; changing .en-ants, and spoiling them by
unnecessary complainings and contradictions,
until they becomc quite rcckless of over eivintr
satisfaction. ? 6 B
The fidgety person has been rending the
newspaper, and is in a ferment about " that
Or'Inmpi I is treated to its details.
Or somebody s house has been broken into and
a constant ^,Igrt is kept up for a timo about
thieves If a cat's-whisper is heard in the
night, 'there ia a thief in the house;" if an um
brella is missing, "a thief has been in the lob
by ! if a towel cannot be found, " a thief must

^itl. TI,c.?,utcr doors are furnished
with latches, new bolts and bars arc provided
for outhouses, bells are bnng behind tho shut
ters and all other possible expedients are de-I
vised to keep out the imaginary "thief."
"Oh, there is a smell of fire:" Forthwith '
the house is traversed, down-stairs and up
stairs, and a voice at length comes from the
kite lien, " It a only Bobby boon burning a
stick. \ ou are told forthwith of a thousand
accidents, deaths, and burnings, that have come
from burning sticks! Bobby is petrified and
horror-stricken, and is haunted by the terror
of conflagrations. If Bobby gets a penny from
a visiter, lie is counseled "not to buy gunpow
der with it, though he has a secret longing for
crackers. Maids arc cautioned to " be careful
about the clothes-horse," and their cars are
often startled with a cry from nbovo-stairs of
'jetty, there is surely something singeing !"
The fidgety person "cannot bear'' the wind
whistling through the key-hole, nor the smell
of washing, nor the sweep's cry of " svee-eep
svee-ecp," nor the beating of carpets, nor thick
ink nor a mewing cat, nor new boots, nor a
cold m the head, nor callers for rates and sub
scriptions. All theae little things are magnified
into miseries, and if you like to listen, you may
. sit for hours and hear the fidgety person wax
, eloquent about them, drawing a melancholy
pleasure from the recital.
The fidgety person sits up<5h thorns, and loves
to perch his or her auditor on the same raw ma
I tenal. Not only so, but you are dragged over
thorns, until you feel thoroughly unskinned.
i \0,,r ear.8 are bored, and your teeth are set on
I edge. \our head aches, and your withers are
! wrung. Vou are made to shake hands with
misery, and almost long for some real sorrow as
' a relief.
The fidgety person makes a point of getting
I out of humor upon any occasion, whether about
, private or public affairs. If subjects for misery
j do not offer within doors, they abound without.
Soi ethingthat has been done in the next street
? excites their ire, or something done a thousand
i 0r evcn 80mething that was done a

Aottung to tho fi?Vy- They overleap all ob
atacles in getting at their subject They must
be in hot water. If one question is set at rest,
they start another ; and they wear themselves
to the boue in settling the affairs of every body,
which are never settled ; they
" Ar? lmuW (lp?per?Ui by a too quick Mnao
Of constant Infelicity." l
Their feverish existence refuses rest, and they
fret themselves to death about matters with
which they have often no earthly concern. They
uro spendthrifts in sympathy, which in them
has degenerated into an exquisite tendency to
pain. They are launched on a sea of trouble,
the shores of whioh are perpetually extending.
They are Belf-stretohed on a rack, the wheels of
which nre ever going round.
The fundamental maxim of the-fidgety is? -
whatever is, is wrong. They will not allow
themselves to be happy, nor any body else.
They tflways assume themselves to be the mott
aggrieved persons extant- Their grumbling is
incessant, and they operate as a social poisou
wherever they go. Their vanity and self-con
oeit are usually accompanied by selfishness in
a very aggravated form, which only seems to
make their fidgets the more intolerable. You
will generally observe that they are idle per
sons ; indeed, as a general rule, it may be said,
that the fidgety class want healthy occupations.
In nine cases out of ten, employment in some
active pursuit, in which they could not have
time to think about themselves, would operate
as a cure.
But, we must make an allowance. Fidgets
are often caused by the state of the stomach,
and a fit of bad temper may not unfrequently
be traced to an attack of indigestion. One of
the most fidgety members of the House of Com
mons is a martyr to dyspepsia, and it is under
stood that some of his most petulant and bitter
diatribes have been uttered while laboring un
der more than usually severe attacks of this
disease. lie has " pitched into" some " hono
rable gentleman" when he Bhould have taken
blue pilL And so it is with many a man, in
domestic and social life, whom we blame for
his snappish and disagreeable temper, but whose
stomach is the moral no less than the physical
barometer of most men ; and we can very often
judge of tempers, conditions, and sympathies,
pretty accurately, according to its state. Let
us, therefore, be charitable to the fidgety, whose
stomachs, rather than their hearts, may be at
fault; and let us counsel them to mend them,
by healthy and temperate modes of living, and
by plenty of wholesome occupation and exer
cise.
HAVANA.
The New York Sun contains the following;
but tfee Sun is perhaps excitable on the Havana
question, and its xeal should be remembered
when we peruse its comments: #
'?Henry Clat at Havana.?General Concha
has made a great deal to do about Mr. Clay
since his arrival at Havana. But it is easy to
see through the Spaniard's motive for his atten
tion. In the course of the very first interview
General Concha took the opportunity to assure
Mr. Clay that Spain had always been the friend
of the United States, and was very desirous that
the United States should always be friendly to
Spain. Concha also made inquiries of Mr. Clay
if he knew whether it was true that another
expedition was about to make a descent upon
the Island, ns was rumored. At the same time
he pointed significantly to the fortifications of
the harbor, and remarked that the Island was
well prepared for defence. Mr. Clay strove to
remove his fears by assuring him that,' to far at
he knew, they were groundless.
'?The N. 0. Bee says that one of the Western
Congressmen, present at the interview, smiled
rather contemptuously when the purport of
Concha's remarks was interpreted to him, and
observed audibly enough, that strong as Cuba
wot, any State in the Union, except Delaware,
and perhaps Rhode Island, could despatch force
enough to take her. The indiscreet comment,
however, escaped the ears of the translator, and
wns therefore not repeated to the Captain Gen
eral, otherwise the interview might have been
brought to an abrupt termination. Poor Concha,
the fears of on expedition haunt him like
spcctres. If he feels the Island so well pro
tected, and so secure, why is he so nnxious to
get assurances that the 44 filibusters" won't ap
pear again ? We doubt if his civilities and
fawnings will protect him. Spain's treatment
of Cuba cannot pass unpunished. The day of
reckoning draws near."
Stor* or a Lover.?Rather & rich story has
been circulating at Paris respecting a wealthy
financier, whose name is not given in full, (the
Baron de R .) Deeply smitten with the
charms of a fair lady, who lives near the church
of Notre Dame de Loretto, his golden eloquence
gained him the smiles of his idol. On New
Year's day the lady, received a scented note,
with the Baron's seal, and a small box of rose
wood. The envelop was opened eagerly, n tiny
key fell out, and in the expectation of a set of
pearls or diamond bracelets, the fair fingers of
the lady opened the box, which displayed to
her view a row of chocolate bon-bons. To rush
to the window, and empty its contents into the
street, was Vaffaire d'ttn moment. In the even
ing the amorous Karon called, dangling a jewel
headed enne; he entered the boudoir, where,
with an indignant frown, the offended lady sat,
scarcely deigning to notice her adorer. The
Baron started, demanded an explanation, and
wns informed how his present had been re
ceived : that she had thrown his affrrutes papil
loite* out of the window. ** Do you know what
those ajjreusci papiUolte* cost ?" said the Baron,
quietly seating himself. " Do you mean to in
sult me?" retorted the ludy; " do you think I
counted them ?" " You might have done so,"
wns the reply, " for there wore thirty "
" Thirty sous," interrupted the lady. " Thirty
thousand francs," said the Baron, playing with
his watch-chain ; " each bon-bon was wrapped
in a bank note." The fair lady fainted, ana the
Baron is said to have enjoyed the scene ex
ceedingly.
Remedy for Sick Headach*.?A friend in
forms us that if persons who are subject to sick
headache will look steadily for two or three
minutes at a piece of yrten baize, green !?ilk, or
other green material, when they fteel the spell
coming on, they can throw it off entirely. Ho
has tried it frequently, and never knew it to
fail.?Portland Adper titer.
How would it do to take a full, broad stare at
the man who believes in the potency ?f such a
i remedy ?
