RUSTIC COURTSHIP. At a rustic merry-muking, Roger wai seated facing Patty; enamored of her beauty, and stung by the arrows of the lit tle god, h** only vented his passion in sly looks, find now and then touching Patty’s toe wilh his foot under the table. Pattv, either fearful that the purity of her hose might be soiled, or determined to make the youth express a passion which he appear ed so warmly to feel, at length exclaimed { with spirit ; If you love me, why tell me so ; but dont dirty my stockings ! Fracas Extraordinary.—Yesterday, a nuptial party was assembled at the house of a most respectable gentleman in Up per-street, wht'n a scene of rather an extraordinary nature occurred, whereby the nuptials of the “ happy pair” have been postponed ad libitum. Carriages were in attendance to convey the bridal pair and company to church, when an altercation lock place between the bride elect and the bridegroom that was to be. which ended in his making his escape through the win dow, and over the rails in front of the house, halloed and pursued by a crowd which the uproar had collectej. We un derstand that th1* noting lady has ten thou sand pounds ,lo hei fortune. [Dublin Post. A young lady in thu west of England, named Grace Lord, by her uncommon ac complishments, had become the object bf attention to numerous suitors. The young lady constantly referred them to her father, who being of a whimsical temper, as well as being much attached to the societv of liis daughter. 1 >r a long time gave no one a favourable i '•Option. At length a young min, who had re parked that the father, was a great humourist, after experiencing a refusal, addressed him in writing in the following words, from the version of the o* th I'salm— * Hare m®rcv on me f.nrJ.

AAb" THE PILOT, w V' The following very bmdsome notice of Mr. Cooper’s last novel, Ibe Pilot, we ropy from tbe last number received of the Edinburg ^cotynno. It is as just os it is liberal. Character of Copper, the American jXorclist. We have long fixed our eyes on America ns tbe refuge and conservatory of all tbose princi ples, ami institutions which are truly valuable, and which, under the name of liberty, com prehend the right of free and fair exertion of all the faculties and powers of man, the absence •f all fettering restrictions on iudtisljy and tal •nt, equal priviledge or thought and action to all, and protection in tho fullest extent to pro pel ty of every description. Believing that ali this is substantially released in the United Stair*, we cannot avoid taking a deep interest iu every thing which tends to generate a bind ing national spirit in their citizen*, and to wa ken in them a well grounded pride in their own feats, as well as in their own institutions. And this is manifestly one of the objeets nearest to the heart of ourautliof. Washington Irving, it must he allowed, has written what will please every where ; but failing to per ceive or appreciate the high destinies of his country, he Las flattered the prejudices of Ku rope; while Cooper in the Spy nndthe Pilot, Ko grounds equally patriotic an j magnanimous, as beeu rousiug the just pride and best ener gies in America In his former work, he re corded some of her glories by land ; in the present he has characterized that skill and re solution from which her future glories are to be derived at sen—Smollet had been at sea; but Cooper is body and spirit a sailor.—The ocean is truly his element, the deck his home. He confers reality on all his descriptions. VVe hear the roar of tho waves—the plash of the oars—ibe hoarse language of the seamen. We see the waters—tbe ships— the mnnnit g of the yard*—the heaving of the lead—the cordage of the vessels. Every movement—from that of the tacking of the frigate to the launching of [the whale boat—is visible to onr eyes, and wr actually take part in the proceedings and con versations of tho crew. They are all, heart and soul, devoted to their profession nnd their country. Every tiling is done nnuticnlly. The dneriptions of the vessels—of their various ma neuvers— of the sunrise in the German ocean_ of, we might s&y, every sea scene in the novel are excellent ; hut the piloting of the frigate through the breakers and shoals at midnight_ ’the wrecking of the Ariel-—the fieice sen fights, and above all, perhaps, the last hours of the gun captain and cockswain, Long Tom, and the death of the sailing master, Bollropc_arc given with a truth and force, and generate such a ore Kin i<v>s interest that Ue toe himself is, in some respect*, thrown at a distence by our au thor. Yet nothing is overwrought.—Instead ef obvious straining, -nd on air of reugh free dom—sometimes approaching, but never, we think, amounting to coarseness—Is thrown over the whole; but under all this apparent ease, a responsihilty may be traced so deep, if the honor of an infaat ropubllcj iu her first struggle with gigp.rdTc and confident power of Old Em pire, depended on the exertions of everv in dividual. The bravery of and skill of Eng land, however, are not underrated ; and su periority in the Americans is ascribed to for 'une, and their sense in the cause in which bey are engaged. The characters, generally ipeakiog, are admirably brought out. Those af Long Tom and Bolthrope are unrivaled. Harnstable, in his attachment to the Ariel and ter craw in particular, is also excellent; and n Griffiths, and perhaps still more in tiie myste rious pilot Paul Jones, the author displays great skdl and power. There is, indeed, gen uine talent throughout; and although a fastidi ous taste may find some thing* to earn at, the reade.r who cannot relish these volumes, is ei the slave of authority, or wants the qualities which enable others to appreciate what, under the impulse of genius, is perceived by an unso phisticated head and poured out from an opt-.i manly, and generous heart. THE MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT IN AMERICA. From the boston dailt advertiser. Our country has complained, often and justly, of being misrepresented by vulgar and ill bred foreigners, whe had no access to proper means of information as to our real character, and who, if they had such access, could not have avnilnd themselves of it to any judicious pur pose. It is, therefore, a matter of real con vratutlaiou, that four voting Englishmen, of undoubted respectahillitv—three of them mem ber* pf the House of Commons—all of them men of education, of good manner*, anil good sensa, should have resolved to come and inform themselves ns to the condition and character of America. . These gentlemen, no doubt, are too polite ta snv a great deal here after of the dark shades they may observe in the picture Thev have not come among us to pick no materials for an octavo of slander and ribaldry ; nor to turn our hospitaUity into wii mu . IM'IUIKI tan f suppose that what fuvoroble impressions they may form are to be thrown into an opposite kind of work. But we mav expect that tliev will carry into the highest orders of English soci ety,and into Parliament, what never came there before, correct notions of America, farmed bv intelligent men, from personal observation. Mr. Stanley is the grandson, and will in the course of nature he the successor, of the Furl of Derby. His father, Lord Stanley, is Mem I)-r of the House of Commons, we believe, for Dancwtbire, and Mr. Stanley being a Member for thj borough of Preston, the family presents the singular example of three generations being •it Hie same time in Parliament. Mr, Stanley •hough scare.e 27 years of age, has, ns a Mem ber of the House of Commons, already given proof of the highest talents both for business and d°bafe; and is regarded as inferior in promise to no man of his time in England Mr. XVartley is the Member for Bossinnev, a small borough in th# county of Cornwall, un der the influence of th* Earl of Mount Edge combe and Mr. Stuart Wortlev, himself one of the county members for Yorkshire, and father to Mr Wortlev, now travelling in this courtrv. Mr. Dennison is a Member of the House, and a brother in law of the Speaker. Mr. I.(rbonrhere is the son of a gentleman wall Known ns one of the house of the Barings, We are much planned to understand, that before he left Boston, he purchased, for the liberal price of twelve hundred dollars, the beautiful picture of the Desert, one of the most admi rable creations of Mr, Alston's fine genius. We understand that these four young gnntln m-n, who are visiting onr country as fellow travellers, wore fellow students at Oxford. !’• "sentinj; themselves, as they do, with the plam, unassuming manners of rent gentlemen, we hope they will every where meet a cordial and hospitable reception, and lie treated with !lhe kindness to which their characters and objects so auijily entitle them. From the Baltimore patriot. PRESIDENTIAL FOOT RACE. We have jn«t had a glance at euoof the finest pieces of cnrricabire engraving that ever throw ihnrisih’cs of human nature into convulsions.— It is « a foot r. ter,” designed and executed, we ara authorised to «nv, by D. C. Johnsov, of the T 1 eat re. lately of Baltimore, new- of Boston.— Th-s several candidates for the Presidency nre - -toi b» the foreground. “ at fvV *p"rtAttains s littl* nbn :d, Crawford a band's length behind ; Old ‘Eckorv. close jti1 :d upon C : Ciev np p-- ir; i i th • rear. « ■ retching his head, and ex el'll ’*ing, ‘4 r>—.» it, I can't save my distance— •o » may *« well rtraw up." In the .rround, at 'he end of the course, stands the Fresidential \ chair, on th« left of it, the Capitol of tlie'Vfnited 3tnte», and on the right, the punt, hung upon a pole, containing, “ 26,000 tfoifar* per annum.”_ 1 he area is filled with spectators from nil parts of the Union, all real likenesses, of some of the prominent partirans of the different candidates, in the characteristic costume of (he different sections of the conntrv to which thev belong.— i the several candidates are all likenesses in the face, and equal if not superior, t» nnv wc ever j saw, the peculiarities of each being laid in buhl reliet. The bv-standers appear looking on, and making observations according to their several I partialities. The first is a Kentuckian.—44 Jlow is Clay ?” a Carolinian, with the most exquisite superciliousness replies, “ 0, dug cheap.” “ I)_n I it,” says Clay, .** 1 can’t save my distance—so I (may us well draw up,” “Weil don’t distress yourself,” says one in a racer’s habit, “there'll be some scrubbing by and by, and then you’ll have a chance.’’- “ Hurra for old Kentuek,” says another. “ D—»n my leather breeches, say* an olJ ^blly soldier fcyii b\s-breeches torn to rags, and a bottle of gin m his hand, 4 if I won’t nl wnys stand up for the Gia-cra/.' ’* You need nt he so r/aiuorousthere,’ says one, ‘your old Ken tuck’s come to a standstill.’, 44 D— u me if he once gets upon all fours,” snys one in a hunting he’ll deal-ish quick take the lead of the whole pack : Here a sweep, between a spruce f rench officer with a snuff-box, and an exquisite of the first water, folds his arms, sets his chin in to prim order, in his ruffles of soot, and snys “uho eair't be a (Ut,ndy.' 4 Ah hah!’ lays the f rench offictr, as Crawford hitches his spur in Edwards regr, Mons. Neddy, I link dat kick on de back of your side is worse den have uo din ner de fourt of Jul«f 1 he foremost fellows shows fine bottom, snys a Jockey ; uy, but the hindmost has the best bone, **T* a Tennesseean. 44 Blast my eves,” says a ' irginian with one eye gouged out, 44 if I don’t renter a small horn of rot-gut on that Bald filley in the middle." 1)—a my wig, snys a bald-head ed ynukoe, 44 if f don't bet you.” A little bit of a curly nosed Philndelphinn peeping under the mgs ot others says, 1 now old hickory cuts dirt.’ ‘ fhat innertrack fellow,’’ says a consequential » irginian—whom we suspect lives about the En quirer office in Richmond,—44 goes so well, that I suspect he must hove got the belter of the bots.” “ Like enough," says a green mountain Physi cian, but between you nndl-I don't think he’ll ever get the better oftheQuinc y.” Crawford hits Edwards in the rear with his -Edwards cries Oh! my honor,"—“It server ’ou right, you stu pid Nim^y in so it does, for trying to slop him,” says a prim looking old woman. A hroad cheek’d, cornfed Tennessean, looking through, the crowd at old hickory, exclaims, “well that’s not slow." But we cannot give our renders any thing like n view of this exquisite performance'; there is somethis? so inexpressibly humorous throughout the whole piece, so characteristic, nnd so true to nature, that we feel our power nt description absolutely defied. The engraver has done injustice to Clay—he has not “ drawn up ; on the c.ontt ary, he is determined to 44 save his distance.” »nd ■ c must do him the justice to say, tiiat he 44 kc‘.ys the. course” well. Adams, however, takes 'lie iead. “shows fine bottom,” end is destined to 44 take the purse” on the -1th of March next. FHOV TME V.F.X ANURIA nERAr.D.

The Slate House was on fire! A small blaze wassoen is- I suing forth from nenrthe summit of the building, shooting up above the ball and vnrie, and fast extending itself around the cupola. In a few moments the cupola was wrapped in (lames, the ••oofand sides as yet untouched. For a mo ment this splendid edifice stood, to compare great things to small, like a vast lighted lamp— the blazing cupola shooting its vivid flames high in the air In the mean time, the devouring element was rapidly spreading among the com bustible materials of the attic story and beneath the roof, through which it hurst in a hundred placess In less than half an hour the timbers of the roof began to fall in, breaking thro’ the floors and ceilings and falling into the apartments be low. The whole interior soon resembled a roaring furnace. In less than two hours all that was combustible with plastering, brick and stones, was reduced to a pile of smoking rub bish. The walls which were of brick, the chimnies and the four columns of the portico are left standing. A small part of the north wall only, where tho windows were thick fell down. The Public Offices—the Auditor’s and Trea surer’s on the left—the Secretary's and Regis ter's on tho right, tbnngh very near the main building were saved and not much injured. \ considerable portion of the furniture, many books, and some papers, and a quantity of rtius kets were destroy* I. This tvas among! the finest edifices in the Western country/ its dimensions. 100 ft front bv 6.1 deep, with n corresponding height, ft was built in ISlfi, and cost about tf’tO.OOO chiefly raised by the voluntary contributions of the citizens of Frankfort and its .vicinity. From the moment the fire was discovered the impracticability of saving the building was obvious. The cupola was above, the reach of the fire engine. The few who being near, found their wav lip into the cupola were with out. water, and found the (ire still Above their heads. Ref ire water could possibly be con veyed up, the whole cupola, so rapid was the progress of tho flames, was in a blaze. The origin of the fire was, no doubt, entirely accidental. [Ken. Paper.
