[communicated. J
Mr. Editor—Why is it that the other 3ex can
not let us ladies and our affairs alone? 1 sup
pose, if questioned individually, each one would
attribute the numerous articles on tight lacingt
holding our tehee erect, &c., which appear in the
public prints, to the interest which they, the
lords of creation, (bah!) take in us and our
well being. The dear obsequious fellows pay
us vwits of four hours’ length, (I mean those
who have no mode or measure in their visiting
—the lack-discretion beys, and this class in
cludes nineteen twentieths;) during which pe
riod of martyrdom to us they are all devotion,
*. bending (metaphorically speaking) “the pli
ant hinges of the knee,” and acting a combi
nation of what they deem the attributes of Apol
lo, and the elegances of the Graces. They go
ome and indite sag** homilies for our edifica
♦ion—read us prematurely lectures on the mys
teries of the toilet, and pretend to know as
much of the pliability of whalebone and shaved
•ackory. and the toughness and strength of cot
; a cord, as the most experienced among us.
Some of them, the deeper and the wiser gentry,
s: e'ak of the deleterious effect on the animal
economy (boo!); the injury attending an unna
tural compression of the abdominal viscera (!!
too much learning hath made thee mad!”); the
depraved functions of the liver, the spleen, the
stomach, and a thousand other things which
but exist in their own rickelty fancies.
Now, I ant a mild and even tempered young .
lady—desirous of getting a well-ordered, gen- j
tlemanly husband, but not a tartar, by the liv- j
mg Jingo. I could not, however, help feeling a
little vexed at the extract from Dr. Jackson’s
book (old Sam Jackson’s, rather,) which ap
peared in your paper a day or two ago, preced
ed by some remarks signed “ M.w Now, who
is this M tster “ M ”? Some medical tyro, I
guess; for who else should be reading Dr. Jack
son's lucubrations? The object of this commu
nication, Mr. Snowden, (by the bye, you are a
married man, and old aunt Judy says there is
no harm in writing to you.) is to let nil the
young medical fry in town know that l intend
to keep a bright look upon them. 1 intend to
scrutinize the countenance of every doctor that
visits me between now jind the first of August;
and if I see the slightest symptom of guilt ma
nifested by blush ing{\) or otherwise, let the poor
wight depend on having his knuckles well rap
ped. Yours, till de »th, FANNY.
THE BEAUTY OF LIBERTY.
“ In all tilings that have beauty, there is no
tiling to man more comely than liberty.”
Milton. ■'
When the dance of the shadows
At day-break is done,
And the cheeks of the morning
Are red with the sun, .
When he sinks in his glorv, .
At eve from the view, »
And calls up the planets
To blaze in the blue;
1’here is beauty. But where is the beauty to see,
More proud than the sight of a nation when free.
When the beautiful bend
Of the bow is above,
Like a collar of light
On tiie bosom ot love;
When the moon in her mildness,
Is floating on high,
Like a banner of silver
Hung out in the sky;—
There is beauty. But earth has no beauty to see
More proud than the front of a nation when free.
In the depth of the darkness,
Unvaried in hue,
When the voice of the tempest
At midnight is still,
And the spirit of solitude
Sobs on the hill;-— ,
There is beauty. Birt where is the beauty to see
Like the broad beaming brow of a nation when
free?
In the breath of the morning,
When nature’s awake,
Ami calls up the chorus
To chaunt in the brake;
In the voice of the echo,
Unbound in the woods;
In the warbling of streams,
Anil the foaming of floods;—
There .s beauty But where is the beauty to see,
l*ike the thrice hallowed sight of a nation that’s
fiee?
When the striving of surges
Is mad on the main.
Like the charge of u column
Of plumes on the plain;
When the thunder is up
From his cloud-cradle sleep,
And the tempest is treading
The path of the deep;—
l ier«> is beauty. But where is the beauty to see,
Like the sun-brilliant brow of a nation when
• free!

li'. mr. dio to the old steward, Caleb Balderstone:

oe, it l suld burn tlteold stable to make it mair
feasible—this fire, besides that it will be an ex
cuse for asking' ouy thing we want through
the country—this fire will settle money things
on an honorable looting for the family’s cre

wheen idle chaps and queans, and what’s

Boston Daily Adc.
We perceive, upon looking into the late de
b »te$ of the British Parliament, that the Right
Honorable Secretary of the Colonial Depart
ment, Mr. Stanley, has been TnUlojtized. Mr.
Ronayne took occasion during a speech, on the
Irish Tythe Bill, to rebuke Mr. Stanley for a
certain indecorm touching the position of his
legs, which we had hitherto thought an Ameri
can vulgarism exclusively. “ The Right Hono
rable Secretary for the Colonies might smile,”
said Mr. Ronayne, “and might stretch his legs
across the table as if he were in an American
Coffee House, but he could could tell him that
^43 not the thing to satisfy the people of Ire
land.’’ We sympathize the more sincerely with
Mr. Stanley in this attack upon his understand-!
ing, as it i9 an assault also upon the u usages of
the republican party” in this country. „
iV. V. Cour.
Wo believe there never were so many of our
national vessels at any one Navy Yard, as thfere
are at the present moment at Charlestown —
Here are no less than 4 74’s, three frigates, and
two sloops of war. The Vermont and Virginia
seventy-fours, together with the Cumberland
frigate under cover on the stocks; the Colum
bus and Independence 74’s together with the
Boston sloop of war, under cover, at the wharf
or in the stream; the Potomac frigate, recently
arrived, dismantling and about to be taken into
dock: old Ironsides, just out of dock rebuilt
and refitting; and the Erie sloop of war, Cap
tain Perceival, preparing for a cruise, and
nearly ready for sea, in the stream. The three
vessels have been upon the stocks from eight;
and ten to a dozen years, one ot them perhaps
longer; are in excellent preservation, and might i
all, probably, in case of need, be launched in
50 or 60 days. The 74’s are pierced from 102
guns. The Potomac and Cumberland frigates
for 62, and Old Ironsides for 54—this is the only
difference between them arising for the two
former having four guns more on each side in
their waist; neither of the frigates however in
these “ piping times of peace,” carry more than
50 guns.
The Boston sloop of war is of the largest class,
mounting 24 medium guns. The Erie mounts
22. These nine vessels are pierced for, and ca
pable of mounting upwards of 600 guns, it be
ing equal to one quarter part of our whole Na
vy.—Boston liuzette.
The London Lancet represents the following
dialogue to have taken place at one of the me
tropolitan Hospitals:
Mr.-[entering a ward, and calling one
of his dressers]: “flow is the patient in
warfM” Dresser: “ Dead, sir!” Mr.-: “ How
is the man in the next ward?” Dresser: “ Dead,
sir!” Mr. -: “Oh, very well!” (a pause.)
“ How is the patient in tiie other ward?” Dress
er: “ Dead, sir!” Mr.-: “ Oh! how is the
man up stairs?” Dresser: “Dead, sir!” Mr.
-: “Why, they’re not all dead?” Dress
er: “ Yes, sir, they are.” Mr.-: “ That’s
strange!” Sepulchral voice from below: “ Not
at all!”
A singular mode of Smuggling.—The officers
of Customs at the town ofUesancon, in France,
had for some time suspected that the hearses
which pased the harriers contained more than
the remains of deceased citizens. A certain
respect however, for the melancholy cavalcade
prevented the officers stopping it, until at last,
one ot them, more sacriligeous than the rest,
stopped a hearse at the barriers, and searched
the coffin, in which he found not only one, but
several dead—legs of mutton and choice pieces
of beef. The articles were subject to a duty of
one or two sous a pound, the payment of which
the honest hearse-owner had often eluded under
cover of the rrquiescat in pace.—French paper.
Pithy Answer to a Short Advertisement.—A
shop-keeper in Grand-street, the other day, stuck
upon his door the following laconic advertise
ment: “ A Boy Wanted.” On going to his shop
the next morning, he beheld a smiling little ur
chin in a basket with the following pithy label:
“ Here he is.”—New York Transcript.

rilHE subscribers being desirous to close their
JL present business, in consequence of the
continued indisposition of one of the partners,
(Thomas Morris,) offer for sale all their interest
and stock on hand in their MILLSTONE MA
NUFACTORIES, in Paca street, and on the j
Falls Avenue, near Pratt street Bridge. The |
stock is large and of recent importation, and has j
been selected from the best Quarries in France.
by a competent judge. The business is well
known to afford a fair profit when well conduct
ed. The subscribers have been favored, for
many years, with an extensive and good cus
tom; and no doubt, if well conducted, it will
continue to command a full share of public pa
tronage. Should the purchaser prefer it, one of
the present firm (William Egenton) would have
no objections to remain as a partner with a
person having sufficient capital to purchase one
half, provided the purchaser w’as a practical
Millstone maker, and would take charge of the
manufacturing part, and devote the whole of his
time and attention to the business.
Any person disposed either to purchase or be
come an interested partner, will please make
early application to the subscribers, either per
sonally, or by letter, post paid, which will meet
prompt attention. The subscribers having con
cluded to close the business of the firm early in
July, early application is desirable. There is
bat very little old stock on hand.

RENOVATING LiUUlD,
Prej>arsd awl sold by ft. 8. BERNARD, Drug
gist, Norfolk, Virginia.
RECENT DISCOVEKY.—R. S. Bernard’s
Renovating Liquid, for extracting all kinds
of Oils, Paints, Tar, and Grease, from the most
delicate colored Silks, Satins, Cloths, Bomba
zines, or Velvets, without injuring, in the least,
their color or texture.
No danger need be apprehended in using it
upon the finest and ino.-l delicate Silks—nor is
it like the soaps so commonly advertised in our
day, which, by removing one evil, almost in
variably produce another of double size; nor
does it require the preparatory means of all
other renovators—such as hot irons and the
like. Only a little clean water, according to the
direction, is wanting.
Oil or Grease of any kind can he extracted
from the most delicate colored carpets, without
the usual trouble of taking them up. II used
according to the directions, it will at once ex
tract every particle of grease from the finest
Cloth, or most delicate Silks, without injur
ing in the least the color or texture.
