PORfRAilo
Of the Bachelor, and the 'adrr'sa

A Bachelor is a kind Of Ichimsical
being. which nature never intended
20 create. He was formed out Of the
odd, & ends of what materials were
left, alter the great work was over.
unluckiIy fer him, the finer pas
sions are all mixed up in the com
,s,;tion Of these creatures, intended
for social enioymeuts. What remains
for the Bache!or. is hardly enough
70 rub reuud the erusty mould into
which he i, thrown. Some season.
inc, that he may not be quite insipid
must be substituted in the stead Of
raore valuable ingredients so, in
dame Nature, fossils self love with
out weight or measure. a kind Of IA
derstandiug, that is tit for no other
use s. spTiukliug Of wisdom, which
turns acid from the sour dispositions
of the esscis in which il is contain
ed : and the whole composition. is
eoncluded with animm"derate portion
OF Oddities, Thus formed, thus fl
nished, Bachelor is popped into the
world Mere lumber, without a pos.
sibili,y ofbeing happy himself ores
sentiai!y contributing to the baPpi-
ness of others. His only business
is to keep himself quiet He srt,
up to lay down and lays down TO

live. his wakius hours no agree

bers. ifever he speaks the language
Of scnsibility, he speaks il on the ex.
esllenca Of some favorite dish or
the choice liquors with which his
ceIiers abound. On such subjects,
ne feels the raptures Of lover. As
for the pace Of "a Bachelor. he wonid
hardly mend it, to get out OF a storm,
though that storm were to threaten a
deluge +; but show him women who
is entitled to the compliment of his

were walking for a great wager.
His house keeper. or bis laundress.

commerce, TO a higher duty than one
half per cent. as by that treaty the U.
States with regard to its commercial
privilege, is placed upon the footing Of
the most favoured nation, and only
half per cent. duty is levied upon the
same goods exported to any OF the
continental territories. Now, there
fore, only half per cent. duty is de-
manded at the custom-house. This
decision will of course support a claim
for a return of one half per cent. upon
the declared value of such dutiable
goods as have been shipped to the Y.
States since the peace.
{" 1t may also be proper to remark
that the Trinity House are now re-
turning a sureharge Of light money
levied upon American ships, beyond
what British ships were able to pay,
which surcharge amounts to about 3ol
upon ship Of 500 tons.
1T seems to be the intention Ofgo-
yernment to reduce the duty upon A
mcrican rice to Is. cd. Cwt. which is
the duty payable upon East India
rice, if it would not, during the pre-.
sent state Of the country, admit it du-
ty free.

duce in this market Of amy kind, ex-
cepting tobacco and have endea-

ny of the above casks, I may say
more than half uf them, which are

iirst quality. The mere liant loses at
least the value of the freight by not at
tending to the inspection at home.
Z" We have no American cotton in
this market, aud there has not been
any here Of any consequence forsome
months.
A fair average quality of Mary
