IN The vide womb Of nnereaiei nigh,
Devoid Of sense and notion
a know there Is another aud better
| world Is mans expressive exclamation

u a remark long since made. But Is NOT
this questionable? The very question
| should make rs csutisgs IN all our steps
through life, 10 "eschew evil and do good"
10 as to permit a Christians hopes to
raise Us IN the hour of danger, above all
/ fear, and IN the hour OF death to en- us
with all the comforts ola BLESSED expectan-
Icy.
Those remarks are suggested by tire
numerous instances of mortality which
have Of late been seen and felt among usin
the city Of Charleston. if You think them
worthy OF an insertion. give them "A place
IN your respectable journal. They ema-
nate from thoughts, the united result of
misfortune and reflection; aad from con-
riciion that there is no real happiness
butin reliance upon the Creator and Re-
deemer of Man" sc. C.
The Philadelphia Franklin Gazette, of
OF the 18th Of this month, announces the
arrival of Mr.. Galiatiu, our minister to

An English paper mentions pamphlet,
published IN the year 1923, Mith the fol,

red sermon preached at st. Michael's,
Crooked Lane, before the prince of Orange,
by the Rev. j. Croohshaniss, sold by Mat

The Missouri Enquirer mentions an Iron
Mountain, in Washington county, in that
state ; whichis supposed to be the most
extraordinary store ofiron ore ever dscoy-
cred in any country. 1t bears strong
resemblance TO native iron, and yields on
| fusion, 80 or so per cent. Hoes, plough
irons, and other implements of husbandry
made of this iron, without any addition OF
steel, are nearly equal to those formed in
the ordinary way.
THE PROPHETIC CHARLES FOX.
It's the sunset oflife gives me my stical lore,
And coming events cast their shadowsbefore."
Napoleon Bonaparte used to say of the
late Mr.. Fox, that he was to the British
what Cassandra Was to the Troians. 1t
was the fate Of both to speak important
truths, which were disbeiieved until it was
Two late. One OF our countryman's pro-
| phecies is now in course of fulflment.-
While debating on the Address grounded
on the preliminaries OF peace with the
French republic, then laid before pariia-
ment, Mr.. Fox defed all who heard lin, to
produce, in the history the world, ga more
acc,used object f1Ddr than the restoration
ef'fhe BourbonS. Ny undisguised opinion
the continucd) is, that If the coalition FOR
the restoration OF the Bourbons had sue
oeeded, The consequence Wonld hare been,
amongst ALL THE KINGS Of Europe, a per
petud guarantee AGAINST ALI PEOPLE
WHO MIGHT ne OPPRESSED byany Of them

fore must be benefited by the failure of
such project, but none more than Great
Britain. 10 the people Of this country the
consequences apouid hare been fatal. Refer
10 the page of history. Had the coal7ion
IN the reign of Charles the First, cstab-
ed such guarantee, would the liber-
ties OF the people have been prcser-
we'd against the House OF Stuart, or
would Hampden have gained the immor-
tai victory he did, To come lower down;
had such guarantee existed in later times,
would the Revolution of 1853 have been
able to maintaiH itself? say, therefore,
that there could not have bren any greater
misfortune to the world than the success of
that coalition FOR restoring the Bourbons to
the throne of France"
