EOREIHH.
From the London Courier, Sept. ii.

From the London Courier, Sept. ID.
We have received this smorning
New-York papers to the 22d ult. and
Charleston to the 18th. They contain no
further intelligence from South Ameri-
ca; bu, they are filled with details of
the reception Of Gen. La Fayette. We
may, perhaps, make a few selections
from them tomorrow, to show how lit
tie essential difference there is between
republican and monarchial honors. The
same Aattery, the same pomp, the same
ceremony, the same parade, but more
servility, aud infinitely more of burlesque
self-importance. That thing miscalied
equality, engenders all sorts of idle pre-
tensions !; for as thereis no real equality
either in nature or society, while the as
sumption is so graceful to weak minds,
we constantly see, where every man
thinks himself equal TO those abou, him,
the most preposterous efforts to sustain
the dslusion with plausible appearances.
Hence it is that your democrats, and
your Jewellers, of all descriptions, are so
proluse OF mutual civilities hence they
so be-praise and be-daub each other ;
and hence, though differing perhaps
upon all other subjects, they are SO cor
daily unanimous upon that of their own
superlalive merits. General La Fay
cite, for example, says, whatever he
may think, that the Americans are the
most exalted people in the world; and
the Americans cannot say less in rsturn,
whatever they may think too, than that
there never was such man as Gen. La
Fayette. And SO they go on keeping
their countenances all the while, as if
the rest OF tho world were not looking on
with scorn and derisisn ct their foole-
ries."
Scold away gentlemen, tits what We
expected.

Others that spark from one ofthe Chin

The culture Of the vine seems to have
become favorite pursuit with the agri-
culturalists of the present day. There
are perhaps not less than S or 90 yine-.
yards within as many miles of the b.
rough of York, Pennsy lyania, and nearly
all commenced within a year or TWO.
Should this disposition increase, and as
consequence the wine press be made
to take the place of the distillery, it will
benefit the morals of the community.
Among what is called civilized nations,
the vice Of drunkenness has always been
found to prevail most extensively where
the vine is not cultivated. To encour-
age our yine-growers, let them turn
their eyes to France. That country,
though not the native land of the vine,
has at the present day, almost four mil
lions Of acres employed in its cultiva-
ton. The everage production of these
immense vineyards, is about one thou
sand millions of gallons /: and the whole
annual value Of their vintage, abou. one
hundred and twenty-five millions of dol
lars. Phil Post.
Emigration TO Hayti-Emigra,ion to
Hayti is progressing with unexampled
rapidly; it is not mere experiment,
but vessel after vessel is de patcbed.
The New-York Evening Post of Tues
day says-the ship Concordia is expect
ed To Gail The ,Garaonn -, - 49, o,,x -.
morning from this port for Hayti, with
about $50 colored persons of both sexes.
Six vessels at Philadelphia, one at Port
Elizabeth, one at Alexandria, and seve-
raj others at Baltimore, are on the eve
of sailing for she same destination. 1t is
calculated that between three and four
thousand of these persons will leave the
United States within few days, and tina,
every fortnight additional numbers will
be shipped off under the direction oil
President Boyer's agent, who pays the
expense OF their transmission by authori-
ty of the Hayden government. One
hundred OF those about TO sail from this
port, are from the state of New Jersey,
and there can be no doubt that the great
advantages held out willinduce the mass
OF this part Of cur population to with
draw from the country.
1t appears by the Dayton CO., Watch
man, that twenty colored persons left that
place on the Est alt. for Hayti, via New
York.
Singular Birfhs.-A negro in the pos
session of gentleman OF this city,
brought forth within thirteen months, FIVE
children. This is no prodigy too pro-
digions to be asserted, as was the late
case Of the French female, who was
stated to have brought forth seven chill
dren at one birth--but the present is a
plain matter of fact. During the last
year, this negro woman had twins--both
hoys, now living and in fine health.
Within thirteen months after, (,hat is, in
July lasO she had three fine infants at
one bir,h-and what is curious enough,
they are of different sexes and colors
one girl and two boys. The girl is oil
the mulatto coior-one of the boys, has
the yellow tinge and glossy hair of the
lndiau-the Other, has the jet black aud
woollen, hearty, and nurs ed by the mo-
ther; who herself enjoys excellent health.
She and her husband are blacks.
