find it is believed by those who are en-
gagged in the trade, that prices will
continue to advance through this year.
AS these advances are said TO be
caused from the consumption of the
raw materials having considerably ex-
ceeded the supply for some years past,
l think it very important that you
should be informed of the advance, as
well as the grounds on which it has ia
ken place, and the feelings ofthose who
ought to be the best judges, as they
are the most deeply interested, and
therefore likely to be the best informed
on the subject of supply and consump-
ton; and as public opinion now seems
confirmed in a belief that still higher
prices will be obtained for raw produce
and for manufactured goods, it will be
necessary for you to keep these cir
cumstances in view, in making out
your orders for your autumn supplies.
The collector Of Baltimore has receiv-
ed the following letter containing intel
ligencc important to merchants In the
West India trade.
Consulate of the United States of America, }
.4nigua, lin Of lpriI, 1925. 5
Sir-A question has recently arisen
here, as to the legality Of shocked
slaves in American bottoms, under the
act of Sd, George 4th, (although adj
mitted heretofore but in consequence
of representation having been made,
by number Of the most respectable
merchants, to the collector Of the port,
that the colony woulG materially suffer
by the prohibition Of those articles, he
has consented to admit them to an en-
try, on the same terms as slaves, until
the pleasure ofthe honorable Commits
sioners of the Customs shall be known,
but not as a right growing out Of the
act above mentioned.
Conceiving it to be my duty, to make
this commune alton, for the informa-
ton of the citizens of the United States
engaged in the lumber trade, it remains
for them to decide, whether under such
circumstances it would not be proper
to refrain from the shipment Of those
articles altogether, until the opinion of
his majesty's government shall have
been had thereon, which can not be
longer than four months, more espe-
ciallv as this island as we'll as others,
are at present overstocked with all
kinds of lumber.

IiEROiSAI OF WOMEN.

A remarkable instance CT philanthropic heroism
is recorded IL the excellent report OF the prison dis
cipIine society, just published. The prison at
Chateris being crowded to excess, It became ne
cessary to confine band of robbers in the subter-
rsnean vaults of church There contagious
malady soon manifested itself, and several died.
The consequence was, that none would venture to
penetrate into this abyss of misery, in which the
wretched prisoners were daily becoming victims Of
disease. 1t was at this conjuncture that Mademoi-
selle de Fargo, Drawing disease and death ITSELF de-
scended alone, carrying assistance and hope to the
otherwise desperate sick. This moral heroine was
thus enabled to the lives of many unortunates
without losing her own and from that period down
wards, this admirable person has devoted herself to
the succou1ing of distressed criminals.

To slumber lull'd his heaven born-might
No weak indulgence warp'd thy mind,
To cloud the hero's path Of light.
Say,-when upon thy shielding breast
The saviour of his country hung,
When his soft lip to thine was prest
Wooing the accents from Thy tongue,
Saw'st thou, president, Ger his brow,
The shadowy wreath Of laurel start
Or, did thy nightly dream bestow
High visions Of his glorious part
And when his little hands were taught
BY thee IN simple prayer to rise,
Say,-were thy own deyotions fraught
With Heightened incense for the skies
Well may that realm confding rest,
Heroes, and mighty chiefs to see,
Who finds its infant offspring best
With monitors and guides Ike thee
A future age, than ours more Just,
With his shall blend thy honor'd name,
And rear, exulting DER thy dust,
The monument Of deathiess fame;
And thither bid young mothers wend,
TO bless thy spirit as they rove;
And learn, while DER thy tomb they bend,
For heaven to train the babes they love.

FROM THE VIRGINIA HERALD.
On visiting the Craze Of The Mother Of Geaea
Washington, at Fredericksburg.
Mother Of him whose godlike fame
The good throughout the world revere,
All why, without stone or name,
Thus sleep'st thou unregarded here
Fair pensle branches DER thee wave,
And nature decks the chosen dell
Yet surely DER thy hallow'd grave
A nations mournful signs should swell
Rome with burst of flial pride,
The mother Of her Gracchi view'd;
And why should we restrain the tide
Of reverential gratitude
She to sublime Volumnia paid
Her tribute of enraptur'd tears,
When the dread chief that voice obey'd
Which sternly curs'd bis infant years.
Thou, in the days of Sparta's might,
Hadst high on her illustrious roll
Been rank'd amid those matrons bright,
Who nobly nurs'd the great of soul.
For discipln'd in Wsdom's school,
The lofty pupil own'd thy sway;
And well might he be skill'd to rule,
So early nurtur'd to obey.

THE OAK TREE.
From the Danish


HERE have 1 stood, the pride of the park,
In Winter, with snow on my frozen bark
In Spring, 'mong the flowers that round me were
spread,
And among my own leaves when summer was fed
Three hundred years my top have raised,
Three hundred years have sadly gazed
O'er Natures wide extended scene,
Der rushing rivers and meadows green;
For, though was always willing to rove,
l never could yet my firm foot move.
They fed my brother who stood by my side,
And flung out his arms, so wide, SO wide.
How envy him, for how blest is he,
AS the keel of vessel he sails so free
Around the whole of the monstrous earth
But am still in the place of my birth.
once was too naughty and proud to complain,
But am now become feeble from age and pain,
And therefore l often give vent to my woes
When through my branches the wild wind blows
A night like this, calm and clear,
| have not seen for many year;
The milk-white doe and her tender fawn
Are skipping about on the moonlight lawn;
And on the verge of my time-worn root
Two lovers seated, and both are mute
Her arm encircles his youthful neck,
For none are present her love to check.
This night would almost my sad heart cheer,
Had one hope, or single fear.

Extract from RecolIections Of day in infancy at
the expiration Of half a century"
The mode Of taxing Tea, Il. d. l775.
Grandfather, Father and Uncle, had
gone to fight the Regulars at Lexington,
and after an anxious day our womaptolks
began to think Of refreshing them selves
with the infusion Of that forbidden plant,
which like sund other good things spo-
ken against and abhorred in public, ne
vertheless, was very well approved in
private. A pot Of pure water was &C
cordingly set over the kitchen fire, and
the company repaired to my mothers
bed chamber, the doors being carefully
closed, deep drawer was partly Sudden
from under small pine table made by
an ingenious cabinetmaker who under
stood the purpose for which it was in
tended: this drawer contained all the ne
cessary articles and ingredients for tea
drinking. From this repository The tea
pot was replenished with the exhierating
herb--an herb which my good mother
believed indispensably necessary to in
sure her in the continuance Of the excel
lent health which she had always enj Joy
ed. The hot water was next brought up
stairs (in pitcher) and as often as the
tea cups were emptied they were replac-
ed in the drawer, and When any one was
heard coming up stairs the drawer was
slidden back under the table.
This mysterious and silent ceremony
being ended, the children were called up,
and our aged and venerable grandmother
rose and made an ohhrohriate prayer,
not emitting to pray for our Gracious
Sovereign the King, sc. after which, the
good ladies found themselves wonderful
~ refreshed TO encourage their husbands
and brothers to fight manfully against
the Regulars.- Portsmouth Journal.

,4nscdote oJffhe celebrated French .ictor Car5jn.
The countenance, (says Zimmerman
may wear the appearance, not only Of
composure, but even of gaiety, while the
soul is inwardly suffering the keenest
anguish of unutterable wo. The cee-
brated CARLINI, French actor Of great
merit, and in high reputation with the
public, for the life, within, frolic, and Vi
yacity, with which he nightly entertain
ed for Partisan audiences, applied to a
physician to whom he was not personally
known, for advice; and represented to
him that he was sub ect to attacks of the
deepest melancholy. The physician adj
yised him to amuse his mind by scenes
Of pleasure, and particularly directed him
to frequent the Italian Comedy, "for,"
continued he, "your distemper must be
rooted indeed, if the acting of the lively
CAR1INI does not remove it," Alasm
exclaimed the unhappy patient, 81 am
the very CARLINI, whom you recommend
me to see, and while am capable of fill
ing Paris with mirth and laughter, am,
myself, the detected victim Of melancho-
ly and chagrin.'

If this fair rose offend thy sight,
PLACID in thy bosom bare,

And turn Lancastran there.
But if thy ruby lip it spy,

With envy pale 'twould lose its die,
And Yorkshire turn again.
