By this duty the trade with those settlements has been destroyed and the merchants encouraged by the } per cent. exemption are turning their eyes towards the United Staes irnporta,ions from which have thus an advantage of 7 per cent over those of Honduras.

THE PLEASURES OF EMPLOYMENT.

THE PLEASURES OF EMPLOYMENT.
 Perhaps there are but few things in this sad, sad world, which is so truly nestimable, and yet so lit
 tie valued, the pleasure that is derived from em- ployment, and particularly when that employment is directed to object both sudabe and useful, En- nui is the most dstres ssing complaint-n fact it is one of the greatest evils that was showered forth from Pandoras vlainous box. It is one that utterly battles the virtues of the whole Matera Medca, and one that labour some exciting pursuit. can alone eradicate. The moment.t this panacea is applied, it whisls away, with far greater celerity than old Salem Witch on her broomstick during heavy NorhEaster, In running my eye over T late pub cation, observed the following beautiful passage, and as ue lawyers say, take the liberty ofquoing il us case in point to prove that employment is the happiest condition of man.
 1t is told of religious recuse who in the early ages of Christianity betook himselfto cave in Up- per Egypt, which, in the times of the Pharoas, had been depository for mummes that he prayed there, morning, noon, and night; eating only the dates which some neighboring trees afforded, and drinking oft the waters ofthe Nile. At length the hermit be- came weary of life and then he prayed still more earnestly. After this duty, one day he fell asleep and thevsion ofan angel appeared to him in dream commanding him to arise, and cut down neighbor- ing Palmtree. and make rope of its ibres and, ai ter it was done, the angel would appear to him a. gain. The hermit awoke, and instantly applied himself to obey the vision He travelled about ma ny days before he could procure axe, and during his journey he found himself happier than he had been for many years. His prayers were now short and few, but what they wanted in length and num- Der, they ontmeasured in fervency. Having return ed with the axe, he cut down the tree; and with much abour and assiduity during several days, pre- pared the flores to make the rope; and after con tinuance of daily occupation of some weeks, compe ted the command. The angel that night appeared to him as promised "Dominico," said the celestial viser, "you are now no longer weary of life, but happy Know then, that man made for lubour; and prayer is also his duty the one well as the other is essential to his wel-being. Arise in the morning, take the chord, and with it gird up thy loins; go forth to the world, and let be memorial to thee, of what God expects from man, fine would be blessed with happiness on earth"
 There are doubt many in this community, we'll as in all others, who are enthusasts in religion as well as in politics, whose time Iangs heavy on their hands, merely because they TALK more than they WORK, if they will learn to nullify lndoence by reading the above, they will not my be happier, but far more usefHl and patriotic, and shall not have rolled up my sleeves in vain.

On Friday last the United States Court at this place, de- cided the cause, and decreed to the lbeIant 750 dollars, besides his expenses. Many persons were under the impression that much larger sun would have been allowed for salvage and some thought that at least 5000 dollars woad be given but me reason assigned by his Honor Judge Webb, Tn his opinion, for decreeing so small an amount, were perfectly sa- tislactory to us, and believe, were equally so to most persons who heard the opinion deIrered.- They founded principally upon the mpolicy of placing temptations within the reach of Light House Keepers which might operate as al induce ment, either to a neglect of duty, to suc acts would probably lead vessels into the very difficulties against which their lights are intended to ,uard.- We will give the opinion entire in next
