 Now, this Is coming to the point. We like this prospect. it is most extraor- dinary to us that the whole people of these United States have for so many years submitted to the tax of 5 ceets u pound on their sugar, chiefly to enable some or 5 hundred planters in louis ianna to carry on losing business. We have heard of one of these planters who is wont 10 say significantly, speaking of his sugar plantation--"Unclc Sam puts thirty thousand dollars in my pocket ey- cry year.1 Let the people enquire who it is that bears the burden in this case.

 Through the good providence of God another year has terminated it's course, and you are not numbered with the pale nations of the dead Is 1t because yotl arc more worthy than the many, who, during the past year, have been called to test tle realities of an unknown world, that you are permitted to witness the approach of a new year. or is 1t owing to the lone sui. fering of g snerciful God, that you are 1 spared for season, in order to atone, by repentance and prayer, for the many sins by you committed during the past year, and that you may have time and opportu- nity of returning to the Lord with full pur- pose of heart, 10 spend the present year in manner more worthy the vocation where'vith you have been caiied, than as done the year that IS past and gone forey- CT.
 The present should be season of so- lemn examination, that the errors of the past may be narshaiied before the mind and serve as heacons to guard against be- Ing again stranded on the shoals of like sins. If any are sensible of having given offence to another, let them obtain the forgiveness of those against whom they have offended; but let them more urgent y seek the forgiveness of God for having offended one of his little ones.
 Let those who have received offence. freely forgive, that they may with clear conscience ask forgiveness from God, a. gainst whom all have sinned.
 Examine yourselves, to see if by any means, your conduct tow ards the world has been calculated to prove stumbling block to them, and to give them occasion to scof at the profession of religion. Ii such should unhappily haze been the case, II demands deep repentance, and earnest prayer to God, that the effect of your mis- conduct may be oyerrnled for good. and that they may be made the recipients Q! the saving grace Of the Blessed iiedeemer.
 That you may not, during tile present year, run into the same line of conduct which during the past year has filled your souls with mahy sorTows-iet each day be ushered in with prayer to God, for grace aud strength to enable yon to live to his glory-and suffer not the concerns Of the world, so to engross your mind sss not to aI- low frequent breathings to the throne oI mercy for inward strength to meet and de- feat the temptations of the world, tine flesh and the devil.
 hememoefft It IS from secret prayer that you are to expect those aids fronl on high, which is necessary to enable yo, 10 adorn your profession with lives and conversa- tions correspondent thereunto--and by Ineglecting secret prayer. you open many avenues by which sin and sorrow enter in- to the soul.
 And now as time is short and life uncer- tain, let each endeayor so to number his days, as to apply his heart unto wisdom. Another year has just run round, And B commenced it's course; True happiness may yet be found, ;! It flows from annnfiailing source.
 Then happy, happy may we be, l God is love, and grace IS free.

 DEAR SIR-The trial of Robert F. sterilag, for the murder of Gen. Fegaf- aad sioggan, closed on fhe 7tll inst. at- ter protracted trial of more than two weeks. Tine accused was defended by t. 9lan, Esq., Gen. Rl3,teg, aud |. Ci7tteaden, Esq, of Little Rock. As d citizen Of Arkansas, feel much pride m being able to state, that the latter gentlemans although associated with counsel much celebrated for their elo- qeence and great lega! learning, fully sustained the high opinion which had been formedoi his talents u legal attain meats, and made ali able and eIoqaent defence. His argument on the law and evidence to which he confined himself entirely, was able ard ingenious, and his appeal to the feelings of the jury, was fofcible and pathetic. The prose cntlon was conducted be F. c. Scot. l1sq., Prosecuting Attorney for the District, assisted by Hon. II. f. Bal- lafd, late Judge, and now Member of Congress elect from this District. The cause was opened by Mir. Scott, in an able and frank exposition of the law and application of the testimony. and was closed by Judge Bullard, who. on this occasion, fully maintained his heretofore very high standing as a law ter and advocate, and whose legal opjn- ions, as faras ] was capable of iud dging, were fully sustained and reiterated from the bench, in the charge given at the close of the argument. The Hon. J. 4. O7ertesa, who presided, delivered q lucid and strong charge to the jury. Not being lawyer, ] am only able 10 give you an imperfect and hasty outline of this trial. The jury returned in q few hours with a verdict of NOT Gurs.rY.
 Through the kindness of one of the gentlemen employed as counsel in this case, an epitome of the evidence, and all the leading facts of the case, were furnished to iIie;, but, but beiiig informed that astatement of the trial will be pub lished in detail, 1 shall not intrude any longer upon the eolums of your valua- ble paper upon this subject.

0''ited States and 1matey-7Ae fra ttan horSes.-Mr. 2hind, our Consul at Odessa. has reached the uniLed States. bearing the important treaty negoeiat. ed with tie Sublime Porte. We have before mentioned, as an article of cur rent news, that the sultan had presented to Mir. k. four elegant Arabian steeds. They, too, have arrived at New York. The Daily Advertiser says
 '1he Arabian horses brought out by Mir. Rhind, although they have suffered great fatigue during the ,oy- age from Smyrna, and especially in the storm of Friday night last, appear to be very fine animals, and will no doubt be most valuable acquisition to this country. One of them is sorrel. and an- other grey, all remarkably clean limbed and with fine heads; but it was impossi- hle to get a full sight of the animals on board the Phoebe Ann, standing as they did ln their stables, with slings beneath them. We understand that two of them had been brought from the desert only about three months before they were obtained for this country; and that al- though the voyage appeared in pros pect very dangerous for them, by the skill of one of the crew, who had been accustomed to the care of live stock, they were brought over with toIerablc comfort. ?
 s.7ae .arobian horses.-sV What will be done with the Arabian horses? The constitution precludes any public func- tionary Of the United States from ac- ceptlng any present of a foreign power. The State department is now fall of snuff boxes, slippers, cradles, pistols, guns, dSc. &c. presented by foreign sovereigns. The Arabian horses will have to be sent into the State Depart nnent until Congress authorizes by law, an auction sale of all the presents made to the Republic. Madcmoiselle Sontag once sold of by auction all the two years presents of her lovers and made money out of them. It Was perhaps the best use they could be put to.
 A writer in the late No. of the Edni- burgh Review, alluding to the bitter ness which too often distinguishes the writings oftheologicaldispu makes the following very just remark :-1sEven the most pious man may sometimes be angry; but when religion breathing peace and gentleness is defended in the worst spirit of it's enemies, the cause of truth is but imperfectIy promoted.
