Southern Rerie,o-'Thc fourteenth number of this valuable and highly interesting Periodical, was is- sued on Thursday last, after delay of some days, occasioned by circumstances which the Editors
 we believe had no control. We have been enabled to give glance merely at tho contents of the pre- sent number of the Review; but assured by a literary gentleman, in whose judgement we have great reliance that most of the articles written with great ability; and display degree of literary and scientific research that would reflect credit upon any similar work of the age. The paper Utilita- rianism, together with that of Cod,fcation embody a fund of highly interesting and important matter- and the article on French Nooeis furnishes with condensed history of the prose fiction of one of the most extraordinary people of modern times. The mechanical portion of the Southern Rerie,o admits of improvcment-the type is imperfect, and should be replaced by betterabove all, the publishers should be punctuat in issuing the Repie'o at the appointed eriods-Charieston Courier.

Columbia, SEPT. 3d.-It will be news to out few of our readers fear, to tell hem that the most ex traordinary continuance of wet weather of which tradition gives us here any account has been aend- ed by floods in great water coarses which if not altogether as high, have been peraps more destrue. tive than any hitherto known in our State. The de- structon has been immense upon the Congaree, Wateree, and Savannah, and we have no doubt that accounts have yet to reach w, of similar injuries upon all the considerable rives of the State Inter- course has been greatly im,eded, by the loss of bridges, &c., and will perhaps be many days yet before the full extert of injary is ascertaIned The floods we suspec have been felt far beyond our own State, towards the North particularly.

Female Courtshipin Rome.-The women of Rome know nothing of those restraints which decacy. modesty, and virtue imposes the sex in northern Europe. A Roman lady, who takes liking 10 young foreigner, does not cast down her eyes when he looks at her, but fixes them upon him long and with pleasure; nay, she gazes at him alone when she meets him, in company, at church, at the thea ire, or in her walks. She will say without ceremo- ny to friend of the young man: Dite alche signOr che nti piace "Tell that gentleman like him. .'- If the man of her choice feels the like sentiments, and asks Mi roiete bene?-"Are you fond of me?"- she replies with the utmost irankness s. ea,o-"Yes. commence connexions which last for years, and which, when they are dissolved, plunge the in- to despair.

These arc, 1st the Ministerial in favor of . hereditary peerage, and opposed to the principles of the late Revolutions 2d the Anti Ministerial desr- ous of Republican institutions; and 3d. the Napole- onists, who are avowed Republicans; yet desirous of peace, if peace be preserved without humiia- ton to France There is no doubt that the heredi. tary peerage will be abolished; and peerage for life established in its place. national system of representation, like that of America is desired by the Republicans, or Liberal party in France, and was, it seems promised to the people at the late Revelation.

We had the pleasure of conversing, day or two ago, with gentleman who had just before spent day in the company of Mir Madison at his seat in Orange county, Virginia. Our readers will be glad to learn that the venerable Ex-President is in fine health, and in full possession of all his faculties of mind and body, with unabaled cheeriuness ofsprits having before him the prospect of living to good old age. His years at present number more than eighty; but his mother lived if we mistake not to nearly hundred years, and we have reason to hope that her son will for many years continue to exhibit to the present generation, ustrious living exam pie of the pure and vrtuous character of the states man to whom are indebted for present ad- mirable form of Government. It is, indeed, glo. rous moral spectacle, to see the Father of the Con- stuton receiving the homage of the respect and veneration of the children of those who have grown up and prospered under its wings.
 There are many of our readers who will rejoice to learn that their old unvaryng and kind friend. the excellent Consort of MT Madison, is in the same health and spirits as himself-Nat. int.

PoLAND.-The conspiracy, on the part of certain Polish officers, who are believed to have been long faithless to the great cause of their country, must tend to awaken feelings of the deepest modification and indignant re- gret, in the breasts of all honorable and pa- triotic men, and adds renewed confirmation to the remark of the Roman satirist, that there is nothing, however great, which is not in danger from something weak
 The infamous attempt to betray Poland in- to the hands of her enemies, neither originat- ed with, nor was participated in by any son of Poland; none in whom runs the true Polish blood; aliens to Poland and to honor, let Rus sia claim them as her own; parent worthy of such offspring. The recreant traitors were, foiled, however; and may an appropriate death set its seal upon their infamy-may their base blood be demanded by one voice throughout Poland, as an atonement, howe-- yer imperfect, to the violated faith of brave nation.

The National Intelligencer of Saturday last con- tains some spirit-strrng animadversons upon the farming crisis now impending over our happy coun- try. The sentiments recently put forth by MT CAL HoUN, are considered as embodying a creed of the most alarming character, striking at the very exis- tence of the Republic. Every good citizen, every true American, is emphatically called upon to lay aside the petty distinctions which have hitherto d- vided them, and to rally around the constitution and government bequeathed to us by urfathers-to save our country from the ruin which inevitably awaits us, if the doctrine of Notification should ultimately prevail.

it had been announced that the Hon. Mcssrs
Writ and SERGEANT would address the meeting,
the church was crowded at an early hour After
