 Few youDg men in our happy and free country are 80 situated as not tO have access to such society; but if you should be so un- fortunate as not to be able to humber among your acquaintance any ladies who answer this description, do not sOlace yourselves with the society Of the ignorant and vulgar but wait patiently Gill your own industry and good conduct shall give you admission to the most respectable domestic circles and in the mean time cultivate your mind, so that when ad. mitted to them y0u may be able to contribute your share to the social and intellectual pleas ures which are there to be found.''
 Female HerOism.-The progress of the fire, which destroyed number of houses in the city of Raleigh, recently, was stopped at the dwelling house of Mr. John Stuart, in Fay etteville. street. The, Raleigh Register fur nishes the Following particulars, which are ful- ly confirmed by our recollection of what pass ed at the former fires inalhat devoted city. "The preservation of this bUldiDg," says the Register, " presents one of the most rs- markable cOincidents ever recorded. At the great fire in June, 18l6, when there were up
 wards of fifty houses destroyed. the progress I of the flames was arrested at this house, by blowing up the kitchen. In January 1882.
 when 30 buildIngs were burnt, the fire was l again arrested at the same house, by blowing up kitchen in the same spot And now this building has been again preserved under simi- lar circumstances, having, besides the above, been in imminent danger from two other fires. Nor do we think either improper or indeIicaie tO remark here, that in every instance the fortunate escape was mainly attributable to the presence of mind, the calmness, the col
 lectedness, and persevering energy of Mrs.
 Stuart herself--a lady whose uniform conduct on such occasions, forms an admirable con- l trast to that of many of those who boast themselves the " lords of creation" This is the only distinction we can permit ourselves to draw, for none can deem it inyidiOus."
 Mr. Washington IrUing, we are concerned to say, met with serious accident yesterday, though we hope not one that will prove dan gerous. In driving one horse wagon down a steep and rocky hill in Westchester, the horse became alarmed, ran away, and over turning the wagon. threw MT. Irving, and nephew who was with him, among the rocks. They were both stunned, so as to lie for some time unconscious. The nephew recovered first, and found his uncle lying beside him | senseless. After some time he succeeded ID arOuslng Mr. l., who was then, with the as- sistance Of a chance passer.by, conveyed to a neighborng house and bled and thence to a
 his ncphew's house in TarrytOwn, where he
 was left on Sunday evening-withoat as yet any unpleasant symptoms having occurred. ". Y. Amer. of Monday.
 MT. lrving, we are happy to state, though still lndisposed from the accident we mention- ed yesterday. shows no alarming symptoms. The injury. however, Ia severe confusion on the head) was such as might we'll awaken the concern of his friends. and keep them still in some degree anxious.-Idem of 1'uesday. I Three Steam Boats Burns.-'The Louisville
 Advertiser of the G2d ult. contains the follow ing:-
 Ftre.-Ab0ut ten o'clock last evening the steamer Sentinel took fire while at the wharf l in front of this city. The flames spread with such rapidity, that in less than ten minutes, the Delphibe above, and the Rambler below, were also on fire, and three boats were burnt in about an hour to the waters edge. The Sentinel had full freight for New Orleans, the Rambler had on board several hundred barrels of whiskey, and the Delphine had just received about twenty tons freight from New Orleans for Cincinnati. s

 From major Jack Downing, at the Bite Tav.

 Stage Tavern in Newburyport.
 Dear Uncle
 I'm all of clear father. We've streeked 1t on SO fur. beyond all account. We haint stopped no where long enuf to git shirt 1 washed; and all that brot are dirty as pi. zen. wish you'G send me on two or three clean ones Co. morrow; and if them corderoy pantaoons are fixed, should like to have 'em sent along at the same time. You may think it rather curious that I'm stoppin here at the Bite Tavern hut you see, thers's sich laundering swod of folks up to the Fremont, that thought upon the whole. I'de better git my vittles down here and SO go up and bunk with the old gineral when it comes night; and what's more than all that, | used to git my fndder here, pretty much, when run that coaster up from Downing vile with hoop poles and ash slaves.
 Knight has brOt me your letter, and I'm dreadful sorry y0u didn't pay the hostage on't, for. I'm runnin terrible short of change. There's been an awful lot of subscription pa- pers prot in tO us since we started-and you know it wouldn't look we'll for us to refuse sNnn mA0Smor N41nu .,:l.
