RID MONEY L.

That hard money is not essential to
the wealth or prosperity of nations, Is
proved not only by the financial opera
tions of our country, IN which little or no
specie is actually used in business trans.
actions, as well as by the fact that
Egypt, Assyria, and Persia, when in the
height of their prosperity, had no money,
in the sense we understand the express
sion. The Hebrews had none down to
the time of Judas Maccabeus, y Rome
none down to the time of ServIus lulli-
US. 1t is believed that the Greeks, when
strug Cling against their early enemies,
were without any coin. Homer speaks
of Diomedes, the bravest of the Greclan
chiefs, and the antagonist Of Hector
himself as having given for his armor,
nine oren!
Cattle seem TO have been the medium
of exchange, and were probably eslima-
ted IN value By The tale, and doubtless
PASSED current from one owner 10 anoih-
er In the Decalogue, the command
not to covet neighbours OK or ass, bears
out Ibis idea. No mention is made Of
money in the prohibition.
The Sparians had money that was tru-
ly hard-hard to the touch, hard to take,
and hard 10 carry. Ii u man was unlur-
tunately worth five dollars, he was oblig-
ed to employ a cart and pair Of oxen 10
drag his property about with him. II

CROPS IN ENGLAND.

The harvest in England has been very flvo-
rable. The Liverpool Courier of the Sd ult
says:-"The reports in the home counties are
more favorable as to the produce of the new
Wheats, and the yield is now expected to prove
an average; indeed, in Suffolk, it is estimated
by some growers to exceed a moderate aver
age. by one-fourth; the amount of the new crop
thus added to the crop of old corn remaining in
the hands of the farmers, seems to exclude any
probability for another season of having re-
course to foreign importation to meet the local
consumption" The price of Wheat had declin-
ed in consequence of this favorable report, and
il was supposed that the new wonld continue
to decline till it reached 42s. per quarter, when
the farmers would it was presumed, withhold
their supplies rather than submit to such a sac
rifice. In some counties this reduction had
caused some distress The Lincolnshire Chro-
nicle, says:-"For upwards oftwenty years the
price of wheat has not been SO low as it was in
Stamford market on Friday last The finest
samples fetched no more than AS. per quarter,
and the middlng samples from 32s. to Sos. The
unanimous exclamation of the farmers was
"What's to become of us?n In the families of
many hitherto respectable agriculturalists in this
county, fresh meat is now almost as great a ra-
rity as is in the miserable huts of the Irish pea
SAINTS and where little while ago comfort and
hospitality reigned, scanty supply of the coars-
est bacon is all that is left to the farmer"

Classical studies are without any compari-
son, the most important OF all; for their tenden-
CIV and their object is the knowledge Of human
nature which they consider under all its grand
est aspects-here, in the languages and the Ii
terature Of nations, which have left indelibe ira
ces Of their passage on earth; there in the fruit
iul vicisSitudes of history, constantly remodel
Ing and constantly improving the frame Of So
ciey.
Lastly, in philosophy, which reveals the SIM
pIestecments, and the uniform structure ofthat
wonderful being, whom, history, language, and

most varied, yet all connected with some part,
more or less important, of his internal constitu-
ton Classical studies keep alive the sacred
tradition Of the moral and intellectual lie of
The human race. To curtail or enfeeble such
studies would, in my eyes, be an act of barba-
nsm--a crime against all true and high civil-
zahon,-and, in some sort, an act of high trea-
son against humanity Cousin

DIED,

lkeE- .Ea OlED, -
At his residence, near Fairfax Court House,
Va, on the evening of the 29th of September
last Doctor WILLIAM GUNNELL in the 49th year
of his age, after severe indisposition Of two
weeks. Seldom has whole community sus-
tanned so great loss as the citizens Of Fairfax
County in the death Of this estimable man. AT
ter attending the usual course OF Lectures in
Philadelphia, he commenced the successful prac-
tice Of his laborious profession more than twen-
ty years ago, and by his unremitting attention,
his knowledge of his profession, his kindness
and humanity, had acquired the esteem and
unlimited confidence Of all who knew him. 1t
is not one single neighborhood, but the entire
County, almost every family, will feel his ire
parable loss. If, in the language of an eminent
poet, " an honest mans the noblest work of
God" it may be truly asserted that Doctor Will
liam Gunnell was that man. The Physician
and the friend of the widow and the orphan, a
father to the fatherless, his whole life was one
continued scene of usefulness. In all his pri-
vate relations, the most uneXceptionable and
amiable; in all his public transactions, high
minded and honorable and honest. He is gone
but he has left us the rich inheritance of his vr-
tues; and when parents shall direct their chill
dren to one as an eXemplar of their conduct
by initiating which they may immortalize them
selves, and that their characters may descend
with bright lustre to posterity they will point
to the character of Doctor William Gunne
and, in the warmth of paternal affection, they
will say, a." Go thou and do Hke,oise."
