The manufacture Of sugar from beets, which
Napoleon endeavored to introduce generally in
to France, has grown lately into great impor-
lance. Millions of pounds Of sugar are thus
made. The principal cause Of the extension OF
this manufacture is the discovery ofthe great
benefits to agriculture connected with II. Al
ter the sugar has been extracted, there remains
so nutritious pulp that in two months, without
the employment Of any other Inod great num-
Der of cattle may be fed upon it. The French
Colonists, it is said, are becoming alarmed at
the progress ofthis new branch Of industry.

Mr. Wilde. determined to indulge their humor
ON the occasion. They took the wreath rom
the brow of O'kelly, and placed it on that OF oiu
Alceus, giving it a venerable claim TO auhlla-
ton of twenty-five hundred years. Ihey give
the Greek and Latin, and add one verse, W
prove that it was genuine poetcal eHusioh VI
old Alcaus to Sapho.
The editor of the Globe, who, like most pre-
tenders, admire what they do not unuerstaho'
broke out with new compliments upon the trals
cendant excellence of the poetry. AS ne u!c,
not understand either Greek or Lain, ne ol1
not perceive that it was what might be caileo
Cherokee Greek, and Dog Latin
The boar was so well arranged, that one OF
such Beoautan head might have been paroon-
ed for not seeing its points, il there had not peeh
annexed 10 the article OF the Magazine note,
which one would suppose could not escape the
most stupid observer. The note Is as loLoWs:
"This fragment. Greek with the Latin trans
latiou. was transmitted from Georgia. TO our
friend, DR.. Bartlett, of the New York Albion"
A Greek fragment from Georgia.! 1t has been
supposed by antiquarans, that the North Anne
ricdn Ind ans descended from the Greeks; and
doubtless our learned Theban concluded that
these beautiful lines were found in the Chero-
kee edition Of Alcens their great progenltor.-
This Treasury Magazine, from which Mr..
Blair extracted the substance OF his article mead
ed poetcal Justice" gives the following sam
in question, with that good natured irony which
the Globe mistook for criticism, the Magazine,
more gravely and truly, says of Mr. Blair:
with that propensity to blackguardism and
mischief which is the consuming curse OF an
the tribe the Washington Globe lately accused
Mr. Wilde of plagiarism, yet produced no PROOF
of the charge, and almost Immediately recaht,
ed and denounced itself as deliberate ana
malicious sanderer But what better can we
expect from those wi are too ignorant OF lltera
ture to know in what plagiarism consists, ana
too reckless and audacious in assertion to tear
! any thing but personal chastisement, or an ac-
! ton of bel;2
Mr.. Blair carefully transfers all that is even
true of this article. and leaves the foregoing, inc
only part intended to be serious. and that which
alone was true, as if it were intended to be a
grave charge. We would recommend to Tins
/ modern Thirsites, since he has discovered that
This is rot the poetry Of old Alcaus, to rctract
his compliments to its beauty, and say that up
on third reading, he finds it insipld American,

American COHon T'pist- Duty on Raw Cotton.
We have this week had shown to us a sample Of
cotton yarn, No. 22's Water Twist, spun us the
ticket imports, by Collect g. Smith. of the Ha-
milton factory, Patterson, New Jersey, which
was purchased in New-York for account Of
manufacturing house IN this town and has been
laid down here at full three half pence per Id.
less than il could have been bought for in this
market 1t is only fair to observe that This yarn
was probably purchased under the influence of
the serious depression which the recent crisis
in their monetary and banking system produced
in the United States, and that the price OF 22'S
water twist here has of late been decidedly high
er than il was for some considerable time pre-
viuusv. Nevertheless, after making all due al
lowances on this score. there will remain in The
transaction abundant ground for becoming sen

CONGRESS-.

In the Senate on Wednesday, upon Mr.. CLAY'S
second resolution, requiring the restoration OF
the Public Deposites to the Bank of the United
States, coming up,
Mr.. Mexican said he would say word before
the vote was taken. After all that had been
said both in and out of Congress about distress
for six months, this was the first and only OPP
portunty afforded to any Senator to vote for a
proposition savoring of relief and without hav-
ing changed his opinions in the least in refer
ence to the whole subject. he intended to vote
for this resolution not because he believed it
would produce essential relief, but because a
vast majority of his constituents who had spo-
ken on the subject had complained of deep dis
tress, and express confident belief that re-
storation of the depostes will grant relief. This
had not been confined alone to the oppo-
nents Of the Administration. He considered it
a question Of sheer expediency, and one which
he presumed many of his constituents could
Judge of more correctly than himself and he
did not feel himself at liberty to oppose their
will.
The question was then taken on the passage
of the resolution, and decided as follows:
YEAs-Messrs. Bell, Bibb, Black, Calhoun,
Clay, Clayton Ewing Frelinghuysen, Kent,
Knight Leigh, Mexican, Mangum, Naudain,
PondeXter, Porter, Prentiss, Preston, Robbins,
ssbee, Smith, southard sprague, Swift, Tom
linson, Tyler, Waggaman, Webster-2s.
