erhlara,;no scenes The number Of passengers now
going to Europe are few and far between-sometimes
half Dozen hardly score. Two years ago, no |
packet ever went without her thirty, forty OF
fv passengers splendid fellows fine ladies', full OF
life and vvacity, and looking over the Atlantic wave
as the saint does the edge of eternity and seeing
nought but happiness JOY, and delight OF every KIND.
Probably on packet day two years ago, such as lhs
is. one hundred persons would be embarkng for
Europe-now dozen or two the most. When
are we to have a change?
Go,se TO EuRorE-One Of the most pleasant
mernng visits pay, those to the packet ships,
as they lie along the wharves reposing their waite
~ pillows in all their glory and magnifcence either
takinp in or getting out cargoes. The other day
made morning call on board the packet ship Eng
land and there found Captain Waite as bright as
uav as busy as ever. descended to the cabin.

in few days" said the captain.

"Wel now if l had friend that | wanted to make

him TO come to this ship"
In week or So the England will sail. Captain
Waite is well known for his suavlty, attention, and
superior seamanship. Whoever wants to so to Eu-

MEN, WOMEN AND PIsToLs.-The "Courer" has
sometimes batch of singular notions. Who sup
niles them2 Some person, blessed with APIECE Of
sesl-a small measure Of mind. In remarkng upon
some sentiments hostile TO the corporate banking
system, avowed by Fanny Wright, in lecture deli
yerea in Cincinnati the Courier groups up the loco
fecos, the nfdes, the irrelgionsts and all Mr. Van
BureA's friends, being engaged IN the crusade
against the banks.
The Courier does not see half the movements now
rong on in our social system.
A large portion of the literary class-and they
are nc, everburdened with religon-are engaged in
the same cause. Washington Irving, Fennmore
Cooper George Bancroft, Bryant, and many Others,
poets RARsteri 70 nshguiar fact but SO it is. The
banking system will most likely be the principal
pent OF attack between parties fer half century to
come. The banks generally possess charters for 20
10 30 wears, and $500 900 of capital. They pre-
sent a tangible point. All who do not own bank
stock or receive not their favors facilities have
particular liking for the banks. Yet the the
cooperate banking system is not exactly war on the
general system of credit. Individual general
banking, managed BY individuals and particular per-
sons may grow up and become thepe Of the party in
power Symptoms of this are already appearing.
As to the professors Of irreligon and in6delity"
il is quite amusing the Cesrier talk piously
against them. Pray, is there single person con-
nected with the Courier thats not nearer Turk than
Christian in his religion and fastest How can tho
gallant Colonel or any Of his adjuncts, fly so sa-
varely at Fanny Wright Have they such holy
horror against petticoats7 II Fanny Wright has
put on breeches and is stridng through the world,
like an Amazon, narshalling the disciples ef Tom
Paine" is her conduct worse than that of certain
great man who also strobe in breeches through the
streets and snarshalled the disciples sack the
house OF Lewis TappaR, and turn certain churches
inside QUIT
Talk indeed OF the "irrelieion and infdelity" OF
Fanny Wright! He alone who is InRoeent-who
is pious-who is religious-who goes TO church-hss
night 10 cast the rst stone. The career Of Fanny
Wright has been, in every respect, as meek, as calm
rs pious, God.fearng, as religious az civilized,
respectable as that Of her assaiants. But perhaps
the gallant editor having vain tired to get fight
