DELAFrELD's ANTIQUITIEs.-An Inquiry into
the origin of the Antiquities of America By John
DeIa6eld, ir., with an Appendix, containing notes,
and "a view Of the causes of the superiority OF the
men of the Northern, over those ct the Southern
Hemisphere: !" By James Lakely, M. d. New
York. Colt, Burgess e. Co.
The work Of Mr.. Delafeld, on the Antiquities OF
America, in relation TO the appearance OF which,
expectation has run high, has recently been publish
ed, in a handsome quarto volume, under the fore.
going title. A slight examination of its pages, will
serve to show that it is a work of no small interest,
exhibiting much industry, and patient investigation
Of the subject in hand, by the author. His theory
is, that this new world, above the far Atlantic,
was originally peopled by two distinct races-the
one from the North, the other from the South OF
Asia. In what mode the passage from one conti-
nent to the other, or how the descent upon this,
was made, by a Northern horde, or the more civiii-
zed people Of the South, may be a subject OF various
opinions, as it is of conjecture there seems, never
theless, to be much evidence in support of the con-
clusion that the continent of America was so peo-
pled by two distinct races, from distant portions
Of the Asiatic continent and Of very different de-
erees of civilization, and attainments in the arts OF
life.
Tho Mexicans and Peruyians are held to have
come from Southern Asia, aud to be identical IN
their descent with the ancient inhabitants of Egypt
and Hihdostan-a&ha having a common origin IL the
family of CusH. These "colonists" are supposed
to have made their way, in the course of ages,
through Persia and Siberia, and thence, by way OF
Behring's Straits, to North America, Their pro-
eress thence southwark, and their occupation, for a
time, of the northern portion of the continent, at a
period anterior to those who we're found in posses
sion by the European colonists, two hundred years
ago, are traced by the remaining antiquities OF the
northern continent. The author maintains his the
ory by proofs educed under various heads, namely,
those OF cranial formation, mythology, hierogly,
phics, architecture, customs, &c. And from all
these. the mind of the reader will very likely be led
to coincide with hin in the opinion that North
America was FIRST peopled by the Mexicans and
Peruyians, and that the race migrated from Southern
Asia. The WORK is illustrated by numerous plates
and drawings, and has besides a Mexican symbolic
map, covering nineteen feet of paper. 1t lie a curl
Gus and instructive volume, handsomely got up.

Spirit that breathest through my lattice. thou
That cools the twilight Of the sultry day,
Gratefully flows thy freshness round my brow;
Thou hast been ont upon the deep at play,
Riding all day the wild blue wave I'LL now,
Roughening their crests, and scattering high then
And swelling the white sail. / welcome thee
To the scorched land, thou wander Of the sea.
Nor / alone--a thousand bosoms round
InhaIe thee in the fulness of delight;
And languid forms rise up, and pulses bound
Livelier, at coming of the wind of night;
And, languishing to hear thy grateful sound,
Lies the vast inland stretched beyond the sight.
Go forth into the gathering shade go forth,
Gods blessing breathed upon the fainting earth!
Go, rock the wood-bird in his nest,
Curl the still waters, bright with stars. and rouse
The wide old wood from his majestic rest,
Summoning from the innumcrable boughs
The strange, deep harmonies that haunt his breast
Pleasant shall be thy way where meekly bows
The shutting flower, and darkllng waters pass,
And 'twixt o'ershadowing branches and tho grass.
The faint old man shall lean his silver head
To feel thee ; thou shall kiss the child asleep,
And dry the moistened curls that overspread
His temples, while hisbreathing grows more deep:
And thew who stand about the sick mans bed,
Shall Joy to listen to thy distant sweep,
And softly part his curtains to allow
Thy visit, grateful to his burning brow.
Go-but the circle Of eternal change,
That is the life of nature, shall restore,
With sounds and scents, from all thy mighty range,
Thee to thy birthplace of the deep once more;
Sweet odors in the sea air, sweet and strange,
Shall tell the home sick mariner Of the shore
And, listening to thy murmer, he shall deem
He hears the rustling leaf and running stream.

DECISION CONCERNING PROMISSORY
NOTES.

AT the late term of the Supreme Court OF New
Jersey an important decision was made, in the case
of Brittin VS.. Freeman, affecting usurious trsnsac-
lions with promissory notes, and the admissipiiity
of endorsers as witnesses. As this decision IS OF
Importance to the Public, we have obtained the
following summary of the points decided, Tor publ
cation. 1t was decided
Isl. That the endorser of note, or other negotl-
able instrument, in a suit between other parties
thereto, is a competent witness to prove that the
instrument, or the endorsement thereof, was made
on a usurious or other corrupt or unlawful agree
ment or to prove any other matter tending TO deleat
the plaintiff recovery. And, =,
cd. That if the holder Of a promisory note, valid
in its creation between the original parties, endof-
sed it to another BY a general endorsement Tor a
less sum than the amount due upon it, after deduc-
ting legal interest, the transaction Will be usurious'
unless the excess retained by the endorsee was al
lowed 10 him to cover the expense OF remittance OF
he difference of exchange between the place oil the
transaction and the place where the note is paya'
BILE but such allowance must not be used as a mere
cover for taking more than the legal interest.
3d. That such usurious endorsee cannot recover
upon the note against his immediate endorser, nor
AGAINST any prior party to the note.
4th. That if the holder ola note transfer 1t BY de-
livery, or by endorsement without recourse 10 nim'
il is a sale, and not a discount, OF the note ana
consequently not usurious, though the vendef geiss
Cor il much less than it is actually worth-proVaeo
sucb transaction was not resorted 10 for the purpose
Of effecting a loan at a greater interest tnanis al
lowed by law.

Another WoLF UPON MS WALK.-We learn
from an exchange paper that Col. johnson y ex-
pected to set out on a pilgrimage TO the Norm as
soon as Mr.. Van Buren, returns. He VIII probably
take " his family with him, as thai does NOT come
within the purview Of the ~interdict, imposed oy

a be,trr expedient could not be devised for election
eering with the Abolitionists. The Col will reach
New York carly in October; time enough 10 go The

1t is more than probable that Mr.. CLAY will be
the Wing candidate Of the National Convention, and
that he will be the regular opposition candidate to
Mr.. VAN buren,. Whether he will succeed is a
matter Of doubt; but we have the strongest reasons
for believing that he is not only the best candidate
that the Opposition can run, on account OF his tai
ents, his services, and his claims, but that, also,
now. he is the most available, and the one most like
ly to concentrate upon himself the votes Of the
great majority Of the People Of this country who
are opposed to the present administration
MIR. CLAY, we feel authorized to say, has had,
and will have, nothing to do with the decision OF
the question, who is to be the Wing candidate T.
He would be the same, should General HARRISON
be chosen, that he now is. Personally, he is indif.
ferent to office and distinction. The measure OF
his fame is full. His friends have his public ca
reer for the future in their own hands-we mean
his public career, so far as future honors are con-
cerned.-Aler. Gag.

A GRAND ENTERPRIsE.-We learn from a late
English paper that a company has been formed IN
London for the purpose of opening a communion
ton between that city and South America and the
Eass Indies (by means of steamships and railroads)
h. the way Of the Isthmus OF Darien. With this
view, steamships are to run to Lake Nicaragua, on
he Isthmus, from thence by raIl-road, a distance OF
nine miles, to the river Chagres. which empties IN
70 the Pacific, and from thence by steam, or any
other kind Of navigation, to South America or the
East Indies.
The waters Of Lake Nicaragua and the river
Chagres arc sufficient for tho anchorage and nav'ga-
ton Of line of BATTLE ships.
If this enterprise should be successful, the pas
SAGE around Cape Horn, the most dangerous and
tedious Of all voyoges, will be avoided World.

JUsr IN TIME TO DE TOO LATE On Monday
forenoon, as Mr.. f.. B. Peek, ofthe firm OF Il Thomas
and Peek, merchants, z Pine street, was standing
in the Exchange Reading Room, be had his pocket
book picked from his coat pocket, by some light
fingered rogue, who had cleared out before the rob
berry was discovered. The book contained a small
sum of money, and promissory notes and drafts
amounting to about $4,000, among which was a
draft ON the New York State Bank for $1,000, pay
able on demand. As soon as he ascertained his
loss, Mr.. Peek proceeded to the State Bank, 10
stop the payment of the latter draft; but what was
his ehagrin to find that the thief had just drawn the
$1,000, and taken his departure. The balance OF
the notes and drafts will, of course, be OF no use TO
the adroit gentleman, and il is to be hoped he will
return them to Mr.. P's. address.-N. Y. Times.

PosT OFFIcE IMPROVEMENTS IN EuRoFE.-Since
the passage of the late act Of Parliament, by which
the postage upon all letters has been reduced TO a
pennv, the Governments Of Europe have proposed
reforms in their post regulations. 1t is said in a
letter from Berlin, that the Russian Government
has in view a project for transporting allletters des-
tined for that Empire, from certain GENITAL points
by its own couriers. For instance, all letters TO be
transmitted to Russia would be forwarded by Rus
sian couriers, at certain periods, from the central
derots of Paris, Hamburg, and Berlin, thus avoid
ing the delay Of transportation through Germany
