COLONIZATION.

1.-The South ought to regard colonization
not only as the antagonist Of abolition, but as
calculated to promote greatly the consumption
OF her great staple, Cotton, now largely check
ed and actually diminished by the Immensely
increased consumption of silks and worstcds,
growing out OF our unwisely admitting them
duty free, and thus giving premium both to
the industry and raw materials ofrival and O.
ven hostile nations The natives of the vast
continent OF Africa, probably l50, ZOO, 600 in
number, are now mostly naked /; but they ex-
hlbit an intense anxiety to follow the fashions
OF our Colonists, and their first desire is to be
similarly clothed Ito hab white man fash. -
They now exhibit considerable skill for sava-
ges, In their manufactures; but their process
es are necessarily inartificial, slow and pain
fui.-Ieach them the use Of our looms and
supply them with cotton yarns, and each year
many millions of pounds would be exchang
ed with them for the rich and various pro-
ducts OF their eXuberant soil. Possessing the
raw material ourselves, and enjoying many
advantages over our INSCRIPTIONS rival, in
transforming 1t into yarn, we should rapidly
follow up this first advantage, by supplying
orr nelghbors of Mexico with millions more,
India, China, the Mediterranean region, and
some of the German States would gradually
follow, and Russia. who bears no love to Emo
land, would gladly transfer her custom to us.
-Brltaln now threatens to exclude every ar
tlcle OF our slave grown produce from her ports;
an influential society possessing great pecuni-
airy resources, are now organized to carry out
the design on national scae.-and as we
cannot afford to have eighty millions per an
mum cut Oil from our exports, we should, by
adopting the policy in question, obtain,
through our own industry and enterprise, in

MISCELLANY.
A STORY OF THE PALACE.

NOT very long ago young and beautiful
Siri was In the habit of passing and repassing
daily that part of st. JameS's Park which ey-
tends between the old and the new palace.
AS her immediate occupation was that of a
brodeuse, il is easy to infer that one or other of
the ladies therein attendant required her SER
vices. There is nothing very mysterious in
all that. But near a certain tree within the
said precincts, there was commonly seen at
about this period, young gentleman, with
very pale face, and an interesting abundance
OF dark shining hair. He was in the habit,
while reclining against the trunk aforesaid, of
exhibiting "leaden gaze that loves the

known to make the entire circuit of the Park

had recently become her guide.

The Baltimore Patriot gives the following

The Baltimore Patriot gives the following
advice touching the treatment of suspended
animation from submerson in water:
AS soon as the body is recovered, wine il
dry, and wrap it up in blankets, and place it
In some convenient place, with the head
slightly elevated; having free ventilation in
hot weather. and allowing no person to be
present except those employed in operating.
Let the head be wiped dry, and covered with
woilen cap. Several attendants should be
employed in rubbing the body with stimulat-
Ing articles, such as mustard, hot brandy. &c.
and bags of hot sand, hot bricks, &c. applied
to the feet and other parts of the body. While
this Is being done the mucus should be reno
we'd from the month and nostrils. and other
persons should be employed in inilatinu the
lungs, as follows Insert the pipe of com.
mon pair of bellows into one nostril, close the
other nostrli and the mouth, then blow eenfLv
and cause the air to escape by pressinp on
the chest, having first removed the finger from
the nostrll. This is to be continued for long
time, the object being to initiate the process
OF breathing. Let this plan of treatment be
pursued until the arrival of physician.

one OF them had brought OH circumstances sc
reduced, that it was deemed prudent to, as il
Is called, Pufher out with view to some en-.
pioyment. The eXertion of rather powerful
interest obtained her situation at Madame
Is and brought her, as we have seen.
INTO collision with certain members of the
itoyal Household. On one occasion, lady,
higher in rank than either of those we have
described, spentan evening with them, and
among other topics, discoursed of one which
was cumulative only of profound regret. By
her hrst husband she had had ono child, a
daughter, wkoat three years old, had been sto-
len from her -herinconsolable parents.
one described her as faired-haired, and of that
surprising beauty wherein tenderness is the
ch'ei charm; and moreover, as being marked
beneath the right shoulder with asscin1ue spot-
ted mole. An idea flashed across the minds
OF the two ladies; and on the following morn
ing, they ascertained to demonstration, that
Indiana was really the lost one!
NO time was wasted in bringing the parties
together-and such ameeting! but to describe

pealed to. The result it will not be at all
