A Hint TO Girls. We have always con
sidered !, an unerrng sign Of innate vulgar
ily, when we hear ladies', take particular
pains to impress us with an idea OF their
ignorance of all domestic matters, save sew

delicate hands. Ladies by some curious
kind Of hocus pocus, have 90, il into their
heads that the beet way to catch husband
is TO show how profoundly capable they are
of doing nothing for his comfort. Fright.
ening a piano into fits, or numbering the
kings French may be good bait for Ger.

to cultivate those accomplishments which
make good wife.

Vs. The following article from the Ra-
loigh Register of the ist inst, contains the
latest information from the Legislature:
STATE LEGISLATURE.
No expectation is entertained, so far as
we can collect public sentiment, that the
Legislature viii adjourn ca Monday next,
though the Senate have refused by u de-
cided majority 10 rescind the Resolution.
Nothing definite has been done yet, on
the subject ofthe Raleigh aud Castor Road.
The bill to alter the time Of holding our
State Elections to the first Thursday OF
August, and to make the time uniform in
every County, has passed the Senate, and
is therefore, a law. The Wings will not,
hereafter, have the Loco-foco majorities
from Edgecomb, Nash and Wayne, com.
ing in upon them in advance, discouraging
the wavering, and inspiring the doubtful
with delusiYe confidence; but every cleo
ton will be determined on lis own merits.
We hope the Wings will take time to
pass the Resolutions submitted by that
staunch Republican, Gen. j. o. *. Viii
liams, touching the wrongs of our sister
State, New Jersey. Such an expression
ofopinon is due to that DISTINGUISHED mem
beers Of the Union, and to the principles Of
the Wing party.
In the House Of Commons, yesterday,
Resolutions were adopted requesting our
Senators and Representatives in Congress,
to urge upon the attention of that body the
expediency of e-opening the Inlet at Nag's
Head, and the justice of relnunerating the
claimants for Spoliations committed on
our Citizens by The French Nation, ante
rior TO 1900. Most of the Administration
men voted against the Mays Head Rssolu-
ton for reasons, no doubt satisfactory to
themselves. A motion TO strike out the
word request and insert instruct, gave rise
TO very spirited aud exciting debate !;
BIT, il was finally pegatiyed BY decided
vote.

The ship Lion, Captain Martin, arrived
at Newport the oath ult. in the evening.
She left Macao 10th July, bound for New
York, but put into Newport for supplies
and repairs of sails and rigging.
The intelligence by this arrival is seven
days later. The ships Adelaide and Mer.
chant, bound to the United States, were
detained by the blockading fleet, and Ia
ken to Cap-sing Moon Anchorage, expect
ing soon to be released. The ship Wash,

edit was stated these vessels had laden
cargoes a. Whampoa, after the blockade
was notified. The Panama was at Nhum-
poa, and would remain or come ont with
out cargo.
The Chinese were in high spirits, not
fearing Admiral Elliot or his ships of war.
The opinion Of foreigners at Macao
seemed to be changing with respect to the
success Of the British, and it was thought
by marv that some two or three years
would be spent in making captures along
the coast, which would have little effect on
the Empire at largo, and after such de-
monstrations, the hostile force would with
draw, and leave the Chinese at liberty to
again resume trade with foreigners. The
British had captnred a number Of Chinese
iunks, and taken them to Cap-sing Moon,
letting the Chinese crews 90 at large.

Wing we have been, Wing we are, aud
Whig we intend to be. All our energies
will be excrted to maintoia the high and
noble stand, which the Wing Party now
occupy before the world. When adyer-
sity and despair seemed our lot; when the
uuited cxertions Of that rec.-ies party,
'yclept the Democratic, threatened TO de-
stroy and engulph our liberties, we strug
gled on with you, regardless of the fear.

day has dawned upon our country. The
dark and oninous clond, that loomcd hea.
Willy over the political horizon, has rolled
away, and the sun Of our prosperity, a.
gain beams in his spleudor. But, let US
remember, that eternal vigilance" is the
only safeguard Of liberty. We will oppose
every encroachment Of power, whether by
the Executive or by Congress. We adj
hero to the Constitution, believing that it
is the only landmark BY which the Ship Of
State can be guided from the shoals Of mon
archy, and the whirlpool of despotism.--
With regard to our course; we will be in.

Of men. Onward is our watch-word, anG
onward We will, regardless of the obstruc
tons around US. If we do not please all
We will regret IL; but one thing is certain

So Mr. Benton introduced bill in the
Senate to lay tax on bank notes and 9th

and Territories. Mr.. B. delivered long
speech in its favor. The question was at
once raised whether revenue bill, as this
was, could be received, as the Constitution
provides that all revenue bills shall origi
nate in the House. 1t was finally decided,
% to ls, that the bill should not be re-
ceived. After some further debate, Mr..
Benton requested leave to withdraw II,
which was granted. Mr.. B. gave notice
subsequently that he would ask leave to

10 Another year has rolled away, and
with it, thousands Of beings whose hearts
were warm with lile's purple current, have
passed to the grave 10 silence. Their
places are now vacant. Many 10 the fresh.
ness of youth and innocence, while gazing
on the bright and happy vista before them,
have felt the icy hand of death. Many
aged, whose whitcned locks spoke Of three
score years and ten, are seen no more -
Their eyes have closed in death and their
voices are hushed forever Before me

traces Of sorrow. He, the gallant and
loved, is alone A few short months ago,

eye that beamed in tenderness upon him.
Sweet was the voice that whispered in his
ear its words of love, but alas like a
dream she passed away And why looks
that mother 50 sadly Her prattling child
has ceased its note Of fondness upon her
bosom il too has gone She dreams, and
fondly clasps it to her heart; perhaps she
hears it call her mother; its little check
she then bedews with kisses, but oh she
awakos, no child is there away in yon.

PROSPECTUS.

The Publishers of THE New York TRIBUNE,
encouraged by the generous patronage and hearty
approval which has been extended to their Daily
paper -siRCe its establishment and which has al
ready rendered it the second in point of circulation
in the city, will publish, on and after Saturday
next, WEEKLY edition. on sheet Of mammoth
size, excluding all matter Of local or transitory
interest and calculated mainly for country circula-
ton.
The TRIBUNE- whether in its Daily or Weekly
editon-will be what its name imports--an un-
flinching supported Of the Peoples Rights and
Interests in stern hostility to the err0rsof super
fetal theorists, the influences of unjust or imper-
feet legislation, and the schemes and sophistres
of self-seeking demagogues. 1t will strenuously
advocate the Protection of American Industry
against the grasping and to us blighting policy
OF European. Governments, and the UNEQUAL com :
petition which they force upon us, ms also against
the present depressing system of State Prison La
Dor; il will ADVOCATE the restoration of sound
and uniform NATIONAL CURRENCY; and urge dis
Greet but determined prosecution Of Internal In
provement. The Retrenchment, wherever practi-
cable OF Government Expenditures and of Exec
utiVe Patronage, will be zealously urged In short
this paper will faithfully maintain and earnestly
advocate the Principles and Measures which the
People approved in devolvng on Wing Statesmen
the conduct Of their Government
but shldll poruon, however, of its columns
will be devoted to purely Political discussions
The proceedings Of Congress will be carefully re-
corded; the Foreign and Domestic Intelligence ear
ly and ucldy presented; and whatever shall appear
calculated to promote Morality, maintain Social
Order, extend the blessings of Education, or in
any way subserve the great cause of Human Pro-
gress TO ultimate Virtue Liberty and Happiness,
will find place in our columns.
THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE will be published every
Saturday morning in Quarto form on very large
imperial sheet. (Sl by AZ inches) and afforded to
Subscribers at TWO DOLLARS year. Six cop
les will be forwarded year for Ten Dollars,
Ten copies for Fifteen Dollars, and any larger
number in the latter proportion. Payment in id
vance will be invariably required, and the paper
