sC@ We copy from the Dublin g nation" the
following beautiful tribute 10 the memory of
man who ever found friend in the Irishman =
GENERAL JACKSON.

working. upright unaffected man, was AN
DREW JACKSON. He rescued his country from
aliens and Jobbers. He found it beset with diff
cnItles-he sent the foreigner bowling from his
borders and the gambler from its capitol. We
honored much his valor his sagacity, and his I'M
boasting patriolism-we honored him as man
and true citizen nor can his uniform concern
for Ireland be forgotten, while our struggle for
religion and national liberty is remembered. He
was not an lrishman. Though the son of Irish
peasants, he was born in and lived, fought, and
thought for America; considered hmselfa Ameri-
can, and was so in character, interests and feel
lngs. His claims for the gratitude and regret of
ireland are far higher than any ties of blood could
glve-he was Ireland's staunch unbought friend
and one of the most useful, If not the most snowy
of the soldiers of freedom in our age. He has
gone where Miltiades and Epaminondas, Tell
and Washington, Bruce and Tone are gone be-
fore him. Proud be the flight of Americas Ea-
gle over his tomb May never foeman to his
republic plant standard there May the soil
that holds him never lack as honest President,
and as successful general!

KISSING.

The sweetness of kissing depends with us all
together on the slyness of the thing. Take our
word for it, the stolen draughts are most delicious
We would rather be "cut up into cat fish bait"
than kiss girl in company Besides, there is
great danger in the promscuous kissing which is
INDUCED in at parties. Ten TO one if your lips do
not, at the very moment after they have been re-
yelling in the most ecstatic enjoyment, come pop
upon those of some old maid, SO sour that YOU cam
not get the taste of the bitter out of your mouth
for week. MOI MOI kissing in public is not
the way to manage the thing it DESTROYS the
reverence with which man delights to array the
wondrous sex, and none but bunger will resort
toit you wish to enjoy kiss in all its raci-
Mesa kiss at once delicate, airy and spirituele,
yet one that will cause every pulse in your body
to thrill with ecstacy-get your little charmer in
to corner of a sofa, before cozy fire of freez-
ing nlght-steal your arm round her waist-tako
her hand gently in your own-and then drawing

REMARKABLE TREE.-There is an oak of
magnificent dimensions standing in Sherwood
forest, between Nottingham and Mansfield, Eng,
whose history is as follows:
The estate is that, now universally known as
Newstead. Lord Byron's grandfather being much
embarrassed, ordered all the trees that were sale
cable on the domain, TO be cut down. A certain Mr..
oodsworth, wealthy attorney, had often passed
and observed this tree and on hearing of his Lord
ships intention, went himself to Newstead, and
offered Lord Byron ESQ (S244) for the tree;
legal agreement was speedily made, by which
neither the present nor any future proprietor of
Newsiead. should have any right TO cut down the
tree When it died, the land overshadowed by
1t, was to revert to the Newsead estate The
agreement is regularly entered in the estate deeds
IL is probably the only tree on earth, that nobody
mas right to cut down. The tree is now pre-
served with great care. Its branches measure
EUO ieet in circumference, its trunk four feet from
| the ground, thirteen feet.

From Texas.

The slOop Cutter, days from Galveston,
arrived at this port yesterday. We receiV.
ed no letters or papers, but from a gentle
man who came passenger on the Gutter, we
learn that President Jones had issued a pro-
cIdmafiOn GnnulLing the recognition of Gen
Duff Green as American Consul at Gal
UeStOn! The President, we understand,
states that the honor and interests of the
nation imperatiVely demand such course.
The cause Of the Aare.up between Pre-
sident Jones and Gen. Green, we understand
to have originated in most insolent attempt
on the part of Green to dictate to the Presi-
dent. The latter gently insinuated that
when he desired Gen. Green's advice he
would solicit it. This answer it seems
raised Green's dander, wheFeupOn, it is said
he had the indeicacy and want of good
sense to threaten the Executive, and insin.
uated that he would make the Executive
Office very unpleasant resting place for his
Excellency the President.
Such conduct could lead but to one result.
The President very properly ordered Green
from bis presence, and cut short his official
functions. This is pretty piece Of bung-
ling, and altogether worthy Of the miserable
administration which now governs the Coun-
try. shannon and Green Par mobile fra

COTTON.-In our review of Saturday morning
last, we observed that there had been very ac-
tive demand for Cotton during the week preced-
ing, and that prices had, in consequence, improv-
ed from to &C.. Since then buyers have shown
much less disposition TO operate, and the mark ct
has experienced heavy appearance, contrasting
singularly with the animated aspect which it bore
lasI week. The transactions on Saturday amount
ed to about $500 bales, at former prices On
Monday the enquiry was extremely limited, and
only I,500 bales were disposed of in small lots.
Yesterday holders relaxed somewhat in theiI de-
mands, which induced few purchasers to come
forward, and the sales comprised about 1900 bales
at slight decline on the full prices paid towards
the close of last week. For the present, however,
we retain our quotations. The total business Of
the past three days has reached $500 bales.
JAN. l6.-The Cotton market does not exhibit
much animation, and buyers are not disposed to
operate, unless in small quantities. The business
yesterday reached to about 1900 bales, at prices
corresponding with our quotations, although, in
mos: instances, purchasers have q slight Sdvan-
tage.

charges preferred against him, by vote of

has many advocates among the people Of his

harshly treated. The offences with which
he was charged were, improper freedoms
taken with the females of his diocese, often
with the wives of the clergy, and in one in>

tence pronounced upon Bishop OnderdOnk
was, indefinite suspension from all the off,
