The MONTHLY RosE.-We have been IA
vored with tile pcrusal Of The January and
February numbers Of the Monthly Rose,
Periodical sustainedby the present and former
members of The Albany Female Academy
This periodical is exceedingly neat in its lypo.
graphical execution. and its literary matter is
very crediable to the contributors. Several Of
the articles wonld reflect honor upon older and
more experienced writer's. Among other DO
etc effusiUns, will be found in The second nua.
ber, one entitled "Rlola." founded upon an In
dian tradition, Of which an account is given in
a book called "a year in the Piairics." This
little poem is choice in its diction, and has
musical flow in its metre, which is pleasing
TO the ear. Periodicals of character like the
above, must produce we ihink,a beneficial eli.
feet upon the contributors rs well as the read
ers. They serve TO expand the mind and TO
bring into action, the faculties of those who are
preparing to play their parts on Iifers great
stage We are not among them who believe
that devotion 10 literary pursuits, when united
to good common sense, will prove injurious to
woman. We think that certain degree of al.
tention paid to literature, will not unfit lady
for the ordinary and useful avocations of life.
Letters to her, as well as to one Of the sierner
sex will be delightful solace in the many
cares aud difficulties which she must necessarily
encounter. This will sweeten the cup Of bit.
terness which she is too often called to drink!
We would be pleased to see periodical some
what resembling The Monthly Rose," pub
iished in our own State. We know that there
is among our ladies' sufficient talent for this
purpose. We think that public patronage
would be sufficient TO sustain periodical Of
this character in one of pur cities. Some years
since, 1.-The Rose," under the care of Mrs.
Gilman, one of our most gifted ladies' in Char
lesion. charmed us with its sweetness and its
beauty. 1t has ceased TO bloom, and has with
cred away. But may we not see another flower
spring up in our soil. and. dffuse its fragrance
far and wide in our State.

The Globe appears to tske in high

man and the office, or rather between the
officer and The nation. Mr.. Polk, when
he made tha! most unfortunate, undigni>

oath Of Office. lie had prepared his re-
marks, if, indeed, they could have been

WAR WITH ENGLAND.

Judging from the present appearance of,hings,
it is BY many thought quite probable, indeed al
most certain, that war between the United
States nnd Great Britain is drawing close at
hand. The ownership of tho Oregon territory
is the matter ont of which it seems likely 10
grow. President Polk in his inaugural address
asserted that our right to i, was "clear and in
disputoble,' to which declaration the British
ministry have taken great ulnbra ge, and aver.
ring that it belongs TO them and not to US, de-
clare their intention to occupy i! at all cost ant
hazard.
Although very many may doubt the prudence
ot the President in making the above stated de-
c'aration at the time he did, we presume there
are but few citizens Of this Republic, who do
not hold the same doctr.ne-t!sat the Oregon ter
ritory belongs TO the United States, and tha, she
must maintain her rightto it in spite of Great
Britain or any other power.
IF quarrel arises between Mr.. Folks admin

will grow to fight, Mr. Polk will not lie recog-

RCAREEG AND AUEOEAs,


We have seldom seen more beau,i-
fal display Of AURORA BonEALrs, than
that which was visible in the Northern
or rather Northwestern portion Of the
ssy on Sunday night last, from ten to
eleven o'clock. They slreamed high
upwards in luminous jets, some pale and
Others red and glowing, fading away and
returning AT short intervals. The source
Of these lights, however c%iravagant may
have been the theories OF ancient philos-
ophers concerning them, is row univer-
sally, we believe, conceded by aslrono-
mers TO be the electricity Of the earth and
its atmosphere. While adniring those
beautiful sights occasioncdb by the electric
fluid, we were warned By certain hiLeous

ras.
During the afternoon three drunken
rowdies had been going through the
streets Of The town hellowing and cursiag,
and setting at defiance all dccsncy and

haviour in the streets, that they never be-
