We understand that Mr.. McLane's reception IN
England, public as well as private, has been most
gratifying to him, and complimentary to our gov
eminent and President; for after all, spite OF our
own democracy, the statesmen of England choose
TO regard our minister rather as an ambassador,
representing the person Of the sovereign Mr.. Nc
Lanes reception by the Queen herself is said to have
been most gracious, and accompanied with unusual
expressions Of respect for government and chief
magistrate. A letter from an intelligent English
man says that American things are looking better
and the people are recovering from the senseless
clamor which the fanatcism of politics had ere
aed in regard to American affairs.

Gentlemen We are not as yet disturbed in the
least by the war rumors which seem to be waking
you up in New Orleans. The Mexicans make no
showing on the frontier. The last accounts from
the Rio Grande represent that the few ragamuffns
lingering in that vicinity we're in miserable plight
We learn from Austin that the convention had
nearly concluded their labors, and would probably
adjourn before the close Of this month
Up to within a fortnight, we have had one Of the
finest seasons ever known in Texas. The crops
were never so promising; the corn, which exceeds
the crop Of any previous year, is already made; and
the crops of cotton especially in the river bottoms
were never better. In the uplands, however
it is beginning to suffer for want of rain, and must
fall short a good deal, IL it continues dry much
longer Here, and at Galveston, it is very dry,
having been without rain for two months. The
health Of both places, however, continues remarka-
bly, good. never knew it more healthy anywhere
than il has BEEN both here and at Galveston this
son. w.

THE CIRCULAR ONCE MORE.

TIE nNationa Intelligencer" makes a last, short,
and desperate rally against the circular, upon the
,,ouud that Mr.. McLane was specially called on
Congress to collect statistics about the tariff, and
Mr. Walker is not. As the power IN the Secreta'
:, n collect this information for his own use, or
er that of Congress, or for both, there can be no
doubt il is in him, whether Congress call upon him
- .vsrcise il or not. We have shown that Mr..
waller bns issued his circular in the very words of
AZ. Mel .ane himself and that Mr.. McLane framed
bs circular in that form, for the purpose Of collect
inc such information about manufactures as might
.s.st him in preparing "such tariff of duties up
on imports as may be best adapted to the advance
ment of the public interests" or TO use the words
81 the other resolution, adopted on the same day,
I.nnorv 10, 1927 he is to "obtain information as
10 the qualities and kinds Of the several articles
manufactured in the United States" &C., &C.; "and
~ the same before this house." &c together
,;,b such information as he may deem material,
and such suggestions as he may think useful,
with a view to the adjustment of the tariff"
Now, the present Secretary of the Treasury is
Collecting this same information, in similar
way, and for the same object In dischargng the du-
ties which belong to this important obiect-n making
out his annual report upon the revenue of the United
States and the present ar-adopted as it was, under
sucb peculiar and temporary circumstances
can the Secretary become well qualified to make his
report upon the tariff, without understanding the
condition of our manufacturers or, how could he
better understand this subject and therefore well
discharge his duties, by following the same course
which was pursued in 1892 No man can reasona-
bly doubt the power of the Secretary to collect this
information, and to make the report--whether a
previous call has been made upon him by Congress
or not-who understands the general powers with
which he is invested by his Office. Of these func,
lions, the following sketch has been handed to us;
and it comes from one who has not been brought
here by the present administration.

The Red Sea.


The author of Eohen, or Traces of Travel,
afier mentioning several speculatons as to the
point at which the Israetes passed the Red Sea,
one of the suppostions being that they had ira
vesed only a small creek at the northern extrem-
ity, near Suez, proceeds as ollows:-"Napoleon,
wnen at Suez, made an attempt TO follow the
Supposed cps of Moses, by passing the creek at
ae point, uut it seems, according TO the testmo-
|ny of hc people at Suez, that he and his horse
men managed the matter in u way more resem-
bling the failure of the Egyptians, than the sue
cess of the Israelites. According to the French
account, Napoleon got out Of the difficulty by
that wanior.like presence OF mind which served
him so well when the fate of nations depended
on the decisions of moment. He ordered his
horsemcn to disperse themselves in all direc-
tons, in order to multiply the chances of find
ing shallow water, and was thus enabled to dis
cover line by which he and his people were ex-
treated. The story told by the people at Sue2
is very different. They declare that Napoleon
parted from his horse, got thoroughly submerg
ed, and was only fshed out by the people OIL
shore. bahed twice at the point assigned &c
the Israeltes, and the second time that did SO
| chose the time Of low wafer, and tried 10 walk
across, but soon found myself out of my depth
or at least in water SO deep that could only adj
vance by swimming"

CHOICE SELECTIONS.
DON'T Fret!

This is world of ups and downs, crosses and
contradictions. Every day turns up something to
disturb the equanimity Of ones temper. But it
is worse than useless to fret. Freting is like
caustic applied to sore. 1t tinfames, bul never
cures. A fretlul spirit is never happy, and it
drives happiness from all other spirits with which
it comes in contact. We say, then, if the world
goes wrong, and it does that pretty often, don't
fret. If man cheats, and then laughs at you
for green one, make the best of it and keep
cool. Fretting will only make a bad thing
worse. Ifyou break your leg, or find your fa-
vorte seat at the Lyceum occupied, if The stage
upsets, or the cars leave you behind--;f the cook
spoils your dinner, or the thick k-headed servant
mis-deIvers an important message--if the ''dear
image of its beautiful mother" repays your Ca
resses by thrusting its tiny fingers into your plate
of soup and wiping them on your snow white
shirt bosom-if banks fail and States repudiate-
keep your temper. Repeat the alphabet, read
the hundred and nineteenth psalm. do and say
any thing "lovely and of good report" but as yor
value quetness of mind and the good temper o
others, don't fret. 1t is marvellous how mucl
good nature and patience will do towards curing
the ills to which health and spirit are heirs.

SIiDDed AWay.

There wns whisper around yesterday about
a runaway match and stolen marriage in which
somebody was concerned, but we mention no
names. Miss c. S., of Walnut street, thinking
she had arrived at a manageable age sweet
iiteen--took it into her head that she would en-
ter the holy state of mntrimony. Her parents
did not appear so willing as herself that she
should become married woman, and they for
babe the match. Like a good and obedient girl
she signfed desire to obey their behests, and
by studied course of conduct she so lued the
suspicious of the sold folks" that they thought
she had given the matter up. A visit was made
for a couple of days by the parents the coun
try, and the young lady was left al home Or
the next day after they had left, carriage drove
up to the door, a young gentleman entered tht
house, and soon after was observed to make
their appearance two large trunks and other ira
yelling paraphernalia, and then young lady
closely yelled, hanging on the arm of gentle
man. The trunks were put upon the carriage
the yong lady and her lover were put into II
and away they went in all haste to the Gretn
Green Of Ohio; and before this they are doubles

smith observed, that one man who travels through

his legs his compasses; and another who is whisk

The philosopher, therefore, will draw his est

possible his own situation, to multiply the point:

form the boxes that he comes amongst then
