! REMARKS OF r.. M. HARRISON,

On The Death Of JAMES HoBAN, Esq. before the
United Brothers Of Temperance, 81 association
No 1.
Brother President, and Brethren of Associa-
ton No - rise to announce the death of our
fellow-citizen and brother, JAMES HoBAN Esq.
He expired at his residence in this city, last eve
ming, about o'clock, leaving behind an afflicted
family, and large circle Of warm and devoted
friends Mr. Hoban was a member of the Wash
ington Bar, and had lately received the appoint
ment of Attorney of the United States, for this
District. AS an advocate, he had attained dis
nclion at the Bar, and was just reaping the fruits
Of his labors and well-spent life, when he was
summoned hence forever. M -
Within few years past, his mind became
considerably exercised upon the subject of intern
perance, and in contemplation of the evils il had
produced, he resolved to raise his potent voice in
behalf of that noble enterprise. Never had that
cause more faithful, more efficient, or more
eloquent friend. The father of our deceased
brother, was an honest emlgrant from Ireland
and one Of the most venerable inhabitants of this
city, and never was son more attached to the land
Of his sires; all her great names, he honored and
cherished their example stimulated him in his
career of honor and fame. He seemed to adopt
them as model; it was no wonder then, with
this strong and early prediction for Ireland, and
her great men, that he should have participated
in sentiments, so heartily, in all those popular
struggles, which have so often, and so long agi-
tated that oppressed land, that he should have
loved to plead her cause, and direct his burning
eloquence against the grasping power Of England
But friends and brothers he is gone, no more
shall we hear his thrilling tones within these
walls. We closed his eyes, in the place where
they first saw the light, in the midst of his
friends, and in the warm embrace Of his family
He has fallen to rest, like a laboring man, ia
tigued with the toll Of the day possessed Of
delicate frame, untitled for the sedentary labors
Of the bar, and the fatigue of incessant forensic
discussions, his physical energies gave way and
like noble vessel sinking under its full blown
canvas and ponderous freight, 50 sank our friend
to rest beneath the wave Of death. He was my
intimate personal friend through life. We were
school-mates and classmates, commencing, con-
tinuing our studies together at the same senina-
ry Of learning, and in all the stages, and through
all the vicissitudes of life, ever found him the
same confiding, amiable and honorable friend -
Honor TO his name, and unfading be the memory
ofhis virtues Aud may he who holds in his hands,
the issues Of life and death, enter the house
made desolate by his inscrutable providence, and
bind up the broken hearted, protect the atherless
and cause them all to feel, that ii is none other
than the Lord who chasteneth.

SUNRISE, AT PALERMO.

The city Of Palermo yet lay in the darkness
of an autunnal night, although the gloom was
giving place to the dusk approaching sunrise
A rosy blush tinged, the eastern sky and while
the busy city and its crowed harbor stlremained
in scarce lessened shade, ray of light shot ovel
them and glided up the summit Of the lofty
mountain Of Pellegrino on the west. Quickly il
spread lower down its wooded sides-and soon
it.tipped with radience the battlements of the
Torie di Baych, the broad keep of the Royal
palace of Alcazar and the lofty tower of the old
cathedral, besides the dusky harbor. Soon the
toprnost mass of the largest galleys in the port
caught the slanting sunbeams and flag, after
flag, and banner after banner, ofthe many vessels
that either traded with this emporium of Europe,
or fingered amid its pleasures on their way to or
from the Holy Land, fluttered gaily in the morn
ing sun. For awhile their heavy hulls and stor-
ed forecastles threw broad and prolonged sha-
dows upon the dark brown waves besides them;
but in another quarter Of an hour these had shrun
back to the western side Of the several vessels; a
sun ray glanced along the dancing waveles and
the whole Kalah and splendid bay Of Palermo
broke into azure spangles and flashed back smi-
ing welcome to the glorious giver Of It's beauty.

WOMEN SOLD AT AUCTION.

Occasionally we hear of a wife being carried to
the Smithfeld market, in England, for sale, but
the practice in England is falling into disuse. At
Babylon, (not on Long Island, but in Asia, there
is an annual fair for the sale of girls Of marriage
able age. The most beautiful are first put up,
and the man who bids the largest sum Of money
gains possession of her. The second in personal
appearance follows thebidders crafty themselves
with handsome wives accordingly to the depths
of their purses,-There are in Babylon some girls
for which no bid is offered yet these are also dis
posed Of, oprovidentare the Babylonans When
all the beautiful girls sold, the crier orders
the most deformed to stand up, and after he has
openly demanded who will marry her with a
small sum, she is at length adudged to the man
who is satisfied with the least, and in this man
ner the money arising from the sale Of the hand
some, serves as portions TO those who are of ei
ther disagreeable looks or have any other imper-
fections. slss ftt#

DRosPECTUs OF THE NEW LIBRARY

PROSPECTUS OF THE NEW LIBRARY
L OF LAW AND EQUITY, under the direc-
tion OF Francis J. Troubat, esq, of Philadelphia
Hon. Ellis Lewis, Of Lancaster; and Wilson Nc
Candless, Esq, of Pittsburgh.
This work contains the best productions of Eng
lish law authors, wthoutregard to priority of claim
on the part of any American publisher. Such books
are now notoriously too dear. The reason is, that
as fast as they appear, they become monopolies in
the hands of booksellers in the Atlantic cities I'M
der the plea of right, acquired by the addition Of
notes OF American decisions, the latter claim an n-
divided title to those works and set a burdeosome
price on them. The publishers of the work now
offered TO the profession throughout the Union will
not respect such titles, but will reprint the standard
British law books as fast as they emanate from the
London market. Should new editions ofthe works
OF such writers as Starltie, the Chittys, Stephen
and Archibold, appear they shall also be ncliided
and digests Of equity and law decisions works
which have been studiously kept out Of the Law
Library published at Philadelphia-s have A
place IN the proposed new one, together with every
new valuable English treatise on chancery or com
mon law.
| IsP This work will be issued monthly, in num-
bers OF l60 pages, printed on fine white paper, and
good new long primer type, at seven dollars per an
mum, payable half yearly.

WONDERS THE WEST,


II always affords us great pleasure to record
any thing coming under our notice, illustrative Of
the character and amazing resources Of the
mighty West. The following description Of a
pigeon roost from the Miners cypress Of Dubu-
que is Of that character. We hope it has attract
ed the attention of the Historical Society of New
York:
ssThere is an immense pigeon roost in the
forks Of the Maquoketa, in jackson county, such
as has never been seen in this country before. II
is three miles long and half a mile in width.
There can be no estimate made of their numbers
Their roostng places are about mile distant
from their nests and feeding places, being three
in number, each one covering section Of land
and in passing to and fro, they darken the all
with their numbers, break down young trees witt
their weight, and hundreds are killed by getting
entangledin thefalling limbsand branches, The
people kill them with clubs, and their noise is 81
loud that when gun is fired amongst them tn,
report connot be heard, and person can stand il
one place and shoot all day, the birds returning
as soon as you can load. They are building thei
nests, and the people are alarmed, lest they ma.
destroy their crops"
