:" Tllo MelropOlitan>"

Is he title of a neat and spirited week ly sheet, just commenced publication in the city of Montgomery, under the Ed i'o'ship of Hardy Herbert, Esq, a gentleman who is we'll known 10 the cit. zens of South Alabama, as man of worth and a consistent whig; and published by Henry A. Livingston, a young gentleman well known to the cit- izsns of Wetumpka, as an industrious and energetic, practical printer. We are confident, the pubic spiiit which so plenlifully abounds in Montgomery, will not let such men invest their talent and cipial without contributing reasonable share of patronage to their support.- May success attend the men, but not their principles.

UNION OF THE TWO SEAs.-We find in the. Courier des Etals Unis the plan of RAlroad to unite the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans through the State of Honduras:
 The distance from the port of Omoa, situated upon the Atlantic in the Gulf of Honduras, to the port of La Paz San Lorenzo, upon the Pacific, is hardly 800 mhes. or ihis distance, 90 miles, (from Omoa to Toioa) can be passed wiih steamers of a certain size. There will thus be only about 200 miles of Railroad.
 The cost of such a route is esiima ated at less than four millions of dollars, while Mir. N hi,neys project of road to Oregon would require for is comple- pIetion some sixty-fve millions. be. sides, the two oceans via Honduras would be within twelve hours of each other, while eight days would be cons stunned in passing from ore 10 the other by means of Mir. Whi!ney's intercom muncaIion.'
 The face of the country, according 10 the Courier's statement, is well calcula- ted for the easy consi, uction of road i; and, as if by providental arrangement, quarries of stone, mines of iron and other necessaries for such purpose, are scattered on the route.-- Tribune.

Value of Newspapers.

An idea may be formed of the value of newspapers-of some newspapers we mean-by the sub]oned state rhent. which shows what good will' may bring in the market, it having been decided that ihe good will of newspaper com, prises the chief pat of its value:
 sThe Philadelphia U. s. Gazette res gently sold for S45, 1000; one half of the Boston Atlas has been purchased al, a cost of S35,000;' the Boston Daily Ad>' vertiser is valued at $90000----@40,- 900 has been refused for one half of il : one third of the New York Courier sold, few months since for $30,00O';' and one quarter of the New York Tribhne' for $25 ,0O0. It will be seen therefore, that the editor is no, necessarily poor, lhougn the major part of that craft ap>' pertain 10 that viituous part of commit niiy. his pursuit redoiring peculiar tact and adaptation oi faculty.
 They who possess the gift sometimes make fortunes. They who do not pos. sess the gift, make debts and failures.

The Evening Hour.

BY THEODORE A. GocLD. How sweet it is, at close of day,
 To view the suns decling ray; While in the wide expanse of blue,
 Bright cloudlets aoat of every hue. O can the heart at such a time,
 Conceive one thought, of wrong, or crime1 No! for our better will has power,
 In the soft, solemn, even hour. At such a lime sweet Fancy fiings Around the soul, her gauzy wings; And transient visions, soit and fair,
 Float round us, in the silent air. Then ketrospecton will unroll
 Before lhe mind her ta-nished scroll; l he past, like spring. hath sun and shower, So Memory tells, at ey'ning hour. 'Tis then, the vilest heart may feel,
 Some heavenly impulse, round it steal-- Tanning 10 flame, the feeble spark
 or virtue in that bosom dark I'd choose, when life's strange dream past At such time to breathe my last Yielding, like some frail, fading flower, My breath, at evenlng's holy hour.

TENNESSEE CoRN.-The Charleston

TENNESSEE CoRN.-The Charleston Patriot 0! the 29lh ut. says--We have seen gentleman from Tennessee who arrived here yesterday with large lol of Tennessee Corn, being the first that has ever been brought to thIs city. The corn was placed on the ralI oad al Ddl> ton, depot about l6 miles from the Tennessee line on Friday last. The Atlantic and Western railroad has jusl been finished 10 Dalton, and almos: the first car ever loaded was the one with this corn. We welcome our Tennes- see friends 10 this market, ard trust that this is but the suspicious beginning of a trade that will be found emineniIy pro" fiiable to both parties.
 One word however, to the directors of the railroads on which this trade has to pass from Tennessee 10 Charleston. The gentleman who brought down this first load of corn complains heavily of the high amount of freight charged, which was 28c. per bnshel from Dalton. Al this rate it will he eimpossible for the corn dealers of Tennessee 10 continue the trade with ps. IL is therefore highly i'm poriant that the railroad companies should take this matter mic their serious consideration at once, before the people of Tennessee. whose trade is just begin. hing, become disheariened, and with dl sw from business which it is so much lhe interest of railroads 10 encourage,

PROBABLE DISCOVERY OF THE HIs>

PROBABLE DISCOVERY OF THE HIs> TORY OF FORMER RACE -Fhe Lower Sandusky (Ohio( Democrst states tha, about two miles from that village on laud known as the Kerr tract," there is an ancient mound, circular at the base, about 39 feet in diameter, rising only to a point, which is surmounted by an oak

Courtesy a means of Success.

Uncourteous habits have prevented many mans success in life. Hasty
 hot brained, care-for.nobody individuals often plunge themselves into difficulties in consequence of their clownish, arro> gant, or overbearing manners, of rude or ungenilemanly language, though it may be thoughtlessly expressed. It IS often not the great, bu, the little acts of inciviliy that are treasured up and re- membeTed. Great men have usually had occasion to attribrte their success in life 10 their uniform courtesy. Wash ing.on was always distinguished for courtesy of manner, as tie aneedo,e of his politely returning the bow of the negro slave beautifully illustrates. Boys whatever be your station in life, do moi be fearful, but he courteous-bc polite be affable. The tradesman ho has the politics, clerks does the largest business

Mexican Names.

One oi the troubles of those who reaC the newspapers at present is 10 know how 10 pronounce the frequently recur, ring names of places and persons ir Mexico. As that mass of absurdies and contradictions called English or biography has no systematic and scien, tific mode of representing sounds, it is very difficult 10 convey, except orally the pronunciation of foreign words in which the letters have a different force from any that English ears are familiar with. If there is anything which shows the need of correct sy stem Of Phono
 type, in which each letter shall always stand for one sound only, it is the very fact we are speaking of. Foreign words, if printed phonotilica'iy, Ina, is exactly as they are sounded, could always be pronounced correctly by those who had never seen or heard them before.
 For the benefit of our readers, We copy from the Cincinnati Com mercial with some slight corrections, the follow ing list of Mexican names. and the pro nunciation of them as nearly as It can be given. We have endeayored 10 in dicatt the emphatic syllables by mark ing them with an accent thIs has nolh, ing to do with the sound which we have tried to show in another and very clum sy way. IL Is to be noticed that Mexi- co, in common with other Spanish Col onies, has departed very greatly from the pure pronunciation of the language

JudsOm Female Institute.

The annual examination O. ihe pu, pills of the Judson, closed or last Thurs> day evening. Concerts were given by Mr. Chase and the ladies of the Insti- ute, in the Baptist Church, on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. It were an act of superrel ogauon to speak in terms of praise of Judscn Concert. On Thurs day night the exercises of tho Gradua. ting class, reading essays. conferring diplomas, &c. took place al the church. The dense crowd and excessive heat rendered il less agreeable than we have l seen il on former occasions. The es~ says of the young ladies, struck us as belng a'kabIy good Without ex. ception they were beautifully written chasie and elegant in style, entTelY free from the profusion of metaphor which marks the productions of most young persons of both sexes ; they also display. ed variety of knowledge, strength and an acuteness of reasoning, and a familiarity with general principles which we confess we were not prepared to hear, and winch would actually have done credit to a practiced and popular writer.
 The exercises were concluded by the singing of Parting Hymn," written for the occasion, by our friend and fel- ow-,ownsman, Chas. Grenrell, Esq in his happiest strain.
