VERY LATE FROM CALIFORNIA.
We have been favored with the perusa Of
a private letter from an officer OF the navy,
cd at Monterey, in California, the ,e,h
Juiy last, being nearly two months later
than the dates brought by Gen. kearny.
This letter came down through Mexico 10
Vera Cruz, anu thence 10 the U. States.
The United States ship Warren and tho
store ship Erie, were q: Monterey and
were The only vessels OF war in that port.
The Independence left Monterey few days
before for San Francisco to meet Comma.

umbus, Congaess and Dale. The Colum-
bus was TO sail on the 2ls,, for u. States,
Com. Shubrick having relieved Com. Biddle
n commsnd OF the squadron.
Com. Stockton had left tor the United
L,ates by the overland route.
The U. S. ship Portsmouth was engaged
in blockading The por, of Maza,lan. The
| Preble was al Acapulco, and the Cyane had
gone to the Sandwich Islands, and was ex-
| pected back by the LIST September. Tho
officers and crew of the Warren will prob
ably return home in the Erie or the Ports

Little or nothing had been accomplished
by the squadron under The command OF
Com. Blddle, who had not been near the

important places on the coast, which could
have been easily taken, but had remained
with mos. OF his squadron a. Monterey or

The policy he was pursuing was mys'

AGyiCcs to Husbands.

We have essayed to write the following ar
ticle many times-but fearing that we might be
accused Of giving said and comfort" to the en-
emy, we have foreborne. We know not who
is the author, but it must have been some warm
hearted, sensible and disinterested Old Bache-
lor, whose experience and observation have led
him to just appreciation of the relative posi-
tons of "husband and wife, "a and, who not be-
ing allied to either, can write in a common
sense way of the duties of the former, and not
be open to the objection of being directly in the
interest of the latter. We expect, however
as nothing is done with disinserested motives
nowadays, so say some folks, but we don't
believe ito receive vote of thanks from the
red-if there are any who cherish such expec-
tations-for its reproduction. And if there are
any husbands who think the article means them,
it probably does-that's all-and we trust they
may read it, and ponder upon the truths witch IT
contains, and become better, wiser and happier
in their domestic relations:
Walking the other day with valued friend
who had been confined week or two by sick
ness to his rom, he remarked that husband
might learn good lesson by being confined
occasionally to his house, by ha 'ing in.this way
an opportunity of witnessing the cares and
never-endng tolls of his wife, whose burthen,
duties, and patient endurance he might never
have otherwise understood. There is great
deal in this thought, perhaps enough for an
editorial" Men, especially young men, are
called by their business during the day mostly
away from home, returning only at the hours
for meals, and as they then see nearly the same
routine of duty, they begin TO think it is their
own lot to perform all the drudgery, and to be
exercised with all the weight of care and re-
sponsibity. But such man has got very
wrong view of the case; he needs an opportu-
nity for more extended observation, and it is
perhaps for this very reason that kind Provi-
dence arrests him bv sickness, that he may learn

Canning's Knifc-grinacr.

"Story, God bless you have none to tell
SIR" These words are SO often quoted, or at
least alluded to- that they may be said to have
become proyerbial yet thousands, probably,
even OF those who use them, do not know where
they belong. or in what connection they were
originally written. The line is a quotation
from burlesque, written by George Canning,
when the hatred of Revolutionary France was
most vlrulent in England, among the mass of
the people, though ultra-liberal, not to say re-
evolutionary, principles were already protested
and disseminated by many active proselytes.-
The buresque, published in high tory period
lcal called the Anti-Jaccbn, was aimed at a
poem then recently written by Southev-before
ne was made poet lauregte-in which vehe-
ment stress was LAID upon the defective organ
lzatlon of society, as the main cause of individ-
ual sorrows and sufferings We quote one of
the stanzas, merely to show the kind of metre
in which it was written, the burlesque being
faithful copy in this particular:-
"Co!d the night wind drifting fast the snow fell
Wide were the downs, and shelferless and naked,
When poor wanderer struggled on her Journey,
Weary and way SORE"
The bnresque was entitled, "The Friend of
Humanity and the Knife grinder" and ran
thus:--
FRIEND OF HUMANITY.
II edy Knife grnder.-whither are you going?
Rough is your road; your wheel is out of order;
Bleak blows the bast-your hat has got hole in t,
So have your breeches
Weary Knife grinder little think the proud ones,
Who in their coaches, roll along the turn pike
Road, what hard work tits, crying all day, knives
Scissors to grind or
Tell me knife grinder how came YOU to grind knives
Did some rich man tyrannicallv use vou7
Was it the squire, or parson of the parish
Or the attorney?
Was it the squire, for killing of his game? or
Covetous parson, for his tythes dstraining?
Or roguish lawyer, made you lose YOUR little,
All in lawsuit
Have you not read, the rights ofman by Tom Paine?
Drops OF compassion tremble on my eyelids,
Ready TO fall you have told YOUR
PItiful story.

little laughter in its day, and was by no means
an inefficient agency of the tories in the fierce
political dissensions of the times.
