NAUTICAL AND MERCANTILE

FlHE subscribers beg leave to inform the citizens
L of Wayne and the adjoining counties. that
they have opened an English, Classical Mercan-
tile and Mathematical School, in the town of
GoldsGOrough.
The Senior instructor, Mr.. JOHN Robinson. is
practical and experienced Teacher, having for
the last ten years stood at the head of his profess
sion ih Europe, as the many 1attering testimonials
in his possession will show. William Robinson
flaIters himself that he is already favoraby known
in this region, as a teacher who has always been
faithful III the discharge of duty and successful 10
imparting instruction and would, therefore throw
himself upon his old patrons OF Wayne. Lenoir,
and Ed gecombe-in which counties he has spent
the last nine years-for q share of that patronage
which they always so cheerfuIy bestowed upon
him.
Mr. John Robinson will superintend the Eng,
fish, Mercantile, and Mathematical department,
and give instruction in the Italian and French
languages-aisO in ms: rumental music, if requir-
ed. Vocal music will constitute part OF the daily
exercises of the pupils
Mr. William Robinson will superincnd the
Classical department.
They have built and fitted up new School
Room, and hope that their effort to establish a
School of high literary merit in this rising and
f1Ourlshing town, will not be in vain. They com
mence it individual enterprise, and under the
most discouraging circumstances and rely upon
the merits of the Institution alone for support
The School is now in operation, and those who
wish to avail themselves of its advantages are re-
quested TO make no delay in entering, that the
classes may be properly and advantageously
ganzed.

THE PACK OF CARDS.

A nobleman in the city of London, who
kept great number of servants, reposed con-
siderable confidence in one of them, which eX-
cited jealousy in the others who, in order
to prejudice their master against him, accused
HIM OF being notorious gamester. Jack was
called up and Intercepted closely; but he de-
MED the fact, al the same time declaring that
he had never played card in his life. To be
more fully convinced, the gentleman ordered
him to be searched !; when behold, pack OF
cards was found in his pocket Highly in
censed at Jacks want of veracity, the noble
man demanded, in rage, how he dared per-
sist in an untruth
My lord,' replied he, 6 certainly do not
know the meaning of a card; the bundle in
my pocket is my almanac
Your almanac, indeed then desire you
will prove it,
Well, sir, | will begin. There are four
suits in the pack, that intmates the four quar-
tiers in the year as there are thirteen cards in
each suit, so there are thirteen weeks in a
quarter. There are also the same number oil
lunatIons; the twelve signs of the zodiac
through which the sun steers his durnal course
in one year. There are fifty-two cards in a
pack that directly answers to the number OF
weeks in year. Examine them more min
utely, and you will find three hundred and
sixty-f five spots, as many as there are days r
the year. multiply these by twentyfour anc
sixty, and you will have the exact number o.
hours and minutes in year Thus, sir,
hope | have convinced yon that this IS my al
manac; and by your or1ship's permission
will prove it is my prayer book also. | looE
upon the four suits as the four prevailing leli
gions: Christianity, Judaism, Mahomedanism
and Paganism the twelve court cards remint
me of the twelve patriarch5 from whom spran;
the twelve tribes Of Israel; the twelve Apps
ties, and the twelve articles of the Christian
faith. The king reminds me of the allegiance
due TO his majesty. The queen Of the sane
to her majesty. The ten brings TO my recoi-
lection the ten cities in the plans OF oodon
and Gomorrah, destroyed by hre ana oflns'one
from heaven; the ten plaques OF Egypt Inc
ten commandments the ten tribes cut OH f0I
their vice. The nine reminds me OF the nine
muses. the nine noble orders among men,
The eiobt reminds me of the eight beatitudes
the eight attitudes; the eight persons saved If

The seven reminds me of the seven admins

Taylor Opposed to Slavery Ertension.-
There can be no doubt about Gen. Taylor be-
ing opposed 10 the extension of slavery. His
letters 10 Gen. Gaines and the Cincinnati Sig
nal are proof of this fact. That he lives in
slave State, is no argument that he wishes lis
extension. Thousands Of the citizens Of the
south believe slavery to be wrong in every as
pect in which it can be viewed.
The following from the Philadelphia News
is additional evidence on this subject:
can intelligent friend. lately from Baton
Rouge, La, called at our Office the other day,
and gave a general outline of the appear
ance and character of Gen. Taylor. He said
that the General, in person, bears a near re-
sembance TO Gen. Markle, of Westmoreland,
being strongly built, well proPoItIoned man,
of medium height, and without any tendency
to corpulency that he is plain in his apparel,
and exceedingly bland and Prepossessing in
his manners that he is a man of sound COM
mon sense, and possesses most dscrimna-
ting and correct judgment, and evinces deep
reflection and much research in regard to all
general subjects, especially those Of practi-
cal character. He had frequent conversations
with him on the subject of slavery, and was
pleased 10 find that he was opposed to It's ex-
tension, and that he had always been opposed
TO the acquisition or conquest of any part of
Mexico. He spoke of Gen. Taylors friends
in Mississippi and Louisiana, as being for the
greater part confined TO The sugar planters,
who are wings and sound tariff men, while
the only opposition he will meet with in these
States. will be from the cotton planters. who
are locofocos and free-traders. What makes
this information the more reliable, are the cir
cumstances that it comes from gentleman OF
acute observation, high sense of honor, infex-
IDLE integrity. and one of the most indomitabe
wings in the country"
