BUSINESS PICTURE.-"A Great Coa1,-

started in Cincinnati, gives the following
picture of the business of that city:
Here, at the landing-lying side bv

Pennsylvania, Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio,
Illinois, Missouri, Indiana Tennessee. Iowa,
Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana -
Old States and new States-slave States
and free States--northern States aud south
ern States-are all here, lying quietly to-
gether, in the friendly embraces of CON-
merce. But, look again; from what coun-
tries came these cargoes of merchandise and
produce! Is it not one and the same coun-
try! Here are the products of the Ale
ghanies-the grain of Ohio-the salt Of
IN irginia-the tobacco of Kentucky-thc
lead of Missouri-the iron of Tennessee
the cotton Of Mississippi ard Arkansas
the sugar and molasses of Louisiana, and
the rice of the Carolinas, AID. what are
there returned for them! Bacon for the
negroes-sugar.mills for the planter-bread

RoME-ItS Appearance.-The cores
pondent of the Albany Evening journal
writes thus:
Rome, per SC, is apparently less ancint
in its aspects than many cities of the Cm-
tinent less so, even than York, Durham,
Salisbury, Chester. &c, in England :
Throughout Rome, as it stands, to the ve
of stranger, the modern predominaes
over the ancient. At first, you see evry
body and every thing looking and acting
just as every thing and every body looks
and acts elsewhere. Indeed some of IS
antiquities lack the features that usually
mark the progress of time. st. Peters,
though erected before America was disc0-
cred, looks brighter than st. Paul's Churh,
in Broadway. In the first view of Rome,
therefore. there is disappointment. Dicl-
ems, who experienced it, says, after his flst
view of the city, that ''it was not the Rome
he expected to find, degraded and fallel,
and lying asleep in the Sun, among a hep
of ruins; and confess to have gone to bod
that night with a very considerably quencl-
ed enthusiasm.
But these are first impressions only
They soon fade away; and the Rome that
was as soon comes up in its greatness and
grandeur to fill and impress both the eyel
and the mind. You have only to ascend
the Pincian, the Capitoline, OF the Quirinal
Hills, and look off upon the Coliseum, the
Palace of the Caesars, the Castle of st. An
gelo, the Baths of Caracalla, the Panthe-
on, the Forum, &c, to catch something of
the spirit of Rome, in her days of triumph
and glory.

ABD-EL-KADER.-An amusing anecdote
is related of this illustrious Arabian chief.
who, to the eternal disgrace of France, is
still prisoner of State at Amboise. He
lately employed a competent person to give
his four children lessons in writing. The
teacher filled his task in the most exempla-
ry manner, treating his little pupils with
the utmost kindness. The brave father, be-
ing very grateful. bethought him of making
the teacher present as mark of his es-
TEEN, and, after much cogtation, concluded
to give him one of his five Arabian wives.
The Frenchman in vain endeavored to ex-
plain that he already had wife, and that
European law only allowed him one ADD
El-Kader thought the writing master wish
ed to be ceremonious, and persisted most
perseveringly in his offer, stating, in cour-
teous manner, that he would still have four
wives left-enough in the name of Allah,
for a poor prisoner. The matter ended
and the writing master was rescued from
this ludlcrous dilemma by his wife-the
original, European one-carrying him off
from the chiefs presence, and prohibiting
him from ever returning there

AN OFFICER OF THE ANTI-SLAvERY So

AN OFFICER OF THE ANTI-SLAvERY So
CIETY CONVICTED OF CoTNNG-The New
York correspondent Of the Washington
Union, in his letter of the 18th inst says
GA trial lately had in the United States
District Court for this city, before Judge
Judson, tends to show where at least part
of the money comes from that supports the
underground railroad and other contrivan-
ces by which the Anti-Slavery Society carry
on their Vaccinations against the peace and
prosperity of the South. Mr.. VIM. John
son, the treasurer we believe--at all events,
one of the leading oficers-of the Anti
slavery Society, was arraigned, tried and found
guilty of the offence Of coming and passing
counterfeit money. 1t appears that this
worthy, who was an English abolition ennis
sary, had for some years been in the habit
of manufacturing large quantities of spuri-
Gus coin-an occupation for which his orig
inai calling as silver worker particular
ly qualified him. He joined church,
and soon took high rank in his association
for spiriting away foreign slaves. Money
speedily became plenty in the Golfers of the
kidnappers, and Mr. johnson, thinking
doubtless that he was doing God and him.
self service at the same time, waxed bolder
and more reckless in his nefarious pursuits
But the eye of justice was upon him, and its
hand eventually grasped him. He proved a
most excellent character, but in vain. Nei-
ther his exemplary piety, his philanthropy,
nor his philosophy, could save him. The
evidence Of his guilt was irresistible he
was convicted, and sent for term of years
to the State prison. We condole with the
Anti-Slavery Society upon their loss of such
a valuable officer and such a worthy mem
ber of this respectable fraternity"
