Venice, Mr.. Greely says, in one of his foreign
letters, is full of deserted palaces, which, though
of spacious dimensions and of the finest marble,
may be bought for less than the cost of an
brick house in the upper part of New York. The
Duchess de Beri, mother of the Bourbon Pretend
er to the throne of France, has bought one of
these and generally inhabts it; the Rothschilds
own another; the dancer Taglioni, it is said, owns
four, and so on.-Cheap as they are, they are a
poorer speculation than corner lots in itho-
graphic city in Nebraska or Oregon.

CAPE OF Coon HoPE.-Her Majesty's steame
Blrkenhead arrived at Plymouth on the 10Th ult.
with intelligence from the Cape of Good Hope to
the 18th September. The news was very discour-
aging to the English cabinet. The hostile Caffres
SO far from being subdued, continued to disturb
the frontier and Sir Harry Smith, the Commander
in-chief had found it necessary to concentrate his
efforts In that direction. Additional troops to the
number of 10000, would it was said, be required
to restore peace in the affected districts Several
chiefs hitherto NEUTRAL had announced their deter
mination to take part with the enemy, and had
sent messages to many other chieftains, urging
them to join the party and unite with the Cal
kas and Basutors in driving the white men into
the sea. The British troops had suffered a severe
repulse near the Fish River Bush, and the Caffres
were committing great depredations in the colony.
Large reinforcements were to be sent out immedi-
ately; but it was the general impression that a
great expenditure of blood and treasure would be
necessary to terminate the war.

MIsTAKE OF THE BoYs.-Boys make a sad mis-
take when they think they appear manly because
they chew tobacco, or smoke segars, or use pro-
fame language. They are wonderfully mistaken if
they suppose anybody admires them for such things
Boys make great mistake by ridiculing the
poor, the defomed, the lame, and the blind. No
body can possibly think much of such persons
On the contrary, when they show pity and sorrow
for the unfortunate when they show good heart,
and if they should ever be unfortunate themselves,
they viii find friends enough to pity and help them.

Oh If the love of mingled souls
Shall pass the mighty deep,
And in the army Death enrolls
Its ceaseless vigils keep;
If parted hearts again unite,
Beyond the swelling tide,
And love relumes its fading light
As passing ages glide;
If dual souls one being form,
One perfect, blessed whole,
trembe not, earth's widest storm
May not alright my soul
For this has been my darkest fear,
Beloved, this my deepest wo,
Lest no thy voice should hear
In the far land to which go.
But now joy the love share
Need fear mortal change,
And only finds perfection where
Angelic spirits range.

For the PoIynesian.

I Mr.. Editor,-We have fairly entered upon the
labors and trials, and enoyments of another year.
Since my connection with this station, have spent
more or less time near the close of the old and
the commencement of the ne,c year, in special la
bors for my people, No more suitable occasion
than these, do know, for making good impress
sions, and urging motives drawn from the bible on
the minds of men.
ave take note of time but from its loss" Well
might great and good man once pray: $50 teach
us to number our days, that we may apply our
hearts unto wisdom" Allow me to say something
of the labors at this station connected with the
closing and opening of the year.
There being more than usual interest on the
subject of religion among people at the present
time, and my own health being less firm than usual,
l invited Malo, who is laboring in Kula as licen-
sed preacher to assist in the labors of the week.
On the last day of the year, and before Malo ar
rived had the unexpected pleasure of welcoming
Kaauwai from Wailuku, who remained with US 2
days, and afforded substantial aid. Kaauwai is
forcible and eloquent speaker, and the impression
made by his addresses seemed most happy Malo
is quite as logical, but he has less fire, and fewer
graces of oratory. He is man of great worth, and
looked upon both him and kaauwai with honest
pride, If l may so express myself, and with graft
tude to God for the trunphs of the cross-the tro-
phies of. grace among this people.
We stationed Malo as a preacher of the gospel
at Keokea. II is not improbable that he will ere
long be set apart by ordination TO this work. We
also placed Daniel Ii as licentiate at Huelo, in
Hamakua. greatly rejoice in the accession of
laborers in my field, though the means of support
being divided between three, the portion falling to
each one will be small. Less than two hundred
and fifty (S250) dollars raised this year, and
even this was much larger than l expected
at a time like this | have no fear of distressing
want while | hold in my hand the promise of Him
who cannot deceive, and will not forsake His peo-

Is found that aiIer the largest crop ever
collected in the United States, aud with
average production la other countries. the
stocks OF cotton are less than they were
twelve months age, the momentous question
arises-how is this demand for cotton to be
supplied : Until recently the sdviees from
the United States have justified the hope
that the crop now on the ground would
have produced a yield even larger than the
last crop; but from circumstances (which
Il is unnecessary 10 detaiD such expectations
can no longer be entertained, and the most
recent and trustworthy reports from the
colton.growing district show that while in
the New Orleans section the general,aspect
OF their crop is not unsatisfactory, yet in

Cotton.

Cotton is by much the most important
elemeR, in the commerce Of the world. IL
is the chief aud most valuable article. both
in he domestic aud export trade Of the U.
Ststes, and is the great staple production Of
the South and not this continent ouly. but
the whole world, has deep concern in all
things affecting the production and puce Of
cotton. Hence the anxiety aud interest
with which. on both sides Of the Atlantic.
IS discussed the question Of the probable
amount of the present crop of cotton. A
late number of British journal. the Econ.
omlst presents some facts and submits some
speculations concerning the probable prices
aud production of the growing crop, which
cannot fail to attract the attention Of the
planter, the merchant aud the manufacturer
~ this country, all Of whom las indeed the
entire community are vitally interested in
the subject.
Ia Great Britain the chief concern is as
to the supply OF cotton with us, the ques.
tion is as to the price Of cotton. In effect.
these questions are one aud the same, as the
supply determines the price, The Econo.
mist is of opinion that the present crop OF
cDtton will dCmmand even higher price
than the last, aud il supports its conclusion
by adequate arguments. The cotton crop
OF the United States. for the year ending
August 81, 1852, reached 3,0l5,029 bales,
being 659 772 bales increase upon the crop
of the last year, 9ls,3 1928 bales increase up,
on the crop OF the yoar preceding the last,
and 62S,65i bales more than the average
crop OF the last six years. But the increase
OF consumption more than kept pace with
the increase of production and hence the
price was enhanced aud the stocks reduced
In September of 1852, the price Of cottou
was twenty per cent higher than in Sept,
lS4i. But the stocks are much smaller. AS
appears from the following table:
