The SECRET or BEING LovED.--William Wirt's
letter to his daughter on the small sweet courte
sizes Of life, contains passage from which deal
of happiness might be learned: want to tell you
a secret. The way to make yourself pleasing to
others, is TO show that you care for them. The
whole world is like the miller at Mansfield, who
cared for nobody--no, not he--because nobody
cared for him. And the whole world will serve
you So il you give them the same cause. Let all
persons, therefore, see that you do care for them,
by showing them what Sterne so happily calls the
small, sweet courtcses in which there Is no parade
whose voice Is too still to lease, and which mani
fest themselves by tender and affectonate looks,
and little kind acts Of attention, giving others the
preference in every little enjoyment at the table,
in the field, walking, sitting or standing

EMIGRATION TO TrxAs.-The Galveston

EMGRiTIoN To TFXAs.-Thc Galveston
News Of The 10Th uls., says:
Never have we before heard Of such
vast crowds Of persons coming to our State.
All the great thoroughlares through the
comtr" are reported to be eliteraly thronged
with cmigrant wagons. A gentleman Just
from Mississippi, overland, says that at
Rodney the steam ferry was employed day
aud night in taking emigrants across the Mis-
>iS,ippi. He says that fully 1000 persons
crossed during the short time he was de-
layed there, and that the streams Of persons
arriving and destined for Texas was unin-
terrupted, Another gentleman who cross,
ed the Trinity at Robbins Ferry few days
ago, says he was there five days waiting for
his turn to cross. These emigrants are sail
to be mostly planters of wealth and intelli
gence."

Hemp.

Mcssrs. Lewis s. Morris & Co., eXtcn-
sive Hemp operators of New York. in their
circular of the 1st express Tie opinion that
prices for the present year will depend in Il
great measure upon the abandonment Of the
neutral position of Prussia, il the present
contest, and the consequent arelinquishment
of the indirect trade with Russia had been
sustained with England and other nations
through the territory Of that power, The
matter it is acknowledged, is filled with un-
certainty, and Messrs. NJ. & Co.. posted
as they generally are on the prospects of this
great staple, content themselves with the
mere statement of the fact, unincumbercd
with any opinions OF their own. There i
no change TO notice in the general aspect OF
the market for American hemp. Deccm-
Der, il is stated, was characterized BY an uu-
usually aggravated depression, and closed
without presenting any very hopeful pros
poets for the future.

At Convention of thirty of the specie
paving Free Banks of Indiana, held at Indi-
annapolis, lately the following resolution, a.
mong others, was adopted:
Resolred, That we will receive and pay
ont the notes Of the banks represented in
this Convention, as specie-paying banks in
all business transactions, and that we will
in no case treat as par funds the issues of
any supended bank whatever.
The indianapolis Journal gives list of
the following shaving shops which have no
place of doing business, no owners that any
body can find, and which do not redeem

The Journal of the Sd, says that Re
demption Agency, at New York, for the
Free Banks, will be urged by some Of the
prominent bankers in the Convention.
Governor Wright OF Indiana, in his mes.
sage to the Legislature, takes strong grounds
against the free banks and says the Lcgis.
lature will not do their duty to an outraged
people if they fail to adopt prompt measures
, to suppress the unjust and disreputable
practices of the banks. The circulation o
the free banks having been reduced TO thc
extent of $4,000 .OOO and ofthe State Bank,
| $lo00,0O0 within the year past, being
more than one-half the circulation of The

Mr. Darnes wished TO know from the
Professor the cause Of earthquakes; aud was
informed that they were occasoncd by sub
tcrranean fires, which deccmposed water
into its component gases, oxygen and hydro

tact with fire, thereby producing earth
quakes.
Mr.. Mose'y observed that the more fire.
cuent was the recurrence OF earthquakes.
the less violent they were.
Mr.. Swallow said that sustained his the

Mr.. Stevenson at the suggestion Of gen

cipnt coal in the beds adjacent % the Han

Mr.. Swallow replied that there was suf-
fcicnt coal for the purpose for nine thou

Mr.. Stevenson again inquired about the

Mr.. Swallow presumed that Mr. Steven
