HAzEL-EYED GInLs.-Maior Noah says
that "hazel-eye inspires at first Platonic
sentiment, which gradually but surely ex-
pands into love as securely founded as the
rock Of Gibraltar. A woman with a hazel
eye nerer slopes from her husband! never
chats scandal, never sacrifices her husbands
comfort to her own, never finds fault, never
talks too much nor too little, always is an
entertaining, intellectual, agreeable and love-
ly creature" eve never knew" says a
brother editor, Chat one uninteresting and
unamiable woman with hazel eye, and she
has a nose which looked, as the Yankee
says, like the little end of nothing whitfield
down to point" The grey is the sign of
shrewdness and talent, Great thinkers and
captains have it. In women, it indicates
better head than heart The dark hazel is
noble in insignifcance, as in its beauty
The blue eye is amiable, but may be feeble.

THE MARK ETS.
BALTIMORE, March 81,

BALTIMORE, March 81, 1856
FLoUR.-There were sales reported on Change
of 500 bbls City Mills Flour at ST. and of 800 bbls
Howard Street do p7 II. The market for both
descriptions closed at the above quotations. We
quote Patapsco Family, 50 IS; and Extra do So IS
per Dbl by the quantity.
GRAIN.-There was fair receipt of Grain to-
day at the Corn Exchange but TIE market exhib-
tied but little animation. For Wheat the mar
ket is without change, but for Corn prices were
lower than on Saturday.
Corn-The offerings Of Corn were about Is 900
bushels, but not more than one half the parcels
offered were sold. White Corn sold at SO, 54a57
cents by measure, and So cents by weight: and
yellow do, brought Sc cents by measure, and So
cents by weight
Wheat-The receipts of Wheat were about
$500 bushels. There were sales on 'change Of
400 bushels good red at 81 57asl GO, 600 bushels
family -four white at 81 75as1 50. We quote
Wheat at 81 50asl 60 for fair to good red, ST 60
aSl 70 for fair to good white, anS.sl 75as1 so
for prime lots of do, suitable for Family -four.
Rye.-We quote Maryland and Virginia at 6Oa
IS cts.
Oats-Sales at 50 to 81 cents.
From the American Of Saturday last
ToBAcco.-A few hogsheads of the new crop
Of Marya land reached the market this week, and a
little of it sold at ,7as9. The price is considered
about so cts. lower than the same quality brought
last year. There is a good demand for Maryland
and shippers are ready to enter the market as
soon as receipts appear. Usually, the crop comes
! in freely IN the beginning Of May, but owing tc
the condition of the weather during the winter
the planters have not been able to prepare 1t fol
market, and now the lateness of the season com.
pels them to make active efforts for their spring
crops, and many will not be able to send then
Tobacco to market until July Or August. Owing
to the existing demand prices will rule pretty high
at least until the bulk of the crop is received. II
is probable that the sales Of the coming week will
enable us to give quotations. The stock of Ohio
| Tobacco now here is about 500 hhds to which &C.
cessions are daily expected. Shippers have taken
some few hogsheads at Sc for reds, which is a
bout 81 less than the same quality brought last
year. Shippers hold off for the present, and hol
consequently no transactions to notice this week
though it is quite probable the market will soor
open with activity. The inspections of the week
are 1875 hhds. Maryland and l hid. Ohio.

counties of Nelson, Amherst, and the south
part OF Albermarle, in Virginia A gentle

the earth it was supposed lasted from ten
seconds to half minute, and was accompa-

A grand dinner was given on the 10th,
by Mr.. Buchanan, American Minister, at
his mansion house, London. A large num-
Der of diplomates and official dignitaries
were present, besides many private citizens
and Americans. Mr.. Buchanan made a
speech in which he spoke with decided con-
Gdence Of an early and satisfactory settle
ment of the American question. His re-
marks entirely dissipated all apprehensions
of war between the United States and Eng
land. The speech was loudly and enthusi-
astically cheered at repeated and frequent
intervals.

states that the stories about the bad habits

York, at the same time a cousin of his. a
son of Lucien Bonaparte, and his errors
were attributed to Louis Napoleon. Let

BAD News FOR TIE BUTcHERs. An ar

which is peculiar to the butcher, does not
seem to indicate enduring health,

lNTEMpERANCE. The writer was throw
by the incidentssof travel into Rail Roac
Car, in which a party of young men, ap
parently OF good families and liberal educa
ton, were passing bottle of brandy around
among them, and drinking frequently O
the unmixed potion. Two of the number.
not more that II years Of age, gave indica.
tons, not to be mistaken, that thew were
already confirmed drunkards.
Another melancholy fact is, that Joys a
school are more and more learning to in.
dulge stealthily in intoxicating drinks. Il
seems to be considered among them some
times, let us hope not frequently, a sign OF
manllness to initiate their elders in this their
Ipestilent example. Who can contemplate
without a shoulder, the probable career ola
youth who makes himself a slave in early
life to this ever-craving, ever-groWiing. new
er-yielding habit of indulgence ?ss And vet
multitudes of our youth, otherwise of the
greatest promise, it is known to all, are
subjecting themselves to this terrible despot-
ism. They deliberately sput into their
mouths an enemy to steal away their brains, -
to deprive them Of every quality which can
contribute to their worldly interest and their
future welfare, to destroy every feature of
the soul which can entitle them to the re-
spect Of man, Or the favor of God.
Of course, it would be unjust to speak of
the youth of our nation, at large, as given
to intemperance. But let the proportion Of
this character be greater OF less, it is GER
tain that the number of those training for a
drunkard's life and drunkard's grave, is
fearfully great. The chances, to speak in
common parlance, of a young mans escap-
ing the influence ofassociates, and the grow
ing force of custom, leading him to intem-
perance, are becoming less and less

FEMALE RIor.-On Saturday last, about
twenty or thirty of the ''most respectable
ladies" in Farmington-backed up and pro-
tected by about three hundred men and
boys-turned out armed with suitable i'm
plements, went to every grogshop in the
place, and emptied out all the intoxicating
drinks they could find; which, from all that
we could learn, was not very small guam
itity. One man locked up his GROCERY, de-
termined to keep them out; but finding
them resolute and unfinching, he finally
unlocked it again, to save them the trouble
of breaking the door in, then stood and

which required five weeks to disengage her.
