After the revolutionary plots of the clergy and

with Spain. The minister of war, Gen. Soto,
had been ten days at Vera Cruz inspecting, per

things.
The State license for selling liquor amounts
To about $1,000 90
The City license for selling liquor amounts
to about BOO 90
$4,000 90
Which amounts we believe. very nearly approx
mates the entire revenue derived from the sales OF
licenses exercise the privilege Of waging horri-
bic and uurighteuas warfare against the lives aud
property of our people by oorrupting the majority,
and annually destroying large number OF our slaves
and by debauehing and demorasing many OF cur
youthful, and uncomfortable number Of our adult
white population. And yet, whenever the friends OF
temperance make effort to arouse our people to
the importance of removing this dark and damning
stigma from our moral eseutcheon, grayely
met by the chilling response, that the burthcn OF
taxation weighs 50 heavily upon the city, it is i'm
possible nj this time TO dispense with any source OF
revenue whatever that we must wait for a morcaus-
pieious season TO commence our warfare upon this

QUEEN VICTORIA AND THOMAS CAxPBELL.-
The following story narra,es the most grace
full compliment and delicate return ever
made by royalty: 81 was at her majssty's
coronation in Westminster Abbey, said
Campbell, sand she conducted herself so
wen during the long and fatigaing ceremony,
that shed tears many times. On returning
home, resolved, out Of pure esteem and
veneration, to send her copy Of all my
works. Accordingly | had them bound up,
and went personally with them to Sir Henry
Wheatley, who, when he understood my err
rand, told me her majesty made it rule to
decline presents Of this kind, AZ it placed her
under obligations which were unpleasant TO
her. Say TO her majesty, Sir Henry re-
piled, shat there is not single thing the
queen can touch with her sceptre in any Of
her dominions which covet; and there
fore entreat you, in yosr Office, to present
them with my devotion as u subject But
the next day they we're returned. | hcsita-
ted" continued Campbell, "to open the par.
Gel; but on doing 30, found, TO my inex-
pressible JOY, note enclosed, desiring nv
autograph on them. Having complied with
the wish, again transmitted the books to
her majesty and, in course Of day or two.
| received in return this elegant engraving.

to the royal signature, which WAS in her maj
esty's bold and beautiful hand writing

One peculiar characteristic Of the late fail
ures will attract general attention. or
course, on every occasion when skaky brok-
ers and fraudulent dealers can seize an ex-
cuse, in the disturbed state of money mi tters,
TO fail, they will do so. The present occa.
sion has been so used to q considerable ex-
tent. But the bulk OF the late failures
throughout the country, are the failures Of
rich men that is, men who not only have
reliable assets much exceeding their lahili-
ties, but who will have fortunes left after
winding up their business. And this is true
OF public institutions as much ~ OF private
individuals. We have never known this to
be 50 generally and strikingly true as now.
That fact does not argue so much an IN.
sound condition OF affairs, ai bottom, as il
does one OF two things, viz: either TOO i'm
prudent and too extended trade, on the cap
.ial employed, u ! disturbances VI che vol
ume Of currency, and it, temporary diversion
from the ordinary channels Of business.
Probably both causes have helped 10 produce
the present state Of things, and, Of course,
they leave the very strong impression that
the embarrassment. can only be temporary.
