Eel England they continue to mari
fest fears OF French invasion. can OILY
repeat what have already said, that France
is not seeking war anywhere, and less
with England than with any other nation
She is not increasing her armaments extra
ordioary, as is charged, but only in regu-
lar ratio of increase. The works of Cher
bourg have been going IN for many years
and we only hear "A noise about them now
that they are finished, The ships that are
being built were ordered two wears ago,
not this year. and like Cherbourg. it is not
the order to build that frightens, but the
execution. the realization The annual
conscrlptlon for the army remains the
same; at "A figure which will maintain this
brench Of the national force at 625, 900
men under arms, or capable of being called
under arms at IA moments warning. Why
did not the asrmlst take fire at the order
ing of these augmentations, and not wait
till their completion? The whole secret
is. Napoleon desires to b. the political cen
ire of Europe, the bright planet arouud
which the others mnst revohe, and TO eff
feet this he must maintain great an arm

SONG.

The breeze that fans the flower at morn,
Pierces at eve its aiken vest;
While night with mantle darkly drawn,
Distllls the chill dews ON its breast,
But sweet tue healing that is shed
BY the cool breeze and fragrant dew;
One wakes the freshness teat had fled,
The other gives it life anew.
And thus the hsart-the very strain
That charmed it most in other wears,
Wakes many tho't that throbs with pain,
Till hushed the song i'll bitter tears.
Yet some blest dreams those notes recall
A soothing influence impart,
And tcars-tho bitter when they fall
Are palm unto the wounded heart.

INK Every letter is project in its shape,

of course, ditfereut from those now in use,
but in an other respect can they be dis
tinguished from printed mater. The

Tie immense amount Of labor may be
conceived from the fact that there are two

IL form thecitizens of Raleigh, and of the sur
rounding country, that he has the largest and best
stock of Books and Stationary ever offered for sale
in the city of Raleigh.
Believing that the wants and taste of every COM
munity required one establishment similar to those
found in the large Northern cities, where a full
and general assortment of Books can be obtained,
the subscriber has been induced, during q recent
visit to Philadelphia, New York and Boston, to
purchase from the principal publishers, and at the
great "Trade Sale" q superior stock of School,
Classical, Law, Medical, theological, Religious and
Miscellaneous BOOKS, which will, upon exami-
nation, compare with any tt be found in the South
ern or Northern country.
My stock of Foreign and American Stationary
is very large and complete. It has been selected
with great care, and embraces every article requir-
ed for the School and Counting room.
My stock has been bought upon the best terms
and a large portion for cash, which will enable me
to sell my goods at prices far below former rates.
Booksellers in adjacent towns and country Mer-
chants will find it greatly to their advantage to ex.
anime my stock before going North.
Colleges, Schools and Teachers will be supplied
at Northern prices.
By special arrangements with the principa-
houses North, I shall receive their new Books a.
they are issued from the Press, and will supply

and continue Ten months without vacation. Stu.
dents, however, will be received for a half term,
or at any time during the session, being charged
from the time of entering.
With regard to the modes of instruction, adop-
ted in this Institution, it is enough to say that
Prof. York's improved system is fully carried cut,
and the surest test Gifts excellency and efficiency
is, that the most sanguine expectation of all who
have tried it, has been fully realized.
Such students as desire it, can be prepared for
any class in College, and those who may wish to
prepare for teaching Common Schools, will have
ample opportunity for doing SO by entering the
Normal Department. Every possible attention is
given to the moral as well as the mental training
of the pupils.
For a session of Ten months, $125 piU coue,
every item of expense, except text books, and for
half term, $62,50. The money, for half the ex
penses, must be deposited with some member o
the Faculty on entering school, the other to b.
paid at the close of the session.
York Collegiate Institute is located in Western
North Carolina, Alex county, 48 miles fror
Salisbury, 20 miles north Of Statewide, and 81
miles east of Taylorsville. 1t is surrounded by
fine Mountain scenery, and, in its immediate Vi
entity, is an excellent White Sulphur Spring
which is we'll calculated to improve the health
invalids; and the water, with which the institl
ton is supplied, is not surpassed by any. st'
