CoURTsulP AND MATRlMoNY. We have
Publishers, 500 Chestnut ST., Philadelphia,
a copy o the most excellent work bearing the
above title. We cannot better give an idea
Of its value than by copying the following
notice Of it from The Home Joulnai:
" CouRTsnIp AND MATRIMoNY.-Thisis the
title ofthe vo iume from the portfolio OF Il ebert
Morris, Esq, the able editor of the Philadcl-
plia Inquirer. In these days, it is gratifying
to find volume, like, the present, wherein
taste is unvtiated and sense undestroyed in
which simplicity of style and clcarness of eX-
preston are retained, and which is written
not to excite the Imagination or pandcr to the
evil passions of our nature, but to inculcate
lessons Of wisdom, as well us to draw to tears
and move to laughter. We are reminded, in
reading these essays, of the gcnial-hcarted
Goldsmith. They contain the delicate fancy,
the good sense, and the quiet humor which
characterize GodSmiths writings and they
are, moreover, written with like correctness Of
language. They, treat, beside that of court
ship and matrmony, OF Il variety of subjects,
from scenes and experiences in social life, and
are particularly adapted for every day family
reading. They are, indeed, such as will bear
to be read aloud about the evening lamp, and
will please and instruct not only the old
folks at home but also the g little tolks.'-
No one can read Mr. Morris's volume without
being inn pressed by the tone Of earnest
thoughtfulnrss that pervades it, and we be-
lieye this work will be the means through
which an nfnity OF good will he accomplish
ed. 1t is Il fit book for anybody to read, and
worthy Of a place in every family. 1t is chaStc
in style, elevating in tone and sentiment, and
contains many useful lessons which may con
tribute to make happy home. No book be-
fore the public contains soundcr morality, or
practical household wisdom more pleasantly
eXpr' IS d. and certainly there is nocolection
of essays, better adapted for general reading
in the family. AS the work has been most
enthusiastically praised by such men as John
G:igg, it is needless to say that we trust that
all persons will extend to it their hearty
patronage, by sending for it. The publishers
VIII send "a copy to any person, to any place,
. per mail, postpaid, on receipt of$l.2j.'

BENEFIT or ADyERIIslNG.-Stc STEPHEN Giyard
of Philadelphia, who made an immense for
tune in commercial pursuits in PHILADELPHIA,
gave the following testimony to the benefits
of ADVERTISING:
&" have always considered advertising lib.
orally and long, to be the great medium OF sue
cess in business and the prelude to lth: and
have made it an invariable rule to advertise
in The dulIcst times long experience having
taught me TINT money thus spent is well laid
ou as by keeping my business continually
before the public, it has secured many sales
that would otherwise have lost"
Commenting upon the above, t c American
Railway Times says that ii is just the expert
cncc Of nincty-nine men in hundr cd, who
are in regular business. Some men think
that they arc so well known that they need
not advertise. They make great mistake.
1t often happens that the profits of Il single
sale made through the influence of on advcr-
tiScment, in some respectable newspaper, will
more than pay for the advertisement for ten
years. We have known cases of even moe
beneficial results .han this but moments
reflection will teach any man that he cannot
afford to keep his sign out of the newspapers,
which he knows is rcaG by his customers, if
his competitors have theirs displayed there.

THE EASTERN SHorE SLAVERY CoNvEN-
TloN.--We publish in full, as made out by
the Secretaries, the proceedings of the late
Convention Of Shareholders, held at Cam
bridge. The people Of Cecil sent no delegates
there. Generally Speaking, both those who
own slaves and those who do not, in this
county, are opposed to the continued agitation
Of the negro question but as the Convention
Of Shareholders devoted its attention more par
ticularly to free negroes, the subject is mater
ially changed and will not fail to create much
interest here Cecil has fewer slaves to be
tempered with than any other county on the
Shore, but She has a large free colored popu-
lution, on which many of our citizens depend
almost entirely for Labor, and any legislation
materially aft cling them will affect the inter
ests Of the whites aud the business of the
county. 1t becomes important, then, for
US to consider whether they should be eXpel-
led f,om the state or lcgisatcd back to slavery
again; the voice of Cecil should be heard in
the proposed Convention in Baltimore and
men who understand the interests OF the coun
~, as n county, and as an integral part Of the
STATE should be chosen to represent us in the
General Assembly which may have occasion
to take action in the matter.
We shall not now undertake to discuss the
question, but expect to refer to it hereafter.
1t is one to which attention should be given,
and we invite any gentlemen who may he
disposed 10 cXanine 1t, to a free use Of our
columns for the purpose. That there should
be some legislation in regard to the idle
and worthless free negroes, who live by plu,-
der, in some shape. Will not be doubted.
Probably, it might be wholesome regulation
to legisate, also for the benefit of the white
loalers and yaSabondS that inlcst every com
munity. Probably also, while in the cndeavor
to correct the lazy and mischievous habits of
free negroes, it might serve good end to abate
the multtndcs Of little srogseIies kept by
whites, licensed by the laws, around which the
negroes congregate, and where they are cor
ruptcd and dcbauched. All these things may
form part of the general subject, and if 50.
Will engage tie attention Of our citizens
our Conventions and legislature, in their
honest and earnest efforts to correct the evils
growing out Of the idleness and crimes of the
negro population.

case tried i'll the court there last week
Albert lcasa was .hen arranged and tried
for the larceny Of a trunk and sundry wearing
apparel. The evidence was that on the night
Of the 29Ih of August last Mrs. Guldcnpcnny

Philadelphia, on the Philadelphia, Whining
ton and Baltimore railroad and the trunk
was placed on board the boat. When she
reached Philadelphia the trunk she received
for her check was small one, containing a
few Instruments of music. The officers of the
road having asccrtained that three persons
had left Havre dc Grace on the same evening,
suspected that one Of them had changed the
check while the trunk was on the boat, and
called to their aid one Of the detective police
of Philadelphia, who in few days, arrested
leaga, with portion of the articles upon his
person. lie then confessed to the changing
of the check, and gave up the trunk and con-
tents. In his confession he stated that he
left the cars at Wilmington, and the court
instructed the jury that there was no legal
evidence before them to sustain the charge of
the larceny of the trunk, as there must have
been fok1n2 and carrying away in Hartford
