A WARNING TO MARRIED MEN.-A coiem-

individual having lawful wife:
"a married man whose habits are not very
regular, one evening last "eek, while walk
ing the streets, encountered II lady whose
walk and actions encouraged him to address
her. He was pleased at the impression he
had made, and forthwith, offered her his arm
to escort her home, which she arcepted.-
After leading him around some few squares,
she brought him up To his own door--t was
his wife Since then, we have no sort of
doubt, that the gentleman has been very cau-
tious how he NEEDLES with ladies on the
street.

BRITISH PRAcTIcB OF THE RIeEr OF
SEARcH.-The New York Herald says the
seizure Of the brig Caroline, of Boston, a
regular trader to the West coast OF Africa, is
another proof Of the evil influence of the
British practice of the right Of search, not
only upon q legal commerce, but also upon
the character OF the British officers them
selves. The Caroline was seized, her matches
broken open, part Of her cargo taken out
and examined, and finally carried as prize
into Sierra Leone. This is species of in.
terruption which no honest trade can prosper
under; and while all experience teaches us
that the slave trade does thrive under il, our
regular traffic with the coast Of Africa has
sunk almost TO Rullity. II is true the Caro-
line was liberated, but besides the indignity,
she has been subjected to great loss and de-
lay on her voyage. The most remarkable
point, however, Of the proceeding, Is the ef.
fort made by the commander OF the Alecto
to induce Captain Gibbs to destroy his ships
papers. "They are false, and you had better
let them swim," said he to the captain; and
several times afterwards he endeavored to in
duce the captain to let his ensign "swim," or,
in other words, to throw it overheard. The
only motive the British officer had for thus
endeavoring to obtain the destruction of the
American papers and flag was the prize money
that would come to hlm and his crew in the
event of the condemnation of the brig. 1t
has become full time that the American flag
should swim without any interference from
British officers.

BANKs-The following extract from an
article in the Memphis Appeal squints pretty
strongly of a continuance of Banks in this
State
But what does this war among the banks
indicates In our judgment, it points out
more plainly the necessity of a thorough and
radical reformation of the whole system, con-
forming the new system to a strict, specie
paying standard, and, with that view, wiping
out and closing up existing banks as speedily
rs public interest will bear. II also enforces
the necessity of sound sentiment on the
subject of banking, and to that end, that the
people themselves should take the whole sub
ecl 10 hand and see that all legislation had
is igidly guarded and enforced, with view
TO furnishing them currency equal to gold
and silver, and on the failure to do that, then
to abolish the whole system. II moreover
shows the importance of having but one sys-
TEN of banking for the whole State, and Civ
ing to each portion of the State independent
banks, according to its commercial exigen-
cies, and not merely for bunkum. OF the
two systems, we would prefer well guard
ed and restricted stock bank system. We
would divorce banking from political schemes
and political capital, so that neither the ad-
vocacy of, or opposition to, "a particular. poll
cy, should constitute a source Of political
power. We would collect and disburse the
revenues of the State in the manner that is
done by che Government of the Union-bv
the States own responsible officers-instead
of employing and salarying host of bank
officers and agents to do the work. We
would bring about these necessary reforms
as safely and gradually as the nature of the
work and circumstances will permit, without
violently or suddenly changing our policy
and depressing any portion of the people"

woMENs RIGurs-Ihe editor of the Augusta
Dispatch thus chronicles some things he has
observed of late. We don't know but that
he is rather severe, but presume he is writing
for notoriety. so we venture to give hlm the
benefit of the Posts circulation. He observes:
We would not be accused Of detractng
from the charms Of the SEX and no man more
highly appreciates their varied accomplish
| ments and those characteristics which assign
them place in the order of beings a little
| lower than the angels, than the subscriber"
| But we have lately observed number of in'
eidens that seem to illustrate very culpa'
ble thoughtlessness of those small sweet
courteses of life, which always so much
adorn the character Of man or woman, and
which are especially notable while travelling,
or in public assemblages.
We have seen a lady enter o car where
numbers Of her sex We're occupying whole
seats, and not one ofthem would offer to
share a seat with her; and we have known
two gentlemen to give up a seat and go into
the smoking car, while those ladies occupy
ing whole seats would sit as complacently as
though the car and contents. belonged To
them.
We have, within a week, observed bevy
Of ladies rush on the platform of the cars,
Just as they stopred at a station and actually
prevent passengers from getting out of the
car until the signal bell rang.
We have seen a lady sitting at the head
of pew refuse TO let a lady pass to vacant
seat beyond, such was her selfish and lazy
desire to have the head of the slip to lean
against.
We have seen two or three ladies spread
their expansive skirts all over a pew ten feet
long, to keep others from getting seats, when
FIVE Tor ten unhooped) would have ample
room.
We have seen ladies stop and talk on the
STEPS of Churches, and on the stairs leading
! from public halls, when hundreds inside were
trying to get out, and wishing them in Jeri-
cbo.
These are few of the instances of thought
lessness or wanton impoliteness that have
met our eye, during the last few days.
CoNsUMpTI0H.-No far from one hundred
thousand of the people of the United States
die annually Of the disease called consump-
ton. New York city furnishes about three
thousand victims. What an army of recruits
for the King of Terrors! Imagine it march,
ing in single file "from the cradle to the
grave"-a procession nearly one hundred
miles in'length. II we could at Cnce gather
before us all the dying consumptives, we
should see that great majority were the
youth of our country. In the very prime Of
manhood and womanhood their constitu-
tions have become wrecked; slow wasting
fever is ravaging at every point; disorganiza-
ton has commenced in the very center of the
citadel of life; foul sores and oathsome
putresency are corroding the structures and
destroying the blood and the breath of lfo
is growing shorter at each expiration.

The aggregate it will be seen, is upwards
of $4,000 900, instead of S84,0O0,O00.-
That this is not an over-estimate, we think
is certain, for it was furnished to Mr.. Sher-
man, of Ohio, by the Committee of Ways
and Means, and it is very well known that
deficiency bills never betruy the full amount
of the deficiency. Besides this $4,000, GOO,
there were appropriations of large sums
amounting in the aggregate, to at least Eve
million of dollars, if we are not deceived.
Thus then stands the account with the De-
mocracy. The expenses of Mr.. Pierce's Ad-
mnistraton, exceeded the expenses of Gov
ernment for the first twenty-six years of its
existence, leaving out payments on the pub
lie debt n both instances, by 100000, ,000.-
The expenses of the Government for the
asst. pscal year were $S3,0O0,0O0.--
The aggregate expenses of the Government
from its foundation to the close Of Jetfer.
sons Administration were $78,000,O00, fall
ing short of the first year of Mr.. Buchanan
S5,O00,O0O, although it embraced period
OF twenty years. The deficiency bill of the
last year amounted To more than the aver
age annual expenditure of the Government,
for the first forty years Of its existence.
