Ak ANNUAL PLEDGE OF FEIEEDsHTr.-
During an editorial experience Of many years
We have been called upon 70 a~eknovledge
many acts Of kindness and attention 70 our
omcial necessities, by friends in every profess
sion and calling but the friend who has stood
BY us longest, been the companion Of our Joys
and-sorows, recorded our pleasures and gHefs,
assisted US in our zissivss Of love, friendship,
affection and business, has been our PEN,
mat mishfiea Instrument % little men"
No wonder. then, that we should love it, re-
spect and cherish it but how much more
should we love and cherish the liver? From
time out Of mind, our old friend PsttisOn, who,
when his country was invaded, thought the
sword was mightisr than The subject Of our
present thoughts, made bis annual present Of a
magnificent pen. This season it comes as
usual, but more excellent, more elastic, purer,
and richer than ever before. There are more
Of them at bis model book and stationery store
on Union street, where We advise all in need
Of such an article to 90 and supply themselves.
The excellence OF his pens is only equaled BY
the superb stock Of stationery be keeps con-
stanGly on hand. And, then, there are his
books, all selected and served out BY that par
agon Of gentlemen and politest Of clerks, Cow
perthwait, whom to trade with is a pleasure,
and who never offers anything to you that you
should not buy, if you need it.
CHAMBER OF coMMKRoE.-ns attendance
at the chamber each day is quite satisfactory,
and 4 is evident our merchants are rapidly
psrcsiring the facilities change affords them
for The transaction OF Business, and are pre-
Faring TO avail themselves Of them as the sea
son advances. Wshear thatbuyers, not being
members, have expressed themselves as dssir-
Gus, occasionally, to cafl in on 'ehange and
look over the samples there, but have felt a
d~elicaey IN going without inyitstion- We
learn from the secretary that such parties viii
be allowed the Satres Of the Institution fer the
purpose Of making purchases and transaetiHg
other business, and will meet vita courteous
welcome. The number Of applicants fer mem
bsrship, since the opening Of the chamber, has
been considerable. A prosperous future lies
before the chamber Of commerce, an i%nstitu-
ton Of which, in a few year., the whole city win
be Justly proud.

MoEARcHIcAL. - The New Orleans Pic
a,v.ue saws there il no truth in the report that
sleus are taking to invite the Prince Of Wales
to that eity. Wetsks the opportunity to state
that neither viii any such invitation go from
Memphis. In the sovereign line this city
"goss inv for the homs article, the genuine
HpopulaIr sovereign. The only British ar
tieIes in the sovereign line we care to invite

four cents a piece, and We section to" them,

man. whose name we failed to learn, was ar
rested in Mr.. Pesrson's auction room on Main

generally. Il was only with great .sxertiOn
/ on the part Of Mr.. Pearson and others that he

End it to heir advantage to examine into the
eminent claims Of this seat Of learning.
les PAS1c.-Bshlen, Wilson & Co ran out
Of the frozen article yesterday, creating quite
a panic at the bars and in other localities. It
is to be hoped that they viii soon be abundsntlY

city ice houses will not take advantage OF the
necessities q the community, and raise their
prices. Such conduct is a species Of Shyioek-
ism, which public opinion ought 70 rePFcosts-
