On the 24th Of May, the stock of cotton in
Liverpool, which is unprecedeLtcdly large Tor
the period of he year, was sufficient FOR the
British consumption for twenty five weeks,
reckoned at fOFty-three thousand six hundred
bales per week, It's recent rate, and which is
only five Thousand TWO hundred bales less than
the consumption Of the year. As the signs IN
dIcate most CLEARLY further falling of in the
consumption, the stock IN hand would answ et

AT the same date, May "a. there were know n
to be at sea, bound for Liverpool, one hundred
and twenty thousand bales from America, and
two hundred and ninety thousand bales from

Again, almost in our own day, the Carllsl war
divided half the households of Spain; yet no
monarch is more universally popular among
her people than Queen Isabella.
We might 60 on to show that The history OF
Germany, Italy, Russia, Sweden and all the
other nations kiH to ourselves has been SINH
lar To that of Great Britain, France and Spain.
We might especially refer to the affair Of the
Sonderbund 10 Switzerland. which was so
graphically related in the columns ofthe LoUn
ger short time since But we have pFobsbly
said enough to prove that civil wars have been
common in all countries. that they have hardly
ever led to permanent divisions between the
hostile sections. but thar, after fair fight, one
side has generally been beaten, and has sue
cumbed to the other.
1t will be so in our case. 1t is impossible
that this Union can be div ided. Peaceabe sep.
aration would be organized anarchy. And now
that both sections are armed for the fight, the
war will take its course, and 10 the nature of
things one will be beaten and will succumb to
the other.
We hear many boasts from the South of their
willingness to fight to the last man before they
yield. This is what every people says at the
beginning OF war. Nobody-no nation
ever coutemPiates serrender at the beginning
of a fight. We must let time and the dscon-
forts of war do their work. If we are true to
ourselves, defeats in the field, Isolation from
the civilized world, blockaded ports, want Of
money, food, clothing and all the comforts ad
luxurles of life, will by-and.by exercise re-
markably beneficial effect upon the temper oi

mating women, the record Of whose romantic
and sad career has touched the hear OF Aund
reds OF thousands. The Slab ltselt, the place
where 1t lies, the strange excavation made ~
its upper part, and the simple name " Charlotte
Tempe" cot near the centre of the stone Is
III Itself material sufficient for half dozen
hcuons as such are nowadays manufactured 'Dn
the shortest notice and most reasonable terms >
for the sensation press. No date OF birth, no
indication OF family, no date OF death, appears
on the slab nothing but Charlotte Temple
The legend runs that while only sixteen. she
was coutted by dashlng young British officer.
He deserted her, and then-the old slory-she
died. A little daughter which she lett, WAS
teuderly cared for; at proper age was taken
to England, aud fortune OF twenty thousand
pounds settled upon her by the head Of her
fathers family, the Earl OF Derby. She, true
daughter and true woman, cane back to New
York and erected this monument to tie mem
ory of her parent The inscription upon it
was engraved on a solid tablet of brass an inch
IN thickness, heavily plated with silver, aud
thus It read - Sacred to the memory of Char.
Iotle Stanley. aged 10 years This tiIlal duty
performed, the daughter returned to England
and lived life of unobtrusive pety and use
fulness until the history OF her family was closed
with the life of the late Earl. But the story OF
the plate or tablet is left to be told. Supposed
to be Of silver and of much value, it tempted
the cupIdiy of those who feared not to desc
crate the place of sepulture On dark night
two men, with hammer and chl-els stealthly
crept To its side. and succeeded IN pryIng It
from the slab; but. while making oil, hearing,
or fancying they heard some one in pursui +.
they dropped it in the grass, where 1t was sub
sequenty found. They were never detected.
The plate was rot restored to its original place,
and it was by some good heart, doubtless who
had known the deceased IN her days of child
hood, that the simple name, Charlotte Temple
was afterward cut just underneath the excava-
tion. There it may be seen, at any moment,
within twenty feet Of Broadway, by any one
who will take the trouble to rs sc himself on
the stones in which the iron tepce is set, and
glance toward the slab now almost inbeddt q

The Orphan Asylum

One OF the most worthy Institutions of this
city is the Protestant Orphan Asylum 1t
was the conception of few private individ-
uals, whose benevolence prompted them to
exert themselves to do something to save
helpless orphan children from vice and mise
~ ; and for many years past they have had
the exceeding great satisfaction OF seeing
their efforts crowned with success. Our cIti-
zens, fully appreciating the advantages OF the
Institution have at all times generously res
ponded to calls for assistance. The changes
which have been produced by the revolution
airy condition of the country, have operated
injuriously on the interests of the Asylum,
and made it necessary for the managers to
appeal again to the public for aid aud We
are graiifed to state that the kind hearted
ladies and gentlemen who participated in the
exhibition of Tgbleqtr T'iUaHt last week, have
agreed to give another exhibition tonight at
the Masonic Temple for the benefit of the Or
phans. The exhibition viii be of the most
beautiful and interesting character. The
very large audience who witnessed that OF

lence. We trust that the Hall viii on this
occasion be filed to its utmost capacity.

THEATRE-Last night the beautiful play
of Lagou1ar was presented to a fair audience
Zaoon.4r is translation from the German,
and unlike other TRANSACTIONS has not been
shorn of any of the beauties of the original
Language. Mrs. Lowell, in descending from
her position as an authOress to become a
mere translator, has really ost nothing, and
has made more for the German author than
he made for himself, for she has succeeded
in giving vitality TO play which, if suffered
to remain untranslated from it's original,
would have attained nothing more than a
very slight and ephemeral existence upon
the German stage.
The piece was well performed, and We are
pleased to be able TO record the fact that
our preconeeiyed opinion of NJ. Walter
Keebie as an excellent actor was confirmed
by the able manner in which he rendered
that extremely difficult character of LHgOHlIT.
1t is not easy for an artist, at short notice,
to give to a critical audience perfect pOr-
traiture of "Allemanni" 1t is difficult to
conceive how the rough barbarian can be so
Suddenly tanned by the smile of weak,
trembling girl Yet Mr. Keeble painted the
picture so delicately and flied up all
the lights and shadows of the character
so carefully that the conception of the au-
thor was at once made manifest to the mind
OF the dullest auditor His IRgOmar was
complete success. Miss Vernon, in her rem
dition of the gentle Parthenia, proved to us
that she possesses talents OF a high order.
Her conception of the character was perfect
ly correct, and left us nothing TO wish for.
The other parts were we'll filed by the bal
ance of the Company.
Up to the present time NJ. keeble has la
bored under many disadvantages ia the or
ganizing OF his Company. Some of the mem
beers were detained on their passage from
Kentucky, by the interruption of travel, and
others we're prevented from arriving in time
to fulfill their engagements by their own pri-
vate affairs, but the performance OF last
night will completely justify us in stating
that we have now in Nashville the
most efficient stock company that ever trod
f6e boards Of our handsome little Theatre.
Tonight we are TO be presented with the
Drama entitled - The Cavalier" and the ex-
cellent petit comedy of the :. Noble Soldier"

NASHVILLE, Oct. II, Il, 1851. J
There was change in monetary affairs during the
week ending last evening. The money market was
never subject TO so little fuctuaton.
Trade continues toerably brisk in most of its de-
partments but is greatly restricted by the want of
sufficient supplies and the spirit of speculation which
prevails. WooIlen and Cotton goods of all descrp-
tons very scarce and held at exorbitant rates.
The same be said Of Leather, Bacon and other
tic es for which the war creates an active demand
Flour is plentiful, but the spectators having got
possession of the stock and the Market prices have
advanced beyond the limit justified by the price of
Wheat, or the condition Of the times. -
Candies are scarce, and prices have gone up again.
There has been no change in Groceries, though We
may expect decline in Sug and Moasses, these
ticlss having declined considerably in New Orleans.
Whisky has advanced.
