]aats and “business men of. Richmond, are about
to hold a public meeting, for the purpose ofim
porting goods direct to Southern ports; they
have also enrolled their names in a “ Southern

Death of Washington Irving. .
Washington Irving, the venerated and belov
ed patriarch of American literature, is .dead.—
fle dicd laSt Monday night a week, at hishcuu
tiful rural residence, “ Sunnyside," neatjTnrry
towh. New. York, lie retired to his room about
10 o’clock, feeling more languid than usual, and
complaining of pain in his side, but apparently
not more feeble than he had been for several
months past. Just as he reached bis room, and
while one of his nieces was near him, hp.sud
denly fell, and in a moment was gone. A phy
sician was soon with him, but no mortal aid
could avail to bring him hack to life.
Washington living was born in the city of
New-York, April 3, 1783, and was accordingly
past the middle of his seventy-seventh'year, at
the time of his death. No man in America has
contributed more than Air. Irving, both injlie
variety and the excellence ol his-writings, to
give a literary reputation to his country. He
commenced catly his career as a writer. The
. first efforts of his pen. at the age of nineteen,
were critical notices of the drama and current
town tppicsi The taste which was congenial to
literature did not incline him to the study of
law, which was Chosen as bis profession, and in
a few. years after he was engaged in the work
of entertaining the town with his humorous pa
pers, periodically published, as Salmaguridi:
or the Whim-whams bf .Launcelot Langslaff,
Esq.”- These papers Were the first public indi
cations of the playful fancy, humor, sentiment
and grace of style, which are thedistinguishing
characteristics of Mr. Irving’s writings. His
“ Knickerbocker’s New York,” produced at the
age of twenty seven, is probably the richest ex
hibition of ludicrous humor extant. It laid the
foundation of his fame as a writer, and soon in
troduced him io the notice of ihe.ffrst literary
men of the age in this country and in Europe,
among whom 'was'the celebrated' Walter Scott,
His “Sketch .Book” and.•• Bracebridge Hall’'
followed, both of which:were produced in Eu
rope, where ho resided for seventeen years.—
Ddring his sojourn abroad, he enriched his fan
cy with the fascinating legends of Spanish his
tory, and'sebsequentty produced the “ Chroni
cles of‘the Conquest of Grenada,” -.‘ Tales of
the Alhambra,” “ Life and Voyages of Colum
bus and his Companions,” all of which were
received with favor and'added to his literary
fame. His other works area “Life of Gold-
smith,” “ Astoria,” “ Captain Bonneville’s Ad
ventures in the Rocky Mountains' and Far
West,” and "Mahomet and his Successors.”—
The last and crowning labor of his literary life,
was the “ Life of Washington,” recently com
pleted, in four volumes. This great wotk, in
comparably the best memoir of Washington ev
er written, was at once the employment and the
solace of his declining years, and will prove a
lasting monument to the subject and the au
thor. . ' ’ - ■
Though much of Mr,'lrving's literary labor
was devoted to historical'subjects, it is his hu
morous and; sentimental writings which have
most contributed to his reputation. Nothing
could be'more entertaining than his Diedrich
Knickerbocker’s history, and nothing more ge
nial than the story of Rip Van Winkle. They,
reach the fancy-and. the feeling, of every render,
and open their hearts at once to_,the author. 1 —
Mr. Irving’s writings are remarkable, for grace
falncss'ol’stylc, felicity and purity, of language,
richness of humor, playfulness of fancy, l with a
large and happy power of invention. There
are no bold and original ideas in his specula
tions, such as philosophic minds would deligKt
lo follofv, but them is - entertainment in every
page of bis books ; something so spirited,jairy,
grotesque and pleasant, that they will always
commend themselves to the reader in his hap
pier moments of leisure, as a source’of rich en
joyment and of most pleasant fancies.
The character of Mr. Irving was cherished
with such admiration and delight in the hearts,
of his countrymen, that a cold analysis of its
qualities, almost within the hour of his depart
ure, would be no less impertinent than super-
flnous. The language of fond eulogium has
been lavished in his praise. Our most eminent
writers have loved to make his virtues the theme
of cordial prihegyric. In truth, the sympathy
which he called forth by the sweetness and kind
ness of his heart was not surpassed by the ho
mage which, was freely paid to the splendid en
dowments Of his intellect. It was the man,
more than the author, in Washington Irving,
which commanded such reverence and love, from
neighbor anj friend. It is as a sincere, gener
ous, large-hearted, and healthy-minded man
that he will be remembered with lingering affec
tion, even if the lovers of literature could ever
forget the, debt which, they owo to the produc
tions of his rare and beautiful genius. '
The Post-office and Abolition Documents.
—The Attorney Genera] of Virginia has given
an opinion as to the rights of the State’authori
ties to prevent the circulation of Abolition do
cuments through the post office. Attorney-
General Tucker says the laws ol Virginia re
quire postmasters to give notice to some justice,
it they receive any books or willing inciting
negrobs to rebel or inculcating resistance to the
right of property of masters in their slaves j
and the justice shall have such book or writing
burned in Ills presence. This Stale law, he
says, is entirely constitutional, and docs not
conflict with the Federal authority. This Fede
ral power to transmit and carry mail mattordoos
not carry with it the,power to publish or to cir
culate. This last is a great State power, reser
ved, and absolutely necessary to bo maintained,
as a security to its citizens and to their rights.
It is true tho postmaster is an officer of the
Federal Government j but, it is equally true, ho
is a citizen of the State. By taking tho Federal
office, be cannot avoid bis duty as a citizen; and
tho obligation to perform tho duty of ,bis office
cannot absclvo him from obedience to tho law
of his Commonwealth. This opinion has been
sent to all tho deputy postmasters in the StatA,
that they may regulate their copduct bjr-il., ,Xf
they act upon it, their action wl)l curtail very
much tho operation Of .the franking privileges
as used to circulate Incendiary documents, i
Sundat Law in Ohio.—An importing de
cision concerning municipal Sunday ordinances
has been given by the Supreme Court of Ohio.;
It: is lo the-effect that any municipal ordinance
prohibiting, under n penally, the opening of
shops; &o>, on Sunday, without excepting cases
of necessity and charity, and without exempt
ing from its operations persons who conscien
tiously observe the seventh day of the Sabbath,
is Inconsistent with the lows of the Stole, and,
therefore, void.

The Washington Family.
A correspondent ?of the Jbufnal
says: Iq correcting the crror.in regard to;the
relationship ' between Lewis W. Washington,
and the Washingtop, you inadvertently felli in
to some others. Dkngerfleld Lewis is- not ; the'
grandson of Fielding, but of Warner Lewis land
Bettie Fielding' being a son of
Warner and Bettie Lewis. ’Neither is Danger
field Lewis the nearest living relative of Gener
al Washington, for while William
of Orange county,-Va., bears the same relation
ship (through his mother Elizabeth, the dattgh
ter of Aligustine, the brother pf Washington)
there are three other persons living who areyet
nearer—Robert Spolswood, of Henry county,"
Mo., Mrs. Adeline Butler Anderson, of Louis;
viiio, Ky., and Mrs. Eliza Washington Dodge,,
of Smyth county, Va.-, son ; and' daughters of;
General Alexander E. . and Elizabeth Sppts
wopd. A very singular coincidence may here
Restated. Gen. . Spotswbbd was born in tlie
same Wonth. on the same day of the month, in.
the same boti'se, in the same- room. and. in the
.same corner of the room, in which General
Washington was born, and perhaps Was more
nearly 'like his great ancestor in size, features,
and general appearance than any other of bis
descendants. , • ■ ,
Mrs. General Spotswood was the daughter
of Fielding, and grand daughter of Warner and
Bettie Lewis, by .whom she, was brought up
after the death of her motheri which took place
while sho was a small girl ; ,; and General Spots
wood, her husband, was anothef: sonof Eliza
beth,, the daughter of Augustine .Washington.
Hence, you sec that, while Dangerfield Lew
is and William Spotswood arc one degree near
er, it is through only one branch of the family,
wbi'e Robert Spotswood, Mrs. Adelaide B. An
derson,and Mrs.,Eliza Washington Dodge are
direct.descendants through two branches. Du
ring many years of his later life General Wash
ington was the frequent guest of General Spots
wood, and gave names.and stood as godfather
to several of their children, among whom were
Mrs. Dodge and Mrs. Anderson. , ■

United States. —The exports of wheat from
France for the year ending in August last, were
30.000. bushels, out of a crop estimated at
200.000. bushels. , The crop was not . more

about 15 per cent, of the product. The largest
quantity of wheat exported from tho United
States in one year was 32,000,000 bushels, or
20 per cent, of the growth.
