Bookseller, corner of Market and .Third streets,
aHowabji,” just published by
Harper & Brothers, New York. This is one of
" the’most interesting and readable books that has
beenossued from tlie press during the last twelve
- months. In regard to the title of the book we
copy a quotation from [he introductory page:—
• “ What then 1b a Howadji? ’ said the Emperor ol
Ethiopia,.draimng a;ieaker of. crocodile (ears.
■‘••Howadji, I ’. raid the Arabian, “is our name- for
merchants; and -as only merchants travel, we, so.
-call travelers.-! The descriptions.of the scenery
' of die Nile, the peculiarities of the people, ice., in
. thu- book, ore really. igrand and poetical. The
. author, is a young gentleman of the City of New
. York, and- this is said to be his first attempt at
book writing.. He certainly possesses a brilliant
imagination, We copy a few. passages from one
■ of lha chapters, describing ,
PIIIL£.
' I wish Phite were as lovely as the melody of
its name imports.
But I do not dare to call Isis by ihename of
' Venus—or if the- Palmyrene Zenobia, following
tbe'triumph. of Aurelian, was pretty—then is
- Phil£B chained to the car. of Time, lovely; i Poet
'Eliot Warburton, indeed, speaks of its ‘'exquisite
beauty,’ ’What shall the Howadji do with these
poets?
- Girdled with the shining Nile, Phils is an aus»
tere beauty—lsis like, it sits solemn-browed, col
umn croshmg column, pylons yet erect,and whole
aides of letnple courts yet standing with perfect
pillars—huge decay, wherein grandeur is yet
grand. It is strange to see-human traces so
lovely in a spot so lonely. Strange, after the
death in life of the Nile valley, to emerge upon
life in death so imperial as Pbite. For you rev;
member that the Ibis did not pause at the tem
ples, but beheld Thebes and Dendereb, as abeflew,:
like pictures fading on the air.
• * . • • * . ! ■" * . ■
Phite was the holy .island of old Egypt. Thith
er sailed processions of higher purpose, in barques
more gorgeous than now sail the river, and deep
down gazing in the moonlight Nile, the Poet shall
see the vanished splendor of a vanished race, cen
tering solemnly here, like priestly pomp around
an altar. Hither, bearing gifts, cam? kneeling
- Magi, before they repaired to the -Bethlehem
manger. And kings, not forgotten of fame, here
unkinged themselves before a- kingiier. For the
island was dedicate to Osiris, the great God of the
Egyptians, who were Dot idolaters, as far as ap
pears, bat regardedt Osiris as the incarnation of
the goodness of the unutterable God of Gods -
, But it were easier for a novice to trace the i
temple lines among these ruins, than for an ordi
nary Howadji.to evolve lucidity from the intricacy
of the old Egyptian, theology, And we who stroll
these chores; pilgrims of beauty only, can not
pause to lose ourselves in the darkness and .ruin
and inodorous intricacy of the labyrinth, like
mere explorers ot the pyramids. We know very
-little of the Egyptian theology, and that little is
ill told. Had 1 gratuated at Heliopolis, I would
have-revealed to. you all.. But many there be,
who not having taken degrees at Heliopolis or
Memphis, do yet treat of these things. - Books
- abound wherewith the Howadji, in his Dahabieh
on-the Nile,-or in the warm, alippeu at home,
- may befog lus brain, and learn as much of the
religious as of the political history of Egypt.

You will be grave at Plate, how serenely sun
ny-soever the day. But with a gravity graver
than that of sentiment, for It is the deadness of
thetdeath of; the land that you will feel. The
rmns-will be to you the remains of the golden
ageof Egypt, for hither came Thales/Solon, Py
thagoras,. Herodotus and Plato, and from the
teachers, of Moses learned the most mystic secrets
of human thought. It is the faith of Phite that,
developed, in a thousand ways, claims our mental
allegiance to day—a faith transcending its teach
ers; •as the sun the eyes which it enlightens.—
These wise men came—the wise men of Greece,
whose wisdom was Egyptian; and hither comes
thamere American Howadji and learns, but with
a difference. -He feels the greatness of a race de
parted. He recognizes that a man only differently
. leatured from himself, lived and died here two
thousand years ago; • • '
Ptolemy and bis Cleopatra walked these terra
ces, sought shelter from this same sun in the
shade of these.same cotumns, dreamed.over the.
v calm-river, at subset, by. moonlight, drained'their
diamond-rimmed goblet of life and love, then era
balmed in sweet spices, were laid dreamless in
beautiful tombs. Remembering these-things, glide
gently; from Phite, for.we shall sea it no more.—
Slowly, slowly--southward. -loitere the -Ibis, and
leaves ijs columned shored behind. - .Glide gently
from Phite, but it will sot glide from you. Like
a queen, crowned in death among her dead peo
pie, it ivili smile sadly through your memory for

A Wbtg Office Holder. .
Soon after the incoming of the present Whig
National administration, the Hon. Edmube nuns,
an intelligent and worthy Officer, against w osa
competency not a word was uttered, was removed
from the office or Commissioner of Patents, and a
gentleman named EwnAßir, a wbtg, wan appointed
in* l, ib il6 ad. It aoems that various chargea have
been preferred sg.inst Mr. Ewbsbd, by no mesas
calculated to add to his character as-an honest man,
hhd yet lib holds on to the offico with all the tenaci
ly ol a hungry leech.
The Washington correspondent of the New York
Express (whig) states that-Mr. J.- J. Gbeebouqb hue
recently preferred -new charges'against the Commis
sioner ofPatents. The charges are that of appro
priating the funds of the Patent Office for his de
fence tn the newspapers. We trust that the nest
Congress will appoint a committee to investigate and
report on .these.charges of gross corruption, which
it is alleged* has for along time dugrecod thin
.office.- :.■■■■
It seems that after charges by some eight or nine
different parlies of malpractice! disregard of the
lawsj Stc., had accumelated in the Department of
the Interior! those preferred by the ludia : Rubber
Manufacturers were made public., To these Mr.
I Ewbank published. an answer, and. a statement ,of
the exatnioer, Dr. Gale, in various newspapers In
different parts of the country, and pa ld for tuck
publication! ■ out of the public ■ treatvry. If this
charge be true, be ahoald.be.rnetantly diamlned.—
The following is from tho correspondence of the i
Express ••
The boosting ofaome of the papers, that Mr.
Commissioner Ewbank is not removed, or to be ro«
moved, notwithstanding the Day Jollification in hon
or of a jest Executive decapitation, Is destined to
be short lived. The President does not do things
by halves. Ho had made np his mind that Mr. Ew
bank was not a sellable or proper man for the very
responsible public place he held. He signified the
propriety-of Mr. Ewbank’s resigning. ..The hint
was not complied with. The President then directed
Mr. Ewbank to be superseded by the appointment
of Georgo T. Cams, of Boston. Bet learning that
Mr. Curtis could not accept the appointment of
Commissioner of Patents, he suspended action for a I
while, in order that aome other capable and proper i
person could be found who would accept the post. :
It was in honor of this' resolve of President Fill- I
more that the Dog Supper was £iVen. That that re
solve waa right eeema now tobe more.apparentthan
ever. ■J. J. Greeooogb,-a man of. truth,, a. Patent
Agent in this city,and'the brother of-Grednough
the Bcnlptor, makes the charge openly that Mr. Com
missioner Ewbank, who recently published in the
National Intelligencer, in several New York papers,
i in a Button paper, end a Domsvtifo paper, e long
rigmarole or vituperative language mainly against
Horace H. Diy. Ee j., of New York, who, with
othera,had preferred charges against, purporting to
be a defence of the Patent Commissioner by him
self add by his esamlner, Dr. Gale, ordered the pay
meet for eaid publication ineald newspapers, and I
for three hundred copies of. the National Melligen ■
csr containing the-publication, to be made out ol
the Patent Office fund—that the amount,some throe
hundred dollars, was so paid—and that tho kooks of
the Patent Offico will establish the fact.
Mr. Greenongb has made Ihiß* charge of corrup
tion to the Secretary of the Interior, in lorm,and
he elands ready to enbatantiate it. That he can
Tally do so, I, from the knowledge which has bean
communicated to mo in the matter, have not a
doubt. J Defies.

NUMBER XLVIL
HißMSßcno, March 25, 1851.
Our Senators have becotne.-Wonderfally indus*
trious, and appear determinedfto retrieve all lost
time. To-day, by a large vote, they resolved to
hold afternoon and evening sessions on each day
and evening of the week, except Saturday. For‘n
while this may do well enough, but 1 can scarcer
ly think they possess the powers of .endurance to
enable them to hold on till the end of the session.
There is work-enough to keep them busy, al'
ready cut out by the House, and from the steam
like rapidity with whifch business is rushed through
this department, there is every probability that
they will keep the Senators’ hands full until the
session closes
The concurrence of the Senate in the joint reso
lution in relation to adjournment, will .have the
effect of expediting business - very materially.—
The time, being now certainly fixed upon, -they
know-how long they have to stay, and what is to
be done in the time that remains.
There is yet a vast amount of business to be
done, and which, from'the preseat activity, will
be gone through with before adjournment. Sever*
al of the most important bills have yet to be dis
cussed. Prominent amongst these is the Ap
propriation Bill, which is made the order of the
day fo Thursday next, and every day thereafter
Until it is completed. From the nature of the ap
propriations asked, their magnitude and impor
tance, there will doubtless be warm and protract*
ed discussion. ,
- The Free Banking Bill is laid on the shelf.—
The form in which it leaves the Senate is such
that those who were its warmest advocate* seem
to have lost the interest they formerly manifested
for its welfare. But apart from this fact; there is
but little reason to believe that it will ever come
up in the House, or a vote be bad upon K. It in
to all intents and. purposes, dead! dead If dead!!
<« Requiescat in pace.'"
The discussion this afternoon and evening, in
lhe Senate, on the repeal of the Anti-Kidnapping ,
Laws of 1847, was animated and interesting,—
The repeal was warmly, opposed by Mr. Walker,
of Erie, who took decided grounds against it, —
This, of course, was to have bsen expected. Air.
Guernsey, from Tioga, also took sides against it,
although his opposition was not ao direct and vi
olent as that of Mr. Walker. Afr, Muhlenberg
stood up for the entire repeal, and in his usual
forcible manner, demonstrated the necessity of it
Mr. Hugus (who, I am happy to say, has recov
ered bis health, in a great measure,) also took his
stand in favor of the bill, and warmly urged its
passage- But the great speech ol the day, and I
may aay of the session, was that of Mr. Bucka
lew, the young and talented Senator from Colum
bia He completely electrified the crowded cliam
her by the magic of his eloquence, and the resist
less weight of his argument. His whole speech
abounded in beautiful thought and masterly argu
ment, and was such a speech aa became a true
democrat. He is, beyond question, the most elo*
quent man in the. Senate, and bids fair to become
one of the very first of Pennsylvania's great men.
; Columbia Way justly pride herself upon her
i young, but able and gifted representative.
Below you have the bills passed to day in the
' House. A goodly number, as usual, and neariv
. all of them lengthy; with numerous amendments
t in the form of other lengthy bills. God help the
f Clerks! An omnibus bill went to the Senate to*
j day, five yards in length. SPRIG.

“ Lord Jobs Russexl expressed hia firm belief

to make, to reatore import duties, especially on corn.
But in that attempt ho admitted that great.confusion
and danger would ensue to the peace, the commerce,

he trusted to a generous unity amoog, and support
from, all tho triends of free trade, to aid him in

Holt Labd.—lt is stated in a late number of the
Allgememe Zeitung that tho Austnao Ultramontaine
party is prepartog considerable difficulties for
Schwaffcnberg, by its seal for an object wmen the
Christian world has abandoned—the recovery of Je
rusalem and the Holy Sepulchro from the hands.ol the
Mahometans. The purpose of the crusades is to bo
revived, but it ia to be pursued by the way ol
macy, not by war. It is stated that the Catholic
powers, wiih the connivance of Austria, intend to
obtain possession (it is not premsoly defined how) ot
all the sacred spots of the Holy Land, which willl bo
then made over to the Calholtc church. The Order
of tho Holy Sepulchre will be raised to the import
lance once possessed by tho Knights Templets. A he

It seems to be a disputed point ettliia Eng'and,
whether the recent attempts of Clausaea and Donel*
lan to prepare fiax ao thai U could be spunby macbi
oery, similar to that need in the manufacture of cot
ton, have been entirely successful. The expert*!
meatsinadei at Manchester, and reported in the Mor r
ning ChTon{£le x were aaid to have been highly satis
factory, but we baveyaibce; seen ln the
English papers which .would go to show that these
experiments were, oot at all decisive.
Whatthe Chronicle stated, onr readers may re
member was, that Mr. Claussen haddevissd a mode
of preparing the crude flax by which it was immedi
ately adapted to the spinning machine, and as the
main cost of flax was known to lie, not in its culii-
vation, but io the preparation; of the fibre, by the
process of rotting, breaking and cleaning, an expen
sive, tedions ,afld laborious' proesa, thir discovery
was hailed as a most important one;. ,
On the old method of preparing, flax, the core
must be fire! separated from the fibre, and then steep*
cd in water Tor five oreix weeks, after which it ia
spread upon the ground for a week orraore, to be
rotted- by the dew." By these;; means the qor e
ferments, and is afterwards easily disengaged; by
lt may be rotted entirely
by dew, and indeed much more, rapidly, than by im •
mersioh In water; but tho flax Wilinot be so even
and good.:
Now, in the place of these slow and unwholesome
modes, Claussen aod Donellan hive adopted,the use
ofcerUiochemicaFdgentf, which render the pro'ceaa
cheaper as well as more expeditious.
It was stated, by the Cftronfete, that Claussen had
•pun this kind of prepared flax, in cotton-machines,
at th connection with cotton and wool
and withoniaby ndmixturQ of either, and that-the
yara produccd sras aafine andof as good quality, io
every.. respect, as thc cotton, fhe wool, and the
mixed yarns produced by the ordinary process.- But
io the latter accounta of hia efforta, tbe ElogUsh wri'-
tcra do not speak eo positively as the reporter of the
Chronicle.
.. The complete success ortheseexperiments would
produce a tremendous change; in tbo commerce of
the world, and particularly io the trado of the Uni
ted States, Flos is raised in Russia, Great Britain,
Flanders, Holland, Egypt, New Zealand and 'Ansi
tralia; hot the best soil in the world lor. its produc
tion is that of the middle and western part of this
continent. Over ten hundred thousand cwt. are an
oualiy used in Great Britain now, in the manufac
ture of linen, and the various mixtures of linen and
wool, but if tho flax fibre could, be furnished, a*
Clansaen states, ai four pence stcrHog'per pound,
and spun by cotton and woolen machines, the con
sumption of it would be prodigiously extended.—*
It would snpplant cotton, in many of its moet cora*
[ mon uses, and in that way work a great revolution
A monthly agricultural paper, with tho. above

CotrNTEBSXXT Gold Dbst. - A number of the
Sacramento Times, received by last arrival, eaya:
“ Wowero shown a few days-since a beautiful
sample of spurious gold dost, which has been manu
factured with care and no doubt intended to be palm*
ed upon the public as a genuine article* It is in
small particles, in all imaginary' forma, but it pre»
eenls rather top bright ao appearance to deceive
those who hive handled much duat. And the par
ticles are generally oblong, too much so to deceive
good judges. There is, however, great tfangor
from a m isturo of this spurious article with genuine
dost.”
Home the place for madness.
If there U any place ;bh ,earth where mutual
kindness should be an abiding law, it is the fami.
ly. Nothing is more beautiful to behold, than the
amenities of ; a well regulated and loving, family,
where each endears tumself.lo'the. othef by kindly
offices, and where the mainspring Of action is at
fection. - To enter such a family; from the cold,
embrace ol the world, is like passing instantly
from winter to surnmer. Xft have seen such
families. When the’father, ivOm out by the vex.
atious cares of his business, entered at evening in
to the sacred incldsures of home, tt - was the sig
nal for the manifestations ol those little tender
nesses which Only affectionate children know how
to exhibit. One: goes with joy ftil: celerity after
papa's slippers; another flies to get ~his morning
gown; a third eagerly ‘inquires if papa is very
tired. Meantime, the loving and confiding wifa,if
not engaged, in household duties elsewhere, ex
presses her fegard hy .handing her husbaud a fan,
or by some other act of kindnes3- Tiqie passes
on, and the sapper being over, you will find them
eager to assemble in the parlor'.where Jbejf may
spend the evening: in sweet conversation, or in
reading or in study. Each member wears aumi
ling face, and utters his Words in tones Of love.—•
The cords of affection,.in this family, are con.
stahtly growing stronger and stronger, aud when
one member suffers or enjoys, all the others suffer
or enjoy with him. Behold, such is the character
of the family where mutual love and kindness are
the law of action. . . ". ;
How different do we find the case in that fatni.
ly where selfishness is the ruling principle. From
morning to night you shall hear bitter upbraidlngs
and accusations. Each face Wears the scowl of
discontent and envy. If.one' member, seems to
get;lbe slightest advantage over .the rest in any
pleasure, it awakens the spirit of jealousy in the
rest. The father, all Biniles and bows to his cus
tomers at the store, repairs to his domicil carry"
ing clouds of passion in his whal? ipien, apd
scarcely speaks a kind word til! gets back to
•his store again rieiV day:' ‘ The' children are al
ways qoarrelihg.-; The heads of the family never
meet except only by necessity; and then only to
dispute.—There are .no pleasant meetings of the
family in the parlor; t>uf when tea is,over; one
goes'this way and another .that, and the smaller
children go quarreling to Bed.: To enfer sqch a i
family, is like going if|to pqrgqtqty. ‘
Vjtoutd you malre yonrfamily a place of peace;
’ joy and’ happiness! Make the taw of mutual
kindness the governing principle, and you will se
cure.your end. lfyou ; would turn your home
into an insipieothell, make selfishness iherule of.

List reader, Hat, and I will tell what is beautiful—
A. good man struggling with misfortune* and preserv

A dutiful child obeying the'mandates of parents, and j
walking in the way of righteousness.
Sinful mortality on bended knees craving from on
-High a pardon, for past transgressions: K Forgive us onr
trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.”
Mortality relieving the wants of mortality by .advan
cing the cause, of the destitute. t
For' his most beautiful to roam ’mid the forsaken
: haunts ofdespair, io still the groans ofsorrow, and spread
bread on theempty tables of tho fanilshing. Ay! and
rescue Ihe fallen and make glad the over-charged heart
of the.oppressed:
‘VPlnck from the memory a rooted sorrow,
% Raze out thewrittentroubles of the brain ;
' And, With some sweet oblivion’* antidote,
Cleanse the. foul bosom of that perilous stuff
That weighs upon Hie heart.”
And beautiful is woman around the fevered bed of
sickness, 'pillowing the pale cheek, bathing nod binding
the fainting brow, and, like n form of brightness,
whispering “hope, ”jwhere else therehad been n orc :
When man is waxing frail,
And hia band is thin and weak,
• And hia lips are parched and pale,

Oh ! then doth woman prove
Constancy and love.
»Tia beautiful to cast over the foibles of the brother

be merciful to thee, a sinner.

: God has-given us a beautiful world as a transitory
abode, and the rivers, the streams,the fields, the flowers,
the birds, the trees, and all around are beautiful.
The sun is beautiful as he ascends the sparkling sky,
and the moon, as she reflects her brilliant rays o’er the
heads of all. .. : -
: And thou, oh ! High and Holy One; art the summit of
allbeauty:.
The angels of Paradise are beautiful; the spirit’s as*

beautiful..
And beautiful—superlatively beautiful—and most me*
lodioUs will be the sound of the “Archangel’s trump” lb
those who on that eventful and final morn shall have
awarded to them life ;
If God hath made this world so fuir;
Where sin and death abound ;
How beautiful beyond qompare
Will Paradise be found.
