Titc• [soy triz OF A Sl.7ail.E. DISTIIIC IN sst lA.—We a or two since (says the l'l,ilailelphia Inquirer) alluded to a speech deliver ,d in Congress by the Hon James Irwin, one of the representatives from this State. We have since been endeavoring to find a place for it entire in our columns.—But this seeming to be impossible, for the present at least, we proceed to condense a few of its more important passages. Mr. Irwin contended earnestly against the doctrines that to encourage our own industry by legislative enactments, was to tax the many for the benefit of the few. He insisted that. a Tariff or duty on foreign manufacture, suffi cient ressonably to protect and encourage our own citizens engaged in such business, was not merely calculated to benefit the few capitalists who arc cwn ers, but to diffuse advantages throughout the whole populatii n of fl) country in a proportionate de- 26-1 9 He then proceeded to illustrate his argument, by citing die result in his own district: The principal manufacture, he said, that is carried on there is the manufacture 'of iron ; there are many others of differ ent kinds, but of rather minor importance, and I will at this time tontine myself to the iron trade alone. According to the return of the census now in the State. Department, that branch of industry .is put down ac follows, to wit : The number of furnaces now in. ep:ration is 33, producing 24,981 tons pig metal ; number of forges and rolling mills 42, pro ducing according to returns 23,456 tons bl, , onos, and bar iron; but in this latter article there is evident by it mistake in the returns, and I set the quantity down from the best calculation I can make at about twenty thousand tons, worth about $1,300,000. The number of workmen employed is 3 ; 072, mostly men with families, and according to an estimate I have made, and which I believe is very near correct, prob ably 'Hither under than over the actual amount. There is annually consum-d - by taose works, of the production of the farmer, 290,000 bushels of wheat, 400,000 bushels rye and corn, three millions pounds beef and pork, and other articles, such as potatoes, vegetables, butter, cheeSe, hay, straw, &c., to the amount of $150,000, making, in all, the sum of of $700,000 of the production of the farmer. Then there are the necessary ciiticles 'for wear, which are generally of northern and eastern manufacture, a mounting ty at least $350,000, and for groceries, salt, tobacco, &c., a , further sum of slso,ooo—ma king, C.;l al!, the actual amount of $1,200,000, which sum has been scattered all over tPcountry. Now does it appear from this that only a few cap. asitsts wire beretitted, or does it nut show that the many have, been the gainers In the first place, there are upwards of :3 ,0 0 , workmen, who are em ployed at better wades than they could have received at other labor ; then there is the $700,000 paid for agricultural articles, some of which are the produce of other States, as a great portion of oar beef and, pork comes from Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana ; h and I would say to the honorable gentleman from ken lucky, that we have furnished a pretty good market fur the mules of his State for several years past ; then dad the $350,000 -paid to the north for their manufactures, (one half at least ore cotton goods, the raw materials of course from the Southern states,) and the $150,00 for groceries and other articles paid-10 the merchant and foreign importer, and you woof - din-At the advantages spread over the w1..01e bind, and a 'very small balance left to be divided among the hundred Capitalists, as they are called. The truth is, that for the last year or two the receipts have scarcely met the expenditures. There is one fat, I would call the attention of the committee to_ thatwe consume nearly, if riot all, the coarser kinds of grain produced in the district, and generally at prices equal to the market in Baltimore, although two hundred miles in the interior, and I have known corn purchased in Philath Iphia and boated up the Pennsylvania canal, and consumed by a manufacturer in Huntingdon county.

" I have come," in a hollow voice, said Death, "To play on the grass with thee;' IlLt the boy look'd frighten'd and held his breath, In the midst of his childish glee. " Away, n ay from my &weirs," he said, "For I know, and love thee not;" look'd at the boy, and Shook his head : Then slowly he left the spot. He met a maiden in girlhood's bloom, And the rose on het cheek was bright, And she shuddered, as rho' a ghost from the tomb Had risen before her sight. Stir' stood by „the prink of a fountain clear— In its waters her beauty viemi'd, When death, "with his haggard face, drew ! near, And be i nnie the maiden stood. "Fair Da msrl,!' he said, with a courtly pride, ; "To thee I Giis,goblet quaff." But she turncd•with a buoyant step aside, And tied with a ringing laugh. _ /llc . jitiriley'd on, where an old man sat Oh the trunk urn worn-out tree; A poor old titan; for Lis held out hat Was al:zypibul 'of beggary.

And lie gather'd them all, (or the boy was weak— Thcotel man yielded his breath; And the ruse grew pale on the matdcres check, As she. sank in the arms of D.ath.

SEPTEMBER 10. 1341. -' Lope is the mistress of us all." g How smooth the surface of the river is this eve ning? Surely the current is gentle enough to tempt even the timid Mary to venture a sail,' said I. half ironically. • Come, here is abo t, let us cross over and spend an hour with the M saes li—: ' But it may be dark before we ret rn, and then—' she hesitated. d Thin we will retu by the bridge,' said I. .It is alielightful evening, and the lasi, too, that I shall spend in your pleasant village for the present, so let u%enjoy it.' .. She made no reply, but placing her hand in mine permitted me to seat her in the boat. A few strokes ' - of the oar and we gained the centre of the river. The dwelling of the Misses H— was situated a short distance below, and yielding ourselves to the current we floated slowly down. Report hod assigned to Mary W— the unenvia ble reputation of a heartless coquette. The village gossips would recount her almost numberless con quests, especially among the students of the neigh boring College. Many a fascinated under-graduate 'had thought more of her than of his studies, and re ceived for his trouble a coquette's smiles and his tutor's frowns. Mary was indeed beautiful, and full of that graceful light-heartedness, which more than even beauty bewitches one, but which is so often, alas! found united with heartless coquetry. At first I was lead to believe that what seemed the general opinion was true. But I soon thought otherwise. I could not but belicve that a form so lovely enshrined a heart—a heart, too, susceptible of the purest and, holiest passion that mortals know. My classmates, however, only smiled and shook their heads nt what they called my infatuation. But I b-d noted her actions for some time closely, and in a measure un observed. The more I saw the more I was convin ced that Mary had yet to love, and that when she did, it would be with a fever of which few are capa ble. Meantime our slight acquaintance gradually became intimacy, and it was said by the village gos sips that I would soon be added to the catalogue of her victims. Thus the time passed• by until the pe riod for my departure had arrived, and on leaving my room on the last evening of my stay, I determin ed to know if she was the heartless being so general. ly considered; or if she was capable of loving and being loved. For once her usual vivacity had deserted her, and our walk on this evening was, unlike the many which preceded it, almost a silent one. We return by the bridge, do we ?' she inquired, as we left the Misses H—. If you . prefer it. The distance .s considerable, however; perhaps it will be too fatiguing.' • • Oh ! no,•l like a long walk sometimes.' A few vain attempts at conversation, and we again walked on in silence. We had nearly reached her home, when she hesitatingly inquired— . May I ask you a question r .yes, two if you wish,' I replied, somewhat piqued at her previous reserve; Who is Ellen C—r A cousin of mine, and a pretty one, too.' You correspond with her r Yes, and hope to see her soon.' She is a lovely creature; such an one As poets love to dream o 1 artists paint." We had now reached the grounds enclosing her father's residence. Instead of taking the path direct to the house, we had, unu'iszrved by me, taken one leading to a. small arbor, where we _had lreqUently spent an hour in idle converse or in leading some favorite author. I am fatigued, let us rest a while,' said Mary, as we reached it. We entered. I observed on the seat a volume of Tasso's Jerusalem which I had given her. I took it up. Her glove was lying between the leaves opening to a particular passage—a favor ite of mine. Apparently without noticing it, I re= ferred to the pages which I had been reading that day and then spoke of some new publications which I had just ie.ceived, offering to send them to her for perusal during my absence in vacation. But you will call again before you leave l' I think not. -lily uncle's carriage vi ill arrive in the morning, and we shall leave as soon as the com mencement is over.' But you can call for a moment at least.' Do you wish it 1' She looked up reproachfully. A tear stood trem bling in her eye. My arm encircled her waist and gently drew her to me. Our *ups met ; the first long kiss of lose was given, and her head. sunk upon my bosom. We breathed no vow, bit that ii.orneut has long been to me the holiest one in memory. • • • •• • I hear my wife's step approaching the library. You are just in time, Mary. Read this-- Have 1 sketch ed it correctly V Yes—but—' But what You should not have written any thing about— about—.' About what" About that kiss !' Well, nct again.'

A little more. activity prevailed in the English markets for a few of the latest days, but it was thought not to amount to much. Cotton has declined and three cotton houses gone by the board. The harvests this year, even should the crop sus tain but little injury, must be a late one.

The same paper cautiously remarks that it has no means of as certaining the truth of the report. The news from China which we give, is not so late as that brought by the Ebro Preble, at New York, but it conflicts very materially with the latter.

As the dove will clasp its o,ingi to its side, and cover and conceal the arrow that is preying on its vitals—so is it the ii..ture of woman, to hide from the world the pangs of woun ded affection. The love of a delicate female is al -, ways shy and silent. Even wheal fortunate, she scarcely breathes it to herself; Lut when otherwise, she biaries it in the recesses of her bosom, and there lets it cower and brood among the ruins of her peace. With her, the desire of heart ha. failed—the great charm of existence is nt an end. She neglects all the cheerful exercises, which gladden the spirits, quicken the pulses, and send the tide of life in health ful currents through the veins. Her Testis broken— the sweet refreshment of sleep is poisoned by melan choly dreams,“ dry sorrow drinks her blood," un til her enfeebled frame sinks under the slightest ex ternal injury. Look for her, after a little while, anti you find friendship weeping over her untimely grave, and wandering that one, who but lately glowed with all the radiance of health and beauty should so epee dily he brought down toe darkness and the worm." You will be told of some wintry chill, some casual indisposition, that laid her low—bat no one knows the mental malady that previously sapped her strength and made her so easy a prey to the spoiler.

Gazette) the Directors of the Rank of the United States made an assignment of most of 'the valuable assets of that institution to the following named gentlemen:—James Robinson, President; J. S. New cold. a Director ; Richard Bayard, of Dela ware ; Thomas S.' Taylor, Casliicr ; Herman Cope, At.sistant Cashier. The preferences, if they can be so denominated, are ape of, two smug demands: next, those individu al,. arc tcelbe secured who have made themselves re spons:blekfeir any liabilities ul the Rank, particularlY tii.e elm have entered security on judgments re cently dhluined against the Bank on its notes, amounting, we think, to nearly two hundred thou sand dollars. The proceeds of the remaining por tion of the assets are to be appropriated for the bene fit of the general creditors, the note holders, eeposi torF,•&c.• Thc assignment alloWs to Messrs. Robinson,; Ba yard and Newbold Sfteen huiiiircd dollars a year each for their services, and to Messrs Taylor and f.opo. four thousand dollars a year each. This is rather a .a diminution than an increase cilexpcnser,inasmucti as Mr. Robinson relinquishes his salary.ot five thou sand dollars a year as Preside ut , and Messrs. Tylor and Cope have reci lied sCashier and assistant Casth ier the same salary which is now, given to them. The new arrangement will, of course, cause the dui urissalof most of the clerks hithertoeuiployed in the institution. Mr. Robinson continues to act as Pres dew,. while ho discharges the duty of trustee.'
