[From the Philadelphia Saturday Courier.]LOVE CANNOT niE.

Of all the passions of the heart,Which God in wisdom did impart;Love slaiuis a proud supremacy,And rules with greatest potency.

Nurtured In Heaven, it blossoms there,Its fragrance scents ccicstialAiir,Inspires the bright, angelic throng,Attunes their notes to sweetest song.

This holy passion, so divine,Of God tvas given to mankind,Harmoniously to bind them all,That circles tins terraquous ball.

-Tis LOVE pervades His glorious soul,Stretching afar, from pole to pole,Encircling systems, worlds, and space,And maniltng all creation's dice.And Love for Him?immaculate,Our thoughts and lives should elevate?Translate us to ethereal climeBeyond the things of sense and time.

'?God is love" the Scriptures say,Love, which time can ne'er decay,Which 'round creation's ball doth range,Which man's rebellion could not change.

Oh! happy thought?Oh! precious hope,From Earth to Heaven we'll e'er look up;And when the sun of life goes down,Rise to wear an immortal crown.

Then with unsullied light to shine,Ar.d clothed with purity divine,We'll ever be from sorrow free,Throughout a long eternity.

TheCatholic fair at Apollo Hall draws togetherlarge crowds of racn, women a id children?-some of whom get fleeced naoat horribly?themep are in duty bound to pay for tiro luxury ofbeholding such a fair array ofbeauty; in fact noreasonable man can expect to participate in thejoys of an elysihm without paying tribute tothe beautiful liouris that keep tho gates. Imight draw a niee-eketch ofsome of the gentle-manly characters who liavo been in the habit ofattending this "sale of useful and fancy arti-|cles"?but I forbear; they are the observed of]the public circle in which they move, and thatis sufficient for present purposes. I was not jable to attend tho Concert at the Unitarian]Church, given for the benefit of the poor?but]a musical friend who was precent informs me |that it went offwith much credit to those con- ;cerned. The Anthem by the Choir of theWesley Chapel wag drowned in the noise of a 1full organ?two selections of Rowini's Stabat I

ramount to every other consideration I haveheard several knowing ones state to-day thattho affair between these two gentlemen will not

stay settled ?the Southern champion, they say,wants more concession than the member fromNorth Carolina is willing to yield.

MESSRS. EDlTORS: ?Knowing the lively in-terest you take in all plans, public or private,that have for their object, "Mental Improve-ment," 1 take the liberty of informing you oftho existence of a society of young ladies, (ofcourse they are young, being all unmarried,) inthis city, who meet together for the laudablepurpose of studying the classics of their own

language, and any other of which they inay

have a knowledge; critical drbatcs and poeticalrecitations. Now, Sirs, as i have occasionalaccess to their deliberations, I intend, withyour approbation, to give you a slight sketchof their doings for the benefit of the unknow-ing in such mysteries; for I can tell you, thereis as much mystery observed in tho exclusionof gentlemen, as there was in the rites of theBona l)ea by the Roman matrons.

I had the good fortune to he present at theirfirst meeting, when tho business before the so-

ciety was a choice of name; and the commo-1tion it excited was a perfect "caution," as SamSlick says, "to the God of Silence." But hewas not there. ,

Miss Sarah Sophia rose, and proposed -'Thej Galaxy," as the name for the society; whore-

i upon, there was a complete hubbub. Lizzy! Catherine declared that was too affected forany thing. Lucinda thought it really vulgar,and proposed "The Festoon of Roses;" whenthe din raised wpuld have equalled a Tower ofBabel on a small scale.

Above all others could be heard the shrillvciee of Miss Olevia, exclaiming, "talk of vul-

; garity after that!" Finally, after they had ex-hausted their'powers of eloquence on variousnames, a pretty little French girl proposed thatthe ladies should call themselves, "La Societedc 3 Elites ," as that would embrace all theymight choose. Whether it was the neatness

of the name, or the soft voice of the prettyLouise had the greatest influence, I dont know;but it received universal suffrage, and the so-ciety was organized under it.

! The next exercises "in order," were recita-j tions, and "Imri, or tliBride of a Star," from

! the Messenger for May, 1840, was recited with! all the propriety that corroct pronunciation, a| sweet musical voice and graceful gesture couldI give to it. There were some others, but none

I could equal this. The next in order was the| discussion of the question, "Should American

j Republicanism be encouraged by the Ladies?"] And I must say, I have never heard in any Ly-

| ceum I have been in, a- question as logically or;as eloquently discussed. It was decided afiir-

' matively with so much enthusiasm, that Missj Lizv.y Catherine proposed tho following resolu-

I tions for adoption:! Resolved, That American Republicanism is

1 the politics bf the ladies, composing La Societedes Elites, and we do consider it should be that|of every American lady; and that tho motto"Our Country," is as beautiful and illustrativeof the devotion we owe it as any that can bechosen. And fartherResclved, That we consider it the duty ofevery American woman to implant patrioticsentiments and forid devotion to this "OarCountry," in the bosoms of all over whom theymay have an influence. And that while theyeschew all desiro to interfere with party poli-tics, they will use all womanly endeavors tomake American Republicanism truly a commonsentiment to all. Those resolutions were

adopted with the greatest empressment, andthe society adjourned.

I niako these remarks for the benefit of "theassociation,"andam perfectly confident that theywill he received in the best spirit, by the ladiescomposing it. And also to let you know theinterest tuey take in the noble sentiments oftruo patriotism of which your papor yras thefirst to raise the flag publicly in our city.

I expect the same courtesy to be extended tothe efforts of the ladies for mental improve-ment as to those of gentlemen; and thinking,with Mr. Veritas, that a little criticism woulddo no harm to them.

THE FIRST LOCOMOTIVE,

About forty years ago, a poor, but honest andindustrious man worked at a steam engine in acolliery belonging to Lord Ravcnsworth, nearto Newcastle-upon-Tyne. He had an inven-tive genius, and untiring application. lie de-voted himself with great assiduity to the fulfil-ment of his task. His intervals were devotedto the improvement of the mechanical businessunder his control. Those intervals weie short,for he frequently rose at one o'clock in themorning, for the purpose of commencing hisaccustomed task. But ho persevered, and suc-cess attended his efforts. Mnny and impor-tant improvements wore made to his engine?-but as yet, they brought him no mitigation ofhis constant toil. At length, an idea gleamedin upon theuninstructed mind of tins laboriousman: "What if this mighty stationary wizardcould be made to mover" Tho thought startledhim at first with its wild image, but it soontook the shape of reality. Still no step couldbo taken without money, and he was poor.?Time rolled on. The mighty workings of ge-nius were triumphant. Lord Ravcnsworth,the owner of Killingworth colliery, furnishedfunds to construct an engine?it was the firstLocomotive Engine that was ever built; and inhonor of the noble individual who hod as noblyused his wealth, was called "My Lord." Thiswas 32 years ago. The great achievement ofthe age was accomplished; and now burst forththe stupendous intellect which had been foryears groping in the gloom of a coal pit. Af-ter laying down various railroads, and com-pletely establishing the practicability of iiis in-vention, he was sent for to plan tho line of theLiverpool and Manchester Railroad, lie thenpledged himself to obtain a speed of ten milesan hour; and all hough he felt conscious thatthere was no limit to the velocity of his engine,yet he was afraid to avow it. Itwas a hardmatter for him to keep it down to that, but liesaid it had to be done. It now became neces- 1sary for him to apply to Parliament for a char-ter?and he was deputed to appear beforo acommittee. One of them thought he was mad;others that he was a foreigner. But he was

determined to succeed, and genius and perse-verance has triumphed over incredulous andpurse-proud stupidity. Each succeeding yearwitnessed new triumphs; until his fame had be-come a part of the fatne of his country?his, asimperishable as liei's Step by step lie has

risen from the obscurity of his station, and byI the vigor of his intellect conferred immortalhonor upon the name of George Stephens.

ANTHRACITE COAL.Messrs. Editors: ?l am desirous, through the

medium of your paper, of calling public atten-tion to the manner in which the article of an-thracite coal is sold in tliisniarket. As at pre-sent conducted, the business of supplying ourcitizens with anthracite is entirely in tfie handsof those persons keeping the article for sale.When a citizen wants a ton, or less than a ton,ho applies at the office of the seller, who fur-nishes him with a bill of the same, and then

; tells him ho will be supplied as soon as possi-j hie. The purchaser then goes away and awaitsj the arrival of his coal, which, not unfrequent-j ly, is two days in reaching him. By this man-ner of conducting the business, it will be seenthat it is entirely in the hands of one party,and that the seller. Now the vender of coalmay bo a fair and very honest dealer, and mayhave in his employment as upright and consci-entious men as himself. And it may also be,that, liko some traders and dealers of whomwe sometimes read and hear talk of, their hon-esty may he of a very questionable character?-in which latter event the public ritn the risk ofbeing "cleverly" chiselled. In older, however,that nothing may be left to the honesty of thisor that individual, inspectors should be appoint-ed, by an act of the legislature or city council,whose duty it should be to see that justice bodone the purchaser, so that every load of coalwhich leavos the yard ipay certainly be of therequired weight. The great and increasingconsumption of coal in this city, renders it ne-cessary, in my opinion, that something shouldbo done to prevent the possibility of fraud.?In Now York, as I am informed, and it maybe in other places also, inspectors or weighersof anthracite coal are appointed by law, whoreceive a compensation of 12 1-2 cents per tonfor all coal sold from the yards and by theminspected. Whether this lee is paid by theseller or purchaser, I am unable to say?butthat is a matter of little consequence, whenwc consider the security the purchaser willhave against frauds, even should he himselfhave to pay the trifling tax imposed.

By these remarks, 1 do not moan to insinu-ate that any of the'present dealers act disho-nestly, in sending away from their yards lessthan 2240 lbs. to the ton. No, no; I disclaimany thing of the kind?but the time may comawhen we may not have such honest gentlemento deal with as those now engaged in the busi-ness; in which event, if not by law guardedagainst, they may take it into their heads topractice upon the motto that "some tilings canbe done as well as,others!"

By giving these suggestions a place in yourpaper, public attention may bo called to a mat-ter which I conceive to be important to

A shorttime afterwards a boat put off to us, and themate stated that she was taking in two buttsof water at every pitch. We kept near heruntil daybreak, when our qjate boarded her, andafter a careful survey, recommended a speedyabandonment. The shock was so great as todisturb almost every timber, from stem tostern ?the franio was shaken, and deck loosen-ed, her bowsprit, the head of the foremast,'fore-yard, and other spars carried away. The cap-tain, officers and crew, 26 iu number, hastilygot their clothes and chests, and, in their whaleboats, left her, first setting her on fire, andcame on board of the Wellington, and arrivedat Cape Town, as above.

The establishment willdoubtless meet?with great encouragement.

The Duel. There has been much talk aboutthe affair of honor between Messrs. Clingmnnand Yanccy, members of the Houee of Repre-sentatives. As no outward marks of hostilityare visible on the persons of the gentlemen,and as the matter has been adjusted amicably,there is no need of rnoralixing on the evil ef-fects of duelling; but is it not painful to everylover of his country to mark the height towhich party rancor will carry tlio feelings ofmen sent by an enlightened people to representtheir will and defend their interests in the Na-tional Legislature? Both gentlemen are ac-knowledged men of talont, men who bid fairto become ornnments to the country and socie-ty; why then should they "let daylight intoeach other's souls," because there should be atrifling difference of opinion as to the rights olthe North or the South?

East Indies and China.The great Liverpool (steamer) arrived at Mal-ta on the 27th of November from Alexandria,bringing the Overland India Mail, despatchedfrom Bombay by the Atalanta (steamer) on theIst of November, which reached Suez on the19th of November.The intelligence is not very important, either

politically or commercially.In India the geuerel tranquility had been in-

terrupted at Koiopore.From China the intelligence comes down to

the end of August. The English Governor ofHong Kong, Mr. Davis, was about to proceedto the northern ports in order to observe howtho Chinese authorities were conducting them-selves towards the new traders. Fever wasprevalent. All the liong Kong merchants weresummoned into the city of Canton on Augustthe 12th, when the authorities demanded a fur-ther payment of $5,000,000 as tlioir portion oftho Canton ransom money. The Hongs refu-sed to paj', and the general impression is, thattney will be imprisoned. Meanwhile Howqua,Sanqua, and some of the more wealthy of theHongs, have left their Hongs.

At Canton, several heavy purchases of silkhas been made. The prices quoted are, forTsatlee, 520 to 550 per picul. OfTaysaamthere was none in the market. Canton wasquoted $2BO to $350. The new crop was nr-

From Singapore we learn that an Englishexpedition had been seut to attack the piraticaltribes on tho north-west coast of Rornoo; itconsisted chiefly of Her .Majesty's ship Dido,Capt: Keppel, and the Hon. Company's steam-er Phlegethon, which went up the river Suliar-ran. The boats wero at first repulsed; but be-ing reinforced, they returned and demolishedthe fortifications, and took above GO guns.

Mr. Wade, first lieutenant of the Dido, was

killed while leading his men to attack a fort,and Mr. Steward and several men belonging tothe same ship were slain by the pirates. HerMajesty's ship Suinarang was not far distantfrom the scene of action- The Dutch had alsosent an expedition to Borneo in search of a mis-sing ship, the Charles.
