When a man of businesa, therefore, hears on every aide rumors of fortunes suddenly acquired; when he finds hanks liberal, and brokers busy; when be sees Adventurers flash of paper capital, and full of scheme and enterprise; when he perceives a greater disposition to buy than to sell; when trade overflows its aeeustomed channels, and deluges the country ; when he hears of new regions of commercial adventure; of distant marts and distant mires swallowing merchandise and disgorging gold; when he finds joint stock companies of all kinds forming; railroads, canals and locomotive engines springing up on every side; when idlers suddenly become men of business, and dash into the game of commerce, as they would into the hazards of the faro table; when he beholds the streets glittering with new equipages, palaces conjured up br the magioof speculation, tradesmen flushed with sudden success, and vying with each other in ostentations expense ; in a word, when he hears the whole community joining ib the theme of " unexampled prosperity," let him look upon the whole as a " weather-breeder," and prepare for the impending storm. The foregoing remarks are intended merely as a prelude to a narrative 1 am about to lay beforo the public of one of the most memorable instances of the infatuation of gain, to be found in the whole history of commerce. I allude to the famous Mississippi bubble. It is a matter that has passed into a proveib, and become a phrase in every one's mouth, yet of which notono merchant in ten has a distinct idea.

In the year 1776, when Gov. Clinton resided in Albany, there came a stranger to his house one cold wintry morning soon after the family had breakfasted. He was welcomed by the household, and hospitably entertained. A breakfast wai ordered and the Governor, with his wife and daughter employed in knitting, was sitting before the fire, and entered into conversation with S.Sturmer, In aranee Company GROCERS, 103 MURRAY, near WEST St. JfORTB AMERICA, Philadelphia.

The eare and hesitancy with whieh the stranger spoke aroused the keen sighted Clinton. He communicated his suspicions to his wife and daughter, who olosely watched bis every word and aetion. Unconscious of this, but lading that he had fallen among enemies, the stranger was seen to take something from his pocket and swallow it. Meantime, Madam Clinton, with the speedy tact of the women of those troublesome times, went quietly into the kitchen, and ordered hot coffee to be immediately made, and added to it a strong dose of tartar emetic. The stranger, delighted with the smoking beverage, partook freely of it, and Mrs. Clinton soon had the satisfaction of seeing it produce the desired result. True to Scripture, " out of his own mouth was he condemned." A silver bullet appeared, which, upon examination, waa unscrewed, and found to contain an important dispatch for Burgoyne. He was tried, condemned and executed, and the bullet is still preserved in the family. Importer of Brandies, Wines, Gins, &Ciy &Oip ACay No. 191 West Street, 1 door shore Dusne 8t.f NEW-YORK.

We get only a very few plums from the pia/ and even those, doubtless, having been selected by o British editor for British readers, have not been called because they were the least flattering to British fellings of anything which the tourists may have said. The prond Miss McBride wus not only proud per se, but proud of her pride; and on the same principle, we suppose it does not offend our English friends to have it said, as in this diary, that they I are " stiff" and '* a little proud," while even the epithet " rough," which is also used, may be construed as being merely a strong expression for the blunt honesty characteristic of British " hearts of oak." What can be said, however, when to an affectation of superior refinement in social intercourse, the Orientals bring an accusation against the English of disgusting savagery in the cxhibi:ion of raw meat in public, places f " Eating meat is often healthy,"' gay the Japanese critics, whose sensibility were shockcd by this display, " but why exhibit it to every one ?" The question might, with still greater propriety, be asked here in New York, where we may see raw meat in eating house windows, cat into the semblance of living animals, and even of the human form, as if for the gratification of a oannibal appetite. We shall, therefore, claim no superiority over our British cousins on this score, aud, in fact, may as well consider ourselves included in a large pari of the bill of indictment. We except the count on the subject of haughtiness.— " The merohants are proud, and the shopkeepers do not like one to turn their articles too much about," say the Japanese. Here the contrary is proved by conspicuous placards displayed in stores, announcing that it is " no trouble to show goods." The English run (or walk) very fast, just as the Japanese do when there is a fire. The women are, many of them, handsome, but "they run like a man." In order to appear taller, they wear a high bonnet. ' Fven fashionable women dance very much; they hang on the arm of the men, and one sees the men frequently run along the street in the arms of women. We believe them to be their own wives. Women in general enjoy too maoh liberty, and the fashionable ones wear the same dresses as those of the lower class. The dress of the women, especially at night, is not always decent.—- The last fashion is of course to bo repelled ; and concerning the aoount of liberty enjoyed by the sex, it is equally a matter of I course that neither Turkish nor Japanese I notions can oxpect toleration in England or America. proaohing death of tha Pope.

A Time of Unexampled Prosperity. In the course of a voyage from England I once fell in with a convoy of merchant ships bound for the West Indies. The weather was uncommonly bland ; and the ships vied with each other in spreading sail to catch a light, favoring breeze, until their hulls were almost hidden beneath a cloud of canvas. The breeze went down with the sun, and his last yellow rays shone upon a thousand sails idly flapping against the masts. I exulted in the beauty of the scene, and augured a prosperous voyage, but the veteran master of the ship shook his head, aud pronounced this halcyon calm a " weather breeder." And so it proved. A storm burst forth in the night; the sea roared and raged ; and when the day broke, I beheld the late gallant convoy scattered in every direction, sopie dismasted, others scudding under bare poles, and many firing signals of distress I  since been occasionally reminded of this scene, by those calm sunny seasons in the commercial world, which are known by the name of "times of unexampled prosperity." They are the sure weather breeders of traffic. Every now and then the world is visited by one of these delusive seasons, when the " credit system," as it is called, expands to full luxuriance. Everybody trusts everybody. A bad debt is a thing unheard of; the broad way to certain and sudden wealth' lies plain and open, and men are tempted to dash forward boldly, from the facility of borrowing. Promissory notes, interchanged between scheming individuals, are liberally discounted at the banks, which become so many mints to coin words into cash; and as the supply of words is inexhaustible, it may readily be supposed what a vast amount of promissory capital is soon in circulation. Every one now talks in thousands, nothing is heard but gigantic operations in trade; great purchases and sales of real property, ar.d immense sums made at eyery transfer. All, to be sure, as yet, exists in promise ; but the believer in promises, calculates the aggregate as solid capital, and falls back in amazement at the amount of public wealth, tho "unexampled state of prosperity." Now is the time for speculative and droaming or designing men. They relate their dreams and projects to the ignorant and credulous, dazzle them withgCuden visions, and set them maddening after shadows. The example of one stimulates another ; speculation rises on speculation; bubble rises on bubblo. Every one helps with his breath to swell the windy superstructure, and admires and wonders at the magnitude of the inflatipn that he has contributed to produce. Speculation is the romanco of trade, and casts contempt upon all its sober realities. • It renders the stock-jobber a magician, and the Exchange a region of enchantment. It elevates the merchant into a kind of knight errant, or Tather a commercial Quixote. The slow but sure gains of snug per centage become despicable in his eyes. No " operation" is thought worthy of attention, that does not double or treble the investment. No business is worth following that does not promise an immediate fortune. As be sits musing over his ledger, with pen behind hia ear, he is like La Mancha's hero in his study, dreaming over his books of chivalry. His dusty counting-house fades before his eyes, or changes into a Spanish mine ; he gropes alter diamonds, or dives after pearls. The subterranean garden of Aladdin is nothing to the realms of wealth that break upon his imagination. Could this delusion always last, the life of a merchant would indeed be a golden dream; but it is as short as it is brilliant. Let but a doubt enter, and the " season of unexampled prosperity" is at an end. The ooinage of words is suddenly curtailed ; the promissory capital begins to vanish into smoke, a panic succeeds, and the whole superstructure, built upon credit and teared by speculation, crumbles to the grdynd, leaving scaroe a wreok behind. " It is\»uch stuff the Pope is announced, the Camerlingo Cardinal repairs to the Pontifical palace, not to install himself, as certain writers say, EAGLE HOTEL.

He ascertains this without the assistance of physicians, by striking three times on the forehead #f the Pope with a hammer. If, at the third summons, he receives no. reply, death is certain. Science would not"be satisfied with so expeditions a formality—she who recognizes no other infallible signs of death than the decomposition of the body; but science has nothing to do with mere ceremonies of etiqnetto. After'the death of the Pope has been attested, the great bell of the Capitol sounds thirty-three strokes, to proclaim to Rome and the Catholic world that the churoh has no longer a pastor. This bell never sounds exoept on solemn occasions, such as the death of the Pope and the opening of the Carnival. C. E. WRIGHT. D. C. HARRINGTON WRIGHT & HARRINGTON. BENJ. E.

Modesty of Dundee.—Towards the close of bis valcdiotory address on Tuesday se'nnight, Dr. Islay Burns said : "In leaving Dundee it may not be out of place to say a word or two about the town, what I think of it, and with what feelings I part with so old and familiar S friend. Well, I always liked Dundee. My chief complaint against her is that she does not sufficiently liko herself. Bhe is not enough self-asserting—not enough conscious of her own dignity and importance. In this she stands in striking contrast—if my friends Dr. Blaikie and Dr. Mitchell will permit me to say so—with her ancient rival " the Granite City" of the far north. Aberdeen believes in Aberdeen. She believes in her Union street, in her two or rather three colleges, in her harbor and docks, in her granite quarries and granite streets, in everything that bears the name of St. Nicholas, or Old Machar, or Bon- Accord. Only fancy the gaie of incredulous wonder with which Aberdonian eyes would look on any hapless wight who did not profess to admire Union stiee, or the Castel Cross, or should even question the purity of speech which flows fawn the Aberdonian wells of English undefiled! Now, my complaint against this good town of Dundee is just this that she does not in like manner believe in Dundee. The first salution I met with on coming here was *Oh! you'll not like Dundee;' ana tho same salutation, I believe, meets every new comer we admit within our gates. With one of the noblest situations in the empiro (of which, by the way, I fear we do not make the most) we persist "in calling it an ugly place; and none but those who live at Newport seem to know that it is or ever was 'Bonnie Dundee.'

Having finished and sealed his letter,be look ed up amaied to see that the bottle, whioh had been more than half-ftall, had been emptied. Turning to the boy, be exclaimed, » Don't you know,. you imp that cost me sixteen shillings 1"—" And worth every penny on't, your Honor," was the reply of the simple rustic.

Pittston, April 1#, 18(18.—ly To the admirers of the great national poet in the United States, aa well aa in British America, we have to express our surprise that so praiseworthy an objeot has been treated with suoh apathy by the numerous Burns olubs. The office-bearers of 6uch associations ought surely to take suoh a matter in hand. Do these gentlemen think only of the peasant bard about the 25th of January ? or is the season unsuitable for suoh a subject to be mentioned ?
