"Snnnr Itly.w
Rome. Feb. 7, 1655.
Sunny Italy" has been chilled and clouded
for weeks. Wo have scarcely had an entire clear
day this winter, and the provoking coquetry of
the' sttn only serves to make us more sensilite to
ihc et winds of ihe winter-Iookine hills, every
where covered with snow, from Rome to the Al
pine posses. An American family arrived this
m"isngfrm Florence, inquiring in despair for
the bright clime of the poel :
Know you the land
Where the citron and olive arc the fairest of fruit
And the voice of the nightingale never itf mute 1
It is even worse in the South of France, where
the cold is Hdually biting. The mails are habit
ually retarded over and beyond the mountains;
on this side where snow become rain beore it
reaches the plain, the roads and railways are al
ways passable, for storms and tempests, which
elsewhere deform the face of the earth, are here
unknown.
In Italy, na'lure is always quiet, though she is
sometimes sulky, as in winter. Thus it is that
her monuments remain uneffaced for ages, that
frescoes and sculptures remain everywhere in the
open air, so that the very atmosphere seems im
bued with the spirit of ancient poesy, for, though
tho " fair humanities of the old religion " laid no
longer in the faith of reason, yet, whorever we
turn, some statue, some temple, some fane, some
old imnge or inscription, hewilches the imagina
tion with something beyond and above all her vis
ible charms
-The gleam,
The light that never Waa on sea or 1 ,nd.
The consecration and the poets dream.
This is the secret of the celebrity of the cli
mate of Ik.iv, which is actually detestable in com
parison with that of the West India Islands. The
truih is that heretofore the world has been more
influenr.ed by poetry than science in the matter
of climates. Thanks to the active efforts of our
own countrymen, it is now likely to become more
enlightened on the subject. The official Journal
has a long article in commendation of what it
justly denominate " the vaul design conceived by
Liut. Maury, Director ol the Observatory at
Washington, and adopted at the Scientific Confer
ence ol ihe cliiel maralime nations at Hrussi-ls, ol
continue aiui uii-.luftf) mr-toomligical observations
by sea and laud nil over the globe." And lii go
vernment of the Pope has honorably orJamed
that the system and instruments thus prepared be
strictly employed by its marine in the observation
of the Papal State. The Holy See has just sanc
tioned the institution of the " fioman Society of
Navigation, " an association for the promotion ol
commerce.

THAT COMMISSION HOUSE OF
TINLEY & HERRON'S,
CHARLESTON, S. C.
THE only house doing business in that city that ac
tually bad any experience in Receiving and t or
warding of Goods previous to the South Carolina Rail
road quitting the business in July last, is still open for
the RECEIVING and FORWARDING of all kinds of
Goods, Wares, Merchandise, Machinery, Produce, Ike.
If you want your goods forwarded without the vexa
tious delays and enormous expense bil.s paid the last
season, and at the same time have your business done
in such a manner that somebody will be made respon
sible for the damaged and lost packages, consign them
to TIN LEY t HERRON, who have Keceiveuand For
warded all Coods consigned to them during the past
season without any extra charge over those establish
ed rates as given below, and up to this time have not
encountered a solitary complaint.
Our Mr. Herron was Clerk of the Receiving and For
warding Department of the South Carolina Railroad for
the past seven years, and is perfectly familiar with all
their books, freight tariffs ami rules of shipment, both
by railroads and vessels, together with the mode of
procedure to secure damages and pay for lost articles
from other parties, the nroner stens of which will be
taken in all such cases without loss or delay to the
owners. Another important advantage is that his
taJrbugh knowledge of all freights and rules of ship
ment, enables him instantly to detect and correct any
overcharge in the bills of lading, which in all cases
has to be done at that time, or be lost to the owner, in
many instances greatly exceeding the commissiops we
charge. He was also raised in Charleston, is perfect
ly acclimated, and free from the contagions of that
city, therefore we will under all circumstances faith
fully discharge any business entrusted to us.
All produce, such as Wheat, Flour, Corn, Corn Meal
Bacon, Lard, Butter, Eggs, Cotton, Rice, Rye, Oats,
Hay, Tobacco, Wool, Feathers, Beeswax, Potatoes,
Omons, tic, consigned to us, will be promptly sold
and proceeds returned, without keeping the money a
few months to speculate upon ; for we wish it distinct
ly understood that we engage in no speculation what
ever, all that we want is our commission, as follows :
For Receiving and Forwarding all ordinary packa
ges of goods, 10 cents; large packages of tWniture
and machinery, charges according to responsibility.
Iron and steel in loose bars, 10 cents per hundred lbs ,
and storable for advancing freights, and charges 2i
per cent, which you can save by depositing the money
with us; for selling produce 2$ per ctnt. We will
also till all orders in this market, making the best se
lections for our patrons, at 5 per cent.
