RALEIGH, IV. C, WEDNESDAY, SEPTCJIBEIt 18, 1843. Formgn CorrenponaW of the N. Y. Tribune. A Chapter on Beggars, Italy,-May, 1813. 1 date my letter fiom Italy, because I write of all Italy, for the beggars belong to the whole country. There are various classes, some only occasional beggars, made so by the liberality of foreigners. Finding it is ofttn but tu ask to receive, they will stop in the minds of their work and beg for i mere fraction of a sous. But your regular professional beggar is known in a moment, lie has been accustomed to hear no and par no- more attention to it than if lie did not hear it. He knows that perseverance con quers vall things, and that every man will give liall a cent to be ltd of his importunity The niodo of begging varies according to the temperament of the beggar. There is one perhaps minus both legs, who is perfect ly conscious that his condition, as he sits helpless on the pavement at your feet, ap peals to your sympathies stronger than his language, and simply holds his tattered hat out as you pass. I know one such who has acquired quite a property. Then there is your dramatic beggar who makes himself kmer than he is, or rolls his blind eyes so as to give his most revolting aspect and appeals to yon in language and in voice most touching and pathetic, jlc will lull you of his large family and their starvation, and ask you for the love of God to give him one single copper. A third fluticrs you, calling you a beautiful gentle man, and heaping on you title sufficient to satisfy the most ambition. I have often met an old woman of this class, who smiles on me with most peifect good humor, and throwing her head on one side coaxes me with such a tone and so many compliments that I find my hand in my pocket before I know it. Then there is your graceless, ngged little urchin, who wl crack his jaw and turn somersets till you really think he deserves a penny. No matter how strongly you resolve at first Against encouraging the litde rascal, after he has worked himself out otTreath in tumbling for yrth, and comes up smiling ami demands only a quarter for it all, it does seem stingy 'not to give. You may have told him to stop ana go away a dozen times; it matters not such is our na ture, that if a man will play for you, we feel we ought to pay him. I here is another class that, concious of having no particular claims in themselves upon your charity borrows a wretched babe or child, whose misery will plead for them. Sometimes you meet a jolly beggar, but him yon may immediately put down as a beggar of fortune. Life with him has not been failure. Me is none of your disappointed men. m His business has always been at thriving and he feels as he acts, right kindly towards you and all mankind, and why should'nt he! He has a little property a- nwsscil "from Ihelf rarTTfTaMTiels settlr e against a "rainy day." I used to meet such a one to the Fincian hill in Rome. He was a large fat fellow with withered legs, so that he walked on his hands and-knees alone. In the morning he would be down in the heart of the city, but toward evening he stationed himself on the last landing up the long flight of stairs that lead tu the hill, and as you ascended, advanced on all fours to the edge, and looking for all tjie world like a largo mastiif, and showing a most beauti ful set of teeth, addresses you like a familiar his arms as if lie had no intention whatever of friend with "Rood day sir." "It is fine J leaving me, and begged on. This was a weather to-day," or "it looks like rain.' as j regular set to, and I looked on him With the ease may be. He was a targe, fine perfect astonishment. At length the car looking man, and it was hard to resist drop- riage drove up, and I asked my friend for ping a penny into his hat. He struck my j some copper. He had none Well," said fancy amazingly and I would often stop and . I, "give him a cayline-" He tossed it lo talk with him. j him, but he never smiled, though he seized Oneday I asked him how much he took i per day. "Oh," he said, "10 or 12 cents." "Ah now," I leplied, "don't try to deceive me Tor J am a good friend, I shall give yon just as much; I won't tell any body; I wwt to know merely from curiosity." "Well,, he said, "half a dollar a day and often more." This here is equal to a dollar at home. This was certainly good wages when it cost him but a fsw pence per day to live. "But," he added 'this is only during the seison when the strangers visit Rome. In the summer 1 take very little." lie then gave ma a long hisior of himself and of a donkey he owned, which he said was fas tened above on the hill' to ride home on when the day's work was finished. This man owned or 3 houxet. He seemed to con sider me a sort of confederate after he told ine his circumstances, and if I happened to be pasting up behind anothei staneer, who refused to give him alms, ha would tip me a wink and smile and expect his copper from, me. So much for the beggars, and pow for the mode of riding one's self of them without bestowing alms, for it would impoverish prince to give to all and every time they s. I have tried various methods, but find scarcely no rule univejsal. Threats are quite useless-, for they know you cannot find tt. your heart to cane them, and if you " you will most eeitainlv erive them a pen ny to pay for Jw.They wril dodge it, it is true but not retreat.

It is to say first "nienie," and if they persist repeat it again and waive two fingers of the hand before yonr fore head. When they see this they will almost invariably stop, look at you a moment, and quietly withdraw. If you are in carriage you can let them run their breath out, though some of them are wpnderfull v long winded and then they are sura to abuse you at the end. A little girl once chased the carriage in which I rode for more than a mile. I had not a particle of small change in my pocket, or I belive I should have given her some thing to have sent her away. She first plead with and of course did not believe me when I told her I had no small money. She then folded her little arms and prayed for me to the Madonna, and all the time run ning at the lop of her speed. Not succeeding in this, she heaped on me all the lilies-of nobility and epithets of praise the could command. The fail trial of each occupied" some time, ana when they all laileiLwM she was fairly tired out, she 'stopped, and with a most villanious look, called me a black guard. A tnan always hois change, and you would smile -to see me sometimes making change with a beggar. He will be sure to have not quite enough to give you back what you demand but if I begin I always insist on the last fraction expect a single penny I promised. The first time a beg trar offered to make change for tiie amused me exceedingly. I shall never forget a little urchin I saw at Pnpsrum. He wii Mipn nr!At t-mn old I should think, and had nothing on but an old ragged shirt; and a still older brown hat, that came down to his shoulders and (lapped its broad brim around his neck. He had a plump, but sallow, sickly face, over which a smite never played. I told him 1 had given it all away. He did not believe me, and (logging my footsteps with an importunity I had never witnessed, plead in a low, plaintive tone, Tor a single "grant. He annoyed me so much that I finally turn ed upon him with my cane and told him I would flog him if he did not leave me. This only increased his distance from me without checking his importunity. The carriage not being quite ready, I thought I would walk on The little scapegrace fol lowed me, and when I again turned and told him I had no grant, be said he would go and change -it for me, pointing to a group of pedlars that hau pitched their tents like A rabs on the plain, nnd were trading with the people from the mountain who thus came down once a week to exchange their com modities foi others. I dare not trust the feHow, though from what I have since seen, I am convinced he would have brought me back the money. I walked on. with the naked, shivering child behind roe, till I came to the outer wall of the city, where a few stones were still left td tell its course, and .sat down to wait for the carriage. The little fellow came on, and stopped as I stopped. I (old him I was afraid he was a Utile rascal and told me falsehoods. He said no -"I have no father or mother. They are both dead they died of the Malaria, and I have nothing to eat." Tired of standing he found a stone that fairly faced me; and sitting down upon it, deliberately crossed his bare legs, Hided it like a hungry man food. He even forgot to thank me till I asked him if he was not thankful, and he said "yes," with the same solemn immovable countenence. I was once on excursion with some friends who were very anxious to impress on some dozen beggars or more who sur rounded us at the hotel, a good moral less ors .Among the ragged group was a little girl who never asked for alms, but stood bo.-llj braiding straw. To this girl my friends vave a paul, but nothing to he oth ers, and ftn requseted me to tell them this was beeatm he wss industrious. I dio so, and read thim quite a lecture on the crime ol idleness. They were astonished, and rose and told k to their fellows, and one af ter another cam and looked on us in Derfect amazement. Myfiiendstlooked quite digni- neo at me wnoieme truth they had incul cated oy tne very oUicioos distribution of their charities. In be meantime I had no ticed the disappearAce 0r seveial of the company, who now returned one with a locking, which she wv knitting, most pe r everingly, another witb bjt 0f braided traw, all expecting, of cou,et reward for VJieir industry.

The shamelessnets with w hich they teg, thews how deep and almost hopeless is their degratlstioo.

To have a ragged li'ile girl come up to you and say in pUintive accents i am miserable, i am uyinn tor ine want of bread; oh, for the love of God, give me one penny," would unman you. Itut this is all said in Italian, and said so often that you cease to notice it. There is no doubt that very many of them suffer deeply. In times of pestilence they furnish food for it. In a severe winter they are without fire and clothing. They alinott universally carry sad and desponding countenances as if life had for them no promise. Wandering among the ruined temples and under the shadow ol the galleries of art, they keep up and heighten the strong contrasts that meet you at every turn in this country. Like the kings, they are to have their "en- traces and exits," and go to swell the sum of human life and human woe. I hey are liv ing perpetual monuments of the working of the present system oi society, uttering tiuin-pet-tongucd to manliis folly" and his wicked nets. But, proud and selfish, those who have the power will grasp the wealth, and the weak starve and die. Thus ii h rve'f been, and thusfc wilfbe, till society is groun ded in rhflernt principles. Hut the moan of the voice of (he beggar, like the thunder battle, have become accustomed sounds, and whether man will ever change the system on(which it all rests or not God only knows. The ages move, working out tome result, and time will tell. II. BUSTLE AN IMPROVEMENT.

Spare minutes are the gold dust of time; and Young was writing a true, at well as a striking Tine, when he affirmed that 'Sands made the mountain, and moments made the year. Of all the portions of our life, the spare minutes are the most fruit ful in good or evil. They are gaps through which temptations find the easiest access to the garden. Brougham says : "If a child is neglec ted until six years of age, no subsequent education can recover it. . If to this age he is in ignorance nnd dissipation, in baseness and brutality, in that vacancy of mind which such habits create, it is vain to try to reclaim it by teaching it reading und writing. You may teach it what you choose afterwatdi, but if you hare not prevented the formatinn of badhuhitt, you will teach in vain. With children under the age ofsixyears, learning school learn ing should not be the chief consideration, but the formation of moral principle." , A GO BETWEEN. I There is perhaps no more od out char acter in the world than a go-between, that creature who carries to the ears of one neigbor every injurious observation that happens to dro from the mouth of, another. Such a person is the slanderer's herald, and it altogether more odious than the aladerer himself. , , FRANKNESS. Be frank with the world. Frank-1 eta is I lie child of honesty and cour age.
