I was prevented by indisposition from attending. I tinder. stand lhat an honor of this kind has never oeen pud to a foreign minister. But the Peruvians may well rejoice. Had the United .States persisted in pro tecting the Guano speculators in getting the article from the Lota, the value of the Chincha guano which forms lhe sole revenue of this eovernment would have sunk one half, and her credit would have been prostrated. The Lobos are es timated to contain two millions ol tons. which at thirty dollars -per Ion. is sixtv millions of dollars. The combined effect of the loss of this great property and the depreciation of the Chincha guano would bave been national bankruptcy ; an im mediate overturn of tho government, and a series of bloody revolutions. With the turn things bave now taken. the prosperity f .Peru is assured. Kbi wilh now go ahead rapidly. The euano deposits are inexhausli ble, and as a great care is taken under government suspervi sion, to regulate their removal, confining the operations to certain spots, so that the birds may not be frightened awny from others, this 'smgirfaf source of. revenue is- renewed as fast as it is exhausted. From henceforward Peru shoots a long ahead of all i be other South Amercan States on the Pacific coast ; tind a she feels that she owes this to the magnanimity of the United States in retracing a hasty step, her gratitude is unbounded. It wilt give us a lasting influence in her councils. The Peruviac gorernment is behaving very handsomely toward the vessels char tered for guano." Reply from Mrs. Tyler.wifeof Ex Pre sident Tyler, to the Duchess of Sutherland. The Richmond Enquirer, publishes a reply to the Stafford House ladies from the pert of Mrs. Tyler, wife of ex Presi dent Tyler. It is written with considera ble spirit, andmuch earnestness, and takes the ground that il would be best for these noble ladies to attend to the objects of distress in their own immediate neighbor hood. ' She asserts, without hesitation, what we have no doubt is true, that the Stafford House affair was the production. not of tbese ladies, but of- their husbands, wbostf political opinions are well known. add that its object" was. Probably, without their knowledge, oi a character entirely political It is well known, she says, that ibere is but one rock upon which the Un ion can be wrecked, and that is the very one upotv which these ladies are stiriving to impel it.

All this must hap pen on the sole condition that our Union continues, and to break it asunder is the only means left to prevent the inevitable consummation. It is to this end that the efforts of their husbands have been direct ed, and to effect this object that they have made them cats-paws', in the present im pertinent, unhallowed, and unprincipled enterprise. v-'v vy rs.

The office of ibe Society, in Piune street, wa absolutely besieg ed during ibis morning by hundred of women who were crowding into the building, clustered about lhe door and windows, and eagerly in. tading every point, back and front, by which access lo ibe office could be obtained.

Household Duties. From variety of i causes, nojwog is more common man to find American women , who bave not the slightest idea of household duties. A wri ter thus alludes to this subject: fin this1 neglect of household cares,' A merican women stand alone. A German lady, no matter how lofty her rank, never forgets that domestice labours conduce to lhe hentlh of bedjrutid mind alike." An EnglUh-lady, whether she be only gen tleman's wife or a duke's, dors not de spise the household, and even though she has a housekeeper, devotes a portion of her time to this, ber true, ber happiest sphere. It is reserved for our republican fine ladies to be more choice that) even their monarchicaland aristocratic sisters. The result is a lassitude of mind, often as fatal to health as lhe neglect of bodily ex ercise. A be wile who leaves ber house hold cares to servants, pays the penalty which has been affixed to idleness since the foundation of the world, and either wilts away from enui, or is driven into all sorts of fashionable follies, to find employ ment for her mind." j .A Passing Thought. We believe the following has been published in our col umns once before, but it will bear repeti tion : " Rothschild is forced to content himself with tbe same bky as the poor newspaper writer, and the great banker cannot order a private sunset, or add one ray to the magnificence of night. The same air swells all lung. Each o.ie possesses, re ally, only his own thoughts and his own senses, soul and body these are the pro perty which a man owns. All that is val uable, is to be had for nothing, in this world. Genius, beauty and love are not bought and sold. You may buy a rich bracelet, bnl not a well turned arm to wear it a pearl necklace, not a pretty throat with which it-shnU vie. The richest bank er on earth would vainly offer fortune to be able to writeja verse like Byron. One comes into the! world naked, and goes out naked the difference in the fineness of a bit of linen for a shroud is not much. Man is a handful of clay, which turns quickly back again into dust." 1 TABLE UAPIMNG, &c. , It has become very popular among tbe young people of our City, to have what ibey call, a table walking.

A writer in Cham bers's Edinburg Journal thus details them: " About a hundred years ago a lady went about with shoes that raised her heels three inches aboVe the floor, and threw her whole person out of its proper balance, occasioning, of course, a severe strain up on certain muscles, attended by constant pain. A little later, a tower of hair, po matum, flour, pins, and pinnrtrs had been reared upon the bead, such as an inquis itor might have considered himself very ingenious in devising. In more recent times we nave seen tne entire sex sun mit'ing to torture in the waist, with an equal degree of magnanimity. Or taking the form of a monstrous prolongation of skirts, tbe fair martyrs as scavengers up on every street jn which they promenade.
