From the New York Sunday Mercury. short Patent sermon. BY DOW, JR. This delightful spring-time has suggested the words of my text; and J have conclu ded to preach upon ibis occasion from the following: TVhat is love? My hearers although this is a subject that has engaged the attention of the great est minds; and one too, over which the! most gifted heads have poured their subli-j mest strains, ever since the birth of Eve-J still it remains a profound enigma. It is a I something wide as immensity, beautiful,! and terrible, and like all o'her magnets, cannot be comprehended. It is a wild I ungovernable passion, and lives like the rude child of the forest, tameless, untamed. Il is the g'orious ebulition of our immortal nature all the warm, wild sympathies of the human heri. concentrated and poured out, in one bolJ and uuabating stream Beware lest you get entangled in its mesh es. You may fall in love just as easily as a man fall" down stairs; or as slick as your heels will fly up of a frosty morning and it will stick to you as the shirts of Nessus: or wax on a warm day. It has led minds captive that have shook the world. It has caused prelty girls to weep until their eyes were red as topi r's noses and soap-locked dandies to commit suicide or what is worse get drunk. If all the sighs it has caused were gathered, and uttered in one long sorrowful piteous, thunder-moan, it would shake down the Andes. My friends it will make you romantic, and you will fee rnore beauty, and loveliness in all nature. You will love to wander by the pale light of the moon to listen to the murmurs of rivulets and watch the stars, as they per form their eternal dances in the sky. No other passion is any more to be compared ,0 it, than the feeblest taper to those till fires that blaze on, unconsumed in the hea vens or the dullest hours, to the rapture green eighteen feels with his Dulcinea hug ged so close to him, that you could not get a knife blade between them.

Far'lessdo I envy the man whose heart is impervious to the arrows of the blind baby god he must have a heart with no more feeling than his boot heel. Hut my friends I trust you will not endorse such unphilo sophical sentiments, so long as the memory of a father's blessings, a mother's kindness, or a sister's love, awake a single emotion wnhin you never whilst you cherish the scenes of childhood, or love tin; green spot of your birth never whilst you recollect when you pressed the idol of" our bosom: how your heart jumped in your breast, like a rat in an empty barrel. There is h anno 11 y, and love, in all nature; in every thing thai greet the .senses, in the wide world in every blade of grass in every green thing under heaven. We see it iii the lu rid 1)1 izeof tlie lightning; and the tail of the firefly. We hear it in the rippling stream, and the wild, profound, eternal, bas, of the great ocean in every noise from th -smallest perceptible by the air, to the coarse bunder voice of God in the sky; without it the world would be d .11, monotonous, hate ful, .1 world-u ide desert without a single green spot, big enough to pasture a gose. There is love in the zephyr, as it laves the levered brow, with its breath sweet as the gales of Edn, and athc cheek of the mai den, that has only ielt the delightful bree zes of 16 summers. Now it whispers to the ear in tones sweet as an iEolian harp, and anon in a voice touching as the wail of a broken heart. Wc hear it in the glad songs of the birds; and borne upon the car of imagination, we can listen to it as it rings forth from the silver harps of the redeem ed. It burns in the bosom of God it glories in the breast of Angels and warms the heart of man. So mote it be Pattern Set t lenient .The Elenton Sentinel says there is a small, secluded dis trict named 'Croatan,' on the coast of N Carolina, separated from the main land by marshes and the Croatin Sound, which i believed to be without a parallel on the globe. It contains about one hundred and fifty inhabitants; nearly all are members of the Methodist ( lunch, and assemble for wor-hip every Sabbath; there are but two wno dunk arrlent spirits I here is not aj stoieor .shop, doctor, lawyer, or justice of: the peace, coroner, constable, or any othcri officer of any kind.

Hillings, who has been for many years a merchant of g od standing, and largely engaged in the droving business at Earlville, Madison county, New ork, eloped from that place a few days since in consequence of being detected in a wholesale system of forgeries to the amount of 12,000. Suicide. The Rev. Matthew Gambrell, a Baptist Minister of great respeciabillity and US' fulness, in Anderson Disir ct, South Carolina, lately committed suicide by hanging himself. It is said he was in sane at the timr he committed the act. The Highland Sentinel speaks of him in the highest terms. ib. Death of Missionaries. Mr. Cornelius Rogers, Mrs. Rogers, her sister Aurelia Leslie, Squire Crocker, and two Clatsop Indians, were drowned, on the 1st of Feb ruary last, at the falls of the Wellameiie river, near the Methodist Mission, in the Oregon Territory. While passing ihe rapids above, the boat was accidentally car ried over the Falls. Mr. Rogers was a volunteer, bearing his own expenses. He married a daughter of the Rev. Mr. Les lie, of Ihe Methodist Mision, on the Wel lamette, and took up his residence near the mission. ib. Homicide. John Withenstine. a butch 1 1 er, in Spring Garden market, Philadelphia lost bis 1 1 1 e on Monday, by a blow Iron, George Widenor. No angry feelings exis ted between the party, and the blow was the result of "skylarking,' and striking in fon. Mr. VV., when he saw the condition ol his friend, sent for a physician, and on his death being announced, immediately gave himself up to the authorities. Killed by a Bear. A little girl in Can nonsburg, Pa., was killed by a bear a day or two since. The bear, which was a pet, was chained, and a party of children were annoying him with sticks and stones, at which he became enraged, and breaking his chain, seized a little girl and squeezed her to death. V difficult and remarkable opera dental surgery, successfully re tiou in formed in New York by Dr. A. C. Cas lle, is thus noticed in the Herald: " The case to which we alluded was that of Lieut. Shubrick, of the United States nny. This highly reputable officer, when in Florida, had ihe whole side of his face destroyed by a double charge of buck shot The upper and lower jaws of that ide were completely carried away, and a frightful wound produced, which, as may be readily conceived, left a most awful de formity. His accurate anatomical knowl edge and familiarity with all the resources of his art fortunately enabled Dr. C. to, re medy the effects of bis terrible accident completely. A piece of dental mechan ism, which admirably served as a subtitute ior the jaws and teeth, was inserted; the deformity almost altogether remedied; and the gallant officer is now able to masticate his fond without any difficulty, whilst scarcely a trace of the extensive injury re 111 j i 11s. " Suicide. Mr. Warren Stilwell, or this vil age, commuted suicide, by hanging himself, between 6 and 7 o'clock on Sun day morning last. To effect his purpose he procured a large rope, some twenty feet in length, and going into the third story of his tan housf, fastened one end of the cord to a post and the other about his neck, and threw himself from a front win dow, descending to within some eighteen inchesof the ground and until the slack of the rope was exhausted, twelve or fifteen feet. The noise of the fall attracted the attention of a young man in the vicinity, who perceiving what had happened gave the alarm and hastened to release the body; but life was already extinct the prodig ious jerk which was caused by the momen tum acquired from 50 fearful a leap having dilocated the neck. The deceased was about 33 years of age, and has left a wife and one child. Madison Co. (AT. V.) Obs. 1 French Bathing Place. Here there is a charming bay, shut in by towering locks and sheltered from the heavy waves 1 fiat roll upon the more exposed parts of the coast, " quibus omnis ab alto Erangilur, inque sinus scindt scse unda ted uctos. " The water is as clear as the brightest cluys tal, and through its azure depths the eye can discern the white sand that sparkles at the bottom. This constitutes the famous bathing place, and here the beau monde of 1 Bairi'z me to be seen, during the heat of the morning, executing their watery purpo ses; beaux and belles alike, sporting and fl .riing as though the sea were iheir native element. The ladies are dressed in the thinnest, linen garments, with gigantic hats of straw, as a pioteclion from the sun's rays. They are kept in a buoyant position by bladders passed under their arms, while expert bathing-men push them over the bay, by holding their feet with one hand and swimming with the other. I fancy your astonishment at this description; but 1 assure you it cannot be greater than was mine on my first introduction to this sin gular scene. It is upon such occasions that we feel we are among other people, differ ing essentially fj-om us, both in habits and sentiment. The day upon which I wit nessed this scene was brilliant in the ex treme, and as sultry as usual; of course, therefore, as you will readily believe, I made a point of joining this amphibious party. Having entered a booth for the purpose of equipping myself, my patience was sorely tiied by a fat Frenchman, who occu pied the whole attention of the assistant, by fitting on different dresses; many of which were Split by his exaggerated pro portions. In the course of half an hour, however, having shed my outer garments, 1 was arrayed in the regular aquatic dress, "if dress it might be called, that dresj had none.'' The nether robe did scarcely reach the knees; ,while the jacket, compo sed of ihe thinnest materials, was wholly guiltless of the sleeves. To confess the ruth, I certainly did feel somewhat awk vard at the idea of thus walking down to he sands, through a bevy of ladies sitting t work. Hut custom is a great reconciler jf scruples, so on I went; and as no one ippeared to take particular notice of my beagle vestments, my courage mounted, nd I entered the water and its band of ne-: reids with the most perfect nonchalance. I wis much amused at perceiving these fair enanis of the sea, as they floated and gam holed, acknowledging their several ac quaintance wilh as much ease and courtesy as they might have shown in the gardens of the Tuilleries. Paris'1 Letters of the Py renees. Front the Natchez Free Trader. Failure of the Mexican Seed Cotton in India. -John H. Ducker, Esq. of Franklin Co. Mississippi, has received a letter from Mf. Hawley, one of the Mis sissippi cotton planters, who went to India under the auspices of Captain Hailes, in the expedition set on foot by ihe British Gov ernment, to grow cotton in the East Indies Mr. Hawley's letter is dated at "Broach,' two or three days journey fiom Bombay, "24th November, 1842" having been nearly eight months in its transit from that distant region. Extract My Cotton at Combalture. last year, turned out much better than I expected it would when 1 wrote you. I made 229 pounds Mexican seed cotton per acre, and between 400 and 500 pounds per acre with the native coiton. The four A tnerican planters who went to Bengal, made only nine or ten pounds per acre; and the three planters who were hefe, near Bombay last year, made little or nothing, which proved to their satisfaction thai 'here Could be litile done here in improving-the growth of cotton. Wolfe and two of the McCulloughs, of our American par ty, were here last year; they started home last February. Their crops have failed again this year in Bengal. I arrived here on the 25t It of July, 1842. Dr. Burn, who was in charge of the cotton experiment here, had planted eight or ten acres, which had come up; I hae had it cultivated; it is now opening, and from its present ap pearance, I don't think it will make more bat twenty-five pounds per acre so I think the people of America Heed not Tear that India will ever make more cotton than it does at present. With the native cotton we Americans can make twice as much per acre as the natives can. We know that the Mexican cotton will not answer here! Next year I am going to plant na tive cotton only ; thus the whole enter prize will turn out nothing more or less than a great expense to the East India Company without benefit to any one. From the Globe. Q3The editor of the Cecil Whig, pub lished at Elkton, Md., shot Amos T. For ward, a member of the last Legislature of Maryland, on Wednesday last, and he died at 10 o'clock that night The editor of ihe Whig has sent to us a slip, slating that he is confined in jail for the murder, and re quests us to publish nothing- thai will op erate to bis detriment until we get "a fair and impartial statement;" which course we shall pursue. .- - (JThe Ohio statesman estimates th surplus amount of wheat, raised in that Sta,e the present year, after supplying their wants at twenty millions of bushels.

Dreadjnl Casnilty Lnst evening about half-past nine o'clock, a young girl named Eliza Hill, about sixteen years of age, met her death under sudden and most distressing circumstances, by falling from third story window of a house on the east side of Front street, a few doors below Spruce street.
