Baltimore Wu. H . Piaki and Wm. Thomson MISCELLANY. . STAVOltEN,' A LEGEND OF THE GLIDER ZEE P.lore than six bundred years ago, 'Stavoren occupied the first rank among the commercial cities of Hollandj ... The -!iips of her merchants traversed .eVery sea, and brought to her safa . harbor the ctioicest productions of every clime. ? A trade so extensive raised the pros- .pcrityol tlie city to an unprecedented htiglit. I rue, there we're here, its eve rywncre, many poor persons, among tle inhabitants, yet the numbef of the licit greatly' preponderated. Luxury and fcplendor, the usual accompaniment? ot reat riches increased rapidly from v i foolish pride witli which each ci . . e a iu'.cii strove to excet . ins neienoor ta pomp and in magnificent and cosily en te iaiumcnis. Accoranig to trauiiion , . there were ihany houses built like pala ces, their, interiors decorated -with the 'most superb wainscoting, tapestried with the. richest stuffs, filled with the 'rarest furniture, and the doors ornamented with precious metals instead of iron. Now none of the merchants ofSta voren could bo compared in wealth with the lady Ilichberta. Fortune ' whicli crowned all her undertakings with the most ci mpicfe anu sometimes unnopeq lor success appeared esuous of lllus tratfng m her to what extent she could Ijvit-h her gifts zthd how long bestow her smiles upon a riorta!.: If the ships ot tuis female merchant were sent to the most distant countries, they always returned not only with the richest gams, - but with costly wares, ornaments, pearls , and j-jwtls, which were fftade to shine in the palace, and bedec the gorgeous ' dresses of their faif possessor.- Such unprecedented fortune Itichber- ta could not bear with that equanimity which alone could enable her really to enjoy it And It ft be true,- as some i'o says, that greaf misfortune is more easily borne than immediate prosperity, Ilichberta was destined to furnish a proof of the correctness of this assertion. I Jut pride kept pace with the increase of her treasures, and she lowed it as much in her contempt for her fellow beinj'3, as in the extravagant and costly banquets which she gave, less for diver sion and enjoyment than that the guests might wonder at the ever varying splen dor of her apartments. At one of these intoxicating and ener getic festivals, which offer nothing to the soul and leave tho heart empty, a strange puest was announced to Rich . Lcita. lie .said that he had come from a Treat distance, had seen the lands of rmny Lings and the splendor of their courts, and had come now, to admire al : ) Ilichberta's wealth, concerning which i " o had borne wonderful reports to his car. - ; , , -, ." TliC flattered lady invited the stran r r to cat by her side. He appeared a t ..'A vigoro' s old man, in his picturesque ccp ;nr.no cf , the East. His deportment ,was dignified and noble, and he ap proached the hostess, expecting,. from her Inn I the welcome which,'-accord-irg to t!io costume of his owu land, is symbolically tendered to the guest by the c.Ter of bread and salt, &C. But is o bread was to be found on her luxo i. jus tableswhich groaned under the t of rare and enticing viands, and hi lt lh o simple food of poverty ,i f nu:0.r took his seat in silence, while refreshing himself , spoke '.! and learnedly ot his travels 1 end f t, c f di tnt people and i --i.n:rr, !.h cdv " : it"?, his ..joys ' , cf T .Lhablenetw - .x 1 and : . i.tccustancy. ay. to praise her wealth, and the splendor o; ner banquet, and to institute such coin paiisons as wouid only furnish' fresh food -for her pride. ' But he remained silent upon that subject .until at length after being questioned by the hostess herself, he admitted that he ; bad found such magnificienceand lavisbness only among Kings : but concluded Dv savin that it seemed on that account 4 he more strange to him to find wanting here the best and v noblest thing the earth pro duced. ' ; .' - In vain they importuned the stranger to explain his meaning; he remained si lent, and - when the questions., became too pressing, departed and was nor seen a gam. v ' . .-. ,. -;; ' -, is- ;r - - -- . - -: The pride aud curiosity of Richberta were excited, and from that time allow ed her no rest. She possessed ' every ttnng costly Which the tongue 1 could name, or the earth and sea produce, or conceal in their depths; could she stil lack the best of all 1 1 She "questioned sages and soothysayers, consulted rflag- lcians and interpreters of dreams-: but none could mention a thing She had not already long possessed . ' i'hen in her restless longing s for the unknown and inestimable treasure,' she ordered Shins to be fitted out which should explore all ' seas and lands, and not return until it should be discovered. Her admiral, entrusted with this diffi cult ' commission, turto sea, undeter mined whither to direct his course A part of his ships he sent to the most dis tant seas of the "East an 5 West, while he committed - his own lo the guidance or the winds. jNot it (so happened that the water entered the vessel through a leak; and spoiled part of their .provis sions: and although there was no lack of meat, wine aud other articles of lux ury, yet the. soon severely felt fhe loss of their bread and meal which had be come unpalatable; - mLnis strait ine commander, was not long in discovering what ; should bt considered the best ana most precious a a ' gift to man: not, the viands and spices ot India not pearls from the bottom of the sea nor gold from the deepest mines ot the mountains but the simple, unir versa! gift of nature tndtsnensable. ines timable, - nourishing and quickening Dread. ' .- - - . ' Now, two, he understood the mean itig of the mysterious words, spoken by me stranger at the least, and his reso lution was soon made. He steered to a haven of the Eastern seas, and there took a full lading of the finest wheat, with which he ailed back to Stavoren As soon as ho arrived he went to Rich - berta, who did not- expect him so soon, and informed her that he now km-w wti3t was the best and most'precious of all good things; he had found . it aud brought it in abundance. He then re lated lo the astonished lady how he made the discovery,- and that the mys terious guest could only have meant bread, aud that he therefore believed he had properly executed his commis sion. - - ,r But Richberta was not of the' same opinion, one cast an angry glance ut the astonished sailor, and with difficul ty restraining an outburst of rage, asked him from which . side the ship the car go was taken on board. He answered, from the right side. .Now, then', cried she, with '". haughty mien,' "I command that the whole cargo be immediately thrown over from the left side into the sea." . . .;. :.'-v. - . .

The bottom received the cargo, and the graiu became a crop oC destruction. Sprouting and shooting up in the tatid, arid continually covered with new earth, appeared a forest of stalks, without ears of grain, rising higher and higher, in an unnatural growth, till it reached the surface; and as it pressented. an obsta cle to the moving particles of mud. there was formed before the .harbor of Sta Voren an .immense; bar ' which mor tal power could not break through. The numerous ships of the, city, and among them, those of Richberta, could no louzer find an entrance fo the part. and were ; sacrificed to the fury of the waves. -Trade and health rapidly de clined, and frequent' reverses brought the proud woman, from her pinnacle of plendor and prosperity to such a degree of want , aud misery that she was even forced to teg lor bread.

THE WESTERN. VISITERS, Wash i noto, July 22,1857. About y ocipcK, yesterday 'morning a specia train of cars from Baltimore broughi to our . cuy me expected ;i rans-MOniane Visiters to the number of between two a ud three h und red. X They were escort Led hither by the committees of the Coun cils and citizens dispatched on Monday to Baltimore for the purpose. ' , ., On leaving the cars the visiters were met by the Mayor s of Washington, at tne nead ot numerous members of both Boards of the'uity luncits and d large Dody ot our - teflow-citizens. After be ing introduced the Mayor "of ' Wash ington addressed- the strangers substan tially as follows : i Gentlemen visiters from the Western Cities, in behalf, of .the Corporation and citi2ehs of met National Metropolis -1 welcome you to bur city. "I trust you win nna it in plan ana dimensions such as to constitute lit in your opinion not unworthy to be the capitol of so great a ccauitry: 5 It is youfsV and not ours ; it is for us to keep it for you and the w,hole people of the United States ;we claim it not for our own, but as the represen tati ves ot tne people pt the U nion. a 'e -r m . . v . - Hoping you may find in the - many ob jects ot interest it contains matter for in dividual pleasure and patriotic iratifica tion, I again welcome yon and hope that when you return i home you will think-: and. feel of us in such a way as will induce you to visit us again! : This welcome wa responded toby M r. Adams,- bf Chillicothe, who, in be half of those from his city and vicinity, returned his hearty thanks for the kind wrieomS thus extended. The Mayor oi w aslungton was right, he said, in calling the city of Washington -their own. It was such j they all felt it, and acknowledged the deep interest they have in its welfare.' Yon have here, said Mr. Adams, many objects of inter est. Here is the national Canitol : here are the national Executive official build ings : here you have , the Smithsonian Institute, and objects so numerous as to be difficult to name. We accept your nospitaiit with lively satisfaction, and thank you heartily.5 v - , ' ; air. Aldefman Kerchcval, of Cincin nati, having bee u asked to respond for the citizens present from Ciucmnatt and St. Louis, spoke of the delight experi' enced bv the party uhcu it was heard in Baltimore of the handsome invitation exteuded to; them from Washington, and of the manner in which their Wash ington friends had ; interposed for their pleasure. He thanked the ; Mayor of Washingtou and us citizens, n d ac cepted it in the- same cordial spirit in whwh it had been proffered. I he, party, then took places in the iuierous' stages awaiting them, and proceeded to the President's House- where, after parading t rough tbejfnan- sion and grounds, tbfiy tere joined by the President of the United States, who, in tne simplest, and most cordial man ner, received the numerous strangers presented to him by the Mayor, charm ing ail by his affability and tins ndied friendliness of speech and manner. Tiie party then visited the Patent Office, the Capitol, aud the Smithsonian Insti tution, when two o'clock having arrived they all frund themselves oir board the steamer George Washington, oh. the way to Mount Vernon, where re nose the re mains oi hirh who in life; in death, and in posterity's memory still stands "first in the hearts ot his countrymen." The trip was pleasant and a sotrthern breeze made it delightful; ' "Arrived at the sacred spot, the ladies and gentlemen of the party first showed now tneir aflecuons gravitated by re pairing direct to "the. tomb," and then, scarcefy able to' slake the intensity of their interest by actual vision, thy mu sed rn silent contempfatroii.
