Death or TTwirn WamtwiSght.—The
deatb -tf- tfchs eatisaabic prelate, calls forth
from the New Yndc-ywa *. general expres-
sion of regret as well as a warm tribute to
v*— discretion andooa-.
Bishop Wainwright wasf
a> in the year 1793, and,
fe a"«tild, his father, a respectable
, iemoved to the United-States with
his {unify. He iQMHred his classical cduea-
tion at Harvard University, Cambridge,
Massachusetts, and immediately after taking
his degree, became a candidate /or hoi; or-
ders in too Protestant Episcopal Church.
Ordained as Deacon by Bishop GriswolS in
St. John's Chuch, in l^ioTidenee,- R. i, he
was boo* called, to the raoUrshipof Christ
Church, in Hartford, Connecticut, where he
was ordained by Bishop Hobart. He ailer-
wards became Assistant Minister to Trinity
Church, in Hartford, and. thenee removed to
the parish of"tJraee Church,, in New York.
From that city he was transferred to Trinity
Church, Boston, and rwas snbseqaently ro-
called to New York td befcdme an Assistant
Minister of Trinity Church. About fhis
time-In received the degreeofDoctor of
Divinity, first from Union College, and after-
wards from his Alma Mater at-Cambridge.
The University ef Oifotd, England, also
conferred upon Dr. Waiawright the honora-
ry degree of Doctor of C%il Law, In 1852
his election as Provisional Bishop of the
Diocese of New York closed the controversy
which had grown out of tho deposition of
Bishop Pnderdonk. He was consecrated on
the lOtfesof October, 1352, and immediately
entered upon his arduous duties with an ear-
nestness w mrfpoee, and untiring devotion
seldom equalled. j
The loss of this venerable expounder of
the Word of God will be severely felt, not
only by the particular denomination of which
he was a bright and shiaing light, but by the
whole Christian world of the North Ameri-
can continent generally. ■ fife was, in all re-
spects, eminently worthy of the high position
he occupied,ior he was learned, able, eloquent,,
devoted and persevering in enforcing the
preeepts and practices of his Heavenly Mas-
ter, and ever labored, from morn till evening,
to do ootid', and nothing but good. No one
eoold near bim preach, or converse-with him
five minutes, without being convinced of the
fervent-smcerify' and earnest honesty with
which ite pursued his exalted and holy call-
Socurics.

The Grlnhkh. Aacnc Expedition.—
The second expedition sent out by Henry
Grinnell, Esq., to Jthe Arctic Seas, under
the oomnand of Dr. Kane, was last heard
from on the23dof July, 1853, when he was
at Uppernavie, en tin West coast of Green-
land-;'Dot he 1b expected to report himself in
New Yorkint^ coarse of next month. The
New Toil Journal of Commerce says :
Should he be. not heard from at that time,
it will BS surmised that he has decided upon
spending another winter at the North. He
eould not remain there longer than the first
of September, if he designed returning this
season, as at thai 'period ice commenced
forming Very rapidly.
It was hi^j^an at Jast>%p$oanjts to proceed
as Cur North in bis ship, tlu& Advance, as Ibe
ice WObW permit, during the fall, next ensu-
ing. He Wonld then proceed with a portable
boat and au ample supply, of Mores, to estab-
lish a depot at a remote northern point; and
subsequentlyto penetrate to the meet extreme
jpsiit- accessible. Even should he obtain no
clue to the musing English navigator, Sir
John Eraaklm, confidence is entertained
that witk his rare seieatifa attainments and
facilities for investigation, the expedition
can rmot be wHhout important results.
It i^ expected, in tin - course of a few weeks,
information will be received from Capfc. Ingle-
SclJ and all the other English vessels now in
♦im North Seas.—Gal. Journal.

ter,^ Philadelphia, was nominated foP
Assembly a few day3 ago, bni declined the
honor, assigning, among other reasons, the
following: -vl believe in the sanctity of an
oath, and that it is not to be violated for a
pecuniary consideration, and I regard legis-
lation as too solemn and sacred to be sold to
order, m ordinary commodities are. As my
notice* of honor and honesty would deprive
me of the prineipah revenue of legislators^
to-wit: bribery,) I should receive but three
icllars per day for the one - hundred days,
and the very «raestionabl& honor of being a
Pennsylvania legislator—a title which (if
the press of this city is to be believed,) is
synonymous with villain."

—or pretend to know—everything, that' all
matteorin contjQTersy between our Govern-

cably adjusted: Negotiations, it is said, are
now pending between the Minister, Mr.
£ramptoo, and the Cabinet at Washington,
whiek contemplate an indemnity for the de-
struction ef the property of British subjects at
Grey town. The despatch of LoH Clarendon,
eonuaunie^ed by Mr. Cnpnpton to Secretary
Maroy, is stated to be very mild. The Brit-
ish lord is not disposed to be savage towards
the United States, at least while there is so
much to be done in the East.—Galveston

Hk got him on the Wool.—" Look a
hea, nigger, whar you swellin' to ?" was the
unceremonious salutation of a sable colored
• gentleman to aa excruciatingly dressed dar-
key, whose complexion was not many shades
removed from that of a recently polished
stove pipe, as the latter " pusson " made a
graceful swing frota the promenade on Fourth
atreet, where he had been exhibiting himself
for a couple of hours, to the envy of the
" bucks," and the fascination of a score of
•< miss <p Tb," into McAlister street.
" Whoo-'MX) you call nigger, sah ?" was
the isdignant; response, with a majestic
roll of u pair of eyes with a great deal
of white and very little of any other color in
them.
" Why, T call you nigger," was the flat-
sootod rf-iideation of "sable-color," as he
cognised in "Stove-pipe" a gemman who.
two years ago, exercised his genins about
town in the white-washing and boot-black-
ing line, but who, since that time, had been
«abroad," and cultivated a moustache and
for 2?ealire.
« £ow me to inform you, sah, dat you is

"Yea^you is a nigger—nuifin bat a nig-
ger; but if you aint a nigger, what is you V
" I'b a Qnateroon, sah."
"A what!" ?
"I's a Qnateroon, sah."
" How you git to be a qttaterooon ?"

"I git dat fey a—by a-a-a accidum on my
mudder's side, sah." (Stove-pipe slightly
confused.)
"Now, how you git dat wool on your
mudder's ride if your mudder was a white
woman—say, how you git dat wool ?"
" Because she got frightened before I was
borad."
" H5W she git frighten—eh?"
"Why, she git chased by a black man,

" Look a hea, nigger, I doesn't want to be
pnssonal, but from de 'pcaranco ob vour

time your mudder was chased by a black
man, she was overtooked."

SOS'S CELEBRATED TEXAS BITTERS will give
tone and action to the stomach, and promote diges-
tion. They are entirely vegetable, and will, in all
cases, renovate the whole system, and give health
and vigor to the frame. Persons of sedentary lia-
bita should occasionally use them, as they will
prevent depression of the spirits.
Weak and delicate persons are made .strong by
using these Bitters; in fact, they are a family me-
dicine. that can be administered with perfect safe-
ty to a child, a delicate female, or an old person.
Persons visiting districts harrassed annually with
fever and agne, will, by a timely use of these Bit-
ters, escape this distressing disease. Prevention
i3 better than cure.
Full directions for their use will be found with-
in the wrappers about each bottle.
These Bitters require no certificates of remark-
able cures; the name of Dr. Joseph Robertson-,
as their patron, is a EufScient guarantee, he having
prescribed them for many years in his private prac-
tice, with the greatest success; and the demand for
them having increased to so great an extent, that
it has become necessary to manufacture them ex-
tensively for public distribution.
Persons who may wish to sell these Bitters, as
agents, will please address, F. T. DUFFAU,

tST THE TEXAS PILL! "iBa
ASA FAMILY MEDICINE, for the diseases in-
2\_ cidental to this climate, the Texas PHI
stands unrivalled, It is an anti-bilious prepara-
tion, possessing active properties, and so combined
with a tonic that prostration or debility does not
ensue. Tiie ingredients are selected with particu-
lar care (of the most undoubted quality) and tho-
roughly combined together. The recipe has been
submitted to several physicians, and approved of
by them: they give it a decided preference over
any of the northern preparations, which arc fre-
quently manufactured carelessly, on speculation, j
at different points in the middle and northern i
States, and each calculated as a cure for the several
complaints prevailing in that immediate locality.
This is a Texas medicine, and intended for Tex-
ians only. Prepared and sold by

SCHOOL BOOKS FOB THE MILLION!
JC3T ECLECTIC SERIES! "=©0
BEST AXD CHEAPEST SCHOOL BOOKS EVER PUBLISHED 1
The eclectic series of school books
projected by that well-known friend and ad-
vocate of popular education. Professor Wm. H. Mc-
Guffey, of the University of Virginia, whose life has
been .-viaiitin thc Wr-t and South; where liis ac-1
tive labors as a judicious instructor have gained
him the approbation of all lovers of a sound, prac-
tical, and progressive education. The Reading
Books bearing his name have been proved by ac-
tual trial, daily receiving the adoption and appro-
val of the most intelligent and discriminating
teachers of the land.
EhJ" Professor Pinneo, author of the Grammars,
for ten years a professor in Charlotte Hall Institute,
Maryland, as furnished iu the grammars bearing
his name, what are regarded by all who have exa-
mined them, as model text books of the English
language.
Professor Ray, from Wood county, Ya., one
of the most able mathematicians and practical in-
structors in the country, has snp2>iied what has
long been much needed-—a simple, progressive and
thorough scries of text books on Arithmetic and
Alirebra.
reading and spelling books.
McGuffey's Eclectic Primer, for little children.
McGuffey's Eclectic Frst Reader; lessons in
spelling and reading for the younger pnpils.
McGuffey's Eclectic Third Reader, for middle
classes, ehastc and instructive lessons in prose and
poetry.
McGuffey's Fifth Reader (Rhetorical Guide,) a
rhetorical guide for the highest classes.
The Heman's Reader, for female seminaries;—
elegant extracts in prose and poetry.
The above Spelling aud Reading Books have few
equals and no superiors; which is evinced by the
fact that in schools where they were, for a time,
superceded by the-novelty of other books, McGuf-
fey's have been re-adopted to the exclusion of all
others, experience having proved their practical
utility in the school room; and in view of the
large amount of matter they contain, and the low
prices at which they are sold, they are very much
cheaper than any other similar works.
ENGLISH GRAMMAR.
Pinneo's Primary Grammar, on the analytic me-
thod ; a complete work for beginners in the study.
Pinneo's Analytical Grammar; a full and com-
plete treatise, for academies aud schools.
Pinneo's English Teacher, in which is taught the
structure of sentences by analysis and synthesis;
an admirable work on the analysis of English sen-
tences.
Professor Pinneo's works are model class books
on the subject of English Grammar. The study,
usually dry and uninteresting to learners, is ren-
dered in these volumes attractive and interesting.
They are strikingly simple, progressive and tho-
rough in their plan and arrangement, and enable
pupils to become good grammarians. They are the
cheapest works of the kind published.
ARITHMETIC.
Ray's Arithmetic, part first; simple lessons for
the little learner. *
Ray's Arithmetic, part second; a complete text
bookin mental arithmetic, by induction and analy-
~~ ~~~ " • , 7' •
Ray's arithmetic, part third; for schools and
academies, "a full and complete treatise on the in-
ductive and analytic methods of instruction.
Numerous and skilftfl instructors regard the
arithmetics of Prof. Ray the most simple, progress-
ive, methodical and thorough class books on the
subjcct ever before offered to American teachers;
and they are at least twenty per cent, cheaper than
other arithmetics of like size aud of an equal ani't
of matter.
These volumes are the result of a practical ex-
perience in teaching; and they are prepared in
compliance with the solicitation of many friends of
education, who were cognizant of the marked suc-
cess of their author as an instructor.
algebra.
Ray's Algebra, part first; for common schools
and academies; a simple, progressive and element-
ary treatise.
Ray's Algebra, part second, for advanced stu-
dents in academies and for colleges; a progressive,
lucid, and compebensivc work.
The great excellence of Ray's Arithmetic war-
ranted the expectation that an Algebra by the same
author would be an improvement on all similar
treatises. Ray's Algebra has the approbation of
the most judicious educators, and is superseding
all others in many of the best schools in the United
States.
Each part of the Arithmetical Course, as weH as
the Algebraic, is a complete book in itself, and is
sold separately.
All the foregoing books haye been compiled ex-
pressly for the Eclectic Educational Series. Their
authors are practical teachers—men of acknow-
ledged ability and learning, who have long been
identified with, and have labored constantly for
the advancement of the cause of education.
The several books embraced in this series are
admitted, because of their merit, the excellent
style of their manufacture, and the quantity of
matter contained in them, to be the cheapest class
books pnblished in the UnU^-P'.i'e".
In Virginia, Maryland, C ;rolina. Kv«'t> > i
nessee, Georgia, Alabama Louisiana, and oilier t
States, the entire Eclectic M-i ic- is being adopted j
in the best schools, inprefi — to other books.—
