One of the English papers, received by the last packet, contains two or three columns of abuse of this country, based ii)on some numbers of the Louisville Journal. The texts were advertisements rcspeethtg slaves, and American news and opinions generally a sort of "picture of Yankees drawn by themselves." Vie return the compliment by quoting from a number of an F.nglUh paper, the fulloSving paragraph, which may be culled, with equal justice a "picture of the English, drawn by themselves." Honors of lransportfttion. Mr. M'Carthy delivered a lecture on transportation in the Tempt ranre Hall, Glasgow, on Saturday evening last. After a brief introduction, Mr.

M'Carthy said, that many persons, in their ignorance, committed crime purposely to be transported, Unfortunately boys had thrown their caps up in open Court, and huzzaed at the close of their sentence of transportation. "Hut, alas!" said tho lecturer, "how little they knew of the him. gcr, slavery, degradation, exile, dirt, sin, and tyranny, awaiting them! They little thought of the bayonet, the cai-o -nmc-tails, the lilootl-elot-ted triangle, leg -chains and handcuffs, the gory scourge, the iiigbt-w atch and bloodhounds, the chain-gang and gallows! Surely, if they did, I hey ould never rejoice." The emigrant is well led; the convict starved. The emigrant is respectably dressed; the convict all inuttled in various degrading colors. The emigrant has a bed the convict a cave or wooden bench.

The emigrant lias property and wages; tlie convict no wages; his sole property, an iron ring or a chain his leg. Wages? A military guard, and overlooker. Cold hall-baked dough of maize meal, the same as they feed cows and pigs with, and cold salt beef like a block, after it lias gone rouuJ the globs in her Majesty's men-of-war, and years old. Salt pork from Tahiti, tough as sole leather, and full of animalcuhc. Wages, indeed: The cats and triangle.

Wages are out of the question. When a convict ship reaches its destination, Iho unhappy company are marshalled on deck, chained in couples, guarded in bnat loads to the shore. They tire then tvken to a laigc barrack at Sydney or llobart Town; tlie government or colonial officers come in a body to examine these outcasts of their native soil; lite surgeon-com mander brings out a government paper for every man, called an indenture. This paper is under many heads; their namu or names, lmight, tije, country, color of hair, eyes, moles, marks, Low olten in jail, hat pails, what crime. I he governor stands Ivy, while his head officer holds this indenture in (lis hand, and asks his qucs.

lions from it. If the poor man should tell a falsehood, woe to his alter life. I'p to 1S5H, the convicts were hired out to settlers on their arrival; but their conduct was so bad, that now every man, whether a gentleman or otherwise, is compelled to work six months upon the government works, hich is for fifteen hours per dav. carrvini? stones or tinihcr. fellinir wood.

pushing heavy harrows, working on new roads, cleaning the bottom of the docks and harbor, up to the armpits in the Uite. When they push down their spades, the water covers their face: in using the pickaxe, they are wet to tho head. Tin arc mostly all fast to a large chain, to prevent their drowning; they dive and clear away for masons to build the new quays, Stc. Their food: 10J lbs. of maize pur week; 7 lbs.

of salt beef, mostly unfit for use, or dj lbs. of suit pork; 8 oz. of soap; 2j oz. of salt. No wages; no tobacco, nor any other comfort.

Clothes: grey cloth cap, broad arrow stamped on it grey trousers; short jacket, half yellow, half grey; stockings grey, white, rings; shirt grey canvass; no kerchief or neckcloth; clothes all too small. After six months of this life, the authorities think the convicts sufficiently drilled for assignment. On a certain day advertized in the Government Gazette the settlers, farmers, and master mechanics, come to the barrack for Government servants, as they are called: thec convicts are all marched out in a long line, of rows; the purchasers walk along the line of white slaves, and pick out such as suit them; the purchaser bids the convict walk, run, hold up his leg, arm, Sic hits his chest or back to prove if he is asthmatic or short in his breath; if he is sound in wiud and limb, he bids him stand on one side until he picks from the. rest; when he has enough, he goes to an ollice, where he pays Government for his slops, the yellow dresB (they call them canaries,) halt-tanned shoes, cap, three shirts, a little wool pad, or bed, a small rug horse-cloth. This is the convict's outfit, lie then has to walk to the home of his new employer, that is, tyrant.

There is a sctof laws made lor the convict population, that mean anything or notSiBg, or everything. Two magistrates can order a man fifty lashes of the double, or Government cat; you can't speak, you are a convict; presumption is against you; you must be flogged. The scourger comes, ties you up, and his bloody lash scatters tho flesh ymir mother kissel so often; tears away the blood that your father reared with so much care; if not, the chain gang is your fate; vou are doom ed, your heels loaded with cankering heavy irons, to woik on the hot burning dusty roads until your flesh is scorched like copper, and your liair yellow as jaundice; your eyes sore and running from hot winds of the climate; your bleeding wrist carrying your chain; sometimes, oh! horrible! you are doomed to a penal settlement for life; a gathering of all human woes; black despair; a land of horror; a second hell, where nought but sadness dwells. Here the lecturer stripped and turned up his stive ves to show the manner of punishing with the lash; he exhibited four scourges; the first, tho small military cat; the second, the naval cat; the third, the thief's, or double cat; and, lastly, the dreadful scourge of Norfolk Island. hit of a large district of convicts, amounting hi 22,000 had been convicted and flogged, their llesh scattered, their blood spilled, their spirit, broken, their strength reduced, their life sliortciicl, their death miserable.

Sad is the convict's funeral his grave is desolate in its lril)llu'tx) but the wild bird, which sings the requiem of the murdered exile. His unchained spirit has fled aloft escaped from the degraded body that finds the solitary sea-washfd sepulchre of the drunkard's child on the distant strands of Tasmania. The convict is dead in law lie can hold no properly you might snatch the bread out of his teeth. No person need pay him any wages, though he has a ticket of ave Colonel Breton states: "I have seen him at work when the thermometer stood 115 in the sun, being about twice the heat of our summer day tho sun bums ulcers on the back of their necks. The gangs arc, in the country, locked up in square boxes, moveable, like wild beasts, sixte.m in each box, allowing eighteen inches, lor every man.

At Sydney they sleep in hulks, twelve in one Uree bench, all a massof tilth. Their coun tenances are demoniac, and shocking to behold. Sometimes in the hulks, there arc cells so small that they cannot lie on their backs." fFor the llidtiinore fiiin.1 Thankscivino. Mtssrt Editors- Having observed in the "Sun" the remark made by you in alludinc to tho appointment of a day of thank- giving in several states, that no day lias as yet been recommended by "the governor 01 Mary land" for that purpose, I would beg you to per mit me advert to the subject. The duty of thanksgiving is undoubtedly one the obligations of which none will in thoory deny) wbibt in practice it is most lamentably neglected.

If we acknowledge the propriety of rendering praise, as to tho Almighty giver of all blessings, should we hesitate to allow the suitableness of returning thanks in our united capjcity as citiiens of a state for the innumerable favors that with a lavish hand He lias bustowrd up, our commdnity? Allow me, then, in the name of the grateful recipients of the bounties 01 f.oof dencc of Maryland, respectfully to beg Enecu-tivo of our state, to appoint day, upon which, in our iq P'-ctive sanctuaries, and aecordin toour oivn mode of worship, we may render to tU Author of all good tribute of grtitud for the mt-4 nrwreie.s cf the part year. THE SUN. i From tlie AVikly Mirror. COUSIN NELLT ANU COl'SIX SALLY. "We still have slept together, Rose at an instant, learn 'd, played, eat togi then And whereso'er we went, like Juno's swans, Still we went coupled and inseparable." Although cousin Nelly and Sally arc linked with my earliest remembrances, 1 do not recollect ever henrinjr that they hail fatheror mother.

Mirthful, yet sad, is their appearance, as rcllcct-cd on my mind's mirror, as side by side they en teral the church door, or at long intervals, made part of the semicircle surrounding; the sparkling and cheerful fire in my aunt's comfortable parlor. 1 hey seemed always to he independent ot the rest of the world, and this accounts for the irk-someness of Nelly's fcelinjri, while actiitp: as house-keeper for my aunt; in vain she tried by assiduity and cheerfulness to gave satisfaction, aunt would sum. times cold, servants despising delegated authority (poor white folks, as southern servants all hate those unfortunate interlopers,) were intolerably impertinent and more tryin; than all.the rest, we boys and prls tor mented every moment ol her existence, iv as she stated in tlie nursery, alter a wearisome lay's attention to lur multifarious duties, ami perchance knitting or darning our stocKings, her ball of yarn would be sure to make its way out ol her own pocket into Jim's, encased in a kid covei ins, cut most probably from one of her loves, which had lain quietly it, in the same deep receptacle. Bundles of keys, buttons, cutis of tape, a heart-shaped pincushion, scissors, thimble, an old hu hioned house wile, (itsell a rolled up collection I similar odds and cuds,) and not to be forgotten a snuii'box and toothbrush, might be found in the depths of the bal ancing pocket. Mart not lair reader! these last named articles were indeed put in frequent re- iiusition, and were the source ot minute mis chief to ourselves, and annoyance to poor cousin -Nelly.

After moments of abstraction, for she too had her reveries, and heartlueaking were they no doubt, (Nelly had once been very handsome, and still possessed a kindly and noble heart, which miscreants that we were, not to lacerate with jokes and inucndocs,) she would slowly insert her hand into her pocket, in search ol the ancient snuli box, ami upon drawing it forth and attempting to open it, an elf at her elbow would inadvertently stumble, and jostle the contents into the air, whereupon an uproar of sneezing and coughing commenced. ''Indeed I did nt do it a purpose, cousin Nelly; Jim tripped me, and see. now what lie is doing!" A simultaneous glance discovered this prince of mischief occupied in clipping from his head th clustering brow ringlets, of which aunty was so proud, with the scissors he had purloined during Nelly's visit to the land of dreams. This was gain to three of however; the decimated curls were transferred from Jim's apron to our doll-baskets, and in process of time lent addi. tional charms to the divinities we manufactured.

Cousin Nolly had a way of giving her orders by contraries; for example, if she wished thu light to burn sleajdily, she would say, "Be sure you blow out the candle, children;" or, on a cold winter's night, when one of us left the room, "mind you leave the door open Upon one occasion, during a meeting of the "General Assembly," a number of clergymen were expected to dine at our house, and, among other things, cousin Nelly had prepared a floating island so perfectly that it surpassed the rule of being so well whipped as to adhere to the dish when turned bottom upwards. Nelly considered it the triumph of art, and boastingly shook the dish, as she glanced, at us, her four continual and persevering adjuncts. How our mouths watered! and this was all tlie enjoyment we anticipated from these airy nothings, when, oddly enough, cousin Nelly turned to us as she was leaving the room to pro cure the richly-cut glass bow into winch we. had previously seen her pour a boiled custard. so delicately-flavored that our appetites were near overpowering us, when left gazing upon it alone for a few minutes, and upon which she intended placing detached portions of the delicious compound we were watching.

Raising theVpoon she held in her hand in order to be the more emphatic, "Now, children," said she, "mind you eat every bit of this floating island 'tip before I come back!" anti tee did one held a spoon. (the only one left) and filled the hands of the others, for we had no time to run for plates, so that by the time Nelly returned, the dish needed no wiping, and we were invisible. Wc had no other dessert that day. As I said belore, sadness as well as mirth min gle in my recollections of cousin Nelly. She was the elder sister Sally, a year or two younger, was her direct opposite, tall, slender, well- lormed, with a fine complexion, the natural ac companiment of red hair.

Nelly still retained much ot her former beauty; and, red though it. was, her hair clustered in natural ringrlcts on either temple, veiling the rather-too-kcen expression of a pair of hazel eyes, as she bent her well haped head in attention to her many household duties. Active, energetic, strong-minded, she preferred the exercise of her own will, and a slate of single blessedness, in order that she might retain the society of her invalid sister, to yielding up her independence through fear of being called an "Old Maul." was rather below the middle height, of a stooping figure, owing to delicate health, an xtre.mely sallow complexion, large, brilliant, dark eyes, shadowed by natural ringlets that might shame the raven's plumage, so glossy and silken was their texture. Unfortunately, Sally was very deaf; this, together with uniform ill- health, precluded her from enjoyment of every kind, other than that' of the doincsti''. circle.

Sally's image docs not rise in my early visions, she must have been with their relations in Delaware; for while cousin Nelly reigned ipiccn of the nursery and household, Sitlly never made her appearance. Judging from numerous circumstances, they must h.ivc been left orphans early in life. I never heard their parents named, and yet, lonely and stnigrfijig as was their iiilgrinincc, tender hearts had cared for them, and fatherly anticipa tion of the blighted hopes of his children, must have induced their pan tit to secure to them the old-fashioned, comfortable homestead, in which I siient a delightful day, when on a visit to that embodiment of coquetry and dignity, Margaret Ubilallt. It was alter coumii had Kit my aunt's house, worn out, no doubt, by endloss vexations, and yearning to tread tlie pathway ol life, hand in hand again ith her, lioni I'rovi. deuce had left as her nearest and dearest friend.

'Twas on a bright ibliath morn ng, and we intended rontinuine on our way to the country church, embosomed in the rrimevai forest, but the sisters would not hear of it. "Girls, you have dropped from tiic clouds to visit us, and go you shall not until evening, or rather go at once, and leave our poor old hearts the heavier lor having seen you but lor a few minutes, and our eyes the dimmer with weeping that two gay and giddy girls prefer showing themselves oQ befor the country beaux, to gladdening a few hours for two poor old maids." "Indeed, cousin Nelly, you are mistaken; we intend staying all the afternoon with you. Liz only wanted to gaze upon the ruined roof-tree of our old meeting house, and listen to the Harmony of Nature, as birds and brcc.cs unite in filling the woods with melody." "You always rant in that style, Margaret; but I am perfectly in my own mind, (a fa vorite expression of (vmin Nelly's,) that your oMcet is to show oil and to attract attention by vour skilful driving. Where, in theworld is Pompcy, that you arc obligeij. to take the reins yourself." "I'm following yur good example, cousin Nelly," laughed Marerarct.

'Whereupon Sally, in a sweet, low voice resumed: "Cease sister, and lei ui enjoy their visit while it, lasts, pleasures Come seldom nough t-j us." The maid of all work, Maria, wn now called to le. ul our horse into the enclosure, where stood ruminating the solitary cow of the spinsters.

I ought not to complain, whtn sliej poor thing, is deprived of one sense that I enjoy in perfection, that of hearing' the birds sing, and my bees humming their satisfaction that God is good even unto them, in providing them so bountifully with flowers. 1 cultivate my flowers more for their sake, much as I love them, than I do for mv own but they repay me my honey-pots are filled to overflowing.

GihI is good to me, children, in all things!" How I levered cousin Nelly, as she stood beside the little bcaufct, wiping ith a snowy napkin the old-fashioned cups and saucers, which she sadly transferred to the equally oM-lashion-cd waiter placed on my old companion, the large, round, highly polished stand. Its flossy surface was covered with a damask cloth, the gilt of my aunt, and at'intervals placed around were four diminutive plates. 1 knew what was coming, for in times past, the reward of a quiet day was a mock tea-party mound this identical old table; delicacies reserved for our. ciders were then meted out to us. erily, these were pleasant days, when the height of our ambition to preside at these entertainments.

Where are ye now, companions of my childhood? Long, long ago the grave claimed the loveliest of our little band. In the spring-time of life, ere sorrow or care had tarnished the gloss of her dark, waving hair, or dimmed the lustre of those wondroualy beautiful and dreamy eyes, Mary, the darling ot all hearts, was called suddenly away. Fanny, too, the personification of youthful dignity is gone, and Jim and I are left alone to think of the past; talk together we may not, lor ustrangemcnt, bitterer than death, has long since separated us. Keturn we to the tea-table cousin ISclly had not forgotten her art; sweetmeats, perfect in shape and flavor biscuits of her own making chipped beef, that Titania might have nibbled a mould of Molly's butter, and coflce that the Grand Seignor himself might have relished, albeit she had forgotten to stir it with a stick of cinnamon, now made their appearance. The antique service of plate, so tiny in dimensions, so richly chased and so highly polished, that poison would have been palatable if proflered from the glittering array adorning that side.of the ta ble, where sat cousin ISclly.

iSmilcs and tears alternately enlivened or depressed us, as we lingered round the dear old table where might we four meet again? Tlie storms of life had beaten down all the landmarks of hope for our two poor cousins; they were going down the hill, and years and friends slide imperceptibly away; but we, Margaret and I who was known by no other name, than "Liz the thoughtless," what visions of happiness did not fancy and joyous hope display to us. Have the dreams round that tea-table been realized? Margaret, from her dairy-farm in I lelaware, her triumphal journey as bride to a gallant general, her invaliding at her villa in Algiers, and her present whereabouts I will not say where can answer for herself. As for me, the black and white in my skein of destiny has been rather unequally twisted. But to the sisters; we bade them farewell; our hearts were tranquil in anticipation of the future, since beholding these specimens of the world's forgctfulness. AVhat arrangements induced our cousins to leave their rural home, and revisit the city, I know not.

Their income was so limited, that, with all Nelly's economy, and Sally's industry with her needle, it became requisite to adopt more energetic means for their support. No doubt, memories of the nursery induced the sc. lection; opr mad pranks were forgotten, and the joyousuess of our bright faces only remembered; benches were accordingly placed parallel with each other in the little hack room, and cousin Nelly commenced inducting the minds of ten or twelve nurslings into the mysteries of A 15 C. This confinement proved injurious to both sisters. Sally became a confirmed invalid, and at length kept her bed entirely, poor Nelly struggled against despair and until she too was compelled to summon to her assistance the relatives upon whom she was too proud to be dependent.

I lerctofore the sisters had reposed side by side, it now became necessary to remove one into an adjoining room. "Let me be the one to go," said Nelly, "my sister is less able to endure fatigue than I am; God knows if we shall see each other again it I should die, what will become of you, Sally? I promised our mother to watch over you long years ago, and I ought not to leave you now. rod grant wc may die together." flatbed in tears of self reproach at this involuntary separation, poor Nelly allowed us to make her comfortable, Then tee, three of her early tormentors, endeavored by every attention, that love for her many virtues, gratitude for her former care, nnd profound respect for her rare independence, could suggest, to restore again to health and happiness these members of our despised, enduring, but really estimable portion of the human family, called "Old Maids." With (rod's blessing wc succeeded. Smok.no C.iMhs.-This has growsJ to be a female passion abroad, as we have frequently heard travellers say of late. The fol lowing paragraph, from a foreign journal, de scribes its growth as a habit: Time was, hen the smoker Was but of one sex, when nothing smoked that wore a petticoat, hut now tliere is the Hincitsc as well as the Ju-mew, and the gallant and inventive nation has oontrived and executed a rig-ore des dumcs for the lips of the female French.

Now what unwxes a woman like tobacco? Tobacco grew not in Cyprus, nor is it related that Venus cultivated tho weed in the parterres of Paphos. Joan of Arc, was a woman, although she wielded the sword and the battle-axe, but a single cigarattc, nay, one cigrtrc de dames, would have changed her render. Let a woman do anything human or inhuman, but smoke! if the work-box and the dressing-box are not suflicicnt for her, if even the box of boU-bom will not content her, if she must assume the habits to a man, let her put on a white coat and take to the coach-box, or a coat and take to the letter-box, or a black coat and tike to the pill-bux, but there are two boxes that she must not meddle with, which are forbidden her by the nature of things, amongst the other pro-irria qua mar'tbus the cigar-bot and the snuffbox. The box of Pnndora was in all probability either one or the other of the two boxes last mentioned; Madame or Mad'lle Pandora took snuff or smoked; hence the ancients represented her box to bo, as full of plagues' as is the budget of a chancellor of the exchequer of impositions. Let the fair French take warning from Pan.

The day was highly favorable. A clear sky, a bright sun 4 and an invigorating breeze imparted animation to the congregated thousands. Alderman Cozcns was appointed President, it 34 Vice Presidents and seventeen Secretaries. The Alderman made a brief address, and alluded to the victory which the American Ke-public. in party had gained at the recent election in this city, and which they bad now assembled tocommerrforatc After two or three speeches from other gentlemen, the procession organized and passed through the streets previously designated.

The display of banners with patriotic mottoes was unually attractive and elegant. A full rigged ship, manned 9y sailors, was drawn in the procession. We regret to learn that the magazine of th ship exploded in Second street, in juring several persons. A temple of liberty, a number of boats and a model of a public school, all tastefully decorated, excited much interest. But the most attractive part of the pageant was a large and splendid car of young ladies, each with the banner of a state, looking like soma fairy scene, and remmding one oi tho great festivals and pagtMnts of the east.

Itcspeet for the llim.K was manUested by mottoes, and by paintings of tho sacred book borne upon the banners, as well as by Dumerotts copies of it displayed throughout the entire luic of the profession. Tfi American eagle was represented in several instances grasping the cock and the roon, and flying ofl'with both. The "Heal Natives," as the Amei ica Induns call themselves, behaved with great propriety in the procession, and gavb gratifying evidences of their respect for the usages of civilied life. Their canoe was carried in the line. The trades made a very handsome display, tn.l the demonstration, taken altogether, was the most elegant ever seen in the city, although not so numerous as the processions ot tlie old parties just belore the election.
