DEAR Blß Having my attention called by afriend
to the article or PLANETTS BITTERS, I was io
ducad to try its effbets upon a patient, who had been suf
fering for some time with Dyspepsia, attended with a very
impaired appetite,—great difficulty of digestion, and ex
treme coetiveness. I gave him of these Bitters a small
dose after each of his meals, which seemed to impart relic!.
I found they oo tree ted the acidity of the stomach,—in
creased Its action, and augmented the tone so much so,
that It gave me great confidence in the preparation, and I
have directed the gentleman to continue its use, anticipa
ting for him a speedy recovery.

And never dosed for weariness. for there
Night came but to relieve excess of joy ;
Then, in the dawning twilight, tongs of birds,
Like choir* of angels, bade them to awake,
And mark the bliaafui hours a* they passed on
By opening flowers, that breathed ambrosial sweet*.
No thought of care or sorrow came to woo
Their hearts from parity and loveliness;
Their every sense was wholly yielded up
Unto the thousand beauties of each hour.
Ob would that we could thus look on the earth
In all the lir ng charms of this spring morn.
And, care forgetting, think not of the shades
That tcill come clouding the horizon—would
That we could close our eye* from sorrow and
Enshrine the sunbeams ever in our hearts.
The veil of early morn has lighter grown
Till It is now a silvery floating mist,
And, curling upward, gems each leaf and shrub
With thousand jeweled drops; for every one
The sweet brier sends, another scented breath,
The honey-suckle, with Its tendrils twined
Gustering so fondly round the latticed bower,
For mominv incense offers fragrant sighs,
Breathed out in the still eloquence of love.
Roses are blushing in the consciousness
Os their own beauty, trembling with the weight
Os their own exotic sweets, and bathed
In diamond dew-spray, making mirrors where
The butterfly may linger to behold
His gaudy colors, and tho bee n ay sip
Nectar distilled f om rose-leaf and the dew.
Thousands of leaves are quivering in the hreece.
Half In the joy of graceful motion, half
In fearful memory o April tears;
But now they glisten in the early beam,
Rejoicing merrily that May has come—
Sweet, lovely May, the rainbow of the year.
Rich in >he promise of the summer's gifts
And autumn’s gayer glories. In this hour
The pure blue heavens almost unclouded bend
In beauty o’er the earth, as if it were
The morning of creation, and the tree*
And flower* and birds seem as if life were new.
Our hearts join in the happiness around,
And almost boat aloud in unison
With the great pulse of nature; as we list
The birdling's matin songs, we fain would join
And sing, as innocent and glad as they.
Father in Heaven, Thou whose all-listening ear
Accepts as praise the lowest warbled note
Os forest bird; Ob, Thou, befo 2 whose eye
The lily *t the vale is robed in more
Th in k'nxly g’ory—from Thy lofty throne
Wilt Th u i mercy h- ar us, and receive
The songs o’ praise our spirits sing to Thee? D.
BENEVOLENCE.
A benevolent man was Absalom Bess—
At each and every tale of distress
He blazed right up like a ro- ket;
He felt for all who 'neath poverty's smart,
Were doomed to bear life’s roughest part—
He fe't for them in his inmost heart,
But never felt In his p cket.
Yet a'l said he was in excellent man—
For the poor he’d preach, for the poor he’d plan—
To oetter them he was willing;
But the oldest oce who had heard him pray,
Aod p-ea h for the poor In a pitiful way,
Couldn’t rt member, exactly, to say,
He hud ever given a shilling.
Oh an excellent man was Ahsal m Bess, *
And ihe world threw up its hands to bless,
Whenever his name was mentioned.
But he died one day, he did and OI
He wens right down to the shades below,
Where all a>e bound, I fe<r, to go,
Who are only good lotentloned.

Father Taylor, The Sailor’s Preacher.
Yon have nevor heard Father Taylor, the

on his feet; with a quick motion he adjusts his

in the pulpit. Jack don’t know abont that! He

The American Flag —Seventy-six years ago
this day, vix: Jane 14th, 1777, the Continental
Congress passed a resolution adopting the design
of th ensign now known thronghont the world as
the American Flag. The flag was not designed by
any one person, but was the result of many sug
gestions from various parties and boards of offi
cers. No less than twenty-one members of Con
irress and officers of the army were united in the
selection of the ensign. The colon of the flag—
red, white and bine—where adopted for the rea
sons that white denotes purity and innocence; red,
hardness and valor; blue, vigilance, perseverance
and justice. The stripes are the paiesof heraldry.
The constellation of stara in the field of blue de
note a new state or nation taking its place among
the independent powers of the earth. The reso
lution of Congress adopting the ensign was officially
announced September Bd, 1777. The flag was
used for the first time in the army at the surrender
of Burgoyne, October 17th, 1777. The flag was
unchanged till May, 1795, when the number of
stars was increased to fifteen, to represent the
number of States. In 1818, the flag was again
altered, and a return was made to the thirteen
etripes, as it was found that the flag would be
come unwieldy if a stripe was added on the ad
missioD of each new State. The resolution of
congress eflecting this change was in the follow
ing words: “Be it enacted, Ac., that from and
after the fourth day of July next, the flag of the
United States be thirteen horizontal stripes alter
nate red and white: that the onion be twenty stars,
white, in a bine field. And that, on the admission
of a new State into the Union, one star be added
to the nnion ot the flag; and that such - addition
shall take effect on the fourth dav of July next
succeeding soch admission.”— Boston Evening

Strange Inconsistency.— There are many men,
and women, too, for that matter, who would
handle a watch worth twenty-five dollars with the

while they would not hesitate to toy rough hands

of happiness. Many a man there is who would
turn to let a reptile live, who would not scrapie to

Statistics of the Methodist Kfbcoptl Church.
In an article published it the Christian Advo
cate and Journal, New York? the Rev. N. Bangs,
S'veean interesting sketch of the “progress of
etbodism” in New York, and in the United
Stabs. From this letter we n ake the following
extracts, bebevingthat they will be read with atten
tion and interest. It will be seen by reference to
the second table, that in 1850, the Methodist Epia
copal Church embraced a large proportion of the
population ofthe United States.
“For the decaded number of the citizens of the
city of New York I am indebh d to a “Historical
Sketch of the rise and progress of the Metropoli
tan city of America, by a New Yorker” ana tor
ihe ootnpartitive increase ot the Methodists to the
“Minutes of the several Annual Conferences;”
though tor the number of inhabitants in the city
tor the year 1780 I can only conjeeftire, as the regu
lar census extends to 1790. During the Revolu
tionary war the population had diminished very
mnch, as many had fled to the country on the
approach of the British Army, and a great portion
ot the city was consumed by Are soon after the
event; so that great suffering ensued, and many
deaths ocourr id. On these accounts the number
of inhabitants had so decreased that in 1780
there could not have been over 15,000, as the en
tire population did not excoed 28,000 at the com
mencement ofthe war. Allowing this to be accu
rate, the number ofthe several decudes from that
time to 1860, will stand as lollowh, with the num
bers of Metho ists, and tbeir proportion to the
population in parallel columns :
No. of No. of Proportion of
Year Citizens. Methodists. Members.
1780 15,000 100 1 in 150
1790 83,181 684 linsß*
1800 60,488 770 1 in 80
1810 60,489 2,260 lin 42
1920 128,706 8,221 lin 55
1880 202,589 3.955 lin 51
1840 812,552 6,091 lin 51
1856 515,608 8,180 lin 63
There is, as far as the census of the city has
been taken, but allowing that in 1852 the popuia
tion amounted to 57,000, which it probably did;
and as the number of Methodists at that date was
9,215 tho proportion, would be as 1 to 81, which is
a little increase from 1850. From this estimation
of comparison it will be seen that the least propor
tion, was in 1780, when it was as lin 150; and -
that the next least was in 1800, when it was l iu
80 ; that the largest was in 1810, when it was 1 in
42: and that the next largest was in 1830 and
1840, when it waH 1 in 51 ; and that the next
largest was in 1820, when it was 1 in 55, and in
1850, when it was lin 68. It will be perceived,
therefore, that since 1780, we have kept a pretty
steady pace with the increase of the population,
though since 1840 there has been rather a retro
grade motion from 1 in 51 to 1 in 68 and 1 in 60.
This however, may be accounted for, without
supposing any dimunition ot piety or zeal, either
in tho ministry or membership of ihoChnrch.—
Since the facilities for removing to Brooklyn,
Williamsburg, and Jersey City by steamboats, and
into the country by railroads, have been furnish
ed, many of our merchants and mechanics have
removed to those places, with a view to cheapen
their ronts, or for tho purpose of obtaining more
pleasant residences, while they do business in
New York; and some who have become wealthy
have retired into the country altogether, and thus
have diminished the number of Church members
io the city, and increased it in othor places. And
so I suppose it bus been in other cities, and there
fore cannot ascertain in the foots on which to
found the comparison.
Let me now endeavor to ascertain, by docades,
a comparative view of the number in the Church,
throughout the United States and Territories, in
cluding the North and South, and it will give a
more gratifying result:
No of No of Proportion of
Year. Citizens. Methodists. Members.
1780 2,500.000 t 8,804 lin 280
1790 8 929,827 57,682 lin 61
1800 5,805,941 64,894 lin 85
1810 7,230,814 174,560 lin 41
1820 9.686,191 259,890 lin 88
1880 12,886,020 476,165 1 in 27
1840 17 069,458 801,784 1 in 21
1850 28,214,199 2,2u0,000 1 in 21
I have brought the estimation down only to the
year 1850, because the population of the country
trom that period cun only bo conjectured, and
therefore can afford no sure datum for the compa
rison ; though we may safely presume that it
would not vary materially from that in 1850,
which is as 1 to 21. .
From this view of the subject, it appears that
we have fallen little behind the proportionate num
ber of members in the city of New Y’ork, aud pro
bably, also, from similar causes, in other cities,
but have made u steady advance upon the popula
tion of the Union from 1780 to the your 1850 ;
so much so, that now we have about one-twentieth
part of the population connected in Church fellow
ship; and if we add three for minors and non
members for one member, it will give us 4,500,000,
which will be neatly one-fifth of the entire popu
lation.

A Remarkable Phyilcsl Phenomenon—A Sleep
ing Giant-A Hip Van Hinkle.
Our attention was called yesterday to a most
extraordinary phenomenon. A full grown man,
six feet and two inches tall, 87 years of age, has
slept for nearly five years, with only occasional
and brief intervals of wakefulness. The name ot
this man subject to so remarkable asuspension of
the ordinary faculties of tho race, is Cornelius. He
is tho son of a farmor living in the town of Clark
son, in this county, in whose family only this
siuglc and singular instance of prolonged som
nolency has ever oocttrred. The subject of this
noiice first fell into this long sleep on the 19th
Jnne, IS4B, and since that time has been awake at
different periods, from a few hours to four mouths
a* a time. It is remarkable that when he comes
out of this catalepsy,, he appears to have no
knowledge of the lapse of time, or of circum
stances taking place while he sleeps. The fit
comes upon him instantly, without, so far as is
known, any warning. His eyes close, bis jaws
are set, his muso'es contract and his whole frame
is rigid, bo that if standing, he continues in that
attitude partly bent over; and it is not easy to pull
him down. He has continued in this condition
for months together, nnable to speak or n ove.
Various experiments have been tried to re
store him to oonsoiousneßs, without effect. A
eti-ton has been inserted in the back of his neok,
without producing any apparent effect, and on
one occasion cayenne pepper, moistened with
spirits of turpentine, was put into his mouth, and
no visible emotion was caused by the caustic dr se.
Physicians have seen and wondered, theorized
and experimented in vain. The man sleeps on,
live, eats, retains perfect health, with a pulse at 80,
and without variation. When asleep, bo may be
placed upon his feet, and he will staud for days
together, as he has been known to do for throe
days and nights in succession. In order to feed
him, it is necessary to pry open his firmly set
jaws; and in that manner, bat little food is intro
duced into his Btomach. He is not, however,
much emaciated, keeps his natural color, and ap
pears entirely without disease, except that which
produces his strange sleep. When he awakes, he
comes out of histrance suddenly, his rigid muscles
relax at once, he asks for meat or drink, and f lls
to voraciously. If asked why he sleeps so much,
he appears to regard it as an imposition, just as
any active mac would receive an intimation that
be was oonsidered slnglsh.
The last time he was awake was about five or six
weeks since. He was left nearly alone at home;
and on coming out of sleep he got up and went to
the lake shore where bis brothers were; going in
to a grocery he called for liquor, and asked the
company to drink with him. On each occasions
he is not violent or angry; appears strong and in
full possession of his mental faculties. A slight
indication that he is not entirely nnaware of what
is transpiring about him was given recently, by his
asking his father if he intended to allow him to be
tHken to New York! Several parties had been
endeavoring to get permission to exhibit him, and
he appears to hnve become aware ot it by some
means; perhaps by hearing conversation about him?
This was the only instance of the kind, we believe.
The faot that his eye-lids are in a constant tremor,
favors the idea of nis semi consciousness.
Thia man is now in charge of Mr. Gardner Daviß,
ofßrockport, who intends to exhibit him to the
pnblic, so that a thing so wonderful may be seen
by all the world. A brother of the remarkable
somnambulist accompanies him—a healthy, strong
man, six feet and two inebea tall. Many of oar
physicians have visited the man, at the place
where he is lodged, Mr. Damarest’s Comm Tcial
Hotel, Front street. Effects have been made to
awaken him, reoentlv, so that the Faculty who
are deeply interested "in the matter, may see him
in his wakeful mood. It is a little aignlar that
whisky will have the desired effect, if it is possible
to get enough down his throat. But he resists the
introduction of the liquor, and it is very difficult
to get it down in any quantity.
American Silk.
At Newport, Kentucky, opposite Cincinnati,
there is an unpretending; silk factory, which will
hereafter be memorable in the history of American
industry. It is carried on by Messrs. Jones &
Wilson, employs some half-dozen or more laborers
with five looms and some 160 spindles, consuming
annually several hundred weight of raw silk. The
manufacture is directed by Mr. Wilson, while Mr.
Jones, who is of the Quaker persna-ioD, aud who
is universally known as Friend Jones, sells the
products. These are pocket haDderohiefs, cravats,
vesting 6 and plain ana plaid dress Bilks. As far
as possible, rawsilk of American gftiwth is used in
the factory, but the imported article has to be re
lied on to make out a supply. Tbe raw silk raised
iu Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky, when tolerable
care is used, is not surpassed by any in the world,
being eqoal to the best Italian (which is all con
Burned in Europe) and better than any imported
into this country. Thiß is owing to advantages of
soil and climate, which impart peculiar lustre and
strength of fibre, and cannot fail, in time, to make
the C. States one of the greatest silk-prowing coun
tries in the world. For the beat native-reeled eilk
they pay $5 to (5.50 per lb., while the price of the
bestimported does not exceed $4.50. Mr.Joneshas
l een engaged in this enterprise some 11 years, and
has pursued it steadily through the discourage
ments incident to tlje beginning of a novel manu
facture. His means not allowing of great expan
sion, be has himself gone about retailing his wares
and enlisting' riends for tbe enterprise. At the
same time, by care and perseverance, the goods
have been improved, until such of tbe articles as
we have seen, for solidity, evenness, weight, and
lustre, would compare favorably with the products
of more famous establishments.— A\ Y. Triim e.

Strength of Ku.slasud Turkey.
The New York Time* wakes the following eal
culation as to the military strength of Kussia and
Turkey, and the probable result of a struggle be
tween these powers. The statement is weakened
hy the reference it makes to the expectations of
Kossuth, which must be of very small account in
the matter. In these times of War Rumors, it will
at least be read with interest, by those who are
fond of excitements.
After deducting a severe discount from the ru
mors about Turkish affairs for the exaggeration of
the stock-jobbers, there is still a balance large
enough to justify reasouable apprehension. Acol
lision between Russia and the Porte must, when
ever it happens, be filial arid fatal. How tike); i!
is to happen at present, and supposing our advices
to be correct, will depend upou the comparative
strength ot the two powers in a military point ol
view; and a glance at the figures, meagre aud in
exact as they are, may ut least approximate our no
tions to tho correct resnlt. It has always been the
policy of the Czar to suppress all details of internal
affairs. The Sultan probably knows little of tho
real condition of Turkey beyond more or less re
liable conjecture. The sinews ol war are certainly
in the handa ot Russia. Millious of Ural gold are
said to be treasured in the vaults of the Imperial
Bank awaiting an opportunity for service. With
t.n inconsiderable debt and boundless resources,
no considerations of economy would probably in
torpose to prevent a quarrel, especially where the
booty promised to outvalue an empire’s ransom.
Recent authorities state the military establishment
of the Czar pretty nearly thus:
Cavalry, including the Cossacks 101,6(2
Foot, embracing every description of troops.G4o,B6B
Artillerymen, pioneers, &c 08,(2 <
Total 801,n00
These estimates, however, arq extremely crude,
the method being to sum up the several divisions,
corps, and regiments ofthe army, assigningto each
its full compliment of men. Tiie fact, we are eon
fidently assured, differs from this result to tho ex
tent ot about 800,00" men; very few of the estab
lished corps i eing filled up, and many of them
existing only in name. If it be true, as the Ger
man paper slated last year, that the military arm
only cost tho Bu-sian government some $40,000,-
000 in 1850, we may assume the statement above
to be vastly overrated. The expenses of France
dnringthe corresponding period were much be
yond that sum, with an army of 894,525 men
History shows that Russia, under any other cir
cumstances than those of invasion, which inflames
the whole population, and calls defensive legions
into Budden existence, never contrives to set more
than 200,000 men in the field. The truth probably
inhabits in tbe neighborhood of those figures.
The naval armament of Russia, in the Black sea,
is stated as follows:
Line-of-battle ships 18
Frigates and smaller vessels 81
Steam frigates 6
Smaller steam vessels 15
70
Add to these over 200 gun boats, and an unre
ported force of sailors and marines, and we have a
tolerably fair notion of the power destined, lor a
halfcentury, to capture Constantinople. The navy
floating in the Baltic and Northern seas, consi ting
of 54 sailing craft and 13 steamers, due ul
lowance ot tenders and gun-boates, will only form
an element of the calculation iu case of a general
continental melee.
To resist this potent preparation, the Porte has
an army, finely drilled, well officered, and gallant,
of 150,880 regular troops; to say nothing of emer
gent ievis doubling that number. Tho present ar
ment embraces:
Cavalry 17,280
Foot 106,800
Artillerymen, sappers, miners, &c 14,608
The Turkish navy numbers:
Sixteen line-of-battle ships, carrying .1,448 guns
Fourteen frigates, carrying BSB “
Thirty smaller sailine vessels.
Eighteen st’rs, with a total 0f8,700 horse povror.
An array of floating batteries, gun-boats, <fec., num
ber unknown.
This naval armament is by no means contempti
ble or disproportionate to thatof So with
exist ng resources the prospects ofthe Sultan are
far from discouraging, nor is tha result of a single
handed contest a f air subjedt vatacination. nut
there are many other elements in favor of the
Turk. While the Ottoman population of the Eu
ropean provinces is but one-tenth of the total, and
notwithstanding the claims of the Czar are most
flattering to the million Greeks, it is pretty well
ascertained that the Bulgarians, Wallachians, Al
banians, and other races constituting the bulk of
the empire, prefer the state of quasi independence
they enjoy under Abdul Medjid to the more rigor
ous rule of Nicholas. The extra-Danubian pro
vinces are captivated with tho teachings of Rob
suth, and craving entire separation from Russia,
are represented as eager to throw off the present
protectorate. The supposition, therefore, that the
great body of the population sympathies with the
objects ot the Czar is hasty and probably incorrect.
That similar fidelity will prevail in the Russian
teritories in the event of war is questionable. To
repress Poland will require as large a force as to
subdue Turkey.
And again, the ranks of the Ottoman army will
be swollen by important accessions from Hnngary,
Germany, Italy and France. The republicanism
of Europe with a certain cunning in fight not even
now entirely undistinguished, will muster strong
ly in the light of the Crescent. The Turkish rup
ture is one of the several contingencies for which
Kossuth and his friends are eagerly waiting. The
assistance, whether in the way of direct enlist
merit under the great banner of tt e Prophet, or
in the shape ot insurrections, diverting the atten
ention and dividing the force of the Czar, will be
of vast consequences. And, last of all, there is
the guarantee of Great Britain and France that the
Sultan’s dominions shall not be impaired. Os
France, whose claim to tho protectorate of the
Holy Places has bcen-trampled »n by the peremp
tory requisitions of the autocrat, and whose fleet
has conveniently at hand in the ever-glorious
waters of Balaniis. Os Great Britain, whose com
mercial interests must suffer immeasurably in the
triumph ofthe Muscovite. The fight, if it is to be,
will not be entirely one-sided and unequal, or tho
inequality, if any, will at least be in favor of the
Bearded Civilization. —Beards are very singu
larly connected in history with the progress of civi
lization. The early history of all nations naturally
exhibits a bearded people, for tho heurd itself is an
ordinance of nature. The early Greeks and Ro
mans did not shave. Tiie Greeks began to use
the razor about the time of Alexander who com
manded all his soldiers to shave, lest their beards
should afford a handle for their enemies. This
wa« little -more than three hundred years before
the Christian era; and thirty years after Alexan
der, Ticinius introduced the habit of shaving
amongst tiie Romans. The Gothic invaders of the
western empire revived the habit of wearing the
beard. Tho Anglo-Saxons were a bearded race
when William the Conqueror invaded England,
and therefore the Conqueror and his Normans
ever after wore the chin smooth, in order to distin
guish them trom the vanquished; and thus, even
m the Norman invasion, the shaven chin became
tho emblem of an advanced civilization. In iike
manner, amid all the controversies between the
Eeastern aud the Western Churches, the Western
Church has invariably espoused tbe cause of the
razor whilst the Greek or Eastern Church as reso-
I utely defends the cause of the beard. Civilization
has marched in the West, and remain stationary
in the East, in the land of beards. When Peter
the Great determined to civilize his Russian sub
jects, one ofthe means which he considered indis
pensable was the use of the razor; he therefore
commanded his soldiers to shave every layman
who refused to do it himself, and rare sport they
had with tho stubborn old patriarchs who persist
ed in retaining their much cherished emblems of
sge and wisdom. The civilization of the West is
decidedly emblemed by the shaven chin; and
therefore it seemed an ominous arid remarkable
circum-tance that in the late continental revoln
tions, the resumption of the beard should have
borne so conspicuous and important a part.
A correspondent of the New York Times, who
signs himself “A Stranger,” in a letter to the edi
tor, says:
There is no place in the country where a visitor
feels so unsafe as in this city. Daylight affords
him some tolerable security, but if he ventures out
of his hotel at night, he is not without nervous ap
prehensions for his life. El sewhere this is not so.
I speak from personal experience when I say that
New Y’oik is by far the most dangerous city in
these States. It is very much worse than New
Orleans. If the evil is irremediable by your Po
lice arrangements, let ns know it and we will take
care of ourselves. As Ibmgs now are, your system
puts ns off our guard. Y T ou have a Police that is
just sufficient to delude us into the idea cf protec
tion—a temptation, I may say, to forego our own
defence. All this is the worst form of wrong. For
a system that falls short of its end, in such matters
is safety and life, really leaves the confiding stran
ger more to the mercy of bad men than he would
be if he were to carry his police in his side pocket.
The W iather and Crops. —The drought is be
coming truly alarming in many sections of the
country. We have had no rain here doringthe past
week, ai d the weather has been almost suffoca
tingly warm. The cotton on light land still looks
well, but the oat and corn crops are suffering ter
ribly. Much ot the oat crop is too low to be cut. —
The early corn is tasseling out about waist high,
and much of it now looks as if rain would do it no
good. On the stiff rich bottom lands, as observed
some weeks ago, the early planted corn is entirely
s failure, and it is getting too late to plant it over.
Gardens are burnt op, and potatoes have pro
dneed very little. Upon the whole, we have never
seen the prospects es the planter more gloomy.—

Hus-la aud Turkey—The Greek Church.
The Emperor of Russia demands that the Ps
triarch of the Greek Church at Constantinople,
who is the religions chief of all the Greeks of tho
Orthodox Greek Faith, shall, hereafter, be elected
for life; that he shall not be changed except for
t oason against hia sovereign ; and that in au ac
cusation of that nature, he shall be tried by the
Supreme Council of the State, in the presence \f th-
Chief Dragoman, of the Russian Embassy. His
election as Patriarch ia also to be confirmed bv the
Greek Synod of St. Petersburg—that is to "say.
confirmed by the Emperor. Moreover, the Em
neror demands of the Porte, that it acknowledge
him a» the “Protector of the Greek Orthod-x
Church in the East;” and as the Russian Govern
inent is dissatisfied with the manner in which tin
Porte deviated from its former arrangement of tin
question of the Holy Places, in favor of France,
the Ambassador now demand that these questions
be all clearly defined in a Convention.
It is said that the French Ambassador strongly
advises the Porte to refuse the two latter demands;
that the British Ambassador does not advise, and
promises no assistance in ca'6 of its relusal, and
that the Grand Visier prefers the trial ot a war to
the igno iiiny oIA concession made to force, on a
question wh lly within tho Porte’s own compe
tenoe and right to decide for itself—in a matter
concerning its own domestic policy. Prince
Monchikoff, on the 9th, gave the rorto forty eight
hours iu which to decide, and having shipped his
baggage on board a steamer in the Bosphorus,
awaits the answer.
The form ol the Russian demand ia, that the
Porte secure to the Patriarchate andGrc.ekChurch
Iu Turkey, all the immunities aud privileges here
tofore graniod to it by theprecodingßultans, these
to be detailed in an official Convention, between
tile Porte aud Russia, so as to enable the Emperor
to guarantee the same to his co religionists. To
this the Porte has answered, that as those pri
vileges and immunities exist already, it is useless
to include them in a Convention, and that the de
maud tor one ia an accusation in the face of all
Europoof ba ! laith on its part. With this the
Ambassador is not satisfied.
Toe Turks comp'ain greatty that the British
Ambassador does uot advise aud support them in
the manner which he has always done heretofore.
To advise-the Porte to refuse, would be to take
part in tho question, and to be involved in tiie
consequence. The refusal will be followed by the
occupation of the two Datinbian Provinces of Wal
lachia and Moldavia, the frontier of Circassia and
Turkey, including the port of Battoom—the only
good one on the south side of the Black Sea—and
the frontier on the river Arras . AraxeH)—the tw<
latter beiug actually controlled by Russia, and
though tho Danubian Provinces may be hereafter
evacuated, the latter, in all probability, never
would be.
It must bo added that the Greek Patriarchate ot
Constantinople is extremely corrupt; indeed, so is
the whole Greek Church. The Patriarchate is pro
cured by parclmse, and tho money is given for it
to the Minister of the Porte. To procure the sum
thus expended, the Patriarch sells ali the Episoo
pates, (Bishoprics) and, i idecd, all tho curucics
and smaller churches throughout the Empire, to
whomsoever bids most tor them. Tbe Patriarch
is chosen, or appointed, lor an indefinite period,
tnd the incumbent holds it only so long as he can
keep otheis out of it. Thus, iutrigne, briberv,
and scheming of tho most disgraceful order, are
the results of this system. It is not, therefore, a
matter of surprise, tbut the Emperor of Russia is
averse to such a stato of things. The Greek
priests genearlly are raeu of tho lowest order—
ignorant, intemperate, debauehers, filthy in their
habits and dress, and a disgrace to the name ot
Christian pastor. They do not anywhere com
inand th? re-pect of the Turks, aud they join in
all the corruptions of the internal administration
ot the conutry. They exert an influence over thcii
flocks for evil—their example is bad, and power
which they possess ia used for the purpose of sup
pressing any desire of acquiring knowledge and
instr iction, or any ambition to learn the possibility
of a better state of thiugs elsewhere. They art
worse than the priests of the Catholio faith in
Brazlor Mexico, and strain tho last penny from
the credulous follower of tho Cross. To possess a
correct idea of the acunduls committed in the
Greek Patriarchate,, and the degraded condition
of tho Greek clergy at large, it is necessary to be a
witness ol the facts which frequently come to no
tice in Turkey. The Emperor is right when he
wishes to pul an end to them. This is the reli
gious view of the subject.
For the Porte to accede to the demands of the
Emperor of Russia would make u profound im
pression on the minds of ts subjects of its own
weakness, and of the power of the Emperor. It is
supposed that tno Sultan has abont 'l4,ooo,uoti
Greek subjects, who would look up to the Em
peror as a protector, not only oftheir spiritual bui
of their temporal affairs. Bneh a concession os is
now demanded would create in their minds tbe
impression that they are no longer subjects ofthe
Sultan, but adhorents of the Emperor of Russia.
The consequences would soon be seen, in tho con
flicts constantly arising between them and the
Mahomedans, in which the Russian authorities
would officially interfere, on the ground of being
< o religionists. This the French ambassador now
generally does tor ali Catholic institutions in
Turkey ,‘butseldom for individual Catholics. Thus
the political effects which the concession would
have in Turkey would be very great.
The present Greek Patriarch having, together
with his asssociates, paid for office, is by no means
disposed to be removed from it by the Russians,
with no ohanco of regaining it so long as his suc
cessor lives. He has, therefore, protested against
the demands of the Emperor, and is offered pro
teetion of tho Patriarchate and Greek Church!
This renders the matter somewhat an absurdity.
The denouement may not be without it interests to
iho peace of Europe and to the dostinies of Tur
key. —Constantinople Correspondence of the N. Y.

YV hat is the Russian Quarrel with Turkey ?
—We have soon a variety of articles noticing the
rupture between tho Sultan and the Czar, but
they all failed to indicate exactly the point of dis
pute. The basis of the quarrel was, in fact, very
like the origin of the Crusades. It concerned the
Sepulchre of our Lord and tho piotectorate of the
holy places connected with hia history in Jcrusa
lem. Tho Latin and Greek churches, under the
wings of France and Russia, entered the arena;
and, at one time, the question was rather between
the two ecclesiastical branches, than betwixt the
Russians and the Turks. But at length the firman
ofthe Sultan regulated the occupation or use of
the sacred localities by the Christians of both
churches, and the sovereign’s decision was assent
ed to by the Emperor and the Czar, with but few
reservations. Russia, however, was resolved not
to bo eonten ed with a drawn battle. Prince
Mentschikoff required that the privileges granted
to tiie Greeks, of whom his master claims to bo
Primate—and which are said to be revocable at
will—should bo guarantied by a synallgamatic
treaty, in the same manner that the immunities
and franchises are enjoyed by tho Latins, under
the protectorate of France. This demand was re
jected repeatedly by tho Divan. The Latins un
der tho church of Rome amount to but a few
thousand, while the Greeks comprise fully twelve
millions of the Saltan’s subjects. The relative
ratios of population will be more clearly seen in
following table:
Thenumhcr of TurksatConstantinopleiS’ 400,000
Turks in European Turkey and Islands.. 2,800,000
Greeks at Constantinople 150,000
Greeks in European Turkey, the Islands
and coast of Asia Miuor 4,650,000

Vluks (of Pindus) 800,000
Albanians (Christians) 1,600,000
Armenians (Christians), Constantinople 25",000
There are also at Constantinople about 10,000
other Christians of all nations, and 20,000 Isra
elites, who, from dislike to Christians, always sido
with the Turks against them. Among the 2,600,-
000 Turks ofthe provinces, 800,000 in Bosnia are
renegade Slavonians, und almost all tbe Turks of
Epirus are renegade Albanians.
Accordingly, the Turks contended, with ap
parent justice, that there was no equality in trie
demands of Ru-sia and France, especially as the
latter power did not preteDd, like the Czar, to be
come an arbitrator between tbe subjects of the
Sultan aud the Sultan himself. The Emperor of
Russia, as |hcad of the Greek church, wielding
the acknowledged spiritual power and temporal
protectorate of twelve millions of Greeks, would
soon be able to counterbalance tbe authority ot tbe
Port*.
At this juncture France, England, Austria, and
Prussia made a concerted movement, through
their ambassadois at Constantinople, to conciliate
the Em per rand the Sultan. Prince Mentschikoff
renewed his ultimatum several times. The Divan
took time to re-eonsider the whole controversy.
But in the end, the Sultan’s original resolve to
maintain the independence ot Turkey was fully
acquiesced in, and on the 22d of May, the Russian
envoy embarked for Odessa, thoroughly check
mated. It is understood that France and England
accorded entirely in the decision of the Divan,
while it is not unlikely that the two other powers,
or at least Prussia, coincide in the rceult.— DtU.

Submarine Operation? at Heel Gate.— M. i'sil
,evert and Capl. Eaaslof have renewed operations
against the famous “ Pot Boob,'’ at Hell Gate, by
direction of the Government and under the su
perintendence of Brevet Major D. Fraaer, U. 8.
A.; and the results so far as known, are as gratify
ing a» before. It will be remembered that the first
intention was to reduce Pot Bock to 20 feet from
the surface, (mean low tide.) This has been ac
complished, andnowtheGovernmentappreciating
the importance of rendering the gate safe tor
the passage of ships of the Navy and with them
ell other vessels, has determined to reduce it to 24
feet, which Herculean task will in all probability
be completed in a few days. Some idea of the
magnitude of the undertaking may be had from a
knowledge of the fw't that when operations were
renewed, May 21st, 1858, the area ofthe rock to be
worked againat was 18,800 square feet. Since that
date the area to be removed to the depth required
has been reduced one half, which leaves 840 square
feet yet to be demolished. The moat elevated
point ofthe rock at th 6 presenttime is twenty-oDe
feet. The change in the eddy and current since
the commencement is so great that fourteen,
seventeen and nineteen charges can be exploded
between tides—one, two and three were all that
oould be fixed upon the rock during the early
onerations. The debrie which lies around the rock
caused considerable delay, as dragging it into the
deep, or to the shore, requires a great deal of time.
Nevertheless under the supervision of Major Fra
ser “ the work goes bravely on.”
Aa the rocks lessen, explosions cause an in
creased trembling of the earth for a long distance
inland. Standing many yards from the shore at
the time a charge ia fired, the shock is severe and
it is reported that several rooms of bnildings in
the neighborhood have had their ceiling shaken
until portions have fallen. The effect in the water
borders upon the wonderful. Just as the ex
ploding charge forces up the immense column of
water, numbers of fish leap from the water to the
lieigth of one and two feet, for more than one
hnudred yards around, fall dead and often torn in
Sieoes. As .soon as Pot Bock has been reduced,
1. Maillefert will proceed to New Haven Harbor
and commence similar operations against Middle

one of hideous enormity. Well may the citizens

population of England and Wales, is eighteen
millions. In other words, New York with a popu
lation only ims-thirtieth as large as Euglana and
ales, bangs seven-ninths as many in the same
spnee of time.
The little we fail in point of number , however,
is more than made up iu the at ocity of tho offen
oes. Ot the niue hnug in England one murdered

oue his employer who had dismissed him, one his
undo, one a st ranger on the highway, ono his own
illegitimate ohild, one the illegitimate child of hi

but of our coven, three murdered their wives—
namely Grunzig by poison, Fitzgerald by shoot
ing, Neary by beating the brains out witli a mallet
and chisel—Stonkey murdered a negro, Clark
murdered a policeman, and Saul und Rowlett a
watchman. Three of tho English murders were of
infants, but all ot tho New York murders were ol
lull grown persons, three of whom sustained tho
most snered of ail relations to those who deprived
them of life. But in truth, New Y’ork of right has
tiie precedence of all England and Wa*s on this
soore, even in regard to number. Doyle who mur
dered the woman with whom he boarded in Pearl
street, was sentenced to be hung and ought to
have been hung, und would have boon hung in
England, but was seDt to State Prison for life.—
Sullivan, who killed tho man in Cliff street who
endeavored to preveut him from beating his wife
was found guilty of murder, aud ought to hnve
been hung, aud would have boon hung in Englaud
bat was sent to State Prison for life Johnson,
one ofthe condemned with Saul and Howlett, was
sen,t to the State Prison for life. There are now at
the Toombs ten men awaiting trial for murder,
one of whom, Carnell, the fiendish Dey street
murderer, has a'rcady been convicted once, and is
now awaiting a second trial. Tho whole number
of arrests in this eity for homicide within the last
year has been, as near as we can ascertain, abont
thirty five.
The whole number of arrests in this city during
the year 1852 was about 85,000: the whole num
her of commitments in England and Wales was
27,510. Tho whole number of arrests for offences
committed upon the person in New York iu 1852
was 5,468 ; in England and Wales the whole
number of commitments for tho same class of of
fences, during tho same period wus about two
thousand. In England la-1 year thero were 13
convictions for burglary ; in New Y’ork 146 arrests
lor the same offence ; in England during tho last
seven years, there were 66 convictions for this of
fence, in New York during the same period over
1,000 arrests. Butthis does not furnish the worst
aspect of the case. Tbe disparity between England
and this city, is yo. rly becoming greater. While
crime is increasing thero slightly, it is boro in
ureusing wiih fearful rapidity. The whole num
ber of convictions tor murder in England in 1846,
was 18; tho whole uumber ot arrests in New Y’ork
lor murder for the nine months preo ding May 1,
' 846, was 10. In England the convictions of 1847,
were 19 ; in New York during the year ending
May Ist 1849, thearrests were 18. In 1849 tbe cm
ciclvms in England were 19; in New York the
arrests for the year ending November Ist were 18
In 185 1 the convictions iu England were 11 ; in
New York during the fifteen months ending with
the last of D. ceuibor 1850, they were 16. In
1851, tho English convictions were 16 ; the New
Yolk arrestsß6. In 1852, tho English convictions
were 16; the New York arrests were 80. Tho to
tal number of commitments for all kinds of offences
in England and Wales during the last, seven years
was one hundred and ninety four thousand four
hundred and twenty-four ; the total number of
arrests in Now Yor. during the same period was
over two hundred thousand ! We are not able to
make an exaot comparison between tho absolute
number of crimes perpetrated iu England and iu
New York city since, the Parliamentary tables be
fore us, relate only to commitments in Hie case ot
offences generally, aud to cmvictions in esses ol
murder, and a few other of the gravest offences,
whereas our police tables only give the number of
arrests. Os course many are arrested who are not
committed or bound over for trial, but their num
ber is by no means so great as to destroy tho re
markable signifloanoe of the figures we have put in
connection.
Now what are the oausea of tho remarkable dif
ference botween this eity and England in extent of
crime! England has its immense cities, abouti I
ing with ignorant and vioious classes of population
—it has its London, its Liverpool, its Birming
ham, its Manchester and its Leeds, and yet this
single city of New York, if we may trust official
tables, exoeeds not only each ot them in crimo but
all put together! It cannot be ascribed to any pe
culiar character of our people, distiact from t heirs
tor it is notorious that the greater part of our
criminality springs from t he foreign element of our
population. Os the seven murderers übovo spoei -
tied, for instance, six of them wore foreigners—
one being a German, three Irish, ono English, and
one a Nova Sootian; and the seventh, though born
in this city, was or Irish parentage. The same
people that chiefly commit tbe crime hero, are
tonnd iu vast numbers in every English city ?
Why then the difference in tho extent ofthut
crime! This question does not admit of cither a
ready or a brief answer. The causes which pro
duceit is result ore various und complex, somo of
Which we may consider hereafter. The most im
portant of them are doubtless the comparative in
efficiency of our police in preventing crime, tbe
comparative uncertainty of our Courts in punish
ing crime, the neglect of our young vagrant popu
lation, and the vust number of disorderly gregeries
licensed, and unlicensed, that have all the while
without res'raint been simulating the passions
and bad propensities of all the lower dosses of our
p pulation. It is time that these matters should
he seriously and earnestly looked at and cared for.

Southern Railroads,
From that very useful publication, the American
Railway Guide, for June, we have evidence that
the energy and enterprise of the South ia rapidly
advancing in all that tends to commercial pros
perity ; manufactures, mining, agriculture are res
pcetivily increasing in a mors than usual ratio.
The latter, especially, waß never in a more flourish
ing condition, and trade, we are authoritatively in
formed, “in all its branches, not only on the sea
board, but in tho interior, has fully duplicated
itself in ten years.”
“What,” says the Railway Gnido, “may be ask
ed, is the cause of this great reaction, or rather re
volution ? The map of the United States will
answer, by presenting to the eye vast lines of Rail
Road extending from the principal portß of the
Atlantic across the mountains into the central val
ley, and crossing, connecting, and diverging in
every direction. To these mainly, but in no small
degree to the awakened energy of the people, are
these changes due. Nor is the South satisfied with
the results; but having tasted tbe fat things of the
land, brought to their doors by the Railroad, the
inhabitants seek to enlarge their resources by
opening up new avenues to new and richer con
quests.
A Good fob Nothing. —A late Buffalo (N. Y.)
paper contains the following rather amusing ad
vertisement : \
To the Public. —William Johnson, a colored
man, who has lived with me for the last nine
teen > ears, has left my bod and board, and refuses
to help support my family. His former master,
Mr. Moore, in one of the slave States is requested
to oall and take him back as he ii of no earthly
use toany one nere. Isabella A into.
As the fair Isabella appears to be well acquainted
with the merits, or rather tho demorits of Mr.
Johnson, we expect the cnllud gemmen’s master,
would rather Isabella would continue to nourish
and lodge this darkey Mantilini.— N. 0. Pica

The Now York Courier, alluding to the Turkish
Question, rays that the Btate of Eastern affairs has
not beeu portentous since IB4i>. Tho great hope
ofa peaceful issue lies itt the fact that a collision
upon the Bosphorus might lightup a flame of inter
national and civil war over uli Europe. No power
unless it be Eussia, is in a situation to incur this
risk; and a regard for the interest of absolutism in
Germany and Italy must to a certain extent disin
cline her to pursue a course which may terminate
in a general resort to arms.
The Jews. —The Be v. Mr. Dnffield, of Detroit,
who has spent the winter in tho East, iu a letter
from Jerusalem, says:
One of the most affecting sights I have witness
ed during my travels, was encountered yesterday
p. m. I repaired to the appointed spot to hear the
lamentations of the Jews over their desolated tem
ple, and scattered Dation. The site of the ancient
temple is now occupied hy the Mosque of Omar.
No Christian or Jew is allowed by the Musselmen
to enter its precincts. The nearest approach that
the Jews can make to it, is to the large and mas
sive stones of the wall which Solomon built from
the bottom of the narrow valley or ravine, called
the Tyropean, for the purpose of sustaining and
forming the terrace or arches, which were built
out from the base of the rock on its four sides, and
on which the temple od Mount Moriah was origi
nally constructed.
I saw thirty-five Jews, standing or seated, near
these stones, all of them bowing and restlessly
swinging to and fro, while they read their Scrip
tures in the Hebrew, and some weeping bitterly aa
they uttered their wail of distress.
One man sobbed as if his heart was ready to
break, while he stood readingand trembling with
emotion in his whole frame. Women, with white
scarfs thrown over their heads, passed mournfully
along the walls some kissed the stones with their
lips, others laid their hands on them, and then
kissed their hands, whilst most sat in a squatted
or Turk like position reading parts of their liturgy
in Hebrew. 1 ventured, with a courteous saluta
tion, to look upon the pa., e, from which an aged
man w s quietly reading. He politely point- d his
finger to the place. Ho was reading the 28th, 59'h
and 61th Psalm. The whole scene was so deep
ly moving, exhibiting iu such a powerful light the
sad reality ot the Jew’s great national sorrow, and
caused such a rush of solemn thoughts in my
mind, that I was quite overcome by it.
A Southern Lady Abroad. —lt has already
been noticed that our accomplished town’s woman
Mrs. Lcvert, left New York for England on the
steamship Atlantic. Iu her visit we, ofthe south,
have a double interest. Her presence, knowledge
and life-experience, are all in antagonism to the
twaUleoftr>eßtowe-rrmnia. This accomplished lady
has not alone the endorsement of her fanatic sec
tional friends—the whole Union speaks of her un
mitigated brilliance and excellence. In speaking
ofthe departure the “Mirror” of the 11th iust.,thos
expresses the general feeling of all who know Mrs.
Levert: “Few ladies have gone to represent u»
abroad, possessing as many attractive qnalifica
tions as Mrs. Levert. Bhe has half the languages
of Europe at ‘her tongue’s end’—conversing with
equal fluency and correctness in the French, Ita
lian, Spanish, and German. No American lady
possesses greater advantages for receiving or im
parting enjoyment during her tour : aDd no one
will have more welcome acoesa to the interior life
of the highest circles in Europe. She visits Eng
land with her father, and daughter, as the special
guest of Lady Emmeline Wortley, and at the feudal
residence of her father, the Duke of Buthland,
called “Bolvoir,” or familiarly Beevor “Casth.”
Few such structures of the olden time remain in
old England ; and few such daughters ofthe new
have visited the parent land as our own Mm. Oo

Balance ot Train.
The fisoal year cloaca with the current month,
ami there is already much solicitude exhibited in
regard to the balance which will then be atruokin
the foreign commerce of the country. Nearly two
thirds ot ull the foreign imports of the U. states
are received at this port; and the increase in the
receipts for the past eleveu months has been so
great us to attract tire serious attention ot all in
terested in commercial affairs. On the other hand,
but two filths of all the fore'gn exports (lass than
one third, exclusive of specie,) are shipped from
hence, so that the balance of trade appear* from
the result her< to preponderate greatly against the
country. The following will show precisely the
state of this trade aa exhibited by omoiel reoords
at this port:

Front this it will be seen that the foreign im
ports at this port for the eleven months of the sis
cal year have incroasod (88,421,418, while the ex
ports for the same time, exclusive of specie, have
only increased (8,927,680. Were tho comparison
to stop here, the prospect ahead for those engaged
in this tudo would be sufficiently discouraging ;
nut we hswd,. fortunately, the means of carrying it
farther and allowing a much more favorable bal
ance between these important items. To under
stand the caso fully, it will be necessary to look at
the comparative totals ot the gross imports and ex
ports from the United States for a few previous
years:

From the above it will be seen that if the ex- 1
ports from other ports have only increased in the
same ratio as at this port, the total will not be suf
ficient to balunco the increased imports. But we
arc prepared to show that the exports havo in
creased at other ports to a much greater extent
than ut this port, and fully sufficient to justify the
expectation that the officialbalanoe will not exhib
it tho striking difference whiob many panic-makers
are predicting. And hern wo would again oali at
tention to the fact that the newspapers at many of
the principal ports Beem to overlook the hnpor
tanoo of this subject, as they seldom furnish the
materials for a comparison of the total value of the
imports aud oxports from their respective districts.
A full and reliable statement of the value of ex
ports from Nuw Orloans for the lust eleveu mouths,
us compared with the correspo ding total for the
previous yeur, which might bo obtained from the
custom-house records there in a single day, would
ho worth a yeur’s subscription to all of the com
mercial newspapers pubhshod in thut olty. We
liuvo the means of approximating to the desired
result, by comparing the total exports and relative
price of cotton. For tho year ending June 80,
1852, the exports of cotton from the United States
to foreign ports, were 1,098,280,689 [rounds, valued
<t (87,(65,782, averaging 8.06 cents per pound.
The value of this item tor the ourrout year, we
propose to obtain as follows:

From July 1, ’52, to Juno 5, ’58.. 8.,757, 99 9,88; ,120
Tile average value for the period ending June
5,1852, is 8 V cents per pound, and for the period
just expired, 10 60 — 100 per pound. Let this form
tho basis of a comparison for the whole United
States. As the bulk of the cotton from other
ports avai ages u trifle less titan at this port, wo
may reckon the shipments for tho elovon months
•Hiding Juno 5, 1852, at 8.06 (the official average
for that year,) and compute the total for the cur
rent year at an advance corresponding to the ship
incuts us taken from officiul records at tbia port.
This gives us tho following:
Exports of Cotton from the United State*from July 1, la

Increased exporta of Oottou (19,601,882
It tiiis ratio of increase continues to the dose
of the year, tho exports of cottou alone will amount
to about $119,000,000, a nice little Bum towards
the balance of trudu. But the increased exports
•ire not confined to cotton. The increased ship
merits of wheat amount to 2,200,000 bushels, worth
$2,600,000; of flour, to 600,000 barn Is, showings
ditf rence (price con idered) of $8,('00,000: snd
many other articles in greater or less proportion.
This is easily sem by reference again to the ex
norm at this port. The total increase for eleven
months (exclusive of specie) amounts to $8,927,<8»,
while the value of shipmonta of ootton (less hav
ing cleared from this port) shows a decline of
$2,283,547 —thus leaving tho iuorease in other ar
tides $6,211,227. At all of the ports more loreign
goods have been re-exported then during the
former year.
There is another item of interest in this con
nection, wiiich we do not remember to have Been
noticed. Tho freight charges upon our exports
arc mostly puyable hero, and ther< lore this amount
may bo classed as ho much value exported. For
tiie current yoar, the price of freights have everged
fully one-third higher, than fur the eamo period
of the preceding year, this largoly increasing the
total to bo drawn tor. To give an idea ot the re
lative amount ot cotton shipped irom this port in
Amuricun and foreign vessels, we annex a coni
parutive xtat ement, taken from the result of three
months’ shipments within the year:
P mi nit it. Value.

Tho money paid abroad for t o pusssage of emi
griqits is also a large portion of it on Amoriaeu
ucoount. To earn tip tho whole case for the our
rent year, it would appear that though the entire
imports should rcaoh the sum of $240,000,000, or
even $260,000,000, the total of exports will com
pare us f'avorubly with it, as it has in the past.
Tiiis is further substantiated by the little demand
which lias existed for the export of specie, the
total for the last elovon months, at this port being
only $17,862,946, against $88,717,848, tor the eor
rcHpouding period of the previous year. It is very
likely that some articles of foreign produce have
been imported to excess, but the glut in the mar
ket will soon furnish the proper remedy. Taken
us a whole, our foreign oommerce ia in a healthy
condition, and the “ balance of trade” continues
in our favor.
The Philadelphia Ledger cautions capitalists
throughout the country against participating In
the present speculative movement in rail roads,
predicting that reverses most follow. It says:
The fancy rail roads now projected or in the pro
gress ot construction throughout the United States,
would require fjr their completion more than ten
times the whole trading capital of the country,
and more than all the wealth that California, for
the next thirty years, can pour into onr lap. And
the vast amount of money which is now being ex
pended on such rail road enterprises will, we are
afra'd, produce the same effect here, wbicii. a few
years ago, it produced in .England. It will pro
duce u crisis, the effect of whioh will be to sweep
all unprofitable or extravagent enterprises entirely
from the Held. It is the projection of unprofitable
roads, intended to force commeroe in a particular
direction, which not only prevents the completion
of solid enterprise, but by the absorption of capital,
acts injuriously on the whole communitiy.
One species of abuse to whioh the present rail
road mania has given rise, consist in the subscrip
tion of corporationists or particular roads of very
questionable expediency or profit. Ohio and some
other Western Statos have, under their new con
stitutions, prohibited municipal subseripions alto
gather, and a sense of justice toward the whole
community , as well as a proper regard lor economy
should restrain all corporations from lending their
aid, by engaging the public faith of cites and dis
tricts in enterprises of questionable feasibility, or
in snch as may be completed by private enterprise
without such aid. Still less can we approve of
the sohsciptioiis by corporations, to rival enter
prises for the purpose of favoring one road over
another. No corporation, it seems to ns, has a
right thus to enter upon, or cnoonrage a spirit of
rivalry between competitors for trade, or to uee its
wealth and influence in favor of ono route to the
injury or detriment of another.
it is absolutely esseutial to build roads to devel
op tlie great resources of onr large Atlantio cities,
such as New-York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Ac.;
but there ia no need of multiplying roads between
therame termini. If the state of trade and tho loca
tion of snch roads warrant it, private enterprise
will be abundantly eqnal to their construction.
The Washington Monument. —We yesterday
had the pleasure of examining tho beeatifol stone
taken from Bruddock’a Field intended fortbe Was
ington Monument. It is one stone of excellent
qn dity, about four feet nine inches and a a turner in
length, one foot nine inches in the wall. The face,
which will be seen after it inset in itsalloted place
in the Monument is an follows: —A margin of four
inches, which shows a panel all around, very
highly p lished, with the words—“ Prom Brad
duck's Fvld," in the centre, in large, eligible raised
letters, (pur inehes high, and projecting half an
inch beyond the surface of the panel, also highly
polished. The stone, in point of workmanship,
cannot be excelled for neati ess and beauty of
tinish. The whole expense of procuring the stone,
workmanship, transportation, etc., will be borne
by J. W. Buchanan, Esq., of this city, who has
devoted about two years to the selection of a stone
of a proper quality. It will be sent to Washing
ton during tue present week.— Pittsburg OattUt.
Yankee Notions in Ceylon.— A correspondent
of the Boston Journal, writing from the Island of
Ceylon, on the Bth of April last says:
Yankee notions are getting to be quite common
in India and Ceylon. American vessels bring
them to Madras and Colombo. Ice, apples ana
American flour are brought to these ports and
iogother with many other articles as solar lamps.
Connecticut clocks, <fco., are disposed of to good
advantage. Borne of the clocks sent to Madras
have Tamilfigurea upon the fuce for the conven
ience of natives, and to make them saleable among
those who know nothing of English. Becently a
half dozen of the cheap $1 spring clocks, made at
New Haven, have been received by members of the
American mission. As these oan be furnishing at r
price which brings them within the reaoh of ordina
ry natives, whose wages are high at twelve oenta
a day, they have excited much attention, and many
are the application of those who wish a clock to
bo ordered for them from America. Not less than
one-tbird of the thirty-three native workmen em
ployed in the American mission printing and bind
ing establishment at Manepy, have made this ap
plication. Seventy-five or a hundred clocks wonld
hardly be above the demand. Thus are Yankee
ingenuity and Connecticut machinery helping on
finely the great work of civilization, and human
renovation.
We read the followin(fin the Bilancia of Milan,
under the date ol Borne 3d; “A very painful dis
covery was made the other day in the Basilioa of

has also left with us Home blankets and sashes, the

also (riven us a sample of oottou, with the seed
from Parraas, in Central Mexioo, about *SO miles
West otthe Rio Grande, where it is cultivated to a
considerable extent, and ntauufaotured Into ha ivy
sheeting. Thire are three small oottou mills near
the town of Saltillo, doing e very good business
in making these goods from tbs oottou raised in
the country. The superintendent of ono of those
mills is flrorn Provide noc. The operatives arc all
Mexicans, and are found to acquire the art oi
tending the looms end other machinery, with
great facility.
The power for these three cotton and five grist
mills, is a little rivulet which issues front a spting
nearby ; and so precious is water in this region ;
that when the mills are not in operation at night,
the water is retained in a reservoir übove the mill
dam. After performing its works in the mills
named, it la led off in ditches to Irrigate the lands
nearby, which by this masnaalone, are rendered
fit for cultivation.
Tho Piuio and the Cooomaricopa Indians of the
«iver Gila allnded to, occupy the only portions of
ie valley susceptible of cultivation. They raise
their own cottou, wheat, oorn, melons, bonus, and
other vegetables. Their cotton, whioblsol'asups
rior quality, they Bpin and weave into a heavy dis
criptfon ol blanket of various sizes, which oonsti
tuto the sole article ot wearing apparel for both
sexes. They aso make a very pretty kind of sash
or belt of different eolors, which is used as an or
nament for the head, as well as a girt for tho b ly.
These Indiana ocoupy a portion of the same rtoh
valley, which was occupied in ancient times by
one ot those acini civilised races, whioh baa left bo
many remaina in the oountry referred to.
One of the moet remarkable of these edifices and
in the beat state ol preservation is about twenty
miles Tom tho Pimo villages. In the intermediate
spaoe are truces showing that the wholo district
was occupied. From the evidences collected ny
Mr. Bartlett, he belives these Indians aro the de
scendants of tho same peoplo, who in tormor
times cultivated the wholo valley ns fur as It la sus
ceptible of cultivation, but who have merely aban
doned their cnatoms of erecting largo buildings.—
All the other arts remain with them ; their pot
tery, however, soema to be Inferior to that found
among the ruins of the ancient edifices. They
still cultivate the soilaa successful as the Mexicans
can do; and though neither can boast of much
I industry, the Indiana may be said to bo the most
thrifty. They dig large and long canuls lor irri
gation, by whioh meaua alone they aro emit 1. d to
render the soil productive. The few cattle that
are neceasary for agricultural purposes, they raise.
The heat is so intense, and the atmosphere so dry,
that but little clothing is required.
Adjoining tho Pimos is a tribe called theCoeoma
ricopas, who have adopted tlicao sumo modes of
life, though their languago is totally different.—
This tribe is nearly allied to the Yumaa of the
Colorado, speaking languago nearly thu sumo, hut
between whioh tribes, the most deadly hostility
•exists. Tho CocomarSoopaa formerly dwelt on Ihe
Colorado, bat the Yumaa getting the udvnntsge
of tiiem, they fled for safety to the country or tho
Pimos, where they haveainoe remaimd; an ar
rangement of equal advantage to the Pimos, whose
limited numbers and peaceful mode of life
required a more warlike tribe near, whioh was
willing to share their fortunes with them.
We have also a specimen of the woolen blankets
made by the Navajo Indians, a large and powerful
tribe North of the Gila against whom we have sent
two large military expeditions, and in tho midst of
whose oountry Is Fort Defiance. Those Indiana
were the greatest robbers of slock in New Moxico,
and itia only sinoe the late < X|iedition of Colonel
Sumner against them that we succeeded in bring
ing thorn to terms.
None ot the aborigines of the Mississippi Valley
ever possessed the art of spinning and weaving;
and it seems a pity that some effort should not be
made by philanthropists to instruct such tribes ns
these we have mentioned, in otlior arts of civil

Manufacturing In Clarke County.
Athens and Clarke county, despite the prldlctions
ol croakers at home and envious comi etitors
abroad, are going ahead rapidly in the bn-ine.s
of Manufacturing and the other industrial pursuits
calculated to build up the country.
Within the present year the Steam Manufactur
ing Company, Foundry and Muctiine Shop, were
burnt out of “ house and home,” and in
six reeks their extensive buildings were re-built
und their multifarious business gon g alien. I more
extensively than in the beginning 1 For thus
ovinolng their determination to meet promptly the
expectations of thtir customers and tho pu blio, the
Company and its agents deserve great credit.
Messrs. Conger, Gove & Wood have, within the
S resent year, put in operation an extei sive win
ow suilt, blind, panel door, &c., establishment in
this place, the machinery of which is driven by
team. We sre pleased to leurn that it is doing
well.
Col. Wm. A. Carr has completed, or.nearly so, his
large saw and merchant mill, just over the river.
We are not advised whether he is ready to com
mence grinding, but the saw-mill hus been in
operation for some time.
A company of capitalists are ro-building at
Mar’s Hill -we understand that they will shortly
have in operation an extensive Carpet taotory.
The Messrs. Bommey and others aro about put
ting in operation a couple of miles from town a
Bobbin taotory. We understand the buildings
are up, the machinery here, and that it will be in
lull blast shortly.
Mr. John White, proprietor of the Goorgia
Faetory, is ereoting a splendid new and exicn-ive
Factory at or near the site of the present cstub
ishment—the machinery lor wliiob is on hand
ready to be pot in operation as soon as the build
ing is finished.
In addition to these, we understand an estab
lishment for prints is in contemplation.
These new establishments, together with tho
Athens Factory, the Princeton, K. R. Car Faetory,
the Watkinsville Steam Leather Company and
Flooring Mills, the Paper Mills, and other estub
menta which we have probably failed to enume
rate, must give a great impetus to all kinds of bu
siness in and around Athens, and place the day far
distant in the future, when, according to the croak
ers. “Athens must go down.” The truth is,
Athene u not going dotim,unii the sooner the croak
ers go to work and assist in building it up, the bet
ter will it be for all parties.
The true progress and prosperity of an inland
town is not to be measured alone by the number
of ootton bales and chiokena, or tho quantity of
corn and butter bought and sold in its market, hut
rather by the number and extent of those indus
trial establishments which create wealth—such ub
factories and workshops. Let our manufacturers
and mechanics beenoouragod then, and tiiis will
give an impetus to ail kinds of business, not only
in town, but throughont all the surrounding
oountry.
Although there are, in this town and county, an
unusually large number of manufacturing estsb
lishmeots,yet there is ample room for more. Abun
dance of water-power ana fuel, and a comparative
ly cheap market, offer great facilities for manufac
turing, either by steam or wator-power; und
we trust tb,e day is rapidly approaching when
every water-fall will be eulivehed by the buz of
machinery: snd the puffing and snorting of the
steam engine will be heard on every side. We
have thought, and still believe, that this town is
one of the very jest locations in the State—all
things considered—for a first-class flouring es
tablishment. The individual or company who
will make the experiment, if properly managed, ia
bound to ancceed.— Athene Herald.
The word “Statistics” was originated by Sir
John Sinclair, ot Sootland, daring the first part of
the present century. _ He also first exemplim d the
importance of the science—for it Is now no loss
thanascienoe—by publishing the most complets
tabular view of the condition of Scotland that was
ever given of any conntry. Since that, the valne
of accurate statistical knowledge has been more
and more appreciated, and, consequently the
knowledge itself more extensively gathered. Now,
indeed, nearly everv-thing that can be numbered
or measured, is made the subject of mil uto inquiry
and careful registry. What were formerly consid

Japanese Marriages.—A very singular custom
st tbe marriage of the Japanese is, that the teel I of
the bride are made black by corrosive liquid. Tbe
teeth remain black ever alter, and serve to show
that a woman is married or a widow. Another
circumstance is, at the birth of every child to plant
a tree in the garden or court-yard, which attains
its full growth In ss many y are as a rnan requires
to be mature for tbe duties of marriage. When
he marries, the tree is out down,, and the wood is
made into boxes, to contain the clothes and ether
things which are made for the new married couple.
The Japanese may marry as often as they please:
marriages with sisters are prohibited; but they
osn marry any other relative.

press says s delicate compliment has been paid to

by some of his friends in that city. Wishing to
testify their respect for Mr. Webster’s memory,
and their regard for Mrs. Webster, who is a New
York lady, they subscribed the sum of twenty fee
thousand dollar» as a present. They have tender
ed their liberal offering in the form of an elegant
residence, handsomely nrnished, or as an invest
ment, subject to her sole oontrol and for her sole
benefit.— Motion Journal.
SrLiNTBHS from the Boston Post.—“ Sammy, why

Novel Implement to Shave with.—Emerson
says that “every carpenter who Bhaves with « fore
plane borrows the genius of a forgotten invention.”
We cannot conceive how the feat of shaving with
s fore-plane can bo accomplished, withrut detri
ment to the nose, Slid should deem a smooth plane
better for a good shave. The enly cl iaeofeitixena
on whom such an implement would be practicable,
we should think, would be a board of aldermen or
a plank road eompany. At any rate we would not
advise any of onr young friends beginning to
shave tv try afore-plane upon any riioh hint as
the abort. _
