MISCELLANY.
From toe ImiUvUU Journal.
“ Dora” sings her Bird Song as exquisitely as
ever Jenny Lind sang hers:
A BIRD SONG.
It lingers in my memory even now,
As when It burst upon my ear at dawn—
A carolling so glad I half believed
It bad not quite dispelled my dreams, perhap.
A chorus from singing Fairy bands.
That per pie dram-land. Then, as I awoke,
The music melted to a warbling low
Os thrilliog sweetness; o'er and o'er were trilled
Those same toft notes—as from a loving heart
Come varied tender words, while they all breathe
The same sweet music of affection. Then
Like the strong conSdence or fervent love,
The birdling seemed awhile to triumph in
1 he fnllneM of hi. joy, and in hi. song
Was revelling in gladness for the morn.
Or tt might be, within that feathery breast
The fount of music dwelt, and the swift tide
Os melody came ever swelling forth.
Upon how many hearts that Mid-song fell
Unheeded—a glad group of children there
Mingled their ringing laughter And wild shonU;
Their every thought a sunbeam in life’s morn,
A worn and weary man, whose ear, so long
Voice, of arrow and of toil have filled,
That now discordant echoes ever ring
With mocking memories, thus deafening
Hi. ear for every sound of present joy.
The same swat air that bore away the song
Had jut received the struggling gasp of death,
And stricken heart breathes out their anguished wail
Os grief too dap for tears—Ah! thuaitis
The world goes on with all Its gladsome scenes
Altho’ there are so many broken hearts
Upon Me life tome shadow of great grief
Hu turned the heart to atone, and, tar by tear,
Mori we wear away their arrow—and their life.
And a perhaps mine wu the only hart
That treasured the glad mule of the dawn.
I thank thee, beauteou warb'er, for the lay-
Catch thy sweet notes, and larn tikethee to breathe
To friends I lore, th'affection deep and true
My heart has felt, hut lips have never leahied
To give it half iu utterance—then I’d sing
Like thee, from out some sweet retreat of peace,
Bongs rapturous with joy. True they might be
Unheeded in the bury world—but should
They fall upon one ear that loved th* voice,
I would ejoice, with thanks to thee, bright bird,
That myrheart answered to thine own glad song.

A Whole Family Destroyed.
The Maine liquor-law waa adopted by a popular
vote in Michigan on the 20th. Whereupon the
Detroit Tribune publishes the following:
Died. —On the 20th instant, Pure C. Brandy,
Ei'q., of dropsy. Thiß event is not altogether un
expected, a.- tue departed had been afflicted wtth
the diseaso which caused his death for a longtime.
Os late the quantity of water accumulatingTu his
system waa immense, and he had been tapped by
his physicians several times, but without effect.
Ho nad a large number of doctors, and some are
mean enough to say that that hastened his de
cease. His loss will be sensibly felt by his many
friends who were accustomed to see him daily in
our streets.
Also, on the same day. R. G. Brundy, Esq., fa
miliarly known by the sobriquetot ‘Rot Gut, and
brother of P. C., whose death we chronicle above.
Ho took a large quantity of poison (by mistake,
it is supposed) several years ago. No bad effects
wore realized at first, but for a few years past it
has beeu spreading through his system, and has
filially caused his death. It is to be hoped that
his death will be a warning to those who have
been in the habit of taking a poison for a medicine.
Also, on the same day. H. Gin, Esq. The de
ceased was a member or the Brandy family, and
a relative by marriage. He was a nativo ot Hol
land, and fled to the United States several years
ago, in consequence of having been actively en
gaged in one of the revolutions that characterize
that country. He waspursu dby the police, but
secreted himself in a cask, and landed safely in
New York. Since then many of his family have
made their escape in the same manner. lie left,
a large family of children, most of whom were
born in this country, but we are sorry to say are
uot characterized by any of the traits of their dis
tinguished fathor.
Also, on the sume day, Rye W hiskey. Esq., Mr.
W. was one of the first settlers of Michigan. In
early life, he was au industriouß, hard-working
man. He has done much to build up our rail
roads and public works, and could always be
found in the harvest field early oud late. Some
tew of our tanners thought they could not har
vest thoir wheat unloss Mr. W. was with them to
cheer up their hands. How they will manage to
do so since his death, we are unable'to say. It
may lead to disastrous results, and it is leured
by some that our farmers may cease to grow
wheat, which iuovitably raises the price of flour.
Os late years, however, Mr. W. had grown
shiftless, noisy, and quarrelsome, and any neigh
borhood that ho visited was sure to be the scone
of disturbance of every nature. The too frequent
occurrence of street fights got up by Mr. W. was
the ultimate cause of his death. He was killed by
a blow outhe head with a ballot box, in open day
light. The perpetrators of the deed are not fully
known, but suspicion rests iipou two men whose
names wo believe are Mr. Law and Mr. Order.
Several men from the Free Press office are on the
watch, and ere this no doubt thoy have appre
hended them.
It is seldom that we have to announce the death
of an entire family, thus swept away at one fell
swoop. They were all men well kuown in our
State, and have acted in many public capacities;
someone of them has boon a membt r of every
Legislature since our organization as a State. In
primary inoetingß and caucusos they have suc
ceeded iu nomiuating their own friends to office,
and afterward iu electing them. There is hardly
an officer in the State but what owes to them bis
election.
At the request ot the frieuds of the deceased,
their remains will not be interred until December
next. Those who wish to take tl a last fond look”
can do so at the groceries and saloons in town.
The Pauper Dead at Naples.—A writer in the
Cincinnati Gazette given the following account of
a visit to the place where the pauper dead of Na
ples are buried:
About two miles from the city, in a large square
place, enclosed by a high wall, there are 866 cis
tern-shuped vaults or pits, with an aperture ou top
about three feet square. These cisterns are some
twei.ty or twenty five feet deep by twelve or fif
teen feet in diameter, with the opening covered by
a heavy stone, and tightly cemanted. One of these
is renewed by a portable lever every day in the
year, to receive the dead of that day, and it is then
closed again for a year. They begin to deposit
the bodies about 6 o’clock in the evening and end
at 10. Wi- on I got there about feu or twelve peo
ple had already been thrown in, and were lying
promiscoualy us they chanced to fall, with head,
body and limbs in every possible attitnde, across,
over and under each other. An old priest, two or
throe attendants, and a few idle speculators of the
common sort wore loitering about.
Shortly after my arrival, a box was brought,
containing the body of a child some fonr or five
years old; itshand held a bunch of fiowors, and
a rose was in its mouth. The priest mumbled a
short prayer, sprinkled it with holy water, abd
turned away; a man then took the little fellow by
the neck and heels and pitched him as be would a
stick of wood; hid head struck the cufbas he went
in, and he went whirling to the bottom; seeing the
flowers that fell from his hand, he toot them np
and threw them after it. In a few mfnntes mote
a man was brought, to the mouth of the pit; the
prießt again prayed and sprinkled, the attendants
took him up by the bead and legs, and down he
went also.
Then followed another child like the first, and I
was about leaving the ground, when a fourth sub
ject entered. The lid of the box was thrown back,
and it was the body of a young and rather hand
some female. She was apparently about twenty,
and died evidently from some short illness. Her
arms and face were round and full, and she ap
peared more asleop than dead. The prayers and
noly water were again in requisition : the atten
dants took her roughly np and tossed her in. I
immediately st—ppea to the mouth of the vault and
looked down; her limbs, and those of the dead i e
low she had disturbed by her fall, were still in mo
tion. Her head was Blowly turning, and her hair,
which was long, black and luxuriant, was BetUng
in thick clusters across a very white and naked
body, lying near her. For a moment the whole
horrid mass seemed instinct with life, and crawl
ing on the bottom of its loathsome cbarncl house.
I had seen enough; sick and disgusted I turned
away, and moralizing on the difference between
suoh an interment and a peaceful one in our own
beautifnl cemetery at Spring Grove, I mounted
my volaute and returned to Naples, meeting on
my road some halt a dozen boxes, great and small,
containing more victims for that insatiable maw
that opens its month but once a year to be gorged
with its dreadful banquet.
The bodies thus interred are generally from the
hospital, and the sight can be witnessed by one
865 times a year. Before the pit is closed, quick
lime is thrown in, and nothing bat bones are left
when it is again opened.
Ciyilttisa Fortune. —Civility is a fortune in
itself, for a courteous man always succeeds in
life, and that even when persons of ability some
times fail. The famous Duke of Marlborough is a
case in point. It was said of him, by one cotem
poarv, that his agreeable manners often converted
an enemy ioto a friend; and by another, that it
was more pleasing to be denied a favor by bis
Qraie, than to receive one from other men." The
gracious manners of Cbaa. James Fox preserved
him from personal dislike, even at a time when
l.e was politically the most unpopular man in the
kingdom. The nistory of our own country is full
of examples of success obtained by civility. The
experience of every man furnishes, if he will but
recall the past, frequent instances where reconcili
atory manners have made the fortunes of physi
cians, lawyers, and divines, politicians, merchants,
and, indeed, individuals of all pursuits. In being
introduced to a stranger, his affability, or the re
verse, creates instantaneously a prepossession in
his behalf, or awakens unconsciously a prejudice
against him. To man, civility is, in fact, what
beauty is to woman; it is a general passport to fa
vor ; a letter of recommendation written in a lan
guage that every stranger understands. The best
ot men have often injured themselves by irrita
bility and consequent rudeness, as the greatest
scoundrels have frequently succeeded by their
plausible manners. Oi two men, equal iu all other
respects, the courteous oue has twice the chance
for fortune.
The Season. —We have within the past two
weeks hud a number of hue nuns, and crops have
been much improved by them, especially late com.
A number of planters tbrongh this section, taking
the alarm from the dronsht, upon the occurrence
of the first rain in June, planted more corn, which
now promises well. Accounts from other parts
•f the State are now also more encouraging, and
we begin to dismiss the fear of any great /amine
the coming year as to the neumanas of life.—
Southern Recorder, 26 th inet.
The aggregate value of real and personal estate
in the city ofNew-York, aocording to the valua

Commencement.— The commencement exercises
of Madison Female College is going on at this time,
and there is an unusual number ot strangers in
attendance. We have not had much time to de
vote to bearing the examination of many of the
claases, but those few we have heard, acquitted
themselves in a manner highly creditable, both to
themselves and instructors and from tbe enthusi
astic manner we have heard many of the Board of
Visitors speak of the examination of the pupils we
are satisfied, that this Institution, will lose noth
ing ot the high reputation it has already attained.
The graduating class, we presume, will be as
Urge or larger than any other institution in the
Btata, either male or female being twenty-seven
in number. We will give a more detailed scoount

frinnd b»* sent or a copy, issued May, B,ITBB,
of tpe New York Journal and Weekly Register,
No. 108, of VoL XLll.—published Daily at $6 and
” at t 2 per annum, from No. 25 W ater sL,
b - v Thomas Green leaf. It is about one-fourth the
size oi the Daily Tribune, and contains perhaps,
on< -eighth as much reading as this sheet, being a
‘pi'O °f four columns on each page. Though two
thirds of the paper are allotted to Advertisements,
their total number is thirty-eight, whereof, several
are announcements of books, pamphlets and
tracts for sale by the publisher at the office afore
said. Os the remainder, Orange county contri
butes (in legal notices) a good proportion, leaving
las than thirty for the general business of our
City. Os these announcements of “The Ameri
can Magazine,” “The American Musenm,” and
other publications, absorb fully one-half, leaving
far less tbuti enough to 811 two of our Adverti
sing columns for general merchandize. There
were of course, no Steamboats, no Bailroada
in those days, but there were not even re
gular lines ot sailing vessels leaving New
York for any foreign port, and the European
news in said paper was received via St. Eustatia.
One broker, one dentist, one washerwoman, two
dealers in dry-goods, and one firm engaged in
manufacturing “Patent Composition Fanlights,”
aie among the advertisers, while pamphlet:; com
mending or condemning the Federal Constitution,
then reeeutly trained but uotyet fully ratified, are
freely advertised—the famous letter ol Luther
Martin (a Delegate from Mary laud) among others.
Two rival lines ol Stages advertised to carry pas
sengers to Philadelphia from “Powlea Hook” (Jer
sey City) for “Three Spauish. Milled Dollars”—
(which is less than the Railroad Monopoly charged
down to a recent day.) The stages left “Powles
“Hook” at 3 and 4 P. 4L, stopped at Elizabeth
town over night, took an early start thence at 8
A. M„ next morning, and were driven throngh to
Philadelphia by 8 l’. M.—which probably stretched
ffftenorto 10. There was a slow and easy line.
Feaving Powles Hook at 7 and Philadelphia at 8
eseh morning, for “those gentlemen aud ladies
who wish to indulge theuoseloes iu the worn- ug ,
«re, they took tueir comfort inthoee old times,
though they did rumble along ta Philadelphia in
stages, and didn’t have much money.
Sixty-five years ago our people were first begin
ning to consider that they should soon want a
President and that George Washington was their
man. The French Eevolntion was quietly prepar
iog for its first grand outburst, which took place
next year. Warren Hastings was on trial before
the British House of Lords for his cruelties in In
dia. William Pitt was the British Premier.
There was trouble with the Creek Indians in Booth
Carolina and Georgia. A Threshing Machine had
just been invented in Maryland, and a Seed
Drill in Massachusetts. The following letter iu
the old Journal before us conveys information of
one of the first experiments in Cotton-growing at
the South, aud was doubtless read witli as much
incredulity or indifference by the Old Fogies of
that day as is auy thing now said in favor of Tea
or Silk Culture in this country :
Chabuiston, April 12, 1788.
A correspondent has favored as with the fol
lowing information, which he tells ns may be re
lied on : A gentleman in Christ Church parish
planted ono aero of land with cotton seed which
has producod a bag of cotton wool, weighing 267
lbs. neat: this ho has sold at 15d. per lb., so that
he got for tbo whole £l6 18s 9d. It was on ex
amination, of an exceeding good quality. The
planter declares that had he attended it properly,
he would have produced more. He further says
that one of his hands could with ease take care of
seven or eight acres, until the cotton is ready to
take in, at which time he must have the assis
tance of small negroes to pick and carry it into
safety. As the mode of cleaning it in this country
formerly is what the plant .rs dislike, we have the
pleasure to add, that there are persons in this
State who can inuko the necessary machines for
picking it, as well as for carding and spinning it.
This commodity bids fair to become a principal
staple article of export from this State, for if one
negro can manage seven acres of cotton, and it
sellß at the above price only, his lubor will bring
his owner in £ll6 16s. 3d. per annum supposing
also that eaeh acre of land produces only 267 lbs.
of cotton. It is well known tbut the cotton manu
factories in Great Britain will take any quantity
that this State can raise, as they are deemed by
good judges to be now only in their infancy.—
Lund that is unfit for rice or corn will yield
collou; as negroes in raising this articlo will have
no occasion to wet'thcir feet, they willof course be
more healthy, and will livo longer than they do by
raising rice in swamps. Besides which, as they
will bo able to cam so much money by the culti
vation of it, the planters will thereby raise the
value of every negro now in this State.
The Foreign (European) news in that old paper,
though closely condensed, has so many points of
resemblance to that which we are from clay to day
called to publish, that wc can net refrain from
copying nearly all of it—as follows:
New-York, Muy 8, 1788.
Yesterday arrived hero thesohooner Letty Niell,
in 16 days from St. Enstatia.
All the material intelligence by tbe late arri
vals, which the public have not already had, is
comprised in the following abstract from European
papers.
That France does not appear inclined to make
any reduction in her army; on tho contrary, she is
adopting measures for augmenting it. That many
volunteors from France hud entered iuto the ser
vice of Kussia against the Turks : and not a few
bud gone to Constantinople, to offer their services
against the Empress of Kussia. That tho position
of the two armies of Russia and the Porto was,
when the last letters came away, ua critical as
■could bo ; scarcely anything, but the River Neis
ter, separated them , the adjoining country is of
course denopuhtod, one part of the inhabitants
passing into Poland, tho other spreading through
Moldavia. That the standing army of the Turks
is now upwards of 400,000 ; that of Russia 300,000.
That the Porte appear determined to refuse every
proposition for peace, till the Crimea is restored to
them. That several accounts from various quar
tors, advise that the Porte has refused all terms of
accommodation ; that the Grand Siguior was de
termined upon war and upon taking the field him
self. That discerning politicians think this war
will, ovontually, involve ull Europe. That Bel
grade was invested by tho Emperor of Germany’s
troops on tho 26th of January. That a brisk skir
mish had happened in Bosnia betweeu the Turks
and Imperialists, in which the latter suffered
much; and that arencountrehad also happened be
tween the Russian and Emperor’s troops in Ga
ticia, owing to a mistake of both parties, in which
a great deal of blood was spilt. That tbo Dey of
Algiers had sent a considerable sum to tbe Porte,
for carrying on the war against the Russians, and
also four large galleys, and soveral brigates to
join tho Turkish fleet. That his most Chris
tian Majesty had ordered two camps to be
formed in French Flanders, one at Valenciennes
and the other at Lisle. That the Dauphin of
France was somewhat recovered from his late
illnesß; but his delicate constitution does not fore
bode his over arriving to the age of manhood.—
That notwithstanding the popular act lately passed
in favor of the French Protestants, the King and
Queen do not venture in public. That the Parlia
ment of Paris bad protested against the despotic,
dangerous and unconstitutional use of Letters de
Oatchet. That tbo people in France were exaspe
rated sgainst the measures of tbe King and Minis
try, in exiling the Duke of Orleans, imprisoning
two of the membors of Parliament, and banishing
a third ; and that the flame of liberty blazes in
every part of France. That tho constant annual
importation, aud of course the anuual consumption
of Negroes in America and the West Indiaislands
is supposed to have been of late years, on an ave
rage, sixty thousand. Tdat the very learned Abbe
Raynal states the total importation from Africa,
siuco the slave trade first begun (in 1548) at nine
millions of slaves. That the cry for the abolition
of the slave trade seems very general throughout
England. That the number of petitions and ap
plications to Parliament, and to individual mem
bers, for the abolition of the slave trade is greater
than almost ever was known in any other case ;
aud the subject it is supposed, will and indeod
must, undergo a thorough investigation. The
wishes ofawhole nation, orat least the majority
of a nation, claim and the wisdom and ability ot
the British Premier (Mr. Pitt) will ensure a fair
hearing.”
J edediah sees tbe Twins.— After dickering
some time with the long-legged door-keeper, Jede
dinh Homespnn went op and Bpent a quarter to
eee the Siamese Twins. Looking at the curious
pair for some time, Jed busted—
“ How long you fellers been In that are kind of
hitch ?”
“ Forty-two years,” was Eng’s reply.
“ Du tell! girtin' kind o’ used to it, I kalkelate,
ain’t you ?”
“ We ought to be,” said they.
“Yes, 1 vow you ought. You fellers b’long to
the same church—’speet you do.”
“ Yes, indeed,” said Chang.
“ Want to know Well, I swan, you are hitch
ed quoer,” said Jed, minutely examing the liga
tures. “ One of you fellers dies, ’tother feller be
in a pucker, I reckon.”
“ W ould be bad,” said Chang.
“ Don’t drink nothin’, I guess—ever go in to
swim?”
“Sometimes,”said they.
After gazing at them a few minutes in silence,
Jed again busts—
“ Look here, ’spose one of you fellers got into a
scrape, and was about to be pat in jail, how do you
manage that ?”
“ Oh !” says Eng, “I go Chang’s bail.”
“ Oh! yes, could do that, by hoky 1”
And Jedediah, having exhausted his cross-exam
ination, went off whistling, giving a fresh lot of
examiners room to put the twins through a course
of similar sprouts.— Boston Post.

Vagranct in England—The Census of 1851, in
Englaud, shows that, on the night when the oensus
was taken, more than thirty thousand persons
were destitute ot a root to cover them. Fourteen
thousand of these, in round numbers, were sleep
ing on barges and other vessels; ten thousand in
fields or tents; and over six thousand in barns.
Most of these persons were what are called “tram
pers,” that is, they were on their way from parish
to parish : for if they had been permanent vagrants
in any particular Bpot, and known to be such, they
would nave been arrested and sent to the House
of Correction. What a frightful idea this gives of
English pauperism! If there are continually thirty
thousand homeless wonderers in that country on
the wing, so to speak, from parish to parish, what
must be the number of the entire indigent popula
tion of that kingdom, considered the wealthiest in
Christendom! For there are twenty vagrants,
doubtless, in the work-house, where there is one
who has managed to elude the law; and there are
twenty persons suffering, more or less, from indi
gence, tor every single vagrant in the poor house.
It is only when we look at the subject, in a light
like this', that we realise how terrible is the des
titution in England. Thirty thousand persons
without a roof to sleep under—whst a fact to go
down in history, as s picture of tbe nineteenth
century.”
“We wish,” says tbe Presbyterian Quarterly
Review, “ that Mr. Dickens coaid be persuaded
for ODoe, if only for the sake of van* ty and truth
to nature, to become acquainted with one decent
minister of any denomination, and give us his
portrait as sn offset to the disgusting hypocrites
he delights to paint. Is there no such thing as an
honest man in England preaching the Gospel ?”

Artesian Wells.
A correspondent of the Memphis Appeal, who
suggests the propriety of supplying that city with
water by means of an Artesian Well furnishes the
following interesting excerpts in relation to these
wells:
“The origiu of Artesian wells is very ancient—
the first diggings of which we have any record,
were made tu 1126, in Artois, in France, hence
their name, Artesian Wells. Divers European
nations, among which arc England, Germany end
France claim the priority of the invention j bnt
both the Chinese and Egyptians, were acquainted
with Artesian wells.
The Artesian well iB bnt a research made by
means of tho drill for a stream underground,
whose resorvoir will give it sufficient force to
cause it to ascend to the surface of the earth. The
earth’s crust is composed of parallel beds, which
arc separated by joints well drained, andthese
bods have been modified by the successive de
posits of water whioh have coursed at diferent
epochs, the surface of the continents. The Jarth’s
regularly stratified horizontal beds, hate re
ceived successive shocks which have dislooated
aud inclined them. Before determining the lo
cation of an Artesian well, it is necessary to ex
amine the section of couutry, the level of its
rivers and valleys, and tho dip of the strata.—
With these given the scientific man can deter
mine approximately the necessary depth 4f the
well.
The quantity of water to be obtained from a
well, depends entirely upon its geographical and
hydrographic conditions ; it may vary from ten
gallons to twelve hundred gallons a minute, or
1,728,000 gallons every 24 hours.
Artcsiau wells not only give soft wator to cities,
towns and villages, but are equally valuable
to extensive farms and faotories, guarding them
against the long drouths which sometimes happen
in the samtner time: manufacturers would not
suffer for want of water, in the driest summer,
their reservoirs could be constantly etpplied; and
the extensive farmer could also derive an equal
benefit by judicious irrigation.
Within a few years, this means of obtaining
water has been extensively prosecuted in Europe,
where there are now more than 1000 wells.—
Venice situated on the Adriatic sea, and entirely
surrounded by salt water, with a population of
125,000 souls, is supplied abundantly by four
Artesian wells. The well of Grenelle, Paris, fur
nishes waterto more than 70,000 people; the water
in this well flows 112 feet above the surface of the
ground. The inhabitants of tho town of Sheerness,
England, are supplied with water from two Arte
sian wells. The provinces of Modena and Bolog
na, in Italy, for a long time have been supplied in
the same manner, and so have Borne jarta of Lon
don. The famous Artesian salt well at Kisscn
gen, in Batavia, was commenced eighteen years
ago, and which it was feared would ha veto be
abandoned as a failure, has recently given the
most satisfactory results. The town is located in a
saline valley, nine hundred and eighty-four feet
above tbe level ofthe Baltic sea. Finally, in Oc
tober 1850, at the depth of two thousand and sixty-
Bcven feet, perseverance was rewarded hv com
plete success. A violent expiosiou burst away the
scaffoldiDg built to facilitate the operations, and
a column of water four and a half inches in diame
ter, spouted forth to the height of ninety-eight
feet abovethe Burfaco. The water—dear as crys
tal is a temperature of 66 /ah. and is abundantly
charged with salt. 6,600,000 poundß of salt is made
perannnm, valued at 800,000 florins, after deduct
ing all expenses.”
There are a great many Artesian wells in the
United States. The wells in Selma, Caliawba and
Montgomery Ala., discharge an abundance of wa
ter, some ot which discharge as much as 1300 gal
lons per minute, and none of them are more than
950 feet deep. The well at Columbus, Miss., is
situated 100 feet above low water mark, and is 565
feet deep, and discharges about 80 gallons per
minute. The temperature of the water is 65 /ah.
while that of the ordinary wells in the vicinity, 80
end 40 feet deep, is 62 /ah. The well in Charles
ton is 1060 feet deep, and the water rises 12
feet above the surface. The well at Corpus Chris
ti, Texas, has reached a depth of 880 feet, and
sends forth s handsome volume of white sulphur
water. The well at St. Louis, Mo., has reached a
depth of 1590 feet, and a copious stream of sulphur
water flows from the well, having precisely the
same taste of Blue Lick water in Kentucky. It is
calculated from recent indications, that a supply
ofgood pure water will be obtained, and as the
strata in which they are now boring, is of soft
white sand stone.
The Artesian well in Westphalia, Germany, is
2-385 feet deep, and discharges 10,000 gallons per
minute, the temperature of the water is 98 fah.—
Boston, Mass., originally derived its supply from
wells, there were 2767 wells for pnblie use, 86 of
which were Artesian wells.
There is an Artesian well in Erie, Green county,
Ala., 470 feet deep, which discharges 850 gallons
per minute ; the water rises 50 feet above the sur
face of the ground.
The Spiarre in Stria. —The Sheik Bechir is a
personage of acquirements: he has a store of his
tory and literature; his conversation is superior to
that of his countrymen, and he has, to complete
the superiority, the fame of a wonderworker, and
the advantage of interview with the spirits of
another world! Wbo can resist such proofs of
power as these ? He will place a jug between the
hands of two persons sitting opposite to each other,
which, on the recital of certain passages taken in
discriminately from the Koran ana the Psalms
of David, will move spontaneously round to the
astonishment of all beholders. A stick, at bis
bidding, will move unaided from one end of the
room to the other. A new Testament, suspended
from a key by a string, will tum violently round
of itself. An egg boiling in the saucepan will be
made to spring suddenly out of the water, and be
carried to e considerable distance. A double
locked door will unlock itself. But the following
trick seems to ns the strsogeet of all. On two
earthenware jars being placed in oppsite corners
of a room, one empty and the other filled with
water, the empty jar, on the recital of certain pas
sages, will move across the room—the full jar will
of itself pour its contents into the empty one, * hich
will return to the piece whence it came.— OurcMWt

Hints on Learning, Without a Teacher.
Mechanics are, in many cases, debarred from
obtruding even a thorough academic training, and
are forced by circnmstancea to don the overalls
with no very decided taste for books or thirst for
information of ant kind. It is too often the caso
that young men ol'only middling energy are gra
dually drifted forward into active life with no de
finite end or aim, but this is foreign to our present
purpose. Our present object is to furnish some
hints, if the experienee or another may boa guide,
to those actually desirous of supplying, by diligent
application, the deflciences of an imperfectscnool
ing, and of placing themselveß in Borne degree,
on a par with the most book-worm graduate.
This is notimpossibie, noris it in fact us diffi
cult as may be imagined. In one point tbe supe
riority of alternate study and labor, as coinpured
with constant aud unremitted atudy—the self
made, or rather the ss/f-mal-inp man, has a deci
ded advantage. Studying 10, 12, or 16 hours out
of the 24, if ft docs not permanently breuk down
is certain to temporarily impair the physical
health, and through this channel weakens tbe
mental power» And itmay perhaps be assumed
as a general fact, that three hours study per day,
under lavorablccircuinstanoes.i*at lama.hall -aa
tjtreetivJlSk the greatest number which can pos
sibly be endured without injury. If this be cor
rect, if one studious hourofihe workman is worth
two or three studious hourß ot the professional
student, the mochanio possesses facilities for self
instruction which he is almost culpable for ne
glecting.
To make studying witbouta teacher a still great
er source of pleasure, shopmates may mutually
agree to pursue together auy partici lar branch :
Hot to study together, but to compare notes, and
qomment on the points successively brought into
view. Any larger combination of individuals lor
siach a purpose is too apt to degenerate after a
ftw efforts, and perhaps the studious man may
iid ft difficult to find even ono who will keep pace
With him. Mutual assistance is desirable, how
ever, when practicable, as the exercise of cora
uieuting on or explaining a point benefits both the
parties.
1 To compensate for the absence of a teacher to
consult on the knotty questions perpetually arising
use at the same time two text books. This is the
most important suggestion we have to make in
connection with the whole subject, and its value
will be readily appreciated. It matters little
whether it boa primary and simple “introduc
tion,” or couohed in the most abtruse and scien
tifically aocurate language ; even if it be an old
and musty volume, without covers, title, index,
beginning or ending, if it contains one inothod ot
presenting the subject, seize it and place it by
the side of your principal and standard text-book.
Two or three are sufficient. Tho language of one
will be found to match ovor the joints on the
other, elucidating tbo obscure passages, and pre
venting the possibility ot misapprehension. In
this recommendation wo refer particularly to works
on mathematics and kindred sciences, on which
the varions authors may be supposed perfectly to
coincide. This plan of using two or more boobs
tends also to correct u too common defect of
school instruction—seizing and romombering the
languago without the ideas, a parrot-liko power of
re-echoing tho sounds without fully realizing the
moaning—a species of learning, without knowing
or receiving and retaining without possessing.
While recommending this method for tho full
understanding of a point, the opposite course is
preferred for remembering. Learning is a com
pound operation. To master a sutfect consult
every practible source: to fie the result, Btore ono
rule in the memory. The multiplicity of rules is
rather an objection than otherwise to Greenleaf’s
highly popular arithmetic, as they tend to confuse
the memory alter a lapse of time. That rule for
which the reason Is most apparent, is preferable
to an arbitrary and unreasonable one, even if the
latter be a trifle shorter.
But however judicious may be the means em
ployed for overcoming and obviating all unneces
sary difficulties, tho acquisition of knowledge, or
rather that training of the faculties which may be
Serly oollod education, oan never be accom
ed without labor. There is no railroad np
;be bill of science, or, if such exists, there are no
“dead-heads” among tho passengers. The tickets
must all be paid for, paid for in labor, and
that, tbongh pleasant, must be earnest and
long continued. Industry, cheerfulness, and tho
roughness must be the watchwords ; and unless
fully resolved on application, as well bo content
with a general undefined smattering, ora positive
ly erroneous notion, as to attempt studying, for it
is all yon will obtain. The morning will he found
the best period for deep and close thinking, the
evening for remembering. In the morning the
miud is clear, strong, ana capable of penetrating
at once the series of sentences over which the half
closed eyes at evening may ran repeatedly in vain.
On the other hand, tbe language of a rule, the
enunciation of a general principle, a name, date,
&c.. left on the tablet of the memory during a
night’s rost is more indelibly fixed. But this
may vary with the individual. Follow yonr own
convenience or inclination in these respects, bear
ing in mind that the early morning hours are least
liable to be interrupted, whether by your own in
clination for amusement and social intercourse, or
by the demands of others upon your time.
It may be needless to urge upon tbe attention of
intelligent yonng men, that their education how
ever favorable may have been the circumstances,
can never be completed. There is alwajs much
to learn, always a bounless mine to explore, stored
with the richest treasure to reward the seeker;
and theman youngor old. whoueglectsto establish
- and carefally cherish a baoit of close attention
• and dilligent study in all matters which appertain
to his business or profession deserves what be is
pretty certain to realize, an inferior, or at best, a
i medium position under those who have been more
fortunate or more industrious.
The Caterpillar in Cotton.— The following let
ter in the Concordia Intelligencer will prove of
interest to cotton planters;
I send you the following, my plan for prevent
ing the caterpillar in the cotton field, which you
may publish if you think proper for the benefit
of the planting community. Jay doctrine is, no
cure no pay.
The whole existing creation is inclined to seek
foi light and white colors when in the dark ; even
man cannot help admiring white objects. Tbe
butterfly is particularly fond of them; they go
where they please, having tbe advantage of wings,
possessing very little instinct, and having no in
cumbrance to reach the spot they seek. They will
not only goto white objects, but will remain there,
be well contented, lay their eggs, about fifteen
hundred each, and hatch there.
For the purpose, therefore, of gathering the r
eggs, I will place three or four clean white linen
orrotton flags, of about a yard square, for each
acre of cotton, standing about from two to four
feet above the cotton. They will batch on the
flag, bat there being no food for them on it, and
not being able to go in pursuit of any, combined
with their inability to stand tbe heat of the sun,
they cannot live. The flag should be set in tbe
field a short time before the coming of the but
terfly; but they must be clean, as all love neat
ness and purity.
To draw them from a further distance I would
put up flags six feet square, standing from four to
six feet above the cotton, cut a hole through the
centre large enough to place a lantern showing
light on both sides. But experience has proved
to me that the light is of no great necessity, not
withstanding I have so instructed the Patent
Office. „ T
Both the above plans answer very well. 1 am
ftally convinced of the benefit to be drived from
them, and wish planters to be satisfied before I
claim one cent. For farther inquiries direct to

B On Sunday, the 17th inst., the exercises of the
5 Commencement week began with the Baooalatire
! ? te ,Sermou by the President. It was appropriate,
- judicious and practical. On Monday night there
t was a spirited contest tordoclamation prizes by the
- Sophomore class. The first prize was awarded Mr.
t Underwood, of Ala., the second Mr. Wrenn, of
Ala. The Bev. Mr. M’Oaulev, oi Millodgeville,de
livered the prizes, accompanying them with a very
appropriate and happy address. The Junior ex

fully the character of the exercise. But a small 1
portion of the class took part in this service. A
crowded house listened to the address of Wed
nesday— Commencement day. The graduating
class is a promising one. It consisted of twenty
threoin all—two irregular. We understand that
seven ; at least, of those young gentlemen have the
Christian ministry in view, ana that no less than
ten of this class expect to become teachers. We
rejoice that these two noblest of human pnrsniLs
will engage the attention and enorgios of thoso
educated young men.
The address before the Sooieties by Honry M
Law, Esq.,ot Savannah, was rich in bcanty’both
of expression and delivery. Altogether the Com

A Recommendation for umet.—The Knicker
bocker for July contains a number of specimens
of letters from office-seekers and their friends.
We copy ono from Mr. Twist to Gov.JMurcy on be
half of a gentleman who is ready at any moment
to die for his country and n fat office:
“ The bearer, Martin Van Buren Phips, is an
applicant foi some easy office, and, I am lappy to
say, is an out and out Democrat. He voted for
Van Buren in ’4O, for Polk in ’44, and in 48, being
somewhat puzzled with tho claimsof the contend
ing factions, polled two votes, ono for Van
Buren and one lor Mr. Cuss, evincing a spirit ot
conciliation and hightotiod principle which pntsto
the blush all other compromise measures. Mr.
Phips, I can truly say, is an active, energetic, and
industrious Democrat, but is unable to discharge
very many out-door dutio-, as he is suffering uu
der a physical disability, having some two years
since, sprained his ankle badly. The circumstan
ces attending this physical disability may not be
uninteresting, as illustrative of the sterling Demo
cracy inherent in tho mau. They are these: Ho
was engaged witli some young Demoorats raising
a hickory pole. They had accomplished their ob
ject, and young Phips determined to place tho
stare and stripes upon the top of the pole. For this
purpose lie commenced climbing; bnt, alas 1 nav
ing arrived at the dizzy height often feet, the polo
gave way, and ho was hurled miserably upon the
errtb, with a severe contusion upon tho fleshy
part of the leg and with his lolt foot sprained ter
ribly. Apparently not realizing the extent ot tho
injury, he waved the tattered ensign over his con
tused frame, and gave three hearty cheers for
Jumes K. Polk. Such Domocruev ought not to go
unrewarded; aud 1 hope you will bo able to place
our unfortunate friend in somo eusy position
where his physical disability will not be antagonis
tic to his progressive Demoeraoy.

Commodore Stringuam at Constantinople.— On
tho 15th of June, Commodore SStringlium, m cun
mand ofthe American squadron on the Mediter
ranean, and tho officers of his staff, had an inter
view with the Sultan of Turkey, at the Palace of
Cheragan. The gallant Commodore addressed
the Sultan briefly, assuring biin of tho high esti
mation in whioh he aud his government were held
in tho United States, to which the Sultun made a
gracious reply. He expressed his gratification
at beholding tho Commodore at Constantinople,
and the satisfaction he felt at beholding strength

exist between the Sublime Porte and the govern

Three Score aSD-Ten.—When I was a boy I
used to think three score-and-ten years a very
sufficient spell efthis world. I wondered how
anybody could grumble at so liberal allowance of
life ; and indeed, for my own share, I would no
more nave hesitated to give up my claim to the
odd ten years, than the gold-sollers do at tho dig-
throw the odd ounce Into the bargain.
say, was in by boyhood, when I was too
far off from what I was dealing so generously
with, to be able to understand anything about it.
I know better now. Three scorc’and ten might
have suited the Israelites very well when ihoy
were wandering in the wilderness; but lam de
cidedly of opinion that oses, when stating tho
limit, in his prayer, printed in the book of Psalms,
made no allusion to us. Iu fact, the period in
itself is objectionable, inosmuoh as it is not a
period at all, but more like a semicolon. It is
not even an even number—which is odd; resem
bling more a halfway house than a final resting
place. It makes me uncomfortable to hear peo
ple talking of three-score-and-ten, as if they
thonght it improper to fly in the faco of Moses.—

Communications to Newspapers. —The follow
ing extiact from an article in tho New York Com
mercial Advertiser, on the subject of the right of
individuals iu the community to use the editorial
columns of a paper for the promulgation of their
own views, is worth the perusal of all who affect
the quill.
We may just say here, that we recognize no ob
ligation to insert communications taking excep
tions to editorial views and opinions. Wo are al
ways willing to do it when the space at our dispo
sal admits of it, and other circumstances are fa
vorable. Bnt if ono reader may insist upon otir
publication of his reply to an editorial, bo may all,
and four of t hese long columns might be it ade
quate to contain communications called forth by
but a qnater of a colomn of editorial matter. We
always give such communications careful reading,
and are glad to receive them. They have a
wholesome effect, tendiog to make a public journ
alist write carefully and weigh well his positions
ere he publicly assumes them. This hint is for
the nse of some who write as though they thonght
that editors have no right to express opinions at
all; of others, who seem tothlnk tba> an edhor s
mmd ought to be an exact transcript of their
own; ana of yet others, who seem to look upon
onr columns as theirs, and this journal ratherss es
tablished to promulgate their views than the sen
timents of those who conduct it.”
Disoovery of a Raphael.—A person at Nismes
had for a long time, in his possession, a drawing
in red chalk, to which he attached so little value
that it was thrown aside among some ws“te paper.
An amateur having recently seen it, purchased it
from him for two francs. The purchaser, having
brought it to Paris, showed it to S'.nie artists, who
told him it was an admirable sketch, and he ac
cordingly presented it to the Director of the
Musees. Soon after hi* return to N -mes, lie re
ceived a letter of thanks roman inspector of the
Beau* Arts, in which it was stand lint, alter
minute investigation, the drawing was found to
be the portrait of La Fornarioa, by Raphael, and
was estimated aa being worth, at the lowest, 10,Oho
francs. _

fcscape of O’Donogbue, the Iri.n Patriot.
Mr. Wtn. O’Donogbue, ot eof the Irish patr'ol
and exiles in Australia, has escaped, and arrived i
Ban Francisco on the 22dof Jnue. He has put
listied an aocount of hia escape, from which w
abstract the following theta:
“From the moment of my last arrest and irnpri
a minor,t (it being the fifth) nndor the opprossiv
tyranny of Sir William Dennison, as described h
he preceding chapters, 1 had determined upot
enuMlng my escape from the grasp ot the tyrant
or of losing my life in the attempt: for life undei
bis tortures had become insopportable.
“Accordingly, on my return to Launoeaton fron
rort A:t iui\ on the 6th November, 1852,1 went al
ones to my trusty friend G. D. 1 disclosed to him
my intentions, and reviewed with him the several
breaches ot oompaot committed by the ooloninl
government in respect to my ticket of leave, and
the degrad xtion and penury to which I was reduc
ed by the organized system of cruelty enforoed
against me, even in violation of the penal statutes
in force in \an Dieman’s land. We concluded,
therefore, that I stood bofore God aud man absol
ved from the moral and honorable responsibility
originally implied and understood by the ‘parole’
entered in to by myself and the other State Prison
ers, and without further hesitation my esoapo was
fixed upon. r
“Matters being thus far determined upon, my
unvarying tnond, Mr. G. D. started in a steamer
tor Melbourne, to mako arrangement formy tran
sit from thence to some harbor free from the tnflu
eno® a blood-stained banner of England.
After a few days’ absenoe in Melbourne, G. D.
wrote to me, stating that everything was arranged
with the osptein of the Earl of Linooln, wbieb vos
»l was bound for Callao, in the State of Lima, a
SpanitHi settlement in South America; audrequoHt
iui? that I would start from Launooston forthwith,
uo as to arrive »n Melbourne by .the next steamer.”
“Mr, O N of Sydney, notwithstanding biadetee
tipil would have made him liable to fine and im
1 lion. for five years, and hard la
bor In a-stone quarry m the chain gangs of Port
Arthur, loaded day and night with thirty-six
pounds ofirons hung »u pended over him.
. « wawhastily agreed that I should meet O’N.
i hat evening at the house of Mr. G., and there
change my dress, and accompany him oh board at
eight o’clock that, bight. O N l , and I met at Mr.
0 a honso at 8 o’olook. I put on a sailor’s jacket,
and we walked at a quiok pace to the Y. Y. steam
er ; he loos mo on board and plaood me in his own
north. At 7 o clock ho removed me thence to the
furnace room, aud placed me in a stove, whioh he
lookod upon me. I hud been in this domioilo for
the space of an hour, when O’N.. unlocked the
door of it, and with consternation pictured in
Ins face, hestated that Mr. 8., the other ol the
ship, had consisted with him, and they arrived at
the lonclußiou I would be suffooatod if I remained
in the stove, ami, that as the police were about to
commenco their customary searoh, I must go
inshore. This was a m'>st appalling announcement.
There was no time, however, to be lost, us the
police wore prowling shout; I bid poor O’N. good
morning, and stepped on the wharf.
“ I now anxiously 'ooked forward to the return
of D. from Melbourne, and oa the 17th December
the Y. Y. again boro up the river; and on hasten
ing to the quay, 1 found my friend ooming ashore
in a boat. I also saw O’N. busy about the deck.
We then arfunged to see O’N. next day, and ac
cordingly met him, when afier u brief conversa
tion, it was resolved that I should again go ou
board the steamor at 8 o’clock on Sunday night,
as 9 o'clock on Monday evening, the 20th Decem
ber, was fixed upon for the vessel sailing for
Molbourue; and livo or die I should prooeod in
her. On Sunday, the 18th, ho accompanied me to
the steamer, when O’N. placed mo in bis berth,
where 1 lay until 4 o’olock, and was then removed
'o tlie engine room; and at half-pust seven o’olook
O’N. led mo through the furnace room to the re
ceptacle used for holding the oouls consumed by
the turnaces. It wus adjoining the furnaces, but
partitioned oft'with sheet-iron. In the centre of
this was .in aperture, or trap door, wh'ch opened
into a cavity underneath. The cavity, surrounded
everywhere with burning flames; wub selected as
tlie apartment that I was to occupy in making my
exit trom tiio perfidious Dennison. The chances
were gloomy in the extreme. The danger to me
of suiforatiou was too apparent to poor O’N., and
without further reflection I pushed forward into the
first chamber on hands aud leet. O’N. having
forced tlie trap door, he lannohed me into the
cavern beneath it. Ho then olosed the trap door,
and directly filled tlie entire space with coals. I
was thus ensconced in a compartment about seven
feet in length, throe in width, and two height;
aud, by its forma ion, I was obliged to lie in a re
cumbent position. It being lined on all sides
with shoot iron, when the furnaces came to blaze
in full strength, tho heat and want of air made the
ilen very insupportable. 1 dreaded instant death
by suifooaiion or apoplexy. The ordeal, too. was
terribly todioiis. Astor about an hour, O’N.,
dreading fatal oonsoquonces, oaused water to be
pumped into my dungeon by means of an opening
in the ship’s keel. I was then plaoel between the
tw > great elomonts, fire and water; saturated,
from head to foot, wi.h water, while fire raged all
around me.”
“ Tho polioo search occupied two hours, after
which O’N. opened the trap door, and helped me
into the coal recess, from whence he brought me
to the engine room. I was nearly exhausted, but
soon rallied.” ,
Ou reaching Georgetown he was compelled to
conceal himself again for three hours In the ooal
holo, whilst another searoh was made, from which '
he escaped almost exhausted. Be reached Mel- i
bourne quthe 22d of December, aud was met by
sonic W*s,who concealed him a Jew days, and
After many adventures and hair breadth escapes, .
in the telling of which Mr.O'Donoghueoonsumesa 1
vast deal of poetry, he suoceeds in hiring the oap- <
tain of the small cutter Oberou, then about to sail i
to the South Seas for torioise shells, to convey him ,
to Tahiti, that island being under the proteotorate
of the French. They sailed Tuesday, the Bth of 1
B’cbruury, and reached Tahiti the 8d of April. |
During tho last three days of the voyage they suf- .
t'ered much lor want ol water, until relieved on
the third day by the commander of the barque 1
Sarah Hooper, an American vessel, bound lrom
San Francisco to Sydney.
Upon landing, O'Donohue continues: “I went
nsl ore and wailed on Capt. Kelley, the American
Consulate, at his private residence. I stated to him
the particular ciroumstanoes in whioh 1 was placed
—satisfied him of my identity as one of the Irish
rebels of 1848—and requested that he would as
ford me the protection of the American flag. He
recoived mo with great urban ty and without hesi
tation placed ine under the protection ot his flag,
and of the American government , so fsr os bo was
empowered to do so by virtue of his office.
“It was now one hundred and five days stnoe I
escaped from Launceston, during whioh period I
had suffered groat privations, and the intense
heat of the cl mate of Tahiti, soon produoed a sen
sible change for the worse in my general health;
languor, extreme debility, aud loss of appetite
rortiered me quite prostrate. These consider a
t ous weighed heavily upon me. and I wistfully
gazed at every sail that ontered the harbor, in the
hope ol speedy release
“At length tho barque Otranto, an Amerioan
ship, Cupt. Kendrick, cast her anchor. She was
on a trading voyage from San Francisco to the So
ciety Islanus, and hod moat of her cargo already
on board. She was not five minutes in harbor
when Cuptuin Kelly sent a confidential gentlemen,
Mr. Adams, on board to socure a passage for me
to San Francisco, which he accordingly obtained
on Wednesday the 26’ h day of April, and alter
much kindness from Captain Kendrick, through a
tedious voyage he reached the free soil of the
wo torn republic, on Wednesday, tbe 22d June,
18. r >B, with a light heart, and in perfect health,
after having been altogether 18C days in effecting
his escape, computing from the day he left Van
Diemen’s Land until he arrived at San Francisco.
Fourtron miles to the East of Piucorville, stood
one of those immense trees known in Californian
tiieFreemont or Sugar Pino. In circumferenn
two foot from the ground, it measured twenty
nine feet, or nine feet four inches in diumeter. It
was chopped off oiily two feet from the ground. M
there was no apparent dimunition in bUo for fifty
leet upward. As many men as could work arouid
it chopped it off in two days. It made in all two
hundred and sixty-five thousand shingles, at sl2

Wo have no less a sum than SBIBO for shingles

Petrified Mam. —The “Morris (111.) Yeoman”
states that not long since, while some men were
digging in a cost bank near the oanal, they ex
humed the body of a man in a perfect state of pe
trifaction. From the codnroy cloth in which the
legs were encased, tho cords and seame of which
ure perfectly defined, it is supposed to be the body
of one of tho Irish laborers engaged in the con
struction of tho canal. The limbs are nearly per
fect, and are completely transformed into stone.
A Cheepful Heart. — l onoe heard a young
lady say to an individual. “ Yonr countenance to
mo is like the rising snn, for it always gladdens me
with a cheerful look.” A merry or cheerful coun
tenance is one of the things which Jeremy Taylor
said his onemiea and persecutors could not take
away from him. There are some persona who
spend their lives in this world as they would
spend their livest hut up inadungeon. Everything is
mads gloomy and forbiding.They go moruning and
complaining Irom day to day, that they have so lit
lie, and are constantly anxious, lest what they have
should escape out of the r hands. They always
look unon the dark side, and never enjoy the good
that is' not religion, Religion makes the heart
cheerfol,and when its large and benevolent princi
pies arc exereiaed, man will be happy in spite of
himself.
The industrious bee does not stop to oomplain

We often travel on a hard and uneven road, but

The “Victoria Regia.”— This queen of the
aquatic flowers, which was first discovered by the
botanist Hamke, who was sent by the Spanish Gov
ernment in the year 1801 to investigate the vege
table productions of Pero, has been cultivated by
Mr. J. F. Allen, of Salem, who has used wonder
ful care and pains to bring it forward to produc
tion. In his garden a flower opened on Thursday
last. This is the first plant that has bloomed in
this country north of Philadelphia. The bud came
to the surface of the water on the 13th of July, six
months from the first starting of the seed. As the
seed vegetated at mid-winter, and no fire heat or
artificial warming of the water wss used after the
first of June, this result may be considered aa «st
isfaetory. Friday the flower was m its fullest
glory. Another bud has risen to the surface of the

H S f® Ve ?‘ n P:, retarnod ty steamboat or railway via
nungertord Suspension Bridgo, came uuoxpeoted
e ly nponan extraordinary and interesting exhi
bition. Two miniature suns—for so without hy
perbole we might characterize the elootrio lamps —
a one in each tower, converged their intense iays
i ou tbe oentro of the bridge, and effeotually illumi
i nated the whole of the intervening space, feebly
i lighted in general by about 100 gas lamps. The
lights re named in oontinons operation from nine
o’olook P. M., till past midnight. Are tho days of
steam and gas numbered? Electrioity is now
evidently destined to take the piece of both. Os
the applicability of the eleotrio fbroe as a motivo »
power, ea a substitute for steam- in every brauoh
of industry and enterprise, and as asouroeof il
lumination for streets, public buildings, ligbt
nouses, mines, railway-tunnels, bridges,[diving
bells, die., some praotical men of science have
never doubted ; but until recent discoveries had
exhibited Diseconomy of “this wonderful power,”
by making its ptoduotion economically profitable,
tbe man of business had not contemplated its ap
plication to the daily purposes of life.
The inventions of Dr. Watson, the basis of the
intended operations of the Electrio Power and
Color Company, it is said, have now removed the
onto obstacle to the universal use of oleotrioity,
and to its immediate application to loeomotion,
mechanical arrangements of all kinds, navigation,
obemloal decomposition and illumination. For
wtole, in ordinary galvanio instruments, the out
lay in tbe destruction of metais is altogether un
productive—absolutely wasteful—every shilling’s
worth of material used in Dr. Watson’s batteries
returns half a drawn In the shape of valuable pig
ments, (which oan be Bold pure and unadulterated
at a lower prioe than the adulterated articles in the
market,) bleaching powder, aud other commercial
products readily saloable. We are, indeed, in
formed that oontraots can at onoe be entered into
for the profitable disposal of all that the company
can produce in the shape of ohromea and Prussian
bine, aud that these oontraota represent an aotttal
demand to the oxtent of £40,000 per anuum for
the Russian market alone.
As regards the mechanical perfection with whioh
the illuminating process is applied it is sufficient
to advert to the foot that tlie Great Northern Rail
way Terminus atKing’s Cross, extending 500 yards
in length and usually lighted up by 250 gas bur
ners, was completely and continuously illuminated
by two eleotrio lamps placed at one extremity, for
several hours, during whioh the gas lumps wore
extinguished. By this light alone the trains en
tered and departed daring tho evening, and so
intense was the brilliancy that the amaHest print
•night be read with focility atthe remote extremity
opposite to the aouroe of light. Iu the some man
ner as we have already mentioned, two lamps, one
in eaoh tower of Hungortord Suspension bridge
lighted that thoroughfare for several entiro even
ings from ninep. m. till post midnight, completely
“paling the iueffootua fires” of nearly ltiu gas
lamps Several perfectly efficient motivo power en
gines have been oonatruotod, and are now in ex
istence, adapted to be worked by electricity, but
the oost of that power has hitherto precluded their
employment for any praotical purpose.
The eoouomical sofution of tho queatiou being
attained, who can say that tbe wonderful inven
tions or Watt will not he, to a vast extent, anporae
ded by those of Watson? The various other uses
to whioh this new power oau be made subservient
ornbracethe desulphurization of coke (of which
£6,090,000. worth is consumed yearly by railway
companies aloue,) telegraphing, eleotrotypiug,

such extraordinary advantages and elements of
suocoss, considering that, as regards only oue ap
plication ofthe eleotrio power, that of illumina- *
tion, no less than£ll,ooo,ooo. sterling are now in
