The (suspension Bridge at Niagara.
On Wednesday afternoon, the 14th instant, the
new suspension Bridge at Niagara Falls was cross
ed by a Icoomotive and train of cars. The direc
tors cf the Bridgo Company, several directors and
olhoere of tho New York Central and tho Great
Western Kailroads, and many others were presont
and participated in the brief excursion ride. The
locomotive Milo, weighing thirty two ions, and
three open freight core, crowded with men, made
two trips each way. Tho Niagara Falls Interna
tional Bridge Company exists by virtue of
ters given it by the Canadian Parliament and tho
New York Lcg elature. The first wire suspension
bridge was finished in 1848 and was bailt by Mr.
Chue. Eilot. It .was a light and airy. structure, a
mere spider-web. compared with the present sub
stantial railroad bridgo. The first one cost less
than $50,000. For several years it answered every
purpose and formed the common highway between
New York and the Provinces. Tho tolls of the
bridge oomstantly increased, and last year amount
ed to ovor $40,000. Tho stock was tho best in tho
country and could not bo had at any price. The
completion and opening of tho Great Woeteru
liailroad to tho Falls rendered necesaary a new
suspension bridge for railroad parpofcoa. Now
stock was iflsued, and the bridge, under tho control
of John A. Roobllng, as enginoer and architect, is
now nearly finished, at a cost of about $600,000.
It is entirely impossible by words, without dia
grams, to convey a very correct idea of tho sub
pension bridge; but we will give a few of tho fi
gures relating to it, and attempt a brief goneral
description:

Total length of wire in mi.es 4,001)
It will be remembered that tha old suspension
bridge wu* hung; by cable* paaaing ever wooden
towers, and the whole affair was a light and ap
parently frail structure. This, however, has stood
all tho blasts thatrago through th* river gorge for
eight or Dine years, light as it was. The present
bridgo is, howiver. much heavier, and has every
appearance of stability. It does not vibTate to tho
foot fall; gives no oscillation under a heavily
loaded wagon, and beneath a railroad train the jar
is no more perceptible than upon auy cf the strong
est truva bridges. We stood upon the bridge once
whou tho train passed and we rode over once, and
each time were astonished at the firmness and
immobility cf the structure.
Iu building the Dew,bridge tho old one was used
as a platform. The wooden towera havo given
place to fcolid stone towera, and the airy old
bridge to a firm smooth earriago way. Tho im
mense oables, 10>tf inchea in diameter, formed of
wires, bound together by a wrapping, also of wire,
are deeply imbedded in the rock on cuoh Bhoro,
and necurcly fastened into great anchor plates.
They pass then to the tops of towers and lail
away in inexpressibly beautiful cuivcb, and rising
again to the tower on the other shore, pass to
their aesure auehorago in tho solid rock. These
cables are painted white, and resemble in appear
ance a white birch Jog as it lios in the woods.
From tbs cables at distances of eight or ten feet
other sms ler iron ropes drop, on which tho wood
en and iron truss werk of tho bridge is suspen
ded. Cables cross and rccrce* in every direction
essential to give strength and to obviate lateral
or vertical oseillatien, and to equibte as far ns
may bo the prensure over the whole bridge.—
The railway is laid on tho top of the bridge, and
is mado of heavy iron castings, fastened to limbers
of grout length and eifij. I'hia track is about
twenty eight feet above ihe carriage floor. The
carrigo floor ia therefore an enclosure. It is the
bottom of a tubular structure, on the top ot which
is the railway.
This upper track is securely railed in, and,
though on a larger and more magnificent sea!*, ro
sembles tho old bridge, familiar to most of our
readers. The oerriage floor is ninetton feot wide.
Tho inside width of ihe upper floor is about twon
ty-t wo foot. In the centre of this is the iron track
way. Tho track-way is arranged for three gaugos,
while in fact it occupies only the space of one. It
is in this wise: An ordinary track is laid, the rails
six feet apart. This is the Erie gusgo. Between
theso rails are two othom four feet eight-and-a-half
inches apart. This ib the New York central
guago; and from the south inside rail to tho north
outside rail is five foot six inches, or the Canada
gangs. The arrangement is simple but ingenious.
The'switches arc dieUnt from tho bridgo on land,
and that unlees the trains that are to pass over
tho bridge are switched upon their proper gauges,
of course they oomo to a stand-still remote from
tho bridge. Thus there is no possible danger from
this sou roe. It is proper to say that there are
throe tracks upon tho bridge. At the same time
only one train can occupy them at once, as they
are all in compass of a single six-foot track. It is
this trackway, and this alono, that is leased to the
Canada road tor $45,000 a year, which they under
lot to tho New York Central and such other roads
as may desire to use it. All the rest of tho bridge,
the carriage way and the foot-ways that are beside
the track-way, aro reserved by the Bridge Com
pany. These last will give an income of many
thousand dollars above tho $45,000 loase.
Tho loads that havo passed over tho bridge thus
far have been comparatively light, but for a long
tirno past a weight of seme 25 u or 800 tons of stone
hae been lying upon the bridge as a sort ot make
weight. There will be a forma! celebration of the
opening of tho bridge about tho first of May, to
which “all the world” will gather. —Rochester

thousand dollars a day have been coined at th©
mint. There ia coin enough! We only want a
key to unlock it. And we have not got it. It
takes* a!i our productive power to pay our enor
mous rat©3 of interest and rente. It ties up every
thing. It ia hard, exhaustive work to meet inter
est and expense**. We must come to moro mod
erate views of invehtments, and especially of
interest. Here is the banker that makes us poor
in the midst of abundance.
Interest must first come down, or rents cannot
come down without bankruptcy and f jrther ruin.
Let every rn*n now stand flrmiy to this point, and
end the two and throe per cents a month on real
estate seenritiet*. The real pressure is not from
the bank failuroa; that is a drop in the bucket.
Oar difficulties are a glutted market, enormous
rents, and worst of all, high rates of interact.
Wo havo boen told by persons who are supposed
to be w<*ll informed, thut *ighi millions of dollars
are loaned on real estate, awoarino* and buildings
in this city. We are unable at tho present writing
to verify the slate ment, but suppose the amount is
less by two millions and that average rate per cent,
is not less than two and three fourths per cent,
per month. Wo have thon, six million weighing
down the productive industry and trade of this
city. Tho monthly Interest of this sum, ou the
abovo nvorage, is $162,000. This is to be com
pounded to the debtor* at any rate. Whether tho
creditor compounds it or not, is his own lookout;
but tho debtor has to pay it monthly, and it is the
same as compounded to him, for he losoa the use
of his money. Tho interest compounded for a
year would be $2,810,000, a sum equal to the whole
amount of manure jturos in South Carolina-equal
to one half tho product of cotton in that State for

Meetixo of Ronmaaif A Co»’s Creditors.— A
strong body of tho depositors in Robinson’s
“Savings Bank,” met in San Franousco Hall, Fob.
28, in aooordanoo with an invitation from tho
proprietor of tho Bank. Mr. Robineon was presont
and entertained them with a spoech, in the oourae
of wi ich he gave them to understand that ho had
“cove iu” beyond redemption. He believed that
had it not been for tbe interference of the Sheriff,
he would have been able to pay three hits on the
dollar. The “special deposits” are secure in the
Sheriff’s hands. Mr. Bobiuson dofinod his po
sition—he was the poorest person in tho crowd,
and had not moans to purchase a ticket for tho
steamer.
The meeting wee composed of the poorer classes,
laboring men and women. As might be very
naturally presumed, they were not in a very amia
ble mood, und they expressed their minds protty
freely, particularly a Tenerabie looking lady, who
threatened to scratch Bob;noon’s eyea out if she
could get at him. The re*alt wee, that a eornmit
tee, headed by Mr. Hart (of Storemen * Hart,)
was appointed! to trike charge #f the books and
examine into them, nnd repert at some day next
weok. The mooting wound up with a speech
Jrom Mr. Liackua, Inviting vho crraembly to attend
a oonoert by the Baokus & tjfcrftty minstrels, at the
seme pla< e, at 7}{ o’clock, Mr. IfcjWaßon has taken
preliminary step, to otrtain £ clearance by in
solvency.
The whole circumstanasn connected with this
financial storm have created groat excitement in
the community, and it is beltcrved that very heavy
losses will ultimately bo sOßkred by individuals
in different quarters, ibe end does not clearly
appear. Confidence has been shaken in the minds
of many persons in regard to all the banks of the
oouutry, and it will bo long before the old deposi
tors will implicitly trust the banks as before. Tho
screw has still to bo pnt by the banks themselves,
upon the persons who owe them money, by bill
or otherwise. Failing of judicious renewals of
old bills, it may be anticipated that much difficulty
will be found by portions of the mercantile and
trading circles, in carrying on their business.
However after a period of brief distress, :he bad
effects of the money crash will gradually disap
pear, and business, employment and profits will
proceed as before. The real wealth of the ooun
try, and its ultimate prosperity, cannot bo much
hurt by the losser, sustained by individuals of
fac'.itkus capital.
N ew, extensive and rich diggings have been
discovered in El Dorado and Calaveras counties,
and in other mining districts. Bain brs fallen
abundantly towards tho close of the present month,
it may therefore be anticipated that the united
gold produce of the country will soon be sensibly
increased. In the present disordered state of
many of the leading banking houses which were
the principal gold buyers in the interior it is pro
bable that mneh of tho current gold produce will
be retained here lor come months to come. This
will show diminished exports, but t ere wiil be

AssioNMENT ox Adams & Co.—L C. W oods, on
behalf of the firm of Adrms & Co., appeared be
fore the 4th District Court yesterday, and made
an assignment of the assets of the concern, for the
benefit of its creditors, under the California in
solvency act, and asked to be discharged from
further liability. Ho also presented a sworn state
ment of the labilities and assets of the firm, which
is embraced in a document too long to be com
pressed into a newspaper article.
The schedule first states the liabilities of the
firm, and gives the name of every person with
whom an account was kept, and the amount doe
each. It appears that there were over four hun
dred depositors, who still bsve balances due them,
ranging from eighteen oents up to twelve thousand
dollars. Thero are certificates of deposits out
standing to tho amount of $705,000. The firm
owes Adams & Co., in New York, $102,000 for
exchange drawn on them. We have not had ac
cess to the Court records long enough to add np
the long list of daea to depositors, But judge the
total amount to be bnt little short of sl,otio,ooo, so
that tho entire liabilities of the firm must be abont
One Million Eisbt Hr nosed Thohsamd Dollars.
To pay this debt, there are assets valued by their
own eetimatesst over $1,800,000, bet as moßt of
the property is in resl estate and bills receivable,
it is not probable that fifty per cent, of the estimate
will ever be readied.
Adams A Co., have gone into Bankruptcy. “I.
C. Woods,” acting partner in the house, treats tire
“public" to a “osrd” every day, which only
adds fuel to the flames. Their Certificates of De
posits are selling in the street at 25 to £5 cents on
the dollar,—of which there are about one midion
eight hundred thousand outstanding.
The community are in no way eatiefied with the
recent development of this house.
P«ge, Baoou A Co., as your readers have been
advised, asked for en extension of two, four, six,
and eight months, to enable them to go on and re
sume busineee.
Page, Bacon A Co. have had their extesion ca

will be remembered that they only asked for an
extension of four hundred thousand. Their books
art still open, and they are endeavoring quietly to

out of the arrest of the persons engaged in tho

tho indictment for mu-cter, found aganst them by
the Grand Jury. It was supposed, that the party
who had come up from Rea Bluffs had returned
home, contented to allow the law to take it* course.
It appears, however, that they exp*essod a de
termination to return again some night and rescue
tho prisoners, in consequence of which Sheriff
Nunnaliy enrolled ail the citizens of Shasta City,
under a requisition to preserve the peace of the
Stato. Nearly every man in tho place was thus
brought into duty, and since that, th 1 prison has
been guarded night and day. Tho forco kept on

is considerable excitement at Red Bluffs, and wo

Denominations In the United States.
Tho number of religious eocts in tho United
States is twenty, without counting the Buddhists
in California, or sundry minor Christain denomi
xations. Tho whole number of edifices is 36,000,
capable of accommodating fourteen millions of
pe >nle. Tbe total vuluo of the church property
held by these twenty denominations is nearly
$• >,000,000, in exact numbers $36,416 639. Ihe
average value of each church and its appurtenanoos
io $‘34,000. These facts, which aro derived from
oft ciul tables for the eoutus, explode another false
not on, which is that thero is too much luxury and
wealth iu the American churches.
The most nuraorous sect in the United States is
tbo Methodists, the second tlio Baptists, and the
third tho Presbyterians. The fir6t has church
accommodations for 0ver4,000,000 of woishippers;
in other words, the Methodists have houses of
•. ex-ship for one sixth of the entire population.—
Tho Baptists havo accommodations for more than
2,000,000, and tha Presbyterians for more then two
millions. Tho fourth sect in the extent of it*
accommodati us, is tho Congregational, the fifth |
tho Epipcopriian, and tho sixth the Roman Catholic.
The number of churches belonging to the tbrea
leading denominations dees not always follow thia
proportion however. Tho Methodist s, for exam pie,
whifo they can accommodate but twice as many
worshippers as the Presbyterians havo throe times
cs many churches. The Roman Catholics, though
sixth on the list as regards accommodations, stands
seventh in the number of their churches. Os tho
principal sects, that which has the smallest edifl' oe
tor worship is the Molhodist, and those which
have tho largest aro the Unitarians and Dutch
reformed. The smallest denomination is the
Swodcnborgian, and the next tho Mennonite.—
Thero are no less than 52 Tanker churches, and
35,000 worshippers. The Friends, so numerous in
this city, have accommodations for about 800,000,
or but little more than one hundredth of the entire
population of the United States.
The richest denomination is the Methodist,
which is set down in tno census tables at $14,685,-
686. The next is the Presbyterian, which is rated
at $14,869,889. The Episcopal, which in number
of churches stands fifth, ranks third tor its church
property, being e-t ; mutcd at $11,261,970. The
fourth i 3 the Baptist, $10,931,882. Tho fifth the
Roman Catcolic, $8,973,838 ; and the sixth the
Congregational, $7,973,962. Ot those various sects,
the two which sympathise the most in doctrines
are tho Ccngregationalista and Presbyterians—
both adhering to the Westnrui6 : or Catechism, and
diff -ri ,g only in their form of government, the one
being republican, tbe other democratic. Together
these two sects have over six thousand churches,
can seat nearly three millions of worshippers, and
hold church property to the value of more than
$22,000,000.
The sect whose average value of property ranks
highest, is the Unitarian. Next comes the Dutch
Reformed, and next tho Jewish. The Sweden
borgians, Roman Catholics, and Episcopalians
follow iu the order named. Os the leading de
nominations, the Methodists stand the highest on
the list, and the Baptists nex', while tho Presby
terians and Congregationaiifcts hold a middle place.
The Influence and Dignity of the Press.—The
London Times, which undoubtedly staLdß at the
t ead of the press ot the civilized world, thus speaks
of the vocation of an editor:
We contest we are sensitive for the dignity of
our order, and proad of our vocation. We should
no more aream of confounding the limits of public
duty and private courtesy in our own case or in
our present pursuits, than we should if employed
in a State office, or charged with the responsibilities
of judicial decision. What can it signify to any
man who devotes his time and ability to journal
ism as it is called, whether the door of this or that
grandee be opened to him or shut against him !
The mistake lies iu exaggerated notion of individ
ual dignity. We know no reason why the Marquis
Carabus should give himself any trouble to se
cure the priva'.e friendship of a politioe! writer
more than he would in the case of an author who
had written a successful comedy, or of an advocate
who had made a good appearance at the bar. The
beat advice we can give to the more iiritable among
our brethem is to have a loftier notion cf them
se'ves and their vocation. Let them feel assured
that in this country—the home of untiring srd well
directed energy—there is no more honorable cal
ling followed, no honester bread eaten, than that
of tha man who, without one thought of pleasure
or displeasure of living man, undeterred by appre
hension, and u tailored by gread or ambitios, in
all truth and conscience devote* his mind to the
daily diaeciasion of public affairs in the columns of
the leading jouma's in these islands. Wa may
venture to say that we know as well as moat men
the advantages and drawbacks of such a career.

44 in Es'.ho~ia, a province ot the Ruaeiau empire,
where tao girls consider marriage the one grut
object to bo coveted, attained und prepared for
from the earliest dawn ot their susceptibiTries,
they spin and weave al their outfit, frequently for
ten year* before the r helpmate is forthcoming:
this outfit extends to a whole wardrobe fall of ker
chiefs, gloves, otockiugs, etc. When they have
formed an acquaintance to their liking, tho occa
sion having been u c aally of their own creating,
they look forward with impatience to the memont
of the proposal being made. Bnt there is oils
saasen only, the period of the now moon, whenau
offer can bo fcende ed; Dor is auy time so much
preferred for a marrisgo as tho period ot a full
moon. The plooipos iu the business of an offer
are generally a couple oi the suitor’s friends, c r
else his parents, who enter the maid’s homostesd
with mead and brandy in their hands. On their
approach the gontlo maiden conceals herself, warn
ing having been given her in due form by sorno
ancient dame; the plenipos never make a direct
announcement cf tho purpose of their mission, but
in moot cases toil the girl’s parents eorne titorv
about a lamb or an ewe which has got astray, aud
they desire to bring homo agaio. Tho parents
immediately invite them to drink, vowing that
they know nothing of tho stray creature; ii thoy
decline to drink with them, it is a sign, either that
they have no inclination lor the match, or that
their daughter has whispered that hor heart has no
room for tho youth in question. But if all aro of
one mind, tho parents sot morily to work on the
mead and brandy, and give tho suitor’s envoys
free license to hunt out '.he stray lambkin. ben
caught, sho is also expected to taste of tho cup,
and from that moment tho bridegroom becomes ut
liberty to visit his bride. Ho makes his apprar
ance, iherciore, a few days afterwards, bringing
presents of all kinds with him, tegethor with u
ring which he piacos on the maiden’s finger as his
betrothed.
“ Tho Copts have a custom of b rirotbing giila ut
six or seven years of sga yvhich io h ; put

afterwards obtained Tor her frionds to e iucato her
until she arrives at tho age of disorotion.
“In Persia, a ring ia ameng tho usual marriage
presents ou tho part of tho bridegroom.
“Ilia said, that in Spain, every girl who has
attained the age of twelve May compel a young
man to marry her, provided he has reached his
fourteenth year, and she can prove, for instance,
that ho has promised her his hand, and given her
to understand that ho wished her to become his
wife. These proofs are adduce l before an eccle
siastical vicar. A present of a ring iu considered
Eufficient proof to enable tho girl to claim her
husband. If tho vicar pronounces the marriage
ought to take place, the youth, who has been pro
viously sent to prison, cannot bo liberated until
after the celebration.
*Dr. Ciark, iu his Travels in Russia, describes
the marriage at Actfmetchot, of Proiesaor Pr.llas’s
daughter with a Hungarian general, according to
the rites of the Greok Church. After ascertaining
as to ties of blood between them, and voluntary
consent, a Bible and crucifix wero placati before
thorn, and largo lighted wax tapers, decorated with
ribbons, put into their hands.
“After certain prayers bad been read, and the
ring put upon the bride’s finger the floor was
covered by a piece of scarlet satin, and a tab’e was
placed before thorn with the communion vessels.
Tho Priest having tie I their hands together with
bonds cf tho bamo colored satin, and placed a
chaplet of flowers upon their head-*, administered
the sacrament, unci afterwards led thorn, thus
bound together, three times round the communion

The article which follows, publit-hod in tho

progref-e ol population in this country for tho past
forty years, the increase in th’3 amount and v*!n©
of tno tonnage employed in the oarry irg traJo has
vastly outstripped it. Whila population has abtat
doubted itself in thirty four years, our ton..age has
quadrupled in that time. In the year 18fl) the
total tonnage registered and enrolled was 1,250,168
tons, and in 1844 it was 4,802,902 toes. Tr.o geu
oml pacification ol Europe in 1815 found us with a
tonnage of 1,868,127, ol which 851,294 ton i were
registered, the remainder being enrolled and
licensed, representing w ; th tolerable accuracy tha
proportions of the tonnago engaged in the forein
and coasting trade. From 181$ till 1823 it appear*
that tho tonnago declined in amount, and A wan
aot until tho year 1828 that it again equalled wkat
ft had been in 1816. Tho owe of this dac'.iae ft
is not our purpo*e now to explore. It wts doutft
leas caused mainly by tho f.biiity of the nations cf
Br.ropo to do for tbemselvce that which, as a n*n
trai Power, wo had boeD doing lor thorn on ffie

From 1824 rill 1828 tho amount of tonnago gradu
ally increased, until in that year it reached 1,741,-
891 tonr. Tho next year it decreased nearly half
a million tons, and did not attain tfco point it had
been at in 1828 until tho year 1884, sine? which
time it haa been steadiL increasing. From 1684
to 1844 the increase of tonnage was about sixty
per cent, and from 1844 to 1854 it has moro than
doubled. Tho following tabular statement will

The investment in vessels is a very largo one,
and tho amount will perhaps astonish sorro Cf onr
readers. If we estimate tho first cost of th«'. j o \ ea
sels, steam and sailing, at fifty dolla’s per ton, (a
very low estimate,) it will amount to $240,645,000,
the annual interest on which, at the legal ra;c, is
fourteen millions four hundred thousand debars !
Bat the annual earning of the vessels must not
only include the interest on their cost, but also re
pairs and renewals. If wa place these as equal to
a total destruction in twelve years, we shall havo
$20,508,750, which, added to tho annual interest,
makes $84,903,750 os the total annual earniegs of

The Brain and Intellect. —At the thirty-first
annual meeting of the Society of Nataral Philoso
phers in Germany, at Gottingan, last year, Dr.
Prof. Huschke, trom Jena, oommunicated some
remerke upon the mutual connexion betwe n the
cranium, brain and soul of men and animals. It
is a generally received opinion among the physi
ologist*, that the convolutions of the brain exar
cise an important influence upon the mind. It
so lowa from Huschke’s researches, that, t ee zsrst,
the mind exercises an important influence upon
these ood volutions. He has noticed that the brain
convolutions ia herbivorous animals, as sheep,
oxen, horses, itc., differ from those in wild ani
mals, as lions, panthers, bears, seals, etc., while
the hog and the elephant occupy a place between
tho e two species. The more those convolutions
are twisted, —the deeper the furrows are drawn
between them, the more identaiioca and branehee
they have, ana the mors irregular and unsymmet
rical they appear,—the more perfect ia the species

Oar ilevsna correspondence being at the Post

was executed in that city at seven o’clock on tho

the fooling on the subject reached that tha Captain

moved within threo, the indignation evinced by
tho populace, rendering the measure peremptorily
necessary.
Thia stato of affairs was mainly brought abont,
we learn, in consequence of wbat appears to have
been the vindictive oondnot of the Captain Genera!.
Some informality, it seems, having taken place on
the trail, the Minister of War reinsed to counter
-ign the death warrent, on tho ground that the
evidence convicting Pinto had hot emanated from
‘o'} 0 whose charater stood as clear as tha sun at

oreutieeehips at tho chaiu gang.” The captain
General thereupon convened a council ol four, and,

Tomb ox the Millicnajbb MoDoNoea.—Tho N.

tery in whioh lio the remains of the late wealthy
and occentr.c John McDonogh. In this cemete
ry, which was his property, ho had permitted tha
frea interment of all brought for the purpose, a
a fact whioh tho Picayune regards as telling in
favor of his innate beuevolenoo. There can be
little doubt that he was generous in that which
cost him nothing, and that ho was more ready
to provide for ths doud than the living. His tomb
is ssid to be a very substantial one of marble,
resting on a slate flag base, >nd surrounded by
a vory strong iron railing. On the end facing the
approach, is the following inscription :
“Sacred to the memory of John MoDonogh, born
in Baltimore, State ol Uaryl&ad, December the
£2ih, 1779; died in tho town of MoDouogb, State
of Louisiana, October the 26th, I 860."
Beneath this, follows the subjoined inscription :
“Written by himself:—Hero lies tho body of
John MoDonogh, of tho city of New Orleans, in
the Stato of Louisiana, ono of tho United States of

Idisiw and Flier,La Mindbd CniUJBEN.— Wo re
ferred a few days since to the results that had been
achieved in the Masßachneotts Institution for tbe
training of idiotio and feeble minded children,
aud havo sinoe boen muoh interested in reading
the second annual report of a similar institution
located at Germantown, Pennsylvania. The
“Training School,” as it is appropriately styled,
is sustained by pay from private pnpils, by an
allowanoe from Ine State, whioh during the last
year has sepported eight pupils, and by donations
l rom individuals who havo seen in its agency a
most acceptable moans of dispensing their charity
where its efftots will ba beaefioially aDd perma
nently felt. Sixteen pupils were admitted during
the past, tw# of whom wore from Maryland. The
number of pnp'ls remaining in tho institution od
the lat of J anu iry, 1854, was 9. Admitted during
the year, 16; discharged and returmed home, 6;
remaining in the School, *B.
Os those discharged, tfsres were so old, that little
hope was entertained of their further improvo
merit; one was removed on account of theirabiU’y
cf the parent to meet the expanse, while one want
home so muoh improved that for somo months
prior to his leaving the Institution, he kept up a
frequent correspondence with hie friasde; he is
now employed in learning a trade.
Os the sixteen admitted during Me ye»r, one so
distrusted tor own rowers, that she would not
step over a door sill, or over the smallest thing
whioh lay in her path, though she had the con -
trol of all her voluntary muscles; Are wero nole
to walk but a few steps nt a time; nms prefer, oil
!* use their hands iu oeting, having never born
aoensiomed to use a fork or spoon; #tm could
dross or undress thsmaelvee but in part, while
four ia that respeot were as helpless as infants; tm
had little or no idaa of cleanlino. o; four eonld use
but two or three words, and six had never spoken.
Ail masticated their food very imperfeotly ; ore
had never boon led with anything but pap, lest
sho might be obeked—shs woeld sooner ularvo
than help herself to food when pkioed before her,
or oven pnt into her hand.
Tho rosults obtained with these pupils admit
tod daring tho past year are slated to havo bean
abundantly satisfactory. Os the two who when
received walked but vory littlo, one walks two
or three miles and the other half a mile without
fatigue. Those who were aoonstomed to eat with
their bands, now prefer to use a lork or spoon,
and it may be doubted whether many families oi
children, in whatever walk of life, demean them
selves with greater propriety tnan ours, when at
the table. The four who used but few words in
talking, are now able to ask and answer questions
with a good degree of facility, Ot those who
were dumb at the time of their entranoe, the
three who have boen in the institution more than
six months are using some words quite freely;
while tho remaining three aro taking initiatory
steps, by learning to place their lips and tongue
in different positions as directed, and to oxplodo
the vowels.
The Principal of the School, Mr. Jamee S. Eich
ards, describes at length the modes in which the
lessonß aro taught, and the moral influouoes
brought to bear upon tho idiotic and feeble minds
to which they are addressed. This experienoe has
taught him that none are too low for improvement
and in reading tha valuable facts that he presents
none can fail to see in the Institution the meauß
of curing in hundreds of oases that imbecility
which, if left to itself, will in matnre life become
total and irremediabla idiotoy.— Balt. Amur.
Violin vxitecs Piano.— Tho explosion of Ole

among the citizens of the metropolis. An intense
cariosity has existed among tho public to know
what became of the money! This cnriosity, it an
pears, is partially gratified. Mr. Ole Bull, the
manager, in a deposition made on Saturday, in a
case in tho Superior Court, swore that “Mr. Men

The Collies ffonety.
There u-ed to be, says the Baltimore P.triet, a
i groat iioiso made abont a duly of a few oenta oa
' oat nails, or cotton cloth, and the public ear wee
, stunned with complaints abou the injuatlce of
giving a protection to one iniereat at the expense
of others. Now that the Free trade party ia in
power, the megre protection given to the poor me
obanic is reduced to a starvation standard, whilst
the rewards given to the miliionary spooniators ara
of tho moat libera! description. We havo long
since entered onr protest against the flagrant par
tiality of the Colline Bounty. In tho first place,
it certainly bestows protection upon one interest
at the expense of all others that oontribnte to it.—
In the seoond, it protoots a particular individual
to tho ncg’eotof others engaged in the same antot
p.iso. Third, and not least important, it extends
to ono looal interest tho patronage of the Govern
ment, almost of itsolf decisive of tho contest of
maritime supremacy. Why is it that Baltimore,
Savannah and Now Orleans have to struggle in
this unequal contest, without the succor or oonn
teuance of tho Fedoral Government! Why is it
that almost the entire mail pay for ooean asrvioe
goes to sustain the ship owners of Ne* York I*
When tho United States Bank wielded the orodit
ot the Federal Government, thero waa great oom
plaint of tho partiality which aided the morchanta
of Philadelphia, and left those of other eitiee to
struggle with their financial difficulties. Now thia
immense bonus to a particular interest is paid al
most without remonstrance. We hear the flitnay
argument, it ie true, ;hat,thy hoso* yf the country
Jopende upon' onr sustaining tao Colline line
against tbe Cunard. But is not the honor of tho
country more involved in tho dependence upon
Englaud for millione of iron than for steam ser
vice i The whole pretonco is too contemptible to
boar the least ray of roason. Nor, unfortunately, ha
tho payment of this enormona and partial bounty
been without strong suspioion and open impn
tationof fraud. Mcmbors of Congress have chang
ed thoir opinions in regard to tho Collins bonnty
in the most inexplicable manner, and have voted
at the last sossion for a measure which they had
thoretofore openly condemned.
Wo have boen led to these remarks by a card
from Mr. Vanderbilt, in whioh he states the offer
to perform tho same eervioo rendered by Collins,
at a far less price, as he has, we believe, offared to
oarry tho Califoraa mail far within the allowanoe
to lho presont contractors. Mr. Vanderbilt oontande
that the Collins line is a paying enterprise, and
neither deserves nor needs Governmental aid.—
Hero is his explanation of tho device by whioh the
stockholders in the Collins lino humbug Congroaa (
and the nation:
Commonoing with a capital of about $1,000,000,
they hove been enabled by means of loans from tho
Government, (to aid them in the oonstruotion of
their ships,) and the still larger contributions from
tho public Treasury for oarryiug tho mails, to
ooustruct four stesmßhips, representing an ex
penditure stated by thorn at upwards of $8,000,000.
By tho devioo ot paying interost Upon amok in
lieu of dividends, and by the conversion ot accu
mulated income into tbe eapital, they have been
a' Io to represent to a sympathising and patriotio
people, that their business has been dieaetrous,
and that they havo received no dividends.—
Contracting, in 1847, to build five steamehipe, and
to make twenty round voyages per annum, for
which thov were to receivo $19,250 per voyage,
they have succeeded in satisfying their oontraot by
tho construction of but four; and sinco 1852 have
been rooeivingfrom the National Treasury thesum
of SCB,OOO per voyage in viow of tho sum for which
I he sorvico wbb originally contracted to he rendered,
and this for twenty six voyages in lieu of twenty.
They have suceeedod in awi koning a species of
national fervor in favor of their enterprise till somo
seem to have considered that the measure of
American patriotism is tho extont of the public
contribution into thoir treasury. Buoh sturdy and
successful beggars hove thoy become, that some
men, iu assarriug their claims, would lead as to
believe that lesistanoa to thoir demand upon tho
the National Treasury, cn tho pa-t of tho Bxeou
ties, is despotism, and that competition with thorn
o i the broad ocean is an invasion of their legiti
mate sovereignty.
Let us oontraat thia with the proposition of Mr.
Vanderbilt: —
But it is said by tho warm and oxoited advocates
for tho perpetuity of this monopoly, that tho speed
of the Oollius stesmors is unattainable by others—
that tho ships of that lino are tho perfection of
naval construction. From this proposition 1 bog
le ive to dissent; and I stand roady at any moment
to contract with tha Government (and to give the
requisite security lor par'ormanoe of my oontrnot)
to transport the mails fiom New York to Liver
pool twice a month, fur the term of flve years, in
ships of equal or superior description to Ih se of
'.he Collins lino, and atan average timo of twenty
four hours less than the average time in which
thesliips of that lino have hitherto potformsd thoir
vojagos, and to rendor tho serv oa for the sum ot
nine.ecu thous aud two hnndrod and fifty dollars
($19,250) per round voyage, ( ha sum tor whioh
the C-llins line originally oontrnctod,) and, inda
li nit of stridf performance, 1 the ser
stipulate not! to ask of acoept ofadvances from the
Government to aidiu tho oonstruotion of the steam
ers, and not to besiege Congress annually tor an
increased allowance. I should have made to tbe
X’ostmaster-Gcnond a proposition of thia tonor,
hut I was inclined to spare tho Collins line and
for that cause alone I refrained from making it.

Tun Ol'roaiNU Foeoks. —A correspondent of tho
Now York Journal of Commoroo, writing from the
Orimoe, givoe tho following summary of the op
posing forec-s at Sevastopol. The number of the
French troops in tho Crimea is muoh larger than
has generally been supposed:
Tha Bussians have suffered and are still suffer
ing in a more torrible degree than yon can iiaagine.
tVe havo no precise means of n oertaining their
loss by dlssaso and hardships, but we must esti
mate largely. Thoy have had at different times
not loss than 160,U00 ir.en in the Crimea, and of
that number more than half have perished. From
well authenticated Bourses I have obtaiied ao
counta of tho number of Russians, as given early
this month, both within aud without Sevastopol.
Tvronty-twa thousand men constitute the garrison
of tho boaioeod city. Os those, it has been said
ninca, that six thousand wore obliged to leave the
eity for w int of proviaione, which were becoming
ig'.roe insido. The army f.t Inkerman numbers
about twenty fivo thousand men, and it is said
that Uanrchik ff oommanda it iu person. Gen.
liiprandi’s army of twenty thousand men has re
tain «<i from Bataoiu Serai, whoro they went lor
provirione, and ara again quartered at their old
position on the banks of the Tcbernaya to the right
of tho height* of Balaklava. This makes a total of
sixty-seven thousand men; a foroo fur inferior So
tho allied troops in tlio Crimea.
lost us make a brief glance at the numbers and
position of our troops, and judge of tbe facility
with whioh, “burrin’ the woalher,” tho latter
might cope with their enemy. A foroo of eighty
six Ihouser 1 Frenchmen deiands the lines or •■-
Henohmenin from the Chersonese to the extreme
right of our position in the rear. Thirteen then
sand English in the cam pa, and two thousand nine
hundred iu the barber, lately arrived, assist in the
slews and trench dutiea. Fifteen thousand Turks
Aro' attached te the French and Snglish divisions
respectively; thus making a total of one hundred
and sixteen thousand nine hundred men, prinoi
pally employed in conducting the siege, and the
defence of the extensive linua Io the right. We
might add to these, the twenty-three thousand Ot
tomans who have been thrown into Eupatoria;
and when we consider that this allied force more
than double* that of the onctny, we feel astound
ed that a blow is not struck while the enemy is so
enfeebled, not merely in numbers, but also in
strength and confidence. But there aro many
things iu tho way, some of which I have mention
ed, snch as tho difficulty, or rather impossibility,
of bringing up cannon for now batteries. The bad
condition of tho roads is the causo of many obsta
cles, which would not otherwise exist. And then,
as tho French say, we mußt atlributeagreat many
delays to the incongruities ar.d deficiencies of tbe
staff ariiitocracy attached to Lord Eaglan. These
have been bo apparent to all who have seen tho re
sults of thoir workmanship, that other pens than
mino have touched the subject, aud that not
lightly.

have already observed, it promises to bo ono of the
most exciting and brilliant over hold. Lexington

continue to inepiro their spirited owners, and their
rosnective supporters with the highest confidence
ar.e tho warmest hopes. Tlie former is to open
the meeting by running his groat match for $20,-

in Amorioa; and among the closing attractions of
tho oooaaion is to bo the groat contost between him
and his renownod and thus far suooeßßful rival.—
These two events alone aro sufficient to stamp the
approaching mooting as one of tho most attractive
which our oity has over offored. But they are far
from being tho only groat raoes which aro to bo
run. Tho list of horses, indeed, comprises the
names of sovoral which alroudy pro in iso i,;» bo no
unworthy competitors for a share of the curricular
fame which thoy almost exclusively appropriate
while many huvo to show whothor they, too, can
not rival the best of th«ir predecessors. The can

for aro very numorous and the prizes liberal.—
