According to a letter from Bo: bn of tho Ist uist.,;
in the P -St Aiupt Gaxstto of Frankfort, tho Danish
perceives that itu project for abolish

equal to their value will ouconuter insurmountable
obstaciasi and it therefore proposes to render

to pay them ioUi Danish Consuls in the Baltic

Threatened Bcfturk bstween England and
?paim. Tho Madrid correhpondont of the Times,
writing ou ti e 8d inet., says :-r- 4i There are two
cases respecting which own and th® Spanish
governmen 1 are at diff.ireuee, and which, i regret
to say, have each arrived at a dtage which oeoiw to
)i real an very sorionsiy tbe Irieodly relations be
tween the two countries; and I have reason to
thia'k that Lord Howden lias received inbtruc r ions
ri A* tvc to these circumstances, and tho portsihle
result c ‘ the negotiations respecting them which
vill be very unpalatable to the Spanish govern
q'ho chief .details of tho above mentioned cases
re as follows;*—Mr. Boylan, an English merchant
of great respectability, hud been leaidout fer 14
vears i i the Rdaiul Onba, and was established at
SantiagodeCuba, where ne carried on an exten
>ive commerce. About two years since he was
suddenly ordered by tbe authorities to leave Uie
island, and ho procoadsd to Ejglaud to luy the
c »so before his own government.
It is said, though no proofs whatever have been
brought forward to back the rep*.rt, that he was
suspected by the Spanish authorities of being im
plicated in political intrigued, which Mr. Boylan
flrmly denies, declaring on the contrary, Goat he
Ivjs never interfered or had anything to do with
oolit.es at all, ard that hi* own interests were en
tirely bound up m tbe prosperity and peace of the
•c,a n( i. It appears that our government took up
Mr. Boy lan’s c*.-*e very strongly. He had been
subjected to hetvy lo*eea by beirg obliged to
abandon his large establishment in Cuba, and they
insisted on the Spanish Government making him
Inc* reparation. The result of the negotiations
which ensued was, that the latter agreed to do so,
ujdit was mutually arranged that the case should
be submitted to arbitration, our Government nomi
nating Mr. Muir, English Consul at New Orleans,
aatheir arb trator, and the Spanish Government
the Marquis do Espina, then Governor ol Santiago
le Cuba on theii side. Mr. Boylan was also allow
’d to return to Cuba for a year, to arrange his
.flairs and abide the result of the aroitration, but
uow oo ics the most serious part of the ease.
In April last, tsetore the result of the arbitration
was kn: w , and, indeed, before the English arbi
trator bad even arrive j, M r . Boylan received a
peremptory order from the author! ies ol Santiago
le Cuba to leave the Island wiihin o gh-. days, the
pretext for which that i o had not fulfilled the
oonditione on which he was allowed to re'urn, the
principal of which were that he must take out a
et er *f *i»turaiizatioa {which would require him
to change his religi nL or must apply to the Cap
twin General for special permission to remain long
er. The latter oonditiou he had compded with,
having mem or olised tbe Captain-General, stating
that ke bad round it impossible hitherto to dispose
rtf his property there, and praying for farther time
to allow him to do so. To tbia memorial n an
swer was received, n r would the authorities of
Santirgo do Cuba ailow Mr. Boylan to proceed to
Havana to lay h s case before th Captain General,
but be w&» put on board a Frouch merchant ves
rtel at Santiago, and;, convoyed again to Ecgiand.
The reeult ot all this has been that Mr. Loyian is
ruined, audthat oar Government, naturally indig
nant at tho conduct pursued by the Spanish au
thorities, after the two Governments had agreed to
submit the whole cose to arbitration, have demand
ed full and speedy satisfaction, and I believe tha‘
it has been formally intimated that the coDtinu
■tuce of friendly relations between England and
Spain may depe* d on these demands being
promptly complied with.
The other cause *s also a very serious one. A
Spanish vessel called the Fernando Po, and owned
oy Barcelona houses, sailed from that port for
Fernando Po, having on board a great number ot
water casks, respecting which she possessed no
document to prove t at they were required for any
awful purpose. She was captured by two English
cruisers— the Dolphin, Lieutenant Commander
V\ebber, and the Mmx, Lieutenant Command j.
Roe—on suspicion of being mployed in the slave
trade, and was sent to Sierra Lsone for trial by the
mixed commisaioc there. The result is not yet
known. The owners have addressed strongre
c arnations to the Government here, a* d among
them is Dm Domingo Moostich, who was Intg
established on the African coast, and according to '
the official reports ol cur authorities, was engaged
most » xtensiveiy in the sieve trade at Whydah,
and other par.s.
It c*me to the knowledge of our Government
that this person had been selected by the Govern
ment here to fid tbe poet of Governor cf Fernando
Po, vu ch lying in the bight of Biafra, and under
the absolute sway of sacs a person, would become
a mere depot lor the convenience ol siave traders,
and strong remonstrances were made against such
an appointment, in the face of the enaagements
existing between the two eountriee the
s »ve trade; it but appears that the Govern
meat persist in meir intention, and ttut tings
have gone so for that our Government have felt it
to intimate that the appointment of Don
Domingo Mcoetich as Gov nor of Fernando Po
w ii be regarded as tantamount to making that is
land a depot for slaves, and that it will be dealt
with accordingly.

The Attack —O- tbs morning of the 29th, or
tther at mid ight, t e d-stant ramble of gone wa*
heard by the e-LCtiies on Tahmsel, and Gw. Kmetx
at once called ell the troops in that direction no
der arms, but as er this a lorg interval of silence
cnfco -d. About an hour before the dawn sundry
saepiciom noises waa egain heard, and at last, by
the feeble light of the crescent moon, a large dark
moving mass was observed advancing towards a
battery in which was C«pt. Teeadale, a moat gal
lant young soldier; at onoe tbe guns were opened
oo the column, when a loud hurrah arose from en
ruirs unveen, who had almost surrounded the
whole of the northwest works. All suspense was
now at an eod, the corps of Turks iu this position
found them-elves ass&u.ted in front and flank,
wb4e a eclamn wte moving round iu their rear. It
was still nearly dark, so that in this, the com
mencement o ttaeactioD, very little of our power
fui artillery coal i come into play. T e Rue-dan col
umns, advancing with wonder! al steadiness, were
met oy volleys of musketry at point blank rauge,
directed from flanking breastworks, while from
lime to time Teesdtle’s guns poured out murder
oaf grape. At the extierne point of Tamasl the
enemy actually penetrated into the ba»teries and
were at cuce bayoneted.
TheDexenok. —While this murderous struggle
was going on, a vigorous artille y fire from the
enemy was kept up on K-mli T-»tia, in the plain,
far rem ved from the xeul p>int of danger. This,
of coarse, was but a feint. Fort Lake, the key of
the whole position oo ihe north, and the English
batteries Immediately behind the town, which I
have mentioned, were now attacked, and the lat
ter being defended by t» very aeak fcrce, chiefly
irregulars, were carrie i by assault, and the enemy
tbori began shelling the lowd. Bit daylight now
showed clearly each position and movement o'
the enemy. General Williams despatched »wo or
three companies ol Rifles to IH« English Tabi as,
under one of our best officers, Kidir Bey, and those,
with troops from Fort charged the Rus
rti- n*, «nd fairly drove them out of the batteries at
tho | oint of tbe bayonet; meant mo, from Karad
at h Capt. Thompson bad, with the eye of a g*uo
ral, albeit a young one despatched one or two c'm
ponies over the gorge and river, who took up a
Ann ing pos tion in the midst of rocks command
ing these E lgiish Tt bias, an i by immensu exer
tions be also got some heavy guns to bear on them,
so that be soon changed the Russian rc’reat into a
rabble route. Some Russian cavalry made a gal
laut charg , but soon carno to grief among some
*'-n os d-rloup.
Feb cious Courage of the Tubes—Meanwhi c
the ba’tle was raging at the origins! point of
attack ; th . rolling tire of Musketr, was incessant,
ard tho thur der of the artillery from the numerous
batteries never ceased for a moment. At one time
ftu-i only onoe, some little sympton of giving way
was observed, no sooner observed than tho fresu
fi.e from reinforcements despatched by Gen. Wil
bams and Colonel Like, and ab!y bandied by
Gen Kmetz, changad tbe backward into a :orward
movement; the loud hurrahs of the Russian hosts
were soon mingled with tbe yells of the Turks
who fought with tho ferocity of tigers, charging
repeatedly with tho bayonet. Wlite turbanea
citizens were seen rushi.ig into the fight, howing
with their scimitars; and L -zi moantaiueers spring
ing like wolves from behind rocks, and charging
with the clubbed rifle, or b oad two edged dagger.
The grey coated Russians, too, fought with won
drous courage ; again ard egain they advanced to
the deadly breast works, and were blown from
the very mouths cf the guns or bayoneted in the
b ittoiioa. As the action continued, and each new
movement of tfce enemy was tried, the excellence
ol Colonoi Like’s batteries was fully proved.
Wherever the columns cf the enemy were direc
tod they found themselves under a flanking tire of
heavy guns; it they gained p- seession of a battery
weuker than the rest, they were again pounded by
our artillery from some ba tery which commanded
the we her point; meantime any assault on the
keys of our position was altogether hop« less—the
Colonel himself, under u heavy fire, directed the
artillery o! the two principal batteries and well
did iho Turkish officers, who are second to none
in tho world in their practical skill in this branch,
second his efforts.
Kktbkat of the Kusbians—Lack of Catalby.—
1 am unable to do justice to this guliant affair of
the Heights ot Kars ; t-.e battle continued with
out inlet mission for seven hours, and about mid
day the Russian columns wore seen running down
tho hills much faster than th«*y had advanced,
their cavalry and horse artillery protecting their
retreat. Two of our forts named China Tab'a and
Te k Ta b , or tbo one gun battery, be tb ot which
cf retch cf tho enemy’s light guns, fired
into tbeir retreatiMg columns with heavy ordnance,
the former battery especially uoing much execu

plete our day’s work.
Russian Lots—Omab Pasoha’s Movement.—
The number of Rus*-ians buried after tho battle
is said to bo over six thousan ». The Daily News’
correspondent says : Omar Pasha has communi

his intention to at ack the Kas*i> ts in tho heart of
Georgia, and that soon. General Mouravieff will,

Pin, StxaHAM, ah» Bans.—There ia no foun
dation for the -Ulement which has been going the
round of the papers, that Straban, Paul aud Bate-,
tee bankers, were about to be sent to Gibraltar to
suffar their sentence at the Criminal Court. Gib
raltar is not by any means an easy station, but
may be reckoned perhaps one of the most penal
and bard working, as well as being by far from the
moei healthy. Tee convicts are now in Newgate.
They will, in the first inatanoe, suffer the usual
period of separate confinement, wnieh is, we believe
s year. After that, they will probably be trane
ported to a penal settlement for the remainder of
their sentence; but co decision will be come to
until alter tbe customary probation of separate
confinement. —London Obeerver.

Carlos. Dtoeoverie. I. GaasemaU—The Bernals,
of Am* qae Cities
A letter is given in tbe New York Tribune, from
the pen of Abbe B.u bourg, a lesrued Trench
pries', in which he claims to have discovered in
Goslemala, the remains ot vsriou. antique cities
of grest magnitude and -ohdny—alrosome most
precious monuments it the languages and history
ot the abroriginal people, long anterior to tbe
arrival ot the Spaniards. Whrt will be th. most
surprising to scholars, and will, doubtless, bo re
ceived with seme incredality, is tho assertion of
M. da Boarbonrg, that these languages contain
u deuianle relics ol various Scandinavian and
Teat nic tongues, Danish, Swedish. English, and
even some oriental words are said to be found in
g eat distinctness and purity, mingled in the early
dislecis ot the country, while Indian traditions
declare that their ancestors migrate J from the
northeast by sea through mist aud snow. From
these philoiogicil remsius snd these t'sditi. ns M.
de Bourbourg concludes that there was a migration
into the country troth the settlement of the North
men in Massachusetts. It true, this is s most
interesting contribution to the history of the Ame
rican continent, and the public will wait with im-
S alienee for that more complete a . count of it which
1. de Bourboorg intends to lay before the world,
with the documentary evidence sustaining his
o rnolnsions.
After giving some aocountof his dspar nrelrom
Rsbinsl, he says that b„ ascended a height, snd
discovered the remsius oi two ancient cities.
‘•The nearest ooe of these ancient cities is about
one league Irom Kabinsi, and on the norm aide of
church, the Crecles give it the name oi Cakyu.—
The m ne distant of these two cities ia two leagues
to tbe northwest ol the church, which ia called in
i he country Txak Pckoma, city of the Pokomamex
They are situated in the manner of thi ancient
Casitilisn cities of Europe of tbe middle ages, on
summits extremely craggy, whioh prejee from a
chain of mountains covered with pines, and which
I have oeeu iulormed are called tbe Sierra deTiki
r»m. This mountain separates Lower from Upper
Vera Pax. At the bottom neatly northwest, I per
ce ved a mountain more elevated than the rest,
which on that side torms the second tt rminus of
the square, snd is about ten leagues from Rabinal.
O.j one ocoteiou I asked how it was called, and
was informod by tho Indians that it was the moun
tain ot Meaoan, a name wl icb is well known in
the history of the Quiches preserved by Father
Xoneoes, and which fixes an important geograph
ical point in the ancient history of Guatemala.—
Tbe mountain of Meaven is at the confluence of
the streams of th.* pi n of Kibinal aud of tbe Rio
Negro, (or BlackeJ vur.) winch also enlarges the
ta •
poiiataro louud other vestige® of aDOiont edifices,
aud much more noble, although lesa iu exteut,
than those of Cakyu and l‘a*k Pokomx. the first of
which I visited shortly alter my arrival at Ribinal.
u The height npoa which the ancient city of the
Pokomames is situated is nearly one thousand feet
above the level of tho plain, ana is on the groands
of the hacienda of Buena Vista, belonging to one
of the confra*eruities oi the church.
“Oa the 21st May last I directed my oourse
thi her, accompanied by the principal people of
the piace. The first hills whioh 1 ascended are
slop ug, and ihe ground is composed generally of
a species of elate, which is hero called * laja.* The
soil fcae no fertility, aud vegetation ia oonaoqnoni
Jy spar e. When 1 approached the ruins nothing
more was visible than the remainsof the masonry
work, which scarcely abows above the ground;
but as I continued to ascend, they became more
percept ble and perfect. We finally arrived at a
point where every thing is bettor preserved.—
There is a palace ol one hundred and ninety feet
in length, the wails ol which are eleva ed about
two > ard* l , on a mass of steps which form a terrace
similar to that of Paienque. Jn front tlnre is an
oratory of pyremidal sli*pe aud nearly five yards
in height, with svaire on Ps four sides, two of
whioh are larger than the others, and have a base
of forty feet in longth.
“The edifice resembles those of the Q lichen,
judging from the designs that 1 have bad before
me. On the platform of the pyramids are pro
served even tho remtinsof the walls which encir
c!ed the sacellum. Tbo whole, as a mass, is ia
admirable condition, and in many places I esw
even tbe lime which covers tbe walls well p*e
served, said wills being compded of the same
material (la.ias) abov 5 statod, placed one on the top
of the other, and united with mortar, iu the same
manner as our brick waTs. 1 continued ascend
ing, und on my right nnd left the remains of
temples iocr*ased in number, ail being of tho
fame construction. These ruins occupy a eon
siderablo spare. . I observed among other thing*,
that each tcnpl was situat-d in a plrz>, and in
tbo cent’O ot a ve r y lartre house, which was
elevated on a terrace, and api-oars to have beoD tho
habitation of the auciect n o ks—a palace which
must hiv i baen the rosidoncoof Ahan
the presiding chief of th * ward. In the conside
Table space which I measured between the tomple
and the palace, there is a high tquare pedestal
preserved, which appears io have served in other
times as the base of the s’atuo of some her© or god.
I have remarked the similarity of tho constructions
of this city with h?se cf the neighboring city ol
Cakyu. I ascended to the most elevated fl%t of
th s mountain, and found myself surr >un led by
ruins, the extent ard multitude of whi U surprised
me. Eich eminence ia occupied by one or more
palac:s, with temples and pedestals, and the
intermediate portions ODvored with the remains
of humble cottages.”
The second is thus noticed:
“Tl e otter rained city is in front of Rabinal; from
tfce porch of the church, and pven from *he yard
of my house, l can seo the walls which proteotod
the principal palace on tho south side; 1 also see
tbe steps of a double esoalade and the remains of
two temples of pyramidal form, covered at present
by mofS,ftnd which rise a', the two extremes like
two advanced sentinel?,
“ It was ontho sßth May last that I visited the
heigh'B of Cakyu, acoompanie 1 br an intelligent
lud.an servant, who is well acquainted with ail the
ue.ghboring plaies.
“1 had more labor in reaching this summit than
I had in going toTzik Pokoma, 04 account of the
foliage overhanging the path more than on the
former route; 1 was, consequently obliged to leave
my mule under tho rshade of romo aarse bushes. —
We then pursued our oourse on a serpentine foot
ehich followed along the declivity, and which
obably been the road of ybe ancient-Warriors
EiL.fQ.iit had beeu cu». ip rock. We soon
in* fTn --i
a donbio palaoo with many escalades, aD« tne oMf
of which measured more the : five huDdred feet
front. I had then arrived at tbe oitadel, the resi
d nee of the anoiont Princes of Rabinal. The
'principal part of tbe b bitationa are greater than
that of Teak Pokoma, but in a still more mined
state. It was here that tbe Rabinaleroa oentered
their powor, alter havinz inhabited the regions of
the Pokamnmes, undonbtfy because from tfiis
point they had the entire control of the road of
Upper Vera Pax, and by wh gh thair enemies bad
fief. According to a manuscript ahich I have
just translated from the Oakociquel dialept, and
moat interesting for the hiaiory of Guatemala th.
Bummit of Cakyu had, in tho time of tbe Pokoma
mea, tbe name of Z imaneio. This overlooks per
pendicularly the little town of Rabinal ou the
south, and on the north tho city whioh served aa
a fortress to the Royal residence. Thisci y has at
its bru.6 8 series of small esplanade >, where mine
of teuiplea m bg soen, as in Tzak Pokoma, many
of them Bituateu in tbe most doligt.tful of apote. —
Having said sufficient about the neighboring city,
I shall not extend the description of Cakyu, and
Bhall only say that it was much more extensive and
ita edilioee generally bettor preserved!”

Tzoc.Lt. IV Minotnu —W e have heretofore
stated the tact that Mr. Park, of the sParky lie D«-
minary, bad been invited by the cit-e ns of thnA
place to return there, and that the pwoplo of Platte
city were again demanding that he Bhould be
driven sway. The Western Reporter gives an »c
--eoant of a meeting of the citivens of that place on
tbe evening of the 19th inat., and states -hat pre
vious to the assemblage fifty armed men from
Platte city had collected in the eozrt house and
seemed inclined to overawe end control the meet
ing. No disturbance, however took place. The
citizene of Parkvitle and ita vicinity claim kbat it
is their privilege and net th. privilege cf persons
residing at Platte city, or in any other section, to 1
determine who is and who is not a fit person to re
side al the former place. The meeting adopted a
preamble and resolutions affirming that "the honor,
giory, and beet interests of ths pro-slavsry eanse,
aa well in M saosri aa in Kansas, depend upon the
observance and enforcement of the law,” recogniz
ing “a large mrjjority of theoitizsns of Parkviile

brought before the Missouri Legislature by Mr.

be necessary to pi oteet Mr. Park in his person and

and sharp debate, anj finally resulted in rejecting

the San Fraucieco H raid of the 8a of Nov., from
which we make tho following summary :
Indian Hostilitum.— From Puget acuud to Shasta
Butte, tho savages, divided though they be into
many distinct tribes, have made a simultaneous
attack upon tho whites, a large uamber ot whom
wce masacrcd ct ihe flr-t outbreak, bolore tho
hostile design ol' tlio Indians woro known. Iu
R -guo River Valley, the Sbatas, Klamath and Ap
plegate Indians have coinbinod. They fell upon
small parties of two or three travelling In tho
raoanta na, aud upon is luted farm houses and
settlements, and musacrod nil they could lay their
hands on. Volunteers turned out in every direc
tion—'he United States troops from Fort Lane,
under Muj. Fitzgornid, took the field and pursue i
ihosavagrjs, chastising them eoverely in several
skirmishes. They are said not to exceed two hun
dred fighting men, but are all a reckless sat, who
go ’o war as they would upon a wild frolic, regard
io sos the conseqaonce. Iu their mountain fast
no see it will bo difficult to find thorn, and still
more difficult ;o exterminate them.
Farther north, nearly all the tribes north of the
Columbia Rivor and east of the Cascade R»ngo,
have confederated and sworn to root out “the
tons,” as they style the Americans. Tbe first
to commence hostilities, aud the most active in
securing tho co operation of the other tribos, were
ho Yakimas and Ciickatats. With these there
is every probability the Walla Wallas, Nez Perces,
Umatillas, Cay uses and Palouses have united, aid
together they c m bring five or six thousand war
riors into the field. A band of fifteen hundred
took the initiative by attaching Major Hallar, in
command of a sma'l forco of United Stat-s troops,
who had penetrated into thoir country. The
ludians wero well armed, bo! 1 and defiant, and are
said to fight well. The troops wero compelled to
re'reat with Ices to the DuMop, whore they were
subsequently joined by eight or nine hundred
volunteers,; nd one or two companies of regulars.
W th thiß force, operations would at once bo com

It was only yesterday wo wore called upon to re
cord a fight between Gen. Harney’s erramand and

must bo done against tho Yakimas and their con
icdorates beforo the winter sots in, as the troops
conuot operate iu the mountains duriug the cold

would be to oucourage those tribes that still remain
pcacor'ble, to declare against us, and would leave
ihe settlements exposed to destruction in detail.

that its object was a defensive one, to protect Bri

About iwcuty ye irs ago—u man and
wil j (of prouiiueucs by iJßnionaore ,>
had boon wedded long enough to bi blessoo(f) by
a temi Is bubo, discovered .hat they did not love
one another as they should, and iiiorefore (separa
te forever. The wife look the child and sought
a home in au Kua eru city, where her |>aronts rarti
d-ird, rasuming her maiden name aud giving the
ciuid the same. After a divoroe had been agreed
n r o i and obtiii ei by duo course of lew, the lady
married, and the little girl was sent to a reJstivo
in ho interior of New York Slate, whore her odu
#,liou was attsudsd to, and where she lived until
a t iff moulLa blues.
The man has continued to reside in the West,
and being young when tsparatod from his wile, ot
a Lalo coualitulion, and purlieu arly careful to re
mote from his countenance, aa fur as possible all
truces of time’s foot prints, bats kepi up a very
youthful appearance, considering h a ago. Being
in uffiuant Ctrc jinstances, of good addreie, and <L>-
cidealy agreeable in ihe little niceties that continue
to stamp the gentleman of la»hionable lino,
ulwuys r'jgsrded as a dosiruble prize by designing

snares to the great annoyance of pretty girls and
charming widows, who reully tho; ght it wus tho
duty ot Mr. —— to got marriod. It might have
been settled aversion to the sex—or might bo at
tribute 1 to his early lesson—yet, a fact it was, that
he did not marry.
But not to be too profcx, we’ll cot off some of the
liltie unimportant ituma uud proceed to the story.
Iu last Juue a Mias J arrived hero from tho
Etist on a visit to a relative who had beon a resi
dent of Q icon City but a few months ago. The
second week of her scjjuin throw her in company
with this grass widower of twon’y years standing,
who showed by his attentions that ho was more
than usually improHsad by riie c'larms of the fair
stranger. Every evening found him at her side,
und fthe wa» tho. g t not to be entirely inseußibla
to his charms of person and mind. A month
glided away—a month cf courtship, whioh was
carefully noted aad meaningly wiukod at by her
relative. At length hor" bund wts a«koJ in
marriage, aid the matter referred to her con
nection.
Hi seemed to favor tho project, and appointed
an interv ew for tho trio tbe camo evening. They
mot in the ptrlor, when a more formal solicitation
for her hand was made; and while tho ardent sui
tor was wuiting with breathless anxiety for the an
swer that was to seal his fato, the young ladv w«3
lc l forward and presented to her own father 1— tbe
lovt_r.
It is nesdieß3 to add that both were astounded,
howev r, it has resulted in good ; the fathor hns
nettled a liberal fortune upou the daughter, and
crotbis both are in Paris, preparatory to makiug
tho tour of Europe. This romance of every day
lire is but auother inatanoe of truth oftentimes
b ing stranger than fiction.
Separating the Si xeb in School.—Ou this point
Mr. Btowe,u celebrated Glasgow teaoher, uses the
following* language:
“The youth of both sexea ol Scottish peasantry
have been t*dnca ed together, nnd as a whole, the
Ikols ara tho rnobt mornl people on Iho face of the
globo. Educnt on i i England is given soparntely,
nr.d we have novel heard fr< m practical that
ai y binftfit hn3 ariseu from this arrangement,
tv me ii fluontial indivi lunlft there mourn over the
popular prsjudico ou this point. In Dublin, a
m r gor number of girls turn out badly, who have
boon educated alone till they attain the age of ma
tnri’lsthan of tborto who have boon otherwise
brought crerpoTtrtTcm *i"rrr6 sexes erve
found to bo positively injurious. It is statod, ou
t! e best authority, that of those girls educated in
the schools of con vents apart from the boys, tho
giest m -jority go wrong within a month after ».e
--ing let Joomo on s.cioty, and mooting theothorsex.
They cannot, it ia said, rchiht tho slightest oomph
mentof flittery. Tbo separation is intended to
keep them strictly inornl, but this unnatural »3-
o.usion actually geuei-tee the very princip’os de
sired to bo avoided.
“We ropoalthat it is impossible to raise girls aa
h ; gh intellectually without b >ys as with them ;
end it is impossib’u to raise bo>B morally os high
without girls. The girls morally elevate the boys,
and the boys intellectually elevate the girls. But
more then this, girls themselves ar i morally eleva
ted by the presence of bjy.*, ntd boys are ir,tel
Icctually elevutad by the pr«Bence of girls. GirD
brought up with boys aro more pcsilivtlj moral,
and boys brought up iu pchooli with girls are
more positively intellectual by tho softening influ
enoo oi the female character.
The Two Hsias.—“l remember,” says the late
Poßimttfctcr General of the United States, “tho
first, time I visited Burlington, Vt., as Judge of the
Supreme Court. I had left it niflry years betore,
a poor boy. At the time 1 loft there woro two
lumiliea of special note for their standing and
wealth. Each of then i.t>d a son about my own
age. I wis very poor, and theaeboys wero very
rich. During the long years oi hard toil which
parsed before my return, l had almost forgotten
them. They had long ago forgotten mo.
Approaching tho court bouso, fer tho first tuns,
in company with tovoral geutionien of tho bench
and bar, I noticed, in the court bou.e yard, a large
pile of old furniture about to be sold at auction,—
Tho scones of early boyhood with which I was
surrounded prompted mo to aek whoso it was. I
wa*! told it belonged to Mr. J. ‘Mr. J.f I ren.om
ber a fam.ly of that name, very wealthy; there
was a son, toe; can it be he ? I was told it was
©van so. 110 was tho son of one of the families al
ready alluded to. He had inherited re.ore than I
had earned, and spent it all; and now hi« own fami
ly was reduced to real want, ond his furniture was
that day to be sold for debt. I went into tho
courthouse suddenly, yoi almost glad that I was
born poor. I was soon absorbed in the businet-H
before me. One of the first cases celled originated
in a low drunken quonel betwoen Mr. H. and Mr.
A. Mr. H., thought I, th t is a familiar name. Cun
itba? In short, I found that this was the son
of the other wealthy mnn referred to I l was
overwhelmed nliko with nrtonmhment and thar.ks

standing, and thank*g ; ving that 1 was not born
to inherit wealth without toil.

Calcutta Trade ot Boston.—This trade has at
taiued an importance at tho p*eftont time which
wm little droamed of hy the pioneer bouses in the
business. Within tho memory of tho writer, the
trade was carried on by a few houses at Boston
and Salem, in small ships and brigs of two to three
hundred tons burthen 1 These ships brought as
sorted cargoes of various kinds of g *ods, but not
greater quantities of the heavier kinds of merchan
dise BU?h as linseed, saltpetre, bides, hemp «Jfce.
Binee time, nnd especially within the last
few years, this trade haa increaHed wilh gTeut ra
pid : tv, aod ha a became one tho laigest branches
of business pursued from this port. The impoi fa
ttens oHinseed at Boston aro enormous, aud al
most rival in quantity those of Indian corn. Du
ring tho year endiDg Sept Ist, 1854, nearly nino
hundred thousand bushels woro imported into
Boston. There were also brought from Calcutta
gunny bogs, 20,000 bries do., 120,000 bags
stitpetre, 10,000 bales hides, and vast quanti
ties of other goods. The importations this year
will prpbably creatiy exceed those of Rny previous
peasori, aa wa have a cons ant fleet of ships arriv
ing from the East In ion, with enormous cargoes
in comparison witii tho. oof f irener years. At the
last accounts, some twenty five ships, mostly own
ed in New K gland, were loading at Ca cuUa for
London. The American trade with ti Mentis is
almost entirely from this port, rave now and then
a cargo to Naw York aud Philadblphia.— Bo*ion

How to Cook Meat.—A well cooked piece of
moat should full of it* own juice or rata ral
gravy. In roasting, therefore, it should be ex
posed to a quick fire, that the external snrfaco may
be made to contract at once, and tha albumen to
coagulate before tho juice ha* bad time to escape
from within. And eo in boiling. When a piece
of beef or mutton is plunged into boiling water,
the outer pert contracts, tba albumen, which is
near the surface, coagulate*, an i the internal juice
, is prevented either from escaping into the water •
■ by which it is aurrounded, or from being diluted
or weakened by the admission of water among it.
' When out up, therefore, the mat yields much

Improvement on the Ohio River.— At a lato
meeting of the Pit'shurg Bjard of Trade, a gontlo
man submitted a piopoahion on the subject of im
proving tho Ohio river, by converting it into a
slack-water canal. The suggestions wore unani
mously approved by the Board, and wero earnest
ly recommended to public consideration. Tho
distance from Pittsburgh to the mouth of the
Ohio is 977 miles with an aggregate f-llcf 425
fact. It ib assumed that to couvort the cnliro
river into slack-wator would require only fifty
lucks, of an average lift ot B)gf feet, which would
create polls of an aggregate length of 182 miles.
The estimated cost of the work is from • even to
ten thousand dollars per mile, or from seven to ten
millions of dollars for tho whole work, wh oh is
supposed to bi ab>ut half ha expense of an or

of a railroad.
