that one-fifth of our entire population are pan* ' pens, supported in part or in whole by charity. In the calculation, we include only the in-door and out-door poor of the city, alms-house, and the beneficiaries of the Society for Meliorating the Condition of the poor. There are besides a large number in other charitable institutions. We do not speak of the children schooled at the public expense, but only of those who are fur nished gratuitously with food, clothes, and fuel. Every five families support a sixth, at least a large' portion of the-winter. The effect of these abundant supplies is enervating. The knowledge that others will provide for their wants in the winter, excites the improvident to spend the summer in idle wastefulness. Such facts must command the most profound attention of our citizens. The proportion, which is now a fifth, was not long ago an eighth, and will soon be a fourth. Who shall say that il the same system is pursued, it will never be a half? There is on Blackwell’s Island a hospital, kept at great expense, in fine order, devoted entirely to the diseases of lewdness, and used almost wholly for the benefit of infamous houses. This establishment panders and encourages the lowest depths of degradation; and to break it up, would be a more serious blow at the houses which create its business, than any efforts of the Police, Curiosities of the West.—A gentleman who has been travelling through the Western country writes to the Newton Journal of what he has seen. He says : “I have seen many other great and amazing things—among which are soil from 20 to 30 feet in dejith—a Kentuc kian 7 feet 10 inches high—a catfish weighing 100 pounds—perch 15 pounds— soo bushels of strawberries in one day many of which were one inch in diameter— trees, 27 feet in circumfe rence—prairie flies nearly as large as hum ming birds, and musquitoes about the size of yellow wasps.” Perfection attained in the Manufacture of Glass. It is difiicultto foresee to what perfec tion the manufacture of Glass may be brought, and to what purposes the article may yet be applied. The balance-spring of a chronome ter is now made of glass, as a substitute for steel, and possesses a greater degree of elas ticity and a greater power of resisting the alter nations ot heat and cold. A chronometer with a glass balance-spring was sent to the North Sea, and exposed to a competition with nine other chronometers, and the result was a re port in favor of the glass-spring one. Struggles of Ge.vius.— Few sights are more saddening than that of a young spirit struggling in vain against overwhelming obstacles; un heeded, unassisted, without friends, without position, and without advisers. But this sight, though sad to the casual spectator, has another aspect to him who looks deeper. Underneath those thwarted hopes, that wild ambition, there breathes a free spirit of energetic action: and this activity is a fountain of delight, as activity always is. We who see the struggling boy, and calmly measure the immensity of the bar riers which shut him from success, we may deem him unhappy, because we foresee that he will be so. But we do not feel the rapture of his reveries—the delight in creation—the trans ports of anticipated success—transports more vividly felt at that period when criticism has not chilled flush confidence, with its cold misgiv ings- The poet’s desire is to “ get published;" in that anticipation lies his delight. He is the lover who is still enamored, because still un married. He has the world lying before him ; and it is plastic to his hopes; he moulds it as he wills. After publication (that marriage with the muse) he can no longer dream; he must confront reality. The world, before so plastic, is now a rock, whereon are wrecked the cher ished fancies. The unpublished poet mistakes his aspiration for inspiration. He confounds the excitement awakened in him by great works, with the excitement awakened by self developed ideas and self-experienced feelings, which imperiously demand utterance. He lives in the circle traced by his own delusions. Per haps, there has been no author, whatever may have been his renown, who has looked back upon the early years of uncrowned endeavor, without envying their freshness of spirit, vir ginity ot soul, and boundlessness of hope. Os the two points in the adventures of a diver, One—when a beggar he prepares to plunge; One—when a prince he rises with the pearl. The first is the happier; the confidence of the beggar exceeds in rapture all the triumph of the prince. The pearl is beggary beside the boundless wealth of imagination.— Ranthorpe. Kicking Cows.—borne farmers and inexpe rienced dairymen are greatly troubled with un ruly milkers, and frequently allow themselves to get into a passion, and abuse them cruelly. This is bad policy. Cruelty never yelcured an animal of this defect, but on the contrary, tends to confirm it. The following remedy for the kicking evil.’ was published -ome time since in the papers, and in several instances which have fallen under my observation, has been at tended with complete success. “ U you have an unruly milker, never abuse her. If she is young, make a pen just large enough to admit the animal and the milker; put her in and secure her by stretching a chain, or an inch rope across it, behind her. Take another chain or rope of suitable size, and from twelve to fifteen feet in length and fasten one end of it to a post behind the animal, and very nearly its length distant from her, securing the other end to her leg, just above the foot, draw ing it back into the position in which it is na turally placed when she is milked. This done you can seat yourself, and milk without trou ble.” ft is not unfrequenlly the case that val uable animals are utterly ruined by thrashing and beating, whereas they should be kindly and gently treated, and soothed rather than ex asperated.—Gcrmantoicn Telegraph. Green Pea Soup.— Dried peas, either for soup or for eating whole, soaked until they be gin to vegetate, say about two days, will taste nearly as well as when green.— American Agri culturist. ——gUlM—llll !■———WimM'Mg’lW’t 1H» Special Notices.

Even after the Liver has become much enlarged and tender up on pressure, it is in a few weeks restored to its natu ral size, soreness and pain in the side relieved, with such general improvement as denotes returning health.

If the vitalizing fluid which pervades every tissue, every membrane, fibre, filament, gland, or other organ, primary or subsidiary ; if the blood be charged with the element of disease, sickness must be the consequence —and until the causes of diseases existing in the blood are eradicated, no permanent relief can be expected. It is here that the powerful health-restoring properties of Sands’ Sarsaparilla are manifested ; itssearchingoperation reachesthe causes I of disease, and the cures it performs are therefore radical and thorough. Its potential virtues are attest ed by thousands of rheumatic and scrofulous patients, and by all who have taken this preparation for dis eases of the skin. It at once arrests the internal de rangement and eradicates the outward evidences of 1 disease. Price $1 per bottle. For sale, wholesale and retail by A. B. &D.

Cotton —The market during the week has been rather quiet with moderate operations, as parties seem ed generally disposed to aw r ait the receipt of the news by the Washington. The prices of last w< ek have been fully maintained, and we quote fair in square bales at 11* cents. Corn —The market has been in a depressed condi tion, and sales have been made at 50 cents, sacks in cluded. The Hirer, in consequence of the recent heavy rains, rose on Sunday fifteen to twenty feet, and is now slowly receding to a good beatable river. Extract from a letter received by the Washington. Ll\ ERPOOL, July 9.—The trade having been considerable purchasers for some weeks past, their operations throughout the present one have been on a more confined scale, and as the quantity of Cotton offering has been fully equal to the demand, occasion al sales have been made at a slight redaction. The general position of the market is, however, firm, and holders are confident of improvement. The weather continues so favorable as to increase the feeling rather than otherwise, and, though money is still dear, there is no difficulty in obtaining it, so that, in addition to the business transacted by the trade and for export, there is something done almost daily on speculation. In long stapled Cotton, whether Egyptian or Brazil, prices are rather upon the advance, but Surats are somewhat lower than the last week’s quotations. The sales this week (with 4000 bales to-day and a quiet market) amount to 32,270 bags, including 7500 American, 100 Maranham, 370 Egyptian and 2700 Surat on speculation, and 1750 American and 300 Surat for export. The quotations, according to the standard now adopted by the Brokers’ Association, are: fair Uplands 7}d., fair xMobiles 7}d., and fair Orleans 7}d. per lb. The import of the week is 15,499 bales, exclusive of four vessels arrived but not reported. NEW YORK, July 31, 2 l\ M.~Exchange .

The Cotton market this morning closes with more firmness, and thus far about 1000 bales have been dis posed of at about our quotations. Since the departure of the steamer of the 16th inst., the sales have amounted to 22,700 bales, of which 11,950 were Upland and Florida, and 10,750 Mobile and New Orleans. The arrivals for the same period were 12,973 bales. As fur prices, the quotations above are from } a £ of a cent per pound higher than those current at the sailing of the previous steamer. CHARLESTON, August 3.—Cotton—The Up land market on Saturday remained perfectly quiet.
