Noiseless Carriage Wheels and horse-Shues. — in the Mining Journal of July 22, IS4B, we noticed the introduction of some improvements in the construction of wheels for carriages, by Mr. Andrew Smith, tiie patentee of the wire rope machinery, which were likely to prove of much value to the public as not only adding • greatly t > comfort in travelling over paved ■ streets, from their being perfectly noiseles but from their combining a much greater dc -1 i s ree of safety. The principle consists in form iug the hoop or i\re of two separate layers of . galvanized iron, which are riveted together, and re-galvaniscd in the mass ; this division of parts cutting off all vibration when travel ling over the roughest stones. Mr. Andrew Smith has also applied the principle to springs, in which each plate is galvanised se parately, and never rust. The axle is so made I to fit tiie axle b <x with perfect exactness, by a i lining of fusible metal, is itself lubricating, | and not liable to heat; tiie whole in conjnnc | tion secures a degree of quiet, ease and safety j hitherto urnitained. We have been led again to notice these ingenious improvements, from ; the fact that the patentee having produced a noiseless carriage, found that the horses’ feet made more noise than ever, and seeking fur a remedy, has applied the principle to the hor ses shoe. This is effected in the moat simple manner, by making the shoes in two thicknes ses of galvanised metal, then riveting them together, and re-galvanising. A horse equip ped in these pumps trots over the granite streets of London as softly as if lie was on a bowling green. — Land. Mm. Jouni. I Oun Hep Brothers —A delegation of nine Indian chiefs has arrived in Washifigtou City, and are staying at King’s Hotel. They rep resent the Menomonee tribe, from Northwes •j tern Wisconsin, aud are dressed in showy in j dian costume, with their long black hair hang ing loosely over their shoulders. They are i accompanied by Wm. fl Bruce. Indian sub i agent ; Mr. Powell interpreter ; F. J Braduel ! pastor and superintendent of tne nation, and j two or three attaches, making quite a train, al most as imposing as that of the Emperor of i Hayti. The Menomonee tribe number come two thousand two hundred, five hundred of whom are being educated and christianized, and have acquired some knowledge of agricul- I tore. They have two schools permanently es i tahiished, with fourteen or fifteen boys and • as many girls that can read and write the En glish language correctly. They have quite a j number of goon mechanics among them, and the whole tribe are engaged to some extent in cultivating the soil. Tim delegation have some business to transact with the Govern ment, and wish to visit the "Great Councils of tiie Nation,” and have a long talk with their pale chief of the big cabin. Oshkosh, the principal chief of the tribe, is among them. Southwest ani> Arkansas Mining Compa nt — The Little Rock Gazette says that tint mines of this company near that city, canci nue lo prove extremely rich in the argentifer ; ous lead ore Since May last, upwards of 150,000 pounds of mineral has been raised, most ot which have been prepared arid sent for j war,i to market. Tiie mining operations will , lor the present, be confined more immediately ! to sinking the main shaft at the diggings, i (which is now ninety feet,)through the black i i slate which is found at this depth. It is the , ; determination of the company to increase the i 1 force now engaged at the mines, and vigorous ■ | y to prosecute the work. During the pre vious week, another very extensive vein of , mineral had been discovered at the lead mines, which promises to remunerate the proprietors liberally for all outlays.

The Federal Union, of Tuesday, contains the following announcement: (i yy e ure authorized tostale, tiial one of the contin gencies having occurred designated by the lust Le gislature, upon which the Executive was directed to call a Convention, io wit: the admission by Congress of California us a Stale into the Union, that (hat Con vention will be called. An authentic copy of (lie act admitting California has not yet reached this place.” There is, therefore, no longer any doubt of the present purpose ol Governor Towns to cal! the Convention, and that it will certainly be called unless the Governor backs out, which we hope will not be the case. The last Legis lature succeeded, as far as it could, in placing the Slate in a false position, and wo are glad of the opportunity that a Convention will afford of reinstating her fairly and properly before the country. In view of the fact that the Con vention will be called, and the question of Union or Disunion fairly presented before the people of the Siale, it behooves the friends of the Union, the advocates of law and order, to buckle on their armor promptly, and rear high tneir standard unfurl tho stars and stripes and rally under their ample folds, determined to perpe tuate the institutions of our fathers.

Jenny Lino’s Second Concert. —The se | com! Concert of Jenny Lind, at New Y ork on | Friday night, was completely triumphant. ; The lonise was crowded, the number present being upwards of seven thousand. The Tri bune thus notices the performance : The audience did not gather so early by an hour as on Wednesday night, tho admirable arrangements outside and inside obviating the necessity of taking the seats two hours iu ad vance The crowd about the outer gate was very small, and no disturbance of any kind occurred. Carriages did not enter the battery grounds, as on the former occasion, and much trouble was avoided in consequence. Inside, ' there was quite a rush to take possession of the | forfeited scats, when 8 o'clock arrived. The movement was too soon, however ; and a j number who arrived two or three minute* bc i fore the hour, claimed their places. One of the ushers then announced that holders of tick ets would retain their right to the seats till the close of the first overture, and those who had taken them would be obliged to give way. But it was too late fur that night. 'The plan is a good one, nevertheless, and should be adopted for succeeding concerts. The C nncert was a repetition of the first, | with the only difference that the orchestra vol unteered the “Wedding March,” from Men delssohn’s “Midsummer’s Night’s Dream.” whose short, crackling blaze of harmony re ceived lull justice from the sure and well tem pered brass instruments. Weber’s overture to “Oberon” was finely rendered, and tiie composition is as fine a specimen of musical fairy land as could be found before young Mendelssohn dreamed Shakspeare’a dream over iu his own way. The piano-forte duett, by Messrs, benedict and Hoffmann, consisting of “variations by Thalberg,” which we forgot to mention last time, was a skillful thing in its way, but quite unsuited to that place and audi ence. Iu Jenny Lind, we still feel that it is not easy to separate the singer Irom the person. She sings herself. She does not, like many skilful vocalists, merely recite her musical studies, and dazzle you with splendid feats unnatural ly acquired ; her singing, through all her ver satile range of parts and styles, is her own pro per and spontaneous activity—integral, and whole. Her magnificent voice, always true and firm, and as far beyond any instrument as humanity is beyond nature, seems like the au dible beauty ol her nature and her character That she is an artist in the highest sense is a question long since settled, and any little inci dental variation from the bold and perfect out line of success in any special effort, as the fal tering ofher voice from natural embarrassment in the commencing of Casta Diva that first night, could not to a true listener at ail impede the recognition of the wonderful art which could afford a little to humanity on so trying an occasion. For she was as it were begin- i lung her career anew; literally to her was tins j i a new world ; and she felt for a moment as if in her fiist blushing maidenhood of song. This second time the hesitation of the voice iu that commencement was not felt. The note began soft and timid but scarce audible, a* the prayer of Norma might have done; but how it gradually swelled with the influx of divine strength into the soul ! The grand difficulty in the opening andante movement of Casta Diva lies in its broad, sustained phrasing, in | the long, generous undulation of its rythm, ' which with most singers drags or gets broken' out of symmetry. Jenny Lind conceived : and did it truly, The impassioned ener-y of the loud pleading syncopated cues m which the passage attains its climax ; the celestial purity and penetrating sweetness of thsi i iii miiu iiiimmißiiii mum n j i niTir~rTfTiinTrT^ afterward;the exquisite cadenza to the andante; and ihe inspiring eloquence of the Alle gro i Ahbelloa me ritorna, were far beyond anything we have had the fortune hitherto to hear. The Rossini duett with Belletti the flute echoes, the Greeting to America, and th« Swe dish Mountain Pastoral, especially the last, were nil received with the same irrepressible enthusi asm. They were all genuine parts in which an inexhaustible true fountain ol song in u large human heart gushed up and sparkled. No more tickets for Jenny Lind’s concerts are to be sold at auction- Tire seats hereafter are to be valued according to location. Those therefore, who desire to hear the “Nightingale, can get tickets from one dollar, upwards, here after. This arrangement is ordered in conse quence of the earnest wish expressed by Md lie Lind, to give all an opportunity of attending. Tho next Concert cornea off next Tuesday. Only four more are to he given at Castle Gar den, and then the “Ciueen of Song’ leaves for Boston. The next four concerts are as follows: Tuesday, September 17th, Thursday 19;h, Saturday ‘dial, Tuesday 24‘h. The dol lar tickets entitle the holder to admission, but without certainly as to seat For $2, good seats can be secured; $5, $lO, and so up, to secure the choicest places. The new arrange ment will be received with great pleasure by the public. Thousands will go to hear Jenny, for $2. who before felt unable in consequence of the price. From the New York Tribune The Moras of Failures. Probably very few who, living in the deca dence of Ancient Civilization, heard the almost unvarying story of barbarian inroads, the sack of cities, the demoralization of armies and the loss of provinces, were accustomed to regard these disasters as so many stages in the over throw of ancient polity and the complete trans formation of the political and social world. — Each reverse was doubtless regarded by the mass as deplorable indeed, but fortuitous — a step downward to be recovered—a disaster to be retrieved—much as tho directors ol a railway or canal now consider, after a dama ging storm or flood, what lime and outlay will be required to make all right again. But his tory had a different course and a different moral from those prefigured in their imagina tions. \W had a great failure of n fl >ur and grain house in our cil\' a few* days since—to the amount, it is said, of three millions —and on Saturday a small concern went down in the same line—its liabilities a mere flea bite —only about half a million. Whether there are more pears ripe and ready to drop we do not pro fess to know ; but failures, like weddings, have a tendency to ho epidemic These grain fail ures, be it observed, occur in the very hey day of Free Trade felicity, when Great Britain is taking our Breadstuff's without duty and we are taking her manufactures at the unprece dented rate of fifteen millions per month. — Her manufacturers art; flourishing, extending their works and boasting of the goodness of times —by every rule of Free Trade logic our flour ought to be bringing great prices, and our dealers iu and shippers of (lour realizing fortunes —but things don’t work so in practice, somehow. But that ia not the point. We hear of era barrassrnents among millers in Oswego in con sequence of these failures—of a probability that a good share of Suydam, Sago 4.V. Co.’s acceptances will be dishonored by the drawers (who have paid them once in Flour, and are ' now called on to pay idem again in Cash) on j the ground of Usury in the negotiation. We i believe the paper o f this firm was abundantly ( in tho market for several weeks (perhaps j months) before their failure at templing rates, j a>*d the devotees of Free Trade in money who j s. rid their funds here to be used in shaving ' notes were nibbling at it from all quarters. ! Os course, they were supplied, ami are likely ■ to stay supplied, unless they consent to dispose ' ol » at a slum :o winch even ;hr. e pci* cent a ; month is but a circumstance. Now it i? no purl cl our business to inquire whrtiier Uih bankrupt firm were honest or roguish, frugal or prodigal, capable or incom peleu!. That would be very unprofitable scru tiny, and not within the legitimate sphere of journalism. The point to which we would attract attention, is the whole course of busi- ! ness whereof this failure is a striking iilustra- 1 tion Why should Suydam, Sage &■ Co..have ; ovv* ! Three Millions of Dollars ? They were not properly (ws believe no? at all) manufac- ! Hirers m Flour; cousequeiifiy, had no call io in vest a large capital in flouring mills or other fixed property. They simply received Flour from the producers and forwarded it toward the consumers, often buying it and selling it on the way. Os course, any such operation ns buying beyond their means to hold in antici pation of a rise would be properly termed Gambling if men had not combined to call it Business. But Gambling is not a hermit’s vice The Flour manufacturer who sold them thousands of barrels on tiiei; sixty or ninety-day accep tances, because they would give more thus than lit; could obtain iu cash, was playing at the : same table ; l-e country bank, clergyman, farmer orspiuister. who, through a confiden tial broker in Wail street, was picking up these flour acceptances at the bill broker’s and hold ing them to mature, having obtained them at a shave of one to two per cent, a month—was not this innocent ihdividual risking his coin on the whereabouts of tho “little joker” as well a-? the drawer and acceptor of die paper? We j really can't see why not. If people don’t know that no legitimate j business will hear any such rate of interest j us is usually reckoned by tho month, it is i high time they found It out, even at a re- i spectable cost; and if they don’t know that j any firm, whose paper is abundantly and I steadily for sale in Wall street at such rates, j must ultimately fail, they will be very like- i |y to obtain that interesting information.— Os course, if a man choose to play the game, trusting to liis own shrewdness and dexterity to win by it. ho will not bo deterred by our re monstrances ; but if black happens to turn up j when his stake is on the red, we don't see how it can he helped, nor why any one but the ioser should cry about it The country has u any millions’ worth of Wheat, Flour, Pork, Beef, Wool, vStc., to sell to tho city, and wants their equivalent of the city in Cloths, Wares, Groceries, «fcc., &.C., and the exchanges are made The country contrives nearly always to be largely in debt to the city, which ought not to he ; but why, on the back of this, the city should also contrive ( to run in debt to the country, passes our com- ; prehension. Suppose ten millions’ worth of country produce come down the Hudson monthly, what should go hack for it f Good?, so far as they are needed—payment for the last years purchases, if not already paid lor; but surely not city promises to pay. Far better and safer is it that the country should carry home its own promises than ours. For Ohio, and Black Rock, and Lockport, aud Oswego, to sell New York their staples on credit, while everyone of them is deeply in debt, to New I York, is no true credit —much less is it deser- I ving the name of credit system —but is it ah- j surdity and gambling folly. Direct exchanges between producer and j consumer —or, more strictly, between the pro ducer of raw staples and the producer of fa brics —is the uitimite and absolute cure for the disorders aud disasters now so palpable—-but | the world is not yet ripe for these. But Ex- i changes for pay instead of promises—exchan- ■ ges of realities for realities—ought not now to be deemed impracticable nor futile. Credit is excellent, is indispensable; but credit should ! be given by the affluent to tho needy—by those who have ti» those who want —and it should al ways he based on an exchange of real values —not on vapor, A man who has two farms may very properly sell one worth two thou- j ISi TiJa 'iSlrmri I y** S6OO or even SIOO thereon, taking a mort-T’ gage on the farm for his security; and so with the shop and implements of a mechanic. But it is most absurd that A. B. should credit C. D. with no better security than a promise, merely because A. B. has something to sell which C. D. wishes to buy. This system of the manu facturer crediting the importer, the importer the i jobber, the jobber the retailer or country mer- I chant, and he in turn the farmer of mechanic, is one ofunmixed and fearful evil. Wo buy millions’ worth abroad which would be made at home but for the ability of the foreign and the inability of the American manufacturer to give credit ; the country mer chant buys too much, because he buys on cred it, and five thousand dollars seems a trifle with a long pay-day ; and the country farmer or mehanic buys more than he would, and pays more than he should, because he buys on cred it. Every few years this preversion of trade results in a break down, when a good propor tion oi the farms arid dwellings of our mer chants’ customers pass through the sheriffs’ hands into the merchants’, and thence to the usurers’, the jobbers’, and some virtually, if not palpably, to the foreigners, who already own (in the shape of bonds or stocks) half the Railroads and Canals in the country, and are likely to acquire the remainder, unless a radi cal change iu our course of trade is effected. Men and brethren ! think of these things ! Life in South Africa, A book, giving an account of five years of a hunter’s life in the far interior of South Af rica, has lately been published in London. It is the work ol'a sportsman, who seems to have exhausted the pastime of salmon fishing and roe stalking on the streams and in the woods of his native Scotland; and, in order to be ftioro free, to have chosen a region in Africa, far beyond the footsteos of civilized man, where he might collect hunting trophies and objects ofimorest in science and natural histo ry He says that he has succeeded to his heart’s desire. From a notice of the book in ihe London Observer, we select the following spirited passage : In his wanderings in South Africa, accom panied by wagons, teams of oxen, a goodly body oi expert natives, and horses to enable him to come up with wild animals, lie almost sleeps with his rifle in his hands. The des truction'.bat he perpetrates among the larger and rarer tribes of antelopes, koodos, paliahs, sassabys, zebras, buffaloes, giraffes,elands, cro codiles, hippopotami, rhinoceroses, ostriches, lions, ! onesses, leopards, wild boars and ele phants, is almost incredible. One parcel of ostriche feathers and elephants tusks, the re ward of his unerring eye and ever steady hand, fetched ul the Cape £1,000; his other trophies are now exhibiting in London, forming a South African museum, to be seen at the Chi nese Gallery. He shot single handed, no few er than one hundred elephants ! The num ber of lions, lionesses and leopards that fell ! victims to his double grooved and double-bar j relied rifle, is marvellous. Whether hidden in an artificial pit, within twenty yards of the i watering places of lions, whether in rapid mo tion on foot or on horseback, his aim is equally fatal. As a curiosity we will give, taken at random, the contents of one chapter : “A lion shot from my watching-hole at midnight—six lions drink close beside me—a lioness slain—a rhinoceros bites the dust—my shooting hole surrounded wiih game —paliahs, sarubrs. zebras, *fec. —a rhoozerheebok shot —my fiftieth elephant bag ged—struggle with a boa constrictor—Hons too numerous to be agreeable—five rhinoceroses ! shot as they came to drink—a venomous snake." Tiie two volumes contain thirty-three | chapters, and their contents are as interesting— I at least for those who afl'ect (he dangerous and i exciting sports, and not unfrequently cruel ones, of (be forest, desert and prairie—as those of the chapter cited, in slaughtering tiie fera naturae of Southern Africa, the author had many opportunities of observing their habits, aj.u on that point lias adduced much that was unknown to nsiural historians. II; lias also ! J.scov’erud more than one new species of quadruped, particularly of the antelope tr'.bu, We should hardly be justified in coticludiu* 1 this brief notice of these extraordinary volumes j without making an extrail from them, and the ! one we will give will bo, we think, interesting to the general reader, and afford a specimen i of the author’s sty le and peculiar taste : i ''One of the most striking things connected with the lion is his voice, which -s extremely | granJ and peculiarly striking. It consists at ; tunes of a low, deep moaning, repeated fi.9 I or six times, ending in faint audible sighs ; at O’her tunes he startles the forest widi loud, deep, solemn roars, repeated five or six limes I iu quick succession, each increasing in loud i ness to the third or fourth, when his voice dies away in (Le or six low. muffled sounds, ; very much resembling distant thunder. At limes, and not untrequenily, a troop may be heard roaring in concert, one assuming the lead and two, three or four more regularly taking up their parts, like persons singing a catch. Like our Scottish slags at the rutting season, they roar loudest iu cold, frosty nights; I but ou no occasion are their voices to be heard i»< such perfection, or so intensely powerful, as when two or three strange troops of lions appro ich a fountain to drink at the same lime When this occurs, every member of each troop sounds a bold roar of defiance at the op posito parties ; aud when one roars all roar together, aud each seems to vie with his com | rades iu the intensity and power his voice. I The power and grandeur of these nocturnal I forest concerts is inconceivably striking and pleasing to the hunter’s ear. The effect. J may remark, isgreudy enhanced when the hear er happens lo be situated in the depths of the forest, at the dead hour of midnight, unaccom- j panted by any attendant, and ensconced within i twenty yards of the fountain which the sur rounding troops of lions are approaching Such has been my situation many scores of times ; and though I am allowed to have a tolerably good taste for music, I con aider the catches with which I was then regaled as the sweetest and most natural 1 ever heard.” The receipti at the IJ.
