Oct 27. 30 tde , MISCELLANY. A S.-f’nn in u Gtiinhling Ilousr. The following very remarkable circum stance ia voucheu for by Green, the reformed gambler, which we condense from his romance attached, that in manner relieves it of the 1 horror excited by the catastrophe, it occurred at New Orleans some years ago. A sen captain was in the habit of frequent ing a llonletfe Table, kept hy a Frenchman in company wit! i pnrtyo! u.c.iidere. Green remarks that they played with more regard to tininess then, than f customary or general with them now. The Captain was evidently influenced in hi.s visits more hy a wish to kill time than from any passion lor the sport — He had visited the room frequently, and his variable bet was twenty-five cents and winner or loser, he never increased it. He visited the place on the night in question. The sea captain having placed his bet upon the red. sat with his head leaning on his hand, us it in a wait the result of the game. The hall ti ll into the column, and he was ti e win- < ner. The wheel was started again, but tHe Captain did not move, and, contrary to his usual practice, the amount of the net was doubled. He won the second, third, fourth, and filth, the sum doubling each time. Thus it went on to the eighth tune, when the gam blers began to he excited, and uttering loud curses, exclaimed—‘He wins again !’ At this, many who were in the room gathered around the table. The result of the ninth and tenth being the same, one of them cried out —He is a fool why don’t he make sure of what he has won.’ The eleventh, t. 11 th and thirteenth brought the same result, and many exclaim ed—'He is mad.’ But the game went on and the Captain continued headless. The Ibur tcentii was in his favor. At the fifteenth, thousands were at stake, from the small be ginnings of twenty-five cents, and till eyes seemed fixed in amazement. Still he wo i.— The sixteenth was the same. The bankers vociferated curses upon the wheel player.— Others urged the Captain to withdraw at least a part of his winnings. Sixteen thou sand dollars was at stake lor the seventeenth. | The ball flew like lightning, but there was no change. The money was piled up before the Captain in heavy hank notes, but lie mov 'd not a finger nor uttered a word. At this junction, a husky voice, ia seaman’s phrase was heard—'Haul in. old Captain ! you don’t bet all that pile against this set of land pi- rates ! ‘haul in!’ and a hand was stretched forth from one nt the table grasping the mon ey and depositing in a hat. 1; was the first mate of the Captain’s vessel. Having thus 1 secured the money, lie seized the. Captain by j the shoulder, saying—Come you have full | cargo, it’s time to hoist sail.’—when, horrible I >o relate, the corpse of the Captain It'll against him. —He had been sitting with his head u|xm ids hand throughout all this exciting scene; i having died while in the act of I etting his first I quarter. The mate called for water and dashed it iu his face ; then lor spirits ; but all efforts to resuscitate him were m vain. Lite was extinct. | Green goes on to detail the result. The gamblers then demandt and that the motl ey should be refunded; but the mate had loll ed it up in a handkerchief, put it into the hand ot a cabin-boy. and told him to run witii it iiir | his life to the ship and delivei it to the clerk, j and summon the crew to the gambling house! ! l'he tumult and confusion were so great that J I the boy slipped away unnoticed. When the corpse was laid on the plunk, the i ; gamblers again demanded the money of the j mate, stating, that ns the captain had an- | Idoubtedly died betting the first quarter, jus- | ! tice required that it should be returned to the ] bankers. The mate, in a tone of defiance, j \ replied thut the orphan children of the Cnp | tain needed the money, and should have it.— I Force was then threatened it’ he rei'u.io.t tn j deliver it up. Seeing that their threats were unheeded, they rushed iijsin him with violence, seized his hat, and bore it oil! supposing tliey hnd thus secured the money ; but to tbeir sur prise the hut was empty. A large number who were present took the part ol tin mate, and great excitement prevailed throughout uic house. An assault \v. .. male u, rathe mate. &ouic cried one tiling, and sonic a.ratti er. ‘Down with him !’ ‘Get the money !’ Let him alone !’ ‘You have no right to roll him!’ —mingled with oaths, imprecations and curst s. At this moment twenty or thirty of the ship’s crew rushed in. and one word trom 1 the mate brought them to his rescue, and the I gamblers were soon made to stand at a dis tancc. Something was said respecting the I money which led the sailors to suppose that the mate had been robbed, and they were j about rushing upon Milntievr lirarnpin , as the proper, person to indemnify him liir any I loss he might have sustained ; but wi re dt ! verted by ttie entrance of some twenty of the rity watch, armed with short swords. The I sailors knew tile character ol’ this posse, made lup of what were called among them i curf rut I'renchmen,’ and were no more daunted by their array of three, than they would have i been by the display of tin swords iu the hands of s i many trained monkeys. A fracas was. however, prevented between the sailors, mid the watch, by the assurance of the mate that the money was sate, and a request from ldm that they would quietly return lo the vessel. He propositi to take the corpse on board, but was informed by the Captain of the watch, that a coroner’s inquest must be held over it before it could be removed. 11* then seated himself hy the corpse of his Captain, to watch over it during the rest of the night; and the gamblers returned to the common works of darkness, pluying cards and drinking liquor, meanwhile, now and then uttering curses upon the dead hotly ol’ the Captain. Itailways ntnl tlieir Hull) Opponents The following paragraph, which w’e find in die London Milling Journal, of August 7th, is so truth-like, that we give it a place, with the simple observation, that the same remarks I are equally applicable at the present tiny: Wlien Jacquard the invento- of the won- I derful loom that bears his i>',mc, was arrested ! and curried to Paris, wiVnliis machine, Car not, in the presence of Napoleon, roughly said to him, “ ore you the man that pretends to do'timt impossibility, tie a knot in it stretched I string /” ri is compatriots of Lyons the im possibility being surmounted, broke Ins ma chine* in 1800, and raised a statue to bis mem- 1 ory iu 1840. All those who lire iu advance of | public opinion must bear ridicule or persecu- ! tioii. in 1825 tlie Quarterly Review liiu* j ridicul’ and the notion ot cerUtin engineers, Tel- : ford among the rest, that a mil way engine j could go lb or 20 miles an hour: “The gross J exaggerations of the locomotive steam engine ! or to speak Kiigl.sli, the stcuiu carriage, tuny delude lor it tinu , hut must end in the mortifica tion of tliosc eomennd. * ♦ Wc should | soon expect the people of Woolwich to ufler , themselves to be fired off upon one of Con greve’s rockets, ns trust themselves to the mercy of such a machine, going at such a rate.’’ Iu that year, the common belief wits, that railways were altogether delusion mid and impositions. The Liverpool and Mnn ehi’Hter railway was npposod in Parliament with every torin of invective. One member, in 18545, tf*elured Ms c| ,ion thut u railway ! could not filter into successful coiiqiftittoM with a canal. Kven with the best locomotive i engine, the average rate would be but three and a null’miles per hour, which wna slower llinn the cmiul conveyance. (Huiisurd, 2d i series, vol. iv, p. 853.) Another insertion, , which Mr. Huskissou was obliged to meet : doubtfully end apologetically, was “ thut | there were two or three canals, which were VOL. XXV.—No 33. suficient for every purpose of commerce f t tie districts through which railways wt r.- t pass.” Let us be just to what we hav bm- , accustomed to decry as the dark stge I, t u be tolerant to those who imprisoned G ileo and rewarded Columbus with chains, if there be a reality in any discovery—a f ti thing and not a sham—if there be slrengdi or utility, or beauty in any work of mind—it will live and fructiny, whatever critics, or ora tors, or inquisitors, or even kings may do to crush it. And so it is with railway-. On the I 15th September 183d the first passenger line j —the Liverpool and Manchester railway u , opened. The conveyance of passenger* pears originally to have been an inferior ion snleration to the conveyance of goods; and the directors modestly anticipated that one-halfof the passengers travelling by coaches between the two towns might venture on the railway. I In flic first year alter the opening, there were conveyed 445.060 passengers; in the year end ! ing, Ist July. 1843, the passengers so convey ed amounted to 827,000. On the 21th April. 1847. there bus been a total expenditure o.i the railways of the United Kingdom of £73- 000.000 sterling ; and in the last week, the ag gregate receipt upon these railways was £l6O 000, being a total exceeding £8.000.001 jer annum for the conveyance of passengers and goods. To lCstiinnte Corn in Hulk. It may sometimes be useful to know how to estimate the amount of corn in grain, co: luin ed m hmtili or storehouse, while it is st. r the ear, and we therefore give a eta trim t - latmg to this subject which appeared m ;. agricultural paper at the south. - The following rule tor ascertaining th quantity of shelled corn in a house ol melisions is by William Murray < Souih Carolina, and was read bciu.e 1.1 c John's Colic ton Agricultural So. iety u . communicated by them lor publication in t.., Southern Agriculturist.— *• Rule.— Having previously levelled the corn in the house, so that it will be of equal depth throughout, ascertain the length, breadth and depth of tile bulk; multiply these dimensions together, and their product by 4, then cut oil one figure Irom the right of this product. This will give you so many bushels and a decimal of n bushel of shelled corn. If it be required to find the quantity of eared corn substitute 8 lor 4, and cut on one figure as belore. •• Example: In a bulk of corn in the ear. 12 feet long, 11 feet broad, and 6 feet deep, there w '!! he Jib bushels and 8-10ths of a bushel of shelled corn or 633 bushels and t-10thsof ear corn ;as 12 X 11 310-8 or 12 X 11= 133 X 6 = 723 X 3 =633,6. The decimal 4 is used when the object is to find the quantity of shelled corn, because that decimal is one-half the decimal 8. and it re quires two bushels of ear corn to make one | bushel ol shelled corn. In using these rules ball a bushel may be added lore very hundred; that amount of ears results from the subi-iitu tion of the decimals. The term barrel r. corn,’ so much used by southerners incurs five bushels ol shelled corn.”— Gleaner.

(imnl Butter. ‘‘l* your butter good ! said 1 to a farmer. ‘■Good! my wile has made butter these twenty years, and I should think she ought to know how to make good hotter by this time.” He was evidently otiended. *• Well, let us examine it. The couer wrs taken oil the tub ; the clean white cloth (which had been wet in brine) rolled up the yn.ow treasure revealed. It certainly diu look pood. “It tusti - sweet, but how very salt it n.” ” VVc iiave always made our butter suit to have it keep at this season.” ■‘Let us see if the buttermilk is all w.l! worked out as the salt is in.” Some of the rolls were pressed down wish the ladle. ‘ Now, my friend, if your wife Ims mode butter these twenty years, she does not knot■■ how to make it good; tor no butttr ten li • gaud until the buttermilk is worked out 1 this is done, you need not salt it so much t keep well in any place. Avery little c.n and labor would have made this butter < xei ;- lent; but lacking that little, it is only u s - quality, as you shall acknowledge wi.e i I show you a sample of good butter.” Y\ e went in. and I took up a roll from a crock of first rate butter. It was smooth, clear, nnel handsome ; the hand of woman had not been on it from the time it had left the churn until now—all the work had been done with the ladle. “If you will get a drop of buttermilk from that butter you shall have the whole free.— Now t aste this mid your own ; if vou would not give a higher price lor this thun your own. Look at it; see how clear and transpa rent these minute globules are and how inti mately blended with the mass. Until all these disappear, the butter will not keep long, when, they are so slightly colored by the I milk.” ‘l'lie farmer simply remarked that there was I a ili(h rein c in all butter, and le!\ me to find a less criticul customer. It is strange tliut when every body loves good butter, and is willing to pay fur it, our I I armors’ wives and daughters do uot tuki : poins to make a bcttei article. It is the limit of the women gencmlly. that we have poor butter, uiid we shall hold them responsible. 1 t It is perfectly easy to make good buitcr.—- | The only tiling requisite is care. Good hut tcr will always eouimand u good price in the dullest market, while jioor butler is u d.ug at ! any price. ’A lien any of our lady readers make butt r j again, iust let them imagine that I mu to „uvo ! 1 nice bit of bread and butti r with tl t m aid that I shall detect the least particle of nu k, and that 1 am not fond of too much 5.....
