The following remarks lrom the Philadelphia Bui- 1 letinjwe publish without endorsement. We agree j with the writer in his preference of simplicity over os- j tentation, but we cannot fully subscribe to his views, which we think are rather ultra; at least in expres- j sion. We feel a delicacy too, in Intruding our re marks upon the gentler sex, who as a general rule, are not tar wrong in their notions of what is, and is j not bosoming. Wo have always thought however, ■ that beauty must be of a high order, to bear the radi. j ance of many brilliants, and painful contrast is too , often the only object upon which their light shines. We publish it, as much as any thing else, because we know the ladies will rend it; if they don’t agree* let them have their “ own sweet will’’say we, “ A correspondent of the New York Tribune wri ting lrom Newport. It. I. very properly censures the * practice in which he says the ladies there indulge, of i wearing enormous diamond ring# at morningcalis or j on the otjcasiou of evening parties. Newport, we fear, is not the only place where this fashion is car ried to exce**. Os lute years the wearing of jewel :ery in season and out of season, both by matrons and unmarried females, has increased vastly in the United States. It is an indication that the growing wealth of the people is not accompanied by a corresponding refinement; but that the love of vulgar show, the low pride of ostentation takes the place of a pure and elevated taste. If a gentleman of the old school were to come to life, and visit the opera on a bene fit night, or be present at a fashionable party, he would think he had strayed among pawnbroker’s , wives and daughters, until lie was informed of the truth. The emulation with fashionable dames now a days, so tar from being, as wore the Spartan wo men. to excel each other in houses hold virtues, is to wear the largest diamonds. And in this ambition they forget fitness, beauty, taste, everything but the mere vulgar desire to shine. To be graceiully and elegantly attired, in short, is secondary to the de sire to be a sort of jewellers walking show-card. Wo do not oppose the use of diamonds and pearls altogether, as some persons might imagine from the remarks. A few diamonds, judiciously worn, look well, on proper occasions, on married women. But young girls rarely, oriMcr improve their ap pearance by the use of tho||Mitzziiug jewels ; and, as a general rule, the simpjffrliie costume of a wo man in her teens the better.—American females are usually pretty, up to the aye ol twenty, when they mostly begin to fade. Consequently* at this period of life, there whom elaborate nt ure does not jnjure; a .simple white dress, or a rose bud in the huh, is frequently all that is required; and more only spoils that combination ol youtfiful ue9B, grace and modesty, which it should be the highest ambition of the girl to attain, because, if she did but know it, it as her highest charm. Instead of this, however, we see gay females, scarcely freed lrom the nursey, wearing enormous jewelled ear drops, or sporting on the finger a diamond ring as large as a quarter of a dollar. Sometimes, too, la dies pretending to be well-bred *deseend to receive inoruimi visitors ol their own sex, glittering, like a jeweller’s case, with all sorts of costily gems. In all this, we repeat, there is neither refinement, nor elegance, but simply vulgar ostentation. Female dress has ceased to Do a means of beautifying the person, or displaying the wearer's taste, and has be come instead a mere brag of the husband’s or father's wealth. We are tick of the low bred fashion. .Sir William Joliiimoii. The following spirited sketch of one ol the most celebrated European characters that figure in the Indian history ot New York, is from a recent “ His tory of the Conspiracy of Potinac,” by Francis I* ark man, Jr.— Albany Knickerbocker. About the year 1734, in consequence, it is said, of the unhappy issue of a love afiair, William John son, a young Irishman, came over to America at the age ol nineteen, where he assumed the charge of an extensive tract A wild land, in the province of New York, belong to his uncle, Admiral Sir Peter War ren. Settling in the valley of the Mokawk, he car ried on a prosperous trallic with the Indians; and while he rapidly rose to wealth, lie gained at the same time an extraordinary intluence over the neighboring Iroquois. As his resource increased, he built two mansions in the valley, known respect ively by the names of Johnson Castle and Johnson llall, the latter of which a well constructed build ing of wood and stone, is still stnnding in the village of Johnstown. Johnson Castle was situated at some distance up the river. Both were fortified against attack, and the latter was surrounded with cab ins built tor the reception of Indians,who often came in crowd* tovistthe pi oprietor invading his dwelling at all unseasonable hours, loitering in the doorways spreading their blankets in the passages, and infect ing the air with the fume ot stale tobacco. Johnson supplied the placed’ his former love by a young Dutch damsel who bore him several chil dren ; and in justice to the latter, he married her on her death bed. Soon after he found another favor ite in the person of Molly Brant, sister of the cele brated Mohawk war chief, whose black eyes and laughing face caught iiis fancy, ns Buttering with ribbons siie galloped past him at a muster ol the Ty ron County militia. Johnson's importance became so conspicuous.that when the French war broke out in 17.3.3, he was made a major general ; and soon after, the colonial troops under his command gained the battle ot Lake George against the French forces ot Baron Dieskau. lor this success, for which, however, the commander was entitled to little credit, he was ra s ed to the rank of baronet and rewarded with the gift of five thousand pounds from the king. About this time he was appointed superintendent of Indian afl'airs for the northern tribes, a station in which he did signal service to the country. In 1759, when General Piideaux was killed by ttie bursting of a cannon in the trench belore Niagara, Johnson suc ceeded to his command, routed the French in another pitched battle, and soon raised the red cross ol England on the conquered rampart of the fort. Atter the peace ol 17ti3. he lived for many years at Johnsons Hall constantly enriched t>y tne increasing value of his estate, and surrounded by a hardy High land tenantry,devoted to his imterests; but when the tempest which had long been drawing near seemed about to breakpuid signs of a speedy rupture with the mother country thickened with every day, lie stood wavering in an agony ot indecision divided between his loyalty to the sovereign who was the source of ail his honors, reluctant to become an agent of a murderous Indian warfare against his countrymen and friends. His final resolution wus never taken.— lu the summer f 17G4, he was attacked with a sud den illness, and died within a few hours, in the six tieth year of his age, hurried to the graveby mental distress, or, as many belie ed, by the act of his own hand. Nature had well fitted him lor tin position in which his prcpitious stars hud cast his lot. His person was tall, eit-ct and strong; his features grave and manly, Hisdireet and upright dealings,hiscourage,eloquence and address, were sUre p iss-ports to lavor in Indian eyes. He hada s'ngulur facility of adaptation. In the cainp or at the council board, in spite of his de fective \ (iuciitiuii, he bore liimsuitdis became his po sition; but at home he was seen drinking flip aud aceo with tin- Dutch boors,nis neighbors, talking ot improv. meats or the price of beuver skins and in the linlian villages be would least on dog’s flesh, talk with the warriors, ana hamngue ins at tentive >iuditors with ail the dignity of an Iroquois sachem. Distemper was genial; he encouraged rus tic port, and was respected and belved alike by whites ftud.iudians! His good qualities, however, wi re al. wnli serious defects. liis mind was a coarse as it was vigorous. He was vain of his milk and influence ami being quite free from any sci uple of delicacy, he lost no < pp. minify of herald ing mem.

We saw uuo yestoaday completely dislocated and torn j limb from limb. We do not know how severe the treatment was which produced this effect, but we think it must have been rude indeed. Several settees are cracked here and there, but the one to which we refer is completely dismantled, the screws having failed to do thtirdnty. Query—when those settees get rusty, would it improve a line silk to set there on —how also would it be with coat tails We shall E3TJ“ our notice of the street-crossings onThurs ; day, we omitted anew and prominent feature which had nut then presented itself; the novelty may be 9ecn near the intersection of Burnard and South Broad-streets, (where Barnard conies in lrom the South) in the uptown crossing. It is anew species of stieet-obstecle, nor do we know iu what genus to place it—it is to pedestrians, what an upturned rail is to a car, a sort of “ snake-head”; and while it remains in its presentcondition, it may be considered a good friend to cobblers, and the disciples of Crispin- One end of the plank to which we a lude has dis dained the ground and aspires to tiie height of some four or fivo inches. Any grm’h “nan desiring a sore toe, or any lady who is not exactly pleased with her last new bootees, and is in want of a plea for anew pair, may’ obtain the object of their wishes at short notice. They have but to stroll carelessly over the crossing in question and the thing is done. In our evening-walk yesterday we saw an urchin make a sudden pause just after passing the ana ke-head,clap his hand to his foot, in evident haste, and we conjec tured from thenoise that followed these operations that he had lost a nail, a toe, or something of that sort, though we cannot affirm it. This thing should b a put down. £jgpThe following bitter commentary upon the Newspaper credit system, is taken from the Nation al Intelligencer of the lOih inst. It is notin this regard however, that we call attention to it It reads as follows : “ It may be interesting to our readers in the South to know that the ‘ Southern Press,’ hitherto pub lished daily in this city, has ceased to exist. It breathed its last yesterday in a plaintive valedictory, from which we learn that its untimely end is to be attributed to the failure of its friends to contribute to its support as promised, or even to pay up the sums due upon their subscriptions.” Hud such a thing as this come lrom many papers we could name, we should not have noticed it—but it is beneath the dignity of the National Intelligencer. It manifests a cowardly spirit, a dastardly revenge, and a despicable meanness. The laws of honor for bid the striking of a fallen foe, and common humani ty would check the desecrating hand at the grave of the fiercest enemy. You may talk about the corrup tions of wealth, and the ruinous work of the bottle, and the blighting influences of bud associates, but if you wish to degrade a man from his high estate, and sink him into the brute, give him party-spirit with license. We remember the time when the Intelli gencer would sooner have stooped to highway rob bery than to such craven conduct as this. We never read the Southern Press ; we only know it wns an ultra Southern paper—we believe it has done some harm and some good, but in this matter it claims more of our sympathy and respect than the Intelli gencer ever can. Ol lempora l O l mores'. igs* The American Association, for the advance, ment ot education was to meet at Newai k, N. J., on the 10th. Bishop Potter is President, and among its members are to be found the names of the first men in the country. The history of the association is as follows from the Public Ledger, Philadelphia. “ This association held its first meeting in Philadel phiain 1849. It was composed of gentlemen from, different parts of the United States, and from the British Provinces. A resolution was then adopted that a permanent Association for the advancement of Education should bejorgani/.ed and that meetings should be held annually in different part of North America. The Convention assembled a second time in Philadelphia, on the 26th of August. 1850, and was adopted, o and officers Were duly appointed. The tli ii and session of the Convention began in Cleveland.

We shall see, when the book comes* and if it is a ‘spec,” we shall not increase the sale of it knowingly. In the outset wc regretted t o see its announcement—silent contempt is a poor subterfuge we know in some cases —dull wits often get behind it when they have nothing more to say, but in the present matter we would consider it the very best answer that could be made to Miss Stowe. Her book has fulfilled its manifest destiny, (filling fi ll her pockets) and we had hoped it would be left to the ravages of time, and inevitable deeay to get its an swer. But more anon—if the book is worthy or worthless, we shall say so. T. B. Macauley has been elected to the Brit ish Parliament from Edinburgh.

The Speaking Telegraph.— A Mr. Matthew has applied to the City Council of Cincinnati for leave to erect posts in that city to sustain a tube of gutta percha, through which to send messages by word of mouth. Itiscoutemplated to extend the line to the different cities of the Union. We have long thought this a feasible mode of telegraphing, and a day or two siuce intended to invite the discussion of the subject in our columns. The human voice can be, heard at a great distance when conveyed by a good conductor. Whispering galleries are proofs of this and the ease with which persons converse across a rfver is another. In the open air. unprovided with anunusual conductor it maybe heard at some distance, though illimitable space soon exhausts its vibrations Now, 1 suppose the immense volume of a*r through which these vibrations are felt anil are distinguisha able, could be drawn out into a tube of half an inch in diameter, would not that tube be long enough for all practical purposes? We believe that it would.— The only opportunity we have ever had of testing T was through a J inch metal tube, 115 feet long. I* was coiled up; and the faintest scratch of a pin could he heard by applying the car to the opposite end o 1 the tube, though it was not heard by the bystanders at the end whence the sound proceeded. It really seemed to us that the sound was increased the far ther it travelled. The only satisfactory test (if this question is actual experiment. We hope it will soon be solved, but in the meantime we should be happy to hear from cither side of the question in a com mu . nicationfor the Journal. A London Company has been formed to estab lish a line of first class steamers between England and Calcutta via Cape of Good Hope.

That’s the way to build ruil roads, aud we hope the Savan nah Ladies wiil show those of Aberdeen, that there are some kindred spirits in this section. $300,000 was the amount made up before the meeting closed.

Language cannot tell how, as a child and sister, in the sweet circle of home, she tenderly touched trio strings ot love by htr gentle manners, her kind at tentions, her rich and warm affections. She seemed to be a guidin<Mtar of happiness in that domestic circle now so de-.ply afflicted by her irreparable loss . Ah ! none can row she will be* missed in that home ol which no Was so dear a member. Gener ous and noble-hearted, gitted andgn ctfulshe adorn ed lilt* by her bright and useful example. But alas ! this lovely flower has faded from our sight and now sleeps in the silence and riantness of toe grave. But it is n glorious consolation to her relatives and iriends to know that she was not afraid to die, and to believe, from her declarations of love for, an doom fideuce and trust in her , God and Saviour, that she is now a sweet angei in Heaven, Thus she resigned her life and spirit alter along and painful illness of six months, which she bore without a murmur. A short time before she became too wtak to leave her bud, she seated h. rsolfattlio piano and played the aii of “Then you 11 remember no ‘ Never will those present forget the ca’*n, lovely expression v.f. her pale face, and the soft and gentle touch of the in strument with her beautiful and attenuated fingers. She had a meaning in the selection ol that song. And now, dear Angel Spirit, in saying farewell tfll we shall join thee, as we hope, never more to sepa rate. in the morning and in the evening hour, while memory lasts, those for whom you meant it, fondly respond :—We 11 remember thee—-we’ll remember thee.” ***.
