FRIDAY, .M/M; 10. City Improvements—A Couple of Sug gestion*. The spirit of city improvement, as manifest ed in the fillingup ofthe blanks about town,with handsome edifices, soetns to have roooived no check, despite the approach of tho hot months; those shrivel up the channels of trade. The impetuous tide of business, which riots as it runs, in tho winter—making itself heard in the rattle of drays, ari l the clatter of hoofs; and seou in the busy forms that hurry through the stroets, big with important missions, perplexed with entangling calculations, or hopeful with anticipated results, —this tide we say, is losing its wintry ardor, and will soon be dwindled iuto ft summer stroam, feebly murmuring as it runs. But the builders nro still busy as ever: so busy in fact, that, much to our regret, they do not pauso to consider, and reflect. They build ra pidly and handsomely, but do they build com fortably? Not so comfortably as they might. Wo do not wish now to recur to that reprehen sible practice of crowding four, five, six, and even eight tenements upon a lot. Wo have al ready condemned that policy, and we wait for commentaries upon it from tho hot weather, which wo are satisfied will demonstrate its evil effects. Wo only wish, at this present writing, to make a couplo of suggestions, which are in valuable in this climato, and which should be adopted by all who are building dwelling hous es, in whioh comfort is considered a desidera tum. Wo never built a house in all our life—wo have superintend a little, [ex-officio,) hero and there—worrying tho builders with inquiries, and favoring them with suggestions, some of which wore thought very good, some of which were laughed at, und few of which were adopted; but we have planned houses and built —-air castles; and waare satisfied that we could plan a very com fortable domic'le, if we had a “regardless of ex pense” clause in the contract. But it is not ne cessary that we should be able to appeal to past practicc,in order to recommend our present sug gestions; it is only necessary to have passed a few nights in a room on tho northern side of a house, in this city during the hot months,the said room having no communication with tho south side of the building. Wo havo so slept, or en deavored to sleep,and we know,that a night spent in such a locality, is tho next thing to being in hot water, or under the Equator. Tho obvious inference from this, is, that nil sleeping apart ments, if possible, should front South, from which point of the compass we get our most re freshing breezes. But this is not the only in ference. Another one which is quite as impor tant, is, that the South front should be pierced with numerous windows, and that balconies should be placed upon the south side wherever it is possible to do so. Pshaw! puts in somo sapient reader, who didn’t know that! Wo do not pretoml to any discovery; but this we do claim, that if these things are well known, it is etrange, and it is deplorable, that the know ledge is not put to practical use. We daily pass a new and handsomo double tenement building,re cently put up, which has a fine southern expo sure, (though it fronts cast.) which has only eight windows on the south side, and all of them small. It should hare sixteeu windows, ami all of them large; and if this had been done, the tenemont would bo one of the most desir able residences in tho whole city, and would command a couple of hundred more per annum, in rent, than it now brings. If it were our house, wo should put in tho windows even now. There are numerous other new buildings re cently erected, or in progress, which are all built in equal apparant ignorance of these facts. When itia so easy to makoa house comfortable, and delightful, wo must confess to getting out of patience sometimes, when wo see such impor tant considerations lost sight of and forgotten. Another suggestion—which like our former one, is known to every body, and by every body disregarded. In constructing a passage way, or hall, where the plan requires it to bo placed either on tho eastern or western side of a building, always put it on tho western side. Why ? booftiise you thus screen the chambers from tho sun, from one o'clock until sunset.— Tho oppsite policy secures to the chambers the temperaturo of an oven, by exposing them to the hot rays of tho sun, for several hoors when those rays are hottest and fiercest. Those suggestions cost nothing in thoir adop tion—they securo a degree of comfort to resi dences, which can be attained in no other way, and wo trust they will command duo considera tion from those who are now engaged in adorn ing and boautifying our already lovely city. Breakers Ahead. Was there over a period in the history of the world, so characterized by rumors of war. and “ notes of dreadful preparation,” us is this present poriod at which we write ? Santa Anna wants to fight Uncle Sam through spite, and •boat the Mecilla Valley—John Bull wants to fight about the fisheries—the Nephew of my IPnele wants to fight, besauye hip Unole did be beforo him, and because the army is thirsty for I blood und spoil, anil because tho army is tho Empire—Nicholas wants to fight through sheer I greediness—Austria, through a natural love for | tho horrors of war—and so, on, to the end ofthe : chapter. The whole world is arming and equip | ping for somo mighty struggle,the sullen murmur j of whose roar is daily growing more and more co j herent. Surely all this is not to end in smoke ! , We are on the evo of stirring times, and such j times ! Tho world will never have seen the like J before! War has become ton-fold the monster | which it was in days gono by; and the killing j art hath attained to that degree of perfection | through tho devices of man, and with the aid of science, that “ annihilation” may almost take that place in tho bulletins, where once Stood the words “ killed and wounded.” But we have not time to follow out the thread of our fancy— it requires no prophetic ken to predict a coming j I storm, such as never before swept the earth, j and we conclude this rather cursory paragraph, j | with a very trite pieco of advice to our readers— ! that in the approaching crisis it would be well, j to have all things ready; and that due prepara- 1 tion be mado for 44 standing from under” (what a daugorous place is that under!) when the ! crash comes. Bring it to Savannah. The last number of the Georgia Home j Gazette, a large, handsome, and excellent liter ary and family weekly, published in Augusta, contains a card from tho Senior editor, James M. Smytiik Esq., in which he offers for sale i his interest (ouo half) in the paper. Tho Gui zette, has a subscription list of 2,300 subscribers I and wo know of few better openings than is i now offered to those ambitious to euter upon the arduous duties of the career editorial. Although our city is already blest, {?) with an abundance of daily sheets ; wo cannot but j feel that she lacks something yet, in tho way of newspapers, and that something, is just such a sheet as the Home Gazette. Wo wish its pro prietors could bo induced to remove it to Sa vannah. So refined and intelligent a com munity as ours, would not fail to patronize it with generous liberality; while there is quite a large amount of literary talent here, which, were the Gazette published in Savannah, would quickly seek its columns for devolopeinent. ! Lastly, our growing importance as the only seaport of any importance, in the State, togeth er with our connexions by Railroad with tho most thickly settled portions of Uoorgia, would secure to the Gazette, a largo and growing cir culation without the city limits, fully equal, if not exceeding what it will command through its present location. Mr. Smtthr intimates that his terms will be found easy, and accommodating—while we ro grot that he should feel it necessary to retiro from his post, wo trust he may bo euabled to do so, in such manner as will be agreeable to him, and to his successor. Our best wishes at tend the Gazette, ami both of its proprietors. A Skdch of llic Sultan. Last Friday-three days since, 1 saw the man who is the nominal head of that ill-com pacted und scarcely cohering empire, once hold in rigorous obedience by tierce und mighty monarehs, whose names were tho dread of Chris tendom. From a wooden palace immediately on the Bosphorus—a finer is building for him, of marble, and of florid Pullndinn architecture— I rode forth, on a handsome black horse, a pale slender man, dressed in a blue frock and pan taloons, wearing the tarboosh or red cap, which here with tho French, had taken the place both of the hat and tho turban. Before him rode his Pashas, high officers of state and war, the men who dispose of the money that comes into his treasury, stout men, for the most part, with tol erably florid complexions. They wore dressed ! in the same garb with himself. The enormous j turbans and barbaric robes which officers of this class wore twenty five or thirty years ago, are now only to bo found in tho Museum of An cient costumes, established by this Sultan’s fa ther in the Atmcdian or Hippodrome. As Sul tan Abdool Medjid rode leisurely along, wom en who were standing in groups beside the way reached forth petitions wrapped in green silk, which were taken by some person belonging to tho Shi tan’s train, and handed to an officer on horseback, carrying a box in which they wero deposited. It is said that the Sultan is always careful to read them, lie is represented us a man of mild, animable disposition, who would be glad to govern his einpiro better than he does, if he only knew how, or if those who sur round him would only let him.— IF. C. Urg ant. Transaction of tlie Rot liseli lids. A recent writer gives some interesting partic ulars upon this subject: In twelve years about five hundred million dollars were raised by the house for different powers, by way of loan or subsidy, which were distributed in nearly tho following proportions: For England, two hundred millions: for Austria fifty millions: for Prussia, forty millions; for Russia twenty five milions; for Naples, fifty millions: for France, eighty millions; for sever al German courts, four millions; for Brazil, twelve millions, exclusive of various other large sums. The remarkable success of the Roths childs,setting aside the great opportunities which they have enjoyed from favorable circumstan ces, may bo attributed to their strict adherence to two fundamental maxims. The first of these, in compliance, with tho dying injunctions of the founder of their house, is the conducting all their affairs entirely in common. Every pro position of magnitude mado to one of them is submitted to the deliberation of all. No propo sition is adopted until thus fully discussed, and then executed by united efforts. A second principle is. not to aim at exorbitant profits, to set definite limits to every operation, und so far as human prudence and foresight can do, to ren der it independent of accidental influences. In this maxim lies ono of the main secrets of their strength. Worth Remembering. Dr. Johnson concludes his life of the brilliant but unfortunate Savage, with this remark : “This biography will not be wholly without its use, if those who, in confidence of superior capa cities or attainments, disregard tho common maxims of life, shall be reminded that nothing j will supply the want of prudence; and that j negligence and irregularity, long-continued, will make knowledge useless, wit ridiculous, and genius contemptible.” Great Race. The Spirit ofthe Times announces a grand running match horse race between two large op- I orators in cattle, in California, to come off be fore the 10th of June; distance, nine miles with- j out stopping, over a level country in the vicin ity of Monterey. The horses named nr q Black Swan (from Sydney) and Fred Cog, a hay from Kentucky, and well know in the States as a very fast mile horso. The match is as follows: SIO,OOO in cash (asido,) ono thousand head of cattle (valued at $23,000,) and five hundred young mares, (valued at $5,000,) making in ill The Colliers of Engluml. It wns in the oarlydusk of the evening that we i took a walk with a friend to see tho laborers as i they came up from a coal mine, where they had been delving from early dawn to that rao i nient, some 300 feet under tho surface of the i earth. The mouth of said mine was a pit or ! well, down which, of course.tho eye could pene trate but a short distance. The operatives were drawn up in a basket or car, suspended by a strong rope, after the manner of a bucket in a well, the motive power being a steam engine, which was at work hard by. They came up some half-dozen at a time, men, women, aud children, clothed in rags, besmeared with dust, and black with coal, conversing in a jargon which to us was entirely unintelligible, nllhough they called it English. Tho friend who was with us (an Englishman) informed us that the women were employed chiefly as carriers: that j is to say, they carried the coal in baskets from I one shaft to another, and up the long ladders i that extended from ono vein to another, un ; til it was landed at the foot ofthe “main shaft,” whence it is drawn up by steam as they had ! just been drawn up, Some of the veins, however, were so low that j they could not stand upright in them, and in i those cases the burden was placed upon n car, j and drawn by a Woman creeping on all fours, j with a belt about her waist,to which tho rope of the car was fastened. He said moreover, that I probably many of these women and children ! bas not seen the sun for months; that the chil j dren generally tended the gates that were plac ed at intervals in the veins, and that they were j for the most part in total darkness. Ho fur j tHer informed us that so close was the contino- I meat of the mines, that the workmen in that mine could not understand half that should bo said to them by one from another mine .ire miles distant; and he assured us, as a positive : fact, that in Very mine un officer went to arrest j a man, and ou inquiring of a girl some dozen j years of age, she knew no such man; but on i hearing a description of his person,replied, “Ob, | yes; tho man’s old Snooks;” and that same “old I Snooks” was her father but she did not know ! hint by His real name. | Whether all this was true or not, one thing is certain, and that is that nowhere upon tho face of tho earth have we ever seen a sot of j men, women and children who bore such un j mistakable evidences of stoli I ignorance, inor dinate labor and utter brutality. We havo been on some plantations where it was evident that j iho negroes had a “hard master,” but wo sol emnly declare wo had never seen any thing to compare at ull with these colliers. In all intel lectual and physical points of view, tho slavos of the South are immeasurably in udvuuce of them. —Gospel Herald. Valuable Cargo of Copper. On Sunday last the propeller Globe arrived ;at this port from the Saulte do Marie, having on board a cargo of two hundred tons of Massa- i Copper, some of the masses of which wore the purest and richest specimens of native copper i ever taken from any ofthe mines; one weighed be tween three and fqur tons. It was from the Cliff and the Minnessotta mines. Tho cargo was probably the most valuable ever brought to this city, being worth at tho market value of S7OO a ton, the round sum of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. About 50 tons of it was landed at the smelting works at the low er part of the city, and the balance was ship ped to Pittsburgh. We understand from let ters received from the Copper Regions that there are now ready for shipment at tho vari ous mines, about 2,000 ton-, worth one million four hundred thousand dollars. Wo are glad to hear that our hardy aud onterprising miners are beginning to reap so rich a harvest for their labors uud deprivations. A better day is ! before them. The resources and capacities ofthe mining re- i gious wore never half so fully developed as du ring the past white . A million an l a half of I copper is the evidence of sit.— Detroit Tribune. I The Aerial Navigation Experiment. The Place d’Armes has been surrounded dai ly for some timo by crowds of gazers, watching the progress of the extensive and varied prep arations for the ascension of Mr. Putin's aerial ship to-morrow at noon. These prcperations have gone ou rapidly, and from all appearan ces there will bo no delay in tho departure to morrow. The two immense balloons, the lar gest in the world, wore being tilled with gas yes terday, and swelled gracefully to a groat height, though not more than half full. Thc*Gas Com pany laid down two lines of connection pipes from the street, one to each baloon, and M. Pe tin was busy yesterday with his numerous assis tants, who ull, wo believe, volunteered him their services, in manufacturing by means of acids, zinc, Ac., in a number of largo hogsheads, gas of a purer quality than could otherwise be ob tained, but which was necessary. The long, slender fabric, call the ship, was ull ready to have tho balloons attached to it, and when wo left a second experiment was be ing mado with the small steam .engine, placed atone end, and tho large propeller screw at the other, to see that they worked easily. There will doubtfully be an immense crowd in and around tho Squaro to-morrow, to witness this daring experiment. Wo trust that where so many hundreds of our citizens have taken an active and pecuniary interest in this experi ment, a regard for tho reputation of the city will induce a general observance of order. The police will be on the ground in force, but we liopo the citizens themselves will see that sui table decorum is observed.— N- O. Ficuyune, 4th inst We regret to see a petty, detestable spirit of uncalled for malice displayed towards Mr. Putin, tho intrepid aeronaut. Night before last ono of his balloons was cut. causing him a loss of several hundred dollars in the shape of gas, Ac. j Yesterday afternoon two persons, whose names are fortunately for them unknown, entered the Place d’Armes and amused themselves by throwing sulphuric acid on ono of the balloons. They immediately ejected in a manner by no means agreeable to their personal feelings. What Iho object of theseannoying and dastard ly outrages is, we cannot lor the life of us un derstand.— Ibid htli inst. An Alabuma Factory.

The building is 150 feet in length, by 50 in width. It presents a very handsome appearance, and is very convenient. It is surmounted by a cupola, and is well.venti lated. Jt contains 3,000 spindles and 100 looms —giving employment to 120 operatives, mostly females—who obtain, in the weaving department from $lO to S2O per month.

From the Providence Journal. A Visit to a Cubua Plantation. j The following pleasant account of a visit to a j plantation in Cuba was written by a gentleman i of this city, and possesses an additional interest, ! inasmuch as the proprietor of the extensive ami j beautiful estate described, is of Rhode Island J origin, und well kuowu to many of our read- I ers : “ I had the pleasure of passing the day on | ono of tho sugar plantations of my friend/Mr. Win, Scott Jenckes, of this city, (Mutanzas) mimed La. Victoria, situated on tho Cumbro, a bout three miles in a Northwesterly direction, and upon an elevation of more thaft 200 feet above tho level of tho sea. We started, as is custom in this country, at an early hour, about o'clock,to avoid riding in the heat of the day. Mr. Jenckes, tho owner, and a mutual friend of ours, were of the party. This estate is tho ! smallest of three sugar estates owned by Mr. J. ! Ills largest, La Concepcion, makes annually about 5,000 boxes, San Cirilo makes about 3.000 boxes. The homestead estate is inherited frutu his father, Mr. Scott Jenckes, who was nt ono time ono of the most influential citizens of Prov idence, but thinking it lor the benefit of his health and that of his wife, came out here, and with his accumulated wealth, purchased aud successfully worked these large estates. Mr. Win. S. Jenckes, his only son, was born in Providence, hut although he ha? passed near ly all of his days on this beautiful island, for the government of which he has enertained and expresses the highest reverenco and loyalty, has not lost one grain of that 10. e of his native land, the land of his birth, or ono spark of pa triotism which is ever felt by every true native of our happy Union, aud this has been recently evinced by his magnificent hospitality to our late lamented Vice-President, Wm. Rufus King, ! by placing at his disposal the estuto La Victoria, before mentioned, with ull the luxuries of tho ! land, good servants, every delicacy to suit the j palate, and all the conveniences of luxurious J furniture, superadded to which, uu air to j j breathe that cannot be surpassed in tho whole j habitable world lor its salubriousness. Following along the road as it winds up tho ! hill, (which, by the private exertion of Mr. J., i has been highly improved,) you cannot but be j charmed by the delightful prospects a? they op- ; cn before you. On tho right, you have the vast ■ expanse of the ocean, and as you turn your face to receive tlie fresh cooling breeze, your eyes I are delighted with its calm, placid surface; on . the left after you have ascended half ofthe hill I you get a view of the beautiful vallcy'of the Su- : muri, here and there its irregular aud undulat- j ing surface studded with the oocoanut tree,aud i then the palm, the only truly classic tree of the , torrid zone. When you arrive at the summit of ! the hill,you then have a full view of tho chateau of Mr. J., with its terrracos, observatory, audits massive gateway; and a little to the right, the more modest but very pretty Quinta of his | intended son in law. Thus wo rode aloug, feasting our every sense, ! first turning to tho ocean to take a snuff of the fresh breeze, and ever and anon our eyes would wander,discovering some new beauty in the de licious tropical landscape before us until at last we arrived at the gateway of La Victoria, from which we could see the beautiful flower gardens o neither side of the front entrance to tho house ’ and here and there the tall slender pine inter spersed among the beautiful and graceful palms. The gardens were filled with all the varied store oftropica! flowers,tho cactus,Ac., aud also many beautiful roses torn up from some foreign soil ‘ and brought hither to beautify this more than beautiful spot. The grounds, whioh extend down towards tho ocean from the house, are laid out in a triangu lar form, so that whatever time of day you may walk, you will always have a line shade. The avenues on either side aro lined with the cocoa- j nut nnd palm, interspersed with the orange, ! lemon, lime, bauatia, and plantain, and the spaces between are tilled with the coffee, and spices of every tree of this clime, making a dense shade. These are the pleasure grounds. J au 1 separated from those tor tho culture of tho sugar house, which occupy a distinct cn- j closure. The grounds are here and there orna- ‘ incntcd by statues and statuettes of Washing- j t >n, Napoleon, and other heroes, one very pret ty one, n Venus, and one of Juan of Arc. But I must return to a description of the house, which is built of stone, and presents with its terraces somewhat the appearance of a cas tle. On tho first floor, in the centre of tho main building, is a largo hall, some fifty feet square, with large doors at either end for perfect venti lation, and on either si lo there are suits of sleeping rooms; the hall is used as a dining room. The second story is arranged like the first, with the exception that tho hall is used ns a billiard room, in which there is a mostexcel lanfc table, and all around hammocks, and large comfortable leather sofas, so convenient for a lounge. From tho terrace above, the view is beautiful beyond description, for you have at j once tho ocean, the valley, and for successive j longues the most charming view of tho surroun- i ding country, with the tall sugar-loaf looking eminence in front, called tho Pan do Matquzns i The observatory is furnished with a telescope,of I large dimensions. At nine o’clock we had a most delicious-break- ‘ fast, for which our early ride had given us an ! excellent appetite. After breakfast we rode up j to view fctbo fields of young canes, the mills, i sugar houses, Ac. Ac. The estate turns out j about four hundred hogsheads of sugar annual- | ly. At two o'clock we took a “siesta” of an hour, and at three sat down at a dinner lit for I a prince. After dinner, we wiled away tho time j with sotne-dclicious segars, such as can bo got only on this favored island, and just before sun- i down, the horses having been brought, wo star- ! ted for town, where we are arrived safely, after j having spent a most delightfully pleasant day | and such a day ns ono can only spend in this part of tho world. Anirricaa I'iic-Armn, At a recent official trial, at Woolwich, Eng., of Marston’s American breach loading and self cleaning rifle, thirty-six rounds were fired, a largo portion of the cartridges having been im mersed in a bucket of wafer, but the arm never once missed fire. On another occasion, ns sinted in an English military paper, called “The Field,” a quart of water was poured into the barrel, and the cartridge covered with mud, without producing any failure in the discharge.
