TUESDAY MORNING. 8EPT. 80.
To Lawful-—We copy Ine following ailver- I
moment from the St. Paul's i.Mmenia) Pioneer, |

Southern papers please ropy.”

, pers in Austria, fourteen in Africa, twenty-four in
■ xpain, twenty in Portugal, thirty in Asia, sixty -

i of rank. It consistsof a Chinese gentleman of the j
name of Chungaltai, and his w ife Ahap, accom

doineatic. The three ladies possess the small feet
which are the peculiar characteristic of the higher
1 class females in the Ceh stial Empire. Thdv had
hoped to teach England in time to be presold at
. the opening of the Great Exhibition, but their
arrival was felatded by contrary winds.
I Catholicism in lutLtNu.—The new Catholic
association of Ireland, is defying the Government
and Uw in the most open manner. The Catholic
press is filled with defiances and declarations that
they have set at naught the new anti papal bill,
ami openly br ken the law. A new and compre
hensive field for agitation is now opened, and the
controversy is proceeding in a manner which the
I government cannot overlook. It is now believed
' that Ireland is on the brink of an important and
startling crisis. The Government it is reported
l has positively resolved upon prosecuting the Irish
bishops for assuming the titles of their respective
sees.
Biutish Armament.—There arc now in England,
or on the voyage homeward, fqrty regiments; in
India twenty-four; in other Eastern possessions
fourteen, and- two reserve battalions; in the Medi

two reserved battalions. The total strength of the
llrdish infantry regiments abroad is 60,332 odicers
and men.
The Hope of Spain.—In a recent debate in the j
' Spanish Cortes, on a call for information “ con
cerning tne antecedents of the last expedition of
r pirates, comma 1 Jed by Don Narciso Lopez, against j
■ the Island of Cuba,” the Marquis of Miraflores, one
of the ministers, in answer to an enquiry proposed
| by Senor Baditi, one of the deputies, observed that
„ all he could say that time w as that “ the naval
• force of England ami France, an I the state of our
' relations with those countries, offer us the certain
means of preserving the integrity of out valuable i
island.”
A Ntw !i«ka.—A despatch from Washington
f ’ dated the 8th ilist, says:
' ' “It is alleged that Lope*, was decoyed to Ba
hia Honda by a stratagem of Gen. Condra; and
that facts are connected with it, involving great
national questions. There w. s a meeting of the
Cabinet on Saturday night, said to tie connected
with the matter.
1J' Two young men at New York were trying
. the strength of their arms by clasping the right!
hand of each and resting the > lbow on the coun
ter, and then endeavoring each to force the hand
of the other down. In the struggle tin ar.n of one
j was broken short off above the elbow, causing a
report loud enough to be heard from oue extreme
of the saloon to the other.
Pant* Rmnw.— A paper unit in Georgia men
, gaged in manufacturing an article of paper, for
> roofing, which is believed to be better and cheaper
[ for that purpose than almost anything e;se. This
paper is made out of the same materials as corn
, non wrapping paper, and is a quarter of au inch
; thick. It is securely nailed to a well seasoned
covering of boards, and then thoroughly tarred,
1 and, while the la, is green, a good coat.ng of sand
silled upon it. The roof then becomes hard as
stone, entirely impervious to water, quite as proof
against tire as uny roetalic roof, and said to be
more durable than any otter in use.
—,r T — ~ m i
CtiiiJUUM Kina was MatajUK*.—The C'.rittom
Jin-:,it raysthatin Chili then- us a domestic Court
termed ' a tribunal of fathers to decide in the case
of minors complaining of the refusal of parents to
permit their outr age. Unless the defendant can
show satisfactorily cause for refusal, the court de
crees the marriage to take p’arc.’ The effect of
: this arrangement, i: is stated, i* to cause runaway
matches to be eoinparltively scarce in Chili.
Basks in vuk t'srrto Stai*».- The Boston
Banker ,’ .Maganme gives a tabb showing the nmn
!*• r, capital, and condition of the Banks in all thei
States ol the Union. Total number of banks, tkiif;

IT Courting is ar, institution of fl utes and moon
•ght—2 pen id that brings discretion to a full *tnp,
and marks with a star the morning of o.ir hopes.
Courting converts women into angels, mouths into
honey combs—the lleqrl become* a great hive of
sweets—while kisses are the lose, that keep up
the supply.
.Maa. Pastinctok on Klandck.—"If there is

This is from a lady of Providence, Rhode bland.
We fully concur m all thnl afce and other people
of the east say or can say of the exceeding beauty
of “Tbo laivcra’ I.asl Meeting,” but she is mis

wbo could, in one week, write a wliole volume of
such poetry if she would devote her lime to it.

Condo »id It -tory of steam.
About '2. 0 year) H. C., Hero, of Alexsudria,
formidably which exhibited some of the (lowers
of steam, a ml was mav c4 by its power.
A. n. 510, Anthemius an arobeitect. arranged
several caldrons of water, each covered with the
wide bottom of a leathern tube, which rose to a
narrow top with pipes extended to the rafters of
the adjoining building. A tire was kindled be
neath the caldrons, and the house was shaken bv
the efforts of tin steam ascending the tubes.—
This is the first notice of the power of steam re
corded.
In 1543, June 17, Blasco De Garoy tried a steam
boat of 2ii‘J tons with tolerable success at Barce
lona, Spain. It consisted of a caldron of boiling
water arid a moveable wheel On each side ol the
ship. It was laid aside as m.practicable. A pres
sent, however, was made to Garoy.
Iri 1750 the first railroad was constructed at
Newcastle on Tyne.
The first idea ol a steam • iigme in England w as
in the Mat'juts ol Wotcesler’s “ History of Inven
tions,” A. 1). IW53.
In 1710 Newcomer made the first steam engine
In iils patents were granted to Savary for the
hut application ol t ho steam yngioe.
In 11 14 Jamcs Watt mailt tin; lirst perfect attain
engine in England*
In 17.18 Jonathan Hulls first set forth the idea
of steam navigation.
In l#7* Tlioujas Fame fust prop sell tins appli
cation in America.
In 1731 Marquis Jonffriy constructed one on
the .saonc.
In 17Hi two A1 wriduS published a work on it.
In t7sy William Tvramgton made a voyage in
one on the Forth aiitl Clyde canal.
In 1802 this experiment was repeated.
In ns2 Ramsey propelled a boat by steam at
Mew York
In 1787 Jolm Fitch, of Philadelphia, navigated
a boat by a steam engine in the Delaware.
In 1792 Hubert Fulton first began to apply his
attention to steam.
In 179J Oliver Evans, a native of Philadelphia,
corisiructd a loc omotive steam engine to travel on
a turnpike road.
The itwt steam vessel that ever crossed the At
lantic . was tiic Savannah, in the month i f June,

ing n> from the last number of the St. Loan He
p ubit i" an:
We understand from a soutcc which h ads ns to
give it in,pin it credence that for some 1 m> past a
number of Americans have been com enlraiina up
on the KioCiande, near Fort Brown, to intis’ in *u
attempt t" %volutk>uiie the mate of Tamauiipas,
Mexico. Ai the last account, they n(mitered some
SiWnwn. ready forth** expedition, and were waiting
me signal from Carraiajuil, a noted freebooter in
that Stale fur years past, and well remembered for
his depredationa upcu small parties <>f American
troops mthat part of Me ico, during the last war.
lie was to have lakeu the lead in a prouum-m
memo and the revolution of Tama ultras, ami the
FiHibulteros troni Texas were to invade the Terri
tory and to aid in the establishment of the new
gov et n men L The prosper:! of a ret otution in Cuba,
unditr the flag of Lopes, diverted the attention of
cr--n Tataanlipa* patriots, and we recollect that one
of the accounts for the New Orleans papers slated
that about three hundred men had coax-regaled
about Mustang Island waiting the a trivialof a ves
iset to take them to Cuba. They del uot go, how
ever, and now the old expedition will be, no doupt.
revived. One would think that the very name of
the freebooter who ia to take the Mwd tn Urn Tara
auiipas expedition would b* suflicieatly tepulme
to deter any Ametutau from engaging in xach an
enterprise, "but it is quite ceriai.t it is not. We
hope that the government, already probably adv ised
of tars foray, will lake the moat decided measures
to disperse those engared in it.

of our race have tied away, carrying their energy,

England. There are as many paujicrs m Irish
workhouses to day as there were people in all Ire
land at the* beginning of the. last century. The
landlords have levelled '-*80,000 honst-s. and driven
forth as many famitiea—only loO.ouo less hearths
left desolate than there were in all ltelund a cen

cent., or one-tilth of its whole population. Of
the other fifths, one at least is a pauper; one may
he aide to live by profession, property or industry: I
and the others struggle hard between the extremes
of our social state. Such is the summing up of
the case f Ireland to-day. it is very easy to or
dt r the demcirnals and parallel the statistics. But
w hat human tongue may tell al! the woe and evil,
all the causes and consequences which these few
figures cipher, and preach the duty that lies upon
us all before (toil aud man thereby.
Ten years ago the w orld had great hopes of Ire
land. More men and women of the Irish race i
stood together upon Irish soil than ever before
since the abounding days of Calial Mor. A strange
moral revolution, to winch there are but few par- j
allels'in the lustory of mankind, had suddenly been
wrought in the habits of a whole people—young
and old crowding in myriads round a simple friar,
at of yore, when the hermit called Europe to save
the sepulchre of our Lord. The people were re
deemed in a summer from the follies and vices of
their slavery: temperance bands on the roads*
temperance reading-rooms in the villages; tempe
rance and its virtues in al1 the acts and words ol
the people. It seemed as though one act of Volt
turn should lift them to the full stature of fri tdom.
True, there was gnat distress m many parts of the
country, as there had Ircen, indeed, fi,r years even
of the most prosperous times; but it was borne
with pride and patieuce, aud no one looked to the
workhouses, which were first beginning,to open,
as the reihedy or receptacle for it. \V ho should
dream that those beggar barracks should be crowd
ed with the proud, hopeful, temperate Irish peas

and thousands flying panic stricken across the)

millions of people less than we should he.
The hand of God has lam heavy upon Ireland.
For our own sins and shortcomings it is that Ire
land is lifeless and desolate to day. aud that the
llowir of our population have tied to distant
lands. Contemplating that terrible state, the head
reels as over a precipice. Hut when we are dead

The Country ruined «r«iii—T >c Steam \ j

It appeantby the western papers that a Mr. Solo
mon, a rriissnin emigrant at Cin< mnati, has dis
covered a motive power that throws steam entirety
in the shade. His power is the expansion ol car
bonic acid ess. made from common whiting, sul
phuric acid and w ater, and at eighty degree s above
boiling point his gas gives a pressure ol 4.380 tbs.
to the square inch; white- to producetbe same pres
s ire from steanvrdemirtnhr if-heat of about 4»iii de
grees. When this presure is on we would rather
be- a miie <iis!ant.___^„
Mr. Solomon says that his gas can be generated
hi a small apace not much larger than a good
bombshell, and that whilst it costa in fuel one
thousand dollars to run a first class engine from
Cincinnati to New Orleans, Ins gas will produce
the same result (or five dollars.
Here then it will be seen that by the discovery
of an emi -ratit irntrim an, without Iho assistance
of the tariff, every man owning atcarn engines will
be ruined; us they will certainly sell for nothing
but old iron.
Seriously, however, xve doubt whether this new
power can be made available for common pnrp-ises,
as it must be difficult of management, .and very
explosive, It may l»e that the careful chemist can
control it m bis experiments in the labarai -ry,
but we candidly think the ordinary engineers w ill
not lie able to manage it on an extensive scale.

\ ‘•During the war of 1836-7, in Florida, the of

circumstances respecting good coverings for Utw
understandings. The Indians had king been dis

durable buckskin, and it so happened that i num
her of them, With their squaws, were kept kind of
prisoners at the camp of out aruiy. One day a
triend of ours in the aruiy . ,one of the best practical
tanners and leather dressers in the t'nited States,
watched w it h great earnestness, the mode by which
the squaws dressed their deer skins. He observed
that they used the brains of the deer mixed along
with lye made of wood ashes, forming a kind of
soap T eolation was rubbed on the skins,
allowing thorn to dry at each operation—two or
three times, until the skins were completely satu
rated with ti e solution. Alter tbia, the skins were
■tanked, thi same a« bams, in a pit dug in the
ground. After the l mb ads had left the camp, the
officers could not even get moccasins.
The idea suggested itself to our friend, that there
was no use o' wanting shoes when there were
plenty of deer killed; but from a distance in the
woods they could not, and w ere not accustomed to
bring the brains of the annual; but a remedy was

he had plenty of that. The blacksmith made him
an old shaving knife, ami he got Ins post between
two trees, while he kept an antiouseye to the skins
