IRISH EMIGRANT SOCIETY^
Office, No. 1 Meade Street, New York.
IN consequence of the great number of complaints which
have for a long time been made by Emigrants, of frauds
committed upon them in the sending of money to their
friends in Ireland, and to aid and protect the Emigrant,
the Irish Emigrant Society ostablishud a fund, deposited
in the Dank of Ireland, upon which they draw drafts,
payable at sight, at any of the branches of the Bank.
Persons residing out of the city, by enclosing in a letter
the sum they wish forwarded, with the plainly written
direction to whom and where it is to be paid, will have the
same remitted.
There is a great advantage in purchasing the Society's
drafts?that the Bank has a branch in each of the princi
pal towns in Ireland, and thus the losses by discount, and
otherwise, are avoided.
Tho Society keeps an office at No. 22 Spruce street, to
which Emigrants can apply to obtain situations for which
they are litted.
Orders from employers in the country, stating tho ser
vices required, tho wages, and tho cheapest modes of con
veyance, and giving a respectable reference, will meet with
prompt utteution.
The Society will be thankful for all circumstantial and
early information of any fraud, imposition, or outrage
committed on Emigrants, and will endeavor speedily to
apply a remedy. GREGORY DILLON, President.

The superiority of this paint over all other, for carriage,
house, and ship painting, will be seen in its rapid side.
It is not over four months since this paint has been intro
duced into market, and our agent has been able to ordor
one hundred tons. The paint is ground in oil, and put
up ready for use, from the finest black down to any shade
to suit the fancy.
Also, inventors and manufacturers of Tanners' lilack
ing. This article is so universally approbated by all who
have used it, that it scarcely needs commendation. But
to give confidence to those who may not have tried it, we
would say that Z. C. Ryon, foreman to A. M.Taylor ? Co.,
Columbia street, Cincinnati, has authorized us to use his
name as a recommendation to tanners in general. To nil
who know Mr. Z. C. Ryon this would be sufficient; but all
tanners In the city and country, who have used it, have
granted us this privilege. If it were necessary we could
till a newspaper with testimonials; but where all who use
are pleased we deem it uncalled for.
The Tanners' Blacking is put up in kegs containing six
gallons, ready for use, aud will be sent to anv point on
the canal, railroad, or river, at fifty cents per gallon.
All orders should be addressed, post paid, to

Tub Richmond Republican.?The publishers
of this excellent journal have seen the vanity
and folly of issuing a mammoth sheet. The
struggle to do this, for appearance sake, is as
absurd as it is general. Nowhere, except in
the largest commercial cities, where space is
needed to meet the custom of profitable adver
tisers, should a larger daily sheet than the Na
tional Inlellijenctr be printed ; and many of the
best in our country arc smaller than this. But
a larger size is inconvenient, and should only
adoPtc<i from pressing necessity. We pre
dict for the Republican increased patronage upon
its reduction in size. Its editors say :
"We propose, on the 1st of July, to issue the
Dauy paper on a sheet greatly reduced in size,
s,la11 m, no curtail the amount of read
ing matter heretofore furnished to our readers.
?y throwing out many annual advertisements
which we have permitted to accumulate beyond
their legitimate duration, as well as in many
cases beyond their allotted space, we shall be
able to give a freshness to our whole sheet,
which does not characterize Daily papers bur
dened with advertisements bearing old dates.
us arrangement, too, will enure much to the
benefit of our advertising patrons themselves;
lor it will force them to renew more frequently
or have their notices pushed aside altogether
? ,VC been inscr*ed a certain period.
? " iie kemNWeckly issue will be double the
size of the Daily Republican, and larger than the
present sheet. The Weekly will not be altered
in any respect unless to improve its typographi
cal appearance. .
" Whenever occasion requires it, from a press
ol transient advertisements, or an additional ac
cumulation of news matter, we shall invariably
issue a Double Daily sheet."
The Recent Cane Presentation.?The cor
respondence in relation to this little matter has
been copied into many of the papers on our
exchange list. From the editorial columns of
the Charlestown Free Press?one of the best
newspapers in Virginia, by the way?we quote
the following remarks:
Presentation of a Cane to R. W. Latham.?
Latham, the Banker at Washington, is a man
to be noted. Whatever he does is done with
such a hearty good-will, such an earnestness,
that everybody is convinced his soul is in the
act. Whether he preaches a sermon, or counts
out a pile of bank notes, the act has an unction
about it that gives it double value. He makes
"troops of friends" wherever he goes : and if
anybody should be cross enough to become his
enemy through prejudice to his vocation, he is
ance CI'Cnt thC ^ UP?" U closer ?cq?aint
Some of the Baltimore friends of Mr. Latham
who have watched with interest his progress in
the National Metropolis, lately determined to
give him a striking evidence of their regard
and accordingly they presented him a walking
cane?a handsome, and yet a substantial affair
hey gave it to him, not simply as a memorial
due to an accomplished business man, but on
account of his unflagging efforts and patriotic
sentiments in behalf of the Union of the States
Their allusions touched the proper chord, and
friend Latham's enthusiasm gave itself vent in
many glowing and appropriate thoughts, couch
ed in eloquent and burning words. We have
not room for them at present, but we cannot
dismiss the subject without joining him in the
following glowing paragraph, in reference to
the l nion and its blessings:
"We have great cause lor congratulation, and
our breasts should overflow with gratitude to
the Author of every " good and perfect gift "
that our country is now safe; and that here,
beneath the wide-spreading branches of the
Iree of Liberty, we may dwell secure."
The Constitution of Ohio.?In many par
ticulars the Constitution of Ohio appears to be
a most n literal copy of that lately adopted in
Maryland. In regard to legislation, it is re
quired that no law shall be passed " without
the concurrence of a majority of all the mem
bers elected in each house; and no bill to con
tain more than one subject."
?ludges, and all other public officers of every
grade, are to be elected by the people. The
practice, pleadings, forms, and proceedings
ot the courts of record," are to be revivod, re
formed, simplified, and abridged; and distinc
10ns between law and equity proceedings are
to >e abolished. These are wholesome and
much-needed provisions; and we hope that tMe
work will be well performed in Maryland as
well as Ohio.?Bait. Clip] er. /
?John Van Buren has accepted the invitation
?' 'e committee to unite with the Free-soilers
?> Worcester county, Massachusetts, in celc
irating the approaching anniversary of Ameri
canIndependence in that city. It is also stated
that John p. uai* |1(VS accepted an invitation to

FhkiJbbjck the Gukat.?A colonel in his |
service, the father of a numerous family, hud
become embarrassed by his debts, and began to I
ahow it in his looks. Meeting him one day j
while off duty, pensive and abstracted as usual, j
the king (who took a fatherly interest in Ins ?
officers, and kept himself generally acquainted ,
with all that concerned them) accosted him
thus : " What ails you, colonel ? You are out
of spirits, and have been so this long time.
Now, this is wrong; between friends there
should be no secrets. You ought to let me
know what troubles you ; perhaps 1 can help
you." Seeing him confused, and hesitating,
without waiting for an answer, the king con- ?
tinued: "No matter; I'll tell you, then, for 1 |
always look after the affairs of my friends as
well as my own. You owe two thousand crowns,
(handing him a roleau of ducats;) there s the
money to pay it?(then handing him anothei)
and there is more to keep you out of debt lor
the future."
A certain clergyman in Berlin made the king
the constant object of his attacks from the
pulpit; he declaimed without ceasing against
him as irreligious, profane and tyrannical, and
poured forth upon his devoted head, as Sabbath
succeeded Sabbath, volumes ol the moBt viru
lent abuse. lie was reproved by the ministry,
and repeatedly advised to be more circumspect
by those who apprehended that his temerity
would draw down upon him some terrible retri
bution, but all in vain. At last ho was arrested,
| and brought before the king. 44 My reverend
friend," said his majesty archly, "you have
evidently an ambition to be a martyr. Now
understand me once for all; in that respect, I
cannot oblige you. You may abuse me to the
end of the chapter, but I shall not persecute
you in return. Permit me, then, to advise you
to select hereafter some other topic lor the edi
fication of your audience. After hearing so
much of the imperfections of an earthly king,
I doubt not that it would be quite refreshing to
| them if you were to descant awhile upon the
perfections of the King of kings, whose glory
land honor 1 fear you lmve quite lost ^sigti tot
while devoting your attention to me. With
this gentle reproof, which was administered in
full court, the reverend gentleman was dismiss
ed, but thenceforth a change was manliest in
the style of his preaching, which was greatly to
the advantage of his congregation.
Being informed that a certain citizen of Ber
lin was a disaffected person, and had uttered
the most atrocious threats against lnm . How
i many hundred thousand men can he bring into
the field?" said the king. " hh."01ie *
Well, then, it is hardly worth while foi
make war upon him ?"
Notwithstanding the severity of his discipline,
Frederick was loved as a father by his soldiers,
and a father and a friend he proved himself to
them on all occasions. An old sergeant, on
half pay, incapacitated by his wounds lor active
service, had for a long time been an applicant
to the Minister of France for a small post, which
would increase his slender income, and enable
him to make some provision for the future, lhc ,
Minister Werder, though a man of capacity, was
haughty and inaccessible; he had his own
family and favorites to provide for, and the poor
sergeant's suit was too humble to attract even
the passing notice of the great man.
Wearied and discouraged, the old soldier sat
down and stated his casein writing to the king.
Upon the receipt of his letter Frederick sent for
him, and found, upon inquiry, that his complaint
was by no means ft solitary one?several old
veterans and invalids having made similar appli
cations with no better success. "1 ake a pen,
said the king, "and write a new Potion to the
minister for the place you want.' The sergeant
did as he was ordered. "Now add," continued
the king "that we old soldiers are of opinion
that your excellency does not treat the veterans
of the army of the king with the consideration
due to their services and merits, and that, un
lc<s justice is done to ourselves and our com
rades we shall take measures to procure your
excellency's removal, and the appointment of
some one who will treat us better in your place.
The old sergeant stared and wondered, but
obeyed orders without a question. "Good,
said the king; "now sign your name, and then
[ give me the pen." The sergeant signed, and
handed the pen to the king who at once ap
pended his own signature below that of the pe
titioner, and sent the document to the minister,
saying, with a smile, "we old soldiers must make
common cause when the great folks treat us ill;
let us sec what the minister will say to that pe
tition " It is needless to add that in this case,
as we'll as in all of a similar character, there
was no longer any complaint on the score of
inattention or ncglcct. ? ,. ,. i
Equally mild and gentle was the king to his
personal attendants and his household servants.
He seldom spoke to a domestic or a page with
, out using some kindly appellation, as " my
I friend " or " my childand all who were faith
ful and deserving received from him the most
paternal treatment. Faults were frequently
forgiven or overlooked; and sometimes when
1 liberties?which in most royal households would I
have been considered unpardonable?were ta
ken with him. they only elicited some *rchand |
good-humored reproof, winch, while it checke
presumption, inflicted no serious wound upon
the feelings. Passing a looking-glass one daj
he observed one of his pages behind his back
helping himself to a pinch from the royal snuff
box*! " How do you like it?" asked the king,
turning quickly, and addressing himself to the
embarrassed attendant. Contused and abashed,
the voung man could not answer n won .
asked you how you liked my snuff, repeated
the kine " and 1 expect an answer. torcea
to reply! the culprit at last stammered out that
it i?s very good " Put the box in your pocket
then," said Frederick ; "it is not large enough
for both of us."
A Goi.n Story.?A returned Californian, by
the Crescent City, yesterday entered a store in
this city, for the purpose of purehi^ing a pair
of boots: upon his taking off the old pair, the
merchant observed them to glitter and upon
closer examination found them to be literally
spangled with particles of gold, adhering to the
California soil that still remained upon them.?

Think of that! boots worn through the mines
of California, all the way home by steam to
Panama, over the mountains and through the
mud on the Isthmus, again steaming it to
Albany, and yet " literally spangled with gold.
"Go it, boots," to the mint.

| Aot long since a chemist paid a carpenter
nine dollars for a set of regular solids, made of
some common wood, say two or tiiree inches in
ammeter. Thousands have been made by chil
dren as their richest amusement, far superior
m many respects, and much more instructive,
from being made by the pupil's own hands.
Iseing made of pasteboard, the outspread sur
face is seen, showing the mode of combining,
as well ns the solid in its regular form.
*on? 6*nco a box containing the cube,
modified by several sections and combinations,
was procured from France, at the cost of six
dollars. Last winter a girl seven years old, the
daughter of a member of Congress, made, prin
cipally under the instruction of another girl of
ten years old, a set of illustrations far more
complete in effecting their object than those
procured from France, though in workmanship
inferior of course. To pupil and teacher, it
need not bo said, the work was amusing in
struction, and instructive amusement. With
the cube, under several divisions and combina
tions, the other regular solids, variously modi
lieu, were also formed by the same young pupil
and by her juvenile teacher.
By these practical lessons the facts, that in an
inch cube are eight half-inch cubes; that in a
two-inch cube are eight inch cubes; and that
in a four-inch cube are sixtv-four inch cubes
and the whole principle of the ratio of increase
in all solids, become as familiar both to teacher
and pupil as that lead is heavy and cork light,
or any other physical truth learned by repeated
experiments. The doctrine of the cube, thus
familiarly, because practically and agreeably
learned, is of very great importance, as being at
the foundation of thousands of daily business
operations, with that importance greatly in
creased from the constant and gross blunders in
business arising from the general ignorance of
this fundamental priuciple of cubic measure
even among our most intelligent business men!
1 lie five regular solids arc at the foundation of
the beautiful, wonderful, and instructive science
ofcrystallograpliy, as they are of natural and
artificial mechanism generally, as exhibited in
the works of God and man. One or two hun
dred dollars are frequently paid for models of
crystals imported from France.
I Experiment.?The clerk of a steamboat once
charged freight for a pile of rope for passing
cars on an inclined plane, according to his mea
surement, one-fourth of the price intended ? not
having learned the difference between an eight
foot cube and eight cubic feet, or other myste
ries ol the cube ; also locked up from thousands
to whom it would be well if they were spread
out in broad daylight.
We think it due to the estimable author of
these essays to place in our columns the an
nexed testimony to their value, from the hon
orable Senator Shields, of Illinois, for which
purpose we solicited a copy of the letter :
j T1 Belleville, June 11, 1851.
Dear Str: I have just received the first num
ber of your essays on " Mechanism." It will
give me great pleasure to contribute to its cir
culation in tliis State. I hope to see your essays
on "Geology" and " Mechanism" in every com
tnon school in this State, for the purpose of
primary instruction. It would be impossible to
find a greater quantity of useful information in
a smaller compass. Yours, respectfully,

There is hardly a more common mistake than
to suppose that in another or higiier position
we should act better than in our pwn. It may
be regarded as a certain rule, to which thero
aie lew exceptions, that a careless person will
not alter Ids careless habits because lie is raised
to a higher office. If lie takes no trouble to
, reform the habit in his present situation, he
j may be sure that the attempt will scarcely be
made when lie is transferred to a more elevated
; position. Faithfully to discharge the duties of
a lower situation is the best preparation for a
higher employment.?l'xch angr paper.
IIff.'ti Prick or Water.?A late number of
the .Alexandria Hed Nirrr Republican says that
there "is only one cistern in town, that we
know of, that has rain-water in it. Spring
water from the pine hills on the other side of
the river readily commands 75 cents a barrel."
The flood destroyed so many mills and car
ried off such quantities of flour in the valleys of
Iowa, that it has been found necessary to ship
several hundred barrels from St. Louis to pro
vide the people with food.

It is said that the value of com mills in
