IN consequence of the great number of complaints which
have for a long time been made by Emigrants, of frauds
committed upon them in Uie sending of money to their
friends In Ireland, and to aid aud protect the Emigrant,
the Irish Emigrant Society established a fund, deposited
in the Bank of Ireland, upon which they draw drafts
payable at sight, at any of the branches of the Hank.
l'ersons 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.
? Ti?ero ,u * 8reat 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, aud
otherwise, are avoided. I
The Society keeps an office at No. 22 Spruce street, to
which Emigrants cau apply to obtain situations for which
they are fitted.
Orders from employers In the country, stating the ser-1
vices required, the wages, and the cheapest modes of con
veyance, and giving a respectable reference, will meet with
prompt attention.
The Society wfll be thankful for all circumstantial and

The Sabbath Bell.
BY CHARLKS B. CAPV.
Sitting at my window, now
Comes the music stealing soft,
As above yon hillock's brow
Float the Sabbath-chimes aloft.
Often, in my younger year,
When the evening shadows fell,
llow I lingered long, to hear
Holy voice of Sabbath Bell.
I have stood in sorrow there
By that grave to me so dear,?
Where no passing eye could stare,
And no passing foot was near;
While upon the gale would rite.
Sweeping geaitly down the dell,
Music springing to the
Vroiu that eveulng Sabbath Bell.
Strange it Is, that Mumc'h f oice,
Speaking on the Sabbath eve,
Will the sinking soul rejoice
And the laden heart relieve.
Oh, an influence by that tone,
More than mortal tongue cun tell,
Is upon tho spirit thrown
By ibe voico of Sabbath Bell!
On our bosom's lonely strand,
When life's billows cease to play,
And, unto the Spirit-Land,
Voices call our hearts away;
And tho parting Spirit's smile
Is its truest, purest knell,?
Who will say that car, the while,
Hears no angel Sabbath Belli

Wasted?One hundred accomplished rowdies
to perfect our young city larks in street educa
tion. The pupils are many of them apt and
advanced scholars, and will requiro but little
more training to elevate them above loaferism
and graduate them as rowdies.
Our city is going ahead with magnificent
strides; and in order to keep up with other im
provements, these teachers Bhould be at the top
of their profession. They must be competent
to take the lead in drinking raw whisky, swear
ing. fighting, smoking three-cent cigars, out
late o' nights, talking ribaldry at street-corners,
(especially to ladies,) playing ball and shooting
on Sundays, firing carpenters' shops, picking
pockets, and kicking up a fuss generally and at
short notice.
It is not expected all of them will be expert
in every branch. Division of labor is profitable,
and a sign of civilisation. A few genteel ones
will labor among "birds of a feather;" a sprin- |
kling of darkeys can operate to advantage around
oyster-shops; but the large majority should be
ragged and mud-colored.

Cheap Living.?A gentleman in England,
who spent some time in this country, lately
wrote to a frieud in Yorkshire, giving his opin
ion of matters and things in general, lie ad
mit* the peoplo of the United Stutes to be a
very decent, nice set of fellows, and speaks pai -
ticularly of our hotels and steamboats as sur
passing those of England in general arrange
ment and prolusion of good food. Contrasting
the prices of living In the two capitals, London
and Washington, he says:
"If the mode of serviug up, and the variety
of wholesome dishes are taken into considera
tion, then, the living in the metropolis of the
United States is far cheaper than it is in any
town of magnitude, or oven village, in England.
I spent the latter part of the summer of 184J
in Washington, which I found rather dull, but
the living was quite as good as any Englishman
need desire, and at prices that surprised me.
For instance, I bad quite a large airy room,
very oomfortably furnished and kept iu order,
for eight dollars per month, less than two
pounds sterling. I took my meals at Copp'fl
Pavillion, a very largo and spacious building,
located in the most central part of the city, for
which I was charged fifteen and mnepence a
week, about three dollars and a half of their
money. It is true that there were neither gold
nor silver plate, nor costly china, but otherwise
the table was as well furnished as any hotel in
London. . .
"Everyday we had a delicious soup, (not un
frequently calf's head and green turtle,) with
% fish called by the natives sheepshead, quite
squul to our turbot, with roast beef, mutton,
ind veal, as good as any I have eaten at home,
fnot excepting the famed southdown mutton ;)
and, in addition, there were various dishes or
dessert, fruits, &c., and everything scrupu
lously clean and neat, a matter not always met
with where they have black slaves, requiring
the constant eye of the master or mistress. 1
know 1 could not have as good a table in Lon
don for five pounds a week. Theonlydraw
baek is, that you are compelled to sit witn
thirty or forty persons, who, though usually
gentlemanly in their demeanor, and very atten
tive, yet despatch their luxurious dinners with
a rapidity quite unworthy of rational beings
.bo W for eojoymeut. The *??<"???
fellow in his own way, and would no more
think of dining alone, if he could get into a
crowd, than he would lose an opportunity
making a dollar where ono offered. I believe
that it is this promiscuous mixing together
that renders them so polite to each other and
ho uniformly courteous to strangers. Washing
ton, though young, boasts of many bwutiful
buildings, numerous churches, and as
tels as any in the world."
An American Demonstration in London.?
The Americans the present industrial year have
distinguished themselves in a variety of wa ,8
iu the eyes of the mother country; and in honor
of the American gentlemen who were <connected
with the exhibition in the Crystal Palace Mr.
George Peabody, the princely banker of Lon
don, gave, on the 27th of October, a parting
dinner by way of patriotic celebration. Speeches
were made by Mr. Abbott Lawrence, the Amer
ican Minister, Sir Henry Bulwer, Earl Gran
ville, Sir Charles Fox, Sir Joseph P***0"'
designer of the great edifice Mr HiddeU ^
American Commissioner, and Robert J. Walker,
the ex-Secretary of the Treasury.
Sir Henry Bulwer, as usual, was excessiv y
happy in his efforts, as also was the Earl Gran
ville, who has made himself highly popular of
late by his kind and pointed acts of ^sp'tal^y
towards the Americans abroad. Among
crin.Hta were Sir Edward Lytton llulwer, J>lr.
Hockey, the president of the Bank of W^nd*
Baron de Speth, Mr. Corbin of ^ lrginia, William
Stansbury, the commissioner appointed by the
President of the United States, Genera Wal

Mr Davis, Secretary of Legation, H.n?y H?r
ard Paul, the editor'of ? The American Maga
zine " Martin Farquhar Tuppcr Hobbs, the
celebrated picklock, and some hundred and
H?,tv Others mostly American gentlemen, di
rectly interested in the business of the late ex
hibition The whole affair passed ol. with gr
enthusiasm and this interchange of national
feeling will lead to happy and important re
suits.?London Globe.
