Bucbdi Pasha had been appointed (Irani! Vizer, and Ali Pasha had succeeded him as President of the Tanzimat. It was be lieved that Kibrisli Pasha would soon be reap pointed Grand Vizer. The new Grand Vizer had dispatched a note to th? Powers, expressing his approval of the Suez canal scheme, should they come to an understanding on the subject. ITALY. A letter from Rome, in the Paris Patrie, says that the Sardinian Government had declared to the Holy See that the enrollment of Ger man voluuteers, for the Papal array would be In violation of the principle of non-interven tion, and had threatened, should these enroll ments be continued, to dispatch Sardinian troops into the Legations. AUSTRALIA. The Melbourne mails of November 17th had arrived in England. The markets were overstocked, and some forced sales had been made at depreciated prices. The eight-hour movement in the labor mar ket was spreading, aud great numbers were on the strike. The O'Shaughnessy ministry hud been de feated in Parliament by a majority of thirty nine votes, and forthwith resigned. A few ' ministry had been formed by Mr. Nicholson. Accounts from the gold fields are satisfacto ry. Abundant rains had given rise to renewed activity. A ministerial crisis had alsooccurred atSyd-' n. y, New South Wales, and a change of "the Cabinet waa tbe result. Mr. Forster headed the new ministry. An extensive failure had taken place at Mel bourne—that of a provision contractor, named Graham, ior __fc_,_tii*. INDIA. The Bombay mail of the tSth December had reached England. TheGovernorGeneral, accompanied by Lord Clyde and a splendid retinue, had made a pro gress through the Northwest Provinces, in or der to acknowledge in tbe most conspicuous manner, and to reward munificently the ser vices of those native Princes, who, during the rebellion, remained faithful to the British Crown. Mr. Wilson, the new Chancellor of the In dian Exchequer, had arrived out at Calcutta. The expedition of troops from India to China was not expected to sail before next March.

Action of Louisiana.—A series of impor tant resolutions on Federal Relations passed the Legislature of Louisiana on the l-th in stant. They are in substance as follows : The resolutions regard the Harper's Ferry aliair as au attack by the North upon the rights of the entire South. They declare that Louisiana will stand by Virginia at all haz ards, in case of another invasion of her territo ry; they regard 1 lie expression ofsympathy for Jno. Brown by Northern men,as evidence of a deep-seated hostility at the North towards the constitutional rights of the South, anil declare that the election of a Black Republican Pres ident next fall will be sufficient cause tor the dissolution of tbe Union. The resolutions also recommend the appro priation of t-8.880, to tie given to the State of Virginia to aid iv defraying the expenses of that State in fighting the battles of the South; and provide that.iv the event of the election of a Black Republican Presideut, the Governor shall order an election of delegates to represent Louisiana in a Sou them Cou van tion, and toco operate with other States in taking such steps as the circumstances of the case and the posi tion of the country require. Fugitive Slave from Harpers Febby at Auburn.—A fugitive slave from Harper's Fer ry came into Auburn yesterday, on his way to Canada. While walking about he strolled into one of our restaurants, and there, to his sur prise, he saw quietly eating oysters a United Stales Marshal from Harper's Ferry. The marshal, on seeing the lugitive, arose, and patting him on the shoulder, called him by name, and asked him what he was doing in Auburn. The made an incoherent re ply, when the jnarshal immediately haft. The negro went into the street, and saw the mar shal, in company with two others, rapidly ap proaching the restaurant. The negro imme diately took to his heels, but the marshal failed to pursue him, probably not wishing to attract aueuHon. Tbe marshal lived within three doors of the fugitive at Harper's Ferry, and was perf. ctly well known to the latter. Whether the marshal was in pursuit of the fugitive, or engaged in summoning witnesses for the Senat» investigation Committee, aud met the fugitive by merest chance, is unknown. The marshal and his men have not beeu seen since yesterday in Auburn. The fugitive, it is understood, was the slave who guided John Brown into the arsenal at Harper's Ferry. The affair hes created considerable excitement among several prominent abolitionist* of this city, who were made familiar with tbe cir cumstauce*.—Auburn (N. V.) Ado . Jan. Vs.

Mr. Douglas, ta commencing his Bpeech in die Henat*,os Monday, read the correspon dence between the Governor of Virginia and the president in last November, in which tbe former atntss that he has evidence to show that a conspiracy has been formed in Ohio and other free State* to rescue John Brown, and the latter replies that be fine's no power in tbe Constitution to act upon. The Senator took the ground that it waa th* duty of Congress to pass laws giving tbe President power to use the naval and military forces of the Gov ernment to repel invasions between different States, and also to make it criminal to enter into conspiracies or combinations in any State or Territory, with intent to invade a State, or molest or disturb its government, its peace, it* citizens, its property, or its institutions—such offences to be punished by indictment in the United States Courts, and confinement in the prison* or penitentiaries of the State or Ter ritory wbere the conspiracies might be formed. He said the Harper's Ferry crime waa the nat ural, logical, inevitable re ult of the doctrines and teachings of the Republican party. In the House of Representatives/Mr. Barks dale, of Miss, made a speech on the subject of organization. There were, he said, on the floor, four organizations. The Democrat", South Americans andatiti-Lecomptonites, all profesa to stand in an attitude of opposition to the Republicans. Was it not, then, the duty oftbesethree to unite on broad, comprehen sive, national principles to defeat tbe Repub lican nominee for Speaker I The Democrats had manifested every disposition to unite these elements, until their spirit of concilia tion has been exhausted. He said he could not vote for Mr. Gilmer, who had been pre sented by the South Americans; he could vote for no man who commended himself to the consideration of the Republican party. He had nothing to say as to Mr. Gilmer's loyalty to the South, but was opposed to his political conduct. Rather than the candidate of the Republicans should be elected--he receiving not one vote from fifteen States of this L T nion— rather than hi. State and section should be dishonored b*«lrt<ch an election, he (Mr. Barksdale) would repeat the declaration of the gentleman from Alabama, (Mr. Pugh,) let discord reign here forever. He then proceeded to trace the origin, pro gress, arid present attitude of tbe slavery question, which prevents an organization of the House; aud after some conversational de bate, closed by saying that the people ol the South knew their rights under the Constitu tion, and ware resolved, at all hazards, and to the last extremity, to defend them. Iv the event of a dissolution of the Union, the South would have nothing to fear. Mr. Corwin, of Ohio, made a speech of an hour, in the course of which he indulged in considerable humor, and expressed his sur prise that the nation should be convulsed about the mere question of the election of a Speaker. In other matters of joint interest he could not conceive that any body of men would sit together six weeks and not determine who should be their Chairman—who should have the honorjto sit|like -'a woodpecker tapping the hollow beech tree.' He went into a grave ar gument, introduciugmany historical incidents to show that the Fathers of the Republic, who directed the early legislation of the country, had some knowledge of what they were doing, and understood the bearing of tbe Constitu tion framed by their own hands. It was only in 1854 that Congress omitted, in the govern ment of the Territories, to reserve the right to revise, approve, or reject the legislation of the Territorial Legislatures. At I o'clock the House adjourned, without taking a vote for Speaker. The Disturbances in Venezuela.—A let ter dated Puerto Cabello, Jan. 10, says: On the 30th ult., the gang of negroes headed by the black General, Guerara, stationed la Meron, a village about live leagues from this port, and who has kept this population in continual alannjhras attacked by the Consti tutional troops Tiy land and sea; the black General having had six months to fortify him self in,erected strong barricades, and the gov ernment troops were beaten off. On the :ilst they again attacked him with the same unfor tunate result. On the l*tsof January, some fresh forces haviugarrived from Valencia, they again returned and took the village; but un luckily. Gen. Guerara and his gang all escaped without the loss of a man, making towards Aqua Negra, farther down the coast. A mors favorable result would have been obtained if Cemaaaadact Yaagnirra, who had orders irom the government to attack Guerara in tbe rear, on the:itith ult., had arrived on that day in stead of the-Jiith, when the enemy only having to attend to bim, beat him back by throwing out BBihaararttai for two leagi.es, by which the advancing troops were shot down from before and behind, without having even the satisfac tion of seing one of their enemies. Tbe Com mandant Adolfo Olivo, Guerara's mortal ene my, (a younger brother having been murdered by that gang,) is pursuing him and his follow ers. This is a most determined man and will do everything to lay hands on Guerara. He has taken from a ran'-ho oa the mountains, Guerara's correspondence, which Compro mised several parties here. It is impossible to say when this country will lie in peace. No sooner is one taction pat down when another arises, burning, plundering and murdering lik< Sepoys. Description of Realf.—The Washington States speaks as follows about Realf, Brown's "Secretary of State, - ' who is now before the Harper's Ferry lnvestigiting Committee: Richard Realf, who was born in England about twenty-five years ago, is a very goodai.d resolute looking man, about five feet four inches high, with dark eyes, and rather long black hair, beard and moustache. He says that us soon as the "Brown foray" was heard of in Texas, it being known that he had been connected with Brown in some of lm schemes, there was much excitement and some threats toward him personally, but tbat all that has now died away, and he claims to have in Texas now, where tie resides, more true friends than in any other portion of the world, lie expresses his perfect abhorrence of the Har per's Ferry matter, of which he knew nothing until it appeared in the papers, and gives "Old Brown"' credit for truthfulness and sir cerity of purpose, contrasting him strongly iv this respect with Col. Hugh Forbes—very much to the disadvantage of the latter.— Realf's ideas ou tbe subject of slavery, since his residence in Texas, have undergone a radi cal change, and at the present moment it has no more ardent supporter than he He is perfectly untrammelled in his movements, aud except in the mere name of the thing, is not iv custody. _ French Rifled Cannon.—The following description of the French Rifled Ob a 808, used by Louis Napoleon with so decided efl'ect in his late Italian campaign, and particularly at Solferiuo, is translated from Li Constitution, published in Yonne, France : "These guns are bronze four pounder, (dia meter of the bore:i-3ib in.; weight of gun. Mi lbs.) lighter than the other field-pieces. They have six deep grooves, and haveachamber like the Delvigne ride, or the old pattern howitzer. The projectile rests against the junction of the bore and the chambers. It is made of cast iron, cylinder conoidal in shape, similar to the in fantry musket ball, and is hollow at its base or rear end. The cylindrical part of the ball is bored and tapped in six places, to correspond with the six grooves of the gun, and short tin plugs are inserted into these holes. These plugs are forced out into the grooves by the pressure of the gas, and give the ball the rota ry motion and accuracy of the rifle ball. The projectile is sometimes made hollow aud filled with musket balls, and is exploded at the de sired distance, by means of a fuse which is cut at the proper point, according to the time re quired for the explosion. A movable sight is attached to the right side of the gun. The flring is accurate to _,Ikai yards, aud the ex treme range is said to be t% miles." Sad News from the West.—The new* by the Overland mail, brought by telegraph v day or two since, included some melancholy tidings from the region known as Carson Val ley, located in western Utah, on tbe verge ol California, nnd constituting the inchoate Ter ritory of Nevada. The cold in that quarter had beer, intense, aud, to add to the distress of the people, there was a scarcity of provisions, consequent, no doubt, upon the gieaat rush thitber of emigrants from California to avail themselves of the silver and gold mines.— There must, also, have been there many over laud emigrants with ibeir stock, for we read in the telegram tbat tbe number of cattle win tering in ihe valley east of tbe mountains was estimated at $tXAn*\ and many of these were starving from the scarcity of bay. This (says the Philadelphia North American,) is getting to be pretty much tbe usual result of any great discovery of gold in our country. Thousands rush heedlessly to the mines, without tbe re. quisite preparation, half-provisioned, and de pending on fortune to help them through. Next summer or spring this will all be reme died in Nevada, the productiveness of tbe miues being ascertained and the inducements to emigration no longer debatable. AnotbkbSta-Ifbdbob Students.—Twen ty-five Southern students left Philadelphia for their homes on S-tuiday. They bad bsea ai teuding lecture* at oneof the principal medi cal colleges, and. It is said, became displeased at ths course of some ot tbs professors. It was further rumored that a meeting of other disaffected one* was held on Friday evening aud they re* jived to leave the college and re. I turn to their home* somstime during this Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatoh. The New Railroad Schedule —t'ompmrioa en UU Canal — Tobacco, fc. Ltbcbb.bg, Va., Jan. .4. Tbe following schedule ba* been adopted or the officers of tbe Railroads between Wash* ington city and Knoxville, Term.: Cars ma nine; in connection with those on tbe Lynch hunt and Alexandria road, going West, leave Washington at fl A. H.; leave Lrr.chburff at 4 -'-5 P. M.; leave Bristol at 4ttA. M ; arrive at Knoxville at 11.45 P.M. Coming East, leave Knoxville at 0.20 A. M.; leave Bristol at 4_30 P- M.; leave Lynchburg at 4.27 A. M.; arrive at Washington at 3 P. M., Washington time. This schedule goes iato effect oa Sunday next, ttili i ns unit. In my communication of the 20th mat., it was stated that tbe meeting of the Railroad officials adjimmed without coming to any de finite conclusion. 1 intended to have stated thiit they adjourned over, t,e. Several of 'hem tirestili in this city, and meet from day today. Such little blunders frequently occur in the Lvnchburg correspondence of late, and are in.-iiniy caused by the hurried manner in which it U written—the writer seldom having time to read the letters over before they have to be mailed, in consequence of the early hour of closing the Richmond mail in this city. C mpetition between the packet lines on the James River and Kanawha Canal Is so great that one of the lines transports passenger* from this city to Richmond, for 81.75, while another charges only >o cents. A great denl of common tobacco was miide in this vicinity during the past year, the quantity ot which is larger in proportion than lor any previous year. The receipts have in creased since last market report, with little or no change in prices, being chiefly .confined to the lower grades. The weather has been so delightful for sev eral days past that your correspondent can not refrain from alluding to tbat inexhaus tible topic. O. X Tbb I.ate Lord Maca.lav.—Lord Ma caulay was tobiive been buried in Westmins ter Abbey. Tbe sexton of tbe Dean Chapter whs busy on the rid instant, opening a grave for tbe great historian, not with kings and knights of the garter, not even with Stephen sou or Talfurd, but in Poet's corner, the south transept of the Abbey. He will Le at the foot of Addison's statue, and close to the grave of Isaac Barrow, one of the great Trinity of Cam bridge men, Macaulay'sowu college. Thehis toriau will not lie off Camden—almost the father of English history— not far from wha remains of May, the historian of the Long Parliament, and near to the remains of John son, Garrick, Sheridan, and Griffon!, the Tory editor of the quarterly Review. He will lie facing the statue of the poet ol "The Pleasures of Hope," at whose funeral the noble historian helped to bear the pall. The Uth instant was the day fixed for the funeral. Enlargement ok Paris.— On the morning of January Ist, the whole circumference ot Paris stepped out a mile and drew within its embraces three hundred thousand new inhabi tants. Paris now contains a population of a million and a half. When completed the new city will be thirty miles in circumference, with ninety-two gates. The old octroi wall is to be converted into a boulevard and planted with trees, and will constitute the largest street in the world. The people living between the old and new wall have been accumulating for some time great quantities of wine aud other articles subject to city tax, with a view of being provided for years after they are an nexed to the city with articles that have escap ed the octroi. This evasion of the law has awakened the attention of the authorities, but there teems to be no remedy for it. The city revenue will be largely diminished the first year by this ingenious dodge of the law. An Opclknt Planter.—Mr. Burnside, a merchant of New Orleans, who, twenty-five years ago, was a dry gocris clerk iv Virginia, receiving fifty dollars per month,has recently purchased a sugar plantation in St James' Parish, La., for 591K.80.. There are some 7,!KK) orS,(Km acres in the tract. Mr. Buru- slaves now number over a thousand.— Three years ago he purchased the magnificent Houmtis estate, with _ome five hundred slaves, from Col. John Preston, the cost of which, with additions of negroes and lands, exceeded a million of dollars. Arrest.—W. C.Nicholls, formerly of Brooke county, Va., has been arrested at Wellsburg, on a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses tor the location of land warrants.— The crime was committed some two years ago, and proceedings were instituted against the party some months since, which resulted iv his arrest and imprisonment in Illinois, and in the recovery of a portion of the plun der. Ho recently came bach to Virginia and .was arrested a» above stated, and c.nnmitted i for trial. He is respectably connected. A Day or State Conventions.—The 22d ot February, the anniversary ot the birth of Washington, will be a great day this year for the holding of State Conventions. The Oppo sition Cmvention of Teaaesses will meet in Nashville, the Democratic Convention oi lowa will meet in De? Moines, the Democratic i.'on veution of Michigan will meet in Detroit; the Whig Convention of North Carolina will meet in R.-iteicrh ; the People's Party ConveatVOß of Pennsylvania will meet in ilarrUburg; the Opposition Convention ofVirgima wul meet in Richmond, and the Republican Convention of Indiana will meet in Indianapolis. AFaithfil Don.—Kaufholtz, who was shot in Chicago last week, by his partner, Wil liams, iv a fit of jealousy, is slowly recover ing. His life is own g. probably, to thti faith fulness of his dog, which, when Williams at tacked his master, sprang upon him with a fe rocity which finally compelled Williams '•> make a hasty exit. Had it not been for the dog, Williams would most undoubtedly have killed 'inn, as he was most intensely enraged at the time, and expressed a deep regret af terward, when informed that.the wounded man would recover. l!iR.\T to Death.—Mrs. Walter was fatal ly burned in Oswego couii'y, N. V., last week. When at work by the stove tbe draft took her clothing against the red hot grate. In the twinkling of aa eye she was enveloped in a shivt of Haiue, ai.ii was so badly burned that she only lived long enough to make known tbe manner in which the met her pauilul death.— The immediate cause of the fatal accident was the amplitude of her skirts, which being inflated by hoops, was readily brought in con tact with the stove. Kansas Abb airs.—l_iteradvices from Kan sas say that the Territorial Legislature assem bled at Lecompton on Friday in conformity with the s;»ecial proclamation of (toy. Medary, and immediately passed a resolution adjourn ing to Lawrence. The Governor vetoed the res olution, but the Legislature immediately re passed it by ix vote ol nine to three in the coun cil, and twenty-nine to eight in the assembly. Taking Advantage of Leap Year.—The ladies in Concord, N. IL, are taking advantage of Leap Year, aud are giving a rapid rate. At a party at a Music Hall, Monday evenin., says the Democrat: "The gentlemen were served, waited upon,and treated with a 'degree of elegant gallantry which made tbem well nigh wish all years might be Leap Year.' Nebraska.—From the Nebraska Republi can, of the 11 th inst., we learn tbat the biil ior a Convention to adopt aStateConstitution.pre paratory to the admission of Nebraska into the Union as a State, has passed both Houses of the Territorial Legislature, and been signed by the Governor. Legislative Jollification.—The mem bers ot the Tennessee Legislature arespendiug asocial week with the Kentucky Legislature, at Frankfort. The two bodies will visit Cin cinnati, where, it is thought, they will be met by tbe Ohio Legislature. What a jolly time the old fellows will have. Explosion _b Newark, N. J.—Last Tues day evening, an explosion took place in tbe old buildings of the Gaslight Company, in Newark, N. J , which demolished the portion of tbe building in which it took place. Mr. Hock, the foreman, who was buried in the ruins, was extricated seriously injured. Destructive Fire.—Oa tho night of the Kith iu_t., the nail factory connected with the Duuc.iunon Iron Work., Duucaiiuou, Pa., was destroyed by fire. Tbe main buildiug and six ty machines are a complete wreck. Tbe loss amounts to f_s,-00— insured in Philadelphia, where ths building is owned. Fatally Scalded.—A young dsughtor of Capt. Lewis D. D. Voorbeee, of Salem, Mass., tell iiit«> a tub of scalding water on Thursday last, and died on the following day. Capt. V. had juat arrived at home, as passenger, having had the misfortune to lose his vessel, and now a greater afttictiou has befallen bis family. Foolhabdy.—A man in Brooklyn, New York, lately made abet that he con Id hold his month live minutes over aa ordiuary gas burner, with the gas turned ou, but not ig nited.

Th* advantage* of ihi* machine have been clearly demonstrated by its intro duction into New Turk, Philadelphia, Balti more, and other cities; but if it had no other recommendation than the doing away with 'Ire companies in those cPies, the property holders and tbe eltisens generally would bo well repaid for their cost. In passing the large establishment of Messrs. Ettinobr a Edbond, on Cary street, yester day morning, we dropped in a moment, and waa surprised to find tbat tbey wereconstract ■Bg a "Steam Fire Engine," to fill a European order, and tbat it was rapidly approaching completion. After examining the drawings, we were shown the machinery in parts, antl were gratified to perceive that every piece was being linisned with the greatest nicety and ac curacy. This engine, or rather similar ones of itsai_e,will weigh aboutti.soo pounds,and when completed, will cost _:i,sno. It has a nine-inch cylinder, is of about twenty horse power, and will throw an inch stream _3_ feet horizontal ly, or 175 fe<»t vertically. It will throw two seven-eighth inch streams I6<> feet, can be managed by four men,and Is so constracted tbat in less tban ten minutes from ths time of an alarm, sufficient steam can be made to put il in operation. The advantages of these engines are so ob vious, that it is scarcely necessary to refer to them, in a city like Richmond three of these engines, (one stationed ou Shockoe Hill, one iv the middle ward, and one in the lower ward,) would be all that were necessary to protect it from fires, and as tbey weigh but a little more than a first-class hand machine, could be readily moved to scenes of conflagration when ever they occurred. Theenginenowbeingconstructedby Messrs. Ettinger A Edmund is the first one ever built in the South ; but we venture to say it will equal any of its class ever constructed any where. The workmen employed on It are the best to be bad, and ibe contractors have de termined to make it worthy of themselves and of the South. As soon as it is finished it will be thoroughly tested, and If not all they de sire, it will not be sent from their works.— They are prepared to supply the South with all sizes of fire engines, just as rapidly as they can build tbem, and it is to be hoped that no Soutbern city will send north of Richmond for any sort of engine or machinery that can be manufactured here. If tbe South wishes to become independent, she must enconrage "home industry," in its every branch, and thus build up in her midst manufactures and mechanism. Turn where we may, new evi dences of enterprise are visible, and new fac tories are going up; but to be successful, tbey must be encouraged and sustained, and to this end we invite the entire South to order their fire engines of Messrs. Ettenger A Edmond. Chester Shoe Factory. —The gentlemen engag ed in getting up stock for a large boot and shoe factory at Chester, ia Chesterfield county, will find no difficulty in securing all tiiemou eyed influence tbey may need, and can get thousands ol workmen "from the North, if they wish, to enter the factory as soon as it is erected. Indeed, Northern men of wealth and iuiluence, have proposed to purchase the stock, and identify themselves with the busi ness, but the great difficulty to progress seems , to be the conflicting schemes of tbe various parties. The most popular plan as yet sug gested, seems to be the one wbicb requires the erection of three factories, each to be used for the manufacture of different styles of work, and all to be under the management of one directory. To thia plan there are three ob jections—the first of which is, that a vast deal of the funds would be expended in buildings and fixtures. The next is, that the scheme would require an unnecessarily heavy outlay for the commencement of a new business.— And the third and greatest objectiou is, that the company would have to import from Mas sachusetts, (the hot-bed of abolitionism,) the very fanatics who are now warring against tbe South, and settle them down in the midst of a slave community, to corrupt ihem by their teachings. Instead oi investing a capital of SS_e,OM in the boot and shoe trade, let a com pany raise 9.0,(M8>, build a factory tor tbe man ufacture of coarse work, establish a tannery, and thus supply the farmers with what they need. Finer work may be introduced, as boys and girls may become instructed in the various brunches of shoe and boot making, and by stearlily increasing the capital as a de mand for it is created, the lapse of a few years will And the South supplying hpr own boots and shoes, made by Sjuthern workmen. Ne gro labor is now employed to some extent iv ■taking cor-e shoes, and if a factory were established and properly conducted, hundreds of them might be used to advantage in it. Ii seems to us that the tannery is also essential to tbe success of tbe plan, and if one cannot tie mide profitable here, it will certainly pay no where else. A fceiitlenian who has had experience in the shoe business, is nbont to digest a plan for an establishment, which he thinks will meet tbe views of capitalists, and as soon a» he has completed it, those favorable to it will be in vited to meet for action. Premiums to Pupils. —The scholars in the night school of the Virginia Mechanics' In stitute nro to have three premiums awarded to them at the close of the session, each of which will be a silver medal, with the name of the pupil, and for what the award la made. Punctuality, good behavior, and progressive studies are to be rewarded: and as every pupil has a right to compete. We presume it will be a difficult task for the teachers to determine which scholar combines the three qualities in the highest degree. This school ought toenecta great deal of good amongst the apprentice boys of tha. city, aud will doubtless do so if they are disposed to avail themselves of its advan tages. The teachers are untiring iv their ex ertions to impart information to tbe youth under their charge, and from this time to the close of the session the Committee of the In stitute will be in attendance, to render such aid as may be iv their power. Boys ueed never fear of learning too much that is useful and valuable, for when they grow to manhood they will soon find that tbey know comparatively little. Beg gar.* Choosing.— Not many days since a lady in this city was solicited for alms by a young beginner, and promised the beggar something if be would call upon her. Short ly after an imperative "rap" was heard at the front door, and a servant being dispatched to answer the summons, soon reported that the youth had culled for his present. Suppos ing that be would be glad to get whatever sbe could spare, she sent him a Spanish quarter. When the servant handed it to him, be eyed it for a second, and handed it back to the girl, directed her to take it to her mistress and get An American quarter in exchange.
