The climate of the New England States is
remarkably dry when compared with Ger
many, and most parts of Europe. Many
differences, arising from this cause, are no
ticed bv foreign artisans when they settle in
Massachusetts. Here, painters can finish
their work in a much shorter time j cabinet
makers use much thicker glue; watch
makers use animal instead of vegetable
oil; European furniture, when imported,
does not wear well; stimulants are much
more exciting to the physical system.
Foreigners lose flesh, and become habitu
ally thin; the nerves are stimulated.
All nations living in a dry air tend to a
thinness of flesh: in a moist air, to corpu-
lencv. This must necessarily have, a strong
influence upon the decenclants of huglisl)
cattle, when bred here, as we find it has.

New Patent you making Nails. There
has recently been invented and put into
practical operation in this city, a new ma
chine for making cut nails, the great pecu
liarity of which is that it is self-feeding,
and will manufacture in a given time nearly,
if not quite as many again nails as any other
known process, and that one man, (as it is
claimed,) with the assistance of a boy, will
operate ten machines. There is also a great
saving in iron, there being a waste of only
abouti quarter of an inch in 10 feet, which
i the length of the sizes of iron placed in
the machine at one time. It has been shown
that one machine will manufacture from 300
to 350 nails per minute, all of which are
perfect in form and finish. The cost of the
machine is $2oQ. The inventors are Vm.
Fitzpatrick and Joseph Her, two practical
nailers, for many years in the employ of the
Albany Iron and Nail Works Company, in
this city. A patent has been secured for
the United States, and measures been taken
to obtain a patent in Great Britain and the
Canadas. Troy Whig.
This is given as a personal description of
the Czar :
"lie is taller by a head than most of his
courtiers, while the outline of his form is
perfect, lie is robust and muscular. The
head though somewhat too small in propor
tion to the rest of his body, is still in keep
ing with his broad chest. The usual expres
sion of his face would suit a statue. A
fixed severity and consciousness of majesty
are the predominant characteristics. This
expression certainly sometimes assumes a
more friendly aspect ; but it does not appear
in the eve. winch seldom beams kindlv
while the mouth never smiles. The latter
feature, indeed, is regularly formed, but the
sharp, thin lips indicate austerity and harsh
ness. No sensuality is observable there, nor
in any part of the lower lace; neither do
those lips tell that they have Veen used to
give, utterance to words of mildness, while
the corners of the mouth betray too plainly
contempt of men, and a reserve that never
spoke a word in the fullness of confidence.
The overhanging eyelashes lend to his phys
ique something lurking, even in simple, con
versation. When angry, his eyes glare terri
bly ; but they have no brightness for softer
emotions. The finely chiselled nose runs
straight down from the high forehead, de
noting, according to physiognomists, an in
capacity for self-denial."
The Sixth Commandment. A capital
point was made by one of the counsel for
the prosecution at the trial of Matt. Ward,
in answer to Tom Marshall's allusion to
Matt. Ward's travels and his visit to Mount
Sinai, where God delivered the law to Moses.
The counsel wondered if the prisoner, when
amidst the sublimities of Sinai, where he
indulged in a profusion of sacred senti
ments, had ever read in the Decalogue,
" Thou shnlt not hill ! '

St. Paul, Minnesota, has now 708 houses
and 4,700 inhabitants. It began to be A
village in 1818.
Another New State. A bill to provide
for the admission of Oregon into the Union
as a State, has already been reported in the
U. S. House of Representatives, and the
legislature of Oregon has taken the prelimi
nary steps towards calling a convention to
form a constitution. This is looking to the
admission of Oregon as a State in 1855, by
which time it is presumed there will be the
requisite amount of population in the terri
tory to entitle it to the new honors to which
it is now aspiring. The Oregonians are thus
calculating upon a rapid growth by acces
sions of population from the Atlantic States,
which may not be fulfilled. The emigration
overland this season does not appear to be
very large in fact, Nebraska absorbs the
attention of emigrants. When the census
of 1850 was taken the population of Oregon
was 13,294. A territorial census recently
taken shows it to have a population amount
ing to over 40,000, -or an increase of nearly
27,000 in three years, or about 148 per cent.
This is in the ratio of about 46 per centum
per annum, which would be entirely inade
quate to swell the aggregate, of population to
over 90,000 in a single year. However, we
presume the Oregonians think there is noth
ing to be lost by agitating the subject, and
perhaps they think also that as the admis
sion of a new State is always delayed un
necessarily, they will have their delay before
hand.
