The ten hour bill, as it came from the Senate, passed the House on the 27lh ult., by a large ma jority. As friends of the rights of labor, we are gratified at the passage of .this bill. It provides that ten hours shall constitute a day's work in cot ton, woollen, silk, paper, bagging and flax facto ries ; that if any employer or owner of such facto ries employ a minor more than ten hours a day, he shall pay $50 fine, one half to the party employed; and that after the fourth of July next, no minor shall be admitted into such factories under twelve years of age. The provisions of the bill are wholesome, and will lend greatly to ameliorate the condition of the minors who are employed as factory operatives. The Charlestown (Ya.)

A letter received at Horieedale, Pa., announ ces the death of Jonathan Salmon, second mate of'the ship Arabella, of Sag Harbor, who was killed by a whale, off the Southwest coas't of South America, on the 8tb of December last. He was in the act of lancing a whale, when ihe boat was struck by a sudden blow, with suci force as to ihrow him into the water. He, however, regained the boat, -and was in the act of getting into it when the whale struck him again and instantly killed' him. The- accident happened on the day the deceased was, twenty - etght years old. t The glorious tidings by the Caledonia of the complete and orderly establishment of Democ racy in France is received by our citizens with general and lively gratification. Among jhe reasons for ihe universal joy, the following acs prominent : I. The new Revolution was effected -with very little bloodshed. A monarchy combining j in a high degree all the physical elements ol power, including Four Hundred Thousand of ihe finest' troops in Europe, One Hundred Thousand oCthem stationed in and aroundParis, with its immense Fortifications, with all the cannon, catridges, and nearly all the swords and fire-arms of any kind within reach, has been overthrown in its own capital by the day laborers of that capital, unarmed, unskilled, un directed. On one side were able generals, the prestige of authority, and all the costly and powerful machinery of scientific warfare ; on the oilier, an unorganized, undisciplined multi tude, fired by love of liberty and indignant ai the perfidy of Louis Philippe. This multitude struggled on, scarcely knowing each other's resolution, entirely in tho dark as, to the result of their efforts, until the National Guards and even the troops of the Line were won over to their side, and from soldiers ashamed at the thought of discharging murderous volleys into an unarmed rabble, were transformed into citi zens warmly sympathizing with that rabble, and with them at all hazards the downfall of despo tism. Then melted into vapor the Throne of the Barricades before the fiercely indignant gaze of the men of the Barricades, and ihe new era of Freedom for Europb stood revealed to an astonished world. 11. There is no longer room to doubt the completeness of the Revolution. From no coro ner of France do we hear of a murmur of oppo'-' sition to the Republic or to the Provisional Government, of necessity so irregularly consti tuted until the People can elect new and true Representaiives of their wishes to establish a legitimate Government. On the contrary, tho Republic is proclaimed as fast and as far as the tidings of its establishment at Paris are con veyed by telegraph or otherwise, und all classes Peers, Deputies, Generals, Admirals, States men of all shades of opinion unite with the common people in hailing the new day-spring of Liberty, Equality, Fraternity. Beyond the late Royal Family and Ministry, we can hear of scarcely a fugitive from France on account of. the late Revolution; not one open contemner of it. III. The Revolution has been eminently humane. The whole number killed and wound ed during the eventful three days, iri alUParis, in consequence of the, Revolution is said to be less than five hundred ihe killed being less than one hundred. Who ever heard of a great victory of Royality over Liberty, in open and doubtful conflict, achieved with so small an ef fusion of blood ! We cannot hear that one in dividual has been harmed or endangered since the victory, because of his prior opposition, however deadly, to the popular cause; nor can we learn that one act of vengeance or of cruelty has. stained the laurels of the victors. On the contrary, the proclamation of a universal am nesty for Political offences and the utter aboli tion of Capital Punishment for such offences, mark the ascendency of a spirit of gentleness and humanity which Monarchy may vainly re trace its bloody annals to parallel. IV. The new Revolution is eminently 'prac tical in Jrs aims and tendencies. Universal Suffrage absolute Liberty of the Press Abo lition of all titular Nobility Abolition1 of Sla veryAbolition of Stamp' Duties establish ment of Banks of Discount in aid of the Nation al Industry the National Guard to be com posed of the whole people Reduction of the Hours of Hired Labor Abolition of Capital Punishments sale of the Royal Palaces for the benefit of disturbed or depressed Industry, and the conversion of the Tuileries into a hos pital for Working Men these are among the first fruits of the People's Victory. Who does not hope and trust that the noonday of French Liberty will fully justify the promise of Us glo rious morning ? V. The effect of the Revolution on that great majority of Europe which is still m fetters re mains to be seen. 1 hus fur, it would seem to' have been most salutary. In Bavaria a Con- hiitution has been extoned, apparently without bloodshed, from the .King by thp People of Munich; Italy, Prussia, Ireland, and even Aus tria are convulsed by tho astounding proclama tion of the French Republic. Italy and Ger many will very soon be two great Federal Re publics, in substance if not in name. There Have been turbulent gatherings in England anif Scotland, but with no clearly defined purpose andjn no formidable force: From Poland, we have as yet no advices ; but we trust her inde pendence and lhat of Ireland are among the necessary consequences of that of France. Yet we do not hope nor desire to hear thai an insurrection has broken out in either. Ireland must be free whenever her Millions really will it; she cannot be while her people are divided into miserable factions impelled by ihe most deadly hatred ol eacir other. She has but to be ready and speak, arid her chains must he shivered." Until she is ready, Insurrectionary outbreaks would be a wanton and culpable pro vocation to slaughter. When the time shall haye arrivedi-the'Liberty of .Ireland will cost j little bloodshed. A tingle cloud obscures the horizon of Re publican France. We do not fear a coalition' of despots against her so long as she preserves her freedom unimpaired; if their dear-bought experience did not suffice to warn them offthis rock, the poverty of their Finances, thepeirlof Revolutions at home, will' deter them effective ly. There may be wars, or rather hostile col lisions, growing out of premature attempts at revolution, but any serious, concerted effort 'overthrow Liberty in' France is too palpably chimerical to he undertaken, since Put and Castlcreagh are in their graves and Metternich a wretch and a shadow. The flay for govern ing Europe by Holy Alliances is past. But ihe Finances are the present difficulty f aitie! Webster, On the 23d ult. made a speech in the Reflate, on the loan bill. It was one of his mightiest efforts and in comparison with his great pro eductions the'speeches q all other public men and the deraugemeilt of Business the real dan-; in the country seem weak and little, work. In ger of the French Republic. For several vears the Receipts into the French Treasury have fallen far below tho Expenditures ; now comes a season of uncertainty and apprehension, which must diminish the income while tending to 'in crease the demands upon it. It will be fortu nate for Franco if the falling off in 1818 as compared with 1847 is not fully ten per cent. Many odious taxes have been already abolished modified, while none can be safely imposed ; and ihe Funds have so fallen that a new loan is virtually impossible. What shall be done ' If regenerated France has but jthe courage and foresight gradually to disband her Standing Ar my, trusting to her Five Millions of National Guards fur Protection; and to abolish so much of her Police as is occupied mainly with espi onage into Political movements and opinions, her initial difficulty may soon ba obviated. As of lhat which threatens her on the side of Bti-i siness and Industry but we leave that for a separate article. iV. Y. Tribune. Embezzlement, Forgery, si n d Fraud. A cas'e of embezzlentent of very considera ble magnitude has just come to light in the city of New York. Marvin McNultv, the con fidential clerk of Messrs. Vyse &' Sons, silk merchants of that city, has absconded, after having embezzled from and defrauded his em ployers to a very large extent -so much, ac cording to some reports, as $75,000 or $100,000, while Messrs. Vyse themselves say they have discovered to the extent of $28,000. The mo dus operandi was sending goods to auction and pocketing the proceeds without the knowledge of Messrs. Vyse ; receiving the sums due upon acceptances and not, accounting for thetri ; in one case altering a check ; and borrowing sums of money from every one'who would lend as many persons, since his departure,' have come to inquire for 3300, $500, $600, &c. which he had borrowed front them. The first suspicion Messrs. Vyse had that all was not right was on' Friday last, when they questioned Mr. McNulty with regard to some transactions. The next morning he did not present himself at the sjore; but a note arrived stating, that he would consult with his friends, and see Mr. Vyse again on Monday. Soon after a messenger arrived from his residence, stating lhat he had not been at home all night, and his family were afraid he had met with some accident. It turns out that he had sailed on Saturday for Matanzas, unde'r an assumed name. The fugitive is a widower, and left four children behind him. his efforts there is, so to speak, an omnipotent power of talk which no other orator approach- Two declarations made in this speech will attract general-notice. The first is that he would not vote to ratify any treaty whereby ter ritory would be acquired ; .and the second is, that while there is reason to believe, as now, that a treaty of peace will soon he concluded he will not vote to increase the military force. Prayer in Paibiic Bodies. The daily meetings of the General Assembly, during the preHmt session, have been opened by prayer, the resident clergymen at Harrisburg officiating alternately... At no. former .session, have the meetings of the Legislature been Com menced with religious observances. A shipment of apples has been made from the United Stales to China, to which country lhat fruit had never before been transported. Strawberries are said to be abundant in Sa vannuh. TJJj3 At a review of 1G0.0U0 troops, lately, in Russia, the Emperor said, "This is not mere theory. In two years, I will lead these troops to glorious conquest. I atn not pleased with mv neighbors."-' Practical Joking. A wag in" a country bar-room, where each man was relating the wonderful tricks thev had seen performed by Sig. Blitz, and the rest of the conjuring family, expressed his comtempt for the whole tribe, declaring thai he could per form any of their tricks, especially the one of breaking a watch in pieces and restoring it whole. At once several watches were pro duced' for the experiment. He selected ihe best, put it into a morter and pounded away "There are the pieces!" "Yes!" all ex claimed ; " now let s see the watch. He used various mysterious words, shook up the frag ments, and at length threw down tho contents, of the mortar, observing, " Well. I thought I could do it, but by George f can't !" The loser of the watch betraying a desire to pound' him he very soon departed. A Heavy Estate. The Lebanon Courier says ihe real estateof Thomas R. Coleman, deceased, has been ap praised at four hundred and eighty-five thousand dollars. It comprises Cornwall and Colebrodk Furnace, with the invaluable Ore Bank of Corn wall ; Castle Fin, Speedwell, Hopewell and Spring Forges, with about thirty thousand acres of land, situated hi the counties of Lebanon, Lancaster, York, Adams, Dauphin and Berks. The personal property of this estate is, we un stand, equal in value to the real. A"Washing(on letter in the N. York Tribune has this passage : And now look at the Loco Foco 'party as' they stand. They have rung the changes on ihe dangers of foreign iuterfeience on thjs Conti nent, on the enormity of having foreign capital ists hold stock in our banks, &c&c, till echo has grown hoarse with the repetition. Now thpy receive and ratify a treaty diclated by Briiih influence, and they rejoice that the RothchiUls have taken our loans. St), -the " hon orable, Pe,ace" wo have gained is consummated by paying Mexico $20,000,000 for, a Province that was independent before we went to war and England lends us money 10 pay for the hatd bargain which she has dictated to us. XS' A hill has past the Senate of this State, abolishing Militia trainingvntid imposing a tax of 25 cents on each individual subject to mili tary duty, to be applied to' the eitjLMnir aliment of volunteer companies, v The French Throne. A gilded chair, covered with velvet, and the letters " L. P." (Louis Phillippe) on the back, surmounted by a golden crown, ,con-tituted the ihrone of France, which the people destroyed in ftont of the palace on the 24th of February. Escape of iLouis Phillippe. Louis Phillippe in his flight from Paris had so little time for preparation that he departed with only one five franc piece in his pocket. A Paris correspondent of the Newark Adver tiser says The King during his flightwas disguised in such a manner that even his most intimate friends could scarcely recognise htm. He wore the dress of a common laborer, and having his whiskers removed and his face grimined, pre sented a sorry figure for a king. As soon as he stepped on shore in England, he expressed his gratification in exclaiming, " Thank God I am on British soil ! I am safe now? 1 know I am safe now " The National says : " The flight of Louis Phillippe was marked by an incident which dues too much honor lo the spirit ofour popu lation for us not to be desirous to mention it. At the moment at which the ex-King escaped from the Tuileries", by the gate of the Pont Tournament, lo reach the little carriage which was wailing for him, he was surrounded bv the people, who Ijad precipitated themselves on' his passage. The second regiment of Cuirassiers, which was stationed in the Place de la Con corde, hastened to protect his person ; bill in the situation of things it was powerless to re move him from the vengeance of the people. However this brave regiment, which did not, and would, not make ue of its arms, endeav ored to facilitate the passage to him. An offi cer, seeing ihe peril, cried,," Gentlemen, spare the King !" to which a Stentorian voice in the crowd answered, " we are not assassins let him go !" " Yes ! Yes ! let him go ! became the general cry. The people had been too brave during the combat not to be generous after ihe victory." Escape of the ministers. The Mode says : " M. Guizot escaped on the evening of February 23, from his hotel by a back door and sei out in a cabinet-courier caleche for Calais, where he has, it is supposed, embarked for London, the same evening, M Delessert left the Prefecture of Police in dis guise. About 10 o'clock the same night, M Hebert quitted the Chancellery by tho door of the Rue Neuve du Luxembourg. He sent sev eral times to the Etat-Major and to the Chateau to demand a reinforcement of troops. He com plained boih in his own name and in lhat of MM. Duchatel and Guizot, of having been so gravely led into' error by the Minister of War and Gen. Sebasliani as in' the feeling ofilite ar my. The Ministry loudly attributed lo Louis Phillippe the responsibility of all the measures of rigor which had been adopted." A Revolution Matron Gone. Died in Niiw Prospect, Bergen county, N.

It should be remembered that colds, coughs, consumptions, inflammation of the lungs, pleurisy, and many other fatal disor ders, are often the result of catching cold, in con sequence of wet feet, damp clothes, &c. Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills are undoubted ly the best medicine in the world for carrying off a cold, because they purge from the system those morbid humors which, when lodged in various parts of the body, give rise to every malady inci dent to man. A few of these Pills taken every night on going to bed, always afford relief, and, if their use be persevered in, a radical cure will be the result. Beware of Sugar Coated Counterfeits.
