Fhe Duin: i Sis somewhat | whe of both pelitioal parties abeut this time, to cae O an excitement concerning their renpective et ten or the Presidency, are egregious failures. It is to be presumed, that this is principally owing to the | fact, that the public mind has been for the last two years, 80 accustomed to the strong excitement growing out of the delicate position of our foreign relations, that any mere domestic matter, is re- garded as comparatively of trivial interest. Among both native and adopted citizens, there appears to be, at this moment, much more anxiety about the affairs of Ireland, than as to the result of the next | Presidential election. i ; Thave before noticed the immense quantity ot business awaiting the action of Congress:—the Oregon bill, the California bill, the appropriation bills, the measures for carrying the treaty with Mexico into eflect, and the reduction of the army. it fs, now, the fixed determination of a majority ‘ot the Senate, at least, to remain in session until sil those measures shall have been fully acted upon, Allowinga reasonable time for the discus- sion of these measures, besides the host of small- er ones, claiming the attention of Congress, the session will, necessarily, be protracted until late in the fall; and yet Senators on both sides of the chamber, are, at present, employed in searching the public records for evidence against the candi- date of their opponents, to be used on the stump in the approaching campaign. ‘The absence of excitement in regard to General Taylor does not speak well for his success; but yet in the present chaos of parties, it is impossible to predict the result with any approach to certainty. On both sides the honest men form a very, small minority of those very much interested in the success of either. _ The slavery question will be made a test ques- tion in the election—at least it is the present dis- position of the majority to make it so, and for this pur the California ‘bill will be pressed forth- with. There can be no good reason for inserting an anti-slavery clause in the Oregon bill, for it is impossible slavery should ever exist there. It is, therefore, to be hoped the discussion will be post- poned until the California bill shall come up for consideration, so as to permit the Oregon bill to pass at once. *The premium obtained by the Secretary of the Treasury in the recent loan, is the largest ever ob- tained by this government, Under the circum- stances, it may be regarded as extraordinary. When Mr. Walker leaves the department it will be difficult to find a person to keep it at the high standard to which he has raised it. It must break down. It is full time there was another de- partment, combining the patent office, the Indian office, the land office, lighthouses, the coast sur- vey, and all such affairs that are foreign to the business of the several departments to which they are at present attached. It will be impossible to avoid doing this at the end of this Presidential term. GaLvignsis. Wasuineton, June 21, 1843. Items. The Senate had an early executive session to- day, and no matters of general interest were pub- licly considered. Mr. Niles introduced a bill providing for the establishment of the English penny postage (two cents) system in the United States. He would not urge the bill this session, but simply introduced it, with a view of eliciting the public judgment upon it against the next session. Mr. Niles is de- termined to leave the Senate with his colors, and those of Mr. Merrick, his predecessor in the post office, flying all over the ship. We wish him suc- cess. The Oregon bill lies over, awaiting the return of Mr. Douglass. The Senate appear to shrink from that Wilmot proviso, as from the handling of a porcupine. “ Crutchett’s long pole and lantern, on the top of the great dome of the Capitol has to come down. The workmen are fixing their ropes and tacklings for the purpose of removing the experiment. We are sorry Mr. Crutchett did not follow our advice last summer, by giving up that moonshine notion. But he would not. Of course we knew nothing; and so he went on. What has been the result? He has lost money; and asa truly scientific naan in the matter of gas lights, he has failed of that cre- dit to which he 1s entitled for his gas arrangements in the Capitol; and failed because of that bird-kill- ang ae that long pole and lantern. he sword presented by the citizens of Charles- ton, and the belt by the ladies of said city, are now to be seen in the library of Congress. The sword, the gold scabbard, and the belt, are ornamented with various devices appertaining to Oregon and California—manufactured by Ames, of Massachu- setts, and finished in the etchings, Xc., by a fi in Charleston. A beautiful present, and ‘a well- deserved one. Music at the President's grounds this afternoon. We shall perhaps, if not this evening, on some early occasion, send you a profile of this re-union, which will answer for the whole season. Wasurncton, June 21st, 1848. The Boundartes of Texas—A Struggle—Diploma- tic Intercourse—-The Medicine Bill—-Lieutenant Colonel Fremont. Last week a bill was reported from the Commit- tee on the Post Office and Post Roads, establish- ing certain post routes in the several States. Pro- vision was therein made for Texas, but it was not satisfactory to the representatives of that State, and, at their instance another clause was inserted. ‘yhe bill was ordered to be engrossed for a third eading ; but the true nature of the amendment being discovered, a motion was made to recon- ler the vote by which the bill was ordered to be grossed. ‘This question came up this morning. Mr. Vinton suggested a proviso, to the eflect that nothing contained in the bill shall afiect the boun- daries of new States which may come into the Union, and formed of territory juired by the re- cent treaty between the United States and Mexico. it will be recollected that Congress, several years ugo, extended the revenue laws and_ post office laws to Corpus Christi, beyond the Neuces, and this was quoted by the President of the United States as an argument that Congress had recog- nized our right of jurisdiction to the Rio Grande. With regard to the bill to which reference has been made, it was suspected that the amendment would affect even Santa Fe. in. New Mexico, and give occasion hereafter for insisting on the claim that that place belongs to Texas; and besides, it would be fixing, in a post route bill, the boundary of that State! The House refused to re-consider the vote by which the bill was ordered to be en- grossed, the speaker pro tem., (Mr. Burt) votin; in the negative, and making a tie which cause the question to be lost. “The — chairman of the post office committee (Mr. Gog- gin), preferred that the bill should be lost rather than passed with the objectionable amendment of the Texas representative, and moved to lay it on the table. By a vote of 91 to 104, the motion was disagreed to. The previous question was moved and seconded—100 to 87. The question recurred, “shall the main question be now put ?” which, it sustained, would bring the House to a vote upon the passage of the bill, the objecuonable amend- ment and all. Mr. White enquired if the bill had been engrossed. ‘The Speaker replied that it had not. Mr, White objected to the question being put. ‘The Speaker said that Mr. White was right, ac- cording to the rules; and so the House, by a vote of 100 to 87, determined. The subject was passed over until to-morrow, In the committee of the whole, to-day, the gene- ral appropriation bill being under consideration, Mr. Hilliard proposed several amendments, viz:— Instead of a charge «affaires at Aust a com- smissioner to China, and a minister resident at Con- stantinople, these officers to be changed to minis- ters plenipotentiary, with a salary of $9,000 attach- ed to each. This will invoive an increase ot expen- diture of only $10,500 over the money now paid. Mr. Hilliard also designs to change all the charges to ministers resident ; pay instead of $1,500 to be $6,000. He made an able speech in support of his amendments. ‘ The bill to prevent the importation of stufis call- ed medicines, came back from the Senate, and, without debate, the amendments were concurred im. Lieut. Col. Fremont is making preparations for his expedition towards Oregon and Upper Califor- nia, to complete explorations which were interrupt- ed by the war with Mexico. He will go on his own private account, and take with him twenty picked men. He will start early in July from this city, and will cross the Ro cky Mountains before the snows set in. The beautiful and highly inter- esting map of Oregon and Upper California, made by Mr. Preuss, from the notes and observations of the Colonel, is in the hands of the engraver, and the memoir to accompany it is nearly all in type. ‘This work will be worth more ‘than all the trash ordered by Congress during the present session, and will live, for years to come, as a monument to the skill of the young and dauntless adventurer ; and beside, the emigran‘s to our far- distant possessions will consider themselves his debtor for having pointed out to them the distances, the best places to wood, water, and search for tood, and for other information not to be procured Jrom any other source. fu j Md aid 4 harmony end a matter of course, Not so with the free soil, or white man’s resolution people. They do not coalesce so readily; and deducting their force from the two great parties, they seem to be steadily coalescing to an independent organization. Will they hold out? Will they go on? It will be for them to decide. General Cass has defined his attitude on the pro- viso. It is, non-interference. It is leaving the question to the inhabitants of the territories. That would de very well but for this impediment to the barnburners. In the interval to the organi- zation of anew territorial government by the peo- le on this question, the people of the South may rm a slaveholding nucleus—say, for instance, in California, Moreover, South Carolina and Ala- bama, claim that neither a territory, nor Con- gress, as the sovereignty of a territory, has any power over the question of slavery in a ter- ritory; but though it is open, and the terri- tory 1s open to all the citizens of all the States, and all their property until such territory be- comes a State, in which capacity alone it has jurisdiction over the question of slavery. The position of General Cass, then, does not satisfy Alabama, or South Carolina; but as far as it goes, itis aconcession which does not satisfy the Pr viso men_ of the North. It displeases them, be- cause it is a concession upon a question upon which the Ordinance party will admit of no con- cession. For us, or against us, is their idea. General Cass. does not then answer their demands. How is it with General Taylor? He is silent, and he is a slaveholder, and therefore equally unsatisfactory in the conjectures to be made of his real sentiments and intentions. From the platform of his Allison letter, he would sign a bill abolishing slavery in the District of Colum! ia ; but would also siga a bill on the same day establishing slavery in California. If, then, the declaration of Mr.Niles, in his letter to the Barnburners, amounts to any thing, it amounts to this: That the proviso party cannot sustain either General Cass or General Taylor, without disgracing their professions and_them- selves in the estimation of every body. Such is the opinion of the late mass meeting at Cincinna- ti. This meeting, more than any thing else, goes to show that while the party presses at the North are acting in obedience to their respective conven- tions, a very large proportion of the people are act- ing definitely upon the proviso, as. more impera- uve than the dictum of any convention, and as the paramount and pre-eminent principle of the cam- paign. All the Northern States have urged the provi- so upon Congress. We know of no exception. Some have done it unanimously, all by overwhelming inajorities, in their legislatures. There must be a strong, general, and fixed public sentiment on this question to produce such uniform expressions up- on it. Such appears to be the case. J Now, sir, were these State resolutions superced- ed by the action of the Baltimore and Philadelphia conventions? Does the non-interference policy adopted at said conventions change the popular sen- timentin the North to such an extent as to merge it into the doctrine of non-intervention? Such does not appear to be the case. On the other hand, while the presses, and the leaders of both parties are tardily coming in, and urging their respective candidates to the North, the sentiments of the North is heaving like a ground swell, under the apparent subsiding agita- tion upon the surface of the political salt lake. What, then, is the prospect? It is that we shall have one or two proviso tickets 1m the field, which may neutralize the North, as between General Cass and General Taylor, and throw the election into the House of Representatives. If the contest were simply between Gen. Cass and Gen. Taylor, the result would not admit of a doubt. But as between Gen. Cass, Gen. Taylor, and the Proviso, it does not admit of a doubt. It admits of three doubts :— 1. Will the proviso people be able to effect an organization, including whigs and barnburners ? 2. Or willeach faction be able to effect an o: ganization of its own ? 3. Without any organization of a joint or separ- ate ticket, will the provisoists vote for either Cass Until these questions are settled, we hold in abeyance all estimates of the probable vote of New England, New York, and Ohio, on the seventh ot November. 4 3 The Oregon bill, with the horrid appendage of the proviso, still lies on the table in the Senate. The case is urgent. The Indians have risen, and are in open war with the white settlers of Oregon; and mutual extermination is impending, and yet the billlies upon the table. The Senate stand ap- palled before it. They know not what to do. They know that Mr. Calhoun wil demand a spe- cifie decision. Even Hale may be disposed to drop the proviso upon this bill; but Mr. Cal- houn, appears determined) to make. it the question of the present session, from which there shall be no escape. Scarcely less important than the action of the proviso people in the North, will be the action of Congress upon this question, An impression 18, that the South will gain the day in Congress, upon the Oregon bill; but then there are the appropriations upon the treaty with Mexico, and the provisional governments for the territories acquired by said treaty. Patall these things together, and no man can countto a certainty upon either the election of Gen. Cass or Gen. Taylor, Another thing. We feel authorised to say that Mr. Clay will take no active part in this campaign. The whigs having dropped him, he will let them take care of themselves. He will make no_rati- fication speeches in support of Gen. Taylor, if we are correctly advised; and our information is from an intimate personal friend of Mr. Clay. We ex- pect to keep up our guerrillero warfi ter of the Presidency, without d. preferences. stinction of party Tue Docror. Baurmore, June 22, 1848. A Youthful Temperance Demonstration—The Old United States—Mr. Burton—Baltimore Barn- burners, §c. The cadets of temperance, composed of boys between twelve and fifteen years of age, a kind of initiatory sceool for the formation of full grown Sons of Temperance, had a grand parade yester- day, to the number of about 1000, with sashes, ban- ners, badges, and several bands of music, making quite an imposing spectacle. They proceeded to a beautiful grove in the vicinity, and were addressed by General Cary, of Ohio, the Grand Sachem of the Sons of Temperance. The United States Hotel, on Pratt street, the fa- vorite sopping place of Mr. Webster and all the great guns of Congress in passing through this city, has passed into the hands of Messrs. Guy and Dutton, two of the most efficient caterers for the comfort and appetite of the way-worn travel- ler. They have refitted and furnished the house in magnificent style. c A man named Henry McGee, was killed on Toesday by falling off the platform of a railroad car, between this city and Frederick, whilst in rapid motion, z Mr. Burton made his appearance last night at the Front street theatre, as Sir Robert Bramble, and as a matter of course, drew a full house. The whole piece was played to admiration, and the tertainment was most decidedly the best that has been offered in Baltimore for some time. There is another speck of barnburnerism spring- ing up in this city, with regard to the sheriffalty, the friends of the unsuccessful candidate for the democratic convention refusing to support Mr. Cloud, who will, undoubtedly, be the nominee. They assert that the result was produced by pack- ing the ward meetings, which 1s undoubtedly the case; but it is no less true that both the Davies men and the Cloud men did their best in this line, and “the latter out-packed the former, not- withstanding the organized aid of the office-hold- ers in all sections of the city. Pumapetrnia, June 22, 1848. Destructive Hail Storm. We had a terrific storm in this vicinity yester- day, accompanied with hail stones as large as hickory nuts. The latter, however, seems to have been confined to atrack of about half a mile in width, and the wind that attended it has occa- sioned great damage as far as heard from. Trees were torn up by the roots, limbs twisted off and strewed along the streets in the lower section of Southwark and Moyamensing, halt a dozen houses unroofed, and their walls partially demolished. The grain below the city has been entirely pros- trated, and the hail has ruined a great amount of the stock on the truck farms. One man alone has lost ten thousands head of cabbage. All the win- dows of a row of houses facing the west between Carpenter and Christian street, were broken by the hail. Fortunately the violence of the storm did net extend over much space, or there would doubt- less have been some loss of life Meetings to devise means of aiding Yucatan are being held in New Orleans. It is expected that large numbers of volunteers will be found willing to undertake an enterprise there as soon as our soldiers from Mexico are paid off and discharged. Gee op Vvina, Zune Shay, Met, Aftis is Vitam fi aa prcttenpage at twisare the buarabernare, the chew? dor phoworg, the sssuders, the lasurgents, ore guing to pitch their enoampment, Martln Van Buren's household is represented on the ground in the per> sons of his son John and his second son Smith Van Buren, Martin Van Buren h mself is represented by a letter—a long letter, an epigram, an episode in the annals of American politics. This ground is impreg- nable; the troops of the line, the regular troops, can make no impression upon it. Their batteries opened early in the morning and their best guns were charged with Brandreth’s best pills, but they don’t make an impression, The barnburners are self confessed invalids, but they don’t like Brand- reth’s prescriptious—they want the hydropathic treatment. / Martin Van Buren, in his masterly letter to the Convention, takes an open position. Dix, he thinks, is in ambush, and has not courage enough to show himself to the enemy. But Martin shows his hands—palms, and all. “You are aware that there is an impression abroad that the Convention will meke no nominations, but this impression is a false one. ‘The Convention will adopt the advice of Martin Van Buren. He urges the necessity of a nomination, and his arguments in favor of it are unanswerable and overwhelming. He has written a bold, and manly, and powerful letter ; it isa document worthy of Pitt in his palmy days. It is written with skill and care ; it will withstand and outlast the criticisms of his bitterest enemies. It will givea terrible impulse to the movement which is being made in the North against the South. There is danger in it—danger to the Union. This letter is broad enough. Upon the principles which it maintains, a great Northern party will plant itself, and in 1852, that party will triumph. There is no need of disguis- ing or denying the fact, that these men are becom- ing more hostile to the South. They say that the South has had more than its share of Presidents. Hereafter this party will abandon all the issues and tests but this: 5 the candidate for the Pre idency in favor of entrusting the South with the adminis- tration of the government, or is he not? If he is, we will resist his election; if he is not, we will support it. This will be the test Anumber of States will be represented wi the Convention ; there are delegates present from Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, Connecticut, and so.ne other States. There is a disposition in several quarters to postpone this Convention to some future day, in order that all the States that wish to unite in the movement, may have an opportunity to do so. But this proposition will not prevail; nearly all the baruburner delegates to Baltimore are here ; among others, Preston Ki fe Wm. C. Crain, John, F Beekman, Benjamin Tilden, &c., &c. There isa ontaniety of feeling among them; they will ** stand up to the rack, fodder or no fodder.” ‘ The Convention will assemble in the Baptist church to-morrow at twejve. Martin Van Buren will be the nominee for President, and Marcus Morton, of Massachusetts, or Senator Dodge, of Wisconsin, tor Vice President. I am very confi- dent that these will be the nominations. Mr. Van Buren will decline, but the Convention will insist upon its right to command his services, and he will be forced to accept—nolens volens. Martin Van Buren will get a strong vote inthis State. His friends only hope to throw the election into the House of Representatives, and they will omit no efforts to accomplish this object An address and resolutions will be adopted by the Convention. I am informed that they were drawn upunder the direction of Martin Van Buren. Bage’s splendid hotel is filled with delegates ; it is the euaqultpeerd of the barnburners. I am under obligations to the proprietor for a reom where I can write without intrusion; there are scores of unsuc- cessful applicants for rooms. Ocxanic House, Covey Istanp, June 22, 1843. Important Intelligence.—The Age of Revolution— State of affairs on Coney Island. This is the age of revolution! There has been a revolution in France, (if report be true ;) another in Italy; another among the German confederacies, and so on. The very world seems agog with noise and tumult, and change. There has been a revolution in the press, originated and undertaken and carried to a successful result by the Herald, yes, by the Herald, amidst the opposition of the bankrupt weeklies, and against the whole force of their virulent influ- ence. The moment, however, the Herald had fought and gained the battle, there were a host o! journals ready to come inand share the nee with the victor. “ Tray, Blanch and Sweetheart” no longer bark The opposition was gradually hauled off,” and the motto of your journal has since been Sic iter ad astra! This is my preface. Think not that I had no de- sign in introducing the subject of revolutions. We, too, here at Coney Island, have had a revolution ! Start not, tremble not—but it is true. A revolu- tion, not an emeute, has brought this to pass, that Coney Island henceforth is to become a place of fashionable resort—’tis even so. 1 rlory of Gil Davis has departed, unless he will consent to di- vide territory, and no longer claim jurisdiction over the fashionable inmates of the Oceanic House. We will be generous in the very flush of victory. Even now our terms shall be worthy of a gallant victor and a brave foe. We would say to the late Governor,— “ Let old Timotheus yield the prize, Or else divide the crown.” Give us no more clam-bakes under our aristocra- tic noses—we cannot bear with them, Confine your orgies to the “ big tent” and “the Governor's Mansion,” but let not the delicate nostrils of the fairand the fashionable at our own Oceanic be offended. ’Tis said. Coney Isiand, then, is the place of fashionable resort for this summer. Already, (and it is but little past the middle of June,) dies our number each to fifty, and the cry is still, they come. We reckon especially upon One strong coadjutor, one who, within my knowledge, has always advocated every undertaking which has tended to improve the facilities for enjoying life within and around our great and growing metropolis. Come now to the rescue. Help us to hold our victory, and let this beautiful resort be indeed the resort of beauty. Why should it not be so? What beach, for com- fort, for safety, for genuine enjoyment to the bath- ers, is equal to this Onr own citizens can reside here, and go to town daily and attend to business, if they choose, (as for us, we don’t choose,) and the drives in the vicinily surpass thase of any watering place within my knowledge—Newport not except- ed.

P my Corvmpra Covnty.—On Saturday night last, an Italian organ-grinder and an Irish- man (the names of neither of them are given), took lodgings at Coon’s tavern, Malden a h Columbia county, and remained there over the Sabbath. During that time they became quite in- timate, and were together a good deal. On Mon- day morning they departed together, taking the Kinderhook road towusds Albany. The Italian was not seen again; but a short ume after they lefi the tavern, the Irishman was seen alone, with the organ in his possession, and playing oait. The jue body of the uofortunate Italian was found in the woods, half a mile from the tavern, and not far from the road. He was horribly beaten, his head being literally pounded to a jelly! His pretended friend had taken. his life to obtain pos- session of the organ! Search was made, and the murderer was traced to the nearest station of the Boston and Albany Railroad. Doubtless he reach- ed this city on Monday evening. Officers came on in pursuit yesterday, and it is to be hoped that the wretch will be speedily brought to justice.— Albany Knickerbocker. Deatn or Mrs. Mitcuer.—It is stated that pri vate letters have been received from the Rev. James Wilson, Presbyterian minister at Lecum- phre, county of Derry, Ireland, dated May 24th announcing that the wife ot John Mitchell the Irish patriot, died a few days after her unfortunate hus- band was transported. The shock was so severe upon her, that it brought on premature confine- ment, which resulted in her death. The occur- rence had caused a very, great degree of sympa- thy, and it was thought might end in a popular out- break. We are inclined to, doubt the correctness of this report, as the date of the letter purports to be three days earlier than the sentence of Mr. Mitehel.—Phil N. American, June 22. Apprttonan Ireus rrom Aux Cayrs.—Schooner Abei Story, irom Aux Caves, May 301 this port last evening. The eaptain contradicts the story that the French Consul had been beaten there. Political matters were unenanged. A call is again made by American residents for the pre- sence of men-oft var from the United States. An Englishman writes that the object of the blacks seems to be to possess themselves of the property of the mulattoes, either by extermination, or by driving them from the Island. At Cape Haytien, ladies were denivd passports because they pos- sessed property which they would carry with them. But Soloque himself does not go fast enough for these brigands. He is suspected, and it was thought, might fall a victim to the very storm of cupidity and avarice which he has raised.

The peculiar circumstances of society in this country, growing out of its settlement, very recent when compared with the age of other civilized portions of the earth, and imposing the necessity of subjugating the forest, of smoothing down the ragged te face of nature and of planting upon its bosom the arts of industry, which huve rapidly erminated and developed themseives into great and important interests, now Hourishing with a vigor and energy which enable them to become the tormidable rivals of similar interests of older na- tions—have tended to stimulate the inventive ge- nius of our utilitarian and labor saving character, rather than to the pursuit of more scientific disco- very. Hence, while we may be behind other countries in the discovery and developement of scientific principles, we are probably equal with, if not in advance of them, in fete application to the useful purposes of life. But if the genius of our countrymen is not now so much absorbed in the investigation of abstract science, as that of the citizens of older and more opuleat countries, the circumstances of society so rapidly improving by the steady tide of prosperity which sets in our fa- vor, will soon place us in a condition to contribute our share to the sum of knowledge which the combined genius and labors of the earned of all civilized nations annually bestow upon mankind. During the year 1340 the number of applications tor patents Was 765, the number of caveats filed was 223, and the number of patents granted was 475. From this it appears that the business of the patent office has increased one hundred per cent within the last eight years. ‘ On exeninieine tabular estimates ofthe agricul- tural report for 1847, saysthe Commissioner, it ap- pears that while some of the crops interior in value and amount, have remained nearly stationary, or, perhaps, slightly diminished, the great staple pro- ducts of home agriculture have steadily increas- ed; thus furnishing as usual, ample provision for domestic consumption, and an additional surplus tor exportation; aud in alluding to the potato rot, he says:—The deprivation and suffering which it has inflicted on the people of other countries, have revealed the great resources of this, and demonstrated its capacity to supply the wants and demands of other nations to any extent, which can be® reasonably anticipated. 4 was, indeed, aspectacle gratetul to humanity, and sublune to contemplate, to see our ferule und prolific country, opening its rich stores of agricultural products to teed the famishing millions of other nations, and io arrest the strides of appalling and inexorable famine which was sweeping them by thousands to the grave; sellingtothose who had the means ot purchasing, and generously giving, without money or price, to those who had not. : The quantity of grain of all kinds, exported during the commercial year, ending August 31st, 1347, was 41,273,993 bushels. Of this quantity, 19,703,579 bushels was wheat, and 20,690,664 bush- els Indian corn; the remainder being rye, barley and oats. And yet this large quantity sent to toreign countries, did not exhaust our surplus pro- ducts by millions of bushels. (The Commissioner on this subject, states, that while he was on a tour through several of the States bordering on the great Western lakes, during the last summer, he found the depots of grain, the remains of the crops of 1846, filled to overflowing, and all the avenues of transportation choked up with the um- mense quantities which were pouring in through them to the Aulantic coast, to seck markets abroad. The report 1s accompanied by soine very inte- resting notices of patented inventions, of which we give the following abstrac: AGricuLrure.—Number of patents granted, 43. Im agricultural pursuits a marked disparity is ex- hibited between this and every other country * * * Tn the husbanding of tarming resources we are much behind European nations ; and even, perhaps, that singular pach the Chinese ;_ while, in , extent, and utility of labor-saving in- struments, for agriculture, we greatly excel. * * * ‘he whole number of patented inventions in this country, belonging to this class of agriculture, is 2,043." In this class are included, not only the ya- rious instruments for tilling the earth, entering and gathering crops, and preparing them for mar- ket, but also every implement and machine be- longing to the comprehensive subject of rural economy.

As this branch of science is progressing more ra- pidly than any other of the present day, its applica- tion to the arts, in a measure, keeps pace ; and the past year exhibits an interesting catalogue of in- ventions under this class. _ But little credit can be claimed for our own coun- try in the advancement of the science of chemistry, in comparison with Germany, France, Sweden, and England. | But while we adiit the deficiency, and plead theinfaney of our institutions, as the most obvious and natural apology,we are warranted, upon facts, in claiming pre-enunence in the appli- ition of chemistry to the arts; and this without necessarily arrogating genius, as our advance- ment, in this latter respect, is, perhaps, due to that very condition which we have pleaded for our buckwardness in science. The foreign applica- tons under this class have been few, aod two ot 2 patented inventions, presenting uncommon in- srest, Were trom citizens of the United States re- siding abroad.

Un- der this class are included many inventions not strietly of a surgical character, such as machines for excercising, swings, and baby jumpers, inven- tions for artificial incubation, and subjects of a physiological character, inhalation of ether, chlo- roform, &e Meran.urey.—Gold.—But one patent has been granted during the past year for # ting gold rom the sand and other impurities which are found mingled with it. The processis wholly me- chanical, and is intended to separate gold, which ia not chemically combined with other substances, but simply mixed with them. Copper.—One patent granted within the past year, for an improved process for reducing copper ores. Jron.—Three patents granted for obt from the ores. Steel.—Several patents granted for improve- ments in ovens, or furnaces and forges, for the manufacture of steel; also for improvement in welding cast iron to steel, or wrought iron. Mi Patents have likewise been Number of pa- jing iron ote kad th ho oat infinitely diversified machinery levoted thereto, Numerous patenty have been granted for improvements in hemp-brakers, ma- cninery for cleaning cotton; burning, carding, aud combing wool; making hats; doubling aad twist- ang thread; augpenvred methods of folding and mea- suring cloths, We. Sream anv oruer Gas Exaives.—About thirty patents have been granted within the year, for 1m- provements in steam engines, comprehending mo- difications of many of the features of that impor- tant machine. So much ingenuity has been exer- cised upon the steam engine for such a length of time, that as might be expected, but few of the im- provements ammount to anything more than slight refinements upon what has hitheito been done. ‘The number of patents granted in this country, and in Europe, for improvements ia the steam en- gine is almost incredible; but it should be recol- lected, thut these improvements are not confined to the general character of the machines, but are connected also with its adaptation to the multi- farious purposes to. which it is applied, and the endless variety of circumstances 1n which it 1s placed—so that many modifications which would be absolute disadvantages for some purposex, would not only be patentable, but of the highest importance in others. Navigation anp Marine Iaerewents.—About twenty patents for improvements comprehended in this class, have been granted within the year, some of which appear to be very desirable. “The mass of these improvements, however, are not such as to claim particular attention in this place, although calculated to operate well, and upon prin- ciples slightly different from such as have previous- ly been known, @reat utility cannot be expected in every patentable modification ; but the vast im- portance of the tew will eusily reconcile us to the many. It is often observed, also, that a novel mo- dification, from which little or no benefit seems derivable, is frequently the first step towards the most important results. Civin ENGINEERING AND ARcurrecTuRE.—Up- wards of twenty patents for improvements in civil engineering and architecture have been granted within the year, embracing improved excavators and ditching machines, switches for railroads, clearing snow from the tracks, new apparatus for ascending and descending inclined planes by loco- motives and their trains; also, in machines for drilling rocks, deepening channels, &c. Lanp Conveyance.—Upwards of thirty patents for improvements belonging to this class have been granted within the past year, ».me of which are of considerable importance. Hypraviics anp Pyevuatics.—Upwards of twenty patents have been granted within the year for improvements belonging to the class of hydrau- lies and pneumatics, very few of which can be particularly noticed. These subjects haves» long exercised the ingenuity of inventors, that little else appears possible, but to refine upon what has alr -a- dy been done. Miuys, Mecuanicat Movements, &c.—Near'y twenty .patents for improvements in machine:y belonging to this class have been granted within the year. Many of these “improvements” wouid, however, perhaps be more appropriately denomi- nate changes, as they appear to promise but little uulity. Lumber anp Macuinery ror Workine THEREIN —About thirty patents have been granted this year for improvements belonging to this class. It com- prehends a great variety of machinery, to which important additions are annually made. Machines for working lumber have already attained so high adegree of perfection, that almost every variety of form may, with the greatest facility, be pro- duced and finished by them. Yet the march is on- ward towards a still higher degree of perfection. _ Fire Arms aNnp ImpLements or Wa‘ ‘his class is less comprehensive and diversified than the others, and, of course, presents fewer subjects for inventions. It has, however, during the past year, received siderable attention ; and although the number of patents is much less than in the other classes, yet they are more numerous than usual, and, on the whole, the improvements possess more than average importance. Miscgtiangous.—In addition to the foregoing classes, about twenty patents of a miscellaneous character have been granted during the past year, embracing improved fire escapes, twine stands, machines for cutting and raising ice, making brushes, baskets, &c. Miscellaneous. .The schooner San Jacinto was struck by light- ning while lying at the dock in Albany on Tuesday evening. The masts were considerably injured. Religious services were to be held on board the bark Catalpa, at Boston, at eight o’clock on Thurs- day morning, on the embarcation of Rev. Mr. Foote and his wile, missionaries fur Syria, under the direction of the American Board. During the storm on Tuesday evening, six of the telegraph posts, a few miles éouth of Greenbush, opposite to Albany, were destroyed by lightning. _ A lady was delivered of a fine boy while nding ina South Boston omnibus, on Wednesday after- noon, The extensive drug warehouse of Mr Allen, in Fitth street, Cincinnati, was destroyed by fire on the night of the 20th inst. Loss, $26,000. Insured tor $8,000. ‘Tur AGawam Bank Counterreits.—George M. Gibson, a broker in Change Avenue, and Robert Brewster and Charles C. Lincoln, working jewel- lers, all people of respectability, and the last a young man who has recently served out his time with Mr, Whitom of Court Square, have been arrested for passing and having in their possession counterfeit bills of the Agawam Bank, Springfield. Lincoln, who was first arrested for attempting te pass a bill in Hanover-street, informed of Brew- ster, who had sold him the counterfeits, and Brew- ster stated that he purchased his lot of Gibson, at the rate of forty-eight counterfeit dollars for ten dollars good money. One bill of $3, and two counterfeit half eagles, were found upon Gibson, one of the latter at his house in South Boston. Yesterday afternoon they were brought before the police, court, and having waived an examination, were ordered to recogaize—Gibson and Brewster in the sum of $2,000 each, and Lincoln in ¢ The last found bail, the others were committed. Boston Courier, June 22. Treaty, wirn THe Pawnee Inptans.—The steam- boat Mississippi, Capt. Van Bleet, arrived at St. Louis from Fort Childs, which is two miles above Fort ney on the upper Missouri, on the 2let inst. The Oregon battalion was there on the Ist Col. Powell has made a treaty with the Paw- nees, who have ceded to the United States Grand {sland for the establishment of a fort. The Paw- nees were ina very distressed condition trom the want of provisions. They were afraid to hunt, being at war with all the surreunding tribes. Col. Powell had provided for their protection. _ From tur Western Ewiarants.—Mr. Shaw ar- rived here on Monday last from Fort John on Platte river. Oa his way in he met about 300 wagons of Oregon and California emigrants, and 200 wagons of Mormons. All were getting on well, The first company was about 600 miilestn m the settlements, and the last one about 150 miles, A company of Califor: emigrants, numbering sbout sixty, had a little difficulty with the Paw- ages, but no person was injured. From the best information we can gather, the emigration this eason to Oregon and California will not exceed three hundred and fifteen wagons—about sixteen hundred souls. The Mormons ure leaving Camp {srael in large numbers, and at this time upward of six hundred wagons have left for the Sale Lake, The outbreak among the Indians will not deter them from crossing the plains this season, as they ire anxious that all their brethren should get to- wether as soon as possible. Three Mackinaw boats, loaded with robes and furs, passed down to- day. ‘They bring no news from the mountains. The Indians were all quiet.--St. Joseph’s Gazette, June 9.
