The Speech of John Qviscx Adams, which

era have copied on our First Page to day from the

National Intelligencer, will command universal at-

tention as well on account of the sentiments it con-

tains on the all absorbing auestion now betöre the

Country as from the high character and attainments

of its venerable author. Although we knew belore

that »Mr. Adams beld essentially the opinions set

forth in the speech, w e must confess ourselves some

what surprised by its spirit and tone. "While we re-

gret to find him speaking as he does of the dreaded

alternative of WaraDd Peace, we derive *adsfaction

from the opinion so confidently expressed that there

ie at present so dancer or a forceful conflict.

The hope that this opinion may be justified by fu¬

ture events may well reconcile the friends of the

venerable statesman to the surprise, not to say dis-

appointment, which his Speech cannot fail to excite._A distinguished Whig now in Washington

writes a* follows"John Qcinct Adams with his accurate knowledge

of the question, vindicated the American title to Oregon.aye, the rhole of it. lie showed that, while one fac-

don of the Loco-Foco party wa. demanding measures

fbf the occupation of the territory without regard to the

datiger of War, another wag seeking to save Slavery fromdanger by arguing a policy dishonorable and pusillan-lmous. He showed that, in fact, neither notice to ter¬

minate the Joint Occupation nor extending jurisdictionover our own citizens in Oregon is to be regarded a. a

warlike measure; yet he was willing at once to adoptmean, of defence if the Government took the true

national ground and gave notice. He would sup¬port the Administration in this. The unanimity ofthe American People in regard to their title andtheir promptness and firmness in nssertiug it wouldsecure an adjustment upon terms honorable nod

advantageous to the country while distracted councilswould encourage Great Britain and result in a War that

might lose us ha whole territory and cover us with dis¬

grace."The glowing sentiments of the Old Man Eloquent'

elicited approbation from all sides of the House, and it is

quite evident that they will be responded to, with few

exceptions, by the Whigs of both Houses and of theCountry."The Anarchy of Labor.Hand-Loom Wen vine.The business of Haud-Loom Weaving is one

which, by inevitable necessity, entails privation andmisery on those who in our day ore* compelled to re¬

ly on it for employment and subsistence. Everyyear the mighty powers of Invention and Machinerymake new inroads on its narrow domain. Eachyear's improvements and adaptations in Weavingdirect another and another description of fabric fromthe Hand to the Power-Loom, throwing out of workor compelling to work at u rate still nearer absolutestarvation a body of industrious poor rncii who, hav¬ing devoted their juvenile years to learning the art

of Hand-Loom Weaving, know uo other way to

procure an honest livelihood. Consequenly. the pri¬ces of this work are constantly and aerionsly dimin¬ishing. No matter how it may fare with othertrades, for this thero is no prospect, no hope; thewhoel most roll on and on, until the Power-Loomshall be adapted to every conceivable variety ul tab-rio, and the last Hand-Loom' Weaver, overtaken byfaTnlno anrl despair, shall be driven to hang himselfon bis now useless loom.Thus far all is as it muet be. and all tirades against

monopolists, tyranny of capital, or the low wages ofthe weaver, are simply absurd. No good can come

of them, but much evil, and they ought not to

be countenanced. Yet thero are wrongs growingont of the present condition and irresistible tenden¬cies of this trade which ought to be exposed andconsidered, not so much for the sake of the unfortu¬nate Weavers as for the light they cast ou the con¬

ditions of Labor generally. Just reflect i

The wages of the Hand-Loom Weavers havebeen forced down, and still down, until their inade¬quacy can no longer be endured. No excuse forthe later reductious exist* in the general conditionof Trade, as the demand for fabrics lias been goodthe past year and the prices remunerating. Atlength the Weavers, nerved by despair, have come

together and resolved that they must have more paythan is allowed them by the latest and lowest prices,or starvation is their doom. The employers haveheard their representations, and have generally con¬

sented to pay the improved wages demanded. Butone extensive employer refuses to pay, and that re¬

fusal is fatal to the whole movement. The othersare willing to pay but cannot, because he will beenabled to undersell and ruin them if they pay u

third more than he does. His refusal dooms a wholeclass of industrious and worthy citizens, with theirfamilies, to want and wretchedness.Hero is indicated a law of our present system ol

Hired Labor, not every where so promiuent bulevery where existing, and liable tobe made manifestIn any other vocation. The worst employers ginlaw to the best, or are liable to be ruined by them.The regular price of type-setting, for example, is OScents per 1,000 em*. But the workmen are usuallytoo many for the work those out of employment are

apt to be desperately needy. So an unprincipled Em¬ployer says, "I will give two-thirds or three fourthsof the 'regular price,' and you may work or not as youchoose." Some will accept of the otter.their poverty consenting, not their will.and thereby the rat'

employer is enabled to underwork and undersell hisfair and just competitor. He can do printingcheaper than he who pays the fair price, and therebyget all the work from the booksellers, or he can turn

bookseller himself and make himself speedily andenonnously rich, merely on the dollar or two perweek which he gouges out of the just earnings ofeach of his two or three hundred journeymen. Andmore -. His injustice becomes a law to his competi¬tors ; they cannot put up wages while he is pressingthem down they can only pay iho regular pricesby denying themselves all hope of profit. the lowestprice in all things is the standard price, and themass of them fall into the current and juatify them¬selves by the reflection that they cannot pay morethan others.that the reduction has been effected byno mult of theirs. Thus the direction and profit ofthe chief branches of Industry fall naturally into thehands of the most griping and avaricious, who makefortune* while the generous and fair-dealing can butfive, at beat, and the condition of the Laboring Masstends ever to deeper and still deeper degradation.

EP* The Americas Review for January openawith an interesting bwtoricopolitical paper on ' TheM. to Panama,' which must prove peculiarlydisagreeable to our present rulers.Mr. Polk, forexample.whose position and language in 1926were very different from those now maintained byhim. . California' is the subject of another and

longer article of like character, but pointing to some

most unjustifiable conclusions. The y, riter, afteran able historical and general statement, proceeds to

argue. 1st, that we ought to do our best to acquireCalifornia, and, Udly, that we should not allow anyother nation to acquire it. We canno. justify suchassumptions as these. If Mexico may rightfullysell the province in question, she may tell it to an¬

other power as clearly as to us. and if we mayacquire it without blame or offence, we may not

justly take offence at its acquisit ju by some otherpower. To maintain the contrary is to open thefloodgates of universal slaughter and make grapeand canister the only expositors of right and wrong.We cannot consent to this.

Pandora' is the title of a third Political essay,rapidly reviewing the perils to National well-beingwhich the recent opening of the Executive budgeton the assembling of Congress has disclosed. Wemake room for the first three paragraphs of it:

"Ill-Starred is that people whose rulers, having won

power by ministering to ibe worst and most dangerouspassions, hud themselves goaded ever by the iatal neces¬

sity of pandering afresh to the evil spirits they havearoused and stimulated. Such a people must tind inevery decisive manifestation of the power of their au¬

thorities now reasons to deplore that criminal ambitionwhich seeks exalted stalioa regardless of principle or

public good, and that popular infatuation which leadsnations to put their trust in thoae who thuB play upontheir weaknesses, at a fearful cost to their morals, their

truedignitv, their vital and lasting interests." Take the present Oregon Controversy, for example.

The Convention which nominated Mr. Polk for Presi-'d<-nt, saw tit, formally, to resolve that our right to thewhile of Oregon is clear and unquestionable.' and that. the rc-occupation' of that territory, with the re-annexa¬

tion of Texas, ia a great American question, etc. i.e..The query at once suggests itself.It these be great na¬

tional questions, why belittle them to mere party foot¬balls I Why thrust them into the arena of a Presiden¬tial controversy f Nothing had been said regarding Ore¬gon by the antagonist convention, nor by the party there¬in represented, at any time it had been left, where itshould have been ever left, to the constituted authoritiesof the. land, speaking and acting in the name of the wholepeople. Yet a party convention seizes upon this greatAmerican question.' with the sordid intent of makingvoice out of it, utterly reckleas of the mischiefs thenceto How. The candidate nominated by this convention iselected President by this and kindred devices, and comesinto power virtually pledged to give effect to the viewsformally set lorth oy the body to which he owed bis ele¬vation." He enters upon his official duties with a mani¬festo in which this subject ot national controversy, ofprotracted ami anxious negotiation, is treated as nearlyas possible in the spirit of the Baltimore resolutionilia language ia regarded by the rival claimant ol the dis¬puted territory aaa bravado.-* menace, and is respond¬ed to accordingly, giving rise to great and deplorableirritation on both aides. Under these circumstances the

negotiation for a settlement ofthe difference is resumed;but uuder what serious disadvantages on our part OurPresident It embarrassed, hampered by the party reso¬

lution aforesaid, in a mattf r entirely transcending partyand he stands before the world in the attitude of theconstrained advocate of a forgone conclusion.maintain-iug our right to the disputed territory in accordancewith a pledge made for him before he came into office,and in order to pave the way for his elevation. Mostunfortunate is this position lor him, for our country, andfor a just appreciation of the strength of our claim byan impartial world.

.. But when he tirst comes to act decisively on thissubject, he throws his fetters overboard, and offers to

compromise by surrendering our claim to nearly halfthe territory" we call Oregon, on condition that the otherhalf is in like manner relinquished to us by our rivalclaimant. Here, a virtual and important promise, madetrj secure bis election, is plainly repudiated. The vo-

tqrs. whom the Baltimore resolution was adopted to In-tlUence, understood it hb a pledge to them that, if Mr.

Pplk would be elected, he would insist on our claim to

tne whole of Oregon without abatement in any case, andshould proceed to enforce lliat claim 10 its utmost extent,But here, at the outset, he makes an offer to be satis-tied with hut little more thau half, where he was pledgedto exact all. How natural ia the inference which willbe drawn on the other side, that be hud been staggeredby the force of thu British claim, and compelled in con-

science to defer to iL How easy the presumption that,where a President so situated could begiu by profferingso much, justice wou'd give still more Such are theevils resulting to the country from the unworthy juggleperformed at Baltimore for the purpose of catchingvotes."We hav« barely room left to allude to some of the

non-Political articles. Marshal Massena,' by J. T.Hcadl«y. is frraphic aßd powerful. Wordsworth,'by William Wallace, is a true poem. A Biograph¬ical i\oticc of the late Justice Story, (with ati En¬

graved Bust.) is from the p<sr. of one of the finesischolars of New- England. Phrenology, A SocraticDialogue," by J. O. YVhelpley, and TraditionsandSuperstitions,' by Mrs. Eilet, are among, the more

attractive articles which we have hardly found timeto glance at. This number opens a new volumeand opens it well. The Review appears to befirmly established. fS."> per annum: G- H. Colton,IIS Nassau sL)

Great Britain Desires Peace..The Wash¬ington correspondent of the Journal of Commercewrites

" i have seen a letter lrom a hi|;h official source inLondon, brought by the last steamer to a gentleman inthis Ciiy, which says L'uless your President is themost unreasonable man alive, there can be no difficultyat"-ut Oregon." The same writer says that the views olthe British Government in relation to America are as

pacific as can be, and udds that the repeal of their CornLaws and Pood Taxes is certain. I repeat that 1 haveseen aud read this letter for myself, nnd that the officialstation and high character of tho writer gives grealweight to what he writes."Of the pacific disposition of Great Britain in re¬

spect to the Oregon question we cntertaiu no doubt,but we are altogether skeptical as to her intentionto repeal her Corn Laws. But.nous cerrons.

Festive Commemoration;..We have seen

Strenuous objection made to the proposed celebra¬tion by a Ball of the Colonization of Plymouth bythe New England Society of this City on Wednes¬day the 7th inat. We deem this objection ill taken. We

©at and do not dance yet we could never perceive thew itdom of those who would attend a Public Dinnerw ithout beaitation. yet had religious scruples as to a Ball-But every man must be his own judge in such matters.

For our own part, while we sec and deeply regret theabuses of Dancing through late hours, ill ventilatedrooms, late suppers, Ac. we cannot doubt that this, whenproperly regulated, is a wholesome and beneficent re¬

creation and we wish the wise and good would not so

generally abandon it to the direction of the thoughtlessand trifling. Social gatherings for dancing ought to com¬

mence e.t an early hour, have supper by 9 o'clock at the

iatest. and break up when the clock etrike a the midnighthour; and we believe this reform might be ejected if

the riebt hands took earnest bold of it. The advantagesof a Ball over sny other Social public gathering are verymany and striking. There is leas formality than at a

Dinner there is place and entertainment for those who

do not dance there are abundant opportunities for

forming or ripening acquaintances and for unobservedconversation. We believe the New.England Society has

wisely chosen its mode of celebrating this year the

Founding of the Pilgrim Colony, and we trust the planwill be carried out with equal wisdom and s; irit. The

gatheriug will inevitably be one of the most delightful ofthe season, and we regret that absence from the Citydeprives ua of its enjoyment..By the way, the friends of " the Freedom of

the Public Lands" have their first Bail on the same

evening.an unexpensive but hearty gathering,doubtless.The object of these aame Free-Landers is to enable

every man who wants a ebftnee to work to find it on thePublic Lands if nowhere else. If the success of this en¬

terprise would not excite men to dance, what would <.

We wish them all possible gratification.New Publications.

L'Eau Brocchleri.The statements in the Coarrier des Etat» Unis, by

M. Gaiiiardet, in relation to the discovery of thiswonderful fluid, have excited a great deal of atten¬

tion in the scientific circles of this city. In order to

dive our readers seme idea of the effects of this mi¬raculous water, we translate the following statement

from that paper of Saturday last- It is a state¬

ment made by M. Blanqui. one of the most distin¬

guished savaDS of Paris, and was originally puh-lished in the Courrier Fraacais.

We assisted a few days since at a series of ex¬

periments of a very remarkable character, whichseemed to place beyond ali question the efficiency ofan anti-hemorrhacic fluid, discovered by M. Brocchic-ri. a Neapolitan chemist. Whatever mny be our ha¬bitual prejudices against all kinds of miraculous wa¬

ters, we cannot refrain from stating here the deci¬sive facts of which we have been the witness. Theyare farts which by their importance appear to us 10

be worthy of the deep attention of the medical world.M. Brocchieri has discovered a fluid which ap¬

pears destined to put an end to many of the embar-rasi-rner.ts of sunrery. and to render immense servicesto humanity. This fluid, of which the .'secret rests

with the inventor, is the result of the distillation o,

several" vegetable substances. It is perfectly clearand limpid, has an odor of tar. and a slightly acidtaste. It can be drenk with impunity, the inventorhaving drank a large glas» in our presence.

In the experiments made before us. the operatoropened the carotid artery of a sheep. The incisionnecessary to discover tbe artery produced a hemor¬rhage which was immediately arrested by the appli¬cation of the fluid. The wound remained clean, a

little sangoine, of a rose color, and the blood ceasedto run from the veins whirh had been divided. Theknife was then put into the carotid artery and theblood spouted over the pavement. This was thecritical moment. A small portion of lint saturatedwith the water was placed on the wound, and with¬out bandage or compression remained twenty min¬utes. The äheep was then suffered to go at large, andimmediately began to gambol about the slaughter¬house where the experiment was conducted, andeat hay with avidity.The wound was examined with attention. It had

no blood upon it, was'open, and the edires coveredwith a sort of cuticle, thin and semi transparent..For the greater satisfaction of those present thesheep was killed and the perforated artery carefullydissected. The cellular tissue was of a dark red inthe neighborhood of the perforation, but it was

firm: it had become, in a manner, fibrous, the two

edges of the wound being firmly soldered, as it were.by a peculiar composition, clastic and tenacious,which had consolidated them, so that they couldnot be separated without destroying the artificial tis-sue which united them.

It must be that the liquid employed by M. Bro'cchieri exercises a peculiar influence upon the blooddecomposing and recomposinr it.'so that it serves toheal the wound, from which it issues. There isformed by the operation of this fluid upon the separated blood vessels a solidification of the blood,which acts as a kind of solder, and heals the woundin a few minntes.

M. Brocchieri states that, under the influence of hisfluid, the wound heals without inflammation or sup

) puratior;; a sort of animal vegetation, sudden andpermanent, lakes the place of what is called, in sur-

eery, fleshy pimples. It is the blood which fur-j nishes the base of this animal vegetation.ofwhich the theory is yet to be discovered, but ofwhich the existence is incontestable.

It is easy to conceive of tbe vast importance ofthis discovery, if physicians will carefully examinethe matter, and give their experience of its application. The greater part of the amputations will ceaseto be mortal.the compression, the tourniquet, theligatures, the gangrenes, will become more andmore rare. In the Geld of battle, it will save thou¬sands of the wounded, and will be not less useful inthe hospital."The Society of Medicine, of Paris, appointed n

committee to examine into the truth of these state¬

ments. The committee consisted of M. M. Purin.Rousseau. Leger. Parent. ('heveau. (iuersaut. Du-haruel, Mürel. Purtins. Delaborde, Serriuer. Sterlinand Nauche. The following is a portion of the re

port ot the committee" The committee first examined the liquor, which ap¬

peared neither to the taste or smell to be of a stypticquality, which induced them to think that it acted as an

astringent agent The success of the experiments was

complete. The lint placed upon the carotid artery was

taken off in the short space of twenty minutes. It wasscarcely stained with blood, and the *tfen unon the ar¬terial vessels was complete. The committee remarked,with as much satisfaction as astonishment, that the infil¬tration, following compression, in several comparativeexperiments made by Dr. Guersaat upon dirferent ani¬mals, was not observed when the Esu Brocchierri wasused. In the comparative experiments, the animals up¬on whirh the ligature was used. died. The remnind.-r olthe report can be found in a pamphlet which tbe authorproposes to publish, in which be will prove t',e direct in¬fluence of the water upon the reorganization of the openvessels, cither cut or torn, or with loss of substance, andthe preservation intact of the blood."

Similar experiments took place before M. M.Amuss.it, Lisfranc and Perizet, with equally con¬

clusive results.Messrs. George Serrill and P. C. Barabino, the

former surgeon of the U. S. frigate Potomac, and thelatter of the Delaware, testify to having wit¬nessed experiments with this wonderful fluid" Theexperiments were made at Naples, at the palace ofPrince Cassaro. Minister of Fdreign Affairs, in thepresence of several persons. A large sheep was

placed upon the table, and an incision three inchesj long made over the carotid artery, which was fullyexposed. The pu'sation wns plainly seen, and therewas no doubt that it was the carotid. The arterywas opened obliquely and the blood burst out inabuudance. Lint saturated in the fluid of M.Brocchieri was applied and sustained by a bandage.The animal was then set at liberty. After fifteenminutes the baudatre and lint were taken till'and thewound fully exposed. Tp the surprise of all pre-sent the hemorrhage was completely arrested..Upon examining the artery, it was found that a

(also membrane, two lines in thickness, had beenformed on that part of the artery in contact withthe liquid. The membrane was so strong that although the artery was handled with considerablerudeness, no effusion of blood took place. Thesheep was two hours after carried on board theDelaware, where it appeared entirely recovered.These gentlemen afterward made repeated experi¬ments of a similar nature with complete success..

These statements are signed by the two surgeons,and countersigned by Alexis Hammel, AmericanConsul at Naples.M. Gaiiiardet says that he drank a bottle of this wa-

ter each day for fifteen days without detecting any as¬

tringent taste orfeelintt any inconvenience. He saysthat if it did him no "good it certainly did him noharm.

This magical fluid not only arrests hemorrhagesot all kinds from cuts, wounds, braises, ulcerations,tec. but cures rheumatic pains, swelling of the legs,maladies of the skin, suppression, cancers, asthma,catarrhs, scrofula, dysentery, typhoid fever, attacksof epilepsy, and numerous" other miscellaneous illsto which man and woman are heirs. Indeed, it appears to be a certain remedy for every thing butdepletion ofthe purse. The mast eminent physiciansof Paris, Marjolin, Amussat, Baron Yvan. Renaultand Pruin have attested its value in various in¬stances, and the latter, who is surgeon major to thehorse-guards of Paris, has opened a hospital andstakes bis own reputation upon tbe operation of theEau Brocchieri employed internally or externally.

I Tbe experiments witnessed by Bianqui were thetirst made, since which several hundred have beenmade with entire success.M. Bizet has ascertained that in the different

slaughter houses in Paris, in coarse of one year,1145 cases of severe cuts sustained by the batcherbeys had been cured by this water in an average of30 minutes each.Other extraordinary cares have been effected by

it, especially in checking spitting of blood, which isnow under the control of the physicians, and ex¬ternal wounds may be cured "by it, almost by thewatch in hand.M. Gaiiiardet adds that the experiments he wit¬

nessed were made at tbe instigation of the com¬mander of the Cavalry in Paris.~with a view to theintroduction of this remedv into the military hospi¬tal.

EF* Rev. Dr Adams delivered last evening, at jhis Church in Brooms street, an able and eloquent Dis- ]course on the Relations of Franee to Protestantism His

observations were characterized by a greater degree of

moderation than usually marks the productions of men

of his class on the subject of Catholicism. On the sub-

ject of the French Revolution his remarks were exceed-[ngly interesting and truthful. His statement that the

power of the Revolutionists was derived, not from their

Infidelity, hut from their advocacy of Popular Rights and

their opposition to the corruptions of the Church, was

undoubtedly correct, and the fact is worthy of profoundrejection. IHousehold Affairs..Great complaint is made

of tne deficient weights employed by many of the familyGrocers. Ksümnies have been made by which it would

appear that customers are often cheated out of one ounce

in a pound, and sometimes two ouncea. of every thinethey buy at many family groceries. This is an abusewhich loudly demands investigation and reform.Another imposition is the high price and the poor quaj-

Ity of Beef seid at maay of the Meat-shops. Instead of

young bullocks, old cows supply thvse shops, and ev( n

then the housekeeper pays twenty or twenty-five percenL higher for his meat than the regular market pricefor a good and wholesome article.Much of the Buckwheat retailed at the Groceries in

¦mall quantities is sour and musty, and really not fit tobe eaten.destroying entirely the exquisite freshness offlavor which renders the Buckwheat Cake the most pop-alar and highly-esteemed of luxuries. Three-quarters ofthe Melasses sold in these places is of a very inferiorquality and of disagreeable flavor. A little trouble andenterprize would buy all these articles of first rate qual¬ity and for the same prices now paid.FontaNa's Concert..A very critical and ap¬

preciative audience stamped with public approla..on Mr.Fontana's claims as an artist and composer, and he mayhenceforth be regarded as an established favorite. His

style is distinguished for purity of taste and extreme del¬icacy of execution, and is evidently informed by supe¬rior intellectual conceptions. We greet with sincere

pleasure all artists who. like Mr. Fontana, come to resideamong us and to help form aright our infant but rigorousmusical taste.

Gr** Mr. Hardinoe gave his introductory or firstpractical Lecture on Phonography at Clinton Hall on

Saturday evening. The audience was not very large,but those who were present seemed exceedingly well

pleased with his System. This science of Phonographyis attracting a good deal of attention at present, but not

more, probably, than its merits deserve. Any thing cal¬culated to shorten the process of writing must provebenefical to all who have writing to do: but more espe¬cially to Reporters, Lawyers, Clergymen. A'c. From

listening to Mr. Hardinge's first Lecture, and witnessinghis demonstrations, his System appears simple, philo¬sophical, and easily acquired. Mr. H. gives his next

Lecture next Saturday evening, at the same place.Mr. Hudson's Lectures on Shak'teake..At

the request of sevsral of ibe audience, Mr. Hudson's sec- jond lecture will be given on Tuesday evening.not on

Monday, as was announced.Monday evening being thetime of the Monthly Religious Meetings.

truly surprising, and that we may expect something in

the way of Ethiopian singing quite beyond any thine we

have yet heard.NEW-YORK and Albany Mail..A contract has

been made to take the Mai! between the two cities byland. This arrangement, it is said, has been in conse-

quence of the charges of the Railroad Companies. Bythe new system the mail will be anticipated by the old

route some 12 or 11 hours. We shall therefore get no

more maus from Atbauy :tot the Houtatoolc Road, andmust depend upon the precarious transit by river, suow,

mud and ice. We expect, however, that Livingston St

Wells will, with their accustomed promptness, keep us

supplied with Albany papers by the Railroad,

The Magnetic Telegraph..We learn from an

authentic aourco. aaya the Baltimore American, that theline of Magnetic Telegraph between Baltimore and Phil¬

adelphia may be expected soon to be completed. Theposts for the whole line are nearly all delivered, readyfor setting up, and many weeks,' says a letter before ua,' will not elapse before the completion of this line willfinish the Telegraph between Washington and NewYork." Mr. Vail is now in Philadelphia, testing theaccu-

racy of the line between that city and New York, section

by section, which will not occupy more than ten days,when the instruments will be put in operation, andthe tpac-' between the cities be annihilated.' We are

gratified to learn that the ' Semaphores, for signalizingvessels,' recently published by Messrs, Rogers Si Rlack,is being extensively introduced into use in connection

with the Magnetic Telegraph.that it has been recom¬

mended to the Secretary of the Navy for adoption into

the United States service, and is soon to be put into

operation between Baltimore and a station at the Bodkinso that in a very short time the Telegraph system will

extend its usefulness among all classes of the commu¬

nity, especially along the Atlantic seaboard.Brooklyn Fire Department..From January

Supreme Court acted in these street matters aa a Court

of general jurisdiction, and not as mere Commissionersunder tbe Statute. But that on the point that tbe leasewas evidence or" the regularity of the previous proceed¬ings, he thought tbe judgment of the Supreme Court

ought to be reversed. Senator Lett then offered a reso-
