Public Schools.—Our public schools in
ithis borough furnish the means of educe.
Ition to between five and six hundred cliil
'dren the whole year round; and, we
understand, that nearly the same number
continue to belaught in our private schools
and academies, as were before the public
schools 'were carried into operation. We
are mainly indebted for the blessings of
public education to the influence of our
worthy Gov. JOSEPH RITIC ER. His exer
tions in procuring public appropriations to
to sustain the system are well known. The
pour man, whose children are educated
thereby ou es a debt of gratitUde to Gov.
Ritner which never should be forgotten!'
Pottsville and Reading Rail Road.—
The - piesident and managers of the Phila.
deiphia nod Reading rail road company
are authorised, by an act of Assembly, of
the _last - session, to extend the name to
Pottsville. We understand that their en
gineers are now engaged in Waking a sur
vey and location of the route; we may,
therefore, calculate that the work will be
conunenced ari soon as possible. _ The act
in question, requires the road to be com
pleted within three years. The Reading
rail - raid colopanVate convinced of the
necessity of-this link, to render their pre
sent road its productive as it ought to be.
No one can dontil of the productiveness of
the whole line when completed. It is an
enterprise which reflects g reat credit on
the- eaund views of the said company,. We
hope that nothing within their corm of will
be permitted to interrupt or delay the
work. Let it be prosecuted vigorously to
Completion and the result,, we answer for it,
will exceed their - largest anticipations.
Fatal Accidents.—David

in order to enable Mr..Cambreleng to in

We learn, from Philadelphia, that the

Ritner in PhiLdelpkiti. —At the last.
Governor's election, the united vote 01
Wolf and Muhlenberg exceeded the vote
of 16.seph Ritnk.r, in the city and county of
Philadelphia, 1,306 votes. The ,Philadel
phia Inquirer,-in alluding to this vote, says:
We venture to predict, and we beg
both.frionds and foes to test our political
sagacity' or the future, upon confirmation
or otherwise of this prediction, that .the
change in thee-city and county of Philadel
phia, tri rAvoa of Governor Ritner, and
against the Sub-treasury party, WILL AT
t.n.ter EQUAL 3,000 votes. Indeed, our
present opinidn is, that his majority, over
the locofoco zondidate, will reach 3,700. If.
so, the change inhis favor will be equal to
4,000 votes. • Thin is a calm, deliberate;

The coal trade to the great interests of our

FWENTY-SIX IRON SAFES WIT
SLIDING DRAWERS REWARD
Since the recent developments of public
opinion against our conspiracy to place the
purse along with the sword, in our own
hands, " our suffering is intolerable;" we
are, therefore, exceedingly anxious to get
rid of the responsibility of laboring to force
that measure upon the people. The above
reward will cheerfully be paid to the per-
son who will devise the most effectual plan
to humbug the people once more, and to
convince them that we never advocated
such a project; but that the whole story is
a falsehood, got up and circulated by Nick
Biddle and his tools.
The reward will be paid the more cheer
fully, since it is now certain that these
cunning devices of Iron Safes and Sliding
Drawers are of no use to the present
owner. M. VAN BUREN,

"HELP ME, CASSIUS, OR ',SINK."
The following - blessage was submitted to Con
gress on Thursday lasts
To the Senate and (louse of Representatives :
I submit to the consideration of Congress a
statement prepared By the Secretary of the
Treasury, by which it appears that the United
States, with over twenty eight millions.in depos
ite with the States, and over fifteen millions due
from individuals and banks, and, from the situa
tion in which these funds are placed, in immedi.
ate danger of being rendered unable to discharge,
with good faith and promptitude, the various pe.
cuniary obligations of the Government.
The occurrence of this result has for some time
been apprehended, and efforts made to avert it,
as the principle difficulty Nises from a prohibi.
lion in the present law to re.issue such Treasury
mites as might he paid in before they fall due,
and may be effectually obviated by giving the
Treasury during` the whole year the benefit of
the full amount originally authorised; the reme
dy would seem to be obvious and easy.
The serious embarrassments likely to arise
from a longer continuaneeof the present state of
things induces me respectfully to invite the ear
liest action of Congress to the subject which may
be consistent to a due regard for other public
9,541 I interests. M. VAN BUREN.

Mineraville, May 16 37-3*
AS it appears, that because M r. Crane obtained
no patent for smiltieg Iron Ore with An
tfiracite Coal in this country; many suppose that
they are now at liberty to , adopt the method 4 of
smelting Iron ore with Anthracite by the use of
a heated air blast; although I gave notice last
year that I had a patent Per smelting - Iron Ore
with Anthracite Coal, both by the use of a cold
atmospheric and a heated air blast, I would now
inform the public again;that on the 44th of lan.
nary, 1838, I received -a letter. from the Commis
sioner of Patents at Washington, stating: "Sir,
upon examining the case of Mr. Crane's applica
tion for a patent for Smelting Iron by Means of
Anthracite, I have viewkd his claim as interfering
with your patent of Ike, 1833; -and have given
notice to has attorney of this decision." Every
attempt td Follett Iron ore with anthracite by the
use of a heated air. blast, is an infringement upon
my patent, against , whieh I caution and warn
all men; as I shall prosecute every one infi inging
upon my rights, according to law. And I fur
ther offer to dispose of patent rights for the erect.
ing of furnaces, according to my patent, upon
very moderate terms. • • , .
