GnAu.vw ?OR M.ty.—We have received this favorite Philadelphia monthly, which comes up to its old standard of excellence in the general matter; and, in our opinion, far ex; coeds it in the peculiar feature in which Mr. MACE S.

CLARK. of the Knickerbocker, the old original "gossip" will have to look out for his laurels: Mr. Leland makes a formidable foray into his peculiar hunting groundt .

We most heartily cuuunend the system pursued at this excellent school for the training of the blind pupils from utter helplessness to self reliant usefulness. It is one of those insti tutions of which any community may be proud, and we fpel Ito doubt that it will he liberally sustained by the patronage and benevolence of the public. 'WATER CURT. JOITIGNAL 101: APRIL—The sight of this familia r face, carried us back, as it scents to us, tifty years, and sent a cold chill down our lack, as we recalled the thundering descent or the "big douche" that used to fn 5e our spinal column to such an extent that Zee now wonder that we remain a "Northern. man witlt backbone." It brought baci the pleasant recollection of charming little screams. and splashy shudders, that used to ascend through the floor, from tine "plunge bath" in the base ment; more ttritali.tipg to our ears than the accompanying hum of the usual regiment of besieging mos -.luitues: we, meanwhile, lying "in pack," we iting with pers-piring, patience for the fair interlopers to depart, and give us a fair show to "go ip." They scented to take a malicious pleaspi:p in keeping us in fomentation until wetere reduced to the consistence of wet rag: and only decamped upon the repeated thrats of "Gus," the bath-tender, that lie would climb through the window and turn tlicni out neck, and heels. And when we "went in," with much trepidation, our anxious appeal to be let out again; and the stolidity of the int:ion:de "(los," who stood over us with watch in one hand, the other performing the office of thermometer upon our shiverlog hide', never bateing an instant of the time necessary, in his opinion, to bring our heated blood down to a perilous proximity to zero. But his polishing afterward with a coarse dry slioet was heavenly. And then the mum mifying operation of 'bandaging our diges- tires! it was generally effected by hitching one end of some three to five yards of coarse towelling to a series of hooks, and by a Poculinr waltz motion, - superior to either polka or deux-temps, winding ourself right up. It always reminded us of swathing an infant in the complicated wrappings that seem to be necessary to the proper develop. ment of juvenile humanity. The similarity was increased by the mode of fastening, With large pins; generally, if possible, so disposed as to goad the wearer in a most pleasant and eatifactory manner. • Thom the fearful featj'a pstetestrianista, d the consequently ferocious attacks upon the farinueloussfeed. All those and many other recollections flocked back, when our old friend the "Jour nal" made ks appearance; and when we think of . the digestion, incapable of entering successfully into a single-handed encounter with a raw oyster, that we carried with us for ."bratttnent," and the "tough old -sub jeot" we brought away after a few months'. soy'>inp, we feel thankful for an opportu nity of wishing success to the able advocate of "water cure," of which this is an excel lent number.

(Cummuniratal ~,,Tar—Par.snrrimv or Dosco.u., met in the Presbyterian Church in this place, on Tues day evening last according to announce- Ment, and was opeaed with a sermon by the Rer. L. C. Rutter. There was an unusually large attendance both of ministers and laymen. The Rev. John Leaman, Wa6 chosen Moderator, and the Rev. .7. J. Lane, continued Reading Clerk for the ensuing year. Reports on the state of religion in the different churches were made to the Presby tery, some of which were highly enconrag ing, and others !tech less so. Ministers and Elders spoke with much feeling and earnestness as to tie growing prevalence of intemperance, profanity, and Sabbath dese cration, in their respective communities; and the question was considered at some length, iii view of the alarming prevalence of vice and immorality, what ought to be dorie by the friends of religion and order for the pro- Motion of temperance. and to secure the enforcement of the laws for the suppression of vice and crime. Mr. Calvin Stuart, was examined upon his theological studies, and his trial dis courses heard; which being found satisfac tory, he was licensed to preach the Gospel. A young man, Mr. J. Manifold, was exam ined and taken under the care of Presby tery, as a candidate for the Gospel ministry. A call from the Union Church, in Cole rain township, for the Rev. Mr. Vanarsda leo, and a remonstrance to the same, occu pied 'much of the time of the Presbytery, calling forth much earnest discussion; after which the call was declined. The Rev. Thomas Crawford, and Mr. David Mitchell, Elder, were chosen Com missioners to the General Assembly, to meet at Lexington, Ky., on the 21st of May next; and the Rev. Mr. Rittenhouse, and Mr. A. Armstrong, their alternates. The Presbytery adjourned on Thursday evening at 10 o'clock, to meet in the church of Union, in October next. The members left, expressing the highest satisfaction with the liberal and sumptuous hospitality which they had received. ARRIVAL OF THE ARABIA NEW YORK, April IG.—The steamship Arabia is signaled below. She brings dates from Liverpool to Satur• day the 4th, and has taken the place of the Persia, withdrawn for repairs. Her dates are three days later that received by the Errieson. Arrests continue to be made in Paris of conspirators against the government. Madrid reports say that the Spanish force will under every circumstance occupy a por tion of Mexico territory for the protection of Spanish subjects. Austria had issued a new circular against Sardinia. France and England strongly remonstrate with both Sardinia and Austria to keep peace. The difficulty between Austria and Sar dinia is widening. • Prussia announces the determination to maintain her policy, restricting the Danish Dutchies, and have ordered the coast de fence to be strengthened. The Russians continue their forces at Anappa against the Circassians. The Chinese details confirm previous tele graphic adviees. and repeat the report that the .Emperor ordered Yeh to make peace on any terms, but it is doubted. The American ship High Flyer was wrecked at Formosa. The crew was mur dered and the bill!) burned. IMPORTANT FROM NICARAGUA.-By the southern mail last night we received Charles ton papers of Monday last, containing an nouncements of the arrival there on the day previous of the steamship Isabel, from Ha vana and Key West. A letter to the Charles ton Mercury. dated Key West, April 10th, mentions the arrival there of the steamship Tennessee, from Sun Juan and Aspinwall. She reached Havana on the Bth, Key West on the 10th, and was to leave the latter port on the same night. The letter in the Mer cury mentions the following items of news as brought by her. Col. Lockridge had abandoned Castillo. Serapiqui and the San Juan river were again in complete posses sion of the Costa Ricans. So it appears that his expedition up the river has accom plished nothing in the way of opening it.— A dreadful explosion had taken• place on board the steamer J. N. Scott, (on the river, we presume, though.the letter does not say,) by which sixty persons had lost their lives. The Tennessee had on board several officers attached to Lockridge's command, and about fifty filibusters, sick and wounded. Instructions have been issued from the War Department ordering Gen. Harney and troops immediately from Florida to Fort Leavenworth. Col. Sumner, with a force of about IMO men, has also been ordered against the lowa and Cheyenne Indians.— On the restoration of peace in those quar ters, he will proceed with his troops to Utah—the shameful licentiousness of which ' Territory the Administration is determined shall he broken up. It is estimated that early in June there will be at least 3000 United States troops in Kansas, tinder the command of Major General Harney and Persifer F. Smith. The arrangements made last fall for a deputation of Choctaws and Seminoles from the West of the Mississippi,. to pay a visit to Billy Bowlegs, and endeavor to coax him to remove West, will be carried out in a few days. nusrostro teur.r or WALKEFt.---_yer Or- Aprii‘l3.—ft is rumored that prepa rations are being made to send a thousand men from - Cliarleston for the relief ortValk er, and - that Charleston and Zl:evr Or vans contribute 'Zrtflid toward the 'defraying of expenneti. COL. LOCKffIDCE'S VICTORY at Castillo, it now turns out, rests on his own report, sent to San Juan to Captain J. N. Scott, by a courier. lle says that lie lost twenty-seven men and killed one hundred Costa Ricans. Another account says that he met with a most severe repulse at Castillo, where he was obliged to cut the ropes of his steam boat in order to save himself against a most furious bayonet charge of the Costa Ricans. Fifty men whom ho left in that village, were cut to pieces, and their corpses were seen floatinr on the river, to become the prey of the crocodiles. Reinforcements amounting to 150 men, arrived and joined their hapless comrades. -LAGER BIER.-A Lager Bier Festival of brewers from New York, Philadelphia, New ark, Ifoboken, Wilmington and other places, was held in New York last week, when a premium was awarded. to. Messrs. Glaatz & Kuchler, for the best beer, which was sold to the visitors at one shilling per glass— three times the usual price. The medal or premium awarded, is a curious figure of a man, the body of which represents a huge barrel, whilst other devices of the trade are combined to make up the apparel. The whole is a representation of a mythological character known to the Germans as "Gam brenc," or the god of beer, in deification of the first manufacturer of that drink. They are common, we understand, throughout Bavaria and the German States, where fes tivals similar to this one are frequently held. This was the first festival of the kind ever held in this country, and the figure was the first awarded by the managers of the "Gar den." THE GREAT CATASTROPHE.—The impres sion that the world is to be at an end on the 13th of June, is so prevalent in Gallacia that the peasants are becoming somewhat diffi cult to manage. The poor ignorant crea tures have been confirmed in the idea that they have but a few more weeks to live by the abolition of the "passport torture" in Austria, and the reduction of the passport tax in Russia. According to a Polish cor respondent of the Ost Deutsche Post, the lower classes express themselves as follows: —"No one now troubles himself about the world and its inhabitants. A man can go where he pleases, as it is now all the same wherether he is here or in America." A WOODEN MAN IN THE P. O.—M. Sal les, arquebusier to the Emperor Napoleon, has invented a post office automaton, which takes up every letter thrown in the box, places it under the stamp, where it receives the post mark and date, and throws it out again for delivery to its destination. The general post office has made a trial of the invention which has turned out satisfactori ly, and it is now in treaty with M. Salles for machines to be furnished to all the prin cipal post offices throughout France. A WRECK.—As Krautsalaat was passing down Market street, the other day, with a friend, he observed a poor dog that had been frozen to death, lying in a gutter.— Krautsalaat paused, gazed silently at the defunct animal, and at last said— " Here's another shipwreck." " Shipwreck !—where?" inquired his friend. ••There, for dont you see there's a bark that's lost forever." Tne Sec Alt CANE.-G. W. Ken dall, foimerly of the New Orleans Picayune, is farming in Texas, and experimenting upon the Chinese sugar cane. He says that it will stand a drouth better than any thing he has ever seen. The first frost, however, kills it. ttek,..A person who was recently called in court fur the purpose of proving the correct ness of a doctor's bill, was asked by the lawyer whether the doctor did not make several visits after the patient was out of danger. "No," replied the witness, "I considered the patient in danger as long as the doctor continued his visits." vat-A railroad conductor having insulted a lady passenger, she said indignantly, that the company that owned that road should nut see another cent of her money. "How so?" said the conductor; you manage it?" "Hereafter," replied the lady, "instead of buying my ticket at the office, I shall pay my fare to you!" QA fellow slipped down on nu icy pavement. While sitting, he muttered: "I have no desire to see the town burned down , but I sincerely wish the streets laid in ashes." 1219...11emp it is thought. ought to make good noose paper.

Hermes INK, made in. Philadelphia, is a great comfort to editors, and we suspect even greater to compositors, seeing that its flu idity leaves no excuse for bad or charred writing—the great foes of type-setters.

NATIONAL SAFETY SAVING FEND.-Our readers are requested to read, with atten tion, the notice of the Saving Fund of the _National Safety Company, which appears in our advertising columns. This is an old and well established Institution, which now has nearly one million and a half of Dollars, invested in the very best securities for the safety of Depositors. People who have large sums often come from a great distance to put their money in it, on account of the superior security it affords. The office, it will be observed, is in Walnut street ; South- West corner of Third, Philadelphia. SerWe see by our Lancaster exchanges, that Glasco Finture, the negro who excited so much alarm - among the timid in COhire bia, some three or four years since, died of consumption in the County" Prison on Sun day night last.
