Be arrived by the N. C. 'Railway about noon, and after dinner proceeded to his home in a pri ate ' conveyance. We were forcibly struck with the diflcrenee between this quiet and noper- Fecuted transit, and the one occurring just previous to the inauguration. On that exci ting occasion Mr. B. was h u stle,' f rom one ear to the other with a fearful velocity, that raked his hat from his head; and it was only by flattening their chilled noses !against the ear windows that his numerous hungry friends could catch a partial and unsatisfactory glimpse of the great dispenser of earthly blessings. On Thursday he dined :it the Washington House in peace, walked quietly to his carriage, sucking a meditative weed, and iloparted in a dignified but affable manner, shaking hands promiscuously, and making a gracious comprehensive bow to the handful of the faithful, assembled, on a very short notice, to do homage. We noticed seieral mournfully reproaehful faces pres ent, -which must have touched the old gen tleman's heart; and, if he has any snug little places still vacant, we leek forward to a melancholy parting with some of the Mi. eawbers about town. What better could be done with the martyrs to the sale of the Main Line, than to give them little compen sating Governmental opportunities. LIP.

A PCBLIC BENEFACTOR.—It always gives us unalloyed pleasure and satisfaction to record an instance of enterprise and public spirit, which contributes to the comfort of our citizens and the generally creditable ap pearance of our town. We take the occa sion of the recent successful completion of a public improvement of more or less magni tude and importance, to bestow a word of well deserved commendation on the (he will pardon the laudatory adjectives) most lib eral, self-sacrificing and energetic individ ual, who has, with characteristic generosity, spared neither trouble nor expense in erect ing (if that is the proper expression) what will fur many years be (we cannot say stand) an enduring monument to his thought ful benevolence. We consider this one of the most elegant and highly finished insti tutions of our borough. All praise is due, not only to the originator, but to the con tractors and workmen whose labors speak loudly in their favor; and no one will fail to commend the happy combination of i beauty and strength which characterize the entire structure. The plan is simple, but comprehen.ite, and has been carefully car ried out in es cry particular, giving a liar-' monious finish to the whole, by that cele brated calling architect. John Green, Esq., under ,chose exclusive supervision the work was executed. The timber (superior grub plank) was furnished from the Susquehanna Planing Mill, and the spikes purchased, without regard to expense, by the pound, at Cottrell's, or Pfahler's, or Rumple's, or at wholesale in the city of Philadelphia, we are not positively certain which. "Need we add that the "Magnum Opus" here referred to, is the board walk on Front ! street, and the magnaniznpus citizen Mr. Samuel Wright? The carping and envious may exclaim, "Ile didn't pay fir the work out of his own pocket, and be never would have repaired the walk but for a stringent decree of Coun cil, attested by the Town Clerk, and served upon him by the Supervisor." We would merely ask these captious in dividuals how they would like it, if their unusually mammoth dwarf peas, preternat urally straight crooked-necked squashes, wonderfully astonishing four leaved clovers, new back garden fences, or other produc tions, natural and artificial, of exclusively public character and interest, were not duly and respectfully noticed in the Spy! Is there it man so base minded and utterly void of all good feeling, as to begrudge Mr. Wright his little cheap glorification, merely because he could not help himself in the side-walk matter, and really deserves not the least credit for what he has done? Mr. W. being of a naturally retiring dis position, and not at all likely to receive a nomination for any of the county offices, Assembly, or even for the State Senate, he may never again enjoy so favorable an op portunity of tasting that sweetest of terres trial sweets, a blow in the papers. Under these circumstances, we feel that if we do not sound his trumpet no one else will. ROBBERY.—On Monday last, the stable of Mr. Hawn Wilson was entered, and a val uable set of harness stolen. The thief offer. ed it fur sale at the Franklin Ifouse,and af terwards at Mr. Rumple's hardware store, next door to Mr. Wilson's dwelling, but at both places the very low price asked excited suspicion that the harness was stolen, and it was refused. It was finally disposed of to Messrs. Brandt and Vogel. Mr. Wilson, learning the circumstance of the harness being offered fur sale, made farther inquires and recovered it, but the thief eluded Con stable llollingsworth's search. lle is known to be an old offender, Samuel Stoutzenber ger, recently discharged from jail, where he had served his time on a sentence fur firing hay, in Marietta.

Address Of the Lancaster County Agricultural and Xeckanical Society to Me People of the Om n 1 y The importance and advantages of Agri cultural and Mechanical Associations have become so manifest to the people at large, that almost every county in the agricultural districts of the Union has instituted, or is instituting them in their midst, as perma nent institutions. Under this view the offi cers and members of the Lancaster County Agricultural and Mechanical Society appeal to the farmers and mechanics of the city and county, for an earnest co-oFeration in pro moting our industrial pursuits by the yearly exhibition of the choicest products of our rich farms, and the most skilfully wrought work from the hands of our most accom plished artizans. It would be in vain to think that we can hold pace with other com munities in the progress of science and of art, without adopting the means and wield ing the appliances which arc calculated to stimulate the ambition of the farmer, and to elicit the pride and energy of the handi craftsman; and thereby bring out the latent genius of matt which lies dormant fur the want of proper excitement. There , eems to lie nu other means so well calculated to give legitimate food to this sort of moral, mental and physical excite ment if the class of people for whom it is intended, as the holding of au Annual Fair on the plan usually adopted by the Societies. There mind meets mind in social contact, and aggregates and develops, in the space of a fey. days or even hours, what the cynic and recluse might ponder over for years without fathoming its philosophy. There the farmer and mechanic join in honorable emulation to exhibit to the world the pro ducts of their best efforts, brought forth agreeably to the laws and circumstances which gdtern °the operations under which they are produced. There the producing hand finds its honorable mention on the scroll of ju-tiee, as it is spread out upon the hountiMl table of facts, which are the stub born ciidences of worth, that no sophistry or theory can contradict. There it is where honest industry, backed by intelligent and -temaiic auxiliaries revels in the pride that mirk4 man with the attributes which distir4ni•lt him from the mere animal of toil and labor. Mitt ' s career in the short life he spends upon mull would be but a thankless, soul less trffinlation, if he did not aspire beyond the mere provision of animal subsistence.— ' God ha. neck lutn ambitious, and, whether at the anvil, the plow, the elements of law, of phy•te, of theology, he finds the same satislattion in the success of his pursuits whiali reader him a mark of distinction for what he may have brought forth in his best endeavrs. The systematic agriculturist is science personified; and the ingenious me i chaotic develops the jitcts of laws mathemat -1 had and theories intellectual. These, and a thousand other things are within the pro vince of these Societies and their yearly fairs, alien supported by that honorable spirit v,hieli places the farmer and median ic in their• highest position. Man, however hard he may have the inclination to toil, is not intended as merely a beast of burden; and he who does not aspire beyond that, degrades himself in the eyes of a kind Prov idence, and lowers himself in the estimation of those who have cultivated the nobler fac ulties of man as they plodded along the fur row, and as they forged the plastic metal under the hammer of genius. Lancaster county has within it resources and means which enable it to establish a yearly (air that shall be second to none in the Union; and there are at this time Coun ty Societies which far outstrip some of the State Fairs, showing most conclusively that it is the true understanding of the object, and a full appreciation of its merits, that give eclat and success to these institutions. The officers are cheered with the peospect of our own Society from the manifestations thus far. The memberships are taken up with an avidity and spirit that prognosticate a lively and interesting feast of reason for its first exhibition, which is to come off on the 14th, 15th, 16 and 17th of October next; and it will nut be too much to promise the vis itors a realization of their most sanguine expectations. ..ts soon as the Society shall have fully completed its incipient organization, it is their intention to buy grounds and erect thereon suitable buildings on a scale com mensurate with the size and wants of time county, and to put the institution upon such a basis, and establish for it such an interest and merit, that it shall become permanent in its character, useful and instructive in its dispensation., and the pride of thc peo ple of the county . . With this brief and earnest appeal the Society entrusts the success of the establish ment to the pride and spirit of the hundred thousand intelligent citizens comprising the bone, sinew and mind of a richly nourished county. .10S.

IZEronm t c SPELIANG.—Two prizes of £llo and respectively, are offered for the two hest and approved essays on a re form in the spelling of the English language, by the introduction of a phonetic, instead of the present unphonetic system. The essays should include an historical account of the origin and growth of the present imperfect system of spelling; an analysis of the system of articulate sounds and an exposition of those occurring in our language, with a no tice of the various modes in which it has been attempted to express those sounds graphically, and a suggestion for doing so, in which care should be taken that no letter should express more than one sound, and that no sound should be expressed by more than ono letter, and that as few now types as possible :should be admitted. MAN LoST IN A CORN Fir.tv NOT FOUND UN TIL THE FOURTII DAY.—Great solicitude was created a short time since by the absence of our old friend, Daniel S. Morrison, of lint Spring county. He has a very remarkable field of corn, and walking down one evening to see what damage the coons were doing, he chanced to stroll too far from the fence, soon became lost and bewildered in the im mense growth of corn. He wandered for three days, sub.isting during that time on green corn, His negroes becoming alarmed about him cummonced a diligent search, and found him on the fourth day. He was then busily engaged in rubbing two dry sticks to gether to make fire, the green corn having produced an unpleasant sensation in his stomach. lie thinks he would have found his way out on the third day but be got in to a patch of Black Republican beans, and then gave up.—Little Rock, Ark, Gaz.

We learn from the Leavenworth corres pondence of the St. Louis Republican, that the officers constituting the Utah territorial government have not yet started fur their destination. They were at one time on the point of doing so, but were stopped by au order from the War Department. The ex pedition will set out as soon as Cul. Johnson arrives at Leavenworth to take C0111111:1114--- Forced marches will have to be made to reach Salt Lake valley before the commence ment of winter. Discoveries of gold mines are reported to have been made recently in the mountains of the South Platte region, by a party of re turning California emigrants belonging to the Cherokee nation. We learn from Washington that the Ad ministration has official news of the fitting out or three expeditions, in New Orleans, Mobile and New York, against Nicaragua, under the lead of Walker; and also of an other in Texas, designed to invade Mexico, and seize the State of Tamaulipas. The Administration is said to have taken steps to enforce the neutrality laws. The redoubtable, Colonel Kinney has again turned up. After reaching Ituatan, he was found to be so suspicious in his movements, that the British authorities nt Belize sent word to the Ruatan authorities to keep strict guard over him. A corres pondent of the New York Herald alleges that the people of Ruatan offered to ref olt, frame a constitution, and elect Kinney President, if he would accept. With a won . drous degree of magnanimity, be refused.— Next he went to Belize, and again got into trouble with the British. What he is after is a problem. The melancholy intelligence of the loss of of the California Mail steamship Central America, proves to be too tree. The Swed ish barque Eloise has arrived at Norfolk with thirty-seven passengers on board, saved from the wreck, of whom twenty-six are fe males. The barque Saxony lets also arrived at Savannah with five more of the saved pas sengers on board. A portion of the crew, and females and children, altogether forty-six were saved by the brig Marine, bound to Boston. It is positively stated that all the female and children passengers on board the Central America were rescued. Among the saved were the second officer, second assist ant engineer, two firemen, and two cooks.— The steamer was lost when two miles off Cape Hatteras, on Saturday, the I 2.th inst., in the great gale which swept so destruct ively our whole southern coast. The sea was very heavy at the time the ship foun dered. The chief engineer, Mr. George E. Ashby, deserted the ship about an hour be fore the finale, in a boat, which, of course, must have contained others also. The two millions of dollars in gold on board the steamer were lost, as were also the mails.— At the time of the disaster, the Central America contained 525 passengers, and 101 officers and crew, making in all 626 per sons. Tho following,' aro additional particulars of the loss of the Central America.. Two of her boats were stove in launching them. The others were used in putting the survivors on board the friendly vessels, and the steamer sunk before they returned. All on board were furnished with life pre servers and put them on, but when the ves sel sunk the tremendous suction downwards drew off the life preservers and separated the people from the fragments of the wreck they clung to. Capt. Herndon, who coin mar ded the steamer, was the well known naval officer, Lieutenant William L. Hern don, whose exploration of the Amazon has rendered his name funous. He was a na tive of Virginia, in the 40th year of his age, and leaves a wife and daughter. He was a brother-in-law of Lieut. Maury, end was for some time connected with the National Ob servatory at Washington. Senators Gwin and Broderick were not among the passengers by the Central Amer- ica. The brig Marine, with her rescued passengers from the wreck, arrived at Nor folk on Friday night. Chief Engineer Ash by has gone on to New York, and announces his anxiety to meet any investigation rela tive to his conduct. lie says that he was sent in the boat by the Captain's orders, to convey passengers to the brig Marine, and to arrange with the Captain of the brig to bring his vessel closer, and that the boat's crew reftised to return to the steamer, all deserting to the brig. He says that the en gines were stopped by the rapid rising of the water, so as to prevent hecess to the coal bunkers. The survivors on board the Marine entertain strong hopes that others are saved, as they saw several lights in the distance on the night of the disaster. Our foreign advices to the 9th, have come to hand by the arrival at New York of the steamship City of Baltimore. A panic ex isted in commercial circles in Paris, at the last accounts. The Credit If,,bilier was in bad odor, and everybody was deserting it in alarm. It has become embarrassed by the Thu rneyssen bankruptcy. In Pernambuco, the British Vice Consul, Mr. Goßan, has been barbarously murdered by some person unknown. The government of Buenos .Ayres has is sued a decree confiscating all the property of General Rosas, for high treason. Some light has been at length thrown upon the Spanish-Mexican trouble. The negotiations stuck at the question of indem nity, which the Mexican Minister was will ing to concede, in conformity with the laws of nations, but which the Spanish govern ment imperatively demanded to be conceded unconditionally. At this point, the media tion of England and France was offered and accepted, and Spain under it has suspended her warlike preparations. It appears that the anxiety of the allies arose from the fear of the United States profiting by this quarrel to seize Cuba. It is also stated that the Spanish plan of operations contemplated first the excitement of civil war in Mexico, by reinstating Santa Anna, and, second, the conversion of Mexico into a monarchy, with a Spanish Bourbon on tho throne. The arrival of the Canada at Halifax puts us in possession of three days later advices. The news, however, is not important. From India nothing later had been learned. Some interesting matters will be found relative to the Submarine Telegraph Company, and also concerning the effect produced in Eng land by the panic in the American money market. The Belfast riots unfortunately have been renewed, and indicate an unhappy state of feeling among the lower classes.— Cotton had advanced, while breadstuffs were decidedly quiet. gailfts.
