Basin.
TUE GENERAL. BANKING LAW.—The Gen
eral Banking Law passed during the last
sessi m of the Legislature radically changes
the system of Banking in our State. We
give an abstract of the bill to our readers
this week.
Oun CANDIDATE.—By announcement in
to-day's ..Ski it will be seen that Gen. Bar
tram A. Shaeffer offers himself as a candi
date of another term in the State Senate.
Gen. Shaeffer has served the State in several
capacities, and in none with more credit
than in that of State Senator; his record is
a fair one and entitles him to re-election.
Not on public grounds, however, do we en
dorse him; he may be the embodiment of
every political virtue, but the Spy platform
being of strictly social planks, from our
friendly private relations with the General
du we hoist hoist his name fur State Senator.
May he be nominated with enthusiasm.
Tax BELLEVUE.—The Bellevue House is
now in the h•tnds of Mr. Samuel IL Lock
ard, as will be seen by reference to his ad
vertisement in today's Spy. Mr. Lockard
has set out to keep a first rate house and to
accommodate the public to the extent of his
ability. Who doubts his success? lie has
all the qualities of a popular landlord, and
will doubtless make the Bellevue a favorite
house of call. Travelers may be s,:tistied
that nt his hands they will receive good
treatment. We' wish him every success.
CHANGE OF Ttstc.—This week the time
of arrival and Departure of the trains for
York and B.tltitnore was change 1 to cor
respond with the running of the P. R. R.
Trains. The Morning Train reaches here
at G. 30 and leaves at G 53; the noon train
.11-rives at 12.15 and leaves at 12.30, and the
evening train arrives at 5 o'clo.dr. and leaves
at 5.10.
Tae RED SIIIRTI.—With the lumber come
shad flies and live Yankees. We have had
a sprinkling of the picturesque woodsmen
with 11.1 thin week, who have made serious
inroads on the stock of peanuts and best
•'corn". The rush has not been general, how
ever, and our streets have enjoyed compara
tive quiet. These boys spread themselves
alarmingly sometimes, and take up a deal
of sidewalk, but are in the main only offen
sive in walk an 1 conversation; they seldom
do much damage—except to their inner man.
t We ors glad to see them cent° in shoals, and
Will endeavor to accommodate them always
with street room and releye.
Joi.tEr TAKcs Dows.—On Wednes
day our neighbor over the way, Jolley, crea
ted a comnwtiun at the Spy corner by
photographing the establishment of Messrs,
Ehristnan & Flannery below us. The re
sources of the saloon, with a goodly delega
tion of its customers, were displayed on the
pavement, and Jolley took the crowd. The
picture, a first rate one, naturally included
the Spy office in the second story, with the
entire working strength of the concern in
active employment—looking out of the win
dow.
By the way, our neighbors down stairs
have taken the entire ground floor and have
opened an extensive saloon where every
refreshment may be had, from lager to n
good song. B. 43:, E. are enterprising boys,
and have the satisfaction of being apprecia
ted. Thefr custom is large.
TM RIVER. AND RAFTING.—The- -high
water , has, as was expected, brought us, a
fleet of rafts fromthe head=waters, but not
go larger, a proposition of the Spring .supply
'of litmlier as fie' had anticipated. The
shottrkas been pretty well lined with rafts
during the week both above and below the
Bridge, most of which arrived on Wednes
dai and Thursday. The luidber;-a-1 far:as
we can ascertain, is principally from Pine
Creek and the Sinnemahoning. There have
been but few rafts from the North Branch,
and they report but a partial freshet in
those waters. The rafts from that region
barely got through, and, found the water
increase as they descended. The freshet on
the West Branch was general, and most of
the lumber got out, except a portion still in
the head-waters of,Pine creek.. The reports
from the south indicate heavy rains and
high watcr, and the freshet in the West
Branch is reported to have-proceeded mostly
from heavy floods in streams running from
the South ; the northern branches were not
very high. This will account fur the lack
of water in the North Branch. The water
has fallen very rapidly this week, and noth
ing hke the entire fleet of rafts has reached
this place. A great many are aground at
tarious points about us, and will have to
await another water. A considerable num
ber of rafts have been run to "Tide" many
of them lumber, but by far the larger pro
portion timber.
Very little business has yet been done
hero in lumber. Reported heavy stocks of
timber at Williamsport and L-ck Haven
Mills warn our de liars of competition dar
t ing, the summer, and they are accordingly
cautious in their purchases. Prices have
nut yet Leconte settled, but there is every
i indication that the rates will be below last
year's.
PROr. FOWLER'S LECTURE.—On 1:1!!t, Wed
nesday evening Prof. L. N. Fowler com
menced a series of Lectures on Phrenology
in Odd Follows' Hall, which was continued
on Thursday and Friday evenings. On
Wednesday evening, for want of sufficiently
early and general announcement, the house
was not so well filled as the interest of the
lecture deserved, but on the following eve
nings the Hull was well filled by audi
ences composed of our most intelligent
citizens.
Professor Fowler stands !done ES 01 lec
turer on Phrenology, and his expositions of
the science during his preent lecturing
tour, have been ev , ry where favorably re
ceived. He has been to Waihintrron and
Baltimore recently, and came to directly
from York, whore he has just finished a
course of lectures. He goes to Harrisburg
from here, commencing the delivery of his
series there on Monday evening. Prof.
Fowler is of the publishing firm of Fowler
& Wells, of New York. Mr. Wells accom
panies him, and takes part in the lecture.,
in introducing subjects for examination, Sze.
His courtesy is notable, and has been ap
preciated by our public.
Prof. Fowler in his public examinations
made many palpable hits, and gave general
satisfaction in his re idin,g of the characters
of subjects. An unfbrtunate modesty with
which our people are afflicted, prevented
many from embracing this opportuni y to
have their virtues made public. We pre
sume many subjected their craniums to the
Professor's private manipulations and judg
ment.
Gonrr's LADY'S B ,OK.—The April num
ber of Godey, in advance of all competitors,
has been received. It contains the usual
variety of entertaining m ater, with a fair
proportion of illustrations, and the wonder
one workings of Fashion. 'We need not ad
vise our dtdy readers to • buy Godey, grr he
is near their hearts always, and he is taken
in every well regulated household.
Are, THE YEAR Rousn:=The April num•
her of "All the Year It mod" is full of
entertaining, and instructive reading. The
"Woman in White," by Wilkie Collins
continued—a story in which the intereAt is
never allowed to flag fur a moment ; the
reader is kept on the look-out for the some
thing to come which does not come, but
will, in good time, as is the wont of all ficti
tious mysteries. Mr. Dickens continues his
sketches by an "Kmcommercial Traveler,"
which are in his happiest style. "Turkish
Prisons" is an entertaining article in this
number. We can most heartily commend
"Ail the Year it mmt" as one of the very
best periodicals of the day.

Tits JApaxasc Ell6.ls,ar.—The Japanese
embassy, who have arri , -ed at San Francisco
in the United States Steamer Powhatan,
Captain Pearson, bearing the flag of Cam.
Tatnall, consists of two principal ambassa
dors, princes of the highest rank among the
nobility or the empire, and two associates,
who are nobles of nearly equal rank. These
four are of the Emperor's Council. They
are accompanied by a suite of sixteen offi
cers. Among them are three interpreters
andftfty-two subordinates—making seventy
two in all.
The Powhatan arrived at Honolulu, March
sth, and remained till the 18th. The am
bassadors were there received with all
formal honors. Private hospitalities were
extended on every hand, and the king and
queen held court at the palace for the re
ception of the distinguished foreigners, and
welcomed them in appropriate terms. They
were also entertained at a grand ball given
by the officers of the Powhatan, expressing
great delight at the gay and novel scene.—
They bring 5100,000 to defray their personal
expenses, although the embassy is invited at
the sole expense of the United States. They
were given the best quarters on board the
Powhatan during the voyage, and arrived in
good health and highly pleased. The chief
dignitaries are magnilicently dressed in em
broidered silk robes, each wearing a sword
of beautiful workmanship. They have con
ducted themselves with great dignity and
propriety.
At San Francisco all the corporation offi
cers, the members of the Legislature, the
Governor, and citizens generally, paid their
respects in person to the •!istinguished
strangers, and on the 2nd instant a grand
public reception was given at the largest
ball in the city, where the United States' of
ficers, both civil and military, with the for
eign consuls and State authorities, partici
pated in the reception ceremonies.
The Japanese carry an immense amount
of baggage, including many boxes of pres
ents to the United States Government. It
was expected they would sail from San
Francisco in the Powhatan on the sth in
stant, for Panama, and proceeding thence to

A LARGE BREWERY.— One of the largest es
tablishments of the kind in the world is the
brewery of Barclay and Perkins, situated in
Southwark, London. This brewery was foun
ded by Dr. Johnson's friend, Henry Thrale,
wt o, in 1773 (according to the statement made
by the doctor, in his "Hebridian Tour,") was
paying as much as $lOO,OOO annually to the
excise department. -After Thrale's death the
executor sold it (for S 685,000) ro Barclay, a
descendant of the author of the "Apology of
the Quakers," and Perkins, who had been
Tbrale's chief clerk. Since that time the
business has assumed vast proportions, as the
following statistics will show : The building
covers upwards of 10 acres ; two steam en.
gines, equal to 7.5 horse power, are required
to work the machinery; there are 24 malt.
bins, each equal in size to an extraordinary
three-story house; and Westminster Hall is
not much larger than the great brewing room.
More than 100,000 gallons of water are used
daily, and 2,000 quarts of Malt weekly. Ten
brewing coppers have an aggregate capacity
of 150,000 gallons; there are four fermenting
vessels, each capable of holding 1,500 barrels
of beer. The cooling floor has a surface of
more than 1,000 square yards: 300 vessels, of
309 gallons each, are used in the working off
of the yeast from the beer, which is stored in
120 vats, the longest of which holds 108,000
gallon., and the average give 30,000 gallons
each. Two hundrqd horses and drays are
employed in distributing beer to London re
tailers.
A LANTERN CANE.—One of the most uni
que of recent Yankee inventions is a care,
which is also a lantern, a stout, elegant
walking-stick, and a brilliant, steady light.
The lar.tern is set in the body of the cane
about six inches from its top, and so ns not
to disfigure its proportions or beauty, and
can be lit at pleasure by pulling the cane
apart, or borne along dead, when the cane,
without close observation. is undistinguishn
ble from a largo sized walking-stick. It is
a useful invention for doctors, watchmen,
editors of daily papers, young men who "sit
up" late with people who ain't their sisters,
and all other classes who have to be out o'
nights.
INV:ME:MESS i Etirform- , :ffev. Theodora
Parker, in onn of his letters from Europ e ,
published in the Liberator, says:— •
• "In Europe you sea many things which
seem strange to an American. rake the
use °Twine. If lam right,. the Europeans
consume about 6,500,000,M gallons of
wine. In France, leave out of account the
pasture land which isnot ploughed, and the'
forests, of the actual arable.land, one-third
is devoted to the culture of the grapel Yet
there are immense districts where no wine
can be raised at alt. I see - it stated that the
government returns make it appear that the
people of Franco drink 850,000,000 gallons
of wine, and the calculation is tlitat the
amount is ant much less than 1,000,000,000!
Yet I don't believe, is the year 1859, there
was so much drunkenness among the 39,
000,000 people of France as among the
. 3,
.000,000 Yankees of New England. I have
been four months at Rome; there are wine
shops everywhere; I am out of doors from
three to six bathe a day, and I have never
jet seen a man drank; now and then one is
merry, never intoxicated. The Romans,
Italians, French, &c., are quite Temperate;
they drink there weak wine with water, and
when they take liquor, it is only a little
glass-full at a time (Which does not make a
spoon/hi). I don't believe there is a bar in
all Italy whore men step up and drink rum
and water, gin and water; &c. Excessive
drinking is net the taste of the people. In
the north of Europe, and even in Switzer
land, it is not so. 'The English, without
help from the Irish and'Ssotch, drink about
600 or 700,000,000 gallons of beer every
year, not to speak of the wine, spirits, &c.,
they take- to wash it down withal. There is
drunkenness. So you find it in Scandina
via, in Holland and North Germany. how
do you think the Americans will settle the
drink question? Certainly, not by taking
merely to water, tea, coffee &c. Wo Shall
have more beer, perhaps return to the mak
ing of cider, and cetainly plant vines where
they will grow. Drunkenness is such a
monstrous and ghastly evil, I would do al
most anything to' get rid of it. But I some
times think we have taken the wrong track.
I am glad to see the license law introduced
in the New York legislature, and I think it
will do nu re good than our New England
scheme of prohibition by force."
THE KEY NOTE.—Nothing is more unac•
countable than the spell that often lurks in
a spoken word. A thought may be present
to the mind, so distanctly that no utterance
could make it more so; and two minds may
be conscious of the same thought, in which
one or both take the profoundest interest ;
but as long as it remains unspoken, their
familiar talk flows quietly over the hidden
idea, as a rivulet may sparkle and dimple
over something sunken in the bed. But,
speak the word; and it is like bringing up a
drowned body out of the deepest pool of the
river, which has been aware of the horrible
secret all along, in spite of its smiling sur
face.—Hawthorne.
POPULATION OF CULVA.—The last census of
China gave as the population four hundred and
fourteen millions six hundred and eighty-six
thousand nine hundred and ninety-lour, and
this is supposed to be entitled to credence.--
Thus it appears that that empire has been
steadily increasing in the number of its inhabi
tants. In 1857 the census gave only ono hun
dred and ninety millions three hundred and for
ty.eight thousand three hundred and twenty 7
eight ; in 1780 it gave two hundred and seven
ty-siven million five hundred and forty-eight
thousand four hundred and thirty-one; in 1812
there were three hundred and sixty-one mil
lion six hundred and ninety-three thousand one
hundred and seventy-nine, and in 1841 there
were four hundred and thirteen millions four
hundred and fifty-seven thousand three hun
dred and eleven.
0:7 - Tbe Hartford Press has a good story to
tell about John Van Buren. He bad taken
some technical, legal advantage, by which his
opponent's client in an action was nonsuited.
The man was furious, and declared his pur
pose to give John is piece of his mind when be
saw him—he would wither him. Happening
to see John one day at Downing's standing at
the bar, getting outside of a dozen New York
Bays, he bodily confronted the Prince,'and be
ing a small man, looked up at him fiercely, and
burst out—" Mr. Van Buren, is there any client
so low and mean, or any case so nasty that
you won't undertake to defend him in it?"
don't know," said John, stopping to put away
another oyster, then bending down and confi
dentially drawling out his reply in the little
man's ear, ' , what have you been doing?"
TAKING IT COOLLY.—The most singular
arm which the Japanese employ in the bat
tle-field, is the war fan. This is a paper
fan of n larger size than usual, the sheathes
of which are made of iron, so that if fatigued
by a violent personal encounter, a warrior
gets down fur a moment to rest and cool
himself, and if unexpectedly attacked, he
immediately hits his enemy over the head
with his fan. The pattern on the fan is the
national emblem, a red sun on the black
ground; but the process of fanning one's
self with an iron fan cannot be roJlinh.
