The principal occupation of young peo ple who have nothing particular to do, -rents to he novel'reading, at least 1 should jiuli:e so iroiu having seen almost every voting lady within my knowledge with one on hand at hours that might have been profitably devoted to more uselul sitidv. J'his indiscriminate reading oi loose works is undoubtedly one of the evils of the age, ami in niv opinion requires as much reform as profanity, immorality, or intemperance. 1 would not go so far as to proscribe all works of fiction, for there are many incul cating' sentiments well worth the study o! man, hut these arc drawn from nature, and the characters who figure in them are generally but mortals —but lor the vile trash engendering immoral thoughts and feelings, and creating a distaste for solid reading, 1, for one. would be willing to make an auto de ft of the whole tribe. The Rev. James Lyon, of St. Louis, re ceiiilv* delivered a lecture on this subject, in which so faithful a picture is draw n of the reader and writer of such stull, that 1 doubt whether any sensible man can be found to dissent from him in his views. After classifying novel writers, he goes on to show that the writings of such persons cannot be beneficial, for, as a general thing, they have not even the advantage of an . legant style or brilliant characters, while the principles they inculcate are most injti i ions. Novel rentiers he divides into four class es : first, those who consider it fashionable or genteel to read novels; secondly, .the idle in mind and body ; thirdly, the won der iovinff,crednlousand weak ; and fourth ly. the restless and unhappy, those with whom time is a drug, life a burden. He enters into specific descriptions of those different classes of writers and readers, and shows them ofi' in colors not quite so fascinating as those in which their favorite heroes and heroines are usually represent ed, but bis characters are realities, while the heroes and heroines-of romance exist only in the viwd imagination of the author. lie then goes on to describe the defini tion of the characters indispensable to novels of the kind I speak of-—the hero, die heroine, and the villain : ' The hero is, for the irtost part, a fash- ionable rake, a libertine, a free-thinker, an \ outlaw, but fine looking, and possessed of some generous traits o! character, suffi cient, at ieast, to constitute him a' clever fellow,' whom every one must love—or at all events, if censure they must, it is very faint, and only serves to show in bolder relief their insuppressible admiration. ' The heroine is always in love—gener ally with the hero ; but sometimes with a minor character. £he is lovely, patient and incorruptibly constant, and very much oppressed. This rule is almost arbitrary ; hence nothing further can be said about her.' 4 The villain, who is generally a hypo rite in religion, perhaps himself a priest, •>r a minister of the gospel ; or, a dean or n office-bearer in the church ; or he may ■e a school master, or a judge or au offi cer of the law ; or one selected from some class or profession, whose duty it is to rc -irain vice and recommend virtue, is drawn hateful in the extreme, but, at the same ime, most expert and successful in his v litanies; insomuch that, whilst you de test the man, vou cannot but admire his ingenuity, daring and bravery. He is i made to display to the eye of the bebold ■ r, or the mind of the reader, all the devi ous paths of villainy. He gives, by ex ample, full instruction in the arts of the se iucer—the tricks of the gambler—the plots of the assassin—die unerring devices <>f the robber —and the deep laid schemes of the slanderer and traducer.' ' Fools and clowns are also an indispen sable part of the dramatis persona? of the modern novel. They are generally taken rom the sober, industrious, the plain and honest part of the community. The hon st laborer is the 4 butt.' the machine is the • awkward booby,' and the farmer's daugh r is the 4 unfashionable lass,' to be laughed t.' , j There is a great deal of truth expressed a the foregoing paragraphs —truths that ■aiuiot be too forcibly impressed upon the minds of old and young —because the lat er are too frequently led into paths they hould not follow by becoming tainted with i passion for reading such moral miasma, nd, to gratify it, neglect all those obliga oii of duty incumbent on every member ol society. Reader, if you have such a-h on hand, throw it into the tin—that the only fitting place for it. Tun IMPORTATION OF TEA, ('OFFER AND V 001. INTO THE IJMTF.D S'I'ATES IN 18;>1. —The Philadelphia Ledger says that the mportations of tea, coffee and wool into be Fnited Slates during 1851, as shown ■iv the statement accompanying the report • i the Secretary of the Treasury, were as illows : Tea, $1,798,001, whereof was vported si ,129,001, |ea\ iiicr for eousunip n ia the United States $01,008,1 11 . • oiii e imported, $'12,851,070 ; rc-export i >:0I0.000, leaving for consumption in if United States & 12,5J5,070.

NEW YORK, Dec. 11. j At six o'clock, this evening, a large number ! ol invited guests assembled at the Irving House to partake of the dinner given by the Corporation i to Kossuth. Mayor Jvingsland presided, and Judge Ed monds acted as vice president. Kossuth sat on the right of the chairman. There were about 300 persons present, and the dinner for magnifi- i cetice ba3 never been equaled, if "surpassed, in ; this city. At the hour appointed, Kossuth, ac- j conipanied by the .Mayor, entered the room, the ! band playing—" Hail to the Chief." After the cloth bad been removed, a compli- i mentary toast to the illustrious stranger was : proposed and received with the greatest enthusi asm. As soon as ihe feeling subsided, Kossuth arose and said : —ln returning my humble thanks fot the honor you did me by your toast and by coup ling my humble name with that cause which i the dearest aim of my life, I confess to be so overwhelmed with emotion by ail it was my pro digious lot to have experienced since I arrived on your glorious shores, that I am unable to find words to express my feelings, and knowing that all the honor 1 meet with has the highest mean- j ing of principles, I at once beg leave to fall back to my duties, which are the lasting topics ! of my reflections, sorrows and tny hopes ; I must, therefore, humbly embrace the opportuni- j ty to claim your indulgence for a pretty long, : plain and in no case eloquent developement of my humble views to the benefit of that cause, ! which the citizens of the United States, and you particularly, honor with generous sympathy. Kossuth alluded to the sympathy which was felt by tfie people of the United States for Hun gary, but said that his hopes were checked by the ruling and apparently lasting principles left us by our forefathers, we naturally felt an in- I stinctive fear to touch even with improving bands, lie hoped that our glorious constitution i would long endure, lie thought, however, that the United States should not be. altogether guid ed by the principles laid down and established by the founders of thg Union, but, having be come strong enough, they should assist the na tions struggling for freedom, and that they were now in a position to do so without lear from any nation. Washington never even recommended non interference or indifference to the late of other nations. lie only recommended neutrality, and the difference is mighty between these two ideas. Kossuth then proceeded at some length to state his ideas on the subject, quoting from Washington's Farewell Address, to sustain his position. Kossuth then said, 1 stand before you to plead the cause of my country, the cause of your un fortunate brethren, the" cause of humanity. 1 may succeed, or I may fail; but 1 will go on pleading with the faith of the martyrs by which mountains were moved. And 1 may, perhaps, displease you ; hut I w ill say with Luther, " .My God, help me ; 1 eun do no otherwise!" In continuation, he quoted the words of Wash ington to Laiayette, ' Let lis only have twenty years of peace, and our country will cotne to such a degree of power and wealth that we will be able, ia a just cause, to defy any power on earth " He said that never had a country been more foully, sacrilegiously attacked than Hungary. All the sufferings of your country, which drove your foretathers to take up anus, are but slight in comparison with the universal wrongs which we have sutfercd. If that cause is not sufficient to insure the support of good, willing men, then will justice tlv tiie earth, and only the Cains of humanity walk proudly with impervious brow about the ruins of liberty on the earth. He next alluded to the doctrine established by- Mr. Munroe, arid his views upon national mat ters. He said that the United States could not remain indifferent to the cause of freedom throughout the world. He spoke of the Greek struggle, and alluded to Mr. (.'lay arid to Mr. Webster, and also to his reception by the people of A'ew York, and said that the opinion of the people generally is al ready an avowed principle of the policy of the government. Kossuth spoke over two hours, and upon j conclusion, on motion of Alderman Shaw, the propositions and sentiments as expressed by himself were unanimously declared to he the sentiments of the assembly, amid great cheer. . _ 7~ : The Collins Steamers, between New York and Liverpool, now take first cabin passensers at $l2O, and second cabin at >7O. Abraham Markley, of NorriMown, has dis posed of his tavern property—the ' Montgomery House'—for the sum of $22,0(10. Pretty nice sum ! The Philadelphia Ledger states that the Anthracite coal production of the year ending with the lidth of November, 18.71, has been enormously large, exceeding bv one and a quarter million of tons the produce of any former year. The recent elected Judges of the Supreme Court of Ohio, on the l*t instant, drew lots to determine the length of their respective terms. The shortest term falling to the lot of Win. B. Caldwell, he was, in accordance with a pre\ 1 u.s arrangement, declared the Chief Justice of the State. The Excursion Trips on the Pennsylvania Railroad, on the occasion of its opening on the Pittsburg side, took place on Wednesday, 10th instant. The Mayor and Councils, with a j number of other invited guests, took part m the ceremony. The Fort Smith Herald, of the 21st ult., an nounces the death of Brevet Gen. Wm G. Belknap, of the Fifth infantry, lie was on his ' way to Fort Gibson on sick leave, when he be came prostrated by disease and died before he could reach that point where his family was awaiting him. He was a brave and meri torious officer. The Philadelphia papers chronicle, with ex pressions of regret, the decease of John Conrad, Esq., an aged and highly respected resident of j that city. He was at one lime at the head of i one of the largest book publishing houses in the country. He was for many years an Alderman of the city, and for several successive terms was chosen Mayor of the Northern Liberties. Two YOUNG MEN DROWNED.—A most mel ancholy occurrence transpired on Sunday last, I the rehearsal of which is painful:—Two young i men, brothers, named Spear, one aged 17 and the other 21 years, on that day went out on the ice, on Mill Creek, above Mrs. lJoilenbaok's Mill, about one mile above this Borough, for the purpose of fishing. They cut a hole through the ! ice, and succeeded in taking a single fish, when one of them broke through—the oilier brother attempted to rescue him—broke in also—and j both were drowned. It occurred in sight of , their father's residence. — W ilkesbarrt ,Idvocule. TERRIBI.E CRASH. —The new warehouse of Mr. King, on the canal, fell in on Saturday evening. The crash was caused by the weight of barley on the floors, purchased by Mr. K. as , the agent of Mr. Smith, a brewer, of Pittsburg. 'Che loss of the barley will be but trifling, whilst (lie loss of the building will he considerable. ■ The joiMs, it is supposed, were riot such as should have been put into a building for sucli a purpose. We are glad to learn that no one was in the. building at the tisne of the fall.— Kris Chrvu'uh. i KENTUCKY I*. R. SENATOR —On Saturday last, the Legislature of Kentucky elected the Hon. John 13.

He called the family to prayers and then commenced the horrid butchery killing his wile first. His youngest child he laid on the table and severed its head from its body. He then escaped to the woods, and was badly frozen when taken. NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 12.—There was a very large and enthusiastic meeting held at the Ar cade yesterday evening to take measures to procure the release ot John S. Thrasher, lately condemned at Havana and sent to Spain. A series of resolutions were passed calling upon Government to demand the instant release of Mr. 1 brasher, and eloquent speeches were made both by Whigs and Democrats. The meeting was frequently interrupted by cries of 'War,' ' War and other evidences of excited and in dignant feelings. NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 14.— 1n the U. S. Dis trict Uourt, of this city, a somewhat singular -uit has been commenced by the authorities of the United States against Kelly Smith, a rich btoker ot this city, and his son John Chandler Smith, residing in Baltimore.
