3ittelligettar & IfournaL GEORG ANDERSON, EDITOR Lancaster, November 27, 1849. PROSPECTUS 4 For publishing in the City of Lancaster, in connexion with.lhe Intelligence,,a German Democratic paper, to be called the LANCASTER EAGLE. AT the urgent solicitation of many Democratic friends, as well as from our own belief that a paper of the kind is greatly needed in the County of Lan caster, and could be well sustained by our Girman population, we propose issuing a German paper with the above title, as soon as a sufficient number of subscribers can be obtained to warrant the un dertaking. The paper shall be conducted on strictly Demo cratic principles, and will advocate the men and measures of the party zealously and fearlessly. orrict attention Will also Dc paid to -tric ittensry and news departments, and nothing shall be omitted on our part to make it a useful familyand political journal. Should a sufficient number ofi subs'Cribera be ob tained, the publication of the paper will be com menced about the Ist of January next'. The "EAGLE" will be printed on a medium sheet, and furnished to subscribers at the low price of $l,OO per annum—payable in advance, or before the expiration of six months from the time of sub scribing. GEO. SANDERSON. INTELLIGENCER OFFICE, Lancaster, September 11, 1849. D7' The proceedings of the County School Meet; ing, held at the Court House, on Wednesday last, were handed us at too late an hour for publication this week. They shall appear in our next. Lecture. The Rev. T. P. Hvirr, the renowned Temperance Lecturer, will deliver his first lecture this evening (Tuesday,) in the German Reformed Church. The Public are invited to attend. il:rWe understand that the Grand Jury of this County, at their recent session, recommended the building of a new Court House, on some more pro per and eligible site than the present one is located. This is right—as a building cif the kind is very Much needed. But, we are sorry that the subject of zi new Market House does not also come within the province of the Grand Jury. If it did, we think that body would have no difficulty in recom mending to Councils the propriety of at once erect• ing one or two, where all who have occasion to attend market might be suitably and comfortably accommodated. Cot Asa Dlmock. This gentleman's name is favorably spoken of in many places in connexion with the State Treasury ship. The Colonel is a most excellent man, and a sound and reliable Democrat, and?if the nomina tion should fall in the northern section of the State, and he hails from Susquehanna county, then we know of no man who is more deservering, or who would be likely to render more general satisfaction to the people. His experience in that office—having been Chief Clerk under both Treasurers SNOWDEN and PLefuEn—and his acknowledged business tal ents and integrity, are a sure 'guarantee that, in his hands, the financial department of the govern ment would be managed in such a way as to pro mote the best interests of the Commonwealth. Twelve Thousand Victims! It is stated officially by a Whig correspondent of the North .American ; that Mr. CoHamer, the Post Master General, has removed 1:1:7" two thousand eight hundred and seventy four democratic postmasters,and established 808 new post offices, and discontinued some 1,000 which were held by Democrats. This is an aggregate appointment of 3,682 Whigs in the short space of eight months! The New York Herald's correspondent swells the list of proscribed under this "Washingtonian era" to TWELVE THOUSAND. He writes: The proscriptions of the cabinet are certainly without a parallel in the history of .the government. The number of postmasters turned out amounts to about 3,000; to which may be added a thousand clerks, equal to tour thousand expulsions in one de partment in nine months. There are, perhaps, some fifteen thousand -postmasters yet untouched; but every office that pays is already appropriated— those that remain average from $2O to 5150 a year. In the Home Department, large and small, deputies included, there have been probably not less than four thousand changes made. In the Treasury De partment there have been,' including clerks, light. house keepers, some three thousand more; and showing only atliousand for Mr. Clayton, Mr. Craw ford, and Mr. Preston, we have, in nine months, a list of proscriptions for the cabinet, amounting to twelve thousand. The exact number of Mr. Cone mer's removals of postmasters is 2,874, according to the books. Now, when the Senate comes to act on all this immense pile of executions, you may depend upon it the cabinet will be required to give the reasons, and hosts of their appointments will be rejected. Indeed, I venture to predict that Ewing and his department will be discontinued as a use less incumbranee upon the treasury. Candidates for State Treasurer. The following named gentlemen have been rec ommended by different Democratic papers, as can clidates for the office of StatA. Treasurer: Richard faux, Esq., of Philadelphia; Col. John Snodgrass, of Westmoreland, Jacob Weidle, Esq., of Lebanon; Col. George MFeely, of Cumberland; William D. Boas, Esq., of Dauphin; Daniel Weyand, of SOmerset; Col. Asa Packer, of Carbon; William Hackett, Esq., of Northampton; Jacob Dillinger, Esq., of Lehigh; CoL Asa Dimock, of Susquehanna; Hon. Jesse Miller, of Dauphin; Hon. James Black, of Perry; Hon. Arnold Plumer, of Venango; Jas. L. Gillis, Esq., of Elk; and James McManus, Esq. of Centre County. They are all good men and unexceptionable Democrats, and are well qualified to discharge the duties of the office. "Head Him or Die." Hon. John M. Botts, of Virginia, who, it will be recollected had so much trouble in trying to head President Tyler, has recently. written a letter, in which he bears heavily upon the Whigs of the Richmond - district, and expresses his determination to overthrow them, or commit political suicide in tkattempt. He says that Gen. Taylor's election has done nothing but give the offices to certain "influential families" among the Whigs. “A Close Shave!” It appears from the footing up of the returns in New York, that the average vote on the entire Democratic ticket, is 202,266 ; and that on the entire Whig ticket, 202,028—thus giving the Dem ocrats a majority of 23S I Considering the dis tracted state of the Democratic party during the late contest, this may be considered a great triumph. It is a most thorough condemnation of the present National Administration. Gen. Taylor and his 100 Working Slaves. Gen. Taylor, in a letter to Dr. Pannill, of Vir ginia, before the Presidential election, speaking of the Wilmot Proviso, after referring to a letter writ ten by him, to a gentleman of Alabama, on that subject, says, " if after this, and the many other public evidences of my HOSTILITY TO THAT 31EASTME, to say nothing of my extreme Southern location, and of the fact that I own some omr /1171TEHED worntrna sts.vr.s, there are those who will yet persist in saying that / would favor it, then I must despair of setting them right, and leave them to 'flair consciences and their God." The . Washington Union. I This powerful Democratic organ, edited by the accomplished flirt-an and the indefa.tigable Buaxx, seems to be a peculiar object of maleiolence on the part of the Whig pies& This is not difficult to be accounted for, as the uncommon vigor and ability with which it is conducted, constitute a just ground of offence in the eyes of its enemies. It deals so many hard blows upon the Regency at Washington, and Federalism in general, that they fear and dread its power with the American'people--hence their bitter hate, and the foul-mouthed scurrility and abuse with which'they bespatter the Editors, in the vain hope of destroying their influence. But the Union occasionally gives these Whig papers a broadside from its well furnished battery which knocks them into a three.cocked hat—and for the benefit of our readers we make the follow- ing extract, to show how easily the editors of two of their leading journals are disposed of:— But what have we done to incur such an amount or scummy and billingsgate as the New York Courier and Enquirer has of late poured upon our devoted heads? (Its principal editor, has, we un derstand, returned to his post.) We did not com mence our course as democrats, and then turn renegades to our political irrlit and party. We never sold ourselves, soul and body, to the States Bank for $52,000. We have never been publicly cpwhided on the exchange for attempting to violate the sanctity of other people's homes.— We have never been relieved from the dishonor of imprisonment by an executive pardon. We have never danced in attendance upon an ExecUtive whose eleCtion we opposed, and whom we traduced, in the hope of getting a high military, appointment which we did not deserve, and to the exclusion of better men than ourselves, We never applied to another Executive, whom we did assist in electing, for a foreign mission, which was refused under cir cumstances both disgraceful and mortifying to us. Nor did we ever give our unscrupulous support to the same Executive who had thus treated us, for any motive honorable or dishonorable, disinterested or mercenary. Such disgraces and infamies do not attach to our names. Then why does the New York Courier and Enquirer assail us with such persevering and malignant scurrility, abuse, and falsehood? Nor can we see why we should have incurred such bitter hostility, and such shameless and base ! misrepresentation, from the Philadelphia North American. What have we done to induce the conductors of that paper to descend to the gutters for ammunition—to borrow the vocabulary of the fish-market, in order to obtain weapons and epithets with which to assail us? We do not pretend to be indifferent poets. We have never indited paltry rhymes to be laughed at. We have not written I stupid plays to be produced upon the stage, only to be hissed off again. We owe no debts nor obli gations of any kind to the Secretary of State. We never borrowed of him $30,000, nor ever gave our note or mortgage to him for any sum. He never gave us $30,000. He has not given or loaned to us the first red cent. -We are under no obligation to perform menial services for him. We are not bound for value received to assail, in bilingsgate phrase, everybody"to whom be points his finger. We are under no obligation to heap abuse, scur rility, and calumny, upon anybody at his command. Then, why does the North American abuse us? Why does it coin libels upon us, which its conduc tors know to be false ? What secret reasons are there which impel them thus to demean and dis grace themselves? Do they imagine, because they call the Union scurrilous and abusive, that even their own readers will believe it? 1f the articles in the Union are so coarse, vulgar, and scandalous as they represent, why do they not republish them, and let their readers see and judge for themselves of their true character? If there was a particle of truth in the statements of our defamers, such would be their course; and the republication of our articles would be the most effectual way to expose and put us down. But our unprincipled defamers dare not take that course. They prefer a resort to scurrility, vituperation, and falsehood, to the most obvious and efficient method of destreying the in. fluence of the Union, if it were what they falsely represent it to be." Sound and flonest Views. The Berks County Press, one of the ablest and soundest Democratic journals in the State, corn nients at length upon a correspondence between Gen. Cameron and Judge Shaler, which is now going the rounds of the federal journals. We have only room at present for the conclusion of the Press article. The Editor says: The great interest of the country is the Agricultural interest—it em braces numerically four-fifths of the population. How would their interest be benefited if the present duty of 30 per cent. on iron should be increased to 50 per cent. would the price of wheat increase in proportion? If coal were $lO per ton, would a barrel of flour bring one cent more than the present quotation? We are sure it would not be affected one atom, because we can show that the highest Tariffs left the Farmer more at the mercy of home prices, because all foreign trade was in a great degree prohibited, and no truth in political economy is more certain than that our exports must depend upon the amount of our imports. One regulates the other. Why tax the Farmer then for the ben efit of the Manufacturer ? They are wil ling to be taxed for the support of the government, but not one cent beyond for any other class of people.— The views of the two letters are behind the times. This is the age of reform and 'improvement, and not of ancient privileges and immunities. It asks that the equality of law should be considered ; and not their special and partial bearing in favor of the few against the many. In this view, however Democratic may have been the idea of "protection" as asked for by these gentlemen, it is not developed to them that the film of monopoly has at length fallen from the eyes of the people, and that they behold with a pure light, the greater beauties of the glorious principles of freedom, as applied through every fibre of our existence. Freedom of con science, of opinion, as well as of unrestricted com merce, freedom to sell dearest and buy cheapest wheresoever thereunto prompted throughout the habitable globe. Hon. James X. M'Lanahan. This gentleman, the talented Representative to Congress from the Franklin district, is strongly urged by the Perry County Democrat, for Speaker of the House of Representatives. Mr. M'L. has legislative experience, which, added to his acknowledged talents and eloquence peculi arly fit him for the distinguished post, and we should be pleased to hear of his elevation to the Chair. Gratifying Result. The tolls on the State works, received at the State Treasury up to Nov. 1, amount to $1,388,446 62 Last year, to November 1, 1,321,032 50 Excess in favor of 1849, $67,414 12 The fiscal year, in this State, closes on the Ist of November ID Col. 'Weller, who has been superseded by Col. Fremont as Mexican boundary commissioner, will stand a good chance to be 11. S. Senator from California. It is reported that the party engaged with him in running the line would resign if he were superseded. This would greatly increase the expense o the commission, and all to gratify the spite of Gen. Taylor against a brave democratic officer in the Mexican war.—Boston 113031. JAMES WATSON WEBB, of the New York Courier ¢ Enquirer, is appointed Minister to Austria. What an appointment to be made by the •'second" Washington! But, nothing that is done by the Regency can any longer surprise us. PATENT Come STALL. COTTER.—We invite attention to this useful invention, now being exhib ited at Kauffman's Hotel, in North Queen St. The machine is said to possess decided advantages, on account of its simplicity and durability, and is warmly recommended by those who have tested it. The Patentee, Mr, E. Potts, will take pleasure in explaining its properties to those who may favor him with a call. Inr' The Whig majority in Boston this year is one thousand less than it was last year. Good! The Whig vote fell off 1,641, the Free Soil 1,330, and the Democratic increased 647! New Banks. We find in the Harrisburg papers the following list of applications for new Banks, and recharter of old ones, that is intended to be made at the app proaching session of the Pennsylvania Legislature: Kensington Bank, Philadelphia, (addi tional capital) $250,000 Carlisle Deposite Bank, Carlisle, Pa., , • Farmers' and Mechanics' Bank, Easton, '300,000' Miners'Bank, Pottsville, (additional cap'l,) 200,000 Anthracite Bank, Tamaqua, 500,000 Mechanics' Bank, Pittsburgh, 200,000 Bank of Pottstown, 200,000 City Bank, Philadelphia, 500,000 . Dauphin Bank, Harrisburg, 200,000 Farmers' & Mechanics' Bank, Allentown, 150,000 Exchange Bank, Pittsburg, (renewal) Southwark Bank, Phila., (additional cap.) 150,000 Canal Bank, Erie, 300,000 Wellsboro' Bank, Wellsboro', 150,000 Central'Bank, Harrisburg, , 500,000 Bank of Spring Garden, Philadelphia, 300,001 .West Branch Bank, Williamsport, (renwl) ,Lebanon Bank, Lebanon, Pa., (renewal,) Spring Garden Bank, Philadelphia, . 250,000 Blair County Bank, 200,000 Farmers' Deposit Bank, Pittsburg, Harrisburg Bank, Harrisburg, (renewal,) Schuylkill Bank, Philadelphia, do: Making in all an increase to the present Banking Capital of the State of $4,350,000, of which our own e i r j, - „ults for $1,450,000. Surely there is no necessity for this enormous increase—there is now sufficient capital, if not loafrg to speculators, for all the legitimate operations of trade. We trust our Legislators will exercise unusual vigilance it. scrutinizing the claims upon which these applica tions are founded, and when the need of increased capital is not clearly established refuse to irant the asked for charters. The present system of Banking in this State is unsafe, and needs a radical change. There is now no security against corrup tion and rascality when dishonest men creep into the direction and management of our moneyed in stitutions. The public have no protection against loss from the explosion of fraudulent corporations Nye hope to see the coming Legislature take up the matter with the determination to provide a remedy tor this evil, either by making Stockholders personally liable for the debts of the Institutions, or by basing the issue of Bank Notes on the security of State or Government Stocks pledged with the State Treasurer at a rate much below their market value—but the best remedy will be a deaf ear to all applications.—Bicknell's Reporter. The Democratic Review. This long established Magazine continues its wonted course with unabated zeal and energy. It is published in New York, and is edited by Tuom.ts P. KETTELL, a bold and vigorous, writer. The November number is now on our table, and has the following contents: 1. Capital and Labor. 2. Baptiste Redivivus. 3. Translations from Horace. 4. The Mosquito King and the British Queen. 5. A Madrigal. From the French of Francis I. (3. Flogging in the Navy. 7. Educational Facilities. 8. Earning a Living—al Comedy in Five Acts. 9. Malherbe. 10. Popular Portraits with Pen and Pencil—Gov A. G. BROWN, of Mississippi. 11. Financial and Commercial Review. 12. Political Miscellany. 13. Notices of New Books. The subscription price of the Review is only $3 per annum, a sum so small as to constitute it the cheapest periodical, taking size and quality into account, in the United States. Every Democrat, who is able to afford the expense, should take a copy of it. 13" The Democrats of New Orleans are making the most extensive arrangements to receive the Hon. JAMES BUCHANAN with eclat, on his contem plated visit to that city. A correspondent of the N. O. Courier holds the following language in re gard to Mr. B. and his intended visit: No man is more worthy the gratitude and esteem of the Democracy than James Buchanan. He brought the State Department back to its original purity, to the days of Jefferson and Madison—con ducted the affairs of government to the satisfaction of every American—labored, zealously labored for the good of his country—and, Democrats can proud ly proclaim it, he never permitted himself to fall into C/aytoitish errors and quarrels merely about the "style" of a document, instead of the principles which it advanced. But he should be doubly dear to every Democrat, as having done all which it has yet been in his power to do, to advance and diffuse the benign influences of Democracy. IMPORTANT FROM THE FRONTIER.—We learn (says the Jacksonville Florida News,) from good authority, that Sam Jones, Chief of the Miccasu k les, has sent word to General Twiggs that he is aware that upwards of 20 of his men were engaged in the murder at Peas Creek and Indian River, and that the whites are very much mistaken if they suppose that he will deliver them up to be hat,ged, or will consent to leave the country. If this is the case, hostilities can no longer be delayed, and every day of postponement will place the Indians in a better position. Heavy Robbery. On Saturday morning about 9 o'clock, a daring robbery was perpretated at the office of the agency of the State Bank at Camden, N. J., No 12 Church Alley. The office was entered by means of false keys, during the temporary absence of the agent, and robbed of five thousand two hundred and eigh teen dollars, in notes, principally of the Camden Bank, large and small, denominations. Three or four five hundred dolliir notes were among the number. The office is in the second story room of the building, and the robber or robbers, opened the front door below, at the foot of the stairway, and also the door opening into the office room. The money was taken out of an iron chest in the office, and had been , deposited there a short time previous by the agent who was temporarily absent, making his exchanges with the banks in this city. He was away but a short period. The Bank offers a reward of $l5OO for the arrest of the thief and the recovery of the money. SAN FRANCISCO.—A letter from San Francisco, dated Oct. Ist says: "San Francisco is a city building up faster by ten times than any ever before known in any part of the world. Houses, brought in all directions ready made, rise up as it by magic. Lots costing $2O sell for $25,000 to $30,000. A house costing in the States $5OO, sells here for $2,000; expense of putting up about $5OO more, and it rents the moment it is ready for $3OO per month. 11:7 - JAmas M. POWER, Esq., at present one of the Canal Commissioners of this State, has received from the President the appointment of Charge d'AfFairs to Naples, in place of the Hon. Thomas W. Chinn, resigned. His term as Canal Commis sioner, we believe does not expire until January next. ii We learn from the Philadelphia Bulletin that the total amount of California Gold received at Philadelphia up to the present time is about $3,100, 00, and that the whole amount now at the Mint will be coined in about three weeks. A Cunfous Cass.—The New York Herald con tains a eport of an alleged conspiracy case, in which the wife of a French gentleman is accused of joining with other persons in bringing a charge of cruel treatment against him, to get possession of $lO,OOO in gold that he had in the house. While the hus band was under arrest the gold and the wife dis appeared, and have not since been heard of, except that they were both supposed to be in Philadelphia. We learn since that the woman was yesterday ar rested, and taken to New York--Phila. Ladier. Irr The Indianopolis State Journal announces the Severe illness of the Hon. WILLIAM J. Baowsr, Democrat, from that State, and says that he may not be able to be present at the organization of the House of Representatives, on the 3d of December. ID - Thanksgiving on Thursday neat. The Rambler.—No. M. it is a generally received and well settled fact. that the national prosperity, the wealth and power of a people mainly depend upon their productive industry. The same may be asserted of their moral and physical well being. We need only revert to England to find a prominent example of national prosperity and public wealth, from the early and unexampled impetus and encouragement given to her domestic industry. While to establish the effects of an opposite policy, we may refer to Mex ico, which, although rich in soil, rich in mineral wealth, and highly favored by climate, but deficient in national industry, presents an example of national poverty, imbecility and wretchedness. The pro ductive industry of a people is not confined to agriculture, but embraces mechanit employments, and the several departments of manufactures.— National prosperity, therefore, depends upon the concurrent prosecution of all these several branch's of domestic industry, and the prosperity of one in a measure, accelerates the prosperity of the other. In a word, there is an evident connexion between them all, and a mutual dependance of one upon the other. It would be inconsistent with the nature of things, and, hence impossible, for agricultural indus try to be very profitable, without the concurrent aid afforded by the pursuits of the mechanic, and the steady demand and regular markets for its produce, necessarily furnished by a flourishing con dition of the several departments of manufacturing industry.. A controversy upon this point would argue a culpable ignorance on the part of any well wisher of his country. We conceive, therefore that these are liberal grounds upon which all parties: professing whatever creed they may, can cordially unite. The above will be readily recognized as the posi tion of the advocates of high protective duties.— Now, while we thus cordially agree with them in this, we as earnestly repudiate the conclusion which they assert to be its consequent. That, because there is this connexion and dependence existing between the departments ot domestic industry, domestic manufactures should therefore have high protective duties for their protection, we most emphatically deny. Observe' the fallacy: High protective duties operate directly to the advantage of the manufacturer, in affording him large_profits, while it operates rollaterally,upon the other depart ments of industry, only affording them employment and a home market for their produce, but increases every other article of consumption. This is a subversion of the original position, in favoring one branch to the detriment ot the others; in playing directly into the hands of the manufacturer, whilst it compels the others to pay, and extravagantly too, for the prosperity they may thus indirectly enjoy. Plainly, the manufacturer receives the benefit directly from high protective duties, without cost, and the farmer, mechanic, and laborer, severall34 pay for the prosperity that perchance is vouch safed to them. ' For the further elucidation of these views, and in order to substantiate them, we will resort to a few calculations. The quantity of land in Lanca . ster county is stated to be 620,176 acres ; and the number of persons engaged in agriculture in 1840 was 10,285. Suppose the average size of farms to be 150 acres—we will have 4,134 farms, and, 6,151 laborers on farms. The value of land and stock in the county is aboiit $48,568,819, which being divided by 4,134, the number of farms, would give an average capital of $11,718 to each. The value of produce may be estimated at $6,000,000, one third off for cost and we will have $4,000,000 entire income, or an average income of $907 to each farmer, being 81 per cent. on his capital. The laborer is paid for his day's work 73 cts.—working 300 days in the year, his income would be $225 his sinews being his capital. The number of Furnaces in Lancaster county in 1840 were 11; amount of capital invested $l2O, 500—giving each Furnace an average capital of $38,227. These Furnaces in full blast could easily produce 13,200 tons per annum, or 1,200 tons each. The total cost of each ton, reckoning interest, wear .and tear, if the furnace be properly located and judiciously conducted, need not exceed s2o—cost of transportation to market s2—making $22 per ton. The average market value of iron for a series of years under the operation of protective. duties, will exceed $27 per ton ; it has been as high as $6O —and as low as $173-. We have then $5 per ton actual profit. Now, as English iron, under ordinary circumstances wilt command in the English mar ,ket $l7 per ton, it could not be afforded here free of duty under $22 per ton, paying costs of exporta tion, wharfage, commission, &c. The $5 profit per ton is mostly occasioned by a protective duty upon iron, and constitutes the direct benefit derived by the iron master from the protective system. This amounts on 1200 tons to $6OOO, on a capital of $38,227, or nearly 16 per cent. upon Ms capital. The farmer as above receives only 8-} per cent. for his investment. It is said, however, that the farmer 'would not be able to obtain even this per cent. if the manufacturer is not protected from foreign competition. This may be true, but it is our intention to show how he pays for this protection of manufacturers, and the indirect prosperity thereby resulting to him.

It appears, however, from the few articles stated, that out of an expenditure of $00,50, the consumer pays for protection ,under the differeht tariffs consecutively, $7,60, $23,30,524,10, $27,00, $20,00; and if the farmer should consume $5O worth of iron, under the tariff of 1842, he would have to pay about $lB, 00—and under 1846, sls—to the government for the benefit of the iron master directly, and for a "home market" for his produce. The poor man receiving only $225 per year, pays to the government under the tariff of '42, $27, 00—under the tariff of '46, $20,00. Now in com mon reason, is not this a heavy burthen for him ? It may be said that the iron, master pays much !more, as he would naturally consume more of the expensive articles. Well, suppose we grant it, does he not have the additional enjoyment of the increased share of the luxuries of life, and is he not able also to pay a much larger amount out of his $6,000 income? But, we do not care how much the wealthy may have to pay the government ; our idea is to throw the burthen off of those who are not able to bear it direct tax of one dollar upon every man in the United States, and -.a two mill tax upon the 'aggregate wealth of the Union would yield as much revenue as the Tariff' of 1846. Under a direct tax, therefore, the poor man would be compelled to pay Osta Dm - An—under the indirect tax, or tariff ca 1846, he is compelled to pay TWENTY DOLLARS for a portion only of the articles he consumes. "Honor to whom Honor is due." Mr. Enrron :—ln looking over your paper of November 20th, I met with an article addressed to " Young Women," and accredited, to a gentleman named Mathew Carey., After glancing at it a moment, I turned to a small volume entitled " The Young Lady's Friend," Isy Mrs. John Farrar, author of Life of Lafayette, &c., and on page 286 I read, " Some one has (not hath) said, that matri' mony is with women the great business of life' whereas with man it is only an incident; an portant one, to be, sure, but only one among many, to which their attention is directed, &c. Thus I read on, and find the article of Mr. Carey verbatim in the work of Mrs. Farrar. True, in the work o f the lady there are found a few more words in a few of the sentences than in the gentleman's article, but the want of these few words does not appear to be a very great evidence of his superior taste.--; However, both the works entitled the "Young Lady's Friend,' and the article addressed To Young Women," are good productions ; the only perplexing thing attending them is, with me, how came, not only their ideas, but also their words to be so nearly identical? I should just like to know which of the twain wrote first. The edition of Mrs. Farrar's work, which I use, is dated 1838. Did llr. Carey write previous to that period? If he did not, and also did not see Mrs. Farrar's work, previous to his writing, 1 shdhld wish this remark able coincidence of thought and expression to be recorded as one of the wonderful things of the age. Most respectfully, yours, &c., Nawvrtmr.,.November 23, 1849. We are unable to relieve our respected corres pondent's mind of the difficulty.—Ed. For the Intelltcenrer. Canal Commissioner. MR. EDlTOR:—Permit an old subscriber to you'r valuable paper to state, that notwithstanding a great many good and true democrats have been already named, to fill the imuortant office of Canal Commissioner, to succed Mr. Longstreth, there ate still "a few more of the same sort left," and none more deserving of the distinguished post, than that sterling and ever to be relied upon democrat, HENRY IMHOFF, of Petersburg. Mr. Imhoff is so well known to the Democracy of this County and State, and the people generally, that any further recommendation of his merits may be justly deemed superfluous, in consequence of which nothing more can be added to his character than that he is ca pable and deserving.

THE tEor.ras MlNsTßELs.—These charming singers delighted large audiences at the Mechanics' Institute, on Friday and Saturday evenings, with their performance. Some of their pieces are un equalled by any thing we have ever listened to, and elicited the warmest commendation from all who were present. This was peculiarly the case with "The Mariner," "Mary of the Wild Moor," "When a little Farm we keep," &c. &c. It•was well worth the price of admission to hear little Miss E. M. SMITH sing, to say nothing of the rich musical talent displayed by the whole Company. LECTURES ON PHYSIOLOGY AND ANATOMY:A series of lectures will be delivered at the Mechanics' Institute, in this City, to commence tomorrow even ing, by Dr. C. W. GLEASON, a graduate of the Uni versity of Pennsylvania. The Dr. has a very high reputation for learning, and his lectures are pro nounced by competent judges to be exceedingly interesting and instructive. He brings with him from some of the neighboring cities and towns, the highest testimonials as to character and scientific acquirements. He exhibits and explains the laws of the human system, shows its wonderful mechan ism, and demonstrates, that by conforming to these laws health and enjoyment are ensured, whilst a departure from them brings suffering and wretch: edness. We bespeak for him a kind reception and liberal patronage at the hand of our citizens. llT'Last - Wednesday night we were again de- lighted with the sweet songs and melodious voices of the members of Mr. D. Kemmerer's Juvenile Singing School. It was a rich treat, indeed, to hear so many youthful choristers thrilling their joyous notes. We were also pleased with the manner in which the children behaved. Mr. K. must possess the happy faculty of gaining the affections of the young, or it would be impossible for him to have them under such complete control. He certainly deserves the thanks of the community, which they intend to tender him. He has our best wishes for his future success in his vocation. Err Quite an improvement has been made in the Post Office in this city. The boxes have been transferred from the window to the side of the room—a large number of new ones have been added, and the arrangement is such as cannot fail to add to the convenience of all—especially the business portion of the community—whose inter. course with the office is so frequent. Our worthy and obliging P. M. deserves great credit for this effort to please the public and keep pace with the spirit of improvement that is abroad in our city. MELANCHOLY AccrnaxT.—We learn that on Thursday evening last, a horse attached to a cart took fright in the eastern part of the city, and run away. The driver, a young man aged about 22 years, named .I . A.coa Gninus, was thrown under the wheels, and so much injured that he died soon afterwards.—Farmer. "Mcstc RATH CHARMS, &c. - -The lovers of Music would do well to give SPANOLER & Brio. a call. They have a large selection of Songs, Glees, Polkas, 4.c., for the Piano and Guitar, as well as Sacred Music, which they will be happy, obliging as they are, to show their friends at any time. "The Psalter;' and "Artisan's Glee," have been kindly presented us. The former contains a number of choice hymns suitable for choir singing, composed by J. C. BECg.F.L. The latter is a lively and spirited melody for three voices, with an accompaniment for the Piano Forte by the same author.

To the Honorable the Judges of the Xourt of Quarter Sessions of the Peace § - c., of the • County of Lancaster: The Grand Jury enquiring for the body of the County aforesaid, report: That, after passing upon all the Bills submitted to them, they prodeeded to visit the Poor and House of Employment, the Hospital, the new Prison now being erected, and the old Prison ; That the Poor and House of Employment is in tolerable good order; That Mr. Taylor, the, present officer of the last mentioned institu tion, is worthy of special praise; That the New Prison, when finished, they believe, will reflect great credit on the County of Lancas ter; That the old Prison is in as good condi tion as can be expected of a building so unsuited to the purposes to v. hich it has been applied. They cannot close this report without adverting to another matter, namely, that of a new Court House, which shall be erected, by the Commiassioners of said County, as soon as they deem it expedient; on another location and sufficiently capacious and convenient for the administration of Justice; for they believe that the old Court House is not in a proper location, nor sufficiently capacious and con venient for the purposes of administering Justice.

Attest, D. M. MARTIN, Clerk Q. S Latest Foreign Nesys. Russrs eau HUNGARY.—Fund Effendi has been informed by Count Nesselrode that the Czar de mands that the Hungarian refugees shall be located in the interior of Candia, or on such other point of the Turkish territory as may afford the greatest facilities for keeping them under surveillance., If any of the refugees wish to go to France or England, they are permitted so to do. The Czar will take no notice of their departure, notwith standing the danger that may attend them, whether in France or England. There can be a no doubt that the refugees will busy themselves in preparing for a new revolution. The decisive attitude assurh ed by England an the Turkish question has annoyed the Emperor very much. He has caused Count Nesselrode to address an energetic note to the English government on the subject. In this note, the Emperor protests against this hostile demonstration in the midst of peace, and against the right which England arrogates to herself to interfere in a matter which: regards only Russia and the Sublime Porte. As to the difficul ties which this affair may give rise to, the inter pretation of the treaty between those two powers belongs (says the note) to them alone, and Eng land ought to remain completely unconnected with it.
