A VEsssx-Bsows trz -wire Pownsa.—On. the
tof April,-the; pirrotia. sailed .from London- for
.rt Philip, Austnillti;and.on the 13th of June it
as discovered on fire, within a few days' sail of
.rt, the paisengers then, for the first time, being
Wised that there were 400 barrels' of powder in
uded in her,iarge and valuable cargo. The ac
mint describes t4O tragedy thus:
'lt was 'Edna ten o'clock at night, and the terror
id alarm that instantly followed among the crew
ho were cognizant of the 'magazine' beneath them
as of a character not easily to be described. The
4ptain and the passengers had, two or three days
reviouely, noticed a rattling noise underneath the
:bin flooring, as if some of the cargo had got adrift
nd rolled about every time the vessel lurched over,
d amid this rattling noise on the evening in ques
on, the passengers discovered smoke issuing
trough the cabin flooring.
'lt appears that they were ignorant of the exist
ce of the magazine till they heard sense one ex
aim, 'My God! the powder! All hands instant
turned to launch the long boat, but finding this
safe,. having by some means been stove, one of
e quarter boats was lowered. Not a moment was
be lost. Brief as the interval had been, the fire
rst forth into Ihe cabin, and the flames were is
ing out of the companion. A rush filled the boat,
d in another moment the men were pulling away
om the vessel withevery nerve. Happilytbe boat
ntdined the whole of the people. They had scarcly
ached hall a mile from the burning ship before
e. 400 barrels of powder blew up with terrific
rce. The ship appeared to be lifted bodily out of
le water, and then, with the remaining portion of
.e cargo. shattered to atoms and hurled to an im.
.enso distance. The sea for miles was covered
ith her fragments. Some fell into the boat and
arty swamped it, and some. of the crew were
uch burned by the explosion. The poor crea
res were exposed in the boat without provisions
any description, nor even water, for 56 hours,
hen they were sighted by the bark Talcsina,
.und to Melbourne, which immediately bore down
d took them on board, evidently very much ex
usted.'
Kin Gin yxs Ann Moxxxxs.—lt will probably
;end the tender sensibilities of our fashionable
it one; to tell them that the soft, pliant, and
cely perfumed kid gloves they wear upon their
'licate white hands,—and which come all the
ay from Paris, elegantly done up in lincy boxes
are made of monkey skins. •But the truth must
~ told, however unpalatable. A certain Oliver
ott, (a genuine Yankee, we'll wag er " a pair of
oyes") writes to the Arkansan Independent thut
is in South America hunting monkeys. He kills
out 3000. , u year, and sells the skins at Bumona.
ey are bought by Frenchmen, and tanned for the
anufacturing of kid gloves, those articles being
w made; it is said,. wholly of monkey skins. He
is from 20 to 90 cehts•for each skin.
Only think of if! That those ridiculous, vulgar,
d'ilasty animals, the monkeys, should furnish any
, riion of the costume of our lovely and bewitch
g belles! From the ;earliest dawn of the days of
ivalry, to our own," the glove of lady fair " has
en held in high esteem as a gage d' amour. No
arm, or more undoubted token of feminine favor
be by,sfowed upon an ardent wooer, than the
rveWawn, warm and pulpy, from the trembling
tielie longs to call his own. But, will any ro
ntic yOuth be courageous enough, or blind
ough, after reading the account of Mr. Oliver
oat's sporting adventures, to smother with his.,
ses, and wear next his heart, a piece of monkey's '
TILE OPTOMANS .-A late traveller in Turkey thus
scribes some of the peculiaritiris in the manners
d customs of the Turks:
'They-abhor the hat; but uncovering the head—
• iich with us is an expression of respect—is con
ered by them disrespectful and indecent. No of
ice is given by keeping on a hat in mosque, but
:es must be left at the threshold. The slipper and
t the turban is removed as a token of respect.—
le Turks turn in their toes. They write from
ht to left: They mount on the right side of the
.rse. They follow their guests into a room, and
ecede them on leaving it. The.left hand is the
ce of honor. They do the honors of the table
serving - themselves first. They are great smo
rs and coffee drinkers. They take the wall, and
ilk-hastily in token of respect. They beckoniby
rowing back the hand instead of throwing it to
rd them. They cat the hair from the head.—
el remove it from the body, but leave it on the
in. They sleep in their clothes. They look upon
leading as a more disgraceful punishmeht than
ngling. They deem our short and close dress
indecent, our shaven chins a mark of ellemina
and servitude. They resent an inquiry after their
ves as an insult. They commence their wood
houses at the top, and the upper apartments are
neatly finished before the lower ones are closed
They eschew pork as an abomination.• They
gird dancing as a theatrical performance, only
be looked at and not mingled in, except by
ves.
listly,.the r in mourning habit is white; their sacred
or green; their Sabbath day is Friday; and inter
nt follows immediately on death.'

The •Globe.—The official paper of Congr es
-IL and newspaper for the people.—lt will be see'
by the annexed extract from a letter of General
Washington to David Stewart, dated. at New York
17th March, 1790, that the idea of such a paper as
I propose to 'make the Globe, originated in the
mind of the father of his country. He said :
"It is to be lamented that the editors of the
ferent Gazettes in the Union do not more generally
and more correctly (instead of stuffing their papers
with scurrility and nonsensical declamation which
few would read if they were apprised of their con
tents) publish the debates in Congress on all great
national questions. The principles upon which
the difference, of opinion arises, as well as the de
cisions, would then come hilly before the public,
and afford the best data for its judgment." Sparks'
Writings of Washington, vol. 10, p.-84..
In surrendering my interest in the organ of a
great political party, I cherished the purpose of
continuing the Congressional Globe, and, if possi
ble in time, to derfect it into a full history of the
action of Congress, giving the debates accuratel
and fully with the proceedinge—all stamped wi
the variety of an official record. From the passe
of the letter of General Washington, which I hay
quoted, it will be perceived that he thought thi
office might be combined with that of a regular
newspaper; and it is certain that the avidity of the
public for news of the less important kind greatly
contributes to give wings to the weightier matter
which may be called Congressional news. "
Having succeeded in my purpose of perfecting
die reports of the debates in Congress and giving
them the official stamp, I now propose to send
them abroad, in connection with the news of the
day,"in finch hate as shall outstrip full and accu
rate intelligence sent from the seat of government
in any other form whatever. It will even antici
pate the scraps of news forwarded to cities within
two hundred and fifty miles of Washington by tel
egraph. Before the events thus transmitted are
published in the morning papers, (for instance, of
the city of New York,)the Globe containing them
will have reached the poet office of that city by the
Express Mail of the previous night. The process
by which this will effected I now lay before the
public.
I will have a corps of sixteen Reporters in Con
gress; each in succession will take notes during
five minutes, and then retire, prepare them for the
Press, put them slip by slip in the bands of com
positors, and thus while a debate is going on in
Congress, it will be put in type, and in a few min
utes
after it is ended it will be in print. I shall by
this means be enabled to send by the Express mail
of 5 o'clock p. m. for the East, West and Nortk
and by that of 9 o'clock p. m. for the South,all the
proceedings of Congress up to the ordinary hour of '
adjournment. Thus the accurate debates of Con
gress will reach the city, two hundred and fifty
miles from the capital, before their daily morning
papers are in circulation.
The miscellaneos news I shall be careful to
gather from remote sections of country by tel
egraph. ' I will obtain from the Executive Depart.
ments, through official sources; the matters of mo,.
ment transacted in them, and, through agents em
ployed for that purpose, all the city news of con
sequonce insufficient time-to be put into the Globe
and mailed in the express mail trains. In this way
I hope to create a new era in the disseMination of
news from Washington before the public mind at a
distance had received its first impressions from ir
responsible telegraphic despatches; or by letter wri r
tern biased by peculir views.
Washington has now become so great a centre of
political interest during all the year—the proceed
ings of the Executive Departments, and the infor
mation collected by them, even during the recess
of Cengress, is of so much importance to the inter
est of every section of the country--that I shall
continue the publicalion of the daily paper perma
nently, with a view to become the vehicle of the
earliest and most correct intelligence.
It is part of my plan to reduce the price of the li
daily paper to half that of similar daily papers; and
thus I hope to extend its circulation so as to invite
advertisements. I will publish advertisements of
the government. To subscribers in thc cities I
hope tb submit such terms as will induce them to
advertise their business in every village through
out the Union, where the Globe is sent daily under
the franks of members of Congress, all of whom
take it and some of them a large number ofcopies.
The installation of a new administration apd a
new Congress portends much change in the course
of public affaireas the result of the next session.—
Many vast interests which were brought up in the
last Congress were laid over by the democratic
majority to await the action of a democratic exec
utive . The new modelling of the tariff; the new
land system; the question of giving homesteads
and making every man a freeholder who may
choose to become one; the approximation of the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans by a national railroad
across the terrritory of the Union; reform in the
Army, Navy, and civil offices— all these great
questions, with a thousand minor ones, deeply af
fecting multitudes of men and every State in the
Union, will, now being matured by public opinion
come up for the government's decision. These
new issues, co-operating with old ones, coping up
to be disposed of by new actors on the scenes at
Washington, will be apt to modify greatly if not
alter essentially, the party organizations of the
country.
To these elements of interest another is likely
to be introduced by the interposition of the agita
tions of Europe.
• After nearly forty years of peace
in Europe, there - in an evident restlessness that
now seems franght with tendencies threatening
war; and if war-comes, in all Ilkelihood there will
follow such universal cange that the United States
can scarcely hope io escape its vortex. Indeed,
from late events it is apparent That our Govern
ment is already drawn into European difficulties.
These circumstances are calculated to draw the
public mind towards the next Congress with much
expectation
The Daily Globe will be printed on fine paper,
double royal size, with small type, (brevier and
nonpareil,) at five dollars a year.
The Congressional Globe will also be printed on
a double sheet, in book form, royal qnarto size,
each number containing sixteen pages. The Con
gressional Globe paper will be made up of the
proceedings of Congress and the running debates
as given by the reporters. The speeches which
members may choose to write out themselves will,
together with the message of the President of the
United States, the reports of the Executive Depart
ments, and the laws passed by Congress, be added
in an appendix. Formerly 1 received subscription's
for the Congressional Globe and Appendix sepa
rately. But this has not been found satisfactory,
inasmuch as it gave an incomplete view of the
transactions in Congress; and therefore I have con
cluded not to sell them apart, considering that
neighbors can have the advantage of both by club
bing in case individuals. shall fiud it too onerous to
be at the charge of both.
To facilitate the circulation of the Congressional
Globe, and cheapen it to subscribers Congress pas
sed last year a joint resolution making it freo of
postage. I annex it, as the law may not be acces
sible to postmasters generally :
Joint resolution providing for the distribution of the
Laws of Congress and the debates thereon.
With a view to the cheap circulation of the laws ,
of Congress and the debates contributing to the
true interpretation thereof, and to make free the
communication between the representative and the
constituent bodies:
Be it resolved by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States of America
in Congress assembled, That from -and after the
present session of Congress, the Congressional
Globe and Appendix, which contains the laws and
the debates thereon, shall pass free through the
mails so long as the same shall bb published by or
der of Congress: Provided, that nothing herein
shall be construed to authorize the circulation of
the Daily Globe free of postage.
LlApproved, August 6, 1852.
As I sell the Daily Globe at half the price of
similar publications, so the Congressional Globe
and Appendix is sold for half the cost of so much
composition, press-work and paper. This I can
afford to do, inasmuch as the subscription of Con
gress almost covers the cost of composition, and
this enables me to sell for little more than the cost
of press-work and paper. It requires the sale of
about 9,090 copies to reimburse expenses. If 600
only were sold, the cost of each copy would be
about $lO4 I The debates in the English Parlia
ment cost about eleven times as much as I charge
subscribers for the debates in Congress, equal is
quantity, and as well reported and printed.
The next session of Congress will be.a long one;
and it is believed the Congressicinal Globe, for it,
will reach 4000 royal quarto pages, as the last long
session made 3842; and the long one before that
made 39p1 royal quarto pages—four large volumes
each session. If subscribers will be careful to file
all the numbers received by them, I will supply
any that may miscarry in the mails. This work
increases in value as it grows old. The first sev
enteen volumes will now command three times,
and some of the subsquent ones twice, their-oH
ginal. subscription price.
The subscription price for the Congressional
Globe (including the Appendix and the laws) is
sir dollars.
Complete indexes will be made out and forward
ed to subscribers soon after the session is ended.
Subscribers for the daily shoulkhave their mon-
oy hers by the sth, and for the Congressional
Globe by the 15th of December. The money must
accompany an order for either the Daily or tbli
Congressional Globe. Banks notes current whero)l
a subscriber resides will be received at par.

Dr. J. C. Ayer :—I write to inform you of the
truly remarkable effects of your CherrY \ Pectoral in
this place, and in my'own family. One of my
daughters was completely cured in three \days of a
dreadful Whooping Cough, by taking it. Dr.
Means, one of our very best physicians freely states
that he considers it the best remedy we ‘hatlirfor
pulmonary diseases, and that he has cured more
cases of Croup with it than any other medicine ke
ever administered.
Our clergyman of the Baptist Church says that
during the run of Influenza here this seasons, ho
has seen cures from your medicine he could
scarcely have believed without seeing.
Yours respectfully, J. D. SINCLAIR,
Deputy Postmaster,
From the distinguished Professor of Chemistry
and Materia Medica, Bowdoin College. I have
found the Cherry Pectoral, as its ingredients show,
a powerful remedy for colds, and coughs, and pul
monary diseases.
PARKER CLEVELAND, M. D.
BRUNSWICK, Me., Feb: 6, 1847.

Professor of Surgery in the Medical College, New
York City, says :-- ,4 1t gives me pleasure to cer
tify the value and efficacy of AyreN Cherry Pec
toral? which I consider peculiarly adapted to cure
diseases of the Throat and Lungs."
Cures of severe diseases upon the Lungs have
been. effected by Cherry Pectoral in such extreme
case as warrant the belief that a remedy has at
length been found that can be depended on to cure
the Coughs, Colds and Consumptions which carry
from our midst thousands every year. It is indeed
a medicine to which the afflicted can look with
confidence for relief, and they should not fail to
avail themselves of it.

rr h e Perfect Grain Drill and
most Valuable Agricultural Implement._
A great improvement in Grain Drills, making this
excellent, Agricultural Implement a perfect Ma
chine, for which letters patent were issued Sep
tember 20th, to Mr. Samuel Jenkins, of York cot
The improvement consists in attachi ng an ad
jnstable curved cutter of steel, to and through the
drag bar and through the point of the tooth or
drill, in front of the tooth, forming a triple edge
at the point, and enabling tho toothta Mee up and
glide over any obstructions, and completely regu
lgting the depth of furrow required, and depositing
the grain to the depth, according to the character
of the soil. The Cutter likewise prevents weeds
or stubble from clogging or choking up the mouth
of the Drill. Heretofore insuperable disadvantages
have attended the use of the Grain Drill, on any
other than a level and even soil ; but by this sim
ple invention the operation of the Machine is mado
complete and perfect, and this valuable Agricultu
ral Implement can now be used on uneven, ston y
or rocky ground, or on new clearing, where th
stumps have not yet been removed, with the same
easy draught and perfect operation, in Seeding ane
Drilling, as on even and clear soil, without jarrind
the Machine in the least, or putting the seeding
devices out of gear.
The model and specifications are now at the In
ventor's Institute, Fulton flail, where J. Franklin
Reigart wiil be pleased to give every information
to persons interested in the matter, desiring to ex
amine the same more particularly, or to purehaso
County or State rights..
Competent persons desirous of securing the
Agency to sell the County and State rights of this
most useful Machine, should apply immediately.
