Public Meeting. Pursuant to notice, n public meeting was ] lt .|,l in Heverly settlement school-house, Over on Suturday evening Dee. Ist 1855, f,.r the i impose of an interchange of senti -I L .nt on the subject of Common Schools, in cmneetion with the County Superintendent, on , IM ,tiou. \\"ni. llottensteiujwas appointed I'resi and Kli Heverly and Owen MeCann, Secretaries. Vt'ter some discussion by Wm. Walt man ~m i James Heverly and others, tle following revolutions were introduced by Wm. Waltman . ~u motion of Josiah Keinbolt, were adopt ",'j | )V a large mojoritv, as expressive of the sollS c of the meeting. llfstlml, That in the opinion of this meet i,„r much of the law "For the regulation sU iii eontinuance of a system of education by < Vminoii Schools" as authorizes the School directors in each County of the Common \Veiilt!i to meet in convention at the seat of Justice in the said Counties, to elect County Superintendent, ought not be repealed, till it 1,0 tried fairly for a term of not less than three years. _ , , . [{rsi Iced, That in ourj opinion, experience lias alreadv demonstrated that such an officer necessary, for a certain number of years to co-operate with the School Directors of the several townships, to explain the law, point out the duties of Directors, examine and re joet deficient and ignorant teachers ; which, in our opinion, has a tendency to facilitate and elevate our Common Schools. [{.•silccil, That as the commonwealth pays our Cmmtv Superintendent a salary to assist u* in the promotion of our Common Schools, we are not so liberal as to reject his help, and „ot so enlightened as to reject the spontaneous iuvtructions conferred by our Commonwealth. Resolved. That, knowing that our Superin tendent lias a very large County to travel thro', ami manv schools and teachers to inspect, < ? ini nmiallv. cannot visit the schools as often a , he would if the distance would admit, Jltsohrd, That we would not by any meaus rnjue.it our Superintendent not to pay us any more visits, but to visit us as often as possible a- we finnlv believe that by his aid we can yet uo something to advance the Common School .rstem. | /(-■: deed. That we most heartily approve of the plan of a " Uuiforin Tax system through out the State'' to raise a school fund, as has been, and is being put in operation by Mr. (O VEU, and we pledge ourselves that we will use onrbest endeavors in conjunction with our p, unity Superintendent to have the same be come a law. Resulted, That we have full confidence in tin? ability, and profound resjiect that our SupcrintcMKloiit has, with regard to his duty. | Res deed. That these resolutions be publish ed in the Bradford Reporter. On motion meeting Adjourned. Signed by the officers. THE AMERICAN MINISTER IN* LONDON. —The subjoined letter was addressed by Mr. IJii ehanan, our Minister in England, to the Times licwsjirijier.detiying the statement which had been put forth by that paper of assurauces .i eii to the Jlritisli Government by the Ameri ca' Minister, when the war first broke out in t;c Mast, of the sympathy and support of our •ioveriuneut and pcojile, and that the I nited States were willing to make the quarrel of Knglawl their own, and ready to aid her with thousands of stout hearts and brawny arms. There were abundant reasons why nobody on tlii- -ide the Atlantic, we presume, gave any. ercilencc to so improbable a statement, which indeed carried contradict ion on its face ; yet "t was proper that the minister should meet sn positive and grave an allegation with the prompt and explicit contradiction which is con tained in the annexed note addressed to the Times, but which it appears that print hud the unfairness to refuse to publish : "The American Minister presents his COUP plimeuts to the editors of tlie Times, and as -ares them that they have been "misinformed" with respect to the expressions and condu t uttributed to him in the leading article of this morning. Always mindful of the neutrality "f his Government, whicli he fully approves, na- with deep rcgre-t that he learned as he lir-t did from Washington, that attempts were itin the United States to recruit soldiers f r the British army ; because lie felt eonli •lvnt that tile-'' attempts would tend to weaken T h" friendly relations between the two coui:- ■ which i: has been his ardent desire, ever ■ •te his arrival in England, to cherish and promote. The American Minister can, of course, f nter into no discussion in the public journals questions Ix'twcen the two Governments, or • ite what is or what is not contained in any' ' 'irespondenee which may have arisen out of ijuostions : but lie has felt it due liotli to tlie Times and himself to make this prompt correction. "<>6 Hariri/ Strrrf, London, AW. 1, 1855." Ov HIS TKACK.—A orrcsponden t of The " fviriul, writing from New-York, tells the following: ' Aa incident transpired here last week that - mmle iiene talk among the parties who jhid knowledge of the matter. A lady ''a the .State of Maine came to this city ' her way to California. She had as arms revolvers ami a bowie-knife. The con 'r purchased her a ticket in the Califor- ! f a steamer and she left in the vessel at noon. 'T story is this: A short time since her '"hand obtained [tosscssion of all her wealth, ' "everted all he could turn into gold, and 'h'serted his family, took a ship and start 'l rir tlie lan,i of gold, round Cape Horn.— '''l this is not the worst; lie took with him ' male not his wife. Injured and maddened, ■*has started after licr recreant lord; ,ro!u love, but from hate ; not to recover '"p-dou of hq- absconding husband, but to "'*4i'luster to him a deserved chastisement; ' lo take him back, but to shoot him and Whipanion. Wind, weather and steam l ' ie la, b' will reach Callifornia jj' at in advance of her absconding mate. „,' v " 110 doubt be rather surprised to meet j' 'J'hip on the California landing; and " ""i-sickncss shakes the wrath out of * >c meeting will not be one of the most "■'"-'d that can be immagined."

When similarly circumstanced, some ladies endeavor to conceal the fact from the public ; but Queens, on the contrary, should let it be apparent, so that there may be no doubt concerning the prospect of an heir to the throne, as lias hapjieued more than once. Modesty should give way in such a case to the interests of the State. Fi.orn ron THE CRlMEA. —Within the past two or three weeks some 20,000 barrels of flour have been purchased !>y a firm in this city for the British government Its destina tion is the Crimea.

As the work was not written to vindicate any particnlar theory, or to advance any particular inte rest, it is difficult to say what it aims at—further than to help while away a leisure hour or two, in what the Au thor hopes, not unprofitable reading. The pages are chicly devoted to descriptions of local scenery ; incidents wlnle Trouting on theSehrader branch; literary criticisms and reminiscences ; conversations, de velopments of local character, poetry and philosophical reflections. As the publication of the hook is not a qnestion of bread, the author can use the liberty of speaking plain. — In the first place, then, lie cannot afford to publish the hook unaided—nor would he if he could ; for the simple reason, lie is unwilling to shoulder the responsibility of committing a—possibly—poor Jook to the world. Me therefore seeks to make a corptffate Concern of it, and thus share with the subscribers the odium of failure, should it fail. It is a purely gratuitous matter, gentle men, sign, or not sign. In the second place, the' author is unwilling to have liis stock of books added to, by too many hundred copies of a work that failed ti> redeem the price if its publication ; neither docs he desire the horror of witnessing the awfuj spectacle of an auUnia-fe.of what cost Him so much pains and time to creitd ;—for lio Cer tainly would eoiniiiit to tbe fiatues wbjf remained unsold of the edition, should they remain too long on his hands. He is determined to pay the publisher on the receipt of the edition, should it bo printed, asking no favors ; and if COO subscribers can be had, he w ill do so. He can afford, however, to wait, should the GOO refuse to come to the rescue. The MS will not diminish in value. It will re main as it has done, cherished by the owner, as was cher ished and loved '-the poor man's one little ewe lamb, that was unto liini as a d.Higher." The author will ask 110 one to undertake to publish it on the strength of its merits: perhaps from pride, perhaps from a prophetic apprehen sion of its lack of merit. Time—perhaps—will determine if lie did well to he influenced by the latter consideration. The author will further say, that should the desired num ber of subscriptions be obtained, he will feel tempted to promise an embellished frontispiece,enclosing a medallion likeness of the principal character, l)r. Plum. And should a socoud edition follow, he—the author—will exert ali'thc influence he can command to secure for the original snb serilicrs a lock of that distinguished individual's hair ; as thank Heaven, he is appreciative, and, judging fromfhis antecedents, the author lias 110 doubt that Plum would gladly wear a wig for a whole year, to have the pleasure of furnishing to his friends so iuteieeWng a souvenir. The publication of the book, then, is dependent on the receipt.of GOO subscribers, and one mouth will be allowed for u. "cs to be given in.
