A TRIP ACROSS THE .WATER.
GuAntu—non . animant mutant,
Qui trans mare enmmt."
On account of rough seas, raging
winds, and the consequent prevalence
of disorder, dishabille, and disability
on board our steamer, contrary to the
usual practice and the seeming duty
and prerogative of the Captain, .no
services were read by him in the cabin
on our first Sunday at sea. One of
the clergymen (of whom we had three
or four on board), -in reference to a
proposed discourse. etpressed the
fear that in ..such an attempt he
should be able neither to stick to
text or pulpit.
But on the second (being Trinity)
Sunday, the sea was more calm and
the sun shone out upon its waters in
all the splendor of -Tune. Such of
the oflicers and crew as were off duty,
some of the steerage, and nearly all
the cabin passengers assembled and
Capt. Brooks read, the morning ser
vice with the prayers for the Royal
Family,and the prayer at sea, after
wards giving out the psalm and lead
ing in the singing with a remarkably
strong and not unmehxlions voice,
closing with the doxolot,ry, in general
chorus, to the familiar strains of "Old
Hundred." After which followed a
discourse by Rev. Dr.. Willis, of To
ronto. Iu the afternoon, Dr. Dun
can, of London, a fine old Scottish
gentleman, who with his family had
been spending a year or two in the
United States, preached an able ser
mon to a congregation upon the'quar
ter-deck, where a wide awning of can
vas had been provided for the occa
sion. Another meeting was held to
ward evening on the forecastle, more
especially for the benefit of the sailors
and steerage passengers, at which.
Judge A— and others made some
eloquent and appropriate remarks.
One of the sailors (as the Judge af
terwards informed me) came to him
at- the close of the meeting, to express
his gratitude, stating that during the
twenty years he had been upon the
sea, he Mid not before enjoyed a privi
lege of the kind.. "It is certain, sir,
as you must very well know" (he ad
ded), " that we sailors need these op
portunities quite Rs much as ~anyb
ody."
Notwithstanding the headwinds
which retarded our progress, the 75
tons of coal daily consumed served to
carry our good ship onward at a rate
varying from ten to fifteen knots (or
miles) per hour. Although a vessel
of her dimensions—with four masts,
each:nearly 100 feet in height—can
of course " spread a wide canvas," the
sails, as I am told, even with a favor
able wind, add only three or four
miles per hour to the rate of progress.
At the same time, a wind directly
asternis regarded not as favorable-as
one from the, quarter, for the reason
tLat in the former case the main force
of the breeze is spent upon the sails
of the aft-mast only—while in the lat
ter. its impetus operates upon all the
canvas that is hoisted. Very much
depends, too, upon the force of a cur
rent of air passing directly downward
(through a canvas tunnel from the
upper deck) to the submarine fires,
on whose volume 'and fierceness the
action of the maehinery and the con
sequent progress of the vessel de
pend. Thus Bing .tolus and the
" powers of the air " seem not to have
been wholly shorn of their original
importance by the introduction' of
steam navigation. Wind (whether
operating.on coal or canvas, - whether
for " steaming " or sailing,) still con
stitutes an indispensable 'element in
marine locomotion—as :.' well as in.
" financial and political Rowel's" on
the mainland.
Upon the wide, open sea—utterly
destitute of any landniqrke, as an
Irishman might sal—=we-could in uo
Other way so well judge pf, or realize
the distance we had travailed, as by
the change of solar time. As•our lon
gitude westward from Greenwichles
sened, noon was not of course on any
day the same absolute time as on the
day- previous : and the ship's time
was set forward accordingly at each
successive noon. On one occasion;
by my watch KAM running on New
York time), I noiioed the hour to be

Pet rd, or "'Mother Carers chickens '
(a bird resembling the. swallow in
flight, though somewhat larger), with
regard to which sailors entertain car
tam superstitions ideas. It was at
last agreeable to see land' birds , boy
ering about the rigging, which' was
the case some time before land was
in sight.
It is customary to regard a pas
sage across the ocean as monotonous
and tiresome ; but such is not neces
sarily the case, at least in the emu
paiative_ly short voyages of trans-At- •
'antic steamers. In fact, what - -with
the improvement of the weather, the
better acquaintance and increasing
sociability of the passengersand their
recovery from the disheartening afflic
tion of mal de mil-, it was evident
that we were just .beginnitig properly
to enjoy the voyage as it was about
terminating, to separate its forever
as an entire circle. Seeking, from
the hour of our landing, points AO
widely different in the civilized or un
civilized world, and borne rapidly
'asunder by steamer or railway, what
human power, perseverance or indus
try, Oould recall us to' form again the
circle we had quitted—Were such a
consummation by any chance neces
sary or desirable?
The period of such a voyage seems
wonderfully unnoticeable its lapse,
so that it is difficult to realize at the
close, that even ten or twelve days
have passed sinmone's embarkation.
So widely apart frequently are the
homes of ocean travelers, and so va
ried their experiences, that much is
to be learned from each other; and
conversation is often in a high degree
interesting. Strange recognitions,
as well as strange associations, some=
times too will occur. Thus, two gen
tlemen '( with each of whom I formed
a very pleasant and subsequently use
ful acquaintance), on meeting upon
the decks of the City fl London,
seethed (as they said each to
struck with a dim and, partial recog
nition of the other '• but when or
where they had ever before met, nei
ther could determine. On the inter
change of address, however, the fact
came up that they. had been playfel
lows together in boyhood, in the
streets of Harrisburg, Pa. One of
them, Mr. F. of St. Louis, was the
son of a former well known cashier
of the " Harrisburg Bank," and while
vet a lad; had left home to seek his
- fortunes at the West. Procuring em-,
ploynient in the lead mines of Mis
souri, by his thrift and industry he
soon obtained an interest there, and
had eventually become a wealthy and
respected citizen of St. Louis.
The other (Hon. Jos. A—) was
the son of an Irish emig rant, who
with limited means was able to be-
stow upon his son merely the oppor
tunity of obtaining a respectable edu
'cation. Dependent thenceforth up -
ou)is own exertions, the son studied
the profession of law ; and gradually
risine , by talent, perseverance and
gooXprinciple, was now one of the
most respected judges in the courts
of Philadelphia. Accompanied, by
his lady (a highly interesting and
amiable woman), he was on his way
to visit the former home of his fath
ers in the Emerald Isle.
These two associates of boyhood
had known nothing of the subsequent
career 'Or locality of each other until
thus unexpectedly meeting upon the
broad Atlantic—and as may welt be
supposed, a host of early reminiscen
ces came up for discussion on the re
newal of their long discontinued se
quaintance.
I was much interested in the expe
riences of a hale and cheerful old
gentleman (the patriarch of our cir
cle), who told me that his only pre
vious passage across the Atlanticmas
in the year 1810, when he came over
—a stout Irish lad just out of his
teens—to make his way as best 'he
might upon our Western shores. He
was now .returning ; "to see. how
things looked "—after an' absence of
lifts-seven years—at the old place
where he was born, and where (so far
as he could ascertain) there was but
a single individual of .. his boyhood's
acquaintance left to greet his. return.
The reflection was natural, that if the
old gentleman counted upon much
pleasure in revisiting early scenes un
deesuch circumstances, he was doom
ed to disappointment.
From rehable'sources, I afterwards
learned that he had been sufficiently
successful, in " seeking his fortune,'
to accumulate a property of some two
millions of dollars in the . Carolinas,
and unfortunate enough to lose about
one-fourth of it by the " Great Re
bellion."
As a counterpart to this venerable
voyager, we had among our passen
gers an individual positively, on his
lust, trip abroad, in thriving health,
and - hailing by a continuous route
from: the scenes of, his nativity, on the
far shores of Vancouver's Island, aged
seven weeks!

large class of adventurers: • The mode
of life with such of .these as ."rough

For the Most part they devote th ir 1
atte tion to the raising of laymen
herd of cattle and sheep. To t• 's
rude and lonely life (even when rear

after) accumulating great wealth,)

infusing saltpetre, so, that the beef
could be transported in a good state
of preservation. The first cargo for
warded to England not commanding
a ready sale, chanced to find a pur
chaser in the Prussian Government
then preparing for sudden hostilities
with. France. - The more recent dis
covery, however, of " Liebig's pro
cess,' - which converts the entire es
sence of the beef into a sort of liquid
.." pemmican," affording au excellent
nutriment in a concentrated form, is
calculated to be of great .advantage
to Australia and to the world.
The Murray Iliver-,navigable for
1,000 miles by steamers—is the only
large stream, and the dryness of the
country—streams and springs being
scarce—constitutes its most•nufacor
able feature. The Australian forests
afford abundant and valuable timber,
especially in their
. growth of cedar.
Their trees, however, it is said, do
not give a dense shade, the leaves
drooping directly and peculiarly
downward.. Coal is abundant..
The birds are remarkable, like
those of South America, for their
brilliancy, of pluma g e . Beasts of prey
are not founa here, except the wild
dogs, whiclr roam over the plains in
great numbers, and are of course a.
great pest, especially to the sheep
growers—though strychnine is used
with considerable success in. their
wholesale extermination. Nehily all
the indigenous quadrupeds are said
to be of the typo of the Kangaroo, an
animal peculiar to the country, and•
often seven feet in length. The flesh
is said to be excellent, considerably
resembling venison in its flavor. Such
are often their numbers and voracity,
that they commit serious ravages up
on the settler's plantation. ,
The aboriginal inhabitants arc
blacks—probably of Malay origin—
and ecnstitute . a low graile of hu
manity. Treacherous and brutal, they
are still to some extent employed by
the colonists as herdsmen. The
BoomePatty is their native weapon, be
ing a club with a peculiar spiral curve,
and.thrown with such singular dex
terity that it is said to return from
its swift and circuitous flight to the
feet of its projector. C. C. P.
SIGNB OF THE HANDS.-A little work

gether a large amount of amusing
gossip, but we cannot say how much
you must believe of it. The person
who will carefully study the wrinkles
furrows, lines and hollows on the
hands, will be able to tell fortunes as
well as any modern Gipsy: • '
If the Valm of the hand be long,
and the fingers well proportioned,
etc., not soft, but maker hard, it de
notes the person to be ingenious,
changeable and given to theft and.
vice.
If the hands be hollow, solid, and
well knit in the joints, it predicts
long life, but if overthwarted then it
denotes short life.
Observe the finger of Mercury—
that-is the little finger; if the end of
it exceeds the joint of he ring finger
such a man will rule in his own house;
and his wife will.be pleasing and obe
dient to him; but if it be short sand
does not reach the joint he will have
a shrew, and she will be boss." _

t i e
I st to this now, that it May be re

the nornions production which has

territory. I present the increase of

The year 1820 marked the begin

country. The population of thecoun

and the number of tons mined were

But vast as this undeveloped wealth
is, and astonishing as its develop
ment hasbeen, it is but a trifle when
compared to the bituminous coal de
posits of our coumry, or indeed of
Pennsylvania. Within a circle of one
hundred miles, of which Pittsburg,
in the western extremity of my State,
is the center, there is enough bitumi
nous coal in the earth to .pay, off the
national delfts of all the Govern
ments of the world many Hines over.
And it has been estimated, from geo
logical surveys, that this coal would
pay our national debt fifty-four times
if its stupendous value could be re
alized at once. This, you will please
remernber i is in Western Pennsylvan-:
is alone, and onlyetomprises one-des
cription of a particular wealth, which
is surrounded, and to some extent
dwarfed, by other wonderful resour
Ceti in that section of our State.
It is impossible to overestimate the
value of this wealth, or its relations
to other industries. It is to-day the
foundation of our wealth, and a glance
at the distribution of bituminous coal
over the country indicates clearly to
my mind that develppment of this
single interest is the basis for a pros
perity, under wise laws, which would
do more than anything else to ren
der us independent of every external
influence, however it might be exert

from the Btate of Pentisylvania.
And While the - capital invested in

in the anthracite region, this marked
difference exists between these 'great,
interests, and is well 'worthy of re-
membrance. The bituminous coal is
situated far in the interior, it suffers
greater wastenge in mining and car
riage than hard coal, and it is open
to the competien of a foreign pro
duct, having all j the advantages of
cheap ocean carriages, while our soft

to bring it to ;ide-water and an eas-.

I have already averted to the fact
that, my awn State has more miles of
railroad than any other, and that the
cost per mile is greater than in other
States and I have justly attributed
this supremacy to the coal mining.
Before I leave this branch of the sub
ject let me add another fact which
will doubtless be interesting. -Be
neath the surface, far down in the
mines, (in some instances as much as
1,500 feet below the level of the riv
ers,) we have in the small anthracite
regions more than 400 miles of rail
road, not included in the aggregate
railways in the States. I may be more
successful in placing this before Sen
ators by assuring them that these
subterranean railways would, if form
ed into one continuous line, reach
from Boston to Washington ; or they
would form a double track road from
here to New York, and back again to
where I speak. ,
While the subject on which 1 now
address yon is of National impor.
twice, Niece confined my illustra
tions entirely within my
,native State.
The personal knowledge and familiar
ity I Frisess in relation to the . subject
as it has developed about my home,
and also the higher degree of skill
that has been attained with us than
iu other sections haatgoverned me in
this design. And, pursuing that
course, I call attention to the cities
of Philadelphia and Pittsburg in
Pennsylvania, eminently illustrative
of the:benefits flowing from coal as
shown in creating and maintaining
home manufactures and home indus
try. When the commercial interests
ottthe country were transferred- to
New York, and Philadelphia lost her
supremacy as the emporium of the
nation, her people at once directed
their attention to the creation of the'
wares and fabrics which she had for
merly been content to exchange. The
result is that instead of sinking un
der the withdrawal of commerce she
is now the - greatest . manufacturing
city on the continent. She has a
better - fed, better clothed, and better
paid population, than any city in this
country. And she has the best hous
ed populations, of any city on the.
globe.
Second to Philadelphia in this last
particular (and in the, extent of her
product- second to Philadelphia
alone) is Pittsburg, .in the western
part of the State, I in part represent.
Here is the great workshOp of our
iron manufactures. And here too, as
in our eastern city, the same natural
Wealth (coal) forms the basis and
foundation of her prosperity. Here
is to be seen thrift, industry, intelii-
gence, admirable schools, magnificent
churches, noble charities, and free
dom as near perfect as can be found
anywhere. While less than half . a
dozen British corsairs-were sweeping
our commerce from every sea, this
city sent one continual stream of can
non, shot and shellyes, and heroic
men—to save the nation's life from
the greatest danger_ which ever has
or ever can threaten it. 'And while

except our Own, which ever' waged

alone by the coal shipped from the

also Tyreirented the destruction of our

ORIGIN OF THE ROOTER. IN
. POLITICS.
The Cincinnati Envirer explains
the origin of " the rooster" in poli
ties. It says :It was not until so
kite a period os 1840, the year of the
" log cabin," " hard cider," and "coon
skin" campaign, which resulted in
the election of General Harrison,that
he - made his appearance. Indiana
then had her State electioni in Au,
gnat. The editor of our respected
Democratic cotemporary, the Indian,
apolis Sentinel, was John W. Chap:.
man. In those days locomotion was
slim, and it required 'days, and even
weeks, to , get any returns from the
back counties. It so happened that
in some particular,connty ni Indiana
the Democrats made a gain over pre
vious elections. •An enthusiastic
Democrat wrote tna friend in India
napolis the news, and • not knowing
Mr. Chapman. the editor of the Sena
linel, personally, requested his friend
to communicate the facts to Chap.
man, adding,these aignificent words,
"" Tell Chapman to crow.". Catching
the inspiration of his second hand
correspondent, Chapman did "crow"
in the Sentinel, and as the business of
" crowing" languidly. done by &m
-ilieus, he brought` outone of these
fine, large birds at the head of his
columns. That was the first:rooster
ever placed inn Democratic paper to
rejoice over a Democratic victory.
As the general results of that electicar
were against us, it was a nuttier of
dorision for the Whig papers,when
any Whig victory wits . obtained, to
.add these words, "Tell Chapman to
crow." ,This assisted to, fi s the Mit
ter in the popular.' mind,- and to na.
tionalize theemblem.' . No better one

NUMBER 45.
THE FOUNDLING ASYLUM IN N. L
CITY.
As soon us the bell rings the &or
is opened by the portress, and a nurse
or sister immediately goes to thebas
ket in the vestibule to take the bab y ,
in. It is not often that she sees the
mother or depositor. . The - child is
immediately taken into the reception
room. If in danger of dying it is
baptized at once. If strong and
healthy, and in the nude condition
in Which babes are usually left, the
necessary attention is given by a
nurse or Retoucher. The babe is
washed, its toilet is made, and it is
furnished withl a warm bed in the -
nursery. In the mean time a record
- of its arrival and all the attendant
circumstances is made, and its name I
registered, if any has been left with
it. •
Sometimes some of the most touch
ing incidents, occur at the time or re
ception.. In one instance a poor
mother, after leaving her child, re
turned to the vestibule before the
child. wasremoved from the basket.
"Let me kiss it once more,m she
cried,lalling on her kneis before, the.
basket, and clasping the,ttie one to
her bosom, "Oh, my baby, how can I
give her up?" and she started off
with it in her arms.
But soon she returned, with the
little one in her basket, rang.the bell
again. Again did she seize it, when
the porteress opened the' door,--sob
bing bitterly.. This _ was continued L
until every sister and , nurse in the
house was attracted to the hall, arid
wali bathed in tears of-sympathy for
the poor distracted mother. kluaUc
