The Spring Business.
.Weere pleased to learn, from our eastern ex
thanges, that the spring business is opening with
14iglitrprirspects. The Baltimore. Sun of the 7th in
.l.Sieist, says that "the business of Baltimore has open
eiith brighter and more promising prospects of a
loud harvest to our merchants than during any pre
year in the commercial history of the city."—
pld the Merchant's Ledger, in New York, of the
..awiend,(which is devoted exclusively to mercantile
says that "Country Merchants, from the
rsote distant places, are crowding in, with means to
leeet-theirliabilitier; and specie from the interior al
' satticisra in rather freely. • • The state of oar
...foreign - ttade,.st the various ports, is generally fa
latile; taking into account the state of Europe.”
BoArns.we can judge from the tone of the Phila
deiphia the prospect is as good there as i t
fris lien for 1111.111 years: the country merchants aro
t tippling forward to settle up their liabilities for the
last year; and are laying in large supplies, as hereto
`ln Boston, the same indications of prosperity

-Inutlaess of the country is opening as briskly as any
Setwinable' men could wish.

its banner. The number of persons could not have
been lees than from sixty to seventy thousand. On
arriving at theflotel de Ville they were received and
harangued by some members of the Prirnsionel Gov

were a few cries of "Vive Ledre Rollin." Oa lenv-

fect order, towards the Boulevard, passing through
the Place de la Bourse, singing the Marseillaise,aud
shouting "•Vive la Republique," but without evin-
cing the slightest, ejr'mptems of turbulence. There
were a few cries icit "A buries Carlistes," and now
and then a cry of , Irive Ledru Rollin, but they found
no general echo, and the mass appeared to be actu
ated only by a feeling of enthusiasm in favor of the
Republic. The meeting began to disperse early in
the evening, and
. we have not heard that there was
the slightest breach of order
PAHL, March 18, (Saturday two o'clock.)--The
-financial measures of M. Gautier Pages meet almost
with general approbation In the journals, on account
of the necessity of the position. There must indeed
be a strong conviction of the necessity of a decree
which adds 45 per cent. to the direct taxes, to recon
cile the public to it at a time when the channels of
trade are nearly stopped. To quit evils, howei'er
great remedies must be applied. The Debuts says:—
"The provisional government, in order to place
the treasury as soon as possible in a position to meet
all public expenses, has just taken two important
measures. It adds 46 centimes per franc to the to
tal of the four direst taxes for this year alone, and
this supplement of tales is required to be immedi
ately paid. It is a sum which will amount to 190,-
008,005. In the second place, the falling due of
the bons do tresor issued before the 24th February,
and which amount to 276000,000 f., is adjourned fur
six months. The interest will continue to be paid
in consequence of the delay.
The holders have the privilege ofetelianging those
bonds against coupons of the national loan in 5 per
cents, at par. On the arrival of the new enchrance,
the reimbursements will he made in specie. Thrse
two measures have necessity lbr excuse, and it is im
possible to recognise it. or all the expedients which
it was possible to imagine, in the absence of public
credit, they are what are east to be regretted. The
propriete fonder, is unhappily accustomed to have
extraordinary sacrifices demanded of it in difficult
times. It was thus at the end.of the empire the di
rect taxes were increased.
A similar thing took place in 1531. As to the
bons du tresor, from the moment at which the pro
visional government touched the savings' bank, it
was evident that they would be dealt .with also.—
Capitalists will be subjected to the same destiny as
the people but ill to do in the world, who took their
reserves as the manufacturers, as the merchants, to
whom the increase of the direct taxes is a cause of
embarrassment. In the present condition .of the
country each must, without murmuring, support an
increase of charges, and even accept embarrass
ments. May all this be temporary!
Some.rioting took place at Lubeck on the 11th,
but v.as quelled by the civic guard, without the in
tervention of the regular troops.
The King of Prussia has issued a decree, convok
ing the United Diet of the kingdom at Berlin on the
27th of April. The grave and difficult circumstan
cea in which the kingdom is at present placed, and
the necesiity of leading to a real regeneration of
a Germanic confederation, and enabling Germany to
resume the rank belonging to her in Europe, are id
leged us the reasons for this step.
The Prussian Universal Gazette, of the 15th, states
that the Sovereigns of Austria and Prussia are come
to a cordial understanding to make, in concert with
the other Princes of Germany, nil reasonable con-
COMMIS, but to resist e'ory attempt at a revolution
ary movement.
We Iparn from Vienna that a petition with innu
merable signatures has been presented to the states
demanding a full and free adhesion to the new Ger
man policy; a parliament representing all the coun
tries, all the classes, and all the interests of the
monarchy ; voting the taxes, controlling the admin
istration of the finances and participating in the en
actment of the laws; the freedom of the press; pub
lieu/ of all judicial trials; publicity of the adminia
trationi and representation of the aKriculture, com
merce, snanufueterea, and sciencoet the country.
A letter from Frankfort states that a congress of
German Princes, convoked by Austria and Prus
sia, will be held at Dresden on the 25th inst.
LOVDOS, March 16—The mission of Gen. Rado
witz to Vienna by the Prussian government had giv
en rise to a report, current in Germany that he is
empowered to open negotiations for a defensive alli
ance between the Courts of Austria, Prussia, and
Russia. This report has not been authoritatively
contradicted by the official journal of Berlin, and the
intimation which accompanies this contradiction is
scarcely less important than the fact itself.
We are told that "Russia, in conformity with the
declared intentions of their Sovereign, will main
tain her purely expectant attitude with reference to
the new state of things in France, and will seek no
other alliance but that of united Germany, peace
able, but armed against all foreign aggressions.
The mission of M. do Radowitz to Vienna has no
other object but to announce those measures, which
krussia deems necessary to increase the defensive
powers of the German Confederation. If other de
fensive measures should hereafter be contemplated
With any non German state, it would unquestionably
be with England.
Aeirrar.s.—Vienna, March 13.—Vienna is in full
revolt. All the inhabitants of the capital have ris
en en mane. All minds aro in a state of the highest
excitement. The crowd proceeded to the villa of
Metternich, situated on the Renn-road., and destroy
ed it. •
Afterwards. the mass surrounded the State Chan
celberie, the students beading the movement. They
made the moat extravagant demands. Some one ap
peared on the balcony, and declared the Emperor
would shortly accede to their wishes.
The Emperor of Austria concedes. The troops
of the line are withdrawn, and the city, by the Em
peror, placed in charge of the students and the peo
ple.
The emperor of Russia accepts the policy of non
intervention, and France remains within her" own
limits.

of the 13th announces the arttlement of the differ

SusrEnSlOn OF CASUPATMEnTS IN Faalver...—The
account of the suspension of paymentaiiiiipecie by
the Iletir-vof France received this morning gave a
considerable shock in the first instance to persons
who had not duly appreciated the tendency of cur
rent events in that country. To those who have re
flected more deeply on the subject it was no matter
of surprise, but on the contrary it has for upwards
cd a week past been looked forward to as inevitable.
Indeed, the view taken by themost competentj edges
is, that it would have been better if the measure
had been adopted at an earlier date. No doubt
whatever is entertained of the Bank of France being
perfectly competent to meet all engagements in the
ordinary course of events; and even as it is, it is al
most useless upon the matter, as the measure adopt
ed does notproceed from choice.
That it will have &tendency to arrest the progress
of the panic is the more general conclusion conic to
here. The resolution subsequently come to, to pay
the small notes issued by the bank in specie, is so
far a prudent step, as it will faciliato transactions
amongst the smaller class of shopkeepers and deal
er.. It is fortunate for France, indeed, at such a
trying crisis, that the business throughout the pro
vinces has been so generally done by a metallic cur
rency; and in this respect on just comparison can be
drawn between them and the condition in which this
country would be placed in a similar state of die.
credit.—London Standard, 17th
The suspension of cash paymentaby the Bank of
France as we predicted some days since, has been
sanctioned by the Provisional Goverement, and the
measure is of no little importance to foreign coun
tries. In this city this morning, it has been the top
ic of universal conversation, and.opinions are tolera
bly unanimous as to its expediency, and likewise as
to the result. Already, us is stated, English gold
commands a goodly premituri at Paris, and it will be
the interest of parties here, indebted to French
houses, to forward specie at once, with the view of
realizing so important a benefit. Indeed the opera
tion may be carried lunch further, and degenerate
into a mere specillation.--Gide.
Peals, March IS.—The Board of Directors of the
National Discount Bank, taking into consideration

IS TEAIt BOAT EXPLOSIONS
To the Honorable the Senate and the House of Repri
tentative: of the United States, in Congress as
sembled:
The Memorial of the Board of Trade of the City
of Pittsburgh, respectfully represents t
That the accidents whiclv have recently taken
place on board of several Steam Boats on the
Ohio River, appear to call for additional legal pro
tection, against the ignorance or carelessness from
win h they appear to have originated.
That your memorialists approach the considera
tion of this subject with a deep conviction of its im
portance, and of the difficulties which surround it,
both from the number of valuable lives and amount
of property which may be injuriously affected by
hasty.-or incautious legislation, and Crow the various
and-cionflicting opinions entertained by the most
scientific and eminent men of the age, as well as by
the most experienced engine builders and practical
engineers, with regard to the causes which lead to
these terrible accidents, and alto to the most effi
cient means of presenting their occurrence.
Under these circumstances, your committee with
great diffidence in their own judgment, beg leave to
express their views with regard to seine of the caus
es which they believed to have produced the greater
part, if not the whole of the explosions which have
occurred on the Ohio and the Lakes, and to suggest
some remedies, which if duly enforced by legisla
tive provisions, would in their opinion very materi
ally diminish the dangers of Steam Navigation.—
Among the most p-ominent of these ctuses may he
considered an insufficient supply of water in the
Boilers. Should the quantity of water in them be
permitted to be so far exhausted that it does not cov
er the flues, they become heated to such a degree by
the action of the fire on the uncovered portion, that
they can no longer sustain the pressure of the steam
on their upper surface, and become collapsed or
crushed_by its force, tearing their fastenings from
the boiler head, thus producing a large aperture by
which the steam and heated water may escape, and
carry death and destruction to every person in their
way. The heat means to prevent accidents from
this cause, would be to provide a separate Engine
for every Boat, with pumping aparates, to supply the
Boilers with water, and which might be used while
the Boat is at rest and the other engines not running,
and if confined with proper gauge cocks, or other
suitable contrivances for ascertaining the level of
the water in each Boiler, under the charge of a
careful Engineer, no danger need be apprehended
from this cause, especially so long as the Boat is
kept upon an even keel and beam, which point re
quires snore attention than is frequently given to it.
Another cause of the explosion of boilers, may he
found in the practice of working the steam at a high
er pressure than the boilers will bear, and especial
ly when desiring the temporary stoppage of the
boat, for any purpose, the enginee-, should omit to
let the steam escape at the safety valve, or other
wise. This reprehensible practice is strictly forbid
den, by the 7th section of the existing law, under
penalty of two hundred dollars ; but it is still fre
quently adopted; and although, there may exist
some difference of opinion, as to the mode by which
the effect is produced, the fact is undoubted, that
explosions most frequently occur, immediately on
starting the engine, alter its operation has been sus
pended for a while • even when there has been no
evidence of any deficiency of water in the boilers,
although, it cannot take place when steam is used
at a moderate pressure, and suffered to escape by
the safety valve as fast as it may accumulate from
the inaction of the engine.
The most effectual means of guarding against ac
cidents, from extreme pressure of steam, would, in
the opinion of your memorialists, be, by compelling
every boat to be provided with a Safety Valve, in ad
dition to that now universally used, and of larger
area, to be loaded by the inspector of engines,
to such limit as he might decide, after
,pro
per investigation,-and to be constructed as not
to be accessible to the engineer, or any person on
board the steamer, for any purpose, but to open it
from time to time, to prevent act:esion, and keep
is in order,
-•- . - -
To guard against the dangers that mightarise from
imperfection in the workmanship, or inferiority of
the materials employed in the construction of the
boilers and flues, or from reduction of their strength
by long service, deposition of sediment or other
causes, your memorialists would recommend a more
rigid inspection than the law now requires, which
should take place every six months, or as much oft
ener, as the inspector or principal engineer may re
quire, at which times, the boilers should be filled
with water, and subjected to hydrostatic pressure,
which may be done by the means of a force pump,
attached to the engine, under the superintendence of
the inspector, amounting at least to double the pres
sure which the boilers shall, by his certificate, be per
mitted to carry; which certificate should be put up
in a conspicuous part of the vessel, and should be
compared with the weight affixed to the additional
safety valve, previously alluded to.
In addition to the aecurity.derived from double
safety valves, and frequent testing of the Boilers by
hydrostatic pressure, at least 5 Woes as great as they
are permitted to employ when in use, the French
Government has adopted the expedient of affixing to
each Boiler one ortwo plugs or discs of metal which
shall be fusible at a temperature, but a few degrees
above that at which the Boiler is allowed to be
worked, and by the melting of ,which the refitted
steam will be permitted to escape before it reaches
a degree of tension which may be injurious. This
principle has been occasionally tried in the United
States, bathos never been generally adopted. A plan
somewhat similar has been introduced on some of
the Western Boats by Mr. C. Evan', in hie safety
guard.
Your Memorialists do not possess sufficient in
formation on this subject to warrant them to recom-.
mend this instrument as en infallible guide, but they
believe Its adoption tinder proper instructions would
be attended with -beneficial effects.

- relative to it, as will enable your honora
ble bodice to act with greater certainty and efficient,.
Your memorialists moreover believe, that the
adoption of any proposed improvement in the appa
paratus employed on Steam Boati,will be of but small
advantage unless some plan could be devised for
elevating the character and pesitian of the F.egi-
Doers employed on the Boats, and providing an am
ple supply of men ofsultibient ciipacity4 knowledge,
practice and attention to discharge the onerous
and responsible duties incumbent upon the Office of
Steam Boat Engineer.
As one means of accomplishing this object, it is
proposed, that the District Judge shall be author
ized to appoint at such places as may be designated,
a board of Eiaminers, consisting of five members,
chosen from among the principal Engine builders
and River Engineer, residing there, whose duty it
shall be to examine all applicants for the situation
of River Engineers, and after careful enquiry and
examination with regard to the character and habits,
as well as the mechanical skill and knowledge of
such applicant, shall give them certificates or Diplo
mas for the situation of first, second or:third Engi
neer, as they might be found worthy and well qual
ified. The same Board should be authorized to ap
point the Inspector of Steam Boat Engines—Should
provide an office for the Registry of Engineers,
and, should examine into the particulars of any
explosion or accident which may take place within
their jurisdictions and have power to evoke any cer
tificate or diploma Win their judgment any criminal
neglect or misconduct of the Engineer should occa
sion such explosion, or other accident; and should
be authorized to promote such 2nd or 3d Engineers
to higher grades, as further experience might render
them qualified.
As one means of guarding against the danger Of
explosions, it has been proposed to prohibit abdo
lutely the employment of steam beyond a certain
pressure, say 100 to 120 lbs. to the inch; but your
memorialist, believe that although the advantages
of using steam above that degree may be doubted,
yet it would be considered by many to be an arbi
trary exercise of power to pass any express law on
the subject; and that by adopting the precautions
recommended, the same (Meet would be more ef
fectually accomplished, either by the use of the fit.
Bible metal which might be prepared at either of
the United States Mints, or by the Inspectors of
Engines at the various poits, of such composition
as to melt at any required temperature, and conse
quently give way under any degree of pressure
which the Boilers to which it would be applied,
might be able to sustain without danger of explo
sion.
Many of the citizens who have directed their at
tention to this subject, have formed a favorable o
pinion of a School fur Engineers, to be supported
by the Government; but, although your memorial
ists are not disposed to yield to any person in their
desire to promote, a thorough practical and theoreti
cal knovviedge of steam engineering and all its
kindred sciences, they fear that the constitutional
and other difficulties which might be raised in op
position to such an institution, together with the
local jealousies to which it would give rise, would
seriously obstruct if not altogether destrorits bene
fits, and would the afore much prefer to see the
Engineers and other Mechanics in our Western
Towns and Cities adopt the necessary means to
provide suitable instruction by Lectures, or other
wise among themselves:lnd under their own con
Having thus briefly considered the dangers arising
from the employment of steam, as the impelling
power, your memorialises will submit a few remarks
upon the question of pirelsge. On this subject it is
very difficult to adopt any specific rules; as, from
the variety of circumstancea ender which steam
boats inert; the peculiarity of the channel in seve
ral party of the rivers; the difficulty of ascertaining;
during a hearytiiig, either the distance orfpesition of
an approaching steamboat; and other perplexing oc
currences; a great degree of discretion mustal ways
be left with the pilot.
The only safe means of avoiding collision, during
a dark night, or a fog, appears to be, for both boats
to reduce their speed as they approach, and in very
narrow channels, or intricate passages, for the de
scending boat merely to float with the current; as
the constant ringing of hells, or blowing of whis
tles, would only tend to produce confusion, and
prevent the pilots from judging of the strength and
posit inn f the current, or the approach to rocks or
snags, by the sound they make from the action of
the stream ; and in many instances, a rigid adhe
rence to any set of general rules, would only tend
to produce the evils they are designed to avert.
Your Memorialists are aware that the explosion
of , Steain Boilers has sometimes been attributed to
the rapid combustion of an explosive mixture of
xygen and hy iroden gasesi produced by the action
of toe heated Boiler upon the water and steam there
in contained. Your Memorialists hare met with on
sufficient evidence to lead them to coincide in this
opinion, but they would remark, that if future lig
periemie should fully establish this theory, Cray be
lieve the adoption of the Boiler Don, plated with
copper of which specimens were exhibited by Dr..
Woods of Ohio, if used in connextion with copper
coated rivets, would have s great tendency t#3ll=o , o
any hazard from that cause.
There is one improvement in the lax' respecting
river navigation which your Memorialists deem of
great importance namely that all keel boats, fiats,
rafts, coal boats, or other craft should be compelled
by law to exhibit lights when Boating at night or
when laying by in the neighborhood of such places
as are used for steam boat landings. This precau
tion would much facilitate the navigation of Steam
Boats and would prove the means of preserving
many valuable lives sad a large aoaount of property,
Your memorialists do not consider it necessary
to enter into details with regard to the amount' of
boats, the magnitude of the commerce, or the
number of persons both as pasaengers nr naviga
tors, which are interested in this imptfitant ques
tion, but would earnestly end respectfully call the
attention of your honorable bodies to the impor
tance of adopting such measures as may render life
and property more secure, and more folly develope
the vast resources of the growing regions which
are interested in its decision.

it has built up for itself a name which has thrown corn

Mr. Wiseman, who keeps a livery stable, who dis

woman has been employed to take care of her; and

DR. WILLARD'S ADVERTISEMENT FOR 1848.
T'
sE family remedies have already become so ant
versally popular, wherever introduced, that the pro.
pnetors are induced tp place them within the reach of pll.
Of the virtues of these medicines, it is altogether unne
cessary for us to speak, as they have always, IV tKiert? in.
teodueed, been able to recommend themselves. The numer
ous certificates, which from time to time have been pub
lished, besides others now in our possession, is suftinieut
evidence, not only of their virtue and power to cure, but
that they are duly appreciated by an intelligent public.
When the countryis flooded with " Panaceas," "Elixers,”
"Balsams? and "Fills," and many of them of a doubtful
character, persons are at a loss to know how far they
should trust any of them. Baca than all, and try those
which have been proved by the experience of years. Such
is the _character of the medicines compounded by .Dr.
Willard, an eminent practitioner, and sold by men of
character who have something ;voce at stake than the ac
cumulation of a few dollars. In order that the public
may know what these medicines are, the greater part of
our advertising will be genuine arrifteata. Thus you may
be satisfied that "their own works will praise them..
DR. WILLARD'S VERMIFUOE
Is warranted equal Many in the world, and is sold at are
duced price. Your money will be refunded if it does not
prove to be as good, or better, than any Vertnifuge ever al
tered to the public. Mothers can rely on it in all.ceses,
as it is an unfailing cure for. Worms. '
DR. WILLARD'S .ANTI-BILIOUS AND LIVER PILLS
Have long been used and recommended by physicians.
They never fail to benefit the patient in all eases of a bil
lions character. Billions Fevers, Liver Complaint, and
general indisposition of the stomach and bowels, are
speedily removed by the use of theee pills. Compounded
upon strict principles of science, with directieference to
that class of diseases fur which they are recomurtended,
we can safey any that they are without an equal, and may
at all times be relied on as MILD, saes, and EFFECTUAL.
DR. WILL.A.IIIYR ORIENTAL COUGH MIXTURE
Requires no recommendation from.us, as the numerous
certificates vo/unuirily banded to us by those who have
been cured by it,'after all otherrnedicume had failed, is
sufficient testimony in its favor. In all cases of Cough,
Cold. Influenza, Sore Throat, and Con,tumption in its first
states, this.medicine stands pre-eminent, having been
pronounced by those who use it, as better than "Act.
Ontraw," and strongly reconnuend it as the best; •ix
rite WORLD."
DR. WILLARD'S FEVER AND AGUE EXTERAII
- NATER
Has - no equal. This is a strong assertion, but experience
tells us that it is not too strong; as it has never, as yet, in
a single instance, failed to effect a permanent cure. Yi - e
have in our possession, certificates both written and ver
bal, from persons who have been entirely cured of that
most disagreeable disease, when every thinge/sehadfatled.
Numerous cases have come under our own.personal ob
servation, and we have never known of its failing to ef
fect a Leman cans. One gentleman assures its, amt cer
tifies toiliat effect, that with musatillill ONE bottle, rue=
persons were entirely , cured,
.himself being one of them.
We should have little hesitation in warranting it, as au
unfailing cure, in the most obstinate easel.: Get a pamphlet
from the Agents, and try it. - .
