M Hall, on the subject of Coldnization, has been crowd ed out`of to.darspaper. Secretary Walker. in his late annual report, tee ommends a reduction of the price of the public lands to twenty-five cent an acre. We make the folio:01g extract on this subject from his admirable report: According to a table , of the Commissioners of the General Land Office, hereto annexed, marked P., it appears that our whole public domain amounts to 1, .442,217,889 acres, which,' at the present minimum price 0f.51,25 per aers, would make an aggregate value of $1,802472,296. Regarding them, howev er, including our mineral lands at tweet-five cents per acre, they would yield $380,654,459. Large as is this sum, our wealth as a nation would be more rapidly increaied by the sale of all our agricultural lands, at very low rates, not exceeding twenty-five cents per acre, in small farms to actual settlers and cultivators, and thus by enlarged products and ex perts insuring increased trepans and augmehted rev enue, as it is obvious even with liberal appropria tioris that our revenue from lands and customs will enable us to pay the public debt before its maturity. How much better is our Congress thou a band of swindlers, On Friday the 22d the. committee on printing reported a resolve in the hence directing the clerk to runtish members with books to the Ted me of from $5OO to $lOOO for each member. The clerk is to , get the required books at any cost, and distribute them- "Mr.. Wentworth, of 111.,%and Mr. Cocke, of Ten nessee, made an exposition of the manner in which this business was carried on, that was perfectly dis. graceful to the house. They shOwed that in some cases-the members sold the books, and in others merely gave a speeulatingbookseller in town AP or der upon the clerk for them, and received from him one hundred and filly 'or two hundred dollars, for what cost thegoveroment to furnish six or eight hundred dollars. . No attempt Was made to deny or explain' these statements, all attempts to get the yeasand nays upon the resolution tailed, and it pass ed almost nem con." We give , such items of new a in relation to the Cliotem as we think interesting: The steamier Bay State arrived from Cincinnati yesterday, on her way to New Orleans, with quite a number of passengers. - Upon hearing the new& of the prevalence of the cholera in New Orleans, all the passengers that were going South left the boat, any tunny of them immediately returned to Cincin nati au the mail boat. „Several of the officers and crew of the boat also left her unceremioniously.— Lou.

Pnorssson STryintre.—We wore glad to learn that Professor Stephens, had, on Tuesday evening, in the Sixth Ward School Douse, one of the largest audiences that over greeted is scientific lecturer in Pittsburgh. Thilecture , was on the trevelations el the Microscope ; and was the fi rat• of a course or six: which will embrace some of the most interest; ing exhibitions of natural - science. On Monday' evening next, there will be a most brilliant , enter r taint:tient; and as we have been favored with a tick et, we will try and be present. The School Direc tors arid citizens of the Sixth . Ward, are doing what is creditable to themselves and to the city, in pro rooting the difTusion of scientific knowledge. Why are not the School Directors of the other Wards awakened up? Will the old Wards permit this younger sister to reap all the honors ? Violator Stephens has the finest scientific apparatus that ever was in our city; and, if possible, he should be en gaged to exhibit it, and to deliver lectures in all the Public School Houses of Pittsburgh and Allegheny. The cititena of the upper Wards pay him one- hun dred dollars for six exhibitions, which is a very ma iterate sum, when we take into view the splendid abilities of the Professor; and to defray expenses, they dispose of tickets so that adults are admitted to a lecture for about eight cents, and children for half that price. The room on Tuesday everting, we are informed, contained over four hundred persons, not withstanding the inclemency of the weather. Tna MeKr.tarowr Catre.—Several witnesses were examined yesterday in relation to the character of Baker; and also .01 Crane, the principal prosecutor The counsel had commenced their addresses to the jury when we left the court room. We do not blow, at the time of writing, how the jury men may feel, but we have no hesitation in say ing that Peter Baker is entirely innocent of the crime charged against him. We will not my the prosecu tion was malicious, for we can hardly think it was, but that it was impelled by business rivalry , we are tolerably well satisfied. We think Baker was rather reckless in passing so much bad money; but if he is guilty, there is not an innocent business man in this, or any other city. There were three prosecutors in the case, the principal one being Mr. A. L. Crave, a merchant, of McKeesport. It appears he took the most active part in getting up the proceedings against Baker. It was Important that the defence should blacken his character; and to do this, about twenty .witnesses were examined—many of whom knew him thirty years ago; but he was relieved by a question or the Commonwealth!, counsel put to all the witnesses: 4 . Did you lose any thing by Mr. Crane's failure 7" Every one answered, 4 , yes!! So it appears that Mr. C. had failed in the glass business once, and took the benefit of the insolvent laws, by which a large number of people jumped to the con.lusio e Was not honest. Now, in reference to the whole case, we give our opinion that Baker and Crane, are both just Minutes honest as business men can be in this world, to be successful--and no doubt both have grievous faults. sir The Theatre was filled on Monday evening, from Pit to Gallery—even ladies were crowded into the cock-10, because the boors below would not make room for them. Barney put in his best licks; and we are informed several gentlemen from the country laughed right out, a thing they never did a in meetin!" before. On Tuesday evening, Barney Williams took his benefit; -and a.good one it was. There is now no better Irish comedian in the world than Barney, as all say who haie a knowledge of theatricals. MA vows °mos.—Only cues of drunkennen and lighting have occupied the attention of the Mayor for some dais. Yesterday morning there wore five persons brought up—all charged with drunkenness. The last one was a poor German woman who was found in the Filth Ward, homeless, and "a little Ml'. dor the influence of liquor." She told a curious story, and one by no means satisfactory; but the Mayor let her off. An Acres's Taotratss.--We met Barney Wil liams yesterday, and he was in a grand perplexity. His wardrobe has not yet arrived, and he has been getting along so far without a dud of his own. It is well for him that members of the company are clever enough to loan him whatever he wants. So it up pears gentlemen of the sock and buskin have their troubles as well as other folks. Tut WEAVgall held another' meeting .on Tuesday evening. Xt appears that the two mills that struck —the Penn and Pitt—were running on Tuesday with but very small forces. The Penn took in, so the operatives say, some weavers who were once die- charged on account of incompetency; while the efficient hands aro standing out. lair There was a matrimonial squabble on the landing, on Tuesday. It is said that a woman whip ped her husband for alleged bad conduct. As the bystanders had all witnessed the fight between the married pair in .the farce of the 4, Mock Doctor," they thought it imprudent to interfere.. We did not hear bow the affair originated ; but we guessthe hue. band deserved all he got. Rm.— About half a dozen boys, were boundrover yesterday by Alderman Steele to appear in Court, to answer a charge of riot. They committed-the out rage upon a baker on Pennsylvania Avenue, near the Canal bridge, OTI, Saturday night. Several; worm" were engaged in the affair. They say - ,thej , had provocation. CLIOLMA Hoserret..—A suggestion has been given out that a temporary Hospital should be establiahed at once for Cholera patients..
