Mr. Eurrolz--You may recollect a story of a
good,couple, in New England, who hesitated long
what 'name they should give their first born, with.
out teing able to come to a decision. At last the
lady suggested an idea to open the Bible, and con
fer an him the first name_ which . should present
itself; and the story goes that there was a christ

with, the Celebrated Bishop Heber, and their ac
quaintance soon ripened into friettdship: At his
suggestion - she wrote her first dramatic work, the
'tragedy of "The Vespers of Palermo,'' which was
represented ,at Covent Garden' Theatre, in 1823,
but which was deservedly 'condemned: A review

IffiiPAn interesting article from the Rev. Wm. 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.—

P" A Chinaman, having been detected in cutting

sentenced to be,behended;

lecture in the Sixth Ward Public School House, on
Tuesday evening. It watt well attended. •
LOCAL MATTERS.
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.. We,think the Idea a
good one, though we have no feara that the'dreaded
plague is going to cause much necessity for such an
institution hero. It is beat, however, to be prepared
for the. worst.
ilk' We have heard of several lar4enies of' cloaks
and coats, within,a week past., They are going of

NATO . R, '
Have already become so un i versally popular, wherever
introduced, that the proprietors are Induced to place • -
them within the reach of all. Of the vittees of these
medicines, it is altogether unnecessary tor astir speak,
as they have always, wherever introduced, been able to
recommend themretves. The numerous certificates, which
from time to. time. have been published. besides others
now in our possession, is sufficient evidence, not only
of their virtue l'and power to cure, batthatney are -
duly appreciated by an intelligent public. , ' When the
country, is flooded with 't Panaceas," "Elixers," "Eat
same," and " Pills," and- many.: of them of a' doubtful
character, persons are. at a loss to know. how far they .
sh'ould trust any of, them: themciicand try those •
which have been proved by the espriiiinci of years. Such :•
is- the character of the medicines compounded by DT
Willard, an eminent practitioner, and sold by men Of •
character who have something more 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 certificates. Thus you may
be satisfied.that "their own works will praise"! them."
These medicines, prepared and sold by.the proprietor,
