And after all this hurry, to be kept wait, hour after hour, is sufficient to exhaust the tithce of the most Johlike among men.

The situation would not be so ex- Imely vexatious, were it uotthat we are doomed be bored intolerably by the ringing of the bell, ~(fthe various classes of merchants which infest e wharves of our larger cities. Such were the • Mg circumstances attending - the steamboat tra' ellet. write wets, for thanks be to enterprise and ompetition, we are enabled now to come within hour'of the time, now-adaya. The improve ent is great; but not so great that it may not be It was in the spring of 1835, and in that most leastuit of Spring's months - -the month of May— hat Harry Harcout took passage on a steamboat t Cincinnati for Pittsburgh. On coming to the oat, he found an old acquaintance among the •assengers. The hour of departure was come and used, and still theplanks were unmoved. Taking 't for granted that the boat would leave sometime, or young friends satthemselves down as comfort as they could on the gang way of the boat, acing the city. Here they gave themselves up to study of human nature. While thus endeavor ng to pass the time, Flarcont's attention was at acted by the appearance : ot a lady coming on .oard the boat: There is a confounded pretty girl, Denver,;' he •bserved to hiscompamon, as the lady in question tepped . gracefully and , quickly along the gang way '4:verde - the passage leading into the gentleman's " Yes, she is quite passably so," responded his .mpanion; as he gave a casual glance at the ap proaching lady. After spending an boor or two watching the I busy throng, and passing a few animadversions • ..pen the imprudent Captain,-.they separated.— : eery to secure a berth, and Danver to walk upon he deck. When our hero applied to the - clerk, he found but one berth vacant; and that his roommate, if he took this berth, would be "Mr. Franklin Orton: , But who was Mr. Orton ? As an answer to this question, he was pointed to 'a slightly framed,pale and sickly looking young gentleman, who was sitting in the ladies' cabin, and conversing with the lady whose beauty had so much attracted his attention. Without hesitation he took the berth, and commenced sauntering along 018 gentlemens 'saloon: Presentli Mr. arton, rising fromhis seat, pro ceeded to his room. Harcourt continued passing carelessly fora and aft the saloon, casting an ince -sional furtive glance at Kate Orton. This was not %unobserved. There is nothing more difficult in the -, ~.liriaTilste4ling, perhaps, than to steal a view of a [ pre4y girl's face ; detection is certain ; and so it was in the present instance. Kate Orton perceived that she was admired by the handsome stranger ; .and it washy no means unpleasant to her. Vanity is the innocent foible of pretty women ; and I do • _ . not consider that I in. the leastdisparage my hero ine, when I say she was vain of her beauty, and was pleased when it was noticed. While Alias Orton and Harry Harcout are en 'gaged : stealingglances at each other, I will relate to yoti, reader, something 'of their history. At least so much of it as will prepare you for listening to my story. Catharine. Orton, or as she preferred, 'tate Orton, was an only daughter. Her father, James Orton, resided in a veryneat and quiet little city of the State of Ohio, and situated on the bank of • the river. Kate was a family idol, and the belle of her nativeplace. She was, at the time of which I write, on her return from the South, where she had been spending the winter with her brother 'Prank. This trip served to increase her health and 'beauty, although of no advantage to her con • imaiptitre brother. Kate was now seventeen, and possessed of all the attractions of a womanly-like girl. She was lieautiful and dignified. This every one admitted ; even those who were jealous said—" she is pretty." t Her heed, her neck, her chip, her cheeks, her nose, I"kan-eyes, her „brows, her mouth, her teeth, her , fore head, her hair, her hands, and her general appear ance and expression, yes '1 even her frown or laugh :were made the subjects of repeated criticism. This might be exPected, for she was pointed out as the 1, ornament of the:circle in which she moved ; but ' the most discriminating in such matters failed in showing wherein either could be bettered. Kate Orton was a child of nature. Her mind was un trammelled by the dogmas of the schools; yet she was by no means ignorant;nor was she opposed to acquiring information. She desired to pursue her own way; -however, in this, as well as in other = things; and the result was, her mental improve meat WaS more of the ornamental than of the use ful kind:. They were just such acquirements as were iteeded ta fit her for_ filling the station in so ciety ,allotted to . by nature. At home her will was, law. No one thought of disputing Kate's plane: Thus she was humored, anti acquired,' in being thus favored, something like queenly ideas, , as we, will see hereafter, produced some trouble, to her indulgent father. • I would attempt a description of my heroine's beauty, but I feel sensible, that such an . attempt would prove a:failure. But I must say:her hair • was ofa dark chestnut color, slightly waving; her akin, if faulty in, any particular, it was.too trans -parent,; her foreherui was of an intellectual. height.; her broWs black, and beautifully arched, her eyes were dark gray, large and sparkling ; her noes, ,mouth and chinwere suckles Powers would fancy, were;be atamt to produce another "Greek Slave;" . her cheeks were moderately full; and merely ting ed with carnation ; her perFon "wtukfalb round-and voluptuous; in height_she was butslightl stove the ordinary standard. . : In a Wand; 'Kate Orton, the heroine of my story, was perfect in symmetry ; intellectual in physiognomy ; and could display a most bewitching smile; or a most forbidding frown. such was Kate Orton, vk hose beauty had so much excited Harry Harcout's admiration.. But who is Harry Harcout i I will tell you reader. He J was an orphan= 'not a poor orphan, but a very wealthy one ; for I must tell the truth, even If it should deprive my story of itsiomance. Henry Harcout was the son of an Englishman, who boasted of having some - of the royal blood in his - veins. Be this as it may } be_ was a nobleman of the proper kind. In coming `to ;this country he settled in Lancaster county, Pa., and married-a sister of Jacob Van Eisley. Shortly after .our hero's birth, his mother died.. At her death he was taken by his aunt Van Risley.— When Henry was eight years old, his father was taken from him. ..Thus our hero was left sole heir to one of the finest estates in Eastern Pennsylva• nia. -His uncle was requested by his dying father to superintend his affairs, and give him a good classical and legal education. When twelve years old, Henry was sent to College, anevery shortly after his uncle removed to Ohio, and settled on the Ohip river, near W--. Having completed his classical and legal studies, and having- reached his majority, Henry Harcout set out, via New Orleans, to his uncle's, and is now on his way thither.

The Latest News, Haricot Reports Le., will be found under Telegraphic Head. 01 , 1glaal Tale. We commence, in this day's caper, the publica. tion of an ORIGINAL TALE, written expresaly for this paper, by our popular correspondent, " Marti. mar." We can assure our readers that it is "an ower true tale," and we are- confident that it will be read with interest from beginning to end. Jacobtaism.Agrartantem. These epithets have been constantly applied to the Democracy, or friends of human progress, in this country, by the Tory or Federal Party, since the organization of our government. Every man who asserts the heaven-born , truth that "all men are born free and equal is stigmatised as a "Jaco bin," and is regarded as a dangerous and bad man in society. But such ridiculous slang never has, and never will, discourage the friends of human liberty. The old Toriesof the Revolution,who be lieved- in the "right divine of Kings," were accus tomed to abuse and vilify the apostleof Democracy, Thames JETITaI sox, as a "Jacobin,' and tried to frighten elderly lidies with the story that he would "burn the Bible!" and "uproot society!" But un• der the administration of that great man, the coon- -try prospered, and republican institutions were firmly established throughout its length and breadth. Man is a progressive being; and the arts and sciences, politics, literature, every thing, progress with him. The printing press, the steam en gine, the magnetic telegraph, all prove the intel ligence and progressive spirit of man. Franklin was a great statesman and a wise philosopher.— He drew the lighting from the clouds by the string of a kite; but it was left to professor Morse to employ the stu_ne agent to despatch thought around the world on a wire! Franklin was an "ultra," and so r was professor Morse; that is, they advanced beyond these who preceded them. The tendency of Democracy is to elevate, en lighten and refine mankind. Its progress is ever upward and onward. The mere success of an dividual or a party is of but little account with it. Democracy is the friend out universal Education as the best means of abolishing crime, and making mankind happy, intelligent and free. Democracy is opposed to every species of tyrany over the mind of man. It is opposed to white slavery as well as black slavery. It is opposed to excessive and unnatural hours of toil, and every scheme which robs labor of its just reward. Democracy is opposed to all privileged classes in society; and denies the right of passing laws for the exclusive benefit and protection of one interest, to the neg lect and injury of other great interests equally as meritorious. Your , stand-still "conservative," may consider these ideas as "ultra," and denounce those who entertain them as "Jacobins" and%Agrarians;" but this is to be expected. Every Reformer who has lived since the world began, has been denoun ced by the selfish, the bigoted and the ignorant Let them therefore not despair. Ignorance and super. 'titian, arrogance and tyranny have had their day. The schoolmaster and the printing press are now the laver! that move the moral world. The im mortal Mind cannot be held in the claims of slave ry by the conservatives or anti-progressives of the day. God created man in his own image, and en: dorsed him with an immortal mind, which will ad. vance and expand until it becomes perfect as its great Author is perfect. Progress of the Ruin. We conceive it to be our duty to keep our readers advised of the €, Ruin ), which the Tariff of 1846 is entailing upon the country. Here is another item of testimony from the Wheeling Gazette (a Whig paper) of the 23d last : TEM Nr,w Romano AULL—The new Rolling 'Mill of Norton, Bailey & Co., is progressing. The immense foundation is nearly all laid, most of the carpenter work and some machinery done. It is ex pected to be ready for operations as early as Septem her next, and will create a large business in that section of the city. The proprietors of the Rolling Mill alluded to as in progress of erection, are young gentlemen who are well known in this city, where they have long resided, and earned for themselves the reputation of being industrious, intelligent and active business men. They arc all practical workmen, and are .therefore fully capable of knowing the profits which are earned at present by those who are engaged in the Iron business. We wish they may meet with abundant success. INVENTION FOR COTTON Manurscatiacas.--The Providence (R. I.) Journal mentions a very useful machine recently invented and patented by J. & H. Higgins, of East Greenwich, which time the surface -otcottlin cloth of the threads or parts usually re moved by the hand, and which smooths the cloth while it thoroughlyperforms its office. It is a silt. ple power machine, tended by a boy, and does the work of mien or eight bands, and costs but $lOO. Successful usein several large establishments is the bait prooforlut excellence. We see by °the St. Louis papers that the steamer Prairie State, made the run from Salnt Lou is to Alton in 2 inatint 10 minutes; to the mouth of Illinois river in 4 hours 6 minutes; to Peoria 17 hours and 50 minutes; to Peru 22 hours 30 minutes. GEM TAYLOR'S GUILLOTINE, _ FARMED AT WASHINGTON; To Cut Off the Haub of Dem4rats. 0:7 4 4 have no friends to reward, noenemies to Punish."—Zarhary Taylor. o:l“*Geileral Taylor hales, loathes, proscription." —Mr. Crittenden. Proscription by tbp rtylor Administra- For our part we never had confidence in the pledges made so solemnly by the Whigs, previous t o the election, that office-holders should not be proscribed for opinion'i sake. We know too much of Whiggery to be deceived in such a matter. We saw too many men at work for Taylor during the canvass, whose sole object was office—nothing but office. For the administratioa to refuse to give places to its friends, would be the destruction of the party. We did not believe Gen. Taylor, or his advisers, would agree to bring such a calamity upon Themselves. But we must confess we had no idea the Whig guillotine would work so swiftly—that the Demo cratic heads would fall so fast as they have done. The most popular and unexceptionable officers have been removed to make room for the partizans o f the new power at Washington. In making re movals, neither age, qualifications, nor condition have been spared. We are - sure that in filling va cancies, no great regard is paid to honesty or ca pability. We take it, therefore, that Gen. Taylor has vio lated the most solemn pledge he gave to the peo ple previous to his election. The presses in his interest are defending pro. scription. The National Intelligencer, a few days ago, had a five column leader in advocacy of the right and duty of the President to remove all the Democrats, and appoint in their places his own friends. Under other circumstances this might do very well. But whet becomes of the pledge ? What apology has the Intelligencer to make to the thousands of voters who supported Gen. Tay lor in the belief that he was to be the President of the people and not of a party ?" ' This is the question. It is argued that former Presidents made remo vals and rewarded partizans. But did former Pre sidents give pledges that they would not make re movals t The precedents referred to can avail the Administration nothing. Proscription may be cor rect in principle, but the Whigs should have dis covered it before the election. But it is not true that " former Presidents" are chargeable with the extreme proscription which has been preached during the two months the whig "no party" has been in power. Upon this subject we quote from the Union : " When Mains and Clay turned over the government to Gen. Jackson in k 829, there were only fifty-six democrats to two hundred and forty whigs in office here in Washing ton. The democratic party continued in power for twelve consecutive years; and yet, when General Harrison was inaugurated, there were more Whigs than Democrats holding office in the departments here: The aggregate amount of the salaries re ceived by these whig office-holders exceeded the aggregate amount received by the Democrats at thst time (1841) by the sum of $44,613. This excess was increased by two months and five days of whig proscription to $114,313! It is useless to comment upon these facts for they plainly prove that the whig party, and not the democratic, have given vitality to the doctrine of proscription. We publish below a statement taken from official doc uments, which shows the removal of some of the higher classes of bfficers during the period from the election of Gen. Jackson to that of Gen. Harri son, and during the first five months of whig rule in 1841. This statement shows that a whig Ad ministration removed, in the snort space of five months, more persons from the offices enumerated than have been removed by democratic ndministra. lions in twelve years: Remoralsof some of the higher rksses of officers During twelve During only years before five months 4th of March, after 4th of 1841.

Bat a few days ago we published a list of offices in and about the cap itol of Virginia, which proves that about two-thirds of them are filled by . whigs. Yet Virginia is one of the staunchest Democratic States in the Union. For many years we knew that this disparity ex isted ; nevertheless, we never endeavored to have whigs driven from office to make room for our po litical friends. On the contrary, our Democratic friends in Virginia know that we have repeatedly, and in caucus assembled for the purpose of consul tation. protested against the -doctrine. Since we have been in Washington, we have been consistent in keeping our skirts clear. But we do not mean on this occasion to be led off ibto a personal dia. cussion. In a day or two we will notice that por tion of the remarks of the Intelligencer which re fers to ourselves." VIET!!!! We take the following eloquent extract from a review of Bulwer's Athens, in Blackwood's Maga- " Nowhere else is to be found a state so small in its origin, and yet so great in its progress ; so contacted in its territory,, and 'yet so gigantic in its achievements : so limited in nUmbers, and yet so immortal in genius. Its dominions on the con tinent of Greece did not exceed an English county; its free inhabitants never amounted to thirty thou• sand citizens, yet these inconsiderable numbers have filled the world with their renown ; poetry, philosophy, architecture, sculpture, tragedy, geom etry, physics, history, politics, almost date their origin from Athenian genius; and the monuments of art with which they have overspread the world still. form the standard of taste in every civilized nation on earth."

The Finance Committee would respectfully report to Councils: That in their meeting they agreed to recommend to Councils the passage of an Ordinance to make our floating Scrip, bear interest from the eighteenth instant, at the rate of six per cent per annum, and the same to be settled when paid,in dues tothe city. We offer this merely to satisfy the public, as we believe In a very abort time it must be par without the addition of interest, as the large amount, of Taxes and tevenuo which will be in a short time demanded from the citizens, by Collec tors, will nearly absorb all the Pittsburgh City Scrip in circulation. Below is a statement of the probable Revenue of the city betvveen this and Fall, by-which statement it will be seen that the sum is beyond the amount of Scrip now in circulation. We also offer in the Of dinance a clause to empOwer the Finance Commit tee to hypothecate any stocks belonging to the city, or use any other funds available as they may see proper to meet necessary expenses of the city gov ernment, and to pay the interest on the city debt. • City taxes, $50,000 Water do 30 , 060 Business taxes 4,000 ,Monongahela and Allegheny . wharf 20,000 Markets, stalls, hay scales, interest on gas StOCkg, &C., &c. 20,000 Bonds due for property sold, which' will be sold for Scrip 28,000 Old basin lot, (probably,) 40,000 Aqueduct, 13,000 School .and poor, taxes which will likely be paid in Scrip, 35 1 0013 It is believed that the above amount. will take all the Scrip that may be offered to the Treasurer for redemption.

There was a good deal of discussion upon the passage of the Ordinance, particularly as, to wheth er the Gas stock should be sold or hyptithecated. The following is the Ordinance which was laid over on third reading, by a single negative vote : AN ORDINANCE For the Payment of the Interest on City Scrip' Wherea t Some•Purther action is deemed necessa ry for the purpose of guarding the holders of small sums of city of Pittsburgh Scrip from low copse • quent upon its having.ceased to circulate generally as a medium of exchange, and who are unable to deprive themselves of the use of such amounts as are now required, in order that it may be Convert'. ble into bond, under the Ordinance of 18th of April Inst. ; and as a largo amount of Scrip now in the hands of the community may be held for an indefi. site period, if assured of its ultimate payment, to gether with the interest thereon ; therefore, SEC. 1. Be it Ordained and Enacted by the Oft. :ens of Pittsburgh, in Select and Common Council assembled : That from and after the 18th of April 1849, an interest of six per cent per annum shall be paid on all issues of the city of Pittsburgh, of the denomination of one, two and three dollars, which interest shall be allowed at any time hereafter, on the payment of any taxes or debts due the city, and the surrender of said certificates ; and it shall be the duty of all city collectors to furnish vouchers to the city Treasurer for all amounts of interest allow ed by him on Scrip.

The following are the Res°!oboes adopted at the meeting held in the Board of Trade Room on Mon day Evening.

EDITOR :•7 :.That curiosity; of literature and liberality which,was sent to:Harrisburgli,' signed, by Dr. Smyser, Colonel_ltobiatioa, GenerafDennYvM! , ler John Willoci, - and a few other inibobs,tis quite a god-send to the friends of the High School. No one was surpriseethat'sitch a document should emenate from Dr. Smysei or Gen. Harmar Denny; but that Col.ltobirison, s citizen-.of Allegheny, should med dle with what does not concera'hin, strikes common people as a transgression meriting a rebuke. Truly,• he is a mine of modesty, that Col. 7Willirtin Robin son, Jr. Now, Mr. Editor, I have no wish to waste Word's on the precious petition of the learned Dr. Smyser, but I want to says few words about the High School. I am a friend of popular education, and Jet have to be convinced that the necessities of the public, mend such an institution of learning as that propos ed. Let my jadgment be satisfied that it is needed, and no man will !pi farther to assist in the measure than your bumble correspondent. In the 'first place, I should like to know what is the contemplated course of studies in the High School; and whether it would not be economy to elevate the latter rather than be trying new experi ments t Ae a workingman I have no desire to tax Dr. Smyser and coMpany with aHigh School unless public policy calls For . it; and then it is no act of charity, but , a mecessary . adjunct to . 11 system which has been sanctioned by the liberal and enlightened everywhere. And•again, it would afforttme relief to know what the High School will cost; for though., not blessed with an over-abundance of this worlds riches, I would be unwilling to part with my mite, unless it went to do good. In .a time of difficulties in the currency, and high taxes, no project, however laudable the motive may be, should , be encouraged, unless there is an absolute certainty`of its provint a benefit to community. The rising generation is the hope of the republic, and I go heartily for whatever will elevate and improve them, and make them bet ter citizens and patriots than their fathers. There are several kinds of education, Mr. Editor. Doctor Smyser is undoubtedly profound in the dead lan guages, but I am mistaken if he is not deficient in the rpirit that quickeneth the liberal sentiments'of the soul. I should be sorry to do him, or Gen. Den ny, or Col. Robinson, or Major Willock, injustice, but I cannot get rid of the thought that their patri otism is a pocket patriotism ; that their heart* need: I schooling, and that their device of tacking Fox Af dents "Courts of Inn' , to the High School was done, to damn it. Bat I have transgressed on your patience, Mr. Ed itor, and if you will permit me to make a request I will wipe my pen and quit. Will some gentleman Who is acquainted with the project of the High School take the trouble to enlighten a few friends of education, among whom is your humble servant, on the subject, in all its bearings, and it is possible that as many converts will be made to it ai will neutral ize the votes of Smyser, Denny Sr. Company—l will not name Col.

After the curtain had - fallen, at the close of the third act, the audience awaited very patiently for some fifteen minutes, expecting one or more acts; but what was their surprise' at ob serving one of the attendants commence taking up the baize carpet on the stage, preparatory to the farce. The audience, then, for the first time, un derstood that the first play was concluded; instant ly there arose a loud cry of Macready I Macrea dy I" which was continued until Mr. Ryder appear. ed before the foot-lights, and said : " Gentlemen and Ladies—Mr. Macready was prepared, i know, to address you, but there being no call made when the curtain fell, he was unwilling to intrude him , self upon you, and he has now left the theatre !" At this announcement the audience were very much surprised—not to say displeased—for there was a general expectsaisn that Mr. Macready, would address the audience; indeed, very many had attended the theatre that evening mainly for the purpose of hearing this much anticipated ad dress. The bills of the evening should have stated that but. three of the five acts would be played, and then the audience would have understood it. As it was, the tragedian's manner of taking leave of the Cincinnati public was a most ungracious one. bar - A new comet was seen by the naked eye, on Tuesday evening, at the Cambridge United States Observatory.
