The patriotic feeling of the_couutry is at * length aroused to the infamous tyranny with Which England continues to oppress the brave • Irish patriots, who.dared to struggle for the freedom of their country; and whose ardor in , the cause could only be subdued by the arms of aßoyal Regiment, presented at the breast of every devoted man. They were marched to pris on With all the ignominy and. insults that Kos- suth would have hod. to endure, had he been -caught in the same position; and they were tried and sentenced to death for the same of fense that had been committed by our “nation's ' guest.’’ The sentence to murder them was most graciously commuted to branding them as felons, and transporting them.forlife. The elo quent, the refined and liberty loving patriots, Slitehel, O’Bnen and Meagher,—men whose tai , ' eats,' education, and virtues, qualified them to adorn the highest position among the aristocra cy of the most exclusive government in Europe, are, for merely asserting a principle that the • humblest man who walks our streets has a con stitutional right to proolaim, are consigned to a fate more’humiliating than that of the most de graded convict who now occupies a cell In the Western Penitentiary. 'This has been done by the Government that received Kossuth with ft kias similar to that—to its sincerity—that Judas gave to his Lord and - Master when hehad received the thirty pieces -of silver to betray him. But if it has received -, ■ o corresponding reward to that of the great apostate, we do not believe that it will act with (he honest remorse of Judas, and go and hang tfttlf, It would much nether hang those whose free souls dare to murmur against its firmly fix ed tyranny. By the visit of Kossuth and his suite, our eyes have been opened to the tyranny of Austria and Russia. We have learned in detail wKaiwe have long bofbrejmawn by well authenticated reports, > the inordinate desire of these governments to grasp overshadowing and despotic power. Bat in the'fervor of our indignation against them, we have forgotten the cunning diplomacy of the arch mistress of tyranny in the old world, and the power that guards the destiny of despotism and crushes the hopes of Republicanism in Europe. England is the watchful guardian of them all; and until her power is crushed, we fear no material aid, rendered by us, will secure to her "neighbors the inestimable liberties that our heroic fore-fathers wrung from her In the war of the Revolution. : That long and painful struggle taught them that the American patriots held as their motto — •• v l ?Hereditary bond-unau. jsnuvv you r.m, • Who would be Tree himteli. muit mike the blow." /She same was the motto of the Irish patriots) and they followed it to the very letter of the text, but they failed and were condemned to the .'.scaffold. ■ :ffh?y are now, as we have said before, in igno miaous bondage- Suffering the tyranny of a nation as oppressed as that which would hare -T struck ■Jjff -the head of* Kossuth if he had not • escaped to a friendly infidel country which had protected him against the wiles of his ruthless enemy, until he arrived upon our hospitable shores. Then, why, ran we not make a struggle for those 4)f ‘lreland as well as those of other - countries f Our glorious Constitution makes no : distinction-in clime or creed. It is sufficient for ■us to know that they -are republican In the true sense of the word, and our hearts are open to ' i them—our hands are ready and willing to defend them, and oar means are cheerfully offered to succor them. •: Therefore, considering the motto in this light, will not some-effort be made in oar city to give “material-aid” to th ose who have so long borne the galling chains of slavery that have fastened upon them by the tyranny of England for daring to strike a blow for the disenthralment of their countrymen ? We are: confident that an affirma tive response will be made to the question, and that a demand for the immediate liberation of Mitchell, O'Brien and Meagher, will be the bur den of the next popular excitement. British Subjects Condemned by an Aus trian Court Martial. The correspondent of the London Morning - Chronicle/ writing from Rome under date Deo. 26, communicates the sentence passed on three brothers, Henry, Charles and Edward Strotford, sons of the late Lord Aldborongh, by an Aus ' trian Military Court at Leghorn . The parties ' were members of. a secret democratic society, ■ organized, as isalleged, with anew to overthrow the monarchical government of the Qrand Duchy of Toscany. Henry and Edward were sentenc ed to death by hanging, for participation in the crime of conspiracy, and conoealment of pro hibited arms; Charles, for participation in the printing of revolutionary papers, was sentenced to one years’ imprisonment in irons. Marshal Badetzky hadcotnmuted the sentenoo of Henry to ten years' imprisonment r that -of Edward to six years ixsjpisonment; and sst Charieß at lib erty. The severity of this treatment in the eases of Heary and Edward, had caused some sen sation at Xegkom, but it does not appear that the British Government has interferred in. their behalf ■ - A sadden and startling death occurred „ on the 29ta ult, in Dr. Beecher’s Church, at Brooklyn, S. Y., where Bev. Mr. Eggleston was lecturing on the Pilgrim Fathers. Bev T.

By refemug to the last annual report, you will find, nt that date, upon the register, the names of 305 members, including 10 hfo members.— Daring the year, 181 new members have been added, aud lost by resignation 72, leaving us, notwithstanding this heavy loss, the handsome gain of 109, making the number of member* at tUiB time 414, including 10 life members The promptness with which a large number of fast and zealous members of the Institute, res ponded to the recommendation thrown out in the report of the Board of Directors Inst year, indi cates clearly the gratifying faot, that this Assos elation in not to be evanescent m its character, but to acquire strength and stability from year to year. If this spirit thus manifested iu behali of our organization, oan be kept awako, if the energy and industry displayed at the commence ment of the vear, oan be kepi alive and active, the number ot our members will continue to augment, aud the future prosperity of the Insti tute be placed beyond doubt. Tho resignation annually, of a largo number of members, very naturally give* rise to th© question—Why is this the case ? what is the cause ? U certainly is not because the object in view is reached, or is unworthy the pursuit of rational minds : this has not, and never will be alleged whilst there re mains a mind, the powers of which needs and requires its proper aliment. The reasons generally assigned by those who reUuquißh their membership, runs thus—“ I seldom if ever vißit your rooms, I have more books than l read, and consequently, do not need any from your library; I subscribe for a number of newspapers, and therefore do not require the use of yours." Do these gentlemen remember, think you, that this large city numbers us thou sands who are not eo well furnished, and must, yes are obliged to look to such &n institution as ours, for what these well to do citizens have at their homes. Now, such reasons—if they are worthy tho appellation—though they may not appear so, are nevertheless strongly tinctured with selfishness, and if universally acted out, would dry up the fountains of bencvolenoe, and close the doors not only of publio libraries, but of all institutions having in view publio, in place of private good. We ask you, and put the same question to those who have left our compa ny, is it a valid dr even plauaabte reason, why .any person who has tho means, should decline contributing to the erection or support of a Hos pital or House of Refugo, because they do not expect to become inmates of it themselves ? If so, then may our young men, and old ones too, decline giving aid or countenance to the Mercan tile Library and Mechanics* Institute. You will, and the public must pardon us—if pardon be needed—for speaking so plainly upon this subject, it is one in which we have a common and deep-interest, knowing that the annual sub scriptions of the membership is the life blood of the Association, its capital, strength, and motive power, without which tho machinery must cease to move. We call upon you, fellow members, to stand by the Institute, co-operating with the Board of Directors, you may choose this even ing, and present again and again, not only to the young men, but to our citizens of every ago, the just nod well grounded claims of the Institute to their favor, and we cannot doubt but that sue cess will follow the effort. The Library Committee reported in their last annual statement the number of 1477 volumes in the Library, duriug the past year 328 volume* have been added by purchase, and 20 by the binding of periodicals. We are also indebted to the Hon. Moses Hampton, for 10 volumes of valuable public documents; to Oapt. John Her ron, for 30 volumes, 16 of which, are lectures on metaphysics, natural philosophy, logic, and history of philosophy in manuscript; to J A. Forsyth, Sr., R. Dickey, G Holtzman, J B. Holmes, 1 volume each, and to Dr. H. D. Seilers for 7 volumes of National Gazette and Intelli gencer, bound, in all 88 volumes by donation; making the number of volumes upon our shelves at this date 1891. This addition to our Library may nai bo con sidered large, vet tbe some annual increase for ten years, allowing, which wo do not grant, tre should not ho able to do more, would giro us at the expiration of that time a Library of 6817 volumes- The most magnificent and costly edi fices are built by placing a brick ut a time upon the walls, and the most valuable and extensive Libraries of which our country can boast, have been farmed by tbe addition of book after book: Qud this should encourage ua, apt to despise the day of small things, not to weary ia well doing. Wo have permitted ourselves to indulge the hope, that our enterprise would commend itself to the favorable notice ot some of our wealthy citizens in other plodeis to whose rounifi icnce many pubbe Libraries owe not only their exis tence, but their prosperity In this, however, up to this period, we have been disappointed, but as “ faith is the evidence of things not seen, and the subatauco of things hoped for,” we do not deßpair of its realization at some, though it may be a distant day. It is a fact, that public Libraries cannot prosper, we mean, be of rapid growth, without the aid of the wealthy, and no less a faot, that, they should yield such aid, bat if they cannot see tho propriety or utility of up holding and pushing forward an institution so competent to do good m their midst, wo must, as wo have heretofore done, appeal to those of limited means and Large views, to stand by their offspring. Books, however, numerous and valuable, aud however great may have been the care and judge ment used in their selection, can import no last ing benefit to their possessors, unless tho con tents are read aud treasured up in tho mind. In order to ascertain the use made of the books, we have examined the Libranoua Register, for that purpose, and find that m 1840, 1792 volumes, in 1860, 2572 volumes, and in the year just termi nated, 4372 volumes, have been taken from the Library. It is in the reading of the books, there by gathering up new ideas, and the acquisition of important and useful knowledge, that we should find sufficient encouragement to stimulate us, to persevere iu our efforts to contribute to the moral and intellectual character of our city.

Leotures of a-popular and scientific oharao* ter have formed a feature in the operations of similar institutions, in all parts of the country, and have been found, when' delivered by persons of undoubted ability, the meahfl of replenishing their treasuries, and of contributing to.the men tal enjoyment of those attending them. t The Board of Directors, anxious to profit*by "the. ex* penence of others, at the solicitation of a large number of members, and, in accordance with tteir own viewa, corresponded, early in the year, with' Mr. B. W. Emerson, of Massachusetts, and effected an engagement with Him to deliver course of six lectures. The coarse was: highly successful; the - audience in attendance upon, each lecture was large, and embraced a good portion of the beauty,, and intelligence of cur ciiy, and aided our finances very materially. Wheu your partiality placed as m offise, we found an onoambrunce of about $9OO of debt, banging over our heads, which conldnot bo met, according to the report of the Treasurer, with out an addition by some means, to tbe current receipts or the year. An appeal was made to you, on behalf oT the Treasury, and it was not made in vain. Member after member was added to our list by your antinng Industry, and our financial wants were supplied. And, but for an appropriation to the Library Committee for the purchase of books, we should bo able to report an entire freedom from debt. Our indebtedness, at this time, amounts to the sum of $289. To provide at once for the liquidation of this debt, and to secure an additional Bum to be expended in the purchase of books, we propose to join you in an effort to obtain at least one hundred new members. If we wish to prosper, If this Institute is to be worthy of its chartered name, find of tho city in which it ib iooated, every member must, or should manifest his attachment to it, by vigor ous efforts to promote its well being. The Ini tiatory step has been taken in this matter, and os honorable men, pledged to a noble cause, we cannot recede or stand still. Pittsburgh must have a public library worthy of her, and the rank she holds amongst tho cities of the land.— For the Bmall sum of four dollar i per annum, we offer as an inducement to our citizens to lend a helping hand, the use of, say 2000 volumes, 24 newspapers, and 21 magazines—a sum for which they cannot obtain a single doily newsyaper pub lished beyond tbe limits of Allegheny county. Having exerted ourselves to promote tbe wel fare of the Mercantile Library and Mechanics’ Institute, wo return to you the trust committed to our care, sincerely hoping that you may se cure the services of a more efficient Board for the ensuing year. R. E. SELLERS, President, Foj ike Morning Po*t. Ancient and Modern Knowledge Con- trut«d> The diversity of opinion on this subject has been each as to produce many warm disputes among the learned. Numerous discoveries and inventions which were claimed by the enlighten ed ninetceth century, on examination have been found to belong to tho Antediluvians With all oar boasted progress in cmliiation, we are, as yet, inferior to the Egyptians. Oar greatest masters cannot ornament their paintings with unfading colors, cu they could ; neither do the works of our must skilful sculptors, surpass theirs in beamy of expression and execution They hare executed works so vast, so tremen dous, that the mind is at once impressed with awe and astonishment ou viewing them Tbe Lake of Moeris, the Labyrinth, and Pyramids, are examples of this The ruins of their great cities exhibit the ex treme magnificence with which they were ballt- Thc crumbling remains of architecture, temples, statutes, Ac . evince their taste and skill. They would stain gloca without diminishing Da trans parency, were learned in mathematics, and all binds of literature; but with ail their learning, we nod them foolishly preserving the doad bodies of inferior animals with the most sacred respect, - in fact, idolaters. Arehimodos invented many philosophical machines, among which were the powerful engines of war. with which be defend ed the city of Syracuse against the Romans.— He burned their fleet by means of small bamiDg glasses ingeuioosly constrnctcd on moveable hinges. Singly, and alone; be launched a large ship, and the vastness of hia conceptions prompt ed him to say, ** Give me where to stand and l will move tho world.” After a lapse of two thousand years, it is as tonishing that Euclid is still the standard Geo meter. His ** Elements of Geometry” is yet the best book of tho kind in uso. Turn from Olden tiron. and view Modern pro gress The Moderns Have improved the most important of the ancient inventions, while at the same time, they have made such brilliant dis coveries iu science and art, os throw the Ancient world in tbo eh&da* Take an illustration from Chemistry ; it is sufficient only to name it: the decomposition of the Alkalies. This suggests a thought of the powerful agent by which it was effected r because this, too Modem Chemistry may proudly rank among her laurels. Although the Modems cannot compare thoir paintings with those of the Ancient Egyptians, in point of per manent beauty, yet they have introduced valua ble improvements,- among whloh is crosß-etoh ing. And they arc gradually ascending tbo scale which separates them in this art, as well os in Sculpture. If the Ancients can boast of stupen dous works, so can the Moderns ; but with this difference—the Moderns, though not so hugo in dimensions, were greater in usefulness. Al though they could stain glass without diminish ing its transparency, and although this implies on advanced state of Chemistry, yet have the Moderns more than counterbalanced this, by their many and lofty achievements in the same science. And the same may be said with regard to other kinds of Literature. To compare with Arohimedes, Modern times can produce Newton, Pascal, and HerscheL Look forward almost to vast Eternity, and hear the comments of the last ages of the Earth. Then, it mußt be aeon that the Moderns improved immeasurably more, in far leas time than the Ancients. But again, the Moderns combined all the advan tages of the Ancients, with their own, and this accounts for the disparity. And the gradual improvement of man from a condition little above that of the brute, to the most refined state of civilization and knowledge, mast be attributed to the combined efforts of both the Ancient and Modern learned, assisted by Omni potence. ' A. M. Timk by Telegraph. —A beautiful experiment we saw tried successfully, in the office of the Morse Telegraph line in this city yesterday.— The ticking of the clock in the office at N. York was heard and seen, distinctly here. The regu lar vibrations of the pendulum in New York, were registered on the paper, at precise inter-* vals, and heard by the striking of the pen-lever at the same instant. One of the wires is con nected by a very fine wire to the pendulum of the clock, partaking of its motion. The other is fastened to the side of tho clock, the pendu lum striking it, when swinging. The two wires being brought together, a circuit is formed, the stroke of the pendulum making a dot upon the paper, whenever it strikes the wire at the side of the clock, and the ticking of the clock in New York is heard more distinctly here than where it is in motion. Last evening tho experiment was tried successfully between Bangor, Me., and Milwaukee, Wis., by connecting the wires of Morse’s and Speed’s Lines at this point and pro ceeding as above mentioned. The distanoe is between 2000 and 3000 miles.— Buffalo Courier, Jan. 21. tfip* Mr. Sohooler, the able and well-inform ed editor of the Boston Atlas,.is in Washington; and after noticing the debate on the compromise measures which sprang up in the'House on the election of Speaker, Mr. 8. remarks: “Ihave been for many years an annual -visitor to ington. I have. watched with a great deal or care progress of the slavery issue, and X am convinced that both in the North and South it is used as a mere demagogue ory, by men to get elected -to office.

A letter from Paris, in the Boston Trans crept% in noticing the fact that the recent coup d'etat was made in December last, remarks. li is rather remarkable that the principal eveuts in the Booapartist family have all occurred in the month of December. On the first Decem ber, 1807, Jerome Bonaparte was made King of Westphalia. On the 2d December, 1800. tho battle of Austerlitx was fought On tbe 2d De cember, 1804, the Emperor was crowned by Pope Pins VII. On the 2d December, 1861, tho coup d'etat of Louis Napoleon. Upon the 4th Decem ber, 1809, the Emperor entered Madrid as a con queror. Upon tbe 10th December, 1848, Louis Napoleon was elected President of tho Republic Upon the 13th December, T 799, the first Consul was elected. Upon the 14th December, the ashes of the Emperor were received at the Invalidcß. Oo the 16lh of December, 1809, the dissolution of the marriage with Josephine Upon the 18th of December, 1812, tbe Emperor returned from Moscow Upon the 19th December, 1792, Toulon was captured, and the lieutenant of artillery opened his career Upon the 20th December, 1861. the people voted on tbe plebiscite proposed by President. Upon ihe 24th December, 1800, Napoleon escaped the infernal machine of O&doudal. Ds.uu or Da. Doaat*. — It Lh our painful duty to announce that Dr. A. S. Do&ne, health officer of this port, died this mepoiag at half past six. About a week ago he had occasion in his official capacity to visit on emigrant ship, the Great Western, which had arrived at Quarantine with some 800 passengers. He was exhausted by long fasting and fatigue when he went on board, und did not leave until ho had directed the re moval of about 140 emigrants who were infected, with ship fever. He spent over two hqura be tween decks, in discharging this dangerous do ty, and on the following day was taken seriously ill. He has been steadily growing worse ever since, with a malignant form of typhoid fever. Dr. Doans enjoyed tho confidence and regard of a very Urge circle of friends, by whom his death will be deeply deplored, lie was about 42 years of F. Evening Post, Jan. 27.
