Scott like n . pickpocket ■ We have seen nothing in the oppo . sition papers at all equal to it. This same paper is noarly filled up with Government advertise ments. All the Philadelphia Whig papors enjoy the Government patronage, while Pittsburgh and ' Western Pennsylvania is absolutely proscribed by the Government. We see long Government advertisements in papers published in out of the . way places, in States whioh vote the Democratic ticket, while this noted and indomitablo Whig district, and this city, one of the principal con tres of population in the Union, is passed by as of no consequence. Our fidelity to Whig princi pies has been tried and never been found waat ing, and in the day of necessity can always he relied upon; bnt because we cannot pronouuco -.theAdministration Shibboleth, and because we ohaose to bw our own oonecience keepers, and ■profess to understand Whig principles, and the . voice Of the masses of tho Whig party, as well as v '.those in power, we are placed under the ban of those who require a complete sacrifice of inde . pendence and servile obedience to central dicta tion. We should not have revetted to these dis . agreeable matters, hod our indignation not been - . aroused by: the scandalous assault upon General . Scott by an administration pet, in an article culling upon the Fillmore Whigs to rally to the . meeting to.bo held at the Chinese Museum, in Philadelphia, Jhis morning. . ■ This is a strange article to come from the edit or of theGazotte. There is no man in thiscom - munity who . would, heretofore, suppose for a .moment that his political preferences were <lic . ' tated. by any other feelings than those of the • .-.purest patriotism.

BSy’Tbe colored Methodists of Louißvil!e, Ky., have for some time past been seriously divided between the Church North and the Church South, the slave membere adhering to the latter, and the free colored persons to the former. The dis pute originated upon the possession of a new church which they had just built, and the whole matter, in the courso of the controversy, was thrown into Chancery. By a deoree of the court, the meeting-houso waß put for rent to the high est bidder. Both . factions wero in attendance, with their opposing counsel, in full forco, and the bidding for a time was spirited. The house was to be rented for a month, and the bidding ran up from $7 to $7OO per month, at which lat ter sum it was bid off to tho Southern faction, or slave members. The rent per year, at the sum bid, amounts to $8,400. Tire People’s Coheoe.— A Convention of Mechanics, wo learn from the Scientific American, will meet nt'Bochcster on the 20th inst.. to take measures for the establishment of a People’s College, to be entirely free from sectional influ ence. The object of the College is a complete and thorough education for the Bona and daugh ters of our workingmen—men of toil. It is de signed to make the College, in part, self-support ing, and to teach science and art in a true and profitable manner,' Engineering and machine making will bo taught, os far os practicable; but it is intended that practical mechanics, in combination with science, shall be thoroughly drilled into the Bludents. This will give it an ad vantage for real practical life over many Colleges in our land. Reduction of Face The Canal Commission ers have passed a resolution to reduce the fare on the Columbia railroad to two and a half cents per mile. Much credit is due to these gentle men, remarks the Philadelphia Ledger, for the judicious and liberal views which have prompted tho arrangement. The measure must be ex tremely popular, and cannot act injuriously to tho interests of the State. The effect of a mod erate reduction of charges, within reasonable limits, always is to increase the business. The Pennsylvania Railroad will, in conscquenco of this reduction, immediately lower the fare to Pittsburgh to $9 by boat, and $lO by stage. Tho charge from Philadelphia to Massillon will be $lO 50, and to Cleveland $ll. Tue Tarifp.—A correspondent or tho Balti more Snn ■writes from Washington nndor date of May : “The friends of tho tariff aro mus tering powerfully here in Washington, cspeoially from the State of Pennsylvania, with a view to a great spontaneous movement, in favor of ooal and iron on Monday next. Tlioro will be agood deal of outsEtSe pressure, or what will -appear as snch, daring tho remainder of tho week; but I doubt extremely whether the Houso will yield to it. Some of the Western members imagine that they havo not. been well treated by the friends of the tariff from Pennsylvania, and are now determined to make reprisals.” Cotton Factobibs. —We learn from thoßead ing Press that 290 of the 300 looms in theßcad ing.Cotton Footoiy are now in operation, turning out an average of six thousand yards of fine - muslin per day—or between forty and fifty thousand yards per week, in a few weeks more, every loom in the building will be in motion, when the daily manufacture will average at least 8000 yards.

It lies in the Atlantic ocean. Reik jarick is the capital of the Island. The distance rom Copenhagen to Iceland is thirteen hundred and fifty English miles in n direct line. Iceland was discovered in the year 860, by a company of Swedish and Norwegian pirates, who were wrecked on its coast. Emigrants did not find their way there until 874. " The Island was divided into four provinces, each of which was governed by a hereditary shor tff or judge. They had a general assembly which met once, a year on the shores of the lake of the Thingvallor. This union lasted for moro than three hundred years. Iceland had her bards and historians. The Edda of Samuud is one of the finest poemß of the earlier days of that country. Isleif, tho first bishop of Skalholt, was' the earliest historian of loeland, and was followed by Snorri Sturluson, born in 1178, who was the riohest and most in flnenttal person in the island. The first school was established at Skalholt, about the middla of the 11th century, by Isleif; but tho doctrines of Christianity wero introduced in the year 981, through Frederick, a Saxon bishop. Greonlandand the most northern part of Amer ica are stud to have been discovered by the Ice landers. Towards tho middle of the 13th century, Iceland came under the dominion of tho Norwegian Kings. In 1380 Norway was united to the.crown of Den mark, and Iceland was made over to that coon tty. - The first printing press was brought to Iloolum in 1530, under the .dircotion of Bishop John Are son. Tho reformed religion was established in the year 1551. A hand of Algerine pirates mado a descent up on tho island in 1627, and -after murdering near ly fifty of the inhabitants, carried off four hun dred of them into captivity. In the 18th century more than 16,000 of the inhabitants fell victims to that terrible disease, the smalt pox. A famine carried off 10,000 in the year 1759. There was a terrible volanic eruption in Ice land In tho year 1793, which destroyed cattle, sheep and horses, leaving famine and sickness in its train. A thick cloud of smoke and volcanic ashes hung over tho island for a wholo year, and nonriy obscured tho light of day. The people of Iceland are very distant, and cold towards strangers as their own cold climate. Persons of large fortune, or great naturalists, are the only travelers who have any chance of being well received there, tho laat beinggonerol ly Bent by some of the European courts. The bouses in Iceland are mostly of wood, one story high. Somc-of the houses have gardens attached to them, whete with extraordinary pains and exponse, potatoes, parsley, spinach, salad and soveral varieties of tnrnip are raised. The natives of Iceland are of medium height and strength, with light hair and bine eyes.— The men are generally ngly, and tho women ra ther less so. The peasants have a groat many children, few of whom survive the first year. There is not a carriage of any description in the island. Tho people ride on horseback, and every peasant ownsa horse. Soldiers are not needed in any part of Iceland, and in Reikjavick, its capital, there are hot two constables to bo found. Tho whole trade of tho island is in the hands of tho Danish merchants, who send their ships to Iceland every year. These ships bring every thing to the inhabitants; corn, wood, wines, co lonial and manufactured articles. There are no duties, trade being free; The return freight consists of fish, particularly cod-fish, roe, tallow, train-oil, wool, and salted or smoked lamb. From tho 16th or IBth of June till tho end of the month, there is no night in Iceland. Tho sun disappears for a short time behind the hills, but twilight and dawn are blended together, and tho last ray of evening have not faded from tho sky before the morning light breaks forth. Okegon.—A well-informed correspondent of tho New York Commercial Advertiser, writes from Salem, Oregon, under dato of March 18tb, os follows: “ This is a most magnificent country, and will, in tho course of a few years, ho tho garden of the United States. There ore some of the most en rapturing views to be seen here that ever feasted the eye of man. I have already explored all the old settled portions of it, but I have been told that Pugo’ts Sound, Umqua and Rogue river val leys will equal them for beauty, productiveness, and climate. The traveling here is mostlyon horsebaok, lmt it is bceaoso wo have no wagons in the country, nor can we getany made here. There is no conn try in tho world where better wagon roads can be had than in this, with its immense open prai ries and orchard-like oak groves.” German Emiguations feom Livbbi'Ool.—Du ring tho first three montiis of the present yean 39,058 emigrants sailed from I.iverpool for the United States, and during the same period last year, 41,683. The falling off would have been greater but for the increase in tho numbor of German emigrants, who in three months num bered 9,900, against .10,000 or 12,000 during tho whole of last'year. The. high rates of faro have prevented a still larger number sailing— tho prices ranging from £4 to £4 ss; and in Borne cases os high ns £4 10s per head, A large number of American vessels, over due were ex pected at Liverpool at laat accounts, when the rates would no doubt dooline. Runaway with her Daxcind Master.— The Philadelphia correspondent of tho Baltimore Times furnishes that paper with the following bit of gossip: A lady of tho “ upper ten ” in Chestnut street was found missing by her spouse this morning,’ under rather mysterious circumstances. Some short time since tho good man took it into his head that he ought to have her instructed iu some of the fashionable dances. She mado no serious objection—a professor was engaged—the lessons commenced. Her progress. Beerncd wonderful— the more she danced: the moro she loved dancing, and now hor husband looks upon it ns “a very strange thing,” that neither dancing master uor wifo is to he found. Larob Lash Claims. —Land claim business is getting to be quito active, all over tho country Tho last ono we havo heard of is ‘ spoken of by tho Natehez Free Traderi which states that Jeffer son Gollcge, at Washington, in Adams county, is about to lay claim to very valuable property, consisting of twenty acres of ground in the cen tre of the business portion of Mobile. The claim arises from an esohent under the lawß of tho Mississippi territory, when this part of Ala bama was under that territorial govemmont,*and by law it beeamo collego property.

On the sth of May about one thousand passengers were oonveyed in tho oars.

Cambiaso was the fellow who seized the American bark Florida and mur dered Mr. Shaw in the Straits of Magellan. Mr. Walsh, the foreign correspondent of the Journal of Commerce, describes a recent party given to a bride in Paris wliich ho attended.— Tho chief phenomenon of the occasion was a negro vocalist, who is called in tho gay metroplis the Black Malibran. Says Mr. Walsli: She is from Havana, and acquired there tho reputation of a musical prodigy. She seems to bo about twenty-five years ; her comploxion the Sambo, Florentine bronze; wooly hair. Her obarms were displeyad without stint; arms, neck and shoulders bare; bust and arms beautifully turned; thick lips, scarlet gums, white teetb, short stature. She played the guitar beauti fully and gracefully, accompanying herself in the Spanish lays—some comic—which she exe cuted with signal effect. If I had shut my eyes I might have fancied myself in Old Virginia, listening to a good baojo, and the peculiar mel low tones of the African race. Ilcrfeet were raised on a cushion, as she struck, I will notsay unjustly thummod, her fine guitar, with her frame drawn up , Bomo of the French ladies re marked that they might have imagined her a obimpanzeo, brought from the garden of Plants, and’dressed for the occasion. Her grimances ex cited as lively a sensation as her melodies. Her toilette was a white silk, with two deep flounces of superb, costly lace, (cost, perhaps, 5,000f5.,) strikingly contrasted with the color of her sltin; the corsage was cut as low as possible; no sleeve, literally; on her neck a rich string of pearls, fastened with a clasp of brilliants, a quan tity of bright artifical (lowers on her head; white satin slippers, &c. Carimcies. —Givo your cabbage plants that have been set out a good dressing with hoe.— And set out wbnt plants you may havo ready for Jotter crops. If tbo weather bedry, water freely and often. . Sow seed of a few of the earlier varieties for autumn use, to succeed the plants already set ont, and thoso ready to be set out. About the middle of the month you may sow seed to raise plenty for your main winter supply. Peas.—Plant a few rows of peas to succeed tho earlier planted. ■ . Lettuce.—Set out your lottuoo plants for heading, and sow moro seed every ten days throughout this month. Kidney Beaus. —Plant your main crop of all kinds of beaus of this family. Lima, Carolina Beans.—These should bo got in early this mouth, and as no garden can bo said to be complete without them, every owner of a garden should have a bed occupied in their growth. They delight in a deep, light, tolera bly fertile soil, which should be moderately ma nured.. Radisiies. —Sow tho seed of these every 7 or 10 days, so as to havo them successively, and crisp. Spihacii.— Sow spinach seed every ten days during this mouth. A deep moist loamy soil suits it best. Carrots ami Parsnips.— Drill in your main crop of these for winter use. Clean out your earlier planted ones—if you have any—and make it a point throughout tho season, to keep your carrots and parsnips clean from weeds and grass, and the earth at all times, open, and see that they do not stand too dose together in the rows. Eao Plant. —lf you-neglected to do bo last month, prepare a bed on a warm border, and sow some of the excellent plant the first week of this month, tho sooner the belter. If you have plants, set them out about the middle of the month. Okra,— Sow your main crop of okra the firßt week in this month. Parsley, Tuyme, Sage, and all other pot herbs seed; may still bo sown, or the slips and roots set out; provided, in time of drought, you have attention paid to watering them. Watering.—ln times of drought, your garden should be watered overy evening, or every other, planted at tho beginning of this month, and be treated to the same kind and quantity of manure as are recommended for water-melons. Deainino of Wf.t Bands.—To apply lime, or manue, to wet lands, is really to throw money and time away. So, if you have any of this de scription, have them drained. If they are stiff and intractable now, the draining will breakdown their tenacity, make them much easier to work, much more, if hot doubly productive, and make' them susceptible to the influence of manure. If they are cold how, by drawiugoff the superabun dant water, you will let in the atmosphere, warm up the soil, and render them at least two or three weeks earlier. Celery.— -If yon have plants, set them out; then sow seed to raise plants for your fall and winter crop. • Beets.— Weed and hoe your early beets, and drill in seed for your main crop. A deep sandy loam suits them best, which should be manured with a compost formed of four parts well rotted manure, three parts wood mould, and one part ashes. After you havedrilled in your seed, dust the drills, with a mixture of, equal parts of ashes and plaster.
