TUBS DOGS--THE DOGS.
People oomplain very mnoh of the high prioe
Of provisions now-a-days. They think eleven
dollars a barrel for £lBur, and twelve and a half
cents a pound for beefsteaks, oruel; and they
talk of retrenchment and eoonomy as though
they were thoroughly in earnest. Yet there are
many kinds of extravagance in praetiee that
people generally never think of cur-tailing. Now,
at the risk of offending the whole canino race,
we propose to point out one kind of extravaganee
by whioh the whole community is afflicted. Wo
refer to the general propensity of the people to
oaltivate and keep dogs. It may be considered
a small subject for a chapter on political econo
my ; but n fair viow of the matter will show
that the dogs of this republio are by no means a
small institution. It will astonish many people
to know that the dogs of this nation number
nearly five million. There are twenty five mil
lion of people, and one-fifth that number of dogs.
Now, consider the cost of keeping all these
dogs, and the amount of food they consnmo. In
snob a year as this it forms an important item.
We will be very moderate In onr estimates; and
will suppose that the average cost of keeping
each dog is bat ten cents per week. For a year >
even at that very low estimate, eaoh dog costa
over five dollars. Five million dogs at five dot
lars a year, makes twenty five million dollars.
Think of that! The dogs of the nation eatiDg
up twenty-fivo million dollars worth of food each
year 11 It is about the asaeßßed valnation of all
the property of Allegheny county, Penna ; with
its two oities, twelve or thirteen boroughs, nu
merous villages, wide and rich farm lands, and
all. Yet the dogs of the Union eat up the value
of Buch a county every year I Is it a small sub
jeot that we have entered upon? It is not un
safe to say, too, that fonr-fiftha of the doga are
almost utterly worthless. They may be classed
under the head of luxuries, and expensive ones
too, showing, perhaps, a high state of civiliza
tion, bat a bad idea of eoonomy in a year of
short orops and high prices.
, Political economists speonlato learnedly on
-lAhe -effects of the shipments of specie abTdad.
Yet the whole amount shipped einoo the firet
of January is hut little over five million dol
lars : only one-fifth, or at least one-fourth the
oost of boarding the dogs of the nation for a
year. They talk about the amount of food pro
duced eaoh year, and tell ns with great accuracy
just how much human stomachs must expand or
contract, as the ease may be, to adapt them
selves to the Btate of the supply of food. Bnt
they never think of the dogs. They consider it
a small subject; never dreaming that it is a
matter that foots np in millions. Some friend
of the dogß may say that they eat a great deal
that thoir masters could not eat. But the hogs
oould eat it, and thas oonvert it junto human food
again. Hoge, after all, whatever they think of
themselves, are mere machines for converting
Blush and garbage into lard and bacon. The
dogs have not the merit of such utility. They
are never eaten, except in the form of sausages
and pies in luxurious cities I Some kinds of
dogs are useful in their way, bnt the msjority
of them could be readily dispensed with In a
short year, without damage to pablio prosperity,
or peril to the pablio safety. They are a great
institution in nnmbers, but not generally nseful
in proportion to their oost. Suppose our esti
mate of their numbers and annual expense to
be too high ; we will reduce it to ten millions
of dollars a year. Even that sum would build
a railroad five hundred miles long over Whe
western prairieß. In ten or fifteen years it
would build the Pacific railroad.
Bat wo do not expcot.to induce on exter
mination of the oanine race. We shall be
satisfied if we snoceed in introdncing a new
ohapter into the next work on polltioal eoonomy.
It is a snbjeot that has been too long negleoted;
and while we are wondering whether there is
food enough in the country to oarry us all
through, it Is not improper to inquire whether
it is absolutely neoessary that all the dogs
should “ go through” too.
The Black Swan’s Concert,
Other engagements prevented our hearing any
but the first part of the Concert last night. We
heard enough, however, of the Blaok Swan
(which name, by the way, is a misnomer, for the
Swan never sings except her own dirge) tu oon
vinoe us Bhe iB gifted with a voioo of rare excel
lence. There is considerable humbug in oon
oerts and much more in operatic performances
given by so called •• artistes.” One is expeoted
to applaud and be pleased with a piece if it is
only given with the flourish and pretension of
the true Italian. We are glad to say there is lit
tle of this affectation in Miss Greenfield. She
won the favor of all by her natural tones, which
overoome the prejudice against her color, and
elioited such bursts of applause after each suc
cessive effort that all the pieoes in the first part
were enoorod. In return Bhe gave “Jamie
Dear ” and one or two other popular ballads,
whioh were reoeived with marked favor by the
audience. Bhe was dressed in attain, beoom
ingmanner and reoeived the repeated demonstra
tions with almost excessive modesty. We were
glad to observe a large audienoo in attendance—
a goed portion of which were ladies. We be
speak for her a full house to night, as we are
■atisfied every one who goes will be pleased.

pose of removing to Minneso‘a or lowa, with a hopes of millions, and in whose hands appeared

than a lifeless serf. For thirty years bo has
ruled a great nation of millions—now he lies in
dost, by the side of his Bubjeots who have gone
I)efore him, as lowly as they. The great level
ler, Death, who sports as lightly over kings and
princes as over serfs and peasants, has strioken
him down in his hour of might.
Perhaps the death of no man in the history
of the world has ever caused so many and snob
frantic emotions of joy and sorrow, of hope and
fear, of surprise and oontentment, of confidence
and distrust, of exultation and misery, as that of
Nicholas Czareowitch. But he will live long in
history ab an able and wonderful being. During
the last century, no man in the eastern hemis
phere has filled so large a spaoe in the public
mind, nor wielded so muoh absolate power over
European nations, as the late Emperor, Fotnre
historians will do full justice to his merits and
demerits as a statesman and ruler ; but, great
as he certainly was in all the attributes of
intellect, firmness and ambition, I admire
most in bis oharaoter those barnan qualities
which so justly distinguished him from all tbo
royal heads of Europe. As a man, be was gen
erous, truthful and jast; as a companion, be
was genial, confiding and magnanimous ; as a
husband, he was tender and devoted, and as a
father, lenient and thonghtful, and indeed in all
respects a model worthy of imitation. While
other crowned heads revelled in impiety and
lust, Nicholas was observant of religions duties
and striotly moral; whilst other courts were
wallowing in unbridled licentiousness and crime,
the Russian Coart, under the eye of the Czar,
has been celebrated for its scrupulous decorum.
His private life was one of severe propriety
in all that was sacred, and his last moments
were hallowed by the subduing traits of Chris
tian duties.
Up to this time nothing mare has been done
at Sebastopol, exoept some sorties made by the
Russians, in which they have oontinned to
harass and cat off the works as well as the
forces of the allies. But it has been long, sinoe
the latter have expeoted to do more at Sebasto
pol than bold their positions notil relieved by
some sort of a treaty, and to this end Eogland,
France and Austria are in patient waiting to be
cleansed of their leprosy at the holy court of
Vienna. What trick old Nesselrode bas in store
for them there, is not now to be divined. He
has for a long time been M on and off'* —“ now
you see it, and now you don't see it"—but I am
far from persuaded that be intends anything fhr
thor than a very costly joke at the expense of
tbo allies. Lord John Bussell Is representing
England, and the Eoglish press of coarse pre
dicts that Lord John will made a peace before
he returns, and regulate everything in general,
and Muscovite progress in particular; will be

APRIL 14,
Hon. Joseph G. Marshall, of Indiana, died at
LouisYille, Ky., on Friday, the 6th inst. Mr.
Marshall had been a prominent aetor in the legis

ho probably had no eqaal in the State.

[Convypoudenco of the Journal of Commerco )
Meldoobse, January lith, 1855 —More than
500 individuals and firms have within the laßt
four months succumbed to the pressure of the
times. Many have taken refuge in the Insol
vent Court; some have assigned their effects,
but by.far the greater number have quietly left
the Colony without attending to either of these
formalities. The oause of all this has been,
doubtless, over trading the large imports,
about *17,000,000 for 270,000 people, were
more than they could take off, gtod importers, in
order to effect sales, gave Urge credits to par
ties not deserving of it, and when these found
that a profit on tbo transaction was oat of the
question, they sold the goods for whatever they
would bring, 'and then “sloped for Texas.” Oar
imports still continue excessive, amounting to
£847,000 for the last four weeks. This crisis,
to which wo have not yet opproachod tbo worst,
is more severe and general than any preceding
one in these Colonics, and the depredation in
properly has been enormous. Stores that were
sought for at $lBOO per year, will let with
difficulty at S5OO. Cottages that formerly let
for £l4 per week, are now procurable for £5.
Servants’ wages, the more especially female
ones, are still high, £40@50 being demanded by
the veriest “drab" that evor came iato a boase.
Artisans and mechanics are the worst off—the
want of capital preventing their obtaining em
ployment.
The people here are imbned too much with
the old Canadian spirit, and are too mnoh sub
jeet to the dicta of Downing street to make
much progress. The resouroes of tbo Colony
are oaten up by the nominees from the Homo
Offico. It is true wo have a Legislative Cham
ber, in which the farco is performed by makiog
law, composed of fifty-two members: -nino are
official, eight nominees, nineteen composed prin
cipally of squatterß, representing districts con
taining 33,000 inhabitants, and sixteen members
representing town and suburban distriots con
taining 125,000, while the population of tbo
Colony was at the time of the election 280,000.
You can easily soo what sort of a sbaro the peo
ple have in making the laws. There is besides
a strong antagonistic feeling between the mem
bers for tbo towns and the Bq letters, who have
got possession of all the finest lands of (be
Colony, at a nominal cost, while wo are import
log at an enormous cost £4,000,000 per annum
of agricultural produce. It is true wo made a
Constitution, subjeot to the approval of the
Home Government, some time since, and sent it
home; but there it sticks, and I fear will do bo
for a long timo to come.
We havo been inundated with offico seekers,
and the Governor’s wits have been much exer
cised to make places for them. Just imagine
£3,600,000 per annum being expended in gov
erning a colony of 230,000 sonls! 1 The inoapa
bles we have at the Heads of tbo Departments,
could not make the rovenno equal the expendi
ture last year, and therefore seized a moiety,
£876,000 of tbo Land Fund, set apart by Im
perial act of Parliament, for the passage of poor
laborers, and then bad the audaoity to propose
an expenditure of £4,800,000 for 1855. This
excited the people, and we bad a regular tumult,
a portion of wbioh was tbs Ballarat massacre.
The Colonial Secretary resigned; a more popu
lar one was appointed, and the Governor was
told pretty plainly that £lO per head was enough
to expeod in the government of the oolony, and
not any more would be allowed.
Death haß lately been busy in the world. The
grim skeleton has nsed his Bickle with a re
morseless band, and gathered in a fearful har
vest. His gory hands, Btill dripping from the
recent work, have thrown open the portals of a
palace—torn aside tho curtains of a throne—
and placed a wreath ot oyprcßS upon the aohiug
temples of a King. The Emperor of Russia Is
dead 1 Death has struck the strong, proud man
in bis lonely greatness; iu the fulness of bis
pride he has passed away; for him the. shadow
has vauished from tho dial and time has ceased
to be; Cmsar goes erect upon his throne; in
the darkness cf his orown lurks the destroying
lightning, and tho brow is olothed with terror;
bnt an invisible hand snatches the soeptre from
his grasp, and extends a pall as a canopy; a
breath, and the poorest serf may claim brother
hood with an Emperor.
From the throne to the bier ; it is bnt a step.
See what remains of Nicholas of Russia I A
shrouded figure, with a face soaroely altered by
death; rigid as In life. Beside tho coffin Bits
the weepiDg wife, passing that “lonely hour” by
the oorpse. A Murat or a Nero dies, detested
by the world; yot Murat’s gun was sought by
ono who loved him, and a grateful hand Boatter
ed flowers on tho Roman’s tomb. But this man
was no Nero; far from that An obstinate,
mistaken man, if you will, in whoso diseased
blood lurked madness—a madneßß destined to bo
felt at every fireside in this and other lands; a
self-willed, earnest man, who loved the people
he governed, the people who weep the Empe
ror as the wife sits weeping the—man.
Nioholas of Russia is dead, and a generous
enemy does homage to tho greatness of a fallen
foe—and those who hated the living man un
cover to the oorpse as it passes them in the
streets.
The emperor is dead. Listen! Manager
Doldrnm, bowing over the foot-lights, is an
nouncing it to an applauding audienoo. Colum
bine must Btny her graceful twirls, Harlequin lay
down his shaking wand, Clown oease to grin :
tbo emperor is dead ! Death, sudden death—
that most terrible of visitations—has oallod the
proud man to his last acoount. “ Hip, hip, hip,
hurrah 1 bravo I 1 hip ! hip ! ! hnrrah l ! I”
Manager Doldrum bows, generous Britone give
a final shout. The announcement was over, the
pantomime goes on : Harlequin strikes an atti
tude, and Columbine—a goddess in a olond of
mußlin—springs lightly on his shoulders. Stay:
the national authem, “God Save the Queen”
and then —“ Hot Codlins from the Clown.” ’
Thus was an awful death announoed; and
thus was suoh announcement received by a
highly-civilized and thoroughly Christian people.

PARIS LBTTRR,
[Correspondence Of thTisity Morning Vost]
On more than one occasion the “holy alliance"
between England and France has been rudely
shaken and pressed very near to a dissolution.
General Canrobert wrote to his Emperor some
lime ago, that the English were not only use
less, but absolutely in the way, at Sebastopol.
Napoleon remonstrated with the English Cab
oct and assured them, that if he muet defend
England and Turkey, unsuetained, that he
would adopt the only oourse left to him, " va
cate the throne, declaro Franco n Republic,
raise the Republican standard in Europe and
let England take the oonseqnencos.” This led to
tho collapse of the Aberdeen cabinet and the
formation of the Palmerston ministry.
Affairs growing still worse, the French Em
peror informed the Qaeen, that, “her pot Lord
Raglan—who is personated in French prints as
reoalted, and that tho Roebuck oommittoo most
not bo allowed to go on inflioting the conseqnen
oes of exposure and disgraoo upon the cause of
the allies otherwise—although France coold not
be indnoed to refrain from the objects of the
war—she should press towards the attainment
of it without the allianoe of England.” Thus
things stand, Napoleon’s throat unheeded, and
tbe Roebuck oommittee going on with their in
vestigations; and I now repeat what I said to
you nearly a year ago, that-thls allianoe will not
last two years. There is great dißsatlßfaotion
among tho French people at their being connect
ed with England. No pnblio complaints are
made nor will much of their real feelings be
Been until the predestined spark shall be wafted
into the magazine. But it is a fact that officers
high in rank in tho French Government despise
and denounce the sllisnoe. Napoleon has-long
since discovered his mistake, and he is just
the man to tack about, when the timo and hie
own safety demand it. His bold upon the crown
however cannot be easily loosened ; he is deter
mined to keep it to the end, and he will readily
change his polloy to save his bead when it be
comes necessary. His grip of tbo jewelled Hat
is as tenaoeouß as that of Death upon n -lead
nigger ns some ono sayß, (not Bhakapear«, but
some poet I suppose,) and he will not be tamely
Prince Napoleon, who has been dazzling in the
robes of royalty and eolipsing lee petiles etoiles
as the Heir apparent, has recently been shorn of
some of his feathers. It has long been under
stood that If the mermaids of the waters of Bi
arritz by the aid of his Majesty, could not mnke
Engenin hand over a Royal Baby after a reason
able time, that the ohoice would fall on some other
than "my cousin." Then too the Prinoe was foroed
to oome away from the Crimea, and thus (he
milk of that ooooa-nnt iB aooounted for; and
since his return to Paris he has been Id as mnoh
trouble as the lady Fortune Tellers of New York
under Mayor Wood, who seems to be a sharp
stick. It is said that the Prince baa been detect
ed in writing and publishing pamphlets and let
lere against the Government of his beloved rela
tion, and doing other naughty things in the way
of getting up a conspiracy, for whioh he has
been pot in “restricted bounds ” at Vinoennes.
This Btory is current here, whether true or not
I cannot say, bnt It Is believed. One thing is
certain, there has lately been a great nnmber of
arrests and imprisonments for political offences
throughout nil France, among whom Is Eamile
Girardin, and other oelebrlties. Many respect
able oitizens have been tried and sentenced to
fines and imprisonment for expressing doubts
abont the encaeaa of the allies at Bebastopol.
If this is not supreme tyranny, I would like to

leon City Commercial College.— We paid a.
visit to this institution yesterday—oar first since
it has been remodeled—and were really sur
prised to find that there existed in this city a
commercial oollege so oomplete in all its depart
ments. The building, we have hardly a doubt,
is superior to any of its kind West of the Alle
ghenies, or perhaps in the East either, and is
admirably suited for its purposes. Prot. Millar
is assisted in the different branches of commer
cial education by the very first talent. The im
provement he has made in the oollege building,
and his outlay for eapable assistants, makes his
expenses heavy; but we are glad to say his sno
-0688 has also been great. Our citizens should
give the Iron City Commercial College a gener
ous support, for it is a credit to Pittsburgh.

The French minister of foreign affairs has also
been to London to oonfer with the English cabi
net upon this momentous question.
Although the third point in the Vienna Con
ference has been modified, a serious difficulty

ipotentiary had no power to aot on this, and sub
mitted the matter to St. Petersburgh there to
rest. All the plenipotentiaries have sent to their
governments for instructions. Qortschakoff, on
the 26th, moved for the admission of Prussia
into the Conference.
A special correspondent of the London Timet
writing from Sebastopol describes the condition
of the army as much improved. In the aotual
works of the siege there is no progress to justify
favorable prophecies. A formidable Russian
force has assembled around Eupatoria which
virtually beseiges the place. The Russians could
not hold Eupatoria if taken, as it is completely
under the guns of the English fleet.

Austria’s oircular of March Bth by sending a

SPECIAL NOTICES.
Opinions of the Press.
The following is from Gen. Geo. P. Morris, in the Home
Journal of Not. 7, IMS :
All editors profess to be the guardians of the rights of
the people, ami to keep them advised, through their
columns, of whatever shall arise for their benefit We
will live up to this letter, and inform them that the most
wonderful and valuable medicine for their general use ever
invented, is “ Ballet's Magical Pain Extractor.'’ Its vir
tues are so rare, mighty and eccentric, that cf.en they ap
pear to v ork more like miracles than by science, so effect
ive, electric and astounding are Its powers on the human
body, that, though now it is daily tried by thousands of
people, not one of this great mass but is delighted beyond
comrarison, and candidly confess they, on no consideration,
will ever again be without it.
Tbe inventor, Mr. H Bailey, has wisely kept thesecretto
himself. Counterfeits are busy about it, but without suc
cess. Its overwhelming merits defy alt competition, and
its peculiarities analysis. We confidently commend all pa
rents to seek Its acquaintance,for suiely.sucha friend, who
laugh* at death and suffering, restores ibe blind, lame,halt
and scarred to perfection, ani ail from pain, is a ‘‘friend
indeed."
We wish the discoverer of this mighty blessing, who Is a
real benefactor to mankind, God speed.

This is to certify that my child, three years old, was
troubled with worms f ome eU mouths. I hare tried seTe
ral hinds of medicine, but nose of them done any good; end
It was not until t tried Dr. M’Lantf# celebrated Vermifuge
that I found any relief. I gave her the contents of one hot*
tie, Which brought from her a very large quantity of
worms, b at they were so completely cat to pieces it was im
possible to count them. My daughter Is now doing well*
indeed she is completely restored to health. 1 therefore
take pleasure in recommending it to parents. I would say,
by all means keep a supply of this valuable medicine con
stantly In your houses. 1 have known many children to
die suddenly from the effects of worms. It also not nnfie
quently happens that children are treated fur croup, when
the choking and coughing is caused altogether by the irri
tation of worms. Therefore, we say again, keep it always
in the house; it costa but little, and may be the means of
saving Ufa; and at any rate it will save physicians’bills.
