Pottsville Lyceum.—The lecture delivered on
Tuesday evening last, by Dr. Ludlow, Provost of
the University of Pennsylvania, was a highly intel
lectual coniposition. The subject was a review of
the principles of that inductive philosophy, which
had its origin with Bacon, and which has, within
the:laststwo.centuries, convened all the wild and vi
eionstry speculations of-the ancient schools, into de- i
finite and established principles, based on natural
deductionsi, and incontrovertible sequences. Dr.
Ludlow is . peculiarly happy as a didactic lecturer :
Ans has a bid and vigorousatyle, and illustrates every
givizaiiple Which he advances, by immediate applica
tion and.referance to well known facts. The portion
the:leatusa, which pointed out the harmonious
parallel Isciween.the researches of !science, and the
revelation of divine wisdom, and more particularly
their analeptic bearing on the cosmogony of Moses,
was peculiarly striking. The great advantages
which have. accrued to every department of science,
and the vast aid which research Obtains by the in
ductive proms, of experiment or reasoning, were ful
ly detailed, and tthe lecturer, in his concluding re
marks,ledthe mind, in a masterly manner .to the
eontempla#On of that beneficence, which har ordain
ed all things for our moral and intellectual advance
ment, and Whose wisdom is commensurate but with
his merciful disposition of all things foi human en
joyment.

4 . Murderer's End.—Lawrence McCarthy was
executed in Louisville, Lewis county, New York, on
the lit inst., for the murder of Aahael Alford, his
father-in-laar. The execution took.pluee in the court
room, in the presence of a limited number of specta;
tore. He confessed his guilt, and stated he had med
itated the deed fur a week previous to committing
the murder. The fatal blow was inflicted while the
deceased was engaged in writing. He drew the bo
dy, before life was extinct, to a potatoe hole not far
.m .e house, where he t intendqd.leasingit, but af
terwards hitched his horse to it and dragged it into
the woods.
This McCarthy is the individual, to whom we re
ferred last week, in connection midi Gov. Seward's
decision on the rights of the Catholic confessional.
The confession of his guilt was obtained through the
instrumentality of the attending Priest, and the pri
soner died in the full conviction of the enormity of
his crime, and penitentially impressed with the rites
of his religion.
The Factory System.—Minch has been written on
this subject, but we think the plan adopted in Prue
sia, is by far the beat, that him fallen under our ob
servation.' By a recent decree, it is ordered, that
ihildren under 9 years of age shall not be employed
in mines, workshops, or manufactories; none under
16, unless tipsy have attended school three.years, and
can read and write. Those under 16 are not to work
more than 10 hours per day, commencing not before
.five in the morning,and ending not after niner in the
evening. In particular cases, to be determined by
the local authorities, an hoar a day may Se added
to the 10, but for a paths] not exceeding a month.
These regulations, togethkr with specified hours of
relaxation, will do much to improve both the moral
and intellectual condition of the apprentice system.

display so much taste and economy, and are not so
comfortable, according•to.the accounts of travellers,
as the dwellings of the same classes in England and
some other parts of Europe.
It should-be•remembered that it costs no more to
build a residence in good than in bad taste, and that
neat, comfortable dwellings are much cheaper in the
end, than old barns partitioned off, particularly in - a
climate -where fire is required more or less, for eight

the 23d inst. on the Coleosahatehiii river, where they
had gone in accordance with the Treaty at Fort
King, to establish a trading house. The party con.
misted orabout2f3men, armed with Colt's Rifle; they
were encamped on the tires, but unprotected by de
fences of any kind, and it is said without sentinels.,
The Indians in large force made the attack before
the dawn of day, and before revillie, and it is
that la of the men were killed, among whom
was maj. DALLABI, and Mr. MORGAN, settlers. The
remainder with Col. Barney escaped ; several of
them severely wounded. It was a complete our- .
prise.
The Commanding General therefore directs, that
you instantly take measures to -place the defences at
Fort Mellon in the most complete state of repair, and
be ready at dll times to repel an attack, should one
be made. No portion-of your command will, in fu
ttire,•be suffered to leave the garrison; except under
a strong eecort- The Detachment at Fort Maitland
will be immediately withdrawn.
Should Fort Mellon prove unhealthy, and the Sur
