W il ii POTTSVILLE. Saturday Morning, Sept. 7. Porrsvii.Le , LYCEUM Order rif Lecture .19, Tuesday , Sept- 10th, on uNtoteorolo. it,y,"by Dr. G. G. Palmer, To Our SubserZers..—We earnestly entreat all commons indebted to us, esialcially fur subscriptions, to make immediate payment. We have with many been so long stiffering, that forbearance is no longer a virtue, and we fear we shall be compelled to resort to isessa, which we hoop never before used to ob tain oar dues. Our distant subscribers have already received their bills, and they can easily remit. there are some of our patrons (7) is this vicini ty who have removed without notifying us, or pay ing their bills. In future we shall give publicity to their names through ourcelunins, as a warning to ear breaker editors, in other places. Lycenna.--By refereuce to the Order of Lectures, it will‘be perceived s that Dr. Palmer will favor our Citizens with a lecture on Meteorology, on Thesday evening nest. The subject kiss, within a few years put, derived Additional interest from the researches of Espy, Olmstead, and others, and the phenomena connected with it, are among the most Isluding and wonderful of nature's works. Our first page.—Thee lines on Niagara" by J. S. Buckingham, are finely written, and worthy at tention. An article slab from the Journal of the Franklin Institute on the mineral wealth of France, 10 be found replete with interest. As for the -Bro- . ion Heart," we advise ur friends to skip it if they leave say thing better to t i i r k lo. It was inserted care ilessly,.and is not wor the compositor's trouble, Oruc.4 less the attention lof our •readera. North disericon reference to the advertisement it will beJ seen that this Coal Incor poration has assigned fdr the benefit of its creditors. We learn that many df the miners recently in its employ, are great tuf6rers, and that they severely feel the deprivation of their means. We trust that a MUM of humanity,-l(' not of justice, will suggest to the assignee, the immediate and full liquidation of debts due ta the laborious operatives of uur re eon. False Alarms.--Sodue of the yonger branches of our citizens are very fond of creating false alarms of Sze, mod burning piles of shavings. The Borough authorities should leek to this, ac it is disagreeable to our firemen,. and if “ wolf ' be cried so often, whoa tilde is nu danger, one of these times the ene my will be among us, and the alarm will not be be hoved. Fine Peaches.—We have been favored with not only a sight, but a taste, of the produce of a tree, which grew from a peach stone, in the karilea of our Mend Mr. Thomas S, Ridgway, at Morris' Addition, which for flavor, au and appearance surpasses any thing we have Lately Seen, No grafted fruit, net aim the vaunted early York " can match it, and we tryst that efforts may be successful in procuring additional trees of the same delightful Ridgway Pc" . County Nominations. --.. What are the Whigs geing to do la our County " ? is often asked us.— From present appearances, nothing, and perhaps it is as well. Being in such a glorious minority as we surely are, we cast but vote for the best candidate the, opposition Icy may select, or else not vote at We trust however, as the locos have it all their •wn way, the delegates will give us men, who will attend to the interests of the County, and not waste their time in political quibbling. For such persons, there wilt be found many whigs to vote. ; Unfortunate Circumstance.—We loam that an unfortunate eircsinstance occurred on Wednesday night, the 28th ult., on the Schuylkill, at Gray's Ferry, Philadelphia, which resulted in the death, by drowning, of two youths, named Adam and Aaron Rieser, the one age 11 and the other 13 xears, sons of Mr. Rieser, of Manheim Township, i i ittmar Coun ty. It appears .that their mother and alarhill Oster, bad accompanied them on a bail, on IShich they wore employed, to Pitiladelphia,kand while laying st tart wharf asleep in the cabin, another vessel was Sicilautly thrown by the storm against their Soat, which injured her so much that she immediately fill tad with water and sunk, taking dove with her all OD board, but: fortunately ton mother and small child escaped a watery grave, by the timely interference of some penning who were near. The remains of the unfortunate boyiedrere brought up to - a friend a house • in Berks county, and were interred in one grave, in the Abaft Church burial ground, on Sunday Last, an the presence of a large assemblage of people.

" . `7. THE SCHITYLECLL NAVII4TION DOM' NE AND THE L pOAL TRADE. The importance of that branch of trade: our mineral depante of Cod, to the whore of Pennsylvania, and the inumalinte khan.. riving to the city d( -Philadelphia, from :the wealth of Sohnylltill Coun.th are at gds . placed beyond tho most distant doubt. The act is shown indisputably by the circumstan the increase of coastwise arrivals is 4838 ove of IBs7, was ncir 700 vessels, of which nine are actually employed in the transhipment thracite coal. This trade embraces more th half of the whole Coal supply of this Crated and wives employment Ito thousands in all th dus branches of the business. It woul* the natural preoomption thit the interests of P. phia, anti particularly of the Navigation Company, slaUuld induce her 'to foster this intmetise artery of commerce, and yield every facility to those Oho di lion, Is not born out b! rect its currents. That ch • _at such a presumpuon, is not born hut . is lamentably true : that the • Coal opeiativea have been aba eye treated by a most ill:beret talky is beyond disguise. - This region is the only one; which fur nishes the (anthracite Red Ash Coal, ;glide at the same time iFs facilities for yielding the' While Ash are superior to the former, and preferable', to all others in point of quality. The White Ash foal shipped from this County sit 1836 was more than the Red Ash, in 1837 the amounts were abautekual, in 1838 tt Was about one-third of the whole quautity, and in 1839, so far, it has not averaged oneHaluirter. This is owing to the defective policy of the Navigation Compaq' ; had they used proper and Necessary ex ertions to give the shippers true weight:, and reduced their tolls, the Canal, might have pealed last year between 6 and 700,000, instead of only 431,000 tons, and an, increased quantity this season. If the Company had placed the toll at 70 cents, tend erected a Weigh Lock at the city to give the correct light weight of hosts, immediately after discharging their loads, which would have been an average saving of 20 cents per ton, it would have equalled a decrease of about 50 cents toll, on each ton, arid have placed our White Ash Coal in fair ceinpraition with all oth er regions. These regitis have sprung up within the last two or three years, and explain the reason of the decrease of our white ash shipments; where as had proper protection been afforded,. to Schuylkill County, it could have /applied nearly all the Coal shipped by them, at a lower price than they are of fering it, even, when it is notorious that they are losing PR every ton they throw into market. To arrive at the correct toll which we pay the Navigation Company, we must estimate, not only the 92 cents par tun, actual toll, but about 3 addi tional cents for the'reuarriing empty boat ; then add 20 cents which is below the average of loss the deal- , er suffers, from variations in weight, independent of wasteage, and 15 cents, which under proper regula tions and fair weight might be saved, inasmuch as coal might be sold at boat measurement, instead of i cing discharged and re-wgigheil ton by ton on the wharves in the city, and we have one 'dollar and thirty cents actually accruing as cost for canal trans portation, independent of freight. This could be in effect obviated, but the Navigation Company have hitherto refused to erect a Weigh Lock at the city, and we hear of no preparations for 4 construction against the next season. We call this mistaken po licy, because if the white ash business had not been depressed by it, tie Schuylkill CanalVrould have pas sed this season, say 700,000 tons at 70 cents, equal to $490,000, whereas now, but 450,000 tons will be shipped at 92 cents, equal only to $414,000, a loss of interest on more than a million of dollars, and producing a decreased amot.nt of actual shipments! Instead of fostering and protecting the Schuylkill Coal Trade, it appears to havakeen:the principal ob ject- of this Company, to borrow Money to make their improvements, to proclaim large dividends, run up their stock to an enormous advance, and the con sequences have been, the community are deceived, and persons who have invested in their stock at high rates, have suffered a loss of nearly one half their in vestment, by its fall to near its par value. While thus the stockholders are sufferers, the re present:l=f our region have been unnoticed and iinrifiev the result is, that at least $150,000 of improvements have been sunk to the dealers in white ash, which are now lying idle, or but partially work ed. All that this region requires is,: the section of a Weigh Lock at rail' Motpit, to enable our dealers to obtain . the same amount of Coal tiley pay for, and a reduction of toll, which cannot effect the receipts of the Company, except' favorably; hilt it is of vital im portance to the dealers of our County, inasmuch as by these means, we can furnish Cbal at a reasona ble profit, at prices less than whet regions which have been brought into etisteuce by the,perverse nets of the Navigation Company. : Give iii: these, and we can soon put competition it defiance, while they will always act as a check on ;high prices, pro duce a healthy business, cause coal to be introduced as a fuel throughout the land, and relieve our Coun ty froth all those evils which have nbw prostrated her ' i works and payaliaed the efforts of her operatives. The effects of this policy, are !leaclt solely in our region; Philadelphia Interests - muult suffer likewise; the stockholders who bought at high prices will lose more than half their investments, and find the stock going down to par—the Canal not yet completed— heavy expenditures still required teplace it in perfect order—large loans out standing, ankthe necessities of the Company requijing their increase, while they awake to the co nusness, that the high value of the stock was ficti 'ous, that the Coinpauy are throw ing away the.cha ccs to increase its vane, that they are actually .offs * a bounty to the building up of 1 otheir regions to ecrease its revenues, and that its while policy has ' n illiberhl, sel fi sh, and destruc . five to all concerned. ecl.

A Grave Charge.—We learn that Mr. Burton, the actor and author, hai acted in such a manner at New York, as to draiv upon him the remarks of the press in every direction. It is said that a man was taken with a fit, at his benefit, and that another ac tually died—laughing. Notwithstanding all this, a second: edition of his engage m ent was called Burton, Di called the Prince of comedians—if he will come up here, we will cede him all our in terest in Mount Laughfet, and we know a man who may be induced to follow our example.

An /tma Bridge.—The project of throwing a wire suspension bridge across the Mississippi river opposite St. Louis, is now agitated in that city. Mr. Charles Ellet, a civil engineer, is now there, and has spoken with great confidence as to the practicability of the work—at a moderate expense, and to a way not to interpose any obstruction to the navigation of the river. We heard of a man recently, whcr was so fond of .. creature comforts," that he never dated ex cept from some dinner or supper. ..

Editor :—W you have the goodness to give viler opinion in the " Star," (this afternoon if con. eliplent,) in the meaning of the following passage in Sbilikspeare's Othello " Yet she whited That heavan had mide net such a man." Desdemdne, delighted at the gallant exploits of Othello,-4is bravery in the Seld, his travels, perils, !ir.. miraculous escapes, c. &c., &c., .as recounted hy h t inaelf_..veished t t heaven made her a man such as Othello was. a cannot believe that in pres ence of Othello she uld have expressed a wish that heave. had mede her such • man for a hus. band. The hint w uld have been rather broad.— Othello say's:— 1 "She loved me far the dangers I liad„pass'd." N. Y. Star. . , • : • . From' the above opinion, we must beg to dissent,' notwithstanding the well known critical acumen: of our friend of the Star, The context of Othello's speech to the Senate reads, My. story being done, She wished, stni had not heard it; 'yet she wished That heaven had made her such a man: she thatik'd me.; And bade me„,lf I had *friend that lov'd her, I ahoula but,teach him bow to tell my Amy And therwould woo her. Upon this hint, I spoke! Now whether the hint was broad or not, it is evi dent that Othello took "Teaching a friend to tell his story,'? might have pre-supposed the bar of com plexion to their anion, but uwishing that heaven had made her stsch*man," shows that she "saw Othello's visage in his Mind," and loved him with a "down right violence land storm of fortune." Othello, with his "constani,lloving, noble nature" never "changes _With the. poision" of Ingo, until it ia insinuated him, that, f when e seemed to shake, and fear his looks, Wiiii /ov'd tit most, To which he mmediately merits, uand so she did!"

A Dispute.—The Boston Times, and the Cinci non Sun, are dimming the . important question whether a woman's terapee,is the first or last thing she generally loses.

" Indian Names.—Capt. Maryatt tells one truth in his Diary, which is, that we have taken every thing from the Indians, but their names of places. Major Noah is now for committing larceny on this remain ing property : he is for calling New York citY', Man &ilia, and the state itself, Etniario. sa All this will do well enough, while, they continue euphonious. Now to us, ManAaffa has a liquid, flowing sound, probably because the- hydrants in New Yorlt are called Manhattans, from the old Man hattan water works ; but when we get among the names, that sound like a regular war whoop, a change comes o'er the spirit of the thing. When you stum ble over such mellifluously sweet cognominations as Saskatchawen, Knistineaux, Callapeewah, Moose tocniaguntic, Choclawhatchie, Okefanokee, and-oth ers, there is but little poetry in the associations. Major Noah objects to New York as a name—why so ; does its antiquity render it objectionable Not in the least, as names descend from fatheAo, son— as a 0 or a Mac or a Yieh, carries down thasame appellation to succ..Asive generations, even so let it be with our towns ani. cities. Now here's our town' of Pottsville ; how much bet ter is its name than •that of Mahantango, Mauch Chunk, or many of our n e ighbors ! Give us family names—would any one, on account of its antiquity object to our friend's name of No-ah I—ah-no, cer tainly .! Let us have no innovations. Van Buren Retrenchment.—Andrew Jackson went into the Presidential chair pledged as the advo cate of Retrenchment and Reform. " The previ ous administrations of Monroe and J. Q. Adams were denounced as extravagant and corrupt, and it was t ihe hope of uprooting theie evils, that produced the most powerful political party ever formed in the United States. To produce this Reform, Tobias Watkins who appropriated $3OOO and a fraction over, of the public money to his private use, was impris oned upwards of three years, and then the work was finished ! To produce this Retrenchment, e ex pences of the Government were increased fro thir teen millions to upwards of forty millions ! Such was the profession, and such the practice of the re formers. During J. Q. Adams' administration, the public revenue was collected at about 4 per cent on its amount, during Gen., Jackson's term it was in creased to 8 per cent, and now in the reform times of Van Buren, it costs very near.lB per cent! The office holders, from a few necessary business agents, have increased to an army of political agents, who control the revenue, the elections, and the destinies of our country. They have fattened on the spoils of the treasury, hanquetted on the groans of a depressed commerce, and laughed at, the lamentations of the people, whether expreceed in Congress, by petition, or otherwise. Commercial distress, a bankrupl, treasury, a general stagnadon of the heretofore heal thy arteries ofour commerce have 'seen entailed upon our land, and yet the rallying cry of the Van Buren party, is still " retrenchment end reform ! " It is no idle speculatiori ! —it is no political quill• ble—the spoils of the Treasury have rewarded the attachments of the office holders, until millions have been sullen from the people, and distress has overshadowed the land. The administration oppose all investigation : we cannot therefore arrive at the full amount, but the following is the known result of of= of the defaulters situ the fatal day, when Andrew Jackson, was first elected to preside over this country.

The Vampire.-LA vanipue has been lately brought to London—the first, we believe, ever seen in Engbind. -By many, this animal has been usually ti nand with the phoenix, the, unicorn, and the sale ! mender; as a creature of doabtfilf existence, very pro Per to figure in marvellous stories, or to be used in comparisons and other figures of speech—poetics - ly. 8o little was known of it thatthe description of the crocodile, with which Itspidus was entertained and enlightened, might kit ;lived for the vampire. It is shaped jike itself; and it is as broad as it his breadth ; it is just as high is it is, and moves with its own organs ; it lives by that which nourisheth it, and the elements once out Of it, it transmigretes,„ . , it is of its own colour toe, and the tears oflt are wet." The vampire is accused of deStroying men and sni p:Ws by sucking their blood When asleep; and this too in such • gentle manner that the victim is all unconscious of the process, the soft whirring of the creature's whys lulling to 'a deeper repose. This charge is no doubt unfounded to the 1411 extent, el though the wounds it causes may' ones produce death by becoming gangrneous in warm climates...lt is of the bat species, and about as large as the com mon magpie.
