The London Times, in an article on this subject,.asks if it' does not appear at, first sight a strange result of the terrible statistics of society, that upon an average one-person out of twenty ot theinhabiiints - of that lux urious zietropoffs, is every day destitute of food and employment, and every night with - ont_a place for shelter or repose? ."INotwithstanding the strenuous efforts," the i Timfs continues, .‘ to relieve the desti tution and minister to the wants of the suf. feting classes; it is a lamentable fact that in this very town of London alone, the centre and core of British civilization . , 100,000 per sons are every day without fir od, save it be the precarious produce of a passing job or a crime. Since England was England,lthe general prosperity of the country has never reached so high a poineas at the present moment.— We mark with complacency theVadual rise of this swelling tide of wealth and luxury : we take no notice of the receding wave.— Many schemes have been devised by politic, - or humane persons to remedy this acknOwl edged evil. The statesman erects his Poor Law Unions, and the philanthropist his houses of refuge ; but still the des . titution continues. It is stated in the Register-Gen ararsarinual report for 1849; that nearly one human being died weekly in this wealthy metropolis from actual starvation.' In the corresponding report for 1851,, we find that 28 adults died from starvation, and 252 in fants from want of breast-milk or want of food. In the month of December, 1851, five adults died from starvation, and 29 infants from inanition." COAL DRILLER Among the many things yet to be inven ted, a'correspondent of the Scientific Ameri can enumerates a Coal Driller. Recent dis coveries, he says, prove that anthracite coal veins should , be worked by perpendicular shafts when below the water level, instead of by inclined shafts, usually called 'slopes.' The slope is made by running down thecoal' vein all the way from the surface. The shaft requires to be drawn from four to six hun dred feet deep, through the solid rocks that over-lie the'coal, and its area is about,l2 by 18 feet. To accomplish this by the usual 'methods, would involve an impracticable expense; and what is wanted is a steam drill to work, say twelve five-inch augers at once. A fortune _will be the sure reivard to him • who can do this, and plenty of contractscan 'be had in the Schay!kill coal field immediate ly, the money being advanced by the colliers. Something ot kind is used at Pittsburg, to drill five-inch holesito considerable depths, for ventilating the coal mines there, but in the Schuylkill Region' nothing is known of the•tmprovement. We hope same inventive genius will take advantage of this hint; such an invention Would, no doubt, be liberally rewarded, but not by the Operators, as the American has it—such investments belong properly to the Land-owners. , DEN. SCOTT ON THE COMPROMISE To prove that G. SCOTT is sound on the Compromise, we quote an extract from a letter to the Washing,lon Republic, written by the lion. Edward Stanley, of North Ca rolina—the same Stanley, who recently gave Mr. Giddings ruch a drubbing in the House, - and who will hardly be accused ot sympa thizing with Northern Abolitionism in any shape or form. lle speaks by the card.— Hear him : - "It is, I believe, certain that no man eanireceive the vote Of North Carolina whes is not known to he in favor of maintaining the Compromise acts as " final settlement " There is probably no man in the State who holds a different opinion. Our great est leader, Mr. CLAN' himself, it, in answer to the prayer of millions, he could be restored tb health and youthful vigor, with all the enthusiasm which he only could excite, mild not receive the electo ral vote of North. Carolina, if he were a candidate, ancVoppos:ed to the Compromise bills. gut it is due to myself to say that I have never said, and will not now say, that "I can't and won't -f.go for SCOTT." ^. On the contrary, I have always said I knew he was us earnest, ardent, and zealous a friend of the Compromise measures as there was in the United States.—l knot", of my OWL knotel edgz, that he 71V3 so, before their passage ttrong/a Congress, and a fiertearrls. 1 heard him reprove Northern men who were opposed to them,- before they passed Congress, in such strong terms that 1 ,tho't la: would etlend them. I know he is a South ern man by birth. - The country knows he poured out his blood on the Northern frontier, udder the stars and stripes, receiving wounds, the scars of which he vet bears. while lighting against Eng land's haughty power in the war of ISI2. The world knows the wonders he achieved, with North ern and Southern, Eastern and Western soldiers, in that unparalleled march from VOA Cruz to the City of Mexico. I know he is a true Republiettn, and has always been ; and,l have no fear that such a man would not prove as true to his country's best interests in peaee as lie has Ceen in war. I do not believe, at this time, there is one man in Congress, froth any section or of any pa+ty, Whig, Deanaerat, or Free-Soil;trho does not Limo Genera!

Among the many different secret associations and Orders in the world, the Odd Fellows have ever been prominent actors in the cause of general be nevolence, though exercising their philanthropy, for the most part, in en unostentatious way. - We undemtand that the different Lodges of our Borough have lately refitted their Lodge rooms in the most finished modern manner, and incurred finite a heavy expense, which they are anxious to pay, without drawing upon the funds of the differ ent Lodges. An object Po worthy should meet the ripprobation of the public, and as .they . intend to give the Ball of Rte Season, we are satisfied 'that the public will appreciate and patronize the Frater nity in a substantial manner. rir Agricultural Fair.At a meeting of the Schuylkill County Agricultural Society, held at the' house oT TAMES LES.IG, April 12, 1552, the Committee appointed for that purpose reported the following : "That they deem it not only proper but highly necessary and beneficial to the Agriculural community that the Society hold an Agricultural Fair in the fall of 185'2. They have fixed on the 21st and 22d days of October next for said Fair to cotbe off, and have selected Mr. JAMES Lesstu's Hotel, in North Manheim township, as a suitable and convenient place for holding such Fair. Mr. Lessig having agreed to put up the necessary en closures and shedding at his own expense on con dition that the Society will hold its attunet exhibi tion for ten successive years on his premises. The Society will meet at the house of JAMES LEssio, on the 29th (lay of May next at 2 o'clock, P. M., for the purpose of making sotue alterations ! in the By-Laws." I A Meeting of the Schuylkill County Bible Society was held in the Episcopal Church. last Monday Evening. Addresses were delivered by Rev. Mr. CARNAIIAN and Mr. KENNEDY. There was a large audience present—the Society seems to be in a most nourishing condition. It deserves to prosper—its object is, in every respect, highly commendable—to make the Bible a Wine in every family in the County, We can appieciate that homely though practical philanthropy which tea ches that "charity begins at home."

Mr. BENJAMIN HAYWOOD, formerly of this place, in a letter, dated San Francisco, March 15th, to a friend here, gives the following interesting, and, we haveno doubt, very cor rect statement of the business, prospects, 87. c.. of that city, together with some facts in re lation to gold mining, in that Region, which we particularly recommend to the notice o those inclined to try their fortunes there:— " That many have realized fOrturies ' there is 'no possibility of doubt, and that thousands have, and are still being disappointed, is equally, true. The Mining business itself is one of great uncertainty, as I had an opportunity of witnessing fltving a six months' residence in the Southern Mines last Sum mer. Many with Whom I was personally acquain ted realized, for working men, snug little fortunes, while others were less fortunate. And while Ma dam Rumour publishes to the world.the fitvorites of fortune, not one syllable is uttered about the Ilttappotntetl Gold Hunter: Still my 'honest con viction is, that this is the very Lest country in the world-for a man that has nothing but Ms labor to depend upon—arotridrilhe pnssessestlte indispensa ble requisites of character, health and strength of physical constitution, temperate habits, indomi table courage, indpstry -and perseverance, a capa bility to bear hardships and privation. 'For want of some or most oirthese qualities, many have failed that might have succeeded, and at the' same time, many that possesfted them, have not succeeded. As to tile extent of diplMgs or washings as they are called ; my opinion is that they are all-sufficient, for many years to come ; as what are called the dry diggings have not been extensively 'worked, owing to the difficulty of obtaining, water; a diffi culty that still exists to a great extent and must do so until suilicieiwcapital and labor can be obtained to turn branches, or canals froin the head waters of the rivers updu these elevated lands. Numer ous companies air already engaged in these enter prizes; some of them of a gigantic scale considering the high price of lahoi and the natural difficulties to be overcome. The Quartz Mining 1 consider almost a failure so far, owing principally to the de fective machinery, high price of labor, and Ow ranee of the business „all of which can and wilt be overcome in time when this department will then be a source of immense wealth. But while men can make from three to ten dollars per day, with the chance of a hig wile occasionally, Quartz Mining can only he profitable on very rich veins; but there is an inexhaustible supply of gcxxl work able Quartz veins in the State. I know of nothing more interestinglo contemplate than the increased activity in the agricultural department, and the eel , tain reward for the labofat the industrious farmer. There are immense val I ies in the State capable of the highest degree of agricultural production, and with comparatively little labour; and I have semi no fi ner vegetables in any coiintry (not even far-famed Philadelphia) then those raised in California. It is true we have not yet as great variety;'but for what we do raise either in size or quality, -it is not easy to beat; and as nearly all our breadsttilla have hith erto been imported, and since the millers, like those in the Coal Region, arc consumers and not produ cers, there can beAikidifficulty for years to come for want of a goiarinityket. In commercial mattert in this City nothing - can he more fluctuating than things have been. Goods have not only been slip ped limn all our own ports on the Atlantic without dirieriminat Mg regard to the watts of the com munity and state at the market, but front nearly every part of the world. The consequence has been a continually overstocked market in most leading artieles,.and great loss to the. Shippers. Add to this, losses.by repeated tires of most calamitous extent, and you may get a glance 61 some of the causes of disappointed speculators, and the ruin that many have lieeir involved in; for you see from the isolated position of San Francisco that if goods are not wanted (no matter what their original cost) they are absolutely worth little or nothing. You can not send them back, or to any other port, and the expense of storage, danger of fires, and no possibil ty of obtaining insurance, are no small items in the mercluint's books. But we are rapidly getting up substantial tire-proof buildings, and it is not possi ble that this City can suffer such disastrous confla grations us heretofore. This City must be from her position, climate, mineral and agricultural resour ces, and last, not least, the character of her people P and laws—the Great City of the acific Coast.

History informs us that, into whatever part of the world Christianity extended itself, there it produced the same bruits, which be came ,risible; after its introduction, in the countries already mentioned. And it teaches us, also, that world-embracing ideas; are destined to affect human life universally, and to elevate the character of human tho't to a higher stadium, are not the product of any individual thinker, but arise spontane ously, as it were, from the power of that general life, which underlies the whole stream, of the world's history. It is on this account, that all great movements, in ha -t. man affairs, which have a truly historical character, can be neither impeded in their course, nor prevented from reaching their destined end, by any ingenuity 'of man-- Hence the remark, so often made, that the wheel of destiny can be stopped by . . no hu man 'hand. But we see, also, that since the introduction of Christianity into the world, the CUM of human events halt been made to take a direction different from what it had before.; and it has, therefore, been well re marked, that Christ forms a grand turning point in the entire stream of the world's his tory, being, at the same time, the key to unlock the meaning of the past and to open a vision into the promises of the future. It is then evident, that the movements of .his torical events are not governed according to the will of man, although his actions and thoughts form an important factor of history, but that every thing is directed according to the wise purposes of an overruling Prpvi deuce, in whose hands, as the main fadtof of history, human actions are controlled. These thoughts suggested themselves to my mind, as I traced the origin of the idea of educating the mass;and followed its grow ing importanie up to the time now under consideration ; and their truth will` become more strikingly evident as we approach our own time. As remarked in a former article, this idea grew out of die teachingsaf Chris tianity. This religion extended itself, also, _very early into England. Cloisters and schools connected with them, were established like unto those on the 'continent, and produced subsequently similar effects. For we find, that - while CUARLEs the Gnssinwas , prosecu dog his work of opening schools throughout his empire, peculiar events were leading to the same thing itc'England. The first sove reign of this country, who was influenced, to any considerable extent, with this idea, was ALFRED the GREAT, who lived in the latter part of the 9th century. What an in-; teresting train of reflections arise in one's mind, in contemplating these two great his torical personages—CitAilLES'and the events of their time, and the c6seomt_ of which they grew. Two sovereigns, ly great and living at no long inieriaza time, come upon the stage of action, anima ted with nobler sentiments thaq any of their predecessors, and commencing a work, laid upon such broad foundations, that the lapse of centuries can only complete it. No sove reigns, of any previous period, existed, who were even capable of conceiving the idea of educating . a nation. They fi rst asserted by their actions, that the right to punish for crime involves also the duty and privilege,t6 educate and train up in the path of duty, and that the duties of a citizen can be defined best by the State itself. They thought, and very justly too, that a sovereign occupies, in many respects, die same place in regard to his nation, which a parent does in regard to his family; and that, therefore, it is as much • the duty of the fOrmer to make provision for the education of his subjects, as it is that of the latter to allow his children to avail them selves of the advantages of any such i*ovi slot]. No human authority, whether that of the parent or State, can inflict punishmeni with a' guiltless conicience, unlessithasniso provided an educatidaal training km those who are subject to such authority. These were some of the reasons which induced CIiATILES and ALFRED to establish schools which might reach the people as universally as the condition of society of that period ad muted. ALFRED was sot only very liberal in fur nishing, means for carrying on the cause of education in his kingdom, hut lie was also such a diligent 'student himself, that the amount of knowledge and extent of learning in him were perhaps greater than in CIIARLES. l i His time, which,lor want of a clock, he mea sured by means of burning tapers of a cer tain length, was divided into three equal parts, one-third of which was al o d for sleeping, eating and bodily exercise. ano ter third was devoted to his business affairs, a the last to study. His school system and in stitutions were under the supervisioitotihe Wisest men hecould find. Convinced thatthe intellectual and moralelevationof his subjects and aeneral intelligence depended upon a well established system of schools, hespared no pains to make such provision for his sub jects, and offered all suitable inducements to bring as many as possible under their influ ence; and for the purpose of calling forth latent talent, and giving suitable rewards of merit, he always made distinctions in favor of those who had given evidence, in their acquisition of knowledge, of intellectual ca pacity, by showing them peculiar favors and I I I assigning them respectable posts of honor. Some historians inform us, also, that a num ber of works were translated from the Latin into the Anglo-Saxon by himself. The most important of these . was a work of Bm'rmttvs, de consolattone philosoßluir," 'which he admired particularly. He is atsnsaid to have been himself au author of seekral works, and that in one of'these, still. extant, he expres ses his great pleasure over the progress of schools in England during his reign. But all these excellent arrangements, although very effectual during the reign of ALFRED, were nevertheless not allowed to ripen into full maturity, and shared the same fate as those of CHARLES. After the death of AL FRED followed a succession of political com motions and storms, which destroyed what he had commenced. But neither the'storms of the continent nor those of the Island could extinguish that great thought, which had already sunk deeply into the elements Of human thinking. Dark clouds obscured it occasionally, but every succeskive calm and serene sky lit it up more brillinntly than before. It was possible for political revolu tions to destroy particular schools, but they could never slay that idea, which gave diem I birth, and which brought others into life, faster than they could be destroyed. I The same intimate' connection, which ex isted between Church and State on the con tinent, during this period, formed also the basis ofcivilizatiotton thelsland of the Anglo- Saxons. ] Hence we find that ALFRED rebuilt everyw here,not only the cloisters and schools, which the ruthless hands of barbarous inva ders had destroyed, but that he did also the same thing• in regard to-churches. Neither was he less interested in a well educated clergy than in'able and learned officers of the civil government. An institution,estahlished by the church at Rome for the purpose of educating persons intending to labor in Eng land, in the service- of the church, receiv ed special favors from him. It is even recorded of him, that he had entertained the idea of I translating the entire bible into the language ] lof his subjects. But this was never accom plished by him ; only one-half of the psaltris were thus translated. The numerous schools and cloisters in England, like those on the continent, grew out of the teachings of Christianity. Those i which existed previous to the time of AL- I FRED had been founded by the servants of the church themselves, and each bishop ex ercised a general supervision over all the cloisters within his bishopric. The authori ty of these bishops was somewhat similar to those on the continent, extending, in many things, over into the prerogatives of the ci yil authorities. A general religions sense pervaded all political movements, and every I act, on the part of the State, was therefore controlled, to a considerable extent; by the church. This was particularly so in regard to the subject of education. But, in the course of time, the power of the State was absorbed by the authority of the church, which con tinued to assume more of the civil power continually, until the period of the Reforma tion, from which time these two authorities, —civil and ecclesiastical—acted more sepa rately. Ever since then church and State have had more or less their separate schools. E.
