.LEGISLATIOti NOW-A•DAYS
A siitnewhat - novel Legislative dodge hes
an transpired in New York, worthy of note.
According to the constitution of that Suite,
as adopter! in 1846, the members of the Le
gislature receive pay for a session of but 100
days. This time was trifled away by. the
members at the last session, -and at the ex
piration. of the 100 days--the pay stopping—
the members adjourned, although the public
business was lelt in a very unfinished cda.;
The Governor then summoned an I
extra session, enabling the Legislature.to re
ceive pay for anotbereonstitutional period.
To throw it blind prohably - over the affair,
the Legislaturehastaktn a recess till some ,
time in next Month. Semarking upon this
.new feature in Leg:shit - ire manceurrea, the
Tribune says t-
"_Ons mew days, it will begin to be suspected
that a man rosy boa shr,eVd horse' key or ser
viceable tamter without being exactly the man for
a law-maker. It may come to be asked whether
en ambitious youth who never spent a single day
in studying said relenting on the principles of Li
-gallium is fit to make laws. merely because he is
** in '.' with -tar keepers- of fwo or three popular
grog-shopa, and so is' sure to" put through " his
ticket at a primary meeting. It may even be sus•
peeled that the State cannot afford to take the grew
eat sort of apprentices to the law-Making xe-mess,
teen at the kive price of S 3 per day. µ 'e know
stah day is vet at acme:distance m the future; but
this Albany dodge has brought tin:men nearer, than
it niemed a week ago. Work and wait.
It is a lamentable fact, wehonestly believe,
that, as a christian 'government,. we are de
generating—that our national probity and
honor, are fast being usurped by payty sub
servieicT and party chicanery—that our rul
ers and judgis and men to ihigh cfficial pla
ces Ore more corrupt than formerly; and that
in everything - pertaining to the morality of
our government, we are much worse than
our fathers were fifty
,yeara ago. Not that
schools and chanties have effected no im•,
provement among the people; nor that good
men, who might be proper " rulers in 19-
E110;7 - ire fewer now than half•a century
ago; but because of the difficulty or even
impossibility io get such men into office—
the cunning, wity politicians can beat them
it every election ; indeed, our National and
State assemblies generally are held in such
bad odor that honest as little, to do
with them as possible.. And, it must be con
femed, from Congresi down. they ore bad
enough, in all conscience..- .
,Tak : e the Pennsylvania Legislature, for
instance—whit is its reputation at home and
abroad? Either the members are grossly
slandered or they are as arrant a sit of scampi
as ever trod in shoe-leather. They are sel
dom mentioned either in or out of the State,
in their Legislative capacity, except in con
- nection with bribery,, corruption, fraud and
all matiner of official inalliactice.
One main cause of this reputation, arty
thing but flatteriog,lies in the notorious fact
that much of the:to-called legislation is done
by. outsiders. A raft. of "borers" from all
-parts of the State congrepte at 'Harrisburg,
every winter regularly, to secure the passage
of eirtain measures, in which either they
- 'themselves are interested or in which they
act as agems for other parties, Who stay at
. home, rather too good to, take-part in such
dirty business directly. Some of these men
make it iisegular emploYmetit, and, profes
sing to "know , the ropes," they are ready to
. engage almbst any piece of legislation that
may be - demanded, provided only the mien
"cited parties agree to foot the - bi11...A very

THEODORE PARKER. TEln',Oeetlf in a sermon
'recently delivered by, him in - Bosion on the
- "Public Ferftetian of:VOmen," His views
are, in many respects novel, and throughout
.•
forcible, and are presented in that pertinent,
quaint style, so peculiai . ,,to the character of
his public addresses.: -
He starts out wiik . the effects of an im
proved female education, and. th e 'advan=
tages;of leisure lime : after the trditlary rou
tioe-of household - duiles, afforded the wo
men of our day; over their grandmothers, by,
modern improvements of Art. and Science.
The application, of theie improvements to
domestic manaiement,-,lie thinks, will be
come more and more general;: until house
keeping itselfwilf be reduced to a science,
.and the, - housewife become but the hod=
piece or balance-wheel of the domestic ma
chinery, and hence, he argues, must seek
employment, mental and-physical, in other
'and wider fields of labor. After this follows
that:portion of . his disquisition, relating to
the "Political Rights of Womati" which
we annex in full : , •
I BF nature, woman haa the same Political rights
that mat-has—to vote, to hold alive, to make and
administer laws. These she has as a matter of
right. Thestrong hand and the great head of man
keep her down; nothing more. In America, in
Christendom, woman has no political right , is not
a citizen in full ; she has no voice in making or ad.
ministering the jaws, none in electing the rulers or
administrators thereof... She can hold no office=
cannot-be committee of a primer. - school, overseer
'of the poor, or guardian of apitdie lamppost. But
any man,'with consmence enough to keep out of
tail, mind enough to escape the poor-house, and
body enough to drop his ba:iot into the box, be is
a voter. He may have na character, even no mo
ney„ that is no - matter—he isa ma:e. The noblest
woman has no voice in the State. , .Mert Make laws
disposing of her property, her person, her children ;
still she must bear it "with a patient shrug." ' I
Looking at it as a matter tit pure Right end pure
science, 1 know no reason Why woman should not
be a voter, or bold office. or make and adminis
ter laws. Ido not ace how I can shut myself into
political privileges and shut woman out, and do both
"m the nanne of aalienable right. Certainly every
woman has ti natural right to have her property
represented in the genera: representation at proper.
Ic, Mid her person repcesented to the general repre
sentation of persons.
Loblong at it as Ai matter of Expediency, net
some facts. Suppose WOUlall Mod a share in the
. ',municipal regulation of Boston, and there were as
many.3lderwomen as Aldermen, as many Common
Council women as Common Council men ; do you
believe that, in defiance of the laws of Massachu
setts, the City Government, last spring, would have
ticensed-eyery two hundred and forty-fourth person
of the population of the city to sell into:nutting
drink'—would have made every thirty : fifth voter a
rumreller' Ido not.
Do-you believe that the women of Boston wimild
spend ten thousand-dollars in one year. in a city
frolie, or spend two or three thousand every year
on s-Fourth of July. for sky-rockets and iimscmck,
en; would spend four or five,thou,aud dollars to
get their Canadian-friends drunk inslloston harbor,
and then preTerid that Boston had not uneasy enough
to elosbledi. a high :Mimi. for girls, to teach the
daughters of mechanics and grocers to read Latin
and-Fre:wi, and -to understand the higher things
which rictimen's sons are driven to at college '—
'1 do not. -4-
Do you believe that the women of Boston,in Kitt,
would have spent three or four thomand dollars to
kidnap a poor. man, and have taken all the chains
which belonged to the city and put theta round the.
courthouse,
and have drilled three hundr.li men,
armed with bludgeons and cutlasses:, to steal a man
and carry him back to , Invery ' Ido not:"
no you think. if the women had hail the control,
"fifteen hundred men of property and standing"
would have taken a poor man, kidnapped 'in Bos_
ion, and convey him out e,f the - Staie,-with fire. and
sword' I believe no such thing.
Do von think that the women of ilosfoti would
take the poorest'and most unfortunate children in
. the town, and put them a - 1 together mil) (MC school.

they had net, and could not have hrdt the'allvanta•

OUR STREETS.—NO 2.
--We will now - proceed to give some ac
count of stone pavements. These. may be
divided into threekinds viz : Ist.'Pavements
of dressed stone, ar squared blocks; 2d, Peb
ble pavements, and 3d; stone it amways com
bined with pebble pavements.
FIRST OF PAVEMENTS OF DRESSED STONE.
There can.4;enoquestiod but that these are
the very best kind of ,pivements.thitt have
been tried, io situations to which they are
adapted. And although very expensive at
first, are the cheapest in the end, where the
travel is great. as so the leading thorough
fares of a large city.
'They are formed by dressiogbkcks cf gra n-•
ite, or other hard and rough stone, into reg-
ular squares, and settiog them as closely to
gether as possible on • some kind of solid
foundation, so that their tops shall form a
smooth:and uniform surface, gently rising
towards the middle of the street. The sizes
DON used in'Philadelphia, are 8. 9 and In
inches square with an uniform depth of 7
inches, These are set on a bed of gravel as
s foondation. • There was laid in the city of
Philadelphia, daring the past year about
5000 square yards of this kind of pavement,
at en average cost of 83 14, per yard, inclu
ding the side gutters made of long narrow
flag atones. The blocks were of Quincy
granite, and cost, delivered on .the wharf,
142 50 per yard.. •
tram - the smoothness of this kind of pave
ment it is found to he too slippery fur steep
grades. A rise of 3 feet to the 100 feet is
considered to be as steep as they can be used
advantageously. As there is but a very
small portion of our streets which comes
within this limit, it must be evident from
this - consideration, as well as their great coat
that they are out well adapted to general
use incur borough, In some of our streets,
where the grade, lengthwise, would come
within the above limits, it has been found
necessary, or at least convenient, to place the
curb stone on one side or the street higher
than the other,—varying in this respect from
610 18 inches. None of our streets are more
than 50 feet between the curbs. To raise a
sweet. thus circumstanced, in or near the
middle, high enough to prevent the water in
the upper gutter from overflowing the car
riage way, would make a grade too steep in
cross-section, for the advantageous use of a
dressed stone movement. Horses would be
continually liable to fell and injure them
selves on such a smooth.end sideling surface.
The time may come when this kind of
pavement may be fouud advantageous and
even economical to some of the flatter parts
of our thoroughfares ; but at present we
consider it beyond our means,and otherwise
objectionable on account of the dif f iculty of
obtaining access to our water and gas pipes,
farmaking retails, and alterations, or new
attachments.
Another variety of the block or cut stone
pavement, known as the Ron pavement.
from the name of the person who introduced
it, has been largelfrise' d in New York. It
is composed of dressed .stones - from 9 to 18
inches long, and from 5 to 12 inches thick,
and of so uniform depth of 8 inches. These
are laid on shed of concrete, which is coin
paled of hydraulic lime, orcement, sand and
gravel, or small fragments of stones or bard
bricks; ::The blocks are laid at right angles
with the direction of the street. and grooves
are nit on their sulfate. in a direction cross
wise Of the - street—G inches span inch
deep, led inch, wide at the top, and Dar
bowing to a point at the bottom.
This kind of_ 'pavement costs 88.50 per
square yard. in New York, and is probanly
the most, do rableli io d that has yet been tried,
beinchi fact but a modification of the cele
brated Roman' highways—some:of which

FOREIGN NEWS
tl3' Tint' Taint EXODO3.—A correspondent,
of the Dublin, Dente Express. Writel uPon
the inst.:=““ Whether for good of for
evil, emigration from this and the adjoining
counties continues to flow on without any
material - abatement. The Foam left our
quays last week, the Falcon yesterday, each
ship bound for New York. and carrying
'nearly 300 pasterigers, chie fl y young men
and gill! of the farming classes. The Jess)!
and the Primrose leave this day for Quebec,
with upwards Of 500 passengersemostly Tip
-perary men, with their families, many of
whom appear of the better class of landhold
ers of from twenty to forty acres. Despair•
ing of the speedy revival of prosperity, al
most all who, possess - the means of leaving
the country are about to do so. The Sane
Black leaves also for Quebec shoot the 12th.
All the - vessels from this port are well found,
and most comfortable as to accommodation,
&e. The owners of the vessels are Limerick
merchants."
The Mato Constitution remarks :—" The
vessels at present lying at the quays of our
seaports have already had applications for the
full number of their berihs. The class of
emigrants at present leaving this Country are,
in very many cases, persons whose friends,
having before ,emigrated, were enabled •to
send fonds' to bring out their remaining
relatives. Very many persons of a superior
class, are leaving this country for Australia,
attracted thither by' the vision of a golden
hirvest."
The Wexford Guardian says :—The'exo
dos here seems to have assumed a steady, in
creasing current, and emigration is the fre
quent topic, of conversation in most parts of
the county. The States appear to be the fa
vorite land, very few •peaking of the Cana
daa or other British coloniei."
The Luneiiek Chronicle of the sth inst.
says:—" From the railway stations from
Limerick to Clonmel, throughout the coun
try, the people are, tlyirig in crowds to
the ports of Waterford and Liverpool, to
take shipping for the New World whilst in
Limerick, we believe we arliorrect in sta
ling that the ships already announced for sail
ing ■re filled, and other ships ate eagerly
looked for by applicants every day. The ru
ral districts and the smaller towns are the
destination of remittances to an almost in
credible amount from America and Austra
lia: and those remittances axe sent to enable
those to bear their voyage expenses to whom
they are directed. We have been informed
by a respectable clergyman within the fast
few days. such is the scarcity of men in his
extensive parishes, that be is obliged to send
to a neighboring town for laborers to till his
fields. Antither
,clergyman infortits us that
be is daily Yee-flail* remittances from per
son, in America to pay passages for their re
latives inthis pariah. It is apprehended in
the neighborhood of the slate quarries. that
the euterprtsittglproprietor will be obliged to
curtail the works, or abandon them to some
extent, such is therage for emigration among
the laborerste has been employing for some
years. Altogether the exodus is alarming."
Q7'RELMIOUS.—The Gustavus-Adolphus
Society. in Germany, has existed for eight or
ten years. Its object is to help feeble Protes
tant churches- to support a pastor,Tor to re
sist the attacks of their popish adversaries.'
This association furnishes money to some,
gives countenance to others, and labors in
every way to maintain, or extend, 'bewitch
ing of the Gaspel among those who speak the .
German lenguage. Themernbers of the So
ciety belong to the different doctrinal schools,
They do not adopt the uniform confession
of faith. Some (says a correspondent of the
Observer,) are' disciples of Schleirmacher
others pioless a strict orthodoxy. The di
versity of sentiment does riot prevent their
concurrence in the; same work,
_and their
uniting their efforts !in lavor of the Protes
tant communion. - The lastleneral meeting
took place at \Veisbaben, in the Duchy of
Nassau, and lasted three days. All the Pro
testant States sent deputies. The report
'states that the Executive Committee have
expended about 835,400 in the course of the
past year, and that the greater part of this
sum bus been spent in the serytce of the
; churches suffering under the oppression of
the Romisb Church.
ati i *A7 ATHENS, Dr. King sold last year
and distributed 440,020 pages of various re.
ligious publiations, of which 167,554 were
of the Hot Scriptures. He still continues
his preaching on the Sabbath without inter-,
roption. Although under sentence of, exile,
he was invited as U. S. consular agent, to
attend the Palace nn the evening of the
Greek new year. The new Director of all
the public schools of mutual instruction in
Greece favors the use in there' of the Scrip
tures of the Old Testament, which his prede
cessor prohibited. The Old Testament has
already been placed in the Teacher's Semi
nary at Athens. Mr. Benjamme, Who bag
removed from Smyrna to Constantinople, is
now supplying the Greek pulpit of the latter
city. The audience has somewhat increased ;
and on the last Sabbath several were present
who bad not been observed there before.

From the wives of Charlemagne down to the
marriage of Louis Napoleon, says the Dirt

the royal and imperial consorts, there are but
thirteen upon whose name there is no dark
main of sin or sorrow. Eleven were divor

THE PENNSYLVANIA COAL TRADE
A paragraph in the Charleston Mercury
of the 14th inst., quotes an assertion that the
coal tonnage of - the Reading Railroad this
season, thus far, is not quite so large as last
year, and remarks that the anthracite coal
trade of Pennsylvania is gradually decreas
ing." The - agurdity of sneh an infereace is
sufficiently evtdcnt to those who are familiar
with the statistics of:this great and growing
trade,and who. know the many causes which
tend to'produce temporary fluctuations, and
interrupt .for a brief period its prasperitir,,

would be just_ about as.correct to take some
portion of 'a season when cotton! was not
coming is freely, and say that the cotton pro
duct of the Southern''States is gradually de
creasing, as to say- i that the anthracite coal
trade of-Pennsyliania is decreasing, because
the tonnage of a.single one of its avenues to
market is not as large as last year; in the
mere beginning of a season. The anthracite
coal `productof this State for the year 1852
exceeded that of the year previous 528;755
tons : and vet the coal tonnage of the-Read
big Railroad for theyear 1852 exceeded that
of the previous year only 55,033 tons. The
Schuylkill Canal, which is quoted,
,by the
Mercury as being this season behind last
year's aggregate, is 'ahead of it, as witness
last week's report :I—total amount of coal
shipped by the canal up to Thursday last,
66,238 tints ; total to the same period of last
year, 66,115 tons. The Lehigh Navigation.
which last year .carried to market 1,114,221
twilit:if coal; is-not yet in operation for the
seagian,iowing to a leak in the canal, which
causes - a delay for repairs. There are also
several other important avenues by which
Or coal reaches - a market from the afferent
Icoal regions of Eastern Pennsylvania.
The receipts of coal from the Schuylkill
region have been this season less:et:lQ by.
sundry important causes which the superfi
cial observer does not take into account.—
Among these we may mention first, the dif
ficulties with the miners about wages,—
Strikes occur in the coal regions as well as
in seaport cities, and the general increase its
the prices of the necessaries of life has had
its:"eflect in producing thett! at this,period.—
)3ift it should be undc:rstood also that the
transportation of coal to tide-water, particu
larly on the Reading Railroad, is' influenced
fiy the elevation and depression of freights.
These have 'all this season ruled very high
and, consequently, there has been a serious
difficulty experienced in procuring vessels-to
carry coal from Philadelphia to other:ports
'along the coast. This (operated as ahar to
the present increase of the coal tonnage 01

..to suppose that a trade like this can decrease

NEW_DISCOVEIT.V
It is the general impression among Scien
tific men, that-only a small portion of the
,power and influence of electricity has as yet
been developed. One of its recent applica
tions has been the lighting of cities. As one
'of the results of this new application, we nu
tire the following statement,. which we copy
,from the Paris correspondence of the Aatron
al :
Science, particularly electrical science,
seems to be making fresh triumphs every day.
We : have now to record anew application of
electricity by . Dr. Joseph Watson, which is
exhibiting In the neighborhood of Wands
worth. The great feature of the_ invention
is, that the materials consumed in, the pro.;
duction of electrical light are employed for a
profitable purpose, independent of die ilium i
nation,. and more.than remunerating the en
tire expense: so that the light, which is ren
dered constant and brilliant, is produced for
nothing. Thus, whilst the lightis being pro k
'dwell by galvanic action, materials are intro
dueed into the battery by which pigments of
the finest . quality are obtained; these are so
valuable, that they_ considerably exceed - the
entire cost of the operation. Dr. Watson
thus speaks of his invention in a pamphlet
not yet published :
..Our battery we have termed the chrosnat
wbatlery, and its produce is colors. It may
seem difficult to imagine how any number' f
galvanic airangemenia can be- made to yield
a great variety of colors: but when it is re
membered that the real number of natural
colors is small, and that a difference of tint
and shade imparts to each separate product a
distinct commercial existence as a color, we
may then be believed When we say, that fly
- the use of not more than five substances intro
duced- into our batteries, we are able to pro
duce nn less than one hundred valuable-pig
ments, exceeding iii value, by a great per
centage,the. priginal value of the articles con
tributing towards theirproduction. Our mode
of producinethese colors-eunsists, not in any
subsequent mixing of the products resulting
from the working of Mir batteries, but is the
result of the actual development of the elec
tricity in. the battery." .
The exact process cannot be made iutelli
gible by a short extract from the pamphlet,
but the discovery is , altowed to be- the most
valuable, 'and its perlet accomplishment un
doubted. -
MINERAL TRADE OF ENGLAND
The London /Ifinini Journal sus :-
The treaty a comtiierce concluded
between Austria andl,Prussia, wnich virtu
ally comprises the north of Germany and
the Italian States of-!Austria, cannot I fail to
ha'e'a great effect on the mineral trade of
this country (England.) The expectation
that Prustia and Hanover will jointly; intro
duce a reduction of the, duty on iron at the
first fitting opportunity •gain 4 ground : on
pig-iron, from Is. toed. ;.on bar-iron from
4s. 641.. to 3s. ; on. *naught-iron and iron
plates, from 9s. to 69. and on iron-wire and
um-plate, from 12son i 9s.
When these facts aie considered, it will be
shown by suclia reduction that not only their
agricultural iaterests 14nill be benefitted, hut
as well the manufacturing and fiscil. inter
ests. Iron is now being largely used in the
Prussiin States bothi for shipbuilding and
other purposes ; and there is no question but
that a diminution of the duty will enhance
the consumption of iron, produced, as it Is,
so cheaply in England; and those States who
have a lower tariff naturally must have a
greater preponderance; in a commercial view.
over those who arc in favor of restrictive du
ties.
The price of iroa, owing to the heavy ex
pense of fuel, has been for some time raising
in these countries. - The Oder has such a
bad navigation that the produce of the Sae
scan mines is hardly „available beyond the
confines of. the province ; and the conse
quence is - supposed hi', be that the Wolf-pro
ducing countries of the south of Germany
will be compelled to abate their opposition,
the material being so 'necessary for'thp wel
fare"of the nothern states. The ellecf of the
present duty on iron Was shown liyrumemo
rial of Hanoverian shipbuilders in February
of last year - to cause 4n increase of' 225. 4d.
per last of the tonnage of -a vessel: And a
Prussian commercial establishment ordered
its ships to be built athlecklentarg, in order
to save the duty.' The.'statenten: of these
simple facts will suffice to show that our
neighbours are alive tb the principle of un
restricted competitiOn 'and free trade: '

one of the first countries to adopt the new is.

tainly.been paid to the subject in Russia, and
great Interest is taken in it. But it seem , .
that Captain Ericsson ha - s
