Lours PHILIPPE, although the "Napoleon
of Peace," had very pretty ideas on the sub
ject of Annexation. ,In 1842, by his desire,
Admiral DUPET/I , THOUARB took possession of
the Marquesas Islands, (in the Polynesian
group,) and, in 1848, the French occupation
of Otahoite, with the subsequent ill-trentrne nt
of PRITCHARD, the British Consul, by the
French authorities, was very near involving
England and France in war. It would seem
as if Louis NAPOLEON Ivero deterinined to
follow the example of CHARLES X and LOUIS
PHILIPPE rather than of' his illustrious uncle.
Within the last five years, that is from the
commencement of his Imperial rule, he has
been busy in providing Franco with what she
so long has needed—a tine marine force. He has
largely increased the number of his vessels of
war, and particularly has built up a strong
steam force. The Increase of territory in
the Pacific would therefore bo of advantage
to him, and he seems likely to have it, ere
long, unless some preventive measures bo
employed.
iE la stated in the English nevapapers re
ceived by the Niagara, that Louis NAPOLEO7
gent oat a diplomatic agent, one Manske]
PERRIN, to treat with the authorities van
govern the Sandwich Islands—to obtain such
a commercial treaty as would give almost ex
clusive privileges to Frenchyotels and sur
chants, and to establleb a riench-Vitit
over the islands. It is sale that this attemp
411;444444-144484- I MA,AfrEitat'utibi
among and over the Hawaiians.
This is a frivolous pretext. The right of
discovery might have givonprotensions of ee l ,
cupaney and sovereignty to England, but,lf
these over existed, she waived them long ago,
and repeatedly declined the invitation to as
sume a Protectorate over the Sandwich
Islands—even when the Sovereigns'of that in
teresting and beautiful group actually went
to England, for the express purpose of tender
ing their allegiance to Gsonos IV. At ono
period, when circumstances induced Captain
ICErrEr, to take possession of those Islands,
they were promptly restored to the native
king, by order of the British Government.
Biiitsh supremacy, then, is a mere subter
fuge, as Lours ItTAroLsom knows exceedingly
well. Ho is afraid of American influence, re
membering how near, even so lately as ISM,
the Sandwich Islands were to being annexed
to the United States—which, by the way,
would have been the very best thing that
could have happened to them. As it is, a
great many Americans have settled on the
Islands, and there is a large trade between
them and California—the part of the Ameri
can Continent nearest to which they are.
This very contiguity, coupled with the fact
that the American is fast becoming the ordi
dinary language of the country, would seem
to indicate a (€ manifest destiny" In favor of
the United States, as the natural ally and pro
tector of the Sandwich Islands. The mis
government, immorality, and bard rule of the
French in Otaheito supply sufficient warning
against their getting a chance of playing the
same game in Owhyee. The manner in which
they have tyrannized over the Bociety Islands
is an adequate reason why the Sandwich
Islands should not by surrendered to their ten
der mercies.

In _October, 1806—to hay° more than the

of warfare to which he had been trained, and

The Bourbons, who sueceeded him, were

what France was allowed to keep, after the

wished to gratify the national idea of itglory)?
and , g victory," and lie was well aware, as the
result shows, that Algeria, a French kingdom
in Africa, would probably draw off' the worst
portion of the French population.
Ere long, no doubt, the United States Go
vernment will have full information, from its
own representative in the Sandwich Islands, re
specting what Franco has attempted, executed,
or gained. Any commercial treaty, between
France and the Sandwich Islands, which leaves
the United States in a worse position than be
fore, cannot hold water. Our very geographi
cal position makes us theliaturaL.mr-a.a LIM
I 'ana-----,,t- - ffs --- n - ditrest neighbor, of the
Sandwich Islands. We say that more than
three-fourths of the commercial, trading, and
mercantile business of this group is transacted
with the United States. Among the white
Inhabitants, fltlly three-fourths hail from this
country. The very code of laws by which the
Sandwich Islands are governed is framed on
the American model. The religion of a groat
majority of those who have any profession of
Christian faith is at variance with the belief
usually held by Frenchmen. There are very
many reasons why the United States should
jealously watch any insidioss efforts on the
part of Franco to obtain preference or pro
tectorate.
It must be home in mind that France al
ready has the lion's share of territorial sove
reignty in the Pacific. As far back as 1842
France annexed" the Idarquesas group.
Since then the Society Islands have come
under the same sway. The process employed
was precisely that which has boon commenced
with the liawafi group. First a treaty—then
a preferential treaty—neat, a protectorate—
finally, usurped sovereignty. We must pro
tect the Sandwich Isles from such a fate, by
all means in our power.
The Sandwich Islands not only supply an
chorage and other advantages to our Pacific
whalers, but form the first stage, as it were,
between California and China, with which we
are carrying on a large and increasing trade.
France has no -trade whatever with these
lalands.. The last return of imports thither
showed the United States as sending over
$900,000 worth of dutiable articles, out of $l,-
100,000, which is the value of all the imports
for twelve months, while, during the same Pe
riod, the value of dutiable goods or produce
imported fromlFrance, was exactly Thirty Dolt
land
This single fact is enough to establish our
position, that, by trade not less than by situa
tion, tho Sandwich Islands have a strong alli-
Mty for the Irnited States, and none for France.
In truth, at thii moment, in all but name, thoy
form an American colony.

PURCHASE OF REAIi.. ESTATE.
During the past year the managers have tuadrl
the following purchases of property:
First. A piece of ground on the western bank of
the Schuylkill, a short distance below the look! at
Fairmount, containing about 13 acres, at a oast or
$45,000, of which stun $13,000 bare been paid,•
and the remainder is payable July I, 1800, with
Interest, and is muted by the company's bond,
with mortgage of the premises.
This property has a valuable water front on the
Schuylkill, and has been improved by the ereetion
of a substantial wharf and pier, and an extensive
line of piling, which furnish, with the property
owned by the company on the oast side of the'
river, ample wharfage for the acoommodation of
the boats now engaged in the trade by oar works.
In order to add to these accommodations, the &c
-ohost) was made, as the possession of wharr4s.

purchasers, at prices that will reimburse the origi - nal cost of the property.

This has hitherto been done under temporary ar
rangements with the owner of the property, betas
he had determined to sell the estate,it was deemed
best to become the owners of it, and to raise the
dam permanently at some convenient time. There
premises are now rented, and will, from the loca
tion, always command a rent nearly, if not quite
equal, to the interest on the purohnse money, The
sum of $3,000 remains unpaid on this property.
Fourth. Sundry lots of ground in the borough
of Schuylkill Karen, late the property of the For
rest Improvement Company, and C. A. Neekeeher,
Esq., at, a coat of $5,000. This property has been
purchased with a view to a very important change
in the arrangement of the works at Schuylkill
Raven, which will convert, at a moderate expense,
the whole of the pool of dam No 8 Into a dock,
and harbor for boats, and by a shauge of the de-.
honcho of the west branch of the Schuylkill, re•
lieve the docks and canal, effectually, from the
deposits of sand and ooal dirt, now brought down
that stream by every freshet. The cost of this,
property has been paid in cash and loan of 1882.
Fifth. An undivided intend of nearly the
whole in a ',loco of land and lots, near the town
of Port Carbon, at a cost of $1,805, to be paid with
interest thereon, on the first day of July, 1858.
This has been purchased mainly for the

OP VIZ BOAT AND CAR EQUIPMENT.
The tmatees of the boat' leans have purchase d
in 1857 two steam-tugs, for towing vessels and
boats on the Schuylkill;
one locomotive engine,
for hauling ears at landings; thirty-two canal
boats, and four hundred and twenty-two coal
OEM
All the obligations given •for the purchase of
boats and ears have been met as they Matured,
and the tintorest on the .boat loans has been
punotually paid. But, it was with great regret
that the board found the funds received by the
trustees from the tempos of the boats would not,
in addition to ouch payments, meet the instal
ment,of the boat loan of 1850, due on the first of
Noiember last..

in enable the trustees to discharge the debt, from
the receipts properly belonging to the trust. It
is expected that this may be accomplished on the
first of May next. • '
The state of tho boat tenets is given in the ac-
Minas herewith submitted; It exhibits a large
surplus over the liabilities of the trusts, which, on
the flnal closing of the same, will be the property of
the company. Its reversionary interest in this

OP THE CONDITION OP THE WORKS.
The report of the chief engineer, which is pre
sented with this, gives clear and detailed state
mentacit the work done Order lairtllrections, both
of pertuftnent and cement kinits,Nrith'references to
such repairs, ho., as will probably be required du
ring the present year.
Ills long connection with the company, and
his experience and faithfulness in its service,
give Apra value to his statements and . sugges
tions.
Threatened, as we were, at the breakg up of
the io t a hat spring, with extensive injury, It will ho
seen that the whole cost of the repairs of such da
mages amounted to only $1,852.70.
The whole of the immense business of the year
has been done with but few accidents and inter
uptions, and they of but little moment. Much of
this enemas is attributable to the earefulneas, at
tention, and skill of _tha_ -„.
czeutt - lecarmlacere. The general anperintendent
and his assistanta have also managed the receipt
and shipment of coal, and the distribution and
working of the ears, mi as to give very general sa
tisfaction to alt dealing with the company; and it '
will be seen, with pleasure, that the arrangements ;
and conducting of the business have diminished
the cost per ton for car and landing expenses, as
compared with the year 1856.
The wharves at Greenwich point, on the Dela
ware river, leased by the company, have not yet
been used to their full capacity. Tho branch of
business they are intended for is gradually in
creasing by canal ; and although it is not probable
that. it will, for some time, equal that which can
he 'carried on directly by boats, without reship•
mut, these wharves enable our customers to en
largo and diversify their trade. The shipment
from them has been, so far, satisfactory, and, when
fully occupied, they will be made self-supporting,
and. probably, at a lower rate than is now charged
for receiving and shipping coal.
In order to correct an impreasion that prevails
to some extent, we would state that these wharves
have not been built at the expense of this com
pany ; our outlay upon them has been entirely for
fixture? and inaohinery for doing business, a large
proportion of which would be available elsewhere,
should the parties to the existing arrangements
find; it expedient to make any change at the expira
tion of the leases

CIRSERAL BUSMEN&
The affairs of the company now stand en a very
different footing from that occupied in 1837. Then
it held practically a monopoly of the Schuylkill
coal trade, and the business had but little detail ;
now, the trade is complicated by changes which
have come in with the railway system, and the
company is obliged to furnish coal cars, landings,
boats, and shipping agents.
These changes have called for an increase of
officers, who require skill, industry, and Integrity;
and the company has been so fortunate as to se.
cure, in its treasurer, secretary, collectors, clerks,
and boat agents, those who feel a lively interest in
its service, and attend faithfully to their ditties.
They are entitled to our commendation, and we
thus give it publicly and cheerfully
We annex the usual abstracts of accounts and
statements of tonnage, and hope that the manage
ment of 1858 may be able to present to you an
equal or greater total of business, with a more
profitable result.

TM; TRAGEDY NT BRUNSWICK, GA.—Elan:so
ScSN}:.—We have already given a brief account
of a desporatu affray in Brunswick, Ga., on the
evening of the 24th December, which resulted in
the death of Jacob W Moore, a representative
in the State Legislature. The rencounter took
place in a public meeting at the Academy, which
had boon called by Carey W. Styles, the conserva
tive candidate for mayor. Ho was making a speech
denouncing a local bill passed by the Legislature,
when the Interruption took plaee. The letter
says
Mr. Moore interrupted the speaker by rising,
with his hand in his vest, and saying : If you say
that I have done anything dishonorable, it is a
falsehood." Wheieupon Mr. Styles, having ceased,
turned in the dictation of Mr. Moore, hurled back
the falsehood in granger language, and placed his
hand upon his pistol. Mr. Moore retorted, and
drew. The next moment both gentlemen leveled
their pistols and fired, without effect. Then com
menced a scone of confusion which it would be im
possible to describe, but which you may imagine
when you learn the fact that many persons were
sitting between the combatants. The firing con
tinued between the gentlemen above mentioned,
and others, until six or seven sheta were discharg
ed—our worthy Mayor, James Houston, being one
of the persons who fired at Mr. Styles. All at
once Mr. Moore was heard to utter groans and cries
of distress. The lights were sttuok out, and the
writer made all haste to leave, with the most of
the crowd. Mr. Moore was discovered to be shot
In the abdomen, and died in about one hour after
wards. The next morning Mr. Styles surrendered
himself to the sheriff, and now awaits his exami
nation.
Cincinnati, according to an estimate of the
Gazette, has a population of 244.000 inhabitants,
an increase in ten years of over 87,000. The value
of manufactures and Industry is set down at

[Reported for The Press.]
Derasr OF A FILIBLIATER.—Mro. DOIVAB Blake,
a widow- lady, residing in that semi-rural district
at the extreme end of South Thirteenth street,
complained that a fine gander belonging to her
had been foully " done to death" by Solomon
Thomas. The latter, a youth of fifteen years, ap.,
peered in court with his mother, and manifested a
very contrite spirit during the development of the
following facts:
Solomon belongs to an association of youths, all
about his own ago, who are in the habit of assem
bling at corners and door-steps in Thirteenth street,
and who, by some short-sighted denizens or that
locality. are called " a gang of very bad boys." In
reality, however, this is nothing more nor less than
revolutionary society, whose aim is to emancipate
Cuba, by chalking the " lone star" on board fences
and pig-styes, and shouting Ilooray for Lop-
ears !" as a compliment to the memory of General
Lopez But oven these measures are not stirring
enough to satisfy the ambition of young Solomon
Thomas, who last evening harangued his compeers
(as they sat loaning against Mrs. Blake's garden.
fence) on the propriety of starting for Cuba forth
with, and making a warlike demonstration in that
island.
"Boys," says the youthful liberator, "I've got
a gun that wants nothing but the trigger to make
it a complete shooting-iron ;—and if you are all as
well armed as I am, we can easily skeer them
Spaniards, who never get anything to eat except
garlic and Spanish buns, and they are all saleratue
and bad currants. To-be-suro, the Spanish flies
can raise blisters—but I rather think they havn't
brought any of them into Cuba yet. So there is
nothing to make us afeared. When we get there,
we'll strike down every Spaniard we see, just so."
was we....—„ r
near the hour when all welßoliettakeln ender
the feathered class, retire to rest. Solomon, to il
lustrate the mode of treatment he intended for the
Dons, knocked down the bird with a single blow of
hue truncheon. But the gander, being a fowl of
wonderful spirit, soon recovered his legs and
made a rush at his assailant. " Hide, blushing
glory," hide the fact that the heroic filibuster
turned and fled! The gander, with a hiss of scorn
and defiance, pursued and harassed the foe in the
roar with furious bites, until a brick-bat, hurled
by one of Solomon's cronies, laid the enraged bird
dead on the spot.
Mrs. Blake, who had been roused by the yells of
the party when they saw their chief pursued, came
out and charged Solomon with the death of her
gander. But, as it appeared that Solomon did not
throw the brick-bat, and as Mrs. B. could not be
certain who did throw it, she was disappointed in
obtaining legal redress, and Solomon departed,
probably reflecting more soberly on the dangers of
filibustering.
SINGULAR DISCOVERY IN HortrtcourottE.—An
Italian florist is said to have made the discovery
that delightful fragrance may be bestowed upon
plants naturally igodorous by the following singu
lar
means : =ln order to attain this object, the
roots are covered with fragrant manures. Thus,
with a decoction of macs the disooverer has been
enabled to give to the rhododendron the perfect
fragrance of the rose. In order to secure a sue- I
eessful result, it is necessary to treat the seeds of '
the plant to which it is desired to give fragrance.
They are steeped two or three days in the required
essence, then dried in the shade, and shortly after
wards sewn. If it is desired to change the natural
odor of the plant for ono more agreeable or more
desirable, the strength of the essence is doubled or
tripled, and a change must be made in the nutri
tion of the plant. In order to make the artificial
odor permanent, the plant must besprinkled and
dampened with the essence several days in the
spring for two or three years. And thus, also, it
is said, a gardener may at his pleasure cause dif
ferent plants or trees to share their odors with
each other, by boring through the stalk, or trunk,
or root an opening into which to pour the fragrant
ingredients.
The Northampton Courier vouches for the
truth of a statement that a dog, sold in Canada by
a resident of Vermont, a y ear or two since, waited
until the St. Lawrence river bed tram over, tra
velled back to his old home, a distance of more than
a hnialrod miles, and then, being ordered back by
hie former master, returned to his quarters in the
Queen's dominions, where ha has MlOO remained,
a faithful subject.

God Tempers the Wind to the Shorn Lantb. ,,
To the Editor of The Press :
Stn Tour correspondent, "J. S. M." (see
Saturday's issue,) who writes from Newville,
appears at a loss to find the origin of the trite
quotation--" God tempers the wind to the
shorn lamb."
I ant inclined to think that the expression
is of French origin, and that its antiquity dates
back so far as to be beyond the power of
tracing. The Beaton Courier, who boasts it
self as being thoroughly au fail in such mat
ters, speaks of having seen a French dic
tionary, published in 1750, which contains the
expression—" brebis fondue Dieu ',lmre le
rent."
I have a Fiench dictionary of Chambaud,
date 1776, which, under the word " mesurer,"
cites the same expression as an old pro
verb."
In Sterne's " Sentimental Journey," pub
lished originally in 1768, in the chapter treat
ing of the village of Molina, the eccentric au
thor puts the expression into the mouth of
" poor Maria," thus :
" Sim bad since that, she told me, strayed
as tar as Rome, and walked round St. Peter's
once, and returned back ; that she found her
way alone across the Appenines ; had travelled
over all Lombardy without money, and through
the flinty roads of Savoy without shoes. How
she had borne it, and how she had got sup
ported, she could not tell; but God tempers
the winds, said Maria, to the shorn lamb."
The 'Mlles above given arc Ste-rue's own, and
this confirms the idea that the writer was
merely translating an expression he had doubt
less heard somewhere upon his journey.
