By Daniel Fuller.
We arc indebted to E. C. & J. lliddle,
No. G South Fifth Street, Philadelphia,
for a conv of the above work. It con-
tains valuable information, particularly
for the young, for whom it is designed,
and may prove useful, as a book of ref
erence, even for persons of mature age.-
We should like to sec it introduced into
our public schools, as it will enable our
teachers to place before their pupils a
brief but comprehensive exposition of the
Executive, Legislative, and Judicial de
partments of our system of government,
lucidly arranged, and depicted in lau-
cuagc so familiar as to bring it within the
intellectual grasp of the unlearned.
Efcjj- Some excitement prevails in this
usual quiet place, owing to the mysterious
disappearance of Miss Jane Delong, a
worthy daughter of Mr. John Delong, a
citizen of this Borough. She left home a
bout 11 o'clock on Saturday evening last,
and has not been heard of since. Her
paronts are greatly distressed at her
strange and sudden disappearance.
Jgsjr On Monday night last, a number
of the hands employed on the line of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Westren
Jlnilroad, in the vicinity of the Analomink
Porge, got into a fight, in which two or
three of the combatants got severely pun
ished. Three persons were arrested on
Tuesday morning, and brought before
Esquire Burnett, and after a hearing
were committed to Jail.

The National Intelligencer gives the
following description of the cash-box in
which Uncle Sam keeps his change at
New York:
The 2ew York Subtreasury now con
tains 10,000,000 in gold and a few hun
dreds in silver coin. The safe containing
the coin is kept in the custom-house, and
is composed of double sheets of iron,
strengthened by cross-bars or latice work
of cast steel rods, between which no in
strument can cut or file. The safe is fif
teen feet long, eight wide, and about as
many feet high. It is divided into two
apartments, in the inner one of which the
money is deposited; and it has three thick
iron doors, each having two locks, the
keys to which are distributed at night a
mong the different clerks, the Assistant
Treasurer keeping himself the register of
the principal key, so that the safe cannot
be unlocked unless all are present. On
the sides of the safe are tiers of boxes,
capable of holding in all nine millions
six hundred thousand dollars. They are
now filled with coin, which is put up in
bags of five thousand dollars each, except
few containing small amounts for con
venience in making payments. The
weight of the ten millions of gold now in
custody is eighteen and three quarter
tons.

in which there is no change. Omar Pashas,
summons to the Russians has been pub

Gorfcschakoff s reply is short and boorish.
Hostilities were expected to commence
on the 2fith. Both armies continued to
make active preparations. Abdel Kadcr
is offered the command of the Turkish
forces, but he awaits permission from the
French Government. The Turks are
voluntarily pouring immense treasures
into the Treasury. The combined fleets
of England and France have been ordered
to the Dardanelles, but are not to entor
the Black Sea, except on the hostile ad

Mysterious Afiair.
One evening last week a middle aged
woman applied at several Hotels in the
lower part of our town, for lodging, sta
ting that she had no money and would
be compelled, if they did not keep her,
to lay out all night. She had an infant,
a boy about three months old, in her arms,
and as her appearance was not very pre
possessing the proprietors of the hotels
declined keeping her. As she was going
out ofBrotzman's hotel, a gentleman sit
ting in the bar-room took pity on her and
told her she might go home with him.
He took her to his house and gave her a
bed. During the night she got up and
made her way out of the house, leaving
the young patriot in the room, (as a small
memento, we presume, of her effection and
esteem, for the kindness of her host in
providing her with quarters,) and has not
made her appearance. Next morning the
youngster wa3 named uBiv.ler Pierce" by
the unanimous consent of the., neighbors,
and taken to the poor house. Who knows
what destiny awaits the little stranger ?
He may grow up a Napoleon Bonaparte
or a Daniel Webster. Boston Argus.
Immense Railroad Receipts. The.
Erie Railroad receipts for October have
been of unprecedented magnitude; no
less than $225,809 from passengers and
mails; 327,180 from freights total oo2,-
995. This is an increase of 8170,000
over the same month last year. The
Hudson River Railroad receipts were
153,253 an increase of near 850,000
from the last year.
I. n. S. These letters arc seen in the
Catholic and Episcopal Churches, and in
the prayer-books of these sects. They
are abbreviations of the Latin phrase,
"Jesus Hominum Salvator," which, signi
fies, "Jesus the Savior of men." Some
may ask why the letter I is used instead
of J? Because formerly there was no let
ter J in the alphabet; then I was used
where J now is. Many of our readers
can probably remember having seen the
name of John spelled lohn.
The Arrest of Yankee Ei!!iva.ss.
New York, Nov. 5. Yankee Sulli

Court, before Judge Edwards. The
Judge ordered the prisoner to be sent to
Massachusetts for trial.

Death of the Sleeping Mas.
Cornelius Vrooman died at his broth
er's residence in Clarksen, on Monday
the 17th ult. While on exhibition to New
York he was taken sick, which seemed to
induce a wakeful state for a short period,
and then a stupid condition, with inter
vals of wakefulness, until he was brought
ho me on the 14th. He talked very little,
inquiring after his mother, who had been
dead two years, his father and brothers,
whom he seemed partially to recognise.
He complained of great internal heat,
aud soreness of his throat and stomach.
On the morning of the day of his death
he called for food, and ate a hearty meal,
and from that time seemed to be in pain,
until about 2 o'clock P. M., when he died
without a struggle. His age was thirty
four years.

Immense Siore at Honey.
John Linn, of this place, informs us
that he visited the Water Gap on Wed
nesday last, and that the workmen on the
Gap Railroad when blastiner rocks from
the side of the mountain came upon a lot
of honev, which lie sunDoses the bees have
been depositing there for hundreds of
years. Alter a large blast, made some
time ago, a stream of honey commenced
runuing at about the rate of 50 barrels a
day. Everything was brought in re
quisition to catch the precious article, but
failing in obtaining a sufficient supply,
the stream turned itself into the Delaware,
which accounts for the suddcnrise in the
river recently. He does not know but it
may dam up the water so that they will form
an immense lake or overflow the moun
tains on either side. Mr. L.. sunDoses it
possible that honev enousrh mavbe caught
if advantageously disposed of, to build the
Delaware valley Railroad.

A Russian Priest's Sermon on the
Comet.
The comet which has lately been visi
ble has served a priest not far from War
saw with materials for a very curious ser
mon. After bavins sumomoncd his con-
gregation together, although it was nei
ther Sunday nor festival, and shown them
the comet, he informed them that this was
the same star that had appeared to the
magi at the birth of our Saviour, and that
it was only visible now in the Russian
empire, its appearance on this occasion,
was to intimate to the Russian Eagle that
the time was now come for it .to spread
out its wings and embrace all mankind in
one orthodox and sanctifying church.
He showed them that the star wa3 now
standing immediately over Constantino
ple, and explained that the dull light of
the nucleus indicated its sorrow at the
delays of the Russian army in proceeding
to its destination, etc.
Tobacco.
The total produce of tobacco grown on
the face of the globe has been calculated
to amount to two millions of tons which
weighs as much as the wheat consumed
annually by ten millions of Englishmen,
and is worth in money as much as all
the wheat eaten in Great Bnttain. The
largest producers, and probably the
largest consumers of tobacco, arc the U-
nited btatcs ot America. The amount
grown in our country in 1840 was estima
ted at 19,163,319 pounds; in 1850, at
lvv ,o ()46 pounds, being about one-
twentieth part of the produce of the globe.
The Apple Trade.
Some idea of the value of apples, says
the Rome Sentinel, as an article of profit
to tho farmer, may be found in the fact
that no less than 17,000 barrels have
been purchased by two buyers, chiefly in
the towns of Kirkland, Marshall, and
Augusta, and shipped east' to market.
The amount received ia probably about
20,000.
The Rochester Union says tho crop of
this valuable fruit is light in that section.
Buyers for tho Eastern markets have
been active in purchasing the products of
many orchards. No less than 500 bar
rels were shipped by canal from that
city eastward in the last two days. The
prices paid have been about 1.25 per
barrel.
The Crystal Palace. The Direc
tors of the New York Crystal Palace have
resolved to keep the exhibition open thro'
the winter, instead of closing it in De
cember, as they had previously contem
plated. It is said that from the first of
September to the present day, tho receipts
have been highly satisfactory, averaging
four thousand dollars or more a day,
while tho current expenses are but S000.
The receipts of the fortnight ending on
the 22d ult., were 858,000.
Mammoth Eel. A large mud eel was ex
hibited in the Fulton fish market, New
York, on Friday morning. It weighed
sixteen lbs. and measured five foot in
length. This is a true fish story. And
to oap the climax, Wyman, the ventrilo
quist, being present; asked the man how
old the eel was, when tho eel, to the as
tonishment of tho man, repliod "six'teon
years." This pleased the crowd, but the
man was about abounding tho monster,
when the joke was explained to him.
Terrific Ilsjriioajse hi Jicallc
1cjc, i73exico.--Tae Frencli Col
ony Destroyed.
The Trait cP Union publishes corres
pondence giving the particulars of the
destruction of the French colony of Ji
caltepec, on the 28th of August, by a vio
lent storm. On that day, which was
Sunday, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, a
norther commenced blowing, heavy clouds
which hung above the horizon began to
spread, aud' flew over the sky with in
credible swiftness. Then the rain com
menced falling with extreme violence.
The norther continued bloving all night
till the following morning, without, how
ever, having anything alarming about it,
the rain continuing, in the meantime, to
fall in torrents. At daybreak the wind
changed its direction veering round to
the east, and suddenly commenced blow
ing with unparalleled impetousity. In
less than half an hour the whole village,
and all the residences in its envirions,
forming the French colony, were com
pletely destroyed, the houses falling as it
were by enchantment, with a shocking
crash.
It is imposible to picture the general
desolufcion which presented itself to sight
during the frightful unchained elements.
Distracted families, finding themselves
without shelter, saw themselves every
moment threatened to be crushed under
the falling materials which were sent fly
ing through the air, or else to be thrown
into the river by the gusts of this terrible
hurricane the like of which has never
been seen in these parts. Not only did
it not spare houses, but rushing with fury
over the country and forests, it tore up
everything in its passage chocolate,corn,
coffee, sugarcane, &c. in such a manner
that tbe eye a few minutes afterwards
could see nothing but immense plains
where virgin forests had stood. The
largest trees, such as cedars, oaks and fig
trees, of immense size, were broken and
torn brandh from branch.
To add to the miseries thus caused, the
rain not having ceased to pour down in
torrents since the previous evening, a
sudden overflow of its banks by the river
ensued, and rising twenty-five feet above
its uataral level, rose over the quay of
Jicaltepec and entirely inundated the
opposite bank and the greater part of the
French dwellings of the colony, nouses
and the few estates which the hurricane
had spared, were thus carried away by
the waters.
This was a most trying and desolate
moment for all the families of the colony.
Without shelter, and dreading with rea
son the continuance of the inundation,
some were obliged to construct rafts to
provide for their safety, while others en
deavoring to get to a neighboring hill,
found themselves constrained to traverse
inundated lows spots where tho water
reached to the waist. And there they
were with the fruit of twenty years' labor
and perseverence destroyed, annihilated
in less than an hour. N. O. Picayune,
27th ult.
A Glimpse Behind the Curtain.
A correspondent at the seat of the Fed
eral Government, who professes and
seems to be thoroughly booked up, makes
some singular disclosures in a recent let
ter published in the N. Y. Herald, which,
if true, explain the contradictory letters
of Messrs. Guthrie and Cushing. He
describes the Attorney General as being
the great Mephistophiles of the Adminis
tration, who with Sidney Webster, the
President's private secretary ; Paul
George and Col. Whipple, two of the
Prcsident'3 N. Hampshire chums, and
John W. Forney, constitute the Kitchen
cabinet, which is stronger behind the
throne than the throne itself. These he
says meet every night in a certain room
in the White House, where they have a
glorious time over their oysters and toddy,
and devise the modus operandi -whereby
to crush Marcy and Guthrie, both of
whom he prcdiots they will succeeded in
driving out of the cabinet.
Cushing, the premier of this Kitchen
Cabinet, he says, dislikes Marcy and
Guthrie as vulgar and common-place pol
iticians, whom ho wants tho President to
get rid of as soon a3 possible, and then
become the Premier of the Administra
tion himself, and have his friend, Henry
A. Wise another of the Coporal Guard
of John Tyler's dynasty installed in
the office of Attorney General. His let
ter to Massachusetts, recommending the
proscription of the Free Soilors there,and
swearing his own fidelity, and that of the
President, to the South, is referred to as
indicating these purposes, and as having
no other object than to rally the South
to his support, and against Marcy and
Cushing. We shall not at all be sur
prised if these predictions and statements
be realized.

The month just closed has been very

Discovery of the Northwest
Passage.
One of the most interesting items of
news, by the late arrivals from England,
is the announcement that a pas3agc has
been discovered between the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans, arond the northern
extremity of the American continent.
The great geographical problem of two
hundred years has at last been solved,but
with no other benefit likely to result to
tho world from it, than the establishment
of an interesting fact in science. For
those frozen seas, where vessels would al
ways be liable to be blocked up with ice,
perhaps two or three years, before work
iug their way through, could never be
resortod to for purposes of navigation.
Many lives have been lost in the re
peated attempts to discover the northwest
passage. The earlist account we have,
is that of two Portuguese brothers, by the
name of Cortereal, who, in the sixteenth
century, sailed to the north, but were
never hoard of more. Fifty years after
wards, Sir Hugh Willoughby undertook
to find a route to China by the way of
Labrador, but he perished with his crew,
and their bodies were discovered by tbe
Esquimaux Indians. Sir Humphrey Gil
bert afterwards, in a similar attempt, was
lost off the coast of Newfoundland. And
tho distinguished navigator Hudson, after
discovering the noble river in New York
which bears his name, tried his fortune in
the polar seas, where he discovered and
explored Hudson's Bay. A mutinous
crew here put him and several of his men
into a boat and set them adrift, and they
were never heard of afterwards. Sir
John Franklin and his companions have
now been absent seven years, and but
very small hopes remain that they will
ever be found alive, or even that any
traces of their sad history will be dis
covered.
English navigators have the honor of
making the first discovery .of the north
west passage. These parties had been
out some two years in search of Sir John
Franklin, and had themselves, from not
being heard from, become objects of much
solicitude. Capt. McClure, of the ship
Investigator, was working his perilous
way through from the east, when he at
last met a party from Belmng's Strait's,
Some'of the incidents of their meeting
are described, in the English account, as
follows :
MEETING OF COMMANDER MCCLURE FROM
THE EAST AND LIEUTENANT
MM FROM THE WEST.
The first meeting of Lieutenant Bed
ford Pirn with the party from the Inves
tigator is thus described in a private let
ter irom Captain Kellett, C. B., dated her
Majesty s ship Resolute, Melville Island,
April 19th, 1853:
mi ii it,. -
jluis is reauy a rea-ietter day in our
voyage, and shall be kept as a holiday by
our heirs and successors forever. At
nine o'clock this day our look-out man
made the signal for a party coming in
from the westward; all went to meet them
and assist them in. A second party was
then seen. Dr. Donvillo was the first
person I met. I cannot describe my feel
ings when he told me that Captain Mc
Clure was among the next party. I was
not long in reaching him and giving him
many hearty shakes no purer were ever
given by two men in this world. Mc
Clure looks well, but is very hungry.
His description of Pirn's making the
Harbor of Mercy would have been a fine
subject for the pen of Capt. Marryatt,
were he alive.
'McClure and his first lieutenant were
walking on the floe. Seeing a person
coming very fast towards them, they sup
posed he was chased by a bear, or had
seen a bear. Walked towards him; on
getting onwards a hundred yards, they
could see from his proportions that he
was not one of them. Pim began to
screech and throw up his hands his face
was as black as my hat. This brought
the Captain and Lieutenant to a stand,as
they could not hear sufficiently to make
out his language.
'At length Pim reached the party, quite
besede himself, and stammered out, on
McClure's asking him 'Who are you, and
where do you come from?' 'Lieutenant
Pim, nerald, Captain Kellett.' This was
the more inexplicable to McClure, as I
was the last person he shook hands with
in Behring's Straits. He at length found
that this solitary stranger was a true Eng
lishman an angel of light. He says :
He soon was seen from the ship; they
had only one hatchway open, and the
crew were fairly jammed there in their
endeavor to get up. Tho sick jumped
out their hammocks, and the crew forgot
their despondency; in fact, all was changed
on board the Investigator.'
'McClure had thirty men and three of
ficers fully prepared to leavo for the depot
at Point Spencer. What a disappoint
ment it would havo boeijto go there and
find the miserable yacht Mary with four
or five casks of provisions, instead of a
fino largo depot.
'Another party of seven men were to
have gone by McKenzie, with a request
to the Admiralty to send out a ship to
meet at Point Leopold, in 1854. The
thirty men are on their way over to me
now. I shall, if possible, send them on
to Bccchy Island, with about ten men of
my own crew, to be taken home the first
opportunity.'
Tho despatches from Commander Mc
Clure to his government close with the
following parrgraph:
'Although we have riot succeeded in
obtaining any information which could
throw the slightest clue upon the fate of
our missing countrymen, I hope that the
services performed in the tracing a very
great extent of coast line, the discovery
of much new land a portion inhabited by
a simple- and primitivo people not hither
to known and, above all, the accurate
knowledge of that passage between the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans, whi
so many hundred yoars has baffled Tnar
itimo Europe its very existence bein"
almost considered sceptical will be con
sidered events sufficiently interesting and
important to elicit from their lordships a
favorable consideration o O.V4T services,
