Zig 1.41041)...ft.egi51cc. Allentowp, Pa. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1849. Circulation near 2000. V. B. PALMER, Esq., N. W. corner of Third and Chesnut streets, Philadelphia, and 169 Nas sau street, (Tribune Buildings,) New York, is our authorized Agent for receiving advertise ments and subscriptions to the Lehigh Register and collecting and receipting for the same. lar We invite the attention of our readers, to the sale of the real estate of Mr. James S. Lee, which is to come of on Friday next, the 2nd of November. The property is situated in the south western part of the borough, and will be sold whole or in lots, as it may suit purchas ers. The buildings are nearly new, very con venient, and the lots have on them the best of fruit. It is worthy the attention of capitalists. 127" We would further claim the attention to another sale of real estate, on Saturday next; the property formerly owned by the Rev. Mr. German, deceased, Thie- is also a very valua ble estate. The buildings are new,.and put up with a view solely to convenience. The lot is planted with the best ot fruit trees and grape vines. Persons wishing to purchase property in Allentown, will do well to attend the above sales. An Extra We this Week issued a quarter sheet extra filled with advertisements, which enabled us to fill the whole of our first side with interest ing reading matter, to whidh we would draw the aitention of our readers. Reported Bank Failure The New York Tribune of Monday last, has the following notice : "The agent of the Susquehanna Bank, in Wall street, stopped redeeming to-day, and 50 cents is the best price offered for the notes. The amount afloat here is considerable. An express was sent to the bank this afternoon, with a considerable amount of notes for redemp tion. This bank has recently changed hands, and the failure is probably a bad one. Thomp son's Bank Note Reporter, which put the pub lie on its guard against this bank, also recom mends that the public should not receive the notes of the Salisbury Bank, the State Bank of Morris, N. J., the Exchange Bank, Wash ington, D. C., and the James Bank, of this State." We would also add that of the Delaware City Bank, which has for some time been in bad repute, and as the saying is "doubtful things are very uncertain," we would advice our friends to keep hands off. The Next Congress The gain of a Democratic member of Con gress in Maryland leaves it entirely uncertain which of the two parties will have a majority in the House of Representatives. If the elev en members yet to be elected should be of the same politics as those representing the same districts in the last Congress, there would be, in a full House, a Whig majority of one. The parties now stand 113 Whigs, 107 Democrats. To be elected 11, which in the last Congress were divided 8 Democrats and 3 Whigs. If these 11 should be politically of the same char acter, the House will stand 116 Whigs, 115 Democrats. The States to elect are Mississip pi and Louisiana, with a vacancy in Massa chusetts, which it is doubtful, if it will be filled at all, and one in Virginia. The first was rep resented in the last Congress by a Whig, and the latter by a Democrat. The Massachusetts vacancy will, if filled, be by a Whig. The Late Foreign News The recent news from the old world leaves us in a fearful uncertainty for the future. Will Russia make war on Turkey because the "Grand Turk" is Christian enough to shelter the Hungarian republicans from murder at the hands'of the Russian Emperor? If yes, then all Europe and some of Asia is plunged in a grand war. The finances of tho loading nations of the old World, and, in a measure, of this country, must be affected by the doeisicin of Russia. Already capitalists are looking for American Stocks, and our market is getting quite cleared of the most desirable kinds. By a recant publication in the Tribune, it is shown that one-third of our government indebt edness is already held in Europe; and the amount now going abroad is not less than $lOO,OOO per week. If France and England becqme involved in the TurkiA controversy * whir Russia, our relations with thotte nations will surely remain amicable,• hence we may fairly count upon high prices and great activi ty in all departments of business. MTh° Post Master Getieral has established a new Post Office, at Zionsville, in Upper Mil ford township, ,Lehigh county, and appointed Charles IV. Wieandf,.Esq., as Post Master. Also a new Office at Cross Kill Mills, in Berks county, and J. Netecoinb, Esq., appointed Post Master. The American Literary Gazelle and Lan e:tater Farmer.—We notice in the last number of this valuable exchange paper, published in the City of Lancaster, that the enterprising publisher, has secured the services of Mrs. Ly dia Jane Pierson, one of the most celebrated fe male writers in the country, who in connection with. the present able editor Mr. Albert J. Wil liams, will in future conduct the editorial de partment of the paper. With such talent in store, the 'paper cannot fail to' become one of the best published in the State. For the Lehigh itegister. Youth and Age. Human life is a.series of develepements, and at each period some new, power is unfold ed ; new experiences are likewise added, by Which means not only are old prejudices fre quently-corrected, but the errors of our former conduct exposed, condemned, and punished. Youth is proverbially rash, bat The aged may show an equally dangerous rashness in hold ing doggedly to old and worn-out notions.— Accustomed to venerate what has existed for generations without challenge, the olderclass of persons are prone to oppose the slightest attempt at modification, and they suffer ac cordingly. Many a warning, in the course of events, is received; yet age is obstinate, and persists in the old course—not because it is right, but because it is old. The association of ideas, sympathy, determination of character, a sense of pride, while it recognises the peril, and other liko motives, induce ago to, disregard the symptoms, and inspire it with courage, to endure martyrdom, rather than in cur the shame of a submission to change.— Thus the inveterate controversialist will not confess a proven truth though convinced.— Meditating these facts, we are sometimes tempted to believe,. that if the prudetice of age could be added to the impulse of youth, a great advantage might be gained for the in -dividual. But a - difficulty exists agamat blend ing them in one and the same person. Hap py, however, is the man who benefits by the dear-bought experience of his elders; who, duly influenced by the example of those who are not only aged, but also, good and wise, has learned, without suffering, what to avoid, and what to pursue. The counsel of a sage mentor in a parent, grandfather, or great un cle, cannot fail of being advantageous in many important respects; but on the other hand, there are many counterbalancing disadvan tages; the young are enterprising—the old prefer safety to victory, peace to anxiety. In advising youth, old persons accordingly re gard rather the dangers to be escaped than the object to be attained. This, in the way of caution, may, must be well ; but if it amount to coercion, even in the slightest degree, it cannot fail to have evil consequences. If in stead of persuading or guiding the judgement, it should substitute a control upon the volition of the young, it will fatally preclude action, stopping it at its very source. We have not in such a case, combination, but mere dis— placement : young impulse is altogether put aside, and antique prudence takes exclusive possession. Among the many advantages derived from a frequent intercourse with the world, may be mentioned a knowledge of character, to which we should otherwise be total strangers. We do not mean a knowledge of those characters only who are present, and with whom we converse, but of others who are absent and become the topic of discourse in the existing circle. Never yet was• there a woman really im proved in attraction by mingling with the motley throng of the beau monde. She may learn to dress better, to step more gracefully ; her head may assume a more elegant turn, her conversation become more polished, her air more distinguished; but in point of attrac tion she acquires nothing. Her simplicity of mind departs; her generous, confiding impul ses of character' re lost ; she is no longer in clined to interpret favorably of men or things —sue listens without believing—sees without admiring; has suffered persecution without learning mercy; and been taught to mistrust the candor of others by the forfeiture of her own. Senate and House Hon. Win. F. Packer of Lycoming county, is recommended by a number of our Democratic exchange papers, as Speaker of the Senate. This gentleman has filled the same chair in the House,. with much dignity, and we have no doubt the popularity he has gained as presid ing officer in the House, will go far to advance his chance to the same office in the Senate. For Speaker in the House, we see the names of Hon. J. M. Porter : of Northampton, J. N. Cunningham and Andrew Beaumont, of Lu verne, and several oilier gentlemen mentioned. No better selection we think could be made than Judge Porter. As a Legislator he is ex perienced, and in point of talent and as a pub lic dctmator, is not excelled by any member in the House. Mr. Porter, we have no doubt, would prefer being on the floor when his ser vices would be more benefiCial to his cause. The Tariff, and Specific Duties. It is said by Washington borrespondenis : who pretend to be well informed, that Mr. Secretary Merredith is understood to be engag• ed in preparing a laborious volume upon the Tariff in which ...he argues in favor of specific duties: He has written to all thecollectors for information upon this, and kindred subjects. We have reason to believe that the Report of Mr. Merredith will fully satisfy the people of Pennsylvania, and meet the views of fair and adequate Protectionists in every section of the Union. When the Message and accompany ing documents reach the • next Congress, we shall then know whether there is or is not to be a compromise upon this subject. Consolidation. They talk of consolidating the city and coun ty of Philadelphia. Sectional jealousies lead to a lukewarm performance of duty on the part of the police authorities. Several serious riots have - tiiken place, and the offenders have not been brought to justice, because the city police and the district police are engaged in discussing a question of jurisdiction. They want somebody to say—"Pll take the reipon sibility."—Dem. Union. Indiana Convention.—The vote at the recent election, in Indiana, in favor of a convention to revise the Constitution of the State, was 81,500, and the vote against the. convention, 57,418. . Kentucky State Convention. Judging from . the resolutions offered, and propositions made, in the Kentucky Conven tiim. now sitting, we infer that the new consti tution, when completed, will - be essentially ditlerent from the present one, and vastly more Republican. If is likely that the judicial and all other officers will be made elective ; and there seems to be a disposition not only to do this ; but to limit the enjoyment of judicial ap-. .pyintments to a definite , number of years— eight are proposed. It seems, therefore, that the fallacy, that judges must be in for life, be appointed by the executive, and be indepen dent of the people, is likely to find no favor in the Convention; and we know not why it should find any. We cannot understand why an elective judiciary may• not be as able as pure, and as•independent, as one of executive manufacture. Wherever the experiment has been tried, it has been found not only to an swer, but to answer well. The question-concerning slavery will only be, whether the legislature shall be left free to legislate on the subject, in connection with emancipation in any shape, or whether -the power to emancipate shall be reserved to the people, and that they can only do so by form ing another constitution, Steadiness of Purpose. In whatever you engage pur.stie it with a steadiness of purpose, as though you were de teimined to succeed. A vacilating mind nev accomplished anything worth naming. There is nothing like a fixed, steady aim. It digni fies your nature and insures your success. Who have done the most for mankind? Who have secured the rarest honors? Who have raised themselves from poverty to riches? Those who were steady to their purpose. The man who is one thing to-day, and another to morrow—who drives an idea pell-mell this weekwhile it drives him the next—is al ways in trouble, and does just nothing from one year's end to the other. Look and ad mire the man of steady purpose. He moves noiselessly along, and yet what wonders he accomplishes. He rises—gradually we grant— but surely. The beavens are not too high for him, neither are the stars beyond his reach. How worthy of imitation. Duelling in Kentucky We see it stated that a proposition has been submitted to the Kentucky Convention having for its object the suppression of the practice of duelling. It proposes to prohibit all persons, ,both principals and accessaries, who may here after be engaged in duels, trum holding any office in the commonwealth. If such a provi sion should be incorporated in the constitution about to be framed, it woud doubtless have a greater effect in suppressing the practice than all the laws which have heretofore been enact ed upon the subject. Old and New Members. On looking over the list of members elect to the next House, we observe that there are twenty-four members elected to the Legis lature, who were members of the last House. In addition to these there are some six or eight who have been members of the House at some former 'period. Amongst the new members we notice that there are several gen tlemen on both sides possessing great talents and abilities, so that we may expect the House to compare very favorable with preceding Houses. Ohio The Senate in this State, consists of 36 mem bers; 16 of whom are IVhigs, 16 Democrats, and four Free Soil. The free soil men are Messrs. Swift, Beaver, Blake, and Randall-,-. the first of whom was a Democrat, and the three latter Whigs, before inoculated with free soilry. The House consists of 72 members; 33 of whom are Democrats, 31 of whom are Whigs, 6 Free Soilers, anti two Independents. The Free .Soilers are Messrs. Krum and Ensign of Ashtabula and Lake, l'atton, from Clinton, Spel man from Summit, and Riddle and Hutchins from Geauga and Trumbull : Of these Messrs. Ensign, Patton, :Spelman, and Riddle, - were Whigs before taken of Free Soilry, and Krum and Hutchins were Democrats. The Inde pendents are Messrs. Johnson of Monroe, and Minster of Butler. Penns-Amnia Editorial Convention.—The Har risburg Union gives a list of 33 newspaper ed itors who have determined to unite in the ed itorial State Corivention at Harrisburg on theBih of November. UTA California newspaper has elicited the following speculations from the London Times: Before us lies a real Californian newspaper, with all its politics, paragraphs, and advertise. ments, printed and published at Bab Francisco. on the 14th of last June. In a literary or profes sional point of view, there is nothing very re markable in this production. Journalism is a science so intuitively comprehended. by Ameri can citizens; that their most rudimeithry efforts in this line are sure to be tolerably successful. Newspapers are to them what theatres and cafes are to Frenchmen. In the Mexican war the oc cupation of each successive town by the invading army was signalised by the immediate establish ment of a weekly journal anti of a 'bar' for retail ing those spirituous compounds known by the generic denomination of 'American drinks.'— The same fashions have been adopted In Califor nia, and the opinions of the American portion of that strange population are already represented by journals of more than average ability and in telligence. Culture of the Grupe.—lt apritrs from an ar ticle in the .Adler; that there are in forks coun ty 240 acres of land, devoted to the culture of the grape. The•kind principally planted is the Isa bella, from which an inferior kind of wine is made, which forms quite a common drink in ,Iteadin:7 of the small lakes with which that section of country abounds, and blasts and puddling fnrna ces erected, and heavy trip-hammers. A new furnace is at this time in process of erection, to meet the increasing demand for accommodation. The ore is here converted into bar iron and trans ported to the Company's works in Jersey City, to be manufactured into steel. Its adaptedness to this purpose was ascertained by Joseph Dixon, Esq. of Jersey City, after a protracted series of experiments made with reference to that object. He succeeded in the use of anthracite—supposed by experienced English manufacturers impossi ble and then applied himself to the manufacture of black-lead crucibles possessing sufficiently pow erful refractory qualities to withstand the heat of anthrfitite furnaces. In this too he was success ful, and his pots are now in use in England and elsewhere, by the first artisans. As the result of all this, the Adirondac Company set about build ing furnaces &c., in Jersey City, under his direc tion, at an outlay of not far from $150,000. In these, the steel is broken into small pieces, and put into sixteen crucibles of a capacity of forty to 60 pounds, which are placed in as many small furnaces whose tops are even with the surface , of the floor. After the laps of two hours, their molden contents are poured into Ingo-moulds of various sizes. The steel is than readily drawn out upon being re-heated, under heavy hammers into bars of any desired shape or size. Ordina rily, four heats are obtained from these furnaces daily. The English procure three per day, with difficulty. The steel thus manufactured is now largely in demand, and its superior qualities are abundantly testified to by the proprietors of the Novelty Works, by Secor & Co. and many others. We understand says the Reading Journal, that a serious riot occurred in this city on Monday evening, the 22d ult., at the conclusion of the per. fbrmances of Spalding & Rogers' Circus, between the attaches of that concern, and the more rowdy portion of our own citizens. There are various accounts with regard to the origio of the linens —one that the attack was premeditated on the part of the Reading 'b'hoys,' and another that the men belonging to the circus manifested a bullying spirit and provoked the attack by seve ral flagrant acts of Violence. However the af fair originated, it seems to have been quite a se rious one. In - the melee -stones were thrown, canvass and ropes cut, wagons battered and heads bruised. The circus men finally resorted to fire arms; one or two shots were discharged, without effect, and a man named Samuel Fretz, so severely beaten with the butt end of a musket, that he is not expected to recover. Our 'efficient police' from all accounts main tained an 'unarmed neutrality' while the fight was going on—not even showing 'fair play' to the belligerents. Like the'•devoted' woman, whose husband was struggling with the bear, they were disposed, it seems, to let things take their course, without caring much which party came off vic torious. Mr. Elias Bickel, of Centre township, Berks county, who has given much of his attention to the progress of the culture of the Vine in Berks county, gives our neighbors of the 'Ad ler' an estimate that' in the townships of Cen tre, Richmond, Windsor, Bern, Penn, North Heidelberg, Cumru and Alsace, and also in the neighborhood of Reading, an aggregate of not less• than 246 acres of ground are planted in Vineyards: Besides these, there. are Miters laid out in.Brecknock, Oley and other parts of the county.—Reading Gazdte.

The following interesting description of the successful manufacture of steel, at prices which compete with the English article, and in "quality' superior for some purposes, is from the Journal of Commerce, It shows what union of energy, economy, judgement and enterprise may effect in difficUlt and expensive branches of manufaCture, with the aid of a little Government protection. Steel is an article that enters into the composi lion of, the implements, or the materials, or both of almost every useful occupation. Its instru mentality is every where conspicious. Yet; there is scarcely'an essential of National supply in which the American people are more deficient. To supply our wants, we must needs resort to the markets of the English, and they to the ore-beds of Sweden or Russia. From native iron, they man ufactuie comparitively little steel. With the ex ception of the Ulveestone charcoal—iron, no bars' are manufactured in Great Britain capable ofcon version into steel, at all approaching in quality that from the Madras,Swedish and Russian irons, so largely imported for the purpose. Yet we, with a great variety of magnetic ores embosnm ed within our own cliffs, some of them fully equal to the best Swedish . have, until very re cently, failed to compete successfully in our own market with the imported article. Various attempts had been made, but Without success un til the establishment of the Adirondac Steel _ Worics_in_Jersey City.- Although these — works are comparitively in their infancy, having been in operation only since last January, the article produced is preferred, at the same price for many purposes, to the best English cast steel. Follow ing up a suggestion, received while examining some sprciments from these works, exhibiting at the present Fair of the American Institute, we have recently visited, and are consequent ly enabled to speak of them from personal notice. The ore used is procured from Essex county, in this State, at the sources of the Hudson, at an altitude of 5,000 feet, among the Adirondac Mountains, and about 50 miles West from Lake Champlain. Large expenditures have been made by the proprietors, Archibald Mclntyre, of Albany, Archibald Robertson, of Philadelphia and the late David Henderson, of Jersey City, for the purpose of developing the immense min eral resources of that region. The quantity ex posed is greater than can be consumed for cen turies, and is worked like an ordinary granite quarry.

All Authori ties agree we believe, that cousins of every grade whether first or fiftieth, must stand in the degree of descent from the common ancestor. We have heard it contended, that the child of one's cousin, should be denominated a cousin nephew or cousin-niece and the analogy of nom enclature would indicate that the cousin of one's parent should be called cousin uncle or cousin aunt. The Newark Daily Advertiser contains acorn munication, whiels determins the question as fol lows : That to constitute a new grade of cousinship there Mint be a change of consanguinity on both sides—or, as it is. expressed in England, there must re a remove on both sides. The chil dren of parents who are cousins are second cous ins, the children ofsecond cousins are third cous ins—but when the relatirinship is changed only on one side—(as in the connection between a child and the first cousin of his parent) is a first or second cousinship 'once removed.' Thus the relationship between the grand children of one brother,. and the great-grand children of an other would be that of second cousins once re moved ;—the grand children of bi-others, being second cousins and the great•grand•children third cousins." Chicago and Milwaukie The increased population and trade in these two cities will appear from the following statis- In 1840 Chicago had 4,853 inhabitants—in 1848 it contained 19,725. In 1843 there were shipped from Chicago 828,565 bushels of wheat and 10,785 barrels of flour—in 1848 only five years later, there were shipped 2,160,000 bush els of wheat, and 45,200, barrels of flour. The first shipment of wheat wasin 1839, and the first export of beef wail in 1838. In 1848 the export of beefand porlcums 29,200 barrels. In 18421 he export of wool was 1,500 pounds, and in 1848 it wits 981,400 petrds. In 1839 the value . of the ugregale.exports was 01,04 and in sro;- .Tho, growth of lifilwapkie is still more rapid'.
