going to the Treasury for a dollar. more than
the ,department already his there: Striking
out the ten tent rate, will produce a reduction
in the revenue of about.one-fourth. The snr
'plus, at the end of the fiscal year . , will supply
this fully. There may be a small deficit the
succeeding year; but if Congress would abol-1
i s h the franking _privilege entirely at. thesp- I
proaching session, there would be none. This
trill not be done however. This privilege will .
never be yielded. Low postage is nown.prac
tical idea. The five cents rate will meet, at ,
the end of 4 years, if Oregon and California
do not consume more than $lOO,OOO over and
above their receipts, the expenditures of the'
department, when, perhaps, a further reduc
tion can be made to three cents; agreeably to
Senator Niles' project. The receipts of the de
partment, for the quarter ending 31st October
last, show an increase of a little over 14 per
cent., compared with the corresponding quar
ter of last year; but about laird this increase,
it is supposed, will have lo be paid toGreat
,Britain, under the Postal Treaty, upon the set
tlement of last quarterly accounts with that
government, as the department will fall con
siderably into debt.

Bank of West Chester
The!Bank of Chester county declared a div
idend of one dollar per share on the capital
stock of the concern, on the 6th instant. \Ven
der if the Bank had not better redeem their
notes now in circulation, without first• asking
individuals to prove that they camelly then*
honestly. It was their ocvn look-out that the
notes were stolen ; and not the public's or note
holders.
The fact of the Chester County Bank refus
ing to redeem its notes,•on the ground of their
having been ri part of the stolen' batch, has-seri
ously effectedthe credit of the bank, and West
ward it is reported as having entirely.
This of course is not the fact. Let no one be
alarmed, or sacrifice a dollar of the money, the
bank is bound to redeem them, or else down
with the concern. Both old 'and new notes are
rejected by some of the business men in this
sec:ion. If the bank persists in not redeem=
ing the old issue let the community refuse ev
ery dollar. Let no one part With them at the
sacrifice of a cent, but drive them home, old
and new, and let the bank make the best of
them. The community should not pay for the
carelessness or accidents of the bank's agents.
From the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin we
learn, that on Saturday morning about 9 o'clock,.
the office of the Agency of the State Bank at
Camden, N. Jersey, No. If: Church Alley, was
entered by means of false keys, and rubbed of
five thousand two hundred and eighteen dol
lars. The office is in the second story room
of the building, , and the robber or robbers
opened the front door below at the foot of the
stairway, and also the door entering into the
office room. The money consisted !principal
ly of the notes of the Camden Bank of small
andlarge denominations, there being in the
amount, duce or four of five hundred dollars.
ft was taken out of an iron chest standing near
the desk of the Agent. The sum taken had
been deposited there but a slant time before
by the Agent, who, as his usual custom is, af
ter bringing the funds limn the Bank;Proceed
ed to make his exchanges withlfanks in the
city. Ile Was absent only about thirty min
utes, during which time fhb robbery•was. per
petrated. A reward of *5OO is offered for the
detection of the robber.
CVThe Philadelphia North American of
Tuesday says: The Camden Dank, since the
late rubbery, has been enabled to withdraw from
circulation all itA ales of $5OO except six, which
ale numbered as follows:-155, 118, 198, 303,
214 and 219; four of which, it is believed, were
stolen. And it is also ascertained that about
$2OOO of the amount stolen Was in nutes of the
denominations of $5O and $lOO dated January
Ist, 1846, and much defaced by use. •
A Mob Quelled by Prayer
The Pittsburg Gazette relates the following
incident, as received from the late Sheriti of the
county, Mr. Forsyth. -11tobs have been quelled
sometimes by discharges of musketry, but we
never before heard of ene subdued by prayer.
Pittsburg mobs must be more reverent than
those of sutne other quarters:
Some time in the course of the past year, he.
Mr. Forsyth,'was called upon to exercise his au
thority for the suppression of a large disorderly
meeting, somewhere in the stibtaW of the city.
At the time of his arrival on the' ground there
was every manifestation of an imMediate and
violent outbreak, and while he was deliberating
about his duty in the premises, he waaapPrOach
ed by the Rev. Mr. Kirkland, Whii aCtetl t se con
spicuous a part in the late trials in-our court,
with the request' that he would let him try the
efficacy of prayer on the excited passions of the
throng. • ; ;
The Sheriff replied that be ;. donbted much ,the
success-uf such an expedignt,,hut, that he was
willing to make the experiment., Kirkland
immediately assumed Relation, a little elevated
above the multitude, and pot:wed:forth, apparent
ly from the fullness of a Christian spirit, a pray
er most appropriate to the .occasion. immetft
ately after he commenced, those around him be-
Oanic calm, some of them very reverently took
oft' their hats, anti When, at the conclusion, he
his hand and,in the, most solemn manner
pronounced 'thehenediction with' which ciongre l

shut out from all society calculated to create

keep the female in ignorance of the many and

of woman, and of the proper exercise of her in

An Aerial Bridge
The New Orleans Clothier of the 12th inst., is
responsible for the following description of a
a hritlge, a model of which is now on exhibition
in that city. Mr. Remington's aerial bridge, if
all the Courier states be true. is just the thing to
span the EaSt River and connect New York and
Brooklyn.
may he remembered that about six months
since Mr. Remington and his seltsupporting
bridge were the subjects of extend and cominen.
datory notice. in the English papers, extraeas
from which were published about that tithe in
the United States.. This gentleman has recently
arrived in this
, city, and 'has erected in the bar
room of Bank's Arcade, for' public inspection, a ,
model of his wonderful bridge. 'lt is,undoubied
ly an extraordinary result of mechanical genius.
The first impression on seeing.it is, that it is"!
constructed on principles, hitherto unknown to
the student of natural philosophy. It certainly
appears to set the laws of gravitation at defianCe.
It extends across the bar4oom, 'a
space of nine
ty-six feet, and is elevated some ten feet from
the thior. Its appearanCe is so fragile, that few
men, judging from 'this alone, would willingly ,
trust themselves upon if. Yet while there a
number of spectators, ire saw ten gentlemen all
together on the centre of this bridge. It will be
noticed that it has no support from the ground.
Its resistance as .well to graviation as to. the
pressure of so manY•persons, being secured by
the principles on which it is constructed. Yet
notwithstanding this great weight,, its deflexure
was very inconsiderable. • ,
..Front a memoradnin handed to us by Reming
ton, it appears, that 'the bridge has a span of 00
feet. • This *ice is crossed by Conf• longitudinal
supportets, each less than one, inch &quote at the
centre, but increasing.gradmilly in size, until at
the ends or pointspf fastening, they are 2t, Inches
square. The bridge has one catenary and two
parabolic curves, by which strength.and beauty
are both secured. 'rite flooring is attached.diai,
iotiallY; and is , made to sustain a portion of the
strain. •The deflexion of the supporters is •22}
inches. Ir is capable of hearing the pressure of
seven tons; while each of the'supporters, °Ceti
pying their place .in the bridge, will sustain a
weight greater than the absolute strength pf the
timber and the direct cohesion of its fibres.
Remington states, dial if one of his bridg.
es were cut through transversly at the centre,
the parts severed would neither sink,nor :tomato
so much as to•render. it impassabie. Re informs
us, besides, that a bridge ,on this principle. eoujd
be made to span a space of a mile and a Half.. .

Lighbthig Conductor.—Ari interesting example
of the value of lightning conductors occurred at
Glogan, in Silesia, in- May, 1782. A thunder
from the west approached the spacious powder
magazine at Galgunburg. A brilliant ilash'of
lightning took place, accompanied by such a
dreadful crash o 1 thunder that the sentinel was
stupifietLand.was for a time senseless. Some
laborers employed at the works of the fortress,
about two hundred and fifty paces from the mag.
azine, saw the lightning issue from the cloud,
and strike the point of the conductor. This case
of successful protection forms a remarkable con
trast with many well-known casse in which the
most appalling disaster have been caused by a
neglect to furnish conductors to magazines. In •
August, 1767, a large. quantity of gunpowder
Belonging to the Republic of Venice, had been,
deposited in the vaults of the church of St. Naz.
Mr, at Brescia. The tower of the church was
struck With lightning, ; the' electric fluid descen
ded to the vaults and exploded above two hon. '
fired and seven thousands six hundred pounds of
gunpowder! About three thousand persons 'per
ished by this catastrophe, and nearly one sixth
of the fine city of Brescia was destroyed. Ow
ing to the same want of protection, a magazine,
of four hundred barrels of gunpowder was blown
up in Sutnatra,in 1782, by an eledikic discharge;
and at LUxembtoirg, in - 1807; a magazine wiih
twelve tons of gunpowder, was exploded bY
lightning, andsthe lower part of the town laid in
ruins.

Duly . on Coal.—The Coal mining Association
of Schuylkill county have decided upon recom
mending a specific ditty of $1,25 'Ocilla per ton
