Tho Iron Business One of the most interesting ut the many doe , merits accompanying the report or the Secre tary of the Treasury, is a letter from Charles E. Smith, Eq., of Philinlelphia on the prices and cost of manufacturing iron in Ettgland and ;Ilia country. it is well known how targety labor enters into the manulacture or iron : and Mr. Smith shows that, while in the United State!s the cost of labor in the manufacture of one ton of iron amounts to $I I, in England it amounts to only $3,71. The Pittsburg American, marking upon this sti i king fact, says this A mer ican price of $1 1, is what is paid at the east, but at Pittsburg, even the present reduced pri ces are one-fourth greater, say making the entire cost of labor there 513,75, ur ten dub lars and four cents more per tun than is paid for labor by the English manufacturers. The Pittsburg iron makers ate paying, therefore, nearly four times as much fur labor per ton as their English and Scotch competitors. Thu American says further, that the mills in that city average about 5,000 tons a year. The amount paid to labor in England for the pro duction of 5,000 tons is 518,550, while in Pitts burgh it. is 568,750. Taking the ten mills in Pittsburgh (Mere are twelve in all.) which average 5,060 tons each annually, there is paid for labor 5687,500, white the same number of mills of equal production in England would pay for labor but 5185,500 showing an excess in the case of these tell mills alone, of over five hundred thousand dollars more being paid for labor annually, than the production of the same amount of iron would Cost in England. Thew is only one way in which iron eambe produced here as cheaply as it is done in England; and that is by the adoption of the same rates of wages --ten cents a day! We have no disposi tion to base an.argument on those facts now. They are plain in themselves, and will strike home•tiithe mind of every thinking, or at least, every working man. They need no embeb. lishMent—no explanation. There they are, and no sophistry eau change them. Government Like Many ()I oar modem theonvii of cm, artt tnent, the Republic rif Pialu and of More were foutt.led upoa fithe ideas (it tw nature of man.• They ;tioli. the eradication of a!! Ins e.ll passions. Ilar rington's '`o4:eana," and Iltime's idea of- a commonwealth were less chtmatioal, as they regarded man as lie is, und Were adapted to his present. condition and his real moral nod intellectual nature. Apart from, all theories, history toadies us the lesson that it is a great desideratum that government in every state should possess the power of periodical reforma tion, to enable it. to reform abuses, to cheek the immoderate growth of power in any one branch of the body politic, and to adapt itself to times and circemstanecs which each suc ceeding ago may developo. To the want of these may in a 'great measure bo attributed the decline and extinction of ancient constitutions In this respect we possess great advantages in modern times. If moderately and wisely used, they will tend to the permanence of our insti, lotions and a maintainance of a state of union, prosperity and political security and strength— s permanence which the empires of the ancient world could neyer attain—an eminence, a grandam, tuid a solid power, that, while they • bid defiance to time, may fur transcend the • shadowy glories of the past. Rcportea for the Lehigh Register. Couit Prooeedingg. Commonwealth vs Abraham Butz. The .de fendant was indicted of perjury, on the oath of Daniel Guth. It appeared in the testimony, that the defendant was a witness in a Prosecu tion before Esquire Saeger, when it was alleged that he swore willfully, absolutely and falsely in a matter material to the point in issue. But the Prosecution utterly failing to substantiate this allegation, the defendant was acquitted, and the prosecutor ordered to pay the cost of Prosecution.

George S. Eisenhart vs David and henry Metzger.—This was an action of tresspass. The plaintiff declared that lie sustained serious dam ages front the defendants cattle breaking into his fields and destroying a quantity of oats and rye, and also of greatly injin tog hi, apitle trees. -The defence was that the cattle did not be long to the defendant, but were merely adju decl, and literature that the action should have been cot in state of tresspass.—Verdiet in favor of the plaintiff for the sum of Sl4 25.

It is not unusual, (says emulsible writer.) to attempt the management of children either by corporal punishment, or by rewards addressed to the senses or bY words alone: There is one other means of government, the power and im portance of which are seldom regarded—l refer to the human voice. A blow may be inflicted en a child, accompanied with words so tittered as to counteract entirely its . intended efiwit ; or the parents may use a word entirely unobjec tionable in itself, yet spoken in a tone which more tlnut defeats its influence. What is it which lulls the infant to repose ?- Is it an array of mere words? There is no charm to the un taught one in letters, syllables, and sentences. 'lt is the sound that strikes the little ear that smoothes•und composes it to sleep. A few notes, however unskillfully arranged, if uttered in a soft tone, are ((mid to possess.a magic in fluence. Think we this influence is confined to the cradle? No. It is diffused over every' and ceases not while the child remains under the parental-roof. Is the boy growing, ro:e, n, manner, and boisterous in speech ? I know no instrument so sure to control these tendencies as the gentle tones of a mother.— She who speaks to her son harshly does but give to his conduct the' sanction of her own example, pinire oil on the already raging flame. In t to pressure of duty we are liable to utter ourselves harshly to children. Perhaps a threat is uttered in . a threatening and ini!ating voice, instead of allaying the passions of the child, it serves directly to increase them.— Every 1)0;111 expression awakens in him the same spirit which produced it, So does a pleasant voice call up an agreeable . feeling. Whatever disposition, therefore, we would en courage in °child, the same we should mani fest in the one in which we address it. lloW to Speak to Children Cotton Manufactures.-T he .. lion.

Any three individuals, undereht iovi•• sion of this bill; may form themselves into an Association, and by depositing, with thii-Autii tor General a certain amount of State Stock, commence the Banking business, to an amount not exceeding, four-fifths of the amount of stock depositcd. Thus, if Stock to the amount of $100,1161 be deposited, the Auditor General is authorised to issue to the parties notes to the amount of $BO,OOO. 'The nintimam amount for every one Association is ;50,060. In Section 10th the Governor is authorised to negotiate a loan for the sant 0f3,000,000, re deemable in 30 years from the dale of the sub scription thereof, at a rate of interest not ex ceeding..l percent. per annum, payable in gold . and silver, semi-annually upra; The first days of Ifebruary and August of each year, and exempt from every species of taxation. 'This loan is to be awarded to the highest bidder or bidders, and shall be designated as the coupon loan, and the holders thereof are to enjoy and exer cise the banking privileges granted and con ferred by subsequent sections of the act. If the loan shall be subscribed, it is to be appro priated for the pay roeut and extinguishment of the funded debt of the Commonwealth now due or to become due during the year 1850, and for the payment of the sum of 585,101 88. due to domestic creditors. The Anditor-Gene . rad is authorised to have engraved •mid printed, on the best paper, anti iu the best manner, to guard against counterfeiting such quantity of circulating notes in the similitude of batik notes, in blanks of the diffaent denominations authorised to be issued by the incorporated Links of this State, us ho may from time to time deem necessary, end of such term as he may prescribe. Such blank itstculating notes are to be countersigned, numbered and reek tered in proper books to be provided and kept for that purpose by the Auditor-General. Don't Meddle Meddle not will the affairs of others. Look into your own bosom. You have sins enough to answer Mr, to bound to say. When you have become perfect, it will be enough to make your neighbors it not 'Many a man has made his fortune by minding his own business ; and many a man has been re duced in purse and character by officiously meddling with others' affairs. Alen who are forever looking after their neighbors affairs and prying into their secrets, seldom find time to watch themselves. In uncovering the mis deeds of their friends they entirely conceal their own. Wherever you find a meddlesome person, you will invariably find ono whose heart, could it be oncovered and revealed to the view, wOuld present anything hut purity and love. Then be not meddlesome. Look within—detect your own faults and mend them as fast as you can. You will soon find enough to do to employ your leisure hours, and will Lind precious few moments to pray into the se cret faults and follies of your neighbor. Hard Times We frequently hear men of considerable means, whenever Meru is a little depression in the business world, complain loudly 'of had times. We verily believe some of those who have done as profitable a business—saved as much money as in former yeast, and probably with as much money in *itPocket as they could have boasted at 4titiime, are the very loudest in this hue and cry. A western paper happily illustrates the truth of this. A farmer called upOn his , landlord with a very long face, and flung a bundle of notes on the. table, ex claiming, "Them, that's all I can pay—times aro so hard." Air. , the landlord, count. ed the money', and in surprise said, 'Why, this is mire as much as you owe r"• Dang me : giro it to me again," said the old farmer, ''l'm dashed if I ain't, I took it out of-the wrong pocket!"

On examining the body it was found that his back - bone was broken, which was occas i one d by striking the rudder in falling. Ilk remains were broug'n to hits father's residence, and terred in "the burying ground of the Union Church. Ile was 14 years of age. Eff Female Medical College.--A charter was granted by the present . legislature for the Female College of Pennsylvania, which is now in pro. press of operation in Philadelphia—that is, it is . about getting under way with pretty fair prospect of being useful. Dr. hongshote, of Bucks coon• with Drs. Gibbons and Fickardt, of the city, have been appointed to professorships, • Quick Weies.—Mix flour and cold milk to. gether to make a thick baiter. To a quart of the flour put six beaten eggs, a teaspoonful of melted butter, and a teaspoonful of salt. Some cooks add a quarter of a pound of sugar and a half nutmeg. To Cure a relun.—Take one table-spoonful of red lead and one table.spoonful of castile soap; mix them-with as much weak ley as will make it soft enough to spread like salve, and apply on the first appearance of it, and it will cure in ten or twelve hours. Emigration.—There were 8,000 California em igrants at Weston - and St. Joseph's, Mo., at last accounts, and one bbnt in descending the Mis souri river met twenty-nine going up, all crowd ed with overland adventurers. Legislative Proceetilints. Hinitinatraa t May 6, , 1850 SENATE. The 'consideration of the Revenue bill was 'continreeci, until the first section was reached, of the series providing for the negotiation of a loan of three Millions, and the establishment bf a free baniting, system. • A long discussion then sprang up, in which Messrs. trakb,Darsie, and Walker, parttcipated, and the question being 'taken, the section was agreed to by the following vote: Yeas—Messrs.

HOUSE OF REPIIESENTATIVO. Mr. Porter moved to suspend the order::: of the day for;the purpose or considerin g the bank bins ; but the House refused to suspend.

On motion of Mr. Jones, the bill to incorpo rate the Bucks County mining company, was taken up, nincnded, and passed a second and fi nal mailing, A New Idea The United States Life insurance Company have conceived the novel project of uniting the conveniences of Banks for Savings and of Insur ance upon Lives. According to their system. insurances are payable'to the peitons taking out policies on their attaining certain ages, and not as in other companies, only upon the decease of the insured party. For example, a person twen. ty•lour years of age, paying ;WM annually, se cures $l,OOO for his family if he should die im mediately after effecting the insurance; but if he lives to the age of forty years, he receives that amount hitnself, with his share of the profits of all the business transacted by the company dur ing the whole period in which he has been in ' suring. At thirty-one years of age, paying $46,20 annually, steures equal benefits, of the same amount, on or before attaining the age of fifty. Beginning at the age of forty, a payment of $475,70 per :LllllOlll, secures the sante on or be fore attaining the age of sixty ; and a youth cigh. teen years of age, may obtain the same advanta ges, at or before the age of sixty, by the payment of $18,20 per annum. We have cited these ca• sea to show the practical operation of airs new systeni of life insurance. The principle is a jut diciotia combination of the Savings' Bank and the Life insurance Company, affording immedi ate protection to the family or dePentjents, in the amount insured, and securing to the insurer, if he lives, the full advantages of an investment of money at interest. It secures, from small sav ings, the means of establishing a bpsiness, or of roaming a homestead at periods of life when thi. accomplishment of either of the objects fre t quently become an absorbing topic of domestic solicitude. Navigation of the St• Lawrence The Canadian government has refused to per mit American vessels to come from ports on the Upper Lakes direct to Quebec, there to rir. load with return cargoes. The request that they might do so was presented by. the Montreal Board of Trade. It is well known that an ap plication is before Congress for reciprocity of trade between Canada and the United States. Mr.-Clayton has applied to Mr. Bulwer, at the instance of the Committee of Commerce in the House of Representatives, to know whether; in the event of the passage, of such a bill, the free navigation of the Si. Lawrence will be conceded. Mr. Bulwer replies, that in his judgement, the measure seems to be the natural consequence of those measures by which thd markets of Great Britain have already been opened to the agrieul. • tural.products of this country, and he adds the following:-- I feel no hesitation therefore, in stating that the instructions with which I came to the U. States, warrant me under such circumstances in assuring' you that should a bill corresponding to that which has received the sanction of the legislature in Canada, be i passed by the legisla, lure of the United States, and receive the sane. tion of the President of the United States, Her Majesty's government will be ready to respond to any application which the United States govermnent may then address to it, on the sub ject concerning which you have now applied to rne, by at once consenting to open the navimp tion of the River St. Lawrence, and the canals thereto adjoining, (anti which would be duly. specified) to the shipping and other citizens of the United States."

The Needle Manufacture High up inn secluded nook, of a small stream which threads its way through the upper part of this city. called "Mill Brook" or "First River," and Which dfords much valuable power to sundry other fattories, stands an ,unpretending wooden edifice, devoted to a branch of manufac turing, but little known in this city, or indeed in any part (.1 our 'country; It is that of making needles upon the same principle, with the same facility and of equal quality with those made by the celebrated R. Hemming & Sons, of Reddich, England, and the inventor of which is the pro prietor of this factory—Mr. William Essex, who states that he was the first to make "drill eyed. needles" for that establishment. • The following process of their manufacture will be read with interest. The wire used is made in England expressly for the purpose-the manufacturers of this coun try not having yet accomplished the manufac turing of wire suited to this purpose. It is first cut into suitable lengths according to the size of the needles to be made, when they are straightened and pointed upon a stone which is required to be turned with great velocity ; they are then stamped, or an impression made upon them where the eve is to be made; after which the eye is punched by means of a preSs inven ted for The purpose. The burr made by stamp. ing the 'eye is fled smooth, alter Which the har dening and tempering is performed. and then they are agliirt straightened so as to make their shape perfect. By means of machinery, they are scoured and brightened, and the closing pro cesses are, the assorting them by placing the beads and points their respective ways; the eyes blued, or the temper at that point taken out, that they may not cut, and the drilling, counter sink ing and burnishing the eyes. This peculiar branch of manufacturing, al thongli not entirel! . , new, is net•ctficless of some ghat recent origin in this country; but this pro. cess of amking, and the consequent enhanced quality of the article, is entirely new—and so much inclined are the manufacturers of England to stop its progress in dd.; country, that they have, as we are informed, repeatedly attempted 10 induce Mr. Essex to return to England; and it is a !natter of more importance to them, inas much as he is not only the first inventor, but the only person employed by Hemming & Sons, who has emigrated to this country for the purpose of establishing, his business. Not only does he mind:lmre the ordinary sewing needles, but he makes points of different kinds ust..d in utach inery.—Nemirk Any. California Land Titles We have received the report made to the De parunc nt of the Intgrior, I,y William Carey Ji nes, Esti., who was sent to California as a confident tial agent of the Government to inquire into the condition of Land Titles in that country. Mr. Jones seems to have discharged the duty entrust• cd to him with great fidelity and ability: His re port, which is contained in a pamphlet of about 10 pages, makes a very full c`Amsitiun orthe origin and charattet of these tides. and contains a large amount of valuable and interesting in. f lo irinittitin, lin says of the grants in California, that they—, nAre mostly perfect I:lles—that is, the holders possess their property by titles, that, under the law which created them, were equivalent to pa, tents from.our governmcm t and those which are not pet fects-that is, which lark some ffirmality, or some eridence of completeness—have the same equity, as those which arc perfect, and were and would have been equally respected under the government which had passed away. I think the state of land titles in that country will allow the public lands to he ascertained, and the pri vate lands set apart, by judicious pleasures, with little difficulty. Any measure calculated to dis credit, or clusu to- be distittsffid, the general character of the titles there, besides the alarm and anxiety which it would create among !he ancient population, and among all present hold ers of property, would, I belied e, also retard the substantial improvement of the country; a title discredited is not destroyed, but every one- is afraid to tuncli it, or at all events to invest Abeir. and money in improvements thr,t rest on a sus-, pected tenure. The holder is *aid to' iinfitiii44 others are afraid to purchase, or if they do par chase at its discredit value, willing only to akc mi. inconsiderable investtnents upon it." • if omen'.
