W. corner of Third, and Chesnut streets, Philadelphia, and l(9 Nas sau street; (Tribune Buildings,) New York, is our authorized Agent for receiving advertise ments and subscriptions to the Lehrlgh Register mid collecting and receipting fur the same Fourth of July, 1716 The roar and thundering boom of cannon ring out to-day,,,the stern music of gratitude; the sun of a Nation's hallowed nativity is shin ing, and playing its bright beams around the countless spires of temples raised to Liberty! This is our day of rejoicing—let thankful hearts ascend to Heaven; and adore the God of Battles. ' Seventy-four years ago, and the flag of a flew born people spread its infant wings to the flutterings of the western breeze. Heaven smiled on it from that hour—it assumed at once the cause of God and Hinnanilv—illoral • and Political Freedom. Peace dwells within our borders, and pros perity haS filled the land ;—the busy hum of industry is heard every ‘vhare, and the count less evidences 01 our progre‘s spring up on every side. Tittle is, in all this, matter for honest pride; but there should also go with that pride, the stimulus to further effort.— Peaceful influences and just laws have brought us far on the road to greatness as a nation and it is by them alone we can advance further, maintaining our integrity ,as a peo ple and acting with energy and unity of pur pose. Them should be in every man's life a day of each year sot apart fur special remembrance of the acts of the past, that he may go onward again, furnished with the wisdom which ob, servation affords and the prudence which ex perience inctricates. As with individuals, so with nations; and it is just that there should be, on this day, a recognition of the, past, an appreciation of present position, and thought for the future. There haS been no year of our existence as a nation which--has proved-so conclusively the excellence and beauty of the republican principle, and the strength of the people who look - to it as a guide, and lean on it for support. It becomes us, then, not only to maintain the position we have attained, but to keep still in the van ; and, as the greatest republic of modern times ; to be also the best. We haVe passed through our trial; and while we look with deep and painful interest upon the strug gles of (hose who are tending toward the light of republicanism, it shouhl be with the hope that the bloody ordeal through which they must pass, will be but the price of liberty as great as ours, and a love for it that shall be as inextin guishable. Providence has been bountiful to us, and the full granaries and tho rich harvests, soon to be given to the sickel, have made abund ance. Fourth of July, 1776, belongs to the \mid. From it may be dated the stupendous efforts now enacted for human regeneration. Let us then celebrate it with appropriate dignity--let us forget to-day our former social differences and difficulties—let us forget we have differs cut religions, and different politics; let us be ware how we tamper with our own feelings and our domestic institutions; let us remember Assfria, Greece and carthage—what they once were, and what domestic feuds has made them. Their greatness—for they were °nee great—is now almost erased from the pages of history— the sky of their glory is clouded forever ! if we would shun the insignificance they have arrived at, we must encourage Education, avoid Aristocracy in ourselves, and de:Tisb it in others. We must cultivate peaceful cud friendly relations with all Nations, and we inuEl ever recur to this day with gratitude to the God of J.iberty. A Curiosity On Friday last, we were shown by a gen:le man of this place, a heti's e<2,g, given to him by Betijuniirs Brtinig, Esq., of North Whitehall township, this county, that contained three full vc//41, and measured. ,six end u huff inches ono way, and rigid inches the other.

Tariff Petitions Petitions asking a modification of the exist ing Tariff continue to flow into Congress in large numbers. During the last week, nearly every member from the State of Pennsylvania, as well as some from other sections, have pre sented petitions, numerously signed, on this subject. Load Mines in Busks County The . editor of the Doylestown Intelligencer recently visited the Led Mines now in opera tion in Bucks county, and from the description given wo should judge that a considerable quantity of me is taken out. A force of about twenty miners is constantly employed, night and day, and a twelve horse-power engine is used to pump out the water. This looks like ,buSiness. But why did not the editor give us the amowit in tons of ore raised, and a feW hints as to the extent of the deposit, and its prol?able importauce .

We should ,delight as touch as,any one lose° all branches' of business flourish under the present system, and could we see a speedy change ahead Mr the better, would not advise interference with it. We cannot see that any branch of business other than that of iron truly requires a higher tariff with such force as to leat•u no doubt uf its utility. In a brisk iron (lade the conEUMp lion of coal would be vastly increased, thus op erating as an all sufficient tariff in its favor.— The suspensions in cotton factories will doubt loss be temporary, aid if so, the depression needs no tariff medicine. We don't think, as many politicians will have the people believe ; that wham "cotton lords" are making a reintiii crating interest on capital, they shut up their mills for political acct. one Luf the mast ridiculous assertions (at this day) that men can be guilty of making.

In the mean time, the people of the Territory might be left under the protection of the mili tary forces of the United States, to be governed by their own local laws and usages, to which they are accustomed.

It is not a little 10111alkilble, s..ys the Daily N e w s , d u e while Mr. Paine's discovery of mo• (teeing light and heat ft o u t water is so severe ly exereisMg the - retedulity of the A meticalt public, the same, er a very similar discovery, should be claiming equal interest i t Europe. tvc L., not how this will be received by the incredulous, hero, hot villain it is that 111...10- .seph l'ietre Ildlard, of Tanis , has taken out a patent for improvements in the production of light and heat in general. !Ns invention con- . ; sists in certain apparatus and processes for pie dining hydrogen gas by the decomposition of water, and its application to heat and light, and was enrolled May 22, ISSO ;'so that Mr. Paine must look out for his laurels, for even should his invention come tip to what he claims for it., I tll. Dillard goes beyoml him. The process of Mr. 0. for rendering hydrogen gas for nating, is by causing a small jet of lighted hy drogen to pass through a burner (the holes ve ry small) on a thin strip of platinum, or a wick of platinum wire, the threads being excessive ly fine, and of a graduated section, proportion ed to the intensity of the pressure of the flame antrum burning hydro,gen---a very powerful ligltt is thus produced.

Trial of Baldwin and Gearhart Gcorgc Buithein, Postmaster at Great Bend, Susquehanna county, Pa., charged with embez! :dement of letters containing money front the U. S. Mail, was found guilty by the Jury on Friday in manner and form as 9 he stood indicted. The counsel for the prosecution were Attorney, Gineral Sietlizer, and Mr. A runaironf, Messrs. Caiv and .tlialliiard were the counsel for the defendant, who plead insanity. Judge Grier sent fenced Baldwin, on Monday, to ten years impris• sot, meat in the State prison at Pittsburg. The trial of Charles M. Gearhart, for rubbing the mail, while acting as Clerk in the Post office at this place, commenced last week and closed This week. He was tried on one indictment, found guilty, and sentenced to ten years iipPri sonment in the Western Penitentiary. .Gear lieart implicated the Post Master at Danville, in the transaction, and•Mr.-Shoop was required to enter bail, in the sum oft - J,OOO, for his appear' ance at the U.

Pil low, of Tennessee, at a public dinner given to the delegates of the Convention at Nashville, Tenn., and was tecuived with enthusiastic ap plause: "The 3/i:o.orri Contprontitc—On that line we will meet our northern brethren with the hand of fellowship—floM it we will not bo driven except at the point of the Ifwyonc/." This is just such a toast as might be expect ed fiem such a '',c,ft Pit/ow," nor are we stir prisCd that men who wculd act as delegates to that Cetivenilim, slateld applaud it. We won der how many bayonets can be raised in tiny one of the slave, States, in case, as we have no doubt will be the fact, the Camino mist: bill of All. Clay is passed by Congress, and no notice taken of the "Missouri line !" Tho South is strong in her rights, and will maintain them, but such little school-boy brag,gadocia is out of place, and has only an injurious 'influence. It is the more ridic ulous in tho present case, as the Missouri Compromise lots not boon seriously mooted iu any portion of the South, and the recant mendit lion of it by the Nashville Convention, will have as much weight as a nullification county Meeting in the State of South Carolina.— The South will receive, with universal approba tion, the passage of the Compromise bill, and after it becomes a law, we will gliarantee there will not be one man, even among the members of the Convention, who will be willing to take a biimpet, in order to sustain the .iMissouri 'Mire will be but very few fouls or demagogues, and still fewer among sensible limn, of the South, who will not . cordially shake hands with their Northern brethrai over Mr. Clay's N. o.thd. Congressional Caucus The mecum; last evening of the members of the. House of ReprCsentative3 friendly to the ad miSsion of CaTifornia on her own merits, was attended,by forty Representatives. The speakers were generally in favor of tak ing up the California bill immediately, even be fore the-general appropriation bill. They-seemed confident that they had the ma jority in the House, and could control its action so tt.l to. secure the passage of the bill without delay One or two speakers preferred to take up first the appropriation bill, in the belief that any at. tempt to force through the California bill would be useless. Finally the meeting passed a declaratory res. olution in favor of the admission of California, and adjourned to Monday evening. Mr. Booth, of Connecticut, was appointed chairman of the meeting: It was resolved to support the bill introduced by Mr. Doty, regafdless of the comprotnise bill before the Senate or any other project. The majority of the membets were disposed to sit late in the... House , resist all attempis,no amendments, and insist upon the prompt passage or rejection of the bill. They are sanguine of success. A struggle will be made to lay the Galphin re port nun the table. Light and Heat from Water We have stated our doubtsi of the genuineness of Mr. Paine's areal discovery of a clirap mode of gr•tting burning gas from cominon water; but 11 - “ in a recent notice in the "London Patent Jour nal," flu appears to be a strong probability of its truth. Let us wait patiently until he lights op the .I.tor llouse, as he says he is going to do shortly. Meantime le'Cus discuss a late discov• cry of a French chemist, one Joseph Pierre Gil. lard. lie has filed a caveat in England for an invention consisting in certain, apparatus and processes fir producing, hydrogen gas, by the decoMposition of water ; and its application to heat and light. The means and processes by which he obtains this gas are by incolepence of iron—by carbon, and by magnets—three difftr cut Modes. The Patent Journal gives along ac count of the nodes by which M. Gil lard propos es to produce this burning, gas, one of which looks to us exactly similar to Mr. Paine's discov ery. This specification reads thus: "The il luminating by Means of the electricity of mag nets put in motion by any mechanical process es; and producing hydrogen and oxygen ; by l means of magnets,put in motion simultaneously, by any force Whatever, the two gasses being separately - collected." • On the whole, we think Paine has really made the wonderful discovery he claims; :UPI it only remains to be seen whether the burning gas can lie plmillred as cheaply as he tells the public,— If it can, then good bye to coal and coal mines, and all kinds of fuel. \Vater, water, every where, will Lc the universal feel,--11',4. Irsinde/r. Mr Pr..; short time ago, says the New Verb Herald, as our readers are no doubt aware, several gentlemen formed themselves into a commiitee (or the purpose of proceeding to Worcester, Mass., and investigating the Paine light, with the promise that they would make a report upon it when they coin:hided their labors: t he cotnmittre Was composed ()Cone or two pro fessors of chemistry', some practical chemists, and two gentlemen attached to gas manufactories here and elsewhere. We are infortned that these gentlemen instituted a thorough investigation into this light, and wilt make their report on the subject in a few days. From what we have heard of its character, it will el3lolllBll SorllC per sons in this community, and put the question at rest forever, as to whether thc Paine light is or is not what is claimed for it. E ..7 - Since the above was in type, the commit tee, consisting of Dr. Torrey, Professor of Chem istry, James N. Chilton, and three other distin gaished chemists, have published the result of their visit to Mr. Paine - s, and examination of his gas producing apparatus as far as they were lowed to see it. They pronounced the gas pro duced, hydrogen onlY, and not carburetted hydro gen, and to be totally malt for illumination.- Their account of the whole conduct of the par ties exhibiting, the light, leaves the impression of imposture. The Shoe liasinc , in Farmington, (N. 11.) Farmington is the banner town in New Hamp shire for manufacturing shoes. . For the year ending first of April last, it was estimated that the whole number manufactured in this town ex ceeded .125,000! valued at 300,000 dollars. The antount,paid l'or labor, boxes, freight and truck ing, was near 90,000 dollars. The boxes alone cost 3,300 dollars, and required 210,000 feet of boards to make them. There are non' six large manufactories, besides some smaller ones, all together are capable of turning out 700,000 per annum, should the wants of the trade require, and the prospect warrant it. The shoe trade now is rather still; but a fah business may be reasonably expected before the last of July, es• pecially now cotton, dour and pork, three great staples, have advanced, any one of which usu ally exerts a favorable influence on the shoe bu, siness. Parchts.—The "Trenten State Gazette," pub lished in the vicinity of sonic of the most exten sive peachOrchai*in the country, says the crop will be immense this year. The dealers in this delicious article are dlow•n in the month at the prospect of having a heavy crop on hand.' To meet this difficulty, some of the Peach men arc erecting very large and extensive drying sheds, calculated to cure• fifty bushels at a time. The lovers of Peaches may felicitate themselves on the prospect of abundance, if the dealers are a lit tle fearful iif their profits.
