Mr. Cushing was the first Commissioner sent to China by the United States, and has held various others responsible positions. A Modern Baron Trenek. A most daring and adroit feat in the way of Prison breaking was performed in this town on Friday night last. by Aaron B. Brown, who had been confined. in the, new county Prison, a few months under a sen tence of 2 years and 9 mouths for the rob- bery oc Mr. Geo. Heaton,s Watch and Jew-, cloy Store, Potts;•ille, some time last fall.— His Cell was in the second .?,:ory, and early on Saturday morning, as we learn from Col. Krebs, on sending his Assistant, as was usual to call the Prisoners gre pa rtory to receiving their breakfasts, the door of Brown's Cell was found to be fastened on the inside by means of his bed which. was propped against it. On forcing the door the Cell was discovered to be tenantless, and a hole in the Arch above, and thence through the roof of the Prison, 'afforded evidence that Brown had passed out in that direction and thus effected his escrpe. On furher ex amination it appeared that he had let him self down from the roof into the yard below by means of a rope which he had ingeni ously manufactured from the yarn used by him in weaving. He had prepared himself with a rope ladder, also to one end of which was attached n doodle wire hook ; this he threw over the top of the wail, and the hook trt catchint , under the iron coping enabled him to reach the top, and then by reversing it to let himself down on the outside very readily and safely, leaving him at perfect lib erty to go withersoever his fancy might dic tate. Whai course he took there is no pos sibility of knowing, and nothing has yet been tented to afford the least clue to it. Brown is thus described, :35 years of agt-, a native of New York, occupation ‘Vatclimalter, pale complexion, dark eyes, black hair, turning gray, live feet nine inches high, foot No 5 spare face, slim built and is an excellent Weaver. He had on a brown Cloth Over coat, gray Kentucky Jean Roundabout, brown mixed Kentucky Jean Pants, Check Shirt, black Kossuth Hat, and coarse black Slipper shoes. Lv A Reword of ONE HUNDRED and FIFTY DOLLARS is offered by the county Commissioners, for his apprehension and rcturu to the Prison. The Acquisition of Wealth. "I wish livere rich!" is an almost uni versal aspiration , of mankind, and let the world's position (tithe individual be what it may an additional amount of properiy is generally dttsired. True, there are now and then glorious exceptions to the rule, and we see among us men who expend upon benev olent objects the full amount at their surplus income ; but, as a genera! thing, the desire of acquisition grows at least in an equal ratio to success ; mid what is equally true, the diSposition to be liberal too frequently con tract in the same proportion. The active comeetitam in all departments of trade, and the strenuous exertions neces• sary to be put forth in order to gain the precedence, engenders a morbid desire for extraordinary success. .As the practiced courser strains every Muscle to win the field so does the business man, in the pursuit of wealth, labor on with untiring energy. Al though the final cause is the pos , ssion of property, the efficient one is the effort itse:t. .put forth for its acquisition. How frequent ly do we see man who have spent many years of life in active pursuits, retire upon a competence„ and then for want of the stim ulus to activity, become perfectly w retched. 'They toiled cheerfully through a succession of yeatat with the idea of retiring some day for the purpose of enjoying the fruit of their labors ; yet, when the wished-for . day at length arrives, they are after a miserable interval of inactivity, driven back again to business by the unconquerable force of habit. Contemptible as is the disposition of the miser, and.. foolish as it may .appear in the abstract for an, individual to labor for an in crease of wealth when ho already possesses more than he knows what to do with; yet the desire for gain, by stimulating exertion, developes•all the resources of n people, and is really beneficial to mankind. If a man has merely to put forth his hand in order to pluck all the necessaries of life his activities will scarcely exceed the required exertion ; whereas if he roust wring out his subsistence from a barren and unyielding soil, or gain support from a business requiring strenuous exertion, he will become an energetic and beneficent agent in development to the ut most every resource of profit and success; but in doing this it will as a natural conse quence, stimulate his innate desiro of gain. until it too frequently becomes an alPabkorb ing passion. • If necessity is the mother of invention; acquisitveness is the'handa,maiden of activity. . • . In•a• community like ours,, there can ,re. , suit no permanent evils from the successful aCluisition of great' wealth... if ,i9rtunee could be rendered ihalienable, if the law of primogeniture and entailment could devolve upon the son the miserly accumulation of the father, and restrain its dissipation by spendthrift heirs, very few generations would pass before a moneyed aristocracy would arise which would darken the heavens and over shadow the land ; but, as it is un der our wise statutes of distribution, the wealthy' son, not unfrequently finds him self in the end where the wealthy father found himself in. the beginning, at the very bottom of fortune's wheel. .The profits of trade occasionally flow like a spring tide in to the'possession of the sire, only to dissap pear again in the hands of the son, like the morning mist. Restless exertion—men climbing up the ladder of fortune and tumbling down again -=-successful-operators-jostling_uncessfuLones out of the way—great fortunes heaped up ' and then scattered in a day,--t. ~gen spendthrift heirs succeeding miserly and wealth acquiring fathers —sons becoming rich who inherited from their parents noth ing but poverty—noise, bustle, and confu sion in strife for gain, is just at the present day especially in our country, the panorama of human life. The exertions of the trades man, the skill of the banker, activity of the broker, the acumen of the profesaional man, the-labor of-the-artisan, are excited to the in tense action of the present time less by pres sure of necessity than by the universal aspi ration to amass a fortune ; but what precise amount of property a fortune is, has never yet been determined. The man who rises in the morning without knowing where he is to get a dinner, .fixes it at a full supply of food. The artisan Who gains an ample livelihood by his labor, places it• perhaps at a thousand or UV° of dollars. The farmer or the country trader, considers ten or twen ty thousand the ultimatum, of his ambition while the successful operator in the city will scarcely think of pausing to take breath before ho counts a hundred thousand, with a reasonable expectancy of half a million ! American Church Customs, An English traveller in this country thus describes in his "book" some of the " queer things" he met with in his Wanderings. "Now, to tell you of some of the queer things one sees and hours in this queer coun try. One of the must foreign-looking sights to a stranger is the appearance which the churches present during service, especially if the day be hot. Every lady has her fan which she brings with her,or more. generally keeps lying in her pew. What a funny sight. There they. sit, young girls and youtigqa,dies, .newly married and old Mar lediee,:likek ladies and white ladies, fanning away as if their lives depended on their never ceasing. In front of the minis ter, on this side and on that, up in the front of the galleries, and back in the galleries there they go, fan, fan, fun, fan. There are fans cf paper, fans of grass, fans of ivory, fans of feathers, fans of every thing. There they go, those who have no fans using their prayer-books or Bibles, fan, fan, fan. Arms moving and heads keepin time, flutter, flut ter, flutter—one fan, two fans, three fans— fans innumerable. Oh dear! It surely is hot. "Another peculiarity connected with their churches, is that of the gentlemen always rising up and leaving the pew to let a lady enter. A lady, indeed, when she reaches her pew, never thinks of going in till all the gentlemen first step out. In she goes end in go the obsequious gentlemen after, only to repeat the performance in three minutes when another lady conies in. I have often seen five gentlemen leave to get up and go out. I was myself a victim to this practice. Last Sabhath I went over to New York to here Dr. Spring preith. I could not fi nd the door-keeper to show me to a s eat, so I entered a vacant pew on chance, and sat at the head of it us we do in Scotland. Pres ently the church door opened and in walked a lady marshaled by my friend the door keeper: Up they marched till they came to my pew. when lie, opening the door bec- oiled to me with his finger to comP Unfortunately for toe 1 was reading a hymn t tho time., and was so engagi•d that 1 did mit at first see the telegraphic signal: so there sat 1. composedly reading, and their stood my friend, the doorkeeper impatiently beck oning, beside hint stood the minister's wife, (for it was no less a personage whom I was keeping standing their,) while round . about sat the congregation, curiously lookin g.—At last I cought his eye, or rather .his linger --had to get up, and to the right-about march let this Tree-born lady enter her pew —possession, in this ease, not proving nine points of tke law. I got well-punished for my lack of • politeness, or, as I will call it for my ignorance, by feeling the tell-tale blood mount up to the crown of my head.-- One thing Ifelt strongly inclined to do, was to give the fellow a word in season." Outrageous Assault. On the 26th of February, a young man, a I resident of this Borough, named E. C. Wil son, semi of W. H. Wilson, Esq., while trav elling from Tamaqua to Beaver Meadow, in Carbon county, was attacked near the latter place and his horse and carriage taken from him by an unknown Irishman, who very composedly seated himself in the carriage I and drove off towards Hazleton, but was met on the road by several citizens of Beaver Meadow, who happened to know the horse and carriage, inought it and the Irishman back to within a short distance of the Mead ow, whore they were met by an Irish tune eral. The Irishman gave the alarm, an, was immediately rescued by his countryrne who atoned the other pansy off. In the me: time young Wilson came up with a-re forcement of citizens and recovered the hor• and carriage without much trouble, but the offending patieti escaped. The. perpetrater of the outrage was arrest ed at the mines is the evening—but on his way to the magistrate's office, a number of his friends interfered, and after a considers: ble struggle in which the Constable and Judge Cools as. well as the prisoner, were more or less injured, the prisoner was new ed•froin , o lo Pkolio of 'tflo.

Many contend (and with reason) that it is, an Aristocracy, it certainly is not a Dem ocracy; that is impossible in the nature of things; for a Demcracy is, where each in dividual has a full, potential and equal voice in the making and administering of the laws. The legal fiction that a man does, by him. self what he does by-another, or the political fiction that what a Representative, - or - the majority of the Representatives- do,. is the act of each and every individual in the Com monwealth, is "a delusioji of the devil,"—is not true in point of fact, and is a mischievous covering for all manner of tyranical,and op prossive-actsT—There-can-be-no-such-thing- -as-democrcy in a large State; the govern ment may be Republican in-form,-but-not. a practical Democracy; the laws of this Com monwealth are made by less than 150 in dividuals, sointimes by a- bare majority of those members who are present in the Leg islature, which laws are to govern two and a half millions of people is that democracy? Let one of the " sovereign people" go to Harrisburg, in his "sovereign" capacity, and undertake_to_telLthe..Senate_and_Elouse of Representatives what they should do in each case as it comes before them, and he will soon be sent to the State Asylum or some other place. Sometimes a Mobocracy governs—but that, in its nature, is an un stable government and seldom lasts long; so also, is a democracy or government of devils and generally accompanies Mobocracy. Consequently, if we do not live under a Theocracy, Democracy, Demonocracy or Mobocracy, we must be living under an Aristocracy, Robocracy or Taxocracy, or all three combined !. That our government is in its nature essentially aristocratic is proven by our laws, which favor the rich more than the poor--tending to make the rich richer and the poor poorer ; the rem nant of the, feudal system under which the now live, is The remnant of aristocracy and ought immediately to be abolished. That it may be called a Robocracy is evident, for there is ten times as much robbery, according to law, as there is contrary to law ! ten dollars to one ! The corruption, bribery, injustice . partiality, and many other evil things, show the nature of the government under which we live, which above all may safely be called a Taxocracy Tearing away near ly one-half of the net income of the industri ous and economical, onaintain a parcel of useless, idle ofkeLholders.- )1; . „ Dit,charged 'pine-fenths of the public of fleets, and We could. have a better govern. ment tlittp•yve have at present.

But to bring it to the con sumers liy miles of condUcting pipes and meters makes it an article of luxury only attainable by a part of the community in large cities, who reside within, the range of the main pipes. And even_ then, its high price exceeds all other burning. material ; and the greater part of the citizens cannot enjoy the benefit of gas light even by pay ing any price, not to mention the many acci- • dents Which happen by the use of turpentine and alcohol light. ti the great expense of miles of Main pipes • could. be , avoided, gas would not cost half the price it now does. Every man would burn it : and it would be promotive of faultily happiness, as the spirit of education mid science has reached almost every house. The wife would enjoy the company of her husband, and be entemined by a fine story from a book or newspaper : every corner might be occupied by children learning their lessons ; ladies at the piano would not dispense with a gas light, if once used, and all this can be done with one gas light, at the cost of half a cent an evening. To effect this, gas must be made portable.
