There is, says, the New Orleans Delta, much sound philosphy in the old adage that 'All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.' There are men;and plenty of them too, so thoroughly wedded to business, that they have never a mo ment to spare for intellectual improvement, or leisure to cultivate rationally the graces of so cial life. When such men are reproached for this continued devotion to bosiness, which, af ter all, is the worship of the golden calf, in another shape, —Their reply is, that their plea sure is in their business. This may all be; and so it is the pleasure of some crazy men, unless restrained, to be forever maiming themselves; but is such a pleasure,aproper or healthy one? Those who are in the habit of walking a great deal know, that iris much less fatiguing to walk over uneven ground for any length of time, than it is over that which is perfectly level. the former, a varieiy of muscles are called in. to- action, one set relieving .the other; but in the latter, the same muscles are constantly engaged, and the fatigue is proportionate.

A member of a firm, who came passenger in the-Arabia; stated that on the morning Of the day on which the steamer sailed he had held conversations with several well informed mer chants, who considered that war was almost in evitable; that though the Emperor Nicholas might not consider tile seizure of the Danubian provinces an act of war, the Turkish govern- ment did, and that France and England would feet bound to sustain her. The Russian vague and unmeaning pretext for thus invading a weak and friendly power was like the wolf's peaceable intentions towards the lamb which ' incontinently sipped from a brook nearer its fountain than the wolf, and nothing but the in terference of shepherds, in the form of England and France, could save the lamb (Turkey) from , the jaws of its voracious enemy. Chinese: Afire. The arrival of the Illinois. brings us intelli gence from Hong Kong four days later than had been previously received; but it gives us very little additional news concer,niug the ac tual progress of the Rebellion.. It is not easy, indeed, to derive any clear and connected nar native of recent proceedings there from the broken statements of the Hong Konk journals. The Herman, some days since, brought a ro. mor, which reached England from Hong Kong under date of April 22, that the Rebels had ta ken Nankin, and that a decisive engagement's between them and the Imperial forces was ex pected in a few days. The Illinois confirms the report that Nankin bad fallen into their hands, and adds, that they were again driven out of it. According to these accounts Nankin was taken on the 21st of March, after a series of rapid and successful marches upon various other points; but the Rebels were compelled to evacuate it soon after, and were defeated by the Imperial forces on the sth of April, in an engagement, about thirty miles south of Nankin. Our extracts_from_Hong_Kong papeis _contain many contradictory and irreconcileable state meats concerning their proceedings ;—but these facts seem to be very clearly let forth, and ate iitobably, authentic. According to this account, the revolution his received a serious check. Up to that time the rebels seem to lave hod-everything their owp way. ;They very seldom ' met any Of the ipy= peal tioopej of thecouniry through which th* passed. It hes' frequently been asserted titto, their progress would be checked whenever they should come dear .enough to the capital to ed. counter the resistance of the Government troops and thoevent.seeots to have •justifted-fthe - -pro. diction. • The Chinese papers generally attribute less weight to the rebellion, and are less confident of its ultimate success, than the EagliehjtMjr nate.

And the Chittese Mail offers sundry cogenereit sons. for believing that the commercial interest. of England and other foreign nations would suf fer more from their triumph than from their de feat.

Railway Passenger Cars.—The cost of one of tjte long railway passenger oars is, on an aver. age, about two thousand dollars. There are in the United States upwarde of eighty'private car manufactories, exclusive of those railwitys which make and repair all for their own, use ; and it is calCulated that a capital of 66,000,000 is invested in this branch of industry, producing about 317,000,000 annually, and employing about six thousand men. Western Emigration, Few are aware of the statistiavbf travel over the plains of the Far West. 1% glean the fol lowing from a recent letter from Fort Kearney.

Davis &_Co., of_Cincinnati, Ohio, have become interested with the owners of Hilton's pat. eat process of making wrought iron directly from the ore. with wood or mineral coal, at a single heat, and have put the matter to a practical test With the most favorable results. They hive . put up a furnace, forge, and rolling mill, in one room and the first attempt pradtadeti . irod, though all the'hands, with one exception, had never seen such a futhace. The furnace.and puddling oven, are conne,cted,'wheri the Me is Melted it flows into the oven, and by lapping a few inches above the oven hearth the slug or drop flows out. The iron is bailed and put under the trip hammer, made into blooms, and prepared for rollers ; all done with a small quantity of fuel: . Owing to low water in the Ohio, Messrs. Davis & Co. have so far used a very inferior quality bf 'black sand stone ore, yield only about 10 per cent. of iron and usually refused by foundry men as unprofitable. The ore is pulverized and mixed with 20 per cent of carbon—common bituminous c . oal—and then put into air chambers prepared for it, which are also heated by stone coal. In the puddling oven.it is also heated by stone coal to a white or welding heat, and made ready for bailing. No charcoal or anthracite, heretofore considered as essential,as used. Nine blooms, of 70 pounds each, averaging one in fifteen minutes, required but three bushels of stone coal to the bloom.— They are now turning out about 2i tons of the best quality of blooms every 24 hours at a cost• of $l2 50 per ton in Cincinnati. The iron manufactured by the new process has been subjected to the severest test, such as making into horse shoe nails; nuts, &c., and proves to be as.good quality as the best blooms brought to •the Cincinnati market. The above particulars of this important invention to the iron interests are obtained from the communication of J. Greer to the Dayton Journal, and Charles Cist to the Cincinnati Enquirer. Both have vis ited the works and witnessed thd process, and Mr. C. says : a The great advantages claimed in this process are the cheapness with which the iron is made, the cost estimated is but $22 to 23, where the ore and coal is near at hand—the use exclusively of the Common bituminous coal—the uniform good -quality-of-the-iron=and—compared-wlth-a-blast furnqce, costing say $30,000 'which usually pro- duces nine tons pig iron, worth say $3O per ton the daily products would be $270.

Preparations for War by Turkey. The Constantinople correspondent of the Co logne Gazette, writing on the 16th inst., states that the sacred hannecof the Prophet was to be "unfurled on the following day and that no Turk capable of bearing arms would -be exempted from military service. Fie adds that Persia is at variance with Russia : that hordes of Bedou• Ins are swarming towards the-Caucasus; that any further concessions on the part of the Sultan would not prevent war, but only bring about his own downful ; that the Turkish fleet in the Black Sea is quite strong enough to repel the the Rus sian one ; and that twenty.one batteries, well provided with heavy artillery, await the Russians at !he entrance of the Bosphorus, supposing they contrive to get so far. He states, too, that the Turkish fleet is constantly cruzing in the Black ,Bea ; that 100,000 Turkish troops are stationed in the directioq_of Salistria, and about 50,000 'near Trebisonade. The same journal publishes a Peracorrespont. dente of the 16th instant, as follows ; "However great may be the efforts of Euro pean journals to prove that peace will not be broken, the fact which we witness here are not of a nature to raise such hopes. On the contra ry, everything shows that we are on the eve of a conflict. The Porte,has too energetically rejec ted the demands .made by Ptince Menschikoff ever to be able to comply with them.. Russia on its side well foresaw what in the event of the re fusal of the Porte, was to be done ; and that fore sight existed before Prince Menschikoff was sent on his pompous mission.

Returning, she lowered the well pole to the bottom. and brSught . the child to the surface, the little thing clinging to the pole with its hands. The mother raised it a few feet, when its hold relaxed and it again sank. Again she lowered the pole, which coming in contaht. the little hands, ft was taken with death.

The Cineinttali_Gazette_refers to-the-fact that the number of reported cases of hydrophobia, has been unusually large the present season, and comments on the.subject,as follows: Now that publio attention has been called to the subject of hydrophobia, it may interest some to know that an ingenious theory is held by some medical men, which rejects the idea that the'madness of the biter has any effect on the madness of the bitten, and affirm that hydropho bia is as likely to result from the bite of a dog in perfect health, as from one that is mad. Their chief reasons are, that the effect ad!l other pois ons are certain and determinate-no other poison can be received into the system with impunity— yet hundreds of persons have been bitten by dogs unquestionably mad, and no evil effects havd followed. Instances have been known where d score of persons hive been bitten severely by the same dog, and only one has been eflected by hyt drophobia. So also many persons have died* from hydrophobia where the animals by whom' they were bitten, where never known or eyed suspected to be mad. Other poisons have a spe; cific time within which their operation begins and ends. In hydrophobia therein no such de finite period—in some cases the effect shows it self iminediately—in others not until the lapse of months and even years. Ten, animals--the dog, wolf, fox and cat; the horse, ass, mule, cow, sheep, and pig; are all which are said to be susceptible of this disease, while the first four only are said to be able to communicate it.
