STAR OF THE NORTH. R. W. WEAVER. EDITON. Uloomsbuvg Thursday Aptil SO. 1855. A Serious Blunder. The British government has lately confes sed that one newspaper in London is more powerful thnn the cause and influence of lite crown. Tbe London Times felt the ground sinking beneath the blunders ot the lecher ous aiistocratcs who conduct the govern inept fot the Queen, and had tlio nerve to say that the cry of the people for reform suust be heard. It was the same kind of thunder which in other days terrified the old •" Iron Duke," and made hirn yield to the demands for Calltolio emancipation and again for Parliamentary Reform, when he was placed at the head of the ministry to bold the spirit of Democracy at bay. It was the same kind of thunder as the voice oi Macanley, when on a memorable midnight he arose in his seat, while the infuriated mob was roaring and swelling around Par liament House like an angry sea ; and with the Reform Bill in his hand, declared, in the spirit of the s'orm king of the old table, ■ through Parliament, or over Pariiameut litis bill must pass. To punish the voice of truth on other oc caxici.s the best blood of England has beon excluded frum all official position. To sup press truth how the rod has been used to punish the Timer. But men like Ccbden have done their work of good in spile of persecution, and the voice of the Times and the truth will now only be the louder. The blow pi bigoted power will not any more suppress the truth now, than it did when torture comnellvd Galileo to say that the earth did not revolve. The government of the British ir.oapublcs has abolished the old rtamp duty which heretofore gave lite Times its powetiul monopoly. This will open newspaper competition, aud already hun dreds of new publications are announced The incapables around lite Queen tolJ her this would raise up a new power to break down the limes, and so to aid the crown.— But the result must be, that, whatever be tide tbe Times, a million of British subjects ' will now only for lite first time read the story of their suffering, and begin to think of hu man rights and wrongs. A thousand pens . can now for the first time write, and a thou sand woes can now for the first cry out for vengence. A spirit is loosened that can never more be calmed, but wiil always tor ment the wrongdoers. Reading is cheapen ed, and in this lays a revolution. It is perhaps well to be so, and we think we see a providence in this dispensation of man. The British government has loosened fetters of mind that will never be bound again; and lite country must now reiy on the public mind for its support. It is the greatest victory that the Democratic spirit ot England has gained within (tie present ten tury, or rather it is the security for all the victories of the liberals. It is such a movement as the Bourbons of France made when they attempted to punish the Biitish King by aiding lite United Stales lo sustain their independence. Lafayette and some other young nobleman were det patched to punish King George, but these very missionaries of Freedom brought hack fiom America a spirit of republicanism thai swept the Bourbons fotever from the throne of France. But the Times newspaper will not be etushed. It has men in its offices witose ntinds hold mors of statesmanship and politi cal economy than all lite Btiti.h ministry.— Its men of learning study and labor with a passion, and because tbey love labor and learning ; and not like Aberdeen and Rag lan only from the lust for office. Its leaders are men above the want of wealth or the se ductions of ambition, becanse they fsei that tkey have within tliemselvos that which is above all wealth and all ambition. Mark ihe prediction— the English mon erchy has awakened a spirit that wiil con quer it. SCIENTIFIC LECTURES. — On last Saturday and Monday evenings our townspeople wets entertained and instructed by scientific lec tures and experiments from Messrs. Swift and Lake, upon electrical phenomena and incidentally upon spiritual rapping. The subject of supernatural rapping was fully ex plained, and illustrated by reference lo in stances of menial delusion and lialliioina tion. Mr. Lake's exercises in table rapping ought to satisfy every sound mind how ab surd it is to go past the i.atural in the search for the supernatural. The rapping was as Well done us any spirits cou'd have mans gedit, and to the audience generally was as mysterious as if it had conte from the spirit world. The lecturers gave pleasure, amuse ment and instruction to large audiences; and as gentlemen honestly arid intelligently explaining Ihe laws o! mental and physical science we commend their lectutes lo pub lic encouragement. OT A work thai was quite a feat was per forated successfully during the past week by Mr. John Jones of Monutpleasant and bis sons. It was the removal of the frame build ing next below our office on Main Street of this town, lo a lot upon the hill Eaqj ol lion atreel, and also the removal in a like manner of another frame building which had been attached lo the other by Mr. Joseph Sharp less, the present owner oi the lot. The build ings were hauled off whole upon wagons; and as the "Health Emporium "of the olden time has now had its day, we hope .the skill of the Messrs. Jones will be called into further requisition to clear up Main Street and take ODlofil old shells. This would certainly be desirable 'f eac h lot owner would then im prove bit premises Id look after tbe fashion ■of Mr. Sharpie.'*' handsome home. AN EX-GOVERNOR TC.RNED MATOB— The Hon.

Judge Woodward reported the , resolutions, and Judge Conyngham, V. S. Maxwell, J. J. Slocutn aud the best men of Wilkesbarre participated in the meeting. A bill lias been introduced into th e Huu-e which will authorise an increase or decrease of the number of supervisors in any township when tie people desire it. Air Maxwell has included Columbia conrty in the bill. The fourth section provides. '• 1 hat whenever twenty of the qua lifted electors as aforesaid shall within ten dajs next prece ding such annual election by petition request the constable ot the proper township so lo do, lie shall advertise in the usual manner, at the said election the question of an increse, or decrease of one, two, or three, as the case may be, of the number of Supervi sors, will be submitted to the voters of the said township. Connecting the Two Continents— The Trans- Atlantic Submarine Telegraph Company, composed ol tha English and French capital ists, have entered into a connect with the N.

The two Companies, European and American, each will own the line by it con structed ; but their contract obliges them to operate in connection with each other, to the exclusion of all other iittes, for the period of fifty years, which is the limit of the Ameri can Company's charier.

FIGURE VERSUS FACE— A young stockbrd ker having married a fat old widow with SIOO,OOO, saya it wasn't hia wife's face that directed him so much as ihe figure- Luckawtinnn County. The bill to erpet a new county out of Lu zerne was latoly referred to a Committee of conference, as the two branches of lite legis lature differed. But the Committee was in like manner unable to agree and so trie bill fell. Mr. Dunning titer, introduced a new bill into the House which passed that branch through all its readings on last Friday. Important to Hcichants. The new anti-license law will nflect mer chants very materially. It will entirely pro hibit the sales of liquor by any and all of tliern after their present license expire until the first of October neat, and then they Can only obta ; n license from court at the coat of thirty dollars. * The proviso at the end of the fouttli sec tion is conclusive upon the point that they can not obtain license this spring from the Coomy Treasurer. It was introduced in the Senate. Merchants must therefore quit sell ing liquor alter the first ol May. Beer and ale houses are in the same fix, except that they will not even bo able to obtain license after the first of October under the new law. Oyster cellars ami restaurants may be licensed I tins spring as before, but cannot sell liquor under any conditions. Another View ol the case- Tie Reading Gazette in speaking of the new anti-hceuse law says:— It appears to us, that the Earners of all the anti liquor laws yet projected, have omitted one important provision, and that is, the punishment of the liquor drinkers as well as the sellers. If it is a crime and sin—as mo dern reformers would force the world to be lieve—to sell liquor, on Sunday or any other day, it is equally, if not more, a crime, to diink it. Indeed, reasoning by analogy, the latter act alono should be considered crimi nal. Our laws do t.ol punish bint who sells ■ a pistol, a dagger, or a dose of poison, but only the assassin who uses (hose weapons, and the artful murderer who administers the deadly potion. Suicide is a felony at com mon law, only distinguished from other felonies by the fact that ihe victim is beyond the reach of punishment. But, liquor being only a " slow poison"—as the teetotalers tell us—lire suicides who go lo their deaths by its means, mo witlriri reach of the law, for a time, at least. led us have stringent laws to punish rum drinking; ro d there will be very little occasion lor Ac is to prohibit rum aching. Foreign Kt wi. The steam-ship Nashville arrived at New Yotk yesterday with later intelligence from the seat of war. There is but little expecta tion of peace, and the Emperor Alexander is evidently preparing for a desperate strug gle. One hundred and fifty thousand Rus sians have been marched nearthe Baltic,and two fortified camps consiructeir between Riga, Narva, and Revel. The approaches to the seaport towns have been blocked up wi:h sunken vessels. The Grind Duke Con stantino lias gone lo coast and Gull of Finland. Ftneen tltoi'saniT Russian reinforcements had arrived ai Sebas- I lopol on the 18th. I'reviuue to the adjourn ment of Ihe Vienna Conference, the Russian Plenipotenlaries refused 10 admit, that in ac cepting the third point, they have acknowl edged the principle of a diminution of the Russian power in the Black sea, asserting ttiat such a demand was contrary to the dig nity and eovereigtr rights of the empire. Nesselrode w ill attend Ute Conference lo discuss the third point. It is said, that the allies will make a proposition to exclude all ships-of-war from the Black Sea.

She declares that she entered into the present arrangement for the purpose of checking, not crippling Russia. 'lhe Rus sians still maintain their ad van'age* in the ! Crimea. Ornar Pasha had made a reconnoi tre of Ihe Russian position on the Alma, with i twenty-four thousand men. All the allied ships of-war at Constantinople have been or dered to Sebsstopol. The Austrian army of observation was drawing closer to the Prutb and Danube. CP" Ihe Beautiful Astronomical Phenomenon ol the occultation, or eclipse, of Venus, by the Moon, was witnessed on Wednesday evening. These heavenly bodies were im mediately after dark, observed to be slowly approaching each other, and at 15 minutes after 8 o'clock, Venus was totally obscured i by lite Moon. Both pUuets hud sunk be low the horizon, before the star of love emerged from her eclipse. JOHNSTON VS. DAREIE.— The Chambers burg Whig has information that Gov. Johns ton bus signified his willingness to accept the K. N. nomination for State Senator in the Allegheny district at the next election, und that the nomination will be conceded lo hint. On the other side, it is understood that George Darsie, present member, will bo supported by a fusion of the old line Whigs and Democrats. This will make an interes ting aud exciting contest. A LADT or METTLE.— The Boston Times publishes a letter, purporting to come from Mrs. Patterson, threatening to cowhide uny one who saya anything calumnious of either herself or Mr. Hiss, the member of the Nun nery Investigating Committee, wbn, it is al leged, look lodgings for himsetl and a lady and charged it in the bill against the Stale, as due for the labors of the Committee. The letter has rather a fishy air about it. Gratitude to Slaves —.Two male slaves of the late Mr. B. B.

A SAFETY-VALVE FOR NEW YORK.—Hobo ken is likely lo beeome an Alsalia, under the operation of the prohibitory liquor Haw. Tight men and loose women will be |>lenlv ns blackberries there, after the Fourth of Ju ly. Many of our retail liquor dealers have already tented premises, in the new city, with tbe design of mtrrying on their old busi ness there ; arfH%ef*l, high priestesses of Venus are about to "tjjrry their household gods (ami over to the Jersey shore.

A Itcmrdy for Scarlet Fever. The following eure for this malignant dis ease is given in tbe Delaware Republican, by a physician: Messrs. Editors: —You will confer a favor on some of your readers, at least, by publish ing this receipt for Scarlet Fever in all its slu ,^s I _an^u^lNeM^^mjjg^inemer^cMCS^mit ment, although apparently simple, you will find a sovereign remedy, arid will save many ol your little ones from a premature grave, which is almost sure to (ollotv the use of cal omel, which universally tends to increase the disease instead o! curing it. Treatment as follows:—Give a mild cathartic, Such as cas tor oil or sum* gentle pills, evety two or three days, and w hen there is a fever present, sponge the body with weak ley, and give some simple tea lo promote a perspiration,' such as catnip, sage, balm, &c.; and for the putrid symptoms givo good brewer's yeast, mixed with cold water; one tablespnonfuil or the former to two lablespoottful of the latter, for children ten or twelve years old, and younger ones according to age ; to be re peated from three to five limes a day; and use as a gargle yeast and oream or milk, equal parts, sweetened with honey, and gar gle lti throat aud'mouth frequently with it; and if Ihe throat is much swollen, poultice with yeast and pulverized slippery elm, con tinue ihe above treatment until well, f know by many year's experience, that '.his is the best and most effectual way to cure the scar let fever. • How OUR BODIES ARE MADE DP. —Tho fol lowing is a forcible illustration otlhe way we supply the natural waste of the body; Let it be remembered that, lo taka food, is to mate man. Eatiig is the processby which the noblest of terrnisial fabrics is constantly repaired. All our limbs and organs have been picked up from our plates. XXr'e Dave been served up at table many limes over.— Every individual is literally a mass of vivifi ed viands ; be is ati epitome of innumerable meals ; ha hat dined upon himself, supped upon himself, and in fact—paradoxical as it may appear—ha* again und again leaped down his own throat. Liebeg slates that an adult pig weighing one bundled and twenty pounds will consume five thousand, one hun dred and leu pounds of potatoes in tho course of a year, and yet at the expiration of that period its weight may not have increased a single ounce. IF" OF all things in the world lo core de pression ol spirits, occupation is the most powerfully effective; no matter the pursuit, anything is better than giving way to the one thought.

A mixed Food Ntceasary- If I only bond my arm, or move my fin ger, there is a certain portion of thff tissues destroyed which muat be supplied by my food; the more work that a man performs, the more of those nitrogenous substances he requires. So far as supplying the waste of the tissues, it is a matter of indifference whether we give an animal food containing gluten or albumen ; but it exercises a con siderable influence on the character of the animal. Take, for example, a hunt, at which we have an omnivorous animal, man, riding on a graminivorous animal, a horse, accompanied by a carnivorous animal, a Uog, following an herbivorous animal, a hare. Even the character of nations is very materially affucted indeed by their food.— The other class of food serves a very im portant, but totally different purpose—name ly, that of supplying animal heat. The tem perature of our bodies is, in temperate cli mates at least, higher than the surrounding air. Now, in order to keep up this tempera ture, a combustion goes on similar to that of an ordinary fire. The same products—car bonic ac.'d, water and utnmoria—are evolved from the mouth of the furnace of the body and the mouth of common chimney. In cold weather, a certain portion of beat is gradually abstracted frcrn our body, which must be supplied by the combustion of our food or of the matter of our bodies ; the col lier the climato, therefore, the more hcal giviug materials must be supplied in the food.— Professor Lyon Ploy/air.
