attention. Into its history, and a study of the habits.

a natural enthusiasm, and collected a variety of filets
tending to eluridnte all these subjects. -In a public
address, delivered not long after his return to the Uni

closely cementing their marital amity. The freedom
of the seas, the rights of nestbrality, the scarcitiess

confidence wnich the forecast of Mr. Jefferson strove
to rivet. To these ties are since added otheis, spring

H. A. MUHLENBERG.
To-day the Antimasons of the country ate to be se
ct ificed at the Court I.louse. We observed some of the
whig leaders of the city running round yesterday co!.
lecting information respecting the opinions of the dele
egntes, and we suppose they ascertained that they were
of the •right stripe' to carry not the projects of the city
cliques, for in the evening the American denounced in
direct terms some of the country Ant itnasons,and issued
its perern2tory protest against the convention nomi
nating any tine from the country for certain offices.—
This looks as if the squatters of the city hud theball at
their foot, and could manage matters in whatever man.
ner may be most agreeable to themselves, and the poor
antics of the country must stand back and take what
ever their new leaders may choose to give them.
Times have changed when such old citizens as FRAN..
CTS KARNS and JOHN SHERIFF hare to fall back and
make way for the preferment of DEOROZ MAISIE and
THOMAS BIGHAM, Eggs.—one a masonic whig, man
ufactured out of a renouncing dernoct at, and the other
R squatter all the way from Dauphin county. It is no
thing in the eyes of the new loaders of the coon pary
that Messrs KAitifs and SUE.RIFF are old and highly
respectable citizens. who have spent long and useful
lives among the voters athe country and who are in
timately acquainted ‘‘ itli the interests of their fellow
citizens. Their practical goad settsn j 5 no rocom
mendat ion to them; they have not the cringing polish
of the practiced politician or the bold linuaggsr of the
adventurous squatters who have come to gather milk
and honey in this land of promise. .
So far as the succeas.of our party is conCerned, we
would much rather that the city clique should succeed,
but at the same time, we cannot helpconderoning the
‘2,,,onprous manner in which worthy men are initulted
to please the ambition of acliqueof political schemers.

In the Senate, to-day the two harbor bills—one
making appropriations fur western harbors and rivers,
the other for bar mrs on the Atlantic seaboard—were,
after varionslneUctual attempts to eddpippropriations
by amendment, read a third time, and passed. The
Senate then went lino executive session; and, after
some time spent therein adjourned.
In the House, the first business was an alteration of
the hour of meeting From 11 to 1Q o'clock; at which
time the Molise Wirr meet during the residue of Ole ses
sion. Some bills, which had inin some time on the
Speaker's table, a large number of which were private
bills, were next taken up on their third reading, and
distrised of, occupying the House nearly through the
entire day. One of these bills woe !Nat which propo
ses to attend to Lieutenant tVilkes, tied other authors
of the narrative of the exploring expedition, the copy

was, at length, laid on the table by a large nrkinrity.
The House cleared the Speaker's table of all such

who were playing beneath it. of whom six we r e in

children of Mr Louis Jones, one of a Mr Paul, one of
aMr Spencer, and one of Mr Rems—ell dead! The
seventh, a child of Mr Clevenger, was alive and like

Will not this terrible accident be a warning to pa

young children to run and play in crowded thorough

of St Louis, have hen saki for sump time in this city.
All who use it have found it remarkable for accuracy
of calibrn and unifor miry of thick ness,and perfectly free

The following is=the
REPORT
Of a Committee of the Franklin Imditute upon Tatham
& Brothers' Patent Improved Leaden Pipes, &a.
Hall of the Franklin Institute,
Philadelphia, Nov. 11, 1841..'
The committee on Prience and arts, constimed by
the Franklin Institut, of the state of Pennsylvania, for
the promotion of the mechanic arts, to whom was refer.
red for ex n m inat ion the Patent Improved Leaden Pipe*
manufactured by Messrs. Tatham & Brothers, of Phil•
adelphin, Pa.
Report, that they have carefully examined many spe
cimens of these pipes, selectee by themselves and sub
jected them to repeated trials by a suitable force pumps
The pressnre was cautiously increased until the burls"
ting point w3,..4 attained in i very instance, and the pbe.7r
nomdua accurately observed. • 4.-'
From the results of these trials the committee are
tintinimotrdy of opinion, that these pipes pousess
some important advantages over those heretofore
rased.
Ist The Strength is equal to the inanimate strength
of lead due tit the form and weight of the tube; thus ex
hibithrg ti rate coincidence between theoretical and
prnetical perfection in this respect. The uniformity
of the thickness rind perfact accuracy; ofthe hnee,•whieh
are attained by this mode of manufacture, insure this
glitserioreirtS on ;he stiengetiriendeu'ritpil exhibit
many discordant and embarrassing charneters, arifrh
have occasioned the committee some anxiety. It is *ell
known that the presence of a small portion of tin, or
other metal; which is usnallyelloyed with lead always
effects its hardness arid strength; so dint VIP*" mode
precisely in the snore manner, of fend procured frOm
different and even from the same-mines, vary exceed
ingly in strength. This source of ensirr cannot, be as
certained without great diffmolty, and the commit tee
have taken it into consideration.
Absence of Flaws.—As the metal is forced
tun from the receivers under enormous pressure whilst
acquiring its form, flaws are avoided, which se often
exist in the ordinary castings. It is moneover4roba.
ble, that such pressure, whilst consolidating the metal,
contributes to its strength.
3d. Absence of Scales of Leta and PoNalk Ofthe
Tafe;ior.—The piper nro perfectly clean within, a nd
from the mode of making them, must necesamily ht
Chia desirable propetly. The rei fectpoiiFh sh•oruCiii.
toles the motion of fluids.
4. Uniformity of Bore.—The calibre is capable
of being made precisely iltn tame throughout while the
common leaden pipes may vary even when made with
sth. Economy of Metal, resulting from the con
centricity of the interior and exterior surfaces. No
metal is wasted from variation in thickness.
