Zig natty Illorning Post. THOS. PHILLIPS & WX• 11. SMITH, EDITORS. PITTSBURGH, MONDAY, NOV MOE* 11, Expacssas.—The most extraordinary things of the present ago are the expresses by which the whigs get alto first retinas of the electives that take place. No. t'ling can equal them in speed except Morse's Tole or a "streak of greased lighteing;" and we be lieve, thekia a Case of great emergency to the party, die Whig Eaprassers could beat a Allah of electricity •al -to thunder." The great speed with which our othig. friends transmit election news—we cannot call it information—was never made so apparent as during iko present contest. To soy that they have it in "ad -, ante of the mails," would give but a faint idea of - their smartness, and if it were not for one little objec ion, itwould not surprise es if the whig expresses should, in a short time, completely eclipse the fame of Morse wad his Telegraph. But like all new and great inventions, whig expres w,s are, as yet, somewhat imperfect, and it is feared sliat no time will enable the inventors to correct the toils. The only serious objection to this modern in. v .ation-is that it was never known Co cars y a word 4.f tenth. and from all the news it ever brought, a word _ ~;("correct infotmation has never been extracted. For itstame, the fitst day after the Virginia election, the whigs learned by their extraordinary express that the -tate had gone for Clay by a handsome majority. This was, of cours^, falsified by the correct returns. : 2 Their next grand effort was front New York, and by . .the speed and accuracy with which the returns reached mt, it was clearly shown that the express was o genuine .whig invention. On Thursday morning, one day after the election, they had a full account from New Yolk city, by what Ahoy called the Ashland Express, and the majority 'for . Clay was 8343, precisely. This kept the whigs in a glorious hem( all day, and. they thought nothing cupid compare with the Addax-di Express, but in the -evening the mail came creeping along, .and not only -demolished the whole whig majority of 8313, but 'showed that the Gothomites had given upwards of 1000 against the great embodiment of whiggery. We only cite these two instances from teeny, to show the smartness of whig expresses and tocommend it to public paironage whenever the proprietors can ge t ahem to tell any thing like the truth. • From the N. Y. Evening Post. Loam's, Oct. 18, 1844. — Liesis Phißippe has been here and gone. Six days 'was the period of his visit in point of time. In other %respects it was of a privute and social character.— His Majesty drove about the Hume Park, paid visits to Hampton Court, Eton College, and oilier places of ;interest in the vicinity of Windsor, accompanied on each omission by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. and in short by all accounts, the different parties en joyed themselves just as s nugly and comfortably as if -unencumbered with crowns. This i 3 the first time which a reigning king of , :France has ever visited Engleuel—(Louis the XVIII, and Chas X. being exiles)—but it is to be hoped it ' will not be the last. As Duke of Orleans, Louis Phil- Impe live d for some time at Twickenintm, on the ! Atanks of the Thames; and on the occasion of the 'Corporation of London piesenting an address to him at Windsor the other day, his Majesty, in course of conversation with the Lord Mayer, informed him that ..he "knew all the wards of London," as well as the , Lord Mayor himself. The King took his departure fur Windsor on Mon -day last, accompanied by the Queen and I'rince Albert to Portsmouth, the Queen contemplating a short resi dence on the Isle of Wight. When the royal party, 'however, reached Portsmouth, the rain was descend ing in =treats: the wind was blowing "greet guns.' and the sea was blowing into Portsmouth harbor in a style which sat the ships of war there plunging and dancing in beautiful style. A consultation was held, the result ef 'Wich was, that Louis Philippe resolved motto face the south-wester then at its height, but started by railway for Dever, in order to cross the nar row straits, between there and Calais, a steamer be ans; in the meanwhile despatched from Portsmouth to Treport, to inform the Queen of the French of the change in his rout.

The same morning Queen Victoria and Prince Al bert embarked for the Isle of Wight, and took up their residence at Osborne House. There is a complete dearth of political topics and 'events. Nothing stirring. Lord Ellenborough has arrived in England from India, and has been created Viscount Southam. This is a sett of sedative to allay the vexation which his Lordship must suffer in cense •squence of being recalled by the last Indian Company. There have been heavy gales, and tunny vessels have been lost, more particularly on the rugged Welsh coast. The present is the season for agricultural meetings. The condition of the labelers is attracting attention, stud various schemes are being proposed with a view -to better their condition. .Mrs Louisa Crenstoun Nesbitt. the celebrate.' ac tress. has married Sir William Bootbby. a gentlemen' holding a lucrative situation in the Customs.

O'Connell has issued a long letter, which was read the other day at the weekly meeting of the Repeal Association. In it he says he prefers federalism to rpesitive repeal. but finishes as usual, ith "Hurrah for i Repeal." The letter is thought to be of a negative wend conciliatory character.

All the returns thnt have been received. from Indi ana, indicate that the vote will be a close one, but thus far the indications are in favor of Polk and Dallas.— The Cincinnati Enquirer, of Thursday, gives the NI- lowing: We have not yet received sufficient news from the Hoosier State to justify us in forming a confident opin ion of the result. Both parties claim the State—the democrats with lareng hope, and the whip with strong doubt.

GOVERNMENT OF TH E C HE ROKEE NATION. The removal of the great mass of the Cherokee People from tbelt "beloved land," now pltrtiliallSeti be tween the states of Georgia, North Carolina, Alabama and 'Tenneseee. was forcibly effected by the United States, in 1938, ender circumstances of almost un paralleled hardships, disease and. suffering. In the succeeding year, they arrived in the present Otero. kee country—entered inter an Act of Union with those of their brothers who had preceded them hither, some by many years, and mutually adopted, under ibe “style and title of the Cherokee Mating'," their minuet gov ernment. Of this government, eat rent below • synopsis, intending to follow it shortly with the Coo -1 istilution and Laws in full. The Government of the Cherokee Nation is Re publican—and is composed of the Executive, Le,gir [alive. and the 'edictal Departments. The Executive Department consists of a principal Chief, an assistant priacipal Chief, and an Executive Council of five members. The Principal and Assistant Chiefs are elected once in every flUf sears, by a majority Of the qualified voter, of the Nation; every Mine male Cherokee citi zen, who has attained the age of 18 years, being enti- tied Ws vote. It it the duty of the principal Chief to see that the laws are regularly enforced, and to discharge those functions ustrilly vested in an Executive Head. He is empowered with the veto and the power of pardoe ing persons convicted and sentenced to punishment for capital crimes', under certain restrirtions. The Legislative Depanternteonsists of the Nation al Committee end the Council—each of the eight Die trio.. into which the Nation is divided, being rept,- sensed by two members in the famer branch, and three in the latter. These members are elected In the same manner as the Chiefs, once every two years. They meet annually, at Tahlequah. on the first Mon day in October. in General Council. to legislate upon the general affairs of the Nation. No bill can beco.ne a law until it has received the concurrence of both blanches of the National Council and the approval of the principal Chief. le CAM the principal Chief dis approves of any bill which has passed the National Council, he returns it with his ted objections in writing Loth° body in which it origina. A vote of thinls of the members of the National Council is ne cessnry to make any bill a law, the passage of which has been objected to by the principal Chief. The powetsof the National Committee and the Coun cil arc the same, except in cantor impeachment, and appropriations of money. All appropriationsorigiu ate in the Council, but are subject to approval, modi fication, or rejection by the National Committee. Impeachment for violatbm or neglect of duty may be tendered by the Council against any public officer;of the Nation. The National Committee then becomesa specially constituted court for the trial of such case. Members of the National Council receive fur their services a per diem, of three dollars, while they are in session. The Judiciary is divided into the Supreme, the Cir cuit and the District Courts, whose respective duties and jurisdiction arc clearly defined by law. The Supreme Court consists of a Chief Justice and four Associates—the Circuit Court of a Judge for each of the two Judicial Circuits into which the Na tion is divided, and the District Court of a Judge for each of the eight Districts. All Judges are elected by a . joint vote of the Cum- All and Council. The Supreme Judges bold their seats for the term of fouryears, the Circuit two yeasts, and the District one year. They receive a per diem of five dollars, while engaged in bolding Court ; the second two hun dred and fifty dollars per annum, and the lest:eine hun dred dollars. In addition t.) these officers, there is also a Sheriff for each district, who is elected by the voter s of his district every two yeses, and who receives for his ser vices a salary of two hundred dollars per annum. The right of trial by an impartial jury of hiscoun trymen, and of being confronted fecolo faze by his, accusers and witnesses, and legal advice is secured to every person amenable to, and charged with as in fraction of the laws of the Cherokee Nation. The laws of the-Cherokees are not sanguinary, nor unnecessarily serrere—murder and treason being t he only crimes punishable with death. Thefts, arson and similar offences with stripes. Debts are recoverable by law. The property of the wife cannot be sold without her coneent,tossati4 debts contracted by her husband, and eiestsersa. The Cherokees have no 'system of taxation. All expenses attending the administrative of their public •gbsrs, are defrayed out of annuities received front the United States.

From a late London Paper. EARLY CLOSING OE SHOPS. A meeting was held in London; October 9 r for the purpose of devising means to induce the shop-keepers to close their shops at an earlier hour than they uow do. Exeter Hall was crowded by young men con nected with the retail trade of London. Among the audience were upwards of five hundred employers, and also . a great 'number of young ladies who were evidently greatly interested in the proceedings of the meeting. The object aimed at was stated to be "to obtain an abridgment of the hours of business in the drapery and other trades of the metropolis, with a view to the physical, mortiland intellectual im..rove meet of the assistants." The plan adopted to accom plish this object is not, in the first instance, to appeal to employers to close their establishments at any spe cific hour, but to persuade Ike pith& to abstain from making purchases in the evening, and sn, by remo ving all inducements,.to make it unnecessary for shops to be kept open beyond a reasonable time; thus render ing it practicable for all employers who are favorable to the change to close their ,establiishments without loss, and without fear from the competition of others. In furtherance of this plan the Central Committee have published a prize essay on the evils of the sys- I tem, which has reached its thirteenth thousand, and upwards of a quarteref a million of addresses, tracts &e., have been gratuitously distributed. Six great public meetings have been held in various parts of the metropolis. Set mons and lectures have also been delivered at different periods on the same subject.— The success attending the efforts of the Association has exceeded expectation. Very many eminent men, headed by the chief magistrate of the greatest com mercial city in the world, have given their names, and pearlised their cordial support. A rest m tjurity of employers have signified their approval of its principles, and many have powerfully sided its progress by active exertions in public and in ptivate, and by !erect pecuniary contributions to its funds. A large portion of the press has ably end en ergetically advocated the cause. Public opinion has by these means been enlisted tort considerable extent; public sympathy has been awakened. and eeening , trade has been greatly diminished. During the last winter many establishments were shut at seven o'- clock, sod a disposition to adopt earlier hours was generally übseevahle. The eubjecthaving been brought under the notice of the last Wesleyan Cortference, they have inserted in their published minutes, an exhot ta lion torefrain from evening shopping. addressed to their members and congregations. It is worthy of remark, that the members of other trades are follow ing the example of this Association and are commen-1 Ling similar movements, and from a coutinuourr mitres petulance with the secretaries of provincial asset:fie tines it has been ascertained that a general public feeling in favor of earlier hours hes been a wakened.' One et the speaker* (Mr Wise) said be was told there were 50,000 young men and females in connec tion with the shops and large establishments of the Metropolis, and that these persons on an average were employed for 15 hours daily. Now what was the consequences of such a spiv mas this ? V 1 hy, that there was neither time for instructing the mind, of benefitting the body. or of improving the soul, (hear.) And yet it wilt said that they lived in a free country and a Christian country. If this was so, and he was I nor disposed to dispute it, why were net opportunities afforded to all classes to be acerelieeed from their toils,l I that they could epprepriate *erne portioa of their time Ito their mental and moral improvement 1 (Chewier.) If the present system does not benefit the employer, does it serve the public ? Was it the modest and ro tiring portion of the women of this errantry that were seen prowling about shopping at night i Would not the ladies serve themselves and the - muse of humanity by making their purchases in the day there ie-teal of doing so at night? Ought they not to recollect that the beings wise serve them were entitled to recreation, both of body and mind, as well as themselves? There were many mils which existed in this country merely because the public did not think. Let the public be but made aware of - the extent of the evil which existed in this case, and they might depend upon it would soon be remedied. YANKEES IN ENGLAND.

They should be as thick as the Cheshire cheese. which is slant two-tbirdsas thick as the diameter a cross—this size would be more likely to preserve it from damage in shipment, and would make it much more saleable in the English market.

Pennsylvania*. than a hasty notice of the prominent topics on which hal commented at considerable length, and with great te- I search and eloquence. He spoke of the temporal na ture of' all earthly things; traced organization from its origin to things unorgan'zed; and contended that all proved that God, their creator was self-existent and eternal being. The Bible declared that God created the heaven and the earth. After all other f o rmations were ended he created man, the most finished speci men of created beings. He glanced at the accounts of the origin of the world by the Chinese, anti showed that those accounts have been found to be fictitious, and that their antiqui ties do not reach beyond - the age of Abraham. and while the chronology of the Bible stands uncontradic tad. Dr Nott then spoke of the agreement between the Bible and geology. Geologists have ascertained that man was the last created being, and holds the last place in the older of creatiote that both agree as to the convuleione which have occurred; and as to the destruction of the earth by fire and flood, both are re corded in the book of Rovelsolims and of Nature. He then spoke of the duration of the earth; alluded to Miller's predictions; quoted passages from the Bi ble in opposition to Miller's interpretation; contended that the idea that Satan was to reign on the earth for 311 thousand years, while Christ was to reign but oat thousand, was unreasonable, and that if a day meant a year his reign would be three hundred and sixty five t hey:sand years; but his reign would be eternal, anti he supported it by passages from the Scriptural. He said that the Scripture declared that the heavens and the earth were to wax old, Stc. but that though great cb had an g!iia had taken place, nothing yet indicated that it Funewn old. These changes had taken place at long i rands, but men was promised that as long as the arid moon endured he should dwell in it. That the Book of nature spoke of an extended dm ranee, which was manifested by the coal formations.and which have been going on for ages to provide for the future want of man; and that man is, therefote, destin ed to occupy hie present dwelling place for a great length of time. He agreed that it would at leasehow ever, be brought to an end; the bible declares that the world will have an end, and natere confirms the troth of this declaration in language not less impres sive and awful. How lung, be netted, would those in ternal fires of vele/m.)44, Ste., whichhave been so alar ming and dreadful, but which were infect saf.sty valves, be kept open? Should they be closed up, and the cruet of the earth rent era, destruction would follow. La Place and others he said, had described the destruc tion of a planet, which lasted for six months. What has been may be again, and our sun, moon and stars will be destroyed; but the Bible assures us that our planet will be rebuilt in new splendor and beauty. 1 Dr Nott, then briefly considered a single discrepancy between the Bible and geology, but he thought the difference not real. It related to the time, as men tioned by Moses, for the formation of the would, which he examined at dame length. He rekrred to coal for mations and said some geologists bad asserted that it would require sixteen thousand ,years to form a bed of coal of 80 feet in thickness; and yet it has been ascrr tained. be observed. that a brief period is employed in providing c h aseh vast mineral masses. Geology as•prosed that rapid changes frequently take place in the labratury of maitre, and that effects have been wrought in days and hours formerly, that now require ages to produce them. He spoke of the absence of human firssits, and thought that though they had not been found, it did not follow that they will not be, when the crust or the earth is more fully explored; and believed that further examinations in Asia, the era- dle of nations would throw new light on the subject. He then ente red ' into en examination of the Mosaic account of the creation, and explained the various in terpretations which had been given to the six days, 1 , which Dr. N. contended were periuds of indefinite length. On this brunch of the subject his explanations were ataime length, and we have only leisure to remark, that the religious tone of that admirable essay was a bove all praise. He urged the necessity of connect ing faith with science; that it was idle to place the world on the back of a tortoise; that a striking agree ment existed between geology and religion and that geology arid revelation moved band and hand to a cers tain extent; that when nature was fully understood, ge ology would speak the truth; that an undevoted gess logist, like an undevout est emomer, was mad: and that a strong affinity existed between religion and geology. Dr Notes conclusion was classical, beautiful, and im pressive, and afforded great improvement as well as high gratification to all who heard it. COLEMAN'S lIMPROVENIENTIN THE PIANO This remarkable invention of Mr. Coleman, well known in this city Is a performer on the Accordion) has become professedly 'lke go," and has realized a snug fortune for the lucky discoverer. The improve. meat consists of an "Eolian attachment," as the in ventor calls it, being a very simple piece of mechan ism, which is at all times easily applied to all varieties of the pieno, and which gives new and wonderfully increased power sod sweetness to that delightful in strument. The New York Republic states that Reynolds & Clarke, of that city, bought it for the enormous sum of $lOO,OO O , granting besides a certain amount on all pianos manufactured of this description. It may be justly inferred that the improvement is, indeed, a re markable one to command such a purchase. The same paper relates part of the history of Mr. Coleman and his success in the following paragraph: Constant excitement of life had such pernicious ef fect upon the oeeritrainecr nerves of young Coleman, who was reduced to a mete shadow by his previous de votion toll* musical studies, that be was compelled 1 to fly precipitately from his home to seek that. calm and tranquilits which was necessary to preserve his life. On his arrival at London, a few weeks AMC, he fur a while escaped the dreadful stimulus he had un dergone hem, bat no sooner was his piano opened than its fianse spread like wildfire. We cannot forbear to notice the kind, almost paternal attentions that Coleman received at the handl of that" distinguished gentleman who, to the honor of himself sod the credit P. T.
