reply of Mr. Wickliffe was dignified, eloquent end im
pressive; KO, in it, he paid a handsome compliment
to the exalted character and high qualifications of his
successor.
There is a dispute about the manner in which the
proceeds of the proposed Benefit of the sufferers by the
late firesball be distributed. Some wish them to go to
- the performers in the Theatre, only—others wish them
divided among a number of very worthy poor people
seven as the players. Had they not better see bow

last, the nomination of Mr BANCROFT was confirmed
wilhout a dissenting voice. We are rejoiced at this
result, for there is no man of greater talent and higher
&erecter, in the country. As we supposed the reason
assigned for the delay in confitming him were errone
ous—mere false conjectures. The Globe says: We
have beard thatch° object of the poatponment asked
for by a member of the Senate. arose out of a wish to
examine some public letter written by Mr Bancroft, in
reference to the imprisonment of Governor Dort. We
suppose the purport of the letter must have been
grossly misrepresented; for certainly nothing ever came
from the pen of Mr Bancroft more honorable to his
bead or his heart. We learn with great pleasure,
that the mover of the incipient inquiry gave notice
that he dropped it, and the confirmation of the nomi
nation was unanimous.
The organisation of the committees in the Senate
shows an array of commanding strength in support of
the new administration. The first. which looks to
foreign affairs, it %ill be seen, bas on it strong men
from every section. Gen Cass, we learn, waived the
tender of the first place, which his age commanded, in
favor of Mr Allen.
POST 07/ICE AGES T.-WO understand that Ct.l.
JOHN BIGLER. of this city, has been appointed agent
of this P. 0. Department. We do not believe it ,
would have been possible to make a better selection
for the arduous and important post, and indeed, there
are very few persons in the whole country so well goal-
tied to do its duties properly. Tobe an efficient agent,
an intimate acquaintance with all the details of Post
Office business. is indispensably requisite. This
knowledge Col. B. has thoroughly acquired by sever
al years experience in the Post Office in this city;
where, by his untiring Mdustry, and accommodating
deportment, he secured the approbation and tegard of
all who did business with him. The numerous friends
of Col BIGLER in this city, will be deeply gratified to
hear of his appointment.

INTERESTING TARIFF TAELES —Mr WRIGHT, &
member of Congress, from Indiana, introduces some
tables showing the amount of duties on certain arti•
cles, and the revenue raised from each in Great Bri
tain and in this country. The following is the British
table:
The net produce of the revenue of the custom• (in
warchi) of Great Britain, for the year
ending sth January, 1840, amounted
to £20,956,551
Ditto do of Ireland 2,006,057
Total £22,962,610
Of the above revenue, there is levied on
I 46 articles
On all tarifred and enumerated, and on
all other unenurnerated articles
Totnl, £22,962,610
en the following 10 leading articles of
importation. the revenue levied in the
year ending sth January, 1840, was:
1. Sagan; and molasses £4,826.917
2. Tea 3,658,763
3. Spirits 2.615,413
4. Wine 1,849,308
5. Tobacco 3,495.686
6. Coffee and cocoa 794.818
7. Fruits of all kinds 462,002
8. Timber and dry woods 1,668.584
9. Corn, grain, meal and rice 1,131,075
10. Provisions (including bacon,hams.
butter, eggs, &c.)
It will be seen that most of the duties here set down,
were not levied with reference to protection, and
that nearly two-thirds of the revenue collected have
beau raised off Sugar and Molasses, Coffee, Fruit,
Timber and Corn, articles of prime necessity, and
many of which are used by the poorer classes, and of
course they pay most of the duties upon the greater
part of them. The remaining articles, which pay but
little over a third of the above sum, are Spirits, Wine,
and Yobacco,—an4 of these, Tobacco, which is chief
ly used by the poor, pays a very large proportion, while
wine, imported chiefly for the use of the rich, pays the
smallest part. Thus, it is asserted that "more than
two-thirda of her revenue from customs is raised upon
articles consumed by her laboring millions, while her
overgrown capitalist is exempt from taxation." The
following statements relate to our own country, and
, were prepared by the Register of toe Treasury:

LOTTE RIZ/1.-Dr. Solomon Andrews is lecturing in
the East on the evils of Lotteries, and exposing the
basis of the whole system, which be said says it con
structed that it must inevitably afford immense profits
to the Managers. On the 7tb inst., he lectured to a
large audience in Jersey city. The seats'were all filled,
as well as the gallery, and many were compelled to
stand in the lobby. The Dr. commenced by explain
ing the old fashioned lotteries, and their mode of draw
ing, and then entered into a description of the com
bination system. He said he commenced his investi
gation about 16 years ago, and a few years since en
deavored to obtain a contract from a lottery manager,
to secure a certain number of tickets in several succes
sive lotteries, being willing under such a contract to
purchase from $20.000 to $90,000 worth of tickets in
every such lottery, but the manager a mild not accept
his proposition.
His explanations were so simplified, rcd mode so
lucid and plain, that the eyes of most, if not all his
audience were opened, and they became satisfied of
the unfairness of this combination system. His de
monstrations were in figures upon the blackboard,
and he wound up by drawing a lottery before the com
mittee, in which he cleared about $30,000 on the se
lection of tickets made by him.

Cobb's New Series of School Books,
WHICH are rapidly taking the place of all other
similar works extant.
PROM TETE PRINCIPAL OF ZANE STREIT PUBLIC
GRAMMAR SCHOOL, PHILA.
EDWARD C. BIDDLE, Esq.—Dear Sir—l have
patiently and carefully examined Mr Lyman Cobb's
works, which you submitted to me; and I feel perfect
ly willing to give my opinion on them. OF his Spel
ling Book, I would say that h has 6 peculiarities, all
of which I consider to be much in its favor, viz:
Ist. It has no repetition, for out of 15,000 words 1
counted, I think, I could not find one which bad been
repeated.
2d. The arrangement of the words is such that a
pupil can not possibly learn error, but must learn to
spell properly.
3d. Spelling is in this work more play than labor,
for the learning of 3 or 4 words in every section is a
perfect clue to the rest.
4th. The increased quantity of matter gives a better
knowledge of the language, and leaves less to learn
subsequently.
sth. The number of words of similar sound, but
different in spelling and definition, is much greater
and more complete than usual.
6th. The words are spelled according to the genius
of the language, and not the private opinion of the
author.
All these peculiarities are neglected in some of the
former publications, and in most some are not found.
I do think Mr Cobb has done the public a favor, and I
trust that he may find his labors appreciated properly.
With regard to his series of Readers, there can, I
think, be but one sentiment, viz that where a pupil
is caused to adhere closely to Mr Cobb's plan, he must
necessarily read more understandingly than he possi
bly can in the books commonly used for that perpose,
this is secured by the previous lesson, which not only
gives the definition in an abstract point of view, but in
the manner in which it is used in the subsequent read
ing lesson, so that by the combination the pupil not
only learns to read and define, but also learns the ap
plication of language, and is taught (orally as it were)
to compose. How much better is this than the old
hackneyed definers in which the definition is really
often more difficult to be understood than the word
itself. And in the article of expense, Mr Cobb's one
book serves the place of two, thereby saving the cost
of one of them, which on that score proves economical,
therefore I must reiterate what I said before, Mr Cobb
has done the public a favor which I sincerely trust will
be properly remunerated.
Yours, very respectfully,
W. G. E, AGNEW,
Principal Zane st. Public Grammar School,
The undersigned having examined Cobb's new se
ries of School Books, most cheerfully concur in the
apinions expressed above, and earnestly recommend
them to the favorable notice of all teachers and direc
tors of Public Schools, confident that if they displace
all other similar works, it sill be for the furtherance
of elementary education a mong our children and youth.

Extract of a notice from the N. Y. Evening Mirror of
Jan. 31‘t, 45:
"In the North American Reader, all the defects of
the previous readers are obviated. A most perfect
system has been adopted, by which it is rendered almost
impossible for a child to go wrong.
In advance of each lesson is a series of definitions,
in which each important word of the lesson is explain
ed, spelled and accented. As he proceeds, new words
are presented, such as he has not seen before, and his
progress through the book is a series of triumphs
over difficulties for which he is duly prepared.
As regards the selections, they are from the best
authors, chiefly American and if they are not all of
the most perfect kind, they are nearly so, and will, in
this respect, compare with those of any other work.
Two striking features, however, deserve particular
attention. One is, that there are no extracts which
will confuse and endanger the opinions of the scholar
with regard to the fact, either in a moral, religious,
or philosophical point of view. There are no fictitious
dialogues between animals, none between mock het oes,
no falsification of history—no imaginary illustration
of truth.
There is nothing in the Reader which is not tree
and reliable—while the child learns to read, his mind
is trained, strengthened and improved. There is
nothing which his teacher would wish him to pass by
or forget. In this the American Reader displays a
vast superiority over all other works of the kind; and
we need not now fear that instruction in the art of
reading will carry with it any bad consequences, in
opinioos, in words, or in conduct.
We are happy to learn that the whole series of Mr
Cobb's reading books was adopted by the Board of
Control in Philadelphia, on Tuesday last. This move
ment will be found one of the most important and ben
eficial ever yet made in the State of Pennsylvania."
