WEIAT THE NORTH DOES FOR THR SoUTH.—The
Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle makes the following amusing
summary of the means which the North furnishes to
theSoutb:—"They build our houses, they adorn them
with every comfort and convenience of which we have
ever conjectured. They educate our children, and
-cover our nakedness from head to foot. with hats and
shoes, coats and shirts; we eat their flour, cheese, but

in their harness to their hay, drive their horses in
their carriages with their whips—we walk with their
sticks, ride on their saddles, write on their paper, wash
with their soap, scrub with their brushes, s weep w i t h
their brooms, milk In their pails, cook in their pots,
--strike with their hammers, blow with their bellows, cut
with their axes, sow with their seed, reap with their

• lime, paint with their paint, march with their tunes,
reed by their lights, drink their Congress water and
rum, smoke their segars—and last and best of all
these blessings, we marry their pretty girls, w ho make
the best of wives."
la'There is some probability that the proper
;,course will be resorted to at last for the suppression of
the slave trade. It is intimated in the foreign jour
tsels that the Commission now• sitting in London on the
Part of the British and French Governments, to de
vise some substitute for the right of search, will re
commend the plan of forming treaties with the na
tive chiefs on the Coast of Africa, by the stipulations
of which the traffic in slaves is to be prohibited.
RIVITTNIt AGOILESSION. — It is stated that the

has possession of this Island in time of war commands
the lake. If the statement be correct, it is manitesly
the duty of our government to despatch a small force
to Isle Royale, immediately, to oust the intruders.

The Travels and IVritings of H. R. Schoolcrafe ,
form an interesting article. Mr. S. furnishes a strong
illustration of the power of habit over men. In early
life he commenced his wanderings through the then
unexplored territories of the southwest and northwest,
and no peril nor privation has had power to wean him
from the pursuits of his early years. As civilization
t progresses, he plunge+ still further into the wilderness,
as the firemost pioneer. His works are replete with
I useful observation, and bear undoubted evidence of
talent.
One of the most interesting tales we have lately .
met with is to be found in this number of the Review,
translated from the German of Hoffman. It is called
The Faro Table, and illustrates the perils of the
gaming table, in a manner at once impressive and inter
esting. Wo are forced to omit a skeleton of the
story, and conter.t ourselves with this one extract:
.•There are two kinds of players. To many, play
itself as play. without regard to winning, presents an
indescribable Illlivsterious pleasure. In the strange
concatenation of accident alternating in the mysterious
game, the government of the Higher Power steps visi
bly out. and it is even this which urges on our spirit to
stir and essay its wings whether it may not soar to the
dark kingdom, the fatal worship of that Power to spy
out its labors. I have known a man, the day, the
night long, in his chamber make a bank and mark him
self the rime. He was the genuine gamester. Oth
ers haveonly the wincing before their eyes, and pur
sae the game as a means of speedily enriching them
' selves. The Chevalier proved that the true, deep
taste for play is part of the individual nature, must be
born with him."
How to Purchase old Paintings, by J. T. Head.

who have moramoney than discret ion. We make an
"The prices a traveller is made to pay for these
old daubs must furnish a vast deal of amusement to
the shrewd dealer. I once met an American in Italy
with a perfect mania of this kind. Every room in his
house was covered with paintings, of the age of which
there cannot be the least doubt, which we would not
absolutely pay the duty on in New York, if given us
and shipped for nothing. Being once in his room when
a regular sharper, that had been Jewing him for a
month, came io with a picture, I took the liberty of
telling him he was outrageously cheated. The paint
ing the fellow had brought was arranged in the best
possible light, and its virtues descanted on in the most
beautiful Italian. At length he wound up his long' ,
eulogy by saying, that he was willing to sacrifice this
valuable painting, as he was in great need of ready
money. He designed to keep it for his own use, but
he hod been unfortunate, and must "per forsa" part
with it, and would take the small sum of 200 francs
for it (about 40 dollars). The gentleman asked me
in English, what I thought of it. I told him that if he
really wished ir, though it was hardly worth the buy
ing, that perhaps he would be safe in offering twenty
l
francs, or about five dollars. He did so. Oh, you
should have seen the astonished, indignant Zook of 1
the Italian. He drew himself up haughtily, and re
marked very emphatically that he did not come there
to be insulted, and, taking up his picture, walked off. '
We had hardly finished our laugh over his dignified
take-off before the servant opened the door, and there
stood the picture dealer, bowing and scraping, all ,
smiles and civilityotaying, that as he was very much
pressed just then for money, he had concluded to take
the sum signore had offered. But the signore, having
got his eyes a little opened to the deception practiced
on him, very coolly replied that he had concluded not
to take it even at that price. This sent the rascal off
in a perfect fury, and he went off making the r'a roll
and rattle in his Italian, till everything rung again, Mori
a true Roman. You must know that when an Italian
swears in anger, he rolls his r's three times es much as
usual, and it is "per-r-r-r-r-r-r sacr-r-r-r-r-r-r-mento,"
till the tongue seems as if it would fly to pieces in its I
rapid motion. This reminds us, by the way, of a very
good story we have been told of a rich, yet ignorant,
New York merchant, who, having suddenly acquired
an immense fortune by speculation, determined to
make the Continental tour. Visiting Powers' studio
one day, and looking round on the different works of
art, he asked, pointing to the Greek slave, "What do
you cull thatere naked boy there?"
"It is a Greek slave," replied Mr Powers.
"And what might be the price of it?" continued our
New York traveler.
"Three thousand dollars is the price I have put
upon it."
"is it possible? why I had thought of buying some
thing of the kind, but I had no idee they cost so meth.

says, in reply to some speculations of the Tribune:

This, we suppose, settles that matter.
FROM Rio JAN Etßo.—Capt. Mansfield, of the bark
Eunomus, from Rio de Janerio, May let, arrived this
morning, we learn that when coming out of Rio he
was boarded from the U. S. brig Bainbridge, and hi:

American vessels supposed to have been engaged in
the slave trade—it being believed that tbege captains
and officers were endeavoring to reach the United
States.

TOR THE POST
"I HAVE NO AUTHORITY."
Messrs. Editors :—The above was the answer Mr
Mitcheltree reoeived from the Mayor, in the presence
of several persons, when he informed him of a large
pile of logs which were burning since the Fire of Tues
day morning on a lot adjoining his premises and with
in a foot or too of his still house, and requested him to
mnise the owner of the lot remove them which he had
refused to do.
Mr M. hai previously brought Mr M'llwain, the
street commissioner to see it, and pointed out to him
th t danger. who promised to have it attended to—but
did not fulfil his promise.
The danger was considered so imminent that Mr M.
employed a man the first night of the Fire to watch all
night, (having first sent for a Hose company who'
promptly attended and played water on the burning
pile till it was apparently extinguished.) The man
who watched said be had to pour several buckets of
water on it during ale night. At 8 o'clock last night
it was again discovered on fire. Mr M. then wrote a
note to Mr M'llv.ain and sent it to his house, but,
• he has thought proper to pay no attention to it. 'llia
pile contains several loads of heavy timber.
It is well known that had Messrs. Mitcheltree's
buildings been consumed, the conflagration would have
been very extensive. If it be true that the Ma }or has
no authority to act in the matter, the sooner he if in
\
vested with such power, the better for the safety of toe

No doubt you feel some interest in our State elec

In Lower Canada we believe, tbet intermarriages
between blood relations have been extremely general,
notwithstandin2 the rules of the Remish Church—
indeed such must have been the case in a population
descended from so limited a number of original Set
tlers, and receiving scarcely any addition by immigra
tion. In France the authority of the Church is but
very partially obeyed—in Belgium there are many
Protestants, and in Holland many Romanites, which
account for the disparity in these countries not being
quite so asking; but let us compare essentially Catho
lic with essentially Protestant countries—ltaly, Spain,
and Ireland with England. Scotland, Norway, and the
Eastern States of the American Union. and the result
will, we think go fur to establish the correctness of
our contemporary's remarks.
Health of the City.—The total number of deaths
in the city last week was but 171—a number which
indicates a state of public health for which we have
abundant cause for thankfulness, and wonderful in
consideration of the plague-breeding condition of our
streets till the season had advanced to the middle of
May. The deaths from small-pox were 12—a large
number, though we are happy to know that the dis
ease has greatly abated within the past fortnight, and
the materiel for its ravages been immensely prescribed
by vaccir ation, which has been very generally resort
ed to by adults, as well as for infants. Our citizens
have ceased to be alarmed on account of the little in

our city—out of which the disease 13 now scarcely

PITTSIII7RGIE MUSICAL ACADEMY
~}-" -s,
TO those of our citizens who are lovers of music,
it has lung a query, ''Upon what principle can
an institution for the acquisition and cultivation of a
knowledge of music be eastablished so as to render it
permanent?"
An association has a shot t time since been formed
in our city upon the same principle as "The Boston
Academy of Music," under the title which forms the
caption of this circular. The constitution of this as
sociation provides as follow,.: lit, for the election of
officers; 2d, specifies theit several duties, and 3d. reg
ulates the terms of membership, which are these:' any
gentleman may become a member of this institution
by signing the constitution, paying the sum of five dol
lars as an initiation fee, and each year thereafter, bear
ing an equal proportion of the necessary expenses of
the institution."
"All ladies who on read music are admitted into
membership, free of charge."
"Each member shall be required to pay an equal
dividend of his initiation fee at the commencement of
each quarter. The contingent expenses of the institu
tion all being paid in advance."
The exercises of the institution are divided in three
department,: Ist, the Academy Choir, for the prac
rice of the higher branches of music; 2d, an Adult
Elementary Class, for instructions in primary princh
pies; and 3d, a Juvenile Department, for the instruc•
tion of youths between the ages of 6 end 15.
In this arrangement we hope we shall be able fully
to meet the desires of every member of this cornmu
ni.y.
If you have already acquired a knowledge of Ina•
sic, in our first department, you will meet numbers who
are in the same advanced state, and you can practice
upon every variety of music, both sacred and secular.
If you have as yet devoted no attention to music,
but am desirous of learning, in our second department
under the instruction of our Professor, (a graduate of
the Boston Academy.) you can acquire a thorough
knowledge of the whole science.
And if you are the parent of sons and daughters to
whom you wish to impart a thorough musical educa
tion, for the sum of five dollars. (initiation fee,) you
not only secure a membership fur yourself in either of
theother departments, but you also secure the privi
leges of the juvenile department fur all the members of
your family between the hours above specified.
The Choir meets every Thursday evening for re
hearsal.
The "Adult Elementary Class" will be commen
ced as soon as a sufficient number of members can be
obtained.
The Juvenile Department commences operations on
Saturday, 21st June, at 3 °clock, P M, and will meet
weekly at that hour throughout the season.
Our present location is the school-room of the Sec
ond Presbyterian Church. Fifth street.
