DAILY JOURNAL.

A. H. SAINUEUS. EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR. CITY OP EVAKSVILLE: Thursday Jioasno, 31 A V 10. English Justice. In looking over English papere received at the Journal office, we are often disgusted at the heavy punishments inflicted hy the Courts for email offences. Wealth escapes, while poverty aione seem3 to he crime enough for punishment. Woe tu the poor devil who is arraigned before these courts for criminal offences. From the Birmingham Journal, a late number,wc gather a few items which we ' write olTfur the information cf our readers. A little deformed man not four feet high, was grievously imposed upon hy a hig butcher. In defence, as he proved in court, he inflicted a slight wound. His Lordship, the Judge, remarked that the prisoner, the deformed man. appeared to he laboring under a very common mistake, that a person was permitted to use a kuile in his own defence. Tho i.ri.vi.iur n-ia ,.,,i,,,i , ,.,.,.. ...... -.i . t v i iov" itv I nv i. J ivuvt vi u ci t I l L.il J Stealing provisions appears to he a com-! nion offence among the starved poor. One man was sentenced to hj transported seven years lor stealing fn'leen poum;s of potatoes Another, imprisoned nine uinuliis for stealing several fowls. Another lourteeu days imprisonment and hard labor lor stealing a drake. One rascal was sentenced to twelve months iinptisntiuient and hard 1 ibor lor stealing a tin key. Two men t le five (owls, and weie sentenced for lour ino..t!is. A half stai veil scamp stole a loaf of bread, lor which he has to linger in prison six months. Nt xi time he will learn to die easy. Two otner men committed the same offence, and will be imprisoned two months each, and a third sent to prison six months for stealing one loaf of bread. Four men were (bund guilty of having stolen five pound-- of bread. One was transported for seven years, and the olher three, impti-oucd three mouths euch, and whipped! Oh justice! Bread and meat iho-e parents cf crime ! Alas, that men should have bowel, i .-penal ly when there be no ' bowels of compassion11 for them. There were many other cases of stealing bread and fowls. One hungry man stole a small quantity of meat from a butcher, lie was sentenced to impi i.-oumciit six months, and to be. twice whipped. Another man committed the same heinous otlance,and was twice whipped and imprisoned three months. But we could enumerate columns of these crimes and sentences, rr ore d.sgusting to an American heart than the recital of " horrible atrocities." And that reminds us. one man fo-bestiality, an indecent exposure of his person, had the sentence of death recorded against him, ' his Lordship staling that he had no doubt the prisoner would have toleav- thj country for the remaining term of his natural life." S3A writer signing himself "Justice," in Tuesday's Republican, defends the 'professional scamp." whose disgraceful conduct in circulating a false report that the Small Pox was raging in Evansville, a report having a tendency to seriously injure ihe Spring business of the city, we plainly exposed. There appears to tie a fellow sympathy between Justice and this Quack. Let Justice assist us in fully determining the truih or incorrectness of ibis impression, by revealing hi true rame, and we will extend him the comjliment of a reply, which we cannot tender to an anonymous writer. C?The sum o! forty thousand dollars in specie has lately been rec ived by Messrs OTliley & Mitchell, for the Branch Bank in this city. Twenty thousand dollars of thi sum arrived here on the steamer Belle Key last Tuesday, and ten thousand on the steamer Yorktown the day previous. JEJ"A St. Louis editor, vexed at ihe tardiness of the Post Master at that city, in opening and delivering the mails, publicly, in a mild way, gives linn a touch of" thunder. " We hear no such complaints of the P. M. at Evansville. Oa the contrary, we have heard both our Agent and Postmaster highly eulogized for their activity and fii "itney. Yesterday was a delightful contrast to the day previous the one bright, beautiful and crlori nu tiie other dull, dreary and diso . mal. The prospects arj now fair for fair weather. Sale or Valuable Lots It. wclbe rcen by advertisement that Mr. Sullivan will seil at public auction this morni ig. fifty valuable building lots.

Olden Times. The Cincinnati Enquirer lately published eome extracts froai papers printed in that city in ISIS, when the place was hut litih- larger than Evansvil'e. In that day of linle reading, and when the We.-t was almost a wilderness? the following extract, from the Enquirer proves that Cincinnati had considerably more

lilerary claims than Evunsville. The En- j quirer says : " Lancdon &. DcntCE then kept a Reading Room in the rear of the Post Office, at the corner of 3d am! what is now Bmk All -v. Some ten papers are noticed which will he put on the files; the subscription lor entrance to tiie lleadieg Room is $G per annua) " Now with all the difficulties of procuring papers, and when they were only certain of having ten papers to file, th s Reading Room was established, and the subscriptioi for entrance was six dollars that was equal to at least twenty-five dollars at this day. But a few months since, we offered to supply a Reading Room here with the best papers in the country, unlimited ia number, and with all the choice periodicals, both gratis and the papers free of postage and il was proi ust: mm sun.-ci ineia s u i i v iiav iivn I .!.... .-I :l i .1 i I.- .

Dreadful Ilurricanr, AVe learn I'toui a Ni v Urlean-i paper that the Sandwich Islands were visited by a severe huriicane on the 1 7i li of February, which caused immenso desiriictiou of life and property. A n enure village at Olnu was laid level w.ih the. ean h, ami hundreds of acres of sugarcane blown down in different quarters oT ihe Islands. Tiie Tahiiau schoom r Siphi i was capsized by the gale, t he Cap'ni.i, his wife and five others meeting a wateiy grave. The establishment of Mr. Kollenbeig, Confectioner, on Main street caught fin-yesterday afternoon. By proper exertions ihe lire was extinguished before ihe building sustained much injury. Wheat. It is calculated that nil ihe wheal in ports on Lake Michigan, to come forward before the next harvest, is not more than 920.000 bushels. Last year at the same lime, ihere was in store, a: the sime ports 2 IS5 3C0. The deficiency from last year i put at 2 337.500 up to the commencement of he harvest; some grain merchants anticipate a consider- ble advance i i flour by the 1st of J lily. The amount of wheat and flour now in store at Milwaukie is said to be no a third of what it was last year. Union White Sulphur Sphig3. The propiieiors of these will known Springs, which are situated in Kentucky, only thirtyfive miles from Evansvide, have been iinproving ihe buildings and grounds, and making t xten.-ive preparations for the accommo dation ofthe large number of visitors th-y expect to welcome this season. From what we have learned through several of our ciiizens who are in the habit of visiting this delightful place of summer retort, it is a very pleasant lace of moral retirement. lis fitnation is said tobe superior to that of any other Springs in the West. Those who go there once aic very apt to visit ihis resort again. The. water is similar to that of the Wnite Sulphur Springs in Virginia, which has acquired such a reputation Ibr its med i iual virtues. Mr. Henry J. Lewis, one of ihe proprietors, is well known to ihe citizens of this place, having formerly lived here. We are sure those who i.-at these Springs, will receive every attention from the hands of ihe proprietors. Read their advertisement. New Goods. Messrs.

Ue has pa.-sed through all the grades of service, from an engineer upwards, and has served so long and so successfully, that our practical river men must feel compt lied to respect his opinion. He has not rested sal ified with the mere manipulations ol his profes.-ion. but he is looking keenly into ihe deep ti uths, vv hich are both developed by practical men. and at ihe same time lie at ' ihe foundation ol all practice. He does not, ' as some have done, in dogged assurance and ! positive self conceit, the common neenmpan- ' intents ol' ignorance, condemn every thing as useless winch does not come immediatily within the narrow sphere ol iln ir own comprehei sion. hut lie has patiently and modestly studh d his prolrsioa. which embraces so noble a ciieuit of physical knowh dge. until he has evidently attained an eminence even en-, vi ible tt his compeihnrs, and in ihe highest deeree u-ciul to the Community.

That bitter malignity which not unfrequently shows itself against Micecssful inventors, is one ofthe most unaccountabl.-'. and at ihe same time one ol the most disgraceful trails of human nature. It will be recoil- cied what persecution was set on mofiou against Mr. Evans a few years ago a persecution moved by such a tempest ol passion that reason could not be heard; and ihe friends of so useful an invention were compelled, for the time, to be silent. Mr. Evans himself sickened at ireaim.'tit so unmerited, and at the solieitaiion ol his family, discontinued his occupation. His enemies promised to furnish a better substitute lor his Hiventioa. II aveiliey done so? No; and it will be a dilliculi task to accomplish. Uaiil they shall have done so.

The following quo'ation from my report, expresses a sentiment with regard to public sympathy for the engineer and the necessity of taking him by ihe h ind and aiding his eifirts. which I think needs to be urged on ihe community, and lieg nu w'ii call the attention ot New Oi lcans to its consideration.
