Üie "liiimlelcuiui" eomruittce. If, however, the morning hour is not constmiod by me in this discussion, it will bo lv some other meiuber ia one equally unprofitable, or iu'recvmng reports from other select committees upon matters equally uninteresting to the country, ar.d equally destitute of any practical importance. It is not my intention to answer the 'Surprise" of the ?ntlenian from Maryland, Mr. Evans, relative to the yesterdav's course of" the seiitleniau from New Hampshire, Mr. IIilbard.) The latter gentleman is more than competent to take care of himself, as the irentleBiiu from Maryland can satisfy himself whenever he chooses to provoke him to a ''pass at arms." It is not permitted me by the rules of the House, although my. jlf a nieinber öf the committee, to advert to its action in tho committee room. I can, however, call the attention of the House to the manner of its origin, and to the j'hrasoology of the resolution under which it was appointed. That resolution, as Is well known. wa introduced by ail honorable member from North Carolina, Mr. Stanly. the chairman of the committee. It is not known,

Lowever, what was the object in originating the com nut tee That obieet. if there was any, remains vet a ; invMcrT. and probably ever will, locked Within the breast f .1 ' I - ll .1 o.I.v '.Wir n.l to ol the chmrman All the sajrac ty, industry, and research ot the W wi mentuers ol the committee, and es pecially of the chairman, (and he possesses no .small amount of these qualities.) were employed for weeks in romtluetinir the investigation provided (or by the resolution. If the evidence in that investigation is ever made public- tho following facts will be found to have been elicited : Firs', it will be seen that Mr. Burke has been üscovered to be the author of the "Bundeleund" papers! This fact was elicited by examination and cross-exam-a r- l itmn ot some ten to twenty witnesses: Ihn cd; was known l.y Mr. UurKe s puwic announcement j that ho was the author, and by tho appearance ol Lis : name, as such, upon the title-page of the pamphlet edition! Another fart brought to light bv the indefatigable research of the Whig (majority) portion of this committee is, that during Mr. Polk's administration, n Demo . cratic clerk in tlie Tost Ulliee JJepartinent was the cor such fact npon its record, ad wh.cli was raised for a very dibercnt and probably adverse purpose. A further discovery has been, that Whigs and Democrats alike, in IS 17, prior to an election, sent home vo-

Was , "It js folly, worse than folly", to assail such a man as " a it a heinous political sin? If so, both parties appear to hoary and veteran slanderer;" to assert of him, as did have sinned alike. And still another dicovcry is, that the gentleman from Maryland, that he had been engrig. rrior to the late presidential election. Democratic clerks ed "for forty years in the' propagation of slander against 1 1 some of the departments voluntarily contributed to a : aH noble and truthful men;" nnd to intimate that no Democratic election fund; and higs to a Whig fund; gentleman could propound interropatories "to such a and further, that one Democratic clerk refused to enn- ,naaf tho answer to which would involve a deeper detribute to the Democratic fund, was turned out of office j frrCc of degradation of character than that which he has bv the Whig administration soon after it came into power i lng since brought upon himself." Such language ap-

w hilo others who did contribute have doubtless been retained; the Whig administration thereby expressing its stppreciatiun of such contribution. And yet another is, that Whig and Democratic committees in this District sent documents to the House folding-room, during the reress of Congress, to bo prepared for distribution. Here ! again, whatever of wrong existed, is chargeable to both parties. The chairman made another and important discovery one for which he may feel disposed to apply for letters patent; though I doubt not the application will be denied, upon the ground of priority of discovery by a European. This diccovery, in its peculiar sphere, is second only to that of a new planet., or a new motive power-a discovery which solves a long-mootcd problem, converts what was theory into fact. He i discovered , by judicious examination of a witness that a Democratic speaker at apo .t.ea ptncringa Bladensburg,wasm - , r .u r i um Jr 1 the soul;" albeit the '-beU" in this instanco appears to have been the stentorian lungs of a voter!

It such statement was made, has the gentleman nursed bis wrath thereat until this committee gav him an opportunity to wreak it and seek revenge? It appears that all thc Whig mendters, and but one Democratic member of the committee, were present when thc resolution was adopted. I will not aver that there was any preconcerieu acuuii ninuiiü mc ? ui lucuiuvis, in 1 ii-k;- 1 : 1 , . , 1 .1 . ; 1 . . .., accordance with which they convened at that particular , .

Democratic members may be held exensaMe, however, for esteeming it somewhat stran-e that all the Whig members were so conveniently present at that particular meeting, w hen there was but one 0 Tlim ocrat to say "nay to the resolution. The report charges Mr. Ritchie and Mr. Sengstaelc with refuting to answer certain interrogatories. It is nsual in a court of justice for a witness to be required to swear to "the truth, tho whole truth, and nothing but the truth." Tho committee departed from this rule, and req Jired a witness to depose to "the truth and nothing but the truth," but refused to permit him to state 'tho winde truth," lest it should implicate Whig officeholders in some disreputable transaction a catastrophe which the I.'g portion ol trie committee resolutely de clared it was not thoir design to bring about was not . 1 r -1 t. . V - . . ... 1 1 the purpose for which the committee was apiiointed Mr. Sengstack, finding he could only be permitted to tell the truth, in part, declined answering altogether. Mr. Ritchie, in answer to one branch of the inquiries embraced in thc resolution under which the committee was appointed, stated generally that he must be excused from betraying tho correspondents of his paper. He was then asked, "Was the author of the communication in the Union of September 12, HH, an officeholder embraced in the resolution of the House T"' which question he resjM'ctlully declined answering, for the reason previously given. The reference in this interrogatory to the communication iu the Union of Septemtcr 1, 118, makes such communication a legitimate subject of the discussion before tho House. - I have hero the Union of that date, (holding it up.) and find some half deren anonymous communications in it. Of which of these did thc chairman of the committee desire thc authorship? I confess 1 know not nor do I believe docs any other member of thc committee, except tho chairman. It must have been an important communication, containing grave nnd weighty raattcrä charges perhaps of a scnous charac ter agaii.st General Taylor of other prominent Whig; or els3 the chairman surely would not now estemn it of tueh preeminent iinportrnce as to make a refusal to answer a question relative to its authorship the subjectmatter of a epecial report fo the House, asking for its advi'-e in tho premises, and follow such report with a resolution requiring that tho recusant be arraigned al tho bar of the House for trial. We will glance at the communications, and see which, if any, contains matter entitling it to tho importance the report has given it. The first is upon lie subject of iho pamphlet life of General Cass. It is preceded, however, by an editorial, stating that it was written by the author of that pamphlet. As the chairman and committee knew w ho that a uhor was without asking Mr. Ritchie, this of courv cannot be the communication referred to in the resolution. The next i an article npon the sulyect of . 1 . . - ...1 " u 1 I : . . rj wo; veto, one lui-u nny man vnuiu csieciu 11 nu muiction to rea l before election, and which oould not have the b'ast irujortanec after that event. Tho next is a Tery harmless good-natured article, charging General Taylor with being a candid old General, of an "honest mind," because of his confession in one of his letters of his incompetency to perforin 1 110 duties of the Presidency. The next two are from abroad one from Ohio and one from Virginia upon the subject mostly of local eh-ctions, into which it cannot be supposed the chairman wishes to inquire. The next and last is headed, "Another gun spiked. Tho Michigan witness blown skyhigh ;'' and is devoted to refuting charges against General Cas. This, I opine, must be the communication referred to in the interrogatory. ' My reaon for no supposing is, not that the article contains anything of present, or mn'h past of importance, but that thf "Michigan witrj who was o unceremoniously "Mown sicy-nign, has since alighted noun Urr frm. and was in th's ritv . I lf,,ll at a jwriod not very remote frora the time at which the

interrogatory was put to Mr. Ritchie; and the interrogatory, I fancy, was put at bis (Michigan witness) instigation, for the pnrpose of enauliusr hint to ascertain who had taken the liberty to " blow " him ' sky-high." None of these communications can have had any other than a trivial importance at the time thev were written, and even thht was wholly lost after the election, leaving them unwonhy the attention of the House, or tho committee, or any one of its members. Then why did tho chairman Mr. Stanley and his Whig associates attempt to create a mountain from such a mole-hill? The House and the country have a l ight to demand an answer to this question. As a member of the committee, I shall answer it to the best of my knowledge and lclicf. Tho reason is to be found, not in the communication itself, or in any necessity for knowing, or real desire to know its author, but in the nature and trifling character of tho facts elicited by the committee; in the ridiculous position in which the party majority (Whig) of tho committee found itself placed by its failure to hunt up a single disreputable act against any nnmbcr of Democratic ollieeholders. They found (in language which I think the honorable chairman has been heard to use) that the investigation was all "tomfoolery ;" and they wished it to quietly die, that thev might never be called upon for a r-:ort in full, in which they would have little

I to report except their self-stultification. Henco this report in part was maue. wuu tne iuii expectation tuai us trifling character would induce the House to lay it upon the the table. It might then bo very convenient to aver that nothing more could be done by the commute, as the Hume had refused to compel witnesses to answer. That such was the true motive dictating the reiort, I infer further from one of the closing sentences of the remarks of the chairman, Mr. Stanley, after sending the report to your desk, and wliicj, sentence I wilt read: " He hmt no wish to consume the time of the Honse by any further remark; his o-ilv object beiwr lo olituinaiich action on tli rwrt 'e H.: as would be an tnstiurtio to the commute m the furrrOVUlKtn of lhc 1 " v sl f "' "," V "'' Mnich "'T ,in' We" rUm if it ,u dfSlrt (lf ütt 2IuU3e ül(d thil i'Mrtsl;snliv sJiovU be tontinitd. I eaun;t permit the yesterday's remarks of the member from Maryland Mr. Evans to pass unnoticed. I am not Mr Ritchie's apologist for any act of omission or commission. I disagree with hint on more than one subject, and among others, on the sectional and slavery controversy now pending. L'at I trust that political dif ferences will never to prejudice me as to induce me to become the Billingsgate personal assailant of any one eenllcoian frora Maryland and mvsclf, who by some ,n ,., fortuitous circumstances nny happen to occupy a seat in Congress, and is indebted perhaps to that for all of notoriety he possesses, to assail with rancorous personalities a man much his seignior a man who, whatever j political errors may be chargeable to him, has ever borne tlie character ol a good citizen anil honorable gen ' fri , f jcllcrso Madison, and Monroe. And assumption, noon our part, of that exalted pre-emi-ence which the rcntleman from M'arvlaud a licet cd above such a man. will be apt to be charged bv the coun rWd to such a man can only recoil upon its author's head. and should burn bis cheek, if " Upon his brow shame is not ashnmed to sit. Sir. whatever the member from Maryland mav say of Mr. Ritehey, the friends of the latter gentleman (I claim not to be one of them, having scarcely a sneakin j acquaintance with him) his friends can truly claim for ; ,;m the possession of those qualities wbich constitne the gentleman, and which though possessed (as I doubt not j taer are) by tho gentleman from Maryland, are not j manifested in seurriillous personal attacks upon one j whose years, services, and talcntcntitlc him to rank his ; assailant.

If this introduce tho honoroble member to thc public, extends tho area of his fame, dx's it not rather merit his thanks than the charge of vile slander? The rest of the article appears to be devoted to defending the editor Irom tlie Charge of "swindle" prelerrcd against turn bv the honorable member. I am no lawyer, as is well . . . . ... ' j Known; but wish to call tue attention of the House for j a moment to the law-portion of the gentleman's argu gumcnt, b which he endeavors to cmvinco us that an editor is under legal compulsion to betray his correspondents. For this purpose he quoted no f pointed to certain law books upon his desk. The exercise of a very small share of tho industry ami research which the gentleman possesses, will enables him to refute his own argument; for it will enable him to find judicial decisions declaring that a priest is not compelled to betray the secrets of tho coufcssionnl, nor a physician theaiimentof his patient. If refusals to answer questions on the part of thc gentleman's political friends w ill justify such a refusal iu his estimation upon thc part of a Democrat, I will call his attention to two examples. I find here, in the report of the Galphin committee, (holding it up,) that a Whig officeholder, a witness before the committee, refused to answer questions; and refused,. among other things, to betray tho correspondent of a paper. Wheuev'r a rejort ismado from another select committee of the House relative to certain post ollice charges made 1 against a member, it will be lound that a VY lug editor re fuses to betray a correspondent of his paper ,and a Whig officeholder refuses to answer whether he was the author of a communication in that editor's paper. Do these committees come before the House with rcports,in part, complaining of matters of this trivial character, asking advice, arrest of parties, and other legislative steps, at an expense of time and money to the country. No, nir; they have too much self-respect too much regard for the dignity of tho House and the business of thc country. When an editor refuses to betray a correspondent he but assumes the responsibility of the authorship of the article in question. This he has a right to do if he so pleases, and no man can gainsay the right. In this instance I presume tho editor of tho Union has no disposition to 1 shrink from such responsibility, whenever tho honorable j chairman of the committee Mr. Stanley wi j the decree of responsibility to be incurred. ill assess Somewhat was said by the honorable member from it 1 , t. .. 1 1 . . - Maryland of the bribery and corruption in connection with thc election funds raised in this city. If there was cither corruption or brilory in raising or using such funds, (of which there is no evidence before thc committee,) it was common to U.th parties. Tho funds were raised and nscd by both in a similar manner. If tho gentleman is really desirous of exposing atempicd bnltery holding it np to the fcorn and condemnation of the country, I respectfully direct his attention to an attempt at brilicry upon tho part of a Prominent Whig Truman Smith an attempt to bribe ine voters of an entire State, (Ind iana,,) by holding out to them a conditional prospect of ollice conditional that they hould Mrengtben the ranks of a Whig administration by sending to this Honso Whig members. The bribe was indignantly spnmed, od proper reward meted to him who offered it a people's contempt pie's contempt T If the gentleman trom jMarynuiu wisucs to expose corruption, let ium turn nis atten tion to the thonund instances in which Democratic post l 'f . lt- . I . masters have been turned out of office for interfering in

elections, and Whigs turned in that they might interfere. Among these instances I would part iculary desire his attention to the case of my friend on my left, from Kentucky, Mr. Stanton, who was turned out of a post office, and immediately afterwards the office flooded by Truman Smith w ith Whig-electioneering documents, which of course were to bo distributed by his Whig suc

cessor. Mr. Stanton. . There was no evidence that the postmaster (his successor) connived at this matter. " Mr. Fitch. That makes no diU'erence. They were sent by a leader of the Whig party for that purpose, and the new appointee knew what was expected of him. A few words relative to the Democratic portion of this committee, and I will occupy the attention of thc House no longer. We desired and attempted to enlarge the powers of tho committee, that we might examine into the conduct of Whig as well as democratic officeholders'. This enlargement was refused us. We wished "tho whole truth" to be made public not a partial and garbled version of it r We desired, wherever wrong existed among officials, to ferret it out without re--gard to their politics to exjose it, whether in Whig or Democrat, to the condemnation of the country, that the proper correction could be applied. - - For the Indiana Stale Sentinel. National Convention of Officers of Institutions for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb.' , New York, August 31, 1S50. Nathaniel Eoltov, Esq..; My Dear Sir: Supposing that your readers may le interest! d in a very brief account of the Convention f Officers of various Institutions for thc Deaf and Dumb in the United States, w hich has now just closed its session, I have concluded to jot down a few of the more important items of discussion and action. This is the first meeting of the kind which has been held on our side of the Atlantic; and its results cannot fail to have a favorable influence on the future progress of the cause. The following is a list of thc officers and delegates: President Hon. Christopher Morgan, Albany. Vice-Presidents Rev. W. W. Turner, Conn. ; Dr, If. Pect, New York; Joshua Foster, Pa.; J. S. Brown, Ind.; W.D.Cooke, N. C; Thomas Officer, 111.; O. P. Fannin, Georgia. . Secretaries J. S. Pect, New York, and L. II. Woodruff, Conn. Thc following are thc Delegates present: From the American Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb at Hartford, Conn. Itev. W. H. Turner, Messrs. L.. II. Woodrun", W. Chiton, and Rev. Samuel Porter. From the Pennsylvania Institution Messrs. J. Foster, Benj. D. Pcttcngill, nnd J. Mount. From tho Indiana Institution Mr. J. S. Brown, Superintendent. From the Illinois Institution Mr. Thomas Officer, Principal, and N. M. Totten. From the North Carolina Institution Mr. W. D. Cooke, Principal. From the Georgia Institution Mr. O. P. Fannin, Principal. From thc New Ycrk Institution If. P. Pect, LL. D., President of the Institution, ami Professors D. 11. BartIctt, J. A. Carev, O. W. Morris, J. Van NoMrand, T. Gallaralet, J. S. Pect, F.. Pect, and J. II. Benedict; also, P. M. Wetmore, first Vice President of the New York Institution, Hon. J. W. Bcekman, J. C. Green, Esq., Key. G. T. Bedell, Israel Russell, Esq., and Shepherd Knapp, Esq., members of the Board of Directors. Hon. Christopher Morgan, Secretary of tho State of New York and Superintendent of Common School-. Rev. H. N. Brinsmnde, D.D., of Newark, N.J.; Rev. J. H. Pcttingell, of Essex, Conn.; (J. D. Loring, of Bastor; and J. R. Burnet, of N. J., former Instructors of the Deaf and Dumb. The Convention continued its sittings during three days, nnd its deliberations were marked with peculiar interest. Among its members were men who have grown gray in thc profession of teaching mutes, and whose names will be cherished with admiration and gratitude through a long vista of coming years. Others in the meridian of life were there, whose highest ambition is to equal their honored seniors. " Others, still, before whom the profession is just opening with all its freshness, also mingled in the deliberations. Nor among the least happy incidents of the meeting was the presence of a number of distinguished gentlemen not engaged in thc business of instruction, but connected with the supervision of Institutions in tho capacity of Trustees, Officers of State, etc. As a deserved compliment to this class of delegates, the Don. Christopher Morgan was appointed President, and we had abundant cause to be satisfied with our choice. President Pect, of th New York Institution, took a frominent part in the Convention, and rend several ighly important and interesting pnpers. Prof. Turner, of the Hartford.Asyliim, was the oldest Instructor present, Laving spent more than thirty years in teaching the deaf and dumb. Though he read no paper, still his remarks during the deliberations were listened to with the most profound attention. On of the very lest articles read was by Prof. Woodruff, on the " Moral and Religious Education of Mutes." Essays were also presented by Professor Gallaudet, son of the founder of the American system of Mute instruction, himself a speaking gentleman, though his mother and wife are mutes, and by Professors Bartlctt, Can", Van Nostrand, and J. L. Pect. When these papers are published (as they will be, with the proceedings of tho Convention,) they will be found to contain a vast amount of information on subjects of the utmost philosophical importance and interest subjects not hitherto presented to the public eye. The debates were in general conducted orally, but were all translated into signs in a most beautiful manner by Mr. Gallaudet. The mute gentlemen fresent occasioniillv participated in the discussion, using their own pcculiar and elegant language of sigus, which were, of course, at once understood by all the teachers, but trans. lated by Mr. G. for the benefit of such members and spectators ns did not understand signs. Tho questions as propounded by the Chair were rendered into signs, and all (mutes as well as speaking delegates) voted with uplifted hands. It was determined, that on the demand of two delegations, the vote should be by Institutions: each being entitled to one vote, and an additional vote for every twenty pupils. Tho ago at which mutes should be received for instruction excited considerable discussion. Tho delegates from the Hartford Asylum, to which pupils from Massachusetts may be sent at the age of eight years, ttmk strong ground against the practice, and were unanimously sustained by those from other Institutions. A resolution was. with great unanimity adopted, that pupils ought not in general to be admitted before the age of ten years. Some of thc delegates were in favor ol fixing the lowest limit at twelve years; but they would have Ireen voted down, had they pressed the matter, and had the vote been taken by Institutions. The instruction of the deaf and dumb in articulation was incidentally alluded to, and found to le generally practiced in no American Asylum. This disuse has however resulted from tho failure of a faithful trial in several Institutions. An interesting memoir was presented by Mr. Burnet, of Njw Jersey, himself a mute, on a syllabic alphabet. Many Teachers think that the next discovery in our art will bo made in this direction. The momf and religious state of the deaf and dumb previous to education was discussed, and a flood of light thrown upon thc subject. Could, metaphysicians have known what any experienced Teacher of mutes docs know on this subject, tho press would have been relieved from many a ponderous folio on " Natural Religion," the " Natural State of Man," etc. The length of thc course of instruction was considered, and seven years was fixed with entire unanimity, as the usual time in which a thorough education can be communicated. Tho practice on the part of friends, which to some extent exists in most Institutions, of taking pupils away before finishing their education, was se. varely and justly condemned.. The subject of receiving as pupils persons over thirty years of age came under notice, and a majority of the Convention seemed in favor ot admitting such, persons, at least for a year or two, to the advantages of Asylums, if for no other purpose, to at least secure to them a knowledge of the fundamental truths of morals and religion. The propriety of obtaining frora the General Government a donation of tho public lands was duly considered, and a set of resolutions, prepared by myself on tho subject, was adopted without dissent, anil ordered to be forwarded to the President of the Senate and to the Speaker of tho House of Representatives.. It is strange that while the Government has given tho public lands for almost every purpose under the Heaven, no general donation has lecn made to tl deaf and dumb of all the States. I am happy to know that the Indiana delegation in Congress, in accordance with the request and instructions of her Legislature, are right on this subject. '.. It was also determined to establish a Periodical, to be devoted to tho interests of deaf mute education. The title is to be the "American Annals of tho Deaf and Dumb." It will be issued quarterly, at Hartford; and will lo in every respect worthy o! public patronage. The editorial chnrgo is confided to Luzerne Rae, Esq., a gentleman whose distinguished attainments as a scholar and matured experience as a teacher arc sufficient guaranties that it will be well sustained. This Review will be one of unsurpassed interest to every inquirer into the philosophy of tho human mind, to every friend ! of education, and to every one who fee's any interest in tho instruction ol thc unlortunate acai ami uumo. ino subscription price is very low, only one dollar per annum, payable in advance No one can doubt the interest or success of the undertaking. I shall bo happy on my return to Indianapolis to receive and transmit to the accomplished editor , thc names of numerous vubscribcrs. It ought, perhaps, to be remarked, that tho contemplated Quarterly will contain nothing but original mat ter. The articles will bo tho contributions of the various Instructors in the several Deaf and Dumb Institutions

in the country ; and will, among other things, treat of the philosophy of thc human mind, as developed by the Deaf and Dumb, their state previous to education,-the process and results of their instruction, together with a general review of the ctirrent literature pertaining to this branch of science.

lege, Clergyman, professional man, or curious enquirer into tho arcana of the human mind ought to be without this work. Among the matters of personal interest to mvsclf, in addition to meeting with my many Eastern professional acquaintances, was taking bv tue hand my esteemed friend and former associato Thomas Officer, Esq., the distinguished Principal of the Illinois Asylum. This pleasure was still further increased by forming the acquaintance of W. D. Cooke, Eh., the Principal of the North Carolina Institution, nnd O. P. Fannin, Esq., Principal of tho lately established Georgia Institution, both, apparently, gentlemen ndrnirably adapted to successfully discliarge thc arduous duties devolving upon them. ... . . .. Would that every citizen of Indiana could have been present to have heard, from every quarter, the strong encomiums lotowed upon their generous liberality, and sympathizing kindness to the unfortunate deaf and dumb. Again, and again, was the subject alluded to, in terms of the highcfet eulogy. I own I felt prowd of our State, and so would any of her citizens who could have listened to the deliberations of the Convention. Indiana has done much for her Mute, Blind, and Lunatic children. No purer sacrifice was ever presented to Heaven, than thc willing ottering; she has placed on tue altar of public lenevolence. Accursed through future generations le the hand ot thc heartless ucmogogiie, who would seek to quench thc Üame of a generous people's loye which there burns, or, to light in its stead tho ignvs falt'Ms of his own damnable ambition. The thanks of all friends of Mute education arc due to the President and Officers of the New York Institu tinn, for the intercut ther have taken in originating the call for the Convention, ns veil as for thc kindly and courteous hospitalities which they extended to the dele gates while in session. The next Convention, one year from this time, will be assembled at some point in the East, perhaps at Hartford; while it is universally conceded, that the one two years hence must come over the Aueghanics, most pro. bablv, to Indianapolis.

It was the Texas Boundary bill of thc Senate, as amended on motion of Mr. Boyd, by adding the bill of that body, with several verbal alterations, providing a territorial government for New Mexico, and as further amended, at the instance of Mr. Toomps, declaring that no citizen of the United States in said territory shall be deprived of his life, lilicrf y, or property, except by the judgment of his peers and the laws of the land. The Smithsonian Institute. We make the following extracts from a sketch in the Washington City Directory for 1S50, which appears to have been prepared with considerable care : " The Smithsonian Institution derives its name and endowir.ent from James Smitbson, Esq., of England. Mr. Suiithson was a son of thj first Duke ol NorlliuiTiberland. He was educated at Oxford, where he distinguished himself by bis scientific attainments. In 1787, the year after taking; his master's degree, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. To the Philosophical Transactions,' he contributed at different times eight valuable papers. He had no fixed residence, and formed no lainily tics. The last ycarä of his life were spent on the continent. He "lied at Genoa, June 27, 1829. From the property he received from Ids motlifr, and the ample annuity allowed him by his lather, bis frugality enabled him to accumulate a fortune, which at thc time of his death, amounted to 120,000 pounds sterling. By his will, lie directed that the income of this property (after deducting some small annuities) should be paid to bis nephew, Henry Jamc llungerford, during his life, and that thc proicrly should descend to his children, if he had any, absolutely and forever. 'In case of the death of my said nephew without leaving; a child or children, or of tlie death of the child or children he may have had under the age of 21 years, or intestate, I then bequeath the whole of my properly, (subject ta an annuity, &c.,) to tlie United States of America, to found at Washington, under tlie name of the Smithsonian Institute, an establishment for tlie increase and diffusion of knowledge among men. ' ' " Such are the words of the will, and the only words of Smitbson which have coine to us relating to this remarkable bequest. Young Ilungerford died at Pisa, on the 5th of June, 1S35, without issue. The event thus occurred in w hich the claim of the United States attached. The Hon. Richard Rush, of Philadelphia, appointed agent for thc United States, recovered tiie fund in 1S3S, amounting to $515,169. The act establishing the Smithsonian Institute, was passed 10th August, iS40. The cost of the building is limited (with furniture, grading, the grounds, &c.,) to 250,000. This will be taken mostly from tho income of the original building funds, so as to save S'150,000 of the' building fund, which, when added to the. original fund, will make 675.000 dollars, yielding nearly $ 10,000 per annum. This income, with all sums received from other sources, is to be permanently and equally divided between two great methods of increasing and diffusing knowledge the first by publications, researches, and lectures, the second by collections in literature . and art. The building is in the late Norman or Lombard style. It consists of a centre and two w ings, united by connecting vanges. Its extreme length is 447 feet, and its greatest breadth 132 feet. It is adorned by nine towers, the highest of which is 145 feet. Thö cen tral portion of the building contains on the first floor a Library, 13 1 feet by 50 -divided into alcoves which are crossed by galleries, and a Hall for Philosophical Apparatus, 01 feet by 50. In the East Wing are lecture rooms, work shops, offices, &c. In the Western Wing galleries of art, one of which will be a reading room," &.C. (Sheridan was never free from pecuniary embarrassments. As he was one day hacking his face with a dull razor, he turned to his eldest son (who was a chip of the old blcck) and said: " Tom, if you open any more oysters with my razor, I'll cut. you off with a shilling." " Very well, father," retorted Tom," but w here will the shilling come from?" Tun Life of as Exquisite, He gets up leisurely; breakfasts comfortably; reads the paper regularly; dresses fashionably; talks insipidly; dines considerably; drinks superfluously; smokes elegantly; lives uselessly ; dies reluctantly; is buried lugubriously; and is missed by nobody. 03Makc hay while the sun shines.

IMPOETANT TO FABMEBS! AND ALL OTHERS WHO HAVE STOCK TO FEED ! ! IT is conceded hs every oue who has made the experiment, that cut straw, with bran or weal, is the cheapest and liest teed for horses and cattle. The preat difficulty, heretofore, hs been to get a machine by which straw could he cut with rnpidity aud ease. Many machines have heen tried, but inoet of them have been two complicated and expensive for general use. The great consideration has been to pet a machine simple in its construction, so that it would seldom get out of repair, and to be durable, and to cut easy. All those objects have been accomplished by the ncent invention of Ma. mitii, of Richmond, Virginia. Whercv ;r it has beeu used, it is acknowledged to he superior to all otheu ever used. It has been but recently introduced into this State, but those that have used are hichly pleased with them, Mr. H. Campbell, thc proprietor of all the principal mail routes in this State, has had several ia use at different sl-.nd, aud has given the following statement as to their performance: "'Smith's Patent Straw Cutter' has been used a few months in onr stable in this city, and at ditferent stations on our mail reute, and we can aafely say that they have performed much better than any other machine used by us. Its contraction is so simple and substantial that it is seldom out of repair. We would much rather have it than any other machine withiu our knowledge.
