i eluding sentence of the article: Attd the General Assembly of the State of Indiana

Steam crigines. The following curious facts (says the Albion) were stated b) Mr. Webster, in a lecture on steam engines, delivered at the Crown and Anchor Tavern Lmdan. It has been ascertained, with some degree of certainty, that there are now in Great Britain 1 5,000 steam engines at work, some of almast incredible power. Taking it for granted, that on an average triese engines are each of 25 horse power, this would he equal to 385.000 horses: Ac

cording to Mr. Watt's calculations, five and

a half men are qu d to the power of a horse.

Ureat Lsntain has thus, it appears, a power through the medium of steam engines equal to near two millions of men. Each uopr for hi keep per year, requires the produce of two aeres of land, and thus 750, 000 aereare at the disposal of the inhabitants of Great Britain, more than if the am" work, wiiieh is now done by steam,

had to be perfor.ued by horses. i ! Commodore Porter. It is stated that tcomm-.dore Pirter with the Mexican fleet

To the above excellent mode of preventing the abuse of ardent spirits, the editor of the Concord (N. Y.) Statesman adds a very plain and easy rule, prescribed by an eminent physician; that is, always decline when your friend invites you to drink, and never invite your friend to drink. Upwards of 700 of the peasantry cf Killmadeewa, near Loughsea, tenants cf Lord Clanearty, Ireland, were lately released, by the Right Rev Dr. Coem, from the curse of ercommunicaticn, which had been pronounced on them for sending their

children to a Bible School established by their landlord in the parish. For a considerable time it appears, they had continued under tha ban of their church acd deprived of the rights of their religion. Between priest and landlord, the unfortunate creatures have a difficult part to act and every benevolent mind ranst feel for the risk to which they are exposed.
