Teachers Convention. Tbo cessions of tb'M body closed on Friday evening of last week. From - first to last, the public lectures were booored with - large sad highly respectable audience. Much to our regret, we were providen-

' tiaily hindered from hearing some of

the addresses. It is therefore beyond oar power to furnish oar reader with even an outline of the many "good ayingt" which the occasion elicited. We shall devote tome time to the sub ject daring the present week, and hope (by the aid of manuscript notes, kindly j

lent us by oar friends,) that in our next number, we shall be able to give a tolerable abstract of all the addresses. On Friday evening a public discussion coonected with the welfare of common schools, was held in the Second church.

Society, for the promotion of common school education. A committee was appointed to draft a constitution, to be submitted for approval, to aconvention

of delegates from all parts of the West,

wbo will meet in this city , next spring. A subscription amounting to more -than three hundred dollars, was then taken up to defray the expenses of the

contemplated society. The College of

From the Cleaveiand (Ohio) Advertier. MAD RIVER AND LAKE ERIE ." RAIL ROAD. This contemplated improvement is exciting considerable attention abroad,

particularly in the State of Kew 1 ork,

who has an eagle eye on every tbing

which tends to facilitate the intercourse

between her great commercial emporium and the "for west." This road,

running through a delightful and lertile region of country, will no doubt be extensively useful and altogether a

valuable improvement. The charter

is a liberal one, and it appears from the report of the U. S. Engineer, wbo has recently surveyed the route, that the project is not only feasible, but thai it is very easily accomplished, and at much less expense than such improvements are generally attended with. The commissioners are now vn a tour to the east, with tlie view ol enlisting eastern capitalists in the.enterprise, preparatory to opening the books for subscription to the stock.

The capital is $1,000,000; 50,000 of

which has been subscribed. While we admit the importance of

this improvement, and the benefits

which are likely to result from it, we

arc still inclined to believe that its friends arc indulging in rather extravagant anticipations in relation to it, and which they will fall far short of re

alising. That it will considerably shorten the distance from I.ake Erie

to Cincinnati, is true, and a portion of I

the trav-l, may be diverted that way. For the transportation of freight, however, it cannot compete with the Ohio Canal. Even allowing a difference in the distance, of 100 miles, from Buffalo Cincinnati in favor of the Rail Road still the route by the canal would be preferable, as it would probably be cheaper, and save the necessity of at

least one transshipment. However,

we wish the enterprise every success, and a speedy consummation.

Wateb Stout in the Potomac. A correspondent of the National Intel

ligencer gives the following account of j

a phenomenon,, which occurred on the evening of the 19th August. It unfortunately was not observed until it had completely formed, and directly in front of Mount Vernon when it presented to the amazed spectators an object exceedingly rare, yet grand and beautifully in appearance. The base, to our view, appeared to be a large and perpendicular cv lender floating upon the surface of the river,

In Poland and in Germany order

reigns under the influence of the bayonet. In Italy, beginning in the north

of the Peninsula, we find that (to use

the slang terms of obsolutism) force resle a la loi, in other words, that freedom is trodden under foot. The ex-

liberal Charles Albert, has, it is true,

ceased to execute dailv his dalf-dozen

soldiers or lawyers, but the prisons of

tenoa, Alessandria, Cbamberry, and

rignerol remain crowded with denoun

at bis nod become victims of martyrs. The Austrians govern for the Pope in

Bologna, and indeed it may be said in

the whole of the Papal states, notwith

asserts, through the columns of the press, (a new medium for conveying

regal dogmas in that part of the peninsula) that disaffection had not for a moment menaced the monarchy. The

freebooters of Greece nave for the mo

The following eloquent conclusion

is extracted from au article by Pier-

the liveliest scenes of nature lose

their power to charm and a few revolv

Public Land Sales. In pursuance rfl

the orders of the President, the Utto-

zra Reserves, in Ohio, will be offered

for sale on the 2d and lbth of December next, at the Land offices of Bucy-

rus and Wapaukounetta. These lands

contained in these reserves have been

represented to us as of a very fine gua-

htjr. It must be understood that there are two Ottawa reserves in Ohio one lying partly in Henry and

Wood counties, and bordering on the

Northeast shore of the Maumee liver,

few miles above Perrysville, near

the north shore, of that branch of the

Maumee, called Blanchaids fork.

Few portions of what was usually cal

led the "Mew Purchase. 7 can vie with

other of these reserves either in ferti

Ohio Canal. The increase of bu

siness on our Canals this year, over

any former one, is almost incredible.

The late reduction in prices of trans

portation on the Erie and Ohio Canals has induced nearly alt the merchants

of Cincinnati, Louisville and those parts of Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois and Tennessee, bordering on the Ohio and

Mississippi rivers, who have frrmerly

sought other channels of transportation

to ship by the Northern route. The

price of trans port ion from New York

to Cincinnati via Erie and Ohio Canals,

but little exceeds $2 per hundred. Almost every steamboat that arrives is deeply laden with goods, teeming with emigrants for the interior. . Our

Schooners also arrive with full loads of

merchandise. The schooner Commodore unloaded yesterday at the warehouse of Messrs. Kelly & Walworth, with large lots of other goods, 250 bags

ofCottee, for one house in Cincinnati.
