Saturday Morning, Mar. 26,1853.

It is stated, in the Boston Herald, that Gen. Abner Curtis, a great shoe manufacturer at East Abington. Mass., has issued proposals to some twenty or thirty young men in his manufacturing warehouse, that if they will, the current year, be prudent, economical and faithful in their duties— show a balance sheet of savings, individually, of one hundred and fifty dollars, and consummate marriage on or before the first day of January next ensuing, then he will, in all and every such case being made to appear, and proven unto him, add, as a New Year present thereunto, a bouse and lot upon his vast domain, and therewith one hundred dolIrrs, for the purpose of assisting in the erection of a cottage home, severally, to his corps of assistants aforesa'd.

MARKET ABD VEGETABLE GABPEWS.—The extent of these gardens round London, required to supply the two million and a quarter of eaters there, will hardly be credited. Within a radius of fifteen miles from London there are two hundred thousand acres of land in the hands of market gardeners, all laboring for the London market. Ten thousand loads of turnips, 100,000 sacks of peas, 30,000,000 heads of celery, 40,000,000 cabbages, and 1,000 tons of water-cresses are said to be sold annually in Covent Garden market alone, to say nothing of the potatoes, carrots, beets, onions, herbs of all kinds, &c which are sold in immense quantities.

MOB OF WOMEN.—The Cleveland Herald says that on the 1st inst., some thirty women, well backed by gentlemen, proceeded to the grocery of Anthony Jacobs, in Ashland, and asked him to discontinue the sale of liquor and the use of bagatelle board, which had enticcd many of the youth, and some of the married men from their homes. He refused, and the ladies chopped his bagatelle table into kindling wood and emptied his liquor into the street. They then visited another grocery and a tavern, both of which capitulated.

THE WHEELING BRIDGE.—The Pittsburgh Journal states that a motion has been filed in the Supreme Court of the United States, by the Attorney General of Pennsylvania, asking for an order to the Marshal to execute the decree of the Court, and also for an attachment against the officers, managers, and stockholders for not complying with the decree of the court. The argument of this motion will bring up the question as to the effect of the act of congress declaring the Bridge a Post road. The day for argument has not yet been assigned by the Court. ~~~~~~~

CONSULSHIP or THE UNITED STATE.—It is stated that the most lucrative of our consulships is that of Panama, which is rated at between thirty-five and one hundred thousand dollars per annum. Havana is next, then Liverpool, and afterwards in order come Buenos Ayres, Matanzas, Havre, Alexandria, and Hong Kong, or Canton. The commercial agency at St. Thomas, Danish West India, West Islands, is said to be worth from six to ten thousand dollars a year.

BANKING.—The*speech of Gen. Steele of Parke county on the General Banking Law, in the House of Representatives, March 4th, 1853, will be found on our first page. It will well repay a perusal by all who take an interest in financial and currency matters.— The term Wild Cat Banking," as printed, ahould read "Carpet Bag Banking." All who remember certain operations in tho commencement under the new system, will understand the application of the term.

Swearing in of the Vice President, A private letter from Matanxos remarks, that for the first time in the history of the Republic has the man chosen by the people for the second post of honor taken the oath of office in a foreign land. William Rulus ng was,on the 4th inst., aworn in as* Vice President of the United States, at the Cumbrt, near Matanxas. The oath was administered by Consul Rodney.

MURDER.—A man by the name of Arthur Spring is now on trial in Philadelphia for the murder of two females, whose lives it is aaidhe took in order to get money he knew to be in the house. The case as stated is of a horrible character. The principal witness against Spring is his own son a lad of 18 years of age. The case makes great excitement, and tho Court is throngly attended.

The whole number of clerk# in the several Departments at Washington is 730, an^ their annual compensation #931,600. They are divided into four classes—thoae in the first class have a salary of £900 those in the second, $1,900 thoae in the third, $h 600 and those in the fourth, $1,800. There ia also a chief clerk in each Department, whose salary is $9,300.

Sr. PATRICK'S DAY.—We notice from our exchanges that in all the Eastern citirs St. Patrick's Day was duly and appropriately celebrated. At New York the Irish Societies of all kinds united with several military companies in a procession, which was quite imposing and attracted much attention. Thomas F. Meagher delivered an aodrew on the occasion.

If there be any truth in Washington City gossip, the Democratic Ex-members of Congress from this State are all to have a portion of the 'Spoil* qf Victory,' Mr. John L. Robinaon in to be U. 8. Marshall, Dr. Fitch Indian Agent, and Mr. Lockhart is to have a Clerkship, in one of the Departments at Washi ngton.—/arf. Je*r.

OUT OF GAOL.

GEORGE YOUNGER and WARREN HARLOW, who were sentenced a few days ago by our court to three years in the penitentiary for grand larceny, managed to get out of our gaol the first night after their sentence. These fellows who stole a quantity of bed-clothing from Mr. Guy C. Welch, at the time, or just after the fire, are now scot free for the offence. ~~~~~~~

MARSHAL.—It is supposed that the Hon. JOHN ROBINSON will be appointed U. S. Marshal for Indiana. SOL. MEREDITH, the present Marshal, is putting his house in order for a good-bye. Mr. Meredith has performed the duties of the office moat efficiently, and with credit to himself and the State.

SANTA AHNA had not arrived in Mexico on the 5th inst., but it was generally believed that he had accepted the proposition to become a candidate for President, and would return in the British steamer on the 1st of April.

PANORAMA.—J. B. BLAIR'S Geological, Historical and Paleontological Panorama, as exhibited at the Methodist Church, has been much admired, and attracts full Houses.

The report that A. O. HOUGH had been appointed Mail Agent on the Cars from Terre Haute to Madison is said to be premature. No change yet made.

The Legislature of California has fixed the capital of the State at Benicia. This is the third time it has been fixed—first at San Jose, then at Vallejos, and now at Benicia.

FROM AUSTRALIA.

By the arrival of the Lady Suffolk, from Cape Good Hope, we have received dales from Port I'hillip to the 15t\j of November, which though not so late as those recently received by the way of South America, bring some news of interest. The enptnin of the British ship Roxbury Castle, at Cape Town, reported that during his stay in Australia, four vessels had left Victoria with cargoes of gold, to the amount of 447,000 ounces, valued at £1,780.000.

Many new deposits of gold had been discovered, and it was certain that the soils and rocks, rich with this metal, extended over many thousands of square miles.

New diggings had been found at the Ovens river, but the overage yield had not been ascertained.

Adventurers from all parts of the world-were arriving daily by hundreds. There were about one hundred and fifty sail of vessels in Melbourne harbor, but they were thinning out daily.

It was expected that there would be a considerable falling off in the clips of wool this season.

Rents continue to rise enormously nt Melbourne, £4 and £5 a week being charged for a small three roomed eottage.

Another account says, "tho intelligence froin the gold fields continues on the whole, encouraging, though the experience of individual diggers ut different points, presents every variety of result*, from rapid fortune making to titter destitution. Great numbers had returned penniless, nnd yet unceasing stream of adventurers covered the road from Melbourne to auriferous localities. New diggins, apparently of vet unequalled wealth, had been opened at the Ovens, tho last escort from which, alone, brought down upward of 30,000 ounces of gold."—Boston Journal.

SALT FROM THE OCEAN.—At the meeting of the New York Chamber of Commerce on the 1st inst., a communicotion was received from Edward C. Cooper, in relation to manufacturing salt from ocean water. Accomppnnyng [sic] it was a plan of salt works constructed last season on City Island, East River, but too late in the season to form salt and abandoned for want of funds. They are formed of inclined planes, made on the earth, of hydraulic cement, taking four barrels to every thousand feet of surface. It is estimated that $5,000 would construct ten acres, or more, of works, yield upwards of 10,000 bushels of salt annually. The patronage of the Chamber is requested. The communication was ordered to be placed on file. ~~~~~~~

There is a lady nt Frostville, France 101 years of age, who has not been out of mourning once during the last 70 years. She has successively lost her father, mother, two husbands, seven uncles, eight aunts, four brothers in-law, three sisters-in-law, three sons, four daughters, and thirty-one grand children. Spite or these continued afflictions, she is in full enjoyment of all her faculties. She has but one relation left a grand daughter, aged 72. Tho old lady lives with great economy giving as a reason that she must lay something by fur a rainy day she may get cold.

RIDICULOUS.—A Washington letter writer asserts, that war between the United States and Great Britain is inevitable within a year—and suggests the piobability of an extra session of Con* gress being called* This is perfect ridiculous. For what ahould England and the United States go to wart About the occupancy of the Bay Islands?— What are the Bay Islands to us! Wi have no claim to them, and shall hardly go to war to dispossess England of what she has held for nearly two hundred years. There is no difference between the two nations that cannot be amicably settled by negotiation but some persona are inveterate ngainst her to gratify their malignant feelings.—Baltimore Clipper.

ORKOON LANDS.—AH who contemplate going to Oregon, for the prospect* live advantage of cheap lands, should re member that the law granting lands to settlers,expires on the,nr*t of December, 1833. A man with a family is entitled to 320 teres* one-half of which is to go to his wife. If a single man, bat l«o acres.

FOREIGN NEWS. Br the Canada.

ENGLAND.—Lord Palmerston stated in Parliament that no application had been made for the expulsion of foreign refugees from England. Had such been made, they would have met a firm, de-

cided refusal.^ Dudley Stuart called the attention of T* iF Parliament to Turkish affairs. "f

Lord Russel replied that the Government had thought it necessary to have a frank explanation with Austria, and at the same time refuse to give the views of England

as

to maintaining in­

dependence in Turkey. Had no doubt that the difficulties would be adjusted by negotiation.

Manchester firms employing 5.000 looms have determined on working short time, to limit production, in consequence of low prices.

There were many shipwrecks along the coast by the hurricane on the 25th ult.

An unsuccessful attempt had been made to fire the Toulon arsenal. The Pope was daily expected at Paris.

A mob at Vienna had broken the window of the ambassador the citizens refuse intercourse with Englishmen.

Unusual commotion in Hungary and many arrests made. More arrests have also been made at

Milon. The Montenegro war was ended ond the difficulties between Turkey and Austria ad|usted.

OUR FOREIGN AFFAIRS. *A Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia North American writes as

follows: The Cabinet is occupied discussing the general policy to be pursued in reference to the foreign relations of the government, in prospect of threatened political convulsions and movements in Europe. General Pierce is reported to be very liberally disposed towards republican efforts abroad. Massrs. Cushtng nnd Davis are understood to sympathize with the President in this respect. Dubbin nnd Campbell stood indifferent.

Mr. Guthrie is cool, prudent and judicious— with the generous impulses of his Kentucky heart inclining him to the favor of the liberal cause, he is yet restrained by the scruples of a wise nnd deliberate discretion. Mr. Marcy is charged with excessive conservatism in the matter-

The S nate Committee on foreign relations is understood to be engaged in discussing the copyright treaty. It was negotiated by Mr. Webster, and all written by him except the last paragroph, which was added by Mr. Everett. One clause provides that it may be abrogated by either of the contracting parties with in five years. Messrs. Everett and Clayton are known to be strongly in.favor of the treaty. Mr. Mason and other Dem ocratic members of the committee are cautious in expressing their opinion, but are believed to be unfavorably disposed on the question. No vote will be had this session.

The Senate has also before it the Con sular Treaty with France, which, being considered to be of great commercial importance, and involving no disputed points, will probably be ratified.

A PATENT CRADLE.—Mr. Alexander Edmonds, of Ml. Pulaski, Logan county, 111., has just obtained patent upon a most ingenious and beautiful invention —"Ilorilogicle Cradle1'—which will particularly recommend itself to mothers. Tho cradle i6 a handsome piece of furniture, and moves between two upright columns, placed upon a moveable base, upon the principle of the pendulum of the clock. It runs by means of a weight in one of the columns, and when wound up will run 24 hours, or as much shorter lime as the nurse may desire.— All who have seen ii pronounce it to be a most beautiful specimen of American ingenuity. The inventor will exhibit it at the World's Fair. The cost of the cradlc is from six to one hundred dollars, according to style and workmanship.—Dem. Press.

BARNCN'S LAST PROJECT.—A now project has been suggested by Barnum. which we should like to sec tried. In a recent temperance speech made by him in New York, he slated that there were 7.000 grog-ships in the city, with an average custom in each of probably 810 a day. He made the following offer to the city, viz :—If the city would shut up all the groggeries, and give him the amount spent in all of them, he would pay nil the city taxes, amounting to 84.000,000 send every child to a good school present every family with a library of 100 good books, 3 barrels of flour, ond a silk dress to every female, old or young, and give every body a free ticket to his museum.

SNOW SKATES.—The Minnesota Pioneer intimates that they have considersI ble snow up in that region, and says that "some of the Norwegians who reside here use the Lapland snow skates, which are described in the school geographies.

These skates are strips of smooth wood, about six feet long and three inches wide, and turning up like sleigh runners before. The wearer partly shuffles along by moving alternately his feet, and shoves himself behind at the same lime with a long staff. One of these snow skaters arrived in town last week from Lake Superior, having traveled at the rate of eighty miles or less a day."

Integrity is the surest way of success in the long run. He who is underhanded may apparently prosper for a lime, but during those years of seeming success, there is growing up in the public mind a distrust of him.

SOCIETY.—Some persons are thrown off their balance when in society oth-j era are thrown on their balance the ex -1 citement of company, and the obeervalion of other characters, correct their biases.

From the National Intelligencer.

TRIBUTE TO PRESIDENT FILLMORE FROM HIS CABINET. We have much pleasure in giving pul£ licity to the following correspondence, which reflects equal honor upon President Fillmore and the, members of his Administration. It has, we presume, rarely happened that so great a degree of harmony existed between a President and every member of his cabinet. It may be supposed by some that the relations of Mr. Webster and Mr. Fillmore, as candidates for the Presidency, formed an exception to this remark. We have, however, the best reasons for believing that their friendly and confidential intercourse, personal and political, was never for a moment interrupted.

Letter to President Fillmore. WASHINGTON, March 3, 1853. SIR:—As our connection with you is about to terminate, we cannot forbear to give utterance to the feelings of unmingled satisfaction with which we look back upon our official aud personal intercourse. We have witnessed with admiration your untiring devotion to the public service, and your patience'and assiduity in the discharge of the incessant and laborious duties of your office. Near observation has afforded U3 innumerable proofs of the enlightened and comprehensive regard for the best interests of the whole Union, which you have brought to the execution of the high trust which devolved upon you under circumstances of peculiar embarrassment. For the fidelity to its best interests which you have thus manifested, the country, we believe, will yet, with one voice, do you ample justice.

We have the greatest pleasure in addling, that the unbroken harmony which has prevailed in your Cabinet, and between yourself and all its members, has greatly facilitated the performance of our arduous labors.

With our united best wishes that your health may be preserved, and that the country may long have the benefit of your patriotism, experience, and high intelligence, we remain, dear sir. your sincere friends,

SMART, IF TRUE.—The Milwaukie Wisconsin relates the following as an authentic transaction of the managers of the Rock River Valley Railroad:

It is said that the agent of the company made a contract with an English house about a year since. He was to pay half cash and the other half in bonds of the road.— How to pay the half cash was the question, for the company had no money. A lucky thoagbt struck him—Iron would probably advance. He ordered just double what the road would want; 500 tons instead of 250; 1000 tons instead of 500, and so on. Half the iron, before its arrival, was sold to the Southern Michigan Company for cash, at a trive under the market price, by reason of the advance in iron, affording a profit to the agent. Thus the English house was paid half cash and the road got what iron it wanted, and had a little cash left to pay for grading a few miles.

CALIFORNIA NEWS.

THE ROBBBK JOAQUIN.—The papers are nearly filled with accounts of murders and depredations committed by a Mexican named Joaquin, of whom we find the following account in the San Francisco Whig: t»

Joaquin was born in the Villa deCatorce, in the department of Jaliseo. He is aged about 35 years, and has ranked among the most crafty and daring guerrillas of Mexico. He is chief of a notorious band of robbers now infesting the vicinity of the city of Mexico,and though living in California, has a regular chain of communication with his associates in his native country. He has been known to enter the capital cities disguised as {t friar—has been arrested several times, but through the expertness and influence he wielded among the soldiery, he has been discharged.

I)e is about six feet in height, and of immense muscular strength is well vested in the use of arms'and in disposiiian cruel and sanguinary. He has a dark, sallow complexion, and during the Mexican war was knuwn to wear a coat of armor. He has committed numberless murders, has burned many ranches, and has resided in San Francisco. He has frequently obtained information of Mexicans leaving California with money, who have been dogged and robbed by detached portions of his band. In some instances they have been robbed on their arrival at Mexico—the news of their departure, and the sums of money they had about them, having been forwarded by means of his associates living along the road. Jaoquin belong ed to the band of guerrillas commanded by the famous Padre Juratta, who was captured ond shot during the Mexican war.

It is alleged that Joaquin wears a coat of mail, which is bullet proof, beneath his dress, and that he has several times been struck by balls, but has thus far escaped unhurt.

The Sacramento papers of the 15ih of February contain a long account of an unsuccessful pursuit of this robber, of which the Alia California makes the following summary.

On Friday last, the citizens of Jacksonville brought in the dead body of Mr. Lake, a butcher of that place, and the body of a Chinaman, who was wounded by a pistol ball. It was not known who had committed these outrages. On the next day. Saturday, three Chinamen were killed between Suiter and Jackson, a distance of some four miles. The driver of the Stockton

A brother of Joaquin had been captured, and after confessing that he had acted as a spy for the band, was hung upon the spot.

A very valuable "dead letter" came to life again at the letter office in Washington, on Monday last. Last September a gentleman of one of the Western States purchased a farm still further out in the "Eden of America." He was going in person to survey his new possession, but instead of carrying a sum of $2500 about him. preferred consigning it to the mails. On arriving at the town which was the terminus of his journey, he inquired at ihe post office for the letter which contained the treasure, but owing to the failure of the mail on that particular day, or some other cause, he did not receive it. The alleged loss was communicated to the Department at Washington, and prompt measures were adopted to ferret out the cause. On Monday, however, the letter enclosing five $500 bills in good money, was received "as a dead letter." The owner was immediately apprised at the discovery, and will soon be in possession of the funds. ~~~~~~~

The murder of a child by its mother, nt Stoughton in Massachusetts, is a frightfully shocking affair. It appears that the wretched mother had exhibited symptoms of uneasiness or insanity during the night, and that her husband and a neighbor sat up with her. Towards morning the neighbor went away, leaving the woman and her three children in bed, together, in a bed-room, and her husband in the kitchen. He was called back in short time, when he found the husband holding his wife in his arms, and a bloody razor on the floor. Going thence to the bedroom, he found the child in the bed covered with blood, its throat cut, and dead. The Jury returned a verdict that the deceased.died from a wound inflicted by its mother. The latter has been committed for trial. When arraigned, she said "i am guilty* enough."

A MODEL COUNTT.—Potter County, Pa., where no intoxicating liquor is sold, is attracting the attention of persons settling in Pennsylvania, as a place where life and property will be more secure, and the county taxes lighter than elsewhere in that State. The Coroner's fees last year only amounted to fifty cents. The expense of Philadeladelphia county, caused by intoxicating liquors would go far to purchase Potter cou|»ty out and out.

A "dead letter," containing $2500 was discovered in the dead letter office at Washington last week.

GIRLS IN PANTS IN OLDEN TIME.—From the following extract copied from the old court records, it appears that Emma Snodgrass had an early predecessor in her method of notoriety seeking.

The Buffalo Express publishes a statement showing that there are now building on all the upper lakes, thirtyeight thousand four hundred tons of shipping, while of this no less than thirty thousand five hundred and forty-five tons, or one-third of the entire amount of all the Lakes, is at this moment upon stocks at Buffalo. ~~~~~~~

PJENSION vs. MATRIMONY.—In the Senate of the United States on Saturday, a pension was granted to Betsey Norton, a widow of ninety odd years, "to continue for life unlett the marry agatn." Betsey will therefore mind her p's and q's when the young fellows are about.

Don't live in hope with your arms folded, fortune smiles on those who roll np their sleeves and put their shoulder to the wheel.

The longer I live, the more 1 ameer* tain that the great difference between men, the great and insignificant, is energy—invincible determination—an honest purpose once fixed-—and then death or victory. That quality will do anything that can be done in the world and no talents, no circumstances, no oppor* tunity will make a two legged creatures man without it.

BROMA AND COCOA.—Every body in this country, of course, is quite familiar with those two excellent articles of diet for invalids, broma and cocoa,manufactured by Walter Baker & Co., of Dorchester, Mass. Some years siuce the special consideration of medical practitioners was called to these preparations, as appropriate food for tho sick, in the various conditions of debility and prostration to which they are at times reduced, leaving the digestive apparatus too feeble to appropriate any but the most delicate nutriment. Medical gentlemen of eminence in this city were delighted with Mr. Baker's broma 'and from that period to this, its good character has b^en sustained Another set of physicians have commenced business since that period, who may not have become familar with the article and we therefore refer again to the subject for the purpose of reminding both our young medicalfriendsat home and abroad, that they will derive important advantagess from the use of these admirable kinds of food. Druggists in the interior would find their account in always keeping both on hand, with a view to meeting the prescriptions ot medical attendants. From our own personal experience of the value of broma particularly, we can speak decidedly in its favor. A dietetic course is not unfrequently quite a snecesaary as strict medication and in recovering from a low state, it is one of the perplexities of a general practitioners life, to determine what may or what may not be safely adopted as regimen.—Dr. Smith's Boston Medical and

Surgical Journal. The Broma and Cocoa referred to above, are sold by all the principal Grocers in the United States, who also sell a variety of superior Chocolates made by the same gentlemen.—ED.
