Committee on The expenditures Of the Stat,

the list of expenses, to show the prodgality OIL

Maurice Furst for GOLD medal of J. O.

In the National Journal, soon afterwards, we
find the following paragraph:
Now we have turned 10 the same report, and
have it now before us, and find the item aIudt d

'Moriz Furst, for medal Of the president, $40

Jackson President and the sum Of $40, plain

with The following, by way of an apology:
"The Journal is in furious age at our inno

mary of the proceedings of Congress ON Thurs,

Ger will supply what was then emitted.
In the House IF Representatives. Yesterday.
the amendments of the Senate 10 the Tariff bill
were all adopted, through the insrumentality
Of the previous question-which BY the way,
has been very familarly resorted 10 during the
present session-and the bill now requires on.
ly the signature Of the President to become
law.
There is one circumstance concerning this
bill, which ii is important TO merchants, as web
as manufacturers, 10 be informed of. An amend
ment was adopted in the Senate 10 The first sec.
ton of the bill, which postponed the time al
which it is TO take effect, from the hirlicth day
o. June to the first day Of September This a
mendment, it is supposed, was intended 10 ap-
ply 10 the whole bill. Whether the distinction
between the first section was Academia! or other
wise, it is one of the features OF the bill as il
has passed The first section embraces the du-
lies on iron, III lis various forms, and fabrics,
and lead, and the new duties On those articles
do not take effect until the irst day Of Septem-
ber. On the other articles of Wool, mannfac-
lures OF wool, hemp and its manufactures, dis.
'iiled spirits, indigo, window glass, vas and
bottles, roofing states, and cotton cloths, sc.
the new duty is 10 take effect, as proposed in
the ORIGINAL bill, On the 30th day Of June.

Les, an erroneous impression may go abroad
as TO the real extent 10 which the bill for the
relief of the survivors Of The revolutionary ar
my goes, ii may be proper TO state that it does
not embrace all the veterans Of that interesting
period lis operation is confined to those Of
6cers who were entitled to the half pay under
the resolutions Of Congress of 1880, and to
those priva,rs who were entitled to bounty Of
eighty dollars. We know many members who
voted agains, the present bill, who would have
supported any bill which embraced the whole
Of the officers; and it is due TO them, as well as
necessary for the correct information of the
public, that 1t should he understood 10 what ex

COFFEE.

The discovery Of cofre is generally at,ribu,
ed to the Prior Of a monastery in that part of
Arabia where he shrub is indigenous. The
facts of the case. however, as verified by the
learned Addalcuder, whose manuscript is in the
King Of Frances library, and by NJ. Galland,
,ranslatcr Of The Arabian Tales, are as follow :
About the middle Of the fifteenth century, one
Ganaleddin, who resided a; Alden near the
mouth of Red Sea, having occasion TO tra-
vel into Persia found there some Of his country
men, who were in the habit Of taking coffee,
aad who were loud in the praise Of its virtues
On his return 10 Alden, he was cured Of sick
ness by the use Of Coffee. As Mufti OF Alden,
and having occasion to pass whole lights in
prayer, Gemalleddin persuaded the Dervishes,
the better &c tit them for watching, to make use
Of coffee. In short lime there vas no beve>
rage in Alden SO popular as coffee: lawyers
took i, to stimulate their faculties mechanics
and artists TO invigorate their bodies; travels
lers to aid them to prosecute their journey by
night; in short, all Alden took il. From A
den it passed to Mecca, where it became in a
short time, if possible still more popular
From Arabia Felix /, was carried into Egypt,

FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS REWARD

From the moment Of the commencement oil
the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road, we were
strongly inclined TO the opinion that the inven-
live genius Of our Counirymcn woult never be
conlented TO follow the beaten track pursued
in similar works, on the other side Of the At
lantic. Accordingly, we have already had &C
casion 10 notice several new and VALUABLE i'm i,
provements in the construction Of railways and
railroad carriages; and, within the last month,
the meritorious invention Of our esteemed
townsman, Dr.. VIM. Howard We have now
10 speak Of another invention of a railway car,
the model Of which has just been submitted to
the Directors Of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
Road Company, by the inventor, Mr.. Ross
Winans, of New-Jersey, and NJ. J. L. Sullivan.
civil engineer. This car is very simple in its
construction, and seems so admirably TO answer
its intended purpose as TO leave nothing to be
desired on the score Of facility OF transpor,a-
ton. Such, at all events, appeared 10 be the
opinion entertained Of il by a number Of gen,
tlemen who witnessed its exhibition on Satur.
day. The model is capable Of carrying 400
pounds weight. The effect Of lis operation,
under the disadvantage Of An imperfect railway,
was five and half times greater than is usual
on the railroads in England. A half pound
weight, led over pulley, drew 46o pounds, ex.
elusive Of The carriage, which weighed 100
pounds. In England it is considered that one
pound is the power requisite for drawing a
oad Of 200 pounds. In the present instance.
one pound 10 ll44 pounds was the ratio Of
The power to the load, and il is expected thar
On large scale, a still greater advantage will
'e gained. With this car horse will be able !
o draw upwards of 40 tons, instead Of 81 tons
y the ordinary mode. The car has also other
properties which we understand have ten.
lency 10 lessen the expense of the unfayorabIe
urves OF rail road. The model will remain
n this city for some days, SO that all who feel
desire TO examine it, may have an opportuni.
