Mir Lewis, who is now candidate for Con- gress in the southern district of the Stae has been reproached for his vote at the last session to repeal the 25th section of the Judiciary act, which would put ''curb in the mouth and hook in the nose of the great Federal Leviathan," and by men too, who may be very honest in their belief that independent judges are necessary 10 the existence of free peo- pie. The publisher of the Mobile Register seems to be more alarmed at this vote than any others, and that "no party rage ever before inspired any of its votaries with spirit of innovation sufficiently daring to invade the hallowed precincts" and that this clause is the connecting link that binds together the several States We contend that the section in question is not the which binds ogetherthe afec. tons of the American people, and that in its exercise by aco-ordinae branch of the government much mis- chief be done by perverted interpretation of the article itself, whenever it's incorrigble expounders contemplate some daring innovation.

that five or six millions of chaidrons could be ex

as peat turf generally renews itself once in twen-
ty twenty five years, this bed may DE consider
ed as nexhaustible foe any quantity that will pro-
badly ever be required. AS an article OF fuel 1t

from its texture and appearance, to have been al

very clear, without smoke, or any disagreeable
smell whatever. In the common Liverpool CRATES,
when the draft is not too strong. it makes de-
lightfully clear and pleasant fire. Three chat
drons of this peat are believed to be equal to one
of coal, and may be had for about six or seven
dollars. Mr.. Woodwork, being man OF en-
terprise, has commenced working the bed upon
an extensive scale. He has cut a canal into the
heart of it from the river, and will by another
year be able to supply any quantity that may be
desired. We understand that the Gas Company
of this city, has contracted for large quantity,
to be used as substitute for coal.

The enterprise ofour eountrymen is constantly
engaged in discovering new channels ofinter com
munication between the most distant sections of
the Union. Ii has now been demonstrated, that
the transportation of goods from New York to St.
Louis by the way of lake Michigan and the Illi-
Rois River, is every way practicab'e-nore spec
dy than any other route. and attended with less
expense One of our enterprising merchants,
who purchased his goods in New York, adopted
the new route-sent his goods to Buffalo, shipped
them to Chicago, thence carried them seventy
miles over land, and descending the Illinois and
Mississippi, brought them to this place. Not
withstanding the disadvantages always attendant
upon experimental enterprises, the costs in this
case were much less than they would have been
had they been sent by New Orleans; and it is be-
lieved that the whole route can be performed in
less than twenty-five days.

In the DEBATE Ia the house OF lsOruS, OIL we
29,h of August, IN the subject of closing the
Beer Shops on Sunday, the Lord Chancellor
made an interesting speech, from which we take
the following passage:
g. He was most intensely anxious to promote
this object, the putting down of the use of ar
dent spirits; for, from the experience he had in
the House OF Commons upon Police Committees,
in the investigations into the causes Of crime in
the metropolis, he convinced that the most
cruel evils did arise from the consumption of ar
dent spirits the haunts of the lower orders in
the metropolis and the other great towns of the
kingdom. Ii he had the power, strongly as be
had the disposition, he would decidedly put
down the consumption of ardent spirits in this
kingdom. If he could see his way to prohibi ion
of the use of ardent spirits, he would pursue it,
All his principles of free trade, and IN favor of
unfettered industry. he would throw overheard,
if he thought he could thereby insure the vessels
being safely moored in the desired port. He said
he would fling aside all his principles of unfet
tered industry and free trade, if he were sure
that he could. by any force of legislative enact
ment, prohibit the use of ardent spirits BY the
lower classes in this country. But he knew this
could not be done, and in despair he gave up the
spec ation he had entertained He found that
not without an invidious- and tyrannical, and,
therefore, in this free country, impracticable dis
tinction between the two great classes 10 this
countryside rich and the poor-he could not see
his way. Impressed, then. with this conviction,
that he could not prevent the use of ardent spi-
r,ts, the next best thin. he felt he could do was
to discourage. as far as in hun lay, the cOnsump-
ton of it."
