IRON WheelS.-We saw wagon in
cou rt-st. this forenoon, which from the
novel construction of the wheel excited
considerable curiosity in the passers-b by -
They were made entirely of lron-lhe
outer part of the wheel was formed from a
single piece of iron about an inch and "a
halt square-the spokes were round, and
five Fights of an inch in diamter- The
naves were constructed in new and in
genious manner, by which the friction is
much diminished, and the whole appear
ance of the wheels conveyed the idea OF
usefulness, neatness and simplicity.
On inquiry we learned that these wheels
were calculated to sustain weight of a
ton and half-and that wheels Of the or
binary construction, to sustain so great a
weight, would weigh about the same as
these newly invented wheels. The ex-
pense we are informed, will not vary mate
rally from those in common use. They
were manufactured by Mr.. Hale of South
Boston-and we believe this is the first at
tempt of the kind to manufacture all the
parts of a wheel of iron. The advantages
to be derived from this invention, are neat
ness, safety, and durability Boston Pa

Lightning.--On Monday night be-
tween 70 and half past | o'clock, there
was shower in this city and vicinity,
accompanied by very heavy thunder.-
The house of Mr.. S. Ii. Bennett, Bright.
on, was struck by lightning and much
injured; every window in the house ex
cept two, and some Of the furniture, be-
ing shattered. 1t is remarkable that
none of the family were injured, and
that but one was aware of the house be-
ing struck, although several children
slept in one room within few feet Of a
fireplace which was torn to pelces.-

FRENCHMAN S BLUNDER.

A Frenchmau in one OF the Atlantic

tie excited by wine, which is of very
elevating nature, did inconveniently IN
dertake to walk over a party of gentle
men and ladies whom he CHANGED to
meet on the sidewalk. And as the gen
tlemen aforesaid, being accompanied
with ladies, could not conveniently stop
to chastise his presumption, he was forth
with handed over to the charge of the
Waterman.

The club dingling at his wrist, "you must

Poor Monsieur Tongeville, in spite of
his resistance, was taken to the watch
house, to rest as he best could, on the
soft side Of a board; in the morning, be-
ing pretty well sobered, he plead hard
to be set at liberty. But the Waterman
declared he had 10 discretion onthe sub
]eet, and 60 before the Mayor he must.
"DiabIe!' exclaimed the Frenchman
but as there was no use in pleading, he
went quietly on. But on entering the
Mayors office, he seemed to he very
much surprised to find before whom he
had come. II was not his turn TO be ex
amined, and while others were under
going the question, he kept Struggling
his shoulders, and twisting his body into
twenty shapes, when at last, as if think
lag aloud, he exclaimed, "Save din, he's

A CARD.

In directing the attention of their readers
ito the Improvements and exertons which
have been increasingly made, to elevate
The LADY'S BOOK to that station which
it now occupies, the Proprietors have in>
Cured a very considerable expense, which
deserves, on the subscribers part, a suitable
punctuaity in meeting their engagements.
To them, individually, the amount of the
subscription is trife, but to the proprie>
tors, it is, collectively, of the utmosiimpor-
lance; and 1t is confidently expected that
the early transmission of arrears, will prove
to them that their intentions and exertons
have not been disregarded or forgotten, by
those for whom they have been made.
After the fisrt of January it is the inten-
ton of the proprietors to send circulars to
all who are in arrears one year. Subscri-
bers wishing to avoid the expense of post
age, will please make payment before that
time.

RHODE ISLAND LEGISLATURE.
JUNE SESSION-NEWPORT.
Debate on The Bill for calling Conren-
tion 10 amend the Constitutional Charter
Of this State.
CONTINUED.

Mr. DoRR-Wc are not falling into the
error which the gentleman from South
Kingstown suggests. We do not pro-
pose to alter the qualifications of voters
for representative Of this House. We
merely ask the members Of this House
to give the people fair chance to form
constitution satisfactory to themselves.
But if it were otherwise repeat that this
General Assembly have full control over
this subject. As was said this morning,
the charter gives the legislature the pow
er to fix the qualifications of voters
Certainly there is no defect of power
But it may appear to some that the nrgu-
ment is not so strong in favor of the
change OF the representatives,. i think
l have shown that the Legislature has
power to make this also. l do say that
the removal of the Senate into the other
room, as a separate House was much
greater exercise Of power than that OF
changing and equalzing the representa-
ton to the proposed convention. There
is vast distance between these two ca
ses. The gentleman from South Kings
town says that the measure we propose
will be put down. Sir, / have no doubt
it will be put down in this House, but
there is an appeal to the people, and we
will perscvere nevertheless. But as 'he
amendment is put down here, l will take
the liberty to state a few facts which can
not be put down,

FAR uERs' AND MECHANICS ADVOCATE
RESPECTABILITY.

. We apprehend that there is no one
thing that occasions moro misery in this
world than this wrong meaning that has
been given to this one word respecta
biity." What is respcctability Is II
being lawyer, doctor, merchant, ol
a minister 7 Does it consist IN wearing
the best broadcoth, or in being able ia
dance gracefully, or jabber French flu
ently Assuredly not. All these may
and do exist, and yet their Possessors are
a, far from being respectable as they are
from being useful members OF society
which by the way is as far as you can pos
s,bly get by way of comparison. True
rcsp ectablity consists in adorning the sit
uation in life in which Providence has
placed us-in striving with all assiduity
TO make ourselves wiser and better-ln
doing all that is in our power to enhance
our own happiness and the happiness ol
our fellow beings. The man who by his
honest industry gains himself and family
n comfortable subsistence by tilling the
soil. is far more respectable than the law
ysr who has am used his thousands by
grinding the face Of the poor, ,and wrench
from the hands ofthe unfortunate his only
support in the shape of fees, or the doctor
who prcscribcs his nostrums which often
er kill than cure, or the merchant whose
worthless limbs are covered with costly
apparel. Men form false estimates from
outward appearances-it is not outward
show, nor costly apparel, nor difference
of calling that make men respectable.
There is a certain class in society-mere
butterflies, who it is true lay claim to re-
spectablity, and who affect to treat the
common pc6ple-those who do not-choose
to deck their persons in gaudy attire, and
spend their time in idle frivolty and sense
less mirth-with great indifference. But
when we becomn acquainted with these
creatures, we shall look upon them with
very different feelings than those of envy.
We shall view them with pity and con-
temp,-pity because they thus efectually
BY their folly blot out Of existence the
mind, the soul, that only principle in them
which can afford lasting happiness, and
make them useful in the world in which
they are permitted to stay to hre, such
beings do not-and contempt, that those
who have the power thus to make
themselves really happy and useful should
thus render themselves complete drones
yes, complete nuisances in society.
LET the honest farmer and mechanic
content himself, and act consistently with
this reflection, that they are doing more
for the good of their country, for man
kind. and their own happiness while en-
paped in their useful employments, than
host of ndolent lawyers, ignorant doctors,
or insolvent merchants, and let them
teach these things diligently to their chill
dren, and we shall see less gildcd pover-
ty-fewer brainless dandies-fewer elem
mate and useless females, and more true
Yespsctabiliiy than we now meet with

Of the age. How refreshing to sec the

examination Of its form! So long as man
remains sentent being, the dry verbal
