Door. SrILLAANS, the great investor Of Mscsssar
oil, has made an equally great discovery in politics.
On Monday night the Professor made speech TO the
ndependant voters" Of the Fifth Ward, as Samivel
Weller would call them that produced in politics what
the oil does in har-makes things smooth, shining,
and agreeable. Tae Doctor is not locofoco-nor
democrat-nor a whig--nor a natyve." He goes
on his own hook, and says that he will beat any
man in the Fifth Ward, of his inches. All the ladies
are for him. He is straight, tall, goodlooklng, and
twenty-five, hereabouts. Doctor Brandreth, since
Doctor Stillmann was nominated, has taken to eat
ing ms own Universal Vegetable pills. Alas! poor
Brandreth!

STEAMBOAT NovELrv.-This splendid boat has
been entirely re6ed under the sole superntendencc of
Capt. Alber, De Groot, who will take the command
other during her contemplated trips from New York
TO Albany. She is two hundred and twenty seven
feet long, and her beam is twenty-five feet A new
steam engine, on the horizontal principle invented
by Mr.. Thomas b. Stillman, is of the many i'm
provenents we noticed. This engine comprises
equal if not superior speed the high pressure prn
ciple and possesses decided advantage over the old
plan, in case Of explosion. BY Mr.. Stillman's prn
cipe the steam is condensed in number OF pipes go
that should one Of them give way, il would cause
more injury than the blowing off ofa tea ketei lid, and
the damage can be instanianeously repaired. In
speed she compete with any boat upon our rivers
Last Monday, trial of her capability took place.
when il was found that thirty revolutions of her
wheels took place per minute, giving her speed Of
twenty miles per hour, with the tide, and Of fifteen
niles, against it, Another advantage is gained by
Mr.. Stillman's engine, which is, il can be worked
with any kind of fuel coal wood, indierently and
is less liable 10 accident or fire.
The decorations and convcnienccs of the Novelty
are Of the first order. She has sixty gentlemen :
berths in her main cabin her ladies' cabin contains
twenty ber,hs, and, by novel arrangement three
hundred persons can be comfortably provided with
dormitories

be always obtained and choice selection OF wines
&c will grace the bar, which will be under the SUPER
intendence of Mr.. VIM. Toby, who is well known as
a scientific and attentive vin,ner.
One Improvement, which we had almost, forgotten
TO mention is the salon d entrS Of the ladies cabin
most tasefully decorated, combising the "utlis cum

"ths sweet summer air." as could be desired. The
ladies' cabin to which it leads is unique of its kind
il contains every convenience pour fare la toilette or
pour $ orner. II cannot but give satisfaction.
The Novelty starts, on her first trip, on Thursday
next, at O'Clock, p. M. BY that time, it is hoped
the ice will have in great left the Hudson.
Capt De Groot runs her ION his own hook" The
fare, for the present, is fixed AT 50.
If Ito deserve success be to insure it, the Novelty
cannot fail Of amply repayng her snerprsing proprc

Nuslc-The style Of Mr.. Russell is very similar 10
the present Italian mode Of executing proans and sa-
cred melodies. In private circles among the better
classes the performer accompanies the voice on the
piano with the exact notes Of the air sung and is
executed either in octaves in thirds and ffths both
in base and treble, that all the music the instrument
affords is produced The effect is truly grand and
most decidedly superior TO the common mode of play
ing regular bass and treble TO the air. IL has the
advantage too OF keeping the singer the true notes.
so that his execution will always be perfect the
instrument tits great assistance too, IN learning
to sing. Mr.. Russelrs IS new style of singing, but
think he does not adopt the Italian method in play
| ing the accompaniment, although his method is very
excellent With respect to any thing more on the
subject must say, Non MI RicoRpo.

following testimony 10 It's merits IS from the New
Bedford Mercury:
"The excellence Of Mr.. Fosters system, and jts
acknowledged superiority others is, we believe
fully admitted; and withina short period il has been
very extensively adopted in the practice Of the first
commercial houses, in our principal cities. The OBJ
ect has been to furnish schools and academies with
a work on this subject, simple in its illustrations
as TO be easily understood by those who are unac-
quainted with the art; and yet comprehensive as
TO afford all the information requisite for the practical
accountant. The author has aimed not to promul-
gate or fancful theories bat rather TO select in
formation from the best sources, and TO ombedy the
excelencies Of the most approved writers the sub
ject. That he has succeeded the rapid sale of the
first edition affords the satisfactory evidence.
The present edition has been revised and improved
and is besides rendered more valuable 10 practical
accountants and men of business, by the addition o
an extensive article on Equation Of Payments, to-
geiher with Time Table, useful in calculating IN

S1a.-A crisis has arrived N the
commercial affairs of the South and
Sonth West:-a crisis the most tayora-,
HE that has occurred since the lorna
don Of the American Government, to
attempt anew organization OF our COM
mercial relations with Europe. We
ought to be our own importers, for the
veTy best reason, that we furnish near
" al the articles ofexport in the great
;tspIes of Cotton, Rice and Tobacco.
This is a singular advantage tor any
people to enioy.-Yet, with all this IN
our favor, by nature, we employ the
merchants cfthe Northern cities as the
AGENTS in the business. They export
our immensely valuable productions,
and import our articles Of consumption;
and from this agency they derive a
profit which has enriched them; and,
as long as it continues, will enrich them
at our expense. 1t has indeed either
directly or indirectly made the whole
of the North and Northwest what they
are. 1t is time this unequal state OF
things should cease: that we should
look to the natural advantages of our
situation as Southern men; and take
measures to secure to ourselves the
full enjoyment of them.
Should your views accord with ours,
we propose, respectfully, that a con-
vention of Southern and Southwest
ern merchants be held in the City Of
Augusta, Ga, on the third Monday in
October next, then and there, to take
into consideration the whole subject,
as it stands connected with our present
and future interests.
We beg that you will not think light
ly Of the matter--it is most important
one; involving the interests of millions
yet unborn.
We are very respectfully,
Your ob't. servants,
