This statement shows an amount Of
work greater than has ever been hereto
fore done at the Mint in the same time,
since the labor is proportional, not to the
value Of the coins, but more nearly TO the
number of pieces. 1t will be observed
that 2 220,5OO coins have been struck, Of
less denomination than the half dollar;
aud we are sill busily occupied with the
fabrication of these small coins fol which
the demand seems to be but little dimin-
ished
The Mint at New-Orleans, after haring
various unforeseen difficulties to over
come, commenced coming on the 7rh Of
last month; so that all the branch M,ns
are now in full operation
Very respectfully,
Your faithful servant,

CoLoN1zATloN Love FOR THE Col
oRED PEoPLE.-A highly respectable
and Intelligent genteman-sn elder in
one of the coIored Presbyterian churches
in this city-went 70 the colonization meet
ing at the Musical Fund Hall, last week,
for the purpose of hearing from MessrS.
Breckenridge and Bethune recital Of the
blessings which colonization is to bring
TO the colored man. At the outer door of
the Hall, he was stopped by man who
seemed to be acting in the capacity of
door-keepcr, who exclaimed" NV boy,
you can't 60 in here tonight ~ &" Why ??
inquired the co'ored man" by whose or
derS do you prevent mc?' "'Tis of no
use for you to hold any debate,' quickly
replied The door keeper, "the managers
of the Hall and of the Society have agreed
that no black people shall come in here
tonight" -" WE'LL" was the quiet re- oind
er, &" did want TO 60 in to hear what
might be said Of the goodIy land, but if
cannot 60 in peaceably, will retire. -
Penn. Freeman,
EFFECTs OF PEAcE.-The Peace OF
the world was never so general and SO
,ong maintained as at present. The con.
sequence is, that commerce was never sc
much extended, the arts so much peri ct.
ed, or the aggregate welfare of mankind
so great. The Emperor of Russia has
a palace at Berlin, where he is expected
to reside some time. Kings are divestec
of much Of their power and exclusive
ness; they visit each others dominions
and the lion and the lamb may almost lit
orally be said 10 lie down together The
elevation Of the people, by the mora
power of right education, of both mind
and heart. is now one of the great OBJ
jects Of all civiiz d nations.-Ctncinnati

The SUITS AT LAw--We believe, af
ter ALL that but one suit has been com
menced, relating to the General Assem-
bly,. The actual serving Of process, ir
that to which the Trustees are parties, ap
pears to have been deferred 1t seems 6
pity that the Presbyterian church, by hold
ing property, or having held for its use BY
trustees, should be exposed to suits at law
But so it is, and there is no help for it
| The Jurisdiction Of courts must extend tc
/ all bodies by whom or for whom proper
tv is held. Is it not desirable, then, fo1
ecclesiastical bodies to keep themselves a.
free as possible from this exposure IN

SUGAR IN THE FRENCH WEST INDrEs.-Ir
| order to encourage the cultivation Of the
beet root sugar in France, the government
OF that country has laid a duty so heavy
upon that imported from the French Yves
India Islands, that the planters have beer
| obliged 10 relnquish the cultivation of the
| sugar cane, and are turning their attention
to cotton. Large orders have recently been
received at New-York city, from the plant
ers, for roller cotton gins.-Zion'S Herald
ANOTHER PERSONAL RENcoNTRE IN Con
GREss.-In the House Of Representatives
on Monday evening, Mr.. Downing, the del
egate from Florida, in debate, ma e some
personal remarks upon Mr.. Biddle Of Pitts
| bprgh. Pa, to which the latter re1orted tina,
it was false. Mr.. Downing thereupon seized
some missile and made demonstration Of
advancing violently upon Mr.. B., but be
was prevented by the bystanders. The
charge Of falsehood in the mean time was
repeated BY Mr.. Biddle. 1t does not appear
that the affair had been adi usted at the las1
accounts.-Boston Patriot
SUBTERRANEAN The
line Of Railway between Lyons and St
Etienne, the largest manufacturing towr
and the richest coal district in France, il
only "a miles in length; yet, such is the
unevenness of the country. and so grea
has been the anxiety Of the engineers tc
preserve as complete 4 level as possible
that there are actually no less than to0en
ty tunnels between the two termini; One
of these is a mile in length, while anoth
er, which is half mile long, is carried
under the bed of a liver which crosses
he !ine.-Mechanies Magazine.
