DEAR SIR: We have duly received your IA

New York, and must regret we still continue
unable to meet your wishes regards sale
of your Rez.fs or a loan on the security Of then,
Thewar with which we are threatened by France
again diverts the attention of our capitalists from
permanent investments, and all American secu-
rites appear quite forgotten. Indiana 5 per
cent. dollar stock was offered to us at 67I 90.
and Missouri, being less known, could not even
be sold in the same proportion. Lfhouerey, youy
elections for the PreSidentship should haze the
result notc anticipated, 1t is Gerry probable that
an impulse toH be giren to all State Stocks, and
the moment may then a1TiUe aehen your bonds
can be introduced autder ,faUorable atspices.
though not at the limit you have fixed, whilst
Illinois per cent sterling bonds can be purchas-
ed so much lower; the price asked at present for
this latter stock is 81 90, being nearly 10, 0 0
under your limit after you haze tcaited so
long, ace think 1t could be pity to recall the

w lshlng to do all the good we can in the
woriu' we have gathered a few choice bits for
'he eu'icauon and instruction of the eeweaker
sex;" and Will commence with the subioined
sensible remarks, by some clever fellow, on a
| tender subject:
] Inc credullty OF woman, on the subject of be-
ing loved is very great; they often mistake
common liking for particular regard. and on
tins foundation build up castles in the air. and
NIL them with all the treasures of their bright
! hopes and conhding love, and when some start
ling fact destroys the vision they feel as if the
whole creation was blank to them. and thew

put II you do make the mistake, take all the
Diane to yourself; and your dignity by Sc
crecy, if you cannot keep your heart from loving.
Here " an excellent recipe for making lady5s
dress, which may, we think, be read with profit
by maidens and matrcns Let your earrings
be attention, encircled by the pearls of refine
ment; the diamonds of yoar necklace be truth.
and the chain Christianity; your breastpin.
charity, ornamented with pearls of gentlencss:
your finger rings be affection, set round with
diamonds Of industry; your girdle, simplicity,
with the tassals of good humor; let your thicker
garb be virtue and your drapery politeness; let
your shoes be wisdom, secured by the strings of
perseverance.
And here is ''stray one"-short, but full of
instruction:
There are four things that look very awkward
in woman, viz: to see her undertake to whis-
tie; and throw stones at dog; to smoke cigar;
and to climb over garden fence
We will now 'Etack on" be following "sBARp
UN" from the pen of Rulwtr:
While young ladies are so seduously taught all
the accomplishments that husband disregards.
they are never taught the great one he would
prize.
They are taught to be EXHIBITORS; HE wants
COMPANION. He wants neither singing ami
NAL, nor drawing animal, nor a dancing ami
mall he wants talking animal But to talk
they are never taught; all they know is of SLAM
der, and that comes bynature.
While we about it, we may as well ego

Let your hair hang in superlluous ringlets
over you neck and shoulders; never suffer a ra-
zor to touch your face; squeeze yourself into a.
coat of mulberry cloth; put on a vest striped
with green, yellow and red; pants checked with
blue, crimson and purple; shove your feet into a
pair Of boots with heels at least three inches
high; bangle little black cane tipped with
brass; huge brass ring on your finger; and
you will be the lion of the day, and win the

VALUABLE IMPRovEMENTs-Av valuable addi-
ton to the science of optics has recently been
completed in London by E. Solomons, Optician
to the Royal Family, who has constructed Spec
tables from a valuable mineral. This is said to
be the only improvement effected in lenses for
the last twenty years. An English paper, mem
tioning this new discovery. says, "such specta-
cles surpass all others in modern use, being of
less specific gravity than glass or pebbles-are
not suliied by the aqueous exhalations of the
eyes-convey delightful GOODNESS to the organs
division when engaged in any minute employ
ment, either day or candle light; in fact, more
beneficial results will be realized from their
adoption, than can be imagined by those ,accus-
toned to use the common ones"
The same celebrated optician is the inventor
of a voice conductor for deaf persons, measuring
only one quarter OF an inch in diameter, which
proved wonderfully successful, and by which
the sounds of music, distant spe liking in church,
theatre, or public assembly, vibrate upon the
ear so pleasantly, as to produce immediate reliel
to all those laboring under the apparent loss of
hearing

SINGULAR ORIGIN OF FIRE.-Anthracite coal

upon them, but we regret TO say this is still out
OF ouI power; there are hardly any transactions
IN American securities, even in the most current
stocks, and as TO the introduction Of any new
stock IN the market, we should not consider it
either advisable or even eIeditable, nor can we
asyet foretell the period when material i'm

quentiy, IN making an advance, lock up our cap

COMPARATIVE VALUE OF ARTICLES USED AS

ton Of NJ. Dombasle's experiments with several
articles in feeding ANIMALS Seven lots of 7
sheep each were selected of nearly equal weight,
kept in separate divisions of the stable, the
weight of each lot ascertained once week-the
experiment continued five weeks Oxe of the
lots was fed exclusively on lucerne hay, of which
Each of the other lots received half the quantity
of lucerne, and enough of other kinds of food
named to keep them in good health, and of the
same weight. The kinds of food used were, dry
lucerne, oil cake, oats and barley, raw potatoes,
cooked potatoes, beats and carrots; of these sub
stances, the quantity found necessary to equal
the half ration, or Il pounds of lucerne, with

ordered out by the Governor OF MARYLAND under
the command OF Colonel THRUsTON, with in
structions TO proceed along the line of the canal
TO suppress riot, arrest rioters and to use all ne
cessary means for the preservation of the public
peace. Accordingly, about the both Of August,
COL IHRUsToN, aided by Col. HoLLING5woRTH,
commanding some 60 or so troops. and accom-
panied by Mr.. FISK, the Chief Engineer of the
Company, tosh up their march from Orleans to
the Tunnel, and IN the course of the march they
destroyed a number of shantees and shops, which
were indicated as being associated in some way
with the lawless condition of the place
Col. HoLLINGswoRTH was despatched by Col.
THRUSToN to the neighborhood Of the Tunnel,
where McLAUGHLIN's house was situated. and
under the advice and direction of Mr.. Fisk de-
stroyed number of barrels of whiskey and other
liquors, some twenty or thirty kegs of powder
and few boxes Of percussion caps. The other
articles contained in the store were then remoy
ed and the shantee tom down; the roof was taken
from an adjoining building Of similar structure.
occupied as a dwelling and warehouse by the
plaintiff, when he interposed, and promised if
the troops should be stayed in the work of de
struction, TO take down the building and remove
himself and the goods from the county The
orders were at once given to desist, and the
troops were marched off. So stand the facts of
the case, under view Of which the Court in
structed the jury that they were bound to find
damages for the plaintiff to the actual amount
of damages sustained, at least
The object of tha defendants counsel was
therefore only to produce testimony in mitiga
ton Of vindictive damages
To this end the riotoUs state of the line of fbe
Canal was proved; incidents were cited in evil
dence; one was ola German who had been en-
countered by party of IGishmen and beaten
until he was thoughtto be dead, and his body
thrown upon a fire to burn, whence If was drag
ged by his wretched wife. Another was. of a

With one of the riots mentioned in the course
of the trial, MCLAUGHLIN was implicated to a
certain extent; the evidence involved him in its
instigation for the purpose of avenging blow
which he bad received from a man named SmuI-
len; ne active overt participation, however, was
proved; an attempt was made to establish an
alibi in the plaintiffs favor, but it failed.
The house of MCLAUGHLIN was proved to be
a place of rendezvous for manv Of the disor-
derby spirits on the line; it was point which
individuals below feared TO pass to stores above
MCLAUGHLIN had also sold guns to his ''cus-
TONER'S" and the whiskey being regarded as
the melting cause to riot, and the powder as the
means of carrying out its deadly purpose, the
destruction of these articles was considered
necessary proceeding for the preservation of
the public peace. It is proper 10 observe that
there has been no riot on the line since that ex-
petition. which resulted in the capture of
great number of the rioters, some sixteen or
twenty ofwhom are at this time in the peniten-

The verdict is regarded, as it was intended
by the jury, TO be strictly confined to the
amount of actual damage-the testimony in
of the proceeding being considered
sufficient to forbid the finding Of vindictive
damages.
