A brig arrived at this port from Brc-
men, few days since, with a number Of
immigrants on board. \ deputy inspcc-
tor Immediately took charge of her, and
being ono OF the pipc-laycrs, he of course
went to work without delay to see what
he might steal. Finding that many of
the passengers had long purses filled with
foreign gold, he very kindly volunteered
TO get it changed for them, and accord.
ingly commenced converting their hard
money INTO rags-pockctlng the differ
cnco, and little more for his trouble
Before night several other deputies, hear
ing OF his good fortune, came down to
help him in the work of plumber, and Sc
bcsct the bcwildcrcd immigrants, with
their friendly offers TO change their spe-
Gle, that they stood fair chance of being
stripped of every dollar they owned.
Our reporter states tina, the pirates actual
ly deserted their posts all along the
wharveS, i'll their anxiety to get a share
OF the pckings, and would have stolen
the very boots off their victims feet, had
they not been driven away by the ''frst

especial prize This is no exaggcration.
We believe every word of it. There can
be no doubt that some of the new dcpu-

"THe U. s. Gorcrnment hare abolished the ten
hour system, Gdoptcd by NJ. Van BUcn, and cur
nowS THE WAGES OF LABoRoRs HARMON
TWENTY-FIVE CENTS PER DAYi This is the high
wages administration. Workingmcn, reflect on
these facts.-BostoH Post
Nothing can show more clearly the hostility of
the Webster dynasty to the laboring classes than
the above. The amount paid by government to
the workingmcn is small in comparison to that
paid to the officers and agents of the government.
and yet the latter receive large salaries with little
labor, while the former, by hard labor, can obtain
but Il bare subsistence. The reduction of their
wages, then, will only still more Cypress those
who are already sufficiently oppressed, while it
will make but rifing reduction in the expenses
of the nation. If the administration are really de-
sirous to economist, we think the reduction
should begin in the other quarter. There are
many offices which might easily be abolished, and
others of which the salaries might be reduced,
without any prejudice whatever to the public ser
vice, and with the only effect of reducing the
quantity of wine and cigars OF our official dandics.
But If the reduction OF the prices OF all the ne
ccssarics of life were really so great as to Justify
reduction OF Iaborors' wages that would afford no
excuse for aboshing the ten hour system. The
authority OF better judges in such matters than
Daniel Webster or "honcst" John Davis can be
cited to prove that laborurs will, ON the LONG
run, do US much work in ten hours n day as they
will in twelve, aud will do it much better. 1t is
even believed by many that if the hours OF labor
per day were reduced to eight, the amount of
work done would not be less. What than do our
rulers expect to gain by abolishing the ten hour
system 1t will certainly not tend to reduce the
price of labor. Il is a false species of economy
founded either on ignorance, or deep malignity
Of feeling towards the most valuable portion OF the
community.
II the workngmcn are aware Of the real value
Of the ten hour system, they will no, rclinQuish it,
even at the mandate of "thc powers that be" at
Washington. 1t took many years of hard work
to introduce il, and it would now--just when this
great reform is fairly accomplshcd-bc piece of
objectionable porldy against themselves to give
itup. lfthcy act like men, public opinion will
be awakened on the subject and they will have
an easy triumph; but ii they now submit, they,
and their descendants may have frequent occasion
to deplorc the abolition OF the ten hour system.

Ecariul Collision,

The terrifying collision which occurred at sea
short time since, between a Philadelphia ship
and another unknown, is thus described in the
Philadelphia North Americans
The packet ship Susquchanna, as she
lies near Walnut street wharf, is a curos-
ity. She has literally been rescued from
the jaws Of the great deep. She came in
collision with another ship off the banks
of Newfoundland, on the Sth inst. (May)
at o'clock in the morning. The night
was not dark, but the sea was running
high, and they did rot discover each other
until the fearful collision. The Susquc-
hanna's bowsprlt is taken off clean, and
the cut-water torn and wrenched from the
ship in way which shows the encounter
must have been tremendous. She was
running at the rate of nine knots, and
shipping seas constantly at the time.
The impression on board the SusQuchan-
ma is, that the blow was so hard and so
near the centre Of the other ship, that she
must have been totally disabled, if not
stove in, causing her to sink immc-
diately.
After the collision, she slowed round
and grated past the Susquehanna with
such rapIdity, that no opportunity was
given TO discover who she was or the eX-
tent of her iniurics,-Thc impression on
board is, that she was an East lndiaman,
or some ship of the largest class, and as
the cut-water of the Susquchanna is taken
off low down, she was upon the top of a
sea at the moment of the collision. Con-
scqucntly the other ship must have sut-
icrcd the more severely. No cries were
heard and in the confusion OF the crash,
and anxiety for self preservation, no dis
tinct knowledge of the character of the
other ship could be learned. The opm-
ion on board is, that the man at the wheel
of the ill-iatcd ship, must have boon Kill
led instantly. The whole of the painful

The steamship Prcsi,icnt--A Another "GIcnm
OF lsOpc.n

a letter from Montreal, dated the 22d May says
the n. y. Express, states that lumber vessel ar
rived at Quebec which sailed from Liverpool on
the 2lst of April. Her captain DUNN states
that, three or four days after, he saw Il steamer
which he knew to be the President, steering for
the Western Islands.
To this the n. Y. American adds-"By refer
ring to the Quebec paper we find that Captain
Dunn, OF the bark Chicioin, which arrived on
the 20lh, sailed from COrk tie Cd If ApnL and
not from Liverpool the 2!s,, as stated in the let

writer made mistake, aud that, instead Of sail

&c. in white cloth which he had with
him. After concluding his arrangements,
he was about to leave the store by door
which opens into an alley running by the
side of the store, and which he had prey
iously opened, when he perceived the
voung man, who had raised himself above
the boxes for the purpose of getting a
shot at the burglar. The robber immc-
diatclv fired, but fortunately missed his
mark. His fire was returned by MIR.
Taught, it is hoped with effect, as from
the fact that the white cloth was stained
with fresh blood, there is no doubt that
the man is wounded. He escaped, how
ever, leaving behind him his plumber and
his hat, in which is the name "Ihomas
| Butter, New Orleans" The hat was
made by Mr.. Bailey about three years
ago. The robhcr was a large man up
wards of siX feet in height, and now that
the public have a full description of his
person, they will no doubt soon render i;
good account Of him. Mr.. Taught is on
/ ly sixteen years Of age, and great crcdi
is due to him for his bravery in thi,
ailair.-Co'ricr g. Enquirer.

lated TO promote It's future prosperity. Sound
reasoning friend Journal! Now suppose the
contractors do abandon the work, remove from the
state, and then prosecute her FOR damages, will
1t be likely to result in advantage 10 the State; or
would it place the canal on 4 more permanent

ijcacy, any unprcjudiccl mind can easily decide.
When we say compromise with the contrac-
tors, VIC do not mean that they should receive
double price for their work Us a consideration for
that compromise but that they should receive
the same prices for their labor they did when
the State was able to pay her debts. Ii the State
has now suspended payment to the contra ctors,
and thereby Impoverished her creditors and her
citizens, is it Just that she should speculate and
profit on the sweat of those whom she has thus
oppressed and reduced to the verge of ruin We
think not! Soullcss banking institutions do this,
but Us yet no State has b,ca mean enough to
resort to this species of robbery and wholesale
plumber, and we hope that young Illinois will not
be the first to initiate the banks.
The contractors ask nothing more for their la
Dor on new contracts than they do for labor on
the old ones. They have invested large sums OF
