MICS to the saving Of public building in
Paris. The walls of the building were
gradually separating and it became ques-
ton how they should be firmly restored
to their original position. Many plans
were suggested, but were impracticable,
At length an in individual, applying his
mechanical genius to the case, proposed
the simple plan of running huge bars of
iron from wall TO wall, and securing them
on the outside by nuts. Then applying
sufficient heat to the bars in the interior
of the building, on the common principle
that heat viii expand, the bars were elon-
gated and the nuts loosenod. Immediate

it collapsed, and the walls were drawn TO-
gethcr. Repeating the process proposed
by this mechanic sufficiently, the walls
were returned to their places, and made
firm as ever by the power that sustained
them. The work was thus accomplish

let Former Eol!ics be Forgot.
Let former folies be forgot
And never brought to mind,
When we in dissipation sought
For Joys we could not find.
Oar time, our talents, and our wealth
We've sacrificed to vine
We squande,ad happiness and wealth
In aud lang syne.
The voice ofconsciruce, too, was huahed:
That monitor divine
Was by load of follies crushed,
In aud lang syne.
We madIy broke the strongest ties
That round the heart can twinc;
Affections gifts we did not prize
In auld lang syne.
And in our madness we forgot
The claims OF Love divine:
The fond wils's tears we needed not,
In aud lang syne.
And home-thc good mans paradise,
Where all the virtues shine
Was filled with wrctchedness by vice,
In aud lang syne.
But tina, is past--sin's heavy yoke
Forever we resign,
And we will heal the hearts we broke
In aud lang sync.
And now again around our hearts
Shall Love his gurlanls Irvine;
The Wits bright smile, the children's mirll
Unknown in auld lang syNe.
Round US our little ones again
Their arms in toalness twine--
"Father, you did no, speak 50 plain
in aud lang sync.'

OUTBREAK.

Mob rule reigns again in our city!
Monday evening, the Miami Exporting
Company Bank assigned its effects, aud
on yesterday morning the Bank OF Gin
cinna,i closed doors.
Early in the morning the crowd, in
consequence of their failures, began to
collect around the doors Of these lDsiitu-
tions, and by IL o'clock had broken into
them, destroying all the moveable prop
erty and whatever of books OF papers
could be laid hold OF.
About this time te Of the city Guards,
headed by their brave Captain, Mitchell,
appeared, drove the rioters away, and, for
a time, CALAMITY maintained their posi-
ton. But they were called of. On re-
firing they were sssOiled; they fred, and
won0de some one or two persons.
The mob had with this exception un-
disputed possession Of the city, and com.
menced an attack first upon Bates Ex-
change Bank, and after that upon Lou,
gees Exchange Office, both of which
they destroyed, making Gsvoc of every
thing which was at all destructible.
Tho city council met at l2 O'clock.
Bnt they we're unable, as we learn, TO
pass an ordinance for the preservation OF
the public peace, eleven votes being ne
cessaty for this purpose, in consequence
of only eleven members being present,
and one Of that number voting against it.
All that could be done was then done,
viz: 10 pass an order apprOprating FIVE
hundred dollars 10 deiray expenses in en-
ploying an extra police.
The citizens organized at 4 O'Clock, and
put themselves in strong force near the
scene of the disorder. No further vo,
Ience has been committed, and we hope,
from appearances, at the time our paper
was put to press, that none will he at
tempted. The guard Of citizens was un-
der the direction Of Sheriff Avery, and
Marshall Satin.
The causes Of the public excitement
were great. 1t is enough to disturb any
people when men deliberately set to work
10 prey upon their necessities, and swim,
die the poor and tho needy omong them
out Of their honest means. BuI nothing

Representatives a copy Of the sixth CEN
Sus, accompanied by calculation for
the aPporIionment Of Representatives.
The calculation commences at the miio
Of fifty five thousand souls for Repre-.

two hundred and Seventy.6ve Represen.
tatiVes in Congress; Of which New York
would have forty. four; Pennsylvania thir-
iy.One; Ohio twenty.sevcn; Virginia
nineteen; and so down to Rhode Island,
Delaware and Arkansas, ono each. There
are seven tables Ofsuch calculations, as
cOnding in ratio by fiVc hundreds, until
they arrive al seventy thousand; which
gives two hundred and eighteen Repre-.
sentalives--and to New York thirty-rour:
Pennsylvania twenty four; Ohio twenty.
one; Virginia fifteen; Massachusetts,
Kentucky and Tennessee, ten each J.;
North Carolina and Indiana nine each /:
Georgia eight; Maine seven; Maryland,
South Carolina, Alabama and Illinois,
