A Distinguished Visitor.

General Bertrand, one Of Napoleon's Mar
shas Of The Empire, is now making the tour Of
the United States. During his journey 10 the
Soulh West, he was ihe guest Of Gen. Jackson,
a, the Hermsge. and Henry Clay at Ashland.
He is al present enjoying the hospl,ahties Of
che people of New York, and will soon proceed
10 Washington, where he expects TO arrive
abou, the opening of Congress. Gen. Bertrand
is now quite an old saan, and has been SOL
dier from his youth. Before the name of Ma
poleon was heard Of, he was solder of France,
and afterwards became part of his dynasty
He followed The conqusring hero through all
his wars; and after his defeat at Waterloo,
went with him 10 ST. Helena, and voluntarily
shared his exile. From first TO last, in pros
perity and adversely, he manifested the mos.
unfal,ering affection for his Emperor; and new
er left him till death closed hrs mighty career.
Such entire devotion, has seldom been witness
ed; and clearly proves that Gen. Bertrand pos
sesses noble heart. We are glad TO see that
wherever he goes. our counrrymen receive him
with open.handed, and warm-hear,ed, hospital
ily and kindness.

A Remarkable T.ock

A very ingeniously con,rived lock an. os
the most remarkable inventions of the d,v
vas exhibited at the Fair of the Americas H. ,
sliiu,e in New York. 1t is called a permu..
tion lock, invented by Mr.. Newell, and made
by Francis B. Pye, who was engaged nearly
one year on the work. The lock contains 81.
teen chaDgeable tumblers, and Is susceptible of
one billion three hundred and seven thousand
six hundred and seyeniy-four millions, ,hre.
hundred and sixty-eigh, thousand changes. Il,
would take man, allowing him to make one
change every Two minutes, and calling ten hour,
a day, ihirteen millions, nine hundred and
twen,y.four years, one hundred and sevenly
seven days, three and half hours, TO 20
through them all. The changes are affected IN
the following manner; The key is altered by
,ransposing certain Of lis parts, and every time
a change is made in the key, correspondlns
change is made in the lock. Thus a new lock
may be made each time il is locked; and
person may have new lock- every day of hi,
life, and his children after him, to within few
years of the end of lime. The obiec, Of these
changes is to make false key useless, a, The
chances are irillon 10 one that the rogue
will not hit upon the right arrangement! They
canno. be picked by any instrument. The in.
venlOr himself cannot pick it. though he has
hitherto picked every lock ha, has been hTough.
10 him. This lock has been in use among The
banks about three years. 1t is sold al from
$3.50 TO $500.

exercised. In our opposition, we feel CERTAIN

Mr. Adams.

The Hon. John Quincy Adams me. his con-
sti,uenls of the eighth Massachusetts Congress
sional district on The morning Of Tuesday, 24Ih
insl., al Dedham. He was welcomed win
great enthusiasm. and, upon his entering The
church, an ode prepared for the occasion, en-
titled Welcome to John Quincy Adams" was
sung by the Assembly. His address, occupied
three hours in delivery. He dlscoursed Chief
ly on the subject Of slavery, the rights OF pe'l-
iion, and against the annexation of Texas. He
aimed to show that the free labor of the North
was taxed to support the claims Of the slave
labor of the South that all the evils we labor
under were caused by the fact that the North
was represented by freemen, and the South by
slaves. He was in excellent healih-read hi,
notes without spectacles-and remarked thai
he would leave home on Thursday TO attend to
laying the Corner Stone of the Cincinnal As
Economical Observatory. Mr.. Adams returned
home, and received Marshal Bertrand early IN
the afternoon, both passing the remainder OF
the day together al the mansion of the Ex-
President.

Canal Commissi oners.

nF We are astonished TO hear that during
the Iale election, no tickets were printed, and
circulated for The Whig candidates for Canal
Commissioners, in The County of Monroe
Horrisburg Telegraph.
Your information is wrong, Mr.. Telegraph,
as faz as The priat,ng Of the tickets 60. We
printed sufficient number to supply Monroe
and Pike counties, on our own responsibility,
several weeks before the election;-but as we
were 100 poor TO 60 to the expense Of taking
them 10 The different Polls, and as nobody else
could be induced TO do so, they were not circx.
loted in many OF the townships. The conse.
quence was, that our Candidates received but
about one hundred votes in Monroe, whilst in
Pike, they received no, half so many. Al
eral of the unsupplied Polls, some good-natured
friends wrole few, which were voied;-bul
IN the other townships, The written, were as
scarce The printed ones. We have every
reason TO believe, that if the two counties had
been properly canvassed. and attended 10, the
nlaioriIy against US would have been consider.
ably smaller than heretofore. But we have nc
party organization here; and unless we receive
some aid, from our political brethren in olhel
parts of the State, ii is no. likely we soon vii
have.
