Chicken Hatehing-some en,erpris;ng

Chicken Hatehing.-Some enterprising persons in Brooklyn, New York, have es- tablished an Instiution in that city, for the purpose of matching chickens on large scale, which is dignifed with the name of Polotokion. ltcomprses five or six long buildings, and several acres of land.
 They have a similar affair in England, call cd the Eccallebeion, which is in successful operation, and turns out one hundred chick ems day. The practice has long prevailed ill Egypt, and has recently been introduced into France. Beaumur. we believe, first suc- ceeded in raising chickens by means of the common oven. The modern apparatus con sists of a series of 1ues supplied vith hot water. 4 good deal of care is necessary in raising the yo;aigSsers, as they do not prove very healthy. It is said they have to be taken care of by the old hens, for at least month after they are matched.

Ciiy and Country Ladies-City ladies boast of being more delicate than country maidcns. The one breathes an air polluted with many thousand bwaths-the other in- hales tho breeze freshened over the new mown hay. The one drinks water from the sewer-mingling pump, or through impure pipes from the open horse pond--the other pours it from the pure spring. The one walks over the hard pavements, along the dusty piles of bricks-the other trips over the soft green, along the graceful rows of trees. The one is pale and sickly, from watching at the evening concert-the other is ruddy and healthy, from rising with the morning birds. The one is the lily of the green-house--sh other is the rose beside the stone wall In the city is seen and admired the handiwork of man-in the country are traced and hale lowed, the stateiy trappihgs of the Almighty.

Sergeant Joseph Smiih, of Ipswitch.-
 sslhe sergeant's continuance ill the army was
 Tor the whole duration of the war. At the
 very first exhibition of American courage
 which proved so fatal to the British troops in
 their excursion 10 Lexington and Concord,
 Sergeant Smith showed himself skilul
 marksman. Learning frola the runor, which
 seemed to have spread that night with speed
 almost miraculous, the destination of the de-
 tachment, he arose from his bed, equipped himself with cartridges and famous rifle he had used at LoyeIl's fight at F'ryeburg, sad- died his horse and started for Lexington
 meeting house. Meeting with d variety of
 hmdranees, and twice escaping narrowly
 from some struggling parties of the red coats, II was late when he arrived on the ground, and the troops were already on their rapid retreat toward Boston. Learning that the people were all abroad, lining the fences and woods to keep up the fire upon the enemy, he started in pursuit, and i'll the course of few miles, on riding up hill, he found the detachment just before him. Throwing the relns upon the horse and starting him to full speed, he rode within close rifle shot, and fired at one of the leading officers. The of fieer fell; and the sergeant, retreating to a safe distance, loaded his rifle again, and again rode up and fired, with equal success He pursued the same course d third time, when the leader of the retreating body ordered platoon to fire upon him. It was unavaline, however, and a fourth, fifth, and sixth time the old rifle had picked of it's man, while its owner retreated in safety. sD-n the man ? exclaimed the officer, give me musket, and l'll see if he bears charmed life if he comes ill sight againp It was but moment, and again the old white horse came over the brow of hill The officer fired, but in vain and before the smoke of his charge had cleared away, he too had fallen before the unerring and was Jeff behind by his flying troops. When the day had closed, the wound ed were collected by the neighbors upon the road, and every kindness rendered to them. The officer was not dead, and on being laid upon bed where his wounds could be ex- amined, his first question, even under the ap- prehension of immediate death, was, " Who was that old fellow on the white horse p

chants, would be one dollar and twenty
cents each.
But let US follow one of The most i'm
portant Articles of domestic use, through
all the steps to the consumer. The Or
binary calico, which is used, more or
less, by half the females in the country,
can be brough to the custemhouse for
about eight centsa yard. The first du-
tv Of the collector, under this tariff, is
then to consider each yard as costing
thirty cents. For each yard he then ex-
acts duty of thirty per cent. This du-
ty is nine cents. Add it to the actual
cost Of eight cents, and the expense to
the importer, thus far, is seventeen
cents. On this, he charges profit of
about twenty per cent. which makes the
price to the retail merchant mot consid-
ering the jobber) twenty cents yard.
On this. the retail merchant charges a.
profit of about thirty-three and third
per cent. and the article goes into the
hands OF the poor woman at cost of
twenty-scven cents yard. Ihe natu-
raj price. with fair profits to the mer-
chant, would have been eleven cents a
yard. Let us follow this little farther.
Eight Or ten yards are necessary for the
dress of a female. Under <the operation
of the tari!as.. eight yards would cost two
dollars and sixteen cents; .under free
trade, eight yards would cost eighty-eight
cents. The trimmings and the making
OF the dress are 10 be added before the
calico is of any use. There are some
millions of females in this country who
labor for wages, and whose. wages are
one and two dollars week. It would
require the work OF month for such
person to obtain the cheapest calico dress.

these same Wings dared us to meet
them. They got up the issue of ''Moncy
or money" We met them at Philippe.
although they then amused the magma
ton with magnificent promise of 2, or
8, or even 100000 per annum. They
were beaten last Spring, upon this insId-
ious issue-and the Legislature dared
not violate the virtual instructions of
their constituents. And now, when this
migty sum dwindes down to thirty
en- thousand doltars-when the question
really is, t'Sha! we sell our. bfth:-right
fer mess ofpottage?" are prepared
again to meet them on the hastings, and
defy their clamor. We trust, that@the
! measures taken by the late Legislature.

the Democratic Delegates cf Haiifax-
and the appointment Of an agent to claim
at the hands Of Congress the sum of S62,
COO, which Virginia has paid out OF her
Treasury, upon Revolutionary claims,
will succeed and give some relief, with
less comrunction along with it, than
these $S7, 900.
With these general views, we submit
the transactions of the last Legislature
to the impartial. judgment of the people.
For one, we say, if they are doomed to
punishment, we are willing to share it
with them. They are entitled to our
thanks, and not to public censure.-
They had great difficulties to contend
Sith-and. first of all, their own great
strength-the.r own majority OF 40
but, though tempted by prosperity. they
haven abused it. No party ever ex-
ercised their power more moderately
few more wisely. They have filed an
impoverished Treasury the
honor of the State--arrested those en-
pirical schemes of pretended relief, WHICH
would only have augmented the dlstreses'
Of the people. They have upheld. by
their manly resolutions, the ancien. Sta
ties Rights principles of Virginia. Ihey
have organized the Congressional Dis
tricts. upon liberal principles--for, in
spite ofthe gerrymandering murmers Of
the Wings, they could carry six or seven
districts, according to their own STAN
dard Of the election of 1840--and now
they are actually boasting of carrying
other districts, in the very face of their
own complaints.

From the New York Evening Post.
OPERATION OF THE TARIFF.

The natural operation of every tariff
is to raise the price of every article on
which a duty is imposed to sum equal
to the natural or free trade price and the
duty. If this has not been the case un-
der the present tariff, no persons have
been more soreiy disappointed than the
Wings who lmposet:|t. 1t was what they
designed to accomplish by the law, and
also promised to do. If the prices of ar
tlcles on which duties are imposed by
the present tariff have not risen to the
sum of the natural price, and the duty,
at least, it is because some distinct in
fiuences have been in operation TO pre-
vent it, such as d slut in the markets,
scarcity ct money, or great indebtedness
among consumers. BE. So soon as the
casual influences are removed, and the
present tariff has the full effect for which
it was designed, we shall see The change
in prices, and feel the soreness Of the
burden imposed upon us. TO kno ". then
thestr@e nature OF the tariff. every sound
mind would Judge Of it according toits
natural operation, unaffected by tempo
rarv causes. .- T. -
We stated that the operation OF the
tariff was to raise the cost Of an article
to the consumer, to sum equal to the
natural price and the duty. 1t does far
more than this. The wholesale and the
retail dealer each exact profit on the
duty itself as advanced by them. the one

reaches the consumer. Suppose the cost
OF dozen earteen plates imported from;
abroad to be, when they reach the col
ector of the duties, forty-lour cents
He exacts for them duty of thirteen
and one-hfth cents, which raises the cost
OF them to the importer of fi!;y-seven
and one.iifth cents; upon this cost the
importer charges the retailer an advance
OF ABOUT twenty per cent when makes
the price to the retailer slXty-elsht cents
and some fractions; on this cost the re.
taller charges the consumer an advance
OF about thirty-three and a third per cent
which makes the cost to the consumer
nirety-one cents. The natural price Of
