Remarks Jv the Editor.


We really hope and believe our old friend Pau!
measures better than he argucs-lf not, there
will be famine one of these days, owing to the
inefficiency of our Grain Measuring. His de-
fence. above given, is so long as TO leave no room
for reply; but no matter, we Will rest on what
we have already offered II any body secs in the
foregoing any good reason for compelling all who
wish Grain measured to employ Mr.. Grout and
his deputies paving them seventyfivc cents for
every hundred bushels, while some other meas
urcr IN whom both the buyer and seller OF the
grain have full confidence, is willing to do the
work for half so much, and they anxious to en-
ploy him, why then such body will think the
argument is against us. But, after deciding that
so simple and easily understood process as
Grain.mcasuring requires to be performed by
public officer clothed with power to exclude
and punish all measurers who are not officers,
we would like to have that body tell US what
possible function connected with trade can safely
be performed ,r!thout public functionary 1t
does seem to Us that if ain-measuring requires
this compulsory exaction (and Mr.. Grout informs
us that his business is not reached by the general
repeal of compulsory inspections last winter
then we have not public officers enough IN our
City by at least forty thousand. There is GER
tainly more cheating in weighing pounds of tea,
butter, meat, &c. than IN measuring bushels OF
Grain. Are there not FIVE or six thousand pat
riots who would be willing to serve the public by
inspecting the weighing of retail groceries, at
$500 to 81 600 each per annum The Inspec-
tor Gencraship would be most arduous Cooking
on to see the Inspectors look on;) yet we think
some selfdenying, people-loving hero might be
induced to take it with s., 500 per annum.
Mr. Grout or we are all abroad about State Us.
City measuring. We care nothing whether the
officials arc appointed here or at Albany-one ap-
pears to US just as good as the other When we
said that the argument from Flour-inspecting TO
Grain.measuring was not in point we meant
that showing necessity for Flour-inspecting did
not prove a necessity for Grain measuring by
public officers exclusively, and so we presume
we were generally understood. We arc there still.
Mr.. Grout strangely mistakes our Constitutional
difficulty What we demur to is not the right of
the State to take away from the City the power
of appointing public measurers-to sustain which
he has brought up so formidable battery-we
doubt the right Of either State or City TO COM
pei an Ohio miller to have his Flour inspected in
passing through this City, or an Ohio farmer who
here sells to Yankee miller 10 pass his Grain
through Mr.. Grout's bushcl at Is cents per 100
bushels, while he and the buyer choose to en-
ploy another measurcr at half that price.-But
we have not room to argue this point or pursue
the general question.

Yesterday afternoon in front of the U. 5. Hotel
with DR.. Ransom's Hydraulic Engine which
proved emincntly successful. 1t was also tired
last week at the corner of Gold and Spruce-sts,
with similar success. There can now be hardly
reasonable doubt but it will supersede the use

FURTHER FROM MEylCo.-We gave in our last
a little news by the schr. Zeriah, which arrived
Yesterday from Laguna with dates to the 26th of
June. The following is a condensation OF let
ter dated June 9th at Laguna.
The town OF Laguna is thronged with Mexican
troops from Yucatan and the interior of Mexico.
Soldiers continue to arrive daily both by sea and
by land. There were on the above date over
10000 soldiers in the town, many Of whom are
suffering with sickness. The harbor is filed with
Mexican vessels of war; among which are the
Mexican steamers Gaudaloupe and Regenerador
both Of which came loaded with soldiers in a
sickiy condition. Business is very brisk in the
town; the soldiers had plenty of money and could
hardly have their wants supplied at any price.
The troops will no doubt remain at Laguna till
November which Will give good chance TO spe-
culatorS, If there are not too many Of them.
There have been no disturbances and it per-
fectly quiet al! over this part of the country. AT
Vera Cruz there had not been as many cases of
the Yellow Fever the past week as there were fos
two weeks before. Every precaution is taken to
Keep 1t Gown, and It appears with considerable
success for the first week in June it was doing
fearful ravages but now there is every reason to
suppose that they will soon be entirely clear OF IT.

tbs HUNTING ExrEprros.-The St. Louis
New Era brings the following disagreeable tidings
from Sir William Stewart'S party
Six more of the American Fur Company's boats
arrived at our levee yesterday afternoon iorty-ive
DAYS from the Yellow Stone, loaded with buffalo
robes, furs, &c. &c. Among the persons who
came down with these boats were several who left
this city with SIR William Drummond Stewart.
They describe the fahgues attending the cxpedi-
ton. and the overbeaying rudeness of Sir William.
as Insupportable. Thirteen of the company had
left hm at the South Forks of the Platte; and
many others were preparing to leave. Some of
the company had threatened to shoot him If he
persisted in his tyrannical course. The Indians
were manlfestng disposition to steal toe horses:
and as all but three or four of Sir Williams men
were green hands, some fears were entertained
that their efforts might be successful. A war
party of three hundred Ottoes, returning from an
expedition against the Pawnees, who had refused
TO fight them, were with Stewart when our IN
fornants left. All were in good health though
worn down with fatigue.

The Schools.

G-r If The Express thinks that American clti-
zeus who were admitted by Naturalization nave
not the same night to be heard in the manage
mont of our Schools as other citizens, why then we
differ on that point, that's all. A citizen IS a
citizen in our eyes, neither more nor less.
AS to the Express's assertion or presumption,
or whatever it pleascs to call it, that Universal
lists or any other body OF Christians, object to the
,se Of the whole Bible in Schools, but would ad-
NIT it if certain passages were stricken out, that
is a very grave mistake or very gross SANDER,
any how That persons may have objected to
certain passages of Scripture, torn from their con-
text, and entitled The Last Judgement &c.
&c, while they conscientiously believed those
passages were misnamed and misapplied, or OBJ
lected to such wholly uninspircd and unauthorized
headings being placed oyer pages and chapters,
is not at all improbabe--isit ii unreasonable But
this is very different thing from obccting to the
use of the Bible without note or comment, and
demanding that it be expungcd and mutllated to
suit their personal wishes.
We regret being constrained to believe that
very many prefer to keep the School Question
open as source of heart burning rather than en-
deayor to find some ground Of conciatlon on
which all may unite and become reconciled. 1t
can never be settled by the subsection OF any,
but by the substantial satisfaction of ali. We
cannot think the teach nothing system, as to Re
ligion, of the present law, will answer the pur-
pose. For our own part VIC would prefer that
the young be taught obedience to God according
to Church from which we differ somewhat than
not at all. In our early childhood, in sturdy
New Hampshire, the whole school used to be
drilled every Saturday afternoon in the West
minster) Assembly's Shorter Catechism, as 1t
was entitled, though you won't think it very short
if you are obliged to learn it. There are some
portions of that Catechism which we like better
than others, but what we learned Of it never hurt
us an atom, and we can confidently say the same
of many others. We do not think there IS
Church in our city whose teaching our youth their
relations to their Creator and their fellows would
not be decidedly better than none

TIE LAST LANsINGBuRGu FIRE.-This fire was
undoubtedly the work of an incendiary. 1t was
set in several places. The buildings destroyed
were as follows:
E. Parmelee's law Office; Nobe's hat store; "a
large wood building occupied by number of
families; Lamots hat store; McDonald's tailor
shop; Nichols grocery store; Ransom's barber
shop. Mr.. r. was burnt out By the last fire.
Lake & Warens rear buildings, built of wood.
were entirely consumed, with large quantity OF
liquors. The front building, of brick, nearly des-
troyed. ]. Cox, saddle and harness shop, and
buildings in rear. Total loss about $4,000

OF Lansingburgh this morning. A fellow, whose
name we could not get, has been arrested on sus-
pision and lodged IN Jail. Alb. D. ADV. 25th.

DAGuEnREoryrE.-The following suggestions
have been made to the American Institute by
Henry Meigs, Esq, one ofits members. If he is
correct this new discovery never become
available in obtaining exact likenesscs TO the ex-
tent we had hoped. Mr. NJ. states that accord
log to the laws of optics no exact likeness can be
obtained either larger smaller than the original
subject. As the rays of light conrsrge TO produce
the miniature those points which arc most promi-
rent will be unnaturaliy large, while those points
In the rear will be equally too small. This will
be seen strikingiy shownmal the ioreshortonings,
And In the nature of things this viii remain an
incurable defect, Equally so with an enlarged
likeness, except that the divergence of the rays
will produce an effect exactly opposite to that of
their conveyance. No Daguerreotype likeness
can be made except of the precise dimensions Of,
zae subject taken.
The pencil of the artist will therefore preserve
It's superiority for drawing well as color, in al
cases when the likeness shall be made larger or
smaller than the subject.
