From Philadelphia Papers Of July 10 [

No RIoTs.-We deem it proper 10 repeat the re-
mark, which we have more than once made within
week, viz that all is peace, quiet, and perfect
der in Philadelphia. There is no symptoms in any
part Of our city, its districts, of disorder In
deed, "the riots" have not been in any business
part Of Philadelphia; and we may confidently as.
sure distant readers, Chose at home know it,)
that Philadelphia was never more quiet, and that
the channels and course Of business unob-
structed as ever they were. And we may add, al
so, that the pursued and being pursued, must
efpctuay guard from future outbreaks.
Hudson Greenleaf, young man, was arrested
yesterday and brought before Judge Jones, charged
with being engaged in the late riots of Southwark.
He was committed in default Of $4,000 bail, and
together with Two others, committed by Recorder
Vaux, was sent down to prison IN cab, escorted
by detachment of horse from Chester county

QUESTION OF ANNEXATION IN

To THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
In my message communicating the Treaty with
Texas, expressed the opinion that if Texas was
not now annexed, it was probable that the oppor-
tunity of annexing it to the United States would
be lost forever. Since then the subject has been
much agltated; and if an opinion may be formed
of the chief ground of the opposition 10 the treaty,
it is not that Texas ought not at some time or
other to be annexed, but that the present is the
proper time. II becomes, therefore, important, in
this view OF the subject, and Is alike due TO the
Senate and the country, that should furnish any
papers in my possession which may be calculated
to impress the Senate with the correctness of the
opinion expressed by me. With tins view, here
with transmit report from the Secretary OF State,
accompanied by various communications on the
subject. These communications are from private
sources; and it is to be remarked that resort must
in all such cases, be had chiefly to private sources
any Government, more especially if situated as
Texas is, would be inclined to develope to the
world its Interior line Of policy;
Among the extracts IS one from letter from
General Houston to General Andrew Jackson, to
which particularly invite your attention; and an
other from General Jackson TO gentleman of high
respectabillty, now Of this place. Considering that
General Jackson was placed IN a situation to hold

the private and confidential secretary Of President
Houston, (who, President Houston Informed Gen.
Jackson, "knows all his actions and understands
all his motives" and who was authorized to com
municate to General Jackson the views of the
policy entertained by the President Of Texas, as
well applicable to the present the FUTURE that the
declaration made by General Jackson in his letter,
:" that the present golden moment to obtain Texas

THE ILLUSTRATED WEEKLY HERALD.
A FOURTH EDITION REQUIRED
Wonderful Success Of Newspaper
T,itnrafuro.

Monday, we published third edition Of many
thousands of the Illustrated Weekly Herald, con-
tanning an account Of the riots in Philadelphia.
We have now printed fourth edition Of just as
many thousands, to supply the demand for the
Great Western" and packets yet to sail.
The manner in which this illustrated Weekly
Herald has been received by the public has asto-
mis- ed even us, who were long since prepared to
be astonlshed at nothing Many attempts have
been heretofore made to establish pictorial papers
in this city, but from their invariable want of suc-
cess, the poverty of the effort, want of talent and
genius in managing it, it was supposed that such
thing could not be made to succeed here. We
have shown, however, that such paper, if proper
ly got up, is certain Of receiving ample patronage
and support.
One of the most curious results Of the popularity
of this paper has been that's great proportion of the
recent sales have been amongst the Irish-the most
pious and determined followers of Bishop Hughes,
who bought the beautiful illustrated Herald in the
very face of his bull of communication against
all who would touch or look at the Herald.
We mean TO continue at proper intervals. and as
occasion may require, the publication of illustrated
Weekly Herahs. We have four or five artists al
most constantly in our employment; and we are
prepared to give graphic illustrations of the pro-
gress of society, and all important events in the
most expeditions, accurate, and graphic style. As
sooA as the excitement of these riots is over, we
shall enter on the work of illustrating the manner
in which the two great parties are conducting the
Presidential contest, by means of engravings, of
the beauty and excellence of which no one can
form any conception until they are published.

CURIOUS INSTINCT OF CHINESE AMI
MAILS

The beasts (the buffaloes) have an excessive
dislike to Europeans. and always either run away
from or attack them so that, on meeting buff
falo, there is always little agreeable doubt az to
which mode of showing it's displeasure it will
adopt, though, fortunately, it usually runs. away.
1t is ludcrous to see the despair Of Chinese boy,
who, when leading one of these brutes, secs an
European approaching. Fatal experiences has
taught him that a long chase is before him. After
a moments hesitation, and steady stare at u.s.
away goes the animal, helter-skelter, over fields
and swamps; and there is no help for this; be-
cause, if one we're induced to turn back, from
benevolent wish to allow the boy to proceed on
his way, the chances are, that the brute would be
after him in moment, and, instead Of being on
the horns of dilemma az he was before, he
would be upon the horns Of buffalo,. This dis
like ofthe buffalo to Europeans is participated in
by the Chinese dogs, but they are desperate cow
ards and, far from ever thinking Of attacking peo-
Pile, always make off as fast as their legs will
carry them. They are very ugly and wild-look-
ing, not unlike our shepherds dogs and are, from
their very cowardice, capital watch, or rather,
alarm dogs. They are sometimes brought up by
Europeans; and remarked, that in this case.
they transfer their dislike from foreigners to Chi
namen, and seem also to have gained little
courage by the change. - Letters from Hongkong:

DYING RICH.

The following lines, from the United States
Gazette, have the eloquence Of truth to recon-
mend them !: ah %ff E&e t1ssas8ifA
An active business man is rational man., and
blessing to the community. He keeps in graf
flying exercise the talents which God has given
him, which, Of itself, is a blessing to him. He
gives employment to the hand Of industry, which
is far better than giving aims to the unemployed.
These are the legitimate and rational end Of act
i've business pursuits and weath-getting the
qualification Of the active powers, and promotion
Of industry But the desire of growing rich,
merely to die rich, is one OF the most foolish lin-
tentons that ever entered the heart Of foolish
man, Experience has fully and emphatically
taught the lesson, that much wealth left to heirs
is eight times out of ten, not a blessing, but
curse. Its expectation beguiles the soul--spoils
all the manly powers. It's possession leads to
misudgment and excess, and finally, exhaustion
and ruin. The time will yet come, when men OF
wealth will be wise enough to make a gradual
disposition of their property while living--not
but operatye-and thereby have an
eye to the use which is made of it, and particle
pate in the greatest enjoyment that wealth is
capable Of giving-that of seeing it do good to
others. They will dismss the foolish aspiration
of "dying rch,' with the almost certain reflection
that their heirs, sooner or later, will die poor.

HOW SCHOLARS ARE MADE.

The Hon. Daniel Webster makes the following
pithy remark in relation 10 scholars ".Costly ar
paratus and splendid cabinets have no magical
power to make scholars. In all circumstances,
as man is, under God, the master Of his own
fortune, so ia he the maker Of hisfown mind. The
Creator has SO constituted the human intellect,
that it can grow only by its own action, and by
its own action it most certainly and necessarily
grows. Every man must, therefore, in an impor-
tant sense, educate himself His books and teacll-
ers are but helps; the work is his. A man is not
educated until he has the ability to summon, in
case Of emergency, all his mental power in vigor-
GUS exercise to effect his proposed object 1t is
not the man who has seen most, or who has read
most, who can do this; such an one is in danger
Of being borne down like beast Of burden, by
an overloaded mass Of other mems thoughts. Nor
is it the man who can boast merely Of native vi
gor and capacity. The greatest OF allwarriors
that went to the siege of Troy had the pre-emi-a
nence not because nature had given him the most
strength, and he carried the largest bow. but be-
cause self-dscipline taught him how to bend it."

INSTINCT. OF PLANTS.

X Observation shows that plants have hours de-
voted to rest, during which time they make little
or no progress in growth. Acurious proof OF this
statement was offered by an account Of the ex-
periments Of gentleman. who had an artificial
illumination kept up in his graperies throughout
the night, and where this was done the grape
rpened sooner by several weeks; but subsequent
accounts informed us that the vines thus stimulate
ed were much weakened. Some plants, like Gers
tain animals, have been ordained for night. and
these, accordingly, are active only during those
hours the ngRt-blowing Cerus is an example OF
this sort Others that flourish and increase du-
ring the day, close their flowers, and frequently
their leaves remaining inactive throughout the
night.-Magaz,ne Of Science. .fg n .a8nT ~
