 iA PamRhAtetb8Gies have been recovered, among the victims who are supposed to have Perished at the late fire in New York. The body of MT. Cow Grey. the fireman. has not been found. InsFeaklng of the subject, the Tribune remarks:
 ~The workmen in the ruins found another skel- etoA yesterday morning, under 42 Broad. street. but so charred and wasted that any thing like rec- ogntion is entirely out of the question: It IS ap- palling to look at the immense area covered by the ruins, to the depth of from three 10 fifteen feet which is being trampTed into a solid mass, by the tread of the thousands who still throng there-and to think how many human forms may lie buried beneath. How many, will never be known in this ! world"

 Lynn--The Boston Transcript says-There is trouble among the journeyman shoe-n,akcrs in this town. A large meeting held in front of the ] Bank to interchange views in relation to their grievances, and to devise means to better their | condition. speech was read by of the number from cart, by candle-light All went off quietly and orderly.

Payne. who introduces himself 10 people a teacher of music, and says moreover. he is grad ua,e of Yale College. There is no particular harm in the yourg man, except that he has an unpleasant habit of running in debt, and then walking out of town to visit his friends, with a most lordly indifference as to whether hls creditors l ever get their dues or not. He did" the Tele- graph out of printing bill, and the Hotel keeper also mourns his der arure.

 The most useful enp1oy,nent.-A distinguish ed writer has declared, that mankind might do. without physicians, if they would observe the. laws of health; without soldiers, if they would observe the laws of Christianity without lawyers 1 if they would keep their tempers and observe the Golden Rule; and perhaps without preachers, if each one would take care of his own conscience {; but in no contingency, is it possible 10 do wtln ut Farmers. We would ask, of what avail are all these declarations. without printer to dissem- nate them?
 Artificial .4,m.--Mr. Phelps, of this city known as an ingenious constructor of trussses, abdominal supporters, and other useful apparatus, completed an artificial arm last week for lady in Mancr which is an admirable substitute for the lost mem- ber He took cast, in plaster, of the limb oi tho left side, and then matched it in wood. The el- bow works 1 ghttully, the wrist has both fexa- ton and rotation, and all the fingers, and even the thumb, which has the true ball and socket joint !, are so akllnlly made, that when gloved, no gentle man who permitted to take her arm under his own, would mistrust it was a wooden one.- Nearly half the arm, from the shoulder down, was preserved for stump, which slips into socket, and the whole is made fast and kept in place by att tachments to thoracic belt, analogous to common stays. By the stump, any direction the lady choc- ses can be given to u extremity but the fexion and extension is adroitly brought about by the oth CT hand.
 We regard the contrivance in the light of very valuable a7pendage. isince symmetry is preserved, and the lady can carry an indispensable as grace fully on the tip of one of her second crop of in- gers, as she ever dangled it on one of the old ones While viewing with astonishment the beauty and perfection ot this specimen ot Mir.
