geStS the direction which might be given.
to part, or all of lhes sources of income,
when released from their present connec-
ton, 1t is believed that the annually ac-
cruIng interest on that portion Of the pres
ent school fund, loaned on private secutl-
ties, together with The annual income
from pedlar's licenses would be sufficient
for that purpose. We may thus institute
a system Of Supervision and Accounta-
bllity, which shall give concentration and
energy to the present efforts to raise the
standard, and multiply the facilities Of ed
ucation until the minds Of the mass Of our
childrcn--thc happy mingling of the poor
and the rich together shall feel its equal
lzlng and eleyatlng power. Thus, while
comforting substantial benefits on the pres
ent generation, we may send forward an
influence, which shall flow on, in contin~
uaIIy widening stream Of benefits and
blessings to the generations that shall sue
coed US 20 the end OF time.
Should it be found that no interest OF
of the present or Of future generations,
can be benefited by a continuance ofthe
State Indebtedness to the fund of which
have spoken, and the Indebtedness should
be cancelled, the State debt would then

EXTENSION OF FAyETrE-sT. The estimated
cost, in the Clipper of the 18th inst, of OPEN
ing Fayette-st. to Jones' Falls and building a
bridge to connect it with Pitt-st., at 1000,
IS probably several thousand dollars less than ii
ought to be. In building a bridge, the abut-
ment at the termination of Pitt-st. would OF
necessity be raised from five to six feet above
the present grade, and consequently require an
entire change in the grade of Pitt-st. from
Front-st: to the Falls. This change in the
grade OF Pitt-st. would interfere with the vest
ed righ hts of the owners of the property binding
on the street, it being already graded and
paved, and would most certainly be very niu-
rious to some of the property north of Pitt.st.
and binding on the Falls. If the street is
raised five Or six feet at the Falls, the proprie-
tors of the three lots north of Pitt-st. would
have to abandon the alley on the Falls, now

| the dining room, then raising the cups to Their
| lips, they bow themselves slowly to the ground
the lower the bow, the greater the comph-
meat.
This is repeated three, six or nine times, and
the drinkers are exceedingly careful to observe
the respective movements, until both finally
carry the cups to their lips, empty them entire
", and then turn them bottom upwards, to
show that they have drank the whole. They
then salute each other, and return TO their
places, and then commence new ceremonies, to
| know which of them shall he first seated, and
the discussion is not terminated until after ma
ny bows, and much hesitancy and scraping.-
The drinkers, at length, sit down at the same
| time.
AT the commencement of this ceremonial,
the two guests knock their glasses together
Sometimes they change them, after which they
proceed to their bowling and Frustrating them
selves.
Sometimes drinking is promoted by max
| ing the guests guess how many fingers one has
extended, ard those who guess wrong must
drink.
1t is true poiteness at the table to offer to
ones neighbor tt-bit from ones own plate;
and the neighbor must hasten to receive upon
his chop sticks the piece, before it can be laid
upon MS spoon, ana then lie presents piece IN

Between the services the guests walk about.
The second service usually begins with birds

variety of curious dishes; the be che de mere,
fishes, stomachs, are kept warm upon the table
by spirit lamps, and afterwards rice is served in
separate bowls for each guest. This rs served,
and the feast concluded.
The next day after the feast, the host hastens
to send again note on rose-colored paper to

press to them his regrets that he was not able to
entertain them in a style more worthy their
merits, The guests answer Immediately, and
express the very great pleasure which they had
at the dinner.

INTERESTING RACE AT SEA. We find in the
New York Herald, an interesting account of a
race upon the ocean, between the U. S. brig
Brainbrdge, and H. B. M. Brigantne Dol
phin, which is communicated in a letter from
Rio Janeiro
"On the 22d November, II. B. M. brigan-
tine Dolphin, sailed from Montevideo for Rio.
On the Gath the cambridge sailed-on the . It'll
the Dolphin was discovered on the lee quarter
The cambridge showed her colors and took in
topgallant sails and foresail, in order to allow
her to come up. When within short distance
of the cambridge, and not showing her colors,
sail was made, the wind being abaft the beam,
the Bainbridges worst point of sailing. By
the morning watch of the eth, (sea time) she
was hull down astern. On the afternoon of
the 28tb, the wind becoming light, she appear
ed to be gaining on the Bainbridge, with a
cloud OF sails set, she carrying square mainsail
as lower studding sail, Ga sail which this class
of vessels carry to overhaul slavers) On the
night of the 2Sth the wind freshened, and by
the morning watch, she was to leeward, and
nearly hull down astern. On the 29th she
was kept in the same position until the first
watch, when the wind became cloudy and
rainy, with a light breeze-she then came up
and passed ahead. During the third watch,
the breeze having freshened little, the Balm
bridge overhauled her fast. At 8 80, A. NJ,
the light at the entrance of Rio Harbor was
made. The Bainbridge being days, 9 hours
and 80 minutes from her anchorage off Monte
video TO the above light, distance of near
eleven hundred miles, which believe is the
shortest passage on record. in six hours after
wards, both vessels anchored in Rio Harbor,
the cambridge having beaten her two days on
the passage. The Dolphin has been consider
ed the fastest vessel, not only on this station,
been the terror of all slavers, and has taken
quite a number There is no doubt, but close
hauled on wind the cambridge would run her
hull down to leeward, in twelve hours, as this
is the Bainbridge's best point ofsailing.''

CHEAT PosTAGE-.Hteting in Ne,o York A
large meeting was held in the Merchants Ex-
change, New York, on Tuesday afternoon, to
memorabilia the House of Representatives in
favor of the passage Of tho Senate bill for re-
ducing the rates of postage. James Brown,
Esq, of the firm of Brown, Brothers & Co.,
presided, and addresses were delivered by
hlessrs' De Peyster, Ogden and Bates
Among the resolutions adopted were the fol-
lowing:
Resolved, That the experiment of cheap
postage has been so clearly proved and it's adj
vantages so clearly illustrated in the kingdom
OF Great Britain, that there can no longer be
doubt OF its necessity, utility and pfactica-
BILE adaptedness to the United States, and that
while the commercial, social, literary, moral
and religious advantages to the people are in
calcullble, the revenue of the Post Office un-
der the cheap system will in few years be
sufficient not only to support ITSELF but to cx-
tend the mail facilities throughout every por-
ton of our country.
Resolved, That we respectfully but earnest
ly recommend to the members of the House of
Representatives, to the Post Office Committee
and especially to the delegation from this CITY,
(the Hon. Messrs. Phoenix, Maclay, Leonard
and Fisk, to use their utmost endeavors to
effect the passage of the Senate bill for the re-
duction Of the rates of postage, without any
alteration or amendment, believing that should
it be returned TO the Senate, the shortness OF
the present session Of Congress will not allow
sufficient time for it to pass in that BODY
Resolved, That we view any attempt, at
this late period of the session, to substitute
any other bill in lieu of that passed by the Sc
nate, as likely to have tendency TO defeat the
great measure which has been so loudly called
for by the people.

The PRICE OF IRON IN ENGLAND. The Ship
ping & Merchants Gazette of the 10th ultimo,
which came by the late foreign arrival, men,
tons meeting which took place few days
before, in Birmingham, of the iron masters, at
which 1t was agreed to advance the price Il
per ton over the price of the last quarter The
Gazette says:
cat the last meeting, the leading masters in
South Slaffordshire reduced the price of e per
ton, contrary to the general expectation of the
trade, and no small surprise was felt at so ex-
traordlnary proceeding, as the demand was
then brisk, and no apparent necessity for the
reduction. Since then, however, the demand
has been extremely brisk; orders have come in
all directions, and the prospect of trade was de-
cared SO good to-day as to fully Justify rise of
u per ton over the price of last quarter The
demand for railroad iron is very considerable;
but the general improved state of trade is the
main cause of this favorable state of our sta
pie manufacture. The pigs are at from .e5 to
"a, bar from &c to &c IS. per ton"

They may not deem thee eir who court the blaze
That peases fools in proud and dazzling halls;
Yet, with glowing breast sing thy praise,
And bless the voice that blesses when i. calls.
Ine hand of time may wi;her with its touch,
And wntty age may fi,srow DER thy brow;
Vet, wild az was the love of youth-how much
Does not this yearning bosom owe thee now:
The young and houghtless seek the gay saloon,
Where music's strain inspires the boDnding heart;
Thine is the Joy 10 gaze upon the moon,
A type OF whose sweet gentleness thou art
Thy home $ thy paradise--tbere all the joys
That warm mothers heart are eluSter'd round
The merry hcartn-the laugh Of girls and boys.
The midnight prayer for those in sGmber bound.
Love knows no change, tho Time may steal away
the roseate smile th1t spread the lips of youth;
The love that lives while ebon locks turn gray,
Is love that learnt its infant vow from truth,
Then let lie's winter banch thy glossy tress,
Yet with my boyheod's love my heart will own
That still in age it seeks the swece excess
That made it spring in youth to thee alone.
