A Higpoo GEYIus.-A native of Calcutta,
by hereditary profession blacksmith, who
was employed for many years in cutting
punches for this press, having now little oc-
cupation, has adopted the following ingenious
mode Of obtaining hvelhood:--He has
manufactured an non press upon the model OF
one ofthose in use here and set up printing
Office, at which he has commenced printing
for the country at large. Last year he print
ed native almanac, Of superior character,
which had remarkable run. Soon after this
he began TO engraye on lead pictures of the
gods and goddesses Of the HiLdoo Pantheon,
Of which hundreds OF thousands were struck
off an inferior paper, and obtained ready
sale. Some Of them were afterwards adorned
by the art of the limner, and being set in frames
sold OF course for higher price. Hawkers
were employed in trayersing The country with
packs Of these NEUROLOGICAL prints, both on
account of our SerampoEe printer, and others
who soon found ii advantageous 10 initiate his
example in Calcutta. Hence there are few
villages TO be found in circle of many miles
around the country in which the cottage OF
perhaps the poorest individual is not supplied
with the veritabe eifigy of some one Of the
popular gods. The supply, however, soon
became too great for the demand, and his
competitors relinquished the trade, which has
since aDguished, and is now confined TO
very limited extent But his ingenuity was
not exhausted. He determined 70 print Eng
lish books for the numerous youths OF the poor
er classes, who are now endeayoring TO obtain
smattering OF our tongue, and Tor whom
even the low priced elementary works oil the
Calcutta School Book Society are too high.
OF these works, thousand Of pirated copies
have been printed in Calcutta, and dissent
mated through the country. But the indryld.
ual we allude 10, finding English type, at Sc
cond- hand, TOO dear for his purpose, has cut
a set of punches for himself, and cast the
types which he employs for this work. They
are entirely wanting in that beauty and exqui
site accuracy which characterize our English
types, but 10 an inexperienced eye the differ
ence between them aud letters east in Europe
or America would scarcely be apparent, and
to native, the lnferlority would be altogether
imperceptible. Thus furnished 5y his own
ingenuity with the whole apparatus Of iy-
biographical establishment, he is enabled 10
produce works al SO cheap arate, as complete
" to undersel the presses in Calcutta. The
native booksellers in that city, rising race,
though at present o. little note, are happy to
avail themselves of his labors, and purchase
edition after edition Of his cheap books. As
soon as educa on in the vernacular language
becomes the order of the day, il is By such
men and such means that books will be null
tplied. Capital will be poured in upon the
enterprise; the natives, who are acquainted
both with English and Bengaee, will find
it to their advantage 10 cater for the press, and
the means of improvement will be placed
within the reach Of the middling and lower
classes OF society -hldiass Paper.

LETrER rscA FArHEs MArHEw.-We
make the following extract from letter Of the
Rev. I. Mathew, which is published in the
Albany Journal:
CoRx, Slst March, lSi7.
"My Dearest Friend-The magnificent hu-
mainly evinced by our beloved brethren in the
States, for the suffering Irish, has inspired
every heart in this Island with ardent graft
tude.
I'VE shall ever regard America as our de-
liverer in the hour Of bitter:calamty. The i'm
mense supply Of Indian Corn, waited in the
Cove Of Cork, the last few days, and the free
gift cargoes daily expected has had an unex
pected effect on the corn market Maize
has fallen from $40 to fl0 the ton. In the
darkest hour calamity we should not despair
The mercies of the Lord are above all his won
drous works.
81 am resolved, God willing, to leave Ire
land for the States next summer. Ii shall be
my constant, anxious prayer, that the Lord
may remove every obstacle, and allow nae to
indulge this darling desire of my heart.
"As soon as the expected breadstutf vessels
will arrive in Cork, shall have the pleasure
ofwrlting TO you again, expressing my thanks"

A writer in the Enquirer warns the Young
SseW TO be careful how they unite with tie
Wing party in condemning the war with
Mexico, snd points TO the fate Of the men who
in 1912 opposed the war in order 10 alarm
them. He must suppose those whom he ad-
dresses 10 be very veTdant as well as resy
young, if he expects 10 succeed, by such a
ruse, in desaching them from the Wing ranks.
We have many ilius,rous examples now be-
fore our eyes, that even opposition to the JUST
impeachment 10 the attainment of the highest
political donors and distraction. James Buch-

and bitter reviler Of the Republican Admin
istration Of the virtuous Chief Magistrate in
pursuance OF whose Recommendation it was
eo'asiitusisnally declared by Congrsss-and he
is Mr.. Folks Secretary Of State! Roger b.

Justice Of the United States, by the appoint
ment Of the founder Of the Modern Democrat

and he has just returned from an embassy to
Greet Britain, to which Geo Bancroft, anoth-
er OF its opponents, has been sent as his sue
cessor; while Richard Rush, also an oppo-
men, Of the war, has been appointed Minister
