We copy the following sensible article from Hunts
Merchants Magazine for the present month;
THE VALUE OF A CLERKSHIP IN NEW YORK.
One of the editors of the Day Book, formerly a
practical merchant, and one who has had some eNpc-
Ticnce as merchants clerk, reads homiiy 10 young
men anxious TO 'get into business for themselves and
become rich, >" well worth remembering
There are but few clerks who have any idea of the
value Of a clerkship in a New y ork joDbing house.
Most of them look upon it worthless. as far as
mere salary is concerned and content themselves
with their situations only because they suppose that
in few years they will be able TO get into business
for themselves, and become rich, and be, IN mea-
sure compensated for their past services. There
are not probably, ten clerks in New York who think
they Az doing better on the small salary they are
receiving than they will do in business Tor them
selves. And there are ten who ever will do half
as well in business for themselves they doing
with their salary. During the last twelve years the
writer has been acquainted with more than four hun
bred dry goods clerks in this city; he cannot find ten
Of the number now in successful business. One IN
fifty is fair estimate of the number of clerks that
succeed in business for themselves. A clerk who
will commence a salary Of 5000 year at the age
Of twenty-one, with merchant having capital OF
00JO, and save out of his salary $500 year,
and lend it 10 his employer at per cent on his note
at six months-add the interest 10 the principal when
the note is paid-and lend it again. and SO receiving
his interest semi annually and reinvcsting twill
the age of forty, have possessed himself of all his
employers capital, and large share Of his profits.
With the exception Of the retail dry goods business,
there is not that holds out less encouragement
10 clerks than the iobbiug business. The salaries
OF the clerks all that there is about the bGSi-
ness worth having; and the clerks, a class, ct
than three-quarters Of all the money there is
made in the business. Country boys, who come to
New York TO get situations in stores, make very
great mistakes They had better learn trade, or
stick TO the farm. Most Of them too proud to be
tailors, carpenters, builders, or printers only
few will take situation in book store, music
store, or furniture store, any Of the various
featuring establishments about the city. Nothing
will do but wholesale dry goods store. Into these
they crowd year after year, where those who are
not ruined by dissipation, waste five or six years OF
their lives in learning business aud then return to
profitable employment in the country, or 90 to
California. The young man who goes into dry
goods store with any other view Of making money
than that Of saving it from his salary, makes mis-
take that will cost him the best part of lifetime TO
get over. Better learn a trade, boys, good deal.
You won't believe it now, but you will before you
are ten years older; then "'make note ont"

IMPORTANT VERDIcT.-Our readers doubtless
remember that while the Rev. alexander Camp
bell, President Of Bethany College, Va, was on n
tour through Scotland, in lS47, he was arrested
and imprisoned in Edinburgh, through the agency
of the Rev. James Robinson, for having while
dscoursing on the subject of slavery, uttered sem
timents obnoxious to that gentleman. The affair
produced considerable agitation in this country,
and IN some parts of Europe at the time Of its oc-
currence.
Af:er MIR. Campbell's release and return 10 this
country, some of his friends IN Scotland instituted
suit against Mr.. Robinson, upon the charge of
malignant persecution and false imprisonment of
Mr.. Campbell. This suit has recently terminal.
ed, and we learn from the Wheeling (Va.) Ga.
zette, that the result is decree of the Lords of
Council and Session in favor of Mr.. Campbell, for
two thousand pounds sterling, (equal TO ten thou
sand dollars neary,) and costs.

FOREIGN NEWS.

The mail of Thursday brings US further foreign
news, and we are much pleased to see that the
account of the defeat of the Hungarians, brought
by the Niagara. is not confirmed.
A difficulty had occurred in the Austrian Coun-
Gil, and great excitement was occasioned in con-
sequence of the Ro,hschiIds refusing to lend mo-
ney to Austria, except on condition that they make
peace with Hungary.
1t is said that Louis Napoleon is about TO appeal
to the French people to make him Dictator or En-
peror.

The austrian and Russian Bdr5arnies.-The
Ausrians and Russians still continue their most
infamous atrocities. IIaynau, as if desirous of
winning eternal infamy, is carrying out the bar
barous threat entertained in his last proclama tion.
He has burned down a town because the in ha BIZ
tanis did not give him friendly greeting. The
Russians have hung the Hungarian Bishop Popo-
vich and Haynau is laying the Jews under the
most oppressive eXactions. The Jews of Buda
have demanded that their property shall be valued
in order to prove that the contribution imposed on
them by General Haynau will absorb all they
have. They talk of emigrating to the United
States.

First IoUns in America.-It will seem curious
to those who are not aware of the fact, that the
first towns built by Europeans upon the American
continent were ST. Augustine, in East Florida,
and Santa Fe, the capital of New Mexico. The
river ella was explored before the Mississippi was
known, and gold was sought in California long ere
the hrst white man had endeavored to find home
upon the shores of New England. There are
doubtless trees standing within the fallen ruins of
ancient Panama, that had commenced 10 grow
when the sites of Boston and New York were CO.
vered with the primeval wilderness.

TIE Missouri Route.-A correspondent Of the
St. Louis Republican, writing from Fort Larimie,
under date of July lst, gives the mos, deporable
accounts of the sufferngs Of the emigrans OIL the
Northern route. After giving a long list Of the
names Of those who havo died, he says:
1t is not any approximation TO the exact num-
Der, but only such as were along the road side
together with few others which have been from
time TO time accidentally discovered in by places.
AT the upper crossing Of the South Platte, re-
manned three days, and found four graves but
since | left, am informed that eighteen are bu-
red together at about mile from the road, which
the passers-by will never see, unless they 90 off
to camp in that direction. During the time the
cholera was at its worst along the route the for
ward trains had swept all the pasturnge from near
the road, and the thousands of teams in the rear
had to 90 off somc two or three miles TO camp
and in hundreds oe out of the way Places graves
and graveyardS can be found, which, if the names
oil their tenants were arranged, would swell the
fatal list TO n melancholy SIZE
Scores have been passed which have no den.
tty placed over their mains, and have not been
enumerated in any catalogue. The graves that
saw had been dug up by tho wolves, the bodies
dragged 10 the surface, md the limbs and frac-
menls scattered all around.'

The Razlying Sign Of the HungariGns.-W Whom
danger menaces any of the Hungarian villages,
bloody sword is despatched TO the neighborng viii
lagos by swift-footed runner, who pronounces
the place of meeting, and hands it TO another who
in turn instantly starts for the next village, warn

fiery cross warned the clansmen Of Wick pine,
in the highlands of Scotland, as graphically de-
scribed in Scott's beautiful poem of the Lady of

Female Sailor.-A letter received in Nantucket

at Nantucket, as green hand, under the name
OF George Johnson, but who, upon her sex being
known, gave her name as Ann Johnson, daupbter
of George Johnson, living in Rochester, N. Y, at

pearance is said to be that of good looking bow
of Is or II years. She did her duty cheerfulv.

and has taken her regular mast-heads and helm

modestly kept herself pretty close in the cabin.

Determination Of the Longitude of Cambridge
Observatory from liverpool. readers may
perhaps recollect that some time ago it was an
nounced that an arrangement was in progress, by
which the difference Of the merdans of Cambridge
and Liverpool might be ascertained with great
precision by transporting in each of the Cuna rd
steamers 10 and from this port, large number of
chronometers, which should be carefully com.
pared by Messrs. Bond and Hartnup, tho directors
Of the Observatories at the two places. We un.
derstand that in pursuance Of this arrangement,
the first portion of the chronometers, forty eight in
number, were received here by the Hiberna, on
Thursday last and have been deposited at the
Observatory without accident. There is therefore
good reason to hope, that if there is uncertainty
of two seconds of time in the longitude of this city,
as has been asserted, it will be shortly removed.
