The TEN-THoUsANBTH OF CHICKERING'S
PIANos.-There was received last week at
Philadelphia, from Boston, the ten thousandth
Piano from the factory of Mr. Chickering. 1t
was completed on New Years day. The
Philadelphia Bulletin says Mr.. Chickering
commenced the manufacture of Pianos just
thirty years ago. From small beginning he
has gradually extended his establishment,
until he is now turning out at the rate Of
twenty instruments per week. In thirty
years, leaving out Sundays and holidays,
there are $500 working days; SO that there
has been, during this period, an average of
considerably more than one Piano per day
The present AVERAGES over thousand year,
or more than three day. We doubt wheth-
er there is an establishment in the world, ex-
cept, perhaps: Broadwood's, in London, that
has made ten thousand Pianos; and we are
quite confident that there is not one, except
Mr.. Chickering's, that makes twenty in a
week.

FEMALE CouRTsHIP IN RoME.-The wom-
en- of Rome know nothing of those restraints
which delicacy, modesty, and virtue impose
upon the sex in northern Europe. A Roman
lady VINO takes liking TO foreigner, does
not cast her eyes down when he looks at her,
but fixes them upon him long, and with evl-
dent pleasure. She will say, without cere-
mony, to friend of the young man, Tell
that gentleman like him." 1.-THE man of
her choice feels the like sentiment, he asks,
" Are you fond of me 2" she replies with the
utmost frankness, Yes. my dear. !" The
happy medium between American and Ro-
man courtship appears to US the best We
hate excessive coyness, but do not like too
much familiarity.

Henry Clay.

The sage of Ashland is again in the coun-
ellis of the nation. The Washington cores
pondent OF the Louisville Courier, thus speaks
of his speech on Austria:
WASHINGTON, Jan. Z, 1850.
w. N. HALDEMAN-
Dear Sir:-The debate in the Senate was
continued throughout the day, upon the reso-
luton of Gen. Cass, proposing to suspend all
diplomatic intercourse with Austria. After
Mr. Hale had concluded very sensible
speech against the propriety of the measure
proposed, Mr.. Clay took the floor and occupi-
ed it until the Senate adjourned. To Ken
lucky it was proud day. Again the pre-
eminenee of her gifted orator was acknowl-
edged on all hands, and his equal, il was con-
ceded. was not to be found in our day or gen.
Grafton. He spoke as only Henry Clay can
speak, and led captive the hearts and the
| judgments of all who listened to his words of
wisdom and the sound of his melodious voice.
As soon as it was whispered in the Hall OF
the House of Representatives that the states
man of Kentucky was addressing the Senate,
general rush was made for that chamber,
notwithstanding an exciting balloting was
progressing for the election of Clerk.
In sympathy for the Hungarians he went
dS ldF DIS TIC ldi tbCSI DuI dClCu Lbdt tA-O plO-
position of Gen. Cass was either prudent OF
proper. The appointment of Charge, he
insisted, was not made as mark of respect
| for the government to which such Charge
was accredited, but from motives of interest
on cur own part, having for its object the pro-
lection of our great commercial interests
Mr.. Clay preferred at all time substance to
shadows, and maintained that if the sympa-
thy for the oppressed Hungarians really ex-
listed 10 the extent insisted upon by Gen. Cas-:
he could propose a method for the exhibition
of that sympathy Of a more substantial anC
acceptable character to the Hungarians thar
anything that could be accomplished by the
adoption of the resolution ander considera-
ton. That substitute was simply this: t.
adopt some certain method Of seeking out the
refugees from Austrian and Russian barbarity
in whatever foreign cline they had sough
Temporary shelter, and to provide the mean;
to convey them to our hospitable shore, anC
TO secure to them, when reaching here, {
home for themselves and their families. Thii
would be testimonial of our sympathy o
which as people, we might we'll feel proud
and the influences of which would be fal
more saIutary thar anything that sould &C
complished by the resolution, even if carried
into operation. Of the improperly of adopt
ling the precedent that would be set in th
instance, Mr.. Clay was unusually clear anC
forcible so much so, that had the vote fol
lowed on the close of his splendid effort,
doubt whether it would have received doz
en- votes in the Senate.

BIGoTs AND FANATIcs.-From what we
understand, the Editor Of the Advertiser must
be of the opinion that the great majority Of
the citizens of Evansville are bigots and ia
natics, as on Tuesday he accused all those Of
being such who would not take the Adver-
tiser. He viii find his paper killed off one Of
these days, by this same bigotry and fanata-
cism, as it is existing TO an alarming extent,
SO far as taking the Advertiser is concerned.
He will find it a poor game to attempt to
whip Wings into taking his paper by calling
them when they decline, blgots and fanatics.

mr. Brown. the esdOne Brown.

The Advertiser still has the brass, not to
defend Brown, but to approve of Browns &C
ton in trucking to Free Sellers and Southern
men at the same time, to obtain the Speaker
ship. We congratulate Mr.. Brown on hav-
ing one Democratic press in the whole State
of Indiana, happy inapproving of his course.
Thrust be source of great qualification to
him, when the Democratic papers in north
ern and southern States are pouring it into
him for his disgraceful conduct in attempting
to secure the position of Speaker, and when
even his own State appears to regard him in
his true character, as cringing, w;re-work-
ing, contemplate demagogue-to feel that he
has yet one apologist left, one.right-bowe to
the hand of which he is knave, one news
paper which in defiance ofpublIc opinion, and
we might say of public decency, can defend
VIM. J. Brown. The political character Of
Brown is known over the State, as that of a
man who will truckle and fawn to any party
or set of men who have UOteS, who will make
any pledges do anything in fact, to secure
personal popularity. He is demdgogue in
the worst expression of the word. He show
ed his demagogue spirit in its choicest phases
in his desperate endeavor to get the Speaker
ship. He truckled TO both Free Sellers and
Shareholders, and was fortunately exposed in
both maneuvres. IL the halls of Congress
he was denounced by members of both par
ties He was disgraced, politically kill
ed, and finally in his last card, he signifies
the same, by saying he would never again be
a candidate of his party. Heaven save us +!
Probably he intends Stinsonizing-changin
his politics. The treatment of his own party
press would certainly urge him to do some
thing desperate.
And yet the Advertiser has the impudence
to expect, or to pretend as if it expected JUS to
apologize to Brown for doing him Justice
When his own personal and political friends
desert him for his course, and expose his shame
publicly and privately,the Advertiser expects
an apology from US, for candidly stating our
views. Next thing Stinson will be demand
ing an apology for himself! Gen. Bayley
said in Congress that the success of Browns
plot, would have covered gentlemen on his
side of the House with ''load of obliquy''
and Gen. Bayley is a Democrat. Mr..
Burt said it would have been an insult" to
ask his vote for Mr.. Brown, if he had been
aware of Browns position. And they but
represented the feelings of the other Demo
Gratis in the House, at the disgraceful plot
ting'g Of Brown. He was condemned by his
own party, and yet our course is spoken of as
"ungenerous and foul, and the Advertiser is
astonished we have not apologized for it
We expect to give him still further room fol
establishment ere we have done with some
subjects.

CHEAP PosTAGE.-Ina well written article
on this subject, the New York Journal Of
Commerce says:
"We believe that the more the subject of
cheap postage is considered, the more appar-
rent will be its desirableness, and that the
truest policy requires the lowest rate that
may be practicable. The commercial, social,
and civil interests ofthe country alike demand
it.
In land like this, cheap postage is essen
tial to its civil welfare; and will be more
and more SO, in the progress Of its settlement

from the other.n

Death of RensseIaer Van Ren.selaer

Death of Rensselaer, Van Rensselaer,.
RENSSELAER, VAN RENSSELAER, died at
his residence in this city on Tuesday, 1st in
slant. under circumstances peculiarly dis
tressing.
Mr. V. r. and his family were invited to
spend the New Year at the house of neigh
Dor. Mrs. Van Rensselaer, and her father,
Major Forman, complied with the the invita-
ton, leaving Mr.. V. r. at home, who said he
felt somewhat unwell and that if he improv-
ed he would call over in the afternoon and
spend portion of the day with them.
In the afternoon. the deceased called the
hired man into the house, and ordered him to
fill the portable furnace with charcoal, fire it,
and place it in room occupied as a library
and sitting room. The request was complied
with. Sometime after this, the deceased or
dered charcoal to be put in the furnace, soon
after which he himself went in. carrying with
him still more charcoal. Nothing more was
thought of the matter by the hired man or
servant girl until late in the afternoon, when
one of them had occasion to enter the room.
and saw Mr.V. r. lying upon the sofa death
ly pale. 1t was at once discovered that he
was lifeless. The fumes of the charcoal he'd
produced nausea, and he had vomited copi-
ously several times. 1t is not probable that
he long survived the effects of the charcoal
after he entered the room. These, we be-
lieve, are all the facts Immediately connected
with this distressing affair.
General Van Rensselaer,, by which title the
deceased was commonly known, was the son
of the veteran General Van Rensselaer, of
Albany, and son-in-law of Maj S. S. Forman
of this city.

PRINCETON PLANK RoAD.-A bill has pass
ed the Senate, Incorporating the Ohio river
and Princeton Plank Road. While this road
will be of great benefit to Princeton and thai
portion of the country traversed by it, wedc
not think it will interfere at all with the
Railroad. On the contrary there is no doubt
in our mind, but that it will assist in building
up the business of the Railroad.

~ AM DONEn--Brown.

Mr.. William ]. Brown, the Locofoco pro-
slavery member from Indiana, whom the Free
Soil leaders in Congress attempted to make
Speaker by co-alescng with Southern Loco
focoism has published his last "Card" in the
Indiana State Sentinel. This Mr.. Brown is
the same man whose votes are recorded in
favor of Texas annexation, for sitting debate
and rejecting petitions. for smothering reso-
buttons inquiring into the propriety of abol-
ishing slavery in the District of Columbia,
and against extending the Proviso over the
new Territories, the same man, who, as As
sstant Post Master, removed hundreds of
deputies, because they were in favor of slave
restriction and yet the same, whom Gid
Idings, Allen and other Free Soil traffickers
voted for as Speaker
But it seems that poor Mr.. Brown has lost
cast with his ancient allies-the slave extern
sionists-as well as become politically degrad.
ed in the estimation of all honorable men,
and he therefore seeks for mercy and forgiv-
ness at the hands of his constituents, by as
sailing his recent associates, the Southern
Locofocos.
In his last card, he talks ike a prosecuted
int of Free Soilism-he says g the time has
come when the Nerth will no longer bow the
neck to the Slaveocracy of the SOUTH
| That 8 if YOU doubt or falter, you are de-
nounced as traitor, and with lordly arro-
gance you are told that they will dissolve the
Union"

Brown, he says, has FULLY determined me
