THE PIzARRo AND CREoLE-Action Of The ". s.
Schooner Petrei.-We have been favored with the
perusal Of letter from officer board the sur
veying schooner Petrol, at Key West, dated May
22d, giving the particulars of the entrance Of the
Creole and Pizarro into that port and the communi
cation that took place between the Pizarro and the
Petrol, which has been alluded 10 in the accounts
we have already published. From this II appears
that Lieut.. Rodgers Of the Petrol, did furnish the
Pizarro with pilot, requested, but he left the
steamer, in his boat, and on returning stated that
when he told them 60 steer north wes they steered
north east, and that file Of soldiers stationed
on the quarter deck 10 shoot him. in case he should
run her on shoal. Under such circumstances, he
thought il best to leave, giving excuse that
he would return ON board the schooner, and that
the Pizarro could follow her through the channel
The Petrol then started through the channel, but
observing that the steamer did not follow, Lieut.
Rodgers lowered his boat, and proceeded on board
the Pizarro, volunteering his services 10 pilot them
in, which the commander, much to his SURPRISE
declined, and told him that he should report him
to our Government for preventing him from taking
pirate, and asked his name, whereupon Lieut..
Rodgers handed him his card, and returned to his
own vessel
This letter. in aluding TO the invasionists, says
they most intelligent men, far above the order
of which such an expedition might be supposed 10
be composed. baltimore Sun, May3l

Local Matters.

IMPORTANT INvENTIoN.-The official list of pa
tents for the present week, published in the Re
public Of the 30th instant contains account of
the grant of patent to C. Westbrook and Henry
J. Rogers, of Baltimore, Maryland, for an improve
ment in lectro-chemical telegraphs.
The claim in their patent very clearly expresses
the character of the invention. It is in the follow
ing words: f" What claim, and desire TO have
secured TO us by letters patent, isrecording tele
graphic signs on the surface of revolving metal
lie cylinder, plate, other equivalent surface, by
means of an acidulated liquid, saline solution, or
water, held between the point of the wire conduc
tor and the metallic surface, by means Of
conducting porous substance, contained in glass,
or other non-conducting reservoir, in which the
recording fluid is contained, to which the electric
current from battery is applied by means of any
of the known forms of manipulators and anvils
used for making and breaking the circuit; the re-
cording fluid being applied to the metallic record
ing surface, substantially in the manner herein
fully set forth, by which the of every descrip
ton of paper is dispensed with, thereby saving
great expense in telegraphing.'
This beautifully simple invention, which is now
in successful operation the several lines of the
American Telegraph Company, promises to super
sede the old systems of telegraphng in II dis
penses with the use of paper, and will not cost one
cent per day for the recording fluid.
The patent Is now in the hands of w. p. Elliott,
solicitor for patents, Washington, through whose
agency it obtained.

CONSEQUENCES OF THE arpUDLIc.I
BALTIMoRE, May 81.

BALTIMORE, May 81
The Wings, believe, have now selected nearly,
quite, all their delegates TO the Gubernatorial
convention which meets in Frederick city on Thurs
day next, 9th instant Among these delegates are
those who have particular favorites whom they
would desire to have nominated, but there is a
general desire to harmonic, and select whoever
may be believed the best man. Harmony in the
party will be binding, prominent feature of the
convention. The delegates from this city, be-
lieve, have preference for James A. Ridgely, but
this they will forego, if another candidate should
command more votes.
The Episcopal convention is still in session here,
and its proceedings have become more than usually
interesting.

To the Citizens OF Warrington.

FELLOW CITIZENS III am informed that at the
Navy Yard, and in other parts of the city, General
w EIGHTMAN IL represented being opposed To
" the te,,-hotu system" Positively knowing this
charge TO be untrue, volunteer TO contradict il in
the most emphatic manner for ! do know that
General Wcightman, so far from being i'm opposi-
ton TO " the ten hour system" was, in his own
tensive business, the first employer in this city who
gave practical effect to that system and that he
therefore, justly entitled TO all its merits it's
founder He in opposition TO il, indeed He the
destroyer of his own work
Twill give brief history of the fact allege, from
my personal knowledge When General Weight
man was doing the Congress printing some thirty
five years ago, he paid all his workmen dollar
extra per week, (abovo the ordinary wages,) which
was intended TO cover any extra hours OF service
performed; but upon representation being made to
him that at times, II was not enough, he at once
acceded to the demand, and gratutously allowed
the workmen seventeen cents per hour additional,
besides the extra dollar for all work done after usual
hours. He said ten hours day ,cas enough for any
10 toork, ,cho did his duty, unless paid ertrd
tcien extra service ,ods required.
This iberality (ustice should say) had never
been practised by the public other printers be-
fore, nor by any other craft or profession, as be
lieve. In fact General wcightman's liberality and
attention TO his workmcn grew into proverb, and
happy was he who got into his empoymcnt-as
every body said at that day, and of which there
many who can testify now
BY this act General Weightman set an honorable
and philantbrophic exampIe-and il was character
istic OF him as man who always felt lively re-
gard for the interest and welfare Of those about him
and in his employment
am confident this was bie beginning Of the ten
hour system in Washington in the winter Of lsl3-l4
IL was then but small spark, but II knded; and
though sometimes almost smothered, burned by
degrees, till has burst into flame Of intense light,
pervading every where, and enabling the working
man, in this land Of law and liberty at least TO pur
sue with leisure and profit his rightful path in all
the directions Of life. Honor" then, 'to whom
honor is DUE fellow citizens, and be sure at the
polls "to render unto Cesar the things that are
Caesars"
Hoping, gentlemen. that need make no apology
for my intrusion in endesvoringt 10 "rghta wrong"
alleged against one Of our most prominent and cs-
teemed citizens, who has always proven himself the
friend Of the mechanic and laboring interest,
remain, very respectfully, &c,

Dr. J. c. AyER-Deay SIR: Having been rescued
from a painful and dangerous disease by your med
icine gratitude prompts me to send you this
acknowledgement. not only in justice 70 you, but for
the information of others in like affection.
A slight cold upon the lungs, neglected at first,

cough and profuse night-sweat followed and fast
encd upon me. | became emacisted, could not
sleep, distressed by my cough, and pain
through my chest, and in short bad all the alarm

relieved and now has cured me.

MANyFAoTURE OF DIAMoNDs.-The Paris CORE
spondent of the London Times SAYS

MASyFAoTURE OF DIAMoNDs.--Thc Paris CORE
spondent Of the London Times says
'The scientific world has been in state Of com
motion during the whole week, in consequence Of
the publication of the discovery Of the long sought
for secret of the fusion and capitalization OF carbon
The Sorbonnc has been crowded for the last few
days to behold the result Of this discovery in the
shape of tolerably- diamond OF great lustrc,
which NJ. Desprczt, the happy discoverer, submits
10 the examination Of every chemist and sdudf who
chooses 10 visit him. He declares that 80 long ago
last autumn he had succeeded in producing the
diamond, but in such minute particles as TO be WISH
BILE only through the microscope, and, fearful OF
raising irony and suspicion he had kept the secret,
until, by dint Of repeated experiments and great
labor, he had completed the one he now offers to
public view. -Four solar lens, of immense power,
aided by the tremendous galvanic pile of the Sor-
bonnie have been the means of producing the result
now before us. M. Desprezt holds himself ready TO
display the experiment whenever it may be re-
CURED The diamond produced is of the quality
known in the East as the black diamond, one single
specimen ofwhich was sold by Prince Rostostoh 10
the late Duke of York, for the enormous sum OF
twelve thousand poundsl'
