On no country more than our own have the
charms OF nature been prodigaly lavished her

several sums of money mailed in this city, and in
other offices, for places beyond Philadelphia with
in few months past never reached their proper
destination. The Department at Washington hav-

doped to ascertain the reason, and suspicion has
finally led to the arrest Of Thos ] Houeh, late a
clerk in the Phila. office. He had a hearing yes
terday before the U. S. Commissioner in that CITY
On charge Of embezzling money from letters, and
was committed for further hearing before the
District Court to day. -Ne,oark Dahl.

CAPT. Harris New BoAr.-Some months
since this gentleman was on a visit to our town,
and we understood at that time that he was
making arrangements to bring a new steam
boat into the New Orleans and Bayou Sara
trade. In the Cincinnati Journal Of Commerce
of July 4, we find the following description Of
this boat, which certainly places her ahead OF
all other steamers ever seen in these waters;
Ne,v Steamboat-Capt. Jesse Hart, one OF
the most distinguished steamboat captains in
tho lower trade, has contracted for a most mag
nidcent boat to be bnilt here, at a cost of $780,
600. She is intended for the New Orleans
and Bayou Sara trade, where the Brilliant made
such successful series of seasons for Captain
Hart. 50.
NJ The new boat is to have two engines larger
than those of the Peytona, with Is feet stroke.
She is to be 23O feet On deck, 36 feet beam,
and = feet hold. Her cabin alone will cost
over $1,000. Capt. Hart is determined that
she shall be unsurpassed in speed or magnifi-
cence. There is every reason to believe that
this new boat of Capt. Harris will take them
all, for style, furniture, speed and accommoda'
tons. @ s4-

considered-it is the companion Of our youth
and the solace Of old age. Possessed of this
valuable jewel, we find as it were a world of
pleasure within ourselves, without necessarily
becoming dependent on the will of society for
our enjoyments. l therefore, Mr.. Editor, feel
a lively interest in all institutions whose prima-
ry object is to diffuse and impart knowledge to
the human family.
1t is well known that Mrs. VAN NooTEN, the
Principal of our Seminary, entered upon her
ardnous duty to re-establish the reputation of
an institution which the vile breath of popular
sentiment had nearly crushed to the earth
She had not only to contend against the obsti-
nate ideas entertained by many, that the pre-
cious gems of educational accomplishments
were gathered from abroad only, but to con-
vince them that the same can be as effectually
obtained at home. Parents are now convinced
that they have in their midst, an institution Of
learning of which they may we'll boast and be
proud of, and it only requires their patronage
and support to render it one Of the best in the
Southern country.
The building is large and commodious, stu
ated in one Of the most beautiful localities of
our town, and possesses superior advantages.
The teachers have proved themselves able
and competent; and l must add, that the Prin-
cipal is acknowledge to be unquestionably a
lady of great talent and rare accomplishments F.;
and from her high reputation abroad, as a
teacher, has certainly claim to the patronage
and support of an intelligent community like
this. From the success she has already met
with, she will be able in a short time to boast
Of an institution unequalled by any in the
South. May prosperity and success attend
her efforts. YORK.
