ured thousand dollars could be realized annually in
this country, were the money order system carried
out upon the plan have proposed. i am induced
to believe this from the vast superiority in that
respect, which our country possesses over England
The whole number Of post offices there does not
exceed eighteen hundred; here it is over twenty
Thousand. There the currency Is good-here the
local currency s notoriously bad the value fuctus
ting in every state. There the population is con-
fined to very small area-here il is dispers sed over
vast territory, the people separated by long dis
tances, compelling them to use the mail. There
the people are not generally prosperous here,
consequently they do not meet those incidents and
emergencies in business which render the mail SER
vice auxiliary to their wants. There the newsps-
pers are extremely high in price, and few in
number--here they are exceedingly cheap, and cir
culated in countless thousands, Qor which the sub
scliItion price is principally forwarded by mail
In short, there is complete dssimlarity, all tend
irg to shew that for every dollar now sent
through money orders in Great Britain, at least
twenty dollars would be transmitted here, were
similar accommodation and security afforded.

may not at any time be oysrruIed by the omnip-
otence Of Parliament. To apply the doctrine Of
omnipotence to the Congress Of the United
States, would at once invalidate all the provis-
ions of the Constitution, and be equally fatal to
the rights OF the States, and the sectional mi
norities Of the people. The practice Of Amer
lean statesmen, in drawing almost all their pre-
cedents from the example of England, is there
fore, in my opinion, highly pernicious, since the
fundamental principles of the two governments,
though sup osed to be almost Identical are
radically and rreconcilably different.

Public Printing.

The Union charges us with throwing out
ungenerous inuendocs' "at time like this,
about the delay in public printing, because at
the request of several members of Congress, we
intimated, for the benefit Of those who were
waiting for the Patent Office Report, that il
would be ready : at no distant day.
The Union ought not TO complain of us, as
we have treated its printing affair with great for.
bearance. We have attended to topics of more
Importance
AS for the suggestion Of the Union that Con-
gress might have avoided the delay by accepting
the proposition made last session by the con.
tractor, it may he very correct If Congress
had made the contract more profitable than had
been before agreed on, of course there would
have been motive for more despatch in pocket
ing the profits.

Electro-BiolOKy.


The following notice of Mr. FIsKE's lectures
and experiments, is copied from the Museum, a
literary paper published in the city of Boston.
1t is from the pen OF Mrs. STEVENS.

Gust asking his pardon for percevng any like
ness in him to the aboye-named individually
must confess, that, although possessing as much
curiosity as the generality of my sex, found
sufficient material for wonder in the experiments
there performed, as we'll as sufficient mental
qualification, in listening TO the eloquent and
beautiful lecture preceding them MIR. Fiske is
bold and vigorous writer, and most agreeable
! speaker, and his present course of lectures, il
achieving no other good, will, to use hack
neyed term, add new laurel TO the wreath Of
fame already acquired. OF the experiments per-
formed, can only say that the influence he ex-
erted over his subjects, was so mysterious and
so far beyond my comprehension, that while
feel convinced of its reality, cannot wonder
there are so many scepucs, with regard to the
manner in which that influence is acquired 1t
must be a mind of mighty power indeed, which
can mould that Of a second party, to consist
ency with Its own and nothing but intense stedy

ect could have worked out the principles Of
such science.
Judging from the immense crowds that are
nightly seen vending their way to the Meo-
deon, and the full classes which, | am told, ore
under his instructions, for the purpose Of up-
raveng the witchery Of Electro-Biology, he
must be reaping good harvest for the years Of
toll and perplexity caused in attaining the knowl-
edge he now dispens es to others. IT'S true, he
does not profess to have been the discoverer of
the science he teaches-that is to say, not in its
full sense ; but while there are so many Chris
topher Columbuses, | see no reason why he
should not lay as much claim to that honor as
his ilustrious competitors. BE that as it may,
All evening cannot be more pleasantly employed
than in visit to the Meodeon, where, If the
lecture should fail of attraction, (and there is no
accounting for taste) there is sufficient mystery
to keep the mind in motion and give it desire
for deeper insight into the singular phenomena
which enables one intellect to govern another
to so complete and decided a degree.
