The annual report Of the German Society, for the
sixtyscvenh year Of its existence ending February %
1851, has just been published 1t shows that in 1850
4oo'S German eugrants arrived at this port, in 497
ships while in the year 1919 there arrived 6l5 in lsl
Sgd; in lSiI. 10135; in 1876 52326 The decrease in
the number of emgra nts is owing partly the unsettled
state OF political affairs in Germany, and the circum-
stance that the laboring classes easily find
work in the manufacturing districts Of Sesa Westpha-
La and saAony but is expected that in the present
year emigration will again increase.
The emgrants who arrived in the Of last year
were, generally speaking content with the treatment

EoWefP AmerAe1-MovclnensI IN ConBre1s
In the United States Senate, on
Tuesday, Dec. 3lsi., Mr.. Winthrop
presented a petition from Edward
Everett, VIM. H. Prescott, Kulus
Choat, aud other distinguished cltI-
zens OF Massachusetts,. Mr.. W.
said:
The petitioners represent that an
embIematical statue o. "America"
has been modelled in clay by Mr..
Hiram Powers, a citizen Of the Uni.
ted States, for some years resident in
Italy. The petitioners say that Mr.,
Powers design has been TO produce
in marble an embodiment OF the idea
of free, popular, constitutional gov
eminent, in the person OF America,
represented as a youthful female oi
faultless beauty, in whose attitude
and expression, as well as in the ac-
cessories of the work, that idea
should be indicated according TO the
rules of the highest art. They also
say that the eminent talent of Mr..
Powers as a sculptor. is acknowled-
ged throughout Europe and America
that it is believed that no name
stands higher among living artists
and that he is himself under the i'm
preston. and competent judges con-
cur in the opinion, that this work is
his most successful effort.
The petitioners believe that Con-
gress would meet the wishes Of all
The enlightened friends of art, and oi
all patriotic citizens throughout the
Union, by procuring this statue to
be executed in marble of heroic size,
for the capitol of the United Statesi
and as the work Till be one requi.
ring the utmost exertion of the tai
ent of the artist, and the employ
ment of a considerable portion oi
his time for several years, they ven
ture to suggest to the wisdom Of
Congress the appropriation for this
purpose Of the same sum which was
appropriated for Mr.. Greenough's
statue OF Washington.
Mr.. President, it is well known
that the only American Artist who
has thus lar been employed to adorn
the grounds of the Capitol, and illus
trate our American history in marble,
was a New England Artist, Mr..
Horatio Greenough, from my own
State Of Massachusetts,, and city ol
Boston. Ii will be most agreeable
to the friends of that artist, and TO
the whole country, am sure, that
the great Scul ptor Of the West should
now receive the patronage Of the
Government, and be allowed to ex-
hibit his unsurpassed genius on the
same stage. The memorial is signed
but by few names, but | think the
Senate will agree, on examining
them, that they will bear TO be weigh
ed, if not counted.
The memorial was referred to the
Committee on the Library.

A New LIGHT.-The Scientific A.
merican has letter from George Cad.
wallader Blaney, Fort Washita, Arkan-
sas, stating that he has discovered, and
applied for patents in this country and
Europe. for a mode of making a cheap
and brilliant gas, produced upon a new
and scientific principle, which can be
obtained at cost less than one cent per
thousand feet. Mr.. BIaney says the
process will far surpass every other
means of producing gas extant; neither
will the material raise in value on ac-
count of an increased demand. During
the process, another article, more val
liable than the gas itself, is produced.
Neither IS there required, during the
operation, a single particle of wood,
coal, water, or vegetable matter, and
the material can be obtained in any
cline or place, however remote from
civilization,

THE RIVERS of Louisiana posse.

THE RIVERS of Louisiana possess
a peculiar object for sportsmen-the
shooting of aIligators. A New Or
leans paper states that on a recent
trip Of one of the steamboats, from
that city 10 Alexandria, in about one
hour, and in a run Of twenty miles,
three passengers killed fifty-hve alli-
gators. These creatures have been
driven out of the Mississippi river;
but the number does not seem to
diminish in Red River. Every boat
plying on that river carries guns and
ammunition, and the passengers and
officers amuse themselves in killing
these lizards. Thousands are an
nually destroyed; but the dismal re-
gion, extending from The mouth for
one hundred and fifty miles, furnish
es them retreats in which their
young are reared. They are as
abundant now as they were fifty
years ago. In Florida, they are
now extensively killed for their oil
and hides-the tough skin on their
belly is tanned and used for saddles,
An inexhaustible supply is annually
produced.

amusement, sediment, and comfort
OF babies. 1t consists of a swinging
cradle, which is made TO swing back

machinery is musical apparatus, by
which the tune most suited TO the

New-Kenr Day in Washington.
WASHINGTON, !
WEDNESDAY, Jan. /.

The Presidents Levee has been
unexcelled in brilliancy, and drew
together the prominent statesmen OF
all parties. A continuous throng
poured in from the opening to the
close, rendering entrance or egress
difficult. The Foreign Ministers, in
cluding Chevalier Huisemann, were
all present in full costume, with the
officers OF the Army and Navy,
headed by Scott and Stewart, in the
national uniforms. After paying
their respects to the President, the
crowd passed 10 the east room, where
Clay was saluted by every one, and
he returned their greetings affec-
tionately. The best order prevailed.
The Members of the Cabinet, Gen.
Scott, Col. Benton, and number OF
citizens, kept open houses. The day
seemed a national holiday, and, ex-
cepting the outrageous extortions of
hackmen, all were pleased with the
festivities.

Kanerha ma New Ysrk nnI,.

The steamer Hermann from Cin-
cinnati last week brought to this
market a small lot Of New York
salt. Ii is very handsome article,
and neatly packed in pretty barrels.
or the motives of the person or per-
sons who sent this salt here in the
present rather depressed condition Of
our great salt interest we shall say
Dothing. That our salt-manufactu-
rers here may not be discouraged,
but take fresh courage about the fu-
ture competition with the New York
manufacturers in the western mar
kets, we present to their considera-
ton the following account Of the
present condition Of the N. Y. works,
which is copied from the Syracuse
Journal Of the l4th ult:--Kan. Rep.
THE SALT BUSINESS OF WESTERN
NKw YoRK.-The manufacture Of
salt has nearly stopped, only two or
three blocks on the Reservation con-
tinuing, and they will be forced TO
stop, probably to-day, for want OF
water. The price OF salt, as pre-
sented in our market quotations. has,
since the first Of the month, advan-
ced from about SO cents TO 81 per
barrel, and further advance is con-
fidently expected. There must OF
necessity be further advance before
the manufacture is resumed in the
spring. The quantity made during
the past season has fallen far short Of
that Of last year. The difference
has been caused by the high price Of
wood and barrels and the extremely
low price commanded by the com.
modify during the whole season.
The amount now on hand is very
small, and that is in the hands Of a
few individuals. We know Of one
firm, who, when the price was at
the lowest figure, bought up large
quantity, and who now have stored
some fifty or sixty thousand barrels.
1t is the intention ofthis firm, (as also
Of others possessing small quantities,)
to keep this salt, which is by far the
largest amount in the hands Of any
individual or firm in our city, back
until it reaches the highest price,
which will probably occur just be-
fore the resumption of the manufac-
ture in April. We know Of others
who have only few thousand bar
rels in store. They will furnish the
demands Of the markets for several
months TO come, at the present, or
slight advance upon the present
price. As soon as these few thou
sand barrels have passed the market,
the larger quantities will be brought
upon it, and as salt must be had, the
price demanded will pc paid. The
business during the past season has
been carried on at a loss, but those
who now have any considerable
amount on hand, NAV in part retrieve
their bad fortune. 1t is believed that
the present stoppage Of four months
will pretty nearly rid the market Of
the commodity. and at the opening
Of the next season, give it such a
price as 10 make the manufacture
profitable, or at least more so than it
has been for several years past

plainant charges that no such transfer has been

William Burnet, in order to secure the same
from the payment Of the said complaiuant's
debt against the SAID William Burnet.
And said bill prays among other things that

fore whom and on what consideration, when

facts relating thereto, and that in the final
