ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATORY IN ALBANY
An astronomical observatory is to be erected in
the north part of Albany, on q spot of high
table land, which is to be connected with the
Albany University and be under the charge of
Professor Mitchell, the celebrated astronomer
Through the liberality of Mrs. Charles f. Dud-
ley, who gives $4,000 for the purpose, and
Stephen Van Rensselaer,, who gives the land,
the institution is enabled to erect the structure.
We are glad to see this; Albany is laying q
sure foundation for n good name. She is not
situated for much commerce, nor has she natu-
ral manufacturing resources; she can be lite
rary city, and wisely are her inhabitants using
their influence and means to make her one, but
she has much to do vet

The HUNGARIAN ExILEs.-A Scene on Board
the NiSsissippi-The scene on board the United
States frigatc Mississippi, when the illustrious
Kossuth, with his fellow exiles, came on board,
is represented to have been impressive in the
extreme. The officers of the ship, together
with the tender hearted Jack tars, Immediately
formed circle around the distinguished stran-
gers, not to cape and stare at them, but to show
by their looks, and their presence and emotion,
how heartfelt and warm was their welcome to
the protection Of the American republic. A
letter from Constantinople says:
With tears streaming down his eyes, and
intonatons of voice expressing the deepest
feeling, he uttered few sentiments announcing
his JOY at finding himself under the protection
of the glorious stripes and stars of the frecst
nation in the world Captain Long, who had
already addressed Gov. X. once on board the
Turkish frigate, began again to speak in an
swer, but his bosom swelled too much with
emotion. Tears stood in his eyes and in the
eyes of all the officers and men, and his speech
was limited to saying, Sir, you are welcome !
Sir, you are-three cheers for Gov. Kos
suth' When this order had been heartily re-
sponded to, still Captain Long, in his JOY and
sympathy, could add nothing better than Three
cheers more for Gov Kossuthn"
We are glad to learn that not only Kossuth
himself but his family, and indeed the whole
party, were in excellent health when last heard
from. Only one adult person had deceased
during their residence at Kutahia-Madame
Wagner, exhausted by her fatigues, exposures,
and alarms, during her two successive attempts
to rescue Madame Kossuth from the power of
Austria. There is no certainty as to the time
Kossuth may be looked for in this country
The Mississippi takes him to Southampton hrst,
but his stay in England is not likely to be very
prolonged lie may be looked for about the
middle Of November.

CONSUMPTION OF SMOKE AND SAVING OF FUEL
We find in the New York Tribune the following
account of the success of an invention of which
we have before made some mention 1t seems
to be particularly advantageous for furnaces in
cities
"We visited on Saturday the Chemical Works
of Aid. d. F. Tiemann & Son, Manhattanville,
to witness the operation Of Brokers' Improved
Furnace, in company with the Trustees agent,
J. Armory, esq, of Boston. Messrs. Tiemann
& Son have applied this invention to several
different boilers, so that it was burning anthra-
t-cite, bituminous QLiverpooD and semi-bitumin-
Gus (Dauphin) coal in the same establishment
| at once. In no case could particle of smoke
be seen to issue from the chimney; all was con-
sumed, and only transparent, incombustible
gases given off through the chimney, whether
high or low. BY this consumption of the smoke,
it is calculated that saving of sixteen per cent.
is effected, and as much more by retaining the
heat longer under the boiler and bringing the
great body of it more directly in contact there
with. This is effected by means of three or four
peculiarly constructed curved bridges or arches
erected at certain intervals across the space be-
meath the common cylindrical (or any otber)
boiler between the fire and the further end
each bridge or arch reaching to within three or
four inches of the boiler, and forcing all the heat
into immediate contact Herewith by the in
tense heat thus concentrated, the smoke, &C.,
being obliged to pass through these narrow
apertures, are consumed, leaving nothing but
incombustible gases to pass off and up the
chimney.
| "The chief Recommendations of this invention
are its simplicity and cheapness. II may be
applied to any boiler however odd or imperfect;
| and the poorer the boiler is the greater the
margin for saving No rcsetting is needed, and
the time required for making the application is
very short"

Clcrk kship of the House OF Representa-
ttyes.

Clcrkship OF the House OF Representa-
ttves.
Having quoted, at request, the article alluded
to in the following, we cannot refuse to give
place to this also, although we are of the opin-
ion that the subject will be as well attended to
by the House of Representatives without the
light elected by newspaper discussion:
"To the Editors of the Union: perceive the
question of the Clerkship to the House of Rep
resentatives of the Thirty-second Congress is
brought up in your paper of yesterday, by
strong eulogy on the present incumbent signed
'Justitia'
81 did not suppose the subject would have
been started quite so early and especially by
the friends of the incumbent. 1t is presumed he
so discharged his duties as that no member
could justly complain of his conduct, and there
fore he stood on vantage-ground, and might
afford to be silent until he should be assailed.
If, therefore, he exhibited the talents which are
ascribed to him, and performed the part of a
good Democratic office-h holder, he will have no
thing to fear in that searching operation which
all the applicants for future stations must un-
dergo. Public opinion points very clearly to a
thorough operation in the organization of the
Democratic party. Such one is called for by
prudence as well as justice and shall have
no objection to see the present incumbents
stand the test successfully.
I" In the meantime, however, it cannot be de-
MED that other persons have been considered
worthy of the important station named at the
head of this article, from their personal and
political merits. Among them are the Hon.
E. ID. Potter, late member of the House from
Ohio, and Col. John W. Forney, of Pcnnsylva-
mia. Both are so well known that it is not
necessary to specify their claims on the Demo
cratic party. They are talented, faithful, and
efficient, and would fill that office as well as any
Of its former incumbents.
"One reason for selection of one of those
gentlemen is, the glorious results of the cleo
tons in the States of Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Those States have great claims on the party /;
and this is an occasion where we can show our
appreciation of their merits.
"Another name l would present. but that
consider him likely to be presented for differ
ent station-I mean General Lane, of Indiana ;
Colonel Weller, also, of Ohio, has claims of the
highest order. Perhaps either of those gentle
men might be induced to accept, and the Dem
ocratic party could rely on their ability and
fidelity with perfect confidence. Either of them
would honor the station. Ono"
