EXTENT or RAILWAY IN THE WoRLD.-It has
been estimated, by an English writer on the
subject that in the beginning Of l849, the total
length Of railway in operation in various parts
of the globe, was 656 miles, on which cap
ital Of G36S, ,567, 900 had been expended. AT
the same period there was in course Of con
struotion 1929 miles more the cost Of which
would be G146, 750,0 900. Ii is thence concluded
that the population Of Europe and the United

She sleeps beside thy waters,
Potomac-guard her rest,
Though the sadness of thy murmurs
Thrill no more her'gentle breast;
She's the pride of all thy borders,
And the worship of the poor,
But she sleeps beside thy waters,
And she'll never waken more.
The freshness of the spring-time
Breathes its fragrance in the wood,
And the blossoms and the young leaves
Now are leaning DER thy food;
Their perfume makes me lonely,
For it minds me Of the day
When we smoothed her grassy pillow,
On the opening morn of May.
And the Highlands of Potomac
Shall not echo to her tread,
For her football that was music
Now has gone down to the dead
And the wellknown voice, SO welcome,
Lightly ringing long thy shore,
Is as silent as thy cavcrns-
Twill be heard on earth no more!
".
OH l love thee, bright Potomac!
For the treasures thou dost hold,
More kindred to the bosom
Than the oceans wealth Of gold;
For the DoLDEsT and the FAIREsT
Sleep their last sleep on thy sod,
And thy children are untrammelled
As the firstcreatc of God.

The FIRST PRINTED BooK.-It is n remarka-
Bile and most interesting fact, that the very
first use to which the discovery of printing was
applied was the production Of the Holy Bible
This was accomplished at Mentz, between the
years 1850 and 1856. Gutenberg was the in
ventor, and Faust, goldsmith, furnished the
necessary funds. Had it been single page or
even an entire sheet, which was then produced,
there might have been less occasion to have no
ticed it. but there was something in the whole
character of the affair which, if not unprece-
dented, rendered it singular in the usual cur
rent of human events. This Bible was in two
folio volumes, which have been justly praised
for the strength and beauty Of the paper the
exactness Of the register, and the lustre of the
ink The work contained twelve hundred and
eighty-two pages and being the first ever
printed, Of course involved long period OF
time and an immense amount of mental, man
ual, and mechanical labor; and yet, for q long
time after it had been finished and offered for
sale, not a single human being, save the artists
themselves, knew how il had been accomplished.
OF the first printed Bible, eighteen copies are
known to be in existence, four Of which are
printed on yellum. Two Of these are in Eng
land, one being in the Greenyille collection;
one is in the Royal Library Of Berlin, and one
in the Royal Library of Paris. OF the fourteen
remaining copies, ten are in England-there
being a copy in the libraries Of Oxford, Edin-
burgh and London and seven in the collections
of different nobemen.
The vellum copy has been sold as high as
81 300.
Thus, as if to mark the noblest purpose to
which the art would ever be applied, the first
book printed with movable metal types was the
Bible.

BRITISH CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEoUER.-
The Charleston Is. c. Evening News of the
18th, in commenting upon the then recently
received news from England, makes the follow
ing apt remarks:
q 1t is the fate Of most State financiers to be
solely perplexed to Supply deficiency; but the
destiny of the late British Chancellor Of the
Exchequer has been sad one, for he has met
political destruction from not knowing how to
dispose of a surplus. 1t is, we believe, the
first case on record that such a result has fol-
lowed the production of budget in the Eng
lish House of Commons, as that the Finance
Minister having nearly three millions sterling
excess Of income over expenditure, and propos-
ing q nearly equivalent reduction of taxation,
has been thus doomed. When William Pitt
heaped burden on burden, he did not diminish
in the least his popularity. When Sir Robert
Peel, in anticipation Of deficiency, imposed an
income tax, he was judged the most sagacious of
financiers; but when his successor in the same
Office proposes to pay off some Of the national
debt, besides lifting the odious window tax, he
is badgered in Parliament and out of it. I'm
fortunate destiny of Finance Minister! If he
relieves the poor from an impost which shuts
out the air and light of heaven, he becomes, in
despite Of this boon, unpopular, because he does
not reduce tne uuty on IeaS. III ne RENTS a
duty on Stamps, he is baited because he does
not give up the excise on Soap. Each class
and interest clamors for exemption from public
burdens, and the poor Chancellor, who comes
exultingly into the peoples House with sur
plus, is voted blunderer because he does not
distribute his modicum Of abridged impost over
a thousand objects Of taxation. Thus, to take
off taxes in England is more puzzling than to
put them on. To be n British Chancellor of the
Exchequer is to encounter political death under
plethora Of income, and yet he may live
through all opposition when in peace continuing
the fiscal burthens Of war. Sir Charles Wood
breaks down in one case, and Sir Robert Peel
is canonized in the other"
