SPEED OF STEAM-PowER.-We find the fol-

SPEED OF STEAM-PowER.-We find the fol-
lowing in the Philadelphia Ledger:
"The speed of steamboats, is o frequent sub
ject for boastful paragraph, but locomotives
sometimes run ahead Of every thing. The
ninety-fve miles between Utica and Albany was
run on Tuesday, with heavy express train, in
two hours and thirty four minutes, by the Utica
and Schenectady, and Albany and Schenectady
Railroad Companies. This included two stops
on the Utica road, and a change of engine and
baggage at Schenectady"
We would here remark that Professor Pages
first experiments in electromagnetic propul-
sion are certainly far more successful than
were the earlier experiments in steamboat
navigation; and that hence, without other data,
we have good grounds for the hope that even
steam-power, with its 95 miles in 154 minutes,
will, ere long, be accounted tedious and expen-
sive locomotion.

The comforting Of benefits is sure road to favor.
We have been shoWn a rare curiosity.
Are the above phrases correct? They occur
every day in the newspapers, and in nearly all
of them. The word comforting is transitive,
and must have its noun in the objective case.
Whence, then, the off "We have been shown
is not meant by the writer's, or they would
sometimes write, "We have been exhibited. "
Unto us has been shown, is what is meant
and if this is too formal, another shape had
better be given to the expression, and "a rare
curiosity has been shown [unto] u.s. should be
written.

CoLD-BLooDED AoT.-In Columbus, Ohio, on
the Goth, a person got possession of one of the
late Governor Bebb's blank acquisitions for fu.
gitives and filed it up, for piece of sport, and
directed it to Thomas Spencer, q well-known
cattle-dealer. This enraged Spencer, and some
one, to carry on the joke, told him that it was
done by George Parcels, the barkeeper of the
Franklin. He Immediately went to where Par
cells was, and demanded Of him if he had " filled
up that paper?" Mr.. Parcels, in q jocular way,
answered eyes," and was about passing out OF
q door, when Spencer drew o revolver and shot
him dead

poIrrrcAL IsronMArIos.--The Nsr YORK

PoLITIcAL IsFoRMAuoS.--The New York
Herald, of Saturday last, says:
"a new paper, called the Telegraph, has been
started in Washington, for the purpose Of sup
porting Tom Corwin, Secretary Of the Treasury,
as candidate for the Presidency, at the next
election"
And again:
eve have already seen new paper started
at Washington-the Tslegraph-and now it has
raised Tom Corwin's name for President"
The New York Herald is always particular in
its statements of facts never either laundering or
disappearing any body; and it therefore will
not do for us to gainsay any thing that it says.
With such aid as that journal and we can give
our mutual friend Mr.. Corwin-called "Tom"
by us, his familiars, of course-he will no doubt
60 into the Presidency with the velocity of
steam locomotive. We shall see him about the
matter, and learn whether he will accept the
Office. Bennett has put the devil into our heads,
and we must needs enter the field of politics at
once. Il.

In the Gentlemens sitting-room at Wizards
Hotel, we notice two very fine Autographs of
the town and bay of Monterey, in California.
One Of them is view from the rear of the
town, looking out upon the bay; and the other,
from across the bay in front of the town. The
residences Of prominent citizens, the forts,
churches, &c., &c., are all clearly given. In
the bay, vessels of various kinds are anchored,
boatmen are fighting their way through the
surf, and even whales are seen sporting among
the breakers. Any one who has read the vivid
description of this place by r. H. Dana, jr., in
his 1.-TWO Years before the Mast" will find sat
isfaction in looking at these pictures.

PROFESSOR MoRsE.-The King Of Prussia
has rewarded this gentleman with the gold
medal for scientific merit, which he has en-
closed to him in gold snuff-box of great
beauty, in acknowledgment of his success in
perfecting his Electro-Magnetic Telegraph,
which is pronounced by his majestys commits
sioner, after comparison and experiment, to be
the most efficient of any in the world for great
distances. Mr.. Morse is no doubt electrified
by this honor, and his rich presents are not to
be sneezed at.

Communication.

The HoLBRooK SYsTEM.-Training of the
moral faculties is the prominent feature of the
system of improvement widely extended by Mr.
Josiah Holbrook, in this and other countries
and recently recommended to the special atten-
ton of the public by Senators, Judges, and
various other national functionaries. The sys-
tenn is experimental, working, and Of course
productive throughout. Practical science chris
tan morals, and productive industry, each in
aid of the other two, are aimed at in every step
and every movement on every subject. Such
motives, thus combined, constitute powerful
springs Of human action, affording high enjoy
ment by producing an abundance of rich fruit.
Facts will best illustrate. Some four years
since, the New York public schools, at the sug-
gestion Of Mr.. Holbrook, introduced practical,
working exercises for the benefit Of others.
Specimens Of drawing, writing, and other works
of art, thus produced in New York and else
where, have since been sent to all parts of this
country, and to some parts of all countries, or
nearly so. In distributing these specimens, the
"powers that be" have lent their aid, cheer
fully, gladly, extensively. The President of
the United States acknowledged, with evident
satisfaction, the reception of specimens of ge-
ology, drawing, writing, and mechanism, or
practical geometry, produced by the schools of
New York and Washington, and remarked that
he should take great pleasure in exhibiting them
to his visiters. More than hundred members
of Congress, in similar Acknowledgements, have
expressed great pleasure in an opportunity to
distribute the seeds of science thus furnished
them, again to be cultivated and scattered by
the young hands Of their respective districts
and States. A circuit judge of the courts of
Tennessee remarked, in q letter on the subject,
that he should take great pleasure in using his
influence on the bench, in the social circle, and
through the public journals, for scattering the
seeds of science thus produced. A foreign
minister, on receiving specimens, remarked, 81
shall earnestly recommend the system to insti-
tutions and individuals in my own country, as
eminently calculated to benefit themselves by
extending their benefits to others" Numerous
government functionaries from abroad have en-
pressed similar sentiments and intentions
Moral training can be applied to every sub
ject of Juvenile improvement, rendering it rapid,
horouBh, anu Permaheh1. MaPs ior BeoBrapny,
mathematical figures for geometry, cabinets for
geology, drawings for all departments of nature
and art, prepared by pupils using them, after
affording the producers thorough and delight
full improvement, are applied for the entertain
ment and instruction of others. The earlier
this moral training is commenced the better.
without exception, the youngest pupils in the
schools engage in it more heartily than the old
est cultivating, not destroying, that inherent
taste for intellectual pleasures wisely implanted
in all young minds by their wise and benevolent
Creator.
