The PHILOSOPHER AND FERRYMAN.-A phi
losopher stepped on board ferryboat to cross
stream. On The passage, he inquired of the
ferryman if he understood arithmetic.
'ArIhmelic! No, sir!''
IL am very sorry, for one quarter of your life
is gone. Do You understand algebra"
"No."
Then another quarter Of your life is gone"
Just then the boat ran on a snug and was
sinking, when the ferryman jumped up, pulled
of his coat, and asked the philosopher
"Can you swim?"
"No, sir"
"Then your whole life is gone, for the boat
is sinking"

A company is about TO be formed in London,
with capital of one hundred thousand pounds
10 twenty thousand shares, for the purpose of
introducing sea water for bathing into the me-
uopois. Ii is ascertaned that the water of
the German Ocean is purer and better than the
sea water of The Southern coast OF Engla
moreover the elevation of the coast along the
German Ocean is higher than London; con-
sequently, the sea water will have natural
fall to the metropolis without the aid of ex-
penslve machinery to raise ii from the ocean.
Brighton lies below London several feet, and
the sea water is not pure. 1t is therefore pro-
posed to bring sea water through three lines
of pipes running alongside the Eastern Coun
ties Railway, and buried in the ground. The
water will be taken from the coast at Lynn,
which is nearly one hundred miles from the
metropolis, and distributed at the west end of
the town, each mansion being adequately sup
piled at the annual charge of about pounds.
The whole expense of this novel scheme, it is
calculated, will MT exceed one hundred thou.
sand pounds, and it is confidently believed
that shareholders will realise upwards of leo
per cent on the capital.

WAsHISeToy. August 10.

The enquiry lie often made here, whether
another pc liton TO the Governor for the pardon
or lin the event of their condemnation to death
by the Court the Communication of the sentence
OF the negroes, John and Jane Williams, will
no, be raised and signed by "iaige and most
respectable body of citizens' in Richmond
and again, If such a petition should be pre-
sented, whether the Governor will grant the
prayer contained therein. As such enquiries
have been made. merely note the fact en- pas
SAINT.
Mr.. Webster's early retirement from the
Cabinet is simply a conjecture as is also the
rumor of the probable appointment OF Dir.
Brooks, OF New York, as Postmaster General,
in place of Mr.. Hail. nominated by The Presi-
dent for the office of United States Circuit
Judge Tor the Nor hern District Of the State Of
New York.
There is considerable rejoicing among the
$1,000 and $1,000 clerks, the messengers, la
borers, Sc, in the departments. in view of the
action of the House on yesterday giving them
90 per cent. advance on their present pay,
commencing with the fiscal year, July l, 1852.
There is good deal of grumbiing, however,
among those clerks OF higher grade, because
they are not also included ia the provisions
and benefits of the act in question. The Sen.
ate, it is thought, will attend to their interests
liz uiging an amendment TO The House amend
ment when the Appropriation bill comes be-
fore that body.
Members OF both Houses are at last waking
up to "a just sense of the responsibility they
owe their constituents and the country. The
several Appropriation bills are passing lhro'
with cons derable speed. The River anu Har
Dor bill will be choked to death in the Senate;
this you may rely on.
The Democratic party hold e grand mass
meeting tonight in front of the City Hall. A
national salute of 81 guns will be fired in
honor of the result of the North Carolina cleo
ton.
Political meetings are the order of the day
or rather highland both parties constantly
make night hdeous by the miserable music,
shouting and hurrahing always accompanying
their respective professions.
We have had great deal OF rain. recently,
and the country people are rejoicing greatly
thereat.
Joseph r. lngersol, of Philadelphia, will
certainly be Dir. Law,ence's successor at the
Court OF ST. James. HENRICo.

Father Mathews Advice.

10 reply TO one Of the many addresses he ha.
received since his return TO Ireland, Father
MATHEWS made the following remarks:
After es'dence Of thirty years in Cork,
did not believe that could anywhere find more
narrowing illustrations OF the ruin and calamity
which drunkenness produces, until had visited
America. There the condition Of the drunken
emigrant Is forlorn--bereft Of care and pity, he
falls prey 10 the cupidity Of the harpies who
trade upon the unfortunate victims of this fatal
propensity. With full knowledge Of the poverty
Of the majority Of my unfortunate countrymen,
Isoud earnestly recommend Them 10 struggle in
their native land rather than expose themselves to
the dangers that await them among strangers"

The New Orleans Picayune does not seem
over-pleased at the manner in which Secretary
CONRAD refers 10 the treatmept OF the Spanish
consul. In reference 10 thi. m,tter, IL make.
use Of the following language:
IT appears that we were mistaken in sup.
posing the atonement granted 10 Spain was 10
be national salute, 10 be given to a Spanish
national vessel bearing the consul back. II il
directed 10 be given to the flag of whatever
Spanish vessel may arrive, bringing Mr.. La.
horde, or his sucsessor. Asa proof, Secretary
Conrad writes in his official order 10 GpnersI
Twiggs Of the respect the United states has
for himself and for his government, and in re.
turn for the grave injustice that has been done
10 him, and for The insult and offence that was
given TO his country BY an ungovernable mob
These are somewhat singing words to us
here who know how much. the exsggerations OF
Mr.. Laborde have tended 10 mislead national
opinions In regard 10 these matters, and how
widely the people Of New Orleans differ from
him IN their views Of facts, and their estimate of
the degree and kind Of atonement which should
De MADE. But good citizens will submit TO the
nat OF lawful authority with as good grace as
no oosuuctlons thrown in the way of the re-
sumption and discharge of his pnbljc dnt;es
Still we cannot but think that Spain would
have shown better desire TO remove ali traces
Of past adjusted grievances, by sending ms a
consul who had not been mixed up with them
at TIE most irritating period. We hope he will
exhibit the discretion which so peculiar posi.
ton requires, and that he will be aided therein
BY corresponding course on the part of the
community.
