The REINDEER CAsE.-The Albany Argus,
states two facts in regard to the management
of the Reindeer on her late disastrous trip,
which show that the officers were anything but
prudent. 1t says
"The officers of the Reindeer, there can be
no doubt, though not racing, were running
against time. The effort was, to reach Albany
in good season for the o'clock train to Sarato-
ga and Buffalo-ano to do this the steam was
kept up to the highest point, and the boat press
ed forward with all possible speed.
" We learn from a passenger on board, who
reached this city by railroad on Saturday even-
ing, that no steam was let off while the boat lay
at Malden-apd that he, apprehending danger
from that circumstance, was in the act of walk
ing aft on the promenade deck for greater safe
ty, when the explosion took place. Suisse
quently, in conversation with gentleman who
had taken passage at New York-(our inform
ant came on board at Newburgh)-he was told
that no steam had been let off at any of the land
ings, on the way up"
This neglect to blow off the steam when ves-
sells stop is we are told, one of the chief dam
gers of steam navigation. While the engine is
not at work, of course no steam is drawn from
the boilers, where it is allowed to accumulate,
as the heat of the boiler increase. But the first
stroke of the pumps, throw cold water into con-
tact with the hot surfaces, generates additional
steam and increased pressure. 1t is for this
reason that explosions occur more frequently
when vessels are just moving off than when
they are under full headway. N. Y. Eve. Post

THE PRINTING ART.-Swiss papers state
that machinist of Dnsiedln, in the Canton of
Schwyz, has invented new apparatus for print
ing by electric telegraph, by which each letter
is printed in any required kind of type by a sim
gle closing of the circuit, and the motion Of the
letter is accomplished by the action of one mag
net and one commutator only. The paper
which receives the impression from the type
moves in regular correspondence with the ac-
ton of the operator, and if he stops before the
sentence is concluded, the paper likewise stops.
The work is represented as to the best quality
of print.
Major Benjowsky lately gave lecture at the
Mechanics Institution of London, for the pur-
pose of explaining the modus operaudi of a
new kind Of type invented by him which ena-
bles persons quite unacquanted with compos-
ing tocompete with finished composers. With
the aid of this invention one person can set up
$500 letters in one hour. .

A HEART LIKE AN Ox.--We like this YAM
keeism. What other equally short expression
tells as much? The OK is gentle, docile, obe-
dient, industrious, true, patient, submissive,
powerful and brave; and these characteristics,
with his large body, Indicate a great heart
What is it, then, to say of a man, he has heart
like the heart of an OK? 1t is to say he has an
open, noble, generous, truthful intelligent soul;
and that he will sooner die in great and good
actions, than live in shriveled meanness and
petty wrong. Let us feel that man has the
heart of an OK, and we are ready to trust our
name, our property and our lives to his keep
ing for we know he cannot betray us. But
let us look upon him as having the heart of the
weasel, the hog, the hyena, and we will flee him
as we would a pestilence. 1t may be called a
homely expression, but it is vast praise of
man, to say he has heart like the heart of an
OK. Wyoming Co., Mirror.

THE FISHERY QUESTION SETTLED.-Says
the European Times of the 2lst Our readers
will be glad to learn, on the authority of the
evening organ of the Government, that the fish
cries dispute with the American Union has been
brought to an amicable termination. AT this
every one must rejoice, but the British colo
nsts, for whose especial benefit this rupture
with the United States was sought, and OH
whose account we sent armed vessels to the
scene of the trespass will be surprised to learn
that the affair has been settled by our surrender
of rights, the legality of which was not dispu-
ted by either of the contracting parties and the
infraction Of which formed the ground of our
interference. Certainly, this is very ridicu-
lous affair, the only gratifying feature of which
is that question has been set for ever at rest
which ought not to have been mooted. 1t is
not the concession which our Government has
made to the Americans which is annoying, but
the ridiculous figure which we cut in the eyes
Of the world, and more especially in the eyes Of
we commenced in buster to maintain. This is
very humating to the rational character, and
very degrading to the executive power-but,
as we have been placed in this position by our
present precious Ministry, we must submit
to it with what grace we can command.
The negotiation, it seems, which has thus
amcably terminated, has been conducted in
London, and the future historian of the Derby
Ministry will not fail to dwell on the circular
letter which Sir John Pakington recently ad-
dressed to the governors of the American COL
onies, setting forth their rights, followed in a
few weeks after by the capituation which we
are assured has taken place.

BYRoN's FIRST LovE.-She was has life, the
ocean 10 the rirer of his thoughts.-That Mary
Chaworth returned the passion of her young
poe..lover, | have not doubt; but like the
Montagues and Capulets, the houses Of Cha
worth and Byron were at feud. Mary had not
the strength and truth of Juliet, and so they
were parted-a separation by far more piteous
to her. and more fatal to him, than death amid
the full summer brightness of happy love. This,
not Shakespeares, was the true soul-tragedy.
Might she not have taken the helm of his pas
sion-tossed spirit, and guided it into deeper and
calmer water! Might she not have redeemed
even his wayward and errng nature by the d-
vinity of a pure love and steadfast faith p
But it was not to be. Mary bestowed her hand
upon man, of whom little better can be said
than that he ranked "among the most eminent
sportsmen of the day"-lived, it is said to weep
wild tears over the words which have linked her
name in sorrowful Immortality with her lovers,
and died in Observation-Disclosures, at last, while he,
grown reckless, restless and defiant, the very
core Of his heart turned to bitter ashes, forget
ting his God, and distrusting and despising his
brother, swept on his glorious, shameful, sor-
rowful, mad and stormy career, till the shadows
deepened and the long night closed n.

The French Tyranny,

All accounts combine in representing the
condition of things in France as most dcplo-
rablc. The Usurper has published what is
called the Constitution. II is but a confr.
mnliun of his nbsolutism -confidng all pow
er to his arbitrary will. Below are extracts
from the European Correspondent of the In
dcpent, which will give our readers a com.
prehensve summary Of the terrible state of
affairs in France;
One day there are universal TIE Deums,
10y command Of the saviors of society; aud
we are told by Morny "that Providence does
nothing by halves" meuIing that the man
stepped in perjury aud blood is not to be less
than emperor. Another day we learn that,
hy decree, the words Liberte, Egaltc, Fra
ternite, are Immediately to he eflaced from
monuments, public ediccs, and private
dwellings,; and that troops Of workmen are
basely employed erasing tho prescribed
words. Another day brings the intelligence
that THE NATIONAL GUARD is DISSOLVED
THRoUGnoUT FRANcE the press DESTROYED /;
miserable censors sitting in secresy, and re-
ceiying unseen, through slips, the proofs of
the journals; trial by jury abolished; the in
dependence ofjudges aud advocates mena.
ced; pluces OF entertainment and refresh
ment under rigorous police regulations; con
versalion on public topics interdicted, and
even the gossipers in the nristocratic salons
threatened. These things done and threa-
tened, and the tyrant and his tools resting on
the bayonet and the vote, the rcpose of,lentIl,
at least might now he looked for But an-
other fact adds n terrible climax; eighty
three representatives are banishod from
France, with threatenings ofa worse fate if
they venture TO return. Without crime al
legged, without trial, without appeal, these
mcn are torn from their families aud from
France.
In the Departments the Republicans were
being hunted like wild beasts we had heard
of high intelligence and station driven TO
despair and TO suicide, fearing even to seek
shelter from relatives and friends; we knew
the prisons were over-crowded, and that
ships of war were being converted into ad-
dltonal prisons; we knew that the military
tribunals were dispensing prompt and fierce
revenge; and it was said that the Court of
Cessation would interpose and question the
legality ofthese sentences; but now we learn
that il has been resolved 10 depon thousands
Of citizens lOithout hiai, without sentence; to
cram them OH board ships of war, and send
them TO perish at Cayenne! A beginning
has been made. In the dead of night 4f8
detained prisoners have been taken from the
fort OF lvry, placed in special train for Ha-
vre, taken from thence TO Brest, and there
put on board tho Duguesclin, 90 gun ship,
destined for Cayenne, in French Guiana
The ruling brigands have "granted" to each
other, or one to another of them, four mil
lions of francs, for tho purpose Of founding n
penal colony at Cayenne. 5Ets. 100

prevented the introduction Of slaves into iha
Kingdom. You were incorrect when yot
said zone thing is certain, the believers il
the Divine Authority of the Bible, gepUallj
uphold slavery" The unbelievcrs in its
Divine Authority aro generally seeking tho
abolition of this evil. ('rruly Anti Bible
men have always been the salt of the earth
witness the French Revoutions.l The most
conspicuous Anti-Bble man in the United
states, is one of the most inveterato enemies
of the colorcd mau.
we will present one example more, OF
sterling abolitionism, found nmong Bible
men, md then we will close. You say in
the Liberator of January 30, "That when
Mr. Garrison twenty-five years since, took
his stand and consccrated himself to the
| abolition of slavery, ut that time he was in
sympathy with the theological opinions, aud
religious practices oftho Cakiustic Baptists,
at present one of the largest sccts in the ma
ton" Now by your own testimony, here is
believer in the Divine Authority of the
Bible, devoing the energies of mind and
body to the overthrow of slavery, under very
inouspicious circumstances, who is m him
self an host, zone who can chase thous-
and"
That large majority Of the church and
clergy, in the United States are rocrcant to
their duty on the question of slavery we
freely admit. We offer no apology on their
bchulG we will be pleased to see Anti.Bblc
men pouring out the vials of their wrath OH
their guilty heads, and we know they will
do it with hearty good will, ia their own pe
culiarly loving way. We wish to sec them
severalIy cnsigated, for passing by on the
other side, leaving the bleeding slave weller
ing in his gore not only passing by on the
other side, but acting as accessories to the
robbers. "Inasmuch as they have done il
to the least of Christ's brethren they have
done ii to Him" However we think Anti. !
Bible men arc not well calculated TO show |
tlca their Inconsistency. If the Bible is
such book MS they represent, the church
and clergy act in perfect consistency with
its beheasts Dear Friend Wright, "our
shifting is not intended TO break your head" |
We earnestly desire your temporal and eter-
nal welfare.

At n meeting of the colored citizens of
Cincinnati, held ut the Union Baptist Church

were adopted after much discussion.
Resolved, Tint we are opposed to the
whole scheme of colonization, MS presented

TO colonization ITSELF so far as it applies to
the removal Of the free people of color to
Lberin, or to any other portion of Africa,

recommend it MS they would any other evil.

real conflict of interest between the white
and colored races of this country.
Resolved, That we believe that the two
races white and colored, can live together
agreeably IN this country, upon terms of
equality.
