The MAYFLowER.-Ac curious discussion is pend
ing between Mr.. Croskey, Z. S. Consul at South
ampton, and the London Shipping Gazette, re-
speeding a point of history, which, probably the
Secretary of State, Mr.. Bancroft, Richard Hdreth,
else, may be able 10 decide. Mr..
Croskey, in his speech at the recent Shipping Ban
quet at Southampton, Sald-"As from the port OF
Southampton the MaytiO,0er went with the first
pilgrims to the New World so 1t was to Southamp-
ton that the first American steamer across the

hand, says-t'the MaytfoUer neither belonged 10,
nor was she fitted out at Southampton for her
intended voyage. She was chartered to sail from
Delft Itwas not at southampton she embarked
her human freight, but if we mistake not, chiefly
at yarmouth and Plymouth, and, most decidedly,
the latter was her point of departure for the New
World,''

FROM Mr BOOK OF YOUTH.

"And did'st thou not, thy breast TO his replying.
blend celestial with human hearth"
Thou hast an air celestial,-y rve dared
To think thee rot too high for human love:-
AS oft our aspirations mount above,
And catch some touch OF raptures, only shared
BY heavenly natures, or for saints prepared;-
And, as mortal passion once did move,
A goddess 20 communion, so l strovc
To win thy gentle spirits kind regard.
Oh! be thou my Egeria, and we'll find.
Near bright fountain, lapsing, clear aud lone,
A calm retreat, remote fro m all mankind,
Where we may make a heaven Of our own B.
There loves light fetters shalt our beings bind,
And pu:e affection bend our souls in one.

ceeded in fixing, in manner more or less perma-

states that the production oil all the colors is prac

to arrive at a convenient method of preparing the

In producing the images of precious stones and of
glass we observe peculiarly. We have placed
before the lens deep green, which has given
yellow image instead of green one; whilst clear
glass placed by the side of the other is perfectly

that of obtaining many coors at time; it is how
ever. possible, and NJ. Niepce has frequently OBJ
tanned this result. tie has observed, that bright
colors produced much more wildly and much
quicker IMAM uatk colorS-thatlS To say, that the
nearer the colors approach to white the more ca
silly are they produced, and the more closely they
approach to black the greater is the difficulty Of

green leaves are, however, reproduced very easily.
After sundry other remarks, OF no peculiar moment,
NJ. Niepce de SAINT Victor informs US, that the
colors are rendered very much more vivid by the
action OF ammonia, and at the same time this VIOLA
tile alkali appears to fix the colors with much per-
manence These results bring much more near
than hitherto the deside1atum of producing photo
graphs in their natural colors. The results are pro-

The STRIKE OF THE WoRKMEw.-The city presen-
ted quite an animated scene yesterday the work
in the factories of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company, accompanied by those of the Bal
ti'nore and Susquehanna workshops, and other es-
adjustments about town, having resolved upon a
grand promenade, in honor of general strike for an
advance in wages. They appeared in great strength
numerically and physically, and there is probably
no country IN the worc, which, upon similar oc-
casion, could effect manly and respectable dis
play. The order which characterized their pro-
ceedings was highly creditable to them; and their
conduct, collectively and individually so far as our
obSerya ion extended, assures us that they under

respect, and to the cause to which they have COM
