Sir Boyle Roche, speaking in the Irish
Parliament on an appropriation for the con-
struction of wharf in Dublin, said: "It
is remarked that the improvement will be
creditable to our national spirit and benef-
cial to posterity; now, sir, would like to
know what the d posterity has ever
done for us, that it should have such claims
upon our magnanimity." Now in this
country, we are doing a great deal for pos
terity, but we are leaving the bills for
them to pay. Every railroad, every water
aqueduct, every great state work, goes bal
anced with lands, stock or scrip, which our
posterity will have to pay.
This, some croakers say, is wrong-but
others say no, it is right And they take

of earth four by six feet, is given to poster

Sir Boyle, "What the ID has posterity
done for u.s." The accumulations Of this
generation will be given to that which sue
ceeds it. The labor expended on our public
and private edifces; al the facilities of
social comfort and public convenience; our
water-works, our gas-werks, our canals aud
railroads and magnetic telegraphs, the trea-
sures Of art, and the discoveries of science
ali will be theirs. Why then should pos
terity complain if We create a little debt for
them to pay, when they get the very work
for which the debt was created. We say.

A Merited Commitment.


AT large meeting of the merchants, I'm.
derwriters, and ship-masters of New York,
held on Tuesday last, series of resolutions
were passed highly complimentary to Lieut..
Maury, of the United States Navy; and it
was also resolved to appoint committee
to procure and present to him, in behalf OF
the mercantile community of New York, a
suitable and enduring testimonial, as an
expression of their appreciation of his
merits, and the benefits he has rendered to
science, navigation, and commerce.
This public expression of gratitude to
our gifted fellow-oitizen, for his arduous
labors in the cause of nautical science, is
fully appreciated here at the scene of his
services. Few men, in any age or country,
Aave achieved greater results in the same
department of knowledge; and-what is
better still-Lieut. Maury's labors are of
practical use. s.a, q. ST.. ... .....E s'- ~

again it was in lower and more mournful
tone: -'E

A CLERGYMAN at Richmond, Virginia, is
of opinion that notices Of exhibition should
be made through the newspapers, and not
read from the pulpit. If the lecture is
worth hearing, the lecturer can afford to
advertise-if it is not, ministers of the
gospel should regard it as unworthy of
notice in the sacred desk.

House of Representatives.

The consideration of the bill establishing
reciprocal trade with the British North
American Colonies upon certain conditions,
heretofore reported from the Committee on
Commerce, was resumed.
MIR. TowNsHEND concluded his remarks
in support of the bill.
MIR. STUART spoke in opposition to the
bill
Before action WAS taken, the bill was
laid over.
The House then went into the Committee
of the Whole and resumed the consideration
of the Indian Appropriation Bill.
Mr.. PHELPS moved an appropriation of
$50, 600 to enable the President Of the Uni
ted States to open negotiations for extin-
gushing the Indian title to lands within
the proposed territorial limits of Nebraska
He said that the Indians wished to dispose
Of some of their lands, as they could alto
gether subsist by the purchase.
The amendment was agreed to.

Postti0n Of American Mechanics.
The recent ''strike''' in Baltimore has sug-
-gessed many able articles, which We find in
Q our exchange papers, and wish. We could
republish. All agree that the present I'M
equalled prosperity OF, the nation is based
upon the industrious toll of the working
masses-and that if they are not properly
remuneratsd for their toll by the capitalists,
the fault is their own. So long rs mechan-
les accept pittance with thanks, and crinee
to their employers-so long as they permit
themselves to remain unrepresented in all
posts of trust or of honor-so long as they
make it the summit of their ambition to
"sink the shop" and become employers
so long will honest craftsmen be a subordi-
nate class Of the community.
Let them assume the independent, high
position to which they are entitled, and how
matters will change. No united assertion
of their rights, persevered in by all, has ever
failed to win what was asked. And if the
mechanics will only place themselves in the
front rank of society, they can occupv it.

The VICE PRESIDENT ELECT, by virtu
OF bill which has unanimously passed the
Senate, can take his oath Of office at
Havana, before Consul Sharkey, or before
any judge OF magistrate in the United
States. This progressive movement is pro-
badly owing to the melancholy apprehension
that the Hon. W. R. King will never live to
leave Cuba, or that, at best, he can only
reach some Southern port.
