New Political Movements.

There seems to be simultaneous move
ment in different parts of the country for a
new political organization. 1t has been oc-
casioned mainly by the great increase OF
foreign immigration and the consequent de-
preston of the American laboring classes,
and more especially stimulated perhaps by
the increasing power and influence of Pope
ry in the country and its insiduous attempts
to smother and control our system of free
public schools In Pennsylvania State
Convention has been already held few
weeks since in Philadelphia, at which an
American party was organized, and nominal
tlons made for certain State officers. A
similar movement has lately taken place IN
Baltimore.
In New York a powerful movement Is
going on, rather silently, but very efficiently
tending in the same direction. An organl,
cation has been formed, called "The Amer
lean Party" which has publicly proclaimed
Its principles, and taken the field. Wher
the time comes, politicians will hear 'thun
DER from this party. .es5-ai

which met at Buffalo, number OF the ministers
of that persuasion; in the SYNOD of Virginia, have
signed the following resolutions, and proposed
them to the other Southern Synods for adoption:

holding States decline making any response to the
inouir,es proposed by the late General Assembly
;. That said Presby teries be fully represented

Subject of slavery being introduced, to propose
resolutions expressing in the strongest terms the

improper,' and should not be permitted; Ani

1t is matter OF regret that we have heretofore
exhibited such regardlessness in relation TO the

let them pass away into the hands of strangers to
their name and blood. The country should have
possessed ar least some of these sacred spots, and
maintained them inviolate from destruction or in
novation. Mount Vernon, at all events, should
have been purchased by the federal government
and guarded shrine to which the worshippers
OF liberty in all lands might look with religious
veneration. The home of Washington should
never have been permitted to pass from he family
into the hands of ordinary Spectators. Monticello,
the abode OF Thomas jefferson, was also entitled

The DIscovERER OF GOLD IN AUSTRIA
LA A CALIFORNIA M1NER.-Are our citi.
zeEs aware that Mr. Hargraves, who first
discovered gold in Australia, was once a
miner in California-and, further that he
left fair prospects in this country expressly
to search for the precious metal in Austria
liza! This he was induced to do from the
close similarity between the formation of
the rocks in the two countries. The discov-
cry was not, therefore an accident, but the
result of settled conviction in the mind of
Mr.. Hargraves-a conviction which induced
him to travel thousands of miles to verify.
While in California, he wrote his impress
sions to some Sidney merchants, and shortly
afterwards, he appeared in lropria persona
having forsaken the certainties of California
for the uncertainty of fulfilling his own pre-
dlctions in Australia, the astonishment of
his mercantile connections in Sidney was at
its height His friend, Mr.. Peck, called
him mailman Another friend, Mr.. Nor
ton, the well known solicitor of Sidney, was
even less polite to the adventurer. well,
sir, you are fool always thought SO and
now am sure Of it Mr. Norton, howev-
er, added that as Mr. Icely, the highly re-
spected member of the Legislative Council,
was almost as infatuated as himself, they
would, no doubt agree capitally, and he
would give him letter of introduction.
To Mr.. Icely, at Bathurst, accordingly, our
adventurer proceeded. At the first inter-
view Mr. Hargraves told that gentleman
that there must be gold field in the neigh
borhood, and that probably he should dis
cover it within the next twenty-four hours.
In this he was mistaken, but he actually did
discover it within the next thirty-six hours !.
Mr. Hargraves had with him Mr.. Lister,
and when they came to the rocks which had
been ever present in the mind of Mr.. Har-
graves, the latter said to the former, "There
is gold where you walked over to get some
water, and | will find it.. The indications
were a schistose dyke crossing the creek at
right angles. Our adventurer at once went
to work with his t:owel. washed the earth,
and found the gold which he had come all
the way from California to, seek for.

Monster Steam Ships for Australia.

The Eastern Steam Navigation Company. of
London, have concluded provisional arrangements
for the construct, ,n OF new line of steamers. 70
sail between that port, India. and Australia The
dimensions and powers of the ships are intended
to be follows, viz: length. ESQ feet; breadth, 50
feet; depth, 5Sleet with screw and Paddl engines;
aggregate nominal horsepower. :, 600 This eN-
traordinary size the company consider necessary,
be engaged, and the length of the voyage they
will have to perform. are taken into consideration
They will carry sufficient quantity of coal 10
perform the entire voyage to Australia or Japan,
and home, and will have upwards of 5000 tons
measurement left for merchandise. They will
have 500 cabins for passengers of the higher class
and ample space for those of the lower. In in
creasing the size of the vessels, the company be-
ieve that they will obtain the elements of speed
hitherto unknown, and if, hereafter coal applicd-
be TO the purpose OF steam can be supplied from
the mines of Australia, the carrying capacity OF
the ships will he proportlonatey increased. 1t
is believed that the great length OF these vessels
will enable them to pass through the water at a
velocity of fifteen knots per hour, with a smaller
power in proportion TO their tonnage than oriin-
arv vessels now require TO make ter knots an
hour. No doubt is entertained but that the voy-
age between England and India, by the Cape,
Will be reduced 20 from thirty TO thirty-nne days

MAyrFAcruRE OF GoLD.-1Ir Theodore Tiifer-
eau Frenchman, claims TO have discovered the
means of manufacturing gold. In paper laid
before the French Academy of Sciences, he has
put forth his views, and asserts that he has actu-
ally produced sold'by artificial. means. The pro-
cess is thus described; f.,rr @frT
He proceeds upon principle admitted by all
chemists, that the properties OF bodies are the re-
suit of their molecular constitution and he adduces
numerous examples in chemistry, in which bodies
assume different properties according as they have
crystaized in one form or another although their
composition remains the same. All that he had
20 seek was a substance which. by its catalytic
forces, would act upon the body which it was
desired TO transmute and then to place the last,
under certain conditions, in contact with it to eff
feet the change. ftime III III lo
He believes that there are but few simple sub
stances in nature. and considers that the forty
metals now assumed to be such, are in reality
combinations, probably of one radical with some
unknown body. hitherto not studied, but which oi
itself alone modifes the properties OF this radical
and thus presents us apparently with iorty bodies
whilst in reality there is but one. II any one has
discovered this body, which has hitherto escaped
the researches PHILOSOPHERS. and can cause it to
act on any given metal is there anything surprs-
ing that he can change the nature OF the metal by
giving il, with different molecular constitution
the properties of that metal in which this consti-
tutor naturally exists. This he asserts he has
