PHILIP ST. GEO. COOKE.
President P. A. Club

Lord Shaftesbury, the recognized head of the
Anti-Slavsry movement in England, writes. from
Genoa, some comments on the "Reply of the
American to the English ladies on the subject of
Slavery The scope of his argument is that the
social evils of England, to which the American
ladies REFER are quite beside the question; that
these evils are not nearly so bad as Americans
say, and that he (Shaftesbury) may retort by ex-
hlbitng the social enormities that have come to
his knowledge in Newly ork and Boston, but as
he has a 'rea kindness for our brethren in the
United States" he won't expose them. The ong
and short of the case is this, he says: We have
had, and we still have in England many evils, but
we are now doing CUR best to remove them. They
have had and they still have in America a great
evil. which they not only will not endeayor to
remove, but they make it daily worse-wtness
their Fugitive Slave Law; reviling, moreover, and
prosecuting every one who ventures to jog their
memories on things of vital importance to the
temporal and eternal interests of the human race"

The WEEKLY STAR for to-day is cap
ital number, giving all the interesting
news relating to the movements of Gov
eminent, as well as the working of the
wheels which control the action of our
public men. As Washington is the Mecca
of our nation, and the eyes of the people
are continually looking this way, as the
Mahomedan looks toward his holy city,
it is well for the people to be correctly
posted about what their servants are do
ing, and in no way can it be done as well
as by subscribing for the WEEKLY STAR.
The number to-day contains four closely
printed pages of "Washington News and
Gossip" of the most reliable character,
in addition to Poetry, Tales and News,
both foreign and domestic. The price OF
this journal is so low that it is placed
within the reach of all. 1t costs but
ONE DOLLAR AND A QUARTER A YEAR.
Clubs can secure it for less.

PERPETUAL MOTIoN.-An artisan in
very humble circumstances, residing in
Ipswich, England, has, after three years
labor, succeeded in constructing model
of machine, Is inches by l3, and ii !
deep, which is selfacting after being put
in motion by screw. 1t is powerful
enough to turn a grindstone against the
power of one person who had an iron bar
on the stone. 1t was kept in motion up
wards of thirty-six hours, at the end of
which time the speed was not diminished;
and the constructor, whose name is Thos
Stannard, contends that the machine will
keep in motion as long Us the materials
will last. The invention was offered to
several firms in Ipswich, who declined to
take it up, since which three persons be-
longing to one of the first firms of engi-
neers in London have visited Ipswich,
and examined the machine, and have been
induced to pay the inventor literally, and
have taken the machine and the inventor
70 London to prosecute inquiry.
