RThe price of wood on the Mis-.

NThe price of wood on the Mis-
sissippi and lower Ohio, the present
season, has nearly doubled. 1t is now
selling to steamboats, on the Mississippi
at from four dollars fifty cents to FIVE
dollars fifty cents per cord, and the sup
ply not very abundant. The Rein
deer paid on her last trip, nearly six
hundred dollars more than she has ever
paid for cord wood heretofore upon a
single trip. Coal is anxiously sought
after. and every bushel taken from the
mines on the lower Ohio, commands a
ready market at the advanced rates.
But few shipments are being made, be-
cause of the heavy demands to supply
the steamboat trade.-LOu. Times.

HAn aged lady died in this city a
few days since who in youth refused a
marriage offer from John Quincy Ad-
ans. 1t will be recollected that, when
a young man, Mr.. Adams resided for a
time in Newburyport, and here became
acquainted with the lady alluded to,
who belonged to one Of the most fash
ionable and respectable families in the
place, and proposed to make her his
wife. She declined his offer and united
her destiny with one accomplished as a
scholar, and more fortunate in his nat
ural endowments than otherwise, and
thus the belle of Newburyport failed to
preside at tht White House, for which
she would have been every way fitted.
NeaOburyport Union.
On this the Boston Journal remarks:
1t was possible that John Quincy
Adams might never have reached the
White House had be married ''the belle
of Newburyport." Who can say that
it was not the influence of Just such a
wife as Mr.. Adams possessed, that
urged him on to the high position which
he attained?. Had fortune bestowed mp
on him the hand of some other fair dame
than the estimable and accomplished
woman he married. he might have left
behind him the reputation of having
been asmore fortunate in his natural
endowments than otherwise" .as.o

GAS FOR HEATING AND CooKrNG.- We find
in the New York Mirror the modns operandi
by which heating and cooking by gas is to be
accomplished. The common gas pipe is tapped
at any point, an India rubber tube is attached
by means of an ingenious coupling, composed
in part Of the same material through which
the gas is conducted to small iron plate-not
much larger than ones hand--that forms what
may be called the stove This plate is filled
with perforations, containing asbestos, which
concentrates and diffuses all the heat Of its
complete success in cooking, the Mirror speaks
with confidence. To cook three pounds Of
mutton-chop takes just ten minutes Of time,
and costs only one-third of cent; to boil a
kettle, containing half gallon of water, occu-
pies exactly twelve minutes, and consumes less
than cubic foot of gas. To get up break
fast Of four dishes say one for meats, second
for coffee, third for potatoes, &c, and q fourth
for eggs, or whatever else you please--will cost
only three cents, and can all be done within
fifteen minutes. Fifty dishes can be cooked at
the same time, if desired. A fine large turkey
was roasted at the Aston House, the other day,
by this process.

SUNDAY IN SAN FRANcrsco.--An incident
peculiarly characteristic Of San Francisco oc-
Cured in the vicinity of the Plaza. In no other
city in the United States could so striking a
contrast between castles, the feelings and the
education OF the inhabitants be exhibited. Be
tween two and three o'clock, some Cinnamon
had erected a kind of show box on Bramnam
place, for the exhibition of Punch and Judy,
and had attracted crowd, by means Of gongs
and other outrageous instruments. To this
crowd the exhibition was made, Mt so much q
sight. Returning to the same place, two hours
alter a crowd might still have been seen--but
how striking the contrast Instead Of a dis
play OF puppets, a minister of the gospel was
addressing his fellow men upon the truths of
the bible, and invoking, from the same spot
which he had occupied almost weekly for four
years, the blessings of heaven upon his fellow
men. This is one Of the contrasts our city is
constantly ftfrnishng--San Fran. Herald.

PRIZE FOR A, NEW ISyESTIoS.--Moses Y.
Beach, the publisher and proprietor Of the
New York Sim, with his accustomed liberality
to inventors, offers a prize Of one thousand
dollars to any person who will invent feeding
apparatus for bis mammoth press that will
feed in three thousand sheets per hour to every
one Of its eight cylinders; he also offers ten
thousand dollars for the patent Of such an in
yention. The offer, therefore, for the invention
is eleven thousand dollars, and will be open to
our inventors until the first Of january 1856.
The circulation Of the Stsn, il is stated has
become so large that an invention Of this kind
is demanded, as the hand-feeders cannot ex-
coed two thousand per hour each. II is desired
than an edition of one hundred and twenty
thousand of the SIN should be printed in Eve
hours.

THE RESPONSE OF NEW york.

We take the following from the columns Of
the Albany Argus Of the 9th. Nothing has
occurred for a long time that has so stirred the
fountains Of the great deep, as the removal Of
Judge Bronson. Perhaps Mr.. Guthrie begins
to understand that he has made grievous
blunder that he cannot easily repair:
"THE RESPONSE OF NEW YoRK.-The re.
moval Of Judge Bronson has called forth an
almost unanimous expression Of Reproduction
from the newspaper press of New York city.
The single exceptions are the abolition Ere,,ing
Post, and perhaps the Moraing Times, wing
journal in the interest of the administration.
With these fortunate exceptions, the voice Of
the press is unanimous. Democratic, wing,
and neutral newspapers all speak in one tone
that Of disgust at the shameful hypocrisy and
meanness Of the Guthrie letters, adherence for
the temper and feeling they disclose, and re-
greet at the loss of the able and unexceptionable
public officer who has been selected as vic
tim. The language of stern and bold rebuke
is spoken, too, by every class Of citizens in the
great metropolis.
"a meeting Of the members Of the bar was
held yesterday afternoon at the Law Institute
Library Rooms, for the purpose of rendering to
Judge Bronson the compliment of public
dinner, and otherwise expressing their esteem
for his character as a public officer and pri-
vate citizen.
"In addition to this, call has been issued
for n meeting of the New York merchants,
without distinction of party, at the Merchants
Exchange, on Friday, to express the opinions
of the mercantile community upon the subject
Since the formation of our government says
the notice published in the papers, IAN officer
was never before removed for such cause
Such is the feeling of that portion of the
community which rarely expresses extreme
partizan feeling, and, indeed, seldom entertains
them. Such movements, irrespective entirely
of political bias, cannot fail to have an import
ant effect upon public opinion. Well informed
men do not hesitate to say, that with all the
patronage Of the custom house thrown against
Il, the national democratic ticket is thousands
of votes better of in New York city to-day
than at any time before since its nomination.

PUBLIC LANDS IN MAlNE.--On Friday Octo
Der 81, as we learn from the Portland State o,
Maine, the Maine commissioners, Messrs. Ham.
lin, Williams, and Fessenden, gave their ap.
proval to the deed of conveyance, by which the
title of Massachusetts to any and all lands in
Maine was transferred to that State. This con.
veyance covers oil the legal and equitable in.
terests of which the commonwealth was, or
might be supposed to be possessed, so that, on
the delivery Of this deed, Maine becomes the
owner of 100000 additional acres Of land,
making, with her previous title, about two mil
lions Of acres in all. s.

ssS- A Committee Of the Virginia State Ag-
ncultural Society, consisting Of Messrs. w. Boul-
ware and Johnston Barbour, had an interview
to-day, with the President Of the United States
on the subject Of the guano trade. Their OBJ
ject representing the views Of the Association
and ofthe people Of Virginia, without doubt, is
to induce the President to adopt proper means
to md the country Of the odious monopoly in the
trade in this article. We establish no monopo-
lies ourselves, and we should, for still stronger
reason, permit no foreign government to estab-
lish them among us. We are happy to learn
that the President concurs with them in their
views, and is determined to carry them out
with energy, and with all the means which his
position affords him.

ISDIA.-The population of India is estimated
by writer in the Edinburgh Review al
l50,O00,000, of which about two-thirds are nm
der the sway Of Great Britain. This popula
ton is very unequally distributed. Some parts
Of the valley of the Ganges are as densely PEG
pied as China, while other parts Of India have
but slight population. There are, in this
country, ten distinct nations, speaking ten DIFF
ferent languages, with great number Of dia.
lects. In all these languages and dialects for.
eign tongues intermingle -such as the San.
scrit, Arabic, and Persian. This foreign inter
mixture is greatest imthe north part. of Hin

the country have always entered.

JUDGE BRoNsoN,s LETTER OF as.

The much talked-of and no less prosecuted
gentleman, whose name heads this article has,
by one Of those chances, or rather mischances,
that sometimes befall men, become the object
Of general attention. He has not stirred him.
self in the slightest degree to court notoriety.
He has not sought the praise, nor has he mer-
tied the censure that have been bestowed on
him. A peculiar conjuncture, not elected by
himself, has made him the rallying cry of one
party-the true party Of the nation, and the OBJ
ject of attack Of the other party-the false and
spurious democracy of the, country.
He was passiye-he was a discreet, serene,
and laborious officer Of the government, filing,
with dignity and credit post that had been
thrust on him, when the peculiar and much
to-be-deplored conjuneture occurred, to which
We allude. But it is not to praise Judge Bron-
son that we write these hasty lines it is to de-
fend him from charge that, if proved, would
almost hang him, but which, when proved on
his adversaries, is the means of their salvation,
advancement and honor.
We thought that Judge Bronson's letter to
as, published in our paper of yesterday, would
not only satisfy doubling friends, but would
silence bitter foes. Not so, however. Such
are the mighty interests-such the magnitude
Of the stake involved, that guilty or innocent,
false or true, honest or dishonest, Judge Bron.
son must fall. A victim is demanded. Be il
lamb or lions whelp, its blood must be
shed to appease the angry spirits Of the free.
soil democracy.
His letter Of '48 is dug up and brought to
light. With flourish Of trumpets it is an
nounced that he stands condemned by that let
ter as a freesoiler Of the worst stamp.
We deny it. Leave his last letter to ms out
| Of view altogether Take his letter of '4S, iso
| lated, unaided, and alone, and we deny the
charge. II words mean any thing, the words
| of Judge Bronson, contained in that letter Of
4S, mean that he thinks the question Of slavery
ought, in all its forms, to be kept out Of Con
gress. He is opposed to moving in it at all
He would leave slavery to remain uninterrupt
ed where il already exists. He would have the
territories to establish it, or not as they please
when they form themselves into States.
| That the north does not love the institution
Of slavery--that it does not enter into the feel
ings and sympathies Of southern men in regard
to it, we know and everybody knows. But
some Of the northern politicians have been true
to oil the constitutional rights of the SOUTH and
among them, we number with pleasure, the gen
| tleman Of whom we have spoken Judge Bron
son. We cannot now 60 further into this sub
ject-but in few days it is our purpose to
take up his letter of '48, and consider it in oil
its bearings, showing as well where we agree
as where we do not agree with him. Our OBJ
| ject at present is only to meet and counteraci
the attack made on him, by the general asser
ton that Judge Bronson is as much the friend
Of the south and its institutions, and the foe o.
freesoilers, as any man north of Mason and
Dixons line. gi NJ
