New u Sc for Cotton.

Invention, which goes far to make use
full almost every production of nature,
has found new use for cotton, in which,
without doubt, a very large amount will
be employed. We allude to the mattresses
now coming so favorably and extensively
into use in preference to any article here
tofore tried. The writer of this has used
one for some six months past, and has
found it to possess every requisite and
desirable quality of mattrass, without
the objections so frequently urged against
moss, curled hair or husks-as the husks
moulding from damps, bad smells from
the curled hair in summer, and the lum-
py mating of the moss. The cotton felt
ing, prepared by patented process, has
none of these annoyances, is always elas-
tic, and will, with ordinary care, last a
life time. Our friends "way down on
the old plantations" will please make a
note of this, and consider that the inven-
ton is a feather in their caps,-or rather
money in their purses,-as the demand
for the raw material at home will doubt
less materially increase the price We
feel sure that if the real qualities of this
mattrass are ever made known to the
public generally, five hundred thousand
bales a year would not salty the demand
for its manufacture. The article having
been thoroughly tried on the principal
steamships and approved by their own
ers, as well as by physicians who have
tried and strongly recommend them, we
doubt not the Pattentee will make for
tune on them. The agents for this city
and the union generally, are Messrs.

Political QuarrelS.

There is wrangling and quarrelling among
the Democratic party. At Washington the
administration cannot please Mr.. Buchanan,
the minister to England. who modestly wants
to assume the management of all the ques-
tions between the two governments, and write
his own instructions! In Missouri a contest
is going on between Benton and Atcheson
and their respective factions. In N. Hamp-
shire Mr.. Burke is still carrying on his war
against the administration and It's organ at
Concord. In Ohio feud has sprung up be-
between rival parties; in Pennsylvania there
are various elements of discord ripening for
an explosion; in New York the old war ofthe
Barnburners and Hunkers is revived, and
throughout the land there are minor squab-
bles on local issues, which excite the bellig-
erents to an undue degree for such hot wealth

Opening Of the Crystal Palace.

The ceremony of opening the Crystal Pal
ace at New York, took place on the l4th
inst. President Pierce, attended by Messrs.
Guthrie, Davis, Campbell, and Gushing, men,
bers Of his Cabinent, and Sidney Webster, his
private Secretary, were present The open
ing prayer, by Bishop Wainwright, the open
ing address by Mr.. Sedwick and the response
by President Pierce were all appropriate, ex-
pressive and eloquent. Vocal and instrumen-
tai music pealed, at intervals through the
vast aisles with a grand, inspiring effect
The general effect of the Palace seems to
have surpassed all expectations. The arti-
cles for the exhibition are not properly ar
ranged, still all is in greater state of for
wardness than could reasonably have been
expected. The Tribune finds fault that nei-
ther the architects, designers, laborers, exhib-
itors, or mechanical inventors, were repre-
scented upon the platform-the seats of honor
at the opening of the exhibition.
As regards visiting the Exhibition, the Tri-
bune makes the following sensible sugges-
tUns:
Let US say once more TO our Country friends
Make no haste to visit our great Exhibition.
Come at your leisure and come prepared to
spend two or three days in systematic obSer-
vatiUu and careful study of whatever may
strike you as most worthy. Take your time
IN coming and try to have time at your COM
mand when you do come. You will probably
want a Catalogue in hand, wherein to pen
Gil your observations on what you may think
worthy of note; and no complete Catalogue
can be ready for some days yet. By-and by
we shall doubtless have Excursion Trains ar
ranged 10 bring in and return their hundreds
and thousands at reduced rates of passage;
the weather will be cooler and all circum-
stances more favoring. The Exhibition will
richly repay you the cost of attending it, but
take your time

Philadelphia, EastOn, and Water
Gan Railroad.

We are informed that the managers Of
this important enterprise have secured a
large and admirably located lot of ground
in the Northern Liberties as site for a
depot for their road 1t comprises the
entire space bounded on the north by
Noble street, on the south by Willow, on
the west by Front street, and on the east
by Washington Avenue, thoroughfare
fifty feet in width; Willow and Noble
streets measure each fifty feet wide at
this place, and Front street is sixty feet
wide, SO that this lot will have all about
its spacious busines streets. As regards
the area of the lot, it is $50 feet on Will
low street, the same extent on Noble,
34Oz feet in front, and somewhat less
extent on Washington Avenue. The
selection is convenient to the river, and
when the depot is constructed there, it
will no doubt give great impetus to
business in that section.

The Proof Thickens.

The Johnstown Echo, locofoco jour
nal, makes the following disclosure as to
the management Of our State improve
ments, which are we'll calculated to startle
the honest Locofoco taxpayers of the
Commonwealth, G and should induce them
to go to work in earnest this fall, and Sc
cure the election of Moses Pownall, to
watch and correct the misdeeds of the
Locofocos, whom they have aided to
put in power.
'We have not heard single statement
put forth in the above address contradic-
ted. In the community, where the facts
are known, no man will have the effron-
terry to deny the truth of this address,
We are credibly informed, that instead of
sixty thousand dollars of claims having
found their way into the State Treasury,
without passing through the hands of the
Superintendent of the road, the amount
swells to the enormous sum of Eighty
tow Thousand DollarS! The manner
in which payments have been made upon
the road has long been the subject of u
nive rsal complaint. Our merchants and
mechanics are all more or less dependent
upon the laborer, and when the State
does not meet her engagements with
those who toll for her, how can they
comply with theirs? That great State
should thus treat her operatives, is most
disgraceful Robbery of the laborers has
been reduced to a system, and the only
individuals to whom the system has proved
blessing, are few of the check-roll
spectators along the road, who somehow,
have always plenty of money to buy the
time of the laborers at discount of from
10 to Is per cent. Where do these check
roll sharks get the money they employ in
this unrighteous traffic? How comes it
that the check-rolls purchased by these
spectators always find money to meet
them at Harrisburg, while those for which
our merchants have given fair equivalent
are never paid! Why is it that few
individuals are in favor at the Treasury
of the State, who receive thousands of
dollars upon check-rolls, when the labor
ers are turned away without penny Is
the Treasury partner in this infamous
shaving? Are speculatiors in Schuylkill
coal lands profitable! and must money
be had to carry on these, and the specu-
ations in check roll 1t is said that one
Individual on the Portage Road purchas-
ID check-rolls to the amount offfty thou
sand dollars! Where did he get the mo-
ley! Was it his own, or was he only an
agent? Perhaps, if an answer was OBJ
aimed to these questions, and few 9th
3rs, information would warrant us in ask
ng the poor laborer on the Portage Rail
road, who had been Reeced of the proceeds
IF his labor, We would soon ascertain
where the blame lies.

Bethlehem.

A correspondent of the Charlestown
rs. c. Mercury, in speaking of Bethle-
hem, Pa, says it is one of the most de-
lightful summer resorts in the country
The same writer, in giving a short histo-
ry of the town, says it was founded In
I741, by Count Zinzandorf and his Mo-
ravian brethren-the settlement has re-
mained to this day peaceful, prosper
Gus and remarkably high-toned commu-
nifty. It's inhabitants have preserved in
tact their love of order, refinement and
education, and their purity of life is pro-
verbal. A fine female seminary, estab-
lished there nearly century ago, has
now 80 pupils, the number, to which il
is limited.
This pleasant little place has been the
theatre of operations for some of the best
botanists our country has produced
From this centre the Rev. Dr. Schwein-
itz made his vast collections, now to be
seen in the Academy of Natural Scien-
ces, Philadelphia, and the science has had
other enthusiastic followers in Bethlehem
since his day. The pioneers in botany
and entomology in the United States,
were Pennsylvania clergymen, such as
Muhlenberg, Schweinitz, Melsheimer and
others.

MOSqHitOes--MOde of getting rid

Mr.. Fortune, travelling in the interior
of China, found the mosquitoes almost in
tolerable. In the boat there was no rest
for him. He was finally advised to pur-
chase some mosquito tobacco The Chi
nese take some bamboo or other substance,
get the savings of some resinons wood,
juniper tree or such, mix it with some
combustible matter, and cover the stick
with it near to its extremity, then hang
it up and burn slowly. The odor is not
unpleasant. The saw dust is sometimes
put up in paper and burnt on the floor
Various species of wormwood are used
and the stems and plants are dried and
mixed with some intlamable substance

stances, and whenever they are set on
fire the insect leaves. We should have.

CasIOn.

The French clergy are now throwing diff
Cultes in the way ofmixed marriages between
Protestants and Catholics. Most ofthe priests
refuse TO pronounce the benediction on these
unions unless where formal engagement is
taken to bring up the children in the Romish
faith. The church is no longer contented
with the common compromise, according to
which boys are educated in the fathers and
girls n the mothers belief The consequence
Is that several mixed marriages have lately
been celebrated by Protestant clergy.

Fire in HOnesdaIe.

Early this morning fire occurred on
Sixth Street. 1t consumed q cabinet
shop, a blacksmith shop, large stable
for the accommodation of boat horses, the
building known as Military Hall, and
an extensive bakery. The cabinet shop
belonged to G. P. & G. G, Waller, Esqs.,
and was in the occupancy of two Ger
mans. 1t was not insured. The loss is
not much. All the other buildings be-
longed Mr.. George Britenbacher His
loss is from $4,000 to $4,000, while his
insurance is only $780,
The fire was first discovered in the
second story of the Cabinet shop, and as
no body lodged in the building, as no fire
was used about the premises at this sea-
son of the year, it is difficult to account
for the destruction except by supposing
it to be the work of an incendiary.--

Serious Accident.

On Saturday 9th inst, as Mr.. Benja-
min Treadwell, with two young ladies,
was returning from pleasure-ride down
the River Road, the horse took fright near
the lime kilns of Mr.. Uhler, and ran into
one of the pits, which is on level with
the road and much exposed. The pit
was fortunately half full of lime, which
prevented serious catastrophe. One of
the young ladies received considerable
injury from the fall, from which there was
at the time some doubts of her recovery.
She is now, however, out of danger, and
doing well. AS the accident occurred
late in the evening, the horse and car
riage were left remaining in the pit until
Sunday morning, when they were taken
out having received little or no injury

Starvation I'm SDain,

It apears that the miserable condition
which Ireland was reduced few wears
ago is paralleled by what is now taking
place in Spain. A writer in French
paper says -
"In vain the venerable Bishop of st.
Jacques, in presence of more than six
hundred unfortunates, resembling mo-
wing corpses, who daily besiege his gate,
has sold his mules and his carriage. In
vain has he reduced himself and his SER
wants to the merest necessaries, in order
that he might give the rest to those who
perish of hunger. All that he and the
other bishops and clergy, all that the
government can do according to the Es-
peraaeo, is but drop of water to extin-
guiSh the cOnfagration. When we speak
of the government, however, we must re-
member that last contribution made by
it of 1000, 900 of reals had not been dis
tributed. In the mountains, the starving
die by dozens, and in many places fevers
of the most dangerous character arejoined
to the famine. Hundreds of sick expire
for want of nourishment and medicine
The streets of our cities are encumbered
with old men, women and children, with
the visages of corpses, covered with mis-
cradle rags, and even worse, troubling
themselves no longer except to die in qui-
ct, and imploring with loud cries the sue
cors of the public charity. At the gates
of the Archiepiscopal Palace more than
thousand people wait for daily bread
and l hear that one day lately 4,50O poor
assembled to receive the aims distributed
in the city by one gentleman"

Supreme Court.

The following important opinion was
delivered in the Supreme Court, at Har-
risburg, on Tuesday week:
Armstrong as. Ware. Opinion of the
Court, Lowrie, j.
The law gives lien to mechanics on
every building erected by them; but not
for adding to, or altering the old build
ing The parties in their contract call
this work additions and alterations; but
is it properly so? Every part of the house
was constructed, except a part of three
walls, and even in these the openings are
new.
There must necessarily be cases where
in it is difficult to decide whether work
done is to be regarded as the erection or
the alteration, any building which old
materials enter as an element; which
would be unreasonable. A saddle may
be new, though old stirrups, and even
some leather of an old one be used in
making it. A saw mill may be new
though it has an old water wheel or fore
bay. Where the structure of building
is so completely changed, that in COM
mon parlance, it may be commonly cal
led a new building or rebuilding, it
comes within the lien law This is some
times difficult to decide, and then it must
be left to the jury. Under the evidence
here the court might have decided that it
is case of building erected within the
meaning of the lien law, and ought to
have ordered nonsuit. Judgment re-
versed and a new trial awarded.

sharp frost hung upon our neighbOrhoOd,
and on its departure, left rather a with

Potatoes, and many of the more tender
garden plants, had their tops changed
from their native green to more dark
some hue. On the same morning there
was frost in Indiana county, freezing the
