ROBERT OWEN CoNvERTED BY THE RAPPERs.-

compelled contrary to his previous strong
CONVICTIONS "to believe in future conscious state
OF life, existing in refined material, or what Ia
called spiritual etate." The object of these
ma nifestations, continues Mr.. Owen, is to change
OF human existence, for true, united, and happy
state, to arise from new universal education, or
formation of character from birth, to be based on
truth, and conducted in accordance with the es-
tablished laws of human nature" Mr.. Owen
thinks that this change may be easily Effected and
adds that the means to do 30 in all countries are
known. They appear, from his showing. to be the

0J-An Act has been passed by the
House of Representatives, at its present
session, by an almost unanimous vote,
establishing the Office OF Auditor oi
Accounts. The Bill ought TO have been
passed long ago; this subject was
brought TO the attention OF the General
Assembly by Mir. Cranston, ofthis city
some five or six years since, land he
has urged the matter upon the members
annually ever since. He introduced the
Bill again at the May session, and il has
now passed tile House, but We tear that
II may be suspended in the Senate,
mainly for the reason, we suppose, that
as there are multitude Of candidat es
for the Office of Auditor, which has q
salary Of 5000 per annum, the dominant
party are somewhat puzzled as TO whom
to give the office. But we learn that
the General Assembly will adjourn to
sometime in September, for the purpose
of attending to some other matters
and we hope that, at all events, the
Senate will then concur with the House
in this very important Bill.

I llAYv ARDS GAzETEER OF THE UNITED
/ STATEs.-This is another compilation
by Mr.. John Hayward, who is already
iavorably known to the public by his
various local Gazettcers, and oher
geographical and statistical works.
The contents OF the present volume are
various, and valuable in the highest
degree for the purposes Of reference
II contains IA general description OF all
the States in the Union, which is placed
in the beginning Of the volume, follow
ed by descriptions Of the mountains,
lakes, rivers, and other physical features
oi the country. To these are added the
names and descriptions of the cities,
towns, and villages Of the United States.
In addition, the book contains list OF
the mineral springs, caves, beaches,
waterfalls and other places Of interest
10 the traveller, with the census tables
Of the United States and list OF the
post Aices, colleges, professional schools,
and public Libraries Of the country,
besides banks, lighthouses, railroads
and routes and distances. a grand
distance table also exhibits the miles
from Washington TO most Of the lmpor-
tan, places throughout the country. An
excellent map for general reference
accompanies the volume.
\ 1t will thus be seen that Mr.. Hay
wards new work. which is an octave of
SEQ pages, contains a very large amoun,
I OF useful information, which must have
7 been gathered at greu, expense OF
time and industry. For Mr.. Hayward's
accuracy, all who are acquainted with
his previous publications will vouch. A
