The Flying ship.-Two years or more have
elapsed since Mr. Rufus Porter issued his pro-
posals for constructing an apparatus for carrying
passengers through the air, and first received sub
scrptions TO aid him in his novel enterprise. The
model which he exhibited in Carusis Saloon
worked very well, and convinced some Of the
spectators of the feasibility of his plans. With
the perseverance which attaches to enthusiastic
genius, he set himself 10 work, determined, if he
could, 10 construct machine of sufficient float
and steam-pow to convey pleasure party to
the New York Crystal Palace, and fixed the period
of departure towards the close of last autumn
Since that time however, we have heard nothing
of the efforts Of the artist but several Missionaries
who were anxious TO take the voyage are still
awaiting, with impatience, the completion Of the
apparatus, while gentlemen who have invested
funds in the speculation have abandoned the hope
OF declaration of dividend from the profits ofthe
concern.
Mr.. Porter is fair specimen of genius strug-
Cling with difficulties /; and for his own sake, il
is to be regretted that he did not turn his talents
into channel Of business which could promise to
yield him prompt returns for the cash, intellect,
and mechanical ingenuity, invested in the enter
prise.
We can readily conceive Of the advantages ola
"saloon" floating through the air, and steered in
any direction. For carrying the mails, and recon-
noitering an army, throwing red-hot bombs
down upon hostile armies and navies il would in
deed be valuable, while it would be beyond the
range Of cannon or rifle balls but the construc-
. ,x>fa 81 L.. n, DIFF,
Mr.. Pennington, or Mr.. Anybody else, is among
the improbabilities of the present age.
The Liquor Question: considerable por-
ton of the community is excited on this subject
and particularly the vendors ofintoxicating drinks,
who consider that the recent laws of the city
councils will have the effect Of taking clothing
from their bodies and bread from the mouths of
themselves and families. Licenses expire on the
first Of November, but certain number of days
Is allowed for their renewal As there will be
only one more meeting of the councils before the
incoming of the next month, the Fathers" will
have TO act with more industry than heretofore if
they intend 10 render the relief prayed for by the
keepers of hotels, and Of taverns and refectores-
by modifying the laws relative to the :! st-class"
establishments, and giving the others a reasonable
time in which TO wind up their affairs, so that
they may enter upon other branches CT business,
in accordance with the views expressed in the
memorials presented 10 the councils.
The old laws, if strictly executed, would have
awholesome and restraining influence on the retail
liquor trade, without resort to doubtful expedi-
enis. However desirable an entirely prohibitory
law may be to large and respectable class of
citizens, we doubt whether il could be enforced
under present circumstances. Reform in this
matter should be gradual, in order TO secure per-
manent success.

JEW AND CATHOLIC MARRIED - a
young Jew in Paris, wished 10 be married
some weeks siuce to young girl Of the
Catholic religion. The yonng lady APP
piled TO her pastor, who said he could
no, bless the marriage of a Jew. The
pastor referred her ,e the Archbishop oI
Paris, who refrred her to the Court oil
Rome. The Pope refused 10 aulhoriz
the marriage, They then turned to ihe
other side. For want of Catholic bless
ing on their marriage the lady consented
TO recoive that Of the jew. They applied
10 the Grand Rabbi; hut I've was not less
exclusive han the Pope, and refused 10
bless the marriage Of Catholic. The
Pope refused TO bless the jew: lie Rabb
refused 10 marry The Christian; the young
people were either prevented from marry
ing, or were to be married without q
benediclon. Then the uncle Of the
young bridegroom advised them, as the
last resource, to address themselves /,
one his colleagues, a Protestant pastor
nj. .CoquersI. M.Coquerel replied lha
he had in his heart players for the whole
world, and, above all, for thvse who wisl
for them. SO the young people wer,

SEcREcY CT DIPLoMAcy.--The fellow.
ing extract from Kossu,hs' speech
speaks ihe senlimrnisof majority ol
The Auerican people in relation 10 this
subject. The world is beginning 10 be-
l'eyc that where there is secrecy there
is wrong. Let diplomacy foEbear to
hide its head, and we will not have so
many political movements and organi-
zaiions Of mysterious character in our
midst. There is always danger in hi
ding under ground political elements.
Powder that explodes on the surface, is
innoxious; that which is confined, pro-
duces rack and rnip. Here is the ex>
tract II is from his speech at Guild
hall, London, in 1851:
"The time draws near when radical
change must take place for The whole
world in the management of diplomacy
Its basis has been secrecy; therein is
lbe triumph Of absolulism, mud the miss
fortune Of q free people. This has won
its way not in England only, but through
on: the whole world, even where not a
penny Of the national property can be
disposed of withoot public consent. II
surely is dangerous 10 the interests ol
the country, and 10 constitutional liberty,
10 allow such secrecy that the people
not only should not know how its iEler.
esIs are being dealt with, but that afie'
the crisis is passed the minister should
inform lhom: 'fhe dinner has been pre-,
pared and eaten; aud the people have
nothing 10 do but 10 digest the co0sc-
qneuccs.' What is the principle Of all
evil in Eur6pef The encroncbing spirii
'of Russia And by what power has Rus
sia become so mighty? BY its arms?--
No: ME arms Of Russia ATE below those
of many powers. Ii has become almost
omnipoeni-ai leas, very dangerous ia
Iiberly-by diplomatic inirgues. Now
against the secret n'Tigues Of diplomacy
here is no surer safeguard, or more
powerful connieraciion, ,Ian public dis,
cussion. This musi DO opposed TO in.
'rigues, and inuigues are then of nc
weight in the deshnies of bumanity."--

THE AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE.--As q
proposition is at the present time serious
ly proposed by Mr.. Slidell in the U. S.
Senate, TO Withdraw our Squadron from
she African coast, andas this is suppo>
sed generally to be prelude TO partial
revival OF tho Slave Trade, we give the
following extract from work lately pub
lishod, entitled "Africa aud the Ameri-
can Flag" by Commander Andrew H.
Fooie, U. s. N. Lieut., commanding u.
y. Brig Perry, on the coast OF Africa:
"The slave.ifade," says our author, sis
now carried on by comparatively small
and i'll found vessels, watched by the
cruisers necessarily. They are therefore
induced, at any risk Of loss BY death, 10
crowd and pack their caieoes, so that a
successful voyage may compensate for
many captures. In olden times there
were many essels fitted expressly for the
purpose-lsrge Indian OF whalers. Ii
buo uoSu OtiIONtCu.iO ilO ChipiVyiuVut VI
equsdrons TO exierminate that trade, thai
their interference has increased It's enor-
nifty. This, however, is doing honor 10
the old Gnineamen such rs .hey BY Nc
means deserve. II is, ia fact, an infer
ence, in favor Of human nature, implying
that man who has impuni'y and leisure
10 do evil, cgnnoi,in The nature ofshiogs
be so dreadfllly heartless in dong il as
those in whose track the avenger followi
10 ee.ze and punish. The fact, however
does not justify this surmise in favor o
impunity and leisure. II foyer there was
anything on earth, which; for reyolting
filthy, hearlless alroei,y, might make The
devil wonder and hellrecognzs IFS owr
likeness, then il was on any one Of the
decks Of an old SLAYER. Tho sordid Gu
pidity OF tho older, as il is meaner, wn'
also more callous than Tho hurried ruff
6anism of tho present age. In fact, 8
SLAYER now. has but one deck; in the last
century they had two or three. Any one
OF The decks of the larger vessels wai
rather worse, il this could he, Than The
single deck Of the btigs and schooner'
now employed in The irade. Then, tbs
number Of decksrendered the sufacstinG
