greetings of joy and the voice of grief, the rev.
olations Of empires and the lapse of ages, send
no sounds within that narrow cell Generation
after generations are brought and laid by their
side; the inscription upon their monumental
marble tells the centuries that have passed
away; but to the sleeping dead the long inter

with the quicllness of thought, the mind ranges
time and space almost without limit, there
is but a moment between the hour when the eye
is closed in the grave, and when it wakes to the

WHICH is THE BEST WATER WHEEL I.

WHICH is THE BEST WATER WHEEL:
In the " Scientific American," of April lst,
page 100, in the article on water wheels, are
the following words -" The class of motors
actuated dby PERCUSSION, termed Undershot Wheel
have very properly gone out of use, and will be
passed over without notice. Now sir | would
state, that on the stream in this place, there are
seven grst mills, all of which used undershot
wheels, from the time they were set in opera
tion until about seven years ago, when the
owner of the first mill, with q 7 #. fall, took
out the old wheel, (although not worn out,)
and put upa breast wheel; but it failed to
give as much power as the old undershot. Not
satisfied, he took it out and put up an overshot,
and for the same cause it shared the same fate
and then to be sure of being right, he next put
up q tur bine, which is now running at the
present moment, bat its owner asserts that it
also does not do rs much work as his old under
shot. His experience is certainly entitled to
respect. The millwright is still living who did
most of the work in five Of the mills, and he
owns one himself which has an undcrshot wheel.
If there is 4 wheel that will give more power
than those used here, there is plenty of capital
on this steam to try it. My father is the owners
of one of these mills When purchased, it was
driven by two turbines, but desiring to use the
very best wheel, he journeyed through various
States for forty days and spent $4O0, in making
examinations and gaining information on the
subject AT last he made up his mind to try a
new turbine, and had one constructed by Il
maker in the northern part Of this State. 1t
cost $4,000, and took Is months to get il in,
and must say ii does not do oae-fourth the

According to late intelligence from England,
another expedition is to be organized to explore
the country of the Niger. To follow that nigh
ty river to its unknown sources-to sow the seed
of civilization in the great region watered by its
tributaries--to supplant barbarism, misery and
paganism, with knowledge. intelligence and
Christianity, have long been favorite objects
with philantropists. We may concedo the in

Foreign manufactures less extensively dealt in
but the imports steadily decreasing and the
supplies here moderate there is less irreguarity
in prices. For some favore styles of continental aud
British goods, needed for immediate distribution, there
exists some inquiry from the jobbng classes, who
the only busy parties at present; but in general the
trade is dull and there is but little chance Of its be-
coming veer or more profitable during the remainder
Of this season.
The circular Of Mr. Isaac O. Davis of Cincinnati gives
he following review Of financial affairs in that city for
he week ending Wednesday evening, Nov. i, 1854
We have still to note very unsettled state in the
money market during the week which has elapsed
last issue The currency question continues to be
cne of most annoying character. The uncurren money
which has constituted the greater part Of the circua
lion, is OF course useless for purposes Of business
The issues Of Ohio banks have not for years been
adequate supply the necessities Of trade These and
those of the Kentucky banks were short time ago
slightly augmented and strong hopes were entertained
present tme these banks rather contracting than in
creasng their circulation. This is the case also, with
Of small notcs Hence we have the anomaly OF city
with abundant means, but adequate transferable
In consequence Of continued in currency
rates OF interest unsettled and there very few
regular transactions. However, quote first class
plus capital al ~ per cent while the ordinary rates OBJ
tanned by lenders range from to per cent per month
and thus from thirty to fifty thousand dollars worth
daily withdrawn from circulation.
The stock market from its dependence the tone Of
the money market, could not be expected exhibit
great degree Of buoyancy Orders however, continue to
arrive from the country and the feeling Of confidence
mentioned in last Is unimpared and transactions
only restricted by the pressure Of stringent money

Accustomed as we are to regard immense cotton
and wooien manufactures striking instances OF rapid
progress and development, too apt to overlook
the growth Of many other branches Of industry which,
though NOS extensive IN their character are still OF
vast Importance, and productive Of large amount Of
benefit to the laboring classes Of the country. Among
those minor branches Of industry which afford the
OF rcmuneratve employment none occupy more de-
served emnence than that Of the sewed muslin and
embroidery trades. While the results of the late
show that the cotton manufacture, In all its
branches including printing and dyeing afords en-
poyment 10 sol 900 persons of and all the
wo0ien manufacture, to 1871 00O worsted to 104 O00

ed upon the best data shows that In the united King
dom not less than $50 900 females find in the
muslin embroidery work So far, therefore, the
tual number Of employed concerned this branch
OF textile industry ranks next In Importance to the
great staple manufacture or tho country. Comparing
also this Kind Of employment, with what may be termed
the domestic occupations Of the people, the boot and
shoe makers and Ininers and dressmskcrs the only
ones which stand numerically higher. There are ga,
700 boot and shoe makers, and 267 600 miliners and
dfessmakers while has already been stated $50 900
persons bnd employ the greater proportion OF them
at their ov homes in cnbroidering muslin The prin

and western parts Of Ireland Ayrshire and other
