western Steamboat Commerce

From an article in the Western Railroad
J,,ana, we gather some interesting statistics.
There are about 900 steamboats, engaged on
the western lakes and rivers. In 1852 the
steam tunnage of the several western ports
amounted inthe aggregate to l54220tons. The
human movement by steamboats, for 1851 was
reported by Secretary CoRwIS. Excluding
feny-bcats and all modes Of transportation
except steamboats,, the aggre gate was estima-
ted at 2,O02, $50 persons. More than two mill
ions were IN 1851 moved by steamboats, on
the waters of the West, exclusive of the Lower
Mississippi. The number is much greater
now. AT that time the aggregase of human
movement in the West exceeded fivo mill
ions; now it is trebled by the railways.
The commerce of the Mississippi outlet
both ways is equal to one hundred and fifty
millions, the commerce of the Ohio valley in
steamboats, is equal 10 eighty millions, and
the commerce of the lakes west of Buffalo is
equal to two hundred millions. OF the lake
commerce probably not one-half is done in
steomboats. Altogether we may safety esti-
mate the value of commerce carried on in
western steamboats, at full three hundred and
thirty millions. Thus we have of steamboat
commerce in the West eight hundred steam
boats, of nearly two hundred thousand tons,
trayersing thirty thousand miles of coast, and
moving commerce valued at three hundred
and thirty millions of dollars

Explanation of Table Turning.
The Cincinnati Columbian furnishes Il


following remarks on this subject
But there is another class of experiments
in which, sometime it happens, that the
knaves do not participate. A party sit round
a tbale, with the palms of their hands resting
upon it, and when the body motionless, await
some movement in the table. Their intensity
of will is fixed and determined that the table
shall move. Ii does move at last; and the
startled neophytes jump up, still fastened to
the table, follow it about and continue mo-
ton, which their own muscles have impaired
to it. r.,-.4 -.tl-
This experimental effect is a simple one
and analogous experiments have been often
made by scientific persons long before the
medium hypothesis was ever thought Of
Nor is it produced BY any more prater-corpo-
raj agency than that which directs our daily
muscular movements.
The great increase in power of associate
strength, above the relative proportions which
that of each individual would bear to the
whole force, has long been known that is
the united power of six men, cxerted at the
same instant, will lift far heavier weight
than would be the sum of their power, if ex-
erted singly. If the six men were each capa-
Bile of lifting three hundred weight, the sum
of their strength would be eighteen hundred;
combined, they can lift several hundred
more.
1t is an old feat of the marvellous kind
that four men, with the little finger of one
hand may lift fifth with scarcely an effort
provided the FIVE breathe and lift together en-
surfing concert Of exertion.
This action and "pull altogether" of the
sailor, rest on the same principle-the in
crease of the neuro- magnetic power by asso-
citation. In what ratio this increase is, and
the manner of its multiplication, the science
of the electricity has not sufficiently advanced
to be determined.
Precisely, in the table turnings, the inten-
sity of the combined neuro or themo-
netic forces produces the result; yet in each
of those who compose the agent or circle, u
the almost involuntary action, obeying the
nerves, is 50 slight that most are ready to as
sert unconsciousness of having exerted it.

anger even Of the sovereign. The letter Of the
law was respected, but its spit violated, and
the Mutt persisted. So With our catholic
citizens they will not be beheaded, only
pounded to death by the unrelenting blows of
MISGUIDED enthusiasm.
We have no faith in the parade of religious
liberation, made by the theological wing of
the order. Their liberation is like that of
Parson Thwackum in Tom Jones. The par
son was a great friend to celebration inreligion.
" But when / speak of religion" said he, g
mean the christian religion and not only the
christian religion but the protestant religion ;
and not only the protestant religion, but the
church of England" ~ -
We conclude our paragraph. by the irresis-
table weight of authority which belongs TO
the name and the craftsmanship of EDMUNS
BURKE. He is. addressing a member of the
Irish Parliament, on the propriety of grant
ing the elective franchise to Irish catholics,
who constituted three-fourths of the popula-
ton, and from whom much more danger
might of course, be apprehended than from
the insignificant minority in this country.
Il shall not detain you with the fear, or
pretence of fear, that in spite of your own
power, and the. trifing power of Great Bri-
tain, you may be conquered by the pope ;
or that this eOmmodious bugbear (who is OF
L rI. FL .
infinitely more use to. those who pretend to
fear, than to those who love him) will alb
solve his majesty's subjects from their allegi-
ance, and send over the Cardinal of York to
rule you as his viceroy or that, by the plen-
itude of his power, he will take that fierce
tyrant, the King of the French. and arm that
nation (Which on all occasions treats his holt
ness saxery politely with -his-b bulls and par
dons, to invade poor old Ireland, to reduce
you to poPery and slavery, and to force the
free born naked feet of your people into the
wooden shoes of that arbitrary monarch. /
do not believe that discourses of this kind are
held, or that anything like them will be held,
by any one who walks about without keep

nature, / am most afraid of the weakest rea-

The Daughter in Sickn ess.

In no situation, and under no circumstances,
does the female character appear to such all
vantage as when watching beside the bed of
sickness The chamber of disease NAV, IN
deed, be said to be woman's home.u We there
behold her in her loveliest, most attractive
point of yiew-frm, without being harsh; ten
der, yet not weak active, yet quiet; gentle
patient, accomplishing, vigilant. Every sym
pathetic feeling that so peculiarly graces the
feminine character, is there called forth, while
the native strength ofmind, which has hitherto
slumberel in inactivity, is reused to its full
lest energy. With hoiseless step she moves
about the chamber of the invahd-her list
ening ear ever ready to catch the slightest
murmur-her quick, and kind glance, to in
terpret the unuttered wish, and supply the
half-formed want She smooths with careful
band the uneasy pillow which supports the
aching head, or with cool hand soothes the fe-
vered brow, or proifcrs to the glazed and par
ching lips the grateful draught happy if she
meet one kind glance in payment Of her labor
of love. Here, too, is the low whispered
voice, which breathes of life and hope-of
health in store for happy days to come; or
tells Of better and of heavenly rest where nei-
ther sorrow nor disease can come-where the
dark power of death no more shall have do
minion over the frail, suffering. perishable
clay. Through the dim, silent watches of
the night, when all around are hushed
in sleep, it is hers to keep lone vigils, and to
hold communion with her God, and silently
lift up her heart in fervent prayer. for the pro-
lOngment cf life for which she cheerfully
sacrifices her own And even whenex harst-
ed nature sinks to brief repOse, forgetfulnesS
is denied. Even in sleep she seems awake Ia
this one great object of her care. She starts
and rises from her slumbcrs, lases her droop-
ing head, watches with dreamy eyes the ia, G
she loves, then sinks again 10 rest to start with
every chime of clock or distant sound, which
formerly had passed unheard, or only served
