GREAT BRTAIN.-There is not word

except the rumor cerrent in clubs, that
Great Britain intends so call Naples to
account and will make the recent insult Of
the Neapolitan police to an attack on the
British Embassy, the ground work of a

A Vile Forgery Contradicted Wi
son Shannon in Kansas.

The fusion papers are making great
cry over reported speech of Gov. SHAN
NON, on his arrival in Kansas, in which it
is said he advocated the establishment of
slavery in that Territory. This infamous
forgery, it appears, was got up for the
purpose of aiding disunion, negro suffrage
CHASE to q few votes in Ohio. 1t turns
out, however, to have been an infamous
forgery. and the perpetrators deserve the
imprccaitons of all honest men during
their future lives.
The St. Louis Republican contains a
true report of what Gov. SHANNON did
say, and it speaks for itself. CHASE and
his fusion, disunion allies must be hard
run when he has to resort to so bold a
forgery to cheat the voters of Ohio with
their despicable sentiments.
The ST. LOUIS Republican,, an old Wing
paper, favors the introduction of slavery
into Kansas, and would not likely have
correspondents to report false speeches
against itself Asan evidence ofhow things
are done out there, we can but state the
substance OF a letter we received few days
since from Young friend from Ohio, who
He says he is doing what he could against
the establishment OF slavery there, and

DUFF's MERCANTILE CoLLEeE, PTTsDURGu
PA.-During the last Is years. this institution
has attained such a reputation for efficiency of
training in Book keeping, .,.Penmanship and
other Commercial Sciences. that students at
tend it, not only from all the adjoining States
but are attracted from the remotest parts of the
Union. The class roll exhibiting names OF
Merchants and Accountants from Boston, New
York, Philadelphia Baltimore New Orleans,
St. Louis, Cincinnati, Iowa, Wisconsin, Cleve-
land, Buffalo, sc. Although there are numbers
of similar institutions in the country, they are
all conducted by persons who have little or no
experience in actual business. None of them,
so far as We are aware, have had any expert
ence in business above that of clerk. This
is therefore, the first institution of the kind in
the country founded and conducted by a Mer-
chant. For what is said by his Mercantile
friends in New York, of his abilities and stand
ing Merchant and ship owner, see circular,
page II. We have here the reason of the in
terest that is taken in his lectures, which are
applied not only to the abstract science of ac-
counts, but disclose with great clearness the
highest and most important of the Merchants
attachments executive management of the
most extensive business. 1t will, also, be seen
Circular, p. 81 that Mr.. Duff has successfully
applied his talents and experience in abbrevi-
ating and improving the forms of Merchants
Books. As an author, as a teacher, as a skilful
accountant, as an experienced merchant, capa-
BILE of giving sound and reliable advice in the
and foreign business, we have, in this gentle
man, combination of scientific attainments,
talents and experience unequaled by the con-
ductors of any similar establishment in the
country: and young men entering into bust
ness, who for small pecuniary saving, depend
upon teachers who have had no practical expe-
rience in business, will miss a valuable ele-
ment of success-the lessons of age and long
tried experience. And young men seeking
Commercial employment, win also miss their
best chances of success by not having the di-
ploma of an institution so extensively and so
favorably known throughout the country. A
near relative of one of the editors of this jour
nal started in life from the classes of this in
sttution. BY the superiority of his business
attainments, he rose till he was in receipt of
$1,000 year salary, before he was twenty-one
years of age and this success was attained
among strangers in distant part of the coun-
try.
In conclusion we may add that no "paper
professors" professors seen only in the adver-
tisements,) have ever been employed in this
institution. Those employed are in constant
attendance, and are all at the head of their re-
spcctive professions. Mr.. Duff pays the best,
and has the best in the Market. Mr.. Williams,
tho professor in the writing department, is un-
the best businessEand ornamental
penman in the United States. For further
particulars we recommend a careful perusal of
the College circular, a neatly printed pamphlet
of "a pages-Pitts6urgh paper.
