The Sea.:Wason.

Just the thing for the tines This is
the name Of an invention, the caveat
for which is already filed in the Pat
ent Office, by Mr.. Fulton. Of New
Jersey, and WHICH is to be, if success
full, nothing less than steamship,
propelled on rollers or wheels that
are to go oyer the water instead of
under it. The wheels are four hol-
low cylinders, Of boiler iron, air tight,
and forty feet in diameter. These
are to be strengthened by means Of
compressed air, forced into them by
an air pump attached to the main
engine. The inventor claims that
at about forty-four revolutions per
minute, his machine would be pro-
PEELED a mile, and undoubtedly tear
things and astonish even the sea-
monster. A letter writer says:-
He has on hand a working model Of
this machine, eight feet in length,
with six-inch cylinders, driven by a
small engine, that for diminutive
pattern, is one of the swiftest. 1t
was tried on the canal the other day,
and but for some intervening trees,
would have parted company with its
proprietor for ever. 1T pays no res
pect to sana bars or shalloacs, going O.
ger either. wiM equal facility" Good!
We hope soon to be rid Of this ever
lasting complaint of slow water now
so universal throughout the South
West.

Publishing the. Laws.

The Harrisburg Herald is down on
the Legislature for rejecting reso-1
luton to inquire into the expediencys
of publishing in one paper in each
county the laws enacted each session
of The Legislature. 1t says the legal
maxim that ignorance Of the laws ex-
cuseth no man, is an absurdity -when
no pains are taken by The Legislature
to let the people know what laws
have been enacted.
We approve the suggestion of the
Herald and we would invite the at
tention Of our contemporaries through
out this State to the subject. We
agree with the editor Of the Savan-
nah News that there is no means
by which the laws can be SO prompt
ly, thoroughly and cheaply dissemi-
ated among the people as by their
publication in the newspapers. We
venture to assert that the publication
Of the enactments of our legislature
in one paper in each county in which
a newspaper is published, would give
them ten times greater publicity than
is given by means Of their pamphlet
publication. For years past there
has been just cause of complaint Of
the manner in which the laws of our
State have been published. Many
months have been allowed to elapse
before the State Printer has issued
the pamphlets containing them, and
then much time has been consumed,
and heavy expense incul:ta in Civ
ing them only partial distribution.
If the contract for publishing the
laws and journals in book form, must
be reserved by our politicians as
party capital. to be dispensed for the
support Of partizan presses. the peo-
! pie have at least right to require
| that the laws should have some 9TH
er form of publication, in order that
they may acquaint themselves with
the provisions of the statutes to which
they are required to conform. For
this purpose no better plan could be
adopted than the one proposed above,
and the press of the State owes it. to
itself and to the people to bring the
matter to the attention Of the legisla-
ture. ils

A New VERSION OF THE BIBLE
Kossuth has written a letter to the
Society of Friends in reply to their
Christian appeal for Peace at any
price, in which be maintains the me-
cessity of war in some cases, upon
scriptural grounds. He says the
version Of the Bible quoted by the
memorialists, which reads, "Glory to
God in the highest, on earth peace
and good VIII toward man." should
read, "Glory to God in the highest,
on earth peace to good-wishing men.

The Boston Dispatch Of a recent

The Boston Dispatch Of a recent
date gives the following, which il
seems to US should be classed as San
accident that might happen" instead
Of an actual occurrence. 1t says: :
"a young man, employed in the
post-office, lost the little finger OF
his right hand in a very singular man.
per this morning, through the instru
mentality Of a gold ring. In the
newspaper distribution department..
strong iron hooks are placed beneath
the boxes, upon which the mail bags
are suspended preparatory to being
filed. In hastily stepping down from
a box, upon which he had mounted
for the purpose Of arranging the pa.
pers, the ring accidentally caught in
one of the hooks, and the whole,
weight Of his body being suspended
by the unfortunate digital, the finger
was torn from the hand and fell upon
the floor, while the ring, drawn into
an oval shape, remained on the hook. y

THREATENED DlsMEMBERMENT OF
RUSSIA ScHIsM IN THE IMPERIAL FAM.
ILY.-The Paris Presse, having hint
ed at delicate discussion in Euro.
pean royal family, Gallignani lately
published the following facts, as il
from authority:
"There is serious schism in the
imperial family. The Grand Duke
Constantine disputes the right Of his
elder brother, the Grand Duke Alex
ander, to succeed to the imperial
throne-the order of succession laid
down by Peter the Great being the
eldest son of the reigning emperor.
When the Grand Duke Alexander
was born, his father was not emperor,
nor did he even stand in succession
to the throne. The eldest son, after
Nicholas became Emperor. is Con-
stantine, and he therefore claims to be
the rightful heir to the throne Of
Russia. 1t is in consequence of this
dissension, (says Gallignani,) that
the Emperor Nicholas resolved to
wait no Nnger for the accomplishment
of his views in the East. Dreading
a civil var between the two brothers,
after his death, he was anxlous to
fud the means of inducing his son
Constantine to withdraw pretensions
which have for partisans a large por
ton of the Russian nobility; and
nothing presented itself but the
chance of creating new empire Of
sufficient magnitude and Importance
to crafty his ambition. Hence the
determination to prepare measures
for the conquest of Constantinople,
and consequently, hence the difficult
ty ofconcessions to the Western Pow
ers, which would amount 10 the aban-
1onment Of the designs of the Gar
On Turkey"

MusKETs AGAINST SpADEs.-The
Gospel Banner says: "The United
States army numbers about ten thou
sand men, who cost the country last
year Sc, 525, 240for pay, subsistence,
clothing, etc. The Illinois Central
Railroad army numbers ten thousand
men, who receive from the Company
S3,700,000 per annum. In three
years they will make seven hundred
miles Of road, adding greatly to the
wealth of the State and the country.
In thi:ty years the United States
have spent $500, 100000, for which
they have nothing to show but some
old forts, guns. battered uniforms,
and Gemoralized veterans

An Extraordinary Family.

The Wayne County Wing says
that Ephraim Brown, who lived in So
dus, where he died about three years
ago, weighed 275 pounds, and was
nix feet two and half inches in
height. His wife weighed 200 pounds
and was five feet ten inches in .,.Aight.
These parents had fifteen children,
consisting of nine boys and six girls
When grown, the shortest boy was
six fee. one inch in height, and the
tallest six feet three and a half inch
es; and the average weight ofthe zine
was six feet one inch and a half
The average weight of the boys was
205 pounds. Six of them are living.
Three ofthem reside iu Wayne coun-
ty, two liz Onondaga county, and one
in Michigan. The average height of
the girls was five feet and eight in
ches, and the average wei ght $50
pounds. One of the girls is dead,
three reside in Wayne county, and
one in Michigan. The average time
between the births Of the children
was a trifle less than eighteen months.
Six Of the boys could turn scmersets
on the ground equal to the best cir
Gus performers. In several respects,
this is one Of the most remarkable
families of which we have ever heard.

4 Yankee offered the Contract to

lately offered broken down "Yan-

of the world, $4,000 to take Can
ton for them, and SIS, GOO to take a
small fort near Whampoa. The con-
tract;was accepted by this wander

have already paid a large amount in
advance and given security for the
balance! At last accounts, the en-
terpris;ng contractor had enlisted
about 800 scamps of all sorts, and
was waiting only for written authori-
ty from the Mandarins to lead this
Thermopylean band against city
