HARD TIMES IN THE NoRTH.-Some of the North
ern papers, particularly those of New York, are be-
coming apprehensve that the frequent meetings held
by the poorer classes who are sorely distressed by
the hard times, may lead to state of things that
will be greatly deplored. These meetings are said
to be too often addressed and controlled by men who
urge the most extreme measures, and who, if their
words to be relied on, would not stop at high
way robbery to carry their ends If these things
continue we may expect to hear of second edition
of the great -four riots which took place in that city
several years ago, The municipal authorities, how
ever appear to be doing ali in their power to pro-
vide for those in want and to provide for por-
ton of the Industrious The ladies of the Home Mis-
sion in New York have also issued stirring appeal
on behalf OF the poor at the Five Points in that CITY,
They say
1t is we'll known to those who are acquainted
with that locality that hundreds of families have sold
pawned the last article of furniture or apparel 10
procure food, and now left on the bare floor with
out bedding or fuel, and not knowing where thew
may get the next mouthful to eat Persons in these
circumstances lmany of them sober, industrious peo-
ple,) are hrongng the Mission house daily, and from
stern necessity many denied relief This state OF
suffering is increasing daily, and the starving must Be
fed 1t will require not less than one thousand loaves
of bread daily to keep the destitute from suffering
with hunger"

WILMINGTON, N. e., Jan. 18th, 1856.
Mr. EDITOR 1t appears that the mechanics will
not get lien law passed this session OF the LegIsa-
ture on account Tin the first place) of its an,-repub
lican principles; and in the next place, that we have
the right to retain possession of personal property
until paid for. | grant that to be the case But,
build house vessel for man-make contract
with him to pay certain sum OF money at stated
tines finish my contract, and my last payment is
due-my employer takes possession OF the house or
vessel, and do not know of any law to prevent him
from doing, and assigns it to any creditor be plea
ses thereby taking my property to pay his debts
Now, all we want Is aw passed to secure Us against
those who may be disposed 10 take the advantage
We have no power 10 make man give us mortgage;
but on the contrary, he can mortgage his house to
any iavore creditor, he may mortgage the lot on
which am building his house. and thereby depri We
me of at least portion of my labor and materials -
Now, lien law would give first claim on the
property, and that is what we want, and | think. in
justice ought to have; and believe North Carolina
is the only State that has not such law to protect
her mechanics from fraud
1t is very easy thing for those who do not have
to earn their bread by the sweat Of their brow talk
about foresight and judgement in business ransac-
TONS and about taking counsel from past experience
and all that sort of cold comfort.

STEAM-A Miracle.-Sr Ralph Woodford told us
that when his steamer first started, in Trinidad,
he and large party a mode of atronizng the
dertaking, took trip of pleasure in her, through
some of the Bocas of the man ocean Almost every
one got sick outside, and they returned through
the Boca Grande, there was no one on deck but the
man at the helm and himself When they in
the middle of the passage q small privaeer, such as
commonly infested the gulf during tie troubles in
Columbia, was seen making all sail for the shore of
Trinidad. Her course seemed unaccountabe; but

THIS was 50 strange sight, that Sir Ralph Woodford

he might discover the cause of ii. When they came
close the vessel appeared deserted Sir Ralph went
on board of her, and after searching various parts
withou finding any one, he al length opened little
caba and saw man lying on mat evidently with
some broken limb The man made an effort to put
himself in posture of application; he was pale as
ashes his teeth chartered and his hair stood end.
"Misericordia! msercordia! Ave Maria ~ faltered

PHILADELPHIA. It would seem that New
Orleans is not the only city in the Union
financially embarrassed. The Philadelphia In
quirer has the following on the financial condi-
tion Of that city:
Philadelphia never before presented such
melancholy spectacle Murmurs are uttered on
all sides and BY all classes. The city warrants
| are advertised by the brokers as bought and
sold below par, and deprecated currency of
this character to the extent of hundreds OF
thousands Of dollars has been issued All this
is lamentable; nay, it is disgraceful Not a few
of the city officers have been unable to obtain
payment Of their salaries, while the courts, the
| school-teachers, the police, and various other
departments of the local government are in 3
similar condition. We repeat, the public are
becoming impatient as we'll as indignant Phila-
delphia Is one OF the richest cities n the world,
and with resources every way abundant, and
yet her credit and her character are trifed with
through the agency of a disreputable squabhle
in councils.
FACTS FOR THE CURIOUS Thomas Jefferson

| 1926. John Adams died in his 9lst year, and
was eight years older than Thomas Jefferson;
