A meeting of the officers Of the various Boston
Banks was held the Let inst to consult relative to
the proposed Clearing House. The Constitution ana
BYLAWS before proposed were adopted, and the feel
ing seemed to be that the Clearinghouse would
speedily be put in operation. Some difficulty has been
experienced in arranging the preliminares, the
Suffolk Bank desiring to have the time OF settlement
later than 10 O'Clock the present time.

It is very rparent that there is in this city even
among those who profess hearty opposition to fl.
libusiering, strong sympathy for Walker, and a
disposition to help him olOpg, and to induce re-
cruifs to go out to join him. This isquite ap-
parent in the columns of some of our city journals
Take for example, an article on Ncaraguan affairs
in The Times of Monday. That journal is ey-
DENLY disposed to hold out Nicaragua as Offering

vtay affecting the interests of Northern laoorerS

the South The last thing we look tor al this
moment is an Irish.born Republican, though no
body Of our citizens are SO much interested In
eleyatipg upskled labor and the interests OF men
d, voted to the ruder and harder kinds OF work
The Irish will not believe in the men that desire
TO befrieud them. They take Southern tSrants and
Northern douehfaces to their hearts, and the result
is as we have SEEN 1t is the simplest transition In
the world for plantation Democrat, from killing
negro to kill an Irish waiter Both are equally servie
in bis eyes. Both belong to the lower orders. Both
are simply fit to obey any and every word without
answering back, or exhibiting the faintest sign OF
contumacy. Both are fit to be bought and sold,
chained. gagged lashed, hunted with blood-hounds'
tied TO the stake and roasted alive, according 10
circumstances-for such is the Democratic doc
trine of the year of our Lord 1856, If language mas
not lost all meaning with such oracles of the South
as The Richmond Enquirer-which, as we have ai'
ready stated, afirms that Slavery should exist
independent Of race and color.
The South alone is as feeble as it is truculent;
the holders of slaves, in numbers sufficient 70

do not reach 100000. This includes women
and minors. 1t is therefore simply the alliance
with the Northern vote and with the Allesian
GUARD. as ever most to be depended upOn-which
so exalrs the Oligarchy whdt prompts equally
the successful murder cf the waiter Heating and
the murderous assault Oh Sumner. Both are part
aud parcel of the same system. Both have COM
mon origin. Both are indebted to the same Celtic
alteration. So long as handful OF ollgarchs can
rule at Washington, the supremacy OF Violence aud
crnelty will be maintained. Labor will be de-
spsed and arts will cease to soften hearts anu re-
strain hsrds The Christian creed, the gentle soul
of the nineteenth century, are both yaueless In

The Cslt bandits. May We hope there is some
awakening political grace among our adopted fei-

cation to the evil powers of slavery and savagery is
spproaching an end, and that they will be found
ranging themselves in the ranks Of liberal policy
and enlightened patriotism

at the cowardly and murderous assault of Bully
Brooks upon MIR. Sumner, took time to consider
with himself whether to interfere or not, and
finally concluded not to interfere, lest his doing so
might be misunderstood is certainly entitled TO be
set down as a very courteous indiyidual-hardly
less remarkable for that quality than Methuselaa
was for age, Samson for strength, Moses for meek
ne.s. Solomon for wisdom, or Job for patience.
But Douglas no doubt expects to get into the
New. Ene land primer as the personlhcation OF pru-
dence, side by side with Col. Green of The Boston
Post and those brother delegates Of his from Mas
.achusetts to the Cincinnati Convention, per-
sonfications of lickspitte meaDness illustrated in
their dinner invitation extended 70 the South Caro-
lima bully the night after the assault. Webave yet
heard of no competitors with Green and Company
for the distinction of the hight OF meanness; but
Douglas, we must say, is in decided danger of be-
ing cut out by Mr.. WashbuIn, Ex-Governor Of
Massachusetts,.
This Mr.. Washburn, as the people OF Massachu-
seits had no occasion for his services as Governor
for o second term obtained the place Of Law Lee
turer at Cambridge, from which Edward G. Loring
had been turned out on account Of his connection
with the surrender Of Burns-an appointment, We
must say, not very honorable TO the Corporation
that made it DOR the Board Of Overseers that con-
frmed ii, and of which Mr.. LOriDg might justly
complain, since Washburn, who was Governor Of
Massachusetts at the time, was hardly less Disgrace
fully implicated in the surrender of Burns than
Loring himself. II was indeed alleged BY some Of
those who voted against LOrng that he was only
tbrd.rate lawyer and no ways qualified for the
place; as TO which we shall only observe that We
are not aware of any material difference in those
respects between him and his successor.
And now for the competition between Washburp
asd Douglas as to the palm Of prudence. An in
digration meeting having been called at Worcester,
where Washburn lives, in his character of an ex-
Governor he was twice over invited to attend, pre-
side and speak; but, like Douglas, instead Of act
ing on tie impulse OF the moment, he took the
matter into consideration, and like him he decided,
after consulting with friends, not TO interfere be-
VOID escorting a female member of his family to
the meeting, lest by doipg so he might compromise
AID commit the Law School with which he was
corrected! The people Of Worcester showed their
want Of appreciation Of this refinement ofprudence
by receiving the announcement of it with Kisses;
ard bis colleague Professors in the Law School at
Cambridge have shown theirs by annexiDg their
names to a call for an indignation meeting 10 be
held ia that town. Governor Washturn is die.

mated as the nvertbrate imals OF Massachusetts,

arc every brutal scoundrel who chooses 10 assume
to himself the censorship Of their debates, on the
other hand, in consentiDg to denounce the assault
as breach Of privilege, and in turning Brooks
over to the House to be dealt with as criminal,
the majority Of the Senate are guilty Of piece Of
meaDpess and cOwardice which outdoes, ifpossible,
even that of Bro, ks himself
Brooks in this matter acted NOT for himself, nor
yet, as be pretended for his uncle, nor for South
Carolina. He was the volunteer bravo of tho
S. sna'e; and be did that ard that only which the
majority Of the Senate have been stimulating some
body to do for some four years past. For four
years past, Southern Senator'S one after another,
have Nreatened Mr.. Sumner on the floor Of the
Senate with personal violence if he did not hold
bis tongue on the subject Of Slavery. The whole
tenor of their replies to him has been to stir up
some ruffian to do that which Brooks did. Doug
las TOOmbs, and several other Senators, by their
conduct on the OCCASION showed that they regarded
Brooks as their champion; and now these miser-
able cravens these accessaries to the outrage Of
Brooks both before and after the fact, seeing the
light in which the act Is regarded and the storm it
has raised, disavOw the man who acted at their in
stieation and deliver him over to the House to be
punished thus showing that their lack Of regard for
the Constitution of the United States, for the priv-
leges of the Senate, and for the decencies of civil
lied society, is well matched by meanness and
cswardice in leaving another to bear the conse-
que nces Of an act which they themselves have stim
uated and iDstgated.

We have seen that the production OF Iron re-
ceiyed it, first decided impulse from the discovery
Of the process OF making the earouret or pig metal
about tie 18th century, but that the product
nevertheless continued Insignificant down to
l74O. The reason for this is found in the insult
cheney or rapid destruction of fuel. As yet, char
coal was the only feel employed in or supposed
adequate to the reduction of the stubborn ores;
ard q modern furnace using charcoal would
sweep county clear of wood in q dozen years,
and then be compelled to suspend operations for
want Of fuel Dud Dudley, an Englishman, was
the first successfully to apply mineral (bituminOus)
coal to the work Of smelling; but the value of this
important discovery was very tardily appreciated
In 1850 its merit was acknowledges and in 1850
the first blowing cylinders were erected, whereby
single furnace was made to yield LOCO tuns Of
metal per annum, or thrice the prodoct OF char
coal furnace of equal capacity. In 1873, the total
product Of Great Britain had risen to 6S, 300 tuns
