The Levee Railway. :

The levee railway question was not touched in the
Board of Assistant Aldermen on Tuesday evening.
We arc rather pleased than otherwise that it pass
ed oyer; for we are in favor of the fullest and most
searching investigation before the matteris finally de-
cided either way. While we warmly advocate the
proet we obectto haste. The matteri one of great
importance, present and prospective, and should be
taken hold of and considered in an enlarged spirit of
municipal craftsmanship seduously guarding and pro-
tecting the interests of the people and corporation in
all respects, WHILE at the same time, the stipuations
of the contract should not be so stringent as to deter
men Of means from embarking in the enterprise.
We are among those who believe mighty, glori-
Gus commercial future awaits the city of New Or
leans, and we expect to live to see the day when her
population shall be doubled and her commerce trebled
when what are now considered suburbs shall be
thronged with dense and industrious population ;
when we shall be crowded in the upper, lower and
middle districts, and when the hand of enterprise
shall have reclaimed rendered valuable and populous
much of the dismal swamp that lies between the city
and the lake. croakers to the contrary notwithsand-
ing.
1t is in view of improvements like these-advances
and increases like thesc--we would have the leyce
railway contract sold.
That it would pay handsomely from the very mo-
ment it commenced operations there is not shadow
of doubt; and q doubled or trebled business would
cause it to yield enormous dividends. These consid
erations add value to the contract which will readily
strike every business man. and should lead TO precau
tionary spulations for the government of the future.
The contract should be hedged round with simple yet
rigid regulations, sufficient to adequately protect all
the parties Interested

The bulwarks of the new steamer Fulton are made
entirely of wire. 1t is said that theyn only present
fine appearance, but are very strong and durable.
An advantage which they possess over common
wooden bulwarks, is that in case heavy sea should
happen to wash the deck, the water will disappear
Immediately instead of remaining on board, is the

We find in European papers mention Of an I'M
proved mortar, the invention of one Thomas Dunn,
stationer in Glasgow. The popularity of the inven
ton consists in the material employed, which is prn
cipay charcoal iron wire rolled fat, and coed with
perfect closeness and mathematical exactness round
an inner case gum which can be made of either cast
or other metal. Ordinary maeable iron is found in
practice to have three times the cohesive power of
cast ron but this charcoal wire is twice the strength
of malleable iron, and consequently six times the
strength of cast iron.

FRIDAY, APRIL A, 1856.



We have already stated that it is contem.
plated by the City Government to open Wa
ter Street from Chestnut to Broadway, ans
for this purpose the corporation has been au
thorized by the Legislature to borrow mon
ey. The Council have not yet acted upor
the matter, owing, we presume, to the fact
that SO many Of the aldermen are now alb
sent from the city on private business, that
it is almost impossible to procure the attend
ance of a quorum at meeting of the
Board.
There are many that honestly feel an in
terest in the prosperity of the city who are
opposed to this improvement; there are 9th
ers again-only few narrrow-minded men,
however-who oppose it upon extreme sell
ish grounds. But we hope, notwithstanding,
that the interests of all portions Of the city
will be harmonized, and that the improve
ments will be allowed to progress upon such
principles and plans as will do equal and ex-
act justice to our rapidly increasing trade and
commerce, as a rAole

About Lying.

4
Rev. E. II. Chaplin, in recent lecture OF
practical Life" hit off one of the prevail
| ing vices of so:iety-lying-in a very effec
tive manner. Here are couple of para
graphs: 500 p g as r.ae7
"Lies of action are blood relations to. lies
of speech, and oral lies constitute but small
share of the falsehoods in the world. There
are lies of custom and lies of fashion-lies
of padding aad lies of whalebone-lies of the
first water in diamonds Of paste, and I'M
blushing bushes of lies to which a shower
would give quite different complexion; the
politicians lies, who, like a circus rider,
strides two horses at once; the coquette's
lies, who, like professor of legerdemain,
Keeps six plates dancing at time-les sand
wiched between bargains-lies in livery be-
hind republican coaches, in all the pomp of
golden bands and buttons-lies of red tape
and wax,--lies from the lannon's mouth
in the name of glorious principles that might
make dead heroes clatter in their graves
Malakofis of lies, standing upon sacred dust
and lifting their audacious pinnacles in the
light of eternal Heaven.
"Need we say what an uneasy, slavish
vanity is that which won't let man appear
what he really is, but makes him afraid of
the world and himself, and SO keeps him per-
petually at work with subterfuges and shams
he is dissatisfied with natures character,
and so issues false stock. Oh, how much
better himself and the world for man to be
brave and true, to what God and unavoida-
BILE circumstance have made him-to come
out and dare say am poor, of humble birth,
of humble occupation, or don't know much!
What curse this righteousness would be
for social rottenness and financial earth
quakes How much purer and sweeter
those actual rills of capacity and possession
than this great brackish river, pretension,
blown with bubbles and evaporating with
gas-how much better than this splendid
misery, these racks and thumb-screws that
belong to the inquisition of fashion, and thou
sands of shabby things-the shabbiest of all
being those who are too proud to be seen
Just what they ares"
