PLEASURES or READING.-Of all
the amusements that can possibly be
imagined for a working man, says Sir
John Herschelf, after daily toll, or in
the intervals, there is nothing like the
reading of a newspaper OF book: It
calls for no bodily exeftion, of which
already he has had enough, perhaps
too much. It relieves his home of all
dallnesss OF sameness. Nay, it accom-
panies him to his next days work and
gives him something to think of be-
sides the mechanical drudgery'of his
everyday occupation; something he
can enjoy while absent, and look for~,
ward to with pleasure. If | were to
pray for a. taste which would stand by
me under every variety Of cireumstan>
ces, and be a source Of happiness. and
cheeFfulness in life and a shield a.
gainst all its ills, however things may
90 amiss, and the world frown upon
me, it would be a taste for reading,

they increase and multiply does her

Mr.. NJ. o. Roberts, in a letter which We publish
herewith, controverts our opinion that the Contra
America was not 30 staunch as she should hsv
been. 1t is very natural that Mr.. Roberts shouli
view the matter as he does, and Just as natara tina
we should see it in different light. Nor do we
cons der the certificate Of her builder and the fact
that she was accepted BY Secretary Dobbin on the
report Of Messrs. Kearney, Bell and Skiddy, Of
much weight in the premises for this is a case in
which "the proof Of the pudding lie in the eating
and nowhere sl,e. The Central America was built

by any extraordinary and fortuitous disaster such
as running on rock, or being driven ashore in q
dark and bowling night, would have been. So far
as we can Judge from the facts before the public,
she was fairly WON out BY her struggle with the
elements, BY which her ssams wero at length 90

over FIVE bur dred precious human lives. In her

boats il adequate. Had these been what the public
Was Induced to believe them, the extent of fh's

but ~e think the original defect was in the sap
herself
We state these COZ illusions with regret, aud
without intending TO cast blame on any one. We
feel entirely Ifdent inst the Persia, the Baltic
or the Asia wonld have safely rode out the storm
which proved fatal to the Central Amer "a: if not,
they, too, are unfit for their work. We do not
take passage in an ocean steamer trusting her to
carry US safely il there be no violent storm; we
expect her to bring US to our voyages end In spite
of such storm. Human skill and foresight may
prove at fault, ard 50 wreck US on grave strewn
coast; but the chip herself-and especially ship
Of this class and character-is not expected TO
founder because the wind blows and the sea runs
high. II she should, by any mischance, spring
lesk, we presuue that she is supplied with pumps
which Will free her from any ordinary influx of
water from beneath; if che becomes wreck, we
utceIsisDd that she is supplied with life boats that
viii rot swamp and that adequate to the trans
pOrts,on Of all her passengers. In this case there
was ample time for preparation and deliberate ac-
ton ard the iDefhciency Of the pumps and the
pcspacty Of the bOats, are not justified.
1t idle-bay, it is miscbievOus if not b!asphe.

human sk could not have avertsd. This is to

Company for the defects now 30 painfully made
manifest; We shouid blame them, and with reason,
if they were to treat this disaster as inevitable, and

Central American teaches us that we must have
stronger and better steamships for the California
trade, for the passengers and treasure coming
across the Istbpus are too precious to be subjected
to any but the absolutely unavoidable mis-
cbarces If wooden ships cann1t be made
strong enough, We must have those made Of iron;
let US have them builtin water.tght compartments,
so that no single leak can scuttle ship; let her
pumps be tested at the outset of every voyage;
and let no ship take more passengers than she car

with Books which he only paid freight on, and sent
without seeing them to the City Hall Library, and
adding 50 per day for bis services a. correspondent

think Of estimating his letters as worth - per

per day. what has that to do with the amount of
bis compensation as Member Of Congress-

The Republican State Convention will assemble
at Syracuse day after to morrow and there is rea-
son to believe that nearly every County will DO
fully represented For weeks, our adversaries have
been assduously laboring to discussions in our
ranks, in which work they have resolved some aid
and comfort from two or three Republican presses,
vet their success has been slight. There will of
course be dversities of preference, and Con minor
points) Of views also, 10 so large and powerful an
aggregation as the Republican party of ew-York,
which numbers hardly less than Three Hundred
thousand electors. Where nomination is eqavs-
lent to an election rvalries will he keener aspira
tions more decided, than in forlorn hope; but
we are confident that nothing like divergency of
purpose will be manifested at Syracuse. II the
Radical Democrats now united in the Republican
movement are anxious that our State ticket shall be
free from every faint or suspicion of prodgalty
laxty in the matter Of public expenditure, they will
find the mass of the Wing Republicans quite as
earnest and hearty on that point as themselves.
If there be-as We do not believe there is-auy de-
sire on the part of the Democratic Republicans to
oct as in some respects separate organization the
Wing Republicans will say to them, " Be this as
"you please: Name for half the ticket the men
"you think most worthy, and We will concur
"heartily in presenting and supporting them if We
"inOw them to be such as you believe them. If
"any name be suggested on our side, which you
"know to be justly Objectionable, state the fact,
"snd you will not find US inquiring whether the
"aspirant came into the Republican organization
"fron the Wing or Democratic party, but only
whether his reproach is deserved; if it be, you
"cannot be more adverse to his nomination than
ave sze" In this spirit, the Democratic Repub-
licans will be met BY the Wing Republicans in the
State Convention; and this spirit will not only
brush aside ell the webs Of faction which our COM
mon adversaries have been so industriously spin
ming, but will secure US the strongest and best
State Ticket ever presented to the People Of New

afternoon. Frost still holds of, and the grow
