The attention of the learned world is now en-
crossed, says the Independence Beige, by a new
invention, which promises to be of universal USE
funess. Mr.. Thomas, of Colmar, after thirty
years of hard study and assiduous labor, has at
last solved the problem of calculation by mech m
ism. His machine, which he has baptised "Arith
nometre." is applicable to the mechanical solu-
ton of all arihmetcal operations, from the sim
pest to the most complicated ones. This iDstru-
ment solves with the most infabe correctness,
not only the four rules addition, satisfaction,
multiplication, and divison-but Glso asoerans
the powers of quantities, extracts the roots of
numbers, resolves triangles, reduces ordinary
and decimal fractions, and defines the rules of
proportion, etc. Its rapidity of execution is such
as 10 defy the ablest cnlculatcrs. A mutiplica-
ton Of eight numbers with eight numbers is exc
cuted in eighteen seconds; n division of sixteen
cyphers through eight cyphers. in twenty four
seconds. The machineryis SO simple that, after
the expiration of five minutes of instruction, the
most ignorant head knows enough at calculation
to defy with its help all calculators, in rapidity
ami correctness. The "Arithmometre' is plac
ed in small light box, which can be easily car
,ied i'll pocket, and is so constructed that its
mechanism can scarcely ever be dernnged. 1t

The defeat Of the notorious Forney in his as
pirations to the u. S. Senate Is tho first of many
notifications which lie in wait for the President
elect. For years past. Forney has been not mere
ly the man Friday of Mr.. Buchanan-but his
custodian. counsellor aud guide. His prudence,
tact. and management engineered the Favorite
Son into the Presidency. 1t is not surprising
that this latter. in grateful appreciation Of this
service, should have striven with oil his power to
secure for Forney the coveted honor of u seat in
the Senate. But, it was written otherwise in tho
book of Fate, and the President elect. just as he
enters the court Of dominion and grandeur, has
his exultation chilled by this coun,erbast of de-
feat and disappointment. Doubtless, he will find
some other mode OF rewarding his faithful seryi.
tor, and consoling him for this disastrous issue
OF his ambition. For ourselves. we find but little
either to rejoice at or regret IN the result. We
believe both Forney aud Cameron 10 be corrupt
self seeking politicians personally unfit for, and
morally unworthy Of, the ilustrious honor Of II
seat in the Senate 1t only question of
whose success would be a greater shame to the
country and that we prefer not considering.

Ii appears from lnte number of the London
Times that from iSl5 TO l656 there were import
ed suoce ssveiy. year by year, into Brazil from
Africa, the following patches Of slaves: l7,i35
1905 22S49, 1853, 5O,32I, 56I72. 10000
$4,000. and 23,0O0 1t will be observed from
these figures that from 1912 TO lsi5 the slave
traffic, though apparently declining was, a, any
rate, stationary. whereas in ls46 it received an
extraordinary impulse, which for four successive
years nearly trebed its result. II is uunecessa-
ry to add that this increase conceded with those
legislative acts which opened the British markets
to Brazilian sugars.
In 1880, however though the sugar trade re-
tanned ell it's freedom. tho importation of slaves
fell to $4,000 scarcely onehaf its recent
amount-and In the next year tho returns were
more remarkable still. The figures, which from
lS49 had ranged from so 900 to $4,000, dropped
in 1851 to 3,2s7 showing decline in the
traffic to less than Que. fifth of the smallest
importation previously known. This decline
arose from a tardy. though sincere resolution of
Brazil to prohibit the trade
The trade of Cuba In this commerce, though
large in proportion to its extent of territory, is
absolutely much smaller than that Of Brazil
The number Of the slaves imported into this is
land during the ten years specified. were res
peotively. $500, 5000, 10000, 300, il9, ,i50,
l.500, $500, $500, 500 1t will be seen that
these figures presents singular and not very ex.
plicable contrast. from those extracted above
with the Brazilian features and that they indicate
some sources of encouragement and discourage
ment entirely peculiar.
In 1854 the traffic was exceedingly large; tn,
next year it suddenly decreased by more thar
four. 6fths; and in 1876, the very year when tn,
English sugar bills gave such an impulse TO the
trade Of Brazil, it declined to its lowest point
and almost, indeed. TO a nominal extent Neither
did il recover itself in IS47 or l945. when the
Brazilian dealings were SO large; while, on tn,
other hand, now that Brazil seems really desist
ing from the traffic, Cuba shows a very conside
rable importation-an importation, indeed. sur
passing for the lrs, time tina, of her r,a on tho
Southern continent.

The rupture between Prussia and Switzerland
on the N-ufchatel question has apparently reach.
ed a crisis which the most skful diplomacy of
tho other European powers who are interested
in preserving the peace will scarcely he able TO
heal Under these circumstances. the public
mind begins to speculate on the probable results
of war between the Prussian monarch aud the
Swiss republic. The disparity of force Is very
great While Prussia has population OF more

Switzerland hasa populations Of less than two

Friday Morning, January I6. 1857.

During the last presidential canvass, we heard
much about the unexceptionabie course OF Cath
olics with reference to the Institution OF slavery
The communication bestowed seemed at the time
To he merited. but inasmuch as no reason was
ASSIGNED or known TO exist. in the philosophy of
ithaca vhv Catholics should be more exempt than

most omai prevalent at the North. and, inasmuoh
further as the adherents Of the Catholic faith are
for the most part foreigners, who brought with
them from abroad an inveterate land inerajioable
prejudice against the peculiar institution Of the
South, We could not help distressing the perma-
nenoe, and reliability of their principles and
course Of action with regard TO the matter And
we regret to observe that the fears we have en-
tertaiued seem about to be realised without ion
ger delay. A critique in the Richmond Enqnr-
er on an article in the last number OF brownsohs
Review gives us to understand that the work OF
AGITATION has commenced in the Catholic Church:
The other papers" isays the Enquirer) ''are
well worth reading-a compliment, however,from
which we must except the article on slavery and
