The New York Legislature has before it bill pro-
hibtng children from visiting theatres without their
parents or guardians.
1t is said some babies so small they can creep
into quart measures. But the way some adults can
walk into such measure is astonishing.
Two men were arrested in Philadelphia, on Tues

Syeio-driUer.
1t has been said that the difference between sue

and the other misses his kiss.
The negro slave Robert Butts. the sexton, who
buried 1859 victims of the yellow fever in Norfolk,
Va has appealed to the citizens of Philadelphia for
assistance to purchase his freedom.
A French newspaper states that Count du Chatel
of Paris lately bought his wife quantity of jewelry,
of which one ruby alone cost eighty thousand dol
lars pretty present, certainly.
A New York rural paper pays rather questiona-
BILE compliment when it says of the local editor of
contemporary:
"Mr. Brown is a clear thinker, ready and vigorous
writer, and first-rate fellow-to 6oot.n
Two centuries ago not one in hundred wore
stockings Fifty years ago not boy in a thousand
was allowed to run ut large at night Fifty years
ago not one girl in thousand made waiting-naid
of her mother. Wonderful improvement in this
wonderful age.
Alta social gathering in New Bedford, on Monday
evening, young lady actually won wager by keep
ing her tongue still for ten minutes! We are pre-
pared to believe anything now.
The question, "why printers did not succeed as
well as brewers!" was thus answered :-"Because
printers work for the head and brewers for the stom
ach, and where twenty men have stomachs, but one
has brains.n
Mohammedans say that one hour of justice is
worth seventy years of prayer. One act of charity
is worth century of eloquence.
The London bankers state that there would be paid

"0LD JouN BRowS," who has recently been
engaged in liberating slaves on the Missouri
border, and has consequently had the hounds
of the Administration on his track, writes to the
Tribune that the men who are hunting him
and his associates are very inconsistent in their
modes of executing justice. The outlaw and
rufian, Hamilton, who attempted to kill eleven
innocent men, shoemakcrs and farmers, and
succeeded in killing five of them, without prov.
ocation, is quietly suffered to escape, and no
effort is made to recapture him. But if "Old
Brown" plants his brogans over the line, and
insinuates to haifdozen slaves, who are about
to be sold, that they had better cut and run,
"all pro-slavery, conservative, free State, and
doughface men, and Administration tools, are
filed with holy horror" and start in the pur.
suit. Mr.. Brown should not complain in that
way. The safety Of our institutions must. be
regarded There isn't "nigger" to be
spared.

DECIMAL WEIGHTS, MEASURES, AND CUR
RENcY, those great facilities for the transaction
of business, we believe are destined, before
long, to become universal in civilized and COM
mercial communities, in spite of the conserva-
tism, prejudice, and force of habit, which are
arrayed against them. Of this, we have just
now a pleasing evidence. In the Liverpool
Corn Market, new weight, called the "Cen-
tral," equal to one hundred pounds avoirdu-
pois, has been agreed upon, and is, with its
decimal parts, to be adopted Exclusively in all
transactions in grain, -four, and meal, in that
market after the first of February. In Hull,
the GENITAL has also been adopted for those arti-
Giles, and for seeds also; and Wakefield and
Leeds are expected to concur in the movement.
1t will, undoubtedly, before long, become gen.
eral in all the principal markets of Great
Britain. NtfE ffN

Correspondence of the Spy.l
THE MANUFACTURING INTEREST.

1t is a commonly received opinion that one
principal cause of the frequent depressions of
this interest, is to be found in its too rapid
growth and expansion. But from a careful ex-
animation of the official statistics published in
the Patent Office Reports, l find that this opin-
ion is entirely erroneous. Agriculture, Manu-
features, and Commerce, have always been
called the three great pillars of our national
prosperity, each equally essential to the steady
support of the superstructure. From the above
Reports it appears that while Agriculture and
Commerce have advanced with giant strides
and grown to colossal dimensions, Manufac-
lures have remained for the past twelve years
nearly stationary, and, in comparison. been
dwarfed into puny and insignificant proper
tons. Hence the superstructure is in constant
danger of topping down from the failure of
one of its essential supports.
For example, compare the growth of the Cot
ton growing with that of the cotton manufac
turing interest. In 1916 the crop was l,778,-
900 bales, in 1852, 100000 bales, an increase
of l,622,000 equal to 80 per cent in six years
1t is estimated that the crop of last year will
reach four million bales.
The annual manufacture is shown by the
number of bales used in this country, as fol
lows:

DEATH OF THE VICTIM OF LEGAL ERROR"
The Paris correspondent of the Boston
Traveller, under the date of December &c. fur.
nishes the particulars of the death, at the early
age of thirty-six of one who though entirely
innocent suffered seven years imprisonment in
the galleys, on charge of murder and arson:
=" The week carried to the grave broken
hearted man Poor Lesnier's history is a sad
one: The Both ofJune, 1S48, he was tried, con-
victed, and sentenced to the hulks for life, as
being guilty of murder and arson. He was in
the hulks, treated as a convict for seven years,
when il was discovered that he was innocent
Of the crimes, the true culprit having confessed
his guilt The Government did every thing
they could to atone for the error they made
him Chief Commissary of Administrative In
spection of the southern railways, and gave
his father tobacco sellers place; but seven
years ofagony. seven years spent in conscious
innocence and proclaimed guilt, are too heavy
TRIALS for human nature, and the unhappy man
died a day or two ago, only thirty-six years
Old, and only two years since his Liberation.
instances of these mistakes are not unfrequent
IN France, where the Criminal practice is very
imperfect, aud the judge is made the prosecut-
ing attorney. But the French hold il is better
that ten innocent should suffer, than that one
guilty man should escape"

MASSACHUSETTS BOARD OF AGRICULTURE
The Massachusetts Board of Agriculture,
which commenced its last session in Boston,
on the 18th inst, met daily until the Dist, when
it adjourned until the I'd day of February.
The report Of the committee with reference
to the farm connected with the State Reform
School, and recommending another mode of
conducting agricultural experiments, was adopt
ed, and committees of the Board appointed
upon the renovation of pasture lands, root
crops, sheep husbandry, &C., &C., who are to
prosecute their experiments through farmers
in the various sections of the State. 1t is be-
lieved that this mode, if faithfully tried, will
prove an admirable means of increasing the
stock of agricultural knowledge.
BY the report of the Treasurer of the last
State Fair in Boston, it appeared that the ex-
penses Of the exhibition were balanced by the
receipts, and the contributions of guarantors.
Messrs. Brooks, Lewis, and Grennel, were
appointed to transfer the State Farm to the
Trustees of the Reform School, in any manner
they may see fit.
Messrs. Brown, Davis, and Bull, were ap-
pointed TO devise some way of preventing the
holding of more than one County Fair on the
same day
The committee appointed to draft bill for
the protection of sheep from the ravages of
dogs reported bill, and were authorized to 20
before the Legislative Committee on Agricul-
ture, and present the bill for their considera-
ton. 1t was stated by the members of the
Board present, that sheep to the value of $500
had, within their personal knowledge, been de-
stroyed in the Commonwealth by dogs, in the
course Of last year.
Messrs. Brooks, Lewis, and Atwater, were
appointed to petition the Legislature for $4,000
for the promotion of scientific and practical in.
yestigations, and to promote the general inter
ests of agriculture, by enlarging the museum,
collecting specimens, &C., said sum to be used

WASHINGTON, Jan 21.-In executive ses-
sion Of the Senate, to-day, an angry and excit-
ing discussion arose between Judge Douglas
and Senator Fitch, when words were used
which it is thought must lead to a duel The
debate occurred on the question of confirming
Potter Of Ohio as Collector of Toledo. Mr..
Pugh opposed Potter's nomination, as the man
displaced was his friend. He said if the Presi-
dent desired an issue with him (Pugh) he
was ready for it. He denounced the appoint
ment, and called upon every senator who was
his (Pugh's) friend to vote against it. Doug.
las responded, saying he would vote with the
senator from Ohio. He then branched off on
to the Illinois appointments, and said they were
dishonest, corrupt, and incompetent. Senator
Fitch Intercepted Douglas, and said twas I'M
true Douglas again reiterated what he had
said. Fitch again said it was untrue Cries of
order were then made. Douglas continued the
debate Fitch replied to Douglas with great
bitterness, and said that senators knew how to
prize anything coming from that quarter Cries
oforder were again made. Douglas then replied,
and was called to order. Motions were then
made that Douglas be allowed to Coon in order.
JEFF, Davis opposed it, and said, turning to
Douglas, he had listened with Indignation to
the language used, and it was that of n high
wayman and bravo The debate was contin-
ued some time, when II motion was made and
the Senate adjourned. II is said the lie was
given and most severe personal remarks made.

0E We called attention, Saturday, to the
remarkable story called In a Cellar" in the
February Atlantic Monthly. We understand
that there is quite an amusing little incident
connected with the authorship of the story. 1t
appears that it was originally sent to the edi-
tors under name entirely unknown to them.
On reading it, they were much impressed by
the ease and brilliancy of the style, and by the
perfect familiarity with foreign life which it
manifested and much curiosity was felt as to
the authorship. AT first, they thought that it
must be the production of some foreigner, per-
fectly acquainted with English--some accom-
plished man of the world, fresh from Paris. At
last, they began to suspect that it was, after
novelist, Balzac or Dumas. Yet, if this was a
translation, where was the original? At last,
they decided to hint their suspicious, delicatey,
to the unknown correspondent. This brought
an indignant reply, referring them to a literary
friend, also an Atlantic Monthly contributor,
who was then, for the first time, let into the
secret. Thereupon it came out, that this bril-
liant man of the world, so familiar with all the
minutia of foreign life, was, in reality, a young
girl, who had spent her whole life in New
England country town, and the knowledge of
whose gifts and requirements had been hither-
to confined to the circle of her private friends.
We understand that the young lady in ques-
ton is Miss Harriet Prescott of Newburyport.

a SwINDLING OPERATIoN.-On Thursday,
a man called at Chandler & Co.'s store, in Bos
ton, and purchased S144 worth of silk and vel
vet, and gave directions to have it sent to the
residence of Abijah Jenkins, and he would pay
when the goods were delivered The goods
were carried, as directed, by the porter, who
received in payment check on the Merchants
Bank, with the request that it should not be
presented before two o'clock The check was
presented at the bank at that time, when it
proved to be worthless.
1t has been ascertained that the fellow who
perpetrated the successful swindle was a Ger
man who called his name Chas. Durant, and
had engaged board at the house of Mrs. AbJah
Jenkins but few days previously. An indi-
yidual answering his description left Boston,
Thursday evening, by the Providence Rail
road, and it is probable that the rascal went to
New York
