Bless & BRAKES PATENT SMOOTHING IRON
Mr.. Bless. the patentee, left at the residence
of one of the publishers of this paper, his new
patent smoothing iron, for the purpose OF having
il thoroughly tested on all articles OF clothing
usually washed and ironcd in a my-from the
finest handkerchief to the heaviest bed quilt.
After having ample practical experience in using
IT, we have no hesitation in saving that it Is the
simplest and also the most perfect invention for
the purpose that has yet come under our notice.
IL is very little larger than the common smooth
ing iron, and so light that child can use it with
ease. 1t is heated with about "A handful of char
coal and can I've kept at any temperature that may
be required, and can be taken either out of doors
and used in the open air. or TO any part OF the
house that is most pleasant, thereby, being not
only more comfortable but much less expensive
than the old mode of ironing. We consider il a
valuable invention and one that we can cheerfully
recommend to the people OF this city.
We understand that these irons are kept for
sale Mt the hardware store of y. ID. Wood, I'll
East Washington street, and at the residence of
Mr.. Bless No. l6s North New Jersey street.

ST. JOINS, n. F., July 1.-THE steamer
Norwegian, from Liverpool the 81, via London
derry the 4th, was boarded off Cape Race at IL
O'Clock to-day.
The shipping at Liverpool on the 4th of July

Lord Palmerston in the British Parliament,
reiterated his declaration against the feasibility
of mediation ut present He contends that what
is wanted in order that the war may come to an
end Is, that each party be brought to apprehend
its real interest; when that is seen. nothing will
prevent the conclusion of peace; but every word
spoken in high places, tending to foreign inter
venton, delays this consummaton.
The Paris correspondent of the Times says:
Dissatisfaction with Mexican policy is openly
expressed. and letters from Mexico convey the
same feeling. Lorence's official report of the
Gaudaloupe affair admits his defeat, owing to
illusions and false information.
The Times has an editorial on Independence
Day. and points out what should be the tone OF
the American oracles under the existing circum-
stances.
The Times, in leader on American affairs,
SAYS:
Four main armies have advanced into Confed
crate territory, and half dozen expeditions have
fastened themselves the coast, yet the South
remains unconauered Is is demonstrated the
FeGerals can only effect their purpose by gigantic
expenditure, far more lavish than that OF the
past twelve months. What becomes of the IA
nous Declaration of Independence, and the the
DRY that a government derives its powers from
the consent of the governed? The North now
talks of conquest, ccn6scation. and military col
ones, with all the readiness of an Austrian com
mandant; but unless the North see the only
policy which is agreeable to wisdom and justice is
to let the South 90, it must bring evils untold on
itself, u.s. and on our European people.
The Times, in article on the future supply
of cotton, says:
IL all has not been done which should have

not upon the Government, that the manuiactur
ing interests should look for remedy.

NV YORK, July l0-The Tribune says the
President returned TO Washington last evening.
Nothing official has transpired as to his action
while with Mcclellan. Our letter from Fortress
Monroe says he went to see for himself and learn
what changes il any, were needed. That all was
going on satisfactorily. The troops were well
rested and ready for another fight. The new po-
stion is impregnable and the roads to Richmond,
nineteen miles by land, dry and favorable.
The Burnside rentorcements have all gone up
the river. They are in fine health and spirits,
splendidly disciplined and efficient. Burnside is
an intimate friend of Mcclellan and will be next
in command.
Another correspondent learns that on the ar
rival OF the President at Harrson's Landing, Gen.
Mcclellan with several other military gentlemen
visited him on board, after which the President
and the General held a private conference for
half an hour. They then proceedei in an ambu-
lance to Gen. Summers headquarters, when they
took horses and visited the entertainments.
The President briefly addressed the soldiers.
He said he had come TO see Tor himself and to
know the situation of affairs, and that he should
90 back satisfied 1t was said they had been
whipped. Ii was not so, and never would be.
He knew the men he saw around him would prove
equal to the task before them, and never give up
without going into Richmond He had been un
able to sleep for anxiety. but after what he had
seen and heard he should go back to Washington
satisfied that it Was all right with the army of the
| Potomac. He declared his confidence in the army
and its commander; in all the men and all the
officers who were all alike deserving of the con
hdence of the country. The party continued
their ride along the lines. and at 9 clock in the
evening returned to headquarters. after having
been in the saddle seven hours. On Wednesday
morning, after a conference at headquarters, the
| President started on his return.
The Herald's special says:
| The President is satisfied that affairs on the
Peninsular are in much better condition than bav e
been reported. He gives credit to Gen. McClel-
Ian for having in no way exaggerated facts. He
has seen for himself the necessity for reinforce
ments, and returns with the conviction that Nc
Clellan is in his proper position, and that the ar
my is devoted to him, that he has full confidence
in his ability and that all he requires shall be
done without DELAY

to Henry creek where his position j. defended by
an almost impossible morass. IL was supposed
that the enemy would have been attacked yester.
