From the Edinburgh scotchman, Feb. 20

FROM the EdlnDurgh Scotchman, Feb. 20
Yesterday evening Mr.. George Daw.
son, of Birmingham, lectured in the
Queens street hall to the members oil
the philosophical institute on America.
In the oustset he referred to the
strength of the English in the United
States, where it was settled that on
language, laws, and literature would
forever be dominant. He had seen
nothing in American institutions he
would very much like to import, but
nothing certainly of which they need
be ashamed. The loud-b FASTING Yam.
kee hardly existed; the American gen
tleman was as cultivated and refined as
the English gentleman, and what were
called the common people we're vastly
better, with less rudeness, boorishness
and vulgar self-assertion than in this
country. The Americans were jealous
OF one another, and the consequence
was that the manners of the lower
classes were far finer than in England
or Scotland, and from one end of the
Union to another a woman might travel
without trouble or insult. The rapid
and extreme changes of temperature to
which Americans were liable told in
many WAYS, not only on their constitu-
tions, but on their institutions :
and thier climate tended to pro-
duce that brassy sonnd and nasalty
with which they spoke English. The
people were thinner-skinned, more ex-
citable, and less satisfied, less quiet,
more restless, and more versatile than
Britons. They were proud of their
free schools but the difficulty was how
far education should go. There was an
absence there, as here. OF any intelligent
teaching of the principles of political
economy, and the consequence was that
some of the laws of trades were worthy
of the middle ages. But, on the whole.
the schools were goodwill built, well
attended, and well taught, with a little
tendency, perhaps, to routine. The
America of the future must be in the
west, and the seat of empire in the
Mississippi valley. There were excel
lent low and high schools for the blacks,
but he did not believe that education
would make the negro a useful citizen.
Negroes could never stand against the
Chinese as laborers but what was to
be done with them he did not know.
The peril besettirg America just now
and it was a danger as great as any
which threatened the country during the
war-was how to restore the prepon-
derance of the whites in the southern
states without taking away from the
negro what they were obliged to give
him-the franchise-or reducing him
back to bondage. The curse of Amer
lea was its utter unspeakable political
corruption. Washington was den OF
thieves, where the senator was bought
and the legislator bribed; and the
whole thing was the biggest jobbery
this world has ever yet seen. But he
believed that corruption would be yet
cured, as it had been in Great Britain,
and he saw nothing to prevent America
becoming the greatest nation, aud the
wonder of the earth.

PATENT MEDIcINEs.-Ther are some
good patent medicines 70 intelligent
man dare for a moment deny and pre-
eminent is the great California hero
medicine. Vinegar Bitters, discovered
by DR.. J. Walker, a prominent physi-
clan of San Francisco. This medicine,
although called Bitters, is not to be
classed among the vile ''fancy drinks :"
recommended and sold over the bar by
rum-venders, bnt is a combination ef
pure herLalistic extracts, known to
possess sterling medicinal qualities,
and is compounded without the use in
any shape of spirits. Its action upon
the internal system is not stimulating
to the extent that alcoholic poison is,
but at once attacks blood-impurities,
aud by removing the original cause de-
stroys the germs of disease and invites
returning health. Its action upon the
stomach and liver render it an almost
certain specific in the most stubborn
cases of dyspepsia, and in truth inn
parts new life and vigor to the whole
system. It is one OF the best medi-
cines ever invented.

The Pipe.

Julian Hawthorne says in his "Saxon
Studies :" "The goddess Nicotine has
a fund of good sense, which prompts
her, as general thing. to put a smile,
either broad or latent, il to the carving
of her pipes and cigar holders. The
material ID more beautiful than either
marble or porcelain, and is delightful
to work in. A man of leisure, educa-
ton, and refinement might benefit both
himself and the world by devoting his
whole attention to cutting and polish
ing meerschaum. There is unlimited
field for inventive design, for taste, for
humor, for manual skill and delicacy.
And now pleasant to reflect that each
pipe, over which we thought and Ia
bored our best, will become the bosom
friend of some genial appreciative fell
low, who will discover its good points
and be proud of them and love them !!
For all good smokers are married to
their pipe are sensitive to its critics
and jealous of it's rivals. And when
the pipe is worthy of affection it en-
dears itself ever more and more aud,
though it be colored black with mic
otine, is tinged yet more deeply with
the rich essence of mellow reminiscent
ces and comfortable associations. The
Viennese co their work well, and per-
haps have special hack at it. There
Was once, in this window which we are
now contemplating, Skye terriers
head, about the size of clinched fist,
with mouth half open and hair on end,
which only needed a body to begin
barking. 1t was bought by a Scotch
man for twelve pounds, which, if the
animal was of the true meerschaum
breed. was dog-cheap. The question
of commences. by the bye, is one
which every tyro believes he can settle
at a glance. There are, he tells you,
few simple and infallible tests easily
learned and readily applied; he talks
about weight, tint, texture, sponginess,
and assures you that if you are ever
taken in only your own carelessness
is to blame. It is a fallacy from be-
ginning to end. There is no way of
telling a meerschaum except to smoke
it for at least year. We may amuse
ourselves with applying tests, if we
like, but they will demonstrate only
our faulty. The dealer is as impo-
tent to decide as anybody, so far as
Judgment by inspection goes, unless he
be prompted by the maker. But even
the maker will be at a loss between
two pipes, the history of whose making
he has forgotten. We might go back
still farther, and ascribe the only trust
worthy knowledge to the Natolian mi
ner, who digs the clay out of the earth.
Meerschaum is like woman's heart-as
soft, as light, as brittle, and as enigmat-
ic-and only time and use can prove
it true ?"

United States Cotton Consumption.

The cotton crop this season is now
generally admitted to be fully 25O, 600
bales less than the supply which the
trade had calculated most of the season,
and half a million pales below average
high estimates. Opposed to the ele-
waiting influence this must necessarily
exert upon the market, is the falling oil
in consumption of the staple on this
side of the Atlantic. The latter ele-
ment is necessarily an uncertain one,
but yet is susceptible of approximate
demonstration.

A FAvoRrrE subject of speculation
among those devoted to the science OF
geology has been the state of the inte-
rior of the earth. and the source of the
high temperature observed at all con-
siderable depths beneath its surface.
Prof. Hopkins makes the interesting
statement, in this connection, that the
terrestrial temperature at certain depth
in each locality-about eighty feet in
England emains constant during the
whole year, being sensibly uhaffectt d
by the changing Temperature OF the
seasons. The same, of course, holds
true at greater depths but the lower
the descent, the greater is this invariable
temperature, the increase being proper
tional to the depth and at the rate of one
deg. Fab. for about every sixty or seventy
feet. Prof Hopkins says that, assuming
such rate of increase to continue to
the depth of fifty miles, temperature
would there be reached about twice as
great as that necessary to fuse iron, and
sufficient, it is supposed, to reduce
nearly the whole mass OF the earth 8
solid crust to q state of fusion. From
this is derived the opinion of many
geoloeists that our globe does really
consist of solid shell, not exceeding
forty or fifty miles in thickness, and an
int rior fluid nucleus, maintained in
state of fusion by the existing remains
of the heat to which the whole terres-
trial mass was originally subjected.
