She loses custom from abroad and business is paralyzed at home. She loses her reverence for the laws, and her charaeler. In fine, without one single soul being1 the gainer, she is disgracod, corrupted, out of pocket to the tune of millions, besides havïng brought down a vast amount of odium on the country at large.- Cin. Herald. A SUBSTITUTEFOR STEAM. La Reforme, (n French paper,) announces that an operative at Ruel nenr Paris, has disco vered a substitute for eteam. The experiment is to be made in a few day on the Versaiües railroad. 'Figure to yourself,' snys the Reforme, an enonnous (doublé or drum,) wheel, fi ve yards in diameter, between the spokes of which you place a horse with liis rider. This large wheel being attached to four ordinary wheels placed on the rails of a railroad, it wül merely be necessary to turn the large wheel to make the carriage advance. But what motive forcé does the inventor employ? It is the horse placed in the interor of the wheel, and yoked, by menns of two bars of iron, placed perpendicularly under the axle. The horse by drawing, causes the wheel to turn, in the same manner as a rúense or a squirrel in a cage. In order to allow the horse to enter this singular wheel, it has been found necessary to dig an exenvatiori near the station-house, into which the horbe is let down. The inventor slates that 4e can modify his wheel so as to admit three horses, and that in such case, the heaviest train may be propelled along a railroad with a velocity even more rapid than caused by steam. 05 The circulation of the Cincinnati Weekly Herald and Philanthropist has attained to 4,000, and the proprietor, after many misgivlngs, has concluded to offer the paper to every subscriber who will pay in advance, at One Dollar. - This is the right principie for publishèrs and readers - a large business, low prices, and ready pay.I JL Remarkable Facf. - The Missionary Herald for June, containa a brief report of a speech made by Commodore Jones,of the U. S. Navy to a great meeting of the natives of Sandwich Islondi. He complimented them on the system of education established nmong theni and stated the following remarkable fact, highly creditable both to tiiem and the Amerioan missionaries under whose auspíces so inuch good has been accomplished: "At Monterey de California there are severa! Englisii and Americana intermarried with descendents of the old Spmiards; and they have children growing up around thcra. On rny inquiry as to their schools and rneans of educalion, judge of my surprise when the an8wer was. "Oh, we have to send them toihe Sandwich Islands to be educated; there they have good schools, herc we have none."-Cin. He raid. Chccrsfor the Printer Mayor. - Mayor Harper óf New York, seems deterrnined to signalize his administration by acts of public usefulness and munificence. His latest plan for the public good is the establishment of a splendid city bathing house to be open to the whole people. at the bare cosí of management. Such an establishment would bé an invaluable blessing. It takes a printer to devise largë measüres of' permanent usefulness to the people. Sueöess to Mayor Harper.

TrutJi and Love.- afn sure troth never lost any ihinjf by being spoken in love. I am opinión that a principal reason why we are not more of one mind, is that we are not more oí one heart, How soon they who feel heart to heart, begin to see eyetoeye! The way to think alike is first to feel alike; and if the feelingbe love, the thought will be truth. I wish, therefore, for the sake of sound docthat the bretbren will love one another.

Weaver of the bark Sandusky - whose departure from this port for the purpose of raising the ill-fated steamer Erie, was mentioned by us last week -has called on us to report progrese. By means of a diving bel!, cast at Predonia for the purpose at an expenee of $1,800, and weighing 4 and a halftons, he hassucceeded in visiting the wreek, ata depth of 63 feet, and got fairly to work on Saturday morning. - They have raised the best bower cable chain - 150 feet iti Jength, and oneoft.he best on the lake - and are now getting up two other cables. As soon as her shafts, nowfrom her sides so far as to be in the way of raising ber - are got out, the farig Rocky Mountain, now in port, will proceed to the spot, and aid in getting her up. The wreek was discovered, as Captín W. assures us, by means of a compa6s, rendered very susceptible to the magnetic attraction - the same by which the wreek of the Lexington was found. The inventor, a Mr. Chapin, who is now at work with the diving bell on the Erie, has likewise ascerteined the location of the schooner Young Lyon, sunk with railroad iron on board, some two years since. The company now engaged in this enterprise, also intend raising the schooner. - Bvffalo Jldvertiser. Education. - Thesystem of education pursued by Wm. Cobbett was a singular one. - He had a Jarge family of boys and girls. They wete never sent to school, and never made to read or study at home. Books and papers were lying abouf, and tbey saw their father reading and wriling, if they asked any questions they were answered - if they wished to learn they were taught. Their owri curiosity and emulation prompted them in ali Iheir ocquirements. Study becsnë their play. The result was that every one of the sons has writieh able and s'.dndard works, grammars óf different ïanguages, and each of the daughters has writen popular books upon some branch of domestic economy. There is but one thíng that diserves whipping, and that is disobediehce to resonable commands.
