THE AGE. Iessrs;j Blilton Sandfrsand John Starr have at last succeeded wit their light: and a brilliant affiiiritT bave they lal: boiwltiHy antTperseverance weU meriting the re ward which purely will be theirs, toleVtliiralrtW".' invention. Nowailast their labors have ben followed with success meeting their highest expectations. We Kave had the pleasure of frequently witnessing tteir "ritiiKfT formed na chfnesrhaving for their objfet jhe production of this wonderful ligbt. I estpruay we were invi ted to attend the last one to Jbe made in the west. It proved successful Thef e experiments1 have been conducted with so much privacy, owing to particular circumstance tjat our citizens havjB as yet been as ignorant of the j inventor's pros pects as the citizens of Boston. The apparatus with which their light is majde is very,imall, so as to allow of easy transportation. But it may be increased to an indefinite extent, and with its enlargement is the increase in size of the light. From our own observations we should suppose the power of the light could; not be increased.- We never conceived of a liht more brilliant. Though but the size of a pea, it is sufficient to illuminate quite a large room, and forbids tne steady glance of the eye. " fThe blaze of a can dle twenty feet distant froni the apparatus, and three feet from the wall, casts upon the wall a thick shadow so much more brilliant 44 is the light " though not one twentieth the candle's flame. What will be the j power of this new light when increased to thesize of gas light We cannot conceive. At a distance the light looks unlike other illuminations throwing out most beautiful rays, which, finely colored spread magnificently from the bright and glowing cen tre. The inventors say they can make the light of different colors, and e ven alternately change from one color to another. The apparatus for producing thia illumination displays great Inge. nuity, and a thorough knowledge of that portion of science which relates to the principles they have so successfully applied, r j While witnessing that portion of its operations visible to the eye, we perceived a bar which was tolerably heavy and nearly a foot long, and ! can be made to revolve with swiftness sufficient to fling itself in spite of allr workmanship to the contrary, from its pivots. (It will go weeks with undiminished velocity and without assistance, once started, from man. This, we fancy, is an. approach to the perpetual motion. Cannot it be applied to locomotives, &e. t The inventors say without doubt it can I Truly this is the age of inventions. They say also, that this latter will in many things supercede j steam -the light will supercede many other artificial lights what next ? Once started, the light may be said there after to be of no expense.) 4The apparatus will notcost a very great amount. It may bo kept in one part of the city, and the light produced by connecting wires in another part. Or may be stowed away in the cellar or garret, as it is not affected by dampness, and wires be carried to different rooms and to the streets. What it can do in the way of illumination, remains yet to be discovered; and what it can do, we can partially conceive. Thej inventors start imme diately to Great Britain, o secure their patents. This is truly one of the most wonderful inven tions of the age -even of this age ; and we are glad that Cincinnati has been the place of its production. . From the Morning Courier and Enquirer. FISH WITHOUT EYES. i . Not long since we noticed in one of the num. bers of this paper, an article stating the fact that Dr. Detmold of this city had some specimens of fish taken from a " lake! in the celebrated Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, which are said to have no eyes. i , We wish merely to remark; that we regret that Dr. Detmold has neglected to apply his own well known abilities to the solution of this curi ous problem in nature, j 1 j These fish have for some years excited much at tention among the naturalists. The fact that they have to all appearance no eyes, has called forth from some, only exclamations 'at the wonderful adaptation of everything for its position ; but in others more skeptical it has fortunately for sci ence) only excited the laudable desire which ev. cry naturalist must feel to determine the ques tion whether or not they are without eyes. Wc shall content ourselves'at this time with staling only a few facts with regard to these and other equally surprising phenomena in this cave, and defer a more minute exposition for some of the scientific journals. - j i . - - ! ;, - The "lake? in which these fish are found is merely a collectjon of the Water which filters in to theCave and settles in the lowest portion. It is, in the rainy season, nearly 20 feet higher than in the dry season of the yeir, and is called a riv: erby those who live near and are accustomed to visit the Cave. The Cave itself is only one fourth of a mile from Green river. - j ; V A number of these remarkable fish were ta ken to Berlin, about a year and a half since, by bur friend Dr. Theo. Teljcampf, now of this city, but who has been residing, for some years in Cincinnati, Ohio. , He visited this Cave and caught the fish for ; the purpose. During his l1!-1 dissected one of them, and i8C0T?re(L1,i i?ptic nerve Subsequently the e7 itself was found, covered by the skin; of the -I'ct? It can conceive only a general impression of Jight. There are: fish, however, which have no eyes, but these do not happen to be' in that category. The peculiarity in the development ofheir eyes, is by no means their ' only distinguishing and remarkable feature, riThe total absence' of light in the cave would render the use 'of even perfect eyes impracticable!; consequently these fish are provided with a protuberance from their heads composed of Jolds of skin,' which are not rigid, bat exceedingly flexible and filled with nerves.; Their head is also covered with siml- - -jr lar folds of skin. This apapratas is moved by the slightest disturbance of the water ; thus it is that they ars compensated by a remarkable de velopment of their" sense of touch for the loss of the sense of sight. V ' The white crawfish: have also, been found to have eyes, but less developed than the fresh wa. ter crawfish. ' - r - :; .r "I , - S-'VC 'f V- Dr. Telkampf found specimens of beetles and spiders Vithout eyes, duplicatespf which, be deposited at Berlin; New specimens of animal culae were aso ' found. , 1 ' A - j . 1 J ': . ;i i An accurate description of these discoveries published in the spring of 1843, in one of the numbers of the ; ?

In that paper of Tuesday we find a letter dated 2d of March, of which we translate the most important items. !" : ' U.S. Gaz. ; You have learned by my previous letters the publication of the decree relative to the land titles, and the effect which it produced. This decree, after having caused great excitement, has been lately suspended. It is said that the blacks of the south have addressed General Guerrier, asking for the expulsion of the color ed people from every branch of public service. There seems to be a general impression that there! will be serious contests. A conspiracy has been discovered in St. Domingo, which had for it? object the overthrow of the present Con. stitutional Government, and the proclamation of Santana as' perpetual dictator. " On the 24th ultimo a court martial was held, Colonel Juan Esteve presiding, which condemn ed to death; at nine o'clock the next day, five per sons, among those arrested on account ot the conspiracy. j.In the evening the Vicar General administered the sacraments to the condemned, and the next day he, with an Italian priest ac companied them to the cemetery, the place of execution, where they were shot. "The National Congress will assemble on the 3d instant. It is composed of men sincere ly attached to the Republic. A free and consti tutional election has called thither citizens of na tions pf every country, Spaniards, Americans, French, land Haytiens. They will contribute strength and energy to this country, qualities in wmcn u is uencieni. IDLE YOUNG MEN. "i It seems to be a source of regret to ma ny of the good people of this country, that ; - ! so many wonny ana inaastrious young meni are unafele to get employment, by whiph they might earn an honest liveli hood. The Mobile Herald states that hundreds of industrious and respecable young men are walking tbe- streets of that city, seeking employment. Many of them offer their services for a salary barely suf- ncient to anord them a scanty subsistence. This is:to be lamented, certainly; but to us it seems easily accounted for-and in our method of solving the problem, there is something that removes much of the poignancy of our regret for the destitute condition of such young persons. The se5 cret is this ; these latter days, an invinci ble repugnance is cherished to the mat ter of working for a livelihood. This re pugnance is re-cherished not only by 3'ourig men, but almost every parent thinks bis son peculiarly adapted to some one of the learned professions, or at least to the business of a merchant. On this account, the youth who could not reasonably be expected to do otherwise, having only his volition to consult, chooses, rather to shine in the fine toggery of a merchant's clerk, than to strip and do the drudgery of a me chanic's apprentice. If the hundreds of young men who throng our southern cities in quest of em ployment as clerks, hadmade of them selves skilful mechanics, they could have found employment at reasonable salaries, Without difficulty, and thus saved them selves the mortification, and the State the expense of throwing them into penitentia ries, and making botch mechanics of them at last. But ah I it is not respectable to work f M. Honor and shame from no condition rise ! Act well your part there all the honor lies.' And why is it not respectable to work ? why is there not as much honor in turning out a skilfully executed mechanical job, as there is in standing behind a counter, measuring tape ? In the former, genius and talent are indispensable the latter a trained monkey could do as effectually as the greatest genius in the land. The fact is, there are matters in our social poilcy, Which, to manage rightly, require long heads, but which, in the present dislocated state of society, are controlled by children.

Hurst, while employed as first lieu tenant of the United States brig Truxton, on the coast of Africa, and exercising the duties of chief executive officer of that vessel, engaged in a duel with h midship man under his command. It is said, and not denied, that Lieut Hurst, 4 on an' inti mation of an intention by Passed Midship man Creighton to appeal, for some alleged wrorig received from Lieut Hurst to high er authority, told that officer that such ap peal -ws unnecessary, as he, Lieut Ji., would give him personal satisfaction. .

From thej Missionary Herald, and other sources, we learn that the American missions in Nes toria still presents a discouraging aspect. In Syria the Greek Church displays a per secuting disposition, and seeks to quell the spirit of inquiry which has been awakened by the . missionaries Nevertheless prog." ress is. made. At the, foot of Mount Her mon, a band of hardy mountaineers, be tween seventy and eighty in number, have recently: vol unta rialy. signed a bond or covenant to be faithful in the profession of the Gospel, and to stand by each other in the persecution ivhichawait-themN Iii;the &mdwichllslands themission "prospects are to some extent -clouded by the present unsettled state t of afTairs. This is more.pajrticularly thexase at Ho nolulu,' where," the missionary says, f the congregations are falling" ofF in numbers. On another islandjsixty candidates for ad mission to church membership were pro posed at the date of last advices. . At a nother station in charge of) Mr. Clark,! the native converts were . about : to organize for the support of their own minister and Gospel institutions.- Mr. Armstrong, lrbm another station, reports that the - people had already raised one hundred and twen tyifive dollars toward fiis support. From the Indian missions ihe principal intelligence relates to the triumphant death of a daughter of the celebrated.Com Clanter, of the Six Nations. The chief imself lived and died in heathenism. He was upwards of one hrfhdred and ten years old. ' In India there is a prospect of a plenti ful harvest from the labors of the devoted missionaries sent out from this country, and" Great Britian." "At -Armednugger, Cherry and other stations,are many can didates for baptism, and entire villages are putting themselvesiinder the care of mis sionaries This is the base to a wonder ful extent in South India, where ninety six villages have solicited to bejaken un der the care of English missionaries, who have now nearly two thousand persons under instruction.- N.

It is no uncom mon thing in our streets, to hear boys, from eight to six teen years of age, cursing and swearing oaths and im precations that would choke a pirate.
