If it were but known to men nt a distance the immense advantages which we have here for man ufacturing purposes, we doubt not hut the popula tion would increase one third, five years hnce. There is no town in tbe State that can equal us in water power for driving machinery of any kind streams that never fail.

DeLave. the rival of Blondin, successfully crossed the Genesee Falls on a tight rope on Tuesday last. A concourse of from eighteen to twenty thousand people witnessed the performance, and were thoroughly drenched by a severe thunder shower which occurcd just previous to the commencement of tho feat. If either Blondin or De Lave possess wisdom we th.nk the latter enjoys the larger portion Should De Lave fall into the Genesee river, his life might be spared, but if Blondin were to tum ble into the vortex over which he passes on a.rope, his death would be inevitable, What" folly and reckless disregard of human life ! n.i lior: thes.'! very words !PP'?so ;e nwk, i , ...iii- Didn't sin Hill I.al l el OI Uie. i..jjus.. e, vu know it V -; ' H. u.y W.

Tt is declared that the Go vernment of Baden docs not require American naturalized citizens, who, have been subjects in Baden, to perform duty there in cae they return, even if they have emigrated without consent that is, if they return merely for visit. It is presumed that the expatriation controversy here and the last letter of Gen. Cass, has had a wln'jesome influence abroad. American Bo.vno of Fokeign Missions. The receipts of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions for July w ere 110,018.82. This is tlie largest sum received during anj' one month since the board was organized. The receipts for the months of June and July amounted to about 100,000. Another Fire in Elizabeth Oitv, N. C -We le.irn that another fire occurcd in Elizabeth City' N C, on Sunday last. About one o'clock the large brick building belonging to Mr. P. H. Dozier. on Road st, opposite to the Leigh House, was discover ed to be on tire, and was consumed before the ilames could be arrested. The adjoining building, belong ing to Mr. W. Riddick was also nearly entirely destroyed. No particulars were given as regards the loss. So says the Norfolk Herald. Bank of Noktii Carolina.

The next Annual Fair of the Clinton Agricultural Society will be held on Thursday, the 1st day of Dec'r next. Col. 1 hos D. Meares, of Brunswick, is e,utiovy,;eed to deliver (the Address. Generous Gifts. A few years before the death of the late Rev. Jas. W. Alexander, of New York, bis congregation raised his salary, from 4,00 to &3,00o." He, however, refused to accept the increase, and his charge were forced to take the money and ,i- o fn,l nf ;i- which they did.. At his death this fund amounted to xl2,0m, and last week the congregation made it 23,000, and nave it to his family. A Vpw f'.TMKf fok tub -Swedish Throve.

I W Davis, of that State, tormeriy cpeaiver oi me United States House of Representatives, and at one time minister to China. Mr. Davis was also president of the Democratic National Convention which assembled in Baltimore in 1852, and nominated General Pierce for the Presidency. New York, Aug. 23d. Failure of Locomotive Works. The failure of the Boston Locomotive Works is announced for six hundred thousnd dollars. The company had sold work at the West and other part of the country to railroad companies &c, taking pay in bonds, which proved worthless. It is said that a girl in Pittsfield was struck dumb by the firing of a cannon. Since then a number of married men have invited the ar tillery to fcome and discharge their pieces ou their premises. A stiff-necked old politician, living near, Detroit, recently refused to allow his daughter to marry the man of her choice; because he "didn't vote the re gular ticket." But the marriage took place in the parlor, while the old gentleman was holding a i caucus in his library. Something New The Myria Tyie. We find the following description of a new inven tion in the London (England) Mj filing Star : The invention of the myria of M . Conibaruii has been submitted to the Government and ac cepted for inspection. The marvelous inven tion being destined to operate an immense ajjd., immediate revolution in the art of prii..ng is worth description . Liitherto the ei .-.rocici s used in printing have been compose . of a mix ture of lead and antimony ; these'-characters, by reason of tlteir extreme softness, wear tut quickly, and are, besides, very expensive. The characters are moulded one by one ; the the best workmen can scarcely produce livo thousand of them in a day in thu rough. They have afterwards to bo finished up, and pass through several hands. M. Combarien, by an ingeniously invented machine, produces ten thousand of these characters at one stroke. Each letter is then separated by a machanical saw, which divides them with mathematical re gularity and precision. The consequence of this invention will be production, increased per cent. ; exactitude and regularity, hitherto unattainable ; the use of harper metal, which will avoid the frequent renewals of printers' material ; reduction (by one half) ol the out lay ; and at length, the great object an in crease of printing, and an enormous diminution in the price of books ! Look now through the vista of approaching years, and behold the glo rius result. M . Combaricu announces his in tention of producing characters in steel, the durability of which will be beyond calcuhitfon . The Opposition have been paraded the opinion of Democratic speakers and writers in relation to the extravagance and corruption of the Democratic party. They contend that such opinions are good in sustaining their charges. We produce alike piece of testimony from their principal .Maryland organ, the Baltimore Clip per bearing upon themselves, which, of course, they will not object to. The Clipper, ha3 somo right to know what sort of men it lias in its party, and we, therefore, gave its opinion t,hat our teadet'3 may likewise learn something of them. The Clipper says : " Thcr are men who belong to the American party only because it is dominant, who came ta it when it was awe io give Oince, uuu wm leave it at the first indications of defent, and who, using il only for their men purpose, are entirety vsscmpnlcus as to the agewied they em plfiy, the evil -passion they excite, -and-tXe ilanger- oar nmcuiiery liiey let i'i motion. .utiu iuc otecrs we go up and down seeking whom they may devour political hyenas who live upon the blood of candidates. Neither class is nu merous, but both are dangerous. They are. the camp followers. Ever iu the rear of tqe victorious army, and living by what they pick up." Xon-Committal. Some years ago there wa3 a good deal of excitement among the good people in a certain town in C county, Vermont, on the subject of religion, and ulniosi every man in the place was more or less a wakenel to a sense of his sinfulness, and made a public declaration of his intention to lend a new life. Among the rest were three of tho principal men of the village, whom we will call Mr. M., 15. and G., who being all present at one of the meetings, took part in the proceedings to the great joy of the faithful, and much to the astonishment of "the rest of mankind" then and there assembled. M, rose first, and hav ing made a general confession of his unworth mess, said in conclusion, that he hab always in tended to be an honest man, but if he had wronged any one he was willing to make all restitution. B. followed, peaking ... pretty much the same manner, but saying that as to restitution, if he had wronged any man, he was wiilin- to comply with the Bible injunction, and 'restore unto l.in, four fold.' O arose next, and spoke of his sins and wickedness in quite as ron- Jtcrms as tho other had done, but coming to the 'restitution' clanse, he remarked i with a caution characteristic of himself: "If there is any man that I nave ueirumieu, I shall be most happy to.
