f v - X J-i. WEDNESDAY JANUARY 21, 1837. PeIjIIc rrcctlr-rir.rine Hospital, tt-".ai,i rrtnfl cur readers that :'a public meet- iT 0f the citizens h been called bybia Honor, the Mayor at' the Court Houssthis evening, at 7 o'clock, to take into consideration matters connected with the "Marina ITospitai to be constructed at this port. It is desirable that the views of the, people should .pertained on the subject, in order that our rep- rcsentatiTcs in the General Assembly may obtain the necessary cession of title from tho State for the lmd uoonVhich the buildings are to be erected, and which must be obtained, in order to secure the appropriation made by Congress for the construction of the Hospital before March next. We allude to this matter for the purpose of in forminz those who may not hare seen the handbill notice, that such a meeting is to beheld, and to suggest that the importance of tne subject snonia enlist their attention. , , , " Jnst Look at It ! North, South, East and West, no mail?. Let us f of a .. moment, look t, home this , home-staying weather. The present General Assembly, which commenced its session on the 17th day of November last, with such a flourish of trumpets and roagni ficent promises of good by the press of the party in power, has been in session about 65 flays, ana wna has been accomplished to relieve the people? x There are 119 members of the House of Com tnnna wfco receive tS Der diem, . : $357 49 members of the Senate at $3, . N . .The Speaker of the House and Senate, at $4 147 8 12 Chief and reading Clerks of the iiouse ana Senate, $6 each, .

" &C.J TiOt f&T short 0 ULJ XfcV, 0-j T , ' . $40,000. ' I The Democratic party nas a ciear worwug uiajvi Hy in both -Houses, sufficient in all conscience to pass every thing which they can agree upon. And we would like for some one to inform us what they have done to remunerate the people for this $40,000 of their money which they have eaten and drank ud Where -are those liberal but judicious interna improvement measures which were so earnestly pro mised. if the power was given them i Wo are satisfied, if the dominant party could be brought to a sense of the duty which they have so loudly professed, and sa greatly neglected, they would change their tactics for the balance of the ea!5e;n inrt frv to do somethinz , besides making speeches. There are many important works in pro cress in the State urgently demanding further legis InfJnn and aid. but thus far have either been killed lumvu it 1 : i. :: off or neglected. - rrw aa irroaf lAJidinc measures of the nartv. as AUO jj.vww q 7 - X T I well as we can gather from the rports are the re peal of the Mexican Preamble, abolishing the Regis tration Law of our town, ana taking tne appoint ment of Inspectors from the (Jommissioners ant eivinc it to the County Court. We suppose to these may be added the defeat of the Mechanics' Lien Tmui. which iustice to that class oi our citizens so urgently demanded should be passed. , VorilTr ia tho democratic nartv the "poor man s w J k sr friend." Having discharged these great party du ties, we do hope they will do something for those small matters, the Western extension, Wilmington and Rutherford Railroad, Deep River improvement, At thi3 present writing we have not a Sin gle newspaper or letter from any direction, where from to glean an idea or an item. Yesterday and the day before we got two or three papers none from the North. So far as mail communication is concerned, there has been for the last two Or three Aava ft xrirtiiaLrKffsnliitinn of the Union. Now. how can you 'expect us to get up any thing readable or interesting under such distressing circumstances ? We are like Robinson Crusoe, who when washed up on the shore of Juan Fernandez, was thrown upon his own resources and proceeded to enjoy himself. Our resources are pretty well "closed out at cost," and we have but "a limited supply" therefore of the means of enjoyment. ,, . 1 ' A peculiar feature of Harper's Magazine is the Editor's Drawer--a sort of general repository for fa ded jokes, stale witticisms, appreciated verses, doubt ful bon-mots, epigrams with and without point, and paragraphs without meaning. It may not be with in the knowledge of the reader that we have a pair cf drawers for the like purpose, filled with like choice literary bits, and every way as destitute of point. We take out one or two bits, at random. , Walking down Market street the other day what should we see but a dog with a piece of raw beef in his mouth. In another moment he would have swallowed it, but that a bigger dog rushed at him, made him disgorge, and before you could say Jack Robinson the beef was gone,, and so was the little . dog with the most disappointed expression of coun ; tcnance that you ever saw. . The vr&j of the world, thought we, as we went about our business. , The regulation of our " Fire Department require the Wardens whenever tfcerp is a conflagration "to gest that the next time a re takes place,' the war dens eret up on the tower of the Episcopal Church. That is ta commanding position", enough, and things would go on better, than if they were below, for then they would be in every body's way. Besides, carrying out tho regulation to the letter. The genius of J ames Montgomery, that sweet wri ter of songs aJ comic verses has never been prop. erly appreciated; We; really do nott know which the most to admire, hfs beautiful lines on the death of Sir John Moore, or that instructive ballad "Fly away Pretty Sloth." They are both good. Mont gomery was a man of good constitution and lived as " .

A Montgomery had at one time, we believe, an idea of bcin editor with Mr. Gales of the Kational Intel- igencer or the Raleigh Register, we forget which, a position which would have admirably.suitcd his bi ting sarcasm and extensive acquaintance, wjth the politics of our country; but for some reason or other he did not go into the business, and this proves wjiat we have been saying about his -sense-5 He could not have "enjoyed. himself, with or without resources, if he had quitted verses for paragraphs. These are all of these elegant extracts that can be published to-day. The remainder "can be found in thenext;numberof Harper's Magazine, "from where they leave oflf here." ' i : T : - . Constitutional lieform . The following bill, designed to protect the landed interest from excessive taxation, was recently intro duced in the House of Commons by Mr. Foster of Randolph. . It was referred to the Committee on Constitutional Reform, and an adverse report was made unon it bv a maioritv of the Committee. Mr. t - V - , Folk, of Watauga, from the same Committee, how ever, submitted a minority report, arguing in favor of Mr. Foster's bill. But, so anxious were the De mocrats in the Commons to choke off discussion, that, by a nearly party vote, they refused even to allow the report to be printed. The following is the bill to which we have referred i Whereas, by the present Constitution of the State of North Carolina land is protected against undue taxation, by the property qualification re quired of voters for the Senate branch of the Gene ral Assembly; and whereas, by a bill now pending before this. General Assembly, said qualification is about to be removed, and ne protection is furnished in $aid bill to the owners of land against unjust and unequal taxation, such as is furmshed by our pre sent Constitution to the owners of slaves: There fore. ' " : V'"'-'.-- Be. it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of North Carolina and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, (three-fifths of each Iiouse concurring,) That the following be adopted as an amendment to the Constitution of this State to wit : No tax shall be imposed and levied by the General Assembly on real estate which shall exceed the proportion to the capitation tax of twelve cents on the hundred dollars' value on land to forty cents on the poll. "The citizens of Fairfield, Hyde county, re cently requested a Mr. Rowland Chapman, an abolL tionist, to leave their county ; but as Mr. Rowland Chapman seemed loth to go, a committee .waited upon and escorted him into a dense forest, lying somewhere in the county of Tyrrell, and then left him in " all his glory," he having pledged his honor (?) not to return to Hyde again. x g3f The U. S. Senate Committee on Commerce have reported a bill providing for the protection o steamers against fire.

V T The Greensboro' Times is a handsome family journal, worthy the patronage of all lovers of light literature. It has several editors and quite a? num ber of correspondents who write for the paper reg ularly. If alfehose who annually send their money North to build up the namby-pamby papers of that section, would sustain the Times a home journal they would receive a better gazette in the first place, and have the consciousness Of aiding a South ern publication in the second. If there are any two Democratic papers in the non-slaveholding States that pour forth a larger amount of sterling Democratic oracle than any fifty other Democratic papers in those States, they are unquestionably the Albany Atlas and the Boston Post. - Those two Democratic organs have-a national reputation, and there is not another Democratic or gan in the whole North that has such a reputation. Well, the Albany Atlas and the Boston Post an nounce in the strongest terms that Mr. Buchanan and the Democratic party of the North are far more anxious than even the Black Republicans are that Kansas shall come tnto the Union as a free State. How does the precious Democracy of the South like that ? Lout mile Jour, i . l India Rubber. The wonders of India rubber ire not likely to be soon exhausted. Lately what are called "Hard India Goods" are manufactured froni a composition invented by Mr. Chaffee, which consists , mixing coal-tar with the rubber. From this re sults a substance resembling solid stone, as black as coal, out of which articles are made, solid, elastic, and elegant, needing no finish, but exhibiting as beautiful a polish as metal is susceptible of. Canes, cabinet ware, spectacle bows, opera glasses, castors, sand-stands, inkstands, brushes for the hair, pencil cases, cigar cases, and in fact almost every thing can be made of it. One very important one. how ever, should not : be omitted the new teleeranh wire is made of it. It needs no poles, no coveriner. The wire is laid in a trench a few inches deep, en closed in the rubber; no dampness can affect it, no storm throw it down, no insect sever, no rust cor rode. The Government has ordered naval buttons to be supplied of this materia.

Sixty years aeo there was sixty feet depth of water on the present site of the Toombs, and it is not so long since Canal street and its vicinity were a running stream.

The public -mind cf the European wcrl J,' was pretty much engrossed at oar hst; advices,' by rthe three great questions of the .day namely, theA- IUS COSITRESCE THETEOrELE BETWEEN PeXTSSIA AKD S WrrZEBLAKD, AKD THE MlSrXDIT,$TAXIrSa EETWEES Great Bsitais asb Petia. The Paris Conference, was expected to commence almost immediately.--" It 13 said that France , in the interest cfPussb, bi.4 sounded Austria and England respecting an offer of compensatfon to the Czar, forthq al-andcnment of Bolgrad, and thata decided nezatlve from each was me repiy. ; xne opinion prcTaucuynowcyfer, -uav tho leading pomts in dispute wonld be acijustcd. Anxiety, was, nevertheless, expressed in some quar ters, especially if any new topic should be introdu ced. A Paris correspondent of the London Dailr News notices a letter from Vienna, to the effect that "the French Ambassador at that Court has commu nicated to Count Buol a despatch, in which the vaumtt oi ac Auuienes aeciare, tnat alter naying maturely considered the arguments on both sides, touching the differences which exist between Rus sia on the one part, and Austria, England and Tur key on the other, m rerard to Boisrad and the Isle of Serpents, it cannot accept the interpretation con tended lor by the three latter parties to the treatv of Paris, in the absolute terms laid down by thera. This official -and unexpected declaration appears to have produced such an impression that Count Buol, not contented with immediately communicating the purport oi it to the hmperor m Italy by telegraph, thought it necessary to send the text itself to his Majesty by an extraordinary courier. The least in convenience that might result from such a compli cation as this would be in any case that'of indefinite ly postponing the second meeting cf the plenipoten tiaries in Pans. It is sufficienuv well known that the Austrian government, agreed with England on every point that yet remains to be regulated for the definitive settlement of the Eastern question. makes it a peremptory condition to the meeting of anew Congress that a previous understanding shall be come to between the powers interested upon the principal questions which have led to the regretable difference." All this is .important, if true, but we. regard it as doubtful. The leading French journals copy the rumor, but they allude to it cautiously. The next question of interest is the misunlcrstacdieg between .Prussia and Switzerland. Both parties were apparently in earnest, and preparing for blows Prussia has formally demanded from Wurtembeig and Baden permission to march an army of invasion through those States on the 15th- of February, and it is thought that the request will be acceded o if the rupture be not healed before the appointed time. The European Times says, that public opm ion throughout .'Europe s decidedly against the Prussian monarch, and even amongst his own peo ple, the war is viewed as uniust andtvrannical. It is believed, too, that the great Powers will ultimate ly interfere and prevent bloodshed, but in the mean time, the Swiss are acting in the" belief that they will be invaded, and the unanimity amongst them is seen in the fact that on the approach of danger the small internal bickerings which prevailed have alto gether ceased. in. k ranee the feeling in favor o Switzerland amounts to something like enthus'asm, and. the letter writers irom the capital ot that coun try clearly intimate that, if matters come to the worst, Louis Napoleon will be obliged to side will Switzerland, a country which afforded him protec tion when he most needed it, and whose existence as an independent Federal Union, surrounded by despotic governments, h& has himself, iri times gone by, highly praised and esteemed. One ofthe latest despatches from Berlin states that preparations were in progress for the assem bling of 185,000 men in January, and that four di visions would take the field, under the command of highly popular officers. On the other hand, all the Federal btate officers of Switzerland have Been or dered to return to their posts immediately, and 20, 000 men are to be put under arms without delay. Jb rom rcrsia, there is, nothing that can bo called new or important in relation to the misunderstand ing with Great Britain, although the papers abound with rumors. A Polish correspondent of the Augs burgh Gazette says the Russians have long been preparing for a contest between lingland and Persia The garrison of Astracan has bsen strengthened, and the Cossacks in that district have received a new commander, denounced. In England the war continues to be The reader may gather from the fore going a tolerably correct idea of the actual condition of affairs in the Old World, when the Asia sailed, and on the three great topics of the day. In the first place, the parties to the Eastern war were about to re-assemble , through their plenipotentia ries, with the object of confirming, explaining , and perfecting the terms of the peace. In the second, Great Britain and Persia,; on the one hand, and Prussia and Switzerland on the other, were appa rently on the eve of serious conflicts, although, in both cases, a hope, was indulged that better coun sels would prevail, and that the las t hread alterna tive would be avoided. ,x How New York Bakers Make Bread. The ed itor of the Journal of Commerce ha i been divine: among the city bakers and comes up with this tale: ; ' - - : . ', 'v ' Our bakeries are mostly under exound and -out of sight, and fe who eat their, bread ever witness the process of baking, and perhaps it i3 well that it is so. It has been said that he who wishes to relish his dinner should keep clear of the kitchen. The rooms where the dough is mixed are generally small and under ground; the men sleep often, perhaps gen erally, in ine same room a part ot the night. They often smoke, or chew tobacco, or both, and we are credibly informed, that the feet, instead of the hands are often employed in the process of preparing the dough." v. And the New York Express follows with thisy strong corroboration : "There is a bakery not two hundred feet from Nassau street, we 'may add, where the laborers are daily seen coming into the street, with their naked feet and legs alf covered with dough, and the dough oozing between their ten pedal extremities ! Usrh ! Ugh!!. ' ; - The Journal of Commerce further says : "The expedients resorted to by manv of our ba kers to compel the consumer to pay the highest price ior orcaa are various, iney cnanre tue , con sumer, when the loaf is purchased at their counters, 6t and 12 cents, for their loves. Now a barrel of flour will make 224 of the farmer, and 112 of the latter, equal to 14 dollars for a barrel of fiour baked into bread; and when the consumer buys of the gro cer, instead of the baker in many, if not in most instances, making a loaf of less weight for the groc er, whom he sells the same for a proportionately less price, xne consumer, tnereiore, pays a - double profit one to the grocer, and one to the baker. wnen ne ouys ot tne lormer.
