orphan child at the nge of ten a penny ia the The question with him was although so young what shall I do He he would run errands for any one who would employ him Early one morning he sallied forth the hovel where he had slept the night before in search of employment Ha had walked but a few minutes in the near Somerset House when a gentleman met him who accosted him lad would you me by this note to Chancery at the same lime handing him the note with an English shilling saying I will give you this shilling for fco doing Curtis instantly lodk the money nnd promptly delivered the nets to whom di- On hist return he mat u poor woman near Temple Bar who ently was in great distress and but n boy she solicited charity of Curtis asked the applicant what she had under nrm to which she replied by showing him a little white kitten be mv mediately offered her all tho he had for it being the shilling he had just earned with which she was highly picas ed Curtis then set off with his kitten for Charing Cross on his way thither u gentleman met him near Exeter Change not fur from Adelphi who espying the kitten asked tha lad what he had his ragged Curtis told him it was a The gentlman re- quested to look at it which he did most critically then said my lad you ore taken it is no kilten but awhile weasel will you sell ill Yes says Curtis what will'you give for ill Five says the gentleman The kilten ihen is yours Gurus received the money delivered over the kitten to the stranger and then walked off with his guineas in his pocket The day lowing Curtis by the bye was a very handsome little boy hastened to Alley to procure for himself which was built by a vulgarly culled Con- to a grent lea merchant ol Canton in tha East Indies and received of him teas nnd spices of lhat country in payment for the opium my teas and spices 1 shipped and brought them to London of all where in n short time arrival I had the good fortune to sell them to tha don Company for one plum alias one

Y Courie NEW YORK In a letter from Livingston county published in this weeks since iho writer eased iho opinion that Western New York known throughout the world as one of the most fertila and beautiful agricultural sections of the try was decreasing in population rather than otherwise in consequence of universally prevalent disposition to grate to the West The and prairies of lhat offer even to tho dwellers in Genesee Monroe rio counties inducements for emigration too strong to be resisted Our statements On this subject are confirmed by Western papers the Buffalo Commercial says over 150 towns in this Stale whose population is on the decrease owing mainly to the ardent hope of the hardy cultivators of tiie soil to their condition by tilling the rich of Illinois Wisconsin and ether new States and Territories It is undoubtedly true that the pal of this waning tendency in the of one of the most beautiful arming sections in tho world is to be found in the decreasing value of tho land The soil in New York is not ns good ns it was fifteen years ago Much of it has been worn out by incessant and indiscreet cultivation The Buffalo Com- in speaking of this matter proper and

to what fell from the lips of Lord Bishop of Durham who on lhat occasion ered an eloquent sermon On leaving the royal Chapel a lady apparently of great distinction dropped her bric handkerchief which young Curtis observed as it fell instantly picked it up and ran to the carriage as it was going off the lady proved to be her Grace the Duchess of Devonshire The politeness and gallantry of the boy was highly pleasing to her Grace and she di- him to take a seat in her carriage that she might inquire into his situation and circumstances The boy most dily accepted of her kind offer nnd had the honor of remaining in her Grace's palace she placed him in ster by her bounty and goodness he received an excellent tion he grew up he was ed for talents and worth so much as to become a member of parliament where tie did himself great honor particularly in advancing the abolition of the African slave trade In the recess of parliament Mr Curtis visited the watering place at Margate where by mere accident he fell in company with a most beautiful and accomplished young lady about twenty years of name who every grace and virtue that man could desire to make him happy On the fair ono his sion was squally pleased with Mr Curtis who was of an elegant form and graceful manners and of the most manly beauty It was agreed then that matter should be made known to the father of the lady which wus done The father not only gave his consent to their union but also settled upon his daughter twenty thousand pounds sterling and pointed Mr Curlis her trustee On the day of her marriage ha put a diamond ring on the finger of his beloved er of the value of two thousand guinea's as a token of his love and affection which ring had previously been presented to him by the great Catharine Empress of Russia To Mr Curties he presented a bank note of the Bank of England of fifty thousand pounds observing ut the same time Curtis believe you have the greatest esteem for my be- loved my only child and she having signified some attachment for you her to you to wife But I must first tell you that pendent of your great worth and talents you had stronger claims on me for my beloved daughter than any man whomsoever The facts communicated to me lhat an attachment subsisted you and her I ately to her Grace the Duchess of Devonshire your friend and patroness to make some enquiry of her Giace into your history and character The ess gave with oilier matters perfectly satisfactory the most irrefragable proof of your being the identical boy of whom I purchased the White Weasel near Ex- tor Change

maintain as yrs ago If the line of demarcation could bo accurately drawn between the tillers of the all engaged in cal mercantile find professions pursuits it would be found that in more than 200 towns in this State there are fewer ers now than in 1840 or 1835 It is so worthy of remark that as a general rule it costs more labor now to grow 100 bushels of wheat corn than it did in 1825 Why is ly because public attention has never been awakened to the fact that we annually waste about a dollar's worth per acre on an of the things that make our daily bread meat and thing to each of the eleven million acres under cultivation in New York This needless of all the valuable ments of giam in the soil creates a ing necessity for one half of our farmers to sell out to the other half and emigrate to Wisconsin or elsewhere A better tem of husbandry must be adopted or the productive value of farms in this stale will not exceed the price of the worn out tobacco lands of Maryland and Virginia Every farmer must learn and fully un- what it is in his soil that makes a crop of corn grass and potatoes and how much of each ingredient is ken from every field harvest EXPERIMENT WITH Special Committee of the Common cil appointed to investigate the cause of the explosion Warren's store Broad street which was the cipal cause of the late tion repaired to Mottville on the Chester co side of the Harlem bridge yesterday accompanied by several nent professors and gentlemen to test the question whether or not salpetre will explode Three experiments were tried the result of which was an mous opinion we understand that petre will not explode The saltpetre and bag burned fiercely but there was no e xplosion The second experiment was a full of saltpetre slightly intermixed with bagging and other com- materials known to have been in the slore of C W The hogshead was partially set on ground and vings and other combustibles placed around it and set fire to The result was the same as the first The ex- periment was with a boiler over a nace heated exceedingly hot and con- a large quantity of melted tre Into this cauldron of melted tre three bags ef saltpetre and slight combustible material were thrown The heal was exceedingly great but still no explosion This seems to settle the JV Y Sun A HUMMING greater than Bacon says that in spiritual language a bird corresponds

the from iib lair on the muddy banks of Severn now flouts quietly in this harbor a strange sight to all America We have seen her all who can ought to see her After a great deal of labor we have compiled from the English lowing and literary description of the monster steamboat This we have nt expense The following are this sions of the length 320 total 50 feet tons draught of water 18 feet engines power four cylinders 88 inches in diameter of stroke 72 inches chain wheel 18 feet in diameter tho screw in tho steam of iho is feet in diameter and has six arms The peculiar features of this great work which invest the Great Britain with unusual interest are Isl her magnitude 2d the used iron being employed to a greater extent in any other ship 3d the of form which have been adopted and the qualities they confer on her ns regards speed and seaworthiness 4th the construction of the engine and boilers and machinery serving for power 5th the employment of tho screw propeller the use of n culiar mechanism by which tho power of the engine is applied to turn round the screw In regard to her magnitude sho is larger than any first of which heard and in Ibis respect the mechanical which have lud to the adoption of great size are in our sound DESCRIPTION OP THE SHIP vessel is entirely built of iron the exception of the boarding of her deck and some of her cabin fittings and of her carved work Her model is what peculiar yet accordant with the mate when she was built of many tical men and the speed sho has tince attained together with her good sea qual ilies proves lhat their opinions ware well founded Her sides tumble or fall in a good towards the top deck from about the of her length to her stern giving and in the after body Abreast of tha which are forward of the longitudinal centre her sides are rather but she has after all abundance of bearings for a steamboat and more aloft might have produced heavy railing in a seaway Her bearings are ample and she is finely with a short entrance approaching to the plough form and an equally fine run Her upper works like most of the Bristol ships are plain but substantial in finish The hull is ed of iron plates decreasing in thickness from the keel upwards and angle iron ribs of great strength The plates are not however so thick in proportion to her size as those of some iron vessels since constructed particularly those built at North Birkenhead for war but she is nevertheless a very strong ship being bound securely by rods on the sion The plates of her keel are from 3 inch thick in the middle to 1 inch at the ends and alt the plates under water are from to I an inch at the top except Iho upper plate which is She is chiefly and double riveted at The libs inches by 31 by a i inch thick at the bottom of the vessel and at the top Her lig is that of what may be called a six masted with for and aft sails and lugger topsails with the exception of the mainmast the ond from the which will carry a
