WALL & BROTHER, Broad Street. September 16, 1696—t. RICE, ARE, Four Great Men. It is a remarkable fact, that the career of four of the most renowned characters that ever Itved closed with some violent or mournful death. Alexander, after having climbed the dizzy heights of his ambition, and with his temples bound with chaplets dipped in the blood of Countless nations, looked down upon a conquered world, and wept that there was not another one for him to conquer, set a city on fire, and died in a drunken debauch. Tlannibal, after having, to the astonishment and consternation of Rome, passed the Alps; after having put to flight the armies of the mistress of the world, and stripped three bushels of gold rings from the fingers of her slaughtered Knights, and made her very foundations qnake —fled from his country, being hated by those who once exultingly united his name with that of our God, and called him Hannibal—died at last by poison, administered by his own hands, unlamented and unwepi, in a foreign land. _ Cesar, after having conquered eight hundred cities, and dyed his clothes in the blood of one million of his foes; after having pursued to death the only rival he had on earth; was miserably assassinated by those he considered his nearest friends, and in that very place the attainment of which had been his greatest ambition. Bonaparte, whose mandate kings and emperors obeyed, after having filled the earth with the terror of his name, deluged it with tears and blood, and clothed the world with sackcloth, closed his days in lonely banishment, almost literally exiled from the world, yet where he could sometimes see his country’s banner waving over the deep, but which could not or would not bring him aid. Thus four men, who, from the peculiar situation of their portraits, seem to stand as the representatives of all those whom the world called Great—these four who, each in turn, made the earth tremble to its very center by their simple tread, severally dicd—one by intoxication, or, as some suppose, by poison mingled in his wine—one by suicide—one murdered by his friends—and one in lonely exile. Black Hole of Calcutta. There are many persons, no doubt, who have never heard the origin of this often quoted passage; for them and others who may have perhaps forgotten the subject, we copy the following article which tells the whole mournful story: Lord Clive, while a Colonel of the British army, commenced his career as founder of the British “empire in India, Full of honors and wealth he returned to England, but being defeated in getting into Parliament, in 1755 sailed under the King’s command, again for India, the company appointing him to the Governorship of Fort St. David. But the very day he stepped into the gubernatorial chair, at Madras, the Bengal Nabob took Calcutta. Then came that chapter of unheard-of cruelty, familiar to every child who has learned to read his story books. The tragedy of the Black Hole occurred in 1756, just a hundred years ago. The dungeon was bunt twenty feet square.— Midsummer heat was parching India. The little garrison thought it alla joke, when they were ordered to go in; but to refuse was to die, for Sarajahul Dowlak’s orders must be obeyed ; prolonged suffering was better than instant death; they entered, one hundred and forty-six in all. The door was closed, the small aperture admitted neither light nor air. When they began to exchange breaths the startling truth burst upov them. The air already was almost putrid; they shrieked, they yelled in mortal agony; they screamed for water and then killed each other over the cup which passed through the grating. While the poor prisoners were biting aud squeezing each other’s life away— gasping for air, for water, for anything to relieve them of their agony—the jailers laughed and danced in pure delight. Holmeil, the highest in rank, offered the jailer heavy bribes; but no, the ‘Nabob was sleeping, and no one dared to wake him. In the morning, when the debauch was slept away, he ordered the dungeon door to be opened, and out staggered twentythree swollen, distorted living corpses! One hundred and twenty-three were piled up—a putrefying mass of men—all ehapes and forms were represented in the death struggle. The English woman who survived was sent to the harem of the Prince of Moorshedebad. Holmeil was saved and tells the tale. The dead were burned on the spot, but the harrowing picture did not move in the least the granite disposition of the human tiger. The horrible deed reached Clive, and the celebrated batile of Plassey showed the inhuman Nabob that it was a foolhardy thing to trifle with the feelings of Englishmen. The soldiers fought like bulldogs; revenge stimulated them on, and the Nabob’s army of 60,000 strong was broken like a reed. Clive lost but twenty-two men. Turkish Cuaracter.—It was said by Gibbon most truly, that the Turks have been, since the Conquest, encamped, not settled, in Europe. They amount to a fourth, or a third at the utmost, of the population of the Sultan’s dominions. They are scattered in very unequal proportions over its surface. In some parts they form a tolerably thick agricultural population. In others, as in Constantinople itself, they are engaged in the trades and manufactures of a large ef But no where do they exercise those extended operations of skill and thought which bring men together, cause them to rely on each other, give them the habit of combined peaceful action, and impart to them the intelligence and the energy on which alone a strong commonwealth is built up. The Armenians are their bankers; the Jews their dealers; the Greeks their merchants. The very organization of the people seems to have denied them those finer qualities, both mental and corporeal, which fit men for the superior branches of industry. A Turk’s fingers, Dr, Walsh quaintly observes, seem all to be thumbs; he has no manual dexterity for any delicate employment, and his mind is as unfit for subtle operations as his body. The Turks neither write nor print (with the exception of bombastic poetry and still more bombastic history.) They do not build but destroy. They show no wish to adorn the soil which they inhabit, or to connect in any way the existence of the present generation with posterity. Their object in this world seems to be mere animal existence, as completely as that of the beasts of the field. Their religious sense is deep, enduring, exalted; but it is a religion which deadens and stupifies the intellectual faculties. A Successron Missionary.—Several yearsago, when the persecution against the converted Armenians in Turkey was raging with virulence, the Rev. Dr. Hamlin, the missionary there, set up a steam flouring mill, chiefly at his own expense, where the poor refugees might find employment, Dr. H. personally superintending its management. On the occurrence of the war, Dr. H. made a bread contract with the British Government, the profit on which amounted to nearly $25,000, all of which Dr. Hamlin has devoted to the cause of missions in Turkey. He has purchesed several churches for the native converts, and provided and sustained preachers, and set on foot other large-sighted and liberal measures from his own resources. His movement in behalf of the Bulgarians, while in London, has resulted in sending two missionaries to that field and an unlimited eupply of Bibles. Hebrew, Israelite and Jew. It may not be amiss to give seme explanation of these various names by which we are now recognized, inasmuch as what appear as synonomous mark different epochs in the original history of the naticn. he oldest expression, Hebrew, denotes ‘“passing over;’’ wherefore, Abraham, who came from Mesopotamia, was called the Hebrew; or, perhaps because of his descent from Eber. The sons of Jocktan having been called Ebrews, besides the Israelites, who have thus been denoted exclusively, ever since the time of Moses, may possibly confirm this latter opinion, See the note in Rev. J. Leeser’s edition of the Bible, which is reliable authority. Had not this application of the term been made exclusively to the Israelites, since their flight from Egypt, then would all the posterity of Eber be denominated Ebrews, being Peleg and Yoktan. and their descendants, Abraham was the fifth generation of Peleg; and from Abraham descended Isaac and Ishmael. The name “Hebrew” being given to Abraham, of necéssiiy his offspring became entitled to the same; and by genealogy the Ishmaelites of Asia as fully merit the appellation “Hebrews,” as the descendants of Isaac and Jacob; which, however, is not accredited from partiality, the name being presumed to descend only through the favored sons, The term “Israelite,’’ is derived from ‘“Israel,”’ meaning the “Prince of God’’—the name given to Jacob by the man with whom “he wrestled until ,the breaking of the day;’’ and the name “Israel,’’ is as often used to denote the nation, as the term ‘‘Israelites,’’ the people. All the sons of Jacob became ‘‘Israelites,’’ and, necessarily, “Hebrews,” from their descent; yet, if we account the persons who lived prior to Jacob, Israelites, we commit a chronological error. The term ‘“Jew,’’ is derived from “Judah,” signifying “T will thank the Lord,’’ and was the name of Jacobs’ fourth son, It is the term most frequently applied to the Israelite nation, and has, in some measure, been brought into disrepute as a name stigmatised by prejudiced gentile writers; for many have thought fit to malign the race for the very faults which they forced upon them. Levi, the third son of Jacob, with Judah, are the only two sons that the tribes of which are recognized to be still in existence, the other ten having become lost, Their descendants should be properly known, respectively, as Jews and Levites. The former classification is lost; but the latter prevails to distinguish them from the tribes of Priests who are the offspring of Aaron. The Levites and Priests are recognized to this day, in the synagogues. Levites, properly, are not Jews any more than Jews are Levites; yet, the term “Jews” is applied to the whole race. We simply intend to point out the epoch when each name became engrafted upon the nation, and illustrate the appellation, The term ‘Hebrew’ is now*used mostly to refer to the language: as we say, the Latin language of the Romans. The term “Israeliie’’ is used in respectful addresses to one of the nation. The term “Jew” is used generally, and at times, in reproach, while the man of true faith adopts it in order to banish the false prejudices which surround it.— Voice of Zsrael.

Pearson, of California, who arrived here the other day from Moscow, felt desirous of inspecting the government buildings, and for that purpose applied for the usual authorization— the European Congress of Sciences, then in session in this city, could be admitted. On receiving this reply, he applied to be received asa member of the Congress, stating that his diploma had been destroyed in the great fire at San Francisco. His demand was complied with, and he was treated with the greatest consideration by all the members of the body, with the exception of the Archduke Charles, who took exception to his admission on the ground of his having no diploma, Col. Pearson felt himself aggrieved by the . manner in which the Archduke’s objections were made, and felt it due to his honor to call on the . latter for an explanation. The Grand Duke behaved in the handsomest manner on the occa. sion, and the difficulty was amicably settled. These are the true facts of the affair, which, no doubt, have by this time reached you through other channels. Lusiities oF MEMBERS OF THE VIGILANCE . CommitTEE.— We copy the following extract from an article in the New York Journal of Commerce, on this subject : “Wherever they are found, they can be held to respond in damages to parties injured. In whatever State they may take refuge, they are liable to be seized and carried back to California, on requisition of its Governor, to be there arraigned on criminal process. The Governor may refrain from'making the requisition, in deference to a predominant public sentiment at home, which might prevent a conviction there; but the liability remains. Every member of the vigilance committee who was present and concurred in the execution of Cora, Casey, Hetherington and Brace, is liable to answer for the crime of murder. Every man among them is individually liable in damages to each of the persons who were exiled or imprisoned by the committee. It matters not whether he actively concurred in the sentence of the committee or not. The fact of his being a member of an association combined for unlawful acts, and present at their commission, makes him accountable for the consequences, That this is no theoretical liability, the recent arrest in this city of the president of the vigilance committee demonstrates. We point to it with no exultation at the fulfilment of our warning, which declared them no where tafe from punishment, short of a refuge in the ranks of Walker’s army: but to illustrate the peril and the folly which even whole communities of men incur and commit, when they attempt to defy the law, and to set themselves up above its power. More Court Eriqvette.—The English seem to havea particular horror of anything yellow. Professor Mahan shocked the assembly at the Queen’s levee by his yellow vest, and now some Americans at the Court of the Emperor of Russia, have disturbed the nerves of the correspondent of the London Daily News, by wearing yellow plumes in theirchapeau. He says they were the most stared-at individuals in the place, which is nothing singular, for a live Yankee generally manages to make himself noticed wherever he goes. An equal breach of etiuette, in the correspondent’s opinion, was that e Americans, on leaving the imperial presence, turned their backs upon the Emperor.— He congratulates his country that Englishmen only retired with their faces to royalty, walking backwards like a crab. Tae man who “couldn’t stand it any longer,” my taken a seat, e. . that overlie each other WHOLE NO. 164. VARIETIES. Locusts at Saanenar.—Letters from Shanghae mention an extraordinary flight of locusts which had passed over the city, continuing for several days, and coming apparently from the northwest. On the afternoon of the 17th September, they literally darkened the air for about an hour, but all day it was one continued “es. Millions upon millions fell into the river. French frigate Virginie saw them, it is said ge miles out at sea. There had been plentiful falls of rain, but the locusts had committed frightful ravages upon the grain crop; and, altogether, the season had been a most unfortunate one for the poor Chinese—first, the long drought, and then this plague of locusts. The natives say such a sight has not been witnessed these fifty years, Is rr so?—It is a proper belief that the age of trees can be determined by the “rings’’ or grains n their trunks. Mr. Joshua Howard, of Maryland, disputes the fact. He says that these rings counted on the section of the tree are not of annual th, are formed one at every full moon in the growing season, and at the latitude of Maryland five a year. This he has frequently proved by felling trees, the age of which he knew. The extraordinary age given to trees by the 4 a gre rule has made many persons doubt whether it is true. Hesrew Cemetery.—The Israelites of Moke} umne Hill, as we learn from the Chronicle, have fenced in a lot of ground in that place, with the intention of using it hereafter as a burial ground for their dead. The enclosure is to be beautified with trees, shrubbery, &c. The Chronicle aptly remarks, that nothing speaks higher for a community, or evhibits a greater degree of refinement and civilization, than a correct and proper degree of respect for the last restin place of those who were lately among us, an whose memory should be honored and cherished. Dercrmepy Coon Operation.—One of the workmen upon Greene’s rifles at the Massachusetts He was informed that no one but members of . Arms Company's works, was so unfortunate, some time since, as to slit the thumb of his right hand upon a circular saw. Concluding, upon inspection, that the member was used up, he coolly went back to the saw, and holding the damaged thumb with his left hand, made a clean amputation of it, and then proceeded to have it dressed by a surgeon. Tue New Cent Piece, recently finished at the United States Mint, Philadelphia, is the size of the old half cent, and is composed of fifty-seven parts of copper, seven of nickel and one of zine. It has a light appearance, with a faint red tint, and is in beautiful contrast with the American silver and gold pieces, and will not, as the cent did, tarnish them by contact. The weight of the new is only sixty-two grains—that of the prenont copper cent is one hundred and sixtyeight. STEAM ON THE Rep Sea—The Viceroy of Egypt has determined to establish steam communication between various points on the shores of the Red Sea, and has chartered a steam navigation company, with a capital of ten millions dollars, of which the government will furnish three millions. The enterprise wilk be under the direction of Mustapha Bey, the nephew of the Viceroy. Nor Disaprowren.—The Sacramento Union says—“Fillmore men didn’t expect anythin from the elections in Pennsylvania, Indiana ap Ohio, and they have not been disappointed.””— If that is so; then the Fillmore orators in California “lied like the devil,’’ for every one of them proclaimed that Fillmore wo carry those States. Roppery IN San Franctsco.—The house of Adum Mengis, keeper of the Rassette Market, corner of Market and Sutter streets, was entered about 2 o’clock on Tuesday morning, Nov. 18th, and robbed of $1,600in gold coin, The money had been placed for safe keeping under the matting in his parlor, and was taken without awaking the family asleep up stairs. ; Fasnion ann Resiciox.—The New York Churchman laments that so many charchmen are not “cheerful givers,” bat give grudgingly or stintedly to church charities; and attributes the cause of this delinquency to ‘extravagance in female finery,’’ the expenditures for whieh, the Churchman avers, are as $1,000 to $50. Tue Turr—Unprecenentep Time—aA trotting match took place over the Union Course, . L. L., recently, between Flora Temple {and Taeony—mile beats—Flora to harness—Taeony under the saddle, Flora won, distancing Tacony and now feels quite comforta. number, -as . the Dasiness the first heat. Time, 2:24! the fastest heat ever trotted. Dest or Mexico.—The public debt of Mexieo is as follows: Foreign debt, $51,208,250; domestic debt, $40,000,000; diplomatic conventions, $11,430,562. Total, $102,688,912. These debts entail an annual charge of $3,933,366 on the finances of Mexico. Some artists are pandering to the tastes of the San Franciscans, by regaling them with ,the doings of the Vigilance Committee on canvass, in the shape of a panorama. The exhibition takes “hugely,” with the vigilance symmpathisers, and will make a fortune for its owners. ApporntMEnNt or Recerver.—Mr. Croekett has been appointed Receiver of the assets of Page, Bacon & Co., in place of Messrs. Naglee and Parrott. The appo'ntment was made by Judge Hager, of the Fourth District Court, on Tuesday, Nov. 18th. Surctipe or an Eprror.—Mr, N. B. Dowson, one of the editors of the Davenport (Iowa) @azette, cut his throat with a pocket knife, on the 14th ult. He was a gentleman of fine talents, was formerly connected with the press at Zanes. ville, Ohio, and fell a victim to intemperance. Tue oupest One.—Rev. Dr. est clergyman in New York. his pulpit forty-six years. Tuer Uss.—The true use of cockroaches, as all truly wise people have known for years, is to fiavor fine old Burgundy with. Manvracturge or Watcues ~The number of watches manufactured annually in Neufehatel, . Switzerland, may be calculated to be from 100,000 to 120,000, of which about 35,000 are in . gold, and the rest in silver. Now, supposing the first, on an average, to be worth $30, and the others $4, it would represent a capital of $1,390,000, without taking into consideration the sale of clocks and instruments for watehmaking, the amount of which is very large. The United States of America consume the largest . quantity of these watches. With the exception lof gold and silver for the manufacture of the watch cases, the other materials for the con. struction of the works of mechanism of the Neuf. chatel watches are of little value, consisting merely of a little brass or steel. The steel is imported from England, and is reconed the best that can be procured, the brass is furnished by France. With respect to gold and silver, the inhabitants of Neufchatel have had for a long time no other resource bat to melt current eoin, until they received gold from England. which the English merehants received from California, The number of workmen who are employed in watch-making is estimated at from 18,000 to 20,000, but it is diffienlt to arrive at the exagt the on yed oon in their own hovsewit Spring is the oldie has oecupied

WALL & BROTHER, Broad Street. September 16, 1696—t. RICE, ARE, Four Great Men. It is a remarkable fact, that the career of four of the most renowned characters that ever Itved closed with some violent or mournful death. Alexander, after having climbed the dizzy heights of his ambition, and with his temples bound with chaplets dipped in the blood of Countless nations, looked down upon a conquered world, and wept that there was not another one for him to conquer, set a city on fire, and died in a drunken debauch. Tlannibal, after having, to the astonishment and consternation of Rome, passed the Alps; after having put to flight the armies of the mistress of the world, and stripped three bushels of gold rings from the fingers of her slaughtered Knights, and made her very foundations qnake —fled from his country, being hated by those who once exultingly united his name with that of our God, and called him Hannibal—died at last by poison, administered by his own hands, unlamented and unwepi, in a foreign land. _ Cesar, after having conquered eight hundred cities, and dyed his clothes in the blood of one million of his foes; after having pursued to death the only rival he had on earth; was miserably assassinated by those he considered his nearest friends, and in that very place the attainment of which had been his greatest ambition. Bonaparte, whose mandate kings and emperors obeyed, after having filled the earth with the terror of his name, deluged it with tears and blood, and clothed the world with sackcloth, closed his days in lonely banishment, almost literally exiled from the world, yet where he could sometimes see his country’s banner waving over the deep, but which could not or would not bring him aid. Thus four men, who, from the peculiar situation of their portraits, seem to stand as the representatives of all those whom the world called Great—these four who, each in turn, made the earth tremble to its very center by their simple tread, severally dicd—one by intoxication, or, as some suppose, by poison mingled in his wine—one by suicide—one murdered by his friends—and one in lonely exile. Black Hole of Calcutta. There are many persons, no doubt, who have never heard the origin of this often quoted passage; for them and others who may have perhaps forgotten the subject, we copy the following article which tells the whole mournful story: Lord Clive, while a Colonel of the British army, commenced his career as founder of the British “empire in India, Full of honors and wealth he returned to England, but being defeated in getting into Parliament, in 1755 sailed under the King’s command, again for India, the company appointing him to the Governorship of Fort St. David. But the very day he stepped into the gubernatorial chair, at Madras, the Bengal Nabob took Calcutta. Then came that chapter of unheard-of cruelty, familiar to every child who has learned to read his story books. The tragedy of the Black Hole occurred in 1756, just a hundred years ago. The dungeon was bunt twenty feet square.— Midsummer heat was parching India. The little garrison thought it alla joke, when they were ordered to go in; but to refuse was to die, for Sarajahul Dowlak’s orders must be obeyed ; prolonged suffering was better than instant death; they entered, one hundred and forty-six in all. The door was closed, the small aperture admitted neither light nor air. When they began to exchange breaths the startling truth burst upov them. The air already was almost putrid; they shrieked, they yelled in mortal agony; they screamed for water and then killed each other over the cup which passed through the grating. While the poor prisoners were biting aud squeezing each other’s life away— gasping for air, for water, for anything to relieve them of their agony—the jailers laughed and danced in pure delight. Holmeil, the highest in rank, offered the jailer heavy bribes; but no, the ‘Nabob was sleeping, and no one dared to wake him. In the morning, when the debauch was slept away, he ordered the dungeon door to be opened, and out staggered twentythree swollen, distorted living corpses! One hundred and twenty-three were piled up—a putrefying mass of men—all ehapes and forms were represented in the death struggle. The English woman who survived was sent to the harem of the Prince of Moorshedebad. Holmeil was saved and tells the tale. The dead were burned on the spot, but the harrowing picture did not move in the least the granite disposition of the human tiger. The horrible deed reached Clive, and the celebrated batile of Plassey showed the inhuman Nabob that it was a foolhardy thing to trifle with the feelings of Englishmen. The soldiers fought like bulldogs; revenge stimulated them on, and the Nabob’s army of 60,000 strong was broken like a reed. Clive lost but twenty-two men. Turkish Cuaracter.—It was said by Gibbon most truly, that the Turks have been, since the Conquest, encamped, not settled, in Europe. They amount to a fourth, or a third at the utmost, of the population of the Sultan’s dominions. They are scattered in very unequal proportions over its surface. In some parts they form a tolerably thick agricultural population. In others, as in Constantinople itself, they are engaged in the trades and manufactures of a large ef But no where do they exercise those extended operations of skill and thought which bring men together, cause them to rely on each other, give them the habit of combined peaceful action, and impart to them the intelligence and the energy on which alone a strong commonwealth is built up. The Armenians are their bankers; the Jews their dealers; the Greeks their merchants. The very organization of the people seems to have denied them those finer qualities, both mental and corporeal, which fit men for the superior branches of industry. A Turk’s fingers, Dr, Walsh quaintly observes, seem all to be thumbs; he has no manual dexterity for any delicate employment, and his mind is as unfit for subtle operations as his body. The Turks neither write nor print (with the exception of bombastic poetry and still more bombastic history.) They do not build but destroy. They show no wish to adorn the soil which they inhabit, or to connect in any way the existence of the present generation with posterity. Their object in this world seems to be mere animal existence, as completely as that of the beasts of the field. Their religious sense is deep, enduring, exalted; but it is a religion which deadens and stupifies the intellectual faculties. A Successron Missionary.—Several yearsago, when the persecution against the converted Armenians in Turkey was raging with virulence, the Rev. Dr. Hamlin, the missionary there, set up a steam flouring mill, chiefly at his own expense, where the poor refugees might find employment, Dr. H. personally superintending its management. On the occurrence of the war, Dr. H. made a bread contract with the British Government, the profit on which amounted to nearly $25,000, all of which Dr. Hamlin has devoted to the cause of missions in Turkey. He has purchesed several churches for the native converts, and provided and sustained preachers, and set on foot other large-sighted and liberal measures from his own resources. His movement in behalf of the Bulgarians, while in London, has resulted in sending two missionaries to that field and an unlimited eupply of Bibles. Hebrew, Israelite and Jew. It may not be amiss to give seme explanation of these various names by which we are now recognized, inasmuch as what appear as synonomous mark different epochs in the original history of the naticn. he oldest expression, Hebrew, denotes ‘“passing over;’’ wherefore, Abraham, who came from Mesopotamia, was called the Hebrew; or, perhaps because of his descent from Eber. The sons of Jocktan having been called Ebrews, besides the Israelites, who have thus been denoted exclusively, ever since the time of Moses, may possibly confirm this latter opinion, See the note in Rev. J. Leeser’s edition of the Bible, which is reliable authority. Had not this application of the term been made exclusively to the Israelites, since their flight from Egypt, then would all the posterity of Eber be denominated Ebrews, being Peleg and Yoktan. and their descendants, Abraham was the fifth generation of Peleg; and from Abraham descended Isaac and Ishmael. The name “Hebrew” being given to Abraham, of necéssiiy his offspring became entitled to the same; and by genealogy the Ishmaelites of Asia as fully merit the appellation “Hebrews,” as the descendants of Isaac and Jacob; which, however, is not accredited from partiality, the name being presumed to descend only through the favored sons, The term “Israelite,’’ is derived from ‘“Israel,”’ meaning the “Prince of God’’—the name given to Jacob by the man with whom “he wrestled until ,the breaking of the day;’’ and the name “Israel,’’ is as often used to denote the nation, as the term ‘‘Israelites,’’ the people. All the sons of Jacob became ‘‘Israelites,’’ and, necessarily, “Hebrews,” from their descent; yet, if we account the persons who lived prior to Jacob, Israelites, we commit a chronological error. The term ‘“Jew,’’ is derived from “Judah,” signifying “T will thank the Lord,’’ and was the name of Jacobs’ fourth son, It is the term most frequently applied to the Israelite nation, and has, in some measure, been brought into disrepute as a name stigmatised by prejudiced gentile writers; for many have thought fit to malign the race for the very faults which they forced upon them. Levi, the third son of Jacob, with Judah, are the only two sons that the tribes of which are recognized to be still in existence, the other ten having become lost, Their descendants should be properly known, respectively, as Jews and Levites. The former classification is lost; but the latter prevails to distinguish them from the tribes of Priests who are the offspring of Aaron. The Levites and Priests are recognized to this day, in the synagogues. Levites, properly, are not Jews any more than Jews are Levites; yet, the term “Jews” is applied to the whole race. We simply intend to point out the epoch when each name became engrafted upon the nation, and illustrate the appellation, The term ‘Hebrew’ is now*used mostly to refer to the language: as we say, the Latin language of the Romans. The term “Israeliie’’ is used in respectful addresses to one of the nation. The term “Jew” is used generally, and at times, in reproach, while the man of true faith adopts it in order to banish the false prejudices which surround it.— Voice of Zsrael. AFFAIR IN VIENNA BETWEEN Col. PEARSON, OF CALIFORNIA, AND THE ARcH-DukE Cuaries,—The following letter has been received by the New York Herald in reference to a recent difficulty which is reported to have taken place at Vienna between Colonel Pearson, of California, and . His Imperial Highness the Archduke Charles: ViEnnNA, Sept. 21, 1856, An affair has just occurred here which has caused a good deal of excitement in fashionable circles, Col. Pearson, of California, who arrived here the other day from Moscow, felt desirous of inspecting the government buildings, and for that purpose applied for the usual authorization— the European Congress of Sciences, then in session in this city, could be admitted. On receiving this reply, he applied to be received asa member of the Congress, stating that his diploma had been destroyed in the great fire at San Francisco. His demand was complied with, and he was treated with the greatest consideration by all the members of the body, with the exception of the Archduke Charles, who took exception to his admission on the ground of his having no diploma, Col. Pearson felt himself aggrieved by the . manner in which the Archduke’s objections were made, and felt it due to his honor to call on the . latter for an explanation. The Grand Duke behaved in the handsomest manner on the occa. sion, and the difficulty was amicably settled. These are the true facts of the affair, which, no doubt, have by this time reached you through other channels. Lusiities oF MEMBERS OF THE VIGILANCE . CommitTEE.— We copy the following extract from an article in the New York Journal of Commerce, on this subject : “Wherever they are found, they can be held to respond in damages to parties injured. In whatever State they may take refuge, they are liable to be seized and carried back to California, on requisition of its Governor, to be there arraigned on criminal process. The Governor may refrain from'making the requisition, in deference to a predominant public sentiment at home, which might prevent a conviction there; but the liability remains. Every member of the vigilance committee who was present and concurred in the execution of Cora, Casey, Hetherington and Brace, is liable to answer for the crime of murder. Every man among them is individually liable in damages to each of the persons who were exiled or imprisoned by the committee. It matters not whether he actively concurred in the sentence of the committee or not. The fact of his being a member of an association combined for unlawful acts, and present at their commission, makes him accountable for the consequences, That this is no theoretical liability, the recent arrest in this city of the president of the vigilance committee demonstrates. We point to it with no exultation at the fulfilment of our warning, which declared them no where tafe from punishment, short of a refuge in the ranks of Walker’s army: but to illustrate the peril and the folly which even whole communities of men incur and commit, when they attempt to defy the law, and to set themselves up above its power. More Court Eriqvette.—The English seem to havea particular horror of anything yellow. Professor Mahan shocked the assembly at the Queen’s levee by his yellow vest, and now some Americans at the Court of the Emperor of Russia, have disturbed the nerves of the correspondent of the London Daily News, by wearing yellow plumes in theirchapeau. He says they were the most stared-at individuals in the place, which is nothing singular, for a live Yankee generally manages to make himself noticed wherever he goes. An equal breach of etiuette, in the correspondent’s opinion, was that e Americans, on leaving the imperial presence, turned their backs upon the Emperor.— He congratulates his country that Englishmen only retired with their faces to royalty, walking backwards like a crab.

Locusts at Saanenar.—Letters from Shanghae mention an extraordinary flight of locusts which had passed over the city, continuing for several days, and coming apparently from the northwest. On the afternoon of the 17th September, they literally darkened the air for about an hour, but all day it was one continued “es. Millions upon millions fell into the river. French frigate Virginie saw them, it is said ge miles out at sea. There had been plentiful falls of rain, but the locusts had committed frightful ravages upon the grain crop; and, altogether, the season had been a most unfortunate one for the poor Chinese—first, the long drought, and then this plague of locusts. The natives say such a sight has not been witnessed these fifty years, Is rr so?—It is a proper belief that the age of trees can be determined by the “rings’’ or grains n their trunks. Mr. Joshua Howard, of Maryland, disputes the fact. He says that these rings counted on the section of the tree are not of annual th, are formed one at every full moon in the growing season, and at the latitude of Maryland five a year. This he has frequently proved by felling trees, the age of which he knew. The extraordinary age given to trees by the 4 a gre rule has made many persons doubt whether it is true. Hesrew Cemetery.—The Israelites of Moke} umne Hill, as we learn from the Chronicle, have fenced in a lot of ground in that place, with the intention of using it hereafter as a burial ground for their dead. The enclosure is to be beautified with trees, shrubbery, &c. The Chronicle aptly remarks, that nothing speaks higher for a community, or evhibits a greater degree of refinement and civilization, than a correct and proper degree of respect for the last restin place of those who were lately among us, an whose memory should be honored and cherished. Dercrmepy Coon Operation.—One of the workmen upon Greene’s rifles at the Massachusetts He was informed that no one but members of . Arms Company's works, was so unfortunate, some time since, as to slit the thumb of his right hand upon a circular saw. Concluding, upon inspection, that the member was used up, he coolly went back to the saw, and holding the damaged thumb with his left hand, made a clean amputation of it, and then proceeded to have it dressed by a surgeon. Tue New Cent Piece, recently finished at the United States Mint, Philadelphia, is the size of the old half cent, and is composed of fifty-seven parts of copper, seven of nickel and one of zine. It has a light appearance, with a faint red tint, and is in beautiful contrast with the American silver and gold pieces, and will not, as the cent did, tarnish them by contact. The weight of the new is only sixty-two grains—that of the prenont copper cent is one hundred and sixtyeight. STEAM ON THE Rep Sea—The Viceroy of Egypt has determined to establish steam communication between various points on the shores of the Red Sea, and has chartered a steam navigation company, with a capital of ten millions dollars, of which the government will furnish three millions. The enterprise wilk be under the direction of Mustapha Bey, the nephew of the Viceroy. Nor Disaprowren.—The Sacramento Union says—“Fillmore men didn’t expect anythin from the elections in Pennsylvania, Indiana ap Ohio, and they have not been disappointed.””— If that is so; then the Fillmore orators in California “lied like the devil,’’ for every one of them proclaimed that Fillmore wo carry those States. Roppery IN San Franctsco.—The house of Adum Mengis, keeper of the Rassette Market, corner of Market and Sutter streets, was entered about 2 o’clock on Tuesday morning, Nov. 18th, and robbed of $1,600in gold coin, The money had been placed for safe keeping under the matting in his parlor, and was taken without awaking the family asleep up stairs. ; Fasnion ann Resiciox.—The New York Churchman laments that so many charchmen are not “cheerful givers,” bat give grudgingly or stintedly to church charities; and attributes the cause of this delinquency to ‘extravagance in female finery,’’ the expenditures for whieh, the Churchman avers, are as $1,000 to $50.

Manvracturge or Watcues ~The number of watches manufactured annually in Neufehatel, . Switzerland, may be calculated to be from 100,000 to 120,000, of which about 35,000 are in . gold, and the rest in silver. Now, supposing the first, on an average, to be worth $30, and the others $4, it would represent a capital of $1,390,000, without taking into consideration the sale of clocks and instruments for watehmaking, the amount of which is very large. The United States of America consume the largest . quantity of these watches. With the exception lof gold and silver for the manufacture of the watch cases, the other materials for the con. struction of the works of mechanism of the Neuf. chatel watches are of little value, consisting merely of a little brass or steel. The steel is imported from England, and is reconed the best that can be procured, the brass is furnished by France. With respect to gold and silver, the inhabitants of Neufchatel have had for a long time no other resource bat to melt current eoin, until they received gold from England. which the English merehants received from California, The number of workmen who are employed in watch-making is estimated at from 18,000 to 20,000, but it is diffienlt to arrive at the exagt the on yed oon in their own hovsewit Spring is the oldie has oecupied
