Bayard Taylor, in the course of & recent letter, from which we glean the underadded particulars, obsérves that ‘‘Russia offers herself as midwife, wet-nurse, mother and 'téacher, for every new soul for whorh ‘there is no place among the homes of Her people.” For this purpose she has'to immense hospitals, one at Moscow, and a branch, which is much the largest institution, at St. Petersburg ; both of which Were founded by Catharine II. nestly‘one hundtéd years ago. A portion of the government revenues is set adide for their maintenance, and the ertiie property devoted to the support and edttcation of foundlings is said to-amdant to the endrmous sum of five ‘hundred ‘millions ‘of dollars. The Moscow Hosyital cannot be much less, says Taylor, thana thetsand feet in length, and he estimates its size as three ‘times that ‘of the Capitol at Washington. The government of this institution is otily second to that of the ‘ity itself, and is always conferred upon a nodletian of distinguishTe-led rank ahd attamments. The annual expenses amount to $5,000,000. The number of children confided to its ‘Care has increased froth a few hundred i 1762, to 14,000 in 1857. Since the commencement of this year (Jan. 13, 0. S.) 6,032 have arrived. ‘The entire niimber received in ninetysix years is 330,000, to which may be added 60,000 more, born in the lying-in hespital during the samié pe: riodmaking 390,000 in all. The St. Petersburg branch afford’ still larger return’, so that at présent 30,000 children are annually given into the care of the government. A very large proportion of them sre the offspring of poor married people. The office for their reception is kept open night and day, and no living child which is offered can be refused. The St. Petersburg hospital, al. though in the heart of the city, cov~ ers, with its dependencies, twentyeight acres of ground. Upward of 500 teachers are employed. The number of nurses, servants, and other’persons employed in the establishment amounts to uoward of 5,000. The boys and girls, both here and at Moscow are taught separately. The cost of their education, alone, is more than $1,000,000 annually. In a word, Rtissia spends on her orphans and castaways as much as the entire revenues of Sweden, Norway, and Greece. Taylor discusses the moral influénce of these hospitals at some length and with much forte; and does not hesitate ts declare that the effect of the system has not béen detrimental to the general morality of the Russian people. He says, “In Ruséid, infanticides and abortions aré almost unknown ;” and hé teasonably imputes this fact to the existente of the fouttiling hospitals, which stay entop nga .

As the sword of the best tempered metal is most flexible, so the trily generous are the most plisnt and courteous in their behavior fo’ their! inferiors, Bee Steam navigation is not'a new idea, born in the brain of the last or present century, but there are many who ignorantly think otherwise, and for their edificdtion we publish the following ‘very ‘interesting extract from ‘a'tétént‘xddréss of Edward Everett : 4 “Pro Videnice’ Offered this ‘problem . . of navigating the océan by Steam to [almost every éivilized nation on the globe. As'long ago as the yéar 1543 _. there was a sea captain i in Spain who constructed a steam ‘vessel, “and in the presence of the Einperor larles the Fifth—I state facts of but litnited notoriety—in the presence of Charles . the Fifth, in the harbor of Barce‘Tlona, ‘ehiatad a vessel of two bundred tuns, propelled by an engine, the construction of which was kept a secret, but the ancient documents tell us it wasa monster cauldron of boiling water, and that there were two movable wheels on the oltside of the vessel. The Emperor was satisfied with its operation, but the Treasurer of the kingdom made great objections to'lts introduction. The engine seems to'kave at first sprung to a point of perfection ‘hardly surpassed in the present.day. It was very complicatéd, very expensive, and the boiler was very apt to explode. Sir, no encouragement was given to the enterprise. Spain was not ripe for it. The age was not ripe for it. The poor contriver, Vasco de Gothez, wearied and disgusted with the want of patronage, took the engine out of the vessel, allowed the ship to rot ‘in the areenal, and the secret of the maghine was buried in his grave. This was the result‘in 1548. -A century passes aWay, ahd Providence offers the sanie problem to be solved by France; and in reference to this, we have a most extrkdrdinary account froth a 8ource equally ‘extradrdinary— a celebrated femafe in the middle of that ‘century, equally renowned for her beauty, for her Smmoralities, for her tisfortunes, and for her longevity —for she lived to be 134 years of age—Marion De Lorme. We have all read of her in the médern writings of fiction. There is a fetter written by this lady to ‘dne of her &dmirers in 1641, which céntains these most astonishing details. She gives an account of a visit with the Marquis of Worcester, the English nobleman so well known in the history of idvention, to the mad house in Paris. She was ‘crossing the court yard of that dismal establishment, almiost petrified, she says, with terror; clinging to her companion for safety, when she saw a frightful face thro gh the bars of the building, and heard its voice, saying: ‘f am not mad; I am not mad ; and have made a discovery which will Snrich the kingdom that shall adcpt it.’ Well, sir, she asked her guide what the man meant. He shrugged his shoulders and laughed and said, ‘Oh, not much ; its something about the powers of steam.’ Upon this the lady laughed also—that a man ahould go mad upon such a frivolotis subject as that; andthe guide went: on to tell her that this poor Solomon De Coste came from Normandy four years before, to exhibit to the King an invention by which, by the power of steam, you could move 4 carriage, you could navigate the ocean, —in . $15 short, if you could believe him, Said the keeper, there was nothing that you could not do by::the power of Steam. Well now, Mr. President. what followed upon this? Cardinal Richelieu, who was France embodied, wielding the whole power of the kingdom, and was in truth a most sagacious and enlightened man, as worldly wisdom goes,—the Cardinal would not hear @ word from the projector and turned his back upon him. Solomon De Coste. was persevering men and followed Richelieu from plac2 to plice, exhibiting his drawings, and the Cardinal getting tired of him, sent him to the mad ‘house. There he was, and there He was seen. The guide wént On to say that his mind is so fall of the subject that he has written # book, and, sai he, ‘here is a@ copy of it; talted "Moving Powers.’ The Marquis of Worcedter was very much struck with the. apnesrenn of land has decided that ill-health is De Coste and was much interested ‘with the book, and. incorporated: com . siderable portions of it in his celebrated work, ‘The Century of Inventions.’ ” THE HYDRAULIC PRESS A Few Words About Alcoholic Drinks. The baneful effects of intétepérdrite have been so often portrayed and di. lated upon that no one can plead ig~ éfance of them,‘ tor need a recapit~ ulation of them at our hands. Every one knows that, next to gambling and . ; licetitiousness, intemperance has been the special ‘curse ‘of California—the vortex which has drawn ‘thousands . & down to ruin. . A few years ago ‘the public ihind was aroused to the necessity of some . action for the abotement of this great evil, and for awhile nearly every community contained its zealous reformers, and felt'the beneficent ‘inHuence of their righteous labors. Buta season of discouragement came; the workers faltered and seperated, and now nearly all concerted action on their part has ceased. They did much to reform the State, and it can never relapse to its old condition of depravity. Still, people will tipple, aad ‘it ‘is always seasohable to day a few words against the practice. A correspon~ dent Writing to us dh 'the subject, de~ plores the eXisteiice of so many or some ‘saloons were liquor is expose for sle, and thiks the attractions ot showy furniture, ‘&c., with which these places are fitted up, go far to make many persons drinkers ho would not otherwise be so. This may be the case, but in our opinion it is a man’s inclinations that draw him to liquor bars, and wherever we see a large number of saloons it is tolerably safe to infer that they are wanted or elso they would not exist. Our correspondent retnarks on the custom of “treating” as follows: “A man who would despisé taking a drink of the raw material out of a jug, in obscure places, when in company with his friends will drink to be sociable, or in public with his acquaintatices to maintai his popularity. He might mele the same propriety go with his femate acquaintances into a confectionary shop, kept by 4 pretty girl; and swallo a pound of almonds, shells and all; Just to be dociable, or, at the re~ quest of a friehd, take a dose of fish hooks for the piirpose of showing his attachment. T e whole yatem of “treating” i is ridiculons id disgraceful.” Our correspondent concludes thus: “In our thriving village there are upward of twenty places where liquor ia dosed dut in quantities to suit imbibers. Ten dollars per day isa very low estimate for the receipts of each bar, which would make $200 in all, or $i, 400 a-week, amounting to thé enormous sum of $72, 800 per annum, expended for poisonous Gay erages in a town of about one thousands inhabitants! [No doubt $20 per day would be a riore correct av~ erage of the daily receipts at each liquor establishthent; and this would give the astoundiri totiil of $145,600 speci i in one year fo or g! N early. g Da ySat for each h Hhan,woman and. * child in thé place !] J poe what an ininierise aifiount of good might be done will this sui which is now productive only « “ were and misery. Why, th unt spent for rum would ‘chen every tian in town a collecticn of books worth at least $200; or it would. build an edifice like our court-house, and line that with valuable reading matter. Think of this, reader, when your throat tickles for a glass, and go deposite your bit for some such purpose ; or buy a newspaper, and you will find that even dry reading is mach more beneficial than damp mixtures.” be@He who cannot reason isa fool; He who will tot reason is a big. obs ‘avd he who dare nof reason is a. 3: ‘slave. par-The Queen’s s Bench in Engsufficient excuse ~ a breath’ of a a ‘went in, and pect New Ideas.

Bayard Taylor, in the course of & recent letter, from which we glean the underadded particulars, obsérves that ‘‘Russia offers herself as midwife, wet-nurse, mother and 'téacher, for every new soul for whorh ‘there is no place among the homes of Her people.” For this purpose she has'to immense hospitals, one at Moscow, and a branch, which is much the largest institution, at St. Petersburg ; both of which Were founded by Catharine II. nestly‘one hundtéd years ago. A portion of the government revenues is set adide for their maintenance, and the ertiie property devoted to the support and edttcation of foundlings is said to-amdant to the endrmous sum of five ‘hundred ‘millions ‘of dollars. The Moscow Hosyital cannot be much less, says Taylor, thana thetsand feet in length, and he estimates its size as three ‘times that ‘of the Capitol at Washington. The government of this institution is otily second to that of the ‘ity itself, and is always conferred upon a nodletian of distinguishTe-led rank ahd attamments. The annual expenses amount to $5,000,000. The number of children confided to its ‘Care has increased froth a few hundred i 1762, to 14,000 in 1857. Since the commencement of this year (Jan. 13, 0. S.) 6,032 have arrived. ‘The entire niimber received in ninetysix years is 330,000, to which may be added 60,000 more, born in the lying-in hespital during the samié pe: riodmaking 390,000 in all. The St. Petersburg branch afford’ still larger return’, so that at présent 30,000 children are annually given into the care of the government. A very large proportion of them sre the offspring of poor married people. The office for their reception is kept open night and day, and no living child which is offered can be refused. The St. Petersburg hospital, al. though in the heart of the city, cov~ ers, with its dependencies, twentyeight acres of ground. Upward of 500 teachers are employed. The number of nurses, servants, and other’persons employed in the establishment amounts to uoward of 5,000. The boys and girls, both here and at Moscow are taught separately. The

cost of their education, alone, is more than $1,000,000 annually. In a word, Rtissia spends on her orphans and castaways as much as the entire revenues of Sweden, Norway, and Greece. Taylor discusses the moral influénce of these hospitals at some length and with much forte; and does not hesitate ts declare that the effect of the system has not béen detrimental to the general morality of the Russian people. He says, “In Ruséid, infanticides and abortions aré almost unknown ;” and hé teasonably imputes this fact to the existente of the fouttiling hospitals, which stay entop nga .

As'long ago as the yéar 1543 _. there was a sea captain i in Spain who constructed a steam ‘vessel, “and in the presence of the Einperor larles the Fifth—I state facts of but litnited notoriety—in the presence of Charles . the Fifth, in the harbor of Barce‘Tlona, ‘ehiatad a vessel of two bundred tuns, propelled by an engine, the construction of which was kept a secret, but the ancient documents tell us it wasa monster cauldron of boiling water, and that there were two movable wheels on the oltside of the vessel. The Emperor was satisfied with its operation, but the Treasurer of the kingdom made great objections to'lts introduction. The engine seems to'kave at first sprung to a point of perfection ‘hardly surpassed in the present.day. It was very complicatéd, very expensive, and the boiler was very apt to explode. Sir, no encouragement was given to the enterprise. Spain was not ripe for it. The age was not ripe for it. The poor contriver, Vasco de Gothez, wearied and disgusted with the want of patronage, took the engine out of the vessel, allowed the ship to rot ‘in the areenal, and the secret of the maghine was buried in his grave. This was the result‘in 1548. -A century passes aWay, ahd Providence offers the sanie problem to be solved by France; and in reference to this, we have a most extrkdrdinary account froth a 8ource equally ‘extradrdinary— a celebrated femafe in the middle of that ‘century, equally renowned for her beauty, for her Smmoralities, for her tisfortunes, and for her longevity —for she lived to be 134 years of age—Marion De Lorme. We have all read of her in the médern writings of fiction. There is a fetter written by this lady to ‘dne of her &dmirers in 1641, which céntains these most astonishing details. She gives an account of a visit with the Marquis of Worcester, the English nobleman so well known in the history of idvention, to the mad house in Paris. She was ‘crossing the court yard of that dismal establishment, almiost petrified, she says, with terror; clinging to her companion for safety, when she saw a frightful face thro gh the bars of the building, and heard its voice, saying: ‘f am not mad; I am not mad ; and have made a discovery which will Snrich the kingdom that shall adcpt it.’ Well, sir, she asked her guide what the man meant. He shrugged his shoulders and laughed and said, ‘Oh, not much ; its something about the powers of steam.’ Upon this the lady laughed also—that a man ahould go mad upon such a frivolotis subject as that; andthe guide went: on to tell her that this poor Solomon De Coste came from Normandy four years before, to exhibit to the King an invention by which, by the power of steam, you could move 4 carriage, you could navigate the ocean, —in . $15 short, if you could believe him, Said the keeper, there was nothing that you could not do by::the power of Steam. Well now, Mr. President. what followed upon this? Cardinal Richelieu, who was France embodied, wielding the whole power of the kingdom, and was in truth a most sagacious and enlightened man, as worldly wisdom goes,—the Cardinal would not hear @ word from the projector and turned his back upon him. Solomon De Coste. was persevering men and followed Richelieu from plac2 to plice, exhibiting his drawings, and the Cardinal getting tired of him, sent him to the mad ‘house. There he was, and there He was seen. The guide wént On to say that his mind is so fall of the subject that he has written # book, and, sai he, ‘here is a@ copy of it; talted "Moving Powers.’ The Marquis of Worcedter was very much struck with the. apnesrenn of land has decided that ill-health is De Coste and was much interested ‘with the book, and. incorporated: com . siderable portions of it in his celebrated work, ‘The Century of Inventions.’ ” THE HYDRAULIC PRESS A Few Words About Alcoholic Drinks. The baneful effects of intétepérdrite have been so often portrayed and di. lated upon that no one can plead ig~ éfance of them,‘ tor need a recapit~ ulation of them at our hands. Every one knows that, next to gambling and . ; licetitiousness, intemperance has been the special ‘curse ‘of California—the vortex which has drawn ‘thousands . & down to ruin. . A few years ago ‘the public ihind was aroused to the necessity of some . action for the abotement of this great evil, and for awhile nearly every community contained its zealous reformers, and felt'the beneficent ‘inHuence of their righteous labors. Buta season of discouragement came; the workers faltered and seperated, and now nearly all concerted action on their part has ceased. They did much to reform the State, and it can never relapse to its old condition of depravity. Still, people will tipple, aad ‘it ‘is always seasohable to day a few words against the practice. A correspon~ dent Writing to us dh 'the subject, de~ plores the eXisteiice of so many or some ‘saloons were liquor is expose for sle, and thiks the attractions ot showy furniture, ‘&c., with which these places are fitted up, go far to make many persons drinkers ho would not otherwise be so. This may be the case, but in our opinion it is a man’s inclinations that draw him to liquor bars, and wherever we see a large number of saloons it is tolerably safe to infer that they are wanted or elso they would not exist. Our correspondent retnarks on the custom of “treating” as follows: “A man who would despisé taking a drink of the raw material out of a jug, in obscure places, when in company with his friends will drink to be sociable, or in public with his acquaintatices to maintai his popularity. He might mele the same propriety go with his femate acquaintances into a confectionary shop, kept by 4 pretty girl; and swallo a pound of almonds, shells and all; Just to be dociable, or, at the re~ quest of a friehd, take a dose of fish hooks for the piirpose of showing his attachment. T e whole yatem of “treating” i is ridiculons id disgraceful.” Our correspondent concludes thus: “In our thriving village there are upward of twenty places where liquor ia dosed dut in quantities to suit imbibers. Ten dollars per day isa very low estimate for the receipts of each bar, which would make $200 in all, or $i, 400 a-week, amounting to thé enormous sum of $72, 800 per annum, expended for poisonous Gay erages in a town of about one thousands inhabitants! [No doubt $20 per day would be a riore correct av~ erage of the daily receipts at each liquor establishthent; and this would give the astoundiri totiil of $145,600 speci i in one year fo or g!

Why, th unt spent for rum would ‘chen every tian in town a collecticn of books worth at least $200; or it would. build an edifice like our court-house, and line that with valuable reading matter.
