At tho same time British statesmen are wise, lhcy arc far seeing, and they look Carefully before they strike. When the war feeling is excited in England it is by no means a sure indication that war Is desired or intended. Such a feeling is often of importance there to delude her own subjects and direct their attention from other topics on which it would not be safe for their minds to dwell. Wo think it probable that there is something of tho kind going on in England. But be this as it may, England will not fail to understand the full extent of every movement in our country by way of preparation for war.

A lamentable accident occurred at Elizabethtown about 9 o'clock last evening, by which a single man named Jzcob Vandcrpool, residing at "Galloping Hill," on the road to Westfield, paid the penalty of his rashness with his life. It appears that he had been in Seiplu's tavern, near the depot, in just such a state of inebriation as to add to his constitutional recklessness, and, contrary to remonstrance, drove his horse across the railroad track just as the Philadelphia train was passing.

It may have been that he did not hear the friendly caution, but at that point the train could be both seen and heard a qnartcr of a mile off. The pilot, or cow calchor," caught the wagon and turned it over, broke it to pieces, and carried it with the unfortunato man on it from Jcssey to Grand street, before the train could be stopped. He survived but a few minutes, his head having been broken, and awful wounds made in his side. Newark D. Adv.

They then dance round the tub, and after this a holy kiss goes round the circlo, each kissing the next neighbor, and the Reverend teacher going round and kissing all. He teaches that husbands and wives unequally yoked, believers with infidels, must part at the day of judgment: and that as the day is soon coining, they may as well anticipate it, and part hero below.

Salt. We are favored with a copy of the Report of the Superintendent of the Onondaga Salt Springs, and the Inspector of.Salt of Onondaga County. It con" tains the usual number of statistical tables, which are of no special interest to the general reader, and makes a number of suggestions for extending the production and improving the quality of salt in that region. The amount of revenue from all sources during the year is $226,219 73 of expenses and bounty, $132,259 83 nett revenue in 1845, $94,955 90.

The amount of salt delivered at tide water during tho past year exceeds that of any previous year by 5,046 bushels, though the quantity manufactured was somewhat less. The nett revenue, after deducting tho bounties on the Onondaga salt, greatly exceeds that upon tide water salt. This increase is ascribed by the report to the law passed in 1843, and re enacted at the last session of the Legislature. We quote: This law has opened new markets beyond tho limits of ths State, and increased the revenue, as had beon confidently expected. Tho duty of six cents per bushel enters into ihe cost of the article, and is finally paid by the consumer; ths consumers of Cnondaga salt residing other Statesorthc Union, and in the Canadas, have therefore been unconsciously contributing to augment the revenue of this State, and have aided to remove the burden of debt and taxation from our citizens.

Nor has this law operated to increase the cost of the article to the consumers of our own State. On the contrary, salt is as cheap, or cheaper, than it was before its passage. Besides the incrcaso of revenue from the duly on salt, the increase of canal tolls, in consequence of the extension of the market, farms no unimportant item in the beneficial results that flow from the law. These considerations should induce the Legislature to allow tho act to remain undisturbed, otherwise the instability and fluctuations of legisla tion will greatly jeopardize the interests both of the state and of the manufacturers. The italics in this passage are our own having been designed, like those of King James's translators, to bring out tho meaning of the author.

Still, we confess ourselves at some loss to understand by what mysterious process the duty of six cents per bushe' can enter into the cost of tho article, and be finally paid by the consumer, without increasing the cost of the article to that extent, at least. The theory of the modern protectionists that competition augments the supply and thus diminishes tho price does not lie here as the springs are owned, and tho manu facture cuntroled and regulated. by theStato which has always found a ready market for all the salt it could produce, and could not, therefore, have done any better had the circumstances been ever so favor able. It may be a very politic thing to make the consumers of salt residing in sther States of the Union, and in the Canadas, contribute uncon sciously towards removing the burden of debt and taxation fromourown citizens," by compelling them to pay a tax of six cents upon every bushel which they use but the justice of the measure is a different thing altogether. And besides; it unfortunately hap pens that this rule works both ways so that while tho people of other States, and of the Canadas, are nnconsciously paying the debts of their New York brethren, the latter are quite as unconscious ly paying a higher price, for an inferior article, than they could get a purer and better one at did not this admirable though mysterious arrangement exist.

The concluding portion of the above extract, viewed as a reason why the law should remain undistuibed, is certainly irresistible. Wo are only surprised at that excessive modesty which gave the State precedence of the manufacturers. The report says that the quality of the Onondaga salt is constantly improving, under the impulse given to its manufacture by the Legislature in passing the bounty law, which opened new markets and en abled the manufacturer tu compete with foreign salt at tide water, provided tbey presented there a pure article This act, it continues, has operated as a powerful inducement to tho manufacturers to iin prove the quality." Now, if any one thing has been established by experience, it is the contrary of the doctrine contuined in this extract. Protection, so far from operating as an inducement to improve tho quality of any manufacture, has uniformly operated as a hindrance to it. We do not imagine that New York salt is an exception to this general and univer il rule.

Why, then, should we, of the Empire, who are interested above all others in the promotion of free trade, resort to special and absurd pleas of this kind for the sake of enabling half a dozen persona to occupy lucrative berths? Let us be consistent, if possible; but above all things do not let us sacrifice our consciences and our general interests for such trifling considerations. The report speaks of an unfounded prejudice" which has obtained in some parts of the country against the use of Ononduga Bait and ungenerous ly attributes it to the misstatements and reports industriously circulated by dealers and persons inter ested in the sale of foreign salt." As a means of surmounting this prejudice, it recommends that the Legislature employ a chemist to analyze tho salt made at the solar evaporating works" ofOnonda ga, and also from as many of the common or fino salt works as may be necessary, and compare them with like samples of foreign salt. The objection, however, or, as the report has it, the unfounded prejudice," is not against salt made by solar evaporation, but by boiling. The analysis proposed, therefore, might not reach the difficulty. We think, on the whole, that the best way of over.

coming the trouble is either by repealing or dimin ishing Ihe duty upon foreign salt. IVelv ITork Globe.

S. Voraltyrof Brooklyn nhe aOth day of No" itMC dtf TfJOS t3 TALMAGE, Mayor, City Institute Lkcture. Horace Mann, de livered his second ieoture last evening before the Brooklyn Institute. His subject was Education and was treated in a most clear, convincing and eloquent manner. The lecture may be considered the very best with which the Institute audiences have been favored during tho present course.

Mr. Mann is apparently perfectly at home on this theme, and possesses a high degreo of enthusiasm in the As an instance of this it may be mentioned that shortly after his appointment as Superintendent of Common Schools in Massachusetts, he visited various countries of Europe, at his own expense, and examined the different systems of education which are there in operation. Mr. M. evidently belongs to that great class of reformers who have faith in man" and a belief that, by the right sort of culture, he is susceptible of arriving at perfection, not only intellectually but physically.

He condemned forci bly the folly of parents in often pursuing a course of life, regardless of the physical ills whish may come upon their offspring, which propagates the hereditary diseases of scrofula, gout, and consumption. He said that the law primogeniture did not obtain in these inheritances, but the most perfect democracy, inasmuch as all the children of a family thus afflicted shared alike. It was the first' duty of parents, who are selected by God to become the bearer of the gift of body to their children, to strenuously endeavor to preserve that gift pure and uncontaminated by disease. As a case in point, the lecturer mentioned the melancholy instance of Margaret Davidson, whose bright and beautiful intellect was nipped in the bud by the premature decay of its frail tenement. Who could read her life without emotion Pity weeps over every page of that mournful history and no human heart could avoid sympathy with the agonies of her last moments.

There was no such thing as an abatement of the penalty of a transgression of the laws which pertain to our nature. In this connection Mr. M. offered some salutary advice in regard to the rearing of the young. Intellectual education he divided into mental and moral and laid great stress upon the culture of the latter.

It was, he said, too much neglected in favor of the former, and teachers generally were obliged to pay less attention to it at the desire of parents who wished to see their children appear well at the end of the session. He took the ground that children acquire more during the first eight or ten years than in all the rest of their lives that any specific qualities could be cultivated and whether these faculties were developed aright depended altogether upon parents and teachers. From this point radiated all the light that could be thrown upon education. Ho was opposed to forcing the intellectual faculties, and characterized preco. cious children as merely so many apes.

Education should rather be conducted so as to expel evil dispositions, and teach children to overcome evil with good. The happiness of parents in prococious offspring was shortlived. Ha characterized Zerah Colburn, wonderful as he was, as nothing but a great incarnated multip'ication table. A child that grows, and radiates a moral lustre as he grows, is worth a thousand such. It was unfortunate that in our schools the intellectual should so overtop moral culture, and that such guards were placed upon the slightest deviation from the rules of arithmetic and grammar, while the moral sentiment was so utterly negleoted.

The wholo Bystem was throughly false he hinted at a total reform, and predicted the most glorious results to flow therefrom. Instead of the human raco being cursed with mangy and wheezy bodies, the right kind of education would endow them with forms as perfect as that of Apollo and with moral traits that would cause them to hunger in the desire to do good. The speaker was greeted throughout the lecture with frequent applause. 13" Tho Cricket Club of this city will shortly give a ball at Military Garden, being the first one of the kind in this country. ttj the police om.ee is in a very encouraging state of barrenness this morning not a ease on hand.
