Wealth of England.?"Fourteen
thousand persons are in prison for debt in
England and Wales.?N. Y. Star.
We have said that the great wealth of
England was associated with, and indeed,
founded upon, great poverty} and this
proves it If 1,500 persons ate able to
pay the national debt, or in other words,
are worth $3,500,000,000 while 14,000
are in prison for debt, ii is because the
fcuits of labor, earned by the many, are
monopolised by the few.?PUila. Public

Every thing is to be gained and nothing
lost, by learning a boy a good trade. If
the lad has no genius for a more elew%0fe
pursuit, he is at leas* able to earn an hon CSt
livelihood ut his bumble, hut htf*nr?
means discreditable vocation?and if he
has genius, the trade will not curb, cripple
or stifle it, no more than a passing cloud
obsenrrs the natural brightness of the sun.
Look through the country, and examine
well the history of our great men. In
^ nine cases out of ten, they are of humble
parentage* and commenced life as apprentices
to honest mechanics and tradesmen.
With them they imbibed habits of industry,
by which almost any tiling may be
accomplished. Without them nothing.
There never was a truer or more beautiful
aphorism?"Train tip a child in ihe,
way he should go, and when lie is old, he'
will not depart from it?" Bring up your
children in idleness, and they may become
beggars?learn them to be industrious.
Abuses op Reliqion.?Very many evils i

would abolish religion altogether, are en- I
thusiasts of the most deranged species?
and their madness is exhibited by their
attempting what is wholly impracticable?
as much so as an attempt to*change the
nature of man. Even if religion he an
imposture, it is so interwoven with men's
ideas of moral obligation, that a destruction
of their faitfi is apt to destroy their
morality : because there are but u few i
whose minds are capable of unuerstaoding
the philosophical reasons lor preferring a
virtuous 1 i lie. A moral man must either
be a religious man, or a philosopher ; he
who is incapable of understanding any motives
for the practice of virtue, save those
which arise from a knowledge of the legal
or religious penalties awarded to vice, is
very apt to lose his morality with the destruction
of hi* religious faith. A philosopher,
on the other hand, though an atheist,
may be a virtuous.mun, because li s
enlarged comprehension leaches him that
a moral life is most productive of his own
interests.
tjreat Meeting at Tammany Hall.

The Report of the Committee was
listened to with the deepest attention, and
the name of each candidate was submitted
to the meeting separately : and, what is
more remarkable in such a vast assemblage,
when the ayes and noes were called,
not a single no was heard on any candidate.
The greatest unanimity and good,
feeling were exhibited throughout the
whole of the proceedings.
After the Report and Resolutions were
adopted, rur distinguished Representative
the Hon. C. C. Cambrel en g, was rail d

This faslti'innllle beverage, almost a

in Asia, caused a violent reli
giotts seism among the Mahometan doctors,
almost as early as the thirteenth
century, although it was not till towards
the middle of the sixteenth, that a coffee
house properly so calhd, was established
at Constantinople: its discovery was announced
by a miraculous legend which
each sect relates in its own way. A dervise,
says a certain heterodox rational
iriussnlman, if such there be, **a dervise
overflowing with zeal or with bile, was
sorely troubled on observing that his
brethren were not animated by a spirit
active as his own: he saw, veili concern,
that they were listless and drnusy in the
performance of their religious wxercises,
their ecstacies, their bowlings, their whirlings
round, their vertigoes, their bclJuwjngs,
and laborious breathings.

a certain leaf; judging, by analogy, that
the same effect might be produced on other
animals, he gave his companions n
strong infusion of it; their heaviness and
torpor were almost instantly removed, and
they performed the parts allotted to them
with exemplary activity and vigor; the
leaf so powerful in its effects proved to
be the shrub (roin which coffee berries
after wads were gathered."
"Listen not to such profane heresies,"
says an orthodox doctor of Mecca, "it
was in the sixth hundred and sixty-sixth
year of the tlegira (about the middle of
the thirteenthrentuty of the Christian era)
that Abotihasan SrazJi, on a pilgrimage
to the tomb of our most holy prophet,
sinking under fatigue, extreme heat, and
aid age, called uuto him Omar, a venerable
Schcick, his friend and companion,
and thus -uidressed hint:
"Teacher of the faithful! the angel of
death hath lai his hand upon me; cleansed
from my corruptions in the waters of
Paradise, 1 hope soon to be in the presence 1
of our prophet; but I cannot depart in |
peace, till 1 have done justice to thy zeal, *
thy f.?ith, and hy friendship; persevere
in the path thou itasl so long trod, a*d rely
on him w/io drove theinfidels lik.J sheep
before him, to extricate thee from all thy
difficulties: farewell, sometimes think of
Abouhusan, pity his errors, and do justice
to his good name*" he would have spoken
further, but his breath failed, his eyes became
dim, and pressing that hand he was!
to Dress no more, he exnired without a
- tr ' - ? *
groan.
"Having performed the last office of
friendship, Omar pursued his way; but, a
f< w days after, lost in devout contemplation,
or -overwhelmed with sorrow, he
wandered from his associates in the caravan,
and was not sensible of his situation,
till involved in one oi those whirlwinds,
which, raising into the air the sandy soil
of thai country, generally prove destructive,
Falling on his face, the fury of the
blast, and the thick cloud of sand passed
over him: almost suiTo ated with dust,
notwithstanding the precaution he hail taken,
separated from the companions of
his journey, without water to moisten his
parched mouth, and tainting for want of
sustenance, he gave riiinseli tip for a lost
man, iht* stream of life was propelled with
difficulty, perception and sensation began
to fail, ami believing himself in the agonies
of death, he poured forth a mental
ejaculation to Allah.
"A angel of light immediately stood
before hint, waving his hand thrice towards
the hoi} city, and pronouncing deliberate*
ly three mysterious words; a limpid
si cam suddenly gushed from the ground
and a luxuriant shrub sprung forth from
the barren sand of the desert; bathing
; the temples, the eyes, and the lipsot Omar,
I with the refreshing fluid, the celestial
messenger disappeared.
The cool stream, and the berries plucked
fro * the miraculous tree, soon recovered
the sinking man; he poured forth
his s >ul in tha ksgiving, and sunk into a
deep sleep, from which he awoke in full
vig -r and spirits.
'Omar, with renewed strength, soon
rejoined tin caravan, and relating the supernatural

KCCLKSIAM 1CAL TKIAL,.
The Ecclesiastical Court, assembled f-r
the trial of the Riglit Rev. B. B. Smith,
Bishop of the Diocese of Kentucky, coinposed
of the Right Rev. Charles P McIlvaine,
Bishop of Ohio, the Rt. Rev.
Jackson Kemper, Bishop of Missouri and
Indiana, and the Rt. Rev. Samuel A. McCoskrv,
Bishop of Michigan, closed its <
labors on Wrclnco?lay lust, after a most;
laborious session of three weeks and
three days.
The decision of the Court in the case ,
was reed on Wednesday at II o'clock, A.
M.f by Bishop Mcllvainc, president of the
Court. The "charges" against Bishop
Smith, were six in number, and the "specifications"
under these several charges
were one hundred and thirty-four. The
canons of the Diocese, prescribing the,
mode of the trial, made it imperative upon
the Court to decide upon each specification
separately, and pronounce "guilty or
not guilty," that is to say, ncroiding to
the explanation of the Court, whether the '
facts alleged in the specifications were
true or not true. The Court found the
accused, under the signifi .ation of the
term, "guilty" of some of the specifica- i
tions, (how many we do not remember)
without criminality; hut found him "not
| guilty" on all the charges preferred ocrainst i
him, in the presentment, and fully and
honorably acquitted him.
The close of this trial was one of the
most solemn, impressive and affecting
scenes we have eve- witnessed. Chris 's
chtirch, where the trial was held, was |
crowded in every part, by an audience
manifesting the most intense interest in
the result. The accused, habited in a
rochet, was seated in front nf tli? <Vnri
?- ~ V/%?M. If
in the left aisle of the Church, supported
by the Rev. Mr. Jackson of Louisville.
On a chair in fr->nt of the accused, were
hung his robes of office. The Bishops
composing the court were habited in their
full official costume, and made a most imposing
appearance. During the reading
of the decision, the most profound silence
[reigned in the Church, all eyes being fixed
with the most intense anxiety upon the
Right Rev. President of the Court. As
soon as the filial result was pronounced,
'the audience, to manifest their approba-(
tion, commenced dappling, which, however,
was immediately arrested by the]
President of the Court, who raised his
1 hand, in token of his request that silence
should be observed. He then, on behalf
of himself and his associates, said, in substance,
that the Right Rev. B. B. Smith,
having been acquitted of the charges alj
leged against him, they were ready to re- ]
'ceive him in the most perfect and unreserved
confidence, after he was re-invesi
ted in his robes of office, into the nlace
lie had before occupied, within th chancel,
'and to salute him as their brother in the
church, and as worthy of Christian and
official fellowship with them.
The Church choir, accompanied by the
organ, then commenced singing an appro1
priate him, to the solemn and impressive
' tune of Old Hundred, during which
1 Bishop Smith took his place within the
chancel. After the h> inn had closed,
' Bishop Mrllvainc pronounced a benediction
and dismissed the audience. There
were but few dry eyes in the Church, and
the Court itself were deeply effected by
> the scene. Many of the congregation, as
? soon as dismissed, overcome with the
> emotion, rushed toward the chancel, to
congratulate the accused upon his acquittal,
and to take an affectionate leave of
the Right Rev. gentlemen composing the
iCourt, whoao amia'ble ami dignified dc?

Cholera Bulletin.?From the 11th to

our sapient board ol health to issue an or*
dinance subjecting all arrivals from the |
South of France, the Riviera of Genoa,
Leghorn, the Roman territory, Malta, and
Venice, to ten days' quarantine, and notwithstanding
the dissent of ihe King, it i
is already enforced. 'I he arrivals from '
all parts of Sicily are allowed without
restriction, though in Catania alone the
number of victims is 300 a day.- But it
docs not appear to suit the government !
to break off the communication with Sicily I
during the present stale of affairs there.'
It is sti a ge that Rome does not admit
arrivals from Naples, though no impediment
is thrown in the way of travellers
from Rome hither- The reason may be
that the quarantine by land does not yield
any perquisites, as is the ease with ships.

A postscript, dated the 17th ult., which *

changes at the Porte were not yet

probably witness their termination. The

in a striking manner that our countrymen

and disgrace which the Churchill
affair cost him. A report prevailed at
Constantinople, that serious disturbances
had broken out at Candia, which is an nppenduge
to the vice-royalty of Egypt;
nothing that we can find in the Augsburg
Gazette, which brings the news from
Smyrna, down to the 17th ult. confirms
this report. There was beginning to be

Our foreign intelligence continues to

The French papers announce that
the dissolution of the Chamber of Deputies
had taken place. The elections will
lake place on the 4th of next month, and
the n? w Chambers will assemble on tho

It is stated that the bey of Constantino
has conccntri ted a force of 37,000 men,
including 5,000 Turkish soldiers, for the
defence of his capital. He is also well
supplied with artillery and provisions.
The news from Spain and Portugal is
scarcely worth Rotice, excepting as it affords
an opportunity of remarking upon
the fatuitoiis policy of Lord Palmerslonc.
The M orning Herald has the following
amusing remarks on the issue of the recent
conflict between the insurrectionary
forces under the Viscount Las Santas:?
A very- little fighting appears to have
been more than enough for the warlike
stomachs ol the belligerent factious of
liberalized' Portugal, when left to decide
their quarrel without British armed auxiliaries
on either side, or any thing in the
shape of actual foreign intervention.?
II ere, as in Spain, the party espoused by
Lord Palmerston has been worsted, for
his lordship is a Pedroite or moderate
liberal in Portugal, and a Calatravist, or
ultra liberal in Spain. But whichever
side he takes, is the side sure 'to go the
wall.' When Cupid forsakes his groves
ol myrtle, and presides over the field of
Mars, his military proteges are usually
rewarded with a precious lack of laurel.
In the ill-fated enterprise of the''characterislia'
Sahlanha was his hero, though oil
the occasion he lent hiin only his good
wishes, not his marines, while the manoliouent
Bomfim dir??#?iid iti^ mnrtioi
M ...% iomi iu> in v/ ftments
of the constitutionalists. Our readers
recollect the account which we gave
not long since of the ludicrously pathetic
encounter between those worthies, who,
in the midst of the 'shock of battle,' agreed
that it was better to brandish pens than
swords, and shed ink than blood, in determining
the quarrel, and so resolved to
settle the affair by the protocol system,
which settled nothing, except to make it
a 'settled point,' that there should be another
appeal to the sword.'
"The account which our readers have
since seen in our columns of the defeat
and surrender of Saldanha's army must
have proved to them the correctness of the
opinion which we expressed of the heroism
of both factions, when wc said that if
toTeigners did not interfere in the quarrel,
the military prowess displayed on cithcF
6iile, would not niueh accelerate the ordinary
march of mortality. The field of
buttle which decided the civil war in
Portugal did not present a more formidable
list of casualties than sometimes occurs
at an 'Irish row" Yet, though the
army of SaManha was beaten ?nnd
compelled to surrender, not by the great
Bomfim, but by the Viscount has Antas,
it cannot be said that Saldnnha himself
was beaten,as If appears that his army went
