sir, ‘TE the Subscribers, Ilouse Joiners and Painters, b trade, having been using your "Artificial Slate " %r upwards of three years deem its pleasing duty to express our opinion. tltnt this composition far exceeds any other point for covering the Roofs Iloust-s,——apnrt front its fireproof quality its value for protecting wood front the decaying influence of the weather is exctsediitgly important. e know of iiiuuy buildings covered with stirred shingles painted witltAriiliri:il Shite, which have stood the rest of summer heat rind winter cold. which are now its smooth, as when first luid—ilte whole roof appears to ho ceinntlcil together, impervious to moisture and coiisequciitly not subject to decay.

We regard the application of“ Artificial Slate" to siiiml shingles its it matter of grout economic value, und feel desirous that it should be generally known that arrived shingles so covered are superior in point of finish und durtibillity, to those split and shaved—We are air, _vours,&c.

AN AKUSING RAIL-CAR PASSENGER.

Mr. Chambers. in his description of things as they are in America, gives the following account of a rson he met in the cars between Sandusky and Ievcland, 0.

Beside me in the car there sat an aged por- sonatze of lanky appearance, with thin_ clean- ahaven cheeks. and a broad-britrinted white hat, ratherthe worse for wear. He spoke continually, either in ejaculatory remarks. or in inquiries about everything. The car had just got under way, and all had settled in their places with the ordi- nary gravity of American _trsvslers, when my neighbor began in a pretty high key, addressing nobody in particular, and pausing about a minute at the close of every sentence :

“ Well here we are all safe, I hope. It's a pleasant thing to know we're going

. . . 0, yes! . . . otso cold as ycstcr- , day; no. . . The train seems to be running acioss the lake. . . ehsve nothing but water on both sides. . . . 0, see I was mistaken;thcro is a pile of lumber. . . .

Great lumbering trade hereabouts,_I guess. . Ihave been as far as Milwaukie,_to see my daughter, who is settled there——she is very cum- ghlg, way that. . But there's afine sunset, at any rate.” . . . (Looking at me) “ How far do you go, stranger? ' “ I am going to Cleveland and then to Cin- cinnati.”

"U, you're travelling that way, are you? Perhaps in the drygoods line?”

“No. Iam nottravelingz for business; only making an excursion to see some of the more interesting places in America.’

“Why, sure! You are from the old country, I guess. Well. now that is strange. What part

“ Are you? Well, we’ve no want of Scotch in the States; they're a’cute set of chaps—welI poste up on most things: Isuppoee _vou’re married. . . ou migltt be at any rate." . . . (Here he again began to miiuniler, speaking straightforward to the atmosphere.) “Well, well, marriage is a proper thing; no

Many people think they have nothing else to do. but make a present of chil- dren to uncles and grandfathers, as it they had not ltad enough to do looking after their own.

I . . . We shall stop in a minute.

And true enough, the train drew up. The passengers hurried out. and walked down an incliited platform, reached the bank of the river, and placed themselves upon what seemed a raft. without. railing or guard of any kind along the sides. As it was exceedingly dark. I cannot venture on a description of this I‘XIIIO|'rliII8I’_V ferry-boat which crossed the Cuyahoga river with the passengers and their baggage in a manner by no means pleasant. Several times, in passing under the ntoorintt line itf steam-vessels. we were told to duck down our heads, to avoid being swept from the unprotected deck: and :it these times. while there was .1 peiwrul lbfitfillitllfllt, mightlte heitrdthc eccentric Bo.-i'oiti:irt .~[tt’l|I(lItgt to himself aloud. “ Ay, ay, one does meet some-

more.

Amidst these audible miitterings, the ferry boat touched the quav;iind iii the scramble tvhit-h ensued. I saw and heard no more of my loquacioos fellow travcIler—the only person, by the way, of an inquisitive and prattling turn of mind whom it was ml’ fortune to encounter. and prohnltly one ofthc few survivors of that bv‘IIhne class of characters supposed to be peculiar to Ainerica. In the present day, so far its Icould see, the peopie oflhe United States have too mtich to do to mind anybody or anything fttriher than what concerns themselves; and so far from trottblinir ‘cu with questions, they are absolutely indifierent as to who or what you are, and let yoti go your way in peace.

Ifonc halfofthe pains was taken to‘ im- prove the human race that there is to itn- provc the breed ofshcep, the blood of horses, and the size of pumpkins, we should have some hope for tho “perfcctability of man- kind." But so long its physical and moral deformity and disease are licensed to per- petuate themselves, the breed of illshapen sinners will continue to multiply so rapidly as to postpone the tnillortiurn beyond the boundary of human hops.

CBONSTADT AND ITS PORTS. (Cerrsrportdsncs tg[‘IIis—.lV'. Y. Ihbuns.)

The followin description is from evidence derived psi-tl rom personal observation and partly fromt ose whose advantages of situation eusb ed than to make still more extensive investi tions and explorations than the writer himsel was able to do.

The fortress of Cronstadt lies about 25 miles from St. Petersburg, on the eastern point of Rothrai Ostrof. a little island in the interior extremity of the If of Finland. The island was former! cal ed by the Finns Rat Islands. It consists o chalk, and is about six miles long and one mile in breadth.

At the entrance to the harbor ropcr stands the Kronsdrloss, built by Peter t e Great, on aiiisland,just opposite the citadel; and the haven itttelf is approachable only through a very narrow and well-defended c aurtel. The passage between Kronschloss and Cronstadt is about 2,000 yards wide, and deep enough for vessels of the greatest draught.

Considereda rt from its great importance as a station or the Russian Baltic fleet, Cronstadt is not only St. Petersburg's protector against foreign attack, but also its haven. Here the ships are searched; and have those ofgreat draught must shift their cargoes u smaller craft. that can sail u the Nova, which, during the dr season. has o it not more than ten feet dept of water in its mouth. The entrance to the Neva is through two navigable channels. The not-thern channel is, by nature, very difiicult to navigate, on account of its nutnerous sandbnuks. and is now said to be rendered ultogctlter unnavigable, by sunken ships laden with stone the southern arm is much broader than the northern, but the navigable channel is ver narrow, an runs close up under the walls of Cronstodt, which walls are “ dotte with cannon.”

Cronstndt is ltuilt in the form ofs. scttlene triangle. with three harbors on the southerly side. The est:-rior or ntan-qf-war Ira ' completely inclosed by massive, strongly-forth lied moles, and is capable of affording shelter to about 35 ships of the line, thou h at periods of low water, many of these vesse s are cont- pclled to anchor in the middle harbor, which is principally used for fitting out and repairing vessels belonging to the fleet, and therefore includes docks, powder-magazines, cot, The third west or interior harbor, which affords room sullicient for 600 ships. and runs pitralled with the middle harbor. receives onl merchtintmen, for which vessels there is, besi es, an excellent place of refuge diner. outside the harbor, which is also pi-otccte by it fortress built in the Gulf close by Cronstadt.

The nature of the water here, renders it im- possible for it ship to exist more than 20 cars ittlongest , and besides this, they are inc osed in the ice it lnrgegiortion of the year, generally from the close of L ovember till the beginning

of la .

Abodt half the year. therefore, the harbor of Ci-onstadt is as dead as it desert, and the wide- extcnded monotony of ice is interrupted by only two roitds, one of which leads to St. Pctersburg. the other to Or-uuicnbaum. In the year 1849, the harbor at Cronstadt was covered with ice from the 24th of November to the 15th

0 it .

'l‘hcyconstruction and repartition of vessels

oon in Peter the Grants channel, which passes into the town between the middle and west ltarhors. It is 2,100 feet long, 56 feet wide, and :26 feet deep. Thehanks are of solid masonry, and the channel is filled and emptied by means of locks pad stcurii- umps. Immedi- ately in the vicinity are the ocks. where ten ships at once can undergo re oration. There. also, are the II and born toundi-ies and other inanufnctories of military materials. With the assistance of Catherine channel, which is 1,180 feet in len th, and is in com- munication with west har tor, the wur-vessels are enabled to sup ly themselves with neces- snrics direct from tie ningiizincs.

Hero is the Pilot Academy, in which 400 pupils, mostly the sons ofsea-captains, arc, during the winter, instructed in everything belon ing to navigation; while during the suminpr t te are at sea. either on board men-of-war or more ant- nten,in order to acquire it perfect knowledge of the Ilnltic and the Golf 0 Finland.
