The application of sciatica to industrial arts is be- coming more and more an object ofetudy. and is find- ing its way into institutions which have I scorned everything that ur classical ' the age. And we wonder. II the basalts that bllow departure from aaold ualatellfieat ieetiae. By the new process, the thifiec ox-hide may now be tanned is two houreoud a hlf, without bark; and walrus- skia, which required her years on the old method, can law be convened lsto leather is about as many hours. at another its last article of trade of late, the manufacture of Hunt sugar in

And new in tho iroa manufacture are talked about. which. conaido be enormous and increasing demand for that metal, may have im rtaut consequences. ' our own railways, a those which are anon to stretch from Bombay and Calcutta to the foot of tho Himalayas, tho Australians have dotermlnsd on laying down railways, seeing that they can get no other kind of road, exce t very had ones. What a demand will thus be crest in our antipodal and Indian ' us! This, however. the Ameri- cans tell us, is to be as nothing compared with theirs; for they will want two million tons of rail for tho ten thousand niilee of railway they are going to lay in tho nest ten years--to say nothing of renewals. One conclusion safely to be drawn from all this is, that no one will needle emigrate for want of work in this countr .

Robert Stephenson has been proving to the citizens of Montreal tho 'b' ' of what has long been deemed impomib e—buildiag a bridge over tho St. Lawrence that shall not be carried away by tho ice. The connection of the two shores of the river by s

rmanent structure becomes more desirable, now that the railway from Portland, in the state of Maine, to Montreal, is begun, and which, when its 250 miles are completed, will ullord means of comiuuuicstion between the coast and tho interior during the winter, when the water-channels are frozen tip. There is a

reject, too, for a railway suspension -bridge at Que- ee, to be made of wire‘, 8400 feet long, with sup- rting towers, 380 feet high. I000 feet apart, and the roadway [62 feet above tho stream. A screw- steamer has just reached Liverpool direct from Q39- bec, a forerunner of further Canadian enterprise in the same direction. Bands of explorers have been busy on the lathinus, and some of their surveys prov- ed highly adventurous. It is a curious fact, that whet is believed to be the best route for a railway. is the track which the buffaloes have followed from time immemorial. It is car that the wants of the west- ern coast will not be satisfied until a speedy and safe road is established across that narrow territory. Gold alone lonno a la e item in the transit returns. In the first six months o I851, the value of the precious met- al shipped from California was £2,670,000; in the same half of 1352, it was £8,870,000; and in the same ofthe present year, £5,800,000.

Much satisfaction is felt in the fact, that iucs bles have become fewer here as well as in Irelan . July 1852, the paupers in the unions of England and Wales numbered I00,I72; in July ofthis year, ‘Its,- 639. Should this go on, the buildings will be avail- able by and for People's Coll ea. As it is, the work of education will be begun. or the Poor-law Board have offered to supply work-house schools throughout the difl'eraat unions a rishee with . ms . and other materials of teaching, at a reduction of about one-half of the usual price. The government publishing grievance is likely to come to an end. notice having been issued from the 'I‘reasury, that when the present contract with Mr. Thorn, the Irish printer. has lieeri completed, it will not be renewed; tliea, booksellers will have what they have been wishing for with regard to educational worda—a clear held and no favor. The condition of China has led sending over to that country a million of Testaments in the Chinese language, and " The Pilgrim's Progress, which as been recently trans- lated. The improvements In typography are such, that the cost of either book would not be more than about four oe.

Tits Mutts Law IN ENGLAND.-—Tlle Temperance men in En land are about to petition their Parliament for a. prohibitory liquor law. There are 2527 licensed brcw_- era in the British Islands, 88, 400 persons licensed to sell spirits and wine, and 38, licensed to sell beer. In I85], 3l,000,000 gallons of spirits were consumed in Great Britain in one year with nearly 6,500,000 gallons of foreign wine. The whole amount thence accruing to the public revenue is over fifteen millions sterling. It will be seen from this statement, that the Te_mper- ance men have a formidable opposition to encounter.

Pitrraitarioxts roii Canvas: Wait.- The Chinese are buying up American ves- sels and American seamen for the war. The San Francisco Herald says: “ In ad- dition to the ship Hamilton, we learn that several large vessels have recently been purchased by Chinese merchants, and are now being fitted out in this port, for the opposite coast of the Pacific. They will be navigate by American seamen, but will sail under the Chinese flag. his will enable them to visit Japan, and we are disposed to think such is the pur ose of the owners. It is said they are esirous of i-aching Jeddo about the time Com. Perry’s squadron has brought the Islanders to terms.”

The population of India is estimated at 150,000,000, of which two-thirds are under the sway of Great Britian. This population is very unequally distributed. Some parts of the valley of the Ganges are as densely peopled as China, while other parts of India have but a slight population. There are, in this country, ten distinct nations, speaking ten different Ian uages, with a great number of dialects. u all these lan- guages, and dialects foreign tongues inter- mingle-such as the Sanacrit, Arabia and Persian. This foreign intermixture is great- est in the north part of Hiudoostan, where all the Asiatic conquerors of the country have always cntere .

Sin I-Iauuv Sstrru’s Cr.oax.—This gal- lant warrior has in his possession a remark- able cloak, so large we hear, that when worn it rotects the horses as well as him- self. t served all through the Indian campaign, and is fairly riddled with shot; so that it is at all times regarded with much curiosity. When Sir Harry met the 60th Regiment after their arrival from the East, the soldiers recognised the martial cloak that was on is shoulders, and they bore testimony to the great service it had render- ed iu the vicissitudes of war.—PyraotitIi Mail,

Zsw Zs'.at.attn.—Itelters from New Zsaland, state that a very important discovery of a new available harbour had been made b Capt. Diary, of her ajesty's surveying vessel andora. vast advantages which must accrue from this discovery are apparent, from the fact that it is the only good part on the west side of the northern island. Auckland, as is well known, is situat on a neck of land on the eastern harbour, and the distance to the western harbour (now disoovs to be available for large vessels) is only four or five miles. The voyage round the northern peuinsuls will thus be avoided, and we are in- formed that,1in a average, no less than ten days’ voyage will be saved in the communication with New Plymouth, Wanganui, Wellington, and Nelson; also with the Australian colonies, and, in fact, with all ports to the Westward.

Tau Msasousal Poss-ornce.—Sixteeti years ago the Poet-ollice at Melbourne was managed by a single person, who used to transact its business in a back shop. In June‘ 1851, 14 persons were employed in the Posoofios: and in June 1853, 03 persons. In I861. 930,000 letters and 907.000 rs through the Melbourne Post- 9 the numbers were 890,000 letters and 639,000 newspapers. ruin the fat of Janu- ary to the lat of June in I863. that is, in six months in the present year, $7,000 letters and 638,000 newspapers passed through the ones. For the first six months in tool the postal revenue oftlie Mel _ odes was about £3%0, while for the first six months in the present year it has

In his message to Congress the President will recommend a general system of reciprocal trade with the ritish Provinces, of all articles the growth and product of each country, and the admission of fish. duty free, upon the U. S. fishermen being permitted to fish iinrrstrictedly on the coast of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. The proposition of the English government to permit Colonial vessels to obtain American registers, will not be opposed. but the suggestion to throw open the coasting trade of California will be rejected as unconstitutional.

Signs ofap rnachnig winter Iisve of late been quite marke and extensive in the middle and eoutherii States. In some of the former snow has fallen to the depth of several inches, and in all the Atlantic States from South Carolina to Alabama, there have been smart frosts, euflicient to kill the cotton.

NEVVS FROM THE PLAINS.

Messrs Gratz Brown, George Alexander and Gcor Collier, arrived in this city on their re- turu mm the plains. These young gentlemen went out with Major Fitxpatrick, the U. S. Commissioner. who was sent out to distribute the annuities to the Indians, stipulated for under the Fort Laramia Treaty. ' hey accom- panied the expedition for the benefit of their

ealh, and returned greatly improved. Major Fitzpatrick is detained on the upper Missouri, but will be in the city in a few do s.

Major F was authorised to make treaties with the Cuuiariches and Kiowns, which he succeed- ed in. The leadin features of the agreement are these: ' he . . ovcrnmcnt stipulates to give to the two tribes, for ti. limited period of time, an annuity, in go a suitable to their ne- cessities, o 3 10 000 er nnnuin, with sundr other stipulations of minor import. In consi- deration of this the tribes grant to the United States the right of way over their lands for common, rail. or any other kind of ronds—the free and unmolested of emigrants, &t',.-—Ill0 liberty to the United States to establisli military

sts, missions, places ofdeposit, &c. &c. The

The treatypwith each tribe is the same, and so well were the satisfied with its terms, the chiefs immediately dispatched couriers to the various nds to communicate the substance of the treaties and requiring them to conform to

them;

The Major also obtained from the tribes of Souix, Cheyeuucs. Arapnboes and Rickarccs, the amendmentto the treaty made by Col. D. 1).
