Burgla.rz'cs.-—Severnl burglarious oper- ations, on a small scale, were performed here on Tuesday night last, by a transient ‘person who calls himself John Cummings. The house of Mr. B. Mallory was broken into, and robbed of a table cloth. The hotise of Mr. J. Barnum was also robbed ofa wooden clock. The house, and the building connected with the house of Mr. S. Fanton, were entered, and a number of articles of clothing carried off. These, or part of them belonged to Mr. Brooks residing near by. The noise made by the operation aroused Mr. B., and the burglar or burglars made off. It was afterwards found that an attempt had been made to break into the house_occupied by Mr. D. There were two tracks in the vicinity, showingtliat tnore than one person was in quest of plunder. Two, suspicious looking chaps had been noticed about our streets, and officer Stevenson the next day overhauled one of them, having the wood- en clock in his possession. The fellow attempted to escape, but was overtaken after a smart chase, and was brought be- fore Justice Noble. After owning up to the three burglaries he was of couase sent to Fairfield. The other bird is supposed to have taken flight in the easterly direc- tton. Iiriclgeport Sta/zclczrcl. Goon AND BAD LUCK.-—I may here, as well as any where impart the secret of what is called good and bad luck. There are men who, supposing Providence to have an implacable spite against them, bemoan in the poverty of a wretched old age, the misfortune of their lives. Lock for ever ran against them, and for others. One with a good profession, lost his luck in the river, where he idled away his time a-fishing, when he should have been in the office. Another, with a good trade, burnt up his luck by his hot temper, which pro- voked all his etnplopers to leave him.-—- Another, with a lucrative business, lost his luck. by amazing diligence at every thing but his business. Another, who steadily followed his trade,as steadily fol- lowed his bottle. Another, who washou- est and constant to his work, erred by perpetual mis-judgments—he lacked dis- cretion. Hundreds by endorsing, by san- guine speculations, by trusting fraudulent men, and by dishonest gains. A man never has good luck who has a bad wife. I never knew an early rising, hard-\vork- ing, prudent man, careful of his earnings, and strictly honest, who complained of bad lttck. A good character, good habits, and iron industry, are impregnable to the assaults of all the ill luck that fools ever dreamt of. But when I see a tatter- demalion creeping out of a tavern late in the forenoon, with his hands stuck into -his pockets, the rim of his hat turned tip, and the crown knocked in, I know he has had bad luck—-for the worst of all luck is to be a sluggard, a knave or a tippler. R61‘. I1’. ll". Beecher. fl I/f’edt1z'7zg and a Deat/i,.——A wedding ceremony was performed last evening in the Catholic church on Northampton st. As the parties were leaving the church, number of friends, came up and attacked them. A general melee ensued, and the cry of “police’.’ was raised. The more timid of the combatants immediately ran away, not having any desire to come in contact with the city officers.‘ ln endeav- oring to escape, a man named Michael Brady, unfortunately fell into a small creek, which runs from near Northampton st. to South Boston Flats, and although assistance was near at hand, yet sad to say when taken out, he was dead.

Brz'41ge.- —This Bridge, says the Iris, will have a span of 800 feet, be 230 feet high from the water, and be 28 feet wide, affording two car- riage tracks, two side walks, and a track for therailroad cars. At each end will be two solid stone towers for supporting the cables, 68 feet in height and 14- feet square at the base. The bridge will be suspended on 16 cables, each of 600 No. 1 wires firmly secured in deep pits drilled into the solid rock. When completed it is to be capable of sustaining a weight of 200 tons in the centre. The calculated power of tension ofthe wires is 6500 tons. The cost of the whole work is not to ex- ceed $190,000. Mr. Buchanan thinks it- wiil come within $145,000. The Iris also states that the contract with the Railroad Company will pay the proprietors of the Bridge 6 per cent. upon their investment, so the stock can hardly fail to be profitable.

Kelly is appa- rently insane, and seemed laboring under the delusion that every person who looked at him was watching him with the intent to rob him. ‘His wild and singular con- duct collected quite a crowd. Laboring under his fears and the eflect of several glasses of brandy he strolled up State st. and attempted to get possession of a horse and wagon in which a gentleman and lady were seated, for the purpose of escaping his supposed pttrstiers. A crowd collect- ing, he drew a bowie knife and pistol, and threatened death to any one who should molest him. In this way he passed thro' two or three streets, when a young man named Mull, attempted to arrest him.- Kelly lired and the ball struck Mull on the forehead, flattening against the skull. Mull laid hold of him, when Kelly stabbed him in the left side, making a dangerous wound. After a severe struggle, the monomaniac was arrested and placed in safe custody. He had in his possession a draft on New York for $7,500, Treasury Notes to the amount of $11000, and money to the amount of some $40, and is repre- sented to be wealthy and the owner of several lead mines. It is feared that l\'lull’s wounds will prove mortal. Sic Ti'a72s2'I.—-“Political aspirants, and partisans, and office seekers,” said Mr. Webster in his recent speech in the Sen- ate, “are not sun flowers! they don’t turn to their god, when 110 sets, The Sll tne face that they turned when he rose.’" So it proved with the partisans of Mr. Polk inconvention. The god of “demo. cratic” idolatry in 1844 they were anxious to be spared from any farther support of him_. Accordingly, his letter declining a nomination was received with cheers.— The riddance was sojoyous they could not contain their exultation. L Jlfassacre of an Englis/t Crew.—A por- tion of the crew of the English ship Van- guard, have been massacred by the natives of the New Caledonia Islands near Sidney, New South VVales. Itis feared the crews of two other vessels have met with a sim- ilar fate, and that the vessels have been captured, as nothing has been heard of them for the last three months. A Brit- ish naval force is to be despatched from New Zealand to seek redress. [17 It is announced that Col. Freemont is about to resume his Exploration of Cal- ifornia on his own account. He is of opin. ion that there is much yet undiscovered which is calculated to have an important bearing upon the present commercial im- provements in regard to that and neigh- boring countries. Benevolent Con,tr2'bul2'ons.-——-The total amount contributed to the various benev- olent societies, whose head-quarters are at New York, during the past year, is $1,276,951. VVhat a small item is this, spent in doing good, compared to the vast sums expended in the Mexican war for doing evil! Christians, if no others, should think of this thing, and endeavor to apply a remedy. JV'ewspa]iers.—Tliere are 218 newspa- pers published in Pennsylvania, exclusive ofmiscellaneous publications.

[(7 It is said that the Governor of Cu- ba has refused Santa Anita permission to reside in the Island,from an apprehension lof giving offence to the United States, "his sojourn there in 1815 being one of ‘continued intrigue and preparation. .7l[ar2'ne JlIz'lI.—-Mr. Ferris Freligh an ingenious mechanic of this [city, says the St. Louis Republican, is about getting out a patent for an invention by which a flour mill may be placed with safety and econ- omy on boarda steamer and propelled with the engine of the vessel. Heretofore the great difficulty in attempts to intro- duce mills upon steamers, has been, to give stability to the machinery of the mill, during the rolling of the boat. It is ‘supposed that this difficulty is entirely obviated by the invention in question. It is arranged on the principle of the marinei’s compass,’ the stones con- stantly maintaining their level posi- tion, no matter what may be the move- ment_of the boat. Assuming this power to be gained the inventor thinks that it may be successfully used, while the boat is going from port to port, in grinding the wheat which may be taken on board the vessel—-so that ‘by the time she arrives at her destination, the whole may be turned into flour. This is the general idea, and the inventor, who is himself a miller, thinks that its introduction upon steam- ers is entirely practicable and will ‘be profitiable.

'7 To no nominationcould these‘t‘emurks apply more fully, than to the onemade by the con- vention recently assembled at Baltimore. As if the name of Lewis Cass were not, in itself, sufficient to indicate. the political views enter- tained by that body, the whole proceedings of the convention, collectively and individually, seem to have been directed especially to the object of defining the position of the locofoco party of the United States. \Ve do notipnr- ticularly allude to the formal ~1'esolutions re- .ported and passed ; those of course were mostly sheer. humbug, as one or two instances will amply suffice to show. Those resolution de- clare, among other things, that: the democratic party is opposed to the assumption of State debts by the Federal Government. Now every man of ordinary information knows that such a measure was never, for a single moinont, con- templated by any party; abolilionists, Land-re- formers, Native Americans, Millerites, Mor- mons, and Locofocos, itlike, repel so absurd an idea—(with one exception—-“ the Democracy” votes to assume the debts of Texas, but of no other Slate)—wlty then does the Baltimore convention talk about opposing the ussumpt.ion of the State debts ? obviotisly for the purposes of sheer humbug, as we said before. Again, a resolution declares hostility to a National Bank. when out of the three million voters of the United States, of all parties, there are not ten who are not hostile to the establish- ment of a National Bank at the present titne; there was it time when it was necessary, and accoiuplished tnuch good; ntw, \ve can do as well without: it, and nobody desires its re-estnb- lisltment. \Vltat is the meaning then of the Baltitnore resolution? Simply what Carlyle would call " a huuibugeous nothing.” But we are wandering from our main object in pursuit; of Locofoco hunibugs, an absurd chase, for no sooner is one overtaken and killed. than it dozen others rise in its stead. \Ve said that the proceedings of the Baltimore Conven- tion defined the position ofthe party represent- ed by that Convention, clearly and unequivo- cally; and we now say that so vitally important are the questions presented by that position to the welfare, nay to the very existence of this Republic, that in our apprehensions all the old party issues, sink comparatively into utter in- significance. The democratic party is now rallied to the support oftwo great principles; they are these : Fii'st,—extensio‘u of dominion, chiefly on the south and south-west, either by conquest or annexation as the case may require, is to be the settled policy of this nation, if Locofocoism retains tltc nsccndency. Second,—in the event just named the new territory, whetlier it be Mexico, Yucatan, Cuba, or Jamaica, or all together, is to be slave territory, and its voters within its borders en- titled to twice or thrice times as many repre- sentatives in Congress as the same ntiuiber of voters in Connecticut or any other Northern State. Both these principles are more than intima- ted in the resolutions above referred to, but we ’, moral, and social evils. at least ithin the boun- ‘ dat'ies“which“no\v encompass it.‘an‘d we look ,. £—% or widgly"e;:gt9ntled;dotnitpou-;- yvggftare for con-j fining 'sl,iivei= ‘, t.l)at_,-L:mo§l:Iitel‘tZll)lr " of political, forward with longing hope for the time when it lshiill disappear fl'0'ln"-the face’-1‘of‘ the” earth - forever. VVe are aware ‘that Locofiocoi'sm at the North will attempt to dodge these issues; it did so in 1844, and it will do so again, but this titne, we believe, in vain. ‘Thei péople have’ discovered tiiat they were cheated and _b_'eguiled,_.and will _ not.now» be dec'eived..‘~,_T.he sick of this cryiifor conquest and annexation-is for freedom and freesoil, and if the \Vhigs are but true to themselves, the result of the coming campaign will be thesalvation of ourcountry in the triumph of \VllIG PRINCIPLES. LATER FROM EUROPE. The Steamship N iagara from Liverpool, ar- rived at Boston on Friday-last, making the third‘ arrival within 9. week. The markets remain withoutmuch alteration." Nothing has occured of interest except a ratlter formidable conspira- cy in Paris. The mob rushed in and broke up the assembly of Deputies, plotting the overthrow of the Republic, but their efforts were signally defeated. The greater portion of the wretched promoters of this insane movement; are now either in the hands ofthe authorities orreduced to a condition which will not admit; of their do- ing further harm. In Ireland the trial of Smith O'Brien is the all absorbing topic. No further revolutionary movement has shown itself in that quarter. The Society of Jesuits has been dissolved in the Austrian dominions. “ The Papal runcio at the Austria u Court has demanded his passport.’ and it is believed Austria will renounce all alle- giance to the Papal See. A proclamation has been issued at VVarsaw, tl1i'eate.ning the reduction ofthe city to ashes, at; the first attempt. of the people at resistance. At Liverpool the weather has continued re- markably fine, and Spring seeding nearly com- pleted.

VALUABLE INVENTIONS. \Ve copied a paragraph last week from the Springfield Republican detailing an account of an invention of a mineral compound called Ar- gillo, resembling the richest variegated agate. It is stated that the inventor has been offered $100,000 for the invention. But we believe our own village can boast an invention of far iuore real, practical value, to the public.

Enrrous :—-As the various christian enterprises which are the glory of the present age, are attracting general attention, I have thought a short account of the‘ late annual meeting of the American Baptist Jlfissionary Union, might be interesting to your readers. It was held on the 18111 and 19th inst;., in Troy, N. Y. The Board of Managers having had a public meeting in the same place on the two previous days. The Missionary Union confines itself to the Foreign field, with the single ex- ception ofthe North American Indians, among whom it has several flourishing stations. It was originally formed in 1814, under the name ofthe “ General Missionary Convention of the Baptist Denomination ofthe U. S., for Foreign Missions,” and then it embraced members from all parts of the Union. The slavery question, however, led to a change in the Constitutionfl and the withdrawal of Southern members. In 1846, the Society assumed its present name and organization, and is now sustained by the free States, the Southern Churches having formed a separate Society. It is composed out of life members, who;beco‘.ne such by the pay- ment of $100. The principle of delegation or representation is not recognized as being op- posed to the Baptist principle of Church inde- pendence. No Society or Church can send it delegate, but they may constitute any person a life member by paying the requisite sum. There are,.novv——since 1846—about 1200 life members from all the free States. The late meeting in Troyiwas attended by and so indistructable as to be proof against the acidulous or salinous properties ofthe saliva.- 1 I l )'0ll1'S "£03 Whose Volce.
