WOKLD'S FAIR FSIZE MEDAL

This Patent Furnace, as recently improved, far sur- passes all other modes of warming and ventilating public and private buildings, in the known world, it being in extensive use throughout the United States, and the Canadas, British Provinces, and other foreign countries. We have more than 5,000 references, many of them from gentlemen of high scientific attainments, which give ample proof of the superiority of this Furxace over any other mode of warming and ventilating buildings.

Any intelligent mind cannot fail to see the wonderful econ- omy in the conaumption of fuel by this Invention, over the common Portable Furnaces. Immedirttely after the fire is kindled in the morning, the damper in the smoke pipe is closed for the day ; when the only escape for the heated smoke and gases is through the continuous tapering trunk, or radiator, terminating in the smoke pipe, — which is re- duced to a small vent of two inches in diameter.

The heated smoke and gases are thus compressed into the whole circuit of the trunk, and become wholly exhausted by radiation. The conseqwence is, that the formerly wasted fuel, which was lost by passing off in smoke and gases in a crude or unconsumed state, is here made available for gen- eratini; heat.

\Varrantod a Saving in Fuel of Fifty Per Cent, over any other Portable Furnace in the known world.

I THE

TEIO STOVE

embodies the same val- \ u.able principles com- bined in the Portable Furnace. We think no prudent per- son will use stoves, as they have formerly been constructed, after becoming acquainted with this invention.

We obligate ourselves to prove, to the .satisfaction of all, a saving of Fifty Per Cent, in Fuel, not only by seeing the stove in operation, but by a large number of the best testi- monials that can be written.

As usual we offer a full assortment of

These improved Machines arc rapidly coming into general favor, and acknowledged to be the ONLV machines adapted to family use. The beauty and durability of their stitching are un- rivalled,working equally well on fine cambric, quilting and heavy broadcloth.

The rapid and noiseless operation of these machines is an ad- vantage possessed by no other, while their simplicity of con- struction renders tliem easier of use, besides being less liable to get out of repair, — an objection reasonably urged against all other machines. To Families, Shirtmakers, Tailors, Milliners, &c., one of these machines is invaluable.

THE PHYSIOLOGY OF MARRIAGE.

BY A MARRIED MAN AND DISTINGUISHED PHYSICIAN,

FPIICE, 75 CEISTTS-

It is one of the most remarkable books which has been published in any country. In language sim- ple, decorous and respectful, and in terms of fatherly kindness, it reveals to the young of both sexes, a fund of information, chiefly inaccessible in any reliable form, and for want of which, many have been prompted to resort to sources either of questionable authority or immoral tendency. The work is written by one of our oldest and most experienced medical men, who has devoted a long life to the study of Physiology. The work was examined in manuscript by competent judges, and pronounced to be as unexceptionable as any work which has appeared in the English language. It breathes, moreover, a truly Christian spiiit. The following, briefly, are its contents :

Chap. 7

Chap. 1. The True Relation of the Sexes. Chap. 2. Premature Marriage and its Conse^

quences. Chap. 3. Errors ofEducation. Chap. 4. Errors of Courtship. Chap. 5. Individual Transgression and its Pen.

alties. Chap. 6. Social Errors and their Punishment.

Physicial Laws of Marriage.

Chap. 8. A Fundamental Error.

Chap. 9. The Laws of Pregnancy.

Chap. 10. Crime without a name.

Chap. 11. The Laws of Lactation.

Chap. 12. A crime that ought not to be named.

Chap. 13. Directions to Parents and Guardians.

Chap. 14. General Directions.

This Book is destined to produce a Physiological Revolution in this country. It will have an im- mense sale, because it concerns us all, both male and female.

The Editor of the " Evening Traveller," Boston, uses the following strong language in noticing it : — " The Physiology of Marriage. — By an old Physician, 16mo, 259 pages. John P. Jewett & Co. A book that should be read by every man and woman in th? land — married or unmarried. It treats of topics of vital interest, but of which not one in a thousand knows anything ; who, in consequence of thoughtless ignorance, more than wilful sinfulness, violate the laws of health, and even life ; bring upon themselves suffering and woe, and upon their offspring enfebled constitutions, disease and early death. These topics are of a delicate and difficult chaiacter, and for this reason good men who were capable of treating them have avoided them. But every reader of ' The Physiology of Marriage,' unless utterly perverted in his tastes and imagination, will admit, on reading these pages, that the ' old physician' has dealt with these important topics as an aged father would be likely to do when addressing a beloved child. His instructions and counsels are so plain that none need mistake them, while there is nothing in them to minister to a perverted and prurient taste."

TITLES AND ABSTRACTS OP THE LAWS

MASSACHUSETTS LEGISLATURE.

The session of the General Court for the year 1855 was begun at the State House, in Boston, on Wednesday, the third day of January — being the first Wednesday — at eleven o'clock in the forenoon, and was prorogued on Monday, the twenty-first day of May. At this session, 489 Acts and 89 Resolves were passed — being 35 Acts and 3 Resolves more than were passed at the next preceding session.

The titles of the Acts and Resolves below are given in full, accompanied by an ab- stract of their provisions. The letter [o] is placed before such as are designated as Gen- eral Acts and Resolves by the Secretary of the Commonwealth. The numbers placed before the titles show the order of their approval by the Governor, and indicate, in each case, the chapter which the Act or Resolve makes in the official code for the year 1855. The date enclosed in brackets, after the title, is the time of the approval by the Governor.

The letter [p], placed at the end of the abstract of an Act, shows that it is to take effect from and after its passage, which is considered as cotemporaneous with its approval by the Governor, indicated by the date in brackets, as explained above. All other Acts and Resolves, in accordance with the general provisions of the Revised Statutes, take effect on the thirtieth day after their passage, unless some other time is expressly men- tioned— in which case it is here given.

RAILEOADS.

Previous to January 1, 1855, there had been Acts of Incorporation granted to sixty- four Railroads in Massachusetts, with an aggregate capital of sixty-one millions five hundred and five thousand and one hundred dollars. Fifty-four of these roads were in operation, and their construction had cost over sixty-five millions. They had an aggregate length of track of fourteen hundred and fifty-three miles ; of double track, two hundred and eighty-two miles ; and of branches, over one hundred and thirty miles. The greatest speed adopted by passenger trains on any of these roads was twenty-eight miles per hour, but the usual speed was about twenty-three miles. The total expense of working these roads for the year 1854 was near seven millions of dollars; their net earnings for the same time about three and one-half millions ; and amount of dividends declared, two and one quarter millions.

Eighty-three persons were injured by accidents ; seventy-two, fatally.

At the session of the General Court in 1855, eight other railroads were incorporated as follows : Lexington and Chelmsford R. R. Co., West Stockbridge Branch R. R. Co., Waltham & Watertown R, R. Co., Carabridgeport R. R. Co., Milford and Woonsocket R. R. Co., Medford and Charlestown R. R. Co., Union Railway Co., Independent Line between Boston and Lowell.

HISTORICAL AND COMMEMORATIVE ASSOCIATIONS.

American Antiquarian Society, Worcester.

Incorporated, 1812. The American Anti- quarian Society, established for the purpose of collecting and preserving the materials of his- tory, more especially of American History, was incorporated by the Legislature of Massachu- setts, in 1812.

Isaiah Thomas, the distinguished Printer and Publisher, and author of " The History of Printing in America," was the first President, and has been the greatest benefactor of this institution. A brick edifice for the Library and Cabinet, erected at his expense, was com- pleted in 1820. His private collection of books, which was a very considerable one, be- came the basis of the Library. Extensive ad- ditions were made to the building after his death, from resources provided by his will ; and the principal portion of the funds of the Society, now amounting to more than $28,000, resulted from his bequests.

In April, 1853, the collections were removed to a new building, erected on land presented by Hon. Stephen Salisbury, who also contri- buted $5,000 to the cost of the edifice, the whole expense of which was about $18,000.

The Library of the Society now exceeds 23,000 volumes. Its cabinet contains many ar- ticles of curiosity and interest; and its manu- scripts, coins, &c., are of considerable value.

Two volumes of Transactions, and a catalogue of the Library, have been published ; and a third volume of Transactions is in preparation for the press, Part I having been printed.

There are two meetings of the Society in the year; one at Worcester, on the 21st day of October, in commemoration of the discov- ery of America by Columbus, the other in Boston, on the last Wednesday of April. There are also monthly meetings of the Coun- cil at Worcester.

This institution originated in a conviction that the interests of Congregationalism, antl of Christianity in general, would be advanced by collecting into one accessible ])lac£ whatever printed or manuscript memorials of the New England Fathers are yet extant, and also such documents of the present age as will be of historical value in the ages to come. It was organized in Boston on the 12 th of February, 1851. The enterprise, however, was conducted on a comparatiaely small scale, till, by a re- organization in May, 1853, its privileges were extended to the whole body of Evangelical Congregationalists throughout the continent, and their co-operation invited.

At the last annual meeting of this Society held in New York city, May 9th, 1855, a re- port of its doings was presented, from which we gather a few items of information.

The number of ministers in the service of the Society is 1,032, of whom 278 have la- bored in New England, 207 in the Middle, 10 in the Southern, and 537 in the Western States and the Pacific Coast. The aggregate of ministerial labor has been equal to 815 years. Two thousand one hundred and twen- ty-four societies and stations have been sup- plied with preaching, at stated intervals, by the Society ; sixty of which have been ad- dressed in foreign languages.

The number of Sabbath School scholars connected with the missionary churches and stations is not far from 64,800. The additions to the churches have been 5,634 ; 2,434 are recent converts. These societies have con- tributed to benevolent operations, $27,932.67.

Sixty-six churches have been organized ; and forty have become self-sustaining, and have passed from the list of beneficiaries to that of benefactors, sixty-one houses of wor- ship have been comr)leted, thirty-eight repaired or improved, and fifty-two are in the process of erection.

The receipts of the year have been $180,- 136.69, and the expenditures $177,717.34, leaving a balance in the treasury of $16,- 804.31.

Since the establisment of the Society in 1826, 16,521 years of labor have been per- formed by its missionaries; about $2,892,-

717.34 have been expended, averfiging about $171 for each year of missionary labor. Dur- ing the whole time, 132,339 persons have been added to the churches under the patronage of the Society.

The operations of this Society, as reported at the last annual meeting held in Boston in May, 1855, are briefly as follows : —

During the year the following 36 new pub- lications have been stereotyped in English, German, Spanish, Dutch, Danish, and Swe- dish, of which 11 are volumes; making the whole number of publications now on the So- ciety's list 1,948, of which 408 are volumes of larger or smaller size. Besides these, the Committee have approved to be issued at for- eign stations, 87 publications, including 20 vol- umes; making the whole number now ap- proved for publication abroad, 2,972, of which 302 are volumes.

Eighteen colporteurs, including two volume agents, have been employed during the year, who have sold about $8,000 worth of books. They have visited 22,086 families, of which 4,359 neglect public worship; 1,431 were des- titute of religious books except the Bible ; and 580 were destitute of the Bible.

This Society confines its labors mostly to the New England States, but is closely con- nected with the Society whose head quarters are at New York, and which occupies the whole Union as its field of labor. This latter Society employs 659 colporteurs, who have visited during the year 639,193 flimilies ; 36,- 259 of which were destitute of the Bible, and 51,392 of other religious books.

The expenditures for the year have been over $419,227.34. A large number of colle- giate and theological students engage in this work during their vacations ; and afterwards have acknowledged themselves under great obligation to this service, for much of the ani-

It is important that this law should be strictly carried into effect ; to the public, that the health and condition of the population may be known ; a?Hl to every individual, that evidence may be lurnished by the records of the three great events of life — birth, marriage, and death. Great personal inconve- nience and pecuniary loss have often arisen from want of this evidence.

The city is canvassed in May, and again in January, in order to collect the proper information concerning children born during the year.

During the year 18-55, five thousand eight hundred and sixteen births were registered. Intentions of marriage of three thousand und sixty -one couples were entered, and certificates issued, and two thousand eight hundred and fifty-five marriages were recorded.

Four thousand and eighty deaths, which occurred within the limits of the city, during the same period, were registered.

PUBLIC LIBRARY OF THE CITY OF BOSTON.

Although donations of books had been made to the city, and for several years Standing Commitees of the City Council had been appointed with reference to a Library, yet it was not until the year 1852 that a Free Public Library was really established for the use of the inhabitants of Boston.' On the 19th of February, 1852, his Honor Benjamin Seaver, Mayor of the city, in a message to the City Council, strongly urged the establishment of the long talked of Library, by the election of a Board of Trustees and a Librarian, who should commence at once to cairy out in earnest the contemplated design. The City Council promptly responded to this message on the 3d of May, and on the 13th of the same month, chose Mr. Edward Capen to be the Librarian ; and on the 2-lth, elected Hon. Edward Everett, George Ticknor, Esq., Hon. J. P. Bigelow, Nathaniel B. ShurtlefF, M. D., and Thomas G. Appieton, Esq., in conjunction with the Joint Standing Committee of the City Council on the Library, to be a Board of Trustees for the management of the Public Library. On the 6th of July, 1852, Messrs. Everett, Ticknor, Shurtleff, and Alderman lieed, by vote of the Board, and at the request of the City Council, prepared a report, setting forth " the objects to be attained by the establishment of a Public Library, and the best mode of effecting them." This report was received by the City Council and the citizens generally with much satisfaction, and on the 14th of the following October, an ordinance was passed, establishing a Board of Trustees and a Librarian, and defining their duties and powers. On the election of the Board of Trustees, conformably to the new ordinance, the same gentlemen were re-elected from the citizens at large, and Alderman Reed, and George W. Warren, Esq., from the City Council. The five gentlemen fist mentioned have been annually re-elected members of the Board, and now continue in execution of the trust.

At an early period after the formation of the Board of Trustees, Joshua Bates, Esq., a distinguished merchant of London, and a native of Massachusetts, evinced a great interest in the institution by presenting to the city the sum of fifty thousand dollars for a fund, the income of which should be expended in the purchase of suitable books. This and the thousand dollars previously given by Hon. John P. Bigelow, and the munificent gift of ten thousand dollars by Hon. Jonathan Phillips, and the bequest by the lamented Hon. Abbott Lawrence, of ten thousand dollars, form the four funds, which produce an annual income of,S?4,'i60 exclusively for the purchase of books of permanent value.

By tiie munificence of other individuals who have had the interest of the Library at heart, among whom should be mentioned Mrs. Sally L K. Shepard, J. Ingersoll Bowditch, Esq., and the lately de- ceased Samuel Appieton, Esq., and James Brown, Esq., a considerable amount of money has been re- ceived, which, together with a large portion of the annual appropriations of the City Council, has been expended for the more immediate purchase of books for supplying the current demand of those who now avail themselves of the privileges of the Libiary. A large number of books have also been received from liberal-minded citizens.

On the 20th of March, 1854, the books comprising the Public Library, which had been placed tem- porarily in the lower story of the building of the Normal School in Mason Street, were offered to the public for use in the reading-room attached to the Library ; and on the 2d of May following, the books were first circulated among the citizens for home use, a privilege which is continued to the present time.

At the close of the year 1854, more commodious apartments being required for the arrangement and circulation of books, an ordinance was passed by the City Council, establishing a Board of Commis- sioners for the erection of a suitable Library Building. This ordinance, slightly amended, is now in force. Under its provisions, Hon. Robert C. Winthrop, and Samuel G. Ward, Esq , from the citizens at large, and George Ticknor, Esq., and Dr. Nathaniel B. Shurtleff, from the Board of Trustees, were elected permanent Commissioners, and Alderman Charles Woodberry, and Messrs. Joseph A. Pond and Edward F. Porter, Esqrs., Commissioners on the part of the City Council.

A lot of land fronting on Boylston Street, and opposite the Common, having been purchased by the City Council, and placed at the disposal of the Commissioners, an advertisement was issued for de- signs of a Library Building which should possess all the requirements set forth in the proposals of the j Board. Responses were made by a large number of Architects, who submitted plans which exhibited I great ability and skill, and the design of Mr. Charles H. Kirby, which most nearly coincided with the | ideas of the Commissioners, was, with a very few modifications, adopted.

On the 17th of September, 1855, the corner-stone of the new Library Building was laid, with ap- ! propriate ceremonies, by his Honor J. V. C. Smith, Mayor of the city, in presence of the Members of ^ the City Government, the Commissioners and Trustees, the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of < Massachusetts, and several of the past worthies of the city and benefactors of the Library, and a vast ', concourse of the citizens generally. Addresses were made on this occasion, by Hon. R. C. Winthrop, { President of the Board of Commissioners, and his Honor the Mayor. The trowel used on the occasion was returned to the President of the Board, for preservation in the Library, and an instrument like- wise used, combining the square, level and plumb, was presented to the Most Worshipful Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, to be deposited in the archives of the Grand Lodge as a memorial of the event.

The corner-stone, now securely laid at the north-east corner of the foundation, is a massive ham- mered ashler of Connecticut sandstone, weighing, by computation, about five tons, and measuring in length 5 feet 11 inches, in breadth 3 feet G inches, and in height 3 feet 2 inches. The cavity in the bottom of the stone contains a metal box, in which the following articles were placed and hermetically sealed by Dr. N. B. Shurtleff, in behalf of the Coramissionors, viz. : —

1 — A Crystallotype likeness of the Commissioners in a group.

2 — Crystallotypes of the Trustees of the I;ibrary, of His Honor the Mayor, of the chairmen of the Committee of Arrangements, of the Board of Aldermen and of the Common Council.

3 — A complete set of the Silver and Copper Coins of 1855.

4 — Franklin and City Medals.

5 — Four Medals of the Humane Society of Massachusetts, presented by Hon. David Sears.

6 — City Documents relating to the Library, embracing its history from its first conception to the present time ; Municipal Register; By-Laws and Organization of the School Committee ; Boston Directory ; Boston Almanac ; Catalogue of the Library.

IN

PRESENCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL,

AT THE REaUEST OF THE COMMISSIONERS ON THE ERECTION OF THE BUILDING, BT

HIS HONOR JEROME V. C. SMITH, MAYOR.

Commissioners for the Building. — Robert C. Winthrop, President ; Samuel G. Ward, George Ticknor, Nathaniel B. Shurtlefi", Charles Woodberry, Joseph A. Pond, EHwaid F. Porter.

Trustees of the Library. — Edward Everett, President; George Ticknor, John P. Bigelow, Nathaniel B. ShurtlefF, Thomas G. Appleton, Joseph Stury.

Librarian. — Edward C^pen.

Architect. — Charles K. Kirby.

A second box, constructed of lead, contained a copy of each of the newrpapers of the day, and also the last weekly newspapers published in the city.

The building, as designed to be erected, will be 82 feet in front, 128 feet deep, and two stories in height, besides the basement. The lower or basement story is to be situated below the level of the sidewalk, and will be lighted on all sides from an open area. The rooms in this story are intended chiefly for storing and packing, and for the other conveniences of the Library, such as rooms for fur- naces and fuel, and also apartments for the usual Library work.

The first story of the building will contain the large hall of entrance, which will open directly into the room for the distribution of books to readers and borrowers. The room for distribution, which will occupy the central part of the story on the first floor, is intended to serve also as a conversation room. This room will be connected with a large Hall, in the rear of the building, haviui? a gallery and twenty alcoves calculated to contain about 40,000 of the books most frequently deni.uided for use. On the front of the building, and entered only from the room of delivery, will be two reading rooms, one on the east for ladies, and one on the west, to be amply supplied with the pi-riodicals of the day, for general use.

The second or principal story, which will be the prominent feature of the building, is intended for one hall, to be approached by visitors only by the staircase in the Entrance Hall. This Hall, which by calculation will contain more than 200,000 volumes, is planned with reference to a lucid arrange- ment of the books. Besides the alcoves on the floor, it will have two galleries, each containing an equal number of alcoves. The Hall is so contrived that it will have ten alcoves on each of its sides, and the same number in each of its galleries, making 69 alcoves in all. Each alcove will contain ten ranges of ^^helves, and each range ten shelves. The object of this decimal arrangement of shelves is to render the Library more manageable than it could otherwise be under any other srrar.gement, and also to simplify all the details connected therewith. This grand Hall will be lighted chiefly from the ceiling, although the windows in the front and rear wall will admit much li<jht.

Beneath the principal story, and immediately over the delivery room will be an entresol or half-story, designed for workrooms and storerooms.

At the corners on the rear of the building are to be towers for stairs and other conveniences.

The building is to constructed of the very best bricks that can be procured, and the ornamental portions are to be of sandstone. The whole building is to be strictly fire-proof, and particular attention is to be paid to the heating and ventilation. All the floors are to be constructed of bricks and iron, ard no wood will enter into their construction. The roof will be covered with copper, and the gutters will be of the same material and stone. Mr. Nathan Drake, the ^veil-known builder, has the contract for the walls and floors of the building.

MASSACHUSETTS LANDS IN MAINE. 289

MASSACHUSETTS LANDS IN MAINE.

All the lands in INIaine belonging to Massachusetts having been disposed of, there is now no income to this State from them excepting what is derived from i)y}ment3 upon sales or upon contracts for timber, made in former years.

The land agent, Willard A. Harrington, Esq., in his report in January, 1856, says:

" It is to be regretted that the Commonwealth could not have realized a larger amount in the way of collections the past year from parties who are indebted to her on account of sales of Eastern lands ; but owing to a combination of circumstances, it has been impossible to realize a large amount. The truth of the matter is, the disastrous state of business affairs, particularly as regards the lumbering interest of Maine, during the past season, has prevented parties generally from paying to this Commonwealth a larger amount due on lands. It is but justice to these individuals to say, that they have encountered difEculties by which they have been sur- roundedjwith a resolution and energy which alone could have prevented general bankruptcy and ruin. A large portion of the lumber sold from the Penobscot and St. Johns, during the past season, was cut and hauled two years ago ; the operations of last year having been compara- tively light, under the disadvantage of almost unparalleled deep snow, and very high price of la- bor, and supplies (not cheap) resulting in about fifty percent, additional cost of operations over and above previous years. In consequence of the drought in the summer and fall of 1854, this lumber laid back, and has come this season to a falling market; and the result is, instead of a profit, as was hoped, operators are obliged to submit to a loss of from three to four dollars on every thousand feet of lumber so cut, hauled and sold ; besides, there is probably one hundred and fifty million feet now on hand, lying (in logs) in and about the Penobscot Boom, besides a very considerable amount •of manufactured lumber upon the wharves, unsold.

Under these circumstances, it has been impossible to make large collections, without resort- ing to legal measures, which I did not consider myself authorized to do ; knowing that it had been the policy of the Commonwealth, heretofore, to be lenient to this class of debtors. I have endeavored, in all cases where there have been operations on lands, the notes for which were not paid at maturity, to collect the stumpage, — and in most cases I have been successful. There is a large amount of logs now lying in the Penobscot Boom, on which the Land Agent will be able to realize the stumpage next season.

The amount received on Land Notes during the vear 1855, was,

for Principal, ....'.-- $44,585 77

For Interest, 13,036 99

S57,622 76

The amount of indebtedness of individual purchasers on the 31st

of December, 1845, is, for Principal, - - - $265,645 44

For Interest, 29,530 52

$295,181 96

The amount overdue on Land Notes, including interest, on the 31st of December, 1855, was S134,185.73.

In most cases where the notes are overdue, a portion of the original amount has been paid, thereby reducing the amount due the Commonwealth ; and in case a forfeiture should take place, I am satisfied the lands would sell for enough to cover the balances due on said notes ; so that in any event, I do not see that the Commonwealth is in any danger of sufiering any loss."

ALIEN PASSENGERS.

The annual report of A. G. Goodwin, Superintendent of Alien Passengers, states that the number of vessels arrived at this port and boarded by him during the year 1855, was 910 ; number of passengers, 20,853. These passengers were classified as follows : Americans and those who have been in the State before, from whom no security or

commutation could be required, --------- 8,128

The amount of $2,540 has been refunded for 1,270 passengers, chiefly forwarded to

Western States. The report goes on to state that —

" Many destitute and infirm persons, most of whom have been here many years, have applied for and received assistance to return to their native land — and a few have been sent by order of the Police Court.

" Most of these were from our almshouses, and all probably would have contributed to swell the number of those institutions had they remained here. Thus both State and immigrant have been mutually benefited by transmission to their native land.

" The number thus sent is 286. The total amount of their passage, provisions, &c., is $1,555; of this sura, $380.50 in money, provisions and bedding, was contributed by various persons, leaving the net cost to the State, $4,174.50, or $14.59 for each person sent.

" Four hundred and forty-three paupers and destitute persons, part of them being extra commuted passengers, and others, residents of different States and the Canadas, having made application for relief, were forwarded to the State where they belonged — thereby relieving the State of many life paupers.

Total expense thus incurred, --._-.---. $1,621 00

" Others have also been sent to the States where they had legal residence, from the State Almshouses."

Tlie number of emigrants who arrived in 1855 was about one-third less than in the previous year ; and those who came had mostly been sent for by their friends who had furnished them with funds, and to whose residences the emigrants proceeded as soon as they arrived, without, with a few exceptions, receiving aid from the State. The general health of those who arrived has been better than in previous years. The superintendent states that from the best information he can obtain both in this country and abroad, the emigration hither will be still less the ensuing year than it h^s been during 1855.

EMIGRATION FROM EUROPE.

291

EMIGRATION FROM EUROPE.

From the*Bo8TON Daily Advertisee, which bears a high reputation for accuracy, we copy the following statistics of Emigration :

Emigration fkom EuuorE. — The Emigration Commissioners of Great Uritain, report the number of persons who have passed from or through that kingdom to this country in the last year, as 84,407, of whom 5,141 were foreigners, mostly Germans.

The enormous fulling off in this emigration from that of the i)rcccding year, will be shown by the following comparison which we have prepared. It will be observed that there is a large gain of Scotch emigrants, a falling off of English, and a still greater decrease of Irish.

It will be observed that the whole number is not half so large as it was in 1854. The completed tables will make some slight additions to these figures, but not any of material importance.

From authentic sources we compile the following tables :

1854 460,474 427,833

As we have said, the return for 1855 is not yet made. But we have the materials for more than 80 per cent, of it, in the New York and Boston returns.

The arrivals at New York in 1855 were 134,937. For several years past they have been :

1849 220,603 1853 284,945

1850 212,796 1854 319,223

1851 289,601 1855 134,987

1852 299,504

The arrivals at this port :

In 1S55 were 18,313

In 1854 " 31,006

From these complete returns of more than eighty per cent of the arrivals, we estimate the number of arrivals of aliens, at all ports last year as, probably, a little over 185,000 — not varying many hundred from that number. This is only forty-three per cent, of the arrivals of 1854.

The following table, exhibiting the number of emigrants who have sailed from British ports for thirty years, is made up from the reports of the British Colonial and Land Commissioners.

These are the figures and footings of the com- missioners. Occasional slight variations are their own alterations of their own returns. Of these the most important is that of 1847, the summer of famine and ocean sickness. They returned the emigration to the Provinces, first as 101,118, after- wards as 112,514, finally at 109,680.

It will be observed in the examination of all these tables that the emigration received a stimulus in the sad year of Irish famine in 1847, which raised the Irish emigration to an importance which it has never since lost until now. The German contingent is now the largest to the annual emigration. The numbers of Irish emigrants for successive years can be best learned from the New York returns. The Irish and German arrivals there appear in the fol- lowing table :

From Ireland. Germany.

Full confidence cannot be placed in the United States returns of nationality till 18-52— as the col- lectors sometimes returned Irish emigrants as if English. The three last years seem more accurate, though perhaps not strictly so. They are these : From Ireland. Germany.

The British return for 1854, as we have stated, was, Irish 1^1,095. For 1855, Irish 48,772. This is probably our most reliable authority.

These do not include the arrivals over land from the British Provinces.

POPULATION.

It 13 gratifying to find that Boston has made to large an increase since 1850, notwith- standing the removal of so many of the residents to the neighboring towns. Below is given the population of Boston at different periods.

In this last table, the enumeration of 1855 Includes Washington Village, formerly a part of Dorchester, but annexed to Boston this year. This section contains 1,319 inhabitants, which deducted from 162,748, makes the actual increase of Boston, for the last five years, 22,641, or 16.31 per cent. It will be perceived that the ratio of increase for the last five years is a little less than for the five or ten preceding years. This is not owing, however, to any diminution in the comparative progress and increase of the business of Boston, for facts are abundant to prove a steaiy and rapid increase in the business and wealth of the city, equal to if not greater than any former period. During the last five years many dwelling houses have been displaced in or near the business sections of the City, by immense ware- houses, which noble structures give evidence of the enterprise and prosperity of the metropolis of New England, while they crowd out the population into the suburban towns, the measure of whose growth is in a great degree the measure of the prosperity of Boston. It is a fact well known, that many of the business men who reside in the suburbs would return to the City and make it their home, if tenements of convenient size and moderate rent could be obtained.

It is impossible to determine exactly the number of persons engaged in business iu Boston, and residing out of the City ; but it is estimated that the number, including their families, is upwards of 40,000. This estimate is founded upon the number of season tickets sold at the railroad depots, and by inquiries made of the proprietors of the omnibus lines, bridges, &c., and also from an estimate from the names in the Boston Directory of persons living out of the City.

CENSUS OF BOSTON

293

The encroiichinent of business upon the central wards is made evident by these figures. In other sections, especially East and South Boston, quite a lar^^e gain has been made. Ward 11 exhibits a greater percentage of increase since 18.30, than any other ward in lioston proper. Miny dwellings have been erected here, a lirge number of which are of great cost an<l beauty. Tliis section of the City is doubtless destined, at no distant period, to become very populous. The opportunity presented for good and pleasant residences on the Neck, and at East and South Boston, should claim the attention of our citizens before erecting dwellings in other towns.

The population of Boston would, doubtless, be materially augmented, if portions of the City Lands were olfered for sale at reduced prices, with the condition that tenements should be erected, adapted for persons in moderate circumstances.

FOREIGN POPULATION.

In the last City Census Report, as well as in this, the children of foreigners, under 21 years of age, have been classed as foreigners. Although many of them were born in this country, yet, subject as they are to the control, instruction, and associations of their parents, they properly belong to, and are under the influence of the foreign element.

The increase of Bos^ton during the last five years, is 22,641 ; of this number, 22,041, are of foreign origin, and 600 are native inhabitants. The following table gives the loss and gain of the population by wards.

From this statement it seems that in wards 1 and 7, the native loss is considerable, and yet there is an increase in the number of inhabitants in these wards from the foreign part of the community.

In wards 2, (East Boston) 6, (Beacon Hill) 11, (the Neck) and 12, (South Boston) the native gain is fair, and as it is to these sections we are to look for maintaining the predomi- nance of the native and permanent population of the city, e\ery inducement and facility should be extended to those who will settle in these inviting localities.

While Boston welcomes the foreigner, bestowing encouragement and charity upon him, speedily investing him with the rights of citizenship, and a frequent participation in the management of municipal affairs, the city should not be unmindful of the trust transmitted to it ; but guard with patriotic care the glorious institutions bequeathed by a noble ancestry. History and common sense show this can most eftectually be secured by the native inhabi- tants, and hence all proper endeavors should be made to maintain in Boston a large predomi- nance of native-born citizens.

CHILDREN.

The number of children between the ages of 5 and 15, in 1855, is 28,764 — in 1850, they were 24,275 — being a gain of 4,489. The native loss is 343, while the foreign gain is 4,832. The number under 5 years of age is 20,212, being 3,128 more than in 1850.

These numbers do not include the children in Washington Village.

VOTERS.

The number of voters was found to be 22,191, of whom 18,627 were native, and 4,564 naturalized; showing an increase since 1850, of 2,390 of the former, and 3,015 of the latter class.

The increase of native voters has therefore been but 14.72 per cent, while the foreign voters show the remarkable gain of 194.64 per cent. This fact gives evidence of an awakened interest on the part of those born in foreign countries to avail themselves of the elective franchise.

Since this City Census was taken, another enumeration of the inhabitants has been made, in compliance with a law passed by the Legislature, May 21, 1855, requiring a Census of the State to be taken on the first of June next following, and every tenth year afterwards. This Decennial Census, with the National Census, will secure an enumeration of the population of Massachusetts every five years, and therefore a special Census of Boston will not be necessary in future.

The population of the City, by the Census, on the first of May this year, was 161,429 ; but by that of June 1st, it was 160,508. If we deduct from the latter, the population of Wash- ington Village, (1,319) which was annexed to Boston after the Census of May l,and previous to that of June 1, there appears a falling off of 2,240, during the month of May.

A similar result was shown by the two enumerations taken — one, May 1, and the other June 1, 1850. This periodical decrease may be accounted for in part from the fact that dur-' ing the months of May and June, a great number of persons leave the city for a residence in the country.

As a large proportion of this number are properly citizens of Boston, and return again at the close of the warm season, the number given on the first of May should be regarded as approaching nearest to the actual population of Boston.

BIRTHS, MARRIAGES AND DEATHS

IN MASSACHUSETTS IN 1854.

EXTRACTS FROM THE TUIRTEENTH REGISTRATION REPORT.

The Report now presented is the thirteenth of a series of annual documents re- lating to the Registry and Return of the Births, Mai-riages, and Deaths, that have occuri'ed within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; and, like those which have preceded it, has been prepared under the sanction of the Secretary of State, in accor- dance with existing laws.

The charge of preparing the Report was committed to Dr. Nathaniel B. Shurtlefe, who had the active superintendence of the two preceding documents for the years 1852 and 1853, and the practical observations at the conclusion of the Report are from his pen.

It is a matter of considerable satisfaction to those engaged in the laborious detail of preparing the Abstract and accompanying tables, that their labor is far from being considered useless, and is regarded constantly by scientific men as affording the most reliable source for making the necessary calculations for determining the expectation of life, not only in Massachusetts, but also throughout the United States. No more reliable means than those thus furnished can be found elsewhere for determining the natural laws of disease and death within the Commonwealth, and for furnishing the needful information relating to the public health and the sanitory condition of the different towns and districts throughout its bounds.

While of the many States that commenced with much ardor the condensation of the yearly returns on this important and interesting branch of vital and mortuary sta- tistics, and the publication of annual reports, few only continue on in the work, Mas- sachusetts alone exhibits an unbroken series, extending sufficiently far back, with well-dif-ested tables, to be of service to those who make inquiries in this department a subject of their studies and abstractions.

A new table has been introduced in the Report of this year, for exhibiting the number of illegitimate births that have occuri-ed within the Commonwealth during the year 1854. The births of this class are arranged by sexes, for each of the twelve months, and also by counties. If this table should be continued for a series of years, much curious and useful information can be elicited therefrom. On this point, as well as on others generally, it would be well that recording officers should be particular to designatCj in as many instances as possible, whether the children were born in public institutions, or otherwise.

It is evident that more than usual care has been taken, during the last twelve months, in the collection and registration of the various particulars which have been returned by the town clerks to the office of the Secretary of State. From every town within the Commonwealth, except Dennis and "West Stockbridge, complete re- turns have been received, and these with commendable punctuality.

As a general thing, more care should be taken by those Avho collect facts for regis- tration, so that there cannot be a complaint every year, that diseases are not suffi- ciently discriminated. The clerks who prepare the abstracts cannot go beyond the returns placed in their hands, and, consequently, if care is not taken to give them correct returns, correct tables and abstracts cannot be expected as the result of their labors.

BIRTHS.

During the year ending on the thirty-first day of December, 1854, the whole num- ber of births that have been registered as having occurred within the Commonwealth in the same space of time, has amounted to 31,1)97, exhibiting an increase of 1,077 over the number of births recorded during the preceding year. Classified, it ap-

pears that, of these, 16,352, or 51.10 per cent., were males; 15,469, oi;,48.. '34 per cent., were females ; and 17G, or .50 per cent, were of those whose sex couhl not be ascertained. In the previous year (1853), the whole number of births had increased 1,118 over the number in the year 1852; and in the year 1852 the increase in this particular was 1,121 over the number born in the year 1851.

Of those born in the year 1854, 16,470, or 51 47 per cent., were the children of American parents; 13,866, or 43.33 percent., were born of parents, one or both of whom were of foreign birth ; and the I'emainder, numbering 1,661, or 5,20 per cent, of the whole number of births registered, were returned without designating the nativity of the parents.

Of these 13,866 children who were born of one or both foreign parents, 12,476 had both parents of foreign birth, 687 had American fathers and foreign mothers, and 703 had American mothers and foreign fathers.

The ratio of increase in the births of the children of parents of foreign birth has increased in a very small degree since the last year.

The following table exhibits a comparative view of the births in Massachusetts during the last two years : —

1853.

Whole number, 30,920

Males, 15,793

Females, 14,965

Of unknown sex, 157

Of American parents, 16,040

Of foreign parents 11,753

Of Am. father and foreign mother, 683

Of Am. mother and foreign father, 811

Of unknown parentage, 1,633 1,661 + 28

In some of the Reports which have preceded this, attention has been drawn to the comparative number of children of the dilferent sexes born within the Commonwealth, and it has generally been found by the registration tables that the number of male i children born here considerably exceeds that of females. This differs from what ap- j pears to be the general opinion of statisticians, who almost invariably state, especially j those of foreign countries, that at the time of birth the female children are most I numerous.

Thus it is perceived, that of all the 174,827 children born in the State of Mas- sachusetts during the six years, 1849 — 1854, the number of males exceeds that of I females by 5,677. During these six years the aggregate number of males was 89,811, or 51.37 per cent, of all the births ; the aggregate number of females was 84,134, or 48.12 per cent. ; and of the unknown, 882, or .51 per cent. This shows, as did the result of last year's registration, that the males and females keep very nearly the same relation to each other as to comparative number. In 1849 the excess of births of males over females was 1,066 ; in 1850, 745 ; in 1851, 1,336 ; in 1852, 814 ; in 1853, 833 ; and during the year 1854, for which this Report is prepared, the excess amounts to 883.

In respect to the foregoing fact, the tables which are deduced from the results of registration elsewhere, particularly in America, show satisfactory evidence of the same. Therefore it must be conceded, and may be set down as a general rule, that more males than females are born in Massachusetts, and undoubtedly when regis- tration has been carried in other States and countries to the same extent that it has here, the same conclusions will be arrived at universallj, and the law will be gen- erally recognized.

MARRIAGES.

The number of marriages solemnized during the year 1854, according to the returns made to the office of the Secretary of State, amounted, for the whole Com- monwealth, to 13,683, an increase of 855 over that of the previous year, and 2,105 over that of the year 1852. As reported, 7,492 of the persons married were of American birth ; 4,797 were of foreign birth ; 542 were of American grooms to brides of foreign birth ; 512 were of American brides to foreign husbands ; and of 340 the nativity was not ascertained.

298 MASSACHUSETTS REGISTER.

No marriage was reported to have been solemnized in the town of Hancock, in the county of Berkshire, containing 780 inhabitants in 1850, and producing 18 births and 7 deaths in 1854. The same fact appears with reference to the town of New Ashford, in the same county, which exhibited the same result of registration in 1853. Hull and "Winthrop, towns having a very small population, are also reported without marriages.

In many of the other towns in the Commonwealth there is good reason for thinking that the portion of registration which relates to marriages has not received the proper attention of those whose duty it is to make due return and timely reports to the registering officers. When it is recollected that the transmission of property depends, oftentimes, upon the correct record of marriages, it would seem that more pains would be taken by persons officiating in the solemnities, to see that a proper registra- tion is made in the town where the ceremony was performed, with all the particu- lars required by the existing laws of the Commonwealth.

The tables prepared from the facts collected with reference to the marriages which took place in the year 1854, show, as have the tables of preceding Keports, that in Massachusetts the most usual time for contracting a first marriage of both parties, is between the ages of 20 and 25, both for males and females. The period of life in which the next greatest number of first marriages occur, is for males of 25 to 30, and females of 20 to 25. The third period is for males of 20 ,to 25, and fe- males under 20. In the class included in the period first named, there were 3,078 first marriages, and 3,158 of all descriptions of marriages ; in the second period, 2,011 first marriages, and 2,192 of all others ; and in the third period, 1,960 first marriages, and 1,996 of all others. In cases where both parties were under the age of 20 years, 150 cases were reported, and they were all first marriages. The above- mentioned facts coincide so nearly with the results of previous years, that they may be confidently relied upon as furnishing a general law for this particular item of statistics for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

In the aggregate there were 13,683 marriages of parties in all conditions ; 11,085 of which, being the largest number of any one class, were of first marriages. Con- sidered by periods, more males and females were married between the ages of 20 and 25 than in any other period of five years, the number of males being 5,650 and of females, 6,250. The oldest male, being a widower of 94 years of age, was married to a widow of 40 ; one of 84 was married to a widow of 30 ; and another of 80 to a maid of 60. One young man of 17 married a widow of 84, and another of 20 ven- tured to marry one of 25, who received him as her third husband. One young girl of 15 was joined to a widower of 25, and another of 14 to a widower of 23. One male of 28 took for his first wife a female of 57, who had already had two husbands. One man of 48 years of age married, for his fourth wife, a maiden of 37.

DEATHS.

The whole number of deaths that have occurred within the Commonwealth during the year ending on the thirty-first of December, 1854, according to the registry that has been made in the several towns, and returned to the office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth, has amounted to 21,414. This exceeds the number reported for the previous year only 1,113.

From all the sources from which facts were collected in relation to this branch of registration during the year, and which were returned to the office of the Secretary, it appears that of the 21,414 deaths there were of males, 10,710 ; of females, 10,558 ; and that 146, a lesser number than usual, were classed as of unascertained sex.

Of the 21,121 individuals who died in 1854, and whose ages were ascertained, (leaving 293 as unknown,) the aggregate number of years for the whole amounted to 573,619 ; showing the average age for each individual to have been for this year, 27.16 years.

Differing from the tables which have generally been prepared for the Massachu- setts Registration Reports, the abstract connected with these remarks exhibits the

BIRTHS, MARRIAGES, AND DEATHS. 299

uncommon fact that more males than females died during the year, showing an excess ' of 152. This excess, however, is so small, that it does not affect the general rule which has been supposed to exist in this country, naraely, that there is a greater mortality among females than males. :

It is a well established fact that the greatest number of deaths occur in early infancy. | There died in the year 1854, 4,188 children under one year of age; of whom 2, 02 1 were males, 1,78G were females, and 81 were reported as of unknown sex. Tlic number of those who died before attaining the age of five years, amounted to 8,079, — 4,337 males, 3,637 females, and 105 of unascertained sex, — being 38.15 per cent, of all the deaths that occurred during the year 1854, whose ages were reported. Be- tween the ages of 20 and 30, the next most fatal period of life, there died ],109 males, and 1,493 females, making a total of 2,G02 individuals.

Six individuals, two males and four females, died during the year, who had lived to a greater age than one hundred years. Two of these, both females, died in Pitts- field, in the county of Berkt-hiro — one, a colored person, reported as having been killed by a fall, at the advanced age of one hundred and ten years, and the other as having died at the ago of one hundred years. One female died in Enfield poor- house, in Worcester county, aged one hundred years and fourteen days. An Irish- 1 man died in the State Almshouse, at Tewksbury, in Middlesex county, and was re- corded as being one hundred years old. An old man died at Winchendon, in the! county of Worcester, at the age of one hundred and one years, nine months and three days, and an aged female in the city of Boston, in the one hundred and third year of her age.

PROCURES PATENTS IN THIS AND FOREIGN COUNTRIES.

IIis long official connection with the Patent Office has rendered him familiar with its rules and practice, and with the history of invention in tliis and other countries ; and this experience, with the frequent visits which he pro- poses making to the Patent Office, justifies him in saying that his Agency will offer to inventors all the advantages of one located in Washington, and, in addition, those which result from a residence in the midst of mechanical and manu- facturing industry.

Advice given upon all matters relating to the validity, &c., of patents, the novelty and patentability of inventions. Specifications and drawings prepared, — Caveats filed, — Reconsiderations procured of applications that have been rejected upon imperfectly prepared papers, — Cases of interference, and applications for extension and re-issue prosecuted, — and in general, all business connected with the Patent Office transacted with care and promptness.

British and other foreign paten's procured, through prompt and confidential agents in London and Paris.

Persons residing at a distance may obtain all necessary information, and have their business transacted by writing to the subscriber, without the trouble and expense of a visit to Washington.

He begs leave to refer those unacquainted with him to the following testimonials :

FROM THE HON. CHARLES MASON, COMMISSIONER OF PATENTS.

U. S. P.\TENT Office, Feb. 28, 1855. I take great pleasure in stating that during tbe time T have been acting as Commissioner of Patents, Samuel Cooper, Esq., of Boston, has been engaged as solicitor, and has been in that capacity in constant correspondence and intercourse with the office ; he has evinced a thorough acquaintance with the Patent Law, and with the rules and practice of the office, a close attention to the interests of his clients, and a marked candor and courtesy that have rendered the transaction of business with him a pleasure. I have no hesitation in stating thac I regard him as one of the very best agents for the transaction of business with this office with whom I am acquainted.

CHARLES MASON, Commissioner.

FROM THE EXAMINERS IN THE PATENT OFFICE.

" The undersigned. Principal and Assistant Examiners in the United States Patent Office, have torsevcral rears been well acquainted with Mr. Samuel Cooper, lately a principal Examiner in this office, and take pleasuje in stating that he is a gentleman of the highest moral character, of unquestioned knowledge in the business and practice of the office, and that his scientific attainments are such as eminently fit him for the business in which he is about to engage.

Henry B. Renwick, L. D. Gale, J. H. Lane, Principal Examiners. T. R. Peale, Thos. T. Everett, F. Southgate Smith, TVilbam Chauncv Lancdon, Assistant Examiners.

The ease with which wood is worked in that direction gires it speed of execution ; and the flexibility of the Shingle width- wise relieves the s.aw, so that it may be ground thin on its edge, so as to cut away but little of the wood.

The Shingles now made with this Mill sell seventy-Jive cents per thousand more th;in any other sawed Shingles.

GREAT AMERICAN ATOREIGN OFFICE

FOR

SECURING PATENTS FOR INVENTIONS.

Agency for Business with the U. S. Patent Office, Washington.

R. H. EDDY,

No. 76 STATE STREET, opposite Kilby Street, BOSTON.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO INVENTORS !

The subscriber, (late Agent of the U. S. Patent Office, under the Act of 1837,) determined to present advantages, in applying for Patents, superior to those offered inventors by others, has made arrangements whereby on applications prepared and conducted by him, THIRTY DOLLARS ( instead of Twenty, as paid back hy others, ) will be remitted by him in case of a failure to obtain a patent, and the withdrawal through him within thirty days after the rejec- tion.

This Agency is not only the largest in New England, but though it inventors have advan- tages for securing patents, or ascertaining the patentability of inventions, unsurpassed by, if not immeasurably superior to, any which can be offered them elsewhere. The testimonials be- low given prove that none is MORE SUCCESSFUL AT THE PATENT OFFICE than the subscriber ; and as SUCCESS IS THE BEST PROOF OF ADVANTAGES AND ABILITY, he would add that he has abundant reason to believe, and can prove, that at no other office of the kind are the charges for professional services so moderate. The immense practice of the subscriber during twenty years past, has enabled him to accumulate a vast collection of specifications and official decisions relative to patents. These, besides his exten- sive library of legal and mechanical works, and full accounts of patents granted in the United States and Europe, render him able, beyond question, to offer superior facilities for obtaining patents.

Caveats, Specifications, Assignments, and all Papers and Drawings necessary to the procural of patents in this and foreign countries prepared, and advice rendered on legal and scien- tific matters, respecting inventions, or infringement of patents. All necessity of a journey to Washington to procure a patent, and the usual great delay there, are here saved inventors.

Copies of the claims of any patent furnished for one dollar. Assignments recorded at Washington. Patents secured in Great Britain, France, and other foreign countries, through Agents of the highest respectability. R. H. EDDY, Solicitor of Patents.

TESTIMONIALS.

" During the time I occupied the ofBce of Commissioner of Patents, R. H. Eddy, Esq., of Boston, did business at the Patent Office, as Solicitor for procuring patents. There were few, if any, persons acting in that capacity, who had so much business before the Patent Office ; and there were none who conducted it with more skill, fidelity and success. I regard Mr. Eddy as one of the best informed and most skilful Patent Solicitors in the United States, and have no hesitation in assuring inventors that they cannot employ a person more competent and trustworthy, and more capable of putting their ap- plications in a form to secure for them an early and favorable "consideration at the Patent Office.

EDMUND BURKE, Late Commissioner of Patents." from: the rKESENX COMIUISSIOISIBR.

"August 17, 1855. — During the time I have held the office of Commissioner of Patents, R. H. Eddy, Esq., of Boston, has been extensively engaged in the transaction of business with the Office as a Solicitor. He is thoroughly acquainted with the law, and the rules of practice of the Office. I regard him as one of the most capable and successful practitioners with whom I have had official intercourse.

CHAS. MASON, Commissioner of Patents." From the Boston Intelligencer.

" We have had some expensive experience in the stupidity of untutored patent agents, and can ap- peal to protracted patent suits to sustain us, w-hen we say that one error in the preliminary steps is fa- tal to all subsequent proceedings. In view of which facts, we recommend to our friends Mr. R. H. Eddy of No. 76 State street, as the most experienced and thorough patent solicitor in our city. His long experience, his constant application, and his zeal, are too well known to require comment. He makes his employers' interests his own, and may be implicitly relied upon.

And it may be well to say that he has reduced his prices, so that he works cheaper than any of his competitors, and at any price the efficient man is the cheapest in the world. His references are a host of the greatest inventors, the best mechanics and ablest men in our midst, and he may well be proud of such men as those who speak in his praise."

Published every Morning, except Sundays Terms, $S.OO per

annum in advance.

NATHAN HALE AND CHARLES HALE, EDITORS. CHARLES HALE, PubHsher.

This is a first-class newspaper of the largest size pub- lished in Boston. It is printed upon clear type, upon -white paper, of tlie best quality used for newspapers. Tlie Bos- ton Daily Advertiser is conducted with care and dili- gence, and is believed to possess a favorable character ■wherever it is known. With the introduction of the new type, a new order of arranging the contents has been adopted, which allows of a considerable increase in the quantity of reading matter, and enables us to present the news as received at the latest hour, in the fullest ex- tent, without Inconvenience, and without curtailing the space devoted to the various regulardcpartments of intel- ligence. AVhile we propose to retain all the old character- istics of the paper, which have given it its favorable repu- tation, we expect to introduce sucli new features as shall malte It approach as nearly as possible the hishest stand- ard of excellence for a daily newspaper published at the present day in the capital of NewKiigland.

Every effort is used to present in the columns of the Boston Daily Advertiser, the Neics of the day, with ful- ness, freshness and accuracy; and, further, to discuss the topics of the day freely, fairly and with independence, at the same time that the utmost care is taken to express no opinion which is not formed after careful personal exami- nation by the editors of the subject under consideration.

The attention of the public is respectfully called to the following characteristics of the Boston Daily Adver- tiser: —

1. Its editorial articles, which are numerous, written with care, and express only the opinions of the editors. No pay is ever received for anything appearing as editorial.

2. The regularity and fidelity with which all public doc- uments, reports and matters oif permanent value are pre- sented it its columns.

3. The copiousness of its summaries of foreign Intelli- gence, which are prepared with laborious care from ample materials.

4. The perfection of its marine intelligence. Its lead- ing position in this department is believed to be generally admitted without question.

5. The accuracy and independence of its daily reports of financial and commercial intelligence, which are so pre- pared as to remove the paper beyond suspicion of aiding Individual interests.

C. The accuracy and fulness of its legal and legislative reports. Many important judicial decisions are given in full in its columns. The calendar of the Supreme Court of the United States, as well as of the State and local courts, and the record of insolvency meetings, are published reg- ularly in the Daily Advertiser.

7. Its literary intelligence, and the impartiality of its notices of books, pictures, public amusements, &c.

Tlie Boston Daily AovEitTiSER isnota party "organ," but has supported to the utmost of its ability the policy of the whig party, from the earnest conviction that that was the best adapted for the welfare of the State and nation.

An arrangement has been made lor the exclusive publi- cation in the Boston Daily Advertiser of special des- patches from Wasliington fiom a correspondent enjoying unusual facilities for obtaining fresh and correct informa- tion at the seat of government. These are additional to the regular (clegraiihic despatches. Arrangements have also been made for the exclusive publication of u weekly tabular statement of the Imports of foreign goods at Boston, showing the quantity and value of each article. This Is In addition to the rck'ular dally report of imports, and Is the only regular publication which shows by figures', the amount and extent of the foreign commerce of Boston.

The Semi-Weekly Advertiser and Weekly Messen- ger contain substantially the same reading matter as the Daily Advertiser, but less space is occupied with ad- vertisements, of which very few appear in the Weekly Messenger.

The weekly statement of the condition of the banks in the City of Boston, and the monthly statement of the banks in the .State of Massachusetts, out of Boston,required by the law of the State, are published by authority in the Boston Daily Advertiser, and also appear without delay, in the Semi-Weekly Advertiser and Weekly Messenger.

These papers are printed lor mailing on a sheet weighing " not over li ounces." and are accordingly chargeable for postage at the lowest rate, viz.. a quarter of a cent for each paper within the State, when paid quarterly in advance.

A quarter's subscription to the daily, postage included, thus costs but $2.20; to the semi-weekly, but $1.07; and to the weekly, but 54 cents. Persons residing in the coun- try arc invited to try the experiment of a subscription to a Boston paper for this period, at these rates.

Office, 6 Congress Street, Boston.

iFrom the National Intelligencer.}

The Boston Daily Advertiser.— A paper so wise, so instructive, so cautious and so truthful, deserves every success; and its success is a credit to the community which it ably serves and enlightens.

[.From the Albany Slate Register. 2

The Boston Daily Advertiser.— It is one of the very best newspapers in the United States, and we take the lib- erty of rejoicing In its prosperity.

[From the New Fork Shipping Zist.2

The Boston Daily Advertiser.— The Daily has long since acquired the reputation of being the best marine journal in the country, and as a literary and political pub- lication, it ranks deservedly high.

[From the Yarmouth Register.'^

The Boston Daily Advertiser.— We are unable to dis- cover any points in the witticisms that are sometimes at- tempted at the expense of the "Advertiser," implying that it is lacking in enterprise in the collection of the news of the day. A glance at its columns will show that it is fully up to the mark, and its matter Is evidently prepared with much care; while in one department, and an important one to Cape readers— we refer to the shipping intelligence — it unquestionably excels all its cotemporaries In the fresh- ness and accuracy of its reports. This department is under the direction of Mr. J. A. Ballard, the best shipping reporter in tlie country.

[From the Vineyard Gazette. 2

The Boston Daily Advertiser has appeared In a new dress, and looks remarkably well. The "Advertiser" is unquestionably the best paper in Boston, and we rejoice at this renewed evidence of its prosperity.

[From the Charleston (S. C.) Courier.}

The Boston Daily Advertiser, one of the best jour- nals in the country, made Its appearance, a day or two ago, printed throughout on new and beautiful tj'pe.

Ventilators, Tubular Furnace,

251 STATE STREET, BOSTON.

Ventilators for Ventilating Churches, School Houses, Halls, and other buildings. This Ventilator is a decided improvement over all others, by having three distinct drafts, or powers of action ; and is ornamental in its con- straction. It is now in successful operation on Churches, School Houses, Car Houses, and other buildings.

VESNTIL/LTING TUBULAR FURNACE.

This Furnace is differently constructed from any other. It is very simple and compact, a powerful generator of Heat, and not liable to get out of order. It is so constructed that the atmospheric air passes rapidly through the tubes and registers to the rooms, without coming in contact with hoc iron the second time ; consequently it retains the oxygen, and you receive the pure air, free from gases, &c. It is economical in the consumption of fuel, and has given entire satisfixction wherever it has been put up.

When set, it takes only about half the room that others generally occupy.

A VERY VALUABLE IMPROVEMENT IN

Chimneys for Factories & Macliine Sliops.

This Chimney at, say from 40 to 50 feet hish, will give as powerful a draft, and more uniform, than one built in the usual way at 100 feet. It will cost less to build, is most durable, self-cleaning, and sure proof against fire ; and saves at least 2a per cent, in the consumption of fuel. All rooms in the building can be ventilated by it.

A NEW AND VALUABLE INVENTION

It has long been supposed that a. large proportion of the fuel consumed for the general purposes of generatiner heat hTS been lost or waf^ted in passing off into the atmosphere in a crude or unconsuraed state, in the form of smoke and iTHses; but as our ancestors did, so have we continued to do, — viz., construct apparatus for merely burning fuel, without consulting the laws of Nature in reference to the application of heat to thw heating surface, so as not only to consume the combustible properties in the smoke and gases, but to hold them suspended over the fire to the direct action of the light and rays of heat from the fire- chamber, until the whole fuel consumed is made to impart its heat before it is suffered to escape into the atmosphere.

Mr. Girdner Chilson, of the firm of Chilson, Gould & Co., No-i. 99 & 101 Blackstone street, Boston, has succeeded, after several years' study and experimenting, in producing a new and highly valuable invention for constructing all kinds of heating apparatus, for either steam, hot water, hot air furnaces, stoves, ranges, &c. From many satis- factory experiments, in which his invention has been thoroughly tested, it is fair to conclude, if not promise, that at lea^t a saving of fifty per cent, in fuel over the common mode can be made by it.

This invention was patented by Mr. Chilson in the United States, Sept. 26, 1854; in England, May 26, 1854 ; and in Fiance, June 14, 1854. It is well known that Mr. Chilson has been a successful inventor for many years, and has done much to improve the mode of heating apparatus for various purposes. Many public and private buildings throughout the country are indebted to Mr. Chilscn for a healthful, economical and durable plan for warming and V. ntilatiou. A constant personal attention to the subject has crowned his labors with remarkable success. Stimulated by his success he has spared no pains or expense in making further researches into the causes of the consumption of fuel and its effects applicable to heating surfaces ; and some five years since he discovered a new principle for burning fuel and generating heat, which will, when fully developed, tend to revolutionize the world in the manufacture of heat- ing apparatus for all t,eneral purposes. Although dis- covered some eight years since, yet it was not until quite recently brought to that state of perfection to w irrant him in announcing it to the world. The first form or plan of this piinciple brought out, was what is known as Uhilson's Patent Trio, (>r. as some call it, the " Elephant Stove." We know of no more comprehensive way of describing and explaining this stove, than to copy a notice of the Stove and Portable Furnace constructed on the same principle, published in the Boston Atlas, Dec, 1854.

"Eco^OMY IN Fuel. — It has long been the study of the manufacturers of stoves, furnaces and other warming ap- paratus, how they could turn to the best account the large amount of unconsumed or half consumed fuel, which is known to pass off in the form ot smoke and gas, into the smoke pipes. Invention after invention has sought to diminish this waste, and to increase the proportion made available in increased caloric. Among those which have proved to be most successful may be mentioned some of Mr. Chilson's inventions, and among them we would par- ticularly notice the Trio, or so-called Elephant Stove, aud also his portable furnaces on the same principle.

We have enjoyed the benefits of one of these stoves in our counting room for two years, but as there are so many new inventions in furnaces and stoves, we have not been in haste to express our opinion, until we could fully test the success of this invention. We can now speak docidedly in its favor, and any one who examines its successful opera- tion at our counting room in Siate 8tr(et,will need only his own senses to assure him that we award to it no undeserved approval. We can also speak from experience, with high approval of Mr. Chilson's Trio Portable Furnace, on the same principle. We now have one of these in our dwelling, taki g tlie place of one found insufficient to warm the building, and removed to give place for the Trio. The latter gives entire satisfaction, affording a thoroughly warmed house, which was not the case with the one re- moved, with the promise of a large saving of fuel.

That it depends entirely on the construction of heating apparatus to secure the ureatcst possible amount of heat from the fuel consumed, there cannot be a doubt. We have had suflicient experience in this matter in years past, by the use of Htoves and furnaces, to satisf / us of the un- necessary waste of fuel. The radiating surfiee is usually tuo .-mal., aud of such to m as to allow the smoke and gases to puss off too quickly unconsumed to the chimney.

It is thus totally- lost. This has been caused by the want of a suitable radiating surface, so constructed as to hold the smoke and gases in such a position as to cause them to become highly heated, and thereby thoroughly consumed, and impart their heat before leaving the radiator. Mr. Chilson's invention has succeeded in securing this desirable object, in the saving of fifty per cent, in fuel, and giving us thoroughly warmed rooms, and withal a fresh, healthful warmth.

We would describe the form and operation of the stove, say one of the medium size, to be that of a long, tapering trunk or cone, fifteen feet long, fifteen inches diameter at base, and two inches diameter at top ; this long cone may be supposed to be bent so as to form three perpendicular branches — which is the supposed reason for its name Trio. Just beyond the first bend is a collar, to which is attached the smoke pipe, and in this collar is fixed a damper, and in the same collar is an opening just large enough to let in the small end of the tapering trunk.

In kindling the fire the damper is opened just long enough for the fuel to ignite. It is then fully closed for the day. The only escape for the smoke and gases, is thi'ough the whole circuit of the long tapering trunk, and they are discharged out of the small end of the trunk into the before named collar, and thence into the smoke pipe. Thus, when the damper is closed, the smoke and gases are confined in this trunk, and exposed to so high a heat from the direct rays and action of the fire, as to cause the heated current to continually impinge against the whole of it.i large surface, quite exhausting the heat fiom the fuel, and using the formerly wasted smoke and gases for generating a powerful heat, and greatly economizing the use of fuel for warming purposes.

A much more satisfactory idea can be formed of the principles of the stove from personal inspection, than from any description that can be given. The experience of two years enables us to speak with knowledge of its excel- lence."— Boston Atlas.

The invention spoken of at the head of this article, has many valuable improvements over the Trio. We will at- tempt to describe this invention : — When applicable to a steam or hot water boiler, the fire chamber is broad and shallow ; directly over, and resting on the edges of the fire chamber, is one broad cone or radiator, terminating at or neirly at a point some four feet above the box ; out of this main cone are as many small cones as can well enter the main cone, which when completed resembles a pyramid of cones. This pyramid of cones is surmounted by a large circular chamber, into which the outside series of cones enter for drawing off equally the noncombustible products of combustion, and what escape heat there is, from the cones, where it is distributed through the circular chamber and becomes fully exhausted before escaping to the chim- ney.

The wonderful economy in the consumption of fuel, and the great power of generating heat, are caused mainly by holding a large amount of heated smoke and gases sus- pended in a large number of cones directly over the fire box. The continuous taper of these cones so reduces the whole amount of area at th^ir terminus on entering the circular chambers, as to make the combined area about equal to that of the escape smoke pipe at the centre of the circular chamber ; thus preventing the products of com- bustion from escaping until they part with all that is combustible, which is thoroughly done by the direct action of the rays of light and heat being brought to bear upon the heated smoke aud gases confined in the cones; and by thus highly heating the gases, they become luminous and reflect their rays of light and heat not only up the cones, but also downward to the bases of the semi-cones and on to the top of the fuel in the fire box, thus fully consuming every thing that is combustible in the fuel.

The action of heat brought to bear or impinge against these cones, is not unlike the action of the light and rays of the sun brought to bear on the sun glass, when its rays are brought to a focus, or the power of the blow pipe to produce an intense heat by concentrating the wind to a focus. Notwithstanding the small contracted openings at the terminus of the cones, the draft is sure to be good ; owing to the intense heat in the cones, the small jets of heat that escape into the circular chambers suffice to keep it warm, and insure a good draft without the waste of fuel.

This invention is now used for various purposes, and the public can decide whether tlice remarks are exaggerated or not. See Advertisement inside first cover.

MAYNARD & NOYES'8 BLACK WRTING INK.

The manufacture of this Ink was established in 1816, and the quality has now been tested by the public for forty years. During this time it has been constantly increasing in public favor and patronage, and is now the leading article in the country. Those who may be ignorant of its superiority and reputa- tion, are invited to read the following testimonials, and to make trial of it themselves. When the best judges, after using it twenty and more years, express themselves in one manner concerning its superior excellence, it is quite evident that no one need be troubled with bad Ink.

Bank of State of North Carolina, Raleigh, March 4, 1847. Messrs. Maynard & Noyes : Gentl»men, — Your Writing Ink has been in almost constant use bv the officers of this banking house for the last fifteen years, and has always been preferred to any other brand. It flows freely from the pen, and does not mould; and the color, though S07netimes pale when first opened, becomes a beautiful permanent black. I have been a regular consumer of it myself during this time, excepting when curiosity has led me to make trial of other kinds, and take pleasure in being able to speak so favorably of it, and trust that my opinion, founded on such long experience, will induce many who may not be so well acquainted with its merits to give it a trial.

Yours, respectfully, C. Deavey', Cashier.

Messrs. Maynard & Noyes: Gentlemen, — We are happy in being able to say, that we entirely con- cur in the opinion expressed above of your Writing Ink, by Mr. Dewey, the Cashier of this Institution. Respectfully yours, Dunn Cameron, Prcs. S. W. Whiting, Teller. D. DuPre, Bookkeeper.

Boston, January 10, 1848. Messrs. Maynard & Noyes : Gentlemen, — It is now, I believe, more than twenty years since the School Committee passed an order for using your Black Writing Ink in the City Schools. I have used it during that period, and deem it a first-rate arti- cle, and cheerfully recommended it to others. It flowsfreely from the pen, and increases in blackness after being committed to paper, and the color is dur- able. I know of no Ink equal to yours, and I have tried many kinds, both English and American. P. Mackintosh, Jr. Principal of Writing Dep. Hancock School.

Office of Merchants^ Ins. Co., Boston, Nov. 18, 1847. Messrs. Maynard & Noyes : Gentlemen, — I have used your Writing Ink for the last sixteen years. In 1840, I gave you a certificate of its excellence, and having continued its use ever since to my entire satisfaction, my opinion is confirmed in its superi- ority. It flows freely from the pen, and is, in all respects, the best Ink I have ever used.

George Homer, Secretary.

Registry of Deeds, Boston, Nov. 20, 1847. Messrs. Maynard & Noyes : I have made use of your Writing Ink for the Recording of Deeds, &c., the past twenty-five years, and having found it to suit

my wishes and purposes entirely, take pleasure in renewing my testimonial of its superioritv. From the appearance of the records in my office. I am sat- isfied it is superior to any I have used, and consider it particularly adapted for all purposes where per- manency of color is requisite or desirable. It flotos well from the pen, and does not mould; and my old- est records pn'ove its color to be unalterably black.

Henry Alline, Register of Deeds.

Boston Post Office, Dee. 4, 1851. Messrs. Maynard & Noyes: Gentlemen, — In 18431 certified to the superior quality of your Wri- ting Ink. I have continued to use it ever since that time, and take pleasure in expressing as I then did my entire satisfaction with it. It has now been used in this office more than twenty years. Other Inks have during that time been tested, but yours has been in every instance preferred. For fluidity, black- ness, and permanency , none has been found equal to it.

George Wm. Gordon, Postmaster.

Bowdoin School, Boston, Dec. 10, 18-51. Messrs. Maynard & Noyes: I have uised your Ink in the Writing Department of this School during the last twenty-four years, and feel pleased in being able to express the same favorable opinion of it that 1 did ten years ago. It flows freely from the pen, its color is brilliant and permanent, and it com- bines all the necessary and desirable qualities of good ink. It has given me such entire satisfaction for so many years, that I can strongly recommend it to all of my profession, who so much need a first-rate article of writing liquid.

Jas. Robinson, Writing Master.

Boston, Dec. 2, 1851. Messrs. Maynard & Noyes : I am pleased in be- ing able to say that longer experience in the use of your Ink, and the occasional trial of other kinds, have confirmed the good opinion I some years since ex- pressed concerning it. I have used it in my weekly preparations for the pulpit twenty-one years, and have found it suit my wishes entirely. Its peculiar excellence is that it becomes blacker by age, at the same time it flotos easily from the pen, ana is suffi- ciently dark to make what is written easily to be read imtnediately after it has been committed to paper.

Yours respectfully,

G. W. Blagden, Pastor Old South Ch.
