Lot ds glance at somo of tho prominent features of tho great commercial metropolis of tho old world in a point of view which figures alono can reveal. Its superficial area covers a space of 122 square miles. In its 1750 miles of streets dwell 2,362,236 inhabitants, who incrcaso annually upwards of iO.OOO, dwelling in 327,391 houses. Tho paving of its streets cost its citizens tho round sum of 14,000,000, or about $C8,000,000, and the yearly cost of repairs amounts to $9,000,000. Of gas and wator pipes, 1900 miles radiate through tho thoroughfares, the former supplying gas to 300,600 burners, which consume 13,0U0,C00 etipio feet of gas at a value amounting to $2,500,000. Tho pcoplo pay yearly taxes on their houses to tho amount of $62, 500,000, and on sundries and furniture contained thoniin for $106,000,000. Tho bankers of London control a capital of nearly R32O,0OO,UOO, ana the aillcront cash' capital insurance companies havo a capital of $50,000,000 in casn and SU'JO.OOO.UOO in ne- go.tiablo paper. Tho yearly consumption of animals is val ued at $40,000,000, comprising 277,000 oxen, 30,000calves, 1,480,000 shoep, and 34,0O0hozs. Of wheat, 1,000,000 quarters ; 65,000 pipos of wine, 2,000,000 gallons of brandy, 43,200,000 gallons of ale and porter, 3,000,000 tons of coal and 19,215,000 gallons of water. Of charity associations there are 350, distributing $9,018,170 to tho poor, to which is to bo added an estimated sum of $3,500,000 given out by private charities. One hundred and forty-three thousand and sixty-nvo ol herpop-uJation livo without visible means of support ; 4000 of these aro vagabonds, or, as wo more politely call them, "vagrants," costing the city $200,000 per annum to support them. London has, as is accounted, 1 10 professional burglar., 107 street thieves, 40 robbers, 793 pickpockets, 3075 ordinary thieves, 11 horse stealers, J40 dog thioves, 3 professional forgers, 28 counterfeiters, and 317 individuals who livo directly by tho profits of counterfeiting, 343 scoundrels, 182 begging little impostors, 100 roccivors of stoleu goods, etc., in all 162.140 criminals, known to tho metropolitan polico to be thoso who superintend their ran-ncuyrcs, whilo they annually forget tho ditl'or-enco between tho words jnctim and iemn, ap propriating to thcrasalvcs each year $210,000 of property, surely, lxmuon is a great city. Oregon Territory. Orcjron Territory makes but slow progress in its iruprovwents or population. Bishop Scott, tho Protestant Episcopal prelate of that dioceso, says that emigration thither is very small, and ho estimates tho civilized population at 60,000. In view of tho troubles with tho Indian savages, tho California gold fever, tho Kansas and Nebraska excitement, and tho superior attractions of Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota, it is not by any njcans strango that tha far away Oregon should be thus neglected. It is a pjaso dilncuit 01 ac cess. Lven fw Ban r rancisco tho voyage bv sea is Ions and wearisome, while tho ovor land journey abounds with fearful hardships and perils, i nat it lias matio so mucn pro-cress as to reach fifty thousand inhabitants, in the faco of all obstacles, shows that tho true American cnercv is thcro at work. In fact, Oregon has not yet got fairly started in the ereat raco of improvements, and what sho will become we must wait forfuturo developments to show. Under nrescnt circumstances, how ever, it is obvious that a movement to .bring in tho Territory as a Stato would uo prcma. (tiro. It needs moro inhabitants, more time to grow, beforo being .otytged tq sustauj the burden of a Stato .Government mbro aid from tha rcsl of tho Union. Meantime, it is. rather surprising to find tho Territory of Washington, wnicn naa oniy iwoive iniimi'.-u inhabitants when separated from Oregon by PnnoroRR. now estimated bv Bishop Scott and other authorities to contain ten thousand in-1 habitants.

This body mot at Columbus on tho 14th instant, and organized by oppointing 0. T. Stowart, of Huron County, President, and S. A. Payne, of Tortago, Secretary. Tho attendance was not largo, but very resjioctablo in appoaranoo. A committco, consisting of S. F. Cary, G. P. Burwoll and J. Kennon, woro appointed to report business to tho Convention. In tho afternoon tho following resolutions were reported and ndoptcd : Resolved, That we havo lost nono of our confidence in tho integrity and righteousness of our causo, or in its ultimato triumph. Our principles being sanctioned by the laws of Nature and tho rcyoaled will of God. Iiesolved, That wo will continuo to labor in tho family, in tho neighborhood, in tho nation, until no more hoarthstonos aro desolated, until rioting and disorder shall cease in our communities, until distilleries, breweries and dram shops are exterminated, and until tho importation of foreign liquors is prohibited. Resolved, That knowing our causo to bo just in the sight of God and good men, we plcdgo ourselves, each to tho other, and all of tho Republic, hereafter not to subordinate this to any other question of public interest, and never to vote without rofcronce to the State and national prohibition. Resolved, That any political party, whatever its profession or patriotism, which will cater to the views and oourt the suffrages of the makers, venders and consumers, whether native or foreign born, of intoxicating drinks, is unworthy of our confidence, and shall not rcceivo our support. Resolved, That if political parties, in their nominations for office, and avowal of principles, will not rospect tho wishes and opinions of temperanco mon, our self-respect and duty requires us to act and voto independently. Resolved, 'That a committee 01 tiro no ap pointed, with instructions to call a Conven tion in tho city of Columbus, at sucu times as they may think best after tho nominations havo been made by tho political parties, to present a suitable ticket for the support of tho temperance mon of Ohio. Resolved. That tho friends of Temperanoe in every County and District in the Stato, bo urged to bring out and support known friends of Prohibition, without regard to their political affinities, Resolved. That all nast experience in Tem peranco legislation aftlrms that any law that does not provido for the outlawry and seizure of liquors kept tor Ulflgal sale, is worthless, whilo every law which makes tho liquor tho chief point of attack, has been successful be yond tno most sanguine espixiuiioiia ui iu friends, and has never failed, unless obstructed, in its operations, by tho unscrupulous opposition of corrupt politicians. Resolved, That no Stato legislation can be entirely ctl'ectivo, whilo the importation of foreign liquors is pcrujuipu "j l"u Government, and that memorials to Congress should bo circulated throughout tho Union, asking the entire prohibition of foreign importation. Life in New York. Tho following New York Correspondence of tho Boston Journal is too true : " Ono of our rich merchants a man of a fortune of a million and a half a resident on tho 5th Avenue connected with opo of the first houses in Now York, was carried yesterday to tho Insano Hospital. Ho is another illustration of what our city shows in many lamentablo cases of tho danger of over attention to business. Wo keep a list of tho drunk ards who die, of tl)o suicides, ol deatns uy railroad collisions, and accidents, lint could tho number of deaths and the cases of insanity, growing out of tho "haste to bo vwh" of tho incessant application to business the overtaxing of the miud in the accumulation of wealth-tho appalling number would star tle and convulse society, lntemperanco nas her thousands of victims. But avarice can count up her tons of thousands. Probably no city in tho world demands so much of a man who has a tontine, or means 10 hiuro uno, New York. All his timo, brains, ollections, intcpseness, must be laid on the altar flf his idol. A business man of this city must bo almost a stranger to his own homo. Ho comes home late to dine, if ho don't dino down town. Ho sees his children Tor a moment or two in tho day, if at ajl. Ho would hardly know them in tb.e street. His wife has all tho day alono. Domestic lifo and comfort is a thing ho reads of. His hopo is that when his fortune is mado ho will settle down at hnmn nnd cniov domestic life. But to a thri- that timo seldom comos. And ft failure, insanity or early death, cuts off his hopes. Ho lives, cats, sleeps, worivs unu dies on the run." Wlio Oi-ns the Lnndtn Great In Great Britain, about sixty thousand fa- ECfPllllltlf I milics own all tho territory which is occupied by over twenty-seven millions ot innamtants. Five noblemen, the llarquis of Brcadalbano, tho Dukes Argylc, Athol, Sutherland, and Buccleuch, own perhaps ane-fourth of Scot-land. Tho ostato of tlio Duke of Sutherland comprises about seventy thousand acres, or more than ono thousand square miles. The domains of tho Marquis of Brcadalbano extend ono hundred Knglish miles, and reach nearly from sea to sea. By far tho wealthiest proprietor in tho lowlands of Scotland is tho Duke of Buccleuch, whoso estates cover several counties, and whoso palaco at Ualkioth is an establishment of regal magnificence. Tho great object ,of tho Knglish law of descent, is to concentrato wealth in tho hands of the few, and support a hereditary territorial aristocracy. Ileus a 11.4 Ebbs. For sovoral years past I have spent a few weeks or the latter part 01 Aiigusv ou w Kennebec river, ifl Maine. Tho lady wilh whom I have stoppod is a highly accomplished and intelligent housewife. She supports a "hennery' and from hor I derived my information in this matter. She told rho that for many years she had been in tho habit of administering to her hens with thoir common food, at tho n to of a teaspoon-ful of cayenne pepper each alternate day, to a dozen fowl. Last season, when I was with her, each morning sho brought in from twelve to fourteen eggs, having but sixteen hens in all. Slip again and again experimented m tho matter, by omitting Jo food .witn tno caj-onne for two or three days. The consequence invariably was, that her product pf eggs fell off to five or six per day. The same oflcct or using the cayenno is produced in winter as well as summer. Ration Transcript. .. War rr?

Whig was informed by Messrs. Dickinson, Hill, & Co., auctioneers of Richmond, that the gross amount of their sales of negroes last year reached tho enormous sum of two millions.-Tho ontiro sales of othor houses of a similar kind in Richmond would make the amount go over four millions, and still the business is increasing. We, ourselves, says tho Whig, witnessed tho salo of thirty-fivo servants at an avarngo value of $700. Negro girls not ten years of age sold for $800. If this work docs not stop in a short timo Virginia will be stripped of nearly all hor population all owing to tho agitation of the internal negro question by the fanatics of both sections. Ono of tho negroes mentioned above, a rough carpen ter, nearly forty years old, brought $1,615. In Williamsburg, last week, l(o Sanders, Esq., executor of tho estatp of the late Rey. Sccrvant Jones, exposed for sale some twenty slaves, all of whom commanded a most excel lent prico. A negro woman named "Dolly," between fifty and sixty years of ago, sold for $725 cash. All tho rest were sold at proportionate prices, so far as wo can ascertain. In JLyncliburgh last week tho following sales wore effected : Mnn 23 years old, $1,-315;, man 49 years old, $1,300 1 woman 20 years old and child, $1,140; man 21 years old, $1,110; woman 21 years, and two children, $1,380; woman 20 years, $1,300; girl If years, 1,1U0; boy JU years old, $1,U2S. In all thirty slaves were sold, and the aver age of old and young, including soveral chil dren in arm3, reached tho very high figure of 70H, The Charlottesville Advocate says : "There was a very largo number of negroes sold publicly on Monday, our last January court day. Probably as many as a hundred, belonged to different owners, changed masters that day. The prices which they brought were very high, ranging from $1000 to $1,300 for men, and $800 to 900 for women." A salo of ten negroes, ranging in agp from 10 to 70 years, was mado in Liberty, Bedford county, on New Year's day, for tho aggregate sum of $7,637. Tho highest price obtained was $1,255; the lowest $140 average, $763 70. This is doing pretty well, considering tho almost superannuated condition of several of the negroes. In Winsboro, South Carolina, on the 5th instant, tho sales of negroes fully sustained the high figures at which they havo previously ranged. Ope prime negro fellow sold for $1,340, a credit pf 12 months. We notice in tho Columbia Carolinian sales of the same day, by Byteewood & Smith, that also were in keeping with previous prices. A boy twenty years old sold for $1,200 ; boy 19 years old for $1,250. SLAVE STAMFEDE. Eleven negroes confined in Harris Edmond- Sor's jail, Virginia, and awaiting transportation South, escaped from confinement Saturday night, and havo npt sinoo been heard of. The First Bottle ol Lager Beers Cincinnati, Jan. 13, 1857: Eds. Com: I send you hero an item, which if you should think it proper, may publish in your paper; it is : HOW LAGER DEER ORIGINATED. Many j-ears agp, a shoemaker, in a small town, near Bamberg, Germany, sent his ap prentice to get a bottle of Bamoerg-beer, (small beer) which was sold in that placo ; but (ho boy, not knowing this, went to tho city itself; on returning ho met an acquaintance of his, Who t.old hint, that when he would come home, his "boss" whould whip him for staying out so long. Tho poor boy who was frightened at this, thought it bettor not to go homo at all, but took his bottlo, buried it under a tree, and ran away. He then went among tlio soldiers whero ho distinguished himself, so that in short ho became an officer. When ono day his regiment was quartered in this small town, tho officer thought to pay a visit to his old boss, but not before ho had got the bottlo of beer which he had buried somo years ago under tho tree. When ho entered, ho said, well sir, hero I bring you. your bottlo of Bamherg-beer that you sent mo for. Tho shoemaker not knowing what tjiis meant, was told by tho officer all about it. The bottlo was then opened, and tho beer found to be of a superior quality. When this fact was known, somo of tho brewers built deep vaults where they put their beer in and called this, after it had Jain there for soma time, lager, whveh means nothing moro than lying. The officer afterwards married the daughter of the shoemaker, and drank, as I am told, a good deal of lager-beer, receiving in that occupation tho assistance of his father-in-law. A Pennsylvania Editor' Wife Chasing her Husband's Sweetheart A ccntlcman iust down from Mauch Chunk . ,. t,mt dcspcrIlto affair trans.

In a word her domestic hapiness has been sacrihceu by her falso husband to an unholy intimacy kopt up with the aforementioned female, and on Monday sho determined to put an end to her troubles by taking the lifo of Miss Spoonheim-er, who happened at the time to bo at Mauch Chunk, stopping at tho America Hotel. Bt-solvcd upon this course, sho armed herself with a pistol and procecdod to the hotel, where sho was shown Miss Spoonheimor, upon whom she Wdo a sudden and desperate assault, in the presence ,91 tno lanuiauy. x onunaieiy for tho pbjoct of her anger, sho was unablo to draw tho pistol instantly, and, from excito-mont, ond tlio strugglo to detain Miss S., sho fainted.

Subsequently tho enraged woman appeared at tho hotel again with a largo knife, evidently intending, another attempt to execute vongeanoo upon tho destroyer of her peace. Easton Peiin. Ezjrrcis, Jan. 7. fcV " Why, Sambo, how Ulaok you aro '." said a gentleman, the other day, to a negro waiter at a hotel, "how in the namo of wonder did you got so black ?

INTEKIOU OF AFHICA. Dr. Livingston, who has just returned from Africa, wlioro he has explored more than any other traveler, is just now, tho lion in England. At one of his public meetings, he gave tho following account of interior Africa : "Dr. Livingston said that south of the 20th degree of south latitude tho country was arid ami contained very few rivers, but to the north ol that lino the oountry is woll watored, and very unlike what the centre of Africa is represented to bo. Tho country which he traversed, indood was covered with a net-work of waters, many of which were largo and deep, ant) pever dried up. The natives belong to tho true negro family, having a deal of wooly hair, and being darker than tho llcchuanos. They hold their women in high estimation, and many of them became chiefs. If a man woro asked to agrco to any arrangement or to go anywhere, he said : ' I must go home and ask my wife ; ' if she said 1 no,' there was no possibility of getting him to move. Wpmcn sat in their councils, and while a Bechuand swore by his father, these negroes swore by their mother. Dr. Livingston related soveral amusing instances to show the high estimation in which women aro held by these tribes. He believed tbey deserved it, and ho and his men had always been kindly treated by the 'fair' sex. Tho country in most parts abounded with elephants, buffaloes, zebras, giraffes, and other gaiuo, and ho had shot three new antelopes not yet known in England. Ho did not burden himself with provisions in, traveling, for tlie animals did not seem to know a gun, and would stand within bow-shot of his weapon. In the interior tho pcoplo were very kind to him, but he cou!4 not say they improved as ho approached the confines of civilization. Tho English name had penetrated a long way into tho interior, and the English were known as the ' tribe that likos the black man.' Do mestic slavery existed, bqt the exportation of slaves was cllcctually suppressed. JNgami was not a deep lake, but was what was left of a largo lake, which existed before tho fissure was mado near Lakai Falls, which followed a free course to tho Zambesi." The Sugar Duties. The Havana correspondent pf tho Sow Vorjf Courier and Enquirer, thinks tho repeal of the duties on imported Sugars from Cuba, would bo followed by a great reduction of the duties on Flour from this country. Ho makes the following calculation to show tho advantage to this country of tho chango : The number of white inhabitants in this island may bo safely calculated, in round numbers, at GO0.000, and if each of these consume nine ounces of flour per diom, which is a moderate consumption as compared with that of other countries, the total quantity consumed por diem would be more than 1,600 barrels of 200 pounds each. I will not troublo you with the figures, which will prove the correctness of this statement, because tho calculation is so simple, that any person feeling so inclined can mako it, and having dono so, and calculated tho value pr such an export pr ffjmr, I l)ipk even a Louisiana sugar grower would bo ready to concedo that it would be to tho common interest, that he should not bo supported by a high tariff on imported sugar, but that his interests would be better served by his turning his sugar ipto cotton plantations, in the production of which staple, he stands, confessedly, without a rival in tho wholo world. n hen American Hour is permitted to bo in troduced into this Island, a very large proportion of it, nay, perhaps tho wholo that is imported, will be brought from New Orleans, and instead of such small, though beautiful vessels as thoso now engaged in tho regular trado between Now Orleans and this city, it will bo found requisite to employ ships of much lar-gor burthen, and thus the ship-builders of the worm, as wen as the shipping interests or J. Orleans, will be advantaged by a reduction or tho high rates 01 duties to winch sugars im ported into the United States are now snbject; indeed, tho various interests that would bo directly and indirectly benefitted by a reduction of thoso duties are so numerous, that I cannot no,w recapitulate them. Judge Douglas against Yankee School Teachers. Judge Pol'QI.as thus writes to his paper in Chicago. The Democrat o( that city says : This comes from an ill grace from one who, but a few years ago, camo to Illinois a young Vcrmontcr, and applied to the Rev.

INDIGNATION MEETING. Immediately after tho election of Simo Cameron to tho United States Senate, th Keystone Club, of Philadelphia, Pa., called an indignation mooting at the Court Houae. Tha mooting presented a number of " rich and ra. cy " scenes, but wo cannot occupy our volu- uio spaco ior only a, sample, , Mr. Power, speaking of tho Democrats who had voted for Cameron the Republican candidate, said he expected nothing better of the; mon who had betrayed their party J hot hi cautioned tliom. that Amok, after the enjoy, mcnt of trust and honor, died in a garret at Montreal, and so will the traitors who betray, ed the Democratic party ergo, the three in. dividuaU referred to had hotter keep out of Canada, if they liayo no desire to end their days in an attic "' The Spoaker drew a terrible picture of the remorso that will beset those who voted for Camoron, and said that they will all wish yet that h 11, or some other unforseon. thing, would swallow them upl Sensation. tie! (Mr. Power) was of opinion that in two years. Simon Camoron would become one of the most violent supporters of Mr. Buchanan, because, he (Gon.
