On the contrarv, however, the most disastrous con* sequences have been the result. Work, men have not only been and thrown out of employment, thereby becoming deprived of the means to auppirt their families, dependent upon their labor for the necessary comforts of life, but, manufactories of every description have been clos d, furnaces stopped, and, all the evils attendant have been scattered broad-east over the land. The Newark a paper as correct in its reasoning as any we can find, makes the following beautiful simile. " It is generally suj(p»osed that tho man who takes a fish from the ocean, for his subsistence, adds in a peculiar manner to national wealth. He rescucs from the deep a valuable creature, which came into existence without bis care or knowledge, and grew up and was nourished free from expense on the part of any one. O* tho other hand, when one procures tho rearing of an ox for his own consumption, he is thought not to have contributed anything to the public, in an economical point of view, but rather to have consumed what it h vl previously possessed. \ ery different is the fact hawever. In the (orsner case the man has spent a portion of his time, equal to the value of the fish, in catching him ; and when he bu been eaten, nothing at all remains. But the other individual, who preferred to live on l.ecf. has converted the ox into food for hi* table, it is true ; but he has also, in the meantime, accomplished another he has given support to him who bred and (atted htm. Two persons have thus tees-ived support—the man who purchased the r.ninial fur food, and ho who fed and Effects of th* Tariff of 1840. | Early in the morning of the 28th, wo ; Imd s|» rm wImlrs again in .sight, and scr. i oral large shoals were nuticcd during the day. They were, however, equally wary with those we hpd before seen, and it was not until late in the afternoon they could be favorably approached, when each boat | harpooned a whale. Three of the boats J secured their prizes speedily and without accident; but the fourth had encountered a mischievous or " fighting" whale of the most dangerous character. The cachalot, which was a young male, had been pierccd with two w ell-planted harpoons: but instead of flying from his enemies, he rather sought to attack them whenever they approached him for the purpose of lancing. His first efTort-was to rush against the boat with his head. Baffled in thisby the crew steering clear of the contact, he next attempted to crush it with his jaws; when fuiling through, tilt- unaccommodating position of his mouth, he remedied this effect j with much sagacity in his last and most | successful assault. Approaching iinpetu; ously from a distance of about forty yards, i lie turned upon his back, arid raising his I lower jaw to grasp the boat from above. | A lance-wound, however, caused him to j close his mouth and resume a natural po sitioii before he had reached his object; but, continuing to udvance, he struck the boat with a force that nearly overturned it, nnd concluded by again turning oti his back and thrusting his lower jaw through the planks. TIip boat filled almost immediately; sunk with its gunwttlo to the level ot the sea, and was rendered incapable of retaining' its crew only by the expedient of lashing the ours across its sides. The harpoon-line was cut, and the whale made of without doing mischief. The wrecked boat scarcely perceptible above the waves, crowded with a half-immerced crew, and wi;h two whifts tlying as a signal of distress, presented a truly forlorn appearance* I he ship and disengaged bouts bore down to its assistance; and after rescuing the crew and stores, took it on board to repair." " All boys," said he in conclusion, "efit hadn't been that thC» devil, or some dutchman, invented brimstone and luclfer matches, thar would have been an end to critter, and the verdict would hev been—Died of a Grizzly!" * From the Bluir County Whig. Country vs. City Press. Th» Broken Heart. We have long looked upon it as n grievnnee, almost too intolerable to be borne, the manner which the City Press attempts to control, and unjustly interfere with the rights of their cotemporaries in the country. If a postage law is asked for to protect the bountry press, we find the editors of the city weeklies interfering in order that they may derive all the advantage from it. This has been the case ever since the cheap postage system has been advocated, nnd they always succeed in getting it to suit themselves. Now, (br one, we enter our protest against- theso worthless, trashy city weeklies having any more advantage than their country neighbors ; and if the country press would speak out as was desperate glad to got away from one triysolf once." I had him to the edge of a bar story, and knowing from his manner, that his relation of such an occurrence as getting away from a grizzly would be interesting, 1 tempted him on.

If an American purchases I one hundred tons of iron, or a tliomsand , j'urds of cloth iu England, of course he obj tains such articles in exchange for bis money ; it is equally obvious that no dim in this country would become a whit the richer by such an operation. But, were the same individual to obtain or purchase his iron from the furnaces ot New Jersey or Pennsylvania, and his cloth from the Lowell Mills, how different would be the result ? Fie would by this operation havo given a livelihood to one countryman or more of his, who at the same time, would contribute the result of Kit industry and talents "to the wealth and glory of his native land in peace, and defend her rights i and liberties by his valor in the event of war." This is conclusive reasoning, e£ fcctive and potent; but, the deleterious offeets which have been felt, are still felt, and developing themselves every day, by tho operations of Polk's tariffof 1840, ex. hibit themselves more effectually in the suspension of manufactories even Jin RNew England alone just in the vicinity pf Hoston there have been over 300,000 spindles stopjDed, and in the New States nearly 700,000.

There is tome inquiry as to whether the Lngli.sh Patent Laws will protect from piracy such patented American inventions as may be exhibited at the great Industrial bair, to be held in London next May. " No protection is accorded by the English patent law to the foreign inventor, unless he has taken out a patent in England, as well as in his own country. An act was passed at the late session of Parlia. inent, which was intended by its origina. tors, as a protection to all original inventions which might be placed in the exposition, but the bill was so mutilated in committee, the New York Star understands, that, as it now stands, it cover designs onlv, and not inventions.—The subject has been brought before the Fair Commissioneis, and it is hoped that some measure will be adopted for securing, against piracy all \ original inventions, patented or unpatented, during the lime they are on view in the exhibition. Prince Albert, in reply to ap. plications made to him upon the subject, says, however, that " it is one of much difficulty."

On the contrarv, however, the most disastrous con* sequences have been the result. Work, men have not only been and thrown out of employment, thereby becoming deprived of the means to auppirt their families, dependent upon their labor for the necessary comforts of life, but, manufactories of every description have been clos d, furnaces stopped, and, all the evils attendant have been scattered broad-east over the land. The Newark a paper as correct in its reasoning as any we can find, makes the following beautiful simile. " It is generally suj(p»osed that tho man who takes a fish from the ocean, for his subsistence, adds in a peculiar manner to national wealth. He rescucs from the deep a valuable creature, which came into existence without bis care or knowledge, and grew up and was nourished free from expense on the part of any one. O* tho other hand, when one procures tho rearing of an ox for his own consumption, he is thought not to have contributed anything to the public, in an economical point of view, but rather to have consumed what it h vl previously possessed. \ ery different is the fact hawever. In the (orsner case the man has spent a portion of his time, equal to the value of the fish, in catching him ; and when he bu been eaten, nothing at all remains. But the other individual, who preferred to live on l.ecf. has converted the ox into food for hi* table, it is true ; but he has also, in the meantime, accomplished another he has given support to him who bred and (atted htm. Two persons have thus tees-ived support—the man who purchased the r.ninial fur food, and ho who fed and Effects of th* Tariff of 1840. | Early in the morning of the 28th, wo ; Imd s|» rm wImlrs again in .sight, and scr. i oral large shoals were nuticcd during the day. They were, however, equally wary with those we hpd before seen, and it was not until late in the afternoon they could be favorably approached, when each boat | harpooned a whale. Three of the boats J secured their prizes speedily and without accident; but the fourth had encountered a mischievous or " fighting" whale of the most dangerous character. The cachalot, which was a young male, had been pierccd with two w ell-planted harpoons: but instead of flying from his enemies, he rather sought to attack them whenever they approached him for the purpose of lancing. His first efTort-was to rush against the boat with his head. Baffled in thisby the crew steering clear of the contact, he next attempted to crush it with his jaws; when fuiling through, tilt- unaccommodating position of his mouth, he remedied this effect j with much sagacity in his last and most | successful assault. Approaching iinpetu; ously from a distance of about forty yards, i lie turned upon his back, arid raising his I lower jaw to grasp the boat from above. | A lance-wound, however, caused him to j close his mouth and resume a natural po sitioii before he had reached his object; but, continuing to udvance, he struck the boat with a force that nearly overturned it, nnd concluded by again turning oti his back and thrusting his lower jaw through the planks. TIip boat filled almost immediately; sunk with its gunwttlo to the level ot the sea, and was rendered incapable of retaining' its crew only by the expedient of lashing the ours across its sides. The harpoon-line was cut, and the whale made of without doing mischief. The wrecked boat scarcely perceptible above the waves, crowded with a half-immerced crew, and wi;h two whifts tlying as a signal of distress, presented a truly forlorn appearance* I he ship and disengaged bouts bore down to its assistance; and after rescuing the crew and stores, took it on board to repair." " All boys," said he in conclusion, "efit hadn't been that thC» devil, or some dutchman, invented brimstone and luclfer matches, thar would have been an end to critter, and the verdict would hev been—Died of a Grizzly!" * From the Bluir County Whig. Country vs. City Press. Th» Broken Heart. We have long looked upon it as n grievnnee, almost too intolerable to be borne, the manner which the City Press attempts to control, and unjustly interfere with the rights of their cotemporaries in the country. If a postage law is asked for to protect the bountry press, we find the editors of the city weeklies interfering in order that they may derive all the advantage from it. This has been the case ever since the cheap postage system has been advocated, nnd they always succeed in getting it to suit themselves. Now, (br one, we enter our protest against- theso worthless, trashy city weeklies having any more advantage than their country neighbors ; and if the country press would speak out as was desperate glad to got away from one triysolf once." I had him to the edge of a bar story, and knowing from his manner, that his relation of such an occurrence as getting away from a grizzly would be interesting, 1 tempted him on.

If an American purchases I one hundred tons of iron, or a tliomsand , j'urds of cloth iu England, of course he obj tains such articles in exchange for bis money ; it is equally obvious that no dim in this country would become a whit the richer by such an operation. But, were the same individual to obtain or purchase his iron from the furnaces ot New Jersey or Pennsylvania, and his cloth from the Lowell Mills, how different would be the result ? Fie would by this operation havo given a livelihood to one countryman or more of his, who at the same time, would contribute the result of Kit industry and talents "to the wealth and glory of his native land in peace, and defend her rights i and liberties by his valor in the event of war." This is conclusive reasoning, e£ fcctive and potent; but, the deleterious offeets which have been felt, are still felt, and developing themselves every day, by tho operations of Polk's tariffof 1840, ex. hibit themselves more effectually in the suspension of manufactories even Jin RNew England alone just in the vicinity pf Hoston there have been over 300,000 spindles stopjDed, and in the New States nearly 700,000.

There is tome inquiry as to whether the Lngli.sh Patent Laws will protect from piracy such patented American inventions as may be exhibited at the great Industrial bair, to be held in London next May. " No protection is accorded by the English patent law to the foreign inventor, unless he has taken out a patent in England, as well as in his own country. An act was passed at the late session of Parlia. inent, which was intended by its origina. tors, as a protection to all original inventions which might be placed in the exposition, but the bill was so mutilated in committee, the New York Star understands, that, as it now stands, it cover designs onlv, and not inventions.—The subject has been brought before the Fair Commissioneis, and it is hoped that some measure will be adopted for securing, against piracy all \ original inventions, patented or unpatented, during the lime they are on view in the exhibition. Prince Albert, in reply to ap. plications made to him upon the subject, says, however, that " it is one of much difficulty."
