CITY ADVERTISEMENTS. HAYDEN BBOTHEES, WHOLESALE DEALERS IN YANKEE NOTIONS and FANCY GOODS, New ZABRISKIE & LUMBY, exhibit and attest the high estimation in which the Japanese held the industrial and mechanical arts, and of their wisdom in securing to the working olasscs a knowledge of them, than the series of publications to which that book belongs. As a popular text-book for artisans, oontinues the report, wo have nothing equal to it.— It conveys the knowledge it treats of in fewer words than are commonly used in our prefaces or introductions; and yet is so full and lucid withal, that orJinaryjEnglisli readers can be at no loss as to any particular. It teaches more by figures than by types, by graphio representations of implements, scenes and processes. Fourteen pages are occupied by outline pictures slightly shaded 2tnd colored, representing workmen entering a copper mine, breaking out the ore, carrying it in baskets, smelting it, ca&ting the metal into ingots, weighing these, marking and packing them. Hand-pumps arc figured by which water is drawn from mines, and a wooden bellows used at furnaces. Thirteen pages are occupied with drawings of the numerous tools employed, and each has its name printed in Japanese characters. Everything complex has all its parts separately drawn, named and described.— Among the tools and instruments thus depicted to the eye, are the most minute and iusigniiioant, with all its parts, even to the baskets, pokers and brooms, variously formed hammers, pincers and tongs, bellows, furnaces, crucibles, ladles, wedges, tubs, shovels, molds, stamps for marking the ingots and to&las for weighing them.

They pavilion the east with draperies of crimson and gold when the glad sun returns from his nightly sojourning ; and through the long day they come and go, sometimes hurried along by the impetuous wind, sometimes gliding listlessly at the bidding of the indolent breezes, but always lovely, various, noiseless, doing their Masters bidding ore? land and sea. To him who will study attentively these serial productions of Omnipotent skill, note their changing forms, their countless hues, at one time so delioate that the bine filters through their fleecy texture, nt» another so- heavy and dark and threatening, that the soul is appalled at their presence, they open new and precious fountains of thought that ally us yet more closely with Divinity. ■They eeme and go, leaving no Week Upon the azure sea, and return no more until cast into new forms, robed in new colors, thus lending an ever changing charm to mountain, sea and meadow, and to the broad bine vault of heaven, into whose bosom they sometimes melt as snow flakes sink into the breast of ocean. They come down fVom their high places to veil the mountain tops and send bMlfd shadows into deep ravines; and they Md themselves up and float away at the bidding of the akin ; or they gather themselves together and supply the lakes that lie fur up amid verdureless cliffs, and feed the litUe rills that drop adown rocky passes; arid blend at last into the mighty river  floods arc Ibst in the fathomless sea. In the west, at eventide, hang masses of gray clouds, broken, unattractive, npifo which the attention does not linger; Mt to! the sun dips below the horizon, end straightway eaoh rugged mass is edg£d with burnished gold and overlaid with purple, crimson and a thousand nameiMs tints, so glorious and so lovely that the sotil stands entranced before the spectacle, filing no words adequate for its emotions. . No one has yet understood by whjtt laws,— and no doubt they are as  blc as any other,—these aerial ministers are governed. Thoy come from every direction, they wear shapes whose variety ts endless, they stoop to the crests of tie hills, or mount above the eagle's wing&to floods of unobecured light, and they tafte the rainbow's hues for their adorning.-*— Science may one day read aright tbatr mystic page of being, but till then  life is hidden with God, and we ponder their mission in our hearts. i It is but for a little while at longest, thpt God speaks through Nature to the human heart, aud shall He speak in vain t Shall the eloquent music of breeze and rill, add rushing rain, find no echo?

Management of a Household.— Young ladies, cut this out and pin in your bonnets:—"No yoUng woman ought to feel herself qualified to become a wife until she is sure she understands how to do the most that can bo done with her husband's money. The management of a household is not a thing tdibe properly and safely entrusted to hireling hands. A servant is a broken reed for the head of a family to lean upon. There are a thousaud little ways in which money must be expended, in which real shrewdness and enterprise arc requisite in Older to use it to the best advantage; and there are a thousand other ways of having money upon, only to those who have studied aright the art of economy. The Turkish proverb has it; that " a prudent woman is a mine of jewels," and, like many other Oriental sayings, this is beautiful for the truth it embodies. A wasteful housekeeper not only actually robs those for whom she undertakes to manage, of the comforts it is her duty to provide for them, but keeps her husband head over cars in debt, and makes the domestic life of a poor man a Continual series of experiments in shinning it from one day to the next; in keeping the stomach full, though the purse be empty.

It contains a variety of important facts, chiefly relating to the state of tome of the arts in Japan, which confirm and extend the information before received of that remarkable country. The report was drawn up by Mr. Ewbank, assisted by Messrs. Cotheul and Gaj'ani, who were the only members of the Society who bad an opportunity of a private interview with the scientific members of the Japanese Embassy. Efforts had been made by the Society, and by Captain Dupont, fur a general meeting; but the pressure of business prevented it. A list of questions had been drawn up, and a number of objects were to be exhibited to them, fur the purpose of ascertaining various facts of ethnologiovl interest. But only a portion of these Subjects were introduced, in tho single interview which was obtained.

The pump by which water is taken from the mines is aven of still greater interest, as viewed by the report, "since it is related to a great principle in natural philosophy, and one not understood in Europe till a little over two centuries ago. Previous to that timo, learned men could only account for water rising in a pump, by imagining that nature abhorred a vacuum, and therefore caused the water to rise and fill the vacuity left by the ascent of the sucker or piston. When found that the liquid would not follow the piston over 31 or 32 feat, Galileo himself oould only conclude that this -abhorrence was exhausted and ceased to act at that distance. His pupil, Torricclli, it is well known, guggested, and Pascal demonstrated, the cause of the phenomenon—the pressure of the atmosphere. As the common pump is known to be of remote, and believed to be of Asiatic origin, it is, in all probability, as old in Japan as the bellows, to which it is, in principle and construction, allied " Br.

LOVE, Improved Eait.road Iron . — The Phocnixville Iron Works have just completed arrangements for the manufacture of improved rails for the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad (Ja; three pairs of rollers have been made expressly for these rails, and the cost of their manufacture will be about 85 per ton more than the ordinary railroad iron. The top bar of tbo rail when in the pile is 7} inches wide, and two inches thick and is composed of re worked iron, very hard and compact; the other portion of the pile is made of fibrous iron, all re-worked. The top being seven inches wide and two inches thick, is suflMent to form the entire top cf the rail, when the pile is passed through the rollers to pat it in the desired shape, while it is so condensed and compact as to prevent scaling by the passage of cars over it. The neck and flange of the rail will be composed entirely of fibrous iron.—Record.

NEW Love and Money.—As for those suits for breaches of promise among young folks, where • love : is really supposed to exist, they arc always in bad taste. If a man refuses to marry, and acta meanly about it, he if a flt Btfbject for a brotherly flogging—tfcat's all. Nobody pities him, of course, and nobody vould object to seeing him suffer a heavy fine; bat to undertake to reoovcr the value of a heart, or a lost love, areues such a lovr view of marriage, and demonstrates so little damage really done, that the thiug becomes not only ridiculous but offensive. No high minded woman would touoh the lnoooy of* a man who had disoarded her, with a pair of tongs. When a woman undertakes to bind up a broken heart with bank notes and heal her wounded affections by tropical application of silver, she may be in a pitied condition, but there if no immediate danger of her dying. Not * bit of it. It is general the very best evidence that she is going to live a good while yet, and wants something to live on. On the Oth of June, at 10 o'clock a. in., ail the report informs us, "three members of the Committee called at the Metropolitan Hotel, to learn from Captain Dupont what time would be convenient to attend, and were surprised to hear that that was the hour ho had proposed, in a letter of the previous day, which had not been delivered by the postman. He then introduced them,- in a private loom, to Mr. Portman, the United 8tates interpreter; Matsmoto-Sannojo, the most learned member aud reputed historian of the Embassy ; Josida-8aC,osayemon and Tateish-Tokujuro. Mr. Portman soon withdrew; butTokujuro spoke English intelligibly, and was very quick of perception. The interview was animated an\l interesting. AMD The illustrated book above mentioned led to other interesting subjects. It is printed in colors by means of several blocks successively applied on the same pages.— This was evident in some places by the imperfect register, causing a slight displacement cf some of the Hues. This whs obvious also in soveral other illustrated works on Natural History, in possession of the President of the Society, presented to him while U. S. Minister ot the Hague. To the enquiry whether suoh books were rare in Japan, the reply was : " In muoh plenty;'' and the report of old travellers was confirmed, that the Japanese have what we call Encyclopaedia*,or Dictionaries of Artt, and many manuals of various branches of arts and manufactures, like that which was before the meeting. This, as the report says, is "certainly as fully illustrated as any tnodern French series, and at one-fifth of the cost, cheap as we may think the latter. The price of the pamphlet on copper mining and smelting wasDdcclared to be only 8 or 10 cents. "Ho far as regards the pro; duction of a cheap and useful literature," remarks the report, "Japan may be said to havo been centurios in advance of Europe."REMOVAL.—DR.

Adveetxsk.—The time has passed, for people to s\t quietly in their stores nnd trust to circumstances for customers. The aspect of business has becu entirely changed—the old land-marks have been removed, and new channels opened. People should not now sit quietly and gaze upon the dust gathering around their wares, but with becoming shrewdness place their pens on paper, enumerate their articles, and announce through the advertising columns of widely-circulated papers, the quality, of their articles, and where they may be found. Men of small capital, long since discovered this sure road to wealth, and he who does not follow in their wake, will find himself distanced.

The Committee were informed that in Japan, reading and writing are almost uni, versal; rudimental schools, with colleges and academies, are old institutions; books are continually issuing from the press, and ore printed and sold by the publishers. A censorship was established only about 50 years iince. They have the Chinese mode of printing, but it was much improved about 500 years ago. Their bookj are much cheaper than ours.
