In the rear of the Institute, at tho distance of one hundred feet, arc threo othor oottages, some eighty feet apart. One of those Is tho laundry, with a hydrant at tho door; thn othor two are occupied by the servants. The hydrant water is Introduced Into these cottages as well as into the main building, and all the waste water carried off by drains under ground.

AMERICAN TELEGRAPH of American Portsmouth, Not.

7, 1851. (1 ENTi.iiMtN Mr. (Jliarle? 11. Hock well, the Commissioner of Customs, arrived in Norfolk some Jays since from Washington. Ilis business, I am informed, is to investigate, to the bottom, certain charges or complaints that havo been made to the Secretary of the Treasury, hearing heavily on the Collector at Norfolk.

Grout dissatisfaction has existed among a largo number of Col. Gurnet'a political and personal friends from tho commencement of his official duties, and much crimination and recrimination has been produoed therefrom. However, wo shall soon know, I presume, where the fault litw, and whether it is from prejudice engendered by being disappointed in their political aspirations that these men have made bo much." noise and confusion" both here and in Washington. The Transcript, of our is, by the way, one of the most popular sheets published in this section of Virginia, and deserving of a more liberal patronage than is now awarded it for the untiring efforts of its proprietor to cater for the public with all the latest delicacies furnished by tho mails, or that can be obtained through other received and laid before its readers, in a letter from its able, knowing, and ready Washington correspondent, Crystal," the cheering tidings that the skies are brightening over our mechanics and others employed in the Gosport yard; and that ere long tho Navy Department will show, in a tangible form, that the situation of our workingmen, whose services they have been ever able to command, either by night or day, when nocessary for the promotion of government interests, is known, and that they arc to be provided with work to sustain them during the winter. This, to them and the rest of the community, is nows of the most cheering character, which can only be enhanced by its speedy realization.

If, as tho Transcript's correspondent intimates, any thing "good hus come out of Israel," and that my humble but truthtul remarks in the Telegraph have in any way influenced the department, and contributed to this most desired result, I shall ever feel proud that, through your noble paper, means has been afforded me of contributing my mite to enhance tho interests and promote the welfare of the deserving me- I chanic8 and workingmen of this place. And with Crystal," let me hope that ere long the decided stand taken by yourselves in favor of this community and its naval in your spicy, saucy, and fearless sheet," will cause Boushe's" periodical counter to groan under the weight of the Telegraph, forwarded to the direction of those who, by giving it their patronage, manifest a determination to sustain those who are foremost in promoting their wellfare. The fair at Oxford Hall, gotten up to liquidate the debt of St. John's Episcopal (Low) Church, by the ladies, closed to-night with a grand entertoinmeutby Wyraan, tho great mngician, who I kindly volunteered this performance as a gratuitous offering to the cause they have been so zealously and successfully promoting with their time and means for the last week. A very large audience were present, to witness the perfect manner in which he does up things, and how perfectly he sets at defiance all successful competition.

His performances will be continued through the ensuing week at this spacious hull, after which he will entertain the Norfolk city folks with a little of his magic, interspersed with his surprising powers of ventriloquism, at Mechanics' Hall, in that city. We are getting to be, you will say, a great commercial people down here, when I inform you that we have two large barks and two large schooners at our wharves, loading with staves, timber, shucks, for foreign ports. This looks like business; and with a leetle more enterprise, and a few more enterprising men, we may yet come out of the bogs of sloth and despondency.

Much animation seems to prevail among the rank and file of both parties, and the knowing ones are already engaged in counting noses, preparatory to the contest on the 8th of December. Yours, Nadel. Mb. Walsh oh the French his last letter from Paris, to the Journal of Commerce, Mr. Robert writes Louis Napoleou's game is one of the most dimcult that can be imagined, lie cannot repose the least confidence in the monarchical juntos; the moderate republicans have no confidence in him; no disposition to promote his assumed destinies; ant Cesar ant nulius, is his real situation the ited Republicans and Socialists would scarcely consent to use him as an instrument.

He must move or chop round according to the tactics or manoeuvres, joint or several, of his indefatigable enemies. No military commander, beset on all sides, ever needed more skill, vigilance and decision in strategy. Louis Napoleon does not act from passion he seems at times to yield to sudden impulses; but we may suppose that, in fact, he calculates and deliberates BuiUbly to his outward character and demeanor, and to the exigencies of each campaign. A Moonlight Balloon 1 aris paper, of the 14th ult, gives an entertaining log-book of an aerial voyage recently performed by M. Eugene Godard and a half doien coinI panions, on a brilliant moonlight night.

M. Godard was endeavoring to demonstrate Ins ability to Bteer the atmospheric ship as conveniently as one riding the water, and appears to have succeeded to a charm. He passed from one point of Paris and its environs to another, picking up his passengers, and stated, when he finally arose, to what points in the department he proposed to travel, and fulfilled his promises with wonderful exactness. When passing over i Clichy, at an immense height, the scene is de! scribed as one of fairy-like beauty. The moon wss on tho horizon; the from cloud or vapor, glittered wi below, the different streets ftnd boulevards of Paris wero distinctly protracted in long lines of light.

After voyaging for some hours, the bal loon descended at Gargcs, and the traveled cosily and safely upon terra firma back to the city. i A Chanch for tub Smith, 1 the English novelist, intends to mil this country in a shprt Koaautlt. The Tributte of yesterday says: "A gentleman who has conversed with Capt. of the Mississippi, us tliat the aptuin had no such difficulty with Kossuth as has been reported, aud expresses l'or the great Huuguriun the highest esteem and regard. The reports were set on foot by the enemies of the Hungarians in franco." The telegraphic despatches to all our papers contaiu similar statements.

We quote from the Baltimore Sun It is understood that Capt. Long and the officers of the Mississippi disavow entirely the reports so widely circulated of differences betweeu them and the Hungarians. Kossuth, iu his letter, expresses great gratitude for the uniform kindness he has experienced on board the The letter alluded to is to the Mayor of New ork. In it he states that business of the most urgent nature compelled him to visit England, and he considered it best that the steamer should not be delayed on his account. He further states that he certainly will leave Liverpool for New York iu the steamer of the 8th iust.

He thanks the people of Now York, through their Mayor, for the groat kindness they have expressed with regard to him. I'rom the I-on don Daily Oct Visit of Mr. Ltwriuec to Kossuth. Southampton, Monday. The principal topic of conversation hero today is the wonderful speech of M.

Kossuth ut the Mayor of Southampton's. The mode of delivery, the matter, aud the excellcnce of the English, are equally the subjects of complimentary comment; aud the general impression is that the most remarkable man of the century has come amoug us. His wonderful powur of influencing men's minds is illustrated by the revulsion of feeling which the moderation of his sentiments has produced among tho intelligent large and influential section of the town population. They had expected a red republican, or something of that sort, and are quite in ecstacies at finding a man who utters the most constitutional sentiments, and who only seeks to restore institutions eight hundred years old. The demand for tickets for the banquet has risen to an unprecedented extcut, and the dimensions of the room arc compluined of as insufficient for the occasion.

Mr. Lawrence, the American Minister, has arrived at Mr. Deacon's, the town clerk's, accompanied by another distinguished American, Mr. Walker, late Secretary to the States' Treasnry. Tho public will recollect this gentleman, from the eulogium of Sir llobert l'eel, thut he was one of tho ablest men in America." the London Morning ICoaautli'a Private Vtatt to London.

Southampton, Monday. The continual excitement which Kossuth lived in from his landing on Thursday to the dejeuner at the Mayor of Southampton's, had begun to tell upon the health of the exile, not yet quite recovered from the effects of the sea voyage. Tho remainder of that day and tho Sunday were spent in seclusion, with tho excoption that he went, accompanied by tho mayor, to attend morning service in the cathedral of Winchester. It was not generally known that he intended to be present, and by way of avoiding any thing like excitement, the mayor and he walked quietly down by the back streets. Sevoral visiters called upon him in the course of tho day, but the state of his health permitted him to see only a few.

This morning he proceeded up to London by an early train to join Madame Kossuth and his family in London. They arc all expected back to-morrow, and are to take up their residence for the day with Mr. Croskey, the American consul. Another object of his journey to town is to consult with an eminent physician on the stale of his health, which, as we have already indicated, i'j in rather a delicate slate. With reference to the report that has been circulated some time since, that the Austrian Minister had threatened to demand his ports if our Foreign Minister should grant Kossuth an interview, there is a curious story current here, and stated, too, on no mean authority, that Lord Dudley Stuart has been authorized to assure Kossuth that Lord Palmerston would grant him nn interview of an unofficial character if lie desirod it; and that, so far as his lordship was personally concerned, he was rather anxious to see him than otherwise.

Mr. Cobden returned to town on Saturday evening, but is expected to return to-morrow for tho banquet. Mr. Abbott Lawrence, the American Minister, is also expected, and Mr. Walker, late Secretary to the United States Treasury.

Mr. Lawrence has accepted the invitation of Mr. Deacon, the town clerk of Southampton, to take up his residence during his stay in Southampton at bis house. Iteyond the names of Lord Dudley Stuart and Mr. Cobden, wc do not hear of any other distinguished Englishmen who aro to join in this demonstration.

The popular feeling here in favor of the Hungarian is very strong and even the Conservative party in the borough, who were at first disposed to stand aloof, and look askance on the Hungarian chief, have been almost completely won over by his speeches, and are now as enthusiastic in the popular demonstrations as any of their fellow-townsmen. An interesting incident occurred at the mayor's residence on Friday. Two of jewels belonging to Mad. Kossuth had been lost during the insurrectionary war in Hungary, and were given up as lost. Itseemed, however, that somehow or other they had been recovered by Madame Pulzsky, who on Friday had the gratification of restoring them to their right owner.

The jewels, it is said, are worth from 3,000 to A Grand Abch.volooioai. Yon Humboldt publishes, in the (Jasette de. Spener, some particulars of his interesting discovery at Athens, of the Council Chamber where the Five Hundred held their deliberations. At a depth of one foot below the surface he had come upon a large mass of inscriptions, columns, statnes, which forbid a doubt that there had been the seat of that building. Tho explorations have not gone on as rapidly as they might, on account of the expense.

There is little doubt, however, that the discovery is of extraordinary importance. Jrnny Lino, during her present visit to Cincinnati, gave her concerts in the Melodeon, which contained only seven hundred persons. I All the tickets for both concerts wore sold at I prices ranging frgia $2 to $4, BjC VOLUTION All Movhmkvt IN ElKOM We learn from the New York fxpru, that a bold nnd determined step hasjust been taken by Maxziui acknowledged heads of the so-called repnblioan party of issuing a proclamation which opeu warning of general revolution in Europe. 1 his proclamation, which ia signed by Ginseppe, Mazzini, A. Satti, and M.

Monteiphi, is dated at ixmdon, Sept. 30th, and was published in a journul at Genoa, Oct. being the only place, they say, in which the printing press is fVee. It calls upon Italians to be prepared for a simultaneous insurrection, and prescribes tlio principles and rules of prooeeding in the first stages of tho movement; Btateg that a society called the "Friends of Liberty" has been founded in England, to collect contributions and to promote triumph by the presR, public meetings, parliamentary action, and all other conscientious means. TUe Study of the Scriptures.

Messrs. Editous: I am a Bible-class instructor, and the class which I instruct desire to study the book of Genesis; and, as there is no suitable question-book upon this portion of Scripture accessible by them, it occurred to me to make your useful paper the medium of placing before the members of the class, from week to week, as they may be needed, a series of questions designed to elicit inquiry into the meaning of the sacred text. If you will permit me to do so, it will not ocoupy much space, and may be of use, not only to my class, but to others engaged in the study of the same portion of Scripture. QUESTIONS ON C1ENES1S.

Wasiiikutonians in CauroaNi Waahingtau correspondent of the Baltimore Clipper has the following information in regard to members of the Washington and California Mining Association, most or all of whoso members were formerly citizens of this place: Messrs. J. V. Bonn, L.

A. Iardella, and T. A Provost, of this city, have just returned home from California.

None of the adventurers have made fortunce. Fastidious amusing little incident occurred at the Wright House last evening. A verdant-looking chap sat down to take "some fillin, as Joe Lawson would say, and in due time a waiter presented himself at the back of our hero's chair, and inquired: Tea or coffee, sir?" "Tea," he answered. What kind of tea Greeny looked up in the waiter's face, and, with considerable emphasis, said, Why tlorttea, of course; I don't want your blamed sassafras Journal. Too Many booksellers say that publications of books, within the last few years, succeed each other with such rapidity that the best works have much less chance of obtaining a permanent reputation than formerly.

The books of this season are immediately pushed aside by the good books of the next. They are like pretty women passing by us in a great crowd; we do not see them long enough to fall in lore with York Evening Pott. A writer, in describing the last scene in Othello, has this exquisite passage: "Upon which the Moor, seizing a bolster faU of ragt andjtalouty, mothers her.".
