She has 540 state-rooms, 30 family state rooms, 4 large club rooms, one elegant and spacious bridal chamber, two large ladies’ dressing-rooms, and a noble fore-and-aft large saloon I20 feet long’; the state-rooms are in three tiers. The great mass of this noble steamboat, when dashing through the water, has an effect upon the mind like witnessing the Falls of Niagara—that of admiration and awe.

A writer in the Na York Herald, who was one of-the»-exeursioniats on’ the late Telegraph expedition to Newfoundland. thus expatiates on the dogs of that uninvit- iig country:

" Any one who has ever visited St. Jbhns must have observed the large number ot"N'cwlbund'land. dogs, with which its streets are beset. You meet them wherever you .tsra; they-lis across the pathway, and rsoinetiiaes make their bed in the middle of the road: the stand like sentinels at every 300". Ind alt ough they never dispute your passage, they look at you with an inqui- ring gaze, as ifthey desired to know your business. In winter they are employed by the poor in drawing wood in sledg_es,. for which they seem peculiarly adapted by their stiength and docility. Dr. Kane too twenty of them with him, on leaving St. Johns, as they are said to be as ood, if not better, than the Esquimaux ‘ogs, in making journeys over the ice. A perfect dog mania broke out among our company, and an extensive trade in pups was opened with the natives. Every person seemed

quence was, that we had about as many dogs on our return, as passengers. Dogs of all sizes and ages, from a month to three years old, were carried elf unresisting vio- tims into. exile. Whatever doubt there inightbe as to the purity of the breed, there could be no dispute, as to their being Newfoundland dogs, and with many, that seemed to be suflicient. Two ofmy friends bmight a pair ofthem, twins, and named them Telegraph and Cable, in their enthu- siasm for the great enterprise. The pure breed, it is said, is fast becoming extinct in St; John's; but ,ifI should judge from the‘ large number of 9‘ liill‘ bloods” that were shown to me, I should be strongly inclined to doubt the_.truth of that statement. ..__g.._._

Divers trades were going on in different parts of it; in in one corner a man was ﬁnishing a pair of harness; in another, the runners of a sletige were receiving the peculiar curve that distinguishes them in Finland; and a number of lasses, with their shoulders troubled with very little clothing, were keeping half-a-dozen spinning-wheels in constant motion.

new voiut our our or warm.

Some three hundred persons liitve adver- tised through The Tribune during the last week for chances to earn an honest liveli- hood by downright useful labor, while not ﬁfty in all have advertised during this term that they wish to hire in any capacity. Among the three hundred are Gardeners, Governcsses. Servants, Laborers, and otliers—innny nfthcm, doubtless. Of decided ability and energy. Supposing those who advertise through our other City joupnuls to average half so many to each, at east Twenty-live hundred persons have adver- tised in our City within aweek past, that they want a chance to work for bread, with- out tnking into account the hundreds who are trying to exist by copying, teaching tnn_sic, or some other of the factilious, capricious. pursuits which virtually insure starvation to those who rely on them. The number who are out of work here and- anxiously desire to be employed, but who lack means for or faith in advertising, is probably three times as great; so that not less than Ten Thousand capable and worthy men and women, living or staying within three miles of us, are anxiously seeking something to do, while there, are not one-sixth so many to-day required within the same radius, in addition to those actually at work.

And this, be it observed, is at the begin- ning of Autumn, when trade is brisk in our City, the great hotels full of country mer- chants, and everything outwardly‘ prosper- ous. Two aioaths hence, the all busi- ness will be over, the hotels comparatively‘ empty, many clerlts and porters discharged from their present places, buildin almost at a stand, and nearly every br__-anc of City Industry paralyzed or greatly restricted. Just about that time, the farmers around us will have ﬁnished harvesting their latest crops and turned off a part of their laborers, who, ﬁnding no further employment in the country, will crowd into the City in despe- rate quest of something to do. A lbw of them will ﬁnd it: some will live on the sav-ings ofthe milder reason: the great ma- jority will hover around our soup-kitchens or come to anchor in the Alrns-House he- forc Christmas, remaining a burden on our citizens till the ensuing Spring. Such is the prospect now before us; in the face of which, hundreds are weekly ﬂocking hither

The I-‘rec-traders tell us that Protection is needless—tliat we can produce Cloths under Free-trade, if our capitalists will be satisﬁed with ordinary proﬁts. But this day a majority of the Woollen Mills in chi. country stand idle because they can only be run at a loss. If they would pay even one per cent. the owners would prefer to run them rather than have them stand idle; yet idle they are. Does any one believe them only_ standing out for inordinate pro- ﬁts? They can be bought for less than half their. prime cost. Why don’t the Free- traders, who say no Protection is needed. just buy them and set them in motion again? lfthey could be made to pay ﬁve per cent. (it their ﬁrst cost, they might be bought so as to make it too on their present valuation; aid that, surely, is it handsome roﬁt. Why is it, then, that the opulent ‘ree- traders who abound among us do not buy in: this machinery and set’ the dischar ed operatives at work again? Food is a- coming cheap; Labor is low enough and

might be set in motion in a month; and there is need enouglt-ofthe products, ifour laborers could have work tvherewitb to pay for them. Why is it, then, that our rich Fbce-traders do not buy up the idle mills and start them, but that the protease that Protection is needless is a conscious and wiltul delusion?

;Aa'riricu. Eras.--The following scraps of information _as to the employment of agtiﬁcial eyes which we have acquired in watching the practice at the Royal Ophthal- mic Hospital, may be welcome to some of our readers. The success in the deception as to‘ appearance is generally most cots late. Several very pleasing cases have lPallei_i under our notice, in which a glass eye, by hiding a loathsome defol-mity,and restoring personal nppearence, became the means of ¢lf°¢¢iIIg a complete revolution in the worldly prospects ofthe wearer. In order to complete success, it is very desirable thntthe substitute eye should niovs well. This, however, is not essential, as should the two eyes not move equally, the on- ly defect suggested to the casual observer is that of a slight squint. 'l‘o secure the movements ofthe artiﬁcial organ, the nat- ural globe, in its collapsed state, should, if possible, be retained in order to serve as a

from all parts ofthe country, or writing to one or another, to inquire, if places cannot be found or made for them.

ltis very common to attribute this dearth of employment to the influx of Foreign‘ Im- migrants; but the immigration of this year has been far below that of either ofthe two‘ or three preceding, and we do not ﬁnd the chances of Labor thereby materially im- proved. In fact, we believe it exceedingly questionable that a complete stop to immi- gration would improve the chances of those already here for employment. For these

immigrants require houses, furniture, feod,j

clothing, its well as work: they create em- ployment as well as seek it: many of them bring considerable capital, and nearly all of them are blessed with good appetites.

ad twice as many landed this year as

ave done, we believe the number now seeking work would not have been materi- ally increased.

There are many causes for the enormous, almost constant, dearth of employment among us, especially in \‘Vintcr; but fore- most among them we deem the fhtnl impo- licy which dooms us to buy so large a por- tion ofthe VVnres and Falirics of Europe. \Vere we only niakin thc Clotlis, the Me- tnls, the Fancy Goods, that we are con- stantly importing, the tens oftliousiinds now and always vainly seeking employment might be steadily and usefully tit work.

tit so long as we continue to itiiport two- thirds of the Fabrics and one-half the Metals we require, we shall have unwilling idleness in our tentuit-linuscs and fnmisliing beggiiry in our streets.

id any one ever hear of it Nation of Twenty-live Millions which im ortcd the greater part of its Clothing, anti yet pros- pered? How can we expect to have work for our laborers all the year round, while we dcvotc oiirsclvcs to the Siunmer busi- ness of grnwiiig l"ood and buy nliroutl the \\'iircs and Fabrics that may as well he made in Winter.’ And linw lon shall we be content to out up in VVintcr n l the env- ings of Summer?

Even with careful patients the artiﬁcial eye generally requires to be renewed, or at least re-enamelled once a year. it becomes ceatod at the back by concretinns from the tears, and then so irritating that its disuse becomes necessary. To obviate this inconvenience, patients should always remove them at night, and have them carefully washed; they should also, if convenient, lay them aside for nfew days whenever the cyo becomes irritated, or ll greater teiideucy to deposit is observed than usual. Among the poor, this liability to ‘soon become unwearable is a serious objection to their use. Some surgeons have, indeed, almost ceased to recommend them to their hospital patients on this account, reserving their employment for cases in which the sufferer appears more than usual- ly intelligent. and likely to succeed in the inangonicnt. Mr. Gray (of Goswell street) the maker of nrtiticinl eyes to the Ophthal- mic _H_ospitnl, informed us, in answer to ln(|ll‘Il'l(‘l on this head, that he thought an artificial eye might, with ordinary care, be kept in it good state at a cost of about three dollars and ﬁlly cents a year.
