lied to pv sent a written memorial, not accompanied by 
amarks. Mr. Loe observed, that there was a certain Eastern 
whose rules were so rigid us to insure the death of him 
who should appear bofnre him uncalled; but a woman came 
with « petition, and not only was his severity disarmed, but 
her request was granted, even to the hall of the kingdom. 
So would it be with the Senate, ho hoped. The motion to 
listen to Mrs. Severance was now agreed to, and tlio Ohio 
Senate gave the strictest attention to her reading, which oc- 
cupied about three-quarters of an hour. Her quiet manner, 
as well ns the force of the arguments and the happy manner 
of their presentation, evidently made a pleasant impression 
in behalf nf tho extension of womnn’s activities. After its 
readme, Senator Foot (of the same city with Mrs. Severance) 
moved Mint Iho memorial bo luld on the table and printed.

Turning the TAni.ES oh the Russians. — Our intelligence 
from Constantinople is dated the 6th instant. These advices 
inform us that three more English corn-laden vessels had 
arrived there from Odessa, each having six Russian guards on 
board, whose attempts to prevent their availing themselves of 
a favourable opportunity to escape from that port were happily 
frustrated. These eighteen Russian guards were safely lodged 
at Constantinople as prisoners of war. 
SAILORS’ WIVES. 
[FitoM TIIK Daily News.) 
Pin, — Wo hear and rood a vast deal about people subscribing 
sums of money for the relief nnd subsistence of the wives and 
children of soldiers, gnno nnd going to the wars, but not n word 
about tho wives and children of tho sailors— they, poor wretches, 
have none to ndvocafo in tlioir favour. Tho sailors aro gono upon 
tho sntno sorvicc, they loavo behind them wives nml families 
equally unprovided for, nnd surely they aro ns mnoli entitled to 
commiseration as nro tlioso of tho army. Will you, Mr. Editor, 
kindly edgo in a word in their behalf? The families of thoso 
gallant bluo jackets who are now gono away with Dundas and 
Nnpior, may surely expect from their countrymon — ay, and 
their couhlryvVomon too — quito ns much kindness and com- 
ni Dotation as aro now boing exhibited towards those more for- 
tunate females who aro connected with tho army. I am afraid 
tho sailors aro littloonrcd for, ns usual, hut perhaps a time may 
come, and that at no distant period, when their value will bo 
appreciated by their countrymon. 
I am, &o., An Oi,i> Bt.uB Jacket. 
Sin, — As a clergyman, 1 am directed to offer u certain service 
in my church next Wednesday, and it is suggested that I should 
draw Iho attention of my congregation to iho destitute state of 
Iho wives nnd families of soldiers now on duty iu the E:ist. Why 
is nut a word to tic said about sailors’ wives and families? You 
know they ltavc both, iu a far larger proportion titan heretofore, 
and tlio oousl- guardsmen nearly to a man. This question was re- 
peatedly put to mo nt Portsmouth by sailors, when I was lately 
there snatching an interview with a midshipman son just sailing 
to tho Baltic. 
Will you put this “question” before the publio in any sliapo 
you think best. I know I shall encourage the liberality of my 
hearers in favour of both services ; nnd with due reaped to our 
gallant troops, tlioir exertions in tho coming contest can bo ns 
nothing to the deeds England expccla from her bluejackets. — I

religion and morality (or immorality), under tho guidance of ono 
of the Latterday Saints, who has been on a missionary tour to

There is no main crank -shaft connecting tho two paddle-wheels,

This arrangement enubles tho boat to bo steered with greater

of tlio river. The framework and outer bearings of tho padulc- 
whcels nro supported by suspension rods, which are, ns it were,

ill the centre of the vessel. The main neck is 230 feet long, am 
58 feet wide. Tho paddles are '38 feet in diameter, having 24 
floats 12 feet wide by 28 inches in depth. For shallow rivers 
(int-boltoinod steamers propelled by a paddle-wheel at the stern 
are commonly used. Two built of iron in New York, drawing
