'] CITY OF EOCHE3TEE. 
I The following notes upon our city arc 
< from the pen of Horace Greeley, editor 
^ of the N. Y. Tribune: 
) 
!' “ Rochester, the metropolis of the Gene- 
S see country shows unmistJikeablc evidences 
of intellectual as w'ell as physical thrift. A 
} new lecture room has recently been opened 
I in her centre, which is one of the very finest 
') in America, seating.J,oOO peirsons Ciusily, and 
< affording room for 200 more. Its lofty ceil- 
\ ing, admirably lighting, fair ventillation, and 
^ thorough adaptation to speaking and hcar- 
^ ing are unsurpa.ssed; it needs only more lib- 
, eral facilities for ingress and egress, to ren- 
' der it perfect. It was erected by one of her 
public spirited citizens; but even such citi- 
zens do not adventure such outlays where* 
' there is not an answering public spirit 
; to sustain and justify-them. Closely con- 
, nected with this hall arc the Law Library 
and also the Mechanics’ Reading Room and 
Library, the benefits of which may be en¬ 
joyed by any resident of Rochester on the 
pavrnent of $1 per annum. California has 
few gold mines which would so ■well repay 
exploring as this. A new court house is 
about to be built, with a room for a La-w 
Libraiy, and the propriety is urged of devo¬ 
ting alike room to a Mechanics’ and Citizens’ 
Exhibition Room of models, drawings, books, 
(fee., illustrative of the Useful Arts, the His¬ 
tory of Invention, <fec., &c. We trust this 
idea will not be unfruitful—Rochester is 
the most rej)ublican city of our State — the 
least pampered by distinctions of class or 
prejudices of sect. We look with hope to 
her intelligent citizens for some active, prac¬ 
tical sympathy Anth the great ideas of the 
age looking to the establishment of more in¬ 
timate and fraternal relations between capi¬ 
tal and labor, and shall be disappointed if 
compelled to look long. Rochester, long- 
crippled in her Avater poAver during the dry 
season by the absorption of the Avaters of 
the Genesee in replacing the evaporation and , 
waste of the Erie Canal, is soon to be sig¬ 
nally and permanently relieved by the neAv 
AV'orks at and near Lockport, ensuring an 1 
ample supply of Avater from Lake Erie for j 
the Avhole Canal as far east as Syracuse. i 
^ Another New Light.—P rof. Grant, of Now < 
York, claims to have discovered a new method 
of obtaining an inflammable gas from the nitrate < 
cf soda, which will furnish light at a rate of ex- j 
ponso infinitely less than that incurred by the use , 
of gas for the same purpose. The city of Now ] 
York, the Professor says, may be lighted on the c 
plan which ho proposes, for one five-thousandth 
part of the present expense. The principal ma¬ 
terial used can be obtained in any quantity in ' 
South America, and the residium of the soda is 1 
more valuable than the article in its natural state. ^ 
A light is furnished by the Professor to a locomo- ® 
live on the Philadelphia railroad, by which the ^ 
engineer is enabled to see objects three quarters 
of a mile distant, and can distingui.sh the switch- t 
polo when it is half a mile in advance. ■ This ti 
light was burned four nights at an expense of tl 
twenty-five cents. The question arises whether tl 
this would pay for the labor of manufacture.— p 
One thousand feet of gas, at the rate proposed by 
Prof. G. would coat four-fifths of a mill. The 
subject was referred to a committee to examine 
and report upon the alleged discovery. Thecom- r 
miltoe declined to make any report upon the ques- , 
tion, because Prof. G, was one of the committee, ’ 
and it would be “indelicate” for them testate 
their opinion. The Professor replied to this that b 
his light would make its own way clear, and he ii 
asked no odds of them.— Dem. a

A now invention for the propulsion of steam¬ 
boats, by tho application of power to the stern, 
has been successfully tested in Philadelphia. It 
is called the “single blade propeller,” and w’as 
invented by Mr. Alexander Bond, of Philadelphia 
Tho principal is that of the “scull.” The pro¬ 
peller is said to be peculiarly applicable to canal 
navigation, inasmuch as three feet of water, the 
inventor contends, are sufficient entirely to sub¬ 
merge the propeller of a three hundred ton boat, 
and, at the same time, to afford ample resistance 
to obtain a speed of eight miles an hour, while the 
whole propelling surface is contained in a single 
blade, thus insuring tho most perfect resistance 
from the water with the least possible amount of 
surface. It is contended that its economy in the 
cost of construction, by the substitution of a sim¬ 
ple blade for the cumbrous and expensive wheel 
hitherto used, must eventually overcome the prin¬ 
cipal obstacles to tho successful navigation of ca¬ 
nals by steam. 
Catholicism. —The first Catholic Church in N. 
Y'’ork city (the second in the State,) was opened in 
1786; the eighteenth and nineteenth were opened 
in 1849. “The Truth Teller” estimates tho 
present Catholic population of that city at 100,000. 
The “Catholic Almanac for 1850,’’ says there 
are now* in the United States, 3 Archbishops, 24 
bishops, 1,081 priests, and 1,078 churches—an in¬ 
crease of one bishop and 105 priests within the past 
vear. Of these priests, 52 w'ere ordained in tho 
United States. If California and New Mexico he 
included, the Catholic priests are 1,141, and the 
churches 1,1.33. The Catholic population of the 
Union is estimated at 1,473,350, or if Upper Cali¬ 
fornia and New Mexico be included, at 1,523,350. 
France and the Arabs.— A foreign letter says 
that “ the F''rench are gaining ground against the* 
Arabs, hut at a fearful cost of blood. These de- 
lend them.selvos and their country bravely, dying 
hut not surrendering. Eight luiudred of them' had 
retreated to an oasis, where tliey fought until the 
last man was killed. Literally there was not one 
left to tell the tale. Tliis heats Thermopyla;, from 
which there was one fugitive.” 
An Indian State. —The Clierokcc Indians, it 
is said, design to apply for admission into the Un¬ 
ion in a few years; and with that view they are 
exceedingly anxious to compete with the whites in 
all kinds of improA'cmonts. 
Several cases of cholera occurred in this 
city during tho past week, some of which, we learn 
have terminated fatally. In every instance com¬ 
ing to our knowledge, the victims were emigrants, 
freshly arriv’ed from Europe, who had enjoyed 
their ordinary good health up to the time of dis¬ 
embarking at this port.—Si. Louis hit., 3th. 
We learn from the Utica Daily Oh.scrvcr, 
that Commis-sioner F''olIett lias been 'assigned to 
the Eastern Division of the Canals. This includes 
the FIrie Canal east of the Oneida Creek Feeder, 
tho Oneida Lake, the Black River, and the Cham- 
plaign Canals. 
2;^“ At Cincinnati, a few days since, a gentle¬ 
man residing in Boone county, Ky., lost one thou¬ 
sand dollars, in bank hills, on the steamer F’ashion. 
Fie carelessly pulled out his pocket book on the 
hurricane deck, and the bills blew overboard.
