THE DAILY SPY. We this day, present the public with the first number of the Daily Spy. For near two years past, a portion of our friends have urged upon us the commence commencement - ment commencement of a daily paper, in the belief that file business of the town required such an accommodation, and that the population was such as would afford it an adequate sup support. - port. support. On the latter point we differed with them in opin opinion, - ion, opinion, and, it was not till the passage of the new post office law, that we were prepared to yield to their suggestions. But, upon the passage of that law, we concluded to try the experiment, and communicated to some of our friends our intention so to do, at as early a day as should be Convenient, after the law should go into effect. In accordance w ith that determination, we now enter upon the experiment. We enter upon it, w ith a determi determination, - nation, determination, that, if it do not succeed, the fault shall not be ours. All reasonable and proper exertions to secure the permanence of our new bantling shall lie made. For the rest, we must trust to the public - to that public, which we have labored so diligently, for more than twen twenty - ty twenty years, lo serve, and from which, we have received so many and long continued proofs, that our efforts to satis- ititui irate nut dclti tit vam. mi utc lacnMiis »»*t iu iutroducing - troducing iutroducing and circulating the papers of Boston and New York, and with eight newspapers, already existing in this place, we could not, of course, think of the present un undertaking, - dertaking, undertaking, with any expectation of sustaining it by the patronage of this town alone, nor indeed without the hope that a very considerable portion of its support should come from other portions of the county. Neither should we think of it as a distinct and separate concern. But, in connection w ith a well established weekly paper, of extensive circulation, the daily can be sustained with an amount ofpatronage much less than would be absolutely necessary for its support, if it were not thus connected. With this advantage, and the additional one of being able to circulate it, free of expense for a circuit of thirty miles, so that all the towns w ithin that distance may be accommodated, cm as good terms as those of this village, we hope to keep it along, till the increased business and population of our town and of the adjacent country shall |ecure to it a liberal and adequate support.

A hundred delicious pictures glided under my eve in our rapid flight, but I saw one that I wish Mount the artist could have seen - thirty or forfy haymakers, men and women, eating their dinner upon the edge of a stream, the field half-mown on which they had been working, and the other half completely scarlet with the poppies that over overshadowed - shadowed overshadowed the grass. A thicket behind them, a other features, made the mere rural scene larly beautiful, but the acres of this scarlet flow flower, - er, flower, gave it somehow a peculiar and racy mildness. The farmer has no great affection for this brilliant intruder upon his land, but the owner of the splendid park, and the scenery-loving traveller look on its novel addition to Nature's carpet with very vivid admiration. On my return I saw an instance of the English -surliness so much talked of, and (I think) so sel seldom - dom seldom seen. A remarkably elegant and high-bred looking lady was separated from her party by* want of room in the car before us, and on getting into ours, she found herself opposite a manifest aristocrat of sixty. Thinking she recognized an acquaintance in him, she leaned forward with a charming grace of manner and said "Mr. I believe ?" "Not my name, madam !" was the reply in gruff repulsion, and the gentleman turn ed and looked very steadfastly out of the window. The English have a new way of advertising that is well worthy of Yankee invention. They have hit upon the time when men's minds are idle - (when they are abroad in the street) - and you cannot walk now in London without knowing what amusements are going on, what new speci specifies - fies specifies are for sale, what is the last wonder, and a va variety - riety variety ot other matters which send you home wiser than you came out. Mammoth placards, pasted on the side oi a structure as large as a one story house, are continually moving along on wheels at the same pace as you walk,the streets really resem resembling - bling resembling a gorgeous pageant with the number and ' showiness of these legible locomotives. I ob serve one, particularly which moves by some mysterious power within - a large, showy car making its way without either horse or visible ri rider, - der, rider, and covered with advertisements in all the colors of the rainbow. An every day sight is a procession ol a dozen men, each carrying on a high pole, exactly the same theatrical notice. - You might let one pass unread, but you read them where there are so many, to see ii they are all alike ! Men step up to you at every corner, hand you, with a very polite air, a neatly folded paper, and you cannot refuse it without pushing your hand against the man's hand. It you open it you are told where you can see a "mysterious lady," or where you can have your cornscut. In short, it is impossible to be ignorant of what there is to see and buy in London, and this applies also to the large class, who could not, formerly he reached, because they never read the advertise advertisements - ments advertisements in newspapers. R. W. Emerson, speaking of the southern slaves, in a recent speech said : 1 heir fate now, as tar as it depends on circum circumstances, - stances, circumstances, depends on the raising of their masters. 1 he masters are ambitious of culture and civility Elevate, enlighten, civilize the semi-barbarous nations ot South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama : take away from their debauched society the bow bowle - le bowle knile, the rum-bowl, the dice-box, and the stews; take out the brute, and infuse a drop of civihty and generosity, and you touch those sel selfish - fish selfish lonls with thought and gentleness. Instead u J oc keys, duellists and peacocks, you shall have a race of decent and lawful men, in incapacitated - capacitated incapacitated to hold slaves and eager to give them liberty, 6 s Candid Enough.

Patent Action Piano Fortes, r subscriber has just received the Agency for the sale I of LEMUEL GILBERT'S PATENT ACTION PIANO FORTES, for the quality of which he can speak without hesitation. The superiority ol these instruments over oth others - ers others consists in an improvement in the action (for which a patent has been secured) by which great power and beauty of tone as well as quickness, elasticity, and delicacy of touch are obtained : at the same time it prevents the liability to get out of order, and thus overcomes the objection to the action of those now in seueral use.

WILLIS'S LETTERS FROM EUROPE. Extract from Number Four, in the N. Y. Eve. Mirror. Power's statue of the "Greek slave" is one of the topics of London at this moment, and, in my opinion, if it fare as well as to preservation, as ti e Yenus de Medicis, it will be more admired than that first marble oi the world, when London shail be what Rome is now. Power should he idolized bj woman tor the divine type of her. by which he has now elevated man's ideal of her sex. That so w onderfully beautiful a thing can be true to nature - that this divine mould is unquestionably like some woman - is a conviction that must strike every beholder, at the same time that it makes him thank God that he is born one of this "kind " and makes him adore woman more intensely than before. This Greek slave stands for sale in the Turkish bazaar. Her dress hangs over the pillar against which she leans, and she is nude with the exception of the chain hung from wrist to wrist It is a girl of eighteen, of beauty just perfected' A particular criticism of the figure and limbs would hardly be interesting to those who are net lo see the statue, and I can only speak of the ex expression - pression expression of the face, which is one that gives the nude figure a complete character of purity - a look of calm and lofty indignation, wholly iimara ble of willing submission to her captors. Pow er has secured by this work, I fancy, commissions enough for new works to fully occupy his time. It was bought by an Englishman who' has been offered four times the sum lor it. My trip to the country was made by the Great Western Railroad, which is the most complete in its arrangements, and sends the fastest trains two every day going their routes at the rate of sixty miles in the hour ! The scenery in this direction from London is exceedingly fine. Windsor Cat Cattle - tle Cattle lying on the left of the track, among other ob objects - jects objects ofinterest, and Reading, the fine old town, honored as the residence of Miss Mitford. Noth Nothing - ing Nothing in America can give you any idea of the ex expensive - pensive expensive elegance and completeness of the rail road stations, its hedgings-in, and its arrangements of all kinds. Every foot of the route is watched by a guard in uniform, and no human being ex except - cept except workmen is ever seen within its limits. At every stopping-place, the cars glide into spacious buildings, with magnificent refreshment rooms, costly offices, and attendants in the lettered dress of the company's men. The system for admitting and discharging passengers is admirably complete, the delay is but an instant, yet sufficient for all purposes, and I should think ingenuity and order could no further go.
Northampton, Aug. s. - The Weather. - The drought hereabouts is really distressing. The earth is like ashes, the grass is almost every where dried up, and every description is in a more or less suffering condition. The wells are more generally dry than perhaps for many years before ; and in many places, great inconvenience is suffered to procure supplies of water.
