CoPPER OaEs FROM LAKE SuPERloR.-Several
specimens of these ores, amounting IN the whole
to near 500 pounds, were recently received by the
American Institute Of this city, as contribution
from Walter Cunningham, Esq, OF Copper Har
Dor, Lake Superior, and are now open to the ex
animation of the curious and scientific at the
rooms of the Institute. If our Government were
to take immediate measures or thorough and sci
entifc exploration of the minerals in that region,
it can hardly be doubted that the result would
show an entire ability on our part to supply all
the wants Of the United States with copper from
within our own territories We understand Nh
Cunningham has forwarded specimens to the
Secretary Of War.


In the same rooms of the Institute we saw a
piece of the great Copper Rock or Boulder from
Ontanagan River, Lake Superior, presented by
Mr.. Eldred, who removed the rock and exhibited
tin this city some weeks since The weight of the
entire solid, if we remember, was about two tons.


f- We perceive that Mr.. J. A SHEA, of this
city. delivers a Lecture tomorrow evening al the
Lyceum, Jersey City-subject Ireland as sep
arate nation 1t is the same read by him before the
Carroll Institute few weeks since, in Philadelphia,
where it has been highly spoken of as embodylns
much new and valuable information, as to the re-
sources of Ireland NATURAL physical and moral,
which is at this time, peculiarly desirable.
