A DREAM OP TiiE OLD AND NEW YEAR.
I had a strun.e wild dream—and as I dreamed
Methought l stood within a ruin gray,
Where broken columns in the moonliKht gleamed,
Telling a tale of splendor and decay.
Its dome was shattered, and the a demn sky
Luuked • almly down up in the crumbling wall,
And a dim robe of shadows seemed to lie
Upon it sadly, like a funeral pail.
Belies of beauty and of p-ide were there,
Statues, the fruit of study and of toil,
All crushed end blackeueu—they were none too fair
For the relentless touch of t me to spoil.
Pictures, which, glowing in their new-born hues,
Had so med t a breathe beneath the painter's eye.
New tern aud tnouldeu by the damp * f dews,
Prom out their ruined frames hung mournfully.
Fragmentsrf crystal, urns and vases ret
With gorgeous jewels, were ad scatte ed there,
And I cou tl fanny that there ling, red yet
A scent of uyiug Hewers upon the air;
But lizards crawled upon the marble floor,
And the wild shriek < f an ili-om< tied bird
Smote upon my ear, where oft in days cf yore,
Voluptuous strains ot music had ueen h ard.
Mirrors, tixat seemed hut forn ed to mul iply
The matchless form of beauty, and begot.e
The speaking g-ances of a soul-.it eye
To gaze enraptured on its own bright smile,
fJVotc from the walls in broken beauty gleamed ;
And as the moonbeams pale and coldly bright
Upon each shattered surface i-hone, they seemed
Reflected with a strange and ghastly light.
And fear was stealing on me as I stood
Within that ruined palace all alone,
When a deep sound as of a rush.ng flood
Was heard, and then a low and wailing tone
Ofdirge-dke music woke the slumbering air,
As a tall spectral shape came sweeping by.
It was old Father Time, and he was there
To see another of his children die.
And with him came a bent and withered form,
Whose hoary locks were whiter than the veil
Os spotless snow that clothes the winter storm ;'
His eye wav****/, his furrow d cheek was pal \
“ *TU well, 1 ' said nine, '‘that thou hast wandered here
To fill thy do >m,4bni mingle wi h the past,
'Mid fallen splendor, Oh! departing year, £\
*TU meet that thou sh .uld-t Conte to breathe thy la«t.
“And tell me, in thy journey o’er the earth,
Have joys or sorrows in thy pathway sprung?
Has thy short pi'grimige been cheered with mirth.
Or mournful wailings iu thine ear been rung *
Unroll the sec etsof hy breast before
Thy mighty heart is pulse'ess, and the breath,
Which is thy spring ot l.fe, shall come no more —
Stopped oy the suffocating chill of death.”
And the Old Year replied, “My life has been
Varied and changing as the shapeless air—
More misery than buns on earth t’ve seen,
Woes bom before me are still scowling there.
I’ve looked on pleasures, but to see them live,
As gaudy insects, born amid the light,
To glitter for a mome t, and then give
Their brief existence to be quenctied in night.
“I’ve watched the peasant toil in thankfulness.
More happy and contented on his way
Than those who in rich robes of purple dress,
Still fare sumptuously evety day.
I have seen sorrow in i:s bit.erness,
Yet cheered by hopes, look up, and sro le again,
And poverty an i want and wretchedness
Live on, to know that hoping was in vain.
“ I’ve looked on love, constant, devoted love,
Relic of Eden's tirst and purer h is*,
Bul led by earth, but stolen rom above,
The brightest talisin in of happine a.
Power may fall and ortune pass away.
Beauty may fade and weeping aim the eye.
Yet on li'e s desert love still sheds its ray.
One mortal spark of immortality l
“I’ve seen the tirant, wills a* iron will,
His vigil o’er a noble pe< pie keep,*;
Crushed, but uncotup&red, 1 have left them, still
Too brave t*> tremble, and too proud to we.p.
I’ve watched the spirit of a Union cease
Prom struggling, .ml the ang I smile above
To see Columbia’s bosom rest in peace,
Warmed by the beams of fellowship and love.
“ 11-ave a naticn writhing in the throes ,
Cf anarchy, where striving fictions start
The Are of uate, and call up pettv wars
To burn and rankle in her migtf'y heart.
Oh would the dauntless spirit that has fled
Could quit the t<>mb on e more in might to refga.
Weep, Frenrc —ti e glory which Napo eon shed
Around thy greatness, ne’er will beam again
lie paused, and from the henry wing of Time,
Li! as t looked, a drooping pinion fell,
Whenon the midnight a r a dis ant c' ime
To led mournfully the Old Years funeral knell!
There was a rushing sound, a plaintive cry;
To the dim vault of ages it had putt,
A speck, an a oiu in e’eruity,
Os many a mortal’s years in life, the last.
• ••*****••
My vision changed, and I seemed borne away
To a misterious pal ice in the air,
From wheuce to earih the rosy hours stray,
And thev were welcoming the Ni w fear there.
, Tears for the dying hid been quenctied in mirth,
An I strains of f i.y music ro.-e on high;
Another ci i.d of Time had sprung to birth,
And loud rejoicings i cut die morning sky.
A soft, delicious breath of incense crept
From jeweled censers through the sparkling air,
As if o'er heavenly flowers some breeze hid swe;t,
To waft the treasures of their fragrance there ;
And round each spirit-form a veil was thrown,
Woven of diamond-rays, as I beheld them thtong
Where on the wings of steep my soul bad flown
To steep itseif in beauty and in song.
And from those airy hills of golden liuht,
I saw the new-born year float gently down ;
Tbe morning hours drew his chariot bright,
His brow was circUd by astariy crown ;
My voice ha<i miugled with the jubilee.
When x awoke, Auroras ear'y beam
Broke the soft spell; but left to memory
The music an 1 the brightness of my dream.

Peace.-— How beimilul is peace—at the home
hearth, in sociciety, in the nation, aud over all tiu
Oblitefetor of feuds—washer out of blood
•stuius, aud uniter of earth’s races in loving brother
hood. Six thousand years since,Cain smote his bro
ther at the altar, the earth has travailed with war
and in blood. The only laudmatkss spared by the
ages, have been trophies of ferocious conquest.—
Kpin and tertor have swept over hills aud valleys,
and seas; and humanity born with such aTioolo
and glorious visage, has walked a pertnrbo and
terrible spirit, in mis earth garden and paridise of
God. Poaea which should have been tiie compa
nion of man, and the iuspirorofjoy, has only hash
ed at brief aud wide intervals, through the cloud
and storm of earth’s life. But it will not be ever
so. Thewaroth umanity with itself—its suicidal
strife—estrangement from its original nature, and
from God. cannot always last. Eighteen handled
years ago, one came upon the earth, heralded by :
angels, who sang “ Peace on eirtti, and good will :
unto men.” And tho prophecy of that song will ;
come to pass. The uunriural war among men, so- I
cioties, ami nations, must eea.se. Slowly, and cor- ,
taiuly, tho cloud aud tempest will roll; back, unveil- '
iug the clear aud serene sky, and humanity, self
bound, like Prometheus to ilie rock, will shake on
the vulture which tortures it to agony, peace
will come toali the earth, for G<>fl has sent a token
and given promise ot i. Then shall tho dove fly
out from the human art, over the wide sea of
earth’s ruin, pluckingthe olive leaf, and the bow of
promise shall bo hung iu the heavens, that the wa
ter of war’s desolation shall no more cover the
earth. r
. Truk Life.— The mere lapse of years is not
life, ioeat and drink and sleep ,to be exposed
to darkness and the light, to pace round in the
mill of habit and turn the wheel ot wealth to make
reason our book-keeper aud turn thought into an
implement of trade—this is not life. In all this, but
poortractiou of the consciousness of humanity is
awukcned ; uud tho sanctities still slumber which
make it mo.-t worth while to be. Knowledge,
truth, love, beauty, goodness, faith ulone can give
vitality to the mechanism of existence ; the laugh
of mirth which vibrates through the heart, the
tears that freshen the dry wastes within, the mu
sic that brings childhoods back, the prayer that !
calls the future near, the doubt which makes us 1
meditate, the death widen startles us with ims
tory, the hardship that lorces us to struggle, the i
anxiety that euds in trust—are true nourishment I
of our natural beiug.
A Vienna paper received hy the last steamer con
tains tho following paragraph:
One of the last political acts of the late Dariel
Vk ebetcr, as Secretary of the United Stales, was a
circular dispatch to tho European cabinets respect
ing the Sound dues. In that communication Mr
Webster insisted with energy that the time had
come when this toll, justified by no principle of
international law, could no longer be tolerated, and
expressed the request that the cabinets concerned
would confer upon ihe measures to be taken for its
abolition.
Great Press.—“ Hoe's last fast press.” with eight
cylinders, just comelted for the Phiadclphia Led
ger, was put in operation at tire establishment of
the manufacturers, in New York, last week, when
it made beliveen 21,000 and 22,000 impressions per
hour. Tho Messrs. Hoe have nearly completed an
other press of the same description for the Ledger, i
iu faot the contract was that the two were to ho !
made so exaotly alike in evrey particular,(every bolt
hole, piece or part of each fitting tbe same part of
the other,) that in case of the breaking of both pres
•ee at the same time, unless they were to be broken
In tbe same place, they oould still make a perfect
of the two.

THIRTY-tsECOND CONGRESS —Second Session
IN SENATE, Deo. 28.
After petitions, Mr. Dodge, of lowa, introduced
a bill for the relief of the workingmen on the
wings of the capxtol.
Mr. Case submitted the following resolution,
which was laid over:
tieeolved, That the President be requested to
communicate to the Senate, as far as may be com
patible with the public interest, any information in
the Department of State respecting the establish
ment of a new British colony in Central America,
together with the copy of a proclamation, if re

Augustus Fred. Gore.

And also, what measures, if any, have been
.akeu by the Executive to prevent the violation of
that article of the treaty of VVashingtou of July 4,
1850, between the United States and Great Britain,
which provides that neither party shall “occupy,
or fortify, or colonize, or assume dominion over
Nicaragua Costa Rica, the Mosquito Coast, or any
part of Central America.”
After a short executive session the Sonato ad

HOUSE.
On motion, the roll was called, when it appeared
that there was 147 members present.
After some time had been spent with reference
to a motion to withdraw a claim for losses by fire
in New York from the committee of the whole,
for the purpose of referring it ta the committee on
commerce, which was laid on the table, the resolu
tionas to receiving the reports of committees came
up, which was pending yesterday when the House
adjourned.
M. McMullen, of Virginia, moved to lay the re
solution on the table ; and tellers having been ap
• pointed, 67 voted fin the affirmative and 48 in the
negative—no quorum.
A motion was then made to adjourn, and the yeaa
and nays having been taken, it was negatived—
ayes 19, nays lit).
Tellers were again appointed, but again there
was no q’ orutn voiing.
Mr. Richardson, of Illinois, moved that tho
House adjourn, but tho yeas aud nays having been
culled, he withdrew the motion.
The yeas and nays being demanded, the Speak
er decided that they could not he called when there
was no quorum present, except on a motion wnich
involved the transaction of business.
This decision having been appealed against, and
a motion being made to lay tne appeal on the
table
' Mr. Florence, of Pa., moved that the House ad
journ, upon which the yeas and nays were taken
and it was curried—yeas 72, nays 66. The House
therefore adjourned at a quarter before 2 o’clock.

Foreign Commerce of the Lakes.—The foreign
| commerce of our Lake ports is of much more impor
-1 tance than is generally supposed. Os course it is the
result of a growing intercourse with the Canadian
i provinces; but, were the navigation of the St.
| Lawrence opened to our commerce, it is an asccr
; tained fact that the Lake ports are roady and eager
| to carry on a direct commeree with Europe. In
illustration of the importance already acquired by
j the foreign trade of these ports, tho Sandusky
j Register compiles from the United States Treasu
ry documents tho following statement of the
i iuTv>'jut of duties received for the year ending
j JSXit:
1850-’sl 1851-’52
Buffalo", N. Y 967,009 $91,000
j Oswego, N. Y 91,090 87,000
1 Sandusky, Ohio 20.000 82,000
j Cleveland, Ohio 55,090 85,000
I’lattsbursr, Ohio 49,000 64.000
Detroit, Michigan 28,800 84.000
j Niagara, N.»Y 17,000 28,000
j Ogdenhurgh, N. Y 20,000 * 21,000
j Cape Vincent, N. Y 6,900 19,000
i Sackett’s Harbor, N. Y 6,000 -19,000
j Chicago, 111 5,000 1 lfhOO
i Total 876.000 542,000
This shows an increase of $106,000, or about 44
; per cent, in one year, anti but eleven ports are
! given, the less important ones being omitted.
While the foreign commerce of these ports thus
; increased, the commerce of the Atlantic ports do-
I creased very materially, as is shown by tho tact
‘ that for the years 1850-’sl the aggregate duties in
the whole ono hundred aud three ports ot entry
in tiie United States was $48,788,000, and in the
succeeding year it was $47,820,826. There are but
four'eo 1 ports in the United States at which a
large • amount of duties is collected annually than
at buffalo, Oswego, Cleveland, or Sandusky.
There are Yew York, Boston, Philadelphia, New
Orle 11s, San Francisco, Baltimore, Charleston, St.
Portland, Cincinnati, Salem, Mobile, and New

Remarkable Freedom of Balloting.—M. Gnil
loud, Mayor of lu Guillotiere, in France, has takes ‘
an active part in preventing the people from sayi
ing nay to the Empire. “You shad not abstain, ’*
says he, “ from voting, and your bulletin shall not
contain a nay, you shall say yea, for these reasons:;
The defeat of Waterloo has remained like a tear
on the heart ot France. The Holy Alliunee has
always uppearo Ito you as an insolent threat. The
rock ofxSuint Ilelcua has been in youreyes but the
' expiration of our glory. Re-establish the Empire,
; and by its glorious hands the victory which is
i achieved over the Kings of Europe wiil make a
mourning of thirty-seven years cease. Re-estab
lish the Empire, and tho coalition of Kings against
France becomes a long derision; they promised
j thcrm'clves to snatch the sceptre for ever from the
family of the great man, and see now how their
oaths and idle aspirations disappear like smoke
with the breath of nation. Re-estab-f
lisli the Empire, »iid*Saint Helena is nothing
more to us than a memory, which glory, carried
on the wings of our eagles, will perhaps one day
undertake to inscribe in letters of fire in the re
cords of our history.”
Hero is a good rule to be adopted by the Go
vernors of all the States, it strikes us. It has been
adopted by the Governor of South Carolina;
In relation to the pardoning power, whenever’ 1
petitions#hull be presented for pardon, the report 1
of tho Judge who tried the case will be a requisi
tion in all cases not to be omitted. The faoility
with which appeals for mercy pan be obtained is 1
two well understood to weight with the Executive; i
and to enable the Governor to dispense the high 1
erorogative of mercy—which ia a constitutional
pquect —it is manifest that a dispassionate state
ment should be made. This determination is
absolute. 1

Goods Delivered Free of Charge.
e W* take pleasure in calling the attention of our
citizens to the advertisement of Messrs. Dawson
8 & Skinnkr, proposing to deliver goods in any
part of the city free of charge. This is, wo*belifcvo,
- an entirely new feature in the family grocery trade
8 of Augusta, and cannot fail, we think, to corn
-1 mend itself to public favor, especially to that very
i largo class who are dependent upon drays for the
e performance of this labor.
Maealiister, ilie Magician,
a Makes his first appearance to night, on which oc
. casion he presents an attractive bill of Fare. The
Savanuah Republican, speaking of his recent Enter
* tainments in that city, remarks:
0 There are men in all pursuits of life who raise
themselves far above the common level and dig
'* nity any art to which they uddress themselves.—
* Os this pre-eminent class is Mr. Maealiister. He is
" as far above his compeers in the uiugic art, as.lohn
' Kemble was above one of his sabordinate actors.
They imitate, he invents, it is to his mechanical
ingenuity, and his real love for his business'; that
1 he is indebted for the singular and strange iuvan
tions and conceits that have astonished the world.
’ With him there is no blundering. Every tiling
goes on like clock-work, and by his easy grace and
uniform courtesy, he puts his audience at ease in
an instant. He alway s deserves and commands sue -
oess. It is not long since that he left at Boston as full
houses after performing nine successive weeks, ns
when he first began. When he was here in 1849
he had to the last moment full houses. The same
was the case at New Orleans, after performing
- both in English and Erench eight weeks.
As his name imports, Maealiister is a Scotchman.
* He was born in Glasgow. He is now a cosmopolite
speaking several laugua<r liberal with his nio
’ ney, and decidedly a gent email in the best accepta
tion ofthoword. Had he Jived two or three cen
‘ turies ago, he might have held the best intellects
of the age enslaved by the belief that lie held fa
miliar converse with spirits from another world.—
lie might at that time, had he pleased, have con
’ trolled the action of Kings and Princes by a magic
’ and undisputed sway. Now, be goes laughing
( and singing along life s highway, every now a a
then conjuring up from his fertile imagination
’ some new, innocent and pleasing diversion with
which to delight tho world. He has already a
- imulated a large fortune, hut he follows the bent
. of his genius and keens on in his old practices.
He will open at t.ie Theatre to-night. Those
who have never teen him, should know that lie
1 fills ii j> the whole stage with the magic splendor of
’ his paraphernalia. \ hus, at the ou et, the scene
becomes transformed into a mystic 'tuple, gorge
ously s v iiihollic of his art. He'fntroduces to-night
1 his famous mechanical wonders of the “ -Percock ”
and “ Harh.ou'n ” —also his productive “ I’ortfolio”
’ and his “inexhaustible Bottle,” from which he
; actually pours forth and gives to the pubirle twenty
| two kinds of liquors. Ho will, also, present for
the first timo here, the wonderful “Mystic Chinese
Cabinet,” said t.o boa marvel. This, with his
1 “Magic Clock and Bell,” and the “ Great Shawl
feat” comprise some of tl.o principal matures or
his programme for this night.

National Monument to Mr Clay. —The Nation
al Intelligencer of Thursday publishes an appeal
from the Messrs. Ewing and Brockrenridgc, of 1
Kentucky, tor aid in building a Monument to Mr.
Clay, at Lexington. The movement, they sKv, is j
not intended to interfere with local memorials of re- !
spect for the memory of the illustrious statesman, ,
but proceeds upon the idea that he deserves a Na- j
tional Monument; and thee the proper spot to erect i
it is over his grave. The Intelligencer also publishes |
in the same connection, the response of a largo nutn- j
ber of Congressmen—about one hundred in all—in
which they earnestly urge a general and efficient
organization by States and Territories, in accord
ance with the plan proposed by the Central Asso
ciation and the example already established by a
majority of the States—and they promise their
cordial co-operation by ever proper means, in this

The French In Si. Domingo..
A correspondent of tho N. Orleans Picayune,
has given the following views relative to the
French naval force which recently seized Samane,
: in 1 St. Domingo, near the Mona paasag. Be says:
This bay of Samana is one of the moet spacious
and secure harbors in the Island. It is on the
* eastern end within the| territory of the Kepub
: liq of Dominica. Veasels running through the ad
jacent i laud passages head up quite near the lati
tude and longitude of this bay. I have no chart
to refer to at present, but if recollection serves me
) rightly, the old town of Cape Francois is located in
r the harbor of fciamana.
Vessels com iug through the Caycos, Turks
5 Island and Mona passages could not escape from
the French naval vessels there stationed, if the
nation they belonged to was at war with Fiance.
What object can the Emperor of France have in
t establishing a naval depot in that Island 1 There
are a number of islands belonging to France in tlie
West Indies, where they might establish a naval
f station, if it was necessary to protect their com
-3 merce and possessions in those seas. But we all
know tnat the Haytien Government indebted
1 to the French some millions of dollars, and it cau
/ not even pay the interest thereon. Now, does not
this movement seem to indicate that France is in
clined to assist the negro Emperor Solouque, to
subju ate the Domiuieiun Republic, so as to bring
j the whole Island under the dominion of the Hay
tien Empire! This accoinplised, the next object
‘ iu view would be tlie control of his black mujesty.
't he Emperor, so as to Drtng the island aguiau in
subject on to the Empire of France.
At that navaf station France would keep a large
. licet of steam frigates and an immense depot oi coal,
u iarge supply of provisions, and a garrison of {sol
diers, seamen and marines, ever ready to till tip
} voeuuoies in the crows of their steamships, a d
, thus they eouid stand by to head otf and overhaul
j any merchant vessels coming through Crooffed
Island, Caycos, Turks Island, and the Mona pass
-1 ages.
1 li the French aro permitted to establish a naval
station in that bay, to fortify and improve it, us it
seems they intend doing, then the Gulf of Mexico
J will indeed be hemmed iu most admirably, by
i Spain on tlie Island of Cuba, by England in Jamai
ca, and by France on the Island ol St. Domingo,
ll the French only want a naval depot among the
West Indies, why do they net locate on Marti
r nique, Gaudaioupe, or some other of their own
Islands,
* But this is not the object that- mainly actuates
f them—tho shrewd Emperor of France has been
made acquainted with tlie manifold advantages
’ he shall attain at this present time, by keeping
8 a large naval establishment .around this is.aud
-of St. tsaint Domingo, and he has seized and wrest
y ed this magnificent bay and harbor from the feeble
a government of Dominica, and will, doubtless hold
it, unless our Government takes a decided stand
in reference to the fraudulent proceeding. For
our own safety, and the welfare ol our merchant
marine, this mutter should be instantly denounced
- and discountenanced by tlie Government of the U.
B .States, or we may have greater difficulty with
France, than even we have had with England
and Spain.
This, i think, a more serious matter than either
a the Honduras, Nicaragua or Sandwich Island en
. croachmonts, and mere nearly concerns the imme
_ j diuto interests of the Southern States of our Unioju.
j 1 write to you, gentlemen, with a view of bringing
, out your sentiments in regard to this movem lit.—
1 am no politician, and therefore, perhaps, incotu
j potent to judge of the courso whicii should be pur
t sued by our Government.
Growth of tlie United States.
r In a lettertothe National Intelligencer Mr. Wm.
J Darby who lias devoted much attention to the sub
ject of tiie statistical history of the United States
I makes the following remarks on the growth of the
* country. Ho says:
I
, These periods have been three.
r First. Original colonization and progress to
tlie revolution commenced in 1775, and termina
, ted in 1783.
s Second period. Accession of Louisiana and
Florida ; Which, in all st tistical principles, we
may regard as enchainment ■ oftlic same course es
events, and also without any material error, as so
> nearly equal to that of 1783 as to justify the as
sumption of their equality.
Tho third and most extensive accession, was
that by which the domain of the United States was
extended to the Prci tic Ocean, and gave to those
States the Pacific cou*t of North America, front the
, Mexican to tho Russian boundaries, completing a
i j ouuected sovereignty from o :an to ocean, a sov
i oreignty wi* h internal and external advantages of
. po -ition and extent never before combined on the
earth.
In a comprehensive view of the subject, we have
! before us a connee'ed part of a continent spread
i ing over tempe: ..te latitudes from the Atlantic to
■ tho Pacific ocean, and comprising three millions
i bur hundred thousand square nines of that conti
nent; and in it* relative position 'he territory of the
Un.ted States embraces the middle or temperate
latitudes, occupying very nearly, on North Arner
| ica, similar latitudes with, and iu extent not ma
; tonally ditiering with all Europe, and, as will be
shown in these papers, with a re iclent popula
tion amounting in 1850, to upwards of twenty
three millions, and increasing at a ratio of one
third decennially, or, in plainer terms, gaining
one third iu e;h re» .*-*»-*-»• . , .
The law of progressive population in the United
States of North America, wuicli any arithmetician
can verify with tho data afforded by the several de-
I cennial ennumerations from 1790 to 1850, contains
we boldly i’sert, one, if not the most important
fact in tho history of the world. The existing gen
eration can, if it chooses, glance into futurity
through the glass of experience, and prepare in
advance for future consequences.

i pointed B. N. Kinyon, of Tishemiugo county, as
U. S. Senator, to take his seat on the 4th of March

How to Preserve Health. —Medicine will never j
remedy bad habits. It is utterly futile to think of |
living iu gluttony intemperance and every excess, '
: and keeping the body in health by medicine. In-’
dtilgence of tlie appetite, and indiscriminate do
sing and drugging, have ruined the health and de
stroyed the life of more persons than famine,
sword and pestilence, If you will take advice,
you will become regular in your habits, eat and
* drink wholesome tilings,sleep on mattresses retire
i and rise very regularly. Make a free use of water
to purify the skin, apd when sick, take counsel of
| the best physician you know and follow 7 nature. ■
j The St. Louis Intelligencer says :“ A statement j
i went the rounds not long ago that tho hired girls j
I of'Pittsburgh had sent homo $85,000 to their re’a- {
j tions in ‘ the old countries’ within tho six mouths j
j previous. Os its correctness wo know nothing. ;
But we have recently taken some pains to procure i
|"from authentic sources a reliablo statement i f the j
amount sent from St. Louis within twelve mouths ,
j past in remittances by immigrants from Ireland. ;
An’ aggregate ol SIIO,OOO ban been purchased here |
and *hus remitted during the present year.”
The City Councils of Boston have negotiated
! with Baring, Brothers & Co., for a loan; to the
! amount of £400,000 sterling, bearing interest,
| per cent., per annum,) payable in twenty years
! from Ist October last. They have also resolved to
j borrow $135,000 to meet the payments on the city
dolu, and $34,000 for paving and sewers. Tiie to
tal city debt, at the close of the present financial
year, exclusive ot the water debt, will be about
$1,879,300 being a reduction of $21,796.
In a case of appeal, arising out of the seiz ire of
liquor under the “Maine Liquor Law,” iu Mineso
ta, Chief Justice Huzner decided that the law is un
constitutional and cannot i>e enforced. 1
London contains for its three millions of inhabi
tants, thirteen general hospitals, possessing a col
lective staff of 140 to 150 physicians and surgeons,
with at least an equal number ort' medical practi
tioners. The hospital patients amount to the as- ,
touuding number of 300,000 annually.
Damages from Carelessness of Servant*-. —At
Cambridge, Mass., on Friday, in the Supreme i
Court, William Allen obtained S2OO damages of
Edward Train. Train keeps a grocery at East
Cambridge. He ordered one of his clerks to go
up stairs and lower an empty cask. He did so, but
let the cask fail, breaking one of Allen’s legs. The
jury brought in the above damages.
The Cincinnati and Indianapolis Railway will be

Balloon Ascent—On* Cbristuiaß day, in N w
Orleans there was a grand balloon ascension— ‘ie
aeronaut being M. Pettiu, who was nccompanl d
by three of his -friends. The Picayune says :
The bullooii was of immense size, but the > vr
was the great curiosity. It was built in th« slue
! of a large skiff, with extensive wings attached .0
the side, ennabling M. Petin to guide the dir •-
tion of his aerial craft from within. The car is
built mostly of cork, lined around with cavil-.-s
containing gas. The ascension took place soon f
i ter 2 o’clock, am’d the cheers of the crowd, 1 e
stars and stripes flying from the light vessel. M.
! Petin for some time could be distinctly seen w: k
1 ingabout in his frail structure, directing its mo. a- I
ments. The excitement of the spectators v is
l much heightened by witnessing the balloon p .*s
: llirough a beautiful white cloud, which for a ti ne
I obscured the floating machine from sight. At or
: rising to a great height, the balloon took dill r-
I ent directious, according to the will, of its pile,
! butfinally went of in a southeastern direction
We had not, at a late hour last evening, he. 'd
j from the daring aerial navigators, but we trust t at
i thev are safe.
