The Nrpatv Durbar has given 1,000 Goorkhas to aid in tiie occupation of Chan paruu and the districts on the l**f! bank of the Ganges, which are endangered by the abandonment of Goruckpore by the civil officers. Il is thougt.t that the force stated, which left Katmaudboy on the L3Lh or 14th ult., will suffice to restore in those districts. Our latest accounts from Delhi extend to the 26th ult. The Punjaub reiuforceraeuts mentioned iu the last met- age reached camp ou the 1-Uh ult.; and more recently an auxiliary force of about two thou •vftd six hundred men trom Cashmere lias marched to join the force.

Anew saige train from Faroxpore is expeset t and by the end of August, and the Chief Commis sioner of the Punjaub calculates that by the middle of ibis mouth the force before Delhi will be little short of 15,000 men.

Edphinstoni, Secretary to the Government of India. 9.40. A* Monday. Raven. Fro m lie London Herald. A Vlw of iho City. Monday evening. — There has been almost a panic in the market for the English funds to-day, ooraaioned by the advance of the minimum rate of interest and diswunt to 7 percent, by the authori t;eif the Bank of England. This extreme meas ure has lakeu a large portion of the public by sur prise, inasmuch as t: was scarcely apprehended that the position of affairs was so unsatisfactory as to in c.uce the Governor of the Bank to exert the power visted in las office to advance the rate of interest without waiting, as in the ordinary course, for a resolution of the Board of Directors. It appears, never, from the promptitude with which this hn.ngc has been made and the extent to which it has been carried, that the Governor of the Baukcon dcrs lie has found, in the publication of the affairs o: the Bank at the close of last week, a sufficient | for infficliug on the whole mercantile com mnnity of this country the additional burden of 1 per cent, in the rate ot interest within five days of the time when an advance to 6 per cent, had been made. It is true that the position of monetary and c •.unm cial affairs in the United States is meet unsat factory, and it is equally true that under ordinary el r au stances a large outflow of bullion would take place from this country with a much lower rate . profit than is offered by the state of the exchanges; b it still it may be questioned whether the dispatch of bullion t .tier u ill be very large, in consequence t the feeling of insecurity which would attend such durations. The disturbed condition of financial af fairs on the Continent of Europe more immediately a lie- . us, but it is notwithstanding open to much de bate (upn the data possessed by the public) whether the evils that can scarcely fail to be ..used by so tuerviieee an addition to the rate of ♦•d scout'd” aa H per cent., within lese than a week, wiH be compensated by the result* expected to fol w so serums and so determined a step. Vor the past three years we have had a periodic return o( these extreme measures on the part of the Bank. The mercantile community have, however, been able to support the pressure with some degree pftmpuattv hitherto, from ‘he high state of credit , ontHirrenfly maintained, and the facility with which c-ounnodiue* were absorbed by the chief markets of tlia world. If the tale of proh: ou oar exports wss but small, it was compensated for to a considerable extent by the profits realized on imports. The monetary “pressure m other countries, although se vere. was not excessive, and not nearly so geaaraL india and the United Stales always offered a safe outlet for our productions, and capita! could always l-e raised at the market rates hot carrying on eem metvial operations Money, though dear, way easy, l-nfertauateiv now the case ha* somewhat changed. India is disuracled by a widesewead rebellion, and truce in a great measure is paralyzed. In the United S'w the ugontes of commercial crisis are being endured.'ood although there is reason to hope that tbs worst has passed, it must be clear to aH that commercial confidence will not be so readily reetor ct as t has been tore down, and that it Will perhaps be month* betore credit will be even partially re rstaWiahaii It ie therefore impossible to look upon the advance of the rata of iaiereet and discount to day but as a inoat grave and serious step. We roc art now ship goods ad Itinlum to India and Ainrriea. and thus one great source of the available unanen-lal capital of this country is materially narrowed . and although this is not an unmixedevif, it is one which will tor the time seriously cripple tue commercial world, and doubtless bring down ; many firms of standing and respectability.

From the Manchester Guardian M-acHrsriß, Tuesday, Get. 13-The commer cial storm, reaching ns from the United States is producing a serious effect. Instead of goods mo ney flows to that quarter where it may be very oro fit ably used in buyingup depreciated securities This, added to the previous causes of drain, has led the Bank of England again to raise the rate of in terest; an advance of 1 percent having been de termined upon at the meeting of directors yester day morning. The increased difficulty of effecting discounts, and of obtaining remittances which thus arises, would alone restrict the operations of mer chants. What effect a continued diminution of demand for years and goods may have upon production re mains to be seen. As contracts run out stocks will begin to accumulate, and if the mills will go on working full time cotton will maintain its value or become dearer from scarceness. Will spinners and manufacturers pile np their products at so high a cost J This is scarcely conceivable. It would clear ly, then, be the wisest course for the whole fiction trade to resort to short time at once. In no otbw way can the complicated difficulties and dangers of the position be effectually dealt with. The failures in Glasgow are the D. Macdonald, very extensive muslin manufactur ers, whose liabilities are variously stated at £500,- 000, £600,000. aud even a still higher sum; J. Mon teith & Cos., calico printers, having liabilities given in some letters at £-150,000, and in others at £500,- 000; William Smith, calico printer, whose debts are not stated; and Wm. Wardlaw & Cos., agents, ow ing, it is said, £60,000. In reference to a rumor of the sum owing by J. Monteith it Cos., to a Man chester firm, we can state, on the best authority that it is immensely exaggerated. We are glad to say that the alleged failure of G. Pattison & Cos., of Glasgow, is authoritatively contradicted. Iu Man chester, Hugh Ferguson, stuff merchant, has inform ed his creditors by circular, that he is unable to meet his undertakings, which somewhat exceed £40,000. This amount will fall chiefly upon Brad ford. Mr. Ferguson is said by the Leeds Mercury, “to have been engaged in speculative transactions to a considerable extent” A meeting of the creditors of James and John Beard baa been held to-day at the Clarence Hotel; Messrs. Hale, Worthington, aud Shipman being the solicitors to the estate, and Mr. Broome, accountant. The debts aud liabilities were staled at £61,000 the assets £63,000. The latter consists ot stock, £13,- 000; good debts in England, £800; and balance upon consignments to foreign markets, £ 50,000. Sixty creditors were present or represented, and a committee was appointed to investigtte jthe af fairs and report on Tuesday next The creditors of Edmund Whitehead also held a meeting. He oflers 8s 6d on the pouud upon £20,000, which the princi pal creditors accepted. Affleck's and M'Kerrow’s accounts are also in course of preparation for a meeting. Great Britain—The Newmarket Kaces.— The race for the great Cesarewitcli Handicap at Newmarket resulted in the triumph of Mr. Ten Broeck’s “Prioress.’’ Thirty four horses ran, and on the first attempt there was a dead heat between Prioress, El Hakim and Queen Bess. The deciding raoe between these three was won cleverly by Pri oress by a length and a half. The success of the American home was greeted with great cheering, aud Prioress immediately became first favorite in the betting for the Cambridgeshire stakes to be run for at Newmarket on the 27th ot October. Before the race 100 to X was laid against Prioress. The value of the stakes exceeded £2,000 sterling. Particulars of the Race—Retcmarket Second Octo ber Meeting. — Tuesday, Oct. 13.

December, and Dusty Miller, 50 to 1 each agst Eloquence aud St. Giles, 100 to 1 each agst Prioress and Sluggard.— The fl g was dropped to a beautiful start. Dusty Miller bore his colors to the front, with Queen Bess, Cerva, M. Debler, and the l’lush Colt following, nearly in the order named:—Odd Trick, Fright, Emulator, Ziz zag, Warlock, Prioress, aud Poodle lying in the middle of the ruck. These positions were unchanged uutil reaching the ditch, wiien Cerva rushed to the front, Queen Bess being in close attendance upon her, with Odd Trick third, Emulator, El Hakim, Prioress, Fright, Zig-zag, Warlock, and the Plush Colt forming the next lot. At the bushes the pace began to tell, and War lock, Plush Colt, and Poodle .dropped back, and Cerva resigned the lead to Queen Bess. As they descended the hill Odd Trick, Emulator, and Zig zag also disappeared from the front. Ou approach ing the cords Queen Bess, with El Hakim at her neck, still held a slight lead, with Prioress running by herself on the far side third, Fright, Zig-zag, Warlock, and Emulator showing in front of the ruck. One of the most exciting Cesarewitch finish es ever seen then ensued. Prioress, half way up the cords, seemed to be almost coming in alone, but the tiny jockeys of El nakirn and Queen Bess made a determined set to, and the judge, unable to sepa rate the first three, pronounced a dead heat with Prioress, Queen Bess and El Hakim ; Fright was next, about a length and a half behind them, Zig zag fifth, about a length and a half in advance of War lock, who was sixth, and Martinet seventh ; Emu lator aud Saunterer headed the next lot that strag gled in. In the extreme rear, pulled up, were St. Giles, Wild Honey, Poodle, Fisherman, Black Tom my, and the Poacher. DECIDING HEAT. Mr. R.

The “heat” was run after the last race in a deepening twilight, which rendered it impossible to dist inguish the col ors of the riders at a distance.. El Hakim was first off, but after going about fifty yards Prioress, over powering Fordham, rushed to the front aud carried on the running to the ditch gap, where she was pull ed back, andlay about three lengths in the rear, Queen Bees going on with the lead, close attended by El Ilakim. On coming down the bushes hill Prioress hung to the left, and a shout was raised of “The American's beaten !” but Fordham roused the mare with his whip, and before reaching the foot of the hill she bore her colors in advance, and quitting her opponents half way up the cords, won cleverly by a length and a half; El Hakim beating Queen Bess by a head only for second place. A loud and prolonged cheer hailed the triumph of the American horse, and Mr. Ten Broeck was warmly congratu lated upon the first victory achieved by him in En gland. An objection was made by the rider of Queen Bess against the rider of El Hakim ou the ground of a cross. The celebrated American horse Lecomte died from an attack ot cholio. The horse Pryor had been stricken out of all his engagements for the present year. From the Times of Oct. 12. Financial Affairs.— The funds declined j per cent. The demand for discounts at bank is more numerous than any during the month. Sixty thou sand pounds were also withdrawn for exportation. The American advices per Persia show that many months must elapse before its consequences hete will be retrieved. The chief danger of gold being Bent hence to New York is om account of large ad ditional purchases of securities, which our capital ists have been tempted to make at present prices. As respects commercial losses to be sustained this side, very heavy amounts are believed to have fal len on Lyons and Paris—Manchester, Bradford and Glasgow will also suffer considerably. From the Times of the Yith. The bank to-day raised the discount to 7 per cent. This measure was fully anticipated, and from the extent of the applications to-day it is doubtful if further movement will not immediately be found necessary. The amount of bullion withdrawn from the bank has been only nine thousand pounds, but it is asserted that lour hundred thousand pounds will be dispatched by the Baltic add Persia on Wed nesday and Saturday next, and as the Indian ex changes show an adverse alteration, it is also anti cipated that the shipments in that direction by this mail of 20th will be larger than at any one time thought probable. With these prospects a freeh ad vance iu the rate of discount can scarcely be avoid ed, and perhaps we may again see the rate of eight per cent at which it stood in October. 1847. In proportion, however, to the suddenness of the pres sure, will be the rapidity of the ultimate reaction. There is nothing to excite apprehension that the disturbance will be protracted. The sole cause for anxiety is the fall of such houses, in the provinces asd elsewhere, as are unavoidably compromised by the American failures and fluctuations in the markets for Eastern produce. This should not beget, how ever, any vague terror calculated to lead men to a single day of general financial distrust The belief is, however, that the decided action of the banks has removed all danger on that account. Altogether the feeling exhibited to-day was such as to excite pride in our healthful system of finauce, and to con firm the impression that, although the shook from America comes upon us in the midst of the Indian mutiny, ste shall be able to withstand it, so that its consequences, heavy as they must necessarily be; shall not destroy confidence or interrupt the general welfare of the country. The flactumons in the unds to-day have been extiemely greatt Four failures were announced from Glasgow to day. The principal one was that of J. Monteith A Cos., whoee liabilities are believed to be exten sive. They were large shippers of Glasgow goods to America and elsewhere. The other houses are Patterson A Cos., McDonald A Cos., and Wallace & Cos. From tie Trme* af the 14 tk. The quotation of gold at Paris is nearly two tenths per cent dearer than in London, and at Hamburg five tenths dearer. The fluctuations in the funds to-day have again teen rapid and exten sive. The market opened with great weakness, but there was subsequently considerable reaction and a more healthful tone in all departments of business. Console for money were first quoted at 86 1-2. No sales, however, were pressed, and gradual recovery took place, which was assisted by several purcha ses on the part of the public. The range was then between 87 and 87 1, until noon, when the government broker appeared as a buyer of X 10,600 exchequer bills on account of the sinking fund. This increased the tendency to confidence, and ultimately, notwithstanding the announcement that the Bank of France bad adopted a rise of one per cent in toe rate of discount, transactions were affected at the rate of 874 to 87j, and 88 to SBi for the 10th of November. After the regular hours there was lees firmness, and quotations were 87 1-2 to 87$ tor money, and tte to sf for the account.

To what extent this policy can be pursued without af fecting the customers of the banks, and reacting un pleasantly on the portfolios of these institutions, is a question now in progress of solution. In the meanwhile, it is satisfactory to know that the ability of the banks to afford relief ‘8 on the increase, and if hitherto withheld from prudential considerations, it ought not to be considered as inaugurating a sys tem under which a policy ot such questionable pro priety should be indefinitely perpetuated. Doubt less, however, the various managers will take this important matter under immediate advertisement, SPd if wise counsels prevail, they will not fail to respond partially at least to the pressing wants of the community. Outside it is wel 1 known that money cannot be had at any price, and hence the only reliance of the merchants ia on the moneyed institutions.

The suspension of the banking house of Messrs.

We are happy, however, to state that the misfortunes, which, according to the best information we can obtain, will be only temporary, does not affect in the slightest degree the bank of James Robb, an institution managed entirely apart from the banking business of the bouse, and that its means and resources, as may indeed be seen trom the returns, are more than ample to meat all and every demand. Whilst much sympathy is de servedly expressed for Mr. Robb, the community here have the most implicit confidence in the man ■agement of the bank. It was exceedingly difficult to pass Exchange of any kind this morning, and where casual negotia tions have been effected, the rates are so irregular as scarcely to admit of a quotation.

(-rent Knilroud Failure. The Illinois Central Railroad has failed, and made an assignment. This is the greatest among the great failures of the passing day. The Illinois Central is the longest railroad in the United States. It is 704 miles long. At last ac counts it had cost over $23,000,000. Its gross re ceipts at the last yearly return were $2,476,000 ; its nett receipts were $1,031,000. On the 19th of Sep tember its stock stood at 94, and as late as Satur day stood at 71. As evety one knows, this road was richly endow ed by the State with lands granted by Congress. The grant was 3,840 acres to every mile. So that the whole grant waa over 2,700,000 acres of land. These lauds were appropriated by the company in maimer following : 2,000,000 of acres were mort gaged as security for money to be raised for the con struction of the road. The money expected to be raised in this way was $17,000,000. The bonds bore 7 per cent, interest, payableon the Ist of October and April in New-York; 250,000 acres were to be held subject to sale, so as to form a fund for the pay ment of interest, until the receipts of the road should pay interest. The balance—some 400,000 acres— were to be sold from time to time to “ meet Buch demands as the exigencies of the Company may demand.’’ The minimum value of the 2,000,000 acres (mort gaged for construction) was set down at over $lB,- 000,000. Tic company also created stock to the amount of $2,000,000. The landß and the road were conveyed in trust to Morris Ketehum, of New-York, and to John Moore and Samuel Lockwood, of Illinois. The trust thus created was to secure the construction of the road, and those who loaned it money on the strength of its lands and road. The bonds called construction bonds, to the amount of si; ,000,000, have been issued. Besides, I $3 ,000,000 of 7 per cent bonds, secured by lands I other than those set apart to secure the construction bonds, have been issued. These $3,000,000 are called tree-land bonds. At the minimum valuation put on the 2.000,000 acres, which were mortgaged to secure the con struction bonds, the whole landed property may be considered worth $25,000,000. The last sale of the bonds was 65. So sanguine were the proprietors of this road that the proceeds of the bonds and the lands sold would put them amply in funds, that they made it a con dition of tiie construction bonds that the company might at any time purchase those bonds, or any of them, by paying, in addition to the regular interest, the principal, with twenty percent, added. Iu fact, few supposed that such a road as this, endowed as it was, could fail of being excellent property. It had $2,000,000 of capital subscribed. It had such pro ceeds in money as near 700,000 acres of land would yield to pay interest as well as for < onstruction. — And it bad the proceeds of the $17,000,000 construc tion bonds. The cost is set down by the Railroad Journal at as we have stated above, a little over $23,000,000. The construction and free-land bonds amount to $20,000,000, if they have all been sold. The inter est at 7 per cent on these bonds is $1,400,000. The nett receipts of the road at the last yearly report were given at $1,031,000, and the gross at $2,476,- 000. Os the gross receipts, 5 per cent, are payable into the Illinois State Treasury, as the bonus agreed on for the land grant. Five per cent on the gross reoeipta last year were over $123,000. And if the sum above given as nett receipts is what is left after deducting merely running expenses, this $123,000 must be deducted from these receipts, thus leaving the sum applicable to the payment of interest from the receipts at $907,-JIO, which would fall short of the interest supposed to be due over half a million of dollars. The lands sold by the company amount to about 300,000 acres, at near sl4 an acre. Should all the land granted.them sell at the same rate, the aggre gate would be between thirty and forty millions of dollars. The lands and roads will now, in the regular course, go into the hands of the bondholders or be sold for their benefit. The suggestion that the road will be no longer operated cannot, we suppose, be grounded iu any knowledge of the intention of those who control it. Education of Girls.— Tne subject of physical education is beginning to attract attention. The following remarks are from the Boston Courier, written by the editor after having attended a school testival in Faneuil Hall: “But there was one thing we noticed which did throw a little shadow over our thoughts. We stood on the platform, very near the boys and girls, as they passed by to receive a boquet at the hands of the Mayor. We could not help observing that not one girl in ten had the air and look of good health. There were very many lovely countenances—lovely with an expreesion of intellect and goodness—but they were like fair flowers resting upon a fragile stalk. Narrow cheet, round shoulders, meagre forms, pallid cheeks, were far too common. There was a general want ia their movements of the buoyancy and vivacity ot youth and childhood. The beat of the day and the nervous exhaustion of the occasion were to be taken into the account and due allowance should be made for them. But this was not the first time that we were forced to the conclusion that here in Boeton, in tie education of girls, the body is lamentably neglected. And it is a very great and serious neglect, the oonsequnces of which will not end with the sufferers themselves. Os what use is it to leant all sorts of things during the first sixteen years of life, and to stuff the brain with all kinds of knowledge, if the price be a feebly or dis eased body f A finely endowed mind shut np in a sickly body is like a bright light in a broken lantern, liable to be blown out by a pnff of wind or ex tinguished by a dash of rain. If the destiny ot women were to be put under a glass and looked at like a flower, it would be of little consequence ; but woman must take her part in performing the duties and sustaining the burdens of life. These young model scholars, in dne time, will marry men whose lot it is to earn their bread by some kind of toil, in which their wives must needs aid them To this service they will bring intelligent capacity and conscientious purpose ; but how far will these go without health, and the cheer ful spirits which health gives ? A sickly wife is no helpmate, but a hindermate. If we neglect the body the body will have its revenge. And are we not doing this T A'ewe not throwing our whole educational force upon the brain ? Is not a healthy city born and bred woman getting to be as rare as a black swan ? And is it not time to reform this altogether f Is it not time to think something of the casket as well as the jewel—something of the lantern as well as the light ?” Til low Fiver at Milton.—A private letter from Pensacola, written on Friday, gives us the following information : The yellow fever is prevai’ing to some extent in Milton. Fla., and isof a very malignant type, there having been, up to the time of the steamer's leav ing on yesterday, seven deaths since the previous morning There is a great panic among the in habitants : and really it is not to be wondered at after the disastrous effects of the fever there in 1853. The little town of Milton is situated on Blaekwater Kiver. some twenty-five miles above Pensacola, in the very midst of the piney woods, and is usually unsurpassed in respect of healthfulness by any spot in Florida, or anywhere else In 1853, it iuay be remembered, there was no place that suffered more severely from yellow fever. Then, however, the disease had gradually advanced from New Orleans to Mobile, from Mobile to Pensacola, and from Pensacola to Milton. Now, at the close of a season, when these cities have been almost, if not altoge ther, exempt from yellow fever—with the excep tion of New Orleans, we might say entirely so—that it should suddenly break out in this remote spot is an unusual and unaccountable phenomenon, even in the history of this mys'erious disease Mobile Tribune. The Financial Management of the municipal affairs of New Tork appears to be at loose ends. A report has just been made to the Council which shows that nearly eight millions of dollars are due to the City Treasurer, which ought to have been paid long ago. On assessments unpaid there is the sum of 14,759,000. and of unpaid taxes $2^36,000. It is strongly suspected that these amounts have been intercepted on their way from the tax payers to the Treasury. Daniel Bean. In bis peaceful habitation on the banks of the Yadkin River, in North Carolina,Daniel Boon, the illustrious hunter, had heard Finley, a trader, so memorable as the pioneer, describe ‘a tract of land west of Virginia as the richest in North America or in the world. In May, 1769, leaving his wile and offspring, having Finley as bis pilot and four others as his companions, the young man of about three and twenty wandered forth through the wilderness of America, “in quest of the country of Kentucky,’’ known to the savages as “the Dark and Bloody Ground,” the‘ Middle Ground,’’ between the sub jects of the Five Nations and the Cherokees. Af ter a long and fatigueing jonmey through mountain ranges, the party found themselves in June, on the Red River, a tributary to the Kentucky, aud from the top ot an eminence surveyed with delight the beautiful plaiu that stretched to the north-west.— Here they built their shelter and began to recon noitre and to hunt. All the kinds of wild beasts that were natural to America£-the stately elk. the timid deer, the antlered stag, tße wildcat, the bear, the panther and the wolf —crouched among the canes, or roamed over the rich grasses which, even beneath the tniekest shades, sprang luxuriantly out of the generous soil. The buffaloes cropped fear lessly the herbage or jbrowued on the leaves of the reed, and were more frequent than cattle in a set tlement of Carolina herdsmen. Sometimes there were hundreds in a drove, and round the salt-licks their number was amazing. The summer in which tor the first time a party of white men enjoyed the brilliancy of nature near aud iu the valley of the Eikhorn, passed away in the occupations of exploring parties aud the chase. But one by one, Boone's companions dropped off, till he was left alone with John Stewart. They jointly found unceasing delight in the wonders of the forest, till one evening near Kentucky river, they were taken prisoners by a band of Indians, wanderers like themselves. They escaped and were joined by Boone's brother; so that when Stew art was soon after killed by savages, the first victim among the hecatomb of white men slain by them in their desperate battling for the lovely hunting ground, Boone still had his brother to share with him the dangers and attractions of the wilderness, the building and occupying the first cottage in Ken tucky. In the spring of 1770, that brother returned to the settlements for horses and supplies of ammuni tion, leaving the renowned hunter “by himself without bread, or salt, or sugar, or even a horse or dog.” “ The idea of a beloved wife,” anxious for his safety, tinged his thoughts with saduess; but otherwise the cheerful, meditative man, careless of wealth, knowing the use of the rifle, not the plow, of a strong,’ robust frame, in the vigorous health of early manhood, ignorant of books, but versed iu the forest aud forest life, even fond of tracking the deer on foot away from men, yet in his disposition, humane, generous and gentle, was happy in the un interrupted succession of “ sylvan pleasure.” One calm summer’s evening, as he climbed a commanding ridge, and looked upon the remote “venerable mountains,” and the nearer ample plains, caught a glimpse in the distance of the Ohio, which bounded the land of his affections with ma jestic grandeur, his heart exulted in the region he had discovered. “All things were still.” Not a breezes o much as shook a leaf, lie kindled a lire near a fountain of sweet water, and feasted on the loin of a buck. He was no more alone than a bee among flowers, bat communed familiarly with the whole universe of life. Nature was his -ntimate, aud as tho roving woodsman leaned confidingly on her bosom, she responded to his intelligence. For him the rocks aud fountains, the loaf and the blades of gross had life ; tiie cooling air laden with the wild perfume, came to him as a friend; the dewy morning wrapped him in its embrace; the trees stood up gloriously round about him as so many myriads of companions. All wore the character of design or peril. But how could he be afraid! Tri umphing oyer danger, he knew no fear. The per petual howling of the wolves by night round his cot tage- or his bivouac in the brake, was his devoraion; aud by day he had joy in survey ing the various spe oies of animals that surrounded him. lie loved the solitude better than the towered city or the hum of business. Near the end of July, 1770, his faithful brother came back to meet him at the old camp. Shortly after, they proceeded to Cumberland river, giving names to tbe different waters and lie then returned to his wife aud children, fixed in his purpose at the risk of his life aud fortune to bring them as soon as possible to live in Kentucky, which he esteemed a second Paradise.— Bancroft’s History. The Deet Sea Soundings iiy the Arctic.— The United States surveying steamer Arctic has return ed from her deep tea explorations, completing her former surveys aud examining into the practica bility of other telegraphic extensions in connection with the great transatlantic scheme. The first part of the work was completed successfully, but in the deep sea soundings, the sounding line, several thou Sund fathoms long, was lost. The plan proposed was to make soundings and thermal observations, at intervals of thirty miles, between Halifax aud Bermuda, and thence home. This ia only a portion of an elaborate examination that is being made of all the phenomena connected with the Gulf Stream, under the direction of Professor A. D. Bache, the head of our Coast Survey Department. The prin c pal instrument in these surveys has been the thermometer, and by its aid they were able o mea sure the amount and locate the limits of the Gulf Stream with no little accuracy. The temperature of the surface, being affected by a thousand causes, can be little relied on, but a systematic thermal ex amination at a depth of 15 or 20 fathon s has been effected. Temperatures were observed eveD to the depth of several hundred fathoms, varying at first by distance of ten fathoms, and afterwards, as the differences in temperature on descending became less perceptible, by greater distances between the thermometers. These observations Bhowed that the Gulf Stream is comparatively a superficial cur rent, aud is underlaid by vast strata of cold water, so oold as to carry to Southern regions the tempera ture of the far North. In the passage from Halifax towards Bermuda elaborate thermal experiments were made. At the last station, before tho parting of the line and loss of their last sounding apparatus, the temperatures increased from a depth ol nearly three miles in a very regular proportion, beginning with 25 degrees on the bottom and running up to 45 degrees. 14 degrees, 66 degrees, and 54 degrees, to finally 75 degrees on theiurface. Some of the depths obtained were enormous—the greatest relia ble depths ever obtained.— Ball. Amer. The Process of Wheel Making, at the car wheel and thq tire works, in Jersey City, is one of the most interesting in all the various operations of modern mechanics. The tread or exterior of the rim is east iu contact with a heavy ring of iron, pre viously turned smooth. The metal employed is hot blast iron, and small quantities of white iron are ad ded whenever the metal proves not sufficiently in clined to chill. The .depth to which the harden ing is effected on the rim should be about half an inch, and this may be very readily ascertained if the casting be broken across at that part. In order to afford means for thus ascertaining the depth of the hardened metal, small projections termed “trials” are cast ou the side, which trials are broken off by a hammer after the wheel is cold, and readily show by the color and highly crystaline appearance of the fracture the precise depth of the chill. The mould, constructed in the ordinary manner, except for the insertion of the chill, is broken up as soon as practicable after the metal lias been poured. Eight minutes, says a writer in the Scientific American, who describes this operation, waa the time allowed in the instance which we timed ; aud the wheels, still bright red-hot, are at once transferred to ‘‘an nealing pots,” where they are covered deeply with dry sand, and allowed to remain three days grad ually cooling. The interior cavities, of course, are produced by coring, the cores being sustained by slender iron rods, which remain in the perfected casting, as part of the Bame. The material of the cores is disintegrated aud removed in the usual manDer, by stirriDg it with rods inserted through holes of quite moderate Bize, left for the purpose in side plates. New Passenger Car. —At the late Fair in At lanta, anew Passenger Car put up at the shop of the State Road, was exhibited. The whole of the work was done at this shop, and nearly all the materials used in its construction, is of Georgia pro duction. It was put under the direction and supervi sion of Mr. David Emanuel, Master Carpenter of the Western & Atlantic Rail Road Wood Shop. This Car equals any brought from the North, and excells them in many particulars. The inside is most elegantly furnished and beautifully ornamented. The painting is magnificent—done by Mr. Tomlin son. The actual cost of this Car, is five or six hundred dollars less than those purchased at the Northern Factories. It ia truly astonishing that Southern Rail Road Companies should annually expend hun dreds of thousands of dollars, in the purebaee of cars when as good aud even better, an artilre can be made at home, and at less cost than those put up at the North. The policy heretofore pursued, is not only objectionable in an economical point of view, but grossly unjust to our own mechanics. A few years ago, David Emanuel was a poor orphan boy, living in this city; by dint of industry and preseverance, he has become master of bis trade and can compete with the best car builders at the North.

Caught. —We are infomedthat two underground railroad agents from “way down East” were captur ed in Sumter county last week and lodged in jail. It seems that the scoundrels had several interviews with some negroes aud persuaded some of them to leave for free-niggerdom, but one of the would-be midnight emigrants informed bis matte- of the affair, after reflection had brought him to his senses. The master therefore dressed and blacked himself into a counterfeit negro and went to the place of rendezvous, where he met the “liberators” and talked and laughed “high negro ‘ to them until all their plans were discovered, and evidence enough to convict obtained, when the master and con federates threw off their disguises and arrested the thieves, and sent them to “durance vile ’ and the prospect of a few years at hard labor in the carpen ter's shop over about Wetu i pka.

Distressing Incident. —Last week a son of Col. Joseph J. Winter, of this county returned from Kansas after an absence of some three years, we beneve His appearance had so changed that even his father did not recognize him when he entered th 6 parental mansion. After the son had made himself known, the father stepped to the door es an adjoining room, and calling to two of his daughters, informed them that a gentleman desired to see them. Upon entering the room, the young lames did not at first recognize their brother, but almost instantly the eldest, named Cecillia, recognized him and sank ins’antiy to the floor, dead. Being somewhat delicate, the joyous surprise of tnus un expectedly meeting her long absent brother to whom she was d'eariy attached, was too much, and her gentle spirit took iu flight to realms where her hap piness will endure ioiwt.—Uarksburry (Va.)

So difficult is the art, that it is *aid there “is but one lapidary in the world Coster, of Amster dam—to whom stones of extraordinary size would be entrusted. The universal standrad by which the diamond ia estimated is the carat, formerly exactly equivalent to four troy weight. It is now, however, never of the full weight. The standard price of the uncut £en. weighing one carat, is from seven dollars and a hAf to ten dollars, according to their purity, shape, etc.; that of the •'brilliant cut ia from thirty to forty dollars; the ‘rose” cut tt worth about half as much as the bril liants of the same weight an dquality. The rule by which diamonds of all sizes are estimated is, to multiply the square of the weight by the above prices. A diamond of the first water, “brilliant” cut, and weighing three hundred carat, would be as large as a hem's egg, and would be worth $3,000,000.

The wh at crop is oelieved to be much in excess of any previous year ; but as it was injured by rust in many localities the quality is likely to be inferior. The planting of barley was stimulated by the great increase in the consumption of beer, aud the pro duction is estimated at twenty five percent, in ex cess of any former year. Respecting the manufac ture of whiskey, we extract the following, showing tiie quantity distilled iu Ciuciunati during the past aud previous years : 1856-7 531,873 bbls. 1855-’6 428,001 *“ Increase 103,872 “ In the distillation of thi sthere were consumed 7,- 978,095 bushels of corn aud other grain. Cincinna ti in addition to being the great potjt market of the country, and the great manufacturing emporium of the Western portion of the Republic, is, also, be yond all doubt, the most extensive whiskey market in the world. In the prices of cattle and hogs, a deeliue is anti < ipated the present season, on account of the abun dance of the crops wherewith to fatten them, and tiie inducements to grow t !io--e animals during the past nine months have been very strong. The number of hogs packed in the city last season was 344,512, or nearly 61,060 less than during the pre vious year. The crop of flax seed the present year is a very large one, the higlt prices obtained for it the last year or two having led to a rapid increase in its pro duction.

Retorts of the Kansas Election.— Election returns have been received from nearly every coun ty in Kansae, and the result is, every district, except the Leavenworth and Atchison Districts, has gone overwhelmingly Free State. Such a disparity of strength was scarcely ever before exhibited De tweeu two contending parties for power as is seen in the vote throughout all Kansas, except on the immediate Missouri border. Seventy to nothing, 150 to 3,210 to 0, 905 to 11, this is the way the vote runs where the polls were nit convenient of access from Missouri. We said the Free State ticket was overwhelmingly victorious except in the two dis tricts mentioned. In this we slightly erred. Ac cording to the true vote cast in this district, the Free State Party carried the day by 1,300 majori ty, out of an aggregate of about 2,300 votes. All waa right bo far, aud wound stand so except for the fraudulent returns mentioned elsewhere. Admitting, however, the Johnson county, and all fraudul :nt returns, Marcus J. Parrot is elected by about three thousand maiority, and Secretary Stanton has indicated his readiness to give him his certificate of election. Johnson county has sent up to the Secretary’s office returns giving for the county some 1,700 Pro- Slavery majority. The mass of these returns are from the Oxford Precinct, a little town on the Missouri line, or, rather, the village, what there is of it, is on the Missouri side. There are not thirty legal voters living at that Precinct, aud only some eighty were polled the first day. But the polls were kept open, or pretended to be, another day; and now the pretence is made that from a thousand to fifteen hundred votes were polled the second day. Now, according to the census of the Pro Slavery men themselves, Johnson county contains only 496 votes, and a total population of only 890 inhabitants! Os course, such monstrous returns give prima facie evidence ot being fraudulent throughout. A majori ty of 10,000 would be just as reasonable and honest from Johnson county as this 1,700 majority. We learn that Secretary Stanton openly avows his conviction that the returns are fraudulent, and, of course, under such circumstances he can give no certificates based upon them. Indeed, should an attempt be made to defraud the members rightfully elected by the people, of their seats, by the admis siu of these fraudulent returns, we think we speak advisedly when we say, that the peace of the whole Territory would be immediately and most immi nently hazarded therel y. —Laurence ( Kansas) Re publican, Oct. 15. Safety of Letters and Gold at Sea.— Mr. Jo siah Foster, of Sandwich Mass., has just brought before the public an invention of his for securing the safety of gold and valuable papers in cases where the vessel in which such matter is transport ed is lost at sea. It is called the Patent Marine Safe and Metallic Mail Bag. The Boston Adver tiser publishes the following report of the Commit tee who have examined it. “ The safe exhibited by Mr. Foster was about the size of a medium sized mail bag, and so construct ed that it must remain perfectly water tight though it should be pressed under the water and kept there for years. When filled to its utmost capacity with mail matter aud thrown overboard, it floated upon the water like a cork; and to test the extent of its buoyancy it waa afterwards loaded with two hun dred and thirty-six pounds of stone, and it was then sufficiently buoyant to buoy up two men. The loss of so large an amount of gold and the mails by the foun dering of the Central America, suggested to Mr. Foster the idea of a marine safe, which he has suc ceeded in perfecting; and which needs only to be seen, and the buoyancy 6t it tested, to convince of its utility and the importance of its being brought into general ÜBe in the transportation of mails when ever conveyed by water; and without doubt it will be substituted for the leather bags now ueed, as soon as submitted to the inspection of the Post Of fice < Department. After an examination of this safe", our astonishment at its buoyancy is only ex ceeded by our astonishment that something of the kind has not long since been introduced.” The Land Speculators —Au article in the Chi cago Tribune informs us that shoals of people from New England and the Middle Stateß are travelling ‘ Westward to look after the farm lands and build ing lots, in which they invested so much money last summer and spring, at a time of great inflation, or upon the security of which they lent money to wes tern men. The Tribune adds, that these invest ments are hopeless now, and will be so for years to come. But this probably depends upon whether the holders of such lands and lots continue to expect good prices. The article we quote from says that the amount of land now for sate is immense, in fact, out of all proportion to the demand at present, or any prospective demand for the next ten years. As for the building lots nine-tenths of them might as well be sacrificed at once by their owners for any price they will bring. From the tone of the western papers it is quite clear that none of the land now held by speculators will be saleable for a long time to come, unless thrown into the market for what ever it will bring. Then emigrants and settlers will be attracted to the regions which the eager ap petites of speculators had swallowed up. But if not, then the next tide of emigration will pass over them entirely and they will be forgotten. —Baltimore American. Steam Going a Whaling. —lt is said that the whale ship America, which sailed from New Bed ford on Wednesday of last week, took out a steam whaleboat. The machinery consists of two oscilla ting engines placed in the stern, which drive a pad dle wheel. ‘This boat can be propelled at the rate of twelve miles an hour—two more than the usnal speed of the whale. It is about two feet longer and one foot wider than the ordinary whale boats. The steam generating cylinders can reeist a pressure of 1,000 pounds to the square inch. This innovation evidently contemplates an abandonment of the old method of approaching the whale by stealth, and in a long chase will be a great labor-saving ma chine, but it is doubtful if the experienced blubber hunters will trust themselves in a steamboat to tight whales. Safety in this business depends upon ce lerity of movement, and while an ordinary whale boat, managed by skilled oarsmen, would “sta. n ail’’ and evade the uplifted flukes of the whale, a sciew steamboat would be knocked higher than a kite, boiler and alh To tow the whale boats it would, no doubt, be very serviceable, leaving Jack in good wind to tackle the fish after he had reached the scene of action. Pepper— Pepper is an almost universal condi ment. Black pepper irritates and inflames the coatings of the stomach, red pepper does not, it excites, but does not irritate, consequently it should be used instead of black pepper. It was known to the Banians, and has been in use in the from time immemorial, as it corrects flatulence which attends the large use of vegetable food. Persons in health do not need any pepper in their food. But to those of weak and languid stomachs, it is manifold more hea.thful to use cayenne pepper at meals than any form of wine, brandy or beer that can be named, because it stimulates without the reaction of sleepiness or debility.— Journal of Health. A Portland Mas in the Slave Trade. —The Havana correspondent of the New York Tribune, under date of October 8, says that a cargo of slaves has been landed at San Juan de la Bemedios, from the brig Abbot Deveroux, which “oetens vely be longed to an American, glorying under the name of Dnnkwater, a Portland man, who purchased and cleared several other vessels. The Deveroux land ed her cargo without any difficulty, numbering nearly four nnndred souls, and was destroyed.'’ It is stated that the captain of the brig received $30,- 000 for the rouud voyage. The writer adds: “The J. H. Becord, former.y of Newport, and also of Com. Drink water's fleet, is repo-ted as having landed her cargo. For this I cannot vouch as yet; though 1 do not consider it at ail impropablo.” Short Credits.—The wholesale dealers in silk and millinery goods in Boston hare come to an agreement not to give more than four months credit.

The house is new, and Ido not think it possibly can be involved intsuch a heavy amount.— The assets will not be large, in proportion to any amount that may appear, as the debt is incurred by dabbling in our new stock creations—where fancy had all, and reality nothing.

The Utah Troops. —Tin; War Department is in receipt of despatches from the Utah expedition, the first received since their departure from Fort Leavenworth. Considerable uneasiness had been entertained by the Department respecting these troops. The despatch received is from Lieutenant E. B. Alexander, commanding Tenth Infantry.— He says: I respectfully submit the following remarks upon the march of the eight oompanies of the Tenth In fantry under my command from Fort Leavenworth to this place, a distance of six hundred and twenty five miles. The battalion started from Fort Leaven worth on the 18th of July, and being composed mainly of recruits, the length of the marches for the first four or five days was inconsiderable, not ex ceeding teu or twelve miles. The men, however, became accustomed to marching very soon, and un less the heat was powerful very few fell out. The march across the prairie country from Fort Leaven worth to the Platte river was made within the time allowed by Gen. Harney’s orders, and was, per haps, the most exempt from loss and accident ever known. Willi a train of ninety-seven wagons and over six hundred auimals, but five mutes have been lost—one by straying and four by death—and not a wagon has been broken. The journey along the Platte was one of great ease, as the road is good and grass abundant everywhere. The men and animals improved in strength remarkably. The sick report has never exceeded twenty, and has averaged twelve. This, in a command of five hundred, is very small. No serious sickness has prevailed, though four cases of billious fever, produced by treat alterations of temperature and miasma of the Platte bottom, have occuired. These cases the As sistant Surgeon has reoouimended to be left at this >ort. Col. Hoffman having kiudly consented, I lave determined to leave them until the two com panies under the command of Col. Smith come up, when they can be brought on. The order of march has been strictly preserved, and the column marched by platoon ponts with reg ular intervals, at.the rate of ninety-six or one hun dred steps per minute. The camping arrangements have aleo been as regular as the ground would ad mit, Having in view the proper guard over the mules and wagons. I have adopted the plan of de tailing a company for guard, and posting it in the most convenient place, by which the commander is enabled to post pickets and seutinels so as to guard every approach. This plan saves many details, les sens labor, and excites a spirit of emulation which insures great vigilance. The officers of the command have attended faith fully to their duties, and many have Shown great powers of enduring fatigue, being on foot all the time. On the sth the march te Utah will be re sumed ; and although the accounts of the road aB regards grass will make it more difficult than any thing we have yet experienced, 1 hope to give a fa vo-ab'e report upon my arrival at Salt Luke City. I may be excused in expressing the pride I feel in the successful accomplishment, by my regiment, of to muoh of its first arduous duty; and 1 confi dently express the belief that unless some very un forseen accident occurs, it will reach the Teriitory of Utah in a condition of perfect efficiency and dis cipline. Hard Times among the New England Facto ries.—The Lowell (Mass.) Courier, from personal inquiries of the officers of the different companies, presents the following view of the different manu facturing corporations in that city: The Hamilton Manufacturing Company are run ning 13,000 out of-18,000 spindles, and run but five days in each week. The print works are in full ope ration, but run only five days. On the Appleton two thirds of the works are in operation, but they run only five days per week. The Lawrence have stopped 650 out of 1.820 looms, and expect to stop 125 more within a short time, They are now running six days, but expect soon to stop one day per week. Notice has been given that there would be a reduction in the price of labor, but the per cent has not been fixed upon. The looms stopped on this corporation were those on which heavy cloths were made, so that the re duction in the number of pounds manufactured is nearly one-half. On the Suffolk one-half of the works are stopped, and the others run six days per week. They have not reduced the price of labor, but expect to very soon. The whole number of looms on the Tremont is 760, of which they have stopped 374. They have re ceived notice that the wages will reduced 121-2 per cent, commencing on the November payment. On the Merrimac one mill, in which sheetings have been made, is stopped. All the other works are running six days per week. They have reduced the price of labor, but the redaction is not the same on all the work. It is from 10 to 16 per cent, and will ake effect in November. All the mills on the Boott are stopped, and we could not learn when they are to start up again. On the Massachusetts 350 out of 1527 looms are stopped, and the others are running but four days per week. On the Prescott 1630ut of 671 looms are stopped, and the others are running but four days per week. Os the Middlesex Company we are authorised to make no statement, except that they have not yet decided what they shall ao. Ihe Lowell Company have stopped all their cot ton works. Something more than three-lburths of tbe works in the carpet department are runningfive days in the week. This company has also given no tice that the wages will be reduced. The reduetion will not be uniform, but varies on different kinds of woik. An English Triblte to Capt. Herndon. —Tbe Liverpool Poet pays the following tribute to the bravery of our lamented countryman : While the heart swells with pride at the recite’ of deeds of heroism done by our countrymen in India, it is no less grateful to see, equally high qualities manifested under difficulties by our kindred men beyond the Atlantic. The wreck of the Central America, fatal and painful as it was, presents in stances of composure, eooiness, consideration, and . real heroism, which dignify humanity. The cap tain of the Til-fated vessel was truly of a noble na ture. He died in the discharge of a duty which he might have in part neglected with impunity; hut in him the finest part of ancient chivalry appeared. In the presence of peril, the women and children were his first oare. He prepared to enforce this in tention, but it was unnecessary. The passengers and crew were as resolute, determined and humane as himself -, they seconded him in everything, and even the women were reedy to do the work of men in aiding him. Some time ago, Captain Hail, we think it was, wrote the account of two wrecks—an English and a French vessel. The conduct of the Englishman contrasted finely with the Frenchman; they were obedient and fearless. Capt. Herndon and his men behaved not less nobly ; and their con duct and the conduct es the passengers speak irre sistibly in favor of the high toße of tbe American mind. Their country ought to be proud of them; all Christendom wifi praise them. PSESSCRE IN THE HoRSE MARKET.

VOL. LXX.—NEW SERIES VOL. XXI. NO. 44. Edward Everett on Agriculture. Hon. Edward Everett delivered an Address be l fore the New Y'ork State Agricultural Society, at Buffalo, on Friday, the 9th instant. It closes with the following eloquent and instructive paragraphs : A greater than Burke in this country, our own peerless Washington, with a burden of publio care on his mind such as has seldom weighed upon any other person,—conscious, through a considerable part of his career, that the success not only of the American Revolution, but of the whole great ex periment of republican government, was dependent in no small degree upon his eouree and conduct, — yet gave throughout his life, in time of peace, more of his time and attention, as he himself in one of his private letters informs us, tothesuper ntendence of his agricultural operations, than to any other object. “It will not be doubted,” says he, in his htot annual message to Congress, (7th of Deoember, L9b,) “that with reference either to individual or national welfare, agriculture is of primary impor tance. In proportion as nations advance in popula tion aud other circumstances of maturity, this truth becomes more apparent, and renders the cul tivation of the soil more and more an object of public patronage * * * Among tho means which have been employed to this end, none have been attended with greater success than the establishment of boards, charged with collecting and diffusing information, and enabled, by premiums and small pecuniary aids, to encourage aud assist a sprit of discovery and improvement.” On the 10th of December, 1799, Washington ad dressed a long letter to the manager of hisfai ms the last elaborate production of his pen,—transniit iug a plan, drawn up on .hirty written folio pages, containing directions for their cultivation for seve ra. years to come. Iu seven days trom the date of this letter his own venerated form was “sown a natural body, to be raised a spiritual body.” Nearly all the successors of Washington in the Presidency ot the United States, both the deceased and the living, passed, or are passing, their closing years m the dignified tranquility of rural pursuits One of the most distinguished of them, Mr Jefler son, invented the hill side plow. Permit me also to dwell tor a moment on the more recent example of the four great statesmen of the North, the West,and the South, whose names are the boast and orna ment of the last generation, Adams, Calhoun, Clay and Webster, who forgot the colossal anxieties, the stern contentious, the herculean labors, and the thankless sacrifices of the publio service, in tbe re tirement of the country and the calm aud healthful pursuits of agriculture. One of these four great men it was not my fortune personally to behold in the enjoyment of these calm aud national pleasures; but I well remember hearing him say, with a radiant countenance, that there was nothing in the triumohs or honors of publio lite so grateful to his feelings” as his return to his home in Carolina, at the close of the session of Congress, when every individual on hie plantation, not excepting the humblest, came out to bid him welcome and to receive the cordial pressure of his hand. 1 was often the witness of the heartfelt satisfaction which Mr. Adams enjoyed on his ancestral acres, especially iu contemplating the trees planted by himself, thousands of which are now scattered over the estate. While he ministered iu this way to the gratification aud service of other times, he feit that he was discharging no small por tion of the debt which each generation owes to its successors. At Ashland, in 1829, I rode over his extensive farm, with the illustrious orator and states man of the West; and as the “ swinish multitude,” attracted by the salt which he liberally scattered from his pocket, came running about us, iu the beautiful woodland pasture, carpeted with that fa mous Kentucky blue grass, he good huinoredly com pared them to the office-seekers, who hurry to Wash ington at the commencement of an administration, attract ed by the well flavored relish of a good salary. Mr. Webster, reposing on bis farm at Marshfield, from the toils of the forum, and tho confliots of the Senate, resembled the mighty ocean which, after as sauitiug the cloudy battlements of the sky, with all the seething artillery of Lis furious billows, when the gentle southwest wind sings truce to the elemental war, calls home his rolling mountains to their peace ful levely, aud mirrors the gracious heavens in his glassy bosom. * * * * One more suggestion, my friends, and I relieve your patienoe. Asa work of art, I know few things more pleasing to the eye, or mere capable of affording scope and gratification to a taste for the beautiful, than a well situated, well cultivated farm. The man of refinement will hang with no ver-wearied gaze on a landscape! by Claude or Salvator; the price of a section of the most fertile land in the West would not pureba e a few square feet of the canvass on which these great artists have depicted a rural scene. But nature has forms and proper tious beyond the painter's skill; her diviue pencil touches the landscape with living lights and Bhadows never mingled on his pallet. What ia there on earth which can more entirely charm the eye, or gratify the taste, than a noble farm ? It stands upon a southern elope, gradually rising with variegated ascent from the plain, sheltered from the north-wes tern winds by woody heights, broken here aud there with moss-covered boulders, wliich impart variety And strength to the outline. The native forest has been cleared from the greater part of the farm, but a suitable portion, carefully tended, remains in wood for economical purposes, and to give a pictu resque effect to the landscape. The eye ranges three-fonrths of the horizon over a fertile expanse, —bright with the cheerful waters of a rippling stream, a generous liver, or a gleaming lake—dot ted with hamlets, each with its modest spire ;—and, if the farm lies in the vicinity of the coast, a distant glimpse from the high grounds of the mysterious, everlasting sea, completes the prospect. It is situa ted off the high road, but near enough to tbe village to be accessible lo the church, school house, the post office, the railroad, a sociable neighbor, or a travel ing friend. It consists in due proportion of pasture and tillage, meadow and woodland, field and gar den. A substantial dwelling, with everything for convenience and nothing for ambition, with the fitting appendages of stable, and barn, and corn barn, and other farm buildings, not forgetting a spring-house with a living fountain of water, — iccu pies upon a gravelly knoll, a position well chosen to command the whole estate. A few acres on the front, and oh the sides of the dwelling, set apart to gratify the eye with tbe ohoicer forms of rural beauty, aro adorned with a stately avenue, with noble solitary trees, with graceful clumps, shady walks, a velvet lawn, a brook murmuring over a pebbly bed, here and there a grand rock, whoso cool shadow at sunset streams across the field; all displaying, in the real loveliness of nature, the original of those landscapes of which art in its perfection strives to give the counterfeit presentment. Animals of select breed, such as Paul Potter, and Morland, and Landseer, and Rosa Bon heur never painted, roam tire pastures or fill the hurdles and the stalls; the plough walks in rustic majesty across the plain, and opens the genial bo som of the earth to the sun aud air; nature’s holy sacrament of seed-time is solemnized beneath the vaulted cathedral sky; silent dews, and gentle I showers, and kindly suushine, shed their sweet in fluence on the teemping soil; springing verdure clothes the plain ; golden wavelets, driven by the west wind, run over the joyous wheat field ; the tall maize flaunts in her crispy leaves and nodding tas sels—while we labor and while we rest, while we wake and while we sleep, God’s chemistry, which, we cannot see, goes on beneath the clouds; myriadß and myriads of vital cells, ferment with elemental life ; germ and stalk, and leaf and flower, and silk aud tassel, and grain and fruit, grow up from the common earth; the mowing-machine and the reap er-mute rivals of human industry—perform their gladsome task; the well-piled wagon brings home the ripened treasures of tne year; the bow of pro mise fulfilled spans the foreground of the picture, aud the gracious covenant is redeemed, that while the earth remaineth, summer and winter, and heat and cold, and day and night, and seed time and har vest shall not fail. Montgomery Race — Tuesday. —The first day’s race—mile heats, best two and three—brought toge ther a considerable crowd. At the tap, there came to the score, Dr. Cassey's ch. g. John Chain, Messrs. Hunters’ ch. f. Corinne, Gen. C. Robinson’s b. f. Mary Myers, and Mr. Hereford’s b. c. Kolia. The Georgia horse was the favorite, though the two Alabame fillies were not without friends. Neith er of them, however, was on her beßt foot. When the nags came to the score, it somehow happened that they all got away without waiting for the tap. Thus it happened, that at the very outstart, the only amendment made to the Metairie rules, by our Club, was brought into practical operation. John Chain ran nearly half round the course; while waiting for him, the Judges allowed the horses at the post to be clothed. A pretty start was got, and it in ‘'ediately be came manifest that John Chain wasto take the heat. Corinne made the play at him for it; Mary Myers was next; while Kolia was distanced.

The Flower Growing from a Tumefaction. —We mentioned, a few days since, the ease of the lad Northrop, at Ithaca, upon whose deieaeed limb there grew a singular formation, like to the passion flower. Dr. Hawley, formerly of Geneva College, has written a more detailed account of this case.— The lad is from 13 to 14 years old, and has been sub ject totendernes- and disease of the hip joint, which at two years of age, resulted in extensive tumefac tion ; three years later an abscess was formed, and finally the disease caused the dislocation of the hip joiuie. For four months the patient had been una ble to move an inch in bed; abscesses have formed in tbe abdomen, through which the fecal contents of his intestines aro discharged; and his nervous sensitiveness has been Buch that he would allow no one to touch him or make an investigation, and walking acroos the floor has caused him to cry with pain. Thu- prolengation of his life wae regarded as a miracle. On the 4th inst., there was projected from the right limb, wLieh fra long time bad been greatly swol'en, a stem, on the inner side, at the edge of Ihe ifaatroenemioa muscle, rising at right angles with it, more than seven inches in height, with a flower squarely set up it, resemblin ; the Passion Flower, or the China Aster. On Wednes day the boy felt an oozing from what bad been ex pected to be an abscess, and expressed great relief. He did not permit any examination until Saturday afternoon, when a stein was seen arising at right angles with the limb, at about the height of three inches, crowned with pure whi.e buds, resembling the white buds of the orange! On being exposed to the light, the flower expanded, and assumed the color of a beautiful grayish purple.— Rock. Dem.

The New-York Earthquake.— I The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser of 6ct. 24, giveg the follow ing account of the late earthquake there: “ These be parlous times.’* Already stricken by panic from causes above ground, the deep fottnda Sd 6 e rth have shaken beneath us ;we have ea u the roar of the pent-up forces hid within this eggshell ot a world, and felt thek billows roll along toe frond ground. That is we have had an earth quake. About JJ P. M., yesterday—everybody knows the time, for it was just after bank hours—there came a shock, apparently lrom the southeast, which people at once recognized as earthquake. Those walking on the street did not feel it; those &tandin°* still felt the jar of the ground beneath them, and looked to see what furious driving omnibus made such a noise. But in buildings there was a fright.. Those on the ground floor felt the jarring and waving of the walls, and saw crockery dancing on the dinner tables, chi na rattling in the closets, stove-pipes tin one in stance) falling, while in another a dilapidated chim ney parted with a few of its topmost bricks. Th^farther up from the ground the greater the shock. In the-fourth and fifth stories there was a sensible tottering of brick walls, and tools rolled from the benches of workmen to the floor. There was a general scamper to the street , and for a mo ment all manner of questions about what hogshead of sugar had broken loose, what jib-boom of a vessel run into water-side buildings, what, fire-proof safe had fallen, what boiler had burst, or what powder magazine had blown up 1 But the borborymous (look at the dictionary) mutterings from the bowels of our common mother explained the thing, and all settled down on one conclusion—we had had an earthquake. There were some incidents, funny enough now, but people forgot to laugh at them at the time. At the Court House a trial was in progress. At that point the shock was so decided and startling that the last trump could not have emptied the room sooner. It was a general stampede. Out rushed the audience, with it went the lawyers, over railings went the jury, regardless of their solemn oath to “well and truly try,” and after them came the con stables, all pouriug down the stairs into the street, with pallid faces and shaking knees, while in ono case a person fainted. The only souls left in the court room were the- judge upon the bench, Mr. Haven one of the counsel in the case, as imper turbable as is his wont, a young lawyer who never gets in a hurry, and the witness on the stand, who was bound to die at his post. ,lu the school houses, school was very summarily dismissed, and it is fortunate that no accident oc curred in the sudden rush. So much for incidents. The duration of the shock was probably fifteen or twenty seconds. It was by far the most severe ever felt in this was universally ditiueedover the city, and was so start ling as to spread a momentary but serious conster nation. Invalids, particularly, suffered from the alarm and excitement of the moment. The Republic says : “One lady, on Michigan street, was so frightened that she lmd 30 fits in succession, and has since died. A warehouse, on the pier, had tbe foundation shaken from under il. Feople were much fright ened and astonished, and as might be expected, speculate and talk much about it.” The Lockport Journal says : “A distant shock of an earthquake, accompanied with a rumbling sound, occurred yesterday (Fri day) afternoon at 3i o’clock. The inmates in many houses on the back streets were alarmed by the movements of utensils, the rattling of dishes, and disruptions of furniture generally. The shock was noticed by hundreds of observers in this village, in the Lower Town, and at Wright’s Corners, and so far as we have heard from, in various localities throughout the country. The shock extended over a large portion of the c untry, as will be noticed by our telegraphic despatches. At Tonawauda aud Buffalo it was particularly severe.” Wreck of the Reindeer—Shocking Loss of Life.— . Monday last may be set, down as one of the most fatal days in the yea*—fatal.to life and pro perty both on land water. In the morning upward of twenty iiyes were lost by a dreadful aonfUgra tion. and before night upward of twenty more lives lay coki m the embrace of death on the shores of Lake Michigan. It was a hard day on the lakes.— It blew a most terrible gale, with a heavy, blinding snowstorm. We hear of it along Lake Michigan, up Lake Superior, and cun trace it by its work of disaster along the smres of the lower lakes. It. was only yesterday, however, that we realized to the full extent the severity of the gale. About noon of yesterday tbo propeller Mears ar rived in port from Big Point Sauble, bringing intel ligence of the wreck of the Canadian steamer Rein deer, about eight miles north of the Point. She also brought over Chas. Rowe, the mate of the schooner Alwildnr— also lost—who communicated to us some ot the particulars. On Tuesday last two men arri ved at Point Sauble almost naked, and their feet badly irozen, who informed the people of the n* igh borhood that they were firemen on board the Rein deer, and that they were the sole survivors of the entire crew, she having been wrecked the previous evening. They stated that nil day Monday a most terrific ale blew from 8. 8. W., suddenly shifting to all points of the compass with a tremendous sea running. The steamer kept up pretty well all the forenoon, but in the afternoon she shipped a heavy sea, winch extinguished the fires, aud the Captain had no resource left but to set the helm up and make for the beach. For several hours-in the even ing the hurricane and snow storm increased in fury and it was utterly impossible to see or do anything. Those on board ooula only await with anxiety the fate which they knew awaited them. At length, somewhere about midnight, the steamer struck, and almost instautly the sea broke over her, aud wash ed the whole crew into the lake, where twenty-one of them found watery graves. The two men who escaped were firemen, aud they state that they are utterly unable to relate how aud in what manner they were saved. The first they knew after she struck was when they found themselves on the rocky beach. Next day the steamer was nearly all brok en to pieces, and her timbers and cargo were strewn along the shore for miles. The Reindeer was a side wheel steamer, ; known here by sailors as a “Polly-wog.” She was ’ owned by Iloloomb At Henderson, of Montreal, and sailed from tills port on the lfifh inst., with 43,000 bushels wheat, 61 barrt-hcof tallow, ami some flour for Bt. Joseph, where she was to take on some flour and then start for Kingston. She had a crew of twenty one and two passengers. The name of the captain was Geo. Patterson, a Scotchman, who belonged to Kingston. lie was much respected by all who knew him. The name of the steward was James Henery and that of the purser, Charles Bradford ,* but these are all the name j which can be obtained of the agent of the steamer at this port. She was eight to ten years old, and was valued at from fif teen to twenty thousand dollars. The cargo was owned by Renaud & Frere, of Montreal. Both vessel ana cargo were insured. The propeller Wisconsin, Captain Hickey, arriv ed here on Thursday evening from Ogdensburgh. On Monday last he had to put into the Manitous, where kefouudthe propellers Racine and May flower. Two sail vessels were thought to have gone ashore at Glen Hai bor, nearly opposite the South Maniton Island. They were seen for some time attempting to make the harbor, but they disappear ed and itia feared they were lost. The schooner L. Whitney is reported lost on the east shore of Lake Michigan No particulars. Some fears are entertained regarding the pro pellers Pot omac and lowa, which would have to encounter the gale jn all its fury on Lake Huron. They left the Manitous on Sunday evening. The gales on Lakes Erie, Ontario and Huron has been also very severe.— Chicago Press of the 2 Uh. * A Broker’s Agent in .Difficulty. — A few days ago, an agent for one of our prominent broker firms presented some Kentucky notes at the counter of the bank, in one of the river towns in Kentucky, and politely asked for the specie. The following colloquy and incidents thereupon turned up : Officer of the Bank—“ Where are you from TANARUS” Agent—‘ That is immaterial, sir.” Officer--“ Are you a broker's agent V’ Agent—“ That’s my business.” Officer—“ Whose money is this ?” Agent—“ Mine, aud I wish to know whether you will redeem it, or whether you are broke V’ Hereupon the officer consulted with other offi cers of the bank and in a few moments afterwards the specie was counted out in half dimes, dimes, quarters and half dollars. The agent was slightly nonplussed for an instant, not being provided v/ith a black carpet-brig, but observing a suspicious gathering of outsiders in the banking-room he found there was no time to be lost and immediately com menced stuffing the precious but troublesome metal into his belt. That tilled, he stowed more into his breeches pockets until they protruded like the joles of a China pig. Next he filled his coat pockets un til they were distended like an Alderman’s paunch, and there being still more left, he was fain to con tent himself by thrusting the balance in his bosons until he looked as full breasted as a thorough bred short-horned bull. A dozen or more excited fellows of the town, very respectable looking personages withal, had by this time surrounded the agent ar and manifested A determination to bar his exit from the bank, and sternly indicated a desire that he should “shell out. 7 * Being a plucky fellow, the agent simply remarked, “Gentlemen, you will oblige me by permitting me to retire.” No one moved. The latter reiterated his desire with a slight emphasis, approaching a de mand. Still no one moved. The agent now per ceiving the futility of amiable requests, simply • drew out a Bowie, and remarked quietly, but witn a smack of ugliness, “You will please to get out of my way, lam going out of that door.” He went. When he got into the street, liowever, he was beset with other annoyances. The populace jeered and threatened him. Home proposed to egg him, and to compel him to “shell out,” at all hazards. All remained a convenient distance from him, however. iMeantime, his breeches pocket, unaccustomed to euch tremendous strains, began to yield, and the ageut, feeling the weight, of his rcßjxniHimlities ac cumulate, got anxious and began to bweat. At every step somebody rushed at him. At last he was compelled to use both hands in sustaining his pockets, and so be plodded through the streets of the town until he arrived at tbe hotel where he so journed. There he was comparatively ease, and had opportunity.to procure convenient means for carrying Ids troublesome load. The people of the town also refrained. from farther threatening de monstrations, and the agent left rejoicing at bis es cape. He states that it is quite natural to suppose that his nervona system was considerably excited. [Cincinnati Commercial . The Octorer Snow Storm.—The occurrence of a violent enow storm in October is an unusual event in this climate. We Lave already reported that in several sections of the country siiow has fallen.
