The Duke extolled the conduct of the British urmv iu India, and advo cated its ni'.inteirmce in an efficient state of war like ostobli: hment.

Mr. Dallas, after making some remarks appro priate to Iho e vent of the clay, sptke as follows in regard to the Indian niui'r-y: Sympathy has boon invoked from foreign nations in reference to the state of affairs in India. lam not here 1 > speak ft t the extent my government or the people of the Vnit. and States sympathize with the struggle of Engkvjci against India.

Scott has just issued ‘‘General Orders I No. XIV,’ announcing to the army the more re ( .Tit combats with hostile Indians, in which the gal ! laVit conduct of the tr ops under, in most cases, circumstances of great hardship and privation, is entitled to high approbation, at the same time em bracing tue occasion to notice ail those of a similar character not mentioned in his general order No. 1 oi the current series, which have occurred since i ;Le beginning of last year, and to which, since the publication of that order, his attention has been di rected. Among those whose gallantoonduct is com mended are Lieut. Cols. Buchanan and Steptoe, C&pt. G. H. Stewart, Lieut. Wheaton, and nu merous other officers. We make the following ex tracts : April 4th, 18-57. First Lieut. Walter 11. Jenifer, second cavalry, with thirteen men of company B, of that regiment, after a search of thirteen days and a march ot nearly three hundred miles, came upon a frer-b trail of Indians near the head of the north fork of the Neuces river. Texas; and as the trail led into a rocky country almost impracticable for ravaby, be dismounted, left his horses with a guard and continued the pursuit with only seven men.— Alter a tedious march of four miles he suddenly came upon a camp occupied by from eighty to one hundred Indians. Approaching it under cover to within two hundred and fifty yards, and he and his little parly being discovered, they were attacked by all the warriors in the camp, and threatened at 1 the same time by a party returning to it with | 1. cses. He repulsed the Indian* with a less of two killed and one wounded It being then night he i withdrew his men, rejoined the horses and returned to the attack the next day, but in the meanwhile j the Indiana dispersed. For the last three days this ! ri> ‘aehment Lari no rations, Laving been out seven teen days * June 27th, 1857.—The southern column, com i mandeti by Lieut. Col Dixon 8. Miles, of the Gila ! expedition under Col. B. L E. Bonneville, 3d In i fail try. composed of detachment* from companies B, D, G, and K, Ist Dragoons, B,Gand K, Mount *'d Rffie.nen, (J, F, and K. 3d Infantry, and B and I, 8t h Infantry, with a company of guides and spies, con.pofc*: sos Puebla Indians, and Captain Bias Lucero’s Mexicans, iu all some four hundred men, liter a march of twelve days from the depot on the Gila river, New Mexico, came upon a band of Coyotero and Mogollen Apaches, killed twenty j four; t*>ok twenty-seven prisoners; captured or ; destroyed all their property, and “rescued a Mexi can boy from captivity.” The following named ! officers and men were wounded, most of them ! slightly : ! t Dragoons—2d Lieut. Benjamin F. Davis, Cor poral Andersen, (twice, once with an arrow and once with a bullet.) and Private Donnelly, compa ny G. 3d Infantry—2d Lieut. Alexander E. Steen, Ser geant James Heron, company K, and Privates Johnson and McNamara, company C. Very special mention is made by all the superior com manners of Captain Richard 8. Ewell, Ist Dra goons, to whom the credit is given of planning the ac ion and breaking the enemy. Col. Bonneville gives “much credit” to 2d Lieut. A. McD. McCook, 2d Infantry, for “the admirable manner in which he managed his Puebla Indians.” The general in chief also refers in complimeul ary terms to the brave conduct of Major, Sherman, of the 3d Artillery, and 2d Lieut. Win. C. Spencer, 2d Infantry. Mag raw’s Wagon Rond Survey. It has already been mentioned that Mr. Lauder, who is connected as chief engineer with Magraw’s wagon road survey, passed through St. Louis on his way to Washington on Saturday last The St. Louis Republican says: This gentleman, who is a well known civil engi neer and explorer, distinguished himself by a very during trip across the continent during the summer of the Sioux War, with a party cf four men, only ono of whom arrived with him at the Missouri riv er lie is alno mentioned as the author of several able reports to Congress on the subject of a Pacific railroad. This gentleman liab performed since the 15th day of June last, the unprecedented teat of riding 4,400 miles, much of toe distance iu unexplored mountain passes, aud all in rough field service, without a tent, or ordinary baggage, in the short, space of four and a half mouths, including eighteen camp days. He comm need with a party of thirteen men, four of whom returned with him to the starting point, at Independence, Mo. Many of the original party were disabled by illness, aud some remain in the mountains, or are ou thier way to the settlements.* Win. U. Wagner, John 11. Ingle, Calvin J. Crocker and Alex. Mitchell are the names of these who ar rived with Mr Lander. This severe labor was performed for the purpose of selecting (he shortest practicable route for the new wagon road, prior to the arrival of the working train in charge of Superintendent Magruw. From scarcity of grass and other obstacles not foreseen by inexperienced parties, the main working train only arrived at the South Pass in season to go into wint er quarters, where it now is. The Mormons having burned all the grass on the southern wintering grounds, the wagon road ex pedition lias selected a camp on Wind river. It is surrounded by herds of buffalo and elk, with which, in the event of failure of other means ofsubsistauce the train may be supplied. The same paper learns that in consequence of the destruction of the army trains of provisions by the Mormons, the eastern mountaineers were disposed to hold articles of subsistence at a high price. Flour was thirty dollars a hundred at Platte bridge, one hundred and twenty-five miles beyond Fort Laramie, and rising, and a general belief prevail ed in the country that hostilities were commenced. The military forces were in high spirits, and though traveling, with every prospect of enduring great hardships, enthusiastic to a man, and prepared for tho worst. The Republican adds : The explorations cf the advance party of the wagon road expedition had proved of great ser vice to the command. The entire region between the Salt Lake and Snake river, the South Pass and Thousand Spring Valley, connecting the work of St anbury and Fremont, and hitherto unexplored, had been surveyed and mapped; sixteen mountain passes examined; all thetributarka of the upper Green river defined to their sources; the great Wahsatch chain found to consist of four distinct ranges. Numerous supplies of grass, wood and water had been discovered, ana various wagon routes, two of which avoid the Grand Desert of the Sandy, and one seven days shorter travel in a dis tance of five hundred miles than any previously known. These may be mentioned as some of the results of the explorations. Notes by Mr. E. Miriam— The long silence ob served by Mr. E. Meriam since his illness has at length been broken, by the publication of the fol lowing notes, showing that his mind is still occupied by scientific subjects : SI’I'SIDEKCg CF THE LAND OM THK C)AST OF Lono Island and Nkw Jersey. —Professor Cook, f'Mvu’gers College, New Brunswick, New Jersey, one of tic State geologists, at the meeting of the Sclentitlc Convention at Montreal, in August last, read a paper on the subsidence of the land on the ci of Long I-ianciaud New Jei'sey, a printed copy of which ho ha? been o kind as to send me. — Major Dt-latield, of the U. S. Engineers, has given alt cut ion to that subject, amt so has Professor Ken wick ; the two latter with particular reference to the preservation of the harbor of New York. The sub ject is one of great importance os connected with navigation and the preeervaticn ot th * harbor of New Y;.k,andwe arc very glad that Prol. Cook lias tnken hold of the subject, which his researches iu making a geological survey of the sea shore por tion of New Jersey, has enabled him the better to understand. Prof 88or Cook says: “At several places in $ mtheru New Jersey an enormous amount of white cedar timber is found buried iu the salt water,sound and lit for use, and a considerable business is car ried on in mining t Lis timber and splitting it into Singles for market. **•*#* * * By probing the marsh with an iron rod, the workmen find where the solid timber lies, and then removing the eurfaoe sods and roots, they manage to work iu the mud amt water with long one-handled saws, arid cut off the logs, which as they arc loosened, rise and float, and of course arc easily managed. The timber is n< t water-logged at all, but retains its buo yancy ; and the removal of that nearest the surface, releases that which is Uelow, aud it rises, so tlm* a new supply is constantly coming up to the workmen in this way a single piece of swamp which is below tide le\ei, bao been worked for fifty years past, and Mill gives profitable returns. The timber is found lying in every direction, some appearing to have been blown down by the wind, and some to havedisd and fallen after it was partially decayed. * * * * In digging a well iu the marsh at Dennisvil’e, af.xd or two of marsh mud was forced through, and then swamp earth or muck quite down to the gravelly bottom. Most of the timber tound was cedar, but at the bottom and fast ia the hard ground was gum and magnolia “ On the bor dew of Onondaga lake where the public salines now are, there are several tiers of cedar eturnps beneath the surfeoe, one above the other. The Weather at the Antipodes. —Our asso ciate observer at the antipodes, after an absence from here of four years and three months, has re turned home. lie has been near eight months on the voyage via Manila and St Helena. The weath er a* the antipotes is unlike that of our climate.— No snow fell there during the term of near four years, and but one earthquake occurred; but the heat during the prevalence of North wind occasion ally rose tb the line of cue hundred and thirty (130) degrees of Fahrenheit's sca’e. When the heat wes intense, cattle and even human being? would resort to immersion iu the water to avoid the heat. Crocke ry on the shelves, and marble mantle pieces became so heated that it was unpleasant to cear the hand on the heated surface. Brooklyn Heights, Nov 17, lsi>7 E M. Ct’Rtors Physical Phenomenon —A Young .Min Sf'-uck Deaf, Dumb and blind. —Ansel Bow en. a young man residing in Westerly, R. 1., wes the subject of a curious physical phenomenon, a short time slnoc. On the 29th of October, having some business to transact in another village a short distance from Westerly, be was proceeding to trans act it, and before he entered the place, while walk ing along by the road side, he suddenly felt as though a dark cloud was passing athwart his face, and the next instant be was stricken entirely blind. In a moment more he lost the use of his speech, so that by ail hi# endeavors he was absolutely unable to ut ur a single sound. To crown all. his calamities were increased by the ‘.■vs of hi* sense of hearing, which instantly left him, a u then he was without the power to see his I ray. to call for assistance, or to evade danger by Cv tt i:g 1 u: of the way, not knowing what was next to happen- He stood like a stone, till luckily one - > companion*, passing that way. saw Bowen, u went to spuak with him, but he receiver no L? er ,, -hook him ;he turned him round ; but . t ‘ t l ,? r *^ r opened his eyes, but pointed to conve??’ aLOL l -* b** eyes and ears.

Gen. D. H. Welh will forward this and receive any communication you may have to make. Very respectfully, Bkighah Young, Governor and Superintendent of Indian Affairs. The following is the proclamation referred to by Brigham Young: Proclamation by the O over not. Citizens or Utah: —We are invadud by a hostile force, who are evidently assailing us to ac- C'.mplish our overthrow and destruction. For the lust twenty five years we huve trusted officials of the government, from constables and justices, to judges, Governors, and Presidents, only to be scorned, held in derision, insulted and betrayed. Our bouses have been plundered aud then burned, our fields laid waste, our principal men butchered while under the pledged faith of the government for their safety and our lamiliea driven from their homes to find that shelter in the barren wilderness and that pro tection among hostilo savages which were denied them in the boasted abodes of Christianity and civilization. The constitution of our common country guaran tees unto us all that we do now or have ever claim ed. If the constitutional rights which pertain unto us as American citizens were extended to Utah according to the spirit and meauing thereof, end fairly and impartially administered, it is all that we could ask —all that we have ever asked. Our opponents have availed themselves of preju dice existing against us, because of our religious faith, to send out a formidable host to accomplish our destruction. We have had no privilege nor op portunity of defeudiug ourselves from the false, foul and unjust aspersions against us before the na tion. The government haft not condescended to cause an investigating committee or other person to be sent to inquire into aud ascertain the truth, as is customary in such cases. We know those asper sions to be false -, but that avails us nothing. \Ve are condemned unheard, and forced to an issue with an armed mercenary inob, which has been sent against us at the instigation of anonymous letter writers, ashamed to father the base, slanderous falsehoods which they have given to tho public—of corrupt officials, who have brought false accusa tions against us to screen themselves in their own infamy, aud of hireling priests and howling editors, who prostitute the truth for filthy lucre’s sake. The issue which has thus been forced upon ns compels us to resort to the great first law of self’ preservation, and stand in our own defence—a right guaranteed unto us by the genius of the insti tions of our country, and upon which the govern ment is based, Our duty to ourselves, t J our faini lies, requires us not to tamely subserve ourselves. Our duty to our country, our holy religion, our God, to freedom and liberty, requires that we should njt quietly stand still and see those letters forging around us which are calculated to enslave, and bring us iu subjection to an unlawful military despotism, such as oan only emanate in a country of constitu tional law, from usurpation, tyranny and oppres sion. Therefore I, Brigham Young, Governor and Su pi rintendent of Indian Affairs for the Territory of Utah, in the name of the people of the United States, in the Territory of Utah, forbid, First—All armed forces of every description from coining into this Territory, under any preteuee what ever. Second—That all the forces in said Territory hold themßelves ill readings to march at a moment’s no tice to repel any and all such invasion. Third —Martial law is hereby declared to exist iu thiH ‘Territory from and after the publication of this proclamation, and no person Bhall be allowed to pass or re pass into or through or from this Territo ry without a permit from the proper officer.

Johnston, of the second cavalry, dated Oct. 13, 1857, ou the Sweet Water, in which he says “the governor's es cort is three days’ march’’ behind bim, with two companies of dragoons. “The express man says that Col. Alexander would attempt to reach the val ley of Utah by the Bear river but Col. Johnston can see no reason for this, as the route is longer, ex cepting that it is feared that the Mormons have burnt the grass “If,” lie adds, “I could communi cate with Col. Alexander, 1 would direct him to take a good position for the winter at Ham's Fork. The road is beset between this and Ham’s Fork with companies of Mormons, so that it is doubtful whether I shall be able to communicate with Col. Alexander. ’ • A History Full of Reality. — Attempted Drowning Case. —We gave the particulars yester day morning of two attempts of a woman residing iu the rigion of the Miam canal and Twelth street to commit suicide by throwing herself into the canal, but was dragged out both times by persons near at hand. A party conversant with her history give? us a few incidents in her past life that are rather in teresting. At the age fifteen her father died in a village in Western New York, leaving a snug competence for both mother and daughthers, suffi cient to protect them from want for many years.— soothed the grief of tbe widow, and in a year or two ehe married a second husband, who soon appropria ted all the avails of Ihe property, and left the ophana to work their own way m a’cold aud uncaring world. At seventeen the would-be suicide of yes terday martied an old bachelor, more for home than affection, who in a year left her a widow with SIO,OOO, deposited iu money and securities in his brother’s hands, and depending upon his honor to pay it over as it should be needed. In a year the brother re ported the estate exhausted and bankrupt. Two or three years after the lady again manned a widower, who left her at his death some $30,000 in money, stocks and property. She was then wealthy enough: lived in good style wa? a gay aud beautiful woman, in the prime of life. Honest and confiding, she trusted others to do her business, and, a? a consequence, found her self homeless and penniless in a brief period. With little courage or energy she sought relatives at the West, and after buffeting about from one city to an other for a season, disheartened at the trials of the world, she married again in Cincinnati—not as she had before thrice maae her bridal bed, with happy surroundings, but she wedded far beneath her form er position, and year after year carried both deeper in the scale of degradation. The husband indulged daily in liquid p otations, that mr.de him a brute ; the wife attempted to drown present care and remem brances of the past in the bowl. From a decent home to a less comfortable one was a natural conse quence, and from that to a shanty a necessity.— Hard times came on apace : poverty and want made life a burden ; and sick, tired and desperate, she at tempted tc pat an end to life’s troubles by self de struction, as* before related.— Cincinnati Gaz. 14/fc From Sierra Leone—The Re Opening of the Slave Trade. —Captain Tuffts has furnished copies of the Sierra Leone New Era, of September 21, in which we find some interesting statements of the sad effects of the attempt of the French Emperor to export negroes from the coast of Africa to his W est India Colonies, under the came of free laborers, for the term of ten years. The New Era says the great stimulus given to the slave trade by this transaction is producing great evil in the Yoruba and other countries where its influence is felt, and i3 uprooting all the good done in three years of peace. Already the Abbeokutas, who last year brought 1,500 tons of palm oil from Logos to sell, have th s year only brought 500 tons, ana the unwilliDg peo ple have been forced to follow their chiefs to war in order to feed the demaEd for slaves at Whydab. The unwillingness of the bulk ot the inhabitants of that interesting town to abandon their legi:imate commerce and their cotton plantations, may be gathered from a proclamation of the war-chiefs of the Abberkatcn, in which they declare that in order to procure a large army for the Abbeokutas war. soon to be undertaken, trade must be stopped now. and that during the war nothing must be soid and nothing bought. No canoes, except those of missionaries, who do not trade, wili be allowed to appear upon the river. Death upon the 6pot is the penalty of disobedience. This, continues the New Era. Is the result of a revival of the slave trade. The people of loaddan, a town of large pooulation. are now preparing to attack the people of Jaboo, who furnisued during the palm oil season large quanti. ties of oiL The treaty with France for the suppression of the slave trade expired in 1855, and even if in force, would not cover this government speculation.

The London commercial correspondent ct tue , Manchester Guardian, writing ou Friday evening, November 6, says : The advance in the Bank rate of discount yester day. has necessarily claimed some attention in mer cantile circles to-day : but its interest is secondary to the American advices, which are in the present instance more unfavorable than before, and t*ad to diminish the hope of matters righting themselves so speedily as was expected. The state of the pro duce market is, at the same time, very unsatisfac tory, yesterday’s fall iu prices bting from 10 to 15 per cent, in several articles, making the total cline within the last two months considerable. Not withstanding all these considerations, and the pro bability of the Bank returns proving unfavorable, there is no want of confidence in the general soundness and stability of tra e: and thus, notwith standing our difficulties, it is considered that, witu proper prudence and forbearance, they will finally be overcome. As the advance in the bank rate is to stop the drain upon this country for gold, and it suffices to effect that object, it is manifest that it is made not with any view of arresting unsound trade, but tor a temporary purpose, and its duration cannot be long maintained. Money* is extraordinarily abun dant, and therefore, while -.ccommodation is af forded to the extent required, the real fact is clearly arrived at, that the whole question now agitating the public mind, is only a matter of two or three per cent for a brief period. As regards the nected with the American Irate, they, it B tow, have to contend with the suspension of remittances an interruption to their business which neceamniy places impediments in their way, but ares rally insurmountable.

W® knofwof j one mercantile house which, lion of consols, has pledged the whole in the Slock Exchange, at from 5 dawn to 4 per cent. They are there placed independent of the charge of 9 per cent, in the commercial market. The loau is renewed from account to account. The jobbers have been only too happy to r cover this supply of stock. The Guardian of Nov. 7, has the following re marks on the Manchester “markets for manufac tures” up to the evening of the 6th: On Tuesday eveniug we had to report a very anxious state of the public mind, and an increasing stagnation of business, with lower aiid more irregu lar prices Tiießo features became afterward more marked; and they were further aggravated on Thursday by the American advices, and still more by the advance in the rate of discount to 9 per cent. This start ling measure, though not expected, has imparted no smalt degree of intensity to the universal feeling of cauttousnees. Everybody is more strongly impress ed with the prudence, indeed the necessity, of ab staining from the purchases a a much as possible at the present moment. To see that their liabilities, and consequently their risks, are rapidly narrowing, is what all parties are most solicitous about. Business is, therefore, pretty nearly at a dead lock, and, as to prices, we are hardly warranted in repeating the phrase that “they are merely nominal,” lor, indeed, quotations seem to be almost out of the question. It is, however, certain that terms obtained by produ cers on Tuesday cannot now be repeated. Spmuens and manufacturers are now compelled rapidly to lessen their production. In every locality tins process is being carried out, in varying degree, and a great impulse has been given to it the last two days. There is no sympathy here with the protest against the restrictive measures of the Bank of England, which are said to be got up among some of the Liverpool and Glasgow merchants. It is seen that those ’measures are necessary, not only for the safely of the bank, but in order to prevent greater ultimate injury to our oommeree than any to which it ntay be subjected hy this severe regimen. We find that our capitalists are almost to a man averse to any un wise relaxation, which can only spare us present suf sering by sparing a great deal of incurable uusound uess for mote violent development ou another and an early day—an unsoundness which natural luws are just now attacking in their own rough but wholesome fashion. A stem adherence to a sound princple is quite compatible with a wllingness to co op rate in enabling any bank or mercantile house that is really solvent to get through a tangle of tem porary difficulties, arising from the immediate una vailableness of unquestionable resources. The city article of the London Times, datedTliurs day evening, Nov. 5, says: The Bank of England have to-day raised their charge for discount from 8 per cent., which was adopted on the 19th ult., to the unprecedented rate of 9 t*ct. The public were fully prepared for the measure, and in some quartets it had been anticipated eveu that the movement would have been to 9 per cent, for bills not having more than 60 days to run, and 10 per cent, for longer descriptions. That the latter restriction would not have proved too strong seems already to have been indicated by the fact that the demand has shown little, it any, diminution. As the public have now an amount cf notes in their hands equal to any- recent average, and business has been lor some time undergoing rapid contraction, this continued pressure must be mainly c&Ußed by alarm and the consequent desire of every person to be over supplied. The question whether any further rise will be ne cessary will therefore greaily depend upon the ex tent to which this action is carried. If the mercan T tile community, instead of recognizing from what they have already witnessed of the course of the bank that they are in no danger of being suddenly Bhut out from” accommodation, will pertinaciously rush to obtain a double share, any inconvenience they may sustain will be of tbeir own creating. The bank can undertake to provide for wants, but not tor fears. There is not the slightest provocative to panic, and whether Bueb a humiliating exhibition of national iguoracce and folly can now take place is a question rational people would hardly have enter tained a few weeks back. The old opponents of the Bank Charter Act, how ever, are beginning to bustle ia tho storm, and it is impossible to feel certain on any point. One of their great modes of creating fright is by pointing to the low state of the reserve of unemployed notes, as if when that is exhausted the bank would be ob liged to cease discounting altogether. But the fact is that the bank could, under such circumstances, still continue their discounts on as great a scale as ever, since their bills receivable each day of course ou the average briDg, in as large a total as they are or dinarily asked to let out. They could not increase the scale, but no oue will suppose that with a con traction of bueiuess in ail quarters any increase can be required. There is consequently not the shadow of a pretext for any cry for government palliatives. Some persons who have shown every disposition to assist in allaying idle apprehensions have never theless suggested that government should intimate their readinees to grant a conditional power of re laxation in the same manner as in 1847—that is, by a notification that upon payment of a certain rate, sufficiently high to prevent needless applications, the public should be allowed to have any extent of discount they might require, without regard to the increase or decrease of the stock bullion. But the public have never in the present crisis beeu witnout an assurance equally strong. It is admitted that it does not matter how high ihe rate may be, so long as the certainty is given that money can be had at some rate. When has this certainly been called in question 7 The very object of the Bank iu each successive advance is to maintain a position to en able them to comply with every legitimate applica tion, and there can be no doubt of this being affect ed, unless an insane demand upon them should pre vent it. It may, however, be asked, “Why not avert the chance of such folly by a Government notice that would calm everybody 7 Grant that in principle it would be humiliating and ridiculous, still it could do no harm, and might prevent much mischief.”— This announcement can scarcely be requisite. All classes of tbe public must be well aware that if the nation should so pitiably lose its self possession as to give way to panic there is but one remedy, and that the Government will be compell.-d to adopt it. There can be no need, however, by a formal pro ceeding to proclaim a belief that the financial sense of the nation is st ill so low as to cause the degrading contingency to be regarded not only as possible but probable. The funds to day have exhibited fully as much steadiness as could have betn anticipated. Under the certainty that a further movement would take place at the Bank they opened at a decline of a quarter per cent., and subsequently experienced another slight fall, butthe market wa? without agi tation. Consols for money were first quoted 88| to from which they advanced to 89. They then re mained at 88J to 89 till the breaking up of the Bank Court, when several sales of stock, some of which were alleged to be on account of the bank, caused a reaction to 881 to |, which was the final quotation. F'or the 7th of December the last transactions were at 89 to|. Advances on stock were in demand in the afternoon at uncertain rates, ranging between 7 and 7£ per cent. Bank stock left off at 209 to HI; Reduced. 87$ to f ; New Three per Cents, 871 to i : India Stock, 210 to 212 ; India Bonds, 455. to 355. discount ; and Exchequer bills 15s. to 10s. discount. In connection with the bank announcement to day no one can fail to see cause of congratulation at the fact of a heavy loan to India having thus far been avoided. Even the assistance already afford ed to that country—amounting to three or four mil lions sterling, since the cessation of the payments ordinarily due from it must equally with the specie in course* of despatch be regarded as a contribution on our part—has seriously aggravated the and fiicul ties of the crisis, and if a loan of five or ten millions in addition had been contracted we should un doubtedly, for the sake of making everything smooth to the Indiau people aud the routine financiers at Calcutta, have plunged the entire trade of the em pire into confusion. Happily, too. as regards the future, it may be hoped that the advance to 9 per cent, will have the good effect of causing the home government to in sist that these financiers, before availing themselves of the easy method ol drawing upon what they fancy to be the exhauslless resources of England, shall be compelled to attempt the discovery whether a coun try which for a long time has been absorbing silver from us at the rate of six millions per annum cannot be made to provide in some degree for the coat of its own disturbances. Periods of insurrection are precisely thoee in which a suspension of specie payments is not only legiti mate, but in most cases, as a matter of justice, in dispensable ; and even if it were an unmixed evil, instead of a salutary precaution, it would be better that the natives of India should be subjected to the slight inconvenience of receiving their dividends and other claims in interest bearing but temporarily in convertible paper than that the commerce of Europe ad America should be convulsed and thousands of families be thrown out of employment, in order that there should be no discomfort on that side and no interruption to the facilities of hoarding. It is the business of the Indian Government to consider what they would do if they had not the English ex chequer to fall upon. Would they abandon the country, or would the wholesome stimulus of neces sity yield its usual results 1 We have supplied men and ’munitions and India is rich enough to find m - nev. There is no reason to assume that the issue of a note circulation, even on a large scale—supposing it requisite as a last resource—a circumstance far from certain, would be attended with difficulty. The na tives would be found sufficiently keen to estimate the value of a Government note, carrying 6 or 7 per cent interest, and receivable at par in the course of six or twelve months for revenue dues, and at the same time we should have the satisfaction of know ing that every one with paper of this description in his pocket would feel an access of loyalty and pro portionate desire for the maint . nance ol order Finance-Trade—Money. Foreign Monet Matters. Trade, etc —We find the following itetus in Willmer 6c Smith's Eu ropean Times of the 7th inst: The Funds at the commencement of the week were tolerably firm, and the state of affairs in New York had a tendency to the restoration of confi dence, but within the last few days there has been a decided run upon the bank?, and it had so increased up to Wednesday that rumors were afloat of the in tention of the Bank of England if the drain upon its coffers continued to raise the rate of discounts to 9 ♦>ct. The severity of the pressure was most par ticularly felt, and it was at length made manifest that further restrictiv e measures could no longer be delayed. The extra demand which ‘was made upon the Bank of England rendered it apparent that a Ireah rise in the rate would be the result of such a proceeding, and accordinglyjrc- find these anticipa tions were fully realised yesterday, the banknaving founa it incumbent to raise the rate of discount to Fct. The tunds are now wearing a very gloomy aspect, and it is not likely they will be relieved un til we reteive #ome consignments of gold from Aus tralia.

During the past week Congo’s have gradually de clined to a point which inevitably led speculators to suimise that a rise iu the bank rate of discount was certain. This was realized on Thursday, when the rate of discount ot the B.iuk of England was raised to 9 P cent. Yesterday the official business was re ported as follows: Three Per Cent. Consols, for mo ney, 83|, 88ji, 89,887, 88$; ditto, for Account, 10th Nov. 88g,88$, 89, Bss, 88$.

To-day Consols were firmer, closing for money and account at 88$ to Exchequer Bonds, ss. to 153. disc. In the manufacturing districts trade is nearly at a stand still, aud spinners have been obliged to take incredibly low prices—even in some cases at the rates they would iiave given a few weeks ago for the raw material. The stock among spinners and manufacturers are fast increasing, contracts having almost expired. This state of things is felt at Black burn, Manchester and Burnley, and to such an ex tent at the latter place that out of ninety manufac turers there are only two working fuil time. The finer spinners at Bolton are likely to yield, too, to the pressure, and at Leeds the merchants are wait ing the turn of events, while at Halifax partial stoppage and short time have beeu restored to.

The melancholy intelligence of the loss of tbe ill fated Central America, which clothed the nation in mourning, has scarcely gone the rounds of the press when we are called upon to lecord the destruction, dose to our own coast, of the New Orleans and Gal veston steamer Opelousas, of the Vanderbilt line, and the loss of eighteen of her passengers, by com ing into collision with the steamer Galveston, of the Southern Steamship line, near Mente'au Point, about midnight on the night of the 14th inst. From Mr. Harrison H. Hobart, of Jones’ Express, one cf the surviving passengers of the Opelousas, we received last night the following hasty narrative of the scene; “ I was a passenger on the Opelousas, Capt. Ellis, bound from Borwicks Bay to Galveston. On the night of the 15th, about a quarter past 12 o’clock, I was awakened in my berth by a shock, as if the ves sel wasstruok by lightning. I rushed ou deck and found it crowded with passengers, all in the wildest state of excitement—the ladies screaming and the gentlemen running to aud fro. The first conscious ness I had of danger was hearing the mate and steward calling on the passengers to save them selves, as there were two life-preservers in each stateroom. 1 hastily made for the cabin to get a life-preserver, but on reaching it found the water in it ankle deep. I hastily retraced my steys aud on reaching the deck again found the steamer sunk to her gunwales. The passengers then ran to the hur ricane deck, but in about three minutes she had sunk to that deck. The scene of wild confusion and dismay which then presented itsolf beggars all de scription. The life boat was cut away and some fifteen or twenty jumped into her, and others jumped into one ot the quarter boats, when both boats started for the Galveston, then some distance from the wreck. (At this time I did noi see the Galveston, and was totally unconscious of the cause of the dis aster.) The life boat before reaching the Galveston was capsized, and several of the passengers sunk to rise no more. I held on to the stern of the Opelousas an while in that position was joined by the second engineer. This officer had secured a plank, which enabled him to shove off from the wreck. I did not do so, believing the Opelousas was aground. In a few moments, however, the Opelousas, from the weight, I suppose, of her machinery, broke in two and turned bottom upwards. Seeing the Galveston in the distance I struck out for her, and, after swim ming, I think, about a quarter of a mile, was picked up by one of the Galveston’s boats. Captain Ellis, who was clinging to a pirougue bottom, waa also picked up at the same time. The first engineer, his wife, a man whose, name Ido not recollect, two negro boys, and some others, I believe, clung to a portion of the wreck, after she turned bottom up wards, until daylight, when they were picked up. A Mexican, neme not known, who had rescued a little boy, was also found next morning holding on to a log, and h mself aud the boy are among the saved. The mate of the steamer Jasper, McFarland running to Sabine Pass, was one of the passengers of the Opelousas, and waa rescued. He afterwards left the Galveston to endeavor to save some of the other passengers, and unfortunately perished in the attempt. From all the information I could obtain, in the confused state of affairs, after I was saved, it ap pears that both boats being under full headway, the Galveston struck the Opelousas on the starboard side, a little forward of the wheelhouse, cutting her nearly in two and smashing her machinery eo that the steam from hei boilers soon filled the cabin, rendering it impossible to distinguish objects dis tinctly. Tbe second mate of the Opelousas and the first mate of the Galveston were on watch on their respective boats at the time of the collision. Capt. Washburn, of the Galveston, was not in charge of the G. that trip, having left the boat in Galveston, on account of sickness. Capt. Smith, I understand had charge of the G. Capt. Ellis asserts that he waa in his right track or course when tbe collision took place. Immediately after the collision, Capt. Ellis leaped on board the Galveston with a rope, for the purpose of making the latter boat fast to the wreck of the Opelousas, in order to save ;he passen gers, but bring unable to accomplish his purpose, leaped back on the wreck. The Galveston staid by the wreck during the night, and her officers aud men used every exert : on to save those floating in the water. Their kindness and attention to the survivers, while on board the G.. and until they were placed on board the Union,’ a the flats, outside of Berwick’s Bay, will long be remembered by them with gratitude.’” To our friend, Col. John T. Rockwood, of the Galveston Civilian, who was a passenger on the Galveston, we are indebted for the following list of the passengers known to be lost. Gen. J. Hamilton, South Carolina. Judge John C. Clelland, N. O. A. J. Voorhies, Princeton, New Jersey. Mr. Smith, mother and young lady, St. Louis. Miss Lucy Williams, Lavaca, Tex. C. W. Wilmot, Hardin county, Ky., (body found.)

We fear that they must be included among the latter : Mr. H. Trainer. Mr. G. Hardney, Mr. E. Hill, Mr. A. J. Hollis, Mr. Wyeth and lady. A Canadian Verdict —Special Provision for a Family. —We find in the Toronto Globe eome in teresting details of another action against the Great Western Railroad Company, to recover damages for the death of Mr. Alexander Grant, caused by the terrible accident at the Desjardins bridge. The action was brought bv Mrs. Elizabeth Grant, the widow of the deceased. It appeared in evidence that Mr. Grant was a man of great industry, ability and foresight. He had commenced business as a gardener, penniless, seventeen years ago, but he realized sufficient to commence a curiosity store on Goat Island, at the Niagara Falls. In it he acquir ed a considerable amount of property, and at the time of his death was making $3,000 or $4,000 per annum, in the regular course of Lis business. He left behind property worth about $33,000, and debts to the amount of $13,000. Bat he was not alive to mee tbe latter, and certain mortgages being due, his property had to be sold, leaving hie wife and children—of whom four were git Is under six teen years of age —a most destitute. The jury, af ter half an hour’s deliberation, returned a verdict for the pl&int'ff—dama es as follows : For the widow $3,000; for the first child $400: for the second child $600; for third child SI,OOO ; fo_ the fourth child $1,200 ; for the fifth child $2,000. Total $11,200. The Robbery of the Goshen Bank of $21,042 in bills and $1,192.99 in specie, on Tuesday night of last week, was one of the boldest thiga of modern times. Aft*r opening tbe door with a skeleton key. they drilled & hole of half an inch in diamiter. and powder was poured into it until the hollow be tween the outer and inner plates, in which the bolts of the safe lock work, was filled—then, by means of a slow match, the blast was ignited, and the door .aii shattered and broken. The explosion was heard but by one or two persona who had no idea of what was going on. The coast being clear, the du gl&r-returned, and by the aid of a dark lantern left in the banking room, found the safe opened, ceiled upon all the bank Dills and specie, and made ths*r % ercape. State locks and bolts avail but little whenihere ia no faithful sentinel near to be disturbed by the .alight noise necessarily made in such operations.

An affray occurred at Warrenton on Friday night last, in which a young lad named'WHiTEHEAD shot and killed John Jennings. The circumstances, as we learned them, were to the effect, that Jennings, in a quarrel with the elder Whitehead, drew a pis tol and snapped it twice at Whitehead, and was ; about making a third ahtemp t to fire, when the boy, seeing the danger of his father, seized a gun and discharged the contents into the side of Jenningsi the wound proving mortal. The Weather — Snow.— The Savannah Republi can says that passengers by the Railroad report,that it snowed heavily oh Thursday eveuing, for some time, as far down as Millen. At Madison, the Visi tor says the mecury indicated 18° above zero, at daylight on Friday morning. The unemployed made another demons .ration in New York on Wednesday last, and were at times very much excited. They threatened to force the clerks to put their names on the work-roll, and to drive away these who were employed. Incendiary speeches were made by their leaders, who were of sered work but refused it. N. Smith advised a de scent upon the restaurants and oyster saloons, but at 1 o’clock they left w ithout having done any se rious injury to anybody. Killed by the Railroad—Rum’s Doings. —An inquest was held yesterday, by Justice Levy, on Ae body of McLendon, of Burke county, who was killed the night previous about a mile and a half from the city, on the Augusta So Savannah Railroad. The precise circumstances of the death could not be ascertained, but from the evidence, the Jury had no doubt he was intoxicated, and it was supposed wandered from the road to the railroad and lay down on the track. He was on his way to the city, with a cotton wagon, which was driven by a negro. An Infernal Machine. —The Montgomery Mail, having previously given some account of an infernal machine recently invented by a gentleman I of Alabama, says : —We saw it at the Fair Grounds yesterday. There is no doubt that it can be adopt ed as an instrument for immense destruction of hu man life, in time of war. When steam power shall have been applied to it.it will send bullets in such quick succession that the different reports cannot be distinguished one from another, and the leaden messengers of death will go on their errands of de struction in a stream, rather than one at a time; not unlike a volume of water from the nozzle of a tire engine. We do not mean that it will send molten lead, but that the bullets, dropped into the machine one at a time, will flow out with tremen dous velocity in a stream. This machine, we believe, was invented in Dallas county. We do not remember the inventor's name. It is from the machine shop of Mr. McConougb, in Burnsville. The Charleston and Savannah Railroad.— The Charleston Mercury of the I4th says ;—The first cargo of iron for this Road reached this city on Friday last, in the ship Ocean Star, from Cardiff, amounting to about 800 tons. The ship now lies at the Company’s wharf, on the western bank of Ash ley river, near the new bridge, where she will dis charge. Slave Question in Vermont. —A bill was re cently introduced into the Legislature of Vermont’ which was intended to disfranchise any person who should assist in the capture of a fugitive slave. On the 17th inst., it was thrown out of the House by a vote of 121 to G 6. Arrest of Mail Robbers in Illinois. —Three men, named L. C. Griswold, David Lochbaum and Solomon Lochbaum were arrested on Thursday last, charged with robbing tbs United States mail. Griswold was arrested at Galesburg, one of the Lochbaums at Knoxville and the other at Elmwood, Peoria county, Illinois. They were all stage dri vers, carrying the United States mail. Some Platte Valiey (Nebraska) money, and about $21)0 in good money, was found secreted in the boot of one of the stages. General Walker and his Companions. —The Mobile Register of Sunday says, that in addition to the four hundred emigrants who embarked with Gen. Walker yesterday morning on board tie Fashion, for Nicaragua, we understand that about three hundred and fifty have gone from other porls of the United States on sailing vessels, thus making the total between seven and eight hundred men, well provisioned and prepared to meet the hardships of a promising expedition. The Imtorts for the Fiscal Year 1857. The report of the Secretary of the Treasury, to be presented to Congress next month, will contain a statement showing the imports for the fiscal year 1857, of the principal foreign manufactures—name ly : Woolen, Cotton, Silk, Linen Iron. Comparison of the Imports of the principal Foreign Manufacturers for the fiscal year , 1856—1857. , * 1856. 1857. Woolen manufacturers $111,964,000 $111,986 000 Cotton “ 95,918,000 98,685,000 Silk “ .... 39.861,000 27,800,000 Linee “ .... 11 189,000 11,443,000 Iron “ 24,602,000 23,320,000 $126,535,000 $121,534,000 Decrease in 1857 $4,001,000 The importations of woolen, silk, and iron manu factures have decreased, while the importations of cotton and linen manufactures have increased.— The decrease in silk importations amount to five millions of dollars, and increase of cotton importa tions to over two and a half millions. The imports of linen, wooien, and iron manufacturers have not materially altered. . For the Gold Kegioks. —The Columbus Sun fays that on Tueeday last, abontfilty Irishmen pass ed through that city on their wny to Goldville, Ala., for the purpose of working in the mines, which are now said to be quite productive. They were fresh importations from the North, where they had been starved out, and were consequently forced to geek work at the South among the “nagers.” Later from Y ucat an.— The troubles in Yucatan, by the last advices, seem without any early pros pect of settlement. The town of Lagura, besieged by the government forces, continues to bold out, al though there are evidences of dissension among the insurgents. On the other hand, the government party is also divided in sentiment. Another con spiracy had been discovered, says the New Orleans Picayune of the 12th, at Merida, by which a large number of influential citizens had been compromised so far as to be arrested. The files of Campeaeby papers were to the 27th ult. West Point Beacon.— J. T. Whitman, Esq., has sold the West Point Beacon to John Appleby. The paper which was heretofore Democratic, will here after be American in politics. Thi Cholera is Europe. —The advices by the Arabia show that this fatal disease is still prevailing to a great extent in the north of Europe. In Stock holm, and other cities of Sweden, the deaths thus far, were computed as high as five thousand, but the latest accounts show a progressive decline. At Hamburg it is likewise on the decrease. No cases are reported in England, but the various sanatary committees and boards of health in the cities and large towns are going to work as if its advent next spring was a dead certainty. They do not propose to revive quarantine, or to impose any restrictions of that kind upon vessels coming from infected ports —taking it for granted that cholera is not a disease that can be stopped by quarantine. They are, how ever, etirring up the inhabitants to increased clean liness, attention to diet, clothing, &c. Worthy or Imitation. -The Northampton Gazette says that the cotton factory of Hayden 4c Sanders, and the gold pen factory at Haydenville have been stopped for a short time, and the brass factory is running on short time only. Messrs. Hayden and Sanders have generously offered to pay the board of such of their girls as have no home, until they com mence operations again. Tobacco. —The Clarkßville (Teon.) Chronicle says : —We published an item last week, stating -that one crop of Tobacco had been sold there for $7. Several of our Tobacconists have closed con tracts this week at $5 to $5 50. If planters expect the cash for this staple, they will be compelled to ■ell at low figures. Mcdienl Works. Charleston Medical Journal and Review. Tne November Dumber of this valuable bi-monthly medical periodical has been on our table for some days, and after a glance through it we are pleased to see that its ustains its deservedly high reputation, both as a Journal and Review. The present num ber contains five original articles, besides reviews and miscellaneous matter, and a life-like eugraving of Professor James Moultrie, of Charleston, So. Ca., with a Biographical Sketch, which reflects con s derable honor on him as a Student and Professor. The present number closes the twelfth year of its existence, and we are pleased to hear from its able and indefatigable Editor, that its condition is healthy and prosperous—long may it live and grow in usefulness. The typographical part of the work is in the very best style; in fact, it is not surpassed by any work of the kind that we meet with. It is edited and published by C. Happolot, M. D., in Charleston, S. C. Bi-monthly, at $4 per annum in advance. The Southern Journal of the Medical and Physical Sciences.— The October number of this valuable monthly reached us only a few days since. November number not yet at hand. This is the more embarrassing as this is quite a favorite work with us. We always find it fresh and interesting— abounding in a great variety of Medioal and Scien tific information. It contains eighty pages monthly, and is edited by Richard O. Currey, A. M. M. D., and publish ed in Knoxville, Tenn., at $3 per annum in ad. vance. We think it among the best medioal peri odicals of the West, and cordially recommend it to the profession. Harper’s Magazine for December has been re ceived, and laid on our table, by Messrs. Geo. A- Oates & Bro. Mr. Thackart's new story, “The .Virginians,” is commenced in the present number.— lie “Drawer” is as usual filled with good things. Qodey’s Lady's Book for December, is also at hand. It contains two ekgant steel engravings— ■‘Christmas and “Christmas Morning,” which will be at once pronounced of the most superior style. Asa sumiliify onfo contents we will merely state that it contains 49 engravings, 100 pages, and 60 oontribntions. Now is the time to subscribs, commencing with the January number for 1858. The publishers promise that it shall even surpass the past year. Georgia Produce and Manufactures. —The LnGrnnge Reporter gives the fol'owing items, il lustratiug the prosperity and enterprise of Troup county: Large Yield of Corn. — Col. Henry Loing, of thi3 county, informed us a fe\v days since, that lie gathered and measured from one-half aore of branch land, seven barrels and one bushel of corn ! and from another piece, 142 X 112 feet of ground, he gathered seren bane/s ! He also stated ttiat from a torty acre field, much of which was shaded, he gath ered an average of ten. barrels to the acre. Tiiis is considered very good, indeed, from the old fields of Troup. Making Shoes by the Hundred per Day. —At Col. Win. F. Fannin's Steam Tauiierv and Shoe Factory at this place, on the 7th inst, ten hands made during the day one hundred and seven pairs of shoes ! The coastwise trade of France embraces 212 ports, and employed, for 1850, 2,432,813 tons— - 1,734,427 in Atlahtic ports and 898.386 in the Medi terranean. The largest trading port, Marseilles, was visited 31)9,350 tons; Havre next, with 217,339; Nantes, 153,845; Bordeaux, 138,609; Koueti, 83,- 336; Aries, 80,793. Graiu aud flour constituted 52 per cent, of the trade between the ports of the At lantie and those of the Mediterranean. Health of Jacksonville. —We are happy to state, says the Jacksonville Republican, that the health of this city is improving. We hear of but tew cases at present, and none of a malignant character. In a short time we hope to be able to announce the disappearance of the fever entirely.— We would advise those who are absent not to return until we have another heavy frost A great number of persons in the interior have been visiting the city wi'h wagons and carts during the whole season, and we have not heard of one taking the fever. We are induced to believe that persons in the interior can come to lown, transact their business and return in safety. Oregon. —The Constitutional Convention of this Territory has dosed its labors, and the Constitution was to be submitted to the vote of the people on the 9th November. The following are the principal provisions of the Constitution : The Supreme Court consists of four Justices, elected by districts and paid $2,000 per annum.— The Governor is paid $1,500 per nunum. The Se cretary of the State $1,500. The Treasurer SBOO. — There is no Lieutenaut Governor. The Senate is to consist of 16 members and the House of Represen tatives 34 members, paid $3 per day for forty days, which number is not to be increased until 1860. The Legislature is forbidden from establishing or incor porating any bank or banking company or monied institution whatever, and nil such institutions are positively forbidden in the State. The State ie for bidden from subscribing for or becoming interested in any corporation or association whatever, aud can never assume the debt of any town, county or city, aud no town, city or municipal corporation can become a stockholder in any joint stock associa ciation whatever. The counties are forbidden from incurring debts of over $5,000. The Legislature is forbidden to draw money from the treasury for any re’igious or theological institution, and no money can be appropriated to pay for any religious ser vices in either branch of the Legislative Assembly. All elections in the Leigslature shall be open and viva voce forever, and elections by the people shall also be viva voce, until altered bylaw. No negro, Chi naman or mulatto shall have the right of suffrage. With reference to slavery it is provided that at the time of the election for the adoption of the Consti tution each vote shall be asked if he is in favor of or opposed to slavery and his vote shall be recorded, and a majority of votes ei her way decide the ques tion. Almost every influential newspaper in the Terri tory has taken grounds against the adoption of the Constitution of the people, and not a few of the members of the convention have taken the stump against its adoption. There were numerous objec tions to it, and now was very questionable whether it wAild pass- The Rumored Massacre of U. S. Troops. — The St. Paul Advertiser, of the 7th, discredits the whole of the report about the mast acre of five hun dred troops by Indians. It says the recent expe rience of the St. Paul community in the value of Indian rumors fails to give the statement the weight it would have were the information gathered from other than Indian sources. The Advertiser adds : Dr. Williamson, of course, could Eot know what degree of probability to attach to it—but as four weeks have elapsed since the reported event took place, and as the communication with the tribes on the Missouri river in the meanwhile has remained unimpaired, and, more especially, as no one can imagino what under Heaven a body of United States troops could have been doing in the supposed situation of these, or how they could have got there —it is not difficult to estimate the degree of credi bility to attach to astory with no better foundation than the statement of an Indian sensation-monger in the third remove from its original. Thanksgiving Dat. —Gov. Brown has set apart, by Proclamation, Thursday the 26th inst., to be ob served throughout the State as a day of Thanksgiv ing and Prayer to Almighty God for the abundance of mercies and loving kindness He has bestowed up on us as a people. A Pleasant Affair. —One day last week, says the Eastern Argus, a merchant in Gaidiner, Me., of. sered to give a barrel of flour to Rev. Charles Blake, a Baptist minister in that city, provided the young ladies would haul it to him To this they consented, and having obtained a small pair of trucks, the bar rel of flour was placed thereon, and about forty young ladies took hold of the ropes and drew the barrel about half a mile, up one of the steepest lulls in Gardiner, to the minister's house. The Gardiner Band, seeing what was going on, headed the pro cession, and played some excellent music. There was a large crowd to witness the proceeding, and a cabinet maker brought out a very handsome rock ing chair, which he fastened to the barrel, and let it go as an additional present to the minister. Honor to Hon. B. 11. Hill. —The American members of the Legislature held a meeting in the Senate Chamber, Friday last, at which it was un animously resolved to tender to our gallant cham pion in the late gubernatorial election, a compli mentary dinner, in the city of Milledgeville, at such time as may suit his convenience. The folllowing committee, composed of one from each Congres sional District, was appointed to communicate their action to Mr. Hill and request him to appoint a day for the m eeting with his friends around the festive board : Messrs. Bartlett, of Jasper; Robinson, of Law rens ; Brown, of Marion ; Hill, of Harris; Bighara, of Troup ; Council, of Catoosa: Carlton, of Clarke, and Gibson of Richmond. Pacific Wagon Road.— The Cumberland Tele graph has late private advices from Mr. Magraw’s expedition, which was at the South Pass. The army officers at Fort Laramie had advised him of the im practicability of going on. He had dispatched a party to seek comfortable winter quarters. Mr. Landor, chief engineer of the expedition, would s'art in a few days on his return to Washington with information of an important character for the Inte rior Department. James R. Annan, Esq., of Cum berland, disbursing agent -, Dr. Cooper, Surgeon of the expedition, and some six or eight of the assistant engineers, had, it is said, for some unknown cause, abandoned the expedition at Fort Laramie. New Material tor Water Pipes.— Sheet iron pipes of a peculiar construction are in use in France and England. They are made of sheet iron, which is bent the required form and then strongly riveted together; after which they are coated with an alloy of tin, and the longitudinal joints are soddered so as to render them both air tight and water proof. In order to give them more stiffness, they are next coa ted on the outside with asphalt cement, and, if they are intended to be used as water pipes, the inside is also coated with bitumen, which resists, like glass the action of acids and alkalies. They are so elastic that they will bear a considerable defection without injuring the pipes, or causing any leakage at the joints. The vertical joints screw together in the same manner as cast iron pipes. These pipes are used for water, for gas, and for draining, and are found to be more economical than iron, besides be ing lees liable to leak, and for water pipes they are more healthy than the common ones. A Granite Bank. —The Hartfoid Times say, that the assets of the Granite Bsnk, Connecticut’ have been found to be between three and four hun dred dollars in coin, a one dollar bill, and a second hand safe, not yet paid for. The managers had is sued bills to the amount of $17,000, and scattered them about in various parts of the country. The Bank was kept in a kitchen, and was, to all ap pearances, an out-and-out swindle. Post Mortem Tricks —ln Wheeling, \a , last week, a young man, for $5, aired a neighbor to frighten bis sweetheart by dressing as a ghost, and advising her, in a sepulchral tone -such as is used by all respectacle ghosts—to marry him. Some cf the fast boys caught the bogus ghost, and belabored him until he called for quarters in a manner closely resembling a human being. Seven days from Liverpool to August a.—The news by the steamer Ariel, which was received in thisoity Saturday last, would have reached us in seven days from Liverpool, but for an unfortunate break in the Nova Scotia Telegraph. The And I sailed from Liverpool on Friday, the 6th inst., and | was intercepted off Cape Race on Friday, tho 13th [ inst., by the news yacht of the Associated Press, j and the news would have reached us that afternoon but for the mterruption of Telegraphic cominuuica’ ! tion. “ The line was repaired ou Saturday hud the ‘ telegraphic summary reached Augusta that eveuing, ! giving us ou the 14ih advices from L’verpoo! and London to the 6th, an achievement of steam and magnetism that has never been paralleled.

The Emperor has built, at his own cost, spacious schools, aud will, moreover, provide funds for the support of the Eu ropean professions who maybe attached to the in stitutions. He is about to erect a Catiioiie hospital, to be administered by French Sisters, aud means to build churches as soon as the number of converts among his subjects shall render them necessary.— The missionary societies (not Catholic) of the Uni ted States will perhaps be glad to learn the favora ble disposition of the Burmese government, be cause we may presume that other denominations of Christians than the Catholic can turn them to good account. An Orthodox Yankee expresses himself ns fol lows coroeruing eternity : Eternity! why, don’t yen know the meaning of that word T Nor I either hardly.

You might place a row of figures from here to sunset, and cypher them up, and it would not begin to tell how many ages long eternity is. Why, my friends, after millions and trillions of years have passed away in the morning of eternity, it would be a hundred thousand years to breakfast time.
