That It has no outlet, is now demonstrated beyond doubt; and 1 am convinced from wlmt 1 have «o«t, that it can never bo of the slightest uso for the purpose of navigation. Tho water, for miles out from the shore, wherever I have seen it, is but a few inches hj depth ; and if there be any deejicr water it must be in the middle. The Utah river (or the Jor dan, as the Mormons cull it) is altogether too insig nificant and too c,rooked to be of any use commer cially. Tho greatest depth of tho Utah Lake that we have found is sixteen feet; so that lor tho pur poses of a connected line of navigation, neithertiho river nor the lake cun bo of the slightest utility Such at kinst,'in my present impression.

This was an action brought by Ross Winans, of Baltimore, Md. for tlio violation of a patent to him October 1,1835. Tho subject matter of the patent is tlio eight wheel passenger and burden car in gen eral use oil railroads throughout til is country. F or the defence it was contended that the patent was void for first, the want of novelty: second for an imper fect specification ; third ior an imperfect claim; fourth, for the want of legal compliance with tho statute ; and fifth, on tho ground of abandonment. To prove tho first two points, several English scientific works were brought forward; end numerous railway engineers, superintendents, anil experts, living iu Washington, Boston, Now York, Auburn, Buffalo, and Batavin, gave in tiioir testimony. The trial occupied the atten tion of tile Court du ring eight days, and was fimdly given to tlm jury, niter nn able charge from his honor, Judgo Conkling, on Friday evening. After a short absence tlioy Came in with a ycrdict for plaintiff.

Hines then through the instrumentality of officers of govern ment, residing or visiting fareig,countries in our nation al vessels many interesting plants have been added, so thut the collection os it now stands, numbers about 11,000 plants. The Washington corresponde nt of tlio Journal of Commerce seems to give up all liopoof any adjustment of the Slavery question.' Tlio writer says: “Tho Southern ultras slly there can be no compro mise, because there is a radical difference of senti ment mnl interest between tho South and tho North. The Northern ultras say there can beno comppofeise, —because tho principle of free labor is vitally hostile to tliut of slave labor.” . The unfortunate differences between the President and Jlr. Clay is put down justly us one of the chief causes of this hopeless diversity of sentiment. Mr. Bcll'a speech haa but multiplied difficulties, for like tlio Richmond Whig and others at tlio South he opposes the plan because it does not concede enough to the South. BY TELEGRAPH. ASTOUNMNr.

From Augusta tho intelligence was communicated to this city by telegraph lust night, about 10 o'clock.

Tile State Rights is owned in this oity,and is the goe- ond ship in the new line of regular packets which bus been established to run betweou this city and Liver pool. She is most admirably adapted to tho trade for which she is designed, and is n vnlunblo acquisition to .tho Bliippiog of our port In her arrangements she has all tho latest Improvements, and her cnliin and steerage, especially, are admirably planned for the accommodation of passengers. Wo observed an absence of decoration and embellishment, such as is usual to packet ships ol' her class; but what-eho lacks in this regard is amply compensated by Jill! substan tial and durable character of her material and work manship, and tho liberal arrangements for the comfort by Virginia!"

Independently of the medciinal quali ties ot the water, the hotel accommodations are good—the table is bountiftilly served with the bestthe land affords, and the general'management is such ns to promote tho comfort and pleasure of the guests. The Indian Sjtrings are, at this seasou of the year, frequented by people from all sections of our State, und the delightful society to bo met there is not the least inducement to the seeker of hcnlth and relaxation, to make them a resort For our own part, we expect to weathor it out horo amidst the dust and mosquitos, and to keep the Town Clock iu countenance as it marks the passage of the sultry, tedious hours, while the mors favored of our fellow citizens have flown to the fresh shady groves of the interior, or to the pleasure haunts of tho North. Nevertheless wo ore not envious, and though it is out of ourpowor to enjoy tho luxury of a wock’a relaxa tion from our daily round of duties, we invite all who can to pay a visit to Indian Springs, and commend them to the hospitality of mine host of the McIntosh House.

These Islands are about twenty-five miles out from tho harbor, and are apparently funned by a volcanic upheaval from tho bed of the oucun. The largest one contains about twenty acres. It was once occupied by the Russians, whose tenements nro yet thorc in nn almost perfect state. The visitors found the place occupied by myriads of seaiowls of every known kind, and some witli which they were unac quainted ; mnong other strange birds, they described the web-footed parrot, which has the outlines of a* parrot with the foot of a water-fowl. The most wonderful occupants thoro are the kings of beasts—the sea ’ions. Those animals have con gregated there to the number of thousands. They nrepif tho hugest class of four footed beasts, weigh ing between two and three thousand pounds! They have tho resemblance of a lion in conformation, in cluding the mime, and roar in u similar munner, but much louder. Great Consumption of Strawberries. Tho N. Y. Express Buys tlmt 85,000 baskets of strawber ries were brought to that.city, over the Erip Railroad in ono day last Week. Tho whole number of Iiub- kots enrried on the Erie Railroad for tiie week was 172,000, 2l 1-2 tons weight! At four cents a basket, (although muny of them are higher,) the value amounts to $6,880. Many strawberries come from other quarters than the above, and it may not be too much to say that tho city spends some $3000 daily for tho luxury of strawberries. Tho N. Y. Christian Examiner contuins nn nrtiolo from l’rof. Agassiz, on tho origin of tlio human race, iu which lie contends that the Biblical account of tho creation relates to tlio white race alone; and that the different racos of men which-now. oxist iu different portions of the globe were net mude to differ as they now do merely by the influence of climate und other external circumstances, hut were originally created substantially as they now appear ill the different lo calities in which they are now. found; or in other words, thut there were, iu the beginning nt least, os many distinct creations of men and woman us there are distinct races of men in the w orld.
