Standing committees were appointed, after which Bishop Delaney read the report of his official action since October, 1852, the date of his return from Europe to New York. He had confirmed since then 913 persons, preached 132 times, and delivered 138 confirmation addressed. The whole number of cler gymen in the diocese at the present time to 125. He referred with regret to the apostacy of Bishop Ives, and attributed it to mental aberration, as he knew personally that Bishop Ives was insane in 1850, and •that insanity was hereditary in bis family. The Bisb. op concluded with some appropriate remarks, and the convention adjourned till to-morrow morning.

There to not a single range of mountains, nor even a continuous range of hills from Nacogdoches to the Colorado, that presents any obstacle to the construc tion or a railroad. The elevations that are designated as mountains over Cordova’s map, lure merely Dluffii, fronting on the rides of valllea. and are generally but one or two hundred feet high. The general surface of country is an extended plain, inclined to the south east.

Oceanic Telegraph-Line between Europe . and America. We have it stated to ns, on the authority of Mr. Robert Stepbensou, the. great engineer, that a recent discovery in telegraphing has been made, which may work as great a revolution in tbe world of letters and of commerce, as has been already effected by tbe .. .... . . .. .. ‘eiectnwflagiiet- lioauon; coramnnl uniting at a distance. To make oareelves nnderstood.lt may be proper to say’, that heretorore. tbe most scientific observers of facta in electro-maenetism, have supposed that there was a limit to the force, or strength,of the magnetic current upon any given circuit; and that, however perfect might be the insulation ofthe sub-marine .wire, tbe blow, or Bhook, could not be sent across tbe Atlantic ocean. In this belief, a project has been formed, for . constructing a sab marine telegraph be tween Great Britain andthe United States, by a cir cuitous route, across tbe various straits or channels lying between tho intermediate islands of the North ern Atlantic Ocean. It was proposed to commence this Hue at the northerly part of Scotland; thence to tbe Orkneys; thence to the Shetland and Faroe Isl ands; thence to Iceland, a distance of some three hundred miles; thence to tbe shore of Greenland; thence across land to Davis’s Strait; thence across said strait,to the Labrador shore: thence by land, to Quebec, Ac. Mr. Stephenson states, that a series of recent ex periments has established the fact, that by forming a complete wire circuit—that is, by Jwo connected wires, extended so as to return to the same point of departure, terming a complete metallic circnit, in stead of using one wire connected with the ground, the galvanic current may be sent to any conceivable distance without loss or diminution of power. The supposed weakness of the current is to be attributed to its interruption by cross currents; which cross currents are overcome, or avoided by the continuous wire circnit. In this way, by doubling tbe expense of tbe sub marine cable, making with it a complete metallio cir cuit, or a double track, by a return line, tbe galvanic current may be sent, without sensible loss of power, from London to Portland or New York; or at any rate, from Galway to Cape Race. It is known, however, that this principle of a me-. tallic circuit was one of the first ideas in the use of the telegraph; bat a subsequent discovery of the fact, that one line of wire, inserted into tbe earth, made a complete circnit by this means alone, caused tbe original method to be laid aside, and finally aban doned. We cannot any longer doubt, that an Oceanic Tel egraph will yet be realized; and tbat a line of wires will yet encircle the whole earth, bringing all parte of it .into instantaneous communication with each other.' It to impossible for any human foresight to .estimate, or predict even, the results of such a.com- thnnicaMon; and we trust that tbe Governments of tbe United States and Great Britain will take up tbe matter or an Oceanic Line, on a scale commensurate with its importance—providing such a number of dis tinct wires, enclosed in one cable, as will supply the necessities of commerce and intercourse between Eu rope and America.—Portland State of Maine. Is Yellow Fever Contagions! Tho Doctors disagree. Authorities differ. Cope land says it to. Tweedie says it is not. Both are ex cellent authority. England and America, neither of whom will confess willingly that it is ever bred in their soil, are careful always to sustain costly quarantines. St. Thomas and Jamaica, which, by virtue of a per petually humid atmosphere, dense fogs, and a me dium temperature of from 70° to 80°, are always ripe for it, look upon quarantine as a relict of supersti tious and ignorant ages. When those who should know take opposite sides of so practical a question, ft would be presumptuous for those who do not even pretend to be disciples, to judge between them. We cannot, however, fail to notice how rapidly to increas ing the doctrine tbat Yellow Fever to essentially a local disease, liable to spring np in any hot climate near tbe sea, where, besides a general heat and dry ness of the atmosphere, and the prevalence of nox ious effluvia from decayed animal or' vegetable mat ter, there exists a certain change in the atomic condi tion of tbe air, which predisposes to epidemics. The history of the epidemics or the past four or five years, so far as they have been written, very strongly incline ua to this conclusion. Possibly the obstruc tions which quarantine laws offer to commerce, the. inhumanity of keeping confined between decks the sick who arrive from sickly ports, and who need nothing for their recovery but pure air and hospital nursing on shore; the cruelty of confining for weeks to the presence of the infected and dying, those who arrive in the same ships, but without tbe slightest taint of infection upon them—perhaps these consid erations, as ranch as a critical examination of facte, have disposed the world to this theory. But why toil a disputed question 7 What 1s lack ing 7 Is it a scarcity of facts 7 For the last year yel low fever has been raging with great virulence on the coast of Sooth America, and in many ofthe West In dia Islands. Haytib&s been almost desolated. At Jamaica, Demama, Antigua, It baa raged with great fatality. It is yet carrying off crowds from the popu lation of Cuba. Slaves and masters, officers Aid sea men, the commandants of onr American vessels, the officers of the English men^of-war, and snndry of onr Consular representatives have died of it. It has reached New Orleans, where the number of deaths has exceeded two hundred a day, and the numbers tbat die daily do not yet diminisn. One would sup pose tbat there were facts enough, if the medical pro fession bad done its duty, to have suggested all the laws of the disease, and laid bare to the philosopher ev£ry principle of its action. Medical philosophy owes it to itself to study these facte; to group the isolated, yet multitudinous ones, that regard its ori- ^*n and cause, and deduce (he law of ito preparation. •rtainly, there are motives enough to stimulate to tbe most thorough examination. Property to a large amount depends upon it; the lives or whole compa nies are staked. We frost that -Medical Societies, Academies; and Associations will make this a practi cal question, and give ns tbe benefit of their reason ing and enlightened conclusions on it. .

Tall Cotton.—We were shown, a few davs since, a stalk of cotton that grew on the plantation of Mr. H. M. Jeter, some eight miles from thto place, which Wonld do honor to the best bottom lamia of the Mis sissippi River. It was of the common Petit Gulf va riety, but surpasses the best specimens that we have ever seen of the extra varieties. It was eleven feet high,, and hod. upon it one hundred and thirteen grown boils, together with about two hundred squares, blooms, and young bolls, and Dr. J. informs us tbat there are a plenty more of the same sort left in his fields. We believe we speak the truth when we say that Marion Corinty is'-one of the best farming conn- tries in the world. There has never been a failure in crops in thto county within the recollection ofthe oldest inhabitant.” Even this year, when the cry all over the countty to "short crops,” there will be ex cellent crops—enough, not only for home consump tion, but sufficient to spare a portion to onr neighbors who have the misfortune to live in less favored sec tions.— Buena Vista Vademecum ,20thinst. More Gold.—We were shown tho other day by Mr. Chandler,some beautiful specimens of gold, found on the farm of Mr. Anderson, in the upper part of Laurens District, near the Spartanburg and Green ville line. Two of the particles were half as large and much thicker than a finger nail! These were fonnd in the sand, and washed ont in a tin pan. It to thought that the working will be very profitable wben machinery to applied/— Southern Banner 18. The House of Michael Angelo.—The Rev. Dr. Nelson, of Leicester, writes from Florence: Among its many other interesting curiosities, we visited tbe houre of Michael Angelo, the prince of sculptors, whose productions are the ornament of so many galleries. He was born in the valley of the Ti ber, In 1475. Of course, the house in which he resi ded in Florence must be more than three hundred years old; but his family have kept it in perfect pre servation. Mncb of tho furniture yet occupies its original station. Tho rooms are highly finished and richly ornamented. Tho first in the series, which opened into each other, contains his statue; opposite to thto, is one of the only three oil paintings which he ever executed. The next room is his studio. Many <Jf the articles which he used personally are perfectly preserved—as hto cap, hto slippers, and his walking stick. Here, also, are hto manuscripts and letters.” Mississippi—Yellow Fever at Biloxi.—The Sea Shore Sentinel, (Biloxi,Yef the 13th instant, says :— From the best information we have been able to gain, by consulting with the only two American physicians practicing in the place, we are in our own mind jus tified in saying, not only that the yellow fever is among its, but tbat it bas taken off some of our resi dent citizens. Explosion of a Locomotive and Loss of Life.— On the Western and Atlantic Railroad, at Moon Sta tion. some ten or twelve miles this ride of Marietta, the locomotive Bobuel, with freight train, exploded with terrific report and instantly killed P.C.GIeeson, the conductor, and two Tennessee passengers, who, the telegraph reports, were going to Atlanta to ob tain situations as firemen. The two firemen were badly hart—one loosing an arm, and two others were scalded. Tbe engineer, Sykes, ittoiaid, bad been drinking anj is a very reckless fellow. He was ab sent from the engine at tbe time, getting a dram, and was remonstrated with a short time before, by one of the firemen', who told him that tbe engine would ex plode under the pressure. It was a Richmond engine and proved so defective that it bad been overhauled lately at Atlanta. We were unable to learn all tbe names of tbe killed and wounded. If Sykes has been represented correctly, he ought to answer for such recklessness Jo the TuH extent or the law.- Chatta- nooga Advetfiter, 20th inst. -SMad DogJ—The Grtve-bill Alabama Herald states tbat a ip»d dog was recently killed in tbe vicinity of tbat place. 'Hehad bit several dogs previous to being killed. The Herald understands that there are seve ral roaming aboht tbe country, and the people wonld do well to be outheir guard. It is said that Mr. Rhodes who resides at Wilderness in that county, had eight negroes bit by one of these dogs; and rumor says one of them died a few days since. Much alarm to felt, some are killing their dogs, and others are pntUng them np. , - Th* Ixfkachxznt Case.—The Court of Impeach ment for tbe trial of John C. Mather, Canal Commis sioner, met yesterday at Albany, the Lieutenant Gov* ernor, six judges, and twenty-one Senators being pres* ent. The Court was organized, tbe oath of office was administered to the President, and by him, to tbe other members, when tho Court adjourned to thto morning.—AT. Y. Mirror, 17/A. We8txrn Hogs.—From present appearances, tbe number of bbgs tbe next season will be large, paticn- larly in Kentucky and Ohio. It is stated that a con tract for a large number of hogs in Indiana haa been made at $2 90, gross, to be delivered at tbe pens in the fall. A trader at Louisville, on the 3d inst., of fered to deliver one thousand bogs, between the 20th of November and the 20th of December, at 4fc cents net. The contract was not made. High Wages.—It to difficult to find levee laborers Willing to work In the present hot weather. Yes ter day, on several boats, it is stated, as much as 30 and 40 cents per hoar were paid. Nevertheless, at these tempting rates, the H. D. Bacon, which started tbe .day’s work with a complement of .sixty-five binds, and the Isabel and Iowa, equally well manned in the lento Arri- re among wnt their lest city ol ™ - - .1808.1- The .... je,was felt in Barcelona, and destroyed three large buildings, including the barracks, Just after seven hundred soldiers had left them. All along the coast of Venezuela shocks were felt, bnt no mto- chief was known. It to said that the ■uperstitions or the people led them to look upon the earthqoako as an evidence of the Divine, disapprobation of the revolution. The Kdymoltt Case—A Precedent. A correspondent writes as follows to tho Albany Journal .* The newspapers seem to be ranch engaged in dis cussing the case of Edymoln, who recently obtained from Gov. Seymour, a pardon from tho State prison, by forging a petition, Ac., upon which the pardon was granted. It U supposed teF.be a new case under the son. ' : • Bat the case to net without a precedent. Allow me to relate an occurrence'which took plate niore f thirty years ago, in Herkimer county. A notorious old rogue, by. tbe name of Barnes, wss convicted of grand larceny, and waa sent to the State orison at Auburn. In the course of a few week* after elng sent to prison, Barnes was found parading the streets of Herkimer village, and ostentatiously show- ng a pardon signed by Gov. Clinton. I think it was ip tho year 1818 or 1819. A letter was pddressed to the GovomorenquiL...- upon whose recommendation he bad granted tbe par don. County Clerk, and District Attorney, and by various other persons, giving an account ofthe trial and con viction of Barnes, and stating a great variety of rea sons why lie should not have been convicted, and praying for bis immediate pardon. The petition and signatures were all forgeries. ; In thto case no person supposed that the pardon could be treated os a nullity and Barnes be again committed in the Btate Prison. The Governor had exercised an unquestionable prerogative in granting the pardon, and it could not no revoked or annulled. In the case that bas recently occurred I have no donbt that the second imprisonment of the roan after Governor Seymour granted a pardon, was wholly illegal. • The Dauphin Again L Rev.Rleazer Williams, in a recent Conversation wich the editor of the Fond du. Lac Union, stated that evidences were being prepared tor the press, which would put the question of his parentage at rest. Among other things, that the affidavit of his reputed mother, lately published, was a gross decep tion, not by her, but by the interpreter, bribed, no doubt, wbo falsely interpreted her language. He says that tins woman does not understand the English language, and-when the substance ofthe published affidavit was afterward told her. she denied ever having made it. and asserted to the cohtrary that she had made affidavit that he was not her son. Her statement will be oontalned In the forthcoming volume of evidence, teon to-be published by the Rev. gentleman’s friends. It is stated that there are those now living, in France, whose knowledge on thto sub ject will bo very important in the decision of the question, and among whom to the widow of Robes-' plerre.—Toledo Republican. Hot Weather In New York. The heat for the past six days has been most aw- fol. In our publication office, a place with ten or twelve windows and doore constantly open to the east, south and west, the mercury has ranged, from 9 A. M. to 4 P. M., from 90 to 102 degrees, and near ly averaging 90 for the remainder of the day and night; in our composing room, with fifteen open windows in the fifth story, and a tree circulation of air, when there was any, from all- points, the mark has been from abont 90 to 98 day and night. From various accounts received, we should Judge that at least a hundred horsesliave been killed in the meantime in this city alone. All sorts of business in the traveling linelias been retarded-railroad trains relays, omnibuses reduced tp half speed, and pedes- trianism almost brought to a standstill. Another such week would outrival in mortality the height of the cholera of 1849. The number of deaths last week to reported at 585 , but tbe real number must have been at least 700—the heaviest mortality having occurred too late to be in cluded in Saturday's report. Every city, town and hamlet in this neighborhood has suffered in like proportion, and even in the airiest regions of country, the eastern bank of the Hudson, the complaint or the heat has been equal in ali but deaths.—N. Y. Tribune, 15th. i~. Suicide by two Females.-tA dispatch dated Man chester, N. H., Aug. 15, saysLast evening two fe males, named Catharine B. Cotton, of Poronal, Maine, arad 22, and Clara C. Cochran, of New Boston, New Hampshire, aged 19, after eating snpper, dressed themselves in white and went out together hand in hand to the canal, where they jumped in and drowned. A yonng man attempted to savo them and was nearly drowned himself. From letters left behind, it appears that they had contemplated suicide for some time. ; Bishop Hughes arrived in town yesterday, on board the U.8. iron steamer Michigan, from the Lake Su perior country. We understand that the Michigan, which has been on a cruise to tbe Upper Lakes, was returning to Detroit, and touched at Mackinac. Here she found the Bishop of New York, where he wsb in discharge of bis official duties. Ascertaining that he was intending to visit Little Traverse, and other places professionally, the gallant Commander tender ed him the use of the Government vessel, took him on board, and abont ship, waiting at all porta he de sired to visit until he had performed the necessary religious ceremonies, and brought him on bis way to this city.—Detroit Tribune.
