To the day of his death lie retained his friendship ting on her bonnet, and bidding adieu to her entertainers, started for home, to the great re lief of the guilty couple, who had feared some trouble in getting rid of her. Immediately on arriving at home, the wife proceeded to pack a carpet hag with a pile of shirts, and other ne cessaries, and startedon foot for the house where her husband still remained. She hid herself in the shadow of the trees and waited, but not long. Soon her husband and the widow ex changed good night with their hostess, the lat ter remarking, in a lively torn 1 , that she should ’certainly tell his wife.” They seated tliem- “Now, boy V added Lieut.

The simple wools, however, pro duced the most complete re-action in the feelings of the faithless husband. He looked into the pale face of his wife, and met her clear gaze, and saw that she knew all. He said: - “M., we must take Mrs. home, and then I will tell you how it happened.’ They did take Mrs. home, and lcltbcr there. The husband and wife seem aftection- atc and devoted as ever : but thc widow is dis- satisfied with society at the IVcst, and thinks of going East this Fall. Our Itclations with Mexico. We liavc the best of reasons for believing that the embryo treaty between the two coun tries will be. definitely concluded before Con gress convenes. Thc chief ohtaclc to its immediate conclusion is contained in the proposed stipulation on the pa Tl of this government in relation to thc con trol which it shall exercise over thoright of the different transit ways which Mexico agrees to convey to us through her territory. It is natural enough that she should wish to exercise supreme control over her affairs within her limits. It is quite as natural that wc should wish to protect our interests there in thc event that she may have thc incapacity or the indis position to do so herself. The most expeditious routes from the Atlan tic to the 1‘acific, when opened, must ever be those which are located in SIcxico. There can lie but little doubt that thc first continuous rail road connecting the two oceans will terminate cither at Guayamas or Mnzatlan. Ten years will not probably elapse before a continuous line of locomotive communication will be completed from Portland to the latter port, if ample security can be given to tlio Uni ted States that traffic shall not be subjected to interruption by Mexican outlawry. Mexico will he benefitted by such line to an amount which would surpass the most extrav agant computation of a rational investigation of the subject. As in the North, through our agency, so in the South, she will derive large advantages from thc completion of tlie Tehuantepec enter prise. But before her resources can be successfully developed, she must give an ample guaranty that capitalists shall be efficiently protected in their investments. This she can do in no other manner than by conferring power upon this government, to use, if necessary, physical force for the purpose. With such terrible outlawry acts as ■ have been committed during thc last two or three years in Mexico, no sensible American would engage in any enterprise in that republic un less lie had substantial assurances that he would be shielded against all adverse eventualities by his own government. We very well know that the present govern ment of Mexico is entirely well-intentioned, as relates to its intercourse with our citizens, but it may occur that it will find itself incompetent to execute its wishes. In thatcase it wouldlike- iy desire our assistant, when it would find an opposing party arrayed against the measure.— To guard against such a contingency, it would to tUo |mrl of wisdom for her to arrange' tlie matter definitively by a treaty stipulation. We regret to learn that Mexico is not pre pared to dispose of Lower California at present. A few months later, perhaps, she will be dispos- ed to do so for a just consideration. Ilcr lead ing men perceive distinctly that it is compara tively of no value to her, but thc sentiment is so strong, with a vast majority of the people, against the sale of any more territory, that a short time will be required to obtain their tacit assent to its transfer. To the United States its acquisition is of pri mary importance. It is indispensable to the successful development of the country border ing upon the Pacific, and to the rapid extension of our commerce and navigation in that ocean. We trust that before the adjournment of Con gress we shall sec it within our embraces. The period seems to be so propitious for ac complishing all that immediately concerns our interests in Mexico, that we confidently expect to sec the treaty, which is in embryo, perfected by thc respective negotiators, by tlie end of No vember. Mr. Mata will probably l>e full} - em powered, if he is not already, to do so before that time. The Miramon concern has not so much as the shadow of a chance to sustain its puny ex istence through the approaching winter. It is us good as hermetically sealed, aa relates to ex ternal intercourse. Not so much as one port, or one mile of sea-board, is in its possession. Its effort to exercise authority is thc mcarest mock ery ol public administration that ever was at tempted by desperadoes. With thc control ofall the custom-houses, the Libcralists are receiving, from week to week, a at thc Moor's house, but not an attempt was | made to intercept the progress of the party, thc Algerines being content with scowls and 1 denunciations. Ten minutes later the rescuers were at the cutter, twenty minutes more and tlie entire party was safely back to the Constel lation, not having lost a man. The young Lieutenant received the hearty thanks or the superior, to say nothing of the gratitude of Mr. j Collins and his daughter, whose family proved to be of consequence in New York; and we are 1 in liis life than when Miss Alice was united to one of liis chums, a noble-hearted Lieutenant, ■ now a Commodore, «ho fell in l„v» wit!, tlio rescued maiden during thc Constellation’s pas sage homeward. Tolerably Ricb. In the Canadian House of Assembly, not long since, they had quite a spirited debate on thc h>H to prohibit tlie use of hoops and crinoline, introduced by Aiken. We publish a few of the most brilliant passages : Sir. Drummond was an ardent admirer of I hoops from childhood. He was horn with whooping cough ; and even now thc sight of an empty hogshead brought tears into his not proceed to Holyhead but sail direct from Portland. Tlie accident caused a slight de cline in the shares of the Company, but did not influence thc general confidence in the ship. Newly Discovered Gold Mines in ’ GEORGIA. Col X. J. Scott of Auburn, Alabama, on his return from New York, favored our sanctum with a visit a day or two since, and left with us a circular, from which we gather thc following facts : Messrs. Mohonc Sc King have purchased thc “Glade mines near Altoona in Cass County, Ga. Thc value*of these mines is incalculable. Col. Scott informed us that he was offered while at thc North, three hundred thousand dollars, for three eight’s interest in these mines, by res ponsiblc parties and refused it. Professor John Darby, a man of long experience and practical knowledge in natural science, lias examined these mines personally, and gives his testimony in favor of tneir vast richness. He says: The great Altoona branch, in Cass county, Georgia, rises in this property, "from which mil lions of dollars have been taken out from 1832 to tlie present time; and this branch and other branches rising in this property would now yield profitable results, in getting what gold was left from the rude and imperfect working of former years. There arc three principal gold veins running through this property, all of which have been tested and gave tlie most gratifying results. I have been over the gold-bearing region of Georgia as well as of other States, and have studied their geology, and I have no hesitation in saying; that I have seen nothing to equal the indications of the Mahonc and King Mines. I entered the opening made on one of the veins, with a workman, and took out more than fifty dollars of gold with less than thirty minute’s labor. There arc three hundred and twenty acres of land in this property, and thc length of thc three veins cannot be less than two miles, and the amount of deposit gold is in large quantity. I have given the above from memory, at thc re quest of jiartics interested, and it is not above, what a strict examination will bear out. The specimens that it has yielded in nuggets ol gold taken from thc quartz rock weighing as high as eighteen or nineteen dwtg., are seldom equalled by the most productive regions of the' globe, and 'hat too, under circumstances tlie least fa vorable to Its proper development. Those de sirous of engaging in mining operations for gold, need not go to California, or New South Wales, but in thc State of Georgia may find as safe in vestment of capital as the world affords ; na ture has planted it there, it cannot deceive.” Richardson’s NewMethoc FOR THE PI AIVQ-FORTE is A DECIDED SUCCESS AXD IS RAPIDLY DKCOMIXO Tlie Standard Work of Piano Instruction.

The Accident to the Great Eastern. On the afternoon of the Oth, when the Great Eastern was off Hastings, a feed-pipe casing the forward tunnel, which bad been introduced on the ground of economy in heat, and to keep the heat of thc funnels from thc cabin, exploded with terrific force, blow ing thc funnel into Hie air, and tearing to pieces the grand saloon fid lower deck cabins, through which thc fun nel passed, and otherwise doing great damage to tlie internal fittings. Great consternation prevailed on board, but efforts prompt were made to get at thc unfortunate uicn at thc en gineering department, who were either buried in the rubbish or prostrated by the steam.— Three firemen were found in a dying state and soon expired, while eight others were injured, two of whom subsequently died. One fireman was lost overboard, having cither fallen into thc water or jumped into it to escape scalding.— The injured met: were generally progressing favorably, although two or- three of them were in a precarious condition. The numerous guests on board had only quited thc grand saloon, through which the funnel passed, and in which they had been dining, a few minutes before thc explosion took place. But for this, thc conse quences would have been most serious. The explosion is skated to have probably been one of the most terrific yvhich a vessel lias ever sur vived, and which none in the world could have withstood, save a structure of such mar velous strength as the Great Eastern. She not only resisted it, her frame sustaining no injury whatever; but it made so little difference in the movements of the vessel that the engines were never once stopped till she reached Port land. It is asserted that great objections had bcen made to the casting around thc funnels, but the directors persistedjn adopting tho plan, notwithstanding it had been tried and aban doned Ijy the Collins and other steamers. * Prior to theaccident thc performance of the Tessel was most satisfactory, and she was al most without motion, while large vessels in her vicinity were pitching and tossing in a stormy sea. A survey of the vessel had been held, and estimates sent in to forthwith repair thc dam age at a cost of qot more than io,000, the in jury being far less considerable than was at first supposed.. Little if any delay would take place in the departure of the ship on licr first voyage, but a ruruor prevailed that she would Tlie Aurora Rorcalis. Accounts from all quarters indicate iiiat thc late displays of thc Aurora extended over a very large portion of thc earth’s surface, from beyond thc Cnnadns to the Gulf of Mexico nnd the West India islands—probably over thc lar ger part of thc North American continent—and Eastward as far, at. least, as the Western coast of Europe. It was seen in England on the morning of the 2Gth of August, a time corresponding with our midnight display of the 28th, and showing what has been frequently observed, that these phenomena occur simultaneously in places wide ly separated. Beechvu Gets the Worst of it.—A good joke is told of Beecher and Park Benjamin. On one of their lecturing expeditions they were riding in tlie same railway car. Getting into conversation about preaching, Beecher was so courteous as to ask Benjamin to come over to Brooklyn some Sabbath morning, and bear him. “I do not know where vour meeting bouse is,” siid Benjamin, “how shall I find it ?” “Oh,” replied Beecher, “all you have to do is to come over one of thc ferries, and follow thc crowd.” “I would come,” continued Benjamin, “hut for one reason.” “Ah! what is that?” asked Beecher. “Because,” said Benjamin with a merry look out of his eyes, “I make it an invariable rule never to go to any place of amusement on Sun days.” Cool Ihhi’dexce.—“Will you oblige me with a light, sirf” “Certainly, with the greatest of pleasure,” says tho stranger, knocking off his ashes with his little finger, and presenting the red of his cigar with a graceful bow. Smith commences fumbling in his coat poc ket, takes out his handkerchief, shakes it, feels in his vest pocket with a mast deperate energy, looks blank. “Well, I do declare, haven’t got one, as true true as thc world. Have you another you could spare “Certainly,” says the stranger, with a smile, “and I beg you will accept ik” There is a puff, puffing till the fresh cigar ignites, when they separate with a suave bow and wave of the hand. Smith chucks his friend, who was near splitting with laughter, under the ribs, with: “There! didn’t I tell you 1 would get itT That’s tlio way to get along in this world. Nothing like cool, polite impudence.” IVasn’l Acquainted.—Two drunken fellows were walking along in tlm rain. The drunkest one then asked: “Dick (hie) does-er rain (hie)!’’ “In course it rains,” said Dick. The answer was apparently satisfactory, and they proceeded several rods farther, when thc question was again propounded by tlie anxious searcher after truth under difficulties: “Dick, I say D (hie) tell me, doer-cr rain ?’’ ••Johnny,” said Dick solemnly, “I’m afraid ver drunk"; in course it’s raining.” In a few minutes Johnny was again troubled with doubts, and sought to solve them. “Dick, scems-cr me (hie) scr-goin iliic) cr- rain (hie)!” Dick exasperated—“Johnny, yer a fool. Don’t yer see it is a rainin’. Can’t yer feel it rainin', Johnny?” Johnny—“’Sense me, I) (hie). I aint much acquainted in this town (hie)!"

It is said that a Pe ruvian surgeon is going to London and Paris, -where he expects to make a fine harvest He warrants tlie ladies thc tiniest and most grace ful foot> by means ol tho above named ampu tation, and confinement to tho house ol only one week. Tlie writer adds, that a custom of this kind prevailed pretty generally in Pans, some years ago, kept up by a very reprehensi ble complaisance of a surgeon, who had ac quired some celebrity touching the silly muti lation. A physician in Louisvillo has discovered that by living principally on buttermilk, a human being may prolong existence to tho period of two hundred years. In Austria, iron is reduced by grinding to a very fino powder, and used as a medicine, it being found superior to tho carbonates or ox- vdes of iron, which arc much used by our pit} - ■dm IRON HOOPS AND TIES, FOr. COTTON BALES. Price (5 cents per pound, 25 per cent1 less than Rope. Any one considering the advantages of Iron over Rope as a material fur binding cotton bales, will be surprised that it has not been adopted long since.— In is security against fire, there is an overwhelming reason for Us adoption. The presses in the seaport cities have been the main causo of Us not being generally adopted; but now that objection is removed generally, and the Orleans Press, the largest in New Orleans, gives it ths* preference over rope. TheFassman Iron Hoop and Tie is the improvement of ono oftbe proprietors, and ia adopted from the fact, that it is round, after long experiment, to combine tbe greatest merits in simplicity and facility of application of any one yet made. It is so prepared as to require no change for re-compressing. Tims obviating the only remain ing difficulty at the seaboard cities. The hoops arn sent of any length, from eight ot ten feet, and a full guarantee given that neither tbe Ties nor Hoops shall breaks Aud further, that all cotton bound in them shall be received on the same terms, at the Orleans Press, as rope bound cotton.— The weight per bale is about the same as rope, not ono pound more or less. To abow the opinion shipmasters have of it, we give the following, among nnmerons commenda tions we have: Tbe undersigned masters of vessels, having had eotton compressed with Fasaman’a new Iron Hoops and Ties, hereby recommend the same.
