CHESS COLUMN. Several of our chess-loving subscribers are , crying to us for the solution of the Problem of * Max Lange of Berlin, taken from the New York Saturday Press, of 13th or 20th August last.— L Won’t the truant chess-editor of the Saturday * Press furnish it to us ? Errata —ln the report of game. V., in our last | number, page 141, two points (:) should have > been placed after the 14th move of the whites, which should read “Bishop e 3—b 6 : (11).” * And note 16 of the same game should con clude with the words three pieces instead of “these pieces.” j THE AUTOMATON CHESS PLAYER. ( We published in a former number, page 109, a an account of the origin of the famous automa ton. The following anecdote taken from the J same work, shows how narrow an escape Wor ousky, the irascible player and outlaw had, while playing a game, as automaton, with his impe- P rious sovereign. “ The three friends (Osloff, Kempelen, and J Worousky), were the more delighted as the in , strument promised to furnish Worousky with a mode of escape out of the Russian dominions, ' as well as to assure him a livelihood. That very > evening their plans were arranged; and in or der to arouse no suspicion, performances were to be given in all the towns through which they passed. These exhibitions were only too suc v cessful, and the Empress Catharine, excited by J the wonderful report of them, insisted upon j, having the automaton at the palace. The un- fortunate rebel, upon whose head she had set so ’ many rubles, was obliged to obey, although it j took himself and caravan no less than fifteen days to travel from Vitebsk to St. Petersburg; and the match with the empress herself came s off before the court. * “ The skilful Mussulman captured a bishop j and a knight, and the game was turning much L to the disadvantage of the lady, when the Turk, suddenly forgetting his dignified gravity, gave a f violent blow on his cushion, and pushed back a . piece liis adversary had just moved. Catharine r IL had attempted to cheat; perhaps to try the skill of the automaton, or for some other reason. L At any rate, the haughty empress, unwilling to confess her weakness, replaced the piece on the j same square, and regarded the automaton with I an air of imperious authority. The result was most unexpected—the Turk upset all the pieces ? with a blow of his hand, and immediately the . clock-work, which had been heard during the r whole game, stopped. It seemed as if the ma chinery had got out of repair. Pale and trem l bling, M. de Kempelen, recognising in this Wo rousky’s impetuous temper, awaited the issue j of this conflict between the insurgent and his I sovereign. » ‘“Ah, ah, my good automaton, your manners > are rather rough,’ the empress said, good-humor edly, not sorry to see a game she had small T chance of winning end thus. f Oh, you are a famous player, I grant; but you were afraid of L losing the game, and so prudently upset the pieces. Well, lam now quite convinced ofyour j skill and your violent character.’ ” And thus poor Worousky, who had lost so many limbs, managed at last to preserve his i head. . f OPENING HI. v (De la Bourilonnats 11.) > WHITE.

A (1) Although the king’s bishop is one of the most val uable pieces of the board, the player must not consent . to save it by losing time. ■ (2) If the Blacks had not made this move they wonld have given you time to occupy the centre with your pawns. (8) You might play Q d I—e 21, hut this move would ‘ allow the Blacks the opportunity of bringing out their queen's bishop. Moreover, a player should always avoid } placing his queen on the same line with his king when this line is open and unoccupied by pawns ; for then the i opposite player has often the opportunity of compelling * the sacrifice of the queen for an inferior piece, by placing the inferior pteco (rook or bishop) on the same line, and j checking king, or queen. * (4) The Blacks play this knight to enable them to bring out their queen's bishop, or to rid themselves of your king's bishop. f (5) You push up this pawn, in order to break those which cover the queeu of the Blacks. (6) The Blacks having advanced the pawn of their king's bishop two squares, you should now seek to post one of your knights on c 5. It cannot be dislodged from » this post unless it be taken by another piece; and then, ' you may unite your pawns at"the centre. (7) The Blacks are unwilling to effect the union of your j pawns by taking your knight They therefore retire. ■ (8) This move is necessary in order to prevent the knight of the Blacks from coming to your king's third square. J (9) In this position, the advantage is on the side of the Whites, because of the post occupied by the queen's . knight Nevertheless, this advantage is not sufficient to decide" the game. The Blacks should tike care not to . capture the knight until they have taken one of the 9 pawns which support it. This they may do by exchang ' lng the pawn of their queen’s bishop for the queen's pawn of the Whites; and then the games will be equal. PROBLEM VL f (From De la Bourdonnais, page 29.) WHITE. BLACK.

The Postal Deficiency. —The returns of the Post-Office Department to June 30th, have been revised, and the deficiency to be provided for by Congress, is $4,281,000. This is more than SIOO,OOO less than the deficiency of last year. ASrial Ship. —The New York Times an nounces that preparations are being made in that city for a voyage across the Atlantic in an air-ship. It is to be called the City of New York, and is to be under the charge of T. S. C. Lowe, a New Hampshire balloonist, who has made thirty-six ascensions. The dimensions of the ship are as follows: Greatest diameter (feet) - - - - 130 Transverse diameter (feet) - - - 104 Height from valve to boat (feet) - 850 Weight, with outfit (tons) - - j 3) Lifting power, aggregate (tons) - 22) Capacity of gas envelope (cubic feet) 725.000 This is five times as large as any Walloon pre viously constructed. Important Discovery. —Lieut. Huger, in charge of the West Florida coast purvey, has communicated to Prof. Bache, and through him to the public, the result of his surveys and sound ings of the “ channels of Cedar Keys,” the wes tern terminus of the Florida Railroad. They are most satisfactory. What is known as “ North west Channel,” is found to be far superior in sev eral respects to that now in use—more direct, wider, deeper and more easily connected with the line of railroad. Another, the most important result of this discovery, will be the gain of some two or thret hours in time to this city or any other wester i port. W [Mobile Register.

She is 800 tons burden, ba que-rigged, minus royals, measures 219 feet in length, and 31 feet in width. She is, like all gi nboats, principally intended for carrying very h< ivy metal into shal low water, and combines sti ength and solidity with roominess, aud yet c imparatively small proportions. One of her g>. ns will weigh no ness than 25,000 lbs., and is one of the most de structive sort. Besides this formidable piece of ordnance, two thirty-two j sunders, throwing shot with precision, will be c i board, thus ren dering her, manned by a t ell-drilled crew, a most powerful antagonist to ship or fort. She is expected to make ten knot* under steam alone, and twelve or thirteen with tteam and canvass.

Douglas’ protest, dated Fort Vancouver, W. T., Aug. 6, 1859: Sir—l have the honor to inform you of the receipt of an official protest made by you to the occupation of San Juan Island in Puget Sound, by a command of United States troops under my command. This aforesaid copy was furnished 'by Capt. Hornby, of Her Majesty’s ship Tribune, to the United States officer in command at San Juan Island, Capt. George Pickett, of the 9th infant ry of the American army; together with a com munication threatening a joint occupation of the San Juan Island by the forces of Her Majesty’s ships Tribune, Plumper, and Stalctite, now in the harbor of that Island by your orders. As the military commander of the Department of Oregon, assigned to that command by the or ders of the President of the United States, I have the honor to state for your information, that by such authority vested in me, I placed a mili tary command upon the island of San Juan to protect the American citizens residing on that island from the insults and indignities which the British authorities of Vancouver’s Island and the establishment of the Hudson’s Bay Com pany have recently offered them, by sending a British ship-of-war from Vancouver’s Island to convey the Chief Factor of the Hudson’s Bay Company to San Juan, for the purpose of seiz ing an American citizen and forcibly transporting him to Vancouver’s Island, to be tried by British law's. I have reported this attempted outrage to my government, and they will doubtless seek the proper redress from the British government. In the meantime, I have the honor to inform your Excellency I shall not permit a repetition of that insult, and shall retain a command on San Juan Island to protect its citizens in the name of the United States, until I receive further or ders from my government. I have the honor to be very respectfully, your obedient servant, W. S. Harney, Address of the House of Assembly on the San Juan Affairs.—At a recent session of the As sembly, the following proceedings took place re lating to the occupation of San Juan by the American forces. The House w'ent into committee on the sub ject of his Excellency the Governor’s message relating to Bellevue. Mr. Helmeken made a patriotic speech upon the subject, and submitted the following address, which, upon being seconded by Mr. McKay, was carried: ADDRESS. The House acknowledges the receipt of your Excellency’s communication of the 3d inst., re lating to the clandestine invasion of San Juan Island by the United States troops, aud the steps to be adopted in relation thereto. Since that communication it is well knewn that additional forces have been landed. The House would, therefore, respectfully in quire why the British forces were not landed, to assert our just right to the island in question, and to uphold the honor of our country and our Queen. The House would most urgently impress upon your Excellency to enforce upen Her Majesty’s Government the necessity of demanding from the Government of the United States, not only the immediate withdrawal of those troops, but also strenuously and at all risks, to maintain Her right to the island in question, and also to all other islands in the same archipelago, now so clandestinely, dishonorably and dishonestly ievaded. It is not for our country to be wantonly and insolently insulted, but redress must be de manded. The weakness of the colony is its greatest danger, and at the same time an inducement for the repetition of similar offences by similar per sons ; let it, therefore, be urged upon her Majes ty’s government, that sending our colonists rap idly from Great Britain is the surest way of not only maintaining peace, but of preserving intact Her Majesty’s possessions; coupled with this, the House would propose that free and liberal grants of land be given to such emigrants after settling thereon for a certain time. Brigadier General U. S. Army Commanding. Governor Douglass had committed a number of American citizens, by order of the Vancouver and Hudson Bay authorities. The Washington correspondent of the Balti more Sun, “ Aga,” gives the subjoined explana tion of our claims: “ The ground taken by the State Department is that the 49th parallel, or the line of the treaty of Utrecht, was the basis of agreement between us and Great Britain in 1846, but as the legiti mate extension of the line cut off the southern extremity of the British Island of Vancouver, we, in a spirit of liberality, deflected it south wardly so as to give the entire island to Eng land. It is held at the State Department, that it was the spirit of the agreement, and it was certainly the public understanding at the time. That the ‘channel’ flush up to Vancouver was meant seems clear, not only from the causes of deflecting the line, but from the fact that of the many channels for navigation of one sort or an other that wonld of course exist in so broad a body of water as the Gulf of Georgia, the chan nel of Haro, at the date of the negotiation of the treaty, was the only one much used or known. Since then, one of inferior character, to the east of it, has been used by reason of the gold dis coveries near it. It may also be urged that the fragments of land or islands constituting an ar chipelago in the Gulf of Georgia naturally at tach to the main land, and not the Island of Van couver. It will be remembered that Mr. Buch anan is not responsible for the treaty of 1846, since that it was negotiated upon terms 1 advised' by the Senate, which were, that the line of the treaty of Utrecht, as offered by Sir Robert Peel, should be the basis of arrangement. In the dip lomatic history, that line is spoken of by' Messrs. Monroe and Pinkney as one extending indefi nitely westward on the 49th parallel, and by Mr. John Quincy Adams ns one necessary to the United States to insure rontinuity of its posses sions from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean." Disaster to the English in China.—Hong kong, July 22.—Intelligence from the North is of the most distressing nature, our forces having been repulsed at the entrance of the Peiho with very severe loss. Mr. Bruce arrived off the Peiho on the 18th of June, and sought communi cation with the authorities on shore. No offi cers of rank were found, but some messages were interchanged between some petty Manda rians and Mr. Bruce’s suite. The tenor of these was, that the foreign Ministers would be allow ed to proceed to Pekin by a passage to the Northward, but that .no man-of-war would be allowed to enter the Peiho. They disclaimed acting under Imperial orders, stating that the forts and barriers were constructed by the country people to protect them against pirates. Failing to obtain any satisfactory intercourse, Mr. Bruce handed the matter over to Admiral Hope, who, on the 25th of June, proceeded to force a passage, which resulted in the total de feat of the British forces, with no less than five gunboats and about a third of the whole force engaged. The mouth of the river was effectual ly barred by iron stakes and booms. This bar was raked by the fire of the newly constructed forts on the other side of the river, mounting ninety to one hundred guns. Admiral Hope's appearance in the first instance was unmistaka bly pacific; a solitary man-of-war boat carried in his first message, the Fury and the two gun boats being left outside the bar while the rest of the squadron was lying thirty miles off. The Ambassadors finding no proper officers to re ceive them, decided to remove the bar and pass up the river. Six or seven hours, however, were spent in vain endeavors to effect this, aud during that time not a gun was fired from the forts, although the gunboats were at a distance of 500 to 700 yards only, and some of them had got aground. At 1.30 P. M. the signal for action was run up, and the Opossum and Plover pushed in close up to the first-barrier. Suddenly, batteries supported by a mongrel force of appa rently 20,000 meu, were unmasked and opened a destructive fire. After a severe action, the squadron was obliged to withdraw, with the loss of the gun-boats Cormorant, Lee, and Plover, and 46 killed and wounded. The French had 14 killed aud wounded out of 60. The Plenipoten tiaries have returned to Shanghai. A further telegram mentions that seven offi cers were killed and seventeen wounded, Admi ral Hope being among the latter. The Americans, though they took no part in the action, have been extremely kind in assist ing our wounded, and in various other ways have earned the good wishes of the whole squad ron. I send you a list of the killed and wound ed, which is a very heavy one, considering that the total number of men of all arms engaged, did not exceed 1300 men. I cannot now ascer tain the number of seamen and marines in each vessel, but the total loss, including officers and men of all arms, is 464 killed and wounded. The belief was universal throrghout the squadron that Europeans manned the batteries, as well as the Chinese. Men in gray coats, with closely-cropped hair and Russian features, were distinctly visible. The whole of the forti fications were evidently of European designing. The fire of the Chinese, both in weight and precision, was such as was never before expe rienced at their hands. The Times says: “ Henceforth negotiations must be carried on at Pekin, where no one can doubt Europeans will soon be as much at home and as safe as at Paris.” It concludes the arti cle with the following uncomplimentary reflect ions on the American Ambassador: “The American Ambassador, without force of arms, is said to have been admitted at Pekin.” American Iron. —The experiment upon the Georgia Central Railroad, as to the relative du rability aud cheapness of the American and im ported British Iron, was conclusive as to the ev ident superiority of the former. The General superintendent of that road has borne witness to the fact in his report. We extract the follow ing in relation to it: The Philadelphia North American publishes several conclusive testimonials as to the supe riority, both in point of durability and cheap ness, of rails, the result of which has proved in the highest degree favorable to the rails of our own manufacture from American iron. This road was supplied in 1856 with part im ported and part American rails; they were laid on opposite sides of the same track for a long distance, so that their qualities might be fairly tested, on perfectly equal conditions. The rails were of the same pattern, and an extra price was paid for the English rails to insure the best, quality of iron. After more than two years of wear, the General Superintendent of the road has given his report, from whtch it appears that the American rails were much better than the imported ones. Testimony of this character will, of course, have its due weight. HARRIED. (During the month of September , 1859.) Acrrr— Deerick—4th, in Madison county, Ala_ Mr. David L.
