— ~ New York, Tuesday, August 17, 1887. ——————— News from Europe. : At the time of our going to press this morn- ing, we bad not received any tidings of either the French or British steamer, both of which are due. The former is seventeen days at sea, if she sailed at the time advertised, and the other thirteen. It is probable we shall hear of them to-duy. As usual, we shall issue an Extra Herald immediately after we receive newsjby either. Present and Prospective Position of Political Parties. hs The elections, which have been going on for some time past, for members of the Thirtieth Congress, bid fair, at one time, to bring about a change in the political complexion of the House of Representatives. The recent elections have placed the position of the two parties about where they were, and the result is still very doubtful. it is impossible to tell how the elec- tions about coming off will go, but, so far, the whigs are in the ascendancy. We annex a table, showing the result of the elections, so faras actually known. It will be perceived that the whigs aave gained twenty- nine members. Memorns Evrotep. Whig.

In the event of the political com- plexion of the members about being elected being precisely similar to that of those whose terms have expired, the whigs will have a majo- rity of only four, by no means a good working majority, where there 1s so much political spos- taey and 80 muny political renegades. It is, however, fair to suppose that the whigs will have a larger majority, that they will gain some- thing in the elections about coming off, and that they will make a better show on paper than they now have ; but we have very little faith in the orthodoxy of politicians in these degenerate times, and, therefore, think that one party has just about as good a chance asthe other. The more equally they are divided, the more fun we shall have during the session, and the less chance of anything of importance heing done in the way of business. We have carefully corrected the new list of members of the 30th Congress, and shall give it to-morrow in as perfect a state as possible to make it. The Postmaster General_The Newspapers— and the Merchants. of the people has always been considered essen- tially necessary to the perpetuation ef American institutions, and the preservation of our rights. It has accordingly been adopted asa cardinal principle by political parties, and encouraged by successive administrations, from time to time, by affording every facility to the proprietors and publishers of newspapers, which have become so generally read, that they are considered indis- pensable companions of every family in the land. Under this judicious policy the newspaper press of the United States reached a greater circula- tion than i: has in any other country, and we are satisfied tuat it exercises a most beneficial effect on its millions of readers. Wherever you go—to the interior of the far west—to the confines of the Rocky Mountains—in every log cabin and thatched hut in the land, you will see anewspaper of some kind, the daily perusal of which must of necessity improve and edify ite readers. Of all thre heads of the Post office Department of the general government, who have exerted themselves to promote the circulation of know. ledge by the medium of newspapers, Amos Ken- dail and John M. Niles stand forth in bold relief. While these gentlemen were in office, it was their constant anxiety to procure the removal of obstructions in the way of newspaper circula- tion, and make it as free as the air they breathed. To Mr. Kendall in particular, who was perhaps the best Postmaster General we have everhad, the people of the United States are under the great; est obligations for his exertiens in this respect- while of all the post masters that have ever held office since the first establishment of our govern- ment, Mr. Cave Johnson, the present incumbent, | -three hundred and ninety-four. greeted on her return to the stage, is flattering testi- cured fort the occasion. The roll news ‘and Admired Barn wi 1e of Doctor O'Toole, PAY Rp st: in The Irish Pecan?)

The democracy are proud of progress, but with Cave Johnson it progresses back wards. West Inpia Naws.—We have received papers from Kingston, Jamaica, from the 12th to the 80th of July last, inclusive ; but we find nothing in them of interest. The coolies, it appears, are either too lazy or or not inclined to work, and sickness and desti- tution are carrying them off rapidly. A cargo of three hundred had recently arrived, a large number of whom—twenty-five—died on their passage. It was, at one time, feared that the continued absence of rain would seriously injure the crops, but all apprehensions were relieved by abundant showers. ss Hears or Tue Ciry.—The city is becoming quite healthy. The deaths last week were only Of these one hundred and ninety-three were children under five years of age. Tue steamer Puiavevruta, which left here for Cherbourg, Sunday morning, at half-past 8 o’cleck, was seen off Fire Island at 5 o’clock the sume afternoon. ‘Theatrical. Panx Tneatar.—Mr. Frazer took his benefit at the Park leat evening. There was a good attendance, and “Le Sonnambula” was performed to the satisfaction of all. Madam Bishop acquitted herself in such a manner 1 to call down the house in applause at her perform- ances, The finale, which she again sung in Italian, was by request, twice repeated, and received each time with the greatest enthusiasm. Mr. Frazer was called upon to repeat his song of “ Still so gently” and was, moroover, called out to receive the congratulations of his auditors. Mrs. Bailey and Mr. Brough also did. well in their parts, aud Chapman, as ever, made considerable fun of the low ‘comedy part * Alesso.”’ To-night is the lastnight of the opera season, and a part of * La Sonnambula” will be again presented, with the whole of “Linda of Chamo- nix,” and the twozlast scenes of the comic opera of * L’Elisir d’Amoro,” including the new monn: Bowie, composed st Naples by Donizetti tor Madame Bishop, who will appear as Adina, with Mr. Frazer as Nemorino. Added to all of which will be performed the farce of the “ Seoret.” The benefit night of that celebrated vocal- ist, Madame Anna Bishop, and her Is t performance at the Park theaire, previous to her leaving for Boston and other cities, will take place on Wednesday, the 17th in- stant. On that occasion we are informed that the gifted Grtist will present to her friends and the public a grand dramatic entertainment in costume similar to those she gave with so much success at Vienna, St. Petersburg, Munich, Rome, &c., and whioh at Naples created such a sensation a#to gain her the permanent post of Prima Donna dt cuntello, at the great San Carlos, the first theatre in the world, as it is the largest. Bowery Turatae.—The beautiful play of “ Love's Sacrifice” will be repeated this evening, Mrs, Shaw, of course, taking the part of Margaret Ellmore. It really appears that this lady gets more perfect in her profession every time wo see her. Her actidg of this difficult part is decidedly beautiful and thrilling. In other respects, the cast is the same as it was last night. Mr. Clarke, who is one of the best actors on the stage, and who will play with Mrs. Shaw during her engagement, will take the part of Eugene de Lorme ; Mf. C. Burke that of Jean Ruse, Mr. Bellamy that of the Friar, aud Mr. Marshall that of Matthew Elmore. The drama of the “ Inchcape Bell,” whioh is piece of sterling merit and splendid scenery, will conclude the amusements for the evening. The uproarious applause with which Mrs, Shaw is always mony of the estimation in which she is heid by the play- going public. Mr. Clarke acts and feels as if he were among old friends. CuatHam Tueatne.—Four capital pleces will be per- formed at the Chatham Theatre, and @ crowded audi- enoe will be there to see them, particularly when it is known that the reovipts will be for the benefit of Mr. and Mrs, Howard, whore exertious to please the public are, we are confident, properly appreciated. The pieces are ‘The Queen’s Own,” “ The Irish Pretender, or New Lights,” “ The Widow's Victim,” and the Irish como- dy, “ Teddy the Tiler.” ‘There is a host of talent se- ‘Phe Widow's Victim;” Mr. ira. Howard, and Miss Bernard is ® popular ballad singer, lately Paumo's—Tur Raveis—The well known and celebra- ted Ravel family, last night made their re-appearance beforethe public of New York, for the first time sinee the great fire at Niblo’s Garden. The house was crowd- ed to excess, and we confess we never have seen that place so well filled. The door-keepers were at last obli- ged to refuse the entrance to many ladies and gentle- men. The English vaudeville company performed the farce of “ Fanchette,” in which we saw Mies Teylor, whose acting, voice and style of singing, ianeither worre nor better than it was two yearsago, As for \ cide and Sefton, they excited roars of laughter. ‘The exereiae on the Tight Rope by Frangols Re M’me Martin Javelli, M. Javelli, and “La were] received with always the same elasticity. rai and M. Leon the same daring for which hi celebrated at Niblo's, The Polka, executed by Mme. Javelli and Mr. Wells showed us these two artists ina very graceful dance; and the whole concluded with the tomime of “M. Dechalameau,” in which Gabriel vel sustained the character of ‘Rocquinet. We had oceasion .to speak of Charles Winther's personation of the same character, and said that he was the copy of Gabriel; if the last stand as the first, the first is the se- cond. ‘Che entire performance went off in a grand styles and during the intermission, we had occa- tion to promengde on the vast piazza, just built over the bath Rouse, which, lighted with colored glasses, produced a beautiful ‘effect. This is deci- dedly @great improvement, and whilst taking @ good ice cream, one may enjo eet music of Lamana’s orchestra, which plays the latest waltzes and Polkas of the best composers. In short, if not equal to Niblo’s Garden, it is second only to it. No doubt that with such an attraction at the Ravels, Palmo’s theatre will be well attended for the entire season. To-night the grand pantomime of * Vol-au-Vent,” together with the farce | lent assault and battery on his wife. Tur Itatian Orvna.—The Havana company of Ita- liane, under the direction of Signor Villarino, who not long since carried usall away enraptured at the excel- lence of their “performances, have just returned from a professional tour to the fashionable watering places, and are about to open at Castle Garden, where they will ] pear to-morrow night for the first time, in costume.

Their songs overtures, choruses and all, were admirably executed, and were received with great applause. The serenaders give evidence of very good talent, and show that they juve faithfully rehearsed thelr pieces.

We understand that the Waterwitch curried out several despatches from the Keying’s crew, though we hope they were not as @ as their visiting cards which are exhibited on board—if they were, we cannot imagine how the mailbags of usual size could contain them, Oven Dose ov Lavpanum.—Coroner Walters, on Sunday evening, hold an inquest ut 27 Lewis street, on the body of Clara M. Smith, aged 3 months and 10 days. From the evidence, its appears that the aunt ofthe de- ceased, stout s week ago, sent her dau, iter, aged eight ears, to w druggist’s for some paragoric, but by some Inistake lnudauum was purchased instead; a portion of it had been used by the. family as paragorio. On Fri- day last the mother of the deceased, to relieve her child of pain in the bowols, prepared forty drops with sugar und water, aud gave a portion, Soon after the child came stupid and drowsy. and towards evening of Sunday died. ‘There was no evidence to show at what store the mistake had been made, as a week hid elapsed since it was purchased, and the bottle had not upon it the label of the proprietor of the store, who was said by the child to have sold it. Verdict, death by an over dose of Inuda- num, obtained for paregoric, from some place to the jury unknown. Suicipy.—The coroner held an inquest also at No. 35 Walnut street, on the body of a female of dissolute habits, named Ellen Smith, alias Bridget Hagan, a ne- tive of Ireland, aged 28 years, who committed suicide on Sunday night, by taking corrosive poison, which she procured under pretence of using it in killing bed bugs. ‘erdict accordingly. Tyrxus Frven.—The Coroner held inquests at No. 6003¢ Washington street, upon the bodies of Gracia Brown, a native of Connecticut, aged 20years; and Julia Robinson, s native of New Jersey, aged 42 years—one of who mdied about 100’clock on Sunday night; the other morning. Verdict in each case, death Fatat Accipent.—A sad accident occurred in this city yesterday, which resulted in the death of a fine lit- tle boy of about four years of age. It appears that when one of Hatfleld & Beriine’s stages was passing the junc- tion of Division and Grand streets, tho child ran under the stage, and before the driver perceived him, the wheels — over the poor little fellow’s head, breaking the skull and crushing the brain—of courve killing him instantly. The accident probably would not have occur- red, if it was not a habit of drivers to take passengers on the top of their vehicles. The driver of the stage in question, had a few minutes previously taken up & boy, whom he seated along side of him, and he was perhaps attending to his safety, and not paying as much atten- tion to his horses as he would have done if he had had nothing else to engage him. Brooklyn Intelligence. County Court ano Count oF Sxsstons.—Both of these Courts adjourned on Saturday sine die. Ovrraoxous Assauit.—As William A.

A verdict of Found drowned” was rendered. An inquest was held yesterday on the body of a child, aged only five months, It appeared that the child was given a spoonful of laudanum, instead of paregoric.which caused its death. A verdict was rendered accordingly. Porice.—Thomas Sweet was arrested for an attempt- ed rape on Harriet Bowman; examined and discharged John Willard, an English sailor, was arrested for kicking up aspree inthe streets. Poor John sald he thought this was a free country.and he could do what he thought proper. The court soon undeceived him by making him fork over $5.

Every petty annoy- ance which a narrow and illiberal spirit could think of has been inflicted on publishers, and every law that would harrase and annoy them has been suggested. For his exertions in this res- pect, Mr. Caye Johnson has entitled himself to any thing but the gratitude of the public. But it is not in this matter alone that Mr. John- son has proved himself unfit to hold the office he does. His hostility to the circulation of news- papers, is equalled by the narrow-minded and diminutive policy which characterises his ope- ations in other respects. With the view of nar- | rowing the expenses of the department, over | which he presides, he takes not into considera- tion the convenience of the public, but the few dollars he can save, The saving is the point he | aims at, not the accommodation of the publie.— Ae an instance of this, we may refer our readers | to his miserable mismanagement about the great | Southern mail,which could reach this city every | day at ter o’clock, as well asat three or four in | the afternoon. The Camden and Amboy rail- road brings to us every day Southern papers, » which we receive early in the day, whereas we do not get our letters until it is too lateto answer | them by the return mail. If our inconvenience is great, 1tis not near so great as that is sue- tained by the mercantile community. It is of | the highest importance to merchants to receive | their correspondence as soon aa possi.le, in order that they may operate advisedly, or direct their agents todoso? How is it now? Why, our merchants instead of receiving their letters at | ten o’eloek every day as they would do, if Cave | Johason were not so much behind the ageas he is, | do not receive them until three or four o’clock, | too late for sending answers by the return mail. | ‘This results from Mr. Johnson's practical appli- | estion of his mean, narrow contracted views. | Indeed, te has mede a svience of meanness, and has more ability to be a professor of it on | Operetta, of “Turning the ‘Tables”—and the Lehman | at Stonington 1 — the vaudeville company.

The Fancy Ball. 1am a cosmopolite, and! have changed my quarters for a few days, as you will see by the date of my letter. I am going to attempt to desoribe to you the famcy dress ball, which was given at the United States Hotel, last evening. 1 acknowledge that | am unable to-day to give 2 suttable description of this grand ball ; because, on ac- count of this affair, I have not slept in forty hours, Among the company at Saratoga, which is the best in America, there seemed to be general interest in this event; there were few who, if time could have been bad to make suitable preparations, would not have attended that ball. Many persons who have lately arrived did not know that such s ball was to be be given; til it was too late for them to prepare for it.— But there were no im to the ardor with which the resident visiters looked forward to this carnival, as something which would be mere brilliant and extraordinary than avy previous party; sums which some could not lose witheut becoming a beggar, were ex- pended for jewels and jdresses tobe worn upon this occa- sion, and in procuring these articles, there was all that furor and agitation and hubbub which is characteristic wn exclusives. bel nce porythey this ball was given is about one hun- dred and fifty feet by fifty, and it is only necessary to walk across the vestibule of the hotel to reach Lag! at lor, which is about'the same sise; the decorations of the room were very elegant and very fine; the chandeliers were disposed so as to make the light the mirror of a coup d’ait, which might have been like the Court circles of Queen Klizabeth of England. Wreaths ot evergreens and bouquets of it flowers beautified the walls and ceilings, and miniature flags of every nation which supports a navy, I believe, were hanging just above the heals of the dancers. ‘The doors were opened at pine o'clock, and the entrée immediatel; ; the press of iteide was so tremendous that it was necessary the 8 _with tables, Ko. &o., in order veyou ost ofthe characters personated I will now give you a tist of ol personated, with the Ainlacor the name of the individual per- sonating each character. eral of the managers en- tered the room in civilian’s dress, and during the eve-, ning an immense number of ladies and gentlemen were allowed to enter the room without the fancy dress. | regret this, and would suggest to the gentlethen the great propriety of remaining away, unless they are wil- ling to comply with the programme of rules which are imperative to every gentleman. When these persons were allowed to come in ordinary, the ball was no longer a fancy dress ball. ‘The first character which I shall notice, was Charles IL, which was nobly sustained by the Adjutant General of this State. The General, in his own person and mind, is “every inch # king,” and I do not imagine there is any character which he can personate so well as that of a sovereign. | was rejoiced tp see that he was perfeotly happy, and I commend him to the world, because he is w: g to be @ patron of the fine arts, an because he loves to perform noble actions. The next character | noticed, was that of an angelic nun—s novice with a white gossamer veil disposed about her beautiful head and person in such @ manner as to prove that she understood the character of the brave ‘and gentle sister she was attempting to personify. Her reon was evidently matchless and fauitiess, and her Eead was more superb than heads of Cleopatra which I have seen, and which werethe productions of masters. She is the most beautiful woman | ever saw; it is Miss E. F., of New York. Iam told her temper is like her erson. PeThe next was Lieutenant Derby, of the army, in ole- t uniform. ‘This officer was wounded at Corto Goi jo, and the bullet remains in hisside. Electric flash suficient to aanthilate a common man, were directed at him from a hundred pairs of bright eyes. The next in order was @little Cupid. It was a child of five years, a son ot Mr. N. of New York. He wore an elastic dress, which fitted closely to his form, so to counterfeit the nudity of the original Cupid as nearly as possible, He had bis little bow and bis pretty quiver of arrows, and his wings, also. Mrs. C., of Philadelphia, sustained the character of a maid of honor of the court of Louis XIV. She is w lovely and majestic woman, Miss C., of the to secure the same city, ed admirably in the character of Norma. 4 H., of the same city, a talented and lovely woman, sustained -the charsoter of @ Dutch or Swiss peasant girl in & most accurate way. Mrs. T. of New York, as the Queen of Night, looked like something which was worthy of homage and admiration.

T.; this gentleman wasin complete Saracen armor, which was gorgeous; in fact. Mr. Taylor, of Prince street, New York, who was the costumer for this ooca- sion, has a collection of the mos¢ magnificent fancy dresses in the world. e Mr. T. 8. personated Sir Walter Raleigh, and the speaker of the assembly personated Sir Koger de Cover- ly, im an able manver. There were sever! French boat- men; these characters were well sustained in some case! —others, however, wore lace collars and white kid glover which boatmen do not wear.

Sporting Intelligence. The great- trot between Lady Suffolk and Moscow, which was advertised to come off over this course yes- terday, caused considerable excitement among the town residents. The attendance was very large, and the road to the track was crowded with pedestriaus, equestrians, and carriages of all kinds. About five thousand persons were present ; among the spectators were a number of lovely women from the south, whose interest in the event seemed greater even than that of the gentlemen The straight stretch down the front of the track—a third of a mile—was lined with carriages two deep. The weather was perfectly enchanting,though, on account of the late rains, the track was somewhat heavy. The course is about four rods in width, and is said to be one of the finest in America, The horses were on the ground at half past three; neither of the ani- mals seemed to be in proper condition; and the horse was deelared to besick, and unsbleto make good trot, The odds were immensely in favor of the mare; Jo's an individual offered to bet one hundred dol- lars to twenty that the horse would be distanced the first heat. Fifty dollars to twenty were frequently bet upon Suffolk. There were takers at any odds,— foscow went to a sulkey and the mare to # wagon. At four o’clock the horses were called to the stand, and at the first attempt to get off, Moscow broke. The second attempt was successful, and the start was ver ren. — The horse was inside quarter, which the; reached in forty-two seconds, the horse was a lengt! tn eavence, Here he made very bad break, and fell behind the mare some six lengths. All the efforts of his driver could not prevent him from breaking several times in succession during the heat. The mare reached the stand six lengths ahead, at a pace of about six miles to the hour. Time. 2:52. Heavier odds @ offered upon the mare, but there were no takers. At the second heat the mare had the choice of place, and they got off pret- tily at the firet attempt; at the quarter pole Suffolk was alength in advance, when she broke, and Moscow in- etantly went in front about four lengths; it was some seconds before the mare could be brought to her work ; she soon recovered, and in making up the gap down th back etretch her speed was perfectly tremendous; at thi three quarter pole she lapped the horse, when both ani- mals broke up at the same instant; the mare recovered first, and went in advance five lengths, which she main- tained to the stand—time 2 54! At the end of this heat the horse appeared to be exocedingly distressed. Hin owner, Dunham, passed into the judges’ stand, and stated that the horse was sick ; and requested that he might be withdrawn; the judges assented, and it was announced that Suffolk had won the purse. Subsequently, however, Mr. Whelpley, the trainer of Moscow, declared that Gen, Dunham had right to withdraw the horse; Mr. W. had paid the trance money, and he insisted that nobody could wit draw the horse but himself. The Judges, w consul- tation, refused to award the purse to Suffolk, until she had fon another heat. T! *t, announced that the: were in error, and Gen. Dunham could not be al- lowed to withdraw the horse, because by @ contract be- tween himself and Mr. Whelpley, the entire control of Moscow had been given to the latter gentleman. ‘The horses were then brought up for the third heat; considerable time had ela; wince the last heat, on ac- count of the misunderstanding | have mentioned, and Moscow seemed to have quite recovered. Th very fair and ever to the very utmost; at the quarter he was a length al and going at a remarkable rate; suddenly he broke, and the mare went in advance three lengths ; from this point down the back side to the three quarters, the horses | went at arate which I have never seen equalle: cow gained constantly, and when at the last q lapped the mare in spite of all her efforts, a great cheer was given by the spectators ; Suffolk broke at the turn, and the horse went in front ; the excitement was great ; Moscow retained his ion in front, and passed the distance stand #1 in front of the mare; every body was astonished at the mettle of the horse,and everybody | was confident he mu win; LS they were destined te | be disappointed; orse seemed. sure e heat until he wes within iteqn rods of the stand; here he made s terribly bed break, and in consequence, the mare beat him by ® neok.

The canal was closed on the 7th, and we believe the merchants desire that it should be re-opened, not later than the 15th uF ts of oy month, i crops promise tolerably good. ‘The Elletrle ‘Telegraph has been. recently completed from hence to Toronto, and the line is this time finished—or nearly so—from this city to Quebec. We shall, no doubt, have it speedily extended to Halifax, The condition of the emigrants daily arriving amongst us, though somewhat leas ful than at the commence- ment of the season, is most distressing. The whole number landed during the season to the 15th of August, in Quebeo and Montreal, was 70,006, being 42,863 more than last year, Of these 4,672 had died at Grosse Isle up to the 4th of July; and on the 6th of Ai it, Sthere were 2.148 sick in the hospital there. In Montreal, at this date, there are in the Emigrant Hospital, 1,179 sick sons ; and during the past fortnight the deaths at e Sheds have amounted to 286, But this does not ex- hibit the whole loss of life; for besides several deaths reported by the usual municipal authorities, it appears thet 386 have beon buried in the Ema jgront burial ground since the 29th June, whose deaths have not been reported at all. We can, therefore, hardly put the num- bers down at less than 450 persons in the fortnight. Among the citizens the sickness has, as ahown by the re- turns, much decreased, ovine preety, to a great de- ut crease of temperature; mortalit; chil- dren is still very great; and the weekl: rate onthe whole population ‘ly exceeds that of rear. in theatricals, we have lately had Mr. Wallack, and now have Mr. Anderson.

This is the second vessel which has arrived this season with railway iron for that company; the former, the Annette, Gilbert, brought 1,546 bars, or 245 tons. We understand that th 1 re- maining rails, to complete sixteen miles of the road from Longueuil to the river Richelieu (1,600 tons) are in transit for Montreal. ‘The exports for the ousrent year have been considers- biy more than double that for the corresponding period of 1846, ‘Heavrn or Monrreat.—The Montreal Board of Health makes the following official returns of | burials, from the Sth June to the 7th August, 1847 :— Died in the city... +++ 01730 Emigrants died at the 1610 Total of deaths in nine weeks. teens In corresponding nine weeks last year, including migrant 0 +2762 309 Increase in 1847... 0. cee eee eeee eee Fever cases amon. residents, in nine weeks, 1847, In corresponding nine weeks, 1846.,.....+...

Cotumpia River, Orgcon.—Fearful stories are told of the perils which are encountered .at the mouth of the Columbia river; and on looking over a file of the Oregon Svectator, we ere to find that Mr. Curry, the editor, has set seriously to work to disabuse the public mind with regard to a matter of so much im- portance. As the Spectator remarks :—* Such is the bad reputation of the river, that ‘whalemen would rather be wrecked outside than venture in,’ while the fact appears to be, that an ignorance of the channel is the chief diffi- | oulty.”’ The Spectator says :—‘ We are at length com- | pelled to say something upon the subject—to tell the truth, to speak it plainly, boldly, and ina manner that will silence opposition; and more particularly are we in- | duced to this course, by seeing in the marine news of the Polynesian, of October 10th, a report by Capt. Parsons, | of the ship Mariposa, that ‘the Mariposa struck several times on the bar, in coming out of the Columbia river.’ We must very bluntly tell Capt. Parsons that his ship was not in the channel if she ‘struck several times on the bar,’ or ifshe was she must draw an immense depth of water, as there is at any stage of the tide full five fathoms of water in the channel.” Two United States vessels of war have been wrécked at the mouth of the Columbia, and many years ago a ship belonging to the Hudson’s Bay Company. Tia is the foundation of the | prejudices against the entrance of this river. The Spec- tator insiste upon an acquaintance with the channel be- ing all that is necessary, and as a proof of it hes the fol- lowing :—‘* We have but to state the tact, that Captain Crosby, of the bark ‘Toulon, readily ac- quainted himself with this channel; that upon the strength of this ascquaintanceship, he piloted the Mariposa in at night, and anchored her safely in Baker’s Bay—that as oommander of the Toulon;:he went out of the river on his last trip to the islands, with the wind dead ahead—beating out—making tack for tack, | and in four tacks from the bay was at sea. We would likewise state the fact that the Toulon eame in this last time by the lead, without her commander seeing the land until he had made the cape at the mouth, as there was a heavy fog prevailing at the time ” A series of ar- ticles on this subject seems to establish the fact that ig- norance and unfounded alarm have done injustice to one of our noblest and mort important rivers. The Specta- tor, op one occasiun, thus concludes : “If we had but a steam tow boat, and it cannot be long, iu the nature of things, ere we will have one, our com- merce would enjoy a facility that would immediately, by a rapid enlargement, give it @ value and importance which otherwise it hag be years in attaining. Vessels in the winter time are liable to be subjected to delay in performing the extent ofriver navigation necessary to a communication with our markets. The currents of the Columbia are strong and swift, and the winds are not al- ways to be depended upon. nor are they slways availa- ble. Hence the importance—the necessity of steam ‘ tugs,’ for, in giving facilities to commerce, we most certainly forward the interests of Oregon.” Caravan FRom Tue SELKIRK SETTLEMENT.— On the 10th of July, there arrived at the village of St. Paul, near St. Peters and the Falls of St Anthony, Upper Mississippi, the most novel and original looking caravam that has ever a] : Ark was evacuated. Our readers are aware that there is an isolated heer gs 3 of several thousand inhabitants io @ high latitude of British North America, known as the “Selkirk Settlement.” Cut off from the commeroe of the world, they rely entirely upon their own resources, their farms, their flocks, and fishing, for support—being & community, so to speak, of Robi Their crops having failed the two last seasons, they forced to break out of the wilds again and seek food in the market of the great Brawling world. Formerly their ohief point of contact with commerce, was at but now, owing to the increase of suppiies on the Upper Mississippi, and the abundance of game and forage on that route, they trade at St. Paul, the head of steamboat navigation on the Mississippi river. Into St. Paul they oame, on the 10th of July, # caravan of one hucdred and twenty carts, in single file, wearily moving along by moonlight. Long after the head of the caravan had reached the village, the lengthened train of followers could be seen moving over the Minigame part. ly visible and partly hidden, between the billowy ridges of the extended plain, crawling onward like some buge serpent, the extreme rear still invisible and partly hid- den in the dimness of distance. They had travelled southward over the prairie six hundred miles, ‘ing been nineteen days on their wey, through a region abounding in buffalos—encamping ‘at night in a tent, around whieh the carts were arranged in acircle, tofence in the oattle. ‘They were hindered considerably in cror- sing some of the streams—and in many places found o scarcity offuel, and of even the dry excrement of the buffalo, which they ure for fuel. ‘They often suffered for want of water—as many of the smaller streams were 80 strongly impregnated with theexcrement of the bufalo asto be unwholesome They brought alongs large elk, a bear and some other animals, which they had captured on thelr way—and many packages of furs.

The coal business of Schuylkill county is progress- ing with the greatest rapidity. The amount of coal ahip- ped last week exceeded any previous one. The quantity shipped by railroad was 33,741 tons, and by canal 6,499; making a total for the week of 40,240 tons. ‘The quantity which passed over the Mine Hill and Schuylkill Haven railroad during the week is rising fif- teen thousand tons, making about two thousand five hundred tons per day requiring to be weighed at the scales. This is the largest weekly quantity ever des- patched over this road in any one week, and renders the duties of the officers vory laborious.

Coal is as low now as it will be at any time between this and next July, and those who lay in their stocks early in the season, generally save something handsome by the operation. As the season advances freights increase, and as the cold weather approaches dealers advance their pretensions, no matter what the supply may be igefrst hands.
