There was sleo much talk of oge | on the question whe- ther Remelin would return. Two to one was offered that he would not. Presently the committee re- turned, but no Remelin. Mr. Gar. anes reported that Mr. Remelin express- ed his pulgaline to the couvention for inviting him back, but feared that he would be masasred if he should return. He believed the delegates meant what they said; bot thought that many of them could bot contro! their passions, even if they should | try.

He (Mr. Ehren have replied to him ff no other gentleman taken the fluor for that purpose. Dr. Boyp moved an adjournment, which motion met with several seornds. Here were loud cries of “ Speech from Pugh.” . E. Poca took the stand.. He did not think that | hie fritnd Joe Cooper would have hurt Mr. Remelin. | He (C.) was merely entering a protest against Mr. R.’sremarks. Mr. Remelia objected to endorsing the Baltimore platform, because it did not need is. | Why did we each Fourth of July read the Declara- | tion of Independerce? To refresh our memories. So it was with the Baltimore platform endorsement. And Remelis said that the resolutions were aimed et asec:¢t politicat party, and only half denounced that. If Mr. Remelin, or anybody else, could frame a stronger resvlution denanciatory of that so:letv, he (Mr. P.) would move for it a5 an amendment to | the resolution before the convention. He wanted it as strong as it could be made—he was for no half Way opoosition to the Know Nothings. Mc. Re- welin wanted something sald about the county commissioners; but this was no time to do it. The olject of the convention was to heal dissen- sions, not to make them—to declare principles, not to nominate candidstes. If the county commis- sioners, or other conaty officers, were extravagant in the use of the people’s money, mark them, and at the proper time turn them out.

As of old the Fay nations consecrated a great enterp: ise by the fice of living beings, eo this exploration of the watery sepulchre has been acoompanied by new deaths, and darker, final secret is shared by those who would have learned the lesser ones. But long and difficult labor has accomplished the task of the searchers, and their zeal has been rewarded. By the tay” Ae tga Mann, Vail & Oo, an: the gentlemen their office, we were yesteriay shown the results of the enterprise, as far as they have been revealed; and a melancholy story they tell. ‘The coin which hos been obtained from the wreck is partly American and partly, French.

By far the greater amount of treasure is probably contained in the unchapen masres of metal which have heen taken from the mud and ashes in the bottom of the hull.

The Weaith of Connecticut. [From the New Haven Journal, Aug. 19.] The grana list of the State of Connecticut for October 1, 1853, was not puolished uti after the adjournment of the Legislatare.. Thougi composed almost entirely of fiyures, it is an interesting docu: ment, for it stows the wealth of each town ia the Stete, and ovly requires a table of population to make it one of the most valuable of our State yubil- cations. The summary shows the tral assessed va- Jue of all property to be $194,141,867, and of polts $676,950, to which should be added about $30,009,000 of rairoud, bank and other stock not included in the grand list, bot taxed by the State at large, giviog a otal of $224,518,817 as the taxable property of Qon- Lecti ut, equal to $607 for each person fa the Btate.

Tue mi Is, stores, &c., in the State are valued at $12,- 915,281; the amount invested in menufacturing is $10,293,207; the money at interest amounts to $15,877,189; amount empipyed in merchandise is $6,654,025, and ‘in commerce and vessels, $3,238,- 182..

The laryast investnent in Oa aes and mechanical epera- tina is in Waterbury, which returns $2,020,225 thus used; New Haven stands next, haviug 2930,- 878, and Hartford next, having $670,473. New Hayen bas the largest amount of money ut intarest, $870,100; Hartford next,. aad Stamford next. Ola Saybrook bas the largest amount invested in commerce; Stonington next, Fuirficld next, New Haven next. New Heven has 3,524 dwellings, be- ing 1,377 more than Hartford, which is the next town in tize, and more than all of Tolland county. There are aiao 580 milis and stores in New Haven, which is 335 more, or more than twice ag magy, a8 in Hartford. It is with some pride that we compare our own county with the others in the State. In territo- tial extext itis comparatively mmsil, only three iy in; of less size, but in reapect to population aud wealth excels all others. Making a fair allowauce for four towns not returned, New Haven bas 11,900 deel ings, to 11,000 in Hartford, and 10,644 in Fairfiek); the Value of its dwellings was nearly $2,000,000 more thaa the next largest couaty; its mills apd stores are of the greatest value by $76,000; it leada the others greatly in the worth of C.rming utensils, time pieces, musical ents, bridge, turapike gud plank road stocks, railroad, city and other bonds, mouey on hand, and nas $1,489,737 isvested mm man- ufactai es, equal to nearly half of the whole invest- ment in the Bate, In the item “money employed in merchsndize,” Hartford county beats it by $KI9, 000, and bas aleo $216,000 moe at ivtcrest, as esmorebask and instrance, State ard canal stock, but in ‘ion to ita » New Haven is con: iderably the richest county in the State.

We have observed several specimons of corn, that shon'd by this time have been almost reody tor the mill ; but on the contrary, the grain was soft, pulpy apd scarcely sufticientiy advanced for beiling.
