It is safe to say ateast twenty thousand acres are devoted to gape culture in the above counties alone, ad it is a remarkable fact that a large propoion of the land used for vineyards lies upoisteep hillsides, with soil of poor quality a unfit for ordinary agri- cultural purposes.

The Congress was sent up to Disco by the Secretary of the Navy with an ample store of supplies of all descriptions for the subsist- ence of Captain Hall and his ship's crew dur- ing the coming winter, and for their grand expedition in the spring in search of the North Pole. We are encouraged in the belief, too, from‘our correspondent’s report of the plea- sant summer at the seventieth degree of north fJatitude in Greenland, that, starting north- ward from that point up Baffin’s Bay, even so late as the middle of next June, Captain Hall will probably be able to push his steamer tbhrouzh to the Pole and get back to his base of operations before the return of the freezing season. The Captain and his men, at all events, at Disco, were in the best of spirits, aad in setting sail thence were confident of success, and hope to get thorough even during dhe present season. Meantime our correspondent fascinates us with his cheering descripiion of the summer glories of Greenland. So late as the 10th of ihe present month he says that at Disco the feason is very open, not unlike May in New York; that the sun sinks below the horizon but for a short time, and that the twilight is Bufficient to read by all night. We conclude from this that from the 18th to the 25th of June, if not for a longer term, the sun at Disco does not set at all, but makes a com- plete circuit round the horizon in fall view, with fair skies all the time, from day to day. | We are further told that the August displays of the northern lights at Disco, even in the still lingering daylight of tie short night up there, are extremely grand, the aurora assum- Jog the forms of magnificent arches, scrolls and spiral stairways. What must these exhibitions he, then, in the long nights of the winter season Jn those vividly flaming Arctic skies!

Through politcal influence the case was not called at the March or May term. At the June term the District Attorney obtained a new inditment, upon which Holley was arraigued on Morday and pieaded nov guilty. ‘The government examined about ten witnesses, ani offered as testimony a certified transcript from the Treasury records to show the amount of money allied to have been embezzied had not been received frm the Collector at the Treasury Department. The dence was that the money alleged to ve embezzled Was not public money, and that the money, which yas fees, did not heiong to the government and that Say Shale did not require a return to be made ees, The cashter in the Custom House under Holley tstified that ne had charge of all moneys received ad disburset, and that Collector Holley never re- eived any money but his salary, which was paid in freasury warrants. s Atfour o’clock the case was given tothe jury, Aiter being out nearly halt an hour they returned with a verdict of guilty, Sentence was postponed.

Directions Relative to Investigating the Occan Wave Disaster. WASHINGTON, August 29, 1871. In these despatches on Thursday last was sent the following:—“Supervising Inspector General Belknap to-day recommended to the Secretary of the Treasury that nereafter inspectors of steam- boats should not allow more than one-half of the working pressure in all boilers that have been In use on board steamboats for the period of seven years and upwards, and thatafter service ef eighé years the bor should be condemned.” The letter was submitted to Secretary Boutwell the same afternoon, but the return of Assistant Secretary Hartley gave him the privilege of vacating his seat and leaving for Boston that night without considering the Supervising Inspector General's suggestions, ‘Thp above was extensively copied from the HERALD, in which it appeared. and pa- pers contaluing the paragraph were mated and sent to the Secretary of the Treasury, The great calamity in New York, followed by the exploston of the Chautaugua lake steamer in Western New York, and within afew days the Ocean Wave, af Mobile, has, as might be expected, caused an unusual sur among the Treasury ofMicials who are specially charged with the eiiciency of the steamboat service, Joseph Belknap, the Supervising Inspector General of Steamboats, is vow on duty in Washington, having been detatied to asstat In the exammation of Second Assistant Engiucers of the Revenue Marine Service, and, referring to the above despatch, your corres- pondent called upon General Belknap this evening aud was informed that he had this day sent to Secre. tary Boutwell a request that that recommendation should be 1mmediately approved, busing his reasons on the following quotation from section eleven of the act of Congress, approved February 28, 1571, enutled “An act to provide for the better security of life on board of vesseis propelied tn whole or tn part by steam and for other purposes: — Second—They shall also Inspect the boilers of all steamers before the same shalt be used, and once at least in every year thereafter, subjecting them to the hydrostatic pressure prescribed vy this » and sauisfy themselves by thorough examination that the lors are well made, of good and sitiable ma- erlal; that the openings for the passage of water and steam respectively and all pipes and tuves ex. posed to heatare of proper dimensions and free from ou suMctent aud the fue: flre line of the furnace below the prescribed m ers, aud that the arrangement for the feed-water 1s such that the boiler injured thereby, and that such voller: nn; thal the spaces between and around the are circular i form at least two inches line of mun water cation without pert! to tle, an themselves that the safety v dimensions, sulle one of which ma, the inspectors to secure the controt of all persons engaged tn nav vessels and secored by the inspecto weights of the safety vaives are proper! 80 a8 To allow no greater p the amonnt prescribed by the inspection certtiicate; that there are a suMcent nuutber of gauge cocks properly inserted to indicate the p of steam, sollable steam registers that will correctly record each excess of steam carried above the pr seribed Hmit, and the highest polut attain which shai! be taken “ wholly from ui contro) of ali persons engaged In navigating such Vessel and secure by the inspectors, and relapie law, WaLer @anves, ald LRA 1Side mane s ane DE.

Apd in all cases the test applied shail exceed the working power allowed in the ratio of 165 to 110, aud tu subjecting to the test aforesaid that class of boilers usually designated and known as low pressure boilers, the said inspectors shail aliow as @ working power of each new builer a pressure of ly three-fourths the number of pounds to the uare inch to which it shall have been subjected by the hydrostatic test and found to ve suf> ficient therefor; but should sach inspectors be of the opinion that satd lier, by reason of its con- strnction or material, will not safely allow so high a working§ pressure, they may for reasons to be stated specially in their certificate x the workin, pressure of said bolier at less than three-fourths o} sald test pressure, but all boilers used on st essels and constructed of tron or steel piat specied under the provisions of section thirty-six of this act shall be subjected to a hydrostatic test in the ratio of one hundred pounds tothe square inch of the working steam power allowed, and no botler or pipe, or any of the connections therewith, shall be approved which 1s made in whole or in part of bad material or 1s ansate in its form or dangerous from defective workmansmp, :age, use or other cause. General Belknap states that under this law the inspector is clothed with discretionary power, If he bas the right to limit the pressure to three-fourths he can for the same reason limit it to one-half the pressure allowed, and from a generalization of facts it has been ascertained that no bollers can possibly stand expansion and contraction for more than seven years and be regarded as perfectly safe. To Teduce the pressure to one-lali 18 equivalent to condemning the boiler without walting for the ex- piration of eight years. As has already been stated, Secretary Boutwell's attention has been particularly called to the unpor- tance of approving this recommendation, The Su- pervising laspector General cannot act without the authority of the head of the Treasury Department, and unless he sanctions the propositions of this om- cer there can be no reformation 1m the steamboat service. General Beiknap says that he was ap- pointed to the office without any solicitation on tls part, but pow that the urgency of a head to the Supervising [uspector is made more manifest he is determined taat be will do ali in his power to bring about the desired reform. It remains, then, for the Secretary of the Treasury to promptly approve of his recommendations. As an instance of the desire of the Treasury Department to institute reformatory measures, Acting Secretary Harvey to-day issucd the following circular to collectors of customs and Inspectors of steam vesseis:— TREASURY DEPARTMENT, Angust 29, 1871. It having been represented to Gite department that a custom prevails among some inspectors of steam Vesseis of causing their names to ve amxed lo orginal certidcates of inspection by other pe sons than themselves, the department hereby con- demns this practice as being a violation of aw, and directs that it be forthwith discontinued, A recur- rence of tus Irregular proceeding by an inspector will be considered # misdemeanor and render him lavie to tramediate removal from this oilce.
