CORNEWALL LEWIS to witnesl so many proafe of admiration fur the services he rendered to his country, and such grateful recollection of his memory. Indeed it is not often that those pos sessed of more shining and striking abilities than the lato Secretary of Wcr receives such posthumous tributes to their merits. In this rather noticeable peculiarity we may recognise the personal influence that is so widely lilt and so generally disseminated among all ranks of English society, In this country there is hardly ever witnessed the spectacle of a man attaining to a widespread popularity if he be not possessed of excellence in private charac ter as well es of distinguished qualities of public value. In the repeated d emonstrations that have been made in honour of this departed Statesman we may rejoice to think that the estimable nature of his domestic and private existence was held in as much repute as the more apparent abilities that rendered him an efficient servant of the Crown, and a useful worker in his country's service as a statesman, a senator, and a minister. At New Radnor last Wednesday an impressive ceremony took place. A short time after the death of Sir G. C. LEWIS it was resolved to erect some monu ment to his memory in the place with which his name was so intimately associated and where he had passed away. In life as in death he was thus connected with the spot, and thus a more appro• priate place could not have been selected thus to afford a solemn proof and a striking example that when the good man rests from his labours his works remain to speak h:s character to those surviving him, a living witness of his enduring integrity, and a deathless instance of the immortal part of our earthly nature. It is very instructive and interest ing for the readers of the news of the day to turn aside occasionally from the beaten track and dwell on impressive ceremonies like this. It is at the same time a warning and an encouragement to the compeers and competitors of the departed in the political arena that they should fix their thoughts on the destiny and rewards of public life, and not on the transient, if splendid, circumstances of power, so that when the night comes when no man can work—be he prince or peer, orator or statesman — the sweet remembrance of the just may flourish in decay as a sure and certain hope that some record is left of the works of the departed, laid up where the corruption and despoiling of earth have no place. The ceremony was conducted in a very impressive manner throughout, and the addresses delivered on the occasion are well worthy of perusal. The Earl of CLARENDON made some remarks which were very suitable for the occasion, and proved that he fully entered into the spirit of the affair. He said that such a movement was particularly appropriate to the memory of one who never, either in public or in private life, made an enemy, for it was raised by the subscriptions of those in all ranks and of every shade of political opinion. Truly did the noble earl also add that he considered such a tribute was of incalculable importance, not only "as a record of the feelings of those who had the best opportunities of knowing Sir G. LEWIS'S worth, but also as an encouragement to others, far and near, to follow in his footsteps, and to imitate his bright example." There are few more gracious duties that fall to the lot of men eminent in public life than thus to come forward and do honour to the memory of their departed colleagues. It is an affecting sight for those who address such an assem• bly and those who hear them. No sound of the jsring elements of that sphere to which the departed once belonged ever intrude on such a solemn cere mony ; but for the hubbub of political strife, we find the hush that seems to speak of the stillness of that state into which ha has passed, lately so full of life and spirit, who has impressed his character in his day, and left a name dear and honoured to the generation that deplore him. Mr VERNON HAR COURT excited the interest of those around him, by dwelling on the touching nature of his visit to that place where he stood, " Every spot about the little town speaks to me of the touch of a vanished hand, and the sound of a voice that is still." lie also en ❑umerated the proofs that had that day been afforded of the intrinsic worth and high value of the achieve• ments of the departed, and statesmen of European fame, and political adversary, and a distinguished scholar, had all concurred in bearing testimony to his pa ivate worth and public excellence. The Bishop of ST. DAVID'S delivered an admirable address, in which he paid a just tribute to the excellence of Sir G. LEWIs'S attainments as a classic scholar of great repute, and added that he entertained a very high opinion of the advantages of such polite learning at this time when people are prone to be so captious as to the good of spending time in the acquisition of languages, which were not re quisite for the purposes of daily life and the trans action of business. The Bishop effectively showed that this was an error, and indeed it may be consi dered that the late lamented baronet would never have attained to such proficiency in his labours had his mind not been stored with elegant literature, and his judgment strengthened by stern studies of a refining nature. His lordship concluded in most emphatic language, by declaring that the monu ment before them might remind others that if they followed the path trodden by him in whose honour it was erected, " although they might not, like him, win for themselves a name in history, they would at all events secure for themselves that which belongs to virtue." Sir J. WALSH in his remarks exhibited a thorough appreciation of the subject before him, and thus fittingly inaugurated an affair of such im port and interest. He showed how they were mis.. taken who believed that Sir G. C. LEWIS could not perform the duties of a Statesman because he was so learned and had devoted time to pursuits of an erudite character. The hon. baronet touchingly al luded to the great loss they had sustained, and also expressed his disappointment mingled with regret, because those who knew him best were of opinion that still greater achievements were in store for him. There is a never failing source of consolation to all who admired the departed, however, in the conviction that ho lived long enough to win for himself universal regard ; and when a career has found favour with God and man it cannot be said that it is too short, for a bright and cheering pro mise sheds a halo over its memory that is not dimmed by the shadows of the Valley of Death, for it represents the principle of the best part of exist ence, begun here and perfected hereafter. Although the speeches of county members at agricultural assemblies have now lost much of their novelty, and the public is rather looking forward to the debates of St. Stephen's than noting the utterances of the present moment, unless they re flect the opinions of the leaders of parties, Lord INCIESTILE'S remarks the other evening are not un worthy of attention. Setting aside his observations on the favourite question of the farmers—the repeal of the malt tax, and on the connection between Church and State—he touched upon two topics, both of vital importance, The first of these was the conduct to be pursued by this country in re ference to the American War, the second was Parliamentary Reform. With regard to the great Transatlantic question, Lord INGESTRE confessed his sympathies, in common with most Englishmen, to be heartily in favour of the South, although he declined to pledge himself to the policy of recogni tion. Few politicians have yet found courage to but, if we mistake not, the voice of th e country that, will before long insist upon its represen tatives acting with boldness in this matter. It has been l e ft long enough in the hands of a weak and who have proved unable or i ncom p e t e nt Ministry, s unwilling to attempt aolution of the problem. Either from reluctance to assume the direct respon sibility, or from a decided bias in favour of one party to the struggle, they have suffered the moat disastrous war of modern times to be waged for years, at a cost to human life, and happiness, and national prosperity rarely equalled, without so much as an effort to arrest it. They have kept on avowing that they have had no share in it—that they must leave the Americans to . settle their own affairs. But they seem to have everrooke i the fact that they might have recognised the South as a belli• gerent Power without prejudice to the indepen. deuce and self-governing faculty of the Ameri cans. They might settle their own affairs peace ably instead of by the sword, but the -mere fact of recognition could not alter the matter if the North were really able to subdue the South. Could the Federals triumph by force of arms over their ad versaries very certainly the simple recognition of the European Powers—for no one suggests armed intervention—would not prevent them from doing so. Those who insist so strenuously upon the duty of nonrecognition forget that by so doing they afford convincing testimony of the weakness of the Federal cause. If the mere scratch of a diploma• tist's pen can virtually settle the question, what is the boasted Northern superiority worth ? Federals make no secret of their conviction that if conquered by force of arms the S )uth must be held by the sword, and some of their leaders have spoken openly of annihilation and expatriation as the ne cessary penalties of the refractory States. Yet though the Southern President and other men of eminence openly declare that English recognition would go far to arrest the war, our Ministers still refuse to act, still plume themselves on the so-ealled neutrality, and decry any share in the responsibi lity of the war. In reality they are answerable for the thousands of brave men maimed and slain, for desolated fields and ruined homesteads, and for the ghastly catalogue of miseries that war brings in its train. Of course, the responsibility lies first at the door of the Americans themselves, but the English Government must have their share. The hopelessness of the struggle has long been appa rent ; and Lora INGESTRE observed that, having travelled through the States just before the war broke out, he was then convinced that if the rup ture once topic place, reunion was impossible. "The North and South fell out, nominally on the subject of slavery, but really to see which should have the upper hand on that great continent of America." He further expressed his conviction that, when the matter came on in the House of Commons, as it certainly would this session, the honest English feeling of the House would come out, and an effort would be made to stop a war which was unparalleled in its horrors, and a dike. grace to humanity. As Lord INGESTRE justly said, it reflects upon us as a nation, that no effort on our part should be made to arrest the carnage, for, in spite of Earl RUSSELL'S disclaimers, the duty is especially binding upon us, who are so closely connected by race, by language, and by sympathy with the people of that vast continent. Toe conviction is gradually growing and deepen. ing among all classes of the necessity of some definite action. We have amply proved that we are actuated by no no selfish motive ; but surely the sufferings of our own people should add to our anxiety to stem the tide of war. Despite his own reluctance and the influence of the Manchester school, Lord RUSSELL may find himself compelled by irresistible force, by tho unanimous expression of the common sense, right feeling, and humanity of the public, to take a more active part in the great American struggle, than submitting to the dictation of Mr. ADAMS' spies, and of tacitly al lowing men and arms to be shipped off to the Federal ports. The Reform question, Lord IN. GESTRE said, was likely to occupy a promiuent place in the next session, and he had been told that " an out-and-out Reform Bill" would be pro posed by the Government. None of their antece. dents gave us reason to hope for any such thing. Lord INGESTRE admitted their right to have fair play, and said he would not treat any measure of the kind as Lord DERBY'S Reform Bill was treated by the professing Liberals, but we very much doubt whether his resolutions will be put to the test. Reform may serve as a cry on the hustings, but Lord PALMERSTON'S Government are not the men to in troduce any substantial and comprehensive measure. Lord INGESTRE admitted there was a general desire for reform throughout the country, and observed that the conduct of the Lancashire workmen en titled their class to great consideration. He was anxious, as far as possible, to make education a test of the suffrage, and was unwilling to admit igno• rant, illiterate men to the same advantages as the industrious and intelligent artisan. No doubt the possession of political power by such men is no real advantage to them, since they only fall under the influence of demagogues and mob orators ; men who know how to inflame their passions, and who chiefly busy themselves in stirring up and fostering class animosities. But this is no reason why the large body of English working men, who are able to judge and think for themselves, and whose inte rest in the maintenance and stability of law and order is as great as that of those above them, should be excluded from all voice in the direction of public affairs. A sincere and disinterested Government may possibly find its way to the solution of the problem. Lord PALMERSTON'S Cabinet is not very likely to give us the answer. rHE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 3, 1864. BANK OF FRANCE. PARIS, December 1.

Count Mensdorff-Pouilly said that the principal policy of Austria was to avoid a great and appa rently inevitable war. It was her task to direct her e fforts towards the solution of the German question in thorough earnestness, and in a manner which should be both compatible with her rights, and also if possible with the preservation of her connection with Russia, so necessary to the interests of Germany and peace. The programme of the ca binet was tranquillity and conciliation, but firmness. No one could demand that Austria should adopt the initiative in bringing about a better under standing with Italy, by whom the mere existence of Austria was regarded as an aggression. Austria was willing to preserve peace, but, at the same time, was determined to resist her enemies, and she reckoned on the entire support both of the house and of the population. The Minister of VV4r stated that Austria would willingly disarm, but the step must be initiated by other powers. Dr Bruuz asked what course the Government intended to pursue in the settlement of the sucees• sion question in the Duchies. Herr Kuranda declared himself opposed to the Prussian alliance. Dr Muhlfeld said that he considered it to be the mission of Austria to strengthen the German Diet, whereas, on the contrary, that body had been weakened by her. Count .Mensdorff said that the present position of the negotiations did not admit of more precise informatio❑ being given. Austria had not taken part in the Danish war from mere love of military glory. The paragraph of the address relating to foreign policy was the❑ adopted as originally drawn up.

Within two days over 500 ou nces of gold in nuggets were secured by two miners. The Provincial Chamber of Deputies has passed the vari ous projects for the purpose of redeeming the paper money, but as the Chamber of Deputies refused to allow the Bank or the Government to make a loan abroad, it is thought by many that the scheme will prove abortive. The works of the Southern Railway are progressing, the Northern Railway is to be extended to the Tigre, the Boca Railway is also progressing, and one of the most important schemes in Buenos Ayres. All the markets of the interior are improving, business has become brisk ; the town of Rosario is making giant strides, owing to the stir caused by the building of the Argentine Central Railway. Clipping has commenced in all quarters, and efforts are being made to have the wool in the market early. Business is dull on change to-day; some parties selling heavily for cash made specie weak.

A correspondent in the limes writes : " Perhaps the two following letters, evincing as they do the deep conviction of one of the most able of the Southern leaders, may be deemed worthy of insertion in your widely spread paper. As many friends have expressed the wish of having copies of them, it has occurred to me that their publication may form a striking and not unfavourable contrast with what emanates from Northern sources. It must have been a deep-seated feeling of wrongs endured that drove such men as the writers of these letters into taking such a step as throwing up their commissions. Most of your readers have no doubt forgotten the hitherto unexplained conduct of Mr Seward at the eventful period of American history which these letters refer to. War had not yet broken out. Fort Sumter was still held by a Northern garrison. Fresh provisions were daily supplied to it by the authori ties of Charleston. Southern Commissioners were in Washington. Mr Seward, though not receiving them officially, held communication with them through Judge Campbell, one of the Judges of the Supreme Court. Mr Seward had promised that no attempt should be made to relieve Fort Sumter while negotiations were going on. What was the surprise and consternation of Judge Campbell when he beard that the attempt had been made, that he had been deceived, and that all hopes of a peaceable settlement were at an end ? To Mr Seward's con duct in this instance must be mainly attributed the attack on Fort Sumter which immediately followed and let loose the fierce passions of two excited peoples. The cause of eight millions of men, of purely English descent, struggling nobly for their independence, is based upon foundations too strong to be shaken by Mr Cobden's unhistorical corn• parisons, or Mr Bright's fil-timed and injudicious letter, in which the " man of peace," purporting to represent England's feeling, excites on to deeds of blood a people already too thirsty for war and cor quest. Arlington, Virginia, April 20, 1861. General,—Since my interview withjyou on the 18th inst. I have felt that I ought not longer to retain my commission in the army. I therefore tender my resignation, which I request you will recommend for acceptance. It would have been presented at once but for the struggle it has cost me to separate myself from a service to which I have devoted all the best years of my life and all the ability I possessed, During the whole of that time, more than a quarter of a century, I have experienced nothing but_kindness from my superiors and the most cordial friendship from my comrades. To no one, General, have I been so much indebted as to yourself for uniform kindness and consideration. and it has always been my ardent desire to merit your approbation. I shall carry to the grave the most grateful recollections of your kind consideration, and your name and fame will always be dear to me. Save in defence of my native State I never desire again to draw my sword. Be pleased to accept my most earnest wishes for the continuance of your happiness and pros perity, and believe me most truly yours, R. E. LEE, Lieut.-Gen, Winfield Scott, commanding United States Army. A copy of the preceding letter was enclosed in the following letter to a sister of the General, Mrs A. M. : Arlington, Virginia, April 20, 1861. "My dear Sister,—l am grieved at my inability to see you. . . , . I have been waiting " for a more convenient season," which has brought to many before me deep and lasting regret. Now we are in a state of war which will yield to nothing. The whole South is in a state of revolu tion, into which Virginia, after a long struggle, has been drawn, and though I recognise no necessity for this state of things, and would have forborne and pleaded to the end for redress of grievances, real or supposed, yet in my own person I had to meet the question whether I should take part against my native State. With all my devotion to the Union, and the feeling of loyalty and duty of an American citizen, I have not been able to make up my mind to raise my hand against my relatives, my children, my home. I have therefore resigned my commission in the army, and, save in defence of my native State, with the sincere hope that my poor services may never be needed, I hope I may never be called on to draw my sword. I know you will blame me, but you must think as kindly of me as you can, and believe that I have endeavoured to do what I thought right. To show you the feeling end struggle it has cost me, I send a copy of my letter to General Scott, which accompanied my letter of resignation. I have no time for more May God guard and protect you and yours, and shower upon you every blessing, is the prayer of your devoted brother, R. E. Lzu. WHAT SHE HAS DONE.

Sir Edward and Lady Head and Mrs Lane Fox are among the visitors to Mr Baring, M.l), at Norman Court, near Stockbridge,, The Waterloo-bridge Mystery, Seven years have elapsed since a startling announcement was made that a horrible murder had been committed in London, and that an attempt had been made to conceal it under circumstances of an unusual character. It was said that some boys who were out in a boat on the Thames had found on one of the abutments on the western side of Water loo-bridge a bag which contained the bones of a human body, with a suit of clothes, which, when examined, led to the conclusion that a man, moving in a respectable sphere of life, had been barbarously murdered, his body roughly hewn to pieces by unprofessional hands, and the bag con taining the bones let down over the parapet of the bridge with the intention that they should sink in the river and be no more heard of. The bag, instead of going into the water, rested upon the abutment, and was so found by the boys, who handed it over to the police. Various rumours were in circulation at the time in reference to the persons who had been seen on the bridge, and who were suspected of having dropped the bag, but nothing conclusive was ascertained, and the matter at length subsided, although the most diligent inquiries had been made by the police. Last August the subject was revived by a letter which was published in some of the papers from Mr, Irwin, of Dublin, who gave the initial letters of the names of four persons who, as he imagined, were im plicated in this matter, three of them being suspected of making away with the fourth, who had mysteriously disap peared under circumstances which he very fully and some what plausibly detailed. Application was made to the authorities at Scotland-yard that the bag in which the bones had been deposited and the clothing might be sent to Vic. toria (Aussralia), in order that the wife of the missing man might see them, with a view if possible to their identifica tion as the property of her husband. That request, how" ever, could not be complied with in the face of stringent police regulations. It was also considered that the descrip tion would be sufficient to serve first purposes, and that, if the articles were identified, the detective officers might be instructed to bring over any persons whose evidence they might suppose would tend to further more detailed inquiries. To make the matter perfectly clear, it may be mentioned that Mr Irwin, in his letter, expressed his conviction that the supposed victim was - a man named R--, who had gone out from England to Australia some time prior to the occurrence, and had amassed a large sum of money. He left his wife and child in Australia, and came back to Eng land, bringing with him securities of the value of £1,400, for which he received the money. At that time he was living in the house of one W— —, in a street leading out of the Strand, not far from Waterloo bridge. R-- remained there a short time, and all at once he disappeared, and this was about the date of the finding of the bag of bones and clothes. Mr Irwin's letter also re ferred to parties with the initials S. and N. as having had something to do with the monetary transactions of R--. The circumstantial character of Mr Irwin's allegations ne • cessitited in the minds of the authorities at Scotland-yard further and minute inquiries in the direction pointed out, and the matter was entrusted for investigation to one of the most experienced officers of the detective force. The officer ascertained in the first place that just antecedent to the time of the discovery a man named Woolfe lived at 15, Arundel street, Strand, which was then a private hotel, and about that time a person of the name of Ratcliffa came there to see him. Ratcliffe remained at the hotel as a resident for a few days, and while there Woolfe took the house No. 10 in the same street. During this period of their acquaintance ship Ratcliffe told Woolfe that he had some Tasmanian de benture bonds, upon which he was to receive the interest in the City, and that he wished to turn the bonds into money. It appears that Woolfe himself did not want to buy them, but he introduced Ratcliffe to a man of the name of Sinnett, who was understood to be a dealer in securities and bills, but he did not require them ; and he in his turn introduced Ratcliffe to one Nathan, who purchased the bonds, paying the amount in Bank of England notes to to Ratcliffe, who almost immediately afterwards departed, no one knowing what had become of him. Three months later, however, as the detective officer has since ascertained, Ratcliffe opened an account with the Commercial Banking Company, at Liverpool, and deposited a considerable sum of money, doubtless the produce of the sale of the bonds, and after a short interval he withdrew his balance, for the purpose, as ho stated, of going to America. From that day to the present nothing further is known of him. The iden tity of the man Ratcliffe, who lived with Woolfe in Arundel street, and who was imagined by Mr Irwin to be the victim of the Waterloo-bridge tragedy, with the man Ratcliffe, who, three months afterwards, was at Liverpool, was proved by a comparison of the signature of the Tasmanian bonds with chat on the books of the Commercial Banking Com• pany. It is hal also been ascertained that Woolfe, having lett England for Australia, died in that colony about three years since. The result of this investigation entirely puts an end to the grave suspicions which Mr Irwin's letter not unnaturally raised, and leaves still undiscovered the perpe trator of a crime which at the time created a profound sensation on the public mind. The Catastrophe in Glasgow Harbour, GLASGOW, Thursday. From the additional particulars which have to come to light respecting this mournful affair, it would appear that at the time when the accident occurred there must have been at least 26 persons in the ferry -boat. When it is con sidei ed, however, that she was licensed to carry 24 passen gers besides the ferryman, it cannot be said that she was overloaded to any considerable extent. There was a pretty stiff breez3 blowing last night. Many people, however, entertain considerable doubt whether the waves thus raised could have been of such a character as to dash over the boat. One thing appears certain, that, whether owing to the force of the wind or to the surge of a steamer which had just passed, the boat on nearing the middle of the stream encountered two heavy waves in succession. Un fortunately, as seems to be too often the case in these boats, the ferryman had intrusted his oar t 3 a passenger ; and it is alleged that the boat, instead of being headed to the waves, was allowed to roll into the trough. Under these circumstances, it is perfectly intelligible how, with the boat well down in the water, the first heavy wave should have dashed over her gunwale, and how in the commotion which ensued the second should have completed her submersion. The affair has been reported to the Procurator Fiscal, by whom an inquiry will be instituted. An investigation will also be conducted by the Clyde Trustees. The search for the bodies of the drowned was commenced about 8 o'clock this morning, and by 5 o'clock 17 had been recovered. Sixteen of these were identified in the course of the day. With regard to the 17th—that of a young lad— it was the opinion of the medical gentlemen who inspected the remrins that they had been in the water at least 48 hours. If this be so, the deceased cou d not have been in the ill-fated ferry-boat, The following is a list of the bodies recovered : John Gray, joiner, 2, Kinning-street, 25 years of age, un married ; in the employment of Messrs J. and G. Thom son. Adw. Hillgrain, engineer, with Mr Barr, 98, West street, 19 years of age, unmarried, John Miller, engineer, 82, Crookston -street, 20 years of age, unmarried, John Russell, engineer, 15, Crookston.street, about 26 years of age, unmarried ; deceased was a native of Barrhead, whore his mother resides. John Stewart, engineer, 76, Clareuce street, 19 years of age, unmarried. Edward Kerr, painter, 6, Gloucester -street, 21 years of age, unmarried. Robert Lang, rigger, Crookston -street, about 35 yeaas of age, married; left a widow and two children—boy and girl. Peter Cruickshanks, blacksmith, 30, Scotland-street, 20 years of age, unmarried ; deceased was a native of Leith. Jonn Rodger, ferryman, 23 years of age— married; one child, and widow near her confinement. John Kinloch, boy, 16 years of age, 31, Morrison-street. John Allison, joiner, 5, Bolton-street, unmarried, 24 years of age, James Curie, labourer, 79, West-street, 63 years of age, employed with Messrs Barclay and Curio ; deceased, who was a native of Rothesay, has left a family of five, all grown up, William Henderson, clerk, Pollok street, 21 years of age, unmarried. Duncan M'Callum, engineer, 98, West-street, Tradeston, in the employment of Mr Barr, Clyde-street; deceased, who was a fine-looking man, 25 years of age, was only married about seven weeks ago. The scene in the shed when his relatives identified the body was of tha most heartrending description. Robt. Brown, nautical instrument maker, 24, Kinning.street, about 16 years of age, resided with his parents; deceased was the survivor of a family of eight, Robert Park, joiner, 78, Brown-street, about 20 years of ago, unmarried ; parents reside at Blantyre; deceased was employed with Mr John Blair, 60, Paterson-street. The body of a lad, apparently about 17 years of age, dressed in a canvas jacket and dark trousers fastened with a belt round his waist, In addition to the above there is the man John Kane, who died after having been got out of the water last night. There are also two persons still missing —Mr Allan Glen, grain merchant, and Mr J. H. Henderson, grain weigher, who are believed to be drowned. It thus appears that, keeping out of account the doubtful case of the body not yet identified, 19 persons have lost their lives by the disaster. THE RECENT INTENDED FIGHT BETWEEN MACE AND COBIJRN.—This affair will probably give some employment to the gentlemen iu Westminster Hall, as Join Mace has, through his attorney, Mr C. T. Longley, of Moorgate-street, served the editor of Bell's Li/c in London with a notice of legal proceedings, to recover the sum of £5OO, alleged to have been staked by Mace. The money, it will prebAbly be remembered, was returned by the stake holder to each party, and the .C5OO delosited on the part of Mace was handed to Harry 13runton to be returned, as was agreed when it was supplied to those who so supplied it, in the event of the fight not coming off. TIIE RIVER AMAZON.—The Amazon, the Ucayali ; and the Pachitea are navigable for a great distance. So stupendous is the mass of water which the monarch of rivers bears to the Atlantic Ocean that it exceeds that of eight great rivers of Asia put together—namely, the Euphrates, Indus, Ganges, Oby, Lena, Aciur, Yellow River, and the Yang tse in China. So deep is it, at least in its upper part, that no bottom has been found at a depth of 721 feet. Its de clivity is so imperceptible and slow that were not its volume of water so powerful, it would with difficulty flow. The affluents of the Amazon form among themselves tens of thousands of leagues of navigable rivers, an immense net covering more than two-thirds of South Amer iea. —Tana in a Star.
