DISCOVERY OF FRENCH MARBLE.—TEe richness of
France in marble is of a coreperative recent discovery.
Very lately a new treasure of the kinj has turned' up, •
in the shape of what rosy almost be called a mountain
of marble, near Paris. Several varieties have
a'ready been quarried from it, !lamely, St: Anne,
rouge royale, petit antique, black granite, Grisperle, and
Breche. The property has recently o;ianged hands
fur a trifle more than its mere agricultural value. if the
report of geologists and engineers who have inspected it
are to he believed, the estate is likely to prove more
valuable to the new holder than a geld or silver mine.
The marble can be delivered at Paris for from 701. to
90f. the cubic metre, or little more than the price of
common stone ; and Belgium alone exports annually to
Paris from Fix to seven milli-ins of cubic metres.
The Times of Wednesday announces the fact that the
we 1-known American heu-e of Dodge, B and Co.,
had re.urned payments, their suspension having been
caused l.y liabilities in no way affecting thn trade pesi-
thin of the firm, which is said to be in a bigely prosper-
ous and healthy condition. Toe house of Dodge, Bacon,
and Co. has always been regarded as one commanding
consid,irable mercantile energy, and its rise to its present
position Is, perhaps, in no slight degree due to the un-
precedented advance in the pride of leather, which has
afforded them the opportunity of introducing throughout
Europe a singularly close and valuable imitation, known,
as " Crockett's Leather Cloth," and which is now ap-
plied to most purposes where formerly the skins of vari-
ous animals were used. This, and their India.rubber
banding, &c., fur machinery, to supersede leather, have,
from the advance in question, thrown upon the resources
of the firm an unusual amount of business. Such die-
coveries and inventions havint4 10ace,1 t.limnin the cate-
