gineer, Mr. Bliss the superintendent, and Messrs Hall,
Howard, Lowe, Derby, Lincoln, and Jackson, Direc-
tors OF the Great Western Railroad, after taking a

The Mary Rogers Murder. The New York Tauler
says,-it is currently reported that six persons are now
in custody, charged with being concerned in the hor-
riblc tragedy at Wehawken. The authorities have
taken infinite pains to conceal the fact; but our infor-
mant states tina, one of the Assistant Aldermen told
him the circumstances. He also told him tina, the
young man who wen, to Hoboken with Mary. on the
fatal Sunday, was the son off respectable timer in
Pearl street, and probably met a similar fate with the
unfortunate girl.
Sill Culture. We learn that Mr. Robert Sinclair
of Baltimore, has raised in his COCOON ~, tile past sea-
son, one hundred bushels of cocoons, which he has
disposed Of to advantage. A Mr. Allen Of Brockport,
N. Y, devoted eight acres of his farm to the silk cul-
,ure, and who was ~ Xssh satisfied with his success,
lha, he has since appropriated fourteen acres TO the
same purpose. Several Of his ~neighbors have each
raised, with small attention, from fifty to sixty bushels
of cocoons, and in all cases, at a less expense than the
bounty allowed by the state.
Corn Sugar. The subject OF cornstaik sugar which
we have before referred to as having been introduced
by Mr. Webb al the late agricultural meeting in this
city, appears TO be attracting considerable notice in
various sections Of the country. We understand that
Mr. Ellsworth, the Commissioner on Patents at Wash
ing'on. is much interested in the subject, and tina,
further experiments are about to be made by Mr. Webb.
