Veto Message. "-Ihe Veio has been received
by the Wing press ofhe country in the same spir-
it, 1t is decidedly and unequivocaIly CONDEM-
NED, in its spirit tone, and general ieatures-bul
there is no denunciaon - no rash advice no DIS
position to make fuss The comments of the
lending journals are manly, judicous, and calcula-
ted to do good."- .Aier. Gdz.
The freedom the comments Of the Wing Press
upon the message, is all evidence of its general in
tegry aud Independence. There is not one we
dare say which did not, with very great reluctance,
except to the conduct of Wing Presdent-
Their party feelings inclined them TO look with Il
partial eye 10 him, whom circumstances had mnde
their chef; and il would, al oil times, be more a.
greeabe to praise than 10 censure. 1t might, 100,
be their interest 10 applaud or ut least to he silent.
Government sometimes has fat jobs 10 beslow, and
il is natural TO suppose it would prefer TO besiow
them upon those Who sing hosannahs TO il, and
praise It's every movement But the Wing Press,
with one solitary exception, have disregaried any
consideration OF this sort, and with manly indc-
pendence, avowed their disapprobaiion OF an act
they could not approve. In this, they have ex-
hibed themselves in marked contrast with the
papers of the other party during the late dynasty,
who all happened TO think precisely alike, and Just
as the Government thought; and in this, the Wing
Press have established fresh claims to the conf
dence OF peope-giving an earnest, as il does, that
they cannot be seduced from their allegiance TO
the Republican cause Richmond Whig.

New Steam Coach.

/ "A steam-coach, or, more properly speaking,
a steam-carrage, on an improved principle, and
carrying sixteen persons, belonging to the Gen.
eral Steam Co, was, on Saturday week, tried
on the road between Regents park and the
Manor House, at Tottenham. The carriage,
which is an experimental one, has four trans
verse seats, each of which accommodates four
persons; the boiler and apparatus is behind the
seats; the conductor, or he who has the man
agement of the carriage, sits on The front seat
and guides ii, and govern its speed bya sort of
handle, which rises from the fool-board.
The carriage left the York and Albany Tav-
ern a little after four o'clock; and proceeded
with full load of scientific gentlemen TO the
Manor house, Tonenham; here it was turned
round with perfect facility by The conductor,
and il returned to the York and Albany Tavern
The distance traversed is, between eight and
nine miles, ii was ral ersed in rather less than
half an hour. The road undertakes considera-
bly,, and there are some steep ascents; never
theless, the speed up hill was good, certainly
twelve miles an hour on level ground it was
fourteen; and on the descents sixteen to eighteen
miles. The carriage was turned round when
going at the rate Of ten miles an hour,
The conductor had a perfect command Of The
carriage, and caused it TO pass between car
riages drawn by horses, carts, &c, with which
some portion of the road was crowded, without
coming in contact with any one Of them, and
with facility Of management that was surpri-
sing. The appearance of the carriage and the
rapidity of its motion caused several horses TO
shy, but no accident ensued There is no yis-
ible escape of steam, nor is there any annoy
ance from smoke The trip was very satslac-
tory, and II appears certain that a carriage of
this sort can be used on ar:y roads. An extract
from a printed description, published by the
company will further explain IFS advantages
"The steam-coach is capable of ascending
The steepest hills or descending into the deep
est glens with ease and safety; it is Indifferent
to the inequality of surface, passes through the
most crowded and public streets with as much
facility as siagecoach; stopping more prompt
ly, setting down passengers al their own houses

consignees, acknow lodging a responsibility,

ment,) and consulting in the most entire man.

Michigan Salt.

Mr.. Lyon has for some time past been boring
for salt water in the Grand River valley, Wes-
tern Michigan. AT the depth Of 300 feet indi-
cations of salt began TO be apparent and the bor-
ing was continued with but poor prospect Of
success to the depth Of 66l feet, when the evi-
dences werc such that the boring was suspend
ed, and tubes stink to ascertain The quantity and
quality Of The brine The Grand Rapids En-
quirer states that on the 28h ult, the tubes
were put down 10 the depth of 500 feet, when
pure brine, Of the quality of one bushel of sail
TO from so to 60 gallons, ascerded and poured
out Of the tube with immense force. Ii is esii-
mated that the tubes might be carried fifty feet
higher, and the brine yet escape. From six 10
eight gallons are discharged per minute. This,
without the use OF pump, or any means Of eie-
yaiion, is deemed unparalleled in the history Of
sadness Mr.. Lyon will send The lnbes still
lower with the expectation Of obtaining still
stronger brine, and commence boiling inmed-
ately. The enterprise is most important as
well as successful. = Cleoeland paper

Otto of Roses.

The following is The recipe for making The
celebrated otto or ottar Of roses, from u work
recently published, entitled the Memoirs Of the
Rose.
"Take very large earthen or stone jar or
a large clean wooden cask, fill it with The leaves
OF the flower Of roses, very well picked, and
freed f:om all seeds and stalks pour on them
as much pure spring water will cover them,
and set the vessel in the sun, in the morning,
a; sunrise, and let il stand till the evening, then
take il into the house for the night Expose it
in this manner for six or seven successive days;
and, al the end of the third or fourth day, u
number Of PARTICLES, Of fine, yellow, oily mat
ter, will float OH the surface, which in two or
three days more, will gather into a scum, which
is the otlar of roses This is taken up by some
cotton, tied to the end of piece of stick, and
squeezed by the finger and thumb, into small
phial, which must be Immediately well stopped;
and this is repeated for some successive eve
nings, or while any of this fine essential rises
TO the surface of the water Ii is said that
hundred pounds weight Of roses will no. yiedl
above half an ounce of this precious rona."

Blister Fly.

This fly is usually known by the name Of the
potatoe fly. Ii is very destructive TO potatoes,
beeis, tomatoes, &c. Ii is about three -lourlhs
of an inch long, bladder shaped; some nearly
entirely black, while others have from one 10
three yellow slreaks on the back. They are
said 10 be superior to the Spanish fly for bis
'ers Children may very profitably be employ
ed in gathering them, as cantharides often sell

prepared by putting them in boiling water to
kill them, and then drying ihem. Mr.. r. Pin

contends that this planet is not an Inhabited

Sugar Trade.-The progress OF the Sugar
trade is astonishing. Hunts Magazine says
that in 936, there were 6,46l 900 pounds ship
ped from Ncw-Orleans, although the amount
shipped in 1880 was triAng. In 1910, it had
increased to more than forty-SeUen millions OF
pounds. Should the manufacture of Sugars in
crease for five years 10 come in the same rate
ii has heretofore done, we shall make Sugar
enough for our own domestic consumption. In
1889, nearly ten millions Of dollars were paid
TO foreigners for Sugar, an amount astonishing
when il is perceived tha, this exceeds the val
ue Of any one article exported from this coun.
try, excepting cotton.
