In Ireland, Mr. VIM. Smith O'l}rien has been
found guilty of treason-and sentence of death, with
all the horrd ceremonies which accompany such ex-
ecutons, has been passed upon him. He had been
unanimously recommended TO mercy by the Jury,
but il was thought, from crcumsta which follow
ed, that no mitigation of the sentence would be OBJ
tanned.
The news by the Europa 1--WE use the words of the
New York Tribune,) is politically very impor mt,
as the condition of Austrian and Italian AIRS may
bring a general European war. Commercially
there is nothing favorable in the advices than
came by the last steamer. Consols under the news
from the Continent had fallen off to $751;. Money
continued plenty at easy rates, and still more case
was expected. Trade in the manufacturing districts
and in produce dull. Breadstufs were in fair
demand, excepting Flour, which was dull and lower.
Indian Corn selling at about the quotations by
the last steamer Cotton, our great staple, was dull,
and some descriptions trifle cheaper. The wealth
er had been generally favorable for the crops, but it
was admitted that they were below an average.
The importation of coin at London for the week had

OLIVER EyANs-JOHN FITCH.

Olirer Exams, in 1856, urged upon Committee of
the Legislature of Pennsylvania, the advantages to
be derived from steam boats and "stcam- wagons"
and predicted their universal adoption in short
time. The opinion which the Committee formed OF
him was expressed few years afterwards, by one
of its members, in the following words: $40 tell
you the truth. Mr.. Evans, we thought you were de-
ranged when you spoke Of making steam wagons. "
The other relates TO John Fitch clock and watch
maker, than whom more ingenious, pcrsevering and
unfortunate man lived. In spite OF difficulties
that few could Withstand he succeeded in raising the
means to construct a steam boat, which he ran sevc-
raj times from Philadelphia to Burlington and Iren-
ton in 1888. As first attempt, and from the want
of proper manufactures of machinery at the time, II
was of necessity imperfect: then public opinion was
unfavorable and the shareholders finally abandoned
the scheme. His feelings may be imagined, but not
described for he saw and predicted the glory that
awaited the man who should succeed in introducing
such vessels in more favorable times. "The day
will Gomez he observes, "when some more power
full man will get fame and riches by my invention,
but nobody will believe that poor John Fitch can do
ANYTHING worthy Of attention." He declared that
within a century the western rivers would swarm
with steam vessels, and he expressed wish 10 DC
buried on the margin of the Ohio, that the music oil
marine engines in passing by his grave might echo
over the sods that covered him. In a letter TO Mr..
Ritenhouse, in 1892, he shows the applicability oil
steam to propel ships Of and asserts that the
same agent would be adopted to navigate the Attain
tic both for packets and armed vessels. DescantnS
ON one occasion upon his avorite topic, person pre-
sent observed as Fitch retired, "poor fellow! what
pty he is crazy' He ended his life in fit Of in
sanity by plungng into the Allegheny -Etc6ank' S
Hgdrculics.

BAKEwELL's COPYING TELEGRAPH.

Mr. BakcwelI's copying Telegraph has been tried
in England by the Telegraph Company between the
Company's branch station in London and Slough,
that being the only station at which the wires could
be spared for experimental purposes. The results
which is requisite to work the needle telegraph, is
amply sufficient for the copying process. Messages
written at London were received at Slough, copied
on paper, and in the form of the original writing,
the character of which might be readily recognized
Speed of transmission not attempted with the
small model instruments employed; but the mes
sages were nevertheless, transmitted with single
wire, with double the rapidity of the needle tele-
graph We understand that Mr.. Blackwell expects
to be able with instruments constructed the work
ing SCALE to transmit fac smie copies of more than
400 letters of the alphabet per minute with single
wire; and by using two wires as now practlsed, the
rapidity would be doubled.-Selected.

Ne,u Method Of !Silrering Glass.-The London
Athenaum states that Mr.. Drayton, of Regent ST
of that city, has discovered new process of silver
ing glass which will entirely do away with the old
injurious, and dilatory process of sverng by mercu-
~ and tin Nor is this the only advantage. The
silverng is richer in its texture than that produced
by the old process; and it may be touched with the
finger and still left untarnished. This important i'm
provement is produced by solution of nitrate of sill
yer in water and spirit mixed with ammonia and the
oils of cassia and Of cloves. Some of the glass thus
siyered is extremely beautiful.

The Cotton Crop.-The Natchez Free Trader of
the 10th inst, says:-"Our observations within the
last week in the interior of this State and the best
information we can obtain from other parts of the
cotton growing region, induce the opinion that the
crop of cotton will be much less than has been gen.
orally supposed. The boil worm has been very de-
structiye and the storm in August did great damage
The CROP too owing to the great quantities OF rain
which fell had much fourishing appearance
than its yield in picking seems to justify as profit
able On the whole, we incline TO the opinion that
the actual Weld will be at least third less than
has been anticipated"
The Memphis Eagle of the 9th, says:-"The
weather continues dry and pleasant and our planters
are having delightful spell to gather their cotton.
The Weld will hardly be as much per acre, general
w. as last years. though the increased acres in cul-
tiyation will make up all deficiencies

american Securities -The London Times of got

American Securities.-The London Times of 29th
ult has the following attractive article:
"The extent to which the disturbances in Europe
have caused investments in the federal stock of the
United States to have been much greater than
has generally been supposed. According to return
from the 18th of June up to the sailing Of the last
packet from New York, the total taken on European
account during the time not less than 5000 900.
In addition to this, it is understood 30O0.OO0 have
just been disposed of by of the partners in an
American Banking firm, who recently came to Lon
don for the purpose. The entire federal debt is
S So 900 OOO and it therefore appears that nearly
one sixth of the whole has been absorbed on this
side in little than three months, exclusive Of
what may have been held previously. The amount
of the last loan yet remaining to be issued is
