CLOCK HEARD THREE HUNDRED MILES
Ii is known that experiments have been making for
some time, on the telegraph line between Philadel-
pha and Cincinnati, by the distinguished astrono-
mer, Sears c. Walker and Prof Locke, for the
purpose Of ascertdining the difference of longitude
between any two points upon the line We learn
from the Cincinnati papers that Prof Locke has
devised plan Of connecting the machinery of an
astronomical clock with the telegraph in such a
manner that its beats may be heard or registered on
the running llet of paper that receives Geographic
impressions at every station. In this way it can
mark simultaneously at each station on both ex-
tremities, the hours, minutes and seconds and also
says the Gazette, the exact fraction of second al
which star or other celestial body passes the
meridian at either place. In this wai difference
of time, and of course of Longitude, between two
points can be asceraned with the greatest accuracy
1t is remarkable that the tekings Of the clock,
when in communication with the wire, can be
heard along the line from Cincinnati to Phila del
phia with perfect distincness.

RIVAL TO JENNY LIND.-Jenny Lind has rival
in the person Of Mademoiselle Nissen. An Eng
fish paper, speaking other, says: "The celebrated
vocalist, who makes her first appearance on the
English stage on Thursday evening next, at Covent
Garden, appears to have created the same sort of
excitement in Italy, which Jenny Lind has done
among US in England. u Piratd, an Italian jour
nal devoted to music and the fine arts thus speaks
Of her performance of Norma Last nights per-
formance will long dwell in the recollection of the
Bolognese. So exciting a scene has never been
witnessed. Nissen's Norma has wrought all Boz
logna into perfect state Of frenzy. To record the
effect and merits OF either her acting her singing
would prove as vain as il would be a useless task.
Suffice it to say she electrified her hearers in
Vulnerable were the encores, and so multitudinous
the recalls, increasing each time in enthusiasm that
they protracted the performance more than an hour
beyond the usual period. We wait her Amina, in
La Somnambula, with intense impatience.'

SILVER CRADLE.-In accordance with an an
Gent custom in England, the worshipful lady of
the Mayor of Liverpool was recently complimented
with the gift of an elegant and massive silver era

had presented his mayorship. We have heard Of
folks being born with silver spoon in their
mouth but this idea Of coming forth in a silver
cradle exceeds il. The ceremonies attending the
presentation were as ridiculous as all other Off

INTERESTING DIscovERY.-We learn from Mr.
Bartlett's Dictionary of Amerioanisms,s that the

Boston origin. The same work gives the following
definition Of the word " Caucus sound Of so
much expression in politicians ears:
'CAucUs.-A private meeting Of the leading politicians
Of parry 70 upon the plans to be pusaed IN an ap-
preaching election"
This is the leading meaning Of this word, but in
New England at least, it covers any party meeting,
however large, held with reference to an election.

The Governor OF 0HIo.-A Washington letter
says I'VE have seen a letter from leading
gentleman in Ohio which states that there is every
probability that the failure of the cities Of Cincn
matt, Columbus and Cleveland to register their
votes, will be fatal to their legality in which case
Weller will have the majority. The wings, how
ever, declare in that event that they will retire
from the Legislature, and thus prevent Weller from
being installed We do not know upon whom the
duties Of Governor would devolve during the inter
Tegnum. The present Governors time expires on
the Sd December, and it is probable the President
of the State Senate would act as Governor until a
new one was installed"

AMENDING THE SUB-TREAsURY-A Washing
ton letter announces, apparently by authority, that
the only features which will be touched by the
Secretary of the Treasury in his report have been
before recommended by him. One is to permit
Assistant Treasures to draft on each other for the
purpose of enabling the United States Treasurer to
remove balances from place 10 place, by selling the
draft in the Market and the other to allow drafts
upon Assistant Treasurers TO be paid in at the Gus
tom-house for duties. BY this means, the endless
transfer of big bags and boxes of specie from banks
to custom-house, the counting of it, and its return
to the banks often in the of the day, will be
avoided"
