The Prospect for Peace.

1 We fad nothing in our late papers, which are but six days irom New Orleans, at all d<cisUe in rea- ton to the progress of ihe treaty RumOrs of every kind are afloat, and we one day rejoicing over the reported termination of aH difficulties, and the next we meet with something like this which We find in The Delta.
 "The schr. Velaseo arrived last evening from Vera Cruz, which she left on thesth May. We learn from Captain Decker, of the yelasco that before he left Vera Cruz, it was reported and generally believed that the Congress at Qaeretaro had dispersed with out acting the Treaty; and il was universally ad nited by all classes, Mexieans and Americans that there would be DO peace, bat that the Americans would have either to occupy the whole country, or to retire from il entireiy.'
 As offset to this we were informed by an in- teIligent gentleman, who arrived here in the Stage on Sunday night from New Orleans that news still later than that of the Delta had been received at the Quarter Masters Department in New Orleans, to the effec; th.s .hs Mexican Congress had ratified the Treaty and that peace had been proclaimed. He received his intelligence from an officer of the army
 Should either ef these s,a,emsn.s be true we may look confidently for the early arrival of Col Seyer In any event indeed we believe that the cemmis- sioners will be home, ae we understood that no protractsd armisdce will be permitted, nor any de- lay in negotiations submitted to. which they may not deem absolutely essentisl Col Sevier s clothed with full power a once to cut short any attempt at an intrigue for time. and to order the eommenee. ment again of hostitities.

Instances Of PresentimeMt.

| have heard of several cases OF people hur-
rying home from presenliment OF fire ; and
Mr. NJ Calderwood was once, when absent
from home, seized with such an anxiety about
bis family, that, without being able in any way
to account for il, he felt himself impelled 10
fy to them and remove them from The house
they were nhabling one wing of which fell
down Immediately afterwards. No notion OF
such misfortune had ever before occurred 10
him nor was there any reason whatever 10 ex-
pect it the accident originating from some
defec, in the foundation. A circumstance ex-
actIy similar TO this, is related by Shilling OF
Professor Bohm, teacher of mathematics al
Marburg who, being one evening in company,
was suddenly seized with conviction lha, ne
ought to 90 home. As, however, he was very
comfortably taking tea, and had nothing 10 do
al home, he resisted the ,admonlion but II
returned with such force, ,ha, a, length he was
obliged to yield. On reaching his house, he
found everything as he had left j, ; but he now
felt himself urged 10 remove his bed from the
corner in which it stood TO another but, as 1t
had always stood there, he, resisted this impul-
sion also. However, the resistance was vain;
absurd as it seemed, he fe. he must do it so
he summoned the maid, and, with her aid, drew
the bed TO The other side of the room after
which he fell quite a. ease and returned TO
spend the rest of the evening with his friends.
A, ten o'clock the party broke up, and he re-
tired home, and went 10 bed and TO sleep. In
The middle of the night he was awakened by a
loud crash, and on looking Out, he saw that a
large beam had fallen, bringing part of The cei-
ling with it, and was lying exactly On the spo,
his bed had occupied.
One of the mos, remarkable cases Of presen-
liment know, is lha; which occurred not very
long since on board of her majes.ys ship, when
| lying off Portsmouth. The officers being one
day a, the mess table, young Lieutenant P.
suddenly laid down his knife and fork, pushed
away his plate, and turned exceedingly pale.
He then rose from ihe table. covering his face
with his hands, and retired from the ROOM
The presiden. Of the mess, supposing him TO be
ill., sent one of the young men TO enquire what
was The matter. At first Mr.. P. was unwilling
10 speak but, on being pressed. he confessed
that he had been seized by sudden and ire
sisibIe impression that brother he had then
in India was dead
"He died." said be, "on the l2lh Of August
at six o'clock; am perfectly certain Of it," No
Arguments could overthrow this conviction,
which in due course of pos, was verified to the
letter. The young man had died al Cawnpore,
at the precise period menlohed.-Mr Cfowe'S

Singular Circumstance.

Al. Wyslusng, Bradford County, Pennsylva-
mia, many years ago, thrifty young apple tree
was innoculated with buds Of The Golden Pip
pin-lhree branches, changing the whole head.
When the Tree began TO bear, j, was found that
one of the branches ripened its frui; in July,
and the others in October,--aIl Golden Pippins.
Many persons applied for gratis Of the early
branch, bu, the owner discouraged them sup
posing ,ha. the cause of this singular variation
existed in some defect of the stock tn that branch,
and iha, gratis taken from it would possess no
property dlfferen, from the original Golden Pip
pin. However son, having less fai,h in the
stability of natural law, tried the experiment
privately, aud on the third year brough, in seven
early Golden Pippins from the new graft. We
pow suppose that in this new way new vari-
ely of early fruis is added to our stock as much
superior TO other early apples as The fall Golden
Pippin surpasses them. Scions of This singu-
lar variety have been sent TO Tharps' Nur-
sery, Blnghamlon. New-York, where lnquirers
may obtain H. 6. F. WEllEs. Wyalusmg
