the burning Of a cotton-gln and other

SCHOOLS AND MAILS vs.. DEMOCRACY.
5Fhe Mobile Tribune makes the lol
towing extract from a letter recently re-
esivsd from d newspaper Agent, who
had been travelling through portions Of
North Alabama;
aThere Is nne serious charge to make

"The a4noant Of newspapers, period

A letter has been received at New Bedford from
Panama, May 7, stating that flour is selling at San
Francisco at $40 per barrel, and at Panama Sc SO.
About six hundred persons have returned from
the Isthmus to the United States, and many are
there, unable to proceed for the want of money.
The letter also states, that one man had obtained
one hundred and forty thousand dollars in gold by
his own digging, in three months.
Messrs, Cross, Hobson q Co., have made four
hundred thousand dollars in five months by selling

The steamer Oregon is paying one hundred and

COMPACT DIAMOND FROM BRAzm.-Specimens
of compact diamond have been found in the dia-
mond deposits of Brazil. They have the same re-
lation to the crystals as emery to sapphire. One
fragment weighed 65.76 grammes; it had the APP
pearance Of a rolled pebble of a brownish color.
Under the microscope II appears penetrated by nu-
merous yacultes, separating small irregular amel-
Lac, slightly translucent, and irsed in the sunlight.
II cuts glass easily, and scratches quartz and
topaz The specimens vary in specific gravity from
3Ol2 to 3.4l6, being differently porous. They un-
dergo no change when treated in a crucible, show
ing that they include no vaporizable material This
result does not prove the igneous origin of these
diamonds, but it renders probable the opinion sug
gested by Liebig, that they proceed from trans
formation of vegetable organic matters By COM
bustion with oxygen they were found to consist Of
1854 to SO 10 of carbon with 203 TO OF Of ash,
the latter being yelowish and appearing like feru-
ginous clay with some minute transparent crystals
whose form was not determined.

Singular Phenomenon.-A gentleman who has re-
sided long time in San Antonio, and who witness
ed the late epidemic in that place, states that the
water of the San Antonio river, which is celebrated
for its purity and could at any other time be used
after standing several days, was unfit for dur
ing the prevalence of the cholera when kept few
hours In less than half day vessel filled with
water from the stream emitted an offensive smell
similar to bige water. The rain-water, too, that
collected in pools in the street would be covered
with green scum the day after it fell. In addition
to this singular phenomenon, the same gentleman
states that the air filled with light substance
similar to the down of thistle, which could easily
be discerned with the naked eye by looking towards
the sun. The particles, when examined, disclosed
minute green specs, covered like the seeds of some
plants, with substance that gave them buoyancy.
These facts however strange they may appear, are
from liable authority; and however effectually the
animalcula doctrine may have exploded, there is,
in this instance, seeming connexion between the
cholera and the phenomenon alluded to, which mer-
its investigation.-Nsio York Courier and Enquirer

ENGLISH AND FRENCH WOMEN, ACCORDING TO
CAMPBELL, THE PoET.-I confess the comparison
of the finest Scotch women, with those educated in
England, mortiies little all my tartan nationality
! cannot disguise it; our bellies have too much
Scotchness about them. Another would suspect
this to be sideong Aattery; but if am known to
you, you know it is the pure impression of convic-
ton. | cannot exactly describe all the difference
between Scotch and English women but do, in
voluntarily acknowledge that Galilea has conquered
u.s. The language and voices of the latter have a
tone of refinement. Their education is generally
SO much better and yet, after all this does not de-
scribe the difference. | am clear that man born
north has not perfect idea of what, properly and
generally speaking, fine woman is, until he has
seen the best of English women. As to the French
women cannot describe to you my ideas of them.
There are two sorts of them--the aquiine, or,
rather, nutcracker faces, and the broad faces both
are ugly. Perhaps, on the whole, the French face
here has broadness at the cheek bones that is very
unbecoming. The boosted gait and air of the wo-
men have no charms for me. That sweet and
Greek cast of countenance, which l verify believe
English women have more than any others, is not
to be seen in Paris; or, if you see it, you imme-
diatey find out that it is an English woman.

ed on the plan of Mr.. s. Whipple, Of Utica, well
known and highly esteemed engineer and bridge
builder, and combine the two essential Characters

and are six feet in width or span. The smallest
weighs about two thousand pounds, and the largest
only three thousand pounds, and will sustain a
weight of from sixty to one hundred tons. Iron
bridges constructed on this plan can be built at a
