letter from Mr. Gibbs, the assistant collector at AS

alt differs materially from the channel examined
by Captain Wilkes, being much straighter and
running directly to Ii was first sounded
through by the chief pilot, Captain White. Since
the Louisiana went out the Goth of February,
seventeen vessels have gone out and eight entered
by this route, and in no case with any other de-
tcnton than that occasioned by the weather and
the tdes One vessel only has entered and one
gone out by the north channel, in both cases with
out pilots. The Magnolia, drawing eighteen feet
water, went out by the south channel at dead low
tide In addition to its other advantages, the an
chorage at Tansey Point is considered superior to
that at Bakers Bay"
Lieut.. Macarthur, of the United States surveying
schooner Ewing, speaks of it as diminishing the
danger and delay of entering the Columbia river
at least seventy five per cent In letter of April
80, he says:
'sIn fact, since Captain White has been acting as
pilot novessel has been detained twenty -four hours
at the mouth of the river either outward or inward
bound. Buoys will soon be placed and light
house erected, in order TO facilitate navigation at
that point and am of the opinion that the diff
culties will be far to place it beyond
doubt as easy and as safe the entrance to New
York bay at least long the channel discovered
by Captain White remains open"

Among the passengers who will leave New York
to- morrow in the American mail steamer Atlantic,
arc G.. w. Kendall esq OF the New Orleans Pi-
cayuns, and A. C. Bullitt esq, Of the same paper,
and recently one OF the editors of the Washington
Republic. We learn from the New York Courier,
that MIR. X. visits France in order to supervise the
completion of his great work on the late war in
Mexico, upon which he has been engaged for the
last two years. Tho highest order OF European
talent has been employed upon the establishment
of this book, and the great and expense that
have been expended may be estimated from the
fact that the labors of sixty men in coloring and
preparing the plates finish only one hundred
and twenty copies in month. These plates are
twelve in number, and their subjects are Palo
Alto, Capture of Monterey, Buena Vista, Landing
at vera Cruz Cerro Gordo, Contreras, Cherubusco,
Moline del Rey, Two Views of the Storming of
Chapultepec, and General SCOTS entrance into the
City of Mexico. The original sketches were taken
by a German artist Carl Noble, the most eminent
in bis sphere in Europe. He accompanied Mr..
Kendall in Mexico, and drew his battle scenes on
the very spot and at the very time of their occur
renee. He has engaged in the prosecution of the
whole enter prise with much real and interest
s Mr.. Kendall himself, and has spared paine
to procure the assistance of the most skilful opera
tives. The book is folio in size and will be pub
lished early in the fall. The letter press has long
been finished, and only waiting for the completion
of the plates. When finished, il will certainly be
