Y UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT-Judge
McCaleb.-1he Independent To,pboat Company VS..
The. Steamship Ohio.-The argument in this case
was resumed yesterday by Mr.. Grymes, who con-
tended that the Ohio steamship had crossed from
the western side of the Mississippi to the EASTERN
before the collision took place, and that the tow
boat had mistaken the position of the Ohio, and
changed her course, so as to bring her to the east
side, where the collision occurred.
Mr.. Benjamin followed on the part of the libel
lants, and in the course of an elaborate argument,
showed that it was the proper course of boat des
cending the river take the middle of he.stream,
and that a boat ascending the river was known to
move from the east to the west bank so as to suit
the purposes of navigation, and save distance
in coming up the stream. 1t had been proved that
the Ohio was ascending the river at the rate 81
nine miles per hour, and that the towboat was
descending it at the rate of nine miles per hour.
thus the boats were nearing each other at the rate
of eighteen miles per hour, or one mile in three
minutes and third Then it was proved that the
Ohio was only quarter of a mile off the towboat
when it was first discovered, and this would give
| only about one minute to cross from the west &c
| the east bank before the tow would be alongside
| He contended that the Ohio had miscalculated the
| time it would take to cross the bows of the tow
boat, and in attempting to do so, ran into her OF
the starboard side, in the middle ofthe stream. II
support of this view, he quoted from the evidence
and said that the remarks of the pilot, Kinney, a
proved by several witnesses, when he told TIT
hemsman of the Ohio to put the helm a-port, tt
run her to the east bank, and he should be right
and to run her ashore, tended to prove this view
the case and to show that the collision occurred il
an attempt to cross the river.
At the conclusion of this speech, the case wa
submitted, and the court took it under advisemenl

The Factory Ctlrls, at LoWeii, are going III ioi
the new costume. A letter to the N. Y. Tribune
says:
-Four young ladies have been perambulatng
our streets all the morning, dressed in light blue
de laine skirts long enough to reach below the
knee with full Turkish trousers of the same, and
neat blue CATERS to match. They certainly made
very neat and pretty appearance, and behaved
themselves in a very modest and becoming manner.
This change in the ladies' costumes is much ap-
proved of by every body here, and bids fair to be-
come the rage, particularly among the factory girls
of whom we have some twelve or fifteen thousand

How MONEY CONES AND GoKs.-The exporta-
ton Of specie is periodically noticed as national
calamity. We should prevent it if possible, of
course, but still we ought not to lose sight alto
gether Of such facts as the following:
There arrived at New York during the month
Of May, All vessels with immigrants, bringing
3s,436 passengers. The Journal of Commerce
estimates that each passenger brings with him, on
snayerage, $l20. which would make the specie
received in New York, from this source, during the
month Of May, $4,6 l2, 32O-more than the entire
amount exported from that port during the month"

Memphis, Tenn, July, 1850,
The Faculties, for intellectual abilities,
moral worth and professional requirements,
viii compare favorably with the most distin-
guished in our country. The medical faculty
constitutes an anomaly in this OF any other
c0Sntry--all Of them are able lecturers and the
best Of teachers.
Those who win contemplate our geographic
cal position, and the extent Of our population,
can have no doubt as to the eligibility Of our
situation for an enterprise Of the kind. As
10 health, including all seasons Of the year, We
deny that any other city has more.
A common error exists in the minds Of many
students relative to the place Of studying med
icine; those who intend praetieing among the
diseases Of the West and South should cer-
tainly educate themselves at a school whose
Faculty are practically acquainted with those
diseases
That the public may be satisfied Of the per-
manency Of this school. we feel il our duty to
state, that the Trustees ard Faculty form
UNIT in action, which augurs wen for its future
success; and that the peculiar internal organi-
zation which connects them, cannot be Inter.
rupted. Il. w. NJ. KING,

A MOUNTAIN OF MAGNEsIA.-On
Pitch (or Pit) River, the principal
affluent of the Sacramento, which
flows through charming valley, and
about five days journey from Goose
Lake, there is hill OF pure carbon
ate Of magnesia, 100 feet high
Much of il is perfectly white, while
some is more or less discolored with
iron, as if painter had been striven
TO give effect by a coloring Of light
and shade. Large masses are easily
detached, which, rolling down into
the river that washed its base, float
ed off as light and buoyaRt as cork,
until it became saturated with wa
ter. A thousand wagons could be
loaded in a very short time, and
there is enough to supply the whole

low, the soil seems TO be impregna-
ted with it, and the banks of the
river are formed of it.-TPacifc

work for rhe season.

SEEDS, &c.-Every farmer and
gardener who intends TO collect their
crops by collecting superior seeds tu-
bers,and blands, should attend 10 this
now, that every thing may be ready
in due season, that there NAV be
no loss by delay in waiting for these
things in the season of planting or
loss Of time in a more busy season:
TREES AND ScIoNs.-Cultivators
should look over their notes and
memorandums and see what they
want in this line. Scions may be
cut at any time in this month. Lay
them in a tight moistened box, with
moist saw dust or moss at :he bot
tom; or moist mats or cloths will an
swer. Lay moss, cloth. or mats
moistened, over the scions, and set
the box in cool place in the cellar;
and If dark, the better. Do not ap-
ply water to the scions, as they are
often injured by keeping them too
damp or wet.
PREPARING SEEDs.-It is rather
late 20 prepare seeds OF fruit trees
that have been kept dry, but it may
be better late than never. II apple.
pear. or ounce seeds are moistened,
and put into damp loan, and put
where they will undergo the changes
OF freezing and thawing, which are
common in this month, they will
probably vegetate, though not SO
readily as those prepared in season.
When seeds are put into moist loan
or sand early in winter they do not
need TO freeze. Soak peach stones
a few hours and then put them into
moist loan. Crack the stones, and
take out the seeds, at the proper time,
and plant as you would corn.
CATTERPnLARs.--By examining
the lower branches of apple trees,
near the extremities on a bright
morning, the eggs of catterpillars
may be seen in clusters on the
branches, which may easily be taken
off with the fngeIs.-N. e. Farmer.
