STEAMER CAsPrAN.-This superb steamer ar
rived at our docks on Thursday evening and
leaves tomorrow (on the arrival of the cars)
for Buffalo, via Cleveland.
OF the numerous steamers put in commits
sion by the Messrs. Wards, none have equaled
the Caspian in richness and completion of finish
she is perfect gem from the keel to truck and
is furnished with everything that can make
steamer pleasant, swift and safe. Her speed
from present indications, will exceed that of
any other boat now on the lakes, she makes
twenty-six turns per minute, with thirty-one
foot wheel. Her dimensions are 254 feet long,
80 feet beam,l2 fee thold and 1000 tons burden.
She has $50 berths; 80 rich mahogany bed
steads and the most costly cabinet furniture ev-
er used upon any steamer on the lakes. The
silver ware of which she has large supply Is
of the most beautiful modern patterns and
shows to admirable advantage in the miniature
crystal palace made for its reception.
AS a whole, the Caspian excels all her prede-
cessors in model finish, furniture and adapta-
ton to the business for which she is designed;
the safe, swift and comfortable conveyance Of
passengers. If Ohio boasts of her star, the
Buck Eye State, Michigan may justly feel proud
of her brilliant and far superior constellation.
The Caspian is under the command of Capt.
c. H. Ludlow, the man and boy Of our Lakes,
whom every body honors as a sailor and gen.

McCoRMICKs REAPMG MAcHNE.--This ma
chine which has received an award ola gold med
al by jury of the Worlds Fair, is now making
an excursion through some of the Agricultural
districts of England, and exhibiting its great
practical utility, rs well as novelty.
The London Times of Aug. 22d, thus speaks
of its performance at different places
Son its first successful trip at Tipiree the ag-
riculturists present raised a cheer. AT Farming
ham the enthusiasm manifested was still great
err; and yesterday at Cirenchester there was no
lack either of curiosity or approval among the
crowds assembled. 1t was tried on barley,
wheat and oats, and under circumstances fairly
calculated TO test its merits. To say that where
corn is badly lodged, or thin, or where the land
is rough with stones, its success is only partial,
is to state what everybody of sense would ex-
pect, for machines must have fair play shown
Them and it is the duty of the farmer so to cul-
tivae his soil that mechanical facilities can be
brought to bear upon it with every reasonable
advantage. Yet it is wonderful how well,
coming upon system of agriculture totally un-
prepared for it, the American reaper does its
work. A stubble longer and more irregularly
cut will occasionally mark a spot where the
crop was so trnmpled or borne down that it
could not be well got at but, wherever it stands
at all well, it is removed with perfect precision
and evenness, both on level land and on the
most rapid decvties and curves. This was full
" shown yesterday, the fields where the exper-
ments were made presenting very undalating
surface"

The European Times has the following no.
tice Of the last movement of Bnruum, to graft
fy the curiosity of his country:
"The Immortal Barnum' is one of the in
stitutions of America. Nothing seems too
light or too heavy for his grasp, whether it be
Tom Thumb, or the Great Worlds Fair itself
We give in another column an extract from the
letter of London correspondent, who states a
fact which has certainly surprised us, and in all
probability, vii! surprise our American readers,
namely, that the genius of Barnum has been
for some time at work to furnish the good cti-
zens of the Western Continent with fac-simile
of the Crystal Palace. He has engaged artists
here TO take sketches Of that marvellous build
ing and its contents, which are elaborated by
other artists in New York, and the whole when
completed, will form panorama of more than
three miles in length! This is bold, and If it
be well DONE as we have no doubt it will be, can
not fail to prove an attractive speculation Ac-
cording to the statement Of our correspondent,
the panorama Of the Crystal Palace will be
ready by the time that this sheet reaches the
hands Of our transatlantic readers"

A Discovery IN SURGERY.-A Prussian ma
med Aran is said to have recently made dis
covery in surgery that is exciting considerable
interest in the scientific circles Of Berlin. It is
the application of chlorine to relieve pain. Un-
like chloroform 1t can be used without the
least danger to the patient, and is very efiectual
in its operation. From the account, small
quantity of the fluid, Qrom ten to twenty
drops) is dropped on the part affected, or on a
lint bandage slightly moistened with water, and
then applied, and all bound up in oil silk, and a
linnen band. After from two to ten minutes
the part becomes insensible, and the pain is no
longer felt, whether it be from rheumatic, ner-
vous or other disorders. After n time it re-
turns again, but usually weaker, and with sever
al applications it is often entirely relieved
The discoverer has presented memorial on
the subject to the Academy at Paris.

UTAH TERRIToRY.-Account to the 9th of
August have been received from the Salt Lake.
The organization Of the Territory was in pro-
cess. The Governor, Brigham Young, has is
sued proclamation calling upon, seven organ
lied counties, to elect members to the Terrtori-.
al Legislature If ladies' had right to vote, the
Governors wives, 80 in number, would hold pre-
cisely the position of the Silver Grays, in New
York, the balance of power--that is as the Sill
yer Grays have heretofore stood. AT present
we have the authority Of the Tribune for believ-
ing that they are not quite strong enough for
that, having about 2t per cent of the wing
strength of the Empire State; that is 97t per
cent Seward Abolition, and 24 per cent Fillmore
National. If the Fillmore Grays had 25 percent
last year and 81 now, how long will it take to
abolilionize the wing party in the Empire State!
After three months letter addressed to the last
Silver Gray man in New York wouldn't be ta-
ken from the Post Office, and on the other hand,
who would get the letter addressed to Mrs. Gov.

AUsTRIA-By advices from Vienna of the
3lst ult., we learn that the attitude assumed by
the people caused by the edict of abolishng the
constitution, is stated to inspire those in office
with serious misgivings Very great excitement
has been created throughout the whole Of Eu-
rope, by the PRONUNCIATION of two DEGREES by the
emperor Of Austria, declaring that his ministers
are henceforth responsible to no other political
authority than the throne. The very forms Of
constitutional government are abolished, and flu

THE PAPAL STATEs-A letter from Rome,
in the Universe, states that the city was thrown
into great excitement on the 29th Of Aug, by the
chambers of Signor Alexandron one of the SUI
peror officials of the Secretary Of State, being
broken open by the police, and infinitely search
ed as Signor Alexandroni's room in the palace
of the Quirinal. The police could not have ven-
tured upon such an act without special com
mission from the Pope himself The same cor
respondent states that an attempt had been made
to assassinate the Count Dandili on the 28th
ult. The count is an assessor and director of
the police, but the silleto struck the hip bone
and caused but slight wound.
PARls.-Thursday evening.-Further arrests
have been made to-day, and the total number of
persons is reported to be one hundred and
twenty-five. A general socialist revolution was
the object of the conspiracy. There is little or
no excitement on the subject in Paris. 1t seems
certain that the Prince D'Joinville will stand for
the Presidency, although such intention is con-
sidered highly injurious to the country, and will
have fatal effects on the interest of the Orleans
branch.

dant matter for comment. This field lies about
$50 miles from Sydney, from the mountain
ranges to an indefinite extent in the Interior

the fact of rumors being in circulation there
