OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES is pouring her surplus
population upon our shores. Into the pert of New
York alone, for the quarter ending the Both Ct
September last, there arrived the aggregate Of
eightyfour thousand eight hundred and three imm;-
grants, from foreign ports This would give consi-
derably over quarter of q million year for the
single port Of New York, and not less than four
hundred thousand for the whole country. In
ten years this influx will give total increase to
the population Of four millions Of souls, exclusive
Of their issue This estimate, however will probs-
bly, fall far short Of the actual result. Emigration
to the United States, from Europe, on q large
scale, is just beginning Ireland, by this agency,
g in rapid process Of absolute depop ulaton. Ger
many ranks next in order; and, during the next
FIVE years, from the aspect Of affairs upon the
Continent, we may anticipate the peaceful H.
yasion Of Thousands upon thousands, Of all the ma
the Don, and from the Seine to the Danube And
the best oft is, the great body Of these emgrans
become at once active producers of the wealth and
resources ofthe country. Our railroads and canas
are so many monuments Of Irish and German IL
dustiy. What is to be the effect of this continuous
stream from Europe, upon all the various branches
Of home industry-what the effect in shaping oct
the future foreign policy of the government-be
come the most interesting questions of philosophical
inquiry. But We have room enough, aud work
enough, and bread enough, and happiness anili-
berty enough, to share them with the industrious
that have come or may come. Let taem come.

open over the chest and nore Or less with
basqnes straight triosssings round tbs waist,
with haE bong sleeves, fastened up the front for
the arm, Try ribbon bow.
Caps are composed of poirts OF falls of EsgiiSh
lace, fastened with floating ribbons or punches Of
flowers, and are the pretiest cciifures for demioi
lette. Caps formed Of magnhccnt Valenciennes,
mixed with coques of velvet ribbon, worn for
"home" toilette. Among the novelties Of the
son we must not omit to mention the triple skirts
now worn, which appear like three deep, hounces,
but more graceful each falling quite Independent of
the other. On the edge Of each Of these skirts are
placed three rows Of quilted gauze ribbon, alternate
~ white and pink Tho berthe desccndS heart
fashion to the band entirely covering the small
sleeves trimmed with ribbons to math. On each
side of the two top skirts are placed bouquets Of
roses.
A robe Of yellow Grape with three deep aounces,
with heading of cut Grape, separated in the middle
BY rouleau OF yellow satin; these houlces are
raised on each side, with three satin ribbon bows,
with long ends. The body cut square In Louis
XIV, the front trimmed with an echelle Of small
Grape ruches. The same ruches cover the short
sleeves, descending half way to the elbow, with
ribbon bow in the middle. With this toilette
should be n couture Of long brown velvet TO-
lagc, mixed with lilies of the valley in diamonds.
A robe of salmon colored gros de tours with the
skirt covered with two deep black lace founces,
raised on each side with choux of satin. black
lace berthe falls the sleeves and trims the sides
of the open body small bord trimmed with
bunch Of small white feathers one side, and on
the opposite side long floating black velvet ribbon,
completes this toilette.
AS we have before stated, the rich materials, with
great elegance this winter. Their price is such that
none but the most richly lowered ladies can com
mand them; and, we might add, that none but the
beautiful should wear them.

We have now In our Office, says the san Jose
State Journal, a specimen Of coal, from depostc
discovered about fifteen miles from this city, by Mr.
Vanderslice, who has purchased th: properly on
which the mine is situated. The specimen seems to
be Of the quality called scanned coal mot ofgute
much density as anthracic, but equally useful. The
deposte il very extensive; the work of mining has
been already commenced, and il is but fair to expect
greater depths penetrated, that coal Of very
superior quality will be obtained. The discovery
Of this much needed article almost within reach,
cannot fail to entail upon us as a community. the
most beneficial results and when our railroad shall
have been completed and put into operation, one Of
its largest Of revenue will be the transporta
tion of coal to san Francisco. The mine Is situated
within two or three miles of the proposed route of
the railroad.

ideod be retnrned to Avery and then coming back
araiu announced the Judge that Avery was In the
Sheriff room, and surrendered himself. Judge bat
tie then ordered him to be committed and upon COL
Gathers request, he was excused from prosecuting
as Solicitor Mr.. Avery being his nephew, and John
w oodfn, Esq, was appointed in his stead. II was
also in evidence that when Flemmng stopped at the
hotel he sent his son, small lad alone to Charles
ton leading pair of horses, telling him ne would
overtake him that evening, or next day. and that he
took DR.. Happoldt, his landlord, into his room and
inquired if he had heard any threats made by the Ave-
rvs and upon being answered in the negative, said
he was afraid. Flemming did not fall, until af-
ter about the time Mr.. Avery was carried out OF the
Court House. Upon Mr.. Flemming's person was
found attached to belt, large and heavy Bowie
Knife, and Dirk about foot long, and Revol-
yor was found in his saddle bags, in his room at the
hotel The ball entered Trimmings left side. and
passed entirely through the body, lodged against his
vest the right side. The whole affair was the
work of moment.
1t was in evidence that marked change had taken
place in Mr.. Averys manner since the affair at Nc
DoweIl. That his mind seemed to brood over 1t to
the exclusion of every thing else; that on Monday
and Tuesday till the staying, he seemed unconscious
of what he doing, mado particular engagements
about business and forgo, them, nor could he be
aroused to them. One witness, the Rev. Banjamin
Hamilton of Rutherford county, having gone 10 Nor
Canton expressly him on his, Mr.. Averys, own
appointment on business after making some inef-
cual attempts to get his mind aroused to the nature
of the business left him, and returned home with the
thorough conviction that MS nina was olSoroereo Dy
the intensity of his feelings upon the situation in
which he was placed. r. G. Pearson, ESQ.,, of Nor
Canton. and John Burgn, Esq, and two other gen.
temen of the highest responsibility and intelligence
testified to the same effect. 1t also in evidence,
that Mr.. Avery was of an exceedingly kind, Peacea-
BILE and amable disposition and had never had rem
contre before with any one, and that Flemming had
an old grudge against him. Mr.. Avery was brought
out of prison and arraigned on Wednesday, and his
trial appointed for Friday. No offer was made on
either side to remove the case continue it.
On Friday the prisoner brought to the bar, and
the following jury sworn and emPanelled, to
wit:
Richard v. Michaux, Philip Warlick,
