LADY FRANKLN.--Hope, it appears, will
never die within her breast We are informed
by the late accounts that she will send out
another Arctic expedition next season. The
Prince Albert, it is stated, will again be fitted
out and manned, and will proceed to Prince Re-
gents Inlet, where the ship will be laid up in
such safe and convenient harborage as can be
found. The party will then proceed in boats
as far as can be reached by open water; they
will cross the Isthmus of Boothia, and follow
out their search as far to the westward as pos
sible. Where boats cannot be worked, "kyacks
will be used, which, with the assistance of the
Esquimaux, will enable tho party to proceed
one hundred or two hundred miles further than
boats could carry them, as the "kyacks" can
be rolled up and dragged over the ice. 1t is
proposed that the expedition shall remain out
one season, and, if the state of the weather and
the ice be favorable, it is expected that a very
extensive search will be effected. The expedi-
ton will be under the command of Captain w.
Kennedy, who has gone home from America for
that purpose

We saw her in her dramatic glory, when the

RAPID LEGIsLATIoN.-The Harrisburg PA. J
Telegraph says that the most rapid piece Of lcgis-
lation ever recorded in the annals of any legis-
lative body was the passage of the Lighthouse
bill in the United States Senate. The motion
was made to take it up, and carried; it was
read first, second, and third time, and passed !;
sent to the House for the signature of the
speaker and for the enrolment; returned to
the Senate, signed by its president, and sent to
the President, within the space of FIVE minutes.
The motion to take up was made five minutes
before the expiration of Congress"

Mr. John r. Remington, of Montgomery, Ala
bama, (the inventor of the Remington aerial
bridge has patented new and useful inven-
ton. 1t is cement for making solid fences, as
durable as granite, and Mt q very reasonable
cost Of construction. The chief ingredient is
sand, and it can be easily manufactured by
plantation hands. The cement panels are con-
vcyed to the spot where the fence is to be
located, and the two legs of each let into the
ground like common posts The cost to the
planter is estimated at ten cents per panel Of
ten feet by five, four inches thick--far cheaper
than the wire fence

ANECDOTES OF GREAT MEN.-We have Just
read in newspaper some remarks upon the
witticisms of Mr.. Webster, and the example
given is the reply ofMr. W. to the remark that
his coat was too short: at viii be long enough
before l get another" When we were a very
little boy we read this anecdote in book; but
Mr.. Garrick was accused of the comical re-
Spouse. Mr.. Webster can be agreeably face
tious, and his arch manner of joking will redeem
a bad joke; but we have never known a good
one to be ever attributed to him.

All persons who are acquainted with the par
ticulars of the late Cuban invasion, and OF the
consequent legal proceedings at New Orleans,
will appreciate the satire of the following, from
the pen of correspondent Of the Crescent:
TO the Oppressed Of all Nations and Cofors, a.
cept Black.
PATRIOTS ron SALg-The noble refusal of
three successive juries to enforce the act of
1918 have rendered completely nugatory, at
least in this city, that detesta6Le and tyrannical
law, which, contrary to the established usages
of the world would have extended to nations
the obligation of good faith. Three thousand
gentlemen, anxious to emulate the conduct OF
Lafayette and Kosciusko, arc ready to enlist
under the banner of any people, except blacks,
who may be DESTROYS of spurning the Calling
bonds of despotism, and offer their services
upon the following liberal terms: Colonels,
$4,000; Majors, $4,000; Captains, $4,000;
Privates, $4,000 The distinguished officer
who was to have led the reserve guard of a late
famous expedition will take command of any
forces for the exceedingly moderate sum OF
$3.50, 900 and the first presidency of the newly
organized republic. Capitalists are prepared
to advance the funds necessary to the success
full execution of any feasible enterprise at the
rate of ten per cent. for stock.
All the above amounts must be secured by
bonds and special mortgage, importing confess
sion of judgment upon the public domain Pri-
vate property must also be subject to execution

not be sufficient to meet them.

MOUNT VERNoN.-ln a letter to the Balti-
more Sun of this morning, " Ion" says:
g 1t is said that Mr. Washington, proprietor
of the Mount Vernon estate, was asked by the
President, on Friday, the price at which the
United States Governments could purchase Mount
Vernon for Military Asylum, and that the re-
ply was, that for two hundred acres around the
mansion, he would ask two hundred thousand
dollars. Mr.. w. remarked that the offer of two
hundred thousand dollars had been made to him
by private individuals, and that, of course, he
would expect the Government to pay the same.
"The place WILL fear, remain in private
hands-instead of being the property, as it
should be, Of the American people"

A BARREN SoL.-In cunning little para
graph, addressed to candidates for office, the
Philadelphia Daily Meas attempts to make the
dollars out of these gentlemen, by inducing
them to advertise their candidacy. The attempt
is praiseworthy, and the advice given very
good but it appears so funny to us here, to
suppose an office-seeker capable of paying for
publication, or any thing else. Office-seekers
are with us the poorest men in the world-of
course always excepting office-holders.
