The SALT LAKE.-Leutenant Gunnson, of the
Typographical Engineers, who has been employed
for long time past in the survey of the Great
Basin, in which the Salt Lake is situated, speaks
Of the lake an object of the greatest curiosity
The water 10 about one-third salt, yielding that
amount on boiling. Its density is considerably
greater than that Of the Dead Sea. One can hardly
get his whole body below the surface. In sitting
position the head and shoulders will remain above
the water, such 10 the strength of the brine; and
on coming to the shore the body is covered over
with an incrustation of salt in fine crystals The
most surprising thing about it is the fact that
during the summer season the lake throws on
shore abundance Of salt, while in the winter sea
son It throws up glauber salt in large quantities.
The reason OF this is left to tho scientific to Judge.

From the Hartford courant.

Mr.. DEmSe, from the committee appointed to
wait upon President FILLMORE and invite him to
visit the State capital while the Legislature was in
session, made report yesterday in the Senate.
He remarked that the committee saw Mr.. FILL
in the city of New York, and placed in his
hands certified copy of the invitation from the
Legislature. Mr.. FILLMORE expressed his gratf-
cation at this compliment from the General Assem-
bly,, and stated that, he had received an invita-
ton to visit Boston, if he complied with the one he
would with the other. His decision, however,
could not be made until he reached Buffalo, when
he would communicate to the committee by tele-
graph.
The committee likewise waited upon the men,
bers of the Cabinet, who expressed their readiness
TO comply with the invitation. Mr.. WEBSTER, in
particular in his reply, complimented Connecti-
cut upon her revolutionary efforts, and upon her
present devotedness to the Union. He remarked
that the State. though small had particularly dis
tingushed herself for the production Of great men.
Mr.. BoARpmAN made similar report in the
House.

was really gratified to remark the reverence
paid to the authority of Moses by Mr.. Dana
and the Free-soilers assembled in Faneuil Hall
on the fourteenth day Of October last. The
following passage will interest them highly, of
course. jain says, in his Biblical Archaeology,
sec. l69: "The number in family was very
much increased by the slaves that were attach

archs, as was sometimes the case, at later pc
Rod, with individuals in Greece and Italy,
possessed many thousands of them. Slavery

saw the evils Of slavery, was not in condition
to abolish it, and it would not have been wise
for him to have made the attemptu That

sought refuge among the Hebrc,cs, was to be

They come homo TO no man. The talk of such
wrongs sounds too much Ike the pages Of first
rate boarding school novel;"
The tone of the writer of the above sentiments
sounds strangely for a Cnrolinian. But it is an
undonbtcd iaci that the politicians have so much
out-lcroded llerod that the secession movement
IS running into the ground among the more sober
planters. The fact that many have left The State
for the United States' is in proof Of this. 1t is
to be hoped that the reaction will gather strength
and force for thesake Of the State, that it may
be saved from impending ruin.

CRIME IN New YORK

STRAKosoH's New OpERA.-Strakosch's new
opera, Giovanni di Napoli," of which we have
heard so much, was brought out in New York by
Max Maretzek on the evening Of the 9Th. The
musical critics of the leading papers of that city
devoted, on the following morning, considerable
space to the discussion OF its merits. We quote
portion of the article in the Courier and Enquirer
which seems the most candid of any we have read !:
" Mr.. Strakoschs new opera was complinented
last evening by an unusually large and attentive
audience. He certainly had every reason to be
satisfied with the manner in which his composition
was received The house seemed pleased through
out the evening, and several pieces were honored
with hearty applause. The artists and the Young
composer were called out at the end of each act
Giovanni d Napo is an opera which none of
the modern Italian composers need have been
ashamed of as first production Some of the
best OF them have put forth worse music in the
height of their popularity; and not to go beyond
what we have heard this season, Parsini p" and
'Gemma di Vergy are not much before it in inter-
est The principal merit among those which first
attracted our attention, the absence of defect,
which we expected to be naturally prominent in
the work OF one writing for the stage for the first
time. We feared that the work would lack move
ment-that it would lag in some places-move
awkwardly in others-and, though of necessity
containing pleasing melody, fail to produce gem
eral good effect from the want Of smooth fitting
together oil the several parts: i he contrary was
the case. Hardly could the work of practced
composer be more free from awkward breaks in the
train of musical thought. Each act, each scene,
each movement, advanced gracefully from its COM
mencement to its close. The music is essentially
dramatic, and Of the most modern declamatory
style-the melodies always pleasing, and some
times quite brilliant-and the harmonies, as a
general thing quite far from common place. We
have to be well satisfied with the merits of
the first opera written expressly for our public,
and to expect much finer works from the young
COMPOSER"

GEORGE THOMPSON IN AMERIcA-There are
two important rules for which we possess the
highest possible sanction, and which have been
confirmed by the largest possible experience. The
first s not TO offend against the multitude of a city
and the second is, not 10 meddle with our neigh.
boris affairs We are sorry TO say that one of our
countrymen, member of our legislature, the repre-.
sentative of The Tower Hamets, and as Wa learn
just now in direct violation of both these salutary
maxims. Mr.. George Thompson, NJ. p, radical
reformer, and general ameliorator of British East
eIndian, American, and all other institutions, just
now following in the wake of Jenny Lind, and
starring it in the principal cities of the Unit ed
States A picturesque scene, lately described IN
these columns, has already acquainted our readers
with the object of his visitation. 1t s nothing less
than TO abolish nsfdnter, by the breath of his
trils, that unhappy institution which, if we cannot
but regard it as the darkest stain the escutcheon
of American liberty, and pregnant with un-
known ills, we must also remember to be a British
importation, the bequest of ancient mis-. government,
and almost ine1Iicabiy wound in with the domes-
tic and political customs and laws of the States.
Except Under The Just provocatun caused by the
exuberant impotence of Brother Jonathan in his
remarks on the country Of his ancestors, no prudent
Englishnan would deny that there are two sides to
the question OF American slavery. No English
man, with singls-minded intention for the good
of the slaves and The free colored men, would pro-
pose and agate for immediate abolition ; he would
not demand an act which would at one stroke,
deprive masters of servants, and servants of mas
ters, capital of labor, and labor of capital and, in
fact, shake long gestablished state of society moi
merely to atoms, but to discordant and hostile ee.
ments. Such, however, is the innocent recreation
in which Mr.. George Thompson is beguiling the
interval of his parliamentary labors, and preparing
for the hospitalities of Christmas. 1t is possible
that Mr.. George Thompson may take a different
view of the two rules We have mentioned above
He may set them one against the other, and hole
that be has all the more right to defy the prendice
or the comfort of the American slave owners, be
cause he is foreigner, and that he has specia
call to undertake this agitation, because publ,
opinion on The other side of the Alsn,ic makes i
unsafe or inconvenient to citizens of the Union
We beg, however, to submit that when a cours,
of conduct fails under the direct operation of tw,
separate rules, it is doubly condemned [Londor

The TRADE OF BosToN WITH CUBA AND HAYTI.
The Boston Traveller says of the trade of The West
Iudia Islands with Boston, next TO Cuba comes the
Island of Hayti. During the year 1850, 293 vessels
arrived here from ports in Cuba and l45 from ports
in Hayt The largest number from any orher West
India Island was from ST. Martins, 90; and the
total number from all the West India Islands, save
Cuba and Hay,i, was 98, or Al 7less than from Hay
ii alone. This shows conclusivey the value of the
trade of Hayt to this country, and how much in
terest we have in the continuance of peace upon
the Island.
1t shows also another much more important fact.
The extent of the trade with Cuba, and the impor.
tance of annexation, which would give to Ameri-
can merchants monopoly acquired not by ve1a-
tious restrictions and prohibitions, but by superior
energy and intelligence.
