Tux New PARK.-Sinoe the Mayor and Common
Council decided to have grand park on the East
river, opposition has sprung up, in two quib
bling forms Those who opposed TO the park

pose to have park Of six hundred acres, extend

The otjccton-and il is an insuperablo one-to
this latter project is, that the present generation
could have delight from It, as the land Is with

brought against the original project, for Joncs's

Teiegraphlc Summary.

Our Geographic intelligence is interesting
yoluminous, and important The synopsis Of the
proceedings in the New York Legislature is full
of interest. A variety of subjects before that
body, and there seems disposition TO hurry
over them, which is wholly inconsistent with
the welfare Of the State, with the purposes for
which the legislators have been called together.
If the Legislature must adjourn, let them make no
plumbers to accomplish their purpose. The intel
Kgent reader will perceive that many Important
subjects are demanding the action of the State
law givers.
At Washington the Court Martial of General
Tacott is still proceedings but the reports seem to
nation and it's result.
At Lancaster the democratic ratification meet
ing has followed up the conventions of Harrisburg
and Reading with a spirit that will command
public attention, for the possible political conse-
quences which may ensue. The compromise mea-
sures of the last session, and the Fugitive Slave
law, are sustained by the action of the meeting.
From Canada we have important news. The
seoularization of the Protestant Clergy Reserves
may lead to a very serious disturbance, and even
separation of the Canadian union 1t will be seen
that the Attorney General, La Fontane, has ma lie
an announcement on the subject that will act as a
frebrand throughout the colonies of Great Britain.
From St. Louis we have later news from Santa
Fe, the particulars Of which, far as given, will
be found in our telegraphc columns.
From Boston we have some directions with res
peet to passports for foreign couEtes but they
tain not single item Of news to any one who has
instructed himself for the purpose Of travelling in
Europe with facility and convenience.

MlcRoscoPlc WRITING.-The Morn
ing Chronicle, says, in describing the
articles exhibited in the Crystal Palace:
"Ne were shown one specimen of mi
croscopic writing which was the most
astonishing of anything of the kind we
have ever seen. Upon space not ex-
ceeding that of a small pins head, and
which indeed was almost invisible to
the naked eye, was written the follow
ing words: written as microscopic
object for Mr.. Dent, 1851, Fremont a
Paris" The inscription occupies six
lines, five of which are written in abold
text hand, the fine and heavy strokes are
clearly distinguishable, and are even
and perfect as copper-plate writing; the
sixth line is in capital italics, prin ted
and shaded, and which appear when
seen through the small microscope at
tached to it, rather more than an inch
in length.

TERRIBLE ExpLosloN-Two Men
KILLED AND ONE Horribly WOUNDED.
Between 9 and 10 o'clock Tuesday
morning, one of the Mills of Mr.. J. =.
Garesche, S Powder Works, in New Cas-.
tie Hundred, about two miles from this
city, blew up, killing two men named
Dennis Tolan and Joseph Russell, and
seriously iniuring another named -
O'Donnell, that he cannot survive. We
learn that they were trying some new
machinery which had lately been erect
ed, when the rapidity ofthe mill caused
it to strike fire. from which the Powder
ignited, and caused the explosion.-Mr.
Russell is a Millwright at Brandywine,
and had erected the machinery, and was
present to test its worth when he met
his untimelv death. Great credit is due
our Physicians and Flremen for the
promptness with which they hurried to
the awful scene, in order to render what
services were in their power to alleviate
the pangs of the sufferers and arrest the
hames.-Del. Line.

The american Flag Fired on in Cuba

BosToN, May 2s.-The brig Oberon arrived
this morning from Cienfuegos. She reports that
on the 9Th inst, at P. M, as the ship Marga-
ret Webster was beating up the harbor, she was
fired into from the Fort. The first ball passed
the stern, and the second took effect on the bend
er near the main chains. The ship was then
brought TO an anchor and remained there all
night. In the morning the captain came up to
town to have the matter investigated.

Chirography.-The Elktonians have the repu-
tation ofwritins as neat and legibly-ifnot neat
eT and more legible than the citizens ofany other
place this side of sunset. There is phiosoph-
ical reason for it; but we have not time at pres
emf TO trace it. They sny bad penmanship is
one of the leading traits of genius, and we
"rayther guess it is. For since we come to
think on it, we .ecollect the handwriting of a

THE New PARk1N New YoRK.-The

deeply in earnest about the purchase of
a large Park. The Mayor and several
members ofthe Corporation have wis.,

Third avenue, consisting of about $50
acres, extending down to the East river,
which are said to be admirably adapted
TOR the purpose.

THE POSTMASTER GENERAL.-The
Raleigh Register, in explaining the post
office regulations recently issued, says
very justly that IN. X Hall is the first
man who has filled the office of Post
master General since Judge Mclean &C.
cupied the post, who has had the ability
and inclination to make himself ac-
quainted with the details, so as to tho
roughly understand how the business of
the office should be conducted"

GuANo.-The Rockville (Md.) Jour-

will be raised.

When bounteous Nature seemeth to endue all

ADVERTISING. The following is a
good illustration of the "penny wise,

ford It," The farm was sold for $ 800;

Street Scarengers our new town com
missioners were indicted into office, we hoped
to see our present inefficient street scavengers,
one and all tabooed, and several other saluary
reforms introduced. But we have been disnp-
pointed. Our wise city fathers, after mature
deliberation, concluded to let the present corps
Of incumbents retain the position they have so
long held under our town administration; and
scores of the long, lean, lank, cadavcrous look
ing "erunters"-indcpcndcn and saucy, as all
otiice-hoidcrs are-may be seen sountering lazi-
ly along the streets, with their tails gracefully
curled to one side, and making an occasional
mark, (onr corporate seal,) on some recently
white washed fence, OF reclining indolcntly on
the side walks, amusing themselves and the
passers-by with series of somnolent grunts.
Mr. Commissioners, YOU had better keep an eve
on yonr scavengcrs and see that they perform
their duty faithfully, or we'll put mark on YOU
when next election day comes round.

ADvERT1s1NG.-The New York COR
respondent of the Boonsboro Odd Eel
low mentions the following fact, which
speaks something in favorof advertising:
"a friend from the country who pub
lishes one of the best country papers in
State, called on me not long since for
the purpose of soliciting an introduction
to some wealthy firms in the city, who |
thought would like to advertise their
business in his paper. complied with
ms request; and, among others, intro
duced him to the proprietors of splen-
did furniture warehouse, situated on the
east side of Broadway, few doors above
Stewards marble palace. To my great
surprise, the head of the firm said, that
he never advertised at all, and that he
considered it an insult for any one to
ask him to do SO. "Here is my furnl-
ture," said he, "if the people want it,
let them come and try it," The coun-
try publisher and retired in disgust.
Mark the sequel. The aforesaid firm
failed last week, and all their magniti-
cent furniture has been sold at auction,
at most ruinous sacrifice, and nearly
every article was bought by a man who
it is well known has made a most prince
ly fortune by advertising. | refer to

a poor man: now he is worth millions of
dollars"

FIRE INHARFoRD COUNTY. We learn
from the Patriot of Tuesday, that the
dwelling, with several out-houses, at
Taylor's Hall, Bush River Neck, Har-

Nelson, were set on fire on Friday last,
and burned to the ground. The house
was occupied by Mr.. Samuel Hopkins,
who was absent in Baltimore at the time.
The family, composed almost entirely
OF females and children, had barely time
to save themselves from the destructive
element.-The only articles saved were
one or two pieces of furniture.
