Land Stides.-Since the exc edingly severe
rain of Friday night Goth inst, the bank of the
bayou within the limits of our town has sank
in many places and to a considerable extent
the worst point being opposite the residence
of Mr.. F. SMITH, where half the levee fell in.
This puts our corporation to a considerable ex-
pense, but we are happy to see our Mayor ac-
tive and vigilant in remedying the disaster. A
shor distance above the mouth of the bayou,
a large semi-circular slide of the river bank has
also occurred, extending towards the bayou, and
making the upper bank Of the bayou at the
mouth a narrow neck of land which must soon
give way, in which case the mouth will be made
nearly a third wider. We are fully justified in
asserting, that during the present rise, two
thirds Of the drift of the Mississippi enters the
bayou.

The Search for Sir John Franklin..-A
private expedition, under Capt. Beatson, is to
leave England shortly to look for Sir John
Franklin. 1t is sent out under the conviction
that Sir John has advanced through the We'll
lington Channel into a high latitude, far to the
westward, probably as far as the meridian of
Behring Straits. Lady Franklin contributes
1000, and Capt. Beatson has purchased a yes-
sci of 200 tons, which he intends fitting with
three separate engines, of eight-horse power
each, with separate boilers. He will likewise
take with him a steam launch, of eight-horse
power. Her crew will consist of fifteen pick
ed men. The expedition will sail about the
end of this month.

Parish improvements.

No system of improvements probably would
be of greater benefit to our Parish than the
formation of good roads in every direction as
speedily as possible, and no policy of the pa
rochial authorities, in our opinion, would be
more universally sanctioned, than that of lend
ing all proper aid towards the furtherance of
all such works that should be required for the
convenience and to promote the interests Of our
citizens.
We alluded last week to the Importance, as
we thought, of a road across the point of land
known as "the Island" on the opposite side of
the river; and We would now refer to other
sections which have still greater necessity for
good and permanent roads. The district of
Grand River, some twenty-five or thirty miles
from Plaquemine, and which is becoming RAJ
pidly populated, is almost entirely cut off from
our town through the want of a road we be-
leve that the travel between the two places is
by water only; were there a few bridges made
and a passabie road constructed, no doubt the
citizens Of that region would soon be accom-
modated with o Post-ofiee. together with other
advantages that would accrue to them. 1t is
q fertile and finely timbered country, and
should it ever be thoroughly drained, and over
flows prevented, will become one among the
most desirable and wealthy portions of the Pa
IRISH.
But, Of the whole, if we consider the matter
the light Of interest only, the Northwestern
section Of our Parish should be favored by the
Police Jury to its greatest extent, 10 facilitating
travel from Crosse Tete to Plaqnemine, and
likewise in entertaining any project that might
be produced, having for its object either to i'm
