LOCALITIES OF HEAVEN AND HILL
Some weeks ago, says the Memphis Eagle
q. Enquirer, Dr. Porter, of the Cumber
land Presbyterian Church in this city, in
the course of a series Of eloquent astronom-
ical sermons, preached discourse on the
" Locality Of Heaven, astronomically con-
sidered, - and located that happy place in
the centre Of our solar system-in the Sun.
Last Sunday evening he discoursed, to one
OF the largest audiences we have ever seen
in Memphis, on the Locality of He'll, ;"
and fixed the abode of the damned outside
of the solar and astral systems, in the "out
er darkness, beyond the light Of the sun
and stars, where the planets, comets, and
lost worlds, which have violated the great
laws of their existence, darkle forever on
their returnless courses through eternal
space.

ExrINGUIsHING FIRES or STEAMERS
Fourneyrou, IN communication recently
addressed to the French Academy, contends
that the officers of steam vessel possess
sure aid against fire in the vapor with which
her boilers arc filed. Every vessel ought to
have the means of directing the steam upon
the fire, by means of pipes or bore. In
this way the atmospheric ar, indispensable to
all combustion. would be replaced by an
elastic, insinuating fluid, envcloping the In
famed substances in vapor as hostile to
combustion as nitrogen. NJ. Fourneyrou
declares that this ought to have been done
on board the Amazon.

A DEMAND FOR SrEAMBoATs-It is es-
timated that there are between forty and
forty-fve thousand bales of cotton above
the raft of Red river, now ready for ship
ping, and as yet, but four boats have come
into the trade, and not bale has gone
out. The boats best adapted to this trade,
will carry about 500 bales through the
Bayou, and allowing three weeks to make
trip it would take ten boats until the
first of July to carry off the crop of up
per Red river We fear that unless more
boats come into the trade than there ap-
pears to be any prospect OF at present,
the crop above the raft will not reach a
market this season. The River is now

ARKANSAS SWAMP LANDs-The Secre-

dated Dec. 23d, 1851, reversing former
decisions in regard to Arkansas Swamp
Lands. He decides that the fee simple
in the Swamp and ovcrfowed lands vests
in the State upon the approval of the act Of
2Sth Sept. 1850, and that when the selec-
tons are made and approved, or the
patent issued, the title becomes perfect
and has relation back to the date of the
grant.
He also decides that the portions Of the
lands selected, as they may from time to
time be reported, can, and ought to be
patented to the State that it is not Deces-
sary that the whole OF the lands should be
designated before the patent issues. And
be also decides that the selections of the
lands shall be made by the Secretary of
the Interior at the expense Of the United

1t follows, says the Secretary of the
Interior, that any subsequent sale or loca-
ton of Swamp or overfowed lands must be
held to be illegal and the purchase money
refunded, or change Of location ordered.

pressed his Indignation at their folly in
passing such bill, and saying, d" If they
want the bill, let them have it, - he put his
official signature to it, and it became the
