"Splrifual Telegraph"

In looking over the Spiritual Telegraph,
we learn, upon the authority Of Judge Ed
mons, that the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher
having conversed with him upon the subject
OF Spirtualism became quite favorably i'm
pressed with his views. He says, "Mr.
Beecher preached course Of four sermons
coyertly, and as his congregation could bear
but ere long he will no doubt come out
plainly"
This information, however, is not more re-
markable than many other things stated in
the same article, namely:
The interview between Judge Edmons and
the Reporter Of the Herald. Mediums are
said to converse fuently not only in the nun
dane languages, but in the language ofMe IN
ha6itants Of the Planet Mars! Instances are
given where chairs have shot across the room
with the speed of locomotive; and have
even followed the medium up flights of stairs
going step by step. &c
This ia wonderful age truly, when papers
are started expressly to disseminate such in
formation as this The believers, it appears,
style themselves the New Church." and be-
lieye they are the embodiment of a new
Phaee in Christandom, "Ratioaal Morality"
The same paper, Nov. 18th, contains let
Ter from DR.. Ashburner, in which he gives an
account Of visiting medium with some
friends. After couversing upon much inter-
es.ing matter some prophesies were made
says the writer. "but as they involved matters
do not feel at liberty to allude to, sha
pass them with the remark, that | have since
had Spiritual communication informing me
that these were 'ons-sided guesses. made ac.
cordiog to the wish which prevailed at tn,
time" 1t would appear that we are not tc
depend upon prophetic communications made
to us by Spirits. whose eager wish may out
run their discretion.
Would it not always be better to consul
the "law and the testimony" as we were com
manded to do many hundred years ago?

Block Island is situated in the Atlantic
Ocean, 20 miles Northeast from Montauk
FONT 1t is but seven miles long. and ia its
widest part three miles. The island is re-
markable as containing within its borders
large salt pond or lake. covering an area of
1000 acres, and separated from the ocean
only by strip of land or sandy shore, about
ten rods wide. Grace's Point, on the west
side of the island. if fortified with break
water, would give an additional security to
life and property on the ocean. The large
pond or lake referred to- is within a mile or
two of Grace's Point, and in shore from the
the place of anchorage. By cutting through
the narrow strip about ten rods, one of the
finest inland harbors in the world would be
accessible. The water averages from 10 to
20 fathoms in depth. and Of such extent as
to be capable of accommodating the largest
feet in the world. We hope the next Con-
gress will appropriate funds for this worthy
object.

Consolidation efCItIes.

The citizens of Brooklyn. Williamsburg and
Bushwick have resolved to unite the three
cities into one, by vote of more than FIVE to
one. The united population of the three cit
les will exceed 100000 making it the third
city in the Union.
The name Of the new city will be Brooklyn.
1t is believed that next year. New York and
Brooklyn will consolidate. making popula-
ton nearly as large as Paris.
The Boston Transcript says that plan for
enlarging that city, by annexing all the towns
within Eve miles, and thus making it equal in
size and population to the third city in the
United States, will be presented for the early
consideration Of the next Legislature.

American Competition with England.


| rTon the bohuonsEAamlheh
A writer TO whose compilation the Times
gives space and . conspicuous position, has
taken more than one opportunity Of enlarging
upon competition with which our merchants
are threatened in linda and A sia, on the part
of American traders The ships Of the Uni
ted States appear on the Mekran coast, as
well as at Kutch, Muscat and other placss
with various articles which they barter for the
produce of those countres the American
commodities being principally certain coarse
cotton fabric which they call sheetiug, and
dollars. The Americans appear to enjoy a
particular advantage over our traders--ihat
Of conducting their barter individually, in ships
which are independent, floating, pushing,
shops, instead Of working by routine through
large establishments at Bombay and thus
they not only save expense, but u each par
tcuar transaction secure the largest amount
Of profit
Another advantage they have, is expressed
by the political agent at Hutch, who says of
the sheeting, that it "6nds acceptance among
the people of the country, because it lasts
longer than the cloths imported from Bonn
bay. "1hiS indicates the true force of the
competition which we have to dread from the
United States. II America can cut us out
in India, where we occupy the entire country
with our Government and commerce, the ri
dicule aud the disgrace would be greater
than any which the most anti-commercial
country has incurred.
But there is some hing in this superiority
of tissue over the manufacturers in England
The comparison is not made for the first time
nor only in cotton sheeting. It is reported
from the Hudson River Railway, that British
iron rails become in a worse condition within
twelve mon his than American within mum
Der Of years. There may be exaggeration in
this; bu; we have had complaints of our rail;
from our own official and scientific investigat
ors, who have declared the bad make of oul
iron to be frequent source of accident. Al
the last meeting of the Sheffield cutters, tn,
Master cutler declared that american cutters
were cutting them om in knives; knives o
American make being preferred to ours, be
cause the material does not give way unde
use ss those of Sheffield are sometimes fuunt
f to do. In short, notwithstanding tho sharl
practice and hasty habits Of America, the,
are in some branches Of trade earning III
repute for sterling stuff, and make which use,
: to be our own; and if we suffer them to wi
that reputation from us altogether, then in

The following paragraph which we find
disconnected from either caption or signature,
Striks us as true indeed:
None of us know what we can live past till
we have proved it. God sends strange
strength to carry US on from one great trial
to the next that is reserved for us We live
through them-and past them So that TO
the world they seem over; SO that strangers
cheerfuly observe TO each other, that "we

EvMuch is said of Alexander Smith, who
has so recently appeared among the poets of
England By some he is praised as the most
remarkable genius of modern times; by 9TH
ers he is even placed below poets of the third

opinions will prevail, until we shall see more
of the author, aud be prepared to judge uu-

And they ooze plenteous gold. Wemust 90 down,
