ATLANTIC SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH.-
1t is stated that arrangements are already
far advanced towards completion for
laying down a submarine telegraph be-
tween Galway and Halifax. The dis
tance is about 1900 miles The practi-
cability of the thing has been guaranteed
under the hand of nearly all the eminent
engineers of the day, and various parties
have sent in estimates for the execution
Of the work. These vary from gSOO 900
down to g3OO, 900, and it is a remarkable
fact that some of the lowest have been
sent in BY many of the most res
pectable firms in England In connec-
ton with this interesting subject, we
have seen statement in the London
Morning Advertiser to the effect that a
new and much improved class of stea-
mers is to be built, by which it will be
perfectly practicable to accomplish the
voyage between Halifax, in three and a
half to four days. The writer says:
This is no speculative statement. 1t is
grounded on experiments which have al
ready been made to test the sailing
capabilities of vessels constructed on the
new principle. With the submarine
telegraph which is about to be laid down
between Halifax and Galway, and the
passage of vessels in three days and a
half across the Atlantic, America and
Great Britain will virtually become one
colossal country.

TIE EMPEROR OF Russia AND HIS
TRooPs. A gentleman of New York
who was recently present in St Peters
burg at review of 10000 Russian
troops by the Emperor, the Mirror says,
describes him as a perfect specimen of
the physical man; in height six feet three
and admirably proportioned, with snow
white hair and ruddy countenance. He
was plainly dressed in a dark green frock
with black chapeau without feathers;
and mounted on coal black charger, of
immense size, the Czar looked "every
inch king" As the troops were pass
ing before him, he suddenly raised his
hand as signal for halt, when he dis
mounted, and walked up to private in
the ranks, and asked him to unbutton
his coat On finding that the soldier
was without shirt, the Emperor prompt
ly ordered the officers of the company
to Siberia, and the officers of the regi
ment were instantly degraded to the
rank of privates.

SENSIBLE AT LAsT.--The overrunning
condition of the National Treasury is
putting few grains of common sense
into the Whig craniums. The Albany
Erening Journal is coming down from
its protective tariff notions after this
fashion:
''Now that the doctrine and policy of
protection is exploded and obsolete,
why not take off the sugar duty; Duties
are only raised now for revenue, and as
the present tariff brings a large surplus
into the treasury, let sugar, necessary
which enters into every family, be ex-
empted from taxation

Rs8s~ a good story is told of rustic
youth and country girl who sat facing
each other at the supper table of husk-
ing party The youth, smitten with the
charms of the beautiful maid only vented
his passion in sly looks, and now and then
touching Patty's foot under the table.
At that time there being no Bloomers,
the girl either fearful Of the purity of her
stockings, or determined TO make the
youth express what he appeared so warmly
to feel, bore with his advances little
while in silence, when she cried out,
''Look here, if you love me, tell me so,
but DON'T dirty my stockings.'' !

Qg-TO THE PUBLlC.-There has recent
ly been presented for payment, at th STAGE
Treasury, about 50, 900 fraudulent Comptroll-
er's Warrants The blanks and signature Of
the Comptroller is undoubtedly genuine, hay
ing been purloinsd from his office.
The public are hereby cautioned against
purchasing warrants until they have been
carefully examined and compared with those
that are properly and legally filed up aad is
sued
Any person familiar with the genuine, could,
by even the SLIGHTEST examination, as the fill
ing up, signature at time of register, SC,
are unlike any that have been issued from the
flee.
1t is believed that few, if any, more are in
circulation, for had many of the blanks been
obtained they must have been missed, having
been, with bonds and school warrants, signed
in blank, as we'll as other evidences Of indebt
edness issued and awaiting delivery, often
kept for some time before called for and Sc
cured, where they were daily under the notice
of those employed in the Office, and as well
protected as they could have been without
necessary safes or vaults, not yet provided by
the state for that office. The redemption of
any of the fraudulent warrants by the state,
would be impossible, as the numbering, date,
filling up, and other proofs, on tehir face, of
their illegal character, would at once be de-
teeted. WINSLOW S. PIERCE,

The JAPAN EMPIRE.-rhe New York
Express contains sketch of the inter-
esting Empire of Japan.
1t consists of 66 provinces, of which
she island Of Nlphon contains 90, Kew
shoe 9,Sehoke 5, Yezo / and Sa Ohio l,
The city of Jeddo is in the province of
Mo sa-she. The chart points ont eight
hundred and eight islands, including the
four principle ones, some of which are
rich in mineral productions. In the is
land Sa-dho there are rich gold mines,
but no one is allowed to work them but
the convicts which the government sends
there. They seldom live over three
years; some are never allowed to see the
daylight. They work the mines like a
railroad tunnel under the mountains,
where some have to spend their lifetime
without ever seeing the sun again.
There is an abundance of coal on the
east side of Kew-Shoo, and good har-
Dor for shipping near at hand. The peo-
pie mostly burn charcoal; they are for
bidden to cook with the hard coal on ac-
count of the gas, therefore the mines
are not much attended to. In the island
Ha-jav jo-suc-ma, all the Emperor's clo-
thing is made. He sends vessel there
five times year to bring his rich cargo to
Jeddo. Some of his junks are ornamen-
ted with gold plates on the side, and all
around the bulwarks. The most remar-
kable mountain is Foo-g-san in the prov
incc Sco-roong-ua; it is ten miles high,
and the top is capped with snow nine or
ten months OF the year. In June and
July it is visited by great numbers of
people from Jeddo and different parts of
of the country; the people have great
many songs in praise of it and its tradi-
tions. 1t is regarded sacred, and no fe-
males arc allowed to ascend it,
The present Emperor is about twenty
one years of age; his title is Thin-Raw,
which means Heaven beneath. His pal
ace is in the city of Jeddo. 1t is sur
rounded by strong wall, and outside
the wall is deep canal, full Of water;
his arsenal is close to his palace, built on
a mound, where he retreats in case Of
war, which he is always afraid of. He
keeps strong life-guard around him,
and when he rides out, which is very
seldom, he has ten OR twelve of his min
lsters dressed in the same uniform with
himself, so no person may know him,
he is so much afraid of his own subjects.
When he passes through the city, the
people must kneel down and keep their
faces to the ground until he is out of
sight. They cannot even turn their
heads to look at him. They have to do
the same with all his ministers of state
and public officers. The principal weap-
on of war in Japan is the sword, which
is large and very sharp. A good swords
man is supposed to be able to fend off
ten arrows shot at the same time, and
he is thought to be able to cut muskcl
ball in two if he sees the man who fires
at him. Their use of muskets is as fol-
lows: it has no flint, but goes with a
match which is attached to the stock.
They hold the musket up to the left
shoulder and support it with the left
hand, while they touch it off with the
right.

refused the hand of her daughter to
Benjamin Franklin, because printing was
not profitable trade, and as there were
already three printing houses in the colo

PANTHER KILLED--A gentleman
named Shepherd, says the Stockton
Journal, killed a large panther, this week
on his rancho, about twenty -four miles
from Stockton, on the Moquelumne
river The animal had attacked his pig
pen, killing fine hog, and eating about
half Of 1t. Mr.. Shepherd annointed the
other half with strychnine, and left it on
the same spot. The ensuing night
brought the depredator again to its feast,
and when Mr., Shepherd examined the
scene the next morning, he found huge
she panther and three cubs extended life
less on the ground. The animal was of
an extraordinary size, measuring six feet
from the nose to the root of the tail, and
nine from tip to tip. The sameness be-
tween a she panther and lieness induces
us to question if there has not been some
mistake in calling this animal panther,
for, to our mind, the size is too large.
