Sir .J0hn Ftankim-We have only one 9th
er communication to notice, and that Is OF so
curious a nature that we cannot pass 1t over.
[, is a letter from Tromsoe, dated the lSlh of
September last, stating that the ships from
Spzbersen have brought hom'- great nam
her of reindeer skins with cuts (slits IN their
ears. To account tor this peculiarly, II Is
coniectured that the slirs were made by
Franklin's party who caught the deer TO the
north ofSpllzbergen, anil liberated them thus
marked for the purpose of creating chain OF
communication with parties to the south, We
confess that this explanation appears to us
more ingenious than probabe.-Londom AAe-

OF the thirty-one States of the Union,
eighteen, If we mistake not, have passed
laws against the coming of free negroes
within their respective limits for the pur-
pose Of residence. Two are slave-holding
States, viz: Indiana and Illinois, These
have enacted such laws quite recently,
say within two years. Other free States
would do the same. if they were exposed
to the emigration rs Indiana and Illinois
are. But being remote from Mason and
Dixon's line. and their climate cold; they

FouRrA OF MARcH-Do our readers
generally know the reason why the Fourth
Of March was chosen as the day for the
Inauguration of the President of the Uni.
ted States? 1t was selected because the
fourth of March in every year, commenc.
ing from the first Inauguration, cannot
come on Sunday for at least three hun.
dred years.
This fact shows the great regard which
the trainers of our government had fol
the Sabbath. They arranged the matter
so wisely that the day for the performance
of the ceremonies of Inauguration, will
not fall on Sunday for three hundred
years.-LhrOnoiype.

Central Route to the Pacific.

Mr.. Elisha Riggs, of the firm of Cor.
coran & Riggs, and his young brother
William Henry, and H, Rodgers, Esq,
member of the bar at Washington, and
son of the late Commodore Rodgers, left
this city last night, on board the steamer
Isabel, for Kansas, to join superintendent
Beale in bis new route to California. AS
the Superintendent will have left Kansas
when these gentlemen arrive there, they
will take light carriage, drawn by Six
Mexican mules, and run fifty miles a day
until they oyertake him. This is coura-
geous on the part Of those gentlemen,
and shows their reliance on Supermtend-
ent Beale, with whom they are well ac-
quainted. These gentlemen have no
Government employment, and 60 rs am
ateur travellers tosee the grand features Of
their own country, and 10 form their own
opinions of the practicability of the noblest
work which the mind of man ever con-
ceived. They have seen Europe and
Asia, and mean to see the INSIDE Of theil
own country. Superintendent Beale, Mr.
Harris Heap, and their company, leave
Kansas to-day. Col. Benton, who went
with them to that point, and made
speeches to the people on the sub
ject of the road at Kansas, Westport, and
Independence, returned yesterday, and
reports the spirit Of the country to be
high for the central route. We under.
stand that the Secretary at War, Hon
Jefferson Davis, is organizing the expe'
dition for the central route, and has asso-
ciated with it Mr.. R. II. Kern, who was
one of Fremont's comrades, and with
him in his last disastrous expedition, and
has also authorized linn to employ st.
Taplin, who was also one of FremontS
comrades, and with him when his expe-
dition was buried in the terrible SHOWS ol
the Sierra San Juan This is a compli-
ment to Fremont, to employ two of his
comrades to take up his work where he
was stopped. AS for Fremont himself,
he was detained, we understand, too long
by the writ against him for the debt ol
the United States, in London, to come
home in time to be employed in any oI
the Government expeditions, but he was
collecting fine instruments in London, and
would be at home in time to make a win.
ter expedition, and prove the practicability
of his cherished central route, in winter
as well as in summer-St. Louis Demo.

The OLDEST WOMAN IN THE WoRLD.--
The Charleston Standard thinks that Mrs
SINGLETON, now living in the Williams.
burg district, in that State, is the oldest
woman in the world. She is now in the
one hundred and thirty6rst year of her
age. Her mental faculties are still un.
impaired, and she retains all her senses
except that OF sight, OF which she was de.
prived at the advanced age of ninety. nine,
itappears by an attack ofthe measles. Her
bodily energy exhibits no diminution,
For many years she has been able to walk
briSkly about the room. She has ouilived
all her children, her oldest descendant
living being a grand. daughter, over sixty
years old. The first grand. daughter Of
this granddaughter, il now living, would
be over sixteen years Of age.

H Silver is fast coming from its rest
ing place into the mint. The Philadel-
phia Ledger says there is every indication
that the channels of the retail trade will
soon be abundantly supplied with silver
change. The inquiry is often made,
without eliciting an answer, "what has
become of all the silver?" is now about
to be solved. The banks of this city we
understand, hold over three hundred
thousand dollars Of silver. One bank in
the interior, we are advised, holds about
seven hundred thousand dollars in silver;
and all the banks all over the country,
hold greater orless amount.

some woman, and is IN toleruble preser'
vation, at the age Of hAy. She has been
a grandmother several. years--having

handsome and healthy, at early ages
She was Mistress of the Robes TO Queen

land is nearly twenty years her senior
tall, thin, sileutman, with light hair and
sandy whiskers, and much different from

more, who is dark complexioned and well
looking. as you may Judge by glencing
at print Of Landseer's Hawking Party,
in which the Earl is the prominent male
figure. The Duchess Of Sutherland is
one of the Earl Of Carlisle's sisters. Hc
visited the United States ten or twelve
years ago, when he was Lord Morpeth
II is very odd that he. and all the male
members of his family, should be ex.
tremly plain in features, while The females
have been noted for their beauty. Earl
Carlise's grandfather was poet ard a
playworth. In English Bards and Scotch
Reviewers mention was made of The
paraytic pullings of Carlisle : and, some
years later, Byron (who was his cousin
and ward, and hated hin) wrote severe
epigram, which may not have gone into
print on this side Of the water. Carlisle
on one and the same day, had subscribed
thousand pounds TO some charity, and
published sixpenny pamphlet. Byron
thus commemorated the double evept:--.
"Carlisle subscribes a thousand pound
Out of his rich domains,
And for sixpence circles round
The product of his brains,
'Tis thus the difference you may hit,
Between his money and his wit"

sumo, that it aims TO conform to the views

OF A Rev. Robt. Armstrong being al
Newburg lately, says the Goshen Demo
crat, purchased, among other minerals
what he supposed was topaz, hut which
turned out to be a diamond. That paper
has taken groat pains to get at the real
facts Of the case, and finds them to be
these; Mr.. Armstrong. who has for some
time past devoted much of his leisure
time TO neurological pursuits, purchased
a lot of minerals some time since, Of an
EngIishman, in New York, among which
was the one supposed TO be topaz.
Upon re- examination oil these mener.
ais, a considerable time after their pur.
chase, Mr.. Armstrong was struck with
the close resemblance of this supposed
topaz to the real diamond, and was led tc
subject it to test of its qualities. This
Test confirmed his hopes. and the opinion
of other acquainted with the subject, was
sought and given in favor of the valuable
character Of the gem.
Mr.. A. has been offered $500 900 for
half Of the brilliant. but has declined the
proposition Its weight is two and hall
ounces, and, If real diamond, its value
is more than 100000.
Mr. A. is now taking measures to have
the character Of the mineral put to the
severest scrutiny, and he has little doubt
but that scrutiny will result according to
his wishes. II diamond, it is the lar.
gest known in the world Ii has passed
in disguise through several hsnds. its val,
liable qualities not having been discovered
by the person who originally took it from
the earth, nor by any into whose posses.
ion it subsequently passed, until it tell be.

anu this wealth, we have no doubt, he will
