The BAPTIST MISSIONARY UNION, lately in

thousand delegates. Amongst the commu-
nications presented from the Executive
Committee was a correspondence between
the American Minister and King of Prussia
in regard 20 the prosecutions 10 which The
Baptsts of Germany had been Subjected
The King had exhibited the kindest spirit,
and declared that, if the Baptiss woulG ef-
feet an ecclesiastical organization on which
could be recognized BY the Government, all
causes of complaint would cease. The
Board recommend that it shall be by the ap

a,n.xr,n STEAMERS.

We published on Friday among our i'e'"'
~ foreirn news. an announcement 'hat
contract had been made in England Tor the
construction of a mammoth steamer oil up
ward of six hundred feet in length, and |
measuring 10000 luns. The idea of a mon
s,er ship like this is not original with john
Bull. MIR. Burden, OF Troy, in this State,
man of wealth aud a mechanic Of original
genius, some years ago suggested the con-
struciion Of a steamer 700 feet in length, and
of corresponding depth and width, 10 run 10
Europe. Mr.. Burdens idea was that it is
practicable TO construct a steamer which
would go across the Atlantic with as little
motion as our Brooklyn ferry steamers run
to onr sister city. He proposed tnat his
steamer should draw seventy.ive feet of wa
ter, and her top be an hundred feet above
the water line. The maxium height of the
waves of the ocean from the bottom of The
sea trough TO the crest of the waves is esii-
mated not to exceed thirty-6ve feet hence
MIR. Burden concluded ,ha, vessel of sew
enty-ive feet draught would always run on
nearly even keel There are but few
ports where such vessel could enter. On
our coast, Newport offers The greatest facii.
ties of a good harbor, with ease of access
and abundance Of water, and here Mr. Bur-
den proposed 10 establisd the headquarters
of his ship. No steps were taken TO carry
out the majestic idea of our countryman, aud
it is now broached on the other side Of the
Atlantic, and measures are taken TO secure
its realization. The proposed British ship i.
TO be propelled by two SETS of de.wheel,
and screw at the stern, having, we pre-
sumo, three independent engines aud sets
machinery. The experiment Of running
steamer of such gigantic proportions will b,
watched with intense interest, and, If sue
cessful, will mark new era in navigation
If such moving world can be securely an,
rapidly propelled over the ocean with lit
or no more motion than is experienced b.

INDUSTRIAL AND AGRICULTURAL EXHIBI-
TIoN AT PARIS

The Washington Union of the 25lh ult.,
says:
We learn that The French government has
communicated 10 the American minister al
that court decree of the Emperor, ordering
universal exhibition of agricultural and
manufacturing productions to take place at
Paris on the 1st of May, 1856 With the
decree has also been communicated 10 the
American minister, for the information of
the government Of the United States a full!
assurance that the French government will
afford TO foreign exhibitors all desirable
facilities, both relating 10 cnstom house
regulations, and also for the reception and
supervision of ARTICLES sent from abroad to
the proposed exhibition. This assurance is
given in the hope that the government Of The
United States will favor the participation of
It's citizens in the exhibition, and encourage
any desire they may entertain 10 avail them
selves of lis advantages. The American
minister is also informed that in due time a
further decree will be communicated, deter.

The CALoRIC SHIp.--A note from Capt
Ericsson, TO the editors of New York COM
mercial Advertiser, says:
have much pleasure in assuring you that
nothing whatever has occurred in working
the machinery indicating lhe difficulty lha,
can prevent the successful realization of this
important enterprise. The only difficulty we
have met with is that Of the cylinder bot
toms or heaters having proved too elastic and
yielding TO remain airtisht, or 10 admit of full
pressure being carried Ga the return Of The
ship liom the South two months ago, it was
deemed advisable 10 replace these heaters
which are made of boiler plate, by others o
cast iron, as that material admits Of being
made of any required thickness Only one
foundry having been found willing 10 under
take the casting of these requiring from siS
10 eight months for the completion, we have
been compelled 10 adopt different plan; one
however, that will insure increased power
and speed. As the modification which thai
involves calls for work OF great magnitude
our friends will have 10 exercise some little
patience

THE NEW COIN.

The people who have for some time past
laborcd under difficulties for want ofchange,
will rejoice that The new coin will soon be
put into circulation. The banks, generally,
are sending their silver to The mint TO be
recoined.
The Bank of Northumberland, some DAYS
since, sent of a large lot of silver TO the
mint for that purpose. There are few
banks in the country that have a greater
amount of the precious metals in their
vaults, in proportion TO their circulation,
than this bank. A few weeks since, the
specie in lis vaults amounted 10 over Thirty
one thousand dollars. OF this amount
about ten thousand dollars was in gold.
In the reconage OF this silver, the bank
will make gain of nearly four per cent, oi
about eight hundred dollars on the whols
amount. The new quarters do not dilfel
much from those previously issued, eX
cepting in the rays that surround the eagle
in the new coin. They are of the sam,
purity, but fraction lighter; twenty fv,
new quarters being about equivalent Il
twenty. ioul of the old coin, in weight
This difference will prevent The exporta
tion Of our coin, as merchandise, TO foreig,
countries, and the banks will pay il out a
freely as gold, which was not the cas-
while silver bore premium.

Shamokin has always been considered the |
Pousville Of this coal basin, and, when the
day Of its new life comes, will increase very
rapidly, aud assume it's true position among
interior towns. Situated at the gap Of the
boundary mountain Of the coal region, like
Pottsvile, il must command q large coal
trade from one side OF the mountain, and
large produce and lumber trade from the
valleys and forests of the Susquehanna on
the other. It's vicinity, OIL the one hand, to
mines of the best coal for manufacturing
iron, and on the other, TO the celebrated
poriant point for the manufacture Of iron in
all its various forms and shapes Indeed a
point in the vicinity of which coal, iron ore
and limestone are found in such quantities,
must be more desirable location for the
manufacturing, al low prices, of spades,
shovels, axes, and all the variety Of iron arti-
cles, than distant town in New England, 10
which the raw material must be carried at
heavy expense, and again transported back
at additional cost, 10 the places of lis con.
sumption. The situation Of Shamokin is
high and healthy, being some 700 feet above
the level of the ocean.
The other two important points in this
coal basin, that are destined TO become flour
ishing towns, are Mount Carmel, noticed in
my first letter, and Treverlon, both Of which
are beautifully situated, aud begin TO feel the
revving influences of the progressing i'm
proyemenls. The ancient town of Sun6ury
is overcoming the slumber Of ages, and be-
gins TO realize the important destiny which
the natural advantages Of its location, deyel-
opcd and made available by the public i'm.
provemets, must secure for il. This OLD
town occupies one of the most charming
sights on the beautiful Susquehanua-sur
rounded by scenery, SO lovely and transport
ing, that no human eye can behold il, from
an eligible point Of observation, without in

~ The Philadelphia papers announce
that the Camden g. Amboy Railroad Com
pany have introduced, upon their road,
several cars Of new and superior construc-
ton, with self acting brakes and other i'm
provements. The old cars, we always
thought among the bes; we ever travelled
in. The road itself, is certainly one of the
smoothest and most substantial in the coun-
try and lis Management is in excellent
hands. Mr. Gaizmer, the agent at Phia-
drlphia; is, in himself, an evidence Of this
fact. Before many months The people, in
the valley Of the Susqnebanna, will be able
to travel from this place 10 Philadelphia in
six hours, and to New York in ten, either
by the Philadelphia and Sunbury road, by
way of Pottsyile and Reading, or by the
Sudbury and Harrisburg road, by way Of
Lancaster.
