ATMosPHERIC TELEGRAPH FOR TRANSPORTING
PAcKAGEs.--A special committee of the United
States Senate, which has had the matter Under
consideration, has made 4 report IN favor OF grant
ING an appropriation to test the feasibility OF Rich
ardsons proposed atmospheric telegraph. The
committee have seen the model tested and unhesi-
tatingly give it as their opinion that the mails
which now consume II hours in passing between
New York and Washington, may be carried be-
tween those cities in two hours by the proposed at
mospherc telegraph, and at cost so diminished
that the Department might send SIX sets OF mails
where it now sends one without increasing Its ex-
penses. A line is forthwith to be constructed be-
tween Washington and Baltimore.

force American authors have learned TO lean or

their own country, and the emotions of their own

ANEcDoTE OF JAMES SEYMoUR.-The Duke
of Somerset "a Seymour commonly called the
proud Duke, employed Seymour the painter, to
paint portrait of his horses at Petworth One
day at dinner the duke filled his glass, and saying
with sneer, "CousR Seymour, your health,
drank it off ''My Lord,'' said the artist, g be-
lieve Ihare the honor of being related TO your
grace" The proud peer rose from the table and
ordered his steward to dismiss the presumptuous
painter and employ an humber brother of the
brush. This was accordingly done; but when the
new painter saw the spirited works of his prede-
cessor, he shook his head, and retiring said, No
man in England can compete with James Sey-
mour." The Duke now condescended to. recall
his discarded cousin. My Lord" was the an
swer of Seymour, al will now prove to the world
that am of your blood;-I tconr come" Upon
receiving this laconic reply, the Duke sent his
steward 10 demand former loan of ElOO. Sey-
mour briefly replied that he would write to his
Grace - he did Sc, but directed his letter North
umberland, opposite the Trunk-makers, CharIng
Cross" Enraged at this additional insult the
Duke threw the letter into the fire without opening
it, and Immediately ordered his steward to have
him arrested But Seymour struck with an oPpor-
tunity of evasion, careessy observed, that 1t was
hasty in his Grace to burn his letter. because II
contained bank note of s100, and that therefore
they were now quits.

EASTERN AFFAIRs.-Ihe news by the A.
raba indicates that the war will lie of long
duration. Whilst Russia is active in hcr
prepara tons for the contest and is evidently
concentrating all her energies for a trcmcn-
dolls blow when she strikes, there is yet that
cautious and systematic policy eyinced by
her movements which might lie source of
70 little alarm to the Allied Powers We
find her still negotiating with Prussia and
Austria and with some prospect of success:
and though the course to be pursued by the
former would seem to be favorable to an alli-
ance with the Western Powers, vet almost
every day devclopcs additional evidence of Il
prediction for the Gar, and disposition to
side with him against Turkey. AS for Aus
tria, her whole history one of deceit and
regeneration: whatever may be the calcua-
tons her position will be doubtful through
the whole contest 1t would be a matter Of
no surprise for her to declare for one side in
the beginning of the war, and wheel into the
opposite rank at the close. But be this as it
may, the fight will not be over in day. Rus.
STA, with her almost endless rcsourccs-with
her vast armies and the great advantages of
her peculiar position, has it in her power to
prolong the conflict almost Indefinitely. What
wiil a hundred thousand English and French
avail against million of disciplined and har-
dy Russians nous rerrons. In the mean
time who can tell what mighty changes will
take place ere peace shall again be declared
Their is an overruling Providence, we know,
that never fails to givea direction to the de,-
TIMES of nations, when unsettled and confu-
scd by the crude shock of war;" These
great events are not left to the management of
short sighted man, or war would meyer fail to
be a curse in its romotcas well as immediate
results. And therefore though the prospects
at present seem fraught with nothing but
mischief and ruin for all, it may be that We
are on the eve of events that will be to the
world as glorious as they arc startling.
