WASHINGTON, March 10th.

TELEGRAPH PROM NEWFOUNDLAND TO Ire
LANDING find in the Washington papers an
official document addressed to to the Secreta-
ry of the Navy by Lieut.. Maury, giving the
results of the deep sea soundings effected by
Lieut. BERGMAN from the shores of New
foundland to those of Ireland. These seem
to be decisive Of the question as to the practi-
cability of submarine telegraph across the
Atlantic ocean, i'll that region, the distance
between the nearest points of the two coun-
tries being one Thousand six hundred miles,
and the bottom of the sea being plateau the
whole distance, singularly adapted to the pur-
pose Of holding a line of magnetic telegraph
wire.
The depth of the plateau is quite regular,
gradually increasing from the shores of New
foundland where it is fifteen hundred fathoms,
until it reaches two thousand fathoms when
approaching the other side. This s just suit
ed to the purpose, the depth being such as to
secure the wires against all the perils of ice
bergs, anchors, etc. and yet not too deep to be
useful. More remarkable than this is the fact
that, upon this admirable plateau, "the wa
tiers of the sea appear as quiet and as COM
pletely at rest as they at the bottom of mill
pond p that ''there are no perceptible currents
and abrading agents at work at the bottom Of
the sea upon this Geographic plateau ''conse-
quently telegraph wire once lodged there
there it would remain, as completely beyond
the reach of the accidents Of drift as it would
if buried in air-tight cases. Lieut.. Maury
suggests that a national prize be offered to the
telegraphic company through whose telegraph
ic wire the first Geographic message shall be
passed across the Atlantic. philadelphia U.

GOOD NEWS FROM N. HAMPSHIRE.
THE NEBRASKA BILL CONDEMNED.



The mail and Telegraph, brought the graft
flying intelligence yesterday afternoon, that
New Hampshire will be true to freedom. That
her hardy sons will not aid in the consumma-
ton of the Nebraska plot, even to save Frank
Pierce from the disgrace of failure in the in
famous schemes he has set on foot in conjunc-
ton with Douglas of Illinois.
We hear from several sources that the Dem
ocrats will be in minority i'll the House of
Representatives in New Hampshire The
majority Of the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor will be less than fifteen hundred on the
popular vote, and may fall below five hundred.
The Senate will be a tie or hayea small DEM
ocratic majority. The allies will have ma
jority in the lower branch of the Legislature,
without the aid of hetwelve anti administra-
ton Democrats, claimed by Mr.. Burke's
friends. Letters received from Concord, say
that Democrats there give up the House,
Dover, it is said, has elected opposition repre-
sentatives, with John 2, Hale at the head Of
the list Goffstown has elected Wing repre-
sentatiye-a thing never before known.
By the noon mail, we have slip from the
Statesman office, with the following card:
TO THE PEOPLE OF New HAMPSHIRE.
statesman UDtce, CONCORD IhuFSduy forenoon,
March l6, 1854. We feel authorized to an
nounce that it is the general belief in Concord,
that the SO Democratic majority in the Legis-
lature is overcome, and that there may be
working majority of Wings and Free Sellers
| in the Legislature which convenes on the first
| Wednesday of next June.
1t is matter of absolute certainty, that no
man in whose garments is even the smell Of
favoring the Nebraska bill can be chosen SEN
ator in Congress from New Hampshire by the
Legislature elect That bill and the Letter
of Judge Douglas to Hon. Syrus Barton, are
the chief instruments in producing this aston
ishing result. This city is in tempest of ex-
element. We have no time now to say any
more. MCFARLAND & JENKs.
A despatch from the Statesman Office, yes
terday afternoon, says, that there is Wing
and Free Soil gain of ninety one representa-
tives over last year.
One hundred and ffty-seven Wings and
| Free Sellers are elected, l54 being majority
| of the House.
Bakers majority for Governor, cannot ex-
coed fifteen hundred. Martins majority last
| year was fifteen hundred and two.

Coon News FROM THE FAR WEsr-Rescue
Of a Fugitive Save.-A Geographic despatch
from Milwaukee, Wis, dated March 10th, has
the following account of the rescue of a fugi-
tive slave in that city, which must be crafty
ing to the friends of constitutional liberty
everywhere. We are no advocate of mob law,
/ but must confess, to the qualification we feel
when the slave hunters are foiled in their in
human outrages, by the rising indignation of
the people:
Yesterday fugitive slave was arrested near
this city, and was imprisoned in our jail
Great excitement ensued among our citizens,
resulting in the collection of vast mob, which
broke open the jail, took out the fugitive, and
sent him in wagon towards Canada. The
military were called out, but arrived too late.
The owner of the slave and his assistants were
afterwards arrested on charge of assault and
battery.

Houses WANTED.-The large amount of
business in contemplation the present season,
will create an additional demand for houses
and tenements Of every description. Already
there is much complaint of the scarcity of ac-
commodations, and capitalists, who arc wise,
will do well to meet the wants of the public,
by investing little of their surplus funds in
comfortable houses, upon the broad acres
which many of them possess. Doubtless,
hundreds who will come here to work for the
season, viii become permanent residents, pro-
vided they can find comfortable quarters for
themselves and their families; and who does
not know that every industrious man added
to our population, is a great benefit to the
whole community

WASHINGTON, March 10.
SENATB.-Sevcral remonstrances against the
Nebraska bill, were presented.
The Vernon; Senatorial case was taken up,
and Mr.. Foot addressed the Senate for an hour
in support of Mr.. Phelps's right to the seat
The subject was then postponed, after which
an executive session ensued.
HoUsE.-The House went into committee
on the Deficiency Appropriation Bill, and Mr..
Bridges Of Penn, proceeded to answer at
length, the objections to the Nebraska bill,
Mr.. Brooks of S. c., also spoke in favor of the
bill. The discussion was then resumed on
the Deficiency bill, pending which the Speak
or laid before the House a message from the
President on the Black Warrior affair, trans
hitting report of the Secretary of State,
containing all the information received at the
Department in relation to the seizure.
The President says-I have already taken
measures to present to the government Of Spain
the wanton injury of the Cuban authorities.
in the detention and seizure of the Black
Warrior, and to demand indemnity for the in
jury which has thereby resulted to our citizens
In view Of the position of the Island of Cuba,
its proximity to our coast, the relations which
1t must ever bear to our commercial and other
interests it is in vain to expect that series Of
unfriendly acts, infringing on our commercial
rights, and the adoption OF policy threaten
ing the honor and security of these States, can
long exist with peaceful relations.
In case the measures taken for an amicable
adjustment of our difficulties should unfortu-
nately fail 1 shall not hesitate to use the au-
thority and means which Congress may grant
to ensure the due observance Of our just
rights to obtain redress for injuries received,
and to vindicate the honor of our flag"
The message was referred to the Committee
on Foreign Affairs, and ordered to be printed.
A bill was passed providing for the distribu-
ton Of arms among the States, according to
the number of Representatives in Congress.

an agent for culinary purposes, and, from the
success he has attained thus far, it appears not
at all unlikely that this convenient and eco
nomical article will ere long, be extensively in
troduced, not only for warming apartments,
but for cooking purposes By means of the
apparatus prepared by Mr.. Blake, the break
fast and dinner, for ono Of the largest and most
fashionable boarding houses in the city, was
prepared, yesterday, in the best manner, at an
expense ofonly seventeen cents. In three min
utes and half from the time of lighting the
gas, the oven was hot enough to bake bread,
and consumption of four hours involved the
expense above stated.
