~ The London Times contains long and
somewhat severe, though moderate and concil
iatory editorial upon the burning of Grcytow
The following is an extract:
"The act of Captain Hollins speaks for itself
1t is, indeed, without parallel in any history
with which we are acquainted. for the place was
wholly incapable of firing shot in its own de
fence; not a man was killed or wounded in the
attack, and the enterprise was one of mere de-
struction. The American papers. from which
we have extracted these details. record them
with the strongest expressions of shame and re-
greet and We cannot doubt that the public
opinion of the enlightened classes in the United
States will condemn these proceedings as
strongly as the Judgment of every other part Of
the world. There is in this case no war and
no provoeatioR to account for or to palliate
such measure. Far from being at war with
the States of Central America. the Government
of the United States has always affected to re-
gard them with peculiar interest and the first
proof given of this interest is an act of violence
which would have disgraced buccaneer. In
deed, considering the species of protection es
tablished by the treaty of 1850 and the engage
ments contracted by the United States toward
this country and the whole world for the secur
ity of the passage. this outrage Of Capt. Hol
lins's is contempt of the authority of his OWL
Government and gross breach of faith to eve
ry nation which may have mercantile transac
tions carried on across the Isthmus of Nicara

the following in regard to the Artesian we'll,
at Belcher's sugar refinery in that city:
1.-THE boring is still in progress, and the au-
CUR has at length reached the great depth of
22OO feet. said to be the deepest of any similar
well in the world" The Democrat says:
AT the depth of 600 feet vein of salt wa
ter was struck, and at 1900 feet an immense
vein of sulphur water burst forth, which has
been running ever since its discovery in large
stream from the mouth Of the we'll. The water
is the same as that of Blue Lick Springs in
Kentucky, and possesses purity and freshness
Of taste quite superior to that which reaches US
in barrels and casks. 1t is carried off by large
sewer leading to the river. 1t seems too waste
full that such profuse quantities of this celebra-
ted water should be permitted to flow away,
but the refinery needs the clear unadulterated
element and it must have it and nothing else.
Other medical waters have been discovered we
believe, but they are of little consequence.
DEATH OF DR.. WOoDs.-The death of Rev.
Leonard Woods, of Andover Theological Semi
nary is announced. He was eighty -four years
Of age.
THE DRoUGHr.-It is melancholy indeed
this drought. Every thing suffers, and most
of the crops are beyond the reach of recovery
potatoes, corn late sOwn grain and garden
vegetables. The earth is dry as ashes, and the
air arid and smoky. Extensive fires are rag
ing in the woods in all directions, doing i'm
mense damage to our supplies of timber and
fire wood. What is to be done? Are We to
experience famine? Let us trust to Gods
wisdom and goodness, which are adequate to
every emergency.--.dugusta (vhe) Banner.
PRINTING PAPER.-Paper made from ,co0d. as
substitute for rags, appears to be coming in
to use, with the prospect OF etiectiDg large
saving for newspaper publishers. The Phila-
delpha Ledger and the Providence Journal
are now both printed on such paper. 1t is
firm and smooth. but is deficient in fpeness of
texture and general appearance, compared
with the ordinary kind. The defects, however,
may yet be remedied. Any kind of wood may
be used, though poplar seems to be preferred
The pulp. when prepared, is put upon the CON-
mon paper making machine and is made into
paper by the ordinary process. 1t is supposed
that it may be furnished at one-half the cost
of rag paper.--Journal Of Commerce.
We notice by our exchanges that potatoes
are selling at 50 per bushel in New York city.
