It is settled that we are to have six new
steam frigates, costing half million of dol
lars each. The bill has been signed and is
now law. The ground on which their con-
struction was urged in congress was Z" to
protect our commerce during the coming
European war; There would be some plausi-
bility in this if the war was going to wait
five or six years, which will be about the time
il will take to build them. The war is begun
already, and will probably be finished long
before they are.-[O. S. Journal.

CocH1ruArE BANK OF BosroN.-

CocHlTUArE BANK OF BosToN.--A dis
patch received from Boston yesterday, re-
ports that this Bank has failed. The Cochi-
tuate Bank was chartered about four years
ago, with capital of $25O,00 1t never
stood very high in public esteem, and last
winter when most of the Boston banks had
their capital increased by the Legislature
this one was refused an increase, and the
Directors thought it prudent to withdraw
their application.
The failure of this bank cannot effect the
safety of the other banks of that city.-[Cin.

The following extract from letter recent
ly received from an American merchant,
now in Stockholm, contains important facts
in relation to the effect of the anticipated
war on European emigration:
During my travels I have been
obliged as you are aware, to visit Norway
and Sweden, for the purchase of Iron |
was utterly astonished at the feeling created
by the apprehension of a general war in
Europe; for, although in such an event
there is no robability of its extending to
these countries, general panic seems to
have taken possession of the inhabitants
SO much so, that farmers are selling out their
lands at ruinous sacrifices, with view to
emigrate to the United States. l have
known of farms, worth in reality, three OF
four thousand dollars, sold as low as seven
or eight hundred, and had it not been for the
ties of kindred and associations at home,
should almost have been tempted to remain
here, and speculate in farms rather than in
iron.

fall of snow on Sunday the 18th of April,
1854, will be long remembered At this
point but little fell. but at Pittsburgh it was

AT HIM AGAIN.-Some time ago it was
mentioned that man named Hoffman was
severely beaten and manned, in St. Lonis
by man named Baker, who accused the
former of insulting his wife, but the affair
did not end there, for the parties met by
chance in the streets Of st. Louis, when
Mrs. Baker drew out revolver and pre-
sented it. He ran into J. G. Simpsons
store, exclaiming "Save me !" ran around
the counter and endeavored to soop behind
it. Mrs. Baker, before he could secure his re-
treat, leaning over the counter, placed the
pistol at his back, and fired twice, only
one, it is reported taking effect
Mrs. Baker made no effort to escape after
firing the shots, but sat down and called for
glass of water, with very determined
look. Her husband shortly appeared, when
his wife and himself left in company of some
city Marshals for the Jail, where Mrs. B.
was locked up.
Agentleman inquired of her before leaving
the store, if Hoffman had offered her any
new insult, and she replied that he had
not and that the reason of her shooting him
was that he had caused her to be brought
before the public and disgraced.
The wound of Hoffman was very severe,
and it was supposed would prove mortal.

A MYSTERY ON THE SEA.--Capt. Haskell,
of the ship Independence, at Valparaiso,
of November, lat. Is deg. DO min. S., lon.
III deg. Is min. w., he saw araft with two
decayed bodies on it. The raft was made
of spars from a vessel, and there were yards
and beams and eight water casks. 1t was
well secured in every way, having mast but
no sail; small piece of white cloth was
tied up for a signal on the mast; then there
was brass pinnacle and compass, tin
pump, trunk, half barrel dried fish. and some
empty barrels. What tale of hardship
and suffering is probably associated with
that RATA tale which will only be known
when The sea gives up its dead.
