What GQzZling.

II is supposed that the quantity Of coffee
dralk in the United St,tes annually,
will fill basin as large as tha: which
we use fof canal boats. According to
the tables of the Treasury Department,
the amount Of coffee imported into tho
United States, for single year footel
up one hundred and forty.four millions
of pounds; the cost Of which was over
eleven millions Of dollars. According
10 the Scientific American, no country
in the world consumes so much coffee
in proportion to its inhabitants, as ours
Thus, last year, the average amount of
coffee consumed by each man, woman
and child. was over seven pounds. The
consumption Of coffee has also greatly
Increased in England, and it does not
appear that the fears Of the old English
matrons, about their sons becoming
monkeys by it's use, are yet realized.
When we reflect upon the great quantity
Of coffee now consumed by us every
year, how that the consumption has in.
creased from ::littlc over four millions
Of pounds, in l790, to over one huncred
and forty.four millions Of pounds in
1850, we cannot shut our eyes to the
seeming necessity Of growing coffee (ol
ourselves. Our Southern States c,u
surely raise good coffee; they beat the
world for cotton and rice, both Of which
we're introduced from foreign countries
and coffee, we think, cen be successful
Nv cultivated as these have bccn.

q. s. Minister'S Address to the
Su1fan.

On presenting his credentials to the
Sultan the new American Minister
said:
"Although the religious and political
institutions Of our two countries are
differant, they yet have in some respects
followed the same policy. In each o
them the spirit Of progress exercises a
benignant influence, the republicans ol
OF the United Safes dcparting from tho
ancient political doctrines which con.
tinue even now in many countries to
paralyze the physical and intellectual
energies OF man; and your Majesty adop.
ting those reforms which most promise
to contribute to the prosperity and well
fare Of the Ottoman Empire. The two
nations have given an asylum 10 the
political exiles Of other counties, and
even in the time Of the illustrious ances.
tors Of your Majesty, the Christians
have often found under the crescent tina,
protection which had been denieI them
under the cross. Thanks to the mag
ma nanimous conduct ofyour Majesty, the
Jealous exles of liberty in more recent
times have found on these shores safe
asylum and digni6ed tranquility. In
the great struggle in which your Ma testy
is engaged, you have the sympathy and
the good wishes Of the whole American
Nation. While the policy followed by
our Government inpedcs all national
intervention in European questions, il
can never prevent US, as people, from
demanding Of Heaven that tho arm, be
it Mussulman or Christian, which hold:
the sword in just cause, be strong.
May your Majesty be successful in pre-
serving the integrity Of an Empire which
has often given refuge to the exilcd
sons Of liberty Of other countries. Thi.
is the universal desire Of the people o
the United States"

Destructive Fire.
PITTsBuRo, March 81

iITSbUhoS MuTCu ~.
A very destructive fire occurred yes,er.
day afternoon in Birmingham. oppasite
this city.-It originated 10 the packing
house Of lhmsen's Glass Works. Ia
consequence Of the scarcity Of water
and the strong wind which was blowing
at the time, the ere ragged until six o'clock
and was only arrested by the pulling
down Of several houses.
Between Grosvernor and Mckee
streets. about forty buildings are destroy
ed. The burning shingles were carried
by the wind to Bradford, street, between
which and Dewman street some six,,
buildings were destroyed, including
dwellings ard stores. In all. about one
hundred buildings are destroyed, and
some two hundred families turned into
The streets.
1t is impossible to estimate the loss
but is supposed by gone to reach 5000,
900. Others, however, estimate it O
only $50. 900. About one.third is cover
ed by insurance. lhmsen's loss j.
$4,000. probably insured. Among n.
buildings destroyed is Gregg's lead fac
tory and saw.mill.

there shall be no embracing, or because
we may no, use the gentle words, my

arrival Of Old'Sam:
"Gen. Sam Houston, U. S. Senator
from Texas, passed over the mountain
on his way homewa,d. to visit sick
wife, on Friday last. He attracted con
siderable attention wherever he was
known. and was cheered at various
points along the railroad. He is fine
portly man, with a face 'unshaven, un.
shorn,' and wears very white hat, and
red blanket around his shoulders
Houston's Senatorial career so far, by
the way. has been very creditable, and
greatly added TO his hold on the popular
affections and sdmiration.> His noble
opposition to the Nebraska iniquity, and
hisla.e manly defense Of the right Of pc
tition. and tho political privileges and
rights Of ministers Of tho Gospel, will
sill further add to his popularity"
