Execution Of Gen. Moran.

a correspondent OF the Ne" 1orAs Jour
nal of Commerce, who writes from Callao,
under date of 10th of December, gives the
follow ing account Of the execution Of Gen.
Moran. The defeated commander of the
Government troops -.
''The house where Moran had ensconced
himself was surrounded by an Infatuated
populace, who dragged him forth, conduct
ed him to the city degraded him, and shot
him in the public square, thus sending him
before his Maker, covered with his crimes,
which were numerous, without giving him
time for repentance This must have been
a horrible +sight-an Infatuated populace
reeking in blood, leading out to execution a
defender Of the national independence. He
begged hard for his life; set forth his SER
vices in the great struggle for independence,
his J eing one of the conquerors in the celc-
brated and decisive battles of Junin and
Ayachuco which ended the war with the
mother country; his having been a resident
of this city for thirty years, where his wife
and two daughters then lived; and finally
offered 100000 to the citizens. All his
overtures were rejected; the anxious inter
cession of Mr. Elias and the project Of that
department were disregarded, and they We're
threatened with the awful effects of the
public vengeance if they attempted to pre-
vent tbeexecution, which was consummated,
after which tie citizens retired to their
homes in perfect order

SPLENDID CLIPPER PAssA6Es.-The clipper
ship Red Jacket, it will be remembered, performs
the voyage from Liverpool to Melbourne in the un-
exsmpled time of 81 days 10 hours. She reached
Melbourne on the 18th of July, and left again for
Europe on the 4th of August
By the arrival of the steamer Niagara at Boston,
we learn that she off the port of Liverpool on
the l4th of October, so she must have made her
return trip in III days-still shorter than the best
time ever made by any other ship.
She made the whole voyage out and back in FIVE
months and ten days. The Red jacket was built
in Maine, although she now belongs to an English
firm.
The new American clipper Ocean Chief made
another remarkable passage from Liverpool to
Melbourne. She was but IS days from the mersey
to Melbourne, which place she reached on the 9TH
of August. Her best days run was 800 miles.
Still another splendid passage was made by the
American clipper Nightingale, in 70 days from
New York to Melbourne, which last place she
reached on the 4th of August.
The clipper ship Lightning, Capt Forbes, from
MeIbourn, 62 days, was spoken off Cape Clear On
the % ult at IL A. NJ, and would probably reach
Liverpool the next day. If so, her passage
will be eight days shorter than ever made by
any other vessel before.
Our clipper ships are gaining even greater tri-
umphs in the Australian trade than they have ac
quired in that of California, brilliant, as some of
their performances have been.-S. F. Herald.

Transatlantic Telegraph, New Route Ncces-
sary.


The Commercial Advertiser last evening devot=
ed column to exposition of the advantages to be
anticipated from transatlantic line of telegraph
between the American and the Irish coasts, and as
that the practcability of such a work is full
ly established by DR.. Lardner and Lieut.. Maury.
Such work was deemed practicable few months
SINCE and company was organized 10 carry it in-
to operation They had progressed as far as to lay
down portion of the line across Prince Edwards
Isle, and sent agents to Europe to purchase sub
marine cable, when it was found that it was im-
possible to construct battery that would serve a
line of more than five or SIX hundred miles in
length.
We not advised what the precise difficulty
was, but il was nsurmountable; hence the-nego-
tatons of Mr.. Schafner, agent of the company,
for right of way 10 lay wires from the coast of
Norway, by the way of the Farce Islands and Ice
land, to the coast of Labrador, by which they es-
cape the necessity of using any cables of more
than five hundred miles of uninterrupted length.
This will greatly increase the length of the ca
bic and the cost of constructing It, but presume
that circumstance will not discourage the COM
pany from prosecuting enterprise, the impor-
tance of which, in its consequence, cannot be

The LARGEST LUMP YEr.-The Stockton Argus
states that there is at the Banking House of
Messrs Adams & Co. in that city, lump of
quartz gold weighing loo ID pounds. The lucky
and equally mysterious finders Of this great treas
ure were engaged at the time our attention was
called to it in casing 1t for shipment to New York
All that we could learn was, that it was taken out
about fifteen feet below the surface IN Calaveras
county. We should Judge that the lump contains
at least eighty per cent of pure gold, which, at
SI7 per o., amounts to the snug little sum OF go,
262. Il was found by a company OF five men, one
of whom states that they have larger lump still.
they refused to give names OF the locality from
which the gold Is taken. One Of the party IS a
Frenchman.

How Much SUGAR DO We EAT last year
there were consumed in this country about 705 600
600 pounds of cane sugar, and $4,000 900 pounds
of maple sugar. This gives more than "a lbs. of
cane sugar, and one pound of maple sugar to every
man. woman and child. This does not include
molasses or honey. If this sugar were put into
barrels holding 200 pounds, and each barrel occu-
pied the space of three square feet only, it would
require 1876 acres of land for it to stand upon. The
barrels if aced in row, reach 22O miles. lfthis
sugar was put up in paper packages of FIVE pounds
each, it would require 146 100000 sheets of wrap
ping paper; and if only yard of string was used
to each package; there would be required $4,000
OOG feet or $1,000 miles of strins-more than
three times enough to go round the earth. If eve
nv reta clerk sold hundred pounds OF sugar each
dav it would require nearly 5000 clerks to sell It
ali the year. If the dealers, wholesale and retail
together, made profit of only two cents
pound on this sugar, these profits alone would a
mount to nearly SIS 900, ,OOO.-Westcrn Chr. Adv.

First and Highest Flight.

how he felt during his recent balloon ascen.
sion. lie Travelled some 175 miles, rose to
the great height of $4,000 feet, and landed in
the top of tres, IS feet from the ground.
OF his highest flight he says:
Durirg my ascent l felt some iuconven-
fence from the cold and put on my overcoat.
Il was now 26 minutes past 4 O'Clock mer-
curry Indicated 8 deg. above zero; still as
cend,ng u, the rate Of 1000 feet per minute.
was now q, 4l6 feet from the earth; the
balloon was now fully distended, and the hy-
drogen nearly escaping at the lower orifce :
Ifelt cracking sensation in my ears my
eyes panied me, and felt general fullness
or enlargement of the system; respiration
was not natural, but not very difficult.
felt dizziness come over me, and when
looked at my watch again, 25 minutes had
elapsed; l was eak and nearly helpless;
my balloon was fast discharging hydrogen !;
with difficulty threw over some bits of pa
per; | looked for my themometer-every
thing seemed misplaced; at last found il;
my fingers we're numh with cold, and could
hardly hold the thermometer; the indication
was 5 deg. below q ro; epened the escape
valve 10 reach a warmer citrate, but held it
open 100 lang; found was descending too
fast took up some ballast to throw over
board, and found the Bugs Of sand frozen
harl; broke them across my knee. and
threw the pieces overheard, one at a time !;
now felt less of the fuilness of my system,
but my eyes re still sore. could now see
akron, Ravrnna, Hudson, Cleveland, VIII
loughby, Charden, gainesville, and much Of
the country around, as the clouds had now
cleared. The water Of the lake had dark
blue appearance, but the water 10 the river.
ponds and canal had bright silvery hue.
The cracking in my ears had ceased, and l
felt no Inconvenience from the cold; the
mercury STOOD at SO degrees above zero.
