DEEP SouNp1SGs.-It is known that very deep
soundings were made by the North Pacific Expe-
dition. By new contrivance, invented by Lieu
tenant Brooke, the lead was carried down 100
fethoms-nearly 2 miles, and four goose-quills
full of the bottom brought up. Insects of the
EXTREMIST littleness were found in the sand,
which showed that they had been alive until
the enormous pressure under which they had
their being was removed. Many think this to
be discovery, of no special consequence; but
it was precisely by means of such that Lieut..
Maury demonstrated the possibility of laying the
submarine telegraph to England. The delicacy
Of the insects which were drawn up showed
that there was no current across the line of the
telegraphic cable to disturb its position.

The prospects for business from this time for

THE CANALs.-The Superintendent of the ILL
nois and Michigan Canal writes that he expects
if it should rain, that the frost will disappear
10th of April. The new aqueduct on the Illi-
nois and Michigan Canal over the Little Vermil-
lion river, has been completed, and the whole
length of the canal will be ready for business as
soon as freed from ice, which will be in few
days.
The New York and Erie Canal will be opened
on the LIST of May, according to an Albany cor
respondent of the N. Y. Courier and Enquirer,
on the strength of a statement made by one Of
the Canal Commissioners
~ The Grocers Bank at Boston recomm en-
ced business last week under the management of
receivers, and during the first day paid out SIG,
900 for their bills, besides about 5000 on 9TH

taken very important step for the security of

condition of the insurance companies of the State
and report thereon.

street, New York, sold to another, in one lot,
$4,000 shares of Reading R. R. Stock, and 5000
shares of Erie. The entire sale amounted to

vate parties.
eB The Keokuk and Davenport papers are
down on the Bank of Tecumseh, Michigan. In
order to explain this it is necessary to say that
the contractors upon the B. & NJ. R. R. R. have
put this money in circulation to limited amount.
The money is bankable here, and the Bank

Going! Going +! Gone.

March took cold and gusty leave Of us yes
terday, preserving to the last, the stormy and
savage behavior which marked his incoming,
from the violence ofwhich according to the pro-
verb, we had reasonably expected to see him
rrient, and 60 out with uncommon gentleness.-
His thirty-one days reign has been sncezy,
shcczy, coughing time, productive of groups,
an inquiry for hive syrups, and the various ex-
pectorants Furs and ovcrcoats are still in
fashion, and there is no abatement in the price
of fuel.
Those who pretend to be very wise in the cos.
mogony Of the world, suggest that the uncom-
monty cold weather of last winter, protracted as
it seems to be far into the season, has arisen
from the carelessness of Kane, the Attic nayi-
gator, who l.. his discovery of the open polar
sen, has left the Northwest passage open. This
isa suggestion that requires investigation, and
We suggest to the savons at Washington the pro-
priety of an immediate inquiry. Should it prove
true he should be severely reprimanded and
sent back at once to put matters to rights.
Blu, in case this report should turn out to be
only an ingenious way of detracting from DR..
Kauc's Just meritsas a navigator, by envious and
jealous minded persons, investigation must be
directed in some other quarter 1t will then he
well to examine the North pole and see that it is
properly fabricated If it has been creased
with lard oil, it is all explained at once. The
whole machinery has been 'choked down" by
dirt and grease, and the world left "set" with
the (for us) wrong end to the sun. Here is
pretty kettle of fish truly. Our antipodes will
be roasted, fried and boiled while we are pinched
and frozen.
But tits suggested that this "nigger question"
may be mixed up in the matter. "Old Sol may
have been prevented from crossing the 'line"
by the 'Border Rufians" Here is an interest
ing field of inquiry open to the American Anti
Slavery Society, to which they cannot too soon
direct their attention. But in case Atchison
and S,ringfellow prove innocent it will be well
10 lo,,k after Brigham Young. 1t is noticeable
that aim ost all the cold and bleak winds of the
last three n ,onths have come from the West
This may all I've explained thus: Large quantities
ofsnow may have been mixed up with the salt
Of the Great Salt Lake, which, any school boy
knows would produce Intense cold. This branch
Of the investigation we would refer to the editor
ofthe Rainbow at Philadelphia.
