Arrival of the American Schooner Dean
Richmond at Liverpool.
From the European Times, Sept 18th. ]

FROM tho European tunes, sept 1fth.
A great and original experiment has
been successfully realized during the last
few days, which cannot fail to have
considerable influence in expansion Of
the trade between Great Britain and the
far West of America-an experiment
we do not hesitate to say, only inferior
to the introduction of steam as con
Meeting link between Europe and the
New World. This experiment willsave
hereafter the transhipment of grain
grown in the immense districts abutting
on the great American lakes, by which
there willbenot only alarge saving of ex-
pense, but, what is hardly of less impor-
trance, the article will be brought to
the British market in much higher
state of perfection than it has hitherto
been.
The Dean Richmond, a ralish schoo-
ner,- of $50 tons register, is now in the
Liverpool docks; her length is l45 feet,
beam 26 feet, depth of hold II feet
She draws nine and half feet of wa
ter. This clipper schooner has just COM
pleted most successful voyage across
the Atlantic, bringing direct from the
ports Of Chicago and Milwaukee, on
Lage Michigan, without breaking bulk,
400 tons of grain, which she has deliv-
cred from the ships side exactly as she
received it. A direct voyage like this,
which saves transhipment at Buffalo or
New York must, it is clear, pour into
England the produce of the north-wes-
tern States of the Union, by way of the
St. Lawrence, at price which cannot
fail to add to the trade and wealth Of
both countries.
In point of time and cheapness this
new route thus brought into play, will
compete very successfully with the New
York or the Black Sea routes, by both
of which large quantities of grain and
flour reach this country. The Dean Rich-
moRd, we are informed by her owner
has made the entire passage in sixty
days, which includes $500 miles of in
land waters; but she had detention of
twelve days in the St Lawrence, >. hich
is not likely to occur again. The canal
and ship dues are most moderate; while
there are no port, light or pilotage dues
on the inland seas of America.
The number Of hands through which
the goods pass in the interior transit to
New Y ork, for transhipment across the
Atlantic, adds largely to the cost of
freight and commission, and to the man
ifest deterioration of the goods-items
OF expenditure which will be avoided by
the direct course which the Dean Rich
0'ond has traversed, TIL great cont
mercial results which cannot t,il 10 doy
from this novel experiment Have made
the Dean Richmo1d an object Of com
siderable interest in the port OF liver
pool but the time is not distant when
this novelty will cease; for the class OF
vessels which will rush into the trade
are exactly those which can be cheap
" and readily supplied.

that the captain didn't at once make the

ENGINEER KILLED.-Orrin Tracy, an
engineer ON the Illinois Central Rail
road, was killed at the Menomonee
Station. He had run down with some
empty freight cars from Dunleith, and
it is supposed, that in trying to adjust
the switch he fell on the track and was
killed. He was alone at the time of the
accident.

Bob Crandell visited England last
summer. While stopping in the me-
tropolis, he happened to drop into cot
fee house, where lot of cockneys were
talking about the swimming powers of
different individuals. One gentleman
said his friend William could swim five
miles in forty minutes. Another allow

three minutes and seven-eighths. just

Yes, certainly replied they.
On this being decided, Bob opened

A PROPER REPLY.-A respectable
but unfortunate young women was re-
commended to the attention of fash
ionable would be charitable lady, and a
benevolent meeting, of which the grand
lady was president, the subject for their
assistance was introduced.
The lady threw hurried glance at
the applicant, and asked abstractedly:
"Iow many children have you?"
"Three madame"
The president returned to her discus
sion with some fellow members, and for
got the waiting applicant. About a
quarter of an hour after, turning around,
she saw the poor woman, and suddenly
asked:
"Have you many children ma'am:'
MADAME, replied the women, ''some
