ssBURLTNGAME AND BRoOKs.--It appears that
the difficulty between these two notorious
gentlemen is not considered as settled vet, by
those who know their present relations and
feelings. 1t is said Brooks feels much bitter
ness, and he has threatened dire revenge at
this session for the implement before the rid
icule and contempt of the world, which Bur-
lingame forced him to make of himself at the
last. Some apprehend an attempted assassin
alton, or a brutal, cowardly assault, like that
on Sumner. But more likely, the South Car
olins hero will content himself with some
coarse insult of expression or expectoration
For either or all. Mr.. Burlingame is prepared
by cool and sensible purposes. lie will resent
=. insult without being forced to challenge any
body to duel. And if base and brutal force
is brought against him, he will repel it in a
ready and manly way. This is a subject over
(which there is much speculation and gossip.
Brooks feels goaded by his former disgrace. to
some effort to throw his opponent into a like
position.

idly coming into general use. The Coal Oil
Company are preparing to produce 1t in large
quantities. 1t is made as clear and limpd as
the finest lard oil and is entirely free from
many of the Objectionable qualities of whale
oil. A mistaken impression appears to pre-
vail that lamp of peculiar construction is re-
