HARBoR or 0LYMPA.- During the past
week, four vessels have been lying atanchor
in the harbor of Olympia. Three of them
belong to the Kendall Co.'S" line, viz:
the clipper barks Lire Yankee, and Samuel
Merritt, the bark Scroh Warren, and the
Schooner Rcb Roy, McLAXE, master. The
first three named were freighted with mer-
chandisc for the different ports on the
Sound, and will clear with lumber, timber,
&C., for San Francisco, and perhaps some
foreign ports. This is the first time for the
last year that four merchant vessels of large
dimensions have been anchored in our har-
Dor at one time, and would seemto augur
that revival in business is at hand.
The bark " Carib," NEWELL, master, or.
rived at Port Madison last week, and is
now loading with cargo Of lumber for the
San Francisco market.
The bark "Ork," TRAsK, master, arrived
at Steilacoom, last week, with merchandise
also to load with lumber.
The brig "McrcAdnfm0n," PRAY, mas.
ter, was to have sailed from San Francisco
on the 25th inst, for Puget Sound.

A New Car Brake.

We observe that new car brake has been
invented, and is styled "Wakefield's Self-Aot-
ing Car Brake" As all these inventions are
designed as lite protectives we give an account
Of this one which is to be subjected TO q thor
ough test ia few days. A wrought iron shoe
is attached to the bottom of the car or truck
frame, by movable joint, which shoe is ap.
piled to, or raised from, the upper surface of
the rail by a toggle joint, which toggle joints
are operated by suitable connections with rods
or bars, extending through the length of the
cars, and also through the tender frame, and
by means of levers upon the tenders brought
under the control of the Engineer in such a
manner that the action of the cars against the
tender shall become the means of straghten
enng the toggle joint, and applying the fric-
ton of the shoe to the surface of the rail- there
by retarding the motion of the train and brak-
ing up the cars. Whenever the speed of the
engine is lesseDed, the momentum of the cars
pressing against the prqj citing arm from the
tender, puts into action lever, sliding upon
its bearings aud connecting through the whole
train, whereby the toggle joints are strength
ened, and the shoes made to press upon the
rail; as soon as the pressure is removed, the
toggles are caused to recoil and the shoes are
lifted from the rail. When necessary To back
the train it is easily effected by means of a
lever upon the tender, entirely under the con
troll of the Engineer, the sliding or projecting
bar upon and under the tender is thrown back.
thereby removing all connection through u e
train aud the hunters meet rs in an ordinary
train; upon again starting the train the lever j.
thrown out, aud the connection is iustan;anes
Ously renewed.
This brake may be attached 20 car, and
operated by hand, as by the ordinary hand
brake now in use. The estimated cost Of this
brake is about $75 per car.

Meditations in Westminster Abbey.

Yester-eve | stood in that venerable Abbey
at Westminster, which tells the tale of so much
of England's history, from the day of Edward
the ContessOr 10 the present hour. There lay
strewed around my feet, in terrible protusion,
the real jewels and pure gold Of Britain :
greatness-the sacred ashes of those worthless
who, when in life, with stout hearts, with
brave hands, with toing thought, by their la
bors aud their Ii, es inspired the nation aud led
the vanguard of Fame. There they all lay IN
dusty death. There were the men 10 were

uchral silence lay the tongues that Ind utter
ed hard -songht truths which echoed from their
hps to the worlds end; there the busy brains
and vigorous intellects that fired by genius H.
lumiued their age, and breathed burning words
like oracle---hrir country their allar-its
people their corgregated auditory, there the
poets HIT a Z elm ID Lnguage, and klndled
into song thoughts that leap towards heaven,
as they came down from thence; there the he
roes that faced trial aud danger, and in their
energy aud victorious abogs made Eugllsh
hearts their lasting aud their mob est nonu-
ments: there the Champions of eternal truth,
who have in cody courage and devoted zeal
been the shields of our trust and the guardians
of our iaitl: and when | look upward upon
nm d q Das0or rolled their echoing strains
down those long and dusky aisles, while yonng
voices blending with the notes, chunted those
warning words, 10 remember, how short my
time is," and | thought, that could that great
array of sheeted and of shrouded mortality
have walked from their silent graves, and
stalked forth in long procession through those
vaulted aisles, the voices of the dead, AS they
swept past me, would, in ghostly accents, have
taken up those warning words, "Remember
how short thy time is" aud, if thou wouldst

We have already given the particulars OF the
melancholy suicide of Lizzie Howard, who
jumped from one of the Brooklyu ferry boats
on Sunday morning last; and the subsequent
recovery of her body We find the following
particulars of her painful history in the Her
aid:
Lizzie Howard, for such was the name she
was known by, came to this ciry from Roxbury,
Massachusetts,, some three years since. She
was then Is years of age, with blue eyes and
light hair, and otherwise o most attractive
girl. Soon after her arrival, she formed the
acquaintance of young man who betrayed
and, as is usual 10 such cases, deserted her
She then became the inmate of a house OF
questionable repute in Mercer street, where
she formed the acquaintance of young man
attached to a certain restaurant in Broadway
that is much frequented by fashionable people,
and for him she conceived an ardent attach
ment. She then removed TO house IN Greene
street. where she was surrounded With every
| luxury that could be provided BY woman
| that led the life she did. At this time her
lover was faithful, but latterly he displayed
| disposition TO cut her acquaintance, and The
women of the house say she experienced the
most intense anguish at his coldness.
On Saturday night last the parties met acct
dentally At Perachio's ball, where she accosted
! him and wished him to dance with her, a. she
wished 10 communicate something of impor-
lance to both, but he refused her opportunities
with rudeness. Wounded at his conduct, she
| left the ball room and retired to her home; she
lay down for while, but shortly after arose,
dressed herself, and left the house. This was
at two O'Clock on Sunday morning. She was
| ii
| CORTLAND street, but not noticing him, she
continued her way TO South ferry, and went
on one of the boats II was cold, chilly
night; there was no moon. and when the boat
was half way across, the unfortunate girl threw
herself without a cry from the stern, and was
soon buried under the heavy tide that was
running at the time. The two passengers on
the boat little knew of the tragedy that had
! been enacted, but the girl was missed by them
on the Brooklyn side, and the alarm given 10
her friends through the Herald. Her body
was recovered on Tuesday, and idedtfed by
her female companions.
A photograph was found on her person of
the young man whom she had loved so well,
but so unwisely. On Thursday her remains
were conveyed to Greenwood, where she was
inferred, with the picture of her false lover
placed upon her breast. The scene at the grave
was painfully impressive. The landlady of the
house, her female companions, a clergyman, the
undertaken and his wife, were al that were
present. After the reading of the Episcopal
burial service by the clergyman, one of Lzzie's
female companions read Hoods touching poem
The Bridge of Sighs," amid the tears and
sObs of all present, after which the funeral
cortege returned to the city. This is one Of
many similar stories that might he told of life
in the great metropolis.-N T. Mirror.

The Election.

The latest intelligence puts the success
Of the Democratic ticket, beyond all per-
adventure. 1t has received the vote of
fourteen Southern States, in all III /;
and Of Pennsylvania, Indiana, and New
Jersey in the North, in all 47-making a
total of l59, which is 10 more than was
sufficient to its success. California will not
be heard from for several weeks. 1t has
probably voted the Republican ticket, as
have the remainder of the Northern States,
with the exception of those mentioned
above. We shall not be surprised, howev-
er, if further returns give some of them to
Mr.. Buchanan. For details Of the general
result, we refer our readers to the telegrs-
phic column, and of this State to our table.

IMPORTANT DISooyERY-THE DETECTION OF
MuRDER.-A series Of experiments have recently
been made, says the Chicago Democratic Press,
by DR.. Pollock, ali occulst Of Chicago. to test the
truth of article published some time since by
celebrated ply sci4n in England, which alleged
that the last scene viewed by dying man would
remain impressed upon the retina as does the i'm
preston upon dsguerreotype plate. 10 each eX-
pertinent that Dr. Z has made, he has found that
an examination OF the retna Of an eye with mi
croscope reveals wonderful as well as beautiful
sight, and that in almost every instance there was
a clear distinct, and marked impression. We put
these facts upon record in the hope Of awaking an
interest in the subject that others may be induced
to enter upon these interesting experiments, and
the cause of science advanced.
The recent examination of the eye Of J. II.
Beardsley, who murdered in Auburn, con-
Quoted by DR.. Sanford, Corresponds with those
made elsewhere. The following is the published
account Of the examinations:
"At first we suggested the saturstiOn of the eye
in a weak solution Of atrophine, which evidently
produced an enlarged state of the pupil. On obs
serving this We touched the end of the optic nerve
with the extract, when the eye instantly became
protuberant. We now applied a powerful lens, and
discovered in the pupil the rude worn away figure
of man, with light coat, beside whom was a
round stone, standing suspended in the air, with
a small handle stuck il were in the earth. The
remainder was debris, evidently lost from the de-
structon of the Optic aud its separation from the
mother brain. Had We performed this operation
when the eve entire in the socket, with all its
powerful connection with the brain, there is not the
least doubt but that we should nave detected the
last idea and Impression made on the mind and
eye OF the unfortunate man. Toe thing would eY
identity be entr, and perhaps we should have had
the contour or, better It'll, the exact figure OF the
murderer. The last impression before death ID al
WAYS terrible on the brain from fear than any
other cause; and figures impressed on the pupil
more distinct, which we attribute TO the largeuess
OF the optic nerve and its free communication with
the hrai

essary that the question should be fairly stated and
We think that it would be singular anomaly in
the history OF banking for bank TO suspend cash
payments with eight or nine millions sterling of
specie in it's vaults. That the difficulties which
threatened the Bank are formidable, must be sd
mitted, and that financial crash would also in.
Volve the Government in its consequences; but
whatever phase they may assume, Is is evident
that some restriction must be placed upon that
fpirit Of speculative enterprise which, not
checked by decided hand, may endanger even the
stability OF NspoeOn's throne.
