RESULTS OF rHB sUeAR Sprou1ArloN.-

RESULTS OF THE SUGAR SPECULATION
The n. Y. Independent estimated recently
that the stock on hand in that market alone
was eighty five thousand tons, beside four
millions gallons Of molasses, and that the loss
at that time was fully three and half mil
lions of dollars. This amount has already
doubled, if not trebled. The Boston Traveller
estimates the loss on sugars throughout Amer
lea and Europe at fifty millions of dollars.
If nobody suffered but the spectators, no.
body would cry-but unfortunately their inn
mense losses have involved men who were not
parties to their transactions.

PANIC MAKISe.-The New York Herald of
yesterday endeavors, in its financial article, to
throw discredit upon the notes Of ali New En-.

doubtless to put fat PROFITS into the tills Of the

mutation Of New England bills there in large
quantities, to draw large sums Of gold from the
New England banks to New York.

The ATLANTIC TEIEGRAPH.-The shares
of the Atlantic Telegraph Company are less
firm. 1t was recently expected that their ca
BILE would be purchased at full price by one of
two companies who are proposing to telegraph
to India. BUTT appears, that, slowed as it
is on board ship, the centre of the coil accu-
mulates an amount of heat which raises its
temperature at least ten degrees above that of
the surface. The gutta percha is thus liable
to become sottened, and in a very warm eli
mate, such as must be encountered in crossing
the tropics, the result would be to force por-
tons of the copper wire to the outside, and
destroy insulation. II is said that even DUR
ing hot Sunday at Gravesend. on the
Thames, about fifty or sixty miles Of the ex-
listing cable were spoiled IN this manner. Any
cable to be sent to India must,i it is considered,
be coled in portions so as to admit OF venti.

GAS FROM PEAT.-On Monday night last the
city Of Portland was lighted by gas from peat OBJ
tanned from Cape Elizabeth. The experiment was
entirely successful, and the light ran clear and
brilliant. Few of the citizens were aware that
the gas was not produced from coal, as usual.
This is the first experiment made on this conti-
nent to light city from gas made from peat,
but in Paris many of the streets have been light
ed with gas made from peat for more than year
past, We copied, some six months ago, from. one
of the Partisan journals, the results of repeated
experiments in the production of gas from this
material, all OF which went to show that it could
be more easily and cheaply obtained than from
coal, that it of superior quality, and entirely
free from those deleterious gases which render
the ordinary gas lights injurious to the health
of inyalids. Nothing could be more beautiful as
light than that produced by the combustion of
gas which we have seen manufactured from the
peat of our own city, upon a small scale,
and it has been a matter of some surprise
TO US that the enterprisng superintendent
of the Worcester Gas Company. who is al
ways up to the times in everything that is calcu-
lated to promote the interests of the company and
the comfort of their customers, has not taken adj
vantage of discoveries which have resulted so ad-
vantageously elsewhere, and lighted our city with
gas from material which is as abundant in Wor-
cester as Goals are in Newcastle, and which can
be had for just about the cost of digging it from
the bogs and meadows. of which there are hun
bred of acres all around u.s.

MASSACHUSETTS AND BosToN.- The trade of
this State alone would give its great CONNER
cial mart a respectable amount Of business
as Massachusetts, in 1856 had an annual pro-
duetion of nearly $500, 700 900. 1t had one
third of the entire cotton manufactures of the
nation nne-sixth of the iron works two
thirds of the fisheries one-sixth of the i'm
ports; one.tenth of the exports one third
of the ocean tonnage; eighty per cent. of the
whale fisheries one fourth of the goldfish
cry three fifths of the mackerel fishery; one
third of the woolen manufactures in TIE
United States. 1t has, exclusive of Boston,
thirteen cities, with valuation of from one
hundred and fifty to two hundred millions !;
twenty-seyen towns of more than five thou
sand people each, and valuation of more
than seventy-fve millions. These few state
ments show what the industry and intelli-
gence of Massachusetts, has accomplished in
producing probably the most prosperous and
wealthy community of its size in the world.
She pays more postage, has more newspapers
and journals than any State of her size. and
collects one fifth of the entire sum raised by
