HE BRITISH STEAM MARINE.-One of orr
contemporaries says that at this moment there
are no less than three hundred steam prOzeI-
terS, ranging from one thousand to fifteen
hundred tons, building on the Clyde and in
ports OF Great Britain. The steam engine
builders were never more busy than at the
present time, and we learn that Napier, the
celebrated steam engine builder, has more
work engaged than can be executed by him
Tor three years to come. This statement cor
responds with a remark which we heard a
few days ago from an engineer on the Clvde
who recently arrived in this country. The
iron works of England and Scotland were fully
occupied in constructing steam propellers for
foreign and domestic service, and Napier was
taking contracts three years in advance
Side wheel steamers were spoken of as likely
to be wholly superseded-no vessels of that
description being constructed. Meanwhile,
our ship-yards are deserted, and scarcely a
single ship Of any size is building in the
United States. England, without doubt, is
playing high game, and is determined to
win. 1t has already been shown that two.

EXTRAORDINARY BEE AIYBS.-I inmates
OF one OF our largest up town mansion houses,
a Jew days since were surprised to find large
number of bees flying about in two of the up
per rooms. As the little fellows continued TO
occupy the places, bee naturalist was sent
for to investigate the matter. On entering
one the rooms he exclaimed, " You have hon.
ey somewhere here" aud proceeded to search
for it. On removing the fire board, he dis
covered that one flue of the chimney was full
of honey comb, which was hanging down in
to the fireplace, and the honey dropping from
IT. Proceeding to the top of the house to
sound the chimney, he found the Aue full Of
the comb to the top, and the bees still at work.
In the other room he found it the same-one
nue. OF the chimney was full, and the bees
Were lndustriously al work there, also.
The hues OF the chimney had never been
used; they were plastered moothinside. and
were perfectly dark, stone having been
placed upon the top of each fue The bees
had descended the adjoining Aues and found
small holes about ten inches from the ton of
the chimney, leading into the closed fues,
and through these holes they had made their
way in and out. They have, as is supposed
occupied these places for three years, having
been kept warm in the Winter by the heat
from the adjoining fues.
On removing the fire. board, the bees, seek
ing the great light which had broken in upon
them, descended to the room and gathered on
the windows until they were covered to the
thickness of three inches. 1t is estimated that
there are in tia two hues from 40, 900 to so,
600 bees and from two to three thousand
pounds ofhoney. Portland Advertiser.

Is A NBeRo CITIZEN s-This question is
being argued before Judge Mclean, who
is holding term of the United States Circuit
Court, at Chicago. Joseph c. MITCHELL a
negro residing at Galena, Ill, sues Charles
Il. Lamar, Of Wisconsin, for damages COM
mitted upon his person in a brutal assault.
The plea of the defence is that Mitchell,
being negro, is not citizen of the United
States, and cannot therefore bring suit
before United States court. Much interest
is felt to see whether Judge Mclean will
adopt as settled law the extraordinary opin-
ions of the majority of the Supreme Court
judges, and thus place more than four mill-
ions of the population of the country beyond
the protection of law.

This plan, says the Boston Journal, preserves
the county lines more nearly, probably, than any
other which could be framed. But it is open to
the objection, which is incident, however, to any
plan that respects the existing divisions by coun-
ties, Of making the ratio to elect Senator in
different counties unequal Thus there is diff
ference Of more; than one thousand between the
ratio in Norfolk. and in Hampshire and Frank
lin. The difference between the average of the
county which has the highest ratio, and the av-
ersge for the whole State (5292) is, however,
much smaller, being only 532 votes.
Under this plan, it is understood the commit

CAUSE OF THE AURORA BoREALIs.-M de la
Rive, the celebrated Geneyan natural philos.
opher, is the author of a long memoir on the
aurora borealis, in which he attempts TO ac.
count for that phenomenon in very simple,
and certainly not unphilosophical way. The
distinguished author holds that what is term
ed the aurora borealis is owing to electrical
discharges taking place in the polar regions,
between the terrestrial globe and the atmos-
phere, by means of icy particles suspended in
it there, while the charge takes place in the
equatorial regions by the direct or the indi-
rect action of the sun. These electrical dis
chargeo taking place constantly, but with va.
rying intensity, according to the state of the
atmosphere the aurora borealis must be a
daily phenomenon, although with differing
intenseness; its visibility extends consequent
ly to varying distances, and depends also on
the transparency Of tho atmosphere during
the night.
