SrUPENDoUs STEAM ENTERpRIsE 1t is
stated that a scheme has been initiated in
Liverpool for the formation of new line Of
steamers from ttat port to Australia, each
vessel to be of ten thousand tons burthen,
guaranteed 70 make the passage in thirty
days, and at n cost of only - 900, 900 each.
The profits OK the scheme are plausibly cal
culated thus-the annual receipts of gold
from Austria amounts 10 100000, 600,
the interest upon that sum for one month
(the time saved in cOnveyance,) would be
81 200, 900, and the draft to the same
amount, having another thirty days to run,
would make total per annum Of $8400,-
900 interest, which, added to S4 200, 900
would yield the sum of $l2 600 900. SO
that in one year 81 oo0 900 more than the
cost of building this splendid feet of new
steamers, suitable for war purposes, would
he realized merely by the saving Of time.
Mr.. Glare, the person who proposes to build
these vessels, states that by the new plan of
construction he can not only insure for them
continuous speed Of twenty miles an hour,
but that they shall De proof against wind,

In Town WITH POCKET FULL OF Rocks.
The New Orleans sharpers have just been
reaping golden harvestifrom the folly of a
drunken Tennessee planter, who in the course
of week in New Orleans, managed to throw
away thousands of dollars.i He paid fifty or
q hundred times the value Of everything he
bought. He gave colorcd barber $50 tor
shaving him, and refused to take any change;
paid half dollar tor q glass of liquor, de-
clined the change, and gave the bar keeper
go additional as a. Tree gift. On the latter
being rejected, the planter crumpled up the
bill, threw it behind tie counter, and walk
ed off in rage. He had all his pockets
stuffed with bank notes Of the denominations
Of hundreds, fifties and twenties, which he
threw away recklessly. If he ran against u
person he dashed handful of bills in his
face. Not satisfied with this, he afterwards
paraded about with a linen bag so full of sill
yer that it bent him down to carry it,
Wherever he had n chance, he paid for drinks,
&C.. with handful OF half dollars. Alter
three days tour of this description, he
packed up aud travelled back to Tennessee,
where be belonged, apparently as burdened
with the "needful" as ever. The N. Orleans
suckers are longing to see the Tennessee plan
ter pass that way again. 7fftEE'
