gineer; Alexander Grant, fireman; and G. w.
Dawson, passenger, of the Central America,
having been rescued by the British brig Mary,
from Csrdenas for Queenstown, and transferred
to the Bremen.
Mr.. Tice states, that after the Central Amer.

The Mammoth Steamship Great Eastern.
This nautical leviathan is represented as rap
idly approaching completion. She is to be
launched in October, and will make her first
trip in February. The London Necs of Sept.
9Th says:
"The hull is entire, its double machinery
in and fitted, the bulwarks are partly up, and
the internal fittings in such forward state
as to show the launch is near at hand, and
that, if necessary, the Great Eastern could be
ready to make her first voyage by Christmas
next. Nearly 500 men are employed on her
daily, and though, when spread about her
acres of upper and lower decks, they seem but
few, they are in reality quite enough for the

The South and the Tract Society.
The Southern papers are not content with
the course of the American Tract Society, in
ignoring the relation of master and slave, and
even the existence of Slavery, and in expurga-
ting from its publications the writings Of even
Southern men upon the subject that everybody
talks about, that all the papers write about,
that all the people think about. The fact is,
the Southern people know that such abect sub.

but they will not trust the men who perform it ;
they despise the subserviency which they com.

1t gives MS much qualification to learn that
this institution opens with the largest entering

is going on well so far as the internal instruc.

Herald that the shipments of produce from
New York to Earope on Wednesday, prin.
cipally bresdstuffs, were valued at Sl97, $50.
Ii cluded in the shipments were $32, 900 worth
of cotton, $4,000 of sugar and SIG, 900 Of crude
turpentine. A similar shipment, valued at
about $50, 900, was made at Philadelphia on

while from Baltimore, Richmond, and Charles.
toa, shipments of breadstuffs are also being
made to some extent. Among the. charter
