lowing singular fact is recorded by the Paris cor
respondent of the Journal of Commerce:

ally sanctioned by the Project of Police. 1t is

CHANPAGNE.-"The best brands" made in New
Iork.-At the present time in New York there are
thirteen establishments which manufacture cham
payne. or, in other words convert sti il wines into
sparkling ones, toy no process has yet been discov-
cred for producing an artificial wine which possess
es the flavor and other qualities of the product of
the grape. These manufacturers use for their pur-
pose u light French, and sometimes, if sparkling
is to be produced, a German wine. The wine, af-
ter being prepared by precipitating all substances
which would, when charged with carbonic acid, be
deposited in the bottle is subject to a high pressure
of carbonic acid by machinery, such as is used for
the manufacture of soda water, and after being
well agitated in contact with the gas. is bottled
under pressure with a very ingenious machine.

PHILADELPHIA, July, 3.
The ship Tuscarora, from Liverpool, arrived
here today, with five hundred and thirty Mormon
passengers, bound to Salt Lake.
The great majority of these newly arrived Nor
mons are Welsh and Danes, but there are also
among them Swedes. English aud Scotch. 1t is
curious that there is not a single Irish person among
them. An officer Of the ship with whom we con.
versed informed us that the party were under the
command of an officer, an Englishman, named
Harper, who exercised patriarchal authority over
them. The passengers were moral and correct in
their deportmenttduring the passage. and strict in
the observance of their religious forms. There
were religious services three. times each Sunday
and at given periods during the week. Our inform
ant further stated thatthe passengers we're generally
quite intelligent, and we'll versed in the Scriptures.
The strangers will remain in this city until Mon
day, when they will start for Utah.-PhRadelphia

DEATH IN THE TEA.PoT.-The London Times i
endeayoring to raise an alarm that the Chinese vii
poison their teas, so that hereafter it will be un
safe to drink them. Says the Times:
SIS there anybody so foolish as to suppose tina
the Chinese will not 2oison every box or chest O
tea, preserved ginger, s~wea.meats, ehow-chow
marmalade, or anything else that is exported from
China, for the use of foreigners? We believe hon
estly and truly, that the destruction of human
life in this country and in America from the use o
poisoned tea, will be the most fearful calamity tina
has ever visited the two countries in this century
1t will kill more people in England than were kill
ed in the Crimea. 1t will destroy more human
life in the United States. than our wars, the yellow
fever or the cholera. People continue to drinl
tea and think there is no danger! 1t will be
3 fatal mistake. Wait until the cargoes Of tea, nov
> on their way to Amer lean ports are landed. Thos,
who dream that we shall escape poisoned tea, haC
better preserve tho extracts from the Times. w,
have no doubt that our warning articles about tel
3 will save thousands Of lives in this country. w,
wish all would take warning in time"
