The Steamship Leviathan was successfully
hoated In the Thames on Sunday, Jan. 81.
Arrangements had been perfected to complete
the launch on the day previous, but the pre-
valence Of a heavy gale rendered a postpone
ment i'm ,~erative, and, as Sunday proved most
asp eious, II was determined b. proceed with
tie operations, rather than encounter the
risks which a further heightened delay would
have entitled. the final floating of the great
ship was effected with perfect ease, and no
accident Of any kind occurred, although the
river was literally covered with boats full Of
people, and the timbers forming the cradles,
which had been kept down by the weight OF
the vessel, sscended with great force some
twenty or thirty feet above the surface Of the
water. The scene was a brilliant one, and
the enthusiasm Of the multitude who witness
ed the launch was manifested by loud and
continued cheering.
TIE Leviathan was towed by four powerful
tug-bosts to her moorings opposite Dep'ford,
where she will remain until her internal ar
engagements are completed.

II is easier to contract the vices CT others

GOLD PRoDUcTIoss FOR Is57.-The pro-
duction Of gold in Australia for the past year
is set down by the best English authorities
at one hundred millions of dollars. The
production in other countries is estimated as
follows; California, sixty-fve millions OF
dollars; Russia and Siberia, twenty millions
of dollars; other parts of the world, fifteen
millions of dollars. Total, one hundred
millions of dollars.
We thus have two hundred millions as the
gold crop of 1858, and the actual amount is
likely to be rather more than the estimated
aggregate. Al this rate, two thousand mil
lions Of gold will be thrown into the moneta-
ry circulation Of the world during the next
ten years.

UNANrMIrY OF JURIEs.-The absurdity OF re
quiring unanimous assent in rendering yer
diets by Jures is exciting much attention in
England. Practically we know that this
matter is regulated by juries occasionally
among themselves, despite the law, by re-
quiring concurrence by two.thirds vote,
or in some such proportion. A London cor
respondent of the National Intelligencer has
the following comment on thissubject:
The law which, in England and Ireland,
REQUIRES the unanimity of jnries is at length
becoming the subject Of forcible comment
from the judicial bench. In case tried
the other day in the Court Of Exchequer
eleven Of the jury were agreed, and the par
ties in the cause objecting to take the vote
of the majority, the Court could not accept
il. The Lord Chief Baron took the opportu-
nifty Of stating that he thought IL must be Ia
mented, considering how often persons must
disagree. that unanimity was required. Con-
sidering the increased intelligence Of the day,
it did seem extraordinary that twelve gentle
men must be kept together till they al agreed,
though they were sworn TO give their verdict
according to their conscience. 1t was much
to be regretted that their verdicts were not
governed by a maiority-not q small MAORI.
ty. for that would not do, but eleven TO
one. ten to two or nine to three. In reference
to the case before him, the old practice Of
locking up juries all night-Or in other
words, Of torturing them into a unanimty
which their conscience could not sanction
had very properly fallen into dsuse and, MS
there was no prospect Of their agreeing after
four hours deliberntion, he would discharge
them.

A MYSTERIOUS CAsE.-Quite an excite
ment is said to exist near Millersburg, Iowa,
in consequence ofthe spiritual revelations OF
a boy, who asserts that Thomas, whose
mysterious disappearance was noticed a year
ago, was shot and then thrown into the well
of one Of the persons arrested about that
time on suspicion of being his murderer, and
that his horse was "backed" down the well
alive and the well filled up. A large number
o! persons congregated about the well on
the Sd ult., to dig down and ascertain the
truth Of the boys story. When they had
dug down about twenty-five feet, a stencil
arose so nauseating that they had to fl up
the well. II was their determination, how
ever, to dig from the side of the well. But
the owner swears he will shoot any one who
makes any further attempts.

REAL ESTATE IN PENNsYLvANA--The
Pennsylvania gives n doleful account Of
the decline in price Of real estate in Phiadel-
phia. Small stores and moderately large
dwelling houses rent readily at fair prices,
and the number of houses for sale and to
rent is larger than it has been for twenty
years. A large amount of property is in the
Sherif's hands, which sells at ruinously low
prices. Building associations have collapsed,
and large quantities of land on the outskirts
of the city, bought by spectators last year,
have reverted TO the original owners.

Hon. JAMES b. CLAY.-It is well known
that John w. Forney was the chief manager
in all that pertained to the canvass in Penn
sylvania in 1856 He was entrusted with
every secret, and had the entire control of all
the financial affairs. James B. Clay was in.
vited to visit Pennsylvania during that can
vass, and, we believe, was guest at Wheat-
land during portion of his sojourn in that
State. Hear what Forncy says of the ''de-
generate SON."
"Mr. Forney, in his Westchester address,
says the Philadelphia Gazette" stated that
Mr.. Buchanan himself prepared portion OF
the speech which James b. Clay delivered on
several occasions in Pennsylvania in the last
Presidential campaign. This places the 'un-
worthy son OF a gaian. sire in II still more
degraded position. 1t was bad enough in
him to oppose his fathers political friends
without becoming the mere mouth-piece OF
his fathers personal enemy, How james
Buchanan must have despised this degene-
rate son. even when he was avniling himself
of his ungracious services Prentice has
said some severe things Of this hopeful poll
tican, but when we take his character fully
into consideration, we must admit that he
has treated him more mildly than he de-
serves"
