WASHINGTON ITEMs.-Gov Walker, Secre-
Ftary Stanton and Mr.. Parrot, with all other Free
State Kansas men now in Washington, conf
IDENTIFY expect that the people of Kansas will
vote down the English proposition by an over
whelming majority.
The Union publishes a letter from Gov. Walk
|er to Mr.. Cox, expressing the opinion that Mr.
English's bill should be adopted, because it sub
mits Lecompton practically to a popular vote,
and because Lecompton, s'born in fraud and bap-
TIED in forgery and perjury" will surely be re-
jected by Kansas. In letter, dated Tuesday
last, subsequently, after fuller consideration of
the measure, Gov, Walker expressed himself
strongly against it.
On Saturday night large crowd collected be-
fore the Presidents house, where be was sere-
naded by the firing of cannon and music by the
Marine Band. He appeared at the window and
returned thanks for the honor, saying that the
best interests of the country were involved in
the contest which has SO happily been ended
and he hoped and believed that the passage of
the Kansas bill would tend to promote the peace
and prosperity of the Union. Senators Toombs
and Gwin, and Messrs. Clay, Letcher, and Ste
vensen of the House also spoke at the window,
the former regarding the result as a pacifcation
in which there has been no dishonor anywhere.
Senators Bigler, Green, and Brown, Represen-
tatives, j. Clancy JONES' and English were Sc
renaded at their residences and made speeches
of exultation over the passage of the Kansas BILL
regarding it as measure of peace, not only for
Kansas, but the whole country; a measure Of
union for the States, and union for the Demo-
cratic party, and as putting an end to the ques-
ton of Slavery which has so long distracted the
country

The TRIAL OF DR.. BERNARD, the French re-
fugee, for completely in the Orsini plot has been
proceeding at the Central Criminal Court, Lon
don. Upon the verdict, probably, will depend
the immediate tone of the new French Ambas-
sador, the Duke of Malakotf, who has arrived in
England with great promp.
Mr. James, the counsel for the prisoner, has
put in the following objections First, that the
prisoner was not within the jurisdiction of the
court according to the 9th George Ill, chap. l,
sec. 7, the act under which the present special
commission was empowered to sit. Second, that
the prisoner was not according to the above sta
tute, an accessory before the crime of murder.
Third, that it had not been proved that any
murders" whatever had been committed with
f'abtHeeh, f6af tie murders charged against the
prisoner were proved to have been committed
by agents upon the persons of aliens in the king
dom OF France, and not upon the lands or seas
or within the dominions of her Majesty the
Queen, and that they were not committed by or
upon any of her Majesty's subjects.
Fifth, that there has been no evidence of any
acts done by the prisoner out of the dominions
of her Majesty, Or upon the lands or seas of this
realm, and that any acts done by any other per-
sons without any authority from him are not
properly receivable as evidence upon this trial.
Sixth, That the principal offence of murder
charged in the first count of the Indictment is
not alleged to have been committed by any of
her Majesty's subjects. Seventh, That the let
ter which had been dated 1st January, 1857.
should not be received in evidence against the
prisoner. Eighth, That the special commission
under which the court was sitting had only the
authority to try the prisoner as principal for the
crime of murder, and not as accessory. Ninth.
That the 4th and 5th counts, which charged
the prisoner as principal with the alleged Of
fences as contemplated, are not valid, and that
the prisoner cannot be tried on them.
Lord Campbell said the judges had already
decided the seventh point, but should verdict
of conviction be returned they would take the
opinion of the fifteen judges in the Court of
Criminal Appeal before passing sentence.
LATER.-By late arrival we learn that the
jury in the case of DR.. Bernard, charged as an
accessory to the murders committed by Orsini
and others, returned a verdict of not guilty.
The result was received with great cheering in
Court and out, and greeted with general salts
faction throughout the country. Bernard was
discharged on bail.

WHAT Is GOLD LAcE.-Gold lace is not gold
lace. It does not deserve this title, for the gold
is applied as a surface to silver. It is not even
silver lace, for the silver is applied to founda-
ton of silk. The silken threads for making this
material are wound round with gold wire, so
thickly as to conceal the silk: and the max
ing of this gold wire is one of the most singular
mechanical operations imaginable In the first
place, the refiner prepares solid rod of silver,
about an inch in thickness he heats this rod, APP
plies upon the surface coating of gold leaf,
Furnishes this down, applies another coating,
Furnishes this down, and so on, until the gold is
about one-hundredth part the thickness of the
silver. Then the rod subjected to train of pro-
ceses which brings it down to the state of fine
wire, it is passed through holes in steel plate.
lessening step by step in diameter. The gold
never deserts the silver, but adheres closely to
it, and shares all its mutations; it is one-6un-
dredth part the thickness of the silver at the be-
ginning, and it maintains the same ratio to the
end. As to the thinness to which the gold coat
ed rod of silver can be brought the limit depends
on the delicacy of human skill but the most re-
markable example ever known was brought for
ward by DR.. Wollaston. This was an example
Of solid gold wire. without any silver. He
procured a small rod of silver, bored hole
through it from end to end and inserted in this
hole the smallest gold wire he could procure !:
he subjected the silver to the usual wire-draw-
ing process, until he had brought it to the finest
attainable state -being, il fact, silver wire as
fine as a hair, with a gold wire in its centre
To isolate this gold wire he subjected it to warm
nitrous acid, by which the silver was dissolved
leaving gold wire ne-thirty-thousandth of an
inch in thickness erhapss the tilnHest round
wire that the hand Of man has yet produced. =
But this wire through beyond all comparison

HIN R1}GeaL r--c1d All the rest OF the nsn
in the ocean put together They penetrate to
the Polar sea, inaccessible on many accounts to
voracious fish, and there breed and multiply be-
yond the computation of man. It was suppos-
ed by Pennant that if two herrings were allowed
to live and increase in their characteristic style
and the lives of their offspring spared for TWEEN
ty-ive years their bodies united would exceed
the bulk of the world ten times. An army of
them, equaling in extent Italy, France. and
Spain, leave the regions of the Pole in the spring
Early in June they surround the Shetland is
lands; next Scotland, Ireland, and England; they
then cross the Atlantic to the coast of Georgia:
from thence they move east, and line the entire
sea coast of North America, more than three
thousand miles in extent, and what is most re-
markable, they always keep the same distance
from the sun, and never rest, and are always
compelled to remain near the surface of the sea-
as their air-bladder is too fully developed, and
their fins too broad to permit them to sink deep.
We can scarcely concealed our amazement at
the number Of these fish, when we take into
consideration the thousand of millions that are
yearly taken throughout the world by fisher
men, the tens of thousand of millions DESTROYED
by whales and other marine monsters, that fol-
low them night and day throughout all their
yet, notwithstanding the untiring
activity of these numerous destructive causes.
every ensuing year finds the abundance undi-
minished and perfectly inexhaustible, defying
the combined arts of men and the irrepressible
voracity Of all the ocean tribes. -:.s

US on Saturday, could have been published

had it chosen to do so! Not carefully SUM-
presses the intelligence, doubtless because it
shows how Democratic bad faith, since the

likely to postpone to an indefinite period our
coming into the Union. Is it ashamed Of
its party's proceedings, or afraid to let the
people see the facts !?
