By u calculation made by an official hand
it appears that no less than fourteen deaths,
since the LIST Of January, have arisen from
burnings occasioned by the wide-spreading Of
the crinoline into the fire, drawn thither by
the draught from the chimney. Wood fires
which are laid low upon the hearth are the
mos; dangerous, and the flame from them
rises in 80 instant. We insert this as a
warning to our fair countrywomen.--LondOn

Senator ~IversOn, of Georgia, just previous
to the passage Of the Kansas Bill, in the
Senate, desired to express his repugnance to
the amendment affirming the right of the
people of Kansas to alter their Constitution.
He would have voted against its adoption If
he had not disliked to record his name in
company with Black Republican Senators.
He had, therefore, refused to vote ut all upon
the proposition, which he learned had been
adopted in Democratic caucus when be was
absent. lie should vote, however, for the
bill in its present shape, though hc was free
to confess that his interest in its passage had
greatly abated since the prouunciamento Of
Mr.. Calhoun, declaring that be should issue
certificates to q majority Of free State men in
the Legislature Of Kansas. lie regarded
this as 40 act of usurpation on the part of
Calhoun, who had no right to 90 behind the
face Of the returns on loose allegations OF
fraud. lie regretted 10 say that this unau-
thorized step had been taken by Calhoun at
the advice of Southern men. Its effect was
to render this bill q barren victory for the
South, as no one could doubt that the aboll-
~tionists of Kansas would soon make that
State too hot q place for the residence Of any
decent Southern man.

C. Williams, who was last fall dispatched by
the Patent Office to make explorations IN
Western Arkansas, part of the Indian terri
tory, and Northern Texas, for the purpose OF
obtaining information respecting the grape
vines of that region, and making collections
oe the same, has returned, and brought with
him cuttings of numerous varieties OF the ma
tive grape there found. The region he tray
ersed extends from @ little east OF Fort Smith
on the Arkansas, to the Lower Cross linn
bers, in Texas, and includes a considerable
portion of the Choctaw Nation. Eight hun
dred miles of this he traversed on foot, ex'
aiming and collecting. The cuttings and
vines be has brought with him to Washing
ton have been placed by the Patent Once In
proper hands there for roofing out, with Il
view to their future distribution In such a
way as will be most likely to ensure their
propagation. OF the principal varieties OF
these granes the Washita, o white grape, is
deemed the most excellent"

Senator Douglas delivered his closing
speech in the Kansas debate to one of the
largest and most imposing audiences ever
assembled inside the walls of the Senate
The rotunda and lobbies were crammed, and
the Vice President issued orders that no SEN
ator should be called out, on account Of the
difficulty of egress. Mr.. Douglas on enter
ing tine chamber was received with loud and
enthusiastic applause, which he deprecated by
shaking his head and making gestures to
stop. There was not one foot of room In the
galleries and the reporters were ovcrrun.-
All the seats on the door were occupied, and
the windows near the roof were filled. The
spectators galleries were nearly all filled by
ladies, most of whom remained over recess
at four o'clock, and continued through the
whole sitting until half-past eleven. On mo.
ton Of Mr. Gwin the ladies were admitted TO
the floor, and in q few minutes it was crowd
ed with them. Mr.. d. closed with an apology
for the desultory manner of bis remarks, as
his physical strength was weak and he with
difficulty could speak. If he had said any
thing that appeared disrespectful or unkind
he regretted it. The last few sentences were
quite inaudible. Mr.. Douglas speech was
not equal to his former efforts, aud disap-
pointed ever his new friends.

that, should it become a law, and should its

Interesting dispatches have been received
at the Navy Department, from Capt. Forrest
who has command ofthe lagshipS St. Lawrence
on the coast Of Brazil, dated Montevideo, Jan
uary %, 1858. lie says:-"For some time
previous to my arrival here a portion Of the
people Of this country, disconnected with the
administration Of government by the present
President took up arms and advanced 10 tue
very suburbs Of the capital. Fearing thelr
entrance, and believing that they would not
have force effec,ually to resist them, the gov
eminent here addressed q communication 10
the different foreign agents having afmeu
forces 10 the harbor, stating their lnaoiiity
to protect the lives and property Of foreign
ers, and requesting them to land a force to
protect such interests. This landing, at a
meeting of foreign agents was determined
upon, and | was requested to take the re-
sponsibilitY of commanding them, being the
officer highest in rank then on the station.
AS stated in my manifesto, the sole object
of landing was to protect foreign interests,
and strict neutrality will be preserved. A
portion of the marine guard of the st. Law
renee is still on shore at the Custom House.
The city is barricaded; but as yet no decisive
action between the contending forces has ia
ken place. Gen. Dias, at the head Of fifteen
hundred men commands the Opposing force,
and is said to be only a short distance
from the city. A force from the city has been
sent out against him. The Falmouth will join
