We have advices frcm Venezuela dated at

dent of the New York Herald writes that the
AYES Island difficulty had been settled be-
tween the United States minister and the pro-
visional government. Senior Herrera, min-
lister for foreign affairs, expressed at the
same tune the best feeling towards the Uni
ted States Cabinet. An official note, signed
in London by the English government, and
the Duke de Malakot on the part Of Napole-
on, was presented to President Castro, de-
mandipg the instan. delivery OF Monagas,

the Venezuelan government would yield to

Telegraphic Feat,

twill be seen by the dispatches we pu6-
lish this morning that the Queens Message,
was transmitted from Trinity Bay to all the
principal cities Of the Union as Tar South as
New Orleans, AID responses received an
nouneiug the joy With which it had been
welcomed. From Trinity Bay to New Or
leans the distance, By the route Of the telc-
graph wires, is nearly four Thousand miles;
add to this distance from New Orleans back
to New York, and the message and its res.
ponses ia this sin gle direction alone, made a
circuit of six thousand miles. Ii is probable
that the Queens Message was transmitted
last nigh. over some thirty thousand miles of
.elegraphic wire in this country, and that
this morning it will be simultaneously read
By perhaps ten millions Of people. Such
facts as these are demonstrative Of the won
derful facilities Of the telegraph.-Bak. Amer.

The Drought.

1t is customary (says the C!arkevillc T.
bacco PANT to speak OF present ills Of aEy
kind as tho most excessive tnat have ever
been endured. But j: is not to keep up the
custom, that we at present aIiutc to the s!-
f,cjlng drought which now distresses the
country. We believe We speak the truth
when we represent the existing Drought az
the most serious which has been ielt for years.
It is not the length Of the dry season, but the
parchiag nithering heat OF the sun, which
has mainly proven disastrous. No amount
VI rain can row make corn crop. The case
is hopeless one, and our community will
again be forced az in the summer OF 1856 to
resort to the lover Roanoke icr a compliment
Of corn The sbOrtness OF the V beat crop
renders the calamity Il short corn crop
particularly in0yportuue. Add to this that
the tobacco crop is exceedingly unpromts.ug,
and we give Flushing touch &c this dark
picture. Would that g. succession of pros
porous seasons might come to alleviate the
dark aspects Of this sui jeci.

The Fifth Husband Gone.

4 few weeks since we mentioned, as o
singular circumstance, the marriage of q
German widow in the third district, to her
fifth huSband-no one of the previous four
having outlivcd his wedding year. Well,
few days since this fifth husband took the
yellow fever. He died, and on Friday he was
buried. This singular and most charitable
fatality among the husbands Of one lady
would create doubtful talk among that lady's
acquaintances, were she not well known and re-
spected, and the causes of death of her differ.
ent husbands we'll known to their frends.-
As is, it is one Of the most curious instances
of marital fatality we ever heard on. o.
