From Europe.

We have again later news by the steamship
Persia, off Cape Race. The Atlantic TeIe-
graph Fleet took its departure under sail from
Plymouth, on Thursday, the 10Th inst. We do
not learn that Capt. Judkns passed the fleet
near enough to speak with any of the vessels,
but the weather was understood to have been
favorable for the business of submergine the ca
bic. The fleet expects to reach mid-ocean on
the goth inst, and we shall probably hear Of
the arrival of the Niagara at Trinity Bay on or
about the goth inst. The Liverpool cotton
market was reported dull. Breadsiufis are
without Improvement

NARROW ESCAPE "A young man named Ellis,
from Philadelphia, son of the contractor, in
erecting a warehouse at Smyrna Depot, on
Saturday last fell from scaffolding twenty
three feet high, to the ground, bruising himself
considerably, but fortunately breaking no bones.
Uader the care of DIR. Hirons, he is doing well.

CHILDREN's JuBILEE-It is proposed (and the
proposition meets, we understand, with general
approval,) to unite all the Schools in town
the Sunday Schools of the various churches,
district schools, select schools, &c,-in one
body, and proceed to an adjacent grove, attend
ed by the parents, teachers and friends of edu-
cation in general, to spend the day as their va
rious inclinations may lead them. Addresses
appropriate to the occasion will be delivered.
Such a union as this in one scene of festivity,
certainly must be as delightful in its results as
it is generous and fraternal in its conception
1t will take place Immediately before the sum.
mer vacation, abou: the first of August.
The idea, we believe, originated in the
Teachers Institute, where, on Saturday last,
a committee of conference, consisting of DR..
J. E. CaWson, J. Pennewell and J. B. Cooper,
was appointed.

From UTAH.-We have some further advi
ces from Utah, the general tenor of which is
satisfactory. Several Of the Mormon elders
have surrendered themselves for trial by the
federal authorities, while some additional de-
tachments from the "Church" have come in to
Camp Scott, asking for protection and some
thing to eat. Of Capt. Marcy's safety there
would seem to be now but little reasonable
doubt.

HAY-MAKIEo.-The farmers of this vicinity,
in the midst OF the hay harvest, are highly
favored with fair weather--a most desirable re-
quisite. The quantity of clover and timothy
hay grown this year in Kent county, doubtless
exceeds that Of any previous year.

APRIL 29.--Tbe full-dress ball costumes
for the spring entertainments are composed
of very light materials, such as gauzes, tuiies,
grapes, &c, Two very full skirts. sometimes
pof7ed all over, are supported by an under
ne.ticoat of silk. On others the FIRST skirt is
trimmed with wide bouillonne studded with
small bows Of pink ribbon; the second skirt
is covered with founce of rich lace. Walk
ing dresses for the spring are all made with.
out bssques, the waist forming six points
Brspdenbourgs, tassels, fringes, lace, and
velvets are tbs decorations 10 vogue. For
young persons sbe following is pretty trim
ming: the decoration is ruche OF rooon,
about three fingers wide, surmouoted by two
or three rows Of velvet placed round the SKIRT
. little below the waist. Silk dresses are
trimmed, when made with two skirts, with
rich frinoes or galloous. of the same color as
the robe, on the upper skirt. Last year the
tr innings were almost invariably placed
enquilles, or bands Of velvet, or passementerie
arranged perpsndicularly; now they are more
frequently placed round the skirt. Tho
same color as the dress is preferred. Some
times plain skirts are worn, tut they are
then made very full. and of exceedingly rich
materials. One very deep f1unce, profustly
trimmed with ruohes or bands Of velvet, is
also 10 favor.
We have an immense variety of spring
and summer wrappings; the close fitting
jacket 10 still worn, but the Burnous unante-
let, styled the Magician, is the greatest novel
~. This mantle is large Burnous, with
out lining, trimmed with ruches Of silk, or
velvet bands, or galloons. The black silk
point, double or single, when trimmed with
q deep lace founce, forms very elegant
shawl. We have also the mantelet tullpe.
and the mantelet amedaillons.
The shape of the bonnet is decidedly the
Marie Stuart styls-comiug very far forward
on the head, and bent down towards the
forehead; the sides stand of from the cheeks;
the sides of the crown are profusely trimmed,
and the curtains are much smaller than those
worn during the winter Tulle and Grape
are the materials employed, often mix ed with
velvet, OF with fancy straw. Straw and
taffstas also form pretty mixture. A ca
pote may be fashioned of tule pulled, sui
rounded with bias piece of white silk and
three others of plaid--the last ending in a
fat bow at the side. A white blonde is
placed around the edge, and flowers insidei
the strings are wide, and have plaid bias
piece sewed around the edges.
Psrasols are small, and are composed Of
rich satin or silk, woven expressly for the
purpose. They are generally without firing

HISTORY OF KEYS.

A paper was lately read before the British
Association of Scienceon the history Of Keys.
The author pointed out strip of bark or
thong Of leather as the first means by which
property was secured, prior to the advanced
stage OF civilization, when permanent houses
we're constructed. and the door and the cot-
fer fastened With bolts, latcbes, aud bars
Homer was cited as the earliest writer
who mentions anything like key. and
special reference was made to the prlni-
tive looks and keys of wood Of the sncisr,
and modern Egyptians. The iron keys Of
Egypt we're described and illustrated by ex'
smples from Thebes; and the curious fact
pointed out that nearly similar specimens
are met with in Western Africa. Alter a
brief notice Of Greek keys, attention was d.
rected to the Roman era, and a minute de-
soriptiou was given Of the fixed aud movable
locks, the dentated, pipsd, and branched
key, and of the variously formed bows sur
mounting the stem. Mention was made OF
the small keys attached to 6nger rings, and
of the false or skeleton key Of the Roman
house-bresksr. The Anglo Saxon and Nor
man keys were then d~elt upon, and the
various forms aud fashions Of the key-bows,
from the thirteen century down to a later
period, were described

The TELEGRAPH AND ITS EFFECTS on Con-
XERcE.-It is curious to note the effect upon
the public mind and the public press OF the
mystic mesbes Of the telegraph which Ell
circles the United States. The general char
scteristic Of electrical communication is con-
ciseness. We receive news in scraps and
fragments, condensed to the very quintes-
seucs of the idea sought to be conveyed
The appetite thus supplied with the choicest
morsels Of novelty. grows fsstidious, and
ceases to care for the wholesome but coarse
aliment of ordinary life. The cream OF eve
~ novelty 10 quickly absorbed. digested, and
almost forgotten; subsequently,, when the
slower process of the mails furnish the de-
tails, unless in exceptional cases, where
curiosity unsated calls for full particulars,
they are listlessly perused, or carelessly
overlooked as unworthy q moments atten'
ton. Thus, the telegraph. amidst a thou
sand advantages, is tainted with one bad de-
feet. 1t vastly diminishes il not completely
