DOTOMAC LAND FOR SALE.-Ihe un.
dersisned desires TO sell a TRACT OF
LAND, on the Waters OF Potomac Creek, IN
Stafford County, Va, containing Ten Hun
DRED AND TW ENTY ACRES. 1t borders on
the Creek (Which is navisable) q miles, and IS
distant about one mile from the klchmord,
Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad. The
soil is very productive in all the usual gram
crops, but particularly adapted to the growth OF
Tobacco and Grass, though II is OF uneven sur
face.
There is on the land inexhaustible beds OF the
finest she'll Mari. A large quantity OF Hickory
Oak and Pine Wood may be cut from the land,
worth on the shore OF the creek from two TO
four dollars per cord. Also, a good deal OF Ce-
dar and Locust, Yellow Popular and White Oak
Timber.
There isa meadow now yielding an average
of $500 worth of Fay per annum, containing
fourteen Acres OF land, which may be increased
to fifty acres OF prime Meadow. Grass grows
well all over the LAID, which renders 1t Valua-
BILE for grazing purposes. Indeed, 1t grazes an
nually, about fifty head of cattle in the woods.
Altogether it is a very valuable tract, but am
disposed TO sell it below It's value, as own
another large farm adjoining II, and have not d

News BY TIE OABIE.-The following despatch

News BY THE CABLE.-The following despatch
dated Valentia, Ireland, August 25th, received
by the Atlantic Telegraph, was published in the
daily papers on the 9th
By the arrival Of later advices from India and
China at London we have intelligence to trans
NIT
A Treaty of Peace has beeen concluded with
China. England and France are to be indemni-
fed for the expenses attending the war.
Bombay dates to the 10Th of July say that the
mutipy was being rapidly queled and subdued.
The London papers of yesterday Uuesday)
have large and interesting report by Mr.. Bright,
the company's engineer, on the Atlantic Iele-
graph. -
The steamer Asia will leave Liverpool Tor
| New York on Saturday.
/ The following despatch, which left London on
Friday morning last, was published in the after
noon edition of the Baltimore American OF the
same day:
London. Friday Morning, August 27.-The
Emperor Napoleon will return to Paris to-mor-
row.
The King of Prussia is sick aud unable to Wis
! it Queen Victoria.
Her Majesty, the Queen, returns home on
/ Monday next. ~,
The terms of the treaty with China open the
trade of that vast empire to all nations. The
! Christian religion is to be allowed. Foreign di'
plomatic agents are to be admitted, and tull IN
demnity is to be made to England and France
There is no mention of America in the terms OF
the treaty.
| There is nothing important from India to add
to the advices of yesterday.
st. Petersburg, Saturday, August 2l.-Ihe
announcement of the conclusion OF peace with
China gave great satisfaction to the Emperor and
! the whole Court.
The despatch, says the American, not only
brings news direct from London, but places us
practically within six days of st. Petersburg
and within less than twenty days of Alexandria,
Egypt. 1t is worthy OF remark, as suggestive
coincidence, that the first news despatch over
the Atlantic Gable was an announcement OF
peace concluded, whilst the second informs us OF
! the terms of the treaty by which the vast En-
pire of China will be thrown open to the trade
of the world.
No information has yet been given as to the
rate at which messages can be transmitted
through the cable, but the early hour at which
Yesterdays despatch was received proves that
no serious delay is experienced. 1t must be re-,
membered that the despatch was transmitted
not merely across ithe ocean, but had to go, IN
addition to its submarine transit, over nearly
three thousand miles of land telegraph before it
reached this city. The New York Tribune
states that the instruments now in use at Trinity
Bay and Valentia record words at the rate OF
taco per minute, or one hundred and toenty per
hour. improvements will doubtless be made
upon this but at this rate the cable can transmit
more than two thousand eight hundred words
nor day
