&c, in a pertinent speech after which, he
proposed the following toast
Our Countrymen-Frankln, Morse and Field.
The first, like Prometheus, drew the fire from
Heaven aud scattered it in the earth; the Sec
ond, moulding this fire into thoughts that brea be
and words that burn, prophesed the LAYING of

the old world aud the new--n bonds of en-.
during unity.
DEEP SEA SoUNDINGs-SOme persons are
surprised at a statement that the water upon
the telegraph plateau between Trinity Bay nd
Valentia Bay is from two to three miles in its
deepest parts, having been told that there it is
comparatively shallow. A comparison of deep
SOundings will show that the idea oi it's shall
IOwness Is correct, when measured by the al
most incredible ulysses to which the p.ummct
has been sent. Lieut. Bergman, in 1854
made sounding in the Atlantic ocean 10000
feet in Cepth, equal to little over n miles; /;
and Capt. Denham, Of the British Navy. has
obtained sonndings at the vast depth Of is 23G

he says, " Mr.. Kern stood first in the affections
ct the trading politicians. and that fact secured
his nomination." The democrats nominated
Gdr. Berrell, thinking him " some pumpkins"
tut Forney turns up his nose at him also. in
perfect disgust, aud at once, cuts his acquain-
tance.
SUGAR In ILLINoIs.-Some of the Illinois
farmers agree in saying thar the Ouantitv of
sugar raised in that State this wear. from the
sorghum cane, will exceed in amount, inclu.
ding OF course the mOlasses made in the same
process, that of any other one product or article
OF export grown or manufd ctured in the State
we are inclined, says the Cincinnati Times, to
think this an exaggerated statement, but there
can be no doubt that the amount is really very
considerable, and that sugar NAV hereafter he
regarded as one OF the staple productions. not
o1ly OF Illinois, but OF most of the northwestern
States.
HARD TINES IN New COMMISSIONING to
the creVasse overlows, and sickness among the
market gardeners, there is an unparalleled
scarcity of vegetables in the New Orleans mar
Refs. For instance, runy heads of cabbape
sell at forty and fifty cents each, aad other es
cnlents IN proportion. The alarm, too, III refer.
ence to the black tongue, has advanced the
price OF poultry so that chickens range as high
a"a dollar apiece, and eggs are selling at half
dollar a dozen.
