The GRLAT EASTERN arrival from
Europe brings different statement regarding
the intended movements of the Great Eastern.
We last learned that her day of departure for
America had been fixed for the 2Sth proxmo.
We are now told that she will leave Portland,
Weymouth, on her trial trip, on the 8th of Oc-
tober, instead of the 18th of September and fin
ally sail from Holyhead for Portland, Maine, on
the goth of October, instead of the 28th This
delay of three weeks is the time in which Mr..
Scott Russell contracts to repair the damage &C.
casioned by the explosion, and to put the YES
sci in the same condition that she was in when
she sailed from the Thames This contract
however, does not include any repairs which the
boilers may be found to require and although
they apparently sustained no damage, an nvesti-
cation is said to have shown that the internal
stays of the boiler most directly exposed to the
force of the shock have either been displaced or
greatly weakened, so that the boiler cannot
safely be used in its present state.

Invasion of the Aristocratic Circles.

Great fermentation has been produced in
Union Square, a fashionable neighborhood of
New York, in consequence of band of negro
MINISTRIES having leased one of the SPLENDID pa
latial buildings there, for twenty years. at rent
of $4,000 year and taxes, with the privilege of
buying it at any time within five years for $780,
OOO The house is to be used as the head
quarters of negro minstrelsy, the Opera Af'1-
canaque, and the reader can judge of the great
commotion in Union Square, and what an at
fright there is in it at present. The New York
Eapress hits it off as follows:
"Aunt Tabitha says, ave bought all the
way up here; to live and to die here, but here
now is the Sixth Ward coming up with the ne
gro minstrels.n "What am to do where am
to go ?'' adds Aunt Tabitha-in as much ola
puzzle as was Mr. Webster, when Massachusetts
thought of turning him out of the Wing party
The salons of the Square are all in commotloh-
and there is a general determination to move
but "where to go to-" that is the question, Tor
no place in New York or in the suburbs seems
safe from outside invasion. Aunt Tabitha, on
ly ten wears ago, picked out Union Square to
live and to die in, and staked out her lot in
Greenwood, too,-but Brooklyn is rapidly en-
veloping even Greenwood-and here in Union
Square are coming Niger Minstrels Poor
Aunt Tabitha! We can't tell you where to go
to live or where to go to die in.
But won't there be a clearing out on Union
square next spring Hotels already flank it on
three corners,-the Everett, the Clarendon, and
the Union,-and now advancing are the amuse
ments of the city, which make night hideous to
all early to-bed goers, like Aunt Tabitha. Some
will rush to Murray Hill,-but that is about
filed up, and others will live and perish in the
brick and mortar, and dirt and dust of the
streets that line the Central Park Alas the
glory of Union square is departed Where
Flora McFlimsey shook love-drops from her
curls ambrosial, and where fourished in glorious
grandeur the American Beaux Brummell, there,
oh think of the dissertation, There or therea-
bouts, will Cato and Scipio Jump the weasel"
and sing all the way down in Alabama, lives
"Rose, Rose, coal black Rose,
l wish may be shot,
If don't love Rose"

AN ENaRAvER, named Peter German, got on
a spree recently in New Orleans, and feeling the
want of money, he stopped Joseph Sass on Poy-
dras street, and, remarking to him that he looked
like man that had money, and had no business
running around with money in his pocket, DELHI
erately proceeded to search him. Mr. Sass,
having taken out his pocket-book, held it in his
hand behind his back, and quietly submitted to
the search. He followed German, and saw him
put negro through similar investigation =
Mr.. Sass then had German arrested on charge
of highway robbery.

A NEW kind of bread known as the aerated
bread" is now made in London, in the manufac-
ture ofwhich no fermentation is used The pro-
cess consists in forcing ready prepared carbonic
acid, by means of suitable machinery, into the
water with which the dough is prepared, then
mixing the flour, water, and salt together in a
highly condensed atmosphere From the mix
Ing apparatus the dough is received in the ba-
king-pans, and passed into the ovens without
being touched by the hands BY this means

pension of the publishing house of Phillips, samp-

there has been no delay in sending it out. The

A DouBLE-HEADED SNAKE was recently killed
near StarkVille, Ga 1t is about fifteen inches
long, and, about three inches from its head, or
heads, the body divides into two we-formed
necks of about two inches in length, on the end
of each of which is perfectly developed head
both alike and of the size you would expect to
find on an ordinary rattlesnake of its size. With
it there were fifteen other small ones and the
mother; the mother was said by the negroes to
be nine feet long.

HORRIBLE CRUELTY IN THE BRITISH ARMY
The British are ever congratnlating them
selves that they have reached the highest point
of civilization. But the world will be apt to
doubt this, and with good reason, so long as
such revolving practices as described in the fol-
lowing paragraph are carried on in the British
army, and with the sanction of British law. The
disgusting story is told by the London Times,
and is as follows -
"The first man, named Green, bore his pun
soldier, but the second, named Davis, young
recruit, protested his innocence of the CRIME OF
desertion, beloved and screamed for mercy ana
duplicated Col Talbot and the medical officers,
and others who were present, to have compass
sion on him or he should die His back was
covered with mass of large, red, inflated boils,
which bled profusely at every stroke, and red
dened the ground under his feet, upon which the
cat was ordered to be withdrawn for few mo-
ments, when finding that his punishment was
not at an end, he gave vent to ordinations for
mercy, and partly succeeded in delivering himself
by force from the straps which bound him to the
halyards The punishment was again ordered
to be continued, when at every succeeding stroke
his cries and EXPLANATIONS were most lamentable
insomuch that the officers and men swooned
away at the sickening spectacle, and had to be
carried into the open air. One officer and up
wards of twenty non-commissioned officers and
men, long in the service, tainted, and others
stopped their and closed their eyes, lest they,
too, should become unnerved, and be subject to
the reproach and ridicule of their comrades.

CRITICAL CONDITION OF THE PoPE-A cor
respondent of the London Times, writing from

as follows: The popes health is fast declin-

alarming symptoms it causes fever and swell
ing in several parts of the body The illness is
serious" 10 the letter containing this the fol-
lowing is added: "The Pope is said to have
received the extreme JUNCTION, the sacrament
administered to the dying"

THE W1NANs STEAMER. The Improvement

THE WINANs STEAMER -The Improvement
upon the original design of the Winans steam er
have been completed, and We learn that it is
the intention of her builders, Messrs. Ross &
Thomas Winans, to make the contemplated
trial trip outside of her native waters. Norfolk
will he the first destination of the vessel and she
will probably start for that port to-day or to-
morrow. The visit of the vessel to New York
and other ports will be governed by circumstan-
ces. It has been suggested to her builders and
owners to take the nondescript vessel to Port
land, Me-, on the arrival of the Great Easte m
there That Port would, in the event of such
determination, be the receptacle of two Of the
greatest wonders of the marine world. The
original length of the Winans' steamer was 1856
feet but it being demonstrated by frequent
trials that greater length insured an increase
of speed, several additions have been made and
the length of the vessel now is 235 feet from point
to point The vessel is now coaling prepara-
tory to her voyage, with 200 tons of the best
Cumberland coal. Baltimore Sun, Oct. f.
