IMPORTANT FROM VENEZUELA.-We have
important news from Venezuela, dated at La
guayra on the 10th ult. The French Charge
d,Affaires received his passports and was ex-
pelied from the country on the 14th of that
month. He took his departure for France in
the steamer Lucifer. Venezuela was still
much disturbed, but the reyolutionists seem
to have been nearly crushed out, as We have
reports OF considerable fighting, resulting in
continued successes of the government troops.
The executive was, ii is said, supported by
the moneyed and law and order men, plenty
Of volunteers, aud the piety of the ladies.

Sugar Refaery.-Workmen are now steadily
employed in preparing the foundation for the
Sugar Refinery, to be built In Rockets for Mr..
G. Y. Morris. After getting few feet below
the surface of the ground, they found the soil
SO soft and unsubstantal, that piling had to be
reserted to, and, as consequence, the work
has been somewhat delayed. The bricklayers
and carpenters, however, have agreed to run
up the building in very short time after the
foundation is prepared, so that the refining Of
sugar may be commenced at an early period
this winter.

Mayor yesterday, where he was required to
answer for beating and threatening TO kill
his wife, When sober, Andrew is said to be

drunk so often, and been SO cruel and unkind
to his better-half and 'slittle ones" that the

made no excuse for his "bearish" conduct and
was therefore committed in default of bail for
better behavior.

Good WhnrreS are almost essential to the
business of Rockets, inasmuch as they are
necessary to the protection of goods. We are
glad to see that some of them are being i'm
proved in a substantial manner, and hope that
all Will be put in complete order in short
time. When the bar at Rockets is removed,
and the channel is sufficiently deepened to ad-
init large class vessels, many of them will load
and unload at Rockets, and thus bring into
use all the wharf property in the neighbor-
hood of the creek. Indeed, the steamers now
running to and from Richmond need much
larger landings than they now have, and as
their trade increases they will be compelled
to extend their facilities for discharging and
receiving cargoes.

NoAHs ARK AND THE GREAT EAsTERx.--

10 broad within eight feet. Az an illustration
~ the change In ideas ofs navigation which
tne building of thea Great Eastern is calcuia-
sed 70 produce. we will quote the following
paragraph from an elaborate article issued
some thirteen years since, in the Church Of

re-pnblished in LitteIl's Living Age:
NOW, as 1t is clearly that a ves-
SCI Of the length and breadth Of the Ark conld

entirely for perfectly still waters. we have
supposed 1t TO be fiat-bottomed and straight
sided, bot as to making it the more buoyant
and rs giving to 1t the greatest capacity. Il
was devoid ofall sailing properties: had neith-
er rigging nor rudder; its build was simply
tnat OF huge float, TO all outward appear

waves, liable to be drifted or driven about ac-
coroing as currents or winds for the time

could not for moment have been subject.
ed to the influence of either winds or tides
Ihe erfraord,nary length off the Ark proves,
at once. the miraculous power that was at
every moment, in exercise for its preserYa-
ton, since no vessel Of the Ark's proportions
could naturally live in disturbed waters; the
very Hrst wave that rose would inevitably
break its back and rend il entirely asunder;
nor with all our experiencein ship building
would it be possible to construct d vessel OF
the Ark's proportions and navigate it from
Dover to Calais in rough weather-the least
sweil OF the ocean, by raising one end and de-
pressing the other, would break it in the mid
die and cause it to founder, nor could any
possible contriyance or ingenuity of construc-
tion prevent this consequence. And if the
very peculiar construction of the Ark had
not made such a conclusion Irresistible, the
purpose for which it was built would have
proved that such was the fact, for had the
m hal inac T. A.

the influence of the wind, which, from its
great length and little with it must most
