ExrRAvAGANr IMroRrs.--The New York Tribune
expresses conviction that the people of this country
are all wagering with each other to how great
amount Of foreign iron, cloth and silk; and 6nery
they can import and use up without breaking: There
can he no doubt that the immense increase of late in
the importation Of uxuries, as compared with former
years, gives tone to the idea of our contemporary.
For the first eight months of 1859 the foreign dry
goods received at New York more than double the
amount for the same period last year. while it tends
to weaken the encouragement that ought to be given
to domestic manufactures and through them, by the
better living and superior comforts of the industrious
classes to agriculture and every other productive
occupation. And it is remarkable that wheat has
fallen enormously since Christmas last and the fall
has made more than one man beggar. As the new
crop comes forward it must fall still more, until il
goes low enough to uudersell the English market
extravaganza alluded to is persisted in the process
general ateuing gu. will go on We may bear
mines of California to lean upon. The millions SHIT
produces merely pass in ensiu through our mint

FAST RUNNING ON THE CENTRAL RAILRoAD.-The
Buffalo Republic says that the Central Railroad,
last Tuesday night, there was some of the quickest
travelling that ever occurred on any railroad. The
Cincinnati Express, which left Buffalo at IL P. NJ,
on arriving near Town Line, fifteen miles distant,
could go no further in consequence of fire in
wood piles on the track. The engineer, Matthias Err
hardt backed up the train to Lancaster switched off
on the north track and started again. At Town
Line he met the train from New York city on time.
Having lost considerable in backing up and changing
tracks, Erhardt determined to make it up again.
And he did, He made the run from Town Line to
Rochester r--fftyfour miles-in sixty minutes, made
two stops and took in wood and water at Batavia |!
This was over mile minute and the fastest time
for the number Of miles, ever accomplished on any
road iu the Union that we ever heard of.
This enterprisng engineer should have been i'm
mediatey arrested, and in due time consigned to a
cell in the Penitentiary.
