2fIoRD LYoNs.-The reported arrival Of the fri.

Post says:
The British Consul at this port had up to noon
to-day received no intelligence OF his arrival. He
had teIegraphed to Sandy Hook to make inq uiry,
but no such vessel as the Curacoa had been report
ed there The probability that the whole report
is a mistake is e1hanced from the fact that the
Curacao is under orders to proceed direct to

voted by experienced old stagers a yery disa.
greeab'o source of locomotive pleasure, and we
have no doubt that their taste in the matter
would remain unaltered even if sweet youne

volved in the accident. and incidentally on the
same seat, and under the comfortable folds of
the same cloak.
A young and inexperienced "stager" re
Jalced IN the identical situation recently. He
was one of those devil-may care, insubordinate
youths, who believe in nothing but themselves.
and have everything their own way He pre-

Is The PLANET MARS INHABIrED?-The
opponents OF the doctrine Of the plurality of
worlds allow that greater probability exists
OF Mars being inhabited than in the case of
any other planet. His diameter is 4 100 miles;
and MS surface exhibits spots of different hues;
the seas, according to accurate observation, an.
peariDg to be green, and the land red. The
variety IN the spots, it is thought, may arise
fIoW the planet not being destitute of atmos-
phcre and cloud; and what adds greatly to the
probability of this, is the appearance of bril-.
liant white spots at its poles, which have been
corjectured TO be snow, as they disappear when
they have long been exposed to tue sun, and
are greatest when emerging from the long
night OF their polar winter, tie snow line then
extending TO about six degrees from the pole.
The length Of the day is almost exactly twenty
t?ur hours, the same as that of the earth Con-
tinents and oceans and green savannahs have
been observed upon Mars, and the snow of his
polar regions has been seen to disappear with
the heat ofsummer. Clouds NAV actually be
seen floating in the 'tnosple-e of tie planet,
and there is the appearance of land and water
on his disc.
