BEEF FALLING.-The supply for this market the
past week is excessively large, $3.50 head having
been received the largest in any week for several
years past. Good cattle sold as low as $500 cents
a decline of one cent per pound. Sheep, on the
contrary, have advanced fifty cents per head, the
receipts having fallen otfconsiderably.-M Y. EUe.

A new kind of bread, known as the aerated bread
is now made in London, in the manufacture of
which no fermentation is used. The process con-
sists in forcing ready prepared carbonic acid, by
means of suitable machinery, into the water with
water and salt together in highly condensed
atmosphere. From the mixing apparatus the
dough is received into the baking pans and passed
into tho ovens without being touched by the hands.
By this the constituency of the -four is left
both unchanged and uncontaminated-the loaf being
accordingly absolutely pure bread. If the attempt
succeeds will supply great desideratum, as the
medical profession have pronounced fermented
bread injurious to large class of individuals

LARGE GREEK CoYTRAcT.-We are permitted to
state that the American Bank Note COMPANY which
organized last year, and is now in active oneration
IN the Merchants Exchange building has lust com
pleted contract for the National Bank of Greece
providing that institution with notes of yarious de-
nominations engraved in the highest style which
the art has yet attained in any country The gene
raj appearance of the notes. in comparison with
those commonly issued by American banks, is not
remarkable, except that they are larger and have
rough edges-n the latter respect resembling notes
OF the Bank of England. The paper is made ey
pressly for the Greek bank, with watermark and
Is printed in three coors, black red and green All
have the name of the bank inscribed across the left
end; and among the embellishments is portrait of
the Governor of the bank the national coat of arms
and beautiful vignette. One of the latter repre
sents the Temple of Theseus, at Athens. These
notes are bound in volumes, and cut out as issued
leaving marginal record of their number and
amount. Their denominations are severalIv ten
twenty-five and ,,one hundred drachmas: six
drachmas being equivalent to dollar. The size
varies tre, increasing according to the amount of
the note.
This is the first contract of any magnitude for
bank note engraving, ever executed in this country
lor any European Government and having been
awarded 10 United States engravers, contrary to
an precedent and in face of the strong competition
ouefea py the engravers of Europe may very natu-
rally be construed as high compliment to Ameri-
can art. In mechanics, the superior skill of the
united States has been repeatedly acknowledged
as In naval architecture, the construction of imnIe
ments of war and agriculture, &c. but in tba arts
we have not made equal advance In painting and
sculpture only beginning to attract attention
Bank note engraving however, has been carried 10
degree of excellence equaled in no other part of
the wOrld.-Jour. Com

INTERESTING FROM VENEZUELA,

THE CIVIL WAR AT LAGUAYRA-BATTLE AT MARGoUETIA
LAGUAYRRA, Monday, Aug. 19'-The whole coun-
try Is IN open revolution. About four DAYS before
my arrival, Gen. Aquado, Federal or insurgent
leader, entered Laguayra, and taking possession
with mere handful of men has held it ever since.
whilst Caracas is in the hands of the Government
party, Aquado has therefore cut off all communi-
cation with the interior. On the 9th between three
and four hundred men attacked Mariquetia three
fourths of a mile from Laguayra, where are the
headquarters of Aquado, and the two armies fought
from IL M. to 4 p. NJ, but the Caraccanos, having
no cannon had to retreat leaving us as badly off as
before. The whole battle could be plainly seen
from Laguayra.
Only few days before this fight, Aquado enter
ed Caracas, when hard fight took place in the
streets Aquado finally retreated, leaving about
one hundred killed and wounded MANY of his
troops are armed with Minnie rifles
Laguayra is under martial law. No person is
allowed In the street after nine o'clock at night.
AT every corner barricades of wood and stone are
erected cannon are seen at every turn loaded with
balls, bullets and stones while the soldiers, with
lighted cigars are lounging among them. Acct
dents frequently occur. One cannon was acct

much damage to some houses, and wounding two
sentinels. 1t is, therefore, dangerous to 90 into
the streets day or night. There is no business

when he wants soldiers entices the people into the
plaza, surrounds them with his minions drives

money, he inprisons Spaniard of the other party,
and threatens to shoot him if he refuses to launch
out. Every day they are becoming more insolent.
hope change will come soon. To-day / hear
that the army in Caracas has been augmented con-
siderably, and that they intend marching down.
Ifso, Laguayra, will very soon be the scene of
homicdal conflict, and the streets strewed with dead

NAVAL INTEL11GENoE.-In the news sent us from
the Home and Pacific squadrons, we find assuran-
ces that the United States frigate Sabine, having
been satisfactorily tested during her trip from the
United States and from Aspinwall to San Juan,
(where she at anchor, is greatly improved in
her sailing qualities by the somewhat trivial alter
ations which made in her rudder when she
returned from South America. The provisions and
stores were being rapidly removed from the Relief
in order to enable that vessel to leave for New ork
at an early day. On the LIST of September the cor
vette jamestown left San Juan (where the Sabine
relieved her) for ten days cruise to exercise, &c.
The other vessels stationed as reported by the
Star of the West.
From the Pacific we learn that the old squadron
was about to be dispersed. The Decatur. Merri-
mac, and Vandalia, have already been officially de-
tached from the feet the Saranac is the only ship
belonging to it not in receipt of 'homeward bound'
orders. The latter steamer, on her trip from Calao
to Panama, called at nearly every port on the way
to which maritime access can be had. The order
directing the old shaky Yandalia to proceed on the
long and perilous voyage around the Horn, when
coming home, surprised and considerably annoyed
many of her officers and crew; who hoped to Join
their families by steam via Panama. The Merrimac
is to await the Lancaster at Valparaiso, and the
sloop st. Mary's has been detailed by the new and
vigilant commander-n-chieffor duty at Guayamas
where American interests require at present the
appearance of a national ship. All officers and
crews are well.-Journal Conn., ...

The EATHER.-We are not surprised to find
such items as the following in our Northern ex.
changes:
SNow.-SOme few very observant persons insist
that they discovered snow falling yesterday morn
ing. The particles were so minute and scattering
that none but the sharpest-sighted could discover
them. We can assert, however, from our own OBJ
servation, that it might have showed nearly all
day without any very great inconsistency, as the
air was vastly more like that of March than a
September day.-Detroit Free Press.
Cold WEATHER.-We have "snow'' report by
telegraph, the first of the season. The weather
here is very cold. Wood fires indoors and over
coats outdoors are the fashion. Our reporters in
the country write swapping private complaints of
the bitter cod and we fear that one of our agents,
who was sent to transact some business, has been
frozen. We have not heard from him. The towns
in this neighborhood were visited by frost last
nght.-BOStOn Courier.
1t might just as well have showed here on Satur-
day last, as to have done what it did. Nobody
would have felt any worse if it had.

Desperate Attempt to Assassinate an

A dastardly attempt was made on Sat-
urday, near midnight, by W. D. White
one of the attaches of the Journal Office,
to assassinate W. w. Bloss, the local ed
tor Of this paper. Mr.. Bloss was seated
at his desk, with his back towards the
door of the Office, when White entered,
and without word or intimation of his
design, instantly fired at the back of Mr..
Bloss, the ball striking his shoulder
blade in the region of the heart, anil
glancing off passed through his left arm.
Mr.. Bloss sprang to his feet, but before
he could tnrn to see his assailant, White
had fired three shots, one taking effect as
above stated, one passing through the
right arm, aud one passing through the
left hand. Mr.. Bloss discovered the as.
sassin in time to avoid the fourth shot
which was aimed directly at his head
AS soon as he could reach his pistol, he
returned the fire, but being weak ani
dizzy from the effect of his wounds, hi
failed to hit his antagonist. White
then fired three more shots, and hastily
left the room. Physicians were immed
lately called in and the wounds of Mr.
Bloss were examined and found to b,
