Negro SwindIsr.--On Saturday morning last
a free negro from Petersburg, known as Will
liam Newsom, was examined before the May
or, charged with obtaining n guitar and a
banjo from w. Rade Broad street, and
stealing two flutes, on Friday last. The dr.
cumstances were these: The prisoner and a
confederate went into Mr.. Rade's sto e, and
finding one in attendance but Frederick
Witte, a lad, told him they had purchased and
paid DIR. r. for the banjo and guitar, and
wanted them at once The lad wrapped up the
instruments and handed them over, the pri-
soner in the meantime pocketing two flutes.
When Mr.. Rade came in he was informed OF
what had taken place, and engaging the SER
vices of officer Chalkiey, went to the canal
boat "Red Eye" where they arrested Newsom,
and recovered the goods. The Mayor re-
manded the accused to answer for grand
larceny.

a SUBMARINE LANTERN TESTED-The Nor
folk (Ea) Day Book records an interesting
trial of Gould & Lamb submarine lantern
which came off in presence of q Board of Ex-
aminers appointed by the Navy Department.
on Thursday, the 14th inst, at Portsmouth
Navy Yard. 1t says: The lantern was lowered
to depth of 10 feet in a reservoir OF water in
side the yard, when it continued to burn for
half an hour. They day being oppressiyely
warm, and the Board of Examiners and in
yentors exposed to the rays of the burning SUM-
further experiments We're postponed till nine
o'clock at night. when a second trial was made
from a barge, at the foot of the Commodore's
wharf The lantern was first lowered down
TO the bottom of the river, then separate tests
were made as to the exact distance rays of
light could be seen from the surface Also the
distance light could be thrown so as to dis
tinguish accurately, distinct objects. An oar
lowered TO the depth of six feet from the Ian
tern, the lantern being sunk four feet, was so
clearly seen that the grain of the wood was
distinctly visible. The rays of the light were
visible upon the surface of the river when the
lantern was sunk to the depth of - feet
These experiments were made in thick muddy
water, and except that the Board were satisfied
as TO the principles involved, the lantern
could have been kept burning under water for
three hours. The same principles which gov
ern at 4 depth of 16 feet will prove equally
successful ct a depth of 90 or 1870 feet. This
lantern, in connection with submarine ar
NOR, is destined to open up a new field of en-
terprise in submarine explorations for lost
treasure.

THE EARTH ONE VAST CEMETERY-Scien-
tiffc writers assert that tie number of persons
who have existed since the beginning of time
amounts to 36, 627 ei3 275 O75, ,s45. These figures,
when divided by 3,G95,0G0, (the number OF
II 3ao $50 762 square miles of land on the globe,
which, being divided as before give 49,, ~, ,g76
persons to each square mile. Let us now re-
duce miles to square roods and the numberwill
be ,s53 ia 600 O0, which being divided as before
will give 1888 inhabitants to each square rood;
which, being reduced to feet, will give about
five persons to each square foot of terra -fYnra.
Thus it will be perceived that our earth is one
vast cemetery-i,2 ,2s3 human beings lie buried
in each square rood, scarcely sufficient for ten
graves. Each grave must contain 12S persons
Thus it is easily seen that the whole surface
of the globe has been dug over 12S times to
bury it's dead.

FROM THB MEDITERRANEAN SQUADRON
The Navy department is in receipt of dis
patches OF Flag Officer Lavaliette, of the Me-
diterranean squadron. dated on board the flag
ship Wabash at Trieste, June 20.
1t appears that, owing to the unsettled state
of Tuscany and the Papal States, and appre-
tensions of an outbreak at Naples Us well as
by the United States ministers at Rome and
Naples, the Macedonian and Wabash remained
cruising upon the coast of Italy for several
months. But, as the officer in charge appre.
hended but little danger to American mer-
chantnen, few of whom were in that vicinity.
he proposed 10 sail with the Wabash, on the
Sd of July last, for other points the shore
of the Mediterranean. The consul of Venice
had asked for an American war vessel to visit
that neighborhood, but there were no vessels
in the squadron of draught light enough for
that purpose.

but failing to do so, tm(Rheels Of the vehicle

EXTENSIVE ARRIVAL or BLACKS FROM CA
NADIA, EN- ROUTE FOR TIRE SoUTH.-Thursday
morning, Packet Union arrived from Port
Stanley, Canada with sixteen fugitive slaves,
who had escaped from the South ut various
periods wi1xn the last two years, and who had
been living at the negro settlement at Chat
ham, Canada West. Becoming weary of Ca
madam freedom, which, to many blacks, en-
braces the exalted liberty Of going inadequate
ly clothed, and of being nearly starved 10
death, they Were about to return to the South,
preferring plantation life to the responsible
ties attendant on q state OF existence for which
circumstances have rendered them peculiarly
disqualified. One family consisting of a COL
ored man, his mother, wife and three children,
who escaped from near Paris, Ky, about one
year ago, after the experience afforded by
hard Canadian winter, began to sigh for their
"Old Kentucky Home, - and short time ago
they wrote to their master, informing him of
their desire to return, and requesting him to
meet them at Cleveland. When they arrived
on the old packet, their master was there to
meet them, and they expressed their gratfica-
tion at the meeting in manner which denoted
sincere regard for him. "Old Aunty,o a
venerable negress, whose black and shining
face stood ont in strange contrast with her
