IL The account Of the narrow escape of the
steamship Edinburg, from New York for Glaspoyy.
from the effects Of a collision with an iceberg,
brings to mind the general belief that the Inflated
ship President was sunk by a similar disaster
years ago In the present case, the blow was not
severe enough to send the ship to the bottom; but
IL was not until after the most untiring exertons
on the part OF the officers, crew and passengers,
that she was kept afioat and got into St Johns.
The captain appears to have acted with ores,
energy and decision, and those under his care be-
haved bravely.

WAsHINGToN NEWS AND GossIP

MR. ROBERT FoRrUSE.-This gentleman, so
welLknown, both in this country and else
where, as the successful cultivator OF large
plaAtatiOn of Tea seeds in India, has du-
ring the past year been engaged an Chlna IN
the capacity of agent for the Agricultural Dr.
vision of the u. s. Patent Office, in order TO
procure and forward to this country o collec-
ton of the most valuable Tea seeds of that
region. He has returned to London and re-
ports his labors as having been very success
full. All the cases containing the seed, with the
exception of one which is now on the way,
have been received by that Bureau.
It was the original intention of the Depart
ment, that he was to visit this country for the
purpose of experimenting the propagation of
these plants, as he had great experience in
their culture; but the Department having de-
cided his services to be unnecessary, he was
written to to that effect. A letter from him,
dated London, May 9Th, has just been received
by that Bureau, in which after expressing
regret that he was not informed Of the de-
csion of the Department before, as he was on
the eve of embarking for this country, adds.
that nothing would cause him greater sorrow
than to have the experiment now fail, after so
much trouble and expense, for want of that
experience which can only be acquired in the
country to which these plants are indigenous.
LAND OFFICE DEcIsIoN.-The General Land
Office have lately given decision in case
presented from Kansas, to the effect, that if it
should be found, after the survey of the public
land, that the claim of an individual who had
settled upon such land prior to the survey,
should partly lay in a school district, such
claimant would be entitled to three months
time, from the receipt Of the plat embracing
the part of the school section, in which to file
for the whole claim. The joint resolution of I'd
March, 1857 which grants presumption rights
to certain settlers on school sections in Kansas,
&C., is enlarging in its tendencies, and in
creases and extends the privileges Of preemp-
ton. 1t should, therefore, be administered
literally. The settler could not divide his
filing; but he had to file for the whole claim at
the same time. The neglect of this claimant
to file within three months after the survey in
the field, did not forfeit his right, for part Of
his claim is on a school section. He is, there
fore, entitled to the greatest period of time
allowed by law for filing for either class of the
lands constituting his claim. The greatest
period appertains, in the present instance, te
the portion in the school section; and the
claimant being in time for that, and regarding
the claim as an indivisible rhoie, he has, in the
opinion of the Office, filed in time.
