POPULATION OF MEMPHIs-The following
is an extract from the remarks of the publish
ers ofa directory just published in relation to
the population of that city:
The work Of preparing complete directory
for the city of Memphis has been much greater
than was anticipated by its compiler. No pri-
or estimates ofthe inhabitants of the principal
commercial emporium of Tennessee has placed
the total higher than thirty thousand, but the
present volume records the names of over
nine thousand adults, heads of families, bllsin-
ess persons and other residents, whose locality
could be fixed, ana upon this basis, experience
gained in other cities, would make the present
population of Memphis at least forty five
thousand souls.

THE POISONED CHALIcE RETURNED TO
THEIR OWN LIPs.-The Black Republicans in
Congress procured an investigating committee
on motion of Mr.. Covode, for the purpose of
proving corruption upon their opponents in
the persons of Mr.. Buchanan and the admin
istration but, as in many other cases where
man proposes and God disposes, the poisoned
chalice has been returned to their own lips
the corruption has been shown to exist on the
other side. For example, the testimony Of
Collector Schell proves that in distributing the
funds for the election of 1856, he gave $780,
600 to Cheyalier Forney, the managing man
of the Black Republicans and the testimony
of Mr.. Butterwcrth shows that he gave $500
to Mr.. Haskir, of Weschester, one the chief
engineers of the republican party. Will not
these chevaliers exhibit little more of their
dirty linen ?-Ne,0 York Herald of 7th inst.

THREE PRINCES AMONG Us.-We are shor-
tly to be honored by the presence Of three full
biooded live Princes among us-the Prince of
Wales, who will leave Liverpool for Canada,
on the 10th Of June, and who will extend his
visit to the United States; Simme, Prince Of
Boosen, and Mooraki, Prince of Awadsi-the
two latter mentioned being scions of japanese
royalty, who are to come with the Sanpanese
United States at once will be quite an event,
and will, no doubt, create a sensation where
ever their royal persons may happen to visit.

COMMODORE MARIN.-Com. Marin is about
fifty years of age, but appears somewhat
younger. He is very slightly built, not more
than five feet five or six inches in height, and,
perhaps, 120 pounds in weight. He is very
firmly knit together, however, particularly in
the shoulders, stands and walks perfectly
erect, and altogether has commanding ap-
pearance. A very dark complexion and jet
black eye give him also somewhat fiery
appearance, or what would be such, were it not
for quiet and exceedingly gentle manners.

Among desirable articles we may name as
foremost the want of useful glue, easy ol
use, and of general and universal application
to the repair of furniture, crockery, shell-work
and other serviceable and ornamental purpos-
es. The prime qualities of good glue are
immediate readiness for use at all times and
reliability as hold-fast. And this is the arti.
Gle which Mr.. II. G. Spaulding has been So
fortunate as to introduce. In convenient bot
ties with a handy brush; Spauldings Pre-.
pared Glue requires no days preparatory soft
ening in water; no heating for use, and nc
tedious delays to secure its junction and CO

been "nipped in the bud" Those who have
examined the peach trees say that though a

no reasonable hope of anything in that line.
