the supply of water restored. These frequent and
heavy freshets show the necessity Of having solid
structures built over our streams, Of sufficient span
and height TO allow the largest volume of water that
may come down, to pass without danger to the
bridges. Such bridges will cost perhaps oue-half
more in the beginning, but VIII last twice as long,
and be a saving in the end.

Our cotemporary is greatly disturbed whenever the
truth happens TO be presented to him. Every line in
the paragraph quoted from this paper IS believed to
be fact-true as Gospel. And until it is disproyed,
by something more than the mere assertions or opin-
ions of "some prejudiced bigots,'' it must stand as
firm as gospel truth.
The GREAT EASTERN, T.-Quite n little commo-
ton was created last week by the appearance in our
harbor of a miniature steaner,-uothing more or less
than IA snail boat about the size of n whaleboat. She
has a four-horse engine, driving a propeller, and
easily makes about eight knots an hour. She was
brought out from New Haven, by Capt. Clark Of the
whaleship ocean, and was intended for lagoon
whaling, but has not proved well adapted to the SER
vice, rs she requires still water to allow her propeller
20 be of any service. For excursions to Pearl river,
she may answer very well. One of our puusters has
called her the Great UesiOR.'

SPLENDID PAssAGEs.-Thc clipper ship Z. f. Ul-
lets, which loaded with oil and bone at Lahaina last

of December and arrived at New Bedford, ON the
afternoon Of the Sd Of March-S94 DAYS passage.
The bark Bheriny, which sailed from Honolulu the
afternoon of December >, also arrived off New Bed
ford the evening of 81, but finding no pilot, could not
get in till the morning of the 1th. The passage Of
the latter is claimed rs the shortest, but really they
are so close, that they may be called a tie.

PoLYNEsT>N SLAvEs-Somc time since we referred
to the importation Of natives from the South Pacific
into koIol, and binding them cut to s~eryiiulc, as
only a species Of slavery. 1t seems that the slave

pLenish'ng the slave markets of that island, as viii be

Ne" York exchange;
