IMPORTANT DIsoovEnY--RspRoDucrIos OF
0YsTERs.--The An,ericain, Of Brest, states
that the system Of NJ. Coste for the repro
duction Of oysters has just been tried by
Captain Leroy, of the French navy, in large
pond filed with salt water, at the head Of the
Bay Of Poulmic. On the 18th Of July last,
he had one hundred and fifty mother oysters,
which had been dredged on the bank Of st.
Marc, placed in this pond, and on the 25th hs
had a number Of planks and bushes placed so
as to collect the spawn. A short time after
the Captain had some oysters dredged at
Tregorvan, which, from their bad quality,
were not considered ft for use. These he had
placed in the Bay Of POulmic, ashort distance
from the shore. On the fifteenth Of November
an examination Of tho bed formed in the salt
water pond was made, and the results were
found most satisfactory, To the planks and
branches placed there, number Of young
oysters were attached, somo of them nearly
half an inch in diameter. Those Of bad
quality, which had beon placed In tho bay,
had, from the removal, completely changed
their nature, and had become excellent for use.

MAcAULAY's AMBrrIoN AND CoxvRRsArIoH.--
The London Athencum has the following state
msnt In an article on tho burial Of Maoaulay:
"Lord Macaulay's ambition was to stand in
the same rank with Hume. II publisher q
balance sheet proved anything, his rank would
be far higher than that Of Hume. The MesSrs.
Longman have paid to him the revenues of q
prince. We have heard, on the beat authority,
OF one single check from publishers to his
torian for f20,000l ss e-an7 ~ 49, n
Gas tabls-talker, Lord Macaulay had o
reputation most peculiar. He was not witty,
like Jerrold, NOR humorous, like Smith, nor
poetical, like Moore, NOR dreamy, like Cole
RIDGE He was narrative. He was the trou-
badour Of dining g-rooms, who charmed the
company with noble speech while they cracked
the nuts and passed the wine. In his oonyer-
sstion, often as il took the form Of monologue,
there was no indication of arrogance on his
part, or Of desire to monopelize the attention
Of everybody. The stream wslled forth out of
the fullness of his mind and prodigious MEM
ory. A quick and fertile intellect got excited
by the applause Of auditors and by the VI
vacity Of it's own elsquence. When he
ianched into any subject there was no hope
OF arresting his voyage, nor any wish to do 10.
He would begin with the remotsst beginnings
Of the topic--just as he begins his History Of
the Reign Of James the Second with the
Ph@nicians-would gather strength and sub
stance % he won't on-would pick up illustra-
tion hero and there from mon and from books,
leaving no corner for objection to fasten on,
no opportunity for reply. There seemed no
reason why the discourse should ever cease;
no more than for the Thames to run dry or
Time to pause. The talk had something of
Millions crgan.roll, and was only to be closed
BY Millions organ stop. Itwas not vivacious,
so much as flowing, suggestive, and sonorously
poetical. Itwas like his Essays and his Lays
as lady described It to her friend was all
print. Thus, though his reputation for con-
versational opuleDce was great, few Of his
sayings are abroad, or will survive the per-
sonal reoollections Of his friends"

DESPERATE ArTHMPr TO BREAK JAiL.-An
attempt was made by two prisoners In the
House Of Correction at Lawrence, Mass, on
Monday, to escape. Their names are Orlando
lockwood and James w. Reynolds. They
escaped from their cell by means Of placing
q nail under the latch Of the door before It
was fastened, which prevented II from catoh-
ing, and afterward hooking q cord to the
handle Of the boil by manipulating 1t with the
iron bail Of their bucket. They then pro-
ceedsd to an outer room, whore Mr.. Poor, the
keeper, slept, and violently assaulted him,
striking him upon the head with bludgeon 80
forcibly that he was for q moment rendered
unconscious. They then attempted to choke
him, when Mr.. Poor rallied, and in the
strength Of desperation, he drove the ruiians
back to their cell before assistance arrived.
