LONGEVITY OF THE GRAPE FINE.--
Pliny speaks of vine which had existed
900 years. There are vineyards in Italy
which have been in a Hourishing state for
upwards of 800 years: and Miller states
that vineyard 100 years old is consiu-
cred young. There is vine at Hamp-
ton Court, near London. Of the Red Ham
burgh variety, supposed to be 375 yea
old. II occupies about 100 square yards.

movement is secured by the cooperation of
Louis Napoleon and the new commercial ALL
ance between France and England. The Cabi-
net of st. James is animated by q very diffe-
rent policy from that which marked 1t at the
beginning of the present century. The de-
scendants of the old tory supporters of George
ILL., will not be permitted to add another five
hundred millions of pounds sterling 70 the ma
tonal debt for the purpose of sustain
ing few rotten dynasties upon the thrones of
Europe. England has determined to let the
Continent work out its own destiny, while she
will pursue the path of commercial Industrial
and maritime development that lies before her.
With France and Italy in alliance with this
policy of material development, these three
countries will command the resources of the
whole world in support of their policy; and as
time cements their alliances, and brings new
generations of men to the support of their
ideas, old theories in social and physical SCI
ence, and old forms in practice, will melt away
before them.

EFFECTS OF THE PRINCE OF WALES VISIT TO
AMERICA.-The announcement that the Prince
of Wales intends to visit Canada this summer,
enlivening effect upon Canadian securities in
England. There is very little doubt, we sup
pose, that the distinguished visiter will not
confne his tour to the Canadian provinces, but
will come across the border and take look at
his Yankee cousins and their various institu
tions as we'll. No doubt he will come to New
York, take a run down to Washington, and
probably pay the West flying visit If he
comes here, he will receive an ovation, we viii!
venture to say, hardly second to that which his
august mothers dutiful subjects in Canada will
give him, and will create more excitement
than any celebrity who preceded him to the
United States; for this interesting young man
may one day be King of England, if the
British government manage things properly
and Queen Victoria does not live too long
AS the present generation of Yankees never
saw a king, they will undoubtedly flock from
all quarters of the country to get look at
one who is at leas monarch in prospective.
The young Prince during his visit here will be
the admiration of the men, the pet of the wo-
men, and the wonder of the million. We will
axe him to the Opera, and escort him to the
Central Park; Alderman Brady will thrill his
Anglo-Saxon ear with his rich and chaste ora
tory; and the Ten Governors will feast him
sumptuously, as their custom is, in the
Workhouse at Blackwell's Island. The
St. Georges Society will overwhelm him
with kindness, loyalty and champagne; the st.
Andrews will cram him with "hagis," and
even the Friendly Sons of st. Patrick, forget
ting old Scores will insist upon drowning
shamrock with him in genuine Irish whiskey OF
the "Wise" brand. In short, the Prince will
have good time generally.
But if the announcement of his visit to
Canada has already affected Canadian securi-
ties, why not his visit to the United States run
up American securities too? Now is the time,
then, to speculate in United States stocks,
State stocks and railroad scrip. The stock of
every railroad he travels on will undoubtedly
90 ND in the market, and if the Wall street
men could only find out the programme of his
tour in advance, they might make good thing
by buying up stock in the different roads on
the route.

The CHARLESTON OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES month
cratic candidates for the Presidency. Now
there are only three or four. Political events
during the brief interval have disposed of the
rest There were in this State three candidates
Seymour, Dickinson, Wood; now there is but
one of these who has any political vitality.
The other two have been despatched by the
Connecticut election. In Virginia there were
two-Hunter and Wise-who have effectually
disposed of each other. In Georgia there was
Cobb, who has resigned, and Stephens, who is
dropped by the people. In Illinois there was
Stephen A. Douglas, about whom there
has been so much noise to- no purpose.
The South has disposed of him. la
Kentucky there were Guthrie and BreckiD-
ridge, who are now pretty much in the predi-
cament of the Kilkenny cats. Some of the
former friends of Douglas, who do not think it
safe to stick to him any longer, talk of Breck-
inridge as acceptable to the North, because
he is not regarded as decided pro-slavery
man. But this very fact would kill him at the
South, if there was any life left in him. His
affinities have been too close with Douglas TO
escape the Southern opprobrium which covers
the Little Giant. His days are therefore num-
bered. Then there were Dallas of Pen1syl-
vania, Slidell of louisiana, Houston of Texas,
Thomas A. Seymour of Connecticut, Pierce of
New Hampshire, Orr of South Carolina, Jetfer-
son Davis of Mississippi, Caleb Gushing of
Massachusetts,, Joseph H. Lane Of Oregon, and
one or two others.
Of these, like the numerous horses which
enter for the Derby, only three or four are to
run for the nomination. To obtain it two con-
ditions are necessary. First, the South
must have the selection of the candi-
date, for the vast majority of the votes
come from that quarter; and, second
ly, he must be man who will ran
we'll in the middle States-Pennsylva-
MIA, New Jersey, Indiana and Illinois-the bat
lie field where the victory must be won. The
only men whose qualifications combine these
two conditions are Wood, Houston and Lane.
They are the only live men out of the score Of
candidates talked of few weeks ago. There
may be another of whom nothing has yet
been heard, but who may loom up at the last
moment. We cannot tell. But among those
who are named the contest is narrowed down
to three, and perhaps before the 23d of this
month the number will be still further re-
duced.
The delegates to the Charleston Convention
will not, therefore, have so much trouble, after
all, and may get through their work in one
day, or at most two, including the platform,
which will necessarily be very short and sim
pie, the republicans having cut out for the de.
mocracy plain issue, which must be fairly
and squarely met, without hair splitting, or
subterfnge, or evasion Of any kind.

PASSAGE OF THE WASHINGTON HEIGHTS Bull
The bill for opening streets on Washington
Heights has now been run through both houses
of the Legislative with haste hardly equalled
by the railroad gridirvA schemes; but we hope
that Governor Morgan will give the matter
due consideration and reflection before he ap-
proves of it. From the extraordinary manner
in which the bill was rushed through the COM
mittees, without word of explanation being
heard, many of the gentlemen owning pro-
perty in that region do not precisely com
prehend its purposes or its effects The scheme
has been concocted as a matter of speculation
merely and nothing more, out of which some
parties expect to make money. When
the streets and avenues provided for are
opened, there will be an emigration to
that vicinity of those valuable citizens,
with their stock in trade of pigs and other
disgusting nuisances, who formerly occupied
all that region around and below the Central
Park, and whom it took the City Inspector,
aided by strong posse of police, nearly six
weeks, last summer, to root out These enter
prising members Of the community have been
ever since looking out for favorable location
for themselves and their odious companions of
the porcine tribe, and no sooner will the streets
and roads around Washington Heights be
opened than they will emigrate in that direc-
ton, and either buy small lots or squat upon
the property, precisely as they have done
lower down for years past, until they were
driven out as an insufferable nuisance by the
famous police war of last summer
Thus property in that neighborhood, instead
of increasing in value, will be materially re-
duced Instead Of realizing two or three thou
sand dollars an acre for it, as some of the
owners calculate upon, they may find its value
reduced some fifty per cent, or thereabouts We
trust, therefore, that before the Governor, by
his sign manual, elevates this specializing
scheme into a law, he will give that earnest
consideration to its merits which was denied to
it in the committees and in both houses of the
Legislature.
