A Strange Dream.-The following is
in the appendix to DR.. Binn's Anatomy
of Sleep. It was communicated to the
author by Hon. Mr.. Talbot, father of
the present Countess of Shrewsbury,
and is given in his own words and over
his own signature
In the. year 176S, my father, Mat
thew Talbot, of Castle Talbot, county
of Wexford, was much surprised at the
recurrence of n dream three several
times during the same night, which
caused him to repeat the whole circum-
stance to his lady the next morning.
He dreamed that he had arisen as usual
and descended to his library, the morn
ing being hazy. lie then seated HIM
self at his secretaire to write, when,
happening to look up long avenue Of
trees, opposite the window, he per-
ceived a man in blue jacket, monnted
on white horse, coming towards the
house. My father arose and opened the
him with roll of papers, and told him
they were the invoices of vessel that
had been wrecked, and had drifted in
curing ouo n1Sio OiEA5uS Sou-lli-idWS
Iord Mount Morris estate, hard by,
and signed BELL and Stephenson"
My fatheiss attention was callad to the
dream only from its frequent recur-
renee butwhen he found himself seat
ed at his desk on the misty morning,
and beheld the Identical person whom
ihe had seen in his dream, in the blue
coat, riding on Q gray horse, he felt
surprised, and, opening the window,
heawaited the mans approach. He inn
mediately rode up, and drawing from
his pocketa packet of papers, gave
them to my father, stating that they
were invoices belonging to an Ameri-
can vessel which had been wrecked
and drifted upon his lordship's estate;
that there was no person on board to
lay elaim to the wreck, but that the in
voices were signed "Bell and Stephen
son. assure you, my dear sir, that
the above actually occurred, and is
most faithfully given; but it is not more
extraordinary than other examples of
the prophetic powers of the mind or
soul during sleep, which l have fire.

The Neao England CcnSuS.- A
writer in Boston, for Harper's Weekly,
thus contradicts statement made in
that iournaffo the effect that, in the
census of 1860, New England would
show no increase over that of
1850, and that its seaboard cities will
probably show falling off.
From returns published in the papers
there is reason to believe that ''no sea-
board city, on any other city, in New
England, has fallen off in population.
On the contrary. many of them have
largely increased, Boston has, by re =
turns, about 10000 more inhabitants
than in 1850, the number now being
over III 900; and the contiguous cities,
Roxbury, Cambridge, Charlestown and
Chelsea, have increased in the like ratio.
Excepting in very few small agri-
cultural towns in the western part of
the State, it is believed that there has
been no falling off. On the contrary,
there is sufficient evidence already
public that the census of the State will
exceed 200, ,OOO-a gain of more than
100000 in the ten years. Maine has
increased at least $4,000, and Con-
necticut 6O,OO; Rhode Island 10000.
The census of New hampshire has been
made up, and shows a small gain. Yer
mont has probably done no worse than
than New Hampshire.
Upon the whole, it may be safely
stated that New England has not gain
ed less than 100000 since the census
of 1850, of which official evidence will
shortly be forthcoming.

The Troubles in FZorida Orr
Letters from the scene Of the late
insurrection in Florida state that the
troubles are over, and that peace again
reiens in the disturbed district. The
supremacy of the law has been vindi-
Gated. The parties accused, as a gene
raj thing, submitted to the authorities.
Seventeen have been committed ON II
charge Of murder, ten for assault with
intent to kill, and large number were
required to find securities to keep the
peace. Thirty-three were committed on
a charge Of conspiracy. The citizen
soldiers conducted themselves III an
admirable manner.

Fisheries on the Southern CoaSt.--
Within the last four years, says the
Savannah Express, the business Of
supplying Savannah Charleston, the
interior of Georgia and South Carolina
with fish, has become something Of
magnitude. AT Mayport Mills, below
jacksonville, Fa., an ice house has
been built. 1t will be supplied with ice
the first of the coming month, a cargo
having been ordered. At the ice house,
the fish will be packed in hnrrcIS and
boxes, and shipped ON steamers TO Su-
yanuah and other ports.

Uonaan end DreSS.-Alphonse Karr
writes of the ladies less poetically than
Michelet; both seem to understand the
sex pretty we'll, but their experiences
may have been different. Karr says:
I'm woman's life, everything leads TO a
new dress; everything ends with a new
dress; every circumstance is marked
by new dress, and the dress is the
most important point. A girl is going
20 be married-a dress. For mo-
ment her heart filled with love, thoughts
of an entirely new existence, and of a
long separation from her parents
Everything disappears before the all
absorbing question of the 1Oedding
dress. A relation dies. The grief of
the ladies is violent: but it is soon
checked, for the mourning has to be
thought OF. What are people wearing?
What is the most fashionable mode of
tcstifying ones sorrow 1t is necces-
sary to go to the inehdraper's, to the
dress-maker's, to the milliner's, and in
little while they are so thoroughly
occupied that there is quite an end to
LAMENTATIONS, unless, however, the dress
do not happen to fit, or the bonnet be
too much or too little off the head. But
if the dress is made of some new mate
rial, if the bonnet is becoming, then
they experience an involuntary glow
they are triumphant, they arc very
happy"

MISCELLANEOUS,

Brother GILES and the Referees.
Boston Cmmercial Bulletin gives the
following anecdote as having occurred
at Charelemont, Mass, some years
ago, by way of illustrating the satisfac-
ton in which decisions in referee cases
are often received:
One Mr.. Giles, man of strong ma
tural sense, and endowed with more than
a common share Of wit and sarcasm, was
frequently before the courts in matters
ofcivil suit. The patience of the court
having become exhausted, they turned
'GiIes's cases over to referees.
On the occasion to which we refer,
the referees were Deacon White,
Squire Taylor and Capt. Rudd-three
of the most prominent men in town.
The case was a perpleXing one and
occupied a considerable time, resulting
at last in decision adverse to Giles.
When this decision was reached, and it
became necessary to call in the parties,
GOOD Deacon White arose and said ::
NV friends, we are all aware of the
impetuous character of brother Giles,
and we must expect to hear much strong
denunciation and personal abuse let
us be contented with having done our
duty and receive his abuse in chris
tian spirit
The door was then opened and bro
ther Giles was called for with the other
parties. Deacon White, ANNOUNCED the
decision thus: %
"Brother Giles, we havesat long and
lpatiently on this case; and we, have
,endeavored to do our, duty and we
have viewed the whole. matter-we
trust prayerfully-and regret that our
$Sehse of justice and right compels us
to decide against you.n
Then following the Delivering of the
papers, the bill of costs, &c, and the
.referees reclined back in their chairs
tto"aWiait tho expected storm. Giles
who, when occasion suited, could be the
most polite of gentlemen - stepped
back with quiet dignity and ease, lifted
his hat and bowed very graciously in
ucknowledgmcnt of the arduous ser
vice Of the referees, and retired to-
wards the door-they meanwhile, feel
ing an intense inward satisfaction that
the storm had blown over. But, alas
it was calm before a tempest, and the
returning form of old Giles reappeared
through the half closed door. Placing
his hat upon the table, he thus address
ed the referees:
"Gentlemen, have one duty to per-
ftssai, unpleasant, but one which, as a
pks4anthropist, | deem necessary.
,'.Gentlemen, you have suffered thus
far filxough life by not having any one
to tell you your real characters. | will
do it, that you may hereafter benefit by
it.
"First-Deacon White, you are
representative of thatclass of which the
world is full, and which the world des
.pise-you are ahypocrite. You will
kneel beside your brother in prayer,
and, in the act, rob him of his wallet;
you-I despisc.
you, Squire Taylor, belong to an
other class, not SO numerous. You
are profeSsed 'scoundrcL; you cheat
man, and then laugh at him. Iadmire
you, for l always know where to find
you; you are open and bold in mi
guilty.
"And, as for you-(pointing his fin
ger, and with look Of inefable scorn)
Capt. Rudd, you are an old FOOL to be
nosed about by two such precious
.scoundreIs as Deacon w. and Squire
T."

WASHINGTON, March 4


The letter OF Gov. Houston TO the President
mas not been. but may soon be made public
in reference to the resolution Of both branch
ee u Congress, calling for information in r.
lation TO the troubles along the Texas bor.
dsrs 1t s understood however, that Gov.
Houston, among other things, represents the
existence OF actual war. and urges immediate e
succor, and indicates his intention to call out
volunteers sufficient to pursue and punish the
enemy to the fullest extent. IL Is known from
the lates. Texas dates that he is vigorously
prosecuting his plans to the letter.
A repl, has been sent by the President, who,
there is reason to believe, Is opposed to this in
dependent course, in wsging war, especially ae
our affairs with Mexico are in "a critical cobdi.
ton, and as orders have been dispa;chet for
the marching Of large bodies Of troops TO the
frontier and the instructions are ot such q
character, TO accomplish the jects con pla-
ed, without unnecessary delay. Gov Houston
has been 80 informed by the President, also
that the calling out Of volunteers, il for the
purpose m, ntioned, properly devolves upon
Congress. No preliminary order has been is-
sued by our government for the forces to
pass into the Mexican Territories The Cor
stitutional government last summer gave per-
mission for the landing OF naval forces at sever

erty Of oil citizens
