RESTING PLACE OF. LTaHT HoRsk HARRY
LEE.-A letter from Fernandina to Ial'ahas-
sac paper says ga baronial mansion erected
on Numberland Island is known as "Dungen-
ness It was once the estate of Major Gen
eral Nathaniel Green, of revolutionary fame
Here in the rustic burial place of the estate
repose the ashes of his wife aud daughter, aud
of that distinguished Virginian, Light Horse
Harry Lee, father Of General Robert E. Lee.
At the eaking out of the war Dungenness
was charming place. its dependent grounds
we're adorned with olive and orange groves,
aad sh1ubbery in endless variety from every
quarter of the globe Here the date pa I'm Of
Arabia might be seen growing in oriental
stateliness by the side Of Palestine's golden
acacias. Its proprietor, gentleman Of fortune
and culture, whose hospitality was princely,
left the estate in the charge of servants wheG
the Federal forces took Fernandina. Servants,
library, paintings, furniture soon disappeared.
Then the house remained awhile tenantless. =
At length many families OF freedmen took up
their abode in its deserted halls, subsisting
meanwhile by the manufacture of olive oil and
Indifferent gardening. Not long ago it was re-
ported, upon what authority [ know not, that
'Dungenness' was to be repaired and refur
nished. The negroes, however, still continued
to occupy it up to last week, when FIRE, accl-
dental or designed, left nothing to mark the
scene Of so many pleasant memories but black
ened walls and smouldt ring ruins.

THE NATIONAL DEBT New York
World makes an estimate by which it appears
that the Federal revenue for last month was
short Of meeting its current outlay and interest
by the sum of $4,000. 900; and at this rate,
instead of eztinguishins cur debt in sixty
years, we are adding to it so AZ that it will be
doubled in twenty years.
This is a pretty serious matter for taxpay
ers, and will stimulate the inquiry as to the
best means to diminish the burthen of taxa
alton. The proposition We mentioned yester-
day, Of substituting government non-interest-
bearing currency for interest bearing bonds
seven-thirties' and fve-tWenties-wonta lind
increased favor in view of such a. project. The
credit of the Government could be employed
effectually in the issue of such currency, and
the people would be saved an immense burthen
Of taxation at least 500, 100000 per annum.
The exhibit of Mr. McCulloch recently pub
lished makes no account of the vast floating
indebtedness of the Government for unsettled
contracts, for outstanding and unclaimed ap-
preparations, for unclaimed bounties and Tor
appropriation and destruction Of private prop.
erty during the war. These items will add
considerably to the burthens OF the people,

The LYRE BIRD.-The London Field says:
We have great pleasure in announcing the ar
rival of a fine, healthy male specimen OF the
Tyre bird (Menura superba) at the geological
Gardens, Regents Park. This bird has not
hitherto been imported alive ipto Europe. 1t
is found only in New South Wales, where it
inhabits the dense scrub and bushes that are
SO characteristic Of that country: In conse-
uuence of the habits of the bird and its ex
treme shyness, it is most difficult to shoot, aud
still more so to obtain alive. The superb Tyre
bird (for there are two other species) is about
the size of fowl; it is of a brown color, and
would not be in any way remarkable were it not
for its extraordinary tail. This mainly consists
of two curved feathers, each about two feet in
length when fully grown; these are SO curved
that they present the exact shape Of an ancient
Tyre Between these curved feathers are others
Of filamentous character, that may be taken,
not inaptly, to represent the strings OF the IN
strument This tail is carried erect when the
bird is excited; but in fleeing through the un, !,
derwood of the bushes it is allowed to tall
horizontally
