AN UNLUCKY ENGLISH NoBL EMAN. "A
London correspondent writes as follows of Lord
Hastings, whose great losses on the English
turf are well known The letter was written
prior to the last Derby, which, it will be re-
membered, added another to the many defeats
Of the "noble Lord"
If his horse, now first favorite, Lady Eliza
beth, should not come in first, he is net only a
ruined man, but he will be branded as defaul-
ter all over England. The story of his misfor-
tunes-for so we will call tbem-sa long and
gloomy one, and last year saw the climax of
them-unless next Wednesday is to cast him
down yet deeper abyss. On the Derby of
last year Lord Hastings lost 9l00, 000-$500,-
600, gold He said it, and in October of that
year he lost an additional sum of 949 900,
owing to the unexpected failure of Lady Eliza,
beth, who mad won everything but the one
race on which her owner had SO vast stake at
issue.
On third race he lost 10000, and this
broke him down. He has not yet been able to
pay these debts, and hence he has been assailed
in desperate terms and his affairs made known
to the world There is good deal of sym
patty felt for Lord Hastings,b on account of
circumstances which could not be described
without lifting the veil from private life more
than would be justiGable even in tehse loose
days. If Lady Elizabeth wins next Wednes-
day Lord Hastings is saved; and let us hope
he will prove that the bitter lesson he has re-
eeived will not be without its due effect upon
him. He is even now only 26 years Of age,
and you may remember that he married the
Lady Flora Paget, who was engaged to Mr..
Chaplain, and preferred at the last moment to
walk out of milliner' S shop to meet the owner
of Lady Elizabeth The stories of romance are
not wilder than have been the incidents of this
young nobleman's lite.
TT Row turns out, and we have the state
ment on very good authority, that the Mar
quis Of Hastings won $1,000 by the Derby,
instead of losing 200, 1000, as he was at first re-
ported to have done.

Mr.. LOGAN ON THE CITY OF WASHINGTON.
Pending the consideration Of public business
in the House on Saturday, Mr.. John A. Logan
he who represents the State Of Illinois at
arge-rose in bis place, and in voice unusu-
ally low and serious, evidcncing q subject Of
great Importance, and attracting the attention
of the whole House by its pantiveness, ad-
dressed MIR Speaker" The manner of "the
gentleman at large" from Illinois, and his sol
emn tone, very naturally induced the belief that
something serious was coming. The silence
was oppressive, when Mr.. Logan ''opened his
mouth and spake,' in substance, as follows:
"Mr. Speaker, | do not wish to take up the
time of the House, but [ give notice that on
Monday next shall offer a resolution author
izing the appointment Of committee to locate
the capital OF the United States elsewhere, on
account of the manifest disregard of the laws
OF the United States, and the continued evi-
dences of disloyalty, on the part Of the people
of this city"
Having relieved his mind, Mr.. Logan sat
down, and smile OF derision was perccptible
upon the faces OF even his Radical colleagues.
CHANGE IN AGRICULTURAL SYSTEM.-Thc
agricultural interests of the Southern States
are undergoing a change. The fruits and vege-
tables peculiar TO May and juno in this lati-
tude, can be matured in Alabama, Mississippi
and Southern Tennessee in March and April,
and they can be transported by railroad with
sufficient expedition to give strawberries, toma-
toes, potatoes, peas, beans cabbage, and onions
to the leading markets OF Ohio Indiana, Lii.
nois, Missouri and Iowa, month to six weeks
in advance The Directors of the Mobile and
Ohio Railway, seeing this feature developing,
have placed fruit train on their road, ito
give the pole the product Of the sun = and We
may look for g development Of this feature,
now only in its incipient stage, which will be-
come one of great magnitude Men from the
Northern States, who have settled in the South
on the line of the Mobile and Ohio Railway,
have already shown that even strawberries arc
more profitable than corn or cotton, and that
cabbage, potatoes and cucumbers can be made
to pay the prime cost Of these rich aluvial
lands in one season. "
At a recent sitting Of the French Academy
of Sciences, member read paper on the in

asserting that the heated surface generated

use of such stoves fevers were produced, bear
ing analogy to those generated by marsh gas.
