Road steamers, or steam carriages upon
common roads, long talked of and frequent
ly but hitherto unsuccessfully experiment
ed upon in this country, have been intro
duced in the streets of Edinburgh with a
promise of permanent success. A patent
omnibus, driven by steam, and adapted to
city streets and to public roads generally,
has been tried sufficiently to create a gen
eral belief that new era of locomotion in
tiat respect has begun. 1t is provided
with elastic wheel-tires, to prevent undue
noise and injury to the pavement, and the
motive power is SO disposed of as to guard
efectually against the danger of alarming
horses, or any other of the risks which at
tend the passage of traction engines
through crowded thoroughfares, being
perfectly under control and capable Of
being regulated as easily and almost as
nicely as watch. A highly satisfactory
trial-trip was made two weeks ago, about
fifty gentlemen occupying the omnibus.

We have noticed the very singular an
nouncement that Rev. Thomas L. Poul-
son is making arrangements for editing
and publishing daily paper at and dur
ing the socalled National Camp Meeting,
at Darlington, Hartford county, Md. which
is to commence on Tuesday, the 18th of
July, and continue ten days. The paper
is to cost so cents to each subscriber, or
five cents for each issue. What can any
one want with newspaper published at
such place? Is it intended as a means
of grace, and will it exert an evangelizing
influence upon its readers How would a
horse-shoeing establishment and a wheel
right shop do at Darlington ? Some ones

driver might have wheel taken off. AT

the men Of the present day, who set uI
their tabernacle in the wilderness, and re.

cares and perplexities of business behind
them. But we fear the clanking of Bro

THE GRAIN PRospEors-Th New York
World of Tuesday, June Dist, says:
The subsidence of the French demand
for -four and wheat has produced great de-
preston in our market. The decline in
wheat is already ten cents per bushel from
the higher figure. Of the receipts only
about one third were sold. Much of the
wheat now arriving is unsound, and must
be forced upon the market or sent to
store. Private accounts from England
and France report the weather showery
and very favorable to wheat-the rain
coming in good time to favor the blooming
season. To add to the complications Of
holders, ocean freights took an upward
turn at the close yesterday; the Liverpool
steamers demanded sixpence for the last
of the week, when large accumulation Of
wheat is expected at this market. The
depression is assisted by large speculative
lines of -four being forced upon the mar.
ket for resale. But English shippers ad
nit that at some decline their wants will
be large, and as our surplus is large, anc
prospects favorable, activity will soon b'
renewed.

met with narrow escape from drowning.
The flood gates were up to let off water
and the little fellow was caught by the
eddy and drawn down into the current,
forced through the gates by the surging

the turbulent whirlpool and finally landed
on the shore on the other side of the
gate hole, being but little injured in his
rapid submarine passage from the mill
