New Hotel Projected.

We learn that in consequence of the i'm
mense business at the watering places along
the line of the New Orleans, Mobile and
Texas railroad, and the imperative demand
for more hotel accommodations, it is pro
posed, by several of our capitalists and
BUSINESS men, to create joint stock COM
pany for the erection of hotel, at Bay St.
Louis, capable of accommodating from
three to five hundred guests.
The grounds proposed are ample in space,
adorned by nature, Immediately on the
gulf coast, and of easy access, either by
railroad or steamboat. The project looks
eminersly feasible, and we are promised
further details of the plan in few days.
New Orleans can have her own watering
places, pleasant and agreeable, to serve
instead of the distant watering places, in
volving great expense TO reach them.

! Proposed Title and Powers of Thiers-
Long and Exciting C0urfmarfiai Ses-
sions-Insurgent Fires Raging in Al
gerta-Oppositions TO Preiongati0n of
Thiers' Term.
PARIS, August 12.-President Theirs re-
| piled to deputation of the Paris council,
urging the removal of the Assembly to
Paris, that the question rested with the
Assembly, untrammeled by his action
In the Assembly to-day, NJ. Kiret, of the
left centre, moved that the title of Presi-
dent of the Republic be conferred upon NJ.
Theirs; that all powers which he has here
tofore exercised as chief executive be pro-
longed for the period of three years; that
he, moreover, be intrusted with the promul-
cation and execution OF the laws; that he
be authorized to receive ambassadors; that
his official residence be at the place where
the Assembly may sit: that he may be
lodged. at the expense of the republic, his
remuneration to be fixed at a later date;
that he shall have the right to appoint
members of the council of ministers, diplo-
matte agents and military and naval COM
manders, and that ministers appointed by
him shall be responsible for their acts to the
Assembly.
NJ. Adler, of the right, made certain mo-
tiops expressing confidence in NJ. Theirs,
and continuing his present powers.
President Theirs, who was present, asked
for a vote of urgency on both propositions,
and amfid great excitement, they were de-
clared urgent.
The courtinartial holds long and exciting
sessions daily, and the trial of leading COM
munists is progressing as rapidly as possible,
when a large number of witnesses have
been summoned. The evidence for the past
two days has contained nothing new.
The fires set by the insurgents continue
to rage in the forests of Algeria.
The opposition to prolongation of
Thiers' term of Office is said to be growing
rapidly in the Assembly and among the
people.

From Mr.. Bonzano, Administrator Of
Assessments, we learn that early in the
forenoon, every day, his office is thronged
with applicants seeking information as to
whether there is any excess in their assess
ments. In very few cases it is found
that the amounts taxed are short of the le-
gitimate dues. With regard to persons re-
siding in the lately overfowed districts, the
administratsr and his assistants, are doing
all in their power to reduce the assessments
in proportion to damages incurred from the
high water, SO as to ameliorate the condition
of the sufferers by tightening their burdens

The drawing up of the case for the British

The financial events of the week were
unusually varied and important. Among
recovery of gold, the depression of sterling,
| the. advance of governments, and increased
activity and upward tendency of specu-
lation.
A London letter says the Emperor of
Brazil still Intends TO visit the United
States. The Herald says Catacazy has
been recalled at the request of Fish. An
interviewer says Frank Blair prefers Gratz
Brown for President. Another of the West
field victims has loated ashore.
The Ere1aiRg Post says it is confidently
stated, on the authority of the officials of
the Union Pacific Railroad Company, that
contract, agreeing TO the consolidation of
interests with the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company, was actually signed by some
officers last evening, and reported to be
ratified today. While no positive terms of
the agreement have yet been developed, it
is believed one of the results will be dis
continuance of the passenger traffic by
steamship line, and transfer considerable
amount of the patronage to the railroad line.
AS negotiations have not yet closed, no
further particulars can yet be obtained
A manifesto from Mazzni to the work
ingmen OF Italy is published. He advises
his countrymen to keep aloof from the in
ternational society of workingmen, an Or
ganization which he affects to despise, de-
noances as impracticable in all its aims, and
wanting in the elements which could make
it successful. 1t is irreEgious, devoid of
nationality and false in its teachings
regarding the acquisition of wealth or
the holding of property. This society, which
aims to control the vast multitude, must
according to Mszzlni, fail.
Matamoras advices of the sixth instant
say Palacioees, commanding the city, and
Cortina, commanding the line of the Rio
Grande, are quarreling over the depreda-
tiOns committed on the American side.
A collision is feared, and preparations are
making for it.

SOME PUMPKIN.-As an evidence of what
effect Stern's fertilizer will have upon veg
citation, that magnificent specimen of a
pumpkin exhibited at present in Lillien-
that's window, on Canal street, is pointed
to with pride. 1t was grown from seed
brought from Spain by gentleman Sesiding
on Esplanade street, near Claiborne, and
we are told SO far excels anything of the
same variety In size and beauty, that it ex-
cited his astonishment in the highest de-
gree. The size of the pumpkins of this
variety is usually-we are informed-about
that of our Kershaw. This one, thanks to
Stern's fertilizer, reaches the mammoth
proportions of five feet three inches in cir
cumferance, and weighs eighty-fve pounds.
But its size is not its only remarkable fea-
ture. 1t is no less beautiful than great. Of
brilliant gamboge hue, it is mottled all
over with rich bronze spots, which produce
an effect both original and beautiful.
Truly, no one can hereafter doubt the
virtues of Stern's great fertilizers
