A CORRESPONDENT Of the New York Tribune, IRE
ceiyed by the last mai) furnishes an interesting de-
tailed account Of the cruise of the U. 5. S. TuscaTord,
during the time in which she was engaged in obtaining
s~Oundings with reference to laying the Japan cable,
from Cape Flattery puget Sound) to the Aleutian
Islands last fall Aside from the prime objects of
the undertaking, which appear to have been success
fully accomplished, several important scientific re-
suits have been obtained. The survey has discovered
two considerable submarine mountains in the bed Or
the North Pacific, one of which has an elevation
above its surroundings of 1000 feet. A great deal
of information has been obtained respecting the cur
rents Of that ocean, and among other notable facts
established in the demonstration that the California
coast current is n part Of the great g Japan circle
CURRENT described by Capt. Snas Bent sixteen
years ago, and which corresponds in the Pacific to
the Gulf Stream in the Atlantic. The determination
Of this fact was arrived at by a careful comparison
Of very numerous observations on the speed of sur
face, under currents and counter currents and their
comparative temperatures. The full account of the
Tusearora's voyages. both in the North and the
Mid-Pacifc, will, when published, prove of great in
terest and value.

Canned Meats.

In looking over late English journals and scan
ming the market reviews, it IS evident that canned
meats from the Australian colonies are growing in
favor, and prices show q steady advance. At first
they did not take very well; but great improvements
have been made in putting up the meats and oondi-
ments, and now the papers quote the brands Of q
score Of meat-preserving companies. By reducing
the cans to two pounds in lieu Of four pounds, the
demand seems to have been quickly doubled.
We have never yet relinquished The belief that
canned meats may one day figure as an article Of
Hawaiian export, and it may interest our readers
and stimulate cur cattle owners to give a glance at
the variety of the meat productions and the prices
realized. In Lonbn kangaroo meat commands the
highest prices; rabbits next; boiled mutton, Is cents;
boiled mutton, no bone, IA cents; boiled beef, Is
cents; kangaroo, Is cents.
