One of the steamships from Boston to
Liverpool took to Europe, on Tuesday last,
one hundred and fifty live beef cattle for
the English markets. These beeves that
have roamed and fatted upon the Texas
prairies will, perhaps, afford a new epicur-
can sensation to the palate of the average
Englishman and the honors awarded to
the roast beef of Old England may here
after have to be divided

AT Baltimore on Saturday, three suits
for libel against the Baltimore american
were begun by Gov. Groome, State Treas
urer Compton and State Comptroller Wool
luId, who compose the Board of Public
Works. They allege that recent articles
in the american, relative to the purchase
of the site for and award of the contract
for the erection of the House of Correction
reflect upon their characters as public Off
GERS, and they claim each $25, 900 damages.

The English Commission to the Gen.
tennial Exhibition have broken ground for
the erection of their buildings, four in num-
Der, in Paramount Park. England is the
first foreign nation to commence building
operations. The Japanese Commission,
now in the city, are preparing to build,
and structures will shortly be commenced
for Sweden and Morocco. Austria's Off
cial requirement for exhibiting space was
been received Thursday by cable, and calls
for nearly thirty four thousand square feet
in the main building, and over twenty one
thousand i'll the art gallery. This is an
increase of one third over the original res

Prof Donaldson, accompanied by re-
porter, made an ascension in his balloon
from Chicago, on Friday last, and in his
trip is supposed to have encountered a
severe storm on Lake Michigan, and been
lost, as no tidings have since been had of
the aronauts. Mr.. Donaldson had made
more than three hundred ascents from the
principal cities of the Northern and West
ern States. When Barnum's hippodrome
was in Baltimore he made several excur-
sions in the air, marked by his usual skill
and GOODNESS, and accompanied by report
ers and Others. On one occasion, it will he
remembered, he landed few miles north
of us, and came here on his return to the
city.
The extraordinary decline in the prices
of cotton goods has proceeded so far that
it has enabled our manufacturers to court
trade that a few years ago they would
never have dreamed of. Prices are now so
low, and the American demand for goods
so slack, that it is found that some manu-
features of cotton can actually be shipped
from this country to England for sale there.
The enterprise is being attempted in some
quarters, and the result will be awaited
with interest. Success has attended a
similar enterprise with some iron manufac-
lures, and prices have been brought so
nearly together on the opposite sides of
the ocean as to almost stop English export
to this country. Five years ago such an
achievement would have been thought alto
gether out Of the question.
The Public Confidence Well Placed.

prominent among lHtse Is Stomach Bit

medical profession, and s led by press and public

with good reason, since to the weakened stomach it
