1UKON" Humboldt. In connection with an extract
f una letter of an American, dated at Berlin, which
2c published last week, the followicg paragraph
from a foreign paper respecting the age cf .Baron
jluuiboldt, will be interesting to our reader ' Truly
;s he a wonderful man :
S r, iron Humboldt attained his 87th birthday on
Sunday, the loth inst., (Sept.,)-which he passed in
quiet retirement. It will be gratifying to the many
fl imirors of the ' Nestor of Science in England, to
hear that he finds it expedient to withdraw some
whit from the more noisy exhibitions of society; he
remains intellectually fresh and vigorous in the en
joyment of his honored green old age."
COSSnitACY TO ASSASSIXATK TI1K E.MrEItOB, Nxro-
leon. The following is from the letter from the Paris
correspondent of the London Times, dated Wednes
day, the 17th: "Thrre was an unusual stir last
night at the-Prefecture of Police and the prison of
M izas, owing to the arrest of about thirty persons
lieloning to a secret society. This society, composed
,f revolutionists of the most violent and dangerous
lirul, held a meeting j-cstcrd.iy, at which it is said
that it was decided to assassinate the Emperor on his
return from Biarritz. I understand that the police
know all the members of this society, most of whom
nre old members of Marianne, inhabiting the Cth,
7th and 8th arrondissnients of Paris. The majority of
them arc artizans."
Interesting to Seamen A New Plan for Reef
ing Topsails. Mr. Boss, of New York, lias recently
coeured a patent fur reducing and reefing topsails.
The plan is very simple. Pour legs, or a crow's foot,
arc spread along the fioot of the sail and secured to
if, two "on each side of amidships, and are sewed to
the sail up to the close-reef band, where they termi
nate in eyes. To these eyes four ropes are bent,
which reve through f lirlcaders on the yard, and
thence through blocks, at the masthead, to the deck.
When the sail is required to be reefed, these ropes
nre hauled taut, the topsail halliards let go, and the
sail is brought bodily up to the yard and confined
there. The slack of the reef-tackles is then hauled in ;
and the sail is almost as snug as if it were close
rccfed. The work of hauling out the carings, and
knotting the points is then comparatively easy,
This plan, it is thought, will soon do away with
nouoie topsau yarns. iir. is. j. .Martin is now in
Boston, fitting the sails of four ships with this plan.
J he death of Sir John Rossis announced in the
Liverpool Port of the 4th inst. This erallant Arctic
voyager entered the navy as fir back as 1780, and
during the late war was constantly engaged actively
His most important services were rendered in the
Arctic regions, where, in 1818, he proceeded along
with Sir V. E. Parry. In the Driver he proceeded
for the purpose of exploring Baffin's Bay, and in
quiring into the possibility of a Northwest passage.
The results of his investigations arc detailed by Capt.
Ross, in his ' Voyage of Discovery," published in
1818. lie was Afterwards, from May, 182V, until
October, 1803, employed in the Victory steamer, on
a fresh expedition to the Arctic regions, equipped at
the expense of the present Sir Felix Booth. He re
ceived the honor of knighthood, together with the
Companionship of the Bath, Dec. 24, 1834. On
March 8, 183',, he was appointed Consul at Stock
holm, where he remained several years. During the
war, Sir John Ross, in three different actions, was
thirteen times wounded. He had been honored with
election as knight in several foreign orders, and was
. the author cf two or three works on navigation, &c.
MrsiCAi. Engine. The mil-day train from "Wor
cester to Providence, was lately accompanied by the
music of God lard's steam Calliope Whistle, and
created a great sensation along the line of the road
find at Providence, according to the Providence Tran
script. The machine was 8 or 10 feet in length, and
was carried on a separate car, an extra engine being
furnished to supply it with steam. It worked admira
bly, and played several popular airs to a -great crowd
of listeners in Providence.
The old traditions arc, that the rose sprang from
the blood of Adonis that it was white and scentless
till Venus trod upon one of its thorns, and, with her
- lUcd,, gave at, color and .scent. J here is a poetical
tradition, that Lupid gave color to the "blush rose,"
by holding it to Psvche's cheek. The fanciful origin
of the rose, as given by Maundeville, is, that slander
had brought a fair maiden of Bethlehem to the stake
nnd that at her prayer Heaven quenched the fire, and
turned all the brands into rose-trees, bearing white
nnd red roses, the first that ever any man saughe."
An immense crowd (says Galignani's Messenger)
was assembled on Tuesday afternoon, on the bridges
and quays of the Seine, to witness the movements of
n well-tlresseu man who was walking on the river,
between Pont du Carousal and the lock of the Mint,
apparently with the greatest ease. He had each foot
in a small triangular box, securely fastened with
straps round his legs, and in his hands he carried a
long balancing pole, similar to those used by rope-
dancers, except that at each end was attached a large
inflated bladder. When getting off his balance, he
dipped the end of the pole, and the resistance caused
by the bladder touching the water, restcred him to
Ins equilibrium.
Moscow. 1 here is not lung in the world," say,
Mr. Russell, the London Times correspondent, "like
Moscow but itself. Perha s some of those vas
Chinese cities in the interior of the Flowery Kingdom
of whose extent and population one hears such wond
rous stories, may resemble the enormous metropolis,
which, with miraculous patience, perseverance, and
celerity, the Russians have erected, in less than half
a century, on the ruins and amid the ashes of their
nncicnt capital. When the blackened and shattered
walls of the Kremlin, a few stone houses, and the
shells of descrated churches were all that was left of
Moscow, the popular will, guided by the Czar and
the nobility, resolved that a fairer and a nobler city
should spring up in the midst of the waste, on the
identical spot where Napoleon imagined he had struck
Russia to the heart. And thus, with loftier spires
and ampler cupolas, in larger proportions and more
profuse elaboration, churches, palaces, royal and
princely mansions this miraculous capital, the cen
ter of the Russian's faith, of his history, again stood
on the plain of Mosko. following their instinct and
their national characteristics, they scarcely sought to
improve on the ways of their ancestors, and the forms
and directions of the old streets were preserved almost
intact ; so that the tortuous Tartar thoroughfares are
still visible in their type in the best quarters of the
new city. All the eccentricities of Byzantine archi
" tecture are here developed and varied with tradition
ary skill. ; The wild Tartars, who could not perpetu
ate their faith, have given, at least to the church of
Russia, some outward and visible signs of their reli
gion, and the mosque and the Greek chapel are here
present, as it were, in perpetual silent conflict."
The Whaler W. F. Safford in Cork Harbor.
Captain i?ois' JVhale Shooter. Among the numer-
ous arrivals to our harbor from all parts of the world,
it is seldom that the flag of an American whaleship
floats opposite Queenstown. A whale-fishing brig,
called the IV. F. Sqffbrd, 172 tons, belonging to New
York, arrived at Queenstown on Friday last, from
Nova Zenibla. On her voyage, which was merely an
'experimental trip, she captured three whales, from
which nearly eight tons of oil have been obtained.
" A new system has been introduced, by which it would
seem that this valuable animal is more surely, safely
and speedily destroyed than by the old means ; and
we understand that the credit of introducing the
present inode belongs to the captain of the IV. F.
Safford. Instead ot being harpooned as formerly a
course that was both dangerous to life ana uncertain
in the result the fish are now shot, and after the
ball enters the flesh it explodes in the body, on much
the same principle as a shell. The effect of the explo
sion is generally -to shatter that Dortion of the hsh
where it has entered, and it seldom fails to reach a
vital part. Captain Boys, the master of the whaler,
is at present in Birmingham, where he is having some
guns of a peculiar construction made, which he ex
pects will be highly effective in the capture of those
fish. As we stated, Captain Roys is at present merely
engaged in an experimental trip, and his ship is at
present in Cork harbor for the purpose of enabling
him to judge of its suitability as a place of despatch
for the fishing grounds. . It is hfs intention in the
summer months to fish in the North Seas, and in the
winter to visit the coast of Patagonia, and he is an
xious to ascertain whether this harbor would suit him
as an intermediate port at which he might fit and re
plenish his stores. We believe it is the intention of
Captain Roys to apply for patents for invention to the
English and American Governments. Cor A: Exam

The Trans-Atlantic Telegraph.--The "Ancnc."
Lying at anchor off Queenstown for the last few
days must have been observed a small, unsightly, ill
painted, rusty-bottomed screw steamer, without one
point of attraction about her, except the stars and
stripes fluttering in the breeze. Yet that boat and
some of the officers she contains have been the world's
wonder for a season, and have just now concluded a
task which is the forerunner of an event more wonder
ful still.
The Arctic was the vessel that was sent to rescue
Dr. Kane, who had previously been sent to rescue
Franklin. She was successful, and brought home
Dr. Kane and his crew, who had been obliged to
abandon his ship and search. She was then a light
ship on the American coast. She is now the bearer of
Lieutenant Strain, of Darien notoriety, and Captain
Berrimax, who has before, and now again, crossed
from Newfoundland to take soundings of the whole
Atlantic from St. John's to Valencia, with the view to
ascertain the probable success with which a telegraphic
cable may be laid between these points. The result
is satistactory.
For some 50 or CO miles from St. John's, and again
on this side, is a bank varying from 25 to 120 fathoms.
llctwecn these there is a plateau nearly level, the bot
tom soft, composed of shells so fine that only the mi
croscope can discover them, each shell perfect in its
minute beauty, proving the absence of currents at
the bottom, and, with due deference to Stephenson
and others, the want of that vast pressure, which
was to be so dreaded, and exhibiting at every point
not only a capacity, but the most perfect capacity,
for the very use for which it is required. The whole
apparatus for arriving at these facts, is most perfect.
Steam-power, separate from that of the ship, works
the axle from which the sounding-line is " paid out."
Soundings have been taken to the depth of 27,000
fathoms. By a neat contrivance each sounding shows
not only the depth, but the nature of the bottom,
which is brought up in five quills, and the tempera
ture of the water, the latter being given by the ex
pansion or contraction of metallic spiral ribands
placed round a center pin, fitted at the top. and at
tached at bottom to a needle and indicator, the latter
remaining fixed after the first ha3 ceased to act,
showing the exact variation between the surface and
the bottom. Most careful drawings have been made
by Mr. Van Den Btcito (to whom has been assigned
the special post of draughtsman) of the soundings,
showing a profile of the bottom of the sea with the
greatest accuracy.
There can be no doubt that telegraphic communi
cations between Ireland and St. John's, a distance of
1,010 geographical miles, maybe reached as a cer
tainty. It is in the hands of a small American com
pany; but, though small, if its members possess but
a tithe of the energy of their representative, Mr.
Cyrus A . Field, who is also here making every in
quiry, it will be enough t overcome every difficulty.
Captain Bcrrirnan laughs at laying the cable. lie
asks but a ship large enough, and he will undertake
o do it at ten miles an hour right across, lhe com
pany have already obtained the sole grant for erect
ing telegraphs through the whole of Newfoundland,
and have already some 1,700 miles at work, or will
have in a few days, which is in connection with the
American lines. Cork Constitution.

To persons mailing Letters for California and the Terri
torics of H'ashinyton nnd Oregon .-Thousands of letters sent
to the PacHic coast become dead letters. To remedy this evil
the Post OtTice Department, under the authority of Congress, has
adopted bs an auxiliary to its operations the following plan for
simultaneously publishing at each and every post office in tho
Pacific region, in a list called " Pacific Mail List," the names of
persons to whom letters have been sent by mail to post offices in
rniifnrnia ami the Territories of Washington and Oregon. By
this svstem, a letter may be sent to any post office in the Pacific
region for a person whose location is unknown, save the mero
fact that be is somewhere in California or the Territoiies of
Oregon and Washington ; if the letter he published in the racpc
Mail List, its ultimate reception vy tne person lor wuorauw
intendid will be rendered highly probable. To enable those tfho
may desire to extend to their ravine correspondents the advan
tages thus oueren, trie loiiowing illustration is given :
Suppose it is wished to send to me aacramento post onice a
letter for George Wilson, who emigrated to California from Piko
county, Missouri, but it is feared that he may have changed hi
location, and hence may not receive the letter. In this case,
direct the letter to George Wilson, (late of Pike county, Missouri(
Sacramento, California. Then, in order to publish the letter in
the Pacific Mail List, copy the address of the letter upon a
piece of paper or card, and enclose the car l, together witn a
three-cent postage stamp, in an envelope 10 tne j-acinc jurit
List, N. 1. leposit the letter, as usual, in the man ior i.au-
f rnia, and at the same time drop the envelope,
card to publish the letter, iu the mail for Ne
the address on the card thus received at the New
coniaininrf ine
miblisn the letter. 111 tne man ior iew ioik. inmi
the address on the card thus received at the New York post office
the name, G'jorce Wilson, will be entered in its appropriate place
in tne racyie jyiaii iisi, wnicn is jrmtea uuu scuv man w
each and every postmaster in California and the lemtones or
Oregon and Washington, and by them posted in a conspicuous
place iu their respective offices. The list thus being distributed
over the entire Pacific r?gion, George Wilson may at once learn
from it that a letter for him has been sent to the Sacramento
post office. No person cf a similar name will receive the letter,
fr the address on it points out that it is intended for George
Wilson, late of Pike county. Missouri. Thus many Ptterswill,
be received that would otherwise be transmitted to the dead
letter office.
Thf envelopes containing the advertising cards sent to the
Tacitic Mail List, New York, pay postage like ordinary mail
matter, and must be pre-pai 1. The address of letters copied
on the pieces of paper or cards should be written in a plain and
distinct manner. The three-cent joslage stamp enclosed in tho
envelopes defray the expenses of publication, and must HOT be
pasted to the cards, but simply enclosed witn mem. in tne ao
sence ol postage stamps, inree-reni cms may ne fcuwsuiui'.-u,
It is bt lieved that this circular has been drawn up so explicitly
as to require no explanations ; but should this prove not to le
the case, postmasters will taue notice mat an interrogatories
must be addressed to the Pacific Mail List, New York, and not
to the department.
The first of this series of lists will accompany the mail of May
5th, and will be forwarded by each succeeding mail.
