Force of Gunpowder—The Wilmington Explosion.—Some new facts of interest concerning this
^plosion have been made by Professor Olmstead,
who made particular enquiry for scientific purposes, and read a paper on the subject before the
Scientific Association at Providence.
It will be recollected that the explosion was occasioned by fire irom the cigar of one of the teaih-
atere, while the wagons loaded with powder were
passing through Wilmington. Some ofthe phenomena were surprising : A splinter from a Venetian blind was blown through an inch board, making as smooth a hole as if pointed with steel.
Metals were often displaced; the shoes wero
torn off the officers'feet, castors from furniture,
and hinges from doors, and a wagon tire was torn
oBand straightened, aud cno piece left on a hill a
quarter of a mile off. "Windows were destroyed
for the distauce of more than a mile. Those near
the spot wero burst iu, those further off had the
nearer windows Durst in, tho others out ; those
further off were ail burst out,
A piano open near the spot was little injured ;
one closed, further off, was burst open and nearly
ruined. The effect on the animal system was to
produce a sense of suffocation at first, and afterwards soreness of the throat, and even hemoptysis.
Many were carried some fee*^ and dropped erect.
A man on horseback was lifted out of the saddle
and dropped iuto it again,
1    But the most wondrous effect was exhibited by
three depressions where the wagons had stood.
The one under the middle wagon was ten feet by
five, and three- feet deep.    It appeared  that  the
earth (macadamized) had "not been removed but
condensed.
Prof. Olmstead knew of no instance of greater
power, even in the great  explosion  of Brescia.
where two millions of pounds of powder exploded.
that equalled this.    Iron water pipe3 were broken
four or five feet under ground.
Napoleon III.—Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, the
present Emperor ofthe French, was born on the
20th of April, 1808, at the Tuilleries. His mother was Hortense, Queen of Holland, the wife 0!
Napoleon's broUier Louis, to whom that kingdom
had been assigned. The marriage of Hortense and
Louis was most unfortunate; they did nothing
but quarrel, and in September, 1807, they finally
separated at Amsterdam, and Hortense returned
to her mother in Paris. There the present Em
peror was born, and it is remarkable that he and
the King of Rome were the only two persons 0:
the family of Napoleon, whose births were received with military honors and the homage of thi.
people.
There is ono circumstance connected with the
fate of this family which historians have not ye*
observed, but which is well worth mention. Napoleon the Great set aside his own best friend am]
counsellor, Josephine, to oiuain an hvir to tht
throne of France. He married a Princess of Austria, and by her he had a son. That birth was
the culminating point ofhis power and his digui
ty. From thence he did nothing but descend. He
diedin^-exile—his sou also. Who succeeded to
his name, his fame, his power? The childofllor
tense, who was the child of Josephine! In thi
person of the Emperor oi the French, we find noi
the offspring of Napoleon tho Great, but the oil
spring of his discarded wife. What an illustra
tion of the truth of the adage—1'1 That it is una
ho proposes, but God who disposes!"

The Open Cikcuufol.iiit Sea.—The discovery of
the open Circumpolar Sea appears to have been
made by a Russian officer thirty years ago. This
was Lieut. "Wrangle, who, somewhere about the
year 1824, advanced by sleds across the ice from
the northern coast of Siberia, due north to the
open Bea. Lieut, (now Admiral) Wrangle took
frequent soundings during the trip, and found the
water shallow, with a muddy bottom. The climate became more moderate as he made north
ing. According to his estimate of his position
at the margin ofthe open Polar Ocean, he must
have been near the parallel of 82 degrees north,
1 on which Dr. Kane waa when he saw the same Bea,
almost on the opposite side of the Pole. Lieut.
Wrangle concealed provisions in the ice as he advanced, which he cut out for supplies on his return. The party slept in lodges warmed by a
spirit-lamp, which also cooked their meals. Their
Bofferiiigs were n>t as great as those of the land
parties that have gone out frcm the British exploring ships.
"Mason and Dixon's Line."—Origin of the
Phrase.—In the 17th century, james IL, of England, then the Duke of York, gave certain lands
to Lord Baltimore and William Penn, aud a difficulty soon sprang up as to the proper owner to
these lands on the Delaware. Again and again
was the affair carried into the courts, till in the
1750, when George the Third came to the crown,
the Lord Chancellor made a decision ; but new
difficulties sprang up in drawing the boundary
lines. The commissioners finally employed Messrs. Mason & Dixou, who had just returned from
the Cape of Good Hope, where they had been to
observe the transit of Yeuus. They succeeded in
establishing tbe line between Delaware and Maryland, which has ever siuce been called " Mason &
Dixon's line."—-V. Y. Dispatch.

They tell good stories uow and then, of some Oj
the members of the pious old orthodox stock in
Massachusetts. An elderly gentleman of this class,
returning home on Sunday from'"church; began to
extol the merits of the sermon to his son. The
following short dialogue tells the story:
" 1 have heard, Frank,'"' said the old gentleman,
" one of the most delightful sermons ever delivered before a Christian society. It carried me, to the
gates of heaven."
" Well, i think," replied Frank, "you had better have dodged in, for you will never have such
another chance."'
Pour a convenient quantity of muriatic acid on
the remainder; when stirred aud setUed, pour ii

turbid mixture, and the suspended contents art-

Backhouse gives an instance of a woman having
been chased by oue of these birds for so'tie distance
and obliged to run to a house for shelter. Hewa?
told by tlie wife of a settler that she was one da;
struck bv the action of a horse in an enclosure,
alloping rapidly backwards aud forwards,chaseo
by two eagles. The horse at length fell, wben
one of the birds pounced on its head; sho then
Balled for the assistance of some men, who drove
away the ferocious birds. In Van Dieinan's Land
this species not unfrequcnily carries off living
lambs, and is, in consequence of its ravages, much
dreaded by the colonists.— White's Popular His
tory of Birds.
An exchange paper, the editor of which, no boub!
hits lately "Bet up'1 with a widow, goes off thus:
" For the other half ofa courting match, there is
nothing like a young widow. There's as much
difference between a damsel and an attractive wi
dow as there is in cyphering in addition and the
double rule of three. Courting a girl is like eat
ing fruit, all is very nice as far as it extends ; but
doing the amiable to a blue-eyed, bereaved one in
black crape comes under the htad of preserves—
rich, pungent, syrupy. For delicious comting,
we repeat, give us a live ': widder."
Kid Gloves,—Comparatively few of the im
mense number of gloves sold as "kid," merit
that designation. White dress leather gloves,
both for gentlemen and ladies wear, are very frequently—indeed, most frequently—made of lamb^
ikin. Dark colored leather gloves are frequently
made of lamb skin, dog skin, and calfskin—only
high priced gloves being really made of kid skin
It is stated that many of the Enest ladies' gloves
are manufactured of rat skins. How many a deli
cate lady would shudder at the idea!

From tlie Atlantic States and Eu-
By the Sonora we have dates from New York
to July 5th, and from Europe to the 27th June.
The following ia a summary of the most important domestic news.
Opinions GmJCBBSIng the Vigilance Committee.—A great majority of the leading presses in
the Atlantic States exhibit a just appreciation of
the recent action of the people of San Francisco.
The N. Y. Herald expresses the prevailing senti-
riient concisely in the following paragraph :
It is difficult at this distance to judge of the
motives and passions which may actuate the hostile parties in California. One thing Beems certain : there ia no good ground for collision between the Vigilance Committee and the militia.
The revolution is accomplished; the vagabond
influence is annihilated ; and were the Vigilance
Committee to be disbanded at present, and the supreme power to be resumed by the Governor and
the civic authorities, no mischief would seemingly
he done.- We do not apprehend a collision; though
if such a'thing did happen, it would certainly be
a bloody ahd: a'memorable page in California history.
Attacs upon Returned Califorkunb.—Bill
Mulligan/ cne' cf a* iibtoi^us gang whom the Vigilance Com'mlttee'of San Frt^sco have expelled
from California, made his appearance recently in
this city, having arrived' on boaid the' steamship
Illinois, and soon began fibndndting iff a * nner
similar to that which cost hits banish"'me'nt from
San Francisco. It appears that on Monday evening he met three gentlemen* at the Girard House
who had recently returned* frihV CalifOtnia, and
who, while there, are said to have been' members
of the Vigilance Committee of San Francisco.
On finding these gentlemen, Mulligan at dniie recognized them, and soon he prociiVbd'theaid' of one
Hughes and two or three others of hisown stamp,
and this gang waited for a chance to "'pitch into"
the Vigilance Committee. Soon one ofthe gentlemen crossed the street from the hotel toward
Hope's grocery, when Mulligan rushed at him and
struck him a powerful blow. The gentleman,
seeing the odds against him, and not wishing to
s )il his hands by touching such a scamp, scampered off, and thus far has not appeared to prefer a
complaint against the assailant. Some hours after this occurrence, Hughes, who keeps a rum shop
up town, was seen walking arm in arm with Mulligan in Broadway. It is expected that a large
number of the vagabonds who have been expelled
from San Francisco will come to this city, and unless our police are quite vigilant will get the upper hand of them.—A*. Y. Tiibune.
Appointments for California.—Tho President
has appointed Wm. Blandlng. Esq., of San Francisco, U. S. District Attorney for the northern district of California, vice S. W. Inge. Esq., resigned.
Mr. Godfrey, who was attached to Mr. Inge's office,
has an appointment as Consul toGuayma*, and Mr.
Inge is appointed to visit the City of Mexico to
examine the records there in relation to the Spanish and Mexican land titles in California. He
proceeds thither shortly, and thence to San Fran
cisco. Mr. Gadsden, the U. S. Minister to Mexico,
has returned to his post after a visit to his family
in South Carolina, and au interview with President Fierce. The reported commercial treaty with
Mexico has not yet;' turned up," but a new postal arrangement is more probable. Ex-Governor
Bilger lias declined the appointmect of Minister
to Sweden, which has been again tendered him by
the President since his arrival from California.
Col. Richard Fitzpatrick, of Florida, is appointed
Secretary of Legation to the Argentine Confederation, and it is reported tliat ex-Governor Seymour, of New York, is to be appointed Minister to
France, and that Mr. Mason will shortly return to
this country, having signified, tothe President a
desire to that effect.
Brooks and Herbert.—-Phil. T. Herbert has
been indicted by the Grand Jury of the District of
Columbia and imprisoned to await his trial for the
murder of Keating. The Brooks expulsion case
comes up in the House on the ensuing week. His
assault on Sumner is still under investigation by
the Grand Jury.
Martial Law in Washington Territory.—A
resolution was adopted in the Senate July 1st,
calling on the President for the facts in relation
(o the proclamation of martial law by Governor
Stevens. Gen. Cass stated that Governor Stevens,
of Washington Territory, had proclaimed martial law there, and has arrested a judge of the
District Court and sent him away some distance,
thus closing the court. He did not desire to prejudge the case, but it certainly seemed a great assumption of powar.
Political.—On the 3rd July the bill reported
by Mr. Douglas,-from the Committee on Territories, for settling fhe affairs of Kansas, was passed
— 33 voting in favO"? of', and 12 against it. The
following are its principal features, as we find
them condensed in the New York Herald :
It provides for. the appointment of live Commissioners to be selected [-by the President] from
different sections of'the Union, to represent faiily
all political parties. They shall take a census of
all the legal voters of the Territory, and make a
fair apportionmentof liie delegates to be elected
by each county to form a constitutioilj^nd iusti-
fiutea State government. When the? apportionment shall be made, the Commissioners are to remain in session every day, except Sunday, at a
place most convenifyi!*- for the inhabitants of said
Territory, to hear all complaints, examine witnesses, and correct all errors in said list of voters,
whicli list shall be previously printed- and generally circulated throughout the Territory, and
posted in at least three of the most public places
of each election district; and as soon as all the
errors btivebeen thus corrected in said lists, the
Commissioners are requested to cause a corrected
list of the legal voters to bo printed, and copies
furnished to each Judge of Election to bo put up
at the places of votingy and circulated in every
county in the territory before the day of election
—no person to bo allowed to vote whose name
does not appear on the list as a legal voter ; the
election for delegates to take place on the day of
tlie Presidential election, and the convention to
assemble on the first Monday in December to decide, first, whether it be expedient for Kansas to
come into the Union at that time, and if so decided, to proceed to form a Constitution and State
government, which shall be of republican form.
Kansas then to be admitted under such constitution on an equal footing with the original States.
The bill provides further, that no law shall be eu-
forcedinthe Territory infringing the liberty of
speech, or of the Press, or the right of the people
to bear arms, &c. It also provides punishment for
illegal voting, or fraud and violence at elections,
and authorizes the use ofthe military for that
purpose. The main point is, that the persons designated by the census as the present inbabi£ant3: of
the Territory shall decide all points in dispute at
a lair election, without fraud or violence, or any
other improper influence. All the white male inhabitants over twenty-one years of age are to be
allowed to vote, if they have resided in the Territory three months previous to the day of election,
and no other test shall bo required ; no oath to su p-
port the Fagitite Slave law or any other law. nor
any other condition whatever.
Terrible Calamity and Loss of Life.—Reed
street wharf in Philadelphia gave way on the
evening of July 3d, precipitating a large number
of peisons into the river, and causing the loss of
about 30 lives.
Fourth of July.—The national holiday was
celebrated with the usual military and civic display.*?, and demonstrations of enthusiasm, on the
80th anniversary of that glorious epoch. The accidents in N. York and other points, as far as reported, are rather less in number and severity than
in preceding years.
Six steamers were destroyed by fire at St. Louis,
July 2d : the St. Clatr, Paul Andtrson, Grand
Turk, J. M. Stockwell, Southerner and Saranac.
Loss about $100,000.
A recent boiler explosion at Longwell, Canada,
caused1 the 3eath of 38' persons.
The Emperor of Brazil, a distinguished devotee
to science aud literature, has been created an
honorary member of the New York Historical Society.
Th'e directors of the American Institute hold'
their annual fair at the Crystal Palace, New York,
from'Sept. 20th to Nov. 1st.
Over 56,000'emigrants arrived in New York
during the ten months preceding Sept. 1st, ol
which 13,000 were Irish. 13,000 Germans, and
8,000 English.
Walter James", a son of G. P. R. James, British
Consul at Norfolk, had a difficulty with the ludi-'
ana at Rice Lake,'Waupaca coUUfy, and mutilated
several of ihem. The Indians are on the trail 61
James, and are likely to have their- i*eVen*ge.
The Rhode Island Legislature adjourned July
1st. They adopted resolutions 61 amendment to
the constitution abolishing the registry t&"sf authorising the General Assembly t<J' impose a1 jroil'
tax, as a qualification for suffrage, and to fix the
perdiem of the Legislature at twodollars. Tht-se
resolutions will be submitted to the people on' the
day of the Presidential election; and if adopted
by a voto of three fifths, will become a part of the
constitution of the State.
A New Governor for Kansas.—Washington1,*
June 26—It is rumored that Gen. Persifcr F. Sra'ith
is to be appointed Governor of Kansas.
California Financial Matters.—The interest
on the Stale debt of California was not paid on
the 1st inst. Mr. Bates, the Treafurerof the State,
has assured several persons, in one c^ee as long
ago as early in May, that the money for the interest had been deposited with Messrs. Palmer,
Cook & Go., the agents for paying the interest.—
We shall be glad to have a satisfactory explanation from this house which has thus twice brought
the State of California to financial dishonor. We
learn that hereafter Messrs. Wells, Fargo & Co.
will be the agents for the payment of the State
interest. The Bonds of California are much depressed. Of course, under this second failure to
pay interest, after the ungrateful aud disgraceful'
treatment of Messrs. Duncan,- Sherman &■ Co., who
intervened on a previous occasion for the honor of
the State, no one could be found to come for-^aTd
this occasion.
Wc understand that some drafts of Messrs. Palmer, Cook &. Co. on their agebt here, were protested yesterday.—N. Y. Tiibune.
Congressional.— Judge Collamer made a minority report expressing objections to the bill of
Mr. Douglas.
A bill providing for the immediate admission o!
Kausas as a free State, tinder the free soil constitution, adopted at Topeka, passed tho House of
Representatives on the 3d of July, by a vote of
100 yeas to 97 nays, after having been previously
rejected. The Free Soil party were greatly elated
with its successful passage. Tho Fillmore men all
voted againstit.
Charles Griswold, of New York, has been appointed and coifirmed to be the Consul of the
United States for the port of Manilla, Phillipine
Islands.
Thc Emigrant Road and Millitary Posts.—A
bill appropriating 5200,000 for the construction
of an overland road from Missouri to California,
and the establishment of military posts along the
route, has passed tne Senate by alarge majority.
It will scarcely fail in the House, as all parties
have pledged themselves to such a course in their
platforms, although each is jealous of any advantage another ni'ay gain by its passage now.
Military Defences.—A bill authorizing the issue of an additional number of arms lor the use
of California, passed the Senate on tho 30tu June.
Diplomatic Matters.—The decided action ol
the British Government in favor of a friendly adjustment of the Central American question, and
the retention of Mr. Dallas, remove all anxiety as
to the preservation of peace'.between the. United
States aod England,-and1 fully restore public confidence iu both countries. The British Embassy
at Washington will be re-opened by Mr. Lumsley,
Secretary of Legation, and a successor to Mr.
Crarapton, may be cxpebted; in- a month, or so.
Cnlifo-nilu I.am)  C'lnlliis In  Congress.
The bill before the House, introduced by Mr.'
Herbert and opposed by Mr. DenVi-r. proposes to'
issue patents fo all holders of gi'anU in California,-
the decree confirming which was iaKned' prior to'
January 1st. 185GI- The Bolton & Barron (alias
Santillan) decree tthe Claim inclird'tig about two-
thirds of San Francisco) was dated ^ri^r to 1st of
January, 1856, Thu d'edree cdntiriuirts the title"
of ihe pueblo of San Francisco; wa^ not entered until subsequent to January M. l'8f>G, although the
decision of tbeCqittW?ffldbefa was atindtiQced more'
than a year pteviourj.' The deiree [Cr the Potrerb'
title was entered prior"to January Est, 1856.which
covers aboufr oh" half of San Francisco. In tbe
Polrero Case the Cotnrrlissiohers convSye*3lan'opi-"
nion- ihafi the grant was fraudulent, but that the'
evidence compelled its confirmation. Tn the Bolton & Barron case the grant is impeached for fraud,
involving perjury and' for scry,_ and" thia issue,'
would be made before the U. S. District Cr,urt, and?
was not done hitherto, as being (teemed unnecessary to insure the defeat of tiie claim. The result
ot the proposed legislation ofOcnijrvess is'to give a'
valid title tothe holders or the Bolton & Barron'
claim, Messrs. Palmer, Cook & Co . ami their associates in Philadelphia, against the pueblo title,
which has never been impeached for fraud. At
least forty-six ofthe claims confirmed by the Land;
Commissioners were notoriously fraudulent, and?
based upon forge:.! ii'ipcrs. Thes'o are expected to'
be defeated in the District Court. If patents are
issued for all claims, without aw\iitiiig the process'
of judicial determination, civil war must and will1
ensue. Yet the bill is likely to find a strong gap-"
port in the lower House, and, under the outside'
pressure, may become a law.
EUROPEAN 1VEW8.'
The laiest news is by the Royal Mail Steamship'
Canada, which arrived in Boston on the 3'1 of
July, teu days later than was previously received.
The most important featui'e ofthe newsis"that
there is now a prospect ol the pending difficulty
between Great Britain and the Un'ted States being
soon amicably adjusted.
In the House 61 torch, Lord Clarendon stated'
in reply foa question frbiri Lor'd: Derby, that it
was not the intention of the Government to advise
the Queen to suspend diplomatic relations with
America.    This announcement was loudly cheered.1
Lord Derby expressed his satisfaction, but said
he regarded the Government's course as humili-
tating. and an acknowledgement of error.
Lord Clarendon appealed1 to'the House not to
join Lord Derby in pressing the question, and the
subject was then dropped.
I* he funds immediately ro"*e inconsequence of
the announcement that Mr. Dallas was not to bo

One day 21 persons were marched into Lifford'

France.—Napoleon is taking steps to have tho'
Empress appointed Regent for her son. A pro1"
ject of law on the subject has been sent to the Senate and debated with closed doors. It states that
the Emperor is to attar:vfata majority at I'D' years'
