Yellow fever lias appeared at Baton Rouge, Bayou Sara, the parish of St. Mary, and various other parts of Louisiana. Cholera has also broken out among the slaves on the plantation of Connelly & Bailey, Terrebonne, La.

Up to the 29th of August, there had arrived at New York only 93,106 imigrants, against 209,414, for the corresponding period last year—showing a falling off in numbers of more than one half.

Mrs. Hayne (Julia Dean,) it is said, has fixed upon Chicago, as a place of permanent residence. A paper of that city says that she will be attached to Mr. Rice's theatre* She is at present at Niagara Falls.

The boilers at the Clinton paper mills at Steubenville, exploded on Friday night with a tremendous report. A German named Frank Siambaugh was horribly scalded. The mills were the property of T. Hanna & Sons. Loss about 8*,000.

From the Cin. Price Current of the 5th. HOGS.—- We hear of no movement in the Market for lioga. Packers are not desirous to make contracts, except to a very limited extent, and for early delivery. Hogs for December are freely ffered at 86 net, without, finding purchasers. The excessively large growing crop of corn, with the prospective high price of hogs, is expected to produce an amount of meat in the "West, larger than last year. Notwithstanding the deficiency that is supposed to exist in the supply of Btock hogs.

A LIFE OF TOIL.—A Wilmington, Del., paper says an Irish weaver named John Brown, who emigrated to America in the year 1794, and set up his loom in Wilmington, in the same place it now accupies, has ever since been engaged in weaving carpets there, and still continues it, as happy as the day is long, after a lapse of 61 years.

SALE OF WHITE SULPHUR.-—The Richmond Despatch is informed that the Greenbrier (Va.) White Sulphur, together with the large tract of land attached to it, has been sold for the sum of 8760,000. The names of the purchasers are not given, but it is conjectured that the purchase is made by a Northern Company. One rumor is that some Enghsh capitalists have a hand in it.

DUBUQUE & PACIFIC R. R.—Last Monday, Dubuque decided, by a large majority, to take additional stock to the amount of 8100,000 in the "Dubuque and Pacific Railroad/' This condition being complied with, the building of ten miles of the east end of the road is soon,to be contri^d jpt^MUtoaukie Sentinel, r-frh «,•*.

The Ancient Embankment of the r. Themes. The embankment of tlhe Themes, a most gigantic work, was, although we have no particular account, executed, or at least directed by the Romansi—" Few of the} thousands who enter the Thames think that the great stream on which vessels of the largest sice are afloat, is in fact an artificial canal, raised in many places considerably. above the letelof the surrounding country.—It is a wonderful work, and it is singular that we should have no record of its first execution. The artificial bank of the river extends, either on one side of the river or the other, almost from the Nore to Richmond in Surrey, and some judgment may be formed of its magnitude by the difficulty of reoairing a breach made by a high and violent tide at Dagenham, in Esseq.

On this occasion (1.707) a breach was made in this bank of the river of 100 yards wide and nearly 20 feet deep by which alarming accident 1,000 acres of rich land in Dagenham level were overflowed, and nearly ISO acres of land washed into the Thames, forming a sand bank a mile in length that extended over one half of the chabnel. After several unsuccessful attempts, Capt. Perry, who had been employed in similar works by the Czar Peter, in Russia, at an enormous expense, and with much difficulty, completed a wallpr5 It is difficult to estimate the advantages of the Thames embankment. After that was completed, many districts would be gradually gained from the waters and Thorney Island (the sight of Westminister Abbey,) a similar piece, partly covered with scrubby bushes, and on which, at an early period, a hermit es tablished his cell, extended in various directions. Southwick also increased but then Lambeth, Vauxhall and Battersea, now qccupied by so many thou sands, weice under water, as was the greater portion of the land from Wands worth to Woolwich, to Dartford, to Gravesend, and to Sheerness and from north range from Polar to the Isle of Dogs. Scores of miles of that waste are now covered by multitudes, or converted into rich pastures or com fields.—The Builder

COFFEE.—Louis XIV., wishing to introduce the eulture of coffee in his West India Island, sent a naval officer with a few plants to distant Martinique. The voyage proved tedious, the ship lay be-calmed, and the officer had to sacrifice a portion of his own scant ration of water to preserve one precious plant from destructian. In this he succeeded and thus, it is said, all the million of trees now raised in the West Indies and Brazil descended from this single plant. If this is true the greater part of the six hundred millions of pounds which is now consumed is derived from a little plant raised in a Botanical garden in Paris.

A Large Farm.

The N. Y. Evening Post, noticing the progress of Col. Kinney's expedition to Central America:

The Col. has become a very large landholder since he arrived there, as our correspondent reports, having pur* chased no less than 30,000,000 aores, with 200 miles of sea coast. It is the same tract that was originally granted by Shephard and Harley to Senator Cooper, Wm. Cost Johnsou, J. L. White, of this city, and others, but the conveyance became void in consequence of the grantees failing to comply with some of the stipulated condi-

Between fifteen and sixteen

thousand reaping machines, it is said, will be manufactured and sold this year in our country. The demand is so great that manufacturers cannot make them fast enough fof their orders. This affords evidence of agricultural prosperity, as the cost of these machines will amount to nearly 82,000,000.
