The young.woman having recovered from the effects of the shot, although the bullet has never been extracted, the charge could only be made of an attempt to take life.

Gigantic Steamers.

We published yesterday among our items of foreign news, an announcement that a contract had been made in England for the construction of a mammoth steamer of upward six hundred feet in length and measuring 12,090 tuns— The idea of a monster ship like this is not original with John Bull. Mr. Burden, of Troy, in this State, a man of wealth and a mechanic of genius, some

years ago suggested the construction of a steamer 700 feet in length and of corresponding depth and width, to run to Europe. Mr. Burden's idea was that it is practicable to contruct [sic] a steamer, which would go across the Atlabnic with as little motion as our Brooklyn ferry steamers run to our sister citv. He proposed that this steamer should draw sev-ehty-five feet of water, and her top be an hundred feet above the water line. The maximum height of the waves of the ocean from the bottom of the sea trough to the crest of the wave is thirty-five feet; hence Mr, Burden concluded that a vessel of seventy five feet draught would always run on a nearly level keel.—

There are but few ports where such a vessel could enter. On our coast, Newport offers the greatest facilities of a good harbor, with ease of access and abundance of water, and here Mr. Burden promised to establish the head quarters of his ship. No steps were ever taken to carry out the majestic idea of our countryman, and it is now broached on the other side of the Atlantic, and measures are taken to secure its realization. The proposed British ship is to be propelled by two sets of side wheels and a screw at the stern, having, we presume, three independent engines and sets of machinery. The experiment of running a steamer of such gigantic proportions will be watched with intense interest. and if successful, will mark a new era in navigation. If such a moving world can be securely and rapidly propelled over the ocenn with little or no more motion than is experienced by our, steam ferry boats, all the world will take to sea travelling, and directly we shall have our own wealthy citizens establishing their summer residences on the shores of the Baltic instead of at Staten or Long Island. This will enable them to live far more retired than they can possibly live in the neighborhood of New York. And not only on the Baltic will the vilas and country seats of citizens arise, but doubtless at Spitzbergen, Archangel, and other cooling retreats in these latitudes. How long shall it be before we can chronicle the laying of a steamer's keel in New York one thousand feet in

Horrible Occurrence in California. A horrible occurrence took place at Stockton early in April, by which two lives were lost, the particulars of which

are as follows:

Mr. Brown, an express man, one particular night, had placed his safe, containing $5,000, in the charge of a clerk, named Morony, who slept with a friend named Bowlin, and with the keyof the safe under his pillow. In the morning the money was gone, but the lock was uninjured. As Morony accused Bowlin of the theft, the latter was arrested and

placed under $5,000 bail to stand trial. A night or two afterwards, as Mr. Brown was crossing from the City Hotel, he was fired at by Bowlin. Two shots were fired, but only one took effect. Mr. Brown having his thigh completely shattered by the first one. This tragic act crcated the greatest excitement at Stockton, and $4,700 was offered as a reward for the capture of the murderer, who made his escape.

Three days afterwards information was given the police that Bowlin had been at Mormon Bar. Two officers started in pursuit. When they came in sight of him and ordered him to surrender, he turned and drew his pistol, and said if they advanced any further, he would shoot the first man that did so.—At that moment he dropped his pistol on the ground, and drank off the contents of a two ounce vial containing prussic acid.

The officers thought that he was coming to meet them as they advanced, but at that moment, he picked up his pistol and started off, and said again that if they advanced upon him he would shoot them. The officers then fired upon him, but did not hit him. He went about 150 yards, but when the officers came up with him he was dying, and ten

minutes afterwords expired. A Stockton paper adds: "Mr. B. was a member of one of the most wealthy and respectable families in Alabama; his character up to the time of this affair had been blameless; his disposition amiable —his friends reputable and numerous. Rather than endure the odium of a public trial, he committed self destruction. Thus has fallen a high-minded and honorable young man. Brown is also dead —each is the victim of the other's error. Let no one say that either is blameless.'" ~~~~~~~

,*yT' I DTOif^af S The past year has been signalized by a remarkable increase in numlji^r of omigrunts acitttiUy sent to Lilierra, as well as. in the increase and diffusion nrnong the colored population of a willingness to emigrate. This is a very gra'.ifying indication of a change in the prospects of African colonisation, and it is greatjy to be wished that this favorable disposition should be encouraged, and thM nothing should occur to check either the emigration or tho desire for it. For many years this important enterprise was suffered to drag along very discouraginglv, bfit few emigrants being sent, and few offering. Yet, in spite of all drawbacks, notwithstanding the paucity of funds', the wide!)' diffused prejudice entertained by the blacks against colonization, hnd the unrelenting hostility of a large class of our own educated citizens, the colony has prospered, its population increased, an enlightened and wisely conducted republican government

ers, who are about sending diplomatic agents thither the republican sway has been extended to include the whole slave coast, the''native tribes havd^been brought to subjection, the foundation of ti navy established, 'and the^/igricultural and commercial recourres of the country liberally stimulated. But, better than all this, the unwilliogness of the American free colored people to emigrate is beginning to give way, and the sympathies and feelings of a large portion of the Community are enlisted for the cause. Thus, at present, all things favor colonization, and if the requisite funds can be

A lew years ago, remarks the Albany Knickerbocker, the Dutch who conquered Holland, resolved that they wouWf add to the fertile ground in the Kingdom by pumping out Harlem Lake—a lake .seventy miles long and twenty broad, and area equal to Lake Champlain.

To carry out the undertaking, three immense engines were constructed in the fall of 1847, although the pumps did not commence till the spring 1848.— Late accounts say-tbejob is nearly com' pleted, the greater part of the bottom being exposed.

To lower the lake one Inch, four million ions ot water had to be lifted. In three years, the lake was lowered 7 feet 8 inches. In December last it was lowered nine feet and a half, and ft is now nearly dry. It is believed that no less than 700,000.000 tons of water have been lilted by the engines since they com menced operations. This i« equal to a mass of solid rock a little more than three square miles and 100 feet high, that is, allowing fifteen cubic feet for a ton.— We can easily sfie what an immense amount of labor the engines performed, and what power there is in coal applied In a state of combustion to water, for the purpose of raising water. Each engine was three hundred and fifty horse power and so economical were their working qualities, that two and a quarter pounds of W.dk-h coal per hour was all the fuel used for each engine.

The Dutch engineers were he any tjtfafilmous for the old windmill, which had been so often employed for the same purpose hut it w»s ascertained by two English engineers that the engines couHd be built and do the work for half the.amount of wind-mills. This has been completely fulfilled.—Lan.

Lock wood isprang'up **all fired mad," and caught the bull's tail between his teeth, biting it through and through. Of course the animal was impressed with the power of motion, and made a bolt which brought Lockwwd upon his face, dragging htm a dtzen yards, "urtfil freed from his tormentor.

They then withdraw from the pit before the auger is removed, and upon its refraction [sic] the water bursts up with great violence,
