Sub-Marine Armor.

A correspondent of the New Orleans Picayune gives an account of the submarine operations of workmen at Pensacola, Florida, who are supplied with the India-rubber casing which has been heretofore employed for wrecking purposes, in this vicinity. The casing, while submerged, is kept supplied with air by a tube of gutta percha, connected with a forcing pump. Thus equipped, a man may descond some thirty feet, and looking through the glass window of his casing, prosecute his examinations at leisure. The correspondent says:—

When the steamship Princeton was here, she lost an anchor and a long range of chain cable, for which they dragged two days unsuccessfully. It was in the middle of the bay, and the man in this marine armor walked out across the bay, found the anchor and chain without difficulty, after the proper direction was indicated, made a line fast to it, by which a hawser was sent down, and it was speedily recovered.

Occasionally there comes near him an enormous blue shark, but has evidently mistaken the diver for some sea monster as he halts near him without making any demonstration, and as soon as the man stirs up or biles the water, the blue cannibal of the ocean slowly moves away. Different kinds of fishes play around him, and even nibble at his gar-ments—-sometimes he grabs one, but cannot hold it, as it slips through his fingers. Mr. Whipple, the scientific inventor and proprietor of this armor, stated that there was but one improvement that he could think of to complete it, and that was a gutta percha speaking tube, with which to hold converse with a man ten or fifteen fathoms from the surface, while working on the bed of a river, &c. He gave me a very interesting account of his operations while on the Spanish Main searching for the treasures sunk in the Spanish ship of the-line San Pedro near the city of Cumana. He likewise showed me some of the old blackened, and worn Spanish coins, of which the company recovered more than three hundred and fifty thousand doltars, which had been buried with the wreck upwards of forty years. ~~~~~~~

AMBKICAN MUSKETS FO* FotKIOM USE. ~-There ia great activity at present among some of our American gun manufacturers, induced In part by the war in Europe. The Wiudsor VO Journal «eys that the Rotibins 6s Lawrence Company, of Windsor, havo just contracted tor the manufacture of muskets to the amount of some four or five hundred thousand dollars. The contract is made'for a company in London, and the arm to be manufactured is the Miunie rifle with some modifications. The fulfilment of the contract will require an additional force of tome two or three hundred men. Two establishments in

Massachusetts have alto received sim« ilar orders, one of which is for 20,000 rifle muskets.

They make Sandwiches in Australia by putting a piece of leather between two ahinglei. The price depends on the supply of pld boott. ,,^

THE FLIGHT OF NEWS.—-No piece of news was ever carried such a vast dis tnnce in so short a lime, as was the an nouncement of the death of the Russian Emperor. It took place at noon on the 2d of March, and in an hour or two it was known in nearly every part of the European continent and the British islands. On the 3d of March the Africa sailed from Liverpool with the news She reached Halifax at noon of the 15ih, and by tho close of that day there was scarcely a town in the United States where the great event was not known. Thirteen days had sufficed to carry the intelligence over two continents and one broad ocean. There was never a more striking illustration of the wonderful workings of electricity and steam as means of annihilating distance.—Phil,
