The information, although not denied to have been received from the Esquimaux, who communicated with the whites and who found the may he relied on. There is no doubt left as to the truth of the report. -The natives had in their possession various articles of European manufacture, which had been in possession of the whites, among them several silver spoons, forks, ic., on one of which was tngraved "Sir John Franklin, K.

OCT The New GoW Dollars in circulation, are much larger, ami consequently, much more convenient than-the coinage of 18-10, ami also differ in design and execution.

The most striking peculiarity noticeable in the new coin, however, is tfie omiasion of the thirteen stars which have always been so characteristic of our specie. The new dollar is of the size of our half dime.

pcct which a Railroad gives to a place i through which it passes; what a general rush of Omnibuses and drays amidst the whooping of drivets, mid the collected crowd of boys, as the shrill whistle announces the arrival of the 3 o’clock train!

Speed of flip Arctic at the Time .vof.the Collision. .

.—The non arrival'of the steamship “Her Majesty** at Quc!>cc, which is now ont from Scotland koine Rcven wcjks, is beginning to excite alarm.

The New York Express holds the. folowing language: ■ Banning in the fog thirteen knots an mm, and the Tog so thick that the bow of the boat cbnld not bo seen from the stem to tho stern, is running a risk which astounds most men who do not think much of the subject. It scorns to them vcry'mnch like being shot ont of a ’ cannon into tho dork, when a wall may bo hit, or something else as hap}. -But . if wo set down,’ and ■ calculate upon, a voyage 3,000 miles .long, the chances of col* lision, in’comparison withtho smallnumher of vessels usually seen oh the hroid ocean, these chances ore small, very small —and indeed so small, that upon sailors jand captains, they produce very'little effect. In all time past, tho captains of onr packet ships, or clipper ships, have never paid enough of respect" to these chances, to tempt them to stay their progress in the least, and hence they have always run off the foggy coast of Newfoundland with the same speed that they would run off the clear coast of Italy,It has been calculated mathematically, by sailors, that they run, no great risk in these fogs under the doctrine of chances though risk there certainly is—and hence the confidence with which tlry nm into them and through them.” "Whatever objections may bo urged t against a high rate of speed in an ocean fog, it is quite certain that those who were saved from the Arctic owe their safety to her high speed. The propeller was running at the rate of fifteen knots an hour, and had all her sails set, because she was running before, the wind. If the Arctic, with the wind against her, had been under the influence of a feeble amount of steam, the propeller would have cut her in two, - and probably there would not have been a survivor. .The steamship City of Philadelphia, which struck a sunken rock, during o fog, might have fared better if sho had been running slowly. But no human foresight can guard against the accidents of this life.

nested; it is this that levclsmountaius, builds our cUies, constrncts our Railroads, and scads the ship of commerce-on every sea. In fact, it . is the secret of all public improvement; but there is nti inquiry which arises here—and one which every utilitarian will make. "Will it pay?” Will the contemplated lino of Telegraph from Rising Snn to Vevay permanently sustain itself without any connection, with Madison or other impoitant point? Will not some friend to the enterprise answer this question? If this is done to the satisfaction of the community, the work is already half accomplished. Get the attention of the people enlisted in it, and energy and public spirit will accomplish the rest. Nkmo.

tion, it is reported, has borrowed to'the amount of §150,000; but it is -supposed that this may have been done for the purpore of sustaining the hank. The Ocean Bank’s troubles originated in the defalcation of the first Teller Mr. McGtichen, in the amount of §140,000. Certified checks were issued, which were subsequently refused. It is understood that the Teller has been in the practice of certifying the checks of certain parties engaged in the bank note brokerage, and destitute of funds; that the checks were destroyed; inadequate accounts kept in the*names of the confederates, ami so the books apparently remained regular. It is understood that much funds abstracted from flic Bank have been invested in California speculations, and that measures have been taken to secure tho Bank by holding these. On the embarrassed condition of tho Ocean becoming known, the Bank of live State oflered tbcusoof §140,000, if needed. A card from the Cashier, published under our Commercial head slates that the extreme outside defiicit is 875,000, that tho Bank has a surplus of 845,000, and that tho capital of the Ocean Bank being 81,000,000, no intormptiou will occur in tho transaction of business.
