In looking on an ordinary globe, a limit ed portion of the earth's surface comes only under survey at once. It ha,' there fore, occurred to'Mr Wyld to figure the eath's surface on the inside, instead of the outside of a sphei'e to give in fact, an inverted j-Jobe enabling the observer to embrace in one view the physical leat uresof the world which he inhabits. That surface which w-ill be looked on as the inside coating of the sphere is exactly that which exists on the exterior crust til the -Treat glnbe itself. This verv allowable departure from the truth, without mislead-1 ing anv one, admits ot our obtaining a knowledge of the distribution of the land and water over the whole planet, which could not be in any other way secured. The great feature in fact, of this globe as a medium of summary teaching is, that it presents f what nothing on a less scale can tin) the means of presenting the various physical phenomena at once and their re lations which in all other educational documents have to be studied separately and in detail. The sphere on which the earth is mod eledand w hich is now in process of erec tion, in the centre of Leicester Square is 65 feet in diameter. Visitors will pass into the interior of this huge ball; and by means of a winding staircase or gallery will proceed around it, viewing every part of the model at a distance of four feet from the eye: and these arrangements are so contrived that it will not interfere with the general view of the entire surface. -i t J - . : i : j., i tne scaie is icu nines iu uur men Horizon tal, and one mile to an inch vertical.

The Steamer Ohio of the Union Line,- which left New Castle today, was rdri into at 8 o'clock this morning by the steamer Com modore Stockton, off Greenwich Point one mile from Philadelphia. The Ohio's bow was knocked entirely oiT and she stink in about 20 minutes "after leiVi struck. When Ihe water i rallied the uppeY deck the consternation became frightfUt, women' and childicn running up and dovVn Utter ing the most piteous la mentations.

The relief boats took matiy off the wreck but the lights being extinguished by Ihe water persons could not see where to' go or determine what! to do: The boat sunk so rapidly that nearly all' tlie baggage tloated oft attd was lost.

StjiSden Interruption of a Lady's Toi let. A few days since, a lady iu St. Louis was engaged before her mirror in going through her toilet exercises,- when the glass suddenly receded from her, as the entire front wall of the building parted company with its neighbors and with a tremendous crash fell into the street. The lady, in utter astonishment at the sudden ness ol the motion, was left standing in dishabille, though, singularly enough, en tirely uninjured. hi consequence of the recent gradins of the street, the earth beneath the wall had been partially remo veif. and its sudden giving- way was the cause of the accident.
